PRF: Unaudited consolidated turnover of AS PRFoods for 2nd quarter and 6 months of 2017

Tallinn, Estonia, 2017-07-14 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

In the Q2 2017 the unaudited consolidated sales revenue of PRFoods increased by +33.9% y-o-y, i.e. by +3.3 million euros, reaching the level of 13.1 million euros. PRFoods is very pleased with increase of Q2 sales. Majority of growth in sales is contributed to increasing prices for our products. As raw material prices increased for last 9 months, in order to maintain our margins, it was necessary to increase also our sales prices and this process is being executed. Salmon prices have started to decrease, which hopefully will help to boost our margins in Q3 and Q4. Rainbow trout prices have remained stable, which could positively affect our own fish farming business. One must remain cautious as volatility in raw material prices continues as does global demand for fish, hence access to sustainable and price competitive raw material is very important. The planned acquisition of John Ross Jr. and Coln Valley should further support of strategy of international growth and profitability.
