3 3 (Free translation from the original issued in Portuguese. In the event of any discrepancies, the Portuguese language version shall prevail. See Note 31 to the interim financial information.) Independent Auditor s Report on Review of the individual and consolidated interim financial information To the Management, Board of Directors and Shareholders of Minerva S.A. Barretos SP Introduction We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Minerva S.A. ( Company ), included in the Quarterly Financial Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which comprises the balance sheet as at March 31, 2018, and the related income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the three-month period then ended, and the statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes. The Company s management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) - Demonstração Intermediária and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this individual and consolidated interim financial information based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards on auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

4 4 Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR) and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM). Emphasis of matter Operation Lucas As mentioned in note 1.1 to the the interim financial information, on May 16, 2017, the Brazilian Federal Police launched an investigation called Operation Lucas with the purpose of investigating alleged payments made to certain employees of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply in the State of Tocantins, including an ex-superintendent of such agency. On August 30, 2017, the Brazilian Federal police launched another investigation, called Operation Vegas, which is an unfolding of Operation Lucas. To date, determining whether the Company will be affected by the results of such investigations and by any of its stages and future consequences is not possible. The Company s interim financial information does not include any effects that may arise from this matter. Our conclusion is not qualified regarding this matter. Restatement of the corresponding figures As mentioned in Note 4 f), the statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 were reclassified for better presentation of the comparative corresponding figures, as described in such Note. Our conclusion does not have any modification regarding this matter. Other matters Statements of Value Added ( DVA ) We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2018, prepared under the responsibility of the Company s Management, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and considered supplemental information by IFRS, which does not require the presentation of a DVA. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they are not prepared, in all material respects, in relation to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

On July 31, 2017, the acquisition of JBS Argentina S.A., JBS Paraguay S.A. and Frigorífico Canelones S.A. (collectively, acquirees ), respectively, by the Company s subsidiaries: Pul Argentina S.A., Frigomerc S.A. and Pulsa S.A., was completed. Such acquisition transactions were completed under a document named SPA for the acquisition of 100% of the acquirees capital. Therefore, beginning July 31, 2017, the Company, through its abovementioned subsidiaries, acquired the control over such acquirees. The acquirees engage in the same core business as that of the Company. In addition, JBS Argentina S.A. has two manufacturing units for processed products operating under the Swift brand. These acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Company s business plan: Opportunity to become South America s most diversified meat production platform; Geographical diversification: Minerva Group now has slaughtering units in five South America countries and its slaughtering capacity expanded by approximately 9,000 heads/day (+52% over the current one); Minerva s consolidated capacity: expanded from 17.3 thousand to 26.4 thousand heads/day; and Units acquired holding certification to export to premium markets, including the US, Japan and China. The acquisition was completed for the total amount of US$322,699,737 (equivalent to R$1,010,082 on July 31, 2017), of which US$302,699,737 (equivalent to R$947,480 on July 31, 2017) was paid in cash and US$20,000 thousand (equivalent to R$62,602 on July 31, 2017) will remain restricted to cover contingent risks. Acquirees Acquisition price Portion paid Restricted portion JBS Argentina S.A. US$ 182,699,737 US$ 172,699,737 US$ 10,000,000 JBS Paraguay S.A.

18 18 The amount of US$22,699,737 was added to the acquisition price of US$300,000 thousand as acquisition price adjustment, as set forth in the SPA agreement. The right to offset contingencies by using the restricted portion entitled the Company to recognize indeminifiable asset in its consolidated balance sheet, classified in Other receivables. Such indemnifiable asset, measured at US$20,000 thousand (same amount as that of the restricted portion), corresponds to the maximum amount that may be reimbursed in offsetting any contingencies identified by the legal advisors engaged by the Company. However, the accurate amount that will be used to offset contingencies would be formalized by the parties at the beginning of On February 20, 2018, the sellers formalized their acceptance of the agreement on the release of the restricted portion. Accordingly, buyers paid the amount of US$2,000 thousand (equivalent to R$6,501 thousand as of that date), relating to the difference of the original indeminifiable portion (US$20,000 thousand). Such amount was paid by subsidiary Frigomerc S.A.

These amounts primarily derived from the recognition of property, plant and equipment at fair value, in both units, and intangible assets, only in PUL Argentina. The goodwill amount of R$5,766 was recorded in the balance sheet in Intangible assets of Frigomerc S.A. 3. Basis of preparation Statement of compliance (with IFRSs and CPC standards) The interim financial information has been prepared and is presented in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law and the accounting standards and procedures issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), which are in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Company s interim financial information is presented in accordance with Technical Instruction OCPC 07, which addresses the basic preparation and disclosure requirements to be observed in financial reporting, especially in the explanatory information. Management asserts that all the relevant information reported in the interim financial information is being disclosed and corresponds to that used in managing the Company.

21 21 The presentation of the Statement of Value Added (DVA), individual and consolidated, is required by Brazilian Corporate Law and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to publiclyheld companies. IFRS does not require the presentation of such statement. Consequently, the presentation of the Statement of Value Added is considered by IFRS as supplemental information, without any prejudice to the set of financial statements. The Company s individual and consolidated interim financial information is presented in Brazilian reais (R$), which is the Company s functional currency. The significant accounting policies adopted in preparing the interim financial information are as follows: These accounting policies were applied consistently to all periods reported, unless stated otherwise. 4. Summary of significant accounting policies a) Basis of measurement The interim financial information was prepared at historical cost, except for the measurement of certain assets and liabilities such as financial instruments and biological assets, which are stated at fair value. b) Functional and reporting currency The interim financial information of each subsidiary included in the Company s consolidation and that used as a basis for measuring investments under the equity method has been prepared based on each entity s functional currency. The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment where it operates. In defining the functional currency of each subsidiary, Management considered which currency significantly influences the sale price of its products and services rendered, and the currency in which most of the cost of its inputs production is paid or incurred. The interim financial information is presented in Brazilian reais, which is the Parent s functional and reporting currency. c) Foreign operations The foreign subsidiaries adopted the following functional currencies in preparing the interim financial information as at March 31, 2018: Guarani (Paraguai-PY) Friasa S.A and Frigomerc S.A.; US Dollar (US$) Pulsa S.A, Frigorífico Carasco S.A, Lytmer S.A.; Minerva Overseas I, Minerva Overseas II, Minerva Meat USA, Minerva USA LLC, and Minerva Luxembourg; Sterling Pound (GBP) Minerva Europe Ltd. Chilean Peso Minerva Foods Chile SpA and Minerva Live Cattle Export SPA;

