MANAGEMENT REPORT
Sonae Industria's first half 2020 results have been significantly affected by the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic with activity levels being particularly hit in the last weeks of March and during the months of April and May. In June we have seen a significant recovery in activity levels across all our businesses as the economies were reopened and customer demand increased. This is clearly encouraging although it is, at this stage, still very hard to foresee how the rest of the year will play out for our main customer segments.
Importantly I would like to report that the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases within our people is still quite low with 17 confirmed cases until today (of which 15 already recovered) and the work done by our teams in the implementation of precautionary health and safety measures at all our offices and industrial sites since the beginning of the health crisis was clearly important.
The impacts of the pandemic on our activity levels in 1H20 measured by Proportional Turnover, implied a 21% decrease versusthe levels generated in 1H19. LTM Proportional Recurrent EBITDA reached circa 52.0 million euros and the Proportional Senior Debt stood at 314 million euros at the end of June. Sonae Arauco results were particularly affected by the pandemic and its Recurrent EBITDA decreased considerably in the second quarter. In contrast, in the second quarter our fully owned businesses were able to fundamentally sustain the Recurrent EBITDA level registered in the previous quarter.
The profound and wide ranging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on activity levels and on profitability, was the main reason for Sonae Indústria registering a net loss of 7.2 million euros in the first six months.
The reduction in turnover levels at Sonae Indústria and Sonae Arauco has been the single most significant effect of the pandemic. The extraordinary measures imposed by the governments to contain the propagation of Covid-19 and to prevent even worse sanitary consequences, caused a sudden contraction of economic activity in the second quarter in most geographies where we operate. As a result, demand from our customers reduced significantly and our sales volumes were severely impacted as a consequence. In some cases our production facilities were temporarily closed either due to lockdown restrictions or to reduced order levels. The impacts on sales volumes were particularly significant in the months of April and May and particularly in the countries where more severe lockdown measures were implemented.
Our management teams have put into place wide ranging measures to offset the negative impacts from the much lower sales levels but given the rigid nature of some costs in our business sector, profitability was still materially affected, particularly in April and May. With the gradual reversal of the pandemic containment measures, demand and sales volumes picked up in June partially reversing the previously mentioned negative effects.
The most severe impacts have occurred in South Africa and Iberia.
At Sonae Arauco in South Africa and Spain the main impacts were due to the strict and prolonged lockdown measures imposed by the respective governments, but also by the strong economic contraction in Portugal partially explained by the collapse of its important tourism sector. As a result, sales volumes and Recurrent EBITDA in these regions were particularly depressed in April and May despite the measures taken at all levels to mitigate the negative impacts of the crisis. In Germany and in Northern Europe in general the activity slowdown was less severe and our operations were able to partially contain the effects in Recurrent EBITDA levels. As a result, in the second quarter of 2020 Sonae Arauco suffered a material reduction in its profitability and we are currently forecasting a slow recovery to the expected levels of profitability.
Notwithstanding the material impacts of the pandemic on our activity, we have continued with the implementation of three strategic investment projects which we had started before the crisis and which we believe are important for the future development of our businesses.
In Canada, in the second quarter of 2020 we successfully concluded a complete refurbishment of one of our two particleboard production lines, a project of significant complexity that is already allowing us to improve our offer and service level by producing first quality products with increased capacity and reliability.
Also in Canada our team made significant progress in the strategic investment in the new High Gloss and Perfect Matt lacquering plant in Lac Mégantic. We expect to conclude the investment in the 4Q20 further reinforcing our market leading decorative solutions offer to our customers in North America.
At Sonae Arauco I would like to highlight that already in July we have produced the first boards from our new particleboard continuous press in Beeskow with state of the art technology. With this investment Sonae Arauco replaces the last multiday light presses in its industrial portfolio, an important step in our goal of improving the competitive position and sustainability of Sonae Arauco business.
As a means of managing the effects of the Covid-19 crisis we are in close communication with our Banks to ensure sufficient liquidity over a 12 month horizon. We expect to keep complying with financial covenants in Canada and at Sonae Arauco, liquidity remains at an adequate level for our base scenarios. In relation to Sonae Indústria corporate debt in Europe, we are seeking to obtain required covenant waivers and to secure liquidity from banks and bondholders necessary due to the impacts of Covid-19 crisis on our results and cash flows principally resulting from restrictions on dividends from Canada and Sonae Arauco until such time as their ratios recover to levels that will permit distributions.
