Commenting on the results, Carl McCann, Chairman, said:

"Total Produce has delivered a strong first half-year performance in 2017. Revenue has increased by 12.2% to EUR2.15 billion and adjusted earnings per share has increased by 10.1% to 6.78 cent.

The Group has continued its international expansion with a number of significant North American transactions. It increased its shareholding in the Oppenheimer group ('Oppy') from 35% to 65%. In addition, Oppy concluded important strategic agreements with the New Zealand based T&G Global. The Group's Los Angeles headquartered Progressive Produce business increased its scale with the acquisition of Keystone Fruit Marketing. The Group is actively pursuing further investment opportunities.

We are pleased to announce a 10% increase in the interim dividend to 0.8906 cent per share. The Group continues to target increased full-year adjusted earnings per share in the upper half of the previously-announced range of 12.0 to 13.0 cent per share".

 Overview 
 
 Total Produce (the 'Group') has delivered a strong performance in the 
  first half of 2017. Total revenue, adjusted EBITA and adjusted fully 
  diluted earnings per share grew by 12.2%, 12.0% and 10.1% respectively. 
  The results benefited from the contribution of acquisitions in the 
  period and a circa 4% like-for-like growth in revenue. The Group continues 
  to be cash generative with operating cashflows of EUR33.3m (2016: EUR32.5m) 
  before normal seasonal working capital outflows. 
 
  The Board is pleased to announce a 10.0% increase in the interim dividend 
  to 0.8906 (2016: 0.8096) cent per share. 
 
 Operating review 
 
 Total revenue increased 12.2% to EUR2.15 billion (2016: EUR1.91 billion) 
  with adjusted EBITA up 12.0% to EUR42.5m (2016: EUR37.9m). The results 
  benefited from the contribution of recent acquisitions offset in part 
  by a negative impact on the translation to Euro of the results of foreign 
  currency denominated operations. The deconsolidation of a subsidiary 
  to a joint venture interest had a marginal effect on revenue and adjusted 
  EBITA and no effect on adjusted earnings per share. On a like-for-like 
  basis, excluding acquisitions, divestments and currency translation, 
  revenue was circa 4% higher driven by an increase in average prices 
  with similar volumes. 
 
  Trading conditions overall were satisfactory. In the early part of 
  year, unusual weather conditions in Southern Europe lead to temporary 
  shortages of certain salad and vegetable lines. However given the Group's 
  diversified business model this did not have a material impact. Our 
  North American division experienced relatively less favourable trading 
  conditions in the period. While overall volumes in this division have 
  increased on a like-for-like basis from prior year, the result was 
  impacted by lower pricing due to greater volumes of product in the 
  market and weather conditions that negatively impacted quality. 
 
  The table below details a segmental breakdown of the Group's revenue 
  and adjusted EBITA for the six months ended 30 June 2017. Each of the 
  operating segments is primarily involved in the procurement, marketing 
  and distribution of hundreds of lines of fresh produce. Both European 
  divisions include businesses involved in the marketing and distribution 
  of healthfoods and consumer products. Segment performance is evaluated 
  based on revenue and adjusted EBITA.

 Europe - Eurozone 
 This segment includes the Group's businesses in France, Ireland, Italy, 
  the Netherlands and Spain. Revenue increased by 3.8% to EUR903m (2016: 
  EUR870m) with a 3.9% increase in adjusted EBITA to EUR13.8m (2016: 
  EUR13.3m). Overall trading conditions were favourable despite challenging 
  conditions in Holland. The results were also marginally impacted by 
  the effect of a subsidiary being deconsolidated and treated as a joint 
  venture interest. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestments, 
  revenue on a like-for-like basis was up circa 5% on prior year due 
  primarily to average price increases with a slight increase in volumes. 
 Europe - Non-Eurozone 
  This segment includes the Group's businesses in the Czech Republic, 
  Poland, Scandinavia and the UK. Revenue decreased by 1.4% to EUR800m 
  (2016: EUR811m) with adjusted EBITA increasing by 11.7% to EUR22.1m 
  (2016: EUR19.8m) helped by higher average prices and the incremental 
  contribution of recent bolt-on acquisitions. The result was adversely 
  impacted by the translation of the results of foreign currency denominated 
  operations into Euro particularly the weakening of Sterling by 9.8% 
  and Swedish Krona by 3.3%. 
 
  On a like-for-like basis excluding acquisitions, divestments and currency 
  translation, revenue was circa 2% ahead of the prior year with average 
  price increases offsetting marginal volume decline. 
 
