EBITDA was relatively stable, edging up 0.7% to C$27.9m thanks to a “strong and growing market demand” for Clearwater’s products, partially offset by higher clam and shrimp harvest costs.
Sales were up 5% to C$163.7m.
CEO Ian Smith said: “Management is satisfied with the progress made in the second quarter and year-to-date periods and expects the company to hit its annual targets for 2013.”
Clearwater expects sales growth of 5% or greater and adjusted EBITDA margins of 18% or more.
