Ruslan Patlavskyy: Based on the results reported, we anticipate ~10% qoq sales growth of MHP in 2Q10 to USD 220 mln (+30% yoy), primarily driven by 11.6% qoq growth in domestic poultry prices to UAH 13.82/kg (-0.3% yoy) and a 30% yoy increase in poultry output to 85.5 ths mt. This goes in line with our forecasts of USD 871 mln (+23% yoy) for MHP’s sales in FY2010 at annual poultry output of 330 ths mt (+16% yoy). We also maintain our forecast for MHP’s FY2010 EBITDA of USD  227 mln (-16% yoy, EBITDA margin: 26%, -12 pp yoy), supported by the management’s comments on higher production costs yoy in 2Q10, associated with the market price of corn this year.
