The profit of Carlsberg increases

The revenue of the Carlsberg group increased by 8 percent to to 17.7 billion Danish kroner, the company’s net profit by 30 percent to 1.9 billion Danish kroner in the third quarter, compared to the same period of 2009

The East European region played a major role in the expansion. The Russian turnover also moved upwards, where the tax increase of January exerted its negative impact for a long time. But without the distorting effects,  revenue growth was only 2 percent and the profit improvement is under the expectations of analysts – reports Világgazdaság Online, after Bloomberg.
