Consolidated Financial Statement June 30, 2019
First half 2019 (1H19) (Audited) Second quarter 2019 (2Q19) (Non-audited)
Translation of consolidated financial statements originally issued in Portuguese. In case of discrepancy the Portuguese version prevails
Dear Shareholders,
In accordance with the law, CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., a public company, presents its:
Concerns relating to the longevity of the economic cycle, trade disputes and political instability persisted during the second quarter of 2019, affecting the confidence of economic agents, particularly financial market players. Protectionist measures implemented by a number of countries, most importantly the US, impacted international trade and are likely to have led to supply chain changes. The US recorded economic growth of 2.1% for the quarter, a slower rate of expansion than during the previous three months, but, nevertheless, stronger than expected. The Euro Zone registered quarterly growth of 0.2%, half the rate of the first three months. Following a stronger performance at the beginning of 2019, the downward growth trend that has prevailed since mid-2018 returned amid fears that the German economy may have contracted.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM lifted total sales to €412.2 million, representing growth of 3.1%. The price effect was largely responsible for the increase. The foreign exchange component (mainly the US dollar) also helped leverage sales growth. In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stopper (+4.7%), Composite Cork (+4.0%) and Insulation Cork (+15.6%) BUs made the most positive contributions.
EBITDA totalled €68.3 million, a reduction of 11.8% compared with the first half of 2018. The EBITDA-sales ratio also fell in comparison with the same period of the previous year (from 19.4% to 16.6%). In a context of greater pressure on the gross margin resulting from the increased price of raw material cork, the Group continued to implement measures to increase operating efficiency alongside rigorous cost controls and a reduction in impairments.
Adopting IFRS 16 – Leasing standards did not have a significant impact on Corticeira Amorim's financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, the main impacts were: a €0.8 million increase in EBITDA, a €0.8 million increase in depreciations and a €5.1 million increase in debt.
Net debt totalled €149.9 million at the end of the first half of 2019, compared with €139.0 million at the end of 2018. Excluding the effect of adopting IFRS 16, this debt would have totalled €144.8 million at the end of June. In spite of dividend payments, investments in tangible assets and working capital, the liquidity generated by business activities almost fully covered the Group's funding needs in the first six months of 2019.
After earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €40.4 million, a reduction of 2.1% compared with the €41.2 million recorded for the first six months of 2018.
In compliance with the decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting held on April 12, a dividend of €0.185 per share, totalling €24.6 million, was distributed on April 30.
The Raw Materials BU recorded sales of €106.9 million, an increase of 12% compared with the first half of 2018. This was mainly attributable to increased activity and higher prices. The BU's sales are mainly targeted at others companies within the Corticeira Amorim group.
EBITDA totalled €12.2 million, a reduction in comparison with the same period of the previous year (1H18: €18.5 million). Pressure on margins reflected the consumption of raw material cork acquired at higher prices as well as the lower yield of the cork consumed and increased operational costs.
Despite being affected by weather conditions, the 2019 cork purchasing campaign is progressing as expected, with an increase in the quantities available and a slight reduction in prices.
The BU's projects for increasing automation and improving sensorial quality are moving ahead according to plan.
The Cork Stopper BU recorded sales of €295.7 million, an increase of 4.7% compared with the first half of 2018.
Led by the US, Italy and Spain, sales growth in terms of geographical markets was balanced. In the French market, sales reflected the weak harvest of 2017, particularly in regard to Bordeaux wines. Sales of NDTech® services stoppers rose to 31 million units in the first half (1H18: 25 million units).
The BU's EBITDA rose to €55.7 million (+3.0% compared with the same period of 2018). The EBITDA margin remained stable at 18.8% (1H18: 19.1%). Increased raw material yields and efficiency gains practically offset increases in the price of raw material cork and in operational expenses, with the EBITDA margin decreasing only slightly.
The BU completed SAP (Systems, Applications and Products) implementation for its spirits and sparkling sector segment without any significant impact to business activities. SAP implementation for its still wine segment is planned for the third quarter of 2019.
