Ebro Foods has posted a jump in net sales for the year, although the Spain-based group’s bottom line inched up by less than 1%, lapping 2014 results that were boosted by the sale of its stake in olive oil Deoleo.

For the year, net profit was flat at 0.8% at EUR144.8m (US$159.6m) “owing to the extraordinary income generated in 2014 on the divestment in Deoleo”, said Ebro.

EBITDA grew 9.6% to EUR314.8m.

Sales were up 16.1% year on year to EUR2.5bn.
