"Net sales for January–September were EUR 1,314.6 million, an increase of almost EUR 70 million compared to the same period last year. EBIT increased from EUR 34.6 million to EUR 40.2 million.
As a result of the good performance in Finland and the successful start-up of the poultry plant, Atria raised its guidance for EBIT for the current year. We estimate that adjusted EBIT for 2023 will be higher than EUR 49.0 million.
Atria Finland delivered a strong result. Sales prices have been higher than in the same period last year, and the sales structure has improved. The most significant price increases

were already made a year ago during the second and third quarters. In Finland, we have been able to increase our sales to retail and Foodservice customers. On the other hand, sales to feed, industrial and export customers decreased in the third quarter.
The investments in the new poultry plant in Nurmo and the expansion of the Sköllersta plant have progressed according to plan – the Sköllersta plant was completed in the autumn, and the construction and commissioning of the poultry plant in Nurmo is continuing. Both projects have incurred some additional costs, but these have remained at a relatively moderate level.
The development of Atria Sweden's net sales and EBIT has been held back by strong inflation in food prices. Swedish consumers are now looking carefully at what they buy, and are shopping for low-priced products, mostly private label products. Production at the Malmö plant ended in June, with several products being discontinued. This had a negative impact on Atria Sweden's net sales.
In Estonia, Atria has been able to increase its sales to retail customers. In the third quarter, Atria Estonia's net sales increased by more than 20% compared to the same period last year. In Denmark, Atria's sales performance has continued to be weak, but the profit level has been improved by efficiency measures.
The strong growth in the value of the product groups where Atria operates has been remarkable during the current year. Sales value has increased by 10% in Finland, more than 5% in Sweden, 14% in Denmark and almost 14% in Estonia between January and August. Atria has kept up well with market development, especially in Finland and Estonia, where we have been able to steadily increase our market shares.
The cash flow from operating activities for the period under review is more than EUR 60 million higher than in the previous year as a result of the development of EBIT and working capital. The large investments made during the period resulted in a free cash flow of EUR -34.4 million.
The Atria 100 Young Producers training programme for future livestock farmers started in October 2023. Finnish food production will be on a strong footing when we can work with young farmers from all production sectors to tackle future challenges and find opportunities. The motivation shown by young producers further strengthens our belief in the future of domestic food production.
In the summer of 2023, Atria farmers, Atria employees, Atria Finland, and the producer cooperatives Itikka, Lihakunta and Pohjanmaan liha carried out a large-scale joint project to deliver canned pork to Ukraine, which is fighting a defensive war against Russia. The project raised a total of EUR 114,881. These funds were used to deliver 39,342 cans of Atria pork to Ukraine. The collection was carried out in cooperation with the Apua Ukrainaan ry association, which has a valid money collection licence. Over the last year and a half, the association has delivered more than 30 trucks and other vehicles to Ukraine, as well as about 15 truckloads of mostly hospital supplies."
Atria Group's net sales in July–September were EUR 429.5 million (EUR 438.8 million). The Group's adjusted EBIT was EUR 19.3 million (EUR 16.2 million), or 4.5% (3.7%). Consolidated EBIT was EUR 19.3 million (EUR 16.4 million), or 4.5% (3.7%) of net sales.
Atria Finland's reduced sales to feed, industrial and export customers weakened net sales. Atria Sweden's net sales were weighed down by weaker sales to retail customers and the weakened Swedish krona. In addition, Atria Sweden's figures no longer include sales of products discontinued following the closure of the Malmö plant, which contributed to the decline in net sales in the third quarter. AB Korv-Görans Kebab Oy, acquired by Atria at the end of last year, increased net sales in Finland. The net sales of Atria Estonia showed strong development. Atria Denmark's net sales decreased, which was due to lower sales volumes to retail customers.
