The economic recovery observed in the first half of 2021 continued in the third quarter, benefiting from a favourable global context. Progress with Covid-19 vaccination programmes, especially in developed and wealthier emerging economies, together with the continuation of favourable monetary and fiscal conditions, were critical factors in the recovery. The pace of activity appears to have peaked in economies such as China, the United States and even the European Union. However, uneven growth following the sharp slowdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the world economy.
The volatility and lowerreliability of supply chains characterises the current situation, there being sufficient cause to raise concern over the normal functioning of economic activities. There are fears that if all goods in transit were accounted for, the relationship between demand and supply would be found to be out of balance. At the same time, expectations of an increase in the rate of inflation are growing, leading some central banks to begin (or to announce for the near future) a normalisation of monetary policy.
The US is projected to have already returned to pre-pandemic levels of economic activity, but continues to register a slow recovery in terms of its labour market. US growth slowed significantly in the third quarter, from an annualised quarterly rate of 6.7% to 2.0%. Lower mobility due to the spread of the Delta variant during the summer, a lack of components for the car industry and a reduction in fiscal support have impacted economic activity. Growth in the Eurozone was estimated at 2.1% between July and September, having decelerated in Germany - clearly reflecting supply chain difficulties - and Spain, while evolving positively in France, Italy, Belgium and Austria.
Corticeira Amorim maintained the same pace of sales growth in the third quarter as it recorded in the second, both quarters having as their comparison in 2020 periods that were fully impacted by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Consolidated sales increased 13.3% in the third quarter and 11.5% over the first nine months, compared with the same periods of 2020. Sales in the first quarter were down 2.0% compared with same period of 2020; and up 5.7% on the first nine months of 2019.
In the first nine months of 2021, Corticeira Amorim's sales totalled €637.1 million, an increase of €65.7 million compared with the same period of 2020. The increase reflects the reduction in restrictive measures that countries implemented to contain the spread of the pandemic, with profound consequences for global economies and consumption patterns. Several uncertainties remain, however, and are only likely to dissipate when the effectiveness of the continuing vaccination process is assured. The increase in Covid-19 infection rates, as witnessed in Europe in October, confirms the need to maintain a prudent attitude in regard to the prospects for an unrestricted return to normal activity across different economic sectors.
The exchange rate effect (related to the depreciation of the US dollar) penalised sales growth in value terms – excluding this effect, sales in the first nine months would have increased 12.7%.
All Business Units (BUs) increased sales, particularly the Cork Stopper (+11.7%), Floor and Wall Coverings (+7.7%), Composite Cork (+19.8%) and Insulation (+20.4%) BUs, which managed to reverse the downward trend in sales seen at the end of 2020 and show robust growth in their activity levels.
EBITDA increased 16.3% to €110.3 million, while the EBITDA-sales ratio rose to 17.3%, a significant increase compared with the 16.6% recorded in the same period of the previous year. The exchange rate effect, lower cork yields, a less favourable product mix, price increases for some non-cork raw materials and a significant rise in transport costs restricted the degree of improvement in the EBITDA-sales ratio.
In the third quarter, the company recognised the capital gain made from the sale of real estate belonging its Industria Corchera subsidiary, which was partially offset by the recording of goodwill impairments.
After results attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €58.0 million, an increase of 19.6% compared with the same period of 2020.
Sales by the Raw Materials BUincreased 3.7% in the first three-quarters compared with the same period of 2020. Sales were strongest in the third quarter (+11.8%). This was to be expected in a context of significant sales growth by the Group's downstream BUs and following the realignment of their inventory levels. Particularly noteworthy was the recovery of the BU's activities North Africa, where adjudications had previously been postponed.
EBITDA totalled €13.8 million, an increase of 28.2% compared with the same period of the previous year (€10.8 million). The increase in the EBITDA-sales margin (from 7.8% to 9.7%) resulted from a increased efficiency (including an increase in the volumes produced), which more than offset the increase in costs, namely of electricity, transport and maintenance and repair.
The 2021 cork purchasing campaign was completed without being significantly impacted by the pandemic. The volumes purchased were similar to those in 2020. In terms of price/quality there was a slightly increase of purchasing price.
