MHP SE
Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months ended 30 June 2025
MHP SE (LSE:MHPC), the parent company of a leading international food and agri
group, today announces its audited results for the second quarter and six
months ended 30 June 2025. Hereinafter, MHP SE and its subsidiaries are
referred to as "MHP", "The Company" or "The Group".
MHP is reporting good operational and financial results for 6M 2025 thanks to
a recovery in export levels, continued strong demand, a stable price
environment and our team's success in minimizing disruption to production. It
should be noted that operational and financial results in 6M 2024 were more
seriously affected by disruption from the War, setting a low bar for
year-on-year comparison. Future results may be adversely affected by
War-related challenges beyond MHP's control.

WAR IN UKRAINE - UPDATE
Russia's War of attrition has entered its fourth year, a grim milestone. We
have seen significant offensives in both the southern and eastern territories
of Ukraine and the destruction of infrastructure & loss of life in all
regions.
The War continues to have a major impact on the Company's operations and our
H1 2025 performance reflects both the resilience and agility of our business
model and the tremendous efforts of our workforce. Drone and rocket attacks
against civilian, energy and other infrastructure targets have continued,
presenting us with a challenging operational environment, and driving up
additional War-related costs. We are closely following and examining the
potential outcomes of ongoing peace negotiations and their implications for
Ukraine's economic outlook as a whole and MHP in particular. As things stand a
peace deal would likely relieve pressure on the local currency, ease labour
shortages and increase domestic demand - allowing MHP to expand our current
operations across the country.
We continue to actively support humanitarian relief and support on the ground,
led by our strategic partner, the Charitable Foundation MHP - HROMADI.
GLOBAL EXPANSION
In July MHP officially completed its transaction to acquire over 92% of the
share capital of Grupo UVESA, one of Spain's major producers of poultry and
pork, which operates a similar vertically integrated model. MHP now controls
the company's core processes and operational activities. The closing of the
transaction became possible following the completion of the accession period
to the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), signed in March 2025, and after
obtaining all required regulatory approvals. In particular, MHP received
clearances from the antitrust authorities of Ukraine, Spain, Saudi Arabia,
Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo, as well as merger control and foreign
subsidies approval from the European Commission.
The Company's goal is to build on UVESA's legacy foundations - with a focus on
operational excellence, sustainable development, global food security and team
investment. With the backing of MHP's international expertise and the
Company's commitment to the highest standards of food safety and animal
welfare, we are confident in our ability to unlock new opportunities and
deliver long-term value for all our stakeholders.
The integration process will emphasize operational alignment, knowledge &
best practice sharing, and targeted investment in efficiency and product
innovation. Together we'll also explore ways to strengthen export capabilities
and expand our reach across European and Middle Eastern markets.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Key financial highlights
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, consolidated revenue increased
by 10% to USD 1,635 million, compared to USD 1,489 million for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2024. Export sales for the six-month period ended 30 June
2025 constituted 61% of total revenue at USD 991 million, compared to USD 954
million and 64% of total revenue for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.
The revenue increase was primarily driven by higher contributions from the
Poultry segment, reflecting increased prices for both poultry and processed
meat, partially offset by lower volumes of poultry meat sold.
Gross profit decreased by 3% to USD 368 million for the six-month period ended
30 June 2025 compared to USD 378 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2024. The decrease was primarily due to weaker results in the Vegetable
Oil segment, where elevated oilseed prices compressed margins.
Operating profit decreased by 29% to USD 136 million for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2025 compared to USD 192 million for the six-month period ended
30 June 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower gross profit,
higher payroll-related expenses within selling, general and administrative
costs, and increased war-related expenses recorded in other operating costs.
Profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 amounted to USD 75 million,
compared to USD 45 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024. The
increase was mainly due to relative stability of UAH in relation to foreign
currencies during the reporting period, which resulted in a net foreign
exchange gain of USD 14 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
compared to a net loss of USD 81 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2024.
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 2024 financial year.
No interim dividend has been declared for the six-month period ended 30 June
2025 either.
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 13 Operating environment in Ukraine. Detailed information on
this matter can also be found on page 171 of the Annual Report, which is
available at mhp.com.cy (https://mhp.com.cy/financial-reports/annual-reports/)
.
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 risks posed by 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 other 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 2024 Annual Report on 28 April 2025. A detailed explanation of the
risks, and how the Group seeks to mitigate them, can be found on pages 221 to
224 of the Annual Report which is available at mhp.com.cy
(https://mhp.com.cy/financial-reports/annual-reports/) .

