In 2022 Rusagro's consolidated sales before intersegment eliminations

reached 258,578 million roubles. In

comparison to 2021 sales increased by 6% (+ 15,472 million roubles). Positive results were attributable to the revenue growth in all business segments, excluding Agriculture business, which faced with significant sales price reduction and sales volume transfer to the first half of 2023 due to the expectations of stronger market, as well as harvest delays on the back of adverse climate conditions.

In 2022 Rusagro produced 336 thousand tonnes of pork in live weight for slaughtering, which is 9% (+27 thousand tonnes) more than in 2021. Output growth was attributed to the launch of pork production in Primorsky Krai, which was gradually reaching its full capacity.

In 2022 Rusagro produced 770 thousand tonnes of sugar, which is 3% (-21thousand tonnes) less than in 2021. Drop in volumes was the result of the prolongation of the season of sugar beet harvest and sugar production, which was partially compensated by higher sugar production at desugarization facilities on the back of higher load and increased production efficiency.

In 2022 in comparison to 2021 Rusagro's sales volume of sugar jumped by 11% (+81 thousand tonnes) - to up to 850 thousand tonnes. Positive change was attributable to higher carry over stocks from 2021 and higher pace of sugar sales in 2022. Sugar beet gross yield in the season- 2021/2022 grew in comparison to the season-2020/2021 due to increased yields per hectare.

In 2022 Rusagro produced 640 thousand tonnes of crude vegetable oil, which is 4% (-30thousand tonnes) less than in 2021. Negative change is attributed to the late start of the season and increased moisture of the seeds coupled by lower oil content.

Surge of wheat sales by 6% (+49 thousand tonnes) was achieved thanks to the trading operations, launched in 2022, which though was partially compensated by transfer of sales to 2023 in expectations of better market conditions. Corn sales rose by 127% (+91 thousand tonnes) due to higher carry over stocks. This positive change was also influenced by wheat's yields surge by 20% on the back of the higher yields per hectare (+21%).

Sales volume of industrial oil & fat and dairy products in 2022 reached 1,283 thousand tonnes, which is 3% (-42thousand tonnes) less than in 2021. This change was attributed to the lower crude oil production output in 2022, interruptions in supply chains and limitations imposed by the government of Indonesia in the middle of the year. These negative factors were compensated by higher sales margin of industrial fats. Meanwhile, due to the sales of stocks from 2021 Rusagro increased its sales of meal (+3%, or +19 thousand tonnes).

In 2022 harvest of sugar beet increased by 8% thanks to yield per hectare growth of 8%. However, as the result of adverse climate conditions, which led to the delays in harvesting and harvest delivery from the fields, its sales were transferred to the beginning of 2023. Hence, in 2020 sales volumes of sugar beet were reduced by 10% (-342thousand tonnes) - to up to

Due to interruptions in palm oil supply to Russia, industrial fats sales reduced by 13% (-12thousand tonnes), which though was compensated by its higher sales margin. Decrease in meal sales volume by 6% (-8thousand tonnes) resulted from the sales transfer to the next year in the attempt to increase sales margin. Meanwhile, sales of vegetable oil jumped by 19% (+13 thousand tonnes) due to the sales volume transfer from 3Q to 4Q.
