Thanks, Paula, and good morning to everyone. Thanks for joining us today. please turn to slide number three for today's key business and financial highlights this quarter reflects a period of transition and operational refocusing for the company while it is historically our weakest quarter from a baseline business perspective total revenues and gross profits showed a decline compared to the same quarter last year we were which was partially offset by an improvement in operational expenses net loss was 10 million dollars primarily reflecting lower gross profit as well as increased financial expenses all of which will be described in greater detail later in the presentation also in the last three years we have booked profits from ip rights and other commercial arrangements in this quarter which help us offset baseline operating losses although we continue to explore strategic arrangements with our partners on a regular basis and see this as a recurrent source of profitability this year the timing of profit generating arrangements did not coincide with initial months of the calendar year as i have stated in my message to shareholders of march 16th We recognize the significance of the events surrounding pro-farm and the uncertainty generated by the ongoing litigation process. Jose Roque, our general counsel, will now provide an update of the ongoing litigation. Please turn to slide number four.

Thank you, Federico, and good morning to everyone on the call. As previously disclosed, in November 2025, four holders of secured notes issued under no purchase agreements, dated August 2022, filed a lawsuit in New York against the company and certain guarantor affiliates. The plaintiffs allege that defaults occurred under those agreements and are seeking payment of amounts they say became immediately due. The company strongly disputes these allegations. as explained in court filings each of the alleged defaults turns on contested facts the company has at all times active in good faith and under active board supervision to manage liquidity and preserve enterprise value we have also asserted counterclaims against the plaintiffs and third-party individuals on january 20 2026 as part of the litigation process, the note holders conducted a foreclosure auction involving the ProFarm Group Inc. collateral. A note holder affiliated entity was the only qualified bidder and acquired the assets through a $15 million credit bid. We believe and continue to argue in litigation that the foreclosure was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and we have asserted counterclaims challenging the process. The case remains in its early stages and the company intends to continue both our active defense against noteholders' allegations and the pursuit of our affirmative claims. While we remain confident in our legal position, I would remind listeners that my statements regarding the litigation are subject to the usual disclaimers regarding forward-looking statements and that actual results may defer materially the company intends to continue updating shareholders regarding material developments in the litigation through appropriate disclosures including where applicable reports on form 6k and jose please now turn to slide number five for an introduction to sql cimmer marger who joined us as cfo at the beginning of the year sql comes to us after a nearly 20-year career in

Ezequiel, welcome. Now turning the call over to you to discuss the accounting impact of the Profarm foreclosure as well as the quarter's financial performance for our continuing operations.

