Camposol Holding Plc reports First Quarter 2013 Results
May 16 2013 - 2:00AM
Camposol Holding Plc. reported
sales of 40.6 million, up 8.1% from Q112 mainly due to an increase
in volume sold of fresh mango and higher prices of fresh white
asparagus.
During the first quarter of 2013,
EBITDA before fair value adjustments (b.f.v.a.) was USD 4.0
million, 11.2% higher than Q112. EBITDA (b.f.v.a.) margin increased
to 9.9%.
During the first quarter of 2013,
asparagus gross margin increased in USD 1.8MM compared to 2012
mainly from the fresh season, in which our entire volume was sold
through our commercial office in Europe directly to retail
chains.
As of March 31st, the
Company maintained a Cash Balance of USD 23.0 million.
The long term growth prospects for
exotic fruits & vegetables markets are excellent. Avocado
and mango are growing, with headroom for increased per capita
consumption in key markets. In the case of asparagus,
although consumption is stable, supply is falling due mainly to
reduced exports from China.
Company expects good demand for
all fresh produce in general and for avocado specifically in both
the United States and Europe.
The Company is currently focused
on adding value to its clients through commercial, marketing and
service initiatives which should result on higher margins.
Additionally, CAMPOSOL is
analyzing new opportunities to consolidate its leadership through
additional planting of current crops, planting of new crops,
strategic alliances and acquisitions.
CAMPOSOL will continue positioning
itself in the US market, the largest and fastest growing market for
avocado in the world, now open for Peruvian produce and in other
markets with high growth potential.
