Coca-Cola Co. beat earnings expectations for the second quarter, but revenues missed estimates.
The beverage giant’s adjusted earnings for the three months ending June came in at 42 cents per share, down -33.3% year-over-year and ahead of the Street consensus estimate of 40 cents per share.
However, revenue of $7.2 billion fell short of analysts' estimates of a $7.57 billion. The figure was also -28% lower from the same quarter last year.
The company cited " pressure in away-from-home channels, which represent approximately half of the company’s revenues" (and include clients such as sports stadiums and restaurants) as factors behind the revenue decline.
The company withdrew its full-year earnings guidance on April 21. It mentioned that "ongoing uncertainty" continues to be a challenge to the process of near-term profit forecast. But it said that currency headwinds of 'high single-digits' are expected to impact operating earnings, on U.S. dollar strength.
