| | | | •Gross sales were down 2.3% and 0.5% year-over-year during 2Q24 and 6M24, respectively. Higher volumes sold given the year-over-year increase in production were fully offset by lower prices of our main commodities. •Adjusted EBITDA was up 2.7% and 2.0% year-over-year during 2Q24 and 6M24. This was explained by an outperformance of our Crops segment on the sale of La Pecuaria farm, and better results of our Dairy operations. •Year-to-date we have already committed to distribution $16.1 million more than the annual minimum figure required by our policy ($86.4 million vs $70.3 million - via dividend and share repurchase). During the rest of the year we expect to continue returning cash to shareholders.

Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business
Performance Highlights
◦Adjusted EBITDA in the SE&E business reached $106.9 million and $158.7 million during 2Q24 and 6M24, 8.5% and 18.0% lower year-over-year respectively.
▪(+) Higher year-over-year crushing during 2Q24 and 6M24 (4.0 million tons and 6.1 million tons, respectively) on greater sugarcane availability and higher effective milling days.
▪(+) Sugar max scenario (49% production mix) as prices traded above hydrous ethanol in MS. Ethanol carry-over (84% of year-to-date production) to profit from higher expected prices.
▪(+) Low cost producers: unitary cost of production in line versus prior year on better cost dilution.
▪(-) Decline in net sales on lower prices compared to the prior year.
▪(-) Year-over-year loss in biological asset due to lower expected yields versus 2023, on lower-than-average rains.
Outlook
◦(+) Expectation to increase crushing YoY assuming weather going normal, given good harvest pace and cane availability.
◦(+) 69% of sugar hedged at an average price of 23.1 cts/lb. Expected upside in prices versus spot level.
◦(+) Ethanol price recovery and expectation to continue increasing to restore technical parity at the pump (70%) given strong demand and lower expected production.
Farming business
Performance Highlights
◦Adjusted EBITDA for the Farming business amounted to $37.8 million during 2Q24 and $81.8 million during 6M24, 55.2% and 90.8% higher year-over-year, respectively.
▪(+) Farm sale conducted in April 2024 (La Pecuaria farm in Uruguay), which generated an Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million, reflected in our Crops segment.
▪(+) Year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our biological asset and agricultural produce for our Crops (better yields and area) and Rice operations (better prices and area).
▪(+) Higher prices for Rice and Dairy's higher value-added products.
▪(-) Lower prices for soybean, corn and wheat.
▪(-) Higher costs in U.S. dollar terms.
Outlook
◦(-/+) Crops: Lower international prices for our main grains, coupled with higher costs in U.S. dollars terms will pressure margins during 2024. Planting activities for our winter crops are underway, good weather conditions led to higher planted area (2024/25 harvest season).
◦(+) Rice: Solid prices captured thanks to our commercial strategy and production flexibility. Working on our farms to initiate planting activities (2024/25 harvest season).
◦(+) Dairy: High productivity indicators; prices for our higher value-added products continue at attractive levels.
2024 Shareholder Distribution Update
◦As of the date of this report, we have already committed $86.4 million to distribution, equivalent to 49% of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations (NCFO) generated in 2023. This represents $16.1 million above the annual minimum stated in our distribution policy.
▪Cash dividends: $35.0 million approved. First installment of $17.5 million paid on May 29th (approximately $0.1682 per share); second installment of $17.5 million shall be payable in or about November 2024.
▪Share repurchase: $51.4 million invested year-to-date in repurchasing 4.9% of the company's equity (5.2 million shares at an average price of $9.98 per share).
◦Going forward we expect to continue returning cash to our shareholders via share repurchase. To execute this, in July 2024 the Company's Board of Directors approved the renewal of our existing buyback program until December 31, 2024 to repurchase up to an additional 5% of the company's equity - in addition to the 4.9% equity that we have already repurchased year-to-date, as noted above.

