• Clear drop in business, on a high benchmark basis (with a 1st quarter
2016-2017 that had progressed by 12.3% on a like-for-like basis).
• One-off decline in business: • which concerns the three Business Units (HM.CLAUSE, Hazera and
VILMORIN-MIKADO),
• particularly in North America, without however altering, in the short-
term, the potential of this region, on which Vilmorin & Cie had recorded
several quarters of extremely strong growth.
• Performance that follows an extremely dynamic 4th quarter and which
reflects certain delays in activity, due in particular to temporary
problems of availability for certain seed varieties.
• Acceleration of the programmed rundown of the Japanese agricultural
supplies and equipment business in the VILMORIN-MIKADO Business

Europe:• Rapeseed: high level of growth (volume and value), particularly in Central Europe,
France and the United Kingdom, leading to significant market shares gains, thanks to a
portfolio of highly efficient products from a technical point of view.
• Straw cereals (wheat, barley): very slight increase in sales, in a market still affected by a
reduction in certified seeds.
• Forage and amenity grass seeds: slight growth in business.
South America:• Increase in sales, particularly for soybean, a relevant complement to the corn offering.
• Drop in sales for the first corn campaign in Brazil (safra), reflecting the current evolution
of cultivated acreage for this crop.
• Promising outlook for orders for the 2nd corn campaign (safrinha), for which acreage
should increase, but with less intensity than during the previous fiscal year.
• Confirmation of the growth objectives fixed for this region.
Asia:• Good start to the fiscal year, with a strong increase in business particularly in India.
Europe and North America:• Procurement of corn seeds is nearly complete, and according to the latest estimates, is
