Amorim Cork Composites and Hape Holding AG, the world's leading producer of wooden toys, joined expertise to explore the global market for cork-based toys.
Nominated for the German Sustainability Design Award 2022.

Founded in France, this international organisation created by Amorim, encourages research in winemaking, knowledge about wine and innovation in winegrowing practices.
Celebrations included the conference "Climate change and the challenges for vines and wine", an enriching discussion on one of the key topics currently facing the world of wine: climate change, the ecological balance of the planet and sustainability.
On the occasion, the "Grand Prix Sciences & Recherche" was awarded to Charlotte Brault, for her thesis on the "Optimization of the selection of new varieties using genomic prediction and phenomics".

Independent study* conducted by PwC concluded that the microgranulated stopper produced using Xpür has a -393g CO2eq carbon balance.* *
These results, in addition to providing relevant data on the environmenta contribution of cork products, provide quantifiable information to Amorim Cork 's customers on how to reduce the carbon footprint of their products.
* Life cycle assessment using a cradle-to-gate approach ** Considering sequestration in the cork oak forest and emissions associated with the production of the product

Independent study* conducted by EY revealed that the carbon balances** of Amorim's NRT®62 cork components are of -11.8kg CO2eq/m2 (without a vapour barrier) and of -10.5kg CO2 eq/m2 (with a vapour barrier).
Amorim's NRT®62 flooring components are products supplied by Amorim Cork Composites, especially developed for the flooring industry and an excellent option for flooring manufacturers who aim to strike a balance between technical performance and sustainability.
* Life cycle assessment using a cradle-to-gate approach ** Considering sequestration in the cork oak forest and emissions associated with the production of the product

NASA begins a new cycle of missions to the Moon with a rocket coated with Corticeira Amorim's cork.
NASA's most powerful rocket to date will jump-start the Artemis I program which will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon by 2026.

Founded in 1840, in one of the most historical areas in Central London, this emblematic building is a free church that welcomes thousands of people every year.
Now also with the outstanding comfort and sustainability of a cork floor from Amorim Wise Cork Pure range, that creates an ethereal and relaxing atmosphere aligned with the building's architectural distinctive features.

After four years of work, Serralves' rose garden was restored. Having safety and sustainability as a motto, the ground was covered with granulated cork instead pine bark. Cork was chosen because it is a practically inert material, that does not decompose easily and is resistant to fungus.

Located in Grândola, in the middle of a cork oak forest, the Sobreiras - Alentejo Country Hotel matches its beautiful surroundings with an inviting cork flooring by Amorim Cork Flooring, gathering performance, comfort, health and sustainability.

Amorim Cork was awarded the Sustainable Company Prize by AEP, the Portuguese Business Association.
As a part of AEP's 173rd anniversary celebrations, which have taken place in Porto last September, four companies and one entrepreneur were distinguished for their performances in their activities. In this first edition of AEP's prizes, Amorim Cork was recognized for its sustainability path and commitment.

Strong performance by SACI and organic sales growth, though at a lower pace than at the beginning of the year;

Raw Materials + Cork Stoppers: 74% of sales (9M21: 71%):
Non-recurrent results of 2.1 M€ (9M21: 7.8 M€), resulting from the sale of an investment property (3.2 M€), partially offset by the more prudent approach to exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus;
Non-controlling interests totalled 9.1 M€ (9M21: 7.3 M€); SACI's consolidation had an impact of 4.2 M€;
Net income rose 10.6% to 64.2M€ (9M21: 58.0 M€); excluding the consolidation of SACI, net income rose 3.4%;
Dividends: the Board of Directors will propose an additional dividend of € 0.09/share at the upcoming Shareholders Meeting (December 5).





Values in million euros.
Current EBITDA of the last four quarters



Sales increased 7.8% to 154.5 M€
Activity levels of other BUs impacted sales performance, with positive contributions from cork preparation and disc production;
Despite increased operating costs, the EBITDA margin showed a positive evolution, benefiting from:
Cork purchasing campaign concluded with volumes significantly below those of 2021 mainly due to unfavourable weather conditions; as expected, prices increased on strong demand; inflationary pressures were also noticeable in the secondary market;
Forestry intervention Program: following the acquisitions of Herdade de Rio Frio and Herdade da Baliza (totalling 56.9 ME), investments will be made over the coming years to increase productivity and profitability, namely in new plantations and in increasing tree density in some areas, in part using new forestry models.

9M22

Robust sales growth reflecting SACI's consolidation (9M22: 87.6 ME) and supporte by:
Like-for-like sales growth of 9.0% (6.9% at constant exchange rates);
Sales growth in all wine segments and in most regions, particularly Europe; still wine segment negatively impacted by bottling of high-end wines in the US being affected by the 2020 wildfires;
Positive performance across most categories of cork stoppers, with Neutrocork continuing to show double-digit growth, reflecting strong underlying demand;
Raw material prices, operating costs (namely energy prices and personnel costs) and griding yields kept EBITDA margins under pressure, more than offsetting the gains from the improved product mix and price increases.




EBITDA

Price increases and mix improvements continued to support sales growth, despite the decline in volumes in some markets, a trend particularly noticeable from July;
Sound sales growth in Scandinavia and Portugal; positive sales performance of trade products and manufacturing products, with the former contributing the most to the sales growth;
Sales of recently launched products increased to 15.9 ME (9M21: 10.0 M€); Amorim WISE products remained a driver of sales growth (sales of 11.1 M€ vs. 10.0 M€ in 9M21);
Significant headwinds negatively impact EBITDA margins, particularly:
impairments).


EBITDA

Robust sales across most regions, driven by product mix, pricing and a supportive USD;
Positive performance of most segments, with Aerospace, Multi-purpose Seals & Gaskets, Heavy Construction and Mobility contributing the most to sales growth; major sales declines in Distributors of Flooring & Related Products, Footwear, Cork Specialists and Office Products segments;
lmproved contribution from existing joint-ventures, whose sales totalled 5.8 M€; Korko, the most recent JV, showed a stellar performance (more than 10% of sales), evidencing the attractiveness of the cork-based toys;
lmproved product mix, pricing, better griding yields and a stronger USD supported a significant increase in EBITDA margins, despite the adverse impact of energy prices, raw materials prices (cork and non-cork) and personnel costs;
Favourable FX: at constant exchange rates sales would have increased 4.8% and EBITDA margins would have stood at 16.5%.


Strong sales performance supported by prices increases and a marginal benefit from the strong dollar;
Positive sales performance in France and Italy, important markets for this BU;
Better cork yields and increased industrial efficiency, but EBITDA margins declined, reflecting:
Expanded insulation corkboard uses only cork as a raw material in its manufacture and is therefore highly sensitive to changes in cork prices;
Being a 100% natural product and offering technical performance with virtually unlimited durability, expanded insulation corkboard is especially designed to meet sustainability requirements.
