1. General information
Adecoagro S.A. (the "Company" or "Adecoagro") is the Group’s ultimate parent company and is a société anonyme (stock corporation) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Adecoagro is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Group". These activities are carried out through three major lines of business, namely, “Farming”; “Sugar, Ethanol and Energy” and “Land Transformation”. Farming is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Adecoagro is a public company listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as a foreign registered company under the ticker symbol of AGRO.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2023.
2. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The Group is exposed to several risks arising from financial instruments including price risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. A thorough explanation of the Group’s risks and the Group’s approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks is included in Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Group's exposure and risk management principles and processes since December 31, 2022. See Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements for more information.
However, the Group considers that the following tables below provide useful information to understand the Group’s interim results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. These disclosures do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
Argentina status:
Since the second half of 2019, the Argentine government instituted certain foreign currency exchange controls, which may restrict or partially restrict access to foreign currency, like the U.S. dollars, to make payments abroad, either for foreign debt or the importation of goods or services, dividend payments and others, without prior authorization. Other restrictions also comprise the deferral of payment of certain public debt instruments and fuel price controls. Those regulations have continued to evolve, sometimes making them more or less stringent depending on the Argentine government’s perception of availability of sufficient national foreign currency reserves. The above has led to the existence of an informal foreign currency market where foreign currencies quote at levels significantly higher than the official exchange rate. However, the only exchange rate available for external commerce is the official exchange rate, which as of September 30, 2023 was Pesos 350 per dollar.

The Group’s analysis shown on the tables below is carried out based on the exposure of each functional currency subsidiary against the US dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies for the period ended September 30, 2023 would have decreased the Group’s Profit before income tax for the period. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement.
A portion of this effect would be recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company’s borrowings was used as cash flow hedge of the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in US dollars (see Hedge Accounting - Cash Flow Hedge below for details).

Hedge Accounting - Cash flow hedge
The Group formally documents and designates cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, as needed.
Generally, the principal amounts of long-term borrowings (non-derivative financial instruments) and notional values of foreign currency forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) are designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are exposed to foreign currency risks, mainly Brazilian Reais/ U.S. Dollar related to operations in Brazil and Argentine Peso/U.S. Dollar in Argentina related to operations in Argentina. As of September 2023 and 2022, approximately 10% of projected sales within those countries qualify as highly probable forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes and are designated as hedged items
The Group prepares formal documentation to support hedge designation, including an explanation of how the designation of the hedging relationship is aligned with the Group’s Risk Management Policy, identification of the hedging

instrument, the hedged transactions, the nature of the risk being hedged and an analysis which demonstrates that the hedge is expected to be highly effective. The Group reassesses the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis comparing the foreign currency component of the carrying amount of the hedging instruments and of the highly probable future sales.
Under cash flow hedge accounting, the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments are not immediately recognized in profit or loss but are reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the periods when the future sales occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting the strategy in the Group’s Risk Management Policy.
The Group expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2023 and 2024.
For the nine months period ended September 30, 2023, a loss before income tax of US$ 7,389 was recognized in other comprehensive income (September 30,2022: US$11,598) and a loss of US$ 44,512 (September 30,2022: US$ 35,145) was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.

▪Other derivative financial instruments
Floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps
In April 2022 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Usina Monte Alegre entered into a R$ 20 million loan with Itaú BBA. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.23% p.a. At the same moment and with the same bank, the Company entered into a swap operation, with the intention to effectively convert the fixed interest rate into a variable interest rate denominated in CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais), plus a fixed rate of 1.29% a.a. The swap matures according to the due date of the loan, on March 24, 2024 and resulted in a recognition of a gain of US$ 6 thousand in 2023.
In December 2020 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into an interest rate swap operation with Itaú BBA for an aggregate amount of US$ 400 million. According to the swap instrument, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema receives IPCA (Extended National Consumer Price Index) plus 4.24% per year and pays CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais) plus 1,85% per year. This swap expires semiannually until December 2026. This contract resulted in a recognition of a gain of US$ 2 million in the three month ended September 30, 2023 (loss of US$ 1.3 million in the nine month ended September 30,2022).
▪Currency forward
During the nine months period ended on September 30, 2023, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with some Brazilian banks, in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. Dollar, for a total aggregate amount of US$ 4 million. These instruments resulted in the recognition of a loss amounting to US$ 0.02 million for the nine

