CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

The global economy showed signs of slowing down in the third quarter of 2024, with a weakening of the main economic indicators. The month of August was marked by instability in financial markets and stock market declines. Inflation decreased, leading the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in September. In the Eurozone there was a second cut of 25 basis points in the key interest rates of the European Central Bank.

GDP in the Eurozone increased by 0.9% year-on-year, with Ireland and Spain showing the highest growth rates. Germany avoided a recession, despite deceleration in the industrial sector. In the US, GDP grew by 0.7% quarteron-quarter and 2.7% year-on-year, sustained by consumer spending and increased public expenditure, especially on defence. These factors significantly contributed to maintaining the economy's dynamism throughout the year and ensuring a resilient labour market.

Corticeira Amorim's consolidated sales totalled €726.2 million in the first nine months of 2024, down 4.8% on the same period of the previous year, mainly due to lower sales volumes. It is nevertheless important to highlight the positive sales growth in the third quarter, up 0.7% compared with the 7.1% decline recorded in the first half of the year. The exchange rate effect in the first nine months was almost zero; excluding that effect, sales would have fallen by 4.7%.

All Business Units (BUs) experienced pressure on sales, except Amorim Cork Composites, whose sales rose to €90.8 million (+4.6% year-on-year). The sales of Amorim Cork (-4.4% year-on-year) were negatively impacted by reduced volumes across all segments, although they benefitted from improvements in the product mix.

Sales by the other BUs compared with the same period of 2023 fell -1.1% for Amorim Florestal, -12.9% for Amorim Cork Insulation and -10.1% for Amorim Cork Flooring.

Consolidated EBITDA totalled €127.6 million in the first nine months of the year, compared with €139.8 million in the same period of the previous year. The consumption of cork raw materials acquired at higher prices and the negative effects of operational deleveraging were decisive for that reduction. The consolidated EBITDA-sales ratio was 17.6% (9M23: 18.3%).

Earnings from associate companies and non-controlling interests respectively fell by 20.8% and 12.4% year-onyear.

After results attributable to non-controlling interests, Corticeira Amorim closed the first nine months of 2024 with net earnings of €47.8 million, down 28.6% year-on-year. This reduction reflects the non-recurring costs of short-term implementation of an industrial optimisation plan and reassessment of the market offering of products in Amorim Cork Flooring, as well as increased financial charges resulting from higher interest rates and a higher level of indebtedness.

At the end of September, net interest-bearing debt fell to €214.1 million (12M23: €240.8 million), despite dividend payments (€26.6 million), increased working capital requirements (€5.3 million) and investment in fixed assets (€31.9 million).

2. OPERATING ACTIVITIES - FIRST NINE MONTHS 2023

The Amorim Florestal BU recorded sales of €175.4 million, down 1.1% year-on-year. This decrease in activity was due to lower demand from the other Corticeira Amorim BUs.

EBITDA totalled €8.7 million, lower than in the same period of the previous year (€15.6 million). The lower EBITDA margin (down from 8.8% in 9M23 to 4.9% in 9M24) was primarily due to lower cork yields resulting from the lower-than-expected quality of some batches, the higher consumption price of raw materials, a less favourable product mix, reduced activity and increased operating costs; the higher electricity and personnel costs stand out in particular.

The cork purchasing campaign ended, confirming a normalisation of prices after two years of substantial cork price inflation. Quantities were below initial expectations due to lower levels of demand.

The inventories from the 2023 cork campaign will last beyond December; cork consumption prices should therefore remain at high levels in the coming months.

The Amorim Cork BU recorded sales of €567.9 million, down 4.4% year-on-year. In the third quarter its sales increased 2.3%, reversing the trend in the first half of the year.

The main reason for the reduced sales was lower volume sales, despite improvements in the product mix. The exchange rate effect had a negligible impact; at constant exchange rates the drop in sales would have been 4.2%. The consolidation of the VMD Group added €13.9 million to sales.

Sales volumes decreased across all segments and in most wine markets, reflecting the effects of reduced stocks in the value chain. The underperformance of spirits was mitigated by a comparable period of strong growth in 2023.

