The Company, a global manufacturer of stationery, lighters, and shavers revealed this in its just-released financial results for the period under review.

Speaking on the Company performance, the chief executive officer of BIC, Gonzalve Bich, stated that “our third quarter results demonstrated the strong resilience of our operating model and our adaptability to navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment.”

He added that “leveraging our commercial and financial discipline, we saw sequential net sales improvement while delivering robust margins and free cash flow generation. This enabled us to raise our adjusted EBIT margin outlook for the year, and we now expect an adjusted EBIT margin approaching 15.5 per cent for 2024.”

According to Bich, performance was driven by gradual improvement in our Flame for Life division in the US and continued growth across the rest of the Group, through solid execution, notably in Blade Excellence. In Human Expression, we gained market share during the Back-to-School season in key geographies, despite the ongoing softness in consumption negatively impacting market trends.
