For the period ended 31 October, sales climbed 5.4% to GBP60.2m (US$96.6m).
Zetar’s confectionery division traded “strongly” during the period, due principally to good Christmas orders. However, the natural snacks division has had to contend with “ever increasing raw material costs”, which, despite customer price increases, the company said impacted margins in the period. Despite this, it expects margin recovery in the second half.
The group managed to reduce its net debt in the period by a further GBP26.6m.
