Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) has reported a 5.5% growth in revenue per unit case, driven by a favourable underlying price and package mix.
It witnessed a comparable volume growth of 4.5% during the period, partly offset by a late Easter and the impact of last year’s soft-drink tax changes.
The beverage giant also announced a first-half interim dividend of €0.62, up 19% year on year, in line with its annual dividend payout ratio of 50%.
