Coca-Cola HBC AG, a growth-focused Consumer Packaged Goods business and strategic bottling partner of The Coca-Cola Company, today announces its Q1 2023 trading update.
FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
“Consistent execution of our strategy has led to a good start to 2023 and we expect to deliver another year of strong performance. As a result, we now have greater confidence in achieving positive organic EBIT growth in 2023.
Revenue growth was strong, thanks to our in-market agility and our tailored consumer and customer plans. Market shares improved for both non-alcoholic ready-to-drink and Sparkling, while we effectively implemented thoughtful price and mix changes in the face of continued cost inflation. Although some markets have been impacted by a tougher consumer environment, our track record of successful revenue growth management and our sustained focus on investing in data enhanced growth capabilities puts us in a strong position to adapt.
We have continued to invest in our portfolio to strengthen our position as The Leading 24/7 Beverage Partner. In Q2 we will relaunch Kinley, launch Jack Daniel’s & Coca-Cola in selected markets and further roll out Caffè Vergnano. With the talent of our people and the strength of our partnerships, we are well positioned for long-term, sustainable growth throughout 2023 and beyond.”
Zoran Bogdanovic Chief Executive Officer
