As of October 24th, c.1.5mt of Ukrainian commodities were exported via this route from the ports of Greater Odesa, incl. 0.7mt of grain, according to MinAgro.
During 9M23 exports of grain and oilseeds totaled 37mt (+28% y-o-y). EU was the key destination at 55% of total. Astarta's share exports was 1%.
According to MinAgro, grain and oilseeds harvest is expected at 79mt (incl. 22mt of wheat) vs 72mt in 2022. Winter wheat sowing area for 2024 harvest is estimated at 4.4mt unless adverse weather impacts the acreage.
Ukrainian wheat traded at EUR140/t (-29% y-o-y), corn price down by 24% y-o-y to EUR147/t amid lower global prices and complicated export logistics.

Sugar Production segment showed a robust performance in 9M23 with revenues boosted by 32% y-o-y to EUR142m. Stronger results reflected the combination of 24% y-o-y higher sugar sales volumes of 203kt and an 8% y-o-y higher selling price of EUR684/t.
Gross profit up by 36% y-o-y to EUR41m and gross margin slightly widened to 29%.
EBITDA increased by 35% y-o-y to EUR35m, with margin stable at 24%.

The notes on pages 30 to 51 are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by ASTARTA HOLDING PLC (the "Company"), the Company is a Cyprus public limited company and registered under the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. The Company was incorporated as ASTARTA Holding N.V. in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 9 June 2006.
On 06 April 2022 the Board of Directors of ASTARTA Holding N.V. adopted a resolution on the approval of the proposal of the Board to convert ASTARTA Holding N.V., a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) governed by Dutch law, into ASTARTA HOLDING PLC, a public limited company governed by Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, i.e. by way of a cross-border migration of the registered office of the Company without its dissolution or liquidation followed by its subsequent reregistration in accordance with Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.
On 16 June 2022 conversion proposal was approved on Annual General meeting of shareholders.
With effect from 16 September 2022, the Company's registered office and corporate domicile was transferred to Cyprus and the Company is registered in the Registrar of Companies in Cyprus.
On and from 16 September 2022, the Company's legal address is Lampousas 1, 1095, Nicosia, Cyprus.
On 4 July 2006 the shareholders of the Company contributed their shares in the Cyprus based company Ancor Investments Ltd to ASTARTA HOLDING PLC. After the contribution, ASTARTA HOLDING PLC owns 100% of share capital of Ancor Investment Ltd.
Ancor Investments Ltd owns 99.99% of the capital of LLC Firm "Astarta-Kyiv" (Astarta-Kyiv) registered in Ukraine, which in turn controls a number of subsidiaries in Ukraine (hereinafter the Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Group" or "Astarta").
On 16 August 2006 the Company's shares were admitted for trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The first quotation of the shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange took place on 17 August 2006.
The Group specializes in sugar production, crop growing, soybean processing and cattle farming. The croplands, sugar and soybean processing plants and cattle operations are mainly located in the Poltava, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Ternopil, Chernihiv, Cherkasy and Kharkiv oblasts (administrative regions) of Ukraine. The Group's business is vertically integrated because sugar is produced primarily using own-grown sugar beet and soybeans processed are also grown in-house.
The events which led to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in February 2014 and the conflict in the East of Ukraine which started in spring 2014 have not been resolved to date. On 24 February 2022 the Russian Federation started full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. Following that the Ukrainian government introduced a martial law throughout Ukraine.
Under martial law the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") introduced a range of temporary restrictions that had impact on the economic environment, such as restriction of cross-border payments in foreign currency, fixing the official exchange rate for USD as of 24 February 2022 at 29,25 UAH per 1 USD, suspending debit transactions from the accounts of residents of the state that carried out an armed aggression against Ukraine. On 20 July 2022 the NBU increased the official exchange rate for USD by 25% up to 36,57 UAH per 1 USD. On 3 June 2022 the NBU increased the refinancing rate from 10% up to 25%, and on 27 October 2023 the refinancing rate was decreased to 16%. These measures were designed to preserve the stability of the Ukrainian financial system, support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and functioning of critical infrastructure.
Inflation picked up ahead of the military invasion and continued to unfold after the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February. Food and fuel experienced the highest spikes due to surging demand and disruptions in supply chains. Disrupted logistics and higher production costs along with increase in global energy prices continues to fuel inflation in Ukraine.
