[HIGHLIGHTS] Air Liquide increases its net profit by 11.6% and doubles its operating margin target

Air Liquide increases its net profit by 11.6% and doubles its operating margin target. In terms of 2023 accounts, Air Liquide shows a decline in its turnover of -7.8%.

But this decline can be explained exclusively by the fall in energy prices. Without this element, its activity increased by 3.7%. Above all, its operating profit exceeds 5 billion euros, up 4.2% (and 11.4% like-for-like). The operating margin thus stands at 18.4%.
