Heineken Holding N.V. doubles organic net profit growth forecast for 2007
Bericht
Amsterdam, 18 July 2007 - Heineken Holding N.V. today announced that it has raised its forecast for organic net profit growth for the full-year ending 31 December 2007. Heineken Holding N.V. now expects that organic net profit growth for the full-year will be in the range of 20-25%. The increase in the organic net profit growth forecast is being driven by strong volume growth in several regions of the world. Earlier this year Heineken Holding N.V. announced that organic net profit growth in 2007 was expected to be in the range of 10-13%.
In the first six months of 2007, consolidated beer volume2 grew from 53.3 to 58.2 million hectolitres (+9.3%). Organic growth in consolidated beer volume was 8.3% whilst first-time consolidations contributed 1.0 % to the volume increase, the latter mainly relating to the breweries acquired in Vietnam. Group beer volume3 in the first six months of 2007 totalled 68.1 million hectolitres (+8.5%). The Heineken® brand continued to gain share in the international premium segment, growing from 11.0 million hectolitres to 12.1 million hectolitres (+10.8%) in the segment.
Consolidated beer volumeFirst half-year (‘000 hls) 2007 2006 Change
Western Europe 15,957 15,806 1.0%
Central and Eastern Europe 24,547 21,946 11.9%
Americas 6,660 6,386 4.3%
Africa 7,182 6,166 16.5%
Asia Pacific 3,890 2,971 30.9%
Total 58,236 53,275 9.3%
All regions contributed positively to the increase in consolidated beer volume.
Volumes showed particular strong growth in Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia, accelerating revenue and profit growth of Heineken Holding N.V.. Strong economies, favourable weather, increased demand for international premium beers and the strength of the brand portfolios were the main drivers of this growth.
In Western Europe, wet weather in June offset part of the exceptional volume gains achieved in the first four months of 2007.
In the U.S.A., a 3.5% average price increase and mixed weather held back volume growt
