21Q15The Farming and Land Transformation businesses’ Adjusted EBITDA in 1Q15 was $23.1 million, compared to $35.9 million in 1Q14. This decrease is primarily explained by: (i) a $25.1 million decrease in margins generated by our Crops segment as a result of lower corn, soybean and wheat prices, which was partially offset by higher crop yields and an $8.8 million gain ($3.7 million unrealized) from the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position, compared to a $12.5 million loss in 1Q14; and (ii) a $7.8 million reduction in margins from our Rice segment, resulting from lower rice yields due to above average rains and cloudy days during the development of the crop, coupled with an increase in production costs measured in USD driven by the appreciation of the Argentine peso in real terms.The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business underwent its annual inter-harvest maintenance of industrial and agricultural equipment during the first quarter of 2015. Accordingly, 1Q15 Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects the sale of sugar and ethanol inventories as well as a portion of the ethanolproduced during March, the expenses incurred in sugarcane harvest, maintenance and treatment, overhead expenses and derivative hedge results.Adjusted EBITDA during 1Q15 reached $17.9 million, $14.1 million higher year-over-year. Financial performance in 1Q15 was enhanced by: (i) our ethanol carry strategy executed since August 2014, which allowed us to increase ethanol sales volumes by 37% compared to 1Q14 and capture higher off-season prices; (ii) a 61.7% increase in TRS per hectare driven by improvements in agricultural management; (iii) an accelerated start of the milling season that allowed us to crush 460.1 thousand tons of sugarcane compared to 45.2 thousand in 1Q14, resulting in 14x production growth and improved net sales and margins; and (iv) a $12.3 million gain ($9.7 million unrealized) resulting from the mark-to-market of our sugar derivative hedge position, contrasted by a $1.4 million loss in 1Q14. Despite a 12.6% increase in energy exports, results in the quarter were partially offset by lower year-over-year energy spot prices as a result of the new price cap set by the government.Net Income in 1Q15 was $13.8 million, $11.2 million higher than in 1Q14. Net income during the quarter was enhanced by (i) a $12.3 million unrealized gain from Changes in Fair Value of our sugarcane plantation driven by the natural growth experienced by sugarcane plantation during 1Q15, compared to a $3.4 million loss in 1Q14; and (ii) a $2.3 million year-over-year decrease in income tax. Net income was negatively affected by a $13.2 million foreign exchange loss, compared to a $3.9 million loss in 1Q14, explained by the 20.8% devaluation of the Brazilian Reais in 1Q15.Market OverviewCorn, soybean and wheat prices have been driven by bearish USDA quarterly reports regarding US stocks and acreage estimations for 2015/16 crop, coupled with the appreciation of the US dollar. We have entered into the US weather market and conditions in the northern hemisphere will a be key driver to follow in the coming months. In addition, historical high South American soybean production has shifted demand from the Northern Hemisphere, reducing support for CBOT prices.The first quarter of 2015 was marked by the end of the 2014/15 harvest in the Brazilian Center-South region. According to UNICA, the 2014/15 harvest reached a total crushing volume of 571.3 million tons, a 4.3% decrease over the previous year. In 1Q15, raw sugar prices continued to fall, settling at 11.93 US cents/lb on March, 31, 2015 (the lowest price level since January 2009). Energy spot prices throughout the quarter were traded at 388.48 BRL/MWh (the maximum rate authorized by the government) due to the low storage levels of Brazilian water reservoirs. Ethanol prices were 10.0% above the previous quarter, but 3.0% below the previous year, as a consequence of the high level of

 

 
 

