Following a very good start to fiscal 2010, we have now seen our operations continue their successful development in the second quarter, with our Adhesive Technologies and Mac Cosmetics/Toiletries business sectors making a particularly strong contribution. In addition, the share of sales generated within the growth regions reached 41 percent," said Kasper Rorsted, Chairman of the Henkel Management Board, adding: "Our excellent performance in the second quarter was once again due to our strong brands and successful innovations. However, our continuing focus on implementing more efficient structures, stricter cost management, and the progress made in the pursuit of our strategic priorities have also contributed substantially to the very good results achieved. As a consequence we are now looking forward to an improvement of more than 25 percent in earnings versus 2009."abdghyt,safaetwe
In the second quarter of 2010, Henkel generated sales of 3,890 million euros. In a stabilizing market environment, this was an increase of 11.6 percent compared to the figure for the prior-year quarter. After adjusting for foreign exchange, sales improved by 6.0 percent. Organically, i.e. after adjusting for foreign exchange and acquisitions/divestments, a further significant increase in sales of 6.8 percent was achieved compared to the prior-year quarter. This follows on from strong sales growth in the first quarter of 2010. This positive development was driven by the Adhesive Technologies and Cosmetics/Toiletries business sectors. With a 13.6 percent increase, Adhesive Technologies again achieved a double-digit organic growth rate.
Mac Cosmetics/Toiletries once more substantially outperformed market growth with an organic improvement of 5.0 percent. The Laundry & Home Care business sector achieved positive volume growth although, due to intensified promotional and price competition, recorded a decline in organic sales of minus 1.5 percent.mac cosmetics mac cosmetics Calvin klein underwear ck underwear calvin klein underwear ck underwear SEO SEO abdghyt
