Fyffes lifts full year view

Thu, 05th Sep 2013 07:32

Tropical fruit importer and distributor Fyffes boosted its full year targets after it revealed an improved set of half year earnings.The Dublin headquartered group, which import tropical produce from operations in Central and South America, the US and Europe, said first half total revenue, including its share of its joint ventures, rose to €585.4m, up 6.4% from the same half a year earlier. Adjusted pre-tax profit rose 1.1% up on the same period last year to €22.2m despite difficult trading conditions in its banana category and unfavourable exchange rates. Higher fruit costs also hampered progress however Fyffes said its pineapple and US melon business remained satisfactory. Chairman David McCann said: "Trading conditions have remained positive in the early months of the second half. Fyffes continues to pursue necessary increases in selling prices in all markets to offset the impact of higher fruit costs and less favourable exchange rates, particularly the Sterling / US Dollar currency pair." Fyffes is increasing its target EBITA range for the full year 2013 from €27m-€33m to €29m-€34m, compared to €30.5m in 2012.CJ
