Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business
◦Adjusted EBITDA in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business reached $57.3 million in 1Q22, only 1.5% lower compared to 1Q21. Crushing volume during 1Q22 amounted to 0.3 million tons as we resumed harvesting activities in our Cluster in mid-March, following a short interharvest period. Despite the lower production volume, our commercial strategy to carry-over 153 thousand m3 of ethanol and 23 thousand tons of sugar from 4Q21 into 1Q22 enabled us to benefit from attractive prices of ethanol and sugar. Strong ethanol prices continued during April, supported by the delay in the Center-South's beginning of harvest, and we were able to capture them by selling our remaining ethanol stocks in addition to our monthly production. During April we made a monthly record sale of 125 thousand cubic meters comprised of 70% hydrous ethanol and 30% anhydrous at an average price of 26.4 cts/lb sugar equivalent (6.7 cts/lb higher than the average price for sugar).
◦Operational results achieved are not an indication of our expectation for the full year. As anticipated in past releases, we expect crushing volume during 2022 to be in line with 2021 but concentrated towards the second semester, as our plantation continues to recover from 2021’s adverse weather. In line with this strategy, during 1Q22 we focused on harvesting reform areas mainly related to 5th cut and above, with limited growth potential. This enabled us to (i) maximize ethanol (97% mix) and capture attractive prices; (ii) allow sugarcane areas with greater potential to continue to grow; and (iii) liberate area to plant new cane that will be harvested next season. The improvement in cane availability and the positive outlook in terms of productivity favored by above average rainfalls during March and April, will allow us to continue to take advantage of the constructive price scenario. We believe we are in a solid position to benefit from this due to our low sugar commitments (38% hedged) which grants us the flexibility to continuously maximize the product with the highest marginal contribution.
Farming & Land Transformation business
◦Adjusted EBITDA in the Farming and Land Transformation business amounted to $35.6 million in 1Q22, marking a 36.6% or $20.6 million decrease compared to 1Q21. Despite the good performance of the Crops and Dairy businesses, the decline was mainly explained by a lower contribution from our Rice business. Lower rice prices at the time of harvest coupled with lower yields as a consequence of La Niña weather effect, resulted in a $16.3 million year-over-year loss in the valuation of our biological asset and agricultural produce.
◦In May, we closed the acquisition of Viterra's rice operations in Uruguay and Argentina, as reported in our past release. We believe this transaction will enhance the performance of our Rice business, as it will contribute Uruguayan branded rice and a better mitigation of weather risk, in addition to providing further commercial and logistics advantages.
Net Income & Adjusted Net Income
◦Net Income amounted to $65.2 million during 1Q22, marking a year-over-year gain of $45.8 million. This was mostly explained by the effect of foreign exchange. In the case of Brazil, the domestic currency appreciated 15.1% during 1Q22, compared to a 9.6% depreciation during 1Q21.
◦Adjusted Net Income in 1Q22 reached $14.7 million, $39.8 million lower than in 1Q21. Adjusted Net Income excludes, (i) any non-cash result derived from bilateral exchange variations; (ii) any revaluation resulting from the hectares held as investment property; (iii) any inflation accounting result; and includes (iv) any gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland (the latter is already included in Adj. EBITDA). We believe Adjusted Net Income is a more appropriate metric to reflect the Company´s performance.

