Deutsche Rohstoff AG provides consolidated earnings guidance for the year 2016. For the period, the group net profit after taxes, which as part of the last intermediate financial results was forecasted to be around EUR 8 million to EUR 10 million is now expected to be significantly lower. Net profit is expected to be slightly below last year's results EUR 0.5 million. The main reason is the later than forecasted start of oil production in the fourth quarter 2016 which has shifted revenues from 2016 into the first quarter 2017.
