Heineken N.V. doubles organic net profit growth forecast for 2007

Prior to its 2007 interim results, to be released on 29 August, Heineken N.V. announced that it has raised its forecast for organic net profit growth for the full-year ending 31 December 2007.

Heineken now expects that organic net profit growth for the full-year will be in the range of 20-25 percent. The increase in the organic net profit growth forecast is being driven by strong volume growth in several regions of the world. Earlier this year Heineken announced that organic net profit growth in 2007 was expected to be in the range of 10-13 percent.
