2024展望
2024財年,公司繼續預計:
● | 有機營業收入增長率爲4-6% |
● | 有機營業利潤增長將達到高個位數 |
● | 併購的淨影響將使2024財年的營業收入和調整後營業利潤分別下降約1.5%和約4%。這包括了 Lamisil, ChapStick 以及Haleon在美國以外地區的NRt業務的出售 |
● | 淨利息支出約32000萬英鎊 |
● | 24-25%的調整後有效稅率 |
匯率期貨
如2024年10月7日的備忘錄中所述,雖然我們不會明確指導匯率期貨,但根據2024年10月3日現貨匯率和以2023年財年業績作爲2024年財年基準,匯率期貨翻譯會對營業收入產生約4%左右的負面影響,對調整後營業利潤產生約6-6.5%的負面影響。
中期指導
在中期,公司預期:
● | 年度有機營業收入增長率爲4-6% |
● | 有機營業利潤增長超過有機營業收入增長 |
● | 淨債務/調整後EBITDA約爲2.5倍 |
● | 股息將至少與調整後收益同步增長 |
請注意,由於我們無法準確預測必須調整的某些調整項目,從而提供有意義的可比IFRS前瞻性財務指標,我們無法提供有關調整後EBITDA、調整後有效稅率、有機營業利潤增長、有機營業收入增長以及以恒定貨幣表示的度量的和調節查看信息的對賬。
資本配置
Haleon的資本配置優先級保持不變,第三季度取得了良好進展。
公司於9月27日宣佈就從合資企業(JV)天津泰仕康福(TSKF)收購合作伙伴額外33%股權達成協議,通過這家企業,Haleon在中國開展其場外交易業務,價格爲人民幣446500萬(約合£0.5億)。這將使Haleon在該合資企業中持有88%的股權。TSKF在Haleon2023財年中國營收中佔約40%。中國是Haleon的一個關鍵戰略市場,此項收購將提供更大的控制權,增加戰略和運營靈活性。交易預計將在2024年底前關閉,對每股收益有增值作用,前提是符合慣例的封閉條件,包括達仁堂集團股份有限公司(DRTG)股東的批准和適用的監管批准。
公司於9月30日宣佈完成將NRt業務在美國以外的出售,預付款爲45800萬英鎊,另有最高4200萬英鎊的遞延、基於業績的考慮,分別在2025年和2026年上半年支付。
Haleon於10月1日宣佈同意以23000萬英鎊的價格從輝瑞公司進行6050萬普通股的場外購買。總額中,11500萬英鎊的股票代表2024年分配給股票回購的50000萬英鎊餘額部分(作爲2024年2月29日宣佈的),後來被取消。從輝瑞購買的其餘股票(價值1150萬英鎊)作爲財務股票持有,用於滿足Haleon在2025年現有員工股份計劃下的義務。Haleon還宣佈已結束於2024年8月1日啓動的在市場上回購股票計劃。

Key category performance was as follows:
Oral Health
Revenue grew 2.5% on a reported basis and included a negative impact of 5.7% from foreign exchange movements. Organic revenue growth was sustained in the high-single digit range, +8.2%. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, high-single digit growth in Sensodyne was underpinned by performance in India, US and a number of European markets including UK and Germany. The roll-out of Sensodyne Clinical White continues to progress well, now in 11 markets with strong consumption growth. parodontax grew double digit excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements with strong performance across Middle East & Africa and Europe.

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Caltrate grew double digit driven by China where sales were ahead of the market.

In both markets, share continued to grow. Elsewhere, Centrum grew double digit in Middle East & Africa and South East Asia & Taiwan. Emergen-C sales were up low single digit, excluding foreign exchange movements.
Pain Relief
Revenue declined 1.3% on a reported basis and included a negative impact of 4.4% from foreign exchange movements. Organic revenue growth of 3.1% was driven by mid-single digit growth in Advil. Excluding foreign exchange movements, Voltaren was flat with strength in Middle East & Africa broadly offset by a decline in Germany. Panadol declined mid-single digit excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, against a strong comparative in Middle East & Africa and market weakness in Australia.

Revenue grew 3.9% on a reported basis and included a negative impact of 5.2% from foreign exchange movements Organic revenue increased 9.1%.

Excluding foreign exchange movements, Theraflu and Robitussin were each up double digit. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Otrivin was up high single digit supported by innovation including Otrivin Nasal Mist and allergy revenue declined high-single digit reflecting normal inventory reductions following a weak season.

