Corrects to say food segment, not goods segment, in paragraph 1
Aug 14 (Reuters) - Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) TBEV.SI posted a 4% drop in its nine-month operating earnings on Thursday, weighed down by continued weakness in its spirits division, along with a dip in its non-alcoholic beverages and food segments.
ThaiBev, which brews the popular Chang beer, reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of 45.03 billion baht ($1.39 billion) for the nine months ending June 30, down from 46.88 billion baht the previous year.
($1 = 32.3300 baht)
