Lavoro Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Earnings Results

•Lavoro’s revenue for FY1Q24 reached $483.1 million, an increase of +11% compared to the prior year period (+3% in constant currency terms), driven by market share gains.
•1Q24 gross profit was $59.5 million, a -34% decrease y/y, with gross margins contracting by -850 bps to 12.3% due primarily to the ongoing industry-wide deflationary pressures affecting crop protection and fertilizer distribution margins.
•Net loss was -$14.5 million, compared to net income of $15.1 million in the prior year period; adjusted net loss was -$8.9 million, compared to adjusted net income of $17.2 million in the prior year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $11.1 million, reflecting a -75% decline from the previous year, largely attributable to the same market headwinds.
•On November 30, 2023, Lavoro successfully completed the acquisition of Coram Comércio e Representações Agrícolas. Coram, with its team of 33 technical sales representatives, serves 1,200 farmers across the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Goiás, significantly bolstering Lavoro’s retail presence in these key agricultural regions.

•Lavoro has taken a significant step towards enhancing its capital structure by securing a new multi-year R$420 million (US$86 million) credit facility with a four-year term. This strategic move enables the retirement of existing short-term loans, transitioning to more sustainable, long-term financing arrangements that supports Lavoro’s long-term growth objectives.

•In light of a more challenging market environment than initially anticipated, Lavoro has updated its FY2024 guidance.
SÃO PAULO – January 24 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO; LVROW), the first U.S.-listed pure-play agricultural inputs distributor in Latin America, today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2024, ended on September 30, 2023.

Ruy Cunha, CEO of Lavoro, commented, “Since our last market update, severe drought conditions across Brazil's key agricultural states, attributed to El Niño, have adversely affected the soybean crop's growth. Furthermore, we are now forecasting planting delays and a reduction in acreage for the forthcoming safrinha corn crop, compared to previous expectations. Consequently, we have adjusted our expectations for the retail agricultural inputs market in Brazil, predicting a contraction of -25% for the 2023/2024 crop year (ending in June 2024), a downward revision from our previous estimate of a -20% decline.

While we have seen a gradual improvement in our crop protection distribution margins, the rate of recovery has not met our initial projections, indicating that the industry-wide destocking of excess agrochemical inventories still has ways to go. Although our growth in volumes and market share gains has buffered these challenges at the top-line level—where our projections remain consistent—our margins will be affected, causing us to revise our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range. This is due to slower-than-anticipated recovery in our crop protection and fertilizer distribution margins, as well as a diminished contribution from our Crop Care segment, stemming from El Niño's impact on the safrinha crop.

With that said, we remain confident in our belief that the impact of ongoing market headwinds to our margins are temporary and will not impede our long-term growth trajectory and earnings potential. We are diligently implementing our strategic plans to capitalize on the environment to accelerate market share gains, including via the recruitment of experienced RTVs. Since the beginning of FY24, the RTVs we have added this year represent an approximate revenue potential of $120 million.”

FY1Q24 Financial Highlights

•Consolidated revenue for Lavoro in 1Q24 increased by +11% to $483.1 million, compared to the same period in 2023. In constant currency terms, revenue saw a 3% increase. Inputs revenue rose by +5%, bolstered by robust unit volume growth and contributions from recent M&A activities, which more than compensated for pricing headwinds. Grains revenue resulting increased +109% off of an easy comparable, driven by a greater desire by our clients for entering into barter transactions.

•Brazil Ag Retail segment saw revenue increase by +15%, reflecting improved sales volumes of crop protection (+54%), fertilizer (+53%) and specialty (+33%) product categories. Additionally, the recent acquisition of Referencia contributed +2% to the segment's 1Q24 revenue. Crop Care segment revenue decreased -1% to $35.7 million, reflecting decline on sales of biologicals and post-patent chemicals and being partially offset by higher sales from specialty fertilizers. Revenue for the Latam Ag Retail segment declined by -1%, primarily due to the price decline in fertilizers and the challenges following the removal of a financially significant herbicide from a supplier's product lineup.

•Gross profit fell by -34% to $59.5 million, and gross margin contracted by -850 basis points to 12.3%. This compression in gross margin was primarily due to lower distribution margins for crop protection and fertilizer products in our Brazil Ag Retail segment, compounded by mix-related headwinds in our Crop Care segment.

•Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q24 stood at $11.1 million, a decrease of -$33 million from the previous year's quarter, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin shrinking by -790bps to 2.3%. This contraction was driven by the gross margin compression as detailed above. The SG&A (excluding D&A) to sales ratio remained steady at approximately 11.9%.

•Non-recurring expenses increased by +$5.4 million to $8.5 million in 1Q24, due to (i) M&A accounting and tax due diligence expenses ($3.4 million), (ii) the provision of the second half of the DeSPAC bonus to employees that will be paid in 3Q24 ($1.3 million) and (iii) related-party consultancy services expenses recognized as non-recurring in 1Q24 ($0.9million).

•Adjusted net income was -$8.9 million, a decline of -$26 million over the prior year quarter, driven by lower adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower financial expenses and an increased positive contribution from income tax.

Segment Results for 1Q243

Brazil Ag Retail
Brazil Ag Retail saw revenue increased by 15%, reflecting improved sales volumes of crop protection, fertilizer and specialty product categories, which increased +54%, +53% and +33% respectively. This more than offset the impact from price declines in crop protection and fertilizers. Gross margin contracted by -1,070bps to 8.7%, driven by the same factors.

Latam Ag Retail

Latam Ag Retail reported revenue of $66.3 million, a 1% decrease from the prior year quarter, and a more pronounced 9% decline in Colombian peso terms. This decline was largely due to pricing headwinds to fertilizer sales and supply shortages of corn seeds from a key supplier which resulted in lost revenue opportunity amounting to ~$2 million for the quarter. Additionally, our Latam operations continue to be adversely affected by the discontinued supply of Paraquat, a leading herbicide in Colombia, from a key supplier. This issue contributed to a year-over-year revenue headwind of ~$2 million in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA margin (% of Inputs) 7.2  % 5.2  % -196 bps

Crop Care
Crop Care's revenue saw a slight decline of 1% to $35.7 million, primarily due to a significant drop in Perterra's revenue, a result of falling prices in agrochemicals. It’s worth noting that Perterra, a subsidiary of Crop Care, specializes in importing off-patent agrochemicals from Asia, with Lavoro’s Brazil Ag Retail being its main customer. Another contributing factor to this quarter’s performance was Agrobiologica, which encountered delays in farmers' purchasing decisions, leading to deferred revenue. However, these year-over-year impacts were partially mitigated by the recent acquisition of Cromo Quimica, an adjuvant manufacturer acquired in 4Q23, and double-digit growth of Union Agro, our specialty fertilizers manufacturing subsidiary.

Full Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Outlook4

In light of a more challenging market environment than initially anticipated, Lavoro has updated its FY2024 guidance. The revised outlook for Adjusted EBITDA now stands at a range of $80 million to $110 million. This adjustment is due to a slower-than-expected recovery in distribution margins for crop protection and fertilizer products, and unanticipated headwinds facing the Crop Care segment, stemming from the effects of El Niño on the safrinha crop. Total revenue and input revenue projections remain unchanged, with ranges of $2.0 to $2.3 billion and $1.7 to $2.0 billion, respectively.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Profit/Loss and Adjusted Net Profit/Loss Margin. A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company's management to evaluate the Company's performance, and provide additional information about trends in our operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on our results, as well as the effects of certain items or events that vary widely among similar companies, and therefore may hamper comparability across periods, although these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS. Management believes that these measures enhance a reader's understanding of the operating and financial performance of the Company and facilitate a better comparison between fiscal periods. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit (loss) for the year, adjusted for finance income (costs), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding the impact of certain revenues, expenses and costs that we believe are isolated in nature incurred as part of our expansion, namely: (i) fair value on inventories sold from acquired companies, (ii) M&A adjustments that in management’s judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular basis, (iii) listing and other expenses recognized in connection with the Business Combination, (iv) share-based compensation expenses, (v) bonuses paid out to our employees as a result of the closing of the Business Combination, (vi) expenses paid to Patria in connection with management consultancy services, (vii) depreciation and amortization recognize on cost of goods sold and (viii) losses/gains on the fair value of commodity forward contracts. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the period/year. Adjusted Net Profit/Loss is defined as Net Profit/Loss excluding the impact of certain revenues, expenses and costs that we believe are isolated in nature incurred as part of our expansion, namely: (i) fair value on inventories sold from acquired companies, (ii) M&A adjustments that in management’s judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular basis, (iii) listing and other expenses recognized in connection with the Business Combination, (iv) share-based compensation expenses, (v) bonuses paid out to our employees as a result of the closing of the Business Combination, (vi) expenses paid to Patria in connection with management consultancy services, (vii) depreciation and amortization recognize on cost of goods sold and (viii) losses/gains on the fair value of commodity forward contracts. Adjusted Net Profit/Loss Margin is calculated as Adjusted Net Profit/Loss as a percentage of revenue for the period/year.
The Company does not intend for the non-IFRS financial measures contained in this release to be a substitute for any IFRS financial information. Readers of this press release should use these non-IFRS financial measures only in conjunction with comparable IFRS financial measures.

