Makhteshim Agan’s sales for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $723.1 million, their highest level for a second quarter in MAI’s history, reflecting strong revenue growth for each of the Group’s regions. This is a 20.6% increase compared with $600.9 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting a 15% rise in overall sales volumes together with the consolidation, for the first time, of the Group’s activities in Korea and Mexico. In addition, sales were enhanced by the weakening of the US dollar, which increased the value of the Group’s European and Australian sales as expressed in US dollar terms. Sales for the first half of 2011 totaled $1,503.6 million, a 13.6% increase compared with $1,324.1 million for the first half of 2010. “The achievement of strong revenues is a product of the effective measures the Company has taken during the last 18 months, which have culminated in significantly improved profitability and record sales.” MAI’s Chairman of the Board, Mr. Ami Erel commented.
EBITDA for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $119.4 million, or 16.5% of sales, a 68.4% increase compared with $70.9 million, or 11.8% of sales, for the second quarter of 2010. For the first half of 2011, EBITDA totaled $262.7 million compared with $203.6 million for the first half of 2010.
