1.Background information
Lavoro Limited is a Cayman Island exempted company incorporated on August 22, 2022.
Lavoro Limited is a public company listed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its shares are traded on Nasdaq Global Select Market under ticker symbol “LVRO”.
Lavoro Limited (“Lavoro” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is one of the main agricultural input distribution platforms in Latin America, with relevant agricultural input distribution operations in Brazil and Colombia, and an agricultural input trading company in Uruguay. Also, as a result of a verticalization strategy, the Group produces agricultural biological and special fertilizers products through its own facilities. The Group offers farmers a complete portfolio of products and services with the goal of helping farmer customers succeed by providing multi-channel support.
As of March 31, 2024, the Group is controlled by investment funds managed by Patria Investments Limited (“Patria”), a global alternative asset manager with shares listed on NASDAQ.
Seasonality
Agribusiness is subject to seasonality throughout the year, especially due to the crop cycles that depend on specific weather conditions. Operations, especially in Brazil, have unique weather conditions compared to other countries producing agricultural commodities, making it possible to harvest two to three crops in the same area per year. Thus, considering that the activities of the Group’s customers are directly related to crop cycles, which are seasonal in nature, revenues and cash flows from sales may also be substantially seasonal.
The sale of our products is dependent upon planting and growing seasons, which vary from year to year, and are expected to result in both highly seasonal patterns and substantial fluctuations in quarterly sales and profitability. Demand for our products is typically stronger between October and December, with a second period of strong demand between January and March. The seasonality of agricultural inputs results in our sales volumes and net sales typically being the highest during the period between September to February and our working capital and total debt requirements typically being the highest just after the end of this period.

3.Segment information
(a)Reportable segments by management
The chief operating decision-maker of the Group (the “CODM”) is the board of directors which is responsible for allocating resources among operating segments and assessing their performance and making strategic decisions.
The determination of the reportable segments is based on internal reports reviewed by the CODM, which include considerations in relation to risks and returns, organizational structure, etc. Certain expenses across segments are allocated based on reasonable allocation criteria, such as revenues or historical trends.
The Group’s reportable segments are the following:
•Brazil Cluster: comprising companies located in Brazil that sell agricultural inputs;
•LATAM Cluster: comprising companies located in Colombia that sell agricultural inputs;
•Crop Care Cluster: comprising companies that produce and import their own portfolio of proprietary products including off-patent crop protection and specialty products (e.g., biologicals and specialty fertilizers).

The average effective interest rate used to discount trade receivables for the three and nine -month period ended March 31, 2024 was 0.96% per month (0.96% as of June 30, 2023). The Group does not have any customer that represents more than 10% of its trade receivables or revenues.
As of March 31, 2024, the Group also transferred trade receivables to the FIAGRO (Agro-industrial Supply Chain Investment Fund), a structured entity, as defined by IFRS 10, established under Brazilian law designed specifically for investing in agribusiness credit rights receivables, in the amount of R$178,841 (R$167,278 in June 30, 2023).
As the Group has retained the risks and rewards of ownership, these amounts were not derecognized from trade receivables. Consequently, the liability resulting from these operations is recorded as obligations to FIAGRO quota holders.

