Based on the preliminary figures, Alno generated sales of 521.5 million euros in the 2015 financial year, up by 18.6 million euros or 3.7 per cent year on year (502.9 million euros). Adjusted for special effects, EBITDA improved by 28.3 million euros or 100.3 per cent from -28.2 million euros to 0.1 million euros.
