Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $444.3 million in 2024, 6.8% lower than the previous year. We achieved record results in our Rice and Dairy businesses, and marked operational records in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business. However, results were negatively impacted by a year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological assets in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business, coupled with an uneven year-over-year comparison in our Crops business due to farm sales conducted throughout both periods.
NCFO in 2024 stood at $160.9 million, marking an 8.5% year-over-year decrease, resulting in a minimum of $64.4 million to be distributed in 2025 via dividend and share repurchase. Net debt amounted to $522.2 million, in line with the previous year (Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA at 1.2x), while expansion capex reached $104.1 million as we continued to invest in attractive projects across all our operations.

Full Year Results Overview
In 2024, we delivered solid results, in spite of the challenging price scenario for most of our products and the adverse weather conditions that impacted some of our operations. This was possible thanks to the investments we have made throughout the years and our continuous focus on enhancing efficiencies in every stage of the value chain, while focusing on being the lowest cost producer. The commercial strategy in each of our operations enabled us to profit from opportunities that arose in both the export and domestic markets, as well as to leverage our storage capacity to build stocks. For example: (i) we conducted rice sales when both global and domestic supply was limited; (ii) we maximized production of fluid milk for our consumer brand in Argentina given its attractive marginal contribution and our growing presence in the local market; and (iii) we carried over ethanol stocks to profit from better prices in the next quarters.
Consequently, Adecoagro's Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $444.3 million, whereas Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations (NCFO) reached $160.9 million. Shareholder distribution (cash dividend and share repurchase) totaled $101.9 million, $31.5 million above the minimum stated in our policy and marking a 9.4% distribution yield. Expansion capex amounted to $104.1 million as we continued to invest in organic projects with attractive returns across all our operations and to consolidate our assets, while keeping our sustainable and innovative footprint. This was accomplished without compromising our balance sheet structure, as our net debt stood at $522.2 million, reaching 1.2x Net Debt/EBITDA.
Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business
Performance Highlights
Adjusted EBITDA reached $105.3 million during 4Q24, marking a 20.4% year-over-year increase, whereas in 2024 it amounted to $364.2 million, 8.0% lower than the previous year.
(+/-) Annual crushing record of 12.8 million tons despite dry weather. Quarterly crushing down 12.0% year-over-year on lower yields.
(+) Record sugar production and mix (55% in 4Q24 / 52% in 2024). Despite a recovery in domestic ethanol prices, we are carrying over 31% of our 2024 production to profit from higher expected prices.
(+) Cash cost down 8.4% year-over-year to 12.7 cts/lb due to better cost dilution, higher tax recovery on higher ethanol sales and weaker FX, among others.
(-/+) Lower net sales in 4Q24 on lower volumes sold and lower sugar prices in US dollar terms. Annual sales in line with 2023 on higher selling volumes due to higher production.
(-) Year-over-year loss in biological assets (harvested cane) due to lower Consecana prices versus 2023.

Outlook
(+) Despite challenging weather, we are currently crushing and producing sugar and ethanol thanks to our continuous harvest model.
2

bannerera.jpg
(-/+) Although we foresee a slower crushing pace in 1H25 due to lower productivity, we expect to compensate this during 2H25. Thus, we forecast a slight year-over-year increase in crushing volume.
(+) Global sugar market dependent on Brazil's output. Potential upside to spot prices. 2025 sugar production remains open (31% hedged at 20.7 cts/lb). 2024 production sold at 22.5 cts/lb.
(+) Tight supply & demand scenario for ethanol. Prices expected to converge to the 70% parity at the pump. Commercial strategy paid off as we are clearing out our ethanol tanks at higher prices (+32.5% net price increase in Brazilian Real versus the lowest level seen in January 2024).
Farming business
Performance Highlights
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $3.8 million during 4Q24, representing a 72.4% year-over-year decline, whereas for 2024 it reached $103.0 million, in line with the previous year. Excluding the results of the farm sales conducted during 2024 and 2023, Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 was 19.5% higher year-over-year, totaling $87.9 million, reflecting record results for our Rice and Dairy segments.
(+) Year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our biological asset and agricultural produce for our Rice operations (higher prices and area) and Crops (higher yields and area).
(+/-) Higher prices for Dairy and Rice's higher value-added products, despite the latter presenting a downward trend by year-end, as expected.
(+/-) One-off events: Sale of La Pecuaria farm ($15.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA) conducted in 2Q24 and El Meridiano in 3Q23 ($29.8 million in Adjusted EBITDA).
(-) Lower prices for soybean, corn and wheat.
(-) Higher costs in US dollar terms.
Outlook
(-/+) Crops: International prices for our main grains continue to be pressured on greater global supply, while costs are higher in US dollar terms. Crops productivity expected to be in line with historical production due to precipitation throughout the summertime.
(+/-) Rice: Higher expected production on greater productivity and higher planted area. As anticipated, global rice prices declined, but our diversified product portfolio and market flexibility act as a mitigant.
(+) Dairy: Maximizing production for the domestic market. Expected increase in the amount of milk processed by our facilities, as well as new products being launched throughout the year.

