CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENTREPORT

1. SUMMARY of ACTIVITY

The third quarter of 2020 was marked by the positive impact of the end of confinement after the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic and a strong return to economic activity. Both were supported by the fiscal, monetary and administrative measures implemented during the worst phase of the pandemic. The trend was stronger at the beginning of the quarter before gradually weakening. The holiday season drove tourism, principally benefiting that attract thelargest flows of summer visitors (northern). The persistence of the pandemic, however, dampened the positive reaction that businesses had hoped for. As the health situation worsened and what became known as the second wave of the pandemic began, the end of the third quarter was characterised by a return of uncertainty.

The US is expected to have registered a sharp recovery in the third quarter, reflecting a robust positive contribution from consumption and residential and business investment. Even so, the US economy emerged smaller than it was a year ago and below its pre-pandemic level.

China, which was hit by the pandemic earlier, is estimated to have strengthened the pace of recovery observed since April.

The Euro Zone economy, in turn, is projected to have grown in the third quarter, recovering from the contraction observed in the previous six months. In year-on-year terms, the Euro Zone economy will have contracted, but its evolution was nevertheless a positive surpassing forecasts to become to emerge as the strongest quarterly growth registered since the European Monetary Union was created. Fiscal and administrative measures taken by the different EU executive bodies contributed to this result.

Portugal is projected to have expanded strongly in the third quarter, correcting the severe contraction registered in the previous two quarters due to the containment measures then in place.

After a second quarter affected by highly unfavourable market conditions, Corticeira Amorim's business activity improved from July to September, a period when it also benefited substantially from its geographical diversification. It is important to note that if, until the end of March, the Covid-19 pandemic had no negative impact on the company's turnover, the reduction in the second quarter was significant.

The third quarter showed an improvement compared with the second quarter. However, uncertainty and unpredictability remain high, making it difficult to assess the scale of the direct impact of the pandemic in the future. The evolution and spread of the virus, as well as a possible need to implement measures, will determine the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and on consumption patterns and, consequently, on Corticeira Amorim's business.

In regard to the measures adopted by Corticeira Amorim and the impact of the pandemic on the company, what was reported in the management report and accounts published on June 30 remains generally accurate:

  • the temporary closure of some customers, but no uniform behaviour in the different markets where Corticeira Amorim operates. There were no significant interruptions in the Group's operations and, although some adjustments were made, commercial and production activities remained at normal levels.

  • there has been an exceptional response from employees, who have ensured, even at the most difficult times, that the company continues to operate normally and that customers continue to be supported in the way, Corticeira Amorim has fulfilled its important responsibility to ensure that the wine sector supply chain is kept fully supplied, doing everything possible to maintain production and continue serving its customers, even during periods of confinement.

  • Corticeira Amorim benefited from its geographical diversification, but the spread of the virus and the containment measures adopted by different countries had a significant impact on the world economy, leading to profound changes in consumption patterns and, consequently, affecting the Group's activities.

  • the expenditure control measures the Group adopted had an impact on results, although logistical costs (specifically air freight) increased as the company sought to ensure business continuity and customer service. Other measures, including a revision of investments, management of working capital and maintaining a solid balance sheet, sought to mitigate the potential negative impacts that could arise depending on how long the pandemic lasts.

  • another consequence of the current situation of all plans for celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Corticeira Amorim Group that had not already been implemented.

Operating activities - first nine months of 2020

In the first three quarters, Corticeira Amorim recorded a 5.2% reduction in sales, which totalled €571 million. Sales performed differently in the different quarters: +0.7% in 2Q20 and -5.5% in 3Q20. These variations reflect the differing impacts on the behaviour of companies and consumers as the pandemic evolved. These impacts continued in the third quarter, but were not as significant as in the second quarter.

The exchange rate effect (mainly due to a devaluation of the Chilean peso) penalised sales would have fallen only 4.4%.

In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stoppers BU, the unit that has the greatest weight in Corticeira Amorim's total sales, registered a 5.6% drop (a 6.0% decrease in the third quarter). The Floor and Wall Coverings BU succeeded in reversing a recent trend of decreasing sales, ending the first nine months with sales growth of 4.0%. The Raw Materials (-10.9%), Composite Cork (-7.8%) and Insulation Cork (-15.6%) BUs recorded reductions in sales in comparison with the same period of 2019.

EBITDA decreased by 2.0% to €94.9 million, less than the 5.2% drop in sales ratio increased from 16.1% to 16.6%. This mainly reflected a decrease in the consumption price of raw materials, sales price increases and operating efficiency gains. These offset the impact of the fall in turnover and the increase in operating costs (in particular transport costs and larger impairment costs).