We also believe that non-IFRS financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of public companies in our industry, many of which present these measures when reporting their results. The non-IFRS financial information is presented for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of the IFRS financial statements. The non-IFRS measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with IFRS, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, IFRS results. As other companies may determine or calculate this non-IFRS financial information differently, the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes is limited. A reconciliation of such non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest IFRS measure is included in this presentation.


 
3 Market and Guidance Update FY1Q24 Financial Highlights ▪ Revenue: $483.1M (+11% y/y; +3% in constant currency). Growth driven by robust unit volume growth in crop protection, fertilizers, and specialties, as Lavoro market share gains more than offset continued industry-wide deflationary pressures in agrochemicals and fertilizers ▪ Gross Profit: $59.5M (-34% y/y). Gross Margin declined by 850 bps to 12.3%, primarily due to ongoing pricing pressures not being fully mitigated by lower inventory costs. ▪ Adjusted EBITDA: $11.1M (-75% y/y). Adj. EBITDA Margin contracted by 790 bps to 2.3% Management Focus in FY24 CEO Highlights (1) USD/BRL monthly average period exchange rate used to translate results to USD: 5.368 for Jul-2022, 5.143 for Aug-2022, 5.237 for Sep-2022 | 4.801 for Jul-2023, 4.904 for Aug-2023, 4.937 for Sep-2023 ▪ Strong long-term fundamentals in Brazil's Ag sector are currently facing temporary headwinds, which we expect to ease by end of FY2024. ▪ Emergence of a disruptive El Nino is the latest in a series of unrelated challenges. It caused severe drought conditions in Brazil in Nov/Dec, adversely impacting 1st soybean crop, and likely to result in delay planting & planted area reductions for 2nd corn crop (safrinha) ▪ Farmer approaching safrinha planning heightened risk aversion. Anticipating for some to opt for medium-tech corn seeds over high-tech alternatives, and curtail investments in specialty inputs, such as biologicals. ▪ Revising projections for Ag Retail Market to -25% y/y (vs. prior -20% y/y) for Crop Year ’23/’24 ▪ In light of these challenges, Lavoro is updating its FY2024 financial guidance, with Adjusted EBITDA for FY2024 now forecasted to range between $80M and $110M ▪ Continuing to focus on strategic initiatives to accelerate share gains ▪ YTD, Lavoro added new experienced RTVs with a client book amounting to an annualzied revenue potential of $120M

8 Executive Summary 1) The Adj. EBITDA range implies a range of R$400M to R$550M in BRL (R$475M at the mid-point) ▪ Lavoro reports Fiscal 1Q24 quarterly earnings on Wednesday, January 24th, where Lavoro will have to revise down our FY24 Adj. EBITDA guidance given a more challenging macro than previously anticipated (incl. the sizeable impact of El Nino on safrinha) ▪ FY2Q24 Adj. EBITDA tracking -$30M to -$35M behind our revised Forecast (“3+9”) presented to the Board in October. Preliminary findings from ongoing mid-year budgeting exercise (“6+6”) suggest downside risks to our 2H24 vs. F3+9 of an additional -$30M ▪ On a positive note, Lavoro’s efforts to hire RTVs are paying off, with solid share gains observed in 1Q and 2Q, and strong volume growth in 1Q across crop protection, fertilizers and specialties. Our latest projections from FP&A suggests will are tracking to achieve our revenue guidance, and expect to maintain the ranges unchanged. ▪ Targeted SG&A cost cutting initiatives are under-way to mitigate some of the impact, including closure of 11 underperforming stores and 280 headcount positions impacted (~7% of total). ▪ Our general message to investors will remain our strong belief that are 1) executing where we can, taking advantage of opportunities to gain share, and 2) the margin headwinds were are experiencing are truly unusual, and “transient”, and that they should not impact Lavoro’s earnings potential in FY25 and beyond. In fact, were 1H24 CP & ferts. margins just “average” for Lavoro (i.e. 10-12%) we would’ve generated an additional $40M of GP/Adj. EBITDA in 1H alone, which goes to show how extreme the environment is.

