2016-2017 that had progressed by 12.3% on a like-for-like basis).

  • One-off decline in business:
  • which concerns the three Business Units (HM.CLAUSE, Hazera and

VILMORIN-MIKADO),

  • particularly in North America, without however altering, in the short-

term, the potential of this region, on which Vilmorin & Cie had recorded several quarters of extremely strong growth.

  • Performance that follows an extremely dynamic 4th quarter and which

reflects certain delays in activity, due in particular to temporary problems of availability for certain seed varieties.

  • Acceleration of the programmed rundown of the Japanese agricultural

supplies and equipment business in the VILMORIN-MIKADO Business Unit.

Europe:

  • Rapeseed: high level of growth (volume and value), particularly in Central Europe,

France and the United Kingdom, leading to significant market shares gains, thanks to a portfolio of highly efficient products from a technical point of view.

  • Straw cereals (wheat, barley): very slight increase in sales, in a market still affected by a

reduction in certified seeds.

  • Forage and amenity grass seeds: slight growth in business.

South America:

  • Increase in sales, particularly for soybean, a relevant complement to the corn offering.
  • Drop in sales for the first corn campaign in Brazil (safra), reflecting the current evolution
  • f cultivated acreage for this crop.
  • Promising outlook for orders for the 2nd corn campaign (safrinha), for which acreage

should increase, but with less intensity than during the previous fiscal year.

  • Confirmation of the growth objectives fixed for this region.

Asia:

  • Good start to the fiscal year, with a strong increase in business particularly in India.

Europe and North America:

  • Procurement of corn seeds is nearly complete, and according to the latest estimates, is
