Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months ended 30 June 2024

MHP SE (LSE:MHPC), the parent company of a leading international agro-industrial group with headquarters in Ukraine, today announces its audited results for the second quarter and six months ended 30 June 2024. Hereinafter, MHP SE and its subsidiaries are referred to as "MHP", "The Company" or "The Group".

WAR IN UKRAINE

Whilst the ongoing War continues to impact MHP's operations, the Company has been able to adapt to the challenges of operating in wartime.

As of today, over 3,000 employees have been mobilised to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Supporting our mobilised colleagues and re-integrating our veterans back into civilian life remains a key part of our strategy and a focus of specific Company programmes. The safety of our employees remains our primary concern as MHP seeks to maintain continuity in its business operations, overcoming disruptions and solving problems caused by the War. Over the last 2.5 years, we have learned how to react quickly to unforeseen external factors and swiftly adapt to new business conditions.

Irregular and frequent drone and rocket attacks against civilian, energy and other infrastructure targets have resulted in a challenging and disruptive operational environment, leading to unforeseen war-related costs. In 6M 2024, war-related costs and losses amounted to US$ 26 million (6M 2023: US$ 13 million).

MHP continues to invest in alternative energy sources - to mitigate operational disruptions caused by Russia's targeting of Ukraine's national grid and energy sector. If energy disruptions lead to a complete black out in Ukraine, MHP will not be able to operate at full capacity and its operations will face a significant increase in production cost, which will negatively impact financial results.

MHP would like to inform its stakeholders that at the date of publication, all currently operational Company's production facilities in Ukraine continue to operate at close to full capacity and none (out of operational facilities) of the Company's directly owned assets have suffered significant physical damage from the recent Russian bombing terror.

Unfortunately, as a result of shelling by the occupying forces on May 17, in Odesa region, a warehouse partly leased by the Company to store frozen MHP chicken meat products was completely destroyed, resulting in the loss of poultry products worth around US$ 7 million.

Considering the fast moving nature of the War, MHP can give no concrete assurances that its production facilities and associated infrastructure will not be targeted or adversely affected in the future. In the event of future attacks the Group is fully prepared to respond immediately - taking all necessary actions to protect its employees and to rebuild, restore and restart production in the shortest time possible.

Despite the ongoing challenges, our commitment to ensuring sustainable development remains at the heart of all our economic activities. As a pioneering and innovative leader in biogas and bioenergy fields in Ukraine, MHP is constantly working on boosting our energy independence and resilience by integrating more renewable energy sources into our energy mix.

The Ukrainian agricultural sector has been severely impacted by the War. As a result, MHP is a crucial 'cog' in maintaining both domestic & international food security. Despite the challenges created by the War, MHP is determined to continue supporting the Ukrainian economy - over the first half of 2024, MHP enterprises transferred almost US$ 90 million (UAH 3.7 billion), 40% more y/y, to the state budget in the form of taxes, contributions and fees.

MHP remains incredibly grateful for the support and patience of our investors who have supported the Group as it navigated the most difficult period in Ukraine's history.

CHANGE IN PRESENTATION OF SEGMENT INFORMATION

To accurately reflect the diverse nature of the Group's business operations and improve disclosure, MHP has, since Q3 2023, implemented changes to its presentation of business segment information, including:

· the introduction of a new Vegetable Oil Operations Segment, which represents production and sales of vegetable oil and related products. In Q2 2023 and 6M 2023, these activities were included in the Poultry and Related Operations Segment as by-products of mixed fodder production for poultry;

· the inclusion of meat processing and other meat (previously reported within the Meat Processing and Other Agricultural Operations Segment) in the Poultry and Related Operations Segment, given that the meat processing and other meat operations represent less than 10% of the Group`s revenue and have similar characteristics to the poultry operations; and

· combining grain-growing operations (presented as a separate segment in Q2 2023 and 6M 2023) and milk cattle farming (previously included within the Meat Processing and Other Agricultural Operations Segment) into a revised reportable segment called Agriculture Operations.

