MANAGEMENT'S LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The 2023/24 crop year witnessed adverse weather conditions at the start of the cycle due to the El Niño phenomenon. During this period, the western region of Mato Grosso state was affected by below-average rainfall and high temperatures that hindered soybean development. The current soybean crop was fully harvested, with yield standing at 3,276 kg/ha, 17.0% lower than the budget and 1.1% higher than the national average (CONAB, April/2024).
The drought in the state of Mato Grosso, which affected soybean crop, did not have the same effect in other regions, demonstrating the resilience of the Company's portfolio due to its geographical diversification. The planting of second-crop cotton and corn has been completed, and these crops have good production potential and are expected to reach the budgeted yields.
Costs per hectare budgeted for the 2023/24 crop year registered an average decrease in Brazilian real of 10% compared to budgeted costs in the 2022/23 crop year, mainly reflecting the lower prices of our main inputs.
We advanced in our 23/24 hedge position. Considering the commitments, we hedged 75.2% of our soybean production, 37.9% of our corn production and 50.7% of our cotton production. At the same time, we took advantage of moments of appreciation of U.S. dollar to hedge the Foreign Exchange of our crops (details on Table 35).
Financial Highlights
Net Revenue ended the first quarter at nearly R$2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA was R$704 million, with EBITDA margin of 36%. Net Income came to R$228.9 million, a sharp decrease in relation to 1Q23, mainly due to the lower Gross Income from soybean, affected by the reduction in planted area, yield and prices.
Cash generation in the quarter was a negative R$196 million, mainly due to the lower revenue from soybean (volume and price) and payments made for the acquisition of inputs for the crop year. Despite the negative cash generation, the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio ended the period at 1.31 times.
Investments in the period totaled R$110 million, allocated to the modernization of our machinery base (harvesters and planters), grain warehouses, buildings and, facilities (general renovations, irrigation project and solar panels).
At the Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, held on April 29th, 2024, shareholders approved the distribution of R$389 million, equivalent to 50% of the adjusted net income of the Parent Company (R$24 million as interest on equity, paid in January 2024, and R$365 million as dividends, to be paid on May 15th, 2024). Based on the closing numbers of 2023, dividend yield is 4.7% per year.
Expansion of area, acquisition of inputs and hedge of 2024/25 crop year
According to the material fact disclosed on April 29th, 2024, we expanded our Joint Venture with Agro Penido (Pioneira Farm) by adding 18,700 physical hectares with planting potential (considering 2nd crops) of 30,734 hectares. The current Pioneira Farm agreement is valid until the 2027/28 crop year. With the Joint Venture expansion, the term of the two combined areas will be extended until the 2043/44 crop year. With this expansion, the new physical area will be 38,572 hectares, and the new planting potential of Pioneira Farm will be 64,286 hectares.
We have been acquiring inputs for the 2024/25 crop year, whose planting will begin in September 2024. We acquired 91% of phosphates, 75% of potassium chloride, 53% of nitrogen and 18% pesticides, taking advantage of market opportunities.
We started soybean sales for 2024/25 crop year and, considering our commitments, we reached 39.8% of estimated production. We have not hedged any other crops yet. We also took advantage of the strong U.S. dollar to lock the Foreign Exchange of our crops (details in Table 35).

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE 2022/23 CROP YEAR
The first quarter of 2024 was marked by the conclusion of planting operations on second-crop areas for corn and cotton and completion of soybean harvest.
Planted Area
On December 4th, 2023, the Company disclosed a Material Fact notice on the adjustment to its planted area due to adverse weather conditions that affected the beginning of the crop year. We made some changes during soybean planting that affected the planted area for first- and second-crop cotton, second-crop corn and other crops. These changes were: Reduction of 16,761 hectares of soybean, area initially intended for planting soybean and second-crop cotton, but where only first-crop cotton was planted since its margins are higher. Reduction of 8,310 hectares of second-crop corn due to the replanting of 19,000 hectares of soybean. As for the planted area mentioned in the Material Fact notice disclosed in December 2023, there was an increase of 5,563 hectares of millet seed from cover planting areas, which is considered in other crops, and there was a reduction of 1,500 hectares of corn second crop due to the planting window.

Commercial Soybean
The 2023/24 crop year was characterized by the El Niño phenomenon, which affected mainly western Mato Grosso state, with a sharp reduction in precipitation in October, November, and December. The current soybean crop was fully harvested, with yield of 3,276 kg/ha, 17.0% lower than budget and 1.1% higher than the national average (CONAB, April 2024).
Soybean Seed
Soybean processing began in January, and our current estimate of sales to third parties plus internal consumption for 2024 is 1,250,000 bags of soybean seeds, 22.5% more than last year.
Cotton Lint First Crop
The crop is currently evolving from the flowering stage to the cotton-boll development stage, and we expect to achieve the budgeted yield.
7
Cotton Lint Second-Crop
The crop has been growing well and it is currently in the flowering stage. We expect to achieve the budgeted yield.
Cotton Seed
Cotton seed processing begins in July, and the estimate of sales to third parties plus internal consumption for 2024 is 143,318 bags, an increase of 10.3% from the previous year.
Corn Second Crop
The planting began in the last week of January 2024 following the progress in harvesting of early soybean varietals and the conclusion of second-crop cotton planting, and the area was concluded in the first half of March. The crop have the potential to reach the projected yield.

Costs per hectare budgeted for the 2023/24 crop year registered an average decrease in Brazilian Real of 10.1% compared to budgeted costs in the 2022/23 crop year, mainly reflecting lower prices of our main inputs. Currently, 59.0% of the costs are in U.S. dollar denominated (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and leases), and have a strong correlation to commodity prices. In addition, the remaining part of production costs are linked to the Brazilian Real, that is, 41.0% being impacted by inflation.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
As from 4Q23, the Company began to classify soybean seed and cotton seed, previously registered under "Other crops," as follows: soybean seed (commercial soybean + soybean seed) and cottonseed (cottonseed + cotton seed).
Net Revenue decreased 11.8% in 1Q24 vs. 1Q23. Despite the 51.7% increase in cotton invoiced volume and 15.4% increase in unit price, the decrease in soybean revenue is notably higher. Soybean volume, and invoiced unit price, decreased due to the lower yield in 2023/24 vs. 2022/23 and the decline in soybean prices.

The calculation of Variation in the Fair Value of Biological Assets (VFVBA) for soybean, cotton and corn crops reflects the estimated gross margin for these crops, at market value, less production costs and opportunity costs of owned land properties, related to crops undergoing significant biological transformation and products at the point of harvest. In relation to Cattle, VFVBA is calculated based on the market value of cattle on the reporting date.

VFVBA for soybean is negative due to expectations of lower margins and a reduction in the planted area in 2023/24 vs. 2022/23. Cattle VFVBA is negative due to the decline in the estimate of lower prices.
Breakdown of Net Realizable Value of Agricultural Products
The calculation of the Net Realizable Value of Agricultural Products (NRVAP) reflects the changes in the estimated net price in comparison with the cost of production and changes in agricultural product inventories during the period, resulting from harvest and shipment. The price used for assessing the net realizable value is the average price between volumes sold and inventory volumes to be sold, less taxes, logistics expenses and other direct expenses necessary for the performance of agreements with clients.
As from 4Q23, to better demonstrate values, we report in a specific line the changes in Net Realizable Value of Agricultural Products (NRVAP). Until then, such amounts were recognized under Cost of Goods Sold (other crops). Below is the reclassification:
