Strong Sales Growth Despite Reported Loss
Müller Reports Sales Boost following a significant increase of £100 million in sales, rising from £2.33 billion to £2.43 billion. Despite this positive growth, the company reported a £65.3 million pre-tax loss for 2023.
Factors Contributing to the Loss
The reported loss resulted from a one-time financial impact tied to the company’s divestment from its Milk & More business. Additionally, Müller faced an impairment loss on investment, further affecting overall results. Excluding these losses, Müller reported a net profit for the year.

- Enhanced operational networks
- A diverse product portfolio
- Strong partnerships with retailers and farmers
- A robust sustainability plan
Strategic Growth and Acquisitions
In a strategic move, Müller secured approval from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to acquire Yew Tree Dairy. This acquisition strengthens Müller’s fresh milk and cream production capabilities in West Lancashire.