Distribution Update
◦Our Annual Shareholder Meeting held on April 20th approved a cash dividend distribution of $35 million to be paid in two installments of $17.5 million each. The first installment represents approximately $0.1571 per share and will be paid on May 17th, 2022 to shareholders of the Company of record at close of business of May 2nd, 2022. The second installment shall be payable in or about November 2022 in an equal cash amount. A Luxembourg withholding tax of 15% will be applied to each installment of the gross cash dividend distribution amount.
◦In addition, year-to-date we have repurchased 1.5 million shares under our existing share buyback program, totaling $11.6 million.
◦Dividend distribution and share repurchases are part of the company's distribution policy, which consists of a minimum distribution of 40% of the Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations (NCFO) generated during the previous year. In 2021, we generated $152.1 million of NCFO.
Pioneers in the commercialization of renewable natural gas certificates
◦In early April, Adecoagro officially became the first company in Brazil to commercialize renewable natural gas certificates. Gas-recs, as they referred to in the market, attest to the production of renewable natural gas (non-fossil). In this line, industries in Brazil can voluntarily purchase these credits to decarbonize the gas consumed in their operations. The sale involved 25 thousand certificates to Metso Outotec, at a unit price of 1.80 BRL.
◦In 2022 our biogas unit in Ivinhema (Mato Grosso do Sul) will be generating 1 gas-rec for every 1 million Btu produced (approximately 30m3 of methane), used both in our industrial process to generate steam, or in its conversion to biomethane.
◦We are proud to be the first movers in a market that rewards sustainable operations, as was the case in 2020 when we kickstarted the commercialization of carbon credits under the RenovaBio program.

During the second half of 2021, we began our planting activities for the 2021/22 harvest year, which continued throughout early 2022. We have planted a total of 281,500 hectares, which represents a 7.4% increase in area compared to the previous season. We are currently undergoing harvesting activities for most of our grains. As of the end of April 2022, we harvested 146,292 hectares, or 52.0% of total area, and produced 649,487 tons of aggregate grains.
Crops Update
Soybean 1st crop: As of the end of April, we harvested 38% (16,652 hectares) of the planted area obtaining an average yield of 3.7 Tn/Ha. Rains were limited during the months of November and December, but good rainfall observed during the second half of January, February and March, favored crop development and enabled us to reach yields above our expectations.
Corn: As of the end of April, we harvested 70% (13,800 hectares) of the area planted with early corn, reaching good yields in the west and northern region of Argentina where humidity conditions were good. Yields in the north of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos province were below our expectations, as they were more exposed to dry weather during spring. At the same time, we have planted 35,500 hectares of late corn which are still going through their development cycle. Conditions are good, favored by abundant rainfall registered during January and increased precipitation observed towards the end of summer.
Peanut: We had good conditions during the growing period for this crop, and as of the end of April we have already pulled up 55% (13,060 hectares) of the planted area and started harvesting activities with very good results. We expect to achieve yields in line with our forecast.

(1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 27 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 $35.6 million in 1Q22, marking a 36.6% or $20.6 million decrease compared to 1Q21. The decline is fully explained by a lower contribution from our Rice business into the overall results due to lower yields and prices at the time of harvest. Thus, this lower Adjusted EBITDA generation fully offset a 3.2% and 48.0% growth reported by Crops and Dairy, respectively. On the other hand, the Land Transformation business had little gain as no farm sales were conducted during the quarter.

In 1Q22, gross sales in our Crops segment reached $39.4 million, marking a 24.9% or $7.8 million year-over-year increase compared to 1Q21. Higher revenues are explained by a 34.8% increase in average selling prices, driven by higher commodity prices. This increase came as result of (i) the conflict in Europe, which started in late February, and led to a hike mainly in the price of wheat and corn, and to a lesser extent on soybean, due to Russia and Ukraine's role in world exports; and (ii) a pressure in prices related to a potential negative impact in South America's 2021/22 campaign given a new "La Niña" year. Thus, this enabled us to capture an additional $155/Mt in the case of corn, $145/Mt for soybean and $52/Mt for wheat. Results were partially offset by a 7.4% year-over-year decrease in overall volumes sold as part of our commercial strategy to carry-over stock and benefit from higher expected prices.
Adjusted EBITDA in our Crops segment was $18.5 million, 3.2% higher compared to the same period of last year. Adjusted EBITDA generation was benefited by an increase in gross sales, along with a year-over-year gain of $11.5 million in the mark-to-market of our biological assets due to higher planted area and better prices. Results were partially offset by (i) a net loss of $8 million in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position; (ii) an increase in selling expenses of $2.6 million due to higher logistics costs; and (iii) inflation in Argentina in U.S. dollar terms which drove costs and expenses.