The Group considers that assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, have a carrying value approximate to their fair value and, therefore, information on their fair values is not presented.
(a)Hierarchy of fair value
The Group uses various methods to measure and determine fair value (including market approaches and income or cost approaches) and to estimate the value that market participants would use to price the asset or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed within the following fair value hierarchy levels:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active, liquid and visible markets, for identical assets and liabilities that are readily available at the measurement date;
| | | | | |
| |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
All financial instruments accounted for at fair value are classified as level 2, except for the Warrant liability which is classified as level 1. On March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, there were no changes in the fair value methodology of the financial instruments and, therefore, there were no transfers between levels.
7.Financial and capital risk management
(a)Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Group
The Group is exposed to several market risk factors that might impact its business. The Group’s board of directors is responsible for monitoring these risk factors, as well as establishing policies and procedures to address them. The Group’s risk management structure considers the size and complexity of its activities, which allows for a better understanding of how such risks could impact Group’s strategy through committees and other internal meetings.
Currently, the Group is focused on action plans relating to risks that could have a significant impact on its strategic goals, including those required by applicable regulations. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, its risk management structure conducts risk identification and assessments to prioritize the risks that are key to pursuing potential opportunities that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of impacting its results, capital, liquidity, customer relationships and/or reputation.
The Group’s risk management strategies were developed to mitigate and/or reduce the financial market risks which it is exposed to, which are as follows:
•credit risk
•liquidity risk
•capital risk
•interest rate risk
•exchange rate risk
•commodity price risk in barter transactions
| | | | | |
| |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
(b)Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial losses if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to fulfill its contractual obligations, which arise mainly from the Group’s trade receivables. The Group maintains short-term investments and derivatives with financial institutions approved by its management according to objective criteria for diversification of such risk.
The Group seeks to mitigate its credit risk related to trade receivables by setting forth credit limits for each counterparty based on the analysis of its credit management process. Such credit exposure determination is performed considering the qualitative and quantitative information of each counterparty. The Group also focuses on the diversification of its portfolio and monitors different solvency and liquidity indicators of its counterparties. In addition, primarily for receivables in installments, the Group monitors the balance of allowances for expected credit losses (see Note 5).
The main strategies on credit risks management are listed below:
•creating credit approval policies and procedures for new and existing customers.
•extending credit to qualified customers through a review of credit agency reports, financial statements and/or credit references, when available.
•reviewing existing customer accounts every twelve months based on the credit limit amounts.
•evaluating customer and regional risks.
•obtaining guarantees through the endorsement of rural producer notes (“CPR”), which give physical ownership of the relevant agricultural goods in the event of the customer’s default.
•establishing credit approval for suppliers in case of payments in advance.
•setting up provisions using the lifetime expected credit loss method considering all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument, Receivables are categorized based on the number of overdue days and/or a customer’s credit risk profile, Estimated losses on receivables are based on known troubled accounts and historical losses, Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
•requiring minimum acceptable counterparty credit ratings from financial counterparties.
•setting limits for counterparties or credit exposure; and
•developing relationships with investment-grade counterparties.
The current credit policy sets forth credit limits for customers based on credit score analysis made by the Group’s credit management area. Such score is determined
| | | | | |
| |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
considering the qualitative and quantitative information related to each customer, resulting in a rating classification and a level of requirement of guarantees as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | % Of guarantees required on sales |
Credit rating | % Customers | Risk classification | Medium-sized farmers (i) | Other |
AA & A | 23% | Very small | 80-90% | 0% |
B | 49% | Medium | 100% | 30% |
C & D | 16% | High | 100% | 60% |
Simplified | 12% | Small farmers | N/A | N/A |
(i)Medium-sized farmers ranging between 100 and 10,000 hectares in planted acreage that are typically not serviced directly by agricultural input producers,
For Colombia there is a similar credit scoring process, however, guarantees are not required based on credit ratings but instead based on qualitative factors such as relationships and past experiences with customers.
Maximum exposure to credit risk as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023:
| | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | June 30, 2023 |
| | |
Trade receivables (current and non-current) | 5,538,797 | | 2,708,539 | |
Advances to suppliers | 147,107 | | 192,119 | |
| | |
| 5,685,904 | | 2,900,658 | |
(c)Liquidity risk
The Group defines liquidity risk as the risk of financial losses if it is unable to comply with its payment obligations in connection with financial liabilities settled in cash or other financial assets in a timely manner as they become due. The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to ensure that it has sufficient cash available to settle its obligations without incurring losses or affecting the operations. Management is ultimately responsible for managing liquidity risk, which relies on a liquidity risk management model to manage funding requirements and liquidity in the short, medium and long term.
The Group’s cash position is monitored by its senior management, through management reports and periodic performance meetings. The Group also manages its liquidity risk by maintaining reserves, bank credit facilities and other borrowing facilities deemed appropriate, through ongoing monitoring of forecast and actual cash flows, as well as through the combination of maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

