- Emerging markets segment volume increased by 3.5%, with strong growth in Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. Volumes were stable in Russia, while Nigeria declined following significant price increases
- FX-neutral revenue per case growth of 2.5% in the quarter, with continuing progress in all three segments
- Established markets FX-neutral revenue per case grew by 1.1%, supported by our continued focus on growing revenue faster than volume and the emergence of a more inflationary environment

- Emerging markets FX-neutral revenue per case grew by 4.2%, driven by price increases taken earlier in the year and improvements in category and package mix
