FISCAL FIRST QUARTER 2024 Financial and Operating Results


GRAPHIC

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 1 Bioceres Crop Solutions Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Financial and Operational Results 1Q24 revenues at $116.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA at $16.3 million Groundbreaking patent obtained in key product category ROSARIO, Argentina – November 13, 2023 – Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (Bioceres) (NASDAQ: BIOX), a leader in the development and commercialization of productivity solutions designed to regenerate agricultural ecosystems while making crops more resilient to climate change, announced financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2023. Financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. All comparisons in this announcement are year-over-year (YoY), unless otherwise noted. FINANCIAL & BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS • Total revenues in 1Q24 were $116.6 million, driven by post-drought recovery at the start of the Argentine summer crop season, and continued global expansion. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $16.3 million. • HB4 wheat harvest and soybean planting beginning in Latin America. HB4 wheat harvest underway in Argentina, with favorable preliminary results compared to non-HB4 varieties, in a season that was still affected by drought. By contrast, soybean planting is beginning under more favorable soil moisture conditions. • US Patent awarded for UHC® technology, a new gold standard in biological nitrogen fixation. Rate reduction with extended pre-inoculation period enables chemical substitution and new seed applied innovations. • Completed construction of a new state-of-the-art adjuvant production plant in Londrina, Brazil, which is strategically positioned to expand Bioceres’ footprint in the high-growth Brazilian market. MANAGEMENT REVIEW Mr. Federico Trucco, Bioceres’ Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The first quarter of fiscal 2023 was a record-setting quarter in which we nearly doubled revenues as compared to the prior year period. Part of our growth during 1Q23 resulted from anticipated 2Q23 sales, as weather conditions were quickly deteriorating in our main LATAM market, which ultimately positioned us to mitigate part of the effects of what became a historical drought, extending through the next three quarters. With rain patterns now normalized and plantings in our main markets progressing at full force, we have

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 2 regained our momentum, as reflected in our 1Q24 financial performance ─ momentum we expect will accelerate in subsequent quarters. On the HB4 front, the wheat harvest has started in northern Argentina with very favorable results for HB4 materials, in an otherwise difficult season for the crop. Soy plantings are advancing favorably with good moisture conditions in our targeted regions. Our Generation HB4 Program is currently running at 150% of prior season acreage, with a 6x increase in Brazil. An important milestone this quarter was the granting of our UHC® technology patent by the USPTO. This technology sets the new gold standard in biological nitrogen fixation for legumes, and further strengthens our leadership position in this important seed treatment category. The rate reduction achieved with our UHC® inoculants adds to other groundbreaking improvements in our Rizoderma (biofungicide), Rinotec (bioinsecticides/nematicides) and UBP (biostimulant) platforms of seed applied technologies, freeing-up more than 50% of the carrying capacity of seeds for new innovations or incremental nutrient loads.” Mr. Enrique Lopez Lecube, Bioceres´ Chief Financial Officer, added “As we kick-started the new fiscal year, we knew the comparison to last year´s first quarter would be a tough one. As comforting as it was to have an agile salesforce to act proactively in the face of a looming drought last year, we would much rather have normalized weather conditions like the ones we see today in Argentina and are enthused by the continued growth we see from new product categories in other markets. This quarter was marked by the recovery of adjuvant sales, exciting growth from our UBP biostimulants platform, margin expansion from the bioprotection portfolio and ─ though not as high as last year─ continued momentum from micro-beaded fertilizers sales that had good pre-season sales in 4Q23. Looking ahead, we expect our business in Argentina to outperform and believe there is an outsized opportunity for the continuous growth of our biologicals portfolio in attractive geographies such as the EU, US and Brazil.” KEY FINANCIAL METRICS (In millions of U.S. dollars, unless where otherwise stated) Table 1: 1Q24 Key Financial Metrics 1Q23 1Q24 % Change Revenue by Segment Crop Protection 63.0 55.9 (11%) Seed and Integrated Products 13.8 22.3 61% Crop Nutrition 50.3 38.3 (24%) Total Revenue 127.1 116.6 (8%) Gross Profit 51.4 45.0 (13%) Gross Margin 40.5% 38.6% (189 bps) Adjusted EBITDA 24.5 16.3 (34%) 1Q24 Summary: Total revenues in 1Q24 were $116.6 million, driven by post drought recovery in Argentina as the summer crop season got underway, and continued expansion in other target