The corresponding segment information for the Q2 2023 and 6M 2023 has been restated to ensure comparability. Overviews of each of the Business Segments are provided below ahead of the respective Segment's financial and operational results.

^²) Revenue from poultry meat includes sales of offal, which doesn't include in table regarding sales volume and prices of poultry meat

In 6M 2024, revenue decreased by 5% y/y as a result of the sales volume decrease of poultry meat mainly on export markets, partly offset by slightly higher prices.

Gross profit in 6M 2024 at US$ 217 million remained mainly unchanged y/y, while adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) decreased to US$ 157 million mainly as a result of increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as well as higher war related expenses.

The segment's revenue in 6M 2024 decreased by 32% y/y to US$ 236 million, resulting in lower adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) of US$ 27 million compared to US$ 48 million in 6M 2023 as a result of decline in oil prices.

Agriculture operations

Winter crops (wheat, rapeseeds and other) harvesting is complete on around 93,500 ha of land:

- rapeseeds - around 34,300 ha with around 3.6 t/ha yield;

- wheat - around 39,700 ha with around 7.2 t/ha yield.

Yields of spring crops are expected to be better than in 2023 due to favorable weather conditions in Ukraine. In 2024, MHP is planning to harvest around 344,700 ha of land.

Agriculture Operations Segment's revenue in 6M 2024 amounted to US$ 184 million compared to US$ 112 million in 6M 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes of corn sales on the export market.

For 6M 2024, the IAS 41 standard showed a gain of US$ 13 million, in contrast to a loss of US$ 86 million in 6M 2023. This substantial loss in 2023 was mainly due to derecognition of the revaluation of agriculture produce, which was carried at a fair value higher than the production cost and had been consumed and sold. In 2024, the difference between fair value and cost is much smaller, so this effect is not material.

In the first half of 2023, MHP faced a significant negative revaluation of crops in the fields, which led to a loss under IAS 41 and adversely impacted our EBITDA. However, the first half of 2024 marked a positive shift when rising grain and milk prices have increased the fair value of biological assets, boosting segment performance.

In addition, a substantial portion of the positive EBITDA for the first half of 2024 is attributable to agricultural produce from the previous year's harvest. This is due to the use of higher current market prices for intersegment and external sales, compared to the lower prices applied to the previous year's harvest.

In 6M 2024, poultry meat sales of the European Operating Segment increased by 11% to 43,507 tonnes. This growth was driven by an increase in sales in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, as a result of strategic focus on expanding market presence and boosting sales in these regions.

European Operating Segment's revenue in 6M 2024 increased by 5% y/y to US$ 281 million (6M 2023: US$ 267 million), due to the increase in sales volumes of both poultry meat and processed meat.

Adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) of US$ 47 million for 6M 2024 increased compared with US$ 38 million for 6M 2023 due to higher gross profit result.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital for 6M 2024 decreased to US$ 167 million (6M 2023: US$ 206 million), mainly as a result of the lower profit before tax.

The investments in working capital during 6M 2024 compared to release during 6M 2023 was mainly attributed to significant release of inventories of sunflower seeds and vegetable oil during 6M 2023 from the unusually high levels at the end 2022, caused by disrupted logistics due to War activities, that has partly recovered afterward due to the Grain deal and diversification of delivery routes by the Group.

In 6M 2024 total CAPEX amounted to US$ 134 million, marking a significant increase from US$ 92 million in 6M 2023. This rise is primarily driven by substantial investments in several key areas, including extensive maintenance and modernization of existing facilities and the construction of new bioenergy production facilities. Additional investments were directed toward margin-enhancing projects, advancing our culinary strategy, and meeting evolving compliance requirements. These targeted expenditures are in line with MHP's broader goals of sustainability, efficiency, and long-term growth.

In the first half of 2024, the Group strategically expanded its presence in the agricultural and food sectors through key acquisitions and partnerships. The Group acquired 100% of Toni d.o.o. in Croatia, enhancing its grain supply chain stability, with a net cash outflow of USD 11 million. Additionally, the Group invested USD 4 million for a 24.9% stake in "Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir" in Ukraine and USD 2 million in MHP Desert Hills for Poultry Company in Saudi Arabia, reflecting its commitment to diversifying its operations and securing new growth opportunities.

