AgroFresh Solutions Clarifies Anticipated Full Year 2015 Results

Company Issues Updated Full Year 2015 Guidance

Expects Full Year Adjusted EBITDA in the Range of $87 Million to $93 Million

Announces $10 Million Share Repurchase Program

Philadelphia, PA, November 18, 2015 — AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGFS, AGFSW) (“AgroFresh” or the “Company”), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, announced today clarification of comments made on the Company’s third quarter earnings conference call held on November 16, 2015 regarding its anticipated financial results for the full year 2015, and also announced a $10 million share repurchase program.

Based on the Company’s strong year-to-date financial results and current expectations for the remainder of the year, AgroFresh expects to achieve full year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $87 million to $93 million.

The Board of Directors of AgroFresh has also authorized a share repurchase program of up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock. Shares will be repurchased at the Company’s discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common stock, and general market conditions. The repurchase program is anticipated to remain in effect for a period of one year, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Thomas Macphee, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As I shared on our third quarter earnings conference call, our core business is performing very well. With regard to the full year 2015, we expect to outperform the market as our very good organic growth from SmartFresh™ penetration of apples and other crops continues to offset much of the market’s overall expected decline from the record high of last year, which is being driven by adverse weather conditions in the northern hemisphere. Harvista™ will be relatively flat compared to last year’s results due to adverse weather in Turkey and lower customer use relative to last year’s record apple crop in Washington State. Based on these assumptions, we expect to achieve full year Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $87 million to $93 million and we expect to communicate to investors as more information becomes available.”

Mr. Macphee added, “We see strong momentum with SmartFresh™, are particularly pleased with the increased penetration that we are achieving in apples and other crops, and expect this growth to continue going forward. Customer feedback on Harvista™ has been very positive, its efficacy is now widely accepted, and I remain confident that we will continue to see strong, profitable growth for Harvista, which we expect will generate annual sales in the range of $50 million within the next five years. RipeLock™ is in early commercial trials and channel interest in this game-changing technology for bananas is very encouraging. We believe that the sales potential for RipeLock™ could be $25 million or more in five years. Overall, we believe that AgroFresh has strong organic growth potential to approximately double sales within the next five years. Reflecting our confidence in our growth strategy and expectations, as well as our commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value, we are also announcing a share repurchase program.”