The fallin associate company earnings was mainly due to the recognition during the equivalent period of 2019 of the positive impact resulting from the receipt of the final amount from the sale of US Floors (€2.4 million). Recognition of the Group's share of the earnings of the associate company Vinolok (€1.2 million in the first nine months of 2019) helped compensate for this impact.

After earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, net profit totalled €48.5 million, a reduction of 10.8% compared with the first nine months of 2019. Excluding the above mentioned non-recurring event related to the sale of USFloors, net income would have fallen 6.8%.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES 2.

Sales by the The Raw Materials BUfell 10.9%. The decrease reflected both a drop in sales to Group companies, due to their realigning inventory levels, and in sales to third parties.

EBITDA totalled €10.8 million, a reduction with the same period of the previous year (€16.0 million). The decrease in the EBITDA margin, from 10.3% to 7.8%, was mainly due to an increase in the price of cork consumption. In the comparing period the cork acquired in 2017 was consumed,wich price was lower than the cork acquired in 2018. A comparison of the EBITDA-sales ratio for the first nine months of 2020 (7.8%) with that of the third quarter of 2019 (7.9%), when only cork purchased in 2018 was consumed, shows alignment in terms of the BU's profitability,

The final quantities acquired in the 2020 cork purchasing campaign were below expectations due decreased demand. The price reduction was around 10%.

In terms of innovative projects, special mention should be given to the extension of CorkNova technology (eradication of TCA from natural cork discs) to all production in 2020. This technology offers additional guarantees in the treatment of discs, constituting an important step towards achieving the highest standards of sensory quality. An automation project is also under way with the aim of simplifying the preparation process (cork classification), a step that will result in important productivity gains.

The Cork Stoppers BUregistered sales of €407.9 million, areduction of 5.6% compared to the same period of 2019. Sales fell 6.0% in the third quarter. Sales were penalised by a drop in wine consumption in the collapse of tourism, a drastic reduction in air travel and the temporary closure of the BU's customers. The negative impact of the current situation has not been offset by the growth registered in some countries in the department, nor by the on-line channel.

The cork stoppers for sparkling wines among those that registered the biggest reductions in sales (-10%). Sales reductions in the Champagne region and to cider producers were significant in this segment. The cork stoppers for still wines segment showed greater resilience (-4%), especially Neutrocork stoppers, of which sales grew 13%. Cork stopper sales in the spirits segment recovered in the third quarter after a significant drop in the first nine months were similar to those in the same period of 2019.

All major wine markets recorded reductions in sales except for the US and Argentina.

Sales of NDtech® service stoppers totalled 50 million units (9M19: 43 million units). It should be noted that implementation of a technology that will guarantee the eradication of TCA will enable Corticeira Amorim to differentiate itself even more from its competitors.

The BU's EBTDA remained at practically the same period of 2019 at €78.3 million (€78.5 million in the first nine months of 2019). The EBITDA margin rose to 19.2% (9M19: 18.2%). Despite a reduction in business activity and an increase in operating expenses, the EBITDA margin increased, due mainly to improvements introduced in the operational area, specifically regarding raw material use in thegrindingarea, as well the introduction of price increases.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU posted sales totalling €86.2 million, an increase of 4.0% in comparison with the same period of 2019. Sales of Amorim WISE products rose to €9.6 million in the first nine months, more than the total sales for this range in the full 12 months of 2019 (12M19: €5.7 million), Sales of new products totalled €3.4 million, reflecting the launch of a new water-resistant, low-cost product that is expected to generate additional sales in this segment.

In terms of sales growth by geographical regions, North America and Portugal deserve highlighting.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU registered a positive EBITDA of €10 million, despite it having been negatively affected by the recognition of impairments relating to accounts receivable. This compares with a negative EBITDA of €2.2 million recorded for the same period of 2019. The margin generated by the growth in sales together with rationalisation and

optimisation measures relating to administrative, industrial, logistics and commercial structures contributed to this evolution, as did the non recording of expenditures inherent to the Amorim WISE product launch (which affected the first nine months of 2019). An improvement in the mix of products sold, supported by an increase in sales of manufactured products higher than the increase in sales of trading products, was also noteworthy.

Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €72.6 million, a decrease of 7.8% compared to the same period of 2019 (€78.8 million). This was mainly due to a reduction in volumes sold and a less favourable sales mix.

The main sales increases were in the Sport Surfaces and Home Improvement Retail segments, the principal reductions in the Footwear and Construction Speciality Retail segments.

