PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Financial Information
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which
are based on:
·
Brazilian corporate law (Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended, including the
provisions of Law No. 11,638, dated December 28, 2007, Law No. 11,941, dated May 27, 2009
and Law No. 12,431, dated June 24, 2011) ("Brazilian Corporate Law");
·
accounting pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (Comitê de
Pronunciamentos Contábeis, or the "CPC"); and
·
as we are a public company in Brazil, rules and regulations issued by the Brazilian security and
exchange commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or the "CVM").
We refer to these accounting practices as "Brazilian GAAP." Brazilian GAAP has changed in recent
years to converge with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards
and Interpretations ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Our
consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, and as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were prepared in accordance with
IFRS and Brazilian GAAP.
This offering memorandum contains unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of and
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and the notes thereto, which have been reviewed,
but have not been audited, by Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes and contains the review report of
Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes with respect thereto. The financial statements as of and for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 also contain comparative information as of and for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2019 which is derived from our unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, which are not
contained in this offering memorandum. This offering memorandum also contains our financial
information derived from our audited consolidated and individual financial statements as of and for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (which contain comparative information for the financial year
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively), and the notes thereto, and contains the audit report of
Grant Thornton Auditores Independentes with respect thereto. See below for further discussion. Our
consolidated financial statements include both guarantor and non-guarantor companies.
In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations ("IFRS
5"), in periods where we have either disposed of, or classified for sale, an operation, we are also required
to disclose in the current period those operations' results as discontinued operations. When such conditions
exist, we are required to present the results of operations of discontinued businesses and any gain on sale
of a discontinued businesses as a single amount in our statement of income separate from our continuing
operations for the current period, to present the comparative period results of operations on a similar basis
and to present any assets held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet in the period in which
the transaction occurs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we disposed of the Keystone Foods
("Keystone") business, as described in more detail below, and our audited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 include the required disclosure of the results
of operations of the discontinued business.
On November 30, 2018, we sold to Tyson Foods, Inc. ("Tyson") our entire ownership interest in
certain Marfrig subsidiaries that own and operate the Keystone business unit. The total consideration for
the sale was U.S.$2.4 billion, and the amount received by Marfrig after contractual adjustments, such as
the exclusion of Keystone's net debt, was U.S.$1.4 billion, which remains subject to purchase price
adjustments. See "Discontinued Operations."
On June 5, 2018, we acquired a 51% controlling interest in National Beef Packing Company, LLC
("National Beef") from Jefferies Financial Group Inc. ("Jefferies") and other shareholders for
v

R$3.7 billion. See note 12.2 to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2018. On November 29, 2019, we acquired an additional 31.1715% interest in National
Beef for an amount in cash equal to U.S.$860,000,000 plus all applicable accrued but unpaid distributions,
which amounted to an aggregate consideration of U.S.$970,000,000 that was partially financed by external
sources, bringing our interest from 51% to 81.73%. See note 11.2.3 to our audited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Our audited consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2018
(i) include the results of the National Beef business only from the date of acquisition on June 5, 2018 and
(ii) exclude the results of operations of the Keystone business, reflecting their status as discontinued
operations (the "Discontinued Operations"). Our consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated
statement of changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated statement of added value as of December
31, 2018 exclude Discontinued Operations.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial data contained in this offering memorandum are presented
on the basis of continuing operations only.
Adjusted EBITDA
Marfrig's earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")
consists of net income (loss) adjusted by net financial income (expenses), income taxes and social
contribution, equity in earnings (losses) of subsidiaries, other operating income (expenses) and
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA (continuing operations) excludes the financial results of
assets classified as discontinued operations for the periods indicated. For the year ended December 31,
2018, Adjusted EBITDA (continuing operations) includes the gain on sale of discontinued operations of
R$3,445 million after tax, in accordance with IFRS 5.
For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (continuing operations) to net income, see "Selected
Financial Information--Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation." We use Adjusted EBITDA as an additional
measure to monitor our operating and economic performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure
recognized under Brazilian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered individually as an
alternative to net income, as a measure of operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow or as a
measure of liquidity. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA in a manner that is different from
ours. We publish Adjusted EBITDA because we use it as a measure of performance, and we consider
Adjusted EBITDA a useful measure because it is frequently used by capital markets analysts, investors
and other parties interested in evaluating companies in our industry. Because Adjusted EBITDA does not
reflect financial revenues or expenses, taxes, social contribution tax or depreciation and amortization, it is
an indicator of our general financial performance, which is not affected by changes in interest rates, debt,
taxes, social contribution tax rates or rates of depreciation and amortization. As a result, we believe that
Adjusted EBITDA is a useful tool to compare our operating performance in different periods, and as a
basis for certain management decisions. In addition to our general financial performance, we believe that
Adjusted EBITDA also enables us to better understand our ability to discharge our liabilities and to finance
our capital expenses and working capital. However, the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of
profitability is limited, since it does not reflect a number of the costs and expenses involved in doing
business, such as financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital expenses and other related costs, any of
which may have a significant effect on our net income.
Rounding
Certain amounts and percentages included in this offering memorandum have been rounded to
facilitate their presentation. The totals presented in certain tables therefore may not be exactly the sum of
the preceding amounts.
vi

