Reason for retroactive adjustments: According to ASBE 22 - Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement,
starting from 2022 the Group recorded the gain or loss from the disposal of derivative instruments in the “Gain(loss) from
Changes in Fair Value”. Before 2022, the Group recorded the abovementioned gain of loss in the “Investment income,
net”. The Company reclassified the “Gain(loss) from Changes in Fair Value” and the “Investment income, net” in the
corresponding period in 2021. Such change has no impact on the operating results or net assets.

General Crop Protection Market Environment
Preliminary projections estimate the global crop protection industry to increase by 14.5% in 20221. High crop prices
incentivized another year of increases in global planted areas, which drove higher crop protection volumes as well as by
higher pricing.

Crop prices remain elevated above historic averages despite decreasing somewhat in the last two quarters, after reaching
historically high levels in Q1 2022. Prices are expected to remain elevated into 2023, supported by key fundamentals
including very low stocks, unfavorable weather conditions in the Americas and parts of Europe and continued supply
disruptions exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine as well as the energy crisis in Europe. However, weaker economic
conditions and broad-based monetary tightening could weigh on consumer demand, softening prices further.

Farmer profitability continues to face pressures from high production costs, mainly from high fertilizer prices, driven by a
surge in energy costs and the application of international economic sanctions to Russia and Belarus (both large fertilizer
exporters), as well as supply disruption and tight availability caused by the conflict in Ukraine. Despite this, farming activities
are nevertheless still very profitable in most regions.

Crude oil prices continued to decline in the third quarter of 2022 from the peak levels reached in the first quarter of 2022,
mainly due to concerns regarding the global economic outlook. Prices are, however, expected to remain elevated into the
fourth quarter of 2022 and beyond, due to low global inventory levels, uncertainty of Russia’s oil exports as well as the
OPEC+ decision to further limit oil production.

European gas prices and indirectly Asian spot LNG prices reached record highs in the third quarter of 2022 following the
sharp decline in Russian gas flows to Europe and a tight energy market. Meanwhile, prices in the United States reached
their highest summer levels since 2008.

Global container freight rates have dropped significantly in the third quarter of 2022, driven by a further weakening in
demand in the light of high inflation and slower-than-expected economic growth, easing port congestion. A large amount
of scheduled new deliveries of container vessel capacity, starting from the end of 2022, is expected to further soften port
congestion and put container shipping rates under pressure.

Prices for raw materials, intermediates and active ingredients reached peak levels towards the end of 2021; however,
since then there has been a general softening of prices in China and an increase in prices of such products in other
geographies. With strong global crop protection demand, and supply shortages driven by the energy crisis in Europe and
the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as well as the ongoing "Zero COVID" policy in China, overall prices are expected to remain
above levels in recent years. In China, an increase in production capacity and an ease in logistic disruptions led to softening
of prices of many key raw materials, intermediates and active ingredients from China. In other geographies cost inflation,
energy prices, supply shortages and logistic challenges are driving procurement prices upward and impacting availability
of raw materials and intermediates.

Note: Since the functional currency of main overseas subsidiaries is the USD, and the Company’s management review of
the Company’s performance is based on the USD results, following explanations and analysis are based on USD-
denominated numbers as listed above.


Analysis of Financial Highlights
(1)     Revenues
        Revenues in the third quarter grew by 18% (+25% in RMB terms; +24% in constant exchange rates (CER) terms)
        to $1,359 million, driven by a significant 18% increase in prices, a trend which started in the third quarter of 2021.
        The markedly higher prices were complemented by continued volume growth (+6%), and achieved despite supply
        challenges in certain markets, and the adverse impact of exchange rate movements in many regions. The Company
        achieved growth in sales in constant exchange rates across most regions.
        The accelerated growth in the quarter brought the first nine months sales to a record-high of $4,258 million, an
        increase of 22% (+25% in RMB terms; +26% in CER terms) driven by a 19% increase in prices and an 7% growth
        in volume.

Europe: Increase in sales in the third quarter in constant exchange rate terms following distributors securing inventory
for the autumn season in the UK, Czech Republic, France, Romania, Benelux and Baltics. This growth in constant
exchange rate terms was achieved despite drought conditions across European countries such as Spain, France, Italy
and Germany impacting demand, as well as supply issues, high channel inventories in some countries and a loss of
sales due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

North America: In the US Ag market, sales decreased in the third quarter as the Company was negatively impacted by
the record low harvest of cotton as farmers abandoned non-irrigated fields due to extreme drought conditions across
Texas and other southwest regions. Drought in California continued to impact demand. With the North American market
in the midst of harvest season, renewed demand for crop protection is expected in anticipation of the upcoming Q1 2023
planting season.

Very strong growth in sales in Canada enabled by the in-house production of cereal herbicide which supported the cereal
season before harvest.

The Consumer & Professional business presented slower sales in the quarter. On the professional side, initial market
price reductions, high levels of inventory in the channel and anticipation of decreases in costs of goods led to a slowdown
in the market. On the consumer side, inflationary pressures are softening overall market demand.

                                                                                                                              7

Latin America: Strong growth in sales in Brazil, driven by prices and volume supporting the anticipated soybean, corn,
sugarcane and cotton fourth quarter crop seasons; sales which in 2021 were also included in the fourth quarter.

In other LATAM countries the higher sales reflect the strong demand across the region and were achieved despite some
adverse weather conditions and inventory in the channel.

Asia Pacific: The Company's strong growth in Asia Pacific was led by the sales of raw material, intermediates and fine
chemicals in China, driven by continued strong demand, in light of the strong global demand for crop protection and
achieved despite an ease in fine chemical prices. The sales in China of ADAMA's branded portfolio also continued to
grow nicely, despite the strong competition in the market.

