The forward-looking statements in this interim report reflect Hartmann's current expectations for future events and financial results. Such statements are inherently subject to uncertainty, and actual results may therefore differ from expectations. Factors which may cause the actual results to deviate from expectations include general economic developments and developments in the financial markets, changes or amendments to legislation and regulation in Hartmann's markets, changes in demand for products, competition and the prices and supply of raw materials. See the sections on market fluctuations and risk management in this interim report and note 28 of the 2021 annual report.

kort fortalt
Hartmann demonstrated resilience in Q2 2022 lifting revenue and maintaining market share with decent earnings and profitability despite significant input price increases and challenging external conditions. The effects of continued pricing actions mitigated the severe negative impact of increasing and historically high energy and recycled paper prices combined with rising inflation. The 2022 guidance is maintained.
DKK 639 million in Q2 2021
Revenue continued to grow driven by successful efforts to increase average selling prices across Hartmann's markets to offset cost inflation.
The progress was supported by strong sales volume growth in North America largely outweighing a slight decline in the group's other markets as demand for egg packaging remained subdued.
Hartmann protected earnings and profitability by countering cost inflation and increasing energy and recycled paper prices through continued measures to increase selling prices and reduce costs in Q2 2022.
While earnings and profitability improved in the Americas segment, the Eurasia segment saw a decline due to a more severe impact by cost inflation as well as lower machinery sales compared to the relatively high level in Q2 2021.
Our teams navigated through another quarter marked by challenging external conditions mainatining market share and securing decent profitability in Q2 2022. Based on the solid performance in the first half of the year and our resilience to headwinds, we are maintaining our 2022 guidance while remaining very aware that a reduction of the gas supply in Europe may change the situation in an instant.
11.3% in Q2 2021

DKK 137 million in Q2 2021
Hartmann maintained a reduced investment level in Q2 2022 following a period of higher investments.
A sales process for the Russian factory was initiated and progressed in Q2 2022 focusing on complex legal and practical clarifications.

Due to the ongoing sales process for Hartmann's Russian factory, the group's Russian activities have been reclassified as discontinuing operations, cf. note 6. Actual and comparative figures have therefore been restated to present continuing operations, unless it is explicitly stated that discontinuing operations are included.

eurasia


DKK 78 million in Q2 2021
Hartmann maintained focus on countering the surging energy and recycled paper prices as well as general inflationary pressure in the Eurasia segment in Q2 2022. The negative external effects were partly mitigated by continued and successful pricing actions and cost containment measures.
In early May, a fire erupted at Hartmann's factory in India, and the plant will run at reduced capacity until impacted equipment and installations have been reestablished, expectedly in the second half of 2023.
Segment revenue grew to DKK 448 million (2021: DKK 399 million) in Q2 2022 following successful efforts to increase average selling prices in response to significantly higher raw material costs. The progress was realised despite slightly lower sales volume impacted by the absence of export sales to Ukraine and Russian as well as
lower machinery sales compared to a relatively high level in Q2 2021. Demand remained slow and at a lower level than during COVID-19.
H1 2022 revenue fell to DKK 891 million (2021: DKK 913 million) from a high level as H1 2021 was significantly impacted by licence income of DKK 78 million from settlement of an intellectual property rights case and higher machinery sales.
Q2 2022 operating profit dropped to DKK 36 million (2021: DKK 64 million), for a profit margin of 8.0% (2021: 16.1%). Higher average selling prices alleviated the impact of continued high prices of energy and recycled paper, general inflation and a lower contribution from machinery sales compared to Q2 2021.
Operating profit for H1 2022 declined to DKK 59 million (2021: DKK 235 million) corresponding to a profit margin of 6.7% (2021: 25.8%). The comparison period was positively impacted by licence income of DKK 78 million.
Hartmann invested DKK 19 million (2021: DKK 78 million) in Eurasia in Q2 2022. In H1 2022, the investment level declined to DKK 28 million (2021: DKK 258 million) from a high level impacted by the DKK 113 million investment in the Russian factory in Q1 2021.
Efforts to divest the Russian factory were initiated and progressed in Q2 2022 focusing on legal and practical clarifications. The Russian business has been reclassified as discontinuing operations, and Hartmann has recognised an impairment loss of DKK 81 million, cf. note 6. The complex sales process is not expected to be completed in 2022.

