Costs linked to Goodman Fielder’s revamp and losses on currency hit the company’s bottom line, although its operating profit also fell.
Goodman Fielder reported a 36.6% drop in EBIT to A$114.3m, pointing to low consumer confidence, heavy discounting and a “resurgence” in own label in Australia.
“While the result is disappointing, normalised EBITDA is in line with the market’s expectations for the half,” CEO Chris Delaney said. EBITDA was down 30% at A$148.1m.
Revenue was down 3.7% at A$1.3bn.
