Chicken meat prices

Aggregated volume of chicken meat sold to third parties increased by 7% in 9M 2018 to 449,215 tonnes (9M 2017: 419,080 tonnes) as a result of growth in exports. In Q3 2018, export sales totaled 80,361 tonnes, an increase of 52% compared to Q3 2017- 52,990 tonnes. In 9M 2018, poultry exports increased by 22% to 213,925 tonnes (9M 2017: 176,015 tonnes), mainly driven by growth of exports in Q3 and Q1 2018. MHP continued to follow a strategy of both geographic diversification and product mix optimization, building up the volumes of chicken meat sold across the MENA, the EU, Africa and Asia.

In 9M 2018, the average chicken meat price was UAH 39.66, 16% higher than in 9M 2017. The increase in price year-on-year is mainly driven by price growth in H2 2017 compared to H1 2017 as well as a decrease in sales of frozen chicken in Ukraine. From January 2018 until the end of September, chicken meat prices remained relatively stable.

Vegetable oil

In Q3 2018, sunflower oil sales volume were 92,866 tonnes, 21% higher year-on-year. In 9M 2018, MHP’s sales of sunflower oil remained stable compared to 9M 2017 at 240,970 tonnes. The changes in sales volumes in both periods are driven mainly by a change in delivery terms from DAP to FOB; since the beginning of 2018, production volume of sunflower oil remained relatively stable year-on-year. Sales of soybean oil reached 6,155 tonnes in Q3 2018, 25% lower year-on-year, as a result of lower and unattractive international soybean oil prices during the period; and 37,776 tonnes in 9M 2018, 68% higher year-on-year, mainly driven by an increase in global market price of soybean cake in H1 2018 and the low base in 9M 2017.

* pps - percentage points

As a result of the increase in sales volume and price of chicken meat, revenue increased by 19% in 9M 2018 compared to 9M 2017.

IAS 41 standard loss in 9M 2018 amounted to US$ 9 million mainly as a result of a reduction of poultry meat stocks and a decrease in the fair value of parent stock.

Gross profit of the poultry and related operations segment for Q3 2018 decreased by 5% compared to Q3 2017 to US$ 76 million. This was mainly attributable to increased production costs, reflecting higher prices of grain consumed as well as higher payroll costs, partly offset by the increase in sales volume and price of chicken meat. In 9M 2018 compared to 9M 2017, gross profit remained almost stable at US$ 228 million.

In 9M 2018, adjusted EBITDA decreased by 13%, mainly related to a decrease in government grants income (there was no allocation of grants/subsidies in Ukraine’s 2018 budget), as well as an increase in administration, sales and distribution expenses mainly due to increases in payroll cost, logistics costs and warehouse rent.

Grain growing operations

In 2018 the Company harvested around 365,000 hectares of land.

Due to operational efficiency and favorable weather conditions in Ukraine, MHP delivered strong yields across all crops, especially in corn, which is a main driver of this year’s strong operational and financial results compared to 2017.

The Company’s harvesting campaign of spring crops is almost complete. As of the date of this report, MHP has harvested around 90% of corn and 100% of both soya and sunflower. The sowing campaign of winter crops has been completed.

Segment revenue of 9M 2018 increased by 14% year-on-year to US$ 100 million mainly as a result of increased prices both of meat processing and convenience food products and increased sales of convenience foods. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA slightly decreased mostly as a result of higher production costs compared to 9M 2017.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital for 9M 2018 amounted to US$ 243 million (9M 2017: US$ 242 million).

Use of funds in working capital during 9M 2018 is mostly related to crops in fields partly offset by a decrease in inventories due to internal consumption of crops harvested in 2017.

In 9M 2018, total CAPEX amounted to US$ 216 million mainly related to the launch of production sites of Phase 2 of the Vinnytsia Poultry Complex.

As of 30 September 2018, the share of long-term debt in the total outstanding debt decreased to 89% (96% of total debt as of 31 December 2017). The weighted average interest rate is around 7%.

As of 30 September 2018, MHP’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$ 181 million. Net debt increased to US$ 1,166 million, compared to US$ 1,031 million as at 31 December 2017.

The Net Debt / LTM EBITDA ratio was 2.60 as of 30 September 2018, well within the Eurobond covenant limit of 3.0.

As a hedge for currency risks, revenue from exports of grain, sunflower and soybean oil, sunflower husks and chicken meat are denominated in US Dollars, more than fully covering debt service expenses. Export revenue for 9M 2018 amounted to US$ 660 million or 58% of total revenue (US$ 561 million or 58% of total sales in 9M 2017).

