1.5 Outlook for FY2020

◼ FY2020 sunflower seed acreage remained relatively the same as y-o-y as temporary weakness in global sunflower oil prices observed throughout
FY2019 discouraged farmers to further increase planting areas;
Oilseed ◼ The most recent field data make us expect sunflower seed harvest in Ukraine at 15.2 million tons in FY2020, flat y-o-y, securing strong supply of
Processing seeds in the market;
◼ Competitive landscape is not expected to change. Low margin environment prohibits further investments in the sector keeping the aggregate oilseed
processing capacities at 18.5 million tons in Ukraine;
◼ Global sunflower oil prices recovered at the beginning of the FY2020 season, creating a momentum for the improvement of crushing margins;
◼ We expect over US$ 6m EBITDA contribution from cogeneration heat and power plants to be commissioned in FY2020.

◼ Grain harvest in Ukraine is envisaged to reach 75 million tons compared to 70 million tons last year, assuring robust supply of feedstock;
◼ We expect to originate over 11 million tons of grain and oilseed in FY2020, up 20% y-o-y-y (including crops harvested by our farming business) and
export over 8 million tons of grain and oilseeds from Ukraine in FY2020 as a result of:
Infrastructure
& Trading – Commissioning of our brand-new TransGrainTerminal in the port of Chornomorsk with aggregate 4 million tons of annual transshipment
capacity, with over 7 million tons of grains throughput targeted in FY2020 by TransBulkTerminal and TransGrainTerminal facilities;
– Commissioning of two new silos and upgrade of several other silos, completed at the end of FY2019;
– Full-season use of grain railcar fleet acquired in February 2019. We expect to transport 6.7 million tons of cargo (grains, oilseeds, sunflower
meal) in FY2020 by our wagons.
◼ Profitability-wise, we expect flat margins in grain export operations and infrastructure businesses.

◼ Farming segment, is expected to face headwinds in FY2020 as


Farming
– normalization of crop yields combined with nearly 7% cost base inflation and further drop in global soft commodity prices should take their toll;
– another distinctive element of this season is that we remain naturally long now which shall add both upside and downside risk to our Farming
segment earnings potential this season.

benefit from the global recovery of soft commodity prices
