Financial Review

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Frigoglass made a solid start to the year, with sales growing 19.8% to €105.7 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018. This increase primarily reflects higher year‐on‐ year commercial refrigeration (ICM) sales in Europe and solid demand for glass and plastic crates in Nigeria.

Commercial refrigeration net sales revenue increased by 15.8% for the three months ended 31 March 2018, driven by ICM investments from Coca‐Cola bottlers in Europe and Africa. In Eastern Europe, net sales revenue increased 27.1% year‐on‐year. This solid performance was supported by incremental ICM placements from the Coca‐Cola bottler in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary mainly as a result of its promotional plans and innovations. Sales growth momentum continued in Western Europe, driven by orders from the Coca‐Cola bottler in Italy and Greece, more than offsetting soft demand in Germany, Belgium and France. This is the ninth consecutive quarter of positive growth in Western Europe, with net sales revenue growing 9.4% year‐on‐year.

In Africa and Middle East, net sales revenue increased by 90.8% year‐on‐year. This strong performance was driven by increased customer ICM investments in Nigeria that mainly reflect orders being transferred from the previous quarter, as well as, increased demand in North Africa. Net sales revenue in Asia declined by 44.3% year‐on‐year, mainly led by lower demand in India following the phasing of orders by a key customer and intense competition.

Glass business reported a strong performance for the three months ended 31 March 2018, with net sales revenue increasing by 35.1% year‐on‐year due to solid glass container volume growth and increased demand for our complementary plastic crates offering, as well as, targeted pricing initiatives. This was tempered by lower net sales revenue in metal crown business and the impact from the devaluation of Nigeria's Naira. In local currency terms, net sales revenue in our Nigerian operations increased approximately by 56% year‐ on‐year. Sustained demand in our core Nigerian market resulted in a 25.3% year‐on‐year net sales revenue growth in glass bottles' operations. This performance primarily reflects the currently upbeat beer market environment triggered by new product launches and the startup of a new brewery in the second quarter of the year. Significantly higher year‐ on‐year demand from key soft drinks and brewery customers for our plastic crates business was well‐supported by glass related volume growth. Metal crowns' net sales revenue declined by 30.2% for the three months ended 31 March 2018 mainly due to phasing of orders, compared to last year.

Cost of goods sold increased by 16.5% to €86.6 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, as a result of higher year‐on‐year volume growth. Cost of goods sold was assisted by ICM plants productivity related savings and the positive impact from the devaluation of Nigeria's Naira. Overall, cost of goods sold as a percentage of the Group's net sales revenue improved to 82.0% for the three months ended 31 March 2018, from 84.3% for the three months ended 31 March 2017, reflecting the favorable geographical mix and better fixed cost absorption in ICM business due to higher sales.

Administrative expenses increased by 6.8% to €5.5 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, mainly due to increased third‐party fees and IT expenses. The ratio of administrative expenses to net sales revenue improved to 5.2% in the three months ended 31 March 2018, from 5.9% in the three months ended 31 March 2017.

Selling, distribution and marketing expenses decreased by 8.3% to €5.1 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, aided by lower employee related expenses and warranty expenses. As a percentage of net sales revenue, selling, distribution and marketing expenses improved to 4.8% in the three months ended 31 March 2018, from 6.3% in the three months ended 31 March 2017.

Research and development expenses decreased by 14.2% to €0.9 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, reflecting lower depreciation charges and miscellaneous expenses. As a percentage of net sales revenue, research and development expenses improved to 0.8% in the three months ended 31 March 2018, from 1.2% in the three months ended 31 March 2017.

Other income decreased by €1.5 million to €0.7 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, primarily reflecting last year's insurance compensation.

Finance costs declined by 30.7% year‐on‐year to €4.9 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, driven by a lower gross debt level and cost of debt following the recently completed capital restructuring process.

In the three months ended 31 March 2018, the Group incurred restructuring costs of €0.3 million related to the termination of one production shift in Indonesia. Frigoglass incurred restructuring costs of €3.7 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017 related to the Group's capital restructuring process.

Income tax expense increased to €3.7 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, following increased pre‐tax profits in Nigeria and Romania.

