Q1-Q4 2012 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 360.6 | 360.6 | 1,411.0 | 1.343.6 |
| EBIT | 10.6 | 7.8 | 19.7 | 30.2 |
| EBIT % | 2.9 | 2.2 | 1.4 | 2.2 |
| Profit before taxes | 7.1 | 6.1 | 6.9 | 18.9 |
| Earnings per share, € | 0.33 | 0.18 | -0.15 | 0.35 |
| Extraordinary items* | -2.0 | -0.5 | -17.3 | -0.5 |
* Non-recurring items which are included in the EBIT.
- Atria Group's net sales grew strongly.
- Atria decided to discontinue primary production in Russia and industrial operations in Moscow, concentrating the latter in St Petersburg. As a result of these arrangements, Atria Russia recognised a total of EUR 25.0 million of non-recurring costs, EUR 17.4 million of which was allocated to EBIT and EUR 7.6 million to deferred tax assets. EBIT without non-recurring costs amounted to EUR -3.6 million (EUR -8.6 million).
- It is estimated that the discontinuation of primary production and the Moscow-based production operations will generate annual cost savings of about EUR 6 million compared to 2013. The cost savings will be fully realised as of the beginning of 2015.

| Extraordinary items* | 0.0 | -0.5 | 1.1 | -0.5 |
* Non-recurring items which are included in the EBIT.
- Atria Finland's net sales increased in all sales channels, and growth was particularly strong in the retail sector.
- EBIT was weighed down by deteriorating market conditions at the end of the year, the higher price of meat raw material compared to the previous year and persistently low export prices for meat.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 30.6 | 32.8 | 121.5 | 126.3 |

| EBIT % | -6.0 | -11,8 | -17.3 | -6.8 |
| Extraordinary items* | -2.0 | 0.0 | -17.4 | 0.0 |
* Non-recurring items which are included in the EBIT.
- In the local currency, net sales grew by 2.2 per cent year-on-year.
- The results of industrial operations improved, but EBIT without non-recurring costs was negative due to the poor profitability of primary production.
- Atria Russia discontinued its unprofitable primary pork production in Russia. Furthermore, it was decided that the industrial production and logistics unit located in Moscow will be discontinued by the end of 2014. Atria Russia recognised a total of EUR 25.0 million of nonrecurring costs, EUR 17.4 million of which was allocated to EBIT.
• It is estimated that the discontinuations of unprofitable primary production and the Moscow-based production operations will generate annual cost savings of about EUR 6 million compared to 2013. The cost savings will be fully realised as of the beginning of 2015.
• During the period under review, Atria sold its minority share in OOO Dan-Invest, a piggery company operating in Russia. Atria's holding in the company was 26 per cent. The deal had no major impact on Atria's financial position or performance.

- The positive performance was due to the improved sales structure and the cost savings resulting from efficiency improvement measures.
- In Estonia, imports of inexpensive meat grew towards the end of the year, reducing the sales of Atria's consumer-packed meat and profitability for the review period.
