Highlights of 2Q25

The Altri Group achieved total revenues of € 169.3 M in 2Q25, a decrease of 29.4% when compared to 2Q24. This change is explained by a lower level of average pulp prices and sales volumes, as a result of less favorable conditions in the global market. The change in US trade policy has led to a less favorable macroeconomic environment, with an impact on global demand for pulp. When compared to the previous quarter, total revenues have also decreased by 16.8%.

The Altri Group recorded an EBITDA of € 28.2 M in 2Q25, a reduction of 61.9% when compared to 2Q24. The EBITDA margin reached 16.7%, which compares with 30.8% reported in 2Q24. This decrease is due to less favorable market conditions with an impact on prices and volumes sold, amplified by the very unfavorable evolution of the US dollar. The comparison with the previous quarter is more favorable, with a 2.2 p.p. improvement in the EBITDA margin in 2Q25 and an EBITDA level close to 1Q25. Despite a significant quarterly reduction in revenues, the Altri Group recorded an improvement in the EBITDA margin in 2Q25, as a result of an improvement in production costs.

After a more dynamic start to 2025, the global pulp sector began to show signs of slowing down during the second quarter, reversing the rise in BHKP prices that had begun in the first quarter. The change in US trade policy, with the announcement of additional tariffs from April, in which the Asian region is one of the main targets, has led to strong economic uncertainty in the short term. This lower visibility has had negative effects on Asian economies and Europe in general, leading to a slowdown in demand for cellulose fibers since the beginning of 2Q25. A clarification and stabilization of global trade dynamics, especially in the US, should contribute to a recovery in the sector globally.

The dissolving pulp (DP) segment has also been affected by the expected impact of new US policies, namely on the import of textile goods from Asia to the US. As a result, we have seen a decrease in global DP demand and price levels during the first half of 2025.

During the third quarter, the Altri Group concluded the acquisition of a majority share in AeoniQTM, a decisive step towards entering the sustainable textiles sector. Altri's investment, including a capital increase, will enable it to develop the first AeoniQ™ industrial unit at the Caima premises (Portugal), and reinforces its strategic vision of diversifying into cellulosic applications with high added value and low environmental impact.

Additionally, the Altri Group continues to develop several growth and diversification projects in line with its strategic plan. We believe that the acquisition of Greenalia Forest, one of the main companies in the Galician forestry sector, and Greenalia Logistics during 2Q25, will enable the Altri Group to establish a forestry platform in northern Spain. Of the projects in the execution phase, we highlight the project for the recovery and valorization of acetic acid and furfural from renewable sources, at Caima, to be completed in the beginning of 2026 as well as the migration of the total production of Paper Pulp (BHKP) to Dissolving Pulp (DP) in the industrial unit Biotek.

Message from the CEO

Operating in a global market, Altri is subject to various impacts, particularly geostrategic and political ones. At the beginning of this year, we saw a recovery in fiber prices on the international markets, particularly in Europe and Asia, which are the most representative for Altri. The American policy of indiscriminate imposition of tariffs caused an immediate cooling of global demand and of destocking in the various value chains. We believe that a stabilization of the tariffs to be applied by the United States will allow the dynamics of demand and supply to return to the global market.

In the first half of the year, Altri overcame some operational challenges, delivering very high levels of efficiency. Fiber production remained at high levels, despite the scheduled shutdowns of two of its industrial units, allowing the company to actively manage stocks in the light of market realities.

In strategic terms, we took very important steps towards achieving our strategic plan of diversification and value creation with the acquisition of the majority of the capital of AeoniQ, a company with unique technology and intellectual property in textile filament, with characteristics that allow it to be a substitute for fossil-based filaments such as nylon and polyester. This acquisition reinforces the development of projects in sustainable textiles with high added value and low environmental impact. With the intention of starting construction of an industrial unit on Caima's premises in 2026, this acquisition is crucial for accelerating partnerships with brands and capsule collections incorporating these innovative textile fibers.

Part of the same strategy is the total migration of paper fibers (BHKP) to dissolving fibers (DP) project at our Vila Velha de Ródão plant, Biotek, as well as the project to recover and value acetic acid and furfural from renewable sources at Caima. The Gama project in Galicia is still going through the environmental process and obtaining its license.