Outlook

The recent launch of Phase 2 of the Vinnytsia Poultry Complex (3 brigades between May and September), as well as a decreased in share of thinning will results in around 625,000 tonnes of chicken meat production in 2018 (2017: 566,242 tonnes). Additional volumes mainly will be directed for export sales, which are expected to be at around 250,000 tonnes this year (2017: 220,983 tonnes).

Strong crop yields (especially of corn and soya) will positively affect the overall financial result of MHP in 2018.

Having announced, at the end of September 2018, its intention to acquire Perutnina Ptuj, a leading poultry and meat-processing company in the Balkans, MHP expects to complete this transaction by the end of 2018. MHP is undertaking a strategic step with this expansion, which will add value to the Company and strengthen its position as a global player, while Perutnina Ptuj will benefit from a long-term strategic investor.

We are confident that MHP will continue to deliver strong financial results, supported by a significant and growing share of hard currency revenues from exports of chicken, oils and grains.

Notes to Editors:

About MHP

MHP is the leading producer of poultry products in Ukraine with the greatest market share and highest brand recognition for its products. MHP owns and operates each of the key stages of chicken production processes, from feed grains and fodder production to egg hatching and grow out to processing, marketing, distribution and sales (including through MHP’s franchise outlets). Vertical integration reduces MHP’s dependence on suppliers and its exposure to increases in raw material prices. In addition to cost efficiency, vertical integration also allows MHP to maintain strict biosecurity and to control the quality of its inputs and the resulting quality and consistency of its products through to the point of sale. To support its sales, MHP maintains a distribution network consisting of 15 distribution and logistical centres, within major Ukrainian cities. MHP uses its trucks for the distribution of its products, which Management believes reduces overall transportation costs and delivery times.

MHP also has a leading grain cultivation business growing corn to support the vertical integration of its chicken production and increasingly other grains, such as wheat and rape, for sale to third parties. MHP leases agricultural land located primarily in the highly fertile black soil regions of Ukraine.

Since May 15, 2008, MHP has traded on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MHPC.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Key financial highlights

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 consolidated revenue increased by 17% and amounted to USD 1,136,184 thousand, compared to USD 970,464 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017. Export sales for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 constituted 58% of total revenue and amounted to USD 660,323 thousand, compared to USD 560,852 thousand, 58% of total revenue for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017. Overall increase in revenue is mainly attributable to the increased price and volume exports of chicken meat.

Gross profit has increased by 9% and amounted to USD 354,010 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 compared to USD 324,529 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017.

Operating profit decreased by 9% to USD 282,929 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 compared to USD 311,827 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017, mainly as a result of a decrease in government grants income (Note 5).

Profit for the period from continuing operations for nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 decreased by 44% and amounted to USD 141,650 thousand, compared to USD 251,257 thousand for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017.

On 6 March 2018, the Board of Directors of MHP SE approved a payment of the interim dividends of USD 0.7492 per share, equivalent to approximately USD 80,000 thousand, on 26 April 2018 to shareholders on the register as of 20 April 2018. The Board of Directors approved that no dividend will be paid on the Company’s shares held in treasury.

The Board of Directors of MHP SE also acknowledged the consent of WTI Trading Limited (the Company’s major shareholder) to be paid later than on the declared dividend payment date (but not later than 1 November 2018), with no interest accrued on the amount of dividend paid later (Note 12).

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, MHP SE paid dividends to shareholders of approximately USD 77,044 thousand.

Risks and uncertainties

There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties, which could have a material impact on the Group’s performance over the remaining nine months of the financial year and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The directors do not consider that the principal risks and uncertainties have changed since the publication of the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017. A detailed explanation of the risks, and how the Group seeks to mitigate the risks, can be found on pages 148 to 153 of the annual report which is available at www.mhp.com.cy.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been condensed or omitted. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of the Group management, necessary to fairly state the results of interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The 31 December 2017 statement of financial position was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113.

Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies and make adjustments as a result of adopting the following standards:

· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and

· IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In accordance with the transitional provisions, IFRS 9 was adopted without restating comparative information. The adjustments arising from the new requirements of recognition and measurement of financial liabilities are therefore not reflected in the restated balance sheet as at 31 December 2017, but are recognized in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2018(Note 11).

The adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies did not have any material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. The other standards did not result in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and the amounts reported in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 or prior periods.

For the Standards and Interpretations, as well as amendments to the Standards that were in issue but not yet effective management anticipates that their adoption will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in future periods, except those disclosed in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. The Management are currently assessing their potential impact. It is not practicable to provide a reasonable financial estimate of the effect until the detailed analysis is completed.

