Dear Shareholders,

In accordance with the law, the Directors of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, SA, a Public Company, present their:

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION

In the second quarter of 2013 (2Q13), the European economy showed some signs, albeit faint, of recovery. In addition to the known economic weaknesses, the effects of a particularly harsh winter did not help causing a noticeable reversal in the indicators. In contrast, there was a contraction in the GDP growth rates of countries whose economies were performing reasonably early this year, particularly the USA and China.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM's business continued to reflect this difficult environment.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM's consolidated net sales in 2Q13 (+3.1%) continued its upward trend shown in 1Q13 (+1.7%). At the end of the first half of 2013 (1H13) consolidated net sales reached € 281.7 million (M), a 2.4% -increase compared to 1H12 (€ 275 M).

On a comparable basis, i.e. excluding the acquisition of the Trefinos Group, there was a decline in sales in line with what happened in 1Q13. The 2.4%-increase in sales benefited from a 5% rise as a result of the inclusion of Trefinos' assets and liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet and therefore, on a comparable basis, sales in 1H13 were down 2.6% compared to the same period last year (1Q13: -2.8%).

On a comparable basis, there are a number of reasons which justify the fall in sales. First of all - and similarly to what happened in 1Q13 – attention should be drawn to the decrease in sales of trade products (in a total of € 3.3 M) manufactured by the Floor and Wall Coverings Business Unit (BU). There was a drop in cork sales (which are already of a residual nature) from the Raw Materials BU to customers outside the value chain and, in addition to that, an adverse exchange rate effect in sales to the Australian (AUD), South African (ZAR) and the U.S. (USD) markets are explanatory reasons for almost all that sales drop.

In conclusion, on a comparable basis, it can be said that in 1H13 the sales of products manufactured by CORTICEIRA AMORIM were virtually identical to those recorded in the same period last year.

1H13 EBITDA was € 40 M, nearly a € 5 M-decrease compared to 1H12 (€ 44.8 M). The decrease in this indicator was closely linked to the sales effect and the adverse exchange rate effect in 1H13.

The global exchange rate fluctuation (exchange rate differences and gross margin differences) in 1H13 declined to € 2.8 M from the same period last year. Certain impairments and the restructuring costs of a subsidiary of the Cork Stoppers BU were not fully offset by the positive effects related to improved productive efficiency in the Raw Materials BU as well as the inclusion of Trefinos' assets and liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet.

Net profit for 1H13 was € 16,546 M, a 6.6%-decrease compared to 1H12 (€ 17,716 M).

Net profit for 2Q13 was € 11,252 M, about 5.9% less than in 2Q12 (€ 11,956 M).

A dividend of 10 cents per share was paid on April 30, 2013 to all shareholders, in a total dividend distribution of € 12.56 M.

2. BUSINESS UNITS (BU)

RAW MATERIALS BU

The decreased levels of business activity in 1Q13 remained throughout the second quarter of 2013. The reduction of inventories carried out by the Cork Stoppers BU and a slight sales slump in the Raw Materials BU (without taking the Trefinos' business into consideration) contributed to bringing down the cork requirements of the Raw Materials BU.

Despite a lower business activity, this BU has maintained a good performance in terms of profit. Better margins from the manufacture of cork (lower cork prices and better yields) in addition to a reduction in other operating costs, led the EBITDA of this BU to grow more than 50% (€ 9.7 M in 1H13 against € 6.3 M in 1H12).

The cork harvesting season is underway at the date hereof. Contrary to last year, the cork is being harvested under good climatic conditions and we expect that our expectations about a good cork harvest this year will come true. The Raw Materials BU has managed to acquire practically all the cork requirements (both in quantity and price) that it will need for its operations in 2014.

CORK STOPPERS BU

The sales figures of the Cork Stoppers BU grew by 7.4% to € 174.5 M in 1H13 (1H12: € 162.5 M). The inclusion of Trefinos' business in the consolidated Balance Sheet has contributed largely to this increase. Without this effect, the sales figures would have been even slightly negative (1 %) as a result of an adverse exchange rate effect in the first line of the Profit & Loss Account.

The business of the Cork Stoppers BU was carried on in a difficult context. The lack of wine in Europe caused by very poor harvests in 2011 and 2012, combined with a low wine consumption in Europe and competitive problems with China did not help paving the way for a better framework for the wine and cork industries.

The slight decrease in sales of natural cork stoppers and Twin Top® stoppers was offset by increased sales of other types of cork stoppers, such as champagne and capsulated cork stoppers as well as Neutrocork® stoppers.

Sales to the two major markets - France and the USA - decreased slightly, but this drop was somewhat balanced off by an increase in sales to other markets, with the Spanish market deserving a special mention.

1H13 EBITDA of the Cork Stoppers BU was € 21.3 M, a € 4.5 M-decrease compared to the same period last year. Nearly half of this decrease was due to adverse exchange rate effects (which were favourable in 1H12). On a comparable basis, the remainder of that decrease resulted from a slight reduction in sales as well as a negative impact from the poor quality of the raw materials.

