Beiersdorf AG, the maker of Nivea, Coppertone and other personal care brands, posted strong Q1 sales.

According to its provisional figures, Beiersdorf achieved a substantial increase in organic group sales of 10.3% to €2,215 million ($2.4 billion at current exchange rates) in the first quarter. Organic sales in the consumer business segment climbed 11.6%  to $1.94 billion. The Tesa business segment reported organic sales growth of 5.1% to $462 million.

The company noted that currently there are uncertainties due to the war in Ukraine, corona-driven lockdowns in China and inflationary pressure on raw material and logistics costs. Measures for mitigating this cost pressure have already been taken group-wide, according to Beiersdorf.

As a result, the 2022 full-year sales forecast published in March for the Consumer business segment remains unchanged in light of the ongoing volatile market environment. Beiersdorf anticipates sales growth in the mid-single-digit range for the consumer business.