First-half sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €53.4 million, up 4% on the same period of 2018. Sales growth was supported by the favourable EUR/USD exchange rate and market price increases.
In terms of segments, sales growth in the areas of resilient and engineering flooring manufacture as well as sport surfaces stood out, reflecting the BU's efforts to develop and launch new products. Sales decreased in the heavy construction, multi-purpose seals and gaskets and office products segments.
Sales growth to Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) remains the most notable aspect in regard to geographical markets. The BU maintains, and will continue to maintain, its principle focus on the circular economy, specifically the reuse and recycling of waste produced by other industries.
First-half EBITDA totalled €6.1 million, while the EBITDA margin rose to 11.5% (1H18: 10.4%) as a result of increased final product prices, improved cork grinding yields and the evolution of exchange rates.
Sales by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU fell 2.2% to €56.1 million. Sales trends to the US, Russian and Chinese markets remained negative, but were partially offset by increased sales to Scandinavia and Italy.
The BU's recorded a negative EBITDA of €2.1 million, reflecting spending related to the launch of the new line of WISE products (essentially development and marketing expenses). The BU's negative performance also reflects a need for additional efficiency measures. These are already being implemented, in areas such as logistics and industrial operations in order to reverse the trend observed during this period.
Key factors for reversing the downward trend in the BU's results include repositioning the brand, rationalising the product portfolio and measures for increasing productivity and operational efficiency.
Sales by the Insulation BU totalled €7 million, an increase of 15.6% compared with the first six months of 2018. Greater activity levels and price increases supported the increase. The increase in granulate sales was of particular note. In terms of geographical markets, increased sales in Europe (especially Italy and France) offset decreased sales in Asia.
EBITDA totalled -€0.4 million (1H18: €0.8 million). In spite of the increase in sales, the consumption of higher-priced raw materials, as well as increased impairments and compensation payments negatively impacted the BU's profitability.
The increase in sales resulted largely from increased prices and the evolution of exchange rates, increased sales volumes having only a residual impact. The change in the percentage gross margin over production (from 49.3% to 48.0%) reflects an increase in production costs mainly due to the increased cost of raw materials.
In terms of operating costs, the increase of about €3.7 million in staff costs (+5.2%) is largely due to an increase in the average number of employees, an increase needed to support the growth in business activity, as well as to the moving in-house of part of the purchases made on the secondary market. The costs of external supplies and services increased 3.3%. This reflects an increase in maintenance and repair costs, which was partially offset by a reduction in energy costs. The value recorded under impairments was close to zero.
The negative change in other operating income/expenses with an impact in EBITDA rose to about €1 million. The impact of exchange rate differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable, together with the respective foreign exchange hedging measures included under other operating income/gains was negative in the amount of approximately €0.2 million (H118: €0.3 million).
Due to the drop in profitability and the other changes previously referred to, EBITDA decreased by 11.8% to €68.3 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 16.6% (1H18: 19.4%).

First-half financial expenses reflect the updating of Bourrassé's financial liabilities. The effect was positive due to a revision of Bourrassé's 2019 earnings forecast. In spite of the higher level of interest rates costs due to an increase in average debt, the positive Bourrassé effect resulted in a decrease in financial expenses in comparison with the first half of 2018.
Income from associate companies totalled €4.4 million. The increase in relation to the same period of 2018 (1H18: €1.3 million) reflects the recognition as earnings of the final part of the contingent amount receivable from the sale of US Floors (€2.3 million) and an improvement in the contribution from Trescasses (€1.3 million).
In regard to taxation, the Group benefitted from the reversal of provisions, mainly resulting from the final inspection that allowed the use of tax losses at a Spanish subsidiary and the recognition of 2018 investment tax benefits, the value of which was only determined in 2019.
After income tax of €10.9 million and the allocation of profits to non-controlling interests, total net income attributable to CORTICEIRA AMORIM shareholders totalled €40.4 million, a decrease of 2.1% compared with the income of €41.2 million recorded for the first half of 2018.

