CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

The outlook for the world economy at the beginning of 2022 was one of optimism based on the positive impact of measures to contain the pandemic and the gradual normalisation of global imbalances, particularly in regard to supply chains. During the first six months, however, several challenges arose. The first was the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was followed by the impact of the restrictive measures implemented by the Chinese authorities in response to new outbreaks of Covid-19. At the same time, production and consumption prices continued to rise month after month, delaying the expected turnaround in the overall economic trend. Global supply chains were affected by persistent difficulties. Europe suffered an energy crisis, while emerging economies, especially those of the more fragile countries in Africa and Asia, were beset by food shortages. Higher interest rates, the prospect of increased monetary tightening, less favourable financial conditions, the depreciation of risky assets, increased volatility and risk aversion characterised financial markets. The US dollar became the preferred safe haven currency.

The US economy will have registered in the second quarter, registering a continuous six months of negative economic growth. A reduction in residential construction, a fall in business stocks and a decrease in goods consumption appear to have been the underlying causes of this drop, which contrasted with the increase in imports at the beginning of the year.

The Euro Zone will have registered a growth of 0.7% in chain, above expectations, and of 4.0% compared to the same period between April and June. The positive evolution may have resulted from the lack of definition after restrictions related to the fight against COVID-19, with the services sector showing a clear recovery, especially the hospitality segment, and will be, perhaps, hiding the challenges that the European industry faces: chain supply, high energy costs, risks of rationing and slowing demand. Consumption will have shown less strength in terms of the acquisition of goods.

China's economy contracted for another straight quarter, marginally escaping a negative year-on-year comparison. Performance was worse than expected, leaving open the prospect of an unfavourable evolution up to the end of the year, given that youth unemployment registered a sharp increase, the real estate sector is showing unfavourable signs and local indebtedness is high. Restrictive measures to contain Covid-19 have served only to make existing weaknesses more evident. The fiscal lever has, once again, been considered a panacea.

In the first three months of 2022, Corticeira Amorim was impacted by the acquisition of the SACI group, whose activities have been consolidated into Group accounts since the beginning of the year. The SACI group's first-half figures confirmed expectations regarding the evolution of the company, whose main activity is the sale of muselets through the subsidiary ICAS. First-half sales by the SACI group reached €57 million, while EBITDA

totalled €10.6 million. Compared with the same period of 2021, the SACI group (which in 2021 did not yet belong to Corticeira Amorim) increased sales by about 30%.

First-half sales growth, excluding the acquisition of the SACI group, was 13%, and growth in the sales in the first quarter was 18% and the second quarter of 8%. The first quarter of 2021 was the period most affected by the coronavirus pandemic and it was to be expected that sales growth would slow down in the second quarter of 2022 compared with the same period of the previous year. The pace of sales growth is expected to decelerate in the second half of 2022, given that in the corresponding period of the previous year Corticeira Amorim's activities were less affected by Covid-19.

Corticeira Amorim's first-half consolidated sales (including the SACI group) increased 25.9% compared with the same period of 2021 to total €545.5 million (€488.4 million excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter).

In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stoppers BU registered growth of 29.0% and had the greatest weight in Corticeira Amorim's total sales. Excluding the impact in the change in the consolidation perimeter (the SACI group is part of the Cork Stoppers BU), the BU's sales would have increased 10.7%.

The Group's other BUs also registered sales increases. The Raw Materials BU recorded an increase of 9.8%; the Floor and Wall Coverings BU 21.7%; the Composite Cork BU 7.1% and the Insulation BU 10.6%. This evolution reflects an improvement in the product mix, increased prices and volume growth.

Comparable EBITDA increased 13.2% to €87.5 million, a percentage increase above that of sales. The EBITDAsales ratio increased from 17.8% to 17.9%. Although inflationary pressures, particularly in relation to energy, raw materials and transport, continued to penalise earnings with the increased levels of activity and an improved product mix proving decisive in protecting profitability.

The results of associate companies remained in line with those of the previous year, despite an increase in the contribution made by the associate company Vinolok.

As a result of consolidating the SACI group, which is now 50% owned by Corticeira Amorim, non-controlling interests had an increased impact on Corticeira Amorim's net income in the amount of €6.4 million in the first half (1H21: €2.3 million).

After results attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €47.6 million, an increase of 20.6% compared with the same period of the previous year. On a comparable basis, the increase in net income would have been 14.1%.

At the end of the first half, net interest-bearing debt totalled €71 million, an increase of €23 million compared with the end of 2021. Dividend payments (€27 million), investment in fixed assets (€34 million), the first payment related to the acquisition of the 50% stake in the SACI group (€25 million) and the second payment for Cold River's Homestead (Herdade do Rio:€15 million) were the main factors contributing to this increase, which was offset by the amount of EBITDA generated. It should be noted that the second payment due for the acquisition of the holding in the SACI group (€23 million) was made at the beginning of July and did not affect the debt figures for the first half.

2. OPERATING ACTIVITIES - FIRST HALF 2022

The Raw Materials BU recorded sales growth of 9.8%. The increase in activity was driven by higher demand from the Corticeira Amorim Group's other BUs.

EBITDA totalled €13.4 million, a significant increase in relation to the same period of the previous year (€9.5 million). The increase in the EBITDA margin (from 9.4% to 12.1%) was essentially the result of higher activity

levels, an improved productivity mix and better cork yields, which more than offset the increase in operating costs, which mainly related electricity, personnel and transport.

The cork purchasing campaign has almost been completed, with prices having increased due to strong demand. Quantities were smaller, mainly due to unfavourable weather conditions.

Note should also be made of the transition to the full consolidation of Cold River's Homestead (Herdade de Rio Frio), which, until the end of the first half was an associate company. In terms of the forestry intervention project, it is worth mentioning the investments to be made in the coming years to increase the productivity of this unique forest property of cork oaks. These will include increasing planting density and using innovative processes and technologies.

The Cork Stoppers BU recorded sales totalling €401.7 million, an increase of 29.0% compared with the same period in 2021. The consolidation of the SACI group added €57.1 million in sales. On a like-for-like basis, sales increased by 10.7% compared with the first half of 2021.