(1) Does not include 5,965 cubic meters of anhydrous ethanol that were converted by dehydrating our hydrous ethanol stocks during 6M24 (no dehydration during 2Q24). During 2Q23 and 6M23, we dehydrated 22,931 and 53,374 cubic meters of hydrous ethanol, respectively.
Crushing volume during 2Q24 amounted to 4.0 million tons, 10.4% higher than the same period of last year. This was explained by (i) greater sugarcane availability thanks to the expansion planting activities conducted in the last years; coupled with (ii) higher effective milling days. The latter was possible due to the dry weather experienced throughout the last months in Mato Grosso do Sul, which in turn, enabled us to accelerate our harvesting pace. In terms of productivity, both yields and TRS content remained in line versus the prior year at 77 tons per hectare and 127 kg/ton, respectively.
Year-to-date, total crushing volume reached 6.1 million tons, marking a 21.1% increase compared to last year on higher crushing during both 1Q and 2Q24, while TRS equivalent produced increased by 22.5% year-over-year.
During 2Q24, average sugar prices traded at a premium to both hydrous and anhydrous ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul (23% and 8%, respectively). Consequently, we maximized the production of sugar. Within our ethanol production, 84% was hydrous ethanol, compared to 30% in 2Q23, as demand for this type of fuel
significantly increased and gained market share in the Otto cycle. This high degree of flexibility constitutes one of our most important competitive advantages, since it allows us to make a more efficient use of our fixed assets and profit from higher relative prices. Moreover, we can dehydrate hydrous ethanol at any time and turn it into anhydrous ethanol, which can be sold either to the domestic or export market, wherever the price premium is better.
On a year-to-date basis, we maximized the production of sugar throughout the year given its attractive premium over ethanol, as was the case in 6M23. Nevertheless, total volume produced for both sugar and ethanol in 6M24 saw an increase (18.1% and 29.7% higher, respectively) driven by the increase in total TRS equivalent produced.
Exported energy during the quarter totaled 249 thousand MWh, 36.6% higher compared to 2Q23, whereas year-to-date it reached 321 thousand MWh, marking a 33.5% year-over-year increase. Higher energy exported in both periods was fully driven by the use of our stored bagasse to produce energy in order to comply with our long-term contracts. Consequently, our cogeneration efficiency ratio was up 23.8% and 10.3%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA during 2Q24 was $106.9 million, 8.5% lower than the same period of last year. Despite presenting a $15.6 million year-over-year gain in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position, lower EBITDA generation was mainly driven by (i) a $12.7 million year-over-year decrease in net sales; coupled with (ii) a $10.4 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological assets. As explained in prior releases, the biological assets line captures the present value of the sugarcane that is going to be harvested in the following 12 months (in addition to the one already harvested). In this case, the year-over-year decline is explained by lower expected productivity compared to the previous year given the
different weather scenarios. Furthermore, results were also affected by a $3.4 million year-over-year increase in selling expenses on higher PIS/COFINS due to higher volumes of ethanol sold, as well as to a higher tax burden since PIS/COFINS was below current levels during the same period of last year. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $158.7 million, presenting an 18.0% decrease versus last year explained by the same aforementioned drivers.
Net sales reached $171.7 million during 2Q24, marking a 6.9% decrease compared to the previous year due to lower prices in US dollars in all our products, partially offset by higher ethanol volumes. During the first semester, net sales amounted to $275.1 million, marking a 2.1% year-over-year decline mainly on lower selling prices of ethanol.
In the case of sugar, the lower revenues reported during 2Q24 were mainly explained by a decline in global sugar prices due to a stronger pace of milling in Brazil during 1H24, increasing the year-over-year sugar production. On an year-to-date basis, sugar sales were in line with the previous year on greater volume sold despite the slight decrease in selling prices.
Ethanol sales presented a 10.6% year-over-year increase on higher volume sold of hydrous ethanol (71 thousand cubic meters more than the prior year), which in turn fully offset the year-over-year decrease in selling prices. As explained in prior releases, the decline in prices was mainly driven by an overall increase in ethanol production on greater cane crushing in Brazil. Nevertheless, demand for this type of fuel has significantly increased throughout the last months, consequently absorbing all the new production and leading to a price recovery (+30% in Brazilian reais versus the lowest level seen in early 2024). In terms of volume, we strategically conducted our sales throughout the quarter in order to profit from peaks in prices, capturing a 10% quarter-over-quarter increase.
On a year-to-date basis, lower ethanol revenues were driven by the decline in selling prices due to the above mentioned drivers, despite presenting a 33.7% year-over-year increase in volumes sold given the strong demand. We continue to hold on to our ethanol inventories (84% of our year-to-date production) in order to capture higher expected prices.
Due to the efficiency and sustainability in our operations, ranked among the highest in the industry, we have the right to issue carbon credits (CBio) every time we sell ethanol. During the quarter, we sold $2.4 million worth of CBios, marking a 8.4% year-over-year increase. Year-to-date, we have already sold 241 thousand CBios, amounting to $4.0 million.
Net sales of energy presented a year-over-year reduction for both 2Q24 and 6M24. Despite the higher volume sold related to our long-term energy contracts, the decline in revenues is fully explained by (i) lower energy prices; as well as to (ii) a weaker Brazilian Real compared to the previous year.

(1)Total production cost may differ from our COGS figure as the former refers to the cost of our goods produced, whereas the latter refers to the cost of our goods sold.
In 2Q24, total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization totaled 7.5 cts/lb, in line versus the prior year. Although production costs in nominal terms experienced a 12.3% year-over-year increase due to (i) higher third party cane purchases, and (ii) higher harvest costs on higher harvested area, it was fully offset by the 10.4% year-over-year increase in volume. This is so, because the higher the milling, the better we are diluting fixed costs, especially agricultural costs which represent roughly 80% of our cost structure. The same trend was observed in our production cost structure for the first half of the year, which amounted to 7.9 cts/lb. As always, we continue to use concentrated vinasse and filter cake to replace 100% of our potash fertilizer requirements and 48% of total agricultural inputs needs, reducing our sourcing needs.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Farming business totaled $37.8 million in 2Q24, marking a 55.2% increase compared to the same period of last year. This was mostly explained by (i) the sale of La Pecuaria farm, which generated an Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million, coupled with (ii) higher results on our Dairy operations on higher prices of our higher value added products, especially in the domestic market. Results were partially offset by higher costs in U.S. dollar terms, lower prices of most of our crops and lower rice volumes sold.
Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA was $81.8 million, 90.8% higher than the previous year. Higher results were mainly driven by (i) the aforementioned farm sale, together with (ii) year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our biological assets for both our Crops and Rice operations. In the case of Rice, higher rice prices at the moment of harvest and higher planted area were the main growth drivers; whereas in Crops, the recovery in yields drove the increase in results. Lastly, higher EBITDA generation from our Dairy segment was explained by better prices captured.