Earnings per share were €0.303, compared with €0.310 for the same period of the previous year.
Total net assets at the end of June 2019 amounted to €1,017 million. Compared to December 2018 (€966 million) notable changes included customers (+€26 million due to increased activity) and other operating assets (+€27 million, mainly due to the on-going cork purchasing campaign). These were offset by a reduction in inventories (-€19 million).
The change in the second balance sheet item (equity and liabilities) reflects the recognition of net income for the period (+€40.4 million). This was offset by the dividends distributed (-€24.6 million) as well as by the increase in remunerated debt (+€13.4 million), tax on earnings (+€13.5 million) and other operating liabilities (+€7.3 million).
At the end of the first half of 2019, net interest-bearing debt totalled €149.9 million (12M18: €139.0 million). Excluding the impact of adopting IFRS 16, as mentioned above, net interest-bearing debt would have totalled €144.8 million. EBITDA generated by business activities was offset by capital investment and working capital requirements. Excluding any extraordinary factors, net interest-bearing debt is expected to decrease in the second half of 2019, mainly due to a reduction in cash flow needs related to working capital.
At the end of June 2019, the Group's shareholder equity totalled €516 million. The financial autonomy ratio stood at 50.8%.

The impact of using raw material cork acquired at higher prices is expected to continue during the second half of 2019. Increased product prices and improved operational efficiency are the main ways of mitigating this trend in order to ensure that profitability does not fall below the levels recorded for the first half.
To achieve the goal set out in the previous paragraph, it will be important to reverse the negative results recorded by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU and to that the exchange rates issue is not a constraining factor.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM is expected to maintain its level of business activity to leverage its growth.
Provided the Group's cork needs are met during the coming year, only a rapid deterioration of economic activity or a significant devaluation of the USD could adversely affect CORTICEIRA AMORIM's performance over the next six months.
During the first half of 2019, CORTICEIRA AMORIM did not acquire or dispose of any treasury shares.
As of June 30, 2019, CORTICEIRA AMORIM held no treasury shares.

At the beginning of 1991, Corticeira Amorim, S.A. was transformed into CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., the holding company for the cork business sector of the Amorim Group. 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.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM is mainly engaged in the acquisition and transformation of cork into a numerous set of cork and cork related products, which are distributed worldwide through its network of sales company.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM is a Portuguese company with a registered head office in Mozelos, Santa Maria da Feira. Its share capital amounts to 133 million euros, and is represented by 133 million shares, which are publicly traded in the Euronext Lisbon – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulamentados, S.A.
Amorim - Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S, S.A. held, as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, 67,830,000 shares of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, corresponding to 51.00% of the capital stock. CORTICEIRA AMORIM consolidates in Amorim – Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S., S.A., which is its controlling and Mother Company. Amorim – Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S., S.A. is owned by Amorim family.
These financial statements were approved in the Board Meeting of July 29, 2019. Shareholders have the capacity to modify these financial statements even after their release.
Except when mentioned, all monetary values are stated in thousand euros (Thousand euros = K euros = K€).
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 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, 2018, except for the adoption of the new standards whose application became effective on December 1, January 2019 and the application of IFRS 16 implied the changes referred to in the following paragraphs.
The Group's activity is exposed to a variety of financial risks inherent in its activity, and its monitoring and mitigation is carried out throughout the year. During the first six months of 2019, there were no material changes that could significantly affect the risk assessment to which the Group is exposed.
The standards and interpretations that became effective as of 1 January 2019 are as follows:
Material impacts on the consolidated financial statements of the group of the application of these standards and amendments are not estimated, except for IFRS 16.
IFRS 16 was issued in October 2017 and should be applied for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, being the early adoption permitted. This standard establishes the form of recognition, presentation and disclosure of leases, defining a single model of recognition.