31Q15inventories in the Brazilian Center-South region. Nevertheless, higher gasoline prices (due to the tax changes implemented by the government) helped to boost hydrous consumption by 18.5% year-over-year, leading to a positive outlook for the 2015 ethanol market.Strategy ExecutionCommencement of 2014/15 Sugarcane HarvestOur sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul had an accelerated start of milling and harvesting operations as part of a production strategy to extend the harvest period. The Angelica mill began crushing on March 11, 15 days ahead of last season, and the Ivinhema mill began on March 16, 40 days earlier than the previous season.In an industry with very high mechanization and high fixed cost structure, extending the milling season will allow us to increase sugarcane crushing and production, dilute fixed costs and enhance operating margins.Maintenance of industrial equipment and sugarcane plantations was successfully performed between January and early March. Our cluster has a sufficient supply of cane and is expected to crush at very close to nominal capacity. Our agricultural and industrial teams have undergone a thorough training process and are set to enhance operational and productive efficiencies throughout the year.Capital ExpendituresConsolidated capex spending is expected to slow down appreciably in 2015, driven by the completion of our sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul. Capital expenditures are expected to reach between $150 and $170 million during the year, compared to $324 million the previous year. As of today, no major growth capex has been committed for 2016 onwards. Therefore, capex will consist primarily on maintenance related to the Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business, including sugarcane renewal and off-season maintenance of industrial facility and agricultural machinery.In 1Q15: capex decreased 54.4% year-over-year, from $137.8 million in 1Q14 to $62.8 million

Adecoagro’s ownedcroppable area, which is the area that provides the highest EBITDA contribution, has decreased by 7.1% as aresult of the farm sales in 2014. Leased area, which is an opportunistic business driven by return on investedcapital, has increased by 7.9%. Driven by crop rotation adjustments and favorable weather for wheat in thenorth west of Argentina, double crop area (wheat followed by a soy 2nd crop) has also increased by 34.1%.As of the end of April 2015, harvest operations for most of our crops are well underway, with 61.6% of totalplanted area already harvested, as further described below:Soybean: As of the end of April 2015, we harvested 59.0% of the soybean crop. We are on schedule andabove budget. Moderate and timely rains from January through March have allowed the crop to developabove expectations. We have currently obtained yields of 3.1 tons per hectare, 6.1% above the previousyear. The completion of the harvest season is expected to conclude by mid-May and we expect final yields tobe above the previous harvest season.Soybean 2nd crop: The harvest of second crop soybean started during mid-April 2015 but the bulk of theharvest will occur mid-May. Total area harvested as of the end of April 2015 was of 10,414 hectares.Favorable weather has allowed the crop to develop above expectations, obtaining yields of 2.1 tons perhectare, 6.1% above the 2013/14 season. As we continue to harvest the crop we expect an increase in yieldscompared to the previous harvest year.Corn: As of the end of April 2015, the harvested area for early corn totaled 7,625 hectares or 23.5% of thetotal planted area. Seeking to diversify our crop risk and manage water requirements, approximately 24.0%of the corn was planted early in September and 76.0% was planted late during the end of November andFarming BusinessOperating Performance

 

 
 

51Q15December 2014. The early corn located in our most productive farms, produced yields significantly above budget, favored by excellent weather conditions. By contrast, in our farms located in the north east of Argentina, early corn production was offset by excess rainfall during December 2014 and a drought during January 2015, which occurred during the flowering or critical growth stage. The late corn areas have received an adequate amount of rainfall allowing the crop to develop above expectations. In aggregate, we expect corn yields to be above the previous harvest year, which shows the benefits of the early-late balance in our corn planting strategy.Wheat: As of December 31, 2014, the harvest of wheat was completed with 37,019 hectares harvested. Average yield for the wheat crop was 2.3 tons per hectare, 12.9% lower than the previous harvest year due to a higher proportion of area being planted in the north of Argentina which tends to result in lower yields. Planting for the 2015/16 harvest year will begin in May 2015 favored by abundant rainfalls from January to April 2015, which have filled the water table.Sunflower: The harvest of the 12,880 hectares of sunflower began in late December 2014. As of the end of April 2015, 92.3% of sunflower had been harvested yielding an average of 1.9 per hectare, in line with the 2013/14 season.Rice: As of the end of March 2015, the rice harvest was almost completed, reaching 96.2% of total planted area. Harvested yields were 5.3 tons per hectare, 7.0% below the previous harvest year. Supply of water in dams and rivers was sufficient to flood the rice fields throughout the crop's cycle. However, during mid-February through April, higher than normal amount of cloudy and rainy days had a negative impact on yields at some of our farms given that the plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis and plant growth. We expect yields to improve in the upcoming harvest years as we continue with the transformation process and zero-leveling of our rice farms—precise leveling of the land based on GPS and Laser technology, resulting in reduced water irrigation requirements, and lower costs of labor and energy.Cotton: The harvesting of cotton will begin mid May 2015. As we complete the harvest we expect a significant improvement in yields favored by excellent weather conditions.In the Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business, the first three months of the year are commonly known as the inter-harvest season and are a period of warm weather and abundant rainfall. During this season, sugarcane plant growth is stimulated, which leads to less energy being stored by the plant in the form of sugar. As a result, mills suspend their crushing activities while equipment undergoes maintenance in preparation for theSugar, Ethanol & Energy Business Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Selected Production Datametric1Q151Q14Chg %Crushed Cane tons460,12445,182 918.4% Own Cane tons452,51644,404 919.1% Third Party Cane tons7,608777 878.6% Sugar Produced tons22,468- - % Ethanol ProducedM316,5962,103 689.0% Hydrous EthanolM314,0972,103 570.2% Anhydrous EthanolM32,499- - % TRS Equivalent Producedtons51,4853,526 1,360.3% Exported Energy MWh17,18415,257 12.6% Expansion & Renewal Area hectares3,9759,587 (58.5%)Harvested Area hectares6,216663 836.9% Sugarcane Plantation hectares126,866104,897 20.9%

