Kellogg is profitable again this fourth quarter, buoyed by the repricing of some assets based on market conditions.
The maker of Frosted Flakes and Pop Tarts earned $818 million, or $2.24 per share, for the period ended Dec. 28. That compares with a loss of $32 million, or 9 cents per share, a year earlier.
This quarter included a $1.83 per share benefit for repricing certain assets.
Removing the benefit and other items, earnings were 83 cents per share, still a penny better than analysts had expected.
Revenue for the Battle Creek, Mich. company dipped 2 percent to $3.5 billion from $3.56 billion. Wall Street forecast $3.54 billion.
For 2014, Kellogg Co. expects earnings per share to rise 1 percent to 3 percent.
Shares fell slightly in premarket trading Thursday.