This strong sales performance was the result of higher levels of activity, an improvement in the product mix, price increases implemented at the beginning of the year and the positive impact of exchange rates (excluding the exchange rate effect, sales increased 27.4% and, excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, 9.0%). All cork stoppers segments registered an increase in sales, as did a majority of the cork stopper categories – especially Neutrocork stoppers, which continue to show strong growth. Sales performance was positive in most countries, especially in Europe. Bottling of premium wines in the US was impacted by the forest fires of 2020.

EBITDA increased to €76.7 million (+31.1% y-o-y). Excluding the effect of consolidating the SACI group, EBITDA would have been €66.1 million (+13.0% y-o-y). The EBITDA margin (excluding the SACI group) remained virtually stable (19.2% vs 18.8% in the same period of 2021). Increased activity and product mix improvements continued to offset increases in the cost of energy, personnel and non-cork raw materials, and of lower crushing yields.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded sales of €77.3 million, an increase of 21.7% compared to with the same period of 2021. The balanced growth of trading product and manufactured product sales was notable, to highlight sales of Amorim WISE products (€7.6 million vs €6.9 million in the same period of 2021) and new products (€14.0 million vs €6.8 million). Increased prices and improvements in the product mix both contributed to this growth. The BU's strong sales performance in Scandinavia and Germany (its most important markets), as well as in Portugal were also worthy of note.

The BU recorded an EBITDA of €2.2 million, up from €4 million in the same period of 2021. The EBITDA-sales margin decreased from 6.3% to 2.8%. Non-cork raw material prices together with energy, transport (especially in the Asian market) and marketing costs (mainly associated with the "Walk on Amazing" campaign) contributed to this decrease.

Sales by Composite Cork BU totalled €61.7 million, an increase of 7.1% compared with the same period in 2021 (€57.7 million). Sales growth was recorded in most markets where the BU operates. The US market, which contributes most to the BU's sales, benefited from the appreciation of the dollar - excluding this effect, sales would have risen 4.4%.

The Aerospace, Multi-purposes Seals & Gaskets and Mobility segments continued to better their performance, supporting a significant improvement in the product mix. Footwear and Cork Specialists were the segments with the biggest declines in sales. Sales by the joint ventures Amorim Sports, Corkeen and, more recently, Korko, maintained a strong dynamism (14% higher than in the same period of 2021), remaining an important growth engine for the BU.

First-half EBITDA totalled €9.7 million. The EBITDA-sales margin increased to 15.8% (1H21: 9.0%). The improvement in profitability, despite higher operating costs (especially for energy, raw materials, transport and personnel), mainly resulted from improvements in the product mix, better grinding yields and the impact of favourable exchange rates (at constant exchange rates, the EBITDA-sale margin would have been 14.5%.

Sales by the Insulation BU totalled €8.0 million, an increase of 10.6% compared with the same period of 2021. It should be noted that this BU showed a decrease in sales of 2.8% at the end of the first quarter. The growth in sales benefited from an increase in sales prices, with most markets, especially France and Italy, performing positively.

EBITDA totalled €1.1 million, compared with €1.4 million in the same period of 2021. The EBITDA-sales ratio decreased to 13.6% (1H2021: 19.2%), negatively impacted by cell closures, higher cork consumption prices and increased operating costs (mainly higher energy prices), despite the BU having benefited from better cork yields and industrial efficiency gains.

3. CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

As previously mentioned, increased sales reflected the impact of the change in the consolidation perimeter resulting from the integration of the SACI group. Excluding this change, sales increased 12.7%.

The increase in the gross margin percentage from 49.7% to 53.2% reflected the increase in sales volume, sales price increases and the impact of a more favourable exchange rate.

In terms of operating costs, the increase of about €20.4 million in personnel costs (+12.8%, excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter) compared with the same period of the previous year was mainly due to an increase in the average number of employees. External supply and service costs increased 39.5% (excluding the perimeter change) compared with the same period of the previous year, due mainly to higher electricity costs (+€4 million, an increase of 50%) and transport costs (+21%).

The other operating income/expenses items that impact EBITDA evolved unfavourably, totally about €2.5 million. The impact of exchange rate differences regarding assets receivable and liabilities payable and their respective exchange rate risk coverage, which is included in other operating income/gains, was negative and amounted to about €0.3 million (1H21: -€0.7 million).

EBITDA increased 26.9%, totalling €98.1 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 18.0% (1H21: 17.8%). Excluding the effect of the consolidation of the SACI group, EBITDA increased 13.2% to €87.5 million.

Non-recurring results totalling €1.1 million were recognised, mainly resulting from the recording of an impairment (inventories and customers) reflecting a prudent approach to exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Financial results were slightly above those recorded in the same period of 2021.

The earnings of associate companies totalled €2.2 million, in line with those of the same period of 2021. Despite the improvement in the results of the associate company Vinolok (€2.0 million vs €1.4 million), the hyperinflation affecting the associate company Corchos de Argentina prevented the overall growth of associate company earnings.

As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the value of investment tax benefits for 2022 (RFAI and SIFIDE) at the end of the year. Thus, any tax gain will be recorded only at the closing of the 2022 accounts. During the first half definitive decisions were reached SIFIDE benefits for 2020 and partially for SIFIDE benefits for 2021. Receipt in 2022 of the definitive declarations of SIFIDE 2019 and of 2020.

Non-controlling interests increased y-o-y (€6.4 million vs €2.3 million), reflecting the impact of the acquisition of the SACI group (€2.8 million) on the accounts for the first half of 2022.

After income tax of €19.5 million and the allocation of results to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €47.6 million, an increase of 20.6% compared with the €39.4 million attributed in the first half of 2021. On a comparable basis, net income would have been €45.0 million (an increase of 14.1% over the same period of the previous year.

Earnings per share were €0.358, compared with €0.296 for the first half of 2021.

In terms of the Group's financial position, assets increased by €203 million compared with December 2021. A significant part of this increase resulted from the consolidation of the SACI group. Excluding the effect of this change, assets asset would have increased by €76 million.

Under item headings, and excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, trade receivable (€50 million due to increased turnover) and Other Assets (€33 million mainly due to advances for the purchase of raw materials) merit noting. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €28 million, reflecting the impact of a partial payment (€25 million) for the acquisition of 50% of the SACI group.

