Business Review
2023 edged ahead of the record achieved in 2022 delivering a trading profit of €877m, up 5% on prior year.
EPS was up by 7%, despite revenue declining marginally by 3% in total, and by 7% on an underlying basis. Whilst some markets displayed volume pressure, the predominant reason for the contraction in revenue was the knock-on deflationary impact of raw material pricing in the early part of the year
