The company posted net profit of CHF83.6m (US$66.3m) for the six months to 28 February, compared to CHF75.9m in the year-ago period, reported Dow Jones News.


The company, which is the world’s largest industrial chocolate maker by sales and market share, said the result was helped by restructuring benefits following a series of acquisitions over the last few years.
