Interim Report Q3 2012

JANUARY 1–SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (compared with the same period a year ago)The packaging operations that were divested on June 30, 2012, are reported for the current and preceding year only as a separate line item in the income statement – Net profit for the period from disposal group. Comments in this report are thus entirely exclusive of the packaging operations. The formation of a joint venture in Australia/New Zealand through the sale of 50% of the shares and a deconsolidation of the operations from the start of the year constitutes the divestment that is referred to in this report.
