低糖健康飲料成可口可樂公司新寵

The Coca-Cola Company recorded third quarter net revenues of $9.51 billion in results published last week.

上周可口可樂公司公布了其收益情況，該公司第三季度凈收入為95.1億美元。

This is a growth of 8.3% higher from same period last year, which was largely driven by its Coke Zero Sugar line and by smaller can sizes.

與去年同期相比，其凈收入增長了8.3%，這從很大程度上得益于零度可樂和小罐可樂的銷售。

While earnings were largely in line with analyst estimates, revenue exceeded expectations, which can be attributed to strong demand for zero-sugar sodas and Coca-Cola Plus Coffee, as well as a boost from core sparkling soft drink brands, which enabled new innovations and investments across the portfolio.

雖然可口可樂公司的收入與分析師的預(yù)期基本一致，但其收益超出了預(yù)期，這可歸因于對零糖蘇打水和咖啡味可樂的強勁需求，以及核心碳酸飲料品牌的提振，這些品牌推動了整個產(chǎn)品組合的創(chuàng)新和投資。

James Quincey, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company said: “Our performance gives us confidence that our strategies are taking hold with our consumers, customers and system.

可口可樂公司董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官詹姆斯·昆西表示：“我們的業(yè)績讓我們相信，我們的戰(zhàn)略使我們抓住了消費者和顧客，并在我們的體系中站穩(wěn)了腳跟。

“We are positioning the company to create a better shared future for all of our stakeholders by delivering on our vision and growing sustainably.”

“我們對公司的定位是，通過實現(xiàn)我們的愿景和可持續(xù)增長，為我們所有的參股者創(chuàng)造更美好的共同未來。”

Geographically, the quarter results included 3% organic sales growth in North America and Asia Pacific, as well as a 4% increase for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Latin America, which was up 14% on an organic basis, had the best sales performance out of the regions.

從地理分布來開，該季度北美和亞太地區(qū)的有機銷售額增長了3%，歐洲、中東和非洲地區(qū)的有機銷售額增長了4%。拉丁美洲的銷售業(yè)績是所有地區(qū)中最好的，有機增長率為14%。

In the US, Coca-Cola has driven sales by focusing on drinks with less sugar and smaller packaging, in fitting with health trends. Coke Zero Sugar also performed well, with an eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit volume growth globally. Strong growth in smaller packages was seen across the board, for example the 7.5-ounce mini cans of soda.

在美國，為了迎合健康趨勢，可口可樂公司把重點放在低糖和小包裝的飲料上，從而推動了銷售。零度可樂的表現(xiàn)也不錯，其全球銷量連續(xù)第八個季度實現(xiàn)兩位數(shù)增長。所有小包裝飲料的銷量增長都強勁，例如7.5盎司的小罐蘇打水。
