LONDON--Compass Group PLC (CPG.LN) on Wednesday reported organic revenue growth of 5.1% for the third quarter ended June 30, and maintained its positive revenue expectations for the full year.

For the first nine months as a whole, organic revenue growth was 5.5% with its North American business continuing to perform well. Together with accelerating growth in Europe and Japan, this offset a slowdown in other regions, the food-service and support services organization said.

"Looking to the longer term, we remain excited about the significant structural market opportunity globally and the potential for further revenue growth, margin improvement and continued returns to shareholders," it said.
