COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lancaster Colony Corporation (Nasdaq: LANC) today reported results for the company's third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017. Highlights for the quarter are as follows:
For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, net sales increased to $912.0 million compared to $906.6 million a year ago. Including the costs resulting from the company's withdrawal from the underfunded multiemployer pension plan, net income for the nine-month period totaled $86.8 million, or $3.16 per diluted share versus the prior-year amount of $91.1 million, or $3.32 per diluted share.
Chairman and CEO John B. Gerlach, Jr. commented, "We were encouraged by the sales growth in the foodservice channel and the positive contributions from select areas within retail as well. Looking forward to the final quarter of our fiscal year, commodity costs are expected to swing slightly unfavorable from a generally flat third quarter. We also foresee a diminishing level of deflationary pricing in the foodservice channel and anticipate retail sales volumes to benefit modestly from this year's later Easter holiday."
Conference Call on the Web
The company's third quarter conference call is scheduled for this morning, April 27, at 10:00 a.m. ET. You may access a live webcast of the call via the link on the company's Internet home page at www.lancastercolony.com. A replay of the webcast will also be made available on the company website.
