LONDON--Associated British Foods PLC (ABF.LN), the U.K. ingredients company that also owns clothes retailer Primark, Monday said underlying trading remains in line with expectations and that it continues to expect a marginal decline in adjusted earnings per share for the group for the full year.

"Primark has performed well and its expansion is continuing, Grocery is expected to deliver a first half operating profit in line with last year, and Ingredients and Agriculture have made excellent progress in operating profit, building on their very positive performances last year," the company said.
