Subdued outlook for 2024|25 after solid EBIT in 2023|24

Dividend proposal of EUR 0.90 per share for the 2023|24 financial year

Based on provisional results, AGRANA generated operating profit (EBIT) of EUR
151.0 million in its 2023|24 financial year (1 March 2023 to 29 February
2024), which is in line with its guidance of a very significant improvement
compared to the prior year (2022|23: EUR 88.3 million). Earnings per share
rose to EUR 1.04 (prior year: EUR 0.25). Consolidated revenue amounted to EUR
3,786.9 million (prior year: EUR 3,637.4 million).

As previously communicated in the Q3 results published in January 2024,
AGRANA sees itself confronted with an increasingly challenging business
environment since the fourth quarter of 2023|24 and forecasts EBIT for the
2024|25 financial year which will be significantly below the comparable
figure in 2023|24. This decline in results will already become apparent in
the first quarter of 2024|25.

The Management Board of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG has today also decided -
subject to a corresponding resolution passed by the Supervisory Board - to
propose a dividend payout in the amount of EUR 0.90 per share for the 2023|24
financial year (dividend for 2022|23: EUR 0.90 per share) to the 37th Annual
General Meeting to be held on 5 July 2024. This corresponds to a dividend
yield of 6.7 % based on the closing price on the balance sheet date (29
February 2024).

The publication of the Annual Report 2023|24 and all the details relating to
the annual results for 2023|24 and to the outlook for 2024|25 will take
place as scheduled on 14 May 2024.
