Lavoro Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Results¹

Lavoro Limited

 (Nasdaq: LVRO, LVROW), the first U.S. listed pure-play agricultural inputs retailer in Latin America, today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024, which ended on June 30, 2024. Detailed financial statements provided on Form 6-K as filed with the SEC can be accessed on the Company’s investor relations website at https://ir.lavoroagro.com/disclosure-and-documents/sec-filings/.

Ruy Cunha, CEO of Lavoro, commented, “This past year was one of the most challenging periods for Brazilian agribusiness in the last decade, with the ag inputs retail market estimated to have declined by over 20%. Lavoro navigated these turbulent conditions, gaining market share by focusing on controllable factors and leveraging our scale and verticalized business model. Our Crop Care segment performed well considering the notably challenging conditions for specialty inputs in the Brazilian market.”

“The current market environment reflects a mix of contrasting factors. On the one hand, projections for farmer profitability for the crop year 2024/2025 indicate improvement over the previous year, incentivizing farmers to grow planted acres and to invest in inputs to maximize yields. Additionally, input prices are continuing to show signs of stabilization. On the other hand, reduced bank and government lending to farmers, due in part to the impact from last year’s drought on crop yields, is currently constraining short-term liquidity for farmers, and creating challenges for the broader ag inputs value chain, including Lavoro. Against this backdrop, enhancing gross margin improvement is a key priority for this year.”

FY4Q24 Financial Highlights5

• Consolidated revenue for Lavoro in 4Q24 increased by 2% year-over-year (y/y) to $271.1 million (+8% in BRL), compared to the prior year period, with positive contributions from Grains revenue associated with our barter operations, which grew +41% to $68.3 million (+48% in BRL). This was partially offset by a decline in Inputs revenue of -6% (-1% in BRL), which reached $202.8 million, reflecting Input revenue declines in Brazil Ag Retail and the effect of converting our results from Brazilian reais to U.S. dollars for ease of reference.

• Consolidated gross profit decreased by -4% to $45.2 million in 4Q24 (+2% in BRL). Gross margins contracted by -100 bps y/y to 16.7%, driven by an increased mix of Grains revenue, and the unfavorable impact of product mix in Crop Care, partially offset by an improvement in gross margins for Brazil Ag Retail and Latam Ag Retail.

• Gross profit as % of Inputs revenue improved 70 bps y/y to 22.3% in 4Q24, with improvements led primarily by Brazil Ag Retail, partially offset by product mix headwinds in our Crop Care segment.

• Net loss for 4Q24 was $77.3 million, compared to a net loss of $19.5 million in the prior year period. The $57.8 million year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily driven by income taxes headwinds ($35 million), and higher finance costs ($22 million). Adjusted Net Loss was $76.2 million, compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $15.2 million in the prior year quarter, with similar key drivers for the year-over-year change.

• Adjusted EBITDA was -$2.1 million in 4Q24 compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period, with the change reflecting a decline in gross profit and net other operating income.

FY4Q24 Segment Results

Please note for the FY2024 and FY4Q24 results, Lavoro management updated its methods of allocation of certain holding company expenses between operating segments and “Corporate”. These corporate expenses incurred by the holding company and not directly related to any operating segment were previously attributed to Brazil Ag Retail and Crop Care operating segments. They have now been reclassified under “Corporate” to better align with management’s assessment framework and reflect each business unit’s underlying performance. Supplementary financial information reflecting past results with this updated methodology is available on our investors relations website https://ir.lavoroagro.com.

Brazil Ag Retail

• Brazil Ag Retail segment revenue decreased by -2% (+3% in BRL) to $192.5 million in 4Q24, with growth in Grains revenue resulting from a higher mix of barter operations being offset by a decline in Inputs revenue and the impact of converting our results from BRL to USD.

• Inputs revenue declined -16% to $124.8 million (-12% in BRL), reflecting in part Lavoro’s decision to delay shipments to certain farmer clients with outstanding overdue receivables until repayment, as was discussed in the prior quarter earnings call.

• Gross profit grew +13% to $29.8 million (+19% in BRL), as gross margin expanded by 210 bps y/y to 15.5% in 4Q24, and Gross Margin (Inputs) increased by 610 bps to 23.8%. The margin improved was driven mainly by the increase in supplier rebates compared to prior year.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior year quarter, with higher operating expenses off.

Latam Ag Retail

• Latam Ag Retail segment saw a 5% increase in revenue to $65.2 million (+11% in BRL), with the positive effect of the appreciation of the Colombian peso compared to USD and BRL in the prior year quarter more than offsetting headwinds from El Nino related droughts on planting intentions of Colombian farmers.

• Segment gross profit was $10.4 million in 4Q24, an increase of +10% over the prior year period. Gross margins expanded by +70 bps to 15.9%, driven mainly by a favorable shift in product mix.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 million, compared to $3.3 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase in gross profit partially offset by an increase in allowance for expected credit losses.

Crop Care

• Crop Care revenue increased by 87% to $19.9 million in 4Q24 (+97% in BRL), led by the strong performance of Union Agro, our specialty fertilizer business, which grew revenue by 46% in the quarter, and of Perterra, our private label off-patent crop protection business, partially offset by lower sales of biopesticides.

• Segment gross profit declined -29% y/y to $5.8 million (-25% in BRL), while gross margins decreased to 28.9%, from 75.9% in the prior year quarter. The decline in gross margins reflects the adverse product category mix, as Perterra grew considerably as compared to prior year, while 4Q23 benefited from an unusually strong mix of biological sales due to the timing of shipments.

• Adjusted EBITDA was -$2.0 million in 4Q24, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in the prior year period, with the decrease driven by the decline in gross profit.

Full Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Outlook6

We expect Brazil's Ag inputs retail market to decline by roughly -10% in FY2025, with low-single digits volume growth offset by price declines stemming from base effects.

Lavoro’ FY2025 outlook is for consolidated revenue between R$8.60 billion and R$9.20 billion, and Inputs revenue between R$7.70 billion and R$8.30 billion. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow relative to FY2024.

On a USD basis, consolidated revenue is projected to range between $1.50 billion and $1.60 billion, consolidated Inputs revenue is expected to range from $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow relative to FY2024.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit/Loss and Adjusted Net Profit/Loss Margin. A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company's management to evaluate the Company's performance, and provide additional information about trends in our operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on our results, as well as the effects of certain items or events that vary widely among similar companies, and therefore may hamper comparability across periods, although these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS. Management believes that these measures enhance a reader's understanding of the operating and financial performance of the Company and facilitate a better comparison between fiscal periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit (loss), adjusted for net finance income (costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
