1. HIGHLIGHTS

1.1. COVID-19

The first quarter of 2020 was marked by the emergence of a global epidemic called COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. In Portugal, a state of emergency was declared, which was in force from the 19th of March to the 2nd of May 2020.

First of all, Altri's Board of Directors wants to formally address a special thanks to all its Employees, for the absolutely exemplary and noteworthy way in which they all endeavored to overcome this phase that we are going through.

Altri Group has been assessing and monitoring the pandemic's developments, in terms of the risk factors that in its understanding are relevant, and which may affect the business areas, whether in operational, investment or financial terms.

From all the actions implemented within the scope of the monitoring and evaluation of pandemic developments, we highlight the following:

  • Altri Group, from a very early stage, implemented a set of measures for the prevention, control and surveillance of this infection. As a result of the various measures implemented by the Group, on March 31, 2020, a negative impact on the income statement is estimated in the amount of approximately 250 thousand Euro (including personnel expenses, namely extra shifts and hours, as well as travel expenses, donations, protective equipment, expenses with hiring companies specialised in disinfecting spaces, among others).
  • Altri Group proceeded cautiously with an internal review and evaluation process on the investments it had planned for the 2020 financial year, reassessing the cost-benefit of these portfolio projects, as well as their feasibility, considering the current reality. From this review, it was decided to reschedule the understanding of some projects in the amount of approximately 9 million Euro.
  • With regard to liquidity risk management, the Group maintained a liquidity reserve in the form of credit lines with its relationship banks, in order to ensure the ability to meet its commitments, without having to refinance in unfavorable conditions. As of March 31, 2020, the amount of consolidated loans1 maturing in the next 12 months is approximately 128 million Euro. On the same date, the Group has consolidated credit

1 Consolidated loans: Bank loans + Other loans + Reimbursable government grants + Lease liabilities.

lines available (namely bank overdrafts, pledged current accounts and not used commercial paper programs) in the amount of approximately 85.1 million Euro. Additionally, the Group's cash and cash equivalents reach roughly 220 million Euro, representing approximately 80% of its current liabilities.

• Ensuring the permanent well-being of all Employees, their families and community, has always been and will continue to be a priority within Altri Group. Altri Group put in place a set of additional preventive measures to protect the health and safety of its Employees, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority to deal with the pandemic. The human resources department, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority, proceeded with the elaboration of a Group's COVID-19 Contingency Plan. This plan has been continuously adjusted considering the evolution of the pandemic, being essential for the purposes of containing the impacts of the pandemic between our employees and the local community. Altri Group hereby informs that, up to this date, it is unaware of any of its employees testing positive for COVID-19. Nevertheless, the Group is prepared for that contingency.

Within Altri Group, the three plants continue to produce fully, as well as the power plants. During this period, and until today, operations at all units that make up the Altri Group's business universe were carried out at the usual pace, with no disruptions.

1.2. Altri Group's Activity Summary

  • ✓ Pulp production amounts to 282.3 thousand tonnes
  • ✓ Exports amount to 114.5 million Euro
  • ✓ EBITDA of 33.1 million Euro

✓ Nominal remunerated net debt2 of 491 million Euro

During the first quarter of 2020, the Altri Group increased its pulp production by around 8% compared to the first quarter of 2019 (impacted by the annual maintenance stoppage at the Celbi industrial unit) and by about 6% compared to the last quarter of the previous year. Pulp sales followed the same trend, with growth of around 3% and 6%, respectively.

It should also be noted that the production of renewable electric energy through forest biomass, in the period under analysis, reached about 184.3 GWh, which corresponds to a 72% growth compared to the first quarter of 2019 and a growth of 10% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. This was essentially due to the entry into operation of the renewable energy production unit in Figueira da Foz.

The first quarter of 2020 was characterised by a market context that was closely linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, there was a strong demand from producers of tissue paper (raw material for the production of paper products for households' domestic use, hygiene and protection), however from the end of March onwards, demand from paper manufactures for printing and writing began to show some signs of slowing down.

5. SUSTAINABILITY

During the first quarter, Altri Group structured and refined the carbon footprint calculation, in order to improve its alignment with several frameworks and international benchmarks, such as the GHG Protocol, CDP Climate Change and the CEPI Framework for Carbon Footprints for Paper and Board Products. On the other hand, Altri has committed to calculate its emissions according to the Science Based Target Initiative (SBT) methodology, a platform that supports companies to establish emission reduction targets, in line with the Paris Agreement commitment, to limit the global warming below 1.5ºC.

At the same time, Altri Group continued its policy of efficient resource management, namely in reducing water and energy consumption per tonne of pulp produced. It should be noted that the consumption of water per tonne of pulp of the Altri Group (21 m3 /tpsa) is a reference value for the sector, whereas in the case of the Celbi industrial unit this consumption (16 m3 /tpsa) is a reference worldwide.

FOREST BIODIVERSITY

Altri Group has been investing in recent years, and will continue to invest in the future, through its subsidiary Altri Florestal, S.A., in the development of biodiversity valorisation and recovery initiatives (namely the AltriDiversity Program) in protected areas that are under its management.

