AB Akola Group's Remarkable Financial Performance

The company achieved consolidated revenue exceeding EUR 1,165 million, which showcases a solid 3.59% increase compared to last year's figures.

Adding to this success, the Group's consolidated EBITDA surpassed EUR 71 million, amplifying by 34.83% year-over-year, while net profit more than doubled at EUR 31.8 million. This substantial growth indicates the company's resilience and effective positioning within the market, as they sold 2,417 thousand tons of diverse products.

Insights into Quarterly Growth

Looking at the third quarter specifically, AB Akola Group reported a revenue of EUR 404.2 million, reflecting a notable 3.96% enhancement from previous figures. The gross profit for the quarter surged from EUR 32.1 million to EUR 47.9 million, alongside an operating profit climb from EUR 6.3 million to EUR 18.3 million. Thus, net profit reached EUR 12.7 million, a striking turnaround from a loss in the same period the previous year.

Success Across Business Segments

Mažvydas Šileika, Chief Financial Officer of AB Akola Group, expressed satisfaction with these results, stating that although the quantity of products sold increased modestly, profitability saw significant enhancements. Three out of four business segments recorded profitable operations, with the poultry segment notably standing out as a key driver of success during this timeframe.

Partnership with Farmers

The "Partnership with Farmers" segment emerged as the cornerstone of the Group's operations, generating robust revenue exceeding EUR 851.7 million. This segment contributed a significant 68.1% to the Group's total revenue. Gross profit reached EUR 65.4 million, with operating profit rising to EUR 20.8 million compared to EUR 19.2 million from the year before.

Notably, while the volume of grain purchases saw a slight reduction, the overall trading performance improved. Wheat sales remained consistent, making up the majority of the portfolio, while the sale of rapeseed saw a minor decrease. The gross profit from grain and oilseed trading surged by 33%, reflecting the healthy market performance. Fertilizer sales also rose, indicating an increase in agricultural activity.

Food Production Segment Growth

The performance of the "Food Production" segment was equally impressive, with revenues exhibiting a significant year-on-year increase of 10.7%. Operating profits reached EUR 24.985 million, while gross profit swelled notably to EUR 57.5 million. The poultry sector was especially impactful, witnessing a 92.9% escalation in gross profit to EUR 44.46 million. The favorable conditions, including lower feed prices and heightened market demand, have amplified this segment’s profitability.

Future Outlook and Investments

Despite the positive financial outlook, challenges remain evident, particularly in the agricultural machinery market, which has experienced stagnation. However, with the arrival of spring and expectations of a fruitful harvest, there appears to be a promising uptick in the demand for agricultural machinery.

Moreover, the Group is excited about the potential of new investments in agricultural technologies and processes aimed at enhancing productivity across all segments.