| 4,742,852 | | 356,608 | | 5,099,460 | |
(d)Capital risk
The Group manages its capital risk through its leverage policy to ensure its ability to continue as a going concern and to maximize the return of its stakeholders by optimizing its balances of debt and equity.
The Group's strategy is to maintain the total Group net debt up to 2 times the projected adjusted EBITDA for twelve months to be ended on June 30, 2024.
(i)Interest rate risk
Fluctuations in interest rates, such as the Brazilian interbank deposit rate, which is an average of interbank overnight rates in Brazil, and Colombian investment rate, which is an average of interbank and financial corporation loans, may have an effect on the cost of the Group’s borrowings and new borrowings.
The Group periodically monitors the effects of market changes in interest rates on its financial instruments portfolio. Funds raised by the Group are used to finance working capital for each crop season and are typically raised at short term conditions.
As of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Group had no derivative financial instruments used to mitigate interest rate risks.
| | | | | |
| |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
(i)Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates
To mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity of variations transactions impacted by the CDI Rate and IBR Rate. The Scenario 1 represents the impact on booked amounts considering the most current (April 2024) CDI Rate and IBR Rate and reflects management’s best estimates. The Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 consider an increase of 25% and 50% in such market interest rates, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.
The following table sets forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March, 31 2024 |
| | Expense on profit or loss |
| Current Index | Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 | Scenario 3 |
| | | | |
Floating rate borrowings in Brazil | CDI Rate (10,65%) | 150,182 | | 178,852 | | 207,521 | |
Floating rate borrowings in Colombia | IBR Rate (12,24%) | 18,994 | | 22,700 | | 26,406 | |
Floating rate Agribusiness Receivables Certificates | CDI Rate (10,65%) | 57,353 | | 68,102 | | 78,852 | |
| | | | |
| | 226,529 | | 269,654 | | 312,779 | |
(ii)Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its operations related to agricultural inputs, mainly related to the U.S. dollar, which significantly impacts global prices of agricultural inputs in general. Although all purchases and sales are conducted locally, certain purchase and sales contracts are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
The Group’s current commercial department seeks to reduce this exposure. Its marketing department is responsible for managing pricing tables and commercial strategies to seek a natural hedge between purchases and sales and to match currency and terms to the greatest extent possible.
The Group’s corporate treasury department is responsible for monitoring the forecasted cash flow exposure to the U.S. dollar, and whenever any mismatches as to terms and currencies are identified, non-deliverable forwards derivative financial instruments are purchased to offset these exposures, and therefore fulfill internal policy requirements. U.S. dollar exposure is managed by macro hedging through the analysis of the forecasted cash flow for the next two harvests. The Group may not have any leveraged derivative position.
The Group’s exchange rate exposure monitoring committee meets periodically across the commercial, treasury and corporate business departments. There are also
| | | | | |
| |
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
committees on purchase valuation and business intelligence for the main goods traded by the Group.
The Group does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of profit or loss, as disclosed in Note 27.
(i)Sensitivity analysis – exposure to exchange rates
To gauge its exposure to exchange rate risk, the Group uses different scenarios to evaluate its asset and liability positions in foreign currency and their potential effects on its results.
The Scenario 1 below represents the impact on carrying amounts of the most current (April 2024) market rates for the U.S. dollar (R$5.1115 to US$1.00). This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly interest rates, remain constant. The Scenario 2 e Scenario 3 consider the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, which represents a significant change in the probable scenario for sensitivity purposes.
The following table set forth the potential impacts on the statements of profit or loss:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 |
| | Effect on profit or loss |
| Current Index | Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 | Scenario 3 |
| | | | |
Cash equivalents in U.S. Dollars | 5,1155 | 269 | | 3,156 | | 6,043 | |
Trade receivables in U.S. Dollars | 5,1155 | 9,677 | | 113,415 | | 217,154 | |
Trade payables in U.S. Dollars | 5,1155 | (13,514) | | (158,384) | | (303,254) | |

| | | | |
Total impact, net of derivatives | | (5,025) | | (58,887) | | (112,748) | |

30. Subsequent events
•New financing transactions
Following March 31, 2024, and up to the date of this interim consolidated financial statements, several of our Brazilian subsidiaries have executed multiple financing agreements, with principal sum of R$48,8 million, with interest rating from CDI Rate plus 3.5% to 18.4% and maturities ranging from September 2024 to June 2025.
•Law 14.789/2023 – Tax benefits suspension
The federal government suspended the income tax benefit arising from ICMS deduction, with effects starting in 2024. Consequently, in 2024, the Group will no longer be able to benefit from the income tax explained in Note 9.
•Floods in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS)
During the preparation of the Financial Statements, the Group monitored the impacts of the climatic catastrophe resulting from severe floods in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, which began in May 2024.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$, except if otherwise indicated) |
The physical structures of the companies located in the state have not been affected, with stores, warehouses, and products remaining intact so far. In particular, the production plant of adjuvants of Cromo Química in the city of Estrela (RS) has not suffered damage to infrastructure or inventory but stayed non-operational for a period due to lack of power and access to the plant. The operation has already been reestablished.
The future scenario is uncertain for upcoming plantings and harvests, with forecasts of negative impacts on future sales in various agricultural sectors, particularly regarding wheat planting. Significant loss of soybean volume yet to be harvested is forecasted, along with impacts on corn planting, and an estimate of rice productivity loss.
