Subsidiary PGG Wrightson Announces Fiscal 2016 Guidance
HONG KONG—October 28, 2015 -- Agria Corporation (NYSE:
GRO) (the "Company" or "Agria") today announced that its New Zealand-listed subsidiary, PGG Wrightson Limited*
(NZSE: PGW) ("PGW"), expects its fiscal year 2016 Operating EBITDA** to be in the NZ$61 to NZ$67 million range.
Mr. Alan Lai, Executive Chairman of Agria and Chairman of the
PGW Board, commented, "We believe PGW’s business is on the right path and that operational improvements made at PGW
extend deeper than the earnings growth shareholders have experienced in recent years. We remain confident that the PGW’s
business can achieve the right balance between operational execution, continuous improvement and growth. Through these efforts,
Agria’s results can strengthen and further bolster our overall growth and geographic expansion."
PGW's announcement and management comments can be accessed

*All references to PGG Wrightson Limited or the Group refer
to the Company, its subsidiaries and interests in associates and jointly controlled entities.
**Disclosure Statement: Non-GAAP profit reporting measures:
PGW's standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand
GAAP is "profit/(loss) for the period." PGW has used non-GAAP profit measures when discussing financial performance in
this document. The directors and management believe that these measures provide useful information as they are used internally
to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and to allocate resources. They also represent some of
the performance measures required by PGW's debt providers. For a more comprehensive discussion on the use of non-GAAP profit measures,
please refer to the policy "Non-GAAP Financial Information" available on our website (www.pggwrightson.co.nz) or refer
to our previous financial statements for reconciliations to GAAP profit measures.
Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with
NZ IFRS and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP profit measures reported in this document may not be comparable with
those that other companies report and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for measures reported by
PGW in accordance with NZ IFRS.
PGW's definition of non-GAAP profit measures used in this
document:
Operating EBITDA excluding earnings of associates:
Earnings before net interest and finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortization, fair value adjustments, non-operating items
and equity accounted earnings of associates.