Definitions and calculations of non-IFRS measures can be found in the Appendix.
Oral Health
Revenue grew 4.8% on a reported basis and included a negative impact of 4.5% from foreign exchange movements. Organic revenue grew 9.3%, with all three Power Brands delivering strong growth. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Sensodyne was up double digit due to strong performance in the US, India, Middle East & Africa, and China. parodontax grew double digit excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements. Denture Care grew high-single digit with particularly strong growth in Central & Eastern Europe, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements.
VMS
Revenue grew 3.1% on a reported abasis and included a negative impact of 4.2% from foreign exchange movements. Organic revenue grew 7.3% with mid-single digit growth in Centrum underpinned by performance in the US, South-East Asia and Taiwan and Latin America. Excluding foreign exchange movements, Caltrate grew double digit with continued strong performance in China. Emergen-C sales grew mid-single digit, excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements.
Pain Relief
Revenue declined 5.4% on a reported basis and included a negative impact of 3.3% from foreign exchange movements. Organic revenue declined 2.1%. As expected, performance reflected tough comparatives from H1 2023 due to strong demand for Fenbid in China following the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions, and with Advil in Canada from elevated demand in the prior year period. These impacts both fell away in the third quarter. Excluding foreign exchange movements, Panadol saw a mid-single digit decline largely driven by a tough comparative in Middle East & Africa along with shipping delays.

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Theraflu was up mid-single digit with strength in Central & Eastern Europe and Latin America. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, Otrivin grew mid-single digit underpinned by innovation including Otrivin Nasal Mist with double digit growth in Central and Eastern Europe.

North America | |
● | Revenue was £2,953m (2023: £3,064m), a decline of 3.6% on a reported basis which included the negative effect of foreign exchange rates of (3.0)% and net M&A of (1.3)%. As a result, organic revenue growth in North America was 0.7%, with 2.9% price and (2.2)% volume/mix. |
● | The decline in volume/mix was influenced by a number of factors including a challenging comparative relating to the strong cold and flu season in 2022/2023 and inventory reduction by certain US retailers in Q1 2024. Consumption in the US remained strong for Haleon products through the period, increasing mid-single digit reflecting share gains. |

Operating profit and margin
Reported operating profit increased by 7.6% at actual exchange rates to £1,856m (9m 2023: £1,725m), and reported operating profit margin increased by 170bps at actual exchange rates to 21.9% (9m 2023: 20.2%). This included £121m gain on disposal of the NRT business outside the US.
Adjusted operating profit decreased by 1.4% at actual exchange rates to £1,932m (9m 2023: £1,960m). FX reduced adjusted operating profit by 7.8% (£153m) and net M&A reduced it by 3.3% (£60m). Organic operating profit increased 9.7%. Good operational leverage, particularly through gross margin expansion, as well as efficiencies enabled high-single digit growth in A&P at constant currency and excluding the net impact of M&A.
As a result of the above, adjusted operating profit margin was 22.8%, up 120bps organically and down 20bps at actual exchange rates.

Appendix
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements
This document contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements“ (including for purposes of the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements give Haleon’s current expectations and projections about future events, including strategic initiatives and future financial condition and performance, and so Haleon’s actual results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "expects“, "anticipates“, "believes“, "targets“, "plans", "intends“, “aims”, "projects“, "indicates", "may", “might”, "will", "should“, “potential”, “could” and words of similar meaning (or the negative thereof). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, delivery on strategic initiatives (including but not limited to acquisitions and disposals, realisations of efficiencies and responsible business goals), future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, dividend payments and financial results.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Haleon speak only as of the date they are made and are based upon the knowledge and information available to Haleon on the date of this document. These forward-looking statements and views may be based on a number of assumptions and, by their nature, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and/or are beyond Haleon’s control or precise estimate. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause Haleon’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors” on pages 193 to 201 in Haleon’s Annual Report and Form 20-F 2023. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be construed in light of such risk factors and undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
Subject to our obligations under English and U.S. law in relation to disclosure and ongoing information (including under the Market Abuse Regulations, the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority), we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Haleon may make in any documents which it publishes and/or files with the SEC and take note of these disclosures, wherever you are located.
No statement in this document is or is intended to be a profit forecast or profit estimate.
Use of non-IFRS measures (unaudited)
We use certain alternative performance measures to make financial, operating, and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance. Adjusted Results and other non-IFRS measures may be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information presented in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted results
Adjusted results comprise adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted selling, general and administration (SG&A), adjusted research and development (R&D), adjusted other operating income/(expense), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating profit margin, adjusted income tax, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted profit attributable to shareholders, adjusted diluted earnings per