HARTMANN 7 H1 2022
The group's American activities generated strong growth and improved earnings and profitability in Q2 2022. The positive development was driven by higher average selling prices overall and volume growth in North America, partly offsetting the negative impact of higher energy, recycled paper and distribution costs as well as mounting inflation.
The Americas segment grew revenue by 44% to DKK 346 million (2021: DKK 240 million) in Q2 2022 on the back of higher selling prices and solid sales volume growth in North America with a positive impact of new customers converting from plastic-based packaging to Hartmann products.
The South American business also contributed positively to revenue growth despite adverse effects of continued fierce competition and lower sales volume in Brazil.
In H1 2022, revenue grew to DKK 655 million (2021: DKK 464 million).
The strong revenue growth had a positive impact on operating profit, which increased to DKK 26 million in (2021: DKK 12 million) Q2 2022, corresponding to a profit margin of 7.6% (2021: 5.1%). The improvement was realised despite the significant increase in raw material prices and distribution costs, general inflationary pressure
and continued macroeconomic challenges and tough market conditions in South America.
Operating profit for H1 2022 increased to DKK 52 million (2021: DKK 28 million), for a profit margin of 8.0% (2021: 6.0%).
Hartmann invested DKK 24 million (2021: DKK 59 million) in the Americas in Q2 2022 and DKK 47 million (2021: DKK 65 million) in H1 2022.





forventninger
Based on the development in the first half of the year and the effect of pricing actions, Hartmann maintains expectations of growing reported revenue to DKK 2.9-3.3 billion and generating a profit margin* of 2-7%. Guidance is maintained despite the reclassification of the group's Russian activities as discontinued operations and under the assumption that the supply of natural gas to all factories is sustained throughout the year. While earnings and profit margin are expected to be negatively impacted by continued high prices of recycled paper and energy as well as rising inflation, Hartmann will continue to alleviate these effects through efforts to adjust selling prices, improve the overall price and product mix, and reduce the cost level. Price adjustments will, however, continue to be implemented at a certain time lag. The historically high volatility of energy and recycled paper prices continues to cause significantly reduced visibility and increased uncertainty about developments in the group's cost levels. Investments** are still expected at around DKK 225 million in 2022. In addition to these ordinary investments, Hartmann will re-establish operations at the group's Indian factory following the fire in Q2 entailing investments expected to be compensated by insurance coverage.
Guidance is based on the exchange rates prevailing at the date of release of the interim report and the assumption that the supply

| Profit margin* | 2-7% |

of natural gas to all factories is sustained throughout the year. Due to seasonal fluctuations in Hartmann's packaging sales, revenue and operating profit in the core business are generally higher in Q1 and Q4 than in Q2 and Q3.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, steep increases in the prices of raw materials, macroeconomic uncertainty in the South American markets, COVID-19 and volatile demand for eggs will continue to impact the egg packaging market and Hartmann's financial performance in 2022.
Geopolitical tension has increased in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and given rise to extremely volatile and high energy prices as well as accelerating inflationary pressure, currency fluctuations and an upwards trend in interest rates. Hartmann sees escalating risk of energy shortage and rationing, which could severely impact the operational capabilities of the group's factories in Croatia, Denmark and Hungary, and financial performance.
The macroeconomic uncertainty in Hartmann's South American markets may accelerate in connection with elections in Argentina and Brazil and could result in deteriorating market conditions due to currency devaluation, deepening recession or social unrest.
COVID-19 continues to cause limited visibility and a heightened operational risk exposure. The risk of temporary production disruptions at one or more of Hartmann's factories remains at a higher-than-normal level, and supply chain interruption due to lockdown measures in China entails shortage of components in Hartmann Technology and a negative impact on machinery and technology deliveries.



