The company also upgraded guidance for its EBITDA margin target to 17 to 20% from 15 to 20%. 

“Early results in FY18 have been positive and consequently Bellamy’s is upgrading its FY18 guidance,” it said.

This guidance excludes its Camperdown business which is still expected to generate an EBITDA loss of between AUD$1m (US$780,000) and AUD$2m.

Bellamy’s said it sees “positive momentum” in its core business but noted challenges ahead for its turnround plan, including registration with the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA).
