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

The world economy should register economic growth of around 3.3% in 2020, a moderate increase compared to the estimated 2.9% growth for 2019. These words, written only two and a half months ago, are now distant from reality. We already knew at that time that the first quarter would be prolific in events likely to be deeply destabilising in social, political and economic terms (US military intervention against Iran; the coronavirus epidemic in China). What had not been expected was the rapid, extensive spread of the virus that transformed it into a global pandemic, nor the measures that would be needed to contain the spread of the disease or to ensure that health services had the capacity to respond. Since then the confinement measures, the halt in economic activity and higher costs caused the IMF to alter its forecast and project a drop in global output in 2020 that will make the crisis of 2008/09 look small by comparison.The IMF expects the global economy to contract by 3%, the largest reduction since World War Two. While China has lifted confinement measures, other countries have been forced to take similar steps. The impact of the pandemic is like that of a wave gradually reaching different economies. As some countries experience a reduction in the intensity of their public health crises and of the impact of confinement, others are seeing an increase in precisely the same problems. Even those countries that adopted more moderate confinement measures, such as South Korea and Taiwan, have suffered negative impacts to economies in a sea of confinement. Confronted with the biggest economic crisis since 1930, different authorities rapidly implemented significant and decisive monetary and fiscal measures. And, this time, China chose not to increase economic stimuli to the same level as during the Great Financial Crisis (estimated at 19% of GDP).
The US economy is estimated to have contracted in the first three months of 2020 and is unlikely to rapidly recover the output lost. This is, firstly, because of the structural impact; secondly, because investment in the energy sector is expected to collapse; and, finally, because consumption is unlikely to recover as people fear losing their job or suffering a drop in income.
The Euro Zone is expected to have suffered a year-on-year contraction of 3.3% in the first quarter of 2020 and a contraction of 3.8% compared with the previous quarter. The Euro area is projected to have entered into the beginning of an unprecedented recession, given that initial indicators of the impact of confinement point to an even lower level of activity in the second quarter. Portugal, likewise, experienced an unprecedented contraction in the first quarter.

At a time when Corticeira Amorim was preparing to strengthen the level of growth it had previously been experiencing, benefitting from the important investments it had made, the coronavirus crisis has forced the Group to review a series of carefully planned targets that it had previously set.
From the first moment, Corticeira Amorim joined the collective effort to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, acting with responsibility and solidarity to protect its employees, their families and communities, stakeholders. To ensure this, we sought to establish what were the real and most pressing needs of health institutions and bodies providing social care. The Group has been involved in supporting some of the hospitals and health centres in its area, including Hospital de São Sebastião in Santa Maria da Feira, Hospital de Gaia and Hospital de São João in Porto. It did this through significant donations of personal protection equipment, ventilators and other equipment essential to their proper functioning and the safety of their health professionals.
The Group determined from the outset to adopt the safest possible practices and to continue working. The necessary conditions were rapidly put into place in such a way as to reduce anxiety among those who continued to work on a daily basis. In , a set of measures were implemented that have proved effective and enabled work to continue. A contingency plan was put in place in the industrial units and the distribution network, including a number of wide-ranging measures fundamental to ensuring the wellbeing of all employees, the operation of the different industrial units in a safe way and business continuity. This was the case both in Portugal, with 3,200 employees, of which 120 had to remain within the cordon sanitaire put in place around the town of Ovar for four weeks, and overseas 1,200 employees. employees maintained their normal performance levels and worked as usual to support customers.
Contingency plan measures included the installation of isolation rooms; quarantining employees returning from areas of risk, as well as those who had come into close contact with people with a confirmed coronavirus infection; restricting access to installations; redefining meal spaces and social gathering rules, strengthening work hygiene measures; restricting work travel; activating business continuity plans; and information campaigns.
Corticeira Amorim intends to continue responding, without any interruption, to the needs of its customers across the world by adopting the best and the most appropriate practices at the right moment. Corticeira Amorim introduced teleworking in its administrative and technical structures (about 300 employees). Shift rotation and systems to ensure social distancing at the beginning and end of shifts were implemented in manufacturing units and employees encouraged to respect recommended distances.
Given that Corticeira Amorim is an international company with more than 90% of its sales outside Portugal that is responsible for an activity that is key to the sustainability of the whole cork value chain, the Groups considers it essential to keep the cork supply chain both safe and in operation.
Without the cork stoppersproduced by Corticeira Amorim, thousands of winemakers and bottlers across the world would not be able to operate. In Spain, Italy and California, winemaking is considered an essential activity involving many thousands of people, from winegrowers who tend to the vineyards to those who manage wine cellars. The exceptional regime that the Group adopted enabled our supply chain to continue to serve our customers and to continue working. There were some exceptions regarding cognac and champagne in South Africa, where, due to market disruption and reasons relating to the main operators there, it was necessary to temporarily suspend work.
The pandemic led to the cancellation of sales to the hotel, restaurant and catering (Horeca) sector, sales that were not offset by some sales growth via department stores and online in some countries.
As a result of these factors, wine consumption is expected to drop worldwide, particularly of sparkling wines and champagne. The impact will be felt mainly in terms of sales to higher-value segments, as they have been hit hardest by the shutting of restaurants. These wines will eventually be bottled, but the timing will fall out of step. However, the
guidance given is to move stocks closer to the markets in order to take advantage of a recovery that may begin to take effect in June.
Other units (floor and wall coverings, composite cork and insulation) will feel the impact of the closure of some distribution channels (e.g. DIY) throughout Europe and of a halt to renovation work on many buildings, mainly in the hospitality sector (including hotels, residences and care homes).
There was no negative impact on the volume of business up to the end of March, but a reduction is expected inApril, May and June, despite the fact that industrial units are currently operating close to full capacity. Corticeira Amorim is paying close attention to the issue of customer payments, but in a universe of almost 30,000 customers worldwide, this is a significantly shared risk.
Corticeira Amorim is a sound company with an adequate and balanced capital structure. It ended the first quarter of 2020 with cash and cash equivalents in the amount of 74 million, sufficient to safeguard against any liquidity limitations that may occur. At the end of April, the holding company had 76 million lines of credit available but untapped. iversification policy and practices (not a single product, not a single market, not a single currency) are an additional guarantee of stability.
Corticeira Amorim recorded sales growth of 0.7%, 204 million in the first quarter of 2020. This compares year-on-year with the most robust quarter of 2019 in terms of sales growth (+ 9.2%). Although Covid-19 had already conditioned economic activity to some extent, the Group managed to increase sales in comparison with the same period of the previous year. The foreign exchange effect on sales was immaterial and, in this quarter, the consolidation perimeter was equivalent to that of the first quarter of 2019.
In terms of sales by Business Unit (BU), the Cork Stopper BU, which has greatest weight in the total sales of Corticeira Amorim, registered growth of 1%. The Floor and Wall Coverings BU managed to reverse the downward trend in sales that it had registered in previous quarters and ended the quarter with sales growth of 11%. The Raw Materials (-7.7%), Composite Cork (-6.7%) and Insulation (-12.4%) BUs recorded a decrease in their sales compared to the same period of 2019.
EBITDA increased 2.8% to 35.8 million. Although the company is still consuming cork purchased at higher prices, measures taken to prevent a loss of profitability, specifically in regard to market prices and increased operational efficiency, enabled part of the profitability lost in 2019 to be recovered. It should also be noted that the Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded a positive EBITDA, an indication that the measures taken to reverse its negative performance are beginning to take effect.
As a result, the EBITDA-sales ratio increased over the same period from 17.2% to 17.6%.
At the end of the first quarter, net interest-bearing debt totalled 152.3 million (12M19: 161.1 million).
The decrease in income from associate companies mainly reflected the positive impact of receiving the final amount ( 2.3 million) from the sale of US Floors having been recognised in the same quarter of the previous year. This effect was offset by the recognition of the share of the profits of the associate company Vinolok ( 1.0 million) in the first quarter of 2020.
After earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, net income 9.9 million, an increase of 6.8% compared with the equivalent period of 2019.