risikoforhold
| Description | Mitigating action | |
|---|---|---|
| Fire | The production of egg and fruit packaging is based on paper-based mould ed fibre dried at high temperatures, and Hartmann's single most significant risk is the total loss of a factory from fire. Re-establishing the facilities would be very time consuming and involve the risk of both business interruption and loss of market share as the reliability of supply is crucial to Hartmann's customers. |
Hartmann continuously monitors and reviews fire conditions at its factories and invests in physical separation of equipment, high-efficiency sprinkler and alarm systems, adequate water supply and other fire protection equipment as well as in the training and education of local fire brigades among our employees. The internal steering committee conducts regular factory visits and organises visits by external experts. In addition, Hartmann has taken out an all risk insurance policy for all produc tion facilities covering fire damage, consequential loss and other incidents. In addition to strengthening the group's supply capacity, the spreading of production across 15 factories also helps to reduce the total financial impact in case of a factory fire. |
| Raw materials | Fluctuations in procurement prices of recycled paper and energy (elec tricity and gas) may have a significant impact on the group's financial results as adjustments of selling prices with a view to mitigating increases in raw materials prices must take into account the competitive situation and will be implemented at a certain time lag. |
Hartmann seeks to make up increases in purchase prices by adjusting selling prices. In addition, Hartmann works actively to enhance the efficiency of production at individual factories and optimise distribution to the group's customers in an effort to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the prices of recycled paper and energy. These measures include efforts to reduce the volume of energy consumed during the manufacturing process, reduce waste in production and optimise allocation between the group's factories, taking into account customer demand and locations. |
| Inadequate supplies of raw materials for Hartmann's production may cause business interruption, impede satisfactory deliveries to customers and force the group to purchase raw materials on less attractive terms. |
Hartmann has contracted with several suppliers of recycled paper, energy and other raw materials with a view to mitigating the risk of non-delivery. Recycled paper systems and supply vary considerably across the group's markets, and long-term fixed-price agreements for recycled paper are generally not obtainable. Hartmann has the option of signing fixed-price agreements, typically for six or 12 months, for part of the group's energy consumption with energy suppliers in areas with well-functioning markets. The group regularly analyses whether entering into such agreements is attractive and explores possibilities for using alternative types of raw materials. |
|
| Disease outbreaks among hens |
Egg packaging sales are exposed to changes in demand for eggs, which in turn may be influenced by disease outbreaks among laying hens and con sumer fears of resulting health hazards. Moreover, the outbreak of diseases such as bird flu will typically entail fluctuations in the population of laying hens and volatility in egg supply and prices. |
The geographical scope of Hartmann's production with factories located in Europe, North and South America, India and Russia helps to mitigate the total negative impact of local or regional disease outbreaks on the group's financial performance. At the same time, thanks to its versatile product portfolio and adaptability, Hartmann is able to vary its product offering according to shifts in demand patterns occurring during and in the wake of such disease outbreaks. |
| Politics and macroeconomics |
While the consumption of eggs and fruit has historically been resilient to slowdowns in economic growth, political and macroeconomic uncertainties may cause significant shifts in Hartmann's sales across product categories. Moreover, trade barriers and significant currency fluctuations may affect the competitive strength of some factories and the group's financial results. |
Hartmann monitors its markets carefully in order to be able to respond quickly to negative trends by, for instance, changing the allocation of the group's production between factories and adjusting the product offering in the markets concerned. Any negative trade barrier impacts are mitigated by Hartmann's geographical diversification and sales to local markets. |
| Environment | Violations of environmental legislation, rules or thresholds in connection with, for instance, wastewater discharge, CO2 emissions, waste disposal or inadvertent chemical spills may lead to business interruption, fines or other sanctions and harm Hartmann's reputation and internal and external stakeholder relationships. |
Hartmann monitors environmental risks at local and central level with a view to preventing, mitigating or minimising the group's environmental footprint. To that end, Hartmann continually invests in new production technology, optimisation of existing equipment and processes and systematic waste reduction. With a view to ensuring a structured and efficient ap proach to environmentally sound and energy-efficient production, a number of Hartmann's production facilities are certified to the ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 50001 (energy management) standards. |

