The consolidated sales of the Group increased by EUR 61.7 million or 5.8% to EUR 1,122.1 million (Q1 2022: EUR 1,060.4 million). This growth is mainly due to the acquisition of the MM Packaging division. At EUR 61.6 million, the operating result was EUR 49.5 million below the comparative figure for the previous year (Q1 2022: EUR 111.1 million). This decline is mainly due to downtimes in the MM Board & Paper division due to market and remodeling and restructuring expenses of EUR 15.5 million in the packaging division. The Group's operating margin was therefore 5.5% (Q1 2022: 10.5%).