As for the outlook for Sonae Indústria in 2H 2020, this will be largely conditioned by the evolution of the pandemic and of its impacts on the economies and on customer demand for our products. Despite the recent improvement in activity levels there is still very high uncertainty as it is not possible to foresee how the health crisis will unfold over the next quarters and the social, political and economic challenges lying ahead are still very significant.
Our teams will keep working hard to mitigate the negative impacts of this crisis and to prepare the businesses for the future.
Paulo Azevedo Chairman, Sonae Indústria
Due to the fact that one of Sonae Indústria's main assets (its 50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) is accounted by the Equity method, this section 1.1. provides Proportional Indicators which consider the full results of our wholly owned businesses and the proportional consolidation of the 50% contribution from Sonae Arauco.
| 1H19 | 1H20 | |
|---|---|---|
| Proportional Turnover | 316 | 249 |
| Proportional Rec. EBITDA | 36 | 24 |
| Proportional Rec. EBITDA margin | 11.4% | 9.7% |
| LTM 1H19 | LTM 1H20 | |
| Proportional LTM Turnover | 611 | 539 |
| Proportional LTM Rec. EBITDA | 67 | 52 |
| Proportional LTM Rec. EBITDA margin | 11.0% | 9.6% |
| LEVERAGE | ||
| Proportional Senior Net Debt (excluding Subordinated Bonds) | 325 | 314 |
| Proportional Senior Leverage (Senior Net Debt / LTM Rec. EBITDA) | 4.8 x | 6.0 x |
| Proportional Total Net Debt | 325 | 364 |
| Proportional Total Leverage (Total Net Debt / LTM Rec. EBITDA) | 4.8 x | 7.0 x |
Proportional Turnover in 1H20 was significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in 2Q20, reaching a reduction of circa 66.9 million euros in the first half of the year when compared to 1H19. This evolution was mainly driven by a lower contribution from Sonae Arauco (-45.4 million euros), affected specially by a reduction in total sales volumes in all regions, but also from Sonae Indústria (-21.5 million euros), essentially due to our North American business with lower sales volumes.
Proportional Recurrent EBITDA in 1H20 reached 24.1 milion euros, circa 11.9 million euros lower than in 1H19, driven by a lower contribution from Sonae Arauco (-9.1 million euros) and our fully owned businesses (-2.7 million euros), both materially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly due to its effects in turnover levels with subsequent impacts on profitability.
In the first half of the year, Senior Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA (proportional) stood at 6.0x, which compares with 4.8x in 1H19. Proportional Senior Net Debt excludes Subordinated Bonds (50 million euros issued during 4Q19).
PROPORTIONAL TURNOVER BY DESTINATION MARKET
* Quarterly and half information unaudited.
Consolidated Turnover for the first half of the year reached 94.9 million euros, a reduction of 18.4% vs. same period of last year (-21.5 million euros), driven essentially by our North American business with lower sales volumes. The evolution of the consolidated turnover was clearly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak, with significant negative impacts in April (-44% vs. April 2019) and May (-34% vs. May 2019) but with a material recovery in June although still below the previous year level (-16% vs. June 2019). For the quarter, Consolidated turnover reached 40.6 million euros, which represents a decrease of circa 13.7 million and 19.0 million euros when compared 1Q20 and 2Q19, respectively, driven by the effects of the pandemic in both North American and Laminates & Componentes businesses.
Variable costs per cubic meter decreased both in local currency and in euros, when compared to the first half of 2019, due to a decrease in chemical, thermal energy and maintenance costs. For the quarter, variable costs per cubic meter also decreased when compared to 2Q19 and 1Q20.
Recurrent EBITDA for the first half of the year reached 10.3 million euros, a reduction of 2.7 million euros vs. the same period of last year, mainly explained by the already mentioned decrease in consolidated turnover, which is only partially offset by a reduction in variable and fixed costs. On a quarterly basis, Recurrent EBITDA for the 2Q20 stood at circa 5.0 million euros, a reduction of 3.3 million euros and 0.4 million euros, when compared to 2Q19 and 1Q20, respectively. The 2Q20 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached circa 12.3%, down by 1.6 p.p. vs. 2Q19, but up by 2.4 p.p. vs. 1Q20.