 

 
 

61Q15upcoming harvest year. During the first quarter, mills also focus on the renewal and expansion of their sugarcane plantations.As of March 31, 2015, our sugarcane plantation consisted of 126,866 hectares, representing a 20.9% growth year-over-year. Sugarcane planting continues to be a key strategy to supply our mills with quality raw material at low cost. During 1Q15, we planted a total of 3,975 hectares of sugarcane, 58.5% less hectares than in 1Q14. Of this total area, 1,521 hectares correspond to expansion areas planted to supply additional sugarcane to our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, which is expected to crush close to full capacity during the 2015/16 harvest season; and 2,454 hectares correspond to areas planted to renew old plantations with newer and high-yielding sugarcane, thus allowing us to maintain the productivity of our plantation. During 1Q14 and throughout 2014, we accelerated the expansion of our sugarcane plantation in order to supply our incremental crushing capacity resulting from the construction of the second phase of the Ivinhema mill. During 2015, we anticipate a slowdown in expansion area since we are close to our stabilized plantation size, explaining the decrease sugarcane planting from 1Q14 to 1Q15.As a result of the high rates of mechanization of both agricultural and industrial operations, the proportion of fixed costs has grown to approximately 85% of total costs. Therefore, we are strategically seeking to extend the harvest year, by anticipating the commencement of the season as well as finishing as late as possible. This will allow us to increase sugarcane crushing and production per year, diluting fixed costs and enhancing operational margins.During 1Q15, our operational teams have been able to minimize the time required for the inter-harvest maintenance of industrial and agricultural equipment. As a result, we have been able to anticipate the commencement of milling operations. The Angelica mill began crushing on March 11, 15 days ahead of last season and the Ivinhema mill began on March 16, 40 days earlier than last season. As a result of the early start of harvest, milling during 1Q15 reached 460.1 thousand tons, 918.4% above 1Q14.Measured in terms of TRS/ha, productivity increased 61.7%, reaching 10.7 tons/hectare. This was mainly the result of improved agricultural management, including (i) effective implementation of pest controls, (ii) selection of the best cane varieties for the region, (iii) harvesting sugarcane at its optimum growth cycle; and (iv) our focus on renewing our plantation to maintain its productivity; among others.The combination of better productivity coupled with an earlier start resulted in an increase in sugar and ethanol production, measured in TRS equivalent of 1,360.3%. Energy exports grew by only 12.6% , explained by a delay in the maintenance and fine-tuning of turbo-generators in the cluster, offset by the fact that in 2014 the Angelica mill was turned on March 7 to burn a stockpile of bagasse left over from the previous harvest.

 

 
 

71Q15Adjusted EBIT(2) for the Farming and Land Transformation businesses was $21.3 million in 1Q15, $12.8 million below 1Q14. The 37.4% decrease is primarily the result of (i) lower margins (changes in fair value) in the Crops segment mainly explained by a decrease in commodity prices, which was partially offset by the mark-to-market gain of our hedge position and higher crop yields; (ii) lower margins in the Rice segment as a result of lower productivity per hectare and higher costs in dollar terms; and (iii) a slight decrease in the financial performance of our dairy segment on account of an increase in production costs per liter.(1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 26 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, amortization and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets (sugarcane, coffee and cattle) 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, and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets (sugarcane, coffee and cattle) 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.(2) Adecoagro uses the Adjusted EBIT performance measure rather than Adjusted EBITDA to compare its different farming business. We note that different farming businesses or production models may have more or less depreciation or amortization based on the ownership of fixed assets employed in production. Consequently similar types of costs may be expensed or capitalized. For example, Adecoagro’s farming business in Argentina is based on a “contractor” production model, wherein Adecoagro hires planting, harvesting and spraying services from specialized third party machine operators. This model minimizes the ownership of fixed assets, thus, reducing depreciation and amortization. On the other hand, operating fees are expensed increasing production costs.

