The company said Covid-19 has impacted performance in the quarter, but strong growth in at-home consumption has offset the significant declines in out-of-home consumption.
Simon Litherland, chief executive, said: “We have continued to focus on the clear priorities we set to navigate through the pandemic, which have helped us to manage our business effectively and to deliver a third-quarter performance in line with our expectations.
“I am pleased with performance across the channels open to us, however in the near term there remains a high degree of uncertainty about the pace and level of full recovery. Looking further ahead, I am confident that the strong momentum we built up going into the year will return.”