The same applies to results derived from our minor cattle activities, which were previously reported under the "All Other" segment.
During 2Q24, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $15.5 million, reflecting the sale of La Pecuaria farm (Uruguay) which was completed in April 2024. As reported in our previous release, this farm was sold - and fully collected - at $20.7 million ($6,500/hectare) and generated an Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $20.3 million, compared to negative $1.5 million in 6M23. The growth in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly explained by the aforementioned farm sale as well as to greater yields in the 23/24 campaign compared to the prior harvest season which was severely affected by La Niña weather event.
Focusing solely on our Crops results, although we saw a significant year-over-year recovery in production (mainly soybean, wheat and peanut) due to normal weather conditions, results were negatively impacted by (i) lower international prices for our main products on higher global supply; (ii) higher costs in U.S. dollar terms; and (iii) lower-than-expected corn production due to the impact of spiroplasma.

Rice sales were down year-over-year during 2Q24 due to a reduction in volumes sold, while average price stood at $792/ton during the quarter, in line with 2Q23. Prices continued to be high compared to historical levels, but presented a reduction compared to 1Q24, as expected, mainly driven by new rice supply (23/24 harvest season) putting pressure on domestic prices. On a year-to-date basis, the reduction in sales was also affected by the aforementioned drivers, although during 1Q24 we were able to capture record prices given low rice availability in the market.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $11.2 million in 2Q24, marking a 19.9% year-over-year decrease due to a decline in sales and higher costs in U.S. dollar terms. Results were partially offset by a $11.6 million year-over-year gain in our biological asset and agricultural produce on higher rice prices and higher planted area. During the first semester, Adjusted EBITDA reached $44.0 million, marking a 56.6% increase versus the previous year, mostly explained by year-over-year gains reported in our biological assets line on higher prices.

(1) Includes sales of raw milk, processed dairy products, electricity and culled cows; (2) Includes sales of raw milk, fluid milk, powder milk and cheese, among others; (3) The difference between volume processed and volume sold is explained by the sale of raw milk to third parties.
In 2Q24, raw milk production was 48.9 million liters, 2.0% lower compared to the same period of last year. This was explained by a slight decline in productivity compared to 2Q23, although levels are still strong at 36.9 liters per cow per day. Year-to-date, total raw milk production amounted to 97.8 million liters, marking a 1.3% year-over-year increase compared to the previous year. This was mostly driven by a 0.8% increase in cow productivity to 37.1 liters per cow per day, as we continue enhancing efficiencies in our free-stalls, which are already at full capacity.
At the industry level, we processed 87.2 million liters of raw milk during the quarter, 6.5% higher than last year. Out of this volume, approximately 51% came from our dairy farm operations whereas the balance was sourced from local producers in nearby areas or supplied by partners to whom we provide tolling services. During the first semester, total processed milk amounted to 168.4 million liters of raw milk, marking a 6.0% year-over-year increase. We continue working on product development for the domestic and export market, offering higher value added products as well as commoditized products, and being present across different price tiers with our consumer product brands.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $11.1 million and $17.6 million in 2Q24 and 6M24, respectively, marking a 9.3% and 7.8% increase compared to the same period of last year. Results were positively impacted by (i) an increase in sales due to higher average selling prices, as we improved the mix of higher value added products; (ii) our continuous focus on achieving efficiencies in our vertically integrated operations and increasing our productivity levels in every stage of the value chain; and (iii) our flexibility to divert milk to the production of a variety of dairy products, as well as to shift sales across markets.
Adjusted EBIT was $8.1 million and $12.0 million during 2Q24 and 6M24, respectively. However, once interest expense and the foreign exchange loss related to the financial debt are considered, the year-to-date results decrease to negative $3.7 million.

Adecoagro’s corporate expenses include items that are not allocated to a specific business segment, such as the remuneration of executive officers and headquarters staff, certain professional services, office lease expenses, among others. Corporate expenses for 2Q24 were $4.7 million, 3.3% lower than the previous year, while year-to-date it amounted to $10.4 million, down 4.2% year-over-year. Despite experiencing an impact in costs from inflation in U.S. dollar terms, the year-over-year reduction is explained by our focus on reducing expenses and generate savings.

Net Income & Adjusted Net Income |
Net income amounted to $9.9 million and $57.2 million during 2Q24 and 6M24, respectively, marking a $36.3 million and $11.9 million year-over-year reduction.
Nevertheless, once we exclude the impact of foreign exchange variation, as well as inflation accounting effects (all non-cash impacts), Adjusted net income reached $105.5 million during the quarter, whereas on an accumulated basis it reached $128.8 million. Higher year-over-year results were mainly explained by tax gains recorded throughout 2024 ($57.4 million and $44.5 million in 2Q24 & 6M24, respectively) versus tax expenses booked during the previous year. These gains recorded within the income tax line are fully related to the effects of inflation in the income tax calculation in Argentina.

