Atria Group's net sales for January–March amounted to EUR 327.0 million (EUR 328.4 million). Net sales fell by EUR -1.4 million year-on-year. EBIT came to EUR -2.5 million (EUR 3.2 million). EBIT includes EUR 0.8 million of non-recurring cost related to the takeover of the operations acquired from Saarioinen Oy. The EBIT for the comparative period contains EUR 1.1 million of non-recurring profit.
During the period under review, Atria acquired Saarioinen Oy's procurement, slaughtering and cutting operations for beef, pork and chicken. The purchase price was EUR 29.2 million. The deal consolidates Atria's position as a processing company of domestic meat and complements Atria's existing operations and product range. A long-term cooperation agreement for meat deliveries to Saarioinen will increase the efficiency of production operations. The acquisition raised the capacity of the growing poultry operations. The acquired operations were consolidated into Atria as of 1 February 2014. Investments during the period under review totalled EUR 37.5 million (EUR 8.8 million). The Group's free cash flow for the period (operating cash flow - cash flow from investments) was EUR -23.5 million (EUR -3.8 million), and net liabilities were EUR 325.9 million (31 December 2013: EUR 305.9 million).
Atria lowered its EBIT forecast in April after the period under review. The company expects the 2014 EBIT without non-recurring items to be clearly smaller than the previous year's EBIT of EUR 37.0 million. Net sales are expected to grow in 2014. According to Atria's previous EBIT forecast for 2014, the Group's EBIT was projected to be higher than the previous year's operative EBIT of EUR 37.0 million and net sales were expected to grow.
The EBIT forecast was adjusted due to the difficult conditions in the Finnish and Russian meat markets. A glut of pork and tougher competition have decreased sales prices both in Finland and elsewhere in the EU. As a result, Atria Finland's performance in the first quarter was not as expected. Russia's import ban on EU pork and the weakening of the rouble have raised the price of meat raw material in Russia by an average of 30 per cent from the beginning of the year. Because of the tight market situation, Atria Russia has not been able to pass on the rapidly increased raw material costs to sales prices.
Atria Finland's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 216.9 million (EUR 205.1 million), up by EUR 11.8 million year-on-year. This increase was a result of higher sales volumes to retailers and Food Service customers, along with the consolidation of the operations acquired from Saarioinen into Atria as of February. The EUR 0.2 million EBIT (EUR 6.7 million) was EUR 6.5 million lower than in the comparative period. EBIT includes EUR 0.8 million of non-recurring cost related to the takeover of the operations acquired from Saarioinen Oy. The EBIT for the comparative period contains EUR 1.1 million of non-recurring profit. The results for the period under review were weighed down by a decrease in sales prices due to tougher competition and the glut of pork. Since consumers have less purchasing power, they buy more affordable products, which has resulted in fierce price competition across all customer accounts.
Atria Scandinavia's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 88.4 million (EUR 94.2 million). At comparable exchange rates, net sales fell by 2.4 per cent year-on-year. Net sales were weighed down by an increase in the market share of more inexpensive private label products in Sweden and the shift of the Easter season to the second quarter. EBIT amounted to EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.1 million). EBIT improved due to the increased efficiency of production, better sales structure and more stable meat raw material prices.
Atria Russia's net sales for January–March amounted to EUR 21.3 million (EUR 27.4 million), representing a drop of 22.1 per cent. At a comparable exchange rate, net sales fell by 3.3 per cent year-on-year. This decrease in comparable net sales was due to the discontinuation of primary production late last year. EBIT was EUR -2.2 million (EUR -3.1 million). EBIT was weighed down by an increase of almost 30 per cent in meat raw material prices during the first quarter.
Atria Baltic's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 7.4 million (EUR 7.2 million), showing growth of EUR 0.2 million year-on-year. EBIT was EUR -0.2 million (EUR -0.4 million), up by EUR 0.2 million from the previous year.

