New York: Soft drinks and snack maker PepsiCo says its fiscal third-quarter profit rose 9%, partly on cost-control efforts.

The maker of Pepsi cola and Frito-Lay snacks earned $1.72 billion, or $1.09 per share, in the three months ended 5 September. That’s up from the $1.58 billion, or 99 cents per share, a year ago.

Purchase, New York-based PepsiCo Inc., which also sells the Gatorade and Tropicana brands, says revenue slipped 1% to $11.08 billion.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters forecast profit of $1.03 per share on revenue of $11.25 billion.

Costs fell faster than revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses fell 8% to $3.65 billion.
