The company said its rural lending and financing focus has helped buffer it from the credit squeeze that's hurt other financial firms.

Wrightson Finance merged with PGG Finance in March 2006, with the merger of their parent companies, initially creating a firm with a loan book of NZ$285 million. The value of loans had reached NZ$500 million by May this year.
PGG Wrightson Ltd shares fell 1.6% to NZ$2.51.
