(the “Company”) (SZSE 000553), today reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2024 that ended June 30, 2024. Steve Hawkins, President and CEO of ADAMA, said, "While the crop protection market remains challenging, we are focused on our transformation plan aimed at improving the quality of our business and strengthening our position in the fast-growing Value Innovation customer segment. We continue to launch a wide array of advanced, differentiated products with strong ROI for farmers in our largest and most important markets. The agriculture industry is cyclical in nature and ADAMA is taking the necessary steps to maximize our ability to capture opportunities when the market turns around. We believe that our value innovation portfolio is exactly the right fit for the large segment of growers who are looking for innovation but will be pressured by declining commodity prices and seeking cost effective solutions. "Our transformation plan is already showing initial positive results with higher EBITDA achieved in the second quarter, as well as an improvement in the gross and EBITDA margins in both the second quarter and the first half of 2024. This improvement was driven by efficient inventory management, better product sales mix as well as a steady reduction in operating expenses. Steps taken in working capital and CAPEX management have brought a significant improvement in cashflow in the first half of 2024. "We are still in the first phase of our transformation in ADAMA and as the market eventually turns around, we expect to see significant acceleration of the plan's impact on our financial results."

Farmer income is pressured by the declining crop commodity prices, however, there has been some ease in the prices of inputs such as fertilizers. The channel inventory situation continues to ease but the high interest rate environment coupled with ample product supply continue to drive a just-in-time purchasing approach by the channel. Active ingredient prices from China remained low during Q2 with some molecules even experiencing further price declines. Container shipping costs climbed higher during Q2 due to the combination of the red sea disruptions coupled with higher global trade demand. Update on the War Situation in Israel ADAMA is headquartered in Israel and has three manufacturing sites in the country. Following October th 7 , 2023, the Company continued the production in its global manufacturing sites and in Israel, with certain non-significant restrictions (which have been lifted in February 2024). This situation did not 3 Sources: CCPIA (China Crop Protection Industry Association), BAIINFO, FocusEconomics, China Containerized Freight Index, internal have a material impact on the Company's ability to support its markets or on ADAMA’s consolidated financial results. th On the 14 of April, Israel was under an attack from Iran, with no consequences to the Company's ongoing activities. Update on Impact of Shipping Obstructions In January 2024 some major shipping lines announced that they will suspend shipping to Israel through Israeli ports and through the Suez Canal due to tensions in the Red Sea. This has led to longer transportation times, with shipping lines being diverted around Africa. As of the date of publication of this report, shipping time and costs have increased significantly, mainly in the China-Israel/Europe; China-America routes in comparison to before January 2024. Currently, the Company does not anticipate this to have a significant impact on its financial results or on the ongoing supply of materials to its production facilities, due to the Company's strict inventory management, although this situation might impact the company's ability to respond quickly to changing market demand. "Fight Forward" Transformation Plan As announced in the ADAMA's full year 2023 financial results report, it initiated a plan in the first quarter of 2024 to revalue ADAMA through improving the quality of the business to turnaround the Company. The Company-wide transformation plan is aimed at gradually delivering profit and cash targets over a period of 3 years (2024-2026).

Patent of Forabaz in India Financial Highlights Revenues in the second quarter declined by approximately 16% (-14% in RMB terms; -14% in CER terms) to $1,041 million, presenting a decrease of 10% in prices and a decrease of 4% in volumes. The lower sales reflect lower market prices and de-focus from selected low profit products. Inventory levels in some areas have improved, however, high competition from Chinese and Indians manufactures increased pricing pressure mainly in commoditized crop protection products, while the channel is exercising more cautious buying patterns in light of previous price volatility and a higher interest rate environment. These results brought the revenues in the first half of 2024 to $2,098 million, a decline of approximately 16% (-14% in RMB terms; -14% in CER terms), reflecting a decrease of 10% in prices and a decrease of 4% in volumes.