In accordance with covenants in MHP's bond and loan agreements, these data exclude the effects of IFRS 16 on accounting for operating leases.

²⁾ Indebtedness under trade credit facilities that is required to be repaid within 12 months of drawdown should be excluded for purposes of this calculation

As of 30 June 2024, MHP's cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$ 294 million, of which US$ 123 million was held by the Group's subsidiaries outside Ukraine.

The Net Debt / LTM adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) ratio was 2.41 as of 30 June 2024, well below the limit of 3.0 defined in the Eurobond agreement.

As of 30 June 2024, the share of long-term debt in the total outstanding debt was 93%.

Notes to Editors:

About MHP

MHP SE is the parent company of a leading international food & agrotech group with headquarters in Ukraine and also in the Balkans (Perutnina Ptuj Group).

Ukraine: MHP has the greatest market share and the highest brand recognition for its products. MHP owns and operates each of the key stages of chicken production processes, from feed grains and fodder production to egg hatching and grow out to processing, marketing, distribution and sales (including through MHP's franchise outlets). Vertical integration reduces MHP's dependence on suppliers and its exposure to increases in raw material prices. In addition to cost efficiency, vertical integration also allows MHP to maintain strict biosecurity and to control the quality of its inputs and the resulting quality and consistency of its products through to the point of sale. To support its sales, MHP maintains a distribution network consisting of nine distribution and logistical centers, within major Ukrainian cities. MHP uses its trucks for the distribution of its products, which Management believes reduces overall transportation costs and delivery times.

MHP also has a leading grain cultivation business growing corn to support the vertical integration of its chicken production and increasingly other grains, such as wheat and rape, for sale to third parties. MHP leases agricultural land located primarily in the highly fertile black soil regions of Ukraine.

The Balkans: Perutnina Ptuj is a leading poultry and meat-processing producer in the Balkans, has production assets in four Balkan countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; owns distribution companies in Austria, North Macedonia and Romania and supplies products to 15 countries in Europe. Perutnina Ptuj is a vertically integrated company across all stages of chicken meat production - feed, hatching eggs production and hatching, breeding, slaughtering, sausages and further poultry processing production.

MHP trades on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MHPC since 2008.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Key financial highlights

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, consolidated revenue decreased by 4% to USD 1,489 million, compared to USD 1,555 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. Export sales for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 constituted 64% of total revenue at USD 954 million, compared to USD 973 million and 63% of total revenue for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. The revenue decrease is mainly attributed to reduced contributions from both Poultry and Vegetable Oil segments, but it was partly compensated by higher Agriculture revenue. The decline in Poultry and Vegetable Oil revenue is mainly due to a decrease in volumes of chicken meat and oils, while higher sales volumes and recovery of prices for grains in 2024 positively impacted Agriculture revenue.

Gross profit increased by 29% to USD 378 million for the six-month period ended
30 June 2024 compared to USD 294 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. This growth was driven mainly by higher gross profit generated by Agriculture operations and partial offset by lower results derived from Poultry operations and Vegetable oil segments. Increase of grain and oilseeds prices, leading to higher revaluation of crops in fields in the reporting period, favourably contributed to the results of Agriculture operations.

Operating profit increased by 26% to USD 192 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 compared to USD 152 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. This primarily stems from a rise in gross profit partly offset by heightened payroll-related costs within the selling, general, and administrative expenses as well as war-related costs in other operating costs.

Profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to USD 45 million, compared to USD 67 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. The decrease is mainly due to depreciation of UAH in relation to foreign currencies during the reporting period, which resulted in a net foreign exchange loss of USD 81 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 compared to a net gain of USD 5 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023.

