0841 GMT - Carlsberg's 20255 earnings came strong as the company's integration of Britvic advanced as planned, RBC Capital Market's James Edwardes Jones and Wassachon Udomsilpa write in a note. Carlsberg's Western Europe top-line growth was weaker than expected, with specific declining market growth in Poland, the analysts write. At the same time, its Central, Eastern Europe and India growth exceeded expectations, the analysts say. They noted particular growth for its soft drinks category in the fourth quarter, as Carlsberg began shipments of Pepsi to Kazakhstan during the quarter. Shares are up 1% at 892.20 kroner.
