1. Message from the Chairman of the Board

The past year of 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, that spread at a global scale, causing the world economy to slow, with a deep impact on consumer's habits and behaviour. On 11 March the World Health Organisation declared the spread of Covid-19 to be a pandemic, which led to the decreeing of states of emergency in all the locations where the Ibersol Group operates, with the population confined to their homes and a general lockdown of businesses and restaurants to block transmission chains.

This situation forced our restaurants to close, with only take-away and delivery available, cutting operations down to a much smaller scale than normal potential. Following the first wave of the pandemic, the group began a gradual reopening of its restaurants, culminating in the reopening of the restaurants located in shopping centres, in June. Restaurants located in concession areas, namely airports, opened only sporadically, in accordance with the grantors, to supply the expected passenger flow, as airspace travel restrictions were lifted.

During this very demanding process, Ibersol Group, in accordance with indications of the World Health Organisation and national Health Boards, activated contingency plans that prioritised the safety of all clients and staff and guaranteed the protection of the supply chain, in order to combine the abrupt reduction of activity and job protection.

At the same time, we had to make choices regarding financial sustainability and strict governance, namely those that directly affect cost reduction, such as renegotiating contracts in search of a renewed financial balance of the same and adjust payment schedules. Additionally, we took the appropriate measures to strengthen our financial position and, to that end, we negotiated additional credit lines, as a preventive measure to boost liquidity at a time of high uncertainty.

As the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic spread, first in Spain and then in Portugal, the Group once again saw its operations limited, both in terms of sales channels and opening hours, due to the measures implemented in different countries and regions. Thus, since October, our business has always been limited, in terms of hours of operation and authorized services

This was, therefore, a very difficult year which tested our cohesion, but also a year that demonstrated our resilience and strength. We had already said that in the Ibersol Group we know that the path consists of effort and dedication, but as the year began nobody could have imagined the magnitude of the impact of this pandemic. However, as the year progressed, we managed to prove that we were prepared to rise to our responsibilities, being a large restaurant Group. Awareness of the importance of our operation to the lives of many people, and of our restaurants which open every day, from north to south Portugal, Spain and Angola, played an important role in our response.

The safety and trust of our clients and staff has also always been a strategic pillar of Group's activities, and these have been reflected in the implementation of very strict cleaning and disinfection, food safety, workplace health and safety standards in all the Group's restaurants, in catering events carried out by us, airport restaurants and other operations. Therefore, and throughout the pandemic experienced in 2020, we implemented our Safety Covid by ALS programme, with strict inspections, from restaurant to restaurant, to make sure everything conformed to the plan set according to the best practices of the modern restaurant sector, thereby increasing the safety perception of our restaurants.

It was in this context that we gathered the knowledge of our teams and the ability to mobilise to continue our operation and continue with our expansion plan. And, despite the obvious obstacles that resulted from the pandemic, we continued to open new Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants. This year will also be marked by the accelerated growth of aggregators, due to the expansion of the delivery market.

We had expected 2020 to be a very challenging year in all the latitudes in which we operate, but the Covid-19 pandemic introduced factors of uncertainty that we had never experienced before. After overcoming difficulties, we know that we will get through this challenge together, with the support and dedication of all involved. This is the attitude that ensures that, day in and day out, we receive the acknowledgement of all our stakeholders, clients, partners, suppliers, investors, and society.

2. Economic framework

Global situation

The Covid-19 pandemic had a deep impact on economic activity all over the world. According to data from Banco de Portugal, global GDP is expected to decrease 3.5% in 2020. Economic losses varied greatly between countries and sectors. The unprecedented response in terms of budget policy, in both magnitude and timing, albeit different from country to country, was crucial to mitigate the damage caused by the crisis.

Following the 9.4% drop in the first semester of 2020, when compared to the final semester of 2019, activity picked up in the third quarter, growing above expectations (7.3% in succession). The reappearance of several Covid-19 cases, especially in developed economies, led to the reintroduction of lockdown measures, conditioning activity in the hardest hit sectors and in the trust of economic agents.

Global trade dropped 9.5%, with forecasts of 7.1% growth in 2021 and 4% in 2022. Recovery will be conditioned by international tourism and transport flows and by a restructuring of global production chains.

Economic growth rates of 5.6% and 3.7% are expected for 2021 and 2022, respectively. However, these forecasts are weighed down by uncertainty, given difficulties in the vaccination process at the world, and the need for economic stimulus policies in the more fragile economies.

Situation in Portugal

Recent data from Banco de Portugal indicate a contraction of 8.1% of the Portuguese economy in 2020, a year heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Economic activity dropped by a total of 17.3% in the first semester, compared to the end of 2019. In the third quarter, following a gradual lifting of lockdown measures, activity recovered quickly, with a GDP growth of 13.3% compared to the previous quarter, benefiting from delayed spending during the lockdown period.

The recovery trajectory was reversed in the fourth quarter (-1.8% compared to the previous quarter) with the implementation of new lockdown measures in Portugal and in the main trade partners, leading to a second full lockdown in mid-January 2021.

The drop in activity in 2020 reflects a decrease in domestic demand (-6.8% in private consumption) and exports, including the very negative contribution of exports and services, particularly in tourism related services. Employment dropped by 2.3%, which was lower than expected, largely due to business support policies, namely the simplified lay-off regime.

During the first semester of 2020, families significantly reduced their consumption expenses (a -15.4% total variation, compared to the end of 2019). The impact on family revenue was softened by government measures, including moratoriums on loans. The savings rate for the first semester stood at 14.3% of available income, a 6.9 percentage point increase compared to the end of 2019, with a partial reversal in the second half of the year.

Considering a framework of gradual softening of restrictions after the first quarter of 2021, and the progressive normalisation of the activity of most economic agents (the key factor being the speedy vaccination process of the whole population) a 3.9% GDP growth is forecast for 2021, with private consumption expected to return to an upward trajectory.

Situation in Spain

Recent data from the Bank of Spain indicate that the Spanish GDP dropped 11% in 2020, because of Covid-19 epidemic control measures. The Spanish economy was one of the most deeply affected since the health crisis began, namely in the tourism sector, which represents around 12% of GDP.

Following a deep contraction in the first semester, activity recovered significantly in the second half of the year, although the recovery slowed after the summer, due to the need to reintroduce control measures.

The recovery of economic activity after the short-term depends heavily on the speed of the vaccination programme and consequent immunisation of the population. Solving the health crisis will allow for the lifting of restrictions, boosting private consumption and a enabling a gradual recovery of international tourism flows. Forecasts point to a GDP growth of 6% in 2021 and 5.3% in 2022, in a context where lockdown measures are progressively withdrawn until the end of 2021.

Situation in Angola

Recent IMF data indicate that following four consecutive years of recession, the Angolan economy suffered a contraction of 4% in 2020, due to Covid-19 effects, drops in oil prices and a reduction of oil exports. Together, these three factors devastated an already weak economy that is still heavily dependent on the oil sector.

The first Covid-19 containment measures were instituted in March 2020, leading to a general and abrupt drop of internal activity during the second quarter.

Oil and gas production dropped 6% in 2020 and the non-oil sector began a timid and gradual recovery in the second half of the year, with a forecast of GDP recovery of 1.2% in 2021 and 2.6% in 2022.

The average inflation rate remained high (22.2%) but is expected to slow progressively (19.8% in 2021 and 15% in 2022).

Despite the crisis, the IMF stresses the fact that Angolan authorities achieved a prudent budget adjustment in 2020, including non-essential expenses and preserving health and social security expenses, stabilising public finance. 2021 State Budget consolidates non-oil revenue, reducing dependency on oil revenue.

The restrictive monetary and currency exchange flexibilization policies continued in 2020. Following the softening of monetary restrictions to mitigate the impact of Covid-19, the National Bank of Angola tightened the monetary policy once more to reign in increasing inflationary tensions.

A series of measures, to be implemented under IMF supervision, are expected to create conditions for the sustained growth of the Angolan economy.

Final Note

Economic perspectives remain laden with high levels of uncertainty and are very dependent on the evolution of the pandemic and the speed of large-scale vaccination. The rhythm of recovery will be conditioned by the impact of the crisis on the productive capacity and on government policies that support economic recovery.

3. Main Events

Covid-19

The past year of 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, that spread at a global scale, causing the world economy to slow, with a deep impact on consumer's habits and behaviour.

On 11 March, the World Health Organisation declared the spread of Covid-19 to be a pandemic, which led to the decreeing of states of emergency in all the locations where the Ibersol Group operates, with the population confined to their homes and a general lockdown of businesses and restaurants to block transmission chains.

This situation forced our restaurants to close, with only take-away and delivery available, cutting operations down to a much smaller scale than normal potential.

Gradually, at the beginning of the second semester, activity began to recover, adjusted to the rules aimed at ensuring safety and reducing contagion risks, by imposing conditions on certain businesses to guarantee compliance with social distancing.

During this period, the recovery of the Group's activity was conditioned by:

  • 50% reduction of restaurant occupancy;
  • limits on opening hours of shopping centres in the region of Lisboa e Vale do Tejo;
  • suspension of flights from England and Germany;
  • absence of public at football stadiums and cancellation of events.

The increase in infections after the summer led to a second wave and an aggravation of the government-imposed measures, some of which are still in place:

  • curfew;
  • sporadic business closure;
  • limitation of opening hours;
  • restrictions on personal mobility;
  • closure of borders.

Following the indications of the World Health Organisation and the National Health Boards, the Ibersol Group activated contingency plans that prioritised the safety of all clients and employees and ensured protection of the supply chain.

In order to protect jobs, in the face of this abrupt drop in activity, the Group's companies signed on to the ERTE in Spain and the simplified and normal lay-off policies in Portugal during the months of March and April, respectively.

In Portugal, the group signed up to the Extraordinary Incentive for the Normalisation of Business Activity and, in Spain, approximately 1.370 workers remained on the ERTE until 31 December.

At the same time, cost reduction initiatives were enacted through the renegotiation of contracts, including the financial rebalancing of leases, which resulted in discounts that amounted to 10.4 million Euros.

During the year, however, it was not possible to renegotiate concession contracts for the restaurants located at the Spanish airports, due to lack of agreement by the grantor, AENA.

After having presented an initial proposal according to which minimum guaranteed leases would be dependent on the evolution of air traffic compared to 2019, as the estimates of air traffic recovery drifted towards 2024, and even 2026, AENA proceeded to reduce its support for concessionaire entities. At the end of the year, following the publishing of a legal bill that allowed tenants to apply for a 50% lease reduction or payment according to a two year moratorium, AENA decided to adopt these principles and discard previous negotiations, proposing in their place a reduction of approximately 60% on minimum guaranteed leases in 2020 and a 50% reduction on leases due until September 2021, provided the concessionaires renounced their request for a contractual rebalancing of the provisions of the contracts.

The scale of the reduction in traffic (close to 80% annually) makes business unviable and, therefore, should it not be possible to reach a reasonable agreement we shall be forced to go to court and request a rebalancing of the provisions of the contracts and move to make it impossible for AENA to execute the bank guarantees presented when the different contracts were signed.

As a result, besides the variable leases paid during the year, we made the payment required to rebalance the instalments, according to the terms of the expert reports we requested.

To understand the scale of this problem it should be explained that the business volume which would normally have been expected for a year in the Spanish airports is above 100 million Euros and the minimum guaranteed rents should reach approximately 34 million Euros. The current context determined that sales did not surpass 23 million Euros, whereas the minimum leases amounted to 35 million Euros.

Despite this setback, we are convinced that in 2021, conditions will be created that allow for the conclusion agreements that put an end to this litigation.

As of the publication date of this report, restrictions are being lifted following the third wave of the pandemic, whose evolution will be directly related to the rhythm and success of the vaccination processes.

Along with other financial institutions, Ibersol Group continues to monitor compliance of the covenants of obtained credit and guarantee the respective waivers before the end of 2020.

The Group has been updating financial plans and cashflow projections according to the evolution of the pandemic and recovery forecasts, to be able to duly monitor the Group's financial ability to settle liabilities.

On 31 December 2020, the Group had 50 million Euros in available surpluses and other investments as well as unused credit lines of up to 46 million Euros, 13 million of which mature in over one year.

4. Consolidated Financial Performance

To allow comparison with other companies in the sector and previous financial periods, the Group uses operational performance indicators, as mentioned throughout this section, the definition and explanation of which can be consulted in the glossary.

Sales and rendered Services

Consolidated business volume amounted to 288.9 million Euros by the end of the period, compared to 485.4 million Euros in 2019, which equals a 40.5% reduction.

Turnover (euro million) 2020 2019 Var.
Sales of Restaurants 281,9 469,5 -40.0%
Sales of Merchandise 5,8 12.3 -53.0%
Services Rendered 1,2 3,6 -66,0%
Turnover 288.9 485.4 -40.5%

The beginning of 2020 showed promising signs in restaurant sales, with growth rates above 15% until mid-March.

The development of the Covid-19 outbreak in early March brought about an immediate and brutal drop in demand in the restaurant business in all regions, which culminated in the closure of 73% of restaurants and losses of up to 50% in restaurant sales, following the decision to declare a state of emergency following the second week of March.

During lockdown periods restaurants were limited to providing delivery, take-away and drivethru services. This was followed by a gradual recovery after the end of the second quarter, directly related to the gradual softening of restrictions on movement and the reopening of shopping centres.

The beginning of the second wave of the pandemic in Portugal, in October, followed by the imposition of new restrictions on mobility and opening hours of trade on weekends, led to a reversal of the recovery that had taken place on the third quarter.

Drops in sales in Spain were more abrupt and losses in the second semester exceeded 55%, due to the relative weight of the "Travel" segment in the group's operations in this country, and consequently a smaller number of restaurants equipped with drive-thru, and more dependent on tourism. As at 31 December, approximately 24% of stores remained closed and forecasts point to a slower recovery.

% Operating own stores
Mês Portugal Spain Angola
April 36% 6% 60%
May 78% 24% 100%
June 94% 53% 100%
July વેરે જે જ 62% 100%

September 98% 70% 100%
October 98% 67% 100%
November 98% 73% 100%
December 98% 76% 100%

Losses in sales in restaurants located in Angola are expressed in local currency. This market was the least affected by the pandemic outbreak.

In this context, the monthly evolution of sales by segment illustrates the impact of the two waves of the pandemic which occurred during 2020, in March and towards the end of October:

The concessions and catering segment showed greater recovery difficulties, because of restrictions on mobility that penalised the Travel channel and limitations on gatherings at events in the catering channel, with most of these being cancelled or postponed.

Restaurants located in airports were strongly affected by the reduction in air travel. Although there were signs of recovery in the summer, this did not come to pass, due to the increase in Covid-19 cases in Europe.

In Spain, where the group operates restaurants in nine different airports, passenger traffic dropped 72.2%, with airports located in the Canaries and Balearic Islands suffering less than urban airports in Barcelona and Madrid, which saw drops in passengers over 80% in recent months.

In Portugal, drops in passenger traffic at airports where the group is present amounted to 70%, behaving identically to Spain, with a tendency to worsen during the 4th quarter, with losses above 75%.

In this context, and in permanent contact with the operators, the reopening of the restaurants located in the concessions were re-evaluated to adjust the offer to the expected traffic.

SALES IN RESTAURANTS
(Millions of Euro)
2020 2019 Var.
Restaurants 67.2 109.7 -38.8%
Counters 175,8 226.8 -22.5%
Concessions&Catering 38.9 133.0 -70.7%
Total Sales 281,9 469.5 -40.0%

Regarding the restaurants and counters segments, the impact of closures, restrictions of movement and limited opening hours were mitigated, to some extent, by the fact that delivery and take-away continued to operate.

The increase in delivery sales, through the boosting both of internal capacity and partnerships with home delivery operators allowed the company to obtain a sales volume that represented 22.5% of total restaurant sales for the year. However, it should be noted that these sales entail additional costs of raising and transport, which reduce the margin of this business.

The counter segment proved to be more resilient to the pandemic restrictions, with fewer losses compared to the previous year and a faster pace of recovery. Three factors contributed to this:

  • a) the impact of the expansion which occurred in the second half of 2019 and the 4th trimester of 2020, namely with the Burger King, KFC and Taco Bell brands;
  • b) the continued operation of restaurants with delivery and take-away services following the declaration of the state of emergency;
  • c) the positive performance of restaurants with drive-thru services (operated by Burger King and KFC brands) which helped overcome the losses registered in the eat-in services.

In 2020, 54 units were closed, 21 of which were franchisees, mostly located in Spain.

The closure of 26 self-owned restaurants in Spain was the result of the decision to concentrate the activities of Pizza Movil and Pizza Hut in urban centres, the decision not to renew leases on eight Pans, Ribs and Frescco restaurants and the end of the concession at the FCB stadium.

In Portugal, the Group closed 7 restaurants, including Pizza Hut, Pans, Miit and Pasta Caffé brands.

In keeping with the BK and KFC expansion strategy, seven and six new restaurants were opened, respectively, two of which in Spain.

Besides this, two new Taco Bell restaurants and one Ribs were opened in Portugal, as well as one restaurant which was still to be opened in the Barcelona airport, in keeping with the contract that began in May 2018, to fulfil obligations resulting from the adjudications the Group was given.

At the end of the period, the Group was operating 531 self-owned units, 361 of which in Portugal, 160 in Spain and 10 in Angola, and 92 restaurants of Group owned brands operated by third parties through franchises.

OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Ibersol Group's results were severely affected in 2020, reflecting the impacts of the pandemic at the level of consolidated performance. Despite some brands and sales channels having proven more resilient to operational restrictions, operational results dropped 83.9 million Euros, a drop of 24.4 percentage points in the margin. Ebitda margin for the same period dropped to 43.6 million Euros, compared to the 119.5 million Euros of the previous period.

Gross margin

The gross margin was 74.5% of business volume, 1.4 percentage points below the previous period (2019: 75.8%), demonstrating, on one hand, the effect of losses in terms of perishable raw material in the month of March, following an abrupt interruption of restaurant activity and, on the other, the limitation of operation to concepts requiring more aggressive promotion, and thereby with lower margins.

Personnel costs

Costs with personnel dropped 29.9%, with this caption having increased during 2020 to 36.9% of business volume (2019: 31,3%).

In order to protect jobs, in the face of this abrupt drop in activity, the Group's companies signed on to the ERTE in Spain and the simplified and normal lay-off policies in Portugal. The ERTE in Spain began on 18 March and still applied to 42% of staff as at 31 December 2020, which resulted in grants in the total amount of approximately 6.8 million Euros.

