Profitability - Q3 2016

Normalised EBITDA8 of Euro 8.7 million (8.3% of Revenue) slightly reduced (-4.0%) on the same period of 2015 (Euro 9.1 million). Procurement and productivity programme efficiencies, together with the generation of a slight profit on the basis of currency movements, were offset by higher overhead costs related to the major own brand focus and the development of the production structure. The combined effect of overall volumes and the price-mix on the margin was substantially in line with Q3 2015.

Q3 2016 EBITDA of Euro 7.1 million compared to Euro 8.8 million for Q3 2015 and was significantly impacted by costs for the agreement reached with the outgoing Chief Executive Officer totalling Euro 1.7 million.

Normalised EBIT9 totalled Euro 4.0 million, compared to Euro 4.7 million for the same period of 2015, reducing 14.5% - in line with the business dynamics outlined above. EBIT was Euro 2.3 million, compared to Euro 4.4 million in 2015.
