Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months ended 30 June 2022

MHP SE (LSE:MHPC), the parent company of a leading international food & agrotech group with headquarters in Ukraine, today announces its unaudited results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2022. Hereinafter, MHP SE and its subsidiaries are referred to as "MHP", "The Company" or "The Group".

WAR IN UKRAINE - UPDATE

Since the last update provided on 19 August 2022, the war situation in Ukraine has stabilized to some extent, although the situation remains highly fluid and the outlook is subject to extraordinary uncertainty.

Although MHP continues to face complex challenges and disruptions in operations, sales and logistics, the Company has now been able to restore poultry production in its Ukrainian facilities to almost 100% of capacity. New, albeit more complex and costly, logistics routes have been established in recent months and export volumes are increasing. We expect to complete the grain harvest on virtually all our land in the second half of the year.

Due to the agreement signed on 22 July by Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Turkey and the United Nations to resume grain exports, agricultural companies are now able to export from Ukraine and more than 100 ships have delivered animal feed, grain and vegetable oils to a number of MENA and EU countries. MHP is planning to use this route to export grain later this year.

As reported previously, the Group has not suffered any material damage to its facilities, infrastructure and produce in Ukraine except for the destruction of a leased storage facility (with loss of around US$ 6 million of produce) in March and suspension of Ukrainian Bacon operations in the Donetsk region which have now been relocated to other locations in Ukraine.

The Group has incurred substantial war-related costs since the Russian invasion on 24 February. For the period ended 30 June 2022 these amounted to almost US$ 50 million, including community support donations, write-off of inventories and biological assets and other war-related expenses. Working with volunteers, the Group has provided humanitarian aid including free supply of around 13,000 tonnes of poultry products to the population of Ukraine since the beginning of the war.

²⁾ pps - percentage points

Chicken meat

The total volume of chicken meat sold to third parties in H1 2022 decreased by 12% to 299,573 tonnes (H1 2021: 338,593 tonnes) mainly as a result of logistical challenges for export sales and lower demand in Ukraine due to the effects of the war.

Poultry export prices in Q2 2022 increased by 56% y/y, and by 31% q/q, mainly driven by product mix optimization of sales as well as by substantial international price increases across all markets (particularly fillet prices in the EU and MENA and small bird prices in the MENA region).

In Q2 2022 poultry prices on the domestic market in USD terms decreased by 12% y/y, and by 10% q/q, mainly driven by lower share in sales of chilled meat as well as product mix structure.

Vegetable oil

In Q2 2022, sunflower oil sales volume amounted to 48,495 tonnes, up 38% y/y. In H1 2022 MHP's sales of sunflower oil decreased by 11% compared to H1 2021 to 81,476 tonnes, mainly driven by changes in delivery terms because of the challenging logistics (since March), but partially offset by an increase in production of sunflower oil in Q2 2022.

Sales of soybean oil amounted to 9,191 tonnes in Q2 2022, 23% lower y/y, and 19,546 tonnes in H1 2022, 15% lower y/y, mainly as a result of soyabean cake being partly replaced by sunflower cake in the fodder recipe (mainly in Q2 2022) and challenges associated with export logistics because of the war in Ukraine.

¹⁾ pps - percentage points

In H1 2022, revenue increased by 14% y/y as a result of price increases on export markets which were offset by lower sales volumes of meat and vegetable oil. An increase of revenue by 13% q/q was primary attributable to a substantial increase in the sales volume of vegetable oil due to the effects of the war and change in the fodder recipe.

IAS 41 standard gain in Q2 2022 amounted to US$ 9 million mainly as a result of an increase in price and quantity of chicken meat, which was offset by an increase in poultry production costs.

Gross profit in H1 2022 increased by 3% y/y to US$ 148 million. The increase was mainly driven by unusually low results in Q1 2021 due to high poultry production costs and the adverse impact of avian influenza in Ukraine during that period. The decrease in total poultry sales volume was offset by increases in prices.

In H1 2022, adjusted EBITDA decreased by 29%, mainly as a result of war-related expenses (including donations, damages and asset write-offs).

Grain growing operations

Winter crops (wheat, rapeseeds and other) harvesting has been completed on around 69,700 ha of land:

- rapeseeds - around 27,500 ha with around 3.8 t/ha yield;

- wheat - around 40,700 ha with around 5.5 t/ha yield.

