Bachoco Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., “Bachoco” or “the Company”, (NYSE: IBA; BMV: Bachoco) announced today its unaudited results for the first quarter (“1Q22”) ending March 31, 2022. All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) and are presented in nominal million Mexican Pesos (“$”), except earnings per share.

HIGHLIGHTS- 2022 vs. 2021

  • Net sales increased 25.9% in 1Q22.
  • Cost of sales increased 27.1% in 1Q22.
  • EBITDA margin was 14.4% in 1Q22 vs 15.1% in 1Q21.
  • Earnings per basic and diluted share were $3.60 in 1Q22 vs $3.50 in 1Q21.

CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated, “We continue observing historically elevated corn and soybean meal prices which resulted in a 27.1% increase in our cost of sales when compared to 1Q21.

We think that part of the movement in those markets is driven by geopolitical tensions between Ukraine and Russia. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, it is leading to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices. We believe this uncertainty will keep having a negative impact on our cost of sales.

Under those volatile conditions, we remained focus on better managing our sales mix for both Poultry and Others. Particularly in our Others segment we integrated results from RYC Alimentos (RYC) for 1Q22. After the integration, in the overall, our net sales increased 25.9% vs 1Q21.

As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 8.2% compared to the 8.5% reported in the same period of 2021.

All of the above resulted on an EBITDA in 1Q22 of $3,517.0 million or 14.4% EBITDA margin; which compares to the $2,913.4 million and 15.1% margin reported for 1Q21.

We remain committed to our growth strategy, in that end, we reported CAPEX of $915.2 million for the quarter which compares to the $555.7 million for the same period of 2021. This was achieved while generating a net cash position of $18,122.8 million by the end of 1Q22. Our solid financial structure should help us face the uncertainties and volatilities on the market which, at this point, are difficult to predict.”

Executive Summary

The following financial information is expressed in millions of nominal pesos, except for amounts per share and per ADR, with comparative figures for the same periods of 2021.
