Second Quarter 2013 Investor Conference Webinar

On September 10 AS „Olainfarm” organized its second quarter 2013 Investor Conference Online Webinar for investors. During the webinar the member of the management board of AS „Olainfarm” Salvis Lapiņš analysed the financial results of second quarter of 2013 and discussed results in context of previously published annual forecasts.

During the webinar Salvis Lapiņš reminded that in second quarter of 2013, Olainfarm have reached new profit and turnover records and also analyzed factors that have influenced financial results in this period. One of such factors was mentioned fluctuations in Russian ruble rate against Euro that have decreased profit for the second quarter by around 0.4 million LVL. At the same time member of the board indicated that those fluctuations are taken into account when signing agreements and further on it is planned to negotiate this exchange rate with wholesalers on a quarterly basis. In the webinar it was also indicated that sales decrease in Ukraine that has happened due to significant over-shipment in the end of 2012 have strong impact on current financial results, though currently sales to this country have started to recover and if such a trend continues, management believes it is realistic to reach annual sales and profit forecasts.

Salvis Lapiņš also invited investors to discussion about possible Olainfarm stock split-off, which would tenfold the number of company’s shares with nominal value of 0.1 LVL per share. Idea about such split-off was introduced based on the fact that one share of Olainfarm is currently one of the most expensive ones in Baltic market and company has a broad retail investor base.
