The Coca-Cola Co. earlier this week said its third-quarter revenue rose mostly due to higher prices.

The Atlanta beverage giant said its organic revenue rose 6 percent to $12.41 billion in the July-September period.

That was in line with what Wall Street expected, according to analysts polled by FactSet.

Coke said its unit case volumes were up 1 percent worldwide. Case volumes were flat in North America and Latin America and down 1 percent in Asia, but they rose 4 percent in the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

The company said it raised prices 6 percent during the quarter.

Coca-Cola Zero Sugar was a standout in the third quarter, with unit case volumes up 14 percent globally, while Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Light sales grew 2 percent.

Case volumes for water, sports drinks, coffee and tea rose 3 percent, while dairy and juice volumes fell 3 percent.

The company’s net income jumped 30 percent to $3.69 billion. Adjusted for one-time items, Coke earned 82 cents per share.

That was also higher than the 78 cents analysts forecast.

Coca-Cola also said it is refranchising its bottling operations in Africa. Coke and Gutsche Family Investments, a private South African company, have agreed to sell a 75 percent controlling interested in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa to Coca-Cola HBC AG, a major bottler for the company based in Switzerland. The deal is worth $2.55 billion.
