Operating profit for the period rose by 15.3% to reach $8.4m.


Sales however, fell, dropping 9% to $98.7m, hurt by weak European currencies as well as a trend of inventory reduction among Frutarom customers.

We consider the challenging and complex period which global economics undergoes as an opportunity for further strengthening.”
