The business, which manufactures products ranging from patisserie to croutons, posted an operating loss of EUR1.7m, compared to an operating loss of EUR1.1m in the first half of last year.
Tipiak had already reported its first-half sales last month. The company posted an improvement, with growth in both the first and second quarters but the company saw its top-line expansion decelerate in the second quarter.
The company noted the “strong seasonality” of its operations meant “most of its results” are achieved in the second half of the year.
