RE:RE:RE:RE:Very strong quarter !!!They have limited visibility on revenues because they really don't know their customers as bulk of sales is through distributors, mainly Symrise. They state that sales from Q to Q will be lumpy.
The only indicator is industry market trends, which calls for BG sales to have a CAGR of about 7.5%.

The problem is that CZO has limited visibility concerning what is coming next quarter and quarter-to-quarter sales can be quite volitile. CZO is forced to be conservative and speak of year-over-year results so as not to be hit by the quarter-to-quarter variability.
Looking back at sales over the last decade one can see the year-over-year growth and this is part of the reason Gilles sticks with his 10% growth guidance until proven otherwise.
