Group Revenue was EUR454.1m for Q1 FY22, compared to EUR318.3m in Q1 FY21, representing an increase of 42.6%. Improved revenues were a result of increased demand, some early season forward buying by farmers and an encouraging autumn/winter planting season, particularly in the UK. Increased global fertiliser and feed prices represented approximately half of the revenue growth in the quarter. On an underlying constant currency basis, revenue (excluding crop marketing revenue) increased by 44.0%, reflecting an underlying volume increase of 21.0% in sales of seed, crop protection and fertiliser in the period. The planted area for autumn and winter crops is expected to be broadly in line with Q1 FY21, with an increase in cropping area expected in the UK offset by a modest reduction in Continental Europe. In Latin America, the total cropping area dedicated to soya is expected to increase. Strong crop prices globally mean that on-farm sentiment across the Group’s markets is positive.
