VERBIO AG: Significant increase in EBITDA forecast for the financial year 2021/2022 to approximately EUR 500 million - strong demand for advanced 2nd generation biofuels

Zörbig/Leipzig, June 28th, 2022 – Based on the business performance to date as well as the current level of sales and raw material prices, the Management Board expects to achieve an EBITDA of approximately EUR 500 million in the financial year 2021/2022. The brisk global demand for CO2 saving biofuels is causing persistently high price levels, especially for advanced 2nd generation biofuels.
