Highlights of 2022

Altri Group achieves its best year ever during 2022 in terms of total revenues, EBITDA as well as pulp produced in several industrial units of the Group. Benefiting from a favourable evolution of pulp prices, total revenues reached € 1,066.2 M in 2022, a 34.4% increase vs 2021. During the 4Q22, Altri Group recorded total revenues of € 260.4 M, a 25.1% increase vs 4Q21.

Altri Group reached a record EBITDA of € 301.4 M in 2022, 32.4% above 2021. Despite the challenging environment of inflation in the costs, the Group managed to maintain a high level of profitability, reporting an EBITDA margin of 28.3% in 2022. In the 4Q22, EBITDA reached € 78.1 M, a 57.3% growth when compared to 4Q21 and an implicit margin of 30.0%.

Altri Group's Net Profit (continued operations) reached € 152.1 M in 2022, an increase of 23.0% when compared to 2021. In the 4Q22, the Group's Net Profit of continued operations reached € 34.7 M, an increase of 4.3% when compared to the 4Q21.

Altri Group ended 2022 with a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 1.1x, which implies a net debt level of € 325.8 M, which compares to € 344.0 M in the end of 2021.

During the first half of 2022, Altri Group distributed to its shareholders a cash dividend of € 0.24 per share and also a dividend in kind corresponding to 52,523,229 shares of Greenvolt (equivalent to € 1.74 per Altri share). This operation was extremely well received by the market and the shareholders.

Altri Group continues to improve its ESG rating levels with the increase of one level by MSCI agency to BBB. In parallel, it was maintained the classification of 'A-' in the fight against climate change in the CDP ranking, which places Altri Group above the European regional average in the sector.

Altri Group's commitment to a more sustainable future for the planet is present in its actions and results. In 2022, Altri Group achieved important milestones towards the ambitious goals set for 2030 with the United Nations. In line with the defined goals, the Group has already achieved a 24% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), the primary energy used in Altri's factories is already 93% renewable and 70% of the wood used is certified.

During 2022, the Altri Group has committed itself to analysing the Gama project, which implies the construction of an industrial unit for the production of soluble pulp and sustainable textile fibres from scratch, in Galicia. Altri Group has been actively working in the environmental impact study, engineering project, economic feasibility study, financing structure and access to European Union funds, with the aim of announcing a final investment decision during 2023.

Message from the CEO

The core business of Altri revolves around Fibre. Cellulosic fibre, which begins in forest management, is transformed at our industries using the best sustainable practices, stimulating the circular economy through its incorporation into a multitude of different products. But also the fibre we are made of, which represents our energy, the ability to make decisions and take firm positions. To this we add value: that which we generate through our products, and that which we cultivate daily among the more than 800 employees that make up our Altri Group.

It is with this aspiration that we face 2022. A year of continuous challenges, both at an operational level and in our ambition to do more and better. It was a year in which we faced constant cost pressure in all our inputs, especially raw materials, energy and chemicals, as well as significant changes in the markets we serve, with inflationary pressures resulting from a very hot economic cycle. Faced with all these challenges, the organisation knew how to find the best way to face and overcome them, reaching historic highs in both our operational and financial performance.

The year 2022 marked Altri Group as a year of strong growth, with significant advances in terms of sustainability and results, with a strong increase in revenue (+34.4%), exceeding for the first time the mark of 1,000 million Euro in turnover. Despite the difficult context, the year 2022 reinforced the operating results, with 301.4 million Euro at the EBITDA level (+32.4%), as well as the net profit (continued operations) which reached 152.1 million Euro.

During 2022, Altri Group distributed to its shareholders a cash dividend of € 0.24 per share and also a dividend in kind of 52,523,229 shares of Greenvolt (corresponding to € 1.74 per Altri share). This operation was extremely well received by the market and shareholders. Since 2015, Altri Group has distributed more than 81% of its market value in dividends. In parallel, in 2022 we invested 45.3 million Euro, including maintenance, environmental and growth projects. Despite this strong investment, Altri Group has a solid financial position, reducing our already low level of net debt (1.1x EBITDA), allowing us to maintain the financial flexibility to seize the future opportunities of the bioeconomy.

