Borregaard ASA: EBITDA¹ increased to NOK 302 million in the 1st quarter

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Borregaard’s operating revenues reached NOK 1,419 million (NOK 1,372 million)² in the 1st quarter of 2021. EBITDA¹ increased to NOK 302 million (NOK 242 million). All business areas improved their results compared with the corresponding quarter in 2020. The net currency impact on EBITDA¹ was negative compared with the 1st quarter of 2020.

EBITDA¹ in BioSolutions improved as a result of price increases for certain biopolymer applications and reduced costs. The BioMaterials result improved due to high deliveries of speciality cellulose and a favourable product mix which more than compensated for lower sales prices. In Fine Chemicals, the effect of low deliveries was more than offset by a favourable product mix for fine chemical intermediates and a high production volume of bioethanol.

Profit before tax was NOK 176 million (NOK 111 million). Earnings per share was NOK 1.47 (NOK 1.02).

– We are pleased to deliver a strong result with improvement in all business areas, says President and CEO Per A. Sørlie.