(1) It includes US T-Bills with maturity from the date of acquisition longer than 90 days for US$25,589 thousand, US$ 31,747 thousand of promissory notes and US$ 1,280 thousand of BOPREAL (Bonos para la Reconstrucción de una Argentina Libre). As of June 30, 2024, nil (US$ 59,475 thousand as of December 31, 2023) of these US T-bills are used as collateral for short-term borrowings and are not available for use by other entities of the Group.
As of June 30, 2024, Adecoagro's net debt position amounted to $631.7 million, marking a 25.9% year-over-year reduction. This was mainly explained by our financial decision to take debt in Argentine Peso during 2023 against dollarized assets, and benefit from the sharp depreciation of the currency that occurred by year-end (255% in 2Q24 LTM). Furthermore, the year-over-year increase in our net cash from operations, which includes the latest two farm sales (El Meridiano and La Pecuaria), enabled us to reduce our net debt position, as well as to invest in growth projects across all our operating segments; and distribute profits with shareholders via cash dividend and share repurchase.
Consequently, our Net Debt ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) as of 2Q24 was 1.3x, 0.6x lower than the previous year. Furthermore, our Liquidity ratio (Cash & Equivalents + Marketable Inventories / Short Term Debt), reached 2.9x, showing the Company's full capacity to repay short term debt with its cash balances.
We believe that our balance sheet is in a healthy position based not only on the adequate overall debt levels but also in terms of our indebtedness, most of which is long-term debt.

Adecoagro's capital expenditures amounted to $59.9 million in 2Q24, 3.7% higher compared to last year, while on an accumulated basis it reached $167.1 million, marking a 17.2% year-over-year increase.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 88% or $52.8 million of total capex during the quarter. The total year-over-year reduction in capex is mainly explained by (i) lower hectares of renewal planting versus the prior year; coupled with (ii) lower investments related to the expansion of our equipment (mostly small projects such as our biogas unit in Ivinhema). This, in turn, fully mitigated the increase in expansion planting activities and in the renewal of our fleet and industrial equipment. Year-to-date, capital expenditures amounted to $138.5 million for this business unit.
The Farming businesses accounted for 12%, or $7.1 million of total capex in 2Q24. The renewal of our agricultural equipment (seeders, harvesters and tractors) were the main drivers towards the year-over-year increase in maintenance capex. Regarding expansion capex, investments in this front were mostly related to minor industrial improvements within our two dairy processing facilities, and the acquisition of new harvesters for our Rice operations. On a year-to-date basis, total capex amounted to $28.6 million.

As of beginning of August 2024, we harvested 273,905 hectares, or 98.2% of total area, and produced 1,081,551 tons of aggregate grains. The remaining hectares are expected to be fully harvested during the rest of the month. As anticipated, most of our crops presented a significant year-over-year increase in productivity given the normal weather conditions experienced, as opposed to last year which was affected by La Niña weather event.
Soybean 1st crop: As of the end of July, we concluded the harvest of our soybean production, reaching an average yield of 2.8 Tn/Ha. Precipitations received throughout the year favored crop development, consequently leading to volume recovery compared to the prior campaign. Some regions received rainfalls during the harvest window, leading to a slight impact on yields and lower quality. However, due to our geographic diversification, average yields stood at historical levels.
Corn: As of the date of this report, we are still undergoing harvesting activities for our late corn, whereas early corn harvest has been completed. In the case of the latter, yields were in line with historical as the crop received good precipitations throughout its yield definition stage, consequently recovering the volume lost in the prior year. On the other hand, our late corn production was negatively impacted by spiroplasma, mainly in the Northern region of the country, consequently affecting the total crop yield
versus our initial expectations. In this regard, our teams are being trained on how to treat this type of bacteria during the upcoming campaigns. Moreover, we are planning on reducing corn area during the 2024/25 season to lower our exposure and switch to other more suitable crops.
Peanut: Harvesting activities are still on its way for our peanut production, with less than 10% of our area left to be harvested. So far, we have reached a yield of 3.7 Tn/ha, doubling the productivity of the previous year. This increase was mainly driven by (i) good amount of rainfalls received throughout summertime; coupled with (ii) fine-tuning on where to plant our peanut, taking into consideration the different types of soil and weather dynamics.
Winter Crops: We are undergoing planting activities related to the 2024/25 season for our winter crops (mainly wheat), with a total planting size expectation of over 40,000 hectares. Due to normal weather conditions experienced during the first half of 2024, the soil recovered its moisture, enabling us to conduct our planting activities within the optimal window. What is more, planting activities spread to the Northern region, an area which wasn't included in prior harvest seasons given the low soil moisture levels presented. Weather evolution throughout the second semester will be key for yield definition.
Rice: We concluded harvesting activities for our rice by mid 2Q24, reaching an average yield of 6.1 Tn/ha. The year-over-year decline in productivity was mostly explained by (i) low water levels in the reservoirs and low soil moisture during the beginning of planting activities given the dry weather experienced; together with (ii) excessive rainfalls received by the end of the planting window, leading to a portion of our rice hectares being planted outside the optimal period. Furthermore, during summertime we received excessive rainfalls in the regions where our rice farms are located, negatively impacting yield potential.

