Financial & Operational Performance Highlights

Adjusted EBITDA for our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business reached $80.9 in 2Q18, $19.5 million or 31.8% higher than 2Q17. This increase is mainly explained by: (i) the maximization of ethanol production (72.5% of total TRS), enabling us to profit from higher prices. Anhydrous and hydrous ethanol traded at 16.0 cts/lb and 14.7 cts/lb sugar equivalent during the quarter, equivalent to 34.1% and 22.7% premium to sugar respectively, (ii) higher energy revenues due to the combined effect of a 20.7% increase in selling volumes and a 9.9% increase in average selling prices, in dollar terms, (iii) the 53.9% increase in crushing activities as a result of larger cane availability; explained by enhanced industrial efficiencies, together with an increase in effective milling days due to favorable weather conditions; (iv) the reduction in production costs, measured on a per ton basis, driven by higher crushing activities, coupled with the 14% depreciation of the Brazilian Real.
Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA totaled $128.9 million, marking a 40.7% increase compared to the same period of last year. In addition to the previously referred drivers, higher Adjusted EBITDA is explained by a $3.9 million increase derived from the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge positions, partially offset by lower sugar prices.
In our Farming & Land Transformation businesses, Adjusted EBITDA reached $61.2 million, $50.2 million higher than 2Q17. The improvement in financial performance is mainly explained by the $6.5 million and $7.2 million increase in results in our crops and rice businesses respectively as a result of enhanced operational efficiencies and the 30% depreciation of the Argentine Peso, which together resulted in a reduction of production costs. Furthermore, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA is also explained by the proceeds obtained from the sale of Rio de Janeiro and Conquista farms, which recorded a $36.2 million capital gain, compared to a zero result in 2Q17.
On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 161.2%, reaching $80.0 million. This increase is primarily explained by: (i) a $3.8 million increase in our Crops business, due to a higher margin recognition as a result of higher commodity prices in the local market coupled with a reduction in production costs, (ii) a $9.2 million increase in our Rice business, as a result of a significant 17% increase in agricultural yields, coupled with lower production costs, measured in U.S dollar. These effects were partially offset by the negative mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position.
Net Income in the first half of the year was a loss of $22.5 million, compared to a $9.8 million gain recorded in the same period of last year. This is almost entirely explained by the $125.3 million non-cash loss derived from the revaluation of our U.S dollar denominated financial debt, measured in local currency. Indeed, as a result of the sharp depreciation suffered by the Brazilian Real and Argentine Peso during 6M18, we registered a significant loss in our Net Financial Result line. It´s worth mentioning that this result is non-cash in nature and represent no equity loss when measured in U.S dollar.

ADECOERHDQ22018.JPG

Adjusted Net Income, by definition, excludes any non-cash result derived from bilateral exchange variations and includes any gain or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland (the latter is already included in Adj. EBITDA). During the first half of the year, Adjusted Net Income reached $110.1 million, $85.2 million higher compared to 6M17. It is worth noticing that this increase is in line with the one reported in Adjusted EBITDA (Please refer to page 31 for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to Profit/Loss).