In Portugal only 67 employees remained in a state of normal lay-off at this same date (1.2% of the total workforce). The simplified lay-off regime applied between April and June, during which the group obtained gants of approximately 3.5 million Euros.

External Supplies and Services

External Supplies and Services costs dropped 33.7%, to 24.1% of business volume in 2020, which represents an increase in the relative weight of this caption of 2.5 percentage points when compared to the percentage of 2019, which was 21.6%

After the second quarter, some service agreements were cancelled and renegotiated, which allowed for the mitigation of some of the losses due to the closing of restaurants. However, the increase in sales through delivery forestalled any further reduction of the weight of this caption.

Due to the application of the "IFRS16 Practical Expedient" for dealing with benefits to previously agreed leases, this caption reflects 10.4 million Euros of definitive rent discounts for 2020, agreed with the lessors until 31 December and the payment of variable rents in shopping centres in Portugal, due to the application of Law 27-A/2020, between March and December.

As at 31 December, however, negotiations regarding units located in airports in Spain had not yet been concluded, which had a relevant impact on the group's accounts, representing a cost of 21.3 million Euros in the period between April and December.

Other Income and Operational Costs

Other income and operational costs, which amounted to 4.6 million Euros in 2020, represent a decrease of 3.9 million Euros compared to the previous financial period of 2019. This difference is mainly due to:

  • reduction of exchange rate differences in the amount of 2.7 million Euros;
  • reduction in income from contracts with suppliers in the amount of 3.5 million Euros;
  • the Extraordinary Incentive for the Normalisation of Business Activity, which the group signed on to in August, under which it received a grant of 1.8 million Euros.

The remaining operational costs also include approximately 1 million Euros in fees and taxes and 1 million Euros stemming from costs on write-downs of assets related to relocation and closing of stores.

Amortizations, depreciations, PPE imparity losses, right of use and Goodwill

Amortizations and imparity losses amounted to 94.5 million Euros, which translates into an increase of 7.9 million Euros, compared to 2019.

Total amortization for the period amounted to 86.2 million Euros, of which 57.3 million Euros are the amortization of rights of use, which represents an increase of 4.1 million Euros, compared 2019.

In terms of impairment losses, the effects of the pandemic on the Group's activities and the greater risk in determining the fair value of the impairment tests performed recognised recoverability losses of the following assets to the tune of 8.3 million Euros:

  • Property, plant and equipment in 5 restaurants 0,8 million Euros;
  • Pizza Móvil Goodwill 3,1 million Euros;
  • Spain Travel Goodwill 4,4 million Euros.

Given the fact that the forecasts for the recovery of air travel in Europe have been getting worse, due to delays in the Covid-19 vaccination processes, the Group adjusted its Travel forecasts to new predictions by airspace regulation entities, taking the recovery slowdown into account. Additional uncertainty regarding the negotiation process with the Spanish airports concessioner led the group to also factor in an additional risk for this business, with a worsening discount rate, which led to the recognition of the imparity indicated above.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the period rose to 43.6 million Euros, compared to 119.5 million Euros of the previous period, which represents a reduction of 63.6% compared to 2019.

The total EBITDA margin was 15.1% of business volume, compared to 24.6% in 2019.

Financial Expenses and Losses and Financial Income and gains

Financial results totalled 19.6 million Euros, which translates into a drop of 1.1 million euros when compared to the 2019 financial year.

Financial expenses and losses totalled 21.4 million Euros, which represents a reduction of 1.3million euros compared to 2019. A part of these expenses and losses, corresponds to interest with leases of 16.8 million Euros (17.5 million Euros in 2019).

Net interest supported and commissions related to financing reached a total of 3.8 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.

CONSOLIDATED NET RESULTS

Profit/(loss) before taxes

The consolidated result before taxes reached a total of -70.5 million Euros, which represents a reduction of 82.7 million Euros compared to 2019.

The value of current taxes amounts to 0.5 million Euros and deferred taxes are negative by approximately 15.6 million Euros.

6.3. Business Portfolio

The year of 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, which had a deep impact on consumers' behaviour and habits. It was also a year that put Ibersol Group's business portfolio to the test, highlighting the importance of operating through different channels and restaurants with different formats and locations.

Despite the reduction in activity and definitive closure of a relevant number of restaurants, the Group still managed to comply with part of its expansion plan for the BK and KFC brands, that showed higher resilience than other brands, with some restaurants exceeding their performance of the previous year.

Additionally, two Taco Bell units were opened in Portugal, located in the Centro Comercial Colombo, in Lisbon, and in the Mar Shopping, located in Matosinhos, as well as two Ribs restaurants and one concession in the Barcelona Airport.

At the end of the period, the total number of Ibersol group units – self-owned and franchises – was of 623 restaurants, 296 of which of our own brands.

6.4. Group's Strategic Profile

To ensure good experiences and quality of life

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.

Therefore we developed the "Viva Bem" (Live Well) programme (website and blog), where 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.

Focusing efforts on customer relations

Customers are the Ibersol Group's raison d'être, and so they are given full attention.

Our staff know that at the end of the day it is the client who pays their salary and all the rest of our costs.

That is why Ibersol always aims to meet customer expectations, anticipating trends, satisfying needs, and presenting increasingly solid options.

Developing and valuing our staff

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 increasingly used, and this is the path we will continue to follow over the coming years.

Overall management processes and logistics planning

The Ibersol Group has an organised supply chain which ensures the quality of the products it sells, from supply to sale, including logistics.

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 operates.

The centralisation of the supply chain which supports the operation 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.

Excellence in quality and safety

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. As far as the Ibersol Group is concerned, 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.

In particular we'd like to stress the certification of the Group's central production unit – Ibergourmet - Produtos Alimentares, SA (UCP Modivas) – according to an extremely demanding GFSI norm, in terms of food safety standards: FSSC 22000 (Version 5) – scope: Ready to eat and ready to heat combined products and meals, sliced, fried, cooked including "sous vide", grilled, stewed, roasted, baked, packed in thermoformed plastic containers, with or without vacuum, thermo-sealed plastic bags with MAP, flexible plastic bags sealed, vacuum and MAP, at room temperature, chilled or frozen.

An active human resources management policy and respect for the environment

Ibersol Group continues to consolidate policies for best practices in resource and waste management, as well as separation and valuation of generated waste, which are embodied in an active sustainability policy. This policy, which has proved to have positive collateral effects, has allowed for good results, with significant improvements from one year to the next.

The Group took a fresh look at the teams, energy consumption, consumables, products, and waste, and above all, took on board a strong concern for changing processes and ways of doing things.

Risk Management

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. The year of 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic, was a year especially representative of this reality.

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, also 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.

Quality and Food Safety

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:

  • Qualification and Selection of Suppliers and Products and Periodical Supplier, Products and Services Control Programme;
  • Guaranteeing that a Tracing System is in place;
  • Production Process Control in the units, through the HACCP System (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points);
  • Skills in Food Safety Development System;
  • Maintenance and Monitorisation of Measuring Device Systems;
  • Risk Management and Food Crisis System that allows for constant monitorization of existing food alert systems, for immediate response;
  • Continual improvement System, supported, among other instruments, by external audit programmes in all the Group's units, microbiological analysis programmes for raw material and finished products carried out through sampling by an accredited external entity; Complaints Treatment System. The certification audits should also be mentioned, as should the certifications themselves, according to the NP EN ISO 9001:

Quality Systems Management and NP EN ISO 22000: Food Safety Management System, which ensure that compliance to international quality and food safety standards is both sought and guaranteed;

● The "Viva Bem" programme, through which Costumers can obtain information on the Ibersol Group's Food Safety System and healthy eating habits, ensuring, in a transparent way, the necessary information to make the most adequate choices for their lifestyle.

In 2020, following the Covid-19 pandemic, specific risks were identified and managed, as described in the "Product Responsibility" chapter.

Employee Health and Safety

The Labour and Legal-Employment Relations Department is charged with managing cases relating to workplace risks and promoting labour well-being. The occurrence of work hazards or professional diseases is managed through the following programmes and measures:

  • Evaluation of workstation risks and investigation of workplace hazards;
  • Provision of information and consultation of staff in terms of Employee Health and Safety;
  • Training on safety principles and promotion of health in the integration of new personnel, recertification and change of duties;
  • Implementation of Self-protection Measures in the Ibersol Group units;
  • Awareness programmes and recognition of best safety practices and promotion of health;
  • Work station principles and practices control auditing programmes.

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.

Financial

It is the task of the Financial Management to ensure the management of different financial risks that are intrinsic to the unpredictability of the markets to which the Group is naturally exposed, namely currency exchange, interest rates, credit, liquidity, and capital risks. The Financial Management's efforts are aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of these possible risks.

Exchange rate risks

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 mostly in euros and the purchase volume outside of the Euro Zone does not take on relevant proportions.

The main source of exposure comes from investment outside of the euro zone, related to the operations developed 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.

Interest rate risks

Except for 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 to 30% of the debt.

Credit risk

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 delivery sales through aggregators, they charge customers and transfer the cash by weekly summary within eight or fifteen days.

Regarding clients, the risk is limited to the Catering and Franchisee businesses, which represent around 3.5% of consolidated business volume. The Group has taken to monitoring payments due more regularly, with the aim of:

  • Controlling credit granted to customers;
  • Analysing the age and recoverability of the values due;
  • Assessing client profile risks.

Liquidity risk

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.

Capital risk

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 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% interval.

Environmental

Risk management in the environmental sector falls under the scope of Quality Management, which is responsible for implementing and strengthening concepts of sustainability from the perspective of the adoption of more sustainable and efficient practices in all dimensions of Ibersol Group's activity.

In this context, several measures have been implemented to promote responsible and proactive behaviour and procedures that distribute shared value in the business, environment and society, in what are considered priority sectors, namely the circular economy and waste management, resource conservation and carbon footprint reduction.

It is also worth pointing out the recertification according to Norm NP EN ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Systems Management, which now covers two more important business sectors for the Group, namely the Estádio do Dragão Catering operations and the Travel – Airports operation, with all the Group's units operating in the Lisbon Airport, this is a certification that bears witness to the commitment of the whole structure to strengthen its environmental commitment in the management of its activity's impact, namely through the optimization of natural resources, environmental protection and carbon footprint reduction.

6.5.3.5. Legal

The Ibersol Group and the business area it covers are supported by a permanent legal office that works in tandem with other central and business functions to ensure preventive protection of the Group's interests in respect for the strict fulfilment of its legal obligations. The legal office is also supported, at a national and international level, by external collaborators of renowned competence.

6.5.3.6. Sectoral

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. 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.

With the acquisition of the Eat Out Group, the Ibersol Group came to have a significant part of its business volume in concession spaces in airports, which are attributed by tender, for a determined time, and whose renewal is not guaranteed.

Finally, operating in the food sector, possible pandemics or distortions in the supply markets, changes in mobility and consumption patterns, can have important impacts on contractual compliance and financial results.

7. Financial Year Activity

7.1 Restaurants

The restaurant segment is composed of 134 restaurants which generated a turnover of around 67.2 million Euros.

Pizza Hut (Portugal)

Created in 1958, Pizza Hut celebrated 30 years in Portugal, following a successful journey that began in 1990 with the inauguration of the first Pizza Hut restaurant in Avenida Fontes Preira 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 the operations, product and training.

The brand covers the mainland and islands with 97 units in operation and over 1,800 employees.

Pizza Hut was not immune to the crisis caused by the pandemic, which still assails the country, and the situation led to the temporary suspension of some services and restaurants. However, the "new normal" was re-established as soon as possible, through the activation of a strict safety plan called "IN HUT WE TRUST", with Pizza Hut adopting new actions and routines to ensure the safety of both clients and staff, paying close attention to the evolution of the situation and all the recommendations from the National Health Board.

The strengthening of safety measures can be seen in the approval of the SAFETY COVID by ALS inspection, a rigorous international approval process that ensures maximum safety for employees and clients in the restaurants and throughout the whole operation.

Throughout the period, and to be in line with the evolution of the pandemic and market and client expectations, we strengthened our Delivery operation, applying it to new sites such as Évora, Torres Vedras, Covilhã, Castelo Branco and Vila Real and increased availability in most cities to 1 AM. At the same time, and with our clients in mind, we launched "Cheesy Bites" and "Rodízio at Home" to provide the best brand experience possible, without neglecting the innovation factor which has always characterised the brand, through launchings such as "Triple Box" and "My Box".

In the summer months, from north to south and in the autonomous archipelagos, Pizza Hut invested in opening terraces in some of the most emblematic restaurants in the country, thereby meeting the expectation of our fellow countrymen who are looking to eat outside.

Pizza Hut is committed to satisfying the needs of the modern consumer, especially in the current context, and therefore made a constant effort to modernise its digital assets and strengthen its electronic ordering and payment methods, access to digital menus and QR Code ordering, the availability of online tracking for orders and other digital features.

During 2020 Pizza Hut remained strongly committed to keeping up the full operation of its restaurants, through a strategy of resilient communication based on enhancing the heritage of its historical successes, in a renewed and SAFE version, highlighting the relaunch of the "SAFE Pizza Rodízio", now table-served and the "SAFE Lunch" Buffet.

The consolidation of the global brand strategy was maintained, and this effort has received ample international recognition through Yum! Brands and Pizza Hut International.

Despite the negative context, Pizza Hut remained firm in its continued investment in training, acknowledgment and retention of talent, and the execution of operational excellence, both at a services level, encouraging the formation of qualified, consistent, and motivated teams, and at the product level. At the same time, following the guidelines of the Health Board, the brand increased the frequency of hygiene and cleaning protocols in all its components, as well as the hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and social conduct measures in all its activities. Despite the situation, Pizza Hut never abandoned its social responsibility and community involvement, and developed several activities over the year, namely support for professionals on the frontline of the fight against the pandemic.

Since it began operating in Portugal, in 1990, Pizza Hut invested in the "Pan Pizza" which, coincidentally, celebrated its 40th anniversary, worldwide, in 2020. The Pan Pizza conquered the Portuguese, who fell in love with its typical deep and soft dough.

The brand has kept up its multiplatform communications strategy, with a stronger digital presence. Digitalisation was one of the more important aspects of the brand and, in 2020, the digital channel accounted for almost 50% of orders, making this the best year for the channel's performance. Continued investment in digital communication channels (including the strengthening of search communication and expansion to YouTube) and the constant improvement of systems contributed to this result, this having been the year in which the ordering site was revamped, and the Mobile ordering APP was consolidated. Pizza Hut also consolidated its partnership with delivery aggregators – to keep in the forefront of market trends – which has proven to be a great success.

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 and Glovo, which it uses both for its own and for third-party deliveries.

This period 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 translated into the 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 a higher fulfilment of standards).

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. There was also time for team celebrations, including the brand's tribal dance and a series of other events carried out to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

Investment was also made in safety training for our delivery staff, through the implementation of a course and digital certification of safe driving procedures and safety procedures for home delivery. Also noteworthy is the fact that the restaurants located in Colombo Shopping Centre, Alameda Shop&Spot, NorteShopping, Foz (Porto) and Continente de Matosinhos were once again certified according to the ISO 22000 standard. These are examples of the care and strict requirements that the Brand places on its consumers' food safety.

During 2020 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, launching a second edition of Menu10, a loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Pizza Hut (Angola)

The declaration of a state of emergency in Angola after 27 March, following the World Health Organisation's decision to label the outbreak a pandemic, let to the adoption of several restrictions on the operation of restaurants throughout the year of 2020, including occupancy restrictions and shorter opening hours that were somewhat offset by the possibility of staying in operation through the limited use of take-away and delivery services.

Delivery sales, resulting from a partnership with local delivery service aggregator Tupuca, rose to a total of 40% of sales across all segments.

The Marketing Plan was strengthened in the second semester, with campaigns revolving around the 40th anniversary of the Pan Pizza, the launching of the "Triple Box" and the celebrations of the brand's 5th anniversary. This allowed for innovation of the offer and maintaining communications channels open to the clients.

Despite this being a particularly difficult year, Food Health and Safety demands remained strict, with the implementation of biosafety measures and contactless service. Client satisfaction also grew, to 87% (GES Indicator).

Social responsibility initiatives were maintained, with Pizza Hut again joining the "AD HOPE" initiative against hunger, along with the KFC brand.

In terms of Human Resources, the policy of skill building among local resources was maintained for the 29 members of staff.

Pizza Hut (Spain)

The Ibersol Group opened its first three restaurants in Spain in 2017. The financial year of 2020 began with 5 units in operation, 4 in Vigo, directed towards home delivery service, and 1 restaurant in Oviedo.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a state of emergency was declared in Spain on 15 March, leading to the closure of the 5 Pizza Hut restaurants. When restrictions were lifted only 3 of the 5 restaurants resumed activity. One of the restaurants in Vigo remained closed and the restaurant located in the Intú Shopping Centre, in Oviedo, was sold.

The Group currently operates 3 restaurants and employs a staff of 48 employees.

2020 saw the consolidation of results obtained in previous years through the Assured Customer Experience (ACE) programmes, all restaurants are 100% Standard and Guest Experience Surveys (GES) ranked higher than the brand on the Spanish market.

These results become more relevant if you bear in mind the challenges generated by the pandemic over the last three quarters of 2020.

The 3 restaurants that remained in operation adopted all the protocols decreed by the Spanish Ministry of Health and the Contactless procedures implemented by the Pizza Hut brand in Spain.

During the third quarter Pizza Hut Spain began a progressive commercial convergence which led to a reorganisation of the price structure and promotional offers. This brought on a more modern image, better adapted to Pizza Hut's international standards.

September saw the global celebration of the 40th anniversary of the "Pan Pizza" dough and the local, continental and global "Fan Of the Pan Pizza Challenge" competition, which involved and mobilized the restaurant staff.

This competition sought to reward the restaurant that managed to prepare the largest amount of "Pan Supreme" pizzas, swiftly yet precisely, in five minutes.

Pizza Hut Flórida ranked in the top 5 of the Spanish market.

In 2020, UberEats joined Glovo and Deliveroo as home delivery aggregator services, thereby strengthening the brand's position in the city of Vigo in this field, which proved to be essential during lockdown periods that increase the demand for home consumption.

During December, Pizza Hut launched a challenge for the city of Vigo to surpass, in both number and impact, the Christmas lights of New York. Our contribution was over 5.000 led lightbulbs that boosted Pizza Hut's commercial image at a national level and generated plenty of enthusiasm around the competition.

Pasta Caffé (Portugal)

Pasta Caffé reached the end of 2020 with three restaurants, two of which operating in high traffic shopping centres, one in Norteshopping and another in Arrábida Shopping, both of which boasting home delivery services and employing 46 employees.