Spring crops are in good conditions. Weather conditions are also relatively good, although there are some regions in Ukraine with extreme weather conditions, where it is hot and very dry.

In 2022, MHP is planning to harvest around 335,000 ha of land.

Financial result and trends

(in mln. US unless indicated otherwise)	H1 2022	H1 2021	% change

Revenue	53	12	342%
IAS 41 standard loss	(113)	102	-211%

War-related expenses	(1)	0	100%

Adjusted EBITDA	48	171	-72%
Adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16)	34	161	-79%

Grain growing segment's revenue in H1 2022 amounted to US$ 53 million compared to US$ 12 million in H1 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the higher volume of crops in stock designated for sale as of 31 December 2021, compared to stock for sale as of 31 December 2020, mainly as a result of higher yields in 2021.

IAS 41 standard loss in H1 2022 amounted to US$ 113 million compared to a gain of US$ 102 million in H1 2021. The loss represents the net change in the effect of revaluation of agricultural produce (sunflower, corn, wheat and soya) as well as a lower valuation of crops in fields due to lower prices.

Meat processing and other agricultural operations segment

Meat processing products	Q2 2022	Q2 2021	% change y/y	Q1 2022	% change q/q	H1 2022	H1 2021	% change

Price per 1 kg net VAT, UAH	88.34	80.72	9%	87.65	1%	87.84	78.29	12%

Sales volume of meat processing products decreased by 48% y/y to 8,304 tonnes in H1 2022 driven by war-related challenges that resulted in temporary suspension of production facilities of the "Ukrainian Bacon" in the Donetsk region and subsequent partial redeployment of its operations to Central Ukraine. The average price increased by 12% y/y to UAH 87.84 per kg in H1 2022, mainly in line with the poultry price increase.

Convenience food	Q2 2022	Q2 2021	% change y/y	Q1 2022	% change q/q	H1 2022	H1 2021	% change

Price per 1 kg net VAT, UAH	58.94	50.91	16%	53.55	10%	56.04	47.11	19%

Sales volumes of convenience food in H1 2022 decreased by 14% to 7,410 tonnes, mainly driven by significant disruptions in HoReCa (both KFC and McDonalds had to cease its operations in Ukraine because of the war). The average price in H1 2022 increased by 19% to UAH 56.04 per kg (excluding VAT).

The segment's revenue in H1 2022 decreased by 19% to US$ 27 million. Adjusted EBITDA in H1 2022 was nil compared to US$ 10 million in H1 2021 mainly due to the effects of the war and significant disruptions in demand for the HoReCa segment.

In Q2 2022, poultry sales of the European operating segment remained stable y/y at 19,619 tonnes, while increasing by 11% compared with Q1. This was driven by increased production of chicken meat following expansion of facilities in Croatia and Serbia. Average price increased by 33% y/y in Q2 2022 to EUR 3.36 (Q2 2021: EUR 2.53).

European operating segment's revenue in H1 2022 increased by 17% to US$ 224 million (H1 2021: US$ 191 million), mainly as a result of the increase in poultry sales volume and price.

Adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) amounted to US$ 36 million for H1 2022 compared with US$ 32 million for H1 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin (net of IFRS 16) remains almost on the same level at 16%.

Use of funds in working capital in H1 2022 was mostly related to investments in crops in the fields to be harvested as well as an increase in trade accounts receivable.

The differences between changes in working capital in H1 2022 and Q2 2022 compared to H1 2021 and Q2 2021 respectively were mainly attributable to:

· An increase in trade accounts receivable for sunflower oil and poultry meat due to longer settlement periods as a result of increased delivery periods;

· An increase of VAT receivables balances during both periods of 2022;

· A fall in trade accounts payable for plant protection products and seeds and an increase in advances made for fuel to be used in the forthcoming harvesting and sowing campaigns;

· Higher amounts of chicken meat and grains in agriculture produce as at the end of H1 2022 designated for sale and internal consumption respectively;

· An increase in investments in biological assets during the crop sowing campaign, due to higher cost per ha comparing to previous year.

In H1 2022 total CAPEX amounted to US$ 63 million mainly related to modernization projects, new products development and the maintenance and improvement of Perutnina Ptuj production facilities.

As of 30 June 2022, the share of long-term debt in the total outstanding debt remained unchanged at 99%. The weighted average interest rate is unchanged at around 7%.