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 6 to 27, which comprise the interim condensed consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, 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 IFRS Accounting 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 IFRS
Accounting 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, which 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 13 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.

Notes to the INTERIM CONDENSED Consolidated financial statements
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the
European Union (EU). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual
consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024, prepared in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union and
the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in the
US dollars (USD) and all values are rounded to the nearest million, except
when otherwise indicated.
Going concern
In 2025, 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 171 and 217-218 of the Annual Report, which is available at
mhp.com.cy (https://mhp.com.cy/financial-reports/annual-reports/) , continues
to be relevant for these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
With respect to the Group's Eurobond indebtedness maturing in April 2026,
management continues to pursue a prudent debt management strategy to ensure
timely servicing of its obligations. The Group has a strong track record of
meeting its debt obligations in full and on time and maintains constructive
relationships with its bondholders and other creditors. Management regularly
monitors available financing options and remains confident in the Group's
ability to develop and implement an effective strategy for the settlement of
the 6.95% Senior Notes due in 2026.
The updates in the economic environment conditions during January-June 2025
are presented in Note 13 Operating environment.
Management has prepared financial forecasts, including cash flow projections,
covering the 2025-2026 budget cycle. These forecasts reflect expected economic
conditions, considering anticipated changes in the operating environment,
including the impact of the War and other relevant factors. The Group ensures
financial stability by continuously monitoring its obligations under existing
debt agreements and implementing necessary measures to meet its debt servicing
requirements in full and on time.
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 factors
described in the Annual report and above, the Directors have concluded that
a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt on 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 IFRS Accounting 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 2024, except for the following amendments to IFRS
Accounting Standard which has been adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2025:
· IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of
Exchangeability (Amendments). The amendments are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
The newly adopted amendments to the IFRS Accounting Standard did not have a
material impact on the Group's accounting policies and on the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not
early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been
issued but is not yet effective.

Functional and presentation currencies
The functional currency of the Ukrainian companies of the Group is the
Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH"); the functional currency of the Cyprus companies
and Luxembourg company of the Group is the US Dollar ("USD"); the functional
currency of the European companies of the Group is the Euro ("EUR"); the
functional currency of the United Arab Emirates companies is the Dirham
("AED"); the functional currency of the UK company is the British Pound
("GBP"); the functional currency of the Saudi Arabia company is the Saudi
Riyal ("SAR").
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities
concerned are treated as transactions in foreign currencies.
Such transactions are initially recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at
the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
such currencies are translated prevailing rates on the reporting date. All
realized and unrealized gains and losses arising on exchange differences are
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income for the period.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("USD"),
the Group's presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest
million, except when otherwise indicated.
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.

for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
Functional and presentation currencies (continued)
For practical reasons, the Group translates items of income and expenses, cash
flow items for each period presented in the financial statements using the
quarterly average exchange rates if such translations reasonably approximate
the results translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
The following exchange rates were used:
Currency Closing rate as of 30 June 2025 Average for six months ended 30 June 2025 Average for three months ended 30 June 2025 Closing rate as of 31 December 2024 Average for six months ended 30 June 2024 Average for three months ended 30 June 2024

