Financial Review

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Net sales revenue decreased by 7.5% to €94.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This decline was mainly driven by lower net sales revenues in Asia following the discontinuation of manufacturing operations in China and intense competition in Southeast Asia.

Net sales revenue from ICM Operations decreased by 8.2% to €70.1 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. In Eastern Europe, net sales revenue increased by 13.8% to €30.8 million, reflecting Russia's ongoing recovery and the expansion of the Integrated Services offering to more regions in Russia. Following signs of macroeconomic environment improvement, key customers in Russia's beer segment invested in coolers to improve their execution in the market place. Sales to Coca-Cola bottlers in the region were down year-on-year, mainly reflecting orders being postponed to the upcoming quarters. In West Europe, net sales revenue increased by 14.9% to €21.2 million, primarily led by increased demand from the Coca-Cola bottler in Germany.

Net sales revenue in Asia and Oceania decreased by 38.4% to €10.8 million, mainly reflecting the closure of China's plant which had a significant adverse impact on orders in this market. In Vietnam, the intense competition impacted our sales in the quarter. Excluding China, sales in our Asia business grew 2.5%, reflecting higher cooler placements in India. Net sales revenue in Africa and Middle East decreased by 44.7% to €6.7 million. In Nigeria, trading conditions remained difficult, impacting our customers' cooler investments. Our sales in East Africa were down year-on-year, mainly due to lower demand in Kenya and Uganda. Net sales revenue in North America reached €0.6 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to €1.2 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Net sales revenue from Glass Operations decreased by 5.4% to €24.2 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, primarily reflecting the lower year-on-year demand in Jebel Ali and the unfavorable currency impact driven by the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira. Net sales revenue in the Nigerian operations increased by 5.2%, primarily driven by increased demand for Metal Crowns and price increases. Sales in our core glass operations were down 3.5%, reflecting the adverse Naira translation impact in the quarter. In local currency terms, sales in our Nigerian operations were up 57% yearon-year. Price increases to partially absorb the cost inflation caused by the devaluation of the Naira and continued demand from pharmaceutical companies were the main drivers of this performance. Metal Crowns and Plastic Crates had a good performance in the quarter, with sales growing 46.4% mainly on strong demand from the local Coca-Cola bottler and new customers. Sales in our business in Dubai declined by double digits due to lower demand from soft drink customers in Asia and the late introduction of new products in the market.

Cost of goods sold decreased by 6.3% to €81.6 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This was principally attributable to lower sales and the better fixed cost absorption due to the discontinuation of the manufacturing operations in China. Overall, cost of goods sold as a percentage of the Group's net sales revenue increased to 86.6% for the three months ended 31 March 2017, from 85.5% for the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Administrative expenses decreased by 9.8% to €5.2 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This was primarily attributable to lower employee related expenses and third-party fees. The ratio of administrative expenses to net sales revenue decreased at 5.5% in the three months ended 31 March 2017, from 5.7% in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Selling, distribution and marketing expenses decreased by 4.3% to €5.8 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower employee related expenses. As a percentage of net sales revenue, selling, distribution and marketing expenses increased to 6.1% in the three months ended 31 March 2017, from 5.9% in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Research and development expenses decreased by 5.8% to €1.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017. This decrease is principally attributable to lower employee related expenses. As a percentage of net sales revenue, research and development expenses remained at the same level in the three months ended 31 March 2017 as in the three months ended 31 March 2016, i.e. at 1.1%.

Other operating income increased by €1.4 million to €2.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017.

Finance costs decreased by 20.8% to €7.5 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017 from €9.5 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016. This is primarily attributable to lower year-on-year foreign exchange losses. In the three months ended 31 March 2017, the Group incurred restructuring costs of €3.7 million related to the capital restructuring.

Income tax expense increased to €2.5 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, following increased profits in Nigeria and Russia.

Net losses attributable to shareholders amounted to €12.2 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to losses of €8.3 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Cash Flow

Net cash from/(used in) operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to €0.4 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to net cash from operating activities of €2.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2016. This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase of €11.3 million in trade receivables, compared to an increase of €8.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2016. It also reflects an increase in other liabilities of €2.6 million for the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to an increase of €5.3 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Net cash from/(used in) investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to €1.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to €2.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016. This decrease primarily reflects lower capital expenditure in the ICM Operations.

Net cash from/(used in) financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to €3.3 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to net cash from financing activities of €6.0 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016. This decrease reflects net repayments of bank loans of €2.2 million in the three months ended 31 March 2017, compared to net proceeds of €8.0 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016.

