Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. Q4 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Fiscal 2026 performance was significantly impacted by ongoing litigation with specific creditors and the resulting business disruptions from these disputes. The 18% revenue decline was primarily driven by the international business and a strategic reconfiguration of the seed business model. Commercial operations in Argentina have stabilized following a successful reprofiling of local debt obligations at the start of the fourth quarter. Management prioritized a leaner operating structure, achieving a 19% reduction in SG&A for the quarter to offset gross profit declines. Underlying portfolio health is improving, with core categories like microbeaded fertilizers and adjuvants delivering higher gross profit despite top-line headwinds. A comprehensive strategic assessment led to the decision to rationalize the portfolio, as 99% of aggregated gross profit currently stems from less than 50% of catalog SKUs. Management is targeting a 40% gross margin for fiscal 2027 and beyond by focusing on high-quality revenue streams, particularly in Brazil. The company aims to reduce total SG&A to 23% of revenues by fiscal 2028 through organizational simplification and new system implementations. Future growth initiatives will prioritize value-accretive SKUs and the realignment of R&D investments with strictly defined financial objectives. Capital allocation will focus on cash generation, working capital discipline, and addressing the company's complex capital structure and liquidity position.

I will now turn the call back over to Federico Trucco for the closing remarks.A: Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director: Thank you. With this, we can end the call for today. Have a great rest of the week. ---**Note to Readers:** The Q4 2026 Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp earnings call did not include a Q&A session, as no analysts or investors submitted questions during the call. The highlights below are drawn from the prepared remarks delivered by CEO Federico Trucco and CFO Ezequiel Simmermacher, which represent the most significant and relevant information from the transcript. Q: How did Bioceres perform in fiscal year 2026, and what were the main challenges?A: Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer: Fiscal 2026 was a challenging year, marked by ongoing litigation with certain creditors and the business consequences from this dispute. Revenues from continuing operations declined 18%, with consequential declines in gross profit and adjusted EBITDA. The decline was most significant in the international business, while commercial operations in Argentina mostly stabilized, partly due to the successful reprofiling of local debt obligations toward the beginning of the fourth quarter. Q: What were the fourth quarter revenue and gross profit results, and what drove them?A: Ezequiel Simmermacher, Chief Financial Officer: Fourth quarter revenues were $55.9 million, slightly above the $55.4 million in the prior year. Growth came mainly from the Crop Nutrition segment, up 36% year-over-year on strong microbeaded fertilizer performance, offset by lower revenues in crop protection and seeds. Reported gross profit for the quarter was $12.7 million, down 6%, with a gross margin of 22.8%. The quarter included approximately $4 million of non-recurring inventory adjustments related to obsolete products, which masked improved profitability across several core product categories. Q: What were the full-year revenue and gross profit figures for fiscal 2026?A: Ezequiel Simmermacher, Chief Financial Officer: For the full year, revenues declined 18% to $238 million. Approximately half of that decline was associated with the seeds business reconfiguration, with most of the remaining decline in crop protection, while Crop Nutrition revenues were broadly stable. Reported gross profit was $82.9 million, down 21%, with a gross margin of 34.8%. The decline was significantly affected by the high inventory obsolescence charge and the wind-down of the seed business model. Q: How did adjusted EBITDA perform, and what drove the improvement?A: Ezequiel Simmermacher, Chief Financial Officer: Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately $10 million year-over-year in the quarter, from negative $9.6 million to positive $0.6 million. The main driver was a reduction in the operating expense base, with SG&A down 19% in the quarter, as reductions in both fixed and variable expenses more than offset the decline in reported gross profit. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was $25.5 million compared to $28.9 million in fiscal year 2025. Despite an 18% revenue reduction and a 21% reduction in reported gross profit, adjusted EBITDA declined by only 12%, demonstrating the magnitude of the cost actions implemented during the year. Q: What is the status of the company's balance sheet and debt obligations?A: Ezequiel Simmermacher, Chief Financial Officer: Total financial debt on June 30 was $225.9 million, roughly stable compared with the end of the third quarter. Cash and short-term investments totaled $12.2 million, resulting in net financial debt of $213.6 million. Following the acceleration note associated with the noteholders dispute, substantially all of the related secured notes, $118.6 million at year end, remain classified as short-term. The company continues to dispute the acceleration of the notes and the foreclosure process, which remains subject to ongoing legal proceedings. Outside the secured notes, the company reprofiled approximately $28 million of bank debt obligations at Rizobacter and completed a voluntary maturity extension process for local bonds in Argentina covering $46.5 million in aggregate principal amount. Q: What is the outlook and strategic roadmap for fiscal year 2027 and beyond?A: Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer: The company has substantially completed the nearly two-year reconfiguration of its seed business and concluded an external strategic assessment of continuing operations. The roadmap includes rationalizing the portfolio and go-to-market channels, revisiting commercial policies and strategic relationships, and realigning R&D and investments with defined financial objectives, while continuing to explore further efficiencies on the OpEx front and non-core asset monetization opportunities. For fiscal year 2027 and beyond, the company is targeting about 40% gross margins by focusing growth on higher-quality core revenue streams, particularly in Brazil, and simplifying the product portfolio to focus on the most valuable SKUs. Notably, 99% of aggregated gross profit from fiscal year 2025 resulted from less than 50% of the SKUs in the catalog. Q: What are the targets for SG&A and cost structure improvement?A: Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer: The company has made great progress on the SG&A front and believes it can continue to improve, targeting a combined 23% total SG&A as a percent of revenues for fiscal year 2028. This is believed achievable as the company implements new systems and simplifies its organizational arrangement in terms of processes, cost centers, and legal entities. Q: What are the company's priorities as it enters fiscal year 2027?A: Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer: As the company enters fiscal 2027, its focus remains on improving the performance and cash generation of the continuing business, maintaining cost and working capital discipline, and actively addressing the company's capital structure and liquidity position. The actions taken during fiscal 2026 have established a more focused operating base from which to move forward. The company continues to recognize the significance of the ongoing litigation process in New York and will continue to pursue the appropriate legal course as well as evaluate constructive alternatives where possible.

