“expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “targets,” “will” and the negative thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. It is important to note that actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements include: matters affecting the poultry industry generally; the
ability to execute the Company’s business plan to achieve desired cost savings and profitability; future pricing for feed ingredients and the Company’s products;
outbreaks of avian influenza or other diseases, either in Pilgrim’s Pride’s flocks or elsewhere, affecting its ability to conduct its operations and/or demand for its
poultry products; contamination of Pilgrim’s Pride’s products, which has previously and can in the future lead to product liability claims and product recalls;
exposure to risks related to product liability, product recalls, property damage and injuries to persons, for which insurance coverage is expensive, limited and
potentially inadequate; management of cash resources; restrictions imposed by, and as a result of, Pilgrim’s Pride’s leverage; changes in laws or regulations
affecting Pilgrim’s Pride’s operations or the application thereof; new immigration legislation or increased enforcement efforts in connection with existing
immigration legislation that cause the costs of doing business to increase, cause Pilgrim’s Pride to change the way in which it does business, or otherwise disrupt
its operations; competitive factors and pricing pressures or the loss of one or more of Pilgrim’s Pride’s largest customers; currency exchange rate fluctuations,
trade barriers, exchange controls, expropriation and other risks associated with foreign operations; disruptions in international markets and distribution channels,
including, but not limited to, the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict; the risk of cyber-attacks, natural disasters, power losses, unauthorized access,
telecommunication failures, and other problems on our information systems; and the impact of uncertainties of litigation and other legal matters described in our
most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, including the In re Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation, as well as other risks described under “Risk Factors” in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-
looking statements in this release speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any such statement after the date of this
release, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.
◼ Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements as a result of these factors, among others, many of which are
beyond our control. In making these statements, we are not undertaking, and specifically decline to undertake, any obligation to address or update each or any
factor in future filings or communications regarding our business or results, and we are not undertaking to address how any of these factors may have caused
changes to information contained in previous filings or communications. Although we have attempted to list comprehensively these important cautionary risk
factors, we must caution investors and others that other factors may in the future prove to be important and affecting our business or results of operations.
◼ This presentation may include information that may be considered non-GAAP financial information as contemplated by SEC Regulation G, Rule 100, including
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, LTM EBITDA, Net Debt, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and others. Accordingly, we have provided tables in the
accompanying appendix and in our previous filings with the SEC that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP-based measures and explain why
these measures are useful to investors, which can be obtained from the Consolidated Statements of Income provided with our previous filings with the SEC. Our

▪ US remains on path to rebuild 23/24 corn ending stocks above the psychologically important 2.0B bushel
level.
▪ Weather has continued to support record combined corn production in S. American origins, building 23/24
global corn stocks and creating export competition for the US into the 24/25 crop year
▪ USDA prospective plantings survey shows lower corn plantings this year, raising sensitivity to US growing
season weather

Soybean Dynamics

▪ US 23/24 ending stocks continue to build with weak export demand, forecast up 28% vs 22/23 crop year
▪ S. American combined soybean production hits new record high as growth in Argentina offsets small decline
in Brazil vs prior year
▪ USDA prospective plantings survey shows higher soy plantings this year, creating potential for another large
increase in soy stocks. Large bean stocks combined with increased US soy processing capacity will keep
pressure on soybean meal prices

APPENDIX
Appendix: Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain items of expense and deducting
from EBITDA certain items of income that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance consisting of: (1) foreign currency transaction losses (gains), (2) transaction costs related to
business acquisitions, (3) costs related to litigation settlements, (4) restructuring activities losses, (5) property insurance recoveries, and (6) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. EBITDA is
presented because it is used by management and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), to compare the performance of companies. We believe investors would be interested in our Adjusted EBITDA because this is how
our management analyzes EBITDA applicable to continuing operations. The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on EBITDA and facilitates a more direct comparison of its performance with its
competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently limiting their
usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or
any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations should be compensated for by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA only on a supplemental basis.

EBITDA margins have been calculated by taking the relevant unaudited EBITDA figures, then dividing by net sales for the applicable period. EBITDA margins are presented because they are used by
management and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, as a supplement to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to compare the
performance of companies.

Appendix: Reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income
Adjusted Operating Income is calculated by adding to Operating Income certain items of expense and deducting from Operating Income certain items of income. Management believes that presentation of
Adjusted Operating Income provides useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enables comparison of our performance between periods because certain costs shown below are
not indicative of our current operating performance. A reconciliation of GAAP operating income to adjusted operating income as follows:

Margin to Adjusted Operating Income Margin
Adjusted Operating Income Margin for each of our reportable segments is calculated by dividing Adjusted operating income by Net Sales. Management believes that presentation of Adjusted Operating
Income Margin provides useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enables comparison of our performance between periods because certain costs shown below are not
indicative of our current operating performance. A reconciliation of GAAP operating income margin for each of our reportable segments to adjusted operating income margin for each of our reportable

Appendix: Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (“Pilgrim's”) is calculated by adding to Net income attributable to Pilgrim's certain items of expense and deducting from Net income
attributable to Pilgrim's certain items of income, as shown below in the table. Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is presented because it is used by
management, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, to compare
the performance of companies. Management also believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides
investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of such charges on net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to
Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as
a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes that presentation of adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s provides useful supplemental information
about our operating performance and enables comparison of our performance between periods because certain costs shown below are not indicative of our current operating performance. A reconciliation
of net income (loss) attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share to adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is as follows:
