2024 Interim
Results
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc

West African agribusiness
company focused on building a portfolio of sustainable and
diversified projects, is pleased is to
announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30
June 2024.
Financial
Highlights
Palm Oil Operation
·
10.1% decrease in H1 2024 revenues to €18.6m (H1
2023: €20.7m) due to the 17.6% decrease in Crude Palm Oil ('CPO')
sales prices more than offsetting the 7.7% increase in CPO sales
volumes - includes sale of CPO, Palm Kernel Oil ('PKO'), Palm
Kernel Cake ('PKC') and Nursery Plants.
·
11.5% increase in H1 2024 gross margin percentage
compared to H1 2023 primarily due to lower Fresh Fruit Bunches
('FFB') costs more than offsetting the lower CPO sales prices.
In addition, we reported a 158.8% increase in Palm Kernel Oil
('PKO') volumes in H1 2024 compared to H1 2023.
·
12.1% increase in EBITDA to €3.7m (2023: €3.3m)
due to continued prudent cost control during an inflationary
environment.
Cashew Operation
·
H1 2024 revenues remained unchanged at €0.6m.
The unchanged revenue was due to previously reported issues
in the peeling and shelling sections which should be rectified over
the next 6-8 weeks.
·
H1 2024 EBITDA loss of €0.9m compared to an EBITDA
loss of €0.8m.

Operational Highlights - Palm
Oil Operation
·
The Palm Oil Operation experienced a consistent
high season albeit slightly below the relatively strong H1 2023
results with Fresh Fruit Bunch ('FFB') volumes and Crude Palm Oil
('CPO') production decreasing marginally by 8.1% and 7.7%
respectively compared to H1 2023.
·
CPO sales quantities increased 7.7% in H1 2024
compared to last year. This is largely due to last year's
high season arriving much later than normal, leading to high CPO
stock levels at the end of H1 2023.
·
The H1 2024 average CPO sales price achieved was
historically strong at €770 per tonne, albeit 17.6% below H1 2023
CPO sales price. International prices continue to remain steady at
approximately €900 per tonne and we continue to see local CPO
prices gradually increase towards the international price with June
2023 prices achieved of €773 per tonne.
·
The CPO extraction rate for H1 2024 of 22.0% was
slightly higher than H1 2023.

Cashew Operation Update
·
The Cashew Operation operated on a conservative
basis during H1 2024 while we awaited the arrival and commissioning
of new off the shelf shelling and peeling
equipment.
·
All new shelling and peeling equipment was ordered
in January 2024. Shipments related to shelling machinery
arrived in late July and the items related to the peeling section
arrived on site yesterday.
·
Commissioning of new equipment is underway and
being overseen by a highly credentialled cashew processing
consultant and we expect to see production volume materially
increase over the next 6-8 weeks.
·
Whole cashew sales prices have increased since the
end of H1 2024 which should be reflected in our Q3 production and
sales update which will be reported on or around 10 October
2024.

Lincoln Moore, Dekel's
Executive
Director, said:
"The Palm Oil Operation continues to perform very well with H1
2024 EBITDA increasing 12.1% compared to H1 2023. With the
replacement shelling and peeling equipment all on site and being
assembled, the Cashew Operation is on the cusp of delivering on its
promise over the coming months. We look forward to reporting
the upside of the Cashew operation and seeing the benefits of both
operations working well in tandem".

Notes:
Dekel Agri-Vision Plc is a
multi-project, multi-commodity agriculture company focused on West
Africa. It has a portfolio of projects in Côte d'Ivoire at various
stages of development: a fully operational palm oil project in
Ayenouan where fruit produced by local smallholders is processed at
the Company's 60,000tpa capacity crude palm oil mill and a cashew
processing project in Tiebissou, which is currently transitioning
to full commercial production.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Palm Oil Operation
The Palm Oil Operation continued to
perform well resulting in a 12.1% increase in H1 2024 EBITDA
compared to H1 2023. Production was solid, albeit slightly
below the relatively strong H1 2023 results with Fresh Fruit Bunch
('FFB') volumes and Crude Palm Oil ('CPO') production decreasing
marginally by 8.1% and 7.7% respectively compared to H1 2023.
CPO sales quantities increased 7.7% in H1 2024 compared to
last year. This is largely due to last year's high season
arriving much later than normal, leading to high CPO stock levels
at the end of H1 2023. The CPO Mill continued to perform
consistently which is reflected in the extraction rate achieved for
H1 2024 of 22.0% which was slightly higher than H1 2023.
Strong sales of PKO and prudent management of FFB prices and
overheads were the key factors driving the 12.1% increase in
EBITDA.
International CPO and PKO sales
prices continue to trade well above historically averages and
remain very supportive of our Palm Oil Operation. International CPO
prices currently sit at around €900 per tonne. We
continue to see local CPO prices gradually
increase back towards the international price.
Cashew Operation
As previously reported, the Cashew
Operation has been operating on a conservative basis while we
awaited replacement equipment for the underperforming shelling and
peeling sections. All new shelling and peeling equipment was
ordered in January 2024 and now all arrived at the Cashew Operation
site.
The new peeling and shelling
sections should be able to be installed relatively quickly and we
should therefore see a material improvement in production volumes
in the next 6-8 weeks. This increase in cashew production
volumes together with improving cashew prices should lead to a
significant improvement in the performance of the Cashew Operations
in the back end of 2024. The Cashew
Operation ramp up remains the key catalyst to drive both our short
and medium term growth plans and we look forward to finally seeing
the benefits of this in our Group financial
performance.
Other Projects
Whilst we have further expansion
plans, including the processing of a third commodity in addition to
clean energy aspirations, these projects are on hold as we focus on
enhancing the the Cashew Operation.