Consolidated EBITDA reached circa 10.3 million euros in the first half of the year, a reduction of 2.3 million euros vs. the same period of last year. On a quarterly basis, Consolidated EBITDA for the 2Q20 stood at 4.9 million euros, a reduction of circa 3.0 million euros and 0.4 million euros, when compared to 2Q19 and 1Q20, respectively. The evolution in Consolidated EBITDA is explained by the aforementioned performance of Recurrent EBITDA.
Total fixed costs represented circa 17.7% of turnover for 1H20, an increase of 0.7 p.p. vs. 1H19, due to the reduction of Turnover as Fixed Costs in 1H20 were circa 15% lower than in the same period of last year. It should be noted that the fixed costs in 2Q20 already include the positive impacts of layoff and short work schemes implemented aiming to partially offset the material reduction of turnover due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The number of employees of Sonae Indústria was 503 FTE's, at the end of June 2020, excluding Sonae Arauco and trainees, which compares with 513 and 503 FTE's at the end of March 2020 and June 2019, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization charges during 1H20 were 7.9 million euros, in line with the values booked for 1H19. For the quarter, the depreciation charges reached 3.9 million euros, a reduction of circa 0.1 million euros when compared to 2Q19 and 1Q20.
Provisions and impairment losses during 1H20 represent a charge of 0.6 million euros. Given the consistently negative results (EBITDA and Net Results) and negative free cash of our Components business over many years, and as no ways have been found for this business to generate positive results and cash flows, it was decided to
close this operation. As a result, a circa 0.4 million euros provision related to severance costs and a circa 0.2 million euros (full) impairment loss of the goodwill related with the financial investment in Movelpartes (company that owns the Components business) were booked in 2Q20.
Net financial charges during 1H20 were 5.7 million euros, in line with the values booked for 1H19. In the quarter net financial charges reached 2.5 million euros, a reduction of 0.3 million euros vs. 2Q19, mainly explained by a reduction of 0.2 million euros in net financial discounts due to lower activity levels and of 0.1 million euros in net interest and other charges. When compared to the previous quarter net financial charges decreased by circa 0.7 million euros, due to improvements in net exchange differences, net interest and other charges and net financial discounts.
Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results refers to 50% of the net results of Sonae Arauco in the period. For the first half of the year, this were negative of circa 2.8 million euros, which compares with positive Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results of 5.3 million euros in 1H19. The evolution of Sonae Arauco net results when compared to the same period of the previous year is essentially explained by 9.1 million euros lower Recurrent EBITDA (considering the 50% contribution) significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. On a quarterly basis, Gains and Losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results were negative of circa 3.4 million euros, which compares with a positive value of 1.9 million euros and 0.6 million euros in 2Q19 and 1Q20, respectively.
Current tax charges were circa 1.5 million euros for the first half of the year, a decrease of 0.8 million euros when compared to 1H19, related to our North American business. Deferred tax charges in 1H20 improved by circa 0.7 million euros when compared with 1H19, mainly explained by our North American business.
Net results in 1H20 were negative of 7.2 million euros, which compares with positive net results of circa 2.4 million euros in 1H19. For the quarter, the net results were negative of circa 6.0 million euros, a decrease of 7.2 million euros and 4.8 million euros vs. the 2Q19 and 1Q20, respectively. The evolution of the net results in 1H20, when compared to 1H19, and in the quarter, when compared to 2Q19 and 1Q20, is essentially explained by the aforementioned reduction in Recurrent EBITDA and in Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures - Net Results.

Tangible assets of 154.0 million euros at the end of June 2020, an increase of circa 9.7 million euros vs. March 2020, mainly due to our North American business, including the effect of the refurbishment of one of the two particleboard production lines and of the ongoing investment in a new High Gloss and Perfect Matt lacquering plant in Lac Mégantic.
Investments in Joint-Ventures (50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) reached circa 201.9 million euros, which represents a reduction of circa 3.3 million euros when compared to the book value of this investment at the end of 1Q20, essentially due to the effect of our share of Sonae Arauco's negative results of circa 3.4 million euros.
Consolidated Working Capital reached 13.4 million euros, a decrease of 2.3 million euros when compared to March 2020, explained by the decrease in trade debtors and inventories and the increase in trade creditors.

