    --  EBITDA margin was 10.8% for 3Q15 and 14.9% in the 9M15.

CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "For Bachoco, this third quarter behaved as, what we can call, a typical third quarter for a year. Which, seasonally, use to be a weak one. The comparison with the 3Q14 is difficult, as last year did not present this behavior.

In general, even when we observed a good level of demand in the Mexican markets during the quarter, we also saw a stronger supply in our main product lines. At the same time, there was a strong supply in our US markets; where leg quarter prices were affected due to weaker exports.

For the quarter, our total sales continue increasing and volume in all of our product lines continued growing in both markets, so, we increased our total sales in 6.8%, and reached a two-digit EBITDA margin.

Our US operation continues delivering positive results while integrating our July's acquisition of the breeding assets in the state of Georgia, USA.

For the 9M15, we increased our total sales by 12.0%, achieving an EBITDA margin of 14.9%, same margin when compared with the equivalent period of 2014.

The Company remained in a healthy financial condition with a net cash of $10,303.7 million, as the cash and equivalents has increased 15.5% since the beginning of the year."
