Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business
◦Adjusted EBITDA in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business reached $111.0 million in 3Q22, 19.6% or $27.1 million lower compared to the same period of last year. This was mostly driven by a reduction in crushing volume of 0.4 million tons compared to 3Q21, coupled with higher costs of inputs, diesel and salaries, among others - partially mitigated by our strategy to produce our own biofertilizer. Despite having good sugarcane availability and achieving a monthly crushing record of 1.5 million tons in July, increased precipitation registered during August and September resulted in frequent interruptions in crushing activities. However, it is important to highlight that rain favors cane development, hence the sugarcane left on the ground will be carried into the following quarters with an improved productivity outlook. This will ensure the implementation of our continuous harvest model, enabling us to crush cane year-round and maximize production of the product with the highest marginal contribution. During the quarter, the price scenario of ethanol experienced significant changes in light of regulatory measures (reduction of ICMS and zeroing of federal taxes) and of the reduction in international oil prices. Nonetheless we were able to rapidly adapt our strategy thanks to (i) our flexibility to switch our production mix and extract the highest value per ton crushed at all times; (ii) our capacity to sell ethanol into Europe and capture a premium versus domestic prices – thanks to our certifications and ability to meet product specification; (iii) our strategy to focus on the commercialization of sugar and anhydrous ethanol, while we built inventory of hydrous ethanol – which can either be carried over or converted into more anhydrous ethanol (in light of low energy spot prices, we are using our bagasse as fuel for the dehydration process); and (iv) our hedging strategy which enabled us to secure sugar at 19.4 cts/lb.
◦Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA reached $272.6 million, $2.8 million higher year-over-year. Crushing volume presented a 2.4 million ton reduction, as we resumed harvesting activities in our Cluster in mid-March, following a short interharvest period. Despite the lower production volume, our commercial strategy enabled us to benefit from attractive prices of ethanol and sugar, especially during the first half of the year. This was possible because we (i) carried-over production from 2021 into 2022 to be sold at higher prices; (ii) cleared out our tanks at the peak of prices achieving record sale volumes; and (iii) leveraged our competitive advantage to sell into the export and domestic market.
Farming & Land Transformation business
◦Adjusted EBITDA in the Farming and Land Transformation business amounted to $17.1 million in 3Q22, marking a 31.1% or $7.7 million reduction compared to the same period of last year. The decline is fully explained by a lower contribution from our Crops and Rice businesses.
◦Focusing on our year-to-date results, which offer better insight than a standalone quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was $72.6 million, 35.9% lower than the previous year. This was driven by our Crops and Rice businesses, which fully offset the improved performance in our Dairy business. Results were mainly impacted by higher costs, lower yields and lower rice prices. Margins were pressured by the global inflationary environment which led to an overall increase in costs of agricultural inputs in U.S. dollars, including fertilizer, agrochemicals and diesel, as well as higher logistic costs, among others. In terms of
yields, rice presented a 12.5% reduction (1.0 Tn/Ha) compared to the previous campaign as a consequence of La Niña weather effect, while peanut and sunflower also performed below last year's average (5.3% and 3.9% lower, respectively). Moreover, yields for both of our second crops (soybean and corn) also reported a decline compared to the previous campaign (19.2% and 6.0% lower, respectively). Regarding prices, while soybean, corn and wheat experienced a year-over-year increase, peanut and rice were 3.0% and 7.2% lower, respectively. In addition, rice prices at the time of harvest were 9% lower year-over-year which, together with the impact in yields, further contributed to a reduction in the mark-to-market of the biological asset.
Net Income & Adjusted Net Income
◦Net Income amounted to $22.6 million during 3Q22, marking a $14.4 million reduction compared to the same period of last year. This was mostly explained by a $34.7 million year-over-year reduction in EBITDA generation compared to 3Q21. Results were partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense to $4.8 million versus expenses of $15.3 million in 3Q21. Net income in 9M22 reached $105.9 million, $33.9 million or 47.1% higher compared to the previous year. This was driven by the above mentioned impact on taxes coupled with the effect of inflation accounting (higher exposure of our negative net monetary position to an inflation rate of 66.1% in 9M22 compared to 37.0% in 9M21).
◦Adjusted Net Income reached $47.2 million during 3Q22, $12.2 million lower than in 3Q21. Nevertheless, during the first nine months of the year it reached $106.0 million, presenting an outperformance of $5.8 million compared to the previous year, despite the year-over-year reduction in Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted Net Income is a more appropriate metric to reflect the Company's performance.

Shareholder Distribution Update
◦During the first ten months of the year, we repurchased 3.6 million shares at an average price of $8.06 per share, totaling $28.8 million. Going forward we expect to continue repurchasing shares, in line with our commitment to generate long term value for our shareholders.
◦On November 17th, we will make our second cash dividend payment of $17.5 million (approximately $0.1603 per share) to shareholders of the Company of record at close of business on November 2nd. The first installment of our cash dividend was paid on May 17th in an equal cash amount (approximately $0.1571 per share), resulting in an annual cash dividend of $35 million. A Luxembourg withholding tax of 15% has been and will be applied to each installment of the gross cash dividend amount.
◦Share repurchases and dividend distribution 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 2021, we generated $152.1 million of NCFO.
Independent Farmland Appraisal Report
◦As of September 30, 2022, Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) updated its independent appraisal of Adecoagro's farmland which consists of 219,850 hectares valued at $727.5 million. On a comparable basis, current valuation of our land portfolio represents a year-over-year increase of 2.5%.

