The company also reported net sales of USD 1.6 billion for the third quarter of 2023, compared with net sales of USD 1.7 billion for the same period a year ago.
«Our core business continues to perform extremely well. We had seasonally strong performance during the third quarter and were able to return gross margins to pre-acquisition levels,» said Randall C. Stuewe, Darling Ingredients Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. «The company has good momentum as we close out the year and is well positioned heading into 2024.»
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2023, Darling Ingredients reported net sales of USD 5.2 billion, compared to net sales of USD 4.8 billion for the same period in 2022.

During the third quarter, Darling Ingredients received USD 62.2 million in cash dividends from the joint venture, and USD 163.6 million in cash dividends year to date.
