Sales were up 1.8% at EUR623.1m. At constant exchange rates, sales increased 3.1%.
“We have realised a sales increase in stable markets and a strong increase in REBITDA and margin. This was largely achieved by an improvement of the operational results, thanks to a clear focus on operational excellence and customer management. The efficiency improvements are important to help offset the cost inflation,” Greenyard CEO Marleen Vaesen said.
Greenyard filed results from continuing operations to take account for the sale of its Lutosa potato business to McCain Foods last year.
From continuing operations, Greenyard made a net loss of EUR3.5m, thanks to a jump in its tax expenses. It made a pre-tax profit of EUR4m, up from EUR695,000 a year earlier.
