UNFI Specialty, formerly Millbrook Distribution Services, which the company acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, negatively impacted first-quarter operating income by approximately $1.6m, United Natural said.


The US distribution group said net sales increased 17.4% to $864.2m. Stripping out acquisitions, sales rose 10%, in the three months to 1 November.


“We’re quite pleased with our performance in the first quarter, which included delivering comparable sales growth of over 10% in spite of these difficult and uncertain economic conditions” said president and CEO Steven Spinner.
