Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business
◦During 2Q23 we crushed 3.6 million tons of sugarcane, 9.2% higher year-over-year, driven by great agricultural productivity indicators. TRS content per hectare increased 35% compared to 2Q22, as a consequence of weather going normal and of our implementation of agricultural techniques such as pre-sprouted seedling (MPB). This allowed us to reproduce varieties better adapted to our region at a much faster pace, and reduce varietal concentration. We also profited from our flexibility to switch our industrial production and maximize the product that offers the highest marginal contribution. During 2Q23 we diverted 48% of TRS to produce sugar, in order to capture solid prices which traded on average 33% above hydrous ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul. Within our ethanol production, we produced 70% of anhydrous ethanol which commanded a 10% premium over hydrous ethanol. In terms of ethanol sales, we took advantage of our Bonsucro certification and of our installed capacity to export 15.8 thousand m3 of anhydrous ethanol to Europe (totaling 22.4 thousand during 6M23). In addition, we conducted 52% of our quarterly sales during a peak of prices in April, thus capturing prices 12% above current market. Leveraging on our storage capacity, we carried into the following quarters over 160 thousand m3 of ethanol (over 30% of our expected annual production), to profit from higher future prices. Despite an appreciation of the Brazilian Real, results were positively impacted by lower unitary cost of production (-15%) driven by higher volume crushed, and lower cost of certain agricultural inputs. All of the above, contributed to our Adjusted EBITDA, which in 2Q23 reached $116.8 million, 12.0% higher year-over-year. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $193.5 million, 19.7% higher compared to 6M22, explained by the same drivers as during the quarter.
◦Sugar prices continue to be supported by strong fundamentals, and are trading, on average, above 24 cts/lb. We are in an excellent position to profit from this scenario as we remain unhedged in 26% of our expected 2023 sugar production and 87% of 2024's production (hedged volume at 22.3 cts/lb and 23.0 cts/lb, respectively). Assuming weather going normal, we expect to increase 2023's crushing volume by 15% compared to 2022, as we have sufficient sugarcane availability to use our industrial capacity. This, in turn, would result in a reduction in unitary cash cost, due to better dilution of fixed costs. We continue to replace 100% of our potash fertilizer needs with biofertilizer produced in our own operations. We are increasing our production of biomethane from vinasse and replacing diesel consumption in part of our fleet. By doing so we are also improving our carbon footprint, while reducing costs.
Crops, Rice, Dairy & Land Transformation businesses
◦Despite La Niña weather event affecting summer crop production in almost all of the productive regions of Argentina and Uruguay, Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q23 reached $24.3 million, 21.8% higher compared to 2Q22. Positive results were driven by an outperformance of our Rice and Dairy business. Adjusted EBITDA in our Rice business was 202.6% higher compared to 2Q22, driven by higher selling volumes and higher selling prices (+160 USD/tn or 33% on better mix of higher value added products and higher global prices captured thanks to our production and commercial flexibility). In our Dairy business, despite an increase in feeding cost, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 41.3% thanks to higher productivity, and to our flexibility to shift production to fluid milk for domestic consumption, which offered a higher marginal contribution during the quarter. Results were partially offset by an
underperformance of our Crops business which broke even. Harvesting activities for 22/23 campaign have almost concluded and, as expected, presented a 30%-40% reduction in yields of our main crops, compared to the previous campaign. Margins were pressured by an increase in costs of agricultural inputs in U.S. dollars, including diesel and agrochemicals, as well as higher logistic costs, among others. During 6M23, Adjusted EBITDA for our segments in Argentina and Uruguay presented a 22.9% reduction year-over-year, mainly impacted by the reduction in crops yields caused by the record drought.
◦We have begun planting activities for our 23/24 campaign, starting with wheat and other winter crops. We expect a positive outlook for the upcoming season, as weather is shifting to moderate El Niño pattern, which should allow for an improvement in soil moisture and a recovery of water reservoirs. In addition, there have been positive developments impacting the price of some of our products. India, the world's largest rice exporter, recently announced the ban of long grain white rice exports to secure domestic supply. We expect to benefit from this event thanks to our ability to easily redirect sales to export market and to offer full product traceability. In the case of rice, soybean, corn, peanut and sunflower, the Argentine government has passed resolutions that allow for the use of a preferential FX rate.

2023 Shareholder Distribution Update
◦During the first seven months of the year, we repurchased 1.7 million shares (1.6% of the company's equity) under our existing share buyback program at an average price of $8.54 per share, totaling $14.4 million. Going forward we expect to continue repurchasing shares, in line with our commitment to return cash to our shareholders.
◦On May 24th, we paid $17.5 million in cash dividends (approximately $0.1626 per share) corresponding to the first installment of our annual cash dividend. The second installment shall be payable in or about November 2023 in an equal cash amount, resulting in an annual cash dividend of $35 million.
◦Dividend distribution and share repurchases are part of the company's distribution policy, which consists of a minimum distribution of 40% of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations (NCFO) generated during the previous year. In 2022, we generated $141.3 million of NCFO.
| ESG Update |
|---|
Led by our ESG committee and following conversations with investors and rating agencies, we defined a roadmap laying out the main priorities to strengthen our ESG communication.
◦Targets: during 2023 we will set our 2030 targets for greenhouse gas emissions and water intensity. In 2024 we will set our 2030 targets for gender diversity.
◦Commitments: we communicated our alignment to the Paris Agreement and 2050 Carbon Neutrality.
◦2022 Sustainability Report: On June 22nd, we published our third-party verified Integrated Report, prepared following the Integrated Reporting Framework, GRI and SASB standards, and showing our contribution to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda.
◦"E" highlights: (i) 40% year-over-year reduction in carbon intensity ratio (0.108 Tn of CO2e/Tn of product), including over 780,000 Tn of carbon sequestered; (ii) 87% of the company's total energy consumption is self-generated and renewable; (iii) 960+ thousand MWh of renewable energy produced in our own operations.
◦"S" highlights: (i) creation of the Diversity & Inclusion Committee with a focus on female leadership, motherhood, community and violence prevention; (ii) 20%+ increase in hours of training per employee in 2022 vs. 2021.
◦"G" highlights: (i) starting in 2023, variable compensation will be linked to two ESG indicators.
◦ESG rating agencies: we worked on improving information disclosure and communication, including the publication of policies, among others. As a result, on June 15th MSCI upgraded Adecoagro's score one notch to "AA" category.
◦Innovation: embedded in our DNA, the incorporation of technological solutions continues to be a cornerstone of our ESG strategy. We are working on identifying and analyzing projects that will enable us to reduce our carbon footprint while increasing profitability. A clear example of this, which is already up and running, is the replacement of diesel in part of our vehicle fleet in Brazil with biomethane produced in our own operations. Sustainable agriculture is profitable agriculture.