As a result of a major research and development effort, the Helix cork was launched by CORTICEIRA AMORIM at Vinexpo. CORTICEIRA AMORIM's ability to renew its portfolio of products and solutions continues to be the Company's hallmark in the industry of natural cork stoppers and wine bottle seals worldwide. The scheduled date to start selling Helix corks is 2014. The anticipated benefits from this new product are expected to begin bearing fruit in the mid-term.

FLOOR AND WALL COVERINGS BU

Sales of trade products – especially wood veneer products – manufactured by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU continued to decline in the second quarter of 2013. This is the main reason for the drop in sales in 1H13 (€ 63.9 M in 1H13 against € 68.1 M in 1H12). The € 4.1 M sales decrease is largely justified by a € 3.3 M decline in sales of trade products (-25%).

The slight decline in sales of cork floor coverings (-1%) – the most important product manufactured by this BU - was due to market contraction in China and Eastern European countries. A stock clearance in China and a certain time lag in Eastern European markets between the placing of orders and the delivery of products may be indicative of a recovery in the second half of 2013.

The North American market continues to hold an outstanding position among our export markets. The sales to a mature market such as Germany had a remarkable growth.

1H13 EBITDA was € 7.6 M, down from € 8.4 M in the comparable prior-year period. Although manufactured goods are sold at much lower margins than the products manufactured by this BU, the sale of these products contributes to the profit of the Floor and Wall Coverings BU. EBITDA drop in 1H13 is largely explained by a sharp sales decline.

This indicator has been hindered by the continuous increase in transportation costs. With a view to counteracting this rise, the BU has been aggressively exploring high-potential alternative rail and sea routes.

CORK COMPOSITES BU

1H13 sales of the Cork Composites BU reached € 47.5 M, an amount almost equal to that recorded in 1H12 (+0.6%). It should be noted, however, that the product mix is substantially different.

Sales of finished products to end customers in 1H13 were down by about 3% from a year ago, but this decrease was offset by higher sales of goods - especially cork waste.

Among the products manufactured by this BU, attention should be drawn to the decrease in sales of two major lines of products (Industry and sealing product segments) and maintenance of the sales level to the construction industry. The U.S. market continues to show a steady growth in this product family. Decreases in the sales of industry and sealing products were recorded in nearly all markets.

1H13 EBITDA was € 2.7 M, a modest performance compared to € 4.7 M in 1H12. Despite a favourable effect caused by higher selling prices, the impact from cork waste price declines and also, specifically in this BU, the adverse exchange rate effect caused some damage to that indicator. In addition, the increase in some operating costs, particularly energy-related items such as electricity and gas, eventually led to a poor performance. Furthermore, a new BPD press was brought into service and this was an additional contributing factor to a negative performance. The costs related to the launch of a renewed image of the Cork Composites BU deserve also special mention.

The benefits to be reaped from the new product lines - although they are apparent in the accounts - do not have yet the importance that they are expected to have in the medium term.

Amorim Cork Composites (former Corticeira Amorim Indústria, previously named Corticeira Amorim Lda. at the time of its incorporation, a name that gave rise to the current name "CORTICEIRA AMORIM Holding") is the main production plant of the Cork Composites BU and is celebrating its 50th anniversary during 2013.

INSULATION CORK BU

The business performance of the Insulation Cork BU has continued to be hampered by poor and weakening construction demand in Europe. The postponement of several construction projects - or even their discontinuance has strongly affected the performance of the Insulation Cork BU.

France, the BU's major market, was the primarily responsible for decreasing levels of business in the Insulation Cork BU, accounting for almost two-thirds of the total sales fall.

Total sales in 1H13 reached € 4.1 M, a 12%-decrease compared to 1H12 that is entirely due to the volume effect.

The sales drop is reflected in the decrease in the absolute value of EBITDA (€ 0.6 M in 1H13 against € 1.1 M in 1H12).

3. CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

As noted above, consolidated sales grew by 2.4% to € 282 M, (1H12: € 275 M). On a comparable basis, there was a decrease of € 7 M. Increases/decreases in these components have already been pointed out in the Introduction.

The gross margin percentage shows a significant increase because Change in manufactured inventories are included therein. Such a high decrease between the figures for 1H13 and 1H12 (€ -13 M) has a significant impact on the gross margin percentage.

In absolute terms, gross margin grew only by € 2.5 M, a scarce increase considering that sales grew approx. € 7 M. In practice, this means that the gross margin has been highly impacted by other factors, among which the adverse exchange rate effect is worth a special mention.

This increase in the absolute gross margin already includes Trefinos' contribution of € 6.8 M to that amount.

Operating costs increased approx. € 7.3 M, of which € 6.2 M relate to Trefinos. On a comparable basis, operating costs show even an increase in the region of € 1.5 M, with advertising costs related to "Trade Creditors" showing a rise by € +0.8 M. The largest contributor to this amount was the Floor and Wall Coverings BU (€ +0.5 M) as a result of the launch of the Wood Studio project in Germany and the Netherlands. As these records are concentrated on the first half of the year, we are expecting a significant slowdown in the second half of the year.

The above increase, together with the rise in transportation costs (€ +0.3 M) practically justify the whole increase in "Supplies and Services".