 International 
  This division includes the Group's businesses in North America and 
  India. Revenue increased by 80% to EUR471m (2016: EUR261m) with adjusted 
  EBITA increasing 35% to EUR6.6m (2016: EUR4.9m). The results benefited 
  from the incremental contribution of acquisitions. On 1 March 2017, 
  the Group acquired a further 30% of the Oppenheimer Group ('Oppy') 
  taking its interest to 65% and from this date it was fully consolidated 
  as a subsidiary. Previously the original 35% shareholding interest 
  was equity accounted for as an associate interest. In addition there 
  was a further bolt-on acquisition in North America in the first half 
  of the year. This was offset by relatively challenging trading conditions 
  in North America. While overall volumes have increased from prior year 
  particularly grapes, organics, potatoes and onions, the overall result 
  was impacted by lower pricing with increased volumes of product in 
  the market and weather conditions that negatively impacted quality 
  particularly tomatoes, berries and potatoes. Oppy also incurred start-up 
  losses in a new partnership for growing soft fruit. 
 
 
 Financial Review 
 
 Revenue and Adjusted EBITA 
 An analysis of the factors influencing the changes in revenue and adjusted 
  EBITA are discussed in the operating review above. 
 
 Share of profits of joint ventures and associates 
 The share of after tax profits of joint ventures and associates decreased 
  in the period to EUR4.4m (2016: EUR5.5m) largely due to Oppy Group 
  becoming a subsidiary on 1 March 2017 with the acquisition of a further 
  30% to take the Group's interest to 65%. Prior to this the original 
  35% shareholding was accounted for as an associate interest. This was 
  partly offset by a subsidiary interest being deconsolidated from January 
  2017 due to a change in nature of the shareholder arrangements and 
  being treated as a joint venture interest. Cash dividends received 
  from joint ventures and associates in the period amounted to EUR6.5m 
  (2016: EUR7.8m). 
 
 Intangible asset amortisation 
 Acquisition related intangible asset amortisation in subsidiaries increased 
  to EUR5.0m (2016: EUR3.9m) due to additional charges relating to recent 
  acquisitions. The share of intangible asset amortisation within joint 
  ventures and associates was EUR1.3m (2016: EUR1.3m). 
 
 Exceptional items 
 Exceptional items in the period amounted to a net credit of EUR5.1m 
  (2016: EURNil) before tax. A gain of EUR12.4m arose on the remeasurement 
  to fair value of the Group's original 35% associate investment in the 
  Oppenheimer Group. A settlement credit of EUR1.7m was recognised as 
  a result of an enhanced transfer value offer to members of one of the 
  Irish defined benefit pension schemes. Offsetting this was a EUR9.1m 
  goodwill impairment charge. A full analysis of these exceptional items 
  is set out in Note 5 of the accompanying financial information. 
 
 Operating Profit 
 Operating profit before exceptional items increased by 17.9% in the 
  period to EUR33.4m (2016: EUR28.4m). Operating profit after these items 
  amounted to EUR38.5m (2016: EUR28.4m). 
 
 Net Financial Expense 
 Net financial expense in the period increased to EUR3.1m (2016: EUR2.8m) 
  with higher average net debt in the period due to acquisition expenditure 
  and debt assumed on acquisition partly offset by lower cost of funding. 
  The Group's share of the net interest expense of joint ventures and 
  associates in the period was EUR0.4m (2016: EUR0.2m). Net interest 
  cover for the period was 13.9 times based on adjusted EBITA. 
 
 
 
  Profit Before Tax 
 Excluding acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges 
  and costs and fair value movements on contingent consideration, the 
  adjusted profit before tax increased by 11.8% in the period to EUR39.0m 
  (2016: EUR34.9m). Statutory profit before tax after these items was 
  EUR35.4m (2016: EUR25.6m). 
 
 Non-Controlling Interests 
 The non-controlling interests' share of after tax profits in the period 
  was EUR5.9m (2016: EUR5.4m). Included in this was the non-controlling 
  interests' share of acquisition related intangible asset amortisation 
  charges and costs with related tax impact of EUR1.3m (2016: EUR0.8m). 
  Excluding these non-trading items, the non-controlling interests' share 
  of after tax profits increased by EUR1.0m. The increase in the period 
  was due to the non-controlling interests' incremental share of profits 
  in recent acquisitions and overall good trading conditions in certain 
  non-wholly owned companies offset in part by the effect of a deconsolidation 
  of a subsidiary in January 2017. 
 
 Adjusted and Basic Earnings per Share 
 Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share increased 10.1% in the six 
  month period to 6.78 cent per share (2016: 6.16 cent) assisted by the 
  incremental contribution from new acquisitions. Management believes 
  that adjusted earnings per share, which excludes exceptional items, 
  acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, 
  fair value movements on contingent consideration and related tax on 
  these items, provides a fairer reflection of the underlying trading 
  performance of the Group. 
 
  Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share after these 
  non-trading items amounted to 6.95 cent per share (2016: 4.77 cent) 
  and 6.88 cent per share (2016: 4.70 cent) respectively. 
 
  Note 6 of the accompanying financial information provides details of 
  the calculation of the respective earnings per share amounts. 
 
 
 Cash Flow and Net Debt 
 
 Net debt at 30 June 2017 was EUR153.3m compared to EUR95.7m at 30 June 
  2016 and EUR48.4m at 31 December 2016. The increase compared to 31 
  December 2016 is due to acquisitions (including debt assumed) and normal 
  seasonal working capital outflows. Net debt relative to annualised 
  adjusted EBITDA is 1.5 times and interest is covered 13.9 times by 
  adjusted EBITA. Average net debt for the six months ended June 2017 
  was EUR139.6m compared to EUR106.5m for the six months ended 30 June 
  2016 and EUR95.9m for the twelve months ended 31 December 2016. In 
  addition, the Group has trade receivables financing at 30 June 2017 
  of EUR48.4m (30 June 2016: EUR49.4m and 31 December 2016: EUR43.0m). 
 
  The Group generated EUR33.3m (2016: EUR32.5m) in operating cash flows 
  in the period before seasonal working capital outflows of EUR45.9m 
  (2016: EUR57.7m). Cash outflows on routine capital expenditure, net 
  of disposals, were EUR10.4m (2016: EUR9.0m). Dividends received from 
  joint ventures and associates in the period were EUR6.5m (2016: EUR7.8m) 
  while dividends paid to non-controlling interests increased to EUR8.5m 
  (2016: EUR3.8m). 
 
  Cash outflows on acquisitions amounted to EUR32.2m (2016: EUR34.9m) 
  and there was EUR25.2m net debt (2016: EUR0.8m cash) assumed on acquisition. 
  Contingent and deferred consideration payments relating to prior period 
  acquisitions were EUR8.8m (2016: EUR3.6m). There was a EUR6.7m cash 
  effect following the change in accounting of an investee from a subsidiary 
  interest to a joint venture interest. In the period there were cash 
  outflows of EUR8.9m (2016: EUR4.7m) on non-routine capital expenditure. 
  The Group distributed EUR7.2m (2016: EUR6.5m) in dividends to equity 
  shareholders in the period representing the payment of the final 2016 
  dividend. There was a positive movement of EUR8.6m (2016: EUR2.6m) 
  on the translation of foreign currency denominated debt into Euro at 
  30 June 2017 due primarily to the weaker Sterling, Swedish Krona, Canadian 
  and US Dollar exchange rates at the period end compared to those prevailing 
  at 31 December 2016.

 Defined Benefit Pension Obligations 
 
 The net liability of the Group's defined benefit pension schemes 
  (net of deferred tax) decreased to EUR21.4m at 30 June 2017 from 
  EUR31.8m at 31 December 2016. The decrease in the liability is due 
  to the positive effect of an enhanced transfer value offer made to 
  members in one of the Irish schemes, an increase in the Eurozone 
  discount rates underlying the calculations of the present value of 
  the scheme's obligations and positive investment returns on pension 
  scheme assets. This was offset by the effect of a decrease in the 
  UK discount rates. Further details are outlined in Note 7 of the 
  accompanying financial information. 
 
 Shareholders' Equity 
 
 Shareholders' equity has increased by EUR8.2m to EUR234.5m at 30 
  June 2017. Profit after tax of EUR22.4m attributable to equity shareholders, 
  and remeasurement gains of EUR7.0m (net of deferred tax) on post-employment 
  benefit schemes, were offset by a currency translation loss of EUR4.0m 
  on the retranslation of the net assets of foreign currency denominated 
  operations to Euro, a EUR14.1m increase in put-option liability reserve 
  and the payment of dividends of EUR7.2m to equity shareholders of 
  the Company. 
 
 
 
 Development Activity 
 
 A key part of the Group's strategy is growth by acquisition. In line 
  with this strategy the Group made a number of acquisitions and investments 
  during the six months ended 30 June 2017 with committed investment 
  of EUR34.4m including EUR1.7m of deferred and contingent consideration 
  payable on the achievement of future profit targets. 
 
