USA: Sara Lee Q3 Sales Top $4 Billion
Consumer goods giant Sara Lee Corporation has posted a four per cent year-on-year climb in third quarter sales to $4.2 billion and a 15 per cent jump in earnings per share to 31 cents – excluding unusual items.
In a statement, the Chicago-based company said gains in global intimate apparel and legwear were offset by lower meats, knit products, beverage and household products volumes.