22 22 Colombian Peso Minerva Colômbia S.A.S, Red Cárnica S.A.S, and Red Industrial Colombiana S.A.S. Australian Dollar Minerva Australia Holdings PTY Ltd. Argentinean Pesos Pul Argentina S.A. This interim financial information, where applicable, is adjusted to conform to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and translated into Brazilian reais (R$) by applying the following procedures: Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the closing rate of the respective currency for the Brazilian real (R$) at the end of the respective balance sheets; In the last balance sheet corresponding to equity translated at the historical exchange rate prevailing at that time and the changes in equity for the current period/year are translated at the historical exchange rates on the dates of the transactions, and the profit earned or loss incurred is translated and accumulated at an average historical monthly exchange rate, as indicated in the topic below; Revenues, costs and expenses for the current period/year are translated and accrued at an average historical monthly exchange rate; Changes in foreign currency balances arising from the items above are recognized in a specific equity account, under Other comprehensive income, in accordance with the equity equation, namely: Assets less Total Liabilities equals Equity. The balances of investments, assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses from transactions between Minerva Group companies included in the consolidated interim financial information are eliminated. d) Foreign currency-denominated transactions and balances Foreign currency-denominated transactions and balances, i.e., all transactions conducted in a currency other than the functional currency, are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective trade date, as required by CPC 02 (R2) Effects of Changes in Exchange Rates and Translation of Financial Statements. Assets and liabilities subject to currency fluctuations are adjusted using the exchange rates prevailing on the last business day of each year or reporting periods. Gains and losses arising from changes in foreign investments are recognized directly in equity, under Other comprehensive income, and recognized in the statement of profit or loss when these investments are fully or partially sold. Nonmonetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date.

23 23 e) Use of estimates and judgment The preparation of individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IFRS and CPC standards requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are revised on an ongoing basis. Revisions related to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which estimates are revised and in any affected future periods. f) Reclassification of the balances in the statements of cash flows for the threemonth period ended March 31, 2017 In preparing the statements of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company s management revised certain accounting policies relating to the reclassification and presentation of certain transactions that ultimately impacted the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the statement of cash flows, summarized below, and reflect the reclassifications of the figures corresponding to the period ended March 31, Such restatement was made as required by technical pronouncements CPC 23 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (approved by NBC TG 23 (R-1), issued by the Federal Accounting Council, and CPC 26 (R1) - Presentation of final statements (approved by NBC TG 26 (R-3), issued by the Federal Accounting Council, both approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), as required by accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The table below shows only those account balances impacted by the reclassifications in the statements of cash flows:

For each business combination, the Company assesses if it will measure the noncontrolling interests at their fair value or based on the proportionate equity interest of the noncontrolling interests on the identifiable net assets determined on the acquisition date.

25 25 Transaction costs, whether or not associated to the issuance of debt securities or equity securities, incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries on a business combination, are recognized as expenses as they are incurred. i) Subsidiaries and joint ventures The interim financial information of subsidiaries is included in the consolidated interim financial information as from the date control starts to be exercised through the date it ceases to be exercised. ii) Transactions eliminated in consolidation All intragroup transactions and any intragroup revenue and expenses are eliminated in preparing the consolidated interim financial information. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with investees and recorded under the equity method are eliminated against the investment proportionately to the Company s equity interest in the investees. Unrealized losses, if any, are not eliminated the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no indication of impairment. h) Revenue and expense recognition Results from operations (revenue, costs and expenses) are recognized on the accrual basis for the years and periods. Revenue from sales of products is recognized when its amount can be reliably measured and all risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer. i) Cash and cash equivalents and securities Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid shortterm investments. See Note 5 for details on the Company s and its subsidiaries' cash and cash equivalents. i) Financial instruments The Company s and its subsidiaries financial instruments have been classified into the following categories: Nonderivative financial assets Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets held for trading, i.e., acquired or originated primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term, and derivatives. changes in fair value are accounted for in profit or loss, and balances are stated at fair value; Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. income earned are accounted for in profit or loss and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus income earned;

26 26 Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as availablefor-sale or were not classified into other categories: Initially, gains on these assets are fully recorded in profit (loss) for the year. However, gains and losses on the fair value measurement of these assets are recorded in equity, in line item Other comprehensive income, and transferred to profit (loss) when they are realized; Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, except for: (i) those that the Company intends to sell immediately or in the short term, and those that the Company classifies as measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those whose holders may not substantially recover their initial investment for any reason other than credit deterioration. Income earned is accounted for in profit or loss and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus income earned. Nonderivative financial liabilities The Company initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date they are originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are initially recognized on trade date when the Company becomes a party to the underlying contract. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or settled. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, there is a legally enforceable right to set off recognized amounts and the intent to either settle them on a net basis, or to recognize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company and its subsidiaries have the following non-derivative financial liabilities: borrowings, financing, debentures, trade payables, social security contributions, taxes payable and other payables. These financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus any attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost under the effective interest method. Derivative financial instruments The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated by the Company s treasury department based on information on each transaction and related market inputs at the end of the reporting period, such as interest rates and exchange coupon. When applicable, this information is compared to the positions informed by the trading desks of each financial institution involved.