The change in Equity (excluding non-controlling interests) mainly reflects the earnings for the period (+€47.6 million) and the dividends distributed (€26.6 million). The increase in Non-Controlling Interests (+€55.7 million) was essentially due to the consolidation of the SACI group.

In regard to changes relating to Liabilities, recognition of the debt arising from the amount paid from the acquisition of the SACI group (€23 million), which took place at the beginning of July, merits noting, as do the increases under Suppliers (€35 million).

At the end of June 2022, Equity totalled €705 million. The financial autonomy ratio stood at 54.9%.

5. OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF

The first quarter of 2022 continued to register significant variations in the activities of Corticeira Amorim. The second quarter of 2022, however, already reflected a certainly normalisation in the growth of sales given that the comparable period had already experienced a less significant impact from the pandemic.

For the remaining quarters of 2022, the perspectives include maintaining the growth in activities verified in the second quarter even while certain restrictive factors may emerge to hinder this development. One of the challenges for the second quarter is the need to understand the impacts that an inflationary environment may have on global consumption.

In terms of transport and subsidiary material costs, despite expecting a lifting of the pressures driving the price rises, the situation is not forecast to return to the previous levels. Similarly, there is little expectation that the rise in prices in the energy market shall fall back significantly.

6. BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Throughout the 150 years of its history, Corticeira Amorim has successfully dealt with various different and deep social transformations. Corticeira Amorim, as any other economic actor, consequently continues to operate in the uncertain economic environment that is shaping global markets. The inflationary environment of the first quarter is one source of uncertainty that conditions the performance perspectives of Corticeira Amorim in 2022.

The risks and uncertainties detailed in the annual report remain very much in effect. At the end of the first quarter, the following aspect stands out:

  • Having ensured the needs for cork for the forthcoming year, Corticeira Amorim seeks to continue constantly responding to the needs of its clients distributed across five continents adopting practices that, at any moment, represent the best and the most appropriate. The diversification policy and corresponding practices (not just one product, not just one market, not just one currency) guarantees additional stability.

The Corticeira Amorim activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including exchange rate risks and interest rate risks), credit risks, liquidity risks and capital risks. The company's objectives and policies for managing these risks, including the coverage policy not only for each of the main categories of transactions planned through recourse to hedge accounting but also for the exposure to prices risks, credit risks, liquidity risks and cash flow risks as detailed in the "Financial Risk Management" Note included in the Notes to the Consolidated Accounts.

7. OWN SECURITIES

Throughout the first half of 2022, Corticeira Amorim did not acquire or dispose of any of its own shares.

On June 30, 2022, Corticeira Amorim did not hold any of its own shares.

In this report, Corticeira Amorim will be the designation of Corticeira Amorim, S.G.P.S., S.A., and in some cases the designation of Corticeira Amorim, S.G.P.S. together with all of its subsidiaries.

Except when mentioned, all monetary values are stated in thousand euros (Thousand euros = K euros = K€).

As of January 1, 2022, Corticeira Amorim began to disaggregate in the Statement of Position the Other financial assets and the Other assets, in a manner consistent with the disclosure that was already made in note 35 of the Annual Report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 were prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, and include the statement of financial position, the income statement, the income statement and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows, as well as the selected explanatory notes. The remaining notes were excluded because they have not suffered any changes in their standards which may affect the understanding of the financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of CORTICEIRA AMORIM are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements presented for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

The standards and interpretations that became effective as of 1 January 2022 are as follows:

IFRS 16 (amendment), 'Leases – COVID-19 related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021'. This amendment extends the date of application of the IFRS 16 – 'Leases – COVID-19 related rent

concessions' amendment from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022. allowing to recognise rent concessions related to COVID-19 as variable lease payments and not as a modification to the lease. The conditions of application of the practical expedient remain, and the extension of the practical expedient can only be applied by the lessees who applied the previous practical expedient.

  • IAS 16 (amendment), 'Proceeds before intended use'. This amendment changes the accounting treatment of the proceeds obtained from the sale of products that resulted from the production test phase of property, plant and equipment, prohibiting their deduction to the acquisition cost of assets. This amendment is applied retrospectively without restating comparatives
  • IAS 37 (amendment), 'Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract'. This amendment specifies that when assessing whether a contract is onerous or not, only expenses directly related to the performance of the contract, such as incremental costs related to direct labour and materials and the allocation of other expenses directly related to the allocation of depreciation expenses of tangible assets used to carry out the contract, can be considered. This amendment must be applied to contracts that, at the beginning of the first annual reporting period to which the amendment is applied, still include contractual obligations to be satisfied, without restating comparatives.
  • IFRS 3 (amendment), 'Reference to the Conceptual framework'. This amendment updates the references to the Conceptual Framework in the text of IFRS 3, without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. This amendment also clarifies the accounting treatment to be given to contingent liabilities and liabilities under IAS 37 and IFRIC 21, incurred separately versus within a business combination. This amendment is applied prospectively.
  • Annual Improvements 2018 2020. The 2018-2020 annual improvements impact: IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41. This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union.
  • IFRS 1, 'Subsidiary as first-time IFRS adopter'. This improvement clarifies that when the subsidiary chooses to measure its assets and liabilities at the amounts included in the parent's consolidated financial statements, the measurement of the accumulated translation differences for all foreign operations can be made by the amount that would be included in the consolidated financial statements, based on the parent's date of transition to IFRS;
  • IFRS 9, 'Derecognition of liabilities costs incurred to be included in the 10% variation test'. This improvement clarifies that in the scope of derecognition tests carried out on renegotiated liabilities, in determining the net value between fees paid and fees received, a borrower includes only the fees paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received, by either party on other's behalf;
  • IFRS 16, 'Leasing incentives'. This improvement refers to the amendment to Illustrative Example 13 that accompanies IFRS 16, to eliminate inconsistency in the accounting treatment of lease incentives, attributed by the lessor;
  • IAS 41, 'Taxation and measurement of fair value'. This improvement eliminates the requirement to exclude taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value of biological assets, ensuring consistency with the principles of IFRS 13 - 'Fair value.

These standards and amendments had no material impact on Corticeira Amorim's consolidated financial statements.

