Regardless of increase in prices on eggs and egg products in UAH and significant growth in sales volume of egg products, the Group’s revenue for the 1Q 2016 increased by 4% year-on-year to mUSD 17.8 due to significant 21% devaluation of Ukrainian hryvnia from 21.12 UAH to 25.65 UAH per 1 USD.

Operating profit, EBITDA and cash flow from operating activities
The Group’s operating profit for the 1Q 2016 decreased by 24% year-on-year to mUSD 6.4 _1Q 2015: mUSD 8.3_ as a result of amendments to the Tax Code effective since 1 January 2016, which reduced income from special VAT treatment, and significant increase in transportation costs related to the export deliveries.

Over the 3 months 2016 net profit amounted to mUSD 6.1 _1Q 2015: mUSD 9.1_. The Group’s net profit during 1Q 2016 experienced the negative influence from strengthening EUR against USD that resulted in mUSD 0.2 of finance costs, while the weakening EUR against USD over 1Q 2015 generated mUSD 1.1 of finance income.
