Page 1 of 6 HIGHLIGHTS Reported net revenue of DKK 16.7bn, an organic decline of 1% (9M: DKK 48.4bn, +1% organically). Price/mix of 3% (9M: +4%). Total volume -4% (9M: -3%). Good growth in our international premium brands: Tuborg +5%, Carlsberg +1%, Grimbergen +7% and 1664 Blanc +42%. Craft & speciality volume +34%, alcohol-free beer volume in Western Europe +14%. Funding the Journey progressing well and total net benefits now expected to be around DKK 2bn. 2017 EARNINGS EXPECTATION Organic operating profit growth of 7-8% (previously mid-single-digit percentage growth). Financial leverage reduction. Positive translation impact of around DKK 75m now expected (previously DKK +50m). Commenting on the results, CEO Cees t Hart says: Funding the Journey is progressing very well and we feel confident about delivering benefits of around DKK 2bn. Consequently, we re able to adjust our earnings outlook upwards. In the third quarter, our premiumisation efforts continued to deliver a solid price/mix development, while volumes, as expected, were impacted by the PET downsizing in Russia, tough comparables in Eastern Europe and poor weather in Western Europe. Carlsberg will host a conference call for analysts and investors today at 9.00 am CET (8.00 am GMT). Dial-in information and slide deck are available beforehand on.

Page 2 of 6 THIRD QUARTER REVIEW The Group delivered a solid 3% price/mix (9m: +4%), while organic net revenue declined by 1% (9M: +1%) due to an organic volume decline of -4% (9M: -3%). The volume decline was impacted by the PET downsizing in Russia, difficult comparables in Eastern Europe and poor weather in Western Europe. In reported terms, total volumes declined by 6%, impacted by disposals of Carlsberg Malawi and Chinese breweries in 2016, and of Nordic Getränke in 2017. Reported net revenue was DKK 16.7bn (-5%), impacted by -3% from divestments and a currency impact of -1%. Tuborg volumes grew by 5%, with strong growth achieved in China in addition to continued positive results from the launch last year in Vietnam and Laos. The Carlsberg brand grew by 1%, reflecting positive growth rates in markets such as Poland, China and export markets, offset by a difficult market situation in India and decline of Carlsberg green label in the UK. Grimbergen and 1664 Blanc delivered volume growth of 7% and 42% respectively as a result of our focus on craft & speciality. In total, craft & speciality grew by 34% for the quarter. Our alcohol-free brews are gaining momentum and delivered 14% volume growth in Western Europe. Western Europe Our Western European business was impacted by the poor weather during the summer. Net revenue declined organically by 4% (9M: flat) as a result of a flat price/mix (9M: +1%) and a total organic volume decline of 4% (9M: -1%). Reported net revenue declined by 8% due to -3% from net acquisitions and -1% from currencies. Markets such as Bulgaria, Serbia and Italy achieved positive volume growth, while most other markets saw declining volumes due to the poor weather, which negatively impacted market development. Market share development for the region was largely unchanged compared with last year. In most markets, price/mix was flat or positive. The flat regional price/mix was mainly due to negative country mix. Eastern Europe Net revenue in Eastern Europe declined organically by 2% (9M: -1%). The very positive price/mix development continued and we delivered +10% (9M: +9%). Total volumes declined by 10% (9M: -9%). Reported net revenue declined by 1% (9M: +9%), as the currency impacted moderated compared with the very positive impact during H1. Our volumes grew in Kazakhstan and Belarus, were flat in Ukraine and declined in Russia. The Russian market declined as a result of the PET restrictions, and we lost market share due to the continued price leadership of our products in the PET segment following our value-based approach to the PET downsizing. During the quarter, our market share started to strengthen. Brands such as Zatecky Gus and Baltika 3 achieved high-single-digit growth rates. The strong price/mix for the quarter was the result of price increases, the effect of the introduction of smaller pack sizes in Russia following the PET restrictions, and market share loss in the lower-priced PET segment in Russia. Asia The positive development in Asia continued. Net revenue grew organically by 7% (9M: +6%) as a result of a continued solid 5% price/mix (9M: +5%) and 2% total organic volume growth (9M: +1%). Reported

Page 3 of 6 net revenue declined by 1% (9M: flat), negatively impacted by currencies and by last year s divestments, notably of Carlsberg Malawi in August 2016 and a number of breweries in China. Our businesses in China, Malaysia, Nepal and Myanmar delivered solid volume growth. The Chinese growth of 6% was supported by sustained strong performance of our premium portfolio, including Tuborg, Carlsberg and 1664 Blanc. Our Indian volumes declined slightly, mainly due to the disruption caused by the so-called highway ban. The solid price/mix improvement was mainly the result of our successful premiumisation efforts as we continue to distribute our international premium brands more widely. Structural changes During 2017, the Group has continued the streamlining of its portfolio of businesses, concluding the following transactions: Disposal of our 100% shareholding in Carlsberg Uzbekistan. Disposal of our 23% shareholding in United Romanian Breweries. Disposal of our 30% shareholding in Russian malt producer MSSP. Disposal of our 100% shareholding in the German wholesale business Nordic Getränke. Refinancing On 30 August, we placed 6-year EUR notes for a principal amount of EUR 500m with a coupon of 0.5%. The proceeds of the offering are being used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the EUR 1bn bond on 13 October 2017. EARNINGS EXPECTATIONS Funding the Journey is progressing well and is now expected to deliver around DKK 2bn in net benefits. In addition, as we see faster delivery of the benefits than previously expected, we are adjusting the fullyear earnings expectations upwards: 7-8% organic growth in operating profit (previously mid-single-digit percentage organic). Financial leverage reduction. Based on the spot rates as of 31 October, we now expect a positive translation impact of around DKK 75m, compared to our previous expectation of DKK 50m. All other assumptions are unchanged.