27 27 Transactions involving derivative financial instruments that were contracted by the Company and its subsidiaries can be summarized as cattle futures contracts, options on cattle contracts and Non Deliverable Forward (NDF), all aiming exclusively to minimize the impact of price fluctuations per arroba (a unit of weight equivalent to 15 kg) of cattle in the statement of profit or loss, and to hedge against exchange risks related to statement of financial position accounts plus cash flows projected in foreign currency. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are initially recognized at their fair values at the commencement of the derivative agreement and are subsequently remeasured at fair value, whose changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss. Although the Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes, it did not choose the hedge accounting method. This accounting method is optional and, therefore, not mandatory. j) Trade receivables Carried at their present and realizable values. Trade receivables from foreign customers are adjusted based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. An allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in an amount considered sufficient by Management, based on monitoring of past due receivables and trade notes and the risk of not collecting installment sales. i) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, adjusted to market value and for any losses, when applicable. The inventory cost includes expenditures incurred on purchase of inventories, manufacturing and transformstion costs and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. k) Biological assets Biological assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Agricultural activities, such as cattle herd growth, arising from confinement of cattle or grazing cattle, and growth of different crops, are subject to fair value measurement based on the mark to market (MtM) concept. l) Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment items are measured at the historical purchase or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, accumulated impairment losses. The cost of certain property, plant and equipment items was determined by reference to the revaluation carried out prior to the enactment of Law No /2007, effective as at January 1, 2008, thus not requiring the appraisal of the deemed cost.

28 28 Cost includes expenses that are directly attributable to the purchase of an asset. The cost of assets constructed by the Company and its subsidiaries includes the cost of materials and direct labor, as well as any costs incurred to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for them to be able to operate in the manner intended by Management. Borrowings costs on qualifying assets have been capitalized since January 1, Rights on tangible assets intended for the maintenance of the Company s and its subsidiaries activities, arising from finance lease transactions, are recognized as if they were a financed purchase. At the start of each transaction, a property, plant and equipment item and a financing liability are recognized, with assets being subject to depreciation calculated in accordance with the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Gains and losses on the disposal of a property, plant and equipment item are calculated by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount of the item, and are recognized in other operating income (expenses), in profit or loss. Depreciation Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis, based on the estimated useful lives of each part of a property, plant and equipment item, as this method is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the asset are consumed. The average useful lives estimated by the Company s Management, based on technical studies for the current and comparative periods, are as follows: Parent Consolidated Annual rates - % Annual rates - % Buildings 2.71% 2.28% Machinery and equipment 8.66% 8.35% Furniture and fixtures 9.71% 8.54% Company cars 10.66% 10.98% Computer hardware 18.04% 17.84% The depreciation methods, the estimated useful lives and the residual values are revised at each yearend, and possible adjustments are recognized as accounting estimates are changed. The balance of the revaluation reserve, as permitted by Law No /07 and mentioned in Note 21, will be held until its full amortization, full depreciation or sale of the assets.

29 29 m) Lease of fixed assets Finance lease agreements are recognized in property, plant and equipment and in liabilities as borrowings and financing at the loesser of the present value of the minimum mandatory lease payments of the agreement or the fair value of the assets, plus, when applicable, the initial direct costs incurred on the transaction. Finance lease is depreciated over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets. Operating lease agreements are recognized as expenses on a systematic basis representing the year in which the benefit on the leased asset is obtained, even if such payments are not made on that basis. n) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured upon initial recognition, at acquisition cost, subsequently, deducted from accumulated amortization and impairment losses, where applicable. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated economic useful lives and, when there are indications of impairment, are tested for impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful life are not amortized and are annually tested for impairment. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries Goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is carried as intangible assets in the consolidated interim financial information. o) Impairment test Financial assets The Company annually analyzes if there is an objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event ) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Nonfinancial assets Management annually tests the carrying amount of assets for impairment to determine whether events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Whenever an evidence of impairment is identified and the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable value, an allowance for impairment is recognized to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable value.

30 30 The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of the value in use and net sales price. In estimating the value in use of an asset, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present values, using a pretax discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital in the industry where the cash-generating unit operates. Whenever possible, the net sales price is determined based on a binding sale agreement conducted on an arm s length basis between the parties, adjusted by expenses attributable to the asset sale. If there is no such binding agreement, it should be based on the market price defined in an active market, or in the most recent transaction price with similar assets. The following criterion is also applied for determining impairment losses on specific assets: Goodwill based on expected future earnings Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or when circumstances indicate a loss due to impairment of the carrying amount. Intangible assets Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, individually or at the level of the cash-generating unit, as the case may be or when circumstances indicate a loss due to impairment of the carrying amount. p) Other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities An asset is recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will be generated in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries, and its cost or value can be reliably estimated. A liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle it. Liabilities include charges, inflation adjustments or exchange rate changes incurred and adjustments to present value. Provisions are recorded based on the best estimates of the risk involved. Assets and liabilities are classified as current when their realization or settlement is likely to occur within the next twelve months. Otherwise, assets and liabilities are stated as noncurrent.

31 31 q) Adjustment to present value of assets and liabilities Noncurrent monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted, when material, to their present value, and current assets and liabilities are adjusted when the effect is considered material in relation to the interim financial information. To calculate the discount to present value, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the amount to be discounted, the realization and settlement dates, according to discount rates that reflect the Company s and its subsidiaries value of money in time, which was approximately 9.87% per year, calculated according to the Company s and its subsidiaries weighted average cost of capital, as well as the specific risks related to the expected cash flows for the respective financial flows. The receipt and payment terms of accounts receivables and payables arising from the Company s and its subsidiaries operating activities are short, thus resulting in a discount amount considered immaterial for recording and disclosure, since the cost of generating information exceeds its benefit. Noncurrent assets and liabilities are calculated and recorded, when applicable and material. Calculations and analyses are revised on a quarterly basis. r) Income tax and social contribution Current and deferred income tax and social contribution for the current year or period are calculated at the rates of 15%, plus a 10% surtax on taxable profit exceeding R$240 for income tax and 9% on taxable profit for social contribution, considering the offset of tax loss carryforwards limited to 30% of the annual taxable profit. Income tax and social contribution expenses comprise current and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they are related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. The deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are not accounted for on the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences related to investments in subsidiaries and controlled entities when it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

