Tipiak, the French food group, has stuck to its targets for earnings to grow 6% despite the company posting a first-half loss.
“Due to the structural seasonality of our business, the very major part of the earnings of the full year is achieved during the second half of the year,” CFO Jean-Joseph Schiehlé told just-food.