As mentioned in past releases, 2022's operational metrics year-to-date reflect the lagging impact of the adverse weather conditions which affected Brazil's key productive areas in mid-2021. Productivity indicators were impacted and sugarcane availability was limited towards 2021 year-end and beginning of 2022. Despite normally operating based on a continuous harvest model (meaning that we can crush cane year-round), we entered into a short interharvest period from December 2021 to mid-March 2022 to allow our sugarcane to recover.
In order to catch up with the slower-than-average start of the year, during 3Q22 we accelerated our crushing pace and in July we marked a monthly record of 1.5 million tons crushed in our cluster. However, above average rainfall in Mato Grosso do Sul during August and September, and the uneven distribution of
rains, led to frequent interruptions in crushing activities and resulted in a sugarcane crushing volume of 3.8 million tons during the quarter, 0.4 million tons lower compared to 3Q21. Sugarcane yields during the quarter were 9.4% higher compared to the same period of last year reaching 65 tons per hectare, while TRS content presented a 6.4% improvement amounting to 141 kg/ton. However, it is important to highlight that we have good sugarcane availability and that rain favors cane development. Hence, we will be carrying into the following quarters sugarcane with an improved productivity outlook. This will ensure that we will be able to resume our continuous harvest model this year and crush cane during the traditional interharvest period.
On a year-to-date basis, crushing volume reached 7.3 million, 24.4% lower compared to the same period of last year. This was mostly explained by the dynamics of the first quarter, namely the late start of crushing activities and the fact that harvesting activities were mainly concentrated on reform areas with limited growth potential. By doing so we (i) allowed areas with greater potential to continue to grow; (ii) liberated areas to plant new high-yielding cane available for next harvest season; and (iii) maximized the product with highest marginal contribution and captured attractive prices. In terms of productivity, yields were impacted during 9M22 but presented a gradual recovery, as we expected. During 1Q22 yields were 40.9% lower year-over-year, during 2Q22 24.5% lower but during 3Q22 yields improved 9.4% year-over-year. TRS content, in turn, reached 129 kg/ton, flat compared to 9M21.
During the quarter, prices of ethanol experienced significant changes in light of new regulatory measures and of adjustments in domestic gasoline prices to reflect international parity. Our production mix reflected these changes in order to consistently maximize the product offering the highest marginal contribution at all times. At the beginning of the quarter we maximized anhydrous ethanol, followed by hydrous ethanol, and lastly sugar, by mid 3Q22 sugar prices surpassed hydrous ethanol and by the end of the quarter they surpassed anhydrous ethanol, effectively becoming the most attractive option. On average, during 3Q22 anhydrous ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul traded at 19.8 cts/lb, 8.5% premium to sugar while hydrous ethanol traded at 17.3 cts/lb, 5.0% discount to sugar. In this line, during the quarter we diverted as much as 60% of our TRS to ethanol. To further take advantage of price premiums, 57% of our total ethanol production was anhydrous ethanol, most of which was exported to Europe at attractive prices (as we have the necessary certifications and industrial capacity to meet product specifications). This high degree in 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.
On a year-to-date basis, we diverted 69% of our TRS to ethanol, since it has been traded at a premium. Although production of both ethanol and sugar was lower as a consequence of the reduction in crushing volume, this was offset by higher average prices which we were able to capture thanks to our high inventories at the start of the year which were 56% higher than in 2021 in the case of ethanol and 75% in the case of sugar.
Exported energy during the quarter totaled 234 thousand MWh, 11.2% lower compared to the same period of 2021, in line with the reduction in crushing volume. Due to the high level of water in the reservoirs, energy spot prices were low. Because of this, our strategy was to use our bagasse as fuel in the ethanol dehydration process, thus enabling us to produce anhydrous ethanol demanded domestically and in export markets. Cogeneration efficiency ratio during 3Q22 stood at 62.2 KWh/ton, 2.4% lower year-over-
year, driven by the lower exported volume. Year-to-date exported energy amounted to 439 thousand MWh, 23.2% lower year-over-year, fully explained by the reduction in crushing volume.
As of September 30, 2022, our sugarcane plantation consisted of 189,889 hectares, 3.0% higher compared to the same period of last year. Sugarcane planting continues to be a key strategy to supply our mills with quality raw material at low cost. During 3Q22, we planted a total of 8,158 hectares of sugarcane. Of this total planted area, 16% or 1,330 hectares were expansion areas planted to supply our growing crushing capacity and 84% or 6,828 hectares were areas planted to renew old plantations with newer and high-yielding sugarcane, thus allowing us to maintain the productivity of our plantation.

| (2) Net Sales in 9M22 include 10.5 million and in 9M21 9.2 million corresponding to the sale of 18.9 thousand and 23.3 thousand tons of soybean, respectively, planted as cover crop during the implementation of the agricultural technique known as meiosis. Meiosis is based on planting 2 lines called “mother lines” for every 8 lines left unplanted. Once the sugarcane in the mother lines grow and the cut is made, it is used as muda for the remaining 8 lines. As 20% of the sugarcane is planted first, it is 1 year older than the 80% balance, allowing for cover crops to be planted in the meantime. Planting harvestable cover crops results in lower sugarcane production costs, greater planting efficiency and the potential to monetize additional sales. |
All values are in US Dollars.
Net sales amounted to $162.9 million during 3Q22, 9.5% higher year-over-year. This increase was driven by higher selling volumes and higher average selling prices of sugar and anhydrous ethanol (measured both in BRL as well as in U.S. dollars). Despite the changing price environment observed during the quarter, especially regarding hydrous ethanol, we were able to benefit from this scenario as we adapted our production mix and commercial strategy to favor the products offering a premium.
On a year-to-date basis, net sales reached $405.7 million, 7.3% higher year-over-year. This was mostly explained by the higher average selling prices of sugar and ethanol (both hydrous and anhydrous). Despite the late start of harvesting activities and thus the lower production, we were able to benefit from the constructive price scenario during the first semester, in particular to capture the hike in ethanol prices both domestically and in export markets, due to our commercial strategy to carry-over stock from 2021. Indeed, we cleared out our ethanol storage tanks at the peak of prices (monthly record sale of 125 thousand m3 during April, at an average price of 26.4 cts/lb sugar equivalent).
Adjusted EBITDA during 3Q22 amounted to $111.0 million, 19.6% or $27.1 million lower year-over-year. Despite the $9.4 million increase in sales, the decrease was driven by (i) a $13.5 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our sugarcane fully explained by the impact of lower volume and higher agricultural costs on our harvested cane; and by (ii) an increase in costs mostly explained by fuels, lubricants, salaries, in addition to the reduction in volume. Results were partially offset by a $3.5 million gain in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position due to a decrease in prices.
On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $272.6 million, $2.8 million higher year-over-year. This was explained by (i) higher net sales; (ii) year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our sugarcane and of our commodity hedge position; and (iii) lower selling expenses. Results were partially offset by the aforementioned increase in costs. EBITDA per ton crushed amounted to 37.2 $/Tn in 9M22, marking a 33.6% increase year-over-year while EBIT per ton crushed increased by 40.0% year-over-year.

