MANAGEMENT REPORT
To the Shareholders
Pursuant to the legal and statutory requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, SGPS, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as "Altri", "Company" or "Group"), hereby presents the Annual Report and Accounts for 2018. In accordance with Article 508(6)(C) of the Commercial Companies Code (CSC), the Board of Directors decided to submit a single Management Report, fulfilling all the applicable legal requirements that will enable a complete, practical and integrated analysis of the information made available therein.
Introduction
2018 was, once again, a record year in terms of pulp production and sales.
Altri was incorporated in March 2005 and quickly became known and recognised as a leading European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and, more recently, of dissolving pulp. The company is now also a relevant player in the renewable energy sector, particularly in industrial cogeneration using black liquor and biomass, as its forestry strategy is based on the full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.
All the shares representing Altri's share capital are admitted to trading on a regulated market - Euronext Lisbon - integrating its main reference index, PSI-20.
Altri's success is due to a variety of factors, most Notebly the high level of investment made, especially in recent years - Altri has invested more than 640 million Euro in industrial units in Portugal, equipping them with the most advanced technology available on the global market, adapting them, right from the start, to the conditions of the New BREF (Best Available Techniques – Reference Document for the Production of Pulp, Paper and Board). Therefore, Altri's industrial units are now national and international references in terms of best practices and environmental compliance.
Altri has three pulp mills in Portugal - Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A., in Figueira da Foz, Celtejo – Empresa de Celulose do Tejo, S.A., in Vila Velha de Ródão and Caima – Indústria de Celulose, S.A., in Constância, with an installed capacity of production of eucalyptus pulp of more than 1 million tonnes per year in the three units as a whole.
The forest is a strategic asset for Altri. At the end of 2018, Altri, through its subsidiary, Altri Florestal, S.A., managed 80,000 hectares of forest in Portugal.
Altri Florestal S.A.'s management practices are certified by the main sustainable forest management certification systems, a guarantee that the Company will achieve its goals, now and in the future.
In these lands, eucalyptus stands out as the main crop of Altri's forest, ensuring a selfsupply that complements the supply provided by the wood and biomass market. These lands are fully certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most renowned certification bodies worldwide.
Although Altri's forests are scattered across the country, they are mostly concentrated in Tejo's valley, a fact that makes them even more relevant due to their proximity to Altri's manufacturing units. This proximity is extremely relevant from the strategic point of view, because it allows optimising transportation costs, while ensuring a greater efficiency in the mobilisation of wood when compared to the production of wood located at farther distances.
The pursuit of Altri's industrial strategy is based on integrated forest management in Portugal, which aims at optimising the forest, guaranteeing that all its components are fully used. Thus, eucalyptus is processed in Altri's mills, producing paper pulp and electricity (cogeneration), while the bark, the branches and the forest waste are used to generate electricity using biomass.
Altri's development strategy is clearly based on the reinforcement of its operational efficiency and, at the same time, on the diversification of the sources of revenue for segments with higher added value and that enable an evolution in the value chain. Thus, in order to comfortably compete in the commodity market, and in a context marked by an adverse exchange rate, the Company must reduce its operating costs and, on the other hand, invest in the manufacture of products with higher added value, which will allow the Group to grow.
Altri aims to become the most efficient producer on a global scale providing a door-to-door service to its customers. With this goal in mind, Altri developed a strategy based on three pillars:
- Cutting cash cost per tonne: the projects completed in recent years and those underway do not entail an increase in fixed costs, leading to a dilution of the cash cost per tonne;
- Strategic location of the customer base: the prime location for Altri's customers is Western and Central Europe, where it is possible to optimise the balance between the quality of customer service and transportation costs;
- Wood self-sufficiency: Altri manages about 80,000 hectares of forest in Portugal, ensuring a potential level of wood self-sufficiency around 20%.

In pursuit of its continuous improvement goals, and in particular regarding the valorisation of forest resources, in 2005, Altri acquired 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A. to generate electricity from forest biomass in partnership with EDP. This company is the leader in its market segment, with a 50% share of licences for generating electricity from forest biomass. In 2018, Altri reached an agreement with EDP to acquire, directly and through its subsidiary Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A., the remaining 50%, thereby taking control of 100% of that Company (now Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A.). Following the Competition Authority's decision not to object to the proposal, the transaction took place at the end of November and the Group took control of the entire operation as of that date.
So, Altri, through its subsidiary Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. (Bioelétrica) owns and manages four biomass power plants and is in the process of building a fifth plant, which demonstrates its strong investment in the renewable energy sector and raised it to a prominent position in this market in Portugal.
Also, regarding the energy sector, Altri is also investing in generating electricity via renewable-based industrial cogeneration (a process based on the use of plant components with combustible properties).
Consequently, the new functional organisational structure of the Altri Group is as follows:

Macroeconomic background
At the beginning of 2018, the world economic activity was surrounded by great optimism, after a year that was characterised by synchronised global growth. An economic environment favourable to the markets, the tax reform implemented by Donald Trump and good data from China suggested that 2018 would be another positive year worldwide. However, from a very early stage, there was a slowdown in global industrial activity, as well as in international trade, which ultimately plagued the confidence of economic agents. The implementation of customs tariffs by some of the largest countries in the world - especially the US - and the subsequent retaliations, namely from China, have created a negative environment for the market and for economic agents in general.
Nevertheless, 2018 was a year of growth in virtually all geographic regions, as the world economy is estimated to have grown 3.7%, slightly above the 3.6% of 2017 (OECD data) and above the 3.4% average recorded since 2011. However, in the OECD economies, there was a slight slowdown in growth, from 2.5% in 2017 to 2.4% in 2018, due to the slowdown in the Euro area and Japan.
On the other hand, 2018 was a year of slowdown in Portugal, comprising yet another example of the economic cycle's maturity. GDP grew by 2.1% in 2018, against 2.8% in 2017, as domestic demand and tourism remained strong. Portugal has already felt the impact of the slowdown of some of its main trading partners, namely Spain and Germany. Nevertheless, exports continued to grow at a good pace (6%). The unemployment rate fell again in 2018, reflecting economic growth and the growth of tourism. Average inflation in Portugal was 1%, below the forecasts at the beginning of the year and well below the European average of 1.9%.
Economic growth in Europe peaked in 2017, reaching the fastest pace of the last decade at the time. This pace was more moderate in 2018, as the international scenario became less favourable. The European Commission estimates that the economy grew by 1.9% in 2018 and will slow down to 1.3% in 2019. The IMF was relatively more optimistic than the European Commission in its latest report, issued in November, estimating a slowdown in GDP growth from 2.4% in 2017 to 2.0% in 2018 and 1.9% in 2019.

Growth in the United States is expected to slow down over the next two years as macroeconomic policies become less favourable. Monetary policy has gradually been normalised as inflation approaches the 2% target of the Federal Reserve. Inflation is expected to rise slightly above the Fed's target, while the amount of unused resources in the economy decreases. At the last monetary policy meeting, the US Federal Reserve Bank raised interest rates to 2.25%-2.50%, as expected, continuing to characterise the economy in a positive manner.
After a rise of 6.9% in 2017, China's growth remained strong in the first half of last year, but slowed down in the second half, having grown by 6.6% in 2018. The country has been under heavy pressure from the US in the recent "trade war," but some of the tension between the two sides has been relieved this year.
Stock exchange evolution
(Note: PSI 20 was regarded as an index with an initial value identical to that of the security under analysis in order to enable a better comparison between share prices.)

Altri's shares increased in value by 12% in 2018, while PSI-20 decreased in value by 12% in the same period.
At the end of 2018, Altri's share price stood at 5.80 Euro per share. Market capitalisation was about 1.19 billion Euro at the end of 2018.
In 2018, Altri's shares were traded at a maximum price of 9.13 Euro per share and at a minimum of 4.41 Euro per share. In total, approximately 89 million Altri shares were traded in that period, corresponding to 43.5% of the issued capital.
The main events that marked the evolution of the Company's shares in FY 2018 can be chronologically described as follows:

- On March 8, 2018, the Group announced its financial performance for FY 2017, with a consolidated net profit of 96.1 million Euro. Total consolidated revenues amounted to 665.8 million Euro. Consolidated EBITDA exceeded 191 million Euro, in a record year in terms of pulp production and sales. The closing price on that date was 4.78 Euro per share.
- On April 20, 2018, Altri announced to the market that its subsidiary Celbi issued a bond loan named "CELBI 2018/2026," in the amount of Euro 50,000,000;
- In the announcement made on May 10, 2018, Altri informed the market that the dividends pertaining to FY 2017, corresponding to 0.30 Euro per share, would be paid as of May 30;
- In an announcement made on May 11, the Group disclosed its results for the first quarter of 2018. During this period, total consolidated revenues amounted to Euro 173.4 million, EBITDA reached approximately Euro 63.3 million, while consolidated net income stood at Euro 32.7 million;
- On May 28, 2018, Altri announced to the market that its subsidiary Celbi issued a bond loan named "CELBI 2018/2028," in the amount of Euro 50,000,000;
- On July 26, Altri disclosed the results for the first half of 2018 to the market, with revenues of around 378.4 million Euro, an EBITDA of approximately 136 million Euro and a net income of approximately 73.8 million Euro;
- On July 31, Altri informed that it had reached an agreement with EDP Energias de Portugal, S.A., to acquire, directly and through its subsidiary Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A., 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A., thereby taking control of 100% of this Company. The transaction took place following the Competition Authority's decision not to object to the proposal;
- The results for the 3rd quarter were disclosed on October 31. In the first nine months of the year, the Group achieved total revenues of 583.6 million Euro, EBITDA was approximately 218 million Euro and net profit stood at 120.4 million Euro.
The Group's activity
Altri is a leading European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and, more recently, a producer of dissolving pulp. The Company is also a relevant player in the field of forest-based renewable energy, particularly in industrial cogeneration using black liquor and biomass.
The main financial holdings held and managed by the Altri Group are as follows:
- • Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A. (Celbi), based in Leirosa, Figueira da Foz – paper pulp producer and distributor;
- • Celtejo Empresa de Celulose do Tejo, S.A. (Celtejo), based in Vila Velha de Ródão – also a paper pulp producer and distributor;
- Caima Indústria de Celulose, S.A. (Caima), based in Constância – dissolving pulp producer and distributor;
- • Altri Florestal, S.A., based in Leirosa, Figueira da Foz, but with operational offices in Constância – the company that manages the Group's forestry resources;
- • Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A., based in Leirosa, Figueira da Foz, owns and manages four biomass power plants in several parts of the country, and is in the process of building a fifth plant.


As of December 31, 2018, the full ownership structure of the Altri Group is as follows:

Altri's product
Celbi and Celtejo produce eucalyptus pulp, using the sulphate process, or Kraft. Caima produces dissolving pulp, for applications in the textile industry, using the sulphite process.
Celbi's pulp is bleached without the use of elemental chlorine (ECF pulp, elemental chlorine free). Caima and Celtejo's pulps are TCF (totally chlorine free), i.e., they are bleached without the use of chlorine compounds.
The fact that the production of paper pulp at Celbi and Celtejo is based on the use of eucalyptus globulus as a raw material, combined with the corresponding production processes, gives them special characteristics which make them particularly suitable to produce certain types of paper or cardboard.
In Celbi's case, the pulp's characteristics make it suitable for manufacturing fine printing and writing papers, papers for decorative laminates and papers used to achieve a high printing quality. In Celtejo's case, the pulp is particularly suitable for manufacturing tissue papers.
Caima produces dissolving pulp using eucalyptus globulus as raw material. This pulp is used in the production of viscose, one of the raw materials for the textile industry, alongside cotton and polyester. There is a development project underway to make it possible to use this pulp in a wider range of products in the future, with applications in the detergent and pharmaceutical industries, sponges, etc. The target markets for paper pulp are Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Dissolving pulp is mainly sold in China, which is the world's largest viscose producer.
In addition to dissolving pulp, Caima also sells magnesium lignosulphonate, which is mainly used in the construction industry, as an addictive for concrete.
These paper pulps are approved by Nordic Ecolabelling of Paper Products (Celbi and Celtejo) and by European Ecolabel (Celbi), so that they can be used in products that intend to use this environmental label. These are both environmental labelling programmes based on an analysis of the product's life cycle.

Paper pulp market
According to data from the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report, in 2018 the total demand for hardwood pulp grew by about 0.4%, which resulted in an absolute incremental growth of 0.35 million tonnes.
However, the slowdown in consumption was very sharp in December 2018, when the demand for hardwood pulps amounted to 2.8 million tonnes, which corresponds to a decrease of 18% compared to the demand in December 2017.
In terms of developments in the price of BHKP pulp, the 4th quarter of 2018 was characterised by a downward trend, as the average price reached 1,045 USD/ton, against an average market price (PIX) of approximately 1,050 USD/ton in the 3rd quarter.

Source: FOEX
Once again, Altri hit a new production record in 2018. Nearly 1.097 million tonnes of pulp were produced (54,000 tonnes more than in the previous year), of which approximately 106,500 tonnes were dissolving pulp (DWP). In terms of sales, in the financial year under analysis, 1.055 million tonnes of pulp were sold, of which 950,700 tonnes were paper pulp and nearly 104,300 tonnes were DWP.

Pulp sales by region and use

The average market price of paper pulp (BHKP) in 2018 was € 879.4/ton, which corresponds to a 21% increase against the average price recorded in 2017.
In terms of geographic distribution of Altri's sales, Europe (excluding Portugal) is the main target market for the Group's sales, accounting for 70% of sales, i.e., about 735,000 tonnes. Portugal accounts for 11% of sales, while China accounts for about 9% of pulp sales.
In terms of use, tissue producers are Altri's main customers with a 48% share, followed by speciality producers and graphic printing and writing paper producers, with market shares of 22% and 21%, respectively. Producers of viscose filaments - consumers of DWP pulp - account for about 9% of sales.

In FY 2018, Altri's total revenues reached 784.8 million Euro, which corresponds to a growth of around 18% compared to FY 2017.
In 2018, total expenditure, excluding amortisations, financial expenses and taxes, amounted to approximately 492.1 million Euro, corresponding to growth of about 3.7% against the expenses recorded in the previous year. We should note that, as in 2017, biological assets were recognised at fair value in the year under analysis, leading to an increase of approximately 3.3 million Euro in asset value.
In 2018, EBITDA reached 292.7 million Euro, a growth of approximately 53% against the EBITDA for the previous year, and its margin reached 37.3% (+8.6 p.p.).
Operating income (EBIT) for the year stood at 232.5 million Euro, an increase of nearly 69% compared to the previous year.
Financial income amounted to approximately 18.2 million Euro. The item "Results of associated companies" includes mainly the accounting gain corresponding to the acquisition of the entire share capital of Bioelétrica. Because this acquisition was carried out in stages (since the Altri group already held 50% of the capital), Altri, under the applicable accounting regulations, had to reassess the equity interest it held in Bioelétrica at its fair value on the date of the latest acquisition. This measurement resulted in the recognition of an accounting gain in the amount of 26 million Euro in the consolidated financial statements.
Altri's net income reached approximately 194.5 million Euro.

Activity developed by the non-executive members of the board of directors
In 2018, all non-executive directors regularly and effectively performed their duties of monitoring and following-up on the activity carried out by the executive members.
Among others, in 2018, the non-executive members of the Board of Directors actively and regularly attended the meetings of the Board of Directors, analysing the various issues on the matters under consideration and expressing their views on the Group's strategic guidelines. Where necessary, they maintained a close and direct contact with the Group's operational and financial officers. In 2018, and as part of the meetings of the Board of Directors, the Executive Directors provided all the information that was requested by the other members of the Board of Directors.

Proposal of the board of directors for the appropriation of individual net profit and distribution of free reserves
Altri, SGPS, S.A., as the Group's holding, recorded in its individual accounts prepared in accordance with the principles of recognition and measurement of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, a net profit of 135,210,911.23 Euro. The Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' General Meeting its full distribution in form of dividends.
Altri's Board of Directors also proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting the distribution of free reserves in the amount of 12,483,892.84 Euro, in the form of dividends, in addition to said distribution of profits for the year.
The distribution of profits for the year and free reserves hereby proposed will result in the payment of a gross dividend of 0.72 Euro per share.
Future prospects
From the operational point of view, and during the first quarter of the year (February), the activity of Celbi's industrial unit was suspended for more than 15 days due to scheduled maintenance works. Considering the level of stocks accumulated in previous quarters, no material changes in the volumes sold are expected to occur during the first quarter of 2019.
The scheduled maintenance of Altri's industrial units has been planned as follows:
Celtejo: May Caima: October
In terms of the CAPEX, Altri is planning to invest nearly 80 million Euro in 2019, of which 30 million Euro will be invested in the completion of the Figueira da Foz biomass plant, which is due to start operating in the third quarter of 2019.

There are no significant agreements concluded by ALTRI including clauses regarding change of control (including following a takeover bid), i.e., that enter into force, are amended, entail making payments or incurring costs, or terminate in such circumstances or if there is a change in the composition of the Board of Directors, and there are no specific conditions that limit the exercise of voting rights by the Company's shareholders, that may interfere with the success of Takeover Bids.
Some financing agreements concerning ALTRI's subsidiaries, and only these, contain the standard clauses of early repayment in case of changes in the shareholder control of these subsidiaries.
5. Framework governing the renewal or withdrawal of defensive measures, in particular those that provide for the limitation of the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder individually or together with other shareholders
ALTRI did not adopt any defensive measures.
6. Shareholders' agreements of which the company is aware and that may result in restrictions on the transfer of securities or voting rights
As far as we are aware, there are no shareholder agreements whose subject is the Company.

This matter is also addressed in the Annual Management Report. The up-to-date information on qualifying holdings is available at: http://www.altri.pt/pt/investors/shareholder-information/shareholder-structure
8. Number of shares and bonds held by members of the management and supervisory boards, pursuant to Article 447(5) of the Portuguese Companies Act (CSC)
The shares and bonds held by members of management and supervisory boards in the Company and in companies in a control or group relationship with the Company, directly or through related persons, are disclosed in the appendices to the Management Report as required by Article 447 of the CSC and Article 14 of Regulation 5/2008 of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission ("CMVM ").
9. Special powers of the Board of Directors as regards resolutions on the capital increase
The Board of Directors does not have any special powers, it has the competences and powers conferred on it by the CSC and the Company's Articles of Association.
We should note that Article 4 of the Company's Articles of Association, as amended by resolution taken on March 31, 2006, gave the Board of Directors the possibility of deciding, with the prior approval of the Company's supervisory body, to increase the Company's share capital, one or more times, up to the limit of 35 million Euro, by means of new cash inflows.
This statutory provision, pursuant to Article 456(2)(b) of the CSC, was in force for a period of five years, and was not renewed, pursuant to paragraph 4 of the same legal provision, expiring on March 31, 2011. From that date onwards, the General Meeting was given exclusive power in these matters.
10. Significant commercial relationships between the holders of qualifying holdings and the Company
There are no significant commercial relationships established directly between qualifying shareholders and the Company that the Company has been made aware of.
We should note, in this regard, a transaction carried out in 2018 between the Company and a company named Préstimo - Prestígio Imobiliário, S.A., in which some ALTRI directors hold managerial positions (see section 90 of this Report); the transaction involved the purchase by ALTRI of a property owned by Préstimo - Prestígio Imobiliário, S.A. to set up ALTRI's new headquarters.
This transaction, in compliance with the provisions of Article 406(e) of the CSC, as well as of Article 5(1)(a) of Decree-Law no. 495/88, in its current wording, was approved by resolution of the Board of Directors, taken at a meeting held on November 22, 2018, pursuant to which, and in compliance with the provisions of Article 397 of the CSC, there was a decision to request the prior opinion of the Company's supervisory board.
Concluding that it would occur under normal market conditions, the Company's Supervisory Board issued a favourable opinion, thus giving the go-ahead for said transaction.
Information on the deals between the Company and related parties can be found in note 30 of the Notes to the Consolidated Statements and note 18 of the Notes to the Individual Accounts concerning transactions with related parties.
B. Governing bodies and committees
I. General meeting
a) Composition of the board of the general meeting
11. Details and position of the members of the Board of the General Meeting and their terms of office
In compliance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Company's Articles of Association and Article 374 of the CSC, the board of the General Meeting is composed of a chairman and a secretary elected by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting for a three-year term of office coinciding with the mandate of the governing bodies.
As of December 31, 2018, the Board of the General Meeting was composed of the following members, in their first term of office:
Chairman: Manuel Eugénio Pimentel Cavaleiro Brandão Secretary: Maria Conceição Henriques Fernandes Cabaços
The current term of office began in 2017 and will end in 2019.
b) Exercising the voting right
12. Restrictions on voting rights
There are no statutory limitations on the exercise of voting rights at ALTRI.
The Company's share capital is fully represented by a single category of shares; each share corresponds to one vote and there are no statutory limitations on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by any shareholder.
The Company has not issued preferential shares without voting rights.
In order to participate in the General Meeting, shareholders are required to prove their status by reference to the "Registration Date" in compliance with the applicable legal provisions set forth in the Call Notice; the Company does not have requirements other than the ones established by law.
We should also note that, in line with the provisions of Article 23C(2) of the CVM, the exercise of participation and voting rights at the General Meeting is not impaired by the transfer of shares after the date of registration, nor does it require them to be blocked between that date and the date of the General Meeting.
Individual shareholders and legal persons may be represented by a person appointed for that purpose by means of a written document addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting, by letter delivered at the Company's headquarters by the end of the third business day prior to the General Meeting.
A shareholder may also, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, appoint different persons to represent shares held in different securities accounts, without prejudice to the principle of unity of vote and the possibility of voting in different directions legally provided for shareholders acting in a professional capacity.
The Company's shareholders may vote by correspondence on all matters subject to consideration by the General Meeting, by means of a written statement, with the identification of the shareholder which, in the case of a natural person, consists of a certified copy of the corresponding identity card/citizen card or passport, required in compliance with Article 5(2) of Law 7/2007, of 5 February, as amended by Law number 32/2017, of 1 June, and, in the case of a legal person, consists of a duly recognised signature, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Association, the declaration of intention to vote by correspondence must be delivered at the company's headquarters by the end of the third business day prior to the day for which the meeting is scheduled, with the identification of the sender, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting.
The Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting is responsible for checking whether the statements of vote by correspondence are compliant; votes corresponding to statements not accepted as valid will be deemed not issued.
Without prejudice to constantly monitoring the adequacy of its model and to respond immediately to any request addressed to it in a different direction, ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its general meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
In this context, the Company has not yet triggered the mechanisms required to allow exercising the right to vote by electronic means, or the possibility of attending the meeting by telematic means. These forms of voting and participation were never requested by any of the Company's Shareholders, so it is considered that the absence of such forms of voting and participation does not entail any constraint or restriction on the exercise of the right to vote and participate in General Meetings.
We should also note that the Company discloses, within the applicable legal deadlines and in all places required by law, the calls to General Meetings, which contain information on how shareholders can qualify to participate and exercise their voting rights, as well as on procedures to be adopted to allow exercising the right to vote by correspondence or to appoint a representative. The Company also discloses, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, the deliberation proposals, the preparatory information required by law, representation letter drafts and ballot papers for exercising the right to vote by correspondence, in order to guarantee, promote and encourage the participation of the shareholders or their appointed representatives in the General Meetings.
In this context, the Company believes that the current model promotes and encourages, in the terms broadly described in this Report, the participation of the Shareholders in the General Meetings.
13. Maximum percentage of voting rights that may be exercised by a single shareholder or by shareholders that are in any of the relationships referred to in Article 20(1)
There are no limitations on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder or Group of shareholders.
14. Shareholders' resolutions that, by statutory requirement, may only be taken with a qualified majority
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, corporate resolutions are taken by a majority of the votes cast, regardless of the percentage of share capital represented at the meeting, unless a different majority is required by law.
In a second call, the General Meeting may deliberate regardless of the number of shareholders present and the share capital they represent.
The deliberative quorum of the General Meeting is in accordance with the provisions of the CSC.

II. Management and supervision
a) Composition
15. Identification of the corporate governance model in place
ALTRI adopts the so-called reinforced one-tier governance model, which includes a Board of Directors and a Supervisory Board, as provided for in Article 278(1)(a) of the CSC, and a Statutory Auditor, in compliance with the provisions of Article 413(2)(a) of the CSC, by reference to the aforementioned Article 278(3).
The Board of Directors is, therefore, the body responsible for managing the Company's business in pursuit of its corporate purpose, determining its strategic orientation, without prejudice to it being monitored and assessed by the Supervisory Board, as part of its powers.
The Company continuously monitors the adequacy of the model in place, which has proved to be perfectly suitable and crucial for the Group's good performance.
. We should note that diversity policy is not a new issue for the ALTRI group.
In fact, taking into account that the activity carried out by the Group's companies is an industrial activity historically prone to male predominance, the Company has, from an early stage, encouraged the promotion of women to senior positions, such as in the case of the election of Laurentina da Silva Martins in 2009 and, in 2014, the election of Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça, both of whom remain in office in a board currently composed of 7 members.
We should also note that, out of the four divisions created within the Group since 2015, two are led by women, a fact that reflects ALTRI's approach to this matter.
At a time when there were no legal requirements, ALTRI was already quickly moving forward along this path, with a significant gender representativeness.
And this is because ALTRI's culture is based on criteria of true meritocracy.
As there is no diversity policy formally in place, precisely because we believe that diversity including, in particular, gender diversity, must be regarded as the ultimate expression of an excellent performance on the way up to senior positions, ALTRI will continue to act in strict compliance with all the applicable legal requirements, particularly upon the election of the new members of its governing bodies, at the beginning of the next mandate, due to begin in 2020.
However, we should note that the members of the Board of Directors who are currently in office have already shown that they have the individual characteristics (namely competence, independence, integrity, availability and experience, as mentioned above) to fully perform their duties in line with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders, thanks to their seniority and experience.
Last, but not least, ALTRI believes that the gender balance in its management body, which already existed before the entry into force of the Law, proves that diversity policy is not a new issue for the Group that, faithful to principles of true meritocracy, has been assigning senior management positions to women for many years.
16. Statutory rules on procedural and material requirements for the appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors, where applicable
The members of the Company's Board of Directors are elected by the Shareholders, by resolution taken at the General Meeting. The members of the Board of Directors are elected for a period of three years and can be re-elected one or more times. The Board of Directors is composed of three to nine members, shareholders or not, elected at a General Meeting.
The Group's market positioning and the results disclosed to the public, especially in 2018, show that the Company's management team has been performing its duties with a high level of expertise, precision and competence.
Also with regard to the election of the members of the Board of Directors, it is important to mention the statutory rule set forth in Article 15 of the Articles of Association, according to which, at the electoral General Meeting, one, two or three directors shall be elected individually among the candidates proposed on the lists endorsed by Groups of shareholders, depending on whether the total number is three or four, five or six, seven or more than seven, provided that none of said Groups holds shares representing more than twenty percent and less than ten per cent of the Company's share capital. Each of the aforementioned lists shall propose at least two candidates eligible for each of the available positions, one of whom will be appointed as alternate. No shareholder may endorse more than one such lists.
The General Meeting may not elect any other directors until one, two or three directors have been elected in line with the above, unless the aforementioned lists are not submitted. If the director elected in line with the above is not present, his/her alternate will be called and, if he/she is absent, there will be a new election to which all the rules described above shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
17. Composition of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors, currently composed of seven members, is the body responsible for managing the Company's business in the pursuit of its corporate purpose, as well as for determining ALTRI's strategic orientation; therefore, in carrying out its duties, the Board of Directors always acts in the manner it deems more suitable to defend the Company's interests, focused on permanently creating value for its shareholders and other stakeholders .
On December 31, 2018, this body was composed of the following members:
- Paulo Jorge dos Santos Fernandes President and Co-CEO
- João Manuel Matos Borges de Oliveira Vice-President and Co-CEO
- Domingos José Vieira de Matos Member
- Laurentina da Silva Martins Member
- Pedro Miguel Matos Borges de Oliveira Member
- Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça Member
- José Manuel de Almeida Archer Member
All the members of the Board of Directors were elected at the General Meeting held on April 26, 2017 for the 2017/2019 triennium.
| Name | First appointment | End of the term of office |
|---|---|---|
| Paulo Jorge dos Santos Fernandes | March 2005 | 31 December 2019 |
| João Manuel Matos Borges de Oliveira | March 2005 | 31 December 2019 |
| Domingos José Vieira de Matos | March 2005 | 31 December 2019 |
| Laurentina da Silva Martins | March 2009 | 31 December 2019 |
| Pedro Miguel Matos Borges de Oliveira | April 2014 | 31 December 2019 |
| Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça | April 2014 | 31 December 2019 |
| José Manuel de Almeida Archer | September 2015 | 31 December 2019 |
18. Distinction to be drawn between executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors and, as regards non-executive members, identification of the members that may be considered independent
On December 31, 2018, the Board of Directors was composed of seven members and included three non-executive members: Laurentina da Silva Martins, Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça and José Manuel de Almeida Archer.
Considering the personal profile, career and professional experience of the members of ALTRI's Board of Directors, it is considered that the number of non-executive directors, relative to the total number of members of the board, is adequate and balanced given the nature and size of the Company. In this context, ALTRI considers that there are enough non-executive directors to guarantee an effective monitoring, as well as a real supervision of the activity carried out by the executive directors, especially since the Company has developed mechanisms to enable non-executive directors to take independent and informed decisions, in particular by:
- Ensuring that the executive directors are available to provide non-executive directors with all the additional information deemed relevant or necessary, as well as to carry out further studies and analyses concerning all matters that are deliberated upon, or otherwise analysed, by the Company;
- Sending the calls for meetings to all the members of the Board of Directors in advance and in a timely manner, including the corresponding meeting agenda, even if provisional, together with all the other relevant information and documentation;
- Ensuring that all the records of the Company and its subsidiaries, namely minutes books, share registration books, contracts and other documents supporting the operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are available for examination, and that a direct channel for obtaining information is created and promoted among the directors and the operational and financial officers of the various companies that are part of the Group, without the need for executive directors to take part in that process.
In this matter, as in others, the Company ensures an ongoing assessment of the model in place, having concluded that it has proved to be adequate and efficient.
The management report includes, in the chapter "Activity carried out by the non- -executive members of the Board of Directors," a description of the activity carried out by the non-executive directors in FY 2018.
The Board of Directors has one independent member - Laurentina Martins.
She used to work at the subsidiary Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A., but left her position more than three years ago. We should note that she receives a retirement pension paid by the pension fund in force for that subsidiary's employees. However, this pension, because it is an acquired right unrelated to the fact that she holds a managerial position at ALTRI and which she will continue to receive after the termination of her service, whatever the reason for such termination, does not affect her independence.
So, ALTRI considers that both the independence criteria set forth in section 18.1 of the Annex to CMVM Regulation number 4/2013 and the independence criteria included in recommendation III.4 of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG are fully met, allowing her to be appointed as independent director.
19. Professional qualifications of the members of the Board of Directors
The curricula of the member of the Board of Directors are presented in Appendix I to this Report.

