Compass Group PLC (CPG.LN) said Thursday that organic revenue grew 6.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and it expects the full year to be slightly ahead of the middle of its targeted range.

The support services company added that it continues to make progress with its disposal program and will give more information when it reports half-year earnings in May.

The company previously announced that it was managing its portfolio to increase focus on food and was in the process of selling up to 5% of revenues in noncore businesses.

Compass said last November at the time of its earnings for the year ended Sept. 30 that it expected organic growth for fiscal 2019 to be in the middle of its 4%-6% range with modest margin progression.