ESG Update
Commitment to reach 25% female participation in leadership positions by 2030
As a food and renewable energy producer, we have a key role in meeting the needs of a growing population. Our continuous focus on increasing production while consolidating our business units and growth projects has resulted in a demand for new talent across our operations. We strongly believe that developing actions that promote respect, equal opportunities and career development will make us a better company.
Therefore, we are proud to announce our 2030 commitment to reach at least 25% female participation in leadership positions. By setting this target, we aim to not only meet our business needs but also create a more balanced and inclusive workforce that reflects diverse perspectives and strengthens our organizational culture. As of December 31, 2023, female leaders represented 16% of the Company's workforce.
To achieve this, we have implemented various actions across our business units to contribute toward female inclusion in the workplace:
Women in Agribusiness: we train women from our communities with the goal of offering them employment opportunities.
Leadership: we identify women with potential and provide them training, mentoring and overall support to prepare them for leadership positions.
Communication: we raise awareness on biases that prevent us from including women in our workforce.
Maternity: we accompany women in navigating maternity through mentorship by fellow mothers.
ESG is a cornerstone of our business models and is embedded in our day-to-day decisions. The implementation of a gender diversity target, along with our carbon intensity target announced in March 2024, reinforce our commitment to promote economic and social growth in the communities in which we have a presence, while taking care of the environment and its natural resources.

(1) Does not include 4,360 and 13,313 cubic meters of anhydrous ethanol that were converted by dehydrating our hydrous ethanol stocks during 4Q24 and 12M24, respectively. During 4Q23 and 2023, we dehydrated 28,773 and 81,689 cubic meters of hydrous ethanol.     

On a full year basis, crushing volume reached 12.8 million tons, marking a 2.1% increase compared to the previous year and an all-time record for our mills. Although Brazil's sugarcane production areas experienced lower-than-average rainfalls throughout the year, we saw an increase in our annual crushing figure due to (i) greater sugarcane availability driven by the expansion planting activities conducted in the last years; and (ii) higher crushing of third-party cane. The 34.9% year-over-year increase in sourcing of third-party cane enabled us to mitigate the reduction in crushing volume from own cane, allowing it to be harvested in the upcoming months with better expected productivity. In terms of productivity, our average yield stood at 70 tons per hectare, 12.4% lower than the previous year as a consequence of the decline in precipitation levels, whereas TRS content remained in line at 132 kg/ton.
Focusing on the quarterly figures, crushing volume amounted to 2.6 million tons, 12.0% lower than the same period of last year. The aforementioned dry weather, coupled with our strategic decision to harvest cane with limited growth potential (and thus allow areas with greater potential to continue to grow), were
6

bannerera.jpg
the main drivers toward the 24.2% year-over-year decline in yields to 62 tons per hectare. However, this was partially offset by higher TRS content, which stood at 132 kg/ton.
During 4Q24, average sugar prices traded at a significant premium to both hydrous and anhydrous ethanol in Mato Grosso do Sul (42% and 27%, respectively). Consequently, we maximized sugar production, achieving a 55% mix. Within our ethanol production, 59% was hydrous ethanol, as demand for this type of fuel had been significantly increasing and gaining market share in the Otto cycle. This high degree of flexibility constitutes one of our most important competitive advantages, since it allows us to make more efficient use of our fixed assets and profit from higher relative prices. Moreover, we can dehydrate hydrous ethanol at any time and turn it into anhydrous ethanol, which can be sold either to the domestic or export market, wherever the price premium is better.
On an annual basis, we maximized the production of sugar given its attractive pricing premium over ethanol, as was the case in 2023. Therefore, our production mix stood at 52% sugar (above the mix achieved by Brazil's Center-South region) and 48% ethanol. This resulted in a sugar production of 832 thousand tons, marking a new record for our mills, as well as a 2.0% year-over-year increase in ethanol production due to the increase in total TRS equivalent produced.
Exported energy during the quarter totaled 179,541 MWh, 9.7% lower compared to 4Q23 driven by the decline in crushing. However, we used our stored bagasse to produce energy and profit from the hike in spot prices seen during the period. On a full year basis, exported energy reached 743,488 MWh, marking a 7.1% year-over-year increase. This was mainly explained by (i) the increase in our annual crushing volume, coupled with (ii) the use of stored bagasse to profit from better prices. Consequently, our cogeneration efficiency ratio was up 2.6% year-over-year in 4Q24 and 4.9% in 12M24.

