MHP SE

Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended 30 September 2021

 

MHP SE (LSE:MHPC), the parent company of a leading international agro-industrial group with headquarters in Ukraine, today announces its results for the third quarter and nine months ended 30 September 2021. Hereinafter, MHP SE and its subsidiaries are referred to as "MHP", "The Company" or "The Group".

Starting from the publication of its financial results for Q1 2021, MHP shows relevant comparisons of results not only year-on-year, but also to the preceding period. Accordingly, Q3 2021 results in Poultry, Meat Processing and European Operating segments are compared not only with Q3 2020, but also with Q2 2021. For Grain Growing Operations, where results are driven by seasonality effects, this comparison is not relevant.

Chicken meat prices

The total volume of chicken meat sold to third parties in 9M 2021 remained the same and constituted 521,538 tonnes (9M 2020: 523,759 tonnes). In Q3 2021 domestic sales decreased by 12% to 76,401 tonnes, compared to Q3 2020 (by 5% higher compared to Q2 2021), mainly due to decreased sales of frozen chicken: whole chicken, fillet and quarters. Poultry exports remained relatively stable both y/y and q/q.

Poultry export price in Q3 2021 increased by 25% year-on-year, and by 5% quarter-on-quarter, mainly driven by strong prices on breast and fillet in Europe as well as positive price trends for quarters and small chicken in the MENA region.

Poultry prices on the domestic market in Q3 2021 increased by 39% year-on-year mainly affected by a substantial poultry production cost increase since Q4 2020 and upward price trends for all proteins.

Vegetable oil

In Q3 2021, sunflower oil sales volume amounted to 36,620 tonnes, down 57% year-on-year. In 9M 2021 MHP's sales of sunflower oil decreased by 49% compared to 9M 2020 to 127,760 tonnes, mainly due to decrease in production as a result of a decreased share of sunflower cake in fodder (due to change in the fodder recipe).

Sales of soybean oil amounted to 12,571 tonnes in Q3 2021, 9% higher year-on-year, and 35,587 tonnes in 9M 2021, 7% higher year-on-year, mainly as a result of raising production to support the increased share of soybean cake in fodder and increased third party sales.

Revenue increased by 18% in 9M 2021 compared to 9M 2020 mainly as a result of increased prices of chicken meat.

IAS 41 standard loss in Q3 2021 amounted to US$ 11 million (compared with a US$ 17 million loss in Q3 2020) mainly as a result of an increase in cost of chicken meat.

Gross profit in Q3 2021 increased by 31% year-on-year to US$ 76 million. This was mainly due to the increases in chicken meat prices. Poultry production costs in Q3 2021 increased compared to Q2 2021 reflecting higher cost of fodder.

Adjusted EBITDA in 9M 2021 increased by 17%, as a result of an increase in gross profit partly offset by an increase in administration, sales and distribution expenses.

Grain Growing Operations Segment

In 2021, the Company is to harvest around 355,000 hectares of land.

As of the date of this report, the Company's harvesting campaign is almost complete. All spring crop (corn, soybeans and sunflower) yields are expected to be good and are in line with the Company's expectations taking into account weather conditions.

Crops current yields are as follows:

Revenue in 9M 2021 amounted to US$ 79 million compared to US$ 90 million in 9M 2020. The decrease was mainly attributable to the lower amount of crops in stock designated for sale as of 31 December 2020, compared to stock for sale as of 31 December 2019, mainly as a result of lower yields in 2020.

IAS 41 standard gain in 9M 2021 amounted to US$ 165 million compared to US$ 39 million in 9M 2020. The gain mainly represents the result of the revaluation of crops in fields (biological assets) at the reporting date, due to increases in grain prices and yields.

The average price in 9M 2021 increased by 17% to UAH 47.29 per kg (excluding VAT), due to increased sales of more expensive SKUs and expansion of cooperation with large HoReCa channels such as McDonalds Ukraine and KFC (since Q2 2021) with more marginal products sales increase.