(1) Does not include 22,931 cubic meters and 53,371 cubic meters of anhydrous ethanol that were converted by dehydrating our hydrous ethanol stocks during 2Q23 and 6M23, respectively.
Normal weather conditions in Mato Grosso do Sul throughout the first six months of the year favored cane development, with good rains registered during summertime. This resulted in solid productivity indicators of our sugarcane plantation, enhancing efficiencies at every stage of the production chain as more tons were harvested per hectare, and with a higher TRS content. As a result, crushing volume during 2Q23 amounted to 3.6 million tons, 9.2% higher compared to the same period of last year. Sugarcane yields reached 78 tons per hectare, compared to 60 tons per hectare reported the previous year, while TRS content presented a 6.3% improvement, amounting to 126 kg/ton (versus 119 kg/ton in 2Q22).
Year-to-date crushing volume reached 5.1 million tons, marking a 42.1% increase compared to last year. This is explained by a significant improvement in agricultural productivity indicators, including a 30.0% year-over-year increase in yields to 76 tons per hectare, but mainly due to greater sugarcane availability, which enabled us to resume our continuous harvest model during the first quarter of 2023.
We diverted 48% of our TRS to sugar during 2Q23, in line with our strategy to maximize production of the product with the highest marginal contribution. During the quarter, sugar traded at a significant premium to both, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul, while anhydrous ethanol continued to command a premium over hydrous. Within our ethanol production 70% was anhydrous ethanol, compared to 43% in 2Q22. To further profit from the premium that anhydrous ethanol commanded over hydrous during the quarter, we dehydrated over 22 thousand cubic meters of hydrous ethanol stored in our tanks, and as much as 53 thousand cubic meters during the semester.
On a year-to-date basis, production mix stood at 48% sugar and 52% ethanol, compared to 20%-80% reported during the same period of last year. While we maximized sugar production throughout the first six months of the year to profit from the rally in global sugar prices, the opposite was observed in 6M22 as ethanol prices reached record levels in Brazil. This high degree of flexibility constitutes one of our most important competitive advantages, since it allows us to make a more efficient use of our fixed assets and profit from higher relative prices.
Exported energy during the quarter totaled 182 thousand MWh, 2.8% lower compared to 2Q22. Despite presenting a year-over-year increase in crushing volume, lower exported energy was fully explained by our commercial decision to use our bagasse as fuel in the ethanol dehydration process to produce more anhydrous ethanol, demanded both domestically and in export markets, rather than selling energy at low spot prices. Consequently, our cogeneration efficiency ratio was down 11.1% compared to the previous year.
Year-to-date, exported energy increased only 16.9% year-over-year to 241 thousand MWh, despite a 42.1% increase in crushing volume. Again, this was explained by our commercial strategy to use our bagasse for more profitable alternatives.

(5) Diesel sold by Monte Alegre Distribuidora (MAC), our own fuel distributor located in UMA mill.
Adjusted EBITDA during 2Q23 was $116.8 million, 12.0% higher year-over-year. This was explained by (i) a $14.6 million year-over-year increase in net sales and by (ii) a $13.8 million year-over-year increase in the mark-to-market of our harvested cane on higher crushing volume and slightly higher Consecana prices. Results were partially offset by a $2.6 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position driven by greater gains reported the previous year.
Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $193.5 million, presenting a 19.7% increase compared to the same period of last year. This was driven by (i) a $38.4 million year-over-year increase in net revenues;
together with (ii) a $24.5 million year-over-year increase in the mark-to-market of our harvested cane on greater volume crushed and higher Consecana prices. Results were partially offset by (i) a $6.6 million loss in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position on higher sugar prices; and by (ii) a $3.5 million increase in SG&A driven by higher freight costs due to more sales of sugar, and higher salaries on inflation.
Net sales reached $184.4 million during 2Q23 and $281.1 million during 6M23, marking an 8.6% and 15.8% increase compared to the same period of last year, respectively. In both cases, the growth was driven by higher selling volume and higher average selling prices of sugar. Results were partially offset by the year-over-year reduction in ethanol and carbon credit sales.
In the case of sugar, sales amounted to $106.8 million during 2Q23, presenting an increase of 5.3 times compared to the same period of last year. This was driven by an year-over-year increase in selling volumes of 165 thousand tons as our mix decision favored the production of sugar to capture the price premium over ethanol; coupled with a 15.0% year-over-year increase in the average selling price as we benefited from the rally in global sugar prices caused by limited global supply. Within our volume sold, 98% corresponded to VHP sugar (very high polarization), which presented a 17.9% increase in its selling price versus the prior year, reaching 23.0 cts/lb. On a year-to-date basis, sugar sales reached $154.3 million, 5.5 times higher than the previous year due to a year-over-year increase in volumes sold of 254 thousand tons, together with a 9.5% year-over-year increase in the average selling price.
Ethanol sales amounted to $61.1 million during 2Q23, down 52.6% compared to 2Q22 driven by a 43.2% reduction in selling volumes, as we reduced our ethanol production mix compared to 2Q22 and increased our carry-over stocks. Lower sales were also explained by a 16.6% decrease in the average selling price, on account of a tough year-over-year comparison. As explained in prior releases, 73% of our total volume sold during 2Q22 was concentrated in the month of April, when ethanol prices peaked to over 26 cts/lb sugar equivalent, due to the delay in the beginning of harvesting activities in Brazil. Our production mix during 2Q22 was shifted towards ethanol. However, it is worth highlighting that during April 2023 we sold 51 thousand cubic meters of ethanol to the domestic market at an average price of 21.3 cts/lb sugar equivalent (12% above the average price of the quarter), profiting from a peak in demand on account of a long weekend. These sales represented 52% of our quarterly volume sold, out of which 30 thousand cubic meters were anhydrous ethanol and the balance hydrous ethanol. This is part of our commercial strategy to always sell each product at its best possible price.
On a year-to-date basis, ethanol sales amounted to $103.5 million, marking a 44.3% year-over-year decrease driven by the drivers explained above. In the case of hydrous ethanol, we are also reducing our volume sold of this product to build inventories, which can later be dehydrated and turned into anhydrous ethanol, which commands a price premium. Depending on market opportunities, we can export our anhydrous ethanol production to Europe as we have the necessary certifications and industry capacity to meet product specifications. Within the 132 thousand cubic meters of anhydrous ethanol sold, 22.4 thousand cubic meters were exported at an average price of 20.5 cts/lb, out of which 15.8 thousand cubic meters were conducted during 2Q23 at an average price of 20.8 cts/lb.
Due to the efficiency and sustainability in our operations, ranked among the highest in the industry, we have the right to issue carbon credits (CBio) every time we sell ethanol. During the quarter, we sold $2.2 million worth of CBios, 57.9% lower than the previous year, at an average price of 98 BRL/CBio (20 $/CBio). This is explained by the lower year-over-year production and sale of ethanol, which led to a lower amount of carbon credits issued. Year-to-date, we sold 256,181 CBios, amounting to $4.5 million.
Net sales of energy reached $9.0 million during 2Q23, 6.2% lower than last year. Despite presenting a 19.7% increase in selling volumes versus the same period of last year, lower revenues for this segment were driven by a 21.6% decrease in the selling price explained by lower energy spot prices. Year-to-date, energy sales amounted to $11.5 million, 2.3% higher year-over-year driven by a 13.1% increase in selling volumes which fully offset the 9.6% decline in the average selling price.