As of 30 June 2022, MHP's cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$ 222 million. Net debt increased to US$ 1,289 million, compared to US$ 1,230 million as at 31 December 2021 but was virtually unchanged compared to US$ 1,291 as at 30 June 2021.

The Net Debt / LTM adjusted EBITDA (net of IFRS 16) ratio was 2.75 as of 30 June 2022, lower than the limit of 3.0 defined in the Eurobond agreement.

As a hedge for currency risks, revenues from the exports of grain, sunflower and soybean oil, sunflower husks, and chicken meat, which are denominated in US Dollars and Euros, are more than sufficient to cover debt service expenses. Export revenue for H1 2022 amounted to US$ 640 million or 56% of total revenue (US$ 502 million or 51% of total sales in H1 2021).

Outlook

Although the situation in Ukraine will remain fluid and highly uncertain while the war is ongoing, we expect the Group's Ukrainian operations and exports to continue to return gradually towards normal levels of activity. Barring unexpected developments, results in the second half of the year should therefore be influenced primarily by customary market factors.

We expect some further downward correction in global poultry prices in the coming months, although these may be influenced by varying market factors in different regions, such as avian-influenza related supply constraints in the EU but possible excess supply to some Middle East markets. While MHP's vertical supply chain has protected it to some extent from global inflationary pressures, increased logistics costs are expected to continue into 2023.

International grain prices are likely to remain high at least into 2023, reflecting ongoing global supply constraints due to climate change effects (drought and high temperatures) in China, the EU and mid-West USA. We expect prices for grains in Ukraine at lower levels compared to international prices due to the ongoing effects of war.

Following the strong support demonstrated in March 2022 by holders of our Eurobonds and our bankers, the Group is funded to maintain operations and business continuity and expects to pay its forthcoming semiannual bond coupons in full and on time. Taking into account the uncertainties of the war, it should be noted that any potential further actions by the National Bank of Ukraine could affect MHP's future bond coupon payments.

Notes to Editors:

About MHP

MHP SE is the parent company of a leading international food & agrotech group with headquarters in Ukraine and also in the Balkans (Perutnina Ptuj Group).

Ukraine: MHP has the greatest market share (over 30% of poultry consumption) and highest brand recognition for its products. MHP owns and operates each of the key stages of chicken production processes, from feed grains and fodder production to egg hatching and grow out to processing, marketing, distribution and sales (including through MHP's franchise outlets). Vertical integration reduces MHP's dependence on suppliers and its exposure to increases in raw material prices. In addition to cost efficiency, vertical integration also allows MHP to maintain strict biosecurity and to control the quality of its inputs and the resulting quality and consistency of its products through to the point of sale. To support its sales, MHP maintains a distribution network consisting of 9 distribution and logistical centers, within major Ukrainian cities. MHP uses its trucks for the distribution of its products, which Management believes reduces overall transportation costs and delivery times.

MHP also has a leading grain cultivation business growing corn to support the vertical integration of its chicken production and increasingly other grains, such as wheat and rape, for sale to third parties. MHP leases agricultural land located primarily in the highly fertile black soil regions of Ukraine.

The Balkans: Perutnina Ptuj is a leading poultry and meat-processing producer in the Balkans, has production assets in four Balkan countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina; owns distribution companies in Austria, Macedonia and Romania and supply products to 15 countries in Europe. Perutnina Ptuj is a vertically integrated company across all states of chicken meat production - feed, hatching eggs production and hatching, breeding, slaughtering, sausages and further poultry processing production.

MHP trades on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MHPC.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Key financial highlights

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 consolidated revenue increased by 16% to USD 1,148,741 thousand, compared to USD 988,575 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. Export sales for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 constituted 56% of total revenue at USD 640,137 thousand, compared to USD 501,564 thousand, and 51% of total revenue for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in export prices partly offset by a fall in the volume of chicken meat sold, with export volumes adversely effected by difficult and disrupted logistics caused by the War from 24 February 2022.

Gross profit decreased by 33% to USD 240,775 thousand for the six-month period ended
30 June 2022 compared to USD 358,085 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. The decrease was driven mainly by lower gross profit of the grain growing segment due to higher costs of production and lower grain prices, which resulted in a lower valuation of biological assets.

Operating profit decreased by 70% to USD 75,708 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 compared to USD 255,081 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, mainly as a result of the reduction in gross profit and a significant increase in write-offs of inventories and biological assets, impairment of property, plant and equipment and other war-related expenses such as donations to Ukrainian communities affected by the Russian invasion (Note 14).

