CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, SA – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (non audited)

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

Consolidated Management Report

Dear Shareholders,

In accordance with the law, CORTICEIRA AMORIM S.G.P.S., S.A., a public company, presents its consolidated management report:

1. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY

The world economic climate was marked by a clear divergence between economic growth, which was higher than expected, and the early indicators released during the quarter, which indicated a worsening situation. There were positive growth surprises in China, the US and the Euro area. The quarter was marked by a sharp appreciation in the value of risk assets, especially in January and February, a sharp change in climate from the end of 2018. Central banks changed their stance by postponing the normalisation of monetary policy. Uncertainty was a permanent theme as some of the on-going political processes, such as the US-China trade negotiations and Brexit, remained unresolved.

In the US, despite the decline in the equities market, the knock-on effect on economic confidence, federal services shutdowns and poor weather, the economy grew by 3.2%. In Europe, economic growth surprisingly surpassed expectations despite remaining at a low level.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM reported sales growth of 9.2% to €202.3 million. It should be noted that in the first quarter of 2019 the consolidation perimeter remained the same as in the same period of 2018. Excluding the impact of exchange rate variations, mainly related to the US dollar, sales growth would have been 7.9%, representing a significant increase in consolidated sales.

In terms of sales by business unit (BU), the Cork Stopper BU (+11.3%) was prominent, reflecting its weight in Corticeira Amorim's total sales. The Raw Materials (+28.7%), Composite Cork (+9.2%) and Insulation (+26.5%) BUs also contributed significantly to the overall increase in sales. Sales by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU continued to follow a downward trend (-2.6%).

EBITDA decreased by 5.6% to €34.8 million. The increase in the price of raw material consumed and the negative performance of the Floor and Wall Coverings BU were the main reasons for this decrease, which occurred despite the increase in sales. Increases in sales prices and gains in operating efficiency helped offset the reduction in EBITDA.

As a result, the EBITDA-sales ratio fell in relation to the same period of 2018 (from 19.9% to 17.2%). This was not a significant reduction from the full-year ratio in 2018 (17.6%) and was in line with expectations.

The adoption of the IFRS 16 Leases standard did not result in any significant changes to the financial statements of Corticeira Amorim. As of March 31, 2019, the main impacts were an increase in EBITDA of €0.5 million, an increase in depreciation of €0.4 million and an increase in debt of €7.6 million.

At the end of the quarter, net interest-bearing debt totalled €141.7 million (12M18: €139.0 million). This debt already includes the effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 standard referred to above. In comparable terms, excluding this effect, debt would have fallen by €4.9 million in the first quarter.

In terms of associate company results, the positive effect of receiving the final amount (€2.3 million) from the disposal of US Floors should be highlighted.

After results attributable to non-controlling interests, net income totalled €18.6 million, in line with the results for the same period of 2018.

2. OPERATING ACTIVITIES – FIRST QUARTER 2019

Sales by the Raw Materials BU increased 28.7%. This reflected increased activity, higher sales prices and an improvement in the preparation mix.

EBITDA totalled €8.3 million, slightly lower than in the same period of 2018 (€8.6 million). The decrease in the EBITDA margin (from 18.9% to 14.1%) was mainly due to the increased price of the cork used by the BU and an increase in operating expenses. Profitability during the remaining nine months of 2019 will continue to be conditioned by the price at which the BU purchases cork.

It is estimated that the quantities of cork from the 2019 harvest will be more generous. This factor is expected to result in a decrease in the purchase price of cork.

The Cork Stoppers BU recorded sales of €143.4 million, an increase of 11.3% over the same period of 2018. Excluding the rate exchange effect, sales would have grown by 10.1%.

Sales grew in all segments (wine: 11%, sparkling wine: 10%, spirits: 17%). In terms of geographic markets, growth was balanced, with the strongest growth in the US, Italy and Spain. Sales in the French market reflected the weak harvest of 2017, particularly in Bordeaux. Sales of NDTech® service corks totalled 14 million units (3M18: 10 million units).

The BU's EBITDA increased to €26.9 million (+4.3% year-on-year). The EBITDA margin decreased by 1.3 percentage points to 18.7% (3M18: 20.0%).Higher raw material yields and efficiency gains were not enough to compensate for increases in the he price of cork and operating expenses, resulting in a decrease in the EBITDA margin.