We remain fully committed to the evaluation of a new industrial unit for the production of sustainable textile fibres at Galicia, which includes the environmental impact study, the economic feasibility study, the engineering design, the financing structure and access to European Union funds. This is a structuring project for the industry both in terms of bioeconomy and circularity, and in terms of energy management, using cutting-edge technology. We intend, as we have already stated, to be able to announce the final investment decision during the current year.

Looking ahead to 2023, we face the future with a strong focus on our operational discipline and value creation, becoming more resilient and betting unequivocally on our purpose of building a more renewable world.

Dissolving Pulp (DP) has registered a slight decrease in global demand of 0.2% during the year of 2022, according to Numera Analytics (Global DP Demand Report – December 2022). These demand figures were seen after a slowdown in global demand in the textile industry during the second half of 2022. DP is targeted for textile use and used mainly in Asia, a region that absorbs more than 80% of demand. In geographical terms, China recorded a 0.2% decrease after positive figures during the first half of the year. In terms of DP prices, and in line with the demand, after a sharp rise until the first half of 2022, we have seen a correction during the second half of the year.

Altri Group

Operating performance

Total volume of pulp produced in 4Q22 achieved 290.4 thousand tons, 11.8% above the same quarter in the previous year. This performance was achieved despite the maintenance downtime in 4Q22 of Caima, Altri Group's mill responsible for producing dissolving pulp.

In terms of pulp sales, the volume reached approximately 244.6 thousand tons in 4Q22, 9.0% below the previous quarter. This decrease is due to some slowdown in demand, concentrated in the more cyclical end-use segments such as Printing & Writing (P&W) and Decór related to construction.

Operating indicators (Quarter)

In the year 2022, the total volume of pulp produced reached an all-time high by registering 1,142.6 thousand tons, 1.5% above the same period last year. In terms of pulp sales, it was recorded a decrease in comparison with the same period of the previous year of 4.0%, due to some slowdown in demand recorded in the last quarter, as commented above.

Economic and financial performance

During 4Q22, total revenues of Altri Group amounted to € 260.4 M, a 25.1% increase vs 4Q21, with this variation being explained by the positive evolution of pulp prices. Compared with 3Q22, the evolution in total revenues shows a decrease of 8.4%, this evolution being explained by a lower contribution from pulp revenues, as a consequence of lower sales volumes in the last quarter of the year (-10.7% vs 3Q22).

Despite a favourable environment for pulp prices in 2022, this was experienced in a highly inflationary environment of several variable costs. During 4Q22, we started to see a stabilization in the prices of the main variable costs. The more positive evolution of the margin in the last quarter in relation to the same period of the previous year, is essentially due to the negative effect of the regulated energy regime that had affected the accounts of Altri Group in 4Q21.

In 4Q22, EBITDA reached € 78.1 M, increasing 57.3% vs 4Q21 with an EBITDA margin of 30.0%, an increase of 6.1 p.p. when compared to the same period in the previous year and a decrease of 2.6 p.p. when compared to 3Q22.

The deterioration of the financial results in 4Q22 is explained by the negative evolution of exchange rate hedges, largely offset on the operational side, and by unfavourable exchange differences arising from the currency update of balances at the end of 2022. The net profit of continued operations of the Altri Group reached € 34.7 M, an increase of 4.3% compared to the 4Q21.

During the year 2022, total revenues of the Altri Group amounted to € 1,066.2 M, a 34.4% increase vs 2021. This growth essentially results from the positive evolution in pulp prices. EBITDA reached € 301.4 M in 2022, an increase of 32.4% vs 2021 with an EBITDA margin of 28.3%, a decrease of 0.4 p.p. when compared to the same period of the previous year. Despite the high inflation felt in the various costs during 2022, Altri Group managed to maintain practically the same level of profitability at the EBITDA level and even an improvement at the operating profit level. The net profit of continued operations of the Altri Group reached € 152.1 M in 2022, an increase of 23.0% compared with 2021.

