COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT NO 56/2025 - November 12, 2025

EBIT up 15% in Q3 driven by solid commercial performance and margin expansion

Key Highlights Q3 2025

CEO Lars Jensen comments: "We delivered a strong third quarter with 15% EBIT growth, driven by solid margin expansion and continued commercial momentum across our key categories. While consumer sentiment remains soft across several markets, our teams executed well, and we remain on track with our plans. Our strategic decision to reduce private-label production in Italy and phase out low-margin business underlines our commitment to quality growth in the most attractive beverage categories. Our growth framework now covers more than 60% of Group revenue and combined with our focus on efficiency and margin improvement, this positions us strongly to deliver sustainable, profitable growth that exceeds industry averages going forward”.

Assumptions for guidance remain unchanged.