9 Macro Context – El Nino ▪ A brutal El Nino climatic event (Nov-Dec) in Brazil creating headwinds for inputs demand for the 2nd Corn crop, impacting our corn seed and biologicals business ▪ Drought in Mato Grosso and other states caused a record 5% of soybean area to be replanted, creating 1) direct impact to farmer’s P&L / Balance Sheet, and 2) delaying start of safrinha planting seasons, in turn increasing yield risk given shortened growth window has higher overlap with drier season (April/June) • Mato Gross producer margin this crop year revised down to R$1,312/ha (-44% lower than prior year) • Now expecting a expecting a 5-8% decline in planted 2nd Corn crop acres ▪ Meaningful delay in Biological order bank formation across the industry (safrinha =35-40% of Agrobiologica’s sales) 61 58 56 69 61 36 26 51 48 43 CP Secialties Fert.

10 Macro Context – Agrochemicals destocking & market size ▪ Upstream agrochemical and fertilizer price have yet to show meaningful recovery as we had hoped, and price competition at the farmgate remains intense ▪ Renegotiations with our crop protection suppliers were more difficult than expected, with Tier 1 inputs suppliers increasing reluctant to “absorb” high-cost inventory from retailers ▪ Recent conversations with ag consultancies suggest our best guess is agrochemical inventories as % of sales of ~25% (Jan ’24), better than same time last year (estimated ~35%), but above “normal” levels of ~15% ▪ Our internal market intelligence team has revised down the forecast for 23/24 market from -21-22% in Oct to -23%, with a all of it driven by safrinha (~25-30% of Brazil ag inputs market) 78 60 73 68 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 Jan-23 Mar-23 mai-23 Jul-23 Sep-23 Nov-23 Jan-24 Fungicides Herbicides Inseticides Crop Protection


 
11 2Q24 Preliminary Results ▪ Brazil a large negative contributor vs. F3+9 Forecast : • Slower than expected recovery in CP margins, • Revenue push out & lost sales as a result of El Nino (specialties and corn seeds) • Freight costs spiked due in part to farmer purchase delays creating a compressed window for product delivery (limited truckload supply) • Bad debt expense, resulting in large part due to El Nino effect, further pushing out repayment schedules of a few overdue farmer clients 2Q23 2Q24 Forecast (3+9) (22.9) Brazil (2.0) Latam (3.5) Crop Care (5.3) Corp. / Elim. 2Q24 Actual (prelim.) 2Q24 Sell-Side Consensus 79.0 74.4 40.6 62.9 -49% -36% Actuals Delta Consensus US$ millions 2Q24 Forecast (3+9) (19.1) Inputs Revenue (GM% neutral) (8.0) Crop Protection GM % (revenue neutral) (0.9) Fertilizer GM % (revenue neutral) (5.2) Freight / Logistics (4.3) Grains Gross Profit (1.8) Bad Debt expense 5.5 SG&A & other items 2Q24 Actual (prelim.) 74.4 40.6 -45% (-33.8) Actuals Revenue drivers Product GM % drivers Other drivers


 
13 Brazil Ag Retail – forecast revision (6+6) 1) The latest mid-year Forecast update (6 months YTD, + 6 months Year-to-Go) is still in the process of being finalized. Represented here is the best risk-adjusted that we currently have 2) The 3+9 Forecast was updated in October and presented to the board ▪ Specialties margin indirectly impacted by CP deflationary environment (given substitution potential between the two in biopesticides) ▪ Corn seed margins headwinds from El Nino, with negative mix shift to “Medium” tech corn, and pricing pressure in some pockets due to fears of excess corn inventories that will expire if not sold. ▪ While CP was only a $8M detractor in 2Q, we expected it to be a larger detractor on a relative basis in 2H, given the expected recovery baked into our final two quarters is unlikely to materialize going to be happening FY2024 Latest Forecast 1 (6+6) 1Q24 Actual 2Q24 Actual (prelim.) 2H24 Forecast-Implied 2H24 Prior Forecast (3+9) 2 2H24 Delta F(6+6) - F(3+9) Revenue (Inputs) 1,671.8 382.3 543.2 746.3 714.5 31.9 Y/Y 22% 16% 5% 43% 37% Y/Y (constant curr.) 16% 8% (1%) 37% 31% Gross Profit 233.7 41.1 73.5 119.1 135.6 (16.4) GM % (Inputs) 14.0% 10.7% 13.5% 16.0% 19.0% Y/Y - GM % delta (4.3%) (10.3%) (6.4%) 1.0% 4.0% Adj.

