Lavoro Reports First-Half Fiscal 2023 Results and Provides Full Year 2023 Guidance

  • On February 28, 2023, Lavoro and TPB Acquisition Corp. I completed the previously announced business combination and Lavoro began trading on the Nasdaq under “LVRO” on March 1, 2023.

  • Combined revenue increased 45% to $1.0 billion in the first half fiscal 2023 ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the first half fiscal 2022 driven primarily by the increase of agricultural retail sales, reflecting Lavoro’s organic and inorganic expansion, and the sales increase from the Company’s private label products.

  • First half fiscal 2023 combined pro forma net revenue increased 26% to $1.1 billion. Pro forma revenue growth assumes Lavoro owned its acquired companies for the complete current and prior periods for comparison purposes.

  • Gross margin expanded 300 basis points to 20.4%, driven primarily by the strong growth of Crop Care’s revenue and its higher contribution to Lavoro’s sales mix, procurement synergies achieved through our recently acquired companies, price mix improvement, and sales growth of higher-margin products.

  • Profit increased 68% to $50 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 88% to $118.5 million.

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, April 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO; LVROW), the first U.S.-listed pure-play agricultural inputs distributor in Latin America, today announced its financial results for the first half fiscal 2023 period ended December 31, 2022, and provided the full fiscal year 2023 guidance.

Ruy Cunha, Chief Executive Officer of Lavoro, commented, “Lavoro is the first and only Latin American agricultural input retailer pure play on the U.S. exchanges and we are very excited to embark on this journey following the closing of our business combination. Lavoro is the largest agriculture input retailer in Brazil, yet we believe we only have approximately 10% share of the Brazilian market, which presents a tremendous long-term opportunity that we intend to capitalize on. The financial profile of our business is compelling – driven by a combination of consistent organic growth that is supplemented by a proven M&A consolidation strategy. These high growth rates, when coupled with the inherent margin advantages we enjoy from our vertically integrated Crop Care solutions business and future penetration of other adjacent services, create an attractive recipe for significant margin expansion in the years ahead. Combined, we expect to compound adjusted EBITDA growth at rates that are well beyond our revenue growth.”

First-Half Fiscal 2023 Highlights, as Compared to First-Half Fiscal 2022

  • During the first half of fiscal 2023, Lavoro continued to execute its agricultural input retailer M&A strategy with four closed acquisitions: (i) Floema, a leader in the segment in its region, specialized in crop protection, plant nutrition, and physiology, (ii) Casa Trevo and CATR, well-established companies from South Brazil, (iii) Provecampo, which operates in Colombia, a region where Lavoro intends to leverage its market share, and (iv) Sollo Sul, a traditional company from South Brazil, that serves more than 5,000 clients.

  • Additionally, on August 25, 2022, Lavoro announced the execution of an agreement for the acquisition of 82% interest in NS Agro, a holding company of agricultural inputs retailers in Chile and Peru, specializing in crop protection and fertilizers. NS Agro marks Lavoro’s entry into the Chilean and Peruvian markets.

  • On October 21, 2022, Lavoro entered into a multiyear partnership with soil metagenomics and digital agronomy leader Pattern Ag to offer farmers in Brazil a groundbreaking service that will predict crop risks and nutrient deficiencies and offer specific product recommendations through a personalized software experience.

  • Combined revenue increased 45% to $1.0 billion driven primarily by the increase of agricultural retail sales, reflecting Lavoro’s organic and inorganic expansion, and the sales increase from Crop Care.

  • Gross profit increased 70% to $213.1 million, and gross margin expanded 300 basis points to 20.4%, mainly driven by Crop Care’s revenue growth and its higher contribution to Lavoro’s sales mix, procurement synergies achieved by recently acquired companies, price mix improvement, and growth in sales of higher-margin products.

  • Profit increased 68% to $50 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 88% to $118.5 million.

  • As of December 31, 2022, Lavoro’s footprint included 215 stores, and around 1,000 RTVs, servicing more than 72,000 clients.

Profit for the period50.0 29.8 67.8%
Net Margin %4.8% 4.1% 0.7 p.p.


  • Revenue grew 45% to $1.0 billion. Growth was primarily driven by the increase in agricultural retail sales, reflecting Lavoro’s organic and inorganic expansion, and the sales increase from the Company’s private label products. Net revenue /RTV was approximately $1 million in the first half fiscal 2023.

  • Gross margin expanded by 300 basis points to 20.4% and was primarily attributable to (i) Cop Care’s revenues growth and its higher contribution to Lavoro’s sales mix, (ii) procurement synergies, mainly through recently acquired companies, (iii) favorable product mix, due to the sales of higher-margin products, as seeds and specialties and (iv) improvements on price mix.

