July 4 (Reuters) - Shares in Pluxee dropped more than 9% on Thursday after the French meal voucher company reported weaker than expected third-quarter sales in Europe on Wednesday, overshadowing its second outlook hike of the year.

The shares were on track for their biggest single-day drop since their listing in February, when Pluxee was spun off from Sodexo.

Its quarterly revenue of 297 million euros ($320.4 million) was below a company-provided consensus of 303 million euros, cited by Deutsche Bank in a research note. Revenue in Europe was 123 million euros, versus a consensus of 131 million euros.

Estelle Weingrod, an analyst at J.P.Morgan, also pointed to the effect from a discontinued public contract in Chile as a reason for the revenue miss.

The group's organic revenue growth of 17.9% was driven by a more than 16% increase in Latin America and a more than 42% jump in the rest of the world outside Europe, while Europe saw moderate growth of 8.1%, it said.

Pluxee forecast full-year organic revenue growth of about 18%, compared with the previous guidance of 15-17%, last raised in April. ($1 = 0.9269 euros) (Reporting by Michal Aleksandrowicz and Alban Kacher in Gdansk; Editing by Milla Nissi)
