CROP GROWING SEGMENT

CHALLENGING 2017/2018 SEASON

Extreme climatic conditions in large areas of Europe, including Lithuania: heavy rains in autumn 2017 followed by drought in summer 2018
Due to acquisitions cash crop area increased by 50% to 27 thous. ha in the season 2017/2018, vs.18 thous. ha in 2016/2017
Rainy 2017 resulted in significantly larger areas seeded with summer crops: 80% in 2018 vs. 56% in 2017
Due to specifics of organic farming crop rotation and historically high profitability, about 49% (10.7 thous. Ha) of total summer crops area was seeded with the legumes such as peas and beans
Drought in summer 2018 had a negative impact on most crop yields
However legumes were effected particularly negatively by drought which led to significant negative effect on the bottom line of AUGA group
As generally organic crops are significantly more expensive and have higher margin, variations in yields (both positive or negative) creates significantly higher variation on segment's gross profit comparing to conventional farming business

WORKING CAPITAL CHANGES

DYNAMICS OF WORKING CAPITAL

*Adjusted working capital = Current biological assets + Trade receivables, advance payments and other receivables + Inventory – Trade payables – Other payables and current liabilities.

The adjusted working capital formula eliminates cash and financing elements allowing the reader to see how well the short-term assets and liabilities directly related to operations of the Group are being utilized.