  On 1 March 2017, the Group completed the purchase of a further 30% 
  of the Oppenheimer Group which trades under the name of Oppy, for 
  a consideration of EUR28.2m. Together with the initial 35% acquired 
  in 2013, this brings the Group's shareholding in Oppy to 65%. Headquartered 
  in Vancouver, Canada with annual sales of almost CAD$1 billion (EUR720m), 
  Oppy is a leading provider of fresh produce to its strong base of 
  retail, wholesale and foodservice customers throughout the United 
  States and Canada. In addition to this, long term put and call options 
  are in place for the remaining 35% shareholding, not exercisable 
  before 2020. 
 
  In April 2017, Oppy entered strategically-important agreements with 
  New Zealand based T&G Global Limited which will enable both parties 
  to enhance their market positions as co-shareholders in two US produce 
  businesses. 
 
  In February 2017, the Group's Los Angeles headquartered fresh produce 
  business, Progressive Produce LLC, acquired the trade and business 
  assets of Keystone Fruit Marketing Inc. The Group made a number of 
  other bolt-on investments in Europe all of which complement the Group's 
  existing activities. 
 
  Further details on 2017 development activity including details of 
  consideration paid and assets and liabilities acquired are provided 
  in Note 9 of the accompanying financial information. 
 
  The Group continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities 
  in both new and existing markets. 
 
 Dividends 
 
 The Board has declared an interim dividend of 0.8906 (2016: 0.8096) 
  cent per share, which represents a 10.0% increase on the comparative 
  period. The dividend will be paid on 13 October 2017 to shareholders 
  on the register at 15 September 2017 subject to dividend withholding 
  tax. In accordance with company law and IFRS, this dividend has not 
  been provided for in the balance sheet at 30 June 2017. 
 
 
 Summary and Outlook 
 
    Total Produce has delivered a strong first half-year performance 
     in 2017. Revenue has increased by 12.2% to EUR2.15 billion, and adjusted 
     earnings per share has increased by 10.1% to 6.78 cent. 
 
     The Group has continued its international expansion with a number 
     of significant North American transactions. It increased its shareholding 
     in the Oppenheimer group ('Oppy') from 35% to 65%. In addition, Oppy 
     concluded important strategic agreements with the New Zealand based 
     T&G Global. The Group's Los Angeles headquartered Progressive Produce 
     business increased its scale with the acquisition of Keystone Fruit 
     Marketing. The Group is actively pursuing further investment opportunities. 
 
     We are pleased to announce a 10% increase in the interim dividend 
     to 0.8906 cent per share. The Group continues to target increased 
     full-year adjusted earnings per share in the upper half of the previously-announced 
     range of 12.0 to 13.0 cent per share.

 Total Produce plc 
 Notes to the Interim Results for the half-year ended 30 June 2017 
 
 
 1.          Basis of preparation 
 
 The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Total 
  Produce plc as at, and for the six months ended 30 June 2017, have 
  been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, 
  as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies and methods of computation 
  adopted in the preparation of the financial information are consistent 
  with those set out in the Group's consolidated financial statements 
  for the year ended 31 December 2016, with the exception of those 
  disclosed below, which were prepared in accordance with International 
  Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. 
 
  The interim financial information for both the six months ended 
  30 June 2017 and the comparative six months ended 30 June 2016 is 
  unaudited. The financial information for the year ended 31 December 
  2016 represents an abbreviated version of the Group's statutory 
  financial statements for that year. Those statutory financial statements 
  contained an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the 
  Registrar of Companies. 
 
  The preparation of interim financial statements requires management 
  to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application 
  of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
  income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 
  In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, 
  the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's 
  accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty 
  were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements 
  as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
  Changes in accounting policy 
  There are no new standards or amendments that are effective for 
  the Group's financial year ending on 31 December 2017 and there 
  have been no changes in accounting policy from those for the financial 
  year ending the 31 December 2016. 
 
  New standards not yet effective 
  The following new standards are not yet effective but the impact 
  of these standards on the Total Produce Group are currently under 
  review. 
 
  IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which is effective from 1 January 2018 
  and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. 
  The standard includes requirements for the recognition, measurement 
  and derecognition of financial instruments, introduces new hedge 
  accounting rules and a new expected credit loss model for calculating 
  impairment of financial assets. Total Produce is still assessing 
  the impact of this new standard on the Group Financial Statements. 
 
  IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is effective 
  from 1 January 2018 and replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction 
  Contracts and associated interpretations. The standard provides 
  a single model to be applied to all contracts with customers. Total 
  Produce is still assessing the impact of this new standard but it 
  is not expected to have a material impact on the Group Financial 
  Statements. 
 