In July, the company was included for the first time in the demanding ranking of the 500 most sustainable companies in the world, being the third highest ranked company in its sector of activity and the only national company in the sector included. In a changing world, Altri is firm in its aim to build a more renewable world, counting on the commitment of all its employees to achieve the goals we have set ourselves.

Operating and Financial Performance

Pulp Market

Global demand for pulp during the first five months of 2025 recorded an increase of 3.0% vs the same period of the previous year, while the evolution of demand for Hardwood pulp increased 4.6% over the same period of the previous year, according to the PPPC (World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report – May 2025).

In regional terms, and focusing on the Hardwood pulp market, the most relevant for the Altri Group, we positively highlight China (+10.5%), Rest of Asia/Africa (+10.5%) and Eastern Europe (+6.2%). Western Europe, after a double-digit growth in 2024, showed a reduction of around 4.3% in the first five months of 2025, when compared with the same period of 2024.

One of the relevant factors for assessing the balance of pulp demand and supply in the European market is the level of stock in European ports. Following the normalization of value chains in the pulp and paper industry during 2024, we have seen a stabilization of inventory levels in line with historical averages, between 1.4M and 1.5M tons, since the summer of 2024.

During 2Q25, the average price of the PIX pulp index (BHKP) in Europe increased by 10% in US\$ (+3% in Euros) compared to the previous quarter, reaching an average value of US\$ 1,177/ton and ending the first half of 2025 at US\$ 1,117/ton. The year-on-year comparison with 2Q24 reflects a lower price of around 13% in US\$ (-17% in Euros).

The year 2024 was marked by the occurrence of an almost complete cycle in the space of 12 months, with list prices for BHKP pulp in Europe close to USD 1,000/ton at the start of the year, reaching a maximum of USD 1,440/ton in June, to end the year back at USD 1,000/ton.

At the beginning of 2025, we began to see a recovery in the price level, which was interrupted by the US announcing tariffs, affecting many of the relevant countries in the P&P market. This impact on prices was most visible in China in the second quarter, with a convergence trend expected in Europe.

Global demand for dissolving pulp (DP) decreased by 5.5% in the first five months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, according to Numera Analytics (Global DP Demand Report – May 2025). It should be noted that DP is mainly used in textiles and mainly in Asia, a region which absorbs around 85% of demand.

The price level of DP during 2024 showed reduced volatility, and at the end of the year it reached the highest DP price level since 4Q22. This evolution was a consequence of the high operational utilization rates of viscose and lyocell producers, leading to an increase in demand for DP, their main raw material. Since the beginning of 2025, we have seen a cooling of this demand, in anticipation of the impact of US trade policies on the Asian textile sector. The announcement of tariffs by the US during the second quarter of 2025 on several Asian countries with relevance in the global textile market continues to affect the levels of textile activity in the region.

Economic and Financial Performance

During 2Q25, total revenues of Altri Group amounted to € 169.3 M, a decrease of 29.4% vs 2Q24 and a decrease of 16.8% vs. 1Q25. In 2Q25, EBITDA reached € 28.2 M, a value 61.9% lower than in the same period of the previous year and 4.1% lower than 1Q25. The Group recorded an EBITDA margin of 16.7% in 2Q25, 14.1 p.p. lower than 2Q24, but improving 2.2 p.p. when compared with 1Q25. The decrease in EBITDA compared to the same period last year is mainly due to the effect of lower pulp prices and volumes sold, which was amplified by the devaluation of the US dollar. Compared to the previous quarter, and despite a lower level of revenue, the Altri Group recorded an improvement in the EBITDA margin, as a result of an improvement in production costs.

The Altri Group's financial results reached € -10.9 M in 2Q25, which compares with € -4.9 M in 2Q24 and with € -7.9 M in the previous quarter. The deterioration in financial results is essentially due to an unfavorable trend in exchange rate differences in the quarter due to the negative impact of the trade receivables balance.

The Net Profit of the Altri Group in 2Q25 reached € 6.4 M, a decrease of 84.1% when compared with the same period of the previous year and 15.4% below the net profit of 1Q25.

