CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated, "For the quarter, we observed a poultry industry growing at normalized rates in both Mexico and the U.S. markets. We observed a good balance between supply and demand, resulting in a price recovery when compared to the same quarter of 2015.

On the other hand, high volatility regarding the exchange rate of the Mexican peso during the quarter affected our raw materials cost and consequently our total cost of sales in peso terms.

Even so, our sales and volume of our main product lines, continued growing in both markets, which led us to an increase of 21.9% in total sales for 4Q16 when compare to 4Q15

For 4Q16, we reached an EBITDA of $1,275.2 or 9.0% margin and earnings per basic and diluted shares were $1.63.

Overall, we consider 2016 a good year for the Company, with an increase of 12.5% in total sales, when compared with 2015, and an EBITDA margin of 11.1%.

We continued investing in the growth of our Company, as our CAPEX reached $2,398.8 million for the year.

In addition, the Company remained in a healthy financial condition with a net cash of $11,603.6 million, which will allow us to continue supporting our growing plans."

In 2016, the cost of sales totaled $42,635.1 million, $5,787.6 million or 15.7% higher than $36,847.5 million reported in 2015. This increase is mainly attributed to higher volume sold and higher raw material costs in Mexican peso terms due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso vs the US dollar.

As a result, we reached a gross profit of $9,385.2 million and a gross margin of 18.0% in 2016, compared to $9,381.5 million of gross profit and a margin of 20.3% reached in year 2015.

Total SG&A expenses in 2016 were $4,814.0 million, $490.6 million or 11.3% more than the $4,323.4 million reported in 2015. This increase is mainly attributed to higher volumes sold. Total SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales represented 9.3% in 2016 compared to 9.4% in 2015.

In 2016, we had other income of $261.9 million, compared with other expenses of $4.6 million reported in 2015.

The operating income in 2016 was $4,833.1 million, which represents an operating margin of 9.3%, a 4.4% decrease when compared with the operating income of $5,053.5 million and operating margin of 10.9% in 2015.

The net financial income in 2016 was $783.5 million, an increase when compared to the net financial income of $446.6 million in 2015.

Total taxes were $1,653.6 million as of December 31, 2016. These taxes include $1,370.1 million of income tax and $283.5 million of deferred income taxes. This figure compares to total taxes of $1,680.6 million, which includes income taxes of $1,488.5 and $192.1 million of deferred income taxes in 2015.

All of the above resulted in a net income of $3,963.0 million or 7.6% of net margin for 2016, which represents $6.60 pesos of earnings per share. In 2015, the net income totaled $3,819.5 million, 8.3% of net margin and $6.36 pesos of net income per share.