Dekel reported H1 2024 EBITDA of
€2.8m compared to €2.5m in H1 2023 EBITDA. The €0.3m increase in
EBITDA was driven by:
·
A €0.4m increase in the Palm Oil Operation EBITDA
due to the increase in CPO sales volumes as well as continued
prudent overhead expense management more than offsetting lower CPO
prices.
·
A €0.1m increase in the Cashew Operation EBITDA
loss due to operating inefficiencies resulting from technical
issues with the peeling and shelling sections.
Dekel reported a H1 2024 Net Loss
after Tax of €0.7m compared to a Net Profit after Tax of €0.4m. The
difference was primarily driven by:
·
An increase in H1 2024 EBITDA of €0.3m compared to
H1 2023 as described above being offset by:
o The
inclusion of H1 2024 depreciation from the Cashew Operation for the
first time increasing Group depreciation by €1.1m.
o An
increase in Cashew Operations interest expense of €0.2m in FY 2023
which was previously capitalised in H1 2023.
Outlook
The Palm Oil Operation continues to
perform very well for the Group with H1 2024 EBITDA increasing
12.1% despite CPO prices normalising, albeit at relatively high
levels compared to H1 2023. The Cashew Operation is hopefully
on the cusp of finally delivering on its promise over the coming
months. We look forward to reporting the significant upside
of the Cashew operation and seeing the benefits of both operations
working well in tandem.
I would like to thank the Board,
Management, our employees and advisers for their support and hard
work over the course of the year.

The accompanying notes are an
integral part of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 1:- GENERAL
a. These financial statements
have been prepared in a condensed format as of 30 June 2024, and
for the six months then ended ("interim consolidated financial
statements"). These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as of 31
December 2023 and for the year then ended and accompanying notes
("annual consolidated financial statements").
b. Dekel Agri-Vision
PLC (the "Company") is a public limited company incorporated in
Cyprus on 24 October 2007. The Company's Ordinary shares are
admitted for trading on the AIM, a market operated by the London
Stock Exchange. The Company is engaged through its subsidiaries in
developing and cultivating palm oil plantations in Cote d'Ivoire
for the purpose of producing and marketing Crude Palm Oil ("CPO"),
as well as constructing a Raw Cashew Nut ("RCN") processing plant,
which is currently in the initial production phase. The Company's
registered office is in Limassol, Cyprus.
c. CS DekelOil Siva Ltd.
("DekelOil Siva") a company incorporated in Cyprus, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. DekelOil CI SA, a
subsidiary in Cote d'Ivoire currently held 99.85% by DekelOil Siva,
is engaged in developing and cultivating palm oil plantations for

