Raisio plc

Oikein hyvää alkuviltapäivää täältä Raisiosta, ja tervetuloa kuulemaan Raision ensimmäisen vuosineidenneksen tuloksesta ja kuulumisesta ylipäätään. Kuten muistetaan, niin vuosi sitten keväällä elettiin varsin dramaattisia aikoja Venäjän oikeudettoman hyökkäyksen johdosta, ja sillä oli hyvin merkittävät vaikutukset myöskin Raision to the operating environment. The fact that in the new year 2022 we started to know about the weak rain, and the prices that followed that, and then the prices that followed the war, rose by roughly two and a half times during the spring, and of course it had a very big impact as a central raw material. But now, in the first year of ELNES 2023, we can say with good reason that we succeeded in returning to a acceptable level of profitability, even though the conditions are still very challenging. The profit and loss of business In Q1, we achieved a turnover of EUR 56.5 million, with a growth of roughly 6%. The profitability was significantly improved, up to EUR 4.2 million. In terms of turnover, the turnover was EUR 6.7 million, Vastaavat luvut 1,5-3,9 miljoonaa euroa. Elovenatuotteiden myynti Suomessa kasvoi erinomaisesti suhteessa vertaulukauteen. Tässä erityisesti meidän syksyllä 2021 käyttöön otettu kokonaan uusi Greenfield-tehdas täällä Raisioossa. Juotavien ja lusikoitavien kasvipohjaisten tuotteiden tehdas vauhditti tätä kasvua. Viime vuonna johtuen näistä ennennäkemättömistä raaka-ainekustannusten ja muiden kustannusten noususta, niiden seurauksena olimme tietysti pakotettuja kohottamaan myyntihintojamme varsin voimakkaasti. Näillä toimin saavutimme liikevaihdon kasvua ja kohentuneen kannattavuuden. At the same time, it is worth noting that the investments in sales and marketing at the end of the fourth quarter were significantly greater than during the comparison period. The growth of the daily income is directly due to the increased prices of raw materials. However, the money flow turned out to be seemingly positive in the first quarter of the first quarter. We have done a very well-planned development of Raisio, which has involved a few years of very large investments in terms of trade. And now, as planned, they are at a lower level, which can also be seen in the first quarter of the year. After all, as you can see from this, the central recognitions are very strong. and are, of course, an excellent thing in this market environment, that the balance is truly impact-sustaining. We believe and know that the level of the consumer capital has changed dramatically as we move forward, and we will achieve good development in the cash flow. but at the moment they are at a very high historical level due to the reasons that have been mentioned. In February, we gave a report that we are looking forward to a comparable turnover rate and profit growth from last year. This is still our view when we look at the whole year. In terms of profit, on the 24th, Räisio's company meeting decided according to the presentation of the government, 14 euros per cent of the stock, which has been paid to the owners of the stock today. This was a basic share of 8 cents according to the share policy, and then 6 euros per cent of additional shares. The government also outlined that Raisio aims, in part due to its share of profits, until the end of this strategy period. In other words, until the end of the spring of 2026, the total share will remain the same. That is, at the level of 14 cents, until the end of the fiscal year 2025. This means that we want to indicate to the owners a stable share flow and managed share production. Every spring, of course, there are, as we all know, decision-making sessions for the company meetings. Health and food needs are our business segment, which focuses on the sale of branded products on European retail channels. Our most important market areas are Finland, Great Britain, Ireland, Ukraine and Poland. In addition, we have sales and sales personnel in Sweden, Denmark and the Baltic countries, who are also part of our active sales area. The share of sales in Central and Eastern Europe has, after the end of the Russian trade, remained unquestionably, so Western Europe and Northern Europe make up part of the P2C trade. Länsi-Eurooppa-aavistuksen mollivoittoinen Iso-Britannia on ylivoimaisesti suurin Länsi-Euroopan markkinoista meille. Siellä tunnetusti on erittäin hurja inflaatio myöskin Ruoan osalta. Siinä on ollut vaikutuksensa kokonaismarkkinaan ja sitä kautta myöskin meidän tuotteiden kysyntään. Pohjois-Euroopassa edelleen The numbers are showing well in Koilissa. That's why Finland is the most significant market in Northern Europe. Performance has been good. Here you can see the results from four previous years. The turnover of the Health and Welfare Department increased by about 4%. In terms of turnover, there has been a significant improvement of over 20%, ending in a 9% turnover of 3.3 million euros. I have already mentioned the magnificent sales growth of Elovena products, which has continued for several years. Last year, in all, sales rose to almost 9 million euros. with the same rapid growth. Benekol and Herkis, which are two of our other weight point brands, both faced volume challenges during the comparison period, but the positive thing is that we have managed to maintain the value share or even improve it in some categories. All in all, as for all of us who actively monitor the markets, we know that consumer mobility has been a real experience and has also contributed to consumer habits in a very significant way. Healthy ingredients present us with Finnish crops and country products for B2B customers both in Finland and abroad. In addition, the licensing of the Venekol component is a significant business activity in this segment. In terms of fish fishing, last year after the Russian attack, we stopped selling to Russia, and in October we decided to establish it sellable business. After a long diversification process, we were able to tell the new owner about it this year in February. The operation continues very intensively with the new owner, which is, of course, a great thing. As for the results, last year, during the comparison, the business result was really at the zero level. Of course, the price of raw material was the most significant factor, and now it was clearly increased to the normal level. Sales increased by almost 4%. The value of sales increased as raw material prices moved to sales prices. At the same time, Suomen vuoden 2200 osoittautui sekä laadultaan että määrältään hyväksi, ja se on edistänyt myllyjen tuotannon tehokkuutta ja saantoa, ja sitä kautta kustannuspainetta helpottanut. Kuitenkin on merkille pantavaa, että katsauskaudella viljan hinnat ovat Suomessa laskeneet, ainakin tarjoushinnat, Kauppaa ei tällä hetkellä juurikaan käydä. Siinä mielessä tarjoushinnat ovat varsin nimellisiä. Koska viime vuonna syyspuolella joudumme tietysti tankkaamaan raaka-ainetta merkittävästi vaikean satokauden jälkeen, niin se mahdollinen tuleva todellinen hintojen lasku ei tule vaikuttamaan Raision kustannustasossa vielä. in the coming months. Even in difficult situations, it is very important that companies have a clear strategy, and Seraisio does indeed have one. We continue to implement our strategy in detail, and even though the circumstances are very different, we believe that the central megatrends mentioned on the right side will continue to have an impact on the question of Raisio's products. Last year in December, we set economic goals for the end of 2025, and we are still standing behind them, even though 2023 will be very challenging in terms of volume. But we are working hard all the time. to achieve these goals. At the beginning of the year, 12 new articles have also been released, of which you can see a few examples here. A gentle, fresh, easy-to-use and very versatile and delicious vegetable protein, which has been designed to suit to be easy to use and healthy and nutritious protein for the Finnish recipe. The Elowena grapes have reached the market leader in the market for plant proteins, plant-based, soluble products, and it is no wonder that you can taste them and know where it comes from. and according to our strategy and responsibility program, I am proud to say that these products have been approved by the Heart Association. The heart mark tells its own strong story that they are healthier choices in the product group. After all, the episode has been very turbulent, but we continue our intention viitoittamalla tiellä ja etenemme suunnitelmallisesti, vaikka olosuhteet ovatkin aika ajoin hyvin haasteellisia. Kiitoksia omasta puolestani. Toivotan oikein hyvää tulevaa kesää ja menestystä toimissanne. Kiitos.