The BU's EBITDA totalled €114.4 million (€121.8 million in the same period of 2023). The EBITDA margin was 20.1% (20.5% in the same period of 2023). Higher cork prices and electricity costs and reduced operating activity put pressure on profitability. The EBITDA margin remained relatively stable, supported by an improved product mix, lower transport costs, greater industrial efficiency and lower non-cork raw material prices.

The partial reversal of a provision (€2.2 million) for industrial reorganisation of an Amorim Cork subsidiary was recognised in non-recurring gains.

The Amorim Cork Flooring BU recorded sales of €63.5 million, down 10.1% compared with the same period of 2023. The challenging conditions affecting the flooring market in Europe continue to negatively impact demand for manufactured products, the main cause of the drop in the BU's sales, despite the positive trend in trade product sales.

Sales declined in most product lines, particularly those being discontinued, as well as in most markets, except Scandinavia and some of the BU's smaller markets.

The Amorim Cork Flooring BU posted a negative EBITDA of €4.3 million, compared with a negative EBITDA of €5.2 million in the same period of 2023. Reduced operating activity was the main cause of the lower EBITDA margin, which was also impacted by a less favourable product mix and higher marketing and electricity costs.

The European flooring sector faces a relatively challenging climate: sales fell nearly 20% in 2023; the economic climate in the construction sector is also unfavourable; competition from Asian producers has intensified; and significant losses led major sector players to take steps to cut costs. Amorim Cork Flooring's activity has also been impacted by these adverse conditions, the BU recording losses in recent years that worsened in 2024. It therefore became necessary to adjust its cost structure to reduce operating losses and boost efficiency through industrial optimisation, starting with an adjustment of production and support structures to meet current sales volumes.

Non-recurring costs of €4 million were recognised, associated with the restructuring measures inherent to the industrial optimisation plan being implemented by the BU. Additionally, €3.5 million were recognised in non-

recurring costs in relation to the decision to reassess the BU's offering of new products, as those costs mainly relate to marketing tools, inventory impairments and product development.

Sales by the Amorim Cork Composites BU totalled €90.8 million, up 4.6% year-on-year. This increase in sales, particularly in the third quarter, reflects an improved product mix, increased prices and higher activity levels.

In terms of segments, the biggest sales increases occurred in Resilient and Engineered Flooring Manufacturers, Footwear and Sports Surfaces, while the biggest declines occurred in Heavy Construction, Cork Specialists and Rail.

The BU's EBITDA for the period was €17.2 million (€17.6 million in the same period of 2023). The EBITDA margin was 18.9% (20.2% in the same period of 2023). Despite the drop in the EBITDA margin, it remains at a high level, supported by structural modifications of the product mix over the last several years and benefiting from industrial efficiencies and lower prices of non-cork materials.

Profitability was negatively impacted by higher cork prices and increased operating expenses (especially electricity, personnel and maintenance and repair).

Sales by the Amorim Cork Insulation BU totalled €12.4 million, down 12.9% year-on-year. The drop in sales reflects the lower volume sales, despite a marginal increase in prices.

The BU's EBITDA was a negative €2.3 million, compared with a negative €0.8 million in the same period of 2023. This BU's EBITDA is highly sensitive to the price of cork, as it only uses cork as a raw material in making its products; the climate of higher cork prices consequently had a major impact on profitability. After two years of significant increases in cork prices, it is estimated that an expected price normalisation will support the BU's margins at the end of the year; a more sustainable recovery of the margins will depend on increasing volume sales.

3. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

As stated previously, the drop-in sales (-4.8%) was due to lower sales across all BUs except Amorim Cork Composites.

The change in the gross margin percentage was positive, rising from 51.4% to 52.8%. This change mainly reflects the increase of market sales prices and the effect of non-cork raw material consumption provisioned at lower prices.

Regarding operating costs, the nearly €3.6 million increase in personnel costs (+2.5%) over the same period of 2023 is explained by the consolidation perimeter effect (consolidation of the VMD Group) and by salary increases. Supplies and external services fell by 0.7%. The decline in items such as transport (-15.7%) more than compensated for the increase in items such as electricity (+25.5%). Impairment reversals totalled €0.3 million over the period, compared with €1.7 million in the same period of the previous year.

In terms of the other operating income/cost items that impact EBITDA, the variation was negative by about €1.9 million. The result of exchange rate differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable and the respective exchange rate risk coverage included in other operating income/gains was notably positive, totalling nearly €1.1 million (9M23: -€0.6 million).