Federico Trucco: Thanks, Paola, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. Good morning. Please turn to slide number 3 for today's highlights. Fiscal 26 was a challenging year for Bioceres. Marked by the ongoing litigation with certain of our creditors and the business consequences emanating from these disputes. Revenues from our continuing operations declined by 18%, with its consequential decline in gross profits and adjusted EBITDA. Excluding changes associated towards new seed business strategy, the decline in revenues has been most significant in our international business. But in Argentina, our commercial operations have mostly stabilized. In part because of the successful reprofiling of our local debt obligations towards the beginning of the fourth quarter. Against that backdrop, our priorities have been to focus the business on our core capabilities reduced our cost structure, and strengthen operating discipline. Fourth quarter results provide encouraging evidence of progress. Revenues from continuing operations were broadly stable year over year, with improved performance across several of our core product categories. At the same time, the cost actions implemented throughout the year resulted in a materially lower expense base. Allowing us to return to positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter. Ezekiel will now review our financial performance for the quarter and the full year. I will then return to discuss our outlook towards the end of today's call. Ezequiel? Ezequiel Simmermacher: Thank you, Federico, and good morning, everyone. Before I begin, I want to remind everyone that unless otherwise indicated, the result I will discuss today reflects our continuing operation for all periods presented. Prior year amount have been recast to exclude Pro Farm Group and are presented on a comparable basis. With that, let's turn to Slide 4 and our revenue performance. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $55.9 million slightly above the $55.4 million the prior year. The main source of growth during this quarter came from the Crop Nutrition segment increasing by 36% year over year mainly as a result of a strong performance in microbeaded fertilizer. This increase was offset by lower revenues in crop protection and in seeds. For the full year revenues, declined 18% to $238 million approximately half of that decline was associated with the before-mentioned seed business reconfiguration. Most of the reminding decline was in crop protection, while crop nutrition revenues were broadly stable for the year. Within crop nutrition, the strong performance of microbeated fertilizer was offset by lower inoculant revenue. Moving to gross profit, let's turn to Slide 5. Reported gross profit for the quarter was $12.7 million down 6%, with gross margin of 22.8%. There are a few important factors behind those reported number. First, the quarter included approximately $4 million of nonrecurring inventory adjustment related to obsolescence following a comprehensive review. These had a meaningful impact on reported gross profit and mask improved profitability across several of our cross product categories. Crab nutrition is probably the clearest example. Gross profit increased 37% led by microbeaded fertilizer where we have both high revenues and improved margins. In crop protection, the overall decline was concentrated in third party and other products. Our adjuvants portfolio actually delivered higher gross profit and improved margins year over year. And within Seeds and Integrated Product, the remaining Seeds continue to weigh wait on reported results, but seed treatment packs delivered higher sales and approximately 40% growth in gross profit. Reported consolidated gross margin does not yet tell the full story. Beneath the headline numbers, we are seeing early signs of improvement across several of our core business, providing a strong foundation for future performance. Turning to the slide to look for the full year gross profit results. For the full year, reported gross profit was $82.9 million down 21% with gross margin of 34.8%. As with the quarterly numbers, understanding the component of that decline is important. There were some significant effects during the year. The higher inventory obsolescence charge we just discussed and the wind-down of the seed business model. Looking at the underlying product performance, Crop Protection margins were broadly stable for the year despite lower revenues. microbe-based fertilizer increased gross profit by approximately 20%. And seed and seed treatment packs also delivered higher gross profit and improved margins. The largest reported decline was in crop nutrition, particularly inoculants, where the year over year comparison was significantly affected by the inventory obsolescence charge. So while reported consolidated gross margin decline, the underlying composition of the portfolio continues to improve with a greater concentration of product that offers stronger profitability. Turning to Slide 7. Look at adjusted EBITDA. This is where the impact of the cost actions we have been implementing throughout the year becomes much more visible. Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately $10 million year over year from negative $9.6 million to positive $600 thousand The main driver was a reduction in our operation expense base. SG&A was down 19% in the quarter. With reduction in both fixed and variable expenses and those savings more than offset the decline in reported gross profit. Other income also contributed positively during the quarter, reflecting gains from joint farming and barter arraignments. So although $600 thousand is still a modest level of EBITDA, the important point for us is that the magnitude in the year over year improvement and the fact that the cost action taken during fiscal year 2026 are now clearly flowing through the P&L. For the full year adjusted EBITDA was $25.5 million compared to the $28.9 million in fiscal year 2025. This REIT illustrates the scale of the cost reset Gross profit declined by approximately $22 million year over year, but this was substantially offset by the more than $20 million improvement in operating expense. Despite 18% reduction in revenues and the 20% reduction in reported gross profit, adjusted EBITDA declined by only 12%. We think that demonstrate the magnitude of the cost actions implemented during the year and the significantly leaner operating structure with which we are entering fiscal year 2027. Finally, turning to the balance sheet. Total financial debt on June 30 was $225.9 million broadly stable compared with the end of the third quarter. Cash and short term investment totaled $12.2 million resulting in net financial debt of $213.6 million As we have previously discussed, following the acceleration note associated with the noteholders dispute, substantially all of the related secured note, a $118.6 million at year end, remains classified as short term. The outstanding balance does not reflect any reduction in connection with the pro forma foreclosure closure. The company continues to dispute the acceleration of the note and the foreclosure process, which remains subject to legal proceedings. Outside the secured notes, we also made meaningful progress on liability management during the year that was completed through the fourth quarter. At Rizobacter, we successfully pursued the reprofiling of approximately $28 million of bank debt obligations and completed a voluntary maturity extension process for our local bond debt in Argentina covering $46.5 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes. This initiative further strengthened our liquidity profile and extend our debt maturity schedule. Managing liquidity and the capital structure remains a key priority as we enter fiscal year 2027. Alongside the operating and working capital initiatives that Federico has mentioned. Operator: So let's turn to-- Thanks, Ezequiel. Federico Trucco: And please now turn to Slide 10 for a brief discussion on what to expect for the year ahead. We have now substantially completed the nearly 2-year reconfiguration of our seed business. And concluded an external strategic assessment of our continuing operations. That work has provided a clear road map for the next phase of the business. Including rationalizing our portfolio and go to market channels, revisiting some of our commercial policies and strategic relationships, and realigning our R&D and our investments with defined financial objectives. While continuing to explore further efficiencies on the OpEx front and noncore asset monetization opportunities. These actions are also beginning to translate into improved portfolio profitability. Although the benefits are not yet fully reflected in reported gross margins, as we work through the portfolio and commercial transition described before. For instance, if you now turn to the next slide, you will see that if we adjust the nonrecurring obsolescence associated to the portfolio transition, gross profit percent has already expanded from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2026. For fiscal year 2027 and beyond, we are targeting about 40% gross margins. We believe that this can be achieved by focusing growth on higher quality core revenue streams particularly in Brazil, as well as simplifying the product portfolio to focus on the most valuable and value accretive SKUs. Just for reference, 99% of the aggregated gross profit from fiscal year 25 resulted from less than 50% of the SKUs in our catalog. So we see a great opportunity in this work. We have also made great progress on the SG&A front as we have already discussed during the presentation, and you can see these summarized in the next slide. Yet, we believe that we can continue to improve on this front, targeting a combined 23% total SG&A as a percent of revenues for fiscal year 2028. We believe this is achievable as we implement new systems and simplify our organizational arrangement in terms of processes, cost centers, and legal entities. As we enter fiscal 2027, our focus remains on improving the performance and cash generation of our continuing business. Maintaining cost and working capital discipline, and actively addressing the company's capital structure and liquidity position. We believe the actions taken during fiscal 2026 have established a more focused operating base from which to move forward. We continue to recognize the significance of the ongoing litigation process in New York. where we will continue to pursue the appropriate legal course as well as evaluate constructive alternatives where possible. With this, we end our prepared remarks. We can now open the call for Q&A. Operator? Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the Q&A session. Please limit yourself to 1 question and 1 follow-up.

The conference call is being webcast, and the link is available at our investor relations website. It is now my pleasure to turn over the call to Federico.
Thanks, Paula, and thank you everyone for joining us today. Good morning. Please turn to slide three for today's highlights. Fiscal 2026 was a challenging year for Bioceres, marked by the ongoing litigation with certain of our creditors and the business consequences emanating from these disputes. Revenues from our continuing operations declined by 18%, with its consequential decline in gross profits and adjusted EBITDA. Excluding changes associated to our new seed business strategy, the decline in revenues has been most significant in our international business. While in Argentina, our commercial operations have mostly stabilized, in part because of the successful reprofiling of our local debt obligations towards the beginning of the fourth quarter. Against that backdrop, our priorities have been to focus the business on our core capabilities, reduce our cost structure, and strengthen operating discipline. Fourth quarter results provide encouraging evidence of progress.
