Segment Sugar: Outlook 2015/16 Revenues Operating Profit Decrease in quota sugar prices with full year impact Significant revenue decrease (Previous year: 3,228 mn ) Since prices have again declined since the beginning of the 2014/15 sugar marketing year on 1 October 2014, this will now impact the entire fiscal year. Shortfall from further declining prices can no longer be offset by lower raw material costs. While lower fixed unit costs will have a mitigating impact due to the longer campaign in 2014, because of the reduced planting required for 2015, there will be a shorter campaign, which means that fixed unit costs will likely rise again. Step by step impact of introduced cost reduction measures, but will only be enough to partly offset the declining prices.
