Earnings were hit by restructuring and rationalisation costs, LIFO charges and expenses linked to the group being named the stalking horse bidder for US bakery Allens.
Increased expenses more than offset sales gains in the year. Net sales increased 5%, to $1.34bn. The company said sales mix and volume gains contributed.
