Borregaard: Progress in all business areas
February 10 2017 - 1:00AM
Borregaard's 4th
quarter results
Borregaard's operating revenues reached NOK 1,110
million (NOK 1,034 million)1 in the
4th quarter of
2016. EBITA adjusted2 increased to
NOK 160 million (NOK 101 million). Compared with the 4th quarter of
2015, all business areas improved their EBITA adjusted. Currency
contributed to higher results.
Performance Chemicals increased EBITA adjusted,
mainly due to positive currency effects and an improved product
mix. Weaker demand and increased price competition in the
construction sector were offset by higher sales of speciality
products. The improvement in Speciality Cellulose was mainly due to
higher sales volume and currency effects. Other Businesses improved
results primarily due to higher sales in the Fine Chemicals
business and reduced net Exilva costs.
Profit before tax was NOK 151 million (NOK 130
million). Earnings per share in the 4th quarter
increased to NOK 1.23 (NOK 1.08).
Full year 2016
Operating revenues in 2016 reached NOK 4,492 million (NOK 4,164
million). EBITA adjusted increased to NOK 747 million (NOK 497
million), an all-time high result. Profit before tax was NOK 724
