Coca-Cola published its second quarter 2016 operating results

The Coca-Cola Company today reported second quarter 2016 operating results.

Muhtar Kent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Coca-Cola Company said, “Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, structural changes and foreign exchange headwinds which contributed to a 5% decline in reported revenues, we delivered 3% organic revenue growth, gained value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverages, expanded our operating margins and grew profits in line with our expectations. Strong performance in some of our largest and most developed markets, including the United States, Mexico and Japan, was offset by difficult external conditions in many of our emerging and developing markets, including China and Argentina.