During 3Q22 hydrous ethanol prices in Brazil experienced downward pressure caused by (i) regulatory changes in the tax scheme of fuels, which increased the relative attractiveness of gasoline over hydrous ethanol at the pump; and by (ii) a reduction in international oil prices, which correlate with ethanol. Anhydrous ethanol in the domestic market also experienced a decrease in prices, although demand remained stronger due to the 27% mandatory blend with gasoline. However, the export market, in particular Europe, remained an attractive outlet for players with the necessary certifications and the ability to meet product specification. Sugar, in turn, continued to trade at stable levels throughout the quarter even though Brazilian mills switched to maximize production of this product. This was so because Brazil was the only origin at the time with available sugar to meet global demand.
In this line, in hand with the switch in our production mix, our commercial strategy during the quarter focused on the commercialization of sugar and the export of anhydrous ethanol, while we built inventory of hydrous ethanol. This inventory can either be sold at higher expected prices at a later stage or be converted into anhydrous ethanol.
Sugar sales reached $67.3 million during 3Q22, marking a year-over-year increase of 44.3%. This was driven by a 31.2% increase in selling volumes coupled with a 10.0% increase in average prices which reached 18.9 ct/lb. Year-to-date sugar sales amounted to $95.3 million, 33.5% lower compared to 9M21, driven by a 41.5% decrease in volume, in line with the lower production, partially offset by a 13.7% increase in average selling prices.
Ethanol sales during 3Q22 amounted to $83.5 million, flat year-over-year. However, the mix between hydrous and anhydrous ethanol, and domestic and export market, varied compared to 3Q21. Hydrous ethanol sales presented a 78.4% year-over-year reduction, fully explained by lower selling volumes as we reduced our production mix and built inventories until prices recover. Anhydrous ethanol sales presented a 51.6% year-over-year increase, driven by higher volumes. Although average selling price was flat year-over-year, it reflects a mix of higher exports which fully offset lower domestic prices. Indeed, to profit from higher prices abroad, during the quarter we exported 61.6 thousand m3 at an average price of 20.9 cts/lb (771 $/m3). This represents a competitive advantage as we are one of the few players in Brazil certified to export ethanol and who can reach the level of purity required in Europe.
Year-to-date, ethanol sales amounted to $269.3 million, 40.5% higher compared to 9M21 driven by a 29.2% increase in average selling prices coupled with a 8.7% increase in selling volume. Exports amounted to 82.1 thousand m3 at an average price of 20.8 cts/lb (768 $/m3), and we have an additional 50 thousand m3 to be sold until year-end.
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. We do not speculate on CBio's prices but rather sell our credits as we generate them. During 3Q22 we sold 72.6% less CBios than in 3Q21, in line with the reduction in hydrous ethanol selling volume. Average prices, however, more than doubled reaching 81 BRL/CBio (17 $/CBio), resulting in $1.2 million worth of carbon credits.
Year-to-date we sold 457 thousand CBios, amounting to $8.3 million, 3.3x higher year-over-year. CBio prices were volatile throughout the year, impacted by regulatory changes in the underlying product. Prices reached peaks as high as 200 BRL/CBio (40 $/CBio), which we were able to capture.
In the case of energy, net sales amounted to $11.0 million during 3Q22 and $22.3 million during 9M22, marking a year-over-year reduction of 41.3% and 33.9%, respectively. This was explained by lower average selling prices coupled with a decrease in selling volumes as a consequence of lower crushing and of our commercial decision to use our bagasse to dehydrate ethanol.
As shown in the table below, total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization reached 7.7 cents per pound during 3Q22 and 8.4 cents per pound year-to-date. This marked a year-over-year increase of 26.5% and 55.2%, respectively. In both cases, the increase was driven by a lower dilution of fixed costs due to lower crushing volume coupled with higher costs of inputs, diesel and salaries, among others. During 3Q22 the year-over-year reduction in crushing volume reached 0.4 million tons while year-to-date it amounted to 2.4 million tons. The latter was mostly explained by the first quarter dynamics as it captures the late start of crushing activities in 2022, enhanced by weaker agricultural productivity indicators. It is
worth highlighting that we were able to partially mitigate the increase in fertilizer cost as we used concentrated vinasse and filter cake to replace 100% of our potash fertilizer requirements and 48% of total fertilizer needs.

In both cases this was mostly explained by (i) higher expected yields and TRS content, favored by a recovery of our sugarcane plantation following the impact of adverse weather during 2021; coupled with (ii) higher expected prices.

We are currently engaged in planting activities for our 2022/23 harvest season. We expect to plant 279,198 hectares, 1.3% lower than the previous campaign fully driven by a reduction in second crop area due to the impact of below average rains.

(1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 31 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to Profit/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, depreciation and amortization plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBIT is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA in the Farming and Land Transformation business amounted to $17.1 million in 3Q22, marking a 31.1% or $7.7 million reduction compared to the same period of last year. The decline is fully explained by a lower contribution from our Crops and Rice businesses into overall results. Higher costs driven by a global inflationary environment were the main reason towards the decrease, as well as an uneven performance in yields. Thus, this lower Adjusted EBITDA generation fully offset a $2.1 million gain reported by our Dairy business on a solid execution throughout the quarter. On the other hand, Adjusted EBITDA from our Land Transformation reported a $0.7 million decrease year-over-year due to FX effects on our account receivable (reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Brazilian currency) coupled with a reduction in the number of installments to be collected.
On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $72.6 million, 35.9% lower than the previous year. Despite a 22.1% year-over-year increase reported in our Dairy business, lower Adjusted EBITDA generation was driven by our Rice and Crops businesses. Results were mainly impacted by higher costs, a mixed performance of yields and lower rice prices.

