Strauss Group's Second Quarter Results Demonstrate a Strong Performance in the Group's Core Businesses(1)

PETACH TIKVA, Israel, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gadi Lesin, President and CEO of Strauss Group (TASE: STRS) (August 10, 2017): "The past quarter has delivered the first fruits of the implementation of the Group's strategy focusing on our core businesses, as we attained the full control of the coffee and water companies following minority acquisitions; increasing our holding in the joint venture in China and sold Max Brenner. These strong results are proof of the significant value these moves have delivered to the Group and to its shareholders. The business in Israel continues to outperform the Food & Beverage market, and the laudable achievements of Strauss Coffee and Strauss Water have positively impacted the bottom line, in spite of the continued effect of the recall by Sabra. We believe that the strategic changes implemented in our portfolio over the past year will continue to reflect positively on the group, enabling us to face the challenges which lie ahead in the global and local markets."
