Sales $12.65 billion: down 1 percent (2016: $12.79 billion) Seed sales up 6 percent Crop Protection sales down 3 percent with measures taken to address high channel inventory in Brazil EBITDA1 margin maintained at 21 percent before provision for MIR 162 Corn Litigation settlement Free cash flow $1.7 billion before acquisitions & ChemChina transaction outflows2 (2016: $1.4 billion) Nidera acquisition closed, strengthens LATAM seeds capability 1 EBITDA defined as earnings before interest, tax, non-controlling interests, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and impairment. 2 One off outflows to settle share plans following the ChemChina transaction. Erik Fyrwald, Chief Executive Officer, said: “2017 was an historic year for Syngenta with the closing of the ChemChina transaction. We achieved record free cash flow despite another challenging year for agriculture with continued pressure on farm incomes. Unfortunately, we were not able to overcome these challenges to revenue and Crop Protection sales declined. To help support faster growth in Seeds, in November 2017 we announced the purchase of Nidera Seeds from COFCO International. This will further strengthen our Seeds offer in the key Brazil and Argentina markets. Our commitment to bringing customers new technology was evident in the successful launch of ELATUS® in France, Germany and the UK and of FORTENZA® seed care for insect control in corn and soy in Latin America. In September 2017, plaintiffs and defendants in the MIR 162 Corn Litigation reached a settlement, subject to court approval, allowing both sides to avoid uncertainty of ongoing litigation.” Financial highlights 2017 Sales $12.65 billion Sales were 1 percent lower, 2 percent at constant exchange rates (CER). Crop protection sales were 3 percent lower, 4 percent at CER, at $9.2 billion. Seeds sales grew 6 percent, 5 percent at CER, to $2.8 billion. Sales grew 1 percent (CER) in Europe, Africa and Middle East with continued growth in the CIS markets largely offset by softness in other markets. Sales were up 5 percent (CER) in North America driven by strong sales in corn and soy seeds and a 2 percent (CER) improvement in CP sales, with solid growth in Canada. Asia Pacific sales were flat (CER) with growth in ASEAN offsetting declines in India. Sales in Latin America fell 14 percent (CER) with continued difficult Crop Protection market conditions and measures to resolve channel inventory issues in Brazil more than offsetting growth in the rest of the region. Flowers and Controls sales were 3 percent higher at $0.7 billion. Free Cash flow $1.7 billion Excluding acquisitions and one off outflows related to the settlement of share based equity plans following the acquisition by ChemChina, free cash flow was a record $1.7 billion (2016: $1.4 billion), reflecting a focus on improving trade working capital. ChemChina transaction On July 13, 2017, we announced that ChemChina’s holding in Syngenta exceeded 98%, and ChemChina applied to the Appellate Court of Basel for Syngenta’s shares to be canceled. On October 26, 2017, the delisting from the SIX Swiss Exchange was approved. On December 18, 2017, the Appellate court of Basel approved the cancellation of all Syngenta shares and subsequently on January 8, 2018, Syngenta was de-listed from the SIX Swiss Exchange. On January 18, 2018, the voluntary delisting of American Depositary Shares (ADS) from the New York Stock Exchange was completed.
