EQS Group-Ad-hoc: HOCHDORF Holding AG / Key word(s): Development of Sales HOCHDORF Group Press Release: Sales and Turnover Figures for 2015 Hochdorf, 27 January 2016 – The HOCHDORF Group achieved a gross sales revenue of CHF 551.1 million in the past business year. This takes the figure over the half billion franc mark for the first time in the company’s history. In its plants, HOCHDORF processed 761.2 million kg of milk, whey and permeate (+50.2%; previous year 507.0 million kg). The volume of products sold increased to 242,821 tonnes (+144.9%; previous year 99,155 tonnes). Operational results are expected to remain at the same level as the previous year in spite of the strong Swiss franc and the difficult circumstances for commodity products on the international markets. In its plants the HOCHDORF Group processed 761.2 million kg of milk, whey and permeate in the past year (+50.2% compared to previous year). This figure is significantly higher than the amount processed in 2014, but has to be seen in the context of the acquisition of Uckermärker Milch GmbH. A total of 388.9 million kg of milk, whey and permeate was processed in the Swiss plants (-5.35% compared to previous year’s 410.9 million kg). The plants in Germany and Lithuania also saw a fall in milk production in 2015 compared to 2014. Gross sales revenue and sales quantity increased The quantity of products sold by the HOCHDORF Group increased by +144.9% to 242,821 tonnes. This greatly increased amount is a result of the tonnages sold in Prenzlau. Over 135,000 tonnes of product (butter, curd, butter milk and milk powder) were sold from this plant alone. Resignation of Urs Renggli from the Board of Directors Revenue figures unchanged from previous year The complete company results for 2015 will be published on 7 April 2016.
