Post Holdings challenged by rapid expansion

摘要

Transforming from a company with under $1 billion in sales a year ago to one with projected sales of $4 billion has not been without its challenges for Post Holdings, Inc. But all-in-all, the company has been satisfied with the process. "In the last 12 months, Post Holdings has been transformed into a more diverse, consumer packaged goods holding company, competing in categories with more dynamic growth prospects, and driven by large secular themes - portability and convenience, changes in diet toward protein and more organic and natural products, and the shift in breakfast eating locations away from home," Terry Block, president and chief operating officer, said during a May 9 conference call.
