“We continue to implement our long-term growth strategy, while increasing investments behind our priority brands and innovations and remaining very disciplined on costs and pricing,” said Alexandre Ricard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The company’s top key 14 brands posted a growth performance of 2%, the company says, driven by Jameson and The Glenlivet. Priority Premium Wines rebounded at +8%, due to improvement in the UK and Australia.

Local brands grew 5%, thanks to Indian whiskies and Passport.

“We are aiming for +1% to +3% organic growth in profit from recurring operations for fiscal year 2015/16,” Ricard said.