(1) Net Sales are calculated as Gross Sales net of ICMS, PIS COFINS, INSS and IPI taxes; (2) Includes commercialization of energy from third parties; (3) Total Net Sales does not include the sale of soybean, corn and beans planted as cover crop during the implementation of the agricultural technique known as meiosis; (4) Corresponding to the sale of soybean, corn and beans planted as cover crop during the implementation of meiosis. (5) Diesel sold by Monte Alegre Distribuidora (MAC), our own fuel distributor located in UMA mill.

Adjusted EBITDA during 4Q24 was $105.3 million, 20.4% higher than the same period of last year. This was explained by (i) a year-over-year reduction in selling expenses on lower freight costs and lower sugar and ethanol volumes sold; coupled with (ii) an improvement in our sales margin on lower costs. This, in turn, more than offset the year-over-year decline in net sales.
On a full year basis, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $364.2 million, presenting an 8.0% decrease versus last year. Despite year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position, lower EBITDA generation was mainly driven by a $53.3 million year-over-year loss in the mark-to-market of our biological
8

bannerera.jpg
assets. As explained in prior releases, the biological assets line captures the present value of the sugarcane that is going to be harvested in the following 12 months, in addition to the one already harvested. In this case, the year-over-year decrease is mainly explained by a decline in Consecana prices on harvested cane. Results were also negatively impacted by a $4.6 million year-over-year increase in selling expenses on higher taxes due to higher volumes of ethanol sold, coupled with an increase in freight costs on higher volumes of sugar invoiced versus the prior year given the higher production.
Net sales reached $177.9 million during 4Q24, marking a 22.3% year-over-year reduction on lower selling volumes in all our products and lower sugar prices in US dollar terms. On the other hand, annual net sales amounted to $679.6 million, in line with the previous year, mainly explained by higher selling volumes of all our products, which in turn, offset the decline in prices.
In the case of sugar, lower average selling prices throughout the quarter and the year were the main drivers towards the decline in net sales - in 2023 global sugar prices reached record levels. Nevertheless, our average selling price (as seen in the net sales breakdown table) only reflects the average price of the respective Sugar #11 contract as the Company does not perform hedge accounting. Once we incorporated the gain/losses from our commodity derivative financial instruments reported within our Other Operating Income line, our average selling price for the year stood at 22.6 cts/lb versus 23.2 cts/lb in 2023.
Ethanol sales presented a 19.3% year-over-year decline during the quarter due to lower selling volumes on lower quarterly production given the decrease in crushing and our focus on maximizing sugar production. As explained in prior releases, ethanol prices have been recovering month-over-month on strong domestic consumption due to the low parity at the pump versus gasoline. Therefore, our average net selling price expressed in local currency stood at ∼R$2,500/m3 in 4Q24, 17.9% higher than 4Q23, even though in US dollar terms it experienced a slight decline given the depreciation of the Brazilian Real throughout the period. In addition, the average selling price in 4Q23 includes the export of 25.8 thousand cubic meters at an average price of $572/m3 (R$2,844/m3), compared to no exports in 4Q24, adding to an uneven year-over-year comparison.
On a full year basis, ethanol sales were 4.1% higher compared to the same period of last year. This was explained by higher volumes sold of hydrous ethanol which, in turn, fully offset the year-over-year decrease in selling prices in US dollars. During the year, we strategically sold our production in order to profit from peaks in prices, while our tanks remained full as we continue to hold on to our ethanol inventories (31% of our annual production) in order to capture higher expected prices.
Due to the efficiency and sustainability in our operations, ranked among the highest in the industry, we have the right to issue carbon credits (CBio) every time we sell ethanol. During the quarter, we sold $2.5 million worth of CBios, marking a 4.3% year-over-year increase. During 2024, we sold 601,426 CBios, amounting to $8.5 million.
Net sales of energy presented a 14.9% year-over-year increase in 4Q24, as we used our stored bagasse to produce energy to profit from the hike in spot prices explained by the lower reservoir levels. This, in turn, enabled us to book sales at R$480/MWh during the peak of demand. On an annual basis, energy sales experienced a decline versus 2023 due to a combination of lower energy prices and a weaker Brazilian Real, which in turn offset the increase in selling volumes.

