Cranswick plc announced revenue results for the third quarter ended 31 December 2018. The company announced that revenue for the quarter was 2% lower compared to the equivalent 13-week period in the previous financial year. Strong growth in poultry and continental products was offset by lower sales from other, pork related, categories.

The Board's expectations for the Group's trading performance in the current year are unchanged.

The company provides earnings guidance for 2020. For the financial year, the Group's operating margin is likely to decline, reflecting the potentially challenging commercial landscape, together with start-up and commissioning costs associated with the new Eye Facility, only partly offset by management actions.