months period ended September 30, 2023. The currency forward contracts maturity dates range between October and November 2023.
Also, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts to hedge the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro for a total notional amount of US$ 0.23 million. The currency forward contracts maturity date is December 2023. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a non-significant loss for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2023.
Gain and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.
3. Segment information
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the ‘management approach’. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s CODM is the Management Committee. IFRS 8 stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group’s internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker.
The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.
•The ‘Farming’ is further comprised of three reportable segments:
•‘Crops’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning and handling and drying services to third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Group’s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
•‘Rice’ Segment which consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice.
•‘Dairy’ Segment which consists of the production and sale of raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
•All Other Segments’ which consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure, namely, Coffee and Cattle.
•‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment which consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and then marketed;
•‘Land Transformation’ Segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).
Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.

3. Segment information (continued)
Effective July 1, 2018, the Group applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”) to its operations in Argentina. IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted for the effects of changes in the general price index and be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period (“inflation accounting”). In order to determine whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary, IAS 29 sets forth a series of factors to be considered, including whether the amount of cumulative inflation nears or exceeds a threshold of 100 % accumulated in three years. Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29. According to IAS 29, all Argentine Peso-denominated non-monetary items in the statement of financial position are adjusted by applying a general price index from the date they were initially recognized to the end of the reporting period. Likewise, all Argentine Peso-denominated items in the statement of income should be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, income statement items are adjusted by applying a general price index on a monthly basis from the dates they were initially recognized in the financial statements to the end of the reporting period. This process is called “re-measurement”.
Once the re-measurement process is completed, all Argentine Peso denominated accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars, the Group’s reporting currency, applying the guidelines in IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”(“IAS 21”). IAS 21 requires that amounts be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This process is called “translation”.
The re-measurement and translation processes are applied on a monthly basis until year-end. Due to these processes, the re-measured and translated results of operations for a given month are subject to change until year-end, affecting comparison and analysis.
Following the adoption of IAS 29 to the Argentine operations of the Group, management changed the information reviewed by the CODM. Accordingly, as from July 1, 2018, (commencement of hyper-inflation accounting in Argentina), the information provided to the CODM departs from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 re-measurement and translation processes. For segment reporting purposes, the segment results of the Argentine operations for each reporting period were adjusted for inflation and translated into the Group’s reporting currency using the reporting period average exchange rate. The translated amounts were not subsequently re-measured and translated in accordance with the IAS 29 and IAS 21 procedures outlined above.
In order to evaluate the segment’s performance on a monthly basis, results of operations in Argentina are based on monthly data adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar each month. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted as described above under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the Group uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.
The Group’s CODM believes that the exclusion of the re-measurement and translation processes from the segment reporting structure allows for a more useful presentation and facilitates period-to-period comparison and performance analysis.
The following tables show a reconciliation of the reportable segments where the information reviewed by the CODM differs from the reportable segment information measured in accordance with IAS 29 and IAS 21 as per the Consolidated Financial Statements for all years presented. These tables do not include information for the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy reportable segment since this information is not affected by the application of IAS 29 and therefore there is no difference between the information reviewed by the CODM and the information included in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tax Inflation Adjustment in Argentina
Laws 27,430, 27,468 and 27,541 introduced several amendments to the provisions allowing the application of adjustments for inflation provided by the Income Tax Law. Effective as from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the inflation adjustment procedure set out in Title VI of the Income Tax Law (the “Title VI Procedure”) shall be applicable in such fiscal years in which the accumulated variation of the CPI (“Consumer Price Index”) measured within the 36 months immediately preceding the end of the relevant fiscal year, is higher than 100%.The Title VI Procedure would be applicable as from the effective date because the CPI variation reached the prescribed limits.
However, Section 39 of Law No. 24,073 suspended the application of Title VI relating to the income tax inflation adjustment since April 1, 1992 to certain items, such as, fixed assets, inventory, and tax loss carryforwards, among others.
After the economic crisis of 2002, many taxpayers began to question the legality of the provisions suspending the income tax inflation adjustment. The Argentine Supreme Court of Justice issued a verdict in the “Candy” case dated July 3, 2009 in which the court stated that, in particular for fiscal year 2002, and considering the state of disarray of the economic variables, the taxpayer could apply the tax inflation adjustment if it could demonstrate that its non-application would result in confiscatory income tax rates.