Poultry sales in Q3 2021 increased by 15% to 19,367 tonnes (Q3 2021: 16,804 tonnes) and decreased by 1% quarter-on-quarter. This was facilitated by increased production of chicken meat following expansion of facilities in Croatia and Serbia. Average prices showed positive to stable trends year-on-year and constituted EUR 2.65 in Q3 2021.

Revenue increased by 21% to US$ 301 million in 9M 2021, mainly as a result of an increase in poultry sales volume. Adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) reached US$ 18 million and US$ 50 million in Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 respectively. An increase in Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2021 year-on-year was mainly attributable to higher volumes sold and higher operational efficiencies that allowed PP to offset growing cost of raw materials.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital in 9M 2021 amounted to US$ 278 million (9M 2020: US$ 196 million).

Use of funds in working capital during 9M 2021 was mostly related to investments in crops in the fields to be harvested in 2021. The difference compared to 9M 2020 was mainly attributable to lower investments in inventory during 9M 2021 (sunflower and soya) designated for internal consumption.

In 9M 2021 total CAPEX amounted to US$ 92 million mainly related to modernization projects, new products development, maintenance and further improvements at Perutnina Ptuj production facilities.

2) Indebtedness under trade credit facilities that is required to be repaid within 12 months of drawdown should be excluded for purposes of this calculation.

As of 30 September 2021, the share of long-term debt in the total outstanding debt remained at 99%. The weighted average interest rate was below 7%.

As of 30 September 2021, MHP's cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$ 287 million. Net debt decreased to US$ 1,163 million, compared to US$ 1,244 million as at 31 December 2020.

The Net Debt / LTM adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) ratio was 2.09 as of 30 September 2021, lower than the limit of 3.0 defined in the Eurobond agreement.

As a hedge for currency risks, revenue from the export of grain, sunflower and soybean oil, sunflower husks, and chicken meat are denominated in US Dollars and Euros, sufficient for covering debt service expenses. Export revenue for 9M 2021 amounted to US$ 843 million or 51% of total revenue (US$ 761 million or 54% of total sales in 9M 2020).

 

 

 

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS/CHANGES IN THE BOARD

The Company announces today that Mr. Yuriy Melnyk, taking into consideration the length of his service as an Executive Director of MHP SE and Chief Operational Officer of MHP SE and the significance of rotation of executive directors, resigned from the Board of MHP SE with effect from 16 November 2021. Mr. Melnyk will continue to serve the Company as First Deputy CEO. Executive Chairman, Dr John Rich commented: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to Yuriy Melnyk for the enormous contribution he has made to the success and development of MHP over the last 11 years. We are delighted that he will continue to serve the company as First Deputy CEO."

 

 

Outlook

The powerful combination of positive price and weather trends reported at the time of our half-year results in September has continued unabated through the harvesting season, which is now substantially completed with record crop yields. The combination of high global grain prices and actions the Company has taken to lock in forward sales give us confidence that results for the full year will be at the top end of our earlier expectations, with EBITDA in excess of US$ 600 million.

 

Looking ahead to 2022, some of these trends are expected to soften, and this will be compounded by further substantial cost increases, particularly in fertilizer, fodder and utilities, which we are already experiencing in the fourth quarter of this year. As a result, next year's results are expected to revert to more customary levels after MHP's exceptional performance in 2021.   Notes to Editors:

 

About MHP

MHP is the leading producer of poultry products not only in Ukraine , but also in the Balkans (Perutnina Ptuj Group) and in the EU.

Ukraine: MHP has the greatest market share (around 57% of industrial production) and highest brand recognition for its products. MHP owns and operates each of the key stages of chicken production processes, from feed grains and fodder production to egg hatching and grow out to processing, marketing, distribution and sales (including through MHP's franchise outlets). Vertical integration reduces MHP's dependence on suppliers and its exposure to increases in raw material prices. In addition to cost efficiency, vertical integration also allows MHP to maintain strict biosecurity and to control the quality of its inputs and the resulting quality and consistency of its products through to the point of sale. To support its sales, MHP maintains a distribution network consisting of 15 distribution and logistical centres, within major Ukrainian cities. MHP uses its trucks for the distribution of its products, which Management believes reduces overall transportation costs and delivery times.

