Avignon, May 3, 2010 – Naturex, the global leader in specialty plant-based natural ingredients announces its revenue for 2010 first quarter.

Backed by reinforced production facilities, a sales presence across 5 continents, a broader range of products and a new scope that ranks it as a key player on the natural ingredients market, Naturex has entered a new and extremely promising development cycle.

The Group's activity in the first quarter of 2010 perfectly reflects this new phase in its growth. At € 51.6 million, its consolidated revenues are up 87.6% year-on-year. At constant scope and in constant currencies, invoicing grew 7.4% and was consistent across each of the Group's geographic regions and product ranges.

Given its new business scope, Naturex is targeting revenue growth of 5 to 10% in 2010 (at constant scope and in constant currencies) as well as an improvement in its operating margin. The successful integration of the assets of Natraceutical Group is the strategic priority for Naturex in 2010 in order to ensure its business activities are both homogenous and fully operational by the end of the year.

Naturex will publish its revenues for the first half of 2010 on July 27, after the close of the markets.
