Earnings Release | 3Q23, 9M23 e LTM 3Q23

Message from the CEO

Before discussing quarter results, I would like to recall some events that agitate the sector in 2022 and our action plan to deal with this moment. I emphasize that this is not the first and will not be the last time that the sector faces a challenging scenario. Some volatility is inherent to a globalized business like ours, but with my experience of more than 40 years in this sector, I can say that the trajectory of agribusiness may have setbacks, but it is an upward trend.

At the beginning of 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began, culminating in intense volatility in prices and the threat of a shortage of fertilizers around the world and likewise with some crop chemicals as a legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the end of last year, we anticipated that the return to normal supply of these inputs and the excess storage of crop chemicals in the sector would lead to price drops. This downward trend influenced the behavior of the producer, who began to place orders that were much closer to their use throughout the year.

Coupled with this, commodity prices, mainly soybeans and corn, had significant drops during the year, leading producers to hold back on soybean sales, the most delayed in 4 years, and, consequently, delay payments to distributors.

We promptly put into practice a plan to deal with this scenario, which mainly involved: (i) balancing inventories with mismatched prices, carrying out product returns to the supplier and sales campaigns that led to a temporary reduction in margins in 1H23 and recovery in 3Q23; (ii) reduction in delinquency ratios, with grain recovery campaigns for the 2023 interim crop and 2023/24 harvest in partnership with suppliers to encourage barter and, thus, reduce the risks of not receiving installments. In November, we reduced delinquency to single digit, a significant improvement compared to June this year; (iii) focus on portfolio profitability, in other words, improve our margins. We managed to improve our gross margin in 3Q, reaching 18.2%, having increased from 15.1% in 1Q23 and 16.6% in 2Q23. This was the 3Q with the highest gross margin in the last 3 years and the highest of the year, proof that we are on the right path. The 3Q is usually the company's lowest margin quarter of the year, given that it is the quarter in which we make the most fertilizer sales.

We were also able to reduce our SG&A by 23% ex- depreciation and amortization; and (iv) focus on ramping up opened stores, which have been 58 stores since 2019 and which have already contributed with 23% of revenue in the first nine months of 2023.

Regarding 3Q23 results, I highlight the continued trust of producers in AgroGalaxy, proving our strength in challenging times: we reached almost 31 thousand active customers, growth of 31% compared to

September 2022 and in 3Q23 we received 44% more grains over 3Q22.

As a result of our research to make the best recommendation to producers, we continued to advance in specialty and bioinputs segments, which were a major highlight of our revenue for another quarter. We advanced 2.8 p.p. in the mix of specialties and 1.7 p.p. in bioinputs (vs. 3Q22) despite the challenging scenario I described. This increase was only possible due to testing of our CTAs, campaigns focused on the field and education and training of the sales force. We are the number one retail platform for bioinput sales in Brazil.

In 3Q23, total net revenue reached R$2.4 billion, a decrease of 23%. Input revenue fell by 42%, totaling R$ 1.3 billion, as a result of a 44% drop in prices and a 3% increase in volume. Organic same store sales reached -45%in the period. I highlight that the end of September, which is crucial for summer harvest revenue, mainly in seeds and crop chemicals, was negatively impacted by an atypical high temperature for the season, reaching more than 40ºC in some regions.

Still in 3Q23, Adjusted Gross Profit was R$255 million, a drop of 36% with a margin of 10.8%. In SG&A we achieved important progress, with a 23% reduction ex-D&A and maintaining the percentage of net revenue vs 3Q22. Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$74.4 million, with a margin of 3.1%. The Net Result totaled -R$ 89 million and the financial result continued to be affected by the Selic rate at high levels. From the aspect of capital structure, we managed to close the quarter with a relevant cash and cash equivalent position, and investments of R$0.9 billion, flat compared to September 2022. A major highlight on this front occurred after the closing of the quarter. In November we negotiated the extension of part of our short-termmaturities, totaling R$839 million, with settlement within 3 years. This is an important step towards adapting our capital structure to the challenging times for the sector.

The order portfolio totaled R$2 billion in September 2023, a reduction of 28% compared to the same period in 2022. Producers continue to place orders from hand to mouth due to the expectation of price drops in some segments, notably fertilizers and crop chemicals.

I can say that the worst is behind us, and we are happy to see our efforts to recover margins having an effect, with the combination of (i) elimination of stocks with mismatched prices; (ii) reduction of expenses; (iii) recovery of margins and (iv) ramp up of new stores reflected in our results. I reinforce our commitment to continue working hard to overcome this challenging moment and continue to consolidate ourselves as the best and most sustainable retailer of agricultural inputs and services aimed at Brazilian farmers, establishing partnerships, and offering unique solutions.