  IFRS 16 Leases which is effective from 1 January 2019 and replaces 
  IAS 17 Leases. It introduces a single lessee accounting model to 
  be adopted and accordingly the majority of all lease agreements 
  will now result in the recognition in the balance sheet of a right-of-use 
  asset and a lease liability. The income statement charge in relation 
  to all leases will now comprise a depreciation element relating 
  to the right-of-use asset and also an interest expense relating 
  to the lease liability. The Group is currently performing a detailed 
  assessment of the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 and expects 
  to disclose its transition approach and quantitative information 
  before adoption. 
 
 
 2.                 Translation of foreign currencies 
 
 The reporting currency of the Group is Euro. The exchange rates 
  used for the translation of the results and balance sheets into 
  Euro are as follows:

 3.    Segmental Analysis 
 
 The table below details a segmental breakdown of the Group's total 
  revenue and adjusted EBITA for the six months ended 30 June 2017, the 
  six months ended 30 June 2016 and the full year ended 31 December 2016. 
 
  In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group's reportable operating segments 
  based on how performance is currently assessed and resources are allocated 
  are as follows: 
         -   Europe - Eurozone: This reportable segment is an aggregation 
              of thirteen operating segments principally in France, Ireland, 
              Italy, the Netherlands and Spain primarily involved in the 
              procurement, marketing and distribution of fresh produce and 
              some healthfoods and consumer goods products. These operating 
              segments have been aggregated because they have similar economic 
              characteristics. 
         -   Europe - Non-Eurozone: This operating segment is an aggregation 
              of six operating segments in Scandinavia, United Kingdom, Poland 
              and the Czech Republic primarily involved in the procurement, 
              marketing and distribution of fresh produce and some healthfoods 
              and consumer goods products. These operating segments have 
              been aggregated because they have similar economic characteristics. 
         -   International: This segment is an aggregation of six operating 
              segments in North America and India primarily involved in the 
              procurement, marketing and distribution of fresh produce. The 
              North American sports nutrition business was disposed of in 
              April 2016. 
 
 Segment performance is evaluated based on revenue and adjusted EBITA. 
  Management believe that adjusted EBITA, while not a defined term under 
  IFRS, provides a fair reflection of the underlying trading performance 
  of the Group. Adjusted EBITA represents earnings before interest, tax, 
  acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, 
  fair value movements on contingent consideration and exceptional items. 
  It also excludes the Group's share of these items within joint ventures 
  and associates. Adjusted EBITA is therefore measured differently from 
  operating profit in the Group financial statements as explained and 
  reconciled in detail in the analysis below. 
 
  Finance costs, finance income and income taxes are managed on a centralised 
  basis. These items are not allocated between operating segments for 
  the purpose of the information presented to the Chief Operating Decision 
  Maker ('CODM') and are accordingly omitted from the detailed segmental 
  analysis that follows.

 (i)                         Acquisition related intangible asset amortisation charges are 
                              not allocated to operating segments in the Group's management 
                              reports. 
 (ii)                        Fair value movements on contingent consideration are not allocated 
                              to operating segments in the Group's management reports. 
 (iii)                       Acquisition related costs are transaction costs directly related 
                              to the acquisition of subsidiaries and are not allocated to operating 
                              segments in the Group's management reports. 
 (iv)                        Under IFRS, included within profit before tax is the Group's share 
                              of joint ventures and associates profit after acquisition related 
                              intangible amortisation charges and costs, tax and interest. In 
                              the Group's management reports these items are excluded from the 
                              adjusted EBITA calculation. 
 (v)                         Exceptional items (Note 5) are not allocated to operating segments 
                              in the Group's management reports. 
 (vi)                        Financial income and expense is primarily managed at Group level, 
                              and is therefore not allocated to individual operating segments 
                              in the Group's management reports. 
 
 
 
 4.   Adjusted profit before tax, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA 
 
 
 For the purpose of assessing the Group's performance, Total Produce 
  management believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, adjusted 
  profit before tax and adjusted earnings per share (Note 6) are the 
  most appropriate measures of the underlying performance of the Group.

 (a) Fair value uplift on associate investment 
  As outlined in detail in Note 9, On 1 March 2017 the Group acquired 
  a further 30% shareholding in the Oppenheimer Group ('Oppy') to take 
  its total shareholding to 65%. As a result of this increased shareholding, 
  Oppy became a subsidiary from this date and in accordance with IFRS, 
  the Group's previously held 35% associate interest was remeasured to 
  fair value resulting in a fair value gain of EUR11,291,000. This gain, 
  together with the reclassification of EUR1,137,000 of currency translation 
  gains from the currency translation reserve, were reclassified to the 
  income statement resulting in an exceptional gain of EUR12,428,000. 
 
