Operating profit was down 3.4% to $59.5m in the period but sales climbed 8.2% to $857.6m.
Despite the drop in profits, the company said it continued to benefit from its acquisition of Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps last year, which it said posted “significant” year-over-year revenue and market share gains.
The company maintained its estimates for the full year of sales to be up 10% to 12% and EPS to increase between 22% and 32%, excluding special items.
