BRUSSELS, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The CTH Invest Group, through its holding company CTH Invest S.A., an affiliated party of Ferrero Group, approved the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2023/2024 financial year, which ended on August 31, 2024.
In highly competitive markets across the Americas, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia, the CTH Invest Group - including Ferrara Candy Company Inc., the Fine Biscuits Company (FBC) S.A., and Fox's Burton's Company (FBC) UK Ltd. - delivered strong performance and closed the 2023/2024 financial year with a consolidated revenue of EUR3 billion. Gross profit reached EUR890 million, reflecting the Group's solid operational foundation and demonstrating financial resilience with robust cash flow.
Due to a change in the financial year, the prior consolidated financial statements covered a 20-month period. As a result, direct comparison with the current 12-month results is not considered relevant.
With operations spanning four continents, the CTH Invest Group operated 25 manufacturing plants as of August 31, 2024. During the period, the Group's global average workforce reached 12,882 employees.
The Group's growth was driven by solid organic performance and strategic acquisitions, underscoring the continued success of its entrepreneurial vision and strategy led by its Shareholder, Giovanni Ferrero.
"Our performance this year demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business," said Guido Giannotta, Director at CTH Invest S.A. "Despite a financial year shaped by a challenging economic environment-marked by fluctuating commodity prices and ongoing inflationary pressures affecting markets globally-we achieved solid growth, strengthened our market position in both the sugar and biscuits categories, and advanced in key geographic markets. We also successfully completed the acquisitions of Dori Alimentos in Brazil, Jelly Belly Candy Company in the U.S. and Michel et Augustin in France, reinforcing our international presence. Following the close of the financial year, we finalized the acquisition of Nonni's Bakery in the U.S. on October 1, 2024. Beyond revenue growth, we've expanded our production capacity and global workforce-reflecting the long-term vision and strategic focus that drive our business forward."
