KSG Agro S.A.

Interim Management Report

for the three months ended 31 March 2023

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

KSG Agro S.A., separately referred to as "KSG Agro" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries referred to as the "Group", remains among the largest vertically integrated agricultural groups in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, present in all major sectors of the agricultural market, including production, storage, processing and sale of agricultural products. Its key operating activities are breeding of pigs, processing of pork and production of wheat and sunflower.

IMPACT OF THE WAR EVENTS IN UKRAINE

On 24 February 2022, Russia started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Because the Group's key assets and operations are in Ukraine, the Group might be significantly affected by these events. Management's analysis of the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Invasion, as well as management's strategy and actions to mitigate those risks, are outlined in Note 7 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The outcome of the Invasion, however, is impossible to predict at this time.

Since the start of the Russian Invasion, no fighting occurred in close vicinity to the Group's assets. The Group's pig farm and its crop fields are located in the centre of Ukraine, which hasn't seen any fighting yet.

As at the date of this report, the Group had successfully completed its spring sowing campaign and does not expect significant interruptions to its production cycle in the near future.

Where possible, the judgments and estimates used in the accompanying financial statements were updated to reflect the impact of the ongoing war events. However, adopting a more conservative approach, management only considered the events that had an unfavourable effect on such judgments and estimates.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Group continues to implement its simple strategy of focusing on three winter crops, two summer crops and pigs of a single breed. The Group's products, being basic food products, are always in demand, and remain in especially high demand in 2023, during war time.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Group exported 4.2 thousand tonnes of grain crops (wheat, corn, barley), mainly to Asia and Africa. Export deliveries were made within the framework of the existing grain corridor through the ports of Odesa and the Odesa region.

During late May to early June, the Group completed the sowing of sunflower on an area of 7.3 thousand hectares and is currently engaged in chemical and mechanical soil treatment using mechanical cultivators and rotary harrows. Some seeds have already sprouted and are in good condition.

The sowing campaign was carried out as planned, without major interruptions from the war activities.

Earlier in June, the Kakhovka Dam on the Dnipro River was destroyed as a result of the war, flooding the areas downstream and drying up several irrigation canals upstream. While the Group partly relied on water supplied from those canals, those supplies were not essential to the Group's operations. The Group switched to alternative sources of water and does not anticipate water shortages in the near future. None of the Group's locations are downstream from the Dam and hence were not affected by the flooding.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Consolidated financial results of the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

	Three months	Three months	Change, %
In thousands of US dollars	2023	2022
Revenue	5,116	3,540	+45%
Gain/(loss) on biological transformation, net	100	436	-77%
Cost of sales	(3,154)	(2,566)	+23%
Gross profit	2,062	1,410	+46%
Operating profit	1,535	1,117	+37%
Depreciation and amortisation	338	407	-17%
EBITDA	1,873	1,524	+23%
Profit for the period	1,528	1,842	-17%

Revenue in 2023 was comparably larger, due to lower sales in the first quarter of 2022, which were heavily affected by the start of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Just like the prior year, in 2023 the Group used more of its own grain for feed production instead of purchasing it (to decrease reliance on outside suppliers of feed components during wartime), but in 2023 the Group also started exporting crops, thereby increasing the volume of sales as compared to 2022.

Details by segment are disclosed in Note 12 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The Board is currently formulating a new development strategy to expand the Group's activity in the European Union, with a clear target to have the majority of the Group's assets and revenues in the EU within the next 3 to 5 years. This could be achieved through a series of mergers and acquisitions, and financed by a mix of own and borrowed funds, including additional issues of shares.

The Board does not plan to dispose of the Group's existing assets in Ukraine. On the contrary, the focus of the new strategy is to expand and invest, thereby reducing the potential risks of investing only in Ukraine and mitigating the negative effects on the Group's business of the current macroeconomic situation in Ukraine.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

All significant events that occurred after the end of the reporting period are described in Note 15 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
