Specialty Foods Group Income Fund, which holds an indirect stake in SFG, booked underlying operating income of C$5.7m (US$5m) for the three months to 28 March – compared to C$3.5m a year earlier.
Underlying EBITDA reached C$7.4m, against C$4.9m a year ago.
“This increase was due to both a C$0.08 per pound increase in average selling price, and an increase in sales volume of 0.9m pounds compared with the first quarter of 2008,” the fund said.
Net income, however, stood at C$2m in comparison to C$11.6m when the fund benefited from income from subsequently discontinued operations.