Seasonality (Input)

The agribusiness industry is subject to significant seasonality over the year, especially given the crop cycles that depend on specific climate conditions. Brazil has unique climate conditions compared to other countries producing agricultural commodities, contributing to the plantation of two to three crops in the same area per year. The seasonality of the orders and the Company's input billings are shown below:

Thus, considering that the activities of the Company's customers are directly related to the cycles of the crops, which are subject to seasonality issues, revenues from input are also subject to significant seasonality.

The seasonality of the crops also implies the seasonality of the gross profit, calculated at different basis for the fiscal year, which may cause a significant seasonal effect on the operating results calculated during the separate quarters of the fiscal year, as shown above.

Adjustments to the results

The Adjusted EBITDA is impacted by the cash generated from payments made for the real estate leasing (stores) during the period and disregards: (i) MTM commodities: gains or losses from the variation of the fair value of the commodities, as the fair value on the closing of each fiscal year does not impact the cash and does not reflect the results from purchase and sale; (ii) exchange variation of hedge operations carried out to protect revenue or cost of products; (iii) non-recurring items (e.g., extemporaneous credits, strategic consultancy and expenses with staff restructuring); and (iv) commercial and financial results: interest expense, interest-earning assets and discounts granted and obtained.

Besides items (i), (ii) and (iii), mentioned above, the adjusted net profit also excludes the following from the calculation:

  1. amortization of capital gains from business combinations; (vi) unsettled exchange variation (accrual and MTM); (vii) the effects from CPC 06/IFRS 16 and others; and (viii) the impact from deferred IR/CS (Income Tax/Social Contribution).

Net revenue for the period fell by 23%, reaching R$2.4 billion. Input segment posted a drop of 42% and grains grew by 26% vs. 3Q22. The decrease in input revenue (-44% price and +3% volume) was primarily due to: (i) reductions in the prices of crop chemicals (-74%) and fertilizers (-44%); and (ii) delay in soybean planting, postponing part of the revenue from September to October.

Both fertilizers and crop chemicals had price spikes in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Covid-19 pandemic, respectively.

In terms of volumes, the 13% growth in both crop chemicals and fertilizers stands out, even in a scenario of delayed planting. On the other hand, there was a 17% drop in the volume of seeds impacted by the delay in planting the summer crop given the high temperatures recorded in September, with more than 40ºC in some regions of Brazil, hindering the start of planting of the 23/24 summer crop.

Same store sales for the period were -45% given the effects described.

The increase in grain revenue was mainly due to the greater volume of soybeans received from the 22/23 harvest, resulting in greater revenue anticipation.

Inputs Mix

Specialties segment had the highest share gain in the input mix in 3Q23, reaching 8.2% of the mix (+2.8 p.p.), due to the better product mix within the segment, in addition to the reductions observed in fertilizers and crop chemicals, as described in the revenue section.

Bioinputs, which include biological products, totaled R$65 million in 3Q23, or 5.0% of input revenue, an increase of 1.7 p.p. vs. 3Q22. In the year to date, bioinputs totaled R$172 million, an increase of 31.7% vs. 9M22. This relevant increase reflects the Company's actions, such as: (i) testing of protocols in CTAs; (ii) carrying out a biological campaign, and (iii) support from the TechA team and technical rounds with the CTA team in educating the sales force on bioinputs with data from tests carried out at the CTAs that prove the greater productivity of cultures with their usage.

Profit Margin

Adjusted gross profit reached R$255 million in 3Q23 vs. R$399 million in 3Q22, with a margin of 10.8% (-2.2 p.p.). The reduction in adjusted gross profit reflects the decrease in revenue and the greater share of grains in the revenue mix, 27% in 3Q22 to 45% in 3Q23, due to the drop in input revenue explained in the revenue section.

  • Adjusted gross profit: disregards gains or losses from changes in the fair value of commodities and considers gain losses from exchange rate variations adjusted in EBITDA for margin calculation purposes.

Adjusted gross profit from input reached R$237 million in 3Q23, 39% drop, with a margin of 18.2%, (+0.7 p.p.), the highest margin for 3Q in the last 3 years. The variation was due to the reduction in revenue described in the revenue section. There was an increase in the margin, as a result of efforts made to increase profitability and improve the mix, in addition to adapting stocks to healthy conditions and prices practiced by the market, offsetting the drop in fertilizers and crop chemicals prices. It is important to highlight that 3Q has the lowest margin within the year, given that it is the period with the highest fertilizer sales. However, due to the Company's inventory normalization scenario and commercial strategy focused on recovering margins, 3Q23 posted the highest margin of the year (15.1% in 1Q23, 16.6% in 2Q23 and 18.2% in 3Q23).
