9 Global Sugar Overview (2012/2013 crop) Brazil Cane production in Center-South region of Brazil in year 2011 had decreased first time in the last decade due to higher aged cane profile and unfavorable weather; as a result, the cane production dropped to 494 mm tons (-11.3%) from 557 mm tons last season The Center-South region of Brazil delayed the start of 2012/13 crushing season due to unseasonal raining. Crushing volumes ended July 12 are 22% lower than last year with sugar yield drop by 4% Australia So far, the sugar production in new season is slightly worse than last year. The sugar production number is estimated at 4.00 mm tons (-3.6%), reduced from 4.15 mm tons of last year. Russia The beet harvest started in early Aug 12 Root weight and sugar content increased from last year due to the weather conditions Even the beet farming areas are down by 11% this year, but the higher sugar yield coupled with increased capacity has made up for the loss Sugar production in 2012/13 is expected to match last year s level of 5.0 mm tons 9

10 Global Sugar Overview (2012/2013 crop) EU As a consequence of bad weather (colder and wetter than expected), the start of beet plantation has been forced to delay for 3 weeks, and so will the harvesting The sugar beet production will decrease to 16.7 mm tons (-9.8%) down from mm tons India For 2012, sugar production in India was 26.5 mm tons while consumption amounted 24.0 mm tons. India sugar producers exported the excess of 2.5 mm tons (out of the export quota of 3.0 mm tons) For updated situation in India, drought in India would be worse than expected, leading to an increase in domestic sugar price Current domestic price is significantly higher than world market price Export ban in India is possible China The 2011/12 production had ended at mm tons while consumption at mm tons and import approximately 3.00 mm tons 20112/13 higher support from domestic price and cane price this year should encourage farmers to grow more cane; it is estimated that the sugar production next year will be mm tons (+4%) 10

11 Global Sugar Situation Update (mm tons) Global Sugar Production, Consumption, and Stock 10yr avg stock level = 43.7% Source: F.O. Licth International Sugar and Sweetener Report According to the forecast, world sugar production will increase significantly to mm tons while the consumption is continue to grow and is expected to reach mm tons The surplus this year will bring world sugar stock up to 42.7% from the tough of 37.6% in 2010; however, it is still lower than the 10-year average level of 43.7% 11

12 World Sugar Price Movement ( NY#11 ) Wet Weather in Brazil, slow loading at port Santos Worst drought in 50 years in Midwest, USA Brazil reports its production to by quite stable (better than expected) The market fear of the reporting surplus number for 2 consecutive years 12

13 Thailand Sugar Situation (mm tons) Cane Volume: Thailand and KBS s Source: Office of Cane and Sugar Board (OSCB), the Company There are favorable factors contributing to good cane situation in Thailand, which are 1) sugar price in world market remains in high region for a relatively prolonged period, leading to continued high cane price, and 2) good weather conditions Thailand start its crushing season in Dec 11, and most of the sugar mills completed the crushing in Apr 12; the total cane crushed broke the record again with total mm ton (+2.7%) KBS s cane crushed for 2012 was 2.55 mm tons (-11.4%), decreased from the record high of 2.88 mm tons last season 13

17 Total Revenue Analysis (THB mm) Total Revenues KBS s total revenues for Q has dropped by 23.4% mainly due to the following factors THB2,800 mm THB2,144 mm Sugar sales decreased by 23.0% as sale volume has dropped by 27.4% owing to the delay in international logistics & transportation process Molasses sales decreased by 55.6% as average selling price of molasses this year is significantly lower than that of last year Sugar Sale Volume (mt.) Molasses Sales and Pricing (THB mm) (THB/ ton) 17

18 Quarterly Sale Volume (Tons) Low season of sugar business is Q4 of calendar year, which is the export season for Brazil s sugar, putting pressure on world sugar price overall Thai sugar companies hardly export their sugar during this period Normally, we export sugar during Q1 Q3 of calendar year; the concentration of export volume among these three quarters varies from year to year, subject to logistics and requirements of customers 18

19 Margin Analysis Margin Analysis Q2-12 vs Q2-11 Selling & Administrative Expenses to Sales 6.3% 7.1% Gross margin Q2-12 dropped by 6.4% mainly due to a dip in selling price of molasses this year EBIT margin Q2-12 decreased by 7.1% mainly due to the reduction in gross margin coupled with an increase in SG&A to sale ratio Net margin Q2-12 had less effect and decreased by only 3.9%, thanks to the reduction in corporate income tax rate from 30% to 23% 19

20 Balance Sheet Hi-Lights (THB mm) KBS still has a strong balance sheet with D/E of 0.93x, and the Company is in a comfortable position to support expansion projects that will lead to sustainable growth prospect 20
