Camposol Holding Plc. reported sales of USD 60.5 million in the
first quarter of 2014, up 49.0% from Q113 mainly due to an increase
in volume sold of frozen mangoes and grapes, as well as increasing
prices of preserved white asparagus, fresh mangoes and shrimps.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, EBITDA was
USD 7.4 million, 83.9% higher than Q113, explained by higher
volumes of frozen mangoes, as well as increasing prices of
preserved white asparagus, fresh mangoes and shrimps. EBITDA margin
for Q114 increased to 12.2%.
Volume sold during Q114 was 24,359 net MT, up
34.3% from Q113 explained mainly by an increase in volumes of
frozen mangoes and grapes.
Average price was USD 2.48 per net KG, up 10.7%
from the same period in 2013 mainly explained by an increase in
prices of preserved white asparagus, fresh mangoes and shrimps.
As of March 31st 2014, the Company maintained a
cash balance of USD 25.0 million.
The long term growth prospects for exotic fruits
and vegetables markets are excellent. Avocadoes and mango are
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 avocadoes specifically in both the United States and
Europe.
