Preliminary business figures for 2016 - performance forecasts achieved
- Consolidated revenues up 7.3 % to EUR 170.0 million

Haselünne, February 1, 2017 - Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, listed
on the regulated market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
(ISIN: DE0005201602), recorded a successful 2016 financial year. Based on
preliminary business figures that have not yet been audited, the Berentzen
Group recorded consolidated revenues of EUR 170.0 million in the reporting
year (2015: EUR 158.5 million), which corresponds to an increase of 7.3 %.
The Group's total operating performance increased by 8.6 % to EUR 172.7
million on the previous financial year (2015: EUR 159.0 million).
The key earnings figures developed even more positively, with consolidated
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
climbing by 11.5 % and expected to total EUR 17.5 (2015: EUR 15.7) million.
Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are forecast to
amount to EUR 10.5 (2015: EUR 7.6 million), thus improving by 38.2 %.
Traditionally stronger end-of-year business in the last quarter also made a
key contribution to the strong development of these earnings figures.
"The long-term positive development is the result of the clear focus on our
core competencies and brands as well as of extending our business
activities to fresh and natural products", says Frank Schübel, CEO of
Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft. CFO Ralf Brühöfner adds: "It is
especially pleasing that all business fields in the Group have contributed
to the positive development in earnings."
The preliminary business figures of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft are
subject to the audit opinion of the independent auditor as well as approval
by the Supervisory Board. The final business figures as well as further
information on the 2016 financial year are scheduled for publication on
