On October 29, 2026, we reported our third quarter 2026 results.
“We delivered strong third-quarter results, driven by broad based volume growth and robust share performance. We continue to see top- and bottom-line growth momentum across both developed and emerging markets, while significantly reinvesting in our brands, innovation, and distribution,” said Dirk Van de Put, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are resolute in delivering volume-led, compounding earnings growth that creates value for shareholders. We remain confident that our attractive categories, iconic brands, advantaged geographic footprint, and consumer-centric capabilities will sustain our performance for years to come.
Additionally, we are delighted to announce our recent agreement to acquire Undercover Snacks, a delicious, crunchy quinoa crisp line that highlights our continued expansion in the high-growth permissible indulgence segment. With chocolate and frosted varieties containing simple ingredients, Undercover Snacks is rapidly earning strong consumer preference and has a clear runway to expand household penetration and distribution.”