Corticeira Amorim acquired 50% of Cold River's Homestead, SA, which owns a number of agroforestry assets and is part of the Herdade de Rio Frio estate, with aim of advancing the Group's Forestry Intervention Project. The strategic goals of the project are to ensure the maintenance, preservation and enhancement of cork oak forests and to guarantee the continuous production of high quality cork. The company has also entered into an agreement with Parvalorem, SA to purchase the remaining 50% of Cold River's Homestead - subject to the verification of a number of requirements - in a deal expected to be completed in the near future.
The Cork Stopper BU recorded sales of €455.6 million, an increase of 11.7% on the same period of 2020 and representing 72% of Corticeira Amorim's total consolidated sales. At constant exchange rates, the BU's sales would have increased 12.7%.
The BU is benefiting from a strong recovery in volume sales, the most important driver of its overall sales growth, together with an improvement in its product mix. Sales increased across all segments and in all geographic regions, with Europe being the main driver of growth.
EBITDA rose to €84.2 million (+7.5% y-o-y). The EBITDA-sales margin decreased to 18.5% (9M20: 19.2%). The BU benefited from the growth in sales volumes. The weakness of the dollar, price increases for some noncork raw materials, increases in transport and energy costs and lower crushing yields were the main causes of the decline in the EBITDA-sales ratio. At constant exchange rates, the EBITDA-sales margin would have been 19.0%, slightly below the level of the same period of 2020.
The Floor and Wall Coverings BU registered sales of €92.9 million, an increase of 7.7% in comparison with the same period of 2020. Amorim WISE and recently launched products continued to perform strongly.
The North American and Scandinavian markets continued to perform positively. Germany was negatively impacted by the plant closures that took place at the beginning of the year as a result of measures to combat Covid-19. The Russian market was impacted by depreciation of the rouble.
EBITDA totalled €4.3 million, up from €1.0 million in the same period of the previous year. The EBITDA-sales margin rose from 1.2% to 4.6%. A consistent reduction in operating costs, the result of efforts to restructure and reduce the break-even level, supported an improvement in the BU's profitability. However, significant increases in transport and energy costs and in the prices of some non-cork raw materials continue to pressure profitability. A decrease in impairment levels also merits highlighting.
The Composite Cork BU posted solid sales growth in the first nine months. Compared with the same period of 2020, sales increased 19.8% to €87.0 million, despite the negative impact of US dollar depreciation (excluding this effect, sales would have risen 22.5%). Sales increased across all segments, with Footwear, Flooring Distributors and Cork Specialists standing out for making the largest contributions to growth. The BU's new products, applications and newly created joint ventures (Amorim Sports and Corkeen) continued to perform strongly, together contributing €12 million in sales.
EBITDA totalled €7.7 million. The EBITDA-sales margin fell to 8.9% (9M20: 9.8%). Despite the increase in business activity, the unfavourable exchange rate environment (at constant exchange rates the EBITDA margin would have risen to 10.7%), a significant rise in the cost of some non-cork raw materials as well as in transport and energy costs resulted in a drop in the EBITDA-sales margin compared with the first nine months of 2020.
Sales by the Insulation BU totalled €10.7 million, an increase of 20.4% compared with the same period of the previous year. This was mainly due to an increase in sales volumes and an improvement in the product mix. US dollar depreciation had an unfavourable impact on the BU's sales – excluding this effect, sales would have increased 21.1%. Turnover was driven by a recovery of business activity in the BU's most important European markets.
EBITDA totalled €2.1 million (9M20: €630,000), while the EBITDA-sales ratio rose to 19.7% (9M20: 6.9%). In addition to the one-off impact of pile closures, other factors contributing to growth include an optimisation of cork use and greater industrial efficiency.
Sales were not impacted by any change in the consolidation perimeter. Corticeira Amorim's sales in the same period of 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As previously mentioned, the first nine months of 2021 saw a recovery of the sales lost in the same period of the previous year. In addition, sales were also up 5.7% on the first nine months of 2019.
The drop in the percentage gross margin on sales, which decreased from 50.9% (9M2020) to 49.6%, reflects the unfavourable exchange rate effect and an increase in the consumption price of non-cork materials.
In terms of operating costs, the increase of about €4.1 million in staff costs (+3.8%) compared with the same period of 2020 was mainly due to an increase in the average number of male and female employees in response to increased business activity. The cost of external supplies and services increases 6.6% compared with the same period of 2020 due mainly to increases in the cost of transport (+19.7%) and electricity (+23.4%). The reversal of impairments (€2.1 million) related mainly to accounts receivable, largely at the Amorim Cork Flooring and Amorim Cork Itália subsidiaries.