Revenues from continuing operations were broadly stable year-over-year, with improved performance across several of our core product categories. At the same time, the cost actions implemented throughout the year resulted in a materially lower expense base, allowing us to return to positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter. Ezequiel Simmermacher will now review our financial performance for the quarter and the full year. I will then return to discuss our outlook towards the end of today's call. Ezequiel?
Thank you, Federico, and good morning, everyone. Before I begin, I want to remind everyone that unless otherwise indicated, the result I will discuss today reflects our continuing operation for all periods presented. Prior year amounts have been recast to exclude Pro Farm Group and are presented on a comparable basis. With that, let's turn to slide four and our revenue performance. Revenues for the fourth quarter were $55.9 million, slightly above the $55.4 million the prior year. The main source of growth during this quarter came from the Crop Nutrition segment, increasing by 36% year-over-year, mainly as a result of a strong performance in microbeaded fertilizer. This increase was offset by lower revenues in Crop Protection and in Seeds. For the full year, revenues declined 18% to $238 million. Approximately half of that decline was associated with the beforementioned seed business reconfiguration.
Most of the remaining decline was in Crop Protection, while Crop Nutrition revenues were broadly stable for the year. Within Crop Nutrition, the strong performance of microbeaded fertilizer was offset by lower inoculant revenues. Moving to gross profit, let's turn to slide five. Reported gross profit for the quarter was $12.7 million, down 6%, with gross margin of 22.8%. There are a few important factors behind those reported numbers. First, the quarter included approximately $4 million of non-recurring inventory adjustment related to obsolescence following a comprehensive review. This had a meaningful impact on reported gross profit and masked improved profitability across several of our gross product categories. Crop Nutrition is probably the clearest example. Gross profit increased 37%, led by microbeaded fertilizer, where we had both higher revenues and improved margins. In Crop Protection, the decline was concentrated in third-party and other products.
Our adjuvants portfolio actually delivered higher gross profit and improved margins year-over-year. Within Seeds and Integrated Products, the remaining seeds continue to weigh on reported results, but seed treatment packs delivered higher sales and approximately 40% growth in gross profit. Reported consolidated gross margin does not yet tell the full story. Beneath the headline numbers, we are seeing early signs of improvement across several of our core business, providing a strong foundation for future performance. Turning to the slide to look for the full year gross profit results. For the full year, reported gross profit was $82.9 million, down 21%, with gross margin of 34.8%. As with the quarterly numbers, understanding the component of that decline is important. There were some significant effects during the year. The higher inventory obsolescence charge we just discussed and the wind down of the seed business model.
Looking at the underlying product performance, Crop Protection margins were broadly stable for the year despite lower revenues. Microbeaded fertilizers increased gross profit by approximately 20%, and seed treatment packs also delivered higher gross profit and improved margins. The largest reported decline was in Crop Nutrition, particularly inoculants, where the year-over-year comparison was significantly affected by the inventory obsolescence charge. While reported consolidated gross margin declined, the underlying composition of the portfolio continues to improve with a greater concentration of product that offers stronger profitability. Turning to slide seven to look at adjusted EBITDA. There is where the impact of the cost actions we have been implementing throughout the year becomes much more visible. Adjusted EBITDA improved by approximately $10 million year over year from negative $9.6 million to positive $0.6 million. The main driver was a reduction in our Operating Expense base.
SG&A was down 19% in the quarter, with reduction in both fixed and variable expenses, and those savings more than offset the decline in reported gross profit. Other income also contributed positively during the quarter, reflecting gains from joint farming and barter arrangements. Although $2.6 million is still a modest level of EBITDA, the important point for us is that the magnitude in the year-over-year improvement and the fact that the cost action taking during fiscal year 2026 are now clearly flowing through the P&L. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was $25.5 million, compared to the $28.9 million in fiscal year 2025. The read illustrates the scale of the cost reset. Gross profit declined by approximately $22 million year over year, but this was substantially offset by the more than $20 million of improvement in Operating Expense.
Despite the 18% reduction in revenues and a 21% reduction in reported gross profit, adjusted EBITDA declined by only 12%. We think that demonstrate the magnitude of the cost actions implemented during the year and the significant leaner operation structure with which we are entering fiscal year 2027. Finally, turning to the balance sheet. Total financial debt on June 30 was $225.9 million, broadly stable compared with the end of the third quarter. Cash and short-term investment totaled $12.2 million, resulting a net financial debt of $213.6 million. As we have previously discussed, following the acceleration note associated with the note holder's dispute, substantially all of the related secure note, $118.6 million at year-end, remains classified as short-term. The outstanding balance does not reflect any reduction in connection with the Pro Farm foreclosure.
