MHP SE

Monthly Operational Update for the period ended 30 June 2022

MHP SE (LSE: MHPC), the parent company of a leading international
agro-industrial group with headquarters in Ukraine, today announces its
monthly operational update for June 2022.

1. POULTRY AND RELATED OPERATIONS (w/o PP)

Since the beginning of the Russian war in Ukraine, the Company has been facing
complex challenges and disruptions, which, primarily, resulted in a decrease
in capacity utilisation of poultry production. Since April, the Company has
been extensively developing alternative routes to resume and continue exports.
As of today, export of all proteins from Ukraine continues to be extremely
challenging and requires 24/7 attention and management.

Notes to Editors:

 

About MHP

MHP is the leading producer of poultry products not only in Ukraine, but also
in the Balkans (Perutnina Ptuj Group).

 

Ukraine: MHP has the greatest market share and 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). Complete vertical integration practically
eliminates MHP's exposure to raw material price fluctuations since its grain
production exceeds internal consumption requirements, allowing the Company to
be an important participant in the international commodity trade.  In
addition to cost efficiency, vertical integration also enables MHP to maintain
strict biosecurity and to control the quality of its inputs and the resulting
quality and consistency of its products all the way 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 own truck fleet to distribute its products, reducing overall
transportation costs and delivery times.

 

MHP also has a leading grain cultivation business growing corn, soya and
sunflower 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 (PP) is a leading poultry and meat-processing
producer in the Balkans, with production sites in four Balkan countries:
Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. PP owns distribution
companies in Austria, Macedonia and Romania and supplies products to fifteen
countries in Europe. PP is vertically integrated across all states of chicken
meat production - feed, hatching eggs production and hatching, breeding,
slaughtering, sausage production and further poultry processing.

 

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