Kellogg today (30 July) upped its earnings target after posting “better-than-expected” second-quarter results.
Currency fluctuation weighed on the figures filed by the US-based cereal giant but CEO Dave Mackay insisted the numbers represented a “continuing strong performance”.
Operating profit climbed 4% to US$553m, although when foreign exchange is excluded from the results, growth was higher at 14%.
Net sales fell 3% to US$3.2bn due to the strong dollar, although underlying sales were up 3%.
Kellogg raised its earnings per share guidance to growth of 8-10% on a constant-currency basis.