In March 2022 the government introduced a zero quota on exports of mineral fertilizers, cattle, cattle meat, rye, buckwheat, millet, sugar and table salt. Exports of wheat, corn, chicken meat, eggs, sunflower oil were subject to licensing. Export of gas was prohibited. Later in 2022-2023 zero quotas were revised and export of sugar, mineral fertilizers, cattle, cattle meat, rye, buckwheat, millet become subject to licensing. But for the period 5 June-15 September 2023 quota on export of sugar was limited by 20 000 tones and was valid only for export to Romania.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine the seaports became blocked and the transportation of goods by Black and Azov seas stopped. Transportation of goods continued only by the Danube river, railways and trucks. On 22 July 2022 Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, and the UN signed a deal to unblock three Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea to export food. On 1 August 2022 the first ship carrying Ukrainian grain left the port of Odesa for the first time since the start of the Russian invasion. Grain deal was further prolonged in November 2022 for 120 days and then in March 2023 for the next 120 days. Currently grain deal is not prolonged.
The Ukrainian government took various measures to support agricultural operations in Ukraine. The government approved a mechanism of state guarantees for the loans to small and medium-sized farmers.
Ukraine's economic growth depends upon resolving the Russian invasion of Ukraine, successful implementation of necessary reforms the recovery strategy by the Ukrainian government and cooperation with international donors.
The ongoing political and economic uncertainties persist due to the Russian military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and they continue to affect the Ukrainian economy and the Group's business.
These condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law Cap.113.
On 24 February 2022 Russia initiated a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. This was followed up by the immediate enactment of martial law by the government of Ukraine and corresponding introduction of the related temporary restrictions that impact the economic environment. Considering the above, Astarta has assessed the going concern assumption based on which the financial statements have been prepared.
Geographical diversification of the Group's assets' location allows it to keep most of the assets apart from the regions under intense military hostilities. The assets of the Group are located in the Central part of Ukraine (the Poltava region), the Northern part of Ukraine (the Chernihiv region), the East (the Kharkiv region) and the Western part (the Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr and Ternopil regions). As at the date of the issue of these condensed consolidated financial statements:
In 2023 the Group operates all of its sugar plants and a new sugar production season is in process.
As of the date of the issue of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the soybean processing plant operated at its normal crushing capacity.
The management of the Group expects to continue shipments of the goods to local buyers and to nearby EU countries. In-house agricultural and office IT solutions allow Astarta to support business processes remotely under current conditions if needed. However, in case of any disruption to centralized systems, all operating subsidiaries can operate autonomously.
Astarta continues to sell crops, sugar, milk and soybean crushing products on the domestic market. Since exports by means of sea are partly limited, the Group also realises export sales via railway and using trucks.
Astarta is not trading with the entities on the Ukrainian, EU and US sanctions lists or entities associated with the individuals under those sanctions.
As at 30 September 2023 the Group was in compliance with covenants on its loans. The Group does not foresee the breach of covenants during 2023. As at 30 September 2023 management reviewed the forecast of covenants up until and covering Q3 2024. Based on this, management expects that the Group will be able to meet the covenants
Condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the nine months ended 30 September 2023
for the upcoming 12 months from the date of these financial statements with considerable headroom for the contracted ratios. In management's view, the sustainability of headroom will be ensured through the stable level of external long-term debt amid further improvement of market conditions given a surplus of sugar on the domestic market but Ukrainian sugar producers could freely trade with EU markets until 5 June 2023 at European prices since the EU lifted import duties on sugar for Ukraine and higher sugar prices should positively affect 2023 financial results given the current stocks of sugar. Stable level of external long-term debt will be maintained through the servicing of existing debt as per initial loan schedules. The Group repaid EUR 80 million of loans in January-September 2023. Management does not intend to attract additional long-term financing in 2023.
As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, condition and safety of the Group's assets are not significantly affected by the military invasion by the Russian Federation and the operating, logistic processes were reassessed by the Group to ensure continuity of its business, as described above. Management is taking appropriate actions to continuously revise its businesses processes and practices and prepared a 12 months budget based on the assumption that the degree of intensity of military hostilities in the regions where the Group's assets are located and the area of the Ukrainian territory currently invaded by the Russian troops is not largely increased; the Group is able to carry out sowing and harvesting of crops; the railway infrastructure performs its function and is used as a way of executing export sales due to limitation of seaports usage; the Group will be able to obtain export licenses for some of its agricultural products.
While the Group's operations were not largely impacted so far and management prepared its 12 months budget based on the known facts and events, there is a significant uncertainty over the future development of the Russian armed intervention, its duration and short and long-term impact on the Group, its assets, employees and operations. There might be multiple scenarios of further development with unknown likelihood, and the magnitude of the impact on the Group might vary from significant to severe. This represents a single source of material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is frequently assessing the current situation and making appropriate adjustments to its business operations to mitigate any affects on the Group. Based on these and other steps the Group is taking, management concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Group will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2023. Subsidiaries are those investees that are controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group exercises, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the nine months ended 30 September 2023
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through income statement. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in the income statement.