Net trade working capital

Net trade working capital as of 31 March 2017 amounted to €108.6 million, compared to €125.7 million as of 31 March 2016. This decrease mainly reflects lower trade receivables.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures amounted 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, compared to €2.8 million in the three months ended 31 March 2016, of which €2.1 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and €0.7 million related to the purchase of intangible assets.

Business Outlook

Although Russia's macroeconomic environment has started to show some signs of improvement, we expect uncertainty and volatility to remain in some of our key markets for the rest of the year. We reiterate our focus on gaining profitable market share within Coca-Cola bottlers in Europe through ICOOL, as well as expanding the Service business. In Africa, we focus on recent pioneering coolers innovation that mitigates the impact of power outages and the expansion of the Integrated Service offering in Nigeria. In Asia, the launch of new cost competitive coolers will help to offset the impact from the discontinuation of China's manufacturing operations.

In the Glass business, we are taking actions to absorb cost increases caused by the devaluation of the Naira. For our Dubai-based operations, we are focusing in reaching multiyear agreements to secure annual minimum volume with customers in Asia, Australia and other markets.

We reiterate our annual capital expenditure estimate for 2017 at approximately €28 million, including a cold repair in one of our furnaces in Nigeria later in the year.

2. Basis of Preparation

This condensed interim financial information for the period 01.01.2017 to 31.03.2017 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and specifically in terms of IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'.

The interim condensed financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 that are available on the company's web page www.frigoglass.com.

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.

During the period ended 31 March 2017, the Group reported losses after tax and minority amounting to €12.2 million and the Total Equity was negative at €108.64 million.

In May 2013, Frigoglass Finance B.V. issued €250m Senior Notes due on 15 May 2018 (the "Notes"), at a fixed coupon of 8.25% per annum and at an issue price of 100% to refinance existing Group facilities. In addition, the Group also entered into two bilateral revolving credit facilities (the "RCFs"), each in an amount of €25 million, and a three year maturity. The Notes and the RCFs are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Frigoglass S.A.I.C. ("SAIC") (other than with respect to one of the RCFs), Frigoinvest Holdings B.V. (the direct parent company of the Issuer of the Notes) and by certain other subsidiaries of the Group (refer to Note 13). The Notes are subject to incurrence covenants while for the RCFs, the Group is required to comply with, among other things, debt service and leverage financial covenants.

On 18 March 2014, the Group entered into an amendment to the RCFs to reset the financial covenants to new levels. On 31 March 2016, the lenders under the RCFs entered into an agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which they agreed to extend the maturity of the RCFs up to 31 March 2017 and to waive all breaches and to make certain other amendments to the terms of the RCFs, subject to certain conditions being met (including the provision of the Term Loan Facility by the Company's largest shareholder, Boval SA ("Boval")) also up to 31 March 2017. In connection with the amendment and extension of the RCFs, Frigoglass agreed to repay and cancel €12 million of indebtedness outstanding under each RCF by 31 December 2016.

In accordance with relevant IFRS pronouncements, the Notes were re-classified as current liabilities as of 31 December 2016 on the basis that the payment and covenant obligations under the RCFs have triggered an event of default under the 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 year end date. The impact of this reclassification is that the Group's current liabilities exceed its current assets by €241m and therefore may result in a working capital shortfall should the below described debt restructuring plan not be completed timely.

On 31 March 2016, the Group's major shareholder committed to provide the Group with a €30 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") maturing also on 31 March 2017, on terms substantially similar to the RCFs and subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The shareholders approved the Term Loan Facility at the AGM which was convened on 22 April 2016. An amount of €20m was drawn in May 2016 and an additional amount of €10m was drawn in July 2016.

Further to the above the Group early in 2016 engaged several advisers 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 12 April 2017 the Group entered into a legally binding agreement (the "Lock up Agreement") on the key terms of the restructuring of its indebteness (the "Restructuring"), with its key stakeholders, including its largest shareholder, Boval, an adhoc committee representing approximately 39% of the holders of the Notes, and Frigoglass' core lending banks CITIBANK, HSBC, Alpha Bank and Eurobank (the "Core banks").