32 32 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes imposed by the same tax authority on the same entity subject to taxation. Deferred income and social contribution tax assets are recognized on tax losses, tax credits, differences in accounting practices (IFRS) and deductible temporary differences that were not utilized, when future taxable profits will be available and against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that their realization is no longer probable. s) Contingent assets and contingent liabilities, and legal obligations The accounting policies adopted to record and disclose contingent assets and contingent liabilities and legal obligations are as follows: (i) contingent assets are recognized only when there are collaterals or favorable, unappealable court decisions. Contingent assets assessed as probable gain are only disclosed in an explanatory note; (ii) a provision for risks on contingent liabilities is recorded when losses are assessed as probable and the involved amounts can be reliably measured. Contingent liabilities assessed as possible losses are only disclosed in a note to the financial statements and contingent liabilities assessed as remote losses are neither provided for nor disclosed; and (iii) legal obligations are recorded as liabilities, regardless of the evaluation of the probabilities of success, for proceedings whereby the Company has challenged the constitutionality of taxes. t) Employee benefits The Company does not have post-employment benefits, such as defined benefit and/or contribution plans. All short-term benefits and paid leaves, as well as profit sharing and bonuses, are in accordance with the IRFS requirements. u) Revenue recognition Sales revenue is recognized net of related taxes and discounts. Taxes on sales are recognized when sales are billed and discounts are recognized when granted. Revenues from sales of products are recognized at the amount of the consideration to which the Company expects to have right, less returns, discounts and rebates and other decudctions, if applicable, and are recognized as the Company fulfills its performance obligations. The breakdown of sales revenue is shown in Note 24.

33 33 v) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated based on profit for the period attributable to the Company s controlling and noncontrolling shareholders and the weighted average number of outstanding shares in the respective period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding by instruments potentially convertible into shares with dilutive effect, during the reporting periods. w) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company s Board of Executive Officers, which is responsible for allocating funds and evaluating the performance by operating segment and strategic decision-making. x) New technical pronouncements adopted The following new standards, effective beginning January 1, 2018, were approved and issued by IASB e pelo CPC. Management adopted the following standards: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Issued in 2014, by IASB, the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (CPC 48 Financial Instruments), which replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (CPC 38 Financial Instruments) and all former IFRS 9 versions. The new standard combines the three aspects of the project relating to accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, asset impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, and early adoption of the standard is permitted. Except for hedge accounting, retrospective application is required; however, providing comparative information is not required. The Company adopted the new standard on its effective date and will not restate comparative information. In 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries performed an evaluation of the detailed impact of the IFRS 9 aspects relating to classification, measurement and impairment (For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not designate hedging frameworks for hedge accounting). This evaluation was made based on the information currently available and may be subject to changes arising from amendments to the business models adopted by the Company, for managing its assets over the subsequent years, when the Company and its subsidiaries will adopt the IFRS 9.

34 34 Below are the main topics covered by the Company s evaluation: i) Classification and measurement Evaluations were made by verifying the business model adopted by the Company in managing its financial assets to the detriment of the classifications established by IAS 39/CPC 38. Management adopted the new standard and, considering the Company s current transactions, did not identify changes that might have a significant impact on the interim financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries. (ii) Impairment IFRS 9 requires the Company to record expected credit losses on all of its financial assets measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income, based on 12 months, or over their life, when applicable. For this evaluation, the Company segregated financial assets based on their risk features and operating specifics and implemented models to recognize expected credit losses in light of the guidelines provided by IFRS 9. The Company and its subsidiaries expect to apply a simplified approach and record expected losses over their life or for 12 months, according to features of the financial assets. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 (CPC 47 Revenue from Contracts with Customers) was issued in May 2014, amended in April 2016, and provided a five-step model to account for revenue from contracts with customers. In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to thich the entity expected to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to a customer. The new standard will replace all current IFRS revenue recognition requirements. The full retrospective application or the modified retrospective application will be required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, The Company evaluated the potential impacts of IFRS 15 and di not impact significant impacts in relation to the practices currently applied. The presentation and disclousres required by IFRS 15, however, are more detailed than those in the currently effective IFRS.

35 35 y) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted The following standard will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 16 Leases In the middle of 2016, IASB approved this standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 01, 2019 and, in general terms, establishes that all lease agreements, either operating or finance, should be accounted for by recognizing the underlying assets and liabilities. The impacts of IFRS 16 on the Company s financial statements and disclosures have been evaluated by Management. z) Statements of value added The Company has prepared individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) in accordance with CPC 09 Statement of Value Added, which are presented as an integral part of the financial statements according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to publicly-held companies, whereas they are considered by IFRS as supplemental financial information, required as part of the financial statements taken as a whole. The objective of a statement of value added ( DVA ) is to show the wealth created by the Company and its subsidiaries, its distribution to those that contributed to generate such wealth, such as employees, financial institutions, shareholders, government, as well as the undistribution portion of wealth. 5. Cash and cash equivalents and securities The financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are comprised of the following: Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Cash 1, ,812 5,624 Banks - checking account 2,180 5, ,495 1,078,391 Cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies 2,408,630 2,194,587 2,497,690 2,194,587 2,411,963 2,200,545 3,207,997 3,278,602 Short-term investments In local currency: Bank certificates of deposit (CDB) 146, , , ,469 Debentures 350,469 67, ,802 91,431 Capitalization bonds 2,018 2,018 2,018 2,018 Investment fund Other financial assets - 80,783 80, , , , ,740 2,910,950 2,554,043 3,877,315 3,807,342

