Apetit Oyj provided Group earnings guidance for the year 2019. The Group's full-year operational EBIT is expected to improve year-on-year compared to loss of EUR 0.5 million in 2018. Due to the seasonal nature of the Group's operations, most of the annual profit is accrued in the second half of the year. The profit outlook for early 2019 is burdened by the weak grain crop of 2018.

The company reported impairments of EUR 4.8 million for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2018.
