The past year of 2021 was one of resilience, due to the ability to outdo ourselves and recover from adversity. Our expectations regarding the results of the Covid-19 pandemic were of uncertainty, and these were borne out during the year.
For starters, the restaurant sector had to undergo even more restrictions during the first semester than it had at the beginning of the pandemic. Comparing the lockdowns of the first semesters of 2020 and of 2021 one can see that the latter lasted longer and that when it ended, in June, new restrictions were introduced that lasted until after the semester was over.
During the second semester, when vaccination levels in the Iberian Peninsula were very high, restrictions on movement and on retail opening hours were partly lifted, so that the summer holiday season was relatively normal for most residents, although tourism suffered substantially. The group had to adapt to the circumstances, and benefited from a rise in consumer optimism that permitted a higher rate of recovery of the activity.
It was in this atmosphere of slow, but steady recovery that Ibersol carved out a path of dynamic resilience. First, the group recovered its street and shopping centre restaurants business, and then its travel segment, although the latter was slower, given restrictions on mobility due to the pandemic.
During this recovery process Ibersol maintained and increased its social sustainability profile as a large job creating group, marked by social cohesion. In that sense it managed to protect jobs in Portugal and in Spain, through a combined strategy of making use of the state support mechanisms at its disposal, and a consistent policy of opening new restaurants of different Group brands, namely Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut units.
One should highlight the fact that although the policy of refurbishing and openings was affected, it never stopped and can even be described as very energetic. Ibersol added six new KFC restaurants to its portfolio, which were opened over the year, plus seven new Taco Bell units. I would also point to the good performance registered by Pizza Hut, which reacted brilliantly to the challenges of the pandemic, both in terms of delivery, and in-house, having even opened five new units. The Ibersol Group showed itself to be the driving engine of the growing presence of Burger King in Portugal. In 2021 it opened 12 new Burger King restaurants and closed the year with a total of 119 group operated units in Portugal, out of a total 150 in Portugal.
To support the challenges resulting from the impact of the second year of the pandemic and, also, to strengthen itself for the required investments, the group underwent a share capital increase, aimed at shareholders, which endowed it with the necessary means to carry out the strategic guidelines and, especially, to keep up the normal rate of investment and expansion and, thereby, sustain and increase business market share. This operation was successful and showcases the trust felt by shareholders with total demand standing at around 146% of supply. This resulted in a net financial increase of 40 million euros.
2021 was also a year in which the group's environmental sustainability policies stood out, and there I would like to point to the partnerships that allowed us to make use of 170 electrical motorcycles for the delivery services of the Burger King and Pizza Hut brands. The Group estimates that it achieved a reduction of over 500 thousand kilos of CO2 emissions, and 400 thousand litres of fuel spent annually through the use of these electrical vehicles in delivery services.
In environmental terms, the Ibersol Group continued to intensify best practices policies in resource and residue management practices, as well as in separating and reusing generated residues, investing in renewable energies with a strong reduction of energy consumption and the subsequent impact in the decrease of CO2 emissions, preventing the emission of 10 thousand tonnes. To this end, the Group restructured the teams, the energy consumed, supplies, products, waste and, above all, it internalised a high concern with process changes and forms of operation which translates into an active adoption of sustainability and a circular economy.
Ibersol expects 2022 to be a year of great challenges, both due to the effects of the pandemic on consumer behaviour and their confidence, and due to geopolitical tension and its global economic impacts. These is why we have a determined outlook on the future, viewing the circumstances and subsequent readjustment from a strategic and tactical perspective.
2022 will be a very challenging year, with very high levels of uncertainty. Once again, we have the strength, determination and means to demonstrate our resilience, which is why we are counting on the support and dedication of all those who have demonstrated their recognition and preference for our Group. This includes all our stakeholders, customers, staff, partners, suppliers, investors, and civil society.
According to figures from the European Central Bank, the world economy recovered significantly during 2021, although the persistence of bottlenecks on the side of supply, rising prices of raw materials, and the appearance of the Omicron strain of Covid-19 in the fourth quarter weighed down growth forecasts.
At the beginning of 2022 the economic recovery of the eurozone was boosted by the fading of the impact of the Omicron strain of the coronavirus (Covid-19). Supply bottlenecks showed some signs of letting up and improvement of the labour market accelerated. Inflation continued surprisingly high, rising to 5.8% in February, reflecting the transmission of the higher prices of raw material and pressure on production costs because of disturbances to global supply chains.
This scenario of sustained recovery was strongly shaken by the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is expected to have a relevant impact on economic activity and on inflation due to rising prices of energy products and raw material, global trade disturbances and a drop in the confidence of economic agents. The scope of these effects will depend on how the conflict evolves, the impact of current sanctions and subsequent measures that might be implemented.
Following an historic drop in GDP in 2020 (-8.4%), in 2021 the Portuguese economy continued the recovery trajectory that it had begun in the third quarter of 2020, drawing close to prepandemic levels. Recent figures from the Bank of Portugal point to a 4.9% increase of GDP in 2021, with forecasts for similar growth in 2022 and a reduction in the following years (2.9% in 2023 and 2.0% in 2024), a downward revision, due to the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
After a chain reduction in the first quarter of 2021, GDP more than recovered in the second, and continued to grow in the following quarters, although at a lower rate, reflecting the fact that the pandemic was under control, as well as advances in vaccination coverage. The expansion of economic activity translated into increased job rates and a reduction of unemployment.
Inflation increased to 0.9% in 2021 (-0.1% in 2020), with a forecast of significant growth in 2022 (4%) and a drop to 1.6% in 2023 and 2024. The rise in inflation in 2022 is linked to increases in prices of raw materials, in the fields of energy, and persistent constraints on global supply chains.
The forecasted economic activity will benefit from greater influx of European Union funds and prolonged favourable financial conditions, even though the market is expecting a gradual increase in interest rates. In June, 2021, the European Commission approved Portugal's Resilience and Recovery Plan, a temporary recovery tool worth over 800 billion euros and aimed at helping repair the economic and social damage caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, to make post-Covid-19 Europe greener, more digital, more resilient, and better prepared for current and future challenges.
Recent figures from the Bank of Spain indicate that the Spanish economy contracted more sharply than the main eurozone economies in the first semester of 2020 and, since then, it has also proved slower at recovering. Among the demand components that help to explain this more negative relative performance, private consumption and, above all, tourism exports, which in the case of the Spanish economy has seen comparatively slower recovery, stand out.
The Spanish GDP growth rate reached 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021, 0.4 percentage points lower than the previous quarter. The epidemiological situation, marked by a peak of infections due to the expansion of the Omicron strain of Covid-19, conditioned the evolution of activity in the last few months of last year, although less intensely than with previous waves of infection. Therefore, the growth of GDP in the fourth quarter benefited both from net external demand – although to a lesser degree than the previous quarter – and from internal demand.
The more recent macroeconomic framework points to an average GDP growth rate of 4.5% in 2022. Over the next two years forecasts predict that activity will continue to be very dynamic, which will lead to 2.9% and 2.5% growth of the Spanish economy in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In this scenario, recovery to pre-pandemic levels should occur in the third quarter of 2023.
Recent IMF figures indicate that the economic impact of the pandemic in 2021 – in the internal market and in commodity imports – began to diminish. Higher oil prices and the relaxation of more disruptive internal containment measures strengthened Angola's financial situation and supported the recovery of the non-oil sector. Although the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases reached a new high in October, infection rates fell rapidly with tailored restrictions and the acceleration of the vaccination process.
In the first half of 2021 the growth of non-oil GDP accelerated to 5.7%, whereas oil production contracted by 15.5%. The agricultural sector proved resilient to the severe drought of the beginning of the year, accompanied by strong growth of the fishing sector. Trade recovered above pre-pandemic levels, although the construction sector has been recovering more slowly.
Inflation reached 26.6% in September, year-on-year, boosted by factors on the side of supply, with monthly inflation still increasing. Inflation began to rise in early 2020, with the sharp devaluation of the Kwanza during the year. Following the stabilisation of the Kwanza, in 2021, pressure on the side of supply kept inflation high, mostly because of the price of food products, which, in turn, was pressured by the increase in import prices, disruptions of supply, and transport restrictions, worsened by pandemic-related restrictions.
Angolan authorities continued to be firmly committed to their agenda of economic reform. Beginning with the National Development Plan, showed a strong commitment to difficult, yet critical reforms, including fiscal consolidation with the implementation of VAT to fluctuating interest rates, and took some bold steps, despite the challenging environment of the Covid-19 pandemic, to achieve sustainable, inclusive, and diversified growth.
At the end of 2021 the Kwanza increased 20% in value compared to the main currencies, a trend which has carried into 2022.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February led to a deterioration of global economy growth forecasts in the short run, and greater inflationist pressures. The conflict also caused a sudden rise in oil and gas prices in the international markets, which reflects the importance of Russia in the supply of these raw materials. It also meant increased uncertainty and geopolitical risk, with negative effects on financial markets and agents' confidence. The conflict could cause new disruptions to global supply chains, especially those that depend on Russian produced raw materials, or regional transport of goods. The recent surge in Covid-19 cases in some Asian economies and the imposition of restrictions could aggravate these disruptions.
Despite an overall improvement, 2021 was marked by the spread of new strains of Covid-19 which led to new waves of infection that affected our activity, especially in the first semester, conditioning operations and delaying the full recovery of tourism.
In this context we witnessed a new lockdown period, with all the restrictions this entails, and the Ibersol Group was only able to begin to reopen its restaurants, gradually, from 19 April onward, although these were subjected to limitations and restrictions. Later, during the third quarter, the pandemic situation improved substantially due to the rise in the rate of vaccinations. The Group also contributed to this, supporting the Board of Health in its campaigns to call attention to the importance of vaccination in fighting the pandemic.
From the summer onwards we saw lifting of restrictions on movement and retail occupancy rates and opening hours, which gave residents an increased feeling of normality, allowed for the beginning of the recovery of tourism, an increase in consumer trust levels and a higher rate of recovery of activity.
In this challenging and atypical context, the Ibersol Group maintained the course set the previous year, reacting and responding to challenges and keeping up its refurbishing and remodelling plan.
The year of 2021 was also marked by a strong commitment of the Ibersol Group to the concept of a circular economy and environmental sustainability. In this regard one should highlight the measures which allowed for the effective reduction of 62 tonnes of plastic, through the elimination of some containers and their components, as well as the replacement of natural fibres for plastic in packaging and bags, food containers, drinking and ice-cream cups, lids and dishes.
In October 2021 Spain passed Law 13/2021, which had a very important impact on rent contracts for restaurant and retail trade establishments located in airports run by AENA. According to this law, and traffic estimates reviewed according to Eurocontrol forecasts, the minimum guaranteed value of rent due for the durations of contracts was estimated downward by about 59 million euros [CONFIRMAR EN].
In order to allow for comparisons with other companies from this sector, and with previous financial years, the group uses operational performance indicators, as mentioned throughout this section, whose definitions can be found in the glossary.
The year was marked by continued uncertainty regarding the pandemic, but also the softening of restrictions on mobility, due to the effects of the vaccination programme in Europe, which allowed for significant recovery of activity, especially in the second half of the year.
Consolidated business volume totalled 357.3 million euros by the end of the year, compared to 288.9 million euros in 2020, which represents 23.7% growth.
| Turnover (euro million) | 2021 | 2020 | Var. 21/20 | 2019 | Var 21/19 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sales of Restaurants | 348,6 | 281,9 | 23,7% | 469.5 | -25.8% |
| Sales of Merchandise | 7.2 | 5.8 | 23.8% | 12.3 | -41.8% |

The gradual reopening of most restaurants during the second half of the year – despite some restrictions – meant that by the end of the year Ibersol had most of its self-owned restaurants operational. At the end of December, only 5 restaurants, located in Spanish airports, were still closed.

The evolution of monthly sales since 2019 shows the effect of the restrictions that were imposed since the beginning of the pandemic in the different countries in which we operate,

as well as the periods during which these were relaxed. Activity clearly picked up due to improvements in demand and the adaptation of the businesses to the current situation.
The fourth quarter of 2021 was marked by the fifth wave of infections, brought on by a new and more infectious strain, which led to the lockdown of a significant percentage of populations due to increases in the number of infected people.
This fact led to a slowing of the recovery that had become noticeable since the end of the summer, October having shown the best relative performance, with Portugal surpassing sales of 2019 and Spain reducing losses to 25%, directly related to the positive evolution of traffic at airports, especially in more tourism-dependent locations and a smaller number of restaurants with drive-thru services.
Sales in Angolan restaurants reflect the evolution of the local currency – which does not take into account the impact of currency exchange – and continue to be the least affected by the effects of the pandemic.
The evolution of sales by segment illustrates the different impacts of the various waves and restrictions in place over the past two years, as compared to the same period of 2019.

Despite still being the most badly affected, the concessions and catering segment showed significant recovery in the second half of the year due to lifting of air-traffic restrictions and limitations, which had been imposed in November due to the irruption of the new strain.
In Spain, where the group owns restaurants in nine airports, traffic fell in the fourth quarter by 32% (46% in the third), when compared to 2019. The airports in the Canaries and Baleares islands were less badly affected than those on the mainland. In Portugal, losses in the airports where the group in present amounted to 30% in the fourth quarter (45% in the third), which reflects the recovery of passenger confidence levels as well as the intention to recover habits and behaviours that were interrupted by the pandemic.

2021 | 2020 | Var. 21/20 | 2019 | Var 21/19 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurants | 73.1 | 67.2 | 8.9% | 109.7 | -33.3% |

| Total Sales | 348.6 | 281.9 | 23.7% | 469.5 | -25.8% |
The recovery of table service restaurants that had been occurring since the summer was also interrupted in November, this segment having closed the year with a growth of 8.9% in relation to 2020 and 33.3% below 2019, having suffered from limitations to occupancy rates and reduced opening hours that were gradually eliminated as vaccination progressed and infection rates decreased by region.
The counter segment showed greater resilience to restrictions aimed at fighting the pandemic, having registered fewer losses when compared to the same period of the previous year and higher recovery rates. Three factors contributed to this:
Delivery sales, which partially made up for restrictions on restaurant and counter operations during the lockdowns, tend to decrease with a gradual return to normality, but nonetheless represented around 25% of sales in the last quarter – excluding concessions and catering sales – and ended the year six percentage points above the first quarter of 2020, before the effects of the pandemic began to be felt.
As with delivery, the drive-thru channel saw an increase in demand during the lockdown periods, and became part of our customer's routines, which led to its increase in relative importance. At the end of 2021 it represented 13% of retail losses, compared to 9% in the first quarter of 2020.

Despite the decrease in recovery due to higher transmission levels of the Omicron strain, sales in the fourth quarter point to a recovery to pre-pandemic figures during 2022.

In compliance with the strategy to expand brands that showed higher resilience during the pandemic, the group opened 30 new restaurants in 2021 (24 in the fourth quarter, in addition to the six opened in the first nine months of the year).
In this period 11 new BK, six KFC, five Taco Bell, and two PH were opened in Portugal.

In the same period 32 units were closed, 15 of which franchises, in Spain.
The closing of 17 self-owned restaurants is explained by the option not to renew leases of four restaurants, the conversion of two Pasta Caffé units to Taco Bell, and the end of concession contracts in the Madrid, Bilbao, and Fuerteventura airports, as well as the service station on the A8.
At the end of the year, we operated 544 self-owned units, 382 of which in Portugal, 152 in Spain, and 10 in Angola, as well as 77 restaurants of our own brands operated by third parties as franchises.
In Spain, on October 2 nd 2021, the Ley 13/2021 of October was published, which provides for new rules applicable to the lease contracts of commercial establishments for catering and retail activities located in airports managed by AENA and whose application has a strong impact on the 2021 Financial Statements.
The law determines that:
As a result of the application of the Law, AENA was able to determine the amounts of rent payable for the years 2020 and 2021 (43.3 million euros lower than the contractual rents), with future rents depending on the traffic that may occur. Thus, with the rents being variable until the 2019 traffic is reached again, such rents are no longer applicable for the purposes of applying IFRS16, which determined the derecognition of all lease assets and liabilities at airports managed by AENA on the date entry into force of the new law (1 October 2021).
In terms of the financial position, the application of the law results in a relevant decrease in liabilities and assets, since the lease contributions associated with the contracts with AENA are now recognized as rent expenses since October 1 st of 2021.
The impact of the application of the new Ley 13/2021, on October 1 st of 2021, on the consolidated results is an operating income of 61.4 million euros resulting from:
Additionally, in the fourth quarter, the amount of 5.4 million euros was considered in external supplies and services, referring to rents payable under the new law for the period from October to December 2021.
Also as a result of the new rules to be applied to rents and the respective accounting treatment of liabilities, Ibersol group carried out a review of the business plans of the concessions in Spain, with the most recent traffic forecast from Eurocontrol – much lower than the projections that determined the investment-, which provides for a recovery in 2024 of 2019 traffic with the following impacts on the financial statements:
To allow an annualized perspective of the impact of the law on the consolidated annual income statement, if the derecognition took place since January 1, 2021, it would result in an Ebitda of 64.5 million euros.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is necessary to take into account events after the end of the financial year mentioned in point 14.3 of this report ("Auto nº 68/2022" issued on March 4, 2022 by the court "Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona, Sección 4ª").
In a year that was still heavily affected by the pandemic, during which there were several restrictions on mobility and the normal operation of restaurants, the ability shown by the group's different businesses to adapt, the support received according to employment protection plans and normalisation incentives, and the impact of the application of Ley 13/2021 on Spanish concession contracts, allowed for a recovery of around 103.5 million euros in operational results, compared to 2020.

The gross margin was 75.3% of turnover, 0.8 p.p. above the previous year (2020: 74.5%), demonstrating, on one hand, the effect of a reduction in losses of perishable raw material in 2020, following an abrupt interruption of restaurant activity and, on the other, the recovery of operations of less aggressive promotional concepts, and thereby with higher margins.
Costs with personnel increased 6.4%, this item having decreased during the financial year of 2021 to 31.7% of turnover (2020: 36,9%).
During this year, and in order to reconcile reduced activity with job protection, the group's companies signed on to the ERTE and simplified Lay Off in Spain and in Portugal, and to the "Apoio à Retoma Progressiva" programme, which resulted in a reduction of costs with personnel of 9.0 million euros.
In Spain, at the end of December, the group had 10% of its workforce on "ERTE due to force majeure by Covid", mostly in restaurants located in airports, whose recovery pace was most seriously affected by mobility restrictions.
On the other hand, due to the consequences of the impact of the pandemic on the group activity in Spain, an ERE (Employment Regulation Scheme) was applied, within the scope of the business structure support rationalisation programme, which led to the payment of around 1 million euros in compensations to staff.
External Supply and Service costs increased by 29.2%, and now represent 25.2% of turnover for 2021, which is equivalent to a 1.1 p.p. increase in the relative weight of this item compared to the 24.1% of 2020.
The recognition of 5.4 million euros in rents in the Spanish airports in the fourth quarter, contributed to this increase, due to the derecognition of contracts within the scope of IFRS16 since 1 st October, as mentioned above.
During the year the group negotiated contracts for the provision of services of a more fixed nature, which allowed for the mitigation of some of the losses caused by the closure of restaurants in the first semester. In the second semester fixed costs tended to return to normal, which when added to the high rates of delivery sales and airport leases from October onwards, led to an increase in the relative weight of this item.
On the other hand, due to the application of the "Amendments to IFRS 16" (processing of previously agreed benefits to the leases), 4.6 million euros of lease discounts have been deducted, due to agreements with lessors celebrated before 31 December and the reduction of minimum rents in Portuguese shopping centres due to the application of "Lei n.4-A/2021" in the period between January and June 2021.
Other income and operational costs amounting to 70.2 million euros represent an increase of 65.6 million compared to the 2020 financial year, mostly explained by the impact of "Ley 13/2021" and Covid-19 pandemic-related government support mechanisms during the period:
recording of a provision for onerous contracts, at the Gran Canária airport, in the amount of 1.6 million euros.
Other operational costs also include around 0.9 million euros in fees and taxes.
Amortisations, depreciations and imparity losses for the financial year totalled 83.7 million euros, 49.1 million of which are related to amortisation of rights of use, which translates into a reduction of 11.3 million euros, compared to the financial year of 2020.
Imparity losses due to the effects of the pandemic on the restaurant sector and, in particular, in locations that are more dependent on the recovery of tourism, namely concessions, resulted in the maintenance of the application of distinct risks for the determination of the fair value of tests carried out, depending on the areas of business, with losses in asset recoverability recorded at 6.3 million euros:
The forecasts for air-traffic recovery in Europe have been met in recent months, but remain unpredictable, given the impact of the war in Ukraine on the Iberian market. The group adjusted forecasts in the Travel sector to those of airspace regulators, which point to a recovery of 2019 level traffic in 2024 and the consequent adjustment in the minimum guaranteed annual contract rents until this date and under the terms of Ley 13/2021.
EBITDA for the period rose to 135.9 million euros, which represents an increase of 92.3 million euros compared to 2020.
The total EBITDA margin was 38.0% of turnover, compared to 15.1% in 2020.

The net financial result was negative by 16.9 million euros, 2.7 million euros less than the loss recorded in 2020.
Financial gains and losses totalled 17.6 million euros which translates into a drop of 3.8 million euros compared to the 2020 (2.0 million of which are the result of the derecognition of lease contracts with AENA since October 1 st , which, as such, meant the non-recording of rental interest for the last quarter of 2021). Part of these expenses and losses are due to interest rates from leases valued at 13.4 million euros (16.8 million euros in 2020).
Net interest supported by loans, and commissions related to financing reached a total of 3.2 million euros, which equals an average debt cost of 1.9%. The descending trajectory of the average financing cost is due to the evolution of interest rates in Portugal.
Results before income tax amounted to 35.6 million euros, which represents an increase of 105.7 million euros compared to 2020.
The value of current taxes is 0.5 million euros and deferred taxes are positive by about 3.4 million euros.
Due to the recovery of activity, the recognition of rent liabilities not payable until September 2021 and the difference between the lease liability and rights of use of the lease in the Spanish airports as income, the consolidated net results for the financial year stood at 31.3 million euros, compared to the -55.3 million euros recorded in 2020.
Consolidated Financial Position
Consolidated Assets stood at 632,4 million euros as of 31 December 2021, which represents a reduction of 96.4 million euros compared to 728.7 million euros at the end of 2020, the main transactions being:

The reduction in lease liabilities associated with the derecognition of concession contracts at airports in Spain due to the application of Ley 13/2021 was 195.2 million euros.
Current liabilities stand at 136 million euros, of which 21.6 million euros are in relation to Lease Liabilities and 26.6 million euros to Current Loans. As at 31 December, the Group had 38 million euros related to commercial paper and credit lines contracted but not used.

Following a year marked by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2021 the Group showed its capacity to deal with government-imposed restrictions, and to take the most appropriate measures to guarantee the recovery of activity, despite new waves of infection.
The adaptation of the group's business portfolio to new channels and sales formats, as well as the dedication of its teams, are proof of a learning process that built up resilience in a sector that has been severely penalised by successive waves and restrictions.
Therefore, the group followed along its plan to expand on brands that, since the beginning of the pandemic, have shown greater resilience to the crisis, namely BK, KFC, and PH, by opening more restaurants with Drive-Thru, Take-Away, and Delivery, in new locations, as well as going ahead with the opening of Taco Bell restaurants, to maintain and increase the market share of these businesses.
At the end of the financial year, the total number of Ibersol group units – self-owned and franchises – was of 621 restaurants, 271 of which of our own brands.

Consumers are increasingly demanding in relation to the experiences that brands provide. Which is why we make sure that all our brands have a varied offer, providing consumers with different experiences in terms of quality and flavour. From breakfast to lunch, day in, day out, whatever the meal, whatever the occasion, we provide our customers with well-being and a balanced diet.
Through our "Viva Bem" (Live Well) programme (website and blog), we try to interact responsibly with the customer, providing information on the nutritional composition of Ibersol's products, on allergens and on how to enjoy a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Customers are the Ibersol Group's raison d'être, and so they are given full attention.
We try to satisfy our customers' expectations, predicting trends, addressing needs, and presenting them with increasingly solid value proposals.
The Ibersol Group is one of the most important employers in its sector, in the markets in which it operates. In this sense, it considers that its mission is the constant development and valuing of its Staff, through the proposal and implementation of a strategy that promotes the attraction of better skills, their training and continuous development.
With an eye on market trends, the Ibersol Group has increasingly invested in the digitalisation of its Staff management processes, especially regarding their training and development. Therefore, e-learning methods have been gaining ground, and this is the path we will continue to follow over the coming years.
The Ibersol Group has an organised supply chain which ensures the quality of the products it sells, from supply to sale, including logistics, all the way to the final consumer.
This is a single, homogeneous body, which works efficiently every day through an active quality and certification policy, including NP EN ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems and the NP EN ISO 22000: Food Safety Management Systems standard certificate, covering the management of the food chain of the Group's restaurant operations, based on the activities carried out in the various markets in which it is present.
The centralisation of the supply chain in Portugal, Spain, and Angola, allows for gains in efficiency and productivity both in terms of the processes themselves, and in the relationship with business partners.
One of the group's principles is not to sacrifice quality for the sake of price, ever. As such, through continuous improvements to the processes for managing resources and assets, Ibersol aims to maintain lasting and consistent relations with its suppliers.
An active quality, safety, and certification policy allows the Ibersol Group to strengthen its position as a major player in the restaurant sector. Its discipline and thoroughness enable it to continue to carve a path of excellence, and accumulate certifications for the quality of its operations, customer service, and food safety, in Portugal, Spain, and Angola. The certifications confirm and highlight the engagement and dedication of its teams in everything they do.
In 2020 the Ibersol Group remained on this path of continuous improvement, in tune with the principles of the norms according to which it is already certified.
We would like to highlight the certification of IBERGOURMET – Produtos Alimentares S.A. (UCP Modivas), the group's Central Production Unit, according to the very demanding GFSI norm in food safety.
The following certifications were also renewed: NP EN ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management System; NP EN ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management System; NP EN ISO 45001:2018 – Work Health and Safety Management System 3 NP EN ISO 22000:2018 – Food Safety Management System.
The Ibersol Group aims to ensure the sustainable development of its business and is committed to respect for the environment and a constant search for solutions that help to diminish its environmental impact and to guarantee the protection of the planet.
In 2021 the Group continued to consolidate management policy and practices that contribute to the reduction of its environmental footprint, namely at the level of resource preservation; promotion of a circular economy; use of used food oil waste for biodiesel production; sustainable procedures and relationships with the Customer and the Supply Chain.
These concerns are reflected in the renovation, in 2021, of certification according to Norm NP EN ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems, which speaks to the commitment of the whole structure to strengthening its environmental performance in terms of managing the impact of its activity, namely through the optimisation of natural resource use, environmental protection and carbon footprint reduction.

