“Our plan to drive quality growth is on track,” said president and CEO Douglas R Conant. “This quarter, although our ready-to-serve soup sales were significantly weaker due to a change in our pricing and promotional activity from a year ago, we continued to improve our profit margin while laying the foundation for driving top-line growth for the balance of the year, consistent with our goal.
