CEO statement
Christophe Barnouin (CEO) commented: "In 2014, we made strong progress in executing our strategy to transform Wessanen into a focused European player in healthy and sustainable food. Our brands have continued to gain momentum on the back of new product launches and increased distribution.

In the fourth quarter, we recorded autonomous growth of 5.2%. This was driven by strong growth of our core brands, six of them showing double-digit increases. We invested more in marketing in the quarter and the full year to build our brands. We will continue to invest more in our brands to grow and strengthen their positions in our growing markets in 2015 as well.

Italian Abafoods strengthening our operations
Early January, we closed the acquisition of Abafoods, which is a major step in executing our strategy. Its unique expertise in organic dairy alternatives will strengthen our R&D and production capabilities to fuel the growth of our dairy alternatives brands in Europe. It also gives us critical mass in Italy, which is a large and growing organic market in Europe, with a leading brand position thanks to Isola Bio.

Non-core divestment programme
During the year, we divested Natudis and IZICO successfully, while Bio-Distrifrais has been divested early January. The divestment process of ABC is progressing. When finalised, we have transformed ourselves into a pure player in healthy and sustainable food.

A unique contribution to sustainability
By focusing our entire organisation and product portfolio exclusively on organic, fair trade, vegetarian and healthier products, all teams at Wessanen contribute every day to one clear and unified goal, defined by our mission 'healthier food, healthier people, healthier planet'."

Wessanen schulden vrij, dat heeft lang geduurd. Maar nu ligt de weg voor verdere uitbreidingen (lees winstgevendheid) open.
Als ABC wordt verkocht kan de "oorlogskas" oplopen naar de EUR 80 miljoen.
Verhoging van het dividend geeft aan dat eer ruimte en tevredenheid is. red. XEA.nl

Wessanen EUR 5,90 -25,3ct vol. 33.867
Angsthazen pakken hun winst/verlies. Gezonde voeding heeft de toekomst en voor de langere termijn is Wessanen en overname kandidaat met een schone "lei"!
