Quotes from Costa Group CEO, Harry Debney

“Our international segment performed strongly over the half, with significant improvement in EBITDASL, reflected in growth of 98% compared to the first half CY19. The major northern Morocco harvest cycle returned to normal timing and yield from all of our China farms was exceptional.”

“The continued impact of CY19 adverse weather and drought conditions affected our first half CY20 results for our Australian operations. However, these historical conditions should have no material impact in 2HCY20 or beyond and there is broad based forward momentum in demand and pricing over our Australian portfolio leading into the second half of CY20.”

“We have been impressed with the relative performance of our citrus orchards in terms of fruit size and yield, especially given the circumstances where industry harvest volumes have been impacted due to previous heat events. Also, strong export and domestic demand, together with improved pricing levels are expected to continue to season end”.