EBITDA was 8.7% lower year-on-year, totalling €127.6 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 17.6% (9M23: 18.3%).

As explained above, in this quarter €7.5 million of non-recurring costs were recognised at the Amorim Cork Flooring BU and €2.2 million of non-recurring income at the Amorim Cork BU.

Compared with the same period of 2023, financial results declined, reflecting an increase in the cost and average level of financing.

The earnings of associate companies totalled €3.1 million, falling compared with the same period of the previous year (9M23: €4.0 million).

As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the value of the 2024 investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) when the financial year ends. Hence, any tax gain will be recorded only when the 2024 accounts are closed.

The value of earnings from non-controlling interests fell compared with the same period of 2023 (€7.4 million versus €8.4 million).

After tax on earnings of €18.8 million and the allocation of results to non-controlling interests, net earnings attributable to Corticeira Amorim's shareholders totalled €47.8 million, 28.6% less than the net earnings of €67.0 million recorded in 9M23.

Earnings per share were €0.360 (9M23: €0.504).

In terms of the Group's financial position, assets were up €23 million over December 2023. In terms of items, the increase in cash and equivalents (€23 million) stands out.

The change in equity (excluding non-controlling interests) was essentially due to earnings for the period (+€47.8 million) and distributed dividends (€26.6 million). The change in the non-controlling interests item was due to the earnings for the period attributable to non-controlling interests, compensated by the dividends distributed to those non-controlling interests.

In terms of liabilities, the reduction in regard to suppliers (-€17 million) is noteworthy; it was compensated by the increase of other current financial liabilities (+€7 million) and income tax (+€14 million) due to an increase in estimated taxation.

At the end of September 2024, the Group's equity stood at €823 million. The financial autonomy ratio was 57.2%.

5. PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF FREE RESERVES

Considering that:

  • The individual balance sheet of the company, as at the thirtieth of September two thousand and twenty-four, shows:

  • distributable reserves in the amount of €98,293,880.68 (ninety-eight million, two hundred and ninety-three thousand, eight hundred and eighty euros and sixty-eight cents),

  • and legal reserves in the amount of €26,600,000.00 (twenty-six million, six hundred thousand euros),

  • The distribution of distributable reserves is admissible provided that the company's equity, as shown in the aforementioned interim balance sheet, is not less than the sum of the share capital and reserves whose distribution to Shareholders is not permitted by law and the articles of association,

  • Corticeira Amorim has been demonstrating a consistent ability to generate sound operational cash flows, which allows it to distribute "reserves" to its Shareholders without compromising the maintenance of an efficient and balanced capital structure.

Shall propose:

That the Shareholders approve the distribution of distributable reserves in the amount of €11,970,000.00 (eleven million, nine hundred and seventy thousand euros), equivalent to a gross amount of €0.09 (nine cents) per share, to be distributed among the Shareholders in proportion to their holdings, payable within a maximum period of 20 (twenty) days.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, S.A. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3rd QUARTER 2024

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU. (*) EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, non-controlling interests, income tax and non-recurrent results. Provisions and asset impairments were considered the only relevant non-cash material cost.

The decision to report EBITDA figures (excluding non-recurring operational results – see note 27, which due to its materiality or nature could distort Corticeira Amorim's financial performance, as well as its comparability), 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.

Amorim Cork 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.

Amorim Florestal is, by far, the most integrated in the production cycle of Corticeira Amorim, with 90% of its sales to others BU, in particular the sale of cork boards and disks to the Amorim Cork.

The remaining Business Units produce and sell a wide range of products that use the raw material left over from the production of stoppers, as well as the cork raw material that is not susceptible to be used in the production of stoppers. Main products are cork floor tiles, cork rubber for the automotive industry and anti-vibration 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 Amorim Cork Flooring, Amorim Cork Insulation and for Amorim Cork Composites are in Europe. 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.

6.ATIVITY DURING THE YEAR

Corticeira Amorim sales are composed by a wide range of products that are sold through all the five continents, over 100 countries. Due to this notorious variety of products and markets, it is not considered that this activity is concentrated in any special period of the year. Traditionally first half, specially the second quarter, has been the best in sales; third and fourth quarter switch as the weakest one.
