CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "In this second quarter, our company was able to take advantage of the conditions the poultry industry offered; mainly a strong demand, which is a seasonal characteristic of this quarter, as well as stable price of our main raw materials. We observed a balanced supply and demand in our main product lines in both our Mexican and US markets, even when we are observing a growth rate above the historical level of the poultry industry in both countries.

We were able to increase our total sales by 11.6% in the quarter, due mainly to increases in volume in our main product lines, while reaching double-digit profit margins, and above those reached in the same quarter of 2014. We improved our profit margins in both of our operations, in Mexico and in the USA.

In particular, we reached an EBITDA of $2,081.0 million, the highest reached by our company for a quarter.

The Company's net cash reached $12,184.4 million, strengthening our financial condition."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On July 13(th), 2015, the company announced the acquisition of the breeding assets in the state of Georgia, USA, of Morris Hatchery Inc. This operation has a capacity of around one million laying hens that produce hatching eggs.

The Company's 2Q15 net sales totaled $11,837.2 million, $1,228.4 million or 11.6% more than $10,608.8 million reported in 2Q14. The increase is a result of more volume sold in all of our product lines and solid chicken and balanced feed prices during most of the quarter; this was partially offset with lower prices in eggs and pork when compared to 2Q14.

In 2Q15, sales of our U.S. operations represented 22.9% of our total sales compared to 20.2% in 2Q14.

In 2Q15 the cost of sales was $8,914.2 million, $762.6 million or 9.4% higher than $8,151.6 million reported in 2Q14; the increase in the cost of sales is mainly attributed to more volume sold, as our average cost per unit was lower than the average cost per unit in 2Q14, as a result of decreases in main raw material prices and productivity improvements.

Therefore, we were able to post a gross profit of $2,923.1 million and a gross margin of 24.7% in 2Q15; this profit is 19.0% higher than a gross profit of $2,457.2 million and a gross margin of 23.2% in 2Q14.

Total SG&A expenses in 2Q15 were $1,044.5 million, $123.9 million or 13.5% more than the $920.6 million reported in 2Q14. This increase is mainly attributed to higher sales and administrative expenses as our volume sold increased, as well a slight increase in our unit delivery expenses.

In 1H15 the cost of sales totaled $17,636.6 million, $1,630.9 million or 10.2% higher than $16,005.7 million reported 1H14; the increase in the cost of sales is mainly attributed to higher volume as weighted average unit cost of sales showed a small variation as compare with the weighted unit cost of the same period of 2014.

As a result, we reached a gross profit of $5,606.6 million and a gross margin of 24.1% in 1H15, a higher result than $4,246.5 million of gross profit and a margin of 21.0% reached in the same period of 2014.

Total SG&A expenses in 1H15 were $2,052.7 million, $260.8 million or 14.6% more than the $1,792.0 million reported in 1H14. This increase is mainly attributed to the higher volume sold. Total SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales represented 8.8% in 1H15; the same percentage reported in 1H14.

In 1H15 we had other expenses of $8.2 million, compared with other expenses of $41.5 million reported in 1H14.

The operating income in 1H15 was $3,545.6 million, which represents an operating margin of 15.3%, an increase of 46.9% from an operating income of $2,413.1 million and an operating margin of 11.9% in 1H14.

The net financial income in 1H15 was $313.1 million, higher when compared to net financial income of $110.9 million in 1H14, mainly attributed to a higher interest income resulting from the high levels of cash and lower interest expenses.

Total taxes were $1,198.5 million as of June 30, 2015. These taxes include $1,123.2 million of income tax and $75.3 million of deferred income taxes; this figure compares to total taxes of $775.4 million in 1H14; the increase was due to a higher income before taxes.

All the above result in a net income of $2,660.2 million or 11.4% of net margin in the 1H15, which represents $4.43 pesos of earnings per share, while in the 1H14 the net income totaled $1,748.5 million, 8.6% of net margin and $2.91 pesos of net income per share.
