Turnover jumped 39% to $610.5 as dairy sales rose 41% and sales of baby food leapt by over 50%.
Chief executive Tony Maher said the results had been achieved in “most challenging raw material cost environment”.
Maher added: “Despite a sharp rise in raw milk prices, we continued to improve our EBITDA margin to 13.5% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 12.7% in the second quarter of 2007.”
