Company")
PROFIT WARNING: AFARAK EXPECTS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER QUARTER ONE RESULTS
Afarak increased its revenue substantially in Q1/2017 when compared to Q1/2016.
The increase in chrome ore and ferrochrome market prices and Afarak's
progression in production, both in Germany and in South Africa, contributed
significantly to this improved performance.
It is expected that quarter one results for 2017 will be among the highest
recorded for the company since it entered the mineral business. The EBIT is
expected to reach a level of not less than € 10 Million.
Afarak will publish its interim report for the first quarter of 2017 on May
12(th), 2017.
