Strauss Group Announces a Strong Third Quarter With 5.8% Organic Sales Growth and NIS 213 Million Non-GAAP EBIT, an 11.2% Growth Rate.

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gadi Lesin, President and CEO of Strauss Group (TASE: STRS) commented: "The strong growth trend at the beginning of this year continued in the past quarter and enabled the Group to achieve excellent results. In Israel, our home base, we continue to post high growth rates, contrary to the prevailing market trend, and despite price reductions of core products and improving our employees working benefits. The international coffee company has increased its sales turnover and improved its operating profit; the international dips and spreads business has continued to grow market share in all geographies of operations as it continues to contend with the challenge of growing the category in the US. Innovation, increased operational efficiency and the strengthening of our competitive positioning in core countries of operations will remain our focus in the coming quarters as we tackle the complexities and challenges that will no doubt accompany a diverse group such as ours."
