摘要

Cadbury Schweppes has reported on its financial performance for the 24 weeks ended 19 Tune 2005. Confectionery sales grew by 7 percent on a like-for-like basis, up from 6 percent in 2004. There were good sales performances in most of Cadbury's markets, with growth in the company's largest confectionery brands: Cadbury Dairy Milk (+9%), Trident (+15%) and Halls (+17%). In the Americas, Halls sales were boosted by an exceptional cough and cold season in the United States, and gum markets continued to grow.
