Insider information publication according to section 17 MAR

Mannheim, 14 December 2020

According to preliminary figures, in the third quarter (1 September to 30 November 2020) of current business year 2020/21, Südzucker AG reached group revenues of EUR 1,740 (previous year: 1,713) million. The operating group result significantly increased - as expected - to EUR 66 (previous year: 39) million. Thereby negative effects from the anewed pan-European lockdown have already been observed since mid of October. The earnings improvement is mainly supported by sugar segment, whilst CropEnergies, special products and fruit segments in total come up to the high previous year's level.

In the first three quarters (1 March to 30 November 2020) group revenues came in at EUR 5,089 (previous year: 5,028) million. The operating group result significantly increased to EUR 195 (previous year: 113) million.

Already in the context of the first half-year publication of business year 2020/21, 8 October 2020, Südzucker pointed out, amongst others that the adjusted sugar segment forecast led to the assessment of a group operating result rather at the lower end of the expected earnings range of EUR 300 to 400 million. At that point in time Südzucker also indicated uncertainties in sugar segment in regard to the magnitude of price increase for outstanding contract volumes and the further sales development in light of the corona pandemic. Furthermore Südzucker alluded to the risks of final capacity utilization in light of a continued drought and reinforced pest infestation in several growing areas. Now, it becomes apparent that these risks gradually materialize. Moreover it is referred to the published forecast adjustment by CropEnergies via publication of an insider information, today.

In the overall view as well as against the background of the increasingly intensifying lockdown in Europe and the seasonal weak fourth quarter, now, for business year 2020/21, Südzucker expects group revenues of EUR 6.6 to 6.8 (previous year: 6.7) billion. The operating group result, following EUR 116 million in previous year, is expected to improve significantly and to be now in a range of EUR 190 to 240 million.

Further extend, duration and economic effects in the course of the corona pandemic are still difficult to predict and could lead to opportunities and risks for the Südzucker group for the remaining part and beyond the current business year.

The full report for the first nine months 2020/21 will be published on 14 January 2021.
