WOOD Flash – Coca-Cola HBC: 1Q20 trading update – weaker pricing, but gradual recovery expected after April

This morning (7 May), Coca-Cola HBC (CCH) released its 1Q20 trading update. The revenues and volumes were in line with the market’s expectations, but the FX-neutral price/mix in the Developing and Emerging segment was weaker (-4.1% yoy), as the pricing action in Nigeria (a 2.2ppts impact) and the discontinuation of Lavazza (an 80bps impact) added to the general theme of an unfavourable channel and package/mix across geographies, due to COVID-19.