As of March 31, 2015, 129,386 hectares had attained significantbiological growth generating Changes in Fair Value of biological assets of $6.1 million, as opposed to $26.6million during 1Q14. Favorable weather throughout the 2014/15 season generated an improvement inexpected yields compared to the 2013/14 season, especially in our soybean and soybean second crop, butwas offset by lower margins on account of the recent decrease in commodity prices.Harvesting operations for our 2014/15 crops are well underway favored by above average weatherconditions. As we complete the harvest we expect to see improvement in yields in most of our crops. A totalof 21,477 hectares of soybean, corn, wheat and sunflower were harvested during 1Q15, generating Changesin Fair Value of agricultural produce of $2.9 million compared to $7.5 million in 1Q14. Results were favoredby higher yields but offset by lower margins on account of the decrease in commodity prices.As a result of these two effects, Total Changes in Fair Value in 1Q15 reached $9.0 million, compared to$34.1 million in 1Q14.Crops

101Q15Despite the growth in sales, Adjusted EBIT during 1Q15 totaled $5.1 million, $6.9 million or 57.4% lower thanin 1Q14. The decrease in performance is primarily explained by lower rice farming margins, reflected in theline item Changes in Fair Value of biological assets and agricultural produce. As you may see in the tablebelow, during the second half of 2014 we planted a total of 35,328 hectares related to the 2014/15 crop,3.5% lower than the 2013/14 crop primarily as a result of the sale of the San Agustin farm during 4Q13.During 1Q15 we harvested 31,183 hectares, generating Changes in Fair Value of $4.7 million, compared to$12.5 million generated in 1Q14. A total of 2.5 thousand hectares remain yet to be harvested during thesecond quarter. The $7.8 million decrease in Changes in Fair Value was driven by a 7.0% decrease inharvested yields year-over-year (from 5.7 tons/ha in 2013/14 to 5.3 tons/ha in 2014/15). The fall in yields isprimarily explained by excess rains and cloudy days during the development and growth of the rice plants.Margins were also negatively affected by the fact that domestic inflation rates outpaced the devaluation of theArgentine peso, resulting in higher costs in USD terms (costs in 1Q14 had been positively affected by a 23%devaluation of the Argentine peso in January 2014).Rice - Changes in Fair Value Breakdown1Q15 metric Rice2014/15 harvest yearTotal Planted Area Plan Hectares 35,328Planted area in initial growing stages Hectares -Planted area with significant biological growth Hectares 2,584Area to be planted Hectares -Changes in Fair Value 1Q15 from planted area 2014/15 with significantbiological growth (i)$ thousands 40Area harvested in 4Q14 Hectares 1,562Area harvested in 1Q15 Hectares 31,183Changes in Fair Value 1Q15 from harvested area in 2014/15 (ii) $ thousands 4,676Total Changes in Fair Value in 1Q15 (i+ii) $ thousands 4,717We expect operational and financial performance to continue improving over the next 3 years as we stabilizethe recently developed areas, increase planted area through land transformation, and complete theimplementation of zero-level technology over most of our planted area.

 

 
 

111Q15Milk production reached 20.3 million liters in 1Q15, 5.2% higher than 1Q14. This increase is attributable to a2.3% increase in our dairy cow herd driven by enhanced reproduction efficiencies at our two free-stall dairyfacilities; and heightened by a 2.8% increase in cow productivity. Average productivity grew from 33.5 litersper cow per day in 1Q14 to 34.4 liters in 1Q15. We expect productivity to continue increasing gradually to ourtarget of 36 liters per cow per day as the operation stabilizes and cows adapt to the new productive system.Milk prices during the quarter increased 1.9%, which coupled with an increase in productivity and beef sales,resulted in a 13.9% growth in gross sales, from $7.1 million in 1Q14 to $8.1 million in 1Q15.Despite the growth in productivity and sales, Adjusted EBIT reached $1.3 million, marking a 6.8% decreaseover 1Q14.

