Our Financial Performance

  • The Ferrero Group closed the financial year, which ended on​
    31 August 2024, with a consolidated turnover of EUR18.4 billion, an increase of 8.9% compared with the previous year’s turnover of EUR17 billion. Despite the challenging economic and geopolitical environment, the Group was able to continue its robust growth and consolidate its market share across categories and regions thanks to the resilience of its people, its brands and its business model.
  • Our iconic brands such as Nutella®, Ferrero Rocher®, Kinder Bueno® and Kinder Joy® achieved net sales growth, driven by the USA and Italy, accompanied by the consolidation of market shares in most of the regions.