Year-on-year EBIT improved thanks to a more favourable structure of sales and higher sales prices. Costs of raw materials and external services, as well as payroll costs, were higher than in the comparison period. In Finland, producer prices for meat were higher than in the same period in the previous year. Energy prices were lower than in the comparison period.
The investment in Atria's new poultry plant in Nurmo progressed as planned. The phased commissioning started in April. Construction and installation work have progressed according to plan. The commissioning of process equipment is continuing. Testing and commissioning of the slaughterhouse will start during the end of the year.
The Malmö plant ceased production in June. The expansion project at Atria's Sköllersta plant in Sweden was completed in August. During the period under review, there have been challenges in operational efficiency due to the start-up of the production lines at the Sköllersta plant.
Atria raised its guidance for its adjusted EBIT for 2023 on 11th of September 2023. This resulted from the good performance of Atria Finland, which was mainly caused by the better-than-expected start-up of the new poultry plant. In addition, Atria Finland's sales structure is better than in the previous year.
Atria Group's net sales in January–September were EUR 1314.6 million (EUR 1245.5 million). Adjusted EBIT was EUR 40.2 million (EUR 32.3 million), or 3.1% (2.6%) of net sales. The Group's EBIT was EUR 40.2 million (EUR 34.6 million), or 3.1% (2.8%). EBIT for the comparison period includes a total of EUR +2.3 million in adjustment items with an effect on comparability.
Net sales grew by almost EUR 70 million year-on-year. The growth resulted from sales volumes that were higher than in the comparison period and stable sales prices to retail and Foodservice customers. In addition, AB Korv-Görans Kebab Oy, acquired by Atria at the end of last year, increased net sales in Finland.
EBIT was higher than in the corresponding period last year. The increase in EBIT was the result of Atria Finland's good performance in the first and third quarters. The good performance of Atria Finland resulted from a more favourable sales structure and higher sales prices than in the corresponding period last year. The second quarter was affected by additional costs related to the start-up of investments by Atria Finland and Sweden.
EBIT for the comparison period (January–September 2022) includes a non-recurring gain of EUR 9.8 million on the sale of a plant property in Malmö and a non-recurring refund of EUR 1.3 million of pension contributions. EBIT for the comparison period also includes a EUR 1.9 million sales gain recognised on the divestment of the Sibylla Rus fast-food company, which operated in Russia, and a EUR 10.7 million translation difference loss incurred from the exchange rate differences between the Russian rouble and the euro. The translation difference was recognised in the income statement, but it had no effect on the Group's equity ratio or cash flow.
The expansion of the Sköllersta plant was completed. The production lines were transferred from Malmö to Sköllersta, and the last day of production at the Malmö plant was in June.
Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 41.3 million (EUR -20.2 million). Improved EBIT and lower working capital commitments improved the cash flow from operations. During the financial year, Atria has made major investments. The construction of the poultry plant will continue in 2023. The expansion of the Sköllersta plant was completed in June. Cash flow from investments was EUR -75.7 million (EUR -56.5 million).
Atria Finland's cooperation negotiations initiated in March to restructure the pig slaughtering and cutting operations at the Atria Nurmo plant were concluded at the end of May. As a result of the negotiations, the number of temporary employment contracts was reduced, and positions were rearranged internally. The changes took effect at the end of September. In Denmark, the operational efficiency programme launched in March was completed. Production now takes place in two production plants, and the numbers of employees has been reduced.
Atria acquired 100,000 of its own series A shares at an average price of EUR 10.81 per share. This corresponds to approximately 0.35% of the total number of shares in the company, which is 28,267,728. The acquired shares will be used for payments under Atria Plc's share-based incentive plans. The shares were acquired in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki at the market price at the time of acquisition. After the acquisitions, the company holds a total of 111,102 of its own series A shares.