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 the 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. The drop in demand was especially severe in these units since customers tended to prefer fast over the counter meals instead.

Changes to consumption patterns within the food courts led the brand to decide to close all units that were not contributing and whose locations could be used for more commercially attractive concepts.

However, the reduction in the number of restaurants did not keep the brand from maintaining team training processes, and the NorteShopping unit was recertified according to the APCER ISO 22000 norms.

Regarding customer's opinions, we continued to consolidate the "Pasta Experience" programme, an on-line platform where the customer evaluates 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 allowed us to identify changes that led to an improvement in the satisfaction of our guests.

During the year, the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, launching Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Pizza Móvil (Spain)

Pizza Móvil ended 2020 with 22 operational restaurants, 8 of which are franchises, employing a staff of 238 in its self-owned restaurants.

The year was marked by Covid-19, which led to the closing of units and a massive decline in sales.

During 2020 the brand innovated through product, launching "Bocaditos", with the aim of increasing the reach of complements to the main product.

Pizza Móvil once again affirmed its communication, freshness and quality through the "Galicia Calidade" seal.

The brand also continues to invest in increasing awareness amongst the young, sponsoring women's youth league football, sponsoring the Galician Football Federation and lending its name to the Pizza Móvil League, sporting the brand on all kits.

The Pizza Móvil brand also strengthened its relations with the youth, through a publicity stunt in the Vigo, Orense and Santiago University calendar.

RIBS (Spain)

The brand reached the end of 2020 with a total of 251 employees and 33 restaurants in Spain.

During the period, a new restaurant was opened by a franchisee in La Torre Outlet (Saragoça) and closed four franchisees: Alfonso I (Saragoça), Paterna (Valência), El Osito (Valência) and H2O (Madrid) and one self-owned restaurant in Faro de Guadiana (Badajoz),

Ribs – the True American 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 and 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 every year.

In terms of innovation, the brand continued to launch quality products, with a genuine and innovative offer, such as the 2020 launch "The Real Smoked". The brand has positioned itself as an authentic American reference through the grill concept, of which we highlight the "original Ribs". It does so through the traditional original Texas barbecue, with the meat grilled slowly, at a low temperature, using a low & slow concept, and smoked using choice wood, giving it an intense and unique flavour.

Ribs has, once again, demonstrated its commitment to innovation and standing apart from the competition by incorporating the Brisket, a high-quality premium product, and one of the most valued stars of American cuisine today, into the national market. It has also increased its range of ribs and sandwiches, with the "Beef Rib" and the "Brisket Sandwich", also made from Brisket meat, a succulent and tasty cut that is smoked at a low temperature for over 12 hours over American Walnut wood.

Despite restrictions, Ribs continued to focus on major celebrations (4th of July, Halloween, and Christmas), and offers a completely safe experience, thanks to its strict health and safety protocol, which allows it to offer maximum safety guarantees every step of the process.

In 2020, one of the main events was the consolidation of the delivery channel in all self-owned restaurants and franchises and their revitalisation through specific promotions and campaigns.

Ribs works tirelessly to improve its operational excellence and in 2020 it implemented an external quality control system in all its own locations and franchises, based on brand quality standards and food safety controls. In 2020 the Ribs La Maquinista restaurant saw its NP ISO 22000 and NP ISO 9001 certifications renewed.

At the level of Human Resources, the Ibersol Academy (Moodle training platform) tool was implemented in all restaurants and franchises.

RIBS (Portugal)

The brand, which has 25 employees, has operated in Portugal since 2018, with a restaurant in the Centro Vasco da Gama, in Lisbon. During 2020 a second restaurant was opened in the Forum Almada, also based on counter service, but with a pleasant table area.

The food offer is smaller than in the brand's larger markets and is centered 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.

Santamaria (Spain)

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.

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. And let us not forget our drinks, which are famous both for their taste and the containers we serve them in.

FrescCo (Spain)

The brand ended 2020 with a total of 103 employees and 7 restaurants in Spain, 2 of which are self-owned (both of which in Barcelona) and 5 are franchises, spread out over the Spanish territory.

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 on the spot, right before their eyes.

The self-owned restaurants were totally remodelled and have adopted the new Market Buffet concept, which has also begun to be implemented in the remaining restaurants.

7.2. Counters

The set of brands that the Ibersol Group operates in the counters segment reached the end of 2020 with 279 restaurants and a turnover of 175.8 million Euros.

KFC (Portugal)

During 2020, KFC kept its focus on the Strategic Multiannual 20/20 Strategy, initiated in 2015, with the aim of positioning the brand among the leaders in Modern Restaurant Services in Portugal.

The Brand closed 2020 with 491 employees and 35 units – 5 new restaurants in Porto, Santarém, Portimão, Sintra, Seixal, and Loures.

Expansion, both in terms of the number of restaurants and home delivery, and the refurbishing of restaurant in Fórum Almada, contributed to keeping the brand vibrant and penetrating new markets, that are increasingly solicited by our clients, despite an extremely difficult year, marked by restrictions in the restaurant sector aimed at controlling the Covid-19 pandemic.

Two major projects left their mark on this year: Win On Taste (WOT) and "Speed of Service". These projects also introduced a series of clear product and service quality-focused goals, bearing in mind important indicators such as food flavour and speed – based on customer feedback obtained by the Guest Experience Survey (GES) – and World Class Operational procedures, due to 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 restaurant retention skills. Besides the HeartStyles – Leading With Heart programme was also launched to train brand team managers to improve their workplace interpersonal relationship skills, this year we also added the "RGM#1" (Restaurant General Manager) project, aimed at strengthening management skills, tutoring sessions and Unit Manager results presentations.

As for Marketing, this year saw more promotional activity at the Everyday and Disruptive Value level, including the launching of several versions of the classic "Megabox" and new and innovative products such as the "Chicadilla", the "Kentucky Cheese", "Tower Double Bacon", "Waffles", and others.

Promotion for the home Delivery service was also increased, with a five-week presence of television ads, in partnership with Glovo and UberEats, and a constant presence of activation campaigns for new compositions and products that contributed to a high increase of brand notoriety.

The digital part played a fundamental role in getting the word out on restrictions and new requirements related to Covid-19. A special mention should go to the increasing investment in Google My Business, an increase in the communications dynamic and boosting of Social Media 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.

During 2020, the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, launching Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

KFC (Angola)

KFC reached the end of 2020 with 9 operating restaurants, and 259 employees.

Angola's macroeconomic context continued to condition business, due to loss of purchasing power, aggravated by the Covid-19 global pandemic, that was declared in March and led to a forced suspension of operation in units that did not have Drive-Thru or Delivery services during long periods of time, over the year.

With a view to helping overcome our consumers' difficulties, we redesigned some of the brands value offers, creating new product offers and specialised menus with very competitive prices (menu Bucket for one; Wednesday promos; crazy Fridays; Much for Little campaign).

The year was marked by strong growth in home delivery services, in partnership with a local aggregator, which contributed to offsetting the drop in sales in the Angolan restaurant industry, due to Covid-19 restrictions.

We 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, namely visors, surgical masks, gloves, disinfectant, temperature detection, acrylic protection for client contacts and other legal measures that were decreed in the meantime, especially during the full or partial lockdown periods.

Measures for safeguarding clients were also implemented, namely 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 341,000 fans on Facebook and 11,430 on Instagram. Further communication continued to take place through digital tools, outdoors and radio.

We continue to invest heavily in staff training, to improve the know-how of our local employees. Besides all our restaurant managers being Angolan, 2020 saw the first promotion of an Angolan to the position of coordinator.

We continued to participate in the AD HOPE hunger relief initiative, as part of our Social Responsibility initiative, donating money to Caritas Angola, raised by the company and our clients.

KFC (Spain)

The brand reached the end of 2020 with 2 restaurants. Besides the restaurant near Seville, in the Metromar Shopping Centre, that was opened in 2019, a new, stand-alone restaurant opened in Huércal de Alméria, complete with a Counter, Drive-Thru, Self-Order Kiosks, Take-Away and Delivery services, a large dining room and terrace, sporting the new K3 image, located in the Retail CEMAR, at the beginning of the year.

Covid-19 pandemic containment measures also affected this market and the restaurant sector, especially in Andaluzia, where we operate, which did not, however, stop the brand from investing in a strong Marketing and Communication strategy, presenting KFC as a vibrant, young, dynamic, and culturally integrated brand.

We continue to invest 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 elearning tools (Learning Zone) and we follow daily all the main product and service quality indicators – GES, ROCC – with a focus on speed, which allowed a significant impact on Drive-Thru and Delivery service times.

The growth of the Delivery business, using aggregators, was particularly significant, especially given the limits on in-house service due to the pandemic. The brand began working with Deliveroo, alongside Glovo and UberEats, and concentrated on continued activations on the aggregator's apps, through exclusive Value and Bundle offers, aggressively communicated along all existing channels, allowing us to strengthen our notoriety, notwithstanding the adverse environment.

Burger King (Portugal)

Burger King closed 2020 with 107 restaurants and a total of 2034 employees.

In 2020, the brand opened 5 new units in Portugal – Barreiro, Madalena do Pico (Azores), Torres Vedras, Rio Maior and Montemor-o-Novo, investing mainly in street locations with all restaurants equipped with Drive-Thru services.

A large investment was also made in refurbishing some restaurants with a more outdated image, such as in Castelo Branco, Funchal, Lisbon, Torres Vedras, Matosinhos, and Vila do Conde.

A total 30 more units adopted the Home Delivery service during 2020. This service is now present in 49 restaurants, which represents 48% of the total number of Burger King units. This is going to be one of the brand's main investments over the coming years.

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. Burger King is increasingly marketing itself as a brand that wants to democratise the consumption of alternatives to meet and launched the "Plant based Nuggets" alongside the pre-existing "Plant based Whopper".

The brand stands out for its irreverence and always tries to communicate with plenty of humour. This mission illustrates quite well the sort of connection it aims to establish with the consumer.

In 2020 we also 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.

Once again, the brand renewed certification according to ISO 22000 norms for 4 restaurants: Alameda Shopping, Norte Shopping, Colombo and Cascais.

During 2020 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, launching Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Burger King (Spain)

The end of 2020 saw the number of Ibersol Group Burger Kings in Spain stand at 38, with 1012 employees.

A new unit was opened in Spain, in Talavera. The brand has mostly concentrated on street locations, equipped with Drive-Thru services.

A large investment was also made in refurbishing some restaurants with a more outdated image, such as in Moratalaz Alto, Albufera, Tui, Almansa e El Torreon.

2020 was marked by a struggle for survival, with a pandemic, temporary closure of restaurants and employees on ERTE. Internal safety protocols were implemented for the staff, and external ones for clients. The Prevention Department took on an important role, tracking positive cases and dealing with the coordination and organisation of all the steps that were enacted to fight the virus.

We decided to concentrate Drive-Thru and Home Delivery services in the same units, trying to make them as cost-effective as possible and allowing for the reopening of all restaurants. These two segments grew exponentially, with Take Away increasing at a slower rate, due to closures and restrictions on over-the-counter sales.

As in Portugal, the brand has continued to invest in increasingly aggressive promotional campaigns.

We invested in improving the speed of service, through the Improved layout, DSS OPS Process and Digital integration projects. New products were made available to meet rising demand: "King Selection" (Gourmet), "Plant based Whopper" and "Plant based Nuggets". In terms of sustainability, plastic containers have been being replaced with plastic free solutions. We make sure to use only the best ingredients, free of artificial products, to provide tasty meals.

We also launched our "My Burger King" loyalty programme, with special offers, prizes, and free products.

Pans & Company (Portugal)

In Portugal, Pans & Company reached the end of 2020 with 49 points of sale (42 Pans & Company restaurants and 7 Cafe Pans kiosks) and a staff of 372.

The financial year of 2020 was naturally marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact of the governmental restrictions on our sector, from the second half of March onwards.

The restrictions imposed on the population in general, and on the restaurant sector in particular, had a very serious and unprecedented negative impact on the business volume and profitability of our restaurants. On the other hand, the need to develop a contingency plan to face up to the pandemic resulted in a revision of a significant number of operational procedures, to ensure safe operations for both our clients and our staff.

In this regard, during 2020 our teams concentrated on strict control of cost structures, thorough compliance with implemented safety measures and increasing business volume in the different sales channels we are present in, with a focus on Delivery and Take-Away which, for large parts of the year, were the only sales channels available to our clients.

In 2020 we also opened a new self-standing Cafe Pans – the Pans brand for the coffee shop sector – point of sale in the GaiaShopping shopping centre.

During the year, the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, promoting the second edition of Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Pans & Company (Spain)

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 and, as of 2019, Moroccan markets.

In Spain, Pans & Company ended 2020 with 86 restaurants, 8 of which in concession areas, and a staff of 1.341.

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. Many of these repercussions are also the consequences, in varying degrees, of national and regional government-imposed restrictions to help fight the spread of the virus. A number of these restrictions caused an unprecedented impact on business volume, invoicing and profitability of our points of sale, as well as in the management of the franchises.

To adapt to this new scenario and make sure our restaurants were Covid-19-free and safe spaces for our staff and for our clients, we had to undergo a thorough revision of our operational procedures and, in particular, our Health and Safety protocols. We continue to maintain and strengthen these today.

A quick strategic adaptation saw our teams concentrate on strict control of cost structures, thorough fulfilment of implemented safety measures and increasing business volume in the different sales channels we are present in, with a focus on Delivery and Take-Away which, for large parts of the year, were the only sales channels available to our clients.

Regarding innovation, most of our effort was directed towards our sandwich range, which continues to be the brands' main offer. Therefore, and even though the innovation campaigns were deeply affected by the aforementioned context, both in terms of duration and timing, the brand made a point of surprising its clients. "Braided, the best of ties", with a new type of braided bread using two exclusive recipes (pastrami cheddar and truffled chicken) and the launching of "#MuyAmerican", with the new and irresistible Barbecue Riblets, were two of our main promotions during 2020. Not to mention the relaunching of "Pans Experience", an innovative commercial format which is exclusive to our brand. These are some of the launches that reflect our brand's commitment to continue to offer, even in an adverse setting, innovative proposals within the context of its main product, strengthening its base and, therefore, improving its position of leadership in the segment in Spain.

Miit (Portugal)

Miit ended 2020 with one unit in operation, located in Norteshopping and employing a staff of 11.

Launched at the end of 2012, Miit is a restaurant proposal centred on the provision of a healthy and balanced offer in the competitive "counter" segment in shopping centres.

As a specialist in grilled meat, the brand aims to be recognised as a tasty and healthy option in shopping centres, offering its customers high quality meats and unique side dishes, such as fruit and grilled vegetables, rustic potatoes, or scented rice, for an adequate price. The concept behind MiiT responds to a trend observed in Portuguese consumers who are increasingly aware of the need to practice a healthy and balanced diet.

The Miit Norteshopping saw its ISO 22000 quality standard certification renewed in 2019.

Miit is one of the Group's brands that is part of the partnership with the Continente Card, through which it offers exclusive promotional advantages to its clients.

During 2020 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, promoting the second edition of Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Taco Bell (Portugal)

At the end of 2019 Ibersol launched Taco Bell – the famous restaurant brand inspired by Mexico and with a Californian touch, owned by the YUM! Group – in Portugal.

In 2020 two more restaurants were opened, one in Mar Shopping Matosinhos and another King Size format space in the Colombo Shopping Centre.

Taco Bell finished 2020 with 4 operational restaurants and 89 employees.

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.

At Taco Bell you can try exclusive products such as Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas or the innovative Crunchywrap.

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 Millenials and Generation Z.

With over 7,400 restaurants worldwide, Taco Bell is a reference in the Mexican inspired food sector and the Ibersol Group wanted to make the Taco Bell ring out in Portugal, giving the population the opportunity to try the exclusive offer of this successful brand.

Following restrictions put into place during the first state of emergency in Portugal, which began on 21 March, Taco Bell was forced to close several of its restaurants. In May, these reopened, stronger than ever and with novelties for all its followers.

Safety and comfort measures for clients and staff were implemented and strengthened, including acrylic barriers at the counters, social distancing markers on the floor, hand sanitation stations, stronger hygiene and cleaning protocols, mandatory mask use and specific Covid-19 training for staff.

All the brand's restaurants were certified by the SAFETY COVID by ALS programme. The reopening was celebrated with the launching of a Taco Tuesday, a unique campaign that has been successful in other countries, where the client can choose Tacos for only 1 euro.

On 15 June Taco Bell adapted its operations to home delivery, in partnership with UberEats. All orders are sealed, ensuring maximum safety.

Simultaneously the Ibersol Group picked the digital Legendary People + Ideas agency to take over Taco Bell's digital strategy in Portugal, adopting a relaxed, close, and entertaining tone and elevating and strengthening Taco Bell's position in the domestic market.

In October we began to introduce the digital kiosk platform to our restaurants. These represent a natural interface for our target-audience and our goal was to improve the experience and speed of service, using a simple and intuitive application.

During the year of 2020 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, promoting the second edition of Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

With regards to Social Responsibility, Pans participated in various community outreach projects, including the "Thanks to Many" initiative, in partnership with the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks.

7.3 Travel, Concessions and Catering

The business volume of this group of 118 restaurants totalled 38.9 million euros.

TRAVEL (Portugal)

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 circulations and the closure of borders, as well as limits on sales within the units.

Service Stations (Portugal)

The motorway service stations are an important segment of activity for the Ibersol Group, which at the end of the year operated 24 units, with 166 employees.

This business segment was already showing some signs of recovery, 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.

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 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 Coffe & Food is the cafeteria brand which is present in most Sol service stations. This brand is also present in Portuguese airports, where we operate 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.

During this year we refurbished the interior of units in Vouzela and rebranded the Go to Caffé brand.

During the year of 2020 the brand also strengthened its partnership with the Continente Card, promoting the second edition of Menu10, an Ibersol Group loyalty programme based on the Continent Card APP, with unique and differentiating promotional advantages.

Train Stations (Portugal)

The Group operates a unit in Campanhã Station. During the financial year the unit was refurbished and had its brand changed to Go To Caffé.

Airports (Portugal)

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 Coffe & Food, Clocks, Nove, Specially, Cockpit Coffe&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.

Catering (Portugal)

In an unprecedented global context, 2020 was marked by the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) and its impact on economies and families.

Our activity ceased on 11 March, but our teams continued to work and by adapting our operations the restaurants were able to prepare for the reopening of the economy in May 2020. Over this period work was adjusted and we prepared for a new way of looking at the world and at catering events.

