SEMIANNUAL REPORT
for the period of six months ending 30 June 2021
Overview
ASTARTA's consolidated revenues amounted to EUR151m in 1H21, 12% down y-o-y, mainly due to lower contribution of the Agricultural segment which generated 18% of consolidated revenues.
Revenues in the Agricultural segment declined by 50% to EUR27m on lower sales volumes of corn. Revenues in the Sugar segment increased to EUR59m, or 39% of the total consolidated revenues.
The Soybean Processing and the Cattle Farming segments generated EUR45m and EUR18m of revenues, correspondingly, vis-à-vis EUR40m and EUR18m in 1H20.
Gross profit increased by 91% y-o-y to EUR124m and Gross margin from 38% to 82% as changes in biological assets per IAS41 were higher on increase in expected commodity prices.
Accordingly, EBITDA increased by 87% y-o-y to EUR125m and EBITDA margin from 39% to 83%.
Excluding the impact of IAS41, Gross margin improved from 26% to 27% and EBITDA margin – from 27% to 28%.

Revenues decreased by 50% y-o-y to EUR27m primarily on lower sales of corn by 55% y-o-y to 151kt reflecting lower 2020 crop harvest.
Gross margin increased from 82% in 1H20 to 337% in 1H21 as changes in biological assets per IAS41 were higher on increase in expected yields and prices.
The above lead to EBITDA growth from EUR53m in 1H20 to EUR100m in 1H21 and EBITDA margin from 97% to 365% correspondingly.

Expectations of strong wheat harvest in the Black Sea region and EU improved global production estimates meeting the increased demand and adding to global ending stocks of the crop. This resulted in intensification of pressure on wheat price in 1H21.
On the contrary to wheat corn global Supply & Demand estimates appeared to be in greater tension despite expected global production growth. Weather concerns in USA and slump in production estimates for Brazil supported the prices for corn in 1H21.

Global sugar prices, USD/t

Local sugar consumption dropped by 1/3 to 1.3-1.4mt since 2011.
Domestic production amounted 1.2mt in 2020 due to lower harvest. This pushed the local sugar prices to USD627 in 1H21, or by 75% y-o-y.
On back of more attractive local pricing environment versus the global one Ukraine's sugar exports plummeted to 2kt during 1H21 versus 63kt during 1H20.
Aiming at covering the possible sugar shortage in Ukraine ASTARTA intensified delivery of raw-cane sugar for processing in 2021 increasing the total amount to 74kt. As at the beginning of August 2021 ASTARTA produced 48kt of sugar from raw-cane sugar.
According to Ministry of Agriculture data the sugar beet planting area increased from 216kha in 2020 to 227kha in 2021, or by 5% y-o-y.
Global prices climbed to USD453, or by 22% y-o-y in 1H21, as a result of expected sugar deficit in current season on back of unfavourable weather conditions in the top producing countries.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021
1 BACKGROUND
Organisation and operations
These consolidated financial statements are prepared by ASTARTA Holding N.V. (the Company), a Dutch public company incorporated in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 9 June 2006 under the Dutch law.
The Company's legal address is Jan van Goyenkade 8, 1075 HP Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
On 4 July 2006 the shareholders of the Company contributed their shares in the Cyprus based company Ancor Investments Ltd to ASTARTA Holding N.V. After the contribution, ASTARTA Holding N.V. 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").
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, grain and oilseeds growing, soybean processing and cattle farming. The farmlands, sugar plants and cattle operations are mainly located in the Poltava, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Chernihiv and Kharkiv oblasts (administrative regions) of Ukraine. The Group's business is vertically integrated because sugar is produced primarily using own-grown sugar beet, soybeans are processed at own crushing facility and cattle farming uses in-house agricultural produce as feedstock.
(a) Ukrainian business environment
In 2020, the Ukrainian economy underwent contraction due to COVID-19 pandemic with real GDP decline of around 4% (2019: growth at 3%), modest annual inflation of 5% (2019: 4%), and weakening of the national currency by 4% to USD and 6% to EUR compared to previous year averages. Economic activity in 4Q2020 demonstrated recovery in real GDP. The main driver was growth in household consumption due to the shortening and postponement of the latest lockdown to January 2021 which is the period of seasonally lower business activity.
Sound fiscal and monetary management, including efforts to keep current public expenditures under control, helped reducing inflation in 2020. Strong remittances and inflows of foreign capital into the domestic bond market helped lowering the current account deficit and support international reserves.
Ukraine remains vulnerable to external shocks and commodity price cycles due to its reliance on commodity exports.
Starting from March 2020, the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") gradually decreased the discount rate for the first time in the last two years from 18% in April 2019 to 6% in June 2020, which is the historical minimum since the independence of Ukraine. In April 2021, the NBU raised the refinancing rate to 7.5%.
Further economic growth depends, to a large extent, upon success of the Ukrainian government in realization of planned reforms and recovery strategy, cooperation with the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"). In June 2020 the IMF approved a new 18-month USD 5 billion stand-by arrangement to the country with the immediate disbursement of USD 2 billion, which should finance budget expenditures to mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine restrictions. In addition, it should boost the international reserves this year, despite making significant repayments on external public debt.
In 2021, Ukraine faces significant public debt repayments, which will require mobilising substantial domestic and external financing in an increasingly challenging financing environment for emerging markets.
In February 2021 amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine on reducing the VAT rate from 20% to 14% on transactions for the import and supply of certain agricultural products in Ukraine came into force. Starting from 1 March 2021 reduced VAT rate to 14% will be applied to transactions with certain types of agricultures produce (including wheat, corn, barley, soybean).