20. Regular and significant family, professional or commercial relationships between the members of the Board of Directors and shareholders to whom a qualified shareholding with voting rights exceeding 2% can be ascribed
On December 31, 2018:
The President of the Board of Directors and Co-CEO Paulo Jorge dos Santos Fernandes is a director and majority shareholder of ACTIUM CAPITAL, S.A., a company holding 12.69% of ALTRI's share capital.
The Vice-President of the Board of Directors and Co-CEO, João Manuel Matos Borges de Oliveira is a director and shareholder of CADERNO AZUL, S.A., a company holding 14.62% of ALTRI's share capital.
The director Pedro Miguel Matos Borges de Oliveira is the President of the Board of Directors of the company 1 THING, INVESTMENTS, S.A., a company holding 7% of ALTRI's share capital and is João Manuel Matos Borges de Oliveira's brother.
The director Domingos José Vieira de Matos is a director and majority shareholder of LIVREFLUXO, S.A., a company holding 11.92% of ALTRI's share capital.
The director Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça is a director and majority shareholder of PROMENDO INVESTIMENTOS, S.A., a company holding 20.74% of ALTRI's share capital.
ALTRI has a policy to prevent situations of conflicts of interest, which is enshrined in the Code of Ethics and Conduct in force in the Group.
This code is applicable across all the levels of the organisation, including to the members of governing bodies. Under the aforementioned policy, no employee or member of a governing body may play an active role in decision-making processes involving, directly or indirectly, organisations with which they collaborate or have collaborated, in other positions or which are related, directly or indirectly, to persons or entities to whom they are connected by ties of kinship (these being understood by family relations up to the third degree) or to which they are or have been bound by friendly relations.
On the other hand, we should note that this policy includes the obligation of the director who is in a situation of conflict of interests to immediately report that fact to the Board of Directors, so that all the necessary procedures can be triggered in line with the subsequent terms of the aforementioned policy.
21. Organisational charts or flowcharts concerning the allocation of powers to the various governing bodies, committees and/or departments, including information on delegations of powers, particularly with regard to the delegation of the company's day-to-day management

In accordance with ALTRI's current governance structure, the Board of Directors is the body responsible for managing the Company's business in pursuit of its corporate purpose, as well as for determining the Group's strategic orientation, always acting in the manner it deems more suitable to defend the Company's interests, focused on permanently creating value for its shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board of Directors is currently composed of seven members elected at a General Meeting, one of whom is the chairman and six members, three of whom are non-executive members.
As part of the performance of its duties, the Board of Directors is constantly interacting with the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, thus cooperating with the supervisory body in a regular, transparent and precise manner, in compliance with the corresponding operating regulations and the best corporate governance practices.
There are no limitations on the maximum number of positions that can be accumulated by the directors in the governing bodies of other companies. Therefore, most of the members of ALTRI's Board of Directors are also members of the governing bodies of the most relevant subsidiaries of the Group, ensuring that their activities are closely and permanently monitored.
ALTRI's Board of Directors encourages all operational divisions and areas to create multidisciplinary teams with a view to developing relevant projects for the Group; this multidisciplinary allows ensuring that all issues are identified and that the ways of solving these issues are analysed from different perspectives, providing a more crosscutting insight into the topics under analysis. ALTRI believes that establishing agile and effective communication channels between the Company's divisions, and between these and the operational areas, and between all of these and the boards of directors of the various subsidiaries and of the Company itself is the best way to implement projects, to identify the risks associated with these, to develop the mechanisms necessary to mitigate these risks, from a truly comprehensive perspective analysed from different points of view.
ALTRI believes that an effective flow of information within the organisation is the only way to ensure an equally adequate flow of information between the multidisciplinary teams and the governing bodies and, consequently, between these and the shareholders, investors, other stakeholders, financial analysts and the market in general.
In compliance with this Group policy, which is perfectly in line with recommendation I.1.1. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, and in compliance with the applicable legal regulations, ALTRI has been ensuring the accurate and timely disclosure of information to the market, through the CMVM's Information Disclosure System (CMVM's IDS), guaranteeing that this information is made available to its shareholders, other stakeholders and the market in general at the same time and with the same level of detail.
In line with the above, ALTRI lists the Company's Committees and/or departments and their powers and attributions:
Remuneration Committee
The Board of Directors considers that, given the specific organisational structure and size of the Company (as detailed in section 28 below), the only specialised committee that is necessary is the Remuneration Committee.
The Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for assessing the performance and approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies. This committee is responsible, in compliance with the provisions of Article 2(1) of Law 28/2009, of 19 June, and of recommendation V.2.3. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, for preparing the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy, as well as for preparing a proposal for the approval of said Policy and for submitting it to the General Meeting, which is the deliberating body responsible for deciding on these matters. Once the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is approved by the Shareholders at a General Meeting, this committee is responsible for enforcing its application, while ensuring that it is in line with the Company's reality.
In terms of corporate management, ALTRI highlights the following areas:
Corporate Finance Area
ALTRI's Corporate Finance area, given its integrated vision which cuts across all the Group's companies, is responsible, on the one hand, for outlining financial management strategies and policies and, on the other hand, for acting as an interface between the Company and the capital, debt and banking markets. It is also responsible for developing the mechanisms necessary for implementing the proposed financial management strategies and policies.
Management Planning and Control Area
ALTRI's management planning and control area provides support in the implementation of the corporate and/or business strategies followed by the Group. This area prepares and analyses management information from all Group companies, as well as consolidated information, be it monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual, monitoring deviations from the budget and proposing the necessary corrective measures. It is also responsible for outlining business plans, integrating the multidisciplinary work teams created for this purpose; these activities are carried out together with the development of technical and benchmarking studies focused on the existing businesses, in order to monitor ALTRI's performance considering its strategic position in the market.
Legal & Compliance Area
The Legal and Compliance area provides legal support to all areas of activity of the Group, monitoring and ensuring, on the one hand, that all activities are carried out in compliance with the law and ensuring, on the other hand, a good relationship with Euronext Lisbon, CMVM and the shareholders when legal issues are in question. This area is also responsible for monitoring the corporate governance policy to ensure compliance with the best practices in this area. It is also responsible for preparing and/or analysing contracts that allow maximising security and reducing legal risks and potential costs, as well as for managing aspects related to the Group's intellectual and industrial property, while performing corporate secretarial duties to ensure the constant monitoring of legal compliance. This area is also responsible for providing legal support in financing operations carried out in the capital market and for providing internal legal support in mergers and acquisitions. This area of the Group monitors all legislative changes with an impact on the Group's activity, analyses and identifies the consequences of these changes in the corresponding business areas and prepares memoranda and internal notes on the changes that should be considered, with proposals for procedures to be implemented. This is, therefore, a back-office area that monitors and supports the Board of Directors to ensure its strategies are implemented in full compliance with the law.
Investor Relations Area
ALTRI's investor relations area establishes a relationship between the Group and the financial community, by permanently disclosing relevant and up-to-date information about its activity. It is also responsible for assisting the Board of Directors when it comes to providing up-to-date information about the capital market, as well as for supporting the management of ALTRI,'s institutional relations, by liaising with institutional investors, shareholders and analysts and representing the Group in associations, forums or events (national or international).
Subsidiary Management Control Area
We should add that the operating companies of the ALTRI Group have their own management control areas that carry out their activity within the subsidiaries, in compliance with ALTRI's guidelines, and prepare monthly reports on the corresponding Boards of Directors, which, in turn, ensure a regular and permanent flow of information between themselves and the Company's Board of Directors.
ALTRI's Board of Directors is organised as follows:

ALTRI's directors are mainly focused on managing the Group's holdings and outlining its strategic guidelines. Decisions regarding matters of structural importance for the Group's activity are taken by the Board of Directors as a collective body including all its members, executive and non-executive, in the normal performance of their duties.
The day-to-day management of the operating companies is ensured by the boards of directors of the various subsidiaries, which usually include members who are also directors at ALTRI, in addition to other directors with specific powers and responsibilities.
We should note that the fact that the Company's directors hold managerial positions in subsidiaries gives them in-depth knowledge of the business, close to its operations and its people; this means that the decisions taken at ALTRI, as the group's holding, are more thoughtful and informed.
ALTRI believes that the deeper the knowledge of the Company's directors about the specifics and subtleties of the business, the better their decisions on strategic lines and, consequently, the more successful the decisions taken by the top management.
Accordingly, and considering the activities developed by the members of the Board of Directors, both at ALTRI and at its subsidiaries, the Company's functional organisation chart is as follows:

b) Functioning
22. Availability and location of the regulations governing the functioning of the Board of Directors
The regulations governing the functioning of the Board of Directors are available on the Company's Internet webpage at (www.altri.pt) ("Investors" tab, "Governance" section).
23. Number of meetings held by the Board of Directors and attendance record of its members
Article 17 of the Company's Articles of Association establishes that the Board of Directors shall meet whenever it is convened by its chairman, on his own initiative or at the request of other directors and, at least, once a month.
The quorum for any meeting of the Board of Directors requires that the majority of its members be present or duly represented.
In 2018, the Board of Directors held twelve meetings which were attended by all its members.
The meetings of the Board of Directors are scheduled and prepared in advance, and all the documentation supporting the proposals included in the agenda is made available, ensuring that the conditions are in place for directors to fully exercise their duties and take fully informed decisions.
Similarly, call notices and, subsequently, meeting minutes are sent to the chairman of the Board of Directors, creating a regular flow of information that fosters an active and permanent supervision.
24. Details regarding the governing bodies responsible for assessing the performance of executive directors
In line with what is stated in section 21 above, the Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for assessing the performance and approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies. This committee is responsible, in compliance with the provisions of Article 2(1) of Law 28/2009, of 19 June, and of recommendation V.2.3. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, for preparing the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy, as well as for preparing a proposal for the approval of said Policy and for submitting it to the General Meeting, which is the deliberating body responsible for deciding on these matters.
Once the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy reflected in said Declaration is approved by the Shareholders at a General Meeting, this committee is responsible for enforcing its application, while ensuring that it is in line with the Company's reality.
At least one member of the Remuneration Committee must attend the Annual General Meetings at which the Declaration on Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is deliberated upon, in order to ensure that any doubts regarding said Declaration that may arise therein are clarified. The committee was represented by Pedro Pessanha at the Annual General Meeting held in 2018.
25. Pre-established criteria for assessing the performance of executive directors
The assessment of the performance of executive directors is based on pre-established criteria, based on performance indicators objectively set for each term of office, which are in line with the Company's medium-/long-term performance and business growth strategy.
The remuneration of the executive members of the Board of Directors includes a medium-term variable component (period between 2011 and 2019, corresponding to three terms) calculated based on objective and pre-established criteria, namely: (i) total return for the shareholder (share remuneration plus dividend paid); (ii) sum of the net consolidated income for the 9 years and; (iii) evolution of the Company's business.
26. Availability of each of the members of the Board of Directors and details of the positions held at the same time in other companies within and outside the group, and other relevant activities carried out by members of these boards throughout the financial year
ALTRI's directors are fully committed to their demanding duties. Therefore, the Group's senior managers are very present, being close to their people and their business.
Their professional activities, the names of other companies where they perform management duties and details of other relevant activities carried out by them are presented in Appendix I to this Regulation.
c) Committees within the management or supervisory body and managing directors
27. Identification of the committees created within the Board of Directors and the location where the regulations governing their functioning are available
The Board of Directors considers that, given the specific organisational structure and size of the Company (detailed in section 28 below), the only specialised committee that is necessary is the Remuneration Committee.
ALTRI has formally set up a Remuneration Committee, elected at the General Meeting for the term corresponding to the three-year period started in 2017 and ending in 2019, which is composed as follows
- Chairman: João da Silva Natária
- Member: André Seabra Ferreira Pinto
- Member: Pedro Nuno Fernandes de Sá Pessanha da Costa
The Remuneration Committee has a regulation valid for the current term which is available on the Company's website (www.altri.pt)("Investors" tab, "Governance" section).
28. Composition, if applicable, of the executive committee and/or identification of the managing director(s)
As mentioned throughout this Report, ALTRI is continuously monitoring the adequacy of the model in place. In terms of organisational structure, this constant monitoring has allowed concluding that, given the small size of the Board of Directors, which is composed of seven members, there is no need to formally appoint an Executive Committee within that body.
However, as mentioned in section 18 of this Report, four of the seven members of the Board of Directors perform duties which can be considered executive - with a more practical or operational nature - who, in the performance of their duties, are responsible for:
- sending the calls for meetings to all the members of the Board of Directors in advance and in a timely manner, including the corresponding meeting agenda, even if provisional, together with all the other relevant information and documentation;
- ensuring that the executive directors are available to provide non-executive directors with all the additional information deemed relevant or necessary, as well as to carry out further studies and analyses concerning all matters that are deliberated upon, or otherwise analysed, by the Company, and;
- ensuring that all the records of the Company and its subsidiaries, namely minutes books, share registration books, documents supporting the operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are available for control and examination purposes, and that a direct channel for obtaining information is created and promoted among the directors and operational and financial officers of the subsidiaries of the Group, without the need for executive directors to take part in that process.
Therefore, the Company believes that the necessary conditions are in place for decisions on matters of structural importance to be, as they are, taken by the Board of Directors as a collective body including all its members, executive and nonexecutive, in the normal performance of their duties, in an informed manner, totally focused on creating value for the shareholders.
Nevertheless, and as mentioned above, the Board of Directors has been regularly reflecting on the adequacy of its organisational structure. These reflections have always led to the conclusion that the existing structure complies with the best corporate governance practices, a fact that has been resulting is a positive performance reflected in the Company's Report & Accounts.
29. Description of the powers of each of the committees and summary of the activities carried out in the exercise of the corresponding powers
In line with what is stated in sections 21 and 24 above, the Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for assessing the performance and approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies. This committee is responsible, in compliance with the provisions of Article 2(1) of Law 28/2009, of 19 June, and of recommendation V.2.3. of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, for preparing the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy, as well as for preparing a proposal for the approval of said Policy and for submitting it to the General Meeting, which is the deliberating body responsible for deciding on these matters.
Once the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is approved by the Shareholders at a General Meeting, this committee is responsible for enforcing its application, while ensuring that it is in line with the Company's reality.
Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is responsible for: (i) Supporting the President of the Board of the General Meeting in convening General Meetings, making sure that the information sent to the Company by the President of the Board for the purpose of attending and voting at meetings is received; (ii) Preparing the minutes and attendance lists of Shareholder Meetings; (iii) Supporting and supervising the preparation of documents supporting General Meetings; (iv) Preparing the necessary documents to convene meetings of the Board of Directors, making sure that they are sent in a timely manner and effectively received by all the directors; (v) Supporting the flow of information between the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board; (vi) Preparing replies to shareholders pursuant to the law and in matters for which he/she has competence or obtaining answers internally, from the relevant areas, to ensure, at all times, that the Shareholders are provided with the necessary information and (vii) ensuring that corporate resolutions are registered with the Companies Register in a timely manner.
All corporate secretarial duties were regularly performed in 2018.

a) Composition
30. Identification of the supervisory body corresponding to the model in place
According to the governance model that has been adopted, the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor are the Company's supervisory bodies.
31. Composition of the Supervisory Board, indicating the minimum and maximum number of members, the statutory term of office, the number of effective members, the date of first appointment and the date of expiration of each member's term of office
The members of the Supervisory Board are elected at a General Meeting for a period of three years and can be re-elected one or more times. It is composed of three members and one or two alternates, and it fully takes on the duties assigned to it by law, which include making a proposal for the appointment of the Statutory Auditor or Audit Firm, in compliance with the provisions of Article 413(1)(b) of the CSC, fulfilling a duty that it also assigned to it pursuant to Article 420(2)(b) of the CSC.
On December 31, 2018, this body was composed of the following members:
- Chairman: Pedro Nuno Fernandes de Sá Pessanha da Costa
- Member: António Luís Isidro de Pinho
- Member: Guilherme Paulo Aires da Mota Correia Monteiro
- Substitute: André Seabra Ferreira Pinto
The members of the Supervisory Board, Pedro Pessanha and André Pinto, were elected for the first time in April 2014, for the term of office that began in 2014 and ended in 2016, so they are currently in their second term of office. The members António Pinho and Guilherme Monteiro were elected for the first time in April 2017 for the three-year term which began in 2017 and ends in 2019.
32. . Identification of the members of the Supervisory Board who are considered independent pursuant to Article 414(5) of the CSC
As a collective body, the Supervisory Board's independence depends on the independence of each of its members, which is assessed in accordance with the definition given under the terms of Article 414(5), and any incompatibilities are assessed in accordance with the definition of Article 414-A(1), both of the CSC.
All the members of the Company's Supervisory Board thus comply with the independence rules identified above and are not in any of the incompatibility situations established by law. Each of the members individually signs a declaration for this purpose which is submitted to the Company.
33. Professional qualifications of each of the members of the Supervisory Board and other relevant curricular information
All the members of ALTRI's Supervisory Board have the formation, competence and experience that allow them to fully exercise their duties, in line with the provisions of Article 414(4) of the CSC and Article 3(2) of Law 148/2015, of 9 September. The President is duly supported by the other members of the Supervisory Board.
The professional qualifications and other activities carried out by the Supervisory Board are presented in Appendix I to this Report.
b) Functioning
34. Availability and location of the regulations governing the functioning of the Supervisory Board
The regulation governing the functioning of the Supervisory Board is available on the Company's website (www.altri.pt) ("Investors" tab, "Governance section").
35. Number of meetings held by the Supervisory Board and attendance record of its members
In 2018, the Supervisory Board held six meetings which were attended by all its members. The minutes of the aforementioned meetings are recorded in the Supervisory Board minutes book, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
36. Availability of each of the members of the Supervisory Board and details of the positions held at the same time in other companies within and outside the group, and other relevant activities
The members of Supervisory Board have undertaken a commitment to the Company, which they have been scrupulously fulfilling, showing an availability that is fully in line with ALTRI's interests. The information about the qualifications, professional experience and other positions held by the members of the Supervisory Board is detailed in Appendix I to this Report.

c) Powers and duties
37. Description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the supervisory body for the purposes of hiring additional services from the external auditor
The Supervisory Board is responsible for giving prior approval to the provision of services other than audit services by the External Auditor.
As a preliminary remark, we should note that the Board of Directors, when considering the possibility of hiring the External Auditor or the Statutory Auditor to provide additional services, makes sure, before communicating its decision to the Supervisory Board, that the External Auditor or the Statutory Auditor or entities within their networks are not hired to provide services that, pursuant to Commission Recommendation C(2002) 1873 of 16 May, could compromise their independence.
Once the Board of Directors concludes that the conditions are in place and puts forward the subject to the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board carries out an in-depth analysis of the additional services to be provided by the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor, taking a favourable decision if the analysis shows that: (i) hiring the additional services does not compromise the External Auditor's independence; (ii) there is a healthy balance between the regular audit services and the additional services whose provision is under analysis and that (iii) the provision of the additional services which are being proposed is not prohibited pursuant to Article 77(8) of Law number 140/2015. In this analysis, the Supervisory Board also ascertains whether (iv) the additional services will be provided in compliance with the quality standards in force in the Group, while ensuring that, should these services be provided, they do not compromise the independence required for the performance of audit duties.
In this regard, we should note that Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., prior to accepting the award of the services, also carries out, in compliance with its internal policies, a strict assessment to make sure that the services it proposes to provide do not compromise, under any circumstances, the independence criteria it undertook to meet upon accepting the election to perform its duties.
Therefore, the Company considers that there is a threefold degree of control ensuring that the independence criteria are not compromised when it decides to hire the External Auditor to provide additional services
We should also note that the Supervisory Board receives, every year, the declaration of independence of the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor, which describes the services that were provided by them and by other entities within their network, the fees that were paid, possible threats to their independence and safeguard measures to deal with them.
Any potential threats to the independence of the External Auditor, as well as the respective safeguard measures are assessed and discussed in an open and transparent manner between the Supervisory Board and the External Auditor.
38. Other duties of the supervisory body
The Supervisory Board is responsible for supervising the Company, fulfilling the duties provided for in Article 420 of the CSC and its Regulations.
38.1. The Supervisory Board, in the performance of its statutory and legally assigned duties, is responsible for:
- a) Supervising the Company's management;
- b) Ensuring compliance with the law and the company's articles of association;
- c) Preparing, every year, a report on its supervisory activity and giving an opinion on the report, accounts and proposals presented by the Board of Directors;
- d) Convening the General Meeting whenever the chairman of the board fails to do so;
- e) Supervising the effectiveness of the risk management, internal control and internal audit systems;
- f) Receiving reports of irregularities submitted by shareholders, employees or third parties;
- g) Hiring experts to provide services that support one or several members in the performance of their duties; these experts should be hired and remunerated according to the importance of the matters entrusted to them and the Company's economic situation;
- h) Fulfilling all other duties provided by law or the Company's articles of association;
- i) Supervising the preparation and disclosure of the financial information;
- j) Proposing to the General Assembly the appointment of the Statutory Auditor;
- k) Supervising the accounting review of the Company's financial statements;
- l) Supervising the independence of the Statutory Auditor, namely regarding the provision of additional services.
38.2. In order to perform these duties, the Supervisory Board:
- a) Obtains from the Management the information required to carry out its activity, namely on the operational and financial evolution of the company, changes in the composition of its portfolio, terms of operations that are carried out and contents of decisions that are taken;
- b) Monitors the risk management and internal control system, preparing an annual assessment report and recommendations addressed to the Management, where necessary;
- c) Receives, at least five days before the meeting, the individual and consolidated financial statements, and the associated Management reports, analysing, in particular, the main changes, relevant transactions and the corresponding accounting procedures and clarifications obtained from the Management, namely through the Board of Directors and the external auditor, and issues its assessments and resolutions;
- d) Informs the Management of analyses and inspections that are carried out and measures that are taken and the corresponding results;
- e) Attends the General Meetings and the meetings of the Board of Directors to which he/she is convened or at which the accounts for each financial year are discussed;
- f) Carries out an annual self-assessment of its activity and performance, including the review of these regulations, with the aim of developing and implementing measures to improve its functioning;
- g) Performs all other duties that are assigned to him/her by law.
In addition, the Supervisory Board represents the Company before the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor being responsible, in particular, for proposing the entity which should provide said services and its remuneration, while ensuring that the Group has the appropriate conditions in place to enable said services to be provided.
The Supervisory Board is the first recipient of the reports issued by the External Auditor and Statutory Auditor, as well as the Group's interface in its relationships with those entities, and it is also responsible for deciding on relevant projects and work plans and on the adequacy of the resources allocated to the implementation of these projects.
The Supervisory Board is therefore responsible for preparing, every year, a report on its supervisory activity and giving an opinion on the report, accounts and proposals presented by the management, as well as for supervising the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system.
The Supervisory Board, in coordination with the Board of Directors, regularly analyses and supervises the preparation and disclosure of financial information, providing all the necessary support, based on the assumption, given the nature of the Company, that no data must be disclosed in any way that may lead to an unauthorised and untimely access to relevant information by third parties.
In addition, the supervisory body is called upon to intervene in order to issue an opinion whenever there is a transaction between ALTRI directors and the Company itself or between ALTRI and companies in a control or group relationship, where one of the parties is a director, pursuant to Article 397 of the CSC.
The Supervisory Board will be called upon to give its opinion regardless of the materiality of the operation in question.
On the other hand, as part of the Company's supervisory body and within the scope of the internal audit, the External Auditor analyses (i) the functioning of internal control mechanisms, reporting any weaknesses that may be identified; (ii) checks whether the main elements of the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the Company regarding the process of disclosure of financial information are presented and disclosed in the annual information on Corporate Governance and (iii) issues a legal certification of accounts and Audit Report, which certifies that the report on the corporate governance structure and practices includes the elements referred to in Article 66B of the CSC in its current wording or, if that is not the case, ensuring that such information is included in another report that is also provided to the shareholders, that the provisions of Article 245A of the CVM are complied with, that it conforms to the structure in CMVM Regulation number 4/2013, and that it includes a declaration of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG.
In FY 2018, the Statutory Auditor monitored the development of the Company's activities and carried out the examinations and checks deemed necessary for the legal review and certification of accounts, in interaction with the Supervisory Board and always relying on the cooperation of the Board of Directors, which provided all information that was requested as quickly as possible.

In line with the above, the Statutory Auditor gave its opinion on the activity carried out in 2018, and this information was included in its annual audit report, which will be submitted to the Shareholders for approval at the Annual General Meeting.
The supervisory body is responsible for monitoring ALTRI and its subsidiaries and ensuring that they comply with the legislation applicable to their areas of business, in order to carry out a precise and careful analysis of the levels of compliance within the Group. This analysis allowed concluding that the Group, in the course of its activity, has been achieving high levels of compliance, which are perfectly in line with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
IV. Statutory auditor
39. Details of the statutory auditor and the partner who represents it
ALTRI's Statutory Auditor is Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., represented by Rui Manuel da Cunha Vieira or Rui Abel Serra Martins.
40. Number of consecutive years for which the statutory auditor has been providing services for the company and/or group
Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A. has been responsible for auditing the accounts of the Company and the Group companies since 2017, having been elected for its first term, upon proposal of the Supervisory Board, at the General Meeting held on April 26, 2017.
41. Description of other services provided by the Statutory Auditor to the company
The statutory auditor is, simultaneously, the Company's External Auditor as detailed below.
V. External Auditor
42. Identification of the external auditor appointed for the purposes of Article 8 and of the audit firm partner who represents it, as well as the corresponding CMVM registration number
The Company's External Auditor, appointed pursuant and for the purposes of Article 8 of the CVM, is Ernst & Young Audit & Associados - SROC, S.A., represented by Rui Manuel da Cunha Vieira or Rui Abel Serra Martins, registered at the CMVM under no. 1154 and under no. 1119, respectively.
43. Number of consecutive years for which the external auditor and the partner who represents it have been providing services for the company and/or
The External Auditor was elected for the first time in 2017, being in the second year of its first term of office, as well as the partners who represent it.
44. Policy on the rotation of the external auditor and the partner who represents it in the performance of its duties
With regard to the rotation of the External Auditor, the Company had not established, until the date of entry into force of the new Statute of the Institute of Statutory Auditors, approved by Law no. 140/2015, of 7 September, a policy on the rotation of the External Auditor based on a predetermined number of terms, taking into account, in particular, the fact that such a rotation policy is not common or standard practice and that, as part of the continuous monitoring of the adequacy and fairness of the model in place, it never identified situations of loss of independence or any other situations that would make it advisable to adopt a formal policy requiring such rotation.
The entry into force of the new Statute of the Institute of Statutory Auditors on 1 January 2016 laid down a new scheme applicable to the rotation of statutory auditors for companies whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market, such as our Company. For this reason, in 2016, the Supervisory Board launched a selection process with the purpose of electing a new Statutory Auditor that, in compliance with all the legal requirements in terms of technical competence and independence, could be elected at an Annual General Meeting, an election that occurred at the Annual General Meeting held in 2017.
In this context, the Company does not have a formal internal policy providing for the rotation of the External Auditor, considering it unnecessary, since it fully complies with all legal requirements in this matter.
45. Details of the body responsible for assessing the external auditor and frequency with which this assessment is carried out
The Supervisory Board, in the exercise of its duties, monitors the performance of the External Auditor throughout the year and assesses its independence on an annual basis. In addition, the Supervisory Board promotes, where necessary or appropriate depending on the Company's activities or legal or market requirements, a reflection on the adequacy of the External Auditor to the level required for the performance of its duties.
46. Details of services, other than audit services, provided by the external auditor and internal procedures in place for approving the hiring of such services and the reasons justifying their approval
No services other than audit services were provided by the external auditor in 2018.

