Varun Beverages Quarterly Profit Rises but Misses Consensus

By Kosaku Narioka

 

Varun Beverages reported a rise in second-quarter net profit, thanks to strong revenue growth.

The Indian soft-drink maker and PepsiCo franchisee said Tuesday that net profit rose 26% from a year earlier to 12.53 billion rupees, equivalent to $149.6 million, for the three months ended June.

The quarterly profit, however, missed the estimate of 12.67 billion rupees in a poll of analysts by FactSet.

Second-quarter revenue increased 29% to 73.34 billion rupees.
