2023 Interim Results and Investor Presentation
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc (AIM: DKL) , the West African agribusiness company focused on building a portfolio of sustainable and diversified projects, is pleased is to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023.
The Company will be hosting an investor presentation in the form of a Q&A session at 12.30 p.m. UK time on 11 October 2023. The call will be hosted by Lincoln Moore (Executive Director), Youval Rasin (CEO) and Shai Kol (Deputy CEO and CFO), who will discuss the interim results and provide an update on activity across its portfolio of projects. Further information about the call can be found at the end of this announcement.
Key Highlights
Palm Oil Operation
-- H1 2022 revenue of EUR20.7m, a 5.1% increase from EUR19.7m in H1 2022 - includes sales of CPO, Palm Kernel Oil ('PKO'), Palm Kernel Cake ('PKC') and Nursery Plants
-- We achieved a 49% increase in H1 2023 CPO production compared to H1 2022, however, the H1 2022 gross margin - EUR3.5m, EBITDA - EUR2.3m and net profit after tax EUR1.2m were below H1 2022 comparisons due to the timing difference of a high volume of sales occurring post H1 2023 due to the late and strong production high season:
o H1 2023 CPO inventory of 4,870 tonnes compared to 650 tonnes at H1 2022
o H1 2023 PKO inventory of 1,080 tonnes compared to 300 tonnes at H2 2022
-- H1 2023 stock on hand has been sold in H2 2023 and whilst CPO and PKO prices traded lower than the record prices in 2022, our current sales prices remain historically strong and together with continued strong production H2 2023 is currently tracking significantly ahead of H2 2022.
Cashew Operation
-- The Cashew Operation commenced commercial operations in H1 2023 recording first revenue of EUR0.6m and a loss after tax of EUR1.1m. The loss is due to daily production volumes achieved being below operational capacity during the ramp-up phase of the operation.
-- The Cashew Operation production volumes continue to gradually improve in H2 2023 which should drive improvement in financial outcomes.
-- The other main value drivers of the Cashew Operation including the price of Raw Cashew Nut ('RCN'), the Cashew extraction rate and sales prices are delivering in line with expectations.

Operational Highlights - Palm Oil Operation
-- The Palm Oil Operation experienced a significantly stronger high season compared to H1 2022 with Fresh Fruit Bunch ('FFB') volumes and Crude Palm Oil ('CPO') production increasing 52.1% and 49.0% respectively compared to H1 2022.
-- CPO sales quantities increased 22.4% in H1 2023 compared to last year. Given the high season arrived much later than normal our CPO stock levels at the end of H1 2023 are much higher than typical at over 4,800tn.
-- The H1 2023 average CPO sales price achieved was historically strong at EUR934 per tonne, albeit 7.8% below the record H1 2022 CPO sales price.
-- The CPO extraction rate for H1 2023 of 21.9% was slightly lower than H2 2022 but remains well in line with expectations.

-- The Cashew Operation achieved a number of key milestones during H1 2023 including, increasing ownership to 100%, commencing commercial operations, first operational sales and post period end completing the BRC global food standard assessment.
-- The ramp up of daily production whilst slower than expected, is continually increasing which should be reflected in the upcoming Q3 2023 production volumes.
-- All other key elements of the value chain from raw material purchasing to sales prices with the exception of daily production volumes are in line with expectations.

Lincoln Moore, Dekel 's Executive Director , said: "The Palm Oil Operation is experiencing potentially its best year in terms of both relatively strong production volumes and sales price which sets up a strong full year financial performance. The Cashew Operation has significant upside as daily production volumes continue to increase since transitioning to commercial production in early 2023 and we look forward to seeing the benefits of both operations working well in tandem as 2023 progresses".

