Adjusted earnings were $1 per share, while analysts had predicted 92 cents per share. Total revenue increased by 0.8% to 6 billion 690 million dollars. Experts had expected the figure at 6 billion 580 million dollars. The reason for the decline in profit was the weak performance in North America. Sales in the US fell by 1.9%.
