  • Atria Finland's Q1 net sales were at the same level as last year. EBIT showed a clear year-on-year improvement.

  • The decline in consumer demand caused by the economic recession has not been significant in Atria's product groups. There has been some signs of a shift towards less expensive products.

Atria Finland

  • The market shares of Atria products in poultry, cooking sausages and retailpacked meat have grown.
  • Salmonella cases have not weaken the raw material supply of Atria Finland.
  • The price development of rawmaterials has stabilized.

  • Atria Russia's year-on-year sales increased significantly, mainly due to the consolidation of Campomos. The negative EBIT of Campomos weighed down the result of Atria Russia.
  • The Q1-period result was weighed down by the weakening of the Russian rouble, which however stabilized during the period of February to March. Due to the weak rouble, prices of imported raw-material remained high.
  • The Q1 result includes non-recurring costs relating to integration and takeover in the amount of EUR 2,7 million.
  • During the review period, Atria Russia launched an efficiency improvement program of organization. There will be a net reduction of personnel of about 180 persons by the end of June, resulting to annual cost savings of approximately EUR 4 million, excluding non-recurring redundancy related items.
  • The synergies of the St Petersburg and Moscow plants will be more effectively utilized, and products and customerships with poor profitability will be discontinued.

Atria Russia

  • The market share in the mordern retail trade in the St Petersburg economic area continued to grow.
  • The start-up of the new production plant in Gorelovo, St Petersburg, is expected to take place during 2009.
  • The integration of Campomos and Pit-Product is progressing as planned. Operative functions were merged.
  • During Q2 there will be increases in sales prices of about 10%.
  • Atria aims to have company's EBIT back in the black during 2010.

  • Atria Baltic's net sales showed a significant increase due to the acquisitions of last year.
  • Atria's performance in the Estonia remained at an unsatisfactory level. This was due to the reduced demand and decreased sales volymes, resulting from the general recession.
  • During the review period reorganization of production has been carried out. The re-organization measures will start generating savings not until the end of 2009. Annual savings expectations are approximately EUR 1.4 million.

Atria Group Equity ratio & Net gearing

Events occurring after the review period

• After the review period, Atria has decided to discontinue the loss-making business operations of the Lätta Måltider unit, in Sweden.

Outlook for the future

  • The recession will have some effect on sales volumes, particularly in the more expensive product groups. Discontinuation of the salad and sandwich business in Sweden and of the unprofitable customerships in Russia, as well as the weakened Swedish krona and Russian rouble, will result in a decrease in the Group's net sales in euros. The net sales of the entire Group in 2009 are therefore forecast to remain at the 2008 level.
  • Because of the international economic situation, there is considerable uncertainty related to the result prognosis. Due to the loss-making Campomos and the weakened rouble, Atria Russia's performance will remain significantly below last year's level. The performance of the other business areas does not entirely cover the Russian earnings development, and the Group's EBIT for the entire year is expected to remain somewhat below last year's level.
