CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

World economic growth is projected to have slowed in the third quarter of 2023. At the same time, pressure on prices will have led to a deceleration in consumption growth and a deflationary trend in production. The economic climate was characterised by continuing geopolitical instability and increased energy prices, developments that will over the long-term impact the downward trend in inflation. Monetary policy remained restrictive despite some early signs of reversal in some emerging economies. China has encountered difficulties in returning to prepandemic growth levels.

The US recorded higher-than-expected growth in economic activity of 4.9% (annualised quarterly increase), the fastest pace of growth in the past two years. The US labour market maintained a positive dynamic and, together with an upward trend in wages, helped sustain private consumption, the main driver of current growth. This evolution was all the more surprising as it occurred alongside the monetary tightening implemented by the Federal Reserve and an increase in market rates, as well as other changes including the lifting of a moratorium on student loans. Once again, developments dispelled the prospect of a recession that had been expected to result from USD interest rates rises.

The Euro Zone registered a contraction in activity the third quarter, following a small expansion in the previous three months. In year-on-year terms, activity rose only marginally (0.1%) after increasing 0.5% in the second quarter. Indicators continue to point to a general contraction in industrial activity and a slowdown in services. The German economy, the largest in the EU, has stagnated in recent quarters and faces structural challenges and cyclical fluctuations. Inflation continued to follow a downward trend, but core inflation faced obstacles in following this trend. A scenario of stagflation is emerging as an increasing threat in Europe.

China recorded an increase in activity of about 4.9% year-on-year, a deceleration compared with the 6.3% registered in the previous quarter.

Corticeira Amorim's consolidated sales totalled €763.2 million in the first nine months of 2023, a decrease of 3.4% compared with the same period of 2022. The reduction in sales in the third quarter was 8.5%. A fall in sales by the Floor and Wall Coverings Business Unit (BU) (-33.4%) had a decisive impact on the evolution of consolidated sales, especially considering that the Cork Stoppers BU recorded sales growth of 1.7%. The exchange rate effect had an impact of €7.8 million. Excluding this effect, sales at the end of the period would have fallen by 2.4%. Sales increased for the Raw Materials (+14.8%) and Insulation (+19.4%) BUs and decreased for the Composite Cork BU (-7.8%).

Consolidated EBITDA totalled €139.8 million in the first nine months, compared with €131.2 million in the same period of the previous year. Despite the negative impact of higher cork consumption prices and personnel costs,

significant savings were recorded in terms of operational costs, particularly due to energy and transport prices. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 18.3% (9M22: 16.6%).

The increase in earnings from associate companies was mainly due to an increase in the contribution from Corchos de Argentina, an associate company which, at the end of 2022, adopted the Euro as its operating currency.

Non-controlling interests ended the period with a lower value than in the same period of 2022 (€8.4 million vs €9.1 million) due to the less positive results of some of subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

After results attributable to non-controlling interests, net earnings totalled €67.0 million, an increase of 4.4% compared with the same period of the previous year.

Despite the generation of cash flows from EBITDA during the first nine months, investment in fixed assets (€65 million), working capital (€96 million) and dividend payments (€27 million) resulted in a €75.5 million increase in net debt to €204.5 million at the end of September.

On August 30, Corticeira Amorim entered into an agreement to acquire 55% of the share capital of the VMD Group SA, which owns three subsidiaries and has its headquarters in Pully, Switzerland, for Swiss francs (CHF) 11.6 million. The acquisition was subject to certain conditions required by the parties, which were fulfilled on October 11. The VMD Group produces and markets corks, capsules, oenological products, barrels and equipment for wine cellars. It employs 34 people. The VMD group recorded a consolidated turnover of CHF19.8 million in the 2022 financial year.

Sales by the Raw Materials BU rose 14.8%, an increase in activity driven by greater demand from the other BUs in the Corticeira Amorim group.

The BU's EBITDA totalled €15.6 million, down from €18.1 million in the same period of the previous year. A reduction in the EBITDA margin (from 11.7% in 9M22 to 8.8% in 9M23) was mainly due to increases in raw material consumption prices and occurred despite an improved sales mix, increased cork yield and lower operating costs (energy, transport, and maintenance and repair).

