CORTICEIRA AMORIM CONSOLIDATED 30-09-2022 (non audited)

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

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

The year of 2022 began in a climate of optimism for the world economy, founded on the positive impact of measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic and the gradual normalisation of global supply chain imbalances. The third quarter was marked by expectations, successively postponed, that the steady rise in consumer prices would peak, possibly reflecting the impact of the monetary restrictions that most central banks had decided to implement. At the same time, a sharp rise in natural gas prices affected economic activity and had a direct impact on Europe, dropping slightly only at the end of the period.

Geopolitical instability arising not only from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but also from China's restrictive Covid-19 measures and worsening global financial conditions, dominated the third quarter. A number of economic indicators reflected this deterioration, with a depletion of the capital growth that had been expected postpandemic. While economic activity expanded strongly as summer began, the end of the summer season and the approach of winter brought other fears, leading to a downward revision of expectations and other adjustments.

The US Federal Reserve led the way in terms of monetary adjustment, but the European Central Bank also adopted an aggressive stance during the third quarter, opting to front-load monetary adjustment measures. Interest rates moved upwards, with implicit rates anticipating further increases in the coming months.

The acquisition of the SACI group marked the first nine months at Corticeira Amorim, its operations having been consolidated into the Group's accounts since the beginning of the year. The SACI group's main activity is the production and sale of muselets through its subsidiary ICAS. Its performance in the first nine months confirmed growth expectations, with sales reaching €88 million, while EBITDA totalled €16.3 million, as the company maintained the level of profitability achieved in the first half of the year during the third quarter as well.

Corticeira Amorim's consolidated sales (including the SACI group) rose 24% in the first nine months of 2022, compared with the same period of 2021, totalling €790.3 million (€702.7 million excluding SACI).

Excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, sales increased 10% over the first nine months of 2022 - 18% in the first quarter, 8% in the second and 5% in the third. It should be noted, however, that the first three months were the period when sales growth reflected the most significant impact of comparison with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in the previous year. As the pandemic ceased to impact Corticeira Amorim's activity so seriously, it was to be expected that sales growth would slow in the second and third quarters of 2022.

In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stoppers BU, the BU with the most weight in Corticeira Amorim's total sales, recorded the strongest growth, at 28.2%. Excluding the impact of the change in the consolidation perimeter (the SACI group is integrated into the Cork Stoppers BU), the BU's sales would have increased 9.0%.

The Group's other BUs also registered sales increases. Sales by the Raw Materials BU sales rose 7.8%; by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU, 14.2%; the Composite Cork BU, 8.2% and the Insulation BU, 12.2%. This growth reflects an improvement in the product mix, higher sales prices and volume growth. All BUs, except Floor and Wall Covering, registered sales growth in the third quarter.

Consolidated EBITDA totalled €131.2 million, an increase of 18.9% compared with the first nine months of 2021. Increases in the cost of electricity, some non-cork raw materials and personnel continued to put pressure on operating results, a fact aggravated in the third quarter by a lower operating leverage compared with the two previous quarters. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 16.6% (9M21: 17.3%). Comparable EBITDA increased 4.1% to €114.9 million.

The earnings of associate companies fell below the level of the same period of 2021, due mainly to the impact of hyperinflation on Corchos de Argentina.

As a result of consolidating the SACI group, which is 50% owned by Corticeira Amorim, non-controlling interests increased their contribution to the Group's net income, which totalled €9.1 million at the end of the first nine months (9M21: €7.3 million) .

After results attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €64.2 million, an increase of 10.6% compared with the same period of the previous year. On a comparable basis, the increase in net income would have been 3.4%.

At the end of the period, net interest-bearing debt totalled €113.5 million, an increase of €65 million compared with the end of 2021. Dividend payments (€27 million), fixed asset investment (€52 million), the first payment for the acquisition of the 50% stake in the SACI group (€49 million), payments for the 50% stake in Cold River Homestead, which owns a part of the Herdade do Rio Frio estate (€15 million), and payment for land in another part of Herdade do Rio Frio (€22 million) were the main factors contributing to this increase, which was offset by the amount of EBITDA generated.

