CELAYA, Mexico, Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., "Bachoco" or "the Company", (NYSE: IBA; BMV: Bachoco) announced today its unaudited results for the third quarter ("3Q14") and accumulated ("9M14") 2014 results ended September 30, 2014. All figures have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS"), and are presented in nominal million Mexican Pesos ("$").

HIGHLIGHTS- 2014 vs. 2013

Net sales increased 12.5% in 3Q14.
EBITDA margin was 16.4% for 3Q14 and 14.9% in the 9M14.
Earnings per basic and diluted share totaled $1.87 for 3Q14 and $4.78 for the 9M14.

CEO COMMENTS

Mr. Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu, Chief Executive Officer of Bachoco, stated: "For Bachoco, a third quarter used to be the weakest quarter for the year in terms of profitability; this year, the quarter did not follow that pattern, as favorable conditions present in the second quarter were extended into the third one.

Flexibility in our processes and implementation of new procedures, allowed us to take advantage of the conditions the industry offered and to achieve sound results.

In general, during the quarter we observed a very stable supply in our main product lines in both the US and Mexican markets; this, combined with the downtrend in our main raw material prices, allowed us to post a reduction in our production cost, contributing to our profits.

The Company remained in a healthy financial condition as net cash reached $7,766.3 million, as the cash and equivalents has increased 36.6% since the beginning of the year."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The following financial information is expressed in millions of nominal pesos, except for amounts per share or per ADR, with comparative figures for the same period in 2013.

The Company's 3Q14 net sales totaled $10,615.0 million, $1,178.0 million or 12.5% more than $9,437.0 million reported in 3Q13. The increase is a result of more volume of chicken sold and solid chicken and swine prices during the quarter; this result was partially offset with decreases in sales volume in the rest of our business lines when compared to the same quarter of 2013.

In 3Q14, sales of our U.S. operations remained strong and represented 20.1% of our total sales; this compares with 22.7% in 3Q13.

In 3Q14 the cost of sales totaled $8,138.2 million, $17.2 million or 0.2% lower than $8,155.5 million reported in 3Q13; the decrease in the cost of sales, despite the increase in volume sold, was mainly attributed to a steady decrease in the cost of main raw materials, and improvement in our production indexes in general, so that our average cost per unit was around 3% lower than the average cost per unit in 3Q13.

The gross profit was $2,476.8 million and a gross margin of 23.3% in 3Q14; this profit is much higher than a gross profit of $1,281.5 million and a gross margin of 13.6% reported in 3Q13.

Total SG&A expenses in 3Q14 were $945.2 million, $117.7 million or 14.2% more than the $827.5 million reported 3Q13. This increase is mainly attributed to higher sales and administrative expenses as our volume sold increased.

This item mainly includes the sale of unused assets as well as hens and other by-products. We record such sales as expenses when the sale price is below the book value of those assets.

In 3Q14, we recorded other income of $0.6 million, compared with other expenses of $80.9 million reported in 3Q13; the other income in 3Q is mainly attributed to gains in the sale of several unused assets.

In 9M14 the cost of sales totaled $24,143.9 million, $561.3 million or 2.3% lower than $24,705.3 million reported 9M13; the decrease in the cost of sales is attributed to production indexes improvements and lower prices of our main raw materials.

As a result, we reached a gross profit of $6,723.3 million and a gross margin of 21.8% in 9M14, a higher result than $5,267.1 million of gross profit and a margin of 17.6% reached in the same period of 2013.

Total SG&A expenses in 9M14 were $2,737.2 million, $288.4 million or 11.8% more than the $2,448.8 million reported 9M13. This increase is mainly attributed to higher volume sold and additional expenses incurred in the implementation of procedures to further improve the services we provide in our markets. Total SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales represented 8.9% in 9M14 compared to 8.2% in 9M13.

In 9M14 we had other expenses of $40.8 million, compared with other income of $31.7 million reported in 9M13; this is mainly attributed to losses in the sale of several unused assets.

The net financial income in 9M14 was $164.0 million higher when compared to net financial income of $111.6 million in 9M13, mainly attributed to higher interest income resulting from the high levels of cash and lower interest expenses.

Total taxes were $1,236.6 million as of September 30, 2014. These taxes include $709.1 million of income tax and $527.5 million of deferred income taxes; this figure compares to total taxes of $595.1 million, which includes income taxes of $833.4 and a positive amount in deferred income tax of $238.3 million in 9M13; the increase is attributed to a higher rate, which increased from 21% to 30%, in our main subsidiary in Mexico.
