The unaudited net revenue for the first quarter of 2020 of the leading producer of alcoholic beverages in the Baltic states, JSC Latvijas balzams, reached EUR 15.9 million, 0.3% up against first quarter 2019, which is predominantly owing to changes in sold product mix.

The leading producer of alcoholic beverages in the Baltic States, JSC Latvijas balzams, last year reached EUR 10.05 million net profit, which is 7% more than in 2018. Changes of the net profit indicator were mainly driven by the improvement of sales and profitability, active efforts undertaken to cut fixed costs and a positive impact of investments made in production processes. The profit was also largely affected by the supply of logistics services to other enterprises of the alcohol industry, chiefly the handling of consignments in transit to Russia and Ukraine.