As far as the other operating costs is concerned, the only comparable variation has to do with exchange rate differences. Although Amorim is covered against foreign exchange risks in accordance with the provisions set forth in a chapter about accounting policies, these amounts have to be recorded. As approx. 30% of consolidated sales are based on a foreign currency to the Euro, the annual amount will exceed € 150 M. In 1H12, such records showed a positive value of approx. € 1.5 M, while in 1H13 they amounted to € - 0.4 M. Therefore, on a comparable basis, there was a negative impact of € 1.9 M. Because a significant portion of this amount relates to potential exchange rate differences, then it is reasonable to expect a reversal (at least a partial reversal) in the negative trend in the second half of the current year.

1H13 EBITDA reached € 40 M, about € 4.8 M lower than in 1H12. As noted above, in addition to some amounts which offset each other, the above decrease resulted mainly from a negative exchange rate effect on sales and an adverse exchange rate effect (€ 2.8 M). As regards the remaining balance, there are impairment values and a provision for restructuring a subsidiary that were not fully offset by the operating profit contribution of the Raw Materials BU and the impact from the inclusion of Trefinos' assets and liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet.

EBITDA to sales ratio shows thus a significant decrease (14.2% in 1H13 against 16.3% in 1H12). It should be noted that the EBITDA to sales ratio for 1H12 was the highest ever for CORTICEIRA AMORIM. In addition to the reasons set forth above, the decrease in this indicator was strongly impacted by the inclusion of Trefinos' assets and liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet.

Trefinos' EBITDA to Sales ratio in 1H13 was below CORTICEIRA AMORIM's average, thereby contributing to a decrease in the consolidated ratio.

1H13 EBIT was € 28.3 M (1H12: € 33.9 M).

Net financial income in 1H13 improved substantially y-o-y (€ -3 M in 1H13 against € -3.4 M in 1H12). This performance is explained by a decrease in net interest-bearing debt and interest rates. Your attention should be drawn to the fact that an amount of € 380 thousand relating to a provision for stamp duty was included - for reasons of precaution - in net financial income.

Based on an income tax estimate of € 9 M (1H12: € 8.1 M) and non-controlling interests of € 0.2 M, net income for the period attributable to shareholders of CORTICEIRA AMORIM amounted to € 16,546 M, down 6.6% from the same period last year (1H12: € 17,716 M).

Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was € 11,252 M, down 5.9% from 2Q12 (€ 11,956 M).

4. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET)

Consolidated total assets stood at € 629 M at the end of 1H13, a decrease compared not only to € 644 M at the end of 2012, but also compared to 1H12 (€ 640M).

As regards total assets at the end of December 2012, the most significant increases/(decreases) relate to Trade Receivables (€ +25 M) and Inventories (€ -12 M). The net amount of these increases/(decreases) would lead to an increase in total assets, were it not for the fact that the Total Assets figure at the end of December 2012 was boosted mainly by an abnormal value of cash and cash equivalents. In fact, as the figure for cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 was € 39 M, the figure for both Assets and Total Assets in general, was boosted by approx. € 30 M at that date, as its usual value was around € 10 M. The reduction in the Cash figure and, simultaneously, in net interest-bearing debt at the end of 1H13 is the main reason behind the decrease in Assets and Total Assets at 30 June 2013.

Attention should be drawn to the fact that CORTICEIRA AMORIM's Balance Sheets usually show an increase in Trade Receivables and a decrease in Inventories in the first half of every year.

On the Liabilities side, there was naturally a decrease in net interest-bearing debt.

Net interest-bearing debt - a key indicator - decreased approximately € 6 M compared to December 31, 2012 and nearly € 9 M on a year over year basis.

The release of approximately € 38 M from operations was used to fund approximately € 32 M of non-operating expenses (CAPEX, dividend payments, interest payments and income tax). The remaining balance was used to reduce net interest-bearing debt.

As of June 30, 2013, Total Equity was € 298 M, an increase of € 3 M compared to December 31, 2012. This increase results essentially from profit (€ 16.5 M) and dividends paid (€ 12 M).

Total equity to total assets ratio was 47.4% at June 30, 2013, up from 45.9% and 45.7% at the end of the two past half years. This increase reflects not only a rise in Total Equity as a result of the non-payment of all profits as dividends, but to a large extent results from the above reduction in CORTICEIRA AMORIM's total assets in the first half of 2013.

5. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 2013

Announced the greatest innovation in the wine sector in the 21st century. "HELIX" is a differentiated wine packaging solution, developed to meet the growing demand for sustainable and quality products, introducing a concept of functionality to the traditional cork stopper and glass combination.

The new product, whose launch was extremely well received by the wine sector at Vinexpo in June, is the result of a four-year partnership between Corticeira Amorim and O-I, two world leaders in their sectors of activity, who through a shared vision of market knowledge, R&D and creativity, designed this new wine packaging concept.

"HELIX" is based on the development of an innovative cork stopper and a glass bottle with an internal thread finish in the neck, both designed to only work together, creating a high performing sophisticated solution.

Retaining the characteristic sound associated with extracting a cork stopper from a glass bottle – the festive "pop" – "HELIX" is a practical and sustainable solution for consumers and the wine industry, which is increasingly concerned with ensuring the careful management of its brand value.

