Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., “Bachoco” or “the Company”, (NYSE: IBA) (BMV: Bachoco) announced today its unaudited results for the fourth quarter (“4Q20”) and full year (“2020”) ending on December 31st, 2020. All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) and are presented in nominal million Mexican Pesos (“$”).

HIGHLIGHTS 2020

  • Net sales increased 21.1% in 4Q20 and increased 11.6% in year 2020 vs equivalent periods of 2019.
  • EBITDA margin was 13.4% for 4Q20 and 8.2% for the whole year.
  • Earnings per basic and diluted share totaled $1.22 for 4Q20 and $6.12 for the year.

CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: “2020 was an historically challenging year. We faced unprecedent conditions that tested our capabilities for adapting fast to new market conditions while being efficient. Despite the uncertainty that brought this year, our solid financial structure and our operating discipline allowed us to end 2020 with positive results in terms of profitability while attending all our markets.

During the last quarter of 2020, we observed some adjustments in demand as a result of remaining lockdown conditions, in some sectors. However, we consider that the industry was as well in line with that reading, allowing a good balance between supply and demand which resulted in competitive prices for this time frame.

On the other hand, in the U.S., we kept observing challenging conditions that continued to negative affect commodity prices particularly on white meat and leg quarters.

As a result of the aforementioned conditions, we reported an increase in total sales of 21.1% in 4Q20 when compared to 4Q19. For the full year, we reached an increase of 11.6% vs 2019. This was a result of higher prices in our main business lines as well as more volume sold in our Others segment.

Regarding cost of sales, during 4Q20 we started to observe some of the negative effects of the increase in grain and soybean meal prices. However, efficiencies in our productive processes allowed us to partially offset some of that increase.

In terms of volume sold, our Others segment, particularly swine, reached an important increase for the quarter when compared to the same period of 2019 driven by the integration of SASA.

Our EBITDA was $2,451.3 million which is $1,940.2 million higher than the EBITDA of the same quarter of 2019. For the fourth quarter, our EBITDA margin was 13.4% and our earnings per basic and diluted share was $1.22.

For the full year of 2020, we continued delivering positive results. We increased total sales by 11.6%, with an EBITDA margin of 8.2% and earnings per share of $6.12.

Our financial structure remained solid and allowed us to keep with our growth plans even under the uncertain conditions observed in 2020. Our CAPEX for the year was $2,305.9 million which is 11.4% higher than the amount invested in 2019. This with a net cash position of $16,529.9 million.

Particularly under this difficult time that the world is facing, we continue to be very focused on safely serving our markets and customers as we are aware that we play an important role in the nourishment of our consumers as well as in the family’s economy of our collaborators."
