George Weston food division results hit by FX, restructuring
Canada-based George Weston’s food products division reported lower full-year sales and profits due to the impact from foreign-exchange affects and restructuring charges in the fourth quarter.
Go deeper with GlobalData
– Weston Foods’ sales fall 1.1% to US$2.24bn in year to 31 December
– Operating income drops 47.4% to $91m
– Adjusted EBITDA declines 13.5% to $256m
See Also:
Looking forward to 2018, both Weston Foods sales and EBITDA are expected to be flat from 2017, with growth in volumes likely to be offset by product rationalisation. While EBITDA is expected to see improvements related to the company’s “transformation” programme and productivity drive, it expects to face headwinds from higher input and distribution costs due to inflation.

It said: “It was still not possible to grow the Swiss business during the past year. Excluding the effects of the Culinor Food Group acquisition and exchange-rate movements, group revenues in 2017 declined by 2.4% from the previous year.

As expected this trend has continued into 2018 and is likely to remain until inflation eases. Later in the year, we expect our volume growth to benefit from improved market conditions and new business.
“Despite these industry-wide challenges, we are confident that our scale, track record of innovation and focus on operational efficiencies ensures we are well placed to deliver ongoing profitable growth, both from existing business and our long-term investment strategy.”

“Unfortunately, the positive financial benefits of these efforts have been masked by on-going challenges in our frozen fruit platform, which did not turn around as quickly as expected in 2017.

costs which we have brought to book, we are particularly disappointed with the poor margins across the commodity and bulk segments.
“However, the growth potential for MRG as a leading Australian producer, packer and seller of organic, natural and ‘better-for-you’ food products is
evident. A turnaround plan, which in the first instance focuses on improving processes and systems across the supply chain, will assist in realising the embedded value of our company and its high-quality asset base.”

Chief executive officer Ralph Scozzafava said: “In 2017, we navigated a rapidly-changing industry landscape and a dynamic retail environment. As we saw the marketplace challenges on volume and mix building, we directed our focus on improving our execution in securing branded and private label volume and immediately began taking steps to lower our overall cost base.
“Some of these actions are already gaining momentum and contributed to our fourth quarter 2017 financial results. These actions become a critical path in our go-forward commercial agenda as well as an aggressive enterprise-wide cost productivity program in 2018 and beyond.
“We are making important choices in 2018 and taking aggressive but necessary steps to drive our strategic plan, reset our company to make Dean Foods more competitive, and enable us to deliver solid and consistent earnings and cash flow over the long term.
