Message

from Management

Minerva Foods delivered solid operating and financial results in the first six months of 2023, in line with its business strategy and consolidating its position as one of the main players in the beef market. We ended 2Q23 with a gross revenue of R$ 7.8 billion, an EBITDA of R$ 711.2 million, and a net income of R$120.7 million. I would also like to highlight our free cash flow, which reached R$ 191.3 million in the period. Our performance in the last 12 months continues very solid, with Adjusted EBITDA reaching R$ 2.8 billion and net income amounting to R$ 350.5 million. Our capital structure also remains very solid, with net leverage stable at 2.7x our Net Debt / LTM EBITDA, even considering the acquisition of ALC (Australia Lamb Company) at the end of 2022.

One of the main priorities of our Management is the generation of shareholder value, which continued as one of our highlights in 2Q23. As previously announced, we paid complementary dividends of R$ 208.6 million, thus totaling R$ 336.7 million or R$ 0.58/share in dividend distribution for the 2022 fiscal year. In 2Q23, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of early dividends, in the amount of R$ 114.0 million or R$ 0.19/share, to be paid at the end of August. It is worth mentioning that, over the last three years (2020, 2021 and 2022), and considering the recently approved dividend payment, Minerva Foods has distributed approximately R$ 1.4 billion, equivalent to R$ 2.49/share, in proceeds to its shareholders.

During the quarter, even amidst the persisting volatile scenario in global markets, our geographical diversification strategy continues as one of the essential pillars that maintains our profitability, acting as an important risk mitigating agent and reflecting our ability to arbitrate in the global animal protein market, always focusing on profitability and on controlling risks. I would also like to highlight the export DNA of Minerva Foods, with 63% of our gross revenue originating from exports, demonstrating the solidity and attractiveness of the international animal protein market, even with the current volatility. The scenario for the international beef market remains very promising: the imbalance between global beef supply and demand is still one of the great vectors of our industry and is expected to become even more accentuated given the strong restrictions for the North American production in the coming years. On the other hand, South American producers, in particular Brazil, continue to benefit from the resumption of the bovine cycle in a large part of the continent, a trend that is expected to last another 2-3 years and expands the supply of animals in the region. From a demand perspective, we remain confident about a gradual rebound of the Chinese market, an economic upturn, a gradual reduction in inventories, and the seasonality of the second half of the year, which is expected to encourage a more aggressive recovery in coming quarters. We must also mention the frequent sanitary challenges in the animal protein market, such as the outbreak of avian flu in several regions of the world, including South America, which should naturally impact the international market.

Therefore, South America, with its pasture-based cattle production matrix, strengthens its competitiveness even further in the global beef market, increasingly expanding its market share. Within this context, Minerva Foods' geographical diversification strategy offers the Company access to 100% of global beef demand, making this one of our key competitive advantages.

Back to the 2Q23 results, our free cash generation, which has always been one of the Company's priorities, reached R$ 191.3 million in the period, reflecting our efficient operational and financial management. Our balance sheet remains very healthy, ending the quarter with a flat net leverage of 2.7x Net Debt/EBITDA LTM, even after the acquisition of ALC (Australia Lamb Company), at the end of 2022, and the recent dividend payments.

We continue to advance in our ESG agenda, allocating resources and efforts into achieving targets related to Minerva Food's Commitment to Sustainability. We achieved important results in Colombia, where we already reached the mark of having 100% of our direct supplier farms monitored prior to the deadline established in our