Frigoglass reported net losses of €1.4 million from discontinued operations for the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to losses of €1.8 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, due to lower depreciation charges following the fixed assets impairment. Net losses reflect continued weak demand and the consequent cost under‐ absorption in the Dubai‐based glass plant. Including discontinued operations, Frigoglass reported net losses of €3.7 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to losses of €12.2 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, reflecting the improved operating profit and the capital restructuring related expenses that impacted the prior year.

Cash Flow

Net cash from/(used in) operating activities

Net cash from operating activities amounted to €0.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to net cash used in operating activities of €0.4 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This improvement reflects the higher operating profit and lower restructuring costs in the three months ended 31 March 2018. It also reflects an increase in other liabilities of €3.2 million for the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to an increase of €2.6 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017.

Net cash from/(used in) investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to €3.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to €1.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, reflecting increased capital expenditure in ICM and Glass operations.

Net cash from/(used in) financing activities

Net cash from financing activities amounted to €5.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to net cash used in financing activities of €3.3 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017. This increase reflects net proceeds of bank loans of €8.1 million in the three months ended 31 March 2018, compared to net repayments of €2.2 million the prior year.

Net trade working capital

Net trade working capital from continuing operations as of 31 March 2018 amounted to €124.9 million, compared to €95.9 million as of 31 March 2017. This increase reflects inventory build‐up following sustained demand in the next couple of months, higher trade receivables due to the top‐line growth in 1Q18 and lower trade payables following the normalisation of payments due to the completion of the capital restructuring.

Continuing Operations (in €m) 31 March 2018 31 March 2017
Trade debtors 97.7 83.7
Inventories 92.3 87.4
Trade creditors 65.0 75.2
Net Trade Working Capital 124.9 95.9

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures amounted to €3.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2018, of which €3.3 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and €0.5 million related to the purchase of intangible assets, compared to €1.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, of which €1.4 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and €0.4 million related to the purchase of intangible assets.

Business Outlook

In an improving macroeconomic environment with key customers stepping up coolers' investments to improve in‐market execution, we anticipate sales growth in 2018. The commercial refrigeration business will benefit from the sustained growth momentum in key markets. In Europe, strong demand for ICOOL from Coca‐Cola bottlers and Service business (Frigoserve) roll‐out will drive sales growth in the region. Through the commercialization of Flex and Plus ranges we aim to enhance our customer base and improve our cost competiveness in the region. Following a strong start to the year, we focus on maintaining growth in Africa through the recently launched Hybrid cooler and the cost competitive new Super range with HCF‐free refrigerants. In Asia, our priority is to enhance our presence in the highly competitive market and improve our cost competitiveness through our recently launched SL range. In the Glass business, supported by favorable beverage market trends, we anticipate growth momentum to continue in our glass and complementary plastic crates businesses in Nigeria.

As part of the drive towards the return to profitable growth and operational excellence, we remain focused on realizing material cost savings, implement continuous Lean manufacturing to free‐up capacity and further improve productivity, as well as, product range simplification investments to drive efficiencies. We are constantly reviewing our manufacturing footprint to allow high production flexibility and cost competitiveness. In the Glass business, volume leverage and price initiatives will also support profit margins this year.

Full‐year capital expenditure estimate of approximately €29 million remains unchanged.

FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. Commercial Refrigerators General Commercial Registry: 1351401000

Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements

Note 1 ‐ General Information

These interim condensed financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. (the "Company") and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The names of the subsidiaries are presented in Note 14 of the financial statements.

FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacturing, trade and distribution of commercial refrigeration units and packaging materials for the beverage industry. The Group has manufacturing plants and sales offices in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and based in Kifissia, Attica.

The Company's' shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The address of its registered office is:

15, A. Metaxa Street GR 145 64, Kifissia Athens, Hellas

The company's web page is: www.frigoglass.com

The interim condensed financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 7th June 2018.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union, and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for assets held for sale which are measured at fair value less cost of disposal.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

Differences that may exist between the figures of the financial statement and those of the notes are due to rounding. Wherever it was necessary, the comparative figures have been reclassified in order to be comparable with the current year's presentation.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern basis of accounting. The use of this basis of accounting takes into consideration the Group's current and forecasted financing position.

The Interim Condensed Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 that are available on the company's web page www.frigoglass.com.