Additions to Gross Tangible Fixed Assets reached circa 14.4 million euros in the first half of the year, essentially explained by investments in our North American business (circa 14.2 million euros), including the ongoing investment in a new High Gloss and Perfect Matt lacquering plant in Lac Mégantic and the complete refurbishment of a particleboard production line.
As previously reported the health and safety of our people is a foremost concern and accordingly, since March, Sonae Indústria hasimplemented important measures to protect the health of our people at the workplace (plants and offices) under the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
To date, the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 within our workers since the beginning of the pandemic is very limited with a total of 17 confirmed cases (including Sonae Arauco) of which 15 already recovered. According to the investigations done we believe that the contaminations did not occur in our sites, which gives us comfort that the protection measures that have been implemented were effective. We will continue to focus on the health and safety of our people as the end of the sanitary crisis cannot be predicted, making individual and collective responsibility remain fundamental to contain the pandemic.
Since the second half of March and particularly in the second quarter of 2020 Sonae Indústria results were significantly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and by the related extraordinary containment measures imposed by the authorities in the several regions where Sonae Indústria conducts business (namely Europe, North America and South Africa).
It is important to note that during the second quarter the negative impacts on results were materially different month to month, with April being a very difficult month, followed by a small recovery in May and a strong improvement in June.
The intensity of the negative impacts of the pandemic in Sonae Indústria results differed by business and by region but there was a common denominator in its main driver which was the significant decrease in turnover levels.
The extraordinarily abrupt reduction in economic activity in most geographies where Sonae Indústria operates due to the pandemic (including Covid-19 related lockdown restrictions since late March and until May in general) caused a material reduction in demand from our customers which reduced significantly their orders severely impacting our sales volumes as a consequence. In some cases our production facilities were temporarily closed
either due to lockdown restrictions or to reduced order levels as previously reported ("Sonae Indústria Earnings Annoucement 1 st Quarter 2020 Results", specific section on Covid-19).
| April 2020/ | May 2020/ | June 2020/ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TURNOVER (as % of previous year) | April 2019 | May 2019 | June 2019 |
| Sonae Indústria (fully owned businesses) | 56% | 66% | 84% |
| Tafisa Canada | 57% | 63% | 84% |
| Laminates and Components | 52% | 100% | 92% |
| Sonae Arauco | 55% | 53% | 85% |
The impacts on sales volumes were particularly significant in the months of April and May and especially in the countries where more severe lockdown measures were implemented and where the impacts in economic activity were stronger such as in the case of Spain, South Africa and Portugal (with Sonae Arauco being present in all these geographies and accordingly being particularly affected).
With the gradual easing of the pandemic containment measures and despite the still depressed overall economic activity in all regions, demand and sales volumes picked up materially in June and there was a material improvement in the turnover levels of our two main businesses which allowed results to be closer to normalised values in this month (June Proportional Recurrent EBITDA reached 5.9 million euros i.e. circa 66% of the second quarter Proportional Recurrent EBITDA).
The reduction in turnover levels caused a material negative impact in the profitability of Sonae Indústria businesses given that some of the important items in its cost structure are either fixed, such as depreciation (material in a highly capital intensive industry), or at least not susceptible of being fully adjusted downwards when activity reduces, particularly in short periods of time such as some personnel and overhead expenses.
Until now other potential Covid-19 related concerns, such as disruptions on the supply of materials and services, shortages on workforce availability due to health and safety issues and problems with credit management and collection of trade receivables, did not have significant negative impacts in our operational performance and results. Although the pandemic also affected Sonae Indústria in these areas the impacts on the results have until now been limited and much smaller than the above described impacts on sales volumes. However it should be noted that the situation may change during the forthcoming months. As an example reductions in credit insurance coverage as a result of the pandemic have occurred but until now in general these have not translated into additional reductions of sales volumes (beyond those driven by the crisis itself) but as the sales volumes started to recover the new lower credit insurance limits may not be sufficient to cover in full all potential sales.
In order to offset as much as possible the negative effects of the pandemic, management teams have put into place important actions at different levels of all businesses including adjusting production levels (according to demand), costs (optimizing fixed costs) and investment plans in order to protect liquidity and safeguard the future. Whenever possible and adequate we also used the governments support measures that were created to partially offset the negative effects of the pandemic in the businesses.