balance
Hartmann's net interest-bearing debt increased to DKK 991 million (2021: DKK 739 million) at 30 June 2022. The consolidated balance sheet remains sound, as the increase in net interest-bearing debt was attributable to the continued production capacity investments throughout 2021 in particular.
Financial resources, comprising cash and undrawn loan and overdraft facilities, amounted to DKK 382 million at 30 June 2022 (2021: DKK 535 million). This level is considered satisfactory and sufficient to cover Hartmann's planned investments. The loans are subject to standard financial covenants.
Total assets increased to DKK 2,988 million (2021: DKK 2,731 million) following investments in production capacity.
In H1 2022, the return on invested capital was 3.4% (2021: 26.0%) following the decline in earnings in the quarter and the increase in invested capital.
Equity at 30 June 2022 stood at DKK 1,301 million (2021: DKK 1,262 million), for an equity ratio of 46% (2021: 49%). The financial gearing ratio increased to 76% (2021: 58%).
Earnings per share were DKK 3.1 (2021: DKK 7.9) for Q2 2022 and DKK 6.7 (2021: DKK 26.3) for H1 2022. ROIC

noter
The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies. Interim financial statements have not been prepared for the parent company. The interim financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is the presentation currency used for the group's operations and the functional currency of the parent company.
The interim financial statements contain selected accounting policies and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for 2021. The accounting policies applied in the interim financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies applied in the consolidated financial statements for 2021 as described in note 1. In addition Hartmann has implemented IFRS 5 as described below.
Discontinuing operations represent a separate major geographic area. The results of discontinuing operations are presented separately in the income statement and comparative figures are restated. Assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale from discontinuing operations are presented as separate items in the balance sheet. Cash flows from discontinuing operations are presented separately in the cash flow statement and comparative figures are restated.
Assets and liabilities from discontinuing operations except for financial assets, etc., are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets held for sales are not depreciated.
Hartmann has implemented all new and revised financial reporting standards and interpretations adopted by the EU that are effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2022. The implementation of these changes has not resulted in any changes to the accounting policies.
In applying the group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions concerning the carrying amount of assets and liabilities which cannot be immediately inferred from other sources.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions made are based on historical experience and other relevant factors which management considers reasonable under the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are assessed on an ongoing basis. Changes to accounting estimates are recognised in the reference period in which the change occurs and in future reference periods if the change affects both the period in which the change occurs and subsequent reference periods.
Reference is made to note 3 to the financial statements in the annual report for 2021 for a full description of significant accounting estimates, assumptions and uncertainties
The Russian invasion of Ukraine further augmented the heightened volatility in the global supply chains, which impacted the first half of 2022 after having prevailed since the end of the financial year 2021. Continued increases in energy prices contributed to rising inflation, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as well as subdued demand continue to impact Hartmann's financial performance and key estimates.
The decision to sell the Russian entity was made on 1 April 2022, and the sales process has subsequently been initiated. On the balance sheet date, the Russian entity is treated and measured as discontinuing operations. Hartmann will continue to operate the facilities and fulfil obligations within the limits of imposed sanctions and restrictions until a sale is made.
Management has assessed the potential impact from the resulting uncertainties on the estimated values for the liabilities and assets in the group's Russian entity as well as other potentially affected assets and liabilities.
An impairment of DKK 81 million is made in relation to the Russian entity when reclassified to assets held for sale valued at fair value less costs to sell.
Other than the above-mentioned impairment the change in estimates had no material impact on the financial statements in the half of 2022. By the nature, the updated key accounting estimates contain uncertainties, and it is possible that the outcomes in the next financial period can differ from those on which management's estimates are based.
Due to seasonal fluctuations in Hartmann's packaging sales, core business revenue and operating profit are generally higher in Q1 and Q4.
In autumn 2019, the Brazilian tax authorities raised a claim of BRL 56 million, corresponding to DKK 77 million, against Hartmann's Brazilian subsidiary, Sanovo Greenpack Embalagens Do Brasil Ltda., concerning the alleged non-payment of industrial products tax (IPI) on sales of the company's products in 2015 and 2016. Based on judicial practice and statements from its legal and tax advisers, Hartmann is of the opinion that the company's products are not liable to IPI tax and accordingly considers the claim to be unjustified. Hartmann therefore disputes the claim. Hartmann does not expect the claim to materially affect the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If, contrary to expectations, the claim is upheld, similar claims are expected to be raised for the period after 2016. There was no development in the case in Q2 2022.