15 Analyzing relationship of CP prices and our Brazil CP margins ▪ Top chart shows Lavoro Brazil’s Crop Protection margins (6- month trailing, for smoothing) relative to Agrochemical price index (China upstream prices to Brazil) ▪ The positive correlation (with a few month lag) is unsurprising, particularly around the spike of Aug-21 to Feb- 22 (height of COVID in China) ▪ Yet, outside of the intensely inflationary/deflationary periods, Lavoro Brazil consistently generated CP “direct” margins of 8-13% (excl. rebate benefit) when pricing environment was benign. ▪ This confirms our belief that as pricing continues to normalize into 4Q24 and FY25, our CP (and fertilizer) margins should promptly recover, with an “easy” comparable for Lavoro to generate strong earnings growth ▪ Bottom Chart zooms in on recent months. Lavoro’s CP margins have been on an uptrend, though it is not as linear and steep as we would’ve hoped for (10.0%) (5.0%) - 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 Lavoro CP Margins (trailing 6-mth) vs. Agrochemical Price Index - 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 50 70 90 110 130 150 170 190 Lavoro CP Margins (trailing 6-mth) vs. Agrochemical Price Index Intense Inflationary

3.Segment information
(a)Reportable segments by management

The chief operating decision-maker of the Group (the “CODM”) is the board of directors which is responsible for allocating resources among operating segments and assessing their performance and for making strategic decisions.

The determination of the reportable segments is based on internal reports reviewed by the CODM, which include considerations in relation to risks and returns, organizational structure, etc. Certain expenses across segments are allocated based on reasonable allocation criteria, such as revenues or historical trends.
The Group’s reportable segments are the following:
•Brazil Cluster: comprising companies located in Brazil that sell agricultural inputs;
• LATAM Cluster: comprising companies located in Colombia that sell agricultural inputs;
• Crop Care Cluster: consisting companies that produce and import their own portfolio of proprietary products including off-patent crop protection and specialty products (e.g, biologicals and specialy fertilizers).

(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
The CODM used information on a pro forma basis giving effect of the acquisitions completed during the year to assess the segment performance. Starting from March 31, 2023, the CODM began using historical segment financial information. Segment information for the prior period has been recast for comparative purposes.

The average effective interest rate used to discount trade receivables for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 was 0.96% per month (0.96% as of June 30, 2023). The Group does not have any customer that represents more than 10% of its trade receivables or revenues.
As of September 30, 2023, the Group also transferred trade receivables to the FIAGRO in the amount of R$160,648 (R$167,278 in June 30, 2023).
As the Group has retained the risks and rewards of ownership, these amounts were not derecognized from trade receivables. Consequently, the liability resulting from these operations is recorded as obligations to FIAGRO quota holders (note 16).

The Group considers that assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, have a carrying value approximate to their fair value and, therefore, information on their fair values is not presented.
(a)Hierarchy of fair value
The Group uses various methods to measure and determine fair value (including market approaches and income or cost approaches) and to estimate the value that market participants would use to price the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed within the following fair value hierarchy levels:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active, liquid and visible markets, for identical assets and liabilities that are readily available at the measurement date;
footer.jpg
24

picture13.jpg
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
All financial instruments accounted for at fair value are classified as level 2, except for the Warrant liability which is classified as level 1. On September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there were no changes in the fair value methodology of the financial instruments and, therefore, there were no transfers between levels.
7.Financial and capital risk management
(a)Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Group
The Group is exposed to several market risk factors that might impact its business. The Group’s board of directors is responsible for monitoring these risk factors, as well as establishing policies and procedures to address them. The Group’s risk management structure considers the size and complexity of its activities, which allows for a better understanding of how such risks could impact Group’s strategy through committees and other internal meetings.
Currently, the Group is focused on action plans relating to risks that could have a significant impact on its strategic goals, including those required by applicable regulations. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, its risk management structure conducts risk identification and assessments to prioritize the risks that are key to pursuing potential opportunities that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of impacting its results, capital, liquidity, customer relationships and/or reputation.
The Group’s risk management strategies were developed to mitigate and/or reduce the financial market risks which it is exposed to, which are as follows:
•credit risk
•liquidity risk
•capital risk
•interest rate risk
•exchange rate risk
•commodity price risk in barter transactions