During these summer months, due to favorable climaticconditions, sugarcane growth is stimulated and mills suspend their harvesting and crushing activities in orderto undergo maintenance of industrial equipment and agricultural machinery in preparation for the upcomingharvest year. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter mainly reflects the sales of sugar and ethanolinventories, expenses incurred in sugarcane crop production, derivative hedge results, G&A expenses,among others.As shown in the table above, net sales in 1Q15 reached $50.5 million, 4.3% above 1Q14. Gross Profit fromManufacturing Activities increased 1.7%, from $18.5 million in 1Q14 to $18.8 million in 1Q15. The increase innet sales and gross profit was primarily driven by: (i) the ethanol carry commenced during mid 2014 with thestrategy of building inventories to sell at higher prices during the off-season. As a result of this strategy,ethanol sales volumes in 1Q15 increased by 37%; and (ii) the early start of the harvest which resulted insignificant growth in sugarcane crushing, production and ethanol sales volumes during the quarter.Adjusted EBITDA during 1Q15 reached $17.9 million, $14.1 million or 370.3% higher than 1Q14. AdjustedEBITDA margin grew from 7.9% in 1Q14 to 35.5% in the current quarter.

We currently have approximately 90% ofour 2015/16 production hedged at an average price of 15.7 US cents per pound.In 1Q15, we engaged in the commercialization of 10,327 sugar tons from third parties. Although thesetransactions contribute positively to our overall profitability, EBITDA margins for this type of transactions areconsiderably lower than the margins from core production. Adjusted EBITDA margin net of thecommercialization transactions would have reached 38.8%, 330 bps above reported margin.The table below reflects the breakdown of net sales for the Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business.Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Net Sales Breakdown (1)$ thousands Units ($/unit)1Q15 1Q14 Chg % 1Q15 1Q14 Chg % 1Q15 1Q14 Chg %Sugar (tons) 13,814 12,935 6.8% 34,991 34,246 2.2% 395 378 4.5%Ethanol (cubic meters) 35,062 32,445 8.1% 79,424 57,968 37.0% 441 560 (21.1%)Energy (Mwh) 1,672 3,071 (45.6%) 17,184 15,257 12.6% 97 201 (51.7%)TOTAL 50,549 48,451 4.3%1) Net Sales are calculated as Gross Sales net of ICMS, PIS, CONFINS, INSS and IPI taxes.Sugar sales volumes grew slightly year-over-year, mainly driven by the commercialization of sugar from thirdparties. Our average realized sugar price during the quarter was 4.5% higher than 1Q14, resulting in a 6.8%increase in net sales.As explained above, ethanol sales volumes increased 37.0% in 1Q15 compared to 1Q14, mainly driven byour carry strategy since mid 2014 and also due to the early start of the current milling season. Despite lowerethanol prices in 1Q15 compared to 1Q14, 4.6% in BRL and 21.1% in USD, ethanol prices wereapproximately 20% higher than what they were in mid 2014 when we started our carry strategy. Higherethanol volume sold more than offset the decrease in prices, resulting in an 8.1% increase in net sales.In the case of energy, sales volumes grew 12.6% year-over-year, positively affected by the early start of thecrushing season. However, energy prices were negatively affected by a measure implemented by theBrazilian National Energy Agency (Aneel) on November 25, 2014, by which the ceiling price of electricity wasreduced from 822 BRL/MWh.83 to 388.48 BRL/MWh. As a result, our realized energy prices, compared to1Q14, decreased by 34.5% in BRL and a 51.7% in USD, resulting in a 45.6% drop in net sales.Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Industrial indicatorsmetric 1Q15 1Q14 Chg %Milling Cluster thousand tons 460,124 42,263 988.7%Milling UMA thousand tons - - -Milling Total thousand tons 460,124 42,263 988.7%Own sugarcane % 98.3% 98.3% 0.1%Sugar mix in production % 45.6% 0.0% - %Ethanol mix in production % 54.4% 100.0% (45.6%)Exported energy per ton crushed KWh/ton 38.9 361.0 (89.2%)Milling operations at Angelica and Ivinhema began on March 11 and March 16, 16 and 40 days respectivelyahead of the previous seasons.

