- Sales amounted to RR 38,210 million (US$ 544 million1), an increase of RR 5,621 million compared to 1H 2015;

- Adjusted EBITDA2 amounted to RR 8,071 million (US$ 115 million), a decreaseof RR 2,626 million compared to 1H 2015;

- Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from 33% in 1H 2015 to 21% in 1H 2016;

- Net profit for the period amounted to RR 2,033 million (US$ 29 million);

- Net debt position3 as of 30 June 2016 was negative and amounted to RR -2,574 million (US$ -40 million);

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

 

"Second quarter reflected weak performance of the season end. Oil & fat factories' capacity utilization was low due to the deficit of raw material, consumer business suffered from weakness of CIS export markets and mayonnaise price war. Meat business was slowly improving from the market surplus shock. Sugar and agriculture divisions continue to perform well - the second quarter results include the SG&A costs of acquired Razgulyai assets. Net income was influenced by decrease of government subsidies."

Growth in sales of the sugar segment in 1H 2016 compared to 1H 2015 was a result of higher sales prices, that was partly offset by a slight decrease in sales volume. Sales volumes in Q2 2016 decreased by 23% that led to 1% decrease in sales despite sales price growth.

Sugar sales, production volumes and average sales prices per kilogram (excl. VAT) wereas follows:

The decrease in sales volume is linked to change in product mix. In the middle of 2015 the Group launched the slaughter house, that led to movement from sales of livestock pigs to sales of processed pigs with related decrease in volumes due to wastage.

Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in 1H 2016 resulted from a decrease in market prices for live pigs and an increase in cost of livestock, that in turn was caused by an increase in feed costs.

 

 

Agricultural Segment

 

As at 30 June 2016 the segment's area of controlled land stands at 610 thousand hectares, including 45 thousand hectares in the Far Eastern region. The financial results of the agricultural segment for 1H 2016 and Q2 2016 compared to 1H 2015 and Q2 2015 respectivelyare presented below:

Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in H1 2016 represents the realisation of gain from crops revaluation, recognised for harvest of 2015 in the financial statements of 2015 and remained unrealised as at 31 December 2015.

In IFRS financial statements of 2015 the Group recognised gain from all crops, harvestedin 2015, including crops in stock at the year-end. Consequently, the crops in stock as at31 December 2015 were measured at market prices prevailing at the time of harvest. In IFRS financial statements for 2016, as these crops are realised, the gain on revaluation is writtenoff in the statement of comprehensive income decreasing the profit of the segment. The gainon revaluation of crops and its subsequent realisation do not affect the Adjusted EBITDA figure.

Other operating income, net is significantly higher in 1H 2016 as no loss from lost harvest write-off occurred in the current period compared to RR 117 million of expenses in 1H 2015. Lost harvest write-off is represented by damage of crops due to unfavourable weather conditions.

In 2016 the Group continued to enjoy benefits from the state agriculture subsidies programme.In 1H 2016 RR 692 million of subsidies received covered 27% of gross interest expense.

Other financial income, net relates mainly to net financial foreign exchange losses.

__________________________________

(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.

 

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 six production sites from both sugar beet and raw cane sugar. We produce white cube sugar and white packaged sugar sold under the brands Chaikofsky, Russkii Sakhar and Brauni. Our sugar segment is vertically integrated with sugar beet cultivation in our agriculture segment, through which we striveto ensure a consistent supply of sugar beets.

Meat:

According to the National Union of Pig Breeders, we are the second largest pork producer in Russia on the ground of relative production volumes for 2015. 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 610 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).

(*)In 2015 full-year financial statements the Group changed the way of presentation of gain/ loss on initial recognition of agricultural produce and gain/ loss on revaluation of biological assets in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In the interim financial statements for 2015 and in the financial statements for 2014 and earlier periods gain/ loss arising from initial recognition of biological assets and agricultural produce and from changes in fair-value-less-cost-to-sell of biological assets was included in statement of comprehensive income within a separate line "Gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce" above the gross profit line. In 1H 2015 and Q2 2015  "Gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce" amounted to RR 4,178,852 thousand and RR 2,522,842 thousand respectively. Gain recorded on initial recognition of agricultural produce attributable to the realized agricultural produce and the result of revaluation of biological assets attributable to the realized biological assets was included within the line "Cost of sales" and amounted to RR 4,707,028 in 1H 2015 and RR 2,566,097 million in Q2 2015. Starting the full-year financial statements for 2015 these gains/ losses are included within "Net gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce" line above the gross profit line.

For further details refer to note 2 "Summary of significant accounting policies" of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
