SAO PAULO, Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kepler Weber S/A
(BM&FBovespa: KEPL3) announced its results for the second
quarter of 2013, on this Thursday, August
15, 2013.
Net Revenues
The performance of Net Revenues for the second quarter of 2013
reflects an increase in the demand for storage, driven by funding
lines and by record volumes for the harvest. Storage is the fastest
solution that can be implemented to get past the logistical
bottlenecks observed lately in harvest removal, and to cut the
losses registered by the agricultural sector. Net Revenues for the
2nd quarter of 2013 were up 75.2% in relation to the same period of
2012, adding up to R$ 128.8 million.
Assessing cumulative results for this year, there was 45.0% growth
in Net Revenues compared to the year before.
Profitability
Gains in productivity, control of costs, an increase in volumes
and a leveling off of seasonality allowed for a significant
increase in the Company's profitability. Gross Profits stood at
R$ 30.3 million for 2Q13, +106.1% in
relation to the same period in 2012.
The increase in profitability is also reflected in Operating
Profits (+340.3%) and Net Profits (+1,450.6%) which came to
R$ 8.7 million (compared to
R$ 0.6 million for 2Q12).
EBITDA
In this favorable context, EBITDA reached R$ 19.9 million (with a margin of 15.5% in
relation to Net Revenues), compared to a result of R$ 7.0 million achieved in 2Q12, with a margin of
9.5%.
