Hi Toyin, also from their RNS
Good sales growth in all three businesses
· Group sales +7% at constant currency driven by higher sales volumes, comprising:
o Consumer Care sales +7%, benefitting from higher sales volumes
§ Beauty Actives +1%, Beauty Care +3%, Fragrances & Flavours (F&F) +17%, Home Care +7%
o Life Sciences sales +9%, growing in all regions
§ Seed +17% and Crop +12% with improved demand from multi-national customers (MNCs)
§ Pharma +5% with continued biopharma growth and slow recovery in consumer health
o Industrial Specialties sales +4%
Doesn't look like the market was impressed though as SP continues to slide, currently down 7.7%.