The Raw Materials BU recorded a 7.7% drop in sales. The decrease occurred in sales to Group companies, due to a realignment of their inventory levels, and in sales to third parties.
EBITDA 4.7 million, a decrease compared with the same period of 2019 ( 8.3 million). The decrease in the EBITDA margin (from 14.1% to 8.7%) resulted mainly from an increase in the price of cork purchased for consumption. In the same period of last year, the BU used cork purchased in the 2017 campaign at a lower price than in the 2018 campaign. If we compare the EBITDA-sales ratio in the second half of 2019 (6.0%), when the BU exclusively consumed cork purchased in 2018, with the ratio calculated in 1Q20 (8.1%), we see a positive evolution in terms of profitability.
In volume terms, preparation of the 2020 cork purchasing campaign proceeded as planned during the first quarter. Prices fell due to an increase in supply.
In regard to projects, the new technology for producing discs, launched in 2019, is expected to generate improvements in cork yields. The automation project is aimed at simplifying the preparation process (cork classification). The CorkNova project to eradicate TCA from natural cork discs is being extended to all production in 2020. This technology offers additional guarantees in the treatment of discs and represents an important step towards achieving the highest standards of sensorial quality.
The Cork Stopper BU recorded sales of the first quarter of 2019. Early in 2020 and prior to Covid-19, there had been indications of a slowdown resulting from the US-China trade war and the 25% tariffs the US imposed on imports of European wines with an alcohol content of less than 14% alcohol.
Sales increased in the still wines (1%) and sparkling wines (4%) segments, but decreased in the spirits (2%) segment. The Neutrocork stopper segment continues to register notable sales growth (16%). In terms of geographical markets, growth in the US and Italy was strong. In France and Spain, sales fell in relation to the first quarter of 2019.
First-quarter sales of NDtech® service stoppers totalled 14.2 million units (3M19: 13.6 million units). The implementation of technology that will ensure the elimination of TCA by the end of 2020 is proceeding as planned.
The BU's EBITDA rose to 10.4% compared with the same period of 2019). The EBITDA margin increased to 20.5% (3M19: 18.7%). In spite of the impact of higher cork consumption prices, EBITDA growth was supported by an increase in activity, operational improvements, especially in regard to raw material use in crushing operations, and the introduction of price increases.
The Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded sales of 31.5 million, an increase of 11% compared with the first three months of 2019. The AMORIM WISE range of products contributed to this increase with first-quarter sales of 3.0 million (3M19: 0.4 million).
In terms of geographical sales growth, Germany, North America and Scandinavia deserve highlighting.
1.3 million, which compares with a negative EBITDA of 1 million in the same period of 2019. The margin generated by sales growth as well as efforts to rationalise and optimise administrative, industrial, logistics and commercial structures contributed to this evolution. Not having to record any spending related to the launch of the AMORIM WISE product range in this quarter also contributed positively, as these expenses had negatively affected the first quarter of 2019. Other positive factors included an improvement in the sales product mix as well as a bigger increase in sales of manufactured products than in sales of trading products.
Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled 24.9 million, a drop of 6.7% compared with the same period of 2019 ( 26.6 million). The reduction in sales was due to a decrease in the volume of products sold. However, price and exchange rate effects partially offset the impact of the decrease in sales volumes.
The main sales increases were in the Auto and Auto Parts, Resilient & Engineering Manufactures and Industrial Packaging segments; the main reductions occurred in the Building Materials & Fixtures, Cork & Corkrubber manufacturers and Construction Speciality Retail segments.
In terms of markets, sales decreased mostin India, Russia and Italy.
EBITDA for the period was 2.1 million. The EBITDA margin decreased to 8.3% (3M19: 12.2%), influenced by the sales mix (a decrease in sales to segments with higher margins) and an increase in personnel expenses.
Sales of by the Insulation BU 3.0 million, a reduction of 12.4% in comparison with the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to a decrease in sales to Group companies ( 152,000) and a decrease in volumes sold outside the Group.
EBITDA 157,000, compared with - 48,000 in the same quarter of 2019. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 5.2% (3M19: -1.4%). quarter of 2019, driven by the consumption of cork purchased at lower prices, lower personnel costs (reduced overtime) and a reduction in supplies and external services.
As previously mentioned, the increase in sales was not in any part due to a change in the consolidation perimeter. The evolution of sales also varied between BUs. The Floor and Wall Coverings BU posted a notable increase in sales, as did the Cork Stoppers BU, in spite of the US-China trade war and the tariffs implemented by the US. Corticeira Amorim's sales were not significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, although some restrictions had already been implemented in some regions before the end of the first quarter.
The increase in the gross percentage margin, which rose from 48% to 50%, reflects increased operational efficiency and some improvements in the mix of products sold.
In terms of operatin 1 million in personnel expenses (+2.7%) compared to the same period of 2019 was largely due an increase in the number of employees and compensation expenses. External supplies and services remained at the same level as in the same period of the previous year. The transport (+ 1.5%) and energy (+ 1.3%) cost increases were offset by reductions in other expenses.
The overall evolution of remaining operating income and cost items that affect EBITDA was positive and totalled 1 million. The impact of foreign exchange differences on assets receivable and liabilities payable, and of the respective exchange rate risk hedges, recorded under other operating income and gains was negative and amounted to approximately 1 million (3M19: - 0.3 million).