In 3Q22, gross sales amounted to $89.4 million, 17.4% or $13.2 million higher compared to 3Q21. Results were mainly driven by a 22.0% increase in average selling prices, which fully offset the 3.8% decrease in selling volumes. All of our main crops experienced a significant increase in average prices compared to the same period of last year, out of which soybean and wheat reported the largest increase (35.1% and 49.4%, respectively). In the case of soybean, in a bid to promote exports, the Argentine government announced a preferential exchange rate for soybean farmers to convert their earnings to local currency at $200 ARS/USD, rather than at the official exchange rate of $140 ARS/USD. To profit from this measure, valid only during the month of September, we sold most of our inventories, thus increasing our selling volumes by 72.7% versus 3Q21. Moreover, it is important to highlight that commodity prices have been trading at higher levels compared to the previous year due to (i) the ongoing conflict in Europe which generates uncertainty regarding global food supply; coupled with (ii) a strong likelihood of a third-year-in-a-row of "La Niña" in South America.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $5.8 million in 3Q22, marking a 57.5% reduction compared to the same period of last year. As we have previously reported, results were mainly impacted by higher costs in U.S. dollar terms driven by a global inflationary environment pressuring margins. Consequently, we experienced an increase in agricultural input costs, such as fertilizers and diesel, coupled with higher logistics costs. Moreover, we reported a $4.7 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological assets mostly due to a faster harvesting pace of corn which resulted in less volume to be recognized during this quarter compared to last year. In addition, we registered a $2.4 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our forward contracts, mostly related to corn.
On a year-to-date basis, gross sales were $221.0 million, 35.6% higher compared to 9M21, driven by a 13.3% year-over-year increase in average selling volumes, coupled with a 19.7% increase in average selling prices. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of the year was $30.3 million, marking a 36.8% or $17.6 million reduction compared to the previous year. Lower Adjusted EBITDA generation for the period was mostly explained by (i) higher costs in U.S. dollar terms driven by global inflation; (ii) an uneven performance in yields compared to the previous campaign; and (iii) a $14.1 million loss in the mark-to-market of our forward contracts.

The table below shows the gains and losses from crop production generated during the first nine months of 2022. A total of 196,807 hectares were harvested in the 2021/22 crop season while for the 2022/23 crop
season 40,579 hectares have been planted. As of September 30, 2022, total Changes in Fair Value, which reflect the margin of both the crops that have already been harvested and the expected margin of those that are still on the ground with significant biological growth, was $64.9 million, compared to $52.8 million generated during the same period of last year. The main driver for the increase in margins was the increase in commodity prices, especially soybean and corn, partially offset by higher costs due to a global inflationary environment which led to an increase in agricultural input costs.

Gross sales during 3Q22 amounted to $59.0 million, 86.3% higher compared to the same period of last year, while during 9M22 sales reached $139.0 million, marking a 53.6% year-over-year increase. Higher sales in both periods was explained by an increase in selling volumes (30.5% and 26.5%, respectively), which fully offset the year-over-year decrease in average selling prices. Volume sold during the quarter, as well as in 2Q22, include inventory related to our recent acquisition of Viterra’s rice operations (closed in May 2022). It is worth highlighting that despite the year-over-year decrease in average selling prices, these have significantly increased from the levels reported in 1Q22 and 2Q22 ($479/ton and $480/ton, respectively), as we anticipated. The increase was driven by a strong demand for the product in addition to adverse weather conditions in key producing countries, such as India and China. We expect this trend to continue in the short to mid term.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million in 3Q22 and $15.3 million in 9M22, marking a 23.3% and 62.6% year-over-year reduction, respectively. As we have previously reported, results were mainly impacted by lower yields caused by the impact of "La Niña" in some of our farms, and by a 9% decline in prices at the moment of harvest. This resulted in a year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological asset and in the net realizable value of our agricultural produce after harvest of $21.4 million in 9M22. EBITDA generation was also negatively impacted by higher costs in U.S. dollar terms driven by a global inflationary environment. This generated an increase in agricultural input costs, along with higher logistics costs which pressured margins.

In 3Q22, milk production at the farm level was 47.4 million liters, 4.7% higher compared to the same period of last year. This was mainly explained by an 8.2% increase in our dairy cow herd, marking an average of 14,437 milking cows during the quarter. Cow productivity continued at high levels standing at 35.7 liters per cow per day, despite presenting a slight decrease versus 3Q21. On a year-to-date basis, total milk production was 137.9 million liters, 9.1% or 11.5 million liters higher than in 9M21, totally attributable to a 13.3% increase in our milking cows, which fully offset the 3.7% reduction in productivity.
At the industry level, we processed 92.2 millions liters of raw milk during 3Q22, marking a 6.0% decrease compared to the same period of last year. Out of this volume, approximately 35% 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. Year-to-date, total processed milk amounted to 268.3 million liters, 5.5% higher than the previous year. We continue working on product developments to cater both to the domestic and export market.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $9.4 million during 3Q22 and $23.6 million during 9M22, marking a 29.6% and 22.1% year-over-year increase, respectively. In both cases, results were driven by (i) an increase in gross sales, on account of higher volume sold and higher average selling prices; (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 in U.S. dollar terms driven by a global inflationary environment. The main cost contributors were (i) higher cost of feed (corn silage and soy pellets) and (ii) higher costs related to health and reproduction.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to $6.8 million and $16.1 million during 3Q22 and 9M22, respectively. However, once interest expense and the foreign exchange loss related to the financial debt are taken into account, the year-to-date result of the business decreases to negative $40.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for All Other Segments during 3Q22 was negative $464 thousand versus positive $161 thousand reported in 3Q21. Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $170 thousand, compared to an accumulated loss of $160 thousand during the same period of last year.