         
Adjusted Net Income
Adecoagro S.A operates in Brazil and Argentina through its local subsidiaries. Each subsidiary prepares its financial statements in local currency (their functional currency). This means that in Argentina, financial statements are prepared in Argentine Peso and in Brazil they are prepared in Brazilian Real. Afterwards, financial statements of all subsidiaries are translated and consolidated into U.S dollar, Adecoagro´s reporting currency. As a result, the revaluation of the U.S dollar denominated assets and liabilities generates an FX revaluation effect every time there is a variation in the bilateral exchange rate . A depreciation of the functional currency revalues U.S dollar denominated financial debt (implying a negative impact on net income), and also revalues U.S dollar denominated monetary assets (implying a positive impact on net income). These effects, however, are (i) non-cash in nature, since they are fully reversed when calculating the Cash Flow Statement; and (ii) do not affect the net worth of the Company. In fact, total Equity does not change when measured in U.S dollars. The Company owes the same dollar amount, regardless on the foreign exchange rate.
Our U.S dollar denominated net financial position is structurally negative. This implies that, on a consolidated basis, we have more dollar denominated liabilities than dollar denominated assets. This is the case since most of our financial debt is denominated in U.S dollars and our fixed assets (for instance, our farmland) are denominated in local currency. However it´s worth highlighting that we do not acquire a currency mismatch risk by entering into dollar denominated debt contracts. This is because most of our revenues streams are also dollar-denominated or dollar linked. Thus, we finance ourselves in dollars since we can get better terms in that currency and we generate USD revenue to pay it back. The fact that financial debt is revalued as asset value stays the same distort the economic reality of our business, since a depreciation of the local currency is highly beneficial for our margins. As we have more local currency denominated costs than revenues, a weakening of the currency allows us to dilute costs, enhancing margins.
During 2Q18, both the Brazilian Real and the Argentine Peso suffered sharp depreciations resulting in a $121.2 million non-cash FX loss. This completely distorts Net Income and, by extension, all the ratios which use net income as an input (i.e. P/E, EV/BV, etc.).
We have decided to start reporting Adjusted Net Income (1) , which (i) excludes any non-cash result derived from FX variations; and (ii) includes any gain or losses from disposal of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland.

Strategy Execution
Farmland sales at strong premium to independent appraisal
During June 2018, we completed the sale of Rio de Janeiro and Conquista farms, located in western Bahia and Tocantins, respectively for a total of 9,300 croppable hectares. The aggregate selling price reached $53.0 million, out of which $34.5 million are paid cash (partially in 2Q18, and the rest during 3Q18); while the balance is payable in four installments. The selling price represent a 37% premium to the latest Cushman and Wakefield´s independent appraisal, as of September 30, 2017.
5-Year Plan update
The expansion of the cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul is moving forward according to plan and budget. Investments in Angelica mill, as previously announced, are already done and the mill reached a nominal crushing capacity of 1,050 tons/hour. As for the Ivinhema mill, most of the investments are completed.
At the same time, based on projected relative sugar and ethanol prices, we commenced minor investments in order to increase our maximum ethanol production capacity by 5%, reaching 73% of total TRS production by 2019. It´s worth highlighting that, during the first half of the year, 77% of TRS went to ethanol and we feel very optimistic with our 70% target for the year. We believe that this investment, will result in higher margins and returns as we will be making a better use of our assets by producing products with higher margin contribution.

Market Overview
Sugar prices during 2Q18 were, on average, 12% lower than 1Q18 and 21% lower than same period last year. Prices were under strong pressure in April, trading as low as 10.69 c/lb, the lowest level since September, 2015. Sugar production in India and Thailand was revised up once again, increasing the global surplus even more. Dry weather in Brazil, which poses risks on the current season production, together with strong oil prices resulted in funds covering their short position. As a result, sugar prices recovered and the front month traded as high as 12.97 c/lb. However, political turmoil pressured commodities in general and sugar was no exception. As a result, prices ended up trading close to 11.00 c/lb.
The ethanol market during 2Q18 was marked by: (i) strong demand prior to the strike, (ii) highly competitive hydrous at the pumps, (iii) record high production figures; (iv) and seasonal fall in prices . According to the ESALQ index, hydrous and anhydrous prices went respectively down 15% and 10% versus previous quarter, respectively. Compared to last year, prices of both hydrous and anhydrous presented an improvement of 12% and 10%, respectively. As reported by UNICA, hydrous sales were 32% above same period last year, what should help to offset current ethanol output in the Center-South and lead to a more constructive price scenario in the next months.
Energy spot prices in the southeast region of Brazil during 2Q18 were 54% higher than 1Q18. In April, energy prices fell to 109.71 BRL/MWh and increased to 325.46 BRL/MWh in May and to 472.87 BRL/MWh in June. Strong prices are explained by below average rainfalls, coupled with increasing demand.
Soybean prices decreased 1.2% during 2Q18 and were on average 5.7% higher year-over-year. CBOT corn prices decreased 9.7% in the quarter and were on average 4.6% higher than a year ago. Prices were mostly pressured on strong U.S. crop prospects and U.S. trade tensions re-emerging with China. Fund selling weighed on grain markets in general. Chinese tariffs make U.S. shipments less competitive to China while making them more competitive to other destinations.
Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries
In accordance with IAS 29 provision under IFRS, companies operating in economies presenting an accumulated inflation rate during the previous 12 quarters that equals or exceeds 100%, among other triggering factors, must adopt inflation accounting. As of June 30th, accumulated inflation in Argentina exceeded the threshold. Thus, the Company needs to adopt inflation accounting for Argentinean subsidiaries going forward. Under Inflation Accounting, financial statements must be expressed at current value as at the end of the reporting period (i.e. adjusted by the inflation index). This is further discussed in note 27 (Basis of preparation and presentation) in our 2Q18 Financial Statements.

