COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Danish brewer Carlsberg on Thursday reported first-quarter sales excluding Russia up 27% year on year and said full-year guidance remained unchanged.
The world’s third-biggest brewer said sales in the quarter reached 14.9 billion Danish crowns ($2.10 billion), compared with 11.8 billion crowns a year earlier. The numbers did not include sales in Russia, where it has decided to divest its business.
