Coca-Cola earnings and revenue grow

Net revenue rose from $12.5 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was aided by strong concentrate sales and a favorable pricing mix.

Reported earnings per share increased from $0.86 a year earlier. Comparable earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, rose 11% to $0.91.

Operating income increased 12%. The higher operating margin means a larger share of revenue remained after operating expenses.

Volume growth and full-year outlook

Global unit case volume reached 5.25 billion, up from 5 billion a year earlier. India, China, Mexico and Brazil led the growth.

Chief Executive Henrique Braun said the quarterly results demonstrated the beverage system’s sustained momentum and gave the company confidence in its updated full-year guidance. The available information does not specify the guidance figures, so the outlook cannot be compared with the reported quarterly results.
