Lower distribution and financing costs boosted Goodman Fielder’s bottom line. Revenues were down 7.5% to A$1.37bn due to foreign exchange and commodity costs. Sales from continuing operations were down 5.9% at A$1.24bn.
In a presentation to analysts, Goodman Fielder said it had seen a “significant improvement” from its operations in Asia-Pacific, as well as its bakery and dairy businesses.
