Kerry Group reported solid third-quarter results, with volume growth accelerating to 4.1% from 3.5% in the second quarter. Year-to-date EBITDA margin expanded by 50 basis points. Shares were trading up around 4% intraday.
Kerry’s large exposure to the foodservice channel, as well as local and regional food and beverage customers, translates into faster sales growth compared with some flavor and fragrance peers.
Kerry’s focus on expanding its integrated solutions offering through acquisitions may lead to expensive, value-destroying deals, especially in the case of larger acquisitions.
