Director dealings: Treatt chairman lowers stake

(Sharecast News) - Treatt revealed on Friday that chairman Timothy Jones had disposed of 35,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed chemicals firm.
Jones, who took over as chairman back in 2012, sold the shares on Thursday at an average price of 539.05p each, for a total value of £188,667.50.

Earlier in May, Treatt hiked its interim dividend and said it had felt no ill-effect from the Covid-19 crisis as the ingredients supplier reported a 2% decline in first-half profit.

Pre-tax profit for the six months to the end of March fell to £6.1m from £6.2m as revenue dropped 5.3% to £53.6m but Treatt increased its half-year dividend by 8.2% to 1.84p a share.

Revenue and profit fell because of sharp declines in citrus prices the year before, said the group.

As of 1625 BST, Treatt shares were down 0.73% at 544p.
