Heineken NV Wednesday reported a 1.3% drop in net profit for the
first six months of the year as currency movements and divestments
weighed on sales, while it expects organic growth to moderate in the
second half of the year. The Dutch brewer said net profit for the
first half of the year was 631 million euros ($842 million), from
EUR639 million in the year-ago period.
Revenue dropped 0.9% to
EUR9.27 billion, from EUR9.35 billion in the first half of 2013. The
sale of a beverage company in Finland and negative foreign exchange
effects offset volume growth and higher prices for its products. On an
organic basis revenue grew 4.8% on 3% volume growth and 1.8% higher
revenue per hectoliter.
"We are confident that our strong brand portfolio, geographic breadth
and focus on cost control will result in healthy top and bottom line
growth in 2014 and beyond," Chief executive Jean-Francois van Boxmeer
said.
