Coca-Cola HBC revenue tanks 37% in April with most markets in lockdown

In the three months ended 27 March, group revenue dipped 1% as many countries had not imposed restrictions yet

Coca-Cola HBC AG (LON:CCH) said group revenue tanked 37% in April as 25 of its 28 markets were in lockdown.

The fizzy drinks bottler continues to operate following safety guidelines and has been cutting costs, halving marketing spend as well as slashing capital expenditure by €100mln.
