The company revealed that it expects to report revenue of NZ$670 million and net profit after tax of NZ$85 million to NZ$95 million. This will be a big decline on the prior corresponding period which saw revenues of NZ$900 million thanks to COVID tailwinds.

The Inghams share price is down 9% to $2.69. This morning this poultry company posted a 57.9% decline in net profit after tax to $35.1 million for FY 2022.
