0749 GMT - Heineken's third quarter was good enough despite sales coming in below forecasts, Citi analysts write in a research note. Net revenue before exceptional items and amortization grew 3.3% organically to 7.68 billion euros, below a 7.78-billion-euro forecast from a consensus provided by the Dutch brewer. However, the analysts note organic beer volume growth of 0.7% came in slightly ahead of consensus of 0.5%. Organic sales growth of 3.3% also beat consensus of 3.2% slightly, they say. Heineken shares trade 2.9% higher at 79.22 euros. (mauro.orru@wsj.com)