Atria has sustainability goals in the new credit facility of 25 million euros and the loan of 50 million euros. The responsibility goals are to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and work accidents and to improve energy efficiency.
Interest in the Atria 100 Young Producers training programme exceeded expectations. The first group of young producers from pig, cattle and poultry farms started the 100 Young Producers training programme in October 2023. The training programme aims to support young producers' entrepreneurship as producers of Finnish food and helps them succeed in a changing operating environment. Implemented for the first time, the programme received many applications, and 40 students were selected.

| EUR million | 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | 2022 |
| Net sales | 323.6 | 327.2 | 992.4 | 920.9 | 1,265.3 |
| EBIT | 19.0 | 12.7 | 46.6 | 29.2 | 49.4 |
| EBIT, % | 5.9 % | 3.9 % | 4.7 % | 3.2 % | 3.9 % |
Atria Finland's net sales in July–September were EUR 323.6 million (EUR 327.2 million). The decrease in net sales was due to lower net sales to feed, industrial and export customers. Net sales to retail and Foodservice customers continued to grow. In addition, AB Korv-Görans Kebab Oy, acquired by Atria at the end of last year, increased net sales.
EBIT totalled EUR 19.0 million (EUR 12.7 million). This increase was due to an improved sales structure and higher sales prices than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The phased commissioning of the poultry plant went well during the reporting period.
Costs of raw materials and external services as well as payroll costs were higher than in the comparison period. Meat prices paid to producers were also higher than in the corresponding period in the previous year. Energy prices were lower than in the comparison period.
Net sales in January–September were EUR 992.4 million (EUR 920.9 million). The increase in net sales was the result of higher sales prices in all sales channels. Sales volumes to retail and Foodservice customers also increased. In addition, AB Korv-Görans Kebab Oy acquired by Atria at the end of 2022 increased net sales.
EBIT totalled EUR 46.6 million (EUR 29.2 million). The increase in EBIT is explained by the good result of the first and third quarters, driven by an improved sales structure and higher sales prices. The costs of raw materials, supplies and external services were higher than in the previous year during the January– September period. Energy prices started to fall. Producer prices for meat were markedly higher year-on-year. The start-up of the poultry plant and salary settlements resulted in costs during the reporting period.
The retail market in Finland grew by around 10% in value in Atria's product groups during January–August. The growth of the market for individual product groups was as follows:

The Finnish Foodservice market in Atria's product groups grew by 10% in terms of value during the January– August period. In the Foodservice market, the poultry product group grew by 27% in value, and the convenience food product group by 14%. In the Foodservice market, Atria's supplier share was a little over 21%. The Foodservice market has been exceptionally volatile over the last year, with sales volumes fluctuating wildly. (Source: Atria Market Insight 2023)
Atria Finland initiated change negotiations concerning the rearrangement of pig slaughtering and cutting at Atria's Nurmo plant in March. Negotiations were concluded in May and as a result, personnel adjustments will be made by reducing the use of temporary employees and through internal transfers during 2023. The rearrangements are based on the need to adjust production capacity to the current pork market situation.
The phased commissioning of the new poultry plant started in April. Construction and installation work have progressed in schedule. The phased commissioning of process equipment is continuing. Testing and commissioning of the slaughterhouse will start during the end of the year.