Functional and presentation currencies

The functional currency of Ukrainian companies of the Group is the Ukrainian Hryvnia ("UAH"); the functional currency of the Cyprus companies and Luxembourg company of the Group is US Dollars ("USD"). Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities concerned are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. Such transactions are initially recorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in such currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the reporting date. All realized and unrealized gains and losses arising on exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars ("USD"), which is the Group’s presentation currency.

The results and financial position of the Group are translated into the presentation currency using the following procedures:

· Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate as of the reporting date of that statement of financial position;

· Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions;

for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)

Functional and presentation currency (continued)

· All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity;

· All equity items, except for the revaluation reserve, are translated at the historical exchange rate. The revaluation reserve is translated at the closing rate as of the date of the statement of financial position.

For practical reasons, the Group translates items of income and expenses for each period presented in the financial statements using the quarterly average exchange rates, if such translations reasonably approximate the results translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

The following exchange rates were used:

Currency	Closing rate as of 30 September 2018	Average for nine months ended 30 September 2018	Closing rate as of 31 December 2017	Average for nine months ended 30 September 2017
UAH/USD	28.2983	26.9494	28.0672	26.4711
UAH/EUR	33.1288	32.2083	33.4954	29.4226

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, except those adopted starting from 1 January 2018 as described above in this note.

Seasonality of operations

Poultry and related operations as well as other agricultural operations are not significantly exposed to seasonal fluctuations.

Grain growing segment, due to seasonality and implications of IAS 41, in the first half of the year mainly reflects sales of carried forward agricultural produce and the effect of biological assets revaluation, while during the second half of the year it reflects sales of crops and the effect of revaluation of agricultural produce harvested during the year.

4. Profit for the period

The Group’s gross profit for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 increased compared to the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017 and amounted to USD 354,010 thousand and USD 324,529 thousand, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in export volumes and price of chicken meat as well as to the higher returns from the grain growing operations segment due to the yields increase in 2018 compared to 2017.

Net change in fair value reflects IAS 41 adjustment relating to revaluation of crops in fields, poultry and breeder stock and other biological assets balances to the fair value as of 30 September 2018 as well as revaluation of agricultural produce to the fair value at the date of harvest.

The Group’s operating profit decreased mainly due to reduction in government grants income (Note 5).

In line with the decrease in operating profit, the Group’s profit for the period from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 decreased compared to the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017 from USD 251,257 thousand to USD 141,650 thousand, respectively. An additional negative impact was attributable to a costs related to new Eurobond issued in April 2018 (Note 11) as well as to the non-cash foreign exchange translation loss.

5. Government grants income

On 30 December 2016, the President of Ukraine signed the Law No. 1791 "On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine Regarding the Balancing of Budget Revenues in 2017" (the "Law No. 1791"). The Law No. 1791 introduced changes to VAT administration for agricultural companies which previously enjoyed a special VAT regime. In order to continue state support for agricultural companies, the Law No. 1791 introduced budget subsidies for agricultural companies. From 2017 onwards, budget subsidies were provided for five consecutive years until 1 January 2022. The agricultural producers eligible for the subsidies, include those, involved in poultry production and animal farming, as well as fruit and vegetable farmers. For each agricultural producer, the amount of the direct subsidy is not to exceed the amount of VAT tax paid by the producer, and was distributed on a monthly basis. As of the date of the authorization of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Government has not allocated the specific amount for the state subsidies for qualifying agricultural companies in 2018. Therefore, during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 the Group was not able to receive state subsidies from the budget.

However, Ukrainian Government continues to support domestic agri producers and attract investments into the agricultural sector. According to the Law "On the State Budget for 2018", UAH 6,311 million were allocated to support the agricultural sector in 2018 via a compensation program, including UAH 4,000 million to support the livestock sector and up to UAH 1,000 million to purchase agricultural machinery produced in Ukraine. On 7 February 2018, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the procedure to obtain livestock sector state support.

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the Group received government grants in accordance to the compensation program for construction and reconstruction of livestock farms in an amount of UAH 187,492 thousand. Government grants are presented in the statement of financial position in the form of a deduction from the carrying amount of the assets to which they relate, and are recognised in a profit or loss over the life of the depreciable assets by way of a reduction in depreciation. Also, during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 the Group received UAH 8,446 thousand for keeping rearing cattle.

6. Property, plant and equipment

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the Group’s additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to USD 177,919 thousand (nine-month period ended 30 September 2017: USD 82,304 thousand) mainly related to construction works for Phase 2 of the Vinnytsia poultry project.

There were no significant disposals of property, plant and equipment during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018.

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

7. Inventories and agricultural produce

A decrease in inventory and agricultural produce balances for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 was mainly as a result of internal consumption of corn, sunflower and soya.

