The price of shares in soft drinks manufacturer A.G. Barr (LON:BAG) has fallen by 3.63% to 769p (as of 14:10 GMT) despite the firm reporting a 5% increase in revenues for the year ending 26th January. Management said that the effects of the soft drinks industry levy had been felt, with the increase in the value of sales outstripping the increase in volumes.
The company warned that further industry regulation could still be on the horizon and that consumer tastes as well as UK political and economic conditions are continuing to develop.