The key transaction highlights are:

  • (1) Frigoglass's main shareholder, Boval, is contributing a total of €60 million in equity to the transaction, of which €30 million in new cash and €30 million through full equitisation of the Boval Term Loan Facility. Boval's €60 million equity contribution will be undertaken as part of a pre-emptive rights issue, in which existing shareholders will be offered the opportunity to subscribe to new shares of the Company. Following the implementation of the Restructuring, Boval is expected to remain the Company's largest shareholder.
  • (2) €40 million will be provided in the form of new first lien secured funding by the Core Banks and the holders of the Notes who elect to participate in this new first lien senior secured funding. All noteholders and the Core Banks have the option to participate in the first lien new money debt pro-rata to their holdings of existing debt to the aggregate of existing debt. The Core Banks and the Ad-Hoc Committee have agreed to participate in such new first lien secured funding, pro rata to their exposure (approximately 32%) to the Group, on 20 March 2017 and have agreed to underwrite the full amount of the new first lien secured funding on behalf of noteholders that do not elect to participate. All noteholders and the Core Banks are also entitled to exchange for each Euro 1.000 of first lien new money debt, Euro 2.000 of principal amount of existing debt with an equivalent amount of new first lien debt (Roll up).
  • (3) Remaining Existing notes (after giving effect to the Roll up, if any) to be exchanged for 50% in Second Lien Notes and for Shares in the Company. Remaining existing facilities (after giving effect to Roll up, if any) to be exchanged for 82,5% in Second Lien facilities and for 17.5% in parent shares. The repayment or equitisation of Senior Notes and Core Bank debt will reflect a €45 million discount to be allocated on a pro rata basis.

For more details in relation to the terms of the First lien New Money and Second Lien notes and facilities refer to note 13.

Following the restructuring the group will achieve the following (in nominal values):

Significant Deleveraging: Following the implementation of the Restructuring, the Group's outstanding gross indebtedness will be reduced by €136 – 142 million (prior to the incurrence of the €40 million new first lien secured funding). The Restructuring will result in the equitisation of 100% of the €30 million under the Boval Term Loan Facility and, depending on the participation of existing shareholders in a pre-emptive rights issue and the participation of Noteholders in the new first lien secured funding, the repayment (from the rights issue proceeds) or equitisation of up to 42% (€105 million) of the €250 million outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes and up to 13% (€11 million) of the €82 million bank debt provided by the Core Banks.

Improved Liquidity: The Group will benefit from €70 million of additional liquidity to fund its business needs, as well as Restructuring-related expenses. €30 million in new cash will be contributed by Boval as equity through the rights issue and €40 million will be provided in the form of new first lien secured funding by the Core Banks and the holders of the Senior Notes (the "Noteholders") who elect to participate in this new first lien senior secured funding.

Reduced Interest Cost: Significant reduction of its annual interest cost to approximately €13 million (excluding any interest on the new first lien secured funding) through reduction of indebtedness and lower interest cost on the Group's remaining indebtedness. Subject to completion of the Restructuring, interest on the Senior Notes, the Core Banks' facilities and the Boval Term Loan Facility will accrue as if the Restructuring had been completed as from March 15, 2017 and any accrued interest will be paid in cash on closing. No cash interest payments will be made until closing.

Significant Extension of Maturity Profile: The maturity profiles of almost all of the Group's indebtedness will be extended and committed for around 5 years.

The Group intends to implement the transaction through a UK Scheme of Arrangement ("UK Scheme") with respect to the Notes. In addition, Frigoglass Finance B.V. will solicit consents from the Noteholders to facilitate the implementation of the Restructuring through the UK Scheme. The Company will contact the relevant stakeholders with respect to the next steps and instructions for required approvals and consents in due course. The Restructuring is expected to close by the end of July 2017. A total consent fee of 60bps will be payable on closing of the Restructuring to creditors who consent within applicable time periods.

The Restructuring transactions are inter-conditional and remain subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to:

  • the approvals of the requisite majorities of outstanding Senior Notes;
  • approval of the relevant courts for the UK Scheme; and

• approval of the General Meeting of the Company and Greek authorities with respect to the issuance of the new shares.

If the restructuring process as described above is not completed by the end of July 2017, the Group is likely to default on its obligations and the board of the Company and/or other Group companies may be required to initiate insolvency protection proceedings for the Company or such other Group companies as may be relevant. In addition, restrictive covenants in the Group's indebtedness obligations resulting from the restructuring process may have the impact of limiting the Group's operations and financial flexibility and adversely impact the Group's future performance, financial results and financial condition. Furthermore adverse publicity relating to the restructuring process or the financial condition of the Group may adversely affect the Group's client and supplier relationships and/or the market perception of the Group's business.

