Operating income fell to EUR651,000 from EUR1.7m. Profits were impacted by higher distribution costs in the period as well as lower sales.
Still reeling from the closure of the Russian market for dairy exports last August, sales for the cheese maker fell to EUR60.1m from EUR80.8m in the period.
The firm reported zero sales from Russia between January and September, compared with sales of EUR20,000 a year earlier. Sales in Europe were also lower over the nine-month period.
For the third quarter, operating income fell to EUR326,000 from EUR405,000 for the comparative period, again on lower sales.
