Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO, LVROW), the first
U.S.-listed pure-play agricultural inputs retailer in Latin
America, today announced its financial results for the fiscal
second quarter of 2024, which ended on December 31, 2023.
Ruy Cunha, CEO of Lavoro, commented, “Our
second-quarter results underscore our resilience in the face of
challenging market conditions not seen in our industry for well
over a decade. Our model is intact, as demonstrated by the
performance of our Brazil Ag Retail operations that produced yet
another quarter of strong unit volume growth and market share
gains, which offset the impact of the deflationary environment in
crop protection and fertilizer inputs. Supporting these share gains
is momentum in attracting seasoned technical sales representatives
(RTVs) to the Lavoro organization, which is illustrated by 25%
sequential growth in RTVs to just over 1,040 sales reps in Brazil.
We are in a great position and anticipate the positive contribution
of these new hires to help drive growth next fiscal year.”
Mr. Cunha added, “Second quarter gross margins
experienced sequential improvement, signaling the beginning of a
path to recovery supported by stabilizing local input prices from
the retail channel to farmers, and by the continued improvement in
our average cost of goods sold, as we gradually cycle through our
higher-cost inventory. Moreover, Crop Care’s performance in the
quarter was a stand-out, with double-digit year-over-year growth in
revenue and gross profit in spite of the market headwinds, and
demonstrating yet again the synergies associated with the vertical
integration with Lavoro Ag retail.
“Our market outlook remains consistent with our
late January assessment. We still foresee a 25% decrease in
Brazil's retail inputs market for the 2023/2024 crop year,
concluding in June 2024. Although price competition within the
retail channel has broadly stabilized, disparities persist across
Brazil's various regions, influenced by the ongoing destocking of
excess agrochemical inventories. We are encouraged by the recent
favorable weather conditions, which have contributed to an uptick
in farmer sentiment, evidenced by the strong start to the safrinha
corn planting season—currently at 71%, exceeding the five-year
average of 52%."

FY2Q24 Financial Highlights
- Consolidated revenue for Lavoro in 2Q24 increased by 1% to
$618.7 million, compared to the prior year period. Inputs revenue
expanded 1% y/y to $610.8 million, as continued robust unit volume
growth, contributions from recent M&A, and currency tailwinds,
more than offset the input price deflationary environment.
- Brazil Ag Retail segment revenue grew by 1% to $528.7 million
in 2Q24, reflecting market share gains, unit volume growth, and the
impact from the acquisitions of Referencia and Coram, which
collectively contributed 6% to 2Q24 segment revenue. Latam Ag
Retail segment revenue fell by -2% to $55.8 million in the quarter,
as the increase in fertilizer sales volumes and the favorable
impact of the Colombian Peso’s strength were outweighed by a
decrease in crop protection category revenues. Crop Care revenue
increased 26% y/y to $72.8 million, led by the strong performance
of specialty fertilizers and adjuvants product categories, which
more than offset declines in biologicals.
- Consolidated gross profit decreased by -17% to $103.0 million
in 2Q24, while gross margins contracted by -360 bps y/y to 16.7%.
This reflects primarily lower distribution margins within our
Brazil Ag Retail and Latam Ag Retail segments, higher freight costs
as percentage of sales (an increase of 120 bps), and category
mix-related headwinds in our Crop Care segment (with high margin
biologicals underperforming in the quarter).
- Crucially, the year-over-year trends in consolidated gross
margins saw a notable improvement sequentially, improving from a
decline of -840 bps in the first quarter of 2024 to a decrease of
-360 bps in the second quarter. This improvement stemmed primarily
from the reduction in the average cost of goods sold, as
higher-cost inventory purchased at the past elevated prices is
gradually cycled through and replaced with inventory procured at
current lower prices.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased -48% y/y to $40.1 million in 2Q24,
with Adjusted EBITDA margin contracting by -620 bps to 6.5%,
reflecting the gross margin compression detailed above, along with
a y/y increase in the SG&A (excluding D&A) as a percentage
of sales, rising 300 bps to 11.3%. SG&A (excl. D&A) to
sales increased due primarily to (i) higher personnel costs
associated with newly hired RTVs that have yet to contribute to
sales, and (ii) an increase in the allowance for expected credit
losses.
- Adjustment items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA increased by
$1.5 million to $2.4 million for 2Q24, due primarily to higher
stock-based compensation expense (+0.5 million), and an increase in
related-party consultancy services expenses in 2Q24 (+$0.9
million).
- Adjusted net profit in 2Q24 was $2.6 million, a decline of
-$34.8 million over the prior year quarter, driven mainly by lower
Adjusted EBITDA (-$37.4 million), higher financial costs (-$5.4
million) due to higher interest expense on trade payables,
partially offset by a positive contribution from income tax (+11.0
million).