MHP also has a leading grain cultivation business growing corn to support the vertical integration of its chicken production and increasingly other grains, such as wheat and rape, for sale to third parties. MHP leases agricultural land located primarily in the highly fertile black soil regions of Ukraine.

 

The Balkans: Perutnina Ptuj is a leading poultry and meat-processing producer in the Balkans, has production assets in four Balkan countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; owns distribution companies in Austria, Macedonia and Romania and supply products to 15 countries in Europe. Perutnina Ptuj is a vertically integrated company across all states of chicken meat production - feed, hatching eggs production and hatching, breeding, slaughtering, sausages and further poultry processing production.

Since May 15, 2008, MHP has traded on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MHPC.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Key financial highlights

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 consolidated revenue increased by 16% and amounted to USD 1,646,586 thousand, compared to USD 1,414,017 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to increase in the export and domestic price as well as growth in export volume of chicken meat sold. Export sales for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 constituted 51% of total revenue and amounted to USD 842,948 thousand, compared to USD 761,244 thousand, and 54% of total revenue for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. The increase in export revenue was mainly attributable to increase in the price and volume of chicken meat sold.

Gross profit increased by 78% and amounted to USD 572,991 thousand for the nine-month period ended30 September 2021 compared to USD 322,399 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. The increase was driven mainly by higher returns earned by the grain growing and poultry and related operations segments due to increase in grain and poultry meat prices respectively.

Operating profit increased by 114% and amounted to USD 416,153 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 compared to USD 194,410 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020, mainly as a result of an increase in gross profit.

Profit from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 amounted to USD 376,847 thousand, compared to loss of USD 107,617 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. The growth is mainly due to increase in operating profit as well as appreciation of Ukrainian Hryvnia against US Dollar and EURO, which resulted in foreign exchange gain of USD 74,680 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 compared to loss of USD 190,500 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020.

Having regard to the activities of the Group, management believes that the above measures are frequently used by investors, analysts and stakeholders to evaluate the efficiency of the Group's operations. For further information on the above measures, please refer to page 6 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021.

Related parties

During the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020 the Group entered into transactions with related parties that are under common control of the Principal Shareholder of the Group (Note 1) in the ordinary course of business. Detailed information on operations with related parties is disclosed in Note 14.

Dividends

At the extraordinary general meeting, which was held on 28 April 2021, the Shareholders of MHP SE have approved payment of an annual dividend of USD 0.2803 per share, equivalent to USD 30,000 thousand to shareholders on the register as of 7 May 2021. As at 30 September 2021 dividends were fully paid to shareholders.

At its meeting on 17 November, in recognition of the Company's exceptional performance in 2021, the Board of Directors approved the payment of a one-off special dividend of US$ 0.2803 per share, equivalent to USD 30,000 thousand. Details of payment, which is expected to be made in December 2021, will be announced later this month. The Board will consider payment of its customary annual dividend in March 2022.

Risks and uncertainties

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties, which could have a material impact on the Group's performance over the remaining three months of the financial year and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The directors do not consider that the principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the publication of the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020. A detailed explanation of the risks, and how the Group seeks to mitigate the risks, can be found on pages 154 to 157 of the annual report which is available at www.mhp.com.cy.

COVID-19

In 2020 a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread rapidly all over the world resulting in the announcement of pandemic status by the World Health Organization in March 2020.

The world economy entered a period of unprecedented health care crisis that has already caused considerable global disruption in business activities and everyday life.

 

Risks and uncertainties (continued)

COVID-19

COVID-19 had an adverse impact on 2020 earnings, mainly because of the impact on prices and exported volumes as many global competitors were experiencing reduced demand and resulting excess capacity. At the end of 2020 and in 9M 2021 the situation stabilized temporarily, although it still could negatively impact the remainder of 2021. These challenges could increase our operating costs and negatively impact our volumes. Management cannot currently predict the ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on short and long-term demand, as it will depend on, among other things, the severity and duration of the COVID-19 crisis.

