2.2. Crop growing segment overview

Results of crop growing segment consist of crop harvest fair value, sales of the previous and current year harvest and agricultural subsidies.

Harvest in the season of 2023/2024

The total cultivated land area by the Group amounted to 37.9 thousand hectares (ha) in the 2023/2024 season and is slightly less than the cultivated area in the 2022/2023 season. In the 2023/2024 season, 30.7 thousand ha is seeded with crops (29.8 thousand in the 2022/2023 season) out of which 11.4 thousand ha is dedicated to wheat, 6.5 thousand ha to legumes and 12.8 thousand ha to other cash crops. The majority – 10.9 thousand ha out of total 11.4 thousand ha – of wheat is winter wheat as winter crops usually have higher yield potential compared to summer alternatives. Forage crops comprise 6.7 thousand ha in the 2023/2024 season compared to 7.1 thousand ha in the 2022/2023 season.

At the end of each quarter the Group evaluates the fair value of crops which have not yet been harvested. The Group estimated the total fair value of crops as of 31 March 2024 using the following formula and assumptions:

Fair value of a crop = Costs incurred + (Cultivated area in ha * forecasted average yield as tonnes per ha * forecasted price per tonne – cultivated area in ha * forecasted total cost per ha) * T, where:

• Costs incurred are costs actually incurred for a particular crop during the 2023/2024 season.

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

  • Cultivated area in ha is the area of a particular crop seeded and expected to be harvested.
  • Forecasted average yield in tonnes per ha is the expected yield for a particular crop based on the most relevant information about the crops and updated according to the most recent data.
  • Forecasted price per tonne. The fair value calculations relied on the negotiated, future prices of crops after taking into account the contracts already signed with regards to the sales of the 2023/2024 season harvest.
  • Forecasted total cost per ha actual cost of organic crops incurred during the 2022/2023 season and planned costs for conventional crops for the 2023/2024 season, based on the expenses associated with organic crops taking into account differences of necessary fertilizers, pesticides and farming activities.
  • T is the portion of time that has already passed from sowing date until the forecasted harvest date expressed as a percentage. As of 31 March 2024, the average completion percentage estimated for next year's harvest crops was around 63%.

The formula discussed above will be used to estimate fair value of cash crops (winter and summer crops) for coming quarters and until the actual harvest will be completed. Forecasted parameters used in the fair value estimation will be re-evaluated quarterly and adjusted by taking into consideration the most recent data.

It should be noted that the fair value of a forage crop, even at its point of harvest, is measured based on production costs incurred on a forage crop. In other words, forage crop production costs are used as a measure of the fair value of that forage crop since there is no active market for forage crops and there is no reliable data to calculate market prices of the forage crops. Due to this the net result on revaluation of forage crops is equal to zero.

At the end of 2023 the Group sowed around 20 thousand ha of cash crops – wheat, triticale, rapeseed, clover, barley, timothy and vicia – which will be harvested in 2024. For comparison, in the 2022/2023 season around 17 thousand ha of winter cash crops were sown. Early spring weather was favourable for crop development and made it possible to work effectively. In the group's assessment, crop conditions are good and a better harvest can be expected in 2024 than was anticipated.

In the 1st quarter of 2024 Group accounted EUR 0.82 million gain on revaluation of biological assets (1st quarter of 2023 – EUR 0.13 million). As of 31 March 2024, the Group recognized a EUR 2.10 million gain on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value. It should be noted that as of 31 December 2023 Group has already recognised a gain of EUR 1.29 million on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value. Although the overall crops value remained at a similar level to the previous year, gain on revaluation of the 1st quarter of 2024 recognised in reporting period is significantly higher compared to previous period, as there were no negatively impacting assumptions in the 1 st quarter of this year. The actual result of the crop growing segment will be estimated in the 3rd quarter when almost all cultivated cultures of 2023/2024 season will be harvested.

Crop growing segment sales results

Total revenue generated from sales in the crop growing segment amounted to EUR 6.63 million in the 1st quarter of 2024 (1 st quarter of 2023 – EUR 7.91 million). The decline in sales revenue during the 1 st quarter of 2024 resulted from lower prices of goods sold and changes in the assortment of goods sold. In the 1 st quarter of 2024, the majority of the sold production was wheat, whereas during the same period in 2023, it was legumes.

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

The crop growing segment's cost of sales for 3 months of 2024 amounted to EUR 7.06 million, 16% less compared to the same period of last year. Cost of sales exceeded sales revenue due to wheat as well as legumes sold at below-revenue post-harvest prices. Internal transactions between segments are executed based on fixed pricing and the 1 st quarter of 2024 its effect amounted to a loss of EUR 0.68 million.

Agricultural subsidies and gross profit of the crop growing segment

Total amount of agricultural subsidies accrued in 3 months of 2024 was EUR 2.19 million which is slightly less compared to the subsidies accrued in the same period last year. Accrued subsidies amount is based on calculations according to currently applicable and achievable requirements of subsidising programmes regulations. Overall, the Group plans to receive a similar amount of subsidies throughout the year as in 2023. The observed decrease when comparing the 1 st quarter of 2024 with the 1 st quarter of 2023 is due to the partial transition to the convention, as this was not yet foreseen in the 1 st quarter of 2023.

The gross result of the crop growing segment, encompassing the results of agricultural produce sales, gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural subsidies, has increased in 2024 when compared to last year due to an increase in result on revaluation of biological assets at fair value. Gross profit amounted to EUR 1.82 million in the 1 st quarter of 2024. In the same period of 2023, it was EUR 1.52 million.

