Lavoro Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Earnings Results

  • Lavoro’s revenue for FY1Q24 reached $483.1 million, an increase of +11% compared to the prior year period (+3% in constant currency terms), driven by market share gains.
  • 1Q24 gross profit was $59.5 million, a -34% decrease y/y, with gross margins contracting by -850 bps to 12.3% due primarily to the ongoing industry-wide deflationary pressures affecting crop protection and fertilizer distribution margins.
  • Net loss was -$14.5 million, compared to net income of $15.1 million in the prior year period; adjusted net loss was -$8.9 million, compared to adjusted net income of $17.2 million in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $11.1 million, reflecting a -75% decline from the previous year, largely attributable to the same market headwinds.
  • On November 30, 2023, Lavoro successfully completed the acquisition of Coram Comércio e Representações Agrícolas. Coram, with its team of 33 technical sales representatives, serves 1,200 farmers across the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Goiás, significantly bolstering Lavoro’s retail presence in these key agricultural regions.
  • Lavoro has taken a significant step towards enhancing its capital structure by securing a new multi-year R$420 million (US$86 million) credit facility with a four-year term. This strategic move enables the retirement of existing short-term loans, transitioning to more sustainable, long-term financing arrangements that supports Lavoro’s long-term growth objectives.
  • In light of a more challenging market environment than initially anticipated, Lavoro has updated its FY2024 guidance.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO; LVROW), the first U.S.-listed pure-play agricultural inputs distributor in Latin America, today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2024, ended on September 30, 2023.

Ruy Cunha, CEO of Lavoro, commented, “Since our last market update, severe drought conditions across Brazil's key agricultural states, attributed to El Niño, have adversely affected the soybean crop's growth. Furthermore, we are now forecasting planting delays and a reduction in acreage for the forthcoming safrinha corn crop, compared to previous expectations. Consequently, we have adjusted our expectations for the retail agricultural inputs market in Brazil, predicting a contraction of -25% for the 2023/2024 crop year (ending in June 2024), a downward revision from our previous estimate of a -20% decline.

“While we have seen a gradual improvement in our crop protection distribution margins, the rate of recovery has not met our initial projections, indicating that the industry-wide destocking of excess agrochemical inventories still has ways to go. Although our growth in volumes and market share gains has buffered these challenges at the top-line level—where our projections remain consistent—our margins will be affected, causing us to revise our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range. This is due to slower-than-anticipated recovery in our crop protection and fertilizer distribution margins, as well as a diminished contribution from our Crop Care segment, stemming from El Niño's impact on the safrinha crop.

With that said, we remain confident in our belief that the impact of ongoing market headwinds to our margins are temporary and will not impede our long-term growth trajectory and earnings potential. We are diligently implementing our strategic plans to capitalize on the environment to accelerate market share gains, including via the recruitment of experienced RTVs. Since the beginning of FY24, the RTVs we have added this year represent an approximate revenue potential of $120 million.”

FY1Q24 Financial Highlights

  • Consolidated revenue for Lavoro in 1Q24 increased by +11% to $483.1 million, compared to the same period in 2023. In constant currency terms, revenue saw a 3% increase. Inputs revenue rose by +5%, bolstered by robust unit volume growth and contributions from recent M&A activities, which more than compensated for pricing headwinds. Grains revenue resulting increased +109% off of an easy comparable, driven by a greater desire by our clients for entering into barter transactions.
  • Brazil Ag Retail segment saw revenue increase by +15%, reflecting improved sales volumes of crop protection (+54%), fertilizer (+53%) and specialty (+33%) product  categories. Additionally, the recent acquisition of Referencia contributed +2% to the segment's 1Q24 revenue. Crop Care segment revenue decreased -1% to $35.7 million, reflecting decline on sales of biologicals and post-patent chemicals and being partially offset by higher sales from specialty fertilizers. Revenue for the Latam Ag Retail segment declined by -1%, primarily due to the price decline in fertilizers and the challenges following the removal of a financially significant herbicide from a supplier's product lineup.
  • Gross profit fell by -34% to $59.5 million, and gross margin contracted by -850 basis points to 12.3%. This compression in gross margin was primarily due to lower distribution margins for crop protection and fertilizer products in our Brazil Ag Retail segment, compounded by mix-related headwinds in our Crop Care segment.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 1Q24 stood at $11.1 million, a decrease of -$33 million from the previous year's quarter, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin shrinking by -790bps to 2.3%. This contraction was driven by the gross margin compression as detailed above. The SG&A (excluding D&A) to sales ratio remained steady at approximately 11.9%.
  • Non-recurring expenses increased by +$5.4 million to $8.5 million in 1Q24, due to (i) M&A accounting and tax due diligence expenses ($3.4 million), (ii) the provision of the second half of the DeSPAC bonus to employees that will be paid in 3Q24 ($1.3 million) and (iii) related-party consultancy services expenses recognized as non-recurring in 1Q24 ($0.9million).
  • Adjusted net income was -$8.9 million, a decline of -$26 million over the prior year quarter, driven by lower adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by lower financial expenses and an increased positive contribution from income tax.

Segment Results for 1Q243

Brazil Ag Retail

Brazil Ag Retail saw revenue increased by 15%, reflecting improved sales volumes of crop protection, fertilizer and specialty product categories, which increased +54%, +53% and +33% respectively. This more than offset the impact from price declines in crop protection and fertilizers. Gross margin contracted by -1,070bps to 8.7%, driven by the same factors.

Latam Ag Retail

Latam Ag Retail reported revenue of $66.3 million, a 1% decrease from the prior year quarter, and a more pronounced 9% decline in Colombian peso terms. This decline was largely due to pricing headwinds to fertilizer sales and supply shortages of corn seeds from a key supplier which resulted in lost revenue opportunity amounting to ~$2 million for the quarter. Additionally, our Latam operations continue to be adversely affected by the discontinued supply of Paraquat, a leading herbicide in Colombia, from a key supplier. This issue contributed to a year-over-year revenue headwind of ~$2 million in the quarter.

Crop Care

Crop Care's revenue saw a slight decline of 1% to $35.7 million, primarily due to a significant drop in Perterra's revenue, a result of falling prices in agrochemicals. It’s worth noting that Perterra, a subsidiary of Crop Care, specializes in importing off-patent agrochemicals from Asia, with Lavoro’s Brazil Ag Retail being its main customer. Another contributing factor to this quarter’s performance was Agrobiologica, which encountered delays in farmers' purchasing decisions, leading to deferred revenue. However, these year-over-year impacts were partially mitigated by the recent acquisition of Cromo Quimica, an adjuvant manufacturer acquired in 4Q23, and double-digit growth of Union Agro, our specialty fertilizers manufacturing subsidiary.

Full Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Outlook4

In light of a more challenging market environment than initially anticipated, Lavoro has updated its FY2024 guidance. The revised outlook for Adjusted EBITDA now stands at a range of $80 million to $110 million. This adjustment is due to a slower-than-expected recovery in distribution margins for crop protection and fertilizer products, and unanticipated headwinds facing the Crop Care segment, stemming from the effects of El Niño on the safrinha crop. Total revenue and input revenue projections remain unchanged, with ranges of $2.0 to $2.3 billion and $1.7 to $2.0 billion, respectively.

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.