  (b) Credit arising from settlement of the Group's defined benefit pension 
  arrangements 
  An Enhanced Transfer Value ('ETV') offer was made to members of one 
  of the Irish defined benefit pension schemes during the period. As 
  a result of members taking up this ETV offer, settlement credits of 
  EUR1,839,000, net of associated costs of EUR129,000, an exceptional 
  gain of EUR1,710,000 was recognised in the income statement. See Note 
  7 for further details. 
 
  (c) Impairment of goodwill 
  In 2017 the Group recognised a non-cash impairment charge of EUR9,075,000 
  in relation to a fresh produce business in the Netherlands which had 
  experienced a difficult trading environment resulting in a slower recovery 
  than had been anticipated. In 2016 the Group recognised a non-cash 
  impairment charge of EUR5,183,000 in relation to a sports nutrition 
  business in the UK as a result of a reduction in the forecasted profitability 
  due to a more competitive trading environment. 
  (d) Profit on disposal of property and leasehold interests 
  During 2016 the Group received compensation for the exit of a leasehold 
  interest. The compensation of EUR1,889,000 net of associated costs 
  was recognised within other operating income. Also during 2016, the 
  Group received compensation for costs arising from a fire in a facility 
  in Europe which caused damage to buildings, plant and machinery, motor 
  vehicles and small amounts of inventory. The facility has been repaired 
  and was fully operational from mid-2016 onwards. The insurance income, 
  net of associated costs and impairment, recognised in 2016 was EUR1,885,000 
  and was disclosed as an exceptional item in the income statement. 
  (e) Tax charge on exceptional items 
  The net tax effect on the exceptional items above was a charge of EUR214,000 
  in the period. The net tax charge on exceptional items for the year 
  ended 31 December 2016 was an EUR868,000 charge offset by a deferred 
  tax credit of EUR182,000 on reassessment of deferred tax on prior year 
  fair value movements on investment property. 
  Effect on exceptional items on cashflow statements 
  The net effect of the items above was a cash outflow of EUR1,672,000 
  for the six month period to 30 June 2017. The net effect of exceptional 
  items for the year ended 31 December 2016 was a cash inflow of EUR3,030,000.

 Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share 
 Management believe that adjusted fully diluted earnings per share 
  as set out below provides a fairer reflection of the underlying trading 
  performance of the Group after eliminating the effect of acquisition 
  related intangible asset amortisation charges and costs, fair value 
  movements on contingent consideration , property revaluations and 
  exceptional items and the related tax on these items. 
 
  Adjusted fully diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing 
  the adjusted profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the 
  parent (as calculated below) by the weighted average number of ordinary 
  shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all ordinary 
  shares and options with a dilutive effect.

 The table above summarises the movements in the net liability of the 
  Group's various defined benefit pension schemes in Ireland, the UK, 
  Continental Europe and North America in accordance with IAS 19 Employee 
  Benefits (2011). 
 
  The Group's balance sheet at 30 June 2017 reflects pension assets 
  of EUR0.1m in respect of schemes in surplus and pension liabilities 
  of EUR25.5m in respect of schemes in deficit, resulting in a net deficit 
  of EUR25.4m and a net deficit of EUR21.4m after deferred tax. 
 
  The current and past service costs, settlement credits and the net 
  finance expense on the net scheme liabilities are charged to the income 
  statement. Remeasurement gains and losses are recognised in other 
  comprehensive income. 
 
  In determining the valuation of pension obligations, consultation 
  with independent actuaries is required. The estimation of employee 
  benefit obligations requires the determination of appropriate assumptions 
  such as discount rates, inflations rates and mortality rates. 
 
  In 2017 the Group initiated an Enhanced Transfer Value (ETV) program 
  whereby an offer above the minimum statutory transfer value was made 
  to all active and deferred members in one of the Irish defined benefit 
  pension schemes to transfer their accumulated accrued benefits from 
  the defined benefit pension scheme and receive an ETV. For those members 
  who elected to avail of the offer, the Group transferred EUR1.7m to 
  the defined pension scheme to fund the ETV and EUR7.3m was paid from 
  the pension scheme's assets in a full and final settlement of defined 
  benefit obligations of EUR9.1m. The ETV program resulted in a net 
  accounting credit of EUR1.7m in 2017, representing the net settlement 
  of the defined benefit obligations of employees who elected for the 
  ETV option of EUR1.8m, net of professional fees incurred of EUR0.1m. 
  This credit has been disclosed as an exceptional item in the Group's 
  income statement (Note 5). The net effect of the program was to improve 
  the funding position and reduce future volatility. 
 