The catering of the Ibersol Group, represented by the Palace Catering and Silva Carvalho Catering brands, ended 2020 with a significant drop in sales relative to the previous year in the Porto and Lisbon markets. Our brands held more than 300 events and served over 70.000 customers.

Realising that the "new normal" will be a big challenge, we were selected to cater to many events, such as the National Internal Medicine Congress (CNMI), the largest post-pandemic event, in terms of sales volume, with around 500 participants over four days, for which we obtained a Covid Safety certificate.

Also worth mentioning were our participations in notable events such as Portugal Fashion, the Environment Ministry's Climate Action Conference, CITIES Forum 2020 (together we shape a sustainable urban future) and the Cancer Research Congress.

During the year we invested in food safety training, adjusting our content to Covid-19, having obtained Covid Safety certification for our units.

The Dragão Stadium catering service and the VOG Tecmaia restaurant were certified according to NP EN ISO 22000 norms.

The pandemic also changed the reality at football games, but Silva Carvalho adjusted to this new reality in both the Dragão and Alvalade stadiums.

At the Dragão Stadium we catered to 25 Futebol Clube do Porto games, as well as other events, including the National Team's game against Croatia, in September.

We catered to 23 games in Alvalade and served a total of 18,000 meals, including the Champions League Final in June.

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 Porto University Club, which we have explored exclusively since 2016, continues to be a favourite for our clients. This multifaceted space has hosted a variety of events, from private parties to corporate, and is also home to our restaurant that is open to the public from Monday to Friday, for lunch, with an executive menu. In 2020 we organised 30 events in this space, including 5 weddings.

In terms of values and sustainability principles, catering has an active role in supporting humanitarian causes, through the donation of food and meals. In 2020, more than 22,000 meals were donated to various national institutions, such as Refood, in Lisbon, and the Coração da Cidade, in Porto.

In 2020 we managed to maintain our market position and we are sure that we will be able to rise to the different challenges and projects that 2021 will bring us.

This year of 2021 was extra challenging. Aware of the economic difficulties that the world will be going through, we believe that the return of consumer confidence will help with the resurgence of our activity. We are looking forward to a year that will demand maximum dedication from our teams, which will be keeping an eye on the signs from the market and maintaining the product and service quality standards that our clients have become used to.

Travel (Spain)

This division of the Group is dedicated to managing 58 restaurant points of sale in Spain, located in 9 airports, 3 train stations and other tourism installations.

These points of sale are operated by 28 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, 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.

2020 was marked by a significant reduction, of around -73%, in airport traffic, due to the pandemic leading to the temporary closure of most of the units.

During the financial year we opened a central production unit to support operations in the Barcelona airport.

During this period, the Group's Travel division employed a staff of 895, positioning itself as one of the sector's leaders in Spain.

8. Environmental Performance

We respect and work to improve the world we live in

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 is a constant concern.

Despite the context of 2020, we remain 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

  • Structures/environmentally efficient restaurant models (construction materials/energetic efficiency of infrastructure, solar energy,…);
  • Energy efficient equipment and lightbulbs;
  • Programmes, procedures and devices that reduce energy and water consumption;
  • Use of recycled materials, reduction in quantity of containers, use of biodegradable materials;
  • Minimisation of waste produced.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY:

Promotion of recycling habits and transportation of used edible oil residues to be turned into biodiesel.

SUSTAINABLE PROCEDURES AND CUSTOMER RELATIONS

  • Minimising the use of disposables + residue processing e.g.: reducing the number of straws and cup lids and ensuring that waste is separated;
  • Reducing food waste;
  • Use of locally sourced and seasonal ingredients on menus;
  • Practices and communication in line with Group policy.

SUPPLY CHAIN

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 2020 the Group renewed certifications according to Norm NP EN ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Systems Management, which certifies that the whole structure is committed to bettering its environmental performance in the management of natural resources, environmental protection and reducing its carbon footprint. This certification was also extended to the Estádio do Dragão Catering operations as well as all the Group's units in the Lisbon Airport.

8.1. Packaging and Packaging Waste

Over the past years, and especially in 2020, we have witnessed increasing pressure to reduce consumption of single-use plastic. For this reason, a taskforce was created to try and identify processes to minimise the use of single-use containers, solutions for environmentally sustainable containers and to boost principles of circularity in our performance.

Besides this, and to ensure the correct disposal and treatment of this waste, we also improved markings on service containers, which now include information about correct disposal, to guarantee their adequate treatment.

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.

Equally relevant was the fact that all the Group's units took on an active role in the selection and separation of waste (paper/cardboard, plastic/metal, and glass), which was carried out daily in all restaurants and offices.

It was in this context, and within the scope of our partnership with the Sociedade Ponto Verde, that we communicated in our internal newsletter the #naotesepararesdoessencial campaign, which insists on the idea that recycling must become a daily habit.

Given the importance of the issue, the performance of the packaging waste indicator is watched carefully. In 2020 around 2 tonnes of waste were generated, an increase of 15% compared to 2019, which is explained by the Ibersol Group's increased use of take-away and home delivery services, opening of new restaurants and greater use of aggregator services such as Glovo and Uber Eats, covering more points of sale and territory.

Production of packaging waste – service packaging delivered to customers and raw-material and product packaging – is inevitable in a sector such as that in which the Ibersol Group operates and became even more relevant in the context of a pandemic such as that which was experienced in 2020, with an increase in take-away and home delivery services.

Total 1 348 812 605 092 1 953 903

8.2. Cooking Oils

The production of cooking 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 2020 approximately 550 tonnes of used cooking oils were sent to biodiesel production.

8.3. Consumption of Resources

The Ibersol Group has adopted measures to reduce the consumption of electricity, gas, and water, allowing for the identification of energy efficiency, namely through the renovation and/or modernisation of already installed technical systems.

Lighting

The Ibersol Group adopted the use of LED lighting in new stores and replacing lighting in existing stores with LED lightbulbs.

Replacing incandescent lightbulbs with LEDs allows for savings of up to 90% and, despite their higher cost compared to low consumption lightbulbs, last longer, providing around 50 thousand hours of instantaneous light when turned on.

Not all areas in a restaurant require the same type of lighting, nor do they require the lights to be on for the same period. The intensity and degree of lighting is also different if one wants to achieve better energy efficiency.

Besides replacing the lightbulbs, based on increasing efficiency and to achieve adequate lighting of the space, thereby reducing and optimising energy consumption, the Group decided upon:

  • Painting walls and ceilings in light colours, to reduce the need for artificial lighting;

  • Preferential use of natural light;

  • Turning off lights in rooms that are not being used, adopting movement sensors in the halls, changing rooms and warehouses;

  • Frequent cleaning of lightbulbs and accessories to ensure a good lighting without increasing power usage;

  • Verifying outside lighting and timers.

Kitchen equipment

Kitchen equipment, such as refrigerators, toasters, ovens, dishwashers, air-conditioning, exhaust motors and freezing and conservation chambers, among others, are the major energy consumers in the Ibersol Group restaurants.

When these appliances are purchased it is necessary to compare estimated energy consumption and choose those that appear to be more efficient and adequate for their purpose, whenever possible. However, careful handling can also lower the impact of their use on the energy bill.

Regarding this equipment, it is possible to adopt a series of measures that allow for savings in consumption without further investment.

The proper use of dishwashers was elaborated on:

  • Make the best use of the full capacity of the machine, using full loads;
  • Using shorter and more economic cycles;
  • Using cold water for pre-machine hand washing;
  • Frequent cleaning of filters and rubber seals;

  • Operating the machines during lower cost cycles, avoiding, wherever possible, their use during the higher cost periods.

Best practices measures are applied to all equipment through the On/Off Control Measures Plan.

Reactive Energy

Electrical equipment (motors, compressors, etc…) require reactive energy, which does not produce work, to function.

Excessive reactive energy consumption, linked to low potency factor values, have some disadvantages:

  • Reduced service life;
  • Higher electricity bills from the electricity distributor;
  • Underuse of the installed capacity.

This type of energy was compensated for in the restaurants through the installation of capacitor banks.

AVAC and Exhaust Systems

Air renovation in Ibersol Group restaurants is done mechanically, through insufflation and extraction ventilators. Fresh air is introduced through the air-conditioning units.

Working air conditioning equipment represents a high cost which is directly related to the setpoint defined for the equipment's operation. By adjusting the working temperature to one more adequate (18ºC in Winter and 25ºC in Summer), which has no associated costs, savings of 7% in energy consumption were achieved.

Speed variators were installed in exhaust and smoke extraction vents, allowing for reductions of electricity consumption on average of 20 to 25%.

The Energy Performance Regulations for Commercial and Service Buildings (RECS) DL 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.

These buildings are characterised by presenting a very high energy performance and for having very low or almost non-existent energy needs, which are largely covered by renewable energy sources.

To fulfil regulation obligations and obtain class A energy certification for restaurants equipped with drive services, a study on sizing, installation, and operation of a Self-consumption Production Unit (UPAC) aimed at producing photovoltaic electrical energy is being conducted.

The installation of photovoltaic solar panels has several advantages, namely:

  • Clean electricity;
  • Reducing electricity bills, reducing electrical grid energy consumption;
  • Reducing CO2 emissions;
  • Contributing to strengthening Ibersol's sustainability standing.

Electric Mobility

Electric mobility is an important contribution to sustainable mobility and to increasing the energetic efficiency of transport.

Bearing in mind global emissions, that is, emissions from moving vehicles and those produced in the processing of the fuel they require, electric vehicles have a better environmental standing, even if they do run on energy produced exclusively from coal (the most polluting source).

Using electric vehicles contributes to making the air we breathe cleaner and to the reduction of greenhouse gasses while also reducing the country's energy dependency.

Considering the increasing number of people who are opting for electric cars, and to contribute to client satisfaction, the Ibersol Group is looking at the possibility of installing fast charging stations at the restaurants with drive-thru services, adding to the network of electric car charging stations in Portugal.

Covid-19 Measures

Following the directives approved by the Government, some restaurant units were closed during lockdown. During this period, the restaurants maintained the necessary electricity usage to keep the refrigeration, freezing and conservation appliances running, as well as all safety and signalling systems.

During the period in which restaurants were closed, the following measures were adopted:

Electricity – Reduction of contracted capacity

Minimum contracted capacity levels registered during the period of closure were taken as references.

Before billing, the energy provider identified the power contracted on that date and invoiced accordingly.

This measure allowed for savings in the contracted capacity estimated at 35 thousand Euros.

Gas – Changes to invoicing tiers

The provider applied the lowest gas tariff to the following tiers:

  • Annual consumption up to 10000m3 was invoiced according to the first tier.

  • Consumption above 10000m3 was invoiced according to the 4th tier.

8.4. Consumption analysis

Electricity

The cost of the energy component in the electricity bill for 2020 remained the same, since the contract was signed in April 2019, on the electricity market. However, the value of the total of both components, energy plus grids, was 2.35% higher, due to a 5.94% increase in the grids.

This year of the pandemic, with people locked down at home and strong restrictions on global industry that closed major economies, oil prices went down and, with plenty of gas on offer, the average price of electricity on the retail market hit 40 euros/MWh, the lowest since 2004.

Following a study of the electricity market, with the decrease of values on the OMIP market, the price of electricity was renegotiated for the period of July 2020 to June 2022.

The renegotiation of the price of electric energy led to a 9.93% reduction in relation to the price of the energy component negotiated in 2019.

With the reduction of the price of energy for the period between July and December, and with grid values remaining steady for this period, the total impact of the renegotiation for this period is a 5.87% drop in relation to the previous period of January to June.

Natural Gas

The global price of the natural Gas tariff after July 2019 decreased by 5.5% in relation to the period of July 2018 to June 2019, because of the effect of the decrease in the grid access tariff component.

After June 2020, the total invoice dropped by 5.8% because of the decrease in the energy component, achieved through tough renegotiation (market purchase in November 2019), for the period between June and September 2020.

Following October 2020, the total gas invoice increased by 4% due to the increase in the grid access component.

CO2 Emissions

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 10 thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide were avoided, in total and indirectly, in the same universe of stores as in 2019.

Water

The reduction of wastage in water consumption, besides being an environmental concern related to climate change, is also of economic importance, given the rise in water prices, that vary regionally, within the country.

)
192 819 192 075 191 568 189 879 189 234

The reference concerning water consumption for 2020 covers all consumption points.

Some measures were adopted to reduce water consumption, such as:

  • Installation of flow regulators. These are accessories that can be attached to taps and shower heads which replace the usual filter and allow for a flow reduction of over 50%, thereby reducing consumption;

  • Changes to timings and schedules for watering systems in gardens;

  • Implementation of routine tap, lavatory, plumbing, joints, and fittings checks to detect required repairs and eliminate leaks.

Production of hot water is a major energy consumer, making it important to select and use efficient associated equipment. Ibersol Group restaurants usually adopt systems composed of gas water heaters and electrical equipment (storage heaters) with the support, whenever possible, of thermal solar panels to heat water with renewable sources.

9. Social Performance

People 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 People 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 "School for Life" and invests continually in training its people. This investment has taken the form of the Ibersol Academy, a global, inclusive, and modern academy, capable of endowing its employees, in whatever latitudes, with the skills that are currently most valued on the market. At the same time, we continue to partner with one of the most renowned business schools – Porto Business School – co-creating initial and continued training programmes for employees that show high development potential and who play key roles in the organisation.

9.2. Training and Education

During 2020, the Ibersol Academy partnered with the Porto Business School to create and implement a new training programme to Develop Coordinators. This is one of the organisation's biggest challenges, which is why it intends that it should be executed with quality and results that are adjusted to the demands of the role.

A training course on Leadership for Intermediate Managers of Shared Services and Business Structure was also developed. The current context, in which we have fragmented teams, often working remotely from their managers, strengthens the need for working with these employees to enhance their people management, communication, and work-flow management skills.

In 2020 we also began a project to digitalise training content, using specialised and renowned tools, with the aim of making content more attractive and motivating for the trainees, as well as more accessible at any time and in different geographies.

9.3. Employee Well-being

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 personnel 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 2020, Ibersol concentrated essentially on controlling the new coronavirus, based on the adoption of measures and principles for the protection of its employees' health, full compliance with guidelines issued by the Health Board and, in this context, held several training, information and awareness sessions for workers.

Based on these principles, the Group ensured:

· Tracking all positive Covid-19 cases and supervision of low-risk suspicions, in close contact with health authorities and medical services;

· Over 850 principles and practices audit controls;

· Developing a best practices recognition programmed, through the following initiatives:

− "Não Caias Nessa!" (Don't Fall For It!) Teaser, sharing the ranking of safest units to encourage the prevention of workplace hazards;

− "Apanha a Tarefa Segura" (Snatch the Safety Task) competition to commemorate the National Day for Safety and Prevention at Work, during which – exceptionally and due to the pandemic situation – awards were given to all the units that had not had accidents during 2019.

− Awarding of "Platinum" and "Gold" titles to the units with excellent results in their first four months of the year control audits;

Since the circumstances made it impossible to carry out the usual evacuation exercises in the central offices, we launched the "Desafio em tempo de pandemia" (Pandemic challenge), in which workers were invited to take part in an alternative emergency safety response situation.

• Consultations of workers regarding Occupational Health and Safety issues, which were attended by about 65% of the workers;

• Training and awareness sessions on Coronavirus protection and prevention measures to be adopted by workers, according to the contingency plan.

During 2020 the OHSAS 18001/ NP 4397:2008 was finally replaced by the ISO 45001:2018 standard, which was extended to other Ibersol Group units under the Integrated Management System.

To better understand the employee's perception of the Organisation, the Ibersol Group carries out an annual survey on its Organisational Climate – "Tenha a Palavra" (Have a Say) – which measures the motivation and satisfaction of Operational professionals in Ibersol Portugal. Based on these results, each unit, through its Management, Coordination and HR Business Partners, draws up specific plans for improving its indicators.

Due to the pandemic situation during 2020, the Ibersol Group considered that the necessary conditions for carrying out this annual survey were not met.

Conditions permitting, we expect to return to this initiative in 2021, holding a new version of the "Have a Say" survey, which will also include gender equality and anti-discrimination issues. By carrying out the Equality and Non-Discrimination Plan we hope to open a communication channel on inclusion issues between Ibersol and its employees.

"Ibersol in Motion"

With a view to improving well-being and a sense of belonging amongst employees, the Ibersol Group continued its "Ibersol em Movimento" (Ibersol in Motion) 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.

In 2020, and due to Covid-19, the i-Office Break, an initiative we began in 2015 where different departments would prepare a lunch or tea, with the aim of getting to know the Group's different brands and products, while also giving the employees a chance to socialize and enjoy themselves, ran only until March.

Since it was not possible to host the usual Ibersol Group Christmas Dinner, different initiatives were carried out to promote the spirit of unity and sharing that are typical of this occasion.

Thus, the usual dinner guests were offered 559 baskets prepared by José Silva Carvalho Catering.

The board's speech was replaced by a message published on YouTube and aimed at all the employees in Portugal, Spain, and Angola. The message had a total of 2.433 hits, 133 interactions and 89 comments.

A total of 23 "Valores Ibersol" (Ibersol Values) awards were attributed to employees or teams of Ibersol Business and Shared Services that stood out during the period for their dedication, entrepreneurial spirit, and daily embodiment of the Ibersol Values.

All our employees were given the opportunity to participate in the Christmas Mosaic, made in real-time, using photographs of our employees.

In place of the Christmas Circus, all the children of our staff members aged 11 or less, were given access to the "Magia no gelo" (Magic on Ice) digital platform, which includes several educational activities and two of the most incredible ice shows, "Peter Pan on Ice" and "The Wizard of Oz".

We also held another edition of the "Christmas Drawings and Stories" competition for children. All the 26 participants received a gift.

We held the first Halloween costume competition, with 44 entries. The three best costumes in each age group were chosen.

9.4. Ties to the Community

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. As a trailblazer for the concept of modern restaurants, marked by an ethos of excellence in client services and a concern for the constant valuing of its employees, the Ibersol Group does not ignore its responsibilities as an active agent in the society in which it exists. Therefore, its policy is to be present in several sectors of society, through charity events, donations, training support and others.

PORTO de FUTURO

The Porto de Futuro (Porto Future) programme was launched by the Porto City Hall, with the aim of promoting relations between civil society and the school community, and the Ibersol Group has been a partner since the beginning. Within the scope of this partnership, several initiatives have been carried out by the companies involved, benefiting children and youth from the schools in the north that are part of the programme.