Dividends

In view of continuing War-related uncertainties and the resulting need to preserve liquidity to support the Company's ongoing business operations, the Directors decided not to declare a final dividend for the 2023 financial year. No interim dividend has been declared for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

Risks and uncertainties

Russian invasion

On 24 February 2022, Russian forces began a military invasion of Ukraine resulting in a full-scale war across the Ukrainian State (the "War"). Focused on continuity and sustainability of its business and the preservation of value for all stakeholders, the Group has concentrated on two key areas: the safety of its employees and the food security of the country by prioritizing a continuous supply of food to the population of Ukraine.

As a result of the War, MHP has experienced a number of significant disruptions and operational issues within its business, which are described in detail in Note 14 Operating environment. Detailed information on this matter can also be found on pages 202 to 203 of the 2023 Annual Report which is available at mhp.com.cy.

Management believes that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, due to the currently unpredictable effects of the ongoing War on the significant assumptions underlying management forecasts, Management concludes that a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Group may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Other risks and uncertainties

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties, which could have a material impact on the Group's performance over the remaining six months of the financial year and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The directors do not consider that the principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the publication of the 2023 Annual Report on 2 May 2024. A detailed explanation of the risks, and how the Group seeks to mitigate them, can be found on pages 204 to 207 of the Annual Report which is available at mhp.com.cy.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the members of MHP SE

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of MHP SE (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") on pages 7 to 31, which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, and the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended, and the interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, indicates that the Group's operations are negatively affected by the Russian Federation`s military invasion of Ukraine, with the magnitude of further developments or the timing of their cessation being uncertain. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Notes 2 and 14 indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In 2024, the Group has continued its operations in an environment severely affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine since 24 February 2022. The Group concluded that the analysis of the observable impact of the War as described on pages 161 and 202-203 of the Annual Report, which is available at mhp.com.cy, continues to be relevant for these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The updates in the economic environment conditions during January-June 2024 are presented in Note 14 Operating environment.

Management have prepared adjusted financial forecasts, including cash flow projections, for the twelve months from the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, taking into consideration most likely and possible downside scenarios for the ongoing business impacts of the War. These forecasts as well as related assumptions are materially consistent with those, used in preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, and have been updated to reflect current and reasonably expected market conditions.

These forecasts indicate that, the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to apply the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, due to the currently unpredictable effects of the ongoing War on the significant assumptions underlying management forecasts, the Directors have concluded that a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, in which case the Group may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for the adoption of new amendments effective as of 1 January 2024. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The following amendments have been adopted by the Group on 1 January 2024:

· Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements:

· Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current;

· Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Deferral of Effective Date; and

· Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

· Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

· Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements

The adoption of these new amendments did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group and did not result in any changes to the Group's accounting policies and the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The results and financial position of the Group are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures:

· Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate as of the reporting date of that statement of financial position;

· Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;

· Exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate equity component. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss;

· All equity items except the revaluation reserve are translated at the historical exchange rate. The revaluation reserve is translated at the closing rate as of the statement of financial position date.

Material accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Change in presentation of segment information

In order to accurately reflect the diverse nature of Group's business operations and improve the granularity of reporting, since Q3 2023, the Group has implemented changes to its presentation of business segmentation information. These changes include:

· introduction of a new - Vegetable oils operations segment, which represents production and sales of vegetable oil and related products. During the comparative period ended 30 June 2023, these activities were included into Poultry and related operations segment as by-products of mixed fodder production for poultry;

· inclusion of meat processing and other meat (previously reported within Meat processing and other agricultural operations) in the Poultry and related operations segment given that the meat processing and other meat operations represent less than 10% of the Group`s revenues and have similar characteristics to poultry operations;

· combining of grain-growing operations (presented as separate segment during six-month period ended 30 June 2023) and milk cattle farming (previously presented within Meat processing and other agricultural operations segment) into a revised reportable segment - Agriculture operations.

The corresponding segment information for the periods ended 30 June 2023 have been restated accordingly to ensure comparability.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 contained segment information, using the revised segment composition as described above.

Seasonality of operations

Poultry and related operations, European operating segment, and Vegetable oils operations segment are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.

