Statutaire naam Heineken N.V.
Titel Heineken N.V. reports solid operating performance for the first half 2011
Bericht Amsterdam, 24 August 2011 - Heineken N.V. today announced: - Organic growth in group beer volume of 4.2% with higher volume across all regions. Volume of the Heineken® brand in the premium segment increased 4.7%, led by growth in Asia Pacific and Western Europe; - On an organic basis, revenue grew 3.3%, driven by a positive volume effect of 2.2% and increased price and sales mix of 1.1%; - Organically, EBIT (beia) grew 3.9%, as an increase in revenues, cost savings and higher profit from joint ventures was partially offset by planned higher marketing investment and increased input costs; - Net profit (beia) of €694 million (+5.7% organic growth), reflecting higher EBIT (beia) and lower interest expenses, partly offset by higher taxation expense. Reported net profit declined 14%, primarily reflecting a significant exceptional gain last year; - Total Cost Management (TCM) programme delivered €82 million of pre-tax savings in the first half 2011; - Strong free operating cash flow generation of €779 million, resulting in an improved net debt/EBITDA (beia) ratio of 2.1x; - Interim dividend of €0.30 per share, an increase of 15% compared with last year's interim dividend.
