Due to the reconsolidation of our Zimbabwe subsidiary at March 31, 2016 its performance is included in consolidated financial results this year, however was not included in the prior year except for the March 31, 2016 balance sheet. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Debt include Zimbabwe in all periods.

Pieter Sikkel, Chief Executive Officer and President, said “Our results for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 include increased full service volumes and prior crop inventory sales. Improved performance throughout much of our global operations offset a considerable portion of the impact created by adverse El Niño weather, the stronger U.S. dollar and product mix that more heavily favored byproducts this year. Unfortunately, our operations in Brazil, the U.S., and Tanzania were more heavily affected by these factors and overshadowed operations with improvement.
