Reasons for the deviation are a significantly lower average selling price in the potash and magnesium products business unit (Q2/15: EUR 310 per ton) and unexpectedly high production outages due to the limited deep-well injection permit for liquid residues at the Werra plant. In the business unit Salt lower pre-buying sales for de-icing products led to a significant volume decline primarily in North America. The Company will release the complete half-yearly financial report on August 11th, 2016. 27.06.2016 The DGAP Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