Loss from continuing operations for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to USD 88,519 thousand, compared to profit of USD 232,306 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021. This was mainly due to the lower operating profit as well as depreciation of the Ukrainian Hryvnia against the US Dollar and Euro, which resulted in foreign exchange loss of USD 92,192 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 compared to gain of USD 50,503 thousand for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021.

Having regard to the activities of the Group, management believes that the above measures are frequently used by investors, analysts and stakeholders to evaluate the efficiency of the Group's operations. For further information on the above measures, please refer to page 7 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.

Dividends

In view of the uncertainties created by the Russian invasion, the Directors have decided not to declare a final dividend for the 2021 financial year. No interim dividend has been declared for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.

At the annual general meeting held on 28 April 2021, the Shareholders of MHP SE approved payment of an annual dividend from profits of 2020 of USD 0.2803 per share, equivalent to USD 30,000 thousand. As at 30 June 2021 dividends were fully paid to shareholders.

Risks and uncertainties

Russian invasion

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces began a military invasion of Ukraine resulting in a full-scale war across the Ukrainian State (the "War"). Since that time, focused on the continuity and sustainability of its business and the preservation of value for all stakeholders, the Group has concentrated on two key priorities: the safety of its employees and the food security Ukraine by prioritizing a continuous supply of food to the population.

As a result of the War, MHP has experienced a number of significant disruptions and operational issues within its business, which are described in detail in Note 2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies and Note 14 Operating environment.

Management believes that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, due to the currently unpredictable effects of the ongoing War on the significant assumptions underlying management forecasts, Management has concluded that a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, on its ability to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Risks and uncertainties (continued)

Other risks and uncertainties

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties, which could have a material impact on the Group's performance over the remaining six months of the financial year and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Apart from the War, the directors do not consider that the principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the publication of the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2021. A detailed explanation of the risks, and how the Group seeks to mitigate the risks, can be found on pages 156 to 159 of the annual report which is available at mhp.com.cy.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the members of MHP SE

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of MHP SE (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") on pages 7 to 35, which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which indicates that since 24 February 2022 the Group's operations are negatively affected by the ongoing military invasion of Ukraine, with the magnitude of further developments or the timing of their cessation being uncertain. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Notes 2 and 14 indicate the existence of a material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been condensed or omitted. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of the Group management, necessary to fairly state the results of interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The 31 December 2021 statement of financial position was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113.

Going concern

As a result of the Russian invasion, the Group has experienced a number of significant disruptions and operational issues within its business. The Group has analyzed the observable impact of the War on its business as described below, but not limited to:

· the Group's poultry production facilities have not suffered any physical damage;

· certain inventories and biological assets were damaged and written-off. Moreover, substantial amount of assets was provided as humanitarian aid to the population of Ukraine; for details please refer to Note 14 Operating environment;

· MHP continues commercial poultry sales in Ukraine almost at the pre-War level, despite domestic deliveries in some regions having been and continuing to be significantly disrupted due to active hostilities;

· export sales reduced significantly due to closure of all Ukrainian seaports. Only certain roads and railways are now available for export;

· due to lower sales, MHP has slightly decreased poultry production comparing to pre-war level, but as at 30 June 2022 has already returned to normal capacity utilization;

· Operations of "Ukrainian Bacon" (a meat-processing operation with 34,000 tonnes annual capacity located in the Donetsk region) were temporarily suspended due to continuing military attacks and further escalation of the situation in the Donetsk region;

· the Group's European operations at Perutnina Ptuj have not been affected in any way by events in Ukraine as they are fully independent and self-sufficient from an operational and supply chain perspective, and continue to produce at full capacity;

· part of the Group's existing undrawn financing facilities in amount of USD 38 million are not available due to liquidity constraints in the Ukrainian banking system.