Changes of inventory balance apart from consumption of purchased grain stock have also occurred because as of 31 December 2017 expenses incurred in cultivating of fields which had to be planted in spring 2018 were capitalised in work in progress balance. As of 30 September 2018 those expenses were classified as crops in fields within biological assets, as the plants were already sown.

8. Biological assets

Increase in current biological assets as compared to 31 December 2017 is primarily related to crops in fields balance. The increase in crops in fields balance mainly relates to spring crops seeded in the first half of 2018 classified as biological assets as well as due to IAS 41 revaluation adjustment.

9. Shareholders’ equity

Share capital

As of 30 September 2018 and 31 December 2017 the authorized, issued and fully paid share capital of MHP SE comprised the following number of shares:

12. Related party balances and transactions

For the purposes of these financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the other party, or exercises significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions. In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, not merely the legal form.

Related parties may enter into transactions which unrelated parties might not, and transactions between related parties may not be effected on the same terms and conditions as transactions between unrelated parties.

Transactions with related parties under common control

The Group enters into transactions with related parties that are under common control of the Principal Shareholder of the Group (Note 1) in the ordinary course of business for the purchase and sale of goods and services.

Terms and conditions of sales to related parties are determined based on arrangements specific to each contract or transaction. Management believes that amounts receivable due from related parties do not require an allowance for irrecoverable amounts and that the amounts payable to related parties will be settled at cost.

Transactions with related parties during the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	2018	2017

Loans provided to key management personnel	719	413
Purchases from related parties	66	27

13. Contingencies and contractual commitments

Operating environment

In the recent years, Ukraine has been subject to political and economic turmoil. Crimea, an autonomous republic of Ukraine, was effectively annexed by the Russian Federation. In 2017-2018, an armed conflict with separatists continued in certain parts of Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 the inflation rate was 5.6% compared to 10.2% for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2017. The Ukrainian economy proceeded to recover from the economic and political crisis of previous years that resulted in real GDP growth of around 3.8% year on year for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and stabilization of the national currency. From a trading perspective, the economy was refocusing on the European Union ("EU") market, which was a result of the signed Association Agreement with the EU in January 2016 that established the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area ("DCFTA"). Under this agreement, Ukraine has committed to harmonize its national trade-related rules, norms, and standards with those of the EU, progressively reduce import customs duties for the goods originating from the EU member states, and abolish export customs duties during a 10-year transitional period. Implementation of DCFTA began on 1 January 2017. As a result, the Russian Federation implemented a trade embargo or import duties on key Ukrainian export products. In response, Ukraine implemented similar measures against Russian products.

In terms of currency regulations, the National Bank of Ukraine ("NBU") decreased the required share of mandatory sale of foreign currency proceeds from 65% to 50% from April 2017, increased the settlement period for export-import transactions in foreign currency from 120 to 180 days from May 2017, and allowed companies to pay the 2013 (and earlier) dividends with a limit of USD 2 million per month from November 2017 (from June 2016, companies were allowed to pay dividends for 2014-2016 to non-residents with a limit of USD 5 million per month).

In March 2015, Ukraine signed a four-year Extended Fund Facility ("EFF") with the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") that will last until March 2019. The total program amounted to USD 17.5 billion, of which Ukraine has so far received only USD 8.7 billion. In September 2017, Ukraine successfully issued USD 3 billion of Eurobonds, of which USD 1.3 billion is new financing, with the remaining amount aimed to refinance the bonds due in 2019. The NBU expects that Ukraine will receive another USD 1.5 -2.0 billion from the IMF in 2018. To receive the next tranches, the government of Ukraine has to implement certain key reforms, including in such areas as the pension system, anti-corruption regulations, privatization and energy/gas sector policies.

Further stabilization of the economic and political situation depends, to a large extent, upon success of the Ukrainian government’s efforts, yet further economic and political developments are currently difficult to predict.

The management of the Group believes that the negative impact of the political and economic turmoil at the Group’s entities is limited due to the Group’s significant proportion of export sales, its access to the international financial markets and the significant distance of its main production sites from any conflict zones.

Taxation and legal issues

Ukrainian tax authorities are increasingly directing their attention to the business community as a result of the overall Ukrainian economic environment. The local and national tax environment is constantly changing and subject to inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement. Non-compliance with Ukrainian laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of severe penalties and fines. Future tax examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies’ tax filings. Such assessments could include taxes, penalties and fines, and these amounts could be material. While the Group believes it has complied with local tax legislation, there have been many new tax and foreign currency laws and related regulations introduced in recent years which are not always clearly written.

