Beverages giant Britvic recently posted its earnings report for a year up-to September 27, and delighted investors and analysts by revealing a 23% rise in profits on the back of revived sales in the soft drinks market.

For the aforementioned period, the maker of popular drinks including J20, Pepsi, Robinsons Be Natural and Juicy Drench reported pre-tax underlying earnings of ?86.5 Million, which led to its brands gaining share rates. The company's British sales volumes of still and fizzy beverages saw a 3.6% and 7.9% rises, respectively.

"Recent conditions in the Great Britain soft drink market have shown some signs of improvement, although visibility in both Great Britain and Ireland beyond the short term remains limited and we take a cautious view of consumer spending. However, we are encouraged by our strong group performance in the early weeks of the new financial year", said Chief Executive Paul Moody.

In addition to a renewed customer demand, the firm also has new launches to thank for its success. It is interesting to note that even during tough times, the drinks maker raised its prices, which might have contributed to the profitable figures. For the coming year, Britvic has some interesting updates and launches up its sleeves.