The Ibersol Group's business context is, by its very nature, highly volatile and constantly exposed to challenges, transformations, and changes, that set a fast-paced management standard. With the spread of new strains of Covid-19, and new waves of infection, 2021 was an atypical and highly conditioned year.
The ability to foresee risks systemically and in relation to all business areas allowed the group to define strategies and take steps, since the "pre-European pandemic" phase, aimed at mitigating the impact of adverse situations resulting from the pandemic and its management measures, while seeking to continue to create an environment given to sustainable and continuous improvements and the maximisation of available resources, within a context of extreme business restrictions.
Grupo Ibersol's risk management mechanisms, supported by internal norms and procedures and the available information – namely consolidated plans, goals, processes, procedures, and indicators in the realm of Finance-accounting, People Management, Quality, Purchases, Logistics and Marketing – allowed for a real-time evaluation of different risk scenarios and their evolution and, therefore, the re-evaluation and significant and continual adjustment of defined strategies and implemented plans, such as the Contingency Plan, Plans and Programmes, and Brand Budgets and the revision of processes and procedures.
The risks inherent to the different activities of the Ibersol Group have been identified. Considering their specificities, some areas are managed directly by the operational departments.
Part of the scope of the Quality Board is to ensure the existence of prevention and control measures in the different domains of the Ibersol group business, especially in the following areas:
The Work and Legal-Labour Management is charged with managing cases relating to workplace risks and promoting well-being in the workplace. The occurrence of work hazards or work-related illness is managed through the following programmes and measures:
Evaluation of work station risks and investigation of workplace hazards;
Because of the new Coronavirus pandemic, or SARS-COV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic, changes were made to the Contingency Plan in 2020, drawn up by a multidisciplinary team, as well as to all prevention procedures and measures defined in this regard and aimed at mitigating contagion risks by the biological agent in question.
In 2021 Ibersol continued to focus mostly on epidemiological control of the Coronavirus, the adoption of health protection measures for staff in the workplace and for customers and full compliance with Health Board guidelines. Regarding the latter, the Group organised several training, information, and awareness sessions for workers.
The Ibersol Group's environmental risk management policy largely rests on the implementation and certification of management systems, such as the ISO 14001 norm, that ensure adequate control in terms of environmental protection, waste management and pollution prevention, always based on full compliance to all applicable legal and sectoral requirements, as well as the needs of all interested parties. The three fundamental areas that constitute relevant risks to Ibersol Group activity are taken into account in this assessment.
The phenomenon of climate change is systemic, and has led to a series of serious consequences in global food value chains. On one hand, the increase in average temperatures, due to greenhouse gas emissions is causing increasingly serious and frequent droughts, rising sea levels in coastal regions, significant loss of natural ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as varied disruptions to agricultural production and distribution in several markets. This instability leads to scarcity, price volatility, and disruptive events at the level of global supply chains. If, on one hand, the Ibersol Group is committed to doing its part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, on the other it keeps a close eye on the most affected commodities and constantly ponders the best supply strategies, both for itself and with its global and local partners, so as to guarantee the continuity of its activities.
The increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme natural phenomena, which are directly or indirectly linked to environmental and climate events, is one of Ibersol Group's major concerns, insofar as these events jeopardise personal safety and the integrity of installations and equipment, thereby threatening the continuity of activity. On one hand, it is important to mention that the Ibersol Group is committed to high standards of health and safety in the workplace (as determined by ISO 45001 certification), food quality and safety procedures (as determined by ISO 9001 and 22000), and strict observance of all rules and legal impositions in terms of physical safety and civil protection in its commercial establishments. On the other hand, after 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic demanded much more resilient and flexible management procedures, amongst which the significant increase of digital resources and, among these, digital sales channels, that allowed for a significant improvement of organisation in terms of crisis and business continuity management.
Ibersol's operations largely depend on the direct use of some natural and energy resources, namely the consumption of water, electricity, and natural gas. Faced with the real possibility of extreme drought in some of the group's activity zones, the volatility of prices in the main electrical energy markets and current uncertainty regarding natural gas supply sources in Europe, the Ibersol Group is keeping a watchful eye on the impact that these circumstances can have on its operation and its operational results, keeping internal policy and specific initiatives geared towards an increasingly efficient use of the same. It is worth mentioning that the Ibersol Group respects several norms (ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, ISO 9001) in terms of all the edible and non-edible raw materials that are used in its products, as well as best practices of storage, manipulation, and distribution, maintaining robust monitoring, segregation, and tracking processes, that help to minimise food safety and reputational risks. On the other hand, there is an increasing and horizontal concern with the promotion of the separation and recycling of waste, minimising the risk of safety, health, and pollution incidents, and strictly following all official regulatory and operational norms, diminishing the possibility of incidents, penalties, and respective reputational impacts.

The Ibersol Group operates in a sector that is heavily exposed to national and international legislation, international best practices and normative demands, as well as close and constant scrutiny by a large number of interested parties, including all sectoral, professional and labour/union associations, besides that of individual consumers. In this context, the Ibersol Group established a series of resources, partnerships, and compliance verification routines that allow it whenever necessary, to access all the current legal and normative legislation that applies to its business, namely in terms of food safety, food and non-food products, restaurant operations, consumers, labour and social issues, energy and natural resources, environment and climate change. In particular, the group has a structure dedicated to the close accompaniment of all labour-legal aspects in the markets in which it operates, and has contracted engineering and maintenance services that accompanies all the regulation issues that impact the valuing and depreciation of its real estate and equipment.
Management of financial risk is conducted by the Financial Department, based on Board approved policy. The treasury identifies, evaluates and carries out financial risk coverage in close cooperation with the Group's operational units. The Board provides risk management principles for risk management as a whole, and policies that cover specific areas, such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and excess liquidity investment.
The Ibersol Group follows a policy of natural coverage in this issue, resorting to funding in local currency. Since it is mostly present in the Iberian market, bank loans are generally in euros and the purchase volume outside of the Eurozone does not take on relevant proportions.
The main source of exposure comes from investment outside of the Eurozone, related to operations in Angola, which are small and of decreasing importance in the Group's activity. Economic imbalances in Angola have led to a scarcity of foreign currency in the country, which makes the devaluation of the Kwanza a risk to consider.
Loans contracted by Angolan branches are expressed in local currency, the same in which income is generated. Considering current limits on foreign payments, the Group adopted a policy of monthly monitoring of credit balances in foreign currency and their full coverage with the acquisition of Treasury Bonds from the Republic of Angola, which are pegged to the USD.
With the exception of Angolan State Treasury Bonds, the Ibersol Group does not have remunerated assets with significant interest. Therefore, investment activity profits and cashflow are substantially independent from fluctuations of market interest rates. Regarding the Angolan State Treasury Bonds, pegged to the American Dollar, interest rates are fixed, so there is no risk there either.
The main interest rate risk for the Ibersol Group is in its liabilities, namely long-term loans. Loans issued with variable rates expose the Group to cashflow risks associated to the interest rate. Loans issued with fixed rates expose the group to the fair value risk associated to the interest rate.
With the current interest rate level, the Group's policy is, for higher maturity loans, to fix interest rates up to 30% of the debt.
The Ibersol Group's main activity is paid for in cash, or credit, or debit cards, so there are no relevant concentrations of credit risk. In home delivery sales, through Aggregators, it is these who charge clients and transfer money according to weekly summaries, within one or two weeks.
Regarding clients, the risk is limited to the Catering and Franchise businesses, which represent around 3.8% of consolidated business volume. The Group has taken to monitoring payments due more regularly, with the aim of:
Management of liquidity risk entails keeping a sufficient value in cash and bank deposits, the viability of consolidating the floating debt through an adequate amount of credit facilities, and the ability to liquidate market positions. Management of treasury needs is carried out based on annual planning, which is reviewed quarterly and adjusted daily. In line with underlying business dynamics, the Ibersol Group has been conducting a flexible management of the commercial paper and negotiation of readily available credit lines.
The Ibersol Group seeks to maintain a level of own capital adequate to the characteristics of its main business (cash sales and suppliers' credit), and to ensure continuity and expansion. Balance of the capital structure is monitored based on the financial leverage ratio (defined as: net remunerated debt/net remunerated debt + own capital), with the goal of fixing it in the 50% - 75% bracket.
In terms of strategic planning, existing business portfolio risks are evaluated and identified, new businesses and more relevant projects are evaluated, and the management strategies of those risks are defined. In operational terms the management risks of the goals of each business are identified and evaluated, and steps to manage them are planned, which are then included and monitored within the scope of the businesses and the working units.
When exploring different international brands through franchise, the Group celebrates longterm contracts that have been renewed, even though there is no obligation to do so. In particular, there is no guarantee that restaurants in airport concessions, which are attributed through tenders for a certain period, will have their leases renewed when these expire. With the aim of keeping up partnership and continuity relations with franchisers, the Ibersol Group invests in good relationships, based on transparency and mutual trust, and seeks to thoroughly fulfil all its contractual obligations and defined standards, with a view to operational excellence.
The Group's businesses can be negatively affected by periods of economic recession, especially through the deterioration of family consumption levels that, in turn, are influenced, among others, by current salary policies, unemployment levels, available credit and interest rates, as well as confidence levels and social security measures. The Ibersol Group's strategy has included, and will continue to include, products and services that, due to their type and price level, are accessible to society at large. Therefore, the group maintains a dynamic posture that, in tandem with the represented brands, and faced with adverse social and economic circumstances, can lead to adjustments in product portfolios and services provided to the market, so as to ensure a level of activity and sustainable profitability.
An eventual inability on the part of the Group to adequately read consumer preferences or client's needs, to adapt to behaviour changes, or to create or implement innovative and attractive concepts and offers in a timely and profitable way, can have a negative effect on its Operational Results, financial situation and outlook. From the point of view of competition, the Group's ability to develop and provide higher value products in competitive conditions is critical, in the current context of the restaurant sector. These developments all depend on the evolution of behaviour, that the Group can find difficult to predict and follow.
In the same way, Group operations, especially in the concessions & catering segment, depend on international and regional travel, that can be negatively affected by periods of economic recession, as well as by local or global events or trends, including pandemics, growing digitalisation, remote working and weather conditions.
Finally, the food sector is always exposed to epidemics, supply market distortions, availability of human resources and their possible impact on the fulfilment of contracts and on financial reports.
The success and reputation of the Ibersol Group is closely linked to the success and reputation of the international brands that it represents and develops in the markets in which it works, and that make up a large part of the group's activity. Through its commitment to respecting international contracts and operational norms that, for starters, ensure the supply of products and services that conform to the brands' standards, Ibersol acquires a set of opportunities and benefits, but also several challenges and responsibilities related to the communication and image management of said brands, with all the positive or not so positive aspects that this can entail. In this regard, besides the natural operational and strategic accompaniment of the business and frequent interactions with partners, the Ibersol Group keeps a close eye on markets, with constant monitoring of relevant national and international clippings and, in particular, the brands affected and their respective business groups, having established institutional communication procedures in the context of crisis management, namely with the CMVM and with investors.
Over the past two years the pandemic has had a particularly heavy impact on the restaurant sector in which the Ibersol group operates, and has caused deep consequences not only to business volume but, also, to consumption habits, the business model and the channels, resources and processes used to make the business operational.
In this context, when it comes to the management of human resources, the Ibersol Group is aware of the importance of developing and retaining talent, as well as the ability to attract new talent, at all functional and hierarchical levels of the organisation. Besides the monitoring of the organisational environment, the Ibersol Group constantly promotes initiatives to attract new workers, and to involve and encourage its staff, all the while ensuring a diverse, nondiscriminatory, transparent working atmosphere, where merit and excellence are rewarded. In any case, the Group is attentive to a series of market trends, especially new working models (remote and/or hybrid, 4-day weeks, etc.) that, as they gain popularity, can come to present new cultural and operational challenges and/or opportunities, that impact business quality, efficiency, and profitability.
IT and communication technologies used in the sales channels, supply channels and administration management, as well as other technologies that can contribute to business expansion and innovation (such as new interaction, product and service delivery methods) are an essential component for group activity development.
Any flaw in these systems can affect the performance of management and restaurant operation processes, generating costs and loss of revenue that can negatively impact profitability and the Group's financial situation.
Besides strict adherence to a set of technical rules, integration protocols and the safety standards defined by its business partners, the Ibersol Group is naturally watchful of legal and regulatory demands that apply to information safety (such as Data Protection), as well as a growing array of cyberthreats that organisations have been facing, mainly in a context of growing digital sales channels. In this sense, the group is committed to a proactive and diligent attitude at all times, to safeguard business information safety at the level of availability, integrity, and confidentiality, by implementing protection, detection and disaster recovery processes, in full coordination with crisis management and business continuity management systems.
The current geopolitical global context is unpredictable, due to a number of historical circumstances and recent social, cultural, and political events, along with climate change and other natural disasters, that create situations of heightened uncertainty and market volatility.
In particular, the Ibersol Group and its partners are focused on international markets and global food product commodities supply chains (rice, wheat, corn, oat, etc.), and the impact they could have on business operations and profitability.
It is also important to accompany rising energy and fossil fuel price trends (on which the world's economy still largely depends), that can have a very negative influence on all the world supply chains, leading to general rises in food goods prices in all markets, and which will necessarily come to bear on strategic options and business profitability in the restaurant sector.
Finally, the possibility of the development of armed conflicts in or around Europe cannot be ignored, and will have unpredictable, but surely devastating social and economic consequences for countries and businesses. In this framework, as with during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ibersol will continue to adopt a consistent and resilient posture, acting in strict compliance with the law and guidelines of the Portuguese state and respecting and protecting its stakeholders.
Created in 1958, Pizza Hut has been present in Portugal since 1990, enjoying a successful journey that began in 1990 with the inauguration of the first Pizza Hut restaurant in Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo, in Lisbon. The arrival of Pizza Hut in Portugal was the first time a major international brand of the modern restaurant persuasion began operating in our country and represented a new form of thinking the restaurant business, more modern, more welcoming and with higher standards of quality in operations, product, and training. The brand covers mainland Portugal and the islands, with 100 operational units.
During this year five new restaurants were opened: a unit specialised in deliveries was opened in Cacém, and the brand is now also operating in Charneca da Caparica, Brejos de Azeitão, Caldas da Rainha, and Lamego, providing eat-in services, take away, deliveries and support for aggregating platforms.
Pizza Hut was also affected by the pandemic, and was forced to temporarily close some of its services and restaurants. However, the "new normal" was established as quickly as possible, with a new and thorough safety plan called IN HUT WE TRUST, according to which Pizza Hut adopted new methods and routines to ensure the safety of customers and staff, while always paying close attention to the evolution of the situation and following all the recommendations of the Health Board.
The strengthening of safety measures can be seen in the approval of the SAFETY COVID by ALS inspection, a thorough international approval process that ensures maximum safety for employees and clients in the restaurants and throughout the whole operation.
Economic recovery permitted the brand to return to its marketing plan, with the motto GET THAT PIZZA, a fun and dynamic way of encouraging visitors back to the restaurants, focused on enhancing the value of the brand's core products, using a 360º approach. Special attention went to the TEX-MEX campaign, marked by Mexico-inspired flavours and ingredients, and to the return of the Pepperoni filled cheesy bites. The strengthening of the BOX concepts was also important, with the relaunching of the Triple Box and the My Box, as well as the launching of the 4Box and the Kid's Box. Finally, the Vegan/Veggie segment was also improved, especially through the launching of the VEGAN Pizza Rodízio. Throughout the year new trends took form, namely eating at home, which led to the 2X1, Triple Box campaigns, with a football related theme, 4x2 with a multiplatform presence and a hefty investment in the digital and mobile fields, and a strong television presence. During the summer months, Pizza Hut opened terraces in some of its most emblematic restaurants, from north to south of Portugal, and in the autonomous regions, thereby meeting the expectations of Portuguese families who were looking for outdoor meals.
Pizza Hut is committed to satisfying the needs of the modern consumer, which have grown stronger in the current context, and tirelessly works on the modernisation of its digital assets and the contactless aspect of its business, encouraging the use of electronic payment methods, access to digital menus and QR Code orders, and providing online order tracking services, and other digital features.
Pizza Hut customers can place their orders at restaurants, by phone, over the Pizza Hut website, the Mobile APP and through the television restaurant (@TV) available on the three major cable network operators. Besides this, the brand is also carried by Uber Eats, Glovo, and Bolt, which it uses both for its own and for third-party deliveries.
In 2021, Pizza Hut remained deeply committed to ensuring the full operation of its restaurants. This financial year was also marked by continuous investment in training processes and retention. In terms of training and certification of our staff, we kept up our commitment to our teams, in a constant effort to create a culture of excellence. This commitment is the result of constant skill-building of the teams (as is apparent from the investment in thousands of hours of training) and the encouragement of e-learning (aimed at operators, shift managers and unit managers), the implementation of several internal procedures aimed at responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and the strengthening of the ACE Programme (Assured Customer Experience – which promotes higher standards). Also noteworthy was the partnership with IEFP to develop the complaints management training programme, as well as the skill-building course for unit management. In a constant search to improve operational efficiency through digitalisation processes, we continued to implement "MY HACCP", a digital tool to control legal requirements in terms of food safety, and certified units with the Covid Safety Seal, aimed at fulfilling all required safety procedures, to better meet our clients' needs.
This year was also important in terms of mobilising teams to boost customer service and product quality through the application of operational programmes focused on these two issues. A performance evaluation process and team development plan were also achieved.
The brand also invested in the safety of home delivery distributors, through the implementation of a new uniform that promotes safer driving.
Angola's macroeconomic context continues to strongly condition business take-off, due to lack of purchasing power, increased unemployment, and Covid-19 pandemic related restrictions.
The only unit in operation in Angola is located in the Shopping Xyami Nova Vida, and was clearly affected by the lack of activity in the Shopping Centre, due to closure of shops and a change in the management model of the Kero Hypermarket (the anchor store).
In order to offset these difficulties, the brand continued to invest in specialised product offers, accompanied by best practices in Product Quality Services, Food Hygiene and Safety, and Biosafety measures to prevent and control Covid-19.
The brand kept up its presence on Facebook and other social media platforms, as well as the local Tupuca aggregator.
For the first time the brand achieved 90% in terms of customer evaluation and satisfaction levels.
The Ibersol Group operates three Pizza Hut restaurants in Spain, two in Vigo and one in Nigrán (A Ramallosa).
At the beginning of 2021 the three restaurants were fitted with the IT systems used across the Ibersol Group, namely WinRest, the Call Center order service and GOAL (Orders, Unit Management, SS Client, Account Closure, GlobalHR and WeckOffice), which generated important synergies with the other Iberian brands.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the restaurants endured several phases of restrictions, which in turn generated a high rate of adaptability by the staff to overcome.
The three units applied all the protocols imposed by the Spanish Health Ministry.
Despite the adverse setting, the restaurants achieved 92% in Assured Customer Experience (ACE) audits, with a Standard level, and consolidated their Guest Experience Survey (GES) results, above the brand's average for the Spanish market.
In 2021 the restaurants began working with the country's three main aggregator services: Glovo, Uber, and Just Eat.
In terms of training, the entire team was certified in the training programmes of the new online "Hut University" platform, especially in the LAR1 and LAR2 courses (Leading a Restaurant), for Heads of Unit, and the LAS (Leading a Shift) courses for Shift Managers. This system ensures identical quality training for all the brand's staff.
Following the trend begun in 2020, and at the same time as Pizza Hut Spain, during the second quarter a 50% discount campaign for online orders was begun. It continues until today and is proving to be a great success. In the second quarter we relaunched the individual sized pizza and launched the My Box and the Triple Box, which helped foster a dynamic and innovative brand image among the customers.
Pasta Caffé reached the end of 2021 with 2 operating restaurants in the Norteshopping and the Parque Atlântico, both with table service, take away, and home delivery.
The pandemic which began in 2020 had a very significant impact on supply and demand at the shopping centres and, especially, on their restaurant units.
Specialised in Italian cuisine, Pasta Caffé was one of the players that suffered most with fall in demand. The brand has always positioned itself as a table service restaurant, a calm location away from the hustle of the shopping centre food courts.
Regarding customer's opinions, we continued to consolidate the "Pasta Experience" programme, an on-line platform where customers evaluate all the relevant aspects of their experience in relation to service and offer, enabling them to make suggestions for improvement. This tool allows us to "see the brand's performance through the eyes of the client", which in turn helps us identify changes that lead to an improvement in the satisfaction of our guests.
Pizza Móvil closed the year of 2021 with 19 operational restaurants (five of which franchised).
The year was marked by a slight recovery of the economy after Covid-19, with an erratic sales evolution due to the peaks of the pandemic.
The brand continued to reorganise its menu, creating three categories of pizzas: Originals, Irresistible, and Select.
During 2021 new products were launched in order to increase the range, through the creation of new recipes in the Select categories, the Paisana and the Rústica de Pollo pizzas, as well as a new side dish, Mozzarella Fingers.
The brand's value proposal is based on competitive prices, having invested in digital means to communicate.
Pizza Móvil once again affirmed its communication, freshness and quality through the "Galicia Calidade" seal.
The brand reached the end of 2021 with a total of 30 restaurants in Spain, 13 self-owned and 17 franchises. The brand also operates two self-owned restaurants in the Spanish Travel segment. During the year two franchises were closed: Diagonal Mar (Barcelona) and Majadahonda (Madrid).
Ribs – the True American Barbecue is one of Ibersol's most significant brands. It was created in Madrid, in 1991, but in terms of mission, values, and know-how it is heir to the El Descanso restaurant, founded in 1968 as the first truly American steakhouse in Spain.
The Ribs restaurants are American style family-friendly spaces, meant to be authentic American steakhouses, decorated with exclusive articles purchased in markets, fairs, and antique shops in the USA, making each site unique. The oak coal barbecues, that are never turned off, cook over 330 tonnes of ribs per year for the over 3 million clients that visit its restaurants in Spain.
True to its investment in continual innovation, the brand launched the "Tender Salad", giving its customers the opportunity to enjoy a star dish: ribs in a salad. The year was also marked by the introduction of a new 100% American experience, "Ruta del Sandwich".
The brand also launched the new "Nashville Crispy Chicken Sandwich", with a new recipe from the Western Coast of the USA, which blends potato and onion tortillas with pulled pork and several cheeses.
Two of the most emblematic of its recipes in the Tex Mex range were also changed: "Nachos Frontera" and "Fajitas de Pollo".
Ribs continues to focus on major American celebrations (4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas), and offers a completely safe, genuine, and different experience.
This year was also marked by the continued growth of the delivery channel in all self-owned and franchised restaurants, with promotions and special menus.
With the goal of improving operations and services in the restaurants during the pandemic, the brand reduced its range of products, in order to simplify processes.
At the Human Resources level, we continue to perfect our training processes, having introduced tools from the Ibersol Academy (Moodle training platform) in all the restaurants, both self-owned and franchised.
"True American Barbecue" is the concept behind the RIBS brand, a truly American style steakhouse that operates two units in Portugal.
All the dishes are cooked to order and grilled over 100% holm oak coal, giving them a unique and genuine taste.
Decoration and furniture are fully imported from the USA and the spaces reproduce an authentic American style, so the clients feel enveloped by the atmosphere.
The food offer is smaller than in the brand's larger markets and is centred around the "Grilled riblets" concept, with their unique BBQ sauce, and high-quality hamburgers made specially for the brand. Besides that, it has added a "Tex Mex" line to its offer, which led to increased demand by clients.
The brand offers both in-store and home delivery services, using aggregator platforms.
The Santamaría brand was created in 1998 in Mérida, having begun its expansion through the franchise system in 2001. In 2006 it became part of the Eat Out Group. It closed 2021 with 10 restaurants all over Spain (five of which operated by Travel Spain).
Since its creation, Santamaría has evolved and now includes a multi-offer format, which covers all types of meals (breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner), allowing our customers to enjoy good food and good drinks, at any hour of the day.
Without sacrificing the brand's personality and cuisine, a process was initiated to give the restaurants new character and essence: the "Iberian know-how". With this proposal, the brand once again positioned itself as an Iberian specialist, focusing on experience, "savoire faire", and shining the spotlight on the main factor of the Iberian product: flavour! In the new brand identity, both concepts – knowledge and flavour – are mixed, merging the renewed traditional character of the brand with the lifestyle of Spain. Because you need to be familiar with something to deliver it new and improved.
The new menu stands out for its Iberian products, starters, salads, main dishes, and desserts, all in very original formats of reinvented classical recipes, adapted to modern times. Not tp mention our drinks, which are famous both for their taste and the containers we serve them in.
The brand closed 2021 with a total of in six restaurants in Spain, two of which are self-owned, and four franchises, covering all of Spain.
FrescCo was created in 1994 when its first restaurant opened in Barcelona, and since then it has expanded to the point where there are currently 10 restaurants in Spain. With over 25 years' experience, the brand is 100% engaged in offering its customers a choice of healthy, tasty food, using fresh, seasonal products, and preparing dishes and salads inspired by Mediterranean cuisine.
The brand is renowned for offering healthy, natural, and balanced food with a fixed price buffet concept, where customers compose their own meal. The Market Buffet is the new restaurant concept launched by FrescCo in 2016, designed as an evolution of the buffet, where customers can adapt their meals according to their preferences, thanks to a new gastronomic offer based on quality-guaranteed local fresh products, created for customers who seek a healthy and balanced diet, with the best quality-price relationship.
The new establishments also have a Kitchen & Grill area, where customers can enjoy the best pizzas, grilled meat and fish, and hamburgers cooked to order, right before their eyes.
Burger King closed 2021 with 119 restaurants having opened 12 new units in Portugal.
The main investment was in drive thru restaurants, but a considerable investment was also made to refurbish some of the older style restaurants in the Norte Shopping (Matosinhos) and Pombal.
More units have included home delivery services, which currently apply to 59 restaurants.
2021 marked the 20th anniversary of Burger King in Portugal, and a full rebranding of the concept. The change is taking place in phases in the restaurants, and at the moment 25 units have completed their rebranding process.
Another project that marked 2021 was the elimination of plastic materials used for packaging, and for the utensils provided to the customers, as well as in straws, cutlery, bags, lids, and cups.
The brand has continued to invest in increasingly aggressive promotional campaigns, with burgers for just 1€ or Menus for 3,95€. At the same time, it continued to innovate in the premium range, creating a new (Gourmet) segment through the launch of the "King Selection" range, using high-end products, such as Angus meat, and distinguished ingredients, such as truffles and mushrooms.
Burger King is increasingly marketing itself as a brand that wants to democratise alternative consumption and has increased its vegetarian range, adding Vegetable Nuggets to the Vegetable Whopper and the new Long Vegetable.
In 2021 there were special developments in the digital sphere, and Burger King focused more on digital communication. The brand has shown itself to be original and irreverent on social media, to create a stronger connection with its main target.
The Group's Burger King operation in Spain includes 38 restaurants. Five restaurants were refurbished.
The year was marked by the pandemic: During the first months – January and February – heavy restrictions imposed by the Health Authorities of the Autonomous Communities and Regions forced some restaurants to close temporarily, and the end of the year, namely the month of December, the operation was particularly affected due to the large number of staff in quarantine, a situation we were, however, able to overcome without having to close a single restaurant.
The brand focused on value offers and discounts that were firstly implemented in the delivery segment, through a strong presence on aggregators.
A new Royal corporate image was implemented in all refurbishments.
The MYBURGERKING loyalty programme, which is fully managed by the brand, was launched.
The concern with health led to the elimination of preservatives, artificial colourings and flavours in the raw material, according to the "Real Beauty, Real Flavour" motto, as well as the launching of the Vegetable Long Chicken.
New digital payment methods were introduced in the restaurants, to improve customer service, including WayLet, Paypal, and QR Code reading Apps.
This year KFC celebrated 25 years in Portugal!
2021 also marked the launching of the 2025 Multiannual Strategic Plan, designed to help recover from the negative effects of Covid-19 related restrictions and also to ensure the brand positions itself among leading brands in the modern restaurant sector in Portugal.
The brand closed the year with 41 restaurants, having opened six units in Aveiro, Lisbon, Vila Nova de Gaia, Ponta Delgada, Funchal, and Caldas da Rainha, which contributed to a growth dynamic by entering new markets.
With regard to operations, we continued the Win On Taste (WOT) and Speed of Service projects, both of which were successfully launched in several countries by Yum! Brands, which owns KFC, and which helped introduce to Portugal the focus on product and services quality, and World Class Operational procedures and the Restaurant Operations Compliance Checks (ROCC) Food Quality and Security standards, to which one must add the advances on online information retrieval technologies via Apps or Sites that were successfully implemented into the restaurant's performance routines.
In terms of staff training, the brand kept up its "SoGoodToWork@KFC" programme, aimed at creating and retaining talent at KFC, resulting in recruitment policies that increase retention skills and strengthen roles within the restaurant.
The "RGM#1" project (Restaurant General Manager N1 – which places Restaurant Managers at the centre of the brand's strategy aimed at strengthening management skills, tutoring sessions, and Unit Manager results presentations), continued to merit our full attention in 2021.
As for Marketing, this year saw more promotional activity at the Everyday and Disruptive Value level, especially including the launching of several versions of the Megabox and new products such as the The Box and The Krunch Menu, along with the launching of new and innovative products such as the Mítico, Original Recipe Tenders, Onion Rings and Cheesy Bites.
Promotion of the home delivery service was also intensified, the novelty being a partnership with Bolt Food, adding to the pre-existing Glovo and UberEats partnerships and a constant presence through activation campaigns for new compositions and products that contributed to a strong increase in brand notoriety.
There was an increased investment in the communications strategy, through the promotion of the Megabox and The Krunch Menu, an increase in the communications dynamic and boosting of SocialMedia and increased visibility derived from the partnership with the Peres Competições team, that continues to race with KFC colours in several Rallies, resulting in greater engagement with the fans and increasing the number of followers, as well as the reach and interaction level for KFC Portugal posts.
In this market, where the Ibersol Group operates two restaurants – C.C. Metromar in Mairena de Aljarafe (Seville) and Huércal em Huércal de Almeria – the Covid-19 pandemic containment restrictions had an impact on the restaurant business, despite a strong reaction in terms of the brand's marketing and communication, which presented KFC as a young, vibrant, dynamic, and culturally integrated brand.
We kept up our investment in 100% local talent, as had been planned since the start of operations, in 2019. All our employees are certified according to Yum! Brands global standards, via e-learning tools (Learning Zone) and we follow all the main product and service quality indicators, based on GES (Guest Experience Survey) and ROCC (Restaurant Operations Compliance Check) with a focus on speed that has had a great impact on the Drive-Thru and Delivery services.
The growth of the Delivery business, using aggregators, was particularly significant, especially given the limits on in-house service due to the pandemic, with partners Glovo and UberEats, concentrating on continued activations on the aggregator's apps, through exclusive Value and Bundle offers, extensively communicated along all existing channels, allowing us to strengthen our notoriety, notwithstanding the adverse environment.
KFC closed 2021 with 9 operational restaurants.
Angola's macroeconomic context continued to condition business growth, due to losses in purchasing power, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic that was declared in March 2020, leading to severe restrictions on the restaurant activity, due to the systematic extensions of the State of Calamity declared by the Angolan Government, which led to partial or total closures of restaurants for large periods of time.
Despite the rise in the delivery and drive thru segments, the counter segment registered very significant losses.
With a view to helping overcome our consumers' difficulties, we redesigned some of the brand's value offers, creating new product offers and specialised menus with very competitive prices (menu Bucket p/1; Wednesday promos/ crazy Fridays/Much for Little campaign).
We also maintained our policy of launching new products, centred on client satisfaction, through excellence of service and quality, using high standards of hygiene and food safety, complemented by Covid-19 related safety initiatives. These included protection measures for staff (visors, surgical masks, gloves, disinfectant, temperature detection, acrylic protection for client contacts, among others). Measures for safeguarding customers were also implemented (safety distance markings on the floor, mandatory disinfectant at the doors, acrylic protections at the counters, mandatory social distancing and other legal measures that were decreed in the meantime, especially during the full or partial lockdown periods).
The brand strengthened its digital communications plan, via Facebook and Instagram, having seen its fanbase rise to 343,000 fans on Facebook and 18,530 on Instagram, otherwise maintaining communication through digital tools, outdoors, and radio.
We continue to invest heavily in staff training, to improve the know-how of our local employees and management.
In Portugal, Pans & Company closed 2021 with 48 units (40 Pans & Company restaurants and 8 Cafe Pans kiosks).
In line with what happened in 2020, the 2021 financial year was inevitably marked by the pandemic and the impact of containment measures that, over the year, led to significant losses in the counter and take away segments.
In this regard, during 2020 our teams concentrated on strict control of cost structures, thorough compliance with implemented safety and hygiene measures and increasing business volume in the different sales channels we are present in, with a focus on Delivery which continued to benefit from the pandemic context in which we are living.
2021 was also marked by the opening of another autonomous sales point for the Cafe Pans brand – the Pans universe's label for the cafeteria segment –, by the launching of the new Pans APP, with exclusive benefits for its users, namely access to exclusive promotions and mobile online purchases without queues, and several campaigns to launch new products, amongst which the "Pans for Everyone" campaign stands out.
With the "Pans for Everyone" campaign we wish to continue to "democratise Pans". The product development included the creation of vegetarian or vegan versions of some of our most emblematic recipes, significantly increasing our offer of vegetarian options, fully in sync with our essence. This was an ambitious move, through which we wish to highlight what we are and what we want to continue to be: a leading brand and sandwich specialist for everybody – whatever you are like, whatever you enjoy, always, Pans.
Founded in 1991, having first opened in Barcelona, Pans & Company is one of the leading brands in the Iberian sandwiches and Coffee & Bakery market, with a presence in the Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Andorran, and Moroccan markets.
In Spain, Pans & Company closed the year of 2021 with 82 restaurants, 42 of which are franchises.
As had happened in 2020, this year was also very much marked by the Covid-19 pandemic which affected, and continues to affect, the global and national economic landscapes, with very clear repercussions on the restaurant sector. In the case of Pans & Company it led to relevant losses, especially during the peak contagion periods. Faced with this scenario, the brand focused on operations, thoroughly following safety and hygiene protocols throughout the year. Pans & Company solidified and increased its delivery channel, a segment that continues to benefit from the pandemic context. With this in mind, the brand launched the Café Pans in this channel, thereby living up to its commitment to take the global brand offer to its customers, wherever they are.
This year was also marked by the launch of "Pans&World, mucho pan y amor", which is not only a commitment focused on sustainability, but above all a socially minded global commitment to values such as diversity, tolerance, solidarity, and plan protection. These values led to concrete activities, such as decreasing waste and cooperation with different NGOs, such as SCI Madrid and the REMAR Association.
The launch of the "Pans para todos" campaign must also be mentioned, this was a strong investment by the brand, aimed at democratising Pans through identical measures to those indicated in Portugal.
Since its launch in Portugal, at the end of 2019, Taco Bell has been winning over the hearts of the Portuguese public, with a young and bold brand, restaurants inspired by Mexico, with a Californian touch.
Taco Bell is inspired by Mexican cuisine and uses only top-notch ingredients, providing a wide variety of flavours, aromas, and textures. The products are always made to go and include an original combination of fresh and tasty ingredients.
Internationally, the brand positions itself in the fast-food market with the best possible quality-quantity-price relationship and is aimed at an audience of varying ages, but specially Millennials and Generation Z.
Taco Bell currently has over 7,500 restaurants all over the world, the vast majority of which located in the USA.
With an ambitious expansion plan, and during a pandemic, in 2021 the brand presented its Taco Lovers with 7 new restaurants, increasing its presence from north to south of the country, closing the year with 11 units. It strengthened its presence in the larger Porto area with new restaurants in ArrabidaShopping and GaiaShopping, and in the larger Lisbon area with units in the Centro Comercial Vasco da Gama, and Ubbo, in Amadora. At the request of many of our Taco Lovers, the brand entered new regions in the country, with openings in the Glicínias Plaza, in Aveiro, and in the Algarveshopping and Aqua Portimão, in the Algarve.
In April the first restaurant with its own dining room and terrace was opened in the Centro Comercial Vasco da Gama, allowing for the introduction of the truly Californian atmosphere that characterises the brand, strengthening its bold and young image, using elements that point to the Californian style, including furniture, props such as surf and skateboards, and lighting, creating a warm and beach-style atmosphere.
This growth was only possible because the brand strengthened its team having invested in new forms of recruitment communication, centred around brand attributes.
During the first quarter of 2021 it increased its range of home delivery partners to include Glovo and Bolt Food, allowing more Portuguese homes to enjoy its products.
It continues to prioritise the inclusion of digital kiosks in its restaurants as sales channels, aiming to provide the best purchasing experience for its clients.
The brand strengthened its online presence, through an increasingly bold communication strategy, and foodporn.
On 27 September and 14 October, Taco Bell decided to provide university freshers with free Tacos, provided they present proof of university enrolment.
The brand considers staff training to be crucial, and therefore increased its training content, always through digital channels, in line with recent trends.
Business in the Travel channel is carried out in motorway service stations and in the Airports, and is aimed at travelling clients. The units allocated to this segment are managed according to a multi-brand concept, which means more than one owned or franchised brand operates in the same space, with the aim of satisfying the needs of different consumers at various mealtimes, through specific concepts.
This segment was deeply affected by the pandemic, due to internal travel restrictions and the closure of borders, as well as limits on sales within the units.
The motorway service stations are an important segment of activity for the Ibersol Group, which at the end of the year operated 24 units.
This business segment was already showing some signs of recovery during the post pandemic period, although it continues to be strongly affected by reduction of traffic due to the introduction of tolls on the former SCUTS (highways without tolls) and by increasing competition from the service stations with reference to restaurant services, but it was also badly affected by the pandemic. During this pandemic period, in some SOL units, we developed or introduced delivery services, through the Burger King, KFC, and Pans & Company brands.
SOL is the umbrella brand for the urban and long-distance motorway restaurant services, through units with a modern and functional design, food proposals adjusted to the needs of consumers and with services that go well beyond those of conventional restaurants in service stations. In view of the varied profiles of those who visit the SOL units, these spaces are prepared to offer a great experience to all of them.
The Sol units are characterised by their freshly prepared food offers, at accessible prices, personalised and attentive service according to specific brands, adapted to different moments of consumption. In these units you can find renowned self-owned or franchised restaurant brands. Go To Coffee & Food is the cafeteria brand which is present in most SOL service stations. This brand is also present in Portuguese airports, where it operates restaurant units. In various locations, especially in cities, the Sol units include renowned international brands such as Burger King, Pans & Company, and KFC.
The units also provide a variety of services, such as an independent baby changing room, a lounge area, free Wi-Fi, sockets for charging computers or mobile phones, availability of tablets and daily newspapers for perusal, sale of newspapers, magazines, last minute gifts, dog stations, and drive-thru.
The Group runs a Go To Coffee & Food cafeteria in the Porto-Campanhã station, with a wide range of products, prepared for a swift and attentive service, which provides for the needs of travellers at any time of the day.
The Ibersol Group is one of the main reference operators in Portuguese airports, and is present in the Lisbon, Ponta Delgada, Santa Maria, Funchal, and Porto Santo airports, with 25 points of sale, through six of its own concepts – Go To Coffee & Food, Clocks, Nove, Specially, Cockpit Coffee&Tapas, and Saudade – and four international franchised brands: Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King, and Go Natural.
This financial year was marked by a significant reduction in traffic in Portuguese airports, which had a deep impact on the operations located therein.
This division of the Group is dedicated to managing 52 restaurants in Spain, located in seven airports, train stations and other tourism installations.
These points of sale are operated by 24 brands. Some of them are the group's own brands, such as Pans & Company, Café Pans, Ribs, and Santamaria, while others were created specifically for this segment, such as Breadway, Caffé di Fiore, and Fire&Bread. Finally, other brands are franchised: E.A.T., GoNatural, Coffee Republic, TapaTapa, Central Café, Jamaica, Wok Street, and Mussol, among others. These brands have given the Group management skills in different types of restaurant format, from Grab&Go to Casual Dining, including Fast Food or traditional coffee shops.
2021 saw a slight recovery in traffic, especially from July onwards. Throughout the year all the units that had been temporarily closed due to the pandemic and restrictions on access to airports were reopened, and the year closed with 47 open restaurants.
The Barcelona central production unit reopened in July.
The contract for four units in the Fuerteventura airport expired in December.
The year of 2021 was challenging, and economic activity continued to ebb and flow due to the persistence of the pandemic. In the first four months of the year, we were subjected to successive periods of lockdown which led to a set of restrictions that impacted families and companies and, therefore, Silva Carvalho Catering, and Palace Catering.
Despite this, the gradual reopening of the economy, which began in May, and the recovery of the consumer confidence assured the continuity of our activity, consolidating the presence of Silva Carvalho Catering and Palace Catering in the national market. Together, both brands catered to 425 events, and served over 140,000 customers.
The companies were chosen to cater to 12 congresses in 2021, eight of which were international, including the ECNP medical congress, which lasted four days and included around 1,850 participants per day; EUSEM Congress, the European Emergency Medicine Congress, with about 1,200 participants over four days; Velo City also lasted four days and was attended by 730 participants per day, and ESSO 40, the 40th Congress of the European Society of Surgical Oncology, which lasted three days and was attended by about 525 participants per day.
Also worth mentioning was the participation in events such as the Porto Social Summit, Radio Days Europe, APLOG, Ciência Viva 2021, and Moda Portugal.
In terms of food safety and health in the workplace, we increased training and consolidated operational practices to ensure the health and well-being of our staff and our customers.
At the Dragão Stadium we were present in 28 FC Porto games and several other events on the grounds, including of course the UEFA Champions League Final 2001, one of the most widely viewed sporting events in the world, supporting service and production in partnership with Do&Co. Around 3,000 meals were served in the Stadium's VIP area, and around 6,000 staff meals. Our base-team at the Dragão cooperated with more than 80 staff members to make this happen.
We organised 25 games in Sporting Clube de Portugal's Estádio de Alvalade, and one National Team game. We served a total of 29,250 meals during 48 events.
The Alcochete Academy, Sporting Clube de Portugal's training ground, kept up its activity and our team was able to fulfil the demands of the club during the pandemic.
The high point of the year was the recovery of the events market. The health measures that we put into place strengthened our customer's trust in the 52 private events in which we participated, including 33 weddings.
Regarding sustainability principles and values, we maintained our support for humanitarian causes through the donation of meals. In 2021 we donated around 18,000 meals.
The Ibersol Group aims to guarantee the sustainable development of its businesses, through a commitment to respect for the environment and a constant search for solutions that help to diminish the environmental impact and protect the planet.
One of the sustainability vectors defined as a priority by the Ibersol Group, in terms of performance, is the environmental dimension. One cannot separate the concept of social responsibility from the concept of sustainable development, which is why the reduction of the environmental impact of the activity of the Group as a whole is a constant concern.
In 2021 we remained committed to the vision of a circular economy, which promotes a separation between economic growth and an increase of resource consumption. This vision continues to guide our strict environmental management practices in their different spheres.
In this sense, the Ibersol Group invests daily in reducing the environmental impact that its activities produce, namely at the level of:
Resource Preservation, reducing the environmental footprint and promoting positive changes through:
Contributing to a circular economy includes a circular approach to containers and to generated waste, through actions aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling the waste generated by our restaurants, promoting recycling practices and directing food oil waste to be used for biodiesel production.
● Minimising the use of disposables + residue processing – e.g.: reducing the number of straws and cup lids and ensuring that waste is separated;
Approval required for suppliers and products (sustainable origin) – e.g.: FSC/PEFC certified containers and animal welfare certification;
● Recycled materials, reduction of container size/quantity, use of biodegradable materials;
● C02 emissions control in the logistics operations – e.g.: multitemperature vehicles (simultaneous delivery of all products / < trucks in circulation).
With these concerns in mind, in 2021 the Group renewed certifications according to Norm NP EN ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Systems Management, which certifies that the whole structure is committed to improving its environmental performance in the management of natural resources, environmental protection, and reducing its carbon footprint. This certification includes the Ibersol Group's restaurant operations management as well as the Dragão Stadium Catering, Vog Tecmaia, and all the Group's units in the Lisbon Airport.
Reduction of Single Use Plastic Materials and Containers
Since 2019 we have been working on the reduction of single use plastic materials and containers. Therefore, throughout 2021 we continued to promote initiatives in line with the Group's environmental concerns and the principles of the European Parliament and Council directive (SUP directive), regarding the reduction of the environmental impact of certain plastics.
In 2021 these initiatives allowed for an effective reduction of 62 tonnes of plastic. An important part of this reduction lies in the elimination of some containers and their components, as well as the replacement of plastic in bags, containers, food containers, drinking and ice-cream cups, lids, and dishes for natural fibres.
Selective Seperation and Channeling
All the group's units play a very active role in the selective separation and channelling of
waste (paper/cardboard, plastic/metal and glass), which is carried out daily in all restaurants and offices.
As with previous years, the contract with the Integrated Residue and Containers Management System, coordinated by the Sociedade Ponto Verde, was maintained. This system is dedicated to guaranteeing the circuit of reuse, valuing and recycling, as well as reducing the volume of waste that is sent to landfills.
True to our role of encouraging the correct channelling practices of container waste among customers, we improved markings on service containers, which now include information about correct disposal, to guarantee their adequate treatment.
In 2021 the adequate channelling and treatment of waste generated through the Integrated Residue and Containers Management System, coordinated by the Sociedade Ponto Verde helped avoid the emission of over 11,000 tCO2e into the atmosphere. This figure was estimated considering the annual quantity of containers put into the market by the Ibersol Group and the general performance of the waste management system run by SPV.
This approach takes into account that the recovery of these materials and energy prevent the conventional production of the same and their loss through deposits in landfills or through incineration.
All our restaurants are certified for the collection of used edible oils.
At the same time, the production of edible oil waste has also continued to be carefully monitored and managed, to guarantee that 100% of the waste produced is properly disposed of, recycled, and valued.
In 2021 approximately 506 tonnes of used edible oils were sent to biodiesel production.
Recent increases in Electricity and Gas prices are, to a certain extent, sure to continue in the near future, and since part of the Electricity used in Europe is generated from natural gas this effect was also felt on electricity prices.
Given the volatility of energy prices, the Ibersol Group is looking into the production of photovoltaic energy to offset the higher prices of energy in the short run and guarantee a greater degree of self-sufficiency in the medium and long run.
With the increase in energy prices, energy management becomes more important and begins in the project phase, with the design of more energy efficient buildings and the choice of more efficient systems and equipment.
The increase in the number of electrical vehicles in circulation presents a new opportunity to serve customers, who take advantage of their time in the unit's car parks to charge their batteries.
To this end the installation of chargers in the drive restaurants is being studied both for the mainland and the islands.
The Ibersol Group adopted the use of LED lighting in new stores and replacing lighting in existing stores with LED lightbulbs.
Based on increasing efficiency, and to achieve adequate lighting of the space, thereby reducing and optimising energy consumption, the Group decided upon:
All the brands have applied and promoted the On/Off Control Measures Plan (turning equipment on and off). The plan, structured into three stages, is made up of the identification of existing equipment and systems. The systems analysed – lighting, air conditioning, new air and extraction are checked for potential improvements and, if these are identified, the times of use are registered.
Lighting systems that do not have controls are given a schedule for each area of the restaurant, and operate on an on/off regime.
A comfort temperature is indicated for the air conditioning and schedules to turn the machines on and off are set. A change in the temperature of the air conditioning of 1ºC translates into savings of up to 7% in the equipment's energy consumption. The air conditioning equipment was regulated for a temperature that is adequate to outdoor conditions: 18ºC in the winter and 25ºC in the summer.
Excessive reactive energy consumption, linked to low potency factor values, have some disadvantages:
This type of energy was compensated for in the restaurants through the installation of capacitor banks in the Low Voltage Distribution Board, thereby compensating all the reactive energy.
The Energy Performance Regulations for Commercial and Service Buildings (RECS) Law N. 101- D/2020 of 7 December, establishes the standards applicable to the improvement of their energy performance and regulates the Buildings Energy Certification System.
The regulation for buildings with almost no energy needs, known as NZEB, applies to new commercial and services buildings whose construction licencing or authorization processes were filed with the competent entities after January 2021.
The installation of photovoltaic solar panels has several advantages, namely:
The Ibersol Group's projects developed during 2021 or currently in licencing stages have been fitted with photovoltaic centres for producing electricity, which are installed in restaurant terraces and parking lots. Besides the production of electricity, the latter solution provides protection to customers when they park their vehicles.
The Ibersol Group entered a partnership with EDP Comercial for the installation of state-ofthe-art QC90 Quick Chargers, which can be upgraded to the QC120 model. The equipment chosen permits different types of charging, direct or alternate current. All the sockets are quick, which means that they can charge around 100 km of autonomy in just 20 to 30 minutes, generally, depending on the electric autonomy of the vehicles.
The aim of this partnership is to make a decisive contribution to increasing options for charging electric and hybrid vehicles in Portugal, and contributing to the energy transition of the MOBI.E. electric vehicle Public Charging Network, as well as the decarbonisation of the Portuguese economy.
Through the installation of chargers, the Ibersol Group can offer its customers the opportunity to charge their vehicle while they enjoy their meal, thereby contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Portugal.
By promoting this sort of mobility amongst its customers, the Ibersol Group is encouraging them to reach its restaurants in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Following the renegotiation of energy supply contracts (for the period between April 2020 and June 2024), considering the increases registered in the futures market, we obtained a price lower than the market price around 100 €/MWh.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ibersol Group was forced to temporarily close several restaurants, which led to a reduction in electricity consumption.
In 2021 the Group opened 12 Burger King, 7 Taco Bell, 6 KFC, and 5 Pizza Hut restaurants.
The beginning of 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to a steep drop in the prices of the three commodities, due to drop in demand. Following the third quarter of that year the prices of the three commodities began to bounce back, especially natural gas, which is related to the softening of Covid-19 pandemic spread control measures. In early 2021 this course was maintained and in the last quarter of 2021 there was a steep rise in natural gas prices, when compared to other commodities. Source: Erse.
The global price of the natural gas price for 2021 dropped by 2% compared to the previous contract for 2020, due to the contract negotiation of a 12% of the energy component compared to the increase of the network access tariff component of 7.4%, valid until September 2021.
Due to the steep increase in the price of the energy component in the gas market, reaching unprecedented figures (around 200%), the renegotiation of the supply contract for the period between October 2021 and September 2022 led to an increase in the gas bill for 2021 of around 12%.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ibersol Group was forced to temporarily close several restaurants, which led to a reduction in gas consumption.
We remain committed to reducing CO2 emissions and have insisted on finding solutions that allow for the mitigation of the impacts of this gas on the atmosphere.
Compared to the previous year, around nine thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide were avoided, in total and indirectly, in the same universe of stores as in 2020.