On April 2018, the Company reached an agreement to sell the entire share capital of its glass container subsidiary Frigoglass Jebel Ali FZE. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2018, while it is anticipated that the proceeds of the sale, after certain deductions including transaction related fees and expenses, will be applied towards the reduction of Frigoglass' first lien debt.

Frigoglass S.A.I.C. has an equity position of €22,8m, therefore, is lower than half (1/2) of the share capital. As a consequence, the requirements of article 47 of the Companies Act 2190/1920 are applicable.

The total consolidated current liabilities of the group amounted to €183,5m and the total consolidated current assets amounted to €289,7m.

The Group's financial projections for the upcoming 12 months indicate that it will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

Taking into consideration the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to successfully navigate the present uncertainties and continue its operation. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Note 3 – Principal accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in preparing this Interim Condensed Financial Information are consistent with those described in the Company and Group annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

There have been no changes in the accounting policies that were used for the preparation of the annual financial statements prepared by the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2017.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for assets held for sale which are measured at fair value less cost of disposal.

The preparation of these Interim Condensed Financial Information in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 01.01.2018.

None of the standards and interpretations issued is expected to have a significant effect on the Consolidated or the Parent Company financial statements with the exception of IFRS 16 "Leases" effective after 1 January 2019.

For IFRS 16 "Leases" effective for annual periods after 1 January 2019 the management of the company is evaluating the impact on the Consolidated or the Parent Company financial statements.

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and subsequent amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 which deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it also includes an expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model that was applied under IAS 39. IFRS 9 establishes a more principles‐based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the previous model in IAS 39.

The Group and the Company applied the Standard from 1 January 2018 retrospectively, without revising comparative information from previous years.

During 2017, the Group and the Company completed their study of the requirements of IFRS 9 on Classification and Measurement (including impairment), concluding that their financial instruments will be accounted for in a manner similar to IAS 39. In particular, the examination of the business model and cash flow characteristics does not affect the classification and measurement of trade and other receivables of the Group and the Company that will continue to be measured at amortized cost. The effect of the new impairment model was also examined. The Group and the Company have determined that their trade receivables and other financial assets generally have a low credit risk.

The effect of applying the new model of expected loss to the Group and the Company does not affect the financial statements.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 has been issued in May 2014. The objective of the standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. It contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognised. The underlying principle is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Group and the Company adopted the Standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, the transition effect will be collectively recognized in the "Retained earnings", while the comparative amounts will not be restated.

In 2017, the Group and the Company examined a representative sample of contracts with customers in order to identify changes in the time or amount of revenue recognition.

The studies were conducted on contracts that would not have been completed on the date of the first application, and receipts from sales of commercial refrigeration including service provision and sales of glass were examined.

Ratings have shown that no adjustment is required during the transition.

IFRS 4 (Amendments) "Applying IFRS 9 Financial instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance contracts"

The amendments introduce two approaches. The amended standard: a) gives all companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts standard is issued; and b) gives companies, whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance, an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021. The entities that have elected to defer the application of IFRS 9 continue to apply the existing financial instruments standard—IAS 39.

IFRS 2 (Amendments) "Classification and measurement of Shared‐based Payment transactions"

The amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash‐settled, share‐based payments and the accounting for modifications that change an award from cash‐settled to equity‐ settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity‐settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share‐based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority.

IAS 40 (Amendments) "Transfers of Investment Property"

The amendments clarified that to transfer to, or from, investment properties there must be a change in use. To conclude if a property has changed use there should be an assessment of whether the property meets the definition and the change must be supported by evidence.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration"

The interpretation provides guidance on how to determine the date of the transaction when applying the standard on foreign currency transactions, IAS 21. The interpretation applies where an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency‐denominated contracts.

Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014 (2014 – 2016 Cycle)

IAS 28 "Investments in associates and Joint ventures"

The amendments clarified that when venture capital organisations, mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities use the election to measure their investments in associates or joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), this election should be made separately for each associate or joint venture at initial recognition.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

IFRS 9 (Amendments) "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The amendments allow companies to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so‐called negative compensation at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met—instead of at fair value through profit or loss.

