Dow Jones10-30

By Connor Hart

 

Kellanova said profit fell in the third quarter, as the company continues to face soft demand and higher costs.

The maker of Eggo waffles and Cheez-It crackers on Thursday posted a profit of $309 million, or 88 cents a share, for the quarter ended Sept. 27, down from $367 million, or $1.05 a share, in last year's comparable period.

Stripping out one-time items, earnings were 94 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had been expecting 87 cents a share.

Sales edged 0.8% higher to $3.26 billion, roughly in line with Wall Street projections.

Chief Executive Steve Cahillane said the company is focusing on innovation, productivity and emerging-markets expansion to help offset the ongoing cyclical downturn.

The company, formerly known as Kellogg, said it would continue to not provide guidance while it works to close its $30 billion merger with privately held candy-maker Mars. The transaction is on track to close towards the end of the year.
