At the same time, the company reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $13 million on the back of sales of $171 million, but an improved gross revenue of $200 million.
Former chairman Hussein Rifai resigned from the board in November last year.
He was replaced by new chairman Andrew Reitzer, a former Metcash chief executive.
The company reported a loss of $39 million in the previous comparable period.
SPC has calculated that the transfer of processing facilities from Mill Park, Melbourne will result in annualised savings of $8 million, rather than the forecast $4 million to $5 million.
Managing director Robert Iervasi noted that the completion of the half year marked the end of the first 12 months as a combined entity, bringing together the Original Beverage Company, Nature One dairy and Natural Ingredients, with a stronger and more diversified business.
“The foundations we have been establishing are already delivering tangible benefits,” he said.
“Our growth across brands, channels and markets proves that the merger is unlocking synergies and accelerating our ability to grow domestically, and internationally.”
He said the company was continuing to work to get the fundamentals right and was proceeding with growth ambitions.
Mr Iervasi said the company had agreements in place that would see more Australian products in more stores and in more countries.