IFRS 16 "Leases" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

IFRS 16 has been issued in January 2016 and supersedes IAS 17. The objective of the standard is to ensure the lessees and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

For IFRS 16 "Leases" effective for annual periods after 1 January 2019 the management of the company is evaluating the impact on the Consolidated or the Parent Company financial statements.

IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021)

IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The new standard solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 28 (Amendments) "Long term interests in associates and joint ventures" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The amendments clarify that companies account for long‐term interests in an associate or joint venture—to which the equity method is not applied—using IFRS 9. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over income tax treatments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The interpretation explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. IFRIC 23 applies to all aspects of income tax accounting where there is such uncertainty, including taxable profit or loss, the tax bases of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 19 (Amendments) "Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The amendments specify how companies determine pension expenses when changes to a defined benefit pension plan occur. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Annual Improvements to IFRS (2015 – 2017 Cycle) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The amendments set out below include changes to four IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 3 "Business combinations"

The amendments clarify that a company remeasures its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business.

IFRS 11 "Joint arrangements"

The amendments clarify that a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business.

IAS 12 "Income taxes"

The amendments clarify that a company accounts for all income tax consequences of dividend payments in the same way.

IAS 23 "Borrowing costs"

The amendments clarify that a company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

Note 4 ‐ Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year concern income tax.

4.1.1 Income Taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required by the Group Management in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. If the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax.

4.1.2 Estimated impairment of goodwill

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.6.1. of the annual financial statements. The recoverable amounts of cash‐generating units have been determined based on value‐in‐ use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (see Note 7).

4.1.3. Estimated impairment of investments

The Group's investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment when indications exist that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries is determined on value in use calculations, which requires the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a one year period and cash projections for four additional years. At 31 December 2017, the Company has an investment in Frigoinvest Holdings B.V. of €60 m, which holds the Group's subsidiaries in the ICM and Glass segments which represent the two identifiable, separate cash generating units. Based on the assessment performed by management no impairment charge was recognized with respect to the Company's investment in subsidiary.

4.1.4. Estimation of useful lives of fixed assets

The Group assesses on an annual basis, the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These estimates take into account the relevant operational facts and circumstances, the future plans of Management and the market conditions that exist as at the date of the assessment.

4.1.5. Provision for doubtful debts

The provision for doubtful debts has been based on the outstanding balances of specific debtors after taking into account their ageing and the agreed credit terms. This process has excluded receivables from subsidiaries as Management is of the view that these receivables are not likely to require an impairment provision. The analysis of the provision is presented in Note 9.

4.1.6. Staff retirement benefit obligations

The present value of the retirement benefit obligations depend on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the relevant obligation comprises the discount rate, the expected return on plan assets, the rate of compensation increase, the rate of inflation and future estimated pension increases. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the retirement benefit obligations. The Group determines the amount of the retirement benefit obligations using suitably qualified independent actuaries at each year‐end's balance sheet date

4.1.7. Estimated impairment of property, plant & equipment

The Group's property, plant & equipment is tested for impairment when indications exist that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the property, plant & equipment is determined under IAS 36 at the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. When the recoverable amount is determined on a value in use basis, the use of assumptions is required.

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

There are no areas that Management required to make critical judgements in applying accounting policies.

4.3 Financial risk management

The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2017. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end of the previous year.

Note 5 ‐ Segment Information

The fair value of trade debtors closely approximates their carrying value. The Group and the Company have a significant concentration of credit risk with specific customers which comprise large international groups such as Coca ‐ Cola HBC, other Coca ‐ Cola bottlers, Diageo ‐ Guinness and Heineken.

The Group does not require its customers to provide any pledges or collateral due to the general high calibre and international reputation of portfolio.

Management does not expect any losses from non‐performance of trade receivables, other than as provided for as at 31.03.2018.

Grants for exports receivable of € 7,3m. (2017 € 7,3m.) comprise of Export Expansion Grants (EEG) and Negotiable Duty Credit Certificates (NDCC). Export Expansion Grants (EEG) are granted by the Nigerian Government on exports of goods produced in the country, which meet certain eligibility criteria. These grants are recognized at fair value, and Management does not expect any losses from non‐recoverability.

