Apetit to update operational indicators
Apetit Plc, Stock Exchange Release, 8 May 2019 at 8:25 a.m.
Apetit Plc is updating its operational indicators and in the future the company will present operational indicators without the IAS-2 Inventories -standard capitalisation of fixed costs at inventory value. Due to harvest-time production, the IAS-2 accounting practice means that most of the profit is accrued in the last two quarters of the year, which weakens the result for the first two quarters and causes seasonal variation. As a result of this change, the information made available to investors will also better match the information used by company management to monitor and guide operations.
Updated comparison data for operational key figures are presented in the tables below.
