VERBIO Vereinigte BioEnergie AG provided earnings guidance for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The company will report a group period result according to IFRS of negative EUR 143.3 million as at 31 March 2013. The result in the amount of negative EUR 102.3 million is due to amortisations of goodwill, customer relations and depreciations of fixed assets, each without effects on liquidity, negative EUR 14.2 million from value adjustments to be applied to inventories, and negative EUR 10.8 million from lesser proceeds from the sale of biofuel quotas in the third quarter.

The Management Board expects to be able to accomplish a positive operative result in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