Junior Achievement

The Junior Achievement Portugal Association, which is part of the "Porto de Futuro" project, challenges regional schools to take part in training programmes focused on entrepreneurship, and includes the support of business partners that are responsible for providing school children up to grade 9 with this training.

"Innovation Challenge"

The Innovation Challenge invites students to solve real-life problems that companies often struggle with. For one day the secondary school students form teams to work on these challenges, with the help of volunteers from several companies, who act as consultants.

None of these activities were held during 2020, since their timing coincided with the beginning of the pandemic, in March.

"Open Kitchen" Visits

Given the context, in 2020 we witnessed a steep drop in the number of visits to Ibersol units.

The Burger King units in Estarreja and Albergaria were visited by a group of 30 children from the Aldeia de Crianças SOS in Gulpilhares. These villages were founded 70 years ago, and their mission is to safeguard children who have lost their families or are at risk thereof. These are children who need good experiences and this visit provided them not only with a different meal, but also an enriching experience.

The Burger King in Gaia partnered with Keller Williams to provide around 40 children from the Instituição Centro António Cândido with a different day. These children have moderate to serious handicaps and were given an opportunity to get to know the restaurant and enjoy a free lunch.

Food donations and other initiatives

In 2020 several of the Ibersol Group brands partnered with charities, mostly to offer meals.

Throughout the year, and despite a significant drop in business volume due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 7.5 tonnes of food products that were not consumed at Silva Carvalho Catering events were donated. The institutions that benefited from these donations were "Coração da Cidade" in Porto, and "Refood", in Lisbon.

The Burger King unit in Maia donated around 510 loaves of rye bread to Socialis, to be distributed to local needy families.

The Marshopping Pizza Hut offered donated a meal to the Norte Vida Association, which supports needy people.

During its annual Business Structure and Unit Managers meeting, Pizza Hut ran a fundraiser to raise donations to help support the John Paul II Handicapped Support Centre, in Fátima. A donation was made of 605 euros, which helped to improve the conditions for people with severe handicaps that cannot live with their families.

Within the scope of the activities for the celebration of Pizza Hut's 30th anniversary in Portugal, a partnership was established with the CASA association, which includes the donation of Pizza Hut products to the needy who are supported by said institution.

In the Azores, Burger King donated 18 boxes of bread to the Terceira Island Food Bank (Associação de Combate à Insuficiência Alimentar - ASTECIA), which were then distributed to needy families in the region.

The same unit provided lunch to 41 children and youths from the Casa do Gaiato – Obra do Padre Américo, in the Azores, on three different days, giving them the chance to enjoy a tasty meal of some of the brand's best products.

On the other hand, the Azores Pizza Hut units provided meals to about 20 members of the Ribeira Grande Volunteer Fire Brigade.

In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, several brands and units donated their products to frontline professionals, contributing some comfort and recognition to those who have given and continue to give so much to the community.

Burger King's units in Amarante, Braga Arcada, Braga Media Market, Castelo Branco, Covilhã, Bragança Drive, Espaço Guimarães, Famalicão, Fórum Viseu, Gaia Jardim, Ikea Matosinhos, Oeiras, Paços de Ferreira, Montes Burgos, Nó do Fojo, Portalegre, Quinta do Conde, Santa Maria da Feira, Telheiras, Vila Real and Viseu donated meals to professionals from the following institutions: Amarante Hospital, Braga Hospital, Amato Lusitano Hospital, Cova da Beira Hospital, Bragança Hospital, Guimarães Hospital, Famalicão Health Centre, Santa Maria da Feira Fire Department, Pedro Hispano Hospital, Santa Cruz Hospital, Paços de Ferreira Health Centre, São João Hospital, Gaia Hospital, Portalegre Hospital, SCM Alhos Vedros, Santa Maria da Feira Hospital, Santa Maria Hospital, Trás os Montes Hospital Centre and Viseu Hospital, respectively.

Pizza Hut supported over 40 public safety institutions all over the country, both on the mainland and on the islands, from Republican Guard, Police and Municipal Police to several hospitals, providing meals to professionals on the frontline of the fight against Covid-19.

Pans also took part in this initiative. The Pans Vasco da Gama, Pans Castelo Branco, Pans Norteshopping, Pans Vila Real, Pans Bragança, Pans Covilhã, Pans Portimão, Pans Almada, Pans AlgarveShopping, Pans Montijo, Pans Guimarães and Pans Funchal units provided meals to the Volunteer Firemen in Sacavém, Castelo Branco, Leixões, Cruz Branca, Bragança, Covilhã, Portimão, Almada, Faro, Montijo, Guimarães, as well as to the Red Cross Firemen in Funchal.

KFC donated meals to the Volunteer Firemen of Ermesinde and Amadora.

In Madeira, KFC provided meals to Health Professionals at the Funchal and Marmeleiros hospitals. In a joint venture with Burger King, meals were also donated to the Police officers at the Madeira Airport.

In Spain, the warehouse located near the Barcelona Airport took part in a corporate social responsibility event for the prevention of food waste, having donated food valued at over 2,000.00 euros to the Fundació Privada Bancs del Aliments.

Within the scope of the promotion of sports and healthy lifestyle, Pizza Hut provided athletes from the Juventude Desportiva de Gaia with discounts for meals.

As during previous years, the Ibersol Group continues to maintain a close relationship with the Pauleta Foundation. In 2020 it donated meals to around 350 athletes and staff members of the Foundation, for its Christmas Party. These were provided by the Azores Pizza Hut and KFC units.

On the other hand, the Pizza Hut unit in Vila Real, located in the NossoShopping, sponsored the SC Cumieira sports club at its events and tournaments.

The Group continues to be present on celebrations of special days. Pizza Hut in Foz, Colombo and Leiria Centro, in partnership with influencers and members of civil society, celebrated International Women's Day on 8 March 2020.

This photograph was taken before the use of masks had been recommended by the health authorities

Road safety is a very important issue for the Ibersol Group, considering a large portion of its staff are home delivery distributors. For this reason, on the 24 and 31 of December, respectively Christmas and New Year's Eve, Pizza Hut provided meals to several Police Stations and Fire Stations all over the country. Besides fostering good relations with these entities, this social responsibility gesture is aimed at holding the delivery team accountable for safety standards and garnering the support of police and firefighters at a time of greater unforeseen events and population support. It is also a way of giving thanks for their important work, carried out during the year, and comforting those who cannot be with their families on these important days because they must guarantee the safety of the rest of us.

The Group remains present at KidZania, a theme park in the Dolce Vita Tejo shopping centre, aimed at families with children and youngsters under the age of 15. However, following the Covid-19 pandemic, this park closed in March 2020. Nonetheless, in the first months of 2020 several children visited the Pizza Hut Unit and had the opportunity to "play grown-up" in a very realistic environment.

Rimkieta Friends Foundation

Lurca, one of the Ibersol Group companies that represents the Burger King brand in Spain, is a "friend company" of the Rimkieta Friends Foundation.

The purpose of this support is to help the Foundation in its mission to provide the best possible living conditions in the Rimkieta neighbourhood, and surrounding areas, in Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso. The aid is mostly distributed among women and children and used for education, food, and health, as well as the professional and social advancement of women. In 2020, 25,000 Euros were delivered.

The Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger

From 2 to 8 November the Ibersol Group partnered with the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger for another edition of the "Graças a Muitos Espalhamos Sorrisos por quem mais precisa" (Thanks to Many we Spread Smiles among those in need) donation drive.

Burger King, KFC, Pans & Company, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell clients, among other Group brands, took part in actively helping those in need. This gesture of solidarity, which involved all the group's staff, raised 29.697 Euros from Ibersol's clients, and a final donation of 33,000€, was delivered to the Portuguese Federation of Food Banks Against Hunger, converted into foodstuffs to be distributed among the 21 Food Banks that exist across the mainland and islands.

This was the 12th year in which the Ibersol Group organised this type of nationwide initiative in Portugal, and in all over 795,000 Euros have been raised in these Social Responsibility campaigns.

Caritas Angola

In 2020 the Ibersol Group once again became involved in the ADD HOPE project. This Social Responsibility project in Angola helped the Group raise 6,000,000 AKZ (six million Kwanzas) for Caritas Angolas.

The ADD HOPE project is part of Ibersol Angola's Social Responsibility strategy which, over the years, has carried out relevant community support initiatives. Trusting that it is possible to build a better world, Pizza Hut and KFC invited their clients to donate to Caritas.

Caritas is involved in strengthening institutional health skills (especially HIV-AIDS and maternal and child health); literacy and professional training; agriculture (especially in rural areas).

Ibersol Angola has been working with Caritas Angola since 2012 and in that space of time several projects have been carried out which are aimed at improving living standards for the most vulnerable families, in the poorest communities in the country.

10. Product Liability

We establish a connection with each of our clients through our restaurants

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 "Costumer" 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 faster and more clearly which trends to follow, 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.

2020 presented the Group with a major challenge in terms of customer 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 customer, with the necessary adaptations, to ensure maximum safety conditions.

10.1. Passion for the Costumer

Costumers are the most important asset in the modern restaurant business, and the Ibersol Group takes that premise very seriously. 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 client experiences, the Group constantly measures and monitors the quality of service at its restaurants and services. From this perspective, tools are regularly applied that provide us with important indicators regarding client satisfaction, namely quality audits, satisfaction surveys and complaints management.

- Programa Cliente Mistério (Mystery Client Programme)

In Portugal, 99 quality audits were performed through this programme over 2020.

Guest Experience Survey (GES)

Over 146,000 costumers' opinions were processed in 2020 through answers to this online satisfaction survey.

- Complaints

At the same time, all complaints received were carefully analysed, providing critical management indicators that support corrective acts and continued improvement.

10.2. Food Quality and Safety

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 is 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's uses an integrated food quality and safety management system all along the value chain.

Food Quality and Safety Certifications

During 2020 the Ibersol Group continued its process of continuous improvement, according to the principles and certification norms that it adheres to, to guarantee food quality and safety, and client satisfaction.

In this context the following deserve special mention:

a) FSCC 22000 Certification (Version 5) of the Group's central production unit – IBERGOURMET - PRODUTOS ALIMENTARES, S.A. (UCP Modivas), a very demanding GFSI norm in food safety requirements:

It should also be noted, within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020:

a) Covid Safety Programme

The implementation of the "SAFETY COVID" Programme, in articulation with the Workplace Health and Safety services and the Brands, in partnership with ALS (a company that operates at an international level and is market leader in supplying lab test solutions, inspections and checks), with the aim of minimising health risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and guaranteeing consumers' trust and business continuity.

This programme includes:

  • Surprise audits carried out by independent and qualified inspectors in 100% of the units of the Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, Pans&Company and Taco Bell brands and catering events operated by Group companies and airport units to check up on the compliance with requirements issued by the health board (DGS) and the Authority for Labour Conditions (ACT), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) as well as legislation applicable within the context of Covid-19 control, which requirements are reflected in Covid-19 specific procedures and food safety/quality and workplace health and safety requirements;

  • Two pools (lab and surface tests) of SARS-CoV-2 virus research swabs (SARS-CoV-2 and RT PCR research - Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction), collected in two areas of the restaurants: internal and client areas;

  • Granting of the SAFETY Covid seal - "Certification seal" – confirming conformity of lab tests (absence of SARS-CoV-2 virus) and compliance with audit requirements.

Within the scope of this programme, 302 audits for the attribution of the safety Covid seal were carried out (along with accompanying audits) and 2,500 surfaces were evaluated.

The results of this programme, with all 302 units certified with the SAFETY COVID seal, are a sign of the efficiency of implemented processes and, it follows, of the safety of the product facilities and services provided.

b) Suppliers and Products, and Restaurant Processes Control Programme

In a context of restrictions and unpredictability due to the states of emergency and other pandemic control measures, and given the critical need to maintain the supply chain functioning, minimising risks to supply and stock, food safety and quality and food waste, an effort was made – besides the already existing measures – to ensure that the respective stakeholders 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 (with the brands).

In this setting it should be stressed that 106 product suppliers and 6 logistics operators involved themselves 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:

.. Widening the scope of the ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015 and 45001:2018 norms, applied to two important sectors of the Group's business, namely the Estádio do Dragão catering operations and the Travel – Airports operations, covering all the Group's units operating in Lisbon Airport.

.. FSCC Version 5 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:

• Portugal - ISOs: 9001:2015, 22000:2018, 14001:2015 e 45001:2018 and FSCC 22000 (Version 5) in its central production unit;

  • Spain ISOs: 9001:2015 e 22000: 2005;
  • Angola ISO 22000: 2018

"Te lo Sirvo Verde" certification

In Spain, the Pans & Company, Ribs, Frescco and Dehesa Santa Maria brands, as well as those that operate in the Travel segment, worked according to the principles laid out in the "Te lo Sirvo Verde" principles, which specialise in sustainability consultancy for the restaurant sector.

Despite the pandemic context, which forced us to focus on safety related issues, important steps were taken in this field, namely regarding the definition of goals for 2021, as well as training on the legal framework to follow and best sustainability practices for this sector.

Both the Spanish and Portuguese structures took part in this training session, which was aimed at Business, Marketing/NPD Department, Quality and Purchases managers.

The following main goals were defined for 2021:

Redefinition of the Ibersol Group's sustainability policy regarding use and treatment of plastic articles, to abide by pending legislation;

Definition of concrete measures for reducing polluting disposable materials and replacing them with environmentally sound alternatives;

Revisiting and updating waste treatment processes and equipment at Ibersol Group restaurants.

Information on Allergens

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.

"Viva Bem" Programme: Quality, Food Safety and much more

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.

12. Outlook

Recent IMF forecasts point to a 3.9% growth of GDP in Portugal and 5.6% in Spain, which indicates a slow and partial recovery, namely in business areas that depend on traffic and movement, such as airports and shopping centres.

As of the publication of this report, restrictions imposed following the new "lockdown" which affected Portugal and some regions of Spain in the first quarter of 2021, following the third wave of the Covid pandemic, which swept all of Europe, were being lifted.

Economic recovery will be directly related to the pace and efficiency of the vaccination process, both in the countries in which we operate and globally.

Despite the enormous challenges that resulted from a long period of operation below the normal capacity, Ibersol Group continues to monitor developments constantly, adjusting operations based on the behaviour of demand, to minimise the impacts of this crisis and safeguard the interests of all stakeholders.

The group remains committed to its enacted prevention/contingency plans and will resort, whenever possible, to labour protection mechanisms available, that allow for the minimisation of negative impacts for the group and its employees.

In 2021, the Group is expecting to open 20 new restaurants, in accordance with the expansion plans of the brands and formats that have shown greater resilience over the previous period.

13. Individual Net Result and Proposal for the Application of Results

During 2020, Ibersol SGPS, S.A. presented a consolidated net profit of -55.307.209,00 Euros and a net profit of individual accounts of 2.429.657,37 Euros.

Considering the foreseeable evolution of operations and the resulting deterioration of business, the Board has prudently chosen not to distribute dividends, and to approve the following distribution of results:

Legal reserve 121.482,87 Euros

Free reserves 2.308.174,50 Euros

14. Subsequent Events

At the beginning of the current year, faced with the impossibility of reaching a reasonable deal with AENA, we were forced to file injunctions to stop AENA from executing bank guarantees that were presented to guarantee the fulfilment of obligations regarding leasing contracts.

In early March, these injunctions were decreed. At the same time, we filed a suit in which we asked the court to rebalance the leases, in line with reductions in airport traffic.

In mid-January, a new lockdown was declared, the second in 10 months, which resulted in a new period of restaurant closure that extended to 19 April. It is expected that the state of emergency will be lifted on 3 May.

The severity of the third wave of Covid-19 during this first quarter of 2021 led to a tightening of health measures and the closure of restaurant activity between mid-January and the 19 April, when they reopened conditionally.

To suspend or reduce working hours, the Group signed up to the simplified lay-off scheme in Portugal and maintained the ERTE in Spain.

The "apoiar" and the "apoiar restauração" programmes were extended to non-small and medium sized companies but limited to companies with a business volume under 50 million Euros in 2019, so we were only able to make applications for approximately 1 million Euros.

At the funding level, we took advantage of the extension of the grace periods and State guaranteed funding deadlines.

  • i. Covid-19 economic support funding in Portugal, with 9 further months of grace period and maturity dates, which translates into 4.1 million Euros less expense in the shortterm
  • ii. ICO line of 20 million Euros in Spain; 1-year increase in grace period and extension of maturity by 3 more years (2025 to 2028), translating into 2.5 million Euros less expense in the short-term
  • iii. Other ICO Funding in Spain, with a 1-year increase in grace period and maturity, translating into 0.5 million euros less expense in the short-term
  • iv. Current account ICO lines totalling 15 million euros extended by 1 year

Faced with the impact of this lockdown period on activity and the delay in European vaccination plans, the Group began negotiations for increasing available credit lines.

15. Acknowledgments

The Board of Directors would firstly like to thank all employees of the Group and franchisees of our brands in a year marked by temporary and permanent closings of our restaurants, which resulted in a brutal reduction in activity

We acknowledged the dedication, commitment and enthusiasm that was revealed to face the challenges that we faced in this financial year.

We gratefully acknowledge the trust and preference of our customers, the cooperation of our franchisees, the Banks, as well as our Suppliers and other partners.

We likewise thank all the Shareholders for the trust they continue to place in Ibersol.

The assiduous cooperation and capacity for dialogue manifested by the Audit Committee, Auditors and Statutory Auditor when monitoring and examining the company's management must also be acknowledged.

Porto, 27 April 2021

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 the law and the 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.

16. Statutory rules for procedural and material requirements applicable to appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors

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. Several substitutes equal to one-third of the number of effective directors may also be elected.

Up to one-third of the directors shall be elected from among persons proposed in lists subscribed by shareholder groups holding shares representing no more than 20% and no less than 10% of the share capital. Each list must propose at least two candidates for each post to be filled and a shareholder may not subscribe more than one list. If, in an 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 available, a replacement shall be elected by the General Meeting.

17. Composition of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is currently composed of three 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. The Board of Directors may specifically appoint one or more directors to handle certain matters. On 31 December 2020, the Board of Directors was composed by the following members:

Chairman – Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa; Vice-Chairman – Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira; Member – Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero de Bonifaz;

All the members were elected by General Meeting on 26 May 2017 for a mandate with term at 31 December 2020, but these members will be in exercise until a new election of the members of the Board of Directors by the next General Meeting.

It should be noted that the last electoral act of this corporate body occurred at the general meeting of May 26, 2017, without the validity of the current Code of Corporate Governance of 2018, issued by the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance (IPCG).