C. Internal organisation
I. Articles of association
48. Rules governing amendments to the articles of association
Statutory amendments follow the applicable legal provisions, in particular of the Portuguese Companies Act, which require a majority of two-thirds of the issued votes for the adoption of such a resolution.
II. Reporting of Irregularities
49. Reporting means and policy on the reporting of irregularities in the company
ALTRI has a Code of Ethics and Conduct that reflects the principles and rules that should guide the internal and external relationships established between all the companies of the ALTRI Group and its stakeholders, and its main objective is to guide the personal and professional conduct of all employees, regardless of their position or the duties they perform, based on common ethical principles.
The Code of Ethics and Conduct was provided to all Employees and Partners and is available on the Company's website (www.altri.pt) ("Investors" tab, "Governance" section).
The Code of Ethics and Conduct applies to all ALTRI Group employees, including members of the governing bodies of all Group companies, as well as – with the required adaptions - to agents, external auditors, customers, suppliers and other service providers, either regularly or occasionally.
All ALTRI Group Employees should guide their conduct by the following principles:
- Strict compliance with the law, regulations, recommendations and statutory provisions, as well as the internal rules, policies and guidelines of the ALTRI Group;
- Integrity, ethics, transparency and honesty in decision making;
- Cooperation and professionalism in relations with partners and with the local communities in which each ALTRI Group company operates;
- Loyalty, discipline and good faith in the conducting of business in line with the ALTRI Group's objectives.
- Great awareness of the need for all the information that is produced or accessed in the performance of their duties to be treated as confidential;
- Diligent and careful treatment of all the work tools or assets of the ALTRI Group companies, ensuring their protection and good state of repair, refraining from using them for personal benefit.
The Supervisory Board is the body to which any irregular situations should be reported by employees, partners, suppliers or any other stakeholders.
The ALTRI Group has a specific mechanism for reporting irregular situations which, in accordance with the purposes of Recommendation number I.2.5 of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, are ethical or legal violations with a significant impact on the areas of accounting, the fight against corruption and banking and financial crime (Whistleblowing), which protects the confidentiality of the information that is provided and the identity of the whistle-blower, where requested.
If the Board of Director receives a request for clarification or an expression of concern regarding the Whistleblowing system, it will be immediately forwarded to the Supervisory Board.
Any actual or suspected irregularity should be reported to the Supervisory Board by means of a closed letter with a reference to its confidentiality sent to the following address: Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, no. 818, 4100-320 Porto. Anonymous reports will only be accepted and handled under exceptional circumstances.
We should note that no irregular situations were reported to the Company's Supervisory Board in 2018.
III. Internal control and risk management
50. Individuals, boards or committees responsible for the internal audit and/or implementation of the internal control systems
Risk management, as the cornerstone of the principles of good corporate governance, is an area regarded as crucial by ALTRI, which promotes the permanent awareness of all its employees across all the levels of the organisation, instilling such responsibility across all decision-making processes.
Risk management is carried out based on a rationale of value creation, with a clear identification of the situations that may threaten the company's business goals.
Environmental management, based on sustainability criteria, and Social Responsibility are playing an increasingly important role within the organisation and, in these areas, risk management is also being more carefully monitored.
Despite the fact that there isn't a department specifically created for this purpose, risk management is ensured within the ALTRI Group by each of its divisions, which are sufficiently and deeply aware of the need to identify and quantify the risk associated with any and all decisions, based on criteria that are communicated to them and enable them to assess, autonomously and in each individual case, whether the risk in question can be taken by the management or whether the decision on taking such risk, according to criteria of materiality or exposure of the Group, is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the company in question, either ALTRI or any of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Group's operational teams operate based on clear criteria of (i) risk-taking levels and who should make the decision on whether or not to take them; (ii) the identification of ways to mitigate such risks; (iii) personal accountability, leading to more thoughtful decision-making.
Risk management is thus ensured by all ALTRI divisions, based on the following methodology, which includes several stages:
- The first stage is the identification and prioritisation of internal and external risks that may have a material impact on the pursuit of the Group's strategic goals;
- The operational managers of the various Group divisions identify the risk factors and events that may affect ALTRI's operations and activities, as well as possible control processes and mechanisms;
- In addition, the impact and likelihood of occurrence of each risk factor are weighted and, depending on the level of exposure, the need to respond to the risk is assessed; and
- Risk mitigation measures are monitored and the level of exposure to critical factors is constantly monitored.
The Board of Directors is responsible for deciding the level of exposure assumed by the Group in its different activities at each moment and, without prejudice to any delegation of duties and responsibilities, for setting overall risk levels and making sure that risk management policies and procedures are being followed.
In monitoring the risk management process, the Board of Directors, as the body responsible for ALTRI's strategy, has the following set of objectives and responsibilities:
- Knowing the most significant risks that affect the Group;
- Ensuring that the Group has an appropriate knowledge of the risks that affect its operations and how to manage them;
- Ensuring that the risk management strategy is disseminated across all hierarchical levels;
- Ensuring that the Group can minimise the probability of occurrence and the impact of the risks on the business;
- Ensuring that the risk management process is appropriate and that the risks with a higher probability of occurring and with a greater impact on the Group's operations are strictly monitored;
- Ensuring permanent communication with the Supervisory Board, informing it of the level of exposure of the risk that was taken and requesting, where necessary, the opinions of this body that it deems necessary for making thoughtful and informed decisions, ensuring that the identified risks and outlined policies are analysed under the multidisciplinary perspectives that guide the group's performance.
Subsidiaries manage risks within the criteria and powers that have been established.
The Supervisory Board is permanently monitoring and supervising the group's performance in this matter.
Based on this methodology, ALTRI has come to the conclusion that it has managed to ensure greater awareness and thoughtfulness in decision making across all levels of the organisation, given the inherent responsibility of each internal player, which contributes to people feeling empowered and truly involved as active participants in the Company's performance.
ALTRI, as it has been repeatedly mentioned throughout this report, is constantly monitoring the adequacy of its model also as part of the area of risk management, and has concluded that, to date, it has proved perfectly suitable to its organisational structure.

51. Details of hierarchical and/or functional dependency relationships with other governing bodies or committees
The Supervisory Board is responsible for assessing the risk management mechanisms, and the control procedures deemed suitable for mitigation are reported to this body. It is therefore the responsibility of this body to supervise the measures taken by the Company regarding these matters and to periodically check whether the risks effectively incurred by the Company are consistent with what has been outlined by the Board of Directors.
The External Auditor, in the exercise of its duties, checks the adequacy of the mechanisms and procedures in question, reporting its findings to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring said mechanisms and procedures.
52. Other functional areas responsible for risk control
At ALTRI, risk management is ensured by all the divisions and operational units, as comprehensively described in section 51 above. ALTRI, as it has been repeatedly mentioned throughout this report, is constantly monitoring the adequacy of its model also as part of the area of risk management, and has concluded that, to date, it has proved perfectly suitable to its organisational structure.
53. Identification and description of the major economic, financial and legal risks to which the company is exposed as part of its business activity
The Board of Directors considers that the Group is exposed to the normal risks arising from its activity, namely at the level of its operating units. We highlight the following risk factors:
Credit Risk
As in any activity involving a commercial component, credit risk is a major factor considered by the management regarding the operating units.
This risk is monitored and controlled through a system aimed at collecting financial and qualitative information, ensured by credible entities that provide risk information, making it possible to assess the customers' capacity to meet their obligations, in order to mitigate the risk associated with loans.
The credit risk assessment is carried out on a regular basis, considering the economic conditions at any given time and the specific credit position of each of the companies, adopting corrective procedures where appropriate.
Credit risk is mitigated by managing the risk concentration of the customer portfolio and by a stringent selection of counterparties, as well as by taking out credit insurance with specialised institutions to cover a significant part of the loans that are granted.
Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Considering the indebtedness to which the Group is exposed, any variations in the interest rate may have an undesirable impact on its results. In this context, an appropriate management of interest rate risk leads the Group to try to optimise the balance between the cost of debt and the exposure to interest rate variability. Thus, when the desired limit of exposure to interest rate risk is considered to have been exceeded, the Company enters into interest rate swaps that cover its exposure to risk and reduce the volatility of its results.
The Group's exposure to the interest rate risk stems essentially from Euribor-indexed long-term loans.
Exchange Rate Risk
As there is a great volume of transactions with non-resident entities and denominated in currencies other than the Euro, exchange rate variation may have a relevant impact on the Group's performance. Accordingly, where necessary, the Group seeks to hedge its exposure to exchange rate variability by using derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of its results.
Commodity price variability risk
Because it carries out its activity in a sector where commodities (paper pulp) are traded, the Group is particularly exposed to price variations, with the corresponding impact on results. However, operating in these sectors allows it to enter into contracts to hedge price changes in pulp, at the amounts and values deemed appropriate to the planned operations, thus reducing the volatility of its results.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk can occur if the available sources of financing, such as operating cash flows, divestment flows, credit line flows and cash flows obtained from financing operations, fail to meet the existing financing needs, such as cash outflows for operating and financing activities, investments, shareholder remuneration and debt repayment.
The main objective of the liquidity risk management policy is to ensure that the Group has, at all times, the necessary financial resources to meet its responsibilities and to pursue the strategies outlined in compliance with all its commitments to third parties, as they become due, by adequately managing the maturity of the corresponding loans.
Therefore, the Group adopts an active refinancing strategy based on the maintenance of a high level of immediately available resources to meet short-term needs and by extending or preserving debt maturities according to the expected cash flows and the capacity to leverage its balance sheet.
Legal, Fiscal and Regulatory Risks
ALTRI, as well as its business, have permanent legal, fiscal and regulatory advice, provided in cooperation with the business areas, ensuring that the Group's interests are preventively protected in strict compliance with the legal provisions applicable to the business areas in which the Company operates.
This advice is also supported at the national and international level by external service providers hired by ALTRI, which selects highly reputed firms that operate according to the highest standards of competence, precision and professionalism.
However, ALTRI and its subsidiaries may be affected, like any other entity, by legislative changes that occur in Portugal, the European Union or other countries where it operates. ALTRI does not, of course, control such changes which, if they do occur, could have an adverse impact on the Group's business and could consequently undermine or hinder the achievement of the strategic objectives. ALTRI's policy in this area is to delegate to the Legal Department the permanent monitoring of legislative changes and new legal acts, being informed in this matter and able to permanently respond to the challenges that may arise from the materialisation of legal, fiscal and regulatory risks.
Forest Risk
ALTRI, through its subsidiary Altri Florestal, manages about 80,000 hectares of forest, 80% of which is eucalyptus. This forest is certified by the FSC®1 (Forest Stewardship Council®) and the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), which set out principles and criteria for assessing the sustainability of forest management from the economic, environmental and social points of view.
In this context, all forestry activities are geared towards the optimisation of the available resources, safeguarding the environmental stability and the ecological values present in its assets and guaranteeing their development.
The risks associated with any forestry activity are also present in the management of Altri Florestal. Forest fires, as well as the pests and diseases which can occur in the different forests spread throughout the Portuguese territory are the greatest risks faced by the sector in which it operates. These threats, if they do occur, affect the normal operation of forest holdings and the efficiency of production according to their intensity.
In order to prevent and reduce the impact of forest fires, Altri Florestal is part of an economic interest group called Afocelca whose purpose is to provide, coordinate and manage the means available for fighting fires. On the other hand, it makes large investments to clear forest areas in order to reduce the risks of fire propagation, as well as to reduce possible losses.
The occurrence of pests and diseases can significantly reduce the growth of forest stands causing irreversible productivity damages. Integrated control procedures have been put in place to combat pests and diseases, either through biological control or using plant protection products to control harmful insect populations and reduce the negative impact of their presence. On the other hand, in the most affected areas, Altri Florestal is using new plantations with more suitable genetic material that, due to their characteristics, are better able to resist to risks caused by biotic and abiotic factors.
In any case, and in a scenario of materialisation of the consequences of any risk associated with its activity, the Group's policy is to ensure a permanent collaboration with the competent authorities, providing all the necessary information in an open and transparent manner.
54. Description of the procedure for identifying, assessing, monitoring, controlling and managing risks
As described in section 52, the Board of Directors is the body responsible for outlining the Group's general strategic policies, including the risk management policy, being duly supported by the teams that manage its subsidiaries, which ensure, not only a constant monitoring, but also that any situations that are detected are reported to the Board of Directors, in order to guarantee a permanent and effective risk control.
At ALTRI, risks are identified and assessed, monitored, controlled and managed as follows:
The risks faced by the Group in the normal performance of its activity are identified. There is an assessment of all the material risks with an impact on the Group's financial performance and value. Then there is a study to compare the value at risk with the costs of the hedging instruments, if any, and, consequently, the evolution of the risks that are identified and the hedging instruments is monitored according to the following methodology:
- The first stage is the identification and prioritisation of internal and external risks that may have a material impact on the pursuit of the Group's strategic goals;
- The operational managers of the various operational units of the Group identify the risk factors and events that may affect ALTRI's operations and activities, as well as possible control processes and mechanisms;
- In addition, the impact and likelihood of occurrence of each risk factor are weighted and, depending on the level of exposure, the need to respond to the risk is assessed; and
- Risk mitigation measures are monitored and the level of exposure to critical factors is constantly monitored.
The Company has been implementing additional risk management strategies essentially aimed at ensuring that the control systems and procedures, as well as the policies that are adopted allow meeting the management bodies', the shareholders' and other stakeholders' expectations.
We highlight the following strategies:
- The control systems and procedures and policies in place are in accordance with all the applicable laws and regulations and are effectively enforced;
- All financial and operational information is comprehensive, reliable, safe and disclosed periodically and in a timely manner.
- ALTRI's resources are used in an efficient and rational manner; and
- Value for shareholders is maximised and the Company's operational management takes the necessary measures to correct any problems that may be reported.
At the end of this process, the Board of Directors, as an executive body, is responsible for taking the necessary decisions, always acting in the manner it deems more suitable to defend the Company's and its Shareholders' interests.

55. Core details on the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the company regarding the procedure for disclosing financial information
There are very few ALTRI employees involved in the process of disclosing financial information.
All those involved in the financial analysis of the Company are considered to have access to privileged information and are particularly aware of the content of their obligations, as well as of the sanctions arising from the misuse of such information.
The internal rules applicable to the disclosure of financial information are aimed at ensuring its timely disclosure and preventing asymmetric access to information by the market.
The internal control system in the areas of accounting and preparation and disclosure of financial information is based on the following key principles:
- The use of accounting principles which are detailed in the notes to the financial statements is one of the pillars of the control system;
- The plans, procedures and records of the Company and its subsidiaries provide reasonable assurance that only duly authorised transactions are recorded and that such transactions are recorded in accordance with widely accepted accounting principles;
- Financial information is systematically and regularly analysed by the management of the operational units, ensuring a continuous monitoring and budget control;
- The process of preparing and reviewing financial information includes establishing a timetable for closing the accounts, which is shared with all the areas involved, and all documents are subject to an in-depth review.
- The accounting records and the individual financial statements of the various Group companies are prepared by the administrative and accounting departments. The financial statements are prepared by chartered accountants and reviewed by each subsidiary's financial division;
- The consolidated financial statements are prepared every three months by the consolidation team. This process is an additional element aimed at controlling the reliability of the financial information, in particular by ensuring the uniform application of accounting principles and cut-off procedures, by checking balances and transactions between Group companies;
- The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the supervision of the financial division. The documents comprised in the annual report are sent to the Board of Directors for review and approval. Once they are approved, the documents are sent to the External Auditor, who issues his Legal Certification of Accounts and the Audit Report; and
- The preparation of individual and consolidated information, as well as of the Management Report is coordinated by the Board of Directors and monitored by the Supervisory Board. These bodies analyse the Company's financial statements every three months.
Regarding risk factors that may have a material impact on accounting and financial reporting, we highlight the use of accounting estimates based on the best information available when the financial statements are being prepared, as well as on the knowledge and experience obtained in past and/or present events. We also highlight balances and transactions with related parties: in the ALTRI Group, balances and transactions with related entities refer essentially to the operating activities currently developed by the Group companies, as well as to borrowing and lending operations remunerated at market rates.
The Board of Directors regularly analyses and supervises the preparation and disclosure of financial information, in coordination with the Supervisory Board, in order to prevent the unauthorised and untimely access of third parties to relevant information.
IV. Investor Assistance
56. Department responsible for investor assistance, composition, functions, the information made available by said department and contact details
In compliance with the applicable legal provisions, as well as with the regulations of the CMVM on this matter, ALTRI ensures that all the information related to the business of the group's companies that fits into the concept of privileged information is disclosed to its shareholders and to the market in general at first hand. Therefore, ALTRI has been ensuring that information is provided to the shareholders and the market in general in a continuous and timely manner, precisely when its privileged nature becomes clear.
The Company has an Investor Support Office with a Representative for Market Relations and a person responsible for Investor Relations. Investors can send their requests for information to the following addresses:

ALTRI provides financial information about its individual and consolidated activity, as well as about its subsidiaries on its Internet webpage (www.altri.pt). This website is also used by the company to publish press releases that had previously been disclosed via the CMVM's Information Disclosure System and possibly made available to the press at a later stage, indicating any relevant facts occurring as part of the company's activities. The Group's financial statements for the most recent financial years are also available on this page. Most of the information is made available by the Company in Portuguese and English.
57. Market Liaison Officer

D. Remunerations
I. Powers
66. Details of the powers for establishing the remuneration of governing bodies
The Remuneration Committee is the body responsible for approving the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and other governing bodies on behalf of the shareholders, in accordance with the statement on the remuneration policy approved by the shareholders at the General Meeting.
II. Remuneration committee
67. Composition of the remuneration committee, including the identification of natural or legal persons hired to provide support and declaration on the independence of each of its member and advisers
Currently, ALTRI has a Remuneration Committee elected at a general shareholder meeting for a three-year term of office, starting in 2017 and ending in 2019, which is composed as follows:
- Chairman: João da Silva Natária
- Member: André Seabra Ferreira Pinto
- Member: Pedro Nuno Fernandes de Sá Pessanha da Costa
All the members of the Remuneration Committee are independent from the members of the Board of Directors and from any other interest groups.
With regard to the identification of natural or legal persons hired to provide support to this Committee, we should note that their responsibilities include the autonomy to, using the Company's budget and in compliance with criteria of reasonableness in this matter, hire external service providers which can independently carry out assessments, studies and prepare reports which may help that committee to fully perform its duties, as better explained in section 68 below.
This committee should rely on benchmarking studies on remuneration policies, ensuring that the Declaration on the Governing Body Remuneration and Compensation Policy is in line with the best practices in use in companies of similar relevance and size.
In 2018, this committee did not consider it necessary to hire any persons or entities to support its decision-making.
68. Knowledge and experience of the members of the Remuneration Committee in remuneration policy issues
The experience and professional qualifications of the members of the Remuneration Committee are reflected in the curricula available on the Company's website at www.altri.pt, "Investors" tab, "Investors / General meeting /2017/ Annex: Résumés", which were provided as part of their election at the 2017 Annual General Meeting and remain available in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
ALTRI considers that the professional experience and career of the members of the Remuneration Committee are fully suited to the duties that have been assigned to them, enabling them to perform them with the required precision and efficiency. Without prejudice to the qualifications of the other members, we should point out João da Silva Natária, due to his extensive experience and specific knowledge in the area of remuneration assessment and policy.
Furthermore, and in addition to what has already been mentioned in section 67 above, where necessary, the committee turns to specialised internal or external resources to support its decisions.
In these situations, the Remuneration Committee freely decides to hire, on behalf of ALTRI, the consultancy services deemed necessary or convenient, making sure that the services are provided independently and that the providers in question are not hired to provide any other services to ALTRI or its subsidiaries without the express authorisation of the Remuneration Committee.
III. Remuneration structure
69. Description of the management and supervisory body remuneration policy referred to in Article 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June
As provided for in Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June, a Declaration on the Management and Supervisory Body Remuneration Policy is submitted to the general meeting for examination.
The Remuneration and Compensation Policy applicable to ALTRI's governing bodies, approved at the General Meeting held on May 4, 2018, is in line with the following principles:
Board of Directors:
The individual remuneration of each director is determined considering:
- The duties performed in the Company and in its subsidiaries
- The responsibility and added value of the individual's performance
- The knowledge and experience acquired in the position held
- The Company's economic situation; and
- The remuneration earned in companies operating in the same sector and in other companies listed in Euronext Lisbon.
The total fixed remuneration of the Board of Directors, including the remunerations paid by subsidiaries to members of the Board of Directors, cannot exceed 2,000,000 Euro per year.
1. Executive directors
- Fixed component paid on a monthly basis.
- Medium-term variable component: this component is intended to better align the interest of the executive directors with those of the shareholders and will be calculated for a period corresponding to three terms of office, 2011 to 2019, based on:
-Total return for the shareholder (shares valorisation plus dividend paid)
-Sum of the net consolidated income for the 9 years (2011 to 2019)
-Evolution of the Company's business
The total value of the medium-term variable remuneration may not exceed 50% of the fixed remuneration earned in the 9-year period.
2. Non-executive directors
The individual remuneration of any non-executive director may not exceed 120,000 Euro/year and is exclusively comprised of a fixed amount.
Supervisory Board:
The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board is based on annual fixed values deemed appropriate for similar positions.
General Meeting:
The remuneration of the board of the General Meeting shall be exclusively fixed and follow market practices.
Statutory Auditor:
The Statutory Auditor shall receive a fixed remuneration in line with its duties and in accordance with market practices, under the supervision of the Supervisory Board.
Compensation for terminating service before the end of the corresponding term of office:
The remuneration policy maintains the principle of not paying compensation to directors or members of other governing bodies associated with the early termination or at the end of their term of office, without prejudice to compliance by the Company with the legal provisions in force in this area.
In this regard, we should add that no compensation was paid to former directors in 2018.
Scope of the principles:
The principles underlying the remuneration and compensation policies set out in this declaration cover, not only the total remuneration paid by ALTRI, but also the remunerations paid to the members of its Board of Directors by companies directly or indirectly controlled by it.
70. Information on how the remuneration is structured in order to align the interests of the members of the management body with the long-term interests of the company, as well as on how it is based on performance assessment and discourages excessive risk-taking
The remuneration policy for executive directors aims at ensuring an appropriate and precise consideration for the performance and contribution of each of the directors to the organisation's success, aligning the interests of the executive directors with those of the shareholders and the Company. In addition, the remuneration policy provides for a medium-term variable component, indexed to the Company's performance, intended to better align the interests of the executive directors with those of the Shareholders and with the long-term interests of the Company.
Proposals for the remuneration of executive directors are prepared taking into account: (i) the duties performed in ALTRI and in its subsidiaries; (ii) the responsibility and added value of the individual's performance; (iii) the knowledge and experience acquired in the position held; (iv) the Company's economic situation; (v) the remuneration earned in companies operating in the same sector and in other companies listed in Euronext Lisbon. Regarding the latter, the Remuneration Committee considers, within the limits of the available information, all the Portuguese companies with a similar size, namely the ones listed in Euronext Lisbon, and companies operating in international markets whose characteristics are similar to ALTRI's.
71. Reference to the existence of a variable remuneration component and information about the possible impact of this component on the performance assessment
The remuneration policy, as detailed in section 69 above, was approved at the General Meeting held on May 4, 2018 and includes a performance-based variable component for the period between 2011 and 2019.
There are no mechanisms to prevent executive directors from entering into contracts that call into question the rationale underlying the variable remuneration. However, the Remuneration Committee takes these factors into account in the criteria for calculating the variable remuneration.
The Company has not entered into any contracts with members of the Board of Directors that mitigate the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration, nor is it aware of the existence of similar contracts entered with third parties.
72. The deferred payment of the remuneration's variable component and specify the relevant deferral period
Currently, there are no variable remunerations whose payment is deferred over time.
73. Criteria for the assignment of share-based variable remunerations
ALTRI has not implemented or provided for any form of remuneration involving the assignment of shares or any other sharebased incentive scheme.
74. Criteria for the assignment of option-based variable remunerations
ALTRI has not implemented or provided for any form of remuneration involving the assignment of stock options.
75. Main parameters and grounds for annual bonus schemes and any non-financial benefits
ALTRI has no annual bonus schemes or non-financial benefits other than the variable remuneration describe above.
76. Main characteristics of the complementary pension or early retirement schemes for directors and dates on which they were individually approved at a general meeting
ALTRI has no complementary pension or early retirement schemes for members of management and supervisory bodies.
In this regard, we should note that the director Laurentina Martins receives a pension assigned to her when she left her position in the subsidiary Caima – Indústria de Celulose, S.A. in the standard terms in force in that Company's Pension Plan. She left the company on September 30, 2012.
So, we should clarify that the pension she receives is no more than a right acquired as a result of the employment relationship established with said subsidiary and it is not related to the managerial duties she performs at ALTRI; i.e., should she terminate her service at ALTRI, whatever the reason for such termination, the right to receive said pension would always be ensured. This means that her independence is not affected by this circumstance.
In this regard, we should note that, in 2018, the director in question, in compliance with the rules inherent to the plan, made no contributions to the aforementioned fund; however, she received an amount of € 33,705 relating to her retirement pension.
For more detailed information about the Pension Plan referred herein, please read note 28(a) of the notes to the consolidated statements on December 31, 2018.

84. Reference to the existence and description, with indication of the amounts involved, of agreements between the company and the members of the management body and senior managers, within the meaning of Article 248-B(3) of the Portuguese Securities Code, providing for compensation in the event of resignation, dismissal without just cause or termination of the employment relationship following a change in the control of the company

E. Transactions with related parties
I. Control mechanisms and procedures
89. Mechanisms implemented by the Company for the purpose of controlling transactions with related parties
Any transactions with related parties, particularly those which are materially relevant, comply with all the legal requirements, namely regarding obtaining a prior favourable opinion from the Company's supervisory body.
The Company's supervisory body has access to the terms of the potential transaction, with very comprehensive information, and may request any further information and clarifications that it deems appropriate or necessary.
Its opinion is, obviously, binding.
On the other hand, the Company operates in all areas, and particularly in this one, guided by criteria of precision and transparency.
Therefore, the Company has considered that it has hitherto not been necessary to adopt a formal policy that establishes materiality criteria, given that all potential transactions are subject to close scrutiny as established by law.
We should also note that the Board of Directors provides the Supervisory Board with all the necessary information at least every three months, including reports on transactions with related parties; in this context, there has never been a transaction that could compromise the precision and transparency that governs the performance of the Company that was not subject to the prior opinion of the Supervisory Board.
90. Details of transactions that were subject to control in the year under analysis
In 2018, the only relevant transaction was carried out between the Company and a company named Préstimo - Prestígio Imobiliário, S.A., in which some ALTRI directors hold managerial positions; the transaction involved the purchase by ALTRI of a property owned by Préstimo - Prestígio Imobiliário, S.A. to set up ALTRI's new headquarters.
This transaction, in compliance with the provisions of Article 406(e) of the CSC, as well as of Article 5(1)(a) of Decree-Law no. 495/88, in its current wording, was approved by resolution of the Board of Directors, taken at a meeting held on November 22, 2018, pursuant to which, and in compliance with the provisions of Article 397 of the CSC, there was a decision to request the prior opinion of the Company's supervisory board.
Concluding that it would occur under normal market conditions, the Company's Supervisory Board issued a favourable opinion, thus giving the go-ahead for said transaction.
In FY 2018, there were no other significant commercial deals or transactions between the Company and qualifying shareholders that the Company has been made aware of.
In addition, we should also note that there were no deals or transactions with members of the Supervisory Board.
None of the transactions with companies that are in a control or group relationship with ALTRI were deemed materially relevant, they were carried out under normal market conditions and all of them fit into the Company's regular activity and, therefore, there is no need to disclose them separately.
91. Description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the intervention of the supervisory body for the purpose of the prior assessment of deals between the company and qualified shareholders or entities related with them
Transactions with ALTRI directors or with companies that are in a control or group relationship with ALTRI and which involve a director, regardless of their amount, are always subject to the prior authorisation of the Board of Directors, provided that the supervisory body has issued a favourable opinion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 397 of the CSC.
Therefore, any transactions with related parties, particularly those which are materially relevant, comply with all the legal requirements, namely regarding obtaining a prior favourable opinion from the Company's supervisory body.
In 2018, the Supervisory Board was only asked to issue an opinion on the transaction detailed in section 90 above.
II. Information on business deals
92. Details of the place where the financial statements, including information on business deals with related parties, are available
The information on deals with related parties is provided in note 30 of the Notes to the Consolidated Statements and note 18 of the Notes to the Individual Accounts.
Part II – Corporate governance assessment
1. Details of the Corporate Governance Code in place
This corporate governance report describes the corporate governance structure in place at ALTRI, and presents the policies and practices that, according to such model, are necessary and adequate to ensure a governance in line with the best practices in this area.
The assessment complies with the legal requirements of Article 245A of the CVM and discloses, under the comply or explain principle, the degree of compliance with the Recommendations of the IPCG included in the 2018 Corporate Governance Code, which is the Corporate Governance Code adopted by the Company.
The information duties required by Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June, as well as by Articles 447 and 448 of the CSC and by CMVM Regulation no. 5/2008, of 2 October 2008, are fully complied with.
All the legal provisions mentioned in this Report and the Recommendations included in the 2018 Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG are available at www.cmvm.pt e https://cgov.pt/images/ficheiros/2018/codigo-pt-2018-ebook.pdf, respectively.
This Report should be read as an integral part of the Annual Management Report and the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements pertaining to FY 2018, as well as together with the Sustainability Report that complies with the provisions of Article 66 B of the CSC, as amended by Decree-Law 89/2017, of 28 July.
2. Analysis of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code in place
ALTRI has been encouraging and promoting all measures aimed at adopting the best Corporate Governance practices, following a policy based on high ethical standards of social and environmental responsibility and making decisions increasingly based on sustainability criteria.
Managing the Group in an integrated and effective manner is one of the goals of ALTRI 's Board of Directors that, promoting the transparency of its relationships with the investors and the market, has been gearing its performance towards a constant effort to create value, promoting the legitimate interests of the shareholders, the Company's employees and other Stakeholders.

