Consolidated revenue increased by just over 11 per cent in the first quarter of 2007. Operating profit was DKK 69 million (DKK 66 million), corresponding to an EBIT margin of 4.9 per cent (5.2 per cent). Both revenue and results are better than expected at the beginning of the year. Revenue for the first quarter increased to DKK 1,412 million (DKK 1,267 million). Growth for all three companies. Operating profit was DKK 69 million (DKK 66 million), and profit before tax was DKK 47 million (DKK 50 million). All three subsidiaries contributed to the positive results. Revenue in USD was settled at an exchange rate of approx. DKK 6, which is virtually on a par with last year. Cheminova's sales in Brazil were negatively affected by the fact that the first quarter marks the end of a very difficult season. The situation remains uncertain, although the high crop prices justify some optimism for the coming season. For 2007 as a whole, Auriga thus maintains its outlook of revenue of approx. DKK 5,550 million and a profit before tax of approx. DKK 200 million.
