MESSAGE FROM T H E C EO G i l b e rto To m a zo n i , G l ob a l C EO J B S 2 JBS’ solid first quarter results reinforce that we are on the path to recovery as indicated in previous periods . In this first quarter of 2024 , we added nearly 2 percentage points to our consolidated EBITDA margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 , and almost 5 points compared to the first quarter of 2023 , achieving a margin of 7 . 2 % for the period . As a result of improvements implemented throughout 2023 , Seara stands out in the quarter . A focus on operational excellence is reflected in significant business margin improvement -- jumping from 6 . 4 % in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 11 . 6 % in the first quarter of 2024 . The closing of some operational gaps, the normalization of grain costs, and the growth in volume in the domestic market reinforce promising prospects for Seara this year . We maintain our focus on identifying consumer preferences and capturing operational opportunities . The focus on key customers, brand growth, and consolidation of the business in Europe, along with the pursuit of operational excellence, are reflected in Pilgrim’s strong performance . Business margins saw a significant increase, jumping from 6 . 5 % in the first quarter of 2023 to 11 . 5 % in the first quarter of 2024 . US Pork's margin similarly increased from 2 . 5 % to 16 . 4 % over the same period . Both the poultry and pork businesses are benefiting from the reduction of grain prices, as well as the rebalancing of supply and demand . The strength of our results once again highlights the importance of our geographical and protein diversification . In a traditionally weaker quarter for the global protein industry, the beef businesses in Brazil and Australia captured cattle cycle highs in both countries, while US Beef continues to experience weaker margins due to where we are in the region’s cattle cycle and seasonal conditions, as previously noted . We achieved Net Profit of US $ 332 . 3 million for the period, with Net Revenue of US $ 18 billion and adjusted EBITDA of US $ 1 . 3 billion . Our priority remains deleveraging : the leverage ratio decreased from 4 . 42 in dollars in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 3 . 66 in dollars in the first quarter of 2024 . The results from this quarter emphasize our confidence in JBS's long - term strategy, focused on expanding our global multiprotein platform and consolidating our portfolio of strong brands and value - added products . In this regard, we have made various investments over the past few years that will begin to yield results . In Brazil, we will open a new in natura pork plant and a prepared foods plant this year at the Dourados industrial complex in Mato Grosso do Sul . We also announced in April that we will double the capacity of our Campo Grande beef facility in the same state -- one of the recently approved China export facilities . In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, we are finalizing our third halal value - added products facility . And in San Sebastián, Spain, we will begin operations at the Bio Tech Foods cultivated protein plant . We remain focused on what we can control, to become increasingly competitive in each market where we operate . For this reason, we have an absolute focus on our operations, cost management, productivity increases, portfolio optimization, and price -- regardless of geography and economic fluctuations . We are confident that the strength of our platform, combined with our financial performance, and our commitment to excellence and innovation, will allow JBS to continue its growth trajectory, generating value for our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate .

N E T F INA N C I A L RESULT ¹Includes interest expense on loans and financing included under passive interest, and interest on financial investments included under active interest. In 1Q24, net debt financial expense was R$1.4 billion, corresponding to US$273 million. CONSOLI D A T E D R E S U LTS N E T R E S U L T In1Q24, JBS recorded a net profit of R$1.6 billion. C A SH F L OW FROM OPERATING A C TIV IT I E S A N D F R E E C A SH F L OW In 1 Q 24 , cash flow from operating activities was R $ 122 million, versus a negative cash flow from operating activities of R $ 3 billion in 1 Q 23 , this evolution is explained by the improvement in operational performance in almost all business units . Free cash flow, after adding property, plant and equipment, interest paid and received, and leasing was negative at R $ 3 . 1 billion, an improvement of 54 % compared to the same period of the previous year . It is worth mentioning that the first quarter of the year has, seasonally, the characteristic of consuming cash, due to the concentration of payments from cattle a nd h o g s u ppl i e r s , a nd re s t o c k i ng o f i nv en t o r i es . N E T C A SH P R OV I D ED (U S E D ) B Y INV E ST I N G ACTIVITIES In1Q24, the total value of cash flow from JBS' investment activities was R$1.4 billion, with the main investment being the addition of fixed assets (CAPEX). 5