Management has concluded that the event does not have an immediate material impact on the business operations. The Company's liquidity is expected to be adequate to continue to run operations and meet obligations as they become due in the foreseeable future.

Notes to the INTERIM CONDENSED Consolidated financial statements

for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been condensed or omitted. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of the Group management, necessary to fairly state the results of interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The 31 December 2020 statement of financial position was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113. Audited consolidated financial statements are available at www.mhp.com.cy.

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

The adoption of the new or revised Standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group and did not result in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Functional and presentation currencies

The functional currency of Ukrainian companies of the Group is the Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH"); the functional currency of the Cyprus companies and Luxembourg company of the Group is US Dollars ("USD"), the functional currency of the other European companies of the Group is EURO ("EUR"), the functional currency of the United Arab Emirates companies is Dirham ("AED"). Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities concerned are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. Such transactions are initially recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses arising on exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("USD"), which is the Group's presentation currency.

The results and financial position of the Group are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures:

· Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate as of the reporting date of that statement of financial position;

· Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;

· The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss;

· All equity items, except for the revaluation reserve, are translated at the historical exchange rate. The revaluation reserve is translated at the closing rate as of the date of the statement of financial position.

For practical reasons, the Group translates items of income and expenses for each period presented in the financial statements using the quarterly average exchange rates, if such translations reasonably approximate the results translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Seasonality of operations

Poultry and related operations, European operating segment and Meat processing and other agricultural operations are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.

Due to seasonality and implications of IAS 41, results of the Grain growing segment in the first half of the year mainly reflects sales of carried forward agricultural produce and the effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year it reflects sales of crops and the effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year. Also, grain growing segment has seasonal requirements for working capital increase from November to May, due to the sowing campaign.

3. Changes in the group structure

Discontinued operation

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020, the Group disposed of the Snyatynska poultry farm, which carried out goose meat and foie gras operations located in Ukraine, and was previously presented within Meat processing and other agricultural operations segment. Net assets as of the date of disposal amounted to USD 3,303 thousand. The total cash consideration amounted to USD 2,700 thousand, which was received during this reporting period.

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021, the Group disposed of the assets of its subsidiary Dobropilskyi GPP PrJSC, which was located in Ukraine and carried out grain storage operations, and was previously presented within Poultry and related operations segment. The net assets as of the date of disposal amounted to USD 620 thousand. Before sale the property plant and equipment included into the net assets disposed were impaired by USD 4,105 thousand. Impairment was recognized as decrease in revaluation reserve related to those property, plant and equipment. The total cash consideration amounted to USD 671 thousand, which was received during this reporting period.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.

Acquisitions

On 01 June 2021, the Group acquired 51% share in the company Lubnym`yaso LLC, Ukrainian meat production plant, whose main economic activity is the production and sale of beef meat under the trade mark Scott Smeat. As of the date of acquisition, the net assets of the acquired meat production plant amounted to USD 1,800 thousand. Purchase consideration of acquired share is equal to USD 1,840 thousand and was paid in cash. The goodwill in the amount of USD 921 thousand is attributable to the expectations that this acquisition will support strategic transformation to a culinary company through launch of additional products.

4. Segment information

The Group's business is managed on a worldwide basis, but operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices primarily in Ukraine and Europe.