Agriculture operations segment, due to seasonality and implications of IAS 41, in the first half of the year mainly reflects sales of carried forward agricultural produce and the effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year, it reflects sales of crops and the effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year. Also, Agriculture operations segment has seasonal requirements for working capital increase from November to May due to the sowing campaign.

3. Changes in the group structure

On 28 June 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Toni d.o.o., a non-listed company based in Croatia that engaged in grain trading, drying and storage. The Group has acquired Toni to ensure stability in supply chain of grain for Slovenian and Croatian market.

The provisional fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as set out in the table below.

		28 June 2024
Property, plant and equipment		2.6
Inventories		0.4
Trade accounts receivable		3.7
Other current financial assets		0.1
Cash and cash equivalents		3.6
Trade accounts payable		(0.5)
Other liabilities		(0.4)
Bank borrowings		(4.0)
Total identifiable net assets		5.5
Goodwill arising on acquisition (provisional)		9.1
Total consideration due and payable		14.6

Analysis of cash flows on acquisitions:


Net cash acquitted on acquisition		3.6
Cash paid		14.6
Net cash outflow on acquisition		11.0

The gross amount of trade accounts receivable approximates their provisional fair value as stated above, and it is expected that the full contractual amount can be collected.

The consideration payable is USD 14.6 million, out of which the Group paid USD 14.1 million in June 2024, while remaining USD 0.5 million is payable till 28 September 2024.

Since the Group acquired this business close to the reporting date, the initial accounting for the acquisition has been only provisionally determined. As of the date of finalization of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the necessary market valuations and other elements of purchase price allocation had not been completed and have therefore been based on the directors' best estimate of the likely market values.

The goodwill of USD 9.1 million arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits from combining the assets and activities of Toni with those of the Group, in particular of Perutnina Ptuj operations:

· Stabilization of purchasing prices of grain for feed in Croatian and Slovenian markets.

· Ensuring of local grain quantities supply in view of economy of scale positive effects.

The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

From the date of acquisition, Toni made no material contribution to the Group`s revenue and net profit before tax, as the acquisition was completed close to the reporting date. If the acquisition of Toni had been completed on the first day of the financial year, the Group revenues for the six-months period ended 30 June 2024 would have been USD 1,497 million and the Group profit would have been USD 46 million.

During the reporting period, the Group's goodwill increased due to the acquisition of Toni d.o.o., which added USD 9 million while the translation adjustment caused a reduction of USD 2 million. Consequently, the net book value of goodwill increased from USD 62 million at 31 December 2023 to USD 69 million as at 30 June 2024. No impairment losses were recognized during the period.

4. Segment information

The Group's business is managed worldwide but main manufacturing facilities and sales offices are located primarily in Ukraine, Europe and Middle East.

Reportable segments are presented consistent with the internal reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

Segment information is analyzed based on the types of goods supplied by the Group's operating divisions. The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are as follows:

Poultry and related operations segment:	• sales of poultry meat • sales of processed meat and culinary products • sales of other poultry related products
Vegetable oils operations segment:	• sales of vegetable oil and related products
Agriculture operations segment:	• sales of grains and oilseeds • other agricultural operations (milk, feed grains and other)
European operating segment:	• sales of poultry meat and processed meat products in Southeast Europe

The reportable segments information is prepared using the Group's accounting policies as described in Note 2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies. Sales between segments are carried out at market prices. The segment result represents operating profit under IFRS before unallocated corporate expenses and loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment. Unallocated corporate expenses include management remuneration, representative expenses, and expenses incurred in respect of the maintenance of office premises. This is the measure reported to the CODM for resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

European operating segment primarily includes sales of poultry meat and processed meat products produced by Perutnina Ptuj and its subsidiaries. The CODM manages this as a single segment because each research, development, manufacture, distribution, and selling of chicken meat and meat processing products requires single marketing strategies, a centralized budgeting process, and centralized management of production operations.

The Group does not present information on segment assets and liabilities as the CODM does not review such information for decision-making purposes.

6. Profit for the period

The Group's gross profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 increased compared to the six-month period to USD 378 million (30 June 2023: USD 294 million). This growth was driven mainly by higher gross profit generated by agriculture operations and partial offset by lower results derived from Vegetable oil segment.