 

 

N E T D E B T BRIDGE Net Debt for the 1 Q 24 ended at US $ 15 . 9 billion, an increase of US $ 569 million compared to 4 Q 23 , a number in line with the quarter's cash consumption, given the seasonality for this period of the year . The cash from operating activities was mainly offset by : (i) Capex in the amount of US $ 284 million ; (ii) payment of net interest in the amount of US $ 260 million ; and (iii) US $ 106 million from commercial leasing . CONSOLI D A T E D R E S U LTS JBS ended the quarter with R $ 17 . 3 billion in cash and US $ 3 . 3 billion available in revolving credit lines, without collateral, of which US $ 2 . 9 billion at JBS USA and US $ 450 million at JBS Brasil, equivalent to R $ 16 . 6 billion, at the closing exchange rate for the period . Thus, the Company's total availability is R $ 33 . 9 billion . INDEBTEDNESS At the end of quarter, net debt was US $ 15 . 9 billion (R $ 79 . 3 billion), a decrease of approximately US $ 539 million when compared to the end of 1 Q 23 .

In 1 Q 24 , Seara recorded a net revenue of R $ 10 . 3 billion, remaining stable in relation to the same period of the previous year, given that both prices and volumes also remained stable in the annual comparison . The significant increase of 10 percentage points in the EBITDA margin in 1 Q 24 in relation to 1 Q 23 is a consequence of the various actions implemented over the last year, which resulted in better operational indicators, in addition to lower grain costs, better balance of supply demand, and of the ramp up process of new plants . Sales in the domestic market, which accounted for half of the unit's revenue in 1 Q 24 , totaled R $ 5 . 2 billion, 0 . 5 % higher than 1 Q 23 , given increases in volumes by 3 . 5 % , and prices 2 . 9 % below in relation to 1 Q 23 . Despite being a seasonally weaker quarter in Brazil, the Company continued with its strategy of strengthening the Seara brand, obtaining good results in household penetration and repurchases . In the export market, net revenue in dollars reached US $ 1 billion, representing an increase of 4 % compared to 1 Q 23 , driven by a 7 % growth in average prices in dollars, as volumes were 3 % lower in the annual comparison . In the quarter, the price increase is the result of a better balance in supply and demand for chicken in the international market . As mentioned in the last earnings release, the results for 2023 were below expectations . With the problems identified, focus on people management as well as discipline in executing the action plan to capture opportunities, it was already possible to return to double - digit profitability in a seasonally weaker quarter - despite the results presented still being below potential . Therefore, the outlook for 2024 at Seara remains positive . S E A R A BU S INE S S UNITS 9

 

 

Note : On March 1 , 2020 , through a corporate restructuring process, Swift stores were transferred to the direct subsidiary Seara Alimentos . Although the Swift stores are part of the corporate structure of Seara Alimentos, for the purposes of analysis and presentation of results, the Company's Management decided to allocate Swift's results to the JBS Brasil operating segment . In 1 Q 24 , JBS Brasil recorded net revenue of R $ 14 . 2 billion (+ 17 % y/y), the increase is a consequence of higher volumes sold . In the domestic market, revenue in the in natura beef category grew 11 % y/y in 1 Q 24 , as a result of the higher volumes sold in the period . This growth is mainly attributed to the favorable cattle cycle, resulting in greater availability of animals for processing . During the period, the Company maintained its focus on commercial execution, increasing and improving the level of service with partners in the Friboi+ program, bringing the Friboi and Swift brands closer to consumers and improving the supply of products with greater added value . In the export market, in natura beef revenue grew by 60 % y/y in 1 Q 24 , as a result of strong volume growth in the period . In 1 Q 23 , the self - embargo on beef exports to China following the confirmation of an atypical case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) negatively impacted prices and volumes . Thus, the annual comparison ended up benefiting from the resumption of exports to the Chinese market . It is worth noting that in 1 Q 24 the Company obtained another 10 new licenses to export beef to China, totaling 18 plants . EBITDA totaled R $ 643 million, with an EBITDA margin of 4 . 5 % in 1 Q 24 . It is worth mentioning that the profitability of this business also benefited from a lower price of purchasing cattle . According to data published by CEPEA - ESALQ, the price of live cattle during the quarter was approximately R $ 240 /at ( - 16 % y/y) . J B S B R A S I L BU S INE S S UNITS 10