Management believes that the Group has been in compliance with all requirements of effective tax legislation and currently is assessing the possible impact of the introduced amendments.

Taxation and legal issues (continued)

The Group exports vegetable oil, chicken meat and related products, and performs intercompany transactions, which may potentially be in the scope of the Ukrainian transfer pricing ("TP") regulations. The Group has submitted the controlled transaction report for the year ended 31 December 2016 within the required deadline, and has prepared all necessary documentation on controlled transactions for the year ended 31 December 2017 as required by legislation and plans to submit report.

As of 30 September 2018, the Group’s management assessed its possible exposure to tax risks for a total amount of USD 4,356 thousand related to corporate income tax (31 December 2017: USD 4,392 thousand). No provision was charged of such possible tax exposure.

As of 30 September 2018, companies of the Group were engaged in ongoing litigation with tax authorities for the amount of USD 2,132 thousand (31 December 2017: USD 2,273 thousand), including USD 1,485 thousand (31 December 2017: USD 1,534 thousand) of litigations with the tax authorities related to disallowance of certain amounts of VAT refunds and deductible expenses claimed by the Group. Out of this amount, USD 1,220 thousand as of 30 September 2018 (31 December 2017: USD 1,457 thousand) relates to cases where court hearings have taken place and where the court in either the first or second instance has already ruled in favour of the Group.

Manage-ment believes that based on the past history of court resolutions of similar lawsuits by the Group, it is unlikely that a significant settlement will arise out of such lawsuits and no provision is required in the Group’s financial statements as of the reporting date.

Contractual commitments on purchase of property, plant and equipment

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the companies of the Group entered into a number of contracts with foreign suppliers for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for development of agricultural operations. As of 30 September 2018, purchase commitments on such contracts were primarily related to expansion of the Vinnytsya poultry complex and amounted to USD 19,559 thousand (31 December 2017: USD 17,412 thousand).

14. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value disclosures in respect of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure" and IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement". Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. As no readily available market exists for a large part of the Group’s financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a market exchange from the sale of its full holdings of a particular instrument.

The fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade accounts receivables, and trade accounts payable due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.

Set out below is the comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair values of all the Group’s financial instruments, excluding those discussed above, that are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position:

	Carrying amount		Fair value
	30 September 2018	31 December 2017	30 September 2018	31 December 2017

Financial liabilities

Bank borrowings (Note 10)	245,678	178,312	238,283	168,627
Senior Notes due in 2020, 2024, 2026(Note 11)	1,127,630	985,465	1,100,083	1,085,693
Finance lease obligations	12,755	11,450	12,905	11,691

(in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

14. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The carrying amount of Bank borrowings and Senior Notes issued includes interest accrued at each of the respective dates.

The fair value of bank borrowings and finance lease obligations was estimated by discounting the expected future cash outflows by a market rate of interest for bank borrowings 7.8% (31 December 2017: 7.7%) and for finance lease obligations 8.5% (31 December 2017: 9.3%), and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of Senior Notes was estimated based on market quotations and is within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. Risk management policy

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 there were no changes to the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing credit risk, capital risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, livestock diseases risk and commodity price and procurement risk.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

The Group does not use any derivatives to manage foreign currency risk exposure, Group management sets limits on the level of exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of 30 September 2018 and 31 December 2017 were as follows:

	30 September 2018		31 December 2017
	USD	EUR	USD	EUR

Total assets	137,902	15,300	133,197	10,504
Total liabilities	1,270,385	68,706	1,132,935	44,411

The table below details the Group’s sensitivity to strengthening/(weakening) of the Ukrainian Hryvnia against USD and EUR. This sensitivity range represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for possible change in foreign currency rates.

	Change in foreign currency exchange rates	Effect on profit before tax
2018

Increase in USD exchange rate	10%	(113,248)
Increase in EUR exchange rate	10%	(5,341)

Decrease in USD exchange rate	5%	56,624
Decrease in EUR exchange rate	5%	2,670

2017

Increase in USD exchange rate	10%	(99,974)
Increase in EUR exchange rate	10%	(3,391)

Decrease in USD exchange rate	5%	49,987
Decrease in EUR exchange rate	5%	1,695

The effect of foreign currency sensitivity on shareholders’ equity is equal to that reported in the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the Ukrainian Hryvnia appreciated against the EUR by 1.1% and depreciated against the USD by 0.8%, (nine-month period ended 30 September 2017: depreciated against the EUR by 9.0% and appreciated by 2.5% against the USD). As a result, during the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 the Group recognized a net foreign exchange loss in the amount of USD 16,482 thousand (nine-month period ended 30 September 2017: foreign exchange gain in the amount of USD 25,690 thousand) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