The standards (new and amended) published, the application of which is mandatory for economic periods beginning after January 1, 2023, already endorsed by the European Union, are as follows:

IAS 1 (amendment), 'Disclosure of accounting policies' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). Amendment to the requirement to disclose the accounting policies based on

"material" instead of "significant". The amendment specifies that an accounting policy information is expected to be material if, in its absence, the users of the financial statements would be unable to understand other material information in those same financial statements. Immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. The IFRS Practice Statement 2 was also amended to provide guidance for the application of the concept of material" to accounting policy disclosures.

  • IAS 8 (amendment), 'Disclosure of accounting estimates" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).This amendment introduces the definition of accounting estimate and the way it is distinct from changes to accounting policies. The accounting estimates are defined as corresponding to monetary amounts that are subject to measurement uncertainty, used to achieve an accounting policy's objective(s).
  • IFRS 17 (new), 'Insurance contracts' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). This new standard replaces IFRS 4 and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a general model "building block approach" or a simplified one "premium allocation approach". The "building block approach" is based on discounted, probabilityweighted cash flows, a risk adjustment and a contractual service margin ('CSM'), which represents the unearned profit of the contract. Subsequent changes in estimated cash flows are adjusted against the contractual service margin, unless it becomes negative. IFRS 17 is applied retrospectively.
  • IFRS 17 (amendment), 'Insurance contracts' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). This amendment includes specific changes in eight areas of IFRS 17, such as: i) scope; ii) level of aggregation of insurance contracts; iii) recognition; iv) measurement; v) modification and derecognition; vi) presentation of the Statement of Financial Position; vii) recognition and measurement of the Income statement; and viii) disclosures. This amendment also includes clarifications, which aim to simplify some of the requirements of this standard and ease transition. IFRS 17 is applied retrospectively. On the issue this amended the end date for applying IFRS 9 (temporary exemption or overlay approach) under the IFRS 4 standard, was extended to 1 January 2023, aligned with the effective date of IFRS 17.

No material impacts on Corticeira Amorim's consolidated financial statements are expected from the application of these standards and amendments.

The standards (new and amended) published, the application of which is mandatory for economic periods beginning after January 1, 2023, but which the European Union has not yet endorsed, are as follows:

  • IAS 1 (amendment), 'Presentation of financial statements classification of liabilities' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union since it is being subject to a new revision by the IASB. This amendment intends to clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current balances depending on the rights that an entity has to defer its payment, at the end of each reporting period. The classification of liabilities is not affected by the entity's expectations (the assessment should determine whether a right exists but should not consider whether or not the entity will exercise that right), or by events occurring after the reporting date, such as the non-compliance with a given "covenant". This amendment also introduces a new definition of "settlement" of a liability. This amendment is applied retrospectively.
  • IAS 12 (amendment), 'Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. IAS 12 will require entities to recognise deferred tax on specific transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. These applies to the recognition of: i) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and ii) decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities, and the corresponding amounts recognised

as part of the cost of the related asset, when not relevant for tax purposes. Such temporary differences are no longer subject to the initial recognition exemption for deferred taxes. The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendment is recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the earliest comparative period presented.

IFRS 17 (amendment), 'Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment relates only to insurers' transitioning to the IFRS 17 and allows the adoption of a classification overlay to a financial asset for which the entity does not restate IFRS 9 comparative information. This amendment seeks to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information presented, when applying IFRS 17 for the first time, providing for (i) the application on a financial assetby-financial asset basis; (ii) the presentation of comparative information as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial asset, but without requiring an entity to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9; and (iii) the obligation to use reasonable and supported information available at the transition date, to determine how the entity expects that financial asset to be classified in accordance with IFRS 9.

Corticeira Amorim is evaluating the impact resulting from these changes and will apply these standards in the year in which they become effective, or in advance when permitted.

3.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The activities of Corticeira Amorim are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and raw material price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

Market risk

As regards market risks, while impacted by the pandemic (exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and raw material price risk), they were not significantly impacted by the current context and maintaining the monitoring procedures reported on December 31, 2021. International market volatility requires thorough compliance with the already defined procedures in order to avoid the eventual impacts of adverse events.

Credit risk

The credit risk results essentially from the balances receivable from clients resulting from commercial transactions. In the context of the pandemic, credit risk management did not experience any significant alterations to the procedures adopted, having reinforced the collection measures already in effect. Corticeira Amorim is attentive to the question of collecting accounts receivable even though, in a universe of almost 30,000 clients around the world, the risks are significantly dispersed. The credit risk is naturally lower given the geographic scope of sales and a very high number of clients on every continent with no individual entity accounting for over 2% of total sales.

The client credit risk is evaluated by the Financial Departments of operating companies taking into account the track record of the commercial relationship, its financial position as well as other information that may be obtained through the business networks of Corticeira Amorim. The credit limits established are regularly subject to analysis and revised whenever necessary.

In general terms, no guarantees are requested from clients. Corticeira Amorim makes occasional recourse to credit insurance.

The credit risk also results from the available cash balances and derivative financial instruments. Corticeira Amorim undertakes prior analysis of the respective financial institution ratings in order to minimise the risks of non-compliance by counterparties.

The maximum amount of credit risk is that which results from the non-receipt of the totality of financial assets (June 2022: 415 million euros and December 2021: 341 million euros).

The amounts registered in the Cash and equivalents item by Corticeira Amorim are dispersed across over 100 subsidiaries. In terms of the quality of credit risk, associated with Cash and Equivalents, on June 30, 2022, Corticeira Amorim selects financial institutions with ratings that do not call into doubt the return of these assets. This thereby highlights how, out of the total of Cash and Equivalents (€97.9 million), around €29 million are deposited in a financial institution (private capital) with the following ratings: Moody's A3 / P-2; Fitch: BBB+ / F2; others €7M are deposited in a financial institution (private capital) with the following ratings: Moody's Baa2; Fitch: BBB+; and others €6M are deposited in a financial institution (public capital) with the following: Moody's Baa2 / P-2; Fitch: BBB / F3.

Liquidity risk

The Corticeira Amorim financial departments regularly analyse the provisional cash-flows in order to ensure there is sufficient liquidity for the group to meet its operational needs and, simultaneously, comply with the obligations assumed under the auspices of various lines of financing. Any amounts of surplus liquidity are invested in remunerated short term deposit accounts. Hence, this underpins the necessary flexibility for running the business.