2. OPERATING ACTIVITIES - FIRST NINE MONTHS 2022

Sales by the Raw Materials BU grew 7.8%, reflecting an increase in activity driven by higher demand from the other BUs in the Corticeira Amorim group.

EBITDA totalled €18.1 million, marking a significant increase compared with the same period of the previous year (€13.8 million). The increase in the EBITDA-sales margin (from 9.7% to 11.7%) was mainly due to higher levels of activity, an improved product mix and better cork yields, which more than offset the increase in operating costs, mainly those of electricity, personnel and transport.

The cork purchasing campaign was concluded at levels significantly lower than in 2021, due mainly to unfavourable weather conditions. As expected, prices increased due to strong demand. Pressure also led to increased prices in the secondary market.

The full consolidation of Cold River Homestead (Herdade do Rio Frio), which, until the end of the first semester, was an associate company, also deserves mention. In regard to the forestry intervention project, significant investments will be made in the coming years to increase productivity and profitability by means of new plantations and increases in tree density, using innovative processes and technologies.

The Cork Stoppers BU recorded sales of €584.2 million, an increase of 28.2% over the first nine months of 2021. The consolidation of the SACI group added €87.6 million in sales. On a like-for-like basis, sales increased 9.0% compared with the same period of 2021.

This strong sales growth was driven by higher levels of activity, an improvement in the product mix, price increases implemented at the beginning of the year and the positive impact of exchange rates (excluding the exchange rate effect, sales would have increased 26.1%, while, excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, they would have grown 6.9%). Sales increases were recorded for all cork stopper segments and a majority of cork stopper categories – especially Neutrocork stoppers, which continue to show strong growth. Sales performance was positive in most countries, particularly in Europe.

The BU's EBITDA rose to €102.1 million (+21.2% year-on-year). Excluding the effect of consolidating the SACI group, EBITDA would have been €85.8 million (+1.9% y-o-y). The EBITDA-sales margin (excluding the SACI group) decreased compared with the same period of the previous year (17.3% vs 18.5% in the first nine months of 2021). Raw material prices, operating costs (notably energy and personnel costs) and cork crushing income continued to put EBITDA margins under pressure.

Sales by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU totalled €106.0 million, an increase of 14.2% compared with the same period of 2021. Price increases and an improved mix underpinned sales growth, despite a drop in volumes in some markets, a trend that was particularly noticeable from July onwards. Solid sales growth in Scandinavia and Portugal was of particular note. The balanced growth between sales of trading products and manufactured products also deserves mention, the former having contributed most to sales growth. In terms of manufactured products, the increased sales of Amorim WISE products (€11.1 million vs. €10.0 million in the same period of 2021) and of new products (€15.9 million vs. €10.0 million) stands out.

The BU recorded a negative EBITDA of -€0.3 million, compared with €4.3 million in the same period of 2021. The EBITDA-sales margin fell from 4.6% to -0.3%. Increased prices for non-cork raw materials, lower operating leverage, and cost increases for energy, transport (especially in the Asian market), marketing (mainly associated with the "Walk on Amazing" campaign) and personnel all contributed to this decrease.

Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €94.1 million, an increase of 8.2% compared with the same period of 2021 (€87.0 million). Most markets where the BU operates recorded sales growth, driven by price increases, an improved product mix and favourable exchange rates. In the United States, the market with the greatest weight in the BU's sales, sales benefited from the appreciation of the US dollar. Excluding this effect, sales would have increased 4.8%.

The Aerospace, Multi-purposes Seals & Gaskets, Heavy Construction and Mobility segments continued to improve in performance, supporting a significant improvement in the product mix. Distributors of Flooring & Related Products, Footwear, Cork Specialists and Office Products were the segments where sales declined the most. The BU's joint-ventures, Amorim Sports, Corkeen and, more recently, Korko, continued to show dynamic sales growth (10% higher than in the same period last year), remaining an important growth engine.

EBITDA for the period was €15.2 million. The EBITDA-sales margin increased to 16.2% (9M21: 8.9%). The improvement in profitability, despite higher operating costs (especially for energy, cork and non-cork raw materials), was mainly due to an improvement in the product mix, price increases and improved crushing yields. At constant exchange rates, the EBITDA-sales margin would have been 16.5%.