Recommendation I.5.1
The management body shall set forth, based on a prior and binding opinion of the supervisory body, the type, scope and minimum individual or combined value of deals with related parties that: (i) require the prior approval of the management body (ii) and those that, for involving higher sums, further require a favourable prior opinion of the supervisory body.
Transactions with ALTRI directors or with companies that are in a control or group relationship with ALTRI and which involve a director, regardless of their amount, are always subject, by legal requirement, to the prior authorisation of the Board of Directors, provided that the supervisory body has issued a favourable opinion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 397 of the CSC.
Therefore, any transactions with related parties, particularly those which are materially relevant, comply with all the legal requirements, namely regarding obtaining a prior favourable opinion from the Company's supervisory body.
The Company's supervisory body has access to the terms of the potential transaction, with very comprehensive information, and may request any further information and clarifications that it deems appropriate or necessary.
Its opinion is, obviously, binding.
On the other hand, the Company operates in all areas, and particularly in this one, guided by criteria of precision and transparency.
Therefore, the Company has considered that it has hitherto not been necessary to adopt a formal policy that establishes materiality criteria, given that all potential transactions are subject to close scrutiny as set forth by law.
We should also note that the Company provides the Supervisory Board with all the necessary information at least every three months; in this context, there has never been a transaction that could compromise the precision and transparency that governs the performance of the Company that wasn't subject to the prior opinion of the Supervisory Board.
Accordingly, in compliance with the aforementioned legal obligation (Article 397 of the CSC), and taking into account, above all, the legal requirement set forth in said provision that these situations be disclosed in the annual report of the board of directors, with which ALTRI would always ensure full compliance, the company believes that all the legal requirements, as well as all the duties of disclosure of information to the shareholders and to the market in a comprehensive and transparent manner are fully met.
Recommendation II.3.
The company shall implement adequate means to allow exercising the right to vote by correspondence, including by electronic means
As stated in section 12 of Part 1 of this Report, the Company has implemented the necessary means to ensure the right to vote by correspondence.
With regard to electronic voting, the Company has not yet triggered the mechanisms necessary for its implementation (i) because this form of voting has never been requested by any of the shareholders and (ii) because it considers that this circumstance does not entail any constraint or restriction on the shareholders' ability to exercise their right to vote, which is promoted and encouraged by the Company.
ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its General Meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
Recommendation II.4.
The company shall implement adequate means to allow shareholders to attend meetings by telematic means.
As stated in section 12 of Part 1 of this Report, the Company has implemented the necessary means to ensure the right to vote by correspondence.
With regard to the possibility of holding General Meetings by telematic means, the Company has not yet triggered the mechanisms necessary for its implementation because (i) this method has never been requested by any of the shareholders, (ii) the costs of implementing telematic means are high and (iii) this circumstance does not entail any constraint or restriction on the shareholders' ability to exercise their right to vote, which is promoted and encouraged by the Company.
In view of the preceding paragraph and emphasising what is mentioned above, ALTRI has been encouraging the physical participation of its shareholders, either directly or through representatives, in its general meetings, considering that they are the ideal moment for Shareholders to come into contact with the management team, taking advantage of the presence of the members of the other governing bodies, namely the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, as well as the members of the Remuneration Committee. This interaction has been beneficial for the Company.
Therefore, it is understood that all necessary and adequate means to ensure participation in General Meetings are already in place.
Recommendation II.5
Articles of association that establish limits for the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or together with other shareholders, must also establish that, at least every five years, the amendment or maintenance of this statutory provision is deliberated upon at a general meeting without aggravated quorum requirements vis-à-vis the legally required quorum - and that, in said resolution, all votes cast are counted without said limitation.
The Company's Articles of Association do not establish any limitation on the number of votes that may be held or exercised by a single shareholder individually or together with other shareholders
Recommendation III.1
Without prejudice to the legal duties of the president of the board of directors, if he/she is not independent, the independent directors must choose a lead independent director among them, who should (i) act as interface with the chairman the board of directors and the other directors; (ii) ensure that they have all the necessary conditions and means to perform their duties; and (iii) coordinate them in the assessment of the management body's performance provided for in recommendation V.1.1.
Considering the size and structure of the Company, and, in particular, the concentration of its capital structure and the total number of members of its Board of Directors, which is only 7, and also taking into account the performance of the chairman of the Board of Directors who is currently in office, which has been perfectly appropriate and in line with the interests of the Company and its shareholders, ALTRI believes that appointing a Lead Independent Director for the sole purpose of meeting a purely formal criterion would not add any relevant value.
Recommendation III.3
Taking into account the personal profile, career and professional experience of the members of ALTRI's Board of Directors, it is considered that the number of non-executive directors, relative to the total number of members of the board, is adequate and balanced given the nature and size of the Company. In this context, ALTRI considers that there are enough non-executive directors to guarantee an effective follow-up, as well as an actual supervision and surveillance of the activity carried out by the executive directors, especially taking into account that the Company has developed mechanisms to enable executive directors to make independent and informed decisions, as detailed in section 18 of this Report.
Recommendation III.4
At least one third (and always more than one) of the company's directors should be non-executive directors who meet independence criteria. For the purpose of this recommendation, independent means a person who is not associated with any specific interest group in the company or under circumstances that may affect his/her independence of analysis or decision, namely due to:
- (i) Having performed duties in one of the company's governing bodies for more than twelve consecutive or non-consecutive years;
- (ii) Having worked in the company or in a controlled, controlling or group company in the last three years;
- (iii) Having provided services or established a significant commercial relationship with the company or with a controlled, controlling or group company in the last three years, either directly or as a partner, director, manager or head of a legal person;
- (iv) Receiving a remuneration paid by the company or by a controlled, controlling or group company other than the remuneration derived from the performance of duties as a director;
- (v) Being in a non-marital partnership or being the spouse, relative or related in line of descent until the third degree of a company director, a director of a legal person that is a qualified shareholder of the company or legal persons who are, directly or indirectly, qualified shareholders of the company;
- (vi) Being a qualified shareholder or the representative of a qualified shareholder
The Board of Directors has a member who meets the independence criteria provided for both in Section 18.1 of the Annex to CMVM Regulation number 4/2013, and in Recommendation III.4 of the Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG - non-executive director Laurentina da Silva Martins - as, despite the fact that she used to work for the subsidiary Caima - Indústria de Celulose, S.A., she has left her position more than three years ago. We should note that she receives a retirement pension paid by the pension fund in force for that subsidiary's employees. However, this pension, because it is an acquired right unrelated to the fact that she holds a managerial position at ALTRI and which she will continue to receive after the termination of her service, whatever the reason for such termination, does not affect her independence.
On the other hand, she hasn't performed duties in any of the company's governing bodies for more than 12 consecutive or nonconsecutive years.
Therefore, ALTRI considers that the independence criteria set out in section 18.1 of the Annex to CMVM Regulation number 4/2013 are fully met, meaning that she is an independent director.
The company does not meet the requirement of having at least one third of independent directors, but believes that its Management structure is in line with the best practices, considering that it has established mechanisms to enable non-executive directors to make independent and informed decisions, such as:
- Sending the calls for meetings to all the members of the Board of Directors in advance and in a timely manner, including the corresponding meeting agenda, even if provisional, together with all the other relevant information and documentation;
- Ensuring that the executive directors are available to provide non-executive directors with all the additional information deemed relevant or necessary, as well as to carry out further studies and analyses concerning all matters that are deliberated upon, or otherwise analysed, by the Company;
- Ensuring that all minutes books, records, documents and other information about the background of the operations carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are available for examination purposes, and that a direct channel for obtaining information is created and promoted among the directors and operational and financial officers of the various companies that are part of the Group, without the need for executive directors to take part in that process.
The Company has considered and reflected on these circumstances taking into account, on the one hand, the corporate model that has been adopted and, on the other hand, the composition and functioning of its governing bodies as a whole (namely the Board of Directors as a collective body, the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, with their inherent independence) and concluded that the appointment of independent directors for purely formal reasons would not add any significant value to the Company's performance or to a (possibly) better functioning of the model that has been adopted, considering that both have proved to be positive, relevant, adequate and efficient.
We should add that the management report includes, in the chapter "Activity carried out by the non-executive members of the Board of Directors," a description of the activity carried out by the non-executive directors in FY 2018.
The provisions of paragraph (i) of recommendation III.4 shall not preclude the qualification of a new director as independent if, between the termination of his/her duties in any corporate body and his/her new appointment, a period of at least three years has elapsed (cooling-off period)
None of the Company's directors are in the aforementioned situation
Recommendation III.7.
The general and supervisory board should, within the framework of its legal and statutory powers, collaborate with the executive board of directors in outlining the strategy, main policies, corporate structure and decisions that should be considered strategic for the company, due to their amount or risk, as well as in assessing compliance with these
The governance model adopted, pursuant to Article 278(1) of the CSC, does not cover the General and Supervisory Board.
Recommendation IV.1.
The management body shall approve, by means of internal regulations or similar instruments, the rules governing the performance of the directors and the exercise of executive duties in entities outside the group
ALTRI, considering its organisational structure and the small size of its Board of Directors, which is composed of seven members, finds it unnecessary to formally appoint an Executive Committee within the Board of Directors.
However, and as mentioned in section 28 of this Report, 4 of the 7 members of the Board of Directors perform executive duties - with a more practical or operational nature - and, therefore, the Company believes that the necessary conditions are in place for decisions on matters of structural importance to be, as they are, taken by the Board of Directors as a collective body including all its members, executive and non-executive, in the normal performance of their duties, in an informed manner, totally focused on creating value for the shareholders.
Recommendation IV.3.
The management body should set risk-taking goals and make efforts to ensure they are achieved
The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the Company's main policies, namely the risk policy.
Recommendation V.1.1
The management body shall assess its performance, as well as the performance of its committees and managing directors every year, taking into account compliance with the company's strategic plan and budget, risk management, internal operation and the contribution of each member for this purpose, as well as the relationship between the various governing bodies and committees
The assessment of the Board of Directors' performance is submitted to the General Meeting for consideration in accordance with the law, regarding compliance with the Company's strategic plan and budget, risk management, internal functioning and relationships with other governing bodies. The Board of Directors does not choose a specific moment to formally carry out a documented self-assessment; this self-assessment is carried out regularly by a body which meets at least 12 times a year and which monitors the company's activity as closely and regularly as possible, reflecting the fairness and adequacy of the body's performance.
In addition, and as provided for in the CSC (Article 376), the General Meeting carries out an annual general assessment of the Company's management.
Recommendation V.2.3.
The statement on the remuneration policy applicable to administrative and supervisory bodies referred to in Article 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June, shall additionally contain:
- (i) The total remuneration broken down by components, the relative proportion of the fixed and the variable remuneration, an explanation of how the total remuneration complies with the remuneration policy in force, including how it contributes to the performance of the company in the long run, and details on how the performance criteria were applied;
- (ii) Remunerations from companies belonging to the same group;
- (iii) The number of shares and stock options granted or offered, and the main conditions for exercising the corresponding rights, including the price and the date of that exercise and any changes in those conditions;
- (iv) Information on the possibility of requesting the return of variable remuneration;
- (v) Information on any deviations from the application of the remuneration policy that has been approved, including an explanation of the exceptional circumstances in question and a reference to the specific elements subject to derogation;
- (vi) Information on whether or not directors are entitled to compensation upon termination of their duties.
ALTRI's governing body remuneration and compensation policy, approved at the General Meeting held on May 4, 2018, includes all the elements set forth in the applicable legislation and the provisions of paragraph vi) of this Recommendation.
The information set forth in paragraphs (i) to (v) of this Recommendation is detailed in the Corporate Governance Report and in the Management Report for the year 2018, which are also submitted to the Company's shareholders for approval.
Recommendation V.2.4.
For each term of office, the remuneration committee shall also approve the pension scheme for directors, if the articles of association allow it, and the maximum amount of any compensation to be paid to members of any corporate body or committee upon terminating their service
The Company has no complementary pension or early retirement schemes for members of management and supervisory bodies. The remuneration policy that has been approved does not include a pension or compensation scheme.
Recommendation V.2.5.
In order to provide information or clarification to the shareholders, the chairman or, in his/her absence, another member of the remuneration committee shall attend the annual general meeting and any other meetings whose agenda includes matters concerning the remuneration of the members of governing bodies and committees or if his/her presence is requested by the shareholders
The Company believes that, from the point of view of protecting the interests of shareholders and investors, the mechanisms that have already been established and implemented allow achieving the goal arising from this Recommendation.
Recommendation V.3.2.
A significant portion of the variable component should be delivered over time, over a period of not less than three years, being associated with the confirmation of the sustainability of the company's performance, as set forth in the corresponding internal regulations
The Company's Remuneration Committee has not set forth any variable remuneration whose payment has been deferred over time.
Recommendation V.3.4.
When the variable remuneration includes options or other instruments directly or indirectly dependent on the value of the shares, the beginning of the exercise period shall be deferred for a period of no less than three years
The variable component of the remuneration does not include options or other instruments directly or indirectly dependent on the value of the shares.
Recommendation V.3.5.
The remuneration of non-executive directors shall not include any component whose value depends on the performance of the company or its value
The remuneration policy approved by the General Meeting upon proposal of the Remuneration Committee establishes that the individual remuneration of non-executive directors has an exclusively fixed nature.
Recommendation V.4.2.
Unless the size of the company does not justify it, there should be an appointment committee responsible for monitoring and supporting the appointment of senior managers
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons listed in sections 27, 29 and 67 of Part I of this Report.
Recommendation V.4.3.
This committee includes a majority of independent non-executive members
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons listed in sections 27, 29 and 67 of Part I of this Report.
Recommendation V.4.4.
The appointment committee shall make its terms of reference available and shall, to the extent of its powers, promote transparent selection procedures that include effective mechanisms for identifying potential candidates, ensuring that those who have the greatest merit and are most suited to the job requirements are chosen, while promoting, within the organisation, an adequate diversity (including gender diversity)
The Company does not have an appointment committee for the reasons listed in sections 27, 29 and 67 of Part I of this Report.
3. Other Information
In line with what is mentioned above, ALTRI would like to point out that, of the sixty recommendations contained in the 2018 Corporate Governance Code of the IPCG, nine are not applicable to it for the reasons set out above, and that the decision not to adopt five and partially adopt two of the recommendations is also comprehensively explained and justified above.
ALTRI therefore considers that, given its full compliance with forty-four of these fifty recommendations (excluding nine which are not applicable), the recommendations of the 2018 Corporate Governance Code have virtually all been adopted, reflecting a diligent and careful management, totally focused on creating value for the Company and, consequently, for the shareholders.

Diversity Policy - Article 245 A(1)(r) of the Portuguese Companies Act
Diversity policy is not a new issue for the Altri group. In fact, although the areas of activity of the group - eminently industrial - are areas historically prone to male predominance, the truth is that, for several years now, the Group has been outlining and implementing policies that have been resulting in greater gender equality, not only in the Board of Directors, but also in senior and middle management positions.
We should note that Altri's Board of Directors, elected in April 2017 for the term of office corresponding to the 2017/2019 triennium (and therefore before the entry into force of Law 89/2017, of 28 July) is composed of seven members, five men and two women; these represent nearly 30% of that governing body. This composition was similar to that of the previous term of office, corresponding to the 2014/2017 triennium.
The Board of Directors, without losing sight of the guiding principle of meritocracy, promotes diversity policies at various levels, such as:
- Instructions to the human resources areas of the various operating companies so that:
- career advancement policies, performance evaluation and salary reviews are established based on diversity promotion concerns;
- in recruitment processes, they seek to promote such diversity by always presenting lists of potential employees that are sufficiently representative of both genders.
- Instructions to the operational areas so that the multidisciplinary teams formed as part of the various projects are always set up based on the concern of a balanced representation.
Altri believes that a healthy gender balance contributes decisively to the teams being more eclectic, self-challenging and proactive, so promoting this diversity is one of the Group's goals.
This matter is detailed in Section 15 of the Corporate Governance Report, as well as in the Sustainability Report, page 44 et seq.
Closing Remarks
We could not conclude without thanking the entities that work and cooperate with the Group for the trust they have placed in our organisation. Lastly, we would like to express our appreciation to all our employees for their dedication and commitment to the organisation.
Porto, 9 April 2019
The Board of Directors
Paulo Jorge dos Santos Fernandes

02. Statement from the Executive Board
102-14 102-15
"Altri has long adopted sustainability as the decisive factor in its activity – moreover, Altri believes that to achieve genuine environmental, economic and social development, the paramount criteria guiding decision-making within the Group must be those in line with a sustainability prospect. "
2018 was a year best described by the strengthening of the Group's strategic position in all markets it operates in: Regarding the paper pulp market, as a European benchmark producer, Altri produced a record 1,097 thousand tons of pulp (54,000 tons more than the previous year), endorsing a sales turnover of 1,055 thousand tons of pulp.
In the forest based renewable energy market, with the acquisition of shares amounting to 50% of the share capital and voting rights of then known EDP Produção – Bioelétrica, S.A. (now Bioelétrica da Foz), Altri took exclusive control of this organization and its branches, which projected the Group to a position of prominent leadership in Portugal in said market.
Total revenues amounted to 784.8 million Euro, translating an overall growth of 18% compared to 2017.
It is based on this reference system that Altri evaluates the year of 2018, as a demanding, challenging, hardworking yet rewardingly successful year.
Altri has long adopted sustainability as the decisive factor in its activity – moreover, Altri believes that to achieve genuine environmental, economic and social development, the paramount criteria guiding decision-making within the Group must be those in line with a sustainability prospect.
Accordingly, in 2018, Altri initiated preparations for the first bond issuance aligned with the Green Bond Principles, published by the International Capital Market Association, which was released in 2019, being the first Green Bond Issuance admitted to negotiation in Portugal, at Euronext Access Lisbon.
2018 was also a year of consolidating structural reforms implemented by the Group, in order to align its practices with the recent and demanding regulations imposed by the new forest legal framework, approved in 2017 – a process that was carried out in a sustainable and articulate fashion with employees, clients, suppliers and business partners, ensuring coordination between all stakeholders.
In 2018, the Group proceeded with its commitment to develop its people personally and professionally, enhancing the existence of an integrating and motivating work environment, which promotes the reconciliatory nature that must exist between professional and personal life, in a healthy balance that contributes to high values of the Workplace Satisfaction Index.
Altri´s administration has long elected environmental criteria as the paramount criteria in the progression of the group´s activities, bolstering daily, its commitment to a thorough management methodology, based on development, innovation and continuous improvement. Strengthening its daily commitment to sound management based on development, innovation and continuous improvement, Altri's management has chosen sustainability criteria as essential criteria in the development of the Group's activity.

03. About Altri
Altri, SGPS, S.A. was established in March of 2005, with the corporate object of holding activities as an indirect exertion of economic activities. This corporation was, from the time of its constitution, the holding company of a group of enterprises that dedicate themselves to the production of cellulose pulp as well as forestry exploitation. Altri Group quickly achieved a position of recognition market wise as a European benchmark producer of eucalyptus paper pulp and, recently, of dissolving pulp.
When Altri diversified its business portfolio to include renewable energy, it became, likewise, a key player in the sector, namely in the production of electricity from forest biomass.

Brief history
- Altri was established in 2005, result of a restructuring process of Cofina Group, SGPS, S. A
- The year 2005 was punctuated by the acquisition, from the Portuguese State, of 95% of the share capital and voting rights of Celtejo – Empresa de Celulose do Tejo, S. A. which represented an investment of 38 million Euro.
2006
2015
- In January of 2006, Altri invested 7.5 million Euro in the acquisition of 50% of the share capital and voting rights of EDP Bioelétrica, which expressed a strategic investment and a commitment of considerable potential in the renewable energy sector (forest biomass).
- In August of 2006, Altri acquired 100% of the share capital and voting rights of Celulose Beira Industrial (CELBI), S.A. (Celbi) from Stora Enso, an operation that involved an investment of about 430 million Euro.
- Still in 2006, Altri acquired an additional 4,45% of the share capital and voting rights of Celtejo, thus increasing to 99.45% its share of the company.

- In May of 2010, the C09 project was concluded at Celbi, accomplishing the objective of increasing the production capacity of that industrial unit from 300,000 to 500,000 tons.
- In June of 2015, the C15 project was concluded at Celbi, which increased yet again the production capacity of the industrial unit to 760,000 tons.
- 2015 also marked the conclusion of the conversion project of Caima to specialized pulps, namely dissolving pulp (DWP), becoming the first industrial unit in the Altri Group producing this product.

2018
• In November of 2018, Altri acquired the totality of the share capital and voting rights of EDP Bioelétrica, of which, until said date, it held, in partnership with EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. 50%. This acquisition allowed Altri to proceed with its integration strategy between forest industry sites producing biomass and the generation of energy from this renewable resource.
Lines of business
102-2 102-4 102-6
Altri is a European benchmark producer of eucalyptus pulp whose activity is ensured by the three mills that integrate the group - Celbi, Celtejo and Caima – these three mills, all together, have a nominal annual production capacity of over 1 million tons of pulp.
Altri, through its subsidiary company, Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. owns and manages four biomass power plants, having a fifth one in construction phase, demonstrating its commitment in the renewable energy sector, which also elevated its position to one of prominence in the Portuguese market in the sector. Still in regard to the energy sector, Altri also focuses on electricity production from renewable based industrial cogeneration (a process based on utilizing plant components with biofuel properties).
The production of paper pulp, energy through industrial cogeneration and energy through biomass based thermoelectric plants grant the Group a strong and efficient forest management. The Group manages in Portugal, through Altri Florestal, S.A. (Altri Florestal) around 80 thousand hectares of certified forest with a forest self-sufficiency of approximately 20%.

Celbi produces Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp (BEKP), with all production volume being marketed. Currently, Celbi has an annual production upwards of 700,000 tons. Celbi's main market is European papermaking units that produce from fine paper to tissue.
Celtejo also produces BEKP, showing a production trajectory that surpasses 200 thousand tons per year. Celtejo is an enterprise with almost 50 years of knowledge and inherent experience in the prodution of paper pulp, asserting itself in the technological vanguard and being internationally renowned for its product quality. Celtejo´s strategy is built on economic sustainability, environmental protection and customer satisfaction.
Caima currently produces upward of 115 thousand tons of eucalyptus dissolving pulp annually. It was the target of an ambitious investment project to transform its production to dissolving pulp, with the addition of an evaporation process line. Its main customers are rayon textile producers located in China.

Product and Market
102-2 102-6
The Group's main activities are the production of paper pulp and renewable energy production. Since the production of paper pulp is the Group's core business and since forest management is inseparable from this, the combination of both allows and enhances the production of renewable energy, through cogeneration and biomass. Relying on a solid work and investigative culture and on informed innovative spirit, Altri has quickly attained a sizeable know- -how in the energy sector, currently perceived as one of the main players in the Portuguese scene in this sector also.

Pulp produced by Altri has multiple applications, namely paper production (mainly tissue, writing and printing paper) and dissolving pulp, which is mostly used in textile production. Celbi and Celtejo produce BEKP - Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp and Caima produces dissolving pulp (DP), being entirely market pulp.
Pulp produced has been approved by the Nordic Ecolabelling of Paper Products (Celbi and Celtejo) and by European Ecolabel (Celbi), so tha t they can be used in products that intend to carry this environmental label.
The Nordic Ecolabelling of Paper Products and the European Ecolabel constitute environmental labelling programs based on the product´s lifecycle.
Production of renewable energy
The production of paper pulp and the integrated forest management allow the usage of two renewable energy sources: black liquor and biomass.
The energy production process through cogeneration consists in the production of vapour through the combustion of black liquor (lignin) which moves a turbine, activating a generator that in turn produces electricity. Paper pulp units reuse this plant component and recycle most of the chemicals used in the production process.
The forest biomass resulting from forest management originates from tree branches, leaves and bark. This biomass shredded and then combusted in a biomass boiler, producing vapour that activates a turbine and subsequently an electric generator. The electricity produced is, in its entirety, allocated to the national public grid.
In 2018, Altri recorded, once again, a new record regarding production and sales of pulp: 1.1 million tons of pulp produced (5% more than the previous year), of which approximately 10% was dissolving pulp.

Altri produces paper pulp mainly from eucalyptus wood. Altri represents approximately 5% of global output in this sector.

2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

Altri Group is organized according to the B2B model (business to business), meaning that their main customers are manufacturing industries. These industries purchase the Group´s products (pulp) as raw materials for their own production process. The applications for paper pulp vary considerably, and the permanent discovery of new applications translates into an increasing market demand. It should be noted, within Altri Group´s sphere, that the pulp produced by Caima has an even wider range of applications, since it's a dissolving pulp.
As examples of end-products that include the Group´s products in their production process, the following can be highlighted: paper (writing, decorative and ornamental, tissue), textiles (fabric and cloths for various purposes including the making of clothing and other attires), eyewear, tires, mattresses, sponges, electronic devices such as LCD´s, food industry (dressings), inks, cigarettes and many other. It´s through this myriad of applications that the paper pulp industry adds value to society.



145/308
Suppliers
102-9 102-10 204-1 308-1 414-1 414-2
Altri believes it is of the utmost importance that its suppliers place sustainability at the core of their management policy, which is why it constantly updates the application of a set of measures that aim to ensure a solid alignment between the business partners and the Group's policies, so that they can too be driven by strict environmental and social criteria.
This transversal alignment, regarding the environment and society, between the Altri and all entities involved in the value chain is one of the Group's trademarks and a means to guarantee that this industry represents a genuine value generation to the people and society in general.
Hence the selection of suppliers being subject to a rigorous process that implies a careful and weighted management
Approximately 120 forest suppliers throughout the country, from Braga to Monchique.
100% of chemical products and additive suppliers are evaluated regarding Environment, Quality and Safety.
92% of the purchases of goods and services necessary to Altri ´s production processes are conducted to national suppliers.
Supplier evaluation and qualification
At Altri, the supplier management process comprises all stages of the partnership's lifecycle, from the selection, via continuous assessment all the way to quality certification.

The supplier evaluation and qualification process is based on a set of studies and assessments systematically developed with the purpose of attributing "qualified supplier" status to the companies that apply to said status.
To whom it applies
This procedure is applicable to suppliers that provide a permanent service of resident or outsourcing nature. These suppliers should identify as essential in the supply of materials, chemical products and packaging components whose expenditure is considered volume costs, constituting fundamental supplementary materials for the process, as identified in each production unit.
How it proceeds
The supplier is requested the filling of an assessment inquiry regarding environmental performance. Thereafter, a selection inquiry is sent to each supplier, the answers of which, in case they comply with the supply specifications, are evaluated by an internal Commission purposely devised for the assignment. Special attention is paid to Quality, Environment, Energy Performance and Health and Safety, including respective impacts. If the supplier gathers the necessary conditions, it is given the "pre-qualified" status. After a product follow-up, which takes between six month and a year, an evaluation meeting is convened and depending on said meeting, the supplier can be given "qualified supplier" status.
How the evaluation is done
The suppliers are given a grade for each product supplied by production unit and a global grade regarding all products supplied to the Group. They are evaluated based on ISO 9001 certification, ISO 14001 certification, among others. Regarding material and service suppliers, the evaluation is based on technical execution, environmental behaviour, health and safety, among others. Suppliers with a negative grade in the criteria mentioned or in global are subjected to corrective measures.
The suppliers that advance through the Group's qualification and evaluation screening process are all those that provide supply of goods or services and that by doing so are in compliance with the Group's requirements, including proper handling of material and human capital, meeting deadlines and active spirit of cooperation.
Training of suppliers
Suppliers are a paramount business partner in the Group's value chain. For this reason, commitment to training suppliers is an essential component. In 2018, the following training is highlighted:
Safety and Forest Qualification
The Safety and Forest Qualification training consists of an ambulatory training room by the means of an adapted van that instead of requiring the physical presence of the Group's supplier's forest employees at the company's office facilities, brings the training to them which makes sense since the training is on site. The vehicle, which is equipped with sound and video system, simplifies the training's presentation. This innovative solution has demonstrated, on the one hand that the training contents are better perceived by the trainees and, on the other hand, has seized their attention further, promoting bigger attendance. This training model, innovated by Altri Florestal, has revealed itself as a successful case-study that deserved merits from the Authority for Work Conditions (ACT), as an example of best practices for training.
These training activities have allowed Altri to achieve a reduction of the paramount parameter of occupational accidents to levels lower than that of the national average in the forestry sector.

suppliers trainees per year training sessions in the van per year
Paper Pulp Industry Safety Card
Attending to the possibility of achieving synergies ensuing Health and Safety training, organized in a cooperative manner, and to the fact that guaranteeing service provider quality is a general interest, CELPA (paper industry association) decided to introduce the paper pulp industry safety card (CSIP).
CSIP tallies with a Health and Safety training program aimed at the employees of the companies that provide services to CELPA companies that protrudes the objectivity of a training program oriented specifically to the paper pulp industry as a key reference.
| No. of sessions conducted (CSIP) |
No. of trainees | |
|---|---|---|
| Altri production units | 68 | 2,333 |
CSIP training program's main goal is the disclosure of hazards,
risks, corporate aspects, behavioural topics, individual and collective protection measures aligned with the workplace of paper pulp production units. CSIP includes the presentation of practical aspects, guaranteeing the minimum Health and Safety knowledge, important in an industrial context (maintenance, projects, annual stoppages, industrial cleaning processes and other procedures that usually involve employees from service providers).
PQSE – Qualification portal for External Services
2018 observed the establishment and release of a supplier portal, PQSE, whose main goal is to expedite communications with service providers, taking on a particular importance in core area communication flow, speeding it up and making it more effective. This proved pivotal in supporting the Group's procurement system, optimizing and simplifying the supplier evaluation and qualification process by providing:
- Greater ease and availability in communication with suppliers;
- A supplier registry system with detailed, updated and validated information, expediting its certification;
- Simplification of administrative tasks associated to supplier's employee entry.
- Minimization of errors and costs.
Responsible behaviour program
Zero Accidents Goal
After the implementation of a Health and Safety Management System, one of the group's production units, Celbi, drew up a pilot project entitled "Responsible Behaviour". This project kicked off with a rigorous internal assessment regarding the main causes of accidents. The assessment demonstrated that 70% of accidents are due to unsafe internal and external employee behaviour (of service providing companies). It was within this context that Celbi, still regarding the scope of this pilot project, and with the support of an external partner, implemented a set of measures and activities to ensure employee awareness to endorsing of safe workplace behaviour.
As an example, one of the activities undertaken was placing, in key locations of the production unit, balloons with warning messages including risks to avoid as well as the message: "Take a Photo and Send a Message". This activity triggered employee interest and boosted conversation and dialogue between them and with pedestrians, enhancing awareness and consciousness towards risks inherent to irresponsible behaviour while performing tasks and subsequent consequences of said behaviour in a person's health and life.
The results of this pilot project revealed a significant reduction in the occurrence of work accidents, strongly validating the project´s objective. This initiative´s success determined that it should be replicated in the other industrial units of the Group.