 

 

J B S B EE F N O RT H A M E R ICA BU S INE S S UNITS In IFRS and reais, net revenue in 1 Q 24 was R $ 27 . 6 billion, an increase of 1 % compared to 1 Q 23 , with a negative adjusted EBITDA of R $ 48 . 6 million and a negative EBITDA margin of 0 . 2 % . These results include the impact of the 5 % appreciation in the average exchange rate, which went from R $ 5 . 19 in 1 Q 23 to R $ 4 . 95 in 1 Q 24 . In US GAAP and US $ , net revenue was US $ 5 . 6 billion in 1 Q 24 , an increase of 6 % compared to 1 Q 23 and adjusted EBITDA was US $ 11 . 4 million, with a margin of 0 . 2 % . In the quarter, beef margins in North America continued to be pressured by the cattle cycle, especially in a seasonally weaker quarter . According to data released by the USDA, live cattle prices remained at high levels, growing 12 % y/y in 1 Q 24 . Therefore, as the price of cattle represents approximately 85 % of the cost of the product sold, and the growth in costs was higher than the growth in the cutout (+ 8 % y/y), profitability came under pressure in the period . In the 1 Q 24 , US beef export sales rose 6 % y/y, according to the USDA, due to price increases mainly to Asian countries . The top 3 US destinations continue to be South Korea, China and Japan . In the first quarter of last year, we faced several internal challenges, in addition to the turnaround in the cattle cycle in the USA, which negatively impacted the number of animals available for slaughter . Thus, throughout 2023 , several actions were taken to improve profitability, such as adjustments in the commercial department, implementation of projects aimed at operational improvement, optimization of the product mix, among other initiatives . All of these implemented actions will be fundamental to face a year that will continue to be challenging . ¹The difference in JBS Beef North America's EBITDA in IFRS and USGAAP, in addition to the exchange rate, is due to the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 as of 1Q19 and different inventory accounting criteria: in IFRS, inventories are accounted for at average cost, while in US GAAP they are Net Revenue 5,581.1 100.0% 6,272.9 100.0% - 11.0% Cost of Goods Sold (5,539.0) - 99% (6 ,369.6) 1 G ro s s P ro f i t 42 . 1 A d j u s t e d E B I T Adjusted ∆ % 1Q23 ∆ % 4Q23 1Q24 % NR US$ QoQ % NR US$ % NR US$ US G AAP ¹ - US$ M illi o n L T M marked to market.

J B S A U ST R A L IA BU S INE S S UNITS Considering the results in IFRS and Reais, net revenue for 1 Q 24 was R $ 7 . 2 billion ( - 1 % y/y) . Adjusted EBITDA was R $ 614 million for 1 Q 24 , with an EBITDA margin of 8 . 6 % . These results include the impact of the 5 % appreciation in the average exchange rate, which went from R $ 5 . 19 in 1 Q 23 to R $ 4 . 95 in 1 Q 24 . In USGAAP and US $ , net revenue was US $ 1 . 4 billion (+ 4 % y/y) for 1 Q 24 , with 11 % increase in volumes sold, but partially offset by lower average prices . Adjusted EBITDA was US $ 132 . 2 million for 1 Q 24 , with an EBITDA margin of 9 . 1 % . Sales in the beef business grew 18 % compared to 1 Q 23 , due to the growth in volumes in both the domestic and export markets . The improvement in EBITDA margin is a reflection of lower cattle prices, given the greater availability of animals due to the more favorable cycle . According to MLA (Meat & Livestock Australia), the price of cattle in Australia fell 22 % y/y in 1 Q 24 . In 1 Q 24 , the aquaculture business recorded a decrease in net revenue due to lower volumes sold, as the warmer summer and water temperatures impacted the volumes harvested . Net revenue from the pork business remained stable compared to the same period last year . However, the improvement in profitability is the result of gains in operational efficiency . Primo, the prepared foods unit, recorded an increase in average prices in the quarter, offset by lower volumes sold, but recorded an increase in EBITDA margin compared to the same period last year, despite continued inflationary pressures . ¹The difference in JBS Australia's EBITDA in IFRS and USGAAP, in addition to the exchange rate, is due to the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 from 1Q19 and different accounting criteria for biological assets, in IFRS they are marked to market, while in USGAAP they are at average cost. Volume and price calculations do not consider the impact of acquisitions. 12

