Segment Sugar: Implications for Südzucker
Opportunities
Südzucker is in good starting position as
largest producer with focus on best growing
regions
Only limited effort needed to increase and
extend current production level (with high
entry barrier at the same time)
Utilization of current European logistic
network to optimize sugar distribution and
development of new markets
Investment program to exploit future
market potential (e.g. starch)
Strengthening and extension of
cooperations (e.g. ED&F Man, LDC/ACP
producer)
Südzucker Group, page 26
Challenges
Stronger competition, possibly also from
Isoglucose
Further EU free trade agreements with third
party countries
Raw material security in increasingly more
volatile market environment
Volatility in world market price and volume
with stronger influence on EU market
FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
Segment Sugar: Outlook 2014/15
Sales revenue decrease with full year effect
Revenues
Increased trend towards spot business
Significant revenue decrease (Previous year*: 3,901 mn €)
Operating
Profit
Decreasing price level in light of increasingly worsening
economic environment in EU sugar market
Burden from increase in fixed costs per tonne due to once again
shorter campaign 2013
Significant decrease to about 30-70 mn €
(Previous year*: 436 mn €)

Segment Sugar: Mid term Outlook
Global demand trend of ~ 2% p.a. growth intact
(population growth, increase in per-capita income…)
Recovery of world market price
Operating Profit Perspective
Temporary EU market distortion in transition period
~ 250 mn €
Strong market position in combination with strong
foothold in best growing area in the centre of demand
Necessary efficiency improvements
Increase in production ~120 days (fixed cost
degression)
Omission of EU minimum beet price / flexible beet

Revenues:
Revenues decreased mainly driven by the decline in quota
sugar sales revenues. Quota sugar volumes increased. World
market prices for non-quota sugar below last year’s level drove
export prices down.
Operating profit:
Decrease primarily due to significantly lower quota sugar sales
revenues, especially in Southern and Eastern European markets.
Harvest expectations: Beet yield expected to reach 76 (67) t/ha, strongly above five
year average.

Revenues:

enough to fully offset the sharp drop in ethanol sales
revenues.

Revenues:
Volumes unchanged in fruit preparations; however, foreign
currency effects due to a stronger euro led to decline in
revenues. Lower revenues in fruit juice concentrates due to
lower volumes as well as lower selling prices for apple juice
concentrate.
Operating profit:
Lower profit, but stable operating margin for fruit preparations
and fruit juice concentrates, which confirms that the measures
to cut material and structural costs have been successfully
implemented.
Restructuring:
Closing of fruit preparation line in Kröllendorf and focus on

Cash flow:
Cash flow mainly tracked EBIT and came in below the previous year’s level.
Working Capital:
Cash flow from working capital resulted mainly from a reduction in inventories during the first half of the
fiscal year, during which time it was higher than liability payments to beet farmers.
Investments:
Sugar: Mainly replacement spending and investments to improve energy efficiency. Special products:
Primarily due to the construction of starch factory in Zeitz and biomass boiler at the BENEO site, Chile.
CropEnergies: Optimization of production systems. Fruit: Mainly in the fruit preparations area.

Summary (I): Financial year 2014/15
Burden mainly from temporary difficult market environment in sugar and
ethanol markets lead to significant operating profit decrease on group level
Due to sugar segment development, group operating profit target of
~ 200 million € more ambitious
Peak in capex level secures future development
New starch and neutral alcohol plants to enlarge Zeitz site
Biomass boiler, Chile
Launch of fourth fruit preparations plant to enforce market presence in
USA
Ongoing very solid balance sheet figures
Comfortable liquidity position
Südzucker Group, page 64
FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
Summary (II): Midterm Outlook
Financial year 2015/16 is going to be another difficult year for the sugar
business, but segments special products, CropEnergies and fruit to show
earnings improvements
We stick to our midterm guidance
Group operating profit: ~ 550 million €
o/w sugar ~ 250 million €
Group EBITDA: ~ 850 million €
Capex to match depreciation level
