ROS AGRO financial results for Q1 2019

 

20 May 2019 - Today ROS AGRO PLC (the "Company"), the holding company of Rusagro Group (the "Group"), a leading Russian diversified food producer with vertically integrated operations, has announced the financial results for the three months ended 31 March 2019.

 

Q1 2019 Highlights

 

- Sales amounted to RR 32,167 million (US$ 495 million1), an increase of RR 16,899 million compared to Q1 2018;

- Adjusted EBITDA2 amounted to RR 4,094 million (US$ 63 million), an increase of RR 2,379 million compared to Q1 2018;

- Adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 11% in Q1 2018 to 13% in Q1 2019;

- Net profit for the period amounted to RR 1,422 million (US$ 22 million);

- Net debt position3 as of Q1 2019 amounted to RR 54,188 million (US$ 837 million);

- Net Debt/ Adjusted EBITDA (LTM4) as of Q1 2019 was 2.92x.

 

Commenting on the results, Maxim Basov, a member of the Board of Directors of ROS AGRO PLC and CEO of the Group, said:

 

"Q1 2019 showed good results as sales and adjusted EBITDA of the Group continued to improve. Agriculture and Sugar segments benefited from high sales prices leading to adjusted EBITDA margin growth. Meanwhile, Meat and Oil & Fats segments showed strong sales results, but experienced margins drop. Meat segment continued to grow processed pork sales volumes, but it was negatively influenced by higher grain prices. Oil & Fats sales were triggered by growth of bottled oil sales and tolling agreement with Solnechnye Producty plants. However, the margin of this segment dropped due to the lack of EBITDA from Solnechnye Producty assets on Ros Agro balance."

Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in Q1 2019 and 2018 figures represents the realisation of gain from crops revaluation, recognised in the previous year financial statements and remained unrealised as at the year-end.

Net gain/(loss) on revaluation of crops and its subsequent realisation do not affect the Adjusted EBITDA figure.

Distribution and selling expenses increased by RR 682 million in Q1 2019 against 2018 as a result of higher sales volumes of all types of crops sold during the current quarter.

General and administrative expenses decreased by RR 19 million in Q1 2019 compared to 2018, which is attributed mainly to the lower payroll costs as a result of lower number of employees in administrative function.

(1) The exchange rates used for translation of RR amounts into USD represent average Central Bank official exchange rate for the respective reporting period for income, expenses and profits and the Central Bank official exchange rate as at the reporting date for balance figures.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating profit before taking into account (i) depreciation included in operating profit, (ii) other operating income/ (expenses), net (other than reimbursement of operating costs (government grants)), (iii) net gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce, (iv) provision/ (reversal of provision) for net realizable value of agricultural products in stock, (v) share-based remuneration (see Appendix 2 for the detailed calculation of Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS. It should not be considered as an alternative to profit for the period as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, acquisitions of subsidiaries and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt.

(3) The Group determines the net debt as short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, bank promissory notes and bonds held for trading.

(4) LTM - The abbreviation for the "Last twelve months".
