II. Pre-audit of the estimated performance

The estimated results of this period are the preliminary estimation of the Company and have not
been audited nor reviewed by certified accountants.

III. Explanations for Performance Variation

Sales
ADAMA is expecting to report sales growth of approximately 24% in RMB terms (22% in USD
terms) in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter last year.
Sales in the first half of 2022 are expected to grow approximately 25% in RMB terms (25% in
USD terms), compared to the same period last year.
The expected strong growth over the quarter and first half period was primarily driven by a
significant, double-digit increase in prices, a trend which started in the third quarter of 2021,
complemented by volume growth and despite the negative impact of exchange rates and supply
challenges. This growth is a reflection of the robust demand in the market resulting from the
elevated global crop prices during the first half of 2022. The Company's performance was
particularly strong in Brazil, where the Company continues to work to strengthen its position within
this growing market, while the Company's sales of raw material and intermediates in China
continued to grow strongly.


EBITDA
In the second quarter and first half period, the Company is expecting to report an increase in
EBITDA and its margin, in comparison to the corresponding periods in 2021. The strong top-line
growth more than compensated for the impacts of higher procurement, production and logistics
costs, exchange rates impacts as well as higher operating costs, which were impacted amongst
other factors by higher inflation.

It should be noted that certain relocation and upgrade 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.



Net Income
The Company is expecting to report an increase in Net Income in the second quarter (215-414
million RMB) and first half period (643-841 million RMB), compared to the same periods last year
following achieving higher Operating Profit and despite a significant increase in financial
expenses due to the high Israeli CPI, elevated securitization expenses attributed to increased
exposure to Brazil and higher hedging costs on exchange rates.

The Company’s reported net income in the second quarter and first half is expected to reflect net
expenses in respect of certain transitory or non-operational and non-cash items, including mainly:

   i.   Non-cash amortization charges in respect of Transfer assets received from Syngenta
        related to the 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta acquisition.

  ii.   Non-cash amortization net charges related to intangible assets created as part of the
        Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) on acquisitions, with no impact on the ongoing
        performance of the companies acquired.

 iii.   Incentive plans: ADAMA granted certain of its employees a long-term incentive (LTI) in
        the form of 'phantom' awards linked to the Company’s share price. As such, the Company
        records an expense, or recognizes income, depending on the fluctuation in the
        Company’s share price, regardless of award exercises. To neutralize the impact of such
       share price movements on the measurement of the Company’s performance and
       expected employee compensation and to reflect the existing phantom awards, in the
       Company’s adjusted financial performance, the LTI is presented on an equity-settled
       basis in accordance with the value of the existing plan at the grant date. During Q2 2022
       the Company recorded expenses due to an increase in the Company's share price.

   Additionally, certain extraordinary charges related largely to a temporary disruption of the
   production of certain products, were adjusted in H1 2021. These charges have significantly
   declined in H1 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 transitory or non-operational and non-cash items,
the Company is expecting to deliver the following:
       Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders in the second quarter is expected to be
       between RMB 399 – 597 million, compared to RMB 410 million in the same period last
       year; Adjusted net income attributable to shareholders in the first half period is expected
       to be between RMB 875 – 1,073 million, compared to RMB 747 million in the same period
       last year;
       Adjusted basic earnings per share in the second quarter is expected to be between RMB
       0.1711 – 0.2562, compared to RMB 0.1759 in the same period last year; Adjusted basic
       earnings per share in the first half period is expected to be between RMB 0.3756 – 0.4607,
       compared to RMB 0.3207 in the same period last year.