The coverage of liquidity risks essentially stems from the existence of an immediately available series of credit lines and commercial bond issues, and, eventually, by the existence of bank account deposits. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Corticeira Amorim strengthened the aforementioned lines and issues that were formerly available and contracted new sources of financing. Thus, Corticeira Amorim closed the six months with unused credit lines and commercial bond issue programs totalling €238.6 million (on December 31, 2021, the comparative amount stood at €206 million). When combined with Cash and Equivalents, the Liquidity Reserve at the end of the aforementioned period amounted to €336.5 million (€315.8 million on December 31, 2021).

Capital risk

The fundamental objective of the Board is to ensure the continuity of operations, providing an appropriate level of remuneration to Shareholders and the corresponding benefits to the remaining Stakeholders in Corticeira Amorim. To achieve this objective, the careful management of the capital deployed in the business is fundamental alongside ensuring an optimal capital structure that thereby brings about a reduction in capital costs. Corticeira Amorim is a solid business endowed with an appropriate and balanced capital structure, responsible for its core activity of underpinning the sustainability of the entire cork sector. Without the stoppers produced by Corticeira Amorim, thousands of wine-makers and bottlers would not be able to operate across the most varied geographies.

Within the framework of maintaining or adjusting the capital structure deemed most appropriate, the Board may propose to the General Shareholder Assembly the measures considered necessary and that may involve adjustments to the pay-out regarding the dividends payable, transactions in the company's shares, raising equity capital through issuing shares and selling assets, among other measures. The indicator applied to monitor the capital structure is the Financial Autonomy ratio. The Board has established as its target a level of Financial Autonomy of no less than 40% taking into account the characteristics of the company and its respective sector of activity. Financial Autonomy reported the following trend:

The Group measures part of its financial assets and liabilities by their fair value on the reference date for the financial reporting. The derivative financial instruments acquired by Corticeira Amorim are not market traded and have no listing (derivatives negotiated over the counter).

Furthermore, the accountancy norms establish a hierarchy of fair value that classifies the data across the three levels incorporated into the measurement techniques for the fair value of financial assets and liabilities:

Level 1 Data – listed prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Data – distinct data on the listed prices that are observable for the asset or liability, directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Data – non-observable data relating to the asset or liability. During the financial year, there were no transfers among the aforementioned levels.

The value of the derivative financial instruments recognised in the report on the Corticeira Amorim financial position, dated June 30, 2022, amounts to 180 K€ in the assets (December 20, 2021: 1 154 K€) and 2 305 K€ in liabilities on June 30, 2022 (December 20, 2021: 1 126 K€), as stated in notes 16 and 22.

Corticeira Amorim makes recourse to outright forwards and options for exchange rate risk coverage as is detailed below. The evaluation of exchange rate risk hedging instruments involved valuation techniques that apply observable inputs (Level 2). The fair value is calculated through a model owned by Corticeira Amorim and developed by Reuters that adopts the updated cash-flow method for the outright forwards while applying the Black & Scholes calculation model to options contracts.

The only level 3 financial liability derives from the agreement to acquire an additional holding in subsidiaries, with the terms describe in note 21.

The main inputs deployed in valuation are: forward exchange rate curve and currency volatility estimates.

Currency operations contracted with credit institutions

On 30 June 2022, there were options and outright forwards contracts relating to the currencies used by CORTICEIRA AMORIM transactions.

It is foreseeable that such transactions in foreign currencies are very likely to happen, which were therefore subject to exchange rate risk coverage, and taking place during the second half of 2022. The amount recognised in the "under Adjustment of Accountancy Coverage" will be recognised in the financial results for the same period.

The amount recognised in integral earnings related to variations in the fair value of efficient cash flow coverage was -832 K€ (1H21: €-569 K€).

4.CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Group's management to make judgments and estimates that affect the statement of financial position and the reported results. These estimates are based on the best information and knowledge about past and/or present events and on the operations that the Company considers it may implement in the future. However, at the date of completion of such operations, their results may differ from these estimates.

Changes to these estimates that occur after the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements will be corrected in the income statement in a prospective manner, in accordance with IAS 8 - "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors".

The estimates and assumptions that imply a greater risk of giving rise to a material adjustment in assets and liabilities are described below:

- Entities included in the consolidation perimeter

To determine the entities to be included in the consolidation perimeter, the Group assesses the extent to which it is exposed, or has rights, to variability in return from its involvement with that entity and can take possession of them through the power it holds over this entity.

The decision that an entity must be consolidated by the Group requires the use of judgment, estimates, and assumptions to determine the extent to which the Group is exposed to return variability and the ability to take possession of them through its power.

Other assumptions and estimates could lead to the Group's consolidation perimeter being different, with direct impact on the consolidated financial statements.

- Impairment of non-current assets, excluding goodwill

The determination of a possible impairment loss can be triggered by the occurrence of various events, such as the availability of future financing, the cost of capital or other market, economic and legal changes or changes with an adverse effect on the technological environment, many of which are beyond the Group's control. The identification and assessment of impairment indicators, the estimation of future cash flows, and the calculation of the recoverable value of assets involve a high degree of judgment by the Board.

- Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is annually subjected to impairment tests or whenever there are indications of a possible loss of value in accordance with the criteria described in Note 2 b). The recoverable values of the cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated are determined based on the calculation of current use values. These calculations require the use of estimates by management.

- Intangible and tangible assets

The life of an asset is the period during which the Company expects that an asset will be available for use and this should be reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. The determination of the useful lives of assets, the amortisation/depreciation method to be applied, and the estimated losses resulting from the replacement of equipment before the end of its useful life due to technological obsolescence is crucial in determining the amount of amortisation/depreciation to be recognised in the consolidated income statement each period.

These three parameters are defined using management's best estimates for the assets and businesses concerned, and taking account of the practices adopted by companies in the sectors in which the Group operates.

- Provisions

The Group periodically reviews any obligations arising from past events, which should be recognised or disclosed. The subjectivity involved in determining the probability and amount of internal resources required to meet obligations may give rise to significant adjustments, either due to changes in the assumptions made, or due to the future recognition of provisions previously disclosed as contingent liabilities.

- Deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only when there is strong assurance that there will be future taxable income available to use the temporary differences or when there are deferred tax liabilities whose reversal is expected in the same period in which the deferred tax assets are reversed. The assessment of deferred income tax assets is undertaken by management at the end of each period taking account of the expected future performance of the Group.

