”We've had an exceptionally good start to the year, supported by a combination of external factors and ongoing internal improvements. We've seen a substantial non-recurring impact in Fibertex Personal Care from lower prices of raw materials, but the extra earnings could well be eliminated later in the year. In addition, higher foreign exchange rates have boosted earnings in our large units in Chile and Malaysia.
The good start to the year has made us raise our full-year 2015 guidance a notch. We expect our principal global markets to remain very competitive. Our focus continues to be on streamlining the operations of our portfolio companies and to constantly exploring opportunities for growth and expansion.”
