Translation of consolidated financial statements originally issued in Portuguese. In case of discrepancy the Portuguese version prevails.

The first quarter of 2024 was characterised by a sharp revision of expectations regarding the conduct of monetary policy in the G7 economies. The US case stands out: the seven 0.25% interest rate cuts discounted early in the year were followed by a further three rate cuts in 2024. In the Eurozone the trend was similar, though on a lesser scale. Economic growth is estimated to have reached 4.0% quarter-on-quarter (2.5% in the previous quarter), supported by the contribution of the US, although with additional help from China.
The US was affected by a slowdown in economic activity, with private consumption falling from the 3.3% recorded in the previous quarter to 2.5% in this period, though this would not have been the main cause of the slower pace of economic growth. Rather, net exports and lower stocks would have decisively contributed to the final figure.
The Eurozone was estimated to have recorded growth of 0.3% in the first three months of 2024 compared with the previous quarter, exceeding all expectations, and ending the technical recession that the region had been experiencing. A highlight was Germany, which appears to have overcome its phase of economic contraction.
The consolidated sales of Corticeira Amorim totalled €234.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, down 9.7% year-on-year, mainly due to lower sales volume.
All Business Units (BUs) experienced pressure on sales, except Amorim Cork Composites, whose sales grew slightly to €27.5 million (+0.6% year-on-year). The sales of Amorim Cork (-10.4% year-on-year), which accounted for 77% of consolidated sales, were penalised by lower volumes across all segments, despite the BU benefitting from improvements in its product mix and the introduction of higher prices.
Notably, the exchange rate effect in the first quarter was almost neutral; excluding this impact, first quarter sales would have fallen by 9.2%.
Sales by the other BUs fell 7.8% at Amorim Florestal, 4.6% at Amorim Cork Insulation and 16.5% at Amorim Cork Flooring.
Consolidated EBITDA totalled €43.7 million, compared with €47.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. The consumption of raw material cork acquired at higher prices and the negative impact of operational deleveraging played a decisive role in this reduction. Amorim Cork and Amorim Cork Composites were the BUs that stood out in terms of improved profitability during the period, reflecting, among other factors, lower non-cork raw material costs and improved industrial efficiency. The consolidated EBITDA margin was 18.6% (1Q23: 18.4%).
The earnings of associate companies and non-controlling interests fell by 13.7% and 23.2% respectively compared with the same period of 2023.
After results attributable to non-controlling interests, Corticeira Amorim closed the first quarter of 2024 with a net result of €16.1 million, down 32.4% year-on-year. This evolution reflects the inclusion of the non-recurring costs relating to the short-term implementation of an industrial optimisation plan at Amorim Cork Flooring (€4.0 million) as well as increased financial charges due to rising interest rates and a higher level of indebtedness.
At the end of March, net interest-bearing debt fell to €236.7 million (12M23: €240.8 million), despite increased working capital needs (€25.7 million) and increased investment in fixed assets (€12.4 million).