Reportable segments are presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

Segment information is analysed on the basis of the types of goods supplied by the Group's operating divisions. The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are as follows:

Poultry and related operations segment:

 

sales of chicken meat

sales of vegetable oil and related products

other poultry related sales

Grain growing operations segment:

sales of grain

Meat processing and other agricultural operations segment:

sales of meat processing products and other meat

other agricultural operations (milk, feed grains and other)

European operating segment:

sales of meat processing and chicken meat products in Southeast Europe

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies described in Note 2. Sales between segments are carried out at market prices. The segment result represents operating profit under IFRS before unallocated corporate expenses and loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment. Unallocated corporate expenses include management remuneration, representative expenses, and expenses incurred in respect of the maintenance of office premises. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

European operating segment primarily includes sales of chicken meat and meat processing products, produced in the facilities of Perutnina Ptuj. However, the CODM manages this as a single segment, on the basis that each of research, development, manufacture, distribution and selling of chicken meat and meat processing products requires single marketing strategies, centralised budgeting process and centralised management of production operations.

6. Profit for the period

The Group's gross profit for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 increased compared to the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 and amounted to USD 572,991 thousand (30 September 2020: USD 322,399 thousand). The increase was driven mainly by higher returns earned by the grain growing and poultry and related operations segments due to increase in grain and poultry meat prices respectively.

The Group's operating profit increased mainly as a result of an increase in gross profit partly offset by increase of administration, sales and distribution expenses.

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

6. Profit for the period (continued)

The Group's profit for the period from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 increased compared to the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020 from USD 107,617 thousand of loss to profit of USD 376,847 thousand. A positive impact was attributable to growth of operating profit and an unrealized foreign exchange gain amounted to USD 74,680 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 compared to loss in amount of USD 190,500 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. Unrealized foreign exchange loss for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mostly attributable to bonds and bank borrowings denominated in foreign currencies due to UAH depreciation against USD and EUR.

7. Deferred income

Government grants for compensation of construction and reconstruction of livestock farms and compensation of cost of machinery and equipment are presented in the statement of the financial position as deferred income, which is recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the related assets. All other compensations received were recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in full. During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 the Group recognized government compensations in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in amount of USD 5,802 thousand (2020: USD 5,303 thousand).

During the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020, the Group received government compensations in accordance with EU farming subsidies policy and other compensations in accordance with the EU national programs of employment, assigned contributions for employees, and refunds of excise duties in amount of USD 4,705 thousand and USD 4,868 thousand respectively.

8. Property, plant and equipment

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021, the Group's additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to USD 85,137 thousand (nine-month period ended 30 September 2020: USD 53,048 thousand) mainly related to modernization projects, new products development and the maintenance and improvement of Perutnina Ptuj production facilities.

There were no significant disposals of property, plant and equipment during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020.

The remaining part of the movement mainly relates to translation difference into the presentation currency.

9. Inventories and agricultural produce

A decrease of agricultural produce balances for nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 was mainly as a result of internal consumption of corn, sunflower, wheat and soya partly offset by harvest of current year.

Changes of inventory balances occurred due to consumption of purchased grain stock and due to the fact that as of 31 December 2020 expenses incurred in cultivating of fields which had to be planted in spring 2021 were capitalised in work in progress balance. As of 30 September 2021 these expenses were classified as crops in fields within biological assets, as the plants were already sown.

10. Biological assets

The increase in current biological assets as compared to 31 December 2020 is primarily related to crops in fields balance. The increase in crops in fields balance mainly relates to spring crops seeded in the first half of 2021 classified as biological assets as well as due to IAS 41 revaluation adjustment.

11. Share capital

As of 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020 the authorized, issued and fully paid share capital of MHP SE comprised the following number of shares:

13. Bonds issued (continued)

Covenants

Certain restrictions under the indebtedness agreements (e.g. incurrence of additional indebtedness, restricted payments, dividends payment) are dependent on the leverage ratio of the Group. Once the leverage ratio exceeds 3.0 to 1, it is not permitted for the Group to make certain restricted payments, declare dividends exceeding USD 30 million in any financial year, incur additional debt except that is defined as a Permitted Debt. According to the indebtedness agreement, the consolidated leverage ratio is tested on the date of incurrence of additional indebtedness or restricted payment and after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or restricted payment as if it had been incurred or done at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are publicly available (or are made available). The Group has tested all the transactions occurred prior to publication of these financial statements and has complied with all the covenants defined by indebtedness agreement during the reporting periods ended 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020.