(1)Total production cost may differ from our COGS figure as the former refers to the cost of our goods produced, whereas the latter refers to the cost of our goods sold.
Total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization reached 7.5 cts/lb in 2Q23 and 8.0 cts/lb year-to-date, marking a 15.2% and 13.5% year-over-year reduction, respectively, despite an appreciation of the Brazilian Real. This is explained by a 0.3 million and 1.5 million ton increase in crushing volume, respectively, which enabled us to better dilute our fixed costs, especially agricultural costs which represent roughly 80% of our cost structure. Although there are some items such as salaries which evolve
with inflation, other products such as diesel saw a reduction in prices. As always, we continue to use concentrated vinasse and filter cake to replace 100% of our potash fertilizer requirements and 48% of total agricultural inputs needs, reducing our sourcing needs.

This is explained by an improvement in the productivity outlook of our sugarcane plantation, driven by better yields and TRS content, coupled with higher expected prices, mostly from sugar.

(1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 25 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to Profit/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $24.3 million in 2Q23, marking a 21.8% increase compared to the same period of last year. Adjusted EBITDA in our Rice business expanded $9.8 million year-over-year driven by higher selling volume coupled with a $160/Tn increase in average selling prices. Besides, our Dairy business reported an Adjusted EBITDA growth of 41.2% versus the previous year on account of higher average selling prices, as we produced more fluid milk for the domestic market, which offered the highest marginal contribution. Results were partially offset by the lower performance of our Crops business, as expected, due to (i) lower yields as a consequence of La Niña weather event; (ii) higher costs due to a global inflationary environment; and (iii) lower sales. Our Land Transformation segment reported an Adjusted EBITDA reduction of $2.6 million compared to 2Q22 due to (i) lower soybean prices, (ii) an appreciation of the Brazilian real throughout the quarter; and (iii) less installments to be collected.
On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $42.9 million, 22.9% lower than the previous year. Despite greater results reported in both our Rice and Dairy businesses, this was fully offset by an underperformance of our Crops business due to a record drought caused by La Niña weather, which affected yields, coupled with higher costs.

In 2Q23, gross sales amounted to $74.3 million, marking a 19.4% year-over-year reduction driven by a 39.1% decrease in selling volumes and a mixed performance in prices. As we anticipated, our Crops segment experienced a significant decline in yields driven by the extreme drought caused by effect of La Niña in Argentina and Uruguay. Although this was a regional weather event, international prices remained mostly unchanged due to higher production in Brazil and the Northern hemisphere. However, we were able to profit from opportunities that arose in Argentina's local market. For example, the Argentine government implemented a new version of the "soybean dollar", and also extended it to other agricultural products, such as peanut and sunflower. Under this new regime, a preferential exchange rate was granted to convert proceeds from the sale of these products to local currency at $300 ARS/USD, rather than at the official exchange rate which at the time was $220 ARS/USD. We conducted sales of our products to profit from this measure. It is worth pointing out, that in July the government updated the preferential FX rate and included corn as part of the products favored by the measure.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter stood at $313 thousand, marking a 94.7% reduction compared to the same period of last year. In addition to the decrease in net sales, lower results were driven by a (i) $5.7 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological assets and net realizable value of our
agricultural produce after harvest, explained by the reduction in yields, coupled with higher costs and lower planted area versus the previous campaign; together with (ii) a $7.4 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position due to greater gains reported in the previous period.
On a year-to-date basis, gross sales were $107.5 million, 18.3% down compared to the same period of last year, fully explained by a 36.7% reduction in selling volumes, whereas Adjusted EBITDA stood at $509 thousand, marking a 97.9% year-over-year reduction. Lower Adjusted EBITDA generation for the first semester is mostly explained by a $35.9 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological assets and net realizable value of our agricultural produce after harvest as a result of La Niña weather event. Results were partially offset by a $3.4 million year-over-year gain in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position.

Gross sales amounted to $80.2 million in 2Q23, marking a 73.3% increase compared to 2Q22, while year-to-date it reached $135.4 million, 69.4% higher versus the same period of last year. In both cases this was driven by an increase in selling volumes (40.3% and 41.4% higher respectively), coupled with higher average selling prices, which stood at $649/ton and $613/ton, respectively. Our average selling price has been increasing due to a better mix of higher added value products and higher global prices as a consequence of (i) stronger demand and (ii) adverse weather conditions in key producing countries, such as India and China. In 2Q23 the Argentine government included rice and other regional products, in the agri dollar price scheme, enabling us to use a preferential exchange rate to convert to local currency the earnings derived from the sale of these products. Consequently, our rice exports benefited from an exchange rate of $300 ARS/USD, instead of the official exchange rate of $220 ARS/USD (the preferential FX rate was recently updated). We expect to continue to capitalize from these higher prices in the short to mid term, especially since India (the world's largest rice exporter) recently banned long grain rice exports to secure domestic supply, consequently impacting international rice prices.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $14.7 million in 2Q23 and $27.4 million in 6M23, $9.8 million and $14.3 million higher than last year. This increase is fully explained by the aforementioned increase in gross sales, which fully offset the lower results reported at the operational level. The decrease in yields versus the prior campaign due to the impact of La Niña weather event in some of our rice farms contributed to a $5.8 million and $7.8 million year-over-year loss in our biological asset and agricultural produce during 2Q23 and 6M23, respectively. Moreover, we registered (i) higher costs in U.S. dollar terms due to a genuine increase in agricultural inputs and salaries; and (ii) higher selling expenses due to the increase in volumes sold.

