Profits were boosted by greater operating efficiency and lower non-cash foreign exchange losses from foreign currency denominated financial loans, the firm said today (11 May).

Group net sales for the quarter amounted to TRY445m, up by 1.3% on the prior year. International operations accounted for 20% of the total net sales in the first quarter.

Group sales volume increased by 8.6% for the period to reach 113m unit cases. Net sales per unit case however, declined by 6.7% to TRY3.95.

“I am very pleased to announce that CCI had a good start to the year,” said CEO Michael O’Neill. “Colder weather and the economic environment in the regions where we operate continue to present challenges. Even though the first quarter is our smallest reporting period, a good start to the year boosts our confidence and encourages optimism for the rest of the year.”
