The higher Integral Milk Price for December is due to an increase of the Guaranteed Price of 1.85 euros per 100 kilograms of milk compared to the previous month. This increase is based on the expectation that reference milk prices will rise due to global market changes. Additionally, a positive adjustment for the past period has been applied.
The Integral Milk Price that FrieslandCampina pays for conventional milk from its member dairy farmers, is based on the Guaranteed Price, supplemented by the maximum Foqus planet premium for sustainability efforts, and after deductions for charges and costs. In addition, FrieslandCampina members may receive a Supplementary Cash Payment, the amount of which depends on FrieslandCampina's results and the retained earnings policy adopted.

Explanation Integral Milk Price
The Integral Milk Price provides insight into the total compensation that FrieslandCampina’s member dairy farmers receive per 100 kilograms of conventional milk. The milk payment that individual dairy farmers receive monthly is calculated based on the value of the amount of protein, fat, and lactose according to a fixed ratio of 6:4:0, and based on the Guaranteed Price for conventional milk at 3.58 percent protein, 4.45 percent fat, and 4.53 percent lactose excluding VAT, per 100 kilograms of milk.
The Guaranteed Price is based on the milk prices from a number of dairy companies (reference companies) in countries in Northwestern Europe, with an average annual delivery of 925,000 kilograms of milk. The difference between the guaranteed price and the milk payment arises from the deduction of charges, costs, and bonuses.
In addition to the Integral Milk Price, FrieslandCampina members may receive a Supplementary Cash Payment, the amount of which depends on FrieslandCampina's results and the retained earnings policy adopted.
