CEO STATEMENT
Jean-Francois van Boxmeer, CEO, Chairman of the Executive Board, commented:
"We delivered strong results in the first half year, with all four regions contributing positively to
organic growth in volume, revenue and operating profit. Europe delivered a good performance,
momentum remained strong in Americas and Asia Pacific, and results improved in Africa Middle
East & Eastern Europe despite continued difficult market conditions. A well-balanced global
footprint, sustained investment in our beer and cider brands, market leading innovations and
a focus on premiumisation continue to differentiate our strategy and underpin our progress.
During the period we also completed the acquisitions of Brasil Kirin and Lagunitas. Whilst
economic conditions are likely to remain volatile, our expectations for the full year are
unchanged.''
