In response to financial performances falling short of expectations, BIC has revised its forecasts for 2025. Revenue growth at constant exchange rates is now expected to be between -1% and -1.5%. The adjusted operating margin is projected to be around 13.7%, while the generation of net free cash flow is estimated at 210 million euros. Additionally, BIC announced the sale of its Cello stationery business in India to a consortium led by Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited.
Market Challenges Impacting Performance
A challenging market environment has impacted BIC's performance, particularly in North America and Latin America. In the United States, the lighter and razor market remained under pressure, affecting the results of the Flame for Life division. In Europe and the Middle East, growth has been more favorable, notably due to distribution gains and value-added products. In response to these challenges, CEO Rob Versloot expressed his intention to strengthen the group's foundations and adapt operations to better seize future opportunities.
