The company’s third-quarter net profit was 333m pesos (US$33.5m), beating analysts’ average forecasts of 324m pesos.
Bimbo said that the fall in profit was due to higher costs to service debt taken on when the company acquired a US baker.
An 88.2% jump in US sales helped the company to achieve consolidated Q3 sales of 10.3bn pesos, up 18.5% from last year.
The revenue increase was due to the acquisition of Canadian baker George Weston’s US assets earlier this year.
