● Continued employment of Anton and Mara Letica

Third quarter FY 2017

revenues increased

significantly compared to

the same period in FY 2016

due to the contribution of

acquisitions, the positive

effect of foreign exchange

changes during the period

and continued organic

growth, which was off-set by

polymer price reductions

passed on to customers

The fourth quarter of FY

2017 has started well

Adjusted operating profit

was significantly ahead of

the same period in FY 2016,

and better than

management expectations,

benefiting from organic

growth, the contribution of

acquisitions, realisation of

synergies, the easing of the

polymer price headwind as

well as a foreign exchange

translation benefit

The GCS and BPI

businesses continued to

perform well with

acquisition-related

synergies in line with

expectations, and the Group

achieved good cash flow

development in the third

quarter
