The Italian company is specialised in the production of surbouchage capsules for sparkling and still wines.
The acquisition strengthens Corticeira Amorim's positioning, supporting a more comprehensive offer for the sparkling wine segment, with services and a range of products that meet the demands of the market .
Intercap was created in 1986 and has its industrial base in Canelli (Piedmont), with branches in France, the US and Chile.

An initiative that brings together Corticeira Amorim's young professionals to celebrate the company's spirit, mission and values.
An event focused on alignment and empowerment that aims to:

Corticeira Amorim joined the SDG FLAG DAY initiative.
Organised by the Global Compact, SDG Flag Day is a global campaign held on September 25, the anniversary of the establishment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to mark the adoption of the SDGs.
In 2018, Corticeira Amorim aligned its sustainability strategy with the United Nations SDGs, laying the foundation for its "Sustainable by nature" program, which sets out ambitions to be achieved by 2030 and is aligned with 12 SDGs.

Located at Universidade Católica Portuguesa Porto, it represents an important step towards connecting Academia with the business world.
The Auditorium was inaugurated by Isabel Capeloa Gil, dean of the University, and António Rios de Amorim, who delivered a reflection on "Innovation, Sustainability, and Business".
Lined with cork, the auditorium stands out for its acoustic and insulation properties, using state-of-the art technology to provide an enhanced experience for students.

Corticeira Amorim's newsletter celebrates 40 years of uninterrupted publication.
A pioneering editorial initiative launched by Américo Ferreira de Amorim designed to convey news about Amorim to its stakeholders in Portugal and across the world. . Amorim News has ever since been publishing news about Corticeira Amorim's key moments, following its growth and diversification.
As the world leader of the cork industry, the retrospective has a forward -looking gaze. Because that's the core challenge: striving constantly to affirm the value of cork, based on its intrinsic characteristics. Expanding the potential of an incredible material, and taking it even further, based on the differentiation and innovation that characterise Corticeira Amorim, in harmony with nature.

The initiative brought together Portuguese and foreign investors and analysts for a two -day programme .
The event began at Herdade de Rio Frio, where participants learnt more about the Forestry Intervention Project, including the investments already made in this forestry property to increase the number of cork oaks per hectare and optimise cork production.
On the following day, the participants visited Amorim Top Series' new factories, Amorim Cork (highlighting the Naturity and Xpürtechnologies), Amorim Cork Flooring's digital printer, as well as the new technologies installed at Amorim Cork Composites.

Negative footprint of Naturity® corks proves to be an important ally in the decarbonisation of the wine sector.
The environmental supremacy of natural cork stoppers produced by Corticeira Amorim is made clear in the "Life Cycle Analysis" (LCA) prepared by PwC at the request of the world leader in wine stoppers. Analysing three types of stoppers, the Naturity ® cork stopper and two artificial seals (one made of aluminiumand the other made of plastic), the study covers seven environmental indicators, was carried out in accordance with the guidelines for the ISO 14040 standard and subjected to a critical review by a committee of independent external experts.

A cultural research programme, created by Corticeira Amorim and curated by Guta Moura Guedes, that explores the intersection between contemporary urban contexts and one of the most versatile and sustainable raw materials that nature has to offer: cork.
Through the contributions of six internationally recognised architecture and design studios: Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Gabriel Calatrava, LeongLeong, Sagmeister & Walsh and Yves Béhar, City Cortex has created eight original projects for public and semi -public spaces. Besides exploring the potential of cork, the programme aims for a playful user experience, transforming communal urban spaces into playgrounds, places for multidisciplinary and multicultural interactions.

Sales

Despite price increases, sales performance was conditioned by a poorer mix and lower activity levels at the other BUs, namely Amorim Cork;
Yield differences due to lower-than-expected quality of some acquired cork lots significantly penalised the EBITDA margin, which was further pressured by:
Cork purchasing campaign concluded, confirming a normalisation of prices, following two years of significant cork inflation; volumes were below initial expectations, due to lower demand levels;
Existing inventories built up in the 2023 cork campaign will last beyond December and, therefore, cork consumption prices should remain at high levels over the coming months.

Despite having shown positive growth in the last quarter, sales performance in the period reflects challenging market conditions, with volume declines across most cork stopper categories;
Negative FX impact: at constant exchange rates, sales declined 4.2%;
The spirits segment continued underperform the still wine and sparkling wines segments, reflecting an unfavourable YoY comparison base, and still being impacted by the effects of de-stocking;
Higher cork consumption prices, operating deleveraging and increased electricity prices negatively impacted the EBITDA margin, although this benefited from:

Sales

Sales growth of trade products was more than offset by a subdued performance for manufactured products, reflecting ongoing pressure on volumes;
Amongst manufacturing products, lines that have been in a phased-out process were particularly impacted;
Most regions showed lower sales, except Scandinavia and a few small markets for this Business Unit;
Lower raw material costs and reduced staff costs contributed positively to profitability, but the EBITDA margin remained under pressure from:

Sales

Robust sales performance, particularly in the third quarter of the year, reflecting a product mix improvement, price increases and higher activity levels;
Major sales increases in the Resilient & Engineered Flooring Manufacturers, Sports Surfaces and Footwear segments; major sales declines in the Heavy Construction, Cork Specialists and Rail segments;
The structural change made in the product mix, supported an improvement of EBITDA margin over the recent years; nonetheless, profitability declined YoY as the benefits from industrial efficiencies and lower non-cork prices were more than offset by the negative impacts of:
• Higher cork prices,

Sales

Despite a marginal increase in selling prices, sales decline was mostly driven by volumes performance;
Cork consumption prices were supportive, but a deterioration of the EBITDA margin was mostly due to:

High cork prices have a significant impact on the BU's margins, as the manufacturing of expanded insulation corkboard uses only cork as a raw material;
The expected normalisation of cork prices will lend support to margins towards the end of the year; a more sustainable recovery of margins is also likely to depend on the implementation of industrial efficiency measures and on an easing of the current pressure on volumes.