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
(b)Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial losses if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, which arise mainly from the Group’s trade receivables. The Group maintains short-term investments and derivatives with financial institutions approved by its management according to objective criteria for diversification of such risk.
The Group seeks to mitigate its credit risk related to trade receivables by setting forth credit limits for each counterparty based on the analysis of its credit management process. Such credit exposure determination is performed considering the qualitative and quantitative information of each counterparty. The Group also focuses on the diversification of its portfolio and monitors different solvency and liquidity indicators of its counterparties, In addition, primarily for receivables in installments, the Group monitors the balance of allowances for expected credit losses, (see Note 5).
The main strategies on credit risks management are listed below:
•creating credit approval policies and procedures for new and existing customers.
•extending credit to qualified customers through a review of credit agency reports, financial statements and/or credit references, when available.
•reviewing existing customer accounts every twelve months based on the credit limit amounts.
•evaluating customer and regional risks.
•obtaining guarantees through the endorsement of rural producer notes (“CPR”), which give physical ownership of the relevant agricultural goods in the event of the customer’s default.
•establishing credit approval for suppliers in case of payments in advance.
•setting up provisions using the lifetime expected credit loss method considering all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument, Receivables are categorized based on the number of overdue days and/or a customer’s credit risk profile, Estimated losses on receivables are based on known troubled accounts and historical losses, Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
•requiring minimum acceptable counterparty credit ratings from financial counterparties.
•setting limits for counterparties or credit exposure; and
•developing relationships with investment-grade counterparties.
The current credit policy sets forth credit limits for customers based on credit score analysis made by the Group’s credit management area. Such score is determined

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
considering the qualitative and quantitative information related to each customer, resulting in a rating classification and a level of requirement of guarantees as follows:
% Of guarantees required on sales
Credit rating % Customers Risk classification Medium-sized farmers (i) Other
AA & A 18% Very small
80-90%
0%
B 49% Medium 100% 30%
C & D 15% High 100% 60%
Simplified 18% Small farmers N/A N/A
(i)Medium-sized farmers ranging between 100 and 10,000 hectares in planted acreage that are typically not serviced directly by agricultural input producers,
For Colombia there is a similar credit scoring process, however, guarantees are not required based on credit ratings but instead based on qualitative factors such as relationships and past experiences with customers.
Maximum exposure to credit risk as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023:
September 30, 2023 June 30, 2023
Trade receivables (current and non-current) 3,102,177  2,708,539 
Advances to suppliers 679,772  192,119 
3,781,949  2,900,658 
(c)Liquidity risk
The Group defines liquidity risk as the risk of financial losses if it is unable to comply with its payment obligations in connection with financial liabilities settled in cash or other financial assets in a timely manner as they become due. The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash available to settle its obligations without incurring losses or affecting the operations. Management is ultimately responsible for managing liquidity risk, which relies on a liquidity risk management model to manage funding requirements and liquidity in the short, medium and long term.
The Group’s cash position is monitored by its senior management, through management reports and periodic performance meetings. The Group also manages its liquidity risk by maintaining reserves, bank credit facilities and other borrowing facilities deemed appropriate, through ongoing monitoring of forecast and actual

cash flows, as well as through the combination of maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

(d)Capital risk
The Group manages its capital risk through its leverage policy to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the return of its stakeholders by optimizing its balances of debt and equity.
The Group's strategy is to maintain the net debt up to 2.4 times the projected adjusted EBITDA for twelve months to be ended on June 30, 2024.
(i)Interest rate risk
Fluctuations in interest rates, such as the Brazilian interbank deposit rate, which is an average of interbank overnight rates in Brazil, and Colombian investment rate, which is an average of interbank and financial corporation loans, may have an effect on the cost of the Group’s borrowings and new borrowings.
The Group periodically monitors the effects of market changes in interest rates on its financial instruments portfolio. Funds raised by the Group are used to finance working capital for each crop season and are typically raised at short term conditions.
As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Group had no derivative financial instruments used to mitigate interest rate risks.

