Nestlé Waters 2011 results
In reporting its 2011 results, Nestlé SA included results for Nestlé Waters. With sales of CHF 6.5bn, Nestlé Waters reported 5.2% organic growth and 3.4% real internal growth in 2011, with an 8.0% trading operating profit margin.
Nestlé Waters grew in all three zones.
In North America, it grew both in the retail channel and home & office. Nestlé Pure Life and the international brands S.Pellegrino, Perrier and Aqua Panna performed well, offsetting a tough competitive environment for the regional brands.
In Europe, the business gained share with strong performances in most markets including France, Italy, Germany and the UK.
Nestlé Waters continued to grow double-digit and build a stronger presence in the emerging markets, where sales exceeded CHF1bn.
Nestlé Pure Life continued to produce double-digit growth worldwide. There was high single-digit growth from the international brands – all strong contributors globally. Vittel and Hépar performed well in Europe, whilst Ice Mountain and Ozarka were the strongest of the regional US brands.
The Nestlé Waters trading operating profit margin increased 90 basis points due to rigorous cost management, especially in Europe, pricing and the strong growth in Europe and emerging markets.