Consequently, operating profit increased by 26% to USD 192 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 compared to USD 152 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 as a result of an increase in gross profit. However this was partly offset by higher payroll in selling, general, and administrative as well as increase in war-related costs in other operating expenses, primarily driven by higher donations from the Group to communities and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, along with inventory losses with carrying a value of USD 6 million due to a rocket strike on a rented warehouse in Odessa in May 2024.

Profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to USD 45 million, compared to USD 67 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023. The decrease is explained by depreciation of Ukrainian hryvnia against the US dollar and Euro during the reporting period, that resulted in a net foreign exchange loss of USD 81 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 compared to a net gain of USD 5 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 (for details refer to Note 14 Operating environment in Ukraine).

7. Property, plant and equipment

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, the Group's additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to USD 131 million (six-month period ended 30 June 2023: USD 95 million) related to capital improvements and modernization projects. An increase in additions is higher mainly due to significant investments in the capital improvements of existing facilities and the construction of bioenergy production facilities. There were no significant disposals of property, plant and equipment during the six-month periods ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.

The remaining part of the movement mainly relates to depreciation charge over the period and translation into the presentation currency.

8. Investments in associates

Acquisition of Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir

In April 2024, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the corporate rights in Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir LLC, a company engaged in meat processing in Ukraine. The total estimated consideration for this acquisition is EUR 14.0 million (equivalent to USD 15.1 million).

As of the reporting date, the Group has made a payment of EUR 3.5 million for the acquisition of 24.9% of the corporate rights in the company. The transaction is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the approval by the relevant regulatory bodies.

Since the Group currently exerts significant influence over Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir, but does not yet have control, the investment is classified as an associate and is accounted for using the equity method as at 30 June 2024 with carrying value of USD 3.8 million. Subsequently, in August 2024 the Group has increased its stake in Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir to 49%.

Investment in MHP Desert Hills for Poultry Company

In June 2024, the Group and Desert Hills Veterinary Services Company Limited (DHV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tanmiah Food Company, completed the incorporation of MHP Desert Hills for Poultry Company. This new entity is established for poultry farming in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Group holds a 45% interest, exercising the significant influence over the entity, and DHV holds the remaining 55%.

The Group has committed to investing SAR 26,810 thousand (equivalent to USD 7 million) in the entity, out of which 25% (or USD 2 million) has already been paid in June 2024. The remaining investment will be contributed in accordance with the terms of the shareholder agreement.

8. Investments in associates (continued)

Investment in MHP Desert Hills for Poultry Company (continued)

As of the reporting date, the Group's investment in MHP Desert Hills For Poultry Company is accounted for as an associate using the equity method.

As of 30 June 2024, the carrying amount of the investment is USD 7 million, representing the total committed investment. The payable portion of the investment is recorded under other current liabilities.

9. Inventories, agricultural produce and biological assets

A decrease in inventories for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 is explained by utilizing the existing stocks as at 31 December 2023 during the sowing campaign in 2024 leading to seasonal transfer of the associated costs to biological assets, which was partly mitigated by increase of sunflower and soybean seeds balances designated for vegetable oil production.

A decrease of agricultural produce for six-month period ended 30 June 2024 was mainly as a result of consumption of internally produced grains and oilseeds that was partially mitigated by increase of chicken meat stocks.

The increase in current biological assets as compared to 31 December 2023 is primarily related to crops in fields balance growth, represented mainly by spring crops seeded as well as higher prices for grains and oilseeds to be harvested.

10. Shareholders' equity

As of 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 the authorized, issued and fully paid share capital of MHP SE comprised the following number of shares:

	30 June 2024	31 December 2023

Number of shares issued and fully paid	110,770,000	110,770,000
Number of shares outstanding¹⁾	107,038,208	107,038,208

¹⁾ This number of outstanding shares is included in computation of the weighted average number of shares used as a denominator in calculating earnings per share

The authorized share capital as of 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 was EUR 222 million, represented by 110,770,000 shares with a par value of EUR 2 each.

