Results

In 2018, Rosier Group was unable to continue the progress started in 2017 and had to cope with a significant decrease in its activities in Europe.

Following trends were observed during most of the year:

• In Europe, the demand for mineral fertilizers increased by 1% on the major markets while the imports mostly from Russia and North Africa decreased by 4% in comparison with previous year. Despite this evolution, there was still an oversupply situation, putting pressure on volumes and prices.
• On the export side, the commercial strategy put in place three years ago has enabled the Company to consolidate its global position.

The Rosier's activities and results in 2018 can be summarized as follow:

• Sales for 2018 totalled MEUR 184.4, a decrease (-6.1%) in comparison to sales of MEUR 196.4² achieved in 2017. The decrease in volumes in Europe (-33%) could not be offset by the increase in export sales (+25%), all products combined.
• The average unit margins are at the same level as in 2017, but the drop in volumes strongly influenced the gross margin, which decreased by MEUR 3.7.
• After deducting operating expenses, which include amortisation and depreciation, the operating result closes to a loss of MEUR 4.3 compared to a profit of MEUR 0.6 in 2017.
• The negative financial result for the period of MEUR 0.3 mainly consists of financial charges on borrowings.