The Directors recognize that the combination of the circumstances described above represents a material uncertainty which raises significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, on the basis that the above initiatives are successfully completed as outlined above, the Group's financial footing and ability to continue in operation will be significantly strengthened.

Thus, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to successfully navigate the present uncertainties it faces and continue in operation. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Group's financial forecasts and projections, assuming that the restructuring plan is implemented as described above, for the next 12 months indicate that the Group will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due, however, this assessment is subject to a number of downside risks as described in the "Main Risks and Uncertainties" section of the Directors' Report and in note 3 to the Group's financial statements for 2016 , particularly if such downside risks were to materialize in combination.

3. Principal accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in preparing this condensed interim financial information are consistent with those described in the Company and Group annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

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 2016.

Τhe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The preparation of these interim 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.

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year and subsequent years.

None of the standards and interpretations issued is expected to have a significant effect on the Consolidated or the Parent Company financial statements.

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

There are no new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for periods beginning on 1.1.2017.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

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 used today. IFRS 9 establishes a more principles-based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model in IAS 39. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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 will recognise 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 is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 15 on its financial statements.

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. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 16 on its financial statements. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 12 (Amendments) "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

These amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 7 (Amendments) "Disclosure initiative" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

These amendments require entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 2 (Amendments) "Classification and measurement of Shared-based Payment transactions" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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 equitysettled. 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. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 4 (Amendments) "Applying IFRS 9 Financial instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

The amendments introduce two approaches. The amended standard will: a) give 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) give companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021. The entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply the existing financial instruments standard—IAS 39. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 40 (Amendments) "Transfers of Investment Property" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 (2014 – 2016 Cycle) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to two IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 12 "Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities"

The amendment clarified that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale except for summarised financial information.

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.

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 preparation of the interim condensed financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim condensed financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

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.

For the interim Financial statements the Group and the company calculate the period tax using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual earnings. 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-inuse 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 a value in use basis, which requires the use of assumptions as is further described in note 14.

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 depends 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.

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

There are no areas that required Management 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 2016. There have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end.

Note 5 - Segment Information

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. The operating segment information presented below is based on the information that the chief operating decision makers ( the Managing Director and his Operating Committee) use to assess the performance of the Group's operating segments.

The Managing Director and the Operating Committee receive on a monthly basis detailed reports of Sales, Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash flow for every business sector in order to evaluate the performance of the business segments.

Taking into account the above, the categorization of the Group's operations in business segments is the following:

  • Ice Cold Merchandise ( ICM ) Operations

  • Glass Operations

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the Group performs an analysis to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is recoverable. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is performed on the cashgenerating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which goodwill was derived. The existing goodwill €1,514 thousand , which resulted from the business combination of Frigoglass Jebel Ali FZE (Dubai), has been allocated to cash generating units related to the Group's operations in Dubai for the respective subsidiary and the Glass segment.

The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations are based on cash flow projection, which require the use of estimates approved by Management and covering a five year period.

The key assumptions used for the Value-in-use calculation are at 31 December 2016 as follows: Discount Factor: 11%, Perpetuity growth rate: 2%

No impairment of Goodwill was indicated from the impairment tests of 2016 and 2015

The Group's principal sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operating activities, local overdraft facilities, short- and long-term local bank borrowing facilities, Notes, two bilateral revolving credit facilities and other forms of indebtedness.

There are no pledged fixed assets as at 31.12.2016 and 31.03.2017.

In May 2013, the Company announced that its subsidiary Frigoglass Finance B.V. issued €250,000,000 Senior Notes due on May 15, 2018 (the "Notes"), at a fixed coupon of 8.25% per annum and at an issue price of 100%. The Notes were issued on May 20, 2013. The proceeds from the issue were used to refinance existing Group facilities and pay the fees and expenses related to the offering and sale of the Notes.

In addition, on May 20, 2013, Frigoglass Finance B.V. entered into two bilateral Revolving Credit Facilities of a total amount of €50 million. The RCFs had a maturity date of May 17, 2016, which was extended as described below.

Both the Notes and the credit revolving facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Frigoglass S.A.I.C., Frigoinvest Holdings B.V. (the direct parent company of the Issuer) and by the following subsidiaries of Frigoinvest Holdings B.V.: Beta Glass Plc, Frigoglass Eurasia LLC, Frigoglass Indonesia PT, Frigoglass Industries (Nigeria) Ltd, Frigoglass Jebel Ali FZE, Frigoglass North America Ltd. Co., Frigoglass Turkey Soğutma Sanayi İç ve Dıs Ticaret A.Ş., Frigoglass South Africa Ltd and Frigoglass Romania SRL.