In the wider APAC region, growth in sales in the quarter was also achieved led by strong sales in Asian countries such
as Thailand, Korea and Indonesia due to favorable seasonal conditions and with the return of face-to-face business post-
COVID. In the Pacific region fungicide sales grew nicely following favorable seasonal conditions. This growth was
achieved despite high channel inventories in parts of Asia.

India, Middle East and Africa: Sales in the third quarter were led by India and represent the peak season for sales in
this country due to the monsoon season. Despite this, heavy rainfall negatively impacted insecticide and fungicide sales
in certain crops and overall sales were also impacted by some supply constraints.

(2)    Cost of Goods and Gross Profit
       In the reported results, as of Q4 2021, following recent changes in the guidelines in China, the transportations costs
       to third parties and its marketing subsidiaries and opex idleness have been reclassified from operating expenses to
       costs of goods (not impacting the operating results), while these expenses were not recorded in the cost of goods
       in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, but rather in the operating expenses.
       Additionally, certain extraordinary charges related largely to a temporary disruption of the production of certain
       products were adjusted in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021. These charges have significantly declined
       since Q1 2022, as the relocation and upgrade of the manufacturing Jingzhou site in China has been completed and
       is now at a high level of operation.
       Excluding the impact of the abovementioned items, the higher gross profit was mainly driven by the markedly higher
       prices, complemented by continued volume growth, which offset the higher logistic, procurement and production
       costs, as well as the negative impact of exchange rates.


(3)    Operating Expenses:
       Operating expenses include Sales and Marketing, General and Administration and R&D.
       Please refer to the explanation above regarding the reclassification of certain transportation costs and idleness from
       operating expenses to COGs.
       Additionally, the Company recorded certain non-operational charges within its operating expenses amounting to
       RMB 20 million ($ 3 million) in Q3 2022 in comparison to RMB 41 million ($ 6 million) in Q3 2021, and RMB 202
       million ($ 31 million) in 9M 2022 in comparison to RMB 210 million ($ 32 million) in 9M 2021, mainly as follows:
       (i) Non-cash amortization charges in respect of Transfer assets received and written-up related to the 2017
       ChemChina-Syngenta acquisition. The proceeds from the Divestment of crop protection products in connection with
       the approval by the EU Commission of the acquisition of Syngenta by ChemChina, net of taxes and transaction
       expenses, were paid to Syngenta in return for the transfer of a portfolio of products in Europe of similar nature and
       economic value. Since the products acquired from Syngenta are of the same nature, and with the same net
       economic value as those divested, the Divestment and Transfer transactions had no net impact on the underlying
       economic performance of the Company. These additional amortization charges will continue until 2032 but at a

                                                                                                                           8
ADAMA Ltd.                                                                                         Third Quarter Report 2022


      reducing rate, yet will still be at a meaningful level until 2028; (ii) Charges related mainly to the non-cash amortization
      of intangible assets created as part of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on acquisitions, with no impact on the
      ongoing performance of the companies acquired; and (iii) Incentive plans - share-based compensation.
      Excluding the impact of the abovementioned non-operational charges, the higher operating expenses in the quarter
      and first nine months reflect the strong growth of the business, higher transportation and logistics costs driven by
      both an increase in freight costs and volumes transported, an increase in expenses attributed to company success-
      based employee compensation, the inclusion of a recent acquisition (in the nine-month period) and moderated by
      the positive impact of exchange rates.
      In addition, in the first quarter of 2022 the Company recorded a doubtful debt provision for trade receivables in
      Ukraine.



(4)   Financial Expenses
      “Financial Expenses” alone mainly reflect interest payments on corporate bonds and bank loans as well as foreign
      exchange gains/losses on the bonds and other monetary assets and liabilities before the Company carries out any
      hedging.
      The impact of Financial Expenses (before hedging) is an expense of RMB 132 million ($15 million) for the nine
      months of 2022 compared with an expense of RMB 1,108 million ($171 million) for the corresponding period in
      2021.
      Given the global nature of its operational activities and the composition of its assets and liabilities, the Company, in
      the ordinary course of its business, uses foreign currency derivatives (forwards and options) to hedge the cash flow
      risks associated with existing monetary assets and liabilities that may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
      The impact of the hedging transactions which is recorded in “Gains/Losses from Changes in Fair Value” is a net
      loss of RMB 1,365 million ($210 million) in the nine months of 2022 compared with a net gain of RMB 174 million
      ($27 million) in the corresponding period in 2021.
      The aggregate of Financial Expenses and Gains/Losses from Changes in Fair Value (hereinafter as “Total Net
      Financial Expenses”), which more comprehensively reflects the financial expenses of the Company in supporting
      its main business and protecting its monetary assets/liabilities, amounts to RMB 1,497 million ($226 million) in the
      nine months of 2022 compared with RMB 934 million ($145 million) in the corresponding period in 2021.
      The higher financial expenses were mainly driven by the net effect of the high Israeli CPI on the ILS-denominated,
      CPI-linked bonds and higher hedging costs on exchange rates. In the nine-month period in 2022, these expenses
      also included the valuation of put options attributed to minority stakes of a subsidiary fully consolidated from Q3
      2021.


(5)   Income Tax Expenses
      In 2022, the Company recognized a higher deferred tax asset, related to inter-group sales, that led to a decline in
      the tax on income.
      The significantly higher tax expenses in the third quarter of 2021 reflected the high growth in end-market sales,
      which incur higher tax rates, as well as the impact of a significantly weaker BRL on non-monetary tax assets.