In Crop Protection, high margin adjuvants experienced a strong recovery from previous quarters, while lower margin product sales were strategically exited, resulting in an overall segment sales decline but gross profit improvement. In Seed and Integrated Products, seed treatment pack sales were slightly lower than the previous fiscal year, but overall segment revenues increased. The increase was driven by sales of first-generation HB4 wheat inventories, commercialized as grain to selected processors operating under the Generation HB4 program. Gross profit for the category was practically constant due to lower margin wheat grain sales. Crop Nutrition saw solid performance in the quarter, although higher sales of biostimulants and sustained demand for micro-beaded fertilizers were overshadowed by last year´s extraordinary micro-beaded fertilizer performance on higher fertilizer prices and anticipated sales. Profit sharing from the agreement with Syngenta, for which compensation has been accrued in 3Q23, also contributed to the year-over-year decline. Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q24 was $16.3 million. FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS Revenues Table 2: 1Q24 Revenues by Segment (In millions of U.S. dollars) 1Q23 1Q24 % Change Revenue by segment Crop protection 63.0 55.9 (11%) Seed and integrated products 13.8 22.3 61% Crop nutrition 50.3 38.3 (24%) Total revenue 127.1 116.6 (8%) Revenues were $116.6 million in 1Q24, with most product categories exhibiting recovery after three consecutive quarters during which revenues from Argentina were negatively affected by the drought. Sustained global growth and resumed sales in Argentina were not enough to fully offset last year’s first fiscal quarter extraordinary performance and revenues decreased by 8% given the strong comparison. In Crop Protection, adjuvants saw the best performance, showing a strong recovery from previous quarters as the high season for this product began in Argentina, and a 32% increase year-over-year. High adjuvant sales ─ which are used in conjunction with products to prepare fields for soy and corn planting ─ reflect high planting intentions from farmers and the expectation of a favorable summer crop season ahead. Overall segment sales decreased by 11% as sales of low-margin third party products were exited in line with efforts to reduce working capital exposure. Seed and Integrated Product sales grew by 61%, mainly due to an increase in downstream sales of HB4, as inventories of first-generation varieties that have been replaced by improved-performance materials were sold as grain to selected processors operating under the Generation HB4 program. Downstream sales of HB4 grain that is originated from farmers enrolled in the identity-preserved Generation HB4 program are aligned with efforts to reduce working capital needs, expand the industrial footprint of HB4 wheat, and monetize on fully traced inventories with industrial quality or ESG-linked premiums.

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 4 In Crop Nutrition, Pro Farm biostimulant sales continued to deliver growth, particularly in Europe, and Argentina confirmed good prospects for the summer crop planting season ─ with sustained demand for micro-beaded fertilizers after a promising pre-season in 4Q23. These positive dynamics were overshadowed by extraordinary sales of micro-beaded fertilizers in 1Q23, mainly coming from high concentration of seasonal sales in the quarter and positive overall fertilizer pricing dynamics. In contrast, purchases of micro-beaded fertilizers are showing a progressive behavior this year, which makes for a difficult year-on-year comparison. Sharing of inoculant sales that now fall under the Syngenta agreement, and for which compensation has been accrued in 3Q23, also contributed to the year-over-year decline. Gross Profit & Margin Table 3: 1Q24 Gross Profit by Segment (In millions of U.S. dollars) 1Q23 1Q24 % Change Gross profit by segment Crop protection 17.9 19.7 10% Seed and integrated products 8.3 8.2 (1%) Crop nutrition 25.2 17.0 (32%) Total Gross profit 51.4 45.0 (13%) % Gross margin 40.5% 38.6% (189 bps) Gross profit for the quarter was $45.0 million, a 13% decline compared to the year ago metric and a slight decrease in gross margin. The decrease was largely explained by the Crop Nutrition segment, while gross profit from Crop Protection increased and was stable in Seed and Integrated Products. Despite the above-mentioned reduction in sales, Crop Protection gross profit increased by 10% as low-margin products were exited and partially replaced by higher-margin adjuvants revenues. Margin expansion on sales from the Pro Farm bioprotection portfolio contributed almost half of the quarterly gross profit increase for the segment. Gross profit from Seed and Integrated Products was practically constant due to product mix. Gross profit contribution from seed treatment products decreased slightly given the migration into the Syngenta agreement but was fully offset by increased gross profit from the premium on HB4 downstream sales of wheat grain. Gross profit from Crop Nutrition declined by 32%, mainly explained by the above-mentioned top-line performance of micro-beaded fertilizers. Lower fertilizer sales were also coupled with lower gross margins. During 1Q23, fertilizers saw unusually high gross margins due to positive pricing dynamics, that were normalized in this year’s quarter. Higher biostimulant sales brought gross margin expansion for the category, which helped to partially offset the drop from micro-beaded fertilizers. Operating Expenses Selling, General and Administrative expenses: SG&A expenses excluding D&A, transaction expenses and share-based incentives were $25.7 million in 1Q24, a 6% year-over-year decrease from 1Q23.


