The Philadelphia-based firm booked rising sales and gross profits for the three months to 29 September.


However, the pies-to-cookies maker saw margins and net income fall due to the depreciation in the company’s assets as it plans to move to a newly constructed bakery and a “green” corporate headquarters.


Gross profits were up almost 25% to $3.6m, Tasty Baking said. Sales rose 2.9% to $42.5m.


“During the third quarter we delivered healthy net sales and EBITDA growth in the face of significant commodity cost pressures,” said president and CEO Charles Pizzi.
