Today’s webcast is the first opportunity to hear from CEO Elli Siltala. CFO Kimmo Virtanen, who also started at Raisio today, will briefly introduce himself at the beginning.
I wonder if there will be an Inderes interview as usual… Edit: yes indeed!
Raisio’s headline figures were already known following the profit warning issued. A positive aspect of the quarter was Elovena’s continued rapid growth, whereas the weakest performer was UK Benecol sales. CEO Elli Siltala, CFO Kimmo Virtanen, and interim CFO Lassi Rajala are interviewed by analyst Pauli Lohi.