A total of 232,299 hectares were planted in the 2021/22 crop season, out of which 79,559 hectares have been already harvested. As of March 31, 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 $29.4 million, compared to $17.8 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 in U.S. dollar terms.

In 1Q22, gross sales for our Rice business amounted to $33.7 million, 22.8% or $6.2 million higher compared to the same period of last year. This increase was mainly driven by a 31.9% increase in selling volumes on higher exports, partially offset by a 9.3% decrease in average selling prices as export prices did not copy the increase experienced by other commodities.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter amounted to $8.3 million, marking a 70.9% or $20.1 million year-over-year decrease. Results were mainly impacted by (i) a $16.3 million year-over-year loss in our biological asset and agricultural produce; (ii) higher costs due to inflation in Argentina in U.S. dollar terms; and (iii) a $2.0 million year-over-year increase in selling expenses related to higher logistics costs. Despite a 10.8% increase in our planted area compared to the previous campaign, lower yields and an 8% year-over-year decline in prices at the moment of harvest were the main contributors towards the loss in the mark-to-market of our biological asset. Regarding yields, water shortage during summertime caused by the effect of "La Niña" in the Northeast region of Argentina where our Rice operations are based, impacted some of our farms. It is worth highlighting that the 10.3% year-over-year decrease in yields to 6.8 Tn/Ha is also related to last year's record high. All in all, our current figure is in line with our historical average.
Entering into Uruguay through the acquisition of Viterra’s rice operations, will contribute to our geographic diversification and hence mitigate weather risk. Additional advantages of the deal include (i) international recognition of Uruguayan rice as being of the highest quality; (ii) expansion of our product portfolio and access to new markets; (iii) logistics synergies; and (iv) 230 thousand tons increase in our processing capacity (150 thousand in Uruguay and 80 thousand in Argentina) totalizing 580 thousand tons.

In 1Q22, milk production at the farm level amounted to 45.0 million liters, an increase of 14.6% or 5.7 million liters, compared to the same period of last year. This was mainly explained by a 20.0% increase in our dairy cow herd, which reached an average of 14,334 milking cows during the quarter. Cow productivity stood at 34.9 liters per cow per day, leading to a daily production of 0.5 million liters of milk. Although there was a slight decrease in our cow productivity, this indicator remains at high levels even as we continue to increase our dairy cow herd to reach full capacity in our four free-stalls.
At the industry level, we processed 90.3 million liters of raw milk during the first three months of the year, marking a 19.2% increase compared to 1Q21. Out of this volume, approximately 41% came from our dairy farm operations whereas the balance was sourced from local producers in nearby areas or supplied by partners to whom we provide tolling service.We continue working on product developments to cater both to the domestic and export market.
Gross sales for the quarter amounted $54.8 million, a 51.5% year-over-year increase compared to 1Q21. Higher revenues in the segment were driven by (i) both an increase in volumes sold and in average prices, mostly export prices, as we increased the mix of higher value added products; (ii) our continuous focus on achieving efficiencies in our vertically integrated operations and increasing our productivity levels in every stage of the value chain; (iii) our flexibility to divert milk to the production of a variety of dairy products, as well as to shift sales across markets. Thus, Adjusted EBITDA expanded 48.0% in the quarter versus 1Q21 to $7.0 million. Nevertheless, Adjusted EBITDA growth was partially offset by (i) the higher cost of feed (corn silage and soy pellets) on account of higher commodity prices; (ii) higher costs related to health and reproduction, accentuated by an inflation in Argentina in U.S. dollar terms; in addition to (iii) higher logistics costs.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to $4.7 million in 1Q22. However, once interest expense and the foreign exchange loss related to the financial debt are taken into account, the three-months result of the business decreases to negative $5.9 million.

Although no farm sales were conducted during 1Q22 nor during 1Q21, adjusted EBITDA for our Land Transformation business amounted to $1.2 million and $5.1 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. Despite higher soybean prices, the year-over-year reduction in Adjusted EBITDA is explained by the impact of the appreciation of the Brazilian currency. From an accounting perspective, this figure is captured in Other Operating Income line of the Land Transformation segment.