Negotiable Duty Credit Certificates (NDCC) originate from export grants received from the government and are useful for the settlement of custom duties payable to the government, with no expiry date.

A revised scheme has been proposed to be implemented as of 2018, whereby the Settlement of Claims for EEG by the Nigerian Government will be performed through the issue of negotiable tax credit certificates to the beneficiaries. This instrument, known as Export Credit Certificate (ECC), will be used to settle all Federal Government taxes such as company income tax, VAT, WHT, etc. as well as the following: a. purchase of Federal Government Bonds, b. settlement of credit facilities by Bank of Industry, NEXIM Bank and Central Bank of Nigeria intervention Facilities, and c. settlement of AMCON liabilities. The Certificate will be valid for two years and will be transferable once to the final beneficiaries. Existing EEG claims not yet settled will continue to be eligible under the revised scheme. It is proposed that the existing NDCCs with the Exporters will be swapped with promissory notes (under‐written by the Federal Government).

The V.A.T receivable is fully recoverable through the operating activity of the Group and the Company.

Other receivables comprise of various prepayments and accrued income not invoiced. The fair value of other receivables closely approximates their carrying value.

The tight liquidity in 2017 and 2018 in the foreign exchange market in Nigeria has significantly limited our ability to execute payments in foreign currency, leading to a high Nigerian Naira cash balance of € 22 m.. We expect the excess cash to be utilised among others to fund capital expenditure and raw material purchases over the coming years.

With the exception of the 2nd Lien Notes, the Group borrows at floating interest rates, which are renegotiated in periods not longer than six months.

In May 2013, the Company's indirect subsidiary Frigoglass Finance B.V. (the "Issuer" or "Borrower") issued €250m senior notes due 15 May 2018 (the "2013 Notes"), at a fixed coupon of 8,25% per annum and at an issue price of 100%. In addition, the Group also entered into two bilateral revolving credit facilities (the "2013 RCFs"), each in an amount of €25m and with a three year maturity (i.e. maturing on the 17th of May 2016).

On 22 April 2016, the lenders under the 2013 RCFs entered into an agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which they agreed to extend the maturity of the 2013 RCFs up to 31 March 2017 and to waive all breaches and to make certain other amendments to the terms of the 2013 RCFs including the removal of certain financial covenants, subject to certain conditions being met (including the provision of the Boval Term Loan Facility (as defined below) by the Company's largest shareholder, Boval S.A. ("Boval"). On 31 March 2016, Boval committed to provide the Group with a €30m term loan facility (the "Boval Term Loan Facility") maturing on 31 March 2017, on terms substantially similar to the 2013 RCFs and subject to shareholder approval at the Company's general meeting of shareholders. The shareholders approved the Boval Term Loan Facility at the general meeting held on 22 April 2016. The Boval Term Loan Facility was fully drawn as of 31st December 2016.

In connection with the amendment and extension of the 2013 RCFs, Frigoglass agreed to repay and cancel €12m of indebtedness outstanding under each 2013 RCF by 31 December 2016 pursuant to an amortization schedule.

In accordance with relevant IFRS pronouncements, the 2013 Notes were re‐classified as current liabilities as of 31 December 2016 on the basis that the payment and covenant obligations under the 2013 RCFs had triggered an event of default under the 2013 Notes due to the fact that the waivers obtained as at the balance sheet dates did not cover a period of 12 months after the respective balance sheet date.

The Group in 2016 engaged several advisors and began a comprehensive review of its business and financing arrangements in order to optimize the capital structure of the Group and to ensure that an adequate level of financial liquidity is achieved and maintained.

On 23 October 2017 the capital restructuring was completed following the satisfaction of all conditions precedents and the completion of all required implementation steps.

As part of the overall capital restructuring of the Group, Frigoglass entered into new debt arrangements that replaced the existing Group financing with new financing with extended maturities. The 2013 Notes issued by the Issuer were cancelled and delisted from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in connection with the completion of the restructuring.

