Unfavorable exchange rates still dampened revenue for the food maker.
The maker of Sara Lee breads, Jimmy Dean sausages and other foods said Tuesday that it posted a loss of $14 million, or a loss of 2 cents per share, compared with a bigger loss of $672 million, or 95 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding impairment charges of $207 million at its Spanish bakery business and $61 million in other charges, earnings per share were 29 cents.
Revenue declined 10 percent to $3.16 billion.