36 36 The short-term investments of the Company and its subsidiaries were classified according to their characteristics and purposes, as measured: (i) at fair value through profit or loss or (ii) held to maturity and are stated as follows: Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Measured at fair value through profit or loss 496, , , ,722 Held-to-maturity 2,018 2,018 2,018 2, , , , , Trade receivables Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Trade receivables - domestic market 117, , , ,554 Trade receivables - domestic market 313, , , ,335 Receivables - related parties 23,707 7, , ,069 1,176,390 1,408,889 ( - ) Allowance for expected credit losses (20,753) (20,072) (24,848) (23,429) 433, ,997 1,151,542 1,385,460 The aging list of trade receivables is as follows: Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Current: 301, , , ,528 Past due: Up to 30 days 73, , , , to 60 days 14,258 41,084 36,054 75, to 90 days 19,905 44,583 33,606 57, to 180 days 45,082 27,808 70,534 50, , ,069 1,176,390 1,408,889 Changes in the allowance for expected credit losses as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows: Parent Consolidated Balances at December 31, 2016 (19,100) (19,908) Allowance recognized (5,111) (8,599) Recovered receivables 3,572 3,572 Written-off receivables 781 1,720 Exchange rate changes (214) (214) Balances at December 31, 2017 (20,072) (23,429) Allowance recognized (634) (1,425) Recovered receivables - 53 Written-off receivables - - Exchange rate changes (47) (47) Balances at March 31, 2018 (20,753) (24,848) The Company has a Receivables Investment Fund (FIDC) for sale of parts of its receivables from domestic customers in the amount of R$285,960 (R$134,906 at December 31, 2017), without co-obligation or right of recourse, of which R$6,326 (R$5,611 at December 31, 2017) was comprised of subordinated units.

37 37 The percentage of equity interest and the number of FIDC shares refer to the guarantee and risk limit under the Company s responsibility, which correspond to the entirety of the subordinated shares paid in and held by the Company with FIDC. According to CVM Circular Letter No. 01/2017, for the purpose of presentation of definitive sale of receivables, the transferor cannot have control, involvement or future settlement regarding the overdue FIDC notes and, consequently, exposure to the risks arising from it. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to default risk limited to its subordinated shares. The Company follows a very strict credit granting policy, which results in low levels of default, which may be evidenced by the low amounts recorded, when compared to the Company s and its subsidiaries sales revenue. The Company has no collaterals for past-due trade notes receivable. 7. Inventories Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Finished products 389, , , ,005 Storeroom supplies and secondary materials 22,246 24,573 94, , , , , , Biological assets The Company and its subsidiaries that have cattle activities, such as cattle herd growth arising from the confinement of cattle or grazing cattle operations, are subject to revaluation of its assets, in order to determine their fair value based on the mark to market (MtM) concept, at least on a quarterly basis, recognizing the effects of such revaluations directly in profit or loss for the periods and years. Operations related to the Company s biological assets are represented by grazing cattle (extensive) and short-term confinement cattle (intensive). The operation is conducted through the acquisition of biological assets for resale, whose mark to market is reliably measured due to the existence of active markets, and are represented as follows: Parent Herd Consolidated Balance at December 31, , ,706 Increase due to acquisitions 271, ,683 Decrease due to sales (261,450) (376,737) Net (decrease) Increase due to births (deaths) (1,086) (1,477) Changes in fair value less estimated costs to sell 42,171 43,142 Balance at December 31, , ,317 Increase due to acquisitions 98, ,749 Decrease due to sales (102,403) (143,946) Net (decrease) Increase due to births (deaths) (811) (921) Changes in fair value less estimated costs to sell (3,264) (2,886) Balance at March 31, , ,313

38 38 As at March 31, 2018, farm cattle held for sale was comprised of 60,482 heads (62,457 at December 31, 2017), while confined cattle totaled 22,941 heads (20,389 at December 31, 2017). As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any type of biological assets with restricted ownership or pledged as collateral of liabilities, and there were no other risks (financial, commitments, and weather-related) that would impact the Company s biological assets. 9. Recoverable taxes Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Tax on revenue (PIS) 105,178 98, ,592 98,655 Tax on revenue (COFINS) 366, , , ,685 Reintegra (special tax for exporting companies) 1,650 1,650 27,586 18,500 State VAT (ICMS) 123, , , ,470 Income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) 250, , , ,193 IPI deemed credit VAT , ,852 Other 19,424 19,387 26,979 38, , ,183 1,071,364 1,064,262 Current liabilities 686, , , ,515 Noncurrent assets 179, , , ,747 PIS and COFINS (taxes on revenue) PIS and Cofins credits arise from the change in tax legislation, according to Laws Nos /02 and 10833/03, which established non-cumulativeness for these taxes, thus generating credits for exporting companies. Currently, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB) completed its inspection of the Company and its subsidiaries, with most of the requests for reimbursement of credits being authorized by the RFB, which has resulted in a significant amount arising from the refund of those credits during 2018 and Based on studies carried out by the Company s Management regarding the expectation of refund of these tax credits, a portion of these credits was segregated from current assets to noncurrent assets, which, as at March 31, 2018, totaled R$104,905, Parent and consolidated. The estimates of realization of the Company s and its subsidiaries tax credits are revised on a quarterly basis. State VAT (ICMS) ICMS credits result from the fact that the Company s exports are greater than its domestic sales, thus generating credits which, after ratified by state tax authorities, are used to purchase inputs for production, which may also be sold to third parties, as provided for in current legislation.

39 39 Out of the aforementioned credit balance, a substantial portion is under an inspection and ratification process by São Paulo State s Finance Department. The Company s Management expects to recover a significant portion of said credits throughout 2018 and Based on studies conducted by Management, an amount deemed sufficient to cover slower lawsuits was transferred from current assets to noncurrent assets, totaling R$55,096, Parent and consolidated. The estimates of realization of the Company s and its subsidiaries tax credits are revised on a quarterly basis. IPI deemed credit IPI deemed credits arise from the refund PIS/PASEP and COFINS contributions, provided for in Laws Nos. 9363/96 and 10276/01, arising from the acquisition of bovine raw materials from individuals and/or cooperatives. The Company was eligible by the Federal Revenue Service to offset/being refunded said credits. Based on technical studies and supported by the opinion of its tax advisors, the Company s Management understands that the tax credits from PIS, COFINS, ICMS, and IPI deemed credit, recorded in noncurrent assets, are expected to be realized by the end of Related parties Related-party transactions, conducted under the following conditions, are summarized in the table below and comprise: Intragroup receivable Parent 03/31/18 12/31/17 Minerva Dawn Farms S.A.

