Constellation Brands Inc., the world's biggest wine company, said Thursday its earnings rose 9.2 percent in the second quarter, and raised its profit outlook for the full year.
Constellation, which also produces liquor, said it had solid performance in its Canadian business and a 25 percent jump in liquor sales, but a move to reduce inventory at U.S. wine distributors and softness in its U.K. business hurt results.
It earned $72.1 million, or 33 cents per Class A share, after paying preferred dividends in the period ended Aug. 31, up from $66 million, or 28 cents per share, in a year-ago period which included restructuring charges.
Excluding items, the company posted profit of 35 cents per share, down from 43 cents in the prior-year period.
