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 |

| *Extraordinary items are included in the reported figures. 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. |