In response to these matters, the Group has taken the following actions:

· optimized utilization of production facilities to meet domestic demand and part of export orders; the Group is maintaining the level of inventories necessary to allow it to return to normal production capacity as soon as practically possible;

· delivering exports via alternative routes, including by road and rail, although this is problematic due to logistical issues caused by infrastructure damage and low capacity of these routes;

· The Group has asked its employees (over 1,900 people) of "Ukrainian Bacon" and their families to move to safer regions of Ukraine. Some employees were redeployed to other Group production facilities. Production has been partly redeployed on the production sites in central Ukraine. Full commissioning of all production will require additional time and resources;

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)

Going concern (continued)

· the harvesting campaign has already started, and the Group has already harvested 20% of planned 345 thousand hectares of its Ukrainian landbank (spring and winter crops) in 2022. The Group has sufficient seeds, fertilizers, fuel, pesticides and other inputs required for the forthcoming sowing season, as well as the necessary vehicles, agricultural machinery and human resources;

· selling, general and administrative and other operating expenses, as well as CAPEX, have been reduced to the minimum required to meet the primary needs of the Group's core business;

· to preserve cash for operational priorities, on 30 March 2022 the Group received consent from holders of its Eurobonds to postpone the semi-annual interest payments due in Spring 2022 on each of its 2024, 2026 and 2029 Notes for a period up to 270 days, for details refer to Note 12;

· to comply with consent solicitation restrictions, the Group has agreed general postponement of debt servicing under the loan agreements with the bank lenders, where the payments were initially scheduled during the 270-days support period as mentioned above. As at 30 June 2022, Management already signed legally binding agreements for relevant bank loans with the total amount of USD 106 million, where principal payments were rescheduled to February 2023 and other bank borrowings with the amount of US$ 30 million were prolonged on monthly basis within term of Loan facilities (Note 11);

· the Directors have decided not to declare a final dividend for the 2021 financial year and interim dividends for six-month period ended 30 June 2022.

Management have prepared adjusted financial forecasts, including cash flow projections, for the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, taking into consideration most likely and possible downside scenarios for the ongoing business impacts of the War.

These forecasts were based on the following key assumptions:

· the impact of the War on business will continue for the next 12 months;

· further development of War and a military invasion of Ukraine will not severely affect the Group's assets and will enable the Group to have 85% utilization of poultry production facilities to satisfy domestic consumption;

· all of the Group's assets remain safe and in good condition;

· remaining logistic routes (rail and road) will continue to be available;

· MHP will be able to procure sufficient levels of vitamins and minerals for production of feed as well as the required volume of plant protection materials, fuel and other inputs for grain growing;

· The Group will be able to run the sowing and harvesting campaign on its entire landbank.

These forecasts indicate that, the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to apply the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, due to the currently unpredictable effects of the ongoing War on the significant assumptions underlying management forecasts, Management concludes that a material uncertainty exists, which may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, the Group may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2022. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Functional and presentation currencies

The functional currency of Ukrainian companies of the Group is the Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH"); the functional currency of the Cyprus and Luxembourg companies of the Group is the US Dollar ("USD"); the functional currency of the European companies of the Group is the Euro ("EUR"); the functional currency of the United Arab Emirates companies is the Dirham ("AED"); the functional currency of the UK companies is the British Pound ("GBP"). Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities concerned are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. Such transactions are initially recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses arising on exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("USD"), which is the Group's presentation currency.

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)

Functional and presentation currencies (continued)

The results and financial position of the Group are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures:

· Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate as of the reporting date of that statement of financial position;

· Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;

· The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss;

· All equity items, except for the revaluation reserve, are translated at the historical exchange rate. The revaluation reserve is translated at the closing rate as of the date of the statement of financial position.

For practical reasons, the Group translates items of income and expenses for each period presented in the financial statements using the quarterly average exchange rates, if such translations reasonably approximate the results translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

The following exchange rates were used:

Currency	Closing rate as of 30 June 2022	Average for six months ended 30 June 2022	Average for three months ended 30 June 2022	Closing rate as of 31 December 2021	Average for six months ended 30 June 2021	Average for three months ended 30 June 2021
UAH/USD	29.2549	28.9066	29.2549	27.2782	27.7792	27.5910
UAH/EUR	30.7776	31.7356	31.1984	30.9226	33.4936	33.2332
USD/EUR	1.0520	1.0979	1.0664	1.1336	1.2057	1.2045

Significant accounting policies

Seasonality of operations

Poultry and related operations, European operating segment and Meat processing and other agricultural operations are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.

Grain growing segment, due to seasonality and implications of IAS 41, in the first half of the year mainly reflects sales of carried forward agricultural produce and the effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year it reflects sales of crops and the effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year. Also, grain growing segment has seasonal requirements for working capital increase from November to May, due to the sowing campaign.