Our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul normally operates based on a continuous harvest model. This means that subject to weather going normal, we can harvest and crush cane year-round even during the first quarter of the year which is the traditional interharvest period for Brazil’s Sugar & Ethanol industry. As already noted in the 4Q21 Earnings Release, the adverse weather conditions observed in 2021 caused a reduction in sugarcane availability towards year-end and beginning of 2022. As a result, in December 2021 we entered into an interharvest period until mid-March 2022, when we resumed activities. Compared to most players which stopped operations for a 6-7 month window, ours was a short interharvest period. However, the year-over-year comparison presents a significant drop in our production variables, which we expect to compensate in the following quarters. In this regard, it is important to highlight that results
observed during 1Q22 should be analyzed being mindful that year-over-year comparisons can be misleading and are not a reflection of our expectations for the full year.
The improvement in cane availability and the positive outlook in terms of productivity due to above average rainfalls during March and April, have allowed us to increase our crushing pace and continue to take advantage of the constructive price scenario. Our commercial strategy to carry-over stock from 2021 enabled us to capture attractive prices, in particular the hike in ethanol prices towards the end of the quarter. Moreover, during April we marked a new record high for ethanol sales, amounting to 125 thousand cubic meters at an average price of 26.4 cts/lb in sugar equivalent (6.7 cts/lb higher than the average price for sugar during April), including 10 thousand cubic meters exported.
Going into the operating data of the quarter, during 1Q22 crushing volume amounted to 0.3 million tons of sugarcane, compared to 2.1 million during the same period of last year. Harvesting activities during the quarter were concentrated on reform areas mainly related to 5th cut and above, with limited growth potential. This enabled us to maximize ethanol and capture attractive prices; (ii) allow areas with greater potential to continue to grow; and (iii) liberate area to plant new high-yielding cane available for next harvest season. In this regard, sugarcane yields in 1Q22 reached 44.2 tons per hectare while TRS content reached 100 kg/ton, marking an year-over-year reduction of 40.9% and 11.0% respectively.
In terms of mix, in line with our strategy to maximize production of the product with the highest marginal contribution, we diverted as much as 97% of our TRS to ethanol to profit from higher relative prices. During the quarter hydrous and anhydrous ethanol traded at 19.1 cts/lb and 20.8 cts/lb, 3.2% and 12.5% premium to sugar, respectively (we captured above market prices, as we will see in the next section). To further take advantage of price premiums, 49% of our total ethanol production was anhydrous ethanol, compared to 11% during 1Q21. 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. 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 this year which were 56% higher than in 1Q21 in the case of ethanol and 75% in the case of sugar.
Exported energy during the quarter totaled 18.1 thousand MWh, 77.2% lower compared to the same period of 2021, as a consequence of the reduction in crushing volume. Cogeneration efficiency ratio, however, stood at 66.3 KWh/ton, 74.6% higher year-over-year.
As of March 31, 2022, our sugarcane plantation consisted of 187,757 hectares, 4.6% 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 1Q22, we planted a total of 6,970 hectares of sugarcane. Of this total planted area, 28% or 1,950 hectares were expansion areas planted to supply our growing crushing capacity and 72% or 5,020 hectares were areas planted to renew old plantations with newer and high-yielding sugarcane, thus allowing us to maintain the productivity of our plantation.

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. |

Net sales in 1Q22 reached $72.8 million, 2.6% lower compared to 1Q21. The decrease was driven by the lower selling volumes of sugar, ethanol and energy, as a consequence of the lower crushing volume. However, this was almost fully offset by higher average selling prices of ethanol and sugar (measured both in BRL as well as in U.S. dollars). Our commercial strategy to carry-over stock from 2021 enabled us to benefit from the constructive price scenario, in particular to capture the hike in ethanol prices towards the end of the quarter. We continued to profit from high prices after the end of the quarter, by selling our remaining ethanol stocks during April in addition to our monthly production. By doing so we marked a record of 125 thousand cubic meters of ethanol sold in one month, at an average price of 26.4 cts/lb sugar equivalent.
Despite the late start of harvesting activities and thus, the lower production, Adjusted EBITDA during 1Q22 was $57.3 million, in line compared to the same period of last year. Year-over-year we registered (i) a $9.6 million gain in the mark-to-market of our sugarcane coupled with (ii) a $6.2 million gain in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position despite the increase in prices, due to a loss observed in 1Q21. Results were offset by an increase in costs mostly driven by fertilizers, fuels, lubricants and an appreciation of the Brazilian currency, in addition to the slight reduction in sales.

