CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

The world economy began 2022 in a climate of optimism, buoyed by the positive impact of measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic and the gradual redressing of global imbalances, especially in regard to supply chains. Inflation remained a challenging issue, particularly in the US, but it was being kept under control by the monetary authorities against a background of economic growth and a predisposition to tighten monetary policy after an atypical period of expansion. Everything changed, however, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24 and, towards the end of the first quarter, China's use of strong regional confinement measures to control the spread of Covid-19. Geopolitical instability, sharp price increases - particularly of energy (natural gas prices increased 50% on the first day of the invasion) - and the blow to business confidence were the most immediate and conspicuous economic consequences of the beginning of a conflict on European soil, while Western sanctions on Russia caused additional uncertainty for the global economy. Given the evolution of a number of macroeconomic variables, fears of stagflation began to emerge, threatening economic growth and an accelerated rise in inflation.

The US economy was projected to have contracted in the first three months of 2022 compared with the last quarter of 2021 (-0.4%), but to have grown in year-in-year terms. The economic climate was characterised by a sharp aggravation of inflationary pressures and the dynamism of the labour market.

The Eurozone economy, closer to the conflict and more dependent on Russian raw materials, was projected to have grown 0.2% compared with the previous quarter and 5.0% compared to the first three months of 2021. At the beginning of 2022, following a period affected by a wave of COVID-19 and facing the pressure of rising energy prices, the economy showed signs of recovery, but this development was suddenly called into question.

The Chinese economy was forecast to have expanded 4.8% in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 4.0% in the previous three months, apparent evidence of a positive trend. Following unexpectedly harsh measures to contain an outbreak of Covid-19 in Shenzhen and Shanghai, however, and in spite of fiscal and monetary measures, a first-quarter contraction was projected for industry, services and consumption.

The beginning of 2022 at Corticeira Amorim was marked by the acquisition of the SACI group, whose activities began to be consolidated into the Group's accounts from January 1. SACI's first-quarter figures confirmed expectations regarding the evolution of the group, whose main activity is the sale of muselets through its subsidiary ICAS. The SACI group registered sales of €28.2 million in the first quarter and EBITDA of €4.7 million.

The first three months of 2022 were the last quarter comparable with a period significantly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The increase in sales in the first quarter of this year (excluding the change in consolidation perimeter) showed a continued recovery from the drop in sales in the same period of 2021 (+17.9%). The pace of sales growth, however, is expected to decelerate during the rest of 2022, as Corticeira Amorim's activities

were not significantly affected by the pandemic in the corresponding period of 2021. Total sales (including the SACI group) rose 32.0% in the first three months of 2022 to €263.5 million (€235.4 million excluding the perimeter variation).

This first-quarter growth in sales benefitted from the evolution of exchange rats – excluding this effect, sales would have increased 30.8% (16.7% without the change in the consolidation perimeter).

In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stopper BU, which has the greatest weight in Corticeira Amorim's total sales, recorded sales growth of 37.8%. Excluding the change in the consolidation perimeter (the SACI group was integrated into the Cork Stoppers BU), its sales would have grown by 17.8%. The only BU to register a reduction in sales was the Insulation BU, reflecting the robust sales growth it recorded in the first quarter of 2021 (+17.5%). The Raw Materials BU (+14.4%), Floor and Wall Coverings BU (+25.7%) and the Composite Cork BU (+7.0%) all followed the Cork Stopper BU in recording sales growth.

Comparable EBITDA rose 22.7% to €39.4 million, increasing at a faster rate than sales. The EBITDA-sales ratio increased from 16.1% to 16.7%. This reflects the growth in volume sales and improvements in the sales mix. The increase was achieved in spite of a significant increases in energy costs, some non-cork raw materials prices and personnel costs.

The increased earnings of associate companies were largely due to the larger contribution to income made by the associate company Vinolok.

Due to the consolidation of the SACI group, which is 50% owned by Corticeira Amorim, the first-quarter contribution of non-controlling interests had a bigger impact on Corticeira Amorim's net income, totalling €3.0 (1Q21: €1.1 million).

After earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €20.1 million, an increase of 25.9% compared with the first three months of 2021. On a like-for-like basis, the increase in net income would have been 8.6%.

Although fixed asset investments (€14 million) and the first payment related to the acquisition of the 50% stake in SACI (€25 million) were made in the first quarter, net interest-bearing debt at the end of March totalled €46 million, a reduction of €2 million compared with the end of 2021 that reflected strong cash flow generation.

2. OPERATING ACTIVITIES – FIRST QUARTER 2022

The Raw Materials BUrecorded sales growth of 14.4%, an increase in activity driven by higher demand from the Corticeira Amorim group's other BUs.