Other operating income and cost items that impact EBITDA evolved favourably, totalling approximately €2.6 million. The impact of exchange differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable and the respective hedging of foreign exchange risk, included in other operating income/gains, was negative and amounted to about €0.4 million (9M20: -€0.8 million).
EBITDA increased by 16.3% to €110.3 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 17.3% (9M20: 16.6%).
In terms of non-recurring results, the capital gain form the disposal of the property owned by the subsidiary Industria Corchera was recognised in the third quarter in the amount of €11.7 million (at current exchange rates). As the Group owns 50% of the subsidiary and as the capital gain results in taxes payable, the net effect of the sale, for the purposes of Corticeira Amorim's results, was approximately €4.2 million (at current exchange rates). An impairment of goodwill amounting to about €3.9 million was also recognised in the third quarter, mainly in relation to Group's Elfverson subsidiary.
Financial results fell 19.3% compared with the same period of 2020, reflecting the reduction in average indebtedness.
Income from associate companies totalled €2.8 million. The increase in comparison with the same period of the previous year (9M20: €1.8 million) was mainly due to increases in the contributions from Vinolok (from €1.3 million to €1.7 million) and Trescases (from €0.3 million to €1.0 million).
As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the amount of 2021 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 2021. In the first nine months of 2021 the definitive decisions relating to SIFIDE benefits in 2019 were announced and the final amount of tax due for 2020 calculated.
After tax on earnings of €23.6 million and the allocation of profits to non-controlling interests, total net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders totalled €58.0 million, an increase of 19.6% compared with earnings of €48.5 million in the first nine months of 2020.
Earnings per share were €0.436, compared with €0.365 for the first nine months of 2020.
In regard to the Group's financial position, total net assets increased €89 million in comparison with December 2020. In terms of individual items, increases in the following merit highlighting: clients (€27 million), cash and cash equivalents (€31 million), other debtors (€13 million) and financial holdings (€19 million). The increase in the latter item was mainly due to the acquisition of 50% of Cold River's Homestead, S.A., as previously mentioned. Inventories decreased by €6 million compared with December, reflecting the implementation of measures to improve inventory management and the impact of the reduction in cork prices in recent purchasing campaigns. Changes in the remaining items were residual.
As provided for in the acquisition contract, Corticeira Amorim acquired an additional 10% in Bourrassé in July for €5 million, increasing its holding in the company to 90%.
The change in equity reflects the net earnings for the period (€58.0 million), the payment of dividends (-€24.6 million) and the change in non-controlling interests (€4.7 million). At the end of September 2021, the Group's shareholder equity totalled €616 million. The financial autonomy ratio rose to 56.3%.
Liabilities increased by €50 million. Interest-bearing debt decreased by €49 million. Increases in relation to Suppliers (€71 million), reflecting seasonal impacts, and income tax (€18 million) helped offset the reduction in remunerated debt.
Corticeira Amorim's robust balance sheet, together with the support of financial institutions, ensure an adequate and balanced capital structure.

On 24 June, Corticeira Amorim, through its subsidiary Amorim Florestal II, S.A., reached an agreement with Banco Comercial Português to acquire 50% of Cold River's Homestead, SA, which has a set of assets (movable and immovable property) related to agro-forestry exploitation, which constitutes a part (3,300 hectares) of the so-called Herdade do Rio Frio, located in the Setúbal district, for the total sum of EUR 14,525 K.
Corticeira Amorim has also reached an agreement with Parvalorem, SA, to acquire the remaining 50% of Cold River's Homestead, SA.
As it is widely known, Corticeira Amorim has a Forest Intervention Project underway, which aims to ensure the maintenance, preservation and enhancement of cork oak forests and the development of cork oaks, to increase their production through innovative processes and technologies already tried out in other areas and, in this way, to increase the carbon sink of cork oak forests and contribute to the carbon neutrality of the company and the country. Within the scope of this acquisition, Corticeira Amorim intends to improve the productivity of the agro-forestry activity of Herdade do Rio Frio, namely through densification to be implemented in this unique cork oak forest, with processes already experimented in other locations.
The fair values of assets and liabilities identified under this transaction include essentially the Herdade do Rio Frio. Therefore, the transaction value was attributed to the acquired tangible assets and no goodwill or negative goodwill resulted.

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 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.