The Floor and Wall Coverings BU recorded sales of €28.4 million, a decrease of 2.6% compared with the same period of 2017.

Sales in the US, Russia and China continued to decline, but were offset by higher sales in Scandinavia and Italy

EBITDA was negative in the amount of €1 million, reflecting expenses related to the launch of the new WISE product line (mainly development and marketing expenses). These expenses are expected to diminish in the remaining nine months of the year. However, the BU's negative performance does not only reflect this situation and additional efficiency measures are already being implemented, in areas including logistics and industrial operations, with the aim of reversing the negative trend in results.

Rationalisation of the product portfolio, product development and measures to increase productivity and operational efficiency will be key factors in achieving this.

Sales by the Composite Cork BU totalled €26.6 million, an increase of 9.2% compared to the same period of 2018 (€24.4 million). Increased sales prices and volume sales, a more favourable sales mix and the favourable USD exchange rate were the main factors behind the increase in sales.

Highlights in terms of sales by segment include the growth of Resilient and Engineering Flooring Manufactures, Flooring Distributors, and Panels and Composites. Sales decreased in the Auto and Auto Parts, Home and Design Products and Power Industry segments.

Sales expanded in all geographical markets, particularly in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia.

EBITDA for the period was €3.2 million. The EBITDA margin fell to 12.2% (3M18: 14.7%), reflecting the increase in the price of cork and operating expenses (personnel, marketing and distribution).

Sales by the Insulation Cork BU totalled €3.4 million, an increase of 26.5% compared with the same quarter of the previous year. This was supported by higher activity levels and price increases. In terms of markets, positive performances in Italy and the Middle East stand out.

EBITDA was practically nil (€-48,000), down from €0.3 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in the purchasing price of cork, the only raw material used by this BU, affected profitability.

3. CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND FINANCIAL POSITION

As mentioned above, the increase in sales was not affected by the change in the consolidation perimeter, but was mainly due to price and volume effects. The exchange rate effect was approximately €2.3 million. Excluding the exchange rate effect, the increase in sales would have been 7.9%

In addition to reflecting the impact of the exchange rate variation, the drop in the gross margin from 51% to 48% also reflects an increase in production costs, mainly due to the increase in the price of the raw material cork purchased by the Group.

In terms of operating costs, the increase of about €1.9 million in personnel costs (+5.4%) compared to the same period of 2018 was mainly due to capacity increases at the Cork Stoppers and Raw Materials BUs. The cost of external supplies and services increased 6.4% and was significantly impacted by increased transport costs (+7%) and the increase in activity.

The other income and operating expenses that impacted EBITDA evolved unfavourably, totalling approximately €1.6 million. It should be noted that the differences between foreign exchange rates for assets receivable and liabilities payable and the related foreign exchange hedges, included in other operating income and gains, was negative, totalling approximately €0.3 million (3M18: +€0.4 million).

EBITDA fell by 5.6% to €34.8 million. The EBITDA-sales ratio was 17.2% (3M18: 19.9%).

No non-recurring items were recognised in this quarter.

The increase in financial expenses reflects the increase in interest rate payments resulting from the increase in average debt.

The earnings of associate companies totalled €2.9 million. The increase over the same period of the previous year (3M18: €0.8M) was mainly due to the recognition as earnings of the final value of the contingent amount receivable from the disposal of US Floors (€2.3 M).

As usual, it will only be possible to estimate the value of investment tax benefits (RFAI and SIFIDE) at the end of the year. Thus, any tax gain will only be recorded at the closing of accounts for 2019.

After the tax estimate and allocation of profits to non-controlling interests, net income attributable to the shareholders of Corticeira Amorim totalled €18.6 million, a decrease of 1.1% compared to the €18.8 million recorded at the end of March 2018.

Earnings per share were €0.14 (3M18: €0.142).

In terms of the financial position, assets increased by €26 million compared with December 2018. Highlights include the increase in fixed assets (+€11.0 M), reflecting the increase in investment and the effect of applying IFRS 16), customers (+€16.1 million, reflecting the increase in sales) and other debtors (+€16.2 million, mainly advances for the purchase of raw materials). Inventories decreased by €13.8 million, reflecting the usual variation during this period.

The change in shareholders' equity reflects the first quarter earnings (+€18.6 million).