Income tax and social contribution calculations and respective income tax returns, when requested, are open to review by tax authorities for varying periods and statutes of limitations in relation to the related payment date or tax return filing dates. Based on studies and projections for the following years and considering the limits established by prevailing legislation, Management expects that the existing tax credits will be realized over a maximum term of ten years. The net carrying amounts has no direct relationship with the taxable profit for income tax and social contribution due to the differences between the accounting criteria and the pertinent tax legislation. Therefore, we recommend that the evolution of the realization of the tax credits resulting from tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences should not be taken as an indication of future taxable income.

The Company has only one class of common shares that would potentially result in dilution: debentures mandatorily convertible into shares : Diluted 03/31/18 03/31/17 Profit (loss) attributable to Company's owners (114,721) 2,363 Weighted average number of outstanding common shares (thousands) 220, ,618 Weighted average number of common shares used to calculate basic earnings 220, ,618 (loss) per share - thousands Diluted earnings (loss) per share - R$ (0,52130) 0, Risk management and financial instruments The Company s operations are exposed to market risks, especially foreign exchange and credit risks. The Company s investment management policy establishes the use of derivative financial instruments for hedging against these risk factors. Additionally, the Company may also contract derivative financial instruments to implement operating and financial strategies defined by the Board of Executive Officers and duly approved by the Board of Directors. Market risk management is carried out through the use of two models: calculation of VaR (Value at Risk) and calculation of impacts by applying stress scenarios. In the case of VaR, Management uses two distinct models: Parametric VaR and Monte Carlo Simulation VaR. Risks are constantly monitored and calculated at least twice a day. It is worth noting that the Company does not use exotic derivatives and does not have any such instrument in its portfolio. a. Policy on the Treasury's hedging transactions The Treasury Department is responsible for the implementation of the Company s hedging management policy and follows the decisions of the Risk Committee, which is composed of the Company's Board of Executive Officers and employees. The Risk Management Board is responsible for overseeing and monitoring compliance with the guidelines designed by the hedging policy, and reports itself to the CEO and the Risk Committee. The Company s hedging policy, approved by its Board of Directors, takes into consideration its two main risk factors: exchange rate and finished cattle.

69 69 I. Currency hedging policy The currency hedging policy aims to hedge the Company against currency fluctuations and is divided into two segments: i) Flow Cash flow hedging strategies are daily discussed with the Market Committee. The purpose of the cash flow hedging policy is to guarantee the Company's operating profit and hedge its flow of currencies, other than the Brazilian real, within a year. Hedge operations may use financial instruments available in the market, such as: US dollar futures transactions on B3, NDFs, funds raised in foreign currency, options and inflow of funds in US dollars. ii) Balance sheet The balance sheet hedge is monthly discussed at Board of Directors meetings. The purpose of the balance sheet hedging policy is to hedge the Company against its long-term debt in foreign currency. Balance sheet exposure is the flow of US dollar-denominated debt with maturity higher than one year. Hedge operations may use financial instruments available in the market, such as: US dollar cash withholding, bond buyback, NDFs, futures contracts on the BM&F, swaps, and options. II. Cattle hedging policy The objective of the cattle hedging policy is to minimize the imacts of fluctuation in the cattler arroba price on the Company s profit (loss). The policy is divided into two topics: i) Cattle forward contracts In order to guarantee raw material, especially in the cattle offseason, the Company purchases cattle for future delivery and uses B3 to sell futures contracts, minimizing the risk of price fluctuations per arroba of cattle. Hedge operations may use finished cattle instruments available in the market, such as: finished cattle futures contracts on B3 and options on finished cattle futures contracts on B3.

70 70 ii) Hedging of meat sold In order to guarantee the cost of the raw material used in its meat production, the Company uses the BM&F to purchase futures contracts, minimizing the risk of price fluctuations per arroba of cattle and hedging its operating margins obtained when meat is sold. Hedge operations may use finished cattle instruments available in the market, such as: finished cattle futures contracts on B3 and options on finished cattle futures contracts on B3. Statement of derivative positions The statement of derivative positions was prepared to present the derivative financial instruments contracted by the Company in the periods ended March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, according to their purpose (asset hedging and other purposes): Asset hedging position Description / thousand Fair value in R$ thousand Cumulative effect in R$ thousand 03/31/18 12/31/17 03/31/18 12/31/17 Amount Amount payable / receivable / (paid) (received) Futures Contracts: Purchase commitments DOL (US$) Other BGI (arrobas) Corn (bags) DI 1 DAY (R$) Soybean (bags) Sale commitments Foreign currency DOL (US$) BGI (arrobas) Corn (bags) Soybean (bags) Options Contracts Long position - Buying Foreign currency Other BGI (arrobas) Short position - Selling Foreign currency DOL (US$) Other BGI (arrobas) DI 1 DAY (R$) Long position - Purchase Foreign currency Other BGI (arrobas) DI 1 DAY (R$) - - Short position - Sale Foreign currency DOL (US$) Other BGI (arrobas) DI 1 DAY (R$) Forward contracts Long buying position NDF (dollar) Short selling position NDF (livestock) NDF (ARS) NDF (euro)

71 71 The reference values represent the base value, i.e. the opening amount at which the derivative agreement is entered into in order to calculate the positions and market value. The fair values were calculated as follows: USD Futures Contracts: US dollar futures contracts traded on B3 total fifty thousand US dollars (US$50,000) per notional contract and are adjusted on a daily basis. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the notional amount in US dollars by the reference US dollar for the contract disclosed by B3; Finished Cattle Futures Contracts (BGI): Finished cattle futures contracts (BGI) traded on B3 are valued at 330 arrobas. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the notional amount in Brazilian reais by the reference value for the contract disclosed by B3; Short Position Forward Contracts - NDF (Euro): The contracts are traded on OTC markets and, therefore, are not standardized neither adjusted on a daily basis. Their fair value is calculated by multiplying the negotiated notional amount and market rate of that date, and if carried until maturity, use the PTAX Euro selling rate disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil; Short Position Forward Contracts - NDF (US Dollar): The contracts are traded on OTC markets and, therefore, are not standardized neither adjusted on a daily basis. Their fair value is calculated by multiplying the negotiated notional amount and market rate of that date, and if carried until maturity, use the PTAX 800 selling rate disclosed by the Central Bank of Brazil. The fair values were estimated at the end of the reporting period, based on relevant market information. Changes in the assumptions and in financial market transactions may materially affect the estimates presented in the interim financial information. Outstanding OTC NDF, swap and options transactions traded on B3 Bolsa, Brasil, Balcão are marked to market. As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, they were recorded under NDF receivable/payable, Swaps and Options receivable, respectively.