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021
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 has not been resolved to date. The relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation has remained strained.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2021 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 2020 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
(b) Going Concern
These accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Group will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Group's EBITDA and financial position for the previous two years were affected by the economic environment and downturn on the sugar markets caused by the decreased sugar prices. This way several financial and non-financial covenants included in the Group's loans and borrowings were in breach.
During 2020, all the financial institutions where Astarta was in breach of covenants provided waivers covering 31 December 2020. Also, three out of five banks agreed to amend contractual arrangements by revising certain covenant ratios going forward, so that for the subsequent periods Astarta would not be in the breach anymore. The key amendment relates to replacement of the debt service coverage ratio with the EBITDA to finance charges ratio, which Group is in the capacity to meet going forward. Such a willingness of financial institution towards the Astarta stems from the facts that:
- Astarta is a borrower with a good reputation supported by a sound history of contractual payments;
- The Group operates in an industry attractive for investors (agriculture is one of the key drivers and foreign currency generators for the Ukrainian economy).
During 2020, due to the solid liquidity position the Group further repaid UAH 5,225,025 thousand (EUR 169,430 thousand). The total loan balance outstanding as at 31 December 2020 is equal to UAH 1,844,194 thousand (EUR 53,086 thousand), 2019: UAH 3,947,486 thousand (EUR 149,402 thousand) and is spread among 10 different financial institutions. During six months 2021 the Group received new loans in amount UAH 1,934,484 thousand (EUR 57,757 thousand) and repaid UAH 1,169,337 thousand (EUR 34,912 thousand). The total loan balance outstanding as at 30 June 2021 is equal to UAH 2,555,402 thousand (EUR 79,111 thousand). Management considers it is important to maintain external financing with a relatively wide range of financial institutions in order to build a sound credit history and ensure fast access to the financial resources at favourable financial terms.
As at 30 June 2021 management also prepared the forecast of covenants up until and covering Q3 2022. Based on this, management expects that the Group will be able to meet the covenants for the upcoming 12 months from the date of this financial statements with considerable headroom for the contracted ratios. In management's view, the sustainability of headroom will be ensured through the reduced level of external debts as well as further improvement of operational market conditions given the second year of a sugar deficit on the global and local markets and higher sugar prices that will positively affect 2021 financial results given the current stocks of sugar.
Furthermore, Astarta's operations had not been materially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the outdoor nature of its agricultural operations and prompt management response aimed at mitigating the impact in line with the guidelines issued by the Government of Ukraine to guarantee the safety of its employees and to preserve continuity of business operations.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2021
Based on these factors, management has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to manage the business in the upcoming 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Management will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all steps possible to mitigate any effects.
Based on these and other steps the Group is taking management concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements on a going concern basis.
(c) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2021. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
- Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
- Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
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 contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
- The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights
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.
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. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
- Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
- Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests
- Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
- Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
- Recognises the fair value of any investment retained
- Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

All subsidiaries, joint operations and the associate, except for Ancor Investments Ltd and Astarta Trading GmbH, are incorporated in Ukraine. Ancor Investments Ltd is incorporated in Cyprus, Astarta Trading GmbH is incorporated in Switzerland.
(d) Basis of accounting
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for buildings and machines and equipment classified as property, plant and equipment, biological assets and available for sale investments stated at fair value and agricultural produce stated at cost which is determined as fair value less estimated costs to sell at the point of harvest.
(e) Functional and presentation currency
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 Cypriot subsidiary is Euro (EUR). The operating subsidiaries, joint venture and associate registered in Ukraine have the Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) as their functional currency.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in UAH 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 consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean that the Group could realize 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 purposes of presenting financial information in EUR, assets and liabilities of the Ukrainian subsidiaries, joint venture and associate are translated from UAH to EUR using the closing rates at each reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless the exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in Currency translation reserve.
The principal Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH") exchange rates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
| Currency | Average reporting period rate | Reporting date rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | 30 June 2021 | 31 December 2020 | 30 June 2020 | |
| EUR | 33.49 | 28.61 | 32.30 | 34.74 | 29.95 |
| USD | 27.78 | 25.98 | 27.18 | 28.27 | 26.69 |
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.

21 SEGMENT REPORTING
At 30 June 2021 and 2020, the group is organized into four main operating/ reportable segments:
- production and wholesale distribution of sugar (sugar production)
- growing and selling grain and oilseeds crops (agriculture)
- dairy cattle farming (cattle farming)
- soybean processing
Other Group operations mainly comprise the production and sales of fodder and gas. Neither of these constitutes a separately reportable 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 management board.
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 sugar segment is highly seasonal, as sugar plants normally operate during September – December processing sugar beets harvested in September-November.
The agriculture segment, in the first half of the Group's financial year due to seasonality and the implications of IAS 41, reflects the effects of the valuation of biological assets and the sale of carried forward agri produce, while financial performance during the second half of the financial year mainly reflects the sale of crops and the effects of the revaluation of agri produce carried forward.
The amounts provided to the Board of Directors with respect of total assets are measured in a manner consistent with that of the consolidated financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. Investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are not considered to be segment assets. The amounts of total liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the consolidated financial statements. Liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment.
All unallocated items relate to overall Group's operational activity and may not be allocated to the identified reporting segments.
