PureCircle Limited provided a earnings guidance for the six month ended December 31, 2013. For the first half, the company expected sales are to be $34.7 million, an increase of 31% against $26.4 million for the same period last year. There was growth in sales across all high purity ingredients primarily driven by new innovations in proprietary Stevia 3.0 TM portfolio of all-natural, no-calorie sweeteners and natural flavor systems. By region, EMEA, Latin America, Asia Pacific and USA all recorded sales growth.

The benefits of the increase in sales are expected to flow through the profit and loss account with the group moving to positive operating profit and EBITDA.