(i)Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates
To mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity of variations transactions impacted by the CDI Rate and IBR Rate. The Scenario 1 represents the impact on booked amounts considering the most current (December 2023) CDI Rate and IBR Rate and reflects management’s best estimates. The Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 consider an appreciation of 25% and 50% in such market interest rates, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.
The following table sets forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:
September, 30 2023
Expense on profit or loss
Current Index Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Floating rate borrowings in Brazil CDI Rate (12,65%) 277,693  325,644  373,594 
Floating rate borrowings in Colombia IBR Rate (12,75%) 17,185  20,207  23,230 
294,878  345,851  396,824 
(ii)Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its operations related to agricultural inputs, mainly related to the U.S. dollar, which significantly impacts global prices of agricultural inputs in general. Although all purchases and sales are conducted locally, certain purchase and sales contracts are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
The Group’s current commercial department seeks to reduce this exposure. Its marketing department is responsible for managing pricing tables and commercial strategies to seek a natural hedge between purchases and sales and to match currency and terms to the greatest extent possible.
The Group’s corporate treasury department is responsible for monitoring the forecasted cash flow exposure to the U.S. dollar, and whenever any mismatches as to terms and currencies are identified, non-deliverable forwards derivative financial instruments are purchased to offset these exposures, and therefore fulfill internal policy requirements, U.S. dollar exposure is managed by macro hedging through the analysis of the forecasted cash flow for the next two harvests. The Group may not have any leveraged derivative position.
The Group’s exchange rate exposure monitoring committee meets periodically across the commercial, treasury and corporate business departments. There are also

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
committees on purchase valuation and business intelligence for the main goods traded by the Group.
The Group does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of profit or loss, as disclosed in Note 27.
(i)Sensitivity analysis – exposure to exchange rates
To gauge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate its asset and liability positions in foreign currency and their potential effects on its results.
The Scenario 1 below represents the impact on carrying amounts of the most current (December 2023) market rates for the U.S. dollar (R$4.9397 to US$1.00). This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The Scenario 2 e Scenario 3 consider the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.
The following table set forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:
September 30, 2023
Effect on profit or loss
Current Index Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Cash equivalents in U.S. Dollars 4.9397  (2,565) 44,079  90,724 
Trade receivables in U.S. Dollars 4.9397  (1,023) 17,577  36,177 
Trade payables in U.S. Dollars 4.9397  4,635  (79,668) (163,971)
Borrowings in U.S. Dollars 4.9397  6,314  (108,529) (223,372)
Net impacts on commercial operations 7,361  (126,541) (260,442)
Derivative financial instruments 4.9397  (6,136) 105,465  217,067 
Total impact, net of derivatives 1,225  (21,076) (43,375)
(iii)Commodity prices risk in barter transactions
In all barter transactions mentioned in Note 10, the Group uses future commodity market price as the reference to value the quantities of commodities included in the forward contracts to be delivered by the customers as payment for the Group’s

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated)
products into currency. The Group uses prices quoted by commodity trading companies to value the grain purchase contracts from farmers, Lavoro enters into grain sale contracts with trading companies or forward derivatives with financial institutions to sell those same grains, at the same price of the purchased contracts with farmers. As such, the Group strategy to manage its exposure to those commodity prices by entering into the purchase and sale contracts at similar conditions.
These transactions are conducted by a corporate department which manages and controls such contracts as well as the compliance of Group’s policies.
(i)Sensitivity analysis – exposure to commodity price
To gauge its exposure to commodity price risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate its asset and liability positions on commodity forward contracts in soybean and corn and their potential effects on its results.
The “current risk” scenario below represents the impact on carrying amounts as of September 30, 2023, with assumptions described in Note 10. The other scenarios consider the appreciation of main assumptions at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.

Income tax Benefits arising from ICMS deduction
During 2022/2023 the Group obtained the benefit of deducting the ICMS benefit explained in item (i) in the income tax calculation. This was applied for the current year tax calculation and for the prior years and generated an income tax credit recorded in the year ended September 30, 2023 in the amount of R$52,613 recorded under “Brazilian federal contributions”.