Atria Sweden's net sales in July–September were EUR 80.5 million (EUR 92.7 million). Net sales in euros decreased by approximately 13 percent. The decrease in net sales in local currencies was around 4%. Price inflation has had an impact on consumer behaviour, with consumers preferring less expensive products, and private label sales increasing significantly. The figures for the comparison period for net sales and result include sales of products previously produced at the Malmö plant, which have been discontinued or transferred to Atria's Danish plant.
Adjusted EBIT was EUR 0.0 million (EUR 3.4 million). EBIT was EUR 0.0 million (EUR 3.7 million). EBIT for the comparison period includes a non-recurring refund of EUR 0.3 million of pension contributions. Changes in consumer behaviour and weaker sales reduced EBIT. Higher raw material prices, the weakening of the Swedish krona and costs related to the rearrangement of production also weighed on Atria Sweden's result.
The Malmö plant ceased production in June. The expansion project at Atria's Sköllersta plant in Sweden was completed in August. During the period under review, there have been challenges in operational efficiency due to the start-up of the production lines at the Sköllersta plant.
Net sales in January–September were EUR 250.0 million (EUR 269.9 million). The growth of net sales in local currencies, excluding the Russian fast-food business, was almost 5%. The net sales and EBIT for the comparison period include the Sibylla Russia business, which was sold in May 2022. In addition, the figures for the comparison period include sales of products previously produced at the Malmö plant, which have been discontinued, or whose production has been moved to Atria's Danish plant. Sales price increases strengthened net sales.
Adjusted EBIT was EUR -5.4 million (EUR 3.2 million). EBIT was EUR -5.4 million (EUR 14.3 million). The expansion of the Sköllersta plant was completed in late August. The production lines were transferred from Malmö to Sköllersta, and the last day of production at the Malmö plant was in June. The transfer of production from Malmö to Sköllersta has resulted in additional costs. Raw material prices remained high, weighing on EBIT. EBIT was reduced by higher costs and weaker consumer purchasing power resulting from inflation. Consumers prefer products in the lower price range.
EBIT for the comparison period includes a non-recurring gain of EUR 9.8 million on the sale of the plant property in Malmö and a non-recurring refund of EUR 1.3 million in pension contributions.
In January–August, the sales value of all Atria product groups in the Swedish retail sector grew by an average of more than 5% compared to the corresponding period last year. The growth of the market for individual product groups was as follows:
Atria's supplier shares (including private label products) in Swedish retail by product category in January– August, measured in value:
The Foodservice market grew in July–September, but volumes were down compared to the same period last year. Demand for low-cost products has also increased in the Foodservice market. Sales of fast-food products declined slightly between July and September, and demand for lower-priced products has also increased in the fast food market. (Source: Atria Market Insight 2023)

Atria Denmark & Estonia's net sales in July–September were EUR 32.0 million (EUR 29.1 million). EBIT totalled EUR 1.5 million (EUR 0.7 million).
During the review period, Atria Estonia's net sales increased by more than 20% compared to the same period last year. The sales of cold cuts grew most, by almost 40%. Sales volumes to retailers also increased by almost 10%. Sales prices in Estonia were higher than in the comparison period, and cost levels were at the level of the comparison period, which strengthened Atria Estonia's EBIT.
Atria Denmark's net sales declined due to lower sales volumes to retail customers. Sales to Foodservice and export customers were stable. In Denmark, EBIT improved as a result of the efficiency measures launched in the spring.
Net sales in January–September were EUR 91.6 million (EUR 83.5 million). EBIT totalled EUR 1.6 million (EUR 2.2 million). The increase in net sales resulted from higher sales prices in both Estonia and Denmark. Atria Estonia's EBIT was strengthened by the good development of sales to retail customers. Atria Denmark's EBIT was weighed down by weaker sales volumes and high raw material prices. In Denmark, the result was also weighed down by additional costs resulting from the efficiency programme.
Lise Ostergaard started as CEO of Atria Denmark on 1 June 2023.