◦Sugar prices ranged between 22.7 cts/lb and 18.1 cts/lb during 2Q24. The main drivers towards the decline in prices were (i) funds selling their position on the commodity; coupled with (ii) good precipitations received during April in Brazil (even though dry conditions returned by the end of 2Q24). Furthermore, higher-than-expected production from other key producing countries from the Northern Hemisphere improved the global supply expectations.
◦Ethanol prices presented another significant rally during 2Q24, mainly supported by strong demand and concerns over a potential crop failure coming from Brazil's Center-South. According to ESALQ index, both hydrous and anhydrous ethanol prices decreased on average 12% and 14%, respectively, compared to 2Q23. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, prices for hydrous and anhydrous ethanol were up 13% and 16%, respectively. Additionally, UNICA (Brazil's sugarcane association) reported that hydrous sales achieved impressive results during the quarter, marking a 47% year-over-year increase.
◦Brazil's carbon credit market under the RenovaBio program presented a 21% year-over-year decrease in 2Q24, reaching an average price of 90 BRL/CBio (approximately 17 USD/CBio).
◦In 2Q24, energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil were 9% lower than 2Q23, but 10% higher compared to 1Q24. Despite the low prices seen during the first semester, there was an increase at the end of June due to lower reservoirs levels (68% versus 71% in May), coupled with the potential scenario of drier weather ("La Niña"). Market agents believe that the event will impact the rain frequency, but the intensity is still unknown. Therefore, energy price forecast is unclear but has a bullish perspective.
◦During 2Q24, soybean traded 5% lower at CBOT compared to 1Q24, while corn traded 12% lower. The decrease was driven by (i) good weather conditions in the USA, higher production and consequently higher expected stocks; (ii) solid harvests in Argentina and Brazil; together with (iii) no major changes in global demand. Moreover, macroeconomic indicators in the USA (inflation, FX and interest rates), put some pressure in the commodities market in Chicago. Thus, funds increased their short position on wheat, corn and all soybean complex during 2Q24, reaching record levels. On the local market, prices traded 5% lower for soybean and 4% lower for corn compared to 1Q24. Despite a larger price reduction at CBOT, local prices for corn were more resilient due to (i) lower-than-expected quality (mainly in the Northern region), and (ii) government interventions in the market ("agri dollar" scheme).
◦During 2Q24, global rice market remained firm, with Asian origins continuing to benefit from an increase in demand due to India's export ban on long grain white rice. In the South American region, despite the arrival of the new crop into the market, prices remained at high levels due to lower-than-historical carry-over and delays in harvesting activities caused by rains. Furthermore, floods in Río Grande do Sul helped to sustain prices in Brazil. In the case of Argentina, local market was also impacted by the lower stocks and harvest delays, thus prices continued strong (even higher than in the region), but below 1Q24 in anticipation of a potential supply and demand balance by mid 2024.
◦During 2Q24, prices of raw milk reached the highest level in the last 3 years (excluding the price of November 2023 which was prior to the sharp devaluation of the Argentine peso). The main drivers behind the increase in prices were (i) the decline in milk production, down 14% year-over-year, explained by the dry weather experienced during 2023; and (ii) less milking cows. In the case of powder milk, lower demand coming from China (15% lower imports compared to 2023) caused pressure on global prices. Cheese prices remain in line with historical levels.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures |
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures in this press release:
•Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted EBIT
•Adjusted EBITDA margin
•Net Debt
•Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted Net Income
In this section, we provide an explanation and a reconciliation of each of our non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We believe these non-IFRS financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision making.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our IFRS financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, such as depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value, the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions and exchange differences generated by the net liability monetary position in USD in the countries where the functional currency is the local currency, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITDA for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results and bargain purchase gain on acquisition (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land foreign, exchange gains or losses, other net financial results and bargain purchase gain on acquisition (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are important measures of operating performance for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, respectively, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), bargain purchase gain, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also evaluate and compare the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted
Segment EBITDA differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our company’s operating performance, and of each of our operating segments, respectively. We also believe Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are useful for securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate and compare the financial performance of our company and other companies in the agricultural industry. These non-IFRS measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in either our statements of income or segment information.
Our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITs for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBIT” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land foreign, exchange gains or losses, other net financial results and bargain purchase gain on acquisition (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are important measures of operating performance, for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, from period to period by including the impact of depreciable fixed assets and removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), tax consequences (income taxes), foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland and also the sale of farmlands, investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT should only be used as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our company, and of each of our operating segments, respectively.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT starts on page 26.
Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of non-current and current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (namely US-Treasury Bills use as collateral of short-term borrowings). This measure is widely used by management. Management is consistently tracking our leverage position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA.
We believe that the ratio net debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to capital markets and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Net Income as (i) profit / (loss) of the period/year before net gain / (losses) from fair value adjustments of investment property land and bargain purchase gain on acquisition; plus (ii) any non-cash finance costs resulting from foreign exchange gain/losses for such period, which are composed by both exchange differences and cash flow hedge transfer from equity, included in Financial Results, net, in our statement of income; net of the related income tax effects, plus (iii) gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, which are reflected in our shareholders’ equity under the line item “Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” if any, plus (iv) the reversal of the aforementioned income tax effect, plus (v) inflation accounting effect; plus (vi) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings, if any.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of performance for our company allowing investors to properly assess the impact of the results of our operations in our equity. In fact, results arising from the revaluation effect of our net monetary position held in foreign currency in the countries where our functional currency is the local currency do not affect the equity of the Company, when measured in foreign / reporting currency. Conversely, the tax effect resulting from the aforementioned revaluation effect does impact the equity of the Company, since it reduces/increases the income tax to be paid in each country. Accordingly we have added back the income tax effect to Adjusted Net Income.
In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also include the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently, and therefore our Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss). This non-IFRS measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our financial statements.

