Coca-Cola recorded higher profit and sales in the second quarter, citing better concentrate sales, pricing and product mix.

Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted per-share earnings were 97 cents, ahead of the 93 cents anticipated by analysts, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose 7% to $13.4 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast revenue of $13.17 billion.

Sales growth was driven by a 4% increase in its sales of concentrate, which it sells to bottling partners. Price and mix increased 2%.
