Oct 22 (Reuters) - Consumer goods company Reckitt

beat third-quarter like-for-like net sales growth

expectations on Wednesday, helped by strength in emerging

markets and return to growth in Europe and North America, while

also maintaining its outlook for 2025.

The maker of Durex condoms and Lysol cleaning products

reported total group like-for-like net revenue growth of 7% for

the quarter, compared with 6.4% expected in a company-compiled

consensus.