(3) Yields for 2017/18 season are partial yields related to the harvested area as of July 30, 2018. Yields for 2016/17 reflect the full harvest season.

As of August 1, 2018, 90.3% of our total planted area was successfully harvested. The remaining hectares are expected to be harvested by early August.

Soybean: As of the end of July, we harvested 99.9% of the soybean crop. So far, yields reached 2.2 tons per hectare, 27.0% lower compared to the previous harvest year. The decrease is fully attributable to dry weather during the flowering period.

ADECOERHDQ22018.JPG

Corn: 35,137 hectares of corn were harvested, representing 62% of total planted area. Early corn was fully harvested with a 22.9% lower yields. As for the late corn, 5,702 hectares were harvested, representing 52.6% o f total area. This corn variety was more severely hit by the drought, explaining the decrease in yields.
Corn Silage: As of the end of July, we successfully harvested 9,375 hectares of corn silage with a yield of 100,177 tons, 60.5% higher compared to the previous harvest year. In the coming years, we need the production of corn silage to increase in advance of adding more milking cows.
Sunflower: The harvest of the sunflower crop began in late December 2017. As of the end of July 2018, 100% of sunflower had been harvested yielding an average of 2.2 tons per hectare, in line with the previous harvest season.
Rice: As of the end of July, all the planted area was already harvested. Dry weather coupled with a longer exposure to solar radiation due to dry weather and laser leveling for optimal crop development conditions, resulting in a 16.2% higher yields compared to the previous harvest.

2018/19 Harvest Year
Towards the end of 2Q18, Adecoagro began its planting activities for the 2018/19 harvest year. As of the date of this report, a total of 36,533 hectares of wheat have been successfully planted and are developing normally thanks to adequate soil conditions.

(1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 21 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to Profit/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, depreciation and amortization plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBIT is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EBITDA (2) in the Farming and Land Transformation businesses was $ 61.2 million in 2Q18, $50.2 million, or 457.1% higher than 2Q17. The improvement in financial performance is primarily the result of a $6.5 million and $ 7.2 million increase in results in our crops and rice businesses respectively, as a result of enhanced operational efficiencies and the depreciation of the Argentine Peso, which together resulted in a reduction of production costs. On top of these positive results, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA is further explained by the proceeds generated from the sale of Rio de Janeiro and Conquista farms, resulting in $36.2 million contribution to Adj. EBITDA, compared to a zero result in 2Q17.
On an accumulated basis, Adjusted EBITDA (2) totaled $ 80.0 million , 161,2% above last year. This increase is mostly explained by (i) a $3.8 million increase in our Crops business, due to a higher margin recognition as a result of higher commodity prices in the local market coupled with a reduction in production costs, (ii) a $9.2 million increase in our Rice business, as a result of higher yields and lower production costs, measured in U.S dollar; and (iii) the sale of the farms. These positive results were partially offset by the negative mark-to-market of our commodity hedge position.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Crops segment was $ 24.2 million in 6M18, 18.5% higher compared to the same period of last year. This is mainly explained by a $10.6 million increase in Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce and Changes in Net Realizable Value, which reflects the margin recognized throughout the biological growth cycle and harvest of our crops. Higher margins are explained by (i) enhanced operating efficiencies, (ii) lower production costs, measured in U.S dollars, as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine Peso; and (iii) higher commodity prices in the local market as the drought that hit Argentina during the first quarter implied lower grain production putting pressure on supply and therefore, increasing domestic prices.