Convenience Translations into U.S. Dollars
Certain Brazilian real amounts included in this offering memorandum have been translated, solely
for the purposes of convenience for the reader, into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate as of September 30,
2020 of R$5.6401 to U.S.$1.00. Where those amounts have been translated, the relevant figures have been
annotated.
Market Information
We have obtained the market and competitive position data, including market forecasts, used
throughout this offering memorandum from internal surveys, market research, publicly available
information and industry publications. We include data from reports prepared by us; the United States
Department of Agriculture (the "USDA"); the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply
(Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento, or "MAPA"); the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and
Employment (Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, or "MTE"); Dom Cabral Foundation (Fundação Dom
Cabral), an educational institution located in the city of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, in the city
of Nova Lima, state of Minas Gerais, and in the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo; the Brazilian Institute
of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, or the "IBGE"); School of
Agriculture Luiz de Queiroz (Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, or the "ESALQ"); the
International Monetary Fund ("IMF"); and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(the "FAO"), among others. Industry publications, including the ones referred to in this offering
memorandum, generally state that the information presented in that publication has been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of the information is not guaranteed.
Similarly, internal surveys, industry forecasts and market research, while we believe to be reliable, have
not been independently verified, and neither we nor the initial purchasers make any representation as to
the accuracy of the information. Information from third parties has been accurately reproduced and as far
as we are aware and are able to ascertain from information published by that third party, no facts have
been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.
Operational Information
Unless otherwise indicated, all production, plant and capacity data contained in this offering
memorandum are presented on the basis of continuing operations only, which includes the National Beef
business, but excludes the Keystone business.
Covenant Net Debt
This offering memorandum contains information with respect to our net debt as adjusted to take into
account the difference in the value in reais of our foreign currency denominated debt as of the date of the
incurrence of such debt (using the then current exchange rate) and as of the last day of the most recent
financial statements available ("Covenant Net Debt"). Covenant Net Debt is calculated pursuant to the
terms of our financing agreements for the purposes of compliance with certain financial covenants therein,
including Covenant Net Debt/EBITDA ratio. See note 17.2 to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, "--EBITDA" and "Selected
Financial Information--EBITDA Reconciliation."

SUMMARY
We present below a summary of our activities, financial and operating information, strengths and
strategies. Before investing in the notes, potential investors should carefully read this entire offering
memorandum to best understand our business and the offering, including our financial statements and related
notes, as well as the sections "Risk Factors," "Summary of Financial and Other Information," "Selected
Financial Information" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." Some of the statements in this summary constitute forward-looking statements. See "Forward-
Looking Statements."
Introduction
We are a multinational corporation and the world's second largest beef company in terms of production
capacity. As of September 30, 2020, we operated 20 slaughter plants and 12 processed food plants across
North America and South America. Our activities include the production, processing, sale and distribution of
foods made from animal protein, primarily beef, as well as a variety of other food products, such as frozen
vegetables, lamb, pork, fish, sauces and desserts.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, approximately 74% of our revenue came from our
North America business and 26% came from our South America business. In South America approximately
11% of our revenue originates from sales of processed products such as canned meat, hamburgers and
vegetables.
With approximately 32,000 employees, we operate in the food service, retail and wholesale channels,
offering innovative, safe and healthy choices. We have a diversified and comprehensive portfolio of products
that can be found in major restaurant and supermarket chains and that reach millions of individual customers
in approximately 100 countries.
As of September 30, 2020, we had a daily slaughtering capacity of 30,100 head of cattle and 6,500 lambs.
Together, this production platform gives us important geographic diversity which mitigates fluctuations in the
cattle cycle given the spread of our production over many countries in the Americas as well as the ability to
hedge against certain industry risks.
On June 5, 2018, we acquired a 51% controlling interest in National Beef from Jefferies and other
shareholders for R$3.7 billion. On November 29, 2019, we acquired an additional 31.1715% interest in
National Beef for an aggregate consideration of U.S.$970,000,000, bringing our interest from 51% to 81.73%.
See note 11.2.3 to our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
2019. On November 30, 2018, we sold to Tyson, for consideration of U.S.$2.4 billion (subject to purchase
price adjustments), our entire ownership interest in our subsidiaries that owned and operated the Keystone
business unit. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry--The corporate transactions
we engage in may adversely affect us" and "Discontinued Operations."
The strategy behind the purchase of National Beef and the sale of Keystone was to allow us to focus on
our core beef business, expand our footprint in North America, the world's largest consumer beef market, and
reduce our leverage.
Our business structure comprises two main divisions: North America and South America.
·
North America -- Our North America business consists mainly of National Beef, which is the fourth
largest beef processor in the United States. With three slaughter plants with a capacity of
approximately 13,100 head/day, National Beef represents approximately 14% of the fed steer and
heifer processing capacity in the United States. As of September 30, 2020, the North America
business also had a production capacity of approximately 120,000 tons of beef patties per year and
one of the largest and most technologically advanced beef patty plants in the United States. The
North America business's products are sold domestically in the retail, wholesale, foodservice and
1

processed foods channels, and exported to various markets. It is also the United States' leading
exporter of chilled beef, with a focus on the Japanese and South Korean markets. This business also
operates a wet blue tannery, a refrigerated and livestock transportation business and an online direct-
