Troubled dairy processor Synlait Milk says it has the support of banks and will not need to raise capital after plunging into loss-making territory.
Synlait’s woes reflect some of those being faced by a2 Milk Company, one of its major customers and a shareholder.
New Zealand-based Synlait said on Monday that it expected to report a full-year loss of $NZ20 million-$NZ30 million ($18.6 million-$27.8 million) based on a triple whammy of issues.
The company said it faced shipping delays out of New Zealand that could get worse before they got better, and was achieving lower prices for its ingredient products that it had expected.