The development process of HELIX took place in close collaboration with consumers – who met the product with overwhelming acceptance all over the world – and with wine producers, with tests carried out in a dozen wineries. The high technical performance of HELIX combined with the strong market acceptance underpin our prospects for the success of this innovative packaging, which is aimed at an important market segment: fast turnaround wines.

Amorim Group has played an important role in promoting numerous national cultural initiatives, as highlighted by the Secretary of State for Culture, Jorge Barreto Xavier himself:

"I am delighted to note the important cooperation that the Amorim Group has given in the field of Culture, through a consistent grant policy and social support to a significant number of initiatives. In this regard, I would like to highlight the significance and impact of the collaborations recently seen under the direct supervision of my Office, namely through the contribution to the presence of Portugal as Guest of Honour of the 26th edition of FILBo – Bogotá International Book Fair, to the Portuguese Official Representation at the Venice Biennale, with the "Trafaria Praia" project, by the artist Joana Vasconcelos, still underway.

In the Group's cultural intervention logic policy, the uniqueness of the interchange between social support actions developed and the significant return achieved by incorporating cultural benefits in the output of the latest production, namely in launching new products and applications for the raw material through design, must not be overlooked."

Amorim cork is the key material of the Quiet Motion structure, designed by renowned French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, displayed at the BMWi exhibition at Salone del Mobile 2013 in Milan, which will be promoted by BMWi on a tour of various world capitals.

Quiet Motion is the result of a shared vision between BMWi and the Bouroullec designers, which is based on a passion for innovative, forward-thinking and sustainable products. Interpreting a concept of sustainable mobility, it includes cork agglomerate supplied by Corticeira Amorim, to which a series of colourful fabrics were added. Carousel-like rotating platforms, turn in coordinated movements, moving gently and making no noise, substantiating the silent use of energy, in an analogy with environment-friendly electric propulsion, which shall increasingly integrate the new generation of cars of the BMWi brand.

"Through Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec's Quiet Motion installation, I rediscovered a totally new perspective of cork. When used wisely, the natural properties of this authentic material, such as its warmth and acoustics and of course its unique aesthetic, are truly supporting our BMW i Next Premium design philosophy.", explains Benoit Jacob, Head of Design for BMWi.

Corticeira amorim enables annual carbon capture in excess of 2 million tonnes of CO2.

A study sponsored by Corticeira Amorim under ISO 14064 standard, concludes that the company's activity benefi ts the planet in regard to greenhouse gases, by capturing more CO2 than it releases.

In the calculation carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) of all Corticeira Amorim's Business Units, with independent verifi cation by Deloitte, it was shown that the company's activity results in an annual carbon capture in excess of 2 million tonnes of CO2, which is 15 times higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of the whole value chain.

The cork oak forest, made possible by harvesting the cork and the cork industry of which Corticeira Amorim is the global leader, plays a fundamental role in carbon capture and storage, it being estimated that it has the capacity to capture up to 14 million tonnes / year of CO2. Therefore, the carbon footprint of Corticeira Amorim and its products must be seen from the perspective of a life cycle, which takes into account the entire value chain and, as a result, the upstream impact of the materials used in its processes.

In February, Amorim Cork America launched its new sales and distribution unit in the centre of Napa Valley.

The project, with a total area of over 13,500 m² and a built area of 5,000 m², is the most innovative in the world. Building this facility is part of the strategy of investment in the U.S. wine industry and, of course, in the cork stopper industry.

The US is currently the world's largest consumer of wine, ahead of historically more significant markets such as Italy or France

Amorim among Europe'S ten most innovative companies

At the 2012/2013 edition of the European Business Awards, Corticeira Amorim was among the 100 companies distinguished with the "Ruban d'Honneur". The company was selected for the TOP 10 in the Innovation category, a distinction which rewards excellence in the field of innovation, always in strict compliance with exacting ethical standards. R&D + Innovation has always been one of Corticeira Amorim's strategic pillars, but it has played an especially important role since the late 90s. Thanks to this strategy, the company now boasts a wide-ranging portfolio of cork products which it supplies to the world's most demanding organisations.

Cork in the royal College of art's design products MA programme

As part of a new study module, a group of talented students from the Royal College of Art's Design Products programme have produced a number of innovative designs using cork.

The initiative is the result of a partnership between the Royal College of Art and Corticeira Amorim. The most recent collaboration with leading international institutions, it forms part of Amorim's ongoing strategy to make cork a featured material in leading design and architectural projects.

7. OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2013

Though still feeble, reversal of the European economic activity fall, if materialised, should represent good news for CORTICEIRA AMORIM second half performance. In spite of this, BU Cork Stoppers may still be hit by the low grape harvests of the last couple of years.

Following the light recovery of the second quarter, it is estimated that this trend to match 2012 figures can be registered in the second half. CORTICEIRA AMORIM projects that full 2013 comparable sales and profits can be close to those attained in last year.

8. BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The persistence of serious structural problems in the world economy and the foreign exchange risk, especially of the US dollar against the euro, are the two exogenous factors which may more broadly and adversely affect CORTICEIRA AMORIM's performance in the next six months.