All shares have equal voting rights and rights to receive dividends, which are payable at the discretion of the Group.

12. Bonds issued (continued)

Covenants

Certain restrictions under the indebtedness agreements (e.g. incurrence of additional indebtedness, restricted payments as defined above, dividends payment) are dependent on the leverage ratio of the Group calculated as Net Debt to EBITDA. Once the leverage ratio exceeds 3.0 to 1, it is not permitted for the Group to make certain restricted payments, declare dividends exceeding USD 30 million in any financial year, or incur additional debt except that defined as a Permitted Debt. According to the indebtedness agreements, the consolidated leverage ratio is tested on the date of incurrence of additional indebtedness or restricted payment and after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or restricted payment as if it had been incurred or done at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are publicly available (or are made available).

As of 30 June 2024, the Group has complied with all covenants. As at 30 June 2024, the Group's leverage ratio decreased to 2.41 to 1, below the defined limit 3.0 to 1, compared to 2.51 and 2.47 to 1 as at 31 March 2024 and 31 December 2023 respectively.

13. Related party balances and transactions

For the purpose of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the other party or exercises significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.

Related parties may enter into transactions unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms and conditions as transactions between unrelated parties.

Transactions with related parties under common control

The Group, in the ordinary course of business, enters into transactions with related parties that are companies under common control of the Principal Shareholder of the Group (Note 1) for the purchase and sale of goods and services and in relation to the provision of financing arrangements. Terms and conditions of sales to related parties are determined based on arrangements specific to each contract or transaction.

Compensation of key management personnel consists of contractual salary and performance bonuses paid.

14. Operating environment in Ukraine

On 24 February 2022, Russian forces commenced a military invasion of Ukraine, resulting in a full-scale war across the Ukrainian state. The ongoing military invasion has led, and continues to lead, to significant casualties, displacement of the population, damage to infrastructure and logistics, and disruption of economic activity in Ukraine.

In 2024, Ukrainian entities continue their business activities in a challenging economic environment, facing disruptions in supply chains, higher business costs, and the physical destruction of production facilities and infrastructure. During March - August 2024, Russia's attacks on Ukrainian power generation and distribution infrastructure led to the loss of a number of generating capacities, severe power outages and increased electricity price.

Stable operation of the Black Sea corridor, established during second half of 2023, continued to support economic activities of Ukrainian companies. However, there has been another logistic challenge from the blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border by Polish truckers and farmers during November 2023 - April 2024, which negatively impacted on Ukraine`s external trade during this period.

In April 2024, the EU extended free trade agreement with Ukraine until 5 June 2025. Further, in May 2024, the EU introduced quantitative restrictions for some types of agricultural products, including poultry, eggs, sugar, oats, corn, cereals and honey. The imposed trade restrictions limit Ukrainian imports of these products to the EU to the average yearly export volumes recorded between 1 July 2021 and 31 December 2023.

Despite the mentioned and other challenges caused by the War, the Ukraine`s GDP grew up by 4.1% during first half of 2024 comparing to the first half-year of 2023. In June 2024, inflation accelerated to 4.8% y/y, driven by a higher energy costs and wage costs as well as higher prices for processed food. Price pressure is expected to persist in the second half year of 2024, caused by the higher business costs, a fading effect of the last year`s larger harvest and the adverse impact of a summer drought on the crop yields in 2024. Based on the most recent publications in July-August 2024, the National Bank of Ukraine (the "NBU") forecasts annual inflation at level of 8.5% by the end of 2024, while economic growth is expected at 3.7% for current year.

Notes to the INTERIM CONDENSED Consolidated financial statements

for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024

(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

14. Operating environment (continued)

Given moderate inflation indicators in June 2024, the NBU cut its key policy rate to 13% p.a. compared to 15% p.a. effective at 31 December 2023. At the same time, the NBU continued to control foreign exchange market under the regime of managed flexibility of the exchange rate effective since October 2023. As at 30 June 2024, Ukrainian hryvna depreciated against the US dollar by 6.7% compared to 31 December 2023.

