Key Financial Metrics

Operational Highlights:

• Grains: Soybean revenue up 22% YoY; Corn revenue up 52% YoY. Gross margins improved to 20% (soy) and 21% (corn).
• Sugarcane: Revenue declined 39% YoY due to slower milling pace and lower volumes.
• Cotton: Negative gross margin of 23% for the year due to price declines and cost increases.
• Real Estate: Farm sales revenue dropped 98% YoY to R$ 4.1 million, reflecting a selective monetization strategy.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability Shift: The company reported a Net Loss of R$ 90.0 million for 2026, a significant reversal from the R$ 138.0 million profit in 2025. This was primarily driven by a 98% drop in farm sales gains and higher interest expenses.
• Operational EBITDA Growth: Despite the net loss, Adjusted EBITDA from operations increased 11% to R$ 97.3 million, supported by improved derivatives results (R$ 27.3 million gain vs. R$ 12.3 million loss prior year) and better grain performance.
• Debt Costs: Interest expenses rose 17% to R$ 97.2 million due to higher average debt balances and an increase in the average CDI rate from 12.08% to 14.72%.
• Portfolio Appreciation: The market value of the property portfolio increased 8.2% to R$ 3.34 billion, driven by land maturation and the repossession of 4,092 hectares of Fazenda Rio do Meio.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

2026/27 Crop Outlook: Management adopted a selective planting strategy due to strong El Niño forecasts. The total planted area is estimated at 165,208 hectares (1% lower than prior year).

• Crop Mix Changes: 70% reduction in first-crop cotton; exit from safrinha beans; 5% reduction in soybeans. Conversely, first-crop corn area increases by 22%, and safrinha cotton grows by 36% (mostly irrigated).
• Strategy: Focus on optimizing portfolio composition and risk-return profiles rather than area expansion.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Climate: Exposure to El Niño effects varying by region.
• Market Volatility: High interest rates and volatility in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.
• Real Estate Monetization: Sales are non-linear and selective, creating variability in annual results.

Dividends: Management proposed a dividend distribution of R$ 30.0 million (R$ 0.3012 per share) from the Investment and Expansion Reserve, subject to shareholder approval in October 2026.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Servicing: Verify the sustainability of the R$ 97.2 million interest expense against the R$ 99.3 million Total Adjusted EBITDA in a high-interest environment.
• Real Estate Valuation: Confirm the R$ 3.34 billion portfolio valuation methodology (internal vs. Deloitte's R$ 3.5 billion prior year valuation) and the impact of the Rio do Meio repossession.
• Crop Yield Realization: Monitor the 2026/27 harvest results against estimates, particularly for the expanded corn and irrigated cotton areas under El Niño conditions.
• Derivative Exposure: Review the hedge position (21% of soybeans, 17% of cotton hedged for 26/27) and the impact of the R$ 27.3 million derivative gain on future volatility.
• Cash Flow: Assess the R$ 120.8 million operating cash flow generation relative to the R$ 58.0 million investment outflow and R$ 37.1 million financing outflow.