  The decrease in the net liability during the period was primarily 
  due to the effects of the ETV offer, as described above, and an increase 
  in discount rates in the Eurozone, which results in a decrease in 
  the net present value of the schemes' obligations and positive returns 
  of 2.7% on pension scheme assets in the six month period. This was 
  offset in part by a reduction in the discount rate for the UK schemes. 
  The discount rate in Ireland and the Eurozone increased to 2.20% (31 
  December 2016: 1.90% and 30 June 2016: 1.70%) and in the UK decreased 
  to 2.60% (31 December 2016: (2.75 - 2.80% and 30 June 2016: 3.10%).

 The table above summarises the movements in the net liability of the 
  Group's other post-employment benefit obligations. 
 
  Certain employees in one of the Group's North American subsidiaries 
  hold non-voting shares in the subsidiary. The Company has a contractual 
  arrangement in place to pay holders of these shares an agreed benefit 
  on retirement, based on profit levels in the company, to redeem these 
  shares. 
 
  In accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011), the net liability 
  of the obligation is measured as the net present value of the amounts 
  that are expected to be paid to employees for the shares at retirement. 
 
  The interest expense, which represents the unwinding of the net present 
  value of the liabilities, is charged to the income statement. Remeasurement 
  gains and losses, representing all other changes to the estimate of 
  the liability, are recognised in other comprehensive income. 
 
  Determining the valuation of the obligations requires the determination 
  of appropriate assumptions such as projected growth in profits, forfeiture 
  rates and retirement dates. 
 
 
 8.   Dividends 
 
 
 The Board has approved an interim dividend of 0.8906 (2016: 0.8096) 
  cent per share which represents a 10.0% increase on the comparative 
  period. This dividend, which will be subject to Irish withholding 
  tax rules, will be paid on 13 October 2017 to shareholders on the 
  register at 15 September 2017. In accordance with company law and 
  IFRS, this dividend has not been provided for in the balance sheet 
  at 30 June 2017. The final dividend for 2016 of EUR7,177,000 was paid 
  in May 2017. 
 
  During the period, the Group paid dividends of EUR8,447,000 (2016: 
  EUR3,766,000) to non-controlling shareholders in certain of the Group's 
  non wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 A key part of the Group's strategy is to grow by acquisition. In 
  line with this strategy the Group made a number of acquisitions 
  and investments in the six month period as explained below. 
 
 Investments in subsidiaries 
  During the six month period, the Group made a number of acquisitions 
  in the fresh produce sector in North America and in Europe. On 1 
  March 2017, the Group completed the purchase of a further 30% of 
  the Oppenheimer Group ('Oppy') for consideration of EUR28.2m. In 
  addition to the initial 35% acquired in 2013, this brings the Group's 
  shareholding in GVL to 65%. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with 
  annual sales of almost CAD$ 1 billion (EUR720m), Oppy is a leading 
  provider of fresh produce to its strong base of retail, wholesale 
  and foodservice customers throughout the United States and Canada. 
  In addition to this, long term put and call options are in place 
  for the remaining 35% shareholding, exercisable from early 2020. 
 
  In February 2017, the Group's Los Angeles headquartered fresh produce 
  business, Progressive Produce LLC acquired the trade and business 
  assets of Keystone Fruit Marketing Inc. The Group made a number 
  of other bolt-on investments in Europe all of which complement the 
  Group's existing activities. 
 
  Details of consideration and assets and liabilities arising on acquisition 
  of subsidiaries, the largest being Oppy is as follows:

 The principal factor contributing to the recognition of goodwill 
  of EUR42,911,000 is the value and skills of the assembled workforce 
  in the acquired entities along with the anticipated cost savings 
  and synergies arising from the integration into the Group's existing 
  business. 
 
 The Group incurred acquisition related costs of EUR715,000 on legal 
  and professional fees and due diligence in respect of completed acquisitions. 
  These costs have been included in operating expenses in the period. 
 
  The initial assignment of fair values to net assets for all investments 
  has been performed on a provisional basis in respect of these acquisitions 
  given the timing of the completion of these transactions and will 
  be finalised within twelve months from the acquisition date, as permitted 
  by IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations. 
 
   Disposal of shareholding to non-controlling interests and investment 
   in associate 
   On 6 April 2017, Oppy entered strategically-important agreements 
   with the New Zealand based T&G Global Limited ('T&G') which will 
   enable both parties to enhance their market positions as co-shareholders 
   in two US produce businesses. 
 
