Overview Outlook

4

Feed input costs increased over the period on higher maize prices,

following poor yields and a smaller crop for 2019

Poultry production efficiencies on farm were maintained in line with

performance forecasts

Poultry selling prices increased for the period under review, leading

to a partial recovery of higher input costs

Extraordinary costs linked to load shedding, the legislated national

minimum wage and the on-going Standerton water supply contingency

COVID-19 costs late March; on-going impact into 2H2020 under the

nationwide lockdown complying with health and safety requirements

Good start to the 2020 maize planting season with production

prospects for the crop exceeding 15 million tons (2019: 11.3 mmt)

POULTRY DIVISION - COMMERCIAL

Profits increased for the period under review

Broiler selling prices increased with less promotional activity relative to the

comparable period

Broiler slaughter numbers at an average of 5.2 million birds per week were

marginally up by 2.3% year-on-year

Broiler sales volumes down due to a change in the point of recognition of a

sale with the new third party distribution agreement, which is based on a

consignment stock model

Overhead expenses increased over the comparable period with the

legislated national minimum wage (not included in 1Q2019), exacerbated by

the impact of load shedding nationally and on-going water supply costs in

Standerton

POULTRY DIVISION - AGRICULTURE

Parent stock sales were higher for the period under review as demand for

the Ross genetics increased

Parent breeder productions were good, with an improvement in the

number of chicks per hen housed

Demand for hatching eggs decreased as export markets came under

pressure

Feed input costs increased due to higher raw material costs adversely

affecting the live bird production cost

Further improvements in on-farm broiler production efficiencies,

assisted broiler live cost through an improved feed conversion rate

Highly pathogenic bird flu still prevalent in wild birds and ostriches,

however no confirmed cases in commercial poultry since May 2018

Based on industry statistics current broiler slaughter numbers are an average

of 19.6 million birds per week

For the period under review the industry has remained stable with no

consolidation or divestment

Imports during the period averaged 42 907 tons per month (1H2019: 41 774

tons), equalling approximately 30% of total consumption

An increase in the ad valorem import tariff on bone-in and boneless cuts of

chicken was announced on the 13th March 2020

The tariff on frozen bone-in chicken portions and boneless chicken cuts

increased from 37% to 62% and 12% to 42% respectively

The establishment of an oversight committee with representation from

government and all stakeholders will lend support to the implementation of the

Poultry Sector Master Plan

NEGATIVE INFLUENCES EXACERBATED BY LOCKDOWN

Unprecedented unemployment rate expected following the hard lockdown, and

resultant financial impact on businesses and the economy at large

Consumer disposable income will be severely constrained, with a very slow

recovery out of the lockdown as expected by most economists

Exchange rate effect on input costs, with the Rand pricing of soya and maize

negatively impacted

Higher costs due to COVID-19 with constraints on global supply chains and

price increases of essential inputs

QSR sector shutdown (accounting for 20% of poultry consumed) and late

payments, due to this market sector being impacted during the lockdown

Product mix change resulting in a shift to lower margin products on slower

fresh, value added and QSR sales

Astral’s capacity expansion delayed, due to project commissioning not being

completed as a result of the lockdown

POSITIVE INFLUENCES

All of Astral’s operations are running like clockwork, and to date no

disruptions have been experienced, with stringent social distancing, screening

and employee welfare measures (sufficient PPE) implemented

Above average maize crop for the 2020 harvest season, should result in

favourable feed costs from August if not further impacted by local currency

weakness

Higher import tariffs on frozen bone-in portions announced in March 2020,

should go some way in levelling the playing fields and discouraging unfair trade

Production efficiency and product mix opportunities when the Festive

expansion is completed

Progressive genetic improvement of the Ross broiler breed will continue to

support the group’s best cost strategy
