Mondi plc announced expenditure results for the fiscal year 2012. For the period, the company reported capital expenditure amounted to EUR 298 million, EUR 35 million higher than the previous year. The capital expenditure to depreciation ratio was 86% including expenditure on a number of the Group's strategic energy projects. The company reported capital expenditure is expected to be approximately 125% of the Group's depreciation charge on average over the next two years. Full year underlying operating profit of EUR 568 million, 9% down on the very strong prior year result. The Group continued to be strongly cash generative with cash generated from operations of EUR 845 million.

This reflects a 35% increase on the comparable prior year.

Mondi plc reported interim management statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Underlying operating profit for the first quarter of 2013 was EUR 162 million, in line with expectations despite the effects of a one-off write-down in the value of green energy credits of EUR 11 million. This reflects a 35% increase on the comparable prior year period (EUR 120 million) and is in line with the previous quarter (EUR 163 million). The significant increase over the comparable prior year period is a result of improved market conditions in the Packaging Paper and South African businesses, as well as the benefits from the acquisitions of Nordenia and the corrugated packaging plants in Germany and the Czech Republic completed towards the end of 2012.
