Performance in Poland and Greece were in line with expectations, according to the group.

“Whilst trading conditions in most markets remain challenging, the group remains focussed on delivering its dynamic brand renovation and innovation programme in conjunction with an ongoing cost reduction programme,” said the group.

“In the group's largest market Nigeria, whilst the naira is currently stable there remains a risk of further currency devaluation. The market is currently adjusting relative pricing and consumer spending power is likely to be impacted in the short-term by the imported inflation.”
