(Reuters) - German flavour and fragrance maker Symrise on Wednesday forecast a stable core profit margin for 2023, slightly below market expectations, after it confirmed its preliminary full-year earnings and sales.
The company, whose fragrances go into the perfumes of French luxury giants LVMH and Kering, expects its core profit (EBITDA) margin to reach 20% this year, in line with the 20.0% it reported for 2022 and below analysts' average estimate of 20.4% in a company-provided poll.