The key elements of the Restructuring are:

  • (1) Boval contributed a total of €60m in equity to the transaction as part of the Rights Issue (of which €30m in new cash and €30m was utilized for the repayment of the principal amount of the Boval Term Loan Facility from the Issuer).
  • (2) €40m new debt (the "First Lien New Money Debt") has been provided in the form of first lien senior secured notes due 2021 by the holders of the 2013 Notes and in the form of first lien senior secured revolving credit facilities made available by the Core Banks.
  • (3) 2013 Noteholders and the Core Banks who participated in providing The New Debt, were entitled to exchange, for each euro of First Lien New Money Debt provided by them, two euros of principal amount of their existing debt for an equivalent principal amount of first lien senior secured debt, in the form of additional notes in the case of noteholders and additional revolving credit facilities in the case of the Core Banks.
  • (4) The remaining principal amount of 2013 Notes of each noteholder was exchanged for 50% of second priority secured notes (the "Second Lien Notes") and the remaining principal amount, after giving effect to the Discount (as defined below), was repaid by delivery of shares in the Company and with a certain amount of cash.
  • (5) The remaining existing facilities provided by the Core Banks were exchanged in 82,5% for a participation in second priority secured facilities (the "Second Lien Facilities") and the remaining principal amount, after giving effect to the Discount (as defined below), was repaid by delivery of shares in the Company and with a certain amount of cash.
  • (6) The repayment or equitization of the 2013 Notes and Core Bank debt will reflect a €45m discount to be allocated on a pro rata basis (the "Discount").
  • (7) The repayment and equitization of the 2013 Notes and the remaining existing facilities provided by the Core Banks amounted to €3,46m and €59,6m respectively. The equitization was completed with the conversion of 163,984,878 Convertible Bonds of the Parent, of nominal value €0.36348 each. The fair value of the new shares that started trading in the Athens Stock Exchange on 16.11.2017 (date of equitization) was €24,1m generating a profit of €35,5m for the Group and the reduction of the Parent's intergroup loan to €31.3m.

The Group's new first‐lien indebtedness under the First Lien Debt amounts to approximately €120,0m, consisting of €40,4m senior secured first‐lien facilities and €79.4m senior secured first‐lien notes. The Group's second‐lien debt amounts to approximately €141m, comprising of €42,2m second‐lien secured facilities and €98,5m second‐lien secured notes. The above amounts assume full utilization of the new revolving credit facilities (RCFs).

Note 15 ‐ Share capital

A) Share capital:

2016

2017 The share capital of the company at 31.12.2016 comprises of 50.593.832 fully paid up ordinary shares of € 0,30 each. The share premium accounts represents the difference between the issue of shares (in cash) and their par value.

The 1st Repetitive General Meeting of shareholders of "FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C." took place on June 27, 2017. The following items of the agenda were discussed and resolved:

a) the increase of the nominal value of each common registered share of the Company from € 0,30 to € 0,90 through merger of every 3 existing shares to 1 new share and parallel decrease of the total number of shares from 50.593.832 to 16.864.610 (reverse share split 3:1).

b) the nominal decrease of the Company's share capital by the amount of € 9.106.889,40, by a corresponding decrease of the nominal value of each Company's share from € 0,90 (as such will be adjusted following the reverse share split) to € 0,36, according to article 4 para. 4a of C.L. 2190/1920, for the purpose of forming a special reserve of equal amount the use of which will be decided in the future.

c) the share capital increase of the Company up to the amount of € 136.398.446,64, in accordance with article 13a of C.L. 2190/1920, with pre‐emptive rights for the existing shareholders of the Company at a ratio of 22,46 new shares for each existing share through payment in cash and the issuance of 378.884.574 new common voting registered shares, with a nominal value of € 0,36 each, and subscription price of € 0,36.

The share capital increase through cash payment was completed on 18.10.2017 and the amount paid was € 63.459.341,82 which was allocated to € 62.851.774,68 in the share capital account and € 607.567,14 to the share premium account.

d) issuance of 163.984.878 new shares of the Company with a nominal value of € 0.36348 each following the conversion of 163.984.878 Convertible Bonds of a nominal value of € 0,36348 each held by the participating bank lenders and the Scheme creditors.

The Board of Directors of Frigoglass on 23.10.2017 ratified the relevant share capital increase as a result of the above conversion by the amount of € 59.034.556,08. Due to the fact that the share capital increase resulted from the conversion of existing borrowings, the issued capital was recognized at its fair value, ie the stock market value of the shares at the date of the issue, which on November 16, 2017 was € 0,147 per share. As a result, the difference from the nominal value of the shares of € 34.929 thousands was recognized to the share premium account.

