All news / CHERKIZOVO GROUP ANNOUNCES OPERATING RESULTS FOR SEPTEMBER AND THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2019

  • 11 Oct 2019, 09:44

Cherkizovo Group (MOEX: GCHE), the largest vertically integrated meat producer in Russia, today announces operating results for September and the third quarter of 2019.[1]

Third quarter 2019 highlights: 

Chicken: Sales volume of 164.5 thousand tonnes increased by 25% y-o-y, driven by volumes growth from the assets acquired in late 2018. Average sales price increase of 12% y-o-y is attributed to limited supply, lower base effect of the previous year, and further shift of the sales mix towards value-added products.

Turkey: JV Tambov Turkey sales volume of 11.0 thousand tonnes up 18% y-o-y, on inventory release accumulated in the first half of the year, and stronger demand for turkey products. Average sales price increased by 3% y-o-y as we further expanded Pava-Pava branded offering.

Pork: Production and sales volume increased by 12% and 13%, respectively, compared to 3Q18 as production facilities completed in 2018 have started harvesting market hogs. Prices declined by 16% y-o-y due to higher pork supply coming from domestic producers, while imports fell to negligible volumes, as Latin American producers re-routed shipments to Asia.

Meat Processing: Sales volume increased by 7% y-o-y, on the acceleration of sausages and carcass sales, up 8% and 28% respectively. Average sales price of the segment declined by 7%: sausages and cuts prices were unchanged compared to 3Q18, while carcass price eased by 14% y-o-y, in line with live pork prices.

Grain: Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of this segment are reported annually to better reflect business performance.