Notes:
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc is a multi-project, multi-commodity agriculture company focused on West Africa. It has a portfolio of projects in Côte d'Ivoire at various stages of development: a fully operational palm oil project in Ayenouan where fruit produced by local smallholders is processed at the Company's 60,000tpa capacity crude palm oil mill and a cashew processing project in Tiebissou, which is currently transitioning to full commercial production in 2023.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Palm Oil Operation
Although the production high season commenced later than typical, we saw an excellent period of production from March to June 2023 which culminated in an increase in CPO production of 49% in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022. The period of relatively high CPO production has continued into H2 where in September 2023 we expect to record our 8(th) consecutive month of higher like for like production compared to 2022. The improvement in production volumes is largely due to a much stronger FFB harvesting season compared to 2022 and a period of smooth operating performance from our logistics and milling teams who have been able to take full advantage of improved market volumes. CPO sales volumes in H1 2023 also increased 22.4% compared to H1 2022 although the strong and late timing of the high season meant we held over 4,000tn of additional CPO stock at the end of H1 2023. This stock has been sold subsequent to half year end and we are tracking to achieve annual CPO production and sales volumes close to record levels in 2023.
International CPO and PKO sales prices traded well above historically averages, albeit lower than the record levels achieved in 2022. International CPO prices currently sit at around EUR875-900 per tonne and whilst we have seen some recent pressure on our local CPO prices largely due to high inventory levels resulting from the late strong high season, CPO prices currently remain very supporting for our Palm Oil Operation.
The combined balance of relatively strong CPO production and relatively high CPO prices positions the Palm Oil Operation very well to exceed our record 2021 results.
Cashew Operation
The Cashew Operation achieved a number of key milestones during H1 2023 including commencing commercial operations, first operational sales and post period end completing the BRC global food standard assessment. All other key elements of the value chain from raw material purchasing to sales prices with the exception of daily production volumes are in line with expectations. The ramp up of daily production has been slower than we would like due to teething problems particularly in the shelling and peeling machinery. We are however seeing gradual improvement which should be reflected in the upcoming Q3 2023 production volumes data and we are hopeful to see a move towards operational profitability in Q4 2023.
As previously stated, the Cashew Operation is integral to our short and medium term growth plans. It has a nameplate capacity of 15,000 tonnes per annum ('tpa'), production at the plant can be ramped up by 50% at no extra cost by simply increasing the number of shifts from two to three per day. From 15,000tpa and at a capex cost of EUR5-6 million, the mill's capacity can be doubled to 30,000tpa, which the Directors estimate could generate revenues in the region of approximately EUR35 million per annum based on current prices.
Other Projects
Whilst we have further expansion plans, including the processing of a third commodity in addition to clean energy aspirations, these projects are on hold as we focus on enhancing the production volumes of the Cashew Operation.
Group Financial
A summary of the financial performance for H1 2023, in addition to the comparatives for the previous 5 years, is outlined in the table below.
H1 2023 H1 2022 H1 2021 H1 2020 H1 2019 H1 2018 CPO production (tonnes) 25,166 16,893 26,515 23,882 28,934 22,242 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Average CPO price per tonne EUR934 EUR1,013 EUR817 EUR602 EUR505 EUR549 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Revenue (all products) EUR21.3m EUR19.7m EUR21.7m EUR15.4m EUR14.6m EUR14.1m ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Gross Margin EUR3.4m EUR5.0m EUR4.9m EUR2.6m EUR2.3m EUR2.1m ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Gross Margin % 15.5% 25.4% 22.6% 16.9% 15.8% 14.9% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Overheads (EUR1.8m) (EUR1.7m) (EUR1.7m) (EUR1.4m) (EUR1.5m) (EUR1.6m) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- EBITDA EUR2.5m EUR4.0m EUR3.9m EUR1.9m EUR1.4m EUR1.1m ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Profit / (Loss) After Tax EUR0.4m EUR2.3m EUR2.0m EUR0.5m (EUR0.1m) (EUR0.5m) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Dekel achieved H1 2023 EBITDA of EUR2.2m and net profit after tax of EUR0.4m compared to EUR4m EBITDA and EUR2.3m net profit after tax in H1 2022. This result was driven by:
-- A decrease in the H1 2023 Palm Oil Operation EBITDA was largely due to timing differences associated with the sale of significant quantities of H1 2023 CPO and PKO production taking place after H1 2023 period end. Conversely the significant increase in sales volumes in H2 2023 should set up a strong H2 2023 compared to H2 2022.