Altri Florestal is responsible for the management of the 80 thousand hectares nationwide, applying best practices regarding forestry sector and investing on continuously improving forestry management.
8,4

species

endangered
80.000 ha of forest
100%of Altri Florestal forest is FSC® and PEFC™ certified
57%of wood acquired by Altri is FSC® and PEFC™ certified™
Forest certification is a priority for Altri, justifying the voluntary joining to two international forestry certification and responsibility chain systems, FSC® and PEFC™. Apart from forestry certification, the company also has quality management certified by ISO 9001 and implemented a "Forestry practice code", that sums up best practices to be observed during performance of duties, applicable to both employees and all entities hired by the company.
Altri Florestal's forest is managed in order to guarantee sustainability in the economic, ecologic and social spheres, as far as its activity is mainly directed towards quality and financially competitive wood production, based on utilizing appropriate technological means for preparing, maintaining and exploring its forests.
Altri Florestal promotes forestry certification to its partners and raw material suppliers, providing the necessary technical support for the constitution and operation of producer groups, later acquiring certified wood.
In 2018 Altri Abastecimento de Madeira acquired, for the three industrial units of the Group, 57% of FSC® and PEFC™ certified wood, increasing approximately 3% compared to 2017, demonstrating its commitment to continuous improvement.
Forest management Strategy
The Forest management strategy followed by Altri Florestal is based on optimizing the forests production capacity through the:
- Implementation of a long term forest model, capable of guaranteeing an adequate profitability rate, sustainably managed and based on the application of forestry best practices. Simultaneously, the development and production of plant materials, with high productive efficiency, allow for a gradual replacement of low productivity cultures for more productive ones.
- Biodiversity preservation, especially in areas with an ecologic value considered relevant. In this sense, areas with low aptitude for eucalyptus production are frequently subject of reconversion projects that aim to restore native plant species.
The forest activities developed by Altri Florestal also constitute a catalyst for the sustainable development of local and regional economies. The company commits to the hiring of local services and manpower, fomenting economic and social development.
At Altri Florestal, each reforestation operation is planned, designed, executed and monitored in compliance with certified procedures, completely embedded in the company's routine in perfect harmony with nature's respect and preservation. Forestry is the main land use in the districts where most of Altri Florestal's estate are located, with agriculture also being relevant in some.

Forest fire prevention and combat
In 2018, Altri Florestal obtained its best result yet regarding burnt areas, which was residual in the eucalyptus area (4 hectares). The burnt area was primarily due to the Monchique fire, during which two biodiversity preservation facilities burnt down, with no eucalyptus occupation, in a total of 100 hectares. These properties are going to be subject to a recovery project, in partnership with local entities and whose objective is to promote Medronho fields, protect the rhododendrons hub (Rhododendron ponticum) and plant the local oak tree typical of the Monchique sierra, the Monchique Oak tree (Quercus canariensis), whose plants we intend to produce, with harvested acorns.
Altri has planned the following future investments, regarding forest fire prevention.

Forest work accident drills
Drills stage a real emergency situation in different circumstances, for example, fires, accidents, earthquakes, floods, among others. They allow testing on operability, define strategy, correct vulnerabilities and train parties involved, promoting behavioural routines before an emergency situation, contributing to minimizing panic reactions in real life situations.
Forestry work has particularities, not only due to the machinery and equipment used but also due to the geographic spread, isolation and lack of accessibility to on site workplace locations. Safety and Emergency in forestry work is an important topic for Altri Florestal, who values the promotion and disclosure of best practices and safety procedure implementation. Beyond the awareness activities and certification training (DGERT - Direção-Geral do Emprego e das Relações de Trabalho) regarding health and safety in forestry work, in 2018 it also initiated the Drill Plan for Work Accidents in forestry operations: forestry exploration, maintenance or forestation, with the goal of conducting four drills, one for each forest region.
In 2018, two forest work accident drills were performed, in the Middle Tagus and West regions. A safety procedure was tested on snagged trees in pre-harvest exploration, as well as an emergency procedure regarding communication and rallying point location, identified on maps distributed to forestry service suppliers with geographical coordinates.
The drills concluded with basic life support training to various accident situations in forestry operations.
The drills relied on the support of Altri Florestal's adapted training room van, Firemen and municipal civil protection services, as well as the presence of the forest service provider's employees , the Authority on Work Conditions, National guard and regional forest producer associations.
Two more drills are planned for 2019, in the Northern and Interior Forest regions.


Viveiros do Furadouro
The Viveiros do Furadouro began their activity in 1992 and since guarantee Altri Florestal's plant supply used in forestations. Because of its clear genetic value, all eucalyptus plants that Viveiros do Furadouro supplies to Altri Florestal are included in the "tested" category, the highest grade in forest material classification (Law Decree no. 205/2003).
The seed and forest plants production and marketing activities are licensed, so all the forest plants of this company are subject to rigorous quality control, complying with and exceeding the requirements defined by the Law Decree no. 205/2003, regarding the marketing of forest materials.
The production materials and processes used in Viveiros do Furadouro for the production of the various species allow for the high grade quality.

85%of plants sold are genetically enhanced eucalyptus, classified as tested by the Law Decree no. 205/2003.
Beyond eucalyptus, other plants have been produced, such as pine, cork oak and other oak trees as well as Medronho, river bank species Buçaco cedar and casuarinas.
Biodiversity preservation
304-1 304-2 304-3 304-4
Altri Florestal, because of its deep know-how in the forestry management sector, is conscious of the existence of spaces where, because of its physical and/or biological characteristics, natural animal and plant communities exist or can soon exist that are important to preserve or where it is necessary to set corridors and lanes to avoid habitat fragmentation and has created an identification, preservation and restoration strategy for areas classified as preservation areas, so that the Group can guarantee a management execution based on sustainability criteria.
The biodiversity management strategy arises as a plan that intends to reflect the Group's attitude towards appreciation and protection of natural spaces present in forest areas.
The biodiversity management strategy
The strategy is based on four principles that aim to guarantee the protection and appreciation of the natural spaces and their framing in the forest areas under management of Altri Florestal:
- 1.Assessment of the conservation value of the areas of each property, based on criteria such as size, connectivity, habitat or species rarity and landscaping, in order to identify protection and intervention priorities;
-
- Based on this assessment, a plan is articulated with forest operations planning that identifies opportunities and priorities for protecting and enhancing conservation values;
- 3.Implementation of this plan through conservation models and appropriate forest operations through passive or active measures to improve or restore habitats;
-
- Monitoring of the conservation model adopted and evaluation of the evolution of the presence of habitats and species.

Recovered or Protected Habitats
Altri Florestal records the natural values (habitats and species) in a geographically organized database, which is intended to be available for observation by all employees, consultants and external volunteers.
Altri Florestal, with the help of specialized technicians, collects information on the proven or probable presence of endangered species that are in its patrimony. With this information, it has been compiling the data obtained and making them available internally within the Group, as well as to various organizations and institutions external to its organization, public or private.

Altri Florestal proceeds to the identification, mapping and characterization of natural values present in the assets under its management. By 2018 it had registered some species on the IUCN Red List and in the national list of species conservation:

Burhinus oedicnemus
Biodiversity Center
Knowledge of conservation values present in forest areas and interaction with forest management activities is of crucial importance for the sustainability of the forest ecosystem.
In this sense, Altri Florestal, in partnership with the scientific community, established a network of permanent monitoring and evaluation stations for biodiversity to assess species richness and the influence of forest management on biodiversity.
The selection of the main groups of fauna and flora as bio indicators and their monitoring will allow a better knowledge about the presence and distribution of the species and their sensitivity to the forestry practices.
Among the main groups of fauna selected in the monitoring network are birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians and insects (Day and Night Butterflies and Dragonflies).
The concept of a Biodiversity Station (EBIO) was developed by the Tagis Association (Center for the Conservation of Portuguese Butterflies). These are short pedestrian paths (maximum 3 kilometres), marked on the ground by 9 information panels on the biological diversity that visitors can observe. Each EBIO is located in a site of high specific and scenic richness, representative of the habitat's characteristics of the region. The panels function as a field guide and refer to emblematic and common species. Particular emphasis is placed on insects and plants, which are the basis for the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems.
Altri Florestal at an early stage of adherence to this concept of monitoring, selected two reference sites where the company has invested consistently in the improvement and restoration of habitats and conservation values. The Biodiversity Station of Ribeira da Foz and the Biodiversity Station of Quinta do Furadouro were created. During the next few years more EBIO are planned, with the highlight being the Cabeço Santo Biodiversity Station.
The concept of EBIO was integrated as a tool for communication and engagement with stakeholders due to the way it intends to promote visitation and enjoyment by local communities and, in a second phase, to disseminate these sites as "living laboratories" for the development of protocols for evaluation and monitoring with the scientific community.

06. Reducing environmental impacts
102-7
At Altri, an effort has been made over the years to minimize the consumption of raw materials, fossil fuels and water. The intention is to continue on this path, in order to optimize environmental performance, reducing costs and increasing competitiveness. On the other hand, we have been working on reducing the environmental impact caused by the activities of the Altri production units, with the development of actions leading to a reduction in net emissions, atmospheric emissions and waste produced.

All Altri industrial units have Environmental Management Systems implemented and certified in accordance with international standards of reference. In this context, all the environmental aspects are identified and the associated impacts and risks are assessed for all the activities carried out, as well as the control and mitigation measures associated, in the scope of those that are considered more meaningful.
Raw material consumption
301-1 301-2
The Group's base for the production of pulp is wood, a renewable raw material, which accounts for about 95% of the materials used in the manufacturing process and comes from large areas of certified and managed forests in a sustainable manner.

In addition to wood, Altri uses several chemicals, which account for only about 5% of the material used in the process, the most relevant being caustic soda, hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, sulphuric acid and sodium chlorate.
Energy consumption
302-1 302-3 302-4
The pulp production process is energy-intensive, but in Altri's production units the energy requirements are met through wood derivatives, namely black liquor, sawdust and bark, whose carbon content is considered to be environmentally neutral.
The focus on reducing production costs and increasing energy efficiency has led Celbi and Celtejo to implement and certify Energy Management Systems in accordance with the requirements of ISO 50001, which determine the definition and frequent implementation of specific improvement programs such as replacement of incandescent and fluorescent lamps with LEDs or actions to reduce energy consumption for motors above 200kW, which up to now have saved around 250 thousand Euro /year.
As a consequence of the various initiatives implemented over the last few years, it can be seen that, although the energy consumed remained substantially constant, in specific terms there was a positive variation in the decrease in electricity purchased abroad, due to the energy production of the industrial units.
Investing in new technologies and committing to the best practices of energy efficiency, allows the energy produced from the burning of biofuels to become increasingly representative, since 90% of the energy sources used in the manufacturing process are non-fossil.
Altri is self-sufficient in electric energy, using optimized cogeneration systems, based on the combined production of thermal energy and electric energy for industrial use, with the surplus of electricity placed in the national electricity grid.

Biomass is an organic material that exists in trees, crops and other plants. Biomass consists of carbohydrates - organic compounds that form in plants - and can be defined as stored solar energy in organic form.
As plants and trees grow, photosynthesis uses solar energy to transform carbon dioxide into carbohydrates (sugars and cellulose).
The use of biomass as an energy source does not produce a net increase in the emissions of carbon dioxide because as the plants develop carbon dioxide it is withdrawn from the atmosphere by photosynthesis. The use of biomass for energy production is thus a way of using forest residues which could otherwise create environmental risks, in particular, forest fires.


Air emissions management
At Altri, the atmospheric emissions associated with the production process are scrupulously monitored, according to the conditions established in the environmental licenses of each production unit.
Fossil CO2 Emissions
305-1 305-2 305-3 305-5 305-7
In 2018, Altri emitted a total of 126,274,495 kg of fossil CO2 .
Total GHG emissions increased by 22% in 2018 compared to 2016. This increase is due to the increase in Celtejo's emissions from the start-up of the new boiler (2016 - 39,140 tCO2 eq; 2017 - 28,316 tCO2 eq; 2018 - 59,180 tCO2 eq).
In 2018, specific emissions also increased by 15% compared to 2016, from 100 kg fossil CO2 / tpsa to 115 kg fossil CO2 / tpsa.

Carbon footprint
In 2018, Altri carried out an intensive study aimed at quantifying the Group's Carbon Footprint 2018, in specific terms. In total, Altri issued 430 kg CO2 / tpsa, distributed in the three areas considered: Scope 1 (27% of total emissions), Scope 2 (13% of total emissions), and Scope 3 (60%).
The avoided emissions (energy produced internally and supplied to the national grid) totalled, in 2018, 31 kg CO2 / tpsa

Water use
303-1 303-3
Altri is aware of the importance of efficient water use management and subscribes – completely - to the message from the Portuguese Environmental Agency: "Drought or not, use water in moderation."
Over the years, several improvement actions have been implemented in order to reduce the total and specific use of this natural resource, recycling and reusing it as much as possible.
Between 2016 and 2018, there was a reduction of about 10% in the specific use of water, while the three industrial units continued to be optimized for this resource.


- Total consumption of borehole water
- Specific consumption of water

Waste production and effluents
306-2
Altri strives to carry out projects of internal valorisation of waste and reduction of production of the same.
In 2018, of the total waste produced, 82% was sent to recovery processes, which represented an increase of 6%, compared to 2017.
| Waste production (kg) | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 87,424 | 89,115 | 73,922 |
| Landfill | 18,139 | 21,367 | 13,391 |
| Recovery rate | 79% | 76% | 82% |
At Altri only non-hazardous industrial wastes of procedural origin that do not have other suitable destinations are deposited in controlled landfills. In the case of Celbi and Celtejo, these landfills are integrated in the plants. At Celbi, the organic waste resulting from the preparation of wood, together with the sludge from the effluent treatment, is processed at the Waste Composting Station.
Waste that does not result from its productive activity (paper, plastic, glass, waste oils, waste contaminated with oils, etc.) is collected through an extensive network of selective collection containers and sent to duly licensed external waste management operators for this purpose, for the purpose of treating, disposing or recovering it.
VALAMAS program
Celbi has gradually increased its pulp production and, in addition to this increase in production, there has also been an increase in the production of biological sludge in the secondary effluent treatment.
These high values of biological sludge production require technically and economically viable alternatives for their recovery, both inside and outside Celbi's facilities, but which are environmentally appropriate. For this reason, a few years ago, priority was given to the use of biological sludge in the preparation of a compound for agricultural and forestry applications.
Due to the fact that the composting process causes odours associated with the biological sludge fermentation process, one of the Group's plants, Celbi, is developing a process whose objective is to energetically valorise biological sludge in the Recovery Boiler, technology used by the Nordic companies for several years and that has been an excellent valuation solution.
At Altri all plants are equipped with Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plants (IWWTPs) and proceed to the periodic monitoring of the quality of the liquid emissions.
Effluents
306-1
Throughout the year 2018, the industrial units of the Altri Group were guided by their compliance with the emission limits contained in their respective environmental licenses. In these units, all liquid effluents from the plants are subjected to primary treatment processes to remove suspended solids and are then treated in biological treatment units in which the organic matter is decomposed by microorganisms.
In 2018, the reductions in the total and specific effluent flow are due to the completion of projects to install new equipment and reconversions, which contribute to greater stability in the operation of the plants.
| Effluent flow | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effluent flow (x1000 m3 ) |
22,514 | 22,080 | 18,348 |
| Effluent flow (m3 /tpsa) |
22 | 21 | 17 |
New Celtejo WWTP
After a global investment of 12 million Euro, Celitejo's new Waste water Treatment Plant (WWTP), was tailor made by General Electric for Celtejo, to comply with the requirements of its environmental license. This equipment, state of the art technology, has become a case study in international conferences of suppliers of this type of equipment.
The new WWTP was designed to meet the specifications of BREF PP 2015 for effluents, placing Celtejo in the group of companies with the best practices in this field.
After sedimentation of primary sludge, the effluent to be treated is neutralized with CO2 and fed to three biological reactors in parallel with an individual volume of 12 thousand m3 . The next step includes the use of ultrafiltration membranes, with a mean pore size of less than 0.04 μm, which retain suspended material with the size of bacteria and viruses. Given the quality of the treated effluent, it is possible to reuse some of this water in the manufacturing process.
The excess sludge produced by the WWTP goes through two settlers and is centrifuged before being dispatched to composting operations at waste operators.


07. Promoting human capital
102-7
At Altri, we prioritize the skills and talent of our human capital as a factor of sustainable competitive advantage. In order to respond to these challenges, we have focused our work on a Human Resources Strategy based on the following guidelines:
The Group's commitment to the health and safety of its employees is evidenced by certification in occupational safety and health management systems under the OHSAS 18001 standard of all manufacturing units, as this certification is part of a risk management strategy, providing a more comprehensive and effective management of operational risks and contributing to the protection of employees and better performance.

challenging goals
Altri employees
102-8 102-41 401-1 405-1
At Altri, although the predominance of men is notorious (86% of employees), gender diversity is a theme that the Group recognizes as current and relevant. Although the Group's areas of activity eminently industrial - are areas historically more prone to male dominance, the fact is that the Group has been defining and implementing measures that have materialized in a greater gender parity for several years.
As an example of the fact that the measures implemented materialize in a greater gender parity, we have the cases of Celbi, Celtejo and Caima, who admitted, in 2017 and 2018, 14 women, with university education for their operational area of production, where traditionally only men are hired. After contact with the base of the operation, the teams and shift work are completing a specific training program for the conduct of different procedural facilities.
Resulting from Altri's workforce renovation, 17% of the company's employees are now under 30 years of age and 33% have higher education qualifications, contrasting with the year 2010 when this number was only 24%.

Most of Altri's employees are full-time employees (in 2018, there was only 1 part-time employee). Similarly, 88% of employees have a permanent employment contract.

Following the commitment to reinforce critical skills and ensure succession in the job posts, there was an important flow of new hirings, with great potential, which have contributed to the rejuvenation of the Group's staff. The following were highlighted in this scope: the reinforcement of professionals in the areas of Production, Maintenance, IT and Research and Development.
In addition to representing a significant and decisive contribution by the Group to the fight against unemployment and the promotion of durable and highly skilled employment, the hiring number is justified by the high number of termination of employment contracts because of the age of retirement. Truthfully, the fact that there is a high number of employees reaching retirement age is the best evidence that the Group pursues a highly sustainable human resource policy, capable of retaining talent and promoting and rewarding experience and the know-how that only age can achieve.

Attracting and retaining of talent
Altri strives not only to attract, but above all, to retain talent for the various areas of the Group's companies. It attracts young people with high potential and promotes their professional development, through highly qualified training actions and the assignment of functions that are challenging to their competencies, allowing a professional growth based on excellence. In the same way, it sensitizes its employees and implements measures that allow them to achieve a healthy balance between their personal and professional responsibilities.

401-2
"A company is not distinguished by the size of its staff, but by being able to attract and retain high-level employees. Similarly, a worker does not count for being available to work, but for the skills that he is able to offer."
António Jorge Pedrosa, Human Resources department manager at Celbi
Internships
Altri, through its industrial units, has strong policies for granting internships, both professional and complementary to school curriculum, which allow young people the possibility of having contact with business reality, in a very active, dynamic and export oriented sector.
In 2018, there were 83 trainees in the companies of the Altri Group, 16% of which were integrated after completing the internship.
"Summer Academy" Program
This program is an initiative that has taken place in Celbi, without interruption, for more than 30 years and normally takes place in August, in several areas of the company.
Every year the company is invaded by the irreverence of about three dozen young people between the ages of 17 and 22 from high schools and higher education establishments. The young are employees' children and students with school merit.
One of Celbi's objectives in organizing this program is to enable young people to have a first contact with the world of work, to improve their knowledge about the sector, the activities that the company develops within its social and environmental responsibility and to contribute to their personal development.
Happy employees are Altri's trademark image.
Altri offers its employees various social benefits, such as health insurance and the pension fund. These are benefits that contribute to the well-being and satisfaction of employees and, as a result, motivate them to be truly productive, in a reciprocal logic. Employees feel supported by the Group at two crucial moments in their personal lives - in promoting health and disease and retirement support.
1. Celbi Club and Celtejo Sports Group
The Celbi Club and the Celtejo Sports Group have as their mission to provide their associates, who are employees of these companies, and family, activities and initiatives of a cultural, sports and recreational nature that reinforce the relationship of people, thus contributing to the promotion of the company's social environment.

2. Celtejo Olympics
The Celetejo Olympics, held since 2015, promote the practice of sports and the strengthening of ties between employees. The practice of these activities takes place throughout the year, with 10 teams consisting of people from the factory and from different areas competing in card games, darts, ping-pong, table football, futsal, running and archery. In December, at the Christmas party, the prizes are awarded to the Olympic champions.
3. Partnership with IPCB's Health School
Celtejo has a partnership with the School of Health of the IPCB (Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco), which allows for a physical therapist to go to Celtejo every week to provide massages, usually a teacher and a student, an initiative highly valued by employees, for its positive impact on their well-being.
4. Summer Camp
The Celbi Summer Camp takes place during the month of August of each year and has the duration of 15 days. It is intended for the children of the employees of the company between the ages of 7 and 12 years. In the past, this activity took place in the forest areas of the company itself, but since 1998 the initiative has taken place at Campo Aventura in Óbidos, near Quinta do Furadouro.
Skill development
404-1 404-2
Altri believes that the integral development of its employees is as positive for them as for the Group. For this reason, it makes a great investment in their training.
In 2018, Altri provided 27,687 hours of training to its employees, organizing actions in the most diversified areas, always adjusted to the needs of business and employees. The hours of training illustrate the Group's commitment to continuous professional development of its human capital.

The Group's continuous improvement and positioning objectives are closely related to the skills of all employees, irrespective of the area or level of responsibility.
In order to boost their performance as a significant competitive upper hand, it is envisaged to develop the skills of employees as a strategic challenge, promoting and facilitating their study to acquire knowledge and improve their aforementioned performance:
Introductory Training
With the objective of facilitating the process of adaptation and integration into the Group, starting the process of organizational socialization, on the first day, all newly admitted and trainees participate in a welcoming program:
- Presentation of the company and the Group, its history and culture, mission and values.
- During a guided tour of the premises, other employees are presented and a general description of the manufacturing processes is transmitted to them. The new employees are also included in the Code of Ethics and Conduct, their rights and obligations.
- Topics covered include industrial safety, use of personal protective equipment, emergency plan and fire protection, combining basic concepts of Environmental, Quality and Energy Management Systems.
Altri Leadership Academy
In 2013, Altri decided to establish the "Altri Leadership Academy" with the ambition of creating an aligned, comprehensive and time-based training model capable of opening the way for the development of appropriate skills for all companies in the group, reinforcing culture and goals of the group.
The first training program developed at the academy called "Breakthrough Program for Altri Future Leaders" was developed in partnership with Porto Business School (PBS) and carried out between 2013 and 2015, involving 90 senior managers from the various functional areas of the companies of the Altri group.
The program was structured in order to align the business strategy, integrate the values, the organizational culture of the Group and develop new skills for future leaders in an increasingly global and increasingly competitive market.
In the second half of 2018, a new course began, also in partnership with PBS, designated as "Growth Program for Altri High Potentials", which covered 45 young employees.
With the objective of betting on the younger staff of the various areas of the group companies that today have challenges that deserve a particular attention, this course was a valuable contribution to endow the participants with updated skills and seek to retain talent, with potential to perform qualified duties in the future.
In 2018, other courses in Management, Negotiation and Leadership were also developed, in partnership with other management schools such as the Catholic University of Lisbon, oriented specifically to specific competences integrating different professional and personal development tools such as assessments, seminars, coaching and mentoring.
Back to school
There are several cases of employees who have decided to return to school or university, either by their own initiative or by accepting the challenge promoted by the Group. The Group supports travel expenses, tuition fees and facilitates study hours at the time of exams.
In the last 16 years, 30 employees (still in active employment) returned to studying, 25 of them to higher education.

Since human capital is one of the main assets of the Altri Group, it is vitally important that everyone feels part of the whole entity, thus contributing to the improvement of the team where they work, so with the implementation of the Kaizen tool in the 3 industrial units, it is one more methodology of teamwork that reinforces the search for the continuous improvement in connection between the several levels of the hierarchy.
Health and safety
403-2
Altri, aware that in the context of the pulp industry, safety risks are among the most significant operational risks, promotes and encourages a safety culture in which all employees are responsible for making everyday work, healthier and safer for themselves and for those around them.
Health and safety management
With the ambitious aim of achieving the goal of "zero accidents" in its companies, Altri relies on employee involvement that begins with top management and spreads across hierarchical levels. Although Altri's safety management system complies with all applicable health and safety legislation and is based on international standards such as OHSAS 18001, the process implemented goes beyond the mandatory requirements, aiming to provide safe and healthy work environments, and thus guaranteeing the individual's right to protection, health and integrity.
The Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems implemented, present in Altri's three industrial units, are based on the following pillars:
Certification in compliance with OHSAS 18001
Medical Office with a work doctor and a properly functioning nursing service equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment equipment
Proper security installations, with the availability of materials and equipment for individual and collective protection and for monitoring the execution of daily functions
Technical and human resources used in emergencies, particularly in the case of individual accidents, fire and other incidents of an industrial nature
Monitoring of health and safety data
Altri is committed to monitoring all indicators related to employee health and safety. The indicators established in 2017 show significant increases compared to 2016, due to an exepcional 2016 in terms of health and safe indicators. However, although above the values of 2016, 2018 registered a decrease of the main indicators of health and safety:
• The total absenteeism rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points compared to 2017. The main cause of absenteeism was absence due to illness, with more than 54% of the total hours. The second cause, about 19% of total absences, is absences under the new parenting law, which is revealing of the process of rejuvenation that has been witnessed in the staff of the group companies.

In the analysis of occupational accidents, Altri uses statistical indices, so that, regarding numerical values, it can identify its priorities of action, favouring those who are worse off in relation to work accidents.The 2 Indexes used are:

In 2018, the Frequency Index stood at 17.02 ("Good" according to the International Labour Organization - ILO) and the Severity Index stood at 0.45 in the same year ("Good" according to the ILO).
Occupational Medical Services
Being the health and well-being of employees a clear concern for Altri, the Group's policy in this area is even more demanding and careful than the legal documents require. Instead of requiring employees to perform medical examinations every two years for employees under 50, Altri, through its own health post and the occupational physician and its nursing team, promotes the performance of annual exams for all employees. The group offers its employees one of the most advanced and best equipped medical centres within industrial units in the country, which they resort to, according to their health and wellness needs.
Also, the costs of carrying out clinical analyses, whenever requested in the scope of Occupational Medicine and performed by the contracted service providers, are fully borne by the companies of the Altri Group.
Similarly, medical examinations at work are not the only source of information regarding fitness for work. The occupational physician performs a real assessment of the worker's abilities, taking into account the specific functions that are assigned to him or her, and makes close, careful and rigorous follow-up.
This policy has created a service of medical excellence, one of the most developed and competent in the country in industrial contexts, based on two main axis: i) prevent potential (professional) risks and (ii) promote the health of those who work.

Safety training
Safety training is also one of the fundamental pillars of the Group's safety culture.
1. Certified Training
Certified training allows qualification and recognition in the job market of forestry operators' skills, as corroborated by the Work Conditions Authority and the General - Directory for Employment and Work Relations.
The purpose of these training courses is to draw attention to the procedures, rules and hygiene and safety precautions.
2. Code of Forest Practices (CFP)
Altri Florestal describes in its CFP all the procedures deemed necessary to ensure the correct execution of the services, to avoid or minimize the identified environmental and social impacts, and to reduce the exposure of employees to the risks associated with forestry work.
The CFP stipulates all procedures and equipment deemed necessary to safeguard the health and safety of persons involved in forestry activities, whether they are employees of Altri Florestal or of companies that provide forestry services.

3. First Aid Workshop
In 2018, Altri Florestal provided first aid training to its employees with precise indications of how to act in case of an accident, both in the first aid provided on the spot and in the way in which they should communicate to the paramedics the exact position of the accident and to ensure that aid arrives as soon as possible and that assistance is delivered promptly and efficiently.
Promoting health and well-being
Healthy + Businesses
Celtejo participated in the program developed by QuintilesIMS in partnership with Take The Wind and Stanton Chase International, which aims to motivate companies to raise the standards of health promoters of their collaborators: Healthy + Businesses. The program elects the organizations with the best levels of health to operate in Portugal, by measuring the cardiovascular and psychosocial health of its employees.
The mission of the Healthy + Businesses initiative is to increase awareness of cardiovascular prevention of the adult population in the workplace by implementing good health practices and promoting healthy lifestyles by reducing blood glucose, cholesterol, arterial blood pressure and BMI, while reducing the levels of stress, anxiety and mental fatigue.
Celtejo participated in this initiative in 2018, introducing it to all the factory population and had the adhesion of 150 employees who were initially accompanied through a medical consultation face-to-face, later complemented with a nutrition consult and advice on physical exercise appropriate to each case. Then, for four months, the professionals were accompanied by telephone or in person, regarding the exercise and nutrition plans that were to follow.

08. Involving communities
102-7
Altri is committed to creating lasting and relevant relationships with surrounding communities through partnerships, media development, and support to a range of initiatives and activities from a wide range of institutions and areas impacting society.

Supporting local communities
413-1 413-2
Altri, conscious of its highly innovative and dynamic activity in the paper pulp sector, has permanently present in its performance, its social and environmental responsibility. Thus, in 2018, and similarly to previous years, it supported local causes and entities, reinforced school and academic partnerships, and developed environmental initiatives with an impact on surrounding communities.
Support to local entities
Support to the Volunteer Firefighters of Constância
Caima supports the Volunteer Firefighters of Constância through a protocol of cooperation aimed at carrying out joint activities such as drills and training of operators in the use of means to combat fires.
In addition, the company sponsors some of the Volunteer Firefighter's needs.
Organization of the Volunteer Day and support to the Volunteer Firefighters of Vila Velha de Ródão
Celtejo organizes annual Volunteer Day, which consists of the recovery of important spaces for the local population by a group of employees. This activity is carried out during working hours, and Celtejo supplies all the necessary materials to carry out the activity successfully and safely. All initiatives were carried out in the region of Vila Velha de Ródão, in particular by cleaning the banks of the Rio Tejo, recovering monuments and regional historical areas, recovering the VVR School Group playground, and the rehabilitation of the Infantile Playground of the Kindergarten of Vila Velha de Ródão and the recovery of the gardens of the Day Centre of Vila Velha de Ródão.
1. Promotion of "Ser Leirosa, Ser +"
Celbi promoted the initiative "Ser Leirosa, Ser +", which is a project included in the Mais InterAções E6G program, which supports children and families in Leirosa to develop children's skills in school and in occupational activities. The initiative is to support around 50 children in a variety of areas ranging from support in the study room to holiday workshops and other initiatives to improve family and community links with a view to better integration and equal opportunities for children and young people living in disadvantaged economic environments.
Of the activities carried out, the School of Parents stands out, which consists of sessions of vocational guidance, accompanied by psychologists, and in some cases adult literacy.