1. General information
Adecoagro S.A. (the “Company” or “Adecoagro”) is the Group’s ultimate parent company and is a société anonyme (stock corporation) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Adecoagro is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Group." The Group’s activities are carried out through two major lines of business, namely, Farming and Sugar, Ethanol and Energy. The Farming line of business is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the “Interim Financial Statements”).
Adecoagro is a public company listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as a foreign registered company under the ticker symbol of AGRO.
These Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 9, 2024.
2. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The Group is exposed to several risks arising from financial instruments including price risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. A thorough explanation of the Group’s risks and the Group’s approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks is included in the annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Group's exposure and risk management principles and processes since December 31, 2023. See Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements for more information.
However, the Group considers that the following tables below provide useful information to understand the Group’s interim results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. These disclosures do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
Argentina status:
The Argentine subsidiaries of the Group operate in an economic context in which main variables have a strong volatility as a consequence of political and economic uncertainties, both in national and international environments. Argentina’s inflation rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 79.8% and 50.7%, respectively. December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was 211.4%, 94.8% and 50.9%, respectively. The Group uses Argentina’s official exchange rate to account for transactions in Argentina, mainly affecting the farming business segment, which as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was 912 and 268, respectively, against the U.S. dollar.
On December 10, 2023, a new government took office with the aim to boost a deregulation of the Argentine economy and other regulations. Certain regulations and/or restrictions have been eased and others remain in force, although it is expected that they will be lifted gradually. However, the scope and timing of the measures, including but not limited to the existing foreign exchange regulations remains uncertain as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Argentine Central Bank under prior administration, had implemented certain measures that control and restrict the ability of companies and individuals to access the foreign exchange market known as MULC (for its acronym in Spanish) for certain transactions. However, the performance of blue-chip swap transactions known as “Contado con Liquidación” or CCL (for its acronym in Spanish) was an alternative lawful mechanism. The blue-chip swap transactions are capital markets transactions that could be implemented in different ways, both for the inflow and outflow of funds. The implicit exchange rate applicable to this type of transactions is higher with respect to the official foreign exchange rate.
The Company is permanently monitoring the evolution of the program to determine the possible impacts that these new measures could have on the Company’s business and financial position.

The Group’s analysis shown on the tables below is carried out based on the exposure of each functional currency subsidiary against the U.S. Dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a hypothetical 10% appreciation/(depreciation) of the U.S. Dollar against the Brazilian real respective functional currencies for the period ended June 30, 2024 or the Uruguayan peso, or a 25% appreciation/(depreciation) of the U.S. Dollar against the Argentine peso. A portion of this effect would have been recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company’s borrowings was used as cash flow hedge of the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future revenue in U.S. Dollars (see Hedge Accounting - Cash Flow Hedge below for details).

Hedge Accounting - Cash flow hedge
The Group formally documents and designates cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future revenue in U.S. Dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, as needed.
Generally, the principal amounts of long-term borrowings (non-derivative financial instruments) and notional values of foreign currency forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) are designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are exposed to foreign currency risks, mainly Brazilian Reais/ U.S. Dollar related to operations in Brazil and Argentine Peso/U.S. Dollar in Argentina related to operations in Argentina. As of June 2024 and 2023, approximately 10% of projected revenue within those countries qualify as highly probable forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes and are designated as hedged items
The Group prepares formal documentation to support hedge designation, including an explanation of how the designation of the hedging relationship is aligned with the Group’s Risk Management Policy, identification of the hedging

instrument, the hedged transactions, the nature of the risk being hedged and an analysis which demonstrates that the hedge is expected to be highly effective. The Group reassesses the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis comparing the foreign currency component of the carrying amount of the hedging instruments and of the highly probable future revenue.
Under cash flow hedge accounting, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments are not immediately recognized in profit or loss but are reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the periods when the future revenue occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting the strategy in the Group’s Risk Management Policy.
The Group expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2024 and 2025.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, a loss before income tax of US$ 531 was recognized in other comprehensive income (June 30, 2023: US$7,313) and US$ 26,550 (June 30, 2023: US$ 35,735) was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.

