  • C O R P O R AT E P R O F I L E

    We are a leading agri-food company that produces multiple protein foods, with operations in five high-growth emerging Asian markets. We have, over 40 years, developed core competencies across the agri-food value chain, including animal feed production, animal breeding, livestock fattening and consumer food.

    We are a market leader across multiple classes of protein foods, with an emphasis on milk, poultry and beef, complemented by growing businesses in swine and aquaculture. In Indonesia, we are one of the two largest producers of poultry, and we have replicated our industrialized, vertically integrated business model for poultry production in Vietnam, India and Myanmar. In China, we successfully replicated our Indonesian dairy business and are, today, one of a small group of leading producers of premium milk that is of the highest quality available in the market and that commands premium prices in China.

    Given the growing affluence of the populations in our target middle- and lower-income consumer groups, we expect protein food consumption in these markets to

    rise. We intend to capitalize on this trend by increasing our production capabilities for premium milk and animal proteins across our markets.

    We have an industrialized approach to farming and food production. This allows us to consistently produce high-quality proteins and to replicate our business model as we expand our existing protein operations in and across our existing markets.

    In addition, the vertical integration of our animal protein business from animal feed production to breeding and commercial farming to slaughtering and food processing creates more opportunities to capture value at different points in the value chain. It also provides us with greater food security and traceability, which is important as we grow our downstream consumer food brands.

    We leverage the high quality of our raw materials to produce premium and mass market consumer branded food products under leading brands such as So Good and Greenfields.

  • from continuing operations excluding increases in fair value of biological assets, net of tax arenot measurements of financial performance or liquidity under FRS and should not beconsidered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performancemeasures derived in accordance with FRS or as an alternative to cash flow from operatingactivities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA and profit from continuing operationsexcluding increases in fair value of biological assets, net of tax are not standardized terms,hence a direct comparison between companies using such terms may not be possible.

    We believe that EBITDA facilitates comparisons of operating performance from period toperiod and company to company by eliminating potential differences caused by variations incapital structures (affecting interest expense and finance charges), tax positions (such as theimpact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), theage and accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets (affecting relative depreciationand amortization of expense), variations in fair value of biological assets, and foreignexchange gains or losses. EBITDA has been presented because we believe that it isfrequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluatingsimilar companies, many of whom present such non-GAAP financial measures whenreporting their results. Nevertheless, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and youshould not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our financialcondition or results of operations, as reported under FRS. Because of these limitations,EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest inthe growth of our business.

    We believe that the inclusion of profit from continuing operations excluding increases in fairvalue of biological assets, net of tax as profit is useful to investors because it provides ameans of evaluating our Groups operating performance and results from period to period ona comparable basis not otherwise apparent when the impact of the changes in fair value ofbiological assets under FRS 41 is included. Profit from continuing operations excludingincreases in fair value of biological assets, net of tax is not a standard measure under FRSand has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation from, oras a substitute for analysis of, our financial condition or results of operations, as reportedunder FRS.

    OVERVIEW

    We are a leading agri-food company that produces multiple protein foods, with operations infive high-growth emerging Asian markets. We have, over 40 years, developed corecompetencies across the agri-food value chain, including animal feed production, animalbreeding, livestock fattening and consumer food.

    We are a market leader across multiple classes of protein foods, with an emphasis on milk,poultry and beef, complemented by growing businesses in swine and aquaculture. InIndonesia, we are one of the two largest producers of poultry, with over 40 years ofexperience, and we currently produce approximately 1.5 million day-old chicks (DOCs) perday. We have replicated our industrialized, vertically integrated business model for poultryproduction in Vietnam, India and Myanmar. In China, we successfully replicated ourIndonesian dairy business and are, today, one of a small group of leading producers ofpremium milk that is of the highest quality available in the market and that commandspremium prices in China. Given the growing affluence of the populations in our target middle-and lower- income consumer groups, we expect protein food consumption in these markets torise. We intend to capitalize on this trend by increasing our production capabilities forpremium milk and animal proteins across our markets.

    We have an industrialized approach to farming and food production. This allows us toconsistently produce high-quality proteins and to replicate our business model as we expandour existing protein operations in and across our existing markets. In addition, the verticalintegration of our animal protein business from animal feed production to breeding andcommercial farming to slaughtering and food processing creates more opportunities tocapture value at different points in the value chain. It also provides us with greater foodsecurity and traceability, which is important as we grow our downstream consumer foodbrands.

