Pernod Ricard Q3 Sales Climb 19%, Backs Full Year Profit View
Organic growth was 7 percent and forex had a positive impact of 12 percent. Growth was in part favored by the comparative basis, the company noted. Alexandre Ricard, Chairman and CEO, said, "Our Sales growth to date at +2% is solid and confirms the gradual improvement we had announced in October, in an environment that remains challenging."
The company, further, confirmed its 2014/15 guidance of organic growth in profit from recurring operations between 1 and 3 percent.
Ricard added that the company is also benefiting from a highly positive forex impact, driven by the stronger US dollar. The forex impact on profit from recurring operations is now estimated at 180 million euros for the full FY2014/15. (dpa)
