Atria Group's net sales continued to grow – result was strong

In April-June consolidated net sales (+ EUR 25 Million) increased as a result of stable sales volumes and sales prices that were higher than in the comparison period.

• Additional costs related to the roll-out of Atria's investments in Finland and Sweden reduced EBIT. In addition, EBIT was weighed down by the increased cost of raw materials, supplies and external services, as well as increased wage costs.

• Atria acquired 100,000 of its own series A shares.

• Kai Gyllström took over as Group CEO on 1 June 2023.

In January-June net sales grew by almost EUR 80 million year-on-year. The growth resulted from stable sales volumes and sales prices that were higher than in the comparison period.

  • The increase in EBIT was the result of Atria Finland's good performance in the first quarter.
  • The change in consumer behaviour resulting from the economic recession has favoured the sales of Atria's diverse product range, especially in the retail sector.

EBIT 12.7 13.4 27.7 16.5 49.4
EBIT, % 3.7% 4.2% 4.1% 2.8% 3.9%
  • In April-June the increase in net sales (+ EUR 26 million) was the result of higher sales prices in all sales channels. Compared to the same period last year, sales volumes to retail customers also grew.
  • EBIT was weighed down by non-recurring items related to wage settlements implemented during the reporting period and additional costs related to the commissioning of the new poultry plant. The phased commissioning of the poultry plant started during the reporting period.
  • During the reporting period, the input costs continued to be significantly higher than in the comparison period. Meat producer prices were also significantly higher than in the corresponding period in the previous year. Energy prices took a downturn during the period under review.
  • In January-June the increase in net sales (+ EUR 75 million) was driven by higher selling prices than in the comparison period in all sales channels and higher sales volumes to retail and Foodservice customers. In addition, AB Korv-Görans Kebab Oy acquired by Atria at the end of 2022 increased net sales.
  • The increase in EBIT resulted from the good performance in the first quarter. The costs of raw materials, supplies, energy and external services were significantly higher than in the previous year during the January–June period. Producer prices for meat were markedly higher year-on-year.

Atria Finland

  • Atria's supplier share in its product groups in retail was 26%, up 1.4 percentage points from last year's corresponding period.
  • The Finnish Foodservice market in the product groups represented by Atria grew by 16% in terms of value. In the Foodservice market, the poultry product group grew by 36% in value during January– May.

  • The Foodservice market has been exceptionally volatile over the past year, with sales volumes fluctuating wildly from month to month and even week to week.

Atria Finland

  • 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 during the reporting period. Construction and installation work are progressing according to plan. Installations will continue, and process equipment is being tested and the commissioning of both the process and the building services will continue in phases.

EBIT -2.1 11.6 -5.4 10.7 -37.8
EBIT, % -2.3% 12.2% -3.2% 6.0% -10.6%

In April-June the growth of net sales in local currencies, excluding the Russian fast-food business, was almost 5%.

• Raw material prices have continued to rise during April-June. Higher raw material prices, the weakening of the Swedish krona and costs related to the Sköllersta expansion project weighed on Atria Sweden's result.

• Sales volumes remained stable, but it has not been possible to pass on price increases sufficiently to customers in a tight market environment.

• The expansion of the Sköllersta plant was completed during the reporting period. • The EBIT for the comparison period includes a non-recurring gain of EUR 9.9 million on the sale of the factory property in Malmö and a nonrecurring recovery of EUR 1.0 million in pension contributions.

In January-June the growth of net sales in local currencies, excluding the Russian fast-food business, was almost 10%. Sales price increases strengthened net sales.

• EBIT was weighed down by higher costs and weaker consumer purchasing power resulting from inflation. Consumers prefer products in the lower price range. The sales price increases have not been sufficient to cover rapidly rising costs.

Atria Sweden

  • In January–June, the sales value of all Atria product groups in the Swedish retail sector increased.
  • In terms of value, the sausage market grew by 8.0%, the cold cuts market by 7.4% and the poultry products market by 4.7%.

Outlook for the future

  • Atria Group's adjusted EBIT in 2023 is expected to be smaller 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.
