Blackmores

Vitamin and pet food supplier Blackmores has reported a 66 per cent full-year profit dive after Chinese shoppers limited spending amid COVID-19.

Vitamin producer Blackmores has announced an equity raising of up to $117 million to strengthen its balance sheet during the coronavirus crisis, but executive director Marcus Blackmore won't be participating.

Vitamins producer Blackmores has reported a 46 per cent plunge in first-half profit, and flagged trouble from the coronavirus.

Vitamin company Blackmores has scrapped its interim dividend and slashed its full-year profit guidance, blaming it on adverse costs and the coronavirus outbreak.
