"The diversification of Greenyard Food through the combination with Univeg and Peatinvest has strengthened the company in a challenging market, which the Prepared segment is experiencing," according to CEO Marleen Vaesen in the press report. "The solid results of both Fresh and Other are exceptional despite the integration in the new group and underline the quality of the business models and the huge dedications of the management teams."

REBITDa decreased by 14/9 percent to 72.5 million Euro. Univeg (identified by Fresh) and Peatinvest (Other) performed the same as last year. The decrease is mainly due to Prepared (Greenyard). The net debt was repaid and fell by 15.6 percent to 415.4 million Euro.
Univeg performed as expected and was able to cover the loss of a large customer (with a value of 300 million Euro turnover). The turnover within this division was 1.6 billion Euro (LFL). With this, the division is worth 82.9 percent of the turnover. On a like-for-like bases (LFL) the turnover increased by 1.4 percent compared to the half year a year previously.
