Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Spruengli AG
Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Spruengli AG makes premium chocolate products under brands such as Lindt, Lindor, and Ghirardelli. It sells boxed chocolates, bars, truffles, seasonal gifts, and other confectionery items made from cocoa, milk, sugar, and nuts. The company’s products are aimed at shoppers looking for higher-end chocolate for everyday treats, gifting, and holidays. The company sells mainly through grocery stores, specialty shops, duty-free locations, its own branded stores, and online channels. It also supplies restaurants, hotels, and other food-service customers in some markets. Lindt & Spruengli earns money by manufacturing chocolate and selling finished branded products to retailers and consumers, rather than by licensing its name to others. What makes its business model distinct is its focus on premium chocolate rather than mass-market candy. The company controls a large part of the product experience, from recipe and brand image to packaging and retail presentation, which helps it charge higher prices than commodity chocolate makers. It sits near the top of the chocolate value chain, turning cocoa and other ingredients into branded gifts and indulgences that consumers recognize and often buy for themselves or as presents.

Record Results: Lindt & Sprüngli reported strong first-half results, achieving record EBIT and net income margins, with organic sales up 10.1%.
Guidance Raised: The company increased its full-year 2023 organic sales growth guidance to 7%–9% (from 6%–8%) and raised EBIT margin guidance to 30–50 basis points improvement.
Pricing Power: Successful price increases of 9.3% helped offset sharp cost inflation, particularly in raw materials like cocoa and sugar, with volume slightly negative but offset by positive mix.
Cost Inflation: Management expects further cost pressure, especially from cocoa and sugar, into the second half and 2024, with some relief from packaging and milk costs.
Continued Investment: Efficiency gains, especially in North America, and increased advertising spend are being reinvested to drive future growth and brand strength.
Sustainability Progress: The company continues to advance sustainability initiatives, including sourcing 67% of cocoa through sustainability programs, publishing a new deforestation policy, and defining science-based climate targets.
