Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd. (CCL.AU) Wednesday maintained its earnings guidance for high single-digit net profit growth in the second half as revenue and volume growth continued into the third quarter.
The beverage company also expects high single-digit growth in earnings before interest and tax in the second half ending Dec. 31, assuming summer trading conditions in Australia and New Zealand are "normal", it said in a statement.
The summer months of November and December account for around 20% of Coca-Cola Amatil's trading revenue.