▪Other derivative financial instruments
Floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps
In December 2020 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Itaú BBA for an aggregate amount of US$ 400 million. According to the swap instrument, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema receives IPCA (Extended National Consumer Price Index) plus 4.24% per year and pays CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais) plus 1,85% per year. This swap expires semiannually until December 2026. The swap agreement resulted in a recognition of a loss of US$ 1.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.
▪Currency forward
During the six months period ended on June 30, 2024, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with some Brazilian banks, in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. Dollar, for an aggregate amount of US$ 5 million. These financial instruments resulted in the recognition of a gain amounting to US$ 0.09 million for the six months period ended June 30, 2024. The currency forward contracts are due in September 2024.
Also, during the six months period ended on June 30, 2024, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with some Argentine banks, in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. Dollar, for an aggregate amount of US$ 14 million. These financial instruments resulted in a non-significant loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2024. The currency forward contracts are due in December 2024.
Gain and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.

3. Segment information
We are engaged in agricultural, manufacturing and land transformation activities.
Our agricultural activities consist of (i) harvesting certain agricultural products, including crops, rough rice, and sugarcane, either for sale to third parties or for our own internal use as inputs in manufacturing processes, and (ii) producing fluid milk.
Our manufacturing activities consist of (i) selling manufactured products, including processed peanuts, sunflower rice, sugar, ethanol and energy, among others, (ii) producing UHT and UP milk, powder milk and semi-hard cheese, among others; and (iii) providing services, such as grain warehousing and conditioning and handling and drying services, among others.
Our land transformation activities relate to the acquisition of farmlands or businesses with underdeveloped or underutilized agricultural land and the implementation of production technology and agricultural best practices on these farmlands to enhance yields and increase their value for potential realization through sale.
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the ‘management approach’. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the Management Committee. IFRS 8 stipulates external segment reporting based on our internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker.
Effective for our year ended December 31, 2023, our CODM changed its internal reporting mainly to refine the way it views our farming business and its interaction with our overarching land transformation activities embedded within such farming business. Previously, our CODM reviewed the results of our land transformation strategy as a separate activity upon disposition of transformed farmlands and/or other rural properties, or the acquisition of an under-utilized land. As from the fourth quarter of 2023, our CODM started allocating any profit from disposition of a farmland or, a bargain purchase gain, as part of the farming activity where such farmland belongs. Our CODM believes that this allocation better aligns the activities which were conducted to achieve the full growth potential of the land through the years with its ultimate realization of incremental value. Therefore, any profit on the realization of land transformation activities is now included in the respective farming business operating segment to which the disposed/acquired land belongs.
Also, our CODM started allocating the results of our minor cattle activities – which were previously reported as part of “all other segments” since they did not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure – to the farmland where the cattle is assigned. We maintain cattle as a complementary activity to the farming activities rather than as a separate business itself. Cattle helps preserve the value and productive capacity of the farmlands, avoiding the growth of undesired weed.
These changes resulted in revisions to the financial information provided to our CODM on a recurring basis in their evaluation of our financial performance and the decision-making process. Our CODM believes these changes better reflect the performance of our reportable segments. Accordingly, we changed the segment reporting under IFRS 8 as further described below. Previously reported segment financial information was recast for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to reflect the new reportable segments’ structure.
Based on the foregoing, we operate in two major lines of business, namely, “Farming” and “Sugar, Ethanol and Energy”.
•The ‘Farming’ business is further comprised of three reportable segments:
•‘Crops’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning and handling and drying services to third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of our control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed

3. Segment information (continued)
considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
•‘Rice’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice.
•‘Dairy’ Segment which consists of the production and sale of raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
•‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment which consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and then marketed;
Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the Interim Financial Statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.
As further discussed in Note 32 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, we apply IAS 29 to our operations in Argentina. According to IAS 29, all Argentine Peso-denominated non-monetary items in the statement of financial position are adjusted by applying a general price index from the date they were initially recognized to the end of the reporting period. Likewise, all Argentine Peso-denominated items in the statement of income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, income statement items are adjusted by applying a general price index on a monthly basis from the dates they were initially recognized in the financial statements to the end of the reporting period. This process is called “re-measurement”. Once the re-measurement process is completed, all Argentine Peso denominated accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars, which is our reporting currency, applying the guidelines in IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”(“IAS 21”). IAS 21 requires that amounts be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This process is called “translation”. The re-measurement and translation processes are applied on a monthly basis until year-end. Due to these processes, the re-measured and translated results of operations for a given month are subject to change until year-end, affecting comparison and analysis.
However, the internal reporting reviewed by our CODM departs from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 re-measurement and translation processes discussed above. For segment reporting purposes, the segment results of Argentine operations for each reporting period were adjusted for inflation and translated into the reporting currency using the reporting period average exchange rate. The translated amounts were not subsequently re-measured and translated in accordance with the IAS 29 and IAS 21 guidelines. In order to evaluate the segment’s performance, results of operations in Argentina are based on monthly data adjusted for inflation and converted into the monthly US dollar average exchange rate. These converted amounts are not subsequently readjusted and reconverted as described under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that we use to translate results of operations from our subsidiaries from countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole. Our CODM believes that the exclusion of the re-measurement and translation processes from the segment reporting structure allows for a more useful presentation and facilitates period-to-period comparison and performance analysis.
The primary operating performance measure for all of our segments is “Profit or Loss from Operations” which we measure in accordance with the procedure outlined above.
The following tables show a reconciliation of the reportable segments information reviewed by our CODM with the reportable segment information measured in accordance with IAS 29 and IAS 21 as per the Interim Financial Statements for the periods presented. These tables do not include information for the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy reportable segment since this information is not affected by the application of IAS 29 and therefore there is no difference between the information reviewed by our CODM and the information included in the Interim Financial Statements:

