Heineken sells more beer in first half 2015

They should be pleased. Heineken’s global volume was up 2 percent in the January to June 2015 period, compared to a 1.6 percent decline for AB-InBev and a 1 percent drop for SABMiller.

Heineken’s net profit rose to EUR 1.1 billion (USD 1.2 billion), compared with EUR 631 million in the year-earlier period, the Dutch brewer reported in early August 2015.

Total revenues amounted to EUR 10.9 billion, a rise of 2 percent on 2014 in terms of organic growth.

Sales were up in Asia, Africa and America but down in Europe, Heineken said.