Consolidated interest-bearing net liabilities on 30/09/2023 amounted to EUR 294.7 million (31/12/2022: EUR 234.7 million).
Consolidated free cash flow in the review period amounted to EUR -34.4 million (EUR -76.7 million). Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 41.3 million (EUR -20.2 million). Improved EBIT and lower working capital commitments improved the cash flow from operations. During the financial year, Atria has made major investments. The construction of the poultry plant will continue in 2023. The expansion of the Sköllersta plant was completed in June. Cash flow from investments was EUR -75.7 million (EUR -56.5 million).
Equity ratio at the end of the review period was 43.6% (31/12/2022: 44.8%). Equity decreased due to a change in the fair value of the derivative instruments employed as hedging, which amounted to EUR -18.6 million during the period (EUR +29.3 million).
In May, Atria refinanced a EUR 25 million binding credit facility that would have expired on 20 December 2024 with a new EUR 25 million bullet credit facility tied to responsibility targets, with a maturity of five years and 1+1 year extension options. In June, Atria also refinanced a EUR 25 million loan due on 3 March 2025 with a new EUR 50 million bullet loan tied to responsibility targets, with a maturity of five years and 1+1 year extension options. The responsibility targets for the credit facility and the loan are the reduction of carbon emissions and occupational accidents and the improvement of energy efficiency.
The Group's liquidity during the review period remained good. On 30/09/2023, the Group had undrawn committed credit facilities worth EUR 85.0 million (31/12/2022: EUR 85.0 million). The average maturity of loans and committed credit facilities at the end of the period under review was 3 years 11 month (31/12/2022: 4 years 1 months).
Atria has hedged against rising interest rates with interest rate derivatives, which stood at EUR 90 million on 30/09/2023. At the end of September, the Group's fixed-interest debt represented 32.8% of the loan portfolio (31/12/2022: 25.7%).
Net financing costs increased due to rising interest rates and amounted to EUR -3.2 million for the third quarter of the year (Q3 2022: EUR -0.3 million) and EUR -10.1 million from the start of the year (EUR -1.9 million). The average interest rate of the loan portfolio on 30/09/2023 was 4.52% (30/09/2022: 1.56%).
Atria Group's business, net sales or results can be affected by several uncertainties. Atria has described its business risks and risk management in detail in its Annual Report 2022, which can be found at https://www2.atria.fi/en/group/investors/financial-information/annual-reports/.
In the third quarter of the year, inflation dropped in Europe but has remained at a high level. Costs have been pushed up by high prices of raw materials and other inputs, wage increases and repeated increases of the European Central Bank's policy rate. Consumer purchasing power has been affected by rising interest rates on consumer and mortgage loans.
Atria's broad product range, its ability to adjust its product selection to match customer needs and its wellknown products have helped the company adapt to a situation where consumers have to plan their food purchases more carefully. Atria's good market position and strong balance sheet have also helped in this challenging situation.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza spread to Finland in July and is now present in both wild birds and fur animals. If the disease spreads to poultry farms or Atria's production facilities, there will be economic losses. The spread of the disease would make it more difficult to obtain domestic poultry meat and would result in a reduced supply of poultry meat for consumers. Atria has protective measures in place in its own production plants and at its contract farms.
In September, African swine fever was found in wild boars in Sweden. The disease has not spread to farms. The situation is being closely monitored in Sweden, and Atria has implemented protection measures at its production plants. Swine fever still occurs in Estonia and protective measures continue.
In line with its risk management policy, Atria has protected itself against hazard risks by insuring the risks outside the Group. In 2023, Atria's deductible increased for property damage and business interruption insurance. This is due to changes in the insurance market resulting from the coronavirus, the unstable geopolitical situation and global claims development. In the event of a catastrophe, Atria's own share of the costs of damage will be higher than before. As a result, Atria is currently investing more in risk management measures and business continuity plans and is raising the safety level of its plants.
Atria has prepared itself for increasing cybercrime and information system failures. Planned monitoring and continuous improvement of cyber security are practiced to guarantee quick responses in exceptional situations.
Atria owns about 2% of the Majakka Voima company. Majakka Voima Ltd owns shares in SF Power Company, which is the main shareholder of Fennovoima Ltd. The shareholders of SF Power Company have previously approached the shareholders of Majakka Voima with claims for compensation. Atria believes it is unlikely that the claims will result in any significant costs for Atria. Atria already fully wrote off the shares of Majakka Voima in its accounts in 2021.
On September 11, 2023, Atria raised its 2023 adjusted operating profit guidance. Updated guidance below.
Atria Group's adjusted EBIT in 2023 is expected to be higher than in the previous year (EUR 49.0 million).
During 2023, the company will commission a major expansion at its Sköllersta plant in Sweden, and the phased start-up and testing of the new poultry plant in Nurmo will begin. These measures will result in additional costs in 2023.
In addition, high costs, weakened consumer purchasing power and global political uncertainty will continue to affect the business environment in 2023. Atria's strong market position and strong brands, good customer relationships and reliable industrial processes will enable stable business also in 2023.
Atria Plc's financial statement release for 2023 will be published on 22 February 2024 at approximately 8.00 a.m. The Annual General Meeting will be held on 23 April 2024.

