ADJ Profit and loss figures

Revenues for the first nine months of 2021 were approximately €143.4 million with an increase of 17% compared to €122.6 million in the first nine months of 2020. Revenues generated by the newly acquired Pharmatek amounted to €8.8 million, consequently the Group's growth is mostly organic and attributable to the excellent performance of the parent company Fine Foods (turnover +10% compared to the previous period).

EBITDA* amounted to €18.8 million and recorded an increase of €2.5 million compared to the previous period, keeping its percentage on revenues substantially consistent (from 13.3% to 13.1%).

Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A.

EBIT* amounted to approximately €9.2 million, with an increase compared to the first nine months of 2020, when it was €7.8 million; the EBIT margin was in line with 30 September 2020 - 6.4%.

Income before taxes** reached €11.4 million as of 30 September 2021 compared to €7.9 million in the previous period and Net Profit** reached €10.5 million compared to €5.2 million as of 30 September 2020.

Shareholders' equity 153,427 141,008
Net Financial Position (10,644) (42,760)

Balance Sheet Data

Fixed assets increased by approximately €15.5 million compared to 31 December 2020; this increase is mainly attributable to the goodwill generated by the acquisition of Pharmatek (€12.6 million) which was recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The increase was also due to the rights of use and other intangible assets contributed by the newly acquired company (€3.8 million as of 30 September 2021).

Net Trade Working Capital as of 30 September 2021 was €30.2 million compared to €9.6 million at the end of the previous year. This is mainly due to higher trade receivables, which are structurally higher in the interim reports (increase of €12.7 million, of which €3.3 million contributed by Pharmatek) and higher Inventories for raw materials procurement (increase of €8.3 million, of which €1.4 million contributed by the Pharmatek subsidiary). Trade payables recorded an increase, which partially offset the growth in the above-mentioned assets (increase of €0.3).

Other Receivables and Payables showed a positive balance of approximately €3.1 million as of 30 September 2021 compared to the negative balance at the end of the previous year (negative balance of €5.6 million). This was mainly due to an increase in Other non-financial assets, including the VAT Receivable and a reduction in Other financial liabilities, including the IRES liability, which was unallocated by the Parent Company as of 30 September 2021 due to a negative pre-tax result.

Shareholders' equity confirmed the company solidity with an increase of approximately €12.4 million compared to the previous year-end despite the purchase of treasury shares for €6.2 million and the

Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A.

distribution of dividends of €3.2 million. The increase in Equity is mainly generated by the conversion of listed and unlisted warrants.

The Net Financial Position stood at a positive value (net cash) of approximately €10.6 million, down from the previous year mainly due to the acquisition of Pharmatek, which had an impact of €17.2 million on the Group's NFP.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE PERIOD-END

On 08 October 2021 Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. acquired a controlling stake in Euro Cosmestic S.p.A., taking over approximately 72.9% of the share capital, worth €26,815,961. The Company obtained a credit line from Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. for short-term financing, valid until 31 March 2022, for €27 million. In the coming months, the above credit line will be converted into a structured medium-term loan. Euro Cosmetic shares are listed on Euronext Growth Milan, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. As a result, the Fine Foods' obligation to launch a takeover bid for the remaining 1,286,800 shares of Euro Cosmetic was met. The bid consideration will be €8.6 per ordinary share.

On 11 November 2021 Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. acquired a plot of land located in the municipalities of Brembate (BG) and Filago (BG) with a registered surface area of approximately 100,000 sqm for approximately €3 million.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Fine Foods' revenues as of 30 September 2021 were up compared to the corresponding period in 2020 at Group level and on a like-for-like basis. In spite of the difficulties caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus outbreak and the consequent social and health situation, and the worldwide problems linked to the procurement of raw materials and the sharp increases in energy costs - the effects of which will impact the last months of 2021 and the 2022 financial year -, the Board of Directors believes that, for the 2021 financial year and future financial years, revenue growth, at Group level, can remain in line with the historical trend and accompanied by a progressive improvement in expected margins.
