Camposol Holding Ltd. reports third quarter 2015 financial results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Camposol Holding Ltd. sold 28,995 net MT during the third quarter of 2015, up
15.6% from Q314 mainly explained by higher volume of avocados and blueberries.
The average price was USD 2.53 per net KG, up 3.3% from Q314 mainly explained by
an increase in prices of fresh avocados and asparagus.
As a result, Camposol Holding Ltd. reported sales of USD 73.4 million in the
third quarter of 2015, up 19.9% from Q314. Average cost of goods sold during
Q315 was USD 1.67 per net KG, down 6.2% from Q314 mainly explained by a decrease
in cost of blueberries, peppers and mangoes.
During the third quarter of 2015, EBITDA was USD 14.9 million, 260.0% higher
than Q314 explained by higher volume and prices for avocados, higher volume and
reduced cost per unit of blueberries. EBITDA margin for Q315 increased to 20.3%.
As of September 30(th) 2015, the Company maintained a cash balance of USD 33.8
million.
The Company expects to continue its diversification strategy by increasing the
production in the F&V Segment (blueberries) and Seafood Segment (conversion of
shrimp ponds), as well as continue to reinforce the Trading Segment (direct
sales to retailers), adding value to its clients through commercial, marketing
and service initiatives which should result in higher margins.
"The third quarter results are in line with our expectations. By year-end, the
Company results will reflect an important increase of our blueberries segment
(around 400% higher in volume than the previous year). Within the next 2 years,
we will see an important growth in volumes (avocados, blueberries and shrimp),
without additional substantial CapEx", stated Samuel Dyer Coriat, Executive
Chairman of Camposol Holding Ltd.
The long-term growth prospects for exotic fruits and vegetables markets are
excellent. Avocados and blueberries consumption is growing, with headroom for
increased per capita consumption in key markets. In the case of asparagus,
although consumption is stable, supply is falling due mainly to reduced exports
from China. The Company expects good demand for all fresh produce in general and
for avocados specifically in both the United States and Europe.
Mr. Samuel Dyer Coriat, Executive Chairman, and Ms. Maria Cristina Couturier,
CFO, will host a conference call today, Thursday October 29(th) at 11:00 a.m.
(Lima). For details on the conference call, please see attached invitation
