He said: “Food Group revenue increased by 9.6% in Q1, comprising 4.4% underlying growth and 6.7% acquisition-related growth. We have not seen any significant change in the trading environment since September and Q1 is broadly a continuation of Q4 trends.”
Aryzta said its Food Europe revenue was up 9.2% in the quarter to EUR316.2m, on the back of positive pricing to help offset higher raw material prices and weaker volumes. Underlying revenue climbed 1.2%.
Revenue for its Food North America sector reached EUR327.1m, up 9.1% on the period last year, on the back of price changes to recover higher material prices. Underlying revenue was up 6%. Its Food in the rest of world revenue grew 16.3% in the quarter to EUR49.3m. Underlying revenue grew by 14.7%.
