Lifeway said yesterday (13 August) that second-quarter net income reached US$2.5m in the three months to June – compared to $911,718 a year earlier.


Revenues rose 26% to $14.5m, while a fall in the cost of conventional milk also helped boost Lifeway’s bottom line.


“From top to bottom this was our best quarter in our company’s history,” CFO Edward Smolyansky said.