The share capital of the Group as at 31.12.2017 comprised of 355.437.751 fully paid up ordinary shares with an nominal value of € 0,36 each.

2018

The share capital of the Group as at 31.03.2018 comprised of 355.437.751 fully paid up ordinary shares with an nominal value of € 0,36 each.

A statutory reserve is created under the provisions of Hellenic law (Law 2190/20) according to which, an amount of at least 5% of the profit (after tax) for the year must be transferred to this reserve until it reaches one third of the paid up share capital. The statutory reserve can not be distributed to the shareholders of the Company except for the case of liquidation.

The share option reserve refers to the established Stock Option Plan provided to senior managers and members of the Management Committee, as described in Note 15.

The Company has created tax free reserves, in accordance with several Hellenic tax laws, during the years, in order to achieve tax deductions, either

a) by postponing the settlement of tax liabilities until the distribution of the reserves to the shareholders, or

b) by eliminating any future income tax payment related to the issuance of bonus shares to the shareholders.

Should the reserves be distributed to the shareholders as dividends, the distributed profits will be taxed with the applicable rate at the time of distribution.

No provision has been recognized for contingent income tax liabilities in the event of a future distribution of such reserves to the Company's shareholders since such liabilities are recognized at the same time as the dividend liability associated with such distributions.

Note 18 ‐ Income tax

The income tax rates in the countries where the Group operates are between 0% and 33%.

A part of non deductible expenses, tax losses for which no deferred income tax asset was recognised, the different tax rates in the countries in which the Group operates, incomes not subject to tax and other taxes create the final effective tax rate for the Group.

Audit Tax Certificate

For the financial years 2011 to 2017, all Hellenic Societe Anonyme and Limited Liability Companies that are required to prepare audited statutory financial statements must in addition obtain an "Annual Tax Certificate" as provided for by paragraph 5 of Article 82 of L.2238/1994 for the financial years 2011‐2013 and the Article 65A of L.4174/2013 for the financial years 2014‐2017. This "Annual Tax Certificate" must be issued by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that issues the audit opinion on the statutory financial statements.

Upon completion of the tax audit, the statutory auditor or audit firm must issue a "Tax Compliance Report" which will subsequently be submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance.

For the years 2011 up to 2016 a respective "Tax Certificate" has been issued by the statutory Certified Auditors in accordance with art 65A of Law 4174/2013, without any qualification or matter of emphasis as pertains to the tax compliance of the Company.

The year 2017 is also audited by the company's certified auditor, the "Tax Certificate" of which has not been issued as yet, since its filing deadline is 31 October 2018.

For financial year 2017, tax audit is in progress and the Company's management does not expect that additional tax liabilities will arise for this year.

Unaudited Tax Years

The Parent Company has not been audited by tax authorities for the 2010 financial year.

Up to 31.03.2018 we have not been officially served with any audit mandate by the competent Greek tax authorities for the year 2010.

Consequently, the State is not anymore entitled, due to the lapse of the statute of limitation, to issue assessment sheets

and assessment acts for taxes, duties, contributions and surcharges for the years up to and including 2010, pursuant to

the following provisions:

(a) para. 1 art. 84 of Law 2238/1994 (unaudited cases of Income taxation),

(b) para. 1 art. 57 of Law 2859/2000 (unaudited cases of Value Added Tax), and,

(c) para. 5 art. 9 of Law 2523/1997 (imposition of penalties for income tax cases).

For the Parent Company, the "Tax Compliance Report" for the financial years 2011 ‐ 2016 has been issued with no substantial adjustments with respect to the tax expense and corresponding tax provision as reflected in the annual financial statements of 2011 ‐ 2016.

The Parent company received an audit mandate for a tax re‐examination for 2012.

The tax returns of the Parent Company and the Group's subsidiaries have not been assessed by the tax authorities for different periods (see the table below).

Until such time the special tax audit of the companies in the below table is completed, the tax burden for the Group relating to those years cannot be accurately determined. The Group is raising provisions for any additional taxes that may result from future tax audits to the extent that the relevant liability is probable and may be reliably measured.