share. Adjusted results exclude net amortisation and impairment of intangible assets, restructuring costs, transaction-related costs, separation and admission costs, and disposals and others, in each case net of the impact of taxes (where applicable) (collectively the Adjusting items).
Management believes that adjusted results, when considered together with the Group’s operating results as reported under IFRS, provide investors, analysts and other stakeholders with helpful complementary information to understand the financial performance and position of the Group from period to period and allow the Group’s performance to be more easily comparable.
Adjusting items
Adjusted Results exclude the following items (net of the impact of taxes, where applicable):
Net amortisation and impairment of intangible assets
Net impairment of intangibles, impairment of goodwill and amortisation of acquired intangibles excluding computer software. These adjustments are made to reflect the performance of the business excluding the effect of acquisitions.
Restructuring costs
From time to time, the Group may undertake business restructuring programmes that are structural in nature and significant in scale. The cost associated with such programmes includes severance and other personnel costs, professional fees, impairments of assets, and other related items.
Transaction related costs
Transaction related accounting or other adjustments related to significant acquisitions including deal costs and other pre-acquisition costs when there is certainty that an acquisition will complete. It also includes costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities and the effect of inventory revaluations on acquisitions.
Separation and Admission costs
Costs incurred in relation to and in connection with Separation, UK Admission and registration of the Company’s Ordinary Shares represented by the Company’s American Depositary Shares (ADSs) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and listing of ADSs on the NYSE (the US Listing). These costs are not directly attributable to the sale of the Group’s products and specifically relate to the foregoing activities, affecting comparability of the Group’s financial results in historical and future reporting periods.
Disposals and others
Includes gains and losses on disposals of assets, businesses and tax indemnities related to business combinations, legal settlement and judgements, impact of changes in tax rates and tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities, retained or uninsured losses related to acts of terrorism, significant product recalls, natural disasters and other items. These gains and losses are not directly attributable to the sale of the Group’s products and vary from period to period, which affects comparability of the Group’s financial results. In addition, these gains and losses include net monetary gains or losses arising from hyperinflationary economics as this affects comparability of the Group’s financial results. From period to period, the Group will also need to apply judgement if items of unique nature arise that are not specifically listed above.

Constant currency
The Group’s reporting currency is Pounds Sterling, but the Group’s significant international operations give rise to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. To neutralise foreign exchange impact and to better illustrate the change in results from one year to the next, the Group discusses its results both on an “as reported basis” or using actual exchange rates (AER) (local currency results translated into Pounds Sterling at the prevailing foreign exchange rate) and using constant currency exchange rates (CER). To calculate results on a constant currency basis, prior year average exchange rates are used to restate current year comparatives except for the local currency of entities that operate in hyperinflationary economies. These currencies are translated into Pound Sterling using the prior year closing exchange rate. The principal currencies and relevant exchange rates in the key markets where the Group operates are shown below.

Organic revenue growth and organic operating profit growth
Our organic growth measures take our adjusted results and further exclude the impact of divestments, acquisitions, manufacture and supply agreements (MSAs) relating to divestments and closure production sites, and the impact of foreign currency exchange movements including changes in currency and price growth in excess of 26% in hyperinflationary economies from one period to the next. Inflation of 26% per year compounded over three years is one of the key indicators within IAS 29 to assess whether an economy is deemed to be hyperinflationary.
The Group believes discussing organic revenue growth and organic operating profit growth contributes to the understanding of the Group’s performance and trends because it allows for a year-on-year comparison of revenue and operating profit in a meaningful and consistent manner.
Organic measures are calculated period to period as follows, using prior year exchange rates to restate current year comparatives except for the local currency of entities that operate in hyperinflationary economies. These currencies are translated into Pound Sterling using the prior year closing exchange rate.
– | Current year organic measures exclude revenue and operating profit from brands or businesses acquired in the current accounting period. |
16
Q3 2024 Trading Statement Three months ended 30 September 2024 | |
| |
– | Current year organic measures exclude revenue and operating profit attributable to brands or businesses acquired in the prior year from 1 January to the date of completion of the acquisition. |
– | Prior year organic measures exclude revenue and operating profit in respect of brands or businesses divested or closed in the current accounting period from 12 months prior to the completion of the disposal or closure until the end of the prior accounting period. |
– | Prior year organic measures exclude revenue and operating profit in respect of brands or businesses divested or closed in the previous accounting period in full. |
– | Prior year and current year organic measures exclude revenue and operating profit attributable to MSAs relating to divestments and closure of production sites taking place in either the current or prior year, each an Organic Adjustment. These adjustments are made because these agreements are transitional in nature and, with respect to production site closures, include a ramp-down period in which revenue attributable to MSAs gradually reduces several months before the production site closes. |
To calculate organic growth for the period, organic measures for the prior year are subtracted from organic measures in the current year and divided by organic measures in the prior year.
Organic revenue growth by individual geographical segment is further discussed by price and volume/mix changes, which are defined as follows:
– Price: Defined as the variation in revenue attributable to changes in prices during the period. Price excludes the impact to organic revenue growth due to (i) the volume of products sold during the period and (ii) the composition of products sold during the period. Price is calculated as current year net price minus prior year net price multiplied by current year volume. Net price is the sales price, after deduction of any trade, cash or volume discounts that can be reliably estimated at point of sale. Value added tax and other sales taxes are excluded from the net price. In determining changes in price, we exclude the impact of price growth in excess of 26% per year in hyperinflationary economies as explained above.
– | Volume/Mix: Defined as the variation in revenue attributable to changes in volumes and composition of products sold in the period. |
The following tables reconcile reported revenue growth and reported operating profit growth to organic revenue growth and organic operating profit growth, respectively, for the periods presented.
