May 14 (Reuters) - Swiss hearing aid maker Sonova Holding reported full-year core profit in line with market expectations and forecast accelerating growth for 2024 on Tuesday, citing a strong performance across its businesses.

The world's largest maker of hearing aids posted adjusted earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) of 771.4 million Swiss francs ($849.2 million) for the year through March, matching analysts' average forecast of 771 million francs in a poll by Vara Research.

The results were dented by strong gains of the Swiss franc against other currencies, including the euro and the U.S. dollar. Sonova makes around 80% of its sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region and the United States.

The adjusted EBITA declined by 8.2% from a year earlier as reported in Swiss francs due to unfavourable exchange rate movements. On constant currency basis, it grew by 4.4%.

For the 2024/25 financial year, Sonova expects its consolidated sales to grow by 6% to 9% and adjusted EBITA to rise by 7% to 11%, both at constant exchange rates. It expects the momentum to pick up for both in the second half of the year. ($1 = 0.9084 Swiss francs) (Reporting by Amir Orusov and Anastasiia Kozlova, Editing by Milla Nissi)
