Comments from the CEO:
CEO and President Arne Frank reported on the company’s operations during the
year 2012 and the performance during the first quarter 2013. Further, he
commented on the continuing work within the Group. The presentation can be found
in its entirety on the company’s web site www.aak.com.

“We continue to see positive effects of the AAK Acceleration program (Growth
-Efficiency-People) and the recent acquisitions are developing in line with
plans. Based on AAK’s customer value propositions for health and reduced costs,
our customer product co-development and solutions approach, and the AAK
Acceleration program, we continue to remain prudently optimistic for the future.
The main drivers are expected to be the strong Food Ingredients business and the
expected recovery in Chocolate & Confectionary Fats. Irrespective of market
conditions, the anticipated improvement in the Chocolate & Confectionary Fats
results is however unlikely to be significant until the second half of 2013”,
said Arne Frank, CEO and President.
