First-half EBIT stood at EUR82.3m, compared to EUR70.1m in the first six months of 2013/14.

LDC, which reported its first-half sales last month, said the results of its three divisions were “in line with targets”.

The company saw EBIT from its international operations fall, which it put down to the integration of Polish group Drop, a business it moved for last November.
