    Mannheim, 21 June 2016 - CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, has had a good start
    into the new financial year 2016/17. Revenues in the 1st quarter decreased
    as expected and reached EUR 168 (previous year: EUR 198) million. The main
    reason for this were lower ethanol prices as well as missing sales volumes
    compared to the 1st quarter of the previous year from the production plant
    in Wilton, UK, which has been temporarily closed since February 2015.
    Despite the lower business volume, CropEnergies was able to significantly
    improve the earnings situation due to lower raw material prices and
    decreased expenditures for energy and maintenance. Operating profit
    therefore increased by 42 percent to EUR 19 (previous year: EUR 14)
    million.

    For the full financial year, CropEnergies has increased its forecast and
    now expects revenues of EUR 640 to EUR 700 (previously expected: EUR 625 to
    EUR 700) million and an operating profit in the range of EUR 50 to EUR 80
    (previously expected: EUR 30 to EUR 70) million. In the previous year,
    revenues had reached EUR 723 million with an operating profit of EUR 87
    million.

    In July 2016, CropEnergies will restart its production plant in Wilton.
    This will allow all modifications that have been carried out to increase
    reliability and improve energy efficiency to be tested. Depending on the
    duration as well as the result, this may have an effect on revenues and
    earnings. Possible effects, however, have not been included in the current
    forecast.

    The full annual report for the 1st quarter 2016/17 will be published on 6
    July 2016.

    Ensuring mobility in a climate friendly way - today and in the future - is
    CropEnergies' business. Founded in Mannheim, Germany, in 2006, the young
    and dynamically growing member of the Südzucker Group is one of the leading
    European manufacturers of sustainably produced bioethanol for the fuel
    sector today. With its production capacities of 1.3 million cubic meters of
    bioethanol per year, CropEnergies produces bioethanol which predominantly
    replaces petrol in four modern production facilities in Germany, Belgium,
    the UK, and France. The highly efficient production facilities reduce CO2
    emissions by up to 70 percent across the whole value-added chain compared
    to fossil fuel. With the production sites, the unique logistics network in
    Europe as well as trading offices in the USA, Brazil, and Chile,
    CropEnergies is one of the leading companies in a major emerging market.

    feed products. The raw materials which are used such as cereals and sugar
    beets are completely utilized. As a result, more than 1 million tonnes of
    high-quality protein food and animal feed products are manufactured every
    year out of the non-fermentable components of the raw materials.

    Through advanced technology and innovation CropEnergies contributes to
    ensure a sustainable mobility from renewable sources today and in the
    future through its main product bioethanol: mobility - sustainable.