Note 18 ‐ Income tax (continued)

Note:

In some countries, the tax audit is not mandatory and may only be performed under certain conditions.

Note 21 ‐ Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company (treasury shares).

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year is the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted by the decrease in the number of ordinary shares due to the reverse split adjusted retrospectively and the increase in the number of ordinary shares issued during the year due to the share capital increase with cash and the share capital increase with the conversion of bonds ( Note 15) , multiplied by a time‐weighting factor.

Given that the average share price for the year is not in excess of the available stock options' exercise price, there is no dilutive effect.

According IAS 33, the weighted average number of shares for 2017 and the comparative of 2016 has been adjusted to a 1/3 rate to reflect the effect of reverse split on earnings per share, which was decided at the 1st Repetitive General Meeting of shareholders on June 27, 2017.

Note 29 ‐ Discontinued operations

A) Description

The Company announced on 2 April 2018 that it has entered into an agreement to sell the entire share capital of its wholly owned glass container subsidiary Frigoglass Jebel Ali FZE to ATG Investments Limited. The total cash consideration of the transaction amounts to US \$ 12,5m., on a debt‐free basis. US \$ 5m. will be payable on completion of the transaction, with a further US \$ 7,5m. in 4 instalments over 4 years following completion of the transaction. The above payments are subject to working capital and other customary adjustments.

The decision to sell this operation was taken at the Board of Directors meeting held on 2 March 2018.

Based on the current course of the transaction, management concluded that the provisions of IFRS 5 were in effect at the end of the year ended December 31, 2017 because management has obtained the necessary approvals for the sale of that subsidiary and has been identified a reasonable cash consideration for the sale and the aforementioned activities have been presented as assets held for sale.

Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Based on the fair value less costs to sell a loss of € 11,353 m. has been charged in discontinued operations.

In the context of this sale the Group will leave two geographical areas of Glass Industry (United Arab Emirates, Asia ‐ Oceania) and for this reason it has been portrayed as discontinued operations.

Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs")

The Group uses certain Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") in making financial, operating and planning decisions as well as in evaluating and reporting its performance. These APMs provide additional insights and understanding to the Group's operating and financial performance, financial condition and cash flow. The APMs should be read in conjunction with and do not replace by any means the directly reconcilable IFRS line items.

Definitions and reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs")

In discussing the performance of the Group, certain measures are used, which are calculated by deducting from the directly reconcilable amounts of the Financial Statements the impact of restructuring costs. In this context, we are focusing on the APMs from Continued Operations, while we also present Discontinued Operations for reconciliation purposes.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs comprise costs arising from significant changes in the way the Group conducts business, such as the discontinuation of manufacturing operations, as well as expenses related to the Group's capital restructuring, debt write‐off and gains from the conversion of the convertible bonds. These costs are included in the Company's/Group's Income Statement, while the payment of these expenses are included in the Cash Flow Statement. However, they are excluded from the results in order for the user to obtain a better understanding of the Group's operating and financial performance achieved from ongoing activity.

EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)

EBITDA is calculated by adding back to profit before income tax, the depreciation, the impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and net finance cost/income. EBITDA margin (%) is defined as EBITDA divided by Net Sales Revenue.

(in € 000's) 1Q18 1Q17
Profit / (Loss) before income tax 3,047 ‐6,832
Depreciation 4,874 5,484
Restructuring costs 275 3,748
Finance costs 4,933 7,122
EBITDA 13,129 9,522
Net sales revenue 105,664 88,214
EBITDA margin, % 12.4% 10.8%

EBITDA is intended to provide useful information to analyze the Group's operating performance.

Net Trade Working Capital (NTWC)

Net Trade Working Capital is calculated by subtracting Trade Payables from the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables. The Group presents Net Trade Working Capital because it believes the measure assists users of the financial statements to better understand its short term liquidity and efficiency.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is an APM used by the Group and defined as cash generated by operating activities after cash generated from investing activities. Free cash flow is intended to measure the cash generation from the Group's business, based on operating activities, including the efficient use of working capital and taking into account the purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group presents free cash flow because it believes the measure assists users of the financial statements in understanding the Group's cash generating performance as well as availability for interest payment, dividend distribution and own retention.