10. Taxation (continued)
More recently, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice applied a similar criterion to the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 fiscal years in the cases brought by “Distribuidora Gas del Centro” (10/14/14, 06/02/15, 10/04/16 and 06/25/19), among others, enabling the application of income tax inflation adjustment for periods not affected by a severe economic crisis such as the 2002 crisis in Argentina.
Management believes that the non-application of the income tax inflation adjustment would result in confiscatory income tax rates. Accordingly, based on the judicial precedents and on the opinion of external and internal tax advisors, the Company has adjusted all items for inflation including those suspended by Section 39 of Law 24,073 as described above.
The application of tax laws requires interpretation, and accordingly involves the application of judgement and is open to challenge by the relevant tax authorities. This gives rise to a level of uncertainty. Provisions for uncertain tax positions are established in accordance with IFRIC 23 based on an assessment of the range of likely tax outcomes in open years and reflecting the strength of technical arguments. Amounts are provided for individual tax uncertainties based on management’s assessment of whether the most likely amount or an expected amount based on a probability weighted methodology is the more appropriate predicter of amounts that the Company is ultimately expected to settle. When making this assessment, the Company utilizes specialist in-house tax knowledge and experience and takes into consideration specialist tax advice from third party advisers on specific items. The Company has not provided any amount in this case based on its belief that it has solid arguments to support its position.
The tax on the Group’s profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities as follows:

11. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The Group determined the valuation of farmlands (US$ 697 million as of September 30, 2023) using, a "Sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Under the Sales Comparison Approach, the Group uses sale prices of comparable properties further adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the sales price as of September 30, 2023 would have reduced the value of the farmlands US$ 69.7 million, which would impact, net of its tax effect on the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
Depreciation charges are included in “Cost of production of Biological Assets”, “Cost of production of manufactured products”, “General and administrative expenses”, “Selling expenses” and capitalized in “Property, plant and equipment” for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
As of September 30, 2023, borrowing costs of US$ 2,993 (September 30, 2022: US$ 2,447) were capitalized as components of the cost of acquisition or construction of qualifying assets.
Certain of the Group’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Group’s borrowings and other payables. The net book value of the pledged assets amounts to US$ 140,542 as of September 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022: U$S 124,554).

“La Niña” weather event
“La Niña” is a weather phenomenon caused by the fluctuation of the ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific due to changes in the atmosphere, which affects the climate of several regions worldwide. When the temperature of the ocean decreases by 0.5°C below the five-quarter average, a so called “La Niña” weather pattern begins. This whether phenomenon is characterized by below average precipitations during spring and summertime in South America. We have experienced this weather pattern in Argentina and Uruguay, where most of our Farming operations are based, throughout the last three consecutive years and it has extended its effects during the beginning of 2023 and continue affecting production as of today, resulting in a severe drought in almost all productive regions in Argentina and Uruguay. Our diversification in terms of geographic footprint and crops planted (soybean, peanut, corn, wheat, sunflower, among others), acts as a natural hedge against weather risk, and enables us to adopt defensive strategies such as delaying planting activities and switching between crops which are either more resilient to dry weather or have a later development stage. However, and despite our ability to partially mitigate this effect, this year, as a consequence of the La Niña weather event, we foresee that the yields of our different crops will see a reduction ranging from 18% to 60%, depending on the crop, thus significantly affecting our results of operations.
16. Financial instruments
As of September 30, 2023, the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.
For Level 1 instruments, valuation is based on the unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. Level 1 financial instruments mainly consist of crop futures and options traded on the stock market. In the case of securities, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
Derivatives not traded on the stock market are categorized as Level 2 instruments and are valued using models based on observable market data. The Group uses inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market, other than quoted prices. If the

