Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Spruengli AG reported consolidated sales results for the full year of 2012. For the period, the company reported consolidated annual sales of CHF 2.670 billion. Organic growth is mainly attributable to substantially higher volumes.

The Group expects its operating profit to advance even more strongly than sales growth. The operating margin increase will therefore reach the upper end of the 20 to 40 basis point range announced previously.
