    Mannheim, 19 November 2015 - CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, once more
    significantly increases its outlook for the operating profit of the current
    financial year 2015/16 (1 March 2015 - 29 February 2016). The main reason
    for the better earnings situation are the spot prices for bioethanol which
    are significantly above the originally expected forward prices. For the
    full financial year 2015/16, CropEnergies now expects an operating profit
    between EUR 70 and EUR 90 million (previous year: EUR -11 million). This
    positive development will already be reflected in the results of the 3rd
    quarter 2015/16 which will be significantly higher than the previous
    year's.

    The company's performance in the financial year 2016/17 will also be
    strongly dependent on the developments on the bioethanol markets. Right
    now, forward prices for bioethanol in Europe for the financial year 2015/16
    show a significant price reduction. Based on this, CropEnergies' operating
    profit should decrease to approximately EUR 30 million. After the
    experiences of the financial year 2015/16, in which the realized spot
    prices were at times more than 10 percent higher than the previously quoted
    forward prices, CropEnergies considers an operating profit of up to EUR 70
    million to be possible. Having said that and as long as grain prices remain
    stable, CropEnergies expects the operating profit for the coming financial
    year 2016/17 to remain under the excellent result for the current financial
    year.

    The report for the 1st to 3rd quarter 2015/16 will be published on 12
    January 2016.
