Merck KGa Germany reported a 4.8% decline in Q2 sales to €5.3 billion. Despite strong growth in the Healthcare sector, Group EBITDA pre declined by 12.8% to €1.55 billion due to decreased sales volumes and lower share of higher-margin products. The company has updated its 2023 forecast, expecting an organic sales growth of -2% to +2% and an organic decline in EBITDA pre by -9% to -3%. Both net sales and EBITDA pre are likely to be impacted by negative foreign exchange effects.
