CEO COMMENTS

Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "Positive external conditions presented in past quarters continued into the first quarter of this year; demand for chicken and egg products were strong during the quarter, while supply of these products remained stable.

On the internal side, we continued working on our efficiency and productivity efforts, while taking advantage of projects we implemented for getting closer to our customers.

All that led the Company to post positive results in the first quarter and above those reached in 1Q14.

In particular, it is worthwhile to mention the improvement in results reached by our U.S. operation during this quarter.

Our financial structure continued strengthening as we reached a net cash level of $10,781 million, which will allow us to support our growth plans.

Even though we have posted strong results in the past quarters, we are aware that the poultry industry is a volatile industry; therefore we will remain focused on continual improvements and efficiencies across all our processes, and closely monitor those external factors we cannot control."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
At its 2015 annual shareholders meeting, the Company announced the paying of cash dividends in the amount of $1.5 pesos per share (or $18 pesos per ADR).

Executive Summary
The following financial information is expressed in millions of nominal pesos, except for amounts per share and per ADR, with comparative figures for the same periods of 2014.
