    <\/span>July 26 2017<\/strong>.- <\/span>Ence \u2013 Energ\u00eda y Celulosa reached a net profit of \u20ac31.5 million in the first half of 2017, which is triple the profit for the same period of 2016. This growth occurs with an increase in the average pulp price of only 1.5% in the period. For the second half of the year, higher pulp prices are expected to rise to $ 880\/t from July, according to the main producers. Ence has announced price increases up to $900\/t since September.<\/p>\n

    During the semester, Ence’s EBITDA increased 65.2% to \u20ac87.9 million. The Pulp business improved its result by 54.7% and the Energy business increased by 120.9%. Pulp production costs fell by 6.6% to \u20ac344\/t, close to the \u20ac339\/t target for 2017. Ence’s energy business increased its sales volume by 54%.<\/p>\n

    Ignacio de Colmenares, CEO of Ence, said that “the strong increase in profit in the first half of the year in a context of moderate growth in pulp prices, demonstrates the strength of Ence’s business model and success in the implementation of our Strategic Plan. Significant cost reductions and revenue growth allow us to be optimistic about meeting our goals.”<\/p>\n

    Free cash flow reached \u20ac43 million, up from \u20ac6 million a year ago, and net financial debt fell to \u20ac188 million, down 13.9% from December 2016. Leverage was reduced up to 1.2 times EBITDA, well below its competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