Atria Finland's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 216.9 million (EUR 205.1 million), up by EUR 11.8 million year-on-year. This increase was a result of higher sales volumes to retailers and Food Service customers, along with the consolidation of the operations acquired from Saarioinen into Atria as of February. The EUR 0.2 million EBIT (EUR 6.7 million) was EUR 6.5 million lower than in the comparative period. EBIT includes EUR 0.8 million of non-recurring cost related to the takeover of the operations acquired from Saarioinen Oy. The EBIT for the comparative period contains EUR 1.1 million of non-recurring profit. The result for the period under review was weighed down by a decrease in sales prices due to tougher competition and the glut of pork. Since consumers have less purchasing power, they buy more affordable products, which has resulted in fierce price competition across all customer accounts. Meanwhile, the difficult situation in the meat market has lowered the price of meat raw material compared to the previous year.
Atria consolidated its market position across all customer accounts compared to the same period last year. Atria's total market share in retail trade was more than 27 per cent in terms of value.
On 21 January 2014, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority announced its approval of the deal between Atria and Saarioinen Oy. Atria acquired Saarioinen's procurement, slaughtering and cutting operations for beef, pork and chicken. The deal transferred the chicken production building in Sahalahti (Kangasala) and the machinery and equipment of the Jyväskylä slaughterhouse to Atria. The parties confirmed the deal in January, and the operations were consolidated into Atria as of 1 February 2014. The purchase price was EUR 29.2 million. The operations covered by the deal employ about 400 people on average. As a result of the deal, Atria's net sales are projected to grow by around EUR 70 million per year. The arrangement consolidates Atria's position as a processing company of domestic meat and complements Atria's existing operations and product range. A long-term cooperation agreement for meat deliveries to Saarioinen will increase the efficiency of production operations. The acquisition raised the capacity of the growing poultry operations.
During the period under review, Atria launched a development project in order to improve Atria Finland's beef and pork production profitability and to increase efficiency at Atria's Jyväskylä plant. Atria estimates that removing overlapping functions and improving efficiency will result in annual savings of about EUR 5 million, which will be realised from the beginning of 2015. This will mean the reduction of 59 person-years. Employer–employee negotiations were completed on 24 April 2014.
The projects in Atria's Handprint programme are progressing according to plan. Shared values were discussed with all employees, and a new Atria Way of Work model was created.
In March, Atria published a comprehensive Corporate Responsibility Report.

Atria Scandinavia's net sales for January–March amounted to EUR 88.4 million (EUR 94.2 million). At comparable exchange rates, net sales fell by 2.4 per cent year-on-year. Net sales were weighed down by an increase in the market share of more inexpensive private label products in Sweden and the shift of the Easter season to the second quarter. The Swedish cold cuts market declined by about 5 per cent and the cooking sausages market by some 2 per cent. EBIT amounted to EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.1 million). EBIT improved due to the increased efficiency of production, better sales structure and more stable meat raw material prices.
During the period under review, the market share of the 3-Stjernet cold cuts rose to 15 per cent in the Danish retail market (source: AC Nielsen). In the Swedish retail sector, the market share of private label products grew substantially in the product groups represented by Atria. In line with its strategy, Atria Scandinavia focuses on the sale of branded products with a higher degree of processing. The company aims to achieve growth in the sales of Sibylla products through international expansion and strengthening of the brand.
The Atria Handprint programme focused on discussing shared values and ways of work.

Atria Russia's net sales for January–March amounted to EUR 21.3 million (EUR 27.4 million), representing a drop of 22.1 per cent. At a comparable exchange rate, net sales fell by 3.3 per cent year-on-year. This decrease in comparable net sales was due to the discontinuation of primary production late last year. EBIT was EUR -2.2 million (EUR -3.1 million). EBIT was weighed down by an increase of almost 30 per cent in meat raw material prices during the first quarter.