The BU continues to develop its Forestry Intervention Project at Herdade de Rio Frio and Herdade da Baliza, focusing on new plantations and on increasing the tree planting density in some areas.

The cork campaign was concluded successfully, with quantities and prices increasing significantly, driven by the need to replenish stocks after an atypical 2022 campaign.

The Cork Stoppers BU recorded sales of €593.5 million, an increase of 1.7% compared with the same period 2022, driven by an improved product mix and increased sales prices. Sales increased in all wine segments and in most stopper categories. Neutrocork corks continued to outpace growth in other still wine cork categories. Sales fell 6.5% in the third quarter compared with the same quarter of 2022. This drop reflected increased pressure on volumes resulting from a continued reduction in stocks and consumption, particularly in the lowend wine segment. The exchange rate effect was negative. At constant exchange rates, sales for the first nine months of 2023 would have grown 2.9%.

The EBITDA of the Cork Stoppers BU was €121.8 million (+19.3% compared with the same period of 2022). The EBITDA margin was 20.5% compared with 17.5% in the same period of 2022. This increase reflected increased prices, sale mix improvements, a reduction in energy costs and an improved crushing performance.

An increase in production capacity for cork stoppers for the spirits segment was completed with the inauguration of two new factories in October. The increase in capacity is aimed at strengthening the BU's offer of premium products in this promising segment.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded sales of €70.6 million, a decrease of 33.4% compared with the same period of 2022, reflecting a significant decrease in activity levels resulting from the adverse climate in the markets where the BU operates. Sales decreased for most products and in most regions. Adverse market conditions, particularly in the retail/residential segment, help explain the drop in sales, both for manufactured and trade products, especially for the former.

The BU's EBITDA was negative, totalling -€5.2 million. This compares with a negative EBITDA of -€0.3 million in the same period of 2022. A reduction in operating activity, resulting from lower sales levels, was mainly responsible for the deterioration of the EBITDA margin (which fell from -0.2% at the end of September 2022 to -7.3% at the end of September 2023) despite reductions in energy, transport, and marketing costs.

The installation of new digital printing technology is proceeding as planned. The launch at the beginning of 2024 of more sustainable products with greater added value will be an important milestone, forming the basis for a recovery of profitability as soon as the negative trend in the flooring market, which began in the summer 2022, particularly in Germany, turns round.

Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €86.8 million, a decrease of 7.8% compared with the same period of 2022 (€70.7 million). Although sales benefited from product mix improvements and sales price increases, a reduction in volume sales, particularly in lower-added-value segments, led to the overall drop in sales in the first nine months of 2022.

The most profitable segments outperformed those with lower margins. The largest sales increases were in the Power Industry, Aerospace and Sports Surfaces segments. The biggest drops in sales were in the Distributors of Flooring & Related Products and Resilient & Engineered Flooring Manufacturers segments, reflecting the difficult market conditions previously mentioned in relation to the Floor and Wall Coverings BU.

EBITDA for the period totalled €17.6 million. The EBITDA margin was 0.2% (9M22: 16.2%). The improvement in profitability, despite a reduction in the volumes sold and the higher prices paid for consumption cork, was mainly due to an improvement in the product mix, lower energy costs and a favourable exchange rate effect (at constant exchange rates, the EBITDA margin would have been 18.5%).

Sales by the Insulation BU totalled €14.3 million, an increase of 19.4% compared with the same period of the previous year. Strong sales growth, reflecting higher sales prices and an improved product mix, more than offset the pressure on the volumes sold.

EBITDA was negative, totalling -€0.8 million, compared with a positive €1.0 million in the same period of 2022. The BU's EBITDA is highly sensitive to the price of cork, as cork is the only raw material the BU uses to manufacture its products; As a result, the context of rising cork prices had a significant impact on profitability. The reduction in energy prices and increased crushing yields were favourable, but insufficient to offset the negative impacts mentioned above.

3. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Corticeira Amorim's consolidated sales totalled €637.1 million in the first nine months of 2023, a decrease (- 3.4%) compared with the same period of 2022. As previously mentioned, the reduction in sales mainly resulted from the drop in sales recorded by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU, while sales at the Cork Stoppers BU increased 1.7%.