(1)Total production cost may differ from our COGS figure as the former refers to the cost of our goods produced, whereas the latter refers to the cost of our goods sold. (2) Excludes the recognition of PIS/COFINS tax credits generated during 4Q24.

Total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization reached 9.0 cts/lb in 4Q24, marking an 8.1% decrease compared to 4Q23. This was mainly explained by (i) a year-over-year decline in the cost of cane from third-parties on lower sourcing; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in leasing costs due to lower Consecana prices; as well as to (iii) a weaker Brazilian Real. On a full year basis, total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization amounted to 8.1 cts/lb, 1.2% lower than the previous year. This was driven by the aforementioned decline in leasing costs, which in turn, offset the increase in cane from third parties on higher sourcing versus 2023. Furthermore, our production cost was positively impacted by a 2.3% year-over-year increase in total TRS equivalent produced due to the increase in crushing volume which enabled us to better dilute our fixed costs, especially agricultural costs that represent roughly 80% of our cost structure. As always, we continue to use concentrated vinasse and filter cake to replace 100% of our potash fertilizer requirements and 48% of total agricultural inputs needs, reducing our sourcing needs.

Total cash cost reflects, on a cash basis, how much it costs us to produce one pound of sugar and ethanol (in sugar equivalent). Maintenance capex is included in the calculation since it is a recurring investment, necessary to maintain the productivity of the sugarcane plantation. As we are calculating sugar and ethanol costs, energy is deemed a by-product and thus deducted from total costs. As for the tax recovery line item, it includes the ICMS tax incentive that the state of Mato Grosso do Sul granted us until 2032.
As shown in the table above, on a yearly basis, total cash cost on a per pound basis reached 12.7 cts/lb, 8.4% lower compared to the previous year. This decline is mainly explained by (i) a 53.4% year-over-year increase in tax recovery due to higher ethanol sales; (ii) lower maintenance capex on lower renewal area; along with (iii) the depreciation of the Brazilian Real which positively impacted our cost structure. Cash cost was also benefited by the 2.3% year-over-year increase in TRS equivalent produced, which in turn, enabled us to better dilute our costs.
All of our efforts are devoted to further enhance efficiencies to continue reducing total cash cost. As we continue ramping up operations in our cluster, cash cost will continue its downward trend as more fixed costs will be diluted.

(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 margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA in our Farming business totaled $3.8 million in 4Q24, marking a 72.4% decrease compared to the same period of last year. Despite an outperformance of our Dairy segment on higher prices of our value added products (mainly in the domestic market), results were fully offset by higher costs in US dollar terms and lower prices for our Crops and Rice businesses. In addition, our Crops business was also negatively impacted by a slight reduction in wheat production due to the dry weather experienced by year-end.
On an annual basis, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $103.0 million, in line with the previous year. Excluding the farm sales conducted during 2024 and 2023 (La Pecuaria farm which booked $15.0 million in 2024 and El Meridiano farm which booked $29.8 million in 2023), Adjusted EBITDA in our Farming business in 2024 marked a 19.5% increase versus the prior year, amounting to $87.9 million. Both our Rice and Dairy businesses achieved record results driven by higher average selling prices, as well as to year-over-year gains in the mark-to-market of our biological assets in the case of our Rice operations. Focusing on Crops, the recovery in yields drove the increase in results, although these were partially offset by higher costs in US dollar terms, lower commodity prices and lower-than-expected productivity for some of our grains.

In 2024, Adjusted EBITDA reached $19.1 million, marking a 29.2% year-over-year reduction. Excluding the Adjusted EBITDA figure generated by the farm sale conducted in 2024 (La Pecuaria farm: $15.0 million) and 2023 (El Meridiano farm: $29.8 million), Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $4.0 million in 2024 compared to negative $2.8 million in 2023. Despite a significant year-over-year recovery in production (mainly soybean, wheat and peanut), results were negatively impacted by (i) lower international commodity prices on higher global supply; (ii) higher costs in US dollar terms; and (iii) lower-than-expected corn production due to the impact of spiroplasma (bacteria transmitted by leafhoppers).
Focusing solely on the quarterly figures, the year-over-year reduction in Adjusted EBITDA is explained by the aforementioned drivers, coupled with lower-than-expected productivity of our winter crops (mainly wheat) due to the dry weather experienced by year-end.