Prices for sugar and ethanol continued to be constructive as the market factored in (i) the late start of harvesting activities in Center-South Brazil due to the lagging impact of 2021's adverse weather; (ii) the hike in international oil prices which drove ethanol prices and, in turn, sugar; and (iii) greater than expected rebound in hydrous ethanol consumption in March marking a 32% increase versus February. Despite the lower production of sugar and ethanol during 1Q22, we were able to capture high prices as we had carry-over stock (153 thousand cubic meters of ethanol and 23 thousand tons of sugar). We believe we are in a good position to continue to capture the increase in prices as we still have unhedged 62% of sugar and 95% of ethanol production related to the 22/23 campaign.
Sugar sales during 1Q22 reached $7.8 million, 69.1% lower than during the same period of last year. This decrease was driven by a 72.5% decrease in selling volumes due to lower production, partially offset by a 12.4% increase in average prices which reached 20.5 ct/lb.
Ethanol sales during 1Q22 amounted to $56.8 million, 31.1% higher year-over-year. This was explained by a 48.7% increase in average selling prices measured in U.S. dollars, led by anhydrous ethanol (20.6 cts/lb and 22.0 cts/lb sugar equivalent). Despite a year-over-year reduction in ethanol production, we were able to benefit from the price scenario due to our inventory level. At the end of 2021 we carried over 93 thousand m3 of anhydrous ethanol and 61 thousand m3 of hydrous ethanol (55.6% higher than in 1Q21) to benefit from higher expected prices. Half of these inventories was sold in 1Q22, while the other 50% was sold during April at levels of 26.4 cts/lb sugar equivalent.
Due to the efficiency and sustainability in our operations, ranked among the highest in the industry, we have the right to issue carbon credits (CBio) every time we sell ethanol. During 1Q22 we sold $1.9 million worth of carbon credits at an average price of 86 BRL/CBio (16 $/CBio) - net price of 14 $/CBio-, 3.4x higher than during 1Q21.
In the case of energy, net sales in 1Q22 were $1.7 million, 53.6% lower compared to 1Q21 driven by a 45.7% year-over-year decrease in selling volumes and a 14.5% decrease in average selling prices due to the high levels of water in the reservoirs.
As shown in the table below, during the last twelve months of 2022 total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization reached 7.5 cents per pound, compared to 4.6 in the same period of last year. This increase was driven by a lower dilution of fixed costs caused by a year-over-year reduction in crushing volume of 22.9% (9.1 million tons crushed in LTM 2022 and 11.8 million tons in LTM 2021), explained by the first quarter dynamics. The increase in costs of inputs, fertilizers, diesel and salaries, among others, coupled with the appreciation of the Brazilian currency further contributed to the increase in costs. On a full year basis, we expect costs to be in line or slightly above 2021.

Total Changes in Fair Value of Unharvested Biological Assets (what is currently growing on the fields and will be harvested during the next 12 months) represented a gain of $59.1 million during 1Q22 mostly driven by higher expected yields favored by good rains during March and April. Year-over-year it represented a gain of $52.4 million mainly attributed to higher expected prices. These effects were partially offset by a strengthening of the Brazilian currency.

In 1Q22, Other Operating Income amounted to a loss of $13.1 million, compared to a $5.8 million loss registered in the same quarter of the previous year. The negative results are mainly attributable to a loss in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position caused by an increase in commodity prices, such as soybean, corn and sugar, among others.