The new standard will replace all current requirements, principles of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases prescribed in IFRS, particularly in IAS 17 - Leases and should be applied retrospectively, adopting one of the following methods:
i) complete retrospective application: it implies the restatement of all comparatives periods; or
ii) modified retrospective application: recognition of the cumulative effect, during the first period of application of the standard, as an adjustment to equity, and during the opening balance of the period when the standard is adopted.
A Corticeira Amorim adopted the new standard on the effective date requested (1 January 2019), using the full retrospective method.
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that transfers the right to use a good (the underlying asset), for a period, in exchange for a value.
At the beginning of each contract, an entity shall evaluate and identify whether it is or contains a lease. This evaluation involves an exercise of judgment on whether each contract depends on a specific asset, if the entity obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset and if the entity has the right to control the use of the asset.
In the case of contracts that constitute or contain a lease, entities shall account for each component of the lease contained in the contract as a lease, separately from the other components of the contract that are not leases, unless the entity applies the practical expedient foreseen in the scope of the standard. Corticeira Amorim has not adopted this practical expedient.
IFRS 16 establishes that lessees account for all leases based on a single on-balance model recognition, similarly to the treatment that IAS 17 establishes for financial leases.
The standard allows two exceptions to this model: (1) low value leases and (2) short term leases (with a lease term lower than 12 months). Corticeira Amorim adopted these exceptions.
At the start date of the lease, the lessee recognises the responsibility related to the lease payments (the lease liability) and the asset that represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease period (the right of use or "ROU").
Lessees will have to separately recognise the cost of interest on the lease liability and the depreciation of the ROU.
Tenants should also remeasure the lease liability according to the occurrence of certain events (such as a change in the lease period, a change in future payments that result from a change in the reference rate or the rate used to determine such payments). The lessee will recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment in the ROU.
The impact of adopting IFRS 16 is detailed as follows: recognition of assets and related liability of 5.1 M €; increase in depreciation and reduction of external supplies and services by 0.8 M €. Details of the impact of usage rights on January 1 and June 30 are presented in note VII. The main components of the right of use that have been recognized relate essentially to transport equipment and facilities.
At the date of approval of these financial statements, there are no standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, with mandatory application in future financial years
The following standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions, with mandatory application in future financial years have not yet been endorsed by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements:
IAS 1 e IAS 8 (amendment), "Definition of material" (effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020). The intent of amending the standard is to clarify the definition of material and to align the definition used in international financial reporting standards.
The Group has been evaluating the impact of these amendments. It will apply this standard once it becomes effective or when earlier application is permitted.
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:
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.
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.
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 II b) of the annual report of December 31, 2018. 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
When the fair value of an asset or liabilities 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 III of the annual report of December 31, 2018.
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 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 is organised in the following Business Units (BU): Raw Materials, Cork Stoppers, Floor and Wall Coverings, Composite Cork and Insulation Cork.
There are no differences between the measurement of profit and loss and assets and liabilities of the reportable segments, associated to differences in accounting policies or centrally allocated cost allocation policies or jointly used assets and liabilities.
For purposes of this Report, the Business approach was selected as the primary segment. This is consistent with the formal organization and evaluation of business. Business Units correspond to the operating segments of the company and the segment report is presented the same way they are analysed for management purposes by the board of CORTICEIRA AMORIM.
The following table shows the main indicators of the said units, and, whenever possible, the reconciliation with the consolidated indicators:

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU.
EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, equity method, non-controlling interests, income tax and non-recurrent results.
Provisions and asset impairments were considered the only relevant non-cash material cost.
Segments assets do not include DTA (deferred tax asset) and non-trade group balances.
Segments liabilities do not include DTL (deferred tax liabilities), bank loans and non-trade group balances.
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 85% of its sales to others BU, specially to Cork Stoppers BU. Main products are bark and discs.
The remaining BU produce and sell a vast number of cork products made from cork stoppers waste. Main products are cork floor tiles, cork rubber for the automotive industry and antivibratic systems, expanded agglomerates for insulation and acoustic purposes, technical agglomerates for civil construction and shoe industry, as well as granulates for agglomerated, technical and champagne cork stoppers.
