Molson Coors recently released its first-quarter financial results for 2024, noting substantial growth in key areas. The company's net sales jumped by 10.7% to reach $2.596 billion, bolstered by increased financial volumes, favorable pricing, and positive currency impacts, as reported on their official site. Meanwhile, net income soared to $207.8 million, a striking 186.6% increase from the same period last year, according to Businesswire.
In further developments, Molson Coors saw its underlying net income rise by 74.4% to $202.8 million, attributed to improved operational performance. The company also reported a growth in brand volumes by 4.4%, with notable strength in the Americas, where volumes increased by 5.3%, particularly in the U.S., as detailed by the company. However, the cost of goods sold grew by 3.6% due to higher volumes and currency effects, and marketing, general, and administrative expenses saw a 6.4% rise because of increased marketing investments.
Looking forward, Molson Coors has maintained its outlook for 2024, expecting low single-digit growth in net sales and mid single-digit increases in underlying income and earnings per share. This underlines the company's confidence in continuing its positive momentum through the remainder of the year.