Regarding the effects of Covid-19 on liquidity and financing, it should be noted that considering the refinancings concluded between December 2019 and March 2020, Sonae Indústria scheduled debt repayments in the second half of 2020 were reduced to approx. 6 million euros. Taking into consideration the significant impacts of Covid-19 on our businesses, close communication is being kept with bank creditors in different regions in order to seek their support as we go through the crisis and until now this has been achieved when needed. As at today financial covenants in existing financial agreements were either satisfied or remedied.
Available liquidity, calculated as the undrawn committed facilities plus cash and cash equivalents, at Sonae Indústria at the end of June 2020 totaled 55.5 million euros, of which 23.2 million euros in Canada.
Due to the extreme uncertainty, not only in respect of pandemic's intensity and duration but also on its impact in the economy, on demand for our products and on our operations, Sonae Indústria is unable to estimate future impacts on the company's results with any accuracy or assurance. The situation has been highly dynamic in the past months making any forecasting exercise to be very complex and speculative.
Notwithstanding the previous note, we acknowledge that the effects of the pandemic can still be significant over the next quarters particularly in the event of further significant virus outbreaks and of new lockdowns being imposed (until a solution for the health crisis is available) or simply because the economies fail to recover significantly and swiftly from the adverse economic consequences already caused by the pandemic namely on employment, available income and consumer and investor confidence levels, all with impact on the demand for durable goods which are important drivers of market demand for our products.
Despite the uncertainties created by Covid-19 crisis, the decisive measures already taken by management; the government support measures; and the recently gradual recovery experienced by our businesses particularly in turnover levels, set out a framework for Sonae Indústria to overcome the extreme challenges raised by the pandemic provided that corporate debt holders are supportive of measures necessary to achieve this.

The board of directors
SONAE INDÚSTRIA, SGPS, SA has its head-office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, 4470-177 Maia, Portugal.
The shares of the company are listed on Euronext Lisbon.
Consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 were not subject to a limited revision carried out by the company's statutory external auditor.
During the first half of 2020, the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is identified as the causing agent of COVID-19 disease, progressively spread around the world, therefore originating a pandemic situation. In order to contain it from further spreading, several countries set up severe lockdown measures for their citizens, which had significant recessive effects at economic level and negatively impacted the sales volumes of Sonae Indústria. In the second quarter of this year, several countries progressively eased social lockdown measures, which allowed a progressive recovery of economic activity.
The outlook is very uncertain as it is not possible to known how the epidemiological situation in affected countries, which comprise almost the entire world, will evolve,
and still there are no concrete prospects of pharmacological developments which may, in the short term, effectively prevent contagion and treat this disease.
In this context, at the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, Management assessed the Group's capacity to keep on as a going concern using all relevant information, facts and circumstances of financial, commercial or other nature, including subsequent events which were available at the reference date of these consolidated financial statements. Exposure to the current pandemic situation has been taken into account. This situation is beyond the control of the Group, is characterized by a very high degree of uncertainty and, if prolonged significantly over time, would materially impair the Group's ability to generate funds. The first half of this year presents two months (April and May) with a turnover clearly below the same months of the previous year (reduction over 40%, considering the values of the joint venture Sonae Arauco), but the month of June already presents a recovery to levels closer to those recorded before the pandemic emergence (reduction of around 15% compared to the same period in the previous year). As a result of the assessment carried out, Management concluded that the Group has adequate resources to keep its activities and there is no intention to cease activities in the short term, therefore considering adequate the preparation of these consolidated financial statements under a going concern basis.
This set of consolidated financial statement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that were disclosed on the notes to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2019.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. As such, they do not include all the information which should be included in annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2019.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), effective from 1 January 2020 and endorsed by the European Union.
3.2.1. In the period ended 30 June 2020, the following standards and interpretations, which had been endorsed by the European Union, became effective:
Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment contains changes to several standards, whose references to the Conceptual Framework have been updated.
IAS 1 and IAS 8 (amendment), Definition of Material (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). Under this amendment, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the user of financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (amendments), Interest rate benchmark reform (effective 1 January 2020);
IFRS 3 (amendment), Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment clarifies that to be considered a business combination, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs;
The application of these amendments to the standards from 1 January 2020 did not have significant effects on these consolidated financial statements.