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of a maximum of 2,800,000 of the company's own series A shares in one or more instalments with funds belonging to the company's unrestricted equity, subject to the provisions of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act on the maximum amount of treasury shares. The Company's own series A shares may be acquired for use as consideration in any acquisitions or other arrangements relating to the Company's business, to finance investments, as part of the Company's incentive programme, to develop the Company's capital structure, to be otherwise further transferred, to be retained by the Company, or to be cancelled.
The shares must be acquired in a proportion other than that of the shareholders' current shareholdings in the company in public trading arranged by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price at the time of acquisition. The shares must be acquired and paid for in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear Finland Oy. The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on the acquisition of treasury shares in all other respects.
The authorisation supersedes the authorisation granted by the AGM on 3 May 2022 to the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares, and it will remain valid until the closing of the next AGM or until 30 June 2024, whichever is first.
In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, the AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide, on one or several occasions, on an issue of a maximum of 5,500,000 new series A shares or on the disposal of
any series A shares held by the company through a share issue and/or by granting option rights or other special rights entitling people to shares as referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act. The authorisation is intended to be used for the financing or execution of any acquisitions or other arrangements or investments relating to the company's business, for the implementation of the company's incentive programme or for other purposes subject to a decision by the Board.
The Board is also authorised to decide on all terms and conditions of the share issue and of the granting of special rights as referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Companies Act. The authorisation thus also includes the right to issue shares in a proportion other than that currently held by the shareholders under the conditions provided by law, the right to issue shares against or without payment and the right to decide on a share issue to the company itself without payment, subject to the provisions of the Limited Liability Companies Act regarding the maximum number of treasury shares to be held by a company.
The authorisation supersedes the share issue authorisation granted by the AGM on 3 May 2022 to the Board of Directors and will be valid until the closing of the next AGM or until 30 June 2024, whichever is first.
In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to donate a maximum of EUR 100,000 of the company's distributable funds to support the activities of colleges, universities or other educational institutions or to support other charitable or similar purposes. At the same time, the Board of Directors was authorised to decide the payment schedules of donations and any other terms of the donations.

Atria Finland Ltd bought 51.0% of Ab Korv-Görans Kebab Oy's shares on 30 Dec 2022. Atria gained control over the company. Korv-Görans Kebab manufactures frozen meat products and is a long-term partner of Atria as a contract manufacturer of kebab chips, cooked chicken products and other meat products made from Finnish raw materials. Ripe, bulk-frozen kebab chips are the company's main products. In addition, the company manufactures cooked meat and chicken products, kebab skewers and cooked minced meat products. Korv-Görans Kebab's production facility is located in Pietarsaari, Finland and was founded in 1988. The company built new premises in 2019. The company employs 65 people permanently.
Atria's goal is to strengthen its position in the convenience food and Foodservice products market. Atria has a long-term cooperation with Korv-Görans Kebab. The ownership in the company brings new opportunities for Atria to respond to the growth of the convenience food market and the development of the Foodservice market and the wishes of customers. The deal combines the flexible operating method of a small operator with the know-how and market position of a large company.
Atria has the obligation to redeem the remaining 49% of the shares during 2028 at the earliest if the non-controlling owners decide to exercise their put option. A liability has been recorded for the redemption obligation, which is valued at the present value of the estimated obligation. The acquisition has no significant impact on Atria's financial position or result.

* Atria records the non-controlling interests according to the relative ownership. Future changes in the share of non-controlling interest, which do not lead to a loss of control, are treated as internal arrangements in equity.

In addition to the IFRS figures, Atria publishes other widely used alternative financial indicators that can be derived from the income statement and balance sheet.
| Adjusted EBIT, adjusted profit before taxes and adjusted profit for the period |
In addition to reporting EBIT, profit before taxes and profit for the period the company publishes an adjusted EBIT, adjusted profit before taxes and adjusted profit for the period indicators to describe the actual financial development of the business and to improve comparability between periods. The adjusted figures are determined by adjusting the above items for material items that affect comparability. These may include events that are not part of ordinary business activities, such as the restructuring of operations, capital gains and losses attributable to the sale of operations, impairment, and the costs of discontinuing significant operations. |