   T&G, through its wholly owned subsidiary Enza Fresh, previously held 
   a 15% shareholding in Oppy's largest subsidiary, the US focussed 
   marketer David Oppenheimer & Company LLC ('DOC') and a US transport 
   company David Oppenheimer Transport ('DOT'). On 6 April 2017, Enza 
   Fresh merged with Grandview Brokerage LLC ('GBLLC') and as part of 
   this agreement obtained a 39.4% shareholding in GBLLC with the right 
   thereafter to match the effective share of GBLLC held by Total Produce. 
   As GBLLC owns 100% of DOC and 15% of DOT, the transaction resulted 
   in T&G increasing its shareholding in DOC from 15% to 39.4% and reducing 
   its interest in DOT from 15% to 6%. The net proceeds received by 
   Oppy for the disposal of the shareholding in GBLLC were EUR8,631,000. 
 
   Separately Oppy acquired from T&G a 50% share of a T&G Californian 
   headquartered US export business known in the market as Delica North 
   America ('Delica NAM') for a cash consideration of EUR8,085,000. 
   Delica NAM is focussed on exporting a wide range of fresh produce 
   from the US predominantly to the important Chinese and south east 
   Asian markets. Under the terms of the shareholders agreement, Oppy 
   is considered to have significant influence rather than joint control 
   of this investment and therefore has accounted for it as an associate 
   in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures 
   (2011). 
 
 Put option liability 
  Within certain current year transactions, non-controlling shareholders 
  have an option to put their shareholding to Total Produce. Up to 
  the point of exercise of these put options, the non-controlling shareholder 
  continues to have a right to dividends and voting rights on the shareholdings 
  that are subject to the put option. Where the holder of the put retains 
  a present ownership interest in the shares, the Group applies the 
  partial recognition of non-controlling interest method for put options. 
  The non-controlling interest is therefore recognised in the traditional 
  manner but is transferred against the put liability reserve for presentation 
  purposes in the balance sheet. 
 
  The estimated fair value at date of acquisition for the consideration 
  on exercise of these put options was EUR25,072,000. This put option 
  liability has been recognised in a put option reserve attributable 
  to the equity holders of the parent. The valuation method applied 
  for the purposes of this fair value assessment was the option price 
  formula in the share purchase agreements with the inputs based on 
  the budget plan for 2017 and an application of a steady growth rate, 
  discounted to a net present value with the assumption that the put 
  option would be exercised at the earliest possible date. In accordance 
  with the Group accounting policy for put options (partial recognition 
  of NCI method), and for presentation purposes in the balance sheet, 
  the carrying value of the NCI relating to these shareholdings with 
  a put option at period end has been transferred to the put option 
  reserve. 
 
 Payment of contingent consideration 
 During the period, the Group paid EUR8,830,000 of contingent consideration 
  relating to prior period acquisitions. 
 
  The Group continues to actively pursue further investment opportunities 
  in both new and existing markets. 
 
 
 
 Subsidiary becoming a joint venture 
 In 2017, as a result of changes in the nature of a shareholder relationship 
  it was determined that the Group no longer held a controlling influence 
  in an investee and that the Group jointly controlled this investee. 
  Thereafter the investee was equity accounted as a joint venture interest. 
  The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities derecognised:

 1. The Group has availed of the exemption under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: 
  Disclosure for additional disclosures where fair value closely approximates 
  carrying value. 
 
  * For the purposes of this analysis prepayments have not been included 
  within other receivables. Carrying value of other financial assets, 
  trade receivables and other receivables are stated net of impairment 
  provisions where appropriate and consequently fair value is considered 
  to approximate to carrying value. 
 
  A number of other put and call options arising from acquisitions are 
  of immaterial fair value. 
 
  The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing 
  the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: 
   *    Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets 
        for identical assets or liabilities; 
 
 
   *    Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which 
        have a significant effect on the recorded fair value 
        are observable, either directly or indirectly; 
 
 
   *    Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a 
        significant effect on the recorded fair value that 
        are not based on observable market data. 
 
 
 
  At 30 June 2017, 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016 the Group recognised 
   and measured the following instruments at fair value:

  Contingent consideration 
  Contingent consideration represents the provision for the net present 
   value of the amounts expected to be payable in respect of acquisitions 
   which are subject to earn-out arrangements. Contingent consideration 
   for each individual transaction is valued internally by the Group 
   Finance team in consultation with Senior Management and updated as 
   required at each reporting period. 
  Put option liability 
  The Group has a number of contractual put options and forward commitments 
   in place in relation to non-controlling interest ('NCI') shares in 
   subsidiaries whereby the NCI shareholder can require the Group, or 
   the group has agreed to acquire ('forward commitment') the shares 
   in these subsidiaries at various future dates. The value of the put 
   option or forward commitment liability recognised represents management's 
   best estimate of the fair value of the amounts which may be payable 
   discounted to net present value. The put option or forward commitment 
   for each individual transaction is valued internally by the Group 
   Finance team in consultation with Senior Management and updated as 
   required at each reporting period.