(1) Includes the sale of 1k and 36k tons of white rice sourced from third-parties during 2024 & 2023, respectively (no sourcing during 4Q24 and 4Q23); (2) Expressed in white rice equivalent

Rice sales in 4Q24 marked a 18.4% year-over-year decrease, mainly explained by a reduction in our average selling price to $663/ton. Throughout the quarter, global rice prices experienced a decline as India, the world's largest producer and exporter of rice, came back to the market after the government lifted the export ban on long grain white rice. During 2024, rice sales were 3.2% lower than the previous year. Despite capturing a $120/ton year-over-year increase in our average selling price given the record prices captured during 1Q24, this was partially offset by lower volumes sold due to a delay in the departure of a maritime cargo. Consequently, we are carrying over 45 thousand tons more than the prior year, as the aforementioned sale will be booked during 1Q25 instead.
Adjusted EBITDA reached $50.2 million in 2024, an annual record for the business and 4.8% higher than the previous year. Results were positively impacted by year-over-year gains reported in our biological assets line on higher prices and higher planted area, which in turn, fully offset the increase in costs in US dollar terms and the aforementioned decline in gross sales. Focusing on the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to negative $1.2 million, compared to $8.2 million in 4Q23, explained by higher costs in US dollar terms, coupled with a decline in the price of our carry over stocks which negatively impacted results during the period.

(1) Includes sales of raw milk, processed dairy products, electricity and culled cows; (2) Includes sales of raw milk, fluid milk, powder milk and cheese, among others; (3) The difference between volume processed and volume sold is explained by the sale of raw milk to third parties.
In 4Q24, raw milk production was 50.4 million liters, 2.2% lower compared to the same period of last year. This was explained by a 1.5% decrease in productivity compared to 4Q23, although levels are still strong at 38.0 liters per cow per day. On a full-year basis, total raw milk production amounted to 199.1 million liters, in line with the previous year. We continue enhancing efficiencies in our free-stalls, which are already at full capacity.
At the industry level, we processed 94.2 million liters of raw milk during 4Q24, 2.7% lower than the same period of last year. Out of this volume, approximately 41% came from our dairy farm operations whereas the balance was sourced from local producers in nearby areas or supplied by partners to whom we provide tolling services. In 2024, total processed milk amounted to 354.5 million liters of raw milk, slightly higher than the previous year. We continue working on product development for the domestic and export markets, offering higher value added products as well as commoditized products, and being present across different price tiers with our consumer product brands.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $8.2 million in 4Q24, 38.6% higher compared to the same period of last year, whereas on a full-year basis it reached $33.7 million, marking a 18.4% year-over-year increase and a new record for the business. Results were positively impacted by (i) an increase in sales due to higher average selling prices, as we improved the mix of higher value added products and produced more fluid milk for the domestic market which offered the highest marginal contribution; (ii) our continuous focus on achieving efficiencies in our vertically integrated operations and increasing our productivity levels in every stage of the value chain; and (iii) our flexibility to divert milk to the production of a variety of dairy products, as well as to shift sales across markets.
Adjusted EBIT was $4.5 million and $21.5 million during 4Q24 and 2024, respectively. However, once interest expense and the foreign exchange loss related to the financial debt are considered, the full year results decrease to negative $10.5 million.

Adecoagro’s corporate expenses include items that are not allocated to a specific business segment, such as the remuneration of executive officers and headquarters staff, certain professional services and office lease expenses, among others. Corporate expenses for 4Q24 were $5.8 million, 5.8% higher than the previous year, while in 2024 they amounted to $22.9 million, 2.2% higher year-over-year. In both cases, this reflects the impact in costs from inflation in US dollar terms.

Net Income & Adjusted Net Income
Net income reached $16.2 million and $92.1 million during 4Q24 and 2024, respectively, marking an 80.3% and 59.4% year-over-year reduction.
Nevertheless, once we exclude the impact of foreign exchange variation, as well as inflation accounting effects (all non-cash impacts), Adjusted net income amounted to $45.9 million during the quarter, whereas on an annual basis it reached $202.6 million, $62.3 million and $49.1 million higher year-over-year, respectively. Higher results were mainly explained by tax gains recorded throughout the year ($43.9 million and $135.7 thousand during 4Q24 and 2024, respectively) due to effects of inflation in the income tax calculation in Argentina. This, in turn, fully offset the year-over-year loss in financial results due to a one-time event as 2023 figures reflect financial gains from opportunities that the Argentine financial market offered.