-- A decrease in CPO and PKO selling prices in H1 2023 compared to record prices in achieved in H1 2022 as well as a small decrease in the CPO extraction rate.
-- The commercial commencement of the Cashew Operation in 2023 meaning previous costs which were capitalised pre commercial production being recorded as operational costs resulting in an increase in the Net loss .
Outlook
In the past, we have seen the Palm Oil operation have periods of strong pricing and weak volumes or vice versa. 2023 is arguably the best year we have seen in terms of both relatively strong volumes and pricing which sets us up for a strong financial performance. The Cashew Operation has significant upside as daily production volumes continue to improve and we look forward to seeing the benefits of both operations working well in tandem as quickly as possible.
I would like to thank the Board, Management, our employees and advisers for their support and hard work over the course of the year.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.) f. Cash flow from operations and working capital deficiency.
As of 30 June 2023, the Group has a working capital deficiency of EUR4 million (EUR2.6 million as of 31 December 2022). The Palm Oil operation is performing well in 2023 recording operating profit of EUR2.8 million (including depreciation of EUR0.8 millions) for the 6 months ending 30 June 2023 (see also note 3 operating segments). When combined with record inventory levels of CPO and PKO on 30 June 2023 due to the strong late palm oil high season, Palm Oil operation is expected to generate close to record operating profit and generate material operating cash flows for the full year ending 31 December 2023. In addition, the Cashew Operation is gradually increasing daily production and is forecast to deliver positive operating cash flows in the coming months. The Group has prepared detailed forecasted cash flows through the end of 2024, which indicate that the Group should have positive cash flows from its Group operations. However, the operations of the Group are subject to various market conditions, including quantity and quality of fruit harvests and market prices that are not under the Group's control that could have an adverse effect on the Group's future cash flows.
Based on the above, the Company's management believes it will have sufficient funds necessary to continue its operations and to meet its obligations as they become due for at least a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements:
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, except as described in c. below.
b. Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair value.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) c. Initial adoption of amendments to existing financial reporting and accounting standards: 1. Amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors":
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors" ("the Amendment"), in which it introduces a new definition of "accounting estimates".
Accounting estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The Amendment clarifies the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors.
The Amendment is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and is applicable to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
2. Amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes":
In May 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes" ("IAS 12"), which narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS 12.24 ("the Amendment").
According to the recognition guidelines of deferred tax assets and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of certain transactions. This exception is referred to as the "initial recognition exception". The Amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception and clarifies that it does not apply to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that are not a business combination and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, even if they meet the other criteria of the initial recognition exception.
The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. In relation to leases and decommissioning obligations, the Amendment is applied commencing from the earliest reporting period presented in the financial statements in which the Amendment is initially applied. The cumulative effect of the initial application of the Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.) 3. Amendment to IAS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies:
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" ("the Amendment"), which replaces the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. One of the main reasons for the Amendment is the absence of a definition of the term 'significant' in IFRS whereas the term 'material' is defined in several standards and particularly in IAS 1.
The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The above Amendment did not have an effect on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements. However, the Company is evaluating whether the Amendment will affect the disclosures of accounting policies in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3:- OPERATING SEGMENTS a. General:
The operating segments are identified based on information that is reviewed by the Company's management to make decisions about resources to be allocated and assess its performance. Accordingly, for management purposes, the Group is organized into two operating segments based on the two business units the Group has. The two business units are incorporated under two separate subsidiaries of the Company, the CPO production unit is incorporated under CS DekelOil Siva Ltd and its subsidiary and the RCN processing plant in commissioning stage is incorporated under Pearlside Holdings Ltd and its subsidiary.
Segment performance (segment income (loss)) and the segment assets and liabilities are derived from the financial statements of each separate group of entities as described above. Unallocated items are mainly the Group's headquarter costs .
