- Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20% in 2023 from 19% in 2022;
- Net profit for the period amounted to RUB 48,706 million (US$ 571 million), an increase of RUB 41,920 million (+618%);
- Net debt position3 as of 31 December 2023 amounted to RUB 66,476 million (US$ 741 million);
- Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA (LTM4) as of 31 December 2023 was 1.18x.
Commenting on the results, Timur Lipatov, CEO of Rusagro, said:
"In 2023 Rusagro has demonstrated record financial results in terms of revenue, adjusted EBITDA and net profit. Revenue increased by 15%, adjusted EBITDA has grown by 126%, net profit amounted to RUB 48.7 billion and net debt decreased by 33%.
Revenue of all business segments, except Oil and Fat, increased in 2023 with the most significant contribution of Agricultural segment, where higher volumes were sold, and Sugar segment, where both sales volumes and prices increased. Oil and Fat segment's revenue decreased due to the fall of world prices for oil and fat products as well as lower production volumes caused by the suspension of the oil extraction plant in Balakovo for modernization, which was completed in August 2023 and led to the increase in the production capacity by 30%.
The acquisition of NMGK business brings Rusagro significant synergies, which also are reflected in the Group's financial results.
Rusagro Group's adjusted EBITDA in 2023 improved across all business segments, except Oil and Fat, mostly attributable to increased sales volumes supported by higher prices following the USD to RUB exchange rate while costs growth was contained on the Group level.
Net profit of the Group increased due to higher Adjusted EBITDA, positive exchange rate dynamics and the consolidation of the financial results of NMGK."

Cost of sales decreased by 17% in 4Q 2023 compared to the respective period of 2022 due to lower sales volumes. In 12M 2023 compared to the respective period of 2022 Cost of sales decreased by 3% following the lower sales volumes.
Net loss on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in 4Q 2023 resulted from the decrease in fair value of consumable livestock pigs while costs for consumable livestock pigs remained stable. Net gain on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce in 12M 2023 resulted from the increase in fair value and at the same time the decrease in costs for consumable livestock pigs during the reporting period compared to the respective figures at the beginning of 2023.
Other operating expenses in 4Q 2023 and 12M 2023 showed negative dynamics mainly due to additional costs caused by the outbreak of African swine fever and one-off gain for the reversal of provision for legal claims and government grants for part of the cost of livestock feed in 2022.

In 12M 2023 Agriculture segment earned RUB 16,961 million of adjusted EBITDA (+74%
y-o-y) with 30% margin (-1 pp y-o-y).
In 4Q 2023 in comparison to 4Q 2022 Sales of the Agriculture segment increased by 123% to RUB 33,130 million mainly due to higher sales volumes of sugar beet and soybean.
In 2023 compared to 2022 Sales of Agriculture segment increased by 78% to RUB 56,919 million mainly due to higher sales volumes of all crops and the increase in sugar beet price, compensated by the decrease in soybean, wheat and sunflower prices.
Increase in sales volumes of sugar beet in 4Q 2023 and 12M 2023 is attributable to higher yields and larger area of cultivation as well as the shift of harvesting in 2022 to 2023. Sugar beet sales prices increased following the sugar prices dynamics.
Increase in sales volumes of soybean in 4Q 2023 and 12M 2023 is mainly caused by the shift in harvesting from 2022 to 2023 due to bad weather conditions, as well as increased yields in 2023. The growth of sunflower sales volumes is also attributable to the shift of harvesting in 2022.
Increase in sales of wheat in 12M 2023 was caused by sales of carryover stocks from previous year.
Sales prices for wheat decreased due to the fall in global wheat prices because of high grain stocks. Prices decrease for oil crops is attributed to the quality of harvest following adverse weather conditions during the prolonged harvesting period.

The main reason for the increase in Cost of sales and Distribution and selling expenses is the growth of volumes of goods sold.
Reimbursement of operating costs (government grants) was received in higher amount in 12M 2023 as the Company received subsidies for grain crops sales, support of elite seed and ameliorants usage.
Change in Other operating income except government grants in 12M 2023 in comparison to the same period of 2022 is mainly due to the one-off gain from sale of fixed assets in 1Q 2022.
Net gain/(loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce depends on revaluation amounts in opening and closing inventory balances. As agricultural produce matures and at the point of harvest, a gain on revaluation of agricultural produce to fair value less costs to sell is recognized. During subsequent sale, a loss from the revaluation of agricultural products sold in the reporting period is recognized in the amount of the previously recognized gain.
Net loss in 4Q 2023 and 4Q 2022 resulted from the realization of gain on revaluation of agricultural produce to fair value less costs to sell recognized in 3Q 2023 and 3Q 2022, correspondingly. In 4Q 2023 the loss from gain realization is higher compared to 4Q 2022 following the increase in sales volumes. Net loss in 12M 2023 is lower than net loss in 12M 2022 because opening balance of revaluation was higher at the beginning of 2022 than at the beginning of 2023.
Net gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce and its subsequent realisation do not affect the Adjusted EBITDA figure.
OIL AND FAT SEGMENT
In 12M 2023 Oil and Fat segment earned RUB 13,492 million of adjusted EBITDA (-15 %
y-o-y) with 12% margin (without changes compared to the previous year).
The financial results of the Oil and Fat Segment for 12M 2023 and 4Q 2023 compared to 12M 2022 and 4Q 2022 respectively are presented below.