2. Collaboration with IPST (Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation)
Celtejo supports IPST by conducting biannual blood collection at its facilities, involving all its employees and local entities, as well as the population of the municipality of Vila Velha de Ródão. In the total of the four collections already completed, 224 donors registered for the Celtejo Collection, and 198 donations were made by the donors.

3. Support to CRPL (Clube Recreativo da Praia da Leirosa)
The CRLP has 110 athletes practicing federated and non-federated football, and in September 2017 inaugurated its new synthetic grass field, supported by Celbi, which donated 155 thousand Euro out of the 500 thousand Euro needed to value the new space. This support was not limited to support in the new field of synthetic turf, assuming the payment of the total expenditure of water, both for synthetic turf watering and for bathing, allowing the saving of these expenses to be used by the club in improving the conditions of the athletes.
In 2018 Celbi also contributed to the purchase of equipment for four training age groups

"This initiative reveals the social responsibility that guides Celbi's performance, not only in terms of Sport, but also in areas such as Education. The commitment of the company to the parish where it is based is remarkable and is based on supports like these, which made possible the accomplishment of a project long sought by the community of Leirosa"
João Ataíde, Figueira da Foz City Council

School and academic partnerships
Partnerships with Universities and proximity to schools
Altri maintains several protocols, promotes initiatives in partnership with academic institutions and supports logistically and financially some of the Schools' and Universities' projects.
- Celtejo equipped the laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of the Association of Schools of Vila Velha de Ródão, with a new counter to carry out tests and Celbi proceeded to a donation to the Grouping of Schools Figueira Mar, which made possible the acquisition of a technical counter for the Electronic, Automation and Command Course at the Dr. Bernardino Machado Secondary School.
- Celtejo also supported the remodelling of one of the laboratories of the University of Beira Interior.
Protocol with EPIS (Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion)
In 2018, Celbi renewed the protocol with Figueira da Foz City Hall and EPIS - Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion. This protocol had the objective of implementing a network of professional mediators of training for the school success in the municipality of Figueira da Foz, together with the students of the 3rd cycle of basic education. The protocol was renewed at the end of 2018 for another 3 years, thus allowing this methodology to be extended to more students.
Caima started in 2018 the awarding of EPIS Scholarships for "Academic Merit" to students of the Municipality of Constância who finished 12th year in the Constância School Grouping. Aware that corporate social responsibility goes far beyond job creation, Caima helps these young people to realize their goals and pursue their studies, helping to create conditions so that they can one day make a difference in their community.
Environmental Initiatives
1. Factory and village improvements
Celtejo made an investment of 85 million Euro (the largest private investment made within country borders in 2018) in factory improvement projects, with consequent benefits for the surrounding community in Vila Velha de Ródão. Among these improvements:
• Start-up of a new state-of-the-art industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWWTP), encompassed by the modernization project called Tejo Project 2018. The station is able to treat, in addition to the Celtejo discharges, wastewater from dairies located in the industrial area of Vila Velha de Ródão, assisting other companies to fulfill their environmental obligations.
2. Promotion of the country's largest voluntary beach cleaning
In June 2018, and for the fourth consecutive year, more than two hundred participants, children and adults, took action in the cleaning of the beach of Leirosa, an initiative promoted by Celbi, in partnership with the Center for Public Recreation of Marinha das Ondas - Leirosa Beach (CRPMO), the Scout Group of Marinha de Ondas, the Marinha das Ondas Parish Council, the Recreational and Sporting Cultural Association (ACRDM), Caritas Coimbra and the MAREFOZ Laboratory.
After the success of the first two editions of the initiative, parents, children, friends, employees of Celbi, residents of the parish of Marinha das Ondas, Leirosa beach and other surrounding communities joined for a cause - cleaning the beaches, collecting the equivalent of an industrial waste container, mostly plastics.

Methodological Notes
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)
Total GHG emissions were calculated under the Emissions Trading System (ETS). The ETS is a flexible mechanism envisaged in the context of the Kyoto Protocol, being the first intra-EU market instrument for regulating GHG emissions.
In Portugal, the application of European Union legislation is done through the National Emission Allowance Plan (PNALE), with application in the period 2013-2020.
The Altri Group companies hold GHG emission certificates for the referred period.
The reported CO2 emissions were verified and validated by an accredited external entity.

Carbon footprint
In 2018, Altri carried out an intensive study that aimed to quantify the Company's Carbon Footprint 2018 in specific terms.
To this end, 3 scopes were considered:
- Scope 1: Emissions from sources belonging to or controlled by Altri (i) Fixed sources: Recovery Boiler, Auxiliary Boiler and Lime Furnace, Process Emissions: Limestone and Sodium Carbonate (ii) Mobile combustion: internal circulation vehicles).
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the production of electricity acquired from the national electricity grid and consumed by the company.
- Scope 3: Other indirect emissions.
As such, 10 elements were considered:
1. CO2 forest sequestration
When managed sustainably, forests function as carbon reservoirs, causing the amount of carbon retained in forests to remain stable or even increase over time. In addition to their importance in combating climate change, they generate other environmental and social benefits.
Altri through its responsibility chain process (certified by FSC®- Forest Stewardship Council® and PEFC™ Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) promotes sustainable forest management with its suppliers. This element, at the moment, is not included in the scope of Altri's carbon footprint.
2. CO2 retained in the paper pulp while it is in use
The paper pulp contains carbon in its composition. This element indicates the amount of CO2 that is kept out of the atmosphere while the product is in use.
- 3. GHG emissions associated with the pulp production process It includes emissions from fixed sources (Recovery Boiler, Lime Oven, Auxiliary Boiler), process emissions (from the use of calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate as replacement chemicals), and emissions from internal combustion engines of the circulation vehicles (light-rail vehicles and those used in the transport of wood that circulate inside the factory)
- 4. GHG emissions associated with the production process of eucalyptus wood Includes emissions resulting from operations associated with forest management (preparation of the land, installation and management of forest stands, logging and establishment of the road and divisional network). It also includes the precombustion of diesel and gasoline in said operations.
- 5. GHG emissions associated with the production of other raw materials It includes the emissions associated with the production of chemicals used in the process, as well as the fuels consumed.
- 6. GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity Includes emissions associated with the production of electricity purchased from the national grid. EDP supplier emission factor for 2012.
7. GHG emissions associated with transport
Includes transport of wood and chemicals to the factory. It also includes the transport of pulp from the factory to the customer, only when this transportation is the responsibility of Altri. There are cases where the responsibility of transporting the pulp is the customer's. It also includes the transport of waste.
8. GHG emissions associated with the use of the product (e.g. paper production)
This element is not included in the scope of Altri's carbon footprint.
9. GHG emissions associated with end of product life
This element is not included in the scope of Altri's carbon footprint.
10. GHG emissions avoided
It counts the emissions associated with the production of the electric energy that is supplied to the national electricity grid.

The accompanying notes from an integral part of consolidated financial statements.
The official chatered accountant The Board of Directors
1. Introductory note
Altri, SGPS, S.A. ("Altri" or "Company") is a public company incorporated in the as of March 1, 2005, as a result of the restructuration process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. Its headquarters are located at Rua General Norton de Matos, 68, r/c – Porto, Portugal. It is currently in the process of headquarters relocation to Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818, Porto, Portugal, and its shares are listed in the Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange. Its main activity is the management of investments.
Altri is the parent company of a group of companies – as specified in Note 4 – known as Altri Group. The Group's current business activity focuses on the production of bleached eucalyptus pulp in the three following mills: Celbi in Figueira da Foz, Caima in Constância do Ribatejo and Celtejo in Vila Velha de Ródão.
Given the Group's reality, the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached pulp from eucalyptus). Additionally, management information is also analysed on the assumption that there is a unique business segment. Accordingly, the segment information presented in Note 38 is limited by this assessment.
The consolidated financial statements of Altri Group are presented in Euro rounded off to the unit, which is the currency used by the Group in its operations and considered as the functional currency. The operations of foreign companies whose functional currency is other than Euro are included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2.2.b).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared for appreciation and approval by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Group's Board of Directors, who approved the consolidated financial statements on April 9, 2019, believes that they will be approved in the General Shareholders Meeting without any changes.
2. Main accounting policies
The main accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:
2.1. Basis of preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included on the consolidation, which were prepared accordingly with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union on a historical cost basis, except for the biological assets and some financial instruments which are stated at fair value. These standards include International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards ("IAS") issued by International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), as adopted by the European Union for the financial statements of periods starting on or after 1 January 2018. Standards and interpretations above mentioned will be generally presented as "IFRS".
The Board of Directors evaluated the Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies' ability to operate on a going concern basis, considering all the available facts, circumstances and information (financial, operational, commercial and others), as well as subsequent events after the statement of financial position date. The Boarder of Directors concluded that proper resources are available for the Group to continue with its operations in the future and there is no intention of ceasing the Group's activities in the future. Thus, the preparation of the financial statement on a going concern basis is adequate.
The interim financial statements were presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting".
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under a historical cost convention, except for part of property, plant and equipment, biological assets and those financial instruments which are carried at a revalued amount or at fair value as detailed in the main accounting policies section below.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group takes into consideration the information that would be used by market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value is determined on the basis described above except in what concerns leases which are measured according to the prescriptions of IAS 17 and except to those measurement which are close to fair value, such as the net realisable value or the value in use, as described in IAS 2 and IAS 36, respectively.
Assets measured at fair value after initial recognition are grouped into three levels, according to the degree to which the fair value is observable:
- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and
- Level 3: valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
(i) Adoption of new revised or amended standards and interpretations
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions endorsed by European Union with mandatory application in the financial years beginning on January 1, 2018:
| Standard | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years starting on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 9 – Financial instruments | 1-jan-18 | This standard is part of the revision of IAS 39 and establishes the new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities to the methodology for the calculation of impairment and for the application of hedge accounting rules. |
| IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers |
1-jan-18 | IFRS 15 replaces all existing revenue requirements in IFRS (IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services). |
| Amendments to IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers |
1-jan-18 | These amendments introduce several clarifications in the standard in order to eliminate the possibility of divergent interpretations of several topics |
| Amendments to IFRS 4: application of IFRS 9, Financial instruments, with IFRS 4, Insurance contracts |
1-jan-18 | The amendments address concerns arising from implementing the new financial instruments standard, IFRS 9, before implementing IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, which replaces IFRS 4. |
| Amendments to IFRS 2 – Share-based payments |
1-jan-18 | The IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment in relation to the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. The amendments address three main areas: (i) The effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction, (ii) The classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations), (iii) The accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash-settled to equity settled. |
| Improvements to international financial reporting standards (cycle 2014-2016) |
1-jan-18 except for changes to IFRS 12, which were applicable starting on 1-jan-17 |
These improvements include the clarification of some aspects related to: IFRS 1 – First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: elimination of some short-term exemptions; IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities: clarification of the scope of the standard for its application to interests classified as held for sale or held for distribution under IFRS 5; IAS 28 – Investments in associated and joint ventures: introduction of several clarifications about the measurement at fair value of results from investments in associates or joint ventures held by venture capital companies or investment funds. |
| IFRIC 22 – Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration |
1-jan-18 | The interpretation clarifies that in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a nonmonetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. |
| Amendments to IAS 40 – Investment properties |
1-jan-18 | The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. |
| Amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes | 1-jan-17 | The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. |
| Amendments to IAS 7 - Disclosures | 1-jan-17 | The amendments require entities to provide disclosures about changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). |
IFRS 9 – Financial instruments
IFRS 9 was endorsed through the European Commission ordinance number 2067/2016 from 22 November 2016 with initial application for periods beginning on 1 January 2018 – early adoption is permitted.
Except in what concerns hedge accounting, the retrospective application is mandatory, although restatement of comparative information is not mandatory. In what concerns hedge accounting, the requirements are usually applied prospectively, with some exceptions.
IFRS 9 brought changes in the classification and measurement of financial instruments, in the financial assets' impairment and in the designation of hedging relationships.
Altri adopted this standard on the date of initial application and did not restate the comparative information, which is an option foreseen in the standard.
IFRS 9 prescribed a new approach to the classification and measuring of financial assets which reflects the business model used in its management and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. Therefore, IFRS 9 thus established three new categories of classification of financial assets:
- (i) measured at amortised cost;
- (ii) at fair value through other comprehensive income; and
- (iii) at fair value through profit or loss
and eliminated the categories of: (i) loans and accounts receivable; (ii) held to maturity; and (iii) available for sale prescribed in IAS 39.
The Group has assessed the changes resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 in its financial assets and liabilities in order to identify not only the quantitative but also the qualitative impacts of the adoption of the standard.
As of 31 December 2017, the financial assets recognized by the Group could be broken-down in the following categories:
- (i) Trade receivables and other receivables;
- (ii) Investments available for sale; and
- (iii) Derivatives.
From the analysis carried out, the Group concluded that the financial assets included in the category of loans and accounts receivable (headings of customers and other debtors) and those related to financial assets held to maturity should be allocated to the category "hold to collect" and that they should be recorded at amortised cost. From this reclassification, no impact arises to the Group's equity.
Regarding the financial assets available for sale, those started to be recorded at fair value and allocated to the category of "at fair value through profit or loss". From this reclassification, no impact arises to the Group's equity.
Regarding the remaining financial assets and liabilities, except for the derivative financial instruments, they remained measured at amortised cost.
Regarding the impairment calculation (and the change from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model), the Group opted by the usage of a uncollectible historical matrix (simplified model) for the determination of the new impairment over its accounts receivable (including the ones arising from the adoption of IFRS 15), recognising the estimated impairment losses for the whole life of the credits.
Therefore, the expected impairment losses were determined based on the historical losses occurred throughout a period deemed to be relevant for statistical purposes, having also been estimated loss rates by company and by type of customers.
There was no impact on the Group's equity as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9.
In the adoption process of IFRS 9, the Group decided to use the transitional rules established on that standard, i.e., the retrospective application with the initial accumulated effect recognised in retained earnings as of 1 January 2018.
The impacts resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 on the date of initial application (1 January 2018) were the following:
| 31/12/2017 | Reclassifications | 1/1/2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biological assets | 94,848,275 | - | 94,848,275 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 396,515,699 | - | 396,515,699 |
| Investment properties | 113,310 | - | 113,310 |
| Goodwill | 265,531,404 | - | 265,531,404 |
| Intangible assets | 1,019,232 | - | 1,019,232 |
| Investments in associated companies and joint ventures | 17,456,932 | - | 17,456,932 |
| Investments available for sale | 8,692,628 | (8,692,628) | 8,692,628 |
| Other financial investments | - | 8,692,628 | - |
| Other non-current assets | 3,210,260 | - | 3,210,260 |
| Derivatives | 1,796,781 | - | 1,796,781 |
| Deferred tax assets | 37,776,892 | - | 37,776,892 |
| Total non-current assets | 826,961,413 | - | 826,961,413 |
| Total assets | 1,210,088,507 | - | 1,210,088,507 |
| Total equity | 394,567,076 | - | 394,567,076 |
| Total shareholders' funds and liabilities | 1,210,088,507 | - | 1,210,088,507 |
IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
IFRS 15 superHeadquarterss IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers.
IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive disclosures.
The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the full retrospective method of adoption. The effect of the transition on the current period has not been disclosed as the standard provides an optional practical expedient. The Group did not apply any of the other available optional practical expedients. The Group opted for the application of the standard to the contracts that were not concluded as of 1 January 2018.
From the analysis carried out by the Group, no quantitative impacts were identified from the adoption of IFRS 15 since the recognition criterion of the Group's revenue streams is the same as that foreseen in IAS 18.
The reclassifications resulting from the adoption of IFRS 15 on the date of initial application (1 January 2018) can be seen in the Statement of Financial Position under the captions "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities".
| 31/12/2017 | Reclassifications | 1/1/2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total assets | 1,210,088,507 | - | 1,210,088,507 |

(ii) Standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions that will take effect in future financial years
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application to future financial years, were, until the approval date of the accompanying financial statements, endorsed by the European Union:
| Standard | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years starting on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 16 – Leases | 1-jan-19 | IFRS 16 requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar way to finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of 'low-value' assets (e.g., personal computers) and short term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). |
| Amendments to IFRS 9: Prepayment features with negative compensation |
1-jan-19 | Under IFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are 'solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding' (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract. |
| IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over income tax treatments |
1-jan-19 | This interpretation provides guidance on how an entity should measure various tax amounts depending on whether it is probable or not that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment and how it should consider changes in facts and circumstances in respect of uncertain tax treatments. |
Although these standards have been endorsed by the European Union, they were not adopted by the Group in the year ended as of 31 December 2018, as their application in the year was not mandatory. Except for IFRS 16 – Leasing, no significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements due to the adoption of these standards.
IFRS 16 – Leases
IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model like the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of 'low-value' assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less).
At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognise a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset). Lessees will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.
Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognise the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from today's accounting under IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.
IFRS 16, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.
Transition to IFRS 16
The Group opted for the modified retrospective model foreseen in paragraphs C3(a), C7 and C8 of IFRS 16. Consequently, it determined the discount rate based on the incremental borrowing rate using the currency, maturity and cash flows inherent to the lease and to the credit risk of the Group.
The Group elected to use the exemption proposed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease terms ends within 12 months as of the date of initial application.
Consequently, the estimated impacts of the application of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 are an increase in the total assets of approximately 68 million Euro related to the "Right of use", an increase of total liabilities of approximately 78 million Euro regarding the "Lease Liability" and a decrease in total equity of approximately 10 million Euro. In what concerns the profit or loss statement of 2019, the Group expects a decrease of approximately 11 million Euro under "External services and supplies" and an increase of 2 million Euro and 8 million Euro under "Financial Expenses" and "Amortisation and depreciation", respectively.
The impacts disclosed above are an estimate which is subject to change from the final assessment of the initial application of the standard as well as from additional clarifications from the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRS-IC"), particularly in what concerns clarifications required from the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA").
(iii) New standards and interpretations, amended or revised not yet endorsed by the European Union
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application to future financial years have not been endorsed by the European Union until the approval date of the accompanying financial statements:
| Standard | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years starting on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts | 1-jan-21 | This standard sets the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure principles for insurance contracts, replacing IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts. |
| Improvements to international financial reporting standards (cycle 2015-2017) |
1-jan-19 | These improvements clarify some aspects related to: IFRS 3 – business combinations: requires the re-measurement of previously held interests when an entity gains control over an affiliate with whom had joint control; IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements: clarifies that previously held interests should not be re-measured when an entity obtains joint control over a joint operation; IAS 12 – Income taxes: ensures that every fiscal consequence arisen from dividends must be recorded in the profit or loss account, irrespective of how the tax has surged; IAS 23 – Borrowing costs: Ensures that the part of the loan allocated to the construction/ purchase of an asset, owed upon the same has become ready for its desired use, is (for the purpose of calculating the rate of capitalization) considered an integral part of the entity's general funding. |
| Amendments to IAS 19 – Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement |
1-jan-19 | The proposed amendments specify the accounting treatment in case of existence of amendments, curtailments or settlements to a given plan. |
| Amendments to IFRS conceptual framework |
1-jan-20 | This amendment reviews the concepts defined in the IFRS conceptual framework. (IFRS 2, IFRS 3, IFRS 6, IFRS 14, IAS 1, IAS 8, IAS 34, IAS 37, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, IFRIC 19, IFRIC 20, IFRIC 22 e SIC 32) |
| Standard | Applicable in the European Union in the financial years starting on or after |
|
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures |
1-jan-19 | The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long term interests). |
| Amendments to IFRS 3 – Definition of a business |
1-jan-20 | The amendments clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants can replace any missing elements, add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs and introduce an optional fair value concentration test. New illustrative examples were provided along with the amendments. |
These standards have not been endorsed by the European Union, and as such, were not adopted by the Group in the year ended as of 31 December 2018. No significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements because of the adoption of these standards.
The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group as of 31 December 2018 are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017, except for Notes 2.1. (i) mentioned above.
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the IFRS, the Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported assets and liabilities, as well as the income and expenses in relation to the reported periods. All the estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors were made based on its better existing knowledge, regarding the date of approval of the financial statements, of the events and transactions in progress (Note 2.4).
2.2. Basis of consolidation
The basis of consolidation used by the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
a) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights and is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (definition of control normally used by the Group), are included in the consolidated financial statements by the full consolidation method. Equity and net profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately, under the caption "Non-controlling interests", in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 4.1.
The total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the mother-company and to the non-controlling members even if by doing that, the company acquires a deficit balance at the level of non-controlling interests.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, respectively.
Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are performed, whenever necessary, in order to adapt its accounting policies to those used by the Group. All intercompany transactions, balances and distributed dividends are eliminated during the consolidation process.
b) Translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements to local currency
Assets and liabilities in the financial statements of foreign entities are translated to Euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date. Profit or loss and cash flows are converted to Euro using the average exchange rate for the period. The exchange rate differences originated are recorded in the equity caption "Conversion reserves".
Goodwill and adjustments to the fair value arising from the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as assets and liabilities of those companies and translated to Euro at the balance sheet date exchange rate.
Whenever a foreign company is sold, the accumulated exchange rate differences are recorded in the statement of profit or loss as a gain or loss associated with the sale, if there is a loss of control, or transferred to non-controlling interests in case there is no loss of control.
Exchange rates used on translation of affiliate accounts in foreign currency were as follows:
| 31-12-2018 | 31-12-2017 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year end | Average | Year end | Average | ||
| Swiss Franc | 1.1269 | 1.154958 | 1.1702 | 1.1116741 |
2.3. Main accounting policies
The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
a) Intangible assets
Intangible fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, are controlled by the Group and if its cost can be reliably measured.
Development costs are recognised as an intangible asset if the Group has proven technical feasibility and ability to finish the development and to sell/use such assets and it is likely that those assets will generate future economic benefits. Development costs which do not fulfil these conditions are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Internal costs related with software maintenance and development are recorded as expenses in the statement of profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred, except when these costs are directly attributable to projects for which the existence of future economic benefits is probable. If this is the case, they are capitalized as intangible assets.
Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis, as from the date the asset is in the necessary condition for use, over its expected useful life (usually 3 to 5 years). In the case of intangible assets related with the exploration licenses of Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. (and its subsidiaries), the useful life is the same as the licensing period.
b) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment acquired until 1 January 2004 (IFRS transition date) are recorded at deemed cost, which corresponds to its acquisition cost, or its acquisition cost re-valued in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal until that date, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment acquired after that date, are recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, as from the date the asset is in the necessary condition for use, over the expected useful life for each group of assets.
The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives:
| Years | |
|---|---|

