Analyst Conference I Business Updates Q2/2021

- Throughout the first half of 2021, Avgol achieved an excellent operational performance by producing with extraordinary efficiency and quality parameters across all plants. Avgol continued to operate and to deliver to its customers continuously, while retaining its
- employees safe and healthy. Since the beginning of the year the demand in the nonwoven market, especially in the Hygiene, is trending down back to pre-Covid time. This trend is happening quicker in APAC and more gradually in other regions. While the demand is trending down, RM prices are still picking up, negatively affecting our margins. That said, Avgol succeeded in improving its underlying profitability compared to pre-Covid periods through better product mix, improved pricing with one of its principal customers, high operational efficiency and diligent cost control. Avgol's Q2-2021 underlying EBITDA totaled approximately USD 21.8 million, compared to USD 31.1 million in the corresponding quarter last year, which was the highest quarter in Avgol's history. As previously disclosed, Q2-2020 was significantly strong as a result of extremely high demands for products relating to coping with the coronavirus pandemic as well as a strong demand for hygiene products, which resulted in very high profitability during that In comparison to Q1-2021, Avgol's Underlying results improved by USD 1.8 million.

Analyst Conference I Sustainability Updates
- Avgol continued to fulfil its strategy and innovation efforts to lead the nonwoven market towards sustainable unique
- solutions, among others: Signing an exclusive partnership with Polymateria (https://www.polymateria.com). Avgol and Polymateria, a British start-up, developed and intend to commercialize globally biodegradable nonwoven fabrics for diverse applications in the fields of hygiene, wipes and PPE and in fields non-related to hygiene, such as agriculture, industry, etc. The development of biodegradable nonwoven fabric is based on an additive that will be integrated into Avgol's current manufacturing processes and on creating a biotransformation process for polypropylene or any other polyolefin raw material which, upon contact with air and without any active intervention, will result in rapid biodegradation of a few months to a few years, without leaving microplastics or any harm whatsoever to the environment. Established collaboration with Algalife to utilize Avgol's nonwoven fabric and Algae technology to produce sustainable component materials and bring color, as well as the skin wellness attributes of algae, into personal care
- items.


- The Company's revenues in the second quarter of 2021 totaled approximately USD 111.9 million, compared to
- approximately USD 103.0 million in the corresponding quarter last year, an increase of about 8.6%. The increase in revenues derived from the increase in the raw materials price indices, which triggered an upward revision of the average selling prices, and from a contract renewal with one of the Company's principal customers, which included an increase in the selling prices. The quantity sold decreased during the quarter by about 5.7% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease is related mainly to the Company's decision to vacate the site in Barkan. Although our capacity was reduced, our profitability was not affected.


- The gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 totaled approximately USD 15.2 million and constitutes about 13.5% of the total income, compared to gross profit of approximately USD 34.5 million for the corresponding quarter last year,
- which constituted about 33.4% of the total income for that quarter. The gross profit during the quarter was significantly affected by the sharp rise in raw material prices. As a result, an expense of approximately USD 9.0 million was recorded in the spread in the raw materials price indices, net (the difference between the index price when setting the selling prices and the index price when purchasing raw materials), compared to an income of approximately USD 2.4 million during the corresponding quarter last year. After neutralizing the impact of the changes in the raw materials price indices between the periods, the gross profit for Q2-2021 was approximately USD 7.9 million lower compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The decrease in the gross profit during the second quarter of 2021, also resulted from the exceptional profitability in the corresponding period last year mainly related to COVID crisis.


- Avgol's Q2-2021 actual EBITDA totaled approximately USD 12.8 million, compared to approximately USD 33.5 million
- in the corresponding quarter last year. Due to the continuing trend of increasing prices of raw materials to date, the Company expects it will have a negative impact on the results of the third quarter of 2021, albeit to a lesser extent than its impact on the first and second quarters as stated. We anticipate a recovery of the lag impact to start in Q4-2021.
This information is forward-looking information, which is based on the information known by the Company at the time this report is being published. This information might not materialize or might materialize in a way that differs from that anticipated, inter alia, if a material change in trend occurs, or due to other parameters that affect the Company's manufacturing costs or the Company's selling prices.


- As stated, the EBITDA in Q2-2021 totaled approximately USD 8 12 M. After neutralizing the changes in the raw materials . prices (both the purchase prices and the selling-price adjustments), the Underlying EBITDA in Q2-2021 amounts to approximately USD 8 21 M, USD 9.3M less than the corresponding period last year. . EBITDA in H1-2021 totaled approximately USD 21.0 million. After neutralizing the changes in the raw materials prices the Underlying EBITDA in H1-2021 is approximately USD 41.8 million, USD 3.3M less than the corresponding period last year.


Net Financing Expenses in Q2-2021 totalled USD 6 4 M, compared to USD 5 . 3 M in the corresponding quarter last year. . The difference of USD 1.1 million is mainly due to an interest subsidy of USD 0.9M granted by the government in India in the corresponding period, as well as slightly higher expenses from exchange-rate differentials derived mainly from the revaluation of half of Series C bonds, which were not hedged against the Company's functional currency, the USD.