The increase in liabilities was not significant (€4.5 M), with changes offsetting each other: a reduction under the heading of suppliers (€10.4 M) was offset by an increase in income tax (€9.7 million based on the estimated tax payable), other financial liabilities (€6.0 M) and other liabilities (€3.6 million). The increase in net debt (+€2.7 million) results from the application of IFRS 16. Excluding this effect, net debt would have decreased by €4.9 million.

At the end of March 2019, shareholders' equity totalled €519.7 million. The financial autonomy ratio stood at 52.4%.

I - 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.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM, directly or indirectly, holds no interest in land properties used to grow and explore cork tree. Cork tree is the source of cork, the main raw material used by CORTICEIRA AMORIM production units. Cork acquisition is made in an open market, with multiple agents, both in the demand side as in the supply side.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM is mainly engaged in the acquisition and transformation of cork into a numerous set of cork and cork related products, which are distributed worldwide through its network of sales company.

CORTICEIRA AMORIM is a Portuguese company with a registered head office in Mozelos, Santa Maria da Feira. Its share capital amounts to 133 million euros, and is represented by 133 million shares, which are publicly traded in the Euronext Lisbon – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulamentados, S.A.

The company Amorim - Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S, S.A. held, on December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, 67,830,000 shares of CORTICEIRA AMORIM corresponding to 51.00 % of its share capital. CORTICEIRA AMORIM is included in the consolidation perimeter of Amorim – Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S., S.A., this being its controlling parent company. Amorim – Investimentos e Participações, S.G.P.S. is fully owned by Amorim family.

These financial statements were approved in the Board Meeting of May 2, 2019. Shareholders have the capacity to modify these financial statements even after their release.

Except when mentioned, all monetary values are stated in thousand euros (Thousand euros = K euros = K€ = € K).

II - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 were prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, and include the statement of financial position, the income statement, the income statement and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows, as well as the selected explanatory notes.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of CORTICEIRA AMORIM are consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements presented for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of the new standards whose application became effective on December 1, January 2019 and the application of IFRS 16 implied the changes referred to in the following paragraphs.

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaced IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determine if an Agreement contains a Lease, SIC 15 Operational Leases - Incentives and SIC 27 Evaluation of the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles applicable to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires tenants to account for all leases in their balance sheets in accordance with a single model similar to that currently provided for in IAS 17 for finance leases.

The standard provides for two exemptions of recognition for tenants - lease contracts where assets have little value, and short-term lease contracts (ie contracts with a duration of 12 months or less).

At the commencement date of the lease, the lessee will recognize the liability for future lease payments (ie the lease liability) and the asset representing the right to use the asset during the lease period (ie the asset under right of use). Tenants will have to recognize separately the financial cost related to the lease liability and the cost of depreciation or amortization of the asset under the right of use.

Under the rule, tenants will have to remeasure the lease liability when certain events occur (for example, a change in the lease period, a change in lease payments as a consequence of a change in a payments). Tenants will recognize the amount of this remeasurement in the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

The lessor's accounting in accordance with IFRS 16 remains substantially unchanged from the accounting currently provided for in IAS 17. The lessor continues to classify all leases using the same IAS 17 classification principle and distinguishing between two types of lease: operating leases and financial institutions.

IFRS 16, which enters into force for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 requires lessors and lessees disclosures that are more extensive than those required by IAS 17.

Transition to IFRS 16

The Group adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method: recognition of the cumulative effect, in the first period of application of the standard, without restatement of comparatives, as an adjustment to equity in the opening balance sheet of the period in which the standard is adopted. The Group applied the standard to all contracts that were previously identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. As a result, the Group did not apply the standard to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease.

The Group has decided to apply the exemptions provided for in the standard for leases whose lease term ends within the next 12 months from the initial application date, and for lease contracts for which the underlying asset has little value. The Group has lease agreements for certain types of administrative equipment (such as personal computers, printing machines and photocopiers) which the Group considers to be of little value.

The main impacts of adopting IFRS 16 were an increase in EBITDA of €0.5 M, an increase in depreciation of €0.4 M and an increase of € 7.6M in debt at March 31, 2019.

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

EBITDA = Profit before interests, depreciation, equity method, non-controlling interests and income tax.

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

Segments assets do not include DTA (deferred tax asset) and non-trade group balances.

Segments liabilities do not include DTL (deferred tax liabilities), bank loans and non-trade group balances.

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.
