Premier Foods results

Premier Foods plc has reported that trading over May and June has continued in line with the trends seen in the first four months of 2009. Sales for the Grocery division continued to see growth driven by 2008 pricing actions with growth in market share supported by new product launches and strong promotional activity. Sales in the bread business continued to see sales and market share growth as the company continued to invest behind Hovis. Although sales of bulk flour were lower than last year due to the previously announced exit from a low margin flour contract, bulk flour profitability has been unaffected. The Chilled division continued to see good sales growth of both Quorn and retailer branded products although profitability has been reduced by the high level of marketing investment and increased manufacturing costs in the Meat free business.  Integration synergies remain on track.
