Ralcorp, which makes store-branded goods, reported net earnings for the fiscal second quarter to 31 March of US$16.8m, up from $14.6m in the year-ago period, reported Reuters.


Sales for the quarter were $314.4m, compared with $313.5m in the same quarter of the previous year.


The St Louis-based company said its combined segment profit contribution over the fiscal third quarter was likely to drop by around 20-30% over the year-ago period.


Ralcorp also said that ingredient price increases and potential costs from a product recall were likely to impact third-quarter performance.