- Expected credit loss

The credit risk on the balances of accounts receivable is assessed at each reporting date, through the use of a collection matrix, which is based on the history of past collections adjusted for the future expectation of evolution of collections, to determine the non-receipt rate. Expected credit losses on accounts receivable are adjusted by the evaluation made, which may differ from the actual risk incurred in the future.

- Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

When the fair value of a financial asset or liability is calculated, on an active market, the respective market price is used. When there is no active market, which is the case with some of Corticeira Amorim financial assets and liabilities, valuation techniques generally accepted in the market, based on market assumptions, are used.

The Group applies evaluation techniques for unlisted financial instruments, such as derivatives, financial instruments at fair value and instruments measured at amortised cost. The most frequently used valorisation models are models of discounted cash flows and option models, which incorporate, for example, interest rate and market volatility curves.

For certain types of more complex derivatives, more advanced valuation models are used containing assumptions and data that are not directly observable in the market, for which the Group uses the proprietary model specified in Note 3.

- Revenue - return rights / quantity discounts

Some contracts give the customer the right to return goods and volume rebates. The right of return and volume discounts give rise to variable remuneration. When estimating the variable consideration, Corticeira Amorim determined that the use of a combination of the most probable quantity method and the value method expected is most appropriate. Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, Corticeira Amorim considers whether the amount of the variable consideration is restricted. Corticeira Amorim determined that the variable compensation estimates are not limited based on their historical experience, forecast of business and economic conditions. In addition, uncertainty over variable consideration will be resolved in a short period of time.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, S.A. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - FIRST HALF 2022

  • (a) Equity method consolidation.
  • (b) CORTICEIRA AMORIM directly or indirectly controls the relevant activities line-by-line consolidation method.
  • (c) Company acquired in 2022
  • (d) Company set-up in 2022
  • (e) Increased interest percentage

The percentages indicated are the percentages of interests and not of control.

For entities consolidated by the full consolidation method, the percentage of voting rights held by "Non-Controlling Interests" is equal to the percentage of share capital held.

Acquisition of the SACI group

As communicated to the market authorities on January 11, 2022, Corticeira Amorim, through its subsidiary Amorim Cork, SGPS, S.A. reached agreement over the acquisition of 50% of the share capital of SACI S.r.l. ("SACI Group"), headquartered in Ivrea (near Turin) for the amount of €48.7 million. The SACI group was held, in equal shares, by the Getto (Italy) and Perlich (Germany) families. Made up of 17 companies acting in different sectors, the main SACI group activity involves the production and commercialisation of muselets, counting on a team of around 340 staff and a presence in over 30 countries.

Corticeira Amorim considers that it controls the Saci Group in keeping with its holding of 50% of the voting rights. This evaluation derives from Corticeira Amorim deploying the responsibilities attributed that enable the management of the relevant activities of the Saci Group. These activities include, among others, the supply chain, the distribution networks and management reporting. This capacity to manage key activities extends to setting the operating and capital budgets and the nomination of managers and major service providers.

The group opted to measure the interests that it does not control by the respective stake held in the assets and liabilities thereby acquired.

These companies were incorporated into the consolidated perimeter on January 1, 2022.

Assets and liabilities of the acquired group

The fair values of the assets and liabilities identified within the scope of this transaction are shown in the table below:

thousand euros
fair value recognized on the acquisition date
Tangible assets 25,7
Intangible assets 0,6
Other financial assets 8,7
Other Assets 3,0
Inventories 28,8
Trade Receivables 28,0
Cash and equivalents 16,9
Total Assets 111,7
Non-controlling interest 6,3
Interest bearing debt 8,4
Trade payables 14,9
Other liabilities 5,4
Income tax 1,2
Total Liabilities 36,2
Net Assets 75,6
50% of identifiable net assets 37,8
Goodwill 11,0
Non-controlling Interest at the
acquisition date
37,8

On closing the accounts on June 30, 2022, there were no significant differences identified between the fair value of the assets and liabilities and their respective accountancy values. The differences registered were concentrated into the fair value of the financial assets, the fair value of the assets of the Schneider subsidiary and a provision registered in the accounts of the San Bernardo subsidiary. The final analysis of the fair value of the assets and liability will be completed twelve months after the date of acquisition. The goodwill presented, with a value of €11.0 million, represents the remaining value it was possible to identify in the acquired entity and corresponds to the synergies complementary to the activities of Corticeira Amorim. It is not foreseeable that the goodwill recognised in the accounts becomes deductible for fiscal purposes.

It should be noted that of the €37.8M in non-controlling interests on the acquisition date, add €6.3M relating to interests that do not control the consolidated SACI Group.

The contribution of the Saci group to the results of Corticeira Amorim was the following: sale: €57.1 million, EBITDA: €10.6 million and EBIT: €8.2 million.

Acquisition of the remaining 50% of Cold River's Homestead, S.A.

On June 24, 2021, Corticeira Amorim, through its holding Amorim Florestal II, S.A., reached agreement with Banco Comercial Português for the acquisition of 50% of the company Cold River´s Homestead, SA, which holds a set of assets (moveable and immovable assets) attributed to agro-forestry operations, which includes a section (3,300 hectares) of that known as Herdade do Rio Frio, located in the district of Setúbal, for the total amount of 14.5 million euros.

On June 15, 2022, Corticeira Amorim, through its holding Amorim Florestal II, S.A., acquired the 50% stake in the company Cold River´s Homestead, S.A. owned by Parvalorem, S.A.. In the wake of this acquisition, for a total amount of 14.6 million euros, Corticeira Amorim took over complete ownership of Cold River's Homestead, S.A.

This began to be consolidated according to the integral method as from June 30, 2022.

Assets and liabilities of the acquired company

On closing the accounts on June 30, 2022, there were so significant differences identified between the fair value of the assets and liabilities and their respective accountancy value. The fair values of the assets and liabilities identified within the scope of this transaction essentially include the Herdade do Rio Frio property. Hence, the value of the transactions was attributed to the tangible assets acquired and not thereby resulting either in any goodwill or any negative goodwill. The final analysis of fair value of the assets and liabilities will be completed after a period of 12 months as from the date of acquisition.

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU.

EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, non-controlling interests, income tax and non-recurrent results.

Provisions and asset impairments were considered the only relevant non-cash material cost.

The decision to report EBITDA figures allows a better comparison of the different BU performances, disregarding the different financial situations of each BU. This is also coherent with the existing Corporate Departments, as the Financial Department is responsible for the bank negotiations, being the tax function the responsibility of the Holding Company.

Cork Stoppers BU main product is the different types of existing cork stoppers. The main markets are the bottling countries, from the traditional ones like France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal, to the new markets like USA, Australia, Chile, South Africa and Argentina.

Raw Materials BU is, by far, the most integrated in the production cycle of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, with 90% of its sales to others BU, specially to Cork Stoppers BU. Main products are bark and discs.

The remaining Business Units produce and sell a wide range of products that use the raw material left over from the production of stoppers, as well as the cork raw material that is not susceptible to be used in the production

As referred to in b) in Note 2 of the annual report, impairment tests are performed annually. For the tests are projected cash-flows, based on the budget and plans ratified by management. The growth assumptions take into account the expected growth of the wine, champagne and sparkling wine market, as well as the evolution of the market share of the subsidiaries in this business.

In the tests, operating cash-flow growth rates of 10% were used for the period 2022-2024 and 1.4% for the following years in Bourrassé and Elfverson, respectively. The cash flows foreseen for 2022-2024 have been adjusted, relative to the original business plan, to adapt to current market conditions in which the recovery outlook is slower compared to the initial assumption. The discount rate used was 6.98%. In the case of Elfverson, taking into account the arrangements made by the administration, the impairment test was based on fair value less cost to sell. In the test, the same EBITDA multiple was applied in the acquisition of Elfverson. Considering the performance of the first half of 2022, it is concluded not be necessary to amend previously approved plans and impairment tests.

The amount of 5,269 K€, referred as Investment Property (December 31, 2021: 5,311 K€), is due, mainly, to land and buildings that are not used in production.

The fair value of the Investment Properties in the case of the land and building in Corroios (determined on the basis of an independent valuation) is close to the value recorded in the accounts. This item also includes a property (Interchampagne with a value of 1,280 K€) with a recent valuation that corresponds to the book value. At the end of June 30, 2022, management made an analysis of these valuations and considered that they remained up to date.

These properties are not generating income and conservation and repair costs are insignificant.

13. DEFERRED TAX / INCOME TAX

Deferred tax and income tax

The difference between the tax due for the current period and prior periods and the tax already paid or to be paid of these periods is booked as "deferred tax" in the consolidated income statement and amounts to 475 K€ (30/06/2021: -150 K€).

On the consolidated statement of financial position this effect, excluding tax contingencies, amounts to 13,347 K€ (31/12/2021: 12,131 K€) as asset, and to 49,798 K€ (31/12/2021: 51,041 K€) as liability.

Deferred tax related with items directly registered in equity was 144 K€ (credit balance) and relates to hedge accounting. No other deferred tax values related with other equity movements were booked.

It is conviction of the Board that, according to its business plan, the amounts registered in deferred tax assets will be recovered as for the tax carry forward losses.

In 2013, Corticeira Amorim made the payment instituted by DL 151-A / 2013 (RERD) in the amount of 4.3 M€, a payment that does not imply the abandonment by Corticeira Amorim of defending the respective processes. In 2016, a final decision was made on one of the paid processes relating to stamp taxes, which was partially won by Corticeira Amorim, which received 1.2 M€ of the amount paid of 1.7 M€. In 2019, the final decision of another process was won by Corticeira Amorim, which implied the receipt of 0.5 M€. In this way, the amount that remains open for ongoing proceedings paid under the RERD is 2.1 M€.

At the end of 2016, a special Plan for the Reduction of Indebtedness to the State (PERES) was approved by Decree-Law no. CORTICEIRA AMORIM decided to partially adhere to that measure. In December 2016, approximately 7.4 M€ were paid in respect of Stamp Tax / VAT (2 M€) and Income Tax (IRC) in the amount of 5.4 M€. Of the amount paid, less than 100 K€ was received due to lawsuits won by Corticeira Amorim. The remaining payments remain open.

To be noted that CORTICEIRA AMORIM was not a debtor to the social security and to the tax authority. Those amounts were subject to court litigation. The disputs that were chosen to adhere are old cases whose values of interest on late payments and fines to be paid, in case of loosing, would be high.

RERD and PERES allowed for the payment of the capital without any payment regarding late payment interests and other costs. Due to the fact that adhesion to RERD and PERES does not imply a mandatory abandonment of the court cases and those processes are still in court, CORTICEIRA AMORIM will continue to fight for its rights.

The liability amount under this caption includes the estimate of the income tax payable under the Special Regime for Taxation of Groups of Companies and by some foreign subsidiaries.

Provisions for tax contingencies

In the year ended June 30, 2021, contingencies to deferred taxes with the item ending with 42.4 million euros. During the year, the provisions in the Balance Sheet decreased by 1.2 M€. This variation is essentially due to the receipt of final declarations from SIFIDE 2019 and the calculation for the purposes of estimating SIFIDE 2020.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM's claims are pending, both in the judicial phase and in the non-contentious phase, and which may adversely affect CORTICEIRA AMORIM, refer to the financial years 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2003 to 2015.The most recent fiscal year analysed by Portuguese tax authorities was 2018.

These tax cases are basically related with questions like non-remunerated guarantees given between group companies, group loans (stamp tax), interest costs of holding companies (SGPS), and with the acceptance as tax costs of losses related with the closing of subsidiaries.

At the end of each year, an analysis of the tax cases is made. The procedural development of each case is important to decide new provisions, or reverse or reinforce existing provisions. Provisions correspond to situations that, for its procedural development or for doctrine and jurisprudence newly issued, indicate a probability of an unfavourable outcome for CORTICEIRA AMORIM and, if that happens, a cash outflow can be reasonably estimated. Note that during the year there were no developments worthy of note in the processes mentioned above.

The value of tax processes to date for the June 30, 2022 accounts amounted to 8.3 M€, being fully provisioned.