The Government continues to implement measures to stabilize markets and the economy. International organizations (such as the IMF, EBRD, World Bank), along with individual countries and charities, are providing Ukraine with financing, donations and material support. International assistance remains an important source of financing to meet state budget needs.

The Group considers the following expenses incurred during the six-month periods ended 30 June 2024 and 2023 to be directly related to or driven by the continuing war:

	2024	2023

Salary to mobilized employees²⁾	10.4	8.9
Support donations to communities and defense forces¹⁾	8.3	2.2
Write-off of damaged inventories and biological assets¹⁾ (Note 6)	6.3	0.2
Other war-related expenses¹⁾	1.0	2.1
Total amount recognized in profit or loss	26.0	13.4

¹⁾ These expenses are presented within other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income;

²⁾ These expenses are presented within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Group, working with volunteers, has provided humanitarian aid (mainly through food supply) to the people of Ukraine since the beginning of the war.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments

Taxation and legal matters

The Group carries its operations in various jurisdictions, with a significant number of operations in Ukraine. Ukrainian legislation regarding taxation and other regulatory matters, including currency exchange control and customs regulations, is regularly changed and revisited. Non-compliance with tax laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of severe penalties and fines.

Management believes that the Group has been in compliance with all requirements of effective tax legislation.

The Group exports vegetable oil, chicken meat, and related products and performs intercompany transactions, which may potentially be in the scope of the Ukrainian transfer pricing regulations. The Group has submitted the controlled transaction reports for the years ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 meeting the regulatory deadlines.

As of 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023, management assessed the Group`s possible exposure to tax risks for a total amount of USD 4 million related to corporate income tax. No provision was recognised relating to such possible tax exposure.

As of 30 June 2024, companies of the Group were engaged in ongoing litigation with tax authorities for the amount of USD 30 million (31 December 2023: USD 35 million), including USD 4 million (31 December 2023: USD 6 million) of litigations with the tax authorities related to disallowance of certain amounts of VAT refunds and deductible expenses claimed by the Group. Out of this amount, USD 21 million as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: USD 5 million) relates to cases where court hearings have taken place and where the court in either the first or second instance has already ruled in favor of the Group. In addition, the Group maintains disputes with tax authorities in the amount USD 5 million, which are not brought to the Court as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: USD 26 million).

Manage-ment believes that, based on the past history of court resolutions of similar disputes upheld by the Group, it is unlikely that a significant settlement would arise out of such lawsuits and, therefore, no respective provision is required in the Group's financial statements.

(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments (continued)

Contractual commitments on purchase of property, plant and equipment

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, companies of the Group entered into a number of contracts with foreign suppliers for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. These agreements are mainly related to maintenance and modernization projects, new product development in Ukraine, and expansion of Perutnina Ptuj production facilities. As of 30 June 2024, purchase commitments amounted to USD 79 million (31 December 2023: USD 67 million).

16. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value disclosures in respect of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" and IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group's financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.

The fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade accounts receivables, other current assets, and trade accounts payable due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments. The fair value of non-current financial assets is measured by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, with reference to market interest rates, and it approximates the carrying value of non-current financial assets.

Set out below is the comparison of carrying amounts and fair values of the Group's financial instruments, excluding those discussed above, in the consolidated statement of financial position:

	Carrying amount		Fair value
	30 June 2024	31 December 2023	30 June 2024	31 December 2023

Financial liabilities

Bank borrowings (Note 11)	630	381	630	382
Senior Notes due in 2024, 2026, 2029 (Note 12)	909	1,259	707	996

The fair value of bank borrowings was estimated by discounting the expected future cash outflows by a market interest rates for bank borrowings, and it is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of Senior Notes was estimated based on market quotations and is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the impact of potential climate-related matters, including legislation, climate change, and company climate objectives, which may affect the fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities, has been considered and found not to be material.

17. Risk management policy

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, there were no material changes to the objectives, policies, and process for credit risk, capital risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, livestock diseases risk, and commodity price and procurement risk management.
