Both key metrics have consistently improved, showcasing 10-year CAGRs of 5 percent and 7 percent, respectively, and reached record levels for a third quarter excluding FX effects, underscoring our commitment to sustainable success. Moreover, we successfully completed two strategic acquisitions and our CAPEX investments reached record breaking levels so far. These milestones are a testament to the extraordinary dedication and resilience of our global teams, who have overcome challenges and consistently delivered outstanding results,» says Daniel Servitje, Chairman and CEO.