The market situation was difficult during the period under review. Russia's import ban on EU pork and the weakening of the rouble have raised the price of meat raw material in Russia by an average of 30 per cent from the beginning of the year. Because of the tight market situation, Atria Russia has not been able to pass on the rapidly increased raw material costs in full to sales prices.
* Non-recurring items are included in the reported figures.
Atria Baltic's net sales for January–March totalled EUR 7.4 million (EUR 7.2 million), showing growth of EUR 0.2 million year-on-year. EBIT was EUR -0.2 million (EUR -0.4 million), up by EUR 0.2 million from the previous year. This slight increase in EBIT was due to successful long-term efforts to increase the efficiency of production and a better sales structure.
On 31 March 2014, the amount of the Group's undrawn committed credit facilities stood at EUR 148.7 million (31 December 2013: EUR 148.2 million). The average maturity of loans and committed credit facilities at the end of the period under review was 3 years 2 months (31 December 2013: 3 years 4 months).
The Group's operating cash flow was EUR 13.7 million (EUR 2.4 million) and cash flow from investments EUR -37.2 million (EUR -6.1 million). A decrease in the working capital improved the operating cash flow. During the period under review, Atria acquired Saarioinen Oy's procurement, slaughtering and cutting operations for beef, pork and chicken. The purchase price was EUR 29.2 million. Investments during the period under review totalled EUR 37.5 million (EUR 8.8 million). The Group's free cash flow for the period (operating cash flow - cash flow from investments) was EUR -23.5 million (EUR -3.8 million), and net liabilities were EUR 325.9 million (31 December 2013: EUR 305.9 million). Equity ratio was 40.6 per cent (31 December 2013: 42.2%).
Atria lowered its EBIT forecast. The company expects the 2014 EBIT without non-recurring items to be clearly smaller than the previous year's EBIT of EUR 37.0 million. Net sales are expected to grow in 2014. According to Atria's previous EBIT forecast for 2014, the Group's EBIT was projected to be higher than EUR 37.0 million and net sales were expected to grow.
The EBIT forecast was adjusted due to the difficult conditions in the Finnish and Russian meat markets. A glut of pork and tougher competition have decreased sales prices both in Finland and elsewhere in the EU. As a result, Atria Finland's earnings in the first quarter were not as expected. Russia's import ban on EU pork and the weakening of the rouble have raised the price of meat raw material in Russia by an average of 30 per cent from the beginning of the year. Because of the tight market situation, Atria Russia has not been able to pass on the rapidly increased raw material costs to sales prices.
Atria Finland's employer–employee negotiations regarding the improvement of beef and pork production profitability and efficiency improvements at Atria's Jyväskylä plant were completed on 24 April 2014. Atria estimates that removing overlapping functions and improving efficiency will result in annual savings of about EUR 5 million, which will be realised from the beginning of 2015. This will mean the reduction of 59 personyears.
Chinese authorities granted the Atria Scandinavia production plant located in Horsens, Denmark a licence to export heat treated meat products to China. The Horsens plant is one of the three meat product plants in the world that has been awarded such a licence.
The Group had an average of 4,707 employees (4,670) during the period under review. Personnel by business area:
| Atria Finland | 2,282 | (2,007) |

On 21 January 2014, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority announced its approval of Atria's acquisition of Saarioinen Oy's procurement, slaughtering and cutting operations for beef, pork and chicken. In conjunction with the deal, Atria and Saarioinen signed an agreement concerning meat deliveries from Atria to Saarioinen.
The operations covered by the deal employ about 400 people on average. As a result of the deal, Atria's net sales are projected to grow by around EUR 70 million per year. The purchase price was EUR 29.2 million. The acquisition had no material effect on the Group's key figures.
The deal consolidates Atria's position as a processing company of domestic meat and complements Atria's existing operations and product range. A long-term cooperation agreement for meat deliveries to Saarioinen will increase the efficiency of production operations. The acquisition raised the capacity of the growing poultry operations. The operations were consolidated into Atria as of 1 February 2014.