The reduction in the percentage gross margin, which fell from 52.2% (9M22) to 51.4% (9M23), mainly reflects an increase in the consumption price of the raw material cork.

In terms of operational costs, the increase of about €5.6 million in personnel costs (+4.0%) compared with the same period of 2022 reflects salary increases and an increase in the average number of employees. External supplies and services costs fell by 21.5% compared with the same period of the previous year, mainly due to decreases in electricity costs (-€21.9 million), representing a reduction of 67%, and transport costs (-24%).

In terms of the remaining operating income/cost items that impact EBITDA, the variation was positive, totalling about €4.8 million. It should be noted that the impact of exchange rate differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable, as well as the respective exchange rate risk coverage, included under other operating income/gains, was positive and totalled about €0.6 million (9M22: -€3.7 million).

EBITDA increased 6.6%, totalling €139.8 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 18.3% (9M22: 16.6%).

No non-recurring results were recognised during the first three-quarters of 2023. In the same period of 2022, non-recurring results worth €2.1 million were recognised, mainly resulting from the sale of an investment property and the constitution of impairments (inventories and customers), reflecting a prudent approach to exposure to Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

Compared with the same period of 2022, the Group's financial results worsened, reflecting increases in the cost and the average level of financing.

The earnings of associate companies totalled €3.0 million. The increase compared with the same period of last year (9M22: €1.4 million) was mainly due to an increase in the earnings contributed by Corchos de Argentina, which adopted the Euro as its operating currency from the end of 2022.

As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the value of investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) for 2023 at the end of the year. Thus, any tax gain will be recorded only at the end of 2023.

The value of non-controlling interests fell by 8% compared with the same period of 2022 (€8.4 million vs €9.1 million), reflecting the less positive results of some subsidiaries with non-controlling interests.

After tax on earnings of €25.4 million and the allocation of results to non-controlling interests, net earnings attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €67.0 million, an increase of 4.4% compared with earnings of €64 .2 million for the same period of 2022.

Earnings per share were €0.504 (9M22: €0.482).

In terms of the Group's financial position, assets increased by €220 million compared with December 2022. In terms of individual items, the increase in Inventories (€124 million) stands out. The Cash and equivalents item decreased by €21 million.

The change in Equity (excluding non-controlling interests) mainly reflects the earnings for the period (+€67 million) and the dividends distributed (€26.6 million). The increase in the non-controlling interests (+€4 million) mainly reflects the results of non-controlling interests for the same period.

In terms of liabilities, the increases in interest-bearing debt (+€55 million) and supplier debt (+€43 million) merit highlighting.

At the end of September 2023, the Company's equity totalled €788 million. The financial autonomy ratio stood at 52.9%.

5. PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF FREE RESERVES

Considering that:

  • The company's individual balance sheet, as of the thirtieth of September, two thousand and twenty-three, shows: distributable reserves in the amount of €113,871,396.97 (one hundred and thirteen million, eight hundred and seventy-one thousand, three hundred and ninety-six euros and ninety-seven cents); and legal reserves in the amount of €26,600,000.00 (twenty-six million and six hundred thousand euros);

  • The distribution of distributable reserves is permissible 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 by the articles of association,

  • The solid growth in business activity and the good results recorded over the past few years have enabled Corticeira Amorim to generate increasing cash flows, thus making it possible to distribute "reserves" to the Shareholders without jeopardising the maintenance of an efficient capital structure for the Corticeira Amorim Group;

It is proposed that:

  • 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 by the Shareholders in proportion to their share holdings, to be paid within a maximum period of 20 (twenty) days.

EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, non‐controlling interests, income tax and non‐recurrent results.

The decision to report EBITDA figures 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.

Cork Stoppers BU 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.

Raw Materials BU is, by far, the most integrated in the production cycle of Corticeira Amorim, with 90% of its sales to others BU, specially to Cork Stoppers BU. Main products are bark and discs.

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 antivibratic 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 flooring and insulation products are in Europe and for composites products the USA. 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.