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
Acquisition of Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir in January 2025
On 24 January 2025, the Group obtained control over Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir
LLC, a Ukrainian meat processing company. The acquisition was carried out in
stages: an initial 24.9% stake was acquired in April 2024, increased to 49% in
August 2024, and completed with the acquisition of the remaining 51% in
January 2025. The carrying value of 49% ownership interest in this investee of
USD 7.5 million together with the prepayment for the remaining 51% ownership
interest of USD 7.4 million made by the Group in December 2024 were presented
within investments in associates as at 31 December 2024.
The total final consideration for this acquisition is USD 15.6 million,
including the acquisition-date fair value of initial 49% interest as
mentioned above. At the ultimate acquisition date, the provisional fair
value of the company's identifiable net assets was USD 10.5 million, primarily
consisting of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories,
trade and other accounts receivables and payables.
Goodwill of USD 5.1 million was recognized as part of the transaction,
reflecting expected synergies from the enhanced market presence in the
processed meat segment, access to established brands such as "Ukrainskyi
Miasnyi Khutir" and "Parowki", and anticipated operational efficiencies from
integrating support functions while maintaining the acquired company's
autonomous operations.
From the date of acquisition, Ukrainskyi Miasnyi Khutir contributed revenue of
USD 8 million to the Group`s results. Its contribution to net profit was not
material.
As of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, the
Group is in the process of completing the purchase price allocation for the
business combination, which is expected to be finalized within twelve months
from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of the UVESA Group in July 2025
On 31 July 2025, subsequent to the reporting date, the Group finalized the
acquisition of 92% of the share capital of the UVESA Group ("UVESA"), a
leading Spanish producer of poultry meat and animal feed. From that date, the
Group MHP has obtained control over UVESA. The total consideration for the
transaction amounted to EUR 271 million (equivalent of USD 312 million).
This strategic acquisition represents a significant milestone in the Group 's
long-term development strategy aimed at geographical diversification, enhanced
vertical integration, and expansion in the European Union market. Through
the transaction, the Group gains access to a fully operational business with
an established operating model, developed infrastructure, and a stable
customer base in Spain.
UVESA, headquartered in Tudela (Spain), is a vertically integrated producer of
poultry, pork, and animal feed, operating both its own facilities and a wide
network of over 600 integrated farms. Its products are mainly sold through
large retailers and wholesalers, with poultry accounting for more than
two-thirds of total revenue.
As of the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial
statements, the preliminary assessment of the fair values of the identifiable
net assets acquired, as well as the determination of goodwill and
non-controlling interest, has not yet been finalized. The Group is in the
process of completing the purchase price allocation and evaluating the
financial impact of this transaction on its consolidated financial statements,
which is expected to be completed during twelve months from the acquisition
date.

6. Profit for the period
The Group's gross profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 decreased
to USD 368 million compared to USD 378 million for the six-month period ended
30 June 2024. The decline was primarily driven by weaker performance in the
Vegetable Oil segment, where elevated oilseed prices compressed margins.
The Group's operating profit decreased by 29% to USD 136 million for the
six-month period ended 30 June 2025 compared to USD 192 million for the
six-month period ended 30 June 2024. The decline was mainly attributable to
lower gross profit, higher payroll-related expenses within selling, general
and administrative costs, and increased war-related expenses presented in
other operating expenses.
Profit for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 amounted to USD 75 million,
compared to USD 45 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024. The
increase was mainly due to relative stability of UAH in relation to foreign
currencies during the reporting period, which resulted in a net foreign
exchange gain of USD 14 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
compared to a net loss of USD 81 million for the six-month period ended 30
June 2024.
7. Property, plant and equipment
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, the Group's additions to
property, plant and equipment amounted to USD 131 million (six-month period
ended 30 June 2024: USD 131 million) and were driven by capital improvements
and modernization projects. In 2025, the Group continued its investments in
enhancing the existing facilities and constructing bioenergy production
facilities. There were no significant disposals of property, plant and
equipment during the six-month periods ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024.
The remaining part of the movements mainly relates to depreciation charge over
the period, which increased due to the latest revaluation of property, plant
and equipment carried on 1 October 2024, and translation into the presentation
currency.
8. Inventories, agricultural produce and biological assets
A decrease in inventories for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 was
primarily due to the utilization of stocks held as at 31 December 2024 during
the 2025 sowing campaign, resulting in a seasonal transfer of the related
costs to biological assets. The decrease was also driven by the consumption of
corn, sunflower, and soybean seeds designated for fodder and vegetable oil
production.
A decrease in agricultural produce for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
was mainly attributable to the use of internally produced grains and oilseeds,
partially offset by an increase in chicken meat stocks.
The increase in current biological assets compared to 31 December 2024 was
mainly due to higher balances of crops in the fields, represented
predominantly by spring crops sown as well as an increase in market prices for
grains and oilseeds to be harvested.
9. Shareholders' equity
As of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 the authorized, issued and fully paid
share capital of MHP SE comprised the following number of shares:
30 June 2025 31 December 2024

Less: Treasury shares (3,731,792) (3,731,792)
Number of shares outstanding 107,038,208 107,038,208
The authorized share capital as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 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.