Some measures were adopted to reduce water consumption, such as:
One of the priorities of the European Union is to streamline capital flows to sustainable investments, promote the systematic integration of sustainability in risk management, and increase transparency in economic and financial operations, according to a consensual definition of what constitutes "green activities".
It was in this context that "EU Green Taxonomy" arose, along with other relevant initiatives connected to the non-financial reporting (CSRD) and the sustainable financial reporting (SFDR), which henceforth shall be referred to as Taxonomy, through the publication of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and the Council, 18 June, 2020.
Taxonomy is an activity classification system that translates the climate and environmental goals of the EU in terms of investment criteria in certain economic activities that are considered green, or environmentally sustainable. This system applies to companies that are under the obligation to publish a non-financial report, such as the Ibersol Group, besides all stakeholders in the financial market (including unlisted issuer companies) that provide financial products.
Within the framework of Taxonomy, and regarding economic activities that are considered eligible, all organisations are expected to state if, besides respecting a set of minimum social safeguards, they provide a substantial contribution and/or do not significantly harm any of the following six goals:
The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 complemented the previous publication by detailing the list of eligible activities and the technical criteria that determine under which circumstances an economic activity contributes substantially to the first two environmental objectives and under which conditions the activity does not significantly harm the achievement of any of the six environmental objectives.
Within the framework of this latter diploma, all organisations covered by the Taxonomy are under the obligation of low disclosure in 2022, about the 2021 financial year, which should identify the eligible and non-eligible economic activities, according to business volume, capital expenses (CAPEX), and operation expenses (OPEX). For an activity to be considered eligible it should make a considerable contribution to at least one of the first two environmental objectives.
For the report regarding 2022, due in 2023, a full disclosure will be required, covering the six environmental goals, in both quantity and quality.
A look at the list of Taxonomy-eligible activities shows that the core activity of the Ibersol Group – organised catering – is not present. This means that the main activity of the Ibersol Group is not part of the list of eligible activities, and therefore does not substantially contribute to any of the main environmental goals (climate action), whereby the Business Volume (percentage of revenue linked to Taxonomy related activities) is null.
On the other hand, it was possible to identify a number of individual initiatives and activities that support the main activity of the Ibersol Group that, in fact, are classed as eligible economic activities according to the Taxonomy, in relation to which the Green CAPEX and the Green OPEX can be traced, as follows:
The different Ibersol Group brands sell take-away meals either directly or through aggregating platforms, and these are usually physically distributed on self-owned motorcycles or on other vehicles associated to said platforms.
Therefore, section 6 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 on "Transports" applies to the use of motorcycles for the home-delivery of Ibersol Group meals, both for objective "1. Mitigation of climate change" and for objective "2. Adapting to climate change", unless the immediate purpose of the acquisition or rental of said vehicles is not the sale or provision of transport services to third parties, but its own use or exploration.
A detailed analysis of the aforementioned home delivery of meals, identified the following eligible activity:
6.5. Transport on motorbikes, light passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles During the year 2021, the Ibersol Group decided to start using directly, on a rental basis, a total of 100 fully electric motorbikes in its own distribution associated to the Burger King brand, which avoided the consumption of 29,000 litres of fossil fuels and the respective carbon emissions. This activity was considered "eligible" in terms of Green OPEX.
Every year the Ibersol Group makes various kinds of investments in real estate aimed at hosting its restaurant activities. There are three specific conditions that should be considered in relation to green Taxonomy, namely: (1) construction of new restaurants, (ii) celebration of rent contracts in new enterprises in which the Ibersol Group covers all the speciality final works, furnishings, decoration, and equipment installation for the launching of new restaurants, and (iii) the remodelling or refurbishing of existing restaurants.
These activities are covered by section 7 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 on "Real estate and construction activities", both for objective "1. Climate change mitigation" and for objective "2. Adaptation to climate change", unless the immediate goal of the real estate construction was not its sale or lease, but its use or exploration. However, considering this real estate becomes the property of the Ibersol Group it is taken for granted that the group's responsibility is applicable to the Taxonomy simply because it can be sold at any given moment.
A detailed analysis of the aforementioned construction and real estate activities, the following sub-activities were identified as eligible for Green CAPEX tracing:
7.1. Construction of new buildings
During the year 2021, the Ibersol Group built 8 new restaurants and entered into 4 lease contracts in new developments in which it ensured all the final works for the opening of new restaurants; these 12 properties meet the energy requirements of Taxonomy in the "significantly contribute" aspect, having obtained energy certificate A or B. However, the compliance with the "no significant harm" criteria regarding the use of water resources is not fully guaranteed. Therefore, this specific activity was globally considered "non-aligned" in terms of Green CAPEX. However, in the same context, it was possible to track "aligned" components related to construction waste recovery services, energy design services for buildings and other specific sub-activities described below (7.4. and 7.6.).
installed solar DHW (domestic hot water) panels in 13 restaurants, including 12 new restaurants and 1 refurbished restaurant. Therefore, this specific activity was considered "aligned" in terms of Green CAPEX.
According to Annex I of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/4987, the Total OPEX benchmark should cover the direct unfunded costs related to research and development, building refurbishment measures, short-term rental, maintenance and repair as well as any other direct expenditure related to the day-to-day maintenance of tangible fixed assets, by the company or third parties to whom activities are outsourced, and that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of these assets.
The Ibersol Group's overall OPEX in the year 2021 was valued at 291,637,825€, from which a reference Total OPEX value (denominator) of 14,883,581.00€ was extracted.
The OPEX aligned by Taxonomy (numerator) was, in turn, assessed at 107,760.00€ and refers to activities under section 6 (Transport) and aligned with the criteria set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, as detailed in the previous section.
Therefore, in 2021 the Proportion of OPEX aligned by Taxonomy was 0.724%.
Under Annex I of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/4987, the Total benchmark CAPEX covers additions to tangible and intangible assets before depreciation, amortisation and any re-measurements, notably resulting from revaluations and impairments, and excluding fair value changes. Increases in tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations are also covered.
The Total reference CAPEX (denominator) of the Ibersol Group in 2021 was assessed at 33,342,705.00€.
The CAPEX component considered eligible under the EU Green Taxonomy was assessed at 21,667,818.02€ and refers to activities falling under section 7 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 regarding "Construction and real estate activities", as detailed in the previous section.
The Taxonomy-aligned CAPEX (numerator) was assessed at 241,665.24€ taking into account the criteria set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139.
Therefore, in 2021 the Proportion of CAPEX aligned with Taxonomy was 0.725%.
A summary table is presented below:
| Indicator | Total (€) | Aligned (€) | Aligned/Total (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPEX | 14.883.581,00 | 107.760,00 | 0,724% |
| CAPEX | 33.342.705,00 | 241.665,24 | 0,725% |
As has already been said, the contribution of Ibersol Group's activity within the framework of European Union Green Taxonomy is null at the level of its main activity of organised catering, given that it is not even part of the base-list of eligible activities included in annexes I and II of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. However, at the level of support activities that are covered by the list, namely transport and construction and real estate activities, the contribution of the Ibersol Group is non-material, with CAPEX and OPEX indicators having been calculated to be of a proportion below 1%.
Personnel Development has improved significantly at the Ibersol Group, gaining increasing notoriety on the work market. The constant mapping and updating of processes in the field of Personnel Development has been a priority, especially in a year in which the context called for minimal hiring of new assets.
The company has gained a reputation as a "Life School" and invests continually in training its Personnel. This investment has taken the form of the Ibersol Academy, which this year strengthened its e-learning content, endowing its training process with more flexibility both in terms of time and of space. At the same time, we continue to partner with teaching institutions and business schools, such as the Porto Business School. The joint creation of continuous training programmes boosted the internal training capacity and gave our teams the skills required for an excellent performance.

