• Increased market share in Australia to 8% by value in grocery

• New UK business structure in place and positive sales trends

New arrangements to accelerate development of the business in the United Kingdom were progressed with acquisition of the UK joint venture completed on 1 January 2014. A plan to enter the North American fresh milk market is progressing.

Managing Director Geoffrey Babidge said “the continuing strong performance of the Australian business together with the momentum building around our priority initiatives in the United Kingdom and infant formula were the highlights of the first half. Our confidence in the development of the Group over recent times has enabled the Company to advance North America as the next priority growth initiative. ”
