However, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell to EUR830,000 in the first six months of the year from EUR1.14m a year earlier due to increased raw material costs. The company said it did not provide net income for first-half results.

Commenting on the outlook for the rest of the year, CEO Klaus Lellé said: “For the full year we expect to not only meet our revenue plan, but also the income planning.”

Revenues are expected to rise by 8% to EUR65m, the company added.

The chocolate maker also confirmed the expected achievement of solid earnings before taxes last year.