Thank you Federico for the introduction and good morning everyone. It is great to be here in my first turning call with Bioseres. Let's begin with slide 6 which as Federico mentioned detailed the impact of the January 2026 foreclosure auction involving the pro farm group on our financials as a result of the foreclosure process the pro farm business was classified as discontinued operations and its assets and the abilities were reclassified accordingly in our financial statements based on the expected proceed from the foreclosure auction the company recognized a non-cash impairment and loss associated with the transaction during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. In total, approximately $194 million of the net assets associated with the profound business was recognized or reclassified. After considering the $15 million credit bid submitted by note holders, this results in accumulated non-cash loss of approximately 179 million. The largest impact were reductions in intangible assets and goodwill, together with reductions in property, plant and equipment and working capital balance. These were partially upset by the de-recognition of liabilities associated with the profound group business. These impacts were recognized in the second quarter and are reflected in the current balance sheet presentations now let's walk through the financial results for the quarter and first let me remind you that all financial results discussed below reflect the company's continuing operation for all periods presented and previous years amount have been recast to exclude the perform group business unless otherwise noted let's turn to slide seven to begin looking at revenues Total revenues for the quarter were 39.4 million, representing a 23% decline versus the same period last year. Before discussing the segments, I think it's important to remember that the fiscal third quarter is usually the lowest quarter for our continuous operation, particularly following the pro farm foreclosure auction and the resulting reduction in North America operations. This quarter typically coincides with lower planting and harvesting activities in the southern hemisphere, meaning that fluctuations in demand, pricing and products mix tend to have a more visible impact on quarterly performance. Looking at segments performance, we saw a mixed dynamic across the portfolio. In crop protections, revenue were 24.6 million, down 18% year-over-year. The decline was mainly driven by softened demand and competitive pressure in certain categories, particularly in adjuvants and third-party products in Argentina. We also continue to see inventory adjustments across the tuition channel, which affected purchasing activity. In third-party products, pricing pressure in post-patent categories also weighted on revenues. In seeds and integrated products, revenues declined 71% year-over-year. This continues the trend we've seen over the last several quarters as downstream seeds and grain sales are phased out as part of the strategic shift towards a more asset-light and lower working capital-intense model in seeds. As we've discussed before, this transition reduced reported revenues in the near term while also lowering exposure to lower margin and more working capital-intense activity. Cropnutrition was the one segment that posted growth during the quarter, with revenues increased 15% year-over-year to $11.6 million. Growth was mainly driven by micro-bidded fertilizer supported by a low comparable base and stronger demand dynamics during the quarter amid global supply and pricing uncertainties associated with geopolitical tensions overall renews performance during the quarter reflect a combination of softer market conditions in certain categories together with our ongoing portfolio transition effect moving now to gross profit on slide eight gross profit for the quarter was 12.7 million compared to 18.1 millions in the same period last year representing a 30 percent year-over-year decline the decline was relatively broad based across the three segments in crop protection gross profit performance largely mirrored the decline in revenues margins across the different product categories were generally stable although overall segment margin came down from 37 to 35 percent mainly due to the lower contribution from achievements within in the mix this quarter. In seeds and integrated products, growth profit declined in absolute terms, but significantly less than revenues. As a result, gross margin improved from 19% to 30%, reflecting a more favorable mix, with a higher relative contribution from seeds treatment packs versus downstream grain sales. Finally, crop nutrition gross profit declined 38%, despite higher revenues. The main driver here was obsolete adjustments related to inoculants following an update inventory assessment during this quarter. Excluding this adjustment, underlying profitability in the inoculants business remained broadly stable year over year. Overall, gross margin declined from 35% to 32%, reflecting lower revenues, product mixed effects, and inoculants adjustments disclosed above. Excluding that non-recruiting adjustment, underlying gross margin performance remains broadly in line with the pre-year period. Now, let's please turn to slide 9 for a review of the adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative 0.6 million compared to positive 9.1 million in the pre-year quarter. When looking at this year-over-year comparison, it is important to separate a couple of non-recurrent items affecting comparability across periods. First, the pre-year quarter included approximately $7.7 million of non-recurrent other income associated with changes in contractual obligations and intellectual property arrangements as part of the recognition reorganization in seats. The absence of that income had a significant impact on cooperability versus last year. Second, during the current quarter, crop nutrition results were impacted by a non-recurrent inoculant obsolescence adjustment associated with an updated inventory assessment. Looking beyond these items, underlying operations performance reflect lower gross profit across part of the business, particularly in crop protection, although the iteration was partially upset by continuous progress on cost control organizational streamlined initiatives. These actions resulted in an even full reduction in operation expense during the quarter, while joint ventures result also improved year over year and provided an additional positive contribution to EBITDA. Finally, let's turn to slide Slide number 10, to review our balance sheet, cash position, and a brief update on the debt situation. As of March 31, 2026, total financial debt stood at approximately 229 million, broadly stable compared to the previous quarter. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled approximately 14 million, resulting in a net financial debt of approximately 214 million, also stable on a sequential basis. One important point to highlight is that following the acceleration notice received in connection with the noteholder situation discussed earlier in the call, substantially all of the related debt is currently classified as short-term in our balance sheet presentation. As Federico and Jose previously noted, the company continues to dispute both the purported acceleration of the notes and the commercial reasonable of the pro farm for closer action. These matters remain subject to ongoing legal proceeding and the company intends to continue vigorously defending its position and pursuing its claim and contract claims in the litigation. At the same time, we continue to evaluate constructive alternatives and maintaining dialogue with relevant stakeholders where appropriate. As Erico mentioned earlier, we are also advancing a reprofiling process for risk of active debt obligation in Argentina, including voluntary maturity extensions, discussions with bondholders, and continued coordination with key banking partners.

More broadly, management remains highly focused on liquidity preservation, working capital discipline, and tighter capital allocation across the organization as we continue to stabilize the platform and improve financial flexibility over time with that i will turn the call back over to federico thank you thanks ezekiel and please turn to slide 11 our final slide for today while market conditions in several areas of our business remain challenging and the effects of the transitioning seats continue to wait on reported results we are increasingly focused on strengthening the fundamentals of the organization and prioritizing discipline execution across the business during the quarter we continued advancing initiatives aimed at simplifying the organization improving operational efficiency strengthening working capital management and improving cash generation while advancing liability management initiatives across key operating subsidiaries. In parallel, we are reinforcing governance and internal processes and conducting a strategic review of our continuing operations, including initiatives focused on organizational streamlining and capital allocation optimization to ensure that capital management attention and resources remain aligned with the areas where we believe we can create the greatest long-term value. We recognize the uncertainty generated by the ongoing litigation. While we continue to pursue the appropriate legal course and evaluate constructive alternatives where possible, our priority remains clear. Stabilizing the business, preserving the value of our core operations, and positioning the company for a more resilient and sustainable future. With that, I think we can now turn the call over to Q&A.

Thank you. Good morning. I did miss the first few minutes of the presentation, but I think you can go on to add some information What are you doing with regard to collections? It looks like you've made some progress on reducing receivables, but it's hard to tell given the restatements, you know, where you stand currently on that initiative.

Hi, Kem. Thanks for joining us today. It's good to hear you. I will pass that question over to Ezequiel, and first I'll say that we're emphasizing, obviously reducing receivables and advancing collections to prioritize liquidity and keep working capital discipline but Ezequiel might be able to provide more coloring to this.

Hi Kemp, a pleasure. Two angles first is we have been working on, let's say, giving alternatives to our customers to advance the receivables with some type of incentive. And on the other side, we have been working on new sales being done in lower sell period by giving some attracting to shorter terms that are more common to the to the industry okay what what was operating cash flow for the um quarter and then year to date no we can we can then provide that the after so yeah we we don't have the number the exact number here but we can provide that
