II. MANAGEMENT REPORT

2.1. Overall results

The aggregate sales of AUGA group AB and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group) amounted to EUR 17.56 million in the 1st quarter of 2022, representing a 10% decrease on the same period last year, when aggregate sales were EUR 19.48 million. The lower sales in Q1 2022 were due to the lower harvest of the previous year. However, the final result reflects the activities of 2022 - the Group's gross profit increased by 25% in Q1 2022 and was EUR 5.65 million whereas the gross profit in Q1 2021 reached EUR 4.51 million. This growth was mainly due to the crop growing segment, due to a significant increase in production prices. Over a period of three months, the Group's net profit amounted to EUR 1.21 million.

According to the Group, the EBITDA amounted to EUR 6.71 million in the three months of 2022 and was 17% higher compared to the same period last year, when EBITDA amounted to EUR 5.74 million.

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 2021/2022

The total cultivated land area by the Group amounted to 38.6 thousand hectares (ha) in the 2021/2022 season and is slightly less than the cultivated area in the 2020/2021 season. In the 2021/2022 season, 30.2 thousand ha is seeded with crops (30.9 thousand in the 2020/2021 season) out of which 11.3 thousand ha is dedicated to wheat, 6.2 thousand ha to legumes and 12.3 thousand ha to other cash crops. The majority - 10.2 thousand ha out of total 11.3 thousand ha - of wheat will be winter wheat 2020 as winter crops usually have higher yield potential compared to summer alternatives. The proportion of winter wheat out of total area of wheat planted will be increased by 5% compared to the season of 2020/2021. Forage crops comprise 7.2 thousand ha in the 2021/2022 season compared to 6.8 thousand ha in the 2020/2021 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 2022 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) * $T^*$ (1 - x), where:

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

  • Cost incurred is cost actually incurred for a particular crop during the 2021/2022 season.
  • 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 sale of the 2021/2022 harvest.
  • Forecasted total cost per ha. Actual costs incurred during the 2020/2021 season which are adjusted by 5% upwards due to the growth of the main cost components.
  • 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 2022, the average completion percentage estimated for current winter crops was around 63% depending on the crop.
  • X is an adjustment parameter for possible unexpected negative effects to the harvest. 10% was used in fair value estimations as of 31 March 2022.

The formula discussed above will be used to estimate fair value of cash crops (winter and summer crops) for coming quarters as well 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 forage crop even at its point of harvest is measured at production cost incurred on forage crop. In other words, forage crop production cost is 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 price of the forage crops. Due to this the net result on revaluation of forage crops is equal to zero.

Weather conditions in the fall of 2021 were favorable for preparatory land works for the season of 2021/20212. As a result, seeding and land preparation works for winter cash crops to be harvested in the season of 2021/2022 were completed on time. In 2021, the Group sowed around 17.1 thousand ha of cash crops - wheat, rapeseed, barley, seed clover and vicia - which will be harvested in 2022. For comparison, in the 2020/2021 season around 15.99 thousand ha of winter cash crops were sown in the autumn of 2020.

As of 31 March 2022 summer cash crops' seeding was still in process and no significant biological transformation was present as of 31 March 2022. Therefore, the production costs of these crops were used as a fair value indicator.

Due to the rising market prices, which had the biggest effect, and the increased area of winter crops, the fair value of crops has increased compared to 2021. As of 31 March 2022, the Group recognized a EUR 5.86 million gain on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value for winter crops and seed clover. It should be noted that as of 31 December 2021 Group recognised gain of EUR 2.33 million on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value for the 2021/2022 season's crops. Thus, gain on the initial recognition of biological assets at fair value accounted for in the first quarter of 2022 amounts to EUR 3.53 million.

Crop growing segment sales results

Total revenue generated from sales in the crop growing segment amounted to EUR 5.09 million in 2022. This is a 32% decrease in revenue compared to 2021, when sales revenue was EUR 7.53 million.

Revenue of the crop growing segment has fallen since the quantity of products sold has decreased. This occurred due to the smaller harvest of 2021 when compared to the harvest of last season.

The crop growing segment's cost of sales for the 3 months of 2022 amounted to EUR 5.08 million versus EUR 8 million in 2021. In order to assess the results of each segment more precisely, the transactions between segments are executed based on fixed pricing, thus, starting from 2022 such transactions are presented separately and amounted to a loss of EUR 0.73 million to the crop growing segment in the 1st quarter of 2022.

Agricultural subsidies and gross profit of the crop growing segment

Total amount of agricultural subsidies accrued in 3 months of 2022 was EUR 2.42 million compared to EUR 2.38 million during the same period in 2021. Accrued subsidies amount is based on calculations according to currently applicable requirements of subsidising programmes regulations.