Debt

The Altri Group's net debt reached € 317.5 M at the end of June 2025, which compares with € 211.0 M at the end of March 2025. This increase is mainly due to the dividend distribution (€ 61.5 M), taxes and working capital. This level of debt is equivalent to a Net Debt/EBITDA LTM ratio of 2.1x. The total net debt, (i.e., when adding lease liabilities), was around € 399.5 M at the end of 2Q25. The Altri Group had a proportion of fixed-rate debt (including interest rate swap contracts) of 38%, at the end of the second quarter of 2025.

Sustainability

The Altri Group has defined four strategic development vectors that focus its activity and its future investments:

  • To value the people
  • Develop and enhance the forest
  • Focus on operational excellence and technological innovation
  • Affirming sustainability as a competitiveness factor

Based on this strategy, the main sustainability objectives for the Group were identified, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and with the expectations of our stakeholders, resulting in the definition of the "2030 Commitment" of the Altri Group. Every quarter we see progress in line with our purpose of building a more renewable world:

National Sustainability Award

In the 5th edition of the National Sustainability Award, promoted by Jornal de Negócios, the Altri Group was distinguished as the winner in the "Health and Well-being in Organizations - Large Organization" category. This recognition awarded

to the Safety Lab program reflects the commitment of the entire organization to the Safety, Health and Well-being of its workers, promoting safe, conscious and preventive behaviour and helping to strengthen Altri's Safety Culture.

New Biospot - Monte Ruivo

The Altri Group has launched Biospot number 9 in the Algarve area, in Monte Ruivo - Monchique, reflecting the Altri Group's strategy for biodiversity conservation. This Biospot is part of the Altri Diversity program, aligned with the Group's 2030 Commitment, which aims to create 15 biodiversity stations by the end of 2030.

M&A (2025)

The Altri Group concluded the acquisition of a majority share in AeoniQ™

  • Altri strengthens its commitment to innovation and diversifies the applications of its cellulose fibers.
  • AeoniQ™ is a Swiss company that presents an innovative and revolutionary offer in the textile sector with innovative technology for the production of cellulose-based fibers with the properties of synthetic fibers with a much more sustainable profile.

Altri has concluded, already in the third quarter, the acquisition of a majority share in AeoniQ™ marking a decisive step in the sustainable textiles sector. Altri's investment, including a capital increase, will allow it to develop AeoniQ™'s commercial-scale production capacity, reinforcing its strategic vision of diversification into high-value cellulosic applications with low environmental impact.

AeoniQ™, a Swiss cleantech spin-off of HeiQ Materials AG, has developed the first biodegradable cellulosic filament designed to replace polyester and nylon. The AeoniQ™ platform is set to transform the global textile industry by offering a fully circular, plastic-free alternative that replicates the performance of synthetic fibers - without their environmental impacts.

From Innovator to Scale: Industrialization of AeoniQ™ in Portugal

As part of the agreement, the world's first AeoniQ™ industrial unit will be built at Altri's Caima fiber plant in Constância. Construction is scheduled to begin during 2026, with an initial capacity of 1,750 tons per year. In addition to the existing pilot lines in Austria, a pre-industrial unit will be launched in Portugal in early 2026 to accelerate prototypes, brand partnerships and capsule collections.

Sustainability and Performance with Market Validation

AeoniQ™ cellulosic filaments are fully biodegradable in marine environments, soil, fresh water and industrial composting (certified by TÜV Austria and OEKO-TEX®). The product offers natural elasticity, softness, resistance and the unique ability to be textured - making it suitable for multiple applications, from lingerie and workwear to footwear, home textiles, medical clothing and automotive interiors.

Two independent Life Cycle Assessment studies confirm that AeoniQ™ reduces CO₂ emissions by at least 3.2 kg for every kg of yarn compared to polyester. The yarn has already been used in four Hugo Boss capsule collections and in Lameirinho's "vegan silk" bed linen line, presented at Heimtextil 2025.

