Danone SA's third-quarter sales were boosted by the appreciation
of the Chinese renminbi, the Mexican peso and the British pound
against the euro, while the U.S. dollar and other emerging
currencies remained stable.
The French food company said quarterly sales of 6.16 billion
euros ($7.14 billion) benefited from the positive impact of an
exchange rate of 0.8%. Sales were up 3.8% organically on year,
driven by 4.6% in value and 0.8% in volume.
On a reported basis, sales increased 5.8% in the quarter, also
profiting from a 0.7% organic contribution of hyperinflation
geographies to growth and a 0.3% positive scope effect that
resulted from the disposal of the Vega brand and integration of
coconut water brand Harmless Harvest and plant-based Follow Your
Heart.
