Post by Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages

Today we announced our Q1 sales update. We delivered 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡, with strong performance across multiple countries and channels, supported by continued investment in our portfolio of iconic brands. We saw 3.3% growth in the first three months of 2026, driven by both the core Waters segment and the Premium Beverages ranges, with Premium Beverages achieving double-digit growth again. This success is thanks to a strong end-to-end model across functions, markets and business units, with expert teams working together to protect water sources, elevate execution in operations, supply chains and sales, and bring exciting innovations and marketing campaigns to consumers. Here are some highlights. • We continue to innovate to meet evolving consumer tastes and occasions, and embrace the opportunities in the attractive premium, better4you beverages category. In the US, we expanded the Sanpellegrino CIAO! line-up with a new Limoncello flavour and launched Maison Perrier French Kiss, the brand’s first sweetened sparkling water with added prebiotics. Other new innovations include Nestlé Pure Life Soda Plus in Thailand and the Inspired by Buxton Peak range of flavoured waters in the UK. • We scaled our brands, bringing the Maison Perrier portfolio of flavoured sparkling beverages, sophisticated mocktails and unflavoured sparkling water to the UK, following successful launches in 80+ markets. Sanpellegrino CIAO! was rolled out in France, building on the US launch last year. • We continued to invest in standout brand campaigns designed to build demand and strengthen consumer connections. We launched the latest edition of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy competition and brought the Maison Perrier Sober Chic campaign to more countries and amplified the inaugural Maison Perrier Art Prize. Local brands drove engagement with consumers too; La Vie helped to celebrate the Lunar New Year (Tết) in Vietnam, and Buxton’s ongoing UK campaign championed wellbeing in collaboration with mental health charity Mind. In the US, Essentia evolved its ‘Change the Equation’ campaign promoting resilience and personal achievement. • We announced that we are the first food or beverage company worldwide to secure 100% certification of all our 39 bottling sites to the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard, and remain committed to maintaining this going forward. This is complemented by our 70 water regeneration projects implemented with local communities and partners, with the ambition to protect, restore and return more water than we use in our operations. Our teams are now moving into peak season, and delivery continues at pace. We have a pipeline of exciting launches and campaigns ahead, including the first activations of S.Pellegrino’s partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP. By continuing to focus on our strategic priorities, we’ve established a solid foundation for the coming months and beyond.
