Analysis of Results of Operations
First quarter 2011 vs. First quarter 2010
Food and beverage firm RFM Corporation registered P100 million in net income for the first three months of 2011, down 27% from P138 million reported same period last year. The slowdown in performance can be attributed to rising commodity prices as well as escalating power and utilities cost resulting from political concerns in the Middle East and North Africa.
Saddled with a general softening of the market in many categories, coupled with the delayed start of summer, first quarter revenues remained flat at P1.98 billion. However, sales turnover of the flour-based group and Selecta ice cream remained resilient. New marketing campaigns have been launched during the quarter particularly for Selecta Ice Cream, Fiesta pasta, Selecta Milk, Sunkist (new Sunkist Litro) and Swift Canned Meat (Swift Corned Beef swak pack).
The Company maintains optimism as it focuses and leverages on the strengths of its core products. Selecta Ice Cream, a joint venture with world giant Unilever, is deepening its dominant market position with 66% market share, while the flour-based businesses led by White King Fiesta continues to improve it market position at 29% in the spaghetti pasta category.
