Podravka Group Revenues Impacted By Beverages Segment

Croatian food processing and pharmaceutical company Podravka ended the first quarter of 2017 with revenues of HRK 913.2 million (€122.7 million), the company said in a statement.

This represents a drop of HRK 83.9 million (€11.28 million) or 8.4% compared to the same period last year, with the company saying that performance was affected by beverage sales, discontinuation of part of a meat program and disruptions in Adriatic markets.

In addition, the group saw a change of distributor for the Western European market and a temporary sales reduction to the main distributor in the Russian market.

International Sales

In the first quarter this year, Podravka Group achieved more than 70% of sales on international markets.

Net profit was HRK 18 million (€2.42 million), down 70% year-on-year.
