“The earnings increase in the current year was primarily due to the 2011 credit agreement refinancing-related costs of approximately $8.1m, the resulting reduction in interest expense,” the group said in a statement yesterday (14 May).
Earnings were also boosted by a “better alignment” of pricing with input costs, the group said.
EBITDA for the quarter stood at $61.8m, compared to $56.4m in 2011, an increase of 9.6%.
Net sales for the quarter were up 6.6% to $444.8m, compared to $417.1m last year.
