EVN: Revenues of Austrian utility company EVN declined by 6.5% to Euro 2,072.6 mn in 2017/18. The main reasons for this development were a decrease in sales of electricity from thermal production, valuation effects from hedges, a reduction in natural gas trading and temperature-related volume effects, above all in South Eastern Europe. Revenue was also lower in the international project business. In contrast, higher revenues were recorded from renewable electricity generation, the supply of reserve capacity to support network stability and heat sales. EBIDTA declined by 6.9% year-on-year to Euro 671.8 mn in 2017/18. Scheduled depreciation and amortisation were 1.5% lower than the previous year at Euro 258.3 mn. The effects of impairment testing fell to Euro 20.6 mn, whereby the previous year was characterised by higher impairment losses, especially in the generation business. In total, EBIT rose by 13.3% to Euro 392.9 mn. Group net result for the 2017/18 financial year equalled Euro 254.6 mn. This represents an increase of 1.4% over the previous year. The Executive Board will  make a recommendation to the 90th Annual General Meeting on 17 January 2019, calling for the distribution of an ordinary dividend of Euro 0.44 per share as well as a one-time bonus dividend of Euro 0.03 per share.

Agrana:  The stock listed fruit, starch and sugar group Agrana announces the launch of its bioplastic Agenacomp®. A 50:50 blend of thermoplastic starch and a biologically degradable polyester has given rise to an bioplastic compound which is fully compostable at home. “This is the first product for the bioplastic market containing such a high proportion of starch (the market standard is only around 25%) and one which makes the product compostable at home. The TÜV-certified compost tests revealed 100% degradation without microplastic residues,” explains Agrana CEO Johann Marihart. Diverse application areas exist for Agrana’s new bioplastic compound, ranging from thin bags for fruit and vegetables to thicker carrier bags and even as packaging film.
