LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS 4 • ANNUAL REPORT 2019 АSTARTA Holding N.V. Dear shareholders, Entering the new 2020 season, I would like to recap the 2019 results. Looking back, I must confess that last year was not easy, but at the same time, very motivating - our business had a clear task to mobilize internal resources, and the Company today is a more resilient business than a year ago. Bespoke system for the efficiency improvement (Lean-based) and further implementation of new IT-solutions in agribusiness management delivered us cost and resource savings. All these changes are dictated by today’s globalized environment, so we will continue to focus on the optimization of business processes through their simplification, transparency, automation, eliminating bureaucracy and increasing the speed of decision making. We are all aware that 2019 was very volatile as economic sentiment, political and climate risks continue to give rise to uncertainties in agricultural commodity markets. The local sugar market did not improve much in 2019: despite significant contraction of the sugar beet growing area in Ukraine, the prices remained subdued. However, we do expect tighter market conditions in the following years as the fundamentals of the industry are robust. In 2019 we successfully launched our storage and handling services for third parties in addition to keeping all of our harvest in the 550kt network of newly built grain and oilseeds storage facilities. This allows us to increase efficiency by lowering costs and preserving the quality of crops. In 2019 our revenues totaled EUR448m (+20% y-o-y) and EBITDA - EUR78m (+15% y-o-y). Capital discipline along with continued focus on productivity and costs resulted in the reduction of Net Debt (including lease liabilities) to EUR276m (-15% y-o-y) bringing Net Debt to EBITDA ratio to 3.5x from 4.8x in 2018. ASTARTA develops its business guided by the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals. What does it mean? It is an adherence to sustainable development principles in order to enjoy a competitive edge in the markets. It is important for the Company to stay at the forefront of business sustainability practices. In 2020, we continue to develop our vision in three priority areas: operational improvements, digitization and ESG compliance. I believe that these initiatives will find support from all our stakeholders and lay down solid fundamentals for our joint success. Sincerely yours, Viktor Ivanchyk Founder and CEO ANNUAL REPORT 2019 • 5 АSTARTA Holding N.V.