Change in income tax status of certain Group's subsidiaries

Starting from 1 January 2022, the change in tax status of poultry producers has become effective as the respective amendments to the Ukrainian Tax Code came into force. As a result, starting from 1 January 2022, profits of the agricultural producers engaged in rearing chickens, chicken meat and eggs production, are subjected to regular 18% income tax. Until 31 December 2021, profits of the chicken and egg producers were non-taxable as these entities had exempt status for corporate income tax purpose and were subject to the fixed agricultural tax, similar to other agribusinesses.

Notes to the INTERIM CONDENSED Consolidated financial statements

for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)

Change in income tax status of certain Group's subsidiaries (continued)

Management has applied significant judgment to consider that the new tax law effected a change in tax status for the Group`s subsidiaries rather than a change in tax law or tax rates, and given that there is no specific guidance in IAS 12 Income tax for when to account for a change in tax status, significant judgment was applied in considering the timing of deferred tax recognition. As the above has caused a change to the tax status, for certain subsidiaries of the Group, from non-tax payer to tax payer by becoming income taxpayers from 1 January 2022, the Group has recognized deferred tax liabilities in the amount of USD 81,317 thousand as of this date. These deferred tax liabilities of the Group`s poultry farms arise on temporary tax differences from property, plant and equipment measured using the revaluation model. Accordingly, the resulting deferred tax liability at 1 January 2022 were recognized through other comprehensive income and presented in a separate line as Deferred tax charged directly to revaluation reserve.

3. Changes in the group structure

Discontinued operation

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2021, the Group disposed of the assets of its subsidiary Dobropilskyi GPP PrJSC, which was located in Ukraine and carried out grain storage operations, and was previously presented within Poultry and Related Operations Segment. The net assets as of the date of disposal amounted to USD 620 thousand. Before sale the property plant and equipment included in the net assets disposed were impaired by USD 4,105 thousand. Impairment was recognized as a decrease in revaluation reserve related to those property, plant and equipment. The total cash consideration amounted to USD 671 thousand, which was received during this reporting period.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless otherwise mentioned.

Acquisitions

On 1 June 2021, the Group acquired a 51% share in the company Lubnym`yaso LLC, a Ukrainian meat production plant, whose main economic activity is the production and sale of beef meat under the trade-mark Scott Smeat. As of the date of acquisition, the net assets of the acquired meat production plant amounted to USD 1,800 thousand. Purchase consideration of the acquired share amounted to USD 1,840 thousand and was paid in cash. Goodwill in the amount of USD 921 thousand is attributable to the expectation that this acquisition will support strategic transformation to a culinary company through launch of additional products.

for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

4. Segment information

The Group's business is managed on a worldwide basis, but operates manufacturing facilities and sales offices primarily in Ukraine and Europe.

Reportable segments are presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

Segment information is analyzed on the basis of the types of goods supplied by the Group's operating divisions. The Group's reportable segments under IFRS 8 are as follows:

Poultry and related operations segment:	• sales of chicken meat • sales of vegetable oil and related products • culinary products and other poultry related sales
Grain growing operations segment:	• sales of grain
Meat processing and other agricultural operations segment:	• sales of meat processing products and other meat • other agricultural operations (milk, feed grains and other)
European operating segment:	• sales of meat processing and chicken meat products in Southeast Europe

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies described in Note 2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies. Sales between segments are carried out at market prices. The segment result represents operating profit under IFRS before unallocated corporate expenses and loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment. Unallocated corporate expenses include management remuneration, representative expenses, and expenses incurred in respect of the maintenance of office premises. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

European Operating Segment primarily includes sales of chicken meat and meat processing products, produced in the facilities of Perutnina Ptuj. However, the CODM manages this as a single segment, on the basis that each of research, development, manufacture, distribution and selling of chicken meat and meat processing products requires single marketing strategies, centralized budgeting process and centralized management of production operations.

Loans and finance aid receivable

On 21 January 2020, the Board approved a loan facility of up to USD 80,000 thousand to the company's principal shareholder, WTI Trading Limited ("WTI") to meet WTI's general liquidity requirements and other corporate purposes for a maximum of three years. As of 31 December 2021, all loans made under this facility had been fully repaid to the Group by WTI.

The Group's Directors believe that the loans were issued at arm's length terms and for fair market value, that they were in the best interests and for the commercial benefit of the Group and did not violate the terms of the Senior Notes (Note 12).

