George Weston, Chief Executive of Associated British Foods, said:
"I am pleased to report growth of 6% in adjusted earnings per share. Significant progress was achieved in operating profit by Grocery, Agriculture, Ingredients and Primark, all of which substantially out-performed last year. Primark's trading success and significant expansion delivered another magnificent year. Much lower sugar prices in the EU held back the group's profit growth although, operationally, Sugar performed well."
Dividends per share up 6% to 34.0p