Overall pricing was softer, particularly in commoditized products, with new competition coming into the market. North America: Consumer & Professional Solutions – Sales were higher in the second quarter following normalized buying patterns supported by good weather, while the Company focused on higher margin products. In the half year period sales were stable. In the US Ag market, sales declined in the second quarter and first half of 2024 reflecting overall good weather, with the season progressing as usual, while new competition from China and India is putting pressure on pricing. Channel inventory levels have declined with purchasing patterns on a just-in-time basis. Pricing is currently stabilizing, although still lower than during H1 2023. ADAMA's sales in Canada declined in the second quarter and first half of 2024 reflecting low insecticide sales as weather conditions were unfavorable for insect pressure. While inventory levels are declining, mainly in herbicide and fungicides, purchasing patterns on a just-in-time basis. Additionally, the market experienced strong competition and softer pricing particularly in commoditized products. Latin America: Brazil – decline in sales in the second quarter and first half of 2024, reflecting the softer pricing, competition from Chinese competitors, “wait and see” famers behavior postponing CP purchases, as well as de-focus from non-selective herbicides. Channel inventory has mostly normalized however demand is impacted by expectations for additional price decreases. The Company is focusing its sales on higher margin products, with new product introductions of differentiated products continuing to do well. In the rest of LATAM lower sales reflected the overall contraction in the market in Northern LATAM negatively impacted by El Ni?o weather. Inventory levels are back to normal levels in most countries, while pricing was impacted by high competition, mostly in commoditized products. Asia-Pacific (APAC): In China, the branded formulations sales in the second quarter and first half of 2024 were especially for cash crops. In the non-ag business, market pricing in has normalized while tech sales were mainly impacted by a "wait and see" approach in the market. In the Pacific region, sales declined impacted by softer pricing following competition from China and India. Despite this, better weather conditions than expected brought an increase in demand, mainly in Pacific countries in the second quarter of 2024. While channel inventories have declined, purchasing patterns are on a just-in-time basis. Sales in India were impacted by overall negative season with erratic weather and low pest pressure and softer pricing, particularly in commoditized products. Channel inventories have increased due to the weak season. Sales in the wider APAC region continued to experience pricing pressure following intense competition from China, particularly in commoditized products, while good weather conditions supported demand. Gross Profit reported in the second quarter reached $227 million (gross margin of 21.8%) compared to $253 million (gross margin of 20.6%) in the same quarter last year, and reached $484 million (gross margin of 23.0%) in the half year period compared to $563 million (gross margin of 22.6%) last year. Adjustments to reported results: The adjusted gross profit mainly includes reclassification of all inventory impairment, taxes and surcharge and excludes certain transportation costs (classified under operating expenses), as well as a provision related to the soil cleanup and remediation regarding the Company's plant in Be'er Sheva. Adjusted gross profit in the second quarter reached $269 million (gross margin of 25.8%) compared to $277 million (gross margin of 22.5%) in the same quarter last year, and reached $557 million (gross margin of 26.5%) in the half year period compared to $617 million (gross margin of 24.8%) last year. Despite the decline in sales in the second quarter and first half of 2024, the Company improved the gross margin following the positive impact of new inventory sold, priced at market levels and following management's focus on the quality of business which led to an improvement in the sales mix of higher margin products. In the second quarter and first half of 2024, exchange rates had a negative impact. Operating expenses reported in the second quarter of 2024 were $244 million (23.4% of sales), compared to $213 million (17.3% of sales) in the same quarter last year and reached $449 million (21.4% of sales) in the half year period compared to $431 million (17.3% of sales) last year. Adjustments to reported results: please refer to the explanation regarding adjustments to the gross profit in respect to certain transportation costs, taxes and surcharges and inventory impairment. Additionally, the Company recorded certain non-operational items within its reported operating expenses amounting to $56 million in Q2 2024 in comparison to $6 million in Q2 2023 and $76 in H1 2024 in comparison to $15 in H1 2023. These include mainly (i) provisions, such as legal claims, registration impairment and update of registration depreciation (ii) measures to improve efficiencies, (iii) non-cash amortization charges in respect of Transfer Assets received from Syngenta related to the 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta acquisition, (iv) charges related to the non-cash amortization of intangible assets created as part of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on acquisitions, with no impact on the ongoing performance of the companies acquired. For further details on these non-operational items, please see the appendix to this release. Adjusted operating expenses in the second quarter were $216 million (20.8% of sales), compared to $231 million (18.7% of sales) in the same quarter last year, and reached $433 million (20.6% of sales) in the half year period compared