3.2.2. At 30 June 2020, the following standards, effective 1 January 2020 or later, had been issued by IASB but still had not been endorsed by the European Union:
IAS 1 (amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment clarifies certain aspects of classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent, namely, that this classification should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, that it should not be affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its rights to defer settlement of a liability and it makes clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments and other assets or services;
IAS 16 (amendment), Tangible fixed assets (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. According to this amendment, the proceeds from the sale of products which are produced while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management should be recognized through profit or loss, along with the respective cost;
IAS 37 (amendment), Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment specifies that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract, whether these costs are incremental or allocated.
Annual improvements 2018 – 2020 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022). These improvements are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. These improvements affect IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 (illustrative examples) and IAS 41;
IFRS 3 (amendment), Business combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment changes references to 1989 Framework for references to 2018 Conceptual Framework. Furthermore, this amendment does not allow the recognition of contingent assets acquired in a business combination and clarifies that an entity should
use IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 to identify liabilities assumed in business combination that generally are within the scope of these two standards;
IFRS 16 (amendment), Leases (effective from 1 June 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment allows a lessee who has been granted some lease concessions to help face the effects arising from SARS-CoV 2 pandemic to treat these concessions as if they were not lease modifications;
IFRS 17 (new), Insurance contracts (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This standard will revoke IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts 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 complete "building block approach" or a simplified "premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application;
The Company does not estimate any significant effect to arise from the application of these standards.

The most significant judgements and estimations reflected or disclosed on these consolidated financial statements remain the ones which were set out on note 2.24 to the consolidated financial statements for the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2019. In the context of the situation described on note 2 and taking into consideration the scope of companies included in the perimeter of consolidation of Sonae Indústria and included in the perimeter of consolidation of its joint-venture Sonae Arauco, as at 30 June 2020 the Group is of the opinion that:
a) Useful lives of tangible fixed assets, intangible assets and investment properties:
The Group estimates that the useful lives of tangible fixed assets, intangible assets and investment properties did not significantly change as a consequence of the events described on note 2;
b) Impairment analysis of accounts receivable:
The events set out on note 2 had no significant negative effects on the settled amounts of accounts receivable;
c) Adjustments to assets, namely fair value adjustments and, relating to inventories, write-down to net realizable value:
There is a small number of assets and liabilities valued at fair value and their amounts are not significant. The context described on note 2 had no significant negative effects on the fair value of assets which follow this valuation criterion nor on net realizable value of inventories;
This calculation is carried out on a yearly basis. However, it is not expected that the context exposed on note 2 will have significant effects on the estimation of post-employment liabilities;
e) Calculation of provisions and impairment losses on tangible fixed assets and intangible assets:
The context described on note 2 is an indication of impairment which involves high levels of uncertainty, as described on h). As such, it is the Group's opinion that any impairment testing on its tangible fixed assets and intangible assets that may be carried out with reference to 30 June 2020 would assume a highly speculative nature. For this reason, additional visibility on the evolution of the pandemic situation is required to carry out a meaningful reassessment of impairment of this type of assets;
f) Calculation of income tax:
On the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2020, estimations of current income tax were recognized in accordance with IAS 34 and deferred tax were updated;
g) Quantification of contingencies:
The context described on note 2 did not significantly affect the quantification of amounts involved in the contingent events identified and disclosed on these notes;
h) Assessment of impairment indications:
The context described on note 2 represents an indication of impairment which involves extremely high levels of uncertainty as to the future evolution of the pandemic situation and related economic consequences, including the possible effects on the recoverable amounts of the Group's tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, investment properties and investment in joint-ventures.
Until the date of closing of these consolidated financial statements, risk management policies disclosed on note 2.27 to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2019 had not had any significant changes.
Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, their head offices and percentage of capital held by the Group as at 30 June 2020, 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2019 are as follows:

In the context of the pandemic situation described on note 2, the governments of several countries set up a package of measures to support companies, aiming to mitigate the negative economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. These measures differ across the countries where Sonae Indústria and its joint venture Sonae Arauco carry out their operations.
In several countries, these measures allowed government entities to reimburse the subsidiaries of Sonae Indústria and Sonae Arauco for a portion of staff expenses incurred with their employees. In these cases, subsidiaries recognized staff expenses incurred under Staff expenses, on the Consolidated Income Statement. The corresponding reimbursements granted by government entities were recognized under Other income and gains (Subventions from public entities), on the Consolidated Income Statement, and can be detailed as follows:
| Subsidiaries of Sonae Indústria |

| Amounts effectively reimbursed (paid) until 30 June 2020 | 2 045 476 | 487 971 |
* amounts recognized by the subsidiaries of Sonae Arauco under Other income and gains are reflected on the consolidated financial statements of Sonae Indústria using the equity method, for 50% of their amounts.
