Outlook
Despite continued market volatility, we remain on track to perform in line with the current range of market expectations for full year FY21.
Jonathan Myers, Chief Executive Officer, commented "Our third quarter results maintained the renewed momentum of our business despite the quarter ending with the anniversary of the start of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The encouraging growth was broad-based, with all Regions delivering top and bottom-line growth, enabling the Group to deliver operating margins ahead of Q3 last year, while continuing to increase investment behind our Must Win Brands and new strategic capabilities. In the final quarter of this current financial year, as some of our brands come up against strong levels of demand in the base period, we intend to continue increasing investment behind building our brands and capabilities, to maintain momentum as we move to more normal comparatives.
Looking ahead, we will continue to proactively navigate the volatility of the pandemic, the competitive landscape and commodity cost headwinds, but at the same time remain focused on executing the initial phase of our new strategy - Building Brands for Life, Today and for Future Generations.
We continue to take the appropriate steps to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our employees during the pandemic, and to ensure our supply chain remains resilient and fully operational. I'd like to thank our employees in all our markets for their continued dedication to PZ Cussons and our consumers."

In light of the impact of COVID-19 on reporting and audit procedures, and further to the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) policy statement issued on 27 January 2021, the Group confirms it intends to report preliminary results for the year to 31 May, in September. The Group also intends to issue a pre-close trading statement, as soon after the year end as is practical.