16. Financial instruments (continued)
derivative financial instrument has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. Level 2 financial instruments mainly consist of interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest-rate swaps.
For Level 3 instruments, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group does not have any Level 3 financial instruments for any of the periods presented.
There were no transfers between any levels during any of the periods presented.
The following tables present the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:

The terms and conditions of the agreement contemplate the payment, subject to adjustments, of a purchase price of approximately US$ 17.7 million payable in three annual installments and the assumption of the existing financial debt for an amount of US$ 17.9 million. At Closing Date, the Group paid the first installments of US$ 2 million and US$ 8 million of the assumed debt.
In addition, the agreement provides for a cash contingent payment of US$ 1,215, which will be payable only if certain conditions are met.
The Company has made an allocation of the purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at acquisition date. The Company has made significant assumptions and estimates in determining the purchase price, including the contingent payment and the allocation of the estimated purchase price in these consolidated financial statements.
As the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was greater than the total consideration paid, negative goodwill arises on the acquisition. The negative goodwill is recognized as “Bargain purchase gain on acquisition” in the income statement for the year end December 31, 2022 reflecting the opportunity to acquire the rice operations in Argentina and Uruguay from an outgoing market player.
The following table summarizes the purchase price: | | | | | | | | |
Purchase consideration: | | |
Amount paid in cash | | 1,512 | |
Amounts to be paid in installments (*) | | 16,242 | |
Total purchase consideration | | 17,754 | |
Fair value of net assets acquired | | 27,507 | |
Bargain purchase on acquisition over the total purchase consideration | | 9,753 | |
During the nine-month ended September 30, 2023, an amount of US$3.2 million of the installments was paid.
(*) Amounts to be paid in installments were discounted at present value as of the date of acquisition at a 6.5% discount rate.

20. Acquisition and disposals (continued)
The assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition are as follows:
| | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | 3,266 | |
Trade and other receivables | 21,068 | |
Inventories | 50,891 | |
Biological assets | 1,676 | |
Property, plant and equipment | 21,479 | |
Total Assets | 98,380 | |
Trade and other payables | (50,062) | |
Payroll and other liabilities | (961) | |
Borrowings | (17,738) | |
Deferred income tax liabilities | (1,812) | |
Provision for other liabilities | (300) | |
Total Liabilities | (70,873) | |
Fair value of Net Assets Acquired | 27,507 | |
The Company used a replacement cost method or a market approach, as appropriate, to measure the fair value of property, plant and equipment.
All other net tangible assets were valued at their respective carrying amounts, as the Company believes that these amounts approximate their current fair values.
A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired, or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed, from those preliminary valuations would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding decrease in the “Bargain purchase gain”.
Acquisition-related costs of US$ 193 thousands are included in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Decision of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ meeting
On April 20, 2022 the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company decided to reduce the issued share capital of the Company by an amount of $16,500,000 by the cancellation of 11,000,000 shares with a nominal value of $1.50 each held in treasury by the Company so that, as from April 20, 2022, the issued share capital amounts to $167,072,722.50, represented by 111,381,815 shares in issue (of which 4,743,750 are treasury shares) with a nominal value of $1.50 each.
Share Repurchase Program
On September 12, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The repurchase program has been renewed by the Board of Directors on an annual basis since inception. On August 15, 2023, the Board of Directors renewed the program for an additional twelve-month period ending on September 23, 2024.
Repurchases of shares under the program may be made from time to time (i) in open market transactions in compliance with the trading conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) through privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchase program does not require Adecoagro to acquire any specific number or amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, reinstated or terminated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without prior notice. The size and the timing of repurchases will depend upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 24,031,544 shares under the program, of which 8,418,655 have been utilized to cover the exercise and granted of the Company’s employee stock option plan and restricted stock plan and 11 million shares were reduced from capital. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company repurchased shares for an amount of 2,082,837 and 3,331,749 respectively. The outstanding treasury shares as of September 30, 2023 totaled 4,743,750.