The table above shows the gains or losses from crop production generated during 6M18. A total of 189,918 hectares were planted in the 2017/18 crop. As of June 30, 2018, total Changes in Fair Value, which reflects the margin of both the crops that have already been harvested and the expected margin of those that are still on the ground with significant biological growth, was $ 23.8 million , compared to $17.3 million generated during the same period last year. As explained above, the main drivers for the increase in margins are (i) higher operating efficiencies, (ii) higher domestic prices; coupled with (iii) lower costs of production, measured in USD.
Planting activities related to the new 2018/19 crop are underway. We planted 36.5 thousand hectares of wheat. Abundant rainfalls during the quarter have provided good soil humidity, necessary for planting activities.
As shown in the table below, crops sales year-to-date reached $ 80.5 million , 5.2% below last year, primarily explained by lower selling volumes as a consequence of the drought that hit the country early in the year, significantly impacting achieved yields.

Due to the seasonality and growth cycle of the rice crop, most of the margin generated in the 2017/18 harvest was recognized in the first quarter of 2018 as the crop was harvested. Adjusted EBITDA generation during the rest of the year is usually driven by sales of processed rice and by-products, net of selling expenses and overhead costs.
Rice sales during 2Q18 reached $ 40.9 million , 70.1% higher than 2Q17. This increase was explained by higher selling volumes, partially offset by a 16.1% decrease in average selling prices, explained by: (i) lower prices in the domestic market measured in U.S dollar as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine peso; coupled with (ii) a higher share of exports. It´s worth highlighting that margins in the export market are higher than in the domestic one since selling costs are considerable lower.
On a cumulative basis, adjusted EBITDA was $ 14.5 million , 177.2% or $9.2 million higher than 6M17. This is mainly explained by: (i) higher margins in our agricultural operations driven by higher yields and lower production costs as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine Peso; coupled with a better mill out ratio of white rice (less broken) due to high quality of our rough rice. Quality resulted from an efficient and timely harvest enabled by dry weather.

Our Dairy operation continues to deliver strong operational and financial performance. Milk production reached 24.1 million liters in 2Q18, 9.9% higher year-over-year. This increase is attributable to an 8.8% increase in our dairy cow herd, coupled with a slight increase in productivity. Despite new operational challenges and difficulties associated with an increase in the herd, we have observed higher cow productivity.
Despite higher selling volumes, gross sales during 2Q18 reached $ 7.3 million , $1.2 million lower than 2Q17.This decrease is fully explained by the depreciation of the Argentine Peso. This negative effect was fully offset by: (i) the reduction in unitary production cost as a result of enhanced operational efficiencies, (ii) the depreciation of the Argentina Peso, diluting costs that are denominated in local currency; and (iii) the $0.4 million derived from electricity sales. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA reached $ 2.7 million , 4.6% higher compared to the same period of last year.
We expect to keep enhancing efficiencies as we start operating our third free-stall and leveraging our industrial assets.