Major markets for flooring and insulation products are in Europe and for composites products the USA. Major production sites are in Portugal, where most of the invested capital is located. Products are distributed in practically all major markets through a fully owned network of sales companies. About 70% of total consolidated sales are achieved through these companies.
Capex was concentrated in Portugal. Assets in foreign subsidiaries totalize 413 M€, and are mostly composed by inventories (142 M€), trade receivables (139 M€) and tangible fixed assets (68 M€).

As stated in point III, impairment tests are made each year. Cash flows were estimated, based on the budget and plans approved by management. The growth assumptions contemplated the expected growth in the wine, champagne and sparkling wine markets, as well as the evolution of the market share of the subsidiaries in this business. In those tests, growth rates of 4% and 15% were used in Bourrassé and Elfverson, respectively, for the period 2019-2021 and 2% for the following years were used. The discount rate used was 7.8%.
The results of the impairment tests show that the recoverable amounts are sufficiently higher than the accounting values, even in the case of unfavourable developments in the main variables. In the first six months of 2019, there were no circumstances which changed the conclusion of the tests performed in the end of 2018.

The amount of 5,413 K€, referred as Investment Property (December 2018: 5,481 K€), is due, mainly, to land and buildings that are not used in production.
The fair value of the Investment Property related to the lands and buildings of Corroios (determined on the basis of an independent evaluation) corresponds to the amount recorded in the accounts. This item also includes a property (Interchampagne with a value of 1,442 K€) with a recent valuation that corresponds to the book value. At the end of the year, the management made an analysis of these evaluations considering that they were kept up to date. The remaining Investment Property include a property with an accounting value of 914 K€ whose yield, updated to a market WACC, will correspond approximately to the amount by which they are recorded (cost model) in the financial statements.
These properties are not generating income and conservation and repair costs are insignificant.

| Provisions | 39,586 | 43,081 | 37,959 |
During the period, the provisions in the Balance Sheet reduced by 3.5 M€. The reduction in the provision for tax contingencies was 3.4 M€ and the provision for other events decreased by 0.1 M€.
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 2015.
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.
Claims by the tax authorities are related with income tax, stamp tax and marginally VAT.
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 reduction in provisions is mainly related to the conclusion of the inspection process of the Spanish subsidiary Amorim Florestal Mediterraneo, S.L., which validated the tax losses previously used in the amount of 2.7 M €. The remaining variation relates to the final calculation of tax benefits for the previous year.
The value of tax processes as at 30 June 2019 accounts amounted to 9.2 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 2018 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 and 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.
To note that, still open the provision due to uncertainty about the acceptance by tax authorities of the existence of tax losses in another Spanish subsidiary. The provision at the end of the period was 1.0 M€.
There are no tax proceedings that have not been provisioned, thus, contingent liabilities are zero.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM made in 2013 a payment established by Decree Law 151-A / 2013 (RERD) worth 4.3 M€. This payment does not imply the abandonment of CORTICEIRA AMORIM of the defense of its own interest in these processes. In 2016 the final decision of one of the lawsuits regarding stamp taxes was partially won by CORTICEIRA AMORIM, which received 1.2 M€ of the value paid of 1.7 M€. Accordingly, the amount remaining outstanding of ongoing proceedings paid under the RERD is 2.6 M€.
As already mentioned in 2016, an amount of 7.4 M€ was paid under PERES, which does not imply CORTICEIRA AMORIM's neglecting of the defense of its proceedings.
In addition to these processes, 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 1.5 M€, which is not recorded as part of its assets. Total contingent assets amounts to 11.7 M€.
It is considered correct the total value of 37.5 M€ of provisions related with contingencies regarding income tax and 2.1 M€ regarding other contingencies.
During its operating activities CORTICEIRA AMORIM issued in favour of third-parties guarantees amounting to 1,485 K€ (Dec. 2018: 2,094 K€).
