Denmark’s AP Moller-Maersk says Q3 profit rises by 21 pct, raises full-year forecast
– canadianbusiness.com
COPENHAGEN – Denmark’s shipping and oil group A.P. Moller-Maersk says its profits rose by 21 per cent in the third quarter amid strong bottom-line results from its terminal, container shipping and drilling activities.
The Copenhagen-based group says net profit increased to 6.7 billion Danish kroner ($1.2 billion) from 5.6 billion kroner a year earlier and raised its earnings forecast for the full year to $3.5 billion from $3.3 billion.
Revenue dropped by 6 per cent to 82.1 billion kroner from 87.3 billion kroner, partly due to lower container freight rates and lower share of oil production.
It said most of its businesses performed well, except Maersk Oil which saw its profits fall due to a lower share of production from its fields.

Denmark’s Carlsberg says Q3 profits rise 3 per cent despite challenging market conditions
– canadianbusiness.com
COPENHAGEN – Denmark’s Carlsberg A/S says its stringent control of costs helped it modestly increase profit in the third quarter in spite of uncertain market conditions.
The Copenhagen-based brewer said Wednesday net profit during the quarter rose 3 per cent to 2.2 billion Danish kroner ($395 million) from 2.1 billion kroner from the same period the year before.
The rise came despite an equivalent fall in revenues to 18 billion kroner.
Carlsberg said more favourable weather in Western European markets helped its business. However, it said the trading environment remained challenging in Eastern Europe, especially Russia, which continued to be impacted by outlet closures and waning economic growth.
CEO Joergen Buhl Rasmussen said he was satisfied the group could deliver earnings growth considering the conditions and that Carlsberg maintains a solid market share.