Impairment losses identified in the recoverable amount of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a corresponding charge against the caption "Provisions and impairment losses" in the profit or loss statement.
Maintenance and repair costs related to tangible assets which do not increase the useful life or result in significant benefits or improvements in tangible fixed assets are recorded as expenses in the period they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment in progress correspond to fixed assets still in construction and are stated at acquisition cost, net of impairment losses. These assets are depreciated from the date they are concluded or ready to be used under the conditions and for the use established by the management.
Gains or losses arising from the sale or disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the asset's net book value as at the date of its sale/disposal, and are recorded in the statement of profit or loss under the captions "Other income" or "Other expenses".
c) Investment properties
Investment properties correspond to the properties (land or building or part of a building or both) that are not used in the Group's activities: production or supply of goods or services, administrative purposes or held for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Investment properties are recognised at acquisition cost (including transaction costs) and, subsequently, are measured at acquisition or production cost, net of eventual impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, as from the date the asset is in the necessary condition for use, over the expected useful life for each asset.
d) Investments in associated companies and joint ventures
Investments in associated companies and in joint ventures (companies where the Group has significant influence but has no control over the financial and operating decisions - usually corresponding to holdings between 20% and 50% in a company's share capital) are accounted for in accordance with the equity method.
According to the equity method, the investments in joint companies are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is adjusted proportionally to the Group's corresponding share capital, as at the acquisition date or as at the date of the first adoption of the equity method. On a yearly basis, investments are adjusted in accordance with the Group's participation in the associated company's net income. Additionally, the dividends of these companies are recorded as a reduction in the investment's book value and the Group's proportion in the changes occurred in the associated company's equity are recorded as a change in the Group's equity
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill, which is included in the caption "Investments in associated companies and joint ventures". If that difference is negative it is recorded as a gain in the caption "Gains and losses in associated companies and joint companies" after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.
An evaluation of investments held in associated companies and joint ventures is performed whenever there are signs of impairment in those investments. Impairment losses are recorded in the statement of profit or loss for the period. When those losses recorded in previous periods vanish, they are reverted in the statement of profit or losses for the period.
When the Group's share of losses of the associated company or joint venture exceeds the investment's book value, the investment is recorded at nil value, except to the extent of the Group's commitments to the associate or joint venture. In such case, the Group records a provision to cover those commitments.
Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associated companies and joint companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint against the investment held. Unrealised losses are eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.
Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are listed in Note 4.2.
e) Business combinations and Goodwill
The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries companies added the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the caption 'Goodwill', and, when negative, after a re-appreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit or loss statement. The differences between the price of investments in associated companies and in joint ventures and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the caption 'Investments in associated companies', and, when negative, after a re-appreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit or loss statement.
The excess of the cost of acquisition of investments in foreign companies over the fair value of their identifiable assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition is calculated using the local currency of each of those companies. Translation to the Group's currency (Euro) is made using the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences arising from this translation are recorded under the equity caption "Conversion reserves", include in the caption "Other reserves".
The Group opts, on a case-by-case basis for each business combination, to measure noncontrolling interests either at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, or at the fair value of the non-controlling interests themselves. Until 1 January 2010, noncontrolling interests were always measured at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.
Contingent consideration is recognized as a liability, at the acquisition-date, according to its fair value, and any changes to its value are recorded as a change in the 'Goodwill', but only if they occur during the 'measurement period' (until 12 months after the acquisitiondate) and as long as they relate to facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, otherwise these changes must be ecognized in profit or loss.
Transactions regarding the acquisition of additional interests in a subsidiary after control is obtained, or the partial disposal of an investment in a subsidiary while control is retained, are accounted for as equity transactions impacting the equity captions, and without giving rise to any additional 'Goodwill' and without any gain or loss recognized.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer measures its previously held equity interest in the acquired at its acquisition date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss.
The moment a sales transaction to generate a loss of control, should be derecognized assets and liabilities of the entity and any interest retained in the entity sold should be premeasured at fair value and any gain or loss calculated on the sale is recorded in results.
On an annual basis, the Group tests goodwill for impairment. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is computed based on their estimated value of use. This computation implies the use of assumptions based on estimates of future events which may occur differently from management's expectations at a given date. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed.
f) Lease contracts
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. The inception of the lease is the earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease. A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or series of payments the right to use an asset for an agreed period. The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset together with any further terms for which the lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset, with or without further payment, when at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option.
Classifying a lease as financial or as operational depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract.
Lease contracts are classified as (i) a finance lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership lie with the lessee and (ii) as an operating lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership do not lie with the lessee.
The analysis of transfers of risks and rewards of ownership of the asset considers several factors, including whether is contractually conditioned to assume ownership of the asset, the value of minimum future payments over the contract, the nature of the leased asset and the duration of the contract taking into consideration the possibility of renewal.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under financial lease contracts and the corresponding liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method. Under this method, the cost of the fixed assets and the corresponding liability are reflected in the balance sheet. In addition, interests included in the lease instalments and depreciation of the fixed assets, calculated as explained in Note 2.3.b), are recorded in the statement of profit or loss of the period to which they apply. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
The operational lease instalments on assets acquired under long-term rental contracts are recognized in full as expenses in the period to which they refer to.
g) Government grants
Government grants related with personnel training programmes or production support are recorded in the statement of profit or loss caption "Other income" when attributed, if the cost has already been incurred, independently of when they are received.
Government grants related to fixed assets are recorded as "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities" taking into consideration the expected timing of recognition in the profit or loss statement. These government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
Unconditional government grants related to biological assets are recognised in profit or loss when the government grant becomes receivable. Conditional government grants related to biological assets are recognized in profit or loss when the conditions attaching to the government Grant are met.
Government grants received in the form of loans are booked under the caption "Reimbursable government grants" as current or noncurrent liabilities according to the expected instalment dates.
h) Impairment of assets, except for goodwill
Assets are assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss under the caption "Provisions and impairment losses".
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value of use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction less the costs of the disposal. The value of use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when the Group concludes that the impairment losses previously recognized for the asset no longer exist or has decreased. The reversal is recorded in the statement of profit or loss as "Other income". However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to a reversal of an impairment loss is recognized to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation and amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for that asset in prior years.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the statement of profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred, in an accrual basis.
When the Company contracts loans to specifically finance capital assets, the corresponding interests are capitalized, being part of the cost of the asset. The capitalization of these interests starts after the beginning of the preparation of the activities of construction and ceases when the asset is ready for use or in case the project is suspended.
j) Inventories
Raw, subsidiary and consumable materials are stated at acquisition average cost, deducted from quantity discounts granted by suppliers, which is lower than its market value.
Finished and intermediate goods, sub-products and work in progress are stated at production cost, which includes the cost of raw materials, direct labour and production overheads, which is lower than market value. Therefore, harvested wood owned by the Group is valued at production cost, which includes the costs incurred with the cutting, gathering and transport of harvested wood, as well as the accumulated cost of plantations, maintenance and administrative expenses in proportion to the harvested area.
When necessary, the Group records impairment losses to reduce inventories to its net realisable or market value.
k) Biological assets
Part of Altri's activity consists in in the cultivation of several species of forestry, especially eucalyptus, which are basically used as raw material for pulp's production. At the end of the year, the plantations owned by the Group are classified in the caption "Biological assets". The forest lands owned by the Group are valued in accordance with accounting policy described in Note 2.3 b) and are classified in the caption "Property, plant and equipment" of the consolidated financial statements.
In 2017 the Group decided to subsequently measure its biological assets at fair value. The fair value was computed by an external and independent third party using a discounted cash flow method. This assessment was based on several assumptions related to the forest's productivity, the timber's sale price subtracted by the inherent chop costs, and plantation and maintenance costs, discounted at an estimated discount rate.
The effect of any change to the assumptions in the fair value computation is recognized as profit or loss.
The Group assesses biological assets as falling under level 2.
The cost of wood is transferred to production cost when the wood is harvested. The cost of wood harvested is determined based on the specific cost of each plantation attributed to each harvesting, which also includes the costs incurred on each plantation since the last harvesting.
l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of that obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the best estimate as of that date.
Restructuring provisions are recorded by the Group whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and has been communicated to the involved parties.
Dismantling and decommissioning provisions
The Group recognises dismantling and decommissioning provisions when a legal or contractual obligation is settled to dismantling and decommissioning those assets at the end of their useful life. Consequently, the Group has booked provisions related with renewables assets, for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation and are recognised as part of the initial cost or an adjustment to the cost of the respective asset, being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life.
Decommissioning and dismantling provisions are remeasured on an annual basis based on the best estimate of the settlement amount. The unwinding of the discount at each balance sheet date is charged to the income statement.
Environmental related disbursements are recognized as a loss when incurred unless they meet the definition of an asset in accordance with IFRS.
m) Post-employment benefit plans
Some Group companies have assumed commitments to provide pension complements to employees retiring due to age or disability. To cover these liabilities there have been created autonomous pension funds, which annual charges, computed in accordance with actuarial analysis, are recorded in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IAS 19 – "Employee benefits".
The impact of the measurement of the net responsibilities for defined benefit plans, including actuarial gains and losses and the return of the plan assets (where applicable) net of interest, is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income (in equity, in the caption "Retained earnings"), with no impact on the income statement. This measurement impact is not reclassified to the income statement in subsequent years.
The net interest is recognized in the income statement, as well as the cost of any past services is recognized in the income statement in the periods they are incurred.
Any insufficiency of coverage by the autonomous pension funds that happened in order of rendered services is recorded as a liability in the financial statements of the Group.
When the financial situation of autonomous pension funds is superior to past services' responsibilities, Altri records an asset in its financial statements because this difference corresponds to less appropriations' necessities for pension funds in the future.
These liabilities were calculated under the "Projected unit credit method" under the actuarial and financial assumptions deemed to be the most adequate (Note 29).
From May 2014, the Group companies started to grant these pension supplements through defined contribution plans (except for Celtejo, Caima Indústria and Altri Florestal in which both situations subsist). The Company's contribution is recognized in the profit or loss statement.
n) Financial instruments
The Group has adopted IFRS 9 and did not restate the comparative information regarding the year ended 31 December 2017, which remains prepared in accordance with IAS 39.
Accounting policy adopted in 2018 regarding financial assets and financial liabilities (IFRS 9)
Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of the financial position of the Group when it becomes a contracting party of the financial instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities (except for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through the income statement) are added or deducted to the fair value of the financial asset or liability, as the case may be, in the initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities recognised at fair value through the income statement are immediately recorded in the consolidated income statement.
Financial assets
All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the date the respective purchase and sale agreements are signed, regardless of the financial settlement date. All financial assets recognised are subsequently measured at amortised cost, or at fair value, depending on the business model adopted by the Group and the characteristics of its contractual cash flows.
Classification of financial assets
(i) Debt instruments and accounts receivable
The fixed income debt instruments and the accounts receivable that meet the following requirements are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
- the financial asset is held taking in consideration a business model whose purpose is to keep the asset in order to receive its contractual cash flows; and
- the contract terms of the financial asset give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows which are just payments of capital and interest over the outstanding principal amount.
The effective interest rate method is a method for calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and to allocate the respective interest during its term.
For financial assets which were not acquired or originated with impairment (i.e., impaired assets in the initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate which discounts exactly the estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that constitute an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) during the expected life of the instrument in its gross carrying amount on the date of its initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount by which it is measured in the initial recognition minus the repayments of capital, plus the accumulated amortisation, using the effective interest rate method, of any difference between that initial amount and the amount of its repayment, adjusted by potential impairment losses.
The revenue associated with interest is recorded in the consolidated income statement under the caption "Financial income", through the effective interest rate method, for financial assets subsequently recorded at amortised cost or at fair value through income statement. The interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
The debt instruments and the accounts receivable which meet the following requirements are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
- the financial asset is held taking in consideration a business model whose purpose allows both the receipt of its contractual cash flows and its disposal; and
- the contract terms of the financial asset give rise, on specific dates, to cash flows which are just payments of capital and interest over the outstanding principal amount.
(ii) Equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income
In the initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably choose (financial instrument to financial instrument) to designate certain investments in equity instruments (shares) at fair value through other comprehensive income when they satisfy the definition of equity predicted within IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. Classification is determined financial instrument to financial instrument.
The designation at fair value through other comprehensive income is not allowed if the investment is held for trading purposes or if it results from a contingent consideration recognised within the scope of a business combination.
An equity instrument is held for trading if:
- it is acquired essentially for purposes of short-term disposal;
- in the initial recognition, is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group jointly manages and in which there is evidence of a recent real pattern of short-term profit generation; and
- if it is a derivative financial instrument (unless it is assigned to a hedging operation).
The investments in equity instruments recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with the gains and losses resulting from its change recognised in other comprehensive income. At the moment of their disposal, the accumulated gain or loss generated by these financial instruments is not reclassified to the consolidated income statement but instead it is transferred to the heading of "Other reserves".
The dividends associated with investments in equity instruments are recorded in the consolidated income statement in the moment they are attributed / declared, unless they clearly represent a recovery of part of the investment cost. The dividends are recorded in the consolidated income statement under the heading "Financial income".
In the first application of IFRS 9, the Group designated the investments in equity instruments which were not kept for trading purposes as recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets which do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. These assets include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial recognition to be measured at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets which are required to be measured at fair value.
Financial assets recorded at fair value through income statement are measured at fair value determined at the end of each reporting period, being the respective gains or losses recognised in the consolidated income statement, unless they are assigned to a hedging relationship.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes expected impairment losses for debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as, for accounts receivable from customers, from other debtors and for contract assets.
The amount of expected impairment losses for the financial assets referred to above is updated on each reporting date in order to reflect the changes in the credit risk occurred since the initial recognition of the respective financial assets. The expected impairment losses for credit guaranteed (accounts receivable from customers and other debtors and contract assets) are estimated using an uncollectible matrix based on the credit history of the Group's debtors over the last years as well as by the forecasted macroeconomic conditions for the future.
The impairment loss is recorded considering the "expected credit losses" of those financial assets. The amount of expected impairment losses for the financial assets above referred is updated on each reporting date in order to reflect the changes in the credit risk occurred since the initial recognition of the respective financial assets. The impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Following the simplified approach, the Group recognizes expected impairment losses bases on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. Expected impairment losses are estimated using an impairment matrix based on historical information and on prospective information related with the debtors' credit risk, the macroeconomic conditions' expected evolution and on the assessment of the current and prospective applicable circumstances.
Expected credit losses measurement and recognition
The measurement of impairment losses reflects the estimated probability of default and the amount of the loss if that default occurs, as well as the Group's real exposure to that default. As prescribed by IFRS 9, the Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 60 days past due.
The assessment of the default and loss probabilities is based on historical information available, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
Regarding exposure to default for financial assets, the same is represented by the gross book value of the assets at each reporting date. For financial assets, the expected impairment loss is estimated based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
The Group records a gain or loss in the profit or loss statement related to financial instruments impairments, with the respective adjustments being booked under accumulated impairment losses in the statement of financial position.
Due to the strict credit control policy in place the uncollectible debts have been nearly nil.
Until 31 December 2017 the Group assessed its receivables' impairments based on incurred losses (IAS 39). Starting January 2018, the Group prospectively assesses the expected impairment losses following IFRS 9 prescriptions.
The model used to determine the impairment on accounts receivable is the following:
- Separation of the clients taking into consideration the revenue stream;
- Historical analysis of uncollectible balances and defaults;
- Segregation of open balances depending on the existence of credit insurance and documentary credits;
- For balances not covered by credit insurance, assessment of the historical uncollectible balances for the past 2 years;
- Adjusting the resulting rates with a forward-looking component based on expected market evolution projections;
- Applying those impairment rates to the trade receivables balances as of the reporting date.
From the analysis carried out, the Group concluded that the adoption of IFRS 9 does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
Additionally, the Group recorded impairment losses as a result of past events and based on a case by case analysis.
The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of impairment losses, which means they are booked at fair value.
For other financial assets, the Group assesses at each reporting date if there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition of the asset. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months. For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). The credit risk assessment is carried out in accordance with the criteria disclosed in the risk management policies disclosed.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group only derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the asset's cash flows expire or when it transfers the financial asset together with all substantial risks and rewards associated with the respective ownership to other entity. If the Group neither transfer, neither retain, substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of a financial asset but still carries on controlling that asset, the Group recognises its interest in the asset retained and a liability equivalent to the amount that it must return. If the Group substantially retains all risks and rewards associated with the ownership of a financial asset transferred, it continues to recognise it and recognises in addition a loan for the amount received.
In the derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost the difference between it carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
On the other hand, in the derecognition of a financial asset represented by an equity instrument recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the gain or loss accumulated in the revaluation reserve is reclassified to the consolidated income statement.
However, in the derecognition of a financial asset represented by an equity instrument irrevocably designated in the initial recognition as recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the gain or loss accumulated in the revaluation reserve is not reclassified to the consolidated income statement being instead transferred to the caption of "Other reserves".
(iv) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as financial liability or equity instrument
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified as liability or as equity instrument according to the contractual substance of the transaction.
Equity
The Group defines equity instruments as those where the underlying contract of the transaction evidences that the Group holds a residual interest in a set of assets after deduction of a set of liabilities.
The equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised by the amount received, net of the costs directly attributable to its issue.
The repurchase of equity instruments issued by the Group (own shares) is recorded at its acquisition cost as a deduction of equity. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of own shares are recorded under the heading "Other reserves and retained earnings".
Financial liabilities
Following the initial recognition, all financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, or at fair value through income statement.
Financial liabilities are recorded at fair value through profit or loss statement when
- the financial liability results from a contingent consideration arising from a business combination;
- when the liability is held for trading; or
- when the liability is designated for being recorded at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is classified as being held for trading if:
- it is acquired mainly for purposes of short-term disposal; or
- on the initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group jointly manages and in which there is evidence of a recent real pattern of short-term profit generation; or
- if it is a derivative financial instrument (unless it is designated as a hedging operation).
Financial liabilities recorded at fair value through the consolidated income statement are measured at fair value with the respective gains or losses resulting from its change being recognised in the consolidated income statement, unless they are assigned to hedging operations.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities which are not designated to be recorded at fair value through income statement are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate method is a method for calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and to allocate the respective interest during its term.
The effective interest rate is the rate which discounts exactly the estimated future cash flows (including fees and commissions paid or received that constitute an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) during the expected life of the financial instrument in its carrying amount at the date of its initial recognition.
Types of financial liabilities
Commercial paper issues are classified as non-current liabilities when they are guaranteed to be placed for more than a year, and the Group's Board of Directors intends to use that financing source also for more than a year.
Other financial liabilities refer essentially to factoring and financial leasing operations, which are initially recorded at fair value. These financial liabilities are, after their initial recognition, measured at the amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies
Only when the assets' cash flows contractual right has expired or when the risks and benefits inherent to those assets are transferred to a third entity the Group derecognises the financial assets of its financial statements. If the Group retains substantially the risks and benefits inherent to the property of such assets, the Group continues to recognize them in its financial statements, by recording in the caption "Other loans" the monetary counterparty for the transferred assets.
In consequence, the costumers' balances formed by non-outstanding discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies as of the balance sheet date, with exception of the non-appealing factoring operations are recognized in the Group's financial statements until the moment of their collection. At 31 December 2018, there were no non-appealing factoring operations.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognises financial liabilities solely when its obligations are settled, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised financial liability and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
When the Group exchanges with a given creditor a debt instrument by another with substantially different terms that exchange is recorded as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group records the substantial changes to the terms of an existing liability, or part thereof, as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
If the change is not substantial, the difference between: (i) the carrying amount of the liability prior to the change; and (ii) the present value of the future cash flows following the change is recognised in the consolidated income statement as a gain or loss of the change.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses a set of derivative financial instruments (forwards, swaps and options) to manage its exposure to the interest rate risk and to the exchange rate risk but never uses derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Derivatives classified as cash flow hedge instruments are used by the Group mainly to hedge interest rate fluctuation, exchange rate and to fix pulp price. The index, the computation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments are like the ones established for the underlying loans or other estimated cash flows and, therefore, are qualified as perfect hedging. The derivatives most used by the Group are the price indexations of pulp using future contracts.
Before 1 January 2018, the Group designated all the forward contracts as hedging instrument. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives were taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which were recognised in OCI and later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss.
From 1 January 2018, the Group designates only the spot element of forward contracts as hedging instrument. The forward element is recognised in other changes in equity and accumulated as a separate component of equity.
Derivatives contracted with the objective of hedging risk can be booked as hedging instruments if they meet the following criteria:
(i) At inception, the hedging relationship is clearly identified and formally documented, including the identification of the hedged
- item, the hedging instrument and the hedging effectiveness assessment;
- (ii) It is expected that the hedging relationship is highly effective at inception date and will be highly effective throughout its life; (iii)The hedging effectiveness can be reliably measured;
- (iv) For cash flow hedge instruments, the forecast transaction is highly probable.
Whenever Management deems necessary, taking into consideration the expected volatility of interest or exchange rates, the Group contracts hedging financial derivatives such as interest rate swaps (IRS), interest or exchange rate collars or exchange rate forwards.
When deciding on which hedging instruments to use, Management considers their characteristics taking into consideration the risks they aim to hedge. The implications of the inclusion of each additional instrument in the existing derivatives portfolio are also considered, in particular the effects in terms of volatility in the profit of loss.
The cash flow hedge instruments are recorded at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in assets or liabilities, against the corresponding entry under the equity caption "Hedging reserves" and transferred to the statement of profit or loss when the operation subjected to hedging affects the net profit for the period.
The determination of the fair value of these financial instruments is made with informatics systems of derivative instruments valuation and had, on its basis the actualization, for the balance sheet date, of the future fix and variable leg cash flows of the derivative instrument.
Hedge accounting of derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded and deferred in equity under the caption "Hedging reserves" are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.
When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics are not closely related to economic risks and characteristics of the host contract and when these are not stated at fair value with gains and losses not realisable are recorded in the profit or loss statement.
When derivative instruments, although specifically contracted to hedge financial risks, do not fulfil the requirements listed above to be classified and accounted as hedge instruments, the changes in fair value are directly recorded as financial results in the profit or loss statement.
If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in Other comprehensive income must remain in accumulated Other comprehensive income if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in accumulated Other comprehensive income must be accounted for depending on the nature of the underlying transaction as described above.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Accounting policy adopted in 2017 regarding financial assets and financial liabilities (IAS 39)
i) Investments
Investments held by the Group are divided into the following categories:
- Investments held to maturity, are classified as non-current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The investments classified as held to maturity are non-derivative assets with defined or determinable payment dates, have defined maturity and the Group has the intention and ability to maintain them until the maturity date.
- Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current assets. The purpose of these investments is to obtain short term profits.
- Investments available for sale are all the other investments that are not classified as held to maturity or measured at fair value through profit or loss, being classified as non-current assets.
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs if related with held to maturity and available for sale investments.
Investments available for sale and investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value by reference to the market value at the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred until its sale. Investments in equity instruments which are not listed on a stock exchange market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost net of impairment losses. Investments held to maturity are recorded at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of available for sale investments are recognised under the equity caption "Fair value reserve" included in caption "Other reserves", until the investment is sold or disposed, or until it is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss account for the period.
All purchases and sales of investments are recorded on its trade date, independently of the liquidation date.
Equity instruments classified as available for sale are impaired if there is a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value bellow its acquisition cost.
Held to maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate, net of capital reimbursements and interest income received.
ii) Accounts receivable
Trade receivables and other accounts receivable are stated at nominal value less impairment losses so that those receivables reflect its net realisable value. The current accounts receivable not include interests because discount's impact is not considered immaterial.
Impairment is recognised if there is objective and measurable evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred, the balance will not be fully received. Therefore, each group company takes into consideration market information which shows the client default in their responsibilities', as well as historic information on outstanding debts not received.
Recognized Impairment losses equals to the difference between the nominal value of the receivable balance and the correspondent present value of future estimated discounted cash-flows at the initial effective interest rate; when the payment is expected to occur in a period less than a year, the rate is considered null.
iii) Loans and other accounts payable
Loans and non-current payable accounts are recorded in liabilities by amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the statement of profit or loss on an accrual basis. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up-front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.
Assets and liabilities are compensated and presented for its net amount as long as there is the right for compulsory fulfilment of compensation and the Board of Directors intends to realise them on a net basis or realise the asset and simultaneously settle the liability.
iv) Accounts payable
Accounts payable are stated at their nominal value because they do not bear interests and the discount effect is immaterial.
The Group uses confirming facilities from some financial institutions, which are like reverse factoring agreements. The Group does not use these agreements to manage its liquidity needs because the invoices payment is done at maturity; at that date, the Group settles the amounts advanced by the financial institutions.
Consequently, and considering these agreements do not give rise to any financial expenses for the Group, the invoices which were paid in advance by the financial institutions remain booked under "Trade payables".
The liability is derecognized only when the underlying responsibilities are extinguished by settlements, are cancelled or expired.
v) Derivatives
Altri Group uses hedge derivatives for the management and hedging of its financial risks. The Group does not use derivatives for the purpose of trading.
Derivatives classified as cash flow hedge instruments are used by the Group mainly to hedge interest rate fluctuation, exchange rate and to fix pulp price. The index, the computation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments are like the ones established for the underlying loans or other estimated cash flows and, therefore, are qualified as perfect hedging. The derivatives most used by the Group are the price indexations of pulp using future contracts.
The criteria used by the Group to classify the Derivative instruments as cash flow hedging instruments are the following:
- the hedge is expected to be highly effective at its inception;
- the hedging effectiveness can be reliably measured;
- there is appropriate documentation regarding the transaction to be hedged at the inception of the hedge; and
- the forecast transaction is highly probable.
The cash flow hedge instruments are recorded at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in assets or liabilities, against the corresponding entry under the equity caption "Hedging reserves" and transferred to the statement of profit or loss when the operation subjected to hedging affects the net profit for the period.
The determination of the fair value of these financial instruments is made with informatics systems of derivative instruments valuation and had, on its basis the actualization, for the balance sheet date, of the future fix and variable leg cash flows of the derivative instrument.
Hedge accounting of derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded and deferred in equity under the caption "Hedging reserves" are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.
When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics are not closely related to economic risks and characteristics of the host contract and when these are not stated at fair value with gains and losses not realisable are recorded in the profit or loss statement.
When derivative instruments, although specifically contracted to hedge financial risks, do not fulfil the requirements listed above to be classified and accounted as hedge instruments, the changes in fair value are directly recorded as financial results in the profit or loss statement.
vi) Financial liabilities and Equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based upon its contractual substance. Equity instruments are those that represent a residual interest upon the Group's net assets and are recorded by the amount received, net of costs incurred with its issuance.
vii) Treasury shares
Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost as a deduction to equity captions. Gains or losses on its sale are recorded in the equity caption "Other reserves" not affecting the profit or loss statement for the period.
viii) Discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies
Only when the assets' cash flows contractual right has expired or when the risks and benefits inherent to those assets are transferred to a third entity the Group derecognises the financial assets of its financial statements. If the Group retains substantially the risks and benefits inherent to the property of such assets, the Group continues to recognize them in its financial statements, by recording in the caption "Other loans" the monetary counterparty for the transferred assets.
In consequence, the costumers' balances formed by non-outstanding discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies as of the balance sheet date, with exception of the non-appealing factoring operations are recognized in the Group's financial statements until the moment of their collection. At 31 December 2018, there were no non-appealing factoring operations
ix) Cash and banks
Cash and banks include cash on hand, cash at banks on demand and term deposits and other treasury applications which reach maturity within less than three months and that may be drawn without significant risk of change in value.
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, "Cash and banks" caption also includes bank overdrafts, which are included in the balance sheet caption "Bank loans".
o) Cash and banks
Cash and banks include cash on hand, cash at banks on demand and term deposits and other treasury applications which reach maturity within less than three months and that may be drawn without significant risk of change in value.
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, "Cash and banks" caption also includes bank overdrafts, which are included in the balance sheet caption "Bank loans".
p) Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent assets are possible assets arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed, or not, by uncertain future events not controlled by the Company.
Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but only disclosed when the existence of future economic benefits is likely.
Contingent liabilities are defined by the Company as (i) possible obligations that arise from past events and which existence will be confirmed, or not, by one or more occurrences of uncertain future events not controlled by the Company, or (ii) present obligations that arise from past events but that are not recorded because it is unlikely that an outflow of resources occurs to settle the obligation or the obligation amount cannot be reliably measured.
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, being disclosed, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case no disclosure is made.
q) Income tax
Income tax for the period is determined based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation and takes into consideration deferred taxation.
Current income tax is determined based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation, in accordance with tax regulations in force at the location of the head office of each Group company, considering the annual estimated income tax rate.
For some of the companies included in the consolidation of Altri Group by the full consolidation method, the income tax is determined in accordance with article 69 of the Corporate Income Tax Code ("Código do Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas"), under the special regime of taxation of groups of companies.
The Group recognizes the gain from investment tax incentives under the form of discounts to the collection in accordance to the criteria established in "IAS 12 - Income Tax" for recognition of gains with tax credits. Accordingly, the gain is recognized when the right to use the credit is obtained and a "deferred tax asset" is recognized if it is not possible to use all of those tax credits in the year and it is expected that, in the future, the company will generate sufficient results to allow its use.
Deferred taxes are computed using the balance sheet liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the correspondent amounts for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the tax rate that is expected to be in force at the time these temporary differences are reversed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured:
- According to the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date; and
- Reflecting the tax impacts which follow, and the Company expects, as at the date of the balance sheet, to recover or settle the carrying amount for its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are only recorded when there is reasonable expectation that enough taxable profits will arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each period the company reviews its recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets which are reduced whenever its realization ceases to be likely or recorded if it is likely that taxable profits will be generated in the future to enable its recovery.
Deferred taxes for temporary differences associated with investments in associates and interests in joint ventures are not recognised, as it is considered that the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled:
- The Group can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
- It is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the statement of profit or loss, except if they relate to items directly recorded in equity. In these cases, the corresponding deferred tax is recorded in the same equity captions.
r) Revenue
The Group adopted IFRS 15 in 2018. The comparative information was not restated, it is in accordance with IAS 18.
The revenue in 2018 started being measured according to the specific consideration established in the contracts entered with the customers and excludes any amount received on behalf of third parties. Thus, the Group started to recognise revenue when it transfers to the customer the control of a given good or service.
In the comparative period, revenue was measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable and was recognized namely when the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets sold were transferred to the purchaser.
The main business areas/ sources of revenue of the Group in the years of 2017 and 2018 can be detailed as follows: (i) Pulp – sales of pulp produced in one of the 3 plants of the Group;
(ii) Energy – electricity sale to the public electricity network.
Nature, performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition
(i) Pulp – the Group has agreements with several entities to deliver pulp according to predetermined characteristics (in particular the bleaching level); these agreements result in a single performance obligation which is fully met with the delivery of the pulp taking into consideration the agreed upon incoterms.
(ii) Energy – the Group injects power from its cogeneration plants into the national power grid. This also corresponds to a single performance obligation.
The Group recognizes revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The five steps are the following:
-
- Identify the contracts with customers;
-
- Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
-
- Determine the transaction price;
-
- Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and
-
- Recognise revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised net of discounts and taxes (such as commercial rebates and other quantity discounts) and reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer and in line with the main sources of revenue identified above.
Contracts with customers pertain to the sale of goods and, to a limited extension, to their transport whenever applicable. Revenue is recognised in the basis of the performance obligation satisfied.
The Group's contracts with customers do not include uncertain consideration nor significant financing components. Additionally, there is no history of contract modification or combination.
Contracts with customers in place do not include additional warranties. Generally, costs to obtain contracts with customers are internal as they are obtained by the commercial team of Altri Group.
The transaction price is fixed and dependent only on the quantities sold.
The transference of control occurs when the associate risks are transferred, considering the contractual conditions agreed upon. The control over goods is generally transferred when the goods are delivered in the customer's premises.
The Group considers the facts and circumstances when analysing the terms of each contract with customers, applying the requirements that determine the recognition and measurement of the revenue in a harmonised manner, when dealing with contracts with similar characteristics and under similar circumstances.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
Trade receivables
A receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
s) Accrual basis
All other income and expenses are recognized in the period to which they relate, independently of when the amounts are received or paid. Differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses are recorded in the captions "Other assets", "Other liabilities", "Other non-current assets" and "Other non-current liabilities".
t) Balances and transactions expressed in foreign currencies
All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies were translated to Euro using the exchange rates in force on the balance sheet date.
Favourable and unfavourable exchange differences arising from changes in the exchange rates between those prevailing on the dates of the transactions and those in force on the dates of payment, collection or as of the balance sheet date are recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except the ones related to non-monetary values which fair value variation be directly recorded in equity.
u) Subsequent events
Subsequent events that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date ("adjusting events") are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent events that provide information about conditions that have only arisen after the balance sheet date are considered "non-adjusting events" and are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, if material.
v) Segment information
In each period, the Company identifies the most adequate segment division taking into consideration the business areas in which the Group is present.
At the moment, Altri Group has only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached pulp from eucalyptus) for which the internal report of segmental information is analysed under this assumption.
w) Assets classified as held for sale or in discontinuation
The assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale or in discontinuation when their disposal is made not by its use but by its sale. The assets classified as held for sale or in discontinuation are valued at the lower of its accounting value at the date of the sale decision and its fair value deducted of their selling costs.
The Group classifies assets and liabilities in this caption when exists a high probability of its sale becomes effective and the assets and liabilities are available for immediate sale. The Board of Directors is committed in the sale of the assets and liabilities recorded in this caption, and it is their understanding that this sale will be completed in the next twelve months.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
(i) Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
(ii) It is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
(iii)It is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss.
2.4. Judgments and estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS, the Group's Board of Directors has adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported assets and liabilities and income and expenses incurred for the periods reported. All estimates and assumptions made by the Board were made based on your best knowledge existing at the date of approval of the financial statements, events and transactions in progress.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated income statements include:
a) Useful lives of the tangible and intangible fixed assets
The Group reviews the useful lives of its Property, plant and equipment and of its Intangible assets at each balance sheet date. The useful lives depend on several factors related with their use, the strategic decisions of the Group and with the economic environment of the subsidiary companies.
b) Impairment tests of goodwill, tangible and intangible assets, as well as financial investments
Impairment tests require the determination of the fair value and/ or the value in use of the underlying assets or cash generating units. These tests involve significant judgement, particularly in what concerns the future cash flows estimation and the computation of an appropriate discount rate for the calculation of the net present value.
The Group deemed appropriate the requirement to use the maximum quantity of directly or indirectly observable inputs that are significant for the computation of fair value. The Group has also defined monitoring procedures to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions used and of their coherence and consistence under similar circumstances.
c) Recognition of impairment on assets, namely inventory and accounts receivable
Impairment losses in accounts receivable are calculated as disclosed in Note 2.3. n). The case by case analysis involves the Group's judgement in the assessment of the economic and financial status of the third parties, as well in the determination of the guarantee value estimate, which impacts the future expected cash flows. On the other hand, the expected credit losses are computed taking into consideration historical information and assumptions, which may not represent the debtors' future capacity to settle their debts.
d) Post-employment benefit plans responsibility computation
The liabilities related with post-employment benefit plans are estimated based on actuarial assessments performed by external experts whom are certified by the Insurance Supervisory Authority. Those computations are based on a set of financial and actuarial assumptions, namely the discount rate, mortality table, disability, pension and salary growth, amongst others. These assumptions are the Group's Management best estimate as of the balance sheet date.
e) Fair value of derivatives
The valuation of the derivatives for which there is no active market has been based on valuation models using the cash flow method or multiples from market transactions. The fair value of the Group's contracted derivatives is determined by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed).
Management considers these experts to have the necessary expertise and objectivity.
f) Fair value of biological assets
In determining the fair value of biological assets, the Group used the net present value of estimated discounted future cash flows. These cash flows incorporate assumptions which underline the nature of the biological assets (Note 10). Changes in the assumptions used could imply changes in the fair value of the biological assets.
g) Provisions (including dismantling and decommissioning provisions)
The Group considers there are legal, contractual or constructive obligations in that concerns the dismantling and decommissioning of the fixed assets used in power production. The Group books provisions considering the net present value of the estimated cash outflows needed to return the land to its previous conditions.
If different assumptions were made in the computation of the provisions, the results would have been different than those presented.
Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of consolidated financial statements and are based on best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are neither controlled by the Group nor foreseeable, some could occur and have impact on the estimates. Changes to the estimates used by the management that occur after the date of these consolidated financial statements, will be recognised in net income, in accordance with IAS 8 – Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, using a prospective methodology.
2.5. Financial risk management
Altri's Group is exposed essentially to the: (i) market risk; (ii) liquidity risk and (iii) credit risk. The main objective of the Board of Directors, on what risk management concerns, is to reduce these risks to a level considered acceptable for the development of the Group activities. The guiding lines of the risk management policy are defined by Altri's Board of Directors, which determines the acceptable risk limits. The operational concretization of the risk management policy is made by the Board of Directors and by the management of each participated company.
a) Market risk
At this level of market risk, a particular importance is given to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, variability of the commodities' price risk and forest management and production of eucalyptus risk.
When considered necessary, the Group uses derivative instruments on the management of their market risks which is exposed as a way of ensuring its hedging and does not use derivative instruments with the objective of negotiation or speculation.
i) Interest rate risk
The exposure of the Group to interest rate results of the long-term loans constituted, mainly, by debt indexed to Euribor.
The Group uses derivative instruments or similar transactions for hedging interest rate considered significant. Three principles are used in the selection and determination of the hedging instruments of interest rate:
- For each derivative or hedging instrument used to protect the risk associated with a funding, there is coincidence between the dates of the flow of interests paid on loans to be hedged and the dates of liquidation under the hedging instruments;
- Perfect equivalence between the following rates: the indexing used in derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that applicable to the financing or transaction that is being hedged; and
- From the beginning of the transaction, the maximum cost of debt resulting from the hedging transaction undertaken, is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in interest rates market.
Considering the entire financial debt of Altri is indexed to floating rates, the Group uses interest rate swaps when it is deemed necessary as a mean of protection against changes in future cash flows associated with interest payments. The interest rate swaps agreed have the economic effect of converting the loans linked to variable rates to fixed rates. Under these contracts the Group agrees with other parties (banks) to exchange, in pre-determined periods of time, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed rate and variable rate contracted at that time, with reference to the respective amounts previously agreed.
The counterparts of the hedging instruments are limited to high credit quality financial institutions, since the Group policy priority is the hiring of these instruments with banks that are part of its financing operations. For purposes of determining the counterpart of specific operations, Altri requests proposals and indicative prices from a representative number of banks to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.
When determining the fair value of hedging transactions, the Group uses certain methods, such as valuation models of options and discounted future cash flows, as well as certain assumptions that are based on the interest rate market conditions prevailing at the date of the consolidated financial statement position. Quotes of comparative financial institutions, for specific instruments, are used as reference for evaluation.
The Board of Directors approves the terms and conditions of the relevant funding of the Group, analysing the structure of such debt, the risks and the different options available in the market, particularly regarding the type of interest rate (fixed / variable).
The Group's objective is to limit the cash-flows and results volatility according to its operational activity through the utilization of an adequate combination of fix and variable tax debt. The Group policy allows the use of interest rate derivatives in order to obtain a reduction of the exposure to Euribor variations and not to speculative purposes.
Most derivative instruments used by the Group in interest rate management are defined as cash-flow hedging instruments as these configure perfect hedging relations. The index, the computation conventions, the re-fixing dates of interest rates and the repayments plans of interest rate hedging instruments are similar to the ones established for the underlying loans. Nevertheless, there may be some derivative instruments which, although have been contracted with the hedging interest risk objective, do not match with the requirements above defined for the hedging instruments classification.
In the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017, the Group sensitivity to the change of the interest rate index of more or less 1 p.p., measured as variation on net financial losses, not considering the hedging effects of the Derivatives (Note 27), may be detailed as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest paid (Note 35) | 13,042,121 | 14,060,438 |
| Interest rate decrease by 1 p.p. | (6,900,000) | (5,800,000) |
| Interest rate increase by 1 p.p. | 6,900,000 | 5,800,000 |
The sensitivity analysis above was calculated based on the exposure to the interest rate existing as of the date of the statement of financial position. This analysis considered as a basic assumption that the structure of financing (remunerated assets and liabilities) has remained stable throughout the year, like that presented at the end of each financial year and keeping every other variable constant.
ii) Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk in transactions related with the finished goods sales in international markets with different currency from Euro.
Whenever the Board of Directors considers necessary to reduce the volatility of their results to the variability of exchange rates the exposition is managed trough forwards programs or other exchange rates derivatives.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017 the balances stated in a currency other than Euro are as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (USD) (SEK and GBP) |
(USD) | (SEK and GBP) | |||
| Accounts receivable | 32,435,933 | - | 33,790,986 | - | |
| Accounts payable | (1,611,931) | 121,876 | 393,195 | 164,914 | |
| Bank deposits (Note 17) | 6,387,473 | - | 32,431,626 | - | |
| Factoring (Note 20) | (12,360,794) | - | (7,725,955) | - | |
| 24,850,681 121,876 |
58,889,853 | 164,914 |
The Board of Directors considers that eventual changes in exchange rates do not have a significant effect in the consolidated financial statements, given the amount of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, and their maturity.
iii) Variability risk on commodities price
By developing its activity in a commodity transactional industry (pulp from eucalyptus), the Group is particularly exposed to its price fluctuations, with the correspondent impacts in their results. However, in order to manage this risk, pulp price fluctuations hedging contracts were celebrated by the adequate amounts by the foreseen operations, reducing the volatility of its results.
The increase/decrease of 5% in the pulp price commercialized by the Group during 2018 would have implied an increase/ decrease on operational results2 of, approximately, 32.2 million euro, without considering the effects of the pulp's derivatives (Note 27) and holding everything else constant.
iv) Risks of forest management and eucalyptus production
Altri, through its subsidiary Altri Florestal, intervenes in a forest area of about 83,000 acres (81,000 in 2017) where 81% are eucalyptus. The forest is certified by FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®1) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) entities that establish the principles and criteria for which is evaluated the sustainability of the forest's management in economic, environmental and social terms.
In this context, all forestry activity is directed towards the optimization of available resources while preserving the environmental stability and ecological values present in its assets and ensuring its development.
The risks associated with any forestry activity are also present in Altri Florestal management. Forest fires, pests and diseases that can occur in forests spread through the country are the biggest risks facing this sector. These threats, if they occur, depending on its intensity, affect the normal function of the forest's exploration and the production's efficiency.
To prevent and reduce the impact of forest fires, Altri Florestal participates, together with Navigator, in a company called Afocelca that has the goal of providing, coordinating and managing the resources available for firefighting. At the same time, are made large investments to clean forest areas in order to reduce the risk of spread of the fires as well as mitigate its losses.
Regarding pests and diseases, its emergence can significantly reduce the growth of the forest productivity causing irreversible damage. For combating these problems were established integrated fight procedures by releasing specific parasitoids from Australia or using phytopharmaceuticals products to control populations of insects and reduce the negative effects of its presence. On the other hand, in the areas more affected, Altri Florestal is using genetic material more suitable for new plantations which, by its characteristics, allow more resistance to these pests and diseases.
The increase/decrease of 5% in the wood price during 2018 would have implied an increase/decrease on operational results, approximately of 11.8 million euro, keeping everything else constant.