As of December 31, 2024, Adecoagro's net debt amounted to $522.2 million, in line with the previous year. Throughout the year, we have diligently reduced our gross debt and cash as efficiently as possible while looking to finance our operations at the lowest cost. A clear example of this was the improvement in our Liquidity ratio (Cash & Equivalents + Marketable Inventories / Short Term Debt), which stood at 4.5x versus 2.8x reported in 4Q23, as short-term maturities were reduced by 51.9% year-over-year. Furthermore, we were able to finance our operations at attractive rates, which resulted in a significant decline in the amount of interest paid throughout the year ($24.6 million compared to $55.5 million in 2023).
All this was possible thanks to the solid operating results achieved during 2024, which also enabled us to continue investing in growth projects across all our operating segments as well as distributing profits to shareholders, via cash dividend and share repurchases.
Our Net Debt ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) as of 4Q24 was 1.2x, 20.5% lower than the previous quarter, but 11.5% higher year-over-year due to the lower Adjusted EBITDA generated during the last twelve months.
We believe that our balance sheet is in a healthy position based not only on the adequate overall debt levels but also in terms of our indebtedness, most of which is long-term debt.

Adecoagro's capital expenditures amounted to $58.1 million in 4Q24, 2.7% lower compared to last year, while in 2024 it reached $274.2 million, marking a 9.6% year-over-year increase.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 77% or $44.5 million of total capex in 4Q24, marking a 18.9% year-over-year reduction, whereas on an annual basis it reached $222.8 million, in line with the previous year. Focusing on the annual figures, the 10.2% year-over-year decline in maintenance capex is mainly explained by a reduction in our renewal planting activities on 21,730 hectares being renewed versus 28,083 hectares in 2023. On the other hand, this was partially offset by a 10.1% year-over-year increase in the renewal of our industrial & agricultural machinery as we continue to update our harvesting machinery with two-line harvesters and grunners. Expansion capex, in turn, was 25.7% higher compared to the previous year, reaching $65.2 million. This was mainly explained by the expansion planting activities conducted throughout the year (14,249 hectares planted) as we were able to secure more area at attractive lease rates.
The Farming businesses accounted for 23%, or $13.6 million of total capex in 4Q24, presenting a year-over-year increase of $8.7 million, while on a full-year basis it amounted to $51.4 million, $28.5 million more than the previous year. Higher investments during both periods were mainly driven by growth capex projects including (i) the development of croppable land for our Rice operations; (ii) the third (and final) installment of Viterra's rice mills in Argentina and Uruguay; (iii) the expansion of the drying and storage capacity of our Paso Dragon rice mill; coupled with (iv) the construction of a new warehouse for our dairy products at our Chivilcoy facility.

Our 2023/24 campaign concluded in October 2024, with a total harvested area of 278,877 hectares and a production of over 1.1 million tons of aggregate grains. As previously stated, most of our crops significantly recovered in productivity given the normal weather conditions experienced, as opposed to last year which was affected by La Niña weather event. Nevertheless, we experienced lower-than-expected yields for our late corn production as it was negatively impacted by spiroplasma.
During the second half of 2024, we began our planting activities for the 2024/25 season, which continued throughout early 2025. Our planting plan consists of 305,258 hectares, which represents a 9.5% increase in area compared to the previous season. As of the date of this report, 99.8% of the area has already been seeded.

Planting Plan Update
Due to normal weather experienced during the first half of 2024, we saw an improvement in soil moisture conditions in Argentina, which in turn, enabled us to increase our wheat area in the Northern region of the country. Planting activities for our summer crops were conducted under good conditions. However, weather in South America shifted to a moderate-to-weak "La Niña" (below average precipitations) by 2024 year-end, which continued during January 2025. In anticipation for this, we designed our planting plan in order to increase our exposure to crops that are more resilient to low rainfalls, such as soybean, while we reduced our late corn production given the spiroplasma event in the prior campaign. Despite the combination of high temperatures and lower-than-average rainfalls experienced during this period, precipitations received by the end of January and throughout February enabled our crop production to continue with its normal course of development. The evolution of weather in the upcoming weeks will be key as most of our crops are undergoing their yield definition phase.
Soybean 1st crop: We successfully planted 50,920 hectares of soybean. Although planting activities were carried out under normal soil moisture conditions in all areas, weather evolved differently across regions. By late January, the center area of Argentina received good precipitation, while the high temperatures registered and the reduction in precipitation in the Northern region led to a slight reduction in yields versus budget. Rainfall in the upcoming weeks will be necessary as yields are currently being defined. Overall, we
20