In 2004, the Group established the “2004 Incentive Option Plan” (“Option Schemes”) under which the Group granted equity-settled options to senior managers and selected employees of the Group’s subsidiaries.
Further, in 2010, the Group established the “Adecoagro Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Plan” (the “Restricted Share Plan”) under which the Group grants restricted shares, or restricted stock units to directors of the Board, senior and medium management and key employees of the Group.
(a)Option Schemes
No expense was accrued for both periods under the Options Schemes.
As of September 30, 2023, 6,500 options (September 30, 2022: 313,582) were exercised. No options were forfeited or expired for any of the periods presented. On August 15, 2023, the plan was extended for an additional 10 years, whereas the expiration to exercise the options was extended.
(b)Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Plan
As of September 30, 2023, the Group recognized compensation expense of US$ 4.9 million related to the restricted shares granted under the Restricted Share Plan (September 30, 2022: US$ 5.4 million).

27. Provisions for other liabilities
The Group is subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries where it operates. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and it can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity. There have been no material changes to claimed amounts and current proceedings since December 31, 2022.

29. Basis of preparation and presentation
The information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of September 30, 2023 and for the nine-months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is unaudited and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2023, results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In preparing these accompanying interim financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), ‘Interim financial reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations are mandatory since January 1, 2023. These standards did not have any material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The following standards and amendments have been issued by the IASB. Below we outline the standards and amendments that may potentially have an impact on the Group at the time of application.
Standards and amendments not yet adopted by the Group:
International Tax Reform – “Pillar Two”:
Pillar Two will generally apply to any entity that is a member of a multinational group (i.e., a group that contains a taxable presence in at least one jurisdiction other than the parent entity’s jurisdiction) with consolidated annual revenue of €750 million or more in at least two of the preceding four fiscal years. The annual revenue is based upon the ultimate parent entity’s consolidated financial statements.
The Group has applied the “International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12) ” issued on May 23, 2023, from fiscal year 2023. This amendment provides an exception rule that temporarily exempts the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes related to taxes arising from the taxation system on the pillar two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (hereinafter, the “Pillar Two Income Taxes”). The Group has applied the said exception rule retroactively from fiscal year 2023 and has not recognized and disclosed the deferred taxes related to the Pillar Two Income Taxes.
On July 28, 2023, Luxembourg’s government council approved a new bill aiming to implement into Luxembourg law the “Pillar Two Directive”. It is expected that the Pillar Two Directive be effective as from January 1, 2024. Management is currently assessing the jurisdictions that could give rise to additional taxation and potential impact as a result of the implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules in national laws.
Lack of interchangeability of currencies - amendments to IAS 21
The amendments to IAS 21, issued in August 2023, have been prepared to respond to concerns about diversity in practice when accounting for the lack of interchangeability between currencies. The amendments will assist businesses and investors by addressing an issue that was not previously covered in the accounting requirements for the effects of changes in exchange rates. The adoption of the amendment is mandatory from January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted.
Management is evaluating the impact that these new standards and amendments will have for the Group.