9. TREASURY STOCK

During first half 2013 CORTICEIRA AMORIM acquired in several stock market trading days 15,300 own shares , corresponding to 0.012% of its share capital, at an average price of 1.873 €/share, totalling 28,659.00 euros, as follows:

I. INTRODUCTION

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, directly or indirectly, holds no interest in land properties used to grow and explore cork tree. Cork tree is the source of cork, the main raw material used by CORTICEIRA AMORIM production units. Cork acquisition is made in an open market, with multiple agents, both in the demand side as in the supply side.

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 Capital - Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A. held 67,830,000 shares of CORTICEIRA AMORIM as of June 30, 2013 corresponding to 51.00 % of its share capital (December 2012: 67,830,000 shares). Amorim Capital - Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A. is fully owned by Amorim family.

These financial statements were approved in the Board Meeting of July 29, 2013.

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

Some figures of the following notes may present very small differences not only when compared with the total sum of the parts, but also when compared with figures published in other parts of this report. These differences are due to rounding aspects of the automatic treatment of the data collected.

II. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POL ICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

a. Basis of presentation

Consolidated statements were prepared based on a going concern basis and using the records as stated in the companies' books, which adopted Portuguese general accepted accounting principles. Accounting adjustments and reclassifications were made in order to comply with accounting policies followed by the IFRS, as adopted by the European Union (IAS – International Accounting Standards and the IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards) and legal for use as of June 30, 2013, namely IAS 34.

b. Consolidation

Group companies

Group companies, often designated as subsidiaries, are entities over which CORTICEIRA AMORIM has a shareholding of more than one-half of its voting rights, or has the power to govern its management, namely its financial and operating policies.

Group companies are consolidated line by line, being the position of third-party interests in the shareholding of those companies stated in the consolidated financial position in the "Non-controlling interest" account. Date of first consolidation or de-consolidation is, in general, the beginning or the end of the quarter when the conditions for that purpose are fulfilled.

Profit or loss is allocated to the shareholders of the mother company and to the non-controlling interest in proportion of their correspondent parts of capital, even in the case that non-controlling interest become negative.

IFRS 3 is applied to all business combinations past January 1, 2010, according to Regulamento no. 495/2009, of June 3, as adopted by the European Commission. When acquiring subsidiaries the purchasing method will be followed. According to the revised IFRS, the acquisition cost will be measured by the given fair value assets, by the assumed liabilities and equity interest issued. Transactions costs will be charged as incurred and the services received. The exceptions are the costs related with debt or capital issued. These must be registered according to IAS 32 and IAS 39. Identifiable purchased assets and assumed liabilities will be initially measured at fair value. The acquirer shall recognized goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (i) over (ii) below:

  • (i) the aggregate of:
  • the consideration transferred measured in accordance with this IFRS;
  • the amount of any Non-controllable interest in the acquiree; and
  • In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree.
  • (ii) the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed

In the case that (ii) exceeds (i), a difference must be registered as a gain.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling Interest are recorded at fair value or in the proportion of the percentage held in the net asset of the acquire, as long as it is effectively owned by the entity. The others components of the non-controlling interest are registered at fair value, except if other criteria is mandatory.

Transactions with Non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with Group Equity holders.

In any acquisition from non-controlling interests, the difference between the consideration paid and the accounting value of the share acquired is recognised in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss.

Equity companies

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill. Future impairments of goodwill will be adjusted against the carrying amount of investments The Group's share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, in the "Gain/(losses) in associates" account, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The carrying amount is also adjusted by dividends received. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligation on behalf of the associate, in this case the liabilities will be recorded in a "Provisions" account.

Exchange rate effect

Euro is the legal currency of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., and is the currency in which two thirds of its business is made and so Euro is considered to be its functional and presentation currency.

In non-euro subsidiaries, all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to euros using yearend exchange rates. Net exchange differences arising from the different rates used in transactions and the rate used in its settlements is recorded in the income statement.

Assets and liabilities from non-euro subsidiaries are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate, being its costs and gains from the income statement translated at the average exchange rate for the period / year.

Exchange differences are registered in an equity account "Translation differences" which is part of the line "Other reserves".

Whenever and a non-euro subsidiary is sold or liquidated, accumulated translation differences recorded in equity is registered as a gain or a loss in the consolidated income statement by nature.

c. Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are originally their respective historical cost (including attributable expenses) or production cost, including, whenever applicable, interest costs incurred throughout the respective construction or start-up period, which are capitalised until the asset is ready for its projected use.

Tangible fixed assets are subsequently measured at acquisition cost, deducted from cumulative depreciations and impairments.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis, over the following years, which represent a reasonable estimate of the useful lives:

Number of years
Buildings 20 to 50
Plant machinery 6 to 10
Motor vehicles 4 to 7
Office equipment 4 to 8

Depreciation is charged since the beginning of the moment in which the asset is ready to use. The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Current maintenance on repair expenses are charged to the actual income statement in which they occurred. Cost of operations that can extend the useful expected life of an asset, or from which are expected higher and significative future benefits, are capitalized.