bannerera.jpg
expect yields to be in line with historical.
Corn: 44,331 hectares of corn have been successfully planted, marking a 22.3% decrease compared to the 2023/24 harvest season. The reduction in corn area was mainly explained by (i) our agronomic decision to reduce our late corn production due to the spiroplasma event experienced the prior year; coupled with (ii) our strategy of switching to crops that are more resilient to dry weather, such as soybean. Despite this, yields for our early corn saw a slight decline versus our initial expectations as these are defined in December-January, when the weather was the driest. We are entering into the critical period of yield definition for our late corn, reason why rains will be necessary in the upcoming weeks. On a consolidated basis, we expect a year-over-year improvement in our corn yields.
Peanut: We have completed planting activities for all 25,353 hectares planned. The farms where our peanut production is concentrated received enough precipitation since the beginning of the season, allowing for a normal crop development. Despite the high temperatures registered, we are forecasting yields to be in line with historical average. Rains will be necessary during the next weeks as yields are being defined.
Sunflower: We concluded planting activities for sunflower, which represents 12,614 hectares of our total planting plan. We are forecasting yields to be in line with historical average due to a normal development of the crop.
Wheat: Planting activities for wheat are carried out during the South American winter and harvesting activities are completed during the summertime. In this line, 47,818 hectares of wheat, which also includes other winter crops such as barley and peas, have been planted and harvested. Despite presenting a year-over-year increase in planted area, our average yield was down to 2.5 ton/ha (versus 3.1 ton/ha during the prior campaign) driven by the aforementioned dry weather, which negatively impacted crop productivity.
Rice: All 64,477 hectares of the 2024/25 campaign have been seeded, while our water reservoirs remained full as a consequence of the rainfalls received throughout the year. In the case of Rice, as long as water availability is enough to conduct irrigation activities, dry and sunny weather is excellent for its development. Harvesting activities are on its way, and we are forecasting a significant improvement in yields versus the prior campaigns.

4Q24 Market Highlights
Sugar prices experienced a downward trend during 4Q24 mainly due to a larger-than-expected production from Brazil's Center-South region, together with India resuming sugar exports. As a result, funds increased their short position reaching its biggest one since 2019, adding to more volatility in prices. Nevertheless, the global trade balance continues to show a deficit, while the stock-to-use ratio in many importing countries remains low. Future prices will largely depend on the production size of the upcoming season, and therefore how weather evolves in Brazil during summertime. It is expected that Brazil's harvest season will start later than usual in order to allow for the cane to recover, which means production will lag behind last year, creating uncertainty in the near term about the crop size.
The Brazilian ethanol market experienced significant growth during 4Q24. According to the ESALQ index, both hydrous and anhydrous ethanol prices increased by 24% and 22%, respectively, compared to 4Q23. As reported by UNICA (Brazil’s sugarcane industry association), total ethanol sales in 4Q24 were 3% higher year-over-year, driven by greater competitiveness against gasoline at the pump and a larger market share in the Otto Cycle. Consequently, domestic hydrous ethanol sales saw a remarkable 28% increase during 2024 versus the previous year. In terms of outlook, the recovery in ethanol prices continues to be supported by (i) a low stock-to-use ratio; (ii) no new supply of cane ethanol until March-April, when most mills resume operations; coupled with (iii) the change in ICMS tax on gasoline during February.
Brazil's carbon credit market under the RenovaBio program presented a 30% year-over-year decrease in prices during 4Q24, reaching an average of 80 BRL/CBio (approximately 14 USD/CBio) versus 114 BRL/CBio in 4Q23.
In 4Q24, energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil were almost three times higher year-over-year and 79% higher compared to 3Q24. The peak in prices was mainly seen in October due to the high temperatures which led to more energy being consumed, while the southeast reservoirs levels remained mostly unchanged (from 46% to 51% in December).
During 4Q24, soybean traded 3% lower at CBOT compared to 3Q24, while corn traded 1% down. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly driven by (i) USA increasing stocks after a solid harvest; (ii) higher production expected in Argentina and Brazil; and (iii) no major changes in global demand. At the local market, prices traded 10% lower for soybean and 4% lower for corn compared to 3Q24. Local prices were less resilient due to good precipitations received during November. By beginning of 2025, prices significantly increased due to the dry weather experienced throughout January, coupled with the reduction of export taxes announced by the national government.
During 4Q24, all rice varieties and origins experienced a decline in prices as India (largest rice producer and exporter in the world) lifted the export ban for long grain white rice and started to divert its stocks to the market. Consequently, other Asian origins had to revise its prices in order to compete with Indian supply (which was offered at ∼$450/ton). In South America, planted area for the 2024/25 harvest season increased by 10% compared to the prior year. Planting pace was favorable and weather forecasts called for a "La Niña" event, which normally favors rice development. Thus, prices experienced a downward pressure.
International dairy prices continued its recovery trend throughout the period due to (i) more demand from Asia and China; and (ii) less supply available from South America (mainly Argentina and Uruguay).
24

Moreover, raw milk prices in Argentina remained firm at $0,42/liter driven by (i) lower milk production in 2024 compared to the previous year, and (ii) drier and warmer weather in Argentina and Uruguay during summertime. Thus, competition for raw milk sourcing during the high season of production remained strong.

