EBIT reached EUR3.2m from EUR0.1m last year. The figure included a non-recurring profit of EUR1.1m resulting from a reversal of impairment on a property that had been for sale.
Net sales amounted to EUR328.4m, and increase of 6.4% on the prior year.
Looking ahead, Atria said it expects EBIT to be “higher” than the EUR30.2m recorded in 2012 and for “some growth” in sales.