An asset's carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount and charged to the income statement if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses and disposals are included in the income statement.

d. Intangible assets

Research expenditures are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

Development expenditure is recognised as intangible asset when the technical feasibility being developed can be demonstrated and the Group has the intention and capacity to complete their development and start trading or using them and that future economic benefits will occur.

Amortisation of the intangible assets is calculated by the straight-line method, and recorded as the asset qualifies for its required purpose:

Number of years
Industrial Property 10 to 20
Software 3 to 6

The estimated useful life of assets are reviewed and adjusted when necessary, at the balance sheet date.

e. Investment property

Investment property includes land and buildings not used in production.

Investment property are initially registered at acquisition cost plus acquisition or production attributable costs, and when pertinent financial costs during construction or installation. Subsequently are measured at acquisition cost less cumulative depreciations and impairment.

Periods and methods of depreciation are as follows in d) note for tangible fixed asset.

Properties are derecognized when sold. When used in production are reclassified as tangible fixed asset. When land and buildings are no mores used for production, they will be reclassified from tangible fixed asset to investment property.

f. Goodwill

Goodwill arises from acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired at the date of acquisition. If positive, it will be included as an asset in the "goodwill" account. If negative, it will be registered as a gain for the period.

In Business combinations after January 1, 2010, Goodwill will be calculated as referred in b).

For impairment tests purposes, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the upcoming synergies.

Goodwill will be tested annually for impairment, or whenever an evidence of such occurs; impairment losses will be charged to the income statement and, consequently, its carrying amount adjusted.

g. Non-financial assets impairment

Assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but are annually tested for impairment purposes.

Assets under depreciation are tested for impairment purposes whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that its value cannot be recovered. Impairment losses are recognized as the difference between its carrying amount and its recoverable amount. Recoverable corresponds to the higher of its fair value less sales expenses and its value for use. Non-financial assets, except goodwill, that generated impairment losses are valued at each reporting date regarding reversals of said losses.

h. Other financial assets

Relates, mainly, to financial applications corresponding to equity instruments measured at cost.

i. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost or production cost and net realisable value. Acquisition cost includes direct and indirect expenses incurred in order to have those inventories at its present condition and place. Production cost includes used raw material costs, direct labour, other direct costs and other general fixed production costs (using normal capacity utilisation).

Where the net realisable value is lower than production cost, inventory impairment is registered. This adjustment will be reversed or reduced whenever the impairment situation no longer takes place.

Year-end quantities are determined based on the accounting records, which are confirmed by the physical inventory taking. Raw materials, consumables and by-products are valued at weighted average cost, and finished goods and work-in-progress at the average production cost which includes direct costs and indirect costs incurred in production.

j. Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are registered initially at cost, adjusted for any subsequent impairment losses which will be charged to the income statement.

Medium and long-term receivables will be measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate of the debtor for similar periods.

k. Financ ial assets impairment

At each reporting date, the impairment of financial assets at amortised cost is evaluated.

Financial asset impairment occurs if after initial register, unfavourable cash flows from that asset can be reasonably estimated.

Impairment losses are recognized as the difference between its carrying amounts and expected future cash flows (excluding future losses that yet have not occurred), discounted at the initial effective interest rate of the asset. The calculated amount is deducted to the carrying amount and loss recognised in the earnings statement.

l. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash in hand, deposits held at call in banks, time deposits and other no-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, this caption includes Bank overdrafts.

m. Suppliers, other borrowings and c reditors

Debts to suppliers and other borrowings and creditors are initially registered at fair value. Subsequently are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate method. They are classified as current liabilities, except if CORTICEIRA AMORIM has full discretion to defer settlement for at least another 12 months from the reporting date

n. Interest bearing loans

This line includes interest bearing loans amounts. Any costs attributable to the lender, will be deducted to the loan amount and charged, during its life, using the effective interest rate.

Interests are usually charged to the income statement as they occur. Interests arising from loans related with capital expenditure for periods longer than 12 months will be capitalised and charged to the specific asset under construction. Capitalisation will cease when the project is ready for use or suspended.

o. Income taxes – current and deferred

Income tax includes current income tax and deferred income tax. Except for companies included in groups of fiscal consolidation, current income tax is calculated separately for each subsidiary, on the basis of its net result for the period adjusted according to tax legislation. Management periodically addresses the effect of different interpretations of tax law.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method, reflecting the temporary differences between the carrying amount of consolidated assets and liabilities and their correspondent value for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually registered using actual tax rates or known tax rates to be in vigour at the time of the expected reversal of the temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable sufficient future taxable income will be available utilisation. At the end of each year an analysis of the deferred tax assets is made. Those that are not likely to be used in the future will be derecognised.

Deferred taxes are registered as an expense or a gain of the year, except if they derive from values that are booked directly in equity. In this case, deferred tax is also registered in the same line.

p. Employee benefits

CORTICEIRA AMORIM Portuguese employees benefit exclusively from the national welfare plan. Employees from foreign subsidiaries (about 25% of total CORTICEIRA AMORIM) or are covered exclusively by local national welfare plans or benefit from complementary contribution plans.