Although no farm sales were conducted during 9M22 nor during 9M21, Adjusted EBITDA for our Land Transformation business amounted to $3.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively. This is so as it reflects a gain 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. The 40.2% year-over-year reduction in Adjusted EBITDA is mostly explained by the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian currency (3.1% in 9M22 compared to a depreciation of 4.7% in 9M21).
Adjusted EBITDA in 3Q22 presented a year-over-year reduction of $0.7 million, explained by a reduction in the number of installments to be received, coupled with a reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Brazilian real (3.2% in 3Q22 compared to 8.7% in 3Q21).
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 have not been allocated to a specific business segment, such as the remuneration of executive officers and headquarters staff, certain professional fees, office lease expenses, among others. As shown in the table above, corporate expenses for the first nine months of the year were $18.2 million, 16.5% higher than in 9M21 mainly explained by an increase in costs impacted by an inflation in U.S. dollar terms.

Other Operating Income amounted to $3.0 million in 9M22, marking a year-over-year gain of $14.4 million. This was mostly explained by 9M21's results, namely the loss generated in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position as a consequence of an increase in commodity prices. In 3Q22, the $1.4 million year-over-year gain is explained by the same driver.

Net financial results totaled a loss of $36.4 million in 3Q22 and of $69.7 million in 9M22. The year-over-year gain of $10.6 million and $24.9 million, respectively, is mostly explained by the effect of foreign exchange and inflation accounting effects.
The lines "Fx Net" and "Cash Flow Hedge - Transfer from Equity" reflect the impact of foreign exchange variations on our dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. In 9M22 it presented a year-over-year gain of $11.2 million mostly explained by a reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Brazilian Real from 4.7% in 9M21 to a nominal appreciation of 3.1% in 9M22. These results are non-cash in nature and do not affect the net worth of the Company in U.S. dollars.
Further contributing to the year-over-year gain in net financial results is the $6.5 million year-over-year gain in inflation accounting effects, which reflects the results derived from the exposure of our net monetary position to inflation in Argentina. Monetary assets generate a loss when exposed to inflation while monetary liabilities generate a gain every time inflation reduces the owed balance, in real terms. During 9M22 we had a negative net monetary position (monetary liabilities were higher than monetary assets), so we registered a $14.7 million gain, 78.6% higher compared to 9M21. The increase was primarily explained by a 66.1% inflation rate in 9M22, compared to 37.0% in 9M21. The same driver explains the $15.3 million year-over-year gain in the interest expense line.
During 3Q22, results were also mostly explained by (i) inflation accounting effects, as during the quarter our net monetary position was positive and thus, it was impacted by a 22.0% inflation rate compared to 9.3% in 3Q21; and by (ii) a reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Brazilian real from 8.7% in 3Q21 to 3.2% in 3Q22.

As of September 30, 2022, Adecoagro's net debt amounted to $816.0 million, $13.9 million or 1.7% lower compared to the previous quarter. The decrease in net debt is fully explained by a $50.4 million increase in our cash position (Cash & Equivalents + Short-term investments), which offset the 3.6% increase in our gross debt. It is worth highlighting that, as we entered into the second semester of the year, we have started collecting income from most of our products sold.
On a year-over-year basis, net debt was 12.6% higher compared to the same period of last year due to a 15.3% increase in our gross debt position. The increase in debt was mainly driven by the financing of $43 million year-over-year increase in our inventories (finished goods + raw materials), coupled with a $81 million increase in our biological assets versus the prior year, explained by our strategy to secure our supply chain as we enter into the 2022/23 harvest season, along with higher costs of inputs. These working capital requirements are being financed by short term borrowings in our Farming division at attractive rates. Thus, short-term debt was 55.0% higher compared to the same period of last year. The As of September 30, 2022, our Liquidity ratio (Cash & Equivalents + Marketable Inventories / Short Term Debt) reached 1.34x, showing the Company's full capacity to repay short term debt with its cash balances.
Our Net Debt ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA) as of 3Q22 was 2.1x, 6.9% higher than the previous quarter and 32.0% up compared to 3Q21 on lower EBITDA generation for the last twelve months period. Nevertheless, 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-run debt.

Adecoagro's capital expenditures totaled $48.7 million in 3Q22, 13.2% lower compared to the same period of last year, while in 9M22 it amounted to $180.1 million, 13.8% higher year-over-year.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 82% or $39.9 million of total capex in 3Q22, marking a 16.9% decrease compared to the same period of last year. Maintenance capex amounted to $33.8 million, flat versus 3Q21 driven by a 53.2% decrease in Industrial & Agricultural Machinery offset by a 64.1% increase in renewal planting. The latter was driven both by higher planted and higher planting costs due to the global inflationary environment. During 3Q21 in light of the frost event, we anticipated the purchase of machinery to accelerate harvesting activities, which partially explains the year-over-year gap. Expansion capex, in turn, was down 56.4% compared to the previous year, reaching $6.2 million. Investments on this front are related to expansion planting, as well as to small projects including increasing our capacity to concentrate vinasse. Year-to-date, capital expenditures amounted to $148.1 million, 12.6% higher compared to the same period of last year. This was mostly driven by the first quarter dynamics, namely the higher capitalization of interharvest costs due to the late start of crushing activities and hence, longer interharvest period.
Farming & Land Transformation businesses accounted for 18%, or $8.7 million of total capex in 3Q22, presenting a year-over-year increase of 9.3% or $0.7 million. This increase was mainly explained by higher maintenance capex driven by the replacement of vehicles and machinery, coupled with an increase in expansion capex related to the construction of our second biodigestor in our Dairy business (generates renewable energy from the processing of cow manure), coupled with the upgrade of our cheese equipment to enhance our product portfolio offering. Year-to-date, capital expenditures were $32.0 million, 19.9% or $5.3 million higher than the same period of last year. The increase was fully due to higher maintenance capex driven by the same dynamics as explained before.