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. Year-over-year it presents a gain of $77.0 million explained by a reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Brazilian Real from 9.6% during 1Q21 to an appreciation of 15.1% during 1Q22, and by a reduction in the nominal depreciation of the Argentine Peso from 9.3% in 1Q21 to a depreciation of 8.1% during 1Q22. These results are non-cash in nature and do not affect the net worth of the Company in U.S. dollars.

As of March 31, 2022, Adecoagro's net debt position was $788.0 million, $170.1 million or 27.5% higher compared to 4Q21. This was fully explained by a 13.8% increase in gross debt, along with a 28.5% reduction in our cash position. It is worth highlighting that cash generation is concentrated in the second semester of the year, whereas the first has the highest working capital requirements. From a seasonality point of view, we incur most of our costs during the first quarter as our crops are planted and there is only a small portion that is harvested and sold. Thus, we expect to reduce the working capital requirements and our indebtedness as we continue with our harvesting activities throughout the second and third quarter.
On a year-over-year basis, net debt in 1Q22 increased by 7.6% compared to the same period of last year. The slight decrease of 1.0% in gross debt was fully offset by the 31.5% decrease in our cash position. The reduction in our cash levels was mostly explained by an increase in marketable inventories of $44.8 million compared to 1Q21, led by higher prices and higher carry-over stock, especially soybean and corn.
Our Net Debt ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA) as of March 31, 2022 was 1.90x, flattish versus 1Q21 but 34.5% above 4Q21. A higher leverage ratio was mainly driven by the increase in our net debt position as explained above, along with a slight reduction in our EBITDA generation LTM compared to the previous quarter. 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.
The Company has full capacity to repay short term debt with its cash balances, as shown by our Liquidity ratio above 1.0x. As of March 31, 2022, our Liquidity ratio (Cash & Equivalents + Marketable Inventories / Short Term Debt) reached 1.53x.

Adecoagro's capital expenditures totaled $80.3 million in 1Q22, 40.0% higher compared to the same period of last year.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 82% or $66.1 million of total capex in 1Q22, representing an increase of 43.2% compared to 1Q21. Maintenance capex stood at $55.8 million, 44.5% higher year-over-year mostly related to (i) higher planted and soil preparation area coupled with the increase in fertilizer costs and overall inflation over fixed costs; and (ii) higher capitalization of interharvest costs due to the late start of crushing activities (mid-March 2022 versus January 2021, and hence longer interharvest period). Expansion capex, in turn, increased by 36.7% compared to 1Q21, reaching $10.3 million. The increase is mostly explained by investments to increase vinasse concentration. Concentrated vinasse is used as a biofertilizer in our sugarcane plantation (replacing 100% of our potash fertilizer requirements) and as input in our biodigestor to produce biogas which can in turn be used to generate energy and/or biomethane.
Farming & Land Transformation businesses accounted for 18%, or $14.1 million of total capex in 1Q22, presenting a year-over-year increase of 26.7%. This is explained by a $6.0 million increase in maintenance capex mainly related to the replacement of vehicles and machinery and to the replacement of part of our dairy cows, to maintain the productivity of our herd.