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
Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations
Adjusted Free Cash Flow

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-IFRS 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.
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, the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions and exchange differences generated by the net liability monetary position in USD in the countries where the functional currency is the local currency, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITDA for each of our operating segments. Effective for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, we changed our definition of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA to exclude any charges related to impairments. We did not have any impairment or disposal charges for any of the previous periods presented.
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 or loss from fair value adjustments of investment property land, foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results and bargain purchase gain on acquisition and any charges related to impairments (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are important measures of operating performance for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, respectively, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), bargain purchase gain, any charges related to impairments, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also evaluate and compare the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA
27

bannerera.jpg
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 profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our company’s operating performance, and of each of our operating segments, respectively. We also believe Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are useful for securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate and compare the financial performance of our company and other companies in the agricultural industry. These non-IFRS measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in either our statements of income or segment information.
Our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITs for each of our operating segments. Effective for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, we changed our definition of Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT to exclude any charges related to impairments. We did not have any impairment or disposal charges for any of the previous periods presented.
We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBIT” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land, foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results, bargain purchase gain on acquisition and any charges related to impairments (ii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus or retained earnings; and (iii) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are important measures of operating performance, for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, from period to period by including the impact of depreciable fixed assets and removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), tax consequences (income taxes), foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland and also the sale of farmlands, and impairments, investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment profit from operations and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT should only be used as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our company, and of each of our operating segments, respectively.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT starts on page 32.
Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of non-current and current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (namely US-Treasury Bills use as collateral of short-term borrowings). This measure is widely used by management. Management is consistently tracking our leverage position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA.
We believe that the ratio net debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to capital markets and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations.

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

Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations
We believe that the measures of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations are important measures of liquidity that enable investors to draw important comparisons year to year of the amount of cash generated by the Company’s
29

bannerera.jpg
principal business and financing activities, which includes the cash generated from our land transformation activities, after paying for recurrent items, including interest, taxes and maintenance capital expenditures.
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as the aggregate of (i) net cash generated from operating activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, (ii) net cash used in investing activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations -excluding the net of the combined effect in other financial income-, less (iii) interest paid net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, plus (iv) proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest in farming subsidiaries; less (v) lease payments; less (vi) dividends paid to noncontrolling interest, plus (vii) the net of acquisition/disposal of short-term investments net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, and less (viii) other financial income derived from gains on bond arbitrage transactions. We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations as the aggregate of (i) net cash generated from operating activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, (ii) net cash used in investing activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations -excluding the net of the combined effect in other financial income-, less (iii) interest paid net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, plus (iv) proceeds from the sale of noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries; less (v) lease payments; less (vi) dividends paid to noncontrolling interest, plus (vii) the net acquisition/disposal of short-term investment net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, plus (viii) expansion capital expenditures, less (ix) other financial income derived from gains on bond arbitrage transactions.
Expansion capex is defined as the required investment to expand current production capacity including organic growth, joint ventures and acquisitions. We define maintenance capital expenditures ("maintenance capex") as the necessary investments in order to maintain the current level of productivity both at an agricultural and at an industrial level. Proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest in farming subsidiaries is a measure of the cash generated from our land transformation activities that is included under cash from financing activities pursuant to IFRS.
We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company because it allows investors and others to evaluate and compare the amount of cash generated by the Company business and financing activities to undertake growth investments, to fund acquisitions, to reduce outstanding financial debt and to provide a return to shareholders in the form of dividends and/or share repurchases, among other things.
We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations is an additional important liquidity metric for the Company because it allows investors and others to evaluate and compare the total amount of cash generated by the Company's business and financing activities after paying for recurrent items including interest, taxes and maintenance capex. We believed this metric is relevant in evaluating the overall performance of our business.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations differently, and therefore our formulation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations are not measures of liquidity under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated cash flows from operating activities, net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