(d)Covenants
The Group has no financial covenants as of September 30, 2023.
16.Obligations to FIAGRO quota holders
On July 22, 2022, the Group entered into an agreement to transfer receivables in the aggregate amount of R$160,000 to FIAGRO, a structured entity, as defined by IFRS 10, established under Brazilian law designed specifically for investing in agribusiness credit rights receivables. The acquisition of such receivables by the FIAGRO investment fund enables the Group to anticipate the receipt of funds from such receivables.
The Group holds all subordinated quotas issued by the FIAGRO, representing approximately 5% of the total outstanding quotas in an aggregate amount of R$8,100 while other parties hold all senior and mezzanine quotas, representing approximately 95% of the total outstanding quotas, which includes certain of Patria’s related parties that acquired the mezzanine quotas of FIAGRO in an aggregate amount of R$56,000. Under the terms of the FIAGRO, we are not liable in case there is a default on the credit rights acquired by the fund, but any such default may adversely affect our stake in FIAGRO quotas. Our agreement to assign certain credit rights to FIAGRO will expire when all assigned receivables have been liquidated.
The bylaws of the FIAGRO were established by the Group at their inception, and grant the Group significant decision-making authority over these entities, such as the right to determine which credits rights are eligible to be acquired by the FIAGRO.
In addition, senior and mezzanine quota holders receive interest at a benchmark rate of return ranging from the CDI rate +2.45% per year up to the CDI rate +8.0% per year. Residual returns from the FIAGRO fund, if any, are paid on the subordinated quotas, which do not bear interest and are not otherwise entitled to any pre-established rate of return. Senior and mezzanine quotas amortize annually over a three-year period after an initial 24-month grace period, whereas subordinated quotas amortize at the end of the fifth annual period.
In accordance with IFRS 10, we concluded we control FIAGRO and, therefore, it is consolidated in our financial statements. The senior and mezzanine quotas are accounted for as a financial liability under “Obligations to FIAGRO quota holders” and the remuneration paid to senior and mezzanine quota holders is recorded as interest expense.

As of September 30, 2023, Lavoro has granted 49,518,732 share options as incentive compensation to Selected Employees, Share options granted under the Lavoro Share Plan will vest in the event the following market conditions are met (the “Market Conditions”):
(i)the occurrence of a liquidity event satisfying a minimum internal rate of return specified in the Lavoro Share Plan; and
(ii)the price per share obtained under such liquidity event must be greater than or equal to one of the following amounts:
(a)a pre-established reference price multiplied by three; or
(b)an amount calculated in accordance with a pre-established formula, in each case specified under the Lavoro Share Plan.

The exercise price of the share-based payment is equal to the options price agreed with the employee in the contracts, representing the amount of R$1 monetarily adjusted until the date on which the liquidity event occurs.
The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant considering the terms and conditions using the Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted.

Earnings per share
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares available during the fiscal year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares, presuming the conversion of all the potential diluted common shares.
The number of ordinary shares issued by Lavoro, as a result of the corporate reorganization is reflected retroactively, for purposes of calculating earnings per share in the period ended September 30, 2022.
The table below show data used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to the net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent:
2023 2022
Weighted average ordinary shares of Lavoro 113,602 113,602
Effects of dilution from:
Share-based payment (i) 2,248 1,638
Restricted stock unit plan (ii) 1,003 -
Number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of dilution 116,853 115,210
Profit (loss) for the period attributable to net investment of the parent/equity holders of the parent (66,537) 59,615
Basic earnings (loss) per share (0.59) 0.52
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (0.59) 0.52
(i)Based on the numbers of shares reserved by Lavoro Limited to the Lavoro Share Plan, as explained above
(ii)Based on the numbers of shares reserved by Lavoro Limited to the Lavoro RSU Plan, as explained above.
The Group reported a loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, accordingly the ordinary shares related to the share-based payment and RSU Plan have a non-dilutive effect and therefore were not considered in the total number of shares outstanding to determine the diluted earnings (loss) per share.
All public and private warrants are out of the money as of September 30, 2023; therefore, the approximately 6,012,085 and 4,071,507 public and private warrants, respectively, were not included in the calculation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share. Similarly, the 3,060,662 Founder Shares, that were detailed in note 22 to the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023, were not