29. Basis of preparation and presentation (continued)
Seasonality of operations
The Group’s business activities are inherently seasonal. The Group generally harvest and sell its grains (corn, soybean, rice and sunflower) between February and August, with the exception of wheat, which is harvested from December to January. Peanut is harvested from April to May, and sales are executed with higher intensity during the third quarter of the year. Cotton is a unique in that while it is typically harvested from June to August, it requires processing which takes about two to three months to complete. Sales in our Dairy business segment tend to be more stable. However, milk production is generally higher during the fourth quarter, when the weather is more suitable for production. Although our Sugar, Ethanol and Electricity cluster is currently operating under a “non-stop” or “continuous” harvest and without stopping during traditional off-season, the rest of the sector in Brazil is still primarily operating with large off-season periods from December/January to March/April. The result of large off-season periods is fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol sales and in our inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season period (i.e., January through April). As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.
30. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Group's critical accounting policies are also consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 described in Note 32.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independently, assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Group’s property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.
In the case of goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) expected to benefit from the business combination. CGU to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the CGU may be impaired. The carrying amount of the CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain significant judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not.
For purposes of the impairment testing, each CGU represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Farmlands may be used for different activities that may generate independent cash flows. Those farmlands that are used for more than one segment activity (i.e. crops and cattle or rental income), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing. For its properties in Brazil, management identified a farmland together with its related mill as separate CGUs. Most of the farmlands in Argentina and Uruguay are treated as single CGUs.
Based on these criteria, management identified a total amount of 41 CGUs as of September 30, 2023 and 42 CGUs as of September 30, 2022.

30. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators, the Group only tested those CGUs with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil.
CGUs tested based on a fair-value-less-costs-to-sell model at September 30, 2023 and 2022:
As of September 30, 2023, the Group identified 10 CGUs in Argentina (2022: 10 CGUs) to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). Estimating the fair value less costs-to-sell is based on the best information available, and refers to the amount at which the CGU could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Management may be assisted by the work of external advisors. When using this model, the Group applies the “sales comparison approach” as its method of valuing most properties, which relies on results of sales of similar agricultural properties to estimate the value of the CGU. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties.
Fair values are determined by extensive analysis which includes current and potential soil productivity of the land (the ability to produce crops and maintain livestock) projected margins derived from soil use, rental value obtained for soil use, if applicable, and other factors such as climate and location. Farmland ratings are established by considering such factors as soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage and rain levels. Farmland may contain farm outbuildings. A farm outbuilding is any improvement or structure that is used for farming operations. Outbuildings are valued based on their size, age and design.
Based on the factors described above, each farm property is assigned different soil classifications for the purposes of establishing a value, Soil classifications quantify the factors that contribute to the agricultural capability of the soil. Soil classifications range from the most productive to the least productive.
The first step to establishing an assessment for a farm property is a sales investigation that identifies the valid farm sales in the area where the farm is located. A price per hectare is assigned for each soil class within each farm property. This price per hectare is determined based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis mainly described above.
The results are then tested against actual sales, if any, and current market conditions to ensure the values produced are accurate, consistent and fair.

Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2023 and 2022.
CGUs tested based on a value-in-use model at September 30, 2023 and 2022:
As of September 30, 2023, the Group identified 2 CGUs (2022: 2 CGUs) in Brazil to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). The determination of the value-in-use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management’s cash flow projections In performing the value-in-use calculation, the Group applied pre-tax rates to discount the future pre-tax cash flows. In each case, these key assumptions have been made by management reflecting past experience and are consistent with relevant external sources of information, such as appropriate market data. In calculating value-in-use, management may be assisted by the work of external advisors.
The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations which are considered to be most sensitive to the calculation are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Key Assumptions | | September 30, 2023 | | September 30, 2022 |
Financial projections | | Covers 5 years for UMA (*) | | Covers 5 years for UMA (*) |
| | Covers 5 years for AVI (**) | | Covers 5 years for AVI (**) |
Yield average growth rates | | 0-2% | | 0-1% |
Future pricing increases | | 0.46% per annum | | 1.21% per annum |
Future cost decrease | | 0.96% per annum | | 0.25% per annum |
Discount rates | | 5.2% | | 5.2% |
Perpetuity growth rate | | 1% | | 1% |
(*) UMA stands for Usina Monte Alegre LTDA.
(**) AVI stands for Adecoagro Vale Do Ivinhema S.A.
Discount rates are based on the risk-free rate for U. S. government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in South America and Brazil in particular. The risk premium adjustment is assessed for factors specific to the respective CGUs and reflects the countries that the CGUs operate in.

Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Management views these assumptions are conservative and does not believe that any reasonable change in the assumptions would cause the carrying value of these CGU’s to exceed the recoverable amount.
