Mid Year Results/6-month report
24.09.2013
Vienna, 24 September 2013
For H1 2013|14, AGRANA announces an increase in consolidated revenues to EUR
1,674.3 million from EUR 1.603.1 million in the comparable period of the prior
year. The operating result of EUR 108.0 million was markedly lower that in the
prior year (EUR 142.5 million), with the decline being accounted for by higher
commodity prices in the Sugar and Starch segments.
AGRANA continues to assume that the 2013|14 financial year will yield a modest
increase in consolidated revenues which will primarily be attributable to sales
growth. Taking the development of business in the financial year to date into
account, the operating result will be lower than that of the past two extremely
good financial years.
Further details of the development of business and the various segments will be
published by the Group as scheduled on 10 October 2013.