| 3Q22 Market Highlights |
|---|
◦Sugar price traded within a range of 17.4 cts/lb to 19.4 cts/lb during the quarter. On the one hand, sugar has felt headwinds from a stronger dollar, a reduction in oil/gasoline prices and funds unwinding their position. On the other hand, support has come from stronger sugar demand - production in Brazil stands behind last year's and availability from India is limited - resulting in a tightness in the short-term and consequently leading to high cash premium and strong line-ups in Brazil. Prices in U.S. dollars were, on average, 5% lower than in 2Q22 and 3% lower than in 3Q21, according to ICE futures (Sugar #11). In the near term, the export flow from India, combined with Brazil's and Thailand's availability, will be key to determine sugar price in the next five months. Demand is expected to remain strong until next year.
◦Ethanol prices stabilized in July 2022 after experiencing a significant decrease due to regulatory measures approved by the government. These measures resulted in ethanol becoming less attractive than gasoline at the pump, thus forcing a drop in price in order to incentivize demand. During August 2022, given the significant drop in RBOB and consequently Petrobras announcing price cuts on domestic gasoline, ethanol faced another price reduction. In September 2022, ethanol prices found its floor and started to rise supported by (i) a switch in mix towards sugar; (ii) improved demand of ethanol when pump parity dropped below 70%; (iii) no risks of further cuts on gasoline prices; and (iv) rains above average, which reduced the pace of cane crushing. According to ESALQ index, during 3Q22 hydrous and anhydrous prices decreased 21% and 17%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter. On a year-over-year basis, hydrous and anhydrous prices decreased 14% and 11%, respectively. Although tax measures and reductions on gasoline prices in Brazil caused an overall negative effect in the short term, ethanol fundamentals are supported by (i) higher Otto cycle consumption; (ii) higher sugar mix; (iii) higher ethanol exports; (iv) lower ethanol imports; and (v) uncertainty on final crushing volume in Brazil. As reported by UNICA (Brazil's sugarcane association), domestic ethanol sales in 3Q22 were flat compared to same period of 2021, while accumulated exports rose 33% compared to 2021/22's levels.
◦Brazil's carbon credit market under the RenovaBio program presented a considerable decrease in prices in 3Q22, reaching an average of 107.9 BRL/CBio (approximately 20 USD/CBio), but still significantly up from the 24.6 BRL/CBio (5.4 USD/CBio) registered during the same period of last year. During July, August and September 2022, average prices stood at 155.2, 90.5 and 81.9 BRL/CBio, respectively (approximately 29, 17 and 15 USD/CBio).
◦In 3Q22, energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil were 89% lower than during the same period of last year. During July, August and September, average energy prices were 66.4 BRL/MWh. In October the PLD (Preço de Liquidação das Diferenças or settlement price for differences) was 55.7 BRL/MWh (10.6 USD/MWh), 78% lower compared to last year. The main reason behind the drop was the level of water at the southeast reservoirs (50%), marking a 32% increase compared to the same period of last year. As of September 30th, 2022, consumption showed a decrease of 4.7% when
compared to the same period of last year, according to ONS (Electrical System Operator), while water levels at the reservoirs matched October's figures.
◦During 3Q22, soybean was 6% lower on CBOT compared to 2Q22, while corn was 9% higher. The bearish sentiment in prices was driven by (i) a stable macro scenario despite worldwide inflation, (ii) recession; and (iii) a stronger U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, there are factors supporting commodity prices, such as (i) uncertainty about Ukraine and Russia's agreement on Black Sea impacting corn supply, (ii) a higher likelihood of "La Niña" in 2023, (iii) a tight S&D balance on corn and soybean with high dependency on South American production. Over this period, funds reduced their net long position on soybean and increased their position on corn. Prices at the local market traded 7% lower in the case of soybean and 7% higher on corn, compared to 2Q22. Corn prices were supported by a decrease in early corn production in favor of soybean due to the dryer weather conditions in December, January and February.

| 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 EBITDA margin
Our 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, bargain purchase gain, foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results; (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 non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings which is reflected in the Shareholders’ equity under the line item “Reverse of revaluation surplus derived from the disposals of assets; and (iv) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations. (See
Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - A. Operating Results - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021)
We define “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” for each of our operating segments as (i) the segment’s share of consolidated profit (loss) from operations before financing and taxation as per segment information for the year, as applicable, before depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets; and (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 non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings which is reflected in the Shareholders’ equity under the line item “Reverse of revaluation surplus derived from the disposals of assets;. and (iv) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the 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 and others 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 of property plan and equipment and amortization of intangible assets), tax consequences (income taxes), bargain purchases gains, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. 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 evaluate 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 similarly titled 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 before financing and taxation 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 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.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT starts on page 36.
Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted short-term investments (namely T-Bills use as collateral of short-term borrowings). This measure is widely used by management and investment analysts and we believe it shows the financial strength of the Company
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 EBITDA.
We believe that this metric provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to debt financing instruments in the 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 from fair value adjustments of investment property land and bargain purchase gain; 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”, plus (iv) the reversal of the aforementioned income tax effect, plus (v) any inflation accounting effect; plus (vi) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either Revaluation surplus or Retained earnings.
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 effect, 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; which is why we decided to add back the income tax effect to the Adjusted Net Income considering this tax effect.
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 similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income is not a measures 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.

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, 2021 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2022. These disclosures do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
In Argentina, past economic events forced the government to impose certain restrictions in the exchange markets, such as:
–Dividends payments to non residents.
–Set specific deadlines to enter and settle exports
–Prior authorization of the BCRA for the formation of external assets for companies
–Prior authorization of the BCRA for the payment of debts related to companies abroad
–Deferral of payment of certain public debt instruments.
–Fuel price control
–Some restrictions to exports
–Restrictions to imports

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 September 30, 2022 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
Effective July 1, 2013, the Group formally documented and designated cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in US dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in US dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.
The Group expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2022 and 2024.
For the period ended September 30, 2022, a loss before income tax of US$ 11,598 was recognized in other comprehensive income and a loss of US$ 35,145 was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.

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 loss of US$ 90 thousand in 2022.
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$ 1.8 million in 2022 ( loss of US$ 280 thousand in 2021).
Gain and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.

