Key Highlights
Palm Oil Operation
-- Record EBITDA and record Net Profit after Tax delivered from the Ayenouan palm oil plant in Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Palm Oil Operation') primarily driven by record Crude Palm Oil ('CPO') and Palm Kernel Oil ('PKO') pricing and an improved extraction rate, offsetting much lower than typical high season production volumes:
o H1 2022 revenue of EUR19.7m, a 9.2% decrease from EUR21.7m in H1 2021 - includes sales of CPO, Palm Kernel Oil ('PKO'), Palm Kernel Cake ('PKC') and Nursery Plants
o H1 2022 gross margin of 25.4% compared to 22.6% in H1 2021
o Record H1 EBITDA of EUR4.2m, an increase of 7.7% from EUR3.9m in H1 2021
o Record H1 net profit after tax of EUR2.5m, a 25.0% rise from EUR2.0m in H1 2021
Cashew Operation
-- The Company's cashew processing plant at Tiebissou in Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Cashew Operation') recorded a net loss of EUR0.2m, a period in which operations are in the late stages of completing full commissioning. The Company will provide further updates in respect of the commissioning process as appropriate.
*Cashew pilot production commenced in early January 2022 with full commissioning to be completed in early Q4 2022

Operational Highlights - Palm Oil Operation
-- CPO Production: 36.3% decrease in CPO production to 16,893 tonnes in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021
o The typical high season, which normally takes place from February to May, was at historically low levels
o CPO extraction rate in H1 2022 increased to 22.4% (H1 2021: 21.4%), partially offsetting 39% lower Fresh Fruit Bunch ('FFB') quantities compared to H1 2021
-- CPO Sales: 31.4% fall in CPO sales to 16,996 tonnes in H1 2022 (H1 2021: 24,784 tonnes) largely due to the lower CPO production
-- CPO Prices: 24.0% increase in average realised CPO prices to a record level of EUR1,013 per tonne in H1 2022 compared to H1 2021
o International CPO prices have steadied but continue to trade at multi-year highs of above EUR1,000 per tonne
-- PKO Production: H1 2022 PKO production 25.2% lower than H1 2021 due to lower FFB volumes
-- PKO Prices: 83.6% higher average realised PKO prices in H1 2022 (EUR1,454) than H1 2021 (EUR792), which is a record half-year average price achieved
Operational Highlights - Cashew Operation
-- The Cashew Operation commenced pilot production in early 2022
-- Delays in final key equipment items have stalled the ramp-up of production; however, with all key equipment now on site, we expect to see a material increase in operating capacity shortly and the Company will provide further updates as appropriate
Lincoln Moore, Dekel 's Executive Director , said: "To deliver record EBITDA from the Palm Oil Operation despite the unprecedented low high season production period was an excellent outcome. With CPO prices continuing to trade at long term highs, the Company is well positioned to grow sales in H1 2023 should production volumes return to historical levels.
"The Cashew Operation is now closing in on the completion of full commissioning and is well placed to become a significant contributor to the Group in 2023. With reasons to be optimistic about the performance of both the Palm Oil Operation and the Cashew Operation, we are excited about the potential to grow the Company's sales and financial performance in the future."

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 commenced production in early January 2022.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
H1 2022 saw CPO prices reach record highs which greatly assisted the H1 2022 financial outcomes during an unusually low high season production period. In addition, strong mill operational performance which saw a material improvement in CPO extraction rates and well controlled overhead costs, despite global inflation, contributed to the solid platform to enable the Palm Oil Operation to deliver a record net profit after tax.
The Cashew Operation took significant strides during H1 2022 to full production despite post Covid-19 supply chain disruptions impacting our supplier delivery timetables. With all key equipment now on site and the final commissioning phase well advanced, we believe we have passed the most challenging stage of delivering the Cashew Operation towards its full capacity and we are well placed to deliver our objective of processing 10,000tn of Raw Cashew Nuts ('RCN') in 2023.
Palm Oil Operation
January 2022 production volumes started reasonably well following on from a record production period in H2 2021. However, the typical high season which peaks from February through May did not eventuate as normal leading to, by far, the weakest production high season the Company has seen since the Palm Oil Operation commenced in 2014. This low production was experienced region-wide; however, there is expectation among local experts that the variation is short-term and we should see a rebound in volumes. As we head towards the back end of September, we are seeing some improvements in volumes but it is difficult to accurately predict short-term volume variations. What we can do is focus on things we can control and we are currently undertaking a full review of our milling operations to ensure we are ready when volumes increase, so that the Company can take advantage of a supportive pricing environment.
Record CPO and PKO prices were achieved in H1 2022 and prices currently remain close to all-time highs. Medium-term, we continue to be bullish on CPO prices and, should short-term prices remain in the EUR900-1,000tn range and volumes normalise to historical levels, the Directors believe the Palm Oil Operation performance can exceed the outcomes of H1 2021 and H1 2022.
Cashew Operation
The Cashew Operation has a stated objective to process 10,000tn of RCN in 2023. The Directors' view remains unchanged in that the Cashew Operation could in time potentially exceed the Palm Oil Operation in terms of profit contribution to the Group. The Cashew project is being developed in such a way that capacity can be increased significantly in short order. With 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 EUR40 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 the execution of the Cashew Operation which we believe will play a key role in enhancing the Group's financial outcomes in 2023.

