The group said revenue in the year to 31 December was up 7% to reach EUR2.6bn, while adjusted EBITDA was up 6.7% to EUR60.9m.
The company said revenue increased in its fresh produce division by 8.3% to EUR2.52bn, which it attributed partially to the strength of the Swedish krona and sterling in the year, which led to “higher translation values of non-euro revenues”. On a constant currency basis, revenue in the division was up 5% due to a mix of volume and average price increases.
Commenting on the group’s outlook for 2011, chairman Carl McCann said: “The group is targeting 2011 adjusted earnings per share in the range of 6.5% to 7.5% per share. It has a strong financial position and continues to actively pursue acquisition opportunities”.