to $469 million (18.8% of sales) last year. The operating expenses were lower in the second quarter and first half of 2024, following undertaking tight OPEX management measures, including the impact of initiatives included in the Company's transformation plan, lower transportation and logistics costs and the positive impact of exchange rates. Operating income reported in the second quarter amounted to a loss of $16 million)-1.6% of sales) compared to an income of $40 million (3.3% of sales) in the second quarter of 2023 and amounted to $34 million (1.6% of sales) in the half year period compared to $132 million (5.3% of sales) last year. Adjusted operating income in the second quarter reached $52 million (5.0% of sales) compared to $46 million (3.8% of sales) in the same quarter last year and amounted to $124 million (5.9% of sales) in the half year period compared to $148 million (5.9% of sales) last year. EBITDA reported in the second quarter amounted to $76 million (7.3% of sales) compared to $115 million (9.3% of sales) in the same quarter last year and amounted to $196 million (9.4% of sales) in the half year period compared to $281 million (11.3% of sales) last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter amounted to $120 million (11.5% of sales) compared to $112 million (9.1% of sales) in the same quarter last year and amounted to $252 million (12.0% of sales) in the half year period compared to $277 million (11.1% of sales) last year. Adjusted financial expenses amounted to $70 million in the second quarter, compared to $96 million in the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to $139 million in the half year period compared to $177 million last year. The lower financial expenses were mainly due to lower hedging costs on exchange rates, the net effect of lower Israeli CPI on the ILS-denominated, CPI-linked bonds (in the half year period) and steps taken by the Company's management to optimize the Company's financing structure. These steps included taking advantage of the high interest rate environment to increase interest received from weekly bank deposits designated to support working capital, as well as improving financing terms and leveraged group funding possibilities by taking long-term RMB denominated loans at attractive rates, which minimized the increase in bank interest expenses paid. Adjusted taxes on income in the second quarter amounted to tax expenses of $43 million, compared to a tax income of $8 million in the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to an expense of $55 million in the half year period compared to a tax income of $10 million last year. Despite reaching losses before tax, the Company recorded tax expenses mainly because the losses were primarily incurred by subsidiaries with relatively lower tax rates, while some of them did not create deferred tax assets on the losses. On the other hand, the subsidiaries that generated profit have a higher tax rate. In the first half of 2024 the company recorded tax expenses due to the non-cash impact of the weakness of the BRL compared with tax income due to stronger BRL in the first half of 2023. Net loss reported in the second quarter was $94 million and $126 million in the half-year period, compared to a net loss of $46 million and $34 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively. Adjusted net loss in the second quarter was $61 million and $71 million in the half-year period, compared to a net loss of $41 million and $20 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively. Trade working capital as of June 30, 2024, was $2,289 million compared to $2,844 million as of June 30, 2023. Inventory held by the Company continued to decline from the end of 2023, including inventory of finished goods, and reached $1,728 million as of June 30, 2024, in comparison to $2,307 million as of June 30, 2023. The decrease in working capital was following the Company's implementation of initiatives, part of the Company's transformation plan, improved payable terms. The decrease in receivables reflected the intensive collections as well as the lower sales. Cash Flow: Operating cash flow of $347 million and $243 million was generated in the second quarter and first half year period in 2024 respectively, compared to $405 million generated in the second quarter and $19 million consumed in the half year period in 2023. The operating cash flow was significantly improved in the first half year of 2024 due to the company maintaining strict procurement practices, intensive collections and an improvement in supplier terms, reflecting initial implementation of initiatives taken as part of the company's transformation plan. In the second quarter we see a decrease in operating cash flow, reflecting the high benchmark in Q2 2023 following the significant decrease in procurement in that quarter. Net cash used in investing activities was $48 million in the second quarter and $115 million in the first half period in 2024, compared to $69 million and $162 million in the corresponding periods last year, respectively. The lower cash used in investing activities in the second quarter and first half of 2024 reflected the prioritization of fixed asset investments in its manufacturing facilities as well as optimization of the company's portfolio, part of the implementation of the Company's transformation plan, reflected in prioritization of investments in intangible assets relating to ADAMA's global registrations. It should be noted that in the first quarter of 2023 the company completed the acquisition of AgriNova New Zealand. Free cash flow of $245 million was generated in the second quarter and $51 million generated in the half-year period compared to $288 million generated in the second quarter and $254 million consumed in the corresponding periods last year, respectively, reflecting the aforementioned operating and investing cash flow dynamics.

