The year began on a good note for Marel with the operations of MPS positively impacting on profitability and performance. Pro forma revenue was 234 million with EBIT of 15%.

Taking into account the order book and delivery time of projects to customers, increase is foreseen in revenue over the course of the year.

Árni Oddur Thórdarson, CEO:

“The year 2016 has kicked off well. I would like to welcome the MPS team on board. Our first steps as a united team are promising.

“We have maintained the momentum with excellent orders received in the quarter of 254 million, our operational results are strong with a pro forma EBIT of 15% and we enter the future with a record order book of 340 million.

“We can already see the positive effect that MPS is having on our operations. We are now a full line provider of solutions and services in Poultry, Meat and Fish. Marel Meat is now accounting for 33% of total revenue with best in class profitability.

“Taking into account the order book and the upcoming delivery time of projects to customers, we foresee an increase in revenues over the course of the year.

“We reaffirm our guidance of modest organic revenue growth and increase in operational results between years compared with the 2015 pro forma result of 977 million in revenue and adjusted EBIT of 133 million.”

MPS is part of Marel’s official consolidated financial accounts since January 29, 2016. Integration of the two companies is on track. Marel provides pro forma financial results to help investors make comparisons of Marel’s operating results from one financial period to another.

Pro forma results are considered a better future indicator than consolidated accounts and give better reflection of the underlying business performance.

* Operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets (PPA).
** Adjusted for refocusing cost related to the refocusing program Simpler, Smarter, Faster.