As for the defined contribution plans, contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses attributable to a large number of directors. These benefits are based on estimations that take in account the accomplishment of both individual goals and a preestablished CORTICEIRA AMORIM level of profits.

q. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when CORTICEIRA AMORIM has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is more likely than not an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimation is possible.

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Restructuring provisions are recognised with a formal detail plan and when third parties affected are informed.

When there is a present obligation, resulting from a past event, but it is not probable that an out flow of resources will be required, or this cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is treated as a contingent liability. This will be disclosed in the financial statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote.

r. Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and finished products. Revue is shown, net of value-added tax, returns, rebates, and discounts, including cash discounts. Revenue is also adjusted by any prior period's sales corrections.

Services rendered are immaterial and, generally, are refunds of costs related with finish product sales.

Sales revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer and its amount can be reliably measured. Revenue receivable after one year will be discounted to its fair value.

s. Government grants

Grants received are related generally with fixed assets expenditure. No-repayable grants are present in the balance sheet as deferred income, and recognised as income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the related asset. Repayable interest bearing grants are presented as interests bearing debt; if no-interest bearing, they are presented as "Other borrowings". Reimbursable grants with "out of market" interest rates are measured at fair value when they are initially recognised. Difference between nominal and fair value at initial recognition is treated as an income to be recognised. This will be presented in other gains during the useful life span of the said asset. Subsequently, these grants are measured at amortised cost.

t. Leasing

When a contract indicates that the significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to CORTICEIRA AMORIM, leasing contracts will be considered as financial leases.

All other leasing contracts are treated as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement.

u. Derivative financ ial instruments

CORTICEIRA AMORIM uses derivatives financial instruments as forward and spot exchange rate contracts, options and swaps; these are intended to hedge its business financial risks and are not used for speculative purposes. CORTICEIRA AMORIM accounts for these instruments as hedge accounting, following all its standards. Dealing is carried out by a central treasury department (dealing room) on behalf of the subsidiaries, under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Derivatives are initially recorded at cost in the consolidated statements of financial position and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising is as follows:

Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges and that are expected to be highly effective, are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

Cash flow hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow edges and that are expected to be highly effective, are recognised in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Net investment hedge

For the moment, CORTICEIRA AMORIM is not considering any foreign exchange hedge over its net investments in foreign units (subsidiaries).

CORTICEIRA AMORIM has fully identified the nature of its activities' risk exposure and documents entirely and formally each hedge; uses its information system to guarantee that each edge is supported by a description of: risk policy, purpose and strategy, classification, description of risk, identity of the instrument and of the risk item, description of initial measurement and future efficiency, identification of the possible derivative portion which will be excluded from the efficiency test.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or the forecasted transaction no longer remains highly provable or simply is abandoned, or the decision to consider the transaction as a hedge, the company will de-recognised the instrument.

v. Equity

Ordinary shares are included in equity.

When CORTICEIRA AMORIM acquires own shares, acquisition value is recognised deducting from equity in the line treasury stock.

III. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

CORTICEIRA AMORIM activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

Market risk

a. Exchange rate risk

CORTICEIRA AMORIM operates in various international markets, being, consequently, exposed to exchange rates variations in the local currencies in which conducts its business. Around 30% of its total sales are denominated in currencies other than its reporting currency (euro). Of that percentage around 20% is USD denominated. The remaining sales are concentrated in South African rand, Chilean peso, British pound and Australian dollar. About 90% of the goods and services acquired are euro based. Most of the remaining value is denominated in USD.

Exchange rate risk derives not only from the effects of the exchange rates variations in non-euro assets and liabilities euro counter value, but also from the effects in the book orders (future transactions) and from net investments in operating units located in non-euro areas.

Exchange rate risk management policy established by CORTICEIRA AMORIM Board points out to a total hedging of the assets deriving from sales in the most important currencies and from USD acquisitions. As for book orders up to 90 days, each Business Unit responsible will decide according to exchange rate evolution. Book orders, considered relevant, due after 90 days, will be presented by the Business Unit responsible to the Board.

As of June 30, 2013, exchange rates different from the actual as of that date, would have no material effect in financial assets or liabilities values, due to the said hedging policy. As for book orders any effect would be registered in Equity. As for non-euro net investments in subsidiaries/associate, any exchange rate effect would be registered in Equity, because CORTICEIRA AMORIM does not hedge this type of assets. As these investments are not considered relevant, the register of the effects of exchange rates variations was € 13 K as of June 30, 2013 (2012: € 611 K and 1H2012: € -602 K). In these values is included the effect of not hedging net investments in subsidiaries/associate.

b. Interest rate risk

As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, all interest bearing debt is linked to variable interest rate. Most of the risk derives from the noncurrent-term portion of that debt. As for June 30, 2013, noncurrent-term debt was 28% of total interest bearing debt (2012: 39%). During 2010 and 2013 Corticeira Amorim, SGPS, SA signed two interest rate swaps regarding the economic hedging of the interest rate risk. In its books, these were registered as an available-for-sale derivative. As of June 30, 2013, for each 0.1% variation in euro based debt, a total effect of € -125 K in CORTICEIRA AMORIM profits would be registered.

