CELAYA, Mexico, Feb. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., "Bachoco" or "the Company", (NYSE: IBA; BMV: Bachoco) announced today its unaudited results for the fourth quarter ("4Q14") and 2014 year ("2014") results ended December 31, 2014. All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS"), and are presented in nominal million Mexican Pesos ("$").

HIGHLIGHTS- 2014 vs. 2013


    --  Net sales increased 11.9% for the 4Q and 5.2% for the year.
    --  EBITDA margin was 15.0% in the 4Q and 14.9% for 2014 year.
    --  Earnings per basic and diluted share were $1.77 and $6.56 pesos for the
        4Q and for the full year respectively.

CEO COMMENTS

Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "During the fourth quarter, we observed a good level of demand which, combined with a balanced supply for our main product lines in the markets in which we participate and the reduction trend in our main raw materials, allowed us to reach results above the fourth quarter of 2013, in terms of sales and profitability margins.

For the whole year, we posted improvements in our total sales, as well as in our operating margins, compared to previous year. This was the result of external and internal conditions: on one side, corn prices, exchange rate, and balanced demand-supply were stable most of the year; on the other side, as a result of initiatives the Company put in place, we achieved further efficiencies and remained close to our customers.

These positive results further strengthened our financial structure; our net cash totaled more than $9,500 million pesos that will allow us to support the growing programs we have implemented.

Lastly, the Company's shares and ADRs had positive performance in both markets in which we participate: the NYSE and the BMV. We have observed a constant increase in the daily trading of our shares that shows the confidence that investors have placed in our Company."

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 2013.

The cost of sales totaled $8,376.5 million, representing $147.6 million or 1.7% less than $8,524.1 million reported in the same period of 2013; the decrease in the cost of sales, despite the increase in volume sold, is totally attributed to lower cost of main raw materials, as well as higher efficiencies across our production processes.

The Company's gross profit in 4Q14 was $2,522.9 million, with a gross margin of 23.1%; this result is larger than a gross profit of $1,214.3 million and a gross margin of 12.5% reported in 4Q13.

In 2014, the cost of sales totaled $32,520.4 million, 2.0% or $656.2 million below the cost of sales in 2013 which totaled $39,710.7 million; the decline in the cost of sales is totally attributed to lower prices in our main raw materials, as well as productivity improvements.

These numbers guide us to post a gross profit of $9,246.1 million, which represented 22.1% of gross margin in 2014, substantially higher than $6,534.1 million of gross profit and a margin of 16.5% reached in 2013.

Total SG&A expenses in 2014 were $3,775.2 million, and 3,291.0 million in 2013; this represented an increase of $484.2 million or 14.7%. The increase is mainly attributed to higher volume sold and additional expenses incurred in the implementation of projects to further improve the services we provide in our markets, as mentioned in previous quarters. Total SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales represented 9.0% in 2014 and 8.5% in 2013.

In 2014 we had other expenses of $100.3 million, compared with other income of $30.7 million reported in 2013; this is mainly attributed to losses in the sale of several unused assets during the year.

The operating income in 2014 totaled $5,370.7 million, a 12.9% in margin or 64.0% higher than $3,273.8 million of operating income, 8.2% in margin, reported in 2013.

The net financial income in 2014 was $232.2 million higher when compared to net financial income of $118.4 million in 2013, mainly attributed to higher interest income resulting from higher levels of cash and lower interest expenses.

Total taxes in 2014 were $1,663.0 million. These taxes include $1,223.0 million of income tax and $440.0 million of deferred income taxes; this figure compares to total taxes of $1,350.4 million, which includes income taxes of $1,227.4 and deferred income tax of $123.0 million in 2013; the increase is attributed to a higher income and a higher tax rate in 2014 in Mexico.

As a result, our net income in 2014 was $3,939.9 million, a 9.4% net margin, which represents $6.19 pesos of earnings per share, while in 2013 net income totaled $2,041.8 million, a 5.1% net margin, and $3.38 pesos of net income per share.