Note 13 - Non current & current borrowings (continued)

With the exception of the Notes, the Group borrows under committed and uncommitted short term facilities at floating interest rates, which are renegotiated in periods shorter than six months.

The Notes are subject to restrictive covenants while under the RCFs, the Group was required to comply with financial covenants relating to its solvency, profitability and liquidity as described below:

a) Net debt to EBITDA

b) EBITDA to net interest

At the year end date of 2015 the Group obtained waivers relating to breach of its financial covenants in relation to its RCFs and on April 22, 2016, the RCFs were amended to remove the financial covenants.

On April 26, 2016, the Revolving Credit Facility ( RCF ) lenders and the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility (the Amended and Restated Agreement).

Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, the RCF lenders extended the maturity of the RCFs until March 31, 2017 and agreed to remove certain financial covenants and waive any outstanding defaults or events of defaults.

In connection with the amendment and extension of the RCFs, Frigoglass repaid and cancelled €5 million of indebtedness outstanding under each RCF, as agreed, in April 2016, and also agreed to an amortization schedule that provides for an additional €14 million of repayments consisting of a repayment and cancellation of €5 million under each RCF on 31 October 2016 and a further repayment and cancellation of €2 million under each RCF on 31 December 2016 and a final repayment on 31st March 2017.

The interim repayments have been made per agreement, however the final repayment was not made as part of the overall restructuring of the Group ( see below )

The effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Agreement was conditional on the term loan being provided by Boval SA, an affiliate of Frigoglass' ultimate shareholder Truad Verwaltungs AG.

In April 2016 Frigoglass Finance B.V. has signed a loan agreement of a total amount of € 30 million due at 31.03.2017 with BOVAL S.A on the same terms as the RCFs.

BOVAL S.A in Luxembourg is a subsidiary of Truad Verwaltungs A.G.

The full amount of € 30 million was withdrawn until 31.12.2016

In accordance with relevant IFRS pronouncements, the Notes were re-classified as current liabilities as of 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 on the basis that the payment obligations under the RCFs could have technically been accelerated by the lenders and therefore consequently trigger an event of default under the 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 year end date.

Frigoglass S.A.I.C Notes to the Financial Statements in € 000's

Note 13 - Non current & current borrowings (continued)

On 12 April 2017 the Group entered into a legally binding agreement (the "Lock up Agreement") on the key terms of the restructuring of its indebteness (the "Restructuring") , with its key stakeholders, including its largest shareholder (Boval SA), an ad-hoc committee representing approximately 38% of the holders of Frigoglass Euro 250 million 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018, and Frigoglass core lending banks (CITIBANK, HSBC, Alpha Bank and Eurobank). Based on the Lock up Agreement:

Significant Deleveraging: Following the implementation of the Restructuring, the Group's outstanding gross indebtedness will be reduced by €136 – 142 million (prior to the incurrence of the €40 million new first lien secured funding described below). The Restructuring will result in the equitisation of 100% of the €30 million term loan provided by Boval (the "Boval Loan") and, depending on the participation of existing shareholders in a pre-emptive rights issue and the participation of Noteholders in the new first lien secured funding, the repayment (from the rights issue proceeds) or equitisation of up to 42% (€105 million) of the €250 million outstanding principal amount of Senior Notes and up to 13% (€11 million) of the €82 million bank debt provided by the Core Banks. The repayment or equitisation of Senior Notes and Core Bank debt will reflect a €45 million discount to be allocated on a pro rata basis (implementation details to be agreed among the parties to the Lock-Up Agreement).

Improved Liquidity: The Group will benefit from €70 million of additional liquidity to fund its business needs, as well as Restructuring-related expenses. €30 million in new cash will be contributed by Boval as equity through the rights issue and €40 million will be provided in the form of new first lien secured funding by the Core Banks and the holders of the Senior Notes (the "Noteholders") who elect to participate in this new first lien senior secured funding.

Reduced Interest Cost: Significant reduction of its annual interest cost to approximately €13 million (excluding any interest on the new first lien secured funding) through reduction of indebtedness and lower interest cost on the Group's remaining indebtedness.

Significant Extension of Maturity Profile: The maturity profiles of almost all of the Group's indebtedness will be extended and committed for around 5 years.

First lien Debt are senior secure obligations, senior to the Second Lien Debt comprising of first lien facilities and first lien notes, which mature in December 2021 and carry euribor + 4,25%.