  • Operating expenses were $111.1 million and grew primarily due to (i) hiring of new RTVs, (ii) opening of new greenfield stores, which are still maturing, and (iii) the company's strategy of strengthening its corporate structure and back-office, aiming to enhance corporate controls, absorb the strong M&A activity and sustain geographic expansion.

  • Profit increased 68% to $50 million. Net margin came to 4.8% up 0.7 p.p over 1H22. The result was partially impacted by higher finance costs in the period, chiefly driven by the increase in interest on borrowings, mainly due to higher borrowing levels and credit rights, as well as the increase in basic interest rates in Brazil.

  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 88% to $118.5 and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 2.6 p.p. to 11.4% driven by a combination of organic growth from the distribution operations (Brazil and LATAM Clusters), higher contribution from Crop Care on combined results, and the addition of four acquired companies.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin. A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flow that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable IFRS measure. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company's management to evaluate the Company's performance, and provide additional information about trends in our operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on our results, as well as the effects of certain items or events that vary widely among similar companies, and therefore may hamper comparability across periods, although these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS. Management believes that these measures enhance a reader's understanding of the operating and financial performance of the Company and facilitate a better comparison between fiscal periods. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period, adjusted for finance income (cost), net, income taxes current and deferred, depreciation and amortization, M&A expenses that in management’s judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular basis, fair value of inventories sold from acquired companies, minus gain on bargain purchases, to provide further meaningful information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the period. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as pro forma profit for the period, adjusted for pro forma finance income (costs), net, pro forma income taxes current and deferred, pro forma depreciation and amortization, fair value on inventories sold from acquired companies, and M&A expenses that in management’s judgment do not necessarily occur on a regular basis, minus gain on bargain purchases. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of pro forma revenue for the period.

The Company does not intend for the non-IFRS financial measures contained in this release to be a substitute for any IFRS financial information. Readers of this press release should use these non-IFRS financial measures only in conjunction with comparable IFRS financial measures. Reconciliations of the non-IFRS financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA, and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, to their most comparable IFRS measures, are provided in the table below.

About Lavoro

Lavoro is Brazil’s largest agricultural inputs retailer and a leading provider of agriculture biologics inputs. Through a comprehensive portfolio, we believe Lavoro empowers farmers to adopt breakthrough technology and boost productivity. Founded in 2017, Lavoro has a broad geographical presence, with distribution operations in Brazil and Colombia, and an emergent agricultural input trading company in Uruguay. Lavoro has around 1,000 technical sales representatives (RTVs), which meet with more than 72,000 customers on farms and at 215 retail locations multiple times per year to help them plan, purchase the right inputs, and manage their farming operations to optimize outcomes. Learn more about Lavoro at ir.lavoroagro.com.

Reportable Segments

Lavoro’s reportable segments are the following:

Brazil Cluster: comprises companies dedicated to the distribution of agricultural inputs such as crop protection, seeds, fertilizers and specialty products, in Brazil.

LATAM Cluster: includes companies dedicated to the distribution of agricultural inputs outside Brazil (currently primarily in Colombia).

Crop Care Cluster: includes companies that produce and import our own portfolio of private label products including off-patent crop protection and specialty products (e.g., biologicals and specialty fertilizers).

Lavoro’s Fiscal Year

Lavoro follows the crop year, which means that its fiscal year comprises July 1st of each year, until June 30th of the following year. Given this, Lavoro’s quarters have the following format:

1Q – quarter starting on July 1 and ending on September 30.
2Q – quarter starting on October 1 and ending on December 31.
3Q – quarter starting on January 1 and ending on March 31.
4Q – quarter starting on April 1 and ending on June 30.

Seasonality

Agribusiness is subject to a relevant 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 substantial 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 strongest between October and December, with a second period of strong demand between January and March. The seasonality of agricultural inputs demand results in our sales volumes and net sales typically being the highest during the South American spring season and our working capital requirements typically being the highest just after the end of the spring season
For this reason, we observe during soybean crop year a high amount of trade receivables and trade payables that will be settled between April and May. Therefore, there is an increase of the advances in general.

Definitions

RTVs: refer to Lavoro’s technical sales representatives (Representante Técnico de Vendas), who are linked to its retail stores, and who develop commercial relationships with farmers.

Net Revenue / RTV: Net revenue per RTV. Considering the distribution net revenue from Brazil and LATAM Clusters.
