"We are very pleased with the increase in our net profit. This was realised thanks to, in part, the continuous positive effects of our refinancing and tax savings. Our net debt has also been reduced despite the major investments in the expansion of our activities", said a satisfied Marleen Vaesen, CEO of Greenyard, in reaction to the figures.
The company's turnover decreased slightly by 2,4% and ended on EUR 2,09 billion. This was at EUR 2,14 billion the previous year. This decrease is largely due to the bad weather, which negatively affected the performances in the Fresh, and Long Fresh segments. In addition, the pressure on prices of Prepared, part of Long Fresh, continues to be a factor.
