The biscuit maker, in another exchange filing, said it will consider the sub-division of equity shares of the company of face value of Rs 2 each. It will decide the stock-split proposition on Aug. 23, according to the filing.
The company, which will enter its centenary this year, said its international business remained flat due to a slow-down in geographies like middle-east and Africa.
The growth in dairy business remained subdued due to the company's focus to drive value added products and reducing play in the less profitable commoditised products, Britannia said.
Shares of the company snapped a three-day and gained 1.66 percent to Rs 6,395 apiece intra-day.