The company continues to dispute the acceleration of the note and the foreclosure process, which remains subject to ongoing legal proceedings. Outside the secure notes, we also made meaningful progress on the liability management during the year that was completed through the fourth quarter. At Rizobacter, we successfully pursue the reprofiling of approximately $28 million of bank debt obligations and completed a voluntary maturity extension process for our local bonds debts in Argentina, covering $46.5 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes. This initiative further strength our liquidity profile and extend our debt material schedule. Managing liquidity and the capital structure remains a key priority as we enter fiscal year 2027, alongside the operation and work capital initiatives Federico mentioned. Let's turn to Federico.
Thanks, Ezequiel, and please now turn to slide 10 for a brief discussion on what to expect for the year ahead. We have now substantially completed the nearly two-year reconfiguration of our seed business and concluded an external strategic assessment of our continuing operations. That work has provided a clear roadmap for the next phase of the business, including rationalizing our portfolio and go-to-market channels, revisiting some of our commercial policies and strategic relationships and realigning our R&D and our investments with the defined financial objectives while continuing to explore further efficiencies on the OpEx front and non-core asset monetization opportunities. These actions are also beginning to translate into improved portfolio profitability. Although the benefits are not yet fully reflected in reported gross margins as we work through the portfolio and commercial transition described before.
For instance, if you now turn to the next slide, you will see that if we adjust the non-recurring obsolescence associated to the portfolio transition, gross profit percent has already expanded from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2026. For fiscal year 2027 and beyond, we are targeting about 40% gross margins. We believe that this can be achieved by focusing growth on higher quality core revenue streams, particularly in Brazil, as well as simplifying the product portfolio to focus on the most valuable and value accretive SKUs. Just for reference, 99% of the aggregated gross profit from fiscal year 2025 resulted from less than 50% of the SKUs in our catalog. So we see a great opportunity in this work. We have also made great progress on the SG&A front, as we have already discussed during the presentation, and you can see this summarized in the next slide.
Yet, we believe that we can continue to improve on this front, targeting a combined 23% total SG&A as a percent of revenues for fiscal year 2028. We believe this is achievable as we implement new systems and simplify our organizational arrangement in terms of processes, cost centers, and legal entities. As we enter fiscal 2027, our focus remains on improving the performance and cash generation of our continuing business, maintaining cost and working capital discipline, and actively addressing the company's capital structure and liquidity position. We believe the actions taken during fiscal 2026 have established a more focused operating base from which to move forward. We continue to recognize the significance of the ongoing litigation process in New York, where we will continue to pursue the appropriate legal course as well as evaluate constructive alternatives where possible. With this, we end our prepared remarks.
We can now open the call for Q&A. Operator?
Thank you. We will now begin the Q&A session. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand.

This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. The quarter reflects a period of transition and operational refocusing, historically the company's weakest period due to Southern Hemisphere seasonality. Performance was impacted by the absence of non-recurring IP rights and commercial arrangement profits, which typically offset baseline operating losses in previous years. Crop Protection revenues declined due to softened demand and competitive pressure in adjuvants and third-party products, alongside inventory adjustments in the nutrition channel. The Seeds and Integrated Products segment saw a 71% revenue drop as part of a deliberate shift toward an asset-light, lower working capital-intense model by phasing out downstream grain sales. Crop Nutrition was the sole growth segment, driven by micro fertilizers and global supply uncertainties stemming from geopolitical tensions. Management is prioritizing organizational streamlining and cost control, which resulted in a meaningful reduction in operating expenses during the quarter. The company is conducting a strategic review of continuing operations to ensure resources are aligned with areas of greatest long-term value creation. Management is advancing a reprofiling process for Rizobacter debt in Argentina, including voluntary maturity extensions and coordination with banking partners. Future financial flexibility depends on the outcome of ongoing litigation regarding the purported acceleration of secured notes and the Pro Farm foreclosure. Strategic focus remains on stabilizing the platform through tighter capital allocation, working capital discipline, and improved cash generation. One stock.

The Seeds and Integrated Products segment saw a 71% revenue drop as part of a deliberate shift toward an asset-light, lower working capital-intense model by phasing out downstream grain sales. Crop Nutrition was the sole growth segment, driven by micro fertilizers and global supply uncertainties stemming from geopolitical tensions. Management is prioritizing organizational streamlining and cost control, which resulted in a meaningful reduction in operating expenses during the quarter. The company is conducting a strategic review of continuing operations to ensure resources are aligned with areas of greatest long-term value creation. Management is advancing a reprofiling process for Rizobacter debt in Argentina, including voluntary maturity extensions and coordination with banking partners. Future financial flexibility depends on the outcome of ongoing litigation regarding the purported acceleration of secured notes and the Pro Farm foreclosure. Strategic focus remains on stabilizing the platform through tighter capital allocation, working capital discipline, and improved cash generation. One stock.

