Bimbo reported a 43.7% decline in operating profit from its US division, which incurred costs from the integration of businesses acquired from Sara Lee last year. Overall operating income fell 7.9% to MXN3.79bn.
An increase in debt pushed up interest costs, which also hit the bottom line.
However, the addition of the Sara Lee business in the US pushed up sales. Bimbo said its net sales increased 41.2% to MXN84.26bn.
