The capacity of the multinational food corporation Nestle (NSRGY 0.29%) to continue long-term growth has been jeopardized by shifting consumer patterns. But after recognizing that possible barrier, Nestle has worked hard to develop a recovery plan to revitalize its core business while adjusting to shifting circumstances.

In its most recent third-quarter financial report, Nestle primarily focuses on how well the business has done in boosting sales of its most important items. However, Nestle's announcement statement had a lot more details, including some intriguing facts that will increase shareholder returns over the following three years.

For the first nine months of the 2019 fiscal year, Nestle's sales results were generally positive. To reach 68.4 billion Swiss francs, reported total sales increased 2.9%. At 3.7%, organic growth was even more robust. About 0.7 cents of that came from Nestle's pricing power, while the remaining 3 cents came from actual internal growth. Nestle's total growth rate increased due to net acquisitions by 0.7 cents per centile point, while negative currency effects caused reported sales to fall by 1.5 cents per centile point.

Simple remarks were made on Nestle's efforts by CEO Mark Schneider. Schneider added, 'We are happy with our nine-month achievements and have advanced further toward our 2020 financial targets. The CEO cited the sale of the company's Nestle Skin Health subsidiary as an example of the portfolio restructuring the company has been doing to highlight its most promising businesses. A strategic business unit would still be kept to focus on the product internally, but the food giant also said that it will divide up its water business and incorporate it into its three regional zs as of the beginning of 2020.

Nestle has high hopes for the future. The business reaffirmed that it still expects organic sales to rise by roughly 3.5% for the entire year and that it would be able to sustain an operating margin of at least 17.5%. Nestle continues to predict that profits share will increase from year-ago levels after accounting for currency impacts.

The fact that Nestle revealed intentions to return a significant amount of cash to its investors may, however, be what shareholders find most satisfying. The Nestle board decided to payout up to 20 billion Swiss francs to shareholders between 2020 and 2022. The food company plans to continue paying out quarterly dividends while also repurchasing stock and disbursing one-time payments when circumstances call for it.