The Amorim Florestal BU recorded sales of €234.7 million, down 7.8% year-on-year. This downturn in activity was due to lower demand from Corticeira Amorim's other BUs.
EBITDA totalled to €3.9 million, less than in the same period of the previous year (€7.9 million). The lower EBITDA margin (down from 11.7% in 1Q23 to 6.3% in 1Q24) mainly reflects higher raw materials prices and a lower level of activity, despite an improved sales mix and lower operating costs (essentially maintenance and repair and transport).
After two years of atypical cork campaigns, a return to normal is expected in 2024. Cork consumption prices should nevertheless remain at high levels in the coming months, reflecting inventories built up in the 2023 campaign.
The BU continues to develop the Forestry Intervention Project at the Herdade de Rio Frio and Herdade da Baliza, with the plantings begun in 2023 extended into early 2024.
The BU will continue to develop more efficient technologies to improve processes, from forestry to the making and selection of cork discs.
The Amorim Cork BU recorded sales of €183.7 million, down 10.4% year-on-year.
A decrease in volume sales was the main reason for the drop, despite product mix improvements and higher sales prices.
The exchange rate effect also had a negative impact; at constant exchange rates, sales would have fallen by 9.8%.
The consolidation of the VMD group added €5.8 million to sales.
The quantities sold fell in all segments and in most wine markets, reflecting the effects of lower stocks in the value chain. The still wines segment surpassed the other segments, supported by strong sales growth for Neutrocork, which outpaced all other stopper categories.
The BU's EBITDA was €41.1 million (€41.4 million in the same period of 2023). The EBITDA margin rose to 22.4% (20.2% in the same period of 2023). Higher cork prices and lower operational activity put pressure on profitability, although the EBITDA margin performed positively, supported by an improved product mix, lower transport costs, higher industrial efficiency and lower prices for non-cork raw materials.
The Amorim Cork FlooringBUrecorded sales of €21.5 million, down 16.5% year-on-year. Despite the positive evolution of trade product sales, total sales fell due to lower sales of manufactured products, which reflected very challenging market conditions, namely in the residential segment. Most product lines saw sales fall, especially those that are being discontinued. At the beginning of the year a number of new more sustainable products were launched, although their contribution to overall sales remained small.
The Scandinavian and Canadian markets performed positively in terms of sales. But sales in all other regions, including Germany, the BU's most important market, showed no signs of recovery.
The EBITDA of the Amorim Cork Flooring BU was negative, totalling €3.1 million, compared with a negative EBITDA of €1.2 million in the same period of 2023. A lower level of operational activity was the main cause of the lower EBITDA margin, which was also impacted by falling prices, marketing expenses (mainly the production of marketing tools for new products) and electricity costs.
Non-recurring costs of €4 million were recognised, relating to an industrial optimisation plan that will be implemented at the the BU in the coming months. The European flooring market faces significant limitations: sales fell nearly 20% in 2023; the economic climate in the construction sector is unfavourable, with more intense competition from Asian producers; while substantial losses led major sector players to implement cost-cutting
measures. The activity of Amorim Cork Flooring has also been affected by these adverse conditions, leading to it posting losses in recent years, which were aggravated in the first few months of 2024. It has thus become necessary to adjust it costs tructure to reduce operating losses and boost efficiency through industrial optimisation. In a first phase, this involves adjusting production and support structures to current sales volumes.
Sales by the Amorim Cork Composites BU totalled €27.5 million, up 0.6% year-on-year. In terms of sales, higher prices compensated for lower volumes and a less favourable product mix.
In terms of segments, the biggest sales increases occurred in the Resilient & Engineered Flooring Manufacturers and Distributors of Flooring & Related Products segments; the biggest decreases were in the Multi-purpose Seals & Gaskets, Construction Special Retail and Rail segments.
The positive contribution of the BU's joint ventures, whose sales totalled €1.8 million, were of particular note.
The BU's first-quarter EBITDA totalled €5.2 million. The EBITDA margin was 18.8% (1Q23: 16.6%). Despite lower volume sales, the higher prices paid for raw material cork and the operating costs of electricity, maintenance and repair, the improved level of profitability mainly reflects the lower prices paid for non-cork raw materials and increased industrial efficiency.
Sales by the the Amorim Cork Insulation BU totalled €4.1 million, down 4.6% year-on-year. The drop-in sales reflect a decrease in volume sales, even though sales prices were marginally increased.
EBITDA were negative and stood at €1.0 million, compared with the negative €0.83 million recorded in the same period of 2023. The BU's EBITDA is extremely sensitive to the price of cork, as it uses only cork as a raw material in making its products; the climate of higher cork prices consequently had a major impact on the BU's profitability. The EBITDA margin was also penalised by decreased activity and higher operating costs; an increase in electricity costs was also notable.

As previously stated, the drop-in sales (-9.7%) reflects lower sales recorded in all BUs except Amorim Cork Composites.
Despite the higher consumption price of raw material cork, the positive change in the gross margin percentage (from 52.5% in 1Q2023 to 56.0% in 1Q2024) reflects the impact of production changes and greater operational efficiency.
In terms of operating costs, the increase of nearly €1.1 million in staff costs (+2.6% year-on-year) is explained by salary increases and the perimeter effect (consolidation of the VMD Group). Third party supplies and services fell 4.1% year-on-year, mainly due to a decrease in transport costs (-23.4%). Electricity costs were nearly 22.6% higher than in the same period of the previous year.
In the other operating income and cost items that impact EBITDA, the variation was unfavourable and totalled almost €0.3 million. The result of exchange rate differences for assets receivable and liabilities payable and the respective exchange rate risk coverage, included in other operating income/costs, was negative, totalling almost €0.3 million (1Q23: -€0.6 million).

EBITDA decreased by 8.8% to €43.7 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 18.6% (1Q23: 18.4%).
As explained above, in this quarter €4 million of non-recurring results were recognised at the Amorim Cork Flooring BU.
Compared with the same period in 2023, financial results worsened, reflecting increases in the cost and average level of financing.
The earnings of associate companies totalled €1.4 million, less than in the same period of the previous year (1Q23: €1.3 million).
As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the value of 2024 investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) at the end of the year. Accordingly, any tax gain will only be recorded when the 2024 accounts are closed.
The value of non-controlling interests fell compared with the same period in 2023 (€2.4 million versus €3.1 million).
After tax on earnings of €5.3 million and the allocation of results to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €16.1 million, 32.4% less than the net earnings of €23.8 million recorded in 1Q23.

Earnings per share were €0.121(1Q23: €0.119).
In terms of the Group's financial position, assets increased by €13 million compared with December 2023. By item, there were notable increases in Trade receivables (€19 million) and Other Financial Assets (€13 million). The Inventories item decreased by nearly €24 million, in line with the usual variation at the end of the first quarter.
The change in Equity (excluding non-controlling interests) is basically due to the earnings for the period (+€16 million). The increase in Non-controlling Interests (+€1 million) reflects the result for the period attributable to non-controlling interests.
In terms of liabilities, interest-bearing debt (-€5 million) and Trade payables (-€33 million) were notably lower. Conversely, there was an increase in Other Financial Liabilities (+€20 million).
At the end of March 2024, equity stood at €816 million. The financial autonomy ratio rose to 57.2%.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, S.A. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1st 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 31, 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.
Corticeira Amorim´s 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.