It should also be noted that the requirement of a gender-balanced composition of the governing bodies, in accordance with the quota system, has only been verified to be directly applicable to general election assemblies that have taken place after 1 January 2018. This Company shall observe these gender quotas at the time of a new electoral act or at the time of the renewal or replacement of the current members' mandate, according to Law 62/2017 of 1 August.

The members of the Board of directors were first elected to their posts as follows: Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa, 1991; Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira, 1997; and Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero de Bonifaz, 1999.

According to Article 27 of the by-laws, directors are elected for a four-year period.

The Board of Directors may also delegate the day-to-day management of the Company to one or more directors or an executive committee, within the terms and limits established by law. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for the current exercise of the Executive Committee and the conditions it shall exercise the powers assigned to.

18. Difference between executive and non-executive members and, as regards non-executive members, details of members that may be considered independent

The governing body of the Company is made up of three directors and includes one non-executive member, Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero de Bonifaz, who is not associated with any specific interest groups, whether of the Company or its principal shareholders, and has no material interests that might clash or interfere with the free performance of his duties as a director. No internal control committee has been established. The mentioned non-executive member 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. Face to this Recommendation, in its point number 13, it is determined, about the independence requirement, 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.

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.

53. Main Risks to which the Company and its Affiliates are exposed

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.

Strategic and operational risks

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. 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic, was a year especially representative of this reality.

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, 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 to minimize the risk of non-renewal.

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 where necessary.

Due to the specificities of the Business, there are areas of risk whose current management has been allocated to functional departments, namely:

Food quality and food safety

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;

  • control of the Production Process in the units /restaurants through HACCP Systems;
  • System for Developing Food Safety Competencies;
  • 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 2020, following the Covid-19 pandemic, specific risks in this regard were identified and managed.

Hygiene and safety at work (HSW)

The management of this risk area is overseen by the Human Resources Unit, which defines, and coordinates training plans and the application of the rules and procedures defined in Ibersol's HSW Manual, and articulates the training plans.

A number of initiatives and actions are developed annually in the field of Health and Safety at Work, aiming to reinforce the commitment and involvement of all employees with the prevention and reduction of occupational risks.

Financial

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:

a) Exchange rate risk

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 imbalances of the Angolan economy cause a shortage of foreign currency in Angola, reason why the devaluation of Kwanza is a risk to consider. 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 current limitations on payments abroad, 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. Actually, and in the last two years, operators in general have access to foreign exchange with relative ease.

b) Interest rate risk

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. Regarding 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.

c) Credit risk

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;

d) Liquidity risk

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.

e) Capital risk

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 interestbearing debt / net interest-bearing debt + equity) with the aim of placing it between 50% -75%.

Environmental

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.

Legal

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 fulfilment 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.

Sectoral

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, 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.

54. Description of the identification, assessment, monitoring, control, and risk management process

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 affecting the objectives of each business are identified and assessed, and actions are planned to manage those risks. These actions are included and monitored through the plans of the individual businesses 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 that the established procedures are followed, the Group's main internal control systems are evaluated periodically.

55. Main elements of the internal control systems and risk management implemented by the company regarding the financial disclosure process

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 director of the company, reporting functionally to the same director, regardless of the hierarchical relationship that these departments maintain with the executive management of the company.

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, namely with the non-executive director.

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 audit report and opinion.

  • 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. At quarterly intervals 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 its lending and borrowing, which is done at market prices.

ANNEX 1

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE STATEMENT

OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

ABOUT THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR THE CORPORATE GOVERNING BODIES OF IBERSOL, SGPS S.A. TO BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE NEXT GENERAL MEETING OF 2021

  1. Under the terms of the authority assigned to this Committee by the General Meeting of shareholders of Ibersol SGPS, SA. and under the terms of article 26.2 of the By-laws of the Company, the function of this Remuneration Committee is to set the remuneration of the members of the corporate governing bodies.

  2. Under the applicable terms of the By-laws, the Remuneration Committee was appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 26th May 2017 and is made up of three members, who are independent of the members of the Company's governing and audit bodies.

  3. The Remuneration Committee thus submits this report for the consideration of this General Meeting and for the purpose of adoption of Recommendation of the Corporate Governance Code of the Instituto Português de Corporate Governance. The report contains the guidelines followed by this Committee in setting the remuneration of the members of the governing and audit bodies and the Board of the General Meeting, as follows:

a) The remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Meeting for 2019 was set at a fixed annual amount, payable twelve times a year, having its members earned the following annual remuneration:

  • Chairwoman – Dr.ª Luzia Leonor Borges e Gomes Ferreira: 1,333.34 Euros ;

  • Vice-Chairwoman – Dr.ª Raquel de Sousa Rocha: 667.92 Euros ;

  • Secretary – Dr.ª Maria Leonor Moreira Pires Cabral Campello: 333.36 Euros;

b) The shareholder ATPS-SGPS, SA. provided administrative and management services to the Group and in 2020 received from the investee Ibersol, Restauração, SA. a total of 1,000,000 euros for such services. One of the obligations of ATPS-Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, SA. under the contract of services with Ibersol, Restauração, SA. is to ensure that the directors of the Company António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa and António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira perform their duties without additional expenses that the Company has to incur. The Company does not directly pay any remuneration to any of its executive directors. Given that ATPS-Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, SA. is controlled by the directors António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa and António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira, out of the abovementioned total of 1,000,000 Euros paid in 2020, it is supposed that each director has received the amount of 500,000 Euros. The non-executive member receives annual remuneration of 6,000 Euros, and has not received any other remunerations of any kind, namely performance bonuses, bonuses or any additional performance fees and / or any additional payments at the annual amount of 6,000 Euros provided to by the company.

The mentioned executive directors do not receive any other remuneration in other companies of the group nor have pension rights acquired in 2020.

In view of the above, it is not possible to issue a statement on the remuneration policy of the members of the governing body of the company, particularly a report containing the information mentioned in actual article 2.3 of Law 28/2009.

c) The remuneration of the members of the Statutory Audit Committee for 2020 was set at a fixed annual amount, payable twelve times a year. The individual members received the following annual remuneration: Chairman - Dr. Carlos Alberto Alves Lourenço: 9,900.00 Euros; Vice-Chairman - Dr.ª Maria José Martins Lourenço da Foseca: 8,800.00 Euros; Member – Dr. Eduardo Moutinho Santos: 8,800.00 Euros;

The general principles observed are essentially those that emerge from the law, considering the activities actually performed by the above persons, also the Company's economic situation and the usual terms and conditions in comparable situations. The functions performed by each member of the corporate governing bodies were considered in the broadest sense of the activity performed, using the level of responsibility as an assessment parameter. The weighting of the functions is considered in a broad sense, in the light of various factors, particularly the level of responsibility, the time spent, and the value the member's institutional role added to the Group. The size of the company and the degree of complexity of the assigned functions is also an important aspect. The combination of the abovementioned factors and assessment thereof serves to guarantee not only the interests of the post holders but also the primordial interests of the Company.

The remuneration policy we submit to the approval of the Shareholders of the Company is therefore based on the abovementioned parameters, consisting of the remuneration of the members of the corporate bodies in a gross fixed amount, paid annually until the end of the year. In setting all remuneration, the general principles stated above were observed: functions performed, situation of the Company and comparative criteria for equivalent degrees of performance.

COVID-19

2020 is marked by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that spread worldwide, stopping global economic activity, with profound impacts on consumer behaviours and habits.

On 11 March the World Health Organization declared a pandemic associated with the spread of Covid-19, and a state of emergency was declared in all geographical locations in which the Group operates, which determined measures to contain the population and the closure of the majority of commerce and restaurants in order to halt the transmission of the virus.

As a result, we closed the restaurants that were unable to continue to operate through take-away, drive thru and delivery services, even if they were below their normal potential.

Gradually, at the beginning of the second semester, there was an upturn in activity, adjusted to the norms that aimed to guarantee safety and reduce the risk of infection, through the application of constraints to certain businesses, in order to guarantee social distance.

During this period, the Group's activity was conditioned by the following measures:

  • 50% reduction in the capacity of restaurants;
  • limitation of the opening hours of shopping malls in the region of Lisboa and Vale do Tejo;
  • interruption of air corridors in England and Germany;
  • absence of an audience at football stadiums and no events.

After the summer, there was an increase in the number of infections, which led to a second wave and the consequent worsening of the imposed conditions, with the governments decreeing additional restrictive measures, some of which are still in force:

  • curfew;
  • punctual closing of business;
  • limitation of opening hours;
  • restrictions on the mobility of people;

  • border closure.

Ibersol Group, following the indications of the World Health Organization and General Health Directorates, activated the contingency plans that allowed the priority to guarantee the safety of all customers and employees and ensure the protection of the entire supply chain.

In order to reconcile the abrupt reduction in activity and protect jobs, the Group's companies joined ERTE (Expediente de Regulación Temporal de Empleo) in Spain and the simplified and normal Lay-off in Portugal, in the months of March and April, respectively.

The Group chose, in accordance with IAS 20 - Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Support, to deduct these grants from the related expenses (Note 20).

In Portugal, the group joined the Extraordinary Incentive to the Standardization of Business Activity, while in Spain as at 31 December it remained with aproximately 1,370 employees in ERTE.

At the same time, cost reduction initiatives were taken through the renegotiation of contracts, including the financial rebalancing of lease contracts, which resulted in discounts in the amount of 10.4 million Euros.

However during the year the negotiation of airport concession contracts in Spain was not concluded, due to a lack of agreement with the concessionaire AENA. After a long negotiation process in which AENA proposed an adjustment of rents according to the number of passengers, Pansfood found itself faced with a proposal to reduce the income that would result in a reduction of the guaranteed minimum income of aproximately 60% in 2020 and 50% until September 2021, with the obligation to waive the request for further income reductions.

Since most entities expect that the recovery of air traffic to the levels of 2019 will only occur in 2026, the need to request an adjustment of income until this year, at least, has been determined, which implies the impossibility of denying the renegotiation of the rent.

As a result, the Group initiated a legal proceeding against AENA so that the aforementioned economic and financial balance of these contracts was restored. In March 2021, the Group obtained a favourable decision by the Court of El Prat de Llobregat regarding the constraint of AENA to execute bank guarantees (Note 31) and collateral provided by PansFood under these contracts. With regard to the rent negotiation process, the Board of Directors strongly expects, supported also by its legal advisors, that the outcome of the lease will be favourable to it, which will result in a guaranteed minimum rent payable to AENA lower than initially projected in the original contracts of around 95 million Euros, of which 24 million Euros referring to 2020 and another 24 million Euros to 2021, the remaining 47 million Euros referring to periods after 1 January 2022. AENA's latest proposal mentioned above would result in a reduction of the minimum guaranteed rents payable for 2020 and 2021 by around 36 million Euros.

It should be noted that the amount included in the lease liability recognized in Ibersol's consolidated accounts at 31 December 2020, and in accordance with IFRS 16, does not include any changes to the original amount provided for in the contracts.

In preparing these financial statements, the Board of Directors took into account this situation and the Management's best estimates as to its outcome, assessing its possible impact and the uncertainties that may be associated with it, disclosing, whenever relevant, alternative scenarios and sensitivity analyses, namely regarding to the impairment tests of the assets associated with the Travel and Spain operation.

At the date of publication of this report, we are ending another lockdown after a third wave of the pandemic, whose future evolution will be directly related to the rhythms and effectiveness of the vaccination processes, both locally and globally, which will condition mobility and consumption habits.

Ibersol Group continues to monitor, together with financial institutions, compliance with the financing covenants for 2021, having guaranteed the respective waivers before the end of 2020 to comply with them.

Ibersol Group has been updating financial plans and cash flow projections in line with pandemic developments and prospects for recovery, to allow due monitoring of the group's financial capacity to settle its liabilities.

At the end of the period, net interest-bearing debt (including debt in finance lease contracts) amounted to 121.2 million Euros, approximately 43.1 million Euros higher than the outstanding amount at the end of 2019 (78 million Euros) , to finance the needs generated by the pandemic crisis and coverage of expansion investment.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had surplus availability and other applications that amounted to 50 million Euros and had contracted and unused lines that amounted to 46 million Euros.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

2.1 Presentation and consolidation basis, and main accounting policies

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 2020. 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.

Change in headings presented in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

As at 31 December 2020, Ibersol Group individualized the effect of the payment of interest and financial debt associated with the lease contracts, having started to present the interest component in the "Interest and similar costs" line. The Ibersol Group also decided to autonomize the effect of exchange rate differences.

For purposes of comparability, these changes were also made in the previous period.

2.2. New rules, changes and interpretations

2.2.1. Accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, which came into force and which the Group applied in the preparation of these financial statements, are as follows:

a) Changes to references to the conceptual structure in IFRS standards

In March 2018, IASB issued a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, the revised Conceptual Framework for financial reporting (Conceptual Framework), which aims to update, in existing standards, the references and citations of the existing version of the Conceptual Framework or the which was replaced in 2010, replacing them with references to the revised Conceptual Framework.

The revised Conceptual Framework has an effective adoption date for periods beginning 1 January 2020 for companies that use the Conceptual Framework to develop accounting policies when no IFRS standard applies to a specific transaction.

The adoption of this standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.

b) Definition of Materiality (changes to IAS 1 and IAS 8)

On 31 October 2018, IASB issued amendments to its definition of materiality to facilitate companies in making materiality judgments.

The amendments consist of (a) replacing the term "can influence" with "can reasonably be expected to influence"; (b) include the concept of "concealment" together with the concepts of "omission" and "distortion" of information in the definition of materiality; (c) clarify that the "users" referred to are the main users of the general financial statements referred to in the Conceptual Framework, and (d) align the definition of materiality among the IFRS publications.

The amended definition of materiality therefore states that "Information is material if it can be reasonably considered that its omission, distortion or concealment may influence the decisions that primary users of general financial statements will make based on those same financial statements, that provide financial information for a particular reporting entity.".

The adoption of this standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.

c) Amendment to Interest Rate benchmarks (changes to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)

On 26 September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7. The amendments modify certain specific hedge accounting requirements to mitigate the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the IBOR reform. In addition, the changes require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships, which are directly affected by these uncertainties.

The amendments provide exceptions for entities to apply hedge accounting requirements, assuming that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged risk or the hedged cash flows of the hedged item or the cash flows of the hedge instrument is based, is not changed as a result of the IBOR reform. The proposed exceptions apply only to hedge accounting requirements and the amendments do not provide relief from other consequences arising from the reform of the interest rate benchmark.

The changes are limited in scope. If a hedge fails to meet hedge accounting requirements for reasons other than those specified in the amendments, discontinuation of hedge accounting remains necessary.

In addition, the amendments clarify that if an entity designates cash flows based on an interest rate benchmark as the item covered in a cash flow hedge, the entity will not assume, in order to measure the ineffectiveness of the hedge, that the expected replacement of the interest rate benchmark with an alternative reference rate will result in zero cash flow after replacement. Coverage gain or loss should be measured using cash flows based on an interest rate benchmark when applying a present value technique, discounted at a market discount rate that reflects the expectations of market participants about the resulting uncertainty reform.

Changes are mandatory for all hedging relationships to which exceptions apply.

The changes have an effective date for the adoption of annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The changes are applied retrospectively to the hedging relationships existing at the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the changes and to the gain or loss recognized in comprehensive income at the beginning of the period in which the entity first applies the changes (that is, even if the reporting period is not an annual period).

d) Definition of business (changes to IFRS 3 Business Concentration)

On 22 October 2018, the IASB issued changes to its definition of business.

The changes clarify that, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, contribute significantly to the ability to create outputs. The amendments also clarify that a set of activities and assets can qualify as a business without including all the inputs and processes necessary to create outputs, or including the outputs themselves, replacing the term "ability to create outputs" with "ability to contribute to creating outputs ".

It is no longer necessary to assess whether market participants are able to substitute missing inputs or processes (for example, integrating acquired activities and assets) and continue to produce outputs. The changes focus on whether the inputs acquired and the substantive processes acquired together contribute significantly to the ability to create outputs.

The amendments must be applied to transactions whose date of acquisition is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with early application permitted. If entities apply the changes in advance, they must disclose that fact.

This change to the standard did not impact the Group's financial statements.

2.2.2. The Group decided to opt for the early application of the following standards and / or interpretations, adopted by the European Union:

a) Covid 19 - Rent concessions Amendment to IFRS 16

In May 2020, IASB issued "Covid-19 – Rent concessions", which amended IFRS 16 Leases.

If certain conditions are met, the change allows tenants not to assess whether certain Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees applying the practical expedient should account for these rental concessions as if they were not modifications of the lease, so that, for example, the rental amount cancelled on or before 30 June 2021 is recognized in profit or loss. in the same year in which the concession is granted, instead of being awarded over the duration of the contract, as would be the case if the practical expedient was not allowed.

The change must be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Early application is permitted.

The Group chose early application, since from the perspective of management it results in an improvement in the reading of the financial statements, and the application of this practical expedient had an impact on the Group's results (Note 22).

The Group applied this practical expedient to all concessions at the level of rents that fulfil the conditions set out in the amendment.

2.2.3. The Group decided to chose early application of the following standards and / or interpretations, adopted by the European Union:

a) Reform of the Interest Rate Reference Index - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)

In August 2020, IASB issued the Interest Rate Reference Reform - Phase 2, which changes 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 these changes is to help entities provide useful information to users of financial statements and to assist preparers in applying IFRS standards when changes are made to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships as a result of the transition from an interest rate. IBOR reference rate for alternative reference 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, which deals with the accounting impacts of the IBOR reform, which led to the Interest Rate Reference 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 dealt with the accounting impacts of pre-replacement of the IBOR reform and which were issued by the IASB in 2019.

The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, with early application permitted.

The Group is currently evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.

b) Extension of the temporary exemption from application of IFRS 9 (amendments to IFRS 4)

IASB issued "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Application of IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4) on 25 June 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 (ie, 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 the Group's activity sector.

2.2.4. Standards, changes and interpretations issued (but not yet effective for the company), for which no significant impacts are estimated:

a) References to the Conceptual Framework (changes to IFRS 3)

In May 2020, IASB issued "References to the Conceptual Framework", changing IFRS 3 Business Concentration.

The amendments updated IFRS 3, replacing the reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework with a reference to the most recent version, which was issued in March 2018.

The changes must be applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Early application is permitted if, at the same time or rather, an entity also applies all changes made to "Changes to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards", issued in March 2018.

b) Property, plant and equipment - Revenue before intended use, changes to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment

In May 2020, IASB issued "Property, plant and equipment - Revenue before Intended Use", which amended IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment.

