Highlights

Statement by Jens Bjerg Sørensen, President of Schouw & Co.

– Schouw & Co. and in particular BioMar, our fish feed business and the largest company in our portfolio, were both off to a good start to 2024.

Both earnings and cash flows from operations were notably higher than in the same quarter of last year, while revenue declined due to lower prices of raw materials and components. This translated into a significant EBITDA margin increase.

In view of the good start to the year, we are cautiously optimistic and upgrade our EBITDA guidance. However, the global uncertainty with geopolitical conflicts, supply chain tension and challenged economies continues to affect our businesses in terms of activity levels and prospects.

At Schouw & Co., we remain focused on enhancing operating income and generating cash flows from operations in all our portfolio companies, which are also facing reduced capital expenditure requirements compared to the past few years.
