UBL Outlook

• "We continue to focus on revenue management and cost initiatives, to drive margin accretion with continued investments behind our brands and capabilities," it said; and

• UBL remains optimistic about the long-term growth potential of the beer category, driven by increasing disposable income, favorable demographics & premiumisation.
