Nutrition group Glanbia announced a €50 million share buyback programme and a rise in revenue in the nine months through 3 October as trends in its North America performance nutrition business improved 'significantly.'

The share repurchase programme was expected to start in November 2020.

For the nine month trading period ended 3 October 2020, revenue was up 1.0% versus prior year and up 3.1% on a like-for-like basis.

'Operating cash flow has been strong and net debt versus the same period in the prior year has reduced by €188 million. We expect to continue to build momentum into Q4 and to exit the year well positioned for 2021 growth,' the company said.
