Increased spending on advertisements and promotions also contributed to the momentum of the brand.
The company announced an increase in market share versus local competitors, and earnings growth stayed at double-digit levels ahead of revenue growth.
There was also sequential improvement in the international segment due to supply chain difficulties starting to ease up at the end of the quarter.
Management Outlook and Key Risks
