Aryzta CEO Owen Killian said economic conditions for consumers remain “very challenging”.

“Aryzta has responded by continuing to focus on operating efficiencies, cost management, innovation and cash flow generation, while working alongside its retail and foodservice partners to provide fresh and convenient, high quality baked goods at competitive prices,” Killian said.

“The operating environment is likely to remain difficult in many key markets. Aryzta’s business model is therefore focused on operational resilience, while remaining well positioned to benefit from any economic recovery.”