EBITDA increased by 2.8%, totalling 35.8 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 17.6% (3M19: 17.2%).
Non-recurring earnings were not recognised in this quarter.
In spite of the increase in average debt, financial expenses were lowered in comparison to the first quarter of 2019.
Income from associate companies totalled 1.5 million. The reduction in relation to the same period of 2019 (3M19: mainly reflected the recognition as earnings of the final amount of the contingent part receivable from the sale of US Floors ( 2.3 million) in the first quarter of 2019. To compensate for this, the share of the earnings of the associate company Vinolok ( 1 million), which was not owned by Corticeira Amorim at the end of the first quarter of 2019, was recognised in the first three months of 2020.
It will only be possible to estimate the amount of tax benefits for investment in 2020 (RFAI and SIFIDE) at the end of the year. This means any gain will be recorded only at the closing of accounts for 2020. In the first quarter, the definitive decisions on SIFIDE benefits relating to 2019 that were communicated to the Group were recognised.
After the tax estimate and the allocation of earnings to non-controlling interests, total net income attributable to Cortice 19.9 million, an increase of 6.8% compared to the income 18.6 million recorded at the end of March 2019.

Earnings per share were 0.149 (3M19: 0.14).
In terms of financial position, assets increased by 55 million compared to December 2019. Assets recorded under accounts receivable ( 28 million) and under cash and cash equivalents ( 52 million) increased significantly. The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflects an increase in liquidreserves as a preventive measure against possible shortages of funds. Inventories decreased by 31 million, reflecting a policy of improving inventory management and the usual variation that occurs during this period.
The change in equity reflected net earnings for the quarter (+ 19.9 million).
Liabilities Interest-bearing debt 43 million to offset the increase in cash and cash equivalents mentioned in the previous paragraph.
At the end of March 2020, equity 558 million. The financial autonomy ratio rose to 53.2%.

Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU.
EBITDA = Profit before net financing costs, depreciation, equity method, 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.