3. Segment information
IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. 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 CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its operations, products and services. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes.
The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.
•The Group’s ‘Farming’ line of business is further comprised of three reportable segments:
§ The Group’s ‘Crops’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting, sale and processing grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, sunflowers and peanuts, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning, handling and drying services to third parties, and the purchase and sale of crops produced by third parties. Each underlying crop in the Crops 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.
§ The Group’s ‘Rice’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing rice;
§ The Group’s ‘Dairy’ Segment consists of producing, processing and marketing raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others;;
§ The Group’s ‘All Other Segments’ column consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure and for which the Group's management does not consider them to be significance Coffee and Cattle.
•The Group’s ‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and marketed;
•The Group’s ‘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).
Certain other activities of a holding function nature not allocable to the segments are disclosed ‘Corporate’ segment.
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 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 %. Accordingly, Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 from July 1, 2018.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
3. Segment information (continued)
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 this process, 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 revised 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. The segment results of the Argentinean 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. From January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Group’s segment results were still based on the IFRS measurement principles adopted until June 30, 2018.
In order to evaluate the economic performance of businesses on a monthly basis, results of operations in Argentina are based on monthly data that have been 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 company 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.

10. Taxation
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

In June, 2021, the Argentine Government introduced new changes in the income tax, establishing increasing rates, which starts in 25% and reach 35% for income tax gains over Pesos 50 million (0.5 million USD). This new scheme is applicable for the year 2021 onwards.
The gross movement on the deferred income tax account is as follows:

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$ 39.2 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 September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022 would have reduced the value of the Farmlands on US$ 73 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, borrowing costs of US$ 2,447 (September 30, 2021: US$ 1,359) 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$ 129,344 as of September 30, 2022 (September 30, 2021: U$S 124,554)

For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 33.3 million as of September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022 and 2020. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended September 30, 2022 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 ".

16. Financial instruments
As of September 30, 2022, 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 financial instrument concerned 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.

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:
| Class | Pricing Method | Parameters | Pricing Model | Level | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Futures | Quoted price | - | - | 1 | 352 |

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.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above.

20. Acquisition
Acquisition of subsidiaries of Viterra 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). Paso Dragón S.A. has a 12% equity investment in Galofer S.A. (Uruguay). The transaction also includes 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 Company paid the first installments of US$ 2.0 million and US$ 8 million of the assumed debt.
In addition, the agreement provides for a cash contingent payment of US$ 778 thousands, which will be payable only if certain conditions are met.
The Company has made a preliminary allocation of the estimated 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 preliminary estimated purchase price, including the contingent payment and the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price in these consolidated interim financial statements. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Therefore, these preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuations of the net intangible and tangible assets. The final allocation may include changes to (1) the fair values of property, plant and equipment, (2) the recognized amounts of contingencies and liabilities and (3) assets and liabilities, as more information becomes available.
These final valuations may change significantly from the preliminary estimates. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could have a material impact on these consolidated interim financial statements and the Company´s consolidated future results of operations and financial position. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.
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” in the income statement for the nine- months ended September 30, 2022 reflecting the opportunity to acquire the rice operations in Argentina and Uruguay from an outgoing market player.
The following table summarizes the estimated preliminary purchase price:
| Purchase consideration: | |
|---|---|
| Amount paid in cash | 1,993 |
| Amounts to be paid in installments (*) | 15,100 |
| Total purchase consideration | 17,093 |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | 29,122 |
| Bargain purchase gain over the total purchase consideration | 12,029 |
(*) 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 preliminary estimates assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition are as follows:
| Cash and cash equivalents | 3,172 |
|---|---|
| Trade and other receivables | 22,371 |
| Inventories | 50,904 |
| Biological assets | 1,675 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 21,478 |
| Total Assets | 99,600 |
| Trade and other payables | (47,568) |
| Payroll and other liabilities | (908) |
| Borrowings | (20,257) |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | (1,745) |
| Total Liabilities | (70,478) |
| Fair value of Net Assets Acquired | 29,122 |
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 Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.
The following table summarizes the sales of goods and services rendered and profit from operations of the subsidiaries acquired included in the consolidated interim statements of income for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 as from the date of acquisition:
| Period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2022 | |
|---|---|
| Sales of goods and service rendered | 42,153 |
| Profit from operations | 2,931 |

On April 20, 2022 the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company resolved to reduce the issued share capital of the Company by an amount of $16,500,000 by the cancellation of 11,000,000 shares with a nominal value of $1.50 each held in treasury by the Company so that, as from April 20, 2022, our issued share capital amounts to $167,072,722.50, represented by 111,381,815 shares in issue (of which 1,932,628 are treasury shares) with a nominal value of $1.50 each.
Share Repurchase Program
On September 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program for up to 5% of its outstanding shares. The repurchase program has been renewed by the Board of Directors after each 12-month period. On August 9, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the renewal of the Program and extension of the term for an additional twelve-month period ending on September 23, 2023.
Repurchases of shares under the program may be made from time to time (i) in open market transactions in compliance with the trading conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) through privately negotiated transactions. 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.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 20,084,538 shares under the program, of which 7,860,922 have been utilized to cover the exercise and granted of the Company’s employee stock option plan and restricted stock plan and 11 millions share were reduced from capital. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 the Company repurchased shares for an amount of 3,331,749 and 5,826,956 respectively. The outstanding treasury shares as of September 30, 2022 totaled 1,932,628.

27. Provisions for other liabilities
The Group is subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries where it operates. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and it can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. 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. There have been no material changes to claimed amounts and current proceedings since December 31, 2021.

