Coca-Cola's global revenue has recovered in the three months to the end of June, helped by the base-effect of a poor second quarter during the pandemic last year.

The figures, however, don't yet reflect the impact of the company's revamp of its branding for Diet Coke. Organic revenue - which doesn't include the contributions from recent acquisitions - grew 37 per cent year-on-year in the three months through June, Coca-Cola said. That comprised 26 per cent expansion in concentrate sales and 11 per cent rise attributable to price/mix. Net profit was up 48 per cent to US$2.64 billion. First-half sales climbed 20 per cent.
