In 2Q 2023 Rusagro's consolidated

revenue before intersegment eliminations amounted to 60,192 million roubles. In comparison with 2Q 2022, the figure decreased by 10% (-6,764million roubles). This was mainly due to a decrease in revenue from the Oil & Fat business as a result of lower realization prices against the backdrop of falling global sunflower and palm oil prices.

In 2Q 2023 Rusagro produced 140 thousand tonnes of crude vegetable oil, which is 23% (-42thousand tonnes) less than in the same quarter of the previous year. The decrease in processed volumes was mainly due to the shutdown of the Balakovo oil extraction plant on May 23 for modernization.

305 thousand tonnes, which is 6% (-18 thousand tonnes) lower than in the same quarter of the previous year.

Growth in bottled oil was driven by expansion of distribution channels in Russia, including local retail chains, and low base in 2Q 2022 due to higher demand in 1Q 2022.

Growth in mayonnaise was driven by the development of HoReCA channels and local retail chains.

In 2Q 2023 Rusagro produced 35 thousand tonnes of sugar, which is 28% (-13thousand tonnes) less than it produced during the same quarter of the previous year.

The volume decline was due to a shift in the period of sugar production from molasses as a result of the extended beet processing season.

In 2Q 2023 compared to the same quarter of the previous year, Rusagro's sugar sales volumes decreased by 11% (-27thousand tonnes) to 233 thousand tonnes. The decrease in sales volumes was influenced by lower production volumes in the 2022/2023 season, mainly due to lower beet sugar content as a result of deteriorating weather conditions: soil overwatering, high temperature fluctuations.

Grain sales volume in 2Q 2023 amounted to 198 thousand tonnes, which is 58% (+72 thousand tonnes) above the level of the same quarter of the previous year. This was mainly due to a 526% (+53 thousand tonnes) increase in sales of corn sold under the 1Q 2023 contract, with the condition of delivery until the end of August. In 2022, the main sales took place in 1Q. The 17% increase in wheat sales was due to a shift in the sales schedule from 1Q to 2Q 2023 as a result of low demand in 1Q due to high carryover stocks on the market.

The shift of oil crops sales to the second quarter was due to a late harvest (postponed to 2023 due to weather conditions).

match the changes calculated with the rounded values.