Currency and interest rate risks The risk of fluctuations in exchange rate and interest rate on loans and financing, shortterm investments, receivables in foreign currency arising from exports, investments in foreign currency, and other payables denominated in foreign currency may be managed by using derivative financial instruments traded on stock exchanges, or OTC transactions such as swap, NDFs (Non Deliverable Forwards), and options.

72 72 The table below shows the Company s consolidated position, specifically with respect to its financial assets and liabilities, divided by currency and exchange exposure, thus presenting a picture of the net position of assets and liabilities per currency, compared with the net position of derivative financial instruments intended for hedging and management of the exchange exposure risk: Consolidated 03/31/2018 Currencies Domestic Foreign Total Assets Cash 1,812-1,812 Banks - checking account 157,058 3,049,127 3,206,185 Short-term investments 588,535 80, ,318 Trade receivables 372, ,560 1,151,542 Total current assets 1,120,387 3,908,470 5,028,857 Total assets 1,120,387 3,908,470 5,028,857 Consolidated 03/31/2018 Currencies Domestic Foreign Total Liabilities Financing - current 1,498,847 1,214,952 2,713,799 Trade payables 749,452 64, ,986 Total current liabilities 2,248,299 1,279,486 3,527,785 Financing - noncurrent 694,351 6,695,578 7,389,929 Total noncurrent liabilities 694,351 6,695,578 7,389,929 Total liabilities 2,942,650 7,975,064 10,917,714 Net financial debt 1,822,263 4,066,594 5,888,857 Hedging derivatives Net position 3,664 (322,823) (319,159) Currency position, net 1,825,927 3,743,771 5,569,698 The net position of derivative financial instruments is broken down as follows: Financial Instruments (net) Long (short) position, net at 03/31/2018 Long (short) position, net at 12/31/2017 Futures contracts - DOL (Dollar) (304,653) (502,352) Futures contrats BGI (Finished cattle) (86,662) (21,136) Options contracts (Dollar, Cattle, Corn and IDI) Swap contracts 9,079 (27,343) NDF (dollar + EURO + cattle + ARS) (1,211,195) (1,322,203) Total, net (1,593,306) (1,872,176) Financial assets and financial liabilities are restated in the interim financial information of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, at amounts that approximate the market values. Their respective revenues and expenses are recognized and presented on these dates according to their expected realization or settlement. Note that the amounts related to export orders (firm sale commitments) refer to orders from approved customers not invoiced yet (and therefore not accounted for), but which are already hedged against the risk of changes in foreign currency rates (US dollar or another foreign currency) through derivative financial instruments.

Credit risk The Company is potentially subject to credit risks related to accounts receivables, which are minimized with the diversification of its customer portfolio, given that the Company does not have a customer or business group that accounts for more than 10% of its revenues and restricts the granting of credit to customers with good financial and operating indices. d. Cattle price risks The Company s business is exposed to the volatility of cattle prices, its main raw material, whose variation results from factors outside Management s control, such as climate, volume of supply, transportation costs, agricultural policies and others. The Company, in accordance with its inventory policy, maintains its management strategy for this risk, working on physical control, which includes purchases in advance, confinement of cattle and the signing of contracts for future settlement (OTC and stock exchange), which ensure the realization of its inventories at a determined price level :v Fair value Over-the-counter (OTC) market 03/31/2018 Forward contract purchased Notional amount (@) 178,032 Futures Contract Price (R$/@) 148 Total R$/ ,355 Fair value BM&F market 03/31/2018 Futures contract sold Notional value (@) 162,980 Futures Contract Price (R$/@) 149 Total R$/ ,260 e. Cash sensitivity analysis table The purpose of the sensitivity analysis statements is to disclose separately the derivative financial instruments which, in the Company s opinion, are intended to hedge the exposure to risks. These financial instruments are grouped according to the risk factor that they intend to hedge (price risk, currency risk, credit risk etc.).

74 74 The scenarios were calculated based on the following assumptions: An upward movement represents an increase in prices or risk factors as at March 31, 2018; A downward movement represents a decrease in prices or risk factors as at March 31, 2018; Probable scenario: 6% impact; 25% fluctuation; and 50% fluctuation. The cash sensitivity statements were prepared in compliance with CVM Resolution No. 475/08 and take into consideration the positions in derivative financial instruments and their impacts on cash only.

Margin requirements A margin requirement call is applied to exchange transactions, whereby in order to cover margin calls, the Company uses public and private fixed income bonds, such as CDBs (bank deposit certificates) held in its portfolio, thus mitigating impacts on its cash flow. As at March 31, 2018, the amounts deposited for margin totaled R$48, Statements of comprehensive income As required by CPC 26 (R1) (IAS 1) Presentation of Interim Financial Statements, the Company presents below the changes in comprehensive income (loss) for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017: Parent Consolidated 03/31/18 03/31/17 03/31/18 03/31/17 Profit (loss) for the period (114,721) 2,363 (114,721) 2,462 Valuation adjustment to equity (15,698) 6,201 (15,698) 6,201 Total comprehensive income (loss) (130,419) 8,564 (130,419) 8,663 Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to: Company s owners (130,407) 8,564 (130,407) 8,564 Noncontrolling interests Total comprehensive income (130,407) 8,564 (130,407) 8, Insurance The Company and its subsidiaries have an insurance policy that mainly takes into consideration the concentration of risks, the significance and the replacement value of the assets.