Adjusted EBITDA for our Land Transformation business during 6M18 totaled $ 36.2 million , compared to a null result during 6M17.
During June 2018, we completed the sale of Rio de Janeiro and Conquista farms, located in western Bahia and Tocantins, respectively. The aggregate selling price reached $53.0 million for a total of 9,300 croppable hectares. The selling price represent a 37% premium to the latest Cushman and Wakefield´s independent appraisal, as of September 30, 2017.
Over the last 12 years, we have been able to generate gains of over $200 million by strategically selling at least one of our fully mature farms per year. Monetizing a portion our land transformation gains allows us to redeploy the capital into higher yielding activities, enabling us to continue growing and enhancing shareholder value.

Sugarcane milling reached 3.8 million tons during 2Q18, marking a 53.9% increase compared to 2Q17. This increase is mainly explained by: (i) larger cane availability as a result of the simultaneous increase in yields and harvested area, (ii) enhanced operating efficiencies, which enabled us to crush more cane on a per hour basis; coupled with (iii) a 48% increase in effective milling days, as a result of drier weather conditions.

Year-to-date, a total of 5.3 million tons of sugarcane were crushed, 35.5% higher than 6M17. Considering crushing volumes during 1Q18 were in line with those of 1Q17, the increase during the first half of the year is fully explained by the second quarter´s dynamics.

18

ADECOERHDQ22018.JPG

Production mix in the semester continued to favor ethanol to profit from higher relative prices. Indeed, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol traded at a 32.5% and 39.8% premium to sugar, respectively. As a result, 77% of total TRS produced was slanted towards ethanol, compared to 55% in 6M17. This implied, on the one hand, a (30.2)% increase in total ethanol production, reaching 141.3 thousand cubic meters. On the other hand, sugar production totaled 663.0 thousand tons, 42.2% lower year-over-year.

Exported energy totaled 229,6 thousands MWh, marking a 39.4% increased compared to the same period of last year. The large bagasse availability during the second quarter as a result of higher crushing volumes coupled with the carried over stock from the previous quarter, explains the increase. It´s worth noting that we end the quarter with a high level of bagasse that we plan to burn during the second half of the year. Water in the reservoirs fell to 39% as a result of the lack of rains, explaining the spike in prices.
In terms of agricultural productivity, sugarcane yields during the first half of the year reached 91.7 tons/ha, marking a 6.1% increase year-over-year. Higher yields were mainly explained by: (i) above average rainfalls during 4Q17 and 1Q18 favoring cane development; and (ii) a longer growth cycle for a greater proportion of the sugarcane harvested in 2018 than the sugarcane harvested in 2017. TRS content per ton of sugarcane has been slightly higher this year reaching 119.7 kg/ton.
As of June 30, 2018, our sugarcane plantation consisted of 149,237 hectares, marking a 6.9% growth year-over-year. Sugarcane planting continues to be a key strategy to supply our mills with quality raw material at low cost. During 2Q18 we planted a total of 9,970 hectares of sugarcane. Of this total area, 3,719 hectares correspond to expansion areas planted to supply our growing milling capacity and 6,251 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.

Net sales in 2Q18 reached $ 111.0 million , $18.3 million or 14.2% lower than 2Q17. This decrease was primarily driven by the combination of a 41.2% decrease in sugar selling volumes, coupled with a 25.8% decrease in sugar selling prices. This, in turn, was maximized by the depreciation of the Brazilian Real (net sales measured in BRL increased quarter-over-quarter). Higher ethanol and energy selling volumes, coupled with a 10% increase in energy selling prices, partially offset the negative effects.
Adjusted EBITDA during 2Q18 was $ 80.9 million , 31.8% higher compared to 2Q17. Adjusted EBITDA was positively affected by: (i) the maximization of ethanol production, allowing us to capture higher prices for the produced TRS (ii) higher energy revenues as a result of higher selling volumes and higher average selling prices, (iii) a 53.9% increase in crushing activities as a result of larger cane availability, enhanced industrial efficiencies, and an increase in effective milling days; (iv) a reduction in unitary production costs as a result of higher crushing activities, coupled with the depreciation of the Brazilian Real, which further contributes to cost dilution, measured in U.S dollar.
On a cumulative basis, Adjusted EBITDA in 6M18 grew by 40.7% reaching $ 128.9 million . Main drivers for the increase are in line with those attributable to the quarter. In addition, results were explained by a $3.9 million increase derived from the mark-to-market of our commodity hedge positions, partially offset by a higher loss generated by the fair value of the unharvested sugarcane as a result of lower sugar prices.

