The decrease of Atria Group's net sales was partly due to the sale of the Falbygdens cheese
business and the weakening of the rouble. In addition, tough competition in the retail sector weighed
down net sales.
The challenging market environment in Estonia has weakened profit expectations for Atria Baltic's
business. As a result of this, a goodwill impairment loss of EUR 9.1 million was recorded for Atria
Baltic. The write-down affected EBIT but it had no effect on cash flow.
Consolidated EBIT for the fourth quarter excluding non-recurring items was EUR 13.8 million (EUR
17.0 million).
Full-year EBIT without non-recurring items was EUR 36.1 million (EUR 39.6 million).

  • Atria Finland's net sales for the fourth quarter grew by EUR 4.4 million year-on-year.
  • The increase in net sales is due to successful sales during the Christmas season.
  • Tough price competition in the retail sector and difficult conditions on the international meat market weighed down EBIT for the fourth quarter.
  • Full-year net sales decreased by EUR 16.5 million in comparison with 2014. This decline was due to weaker consumer demand and decreased sales prices.
  • EBIT trends have been weighed down by oversupply on the international meat market.
  • Atria Finland has been able to adapt its own operations to the challenging market environment. Thanks to this, cost-efficiency is good and inventories of meat raw material are under control.
  • In 2015, difficult conditions on the meat market depressed the prices that producers can charge for meat.

The decrease in Atria Scandinavia's net sales and EBIT was due to the sale of the
Falbygdens cheese business, completed on 1 April 2015. The sale will reduce Atria's annual
net sales by EUR 52 million and EBIT by approximately EUR 3 million.
In May, Atria acquired the operations of Aalbaek Specialiteter A/S, a Danish manufacturer of

Atria Russia's net sales in euro terms fell mainly due to the weakening of the rouble.
Net sales in the local currency were at the same level as in the previous year.
Sales growth was weighed down by a further decrease in consumer purchasing power
and consequent negative trends in retail.
Comparable EBIT for the fourth quarter came to EUR -0.4 million (EUR -1.4 million).
Full year comparable EBIT came to EUR -2.1 million (EUR -6.2 million).
EBIT improved thanks to increased productivity and an optimised product selection.
Day-to-day efficiency improvements at the Gorelovo plant and the use of local meat raw
material also served to improve EBIT.

Atria Russia

• In 2015, the Sibylla business continued to grow.

  • Sales volumes in the retail business decreased and Atria lost some of its market share.
  • Atria sold OOO Campoferma, a Russian subsidiary, on 24 June 2015 for EUR 4.5 million. The company owned a farm property near Moscow. Costs of EUR 0.6 million were recorded for the sale as non-recurring items. Additionally, translation differences accrued in equity improved earnings by EUR 2.5 million.