Including proforma revenue from the new units acquired in Mercosur, LTM1Q18 net revenue came to approximately R$14.5 billion, in line with the guidance announced by the Company for the next 12 months as of July 2017, ranging between R$13.0 billion and R$14.4 billion. Based on this result, the Company is maintaining this guidance. First-quarter EBITDA totaled R$285.0 million, up 44.3% on 1Q17, while the EBITDA margin reached 8.1%. In the last 12 months, adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1,304.0 million, up 39.4% year on year. In 1Q18, Minerva accounted for 22% of South American exports and remained the largest beef exporter in the continent. After the implementation of the operating system in Argentina at the end of 1Q18, the integration process of the new units acquired in the Mercosur region now is under the process of applying the best operational and commercial pratices. This has already created business opportunities, which we are seizing through our distribution channels, trading companies and international offices. Operating cash flow was R$187.6 million and free cash flow to equity was R$51.6 million in 1Q18. The cash position totaled R$3.9 billion on 3/31/2018. At the close of 1Q18, financial leverage, measured by the net debt/ltm Adjusted EBITDA ratio, was 4.5x. Finally, it is worth noting the expectation of the opening of new markets to South American beef producers in the coming months: Japan will open to Uruguayan beef, Indonesia and the reopening of the United States to Brazilian beef, and the United States to Argentine beef.

78 1Q18 Results Message from Management The first quarter of 2018 was positive for South American beef exporters. The continued imbalance between the global supply of beef and growing international demand (mainly driven by heavy consumption in Asia and the Middle East) has created excellent business opportunities for cattle producers in the region. In 1Q18, Brazilian export volume increased 21% over 1Q17, while Uruguayan and Argentine export volume climbed 16% and 56%, respectively. All in all, the region has been responsible for nearly one third of global beef exports and Minerva accounted for 22% of this volume, remaining the regional leader in beef exports. The competitive advantages of the region have helped South American countries increase their access to other markets. Some examples of this trend include the expected opening of Indonesia and the reopening of the United States to Brazilian beef; the opening of North America to Argentine beef; and the opening of Japan to Uruguayan beef in the coming months. In this scenario, Minerva s exports once again performed exceptionally well, accounting for 63% of total fresh beef revenue, versus 57% in 4Q17 and 60% in 1Q17, especially thanks to the Company s geographical diversification, combined with the efficient use of risk management tools that support the decision about the product sales mix. In Brazil, gross revenue from fresh beef exports grew 40% year on year in 1Q18. The Mercosur units also recorded impressive growth, of over 120%, driven by both organic export growth and the new units in Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. Even compared with 4Q17, when the Company recorded strong results, volume from our Brazilian and Mercosur units moved up more than 5%. Despite typical first-quarter seasonality, domestic sales continued to reflect a structural increase in beef consumption in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Colombia, in line with the prospect of better macroeconomic conditions in these countries. The integration process of the newly acquired Mercosur units was concluded in early April, with the implementation of the operating system in Argentina. Now that the integration process has been completed, we will continue pursuing operational and commercial improvements through the adoption of efficiency programs in all the units. Our attention is now fully focused on the Company s financial deleveraging. Although we usually see operating cash consumption in the first quarter, our operations were able to generate R$52 million in value. This cash generation, combined with LTM EBITDA of R$1.3 billion, is already contributing to the reduction of leverage. Finally, it is worth noting that, over the last 10 years, we grew and expanded our production platform in South America, making us the most diversified beef company. In 2017, we took a bold step forward, increasing our capacity by more than 50%, all of which abroad. This growth changed the dynamics of our result, which would not be fully represented in the breakdown of data we used to disclose to the market. We are thus pleased to present, as of this earnings release, a breakdown that more accurately represents the Company s new reality. We aim to provide transparent information to our stakeholders at all times and have decided to segment information based on the different dynamics of each region and/or business area. There are now three business areas: the Brazilian Industry Division, the International Industry Division and the Trading Division, each with its own peculiarities. We have also separated the Industry Overview section of the earnings release, turning it into a separate report, which will be disclosed to the market before the Company s earnings release. Other reports will be created and sent to the market in order to help analysts and investors have a better understanding of the particularities of our operations. We believe this new breakdown and these new products will render the Company s analysis more accurate, allowing the market to better perceive our specificities. Fernando Galletti de Queiroz, CEO 78

86 1Q18 Results Domestic Market 31.1% of Gross Revenue from the International Industry Division in 1Q18 We have been increasingly using our production platforms to meet growing domestic demand in the different countries where we operate and we have made progress in the sale of products from different areas. In Argentina, after separating the strategies of the business units, the performance of Swift processed foods has stood out, with 3 p.p. market share gains in the last twelve months. This segment has sustainably grown into the distribution channels, specially into the physical distribution in the traditional retail. Supported by this strategy, gross revenue from the International Industry Division totaled R$463.4 million in 1Q18, 303.4% more than in 1Q17 and 8.1% less than in 4Q17. Although domestic consumption is lower in the first quarter, consumption is recovering in the Argentine and Paraguayan domestic market, in line with the improvement in these countries macroeconomic indicators. In the last 12 months, domestic revenue from this division totaled R$1,496.6 million, up 198.5% year on year. TRADING DIVISION Exports accounted for 31.9% of gross revenue from this Division, which reached R$169.1 million, 125.6% more than in 1Q17 and 19.9% less than in 4Q17. One of the main drivers of the positive performance of this Division was the normalization of Live Cattle exports, which generated revenue four times higher than in 1Q17 and up 32% on 4Q17. Domestic sales accounted for 68.1% of gross revenue from the Trading Division, which totaled R$360.8 million in 1Q18, 50.4% higher than in 1Q17, but 37.3% lower than in the previous quarter. This quarter, the local market performance was fueled by the resale of third-party products, which climbed 90% over 1Q17 revenue and 61% over 4Q17 revenue, thanks to the Company s commercial strategy implemented in the last few months, more focused on the performance of trading companies both in the domestic and in the export market and increased point-of-sale capillarity. In the last 12 months, gross revenue came to R$2,495.2 million, up 108.5% year on year.
