A memorable day for Corticeira Amorim that gathered more than 300 attendees at Casa da Música.
António Rios Amorim, CEO, presented the 2023 results and discussed the targets for 2024. It was also an occasion to celebrate the accomplishments of the year and to award the remarkable achievements made in important areas: sustainability, security, best project, revelation and career.
Paulo Portas, Portugal's former Minister of Foreign Affairs, provided valuable insights into global geopolitical and geo -economic trends.

This study also showed that Naturity ® cork stopper has a negative carbon footprint and is an important ally in the decarbonization of the wine sector.
The study analyses the environmental impact of each of the three shutters through their entire life cycle and demonstrates that the environmental benefit associated with Naturity ® cork stoppers is significantly superior to artificial closures in five of the seven indicators analysed.

A research program devised in partnership with experimentadesign that explores the use of cork in urban design.
Featuring the participation of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Gabriel Calatrava, Leong Leong, Sagmeister& Walsh and Yves B éhar, this programme is currently developing original projects for public and semi -public spaces in the greater metropolitan area of Lisbon, testing the possibilities for Portuguese cork in urban design through in situ experimentation.
City Cortex exhibition will open on June 6 and remain on display for six months, offering a positive and useful contribution to our lived experience as a social community and paving the way for a wider awareness of sustainability and the development of contemporary urban landscapes.

An innovative initiative developed by Quercus and supported by Corticeira Amorim.
The main objective of the " Aldeias Suber Protegidas (Suber-Protected Villages)" programme, which was launched in 2023, is to improve the resilience of forest areas and increase the safety and quality of life in villages located in areas at high risk of rural or forest fires.
The pilot project began in Unhaisda Serra, Portugal, in an area previously devastated by a major fire in 2018. This marked the start of a wider journey to protect these villages and the natural environment that surrounds them. The project was then extended to Segude ( Monção), and Lordosa (Viseu), resulting in the planting of approximately 1,300 trees with the active participation of 120 local students. The ambition for 2024 -2025 is to plant 20,000 trees.

A portrait of Corticeira Amorim's journey as a pioneer in the search for excellence in raw materials and their applications, as well as the Forestry Intervention Project.
The Forestry Intervention Project was launched in 2013 with the aim of preserving and ensuring the sustainable development of cork oak forests. This research project seeks to mobilise resources and lead the implementation of an innovative management model in partnership with forestry producers, research institutions and local authorities.

On International Women's Day, Corticeira Amorim launched a campaign highlighting its female workers.
On a day of celebrating the achievements of women, Corticeira Amorim paid homage to all its female employees by sharing the stories of some of them.
These were real and inspiring stories that highlighted persistence, determination and achievement and that, despite being common to many other women, are often little remembered or recognised.

Lower activity levels of the other BUs impacted sales performance;
High cork consumption prices and operating deleverage were the main drivers of EBITDA margin decline, even though it benefited from:
After two years of atypical cork campaigns, a normalisation is expected in 2024; cork consumption prices, however, will remain at high levels over the coming months, reflecting the existing inventories built up in the 2023 campaign;
As planned, new plantations at the Rio Frio and Baliza estates that were initiated in 2023 will be extended into the beginning of the year;
More efficient technologies to improve processes, ranging from forestry to the manufacturing and selection of cork discs, will continue to be developed.

Volume declines were the main reasons for the evolution of sales, even though these benefited from product mix improvements and price increases;
Negative FX effect: at constant exchange rates, sales decreased 9.8%;
All segments and most wine markets showed pressure on volumes, reflecting mainly the effects of de-stocking; the still wine segment outperformed the other segments, supported by the robust sales growth of Neutrocork, which stood out amongst all stoppers categories;
Increased cork prices and operating deleverage pressured profitability, but the EBITDA margin performed positively, supported by:

Despite trade products evolving positively, sales declined due to the volume performance of manufactured products reflecting very challenging market conditions, namely in the residential segment;
Most product lines showed lower sales , especially those being phased out; new and more sustainable products were launched at the beginning of the year, but their contribution to overall sales was still very small;
Scandinavia and Canada performed positively; sales in all other regions, including Germany, the BU's most important market, showed no signs of a recovery;
Operating deleverage was the main cause of the decline in the EBITDA margin, which was further impacted by:

Modest sales performance as price increases compensated the impact of volume decline and a worse product mix;
Two segments - Resilient & Engineered Flooring Manufacturers and Distributors of Flooring & Related Products - showed the biggest increases in sales, reversing the poor performance of 2023; major sales declines in the Multi-purpose Seals & Gaskets, Construction Special Retail and Rail segments;
Positive contribution from existing partnerships (Amorim Sports, Corkeen, Korko), whose sales totalled 1.8 M€;
EBITDA margin benefited from lower non-cork raw material prices and improved industrial efficiency, which more than offset the negatives impacts from:

Sales declines were mostly driven by volumes performance, despite benefiting from a marginal increase in prices;
Cork consumption prices have been pressuring EBITDA margin since 2022, further impacted by:
-5 0 .0 % -4 0 .0 % -3 0 .0 % -2 0 .0 % -1 0 .0 % 0 .0 % 1 0. 0 % 2 0. 0 % 3 0. 0 % 4 0. 0 %
› Higher operating costs, namely increased electricity costs and amortisations;
Contexts of high cork prices typically have a significant impact on the BU's margins, as expanded insulation corkboard being highly sensitive to cork prices, as its manufacture uses only cork as a raw material;
Profitability is expected to be restored as cork prices normalise after two years of significant increases.