Amortization of acquisition-related PPA (non-cash) and other acquisition-related costs: Related mainly to the non-cash amortization of intangible assets created as part of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on acquisitions, with no impact on the ongoing performance of the companies acquired, as well as other M&A-related costs. 2. Amortization of Transfer assets received and written-up due to 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta transaction (non-cash): The proceeds from the Divestment of crop protection products in connection with the approval by the EU Commission of the acquisition of Syngenta by ChemChina, net of taxes and transaction expenses, were paid to Syngenta in return for the transfer of a portfolio of products in Europe of similar nature and economic value. Since the products acquired from Syngenta are of the same nature and with the same net economic value as those divested, and since in 2018 the Company adjusted for the one-time gain that it made on the divested products, the additional amortization charge incurred due to the written-up value of the acquired assets is also adjusted to present a consistent view of Divestment and Transfer transactions, which had no net impact on the underlying economic performance of the Company. These additional amortization charges will continue until 2032 but at a reducing rate, yet will still be at a meaningful level until 2028. 3. Accelerated depreciation: These charges relate to accelerated depreciation attributed to the upgrade & relocation programs in China and Israel, in which production assets located in the old production sites in Huai’An and Beer-Sheva are in relocation process to new sites. Since some older production assets may not be able to be relocated, or are not operational, these are depreciated over a shorter period. 4. Incentive plans: ADAMA granted certain of its employees, a long-term incentive (LTI) in the form of 'phantom' awards linked to the Company’s share price. As such, the Company records an expense, or recognizes income, depending on the fluctuation in the Company’s share price, regardless of award exercises. To neutralize the impact of such share price movements on the measurement of the Company’s performance and expected employee compensation and to reflect the existing phantom awards, in the Company’s adjusted financial performance, the LTI is presented on an equity-settled basis in accordance with the value of the existing plan at the grant date. 5. ASBEs classifications COGS impact: according to the ASBE guidelines [IAS 37], certain items (specifically certain transportation costs) are classified under COGS. 6. ASBEs classifications OPEX impact: according to the ASBE guidelines [IAS 37], certain items (specifically certain transportation costs) are classified under COGS. 7. Measures to improve efficiencies: ADAMA recorded costs due to certain measures initiated to improve efficiencies mainly personnel changes 8. Provisions such as legal claims, registration impairment and update of registration depreciation. 9. Soil cleanup and remediation: a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company filed with Israel's Ministry of Environmental Protection a remediation plan regarding its plant in Be'er Sheva. Following additional discussions between the parties, a final approval to such plan, which is expected to be gradually implemented during the coming years, was received from the Ministry after the date of the financial reports. As a result of the submission of the plan, the Company has made a provision in its financial statements for June 30, 2024 according to its best estimation. 10.