The Pro Farm business was reclassified as discontinued operations following a foreclosure auction where a noteholder entity acquired assets via a $15 million credit bid. A non-cash impairment loss of approximately $179 million was recognized in the second quarter, primarily impacting intangible assets and goodwill. Substantially all debt related to the noteholder dispute is now classified as short-term following an acceleration notice, which the company is vigorously contesting. The company asserts that the foreclosure was conducted in a 'commercially unreasonable manner' and has filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs. Management is incentivizing customers to advance payments on receivables to prioritize liquidity. New sales are being structured with shorter payment terms more aligned with industry standards to reduce working capital intensity.

While market conditions in several areas of our business remain challenging, and the effects of the transition in Seeds continue to weigh on reported results, we are increasingly focused on strengthening the fundamentals of the organization and prioritizing disciplined execution across the platform. "During the quarter, we continued advancing initiatives aimed at simplifying the organization, improving operational efficiency, strengthening working capital management and improving cash generation and liability management across key operating subsidiaries. In parallel, we are reinforcing governance and internal processes and conducting a strategic review of our continuing operations — including initiatives focused on organizational streamlining and capital allocation optimization — to ensure that capital, management attention, and resources remain aligned with the areas where we believe we can create the greatest long-term value.

While we continue to pursue the appropriate legal course and evaluate constructive alternatives where possible, our priority remains clear: stabilizing the business, preserving the value of our core operations, and positioning the Company for a more resilient and sustainable future." 3Q26 Summary: Revenue performance in the third quarter reflects mixed demand dynamics across segments, particularly in Crop Protection, together with the ongoing transition in Seeds toward a more asset-light model. While these factors weighed on reported revenues, Crop Nutrition continued to grow, driven by microbeaded fertilizers. Gross profit and margins declined year over year, reflecting lower revenues, product mix effects, and the impact of a non-recurring obsolescence adjustment in inoculants, associated with inventory normalization efforts during the period. At the same time, the Company continued to execute on cost management and working capital initiatives, resulting in meaningful reductions in operating expenses and improvements in cash conversion dynamics during the quarter. Profitability metrics were additionally impacted by the absence of prior year non-cash income associated with changes in contractual obligations and intellectual property arrangements as part of the reorganization in Seeds, which affected year-over-year comparability.

FY2026 Q3 earnings call transcript
Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to Bioceres Crop Solutions Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Results Call. After today's prepared remarks, we will host a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star and the number 1 to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star 1 again. I will now hand the call conference over to Paula Savanti, Head of Investor Relations. Paula, please go ahead.
Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Bioceres Crop Solutions 3rd fiscal quarter 2026 earnings conference call. Our prepared remarks today will be led by our Chief Executive Officer, Federico Trucco, our General Counsel, Jose Roque, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ezequiel Simmermacher. All of them will be available for the Q&A session following the presentation. During this call, we will be making forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. I refer you to the forward-looking statements section of the earnings release and presentation, as well as the recent filings with SEC. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new or changed circumstances. In today's presentation, we will be making references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures can be found in our earnings press release. This conference call is being webcast, and the link is available at our investor relations website. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Federico.
Thanks, Paula, good morning to everyone. Thanks for joining us today. Please turn to slide number 3 for today's key business and financial highlights. This quarter reflects a period of transition and operational refocusing for the company. While it is historically our weakest quarter from a baseline business perspective, total revenues and gross profits showed a decline compared to the same quarter last year, which was partially offset by an improvement in operational expenses. Net loss was $10 million, primarily reflecting lower gross profit as well as increased financial expenses, all of which will be described in greater detail later in the presentation. In the last 3 years, we have booked profits from IP rights and other commercial arrangements in this quarter, which help us offset baseline operating losses.
Although we continue to explore strategic arrangements with our partners on a regular basis and see these as a recurrent source of profitability, this year, the timing of profit-generating arrangements did not coincide with the initial months of the calendar year. As I have stated in my message to shareholders of March 16th, we recognize the significance of the events surrounding ProFarm and the uncertainty generated by the ongoing litigation process. Jose Roque, our General Counsel, will now provide an update of the ongoing litigation. Please turn to slide number 4.
Thank you, Federico, and good morning to everyone on the call. As previously disclosed, in November 2025, 4 holders of secured notes issued under note purchase agreements dated August 2022 filed a lawsuit in New York against the company and certain guarantor affiliates. The plaintiffs allege that defaults occurred under those agreements and are seeking payment of amounts they say became immediately due. The company strongly disputes these allegations. As explained in court filings, each of the alleged defaults turns on contested facts. The company has at all times acted in good faith and under active board supervision to manage liquidity and preserve enterprise value. We have also asserted counterclaims against the plaintiffs and third-party individuals. On January 20, 2026, as part of the litigation process, the note holders conducted a foreclosure auction involving the ProFarm Group, Inc. collateral.