Ibersol encourages the continuous learning and development of its employees. In 2021, to respond to the current and future challenges of our shared businesses and services, we launched new training programmes in partnership with the Porto Business School. These include:
• Food for Thought – A 323-hour programme for future Coordinating Managers, divided into on-site and virtual training, on job training under the guidance of a tutor, and coaching sessions.
• Leadership – an 84-hour programme for Intermediate Management positions in Shared Services and Business Structure which promotes the learning of skills which impact the current reality of these positions.
At the same time, we boosted our investment into our digital Ibersol Academy platform, prolonging existing programmes in a format which reconciles e-learning with on job training and which has proven to be very effective in the transmission and consolidation of knowledge.

Health and Safety in the Workplace is crucial to any organisation and affects not only personal well-being but also collective balance.
The Ibersol Group sees ensuring a culture of safety for all members of the organisation as a mission it invests in daily, involving everyone in the same goal.
Prevention and protection, through the promotion of awareness of best practices in terms of collective and individual behaviour, is the most efficient formula to achieve the desired results.
In 2021, despite the aforementioned accompaniment of positive Covid-19 cases, and the vigilance of suspected and low risk cases, in strict contact with the health authorities and medical services, and according to the guidelines, the group carried out:
"Don't Fall For It!" Teaser, sharing the ranking of safest units to encourage the prevention of workplace hazards;


In 2021 the Ibersol Group renewed its certification according to the ISO 45001:2018 norm in the Integrated Management System.
With a view to improving well-being and a sense of belonging amongst the staff, the Ibersol Group continued its "Ibersol on the Move" programme. During an atypical year, where recreational time with colleagues was all but impossible, we found it necessary to adapt the different initiatives to the pandemic context.
The new Operations Staff Portal was launched in order to strengthen internal communication. The purpose of this app is to make communication simpler and to provide employees with useful information, as well as with access to their individual information.

To boost Internal Communication and Ibersol Culture, the Ibersol Group published 12 issues of its monthly digital i-News newsletter. The content for this horizontal communication tool is produced by the Businesses and Departments, and includes: news about new projects, guidelines, best practices, testimonials, acknowledgments, news about products and campaigns, events, etc..
The publication has had a very positive impact on Ibersol Culture, strengthening corporate feeling, and has contributed to bringing the different latitudes closer together and to sharing knowledge between different business fields.

We held several competitions during the year, under the motto "You Matter", aimed at employees and their families. The goal of these initiatives was to strengthen ties and involve and integrate the staff, making the workplace environment more pleasant and welcoming.

Halloween, on 31 October, presented a perfect opportunity for team celebration. Our units are used to celebrating, providing our staff and our customers with moments of fun and fantasy. This year, under the motto "Union and Sharing", these celebrations were extended to the teams that work in our different offices, decorating common areas with scary balloons, pumpkins, spiders, ghosts, and bats.

Participation was encouraged by distributing photobooth props and a "Scariest Photograph" competition, engaging the creativity of our teams to surprise us with bone-chilling pictures.


In Spain the Ribs brand has a longstanding tradition of celebrating Halloween, by decorating its spaces according to the theme of the year, fantasy competitions among employees, and prizes for the best-decorated units. The focus is always on brand identification and promotion of the well-being of the teams, as well as involving clients in this American celebration.

Regarding Christmas celebrations, and even though this was a different Christmas, in which it was not possible to gather the extensive Ibersol family in the popular Christmas Party, we searched for alternatives that allowed us to be close and to celebrate Sharing and Union, values that are part of our identity and which we wish to maintain and to preserve.

This year, besides the Board's Christmas message which was published online to be viewed by staff in Portugal, Spain, and Angola, we also allowed our teams to wish their colleagues in the group a "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays", finding creative ways to share the Christmas spirit that manifests itself in our restaurants and offices during this Christmas season.
In place of the usual invitation to the Christmas dinner, our employees were given a Gift Card, Meal Box, and a Christmas Card. Instead of the Christmas Circus, all our employees' children were given a voucher to enjoy a meal of their choice in an Ibersol Group restaurant, encouraging them to get to know a new brand or to visit the children's favourites.

A total of 24 "Ibersol Values" awards were attributed to staff members or teams on the Ibersol Business and Shared Services departments that stood out during the year for their dedication, entrepreneurial spirit, and daily embodiment of the Ibersol Values.

As usual, we held another edition of the very popular Christmas Competition for Employee's Children, many of whom drew their Christmas wishes with plenty of imagination and joy.


Motivated by its own values and sustainability principles, the Ibersol Group plays an active role in promoting initiatives that involve the communities it is inserted in, through initiatives that naturally respected the pandemic containment and prevention measures that were kept up during the year of 2021.
Despite the drop in the number of visitors to our units, due to the pandemic context over the past two years, we hosted students from the Hotel and Tourism School of Porto in our Norteshopping Units and in the Central Kitchen. These visits are aimed at giving students the opportunity to get to know different realities and to create the conditions for their possible professional integration.
Pizza Hut remained present at KidZania, a theme park in the Dolce Vita Tejo shopping centre, in Lisbon, aimed at families with children and youngsters under the age of 15. This "job city", built to scale, offers children the opportunity to "play grown-up" in a very realistic environment. Despite temporary closure during the pandemic, the Pizza Hut unit did receive many children who were given the opportunity to make their own pizzas, and enjoy an original and special day.

Throughout the year, the Ibersol Group supports several charities, namely through food donation, offering meals and attribution of menus to different institutions.
Despite ups and downs in activity, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Silva Carvalho Catering kept up its role of actively supporting humanitarian causes through the donation of food and meals, having donated around 18,000 meals/six tonnes of food. The institutions that benefited from these donations were "Coração da Cidade" in Porto, and "Refood", in Lisbon (EJA).
Burger King sponsored an initiative by ASAS (Associação de Solidariedade e Ação Social), through the delivery of 20 take-away menus to young people. The purpose of this association is to promote and contribute to the protection and support of vulnerable, needy, and poor families in the community, especially children and at-risk youths. To this end, as executing entity of Project 4IN – INform, INtegrate, INclude, and INnovate, in its 2 Axis – family and parental intervention, prevention of child poverty – between 27 and 29 December it organised a camp for 20 youths from the parish of Santo Tirso. It also supported the Diocesan Caritas of Aveiro, during the month of June, by offering 20 child

menus to needy children. The SOS Villages in Santo Tirso and Guarda were also given around 20 menus for children and youths in each of the local Associations, in the month of December.
For the second year in a row, in 2021 KFC decided to support the health professionals of the São João and Covões hospitals, in Porto and Coimbra respectively, offering them meals as a small gesture of acknowledgment for their struggle against the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the health of the Portuguese people.

Pizza Hut carried out the Yellow Helmet social responsibility initiative which, besides encouraging good relations with local safety authorities (firemen and police), aims to hold our delivery teams accountable for safety standards at a time when safety incidents are on the rise and the population needs more support. It is also a way of thanking them for the important work carried out throughout the year and to provide some support to all those who cannot be with their families on these days because they are ensuring everyone's safety. This initiative included the delivery of Pizza Hut products in the Police stations closest to the restaurants, as well as to fire departments (where these are located within the DLV coverage area of each unit) on Christmas and New Year's Eves.

On the 31st anniversary of its presence in Portugal, Pizza Hut teamed with the AARF – Associação Almadense Rumo ao Futuro, a charity that works with the disabled and that is sponsored by motorcyclist Miguel Oliveira. The Charneca da Caparica unit offered its beneficiaries 71 pizzas, providing them with a different, special, and tasty meal.


Throughout the year, Pizza Hut carried out several initiatives in different schools, through pizza tastings. It also supported Associação Norte Vida, providing the needy with an experience unlike what they are used to.
Over 25 Pizza Hut restaurants, all over the country, supported around 1000 frontline workers in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, namely firefighters and health professionals in

hospitals, in over 25 institutions throughout the country, with the aim of contributing to the recognition and appreciation of their services.
Through its Pans&World initiative, focused on sustainability, Pans is also committed to a global social responsibility project, towards a better future.

In Spain, Pans supports the REMAR Association, an NGO and charity that has been working with the homeless and children at risk of exclusion in Spain since 1982. In this case, Pans provides meals to two summer camps for children in this situation.

In Madrid the brand is partnered with the SCI Madrid NGO's "Sandwiches on the Street" volunteer programme. Practically every Wednesday, throughout the year, sandwiches are donated to a group of people at risk of social exclusion.

Pans also supported the La Marató TV3 Foundation, in an event for volunteers who took part in the TV3 Marathon, answering phone calls in a fund drive for the organisation, that works in the field of mental health. A total of 1,000 sandwiches were donated on a day aimed at raising funds for mental health research.

Pizza Hut sponsored the SC Cumieira club, from Vila Real, in its events and tournaments, and contributed with discounts, as well as providing discount meals to the FC Gaia Handball team.

In Spain, Vidisco sponsored the 20/21 season of Sporting Cambre, to the tune of 500 €.
The Group continues to celebrate special days. The Pizza Hut units celebrated Woman's Day again this year.

Lurca, one of the Ibersol Group's companies in Spain, which represents the Burger King brand, retained its role as a "Business friend" of the Amigos Rimkieta Foundation.
This support is aimed at helping the Foundation in its mission to nurture the best living conditions possible in the Rimkieta neighbourhood and surrounding areas, in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso. The support is mostly attributed to women and children and goes towards education, food, and health, as well as the social and professional advancement of women. In 2021 the company raised 25,000 € for this purpose.
Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger


A campaign for donations took place between 20 and 26 September, with the slogan "Smile! And bring a smile to someone who needs it most". This was an Ibersol Group initiative, in partnership with the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger.
In Portugal customers of Burger King, KFC, Pans & Company, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Miit, ókilo, Pasta Caffé, Ribs, and SOL played an active role in helping those who need it most. With this solidarity initiative, which involved all of the Group's employees, Ibersol raised 34,633.59 euros amongst its customers. A total of 35,000 euros were delivered to the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks against hunger, and converted into food stuffs, to be distributed amongst the Food Banks on the mainland and the islands.
This was the 13th year in which the Ibersol Group carried out this type of nationwide initiative in Portugal, having delivered over 830 thousand euros in all its charity campaigns combined.
The Ibersol Group partnered with the Health Board in an awareness campaign amongst young people on the importance of vaccination and regular testing. The motto of the campaign was "Together Again", and the goal was to stress the importance of collective security through communication in the group's restaurants and social media channels.

The Ibersol Group once again took part in the FEP Masters Challenge, as a member of the Jury of the 2021 edition. The goal of this initiative is to develop, detect, and recognise talent among students of the Economics Faculty of the Porto University's Master's Degree. Besides supporting these initiatives that help bring companies and academic institutions closer together, our participation is aimed at promoting and strengthening the Ibersol brand and its attractiveness in the job market.

In 2021 the Ibersol Group took part again in the ADD HOPE project. Through this Social Responsibility project, the group was able to deliver six million Kwanzas to Caritas Angola, raised through the contribution of Ibersol's clients.
Caritas continues to be active in the following fields: strengthening the institutional capacity, health (especially HIV-AIDS and maternal-child health); literacy and professional training; agriculture (specifically in rural areas).
The ADD HOPE project is part of Ibersol Angola's Social Responsibility strategy which, over the years, has provided important support to the community. The partnership between Ibersol Angola and Caritas Angola dates back to 2012 and has seen several projects aimed at improving the quality of life of vulnerable families in the country's poorer communities.

Through a very dynamic internal event it was also possible to vaccinate all our employees against Covid-19 with two doses. This was an initiative in which we were pioneers.
Finally, and still in the field of community outreach, the group continued to send its used oils to be recycled and turned into soap for poor communities.
Ibersol is a multi-brand Group which aims to provide its clients with unique restaurant experiences. Good experiences are the cornerstone for relationships of trust, a crucial asset with impact across the whole organisation.
The group has clear strategic goals invested in the "Client" asset, in their level of satisfaction, the feedback they seek, evolutions in their consumption behaviour, wishes and expectations regarding the products and services made available to them. This focus helps identify which trends to follow faster and more clearly, which concepts to expect, how to innovate the offer, opening the way for greater complementarity with the client and strengthening the company's competitive position.
The year 2020 presented the Group with a major challenge in terms of client relationships, because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent closure of some of the restaurants and/or distribution channels. Nonetheless, the Ibersol Group's performance continues to be guided by its focus on the client, with the necessary adaptations, to ensure maximum safety conditions.
Customers are the Ibersol Group's raison d'être. The trust and preference that characterise us are the result of constant work on client satisfaction during the whole of the relationship with the Group's brands.
In this context, the Ibersol Group is dedicated to the daily and in-depth study of each client profile, seeking to identify the best practices to keep up with consumption trends, adapting and changing different units, in terms of space, products and services as well as internal procedures, information systems and new concepts.
To stay in touch with customer experiences, the Group constantly measures and monitors the quality of service at its restaurants and services. We resort to several tools for this purpose, namely:
In Portugal, 86 quality audits were carried out through this programme.
Over 142,500 clients' opinions were processed through answers to this online satisfaction survey.
At the same time, all complaints received were carefully analysed, providing critical management indicators that support corrective acts and continued improvement.
During 2021 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, launching a new edition of Menu10, an interactive tool and exclusive Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages for customers of the brands that took part (Burger King, KFC, Pans & Company, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Miit, Pasta Caffé, Ó'Kilo, and SOL).
Food quality and safety are essential values in the modern restaurant business. Their full and exhaustive application set the groundwork for overall sustainability.
With this in mind, the group monitors consumption trends and client expectations so that means and tools can be strengthened and improved every year, with the goal of providing an overall atmosphere of trust among those who visit our restaurants.
Ensuring that its stakeholders benefit from the maximum readiness and satisfaction in terms of food safety and quality in all markets, is part of the Ibersol Group's sustainability policy. For this reason, the Group uses an integrated food quality and safety management system all along the value chain.
In 2021 the Ibersol Group continued its process of continuous improvement, according to the principles and certification norms that it adheres to, in order to guarantee food quality and safety, and client satisfaction.
In this context the following deserve special mention:
a) FSCC 22000 Certification (Version 5.1) of the Group's central production unit – IBERGOURMET - PRODUTOS ALIMENTARES, S.A. (UCP Modivas), a very demanding GFSI norm in food safety requirements:

Within the framework of the pandemic, with the aim of minimising health risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and guaranteeing clients' trust and business continuity, the Group carried over the Safety Covid programme from the year before.
The strict prevention measures earmarked by the Authority for Labour Conditions (ACT), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the World Health Organisation (WHO), as well as all applicable Covid-19 control legislation continued to be adhered to in all Ibersol Group restaurants.
The results of this programme, with all 312 units certified with the SAFETY Covid Seal, are a sign of the efficiency of implemented processes and, therefore, of the safety of the product facilities and services provided.
Within a framework of difficulties in global supply chains, and restrictions on purchase and distribution of raw-materials, and from a perspective of partnership with our suppliers and a view to minimising the risks inherent to the entire chain, the Ibersol Group remained committed to continuing the audit programme and the food safety certifications of suppliers, product control (with suppliers, brands and authorities) and Group restaurant certification processes.
In this setting it should be stressed that 100 product suppliers and 6 logistics operators were involved in the Group and international brands auditing programmes and/or in the food safety certification according to international (GFSI) norms.
Pertaining to Ibersol's operations, certification according to international norms was maintained/renewed, with special emphasis on:
⮚ FSCC Version 5.1 certification of the IBERGOURMET - PRODUTOS ALIMENTARES, S.A. (UCP Modivas) central production unit.
As of the end of 2020, the Ibersol Group holds certification according to 5 international norms, in 3 markets:
According to the principles of transparency and client communication, information on possible allergens present in the more than 3.000 products and raw-materials used in our kitchens is readily available in all our restaurant units. Said information is also available on the brands' websites and on www.vivabem.pt.
A programme that includes all the Group's brands and whose mission is to spread information on nutrition, food safety, sports, and well-being, for a healthier lifestyle.
Clients can explore various dimensions of this programme through the www.vivabem.pt/site and https://vivabemoblog.wordpress.com website and blog.

2022 is expected to be another very challenging year, with high levels of uncertainty.
Besides the uncertainty linked to recovery of the effects of the pandemic, global geopolitical tension, due to the military conflict in Ukraine, led to a worsening of inflation levels in food, energy, and transport.
Recent IMF forecasts point to a growth of 4% of GDP in Portugal, and 4.8% in Spain, which indicates a slower recovery than previously predicted.
In this context, staying the course of economic recovery is directly linked to the recovery of global confidence levels amongst consumers, both from a health and safety perspective, and of available income.
Despite the slowing of the recovery pace in the first quarter of 2022 – due to the Omicron strain in January, and because of the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on consumers' trust in March – forecasts for 2022 are still positive, and up to the present date there has already been a steep increase in population mobility, which foreshadows a swifter recovery in regions with high tourism demand.
Boosting our balance was crucial in the context of the pandemic, and the Ibersol Group believes that it is now better positioned to face upcoming challenges, so as to minimise the impacts of the economic context and to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders, customers, staff, suppliers, investors, and civil society.
For 2022 we expect to continue the plans to open new restaurants of Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell brands.
In the financial year of 2021 Ibersol SGPS, S.A. recorded a consolidated net result of 31.337.148,21 Euros and a net result in individual accounts of 4.505.042 Euros.
The Board of Directors proposes the following application of results:
| Legal Reserve | 225.000,00€ |
|---|---|
| Dividends | 4.280.042,00€ |
Taking in consideration the fact that over the last two years there was no distribution of dividends, which meant a sharp loss for shareholders, the Board of Directors decided to propose a distribution of 0,135€ per share, which represents the distribution of free reserves in the amount of 1.929.985,00€, to be added to the distribution of profit for the year.
If the company holds own shares, the aforementioned allocation of 0,135€ for each share in circulation will be maintained, reducing the overall amount of dividends attributed.
The beginning of the military conflict sparked by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February has led to high human and material losses, and caused a massive exodus of the population from the affected territories.
This situation unleashed greater uncertainty regarding the global evolution of economies and financial markets making it likely that: i) prices of fossil fuels and cereals will increase; ii) interest rates will be more volatile, and inflation rates will rise; iii) cyberattacks will increase, which could affect public and private entities in countries that showed support for Ukraine and imposed sanctions on Russia.
In this context, it having proved impossible to predict the potential effects of the operation, the Group is keeping a close eye on how things progress and is taking measures it considers to be adequate for the situation. To date no significant impacts on financial statements as of 31 December, 2021 have been identified, as the group has no exposure to these markets.
At the end of January 2022, BK Portugal made public its decision to terminate the Burger King development contract in Portugal, invoking a breach in the obligation to open 2 restaurants and refurbish 3 restaurants in 2021 (besides the 12 opened and the 7 refurbished in 2021). The three refurbishments were already carried out in 2022 and the two restaurants are in the final stages of completion.
This decision does not affect the operation of open restaurants, but only the loss of the right to build 27 new restaurants until 2023.
On 10 March, 2022, the Ibersol Group and the Restaurant Brands Iberia, S.A. began exclusive negotiations for a potential purchase of Burger King branded restaurants operated in Portugal and Spain by an Enterprise Value worth 250 million euros on a cash and debt-free basis that can be increased by up to 7 million euros, regarding the potential use of tax credits.
At the present date, the confirmatory due diligence process is in progress, as well as the obtaining of internal authorisations and external funding by the proponent entity, which are conditional on the proposal received.
The Ibersol Group will continue to operate the 157 Burger King branded restaurants which it owns in the Iberian market, according to the best quality and service standards, and to the respective contracts in force.
On March 4th of 2022, the "Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona (Sección 4ª) issued the "Auto nº 68/2022" under the "Recurso de Apelación 1168/2021-J", arising from the "Pieza Separada de Measures Coetáneas 16/2021-CB" processed before the "Juzgado de Primera Instancia e Instrucción no. and according to which the rent amounts to be paid in the years 2020, 2021 and following, are calculated according to the rebalancing formula proposed by Pansfood, SAU.The application of said formula means that the rent payable in 2020 and 2021 is around 2.4 million euros lower than the amounts already settled by AENA under Law 13/2021, of 1 October. Likewise, the application of the formula will have an impact on the results of the coming years. In view of the content of the aforementioned order, the Board of Directors considers it feasible that the formula provided for in the aforementioned precautionary measure be adopted in the judgment that may be handed down in the ongoing judicial process.

Once again, this year the Board of Directors would first of all like to express its appreciation to all the Group's employees and brand franchises, following a year marked by a great effort by the entire team towards recovery and resilience.
Everyone, without exception, understood the great challenge we had to face and together we carved out a path of recovery, business reconstruction, and resilience.
This was a year in which our customers returned to our restaurants, immediately following the lifting of restrictions, and in a clear sign of trust showed their preference for our brands. This was only possible due to the cooperation and support of our franchisees, our suppliers, and other partners.
This year we must also address a special word of thanks to the banking institutions that have remained by our side over the years and, especially, to all those who played an important role in our share capital increase operation. A decisive factor in this operation was the trust deposited by our Shareholders in the Ibersol Group, and for which we are very grateful.
Finally, the assiduous cooperation and capacity for dialogue shown by the Audit Committee, Auditors and Statutory Auditor when monitoring and examining the company's management must also be acknowledged.
Porto, 29 April, 2022

The Board of Directors is responsible for performing all the administration acts related with the corporate object, determining the Company's strategic guidelines, and appointing and overseeing the work of the Executive Committee, no specialized committees having been formed by the Board. The Executive Committee coordinates the operations of the functional units and the Company's various businesses, meeting with the senior managers of these units and businesses on regular basis.
The Statutory Audit Committee is responsible for auditing the Company's activity in accordance with law and Company's By-laws.
The diversity and consolidated professional experience of the Board of Director's Members and of the Statutory Audit Committee Member's are described respectively in the following points 19. and 33.
The rules on the procedural and material requirements applicable to the appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors are stated in articles 8, 9, 10 and 15 of the By-laws.
The Board of Directors is composed of an even or uneven number of members, with a minimum of three and a maximum of nine, elected by the General Meeting. A number of substitutes equal to one-third of the number of effective directors may also be elected.
For a number of Directors not exceeding one third of the body, a preliminary and isolated election will be carried out, among persons proposed in lists subscribed by a group of shareholders, provided that none of these groups has shares representing more than 20% and of less than 10% of the share capital. Each list must propose at least two candidates for each post to be filled and a shareholder cannot subscribe more than one list. If, in a isolated election, lists are presented by more than one group, the vote will decide on all the lists taken together.
In the event of death, resignation or temporary or permanent disability of a director, the Board of Directors shall arrange for a replacement. Where a director elected under the rules set forth in the preceding paragraph is no longer and definitely available, a replacement shall be elected by the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors may, by resolution, increase the share capital in accordance with the provisions of article 4 of the Company's Bylaws, and the share capital may be increased up to one hundred million euro, one or more times, through this resolution in which will be determined the form, subscription conditions and categories of shares to be issued from among those provided for in the Company's Bylaws or others permitted by law.
The rules applicable to other amendments to the Company's bylaws are set out in Articles 85.º, 383.º, n.º 2, and 386.º, n.º 3 and 4 of the Commercial Companies Code (CSC), beeing subject to deliberation by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
The Board of Directors is currently composed of five members, the executive members being the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman. The Board of Directors shall choose its own chairman if this one has not been appointed by the General Meeting at the time of its election. The Board of Directors may specifically appoint one or more directors to handle certain matters. On 31 December 2021 the Board of Directors was composed by the following members:
Chairman – Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira; Vice-Chairman – Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa; Member - Eng.ª Maria Deolinda Fidalgo do Couto; Member – Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero de Bonifaz; Member - Dr.ª Maria do Carmo Guedes Antunes de Oliveira;
All members were elected at the General Meeting held on June 18, 2021 for the four-year period of the 2021- 2024 corporate year, also mentioning that the requirement of a balanced composition in terms of gender of the governing bodies, in accordance with the quotas system, has its direct applicability verified - the company having observed these gender quotas in this new electoral act of 18/06/2021 under the terms of Law nº 62/2017 of 1 August.
The date of the first appointment to exercise the respective mandate took place in 1997 (Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira), in 1991 (Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa), in 2021 (Eng. Maria Deolinda Fidalgo do Couto), in 1999 (Prof. Dr. Juan Carlos Vazquez-Dodero de Bonifaz) and in 2021 (Dr. Maria do Carmo Guedes Antunes de Oliveira);
The statutory term of office is four years, as set out in article 27 of the Company's Bylaws.
The Board of Directors may also delegate the current management of the Company in one or more directors or an executive committee, under the terms and within the legal limits. The Board of Directors will be responsible for regulating the functioning of the Executive Committee and the way in which it will exercise the powers entrusted to it.
The Company's management body is composed by five directors, with an Executive Committee composed respectively of Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira (President) and Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa (Vice-President), being a body also composed of three members who are non-executive members and the majority of these non-executive members, Professor Dr. Juan Carlos Vazquez-Dodero de Bonifaz and Dr. Maria do Carmo Guedes Antunes de Oliveira not beeing associated with specific interest groups, either of the Company or of its reference shareholders, not having any relevant interests liable to collide or interfere with the free exercise of its corporate mandate, further mentioning that no internal control committee has been set up.
The non-executive member and vogal, Prof. Dr. Juan Carlos Vazquez-Dodero de Bonifaz, is a director of related companies, in which he does not perform any executive functions. He does not carry out any activities or businesses with the Company, within the meaning of articles 397 and 398 of the Companies Code (CSC) and meets the other requirements for independence stated in art 414.5 of the CSC, in particular as stated in the
European Commission Recommendation of 15 February 2005, once that Recommendation, about the independence requirement, determined, in its point number 13, that an administrator must be considered independent if he has no business, family, or other relations with the company, either with the control shareholders, as well with the directive bodies of any of them – that can create a conflict of interest that undermine his judgment. These independence requirements are complete fulfilled by the non-executive member of Board of Directors, Prof. Juan Carlos Vazquez-Dodero de Bonifaz, and so this is an independent member.
The above mentioned non-executive director, as a non-executive director of the Board of Directors of companies included in or linked to the Ibersol Group, does not collaborate or interferes with the current management of those companies, neither provides any other type of services to any of these companies and has no other type of commercial relationship (material or non-material), whether of service provision or another nature, and is not a beneficiary of any kind of remuneration beyond that received annually as a nonexecutive director of Ibersol, SGPS, SA - reasons why this director is considered to be independent, noting that this non-executive member has been exercising the respective position continuously since 1999 as a result of a successive election held at subsequent general elections - without this circumstance having been susceptible to affect or condition, in any aspect, his necessary exemption of analysis and decision, during the respective mandates and until the present date.
As for the non-executive Director Dr. Maria do Carmo Guedes Antunes de Oliveira, she fulfills all the necessary independence requirements in the exercise of her respective position in this same corporate Board of Directors. As for the non-executive Director, Engª Maria Deolinda Fidalgo do Couto, she holds this position having the respective employment contract with Ibersol SGPS, SA. as Director of Management Control and Finance Group started on 10/23/1990 - suspended since the date of her appointment at the General Meeting of June 18, 2021 as a non-executive member of the Board of Directors of Ibersol SGPS, SA., so she does not fulfill the independence criteria in this scope.

