TEL AVIV, Israel, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Posts Strong Operating Profit Due to Solid Performance by Strauss Coffee's International Operations
The Group's sales in the first quarter totaled NIS 2.0 billion and were impacted by the erosion of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian Real versus the Shekel;
The Group posted a record non-GAAP operating profit, which amounted to NIS 214 million
Gadi Lesin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Strauss Group, commented, "Strauss's international activity continued to prove its strength in the quarter, expanding profit despite a significant negative impact from changes in relevant currency exchange rates. Our home market in Israel also maintained its positive performance. Overall, the Group posted strong operating results thanks mainly to the improvement in the international coffee business as well as the dips and spreads segment, and as a result of the continued implementation of streamlining processes across all of the Group's businesses. At the same time, we are continuing to invest in the Group's future growth drivers and in innovation in all areas of our activity. Our goal remains to continue to deliver real added value to consumers, while enhancing our strength as a leading Group."
Key data on the first quarter of 2013[1]
Commencing in the first quarter of 2013, the Strauss Group retroactively applied IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements. The significance of the standard is that businesses which are jointly controlled by Strauss and a partner are no longer presented according to Strauss's relative holding in the entity, but in a separate row ("Income of equity-accounted investees" in the statements of income and in the other statements in the relevant section). The reporting method does not alter the Group's profit. As this is a change in reporting method only, and in light of the fact that the Group's non-GAAP reports and the manner in which Management measures the results of operations of subsidiaries have remained unchanged, the Group continues to present the activity segments in the identical manner in which they were presented in prior periods.
- Sales totaled NIS 2.0 billion (compared with NIS 2.1 billion last year), a decrease of 2.5%; excluding the negative impact of changes in exchange rates, organic sales grew by 0.1% over the last year.
- Non-GAAP gross profit totaled NIS 767 billion (38.1% of sales) compared to NIS 731 billion in the corresponding quarter last year (35.4% of sales), an increase of 4.9%.
- Non-GAAP operating profit (EBIT) totaled NIS 214 million (10.6% of sales) compared to NIS 168 million in the corresponding quarter last year (8.1% of sales), an increase of 27.5%. The growth was primarily due to the significant growth in the profits of International Coffee and International Dips and Spreads.
- Non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders totaled NIS 103 million (5.1% of sales) compared to NIS 65 million in the corresponding quarter last year (3.2% of sales), an increase of 57.2%.
- Cash flows from operating activities (GAAP) amounted to a negative cash flow of NIS 25 million compared to a negative cash flow of NIS 86 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
- Net credit (GAAP) as at March 31, 2013 totaled NIS 1,306 million (compared to NIS 1,471 million on March 31, 2012 and NIS 1,199 million on December 31, 2012.