A note holder-affiliated entity was the only qualified bidder and acquired the assets through a $50 million credit bid. We believe and continue to argue in litigation that the foreclosure was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner, and we have asserted counterclaims challenging the process. The case remains in its early stages, and the company intends to continue both our active defense against note holders' allegations and the pursuit of our affirmative claims. While we remain confident in our legal position, I would remind listeners that my statements regarding the litigation are subject to the usual disclaimers regarding forward-looking statements and that actual results may differ materially. The company intends to continue updating shareholders regarding material developments in the litigation through appropriate disclosures, including, where applicable, reports on Form 6-K.
Thank you, Jose. Please now turn to slide number 5 for an introduction to Ezequiel Simmermacher, who joined us as CFO at the beginning of the year. Ezequiel comes to us after a nearly 20-year career in agriculture with positions of increasing seniority at Monsanto first and then at CHS, where he was regional finance director, and then director of operational excellence for South America until joining us. We're delighted to have Ezequiel in the team and very grateful for his commitment to our organization, particularly in light of joining at a time of significant uncertainty. Ezequiel, welcome. Now turning the call over to you to discuss the accounting impact of the ProFarm foreclosure, as well as the quarter's financial performance for our continuing operations.
Thank you, Federico, for the introduction, and good morning, everyone. It is a great to be here in my first earning call with Bioceres. Let's begin with the slide 6, which as Federico mentioned, detail the impact of the January 2026 foreclosure auction involving the ProFarm Group on our financials. As a result of the foreclosure process, the ProFarm business was classified as discontinued operations, and its assets and liabilities were reclassified accordingly in our financial statements. Based on the expected proceed from the foreclosure auction, the company recognized a non-cash impairment and loss associated with the transaction during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. In total, approximately $194 million of the net assets associated with the ProFarm Group business was de-recognized or reclassified.
After considering the $50 million credit bid submitted by note holders, this results in accumulated non-cash loss of approximately $179 million. The largest impact were reductions in intangible assets and goodwill, together with reductions in property, plant, and equipment, and working capital balance. These were partially offset by the derecognition of liabilities associated with the ProFarm Group business. These impacts were recognized in the second quarter and are reflected in the current balance sheet presentations. Let's walk through the financial results for the quarter. First, let me remind you that all financial results discussed below reflect the company's continuing operation for all periods presented, and previous years' amount have been recast to exclude the ProFarm Group business unless otherwise noted. Let's turn to slide 7 to begin looking at revenues.
Total revenues for the quarter were $39.4 million, representing a 23% decline versus the same period last year. Before discussing the segments, I think it's important to remember that the fiscal third quarter is seasonally the lowest quarter for our continuous operation, particularly following the Pro Farm foreclosure auction and the resulting reduction in North America operations. This quarter typically coincides with lower planting and harvesting activities in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning that fluctuation in demands, pricing, and products mix tend to have a more visible impact on quarterly performance. Looking at segments performance, we saw a mixed dynamic across the portfolio. In Crop Protection, revenue were $24.6 million, down 18% year-over-year. The decline was mainly driven by softened demand and competitive pressure in certain categories, particularly in adjuvants and third-party products in Argentina.
We also continue to see inventory adjustments across the nutrition channel, which affected purchasing activity. In third-party products, pricing pressure in post-patent categories also weighted on revenues. In Seed and Integrated Products, revenues declined 71% year-over-year. This continues the trend we've seen over the last several quarters as downstream seeds and grain sales are phased out as part of the strategic shift towards a more asset-light and lower working capital-intense model in seeds. As we discussed before, this transition reduced reported revenues in the near term, while also lowering exposure to lower margin and more working capital-intense activity. Crop Nutrition was the 1 segment that posted growth during the quarter, with revenues increased 15% year-over-year to $11.6 million.
Growth was mainly driven by microbial fertilizer, supported by a low comparable base and stronger demand dynamics during the quarter amid global supply and pricing uncertainties associated with geopolitical tensions. Overall, revenues performance during the quarter reflect a combination of softer market conditions in certain categories together with our ongoing portfolio transition effects. Moving now to gross profit on slide 8. Gross profit for the quarter was $12.7 million, compared to $18.1 million in the same period last year, representing a 30% year-over-year decline. The decline was relatively broad-based across the 3 segments. In Crop Protection, gross profit performance largely mirrored the decline in revenues. Margins across the different product categories were generally stable, although overall segment margin came down from 37% to 35%, mainly due to the lower contribution from adjuvants within the mix this quarter.