Adjusted EBITDA totaled US $ 155 . 6 million in 1 Q 24 , with a margin of 8 . 1 % . The main difference this quarter between EBITDA in USGAAP and IFRS was due to the impact of accounting biological assets at market value in IFRS and average cost in USGAAP . In the domestic market, 1 Q 24 was marked by growth in average wholesale prices (cutout), a reflection of greater demand resulting from the shift in consumption from beef to pork due to the increase in the price of beef in the United States . In the international market, USDA data for the year indicates an increase in pork exports by 11 % , especially to Mexico, South Korea and Colombia . In addition to the improvement in commercial dynamics, profitability in the quarter was positively impacted by : (i) lower average grain costs in 1 Q 24 ( - 34 % y/y) ; (ii) reduction in the average lean hog price in 1 Q 24 ( - 14 % y/y) ; and (iii) continuous efforts aimed at expanding the value - added portfolio, in addition to improving commercial, operational and logistical execution . i mp a ct of a c q ui si t i o n s . 13

 

 

P I L GRI M’S P R I D E C O R P O R A TIO N BU S INE S S UNITS ¹The difference in EBITDA between PPC's IFRS and USGAAP results, in addition to the exchange rate, is due to the impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 as of 1 Q 19 and different criteria for accounting for the amortization of parent birds : in IFRS, the amortization of the asset biological, due to its longer term nature, is considered an expense subject to adjustment in EBITDA, while in USGAAP the amortization of biological assets is recorded in Considering the results in IFRS and Reais, PPC presented net revenue of R $ 21 . 6 billion in 1 Q 24 , stable compared to the same period of the previous year, and adjusted EBITDA of R $ 2 . 5 billion, with an EBITDA margin of 11 . 5 % . These results include the impact of the 5 % appreciation in the average exchange rate, which went from R $ 5 . 19 in 1 Q 23 to R $ 4 . 95 in 1 Q 24 . In US GAAP and US $ , PPC's net revenue in 1 Q 24 was US $ 4 . 4 billion, 5 % higher than 1 Q 23 , and adjusted EBITDA was US $ 371 . 9 million with a margin of 8 . 5 % . The first quarter was benefitted by the strategy already implemented, allowing the Company to grow ahead of the market together with key customers . Similarly, the portfolio of branded products continued to expand and contribute to the diversification of the portfolio . These efforts, combined with the intense focus on operational excellence, resulted in increased profitability in the period . In the United States, in 1 Q 24 , profitability continued to improve, mainly due to greater operational efficiencies in chicken cuts used as raw material (Big Bird), the improvement in industry fundamentals and the continuous increase in partnerships with key customers . Furthermore, the prepared products category has also evolved, with significant growth in both the retail and food service channels, further expanding the offer of branded value - added products . During the quarter, the improvement in results in Mexico is explained by the balance of supply demand in in natura products, an increase in partnerships with key customers and a greater offer of branded products . In Europe, still facing a challenging macroeconomic scenario, the good results are a consequence of the optimization of assets in the region, from industrial facilities to support activities . Furthermore, all efforts to increase partnerships with key customers, increasing portfolio diversification through branded products and operational excellence also contribute to solidifying results in the region .

D I SC L A I MER We make statements about future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties . Such statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our Management and information to which the Company currently has access . Statements about future events include information about our current intentions, beliefs or expectations, as well as those of the members of the Company's Board of Directors and Officers . Disclaimers with respect to forward - looking statements and information also include information on possible or presumed operating results, as well as statements that are preceded, followed or that include the words "believe,“ "may," "will," "continue," “expects,“ "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or similar expressions . Forward - looking statements and information are not guarantees of performance . They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions because they refer to future events, depending, therefore, on circumstances that may or may not occur . Future results and shareholder value creation may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward - looking statements . Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict . 21
