Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in Q1 2018 resulted mainly from a decrease in market prices for live pigs during the period and a respective decrease in fair value of livestock in the closing balance compared to the beginning of the year.

An increase in General and administrative expenses in Q1 2018 by RR 191 million includes RR 149 million of an increase in property tax expenses. In Q1 2017, the Group recognised gain from reverse of property tax for 2016 resulted from tax relief legally confirmed in Q1 2017.

Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in Q1 2018 and 2017 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 decreased by RR 617 million or 75% in Q1 2018 against 2017 as a result of lower volumes of crops sold during the current quarter.

General and administrative expenses increased by RR 39 million in Q1 2018 compared to 2017, which is attributed mainly to the higher payroll costs as a result of higher number of employees in administrative function.

Other operating income in 2017 turned to expenses in 2018 mainly due to a loss of RR 41 million on disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangibles and lower operating foreign exchange gain by RR 20 million, which was partly compensated by RR 27 million increase in valueof operating expenses reimbursed (government grants).

An increase in Adjusted EBITDA of Samara oil plant and Far East in Q1 2018 relates to an increase in sales volume of bulk and bottled oil that was partly offset by a decrease in sale prices of bulk oil and meal.

In Q1 2018 the Group continued to enjoy benefits from the state agriculture subsidies programme.In addition, in 2018 the Group continued the receiving bank loans with decreased preferential interest rates under the new programme of government support. Under this programme, the government provides subsidies to the banks to compensate the loss of income on credits with decreased interest rates, given by the banks to agricultural producers. In Q1 2018 IFRS accounts these credits are accounted for according to its face value with no adjustments to prevailing market rates. The differences between nominal and market interest rate is recognized as interest expenses and government grants in a statement of comprehensive income or in a statement of financial position.

(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".

 

Note:

ROS AGRO PLC (LSE: AGRO) - a holding company of Rusagro Group, a leading Russian diversified food producer with vertically integrated operations in the following branches:

Sugar:

We are a leading Russian sugar producer, producing sugar on nine production sites from sugar beet. We produce white and brown cube sugar and packaged sugar sold under the brands Chaikofsky, Russkii Sakhar, Mon Cafe and Brauni. Our sugar segment is vertically integrated with sugar beet cultivation in our agriculture segment, through which we strive to ensure a consistent supply of sugar beets. We also operate a cereal plant and sell buckwheat and rice under the brand Tyoplye Traditsii.

Meat:

According to the National Union of Pig Breeders, we are the third largest pork producer in Russia on the ground of relative production volumes for Q1 2018. We have implemented best practices in biosecurity at our pig farms.

Agricultural:

The Group currently controls what it believes to be one of the largest land banks among Russian agriculture producers, with 672 thousand hectares of land under our control located in the highly fertile Black Earth region of Russia (in the Belgorod, Tambov and Voronezh regions)and in the Far East Primorie region. Land and production sites are strategically located withinthe same regions to optimize efficiency and minimize logistical costs. We believe we are oneof the major sugar beet producers in Russia, and our agricultural segment also produces winter wheat and barley, sunflower products and soybeans. These products are partially consumedby the meat segment, supporting a synergistic effect and lowering price change risk.

Oil and Fat:

We are a leading producer of mayonnaise and consumer margarine in Russia, such as "Provansal EZhK" and "Schedroe Leto". In January 2013 the Company has begun production of mayonnaise under brand "Mechta Khozyayki". Our oil extraction plant located in Samara (Samara oil plant) enables us to control the source of 100% of the vegetable oil required by our oil and fats production plant in Ekaterinburg (Ekaterinburg fat plant).
