Group guidance for the full year confirmed

Quarterly Report 19.06.2018

Vienna - In the first quarter of 2018|19 (1 March to 31 May 2018), AGRANA's operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 37.0 million (Q1 2017|18: EUR 69.8 million). The significant decline was due to lower selling prices for sugar and isoglucose as well as lower ethanol prices, thereby resulting in a decline in revenues to EUR 630.3 million (Q1 2017|18: EUR 684.2 million).

The guidance for the full 2018|19 financial year, indicating a significant decline in consolidated EBIT, is confirmed. Due to falling selling prices for bioethanol and starch-based saccharification products, a significant (rather than a moderate) decline in earnings is now anticipated in the Starch segment.

Further details on the course of business in the first quarter of 2018|19, along with more detailed information on the individual segments, will be published by the Group as planned on 12 July 2018.