Segment Results
Brazil Ag Retail
- Segment revenue of $528.7 million
increased by 1% (a decrease of -5% in BRL terms) over the prior
year period, reflecting unit volume growth in crop protection (up
46%), fertilizers (up 63%), specialty products (up 29%), and seeds
(up 3%), which were offset by price deflation and negative product
mix across all categories. Notably, revenue in seeds products
decreased by -11% y/y, negatively impacted by the shift in timing
of farmers purchasing decisions, and a decrease in the mix of
higher technology corn seed varieties due to El Niño. Recently
acquired Referencia and Coram together contributed 6% to 2Q24
Brazil Ag Retail segment revenue.
- Gross margin contracted by -510 bps
y/y to 13.9% in 2Q24, led by the impact of input price deflation
across all product categories. Positively, gross margins saw a
notable sequential improvement in y/y trends relative 1Q24, where
gross margins had contracted by -1,070 bps. The sequential
improvement was most pronounced in crop protection (a reduction of
-260 bps y/y in 2Q24 vs. a reduction of -1,310 bps in 1Q24) and
fertilizers (-280 bps in 2Q24 vs. -1,200 bps in 1Q24), as local
input prices from the retail channel to farmers have stabilized,
and as our average cost of goods sold continues to improve with the
cycling of higher-cost inventory. Gross margins in seeds products
sales declined sequentially (-430 bps y/y in 2Q24 vs. flat in
1Q24), due to the above-mentioned headwinds from mix.
- Adjusted EBITDA experienced a 58%
decrease to $26.7 million in 2Q24, with Adjusted EBITDA margins
reducing by -720 bps to 5.0%, attributable to gross margins
headwinds, in addition to increased SG&A expenses due to a
higher allowance for expected credit losses and elevated personnel
costs stemming from the recent hiring of RTVs which have yet to
impact sales.

Latam Ag Retail
- Segment
revenue was $54.9 million in 2Q24, marking a -2% decrease from the
prior year quarter (a decrease of -8% in BRL terms, and -17% in
local Colombian Peso terms), led primarily by price deflationary
headwinds to fertilizers and crop protection distribution revenue,
and the ongoing impact of the discontinuation of a herbicide from a
supplier’s product lineup. These headwinds to revenue were partly
offset by growth in sales of specialty product, seeds, and
services, as well as the currency tailwind stemming from the
appreciation of the Colombian Peso relative to the US Dollar and
Brazilian Real.
- Segment
gross profit was $9.9 million in 2Q24, a decrease of -14% y/y over
the prior year period, while gross margins declining by -230 bps to
17.8% due primarily to the above-mentioned impact of pricing
deflation to crop protection and fertilizer distribution
margins.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased -34% y/y
to $4.7 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margins compressed by -410 bps
to 8.4% due to the same drivers outlined above.

Crop Care
- Segment
revenue was $72.8 million in 2Q24, marking a 26% increase (19% in
BRL terms) from the previous year, reflecting strong performance in
the specialty fertilizer product category (up 55%), as well as the
contribution of newly acquired manufacturer of adjuvants and
enhancers, Cromo Química, which contributed 5% to Crop Care’s 2Q24
segment revenue.
- Cromo’s
y/y revenue growth exceeded 100% in 2Q24, benefiting from effective
cross-selling with Brazil Ag Retail distribution. These positive
contributors to revenue were partly offset by a -19% decline in
biological products sales, which were adversely impacted by the
shift in timing of farmers purchasing decisions, and by the impact
of El Niño on the safrinha corn crop.
- Segment
gross profit grew 21% y/y to $25.7 million in 2Q24, while gross
margins decreased by -160 bps to 35.3% due to adverse mix effects
from the relative performance of high-margin biological products in
the quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 8% y/y to $16.2
million in 2Q24, while Adjusted EBITDA margins decreased by -380
bps to 22.2% due to the above-mentioned gross margin headwinds,
along with increased investments in R&D and other growth
initiatives.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-IFRS
financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
Margin, Adjusted Net Profit/Loss and Adjusted Net Profit/Loss
Margin. A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as a
numerical measure of historical or future financial performance,
financial position, or cash flow that purports to measure financial
performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so
adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. The Company believes
these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information as they are used by the Company's management to
evaluate the Company's performance, and provide additional
information about trends in our operating performance prior to
considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation,
amortization and taxation on our results, as well as the effects of
certain items or events that vary widely among similar companies,
and therefore may hamper comparability across periods, although
these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS. Management
believes that these measures enhance a reader's understanding of
the operating and financial performance of the Company and
facilitate a better comparison between fiscal periods. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as profit (loss) for the year, adjusted for
finance income (costs), net, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization and excluding the impact of certain revenues, expenses
and costs that we believe are isolated in nature incurred as part
of our expansion, namely: (i) fair value on inventories sold from
acquired companies, (ii) M&A adjustments that in management’s
judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular basis, (iii) listing
and other expenses recognized in connection with the Business
Combination, (iv) share-based compensation expenses, (v) bonuses
paid out to our employees as a result of the closing of the
Business Combination, (vi) expenses paid to Patria in connection
with management consultancy services, (vii) depreciation and
amortization recognize on cost of goods sold and (viii)
losses/gains on the fair value of commodity forward contracts.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of revenue for the period/year. Adjusted Net Profit/Loss
is defined as Net Profit/Loss excluding the impact of certain
revenues, expenses and costs that we believe are isolated in nature
incurred as part of our expansion, namely: (i) fair value on
inventories sold from acquired companies, (ii) M&A adjustments
that in management’s judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular
basis, (iii) listing and other expenses recognized in connection
with the Business Combination, (iv) share-based compensation
expenses, (v) bonuses paid out to our employees as a result of the
closing of the Business Combination, (vi) expenses paid to Patria
in connection with management consultancy services, (vii)
depreciation and amortization recognize on cost of goods sold and
(viii) losses/gains on the fair value of commodity forward
contracts. Adjusted Net Profit/Loss Margin is calculated as
Adjusted Net Profit/Loss as a percentage of revenue for the
period/year.
The Company does not intend for the non-IFRS
financial measures contained in this release to be a substitute for
any IFRS financial information. Readers of this press release
should use these non-IFRS financial measures only in conjunction
with comparable IFRS financial measures. Reconciliations of the
non-IFRS financial measures Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
Margin, Adjusted Net Profit/Loss and Adjusted Net Profit/Loss
Margin, to their most comparable IFRS measures, are provided in the
table below.
