Borregaard: Decline in Performance Chemicals, improvement in Speciality Cellulose and Other Businesses
October 24 2017 - 1:00AM
Borregaard's operating revenues were NOK 1,089
million (NOK 1,102 million)¹ in the 3rd quarter of
2017. EBITA adj.2 was NOK 197
million (NOK 216 million). Speciality Cellulose and Other
Businesses improved their result compared with the corresponding
quarter of last year, whereas Performance Chemicals had a decline.
Net currency impact for the Group, including hedging effects, was
negligible. Depreciation, raw material and chemicals costs
increased.
In Performance Chemicals, effects of reallocation
in response to challenging construction markets in some regions and
higher fixed costs were the main reasons for the lower result. The
improved result in Speciality Cellulose was mainly due to increased
sales prices, while higher sales and better product mix in Fine
Chemicals contributed to the improved EBITA adj. in Other
Businesses.
Profit before tax was NOK 190 million (NOK 205
million). Earnings per share were NOK 1.47 (NOK 1.57).
- Performance Chemicals'
result was affected by the challenging construction market in some
regions. However, we are pleased to note that the positive
development continued for lignin specialities, Speciality Cellulose
and Other Businesses, says President and CEO Per A. Sørlie.