Sustainability

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

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

Based on this strategy, the main sustainability objectives for the Group were identified, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and with the expectations of our stakeholders, resulting in the definition of the "2030 Commitment" of the Altri Group. Every quarter we see progress towards a more sustainable Group, of which we highlight the following initiatives in 4Q22:

• Altri Group continues to improve its ESG ratings, with the assignment of BBB rating by MSCI agency in 2022, an improvement of one level over the previous rating. The Altri Group maintained the rating A- in combating climate change in 2022, one of the statuses in the band 'Leadership' of the CDP agency ranking. This ranking is above the European regional average and described as a reference of best practice implementation;

• During 2022, the Altri Group continued to show a high commitment to a more sustainable future by managing to take important steps to meet the ambitious goals it set itself to achieve in 2030. Among the various objectives, we highlight i) reduction of GHG emissions

(scope 1 and 2) by 24% in 2022 vs 2020 (2030 Target: -51%); ii) use of primary energy in the pulp mills of the Altri Group from renewable sources by 93% during 2022 (2030 Target: 100%); iii) 28 women in leadership positions by the end of 2022 (2030 Target: 38 from 19 in 2018); iv) use of wood from certified sources increased to 70% in 2022 (2030 Target: 80% from 57% in 2018); v) 7 biodiversity stations by the end of 2022 (2030 Target: 15 from 2 in 2018);

• The Altri Group published the book "Shared Forest" in order to show that the importance of the forest to the Group goes far beyond an economic interest. There is a great involvement and sharing of forest areas with local communities from north to south of the country as well as a documented effort to preserve and enhance the various ecosystems existing in the forests under the Altri Group's management.

Perspectives

We believe that the global pulp market is currently in a normalisation process, after the last three more atypical years. Europe, showing a quite strong performance in 2022, showed some slowdown towards the end of the year and in early 2023, namely in the more cyclical end-use segments like Décor (construction) and P&W. We believe that the main reasons may be some economic slowdown and the destocking effect along the value chain of the pulp and paper industry with the normalization of global logistics. The demand in the Tissue segment, as end-use, maintains positive and solid levels of demand. China, after successive and prolonged periods of confinement, has eased restrictive measures during the last quarter of 2022. We believe that the reopening of the Chinese economy could have a relevant impact on global pulp demand starting in 2Q23. Hardwood pulp price (BHKP) in Europe maintained the level of US\$1,380 during January having corrected to levels close to US\$1,300/ton in early March 2023.

In terms of supply, and with further normalisation of global logistics, we believe that many of the global supply constraints of recent years, are overcome. As such, and following the decision of China's economic reopening towards the end of 2022, a positive reaction from the Chinese market can be expected, and may contribute to absorb much of the capacity of the new projects based in Latin America, whose production may start to reach the market during the second half of 2023.

After an extremely challenging 2022 trying to minimize the effect of a generalized inflation of variable costs, we started to see some price stabilization during 4Q22 and the beginning of 2023. The main drivers of this relevant increase in production cost per ton during 2022 were the evolution of natural gas and electricity prices, the price of chemicals and the cost of wood, the latter being partially related to the higher level of imports and evolution of the US\$. Additionally, in order to strengthen the energetic competitiveness of the Altri Group, we expect that the project initiated in 2022 for the installation of additional electricity generation capacity, through photovoltaic plants at the three pulp mills of Altri, will start operations in the coming months.

In what concerns the Gama project, in Galicia, the Altri Group continues to work with the goal of announcing the final investment decision. We continue to make progress on the main pillars for the decision making, namely the environmental impact study, engineering design, economic feasibility, financing structure and access to funds of the European Union. We remind that the Gama project stems from a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Impulsa, a public-private consortium from the Autonomous Community of Galicia, to study exclusively the construction of a greenfield industrial plant from scratch, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of soluble pulp and sustainable textile fibers.