The amendments prohibit the deduction at cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, of any revenue from the sale of items produced by bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner intended by management. Instead, the entity shall recognize these sales revenues in profit or loss.

The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

c) Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract

In May 2020, IASB issued "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Completing 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 to valuation if, in a contract, the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations arising from the contract exceed the economic benefits expected from it.

The amendments must be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

d) Improvements in the 2018-2020 cycle

On 14 May 2020, IASB issued improvements to IFRS 2018–2020 containing the following changes:

(i) allow an entity, as a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, that adopts IFRS for the first time after its parent company and chooses 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 company, 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 creditor, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the creditor 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 that accompanies 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 be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

e) Clarification of the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current (changes to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements)

On 23 January 2020, the IASB issued 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 an IAS 1 criterion 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 amendments aim to:

a. 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 as to whether the entity will exercise its right to postpone liquidation;

c. clarify how loan conditions affect classification; and

d. clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities that an entity will settle, or may settle, through the issuance of its own equity instruments.

This change is effective for periods after 1 January 2023.

f) IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts

To be developed only for insurance companies or insurance subsidiaries. Otherwise refer that it is not applicable.

On 18 May 2017, IASB issued a standard that came to replace IFRS 4 and completely reform the treatment of 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 in terms of financial position. The standard provides for its application for years beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

The Group did not proceed with the early application of any of these standards in the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, as their application is not mandatory. No significant impacts are expected on the financial statements resulting from their adoption.

The following standards / amendments have recently been published: "Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: COVID 19 Rent concession beyond 30 June 2021", "" Disclosure of accounting policies (amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2), "Changes to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates"

Their impact is still being assessed by the Group.

2.3 Consolidation

(a) Controlled companies

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.

(b) Entities where the group exercises control jointly with other partners

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.

(c) Entities where the group has significant influence

The existence of significant influence by the Group is usually demonstrated in one or more of the following ways: - Representation on the Executive Board of Directors or equivalent governing body;

  • Participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions on dividends or other distributions;
  • Existence of material transactions between the Group and the investee;
  • Exchange of management staff; and
  • Provision of essential technical information.

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.

2.4 Goodwill

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).

2.5 Report by segments

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:

  • Restaurants, which integrates the units offering catering for table service and home delivery;

  • 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.

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.

2.6 Currency exchange rate

a) Working and reporting currency

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.

b) Transactions and balances

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)".

c) Financial statements

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 2020 and 2019 the exchange rate used for conversion of transactions and balances denominated in Kwanzas in were, respectively:

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

Dec/19

Euro exchange rates (x Rate on December, Average interest rate
foreign currency per 1 Euro) 31 2019 year 2019
Kwanza de Angola (AOA) 536,193 408,497

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

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.

2.8 Intangible Assets

a) Industrial property

a.1) Concessions and exploitation rights

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.

a.2) Software

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).

a.3) Brands

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.

b) Other Intangible assets

Assets in progress

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.

2.9 Impairment of goodwill, rights of use, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

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.

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.

2.10 Financial assets

2.10.1 Classification

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) Assets measured at amortized cost

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.

b) Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

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.

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.

2.10.2 Recognition and derecognition

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.

2.10.3 Impairment

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.

a) Accounts receivable from customers

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.

b) Other amounts receivable and financial assets

For assets receivable valued at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group prepares its analyzes based on the general model. In preparing this valuation, 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.

2.11 Inventories

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.

2.12 Accounts receivable and other debtors and accounts payable to suppliers and other creditors

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.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

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.

2.14 Share capital

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.

2.15 Loans obtained

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.

2.16 Income tax and deferred taxes

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.

2.17 Provisions and contingent assets and liabilities

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.

2.18 Recognising revenue

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:

  • 1) Identify the contract with the customer;
  • 2) Identification of performance obligations;
  • 3) Determine the transaction price;
  • 4) Allocate the transaction price; and
  • 5) Recognition of revenue.

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:

a) Sale of goods - retail

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 and manufacture.

2.19 Right of use and leases liabilities

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.

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.

Right of use

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.

Leasing liabilities

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.

In order to determine the lease term, in cases where extension and / or termination options are defined, the Board of Directors evaluates the projected business plans and determines the lease term that best reflects their expectations of permanence in the contract. This expectation can be adjusted according to changes in business conditions.

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 2021; and

c) there are no substantive changes to other lease terms and conditions.

2.20 Profit per share

Basic

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).

Diluted

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.

2.21 Subsequent events

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.

2.22 Derivatives financial instruments

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:

Fair value hedge

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.

Cash flow hedge

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.

Net investment hedge

Currently there are no foreign operational units (subsidiaries) in currencies other than the euro, therefore the Group is not exposed to foreign currency exchange-rate risks.

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.

2.23 Subsidiaries where the working currency is a currency of a hyperinflationary economy

Due to the fact that Angola in 2019 has failed to meet the conditions established in IAS 29 to be considered a hyperinflationary economy, the Group has suspended the application of that standard to the financial statements of companies in that country since 1 January 2019. The impacts determined in fiscal periods previous results resulting from this standard, namely those associated with non-monetary assets and liabilities, will remain in effect until the assets are disposed of, consumed or amortized and until the liabilities are disposed of or liquidated. Accordingly, IAS 29 was applied in 2017 and 2018, according to which the financial statements of a subsidiary that reports in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy need to be restated by applying a general price index of the country in whose currency it is reports before they are included in the consolidated financial statements.

2.24 Consolidated statement of cash flows

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

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.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

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.

a) Market risk

i) Currency exchange risk

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 lead to a shortage of foreign currency in Angola, so the devaluation of the Kwanza is a risk to be considered. 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, 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.

As at 31 December 2020 and 2019 currency exchange risk was as follows:

(*) exchange rate USD / EUR 0.84 and 0.93, respectively, in 2020 and 2019.

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.

Due to this full coverage and based on the figures as at 31 December 2020, any simulation of a depreciation of the AOA (Kwanzas) against the USD and EUR, keeping everything else constant, would not have a negative impact on Ibersol's net profit.

Based on simulations performed on 31 December 2020, a decrease from 10% to 15% in AOA, concerning EUR and USD currency, keeping everything else constant, would have an impact of 1.295 thousand and 1.943 thousand Euros (1.408 thousand Euros and 2.015 thousand Euros in 2019), respectively, on the Group's equity.

ii) Price risk

The Group is not greatly exposed to price risk.

iii) Interest rate risk (cash flow and fair value)

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 19 million Euros are subject to interest maturities and repayment plans identical to the terms of the loans. A loan of 20 million Euros with fixed rate debt is contracted.

Based on simulations performed on 31 December 2020, an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate, maintaining other factors constant, would have a negative impact in the net profit of 610,000 Euros (513,000 Euros in 2019).

b) Credit risk

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 3.5% 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.

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 2020, is not significant, with the exception of the above mentioned Treasury Bonds of the Republic of Angola in the amount of 2.6 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 2020 and 2019, 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.

The quality of financial assets not due or impaired is detailed in Note 15.

c) Liquidity risk

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 168 million Euros, compared with 90 million Euros in current assets. This disequilibrium is, on one hand, a financial characteristic of this business and, on the other hand, it is due to 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 and still 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. Considering, 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 almost all current liabilities.

Even with reduced use of the group has contracted a significant amount of short-term lines. On 31 December 2020, the short term liquidity cash flow amounted to 14 million Euros and were not used. Investments in term deposits and other application of 50 million Euros, match 28% of liabilities paid.

The following table shows the Group financial liabilities (relevant items), considering contractual cash-flows:

until December 2021 from December 2021 to 2039
Bank loans and overdrafts 19 573 625 145 494 956

3.2 Capital risk

a) Gearing ratio

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 2020 and 2019 the gearing ratio was of 74% and 66%, respectively, as follows:

Dec-20 Dec-19
Lease liabilities 329 014 533 339 983 201
Bank loans 165 068 581 121 162 682
Other financial assets -2 442 186 -15 626 772
Cash and bank deposits -50 550 293 -38 424 757
Net indebtedness 441 090 633 407 094 354
Equity 156 405 905 214 228 476
Total capital 597 496 538 621 322 830
Gearing ratio 74% 66%

b) Risk of franchise agreements

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 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 to open new restaurants.

3.3 Estimated fair value

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.

4. MAIN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

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.

b) Measurement and recognition of deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future taxable income to use these 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 that allow their recovery.

c) Lease term and financing rate increases

In order to determine the estimated impacts of adopting IFRS 16, the Group makes estimates on lease terms and their incremental financing rates, when there is no information on the implicit interest rate, which incorporate specific market and entities own risks that require the Group to make relevant judgments and estimates, such as the lease term until Ibersol's unilateral Break Clauses, as well as any estimates and judgments used in the application of the practical file of IFRS 16 referred to as described in Note 2.19.

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.

In 2019, an investment of approximately 44 million Euros was made in the opening of 40 new units, mainly 14 Burger King, 3 KFC and 3 Pizza Hut in Portugal, and 5 concessions at the airports of Alicante, Barcelona and Las Palmas, 2 Burger King and 2 Pans in Spain.

Impairment tests on cash-generating units (CGU)

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.

Methods and assumptions

As at 31 December 2020 and 2019, 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%.

Results of impairment tests

The tests performed on Ibersol Group restaurants with signs of impairment resulted in the need to record impairment in the amount of 831,559 Euros and 492,745 Euros in 2020 and 2019, respectively, relating to property, plant and equipment, as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis performed, with an increase of 1% in the discount rate used for each of the segments, did not lead to signs of additional impairments.

Since the CGU for which impairments were recognized, they were already recognized at 100%, at the store level. In addition, we have not identified any additional risks arising from greater volatility in terms of projections of business developments in the medium term, with the exception of the travel business in Spain, as described in Note 9.

The impairment determined in the CGU identified above was fully allocated to property, plant and equipment. Notwithstanding the CGU include other assets (RoU and intangible), considering the materiality of the impairment determined and the lower weight of the other assets of each CGU, the allocation of the impairment would not result in significant differences in the presentation of the financial statements.

Additionally, we recorded losses in the amount of approximately 887 thousand Euros due to the closure of restaurants during the year.

Goodwill – Impairment tests

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, namely the opening, 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.

Covid-19

Given the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group chose to reflect, in its medium and long-term projections, more defensive growth expectations, considering that the adverse economic effects would remain in the coming years. However, and despite the different business models and markets in which it operates, with expectations of recovery at different rates, it is reasonable to admit that the main impacts on cash flow may be felt in the next 2 years, but that all business units are in a phase of full recovery in the third year, with the exception of the travel operation in Spain, where full recovery may only occur in 2026 according to data published by the main bodies of the aviation market.

With the exception of the results obtained in the analyses of the travel operation in Spain and the Pizza Movil operation in Spain, the remaining impairment tests did not result in significant impairment losses, in line with Management's expectations, which effectively point out that there are no other permanent losses in its businesses, with a 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.

Methods and assumptions:

As at 31 December 2020 and 2019, the methods and main assumptions used in preparing the impairment tests for the Group's goodwill were as follows:

Year 2020 WACC (1) Growth rate for
residual value
Portugal - Quick Service 7,3% 2,0%
Portugal - Restaurantes e Catering 7,6% 2,0%
Espanha - Quick Service 6,6% 2,0%
Espanha - Restaurantes 6,9% 2,0%
Espanha - Travel 8,5% 2,0%

(1) According to the business segment, Fast Food (Burger King and KFC), Restaurants and Travel, respectively.

The discount rate presented was calculated based on the WACC methodology (Weighted Average Cost of Capital).

In 2020, given the impacts of Covid-19 in the catering sectors, impairment tests were performed on Goodwill, with the assumptions for the evolution of the different segments, the most recent market inputs and the evolution of the operation, of the performance in the gradual reopening of the restaurants, as well as local and international entities that operate in the air transport and tourism market, with decisive relevance for the Travel segment.

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.

Results of impairment tests:

In 2020, the tests performed resulted in the need to record an impairment in the amount of 7,458,583 Euros in goodwill, as follows:

Year 2020
Unit Recoverable
amount (use
value)
Assets account

EatOut (CFU) 30 630 919 34 973 215 4 342 296

TOTAL 30 630 919 38 089 502 7 458 583

In 2020, following the decision not to reopen nine Pizza Móvil restaurants in Spain, there was a need to constitute impairment for the total amount of 3.1 million Euros in goodwill (restaurants).

Given the expectations of recovery of air traffic in Europe, which have been aggravated by the delay in vaccination processes against Covid-19, the group adjusted Travel projections to the new forecasts of airspace regulators, considering a scenario more delayed in the recovery of traffic at airports, following the successive projections that have been disseminated by specialist entities in the aviation sector. In addition, given the uncertainty regarding the final outcome of the negotiations with the airport concessionaire in Spain, the group also considered an additional risk for this business, with the consequent worsening of the discount rate, which led to the recognition of the aforementioned impairment, in the € 4,342,296 to Travel's goodwill.

The additional analyses of signs of impairment and revision of the projections did not result in the determination of more impairment losses to be recognized.

Sensitivity analysis:

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.

From the sensitivity analysis performed, with an increase of 0.5% in the discount rate used for each of the segments, it would lead to an additional impairment to be recognized at the level of goodwill of travel in Spain of approximately 2.8 million Euros. The conclusion does not change in terms of the recoverability of the remaining goodwill value.

The analysis of impairment of goodwill associated with the travel operation in Spain took into account Management's best estimates regarding the outcome of the process with AENA, which means, the variability of minimum annual rents due to the recovery of traffic, and introduced the discount rate to uncertainty that may be associated with it.

Simulating a hypothetical scenario of the rents payable being those of the original contracts, that is, without any modification of the rents due to the profound changes in traffic, the amount of the impairment to be recognized on the goodwill associated with the travel operation in Spain would be a total loss, as well as an impairment on tangible and intangible non-transferable fixed assets could have to be recognized, which amount to approximately 9 million Euros at 31 December 2020. It should also be noted that on 31 December 2020 the value of the right of use recognized in the consolidated balance sheet associated with these contracts is 152 million Euros and the lease liability is 196 million Euros.

If we consider the last income reduction proposal for 2020 and 2021 presented by AENA as described in Note 1, the amount of the loss of goodwill to be recognized could also be total.

In addition, we have not identified any additional risks arising from greater volatility in the medium term projections of business evolution with the exception of the travel business in Spain, as described above.

Other Assets - Brands, Industrial Property and Other Intangible Assets

In the remaining intangible assets, with a defined useful life, the impairment tests performed revealed that the recoverable amount is higher.

Valuations were made based on the value in use calculated based on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method and according to the Royalty Relief methodology, depending on the type of asset supporting the recoverability of its values.

The values reached are sustained by historical performance, expectations of market development and strategic development plans for each business.

Industrial property includes: space exploitation rights (entrance rights or surface rights), trademark exploitation rights and concession rights.

The group's main operating rights relate to the franchise rights paid to international brands at the opening of the restaurants operating under the brand: 20 years for Burger King and 10 years for Pizza Hut and KFC, which are renewable by others 10 years by option of the franchisee.

On 31 December 2020, the group's concessions, territorial rights and related life cycle are shown below:

Concession Rights No of years Termination Date
Lusoponte Service Areas 33 2032
2ª Circular (KFC) Service Areas 10 2027
Marina de Portimão 60 2061

Talhada (Vouzela) Service Areas 25 2031
Viseu Service Areas 25 2031
Matosinhos Service Areas 24 2030
Maia Service Areas 26 2032

With the same assumptions of the discount rate and growth (Note 8) it was concluded that there is no additional impairment charges for intangible assets, in addition to the amounts referred in the "Property, plant and equipment".

During March 2021, and as described in Note 1, the Group filed a lawsuit against AENA concerning the values of the minimum guaranteed rents of space rental contracts in airports in Spain. As a result, the Group intends for the contract to be modified which, if verified, will result in the reduction of the minimum lease payments that are, as at 31 December 2020, included in the Group's consolidated balance sheet as a current lease liability in the approximate amount of 48 million Euros (24 million Euros in 2020 and 2021) and non-current amount of 47 million Euros.

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.

In addition, the Group currently has two legal proceedings underway with subcontracted service providers (for a maximum total amount of approximately 1.9 million Euros) for which it considers that there is no risk of any additional liabilities to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, supported by in the opinion of its legal advisors.

34. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The closure of borders and the much lower mobility of the world population had an impact of drops in air traffic of more than 70%. Negotiations took place over several months with the owner of the Airports in Spain in order to obtain an adjustment of the contracts since the different specialist entities in the aviation sector expect that the normalization of traffic will take several years. As it was not possible to conclude the agreements, the largest commercial operators operating at the airports in Spain requested in court the financial rebalancing of the respective contracts.

On 9 March 2021, the subsidiary Pansfood SAU in Juizo 1ª Instancia nº 1, Tribunal El Prat de Llobregat filed a lawsuit against AENA, SME, SA claiming the adjustment of rents relating to 2020 (approximately 24 million Euros) and the rebalancing of guaranteed minimum rents as a result of traffic until 2026.

At the same time, urgent precautionary measures were requested, mainly aiming at preventing AENA from executing the guarantees it has in its favour in the amount of 26 million Euros. On 26 March 2021, the Court ruled in favour of the precautionary measure.

The severity of the third Covid-19 wave in this first quarter of 2021 resulted in a worsening of sanitary measures and the closure of the restoration activity enacted in mid-January and which lasted until April 19 for a conditional opening.

To suspend or reduce working hours, the Group adhered to the simplified lay-off in Portugal and maintained ERTE in Spain.

With the "support" "and support restoration" programs extended to non-SMEs but limited to companies with a turnover of less than 50 million Euros in 2019, we were only able to qualify for applications of approximately 1 million Euros.

In terms of financing, we adhered to the extension of grace periods and terms in financing guaranteed by the State: i) Financing to support the Covid-19 economy, in Portugal, with adherence to another 9 months of grace period and maturity, which represents lower disbursements in the short term of 4.1 million Euros

ii) ICO line of 20 million Euros, in Spain; with an increase of another year of grace period and extension of maturity by another 3 years (2025 to 2028), representing a reduction of disbursements in the short term of 2.5 mn Euros

iii) Other ICO Financings, in Spain, with an increase in the grace period and maturity in 1 year, representing a reduction in short-term repayments of 0.5 million Euros

iv) ICO lines in current account, in the amount of 15 million Euros, increased the term by another 1 year

With the impact of this period of confinement on the activity and the delay in the European vaccination plans, the Group started negotiations to reinforce the available financing lines.

