It is reported by Reuters.
Suedzucker reported operating profit in the first quarter to May 31 of its 2024/25 fiscal year of 155 million euros ($167.93 million), down from 282 million euros in the same quarter last year.
The sugar, CropEnergies biofuel and starch segments all recorded a decline in earnings, it said.
Suedzucker warned in May that high costs ranging from energy, raw materials, logistics to packaging combined with weak sugar markets would cause a fall in first quarter earnings. The company warned on Wednesday that its second quarter earnings would also decline.
