Kraft Heinz Co. said its profit rose for its third quarter and that it is managing inflationary pressures.

The food maker on Wednesday posted net income attributable to shareholders of $733 million, compared with $597 million in the same period last year. Earnings were 59 cents a share, compared with 49 cents a share in the prior year.

Adjusted earnings were 65 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting 58 cents a share.

Net sales fell to $6.32 billion for the three months ended Sept. 25 from $6.44 billion. Analysts were looking for $6.04 billion. The decline includes a four-percentage-point effect from the divestiture of its nuts business, the company said.