(1) Includes sales of raw milk, processed dairy products, electricity and culled cows; (2) Includes sales of raw milk, fluid milk, powder milk and cheese, among others; (3) The difference between volume processed and volume sold is explained by the sale of raw milk to third parties.
In 2Q23, milk production at the farm level was 49.9 million liters, 9.7% higher compared to the same period of last year. This is explained by a 9.3% increase in productivity which reached 37.7 liters per cow per day. On a year-to-date basis, total milk production amounted to 96.6 million liters, marking a 6.7% year-over-year increase compared to 6M22, driven by a 6.0% increase in cow productivity, while our dairy cow herd remained in line with last year as we hit full capacity in our four free-stalls.
At the industry level, we processed 81.9 million liters of raw milk during 2Q23, 4.6% lower than last year. Out of this volume, approximately 41% came from our dairy farm operations whereas the balance was sourced from local producers in nearby areas or supplied by partners to whom we provide tolling services. During the semester, total processed milk amounted to 158.9 million liters of raw milk, 9.8% lower than the previous year. We continue working on product developments to cater both to the domestic and export market.
Adjusted EBITDA was $10.2 million in 2Q23, 41.2% higher compared to 2Q22, whereas during 6M23 it amounted to $16.3 million, marking a 14.7% year-over-year increase. Results were positively impacted by (i) an increase in sales due to higher average selling prices, as we increased the mix of higher value added products and produced more fluid milk for the domestic market which offered the highest marginal contribution during these periods; (ii) our continuous focus on achieving efficiencies in our vertically integrated operations and increasing our productivity levels in every stage of the value chain; and (iii) our flexibility to divert milk to the production of a variety of dairy products, as well as to shift sales across markets. Results were partially offset by higher costs, including cost of feed, mostly corn silage, due to lower in-house production on account of La Niña weather event.
Adjusted EBIT was $7.5 million and $11.0 million during 2Q23 and 6M23, respectively. However, once interest expense and the foreign exchange loss related to the financial debt are considered, the year-to-date results decrease to negative $47.5 million.

Although no farm sales were conducted during 2Q23 nor during 2Q22, Adjusted EBITDA for our Land Transformation business amounted to negative $0.5 million and positive $2.0 million, respectively. The $2.6 million year-over-year reduction reflects a loss in the mark-to-market of an account receivable corresponding to the latest sale of farms in Brazil, which tracks the evolution of soybean prices. This is explained by lower soybean prices coupled with a reduction in the number of installments to be collected, and an appreciation of the Brazilian currency during 2Q23. These same drivers explain the $4.7 million year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during 6M23 compared to 6M22.
From an accounting perspective, these figures are captured in Other Operating Income line of the Land Transformation segment.

Adecoagro’s corporate expenses include items that are not allocated to a specific business segment, such as the remuneration of executive officers and headquarters staff, certain professional services, office lease expenses, among others. As shown in the table above, corporate expenses for 2Q23 were $4.8 million, presenting a 19.4% reduction compared to 2Q22, while year-to-date corporate expenses amounted to $10.9 million, 12.1% down compared to the same period of last year. Despite experiencing an impact in costs from inflation in U.S. dollar terms, the year-over-year reduction is explained by an action plan set by the company which aims to reduce expenses and generate savings, among other initiatives.
| Net Income & Adjusted Net Income |
|---|
Net Income amounted to $46.1 million during 2Q23, marking a $28.0 million increase compared to the same period of last year. This was due to the variation of foreign exchange rate, which presented a year-over-year gain of $51.5 million, explained by a nominal appreciation of the Brazilian Real of 5.1% during 2Q23 compared to a depreciation of 10.6% during 2Q22. On the other hand, the Argentine peso reported a faster depreciation from 12.8% in 2Q22 to 22.8% in 2Q23. This was partially offset by income tax expenses of $21.9 million versus gains of $10.5 million in the previous period.
Year-to-date, net income was $69.1 million, 17.0% lower than the same period of last year. This is mostly explained by an increase in tax expenses ($38.1 million in 6M23 versus $19 million in 6M22), coupled with the effect of inflation accounting (higher exposure of our negative net monetary position to an inflation rate of 50.8% in 6M23 compared to 36.2% in 6M22). It is worth highlighting that inflation results, as well as foreign exchange rate results, are both non-cash in nature.
Adjusted Net Income reached $42.4 million during 2Q23, $1.6 million lower than in 2Q22, whereas year-to-date it stood at $81.3 million, marking a 38.4% year-over-year increase. We believe Adjusted Net Income is a more appropriate metric to reflect the Company's performance.

As of June 30, 2023, Adecoagro's net debt amounted to $852.4 million, 2.7% higher compared to the previous quarter. Despite reporting a 54.6% quarter-over-quarter increase in our cash position (Cash & Equivalents + Short-term investments), the increase in net debt is fully explained by a 10.8% increase in our gross debt. From a seasonality point of view, the first semester of the year is where most of the costs are incurred as we undergo planting and harvesting activities. In other words, it has the highest working capital requirements. On the other hand, cash generation is concentrated towards the second semester as we collect the proceeds from the sales of our products.
On a year-over-year basis, net debt was 2.7% higher compared to the same period of last year. This was mainly driven by (i) an increase in working capital related to advances and payments of biological assets to strengthen and secure our balance sheet position for the next harvest season, and (ii) an 8.0% appreciation of the Brazilian Real versus June 2022, which impacts our debt denominated in that currency. As of June 30, 2023, our Liquidity ratio (Cash & Equivalents + Marketable Inventories / Short Term Debt) reached 1.27x, showing the Company's full capacity to repay short term debt with its cash balances.
Our Net Debt ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) as of 2Q23 was 1.9x, in line with the previous quarter and with 2Q22. We believe that our balance sheet is in a healthy position based not only on the adequate overall debt levels but also on the terms of our indebtedness, most of which is long-term debt.

