5% organic revenue growth demonstrating strength and diversity of portfolio
8.8% adjusted operating profit[3] growth; continued strong momentum
FY 2023 guidance reiterated, completion of Lamisil sale
Brian McNamara, Chief Executive Officer, Haleon said:
“I am pleased with our Q3 results, which demonstrate continued strong momentum across the business. Despite challenging markets, we have delivered another quarter of strong organic growth, reflecting the strength of our category positions and the ongoing ability of our brands to grow or maintain share.
Our Power Brands grew ahead of the overall portfolio in the period, with all three Oral Health brands, Panadol and Centrum the standout performers. In Oral Health, innovation underpinned brand success alongside excellent execution in market.
The productivity program continues to progress well and remains on track, as we ensure that Haleon’s structure and operations as a standalone business are optimised to deliver effectively for our customers and consumers.
Our FY guidance remains unchanged and we expect to deliver strong growth in both organic revenue and adjusted operating profit constant currency. Whilst we are mindful of what remains an uncertain economic and geopolitical environment, we remain confident in our medium term guidance, and remain committed to drive long term sustainable growth.”

Outlook
For FY 2023 the Company continues to expect:
Foreign exchange
As shared in the Aide Memoire dated 9 October 2023, whilst we do not guide specifically on foreign exchange, translational foreign exchange based on spot rates as at 30 September 2023 and using FY2022 results as a base for FY 2023, would have a negative impact of c.3.5% on revenue and negative impact of c.6-6.5% on Adjusted operating profit.
Lamisil
The Lamisil disposal to Karo Healthcare AB announced with HY 2023 results on 2 August completed 31 October 2023. As a reminder at that time we commented that whilst the disposal is expected to be dilutive to Adjusted operating margin in 2024, this should be offset by the productivity program. The impact for FY 2023 is expected be slightly dilutive to constant currency adjusted operating profit growth, which is already reflected in the FY 2023 guidance in the Outlook section above.