As at 30 September 2021 the leverage ratio of the Group is 2.09 to 1 (31 December 2020: 3.66 to 1), lower than the defined limit 3.0 to 1. The Group believes that since as at the interim reporting date, it improved the leverage ratio and met the covenants imposed, the aforementioned restrictions are no longer applicable to the Group from 9 September 2021 the date of publication of reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended 30 June 2021.

14. Related party balances and transactions

For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the other party, or exercises significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.

Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms and conditions as transactions between unrelated parties.

Transactions with related parties

The Group enters into transactions with related parties that are under common control of the Principal Shareholder of the Group (Note 1) in the ordinary course of business for the purchase and sale of goods and services and in relation to the provision of financing arrangements.

Terms and conditions of sales to related parties are determined based on arrangements specific to each contract or transaction. The terms of the payables and receivables related to trading activities of the Group do not vary significantly from the terms of similar transactions with third parties. 

Transactions with related parties during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020 were as follows:

Loans and finance aid receivable

On 21 January 2020, the Board approved a loan facility of up to USD 80,000 thousand to the company's principal shareholder, WTI Trading Limited ("WTI") to meet WTI's general liquidity requirements and other corporate purposes for a maximum of three years.

As of 30 September 2021, the Group had advanced loans to WTI in the aggregate amount of USD 60,000 thousand (31 December 2020: USD 67,400 thousand). The loans, with a maturity in December 2021 - June 2022, bear interest at a rate of 8.25% to 9.25% and are secured by a personal guarantee of WTI's ultimate beneficial owner.

Expected credit losses on these loans amounted to USD 1,761 thousand as at 30 September 2021 (31 December 2020: USD 1,969 thousand).

The Group's Directors believe that the loans were issued at arm's length terms and for fair market value, and that they were in the best interests and for the commercial benefit of the Group and do not violate the terms of the Senior Notes (Note 13).

Compensation of key management personnel

Total compensation of the Group's key management personnel that was paid for for the periods ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 amounted to USD 15,853 thousand and USD 11,916 thousand, respectively. Compensation of key management personnel consists of contractual salary and performance bonuses.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments

Operating environment

Since 2016, the Ukrainian economy, which represents the core operating environment of the Group, has been demonstrating signs of stabilization after the years of political and economic tensions. Until the break-out of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the first quarter 2020, the real GDP has been steadily growing, however it decreased by around 4.2% for year ended 31 December 2020. Real GDP increased by around 2.4% year on year for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 compared to decrease of 5.5% for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2020. The annual inflation amounted to 11.0% (2020: 2.3%).

Ukraine continues to limit its political and economic ties with Russia, in view of the annexation of Crimea, an autonomous republic of Ukraine, and an armed conflict with separatists continuing in certain parts of Luhanska and Donetska regions. As a result, the Ukrainian economy is refocusing on the EU market by realizing the potential of the established Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with the EU.

To further facilitate business activities in Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine (the "NBU") has lifted the foreign currency proceeds surrender requirement from 20 June 2019, cancelled all limits on repatriation of dividends from July 2019 and gradually decreased its rate of refinancing, from 18.0% in January 2019 to 8.5% in November 2021.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments (continued)

Operating environment (continued)

The degree of macroeconomic uncertainty in Ukraine in 2021 still remains high due to a significant amount of public debt scheduled for repayment in 2021, which requires mobilizing substantial domestic and external financing in an increasingly challenging financing environment for the emerging markets. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities have demonstrated their commitment to introduce reforms in order to boost economic growth, while maintaining macro-fiscal stability and liberalizing economic environment.

