Industrias Bachoco Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results

Celaya, Gto., Mexico, - October 26, 2009 - Industrias Bachoco S.A.B. de C.V. (“Bachoco” or “the Company”) (NYSE: IBA; BMV: Bachoco), Mexico’s leading producer and processor of poultry products, announced today its unaudited results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2009. All figures have been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP. In line with the Mexican Accounting Principles, data is presented in nominal Mexican pesos.

Highlights:
 
·
During the quarter total sales increased 19.3% over the 3Q08.
 
·
The Company achieved a positive EBITDA margin of 3.6% compared with a negative result of 2.0% in the same year-ago quarter.
 
·
Prices increased across the board for all of Bachoco’s main business lines.
 
·
Earnings per ADS for the first nine months reached $1.36 USD compared to $0.48 USD for the same period of 2008. The result per ADS for 3Q09 even when negative at $0.08 USD was better than the same year-ago period.

CEO’s Comments:

Cristóbal Mondragón, Bachoco’s CEO, stated, “During the third quarter, the Mexican economy continued to slow down, affecting the purchasing power of Mexican consumers, and, consequently, we saw a weaker demand for our products when compared with the second quarter.

In particular, the Mexican poultry industry was affected by higher raw materials costs, mainly those of soybean meal, following the trends in the commodity market. The slowdown in the economy did not allow us to fully transfer the costs increases to our products’ prices. In addition, it is worth noting that traditionally this quarter is the weakest of the year.

“Despite this condition, we managed to increase our total sales and were able to reach positive operating results. We continued implementing our growth plans through the integration of several business agreements reached during the quarter, with which we expect to strength our leadership position in the Mexican poultry industry.

“Finally, our financial position remained strong, we generated a good level cash and our indebtedness level remained low,” concluded Mr. Mondragón.

THIRD QUARTER 2009 RESULTS

Net Sales
Net sales for the third quarter amounted to Ps. 5,613.6 million, 19.3% above the Ps. 4,704.5 million reported in 3Q08. This increase was mainly driven by a 24.7% increase in chicken sales, 1.7% increase in table eggs sales, and 7.3% increase in swine sales, but was partially offset by a 2.7% decrease in balance feed sales.

Operating Results
Bachoco’s third quarter gross margin was 12.0%, higher than the 7.5% reached in the same quarter of 2008. The increase in the gross margin is attributed to the 16.0% increase in sale prices, which were partially offset by a 13.4% increase in the cost of sales.

The Company had an operating profit of Ps. 35.3 million, compared to an operating loss of Ps. 243.6 million in the same quarter of 2008. The operating margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 0.62%.

The EBITDA result was Ps. 200.7 million, compared with a negative EBITDA result reported in the same quarter last year of Ps. 92.7 million.

Taxes
Total taxes recognized for the third quarter were Ps. 11.8 million.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Chicken
Sales of chicken products increased 24.7% as chicken prices rose 14.3% and the volume grew 9.1%. Even when the result was positive, this business line was sharply affected by the pressure of chicken prices, decreasing significantly from 2Q09, mainly due to a weaker demand in the industry.

 

 

-3-

Table Eggs
Demand for table egg products was strong; sales of table eggs increased by 1.7% during the third quarter as egg prices rose 2.5% from the previous year. The result was partially offset by a slight volume decrease of 0.8% directly attributed to an adjustment in the Company’s production.

Balanced Feed
Sales of balanced feed decreased by 2.7%, mainly due to a 9.1% increase in prices, which was partially offset by a 10.8% decrease in balance feed volume. This business line was directly affected by higher grain costs.

Swine
The swine business line was stable during the third quarter, swine sales rose 7.3% as a result of a 2.0% increase in swine prices and a 5.2% increase in swine volumes when compared to the same period of 2008.

Other Lines
Sales of other lines increased 13.8% when compared with 3Q08. The main products sold were by-product sales, such as poultry manure.

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2009
Net Sales

The increase was mainly driven by the 24.2% increase in chicken sales, 13.8% in table eggs sales, 15.3% in swine sales and 0.2% increase in balanced feed sales.
