Message

PRFoodsi    2021/2022. aasta    esimese    kvartali    auditeerimata    esialgne
konsolideeritud  käive oli  14,32 miljonit eurot  suurenedes eelmise  aasta sama
perioodiga  võrreldes  12,8% (1kv  2020/2021: 12,7 miljonit  eurot),  sealhulgas
müügitõus  hulgimüügis  63,3% ja  HoReCa  sektoris  16,8%. Samuti suurenes käive

Indrek Kasela, PRFoods AS juhataja kommentaar:

?Akuutse  koroonakriisi vaibumisel, oleme  sisenenud perioodi, mida iseloomustab
inflatsioon,  taastunud  ja  kasvanud  nõudlus  ning tooraine hindade drastiline
tõus.  Energiahindade  tõus  pole  oluliselt  mõjutanud PRFoodsi, arvestades, et
näiteks  John Ross  Jr kasutab  traditsioonilisi suletud  ahje, võime  öelda, et
oleme CO2 neutraalse kala suitsutamismeetodi pioneerid.

Kallinev  tooraine  toetab  märkimisväärselt  meie enda kalakasvastuse tulemusi.
Samas  peab arvestama, et toodetes hinnatõus  tuleb alles järgmisel aastal, kuna
enamus  Soomes kehtivaid lepinguid on  hinnastatud käesoleva aasta lõpuni. Seega
oli  eelmine kvartal olukord, kus tooraine hinnad tõusid, kuid edasimüügi hinnad
jäid veel samaks. Oleme kõikides kliendigruppides tõstnud märkimisväärselt hindu
järgmisele  aastale. Kindlasti kandub hinnatõus edasi ka lõpptarbija hindadesse.
Suure  tõenäosusega püsib kala hind kõrgel  kogu järgmise aasta ning seega saame
rääkida   tavapärase   rütmi   naasmisest.   Soome   restruktureerimine   toimub
plaanipäraselt,  mis toob  kaasa märkimisväärse  tootmismahu siirdumise Eestisse
ning  töötajate arv  Soomes väheneb  drastiliselt. Sellega  seotud kulud tulevad
erakorralise kuluna käesolevasse kvartalisse.

Suurbritannia ja Soome müük on kasvanud ootuspäraselt. Oleme vähendanud tootmist
tootegruppides,  mis on siiani  kahjumlikud. Eesti müügi  vähenemine on tingitud
asjaolust,  et  Eesti  suunaline  turism  ei  toimi,  kuna Eesti riik on suutnud
korduvalt  olla koroonaga võitlemises mahajääjate  esirinnas, mis mõjutab siiani
väga oluliselt HoReCa sektorit."


Majandusaasta esimeses kvartalis suurenes käive nii värske kala ja kalafilee kui
ka  suitsutatud  toodete  tooterühmade  lõikes  võrreldes  eelmise majandusaasta
esimese   kvartaliga.   Värske  kala  ja  kalafilee  tooterühma,  mis  moodustas
tooteportfellist   37,4% (1kv  2020/2021: 32,3%), käive  tõusis  30,7% võrreldes
eelmise  majandusaasta esimese kvartaliga.  Suitsutatud toodete, mis moodustasid
kogumüügist    pea    poole    (1kv    2020/2021: 49,6%), müügikäive    suurenes
majandusaastate võrdluses 11,6%.

PRF: AS PRFoods’ unaudited preliminary consolidated turnover of the 1st quarter and 3 months of the 2021/2022 financial year

Message

PRFoods' unaudited preliminary consolidated turnover in the 1(st) quarter of the
financial  year  of  2021/2022 amounted  to  14.32 million  euros, a increase by
12.8% compared to the same period a year ago (1Q 2020/2021: 12.7 million euros),
including sales increase in wholesale by 63.3% and in HoReCa by 16.8%. The sales
of  fresh fish and  fillets' product and  smoked products increased by 30.7% and
11.6% respectively  compared to the first quarter of the previous year. Compared
to  the previous quarter i.e. the  4(th) quarter of the previous financial year,
the  sales decreased by 2.85%, (4Q  2020/2021: 14.74 million euros), with retail
and  wholesale sectors declining by 8.8% and 8.3% respectively, whereas sales in
HoReCa sector increased by 10.6%.

Indrek Kasela, CEO, PRFoods:

?As   the   acute  corona  crisis  is  subduing,  we  have  entered  the  period
characterised by inflation, resumed and increased demand and drastic rise in raw
material  prices.  Energy  prices  have  not  had significant impact on PRFoods,
considering  for example  that John  Ross Jr  used traditional  closed wood chip
burning kilns, we can say that we are pioneers in CO2 neutral smoking of fish.
More  expensive raw material supports significantly our own fish farming. At the
same time we must remember that price increases will happen only in next year in
Finland,  as most contracts are priced until  end of the year already. Therefore
last  quarter was marked  by high raw  material prices and  sale prices remained
stagnant.  We have  significantly increased  sales prices  in all  of our client
groups.  Most certainly the price increases will  be passed on to end customers.
With  high probability the  high fish prices  will remain throughout of 2022 and
therefore   we  can  say  that  we  resume  our  normal  rhythm  of  operations.
Restructuring  of Finnish  operations is  continuing as  planned, bringing about
transfer  of  significant  portion  of  production  to Estonia and the number of
employees  in Finland is cut drastically.  One-off expensed related to this will
occur in this quarter.
Sales in UK and Estonia grow as expected. We have reduced production in products
that  are still loss-making. Decrease  in Estonian sales is  related to the fact
that  Estonia inbound tourism  is still not  functioning, as Estonian government
has  repeatedly managed  to be  first among  countries lagging behind in dealing
with corona, thus negative affecting HoReCa sector."


In  the first quarter of  the financial year, the  sales increased in fresh fish
and  fillets' product and  smoked products product  groups compared to the first
quarter  of the previous  financial year. The  sales of fresh  fish and fillets'
product  group that formed 37.4% of the product portfolio (1Q 2020/2021: 32.3%)
sales increased by 30.7% compared to the first quarter of the previous financial
year.  The sales of smoked  products that accounted for  about half of the total
sales (1Q 2020/2021: 49.6%) increased by 11.6% over the financial years.