29. Basis of preparation and presentation
The information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of September 30, 2022 and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2022, results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. 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, 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations are mandatory since January 1, 2022. 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, 2021.
Business combinations — purchase price allocation
Complementing Note 32.a to our Consolidated Financial statements as of December 31, 2021 (Scope of consolidation – Subsidiaries), when describing the acquisition method for a business combination, it is necessary to state that: The excess of consideration over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the consideration is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income under the line item “Bargain purchase gain”.
Short-term investments
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: the initial recognition is at cost. Subsequently it is valued at and subsequently measured at fair value, and recognising the variation its fair value in the Statement of income in the line Financial results.
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. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Group's critical accounting policies are also consistent with those of the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 described in Note 32.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independently, assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Group’s property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.
In the case of Goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) expected to benefit from the business combination. CGU to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the CGU may be impaired. The carrying amount of the CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain significant judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not.
For purposes of the impairment testing, each CGU represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Farmlands may be used for different activities that may generate independent cash flows. Those farmlands that are used for more than one segment activity (i.e. crops and cattle or rental income), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing. For its properties in Brazil, management identified a farmland together with its related mill as separate CGUs. Most of the farmlands in Argentina and Uruguay are treated as single CGUs.
Based on these criteria, management identified a total amount of 42 CGUs as of September 30, 2022 and 39 CGUs as of September 30, 2021.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators, the Group only tested those CGUs with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil.
CGUs tested based on a fair-value-less-costs-to-sell model at September 30, 2022 and 2021:
As of September 30, 2022, the Group identified 10 CGUs in Argentina (2021: 10 CGUs) to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). Estimating the fair value less costs-to-sell is based on the best information available, and refers to the amount at which the CGU could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Management may be assisted by the work of external advisors. When using this model, the Group applies the “sales comparison approach” as its method of valuing most properties, which relies on results of sales of similar agricultural properties to estimate the value of the CGU. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties.
Fair values are determined by extensive analysis which includes current and potential soil productivity of the land (the ability to produce crops and maintain livestock) projected margins derived from soil use, rental value obtained for soil use, if applicable, and other factors such as climate and location. Farmland ratings are established by considering such factors as soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage and rain levels. Farmland may contain farm outbuildings. A farm outbuilding is any improvement or structure that is used for farming operations. Outbuildings are valued based on their size, age and design.

Based on the factors described above, each farm property is assigned different soil classifications for the purposes of establishing a value, Soil classifications quantify the factors that contribute to the agricultural capability of the soil. Soil classifications range from the most productive to the least productive.
The first step to establishing an assessment for a farm property is a sales investigation that identifies the valid farm sales in the area where the farm is located. A price per hectare is assigned for each soil class within each farm property. This price per hectare is determined based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis mainly described above.
The results are then tested against actual sales, if any, and current market conditions to ensure the values produced are accurate, consistent and fair.
The following table shows only the 10 CGUs (2021: 10 CGUs) where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:
| CGU / Operating segment / Country | September 30, 2022 | September 30, 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| La Carolina / Crops / Argentina | 242 | 197 |
| La Carolina / Cattle / Argentina | 39 | 32 |
| El Orden / Crops / Argentina | 260 | 212 |
| El Orden / Cattle / Argentina | 9 | 8 |
| La Guarida / Crops / Argentina | 1,726 | 1,407 |
| La Guarida / Cattle / Argentina | 889 | 725 |
| Los Guayacanes / Crops / Argentina | 3,196 | 2,606 |

| El Colorado / Crops / Argentina | 2,768 | 2,256 |
| El Colorado / Cattle / Argentina | 27 | 22 |
| Closing net book value of goodwill allocated to CGUs tested (Note 13) | 14,721 | 12,001 |
| Closing net book value of PPE items and other assets allocated to CGUs tested | 158,307 | 143,064 |
| Total assets allocated to CGUs tested | 173,028 | 155,065 |
Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2022 and 2021.
CGUs tested based on a value-in-use model at September 30, 2022 and 2021:
As of September 30, 2022, the Group identified 2 CGUs (2020: 2 CGUs) in Brazil to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). The determination of the value-in-use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management’s cash flow projections In performing the value-in-use calculation, the Group applied pre-tax rates to discount the future pre-tax cash flows. In each case, these key assumptions have been made by management reflecting past experience and are consistent with relevant external sources of information, such as appropriate market data. In calculating value-in-use, management may be assisted by the work of external advisors.
The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations which are considered to be most sensitive to the calculation are:

| Key Assumptions | September 30, 2022 | September 30, 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial projections | Covers 5 years for UMA (*) | Covers 5 years for UMA (*) |
| Covers 5 years for AVI (**) | Covers 5 years for AVI (**) | |
| Yield average growth rates | 0-1% | 0-1% |
| Future pricing increases | 1.21% per annum | 1.76% per annum |
| Future cost decrease | 0.25% per annum | 0.33% per annum |
| Discount rates | 5.2% | 4% |
| Perpetuity growth rate | 1% | 1% |
(*) UMA stands for Usina Monte Alegre LTDA.
(**) AVI stands for Adecoagro Vale Do Ivinhema S.A.
Discount rates are based on the risk-free rate for U. S. government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in South America and Brazil in particular. The risk premium adjustment is assessed for factors specific to the respective CGUs and reflects the countries that the CGUs operate in.
The following table shows only the 2 CGUs where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:
| CGU/ Operating segment | September 30, 2022 | September 30, 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| AVI / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy | 2,937 | 2,919 |
| UMA / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy | 1,102 | 1,095 |
| Closing net book value of goodwill allocated to CGUs tested (Note 14) | 4,039 | 4,014 |
| Closing net book value of PPE items and other assets allocated to CGUs tested | 518,814 | 469,434 |
| Total assets allocated to 2 CGUs tested | 522,853 | 473,448 |
Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Management views these assumptions are conservative and does not believe that any reasonable change in the assumptions would cause the carrying value of these CGU’s to exceed the recoverable amount.
31. Information related to COVID-19 pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in China and started spreading to the rest of the world in early 2020. The COVID-19 virus has impacted economic activity worldwide and has posed the risk that Adecoagro or its employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise adopted by companies as a preventive measure.
Both in Argentine and Brazil, governments adopted social distancing measures, and shutdowns, that affected economic activities. In our case, activities pursued by our Argentine subsidiaries, related to agricultural production, distribution and commercialization, were exempted from the Mandatory Isolation Regime for being considered “essential” activities. Also our activities in Brazil have no restrictions. Thus, the activity of the Company has not suffered any severe effect.
As of the date of this report, impulsed by the vaccination path, almost all restrictions were lifted.
