The Company and the external auditor havepreliminarily communicated regarding relevant matters of the performance estimation, and haveno material disagreement.

III. Explanations for Performance VariationSalesFor the full year of 2023, ADAMA is expecting to report a decline in sales of approximately 8% -17% in RMB terms (12% - 21% in USD terms), compared to the full year of 2022, reflecting lowervolumes and prices as well as the negative impact of exchange rates. The lower sales reflectmarket dynamics of high channel inventories, last-minute purchasing following channeldestocking in light of high interest rates and pressure on crop protection product pricing due tothe lower channel demand and lower active ingredient pricing.

EBITDAIn the full year of 2023, the Company is expecting to report a decrease in EBITDA and its margin,in comparison to the full year of 2022. The decrease in EBITDA is due to the decline in sales, asdescribed above, high-cost inventory, inventory impairment, the negative impact of exchangerates and despite a decrease in operating expenses and its margin as well as an improvementin the Company's sales mix of higher margin products. In response to the market conditions theCompany has taken active measures to manage its COGS, procurement and OPEX that haveled to a decrease in the level of inventory held and a decrease in operating expenses.

Net LossIn the full year of 2023, the Company is expecting to report Net Loss, compared to Net Incomein the full year of 2022. This is due to lower Operating Profit and an increase in financial expensesin light of higher bank interest expenses due to an increase in interest rates and in short-termloans. These financial expenses were moderated by the lower Israeli CPI.The Company’s reported Net Income (loss) in 2023 is expected to reflect net expenses in respectof certain transitory, non-operational or non-cash items, including mainly:

i. Non-cash, non-recurring provision for asset impairment and income due to revaluation of

put options attributed to minority stake in a subsidiary and holdback release;ii. Non-cash amortization charges in respect of Transfer assets received from Syngenta

related to the 2017 ChemChina-Syngenta acquisition;iii. 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;iv. Company measures to improve efficiencies;v. 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 adjustedfinancial performance, the LTI is presented on an equity-settled basis in accordance withthe value of the existing plan at the grant date.

Excluding the impact of the abovementioned transitory, non-operational or non-cash items, theCompany is expecting to deliver the following:

? Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to shareholders in the full year is expected to be

between RMB (1,513) - (1,870) million, compared to Adjusted net income of RMB 740 millionin the same period last year.? Adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share are expected to be between RMB (0.6493) -

(0.8026) in the full year, compared to last year's earnings per share of RMB 0.3177 in thefull year.
