Coronavirus Update

  • Group Management is vigilantly managing the event and continues to assess and manage the risks on an ongoing basis in all countries of operations, as this event continues to evolve.
  • At the date of this report and throughout the quarter in general, the Group's manufacturing facilities have continued to operate. The Group continues to operate closelywith its suppliers and customers to ensure that the supply chain is able to meet demand.
  • During the quarter the Group continued to invest in developing its brands and to strengthen its partnerships, while exploring various business opportunities and making advanced preparations for various challenges that may lie ahead.
  • Consumer behavior – Elevated at home consumption of food and beverages continued during Q3 2021 in some categories and a continued improvement is noted in the away-from-home (AFH) segment as social distancing measures are lifted in some geographies. Vaccinations in some geographies are more wide spread than in others, however, the spread of the Delta strain in some geographies is on the rise.
  • Geographies – Slightly slower sales growth than in Q2 as economy stays open but due to high holiday timing as well. In the US, sales continue to come under pressure due to supply chain constraints; in Brazil, most Eastern European countries and China sales increased in local currencies in comparison to Q3 2020 as economies continue to return to pre-Covid paterns.
  • Product categories – Growth in demand for the Group's products was evident mainly in dairy, coffee and water. Global dips and spreads still suffering from supply chain headwinds.
  • Sales channels – Group's sales to the retail chainswere up aswere AFH sales as economies reopened across the world.