In some countries where the subsidiaries of Sonae Indústria and Sonae Arauco carry out their activity, government entities replaced companies to pay salaries. In these situations, the subsidiaries of Sonae Indústria and Sonae Arauco have not recognized the corresponding staff expenses nor have they recognized any income relating to this type of government support.

Former subsidiary Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH (formerly Glunz AG) and other German producers of wood-based panels are involved in certain litigation procedures filed by some customers for damages resulting from alleged breaches of competition law, after which former subsidiaries Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH (formerly Glunz AG) and GHP GmbH received, in March 2010, a statement of objections from the German Competition Authority. Some of these processes were resolved from 2015 to 2018 and their respective effects were recognized on the individual financial statements of each company and on the consolidated financial statements of the joint venture Sonae Arauco, S. A. (in which perimeter of consolidation these former subsidiaries are included) for the respective periods. As of the end of first half 2020, there were two processes still outstanding. One of which the complaint was submitted specifically to the former subsidiaries Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH e GHP GmbH with a maximum contingency (based on claimed values) of EUR 31.5 million. In the other pending case, these subsidiaries are jointly involved with other German producers and the maximum contingency (based on claimed values) amounted to EUR 26 million as at 30 June 2020. According to the opinion of these former subsidiaries' lawyers, at the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, it is not possible to reliably estimate the outcome of the proceedings in progress or the amount of any payments that may be established. Under the terms of the agreement for the subscription of Sonae Arauco, S. A. shares, entered into in 2015 by Sonae Arauco, S. A., Sonae Indústria SGPS S. A. and the Arauco Group, Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A. assumes the obligation to compensate Sonae Arauco, S. A. for any losses resulting from these proceedings.
Darbo SAS, a former subsidiary of Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S.A located in France, was sold on 3 July 2015 to a subsidiary of Gramax Capital and was excluded from the Group's consolidated financial statements on that date. This company's insolvency was requested at the Trade Court of Dax, in France, in September 2016, and was declared by that court to be liquidated, in October of that year.
Following that case, one hundred and ten former employees of Darbo filed various lawsuits with the Labour Court of Dax, in France, against, among others, Sonae Indústria, SGPS, SA and Gramax Capital, through which they claim compensation for alleged dismissal without fair reason, for a total amount of EUR 13 653 917.28. The same former employees also filed a lawsuit at the Civil Court of Dax against the seller and buyer companies and against Sonae Indústria, SGPS, SA, through
which they claim annulment of the sale of Darbo SAS and the payment of compensation for alleged damages suffered, in the same amount claimed before the Labour Court of Dax (EUR 13 653 917.28).
In relation to one hundred and five former employees of Darbo, in July 2019 the Labour Court of Dax judged that Sonae Indústria SGPS and two Gramax Capital companies have the joint and several obligation to pay compensation to those employees in a total amount of c. 3.6 million euros on the grounds of the existence of 'co-employment'. The court also ordered Sonae Indústria SGPS and two Gramax Capital companies to reimburse the French "Pôle Emploi" (unemployment insurance organisation) any amounts of compensations it could have paid to those employees. Sonae Indústria SGPS appealed such decisions considering there are no grounds for the co-employment thesis. In January 2020, the court, in relation to the lawsuit of five former employees of Darbo, handed down a sentence in the same direction and on the same grounds, with the amount of the sentence being around EUR 950 000. Sonae Indústria appealed this decision.
In 2018, the AEAT (Tax Authority in Spain) notified Sonae Arauco S.A. that it had commenced a tax inspection of the Spanish tax consolidated group. Subsequently, during the first half of 2020, Sonae Arauco S.A. received a notification from the Spanish tax authorities, indicating Corporate Income Tax due amounting to EUR 7 873 209. Sonae Arauco S.A disagrees with this assessment and decided to commence proceedings to challenge this notification in the courts. Based on an assessment made by Sonae Arauco,it is considered that there are well founded arguments to support a positive outcome of the appeal process. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to Sonae Arauco financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance 30 July 2020.
