Net sales increased 14% to $887.2m. Sanfilippo pointed to higher selling prices driven by increased commodity acquisition costs.

During the fourth quarter, net income improved to $8.5m from $6.6m and operating income grew to $13.7m from $12.1m.

Sales, again as a result of higher selling prices, increased 9.3% to $221.4m. Sanfilippo said sales volume was “relatively unchanged” during the quarterly comparison.

The quarter saw “record results” from the Fisher recipe nuts and Orchard Valley Harvest brands, CEO Jeffrey Sanfilippo said. Fisher benefited from larger pack sizes and Orchard Valley Harvest from distribution gains with new customers.