Sales by the Insulation BU totalled €11.9 million, an increase of 12.2% compared with the same period of 2022. Sales growth benefited from increased sales prices. The positive evolution of sales in most of the BU's markets, especially France and Italy, was particularly noteworthy.

EBITDA totalled to €1.0 million, compared with €2.1 million in the same period of last year. The EBITDA-sales ratio decreased to 8.6 % (9M21: 19.7%), negatively impacted by pile closures, higher cork consumption prices and increased operating costs (mainly higher energy prices), despite the BU having benefited from improved cork yields and industrial efficiency gains.

3. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The increase in sales was positively impacted by the change in the consolidation perimeter following the integration of the SACI group. Excluding this change, sales would have increased 10.3%.

The increase in the gross margin percentage on sales, which rose from 49.6% (9M2021) to 52.2%, reflects the impact of favourable exchange rates, the increase in sales volumes and price increase introduced by Corticeira Amorim.

In terms of operating costs, the increase of approximately €30 million in personnel costs (+27.5% vs +12.8% compared with the same period of 2021 and excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter) was mainly due to an increase in the average number of employees. The cost of external supplies and services increased 31.5% (excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter) compared with the same period of the previous year, due to the increased cost of electricity (+€17 million, an increase of 130%) and transport (+€11 million).

The remaining operating income and cost categories that affect EBITDA evolved unfavourably, amounting to about €2.6 million.

EBITDA increased by 18.9% to €131.2 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 16.6% (9M21: 17.3%).

Non-recurring earnings in the first nine months mainly refer to the sale of an investment property and the constitution of impairments (inventories and customers) that reflect the Group's prudent approach to exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Financial results were slightly above those recorded for the same period of 2021.

Income from associate companies totalled €1.4 million, down y-o-y (9M21: €2.8 million). Despite improved earnings, for the associate company Vinolok (€2.1 vs. €1.7 million), the impact of hyperinflation on the associate company Corchos de Argentina prevented an increase in the earnings of associate companies overall.

As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the amount of 2022 investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) at the end of the year. As a result, the potential tax gain will only be recorded at the closing of accounts for 2022. In the first nine months of 2022 the definitive decisions relating to SIFIDE benefits in 2020 and partially for 2021 were recognised. The definitive SIFIDE decisions for 2019 and 2020 are expected to be received in 2022.

Earnings from non-controlling interests increased y-o-y (€9.1 million vs €7.3 million), reflecting the impact of the SACI group (€4.4 million) on the accounts for the first nine months of 2022. Non-controlling interests in the same period included the relevant share of the capital gain from the disposal of real estate belonging to the subsidiary Indústria Corchera.

After tax on earnings of €23.4 million and the allocation of earnings to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €64.2 million, an increase of 10.6% compared with comparable earnings of €58.0 million in the same period of 2021.

Earnings per share were €0.482, compared with €0.436 in the first nine months of 2021.

In regard to the Group's financial position, total net assets increased €237 million compared with December 2021. A significant part of this increase reflects the consolidation of the SACI group. Excluding this change in the consolidation perimeter, total assets would have increased €105 million.

In regard to individual items and excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, the increases under Customers (€16 million as a result of increased turnover), Inventories (€47 million due to seasonal effects) and Other Assets (€23 million due mainly to advances for raw material purchases) deserve highlighting. The Cash and Cash Equivalents item decreased by €37 million, reflecting the strong impact of the payment made for 50% of the SACI group.

The change under Equity (excluding non-controlling interests) was mainly due to earnings for the period (€64 million) and distributed dividends (€26.6 million). The increase under Non-Controlling Interests (+€48.1 million) mainly reflects the consolidation of the SACI group.

In terms of changes under Liabilities and excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter, the increases under Suppliers (€40 million resulting from inventory increases) and for gross interest-bearing debt (€33 million) also merit highlighting.

At the end of September 2022, equity totalled €722 million. The financial autonomy ratio rose to 54.8%.

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-one, shows: distributable reserves in the amount of €102,190,333.34 (one hundred and two million, one hundred and ninety thousand, three hundred and thirty-three euros and thirty-four 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.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, S.A. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3rd QUARTER 2022 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.

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.