Segment income and expenses as well as segment assets and liabilities comprise those items that in the internal management reporting are directly attributed to each individual segment and those items that are indirectly allocated to the individual segment on a reliable basis. Profits in associates, financial income and expenses, income taxes, investments in associates, tax assets and tax liabilities and cash and bank debt are not allocated to reporting segments.
The reporting segments are:
External revenue is allocated to geographical areas on the basis of the customer's geographical location. The allocation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is based on the geographical location and use of the assets.
No single customer represents more than 10% of external revenue. Revenue from external customers attributable to a single foreign country is immaterial.

On 1 April 2022, Hartmann announced that a sales process for Hartmann's Russian factory was initiated. The process progressed in Q2 focusing on legal and practical clarifications. The decision to initiate a sales process has been made with a view to leave Russia where the current political and economic climate prevents the realisation of Hartmann's business plan in the country.
On 30 June 2022, JSC Hartmann-Rus was reclassified as a disposal group held for sale and discontinuing operations as the operation in Russia, which represents a separate geographical area of operations and is part of a single plan for disposal, fulfils the criteria ref. IFRS 5 as of that date.
The Russian business unit was included in the Eurasia segment, but being classified as discontinuing operations, the Russian entity is no longer represented in the segment note.
Immediately before the classification of JSC Hartmann-Rus as discontinuing operations, the recoverable amount was estimated for the operating net assets, and no impairment loss was identified based on a value in use calculation. Following the classification as asset held for sale and discontinued operation, an impairment of DKK 81 million was recognised on 30 June 2022 to reduce the carrying amount of the assets in the disposal group to their fair value less costs to sell. This was recognised as discontinuing operations in the statement of comprehensive income.
Hartmann will continue to operate the facilities and fulfil obligations within the limits of imposed sanctions and restrictions until the entity is sold.
The fair value is estimated as a weighted average of various valuation methods including DCF and transaction multiples.
Including the impairment of DKK 81 million, profit and loss from JSC Hartmann-Rus is specified below:
| Profit and loss | Q2 2022 | Q2 2021 | H1 2022 | H1 2021 |

hyperinflation

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 1,538 | 16 | (8) | 8 | 1,546 |

* Restatement for hyperinflation is made based on Argentina's Wholesale Price Index up to 31 December 2016 and on the National Consumer Price Index from 1 January 2017.

The total effect on Q2 2022 revenue of restating for hyperinflation under IAS 29 is a combination of restating for price index developments and the effect of using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for purposes of translating from the Argentine peso into Danish kroner.
The price index rose by 36% during the first six months of the year, boosting revenue by DKK 16 million. The increase offset a decline in the ARS/DKK cross rate from 0.06385 at the beginning of the year to 0.05720 at 30 June 2022 reducing revenue by DKK 8 million as a result of the practice of using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for currency translation purposes.
Revenue was DKK 1,546 million after a net positive impact of restating for hyperinflation of DKK 8 million.