For other loans and finance aid receivable, credit risk increased to the point where it is considered credit impaired. The expected credit loss for such loans amounted to USD 2,350 thousand and USD 2,482 thousand as of 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2021 respectively.

Compensation of key management personnel

Compensation of key management personnel consists of contractual salary and performance bonuses.

14. Operating environment

On 24 February 2022, Russian forces commenced a military invasion of Ukraine resulting in a full-scale war across the Ukrainian State. The ongoing military attack has led, and continues to lead, to significant casualties, dislocation of the population, damage to infrastructure and disruption to economic activity in Ukraine. Sea ports and airports are closed and have been damaged, and many roads and bridges have been damaged or destroyed, further crippling transportation and logistics. As a result, Ukraine's GDP plunged in March, falling by 15.1% in annual terms for Q1 as a whole, according to the flash estimate of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine (SSSU). Economic activity started to recover in April, and businesses and households have gradually adapted to the new conditions. This was also due to the liberation of northern regions and a decrease in the number of regions affected by active hostilities. According to The National Bank of Ukraine's most recent forecast, real GDP is expected to fall by nearly 33% for the whole of 2022, but the outlook could worsen sharply if the conflict lasts longer.

The War caused a disruption of supply chains, a decrease in supply of some goods, higher business costs, physical destruction of production facilities and infrastructure, and temporary occupation of some territories. Persistently high energy prices and record-high inflation in partner countries also fueled price pressures in Ukraine. Inflation expectations of businesses and households increased markedly. This was reflected in deteriorated maturity structure of bank deposits and higher spending on some durable goods, primarily imported goods. As a result, inflation has been growing rapidly over recent months, reaching 21.5% in June.

The economic consequences are already very serious, the situation remains highly fluid and the outlook is subject to extraordinary uncertainty

The Government has implemented appropriate emergency measures to stabilize markets and the economy, but the country faces large fiscal and external financing gaps. Ukrainian authorities have continued to service their external debt obligations and the country's payment system remains operational, with banks open and mostly liquid. Most Ukrainian companies are still paying taxes.

International organizations (IMF, EBRD, EU, World Bank), along with individual countries and charities, are providing Ukraine with financing, donations and material support. In total, international support is expected to reach nearly USD 27 billion.

After several months of retaining the discount rate unchanged at 10%, the National Bank of Ukraine ('NBU') decided to increase it to 25% from June 2022. The exchange rate remained fixed at UAH 29.25 to the US Dollar until 21 July, when it was increased to 36.57 by the NBU. The NBU has said that, once the economy and financial system return to normal operation, it will revert to the traditional format of inflation targeting with a floating exchange rate.

The Government has introduced export licensing of key foodstuffs including wheat, corn, poultry meat, and sunflower oil.

14. Operating environment (continued)

Since 24 February 2022, the Group has suffered significant losses as a result of the continuous war in Ukraine, caused by full-scale Russian invasion. The Group considers the following expenses incurred during the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 to be directly related to the war:

	2022

Loss on impairment of property, plant and equipment	11,114
Community support donations¹⁾	16,674
Write-off of inventories and biological assets¹⁾	9,815
Salary to mobilized employees²⁾	5,043
Expected credit losses of trade accounts receivable¹⁾	4,873
Other war-related expenses¹⁾	1,952
Total amount recognized in profit or loss	49,471
Decrease in revaluation reserve	9,489
	58,960

¹⁾ These expenses are presented within other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

²⁾ These expenses are presented within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

The Group, working with volunteers, has been providing humanitarian aid (mainly through food supply) to the population of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, despite logistical challenges. Since the invasion began, MHP has provided over 12,000 tonnes of poultry products pro bono.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments

Taxation and legal matters

Ukrainian tax authorities are increasingly directing their attention to the business community. The local and national tax environment is constantly changing and subject to inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement. Non-compliance with Ukrainian laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of severe penalties and fines. Future tax examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies' tax filings. Such assessments could include taxes, penalties and fines, and these amounts could be material. While the Group believes it has complied with local tax legislation, new significant changes to the tax legislation may be introduced in the near future. Management believes that the Group has been in compliance with all requirements of effective tax legislation.

The Group exports vegetable oil, chicken meat and related products, and performs intercompany transactions which may potentially be in the scope of the Ukrainian transfer pricing ("TP") regulations. The Group submitted the controlled transaction report for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 within the required deadlines.