In mid-January a new confinement was decreed, the second within 10 months, resulting in a new period of closure of the restaurants, which lasted until 19 of April, with the expectation that the state of emergency will be lifted at 3 May.

35. APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Ibersol is owned by 54,91% by ATPS - SGPS, S.A., with head-office at Edifício Península – Praça do Bom Sucesso, 105/159 – 9º - 4150-146 Porto.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27h April 2021. The Board believes that these financial statements reflect the true and proper Ibersol operations, as well as its position and financial performance and cash flows.

COVID-19

2020 is defined by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak that spread worldwide, stopping global economic activity, with profound impacts on consumer behaviours and habits.

On 11 March, the World Health Organization decreed a pandemic associated with the spread of Covid-19, and a state of emergency was decreed, which determined measures to contain the population and to close the majority of commerce and restaurants in order to halt the transmission of the virus.

Gradually, at the beginning of the second half, there was an upturn in activity, adjusted to the norms that aimed to guarantee safety and reduce the risk of infection, through the application of constraints to certain businesses, in order to guarantee social distance.

After the summer, there was an increase in the number of infections, which led to a second wave and the consequent worsening of the imposed conditions, with the governments decreeing additional restrictive measures, some of which are still in force:

  • curfew;
  • punctual closing of business;
  • limitation of opening hours;
  • restrictions on the mobility of people;
  • border closure.

Ibersol, following the indications of the World Health Organization and General Health Directorates, activated the contingency plans that made it possible to give priority to the safety of all customers and employees and to ensure the protection of the entire supply chain.

In Portugal, Ibersol joined Extraordinary Incentive to the Standardization of Business Activity, while in Spain, as at 31 December, it remained with approximately 1,370 employees in ERTE.

At the same time, cost reduction initiatives were taken through the renegotiation of contracts, including the financial rebalancing of lease contracts.

However, during the year, however, the negotiation of airport concession contracts in Spain was not concluded, due to a lack of agreement with the concessionaire AENA. After a long negotiation process in which AENA proposed an adjustment of rents according to the number of passengers, Pansfood found itself faced with a proposal to reduce the income that would result in a reduction of the guaranteed minimum income of approximately 60% in the fiscal year 2020 and 50% until September 2021, with the obligation to waive the request for further income reductions.

Since most entities expect that the recovery of air traffic to the levels of 2019 will occur only in 2026, the need to request an adjustment of the rent until that year has been determined.

As a result, the Group initiated a legal proceeding against AENA so that the economic and financial balance of these contracts was restored. In March 2021, the Group obtained a favourable decision by Tribunal de El Prat de Llobregat regarding the constraint of AENA to execute bank guarantees (Note 31) and collateral provided by PansFood under these contracts. With regard to the rent negotiation process, the Board of Directors strongly expects, supported also by its legal advisors, that the outcome of the lease is favourable to it, which will result in a value of guaranteed minimum rent to be paid to AENA lower than initially projected in the original contracts of around 95 million Euros, of which 24 million Euros referring to 2020 and another 24 million Euros to 2021, the remaining 47 million Euros referring to periods after 1 January 2022. The last proposal of the AENA mentioned above would result in a reduction of the guaranteed minimum rents payable for 2020 and 2021 of around 36 million Euros.

At the date of publication of this report, we are ending another lockdown after a third wave of the pandemic, whose future evolution will be directly related to the rhythms and effectiveness of the vaccination processes, both locally and globally, which will condition mobility and consumption habits.

Ibersol has been updating financial plans and cash flow projections in line with pandemic developments and prospects for recovery, to allow due monitoring of Ibersol's financial capacity to settle its liabilities.

2 Financial statements accounting standards

2.1. Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applied in the European Union and in force on 1 January 2020. They have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle.

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. In Note 3 of these financial statements we have the areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant.

The financial statements are expressed in Euro (rounded to the unit).

2.2. Derogation from SNC standards

In these financial statements, there has not been any exception involving directly the derogation of any IFRS standard.

2.3. Comparability of Financial statements

The elements contained in these Financial Statements are, in their entirety, comparable with those of the previous period.

2.4. New standards, change and interpretations

2.4.1. Accounting standards and interpretations recently issued that came into force and which Ibersol applied in the preparation of these financial statements, are as follows:

a) Changes to references to the conceptual structure in IFRS standards

In March 2018, the IASB issued a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, the revised Conceptual Framework for financial reporting (Conceptual Framework), which aims to update, in existing standards, the references and citations of the existing version of the Conceptual Framework or the which was replaced in 2010, replacing them with references to the revised Conceptual Framework.

The revised Conceptual Framework has an effective adoption date for periods beginning 1 January 2020 for companies that use the Conceptual Framework to develop accounting policies when no IFRS standard applies to a specific transaction.

The adoption of this standard had no impact on Ibersol's financial statements.

b) Definition of Materiality (changes to IAS 1 and IAS 8)

On 31 October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to its definition of materiality to facilitate companies in making materiality judgments.

The amendments consist of (a) replacing the term "can influence" with "can reasonably be expected to influence"; (b) include the concept of "concealment" together with the concepts of "omission" and "distortion" of information in the definition of materiality; (c) clarify that the "users" referred to are the main users of the general financial statements referred to in the Conceptual Framework, and (d) align the definition of materiality among the IFRS publications.

The amended definition of materiality therefore states that "Information is material if it can be reasonably considered that its omission, distortion or concealment may influence the decisions that primary users of general financial statements will make based on those same financial statements, that provide financial information for a particular reporting entity.".

The adoption of this standard had no impact on Ibersol's financial statements.

c) Amendment to Interest Rate benchmarks (changes to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7)

On 26 September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7. The amendments modify certain specific hedge accounting requirements to mitigate the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the IBOR reform. In addition, the changes require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships, which are directly affected by these uncertainties.

The amendments provide exceptions for entities to apply hedge accounting requirements, assuming that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged risk or the hedged cash flows of the hedged item or the cash flows of the hedge instrument is based coverage, is not changed as a result of the IBOR reform. The proposed exceptions apply only to hedge accounting requirements and the amendments do not provide relief from other consequences arising from the reform of the interest rate benchmark.

The changes are limited in scope. If a hedg fails to meet hedge accounting requirements for reasons other than those specified in the amendments, discontinuation of hedge accounting remains necessary.

In addition, the amendments clarify that if an entity designates cash flows based on an interest rate benchmark as the item covered in a cash flow hedge, the entity will not assume, in order to measure the ineffectiveness of the hedge, that the expected replacement of the interest rate benchmark with an alternative reference rate will result in zero cash flow after replacement. Coverage gain or loss should be measured using cash flows based on an interest rate benchmark when applying a present value technique, discounted at a market discount rate that reflects market participants' expectations about the resulting uncertainty reform.

Changes are mandatory for all hedging relationships to which exceptions apply.

The changes have an effective date of adoption for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The changes are applied retrospectively to the hedging relationships existing at the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the changes and to the gain or loss recognized in comprehensive income at the beginning of the period in which the entity first applies the changes (that is, even if the reporting period is not an annual period).

d) Definition of business (changes to IFRS 3 Business Concentration)

On 22 October 2018, the IASB issued changes to its definition of business.

The changes clarify that, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, contribute significantly to the ability to create outputs. The amendments also clarify that a set of activities and assets can qualify as a business without including all the inputs and processes necessary to create outputs, or including the outputs themselves, replacing the term "ability to create outputs" with "ability to contribute to creating outputs ".

It is no longer necessary to assess whether market participants are able to substitute missing inputs or processes (for example, integrating acquired activities and assets) and continue to produce outputs. The changes focus on whether the inputs acquired, and the substantive processes acquired together contribute significantly to the ability to create outputs.

The amendments must be applied to transactions whose date of acquisition is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with early application permitted. If entities apply the changes in advance, they must disclose that fact.

This change to the standard had no impact on Ibersol's financial statements.

2.4.2. Ibersol decided to chose early application of the following standards and / or interpretations, adopted by the European Union:

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 change allows tenants not to assess whether certain Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees applying the practical expedient should account for these rental concessions as if they were not modifications of the lease, so that, for example, the rental amount cancelled on or before 30 June 2021 is recognized in profit or loss. in the same year in which the concession is granted, instead of being awarded over the duration of the contract, as would be the case if practical expedition were not allowed.

The change must be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Early application is permitted.

Ibersol chose early application. This application had no impact on the individual financial statements of Ibersol SGPS.

2.4.3. Ibersol decided to chose early application of the following standards and / or interpretations, adopted by the European Union:

a) Reform of the Interest Rate Reference Index - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)

In August 2020, IASB issued the Interest Rate Reference Reform - Phase 2, which changes 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 these changes is to help entities provide useful information to users of financial statements and to assist preparers in applying IFRS standards when changes are made to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships as a result of the transition from an interest rate. IBOR reference for alternative reference 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, which deals with the accounting impacts of the IBOR reform, which led to the Interest Rate Reference 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 dealt with the accounting impacts of pre-replacement of the IBOR reform and which were issued by the IASB in 2019.

The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, with early application permitted.

Ibersol is evaluating the impacts that this standard will have on its financial statements.

b) Extension of the temporary exemption from application of IFRS 9 (amendments to IFRS 4)

IASB issued "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Application of IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4) on 25 June 2020.

The purpose of the amendments is to extend the expiration date of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 by two years (ie, from 2021 to 2023), in order to align the effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 17 Contracts for Safe.

This standard does not apply to Ibersol's activity sectors.

2.4.4. Standards, amendments and interpretations issued (but not yet effective for the company), for which no significant impacts are estimated:

a) References to the Conceptual Framework (changes to IFRS 3)

In May 2020, IASB issued "References to the Conceptual Framework", changing IFRS 3 Business Concentration.

The amendments updated IFRS 3, replacing the reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework with a reference to the most recent version, which was issued in March 2018.

The changes must be applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2022. Early application is permitted if, at the same time or rather, an entity also applies all changes made to "Changes to references to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards", issued in March 2018.

b) Property, plant and equipment - Revenue before intended use, changes to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment

In May 2020, IASB issued "Property, plant and equipment - Revenue before Intended Use", which amended IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment.

The amendments prohibit the deduction at cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, of any revenue from the sale of items produced by bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner intended by management. Instead, the entity shall recognize these sales revenues in profit or loss.

The amendments must be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

c) Onerous Contracts - Cost of fulfilling a contract

In May 2020, IASB issued "Onerous Contracts - Cost of Completing 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 valuation if, in a contract, the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the obligations arising from the contract exceed the economic benefits expected from it.

The amendments must be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

d) Improvements in the 2018-2020 cycle

On 14 May 2020, the IASB issued improvements to IFRS 2018–2020 containing the following changes to IFRSs:

(i) allow an entity, as a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, that adopts IFRS for the first time after its parent company and chooses 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 company, 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 creditor, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the creditor 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 that accompanies 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 be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early application permitted.

e) Clarification of the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current (changes to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements).

On 23 January 2020, IASB issued 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 an IAS 1 criterion 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 amendments aim to:

a. 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 as to whether the entity will exercise its right to postpone settlement;

c. clarify how loan conditions affect classification; and

d. clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities that an entity will settle, or may settle, through the issuance of its own equity instruments.

This change is effective for periods after 1 January 2023.

f) IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts

To be developed only for insurance companies or that have insurance subsidiaries. Otherwise refer that it is not applicable.

On 18 May 2017, the IASB issued a standard that came to replace IFRS 4 and completely reform the treatment of 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 in terms of financial position. The standard provides for its application for years beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Ibersol did not proceed with the early application of any of these standards in the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, as their application is not mandatory. No significant impacts are estimated on the financial statements resulting from its adoption.

The following standards/amendments have recently been published: "Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: COVID 19 Rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021", " Disclosure of accounting policies (amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2); "Changes to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates". Their impact is still being assessed by the Group.

3 Main accounting policies

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.

3.1. Financial investments in subsidiaries and associates

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;

  • material transactions between the investor and the investee;
  • exchange of management personnel; or
  • provision of essential technical information.

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.

3.2. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, net of amortizations and accumulated impairment losses.

The historical cost includes all expenses attributable directly to the acquisition of goods.

Borrowing costs incurred and borrowing costs for the construction of property, plant and equipment are recognized as part of the cost of building the asset.

Subsequent costs are added to the amounts for which the asset is carried or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that inherent economic benefits will flow to the company and the cost can be measured reliably. Other expenses with repairs and maintenance are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of assets is calculated using the straight-line method, in order to allocate their cost to their residual value, according to their estimated useful life, as follows:

The estimated useful life for the most significant property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Years
Land and buildings Between 10 and 35 years
Equipment Between 4 and 20 years
Other property, plant and equipment Between 5 and 10 years

The depreciable amounts of the assets, the useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Changes in useful lives are treated as a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.

If the carrying amount is greater than the asset's recoverable amount, it is readjusted immediately to the estimated recoverable amount.

Gains or losses arising from the write-off or disposal are determined by the difference between the receipts from the disposals and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized as other operating income or other operating costs in the income statement.

The assets in progress are recorded at acquisition cost less any impairment losses. These assets are amortized from the moment the underlying assets are available for use.

3.3. Impairment of assets

Assets with a specific useful life are not subject to amortisation and are, instead, subject to annual impairment tests. Ibersol performs impairment test at 31 December of each year and whenever there are events or alterations in the circumstances causing their accounting value not to be recoverable.

Ibersol identifies an impairment loss and determines whether the loss is permanent or not whenever the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of assets. In cases where the loss is not considered permanent and definitive, Ibersol makes the disclosure of the reasons for this conclusion.

The recoverable amount is the highest amount between an asset's fair value minus the costs necessary for its sale and its utilisation value. Assets are grouped at the lowest level at which it may be able to separately identify cash flows (units generating cash flows), to perform impairment tests.

At each reporting date, non-financial assets with impairment, other than goodwill, are assessed on the possible reversal of impairment losses.

Amortisation and depreciation of assets are recalculated prospectively in accordance with the recoverable value when there is an impairment reversal.

3.4. Financial assets

3.4.1 Classification

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) Assets measured at amortized cost

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.

b) Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

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.

3.4.2 Recognition and derecognition

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.

3.4.3 Impairment

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.

3.5. Cash and cash equivalents

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.

3.6. Share capital

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.

3.7. Loans obtained

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.

3.8. Income tax

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.

3.9. Personnel benefits

The employee performance premiums are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of the year in which the payment occurs.

3.10. Provisions

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.

3.11. Costs and income

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

3.12. Revenue

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.

3.13. Derivative financial instruments

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.

Fair value hedge

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.

Cash flow hedge

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.

Net investment hedge

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.

3.14. Main accounting estimates and judgments

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:

Main accounting estimates

3.14.1 Impairment

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.

3.14.2 Taxes

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.

3.15. Financial risk management

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.

3.15.1 Interest rate risk

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 19 million euros are based on the maturity of interest and repayment plans identical to the conditions of the loans. A loan of 20 million euros is contracted at a fixed rate.

An increase on the interest rate, keeping everything else constant, would not have a negative impact on the company's accounts as Ibersol contractually affects the financing to subsidiaries.

3.15.2 Credit risk

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.

3.15.3 Liquidity risk

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 2020, current liabilities amounted to 4 million Euros, compared to 4 million Euros in current assets. The non-current assets include 162 million Euros of loans to subsidiaries, of which 159 million Euros reimbursement may be requested in the short term, if necessary.

3.15.4 Capital risk

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 2020 and 2019, the gearing ratio was as follows:

Dec/20 Dec/19
Loans granted -162 448 996 -159 504 996
Loans obtained 71 800 000 73 000 000

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:

Growth rate

Portugal 2,00%

Discount rate

Portugal 7,3%/7,6% Spain 6,6%/6,9%/8,5% 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.

Covid-19

Given the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group chose to reflect, in its medium and longterm projections, more defensive growth expectations, considering that the adverse economic effects would remain in the coming years. However, and despite the different business models and markets in which it operates, with different recovery expectations and at different rates, it is reasonable to assume that the main impacts on cash flow may be felt in the next 2 years, but that all business units are in a phase of full recovery in the 3rd year, with the exception of the travel operation in Spain where full recovery is only expected to occur in 2026 according to data published by the main bodies of the aviation market .

The analysis of the impairment of the participation in Asurebi considered the possible effects associated with the travel operation, and it was based on the best estimates of the Management regarding the outcome of the process with AENA, that is, the variability of the annual minimum rents according to the recovery of traffic, and introduced into the discount rate the uncertainty that may be associated with it.

From the analysis performed, no impairment losses to be recognized were identified.

6.2 Supplementary capital contributions

As at 31 December 2020 and 2019, balances recognised under this heading relate to subsidiaries supplementary capital contributions. Subsidiaries supplementary capital contributions are not remunerated or have no fixed maturity.

21 Subsequent events

On 9 March 2021, the subsidiary Pansfood SAU (Asurebi's indirect subsidiary) in Juizo 1ª Instancia nº.1 of the Tribunal El Prat de Llobregat, filed a lawsuit against AENA, SME, SA claiming the adjustment of rents relating to 2020 (approximatelly 24 million Euros) and the rebalancing of guaranteed minimum rents as a result of traffic until 2026.

At the same time, urgent precautionary measures were requested, mainly aiming at preventing AENA from executing the guarantees it has in its favour in the amount of 26 million Euros. On 26 March 2021, the Court ruled in favour of the precautionary measure.

The severity of the third Covid-19 wave in this first quarter of 2021 resulted in a worsening of sanitary measures and the closure of the restoration activity enacted in mid-January and which lasted until April 19 for a conditional opening.

To suspend or reduce working hours, Ibersol joined the simplified lay-off in Portugal and maintained ERTE in Spain.

In terms of financing, Ibersol adhered to the extension of grace periods and terms in subsidiaries financing, guaranteed by the State:

i) Financing to support the Covid-19 economy, in Portugal, with adherence to another 9-month grace period and maturity, which represents lower disbursements in the short term of 4.1 million Euros

ii) ICO line of 20 million Euros, in Spain; with an additional one-year grace period and an extension of maturity by another 3 years (2025 to 2028), representing a reduction of disbursements in the short term of 2.5 million Euros

iii) Other ICO Financing, in Spain, with a grace period and maturity increase of 1 year, representing a reduction in short-term repayments of 0.5 million Euros

iv) ICO lines in current account, in the amount of 15 million Euros, increased the term by another 1 year

With the impact of this period of confinement on the activity and the delay in the European vaccination plans, it started negotiations to reinforce available financing lines for the Group.