Credit risk

Credit risk is due, mainly, to receivables from customers related to trade sales. Credit risk is monitored by the operating companies Financial Departments, taking in consideration its history of trade relations, financial situation as well as other types of information that CORTICEIRA AMORIM business network has available related with each trading partner. Credit limits are analysed and revised, if necessary, on a regular basis. Due to the high number of customers, spread through all continents, the most important of them weighting less than 2.5% of total sales, credit risk is naturally diminished.

Normally no guarantees are due from customers. CORTICEIRA AMORIM does not make use of credit insurance.

Credit risk derives also from cash and cash equivalents balances and from financial derivative instruments. CORTICEIRA AMORIM previously analysis the ratings of the financial institutions so that it can minimize the failure of the counterparts.

The maximum credit risk is the one that results from the failure to receive all financial assets (June 2013: 204 million euros and December 2012: 201 million euros).

Liquidity risk

CORTICEIRA AMORIM financial department regularly analyses future cash flows so that it can deliver enough liquidity for the group to provide operating needs, and also to comply with credit lines payments. Excess of cash is invested in interest bearing short-term deposits. This police offer the necessary flexibility to conduct its business.

Financial liabilities estimated non-discounted cash flows maturities are as follows:

thousand euro
Up to 1 year 1 to 2 years 2 to 4 years More than 4
years
Total
Interest-bearing loans 108.231 41.729 8.710 1.923 160.594

Trade payables 99.240 99.240
Income tax liabilities 7.848 7.848
Total as of December 31, 2012 249.142 42.558 14.895 8.137 314.732
Interest-bearing loans 90.699 23.814 8.834 1.911 125.258
Other borrowings and creditors 58.507 904 6.184 5.509 71.104
Trade payables 98.460 98.460
Income tax liabilities 8.648 8.648
Total as of June 30, 2013 256.314 24.718 15.018 7.420 303.470

Liquidity risk hedging is achieved by the existence of non-used credit line facilities and, eventually bank deposits.

Based in estimated cash flows, 2013 liquidity reserve, composed mainly by non-used credit lines, will be as follows:

thousand euros
2013
Opening balance 158
Operating cash in and cash out 72
Investments -20
Interest and dividends -17
Income tax -12
Non-current debt payment -45
Saldo final 136

Capital risk

CORTICEIRA AMORIM key objective is to assure business continuity, delivering a proper return to its shareholders and the correspondent benefits to its remaining stakeholders. A careful management of the capital employed in the business, using the proper combination of capital in order to reduce its costs, obtains the fulfilment of this objective. In order to achieve the proper combination of capital employed, the Board can obtain from the General Shareholders Meeting the approval of the necessary measures, namely adjusting the dividend pay-out ratio, the treasury stock, raising capital through new shares issue, sale of assets or other type of measures.

The key indicator for the said combination is the Equity / Assets ratio. CORTICEIRA AMORIM considers that a 40% ratio is a clear sign of a perfect combination, and a range between 35%-45%, depending on actual economic conditions and of the cork sector in particular, is the objective to be accomplished. The said ratio register was:

Thousands euros
June 2013 Dec. 2012 Dec. 2011
Equity 298.083 295 246 282 292
Assets 629.244 643 767 605 053
Ratio 47,4% 45,9% 46,7%

Financial assets and liabilities fair value

As of June 30, 2013 and December 2012, financial instruments measured at fair value in the financial statements of CORTICEIRA AMORIM were composed solely of derivative financial instruments. Derivatives used by CORTICEIRA AMORIM have no public quotation because they are not traded in an open market (over the counter derivatives).

According to accounting standards assets and liabilities fair value measurement hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – public quotation (non-adjusted) in liquid markets for comparable assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 different inputs of public quotation observable for the asset or the liability, directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 inputs for the assets or the liability that are not based in observable market data (non-observable inputs).

As of June 30, 2013, financial instruments reached 255 thousand euros (assets) and 1,050 thousand euros (liabilities), as stated in notes XV and XXI. These were solely composed by over the counter derivative financial instruments.

Swaps measurement is made by an external financial institution, using a proprietary model which utilises, on top of other inputs, a proprietary index (level 3). In exchange rate instruments measurement, fair value is calculated using a proprietary model of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, developed by Reuters, using discounted cash flows method for forwards outrights. As for options, it is used the Black & Scholes model. In forwards outrights and options measurement evaluations techniques use observable inputs (level 2).

IV. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

When evaluating equity and net income, CORTICEIRA AMORIM makes estimates and assumptions concerning events only effective in the future. In most cases, estimates were confirmed by future events. In such cases where it doesn't, variations will be registered when they'll be materialized.

As for 1H2013, no estimates and judgements were identified as having important impact in CORTICEIRA AMORIM results if not materialized.

As for assets, goodwill amounts to € 5,256 K (2012: € 5,865 K). This value is supported by impairment tests made at year-end. The judgment used in these tests are key factors in order to decide or not if there is any impairment. Still to be noted € 6,931 K registered in deferred tax assets (2012: € 6,746 K). These values will be recovered if the business plans of the companies that recorded those assets are materialized in the future.
