On Aug. 22, Smucker
- Revenues were up 23.5% over the same period last year, helped again by the extra sales contributed from its International Multifoods acquisition -- but at a cost.
- Margins declined across the board, again like last year, contributing to an 8.8% decline in profits.
- The diluted share count rose 8.1%, largely because equity was issued to acquire International Multifoods. This further hurt year-on-year profits comparables.