2.3. Dairy segment overview

The quantity of milk produced in the 1 st quarter of 2024 increased by 2% compared to the same period last year, even though average herd size of dairy cows decreased from 3,475 (in the 1 st quarter of 2023) to 3,418 (in 1 st quarter of 2024). It was compensated by average milk yield which during the 3-month period of 2024 grew compared to the same period last year. Milk yields were the highest in the last three years.

Although the quantity of milk produced increased by 2%, milk sales increased by 8% as part of milk from 2023 was sold in 2024.

The 4% increase in milk purchase prices in the 1 st quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 also impacted the segment's result. Dairy sales revenue increased and amounted to EUR 4.69 million in the reporting period, compared to EUR 4.15 million last year.

The segment's costs for the first 3 months of 2024 were EUR 4.22 million, slightly higher than last year. Despite the increased quantity sold, the cost of milk decreased, which means the cost per tonne also decreased. Comparing the 1 st quarter of 2024 to the 1 st quarter of 2023 there was an 11% decrease (from 467 EUR/tonne to 415 EUR/tonne).

In 2024, a loss of EUR 0.78 million was incurred due to the revaluation of biological assets (animal herd). In comparison, the loss due to the revaluation of biological assets (animal herd) was 5% higher last year.

In the 1st quarter of 2024, the Group has recorded a EUR 0,38 million gross profit while the result of the equivalent period in 2023 was inferior by EUR 0.45 million.

2.4. Mushroom segment overview

Production prices increased by 6% in the 1 st quarter of 2024 compared to the 1 st quarter of 2023. The impact of rising prices on the result was mitigated by increased costs. Cost of sales increased by 2 % in the 1 st quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year and amounted to EUR 7.29 million.

In the 1 st quarter of 2024, gross profit in the mushroom growing segment amounted to EUR 0.46 million, compared to a gross profit of EUR 0.58 million in the same period last year. It was affected by lower sales of the secondary product (compost).

2.5. Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment

The sales revenue of the FMCG segment in the 1 st quarter of 2024 was EUR 0.67 million, while in 2023, after eliminating the performance of Grybai LT, which was sold in mid-2023, sales revenue amounted to EUR 0.20 million.

In the 1 st quarter of 2024, the gross profit of the segment amounted to EUR 0.05 million, compared to a loss of EUR 0.13 million in the same period of 2023.

IV. EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. Basis of the preparation

The accompanying interim financial information for the 3-month period ending 31 March 2024, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

The presentation currency is euro (EUR). The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless indicated otherwise. Financial statements for the 3-month period ending 31 March 2023 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2023 are audited by the external auditor UAB PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial information, are disclosed below. Critical accounting estimates remain the same as disclosed in the audited annual financial statements for period ending 31 December 2023.

IFRS 16, Leases

Based on IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities as of 31 December 2023 was 6%. The incremental borrowing remained unchanged in 2024.

In applying IFRS 16, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
  • reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
  • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases (which were recognized as expense on a straight-line basis);
  • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
  • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Revaluation of biological assets (crops)

The Group estimates the total fair value of crops using following formula and assumptions:

Fair value of the crop = Costs incurred + (Cultivated area in ha * forecasted average yield as tonnes per ha * forecasted price per tonne – cultivated area in ha * forecasted total cost per ha) * T, where:

  • Cost incurred is cost actually incurred for particular crop during the season till the reporting date.
  • Cultivated area in ha is an area of particular crop seeded and expected to be harvested.
  • Forecasted average yield tonnes per ha.
  • Forecasted price per tonne. Contracted average sales prices are used for fair value estimation adjusted according to the development in the market.
  • Forecasted total cost per ha. Average historical cost levels after evaluating the current situation.
  • T is a time portion, spanning from the sowing date to the forecasted harvest date.

Revaluation of biological assets (livestock)

Fair value of milking cows is valued by using the discounted cash flow method. The model uses projected revenues from milk sales over the remaining useful life of each animal using a forecasted milk price. Milk price forecast is the average milk price assumption of the following 4 years was. Current cow herd has an estimated working life of 1 to 4 years. At the end of the working period the cow is estimated to be sold for meat. The forecasted revenues are reduced with costs directly related to herd growing (feeds, medicines, employee salaries and other). The free cash-flow is discounted with post tax WACC.

For valuation of other livestock the Group calculates the fair value by taking the average price of meat per kilo. For young bulls and heifers, the value of livestock is determined by using the market values of meat (different for different groups of animals) and multiplying the price of 1 kg by the total weight of specific group of animals.

Share-based payments

Total cumulative expenses of share-based payments are calculated based on the formula described below. The expenses are accrued in the profit (loss) statement and equity based on the days lapsed since the grant date till the reporting date. Each year the entity will revise the expense to reflect the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest.

The total expenses of share-based payments are calculated based on the formula:

Share price @ grant date x Granted shares x (1-annual staff turnover)^(vesting period)

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless stated otherwise)

Where:

The share price of options is based on the closing price at grant date at which the company's shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

The grant date of the Option is set to be the date of the share-based payment agreement between the Company and the receiver as all the terms and conditions are set in this agreement and there are no other arrangements which would need to be confirmed at a later date.

Granted shares – shares to be granted to employee based on the Option agreement.

Staff turnover – chance that the option will be exercised is adjusted by the forecasted staff turnover percent during the vesting period. The ratio is calculated based on historical staff turnover data of 2 years. The historical staff turnover data includes turnover only of the positions which are set to receive the share-based payments. The turnover of other positions is excluded from the ratio.

There are option agreements which are signed with a special condition – that the receivers do not need to fulfil the service condition, but they will still need to wait 3 years vesting period before being able to exercise the option. Due to this staff turnover adjustment is excluded in the calculation of the expenses of these options as it does not affect their chances to receive the option.

Vesting period is set in the Option agreement and is equal to 3 years.