11. Property, plant and equipment, net (continued)
The Group determined the valuation of farmlands (US$ 683 million as of June 30, 2024) using, a “Sales Comparison Approach” prepared by an independent expert. Under the Sales Comparison Approach, the Group uses sale prices of comparable properties further adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the sales price as of June 30, 2024 would have reduced the value of the farmlands by US$ 68.3 million, which would impact, net of its tax effect, the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
Depreciation charges are included in “Cost of production of Biological Assets”, “Cost of production of manufactured products”, “General and administrative expenses”, “Selling expenses”, as appropriate, and/or capitalized in “Property, plant and equipment” for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, borrowing costs of US$ 2,384 (June 30, 2023: US$ 1,600) were capitalized as components of the cost of acquisition or construction of qualifying assets.
Certain of the Group’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Group’s borrowings and other payables. The net book value of the pledged assets amounts to US$ 217,831 as of June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2023: U$S 349,231).

The Group determined the valuation of investment properties using a “Sales Comparison Approach” prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The increase /decrease in the fair value is recognized in the Statement of income under the line item “Other operating income, net”. There were no changes to the valuation techniques for any of the periods presented. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price as of June 30, 2024 would have reduced the value of the Investment properties on US$ 3.3 million, which would impact the line item “Net loss from fair value adjustment.”

(ii)Biological assets that are measured at fair value within level 2 of the hierarchy
For those biological assets measured at fair value within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Group uses valuation techniques based on unobservable inputs. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data
The discounted cash flow valuation technique and the significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of these biological assets are consistent with those described in Note 16 to of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

“La Niña” weather event in 2023
“La Niña” is a weather phenomenon caused by the fluctuation of the ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific due to changes in the atmosphere, which affects the climate of several regions worldwide. When the temperature of the ocean decreases by 0.5°C below the five-quarter average, a so called “La Niña” weather pattern begins. This whether phenomenon is characterized by below average precipitations during spring and summertime in South America. We have experienced this weather pattern in Argentina and Uruguay, where most of our Farming operations are based, throughout the last three consecutive years and it has extended its effects during 2023, resulting in a severe drought in almost all productive regions in Argentina and Uruguay. Our diversification in terms of geographic footprint and crops planted (soybean, peanut, corn, wheat, sunflower, among others), acts as a natural hedge against weather risk, and enables us to adopt defensive strategies such as delaying planting activities and switching between crops which are either more resilient to dry weather or have a later development stage. However, and despite our ability to partially mitigate this effect, during 2023, as a consequence of the La Niña weather event, yields of our different crops had a reduction ranging from 18% to 60%, depending on the crop, thus significantly affecting our results of operations for the year ended December 31,2023.
16. Financial instruments
As of June 30, 2024, the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.
For Level 1 instruments, valuation is based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. Level 1 financial instruments mainly consist of crop futures and options traded on the stock market. In the case of securities, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
Derivatives not traded on the stock market are categorized as Level 2 instruments and are valued using models based on observable market data. The Group uses inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market, other than quoted prices. If the derivative financial instrument has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. Level 2 financial instruments mainly consist of interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest-rate swaps.
For Level 3 instruments, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group does not have any Level 3 financial instruments for any of the periods presented.
There were no transfers between any levels during any of the periods presented.
The following tables present the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:

27. Provisions for other liabilities
The Group is subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries where it operates. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and it can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

29. Basis of preparation and presentation
The information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of June 30, 2024 and for the six-month and the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is unaudited and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2024, results of operations for the six-month and three months periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In preparing these accompanying interim financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), ‘Interim financial reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Seasonality of operations
The Group’s business activities are inherently seasonal. The Group generally harvest and sell its grains (corn, soybean, rice and sunflower) between February and August, with the exception of wheat, which is harvested from December to January. Peanut is harvested from April to May, and revenue are executed with higher intensity during the third quarter of the year. Cotton is a unique in that while it is typically harvested from June to August, it requires processing which takes about two to three months to complete. Revenue in our Dairy business segment tend to be more stable. However, milk production is generally higher during the fourth quarter, when the weather is more suitable for production.

currently operating under a “non-stop” or “continuous” harvest and without stopping during traditional off-season, the rest of the sector in Brazil is still primarily operating with large off-season periods from December/January to March/April. The result of large off-season periods is fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol revenue and in our inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season period (i.e., January through April). As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.