Transforming the Textile Ecosystem with Strategic Alliances

AeoniQ™ is backed by major players in the textile value chain: German fashion brand Hugo Boss and MAS Holdings, South Asia's largest technical apparel manufacturer, are co-investor shareholders, while THE LYCRA COMPANY has acquired the exclusive distribution rights. Other development partners include Riopele, Impetus, Lameirinho, Beste, Feinjersey, Taiana, Dolinschek, Aunde Group, Amman and Strahle + Hess.

"This agreement embodies Altri's strategy of moving up the value chain and investing in nextgeneration materials," says José Soares de Pina, Altri's CEO. "We are scaling a transformative innovation that aligns perfectly with our commitment to building a more renewable world."

Carlo Centonze, CEO of HeiQ, added: "Altri's investment transforms AeoniQ™ from a market-proven innovation into a large-scale global production platform. Together, we are offering a market-ready solution for one of the most polluting sectors on the planet: textiles. AeoniQ™ combines Altri's industrial expertise with HeiQ's capacity for innovation to deliver a sustainable, high-performance, plastic-free product made in Europe."

In addition to diversifying its operations, the acquisition of AeoniQ™ is in line with Altri's strategy to increase its presence in the sustainable textile fibers sector and contribute to building a more renewable world. The Group is based on the principles of the bioeconomy, using renewable and recyclable resources from certified forests, and transforming them through industrial processes aligned with the most efficient and environmentally advanced technologies, promoting the principles of the circular economy.

Perspectives

The reactivation of demand levels in the global pulp market felt at the start of 2025 was interrupted by the US announcements that, as of April, it would establish tariffs on a large part of imports, with a significant impact on the Asian/China region. This factor has been central to the increase in shortterm economic uncertainty and consequent slowdown in demand for pulp globally during 2Q25. We believe that the measures and tariffs to be applied by the US will stabilize in the coming months and that the demand and supply dynamics of the global pulp market will find a new balance.

The consequence of these movements in demand was a rise in BHKP (Hardwood) pulp prices in China and Europe at the beginning of 2025, followed by falls during the second quarter, ending the semester in Europe at a level of US\$1,120/ton. We believe that pulp prices in China are currently close to marginal cost, and as such, a sign that we will be close to stabilization, as there will be economic rationale for an increase in domestic demand from integrated paper producers, who will buy pulp on the market instead of producing it. In Europe, pulp prices are likely to follow the trends seen in China, often with a delay of one to two months.

The Altri Group maintains the prospect to focus on optimizing the main variable costs in 2025. As previously anticipated, and after some operational challenges which occurred in 1Q25 were surpassed, we achieved a very high level of operational efficiency in 2Q25, improving production costs and ending the semester practically in line with 2024.

The acquisition of a majority share of AeoniQ™ reinforces the Altri Group's strategy of developing projects in the area of sustainable textiles with high added value and low environmental impact. Building an industrial unit in Caima, with start in 2026, will be crucial to accelerate prototypes, partnerships with brands and capsule collections of these innovative textile fibers.

The acquisition of Greenalia Forest, one of the main companies in the Galician forestry sector, and Greenalia Logistics during 2Q25, was an important strategic step, enabling the Altri Group to establish a forestry platform in northern Spain.

The project for the total migration of paper pulp production (BHKP) to dissolving pulp (DP) continues at Biotek, with an estimated production of 50,000 tons of DP for 2025. In addition, the renewable-based acetic acid and furfural recovery and valorization project at Caima should be completed in early 2026, with the sale of a new high value-added product.

Description of Altri Group

The Altri Group is a reference in European cellulosic fibers producers. In addition to cellulosic fibers production, the Group is also present in the renewable power production business from forest base sources, namely industrial cogeneration through black liquor. The forestry strategy is based on the full use of all the components provided by the forest: cellulosic fibers, black liquor and forest wastes.

At the end of the first half of 2025, the Altri Group managed around 100.9 thousand hectares of forest, entirely certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® - C004615) and by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most acknowledged certification entities worldwide.

Altri has three pulp mills in Portugal, with an annual installed capacity that currently surpasses 1.1 million tons/year of cellulosic fibers.

Altri's current organic structure at the end of the second quarter of 2025 can be represented as follows:
