quarterly report
25.06.2012
For the first three months of 2012|13, AGRANA reports an increase in
consolidated revenues compared to the prior year from approx. EUR 613 million to
approx. EUR 775 million. The operating profit after exceptional items rose
compared to the prior period from EUR 61.6 million to EUR 70.9 million.
Due to the high degree of volatility in terms of commodity and selling prices
forecast in the coming quarters, the Company's guidance for the full year, a
bottom-line result slightly below the solid performance of the previous year,
remains unchanged.
As scheduled, the Group will be publishing further details of the development
of business and additional information on the various segments on 12 July 2012.