GRAPHIC

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 5 The decrease in SG&A was mainly driven by cost synergies realized in Pro Farm that had not yet been implemented in 1Q23, and sales and marketing efforts transferred to Syngenta under the existing distribution agreement. Cost control measures in Argentina also contributed to maintaining SG&A as a percentage of sales at 22%. Research and Development: Total R&D expenses excluding D&A and share-based incentives were $3.1 million in 1Q24, compared with $2.2 million in 1Q23. The increase is mainly related to the registration of commercially available Pro Farm products in South American markets, as well as regulatory and registration efforts related to the launch of the Rinotec platform in the Americas. R&D expenses represented 3% of sales during 1Q24. Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA Margin Table 4: 1Q24 Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (In millions of U.S. dollars) 1Q23 1Q24 Chg. %Chg.

The $6.4 million decline in gross profit was partially offset by improved operational performance of $2.3 million, $1.6 million from SG&A savings and a $0.7 million increase in JVs mainly driven by Synertech’s results. Beyond operational performance, R&D expenses increased by $0.9 million on higher registration efforts in Latin America and regulatory activity in Europe. Other income or expenses were $1.2 million, inclusive of residual inventory ramp-up costs. The net realizable value of agricultural products decreased by $1.4 million due to inventory valuation methodology.

The decline is mainly explained by one-time financial efficiencies from Argentine subsidiaries. 1 Net interest expenses from financial debt obligations, net of gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans held by Argentine subsidiaries as part of the company´s financial hedging strategy, as well as financial commissions, are the main financial metrics that management uses to assess Bioceres’ cost of financing. Exchange rate variations, net gains/losses due to the inflation effect on monetary items, and Changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities and others include items that are believed to have a limited impact on the underlying business, as a significant portion of both cash flows and financial debt obligations are linked to the U.S. dollar.

Use of non-IFRS financial information The company supplements the use of IFRS financial measures with non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net debt, Net interest expenses, Comparable figures which exclude the impact of IAS29 as explained below and pro forma numbers which are inclusive of historical Pro Farm financials. The non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-IFRS measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-IFRS measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. This non-IFRS financial measures should only be used to evaluate the company’s results of operations in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. In addition, other companies may report similarly titled measures, but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Management utilizes these non-IFRS metrics as performance measures in evaluating and making operational decisions regarding our business. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin The company defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) exclusive of financial income/(costs), income tax benefit/(expense), depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, inventory purchase allocation and one-time transactional expenses. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the company and its results. Adjusted EBITDA is among the measures used by the management team to evaluate the company’s financial and operating performance and make day-to-day financial and operating decisions. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and similarly titled measures


GRAPHIC

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 10 are frequently used by competitors, rating agencies, securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in the same industry. Management also believes that adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors because it provides additional information about trends in the company’s core operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including: • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, including cash requirements for working capital needs or contractual commitments. • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect financial expenses, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness, or interest income or other financial income. • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes. • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized often will need to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements. • Although share-based compensation is a non-cash charge, adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation; and • Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA and similarly titled measures differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The company compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation in the combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, income/(loss) for the period or year.

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS FIRST QUARTER 2024 11 Net debt and net debt to adjusted EBITDA Net debt is defined as the sum of long and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents and other short-term investments. This measure is used by management and investment analysts to show the financial strength of the company. Management is consistently tracking the company’s leverage position and its ability to repay and service the debt obligations over time. Therefore, management has set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA. Net interest expenses Net interest expenses are defined as the sum of interest, other financial results, and gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans held by Rizobacter Argentina. Gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans are part of the hedging activities conducted by the company to manage cost of financing. Net interest expenses and financial commissions represent the main financial metrics that management uses to assess Bioceres’ cost of financing. Application of IAS 29 Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 beginning July 1, 2018. IAS 29 requires adjusting all non-monetary items in the statement of financial position by applying a general price index from the month they were booked to the end of the reporting period. At the same time, it also requires that all items in the statement of income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Consequently, on a monthly basis, results of operations for each reporting period are measured in Argentine Pesos and adjusted for inflation by the applicable monthly inflation rate each month. All amounts need to be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements. As a result, each monthly results of operations are readjusted each successive month to reflect changes in the monthly inflation rate. After the restatement explained above, IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, addresses the way results must be translated under inflation accounting, stating that all amounts shall be translated at the closing rate of the date of the most recent statement of financial position. Accordingly, monthly results of operations in Argentine Pesos, after adjustment for inflation pursuant to IAS 29, as described above, must then be converted into U.S dollars at the closing exchange rate for such monthly reported period. This conversion changes every prior reported monthly statement of income in U.S dollars as each monthly amount is readjusted under IAS 29 for inflation per above and reconverted at different exchange rates for each monthly reported period under IAS 21. As a result, the impact of monthly inflationary adjustments and monthly conversion adjustments vary the results of operation month to month until year end.