EBITDA totalled €7.1 million, a significant increase compared with the same period of 2021 (€4.2 million). The EBITDA-sales margin increased from 8.6% to 12.6%, due mainly to a strong increase in sales, an improved sales mix and higher cork yields, despite the negative impact of increased spending on energy, transport, conservation, maintenance and personnel.

The BU continues to develop its forestry intervention project by mobilising resources to ensure the maintenance, preservation and enhancement of cork oak forests.

The Cork Stoppers BUrecorded sales of €193.6 million, an increase of 37.8% compared with the same period of 2021. On a like-for-like basis, sales increased 17.8% compared with the first quarter of last year.

This strong sales performance was essentially driven by higher sales volumes, price increases and improvements in the product mix. Sales growth was supported by the exchange rate effect: at constant exchange rates, sales would have increased 36.6% (+16.6% excluding the consolidation of SACI).

Sales growth was recorded in most wine markets, with all wine segments and cork stopper categories performing positively. Strong demand continued for Neutrocork products, which registered double-digit sales growth.

The BU's EBITDA increased to €33.0 million (+34.8% year-on-year). Excluding the consolidation of SACI, EBITDA would have been €28.3 million (+15.7% y-o-y). The EBITDA-sales margin (excluding SACI) remained almost unchanged (17.1% vs 17.4% in the same period of 2021). Increased business activity and the improved product mix offset an increase in energy, personnel and non-cork raw material costs as well as lower grinding yields.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded sales of €38.4 million, an increase of 25.7% compared with first three months of 2021. Higher volume sales of both manufactured and trade goods contributed to this growth. Strong sales performances in Scandinavia and Germany, the BU's most important markets, and Portugal were particularly notable. Sales of the Amorim WISE product range increased to €4.0 million (1Q21: €3.5 million), while new product sales rose to €3.9 million (1Q21: €2.1 million). These products accounted for 21% of the BU's total sales (1Q21: 19%).

EBITDA totalled €1.0 million, down from €2.1 million in the same period of 2021. The EBITDA-sales margin decreased from 7.0% to 2.5%. The main causes of this decrease were increased non-cork raw materials prices and higher energy, transport and marketing costs (the latter mainly related to the "Walking on Amazing" campaign).

Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €29.1 million, an increase of 7.0% compared with the same period in 2021 (€27.2 million). Sales growth was driven by improvements in the product mix and price increases, with positive developments in most countries. The exchange rate effect also favoured the increase in sales. At constant exchange rates, sales would have increased 4.6%.

The largest increases in sales were in the following segments: Aerospace, Distributors of Flooring & Related Products, Mobility and Multi-purposes Seals & Gaskets. The main decreases in sales occurred in the Cork Specialists, Heavy Construction and Cork & Cork Rubber Manufacturers segments.

The BU's newly created joint ventures (Amorim Sports, Corkeen and Korko), whose sales increased to €1.1 million (1Q21: €0.9 million), made a notable contribution to the overall increase in sales.

EBITDA in the first quarter was €3.9 million. The EBITDA-sales margin increased to 13.5% (1Q21: 4.9%). The increase in profitability, despite higher raw material prices and operating costs (especially energy) was mainly due to an improvement in the product mix, better grinding yields and a favourable exchange rate effect (at constant exchange rates, the EBITDA-sales margin would have been 12.1%).

Sales by the Insulation BUtotalled €3.4 million, a decrease of 2.8% compared with the same quarter of 2021. It should be noted that the BU recorded strong sales growth in the first quarter of 2021 (+17.5%), making the comparison basis particularly demanding. Sales evolved positively in most markets, especially France and Italy.

First-quarter EBITDA was €760,000, compared with €806,000 in the same period of 2021. The EBITDA-sales ratio remained robust (22.0%) despite deceasing slightly in comparison with the same period of the previous year (22.7%). The margin remained stable despite increased operating costs (mainly reflecting higher energy prices) due largely to lower cork consumption prices, cork use optimisation, increased industrial efficiency and an improved product mix.

3. CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

As previously mentioned, the increase in sales reflected the effect of the change in the consolidation perimeter resulting from the integration of the SACI group. Excluding this change, sales rose 17.9%.

The change in the gross margin percentage, which increased from 50.0% to 53.7%, reflects higher volume sales, implemented prices increases and the favourable exchange rate effect.

In terms of operating costs, the increase of about €5.5 million in personnel costs (+15.1%, excluding the perimeter change) compared with the first quarter of 2021 was mainly due to an increase in the average number of employees. External supply and services costs rose 44.1% (excluding the perimeter change) compared with the same period of the previous year, due mainly to increases in the cost of electricity (+€8 million, an increase of 203%) and transport (+30%).

