2017 EARNINGS EXPECTATION
Commenting on the results, CEO Cees ’t Hart says: “Funding the Journey is progressing very well and we feel confident about delivering benefits of around DKK 2bn. Consequently, we’re able to adjust our earnings outlook upwards.
“In the third quarter, our premiumisation efforts continued to deliver a solid price/mix development, while volumes, as expected, were impacted by the PET downsizing in Russia, tough comparables in Eastern Europe and poor weather in Western Europe.”