Adecoagro's capital expenditures were $57.8 million in 2Q23, 12.9% higher compared to last year, while in 6M23 it amounted to $142.5 million, marking a 8.4% year-over-year increase.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 97% or $56.1 million of total capex in 2Q23, marking a 33.4% increase compared to the same period of last year. Maintenance capex amounted to $41.2 million, 19.9% higher than the previous year, driven by a 23.4% increase in renewal planting, due to higher costs related to soil preparation, coupled with a 12.2% increase in Industrial & Agricultural Machinery. Expansion capex, in turn, increased 94.2% compared to the previous year, reaching $14.9 million. Investments on this front were related to (i) expansion planting as we continue to expand our sugarcane plantation area; as well as to (ii) small projects including the construction of our second biodigestor in order to increase our biogas production, which later is converted into biomethane and is used to replace our diesel consumption. Year-to-date, capital expenditures amounted to $129.1 million, 19.3% higher compared to the same period of last year.
Farming & Land Transformation businesses accounted for 3%, or $1.7 million of total capex in 2Q23, presenting a year-over-year decrease of 81.1%. Expansion capex amounted to $1.7 million and was focused on the construction of our second biodigestor in our Dairy business (to generate renewable energy from cow manure), coupled with the upgrade of our cheese factory to enhance our product portfolio offering. On the other hand, no investments on maintenance were conducted throughout this quarter in our Farming division. Year-to-date, capital expenditures amounted to $13.5 million, 42.2% lower compared to the same period of last year due to lower maintenance capex requirements.
| 2Q23 Market Highlights |
|---|
◦Sugar prices traded within a range of 22.07 cts/lb and 26.99 cts/lb during 2Q23. Prices in U.S. dollars were, on average 21% higher than in 1Q23 and 33% higher than in 2Q22, according to ICE futures (Sugar #11). This increase was driven by (i) potential weather risks; (ii) limited global supply; and (iii) lower global stocks of sugar. Brazil's Center-South region is currently undergoing an exceptional harvest, compensating the production shortfall faced by other countries. Despite a higher production forecasted in Brazil, the next crop season in India, Thailand and China has been revised downwards keeping prices sustained well above last year's levels. Regarding weather patterns, El Niño weather event has been confirmed, but so far, there has been no significant disruption. Nevertheless, weather conditions in various regions are being closely monitored and it can pose a potential risk on future production and consequently on sugar's supply & demand balance.
◦According to ESALQ index, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol prices decreased on average 18% and 15% year-over-year, whereas both increased 8% and 11% compared to the previous quarter, respectively. As reported by UNICA (Brazil's sugarcane association), total ethanol sales in 2Q23 were 7% higher compared to the previous quarter, while accumulated exports were 24% lower compared to the same period of last year. According to the accumulated data from ANP (National Petroleum Agency), hydrous consumption year-to-date is slightly lower than during the same period of last year. On the other hand, the consumption of anhydrous is higher, mainly due to gasoline C's larger market share in the Otto Cycle. However, the pump ratio is now favoring hydrous ethanol over gasoline, after months of uncompetitive hydrous price. Consequently, total ethanol consumption is expected to grow due to attractive price levels and a strong Otto Cycle demand.
◦Brazil's carbon credit market under the RenovaBio program presented a 21% increase in prices in 2Q23 versus the previous quarter, reaching an average price of 114 BRL/CBio (approximately 24 USD/CBio). During April, May and June 2023, average prices stood at approximately 100, 136 and 135 BRL/CBio, respectively (approximately 21 USD/CBio in April and 28 USD/CBio in May and June).
◦In 2Q23, energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil were 24% higher than during 2Q22 driven by the readjustment of the regulatory minimum price. During April, May and June, energy prices were on average 69.0 BRL/MWh. Despite the increase in the PLD (Preço de Liquidação das Diferenças or settlement price for differences), prices continued to be impacted by the level of water in the southeast reservoirs (85%), 22% higher compared to last year. In June, consumption showed a 2% year-over-year increase, according to CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber).
◦During 2Q23, soybean traded 6% higher at CBOT compared to 1Q23, while corn traded 17% lower. In the case of soybean, the increase in price was driven by (i) a potential drought in USA, which could reduce the production of soybean, as well as corn; together with (ii) a shift in planted area from soybean to corn. On the other hand, the decline in corn prices was explained by (i) a lower demand from China due to slower economic growth; (ii) product flow coming from the Black Sea at low prices; and (iii) the weather forecast calling for "El Niño" in the second semester in South America. Support to prices could derive from (i) a stable macro scenario and (ii) lower inflation. During 2Q23 funds maintained a long position on soybean and soybean meal and short position on corn and soybean oil. Prices at the local market traded 8% lower in the case of soybean and 19% for corn, compared to 1Q23. This was driven by (i) political and economic uncertainty; and (ii) government interventions in the market.

As of beginning of August 2023, we harvested 257,467 hectares, or 95.9% of total area, and produced 805,429 tons of aggregate grains. The remaining hectares are expected to be fully harvested during the rest of the month. As anticipated, yields for most of our summer crops presented a significant decline compared to the previous campaign due to the extreme drought that Argentina and Uruguay experienced as a consequence of the third year-in-a row of La Niña weather event.
Soybean 1st crop: As of the end of July, we concluded the harvest of 51,846 hectares of soybean, obtaining an average yield of 1.8 Tn/Ha, 40.2% lower than the previous campaign. Although we increased the amount of hectares planted since soybean is a crop more resilient to drier weather, as well as having its yield definition stage much later than other summer crops, it is a known fact that Argentina and Uruguay had gone through the worst drought in the last 100 years driven by a third consecutive year of La Niña weather. Consequently, yields were negatively impacted due to below average rainfalls and high temperatures experienced throughout its definition stage.
Corn: We are still undergoing harvesting activities for our late corn, whereas we almost completed harvesting activities corresponding to our early corn production. Yields for both crops were negatively affected by the extreme dry weather, despite developing at different times of the year. Precipitations
received over the past weeks, only enabled yields to remain at current levels as they were already defined. It is worth highlighting that corn has been recently included within the regime of "agri dollar", which offers a greater exchange rate to farmers than the official rate when executing export sales.
Peanut: We concluded harvesting activities for peanut, reaching a yield of 2.0 ton/ha, 31.1% lower than the prior campaign. Although this crop was concentrated in regions were good rainfalls were registered during its planting activity, the effects of La Niña throughout summertime limited its positive outlook. High temperatures, coupled with low precipitations impacted crop development, resulting in a year-over-year decline in yields. However, we partially mitigated the negative operational results by booking higher selling prices, as peanut is one of the regional products included under the "agri dollar" regime.
Sunflower: As of end of July, we completed the harvest of our sunflower production, obtaining a yield of 1.8 ton/ha, higher than the prior campaign. The increase in yields was due to the fact that sunflower is more resilient to dry weather, as well as high temperatures, than other summer crops, such as corn.
Winter Crops: We concluded planting activities for our winter crops, with a total planted area of over 22,000 hectares. These hectares are concentrated in key regions with good humidity profile. In the Northern region of Argentina, however, soil humidity was not enough to plant wheat. Therefore, this area will be later on planted with a summer crop.

| Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures |
|---|
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures in this press release:
•Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted EBIT
•Adjusted EBITDA margin
•Net Debt
•Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted Net Income
In this section, we provide an explanation and a reconciliation of each of our non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our IFRS financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, such as depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value and the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions and exchange differences generated by the net liability monetary position in USD in the countries where the functional currency is the local currency, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITDA for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results and bargain purchase gain on acquisition (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We define “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” for each of our operating segments as (i) the segment’s share of consolidated profit (loss) from operations per segment information for the year, as applicable, before depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets and bargain purchase gain on acquisition, (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item “Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings, which is reflected in shareholder equity under the line item “Reverse of revaluation surplus derived from disposals of assets;” and (iii) net of the combined effect resulting from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to our Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are important measures of operating performance for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, respectively, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), bargain purchase gain, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also evaluate and compare the full value and returns
generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment’s profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our company’s operating performance, and of each of our operating segments, respectively. We also believe Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are useful for securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate and compare the financial performance of our company and other companies in the agricultural industry. These non-IFRS measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in either our statements of income or segment information.
Our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITs for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBIT” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, foreign exchange gains or losses and other net financial results; (ii) adjusted by gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset farmland; (iii) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; (iv) net gain/loss from fair value adjustments of investment property land; (v) bargain purchase gain on acquisition and (vi) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations included in profit from operations. We define “Adjusted Segment EBIT” for each of our operating segments as the segment’s share of (i) consolidated profit (loss) from operations before financing and taxation as per segment information for the year, as applicable; and (ii) net gain/loss from fair value adjustments of investment property land; (iii) bargain purchase gain on acquisition; and (iv) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries”; (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are important measures of operating performance, for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, from period to period by including the impact of depreciable fixed assets and removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), tax consequences (income taxes), foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland and also the sale of farmlands, investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment’s profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT should only be used as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our company, and of each of our operating segments, respectively.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT starts on page 28.
Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of non-current and current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and restricted short-term investments (namely US-Treasury Bills use as collateral of short-term borrowings). This measure is widely used by management. Management is consistently tracking our leverage position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA.
We believe that the ratio net debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to capital markets and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations.

Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Net Income as (i) profit / (loss) of the period/year before net gain / (losses) from fair value adjustments of investment property land and bargain purchase gain on acquisition; plus (ii) any non-cash finance costs resulting from foreign exchange gain/losses for such period, which are composed by both exchange differences and cash flow hedge transfer from equity, included in Financial Results, net, in our statement of income; net of the related income tax effects, plus (iii) gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, which are reflected in our shareholders’ equity under the line item “Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” if any, plus (iv) the reversal of the aforementioned income tax effect, plus (v) inflation accounting effect; plus (vi) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings, if any.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of performance for our company allowing investors to properly assess the impact of the results of our operations in our equity. In fact, results arising from the revaluation effect of our net monetary position held in foreign currency in the countries where our functional currency is the local currency do not affect the equity of the Company, when measured in foreign / reporting currency. Conversely, the tax effect resulting from the aforementioned revaluation effect does impact the equity of the Company, since it reduces/increases the income tax to be paid in each country. Accordingly we have added back the income tax effect to Adjusted Net Income.
In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also include the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently, and therefore our Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss). This non-IFRS measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our financial statements.

Farming is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Adecoagro is a public company listed in the New York Stock Exchange as a foreign registered company under the symbol of AGRO.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on August 15, 2023.
2. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The Group is exposed to several risks arising from financial instruments including price risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. A thorough explanation of the Group´s risks and the Group´s approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks is included in Note 2 to the annual financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Group's exposure and risk management principles and processes since December 31, 2022 and refers readers to the annual financial statements for information.
However, the Group considers that the following tables below provide useful information to understand the Group´s interim results for the six month period ended June 30, 2023. These disclosures do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
Argentina status:
Since the second half of 2019, the Argentine government instituted certain foreign currency exchange controls, which may restrict or partially restrict access to foreign currency, like the U.S. dollars, to make payments abroad, either for foreign debt or the importation of goods or services, dividend payments and others, without prior authorization. Other restrictions also comprise the deferral of payment of certain public debt instruments and fuel price controls. Those regulations have continued to evolve, sometimes making them more or less stringent depending on the Argentine government’s perception of availability of sufficient national foreign currency reserves. The above has led to the existence of an informal foreign currency market where foreign currencies quote at levels significantly higher than the official exchange rate. However, the only exchange rate available for external commerce is the official exchange rate, which as of June 30, 2023 was Pesos 268 per dollar.

The Group’s analysis shown on the tables below is carried out based on the exposure of each functional currency subsidiary against the US dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies for the period ended June 30, 2023 would have decreased the Group’s Profit before income tax for the period. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement.
A portion of this effect would be recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company’s borrowings was used as cash flow hedge of the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in US dollars (see Hedge Accounting - Cash Flow Hedge below for details).

Hedge Accounting - Cash flow hedge
The Group formally documents and designates cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, as needed.
Generally, the principal amounts of long-term borrowings (non-derivative financial instruments) and notional values of foreign currency forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) are designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are exposed to foreign currency risks, mainly Brazilian Reais/ U.S. Dollar related to operations in Brazil and Argentine Peso/U.S. Dollar in Argentina related to operations in Argentina. As of June 2023 and 2022, approximately 10% of projected sales within those countries qualify as highly probable forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes and are designated as hedged items
The Group prepares formal documentation to support hedge designation, including an explanation of how the designation of the hedging relationship is aligned with the Group’s Risk Management Policy, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged transactions, the nature of the risk being hedged and an analysis which demonstrates that the hedge is

expected to be highly effective. The Group reassesses the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis comparing the foreign currency component of the carrying amount of the hedging instruments and of the highly probable future sales.
Under cash flow hedge accounting, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments are not immediately recognized in profit or loss but are reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the periods when the future sales occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting the strategy in the Group’s Risk Management Policy.
The Group expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2023 and 2024.
For the period ended June 30, 2023, a loss before income tax of US$ 7,313 was recognized in other comprehensive income (US$7,042 in the six month ended June 30, 2022) and a loss of US$ 35,735 (US$ 26,629 in the six month ended June 30, 2022) was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.
•Interest rate risk
The following table shows a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary issuing the loans at June 30, 2023 (all amounts are shown in US dollars):

▪Other derivative financial instruments
Floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps
In April 2022 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Usina Monte Alegre entered into a R$ 20 million loan with Itaú BBA. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 13,23% p.a. At the same moment and with the same bank, the Company entered into a swap operation, with the intention to effectively convert the fixed interest rate into a variable interest rate denominated in CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais), plus a fixed rate of 1,29% a.a. The swap matures according to the due date of the loan, in March 24, 2024 and resulted in a recognition of a gain of US$ 10 thousand in 2023.
In December 2020 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into a interest rate swap operation with Itaú BBA in an aggregate amount of US$ 400 million. In these operation Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema receives IPCA (Extended National Consumer Price Index) plus 4,24% per year, and pays CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais) plus 1,85% per year. This swap expires semiannually until December 2026. This contract resulted in a recognition of a gain of US$ 5.4 million in the three month ended June 30, 2023 (gain of US$ 4.8 thousand in the six month ended June 30,2022).
▪Currency forward
During the period ended on June 30, 2023, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with Brazilian banks, in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. Dollar, for a total aggregate amount of US$ 5 million. It resulted in the recognition of a loss amounting to US$ 0.20 million in the six month ended June 30, 2023. The currency forward contracts maturity date is between July and November 2023.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
Also, during the six month ended June 30, 2023 the Group entered into several currency forward contracts to hedge the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro for a total notional amount of US$ 0.27 million. The currency forward contracts maturity date is September 2023. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a non-significant loss in the six-month ended June 30, 2023.
Gain and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.
3. Segment information
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the ‘management approach’. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s CODM is the Management Committee. IFRS 8 stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group’s internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker.
The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.
•The ‘Farming’ is further comprised of three reportable segments:
•‘Crops’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning and handling and drying services to third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Group’s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
•‘Rice’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice.
•‘Dairy’ Segment which consists of the production and sale of raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
•All Other Segments’ which consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure, namely, Coffee and Cattle.
•‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment which consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and then marketed;
•‘Land Transformation’ Segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).
Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.
Effective July 1, 2018, the Group applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”) to its operations in Argentina. IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of