---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Dekel achieved record H1 2022 EBITDA of EUR4.0m and net profit after tax of EUR2.3m. This was driven by record CPO and PKO prices and a 1 percentage point improvement in CPO extraction rates to 22.4%. This drove an improvement in the H1 2022 Gross Margin percentage to 25.4% (H1 2022: 22.6%). H1 2022 overheads were well controlled during a period of ongoing inflation, remaining flat at EUR1.7m (H1 2021: EUR1.7m).
H1 Operating Cashflow of EUR4.8m (H1 2021 EUR2.4m outflow) was reflective of the solid operating performance of the Palm Oil Operation. Given the Cashew Operation has not completed full commissioning, ongoing capital expenditure and the capitalisation of the commissioning costs resulted in a EUR2.6m outflow and a further EUR2.3m was utilised for loan repayments. The final drawdown of approximately EUR9.2m from the Company's existing approximately EUR15.2m seven-year bond facility has further strengthened Dekel's cash position and provided key working capital to support the ramp up of the Cashew Operation. Our consistently stated two to three year strategy remains unchanged in terms of "utilising the principal grace periods of the bond facility to ensure we are well funded internally while we build our cash base from the material uplift in operating cash flow expected as the Palm Oil Operation and Cashew Operation work in tandem. Dekel will then have optionality to either pay down debt or access lower cost financing to fund future growth plans and, at the appropriate time, look to recommence a dividend programme, thereby providing shareholders with a yield as well as capital growth."
Outlook
The Company has been able to deliver a record H1 2022 financial performance whilst weathering the challenges of unprecedented low volumes in the Palm Oil Operation and delays with ramp up in the capacity of the Cashew Operation. Whilst it will be challenging to replicate in the second half of the year the record Palm Oil Operation results achieved in H1 2022 based on current volumes, we have an excellent platform to deliver sustained profitability from the Palm Oil Operation in 2023 as well see the Cashew Operation transition to a consistent and long-term financial contributor to Group performance. The Directors remain optimistic about the next 6-12 months.
I would like to thank the Board, Management, our employees and advisers for their support and hard work over the course of the year.

d. Pearlside Holdings Ltd. ("Pearlside") a company incorporated in Cyprus, is a subsidiary of the Company since December 2020. Pearlside has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Cote d'Ivoire, Capro CI SA ("Capro"). Capro is currently constructing a Raw Cashew Nut (RCN) processing plant in Cote d'Ivoire near the village of Tiebissou.
e. DekelOil Consulting Ltd. a company located in Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of DekelOil Siva and is engaged in providing services to the Company and its subsidiaries.
f. The outbreak of Coronavirus, a virus causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections originating in China and spreading in various jurisdictions, had a significant effect on the global economic conditions and CPO prices but it had no significant effect on the Company's operations during H1 2022. The outbreak of Coronavirus may resume its negative affect on economic conditions regionally as well as globally, disrupt operations situated in countries particularly exposed to the contagion, affect the Company's customers and suppliers or business practices previously applied by those entities, or otherwise impact the Company's activities. Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public safety measures. Those measures, though apparently temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments in the virus' outbreak. The ultimate severity of the Coronavirus outbreak is uncertain at this time and therefore the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact it may have on its end markets and its future revenues, profitability, liquidity
and financial position.
g. Working capital deficiency.
The Group generated a record positive cash flow from operations of EUR4.8 million, representing a material increase in relation to the negative cash flow of (EUR2.4) million in H1 2021. This cash flow enabled the Group to continue its investments in the development of its RCN processing plant. As of 30 June 2022, the Group has a working capital deficiency of EUR3.3 million similar to the 31 December 2021 amount. Post 30 June 2022, the Group also completed a final drawdown from the bond facility which included a three year principal grace period which has further bolstered the Group cash position (see also Note 4). The Group has prepared detailed forecasted cash flows through the end of 2023, which indicate that the Group should have positive cash flows from its 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, Company 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, 2021, except as described below.
b. Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair value.
c. Initial adoption of amendments to existing financial reporting and accounting standards: 1. Amendment to IAS 16, "Property, Plant and Equipment":
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16, "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("the Amendment"). The Amendment prohibits a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") consideration received from the sales of items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, the company should recognize such consideration and related costs in profit or loss.
The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Amendment is to be applied retrospectively, but only to items of PP&E made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the company first applies the Amendment.
The cumulative effect of initially applying the Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial statements.
NOTE 3:- OPERATING SEGMENTS a. General:
The operating segments are identified on the basis of 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 organised 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 under construction 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, finance expenses and taxes on income.
