CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated "In México, we continued observing a normalized supply in the poultry industry and as it is typical for the third quarter, lower prices than in 2Q17, we also continued with good demand levels. In the U.S. industry, we observed solid prices for most of the quarter. In both markets where we participate we observed a price adjustment at the end of the quarter.

During the quarter, we announced the acquisition of "La Perla" a Pet Food company located in the Mexican state of Queretaro and of "Albertville Quality Foods (AQF)" a further processing company located in Alabama USA., We are in the process of integrating both companies into our whole operations and consider that most of the benefits are to come.

For the quarter, we reached an increase in total sales of 12.7% in 3Q17 when compared to 3Q16, and an EBITDA of $1,449.6 million, 17.6% higher that the EBITDA of the same quarter of 2016. For the third quarter, our EBITDA margin was 10.2% and our earnings per basic and diluted share were $1.66.

We continued investing in the growth of our company, as our CAPEX reached $2,937.6 million for the year.

Our financial structure continued strong as we end the quarter with a net cash of $10,787.5 million, which will allow us to continue supporting our growth plans".
