Mr. Philippe Fabri, Director and Mr. Daniel Haas, Chief Financial Officer, indicate that, to the best of their knowledge,
(a) the interim financial statements prepared as at 30 June 2024, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, the financial position and the profit or loss of Socfinasia S.A. and of all the entities included in consolidation, and
(b) the interim management report fairly represents the evolution and results of the Company and all the entities included in the consolidation.
The Board of Directors meeting held on 25 September 2024 reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024.
These interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited, nor have they been subject to a limited review by the independent statutory auditor.
The Company holds interests in companies that operate directly or indirectly in South-East Asia, in the production of rubber and palm oil.
There were no changes in the portfolio during the first half of 2024.
As at 30 June 2024, the consolidated result attributable to the Group is EUR 15.2 million compared to EUR 18.6 million as at 30 June 2023. This results in a net profit per share of EUR 0.78 compared to EUR 0.95 as at 30 June 2023.
Consolidated revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amount to EUR 86.4 million compared to EUR 85.9 million in the previous period (EUR +0.5 million). This variation in turnover is mainly due to the increase of the market price (EUR +8.8 million), compensated by the impact of the exchange rate between the sales currencies versus the reporting currency (EUR 5.3 million) and the decrease in quantities sold (EUR 2.0 million).
Operating profit amounts to EUR 28.0 million compared to EUR 25.5 million during the previous period.
EBITDAG amounts to EUR 38.3 million versus EUR 38.1 million during the previous period.
Financial expenses amount to EUR 3.6 million as at 30 June 2024 compared to EUR 3.9 million during the first half of 2023. They mainly include foreign exchange losses for EUR 3.2 million.
Other financial income increase to EUR 6.8 million as at 30 June 2024 compared to EUR 6.1 million as at 30 June 2023 as a result of the increase in foreign exchange gains (EUR 1.0 million).
The income tax expense amounts to EUR 11.4 million as compared to EUR 10.9 million during last period due to the increase in profit before taxes.
As at 30 June 2024, Socfinasia's total balance sheet amounts to EUR 326.4 million compared to EUR 363.4 million as at 31 December 2023.
Socfinasia's assets consist of:
Shareholders' equity amounts to EUR 225.3 million compared to EUR 247.9 million as at 31 December 2023. The decrease in shareholders' equity of EUR 22.6 million is mainly due to the distribution of 2023 dividend (EUR ‑39.2 million) and to the half year profit (EUR +15.2 million).
Based on the consolidated shareholders' equity, the net value per shareG is EUR 11.50 as at 30 June 2024 compared to EUR 12.65 as at 31 December 2023.
As at 28 June 2024, Socfinasia's share price is EUR 15.30.
Current and non-current liabilities amount to EUR 94.3 million compared to EUR 107.8 million as at 31 December 2023, a decrease of EUR 13.5 million mainly due to the decrease of other payables by EUR 18.2 million.
G: terms are explained part "Glossary" at the end of the interim report
As at 30 June 2024, cash and cash equivalents amount to EUR 110.4 million, a decrease of EUR 4.1 million during the first half of the year (compared to a decrease of EUR 18.9 million for the first half of 2023).
Net cash flows from operations amount to EUR 19.9 million during the first half of 2024 (EUR 30.1 million in the first half of 2023) and cash flows from operating activities amount to EUR 43.1 million (EUR 42.9 million in the first half of 2023).
Investing activities amount to EUR 22.0 million (compared to EUR 10.6 million during the first half of 2023), which is mainly due to the reimbursement of loans and advances from Socfin for EUR 25.0 million.
Financing activities mobilised EUR 45.9 million (compared to EUR 59.7 million in the first half of 2023), considering the distribution of dividend for EUR 45.6 million (compared to EUR 32.1 million during the first half of 2023).
The results will depend, to a large extent, on factors which are beyond the control of the management of the Group, namely the political and economic conditions in the countries where the subsidiaries are established, the changes in price of rubber and palm oil, and the price of the Indonesian rupiah and the US dollar against the Euro. The Group, for its part, pursues its policy of keeping cost prices as low as possible and improving its production capacity.
In view of the results of 30 June of the Company and the business outlook of the affiliates, the Board of Directors plan to distribute an interim dividend of EUR 2.00 per share as per Article 461-3 of the Companies Act. This interim dividend will be paid in November 2024.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
Socfinasia S.A. (the "Company") was incorporated on 20 November 1972. Its corporate purpose qualifies it as a soparfiG since the Annual General Meeting of 10 January 2011. The registered office is established at 4, avenue Guillaume, L-1650 in Luxembourg.
The Company holds participations in companies that operate directly or indirectly in South-East Asia, in the production of rubber and palm oil.
The Board of Directors held a meeting on 25 September to examine and approve the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2024.
The interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2024 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34. This financial report does not include all the information required by the revised IAS 1 with regards to the annual financial report.
The accounting and calculation methods adopted in the interim financial statements are identical to those used in the annual financial statements at 31 December 2023.
On 1 January 2024, the Group adopted the following amendments without any material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements:
In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
On 25 May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 "Supplier Finance Arrangements": the amendments clarify the characteristics of an arrangement for which an entity is required to provide the information. They also require entities to disclose information that allows users to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Such information may consist of the terms and conditions of these arrangements and the carrying amount of the supplier finance arrangement financial liabilities.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2023 and in particular Note 1.24 on the use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to IFRS. The Group's Management has had to use assumptions based on its best estimates which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, the information related to contingent assets and liabilities, and the carrying amount of income and expenses recognised during the period. Depending on the changes to these assumptions, or changes of economic conditions, the amounts that will appear in the Group's future consolidated financial statements may differ from current estimates. Sensitive accounting methods, for which the Group has used estimates, mainly concern the application of IAS 19 (Employee Benefits), IAS 2 (Inventories), IAS 41 (Agriculture), IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment), IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets), IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 16 (Leases).
In the absence of observable data within the scope of IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement), the Group has developed a model for measuring the fair value of agricultural production based on local production costs and conditions. This method is inherently more volatile than the historical cost method.
The Company's revenue and operating income are seasonal. Palm oil and rubber production are influenced by external factors such as climate, location and the biological nature of the palm and rubber trees. The palm activity is more productive in the first half of the calendar year, whereas the rubber business is more productive in the second half. The extent of this seasonality can vary between years.
The following exchange rates have been used to convert the consolidated interim accounts:

There were no changes in the consolidation scope during the first half of 2024.