3. Segment information (continued)
entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted for the effects of changes in the general price index and be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period (“inflation accounting”). In order to determine whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary, IAS 29 sets forth a series of factors to be considered, including whether the amount of cumulative inflation nears or exceeds a threshold of 100 % accumulated in three years. Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29. According to IAS 29, all Argentine Peso-denominated non-monetary items in the statement of financial position are adjusted by applying a general price index from the date they were initially recognized to the end of the reporting period. Likewise, all Argentine Peso-denominated items in the statement of income should be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, income statement items are adjusted by applying a general price index on a monthly basis from the dates they were initially recognized in the financial statements to the end of the reporting period. This process is called “re-measurement”.
Once the re-measurement process is completed, all Argentine Peso denominated accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars, the Group’s reporting currency, applying the guidelines in IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”(“IAS 21”). IAS 21 requires that amounts be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This process is called “translation”.
The re-measurement and translation processes are applied on a monthly basis until year-end. Due to these processes, the re-measured and translated results of operations for a given month are subject to change until year-end, affecting comparison and analysis.
Following the adoption of IAS 29 to the Argentine operations of the Group, management changed the information reviewed by the CODM. Accordingly, as from July 1, 2018, (commencement of hyper-inflation accounting in Argentina), the information provided to the CODM departs from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 re-measurement and translation processes as follows. For segment reporting purposes, the segment results of the Argentine operations for each reporting period were adjusted for inflation and translated into the Group’s reporting currency using the reporting period average exchange rate. The translated amounts were not subsequently re-measured and translated in accordance with the IAS 29 and IAS 21 procedures outlined above.
In order to evaluate the segment’s performance on a monthly basis, results of operations in Argentina are based on monthly data adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar each month. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted as described above under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the Group uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.
The Group’s CODM believes that the exclusion of the re-measurement and translation processes from the segment reporting structure allows for a more useful presentation and facilitates period-to-period comparison and performance analysis.
The following tables show a reconciliation of the reportable segments where the information reviewed by the CODM differs from the reportable segment information measured in accordance with IAS 29 and IAS 21 as per the Consolidated Financial Statements for all years presented. These tables do not include information for the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy reportable segment since this information is not affected by the application of IAS 29 and therefore there is no difference between the information reviewed by the CODM and the information included in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tax Inflation Adjustment in Argentina
Laws 27,430, 27,468 and 27,541 introduced several amendments to the income tax inflation adjustments provided by the Income Tax Law. According to these provisions, and effective as from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the inflation adjustment procedure set out in Title VI of the Income Tax Law shall be applicable in fiscal years in which the variation of IPC price index, accumulated in the 36 months immediately preceding the end of the relevant fiscal year, is higher than 100%. As from its effectiveness, this procedure is applicable because the variation of the IPC reached the prescribed limits.
However, Section 39 of Law No. 24,073 suspended the application of the provisions of Title VI of the Income Tax Law relating to the income tax inflation adjustment since April 1, 1992 to certain items, such as, fixed assets, inventory, and tax loss carryforwards, among others.
After the economic crisis of 2002, many taxpayers began to question the legality of the provisions suspending the income tax inflation adjustment. Also, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice issued its verdict in the “Candy” case July 3, 2009 in which it stated that particularly for fiscal year 2002 and considering the serious state of disturbance of that year, the taxpayer could demonstrate that not applying the income tax inflation adjustment resulted in confiscatory income tax rates.

10. Taxation (continued)
More recently, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice applied a similar criterion to the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 fiscal years in the cases brought by “Distribuidora Gas del Centro” (10/14/14, 06/02/15, 10/04/16 and 06/25/19), among others, enabling the application of income tax inflation adjustment for periods not affected by a severe economic crisis such as 2002.
The Company believes that the lack of application of the income tax inflation adjustment is confiscatory. Accordingly, based on the precedents and the opinion of external and internal tax advisors, the Company has adjusted all items for inflation including those suspended by Section 39 of Law 24,073 as described above. The net effect of the inflation adjustment resulted in a deferred tax asset of US$ 12.8 million.
The application of local tax laws require interpretation, and accordingly involves the application of judgement and is open to challenge by the relevant tax authorities. This gives rise to a level of uncertainty. Provisions for uncertain tax positions are established in accordance with IFRIC 23 based on an assessment of the range of likely tax outcomes in open years and reflecting the strength of technical arguments. Amounts are provided for individual tax uncertainties based on management’s assessment of whether the most likely amount or an expected amount based on a probability weighted methodology is the more appropriate predicter of amounts that the Company is ultimately expected to settle. When making this assessment, the Company utilizes specialist in-house tax knowledge and experience and takes into consideration specialist tax advice from third party advisers on specific items. The Company has not provided any amount in this case based on its belief that it has solid arguments to support its position.
The tax on the Group’s profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities as follows:

11. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
For all Farmlands with a total valuation of US$ 728 million as of June 30, 2023, the valuation was determined using sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended June 30, 2023 would have reduced the value of the Farmlands on US$ 72.8 million, which would impact, net of its tax effect on the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
Depreciation charges are included in “Cost of production of Biological Assets”, “Cost of production of manufactures products”, “General and administrative expenses”, “Selling expenses” and capitalized in “Property, plant and equipment” for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
As of June 30, 2023, borrowing costs of US$ 1,600 (June 30, 2022: US$ 1,496) were capitalized as components of the cost of acquisition or construction of qualifying assets.
Certain of the Group’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Group’s borrowings and other payables. The net book value of the pledged assets amounts to US$ 133,317 as of June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022: U$S 129,344).

For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 33.3 million as of June 30, 2023, the valuation was determined using Sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The increase /decrease in the fair value is recognized in the Statement of income under the line item "Other operating income, net". There were no changes of the valuation techniques during June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended June 30, 2023 would have reduced the value of the Investment properties on US$ 3.3 million, which would impact the line item “Net loss from fair value adjustment.”

“La Niña” weather event
“La Niña” is a weather phenomenon caused by the fluctuation of the ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific due to changes in the atmosphere, which affects the climate of several regions worldwide. When the temperature of the ocean decreases by 0.5°C below the five-quarter average, a so called “La Niña” weather pattern begins. This whether phenomenon is characterized by below average precipitations during spring and summertime in South America. We have experienced this weather pattern in Argentina and Uruguay, where most of our Farming operations are based, throughout the last three consecutive years and it has extended its effects during the beginning of 2023 and continue affecting production as of today, resulting in a severe drought in almost all productive regions in Argentina and Uruguay. Our diversification in terms of geographic footprint and crops planted (soybean, peanut, corn, wheat, sunflower, among others), acts as a natural hedge against weather risk, and enables us to adopt defensive strategies such as delaying planting activities and switching between crops which are either more resilient to dry weather or have a later development stage. However, and despite our ability to partially mitigate this effect, this year, as a consequence of the La Niña weather event, we foresee that the yields of our different crops will see a reduction ranging from 18% to 60%, depending on the crop, thus significantly affecting our results of operations.
16. Financial instruments
As of June 30, 2023, the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise crop futures and options traded on the stock market. In the case of securities, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
Derivatives not traded on the stock market allocated to Level 2 are valued using models based on observable market data. For this, the Group uses inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market, other than quoted prices. If the derivative

16. Financial instruments (continued)
financial instrument has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest-rate swaps.
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group does not have financial instruments allocated to this level for any of the periods presented.
There were no transfer between any levels during the period.
The following tables present the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:

When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for this purpose, details of which may be obtained from the following table:

The creation and release of allowance for trade receivables have been included in ‘Selling expenses’ in the statement of income. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off, when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
The other classes within other receivables do not contain impaired assets.