Operational results = profit before income tax + financial costs - gains and losses in associated companies and joint ventures
b) Liquidity risk
The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure, always, that the Group has the financial capacity to fulfil its commitments as they become due and to carry on its business activities and strategy through an adequate management of financial liability maturities.
The Group follows an active refinancing policy distinguished by the maintenance of high free and immediate available resources to face short term necessities and the extension or sustenance of the debt maturity in accordance with the predicted cash flows and the Balance leverage capability.
The liquidity analysis' for financial instruments is disclosed next to the respective note to each financial liability class.
c) Credit risk
The Group is exposed to the credit risk in its current operational activity. This risk is controlled trough a collecting information system of financial and qualitative information provided by recognized entities that supply information of risks, which allow the assessment of the clients' viability in the fulfilment of their obligations in order to reduce the credit concession risk.
The evaluation of credit risk is made on a regular basis, taking into consideration the current conditions of economic conjuncture and the specific situation of credit rating of each debtor, adopting corrective measures whenever necessary.
The risk credit is limited by the risk concentration management and a strict selection of counterparts as well as the contracting of credit insurances' to specialized institutions which ensure a significant part of the conceded credit in result of the activity developed by the Group.
Almost all sales that are not covered by credit insurance, are covered by bank guarantees or by documentary credits.
3. Changes in accounting policies and errors
In what respects to changes in accounting policies arising from the new IFRS applicable from 1 January 2018, refer to Note 2.1. No changes in accounting policies have taken place during the current period. Also, no errors have been identified related to previous years.

5. Changes in the consolidation perimeter
In the end of November 2018, following the approval by the non-compete authorities and the fulfilment of all other requirements, the Group acquired 50% of the share capital of Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. (previously named EDP Produção Bioeléctrica, S.A., which was held by Altri Group and EDP Group, each holding an interest of 50%) from EDP Group.
This acquisition resulted in Altri Group obtaining control of this previous joint venture. As prescribed by IFRS 3 – Business combinations, Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. (and its subsidiaries), have been consolidated from the acquisition date.
The companies acquired from EDP Group and their line of business is described in Note 4.1.
The impact of the acquisition in the consolidated financial statements of Altri Group can be detailed as follows:
| At acquisition date | Property, plant and equipment revaluation |
Licenses fair value | Fair value of assets acquired |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net assets acquired: | ||||

26,433,193 | |||
| 73,460,052 |
Share of profit of associates and joint ventures in 2018 pertains essentially to: (i) the equity method of EDP Bioelétrica da Foz (and its subsidiaries) until the acquisition date (Note 4.2); and (ii) the gain resulting from the remeasurement of the interest previously held.
The profit or loss statement of December 2018 of Bioelétrica da Foz and its subsidiaries has been included in the consolidation of Altri Group. The impact on the main consolidated figures is the following:
| 31-12-2018 | |
|---|---|
| Sales and services rendering | 4,421,648 |
| EBITDA (1) | 1,396,266 |
| Operational results | 697,360 |
| 6,515,275 |
(1) - earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization
Resulting from the purchase price allocation, the Group identified an intangible asset related to the exploration licenses of the plants held by Bioelétrica da Foz and its subsidiaries, excluding those for which impairment losses on fixed assets have been booked. The intangible asset is being amortised during the exploration period. No Goodwill has been identified.
Taking into consideration the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the fixed assets of Ródão plant, an independent valuation of those assets was carried out by an external party, resulting in an increase of 12 million Euro.
The gain resulting from the remeasurement of the previously held interest in Bioelétrica da Foz considered a control premium underlying the business combination.
At the date of presentation of these financial statements and taking into consideration that the acquisition of control only occurred by the end of November 2018, the purchase price allocation is still considered subject to review, as prescribed by IFRS 3. The purchase price allocation will be completed by the end of the twelfth month from the acquisition date, as permitted by IFRS 3.
If these subsidiaries had been consolidated since 1 January 2018, the Group's sales and operational results would have been greater in 46 million Euro and 9 million Euro, respectively.
During 2017 no changes occurred in the consolidation perimeter.

During the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017 depreciations amounted to 59,817,159 Euro and 53,408,287 Euro, respectively, and were recorded in the profit or loss statement in caption "Amortization and depreciation" (Note 36). The depreciations in 2018 include 4,210,557 Euro related to the extraordinary depreciation of Celtejo's equipment because they have been replaced under an investment project in place in that plant.
The 2018 additions were mainly made by the three industrial units and by the subsidiaries (acquired in 2018) and which produce energy through cogeneration process. In what concerns Celtejo – Empresa de Celulose do Tejo, S.A. the investment in progress is related to the increase of production capacity as well as the improvement in the production process. Sociedade Bioelétrica do Mondego, S.A. also has significant investment related mainly with the construction of the new biomass power plant Figueira da Foz.
The ongoing projects in both companies have been initiated in 2018 and will be completed during 2019. The 2018 disposals relate to assets which were mostly fully depreciated.

8. Goodwill
During the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017 there were no movements in goodwill:
| 265,531,404 | |
|---|---|
| Others | 12,140,153 |
| Celbi | 253,391,251 |
Goodwill is not amortized. Impairment tests are carried out on an annual basis and whenever an event or a change in circumstances that reveals that the amount for which the asset is recorded could not be recoverable. Whenever the amount by which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the highest between the net sale price and the value of use. During 2018 and 2017, there were no impairment losses.
During 2018, in order to assess the existence of impairment on the goodwill amount that resulted from the acquisition of Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A. in 2006, amounting to 253,391,251 Euro, the Group evaluated this subsidiary and concluded no impairment loss should be booked. That evaluation was based on Celbi's historical performance and an estimate of discounted cash flows based on a 7-year business plan (since it is the Board's understanding that this is the most appropriate period given the cyclical nature of the operations of the Group) considering the long-term price of pulp, not affected by the short-term variations.
The main assumptions used in 2018 and 2017 in this calculation were:
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Inflation rate | 1.00% | 1.00% |
| Discount rate | 7.15% | 7.27% |
| Perpetual growth rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |
The discount rate net of taxes (net of tax because the cash flow used in financial projections was also net of tax) used in 2018 was 7.15% (7,27% in 2017) and was calculated according to the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) method, considering the following assumptions:
| 2018 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.84% | 3.04% |
| Equity risk premium | 5.76% | 5.08% |
| Debt risk premium | 1.56% | 1.85% |
The Group carried out a sensitivity analysis of this evaluation to variations in key assumptions, having concluded that if a discount rate 1 p.p. higher had been used, together with a null perpetual growth rate, the conclusion of no impairment of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Celbi would remain valid. The Group also carried out a sensitivity analysis on the estimated market price of pulp in which it was reduced by 5 p.p., having concluded that even then no impairment should be recognized.
In order to assess the impairment of the remaining goodwill, amounting to 12,140,153 Euro, the Group compared the net cash flows generated annually by each company, as well as market multiples with their net contributions to the consolidated financial statements including goodwill and concluded that there no impairment loss should be accounted for.
9. Intangible assets
During 2018 and 2017, the movement in intangible assets, as well as in the corresponding accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, were as follows:

In 2018 and 2017 the depreciations amounted to 387,074 Euro and 283,886 Euro, respectively, and were recorded in the profit or loss statement caption "Amortization and depreciation" (Note 36).
Licenses refers to the fair value resulting from the acquisition of Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. and its subsidiaries (Note 5).
10. Inventories and biological assets
In 2017, following the implementation of a new forest management software, Altri Group changed the subsequent measurement criteria for its biological assets from historical cost less accumulated impairment losses to fair value. These assets' fair value has been computed by an external and independent party.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the amount recorded in the caption "Biological assets" relates to forest and to plantation charges incurred by the Group and can be detailed as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance | 95,146,891 | 102,302,637 |
| Change in fair value | 3,269,040 | (8,934,306) |
| Adjustments | (216,562) | 1,778,560 |
| Subtotal | 98,199,369 | 95,146,891 |
| Advance payments | 274,556 | 329,556 |
| Closing balance | 98,473,925 | 95,476,447 |
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the amount recorded can be detailed as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Eucalyptus | 92,774,806 | 89,782,373 |
| Pine tree | 2,534,302 | 2,483,155 |
| Oak tree | 2,890,261 | 2,881,363 |
| Total | 98,199,369 | 95,146,891 |
During 2018 the changes to eucalyptus, which is the Group's main biological asset, can be detailed as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | |
|---|---|
| Opening balance | 89,782,373 |
| Harvest | (11,575,764) |
| Growth | 12,189,155 |
| New plots | 2,379,042 |
| Closing balance | 92,774,806 |
The main operational considerations in the computation of the eucalyptus' fair value, which was performed on case by case basis (by property), were the following:
- Occupied area;
- Age of the plantations;
- Shelled wood production, based on the average yearly increase;
- Number of rotations.
The discount rate used for the computation regarding the fair value as at 31 December 2018 was 7.15%, which was calculated using the following assumptions:
| 31/12/2018 | |
|---|---|
| Risk free interest rate | 1.84% |
| Equity premium | 5.76% |
| Debt premium | 1.56% |
Altri Group performed a sensitivity analysis of the evaluation to the key assumptions. The conclusion was that if a higher/ lower discount rate in 1.5 p.p. had been used, the fair value of the assets would decrease/ increase 14.2 million Euro and 11.7 million Euro respectively.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the total area managed by Altri amounted to 83,000 hectares and 81,000 hectares, respectively. The eucalyptus' area had the following age distribution:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| 0-5 years | 25,567 | 24,965 |
| 6-10 years | 25,179 | 25,597 |
| > 10 years | 13,181 | 12,308 |
| 63,927 | 62,870 |
The remaining area pertains to others forest species with minor importance.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the caption "Inventories" could be detailed as follows:

The amount booked under "Stock regularisation" in the year ended 31 December 2017 pertains essentially to the forest fires that occurred in that year.
11. Current and deferred taxes
In accordance with current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a four-year period (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits, or tax inspections or claims are in progress, in which cases the periods may be extended or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns of Altri and its subsidiaries and associated companies for the years 2015 are still subject to review.
The Board of Directors of Altri believes that any potential corrections resulting from reviews/inspections of these tax returns by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the detail of deferred tax assets and liabilities, in accordance with the timing differences that originated them, was as follows:

The subsidiary Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi) applied, in 2016, the option to revaluate Property, plant and equipment and Investment properties, as foreseen in Law nº 66/2016 of 3rd November. Consequently, autonomous taxes of 14% over the value of the revaluation reserve are due, from which two thirds have already been paid in 2016 and 2017 and the rest to be paid in one additional instalment until 15 December 2018 (Note 15). Additionally, for tax purposes, the additional depreciations will be deducted from 2018 onwards in order to compute the taxable profit, and so a deferred tax asset of 21,600,000 Euro and 17,600,000 Euro have been booked in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The change in the amount booked is due to the different tax rate used in the computation of Celbi's deferred taxes, as mentioned below. This revaluation is only for tax purposes, there were no changes on the assets book value.
According to the legislation, the Group uses a deferred tax rate of 22.5% that results of the sum of the rate approved for 2018 and subsequent years which amounts to 21% plus the municipal surtax whose rate is 1.5%, except for deferred tax assets that result from tax losses carried forward, for which a rate of 21% is used and except in what concerns deferred taxes related to the subsidiary Celbi, which are computed using a 28% rate corresponding to the expected effective tax rate for this subsidiary (taking into account it is currently subject to a state surtax at a maximum rate of 9%).
Regarding the subsidiary Altri, SL based in Spain the rate used in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities is 25% since it is the tax rate approved to be in force in that country.
According to the Portuguese legislation for the year ended on 31 December 2018 and 2017 the income tax rate was 21%.
Additionally, according to the legislation, during the year ended on 31 December 2018, state surtax corresponds to the use of an additional tax of 3% on the portion of taxable income between 1.5 and 7.5 million Euro, of 5% on the portion of taxable income between 7.5 and 35 million Euro, and 9% on the portion of taxable income exceeding 35 million Euro.
On 31 December 2018, the Group assessed the recognition of deferred taxes resulting from tax losses. In cases that originated deferred tax assets, these were only recorded to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will arise in the future and they may be used to recover tax losses or deductible tax differences. On 31 December 2016, the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses are from Altri SL. Considering the changes in the Spanish income tax relating with goodwill depreciation for tax purposes, the deferred tax asset was totally reverted in the year ended 31 December 2017, taking into account the limitation of 10 years on the recovery period and the Group's expectation for this subsidiary future taxable profits.
It is the conviction of Altri's Board of Directors that the amount of deferred tax assets recorded on 31 December 2018 is fully recoverable.
In 2017 and 2018 no deferred tax assets arising from tax losses were recognised.
As of 31 December 2018, part of the tax losses carried forward were not recognised as deferred tax assets. The detail of that amount is the following:

In turn, Altri SGPS, held "Celbi 2017/2027" bonds as of 31 December 2017 in the amount of 5,100,000 Euro (6,100,000 Euro as of 31 December 2017), which means the Group's liabilities regarding this bond loan amounted to 34,900,000 Euro (33,900,000 Euro as of 31 December 2017).
During the year ended as of 31 December 2018, Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A. issued two new bond loans: on 20 April 2018 and 28 May 2018: each amounting to 50,000,000 Euro but with different maturities – 8 and 10 years – one at coupon rate of 2.98% and the other at a bearing an interest of 6 month Euribor plus a spread.

(iii) Factoring
The Group subscribed factoring contracts with two banks with one year of initial duration, according to which it may transfer accounts receivable up to 60,000,000 Euro, which are automatically renewed for equal periods if not terminated by one of the entities with at least 60 contractual days in advance. On the discounted amounts the Group will pay an interest rate equal to 3 months Euribor plus spread or 12 months Euribor plus spread (for contracts in Euro) or equal to Libor 3 months plus a spread (for contracts in USD). As of 31 December 2018, this facility amount used totalled 43,636,573 Euro (37,164,127 Euro as of 31 December 2017).
The Group believes that the risks and benefits associated to the accounts receivable were not transferred to the factoring entity, so they just remove the accounts receivable transferred to the factoring when the original debtor pays, in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.3 n) iii).
20.3. Reimbursable government grants:
In January 2014 Celbi signed a new contract for granting financial and fiscal incentives under Decree Law. 203/2003, of 10 September, with the Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade of Portugal, EPE (AICEP), and the project of modernization and expansion of the plant, was considered by the Portuguese State of strategic interest and relevance to the national economy. The investment project began on 19 August 2013 and ran until 30 June 2015 and the contract value amounted to 30,251 million Euro. The Portuguese State will grant a refundable financial incentive corresponding to 20% of the costs eligible if Celbi complies with the proposed objectives measured in the late 2016, 2017 and 2019 the Portuguese state still will grant an Achievement Award that corresponds to the non-repayment of up to 75% of the refundable incentive amount. The Portuguese Government granted a tax credit related to income tax up to 15% of the eligible costs.

In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these derivatives fulfil every requirement to be accounted as interest rate hedging instruments (Note 2.3 n)).
The fair value of the Group's contracted derivatives is determined by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative evaluation model, used by the counterparts is based on the discounted cash flows method, i.e., using the swaps par rates, listed in the interbank market and available at Reuters and Bloomberg, for the applicable periods where the forward rates and the discount factors used to discount the fixed cash flows (fix leg) and the variable cash-flows (variable leg) are computed. The sum of these two components results on the Net Present Value of the future cash flows or on the fair value of the derivatives.
(ii) Exchange rate derivatives
Altri uses exchange rate derivatives, mainly to hedge future cash flows. Thus, Altri, in the years of 2018 and 2017, engaged some exchange rate forwards of U.S. dollars to manage the risk of exchange rate to which it is exposed.
The Group acquired Asian style put options of the US dollar.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017 there were several derivative contracts in place, whose fair values can be detailed as follows:
| National USD/month | Fair Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maturity | 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | ||
| 10,000,000 | Cal2018 | - | 4,048,407 | |
| 12,000,000 | 1H2019 | (393,515) | 352,259 | |
| 16,000,000 | 2H2019 | (254,216) | 1,444,522 | |
| 7,000,000 | 1H2020 | 187,505 | - | |
| 3,000,000 | 2H2020 | 323,264 | - | |
| (136,962) | 5,845,188 |
(iii) Pulp price derivatives
In order to reduce the Group's exposure to the pulp price fluctuation, several hedging instruments contracts were signed. These contracts have been measured at their fair value as of 31 December 2018 and 2017 and booked under "Derivatives".
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the following pulp price hedging agreements were in place:
| Hedged quantity | 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning | Maturity | Asset Liability |
Liability | ||
| 4,800 ton/month | 01-01-2018 | 31-12-2018 | --- | --- | (1,248,850) |
| 2,500 ton/month | 01-01-2019 | 31-12-2019 | 98,873 | (1,273,814) | |
| 98,873 | (1,273,814) | (1,248,850) |
The fair value of the Group's contracted derivatives is determined by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative evaluation model, used by the counterparts is based on the discounted cash flows method, i.e., a calculation of the net present value of the difference between the estimate of the market pulp price (PIX) and the fixed price agreed for each maturity date.
In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these pulp price derivatives fulfil every requirement to be accounted as hedging instruments. Hence, their fair value is booked under "Hedging reserves".
The movement occurred in the fair value of the financial instruments during the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2017 can be detailed as follows:
| 2018 | Derivatives pulp price | Interest rate derivatives | Exchange rate derivatives |

29. Financial commitments not included in the consolidated statement of financial position
a) Pension funds
Some of the Group companies have assumed commitments related with retirement pensions not included in the consolidated statement of financial position, since these commitments are covered by autonomous pension funds as follows.
The Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund, managed by "BPI Pensões - Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Pensões, S.A." was created by a public deed held 31 December 1987, and aims to provide the employees who (i) at their normal retirement age or (ii) at the end of their contract with the company have completed at least 10 years of continuous service and 57 years old, with a monthly pension complement based on their average gross salary for the two years preceding the date of their retirement, beginning in the usual year of retirement. Following a decision of Caima's Board of Directors and after obtaining approval from "Instituto de Seguros de Portugal" (the Portuguese insurance institute), the Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund was divided into two independent funds in December 1998. During the year ended 31 December 2010, Caima and Altri Florestal transferred their shares of the collective fund that they had in BPI Pensões to Celtejo's plan. The transfer was requested to the Instituto de Seguros de Portugal, on 23 September 2010 and approved on 3 March 2011. In April 2011, the pension fund of Altri Florestal and Caima was incorporated in Tejo pension fund, named Pension Plan C.
The Tejo Pension Fund was created by Celtejo on 28 February 2005, to finance the pension plan under the Company Agreements. After the agreement reached in 2007 with the trade union, it was created a new Pension Fund applicable to all employees admitted since 1 September 2007, and to all other employees that clearly state to choose this new plan. Since then, Tejo Pension Fund is financing the three defined benefits pension plans described in a Regulation published in Service Order on 2002, and the benefits defined in the new Pension Plan, called Pension Plan B, as defined in Company Agreement published in BTE, number 32, on 29 August 2007. Since 2009, the Pension Plan B, started to include all the active workers of Celtejo, and the remaining Pension Funds, started to guarantee the responsibilities related to all ex-Workers, which had the right to receive the pension, according to the terms of termination agreement.
In May 2014, a new defined contribution Pension Plan was created as part of Tejo Pension Fund, designated as Pension Plan CD, applicable to all active workers of Celtejo, Caima and Altri Florestal. A choice was given to all employees admitted until 30 April 2014 to change to the Pension Plan CD if they renounced to the defined benefit pension plan, on the following terms: (a) Celtejo's workers still active as of 30 April 2014 could choose to change or not to the new plan; (b) for Caima and Altri Florestal, only workers in the company for more than ten years and with 57 years old or older were given this choice. The Tejo Pension Fund started to finance the responsibilities of five Pension Plans, four under the defined benefits scheme and the other one under the defined contribution scheme, whose contributions change according to Group's results and are attributable to each employee taking into consideration their wages and service time.
In 2014 Celbi changed to a defined contribution scheme. Celbi contributes to the Pension Fund, which varies annually depending on the results of the Altri Group, assigning each worker's permanent staff a percentage of their pensionable salary depending on the number of years of service. The annual contribution to the Pension Fund changes in line with the Group's profits and is recorded as losses of the year and the company has not responsibilities on future benefits related to the Pension Fund.
With the new contribution scheme, Celbi records the contributions made as loss of the exercise, avoiding future responsibilities for eventual future benefits.
According with the latest actuarial valuation prepared by the funds' managers, the present value of the past service liabilities with retired and current employees as of 31 December 2018 and 2017 as well as the funds' patrimonial situation were as follows:
| 2018 | Total | |||

38. Segmental information
On 16 April 2008, the Altri SGPS, S.A. spin-off public deed was signed. Under the terms of that project, the planned reorganization foresaw the split of Altri's two business units that manage equity holdings in the pulp and paper sector and in the steel and storage systems sector. This reorganization aimed a bigger focus and transparency on ALTRI's business and giving each of the areas an opportunity to be better seen and better evaluated by the market. This allows for the Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached pulp from eucalyptus, so the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analysed on this basis.
Sales and services rendered by the Group, according to the geographic segments, were as follows:
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|

42. Net profit allocation
With respect to the year 2017, the Board of Directors proposed in its annual report that the individual net profit of Altri SGPS, S.A. in the amount of 56,705,382.66 Euro was fully used to pay dividends. The Board of Directors also proposed that 4,834,118.94 Euro from "Other reserves and retained earnings" were distributed as dividends, corresponding to a total dividend of 0.30 Euro per share.
In what concerns 2018, the Board of Directors proposed in its annual report that the individual net profit of Altri SGPS, S.A. in the amount of 135,210,911.23 Euro was fully used to pay dividends. The Board of Directors also proposed that 12,483,892,84 Euro from "Other reserves and retained earnings" were distributed as dividends, corresponding to a total dividend of 0.72 Euro per share.
43. Environmental information
Following the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union committed herself to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, it has issued a Directive that predicts the commercialisation of carbon dioxide emission licenses. This directive was transposed to the Portuguese legislation and became mandatory since 1 January 2005, namely, for the pulp and paper industry.
Following the ministerial dispatch number 38/2013 dated 15 March 2013, the Portuguese government distributed to the companies the carbon dioxide emission licenses. The Group companies received a free license for the emission of 89,945 tons of carbon dioxide in 2016. If the Group exceeds that amount it must buy in the market the remaining licenses. The distribution of the carbon dioxide emission licenses is made in the beginning of the following year, being the emission amounts presented subject to a certification made by an independent entity.
Bearing in mind that these licenses refer to the period 2013-2020, in accordance with the estimates for the year 2012, the Group does not expect this legislation to carry significant additional costs for the year ended 31 December 2018.
As of 31 December 2018 and 2017, the Group has not recorded any liability concerning environmental issues, nor has disclosed any environmental contingency, since the Board of Directors believes that, as of that date, no obligations and responsibilities arising from past events have occurred that lead to significant costs to the Group.
44. Subsequent events
There were no significant subsequent events from 31 December 2018 until the date of approval of these financial statements.
45. Translation note
These consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS/IAS) as adopted by the European Union, some of which may not conform or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.
