(the “Company”) (SZSE: 000553), today reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2024 that ended June 30, 2024. Steve Hawkins, President and CEO of ADAMA, said, “While the crop protection market remains challenging, we are focused on our transformation plan aimed at improving the quality of our business and strengthening our position in the fast-growing Value Innovation customer segment. We continue to launch a wide array of advanced, differentiated products with strong ROI for farmers in our largest and most important markets. The agriculture industry is cyclical in nature and ADAMA is taking the necessary steps to maximize our ability to capture opportunities when the market turns around. We believe that our value innovation portfolio is exactly the right fit for the large segment of growers who are looking for innovation but will be pressured by declining commodity prices and seeking cost effective solutions.
“Our transformation plan is already showing initial positive results with higher EBITDA achieved in the second quarter, as well as an improvement in the gross and EBITDA margins in both the second quarter and the first half of 2024. This improvement was driven by efficient inventory management, better product sales mix as well as a steady reduction in operating expenses. Steps taken in working capital and CAPEX management have brought a significant improvement in cashflow in the first half of 2024. “We are still in the first phase of our transformation in ADAMA and as the market eventually turns around, we expect to see significant acceleration of the plan’s impact on our financial results.”

* **Adjusted Gross Profit:** This is a measure of profitability that excludes certain expenses and adjustments to the reported gross profit. It’s a way to get a clearer picture of the company’s core operating performance.
Operating expenses reported in the second quarter of 2024 were $244 million (23.4% of sales), compared to $213 million (17.3% of sales) in the same quarter last year and reached $449 million (21.4% of sales) in the half year period compared to $431 million (17.3% of sales) last year.

8% of total sales) in Q2 2017. This decrease in operating expenses is attributed to several factors, including:
The company’s second quarter results showed a significant improvement in operating income. This improvement was driven by several factors, including a strong sales performance, cost-cutting measures, and a favorable market environment. **Detailed Analysis:**
The company’s second quarter operating income reached $52 million, representing a 5.0% margin on sales.
Adjusted financial expenses amounted to $70 million in the second quarter, compared to $96 million in the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to $139 million in the half year period compared to $177 million last year. The lower financial expenses were mainly due to lower hedging costs on exchange rates, the net effect of lower Israeli CPI on the ILS-denominated, CPI-linked bonds? (in the half year period) and steps taken by the Company’s management to optimize the Company’s financing structure. These steps included taking advantage of the high interest rate environment to increase interest received from weekly bank deposits designated to support working capital, as well as improving financing terms and leveraged group funding possibilities by taking long-term RMB denominated loans at attractive rates, which minimized the increase in bank interest expenses paid.
Adjusted taxes on income in the second quarter amounted to tax expenses of $43 million, compared to a tax income of $8 million in the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to an expense of $55 million in the half year period compared to a tax income of $10 million last year. Despite reaching losses before tax, the Company recorded tax expenses mainly ?because the losses were primarily incurred by subsidiaries with relatively lower tax rates, while some ?of them did not create deferred tax assets on the losses. On the other hand, the subsidiaries that ?generated profit have a higher tax rate. ?
In the first half of 2024 the company recorded tax expenses due to the non-?cash impact of the weakness of the BRL compared with tax income due to stronger BRL in the first ?half of 2023. ? Net loss reported in the second quarter was $94 million and $126 million in the half-year period, compared to a net loss of $46 million and $34 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively. Adjusted net loss in the second quarter was $61 million and $71 million in the half-year period, compared to a net loss of $41 million and $20 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively.
The decrease in working capital is a significant development that warrants further investigation.
Cash Flow: Operating cash flow of $347 million and $243 million was generated in the second quarter and first half year period in 2024 respectively, compared to $405 million generated in the second quarter and $19 million consumed in the half year period in 2023. The operating cash flow was significantly improved in the first half year of 2024 due to the company maintaining strict procurement practices, intensive collections and an improvement in supplier terms, reflecting initial implementation of initiatives taken as part of the company’s transformation plan. In the second quarter we see a decrease in operating cash flow, reflecting the high benchmark in Q2 2023 following the significant decrease in procurement in that quarter.
Net cash used in investing activities was $48 million in the second quarter and $115 million in the first half period in 2024, compared to $69 million and $162 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively. The lower cash used in investing activities in the second quarter and first half of 2024 reflected the prioritization of fixed asset investments in its manufacturing facilities as well as optimization of the company’s portfolio, part of the implementation of the Company’s transformation plan, reflected in prioritization of investments in intangible assets relating to ADAMA’s global registrations. It should be noted that in the first quarter of 2023 the company completed the acquisition of AgriNova New Zealand.
Free cash flow of $245 million was generated in the second quarter and $51 million generated in the half-year period compared to $288 million generated in the second quarter and $254 million consumed in the corresponding periods last year, respectively, reflecting the aforementioned operating and investing cash flow dynamics.