The mix favored ethanol in order to capture the higher prices from the endof the inter-harvest season.Exported energy per ton crushed reached 38.9 Kwh/ton compared to 361.0 Kwh/ton in 1Q14. This decreaseis explained by: (i) the excess stockpile of bagasse that was carried from 2013 to be burned during the offseasonat the beginning of 2014. Therefore, we produced and sold energy without having to crushsugarcane, improving the cogen ratio; and (ii) delays in the start of Angelica’s #3 and Ivinhema’s #1 & #2generators. The bagasse that was not burned during 1Q15 is stored and will be transformed into energythroughout the year.Agricultural Produce - Productive Indicatorsmetric 1Q15 1Q14 Chg %Harvested own sugarcane thousand tons 452,516 42,263 970.7%Harvested area Hectares 6,216 659 843.8%Yield tons/hectare 90.7 64.2 41.3%TRS content kg/ton 117.9 103.0 14.5%TRS per hectare kg/hectare 10,689 6,610 61.7%Mechanized harvest % 100.0% 100.0% - %The table above shows productive indicators related to our owned sugarcane production (“AgriculturalProduce”) which is planted, harvested and then transferred to our mills for processing.Harvested own sugarcane experienced a significant increase of 970.7% compared to 1Q14 mainly driven by(i) the expansion of the Ivinhema mill and related sugarcane plantation; and (ii) the early start of the harvestseason.In 1Q15, we experienced a 41.3% increase in sugarcane yields, coupled with a 14.5% increase in TRS,resulting in a 61.7% increase in TRS/ha. This growth was the result of our focus on improving our agriculturaloperations. Examples include: (i) effective implementation of pest controls, (ii) utilization of best canevarieties for the region, (iii) harvesting the cane at its optimum growth cycle; and (iv) the renewal of thesugarcane plantation. Sugarcane productivity was also positively affected by favorable weather conditionsduring the growth season.We expect sugarcane yields and TRS content to increase as we reach our full utilization of nominal capacityin our 9.0 million ton cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul.

These areas are not considered for calculating$/hectare.Changes in Fair Value of Agricultural Produce (realized) in 1Q15 was negative $4.3 million, compared tonegative $5.9 million in 1Q14. The change was mainly a result of the increase in harvested sugarcane, from184.4 thousand tons harvested in 1Q14 to 551.8 thousand tons in 1Q15. This increase was driven by theearly start of the milling season coupled with higher sugarcane yields, and partially offset by lower sugarcaneprices.Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets (unrealized) in 1Q15 was positive $12.3 million compared tonegative $3.4 million in 1Q14. The gain in 1Q15 was primarily driven by the natural growth cycle of thesugarcane plantation during the inter-harvest. Warm temperatures and good rains during the first quarter,coupled with the fact that there is no harvest during January and February, allows sugarcane to increase itsyield and thus its fair value per hectare. The depreciation of the Brazilian currency caused a decline in thevalue from 2,335 $/hectare to 1,996 $/hectare.Total Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce was a $8.0 million gain compared toa $9.3 million loss in 1Q14.Corporate ExpensesCorporate Expenses$ thousands 1Q15 1Q14 Chg %Corporate Expenses (5,197) (4,968) (4.6%)Adecoagro’s Corporate expenses include items that have not been allocated to a specific business segment,such as executive officers and headquarters staff, certain professional fees, travel expenses, and office leaseexpenses, among others.

This higher loss is primarilyexplained by an acceleration of the devaluation rate of the Brazilian Reais which depreciated 20.8% in1Q15 compared to a 3.4% appreciation in 1Q14; and(ii) offset by a $1.1 million or 9.5% decrease in interest expenses in 1Q15, resulting from the depreciationof the Brazilian Reais during 1Q15.(1) Effective July 1, 2014, Adecoagro formally documented and designated cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable futuresales in US dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in US dollars and foreign currency forward contracts. Cash flow hedge accounting permits that gains and losses arisingfrom the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments not be immediately recognized in profit or loss, but be reclassified fromequity to profit or loss in the same periods during which the future sales occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting Adecoagro's RiskManagement Policy.