On a quarterly basis, ethanol selling volumes increased 49.3% . This responds to our strategic decision to maximize ethanol production to profit from higher relative prices. Indeed, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol traded, during the first half of the year, at a 32.5% and a 39.8% premium to VHP sugar. Measured in U.S. dollars, ethanol prices remained flat year-over-year. However, this is fully explained by the 18% depreciation of the Brazilian Real. As a matter of fact, prices increased 8.3% year-over-year in local currency. Compared to the same period of last year, we are executing a more aggressive carry strategy aiming to profit from higher prices during the inter-harvest season.
In the case of energy, selling volumes reached 232,364 MWh, marking a 20.7% increase. This is fully explained by the large bagasse availability as a result of: (i) inventories carried from the first quarter, coupled with (ii) higher crushing activities. At the same time it´s worth noting that we end the quarter with high levels of bagasse that we plan to burn during the second half of the year. We expect prices to remain at attractive levels in the wake of increasing demand and lower rains have reduced hydroelectric power generation.
Sugar sales volumes reached 105,814 tons, 41.2% lower year-over-year. Average realized selling prices reached $308/ton, 25.8% lower compared to 2Q17. Lower prices are primarily explained by global supply & demand dynamics. As a result, net sales reached $32.6 million, 56.3% lower compared to the same period of last year.

As shown in the table above, total production costs excluding depreciation and amortization marked a 26.0% reduction, on a per ton basis. This decrease was explained by: (i) higher crushing volumes, (ii) enhanced agricultural and industrial efficiencies, (iii) a decrease in Consecana price coupled with a greater share of owned harvested area, which contributed to lower leasing expenses; coupled with (iv) a reduction in diesel prices as a result of the trucker´s strike. Unit costs, measured in U.S. dollars, were further reduced by the year-over-year depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

Other Operating Income on a year-to-date basis reported a gain of $ 69.6 million , 92.7% or $33.5 million higher than the same period of last year. This increase is mainly attributable to the proceeds from the sale of Rio de Janeiro and Conquista farms; and partially offset by a lower gain recognition resulting from the mark-to-market of our crops hedge positions.

Commodity Hedging
Adecoagro’s financial performance is affected by the volatile price environment inherent to agricultural commodities. The company uses forward and derivative markets to mitigate swings in commodity prices by locking-in margins and stabilizing cash flows.
The table below shows the average selling price of our hedged production volumes, including volumes that have already been invoiced and delivered, forward contracts with fixed-price and volumes hedged through derivative instruments.

Our net financial results in 2Q18 presented a loss of $139.6 million, compared to a loss of $22.9 million in the same period of last year. The financial results loss is primarily composed of (i) foreign exchange losses, (ii) losses from derivative financial instruments; and (iii) net interest expenses, as described below:
(i)
Foreign exchange losses (composed of “Cash Flow Hedge - Transfer from Equity (1) and “Fx Gain/Loss line” items) reflect the impact of foreign exchange variations on our dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. As a result of the sharp depreciations experienced by the Argentina Peso and Brazilian Real (30% and 14%, respectively) during 2Q18, foreign exchange losses stood at $121.1 million, marking a $108.9 million higher loss compared to 2Q17. As explained in “Adjusted Net Income” section above, this result is non-cash in nature.

(ii)
A loss of $5.3 million from financial derivative instruments was reported in 2Q18. This result was mainly explained by the negative mark-to-market of our ethanol hedge position and our foreign exchange forward contracts. Its worth highlighting that the result related to the ethanol hedge position is expected to be reverted as we will capture higher prices as we enter into the inter-harvest season.