Two recently created partnerships Amorim Sports (sports surfaces) and Corkeen (playgrounds) had a positive contribution.The sales of new products was positive (+€5.0 million) and showed a higher level of profitability than the average for remainder of the BU's portfolio.

EBITDA for the first nine months totalled €7.1 million. The EBITDA margin fell to 9.8% (9M19: 11.4%), affected by the reduction in activity. Higher cork yields, increased efficiency and reduced operating costs (travel, marketing maintenance) prevented the decline from being more significant.

Sales by the Insulation BU totalled £8.8 million, a reduction of 15.6% in comparison with the same period of 2019 and mainly the result of a reduction in volumes sold. Containment measures in some important markets such as France and the migration from ERP to SAP in June also had a negative impact on sales.

EBITDA for the first nine months totalled €0.6 million compared with-€38,000 in the same period of the previous year. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 6.9% (9M19: -0.4%). The improvement in EBITDA was driven by the consumption of cork purchased at lower prices, lower personnel costs (reduced overtime) and external services. Cork is the only raw material used by the BU, making its EBTDA extremely sensitive to price changes and cork yields

3. PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Corticeira Amorim's sales were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with Floor and Wall Coverings being the only BU where sales grew in the first nine months. As previously mentioned, the exchange rate effect penalised sales were not affected by the change in the consolidation perimeter.

The increase in the percentage gross margin, which rose from 48% to 51%, reflects increased operational efficiency and improvements in the mix of products sold.

In terms of operating expenses, the reduction of about €1.2 million in personnel expenses in comparison with the same period of 2019 (-1.1%) was mainly due to a decrease in the amount of overtime worked and a reduction in the number of employees. Supplies and external service costs were up 0.7% on the first nine months of 2019. The increase in transport costs (+10.5% due to an increase in air freight) was partly offset by a reduction in publicity and advertising costs (-35.3%) and in spending on travel and accommodation (-47.3%). The impairments recorded (+0.9 million) were mainly in the accounts receivable category, with about half of the impairment of a Floor and Wall Coverings BU customer in Belgium.

In terms of the other income/cost items that affect EBITDA, a favourable balance totalling about €1.7 million was recorded. The impact of exchange rate differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable together with the respective exchange rate risk hedges included under other operating income/gains was negative in the amount of approximately €0.8 million (9M19: -€0.5 million).

EBITDA deceased by 2.0% to €94.9 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 16.6% (9M19: 16.1%),

Over the nine-month period, €1.7 million in non-recurring results resulting from compensation for restructuring were recognised. These expenditures were recognised by the Cork Stoppers (€843,000), Composite Cork (€550,000) and Floor and Wall Coverings (€259,000) BUs.

Financial results improved compared to the same period of 2019 (-€1.2 million versus -€1.3 million) mainly due to the amount ofinterest earned.

Income from associate companies for the nine-month period totalled €1.8 million. The reduction in relation to the same period of 2019 (9M19: €5.7 million) was mainly due to the recognition as earnings in 2019 of the final part of the contingent amount receivable from the sale of US Floors (€2.4 million). The reduction was partly offset by recognition of the Group's share of the earnings of the associate company Vinolok (€1.3 million), which only began to contribute to results from July.

ln regard to income tax, it will not be possible to estimate the amount of investment tax benefits (RFAl and SIFIDE) for 2020 at the end of the year. The eventual tax gain will be recorded only when the 2020 accounts are closed. In the mean time, the definitive decision relating to SIFIDE benefits in 2018 have been booked and the final tax for 2019 recognised.

After tax on earnings of €15.3 million and the allocation of profits to non-controlling interests, the total net income attributable to Corticeira Amorim shareholders was €48.5 million, a reduction of 10.8% on the income of €54.4 million recorded for the first nine months of 2019.

Earnings per share were €0.365, compared with €0.409 in the same period of 2019.

In regard to the Group's financial position, total assets increased by €34 million in comparison with December 2019. In terms of individual items, the increase in other debtors (€14 million) and cash equivalents (€21 million) items were of particular note. The changes in the remaining items were residual.

The change in equity (+€21 million) mainly reflects the earnings for the period (+€48.5 million) and the dividends paid.

Liabilities increased by €13 million. The increases of €18 million relating to suppliers (seasonal effect) and €17 million relating to tax on earnings (based on the estimated tax due) along with the €22 million reduction in gross interest-bearing debt are also of note.

At the end of September 2020, the Group's shareholder equity totalled €560 million. The financial autonomy ratio was 54.5%.

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU.

EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, nor-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 negotiation 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.