In Seed and Integrated Products, gross profit declined in absolute terms, but significantly less than revenues. As a result, gross margin improved from 19% to 30%, reflecting a more favorable mix with a higher relative contribution from seed treatment packs versus downstream grain sales. Crop Nutrition gross profit declined 38% despite higher revenues. The main driver here was obsolescence adjustment related to inoculants following an update inventory assessment during this quarter. Excluding this adjustment, underlying profitability in the inoculants business remained broadly stable year-over-year. Overall, gross margin declined from 35%-32%, reflecting lower revenues, product mix effects and inoculants adjustment disclosed above. Excluding that non-recurring adjustment, underlying gross margin performance remains broadly in line with the prior year period. Now, let's please turn to slide 9 for a review of the adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was -$0.6 million, compared to $9.1 million in the pre-prior year quarter. When looking at this year-over-year comparison, it is important to separate a couple of non-recurring items affecting comparability across periods. First, the prior year quarter included approximately $7.7 million of non-recurring other income associated with changes in contractual obligations and intellectual property arrangements as part of the reorganization in Seeds. The absence of that income had a significant impact on comparability versus last year. Second, during the current quarter, Crop Nutrition results were impacted by a non-recurring inoculant obsolescence adjustment associated with an update inventory assessment. Looking beyond these items, underlying operations performance reflect lower gross profit across part of the business, particularly in Crop Protection.
The iteration was partially upset by continuous progress on cost control organizational streamlining initiatives. These actions resulted in a meaningful reduction in operation expense during the quarter, while joint ventures result also improved year-over-year and provided an additional positive contribution to EBITDA. Let's turn to slide number 10 to review our balance sheet, cash position, and a brief update on the debt situation. As of March 31, 2026, total financial debt stood at approximately $229 million, broadly stable compared to the previous quarter. Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled approximately $14 million, resulting in a net financial debt of approximately $214 million, also stable on a sequential basis.
1 important point to highlight is that following the acceleration notice received in connection with the noteholder situation discussed earlier in the call, substantially all of the related debt is currently classified as short-term in our balance sheet presentation. As Federico and Jose previously noted, the company continues to dispute both the purported acceleration of the notes and the commercial reasonableness of the Pro Farm foreclosure auction. These matters remain subject to ongoing legal proceedings, and the company intends to continue vigorously defending its position and pursuing its claims and counterclaims in the litigation. At the same time, we continue to evaluate constructive alternatives and maintain dialogue with relevant stakeholders where appropriate. As Federico mentioned earlier, we are also advancing a reprofiling process for retroactive debt obligations in Argentina, including voluntary maturity extensions, discussions with bondholders, and continued coordination with key banking partners.
More broadly, management remains highly focused on liquidity preservation, working capital discipline, and tighter capital allocation across the organization as we continue to stabilize the platform and improve financial flexibility over time. With that, I will turn the call back over to Federico. Thank you.
Thanks, Ezequiel, please turn to slide 11, our final slide for today. While market conditions in several areas of our business remain challenging and the effects of the transition in Seeds continue to weigh on reported results, we are increasingly focused on strengthening the fundamentals of the organization and prioritizing disciplined execution across the business. During the quarter, we continued advancing initiatives aimed at simplifying the organization, improving operational efficiency, strengthening working capital management, and improving cash generation, while advancing liability management initiatives across key operating subsidiaries. In parallel, we are reinforcing governance and internal processes and conducting a strategic review of our continuing operations, including initiatives focused on organizational streamlining and capital allocation optimization.
To ensure that capital management attention and resources remain aligned with the areas where we believe we can create the greatest long-term value. We recognize the uncertainty generated by the ongoing litigation. While we continue to pursue the appropriate legal course and evaluate constructive alternatives where possible, our priority remains clear: stabilizing the business, preserving the value of our core operations, and positioning the company for a more resilient and sustainable future. With that, I think we can now turn the call over to Q&A.
Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, please press star and the number 1 on your telephone keypad to raise your hand now. To withdraw your question, press star 1 again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Again, to ask a question, press star 1 on your telephone keypad now. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A. Your first question comes from the line of Kemp Dolliver with Brookline Capital Markets. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Thank you, and good morning. I did miss the first few minutes of the presentation, but think you can go on to add some information on this. What are you doing with regard to collections? It looks like you've made some progress on reducing receivables, but it's hard to tell, given the restatements, you know, where you stand currently on that initiative. Thank you.
Hi, Kemp. Thanks for joining us today. It's good to hear you. I will pass that question over to Ezequiel. First I'll say that we're emphasizing, obviously, reducing receivables and advancing collections to prioritize liquidity and keep working capital discipline. Ezequiel might be able to provide more color into this.
Oh, hi. Hi, Kemp. A pleasure. Two angles first is we have been working on, let's say, giving alternatives to our customers to advance the receivables with some type of incentive. On the other side, we have been working on new sales being done in lower sell period by giving some attracting to shorter terms that are more common to the industry.
Okay. What was operating cash flow for the quarter and then year-to-date?
No, we can provide that after.
We don't have the number, the exact number here, but we can provide that information on the analyst session with you, Kemp.
Okay. Thank you. That's all I have. Thank you.
Thank you.
As there are no further questions at this time, I will turn the call back to Federico Trucco for closing remarks.
Thank you. Thanks again, everyone, for joining. We remain available for any additional information that might be required and hope everyone has a great rest of the week.
This concludes today's call. Thank you all for attending. You may now disconnect.
