Net operating income dipped 1% to £6,478m from £6,557m a year earlier.British Sugar and Primark owner Associated British Foods saw adjusted earnings per share grow by 7.9% year on year at the interim stage, ahead of some brokers' expectations, but warned full year results will only be roughly on a par to last year. Group revenue rose 9% to £5,207m in the 24 weeks to 5 March, up from £4,976m in the corresponding period a year earlier and ahead of the £5.16bn predicted by broker Charles Stanley.Carpet and floor coverings retailer Carpetright warned underlying pre-tax profit for the year is expected to be slightly below the level of profits achieved in the 2009 as tough trading conditions continued in the fourth quarter.