The first lien debt will be repaid in six monthly instalments of euro 2m starting from March 2019.

The first lien facilities are subject to financial covenants (minimum liquidity covenant, leverage covenant, annual one week clean down) while the first lien debt is subject to cross default on maintenance covenants and clean down of first lien facilities.

Second lien Debt will comprise of second lien facilities and second lien notes, which mature in March 2022 and carry euribor + 3,25% and 7% (fixed) respectively.

The second lien facilities are subject to financial covenants as per the first lien facilities while the second lien debt is in line with Existing Notes with additional restrictions.

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 a share option program with beneficiaries the Company's BoD executive members and employees and is analyzed in Note 15 of the financial statements.

The Company has created tax free reserves, taking advances of various Hellenic Taxation laws, during the years, in order to achieve tax deductions, either

a) by postponing the tax liability till the reserves are distributed to the shareholders, or

b) by eliminating any future income tax payment by issuing new shares for the shareholders of the company.

Should the reserves be distributed to the shareholders as dividends, the distributed profits will be taxed with the rate that will be in effect at the time of the profits distributions.

No provision has been created in regard to the possible income tax liability in the case of such a future distribution of the reserves to the shareholders of the company as such liabilities are recognized simultaneously with the dividends distribution.

Note 21 - Earnings per share

Basic & Diluted earnings per share

Basic and Diluted 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 diluted earnings per share are calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options. For the share options a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The difference is added to the denominator as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration. No adjustment is made to net profit (numerator).

Note 22 - Contingent liabilities

The Parent company has contingent liabilities in respect of bank guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries arising from the ordinary course of business as follows:

The Parent Company's bank guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries were:

Consolidated Parent Company
31.03.2017 31.12.2016 31.03.2017 31.12.2016
Guarantees 47.320 11.429 386.461 406.294

As shown in Note 13 the issue of the Notes and the revolving credit facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis.

The parent company has given warranties for financial support of certain subsidiaries.

The tax returns for the Parent Company and for the Group subsidiaries have not been assessed by the tax authorities for different periods (see Note 18). In addition the Group's subsidiaries receive additional claims from various tax authorities from time to time, which Management assesses and takes legal action as required. The management of the Group believes that no significant additional taxes other than those recognized in the financial statements will be assessed.

Finally, the Group has significant litigations relating to compensation for land on which the factory of some subsidiaries is situated. Management believes that that the probability to pay that compensation for the land is remote and even if the subsidiaries pay those compensations requested, the relevant amounts will be capitalised.

The remaining pending litigations, legal proceedings, or claims are not likely to affect significantly the financial statements or the operations of the Group and the Parent company.

As shown above the Group's operations exhibit seasonality and therefore interim period sales should not be used for forecasting annual sales. Consequently the level of the working capital required for certain months of the year may vary.

Note 24 - Post balance sheet events

On 12.04.2017 Frigoglass S.A.I.C. ("Frigoglass" or the "Company" and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group") has entered into a legally binding agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement") on the key terms of a restructuring of its indebtedness (the "Restructuring") with an ad-hoc committee (the "Ad-Hoc Committee") representing holders of approximately 39% of the 8.25% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Senior Notes") issued by the Company's subsidiary Frigoglass Finance B.V., Frigoglass's core lending banks (Citibank, HSBC, Alpha Bank and Eurobank (collectively, the "Core Banks")) and its major shareholder, Boval S.A. ("Boval"). The Restructuring takes into account the interests of all stakeholders and is expected to provide the Group with a significantly strengthened capital structure to allow it to retain its market position in the currently challenging market environment.

The Lock-Up Agreement includes standard transfer restrictions in relation to exposures as at the date of previous announcements ( during 2017 ) and standard automatic and voluntary termination provisions for transactions of this nature (including, without limitation, failure to comply with certain milestones in connection with the Restructuring or the occurrence of a material adverse change in relation to the Group).

The key transaction highlights relate to significant deleveraging, improved liquidity, reduced interest cost, significant extension of maturity profile.

The Restructuring transactions are inter-conditional and remain subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to the approvals of: the requisite majorities of outstanding Senior Notes, approval of the relevant courts for the UK Scheme and approval of the General Meeting of the Company and Greek authorities with respect to the issuance of the new shares.

Additional details are documented in Note 13

There are no other post-balance events which are likely to affect the financial statements or the operations of the Group and the Parent company apart from the ones mentioned above.