The gross profit 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 improved in 2022 when compared to last year due to the increased gain on revaluation of biological assets at fair value.

2.3. Dairy segment overview

According to the Group's data, the results of the dairy segment are consistently getting better: milk yield is increasing while the growth of products' prices contribute to the improvement of the segment's financial indicators.

Total sales revenue of the dairy segment amounted to EUR 4.05 million in the 1st quarter of 2022 which represents a 23% increase compared to the 1st quarter of 2021 (EUR 3.28 million). The growth of revenue is a result of increased prices of milk and growth in production of milk. The Group produced 13% more milk due to an improved milk yield (from 21.8 kg per vow per day to 22.7 kg per cow per day) and a bigger cow herd (from 3,503 to 3,591).

In the 3 months of 2022 the average price of milk sold was around EUR 474 per tonne or 17% higher comparing to the same period last year when it was EUR 406 per tonne.

The dairy segment's cost of sales amounted to EUR 3.59 million during the 3 months of 2022 compared to EUR 3.26 million during the same period last year.

During the 3 months of 2022, a loss of EUR 0.67 million was incurred due to the revaluation of biological assets (animal herd). In comparison, a EUR 0.55 million loss was incurred during the same period a year earlier.

In the 1st quarter of 2022, the Group has recorded a EUR 0.36 million gross profit increase in the dairy segment when compared to last year.

2.4. Mushroom segment overview

Sales in the mushroom growing segment were marginally lower compared to previous year and amounted to EUR 7.01 million during the 3 months of 2022. In the equivalent period in 2021, sales in this segment were EUR 7.26 million. The revenue from mushroom sales was lower by EUR 0.29 million due to a smaller production output while the sale of compost was EUR 0.04 million higher.

The ratio of organic mushrooms sold has increased and reached 9% during the 1st quarter of 2022. The same ratio last year was equal to 6.3%.

In the 3-month period of 2022, the average non-organic and organic mushrooms sales price has barely changed when compared to the equivalent period in 2021. The average price of 1 tonne of mushrooms sold in the first 3 months of 2022 was 2,255 EUR/tonne (in the 3-month period of 2021 the average price was 2,246 EUR/tonne).

The total cost of sales of the mushroom growing segment amounted to EUR 7.14 million in the 3-month period of 2022 and was EUR 0.38 million higher compared to the same period in 2021 when it was EUR 6.76 million. The average cost of 1 tonne of mushrooms sold increased from 2,103 EUR/tonne to 2,298 EUR/tonne. Cost of mushrooms mainly has shifted upwards due to growing energy costs.

According to the Group's data, the gross result of the segment for the 3-month period of 2022 amounted to a loss of EUR 0.13 million. During the same period last year, the Group has recorded a gross profit of EUR 0.50 million. The mushroom segment result was mostly influenced by growing energy and payroll costs. Even though the Group is consistently negotiating for revisions of sale prices, these efforts did not yet affect the results of the 1st quarter of 2022. Also, the result of the segment was negatively affected by previously sustained production challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic, because of which the production of the segment has not yet regained its previous capacity.

*excluding additions related with the right-of-use assets.

Investments in fixed assets in 2022 decreased. Although in 2021 were unprofitable, the Group maintains a strong focus on the implementation of the strategy: the development and implementation of new technologies, the improvement of cattle welfare and the improvement of agricultural activities.

In Q1 2022, almost EUR 10 million in financing agreements were signed with KUB Pagalbos verslui fondas and UAB Medicinos bankas, which in the short term will ensure the financial stability of the Group, and in the long term - will allow the Group to continue the development of the technological projects provided for in the strategy and start their commercialisation. It is expected that 2022 will become the key year for the Group's technological breakthrough - AUGA group, AB plans to start production of biomethane, begin production of the first batch of tractors, employ the produced tractors in the Group's fields, complete testing of specialised feed technology. These technological projects are part of the Group's strategy to become an AgTech company

IV. EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. Basis of the preparation

The accompanying interim financial information for the 3-month period ending 31 March 2022, 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 2021 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 2022 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2021 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 and assumptions remain the same as disclosed in the audited annual financial statements for period ending 31 December 2021.

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 2021 was 6%. The incremental borrowing remained unchanged in 2022.

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; $\bullet$
  • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases (which were $\bullet$ 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) * $T$ * (1 - x), where:

  • Cost incurred is cost actually incurred for particular crop during the season till the reporting date. $\bullet$
  • Cultivated area in ha is an area of particular crop seeded and expected to be harvested. $\bullet$
  • Forecasted average yield tonnes per ha. $\bullet$
  • 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 are used for fair value estimation.
  • T is a time portion, spanning from the sowing date to the forecasted harvest date.
  • X is an adjustment parameter for possible unexpected negative effects to the harvest.

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)

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 are 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.
