    CARLSBERG A/S 09 ANNUAL REPORT The Carlsberg Group is one of the leading brewery groups in the world, with a large portfolio of beer and other beverage brands. The flagship brand – Carlsberg – is one of the best-known beer brands in the world. More than 43,000 people work for the Carlsberg Group, and our products are sold in more than 150 markets.

The global economy affected consumer behaviour negatively and overall beer market volumes declined. While the Asian markets were less affected by the crisis, the Northern & Western European and, in particular, the Eastern European markets were materially impacted. Although consumers reduced their consumption, they remained loyal to their favour- ite brands leading to a positive price/mix across many markets. This occurred despite the negative channel mix from on-trade to off-trade. Carlsberg was well prepared entering 2009. In late 2008 and early 2009 the Group implemented and accelerated numerous efficiency improvement ini- tiatives to protect earnings and improve cash flow and as a result was able to mitigate the impact from the declining markets.
