    Mannheim, 17 June 2015 - In the 1st quarter of the current financial year
    2015/16 (1 March - 31 May 2015), CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, has maintained
    revenues slightly below the previous year's level as expected according to
    preliminary figures. They reached approximately EUR 198 (previous year:
    208) million. At the same time, operating profit increased significantly to
    approximately EUR 14 (previous year: 5) million.

    The main reason for the increase in earnings was the encouraging
    improvement of bioethanol prices in Europe, lower raw material prices as
    well as improvements in the cost structure especially due to the pause in
    production of the plant in Wilton, UK. Outside of the operating profit,
    restructuring costs of EUR 5 (previous year: 0) million were incurred.
    Thus, the EBIT increased to EUR 9 (previous year: 5) million.

    The good start into the financial year prompts CropEnergies to adjust the
    outlook for the full financial year 2015/15. Operating profit (before
    restructuring costs and special items) is now expected to be in the range
    of EUR 10 to EUR 40 (previous year: EUR -11) million and thus positive for
    the full financial year 2015/16. At the same time, the reduction in
    revenues following the pause in production in the British plant is expected
    to be less pronounced. CropEnergies expects revenues in the range of EUR
    675 to EUR 725 (previous year: EUR 827) million.

    The full report for the 1st quarter 2015/16 will be published on 8 July
    2015.
