I am proud to report results for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, which indicate profit after tax of $52.6M, an increase of $4.4M or 9% over the comparative period of 2018. Earnings per share has increased to $0.26 per share from $0.23 per share as at June 30, 2018.
Revenue of $346.4M represents an increase of 4% from the comparable period in 2018. This growth was due largely to strong performance of the Bitters segment, as distribution growth in top retailers in the North American market and increased use in cocktails in the UK market have resulted in increased demand. Additionally, the profitable co-pack bulk segment also reported significant revenue growth.
Ongoing cost management strategies were stringently reviewed during the second quarter. We expect to maximize our marketing dollar over the remaining fiscal year and to roll out additional marketing plans in line with our stated goals.
In consideration of the Group’s performance for the period ended June 30, 2019, the Board has approved an interim dividend of $0.09 per share, with a record date of August 13, 2019, and a payment date of August 30, 2019.