The rules applicable to amendment of the By-laws of the Company are those set forth in articles 85 ff. and 383 ff. of the Companies Code (CSC).
The values and principles of Ibersol Group, disseminated and rooted in the culture of its collaborators, rely in the absolute respect and adoption of good conduct rules and transparency in management of conflicts of interests and due diligence duties and confidentiality in relations with third parties.
The Company has a policy in place for the receipt of reports, claims or complaints about irregularities detected in the Company. As set forth in the Regulations of the Statutory Audit Committee, which are published on the Company's website, this organ keeps a written record of reports of irregularities that are addressed to it, and, when considered appropriate, takes the necessary steps together with the Board of directors and the auditors, and prepares a report on the irregularities. So, this kind of irregularities may be reported to the Statutory Audit Committee without anonymity and being reported directly to the Company, by means of its reference to the Statutory Audit Committee. The Company will send the reports received to the Chairman of the Statutory Audit Committee, ensuring confidentiality.
During 2021 the Statutory Audit Committee did not receive any reports of irregularities.
Ibersol does not have autonomous internal audit and compliance services.
Risk management, as part of the company's culture, is present in all processes and is the responsibility of all managers and employees at the different organization levels.
Risk management is undertaken with the goal of creating value by managing and controlling uncertainties and threats that may affect the Group companies, with a view to the continuity of operations, to take advantage of business opportunities.
As part of strategic planning are identified and evaluated the risks of the existing businesses portfolio and the development of new businesses and relevant projects and defined those risks management strategies.
At the operational level, are identified and evaluated the risks management objectives of each business and planned actions to manage those risks that are included and monitored in the plans of business and functional units.
With regard to security risks of tangible assets and people are defined policies and standards, and the selfcontrol of its application is made, being conducted external audits to all units and implemented preventive and corrective actions for the identified risks.
In order to ensure compliance of the established procedures is performed regularly assessing of the main internal control systems of the group. For specific business aspects there are risk areas whose management has been assigned to functional departments.
Internal control and the monitoring of internal control systems are overseen by the Executive Committee.
The Group does not have autonomous services of Audit and Compliance.
The Statutory Audit Committee evaluates the functioning of the internal control and risk management systems, supervising its business plan, receiving periodic information on its work, evaluating the conclusions and issuing the guidelines it deems necessary.
The External Auditor verifies the effectiveness and functioning of internal control mechanisms in accordance with a work plan in line with the Statutory Audit Committee, to whom also reports its conclusions.
There are Central Functions - Quality, Human Resources, Planning and Management Control and Financial Units – that reporting to the Executive Committee, promote, coordinate and facilitate the development of risk management processes.
The Board of Directors considers that the Group is exposed to the normal risks arising from its activity, namely at the level of the restaurants.
The corporate reality of the Ibersol Group is, due the nature of its activity, highly volatile, permanently exposed to challenges, transformations and changes, which impose an accelerated management rhythm. The year 2021, with the propagation of new waves and the emergence of new variants of Covid-19, was an atypical and highly conditioned year.
Ibersol's business, like any retail business, is exposed to the instability of the economic environment as well as the evolution of consumer preferences. Strategic risk management involves the monitoring of macroeconomic indicators, studies of consumer trends, studies of the catering market with consumer surveys and monitoring of competition activity in the different markets where the Group operates.
In the annual Planning process all these factors are reassessed and macroeconomic trends are analysed. Internationalization of businesses, strict control of costs, launching of new concepts, distribution channels, products and promotions adapted to changes in consumer profiles are some of the initiatives aimed at mitigating this risk.
With the acquisition of the Eatout Group, Ibersol has a significant part of its turnover in airport concession areas. The concessions are awarded by tender for a certain period of time, so the Group may or may not guarantee the renewal of these contracts, which may affect its turnover and profitability.
Operating various international brands under the franchise system, the Group enters into long-term franchise agreements (20 years or 10 + 10 years) and, after the respective term, have been renewed, although there is no such requirement. The group seeks to fulfil all obligations associated with contracts and maintain a good relationship with franchisors as a way to minimize the risk of non-renewal.
Periodically development contracts are negotiated that guarantee the right to open new restaurants. In case of non-compliance with the opening plans provided for in these contracts, franchisors may terminate their development contracts.
Operational risks are closely linked to the activity of restaurants: supply management (supply and logistics), stock management, fund management, and the efficiency and safety of resource and asset utilization. The adequacy and scope of the control procedures are monitored and revised whenever necessary.
Due to the specificities of the Business, there are areas of risk whose current management has been allocated to functional departments, namely:
In the restaurants business, the risk associated with hygiene and food safety is of primordial importance.
The management of this area of risk is overseen by the Quality Unit and is aimed primarily by adopting a responsible proactive approach, following the prevention principles, training, monitoring of indicators and continuous improvement in order to minimise risks with an impact on consumers health.
The main management dimensions of this risk area are:
qualification and selection of Suppliers and Products in food quality and safety area and a Programme of Periodic Inspections of Suppliers, Products and Services;
ensuring the effectiveness of the Traceability System;
maintenance and monitoring of measurement devices;
food crisis management System, which is used to monitor existing food warning systems at all times and take immediate action when necessary;
Continuous Improvement System, supported, among other instruments, by external audit programs in all units of the Group; microbiological analysis programs for raw materials and final products, carried out by sampling by an accredited external entity; Complaints Handling System. Also noteworthy are the certification audits and the certification itself in the standards NP EN ISO 9001: Quality Management System and NP EN ISO 22000: Food Safety Management System that ensure the demand and guarantee of compliance with international requirements quality and food safety.
Viva Bem Program, through which Customers can obtain information on the Ibersol Group's Food Safety System and on healthy eating habits, guaranteeing them, in a transparent way, the knowledge necessary to make the most appropriate choices for their lifestyle.
In 2021, following the Covid-19 pandemic, specific risks in this regard were identified and managed.
The Directorate of Labour Relations and Legal-Labour is responsible for managing processes related to work risks and promoting the well-being at work. The risks of accidents at work or occupational diseases are managed through the following programs and measures:
Risk assessment in the workplace and investigation of work accidents;
Information and consultation with employees on Safety and Health at Work;
Training on safety and health promotion principles in the process of integrating employees, recertification and changing roles;
Implementation of Self-protection Measures in the units of the Ibersol Group;
Awareness and recognition programs for good safety and health promotion practices;
Audit programs to control principles and practices in the workplace.
Due to the pandemic caused by the new Coronavirus or SARS-COV-2 (Covid-19), in 2020, a Contingency Plan was implemented, prepared by a multidisciplinary team, as well as all the procedures and prevention measures defined in this scope and aimed at mitigating the risks of contagion by the biological agent in question.
It is the responsibility of the Finance Department to manage the various financial risks inherent to the unpredictability of the markets to which the Group is naturally exposed, namely foreign exchange, interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. The steps taken by the Finance Department work to minimize the adverse effects of these possible risks:
In this regard, the Ibersol Group pursues a policy of natural hedging, using local currency financing. Since it is essentially present in the Iberian market, bank loans are mostly denominated in euros and the volume of purchases, outside the Euro Zone, does not assume relevant proportions.
It should be noted that the main source of exposure comes from the investment outside the euro zone of the operation in Angola, which is still small and in the process of losing weight in the group's activity. The remaining financings contracted by the Angolan subsidiaries are denominated in local currency, the same in which the income is generated. In view of the limitations on payments abroad, the Group adopted, in the past, a policy of monthly monitoring of credit balances in foreign currency and its full coverage with the acquisition of Treasury Bonds of the Republic of Angola, indexed to the USD. Actually and in the last two years, operators in general have access to foreign exchange with relative ease.
Except for the Angolan State Treasury Bonds, the Ibersol Group has no interest-bearing assets with significant interest. Accordingly, the income and cash flows of the investment activity are substantially independent of changes in the market interest rate. With regard to the Angolan State Treasury Bonds, indexed to the US Dollar, interest is fixed, so there is no risk either.
The Ibersol Group's main interest rate risk arises from liabilities, particularly long-term borrowings. Loans issued at variable rates expose the Group to the risk of cash flows associated with the interest rate. Loans issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value risk associated with the interest rate.
At the current level of interest rates, the Group's policy is, in mature loans, to fix interest rates up to 30% of the outstanding amount.
In the Group's main business, sales are paid in cash, or debit or credit card, so the Group does not have relevant credit risk concentrations.
In relation to customers, the risk is limited to the Catering, sales through aggregators and Franchisees, which represents around 6% of consolidated turnover. The Group began to monitor receivables more regularly with the aim of:
i) control the credit granted to customers;
ii) analyse the age and recoverability of receivables;
iii) analyze the risk profile of customers;
Liquidity risk management implies the maintenance of sufficient cash and bank deposits, the feasibility of consolidating floating debt through an adequate amount of credit facilities and the ability to liquidate market positions. The management of cash requirements is based on annual planning, which is reviewed quarterly and adjusted on a daily basis. In accordance with the dynamics of the underlying business, the Ibersol Group has been performing a flexible management of commercial paper and the negotiation of credit lines available at all times.
The Company seeks to maintain a level of own capital appropriate to its principal business (cash sales and supplier credit) and ensure its continuity and expansion.
The balance of the capital structure is monitored based on the financial leverage ratio (defined as:net remunerated debt / net remunerated debt + equity) with the aim of placing it between 50% -75%.
Risk management in the environmental area falls within the domain of the Quality Department, responsible for implementing and reinforcing sustainability concepts with a view to adopting more sustainable and efficient practices in all aspects of the Ibersol group's activity.
In this context, there are several measures implemented in the promotion of responsible and proactive behaviors and procedures that distribute shared value to the business, environment and society, in areas considered as priorities, namely the circular economy and waste management, the preservation of resources and reducing the ecological footprint.
It is also worth noting the recertification in the NP EN ISO 14001: 2015 Standard - Environmental Management Systems, in different business areas of the Group, which attests to the commitment of the entire structure to reinforce its environmental performance in managing the impact of its activities, namely by optimizing the use of natural resources, protecting the environment and reducing the ecological footprint
Ibersol and its subsidiaries have a Management and legal advisory function in permanent coordination with the other central and business functions, in order to preventively ensure the protection of the Group's interests and the fulfillment of the legal duties and obligations within the scope of the corporate activity. Legal advice is also guaranteed, at national and international level, by external professionals of recognized competence.
The evolution of private consumption influences the sales of restaurants. The company adopted strict cost control with a monthly monitoring of market developments and the consequent review of the planning of resources to be used, in order to lessen the impact of eventual fluctuations in consumption.
On the other hand, operating in the food industry, possible epidemics or distortions in the supply markets, changes in mobility and consumption patterns can have important impacts on contractual compliance and financial statements.
As a structured approach, Risk Management is integrated throughout the Group's planning process. Its purpose is to identify, evaluate and manage the opportunities and threats that Ibersol's businesses face in pursuit of their value creation goals.
In the context of strategic planning, the risks of the business portfolio, as well the risks of development of new businesses and the implementation of the most important projects are identified and assessed, and strategies to manage those risks are defined.
At operational level, the risks of each business are identified and assessed and actions are planned to manage those risks. These actions are included and monitored within the scope of business plans and functional units.
As regards the risks to the security of tangible assets and persons, policies and standards have been established and are monitored to ensure compliance. All units are subject to external audits and preventive and corrective measures are taken in respect of the risks that have been identified.
To ensure compliance with the established procedures, the Group's main internal control systems are evaluated periodically.
The Company does not have any internal audit services reporting directly to the Statutory Audit Committee (given the classic model adopted), the necessary compliance services being overseen by the individual departments of the company. Organizationally and functionally, the various Directions of the Group are directly responsible for compliance services to the Board of Directors and to the Supervisory Audit Committee and the persons responsible are duly identified in the Company's organization chart, it is necessary to reaffirm that they perform in interaction with both the Supervisory Board and the non-executive Directors of the Company, reporting functionally to the same Directors, regardless of the hierarchical relationship that these departments maintain with the Executive Management of the Company.
The External Audit assesses and reports the risks of reliability and integrity of the accounting and financial information, thus validating the internal control system established in the Group and which is materialized in the clear separation between those who prepare and their users and in the performance of various procedures of validation throughout the process of preparing and disclosing financial information.
Within the scope of Audit Services, the external auditor meets with the different departments of the Group, at least twice a year to analyze and review the internal control system, submitting a Report to the Statutory Audit Committee for subsequent discussion with the Board of Directors.
Regarding the risk in the process of financial information disclosure, only a restricted number of employees is involved in the disclosure process. All those who are involved in the process of financial analysis of the Company are considered to have access to inside information and are specially informed of their obligations in this precise scope.
The system of internal control of the accountability, preparation and disclosure of financial information rests on the following key elements:
the use of accounting principles, as set forth in the notes to the accounts, is one of the bases of the control system;
the plans, procedures and records of the Company and its subsidiaries offer a reasonable guarantee that only duly authorized transactions are recorded and that they are recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
the financial information is analysed systematically and regularly by business unit management (supported by the Management Control Department) and by the heads of the profit centres, ensuring continuous monitoring and the necessary budgetary control;
a timetable is previously established for the preparation and review of information, the work is divided up among the various areas involved and all the documents are reviewed in detail. This includes a review of the principles used, verification of the accuracy of the information produced and a check of consistency with the principles and policies used in previous years
the accounting records and the preparation of the financial statements are overseen by the central Accounting function. The financial statements are prepared by the accountants and are reviewed by the Administrative Unit;
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis by the central Consolidation function, which conducts an additional reliability check;
The financial information, annual Report and financial Statements are reviewed by the Financial Unit and submitted to the Board of Directors for final review and approval. Once the documents have been approved, they are sent to the external auditor, which issues its Legal Accounts certification and External Audit Report.
The Statutory Auditor carries out an annual audit and a half-yearly limited review of the individual and consolidated accounts. Also, each quarter it conducts a summary examination of the quarterly information.
The process of preparation of the individual and consolidated financial information and of the Management Report is supervised by the Statutory Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. Quarterly, these bodies meet and analyze the individual and consolidated financial statements and management report. Among the causes of risk that may materially affect financial reporting are the accounting estimates, which are based on the best information available and on the knowledge and experience of current and past events. Balances and transactions with related parties are disclosed in the annex to the financial statements and are associated above all with the Group's operating activities and to lending and borrowing, which is done at market prices.

The Remuneration Committee, following the approval at the last General Meeting of the proposal presented, proceeded to a review of the principles underlying the remuneration of the governing bodies to be applied from the 2022 financial year, taking into account the legislative and recommendatory framework.
These principles reinforce and highlight the aspects of the remuneration policy that are critical for the sustainability of Ibersol's business, in particular:
the international context that makes it possible to measure ("benchmark") the competitive remuneration of corporate bodies and maintain the ability to attract and retain the best talent.
the alignment of remuneration with the responsibilities inherent to the functions performed by the members of the governing bodies, their curriculum and competence.
the desired level of competitiveness of the remuneration package must be in line with market practice as well as internal remuneration policies.
alignment with the remuneration policies and other conditions of the company's workers is guaranteed by comparison with equivalent functions, which confers an adequate level of internal equity and external competitiveness.
the importance of rewarding the commitment to the Group's strategy, the interests of shareholders, the achievement of results and the appropriate attitude and behaviour are taken into account in the company's compensation policies.
The independence of the Committee, together with the permanent monitoring of the benchmark as well as use of external consultancy, is an effective way of avoiding possible conflicts of interest with the members of the governing bodies.
With regard to the organization of the Board of Directors, the following characteristics were especially considered by the Remuneration Committee:
the existence of an Executive Committee responsible for the current management of the Company
the possible existence of directors with executive functions who do not belong to the Executive Committee
the possibility of creating new committees, namely specialized committees in which non-executive directors are invited to participate
Taking into account the current organizational model and the aforementioned principles of the remuneration policy, the Remuneration Committee considered the following measures:
To ensure that the remuneration of Directors with executive functions is in line with the best practices in the international market, the importance of maintaining a process of defining objectives and evaluating performance was reinforced, which should be reviewed and/or updated on a regular basis;
Ensuring consistency between the most relevant quantitative performance indicators defined for the annual assessment of the Company's Executive Committee and those that are also considered, in accordance with their responsibilities, in the annual performance assessment of the Company's staff.
The remuneration of non-executive directors will consist of a fixed component that meets the specific responsibilities and availability of directors, and in the case of significant dedication, a variable remuneration may be added, in terms similar to those applicable to executive directors.
For the remuneration of executive directors, a remuneration with a fixed and variable component is foreseen, in the following terms:
(I) The fixed component of the remuneration corresponds to a fixed annual amount, with payment in installments, the respective amount being established according to the assigned responsibilities and the comparison with the market for similar functions;
(II) The variable component corresponds to a maximum annual amount fixed at 100% of the fixed remuneration. The calculation of the amount to be attributed will result from an annual performance evaluation that will take into account quantitative indicators - in line with the strategic objectives and business plans approved by the Company's Board of Directors and qualitative indicators considered fundamental for the sustainability of the business in the long term;
(III) Quantitative objectives weigh 50% in the calculation of individual performance and reflect performance related to the company's real growth and the return generated for shareholders. Financial performance indicators will be weighted in accordance with the Company's strategic priorities, the business context and the evolution of results;
IV) Qualitative individual objectives weigh 50% in the performance calculation. The Committee assesses the actual implementation of transversal projects to the Group's companies that ensure future business competitiveness and long-term sustainability. The measurement indicators are as follows: strategic vision and allocation of resources/investments; organizational health, talent agenda and multi-stakeholder relationships; (V) The allocation of the annual variable component must meet the following criteria:
a) if the individual performance does not meet any of the objectives set (quantitative or qualitative), there will be no allocation of the annual variable component;
b) if the individual performance is equal or superior, in all or some of the objectives, the variable remuneration may fluctuate between 50% and 100% of the maximum value foreseen for the variable remuneration.
(VI) The performance evaluation process of the executive directors is annual, based on concrete evidence that are made available to the Remuneration Committee for regular monitoring of the level of compliance with the approved targets. In accordance with established procedures, the annual performance cycle is concluded with the attribution of the variable component in the first half of the year following the one assessed, after the results for the year have been determined.
The total remuneration (fixed and variable) must ensure a competitive amount in terms of the market and serve as an incentive for individual and collective performance, through the definition of ambitious goals with a view to guaranteeing growth and adequate levels of return for shareholders.
The Committee understands that the remuneration policy adopted is in line with the practices of similar companies. Given the market pressures in the search for talent and skills at an executive level, the Remuneration Committee will periodically analyze competitiveness based on comparative studies carried out by independent entities of recognized competence.
The Remuneration Committee considers that the remuneration of Directors with executive functions is adequate and allows, through the definition of adequate goals, their alignment with the interests of the Company in the long term. Alignment with the Company's long-term interests will be reinforced by the circumstances of two directors jointly being majority shareholders of the Company. For this reason, the Remuneration Committee believes that there is no deferral of the variable remuneration.
If there are specialized committees, the amount paid to the directors who are part of them and who do not exercise executive functions in the company may differ from the others, and the Remuneration Committee may in these cases assign attendance vouchers, bearing in mind that the functions performed imply a greater demand in terms of availability. Fixed remunerations may also be awarded to non-executive directors who are in charge of specific tasks.
The Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary of the General Meeting Board and the Chairman and members of the Supervisory Board will continue to be assigned a fixed annual amount distributed over the different months.
The remuneration of the Statutory Auditor will correspond to the amounts contained in the contract for the provision of auditing services. The respective remuneration must be in line with what is practiced in the market and results from the proposal that was presented to the company during the public consultation.
The Remuneration Committee also intends to point out to the shareholders:
that the Company does not have any share attribution plan or option to purchase shares to managers
there was no remuneration paid in the form of profit sharing, notwithstanding the fact that this matter is being considered.
The company has not adopted any agreements with members of the governing bodies related to the performance of their duties, applicable notice periods, termination clauses or payments associated with the termination of contracts.

1. According to the competence established under article 11º of IBERSOL, SGPS SA.(Ibersol) By- laws, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to determine the general remuneration policy for the Company's positions and, for all the administrative and technician staff.
2. For the sake of transparency and in compliance with the Recommendations relating to the governance of listed companies, the Board of Directors submits this Report to the appreciation of this General Meeting, containing the guidelines it has observed in setting the aforementioned remunerations, in the following terms: a) The policy adopted in setting the remuneration of IBERSOL Managers coincides with that defined for the majority of the Company's employees, in an equitable way, in the sense of equivalence and proportional to the degree of responsibility and individual performance they perform, face to the degree of responsibility of the corporate requirements inherent to that professional performance which is assigned to each the members in their daily and current performance of their respective corporate position;
b) The remuneration of these Directors of the Company essentially comprises a fixed remuneration, under the terms and conditions that are already expressed above in points 69 to 88 of the previous Governance Report, which are highlighted:
The general principles observed are essentially those that result from the law, taking into account the activities actually carried out by the workers and managers in question, also taking into account the economic situation of the company and the conditions that are generally observed for equivalent situations. The functions performed by each one were taken into account, in the broader sense of the activity effectively carried out, having as an evaluative parameter the degree of responsibilities that are assigned to them. The weighting of functions is therefore considered in a broad sense and takes into account different factors, namely the level of responsibility, the time spent and the added value that results for the Ibersol Group from the respective individual degree of institutional performance that is required to each of these members. The size of the company and the degree of complexity, which, in relative terms, is associated with the designated functions, is also a relevant aspect. The combination of the factors that are enumerated and the valuation given to them, makes it possible to ensure not only the interests of the holders themselves, but primarily the performance criteria that are relevant and related to the different degrees of performance requirement and responsibility of each one, taking into account the respective contributions to the company's long-term business strategy, to its current and future interests, and to its sustainability, having been taken into account in this remuneration policy, and in proportionate and balanced equalization in relation to the various functions performed and degree of functional performance – also considering, in equitable terms, the conditions of employment and remuneration of the Group's Workers in the context of the year 2021 and foreseeable future context.
Regarding the annual variation in remuneration, in the performance of the company and its subsidiaries, and in the average remuneration of employees in terms of full-time equivalent of the company, there are no changes or fluctuations in remuneration that are relevant or significant in the last 5 years, and there are no relevant
factors in which there remains a necessary relevance to be considered in comparative terms to this whole context.
There is no number of shares or options on shares granted or offered, nor any conditions for the exercise of any rights in this scope, and there is also no possibility of refunding a variable remuneration, a modality that is not established or fixed.
The remuneration policy that we submit to the appreciation of the Company's Shareholders is, therefore, the one that translates into compliance with the objective parameters set out above, with no information to consider on any departure from the procedures of applying this remuneration policy, which is objectively determined and executed, consisting in the remuneration of the Company's managers and employees for a fixed gross amount, annually paid, until the end of the respective corporate mandate. In setting all remunerations, the general principles mentioned above were observed, in summary: functions performed, current and future company situation, and comparative criteria for equivalent degrees of performance, also considering the degree of autonomy of the respective individual performance, and also been considering the technical and/or economic-financial performance of the various business areas in which the companies operate, as well as the economic-financial performance of IBERSOL.

IBERSOL, SGPS, SA (Group or Ibersol) with head office at Praça do Bom Sucesso, Edifício Península n.º 105 a 159 – 9º, 4150-146 Porto, Portugal. Ibersol's subsidiaries (jointly called "the Group"), operate a network of 621 units in the restaurant segment through the brands Pizza Hut, Pasta Caffé, Pans & Company, Ribs, FresCo, SantaMaria, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King, O' Kilo, Quiosques, Pizza Móvil, Miit, Taco Bell, Sol, Silva Carvalho Catering e Palace Catering, coffe counters and other concessions. The group has 544 units which it operates and 77 units under a franchise contract. Of this universe, 383 are based in Portugal, of which 364 are owned and 1 franchised, and 225 are based in Spain, spread over 152 own establishments and 73 franchisees, and 10 in Angola and 3 in other locations.
Ibersol is a public limited company listed on the Euronext of Lisbon.
Ibersol SGPS parent company and ultimate parent entity is ATPS - SGPS, S.A..
In Spain, on 2 October 2021, Law 13/2021 of October 1st was published, which established the new rules to apply to the minimum rents of lease contracts for restaurants and retail establishments located at airports managed by AENA.
This diploma determines that the guaranteed minimum annual income provided for in these contracts for the period between March 15, 2020 and June 20, both included, be eliminated and from June 21, 2020 and until the annual traffic of each Airport reach the values recorded in 2019, the minimum guaranteed annual rents of existing contracts are reduced in direct proportion to the variation in passenger traffic compared to those verified in 2019.
The difference between Law 13/2021 and the rebalancing claimed by Ibersol lies in the fact that:
• according to the new law, the value of the minimum rent is the rent established in the contract for that year multiplied by the ratio of "airport traffic in the year / 2019 airport traffic", until the 2019 traffic is exceeded. From that date, the RMMG becomes the contractually foreseen for that year.
• according to Ibersol's claim, the aforementioned ratio would be applied to the 2019 RMMG (and not to that forecast for each subsequent year).
As a result of the application of the Ley, it was possible to determine the amounts of the rents payable for the years 2020 and 2021 (less than the contractual rents by, respectively, 23.1 and 20.4 million euros), with future rents being dependent on the traffic that may occur. The new law thus introduces a contractual modification, changing the rents of these contracts to variables, as there is no longer a guaranteed minimum payment. In this sense, such rents are no longer relevant to the lease liability, so as from the date of entry into force of Law 13/2021, the lease liability associated with these contracts was derecognized against the respective right of use, with the difference resulting income has been recognized as a gain in profit or loss for the year.
In terms of the financial position, the application of the law results in a relevant decrease in liabilities and assets, since the leasing contributions associated with the contracts with AENA are therefore recognized as rent and rental expenses from 1 October of 2021.
The impact of the adoption of the new Law 13/2021, on October 1, 2021, on the consolidated statement of financial position and on the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income is presented as follows:

| Income tax (Nota 27) | -16 677 344 | -3 901 033 |
| Net Profit | 44 677 592 | 31 337 148 |
Additionally, under Law 13/2021, the amount of 5.7 million euros was considered in rents for the period from October to December 2021.
As a result of the new rules to be applied to rents and the accounting treatment of liabilities, the Ibersol group carried out a review of the business plans of the concessions in Spain, taking into account the most recent traffic estimates by Eurocontrol, which point to a recovery in 2024 of the 2019 traffic, as well as the effects of the new rules to be applied to the rents of concessions in Spain, as described above. The following impacts were determined on the financial statements:
• recognition of impairments in the CGUs of Gran Canaria and Málaga airports in the amount of 2.1 million euros;
• constitution of a provision for onerous contract, at Gran Canaria airport, in other operating costs, in the amount of 1.6 million euros.
The main accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies have been applied consistently in comparative periods.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the previous Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC), as adopted and effective by the European Union as of 1 January 2021. Regarding Group companies that use different accounting standards, conversion adjustments were made to IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle, changed to fair value in the case of derivative financial instruments.
The preparation of these financial statements requires Management to perform estimates and judgments, as disclosed in Note 4.
2.2.1. The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been approved ("endorsed") by the European Union and are mandatory for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2021:
a) Covid 19 - Rent concessions Amendment to IFRS 16
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Covid-19 – Rent concessions", which amended IFRS 16 Leases. If certain conditions are met, the amendment allows tenants, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether certain Covid-19 related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees who apply the practical expedient must account for these lease concessions as if they were not lease modifications, so that, for example, the amount of lease forgiven on or before June 30, 2021 is recognized in profit or loss. in the same year the concession is granted, rather than being
allocated over the duration of the contract, as would be the case if the practical expedient were not permitted.
The change applied for annual periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020.
In 2021, the IASB has extended the practical expedient by 12 months - i.e. allowing lessees to apply it to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021. 2022
The 2021 changes are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. Renters may apply early.
The 2021 amendments are applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application recognized in retained earnings. The disclosure requirements of Paragraph 28(f) 1 of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors do not apply to initial application.
This change to the standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.
b) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2
In August 2020, the IASB issued the Interest Rate Reference Reform - Phase 2, which amends IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 Leases.
The purpose of the amendments is to help entities provide useful information to users of financial statements and to assist preparers in applying IFRSs when changes are made to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships as a result of a transition from an interest rate IBOR benchmark for alternative benchmark rates, in the context of the ongoing risk-free rate reform ('IBOR reform').
The changes are the result of the second phase of the IASB project that deals with the accounting impacts of the IBOR reform, which gave rise to the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7) issued by the IASB on 26 September 2019. They complement the first phase of the project that addressed the accounting impacts of pre-replacement of the IBOR reform and which were issued by the IASB in 2019.
Changes must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.
This change to the standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.
c) Extension of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS9 (amendments to IFRS 4)
The IASB issued "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from the Application of IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4) on June 25, 2020.
The purpose of the amendments is to extend the expiry date of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 (i.e. to 2023) in order to align the effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.
This change to the standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.
a) References to the Conceptual Framework (amendments to IFRS 3)
In May 2020, the IASB issued "References to the Conceptual Framework", amending IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
The amendments updated IFRS 3, replacing the reference to an older version of the Conceptual Framework with a reference to the most recent version, which was issued in March 2018.
The amendments shall apply to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Early application is permitted if, at the same time or rather, an entity would also apply all changes made in "Changes to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS", issued in March 2018.
The Group/Entity is evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.
b) Tangible fixed assets - Revenue before intended use, amendments to IAS 16 Tangible fixed assets
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Tangible fixed assets – Income before Intended Use", which amended IAS 16 Tangible fixed assets.
The amendments prohibit the deduction from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, of any income from the sale of items produced in bringing that asset into the place and condition necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner intended by management. Instead, the entity shall recognize such sales revenue in profit or loss.
Changes must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.
The Group/Entity is evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.
c) Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract", which amended IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The purpose of the amendments is to clarify the requirements of IAS 37 on onerous contracts regarding the assessment of whether, in a contract, the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the obligations arising from the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it.
The amendments must apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.
The Group/Entity is evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.
d) Improvements in the 2018-2020 cycle
On 14 May 2020, the IASB issued improvements to IFRS 2018–2020 containing the following amendments to IFRSs:
(i) allow an entity, as a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, to adopt IFRS for the first time after its parent and elect to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards , can measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the respective date of transition to IFRS;
(ii) clarify that the reference to fees in the 10 percent test includes only fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the lender on behalf of the other (IFRS 9);
(iii) remove potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives by applying IFRS 16 Leases, as illustrated in Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16; and
(iv) remove the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 Agriculture for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value by applying IAS 41.
The changes will apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted.
The Group/Entity is currently evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.
This change is effective for periods after January 1, 2023.
e) Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosures of Accounting Policies
Following feedback obtained on the need for more guidance to help companies decide on what information to disclose regarding accounting policies, the IASB issued on February 12, 2021 amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements and to the IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Making materiality judgments.
The main changes to IAS 1 include: i) requiring entities to disclose information regarding material accounting policies rather than significant accounting policies, ii) clarifying that accounting policies related to intangible transactions are also immaterial and as such do not need to be disclosed and iii) clarify that not all accounting policies relating to material transactions are themselves material to an entity's financial statements.
The IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and two additional examples on the application of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These changes are consistent with the revised definition of material:
"Information regarding accounting policies is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, it is reasonably expected to influence the decisions that major users of financial statements generally make on the basis of those financial statements."
The changes are effective as of January 1, 2023, but early application is permitted.
f) Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to clarify how entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates, with a primary focus on defining and clarifying accounting estimates.
The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates: clarifying that monetary values in the financial statements are subject to measurement uncertainty.
The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates, specifying that an entity develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective established by an accounting policy. The effects of changes in such data or measurement techniques are changes in accounting estimates.
The changes are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted, and will apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur on or after the start of the first annual reporting period to which the entity applies the changes.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future financial years, were not, until the date of approval of these financial statements adopted ("endorsed") by the European Union:
a) Clarification of the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current (amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements)
The IASB issued on 23 January 2020 an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current and non-current.
The amendments clarify a criterion in IAS 1 for classifying a liability as non-current: the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The changes aim to:
i. specify that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period;
ii. clarify that the classification is not affected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement;
iii. clarify how loan conditions affect the rating; and
iv. clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities that an entity will settle, or may settle, by issuing its own equity instruments.
b) Amendments to IAS 12: deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 - 'Income Taxes' on 7 May 2021.
The amendments require companies to recognize deferred taxes on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences.
In certain circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred taxes when they first recognize assets or liabilities. Previously, there was some uncertainty as to whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning provisions, that is, transactions under which companies recognize an asset and a liability. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply to this type of transactions and that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce the diversity in the disclosure of deferred taxes on leases and provisions for decommissioning.
The changes are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted.
c) Amendments to IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts: initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued an amendment to the scope of the transition requirements of IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts, providing insurers with an option aimed at improving the usefulness of information for investors in the initial application of the new Standard.
The amendment does not affect any other requirements of IFRS 17.
IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments have different transition requirements. For some insurers, these differences may cause temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information they present in the financial statements when applying IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for the first time.
The amendment will help insurers avoid these temporary accounting lags and therefore increase the usefulness of comparative information for investors.
IFRS 17, including this amendment, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
These standards, not yet adopted by the European Union, were not applied by the Group in 2021.
Financial investments in companies in which the Group is exposed or has rights, to variable returns, as a result of its involvement in these companies, and has the ability to influence those returns, through the power over these companies (definition of control used by the Group) , were included in these consolidated financial statements through the full consolidation method. The equity and net income of these companies, corresponding to the participation of third parties, is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income, under the heading non-controlling interests. The companies included in the financial statements are detailed in Note 5.
When the losses attributable to the non-controlling interests exceed the minority interest in the subsidiary's equity, the non-controlling interests absorb this excess, in the% held.
The assets and liabilities of each Group company are identified at their fair value on the acquisition date as provided for in IFRS 3. Any excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is negative, it is recognized as an income for the period.
Transaction costs directly attributable to business combinations are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
Non-controlling interests include the proportion of third parties in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition of the subsidiaries.
Subsequent transactions for the sale or acquisition of interests to non-controlling interests, which do not imply a change in control, do not result in the recognition of gains, losses or goodwill, with any difference determined between the value of the transaction and the book value of the transaction, recognized in Equity, in other equity instruments.
Balances and gains arising from transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction reveals evidence of impairment of a transferred asset. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are changed, whenever necessary, in order to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The Group's interests in entities where the group exercises control jointly with other partners are measured through the equity method, using IFRS 11, from the date when joint control is acquired. The Group integrates its share in assets and liabilities in a heading in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the costs and income of the joint venture in a line in the Consolidated Statement of Income and other comprehensive income. Balances and transactions between Group companies and entities where the group exercises control jointly with other partners are not eliminated in proportion to the control attributable to the Group. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity where the group exercises control jointly with other partners, on the acquisition date, is recognized as a financial investment.
The entities where the group exercises control jointly with other partners are detailed in Note 5.
The existence of significant influence by the Group is usually demonstrated in one or more of the following ways:
Financial investments in associated companies are recorded using the equity method, being included in the consolidated statement of financial position under the heading "Financial investments in associated companies".
Financial investments in associates are subject to impairment tests whenever there are signs of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement by the amount of the excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the highest of an asset's fair value less the costs inherent in its sale and its value in use. For carrying out impairment tests, each participation is analyzed separately. Impairment losses on financial investments in associates are reversible.
The entities that qualify as associates are listed in Note 5.
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities attributable to the Group at the date of the acquisition or the first consolidation. If the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the acquired subsidiary's net assets, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
The Group performs impairment tests on Goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The recognized amount of Goodwill is compared with the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Whenever the book value of Goodwill exceeds its recoverable value, the impairment is immediately recognized as an expense and is not subsequently reversed (note 2.9).
The Group presents the operating segments based on the management information produced internally.
In accordance with IFRS 8, an operating segment is a component of the Group:
(i) that develops business activities from which it can earn revenue and incur expenses;
(ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the Group ("chief operating decision maker") for the purposes of making decisions on the allocation of resources to the segment and the assessment of its performance; and
(iii) for which separate financial information is available.
The group operates in three major segments of activity:
Counters, which comprises units for sale over the counter;
Concessions and catering, which encompasses all other businesses, namely catering activities and units located in spaces under concession.
The segment assets mainly include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Deferred taxes, financial investments and derivatives held for trading or designated as collateral for loans are excluded.
The segment liabilities correspond to operating liabilities. It does not include elements such as income taxes (current and deferred), loans and related hedging derivatives.
Unallocated assets and liabilities (Note 6) are not included in the measurement of assets and liabilities of the segments analyzed by the main person responsible for making operational decisions and are analyzed from a centralized perspective of the group.
Investments include additions to property, plant and equipment (Note 8) and intangible assets (Note 9).
Investments are allocated, in terms of segments, according to this type of business.
The Financial Statements of each group entity are prepared using the currency of the region in which the entity operates ("working currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro. Ibersol's working currency and the Group's reporting currency.
Exchange differences resulting from the settlement of monetary items or from the conversion of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were converted at initial recognition or, in previous financial statements, are recognized in the income statement, unless they result from monetary items that are part of net investment in a foreign operation. In this case, exchange differences are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and are reclassified from equity to the consolidated net income for the period on the total or partial disposal of that operating unit.
Exchange differences related to (financial) financing transactions are recorded as financial costs or income. Exchange differences related to operating activities are recorded under the heading "Other operating income / (costs)".
Financial statements assets and liabilities of foreign entities are converted to Euro through the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Profit and loss as well as the cash flows statements are translated into Euro through the average exchange rate recorded during the period. The resulting exchange difference is recorded in equity under the heading "Exchange rate reserves".
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities of that entity and translated into Euro according to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
When a foreign entity is disposed, the accumulated exchange rate difference is recognised in the income statement as a gain or loss on disposal.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020 the exchange rate used for conversion of transactions and balances denominated in Kwanzas in were, respectively:
| Dec/21 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Euro exchange rates | (x | Rate on December, | Average interest rate | |
| foreign currency per 1 Euro) | 31 2021 | year 2021 | ||
| Kwanza de Angola (AOA) | 635,728 | 705,219 | ||
| Dec/20 |
| Euro exchange rates | (x | Rate on December, | Average interest rate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| foreign currency per 1 Euro) | 31 2020 | year 2020 | ||
| Kwanza de Angola (AOA) | 796,813 | 703,730 |
Buildings and other constructions include own properties assigned to restaurant activities and expenses on works at third-party properties, in particular those required for setting up restaurant shops.
Property, plant and equipment are presented at the acquisition cost, net of the respective amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
The historic cost includes all expenses attributable directly to the acquisition of goods.
Costs with loans incurred and with loans obtained for the construction of property, plant and equipment are recognized as part of the construction cost of the asset.
Subsequent costs are added to the amounts for which the good is recorded or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the company will obtain the underlying economic benefits and the cost may be reliably measured. Other expenses on repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of assets is calculated by the equal annual amounts method in order to allocate its cost at its residual value, according to its estimated useful life, as follows:
| - Buildings and other constructions | 10-35 years* |
|---|---|
| - Equipment: | 10 years |
| - Tools and utensils: | 4 years |
| - Vehicles: | 5 years |
| - Office equipment: | 10 years |
| - Other property, plant and equipment: | 5 years |
(*) Two buildings owned by the Group have an estimated useful life of up to 50 and 40 years.
The amounts which assets may be depreciated, their lifetime and the depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted if necessary on the consolidated statement of financial position date. Changes in lifetime are treated as a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.
If the accounted amount is higher than the asset's recoverable amount, it is immediately readjusted to the estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.9).
Gains and losses consequent to a reduction or sale are determined by the difference between receipts from the sale and the asset's accounted value, and are recognised as other operating income or other operating costs in the profit and loss account. When revaluated goods are sold, the amount included in other reserves is transferred to retained profit.
The assets in progress are recorded at acquisition cost less any impairment losses. These assets are amortized as from the moment when the underlying assets are available for use.
Concessions and exploitation rights are presented at historic cost. Concessions and exploitation rights have a finite useful life associated to the contractual periods and are presented at cost minus accumulated impairment and amortisation.
The cost of acquiring software licences is capitalised and includes all costs incurred for acquiring and installing the software available for use. These costs are amortised during the estimated useful life (not exceeding 5 years).
Software development or maintenance costs are recognised as expenses when incurred. Costs associated directly with creating identifiable and unique software controlled by the Group and that will probably generate future economic benefits greater than the costs, for more than one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include personnel costs for developing software and the share in relevant general expenses.
Software development costs recognised as assets are amortised during the software's estimated lifetime (not exceeding 5 years).
Brands acquired in business combinations are reflected at fair value at the date of the concentration (Eat Out group). Brands life cycle was determined considering the benchmark of the sector for brands of this dimension, which in general point to a life cycle of 20 years.
Assets in progress are recorded at acquisition cost less any impairment losses. These assets are amortized as from the moment when the underlying assets are available for use.
Intangible assets that do not have a defined useful life are not subject to amortization but are subject to annual impairment tests (or in each reporting period in which there are signs of impairment). Assets subject to amortization are revaluated to determine any impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that result in the amount at which they are recorded may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income for the amount in excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the highest of an asset's fair value less the costs inherent in its sale and its value in use. For carrying out impairment tests, assets are grouped at the lowest level at which cash flows (cash flow generating units) can be separately identified.
Restaurants negative returns are an indication of impairment, and the subsequent impairment analysis considers the projected cash flows of each store. In the case of recent openings, such initial negative returns may not be representative of the expected return pattern for that store and may not constitute an indication of impairment if such behaviour was expected for that period.
When an asset has an operating performance that exceeds the projections that previously supported the recording of an impairment loss, such loss is reversed to the extent that the value in use based on the updated projections exceeds the carrying amount.
A cash-generating unit (CGU) is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and that generates cash inflows from continued use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. In the case of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use, each restaurant was generally identified as a cash-generating unit. There are, however, other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are not associated with CGU - restaurants. Restaurants with signs of impairment are tested, considering operating results less amortization, depreciation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, as well as other cash-generating units whenever circumstances dictate or unusual facts occur. .
Goodwill is distributed among the units (or group of units) generating the flows (CGU) of the Group, identified in each business segment. The recognized amount of Goodwill is compared with the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. The value in use of a CGU is determined based on cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by managers, covering at least a period of 5 years.
The Board of Directors determines the budgeted gross margin based on past performance and on its market growth expectations. The average weighted growth rate used is consistent with provisions included in the sector's reports. The discount rates used after taxes and reflect specific risks related with the assets from a CGU.
The Group classifies its other financial assets at the time of initial recognition in accordance with the requirements introduced by IFRS 9, in the following asset categories.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective inherent to the business model is achieved by collecting the respective contractual cash flows and if the underlying contractual cash flows represent only the payment of principal and interest. Assets classified in this category are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Loans and accounts receivable from customers are generally held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and it is expected that the underlying contractual cash flows represent only the payment of principal and interest and therefore comply with the requirements for measurement at amortized cost provided for in IFRS 9.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the objective inherent to the business model used is achieved either by collecting contractual cash flows or by selling financial assets and if the he underlying contractual cash flows represent only payment of principal and interest. The assets classified in this category are initially and subsequently measured at their fair value, and the changes in their accounting value are recorded against other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest and when the financial asset is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the income statement.
Financial assets that do not meet the requirements for classification in the situations referred to above are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, residual category under IFRS 9.
Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognized on the date of their negotiation, that is, on the date on which the Group undertakes to acquire or dispose of these financial assets.
Financial assets are derecognised when the Group's contractual rights to the receipt of its future cash flows expire when the Group has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards associated with its detention or when it retains, but not substantially, part of the risks and benefits associated with their detention, the Group has transferred control over the assets.
IFRS 9 establishes a new impairment model based on "expected losses", which replaces the previous model based on "incurred losses" provided for in IAS 39. In this sense, the Group starts to recognize impairment losses before there is objective evidence of impairment. of value resulting from a past event. This model is the basis for the recognition of impairment losses on financial instruments held whose measurement is at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The impairment model depends on the occurrence or not of a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, the Group recognizes an accumulated impairment equal to the expected loss that is expected to occur in the following 12 months. If the credit risk has increased significantly, the Group recognizes an accumulated impairment equal to the expected loss that is estimated to occur up to the respective maturity of the asset.
Once the loss event has been verified under the terms of IFRS 9 ("objective proof of impairment", according to the terminology of IAS 39), the accumulated impairment is directly attributed to the instrument in question, and its accounting treatment, starting from this similar to that provided for in IAS 39, including the treatment of the respective interest. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of losses recognized in the income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment decreases, the amount of impairment losses previously recognized is also reversed in the income statement if the decrease in that impairment is objectively related to the event after the initial recognition.
The Group applies the simplified method and records expected loss to maturity for all its accounts receivable, including those that include a significant financial component. Estimated expected losses were calculated based on the experience of actual losses over a period that, by business or type of customer, were considered statistically significant and representative of the specific characteristics of the underlying credit risk.
For other receivables and financial assets valued at amortized cost, the Group prepares its analyzes based on the general model, assessing at each date whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since the date of initial recognition of such asset. If there has been no increase in credit risk, an impairment corresponding to the amount equivalent to expected losses within a 12-month period is calculated. If there has been an increase in credit risk, the impairment calculation considers the expected losses for all contractual cash flows until the asset's maturity.
It is assumed that there is a significant increase in credit risk (and the determination of impairment for all contractual flows of the asset up to its maturity date) if the debtor's external rating undergoes a material reduction or if a debtor is more than 90 days from the contractual payment date.
The Group makes estimates based on the risk of default and loss rates, which require judgment. The inputs used to assess the risk of losses on these financial assets include:
• credit ratings (to the extent available) obtained through information provided by rating agencies such as Standard and Poor's and Moody's;
• significant changes in expected performance and debtor behavior; and
• data extracted from the market, in particular on probabilities of non-compliance.
Inventories are presented at the lowest value between their cost and the net realisation value. The cost is calculated using the weighted mean cost, and it is equivalent to the acquisition cost deducted from quantity discounts.
Personal alimentation costs are reflected in personnel expenses, against stocks inventory.
The net realisation value corresponds to the estimated sale price during normal business operations, minus variable sale costs.
Accounts receivable and other debtors are initially recognised at the fair value. Medium and long term debts are subsequently measured at the amortised cost, using the effective rate method minus the impairment adjustment.
Debts to suppliers and non-interest bearing third parties are measured at amortized cost so that they reflect their net present value. However, these amounts are not discounted because the effect of their financial update is considerer immaterial.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other investments up to 3 months that can be mobilized immediately, with a low risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows as Cash and Cash Equivalents and in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in current liabilities under the heading "Loans obtained" item.
Ordinary shares are classified in equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the emission of new shares or options are presented in equity as a deduction, net of taxes, of entries.
When any group company acquires shares in the parent company (own shares), the amount paid, including costs directly attributable (net of taxes), is deducted from the equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company until the shares are cancelled, re-issued or sold. When those shares are subsequently sold or re-issued and after deducting directly imputable transaction costs and taxes, any receipt is included in the equity of the company's shareholders.
Loans are recorded in liabilities at the nominal value received, net of expenses with the issue, which corresponds to the respective fair value on that date. Subsequently, they are measured through the amortized cost method, with the corresponding financial charges calculated according to the effective interest rate and recorded in the income statement in accordance with the assumption of accrual basis, with the amounts past due and not settled at the date balance sheet, classified under "Accounts payable" (Note 20).
The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts future payments over the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial liability.
Current income tax is calculated based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation perimeter in accordance with the tax rules in force at the location of the headquarters of each company. In Portugal, the tax estimate (IRC) was calculated according to the Special Regime for Taxation of Groups of Companies (RETGS). In Spain, the current tax of subsidiaries based in Vigo, Madrid and Barcelona (except Cortsfood and Dehesa) was calculated under the special tax regime for economic groups. The remaining subsidiaries, based in Luanda - Angola, calculate their current tax individually, in the light of the regulations in force in the country of their registered office (Note 5).
Deferred taxes are recognized globally using the liability method and calculated on temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their values in the consolidated financial statements. However, if deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination or that at the date of the transaction does not affect either the accounting result or the tax result, it is not accounted for. Deferred taxes are determined by the tax rates (and legal) enacted or substantially enacted on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and which are expected to be applicable in the period of realization of deferred tax assets or settlement of deferred tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to use the temporary difference.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if:
a) has a right of mandatory compliance to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
b) deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes assessed by the same tax authority on or: i) the same taxable entity, or
ii) different taxable entities that intend to either settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which the significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Contingent liabilities are defined by the Company as (i) possible obligations arising from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or not of one or more uncertain future events not wholly under the control of the Company or (ii) present obligations Which arise from past events but are not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation can not be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Company's financial statements and are disclosed in these Notes to the Financial Statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of funds affecting future economic benefits is remote, in case they are not even disclosed.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or not of one or more uncertain future events not wholly under the control of the Company.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the Company's financial statements but are disclosed in these Notes to the Financial Statements when it is probable that there will be a future economic benefit.
In identifying onerous contracts, the group considers whether the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contract exceed the economic benefits expected under such a contract. In the event that an onerous contract is identified, a provision is recognized for the difference between the unavoidable costs and the expected benefits of the contract.
Revenue is measured at the amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive under the contract entered into with the customer.
The revenue recognition model is based on five steps of analysis, in order to determine when the revenue should be recognized and the amount to be recognized:
Revenue is recognized only when the performance obligation is satisfied, which depends on whether the performance obligations are met over time or whether, on the contrary, control over the good or service is transferred to the customer in a given time.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
In most of the Group's sales of goods, there is only one performance obligation, so revenue is recognized immediately, with the delivery of the goods to the customer. A performance obligation corresponds to a commitment to deliver goods or services to customers that are different between.
When evaluating contracts with customers in which a third party is involved, namely at the level of deliverers (home delivery), the Group assesses its relationship between agent and principal, having concluded that with regard to the obligation of performance of delivery of the goods, it acts as an agent, since this performance obligation belongs to the respective aggregators, and in relation to the performance obligation for the sale of goods, Ibersol acts as the principal and the aggregators with an agent, since Ibersol is responsible for its production, manufacture packaging and shipping.
A lease is defined as a contract or part of a contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a certain period, in exchange for a fee.
The Group's leases essentially respect the lease contracts for stores and commercial spaces and for equipment used in these spaces. The Group is also a lessee in vehicle and other equipment leasing contracts. More than 90% of leasing contracts refer to the leasing of spaces whose characteristics differ according to the space in which they are inserted and which, in general, can be summarized:
Leases in Shopping Centers: these are, as a rule, for a period of 6 years, with a fixed monthly income or an income based on monthly sales, if this is greater than the fixed income
Leases in street locations: they are usually for longer periods of 10 to 20 years with a fixed monthly income, and there may be an option to terminate by the lessee for a shorter period. There are other contracts that are concluded for shorter periods and the lessee has the right to successive renewals up to a maximum period that is usually 20 years.
Leases in concession spaces: for the contractual period with a variable rent based on annual sales subject to a guaranteed minimum annual value.
Occasionally, there are variable rent lease contracts or, in the case of Airports in Spain, pursuant to Law 13/2021 in which the minimum annual rents are based on the traffic of the Airports until the traffic of the year 2019 is reached.
With the adoption of IFRS 16, the distinction between operating leases (off balance sheet) and finance leases (included in the balance sheet) has been eliminated at the lessee level, having been replaced by a model in which it is accounted for an asset identified with a right to use and a corresponding liability for all lease agreements.
On the effective date of the lease, the Group recognizes the lease liability at the present value of lease payments that are not paid on that date and the respective right to use.
Payments relating to variable components of the contract are not considered as lease payments, but are recognized as an expense in the year in which they occur. These rents are determined by a percentage of the sales of each space and are incremental compared to the minimum contracted rents.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, exposure to variable lease payments is reduced. For a variation of more than 5% in sales in all the group's restaurants, an increase in total rentals of 0.5% is estimated.
The Group applies the exemption from recognition provided for in paragraph 6 of IFRS 16 to short-term lease contracts and leases where the underlying asset has a reduced value.
The right of use is initially measured at cost and subsequently at the net cost of depreciation and impairment, adjusted by remeasurement of the lease liability.
The right of use is constituted by the initial value of the liabilities with leases and by initial direct costs and payments made to the lessor before the date of entry into force of the lease, less the rental incentives received.
The right of use is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, comprising the non-cancellable period during which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset and (i) the periods covered by an option to extend the lease, if the lessee has a reasonable certainty of exercising this option; (ii) the periods covered by a lease termination option, if the lessee is reasonably certain that it will not exercise that option.
Alternatively, in cases where the Group intends to exercise any existing call options for the underlying asset, the right to use is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Lease liabilities are initially measured based on the present value of the lease liabilities at the date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for the effect of interest and lease payments, as well as for possible changes to lease agreements. Lease payments include payments made to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset during the term lease terms (excluding variable lease payments) and also include the exercise price of a call option, if there is a reasonable expectation that the Group will exercise it, and the amount of penalties for termination of contracts, if it is reasonably certain that the Group triggers the possibility of termination.
To determine the present value of lease payments, in cases where it is not possible to obtain the implicit interest rate, the Group uses the incremental financing rate, which represents the interest rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow for a similar term, and with a similar guarantee, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of an equivalent value to the asset under right of use in a similar economic context.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, taking into account the periods covered by an option to extend the contract if it is reasonable for the Group to exercise it, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the contract, if it is reasonably certain that the Group will not exercise it. The lease term is thus comprised between the minimum corresponding to the non-cancelable period of the contracts and the maximum corresponding to the period during which the contract is enforceable (period after which lessor and lessee are entitled to terminate the lease with no more than a negligible penalty, considering the broader economic circumstances).
In determining the lease term, the Group therefore makes a judgment about the relevant factors that create an economic incentive to exercise the renewal or termination (in cases where such options belong to the lessee and the lessor, the Group exercises judgment about the economic incentives for lessor and lessee). Among other aspects, the Group takes into account:
the value of the non-transferable investments made in each commercial space and the estimate of the recovery period and use of such investments;
if the renewal / termination option takes place in a shorter or more distant time horizon (the shorter the noncancellable period of the contract, the greater the probability that the Group will exercise the renewal option, the opposite being true in the case of contracts with long non-cancelable periods)
conditions for contract renewal – for example with regard to the renewal period or rent conditions
termination penalties
location of assets and existence of viable alternatives to other commercial spaces.
There are no residual value guarantees in the contracts. The main value judgments regarding the future and other sources of uncertainty essentially concern the future profitability perspectives of the stores which, as mentioned above, influence the lease term in cases where there are renewal and/or termination options.
After the start date of the contracts, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that are under its control and that affect its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate (for example, local changes in the consumer market and/or making significant improvements or customization of the leased asset).
In determining the useful life of non-transferable assets, the group considers, among other things, the lease term. Cases in which this useful life exceeds the lease term refer to situations in which the Group estimates, based on history, that a new contractual period will be agreed for that location.
In general terms, there are no relevant inconsistencies between the lease terms of the contracts and the useful life of the respective underlying non-transferable assets.
Lease liabilities are remeasured due to revaluations or changes to the lease.
Interest on leases is shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows, in payments related to cash flows arising from financing activities.
The amendment to IFRS 16 within Covid-19, allowed the use of a practical expedient for tenants, which exempts from the evaluation of the bonuses attributed by the lessors qualify modifications to the leases. The Group opted for the application of this exemption, accounting for changes in rental payments, as variable rental rents in the periods in which the event or condition that led to the reduction in payment occurs.
The practical expedient is only applicable when the following conditions are cumulatively met:
a) the change in lease payments results in a revised fee for the lease that is substantially equal to, or less than, the fee immediately prior to the change;
b) any reduction in lease payments only affects payments due on or before 30 June 2022; and
c) there are no substantive changes to other lease terms and conditions.
The basic profit per share is calculated by dividing the profit payable to shareholders by the weighted mean number of ordinary shares issued during the period, excluding ordinary shares acquired by the company and held as own shares (Note 16).
The profit diluted per share is calculated by dividing the profit payable to shareholders – adjusted by the dividends of convertible preference shares, convertible debt interest and gains and expenses resulting from the conversion – by the average number of ordinary shares issued during the period plus the average number of ordinary shares that may be issued in the conversion of ordinary shares that may be potentially used in the dilution.
Events occurring between the date of the statement of consolidated financial position and the date of issue of the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial position ("adjusting events") are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events that occur between the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and the date of issue of the consolidated financial statements that provide information on conditions that occur after the date of the consolidated statement of financial position ("non adjusting events"), if material, are disclosed in note 34.
The Group uses derivatives financial instruments, such as exchange forwards and interest rate swaps, only to cover the financial risk witch the Group is exposed to. The Group doesn't use derivatives financial instruments for speculation. Derivatives financial instruments negotiation is performed by the Group, on behalf of their subsidiaries, by the financial department under the policies approved by the Board of directors. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction date fair value, being subsequently measured at each reporting date fair value. Gains or losses of fair value changes are recognised as follows:
In an operation to hedge the exposure to fair value of an asset or liability ("fair value hedge") determined as effective hedges, the fair value changes are recognised in the income statement jointly with the fair value changes of the risk component of the hedged item.
In an operation to hedge the exposure to future cash-flows of an asset or liability ("cash-flow hedge"), the effective part of the fair value changes in the hedging derivative are recognizes in equity; the ineffective part of the hedging is recognized in the income statement when it occurs.
Currently, Ibersol does not consider the realization of currency hedging on net investments in foreign operating units (subsidiaries), as it is not significantly exposed to foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary items that in substance can be considered as a net investment in foreign operations.
The Group has well identified the nature of the involved risks, guarantees through its software that each hedge instrument is followed under the Group's risk policy, recording thorough and formally the hedges relationships; the hedges goal and strategy; classification of the hedges relationship; description of the nature of the risk that's being cover; identification of the hedge instrument and covered item; description of initial measure and future effectiveness of the hedge; identification of the excluded, if any, part of the hedge instrument.
The Group will consider discontinued an hedge instrument when it is sold, expires or is realised; the hedge ceases to fulfil the hedge accounting criteria; for the cash flow hedge the expected transaction in unlikely or unexpected; the Group cancels the hedge instruments for managing reasons.
The Cash Flow Statement is prepared using the direct method, through which cash receipts and payments in operating, investing and financing activities are disclosed.
Operating activities include receipts from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and others related to operating activity, namely income tax.
Investment activities include, in particular, acquisitions and disposals of investments in subsidiaries, payments and receipts arising from the purchase and sale of assets and receipts of interest and dividends. Financing activities include payments and receipts related to loans obtained, finance lease contracts, interest paid and dividend payments.
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts recorded in the statement of financial position with a maturity of less than three months from the balance sheet date, which includes cash and cash equivalents at credit institutions. It also includes other short-term investments, of high liquidity, of insignificant risk of change in value and convertible into cash, as well as mandatory sight deposits with Banco de Portugal in order to satisfy the legal requirements of minimum cash reserves.
Government grants are government assistance in the form of transferring resources to an entity in exchange for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the entity's operating activities.
Subsidies granted by the State to finance staff training actions are recognized as income in the consolidated income statement during the period during which the Group incurred the respective training costs.
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis during the periods in which the entity recognizes the related costs as expenses.
Subsidies granted by the State to finance investments in tangible or intangible assets are deferred and recorded as liabilities. Investment subsidies are recognized in the consolidated income statement over the estimated useful life of the subsidized assets under the heading "Other operating income / (costs)".
The group's activities are exposed to a number of financial risk factors: market risk (including currency exchange risk, fair value risk associated to the interest rate and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risks associated to the interest rate. The group maintains a risk management program that focuses its analysis on financial markets to minimise the potential adverse effects of those risks on the group's financial performance.
Financial risk management is headed by the Financial Department based on the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates and employs financial risk hedging measures in close cooperation with the group's operating units. The Board provides principles for managing the risk as a whole and policies that cover specific areas, such as the currency exchange risk, the interest rate risk, the credit risk and the investment of surplus liquidity.
With regard to exchange rate risk, the Group follows a natural hedge policy using financing in local currency. Since the Group is mainly present in the Iberian market, bank loans are mainly denominated in euros and the volume of purchases outside the Euro zone are of irrelevant proportions.
The Group's main source of exposure comes from investment outside the Euro zone, namely from the operation it is being developed in Angola, which is still small and losing importance in the group's activity. The imbalances of the Angolan economy give rise to significant exchange rate variations of the kwanza, so it is to be considered that there is an exchange rate risk. Financing contracted by Angolan subsidiaries is denominated in the local currency, the same currency in which income is generated. Given the limitations on payments abroad in the past, the group adopted a policy of monthly monitoring of credit balances in foreign currency and its full coverage with the acquisition of Treasury Bonds of the Republic of Angola, indexed to the USD. In 2020 and 2021, the monetary policy adopted by the Angolan government allowed the fluidity of access to foreign currency necessary to meet payment commitments abroad and regularize all situations of delay.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020 currency exchange risk was as follows:

(*) exchange rate USD / EUR 0.89 and 0.84, respectively, in 2021 and 2020.
Additionally, in Angolan subsidiaries, there are debts to suppliers - mainly group companies - denominated in EUR, which, after conversion, generate exchange differences in the consolidated financial statements (other operating costs). On the other hand, the same subsidiaries hold financial assets indexed to the USD in an amount necessary to fully cover foreign currency liabilities.
Based on simulations performed on 31 December 2021, a decrease from 10% to 15% in AOA, concerning EUR and USD currency, keeping everything else constant, would have an impact of 106 thousand and 905 thousand Euros (1.295 thousand Euros and 1.943 thousand Euros in 2020), respectively, on the Group's equity.
ii) Price risk
The Group is not greatly exposed to goods price risk.
With the exception of the Angola Treasury Bonds, the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. Therefore, profit and cash flows from investment activities are substantially independent of changes in market interest rate. Regarding the Angolan State treasury bonds, interest is fixed, so there is also no risk.
The Group's interest rate risk follows its liabilities, in particular long-term loans. Loans issued with variable rates expose the group to the cash flow risk associated to interest rates. Loans with fixed rates expose the group to the risk of the fair value associated to interest rates. At the current interest rates, in financing of longer maturity periods the group has a policy of fixing interest rates of at least 30% of the outstanding amount.
Unpaid debt bears variable interest rate, part of which has been the object of an interest rate swap. Interest rate swap contracts to hedge the interest rate risk of part of the loans (commercial paper) of 6.4 million Euros are subject to interest maturities and repayment plans identical to the terms of the loans. A loan of 36 million Euros with fixed rate debt is contracted.
Based on simulations performed on 31 December 2021, an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate, maintaining other factors constant, would have a negative impact in the net profit of 522,000 Euros (610,000 Euros in 2020).
The main activity of the Group is performed with sales paid in cash, or debit or credit card, so the Group has no significant credit risk concentrations. Regarding customers, the risk is limited to the Catering business and sales of merchandise to franchisees representing less than 3.8% of the consolidated turnover. The Group has policies to ensure that credit sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.
The Group has policies that limit the amount of credit that customers have access to, with no information on the rating assigned to these entities. Credit situations in arrears for more than 30 days are subject to an analysis of future losses based on historical information and taking into account the established business relationship as well as existing real guarantees, with adjustments being recognized for impairment losses.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents include mainly deposits resulting from cash provided by sales and its deposits in current accounts. Excluding these amounts, the amount of financial investments at 31 December 2021, is not significant, with the exception of the above mentioned Treasury Bonds of the Republic of Angola in the amount of 2.2 million Euros, subject to country risk.
Deposits and other financial investments are spread over several credit institutions; therefore there is not a concentration of these financial assets.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the ratings of the major credit institutions where Ibersol Group has its deposits are presented as follows:

Deposits in Angola are distributed by four of the largest commercial banks in Angola - BFA, BCGA, ATL and BAI but which do not have a rating. As at 31 December 2021, the Group has deposited Treasury Bonds with a rating of the Republic of Angola, Rating B3 (Moody`s), recorded in the amount of 2,179,956 euros, as detailed in note 11.
The quality of financial assets not due or impaired is detailed in Note 15.
Liquidity risk management implies maintaining a sufficient amount of cash and bank deposits, the feasibility of consolidating the floating debt through a suitable amount of credit facilities and the capacity to liquidate market positions. Treasury needs are managed based on the annual plan that is reviewed every quarter and adjusted daily. Related with the dynamics of the underlying business operations, the group's treasury strives to maintain the floating debt flexible by maintaining credit lines available.
For this purpose, short-term bank loans are considered to expire on the renewal date and that commercial paper contracts expire on the termination dates, although renewal is usual.
At the end of the year, current liabilities reached 136 million Euros, compared with 141 million Euros in current assets. Without prejudice to the fact that this year, as a result of excess liquidity, the Group does not present a situation of current liabilities greater than current assets, a financial characteristic of this business, it is important to note that current liabilities include some Commercial Paper programs, with termination clauses, in which reimbursement on the termination date is considered regardless of the terms for which they are contracted. On the other hand, circumstantially the option for issuance under contracts of lesser maturity at the expense of other programs of greater maturity that are left unused and consequently with amounts available for coverage.
Loans in the form of commercial paper issues are classified as non-current liabilities when they are guaranteed to be placed for a period of more than one year and it is the intention of the Group's Board of Directors to use this funding source for a period of more than one year.
The Group considers the expected operating cash flows and, if necessary, the commercial paper and the contracted credit lines, the amounts of which have not yet been used, are sufficient to settle all current liabilities.
On 31 December 2021, the Group had Commercial Paper Programs and unused medium and long-term lines of 24 million Euros and unused short term liquidity cash flow amounted to 14 million Euros. Investments in term deposits and other application of 94 million Euros, match 54% of liabilities paid.
The following table shows the Group financial liabilities (relevant items), considering contractual cash-flows:
| < 1 year | from 1 to 5 years | > 5 years | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank loans and overdrafts | 26 593 284 | 137 664 847 | 2774218,54 |

The company aims to maintain an equity level suitable to the characteristics of its main business (cash sales and account payable) and to ensure continuity and expansion. The capital structure balance is monitored based on the gearing ratio (defined as: (net remunerated debt / net remunerated debt + equity)) in order to place the ratio within a 50%-75% range.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020 the gearing ratio was of 48% and 74%, respectively, as follows:

In restaurants where it operates with international brands, the group enters into long-term franchise agreements: 20 years for Burger King and 10 years for Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC, which are renewable for another 10 years at the franchise's option, provided certain obligations have been fulfilled.
It has become practical for these contracts to be renewed. However, nothing obliges the franchisees to do so, so the risk of non-renewal may be verified.
In these contracts it is normal to contract the payment of an "Initial Fee" at the beginning of each contract and a "Renewall Fee" at the end of the initial period, in addition to a royalty of marketing operations on the sales made.
Periodically, development contracts are negotiated which guarantee the right and the obligation to open new restaurants. In case of non-compliance with the opening plans provided for in these contracts, franchisors may terminate their development contracts.
The group has signed development contracts with Taco Bell and KFC (Portugal and Spain) and Burger King (Portugal and Spain). In unusual circumstances, such as the current pandemic crisis, readjustments to the development programs with the different brands Taco Bell and KFC were agreed. In the case of Burger King for Portugal, an amendment to the contract was being negotiated, but Burger King decided to terminate it (note 36.2).
In the franchise agreements of several international brands operated by the subsidiaries of Ibersol SGPS, S.A. requirements and conditions are foreseen to be fulfilled prior to the disposal of the participation of the subsidiary that operates the contract, issuance of equity instruments and/or change of control in said subsidiaries, as well as the disposal of the business or restaurants owned by those subsidiaries, which include , among others: the prior agreement of the franchisors, information obligations and various transmission procedures, eventual payment of charges or fees, as well as the right of first refusal in favor of the franchisors. Franchise agreements with some international brands provide for the possibility of termination in the event of a change in control of Ibersol SGPS, S.A. without prior agreement from the franchisor.
The fair value of financial instruments commercialised in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, securities for negotiation and available for sale) is determined based on the listed market prices on the consolidated statement of financial position date. The market price used for the group's financial assets is the price received by the shareholders in the current market. The market price for financial liabilities is the price to be paid in the current market.
The nominal value of accounts receivable (minus impairment adjustments) and accounts payable is assumed to be as approximate to its fair value. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by updating future cash flows contracted at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.
Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience and on other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonably probable within the respective circumstances.
The group makes estimates and outlines premises about the future. Generally, accounting based on estimates rarely corresponds to the real reported results. Estimates and premises that present a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the accounting value of the assets and liabilities in the following year are described below:
a) Goodwill impairment analysis, financial investments in associated and jointly controlled companies, rights of use, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Impairment analyses require the determination of the fair value and / or the use value of these assets (or of some CGU). This process requires a high number of judgments, namely the estimation of future cash flows associated with the assets or the respective CGU and the determination of an appropriate discount rate for calculating the present value of said cash flows. In this regard, the Group has, once again, established the requirement to use the maximum possible amount of observable market data. It also established mechanisms for monitoring calculations based on the critical challenge of the reasonableness of the assumptions used, their coherence and consistency (in similar situations).
Information on the most relevant assumptions used in the impairment analysis, as well as the sensitivity of the results obtained in the face of certain changes in assumptions, is disclosed in Notes 2.9, 8 and 9.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits or taxable temporary differences related to the same tax authority to use those same deferred tax assets. At the end of each year, a review of the deferred taxes recorded is made, as well as of the unrecognized taxes, which are reduced whenever their future use is no longer probable or recorded, provided that, and to the extent that, it becomes probable the generation of taxable profits in the future/ reversal of taxable temporary differences that allow their recovery.
The Group makes estimates on lease terms and the incremental financing rate.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of the lease, taking into account the periods covered by an option to extend the contract if it is reasonable for the Group to exercise it, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the contract, if it is reasonably certain that the Group will not exercise it. In determining the lease term, the Group therefore makes a judgment on the relevant factors that create an economic incentive to exercise the renewal or termination (in cases where such options belong to the lessee and the lessor, the Group exercises judgment about the economic incentives for lessor and lessee). See more details in note 2.19.
In most leases, the Group is not able to readily determine the interest rate implicit in the contracts, so it considers its incremental financing rate to measure lease liabilities. The incremental financing rate is the interest rate that the Group would have to pay to obtain loans of similar terms and guarantees, to acquire an asset identical to the leased asset in a similar economic environment. In this way, the incremental financing rate reflects what the Group would have to pay, which requires an estimate when there are no observable rates available (such as in subsidiaries that do not carry out financing operations) or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease (for example when the contracts are not in the Group's functional currency). The Group estimates the incremental funding rate using observable information (such as market interest rates) when available, and it is necessary to make some specific estimates based on consultations with funding institutions such as Banks and Investment Funds. The average incremental financing rate used by the Group to discount lease liabilities was 5.12% in Portugal and 5.44% in Spain (5.04% and 5.25%, respectively, in Portugal and Spain as at 31 December 2020.

The value of the increases corresponds to 44 new leases (34 of spaces and 10 of equipment), 23 renewals of contracts for restaurants and support facilities, and also the effect of remeasurement of contracts by the rent updates by the Price Index in the Consumer and other changes to expected lease payments (eg in cases of lease term reassessment).
The amount recognized as decreases essentially refers to the write-off of AENA contracts (128,474,135 euros), as detailed in the introductory note and note 17, since according to Law 13/2021 of 1 October:
• The guaranteed minimum annual income ("RMAG") provided for in these contracts for the period between March 15, 2020 and June 20, 2020, both included, will be eliminated and its payment will not be required by AENA;
• As of June 21, 2020, the guaranteed minimum annual income established in the aforementioned contracts will be automatically reduced in direct proportion to the reduction in the volume of passengers at the airport where the commercial establishment in question is located, in relation to the volume of passengers at the same airport in 2019, and this reduction will apply in 2020, as well as in all subsequent years until the annual volume of passengers at the airport reaches that verified in 2019.
In this way, and in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 39 of IFRS 16, the entire lease liability referring to the contracts with AENA was derecognised as a contra entry to the Right of Use, with reference to the date of entry into force of the aforementioned law. Since the value of the lease liability, on the derecognition date, was higher than that of the Right of use, a gain was recognized in the income statement for the difference in these balances in the amount of 61,354,936 euros (note 25). In addition to this impact, the Group also settled the deferred tax assets associated with these lease contracts (note 18.2.1). As a result of this change, in the fourth quarter, amortization of the right of use decreased by 7.7 million euros.
As mentioned in Note 2.9, the impairment of the right to use is analyzed on an aggregate bases with each Cash Generating Unit (Note 8).
During the periods ended 31 December 2021 and 2020, property, plant and equipment, as well as in the respective depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, were as follows:

In 2021, the investment basically refers to the opening of five Taco Bells (2 due to the conversion of other existing units), five Pizza Huts, twelve Burger Kings, six KFC and the acquisition of land for the installation of 5 restaurants. The investment of approximately 25 million Euros in 2020 essentially refers to the opening of six KFC's, six Burger King's, two Taco Bell's and a Ribs restaurant.
Under the expansion and development contracts with the brands (see note 3.2 b), the Group assumed the commitment to make investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets associated with new store openings and remodelling.
The assessment of the existence of signs of impairment at CGU and the respective tests, if necessary, were performed out on an annual basis as referred to in Note 2.9.. Each store / restaurant is considered a CGU, and in the case of airports each airport it's a CGU.
Each UCG is composed of all the assets and liabilities attributable to each restaurant, namely: tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, rights of use and respective lease liabilities.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the methods and main assumptions used in the preparation of impairment tests on the Group's main property, plant and equipment that showed signs of impairment were as follows:.

* The discount rate presented was calculated based on the methodology WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital).
** According to the business segment, Quick service (Burger King, Pans and KFC), Restaurants and Travel, respectively.
The growth rate in perpetuity used in cash flow projections is 2%.
The tests performed on Ibersol Group restaurants with signs of impairment resulted in the need to record impairment in the amount of 4,861,694 Euros (4,210,240 euros in property, plant and equipment assets and 651,454 euros in intangible assets) in 2021 and 831,559 euros in 2020 (only related to property, plant and equipment assets), as follows:

A lower penetration in the "home delivery" segment as well as greater difficulties of these units in the short-term recovery of pre-covid transactions indicated impairment losses of these assets.
In the case of Gran Canaria and Málaga Airports, the evidence comes from the minimum contractual rents that are adjusted by Ley13/2021 being substantially higher than those requested by Ibersol in the lawsuit filed in Court.
In 2021, the analysis of the sensitivity to the discount rate for the CGUs that are impaired in the year is presented as follows:
| Discount Rate | Impairment | Change in inpairment - increase/(decrease) |
|---|---|---|
| -1,00% | 4 638 908 | -222 786 |

In 2021, the analysis of the sensitivity to the growth rate in perpetuity is presented as follows:
| Perpuity growth rate | Impairment | Change in inpairment - increase/(decrease) |
|---|---|---|

| 1% more than base | 4 786 125 | -75 569 |
The impairment determined in the CGUs identified above was allocated to the corresponding tangible fixed assets and intangible assets. Notwithstanding that the UCGs include other assets (RoU), taking into account the materiality of the impairment determined and the lower weight of the other assets of each UCG, the allocation of the determined impairment would not result in material differences in the presentation of financial statements.
As mentioned in note 1, the impairment analyzes of the assets associated with the travel segment, namely, airports in Spain, were carried out based on the effects arising from the application of Law 13/2021, as well as the most recent traffic estimates from Eurocontrol, which point to a recovery in 2024 of 2019 traffic. If the outcome of the dispute with AENA is in its entirety favorable to Ibersol, the value of the impairments recognized in the units in Málaga and Gran Canaria, as well as the provision recognized in the Gran Canaria onerous contract (note 19), the eventual total or partial reversal of these effects will have to be evaluated.

Goodwill is not amortized. The Group performs impairment tests on goodwill annually, or whenever there are signs of impairment, as mentioned in Note 2.9.
For the purpose of impairment tests on CGU, the recoverable amount was determined based on the value in use, according to the discounted cash flow method. The recoverable value of the CGU derives from assumptions related to the activity, namely, sales volumes, operating costs, planned investments, remodelling and closing of units, the impact of other market players, internal management projections and historical performance.
These projections result from the budgets for the following period and the estimated cash flows for a subsequent period of four years reflected in the medium and long-term plans approved by the Board of Directors.
In terms of impairment losses, the effects of the pandemic on the restaurant sector and the pace of recovery, particularly in locations most dependent on the recovery of tourist traffic, namely in concessioned spaces, resulted in the maintenance of the application of different risks in determining the value recoverable from the tests carried out, depending on the business areas.
With the exception of the results obtained in the analysis of the FresCo operation in Spain, the remaining impairment tests did not result in impairment losses, which is in line with Management's expectations, which effectively indicate that there are no other permanent losses in its businesses, with the clear expectation of business recovery in the medium term to pre-Covid-19 levels.
Sensitivity analyses were also performed on the main assumptions used in the base calculation, with impairment losses only occurring in very conservative scenarios.
In order to determine the recoverable amount of goodwill, the value in use was considered based on the 5-year business and perpetuity projections. The methods and main assumptions used in preparing the impairment tests for the Group's goodwill were as follows:
| WACC 2021 | Growth rate for residual value |
WACC 2020 | Growth rate for residual value |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portugal - Quick Service | 6,7% | 2,0% | 7,3% | 2,0% |
| Portugal - Restaurantes e Catering | 7,3% | 2,0% | 7,6% | 2,0% |
| Portugal - Travel | 7,8% | 2,0% | 8,5% | 2,0% |
| Espanha - Quick Service | 6,4% | 2,0% | 6,6% | 2,0% |
| Espanha - Restaurantes | 6,9% | 2,0% | 6,9% | 2,0% |
| Espanha - Travel | 7,5% | 2,0% | 8,5% | 2,0% |
| Angola - Quick Service | 15,7% | 2,0% | 20,8% | 2,0% |
The discount rate presented was calculated based on the WACC methodology (Weighted Average Cost of Capital).
In 2021, with the effects of the pandemic on the restaurant sector and in particular in the locations most dependent on the recovery of tourist traffic, impairment tests were carried out on Goodwill, based on the expectations of recovery of tourist flows, namely air traffic in Europe, that have been taking place in recent months.
The publication of Ley 13/21 (introductory note), clarified the rules in force for minimum rents at airports in Spain and with the publication of new forecasts from the airspace regulatory authorities, the group adjusted Travel projections, considering a recovery of traffic from 2019 to 2024 and future rents as established in the aforementioned law.
The discount rates adopted correspond to the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) estimated for each of the segments operated in Portugal and Spain with the highest risk in those segments that have a tendency of greater resistance to the recovery from the pandemic crisis.
As previously mentioned, impairment analyzes of assets associated with the travel segment, namely airports in Spain, were carried out based on the effects arising from the application of Law 13/2021, as well as the most recent traffic estimates from Eurocontrol, which point to for a 2024 recovery of 2019 traffic. Results of impairment tests:
In 2021, the tests performed resulted in the need to record impairment related to the goodwill allocated to Frescco units in the amount of 1,476,821 euros (compared to a goodwill impairment value of 7,458,583 euros in 2020), as follows:
| Year 2021 | ||||

The FresC0 business showed greater difficulties in the post-Covid recovery, which explains the loss of impairment for all the goodwill associated with the FresCo business.
In the current climate of uncertainty, the assumptions used are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic indicators and to the business assumptions used by management. Considering the uncertainties regarding the goodwill recovery value due to the fact that they are based on the best information available at the date, changes in the assumptions could result in impacts in determining the level of impairment and, consequently, in the results.
In 2021, the sensitivity tests in the aggravation at the wacc rate by 1% and 2%, would represent an impairment in the Travel GW of around 5 million euros and 8.5 million euros, respectively.
From the sensitivity analysis carried out, a reduction in the growth rate of 1% would lead to an additional impairment to be recognized at the level of goodwill on travel from Spain of approximately 2 million euros, without changing the conclusion regarding the recoverability of the remaining amount of goodwill.
In the remaining intangible assets, with a defined useful life, the impairment tests performed revealed that the recoverable amount is higher.

Ibersol Angola operates with a large component of imports that generate liabilities in foreign currency. In order to reduce exchange rate risk and deal with variations in the Kwanza, the company adopted the policy of holding assets indexed to the USD in value, at least, of the same order of magnitude as the liabilities.
In addition to holding Treasury Bonds indexed to USD, the company acquired non-adjustable Treasury Bonds (in AKZ) for financial investment of surpluses.
The amount of financial assets refers to investments in Angolan State Treasury Bonds. The separation by maturity is as follows:

Trade accounts receivable from other debtors are initially recognized at fair value and, in the case of medium and long-term debt, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.
The Group considers that this asset is not exposed to significant credit risk, since in general these assets are directly associated with rent payment obligations.
These guarantees may be enforced by the beneficiaries in the event of breach of contract by Ibersol, for example in cases where the rent is not paid.

The main activity of the Group is the operation of stores of several own brands and franchises (Note 3.b), and the preferred payment method for its sales is by cash, debit card (or other type of card, for example, "cartão refeição"). With the appearance of sales platforms for home delivery, sales charged through the intermediary are growing. The greater volume of credits results from the activity of delivery through Aggregators, from catering sales, although the advance payment model was implemented at the time of contracting the event, as well as from the supply of goods and royalties to franchisees.
With regard to non-impaired Clients debts, their maturity is as follows:
| Dec/21 | Dec/20 | |
|---|---|---|

| Accumulated impairment losses | 2 674 804 | 2 380 688 |

The increase in customer debt is due to the resumption of catering activity, namely in football stadium concessions, in the second half of 2021.
The group considers default for debt overdue for more than three months in customers with risk of default. The impairment on the total debt of customers with risk of default is recognized.
In other debtors, balances with Cards/aggregators are paid immediately after the respective summaries, and the balance corresponds to the last period of sales charged by that operator in accordance with the contracted conditions, balances with suppliers correspond to the debits made in the month of December and are charged on the payment date of the following month, and deposits and bonds, considered to be overdue for more than three months, do not present any risk. The maturity of other debtors is presented as follows:

The last two months of 2020 were greatly affected by the restrictions and confinements to combat the pandemic, so there were delays in the processing of payments / collections that led to a concentration of third-party debt in the "debt overdue for more than 1 month". As at 31 December 2022, the situation was settled. On the other hand, as at 31 December 2021, collateral and deposits up to the time when the term for which they were constituted is not reached are considered as "unmatured debt" while on 31 December 2020 they were included in "overdue debt". more than three months ago".
Debt overdue for more than three months is duly analyzed and essentially corresponds to debts owed by suppliers for guarantees or advances made and whose conference processes require more time than the normal period of commercial relations, not historically justifying the constitution of impairments.

Regarding the reportable tax losses of Spain, detailed above, the Group did not recognize deferred tax assets on reportable tax losses generated in Spain in the amount of 22,553,272 Euros (corresponding to 5,638,318 Euros in deferred taxes), given that there is no reasonable certainty as to the recoverability of all tax losses carried forward.
In analyzing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Group considered the best estimates of projections of future taxable profits against which tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be used.
In the analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in Spain, business plans were prepared which, considering the tax rules of Spain and the specificities of the group of companies, constituted the basis for assessing their recoverability.
As mentioned in notes 1, 8 and 9, the business plans associated with the travel segment, namely, for airports in Spain, were carried out based on the effects arising from the application of Law 13/2021, as well as the most recent traffic estimates from the Eurocontrol, which point to a recovery in 2024 of 2019 traffic.
The business plans were approved by management and are based on projections from external entities, such as Eurocontrol in the case of traffic, as well as being consistent with the business plans that served as the basis for the impairment analysis of the Group's assets.

The Group has contingent liabilities related to its business (related to licensing, advertising fees, hygiene and food safety and employees, the success rate of Ibersol in these processes being historically high). It is not expected that there will be significant liabilities arising from contingent liabilities.
An indemnity proceeding was brought against a subsidiary of the Eat Out Group in Spain for alleged noncompliance with non-compete agreements in the amount of approximately 11.7 million Euros. The Board of Directors, supported by the position of the lawyers who accompany the process, considers that this situation represents a contingent liability. Additionally, it should be noted that the process concerns facts that occurred before the acquisition of this subsidiary by the Ibersol Group, and is therefore, under the liability and guarantees clauses provided for in the share purchase and sale agreement of the Eat Out Group, there is a right of return.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, liabilities not recorded by Ibersol's subsidiaries are mainly made up of bank guarantees provided on their account, as follows:

|---|---|---|
| Bank guarantees | 24 929 721 | 25 211 435 |
Bank guarantees by hedge type are as follows:

Other | Other legal claims |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 611 233 | 23 327 | 230 430 | 44 000 | 20 731 |
The bank guarantees essentially arise from the concessions and rents of the Group's stores and commercial spaces, and can be executed in the event of non-compliance with the lease contracts, namely due to non-payment of rents.
The relevant amount comes from the guarantees required by the owners of spaces concession (ANA Airports and AENA Airports in Spain) or leased (shopping centres and other places) under concessions and rents, which amounts to 19,713,000 Euros with AENA Airports.
Regarding the precautionary measures requested, aiming at preventing AENA from executing the guarantees and deposits (see Note 12), which has a 24.7 million Euros benefit. On 26 March 2021, the Court ruled in favour of the precautionary measure. In March 2022, the higher court once again confirmed Pansfood in relation to the process of injunctions, in response to the appeal filed by AENA, regarding the first decision and March 2021. A hearing on the substantive case is scheduled for May, with a decision of the court of first instance on the same by the end of the year 2022.

