Inside information, positive profit warning: Apetit upgrades its profit guidance for 2023 for operating profit from continuing operations
Apetit upgrades its profit guidance for 2023 for operating profit from continuing operations. Apetit expects the full-year operating profit from continuing operations to clearly improve year-on-year (EUR 3.5 million in 2022).
In Oilseed Products, raw material sourcing has been successful throughout the year. International crush margins have been at an elevated level during the entire calendar year, and stabilization of margins is not expected to happen during the remaining financial year.
In Food Solutions, the sales have developed favorably. The impact of inflation, which has limited profit development, has successfully been moderated. The harvesting season, which is a key profit driver for Food Solutions, has progressed in a way that limits the risk during the current financial year from previous estimate.
Upgraded profit guidance for 2023:
The full-year operating profit from continuing operations is expected to clearly improve year-on-year (EUR 3.5 million in 2022).
Previous profit guidance for 2023 (published 16 February 2023 and repeated 17 August 2023):
The full-year operating profit from continuing operations is expected to improve year-on-year (EUR 3.5 million in 2022).
