Q3 2016 growth in Wide Europe (WEUR) was in line with Group forecasts and was boosted by higher sales in Scandinavia. Q3 2016 growth in Southern Europe and Rest of World (especially Middle East) was marked down due to a Q3 2015 revenue surge of 10% and 13.5% respectively compared to prior year.

Year-to-date volumes were up 7.7% and currency and mix variances reduced revenues by 1.4% compared to 2015.

Outlook

Under its Serge Ferrari 2020 plan, the Group continues to review its strategic objectives, including market segmentation and ranking, while also analyzing resources required to achieve them (e.g. manufacturing capital expenditure, R&D investment, M&A, sales and marketing teams).

The Group will report a market results update together with its 2020 targets and objectives when it releases its 2016 results.