(iii)
Interest expense: our net interest expense in 2Q18 was $12.0 million, 34.1% above the previous quarter. This difference is mainly explained by: (i) a $0.8 million reduction in interest income resulting from lower cash and equivalents during the period; coupled with (ii) slightly higher interest expenses.

(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 future sales 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 arising from 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 from equity 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 Risk Management Policy.

Adecoagro’s consolidated gross debt as of 2Q18 stood at $810.9 million, 2.1% higher year-over-year. This is mainly explained by higher capital expenditures coupled with a more aggressive carry strategy.
Net debt as of 2Q18 was $ 666.2 million , 3.3% and 16.0% higher than 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively. The increase in net debt from a quarterly perspective is primarily driven by (i) a more aggressive ethanol carry strategy to capture higher prices during the second half of the year, and (ii) lower sales proceeds from crops sales as a consequence of lower selling volumes because of the drought. The increase in Net Debt from a yearly perspective is a consequence of our investment program.
Due to the growth in Adjusted EBITDA, however, Net debt ratio (Net debt / LTM Adj. EBITDA) reached 1.83x , essentially the same year-over-year.

Adecoagro’s capital expenditures during during the first half of the year totaled $ 113.9 million , 7.0% higher compared to the same period of last year.
The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 84.0% or $ 95.7 million of total capex. Expansion capex reached $ 28.8 million , mainly as a result of the investments related to the increase in nominal crushing capacity, and to new sugarcane hectares planted to supply the growing industrial capacity. Maintenance capex, in turn, reached $ 67.0 million million, 16.8% lower year-over-year. The decrease is mainly explained by the 18% depreciation of the Brazilian Real.
Farming & Land Transformation businesses accounted for 16.0% or $ 18.2 million of total capex in 6M18. The increase is mainly driven by the expansion capex in the Dairy and Rice businesses. We completed the construction of our third free stall and are now ready to commence operations. In our Rice business, the main projects that account for the increase are the construction of the parboil plant and a packaging machine. With these investments, we expect to enhance industrial efficiencies and capture higher margins.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures in this press release:
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBITDA margin
Net Debt
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Net Income

In this section, we provide an explanation and a reconciliation of each of our non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our IFRS financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, such as depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value and the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions and exchange differences generated by the net liability monetary position in USD in the countries where the functional currency is the local currency, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT & Adjusted EBITDA margin
We 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 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, 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), 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. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT differently, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are not measure 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, profit from operations before financing and taxation and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA to net sales. We consider that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA margin provides useful information on how successfully we operate our Company and enhances the ability of investors to compare profitability between segments, periods and with other public companies.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT starts on page 36.

Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. This measure is widely used by management and investment analysts and we believe it shows the financial strength of the Company
Management is consistently tracking our leverage position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that this metric provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to debt financing instruments in the capital markets and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations.

Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Net Income as (i) Profit/ (Loss) of the period/year, plus (ii) any non-cash finance costs resulting from foreign exchange gain/losses for such period, which are composed by both Exchange Differences and Cash Flow Hedge Transfer from Equity, included in Financial Results, net, in our statement of income; net of the related income tax effects, plus (iii) gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, which are reflected in our Shareholders Equity under the line item. “Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries”; plus (iv) the reversal of the aforementioned income tax effect.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an important measure of performance for our company allowing investors to properly assess the impact of the results of our operations in our Equity. In effect, results arising from the revaluation effect of our net monetary position held in foreign currency in the countries where our functional currency is the local currency do not affect the Equity of the Company, when measured in foreign / reporting currency. Conversely, the tax effect resulting from the aforementioned revaluation effect does impact the Equity of the Company, since it reduces/increases the income tax to be paid in each country; which is why we decided to add back the income tax effect to the Adjusted Net Income considering this tax effect.
In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also include the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently, and therefore our Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Net Income is not a measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss). This non-IFRS measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our financial statements.