Covenants
The Group, as well as its specified subsidiaries, have to comply with the
following maintenance covenants imposed by the banks providing the loans:
EBITDA to interest expenses ratio, current ratio, and liabilities to equity
ratio. These covenants are assessed regularly to ensure compliance, and the
Group is required to meet these covenants on a quarterly basis.
As of the reporting date, the carrying value of non-current liabilities
subject to these covenants amounted to USD 310 million. The Group has
assessed all relevant information and does not expect any breach of these
covenants to occur. This assessment considers the Group's current financial
position and historical performance, along with its established processes for
proactively managing financial metrics to ensure covenant compliance.
Separately, if the Group's Net Debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds the defined
threshold, certain negative covenants are triggered. These include
restrictions on dividend payments, incurrence of additional indebtedness,
mergers or consolidations, creation of liens, disposal of assets, and
transactions with affiliates.
The Group remained compliant with all the covenants as of 30 June 2025. Its

12. 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 and key management personnel
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) and the associates for the purchase and sale
of goods and services and the key management personnel 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. The terms of the payables and receivables related to the Group's
trading activities do not vary significantly from the terms of similar
transactions with third parties.
Transactions with related parties during the six-month periods ended 30 June

such loans amounted to USD 1,834 thousand and USD 1,810 thousand as of 30 June
2025 and 31 December 2024, respectively.
Compensation of key management personnel

consists of contractual salary and performance bonuses paid.
13. 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 operated in a challenging economic environment,
facing supply chain disruptions, higher costs, and damage to infrastructure.
Attacks on Ukraine's energy system caused severe power shortages and higher
electricity prices. These factors continued to affect business activities in
2025. The Black Sea corridor, established in the second half of 2023, remained
operational and supported economic activity, although external trade was
previously constrained by the blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border during
November 2023 - April 2024.
The European Union's Autonomous Trade Measures (ATMs), which had granted
Ukrainian agricultural products, including poultry, tariff-free access to EU
markets, expired on 5 June 2025. Their expiration led to the reinstatement of
tariffs and quotas on key exports. While this development may affect the
Group's access conditions to EU markets, management is actively monitoring the
situation and preparing to adjust operations in response to the evolving trade
environment.
Despite the mentioned and other challenges caused by the War, Ukraine`s GDP
grew by 1.1% during first half of 2025 comparing to the first half-year of
2024. As anticipated, inflation reached its peak in May before returning to
decline in June. The year-on-year rate stood at 14.3%, largely driven by a
substantial increase in the cost of basic agricultural products. This was due
to a combination of factors, including a decrease in the supply of certain
fruits and vegetables due to spring frosts, and a significant increase in the
price of meat products, coinciding with challenges in the livestock sector.
The economic growth forecast for 2025 has been revised downwards to 2.1% by
the National Bank of Ukraine due to continued hostilities and their impact on
infrastructure and production. This figure represents a slowdown from the
previous forecast of 3.1%.
Notes to the INTERIM CONDENSED Consolidated financial statements
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025
(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
13. Operating environment in Ukraine (continued)
To maintain currency market stability, keep expectations under control, and
bring inflation down to the 5% target over the policy horizon, the National
Bank of Ukraine is keeping its key policy rate at 15.5% since March 2025.
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 nongovernmental organizations, are
providing Ukraine with financing, donations and material support. External
financial support remains a critical contributor to the funding of the state
budget.
The Group considers the following expenses incurred during the six-month
periods ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 to be directly related to or driven by the
continuing war:
2025 2024
Salary to mobilized employees(2)) 11.8 10.4
Support donations to communities and defense forces(1)) 15.4 8.3
Write-off of damaged inventories and biological assets(1)) 2.6 6.3
Other war-related expenses(1)) 2.0 1.0
Total amount recognized in profit or loss 31.8 26.0
(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.
While the Ukrainian businesses and government institutions demonstrated a high
degree of adaptability and resilience in the face of challenges brought by the
full-scale military invasion, the related security and macroeconomic risks
remain high and continue to affect the economic situation in Ukraine. Due to
the unpredictability in the future course of the war and the uncertainty
regarding the timing of its cessation as well as availability of sustainable
international financial support, other geopolitical and macroeconomic factors,
it remains difficult to estimate the scale and direction of possible further
developments, both negative or positive, in the operating environment in
Ukraine at present.
14. Contingencies and contractual commitments
Taxation and legal matters
The Group operates across multiple jurisdictions, with a substantial portion
of its activities concentrated in Ukraine. Ukrainian legislation governing
taxation, currency exchange controls, and customs regulations is subject to
frequent revisions and ongoing updates. Non-compliance with tax laws and
regulations may lead to the imposition of severe penalties and fines, however,
management believes that the Group has complied with all the requirements of
the 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 believes that it
complies with relevant transfer pricing requirements.
As of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, management assessed the Group's
possible exposure to corporate income tax risks at USD 4 million. No provision
was recognized in respect of this possible tax exposure.
As of 30 June 2025, companies within the Group were involved in ongoing
litigation with tax authorities totaling USD 34 million (31 December 2024:
USD 35 million). This includes USD 3 million (31 December 2024: USD 5
million) related to disputes over disallowed VAT refunds and deductible
expenses claimed by the Group. Of the total amount, USD 29 million as at
30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: USD 30 million) pertains to cases where court
hearings have already taken place, and rulings in either the first or second
instance have been issued in favor of the Group. In addition, at 31 December
2024 the Group maintained disputes with tax authorities in the amount USD 2
million, that had not yet been brought before the courts. No such disputes
were outstanding as at 30 June 2025.

