III. Explanations for Performance Variation
Sales
For the first half year of 2024, ADAMA is expecting to report a decline in sales of approximately
14% in RMB terms (16% in USD terms), compared to the first half year of 2023, reflecting lower
prices and volumes as well as the negative impact of exchange rates. The lower sales resulted
from lower demand impacting quantities and prices.
EBITDA
In the first half year of 2024, the Company is expecting to report a decrease in the EBITDA and
its margin, in comparison to the first half year of 2023. This is despite an increase in the gross
margin, mainly reflecting the positive impact of new inventory sold, priced at market prices.
At the beginning of 2024, the Company began the implementation of a transformation plan which
includes active measures to improve the quality of the business.
Net Loss
In the first half year of 2024, the Company is expecting to report Net Loss (992 - 566 million RMB),
compared to the net loss in the first half year of 2023. The loss deepened in the first half year of
2024 following lower Operating Profit and despite a decrease in financial expenses.
