Grupo Iberpapel FY 2014 net profit up 25.27% from year ago to Euro 9.1 million

Mar 05, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Grupo Iberpapel's net profit amounted to Euro 9.1 million in 2014, marking growth of 25.27% from 2013, despite the adverse impact of the recently passed electricity sector reforms. EBITDA, meanwhile, was Euro 26.2 million, up 19.97% from 2013, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Revenue from sales declined 4.59% year-on-year to Euro 200.1 million. The topline contraction was driven by a 29.02% decline in revenue from electricity sales.

The improvement in Grupo Iberpapel's profitability is attributable to the notably streamlined cost structure and significant growth in pulp (+12%) and paper (+8%) production.

Iberpapel is a paper group. It is one of the main players in the printing and writing paper market in Spain.