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)
f. Cash flow from operations and
working capital deficiency.
As of 30 June 2024, the Group has a working capital
deficiency of €7.9 million (€8.7 million as of 31 December 2023).
The group generated a positive cash flow from operation of €1.9
million (€1.3 million for the six-month ended 30 June 2023). The
Palm Oil operation is performing well, recording profit before tax
of €3.1 million (including depreciation of €0.7 millions) for the 6
months ending 30 June 2024 (see also note 3 operating segments).
This profit was offset mainly by a loss at the cashew segment to a
total loss for the period of €0.7 millions (including depreciation
of €2 millions). Cashew Operation is gradually increasing
daily production and is forecast to deliver positive operating cash
flows in the coming months. The Group has prepared detailed
forecasted cash flows through the end of 2025, which indicate that
the Group should have positive cash flows from its Group
operations. However, the operations of the Group are subject to
various market conditions, including quantity and quality of fruit
harvests and market prices that are not under the Group's control
that could have an adverse effect on the Group's future cash
flows.
Based on the above, the Company's management believes
it will have sufficient funds necessary to continue its operations
and to meet its obligations as they become due for at least a
period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial
statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of preparation of the
interim consolidated financial statements:
The interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial
Reporting".
The significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are
consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022, except as described in c. below.
b. Fair value of financial
instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial
instruments approximate their fair value.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Cont.)
c. Initial
adoption of amendments to existing financial reporting and
accounting standards:
1. Amendment to IAS 8,
"Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and
Errors":
In February 2021, the IASB issued an
amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting
Estimates and Errors" ("the Amendment"), in which it introduces a
new definition of "accounting estimates".
Accounting estimates are defined as
"monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to
measurement uncertainty". The Amendment clarifies the distinction
between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting
policies and the correction of errors.
The Amendment is to be applied
prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2023 and is applicable to changes in accounting policies
and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the
start of that period.
The application of the Amendment did
not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial
statements.
2. Amendment to IAS
12, "Income Taxes":
In May 2021, the IASB issued an
amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes" ("IAS 12"), which narrows the
scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS
12.24 ("the Amendment").
According to the recognition
guidelines of deferred tax assets and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of
certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition
of certain transactions. This exception is referred to as the
"initial recognition exception". The Amendment narrows the scope of
the initial recognition exception and clarifies that it does not
apply to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
arising from transactions that are not a business combination and
that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary
differences, even if they meet the other criteria of the initial
recognition exception.
The Amendment is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. In
relation to leases and decommissioning obligations, the Amendment
is applied commencing from the earliest reporting period presented
in the financial statements in which the Amendment is initially
applied. The cumulative effect of the initial application of the
Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate)
at that date.
The application of the Amendment did
not have a material impact on the Company's interim financial
statements.
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Cont.)
3. Amendment to IAS 1,
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies":
In February 2021, the IASB issued an
amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" ("the
Amendment"), which replaces the requirement to disclose
'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose
'material' accounting policies. One of the main reasons for the
Amendment is the absence of a definition of the term 'significant'
in IFRS whereas the term 'material' is defined in several standards
and particularly in IAS 1.
The Amendment is effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The above Amendment did not have an effect on the Company's interim consolidated
financial statements. However, the Company is evaluating
whether the Amendment will affect the disclosures of accounting
policies in the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 3: - INITIAL
APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO FINANCIAL REPORTING
STANDARDS
a. Amendment to
IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements":
In
January 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation
of Financial Statements" regarding the criteria for determining the
classification of liabilities as current or non-current ("the
Original Amendment"). In October 2022, the IASB issued a subsequent
amendment ("the Subsequent Amendment").
According to the Subsequent Amendment:
· Only financial covenants with which an entity must comply on
or before the reporting date will affect a liability's
classification as current or non-current.
· In respect of a liability for which compliance with financial
covenants is to be evaluated within twelve months from the
reporting date, disclosure is required to enable users of the
financial statements to assess the risks related to that liability.
The Subsequent Amendment requires disclosure of the carrying amount
of the liability, information about the financial covenants, and
the facts and circumstances at the end of the reporting period that
could result in the conclusion that the entity may have difficulty
in complying with the financial covenants.
According to the Original Amendment, the conversion option of
a liability affects the classification of the entire liability as
current or non-current unless the conversion component is an equity
instrument.
The Original Amendment and Subsequent Amendment are applied
retrospectively for annual periods beginning on January 1,
2024.
NOTE 3: - INITIAL
APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO FINANCIAL REPORTING
STANDARDS
The Amendments did not have a material impact on the
Company's interim consolidated financial statements.
b. Disclosure of
new Standards in the period prior to adoption:
IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements":
In
April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board ("the
IASB") issued IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements" ("IFRS 18") which replaces IAS 1, "Presentation of
Financial Statements".
IFRS 18 is aimed at improving comparability and transparency
of communication in financial statements.
IFRS 18 retains certain existing requirements of IAS 1 and
introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of
profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also
requires disclosure of management-defined
performance measures and includes new requirements for
aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
IFRS 18 does not modify the recognition and measurement
provisions of items in the financial statements. However, since
items within the statement of profit or loss must be classified
into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, taxes
on income and discontinued operations), it may change the entity's
operating profit. Moreover, the publication of IFRS 18 resulted in
consequential narrow scope amendments to other accounting
standards, including IAS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows", and IAS 34,
"Interim Financial Reporting".
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively.
Early adoption is permitted but will need to be
disclosed.
The Company is evaluating the effects of IFRS 18, including
the effects of the consequential amendments to other accounting
standards, on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4:- OPERATING SEGMENTS
a.
General:
The operating segments are
identified based on information that is reviewed by the Company's
management to make decisions about resources to be allocated and
assess its performance. Accordingly, for management purposes, the
Group is organized into two operating segments based on the two
business units the Group has. The two business units are
incorporated under two separate subsidiaries of the Company, the
CPO production unit is incorporated under CS Dekel Oil Siva Ltd and
its subsidiary and the RCN processing plant in commissioning stage
is incorporated under Pearlside Holdings Ltd and its
subsidiary.
Segment performance (segment income
(loss)) and the segment assets and liabilities are derived from the
financial statements of each separate group of entities as
described above. Unallocated items are mainly the
Group's headquarter
costs.
