Belgian grocer Delhaize has raised its guidance for 2013 after beating second-quarter expectations, thanks to further growth in its US operations.
During the second quarter, underlying operating profit rose by 5.8% to hit 193 million ($257.06 million), Delhaize said today, Thursday 8 August.
The retailer now expects to make at least 780 million in 2013, more than the 775 million it forecast in May.
Revenues in Belgium were 1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 2.9% on 2012
