However, CEO David Wenner said he expected added expenses “due to our rapid growth over the past year”. The firm has cut its adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2014 by 2.4% to a range of US$204m to US$209m.
In the second quarter of the year, B&G reported net profit grew to US$16.1m compared with a loss for the same period a year earlier, which came from charges related to debt, refinancing and acquisition costs.
Operating income was also up for the second quarter to US$25.2m from US$17.3m. Sales grew 26.1% to US$202.9m.