In addition to the tax provisions referred to above, CORTICEIRA AMORIM has recorded a provision to cover the tax benefits to apply for 2021 and applied in previous years. The certification requirement by ANI of SIFIDE projects, the requirement for maintenance of jobs over five years in RFAI projects as well as other constraints to the realization of benefits, has led CORTICEIRA AMORIM to record provisions in order to take account of future breaches of such requirements. It should be noted that the determination of the tax benefits can not be concluded, since its constraints extend over several years, in particular as regards the maintenance of jobs.

There are no tax proceedings that have not been provisioned, thus, contingent liabilities are zero.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM has a large number of other favourable processes. They refer, in essence, to payments related with autonomous taxation, inspection fees and tax benefits. The value of these processes amounts to 0.8 M€, which is not recorded as part of its assets. Total contingent assets amounts to 10.3 M€ (including amounts paid under the RERD and PERES).

Interest-bearing loans - non-current 119 964 87 573 86 889

From non-current and current interest bearing debt, 87.0 M€ carries floating interest rates. Remaining 82.1 M€ carries fixed interest rate. Average cost, during 1H22, for all the credit utilized was 1.02% (2021: 0.89%).

On March 5, 2015, Corticeira Amorim entered into a loan agreement with the EIB in the amount of 35 M €, ten years, with a four-year grace period. This loan allowed Corticeira Amorim to expand substantially its maturity curve at a competitive price.

On 3 December 2020, Corticeira Amorim launched its first Green Bond issue, in the amount of € 40 M, by private subscription, without guarantees and for a period of 5 years, earning interest at a fixed rate every six months and with staggered repayment (25% at the end of the 4th year and 75% at maturity). This issue was an important milestone in its sustainability strategy, reaffirming its ongoing commitment to the application of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance).

On August 3, 2021, Corticeira Amorim reformulated a 20 M€ commercial paper emissions program, transforming it into Sustainability Linked through the introduction of two KPIs: (i) renewable energy consumption and (ii) valued non-cork waste; influence the interest rate on emissions if the respective levels set as an objective are not met. This program will expire on August 3, 2024.

Corticeira Amorim 3rd ESG operation – a €11.6 M€ green commercial paper emissions program – was implemented on December 17, 2021 and will expire on December 22, 2026, intended to finance investment in photovoltaic panels by a group of companies from Corticeira Amorim various Business Units.

As of June 30, 2022, CORTICEIRA AMORIM had credit lines with contractual clauses that include covenants generally used in these type of contracts, namely: cross-default, pari-passu and in some cases negative pledge.

On that same date, a foreign subsidiary of Corticeira Amorim had a value of about 251 K€ of exposure covered by fixed asset mortgage guarantee. This asset is recorded in the statement of the financial position of that subsidiary.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM uses two credit lines on June 30, 2022 (for a total of 52 M€) with associated financial covenants. These included ratios accomplishment that allowed for an accompaniment of the financial position of the company, namely:

  • assets coverage ratio;
  • fixed charge coverage ratio;
  • net income; e

  • Net debt/ EBITDA

The above ratios are not restrictive and the requirements contained in the contracts that formalized the referred financing were largely and fully complied with. In the event of non-compliance, there would be a possibility that this would lead to the early repayment of the debts.

In addition, it is important to inform that the capacity to ensure debt service was further enhanced by the existence, as of June 30, 2022, of 238.6 million euros of credit lines approved, but not used.

The agreement to acquire non-controlling interests results from the purchase of S.A.S. ETS CHRISTIAN BOURRASSÉ, in which 60% of the share capital was first acquired, for the amount of 29 million euros. The agreement provides for the subsequent acquisition by 2022 of the remaining 40% ("agreement for acquisition of non-controlling interests") at a price which, based on the value already paid for the first 60%, will also depend on the evolution of BOURRASSÉ's performance in next years. The first tranche of 10% was acquired during the month of July 2019, in July 2020 the second tranche, and in June 2021 the third tranche. In July 2022 was acquired the four and last tranche corresponding to +10% of Bourrassé. The amount recognised in other financial liabilities corresponds to the remaining amount to be paid for the missing 10%, discounted at the average financing rate of Corticeira Amorim. The changes in present value are recognised in financial expenses and financial income. The increase of 1 p.p. of the financing rate would have an immaterial effect on the liability recognised. Other creditors include the payment of the remaining amount (23 million euros) related to the acquisition of 50% of the SACI Group. This amount was paid in early July.

Corticeira Amorim understands that the fair value of the classes of financial instruments presented does not differ significantly from its book value, taking into account the contractual conditions of each of these financial instruments.

Current assets and liabilities, given their short-term nature, have an accounting value similar to fair value

Non-current net debt is mostly payable at a variable rate. The only fixed-rate was contracted during the year 2015. As there were no significant changes in the reference interest rates, the rate does not differ substantially

55

from the current market conditions, and therefore the fair value does not differ significantly from the value Accounting. The remaining fixed -rate non -current debt corresponds to the Green Bonds.

In the case of Other financial liabilities (mainly grants with no interest bearing measured at fair value at initial recognition), given the initial adjustment differential for recognising in income, maturities and current interest rate levels, difference between book value and fair value is not significant.

d) Reconciliation of Alternative Performance Measures

According to the guidelines of the ESMA (European Sales and Marketing Association) of October 2015 on Alternative Performance Measures (APM), Corticeira Amorim presents below a table to reconcile APMs that are not directly readable in the primary financial statements.

Limited Review Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

Introduction

We have performed a limited review on the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Corticeira Amorim, S.G.P.S., S.A. (the Group), which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2022 (showing a total of 1.283.853 thousand euros and a total equity of 705.026 thousand euros, including a net profit attributable to equity holders of the Group of 47.564 thousand euros), the Consolidated Statement of Income by Nature, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months period then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Management responsibilities

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, for the purpose of interim financial reporting (IAS 34), and for the design and maintenance of an appropriate internal control system to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and other technical and ethical standards and guidelines as issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors. These standards require that our work is performed in order to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, for the purpose of interim financial reporting (IAS 34).

A limited review of financial statements is a limited assurance engagement. The procedures performed consisted primarily of making inquiries and performing analytical procedures, and evaluating the evidence obtained.

The procedures performed in a limited review are substantially less in scope than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards of Audit (ISA). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Corticeira Amorim, S.G.P.S., S.A. as at 30 June 2022, have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, for the purpose of interim financial reporting (IAS 34).
