• Carlsberg reaffirmed its 2026 organic operating profit growth outlook of 4%-6% during its third-quarter earnings call.
• CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen, CFO Ulrica Fearn and Investor Relations Vice President Peter Kondrup attended the call with analysts.
• Organic revenue rose 3% in the quarter; China volumes fell almost 10%, reflecting weak demand, bad weather and destocking.
• Management expects higher production and logistics costs in 2027, with price increases and efficiencies intended to offset inflation.
• Leverage could approach the 2.5-times target by year-end 2026, assuming the Sapporo transaction closes; buybacks are unlikely at the full-year results announcement.