36.1 The beginning of the military conflict triggered by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February, has resulted in high human and material losses, leading to a massive exodus of the population from the affected territories.
This situation triggered increased uncertainty about the evolution of economies and financial markets worldwide, with the following expected: i) increase in prices of fossil fuels and cereals; ii) greater volatility in interest rates and an increase in the rate of inflation; iii) possible increase in cyber-attacks, which may affect public and private entities in countries that have shown support for Ukraine or imposed sanctions on Russia.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Group does not have direct exposure to conflict zones, it is not possible, at the moment, to estimate the potential indirect effects that may occur, so the Group is attentive to the evolution of the conflict, taking the measures it deems appropriate for the course of the conflict. situation. No relevant impacts on the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 have been identified as of this date.

As the Group does not yet hold assets or has incurred significant costs for this expansion program, there are no impacts on the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2021.
On March 10, 2022, Ibersol Group and Restaurant Brands Iberia, S.A. started negotiations on an exclusive basis, regarding a potential acquisition of Burger King restaurants, operated in Portugal and Spain, for an Enterprise Value of 250 million Euros, on a cash and debt-free basis, which may be increased by up to 7 million Euros, relating to the potential use of tax credits.
On the present date, the process of confirmatory due diligence is in progress and the obtaining of internal authorizations and external financing by the proposing entity, conditioning the proposal received.
The Ibersol Group will continue to operate the 157 Burger King restaurants that it owns in Iberian territory, in accordance with the best standards of service and quality in accordance with the respective contracts in force.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for emission on 29 April 2022.
Shareholders are entitled to not approve the accounts authorized for issue by the Board of Directors and propose their amendment.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Recoverability of non-current assets (tangible fixed assets (214,373,712 euros), right-of-use assets (138,871,151 euros), goodwill (79,032,821 euros) and intangible assets (35,870,696 euros)
See notes 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 2.19 of the Main accounting policies, note 4.a) of the Main accounting estimates and judgments and notes 7, 8, 9 and 35 to the consolidated financial statements.
The recoverability of non-current assets is considered a key audit matter due to the materiality of the amounts involved and the complexity and subjectivity associated with impairment tests, namely due to the uncertainty inherent to the financial projections, which are based on the Board of Directors' expectations.
These projections are materialised in valuation models based on business plans, which are underpinned by several assumptions not observable in the market, associated with discount rates, expected margins, short and long-term growth rates, investment plans and demand behaviour, amongst others.
In 2021, as a result of the internal analysis of the recoverability of tangible fixed assets, right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the Group recorded impairment losses amounting to approximately 6.3 million euros.
Our audit procedures included amongst others, those that we describe below:

Measurement of right-of-use assets (138,871,151 euros) and lease liabilities (143,068,334 euros)
See Note 2.19 of the Main accounting policies, note 4.c) of the Main accounting estimates and judgments and notes 7, 17.2, 23 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements.
The measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, namely in relation to new leases and lease modifications, involves significant amounts, given the Group's large number of leases, and entails management judgements regarding lease term and discount rates.
Law 13/2021 of October 2021 introduced changes to the terms and conditions of lease agreements of commercial spaces in airports managed by AENA.
Such changes entailed complex and material accounting impacts on the financial statements in 2021.
Our audit procedures included amongst others, those that we describe below:

The Fiscal Board exercised its powers to supervise the activities and independence of the External Auditor and the Auditor, having the perception that the recommended practices were observed; and the Fiscal Board has rendered its approval to additional services to the auditory services that were hired to the External Auditor, having considered that it's independence was safeguarded, its remuneration was contained in market conditions, and, therefore, it was in the society's interest to benefit of the knowledge and punctuality assured in those services.

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, assumptions and critical judgments in determining the accounting policies to be adopted by Ibersol SGPS, with a significant impact on the amount of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses in the period
Although these estimates are based on best experience of the Board of Directors and their best expectations regarding current and future events and actions, present and future profit may differ from these estimates.

a) Covid 19 - Income concessions Amendment to IFRS 16
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Covid-19 – Rent concessions", which amended IFRS 16 Leases.
If certain conditions are met, the amendment allows tenants, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether certain Covid-19 related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees who apply the practical expedient must account for these lease concessions as if they were not lease modifications, so that, for example, the amount of lease forgiven on or before June 30, 2021 is recognized in profit or loss. in the same year in which the concession is granted, rather than being awarded over the duration of the contract, as would be the case if the practical expedient were not permitted.
The change shall apply for annual periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020. Early application is permitted.
The adoption of this standard did not impact Ibersol's financial statements.
b) Reform of the Interest Rate Benchmark - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)
In August 2020, the IASB issued the Interest Rate Reference Reform - Phase 2, which amends IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 Leases.
The purpose of the amendments is to help entities provide useful information to users of financial statements and to assist preparers in applying IFRSs when changes are made to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships as a result of a transition from an interest rate IBOR benchmark for alternative benchmark rates, in the context of the ongoing risk-free rate reform ('IBOR reform').
The changes are the result of the second phase of the IASB project that deals with the accounting impacts of the IBOR reform, which gave rise to the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7) issued by the IASB on 26 September 2019. They complement the first phase of the project that addressed the accounting impacts of pre-replacement of the IBOR reform and which were issued by the IASB in 2019.
Changes must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with earlier application permitted.
c) Extension of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 (amendments to IFRS)
The IASB issued "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from the Application of IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4) on June 25, 2020.
The purpose of the amendments is to extend the expiry date of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 by two years (i.e. from 2021 to 2023) in order to align the effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 17 Contracts for Safe.
Not applicable to Ibersol's sector of activity.
a) References to the Conceptual Framework (amendments to IFRS 3)
In May 2020, the IASB issued "References to the Conceptual Framework", amending IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
The amendments updated IFRS 3, replacing the reference to an older version of the Conceptual Framework with a reference to the most recent version, which was issued in March 2018.
The amendments shall apply to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Early application is permitted if, at the same time or rather, an entity would also apply all changes made in "Changes to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS", issued in March 2018.
b) Tangible fixed assets - Revenue before intended use, amendments to IAS 16 Tangible fixed assets
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Tangible fixed assets – Income before Intended Use", which amended IAS 16 Tangible fixed assets.
The amendments prohibit the deduction from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, of any income from the sale of items produced in bringing that asset into the place and condition necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner intended by management. Instead, the entity shall recognize such sales revenue in profit or loss.
The changes shall be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.
c) Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract
In May 2020, the IASB issued "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract", which amended IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
The purpose of the amendments is to clarify the requirements of IAS 37 on onerous contracts regarding the assessment of whether, in a contract, the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the obligations arising from the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from it.
The amendments shall apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.
d) Improvements in the 2018-2020 cycle
On 14 May 2020, the IASB issued improvements to IFRS 2018–2020 containing the following amendments to IFRSs:
(i) allow an entity, as a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, to adopt IFRS for the first time after its parent and elect to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards , can measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the respective date of transition to IFRS;
(ii) clarify that the reference to fees in the 10 percent test includes only fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the lender on behalf of the other (IFRS 9);
(iii) remove potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives by applying IFRS 16 Leases, as illustrated in Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16; and
(iii) remove the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 Agriculture for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value by applying IAS 41.
The changes will apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted.
To be developed only for insurance companies or companies that have insurance subsidiaries, otherwise note that it is not applicable.
On May 18, 2017, the IASB issued a standard that replaced IFRS 4 and completely reformed the treatment to be given to insurance contracts. The standard introduces significant changes to the way in which the performance of insurance contracts is measured and presented, with different impacts also at the level of the financial position. The standard provides for its application for years beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
f) Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosures of Accounting Policies
Following feedback obtained on the need for more guidance to help companies decide on what information to disclose regarding accounting policies, the IASB issued on February 12, 2021 amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements and to the IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Making materiality judgments.
The main changes to IAS 1 include: i) requiring entities to disclose information regarding material accounting policies rather than significant accounting policies, ii) clarifying that accounting policies related to intangible transactions are also immaterial and as such do not need to be disclosed and iii) clarify that not all accounting policies relating to material transactions are themselves material to an entity's financial statements.
The IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 to include guidance and two additional examples on the application of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. These changes are consistent with the revised definition of material:
"Information regarding accounting policies is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, it is reasonably expected to influence the decisions that major users of financial statements generally make on the basis of those financial statements. ."
The changes are effective as of January 1, 2023, but early application is permitted.
g) Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to clarify how entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates, with a primary focus on defining and clarifying accounting estimates.
The amendments introduce a new definition for accounting estimates: clarifying that monetary values in the financial statements are subject to measurement uncertainty.
The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates, specifying that an entity develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective established by an accounting policy. The effects of changes in such data or measurement techniques are changes in accounting estimates.
The changes are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted, and will apply prospectively to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur on or after the start of the first annual reporting period to which the entity applies the changes.
a) Clarification of the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current (amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements)
The IASB issued on 23 January 2020 an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current and non-current.
The amendments clarify a criterion in IAS 1 for classifying a liability as non-current: the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The. specify that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period;
B. clarify that the classification is not affected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement;
ç. clarify how loan conditions affect the rating; and
d. clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities that an entity will settle, or may settle, by issuing its own equity instruments.
This change is effective for periods after January 1, 2023.
b) Amendments to IAS 12: deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 - 'Income Taxes' on 7 May 2021.
The amendments require companies to recognize deferred taxes on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences.
In certain circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred taxes when they first recognize assets or liabilities. Previously, there was some uncertainty as to whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning provisions, that is, transactions under which companies recognize an asset and a liability. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply to this type of transactions and that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce the diversity in the disclosure of deferred taxes on leases and provisions for decommissioning.
The changes are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted.
c) Amendments to IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts: initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued an amendment to the scope of the transition requirements of IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts, providing insurers with an option aimed at improving the usefulness of information for investors in the initial application of the new Standard.
The amendment does not affect any other requirements of IFRS 17.
IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments have different transition requirements. For some insurers, these differences may cause temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information they present in the financial statements when applying IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for the first time.
The amendment will help insurers avoid these temporary accounting lags and therefore increase the usefulness of comparative information for investors.
IFRS 17, including this amendment, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
Ibersol did not apply any of these standards in advance in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, as their application is not mandatory. Significant impacts on the financial statements resulting from their adoption are not estimated.
The main accounting policies applied in preparing these financial statements are described below. Unless otherwise stated these policies have been consistently applied in comparative periods.
Investments in equity investments of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured in accordance with the provisions of IAS 27, at acquisition cost less any impairment losses.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which Ibersol has control. Ibersol controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its involvement with Ibersol, and can affect those returns through its power exercised over Ibersol. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Ibersol, being excluded from consolidation from the date on which that control ceases.
Joint Venture corresponds to joint agreements through which the entrepreneurs who exercise joint control over the agreement with the purpose of sharing the return obtained from the activity of the Joint Venture.
Associates are investments in which the Company has significant influence, but in which it does not have joint or individual control. Significant influence (assumed when voting rights are equal to or higher than 20%) is the power to participate in the entity's financial and operational policy decisions, without, however, exercising control or joint control of those policies.
The existence of significant influence is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
• representation in the investee's management or equivalent management body;
• participation in policy decision-making processes, including participation in decisions on dividends and other distributions;
The excess of the acquisition cost in relation to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, goodwill, is recognized as part of the financial investment in investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures. If the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the assets and liabilities of these acquired entities, the difference is recognized as a gain directly in the separate income statement.
Dividends received from these investments are recorded as gains on investments, when attributed.
The entities that qualify as subsidiaries and associates are listed in note 19.
Ibersol, SGPS, S.A. prepares consolidated accounts.
Ibersol classifies its other financial assets at the time of initial recognition in accordance with the requirements introduced by IFRS 9 in the following asset categories.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective inherent to the business model is achieved by collecting the respective contractual cash flows and if the underlying contractual cash flows represent only the payment of principal and interest. Assets classified in this category are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Loans and accounts receivable from customers are generally held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and it is expected that the underlying contractual cash flows represent only the payment of principal and interest and therefore comply with the requirements for measurement at amortized cost provided for in IFRS 9.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the objective inherent to the business model used is achieved either by collecting contractual cash flows or by selling financial assets and (if the underlying contractual cash flows represent The assets classified in this category are initially and subsequently measured at their fair value, and the changes in their accounting value are recorded against other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest
and when the financial asset is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the income statement.
c) Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets that do not meet the requirements for classification in the situations referred to above are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, residual category under IFRS 9.
Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognized on the date of their negotiation, that is, on the date on which the Ibersol undertakes to acquire or dispose of these financial assets.
Financial assets are derecognised when Ibersol's contractual rights to the receipt of its future cash flows expire when Ibersol has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards associated with its detention or when it retains, but not substantially, part of the risks and benefits associated with their detention, Ibersol has transferred control over the assets.
IFRS 9 establishes a new impairment model based on "expected losses". Therefore, Ibersol starts to recognize impairment losses before there is objective evidence of loss of value resulting from a past event. This model is the basis for the recognition of impairment losses on financial instruments held whose measurement is at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The impairment model depends on the occurrence or not of a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition. If the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, Ibersol recognizes an accumulated impairment equal to the expected loss that is expected to occur in the following 12 months. If the credit risk has increased significantly, Ibersol recognizes an accumulated impairment equal to the expected loss that is expected to occur up to the respective maturity of the asset.
Once the loss event has been verified under IFRS 9, the accumulated impairment is directly attributed to the instrument in question. The asset value is reduced and the amount of losses recognized in the income statement. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment decreases, the amount of impairment losses previously recognized is also reversed in the income statement if the decrease in that impairment is objectively related to the event after the initial recognition.
a) Other amounts receivable and financial assets
For assets receivable valued at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income, Ibersol prepares its analyzes based on the general model. In preparing this valuation, Ibersol makes estimates based on the risk of default and loss rates, which require judgment. The inputs used to assess the risk of losses on these financial assets include:
• credit ratings (to the extent available) obtained through information provided by rating agencies such as Standard and Poor's and Moody's;
• significant changes in expected performance and debtor behavior; and
• data extracted from the market, in particular on probabilities of non-compliance.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash amounts, bank deposits, other short-term investments with high liquidity and initial maturities of up to 3 months and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented in the balance sheet, in current liabilities, in the heading "Loans Obtained" item, and are considered in the cash flow statement as cash and cash equivalents.
When effected ordinary shares are classified in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the emission of new shares or options are presented in equity as a deduction, net of taxes, of entries.
Loans obtained are initially recognised at the fair value, including incurred transaction costs. Medium and long term loans are subsequently presented at cost minus any amortisation; any difference between receipts (net of transaction costs) and the amortised value is recognised in the profit and loss account during the loan period, using the effective rate method.
Loans obtained are classified in current liabilities, except when Ibersol is entitled to an unconditional right to defer the liquidation of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recorded in the income statement, except when they relate to items recognised directly in equity. The value of current tax payable is determined based on the result before taxes, adjusted in accordance with the tax rules in force.
Deferred taxes are recognised overall, using the liability method, and calculated based on the temporary differences arising from the difference between the taxable base of assets and liabilities and their values in the financial statements.
Deferred taxes are determined by the tax (and legal) rates decreed or substantially decreed on the date of the balance sheet and that can be expected to be applicable in the period of the deferred tax asset or in the liquidation of the deferred tax liability.
Deferred taxes are recognized globally using the liability method and calculated on temporary differences arising from the difference between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their values in the consolidated financial statements. However, if deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination or that at the date of the transaction does not affect either the accounting result or the tax result, it is not accounted for. Deferred taxes are determined by the tax rates (and legal) enacted or substantially enacted on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and which are expected to be applicable in the period of realization of deferred tax assets or settlement of deferred tax liabilities.
The estimated income tax (IRC) was calculated under the special taxation regime (RETGS), and the Group decided that the expense / income recognized in the subsidiaries will be reflected in other liabilities / current assets with the parent company (Note 9.2), and the tax savings being reflected in the accounts of the parent company.
The employee performance premiums are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of the year in which the payment occurs.
Provisions for costs of restructuring activities, paid contracts and legal claims are recognised when: i) Ibersol has a legal or constructive obligation due to past events; ii) it is probable that a outflow of resources will be necessary to liquidate the obligation; e iii) the obligation amount may be reliably estimated. Whenever one of the criteria is not met or the existence of the obligation is subject to the occurrence (or not) of a certain future event, Ibersol discloses a contingent liability, unless the enforceability for payment is considered remote.
Provisions are measured at the present value of estimated expenditures to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects market assessment for the period of discount and to the risk of that provision.
In accordance with the principle of accrual accounting expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their payment or receipt. The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding revenues and expenses are recognised as assets or liabilities
Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of rendering of services from Ibersol's activities, net of taxes and discounts and after eliminating internal sales.
Rendering of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, in accordance with the percentage of completion or based on the period of the contract when the service is not associated with the implementation of specific activities, but to provide continuous service. Revenue is recognized only when the performance obligation is satisfied, which depends on whether the performance obligations are met over time or whether, on the contrary, control over the good or service is transferred to the customer in a given time.
Ibersol uses derivatives financial instruments, such as exchange forwards and interest rate swaps, only to cover the financial risk witch the Group is exposed to. Ibersol doesn't use derivatives financial instruments for speculation. For the carrying amount of derivative financial instruments, Ibersol uses hedge accounting policies under the terms of the legislation in force. Derivatives financial instruments negotiation is performed by Ibersol's financial department under the policies approved by the Board of Directors. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction date fair value, being subsequently measured at each reporting date fair value. Gains or losses of fair value changes are recognised as follows.
In an operation to hedge the exposure to fair value of an asset or liability ("fair value hedge") determined as effective hedges, the fair value changes are recognised in the income statement jointly with the fair value changes of the risk component of the hedged item.
In an operation to hedge the exposure to future cash-flows of an asset or liability ("cash-flow hedge"), the effective part of the fair value changes in the hedging derivative are recognizes in equity; the ineffective part of the hedging is recognized in the income statement when it occurs.
Currently there are no foreign operational units (subsidiaries) in currencies other than the euro, therefore Ibersol is not exposed to foreign currency exchange-rate risks.
Ibersol has well identified the nature of the involved risks, guarantees through its software that each hedge instrument is followed under Ibersol's risk policy, recording thorough and formally the hedges relationships; the hedges goal and strategy; classification of the hedges relationship; description of the nature of the risk that's being cover; identification of the hedge instrument and covered item; description of initial measure and future effectiveness of the hedge; identification of the excluded, if any, part of the hedge instrument.
Ibersol will consider discontinued an hedge instrument when it is sold, expires or is realised; the hedge ceases to fulfil the hedge accounting criteria; for the cash flow hedge the expected transaction in unlikely or unexpected; the Group cancels the hedge instruments for managing reasons.
Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience and on other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonably probable within the respective circumstances.
Due to its nature accounting based on estimates rarely corresponds to the real reported results. Estimates and premises that present a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the accounting value of the assets and liabilities in the following year are described below:
The Company performs impairment tests on financial investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates whenever events or changes in the surrounding conditions indicate that the amount for which they are recorded in the financial statements is not recoverable.
In addition to the recognition of impairment in these investments, Ibersol recognizes additional losses if it has assumed obligations, or if it has made payments for the benefit of these entities.
Impairment losses are calculated by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment, corresponding to the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use, and the book value of the financial holdings.
This estimate is made based on the valuation of holdings using discounted cash flow models in order to estimate the value in use of the said investments. In the case of subsidiaries or joint ventures whose most relevant assets correspond to holdings in real estate companies or real estate assets, the fair value of said holdings is estimated by reference to the market value of the real estate assets held by those held.
It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the methodology described above leads to reliable results on the existence of any impairment of the investments under analysis since it considers the best information available at the date of preparation of the financial statements.
If, on a subsequent date, it is found that the impairment amount has decreased, and the decrease is objectively the result of a certain event that occurred after the initial recognition of the impairment, the amount then recorded is reversed up to the limit of the amount that would have been recognized, had it not been recognized any impairment loss is recorded.
The Board of Directors determines the gross budgeted margin based on past performance and its expectations for market development. The weighted average growth rate used is consistent with the forecasts included in sector reports. Discount rates are applied after tax and reflect specific risks related to CGU assets.
The current income tax is calculated based on the results in accordance with the tax rules in force at the location of the headquarters of each company included in the consolidation perimeter of Ibersol. In Portugal, the tax estimate (IRC) was calculated under the Special Regime for Taxation of Groups of Companies (RETGS).
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to use the temporary difference.
The group's activities are exposed to several financial risk factors: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
Ibersol maintains a risk management program that focuses its analysis on financial markets to minimise the potential adverse effects of those risks on the Ibersol's financial performance.
Risk management is headed by the Financial Department based on policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates, and employs financial risk hedging measures in close cooperation with the group's operating units. The Board provides principles for managing the risk as a whole and policies that cover specific areas, such as the currency exchange risk, the interest rate risk, the credit risk, and the investment of surplus liquidity.
Ibersol main interest rate risk follows its liabilities, in particular long-term loans. Loans issued with variable rates expose the group to the cash flow risk associated to interest rates. Loans with fixed rates expose the group to the risk of the fair value associated to interest rates. At the current interest rates, in financing of longer maturity periods the group has a policy of totally or partially fixing the interest rates.
The Group's main interest rate risk arises from liabilities, namely long-term loans. Loans issued at variable rates expose the Group to the cash flow risk associated with the interest rate. Loans issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the risk of the fair value associated with the interest rate. With the current level of interest rates, the policy of the group is, in financing of greater maturity, to proceed with the fixing of interest rates of around 30% of the amount owed.
Interest-bearing debt bears interest at a variable rate, having been part of an interest rate fixing through an interest rate swap derivative. The interest rate swap contracts to cover the interest rate risk of part of the loans (commercial paper) of 6.4 million euros are based on the maturity of interest and repayment plans identical to the conditions of the loans. A loan of 35.4 million euros is contracted at a fixed rate.
Considering only the cost component, an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate index would have an impact on the financing cost of 195 thousand euros.
Ibersol's credit risk stems from its liabilities, in particular from loans to subsidiaries. The credit risk is assured by the company's financial Direction, considering the historic trading relationship, its financial situation, as well as other information that may be obtained through the network business of Ibersol. If necessary, the credit limits established are regularly reviewed and revised. Credit risk is reduced.
Liquidity risk management implies maintaining enough cash and cash equivalents, the feasibility of consolidating the floating debt through a suitable amount of credit facilities and the capacity to liquidate market positions. Treasury needs are managed based on the annual plan that is reviewed every quarter and adjusted daily. Related with the dynamics of the underlying business operations, the group's treasury strives to maintain the floating debt flexible by maintaining credit lines available.
As at 31 December 2021, current liabilities amounted to 16.6 million Euros, compared to 36.5 million Euros in current assets. The non-current assets include 165 million Euros of loans to subsidiaries, of which 162 million Euros reimbursement may be requested in the short term, if necessary.
The company aims to maintain an equity level suitable to the characteristics of its main business (cash sales and accounts payable) and to ensure continuity and expansion. The capital structure balance is monitored based on the gearing ratio (defined as: net remunerated debt / (net remunerated debt + equity)) in order to place the ratio above 35%.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the gearing ratio was as follows:
| Dec/21 | Dec/20 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Loans granted | -165 348 996 | -162 448 996 | |

Impairment analyses require the determination of the fair value and / or use value of financial investments in subsidiaries. This process requires a high number of judgments, namely the estimation of future cash flows associated with said investments and the determination of an appropriate discount rate for calculating the present value of said cash flows. In this regard, Ibersol, once again, established the requirement to use the maximum possible amount of observable market data. It also established mechanisms for monitoring calculations based on the critical challenge of the reasonableness of the assumptions used, their coherence and consistency (in similar situations).
The impairment tests performed on the investments of the subsidiaries Asurebi and Iberusa did not result in impairment adjustments. The assumptions used were as follows:
| Perpetuity growth rate Portugal |
2,00% |
|---|---|
| Discount rate Portugal Spain |
6,7%/7,3% 6,4%/6,9%/7,5% |
The discount rates adopted correspond to the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) estimated for each of the segments operated in Portugal and Spain with the highest risk in those segments that have a tendency of greater resistance to the recovery from the pandemic crisis.
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, balances recognised under this heading relate to subsidiaries supplementary capital contributions. Subsidiaries supplementary capital contributions are not remunerated or have no fixed maturity.

For Commercial Paper Programs we consider reimbursement on the date of filing regardless of the terms for which they are contracted. Ibersol is a subscriber of two commercial paper programs with possibility of termination in the amount of 5.000.000 Euros, being partially issued in the amount of €3,500,000 on 31 December 2021, and at that date was assured that it would not be exercised. The rest have long maturities, from 2 to 5 years.
The Commercial Paper Program contracts include cross default clauses. Such clauses refer to breach of contract in other contracts or with fiscal breach, in which case it does not occur.
Some of the commercial paper programs in the amount outstanding as at 31 December 2021 of 38.0 million euros, include Financial Covenants (ie 58% of the total amount of loans outstanding on that date). Such covenants can be summarized as follows:
| Financial Covenants (consolidated ratios) |
|
|---|---|
| ND/EBITDA | < 4,5x a 5,5x |
| ND/EBITDA (without IFRS16) | < 3,5x a 4x |
| ND/EBITDAR | < 5x |
| Equity/Assets | > 30% |
Some contracts still have Debt/EBITDA adjusted for the effects of applying IFRS 16 (fozzen gapp)
Despite compliance with all consolidated covenants, considering the possibility of non-compliance with some of the covenants, the Ibersol Group obtained a waiver from the Banks from complying with these covenants in relation to the 2021 indicators.
Additionally, the total amount owed as at 31 December 2021 in financing for which the respective creditors are able to consider the debt overdue in the event of a change in shareholder control was 28.0 million euros (i.e. 43% of the total amount of loans outstanding on that date).
During 2021 there were no increases or amortization of other loans.
The (undiscounted) future cash flows associated with the loans (commercial paper) as at 31 December 2021 are detailed as follows:

21.1 The beginning of the military conflict triggered by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February, has resulted in high human and material losses, leading to a massive exodus of the population from the affected territories.
This situation triggered increased uncertainty about the evolution of economies and financial markets worldwide, with the following expected: i) increase in prices of fossil fuels and cereals; ii) greater volatility in interest rates and an increase in the rate of inflation; iii) possible increase in cyber-attacks, which may affect public and private entities in countries that have shown support for Ukraine or imposed sanctions on Russia.
In this context, since it is not possible, at the time, to estimate the potential effects on the operation, the Entity is attentive to the evolution of the conflict, taking the measures it deems appropriate to the development of the situation, having not been identified, to this date, any impacts material to the financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
At the end of January 2022, BK Portugal announced its decision to terminate the contract for the development of the Burger King brand in Portugal, citing failure to comply with the obligation to open 2 restaurants and remodel 3 restaurants in 2021 ( in addition to the 12 inaugurated and the 7 renovations carried out in 2021).
On March 10, 2022, Grupo Ibersol and Restaurant Brands Iberia, S.A. started negotiations on an exclusive basis, regarding a potential acquisition of Burger King restaurants, operated in Portugal and Spain, for an Enterprise Value of 250 million euros, on a cash and debt-free basis, which may be increased by up to 7 million euros, relating to the potential use of tax credits.
On the present date, the process of confirmatory due diligence is in progress and the obtaining of internal authorizations and external financing by the proposing entity, conditioning the proposal received.
The Ibersol Group will continue to operate the 157 Burger King restaurants it owns in Iberia, in accordance with the best standards of service and quality in accordance with the respective contracts in force.