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for buildings and machinery and equipment classified as property, plant and equipment accounted under revaluation model, biological assets at fair value less estimated costs to sell and agricultural produce stated at cost which is determined as fair value less estimated costs to sell at the point of harvest.
Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the enterprise. Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains except that they are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Substantially all the Group's subsidiaries are Ukrainian limited liability companies. Under Ukrainian law, a participant in a limited liability company may unilaterally withdraw from the company. In such case, the company is obliged to pay the withdrawing participant's a share of the net assets of the company not later than in 12 months from the date of the withdrawal. Redemption amount of participant's a share of the net assets of the company is assessed based on market value of net assets. Since the non-controlling participants in limited liability companies did not announce their intentions to withdraw, their interest was recognised as a non-current liability. Limited liability company's noncontrolling participants' share in the net profit/loss is recorded as a finance expense.
Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the separate financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency of the Company and its Swiss and Cypriot subsidiaries is Euro (EUR). The operating subsidiaries registered in Ukraine have the Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) as their functional currency.
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in UAH, which is a primary presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated. For the benefit of certain users, the Group also presents all numerical information in EUR. The translation of UAH denominated assets and liabilities into EUR in these condensed consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean that the Group could realise or settle in EUR the reported values of these assets and liabilities. Likewise, it does not necessarily mean that the Group could return or distribute the reported EUR value retained earnings to its shareholders. For the purpose of presenting financial information in EUR, assets and liabilities of the Ukrainian subsidiaries are translated from UAH to EUR using the official closing rates at each reporting date. Components of equity are translated at the historic rate. Annual realisation of revaluation surplus is translated at historical rate. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the quarter, unless the exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Disclosure line items are translated using annual weighted average official exchange rate. For translation of UAH figures into EUR figures for the cash flow statement the Group uses average UAH/EUR exchange rate. For the purposes of presenting financial information in UAH, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries for which functional currency in EUR are translated from EUR to UAH using the official closing rates at each reporting date and income and expenses are translated at the official spot rates at the date of transaction.
Translation differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the Currency translation reserve.
The principal Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH") exchange rates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
| Currency | Average reporting period rate | Reporting date rate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 30 September 2023 |
31 December 2022 |
30 September 2022 |
||
| EUR | 39.63 | 32.90 | 38.55 | 38.95 | 35.56 | |
| USD | 36.57 | 30.95 | 36.57 | 36.57 | 36.57 |
The average exchange rates for each period are calculated as the arithmetic mean of the exchange rates for all trading days during this period. The sources of exchange rates are the official rates set by the National Bank of Ukraine.
All foreign exchange gain or loss that occurs on revaluation of monetary balances, presented in foreign currencies, is presented as a separate line in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
The following amended standards became effective from 1 January 2023, but did not have any material impact on the Group:

* Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: These 2020 Amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities are non-current if the entity has a substantive right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement for at least twelve months. The guidance no longer requires such a right to be unconditional. Management's expectations whether they will subsequently exercise the right to defer settlement do not affect classification of liabilities. The right to defer only exists if the entity complies with any relevant conditions as of the end of the reporting period. A liability is classified as current if a condition is breached at or before the reporting date even if a waiver of that condition is obtained from the lender after the end of the reporting period. Conversely, a loan is classified as non-current if a loan covenant is breached only after the reporting date. In addition, the amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. 'Settlement' is defined as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other resources embodying economic benefits or an entity's own equity instruments.
Under the 2022 Amendments, a covenant affects whether right to defer settlement exists at the end of the reporting period if compliance with the covenant is required on or before the end of the reporting period. These amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. An entity is required to disclose information about these covenants and related information in the notes to the financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Unless otherwise described above, the new standards and interpretations are not expected to affect significantly the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.

An operating segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other operating segments.
At 30 September 2023 and 2022, the group was organized into four main operating/ reportable segments:
Other Group operations mainly comprise of the production and sales of fodder and natural gas. Neither of these constitutes a separately reportable operating segment.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker that makes strategic decisions is the Board of Directors. Operating profit and net profit are the main measures of segment's profit or loss that the Group uses to evaluate performance and makes decisions about the allocation of resources. The reported measures are determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with those used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the financial statements.
Revenues from external customers are derived primarily from the sales of sugar, crops, soybean processing and cattle farming products and are measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement. Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
The amounts provided to the Board of Directors with respect of total assets are measured in a manner consistent with that of the condensed consolidated financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. The amounts of total liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment.
All unallocated items relate to overall Group's operating activity and may not be allocated to the identified reporting segments.
Unallocated assets mainly represent assets relating to corporate function, assets jointly used by segments and certain financial assets. Liabilities not allocated to segments are items related to corporate functions and certain financial liabilities.