| 1Q22 Market Highlights |
|---|
◦Sugar price traded in a limited range during 1Q22. The market was influenced by steadily rising estimates of sugar production in India, but also showed a considerable volatility after the conflict in Europe started. During 1Q22, sugar prices were, on average, 5% lower than 4Q21 and 15% higher than 1Q21, according to ICE futures (Sugar #11). Global sugar demand was strong in the period, but an additional production of 2 million MT from India drove 2021/22 crop S&D to a surplus for most analysts. Nevertheless, Sugar/Ethanol parity should play a major role in the global S&D and therefore in prices. Supply could be substantially affected if Brazilian mills decided to switch the mix towards ethanol on the back of strong oil prices. Price upside include: (i) extreme weather affecting global production (ii) shortage of fertilizers, (iii) lower sugar mix in Brazil and (iv) soaring grain prices turning other crops more competitive than cane. On the other hand, the main downside risk is a sharp decline in oil prices that could lead to a higher sugar mix from Brazil.
◦Due to high pump ratio and unfavorable parity, ethanol demand in the first two months of the year was low and market expectation until March was for a higher than usual closing stocks on March 31st. However, in March 2022, ethanol prices started to rebound after a combination of (i) 19% hike in gasoline price, (ii) recovery of overall fuel demand and (iii) late beginning of the new harvest in Brazil. Ethanol domestic sales reported by UNICA showed an increase of 32% in March 2022 versus February 2022. Moreover, according to ESALQ index, hydrous and anhydrous prices increased by 10% and 7%, respectively, in March 2022 versus February 2022, and improving even further in April. The 2022/23 campaign is expected to start with a full maximization of ethanol due to a strong Brazilian currency, higher gasoline price and higher ethanol profitability versus sugar (at least) in the short term. Looking beyond this year, higher global energy prices should be key for prices and production in Brazil.
◦Brazil's carbon credit market under the RenovaBio program continued to develop, reaching an average price of 86.0 BRL/CBio (approximately 18.1 USD/CBio) in 1Q22 compared to 30.8 BRL/CBio (5.5 USD/CBio) in the same period of last year. During January, February and March 2022, average prices were 64.6, 87.4 and 97.9 BRL/CBio, respectively (11.7, 16,5 and 19.7 USD/CBio).
◦In 1Q22, energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil were 66% lower than during the same period of last year. During January, February and March, energy prices were 62.9 BRL/MWh, 55.7 BRL/MWh and 55.7 BRL/MWh, respectively. In April, the PLD (Preço de Liquidaçao das Diferenças or settlement price for differences) stayed at levels of 55.7 BRL/MWh as a result of the recent rains and increased levels in water reservoirs. Consumption showed an increase of 2.2% when compared to last year, according to CCEE. The level of the southeast reservoirs was 61% by March, marking a 27% increase compared to the same period of last year.
◦During 1Q22, soybean traded 16% higher at CBOT compared to 4Q21, while corn prices traded 23% higher. The increase in prices was driven by (i) La Niña event affecting South American production, (ii) the conflict in Europe (increase in production costs and uncertainty regarding Russia's export
execution and Ukraine's production execution), and (iii) slow demand from China for soybean and corn. Over this period, funds' net position remained net long on corn and soybean. Prices at the local market traded 21% higher on soybean and 17% higher on corn, compared to 4Q21. The market was supported by a bottleneck on harvest (trucks, gasoil, gas and fuel oil) and farmer selling's delay in Brazil and Argentina regarding 21/22 campaign.

| 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, 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, 2018)
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), 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 31.
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. 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; 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.

1. General information
Adecoagro S.A. (the "Company" or "Adecoagro") is the Group’s ultimate parent company and is a société anonyme (stock corporation) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Adecoagro is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Group". These activities are carried out through three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy and Land Transformation. Farming is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on May 10, 2022.
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 three month period ended March 31, 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

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, a loss before income tax of US$ 1,472 was recognized in other comprehensive income and a gain of US$ 8,645 was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.

The currency forward contracts maturity date is August 2022. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a gain amounting to US$ 0.03 million in 2022.
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.

3. Segment information (continued)
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.
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”.

3. Segment information (continued)
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.

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$ 710 million as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2022 would have reduced the value of the Farmlands on US$ 71 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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, borrowing costs of US$ 746 (March 31, 2021: US$ 397) 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$ 121,405 as of March 31, 2022 (March 31, 2021: U$S 118,591)

For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 32.1 million as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2022 and 2020. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended March 31, 2022 would have reduced the value of the Investment properties on US$ 3.2 million, which would impact the line item "Net loss from fair value adjustment ".

| Total biological assets | 249,275 | 195,178 |
16. Financial instruments
As of March 31, 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.

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 March 31, 2022 and for the three-months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2022, results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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.
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.
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

Additionally, remote work has been guaranteed for the duration of the pandemic for employees based in central offices, and a rotation scheme has been implemented for administrative employees based in the farms or industrial facilities.
