CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "In the first quarter of 2014 the Mexican poultry industry observed a good balance between supply and demand. In our US market, after a weak start of the year, conditions improved through the quarter.

Even when our total volumes improved when compared to first quarter 2013, the lower cost in our main raw materials, drove our main product prices down so that net sales posted a decrease of 3.5%. On the other hand, lower raw material prices more than compensated the price reduction; as a result, our operating performance improved with respect to the same quarter of previous year.

In accordance with the new tax regime in Mexico, as of January 1, 2014, our Mexican operation is subject to a higher tax rate, which negatively impacted our net income in the first quarter. However, despite these conditions, we achieved higher earnings per share.

Furthermore, Bachoco maintains a very solid financial position with a negative net debt of $5,665 million."

The Company's 1Q14 net sales totaled $9,643.4 million, $345.3 million or 3.5% below the $9,988.8 million reported in 1Q13. In 1Q14, sales of our U.S. operations represented 19.7% of total sales, compared with 22.7% in 1Q13.

The reduction in sales is mainly attributed to lower prices mainly in chicken and balanced feed, partially offset by higher volume sold of these products.

In 1Q14 the cost of sales totaled $7,854.1 million, $655.7 million or 7.7% lower than $8,509.8 million reported 1Q13; the decrease in cost of sales is mainly attributed to the decline in prices of our main raw material.

Total SG&A expenses in 1Q14 reached $871.4 million, $76.4 million or 9.6% more than the $795.0 million reported 1Q13. This increase is mainly attributed to larger volume sold and higher expenses as we strengthened our operating structure.