20. Acquisition
Acquisition of subsidiaries of Viterra Group in Argentina and Uruguay
On May 3, 2022, (the “Closing Date”) the Group, through certain subsidiaries consummated the acquisition of the rice operations in Uruguay and Argentina of the Viterra Group, comprising a 100% ownership of Molinos Libres S.A. (Argentina), Viterra Uruguay S.A. (Uruguay) and Paso Dragón S.A. (Uruguay). The transaction also included the acquisition of certain leasing agreements. All of the acquired subsidiaries form part of the Rice Business Segment.
The terms and conditions of the agreement contemplate the payment, subject to adjustments, of a purchase price of approximately US$ 17.7 million payable in three annual installments and the assumption of the existing financial debt for an amount of US$ 17.9 million. At Closing Date, the Group paid the first installments of US$ 2 million and US$ 8 million of the assumed debt.
In addition, the agreement provides for a cash contingent payment of US$ 1,215, which will be payable only if certain conditions are met.
The Company has made an allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at acquisition date. The Company has made significant assumptions and estimates in determining the purchase price, including the contingent payment and the allocation of the estimated purchase price in these consolidated financial statements.
As the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was greater than the total consideration paid, negative goodwill arises on the acquisition. The negative goodwill is recognized as “Bargain purchase gain on acquisition” in the income statement for the year end December 31, 2022 reflecting the opportunity to acquire the rice operations in Argentina and Uruguay from an outgoing market player.
The following table summarizes the purchase price:
| Purchase consideration: | |
|---|---|
| Amount paid in cash | 1,512 |
| Amounts to be paid in installments (*) | 16,242 |
| Total purchase consideration | 17,754 |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | 27,507 |
| Bargain purchase on acquisition over the total purchase consideration | 9,753 |
During the six month ended June 30, 2023, an amount of US$3.2 million of the installments was paid.
(*) Amounts to be paid in installments were discounted at present value as of the date of acquisition at a 6.5% discount rate.

20. Acquisition (continued)
The assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition are as follows:
| Cash and cash equivalents | 3,266 |
|---|---|
| Trade and other receivables | 21,068 |
| Inventories | 50,891 |
| Biological assets | 1,676 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 21,479 |
| Total Assets | 98,380 |
| Trade and other payables | (50,062) |
| Payroll and other liabilities | (961) |
| Borrowings | (17,738) |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | (1,812) |
| Provision for other liabilities | (300) |
| Total Liabilities | (70,873) |
| Fair value of Net Assets Acquired | 27,507 |
The Company used a replacement cost method or a market approach, as appropriate, to measure the fair value of property, plant and equipment.
All other net tangible assets were valued at their respective carrying amounts, as the Company believes that these amounts approximate their current fair values.
A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired, or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed, from those preliminary valuations would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding decrease in the “Bargain purchase gain”.
Acquisition-related costs of USD 193 thousands are included in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The share repurchase program does not require Adecoagro to acquire any specific number or amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, reinstated or terminated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without prior notice. The size and the timing of repurchases will depend upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.

27. Provisions for other liabilities

As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

29. Basis of preparation and presentation
The information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of June 30, 2023 and for the six-months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is unaudited and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2023, results of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In preparing these accompanying interim financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), ‘Interim financial reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations are mandatory since January 1, 2023. These standards did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
International Tax Reform – “Pillar Two”:
Pillar Two will generally apply to any entity that is a member of a multinational group (i.e., a group that contains a taxable presence in at least one jurisdiction other than the parent entity’s jurisdiction) with consolidated annual revenue of €750 million or more in at least two of the preceding four fiscal years. The annual revenue is based upon the ultimate parent entity’s consolidated financial statements.
The Group has applied the “International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12) ” issued on May 23, 2023, from fiscal year 2023. This amendment provides an exception rule that temporarily exempts the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes related to taxes arising from the taxation system on the pillar two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (hereinafter, the “Pillar Two Income Taxes”). The Group has applied the said exception rule retroactively from fiscal year 2023 and has not recognized and disclosed the deferred taxes related to the Pillar Two Income Taxes.
On July 28, 2023, Luxembourg’s government council approved a new bill aiming to implement into Luxembourg law the “Pillar Two Directive”. It is expected that the Pillar Two Directive be effective as from January 1, 2024. Management is currently assessing the jurisdictions that could give rise to additional taxation and potential impact as a result of the implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules in national laws.
Seasonality of operations
The Group’s business activities are inherently seasonal. The Group generally harvest and sell its grains (corn, soybean, rice and sunflower) between February and August, with the exception of wheat, which is harvested from December to January. Peanut is harvested from April to May, and sales are executed with higher intensity during the third quarter of the year. Cotton is a unique in that while it is typically harvested from June to August, it requires processing which takes about two to three months to complete. Sales in our Dairy business segment tend to be more stable. However, milk production is generally higher during the fourth quarter, when the weather is more suitable for production. Although our Sugar, Ethanol and Electricity cluster is currently operating under a “non-stop” or “continuous” harvest and without stopping during traditional off-season, the rest of the sector in Brazil is still primarily operating with large off-season periods from December/January to March/April. The result of large off-season periods is fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol sales and in our inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season period (i.e., January through April). As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary

as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.
30. Information related to COVID-19 pandemic
In response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent new variants of the virus (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), governments and businesses around the world have implemented a variety of restrictive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 . These measures have had a significant adverse effect on economic activities worldwide. The Company put in place several measures to preserve the safety of its employees and the communities where it operates, while maintaining its business operations running. The Company’s activities in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil were considered essential activities by the respective governments and consequently the Company was allowed to continue operating its businesses normally. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant adverse impact on the business. However, the spread of new variants of COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty as to when restrictions will be finally lifted, if additional restrictions may be initiated or reimposed, if there will be permanent changes to consumer behavior patterns, and the timing of distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines and other medical interventions globally. The Company cannot predict the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and will continue monitoring the situation until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.he Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures at its disposal to preserve human life and its operation.