In 4Q 2023 Sales of Oil and Fat segment increased in comparison to 4Q 2022 mainly because of the increase in sales volumes of bulk oil after the completion of modernization of oil extraction plant in Balakovo, which led to growth in production capacity and production volumes. Also Sales increased following higher oil prices supported by the growth USD to RUB exchange rate.
In 2023 Sales of the Oil and Fat segment decreased compared to 2022 (by 18% to RUB 108 746 million) mainly because of the decrease of world prices for oil and fat products and of bulk oil and meal sales volumes, which was partially compensated by the increase in sales volumes of industrial fats.
Decrease in sales volumes of bulk oil and meal was caused by difficulties with the vessels shipment caused by ice situation in Astrakhan in January and February 2023 and the suspension of Balakovo oil extraction plant for modernization from 23 May 2023 till 28 August 2023.

The growth of Cost of sales in 4Q 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year is due to the increase in sales volumes as well as the growth of palm oil prices following the dynamics of USD to RUB exchange rate.
The decrease of Cost of sales in 2023 is caused by the decline in sales volumes of oil and fat products. Cost of sales decreased more than Sales mainly due to reduction of prices for sunflower seeds.
The growth of General and administrative expenses in 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year is mainly attributable to higher costs of information and consulting services.
The decrease of Other operating expenses is due to lower charity expenses and positive exchange dynamics in 12M 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, which was partially compensated by accrual of provision for bad debts.

Net debt decreased at 31 December 2023 compared at 31 December 2022 by 33%.
In 12M 2023 Rusagro continued to enjoy benefits from the state agriculture subsidies programme. Rusagro continued to receive bank loans with decreased preferential interest rates under the programme of government support. Under this programme, the government provides subsidies to the banks to compensate the loss of income on borrowings with decreased interest rates, given by the banks to agricultural producers. In 12M 2023 IFRS accounts these borrowings are accounted according to its face value with no adjustments to prevailing market rates. The differences between nominal and market interest rate is recognized as either government grants in a statement of financial position for borrowings received with the purpose to finance investment projects or interest expenses in a statement of comprehensive income for general purpose borrowings.
Net finance expense of 12M 2022 in the sum of RUB 10,654 million changed to net finance income in the amount of RUB 8,940 million as the result of positive dynamics in forex differences.
________________________________
(1) The exchange rates used for translation of RUB 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) net gain/ (loss) on revaluation of biological assets and agricultural produce, (iii) non-recurring components of other operating income/ (expenses), net, (iv) share-based remuneration, (v) provision for impairment of loans issued (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) Rusagro 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.

ROS AGRO PLC (LSE, MOEX: AGRO) - a holding company of Rusagro Group, a leading Russian diversified food producer with vertically integrated operations in the following branches:
Agricultural:
Rusagro currently controls one of the largest land banks among Russian agriculture producers, with 685 thousand hectares of land under control located in the highly fertile Black Earth regions of Russia (in the Belgorod, Tambov, Voronezh, Kursk, Saratov, Tula and Orel regions) and in the Far East Primorye Region. Land and production sites are strategically located within the same regions to optimize efficiency and minimize logistical costs. Rusagro is one of the major sugar beet producers in Russia, but it also produces wheat, barley and corn, sunflower seeds and soybeans. These products are partially consumed by the Sugar, Meat and Oil and Fat segments, supporting a synergistic effect and lowering price change risk.

Rusagro also produces dry industrial mixes, cheeses, butter and cream sold under three brands: Milie, Syrnaya Kultura and Ya Lublu Gotovit. Rusagro owns four crushing and two oil & fats plants and leases two milk processing plants. Owning its sunflower and soy oil production allows Rusagro to control the source of the sunflower and soybean oil required to produce oil and fats products.
Rusagro finalized the acquisition of 50% of NMGK Group in 2023. NMGK Group owns an oil and fat plant in Nizhny Novgorod, a fat plant in Samara, oil extraction factories in Uryupinsk and Sorochinsk, as well as elevators in the Volgograd, Orenburg, Samara, Saratov regions and the Republic of Bashkortostan.
