  • Atria Finland's Q4/2012 net sales showed growth of EUR 14.5 million year-on-year.
  • EBIT for Q4/2012 was EUR 3.9 million higher than the EBIT for the corresponding period last year.
  • Net sales for Q1-Q4/2012 increased by EUR 25.8 million year-on-year.
  • EBIT for Q1-Q4/2012 was EUR 17.2 million higher than the EBIT for the corresponding period last year.
  • This increase was due to improved conditions in the meat market and higher sales prices across all customer accounts. In addition, the sales structure was more favourable and cost savings resulting from efficiency measures improved the performance.

Atria Finland

  • In Atria's own estimate, its retail market share in the fourth quarter increased in cold cuts, poultry, convenience foods and cooking sausages. Atria strengthened its position, with its share of total production exceeding 25 per cent.
  • The new slaughterhouse in Kauhajoki was commissioned at the end of December 2012.
  • Atria's production of cured sausages will be transfered from Finland to Atria Scandinavia's production plant in Denmark. The aim is to improve productivity and thus strengthen the company's position as a cured sausage producer. The Kuopio plant will cease producing cured sausages in autumn 2013.
  • Atria Plc purchased HKScan Finland Oy's shares in pet food manufacturer Best-In Oy. By an agreement Atria Plc acquired the entire share capital of Best-In Oy.

  • Atria Scandinavia's Q4/2012 net sales increased by EUR 5.5 million year-on-year.
  • EBIT for Q4/2012 was EUR 2.3 million lower than in the comparative period.
  • Net sales for Q1-Q4/2012 increased by EUR 12.9 million.
  • EBIT for Q1-Q4/2012 was EUR 5.6 million lower than in the comparative period.
  • The reason for this decrease was the higher price of meat raw material compared with the previous year. Atria has not been able to pass on all of the increased raw material costs to sales prices.

Atria Scandinavia

  • In Sweden, the price of meat raw material has increased significantly. In the past 18 months, the price of boneless pork has seen an increase of 30 per cent and boneless beef 25 per cent (source: Atria).
  • In Sweden, Atria has maintained a steady market share in its key product groups, cooking sausages and cold cuts. In Denmark, Atria has strengthened its hold in the cold cut products (source: AC Nielsen).
  • In January, a programme was launched to improve the profitability of Atria Scandinavia's production of meat products. The programme is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately EUR 1.5 million.

  • EBIT for Q1-Q4/2012 was 10.3 million higher than the EBIT for the corresponding period last year.