    We leverage the high quality of our raw materials to produce premium and mass marketconsumer branded food products under leading brands such as So Good and Greenfields.

For the calculation of EBITDA, see Summary CombinedFinancial Information and Other Information.

    Dairy

    We produce premium raw milk in China and Indonesia that rates at the top of each market interms of both quality and price. In China, we focus on producing premium raw milk that wesell to leading dairies in China at premium prices. There is a substantial shortfall in the supplyof premium milk in China, as highlighted by several food safety scandals in recent years, andwe believe that we are well positioned to benefit from this shortfall and from the expectedgrowth in dairy consumption in that market. In Indonesia, we use all of our premium raw milkin our downstream consumer dairy businesses to produce premium dairy products, inparticular premium fresh milk, marketed under our Greenfields brand to consumers inIndonesia and other countries in Asia.

    We operate a five-farm hub of dairy farms in China, with four of the farms in the operationalstage. We expect construction of the fifth farm to be completed by the end of 2014, with milkproduction commencing in early 2015. We build our dairy farms pursuant to an industrializedmodel of approximately 10,000 to 12,000 heads of cattle per farm. Each dairy farm isstandardized and replicable across locations and jurisdictions. In total, we investedapproximately US$300 million to build our first five-farm hub in Shandong. Our farms are partof a small number of very large-scale farms in the PRC. According to the Industry Consultant,as of 2013, large-scale farms (farms housing more than 1,000 heads of cattle) comprise15.1% of the cattle population in the PRC. We sell our premium raw milk to some of theleading dairy companies in China for their use in the production of premium fresh milk andother dairy products. Our farms in China are located in Shandong province, and as ofDecember 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, we had approximately 40,700 and 41,800 heads ofdairy cattle in China, with approximately 14,500 and 16,700 milking cows, respectively. Weproduced over 130,000 tons of milk in China in 2013, and our average milk yield per milkingcow for 2013 was 11.5 tons per annum. Our premium raw milk in China is consistently at thetop of the market in terms of quality, consistently exceeding Chinese and internationalstandards for nutrition and safety. The quality of our raw milk is also reflected in its sellingprice. In 2013, the average selling price of our milk was RMB 4.51 per kilogram, which wasapproximately 25% higher than the average price of milk from ten major milk production

    3

  • regions in China, according to the China Ministry of Agriculture1. In the first three months of2014, the average price of our milk reached RMB 5.25 per kilogram. See BusinessOurDairy SegmentIntroduction.

    We intend to expand our China dairy business and grow the number of our dairy farms inChina, commencing with the construction of another five-farm hub in Inner Mongolia. Wehave entered into a framework agreement with the Chifeng City Government of InnerMongolia for the construction of this new five-farm hub, and we intend to begin constructionon the first additional farm before the end of 2014 and to complete the second five-farm hubin 2018, which would bring our total herd size in China to approximately 120,000 heads ofcattle. On July 12, 2014, we entered into conditional lease agreements with local townshipgovernments in Chifeng City for the construction of farms at two sites in Chifeng.

    In Indonesia we operate a vertically integrated dairy business. We operate an industrializeddairy farm to produce premium raw milk that we use for the production of our owndownstream dairy products, including fresh milk, UHT milk and premium cheeses. We marketand sell our downstream products under our own brands directly to customers in the retailmarket, including to major food and beverage companies such as Starbucks. Our farm inIndonesia is located in Malang, East Java, at an altitude that is conducive to raising high-quality dairy cows, and as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, we had approximately5,800 and 5,700 heads of cattle in Indonesia with approximately 3,000 and 2,900 milkingcows. We produced over 26,000 tons of raw milk in Indonesia in 2013, and our average milkyield per milking cow for 2013 was 9.1 tons per annum. As in China, our raw milk in Indonesiais of premium quality, which is reflected in its nutritional and safety standards, as well as inthe premium quality of and premium pricing for our downstream dairy products and theleading market position of our Greenfields brand. We also export a portion of our downstreamdairy products to our key strategic customers, such as Starbucks and Cold Storage, in othermarkets in Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines. The success of ourvertically integrated Indonesian dairy operations is driving our strategy to increase ourupstream production capacity, and we have purchased land for a second dairy farm in Blitar,East Java, which we expect to be fully operational by the end of 2016.

