Its adjusted operating income rose 20 basis points, to 16.7%, while its adjusted earnings per share saw a boost of 9.6% on a constant currency basis, to $0.62.

“We had a good start to the year with improving top-line momentum and continued progress in margin expansion driven by strength in Europe and AMEA,” said Dirk Van de Put, chairman and CEO.

“We continue to see encouraging snacking category growth trends, especially in emerging markets.  We remain focused on executing our 2018 plan while making good progress developing our long-term strategic framework.”
