The earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR 122.1 million, 28.4 percent higher than in the previous year (2018/2019: EUR 95.1 million) due to the favourable market conditions in the first half of the financial year and despite the temporary lockdown due to the coronavirus in the second half of the financial year. The Group result before taxation and interest (EBIT) increased to EUR 91.9 million, an increase of 24.7 percent (2018/2019: EUR 73.7 million). The net result is after deduction of current and deferred taxes of EUR 27.2 million (2018/2019: EUR 21.4 million), and amounted to EUR 63.8 million (2018/2019: EUR 51.7 million). Based on the net result for the period, earnings per share (basic and diluted) was EUR 1.01 (2018/2019: EUR 0.84). Development of the Biodiesel, Bioethanol and Other segments The Bioethanol segment generated sales revenues of EUR 275.2 million in 2019/2020 (2018/2019: EUR 254.7 million).

The production of biomethane increased by 11.0 percent to 784.4 GWh (2018/2019: 706.6 GWh). The Bioethanol segment contributed to the Group's results with an EBITDA of EUR 74.0 million (2018/2019: EUR 23.8 million). Sales revenues generated in the Other segment totalling EUR 15.8 million in the financial year 2019/2020 primarily represent revenues from transport and logistics services (2018/2019: EUR 16.7 million).