    As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, we had a total of approximately 46,400 and47,500 heads of dairy cattle respectively, with approximately 17,500 and 19,500 milking cowsrespectively, across our farms in China and Indonesia, compared to approximately 18,300heads of cattle, with approximately 6,400 milking cows as of December 31, 2011.

    Animal Protein

    We produce multiple high-quality animal proteins (poultry, swine, beef and aquaculture), aswell as high-quality animal feed, across our target markets. Our animal protein operations arevertically integrated and cover the entire value chain of animal protein production, from animalfeed to breeding and commercial farming to slaughtering and processing livestock andsupplying the raw materials for our downstream consumer food segment (see BusinessOur Consumer Food Segment).

  • manufacturers in Indonesia, with over 40 years of experience in poultry production, and in2013 we had a domestic market share of 25% by production capacity of DOCs and 22% byvolume of animal feed (excluding aquafeed) sold. See Appendix FIndependent MarketResearch on Selected Food Markets in Indonesia, China, India, Vietnam and Myanmar. Wealso have poultry operations in Vietnam, Myanmar and India and beef operations in China. Inaddition, we produce other classes of proteins, namely swine (in Vietnam) and aquaculture (inIndonesia). We seek to replicate our successful industrialized operational model in Indonesiafor poultry and beef in and across our other markets and our other classes of proteins.

    The following chart illustrates the fully integrated value chain for animal protein production.Our operations include each of the steps in this value chain for certain of our proteins, suchas poultry and swine, and most of the steps for our other proteins. See also BusinessOurAnimal Protein SegmentIntroduction for a more detailed description of these steps.

    Breeding Farms Animal Feed

    Commercial Farming: poultry: grow out cattle: feedlotting swine: fattening

    Slaughterhouse

    Consumer Food

    In our poultry business, we operate over 70 breeding farms and over 30 hatcheries toproduce DOCs, primarily in Indonesia, as well as in Vietnam, Myanmar and India. In 2013, wesold almost 600 million DOCs across our markets. In 2013, we sold approximately 7% of ourDOCs produced in Indonesia internally to our own commercial farms for growing out, with theremainder sold to contract farms or third parties. We have over 10,000 commercial farms inour network, most of which are contract farms that are owned and operated by local farmerswho grow out the chicks on our behalf. We source most of our grandparent stock for chickenfrom Aviagen, one of the worlds leading poultry genetics companies, and our industrializedapproach results in premium quality DOCs and feed conversion ratios that are among thehighest in the industry in Indonesia.

    In our beef business, we are one of the largest beef cattle feedlot operators in Indonesia andthe largest importer of live beef cattle into Indonesia. We breed, fatten and process beef cattleand have four feedlots in Indonesia with a total production capacity of 165,000 heads of cattleper year. We also have cattle breeding operations in Australia, where our stations can holdapproximately 45,000 heads of cattle at any one time. We import the cattle bred at ourstations in Australia to Indonesia for fattening and processing, and we ship approximately12,000 heads of cattle per year from our Australian operations to our feedlots in Indonesia.Our beef business is operated as a fully integrated business, whereby breeding, feed,fattening and slaughterhouse operations are carried out within our Group and are thereforeunder unified control and operation.

  • In addition, we have swine breeding and distribution operations in Vietnam, where we soldapproximately 72,700 piglets in 2013. In 2012, we entered into a joint venture with Hypor, oneof the worlds leading suppliers of swine genetics, which enables us to operate the entirechain of swine breeding farms, including nurseries and parent, grandparent and greatgrandparent farms. In addition, we also produce small amounts of fish and shrimp inIndonesia.

    We produce premium-quality animal feed in Indonesia, Vietnam and Myanmar, both for ourown poultry, swine and aquaculture operations, as well as for sale to third parties. We soldover 3.5 million tons of animal feed in 2013 across our markets, including both internal andexternal sales. We formulate the feed to maximize its nutritional value depending on its enduse and brand it accordingly, and our feed brands are among the most recognized inIndonesia.

    Consumer Food

    We use the high-quality milk and animal protein products that we produce in-house as rawmaterials for our downstream consumer food segment.
