The Hershey Co.'s consolidated net sales reached $1.75 billion in the second quarter of 2018, thanks to snack acquisitions and divestitures of its Golden Monkey unit and the Tyrells brand. The company, which announced its quarterly results in July, said global consolidated net sales were up 5.3 percent from $1.66 billion in the same period last year. Hershey's North American net sales were up 5.6 percent, reaching $1.56 billion. "We continue to invest in the U.S. with our core brands and build capabilities for growth while taking measured steps to enhance long-term profitability," CEO Michele Buck said. "Amplify's strong performance in the marketplace continues and the integration is proceeding as planned. I am very pleased with the ongoing transformation of our international business with solid organic growth, meaningful profit improvement, and the successful divestitures of Tyrrells and Golden Monkey."