Further economic growth depends, to a large extent, upon the success of the Ukrainian government in realization of the planned structural reforms and effective cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF") as well as the ability of the government to cope with the macroeconomic challenges posed by the confinement measures introduced to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The responses put in place by many countries, including Ukraine and the EU, to contain the spread of COVID-19 resulted in significant operational disruption for many companies and have significant impact on global financial markets. While food supply chains proved to be largely resilient during the pandemic and the confinement measures are now being progressively lifted or adapted in Ukraine and other countries, many uncertainties yet remain around the economic recovery, and thus around the evolution of the consumer demand and the supply chain stability. In particular, the forecast magnitude of the recession is such that it is expected to lead to a sharp increase in unemployment in the EU, negatively impacting private consumption and limiting the Group's ability to enjoy benefits from export supplies to the EU and other key markets.

Management has considered all available information about the future, including the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on customers, suppliers and staff, as well as actual and projected foreseeable impact from various other factors. Management will continue to monitor the situation closely and will assess the need for additional measures in case the period of disruption prolongs or escalates further.

The Group reviews its non-financial assets to determine if any external or internal indicators of impairment exists. Based on these reviews, there were no indicators of impairment as of 30 September 2021.

Taxation and legal issues

The Group performs most of its operations in Ukraine and therefore falls within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian tax authorities. Ukrainian legislation and regulations regarding taxation and other operational matters, including currency exchange control and custom regulations, continue to evolve. Legislation and regulations are not always clearly written and are subject to varying interpretations by local, regional and national authorities, and other Governmental bodies. Non-compliance with Ukrainian laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of severe penalties and fines. Future tax examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies' tax filings. Such assessments could include taxes, penalties and fines, and these amounts could be material. While the Group believes it has complied with local tax legislation, there are new significant changes to the tax legislation that may be introduced in the near future.

Management believes that the Group has been in compliance with all requirements of effective tax legislation.

The Group exports vegetable oil, chicken meat and related products, and performs intercompany transactions, which may potentially be in the scope of the Ukrainian transfer pricing ("TP") regulations. The Group has submitted the controlled transaction report for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 within the required deadlines.

As of 30 September 2021, the Group's management assessed its possible exposure to tax risks for a total amount of USD 5,808 thousand related to corporate income tax (31 December 2020: USD 5,459 thousand). No provision was recognised relating to such possible tax exposure.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments (continued)

Operating environment (continued)

As of 30 September 2021, companies of the Group were engaged in ongoing litigation with tax authorities for the amount of USD 66,003 thousand (31 December 2020: USD 36,616 thousand), including USD 53,652 thousand (31 December 2020: USD 26,153 thousand) of litigations with the tax authorities related to disallowance of certain amounts of VAT refunds and deductible expenses claimed by the Group. Out of this amount, USD 22,917 thousand as of 30 September 2021 (31 December 2020: USD 289 thousand) relates to cases where court hearings have taken place and where the court in either the first or second instance has already ruled in favour of the Group. In addition, the Group maintains disputes with tax authorities in the amount USD 7,955 thousand, which are not brought to the Court as at 30 September 2021.

Manage-ment believes that, based on the past history of court resolutions of similar lawsuits by the Group, it is unlikely that a significant settlement will arise out of such lawsuits and no respective provision is required in the Group's financial statements as of the reporting date.

Contractual commitments on purchase of property, plant and equipment

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021, the companies of the Group entered into a number of contracts with foreign suppliers for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the development of agricultural operations. As of 30 September 2021, purchase commitments on such contracts were primarily related to modernization projects, new products development and the maintenance and improvement of Perutnina Ptuj production facilities and amounted to USD 27,446 thousand (31 December 2020: USD 15,396 thousand).

16. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value disclosures in respect of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" and IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement". Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group's financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.

The fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade accounts receivables, and trade accounts payable due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Set out below is the comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all the Group's financial instruments, excluding those discussed above, that are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position:

1,482,897

 1,515,005

The carrying amount of Bank borrowings and Senior Notes issued includes interest payable at each of the respective dates.

The fair value of bank borrowings was estimated by discounting the expected future cash outflows by a market rate of interest for bank borrowings 2.7% (31 December 2020: 3.4%), and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of Senior Notes was estimated based on market quotations and is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy
