Hochdorf Holding AG reported production and sales results for the full year of 2012. For the period, the company processed last year 423.4 million kg of liquid produce, a decrease of 2.9% compared to the previous year's 435.8 million kg. The sales volume also remained largely stable at 90,196 tonnes. Gross sales revenue was CHF 346.0 million, only decrease of 0.2% below the previous year's figure of CHF 346.6 million. The main reason for the slight decline was the reduced supply of milk in the months from September to December. A larger amount of whey was processed during this period to ensure the plants ran at full capacity. The amount of products sold non-consolidated 90,196 tonnes continued in line with the previous year's level of 91,766 tonnes.

The group achieved gross sales revenue of CHF 346.0 million against CHF 346.6 million a year ago.

The operative result at the EBIT level will be higher than the previous year's value.