As of 30 June 2022, the Group's management assessed its possible exposure to tax risks to be a total amount of USD 5,569 thousand related to corporate income tax (31 December 2021: USD 5,535 thousand). No provision was recognised relating to such possible tax exposure.

As of 30 June 2022, companies of the Group were engaged in ongoing litigation with tax authorities for the amount of USD 54,793 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 73,147 thousand), including USD 43,574 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 59,670 thousand) of litigations with the tax authorities related to disallowance of certain amounts of VAT refunds and deductible expenses claimed by the Group. Out of this amount, USD 31,906 thousand as of 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: USD 48,912 thousand) relates to cases where court hearings have taken place and where the court in either the first or second instance has already ruled in favor of the Group. Manage-ment believes that, based on the past history of court resolutions of similar lawsuits by the Group, it is unlikely that a significant settlement will arise out of such lawsuits and, therefore, no respective provision is required in the Group's financial statements as of the reporting date. In addition, the Group maintains disputes with tax authorities in the amount USD 253 thousand, which had not been brought to Court as of 30 June 2022.

15. Contingencies and contractual commitments (continued)

Contractual commitments on purchase of property, plant and equipment

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2022, the companies of the Group entered into a number of contracts with foreign suppliers for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the development of agricultural operations. As of 30 June 2022, purchase commitments on such contracts were primarily related to modernization projects, development of new products and the maintenance and improvement of Perutnina Ptuj production facilities and amounted to USD 37,903 thousand (31 December 2021: USD 30,952 thousand).

16. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value disclosures in respect of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" and IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement". Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group's financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.

The fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade accounts receivables, other current assets and trade accounts payable due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Set out below is the comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all the Group's financial instruments, excluding those discussed above, that are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position:

	Carrying amount		Fair value
	30 June 2022	31 December 2021	30 June 2022	31 December 2021

Financial liabilities

Bank borrowings (Note 11)	244,750	225,485	244,500	225,574
Senior Notes due in 2024, 2026, 2029 (Note 12)	1,450,950	1,397,577	720,059	1,389,024

The carrying amount of Bank borrowings and Senior Notes issued includes interest payable at each of the respective dates.

The fair value of bank borrowings was estimated by discounting the expected future cash outflows by a market rate of interest for bank borrowings of 1.8% (31 December 2021: 1.8%), and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of Senior Notes was estimated based on market quotations and is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In determining fair value of financial instruments, the impact of potential climate-related matters, including legislation, climate change, and company climate objectives which may affect the fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities has been considered. At present, the impact of climate-related matters is not material to the Group's financial statements.

This sensitivity range represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for possible change in foreign currency rates.

	Change in foreign currency exchange rates	Effect on profit before tax
2022

Increase in USD exchange rate	40%	(548,975)
Increase in EUR exchange rate	40%	(6,218)

Decrease in USD exchange rate	10%	137,244
Decrease in EUR exchange rate	10%	1,555

2021

Increase in USD exchange rate	15%	(205,968)
Increase in EUR exchange rate	15%	(77)

Decrease in USD exchange rate	15%	205,968
Decrease in EUR exchange rate	15%	77

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2022, the Ukrainian Hryvnia appreciated against the EUR by 0.5% and depreciated against the USD by 6.8% (six-month period ended 30 June 2021: appreciated against the EUR and USD by 7.5% and 4.0 % respectively). As a result, during the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 the Group recognized a net foreign exchange loss in the amount of USD 92,192 thousand (six-month period ended 30 June 2021: foreign exchange gain in the amount of USD 50,503 thousand) in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

18. Dividends

19. Subsequent events

The situation in Ukraine continues to be severe as a result of the Russian Federation's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.

Grain export agreement

After months of Russia's blockade of Ukrainian sea ports, the "Grain agreement" was signed by Ukraine, UN, Turkey and Russia on 22 July 2022, that will allow the movement of cargo ships carrying grain in the Black Sea. The document spells out a complex regime that establishes safe channels through the Black Sea and inspections in Turkey. There is to be no large-scale demining of Ukraine's ports, but Ukrainian pilots will guide commercial vessels from the ports. According to current forecasts, this agreement will allow export of more than 3 million tonnes of grain monthly.

Condition of assets

As of 13 September 2022, the Group's poultry production facilities have not suffered any damage.

The Group has already finished harvesting of winter crops, while harvesting of spring crops is in progress on the entire territory of its landbank.