From a seasonality point of view, the first quarter is the one that requires the highestworking capital investment, since all of our crops are planted and most costs incurred, but only a smallamount of the crops are harvested and sold. As we continue harvesting throughout the second and thirdquarter we expect to reduce working capital invested and debt. On a year-over-year basis, debt decreased by23.5% or $ 33.3 million.In the Sugar and Ethanol business, debt increased by 9.5% or $58.4 million quarter-over-quarter and 3.2% or$21.0 million year-over-year primarily to finance the construction of the second phase of the Ivinhema mill,which added 3.0 million tons of additional crushing capacity.Cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2015, stood at $198.3 million, 74.2% higher than 4Q14 explained bythe syndicated loan we entered with ING and Rabobank in an amount equal to $160.0 million to finance thefinal tranche of the Ivinhema mill. Year-over-year cash and cash equivalents fell by 19.9% explained by theamortization of debt in the sugar business.As a result of these effects net debt remained essentially unchanged quarter-over-quarter and increased6.8% compared to 1Q14.As you can see in the charts in the bottom, on a consolidated basis our debt maturity profile currently standsat 75.0% in the long term and 25.0% in the short term.

201Q15Adecoagro’s capital expenditures during 1Q15 totaled $62.8 million, 54.4% lower than 1Q14. The decrease ismainly explained by a reduction in capex related to the expansion of our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business.The construction of the second phase of the Ivinhema mill, which began during early 2014, is almostcomplete and should be fully finalized during May 2015.Regarding the Farming and Land Transformation businesses, total capital expenditures during 1Q15increased by $4.2 million to $6.2 million, mainly driven by expenditures related to land transformationprojects. The most relevant project is the construction of a reservoir for irrigation in our Ita Caabo farm andtransformation of cattle land, located in the north east of Argentina, which will allow us to expand our riceproduction area by 6,000 hectares.Consolidated capex spending is expected to slowdown in 2015, due to the completion of the cluster, and isexpected to reach between $150 and $170 million. As of today, no major growth capex has been committedfor 2016, therefore it will consist primarily on maintenance related to the Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business.Capital Expenditures & InvestmentsInventoriesCapital Expenditures & Investments$ thousands 1Q15 1Q14 Chg %Farming & Land Transformation 6,180 1,965 214.6%Land Acquisitions - - -Land Transformation 4,380 276 1,484.5%Rice Mill 239 423 (43.5%)Dairy Free Stall Unit 136 625 (78.3%)Others 1,425 640 122.7%Sugar, Ethanol & Energy 56,653 135,792 (58.3%)Sugar & Ethanol Mills 46,711 110,662 (57.8%)Sugarcane Planting 9,942 25,130 (60.4%)Total 62,833 137,756 (54.4%)End of Period InventoriesProduct Metric 1Q15 1Q14 % Chg 1Q15 1Q14 % ChgSoybean tons 17,333 100,887 (82.8%) 3,904 3,879 0.6%Corn (1) tons 52,375 12,856 307.4% 6,235 1,932 222.6%Wheat (2) tons 61,873 25,840 139.4% 5,177 5,099 1.5%Sunflower tons 11,761 13,105 (10.3%) 4,441 5,065 (12.3%)Cotton lint tons 889 - - % 1,251 - - %Rough Rice(3) tons 134,964 170,120 (20.7%) 31,951 39,706 (19.5%)Sugar tons 25,634 17,599 45.7% 4,729 4,188 12.9%Ethanol m3 30,326 17,645 71.9% 11,201 9,931 12.8%(1) Includes sorghum.(2) Includes barley.(3) Expressed in rough rice equivalentVolume thousand $

