Britvic’s Q3 2024 trading update shows significant revenue growth across multiple regions despite challenges.

Britvic’s CEO, Simon Litherland, commented on the performance, emphasizing the strength of the company’s diverse brand portfolio, which includes popular names like Fruit Shoot, Robinsons, Tango, and J2O, as well as licensed PepsiCo brands such as Pepsi and 7UP. Litherland noted, “Trading in the quarter has been strong, with revenue increasing +6.3%, benefiting from both positive price/mix and volume growth, demonstrating the strength of our portfolio of brands. Despite the poor weather this year and a tough comparable from last year when revenue increased 9.9%.”

In Great Britain, both the retail and hospitality sectors drove revenue growth, signaling a robust recovery and consumer demand. The Brazilian market, buoyed by recent acquisitions such as Extra Power, contributed significantly to the overall growth, marking a 48.1% increase in revenue. However, other international revenues dipped, primarily due to declining sales in France.

Britvic continues to expand its global footprint, with a strong presence not only in Great Britain and Ireland but also in France and Brazil.

The company’s strategy includes growing its reach through franchising, export, and licensing, further solidifying its position as a key player in the international soft drink market.

Britvic’s strategic expansion and sustained investment in brand development are paying dividends, especially in high-growth markets like Brazil. Their ability to maintain growth momentum during challenging economic times highlights their adaptive strategies and strong market positioning.
