  • The order book is at a solid level of 201 million at the end of the quarter, significantly higher than in Q1 2011 [169 million].

Marel starts the year off strong in Q1 and in line with the Company’s growth strategy. Revenues amounted to 184.9 million, which represents an increase of 20.4% compared to Q1 2011, similar to the record fourth quarter of 2011 [183.9 million]. The EBIT margin of 11.4% is in line with the Company’s target of 10-12% return on sales.

Marel has good geographical revenue split. This quarter, solid growth in areas such as Asia and South America fully offsets a slower US market. The outlook for 2012 remains positive based on the level of the order book and market trends as perceived by Marel.
