* Proposal to the Annual General Meeting
The 2009|10 financial year brought solid results for AGRANA despite 
the fact that the worldwide recession reached its climax in calendar 
year 2009.
Segment results:
SUGAR SEGMENT Revenue 2009|10: EUR 684.1 million (prior year: EUR 
702.5 million) EBIT 2009|10: EUR 15.2 million (prior year: EUR 15.8 
million) In spite of volume growth in the Sugar segment, the quota 
reduction led to a revenue decrease of 2.6%. The earnings situation 
in the Sugar segment will improve again in the medium term through 
the non-recurrence of the restructuring levies and as a result of 
efficiency gains.
STARCH SEGMENT Revenue 2009|10: EUR 499.2 million (prior year: EUR 
519.4 million) EBIT 2009|10: EUR 41.1 million (prior year: EUR 27.5 
million) The very good operating profit was achieved despite the 
price decline in principal products and co-products and the 
accompanying revenue decrease of 4%. The bioethanol business recorded
growth in revenue thanks to the full utilisation of the bioethanol 
capacity in Austria and Hungary, and with the start-up years behind 
it, it is now profitable.
FRUIT SEGMENT Revenue 2009|10: EUR 805.9 million (prior year: EUR 
804.4 million) EBIT 2009|10: EUR 35.7 million (prior year: loss of 
EUR 5.5 million) The stabilisation in revenue and earnings was 
achieved by streamlining the production of fruit preparations and 
through good sales in the USA, Asia, Australia and the Eastern 
European countries. In fruit juice concentrates, AGRANA made up for 
the significantly lower purchase prices by selling larger quantities.
For the 2010|11 financial year, AGRANA´s top goal is to further 
improve profitability through organisational optimisations that will 
yield long-term benefits. AGRANA currently expects Group revenue to 
remain steady compared with 2009|10 and sees operating profit before 
exceptional items rising beyond the prior-year level. "We plan not 
only to defend our market position but to continually expand it where
opportunities present themselves, through organic growth as well as 
by tapping new markets," comments AGRANA Chief Executive Officer 
Johann Marihart.