241Q15Rice:In Thailand, rice prices fell by only 1.5%.; which is significantly less than what it was observed in recent months. The market was quite active with sales exceeding 800,000 tons against 735,000 tons in February. These register a delay of 3.0% over the first quarter of 2014. The government expects to sell 10Mt in 2015 from 17Mt of reserves accumulated since 2011. But it is unlikely that this goal is reached because of the lack of an additional demand which could absorb this excess supply of rice. In addition, massive supply could cause a new drop in world prices; which is what international exporters mostly fear.In Vietnam, prices remained relatively firm for a market that is facing difficulties. Vietnam is facing strong competition, due to the excess Thai supply in the African market, where sales decreased by 60.0% in 2014, compared to 2013. However, export forecasts indicate an increase compared to 2014, reaching around 6.7Mt, of which 2 Mt would enter illegally into China through borders. In early April, the Viet 5.0% rice was relatively stable at $ 365/ton .In India, the export prices of high quality rice fell 2.0%. In contrast, low quality rice remained stable. The Indian authorities are trying to reinvigorate exports, especially towards Africa, where sales have strongly decreased because of the massive return of exports from Thailand. India expects to send trade delegations and promote non-aromatic rice in Africa. For now, it is estimated that the total exports from India could decrease 15.0% in 2015. In March, the Indian 5.0% rice was at $ 385/ton against $ 390 in February.In Pakistan, export prices were relatively stable and even firm by late March at values for Paki 5.0% rice at $330/ton. Prospects for 2015 indicate a possible increase in foreign sales due to more abundant supply.In the United States, export prices decreased by 1.5%. Exports were larger, reaching 285,000 tons in March against 190,000 tons in February. Exports register a delay of 20.0% over the first quarter of 2014. The indicative price for the 2/4 Long Grain milled rice was at $ 505 /ton against $ 515 / ton in February. By early April, prices were stable.In South America, the FOB average price for high-quality milled rice was $540 per ton during 1Q15, compared to an average of $600 in 1Q14 and $575 in 4Q14.Sugar and Ethanol:Sugar: Raw sugar prices continued to move lower in 1Q15, settling at 11.93 cl/lb on March 31, 2015, the lowest price level since January 2009. Sugar prices were on average 14.09 c/lb, a decrease of 14.0% when compared to the same period last year, and 11.0% lower than prices in 4Q14. Sugar prices started the year on a strong note, rising close to 16.00 c/lb in the second half of January 2015. This rally was driven by a combination of factors: (i) the announcement by the Brazilian government for the reinstatement of the CIDE tax on gasoline; (ii) the fact that during the first half of January rain levels in the center south region of Brazil were significantly below historical levels; and (iii) the strength of the BRL during the period. These three factors drove funds to liquidate their sizable net short positions. However, prices decreased once again in February and March, reaching 6 years lows. The rainfalls returned to the Center South region favoring the next Brazil crop; production in Thailand and India were also confirmed to be bigger than previously expected and the Indian government finally announced that it would place subsidies on its exports of sugar. In addition, the BRL

 

 
 

251Q15collapsed to a 12 year low, and associated with the weak fundamentals, lead funds to increase their net short position to historical highs.Ethanol: Ethanol prices started the year on a positive trend, driven by the reinstatement of the CIDE tax and the increase of the PIS/COFINS taxes on gasoline. In March, however, high inventories levels and the imminent end of the harvest season pressured ethanol prices, leading to a 2.5% and 3.4% year-over-year respective decrease in hydrous and anhydrous prices according to the Esalq index. However, compared to the previous quarter, there was a price increase in both hydrous and anhydrous price, increasing by 9.7% and 10.0% respectively. As reported by UNICA, the total ethanol consumption during 1Q15 was 8.7% higher than 1Q14 and 3.0% higher than 4Q14. The increase in consumption was primarily driven by a 18.5% year-over-year increase in hydrous prices boosted by the changes in the gasoline taxes.Energy: Energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil during 1Q15 were below 4Q14, as a result of the recent changes implemented by the government to reduce the ceiling price. Nevertheless as a result of the summer drought of 2014, which resulted in extremely low water levels in hydropower reservoirs, prices during the first quarter of 2015 were significantly above the historical average. In January, February and March 2015 the prices stood at the ceiling price, reaching 388,48BRL/MWh. Despite having rains during the quarter which managed to fill up some of the southeast reservoirs, the rains were not enough causing reservoir levels to stand at 27.6% compared to 36.3% in the same period of the previous year. As a result we expect prices to remain close to the ceiling price.

 

 
 

261Q15We define Adjusted EBITDA for each of our operating segments as the segment’s share of consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before depreciation and amortization and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets and adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations and by 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 minority interests in subsidiaries”.We define Adjusted EBIT for each of our operating segments as the segment’s share of consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets and adjusted by profit from discontinued operations and by 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 “Reserve from the sale of minority interests in subsidiaries”.We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are for the Company and each operating segment, respectively important measures of operating performance 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 and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), unrealized changes in fair value of long term biological assets, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial expenses. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities.