Management believes that, based on the Group's historical success in similar
court cases, it is unlikely that a material settlement will result from these
proceedings. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized in the Group's
financial statements.
Contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, companies of the Group entered
into a number of contracts with foreign suppliers to purchase 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 2025, purchase commitments
amounted to USD 66 million (31 December 2024: USD 70 million).
15. 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 receivable, 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 inflows, 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 2025 31 December 2024 30 June 2025 31 December 2024
Financial liabilities
Bank borrowings (Note 10) 794 772 794 774
Senior Notes due in 2026, 2029 (Note 11) 912 909 799 807
The fair value of bank borrowings was estimated by discounting the expected
future cash outflows by a market rate of interest for bank borrowings and 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.
16. Risk management policy
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, 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 managing.

(in millions of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
16. Risk management policy (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to settle all
liabilities as they fall due. The Group's liquidity position is carefully
monitored and managed. The Group has a detailed budgeting and cash forecasting
process to help ensure adequate cash is available to meet its payment
obligations.
The following table details the Group's financial liabilities by their
remaining contractual maturity. The table has been drawn up based on the
undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities using the earliest date the
Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal
cash flows as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. The amounts in the table
may not be equal to the statement of financial position carrying amounts since
the table includes all cash outflows on an undiscounted basis.

provisions of USD 2.7 million and income tax payables of USD 10.1 million (31
December 2024: USD 2.7 million and 8.5 million respectively).
In particular, the Group notes that USD 550 million Bonds mature in April
2026. Management is focused on ensuring their timely servicing as part of the
Group's overall debt management strategy. Further details are provided in Note
2 "Basis of preparation and accounting policies".
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group subsidiaries
undertake various export and import transactions and have certain loans and
borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. In particular, the Ukrainian
operations (with UAH as their functional currency) are primarily exposed to
the foreign currency risk. The Group does not use any derivatives to manage
foreign currency risk exposure. However, Management limits exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations to manage currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency-denominated monetary
assets and liabilities as of
30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024 were as follows:
30 June 2025 31 December 2024
USD EUR USD EUR
Total assets 166 96 215 97
Total liabilities(1)) 1,452 183 1,470 153
Net liabilities 1,286 87 1,255 56
(1) ) Currency-denominated liabilities consist primarily of
bonds issued and bank borrowings.

Currency risk (continued)
The table below illustrates the Group's sensitivity to a change in the
exchange rate of the Ukrainian Hryvnia against the US Dollar and Euro. The
sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency-denominated
monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period-end for possible
changes in foreign currency rates.
Change in foreign currency exchange rates Effect on profit
before tax, gain/(loss)
2025
Increase in USD exchange rate 10% (129)
Increase in EUR exchange rate 10% (9)
Decrease in USD exchange rate 2% 26
Decrease in EUR exchange rate 2% 2
2024
Increase in USD exchange rate 10% (126)
Increase in EUR exchange rate 10% (6)
Decrease in USD exchange rate 2% 25
Decrease in EUR exchange rate 2% 1
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, the Ukrainian Hryvnia
depreciated against the EUR by 10.0% while appreciated against USD by 1.0%
(six-month period ended 30 June 2024: depreciated against the EUR and USD by
2.6% and 6.3% respectively). As a result, during the six-month period ended 30
June 2024, the Group recognized a net foreign exchange gain in the amount of
USD 14 million (six-month period ended 30 June 2024: net foreign exchange loss
in the amount of USD 81 million) in the interim condensed consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