The change in other operating income/cost items that impact EBITDA was also negative, in the amount of approximately €0.1 million. It should be noted that the result of exchange rate differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable and the respective currency risk hedges included in other operating income/gains was negative and amounted to around -€0.3 million (1Q21:-€1.0 million).

EBITDA increased 37.2% to €44.1 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 16.7% (1Q21: 16.1%). Excluding the SACI effect, EBITDA increased 22.7% to €39.4 million.

Non-recurring results totalling €3.0 million were recognised in the first quarter, mainly reflecting impairments (inventories and accounts receivable) resulting from a prudent approach to exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Financial results exceeded those recorded in the same period of 2021.

The earnings of associate companies totalled €1.3 million. The year-on-year increase (1Q21: €0.7 million) was mainly due to the Group's share of the earnings of Vinolok (€1.3 million), whose contribution was lower in the same period of last year (€0.5 million).

It will only be possible, as usual, to estimate the value of investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) for 2022 at the end of the year. Thus, any tax gain will be recorded only at the closing of the 2022 accounts. The final decisions regarding SIFIDE for 2020 were recognised in the first three months of 2022.

Non-controlling interests increased year-on-year (€3.0 million vs €1.1 million), reflecting the impact of including the SACI group (€1.2 million) in the first-quarter accounts.

After €6.3 million in corporate tax and the allocation of results to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €20.1 million, an increase of 25.9% compared with the €16.0 million allocated in the first quarter of 2021. On a like-for-like basis, results would have been €17.3 million (an increase of 8.6% y-o-y).

Earnings per share were €0.151, compared with €0.120 in the first quarter of 2021.

In terms of the Group's financial position, assets increased by €122 million compared with December 2021. A significant part of the increase was due to the consolidation of the SACI group. Excluding this change, assets would have increased by a residual €6 million.

The increases under the Accounts recevaible item (€18 million as a result of the increase in turnover) and Other assets (€20 million, mainly due to advances for raw material purchases) were of particular note. Inventories decreased by €21 million, reflecting their usual evolution in the first quarter. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €31 million, strongly impacted by the partial payment (€25 million) for the acquisition of 50% of the SACI group.

The change in Equity (excluding non-controlling interests) was essentially due to net income for the period (+€20.1 million). The increase in non-controlling interests (+€48 million) reflects the consolidation of the SACI group.

In terms of changes under Liabilities, mention should be made of the recognition of the debt arising from the amount to be paid for the acquisition of the SACI group (€25 million). This amount is expected to be paid by the end of the first half of 2022.

Equity stood at €693 million at the end of March 2022. The financial autonomy ratio rose to 57.7%.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. INTRODUCTION

At the beginning of 1991, Corticeira Amorim, S.A. was transformed into CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., the holding company for the cork business sector of the Amorim Group. In this report, CORTICEIRA AMORIM will be the designation of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., and in some cases the designation of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S. together with all of its subsidiaries.

Acquisition of SACI Group

As communicated to the market on January 11, 2022, Corticeira Amorim, through its subsidiary Amorim Cork, SGPS, S.A., reached an agreement to acquire 50% of the share capital of SACI S.r.l. ("SACI Group"), headquartered in Ivrea (near Turin), for €48.7 million. The SACI Group was owned in equal parts by the Getto (Italy) and Perlich (Germany) families. Consisting of 17 companies operating in various sectors, the SACI group's main activity is the production and sale of muselets. It has a team of around 340 employees and is present in more than 30 countries.

Corticeira Amorim believes that it controls the Saci Group by holding 50% of the voting rights. This assessment occurs because Corticeira Amorim has assigned responsibilities that allow it to direct the relevant activities of the Saci Group. These activities include, among others, the supply chain, the distribution network and management reporting. This ability to direct relevant activities includes establishing operating and capital budgets and appointing relevant managers or service providers.

The group chooses to measure non-controlling interests by their respective share in the assets and liabilities of the acquiree.

These companies were incorporated in the consolidated financial statements as from 1 January 2022.

Acquired company's assets and liabilities

At March 31, 2022, no significant differences were identified between the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. The fair value analysis of tangible and intangible assets will be finalised within 12 months from the acquisition date. The goodwill amounting to 11.3 M€ represents the remaining amount that could not be identified in the acquired company and corresponds to synergies and complementary activity of Corticeira Amorim. The goodwill recognised in the accounts is not expected to be tax deductible.

The Saci Group's contribution to Corticeira Amorim's results was as follows: sales: €28.2 M, EBITDA: €4.7 million and EBIT: €3.5 million.

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU. EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, non-controlling interests, income tax and non-recurring results.

Provisions and asset impairments were considered the only relevant non-cash material cost.