This program plans to duplicate the conservation area within 10 years, producing and planting around 1 million native plants per year, expanding the network of biodiversity stations, preserving and restoring ecosystems of high safeguarding value and integrating other activities with economic, social and environmental value with forest management.

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE

Altri is strongly committed to integrating the sustainability agenda into its corporate finances. Therefore, through sustainable finance, Altri aims to invest in projects that improve its environmental performance, promote a clean and renewable energy production environment, and enhance an integrated pollution prevention and control, thus reinforcing Altri Group's sustainability commitment.

Based on these assumptions, in February 2019, Altri Group issued – through Sociedade Bioelétrica do Mondego – its first Green Bond, being the first Green Bonds' issuance to be admitted to trading in Portugal, on Euronext Access Lisbon.

In January this year, within the 2020 edition of the Euronext Lisbon Awards event, Altri Group saw this commitment and vanguardism recognised, being presented the "Finance for the Future" award.

6. PULP MARKET

According to data from the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report, February 2020, the cumulative total demand for the first two months of 2020 for hardwood pulp increased by 13.3% compared to the same period of 2019. In the last 12 months, the price of hardwood pulp has dropped by about 35%.

Geographically, it is verified that consumption of hardwood pulp in Europe (Western Europe and Eastern Europe) grew by 2.2% and the demand from China grew by 16.9%.

Recently, already during the second quarter of 2020, pulp producers announced their intention to increase the selling price in Europe by 30 USD/ton.

7. ALTRI – Business Profile

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

Currently, Altri manages around 83.5 thousand hectares of forest in Portugal, entirely certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) 4 and for the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest CertificationTM (PEFCTM), two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities.

Currently, Altri has three pulp mills in Portugal, with an installed capacity that in 2019 reached more than 1 million tonnes/year of eucalyptus pulp.

Altri's current organic structure can be represented as follows:

8. FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

Despite the measures already mentioned, and at this stage, characterised by a generalised uncertainty in the social and economic context, Altri Group will remain alert and careful in the management of its business, and in the evaluation and monitoring of the actions already implemented and/or to be implemented in order to manage and anticipate, as far as possible, the impacts of this pandemic on its operational and financial performance.

We are convinced that with prevention, serenity and joint efforts with all of our partners, namely, Customers, Suppliers, Employees and local Communities, we are ready to face this challenge.

The schedule for programmed maintenance stoppages is as follows:

  • Celbi: June 2020 10 days
  • Caima: fourth quarter of 2020 10 days

Following the continuous improvement and digital transformation processes that have been implemented, and taking into account the current degree of uncertainty, the Altri Group is deepening a series of projects aimed at reducing operating costs and reinforcing efficiency operating of its production units, as well as prudent execution of the revised investment plan for 2020.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Altri, SGPS, S.A. ('Altri' or 'the Company') is a public company incorporated on 1 March 2005, whose head office is located at Rua Manuel Pinto de Azevedo, 818, in Oporto, and its main activity involves managing shareholdings, while its shares are listed at Euronext Lisbon.

Altri is dedicated to managing shareholdings primarily in the industrial sector, as the parent company of the group of companies shown under Note 5 and referred to as the Altri Group. There is no other company above it that includes these consolidated financial statements. The Altri Group's current activities focus on producing bleached eucalyptus pulp at three production plants and on generating electricity via waste consumption and forest biomass.

Faced with this reality in the Altri Group, its Board of Directors considers there are two business segments, namely, production and commercialization of bleached eucalyptus pulp and electricity generation via waste consumption and forest biomass, being management information also prepared and examined on that basis (Note 16).

The Altri Group's condensed consolidated financial statements are shown in Euros, in amounts rounded off to the nearest Euro. This is the currency used by the Group in its transactions and, as such, is deemed to be the functional currency.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DO CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO

The condensed consolidated financial statements, for the period ended on 31 March 2020, were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and include the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, as well as, the selected explanatory notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required to be published on the annual financial statements, and should, therefore, be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Altri Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2019.

The accounting policies adopted for preparation of the attached condensed consolidated financial statements were consistently applied during the periods being compared.

The Board of Directors assessed the capacity of the Company, its subsidiaries and associates to operate on a going concern basis, based on the entire relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial or other nature, including events subsequent to the condensed consolidated financial statements' reference date, as available regarding the future. As a result of the assessment conducted, the Board of Directors concluded that it has adequate resources to keep up its operations, which it does not intend to cease in the short term. Therefore, it was considered appropriate to use the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The attached condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the accounting books and records of the company, its subsidiaries, and associates, adjusted in the consolidation process, in the assumption of going concern basis. When preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group used historical cost as its basis, modified, where applicable, via fair value measurement of i) biological assets measured at fair value, and ii) certain financial instruments, which are recorded at their fair value.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions and critical judgements in the process of determining accounting policies to be adopted by the Group, with significant impact on the book value of assets and liabilities, as well as on income and expenses for the period. Although these estimates are based on the best experience of the Board of Directors and on its best expectations regarding current and future events and actions, current and future results may differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas with significant assumptions and estimates are disclosed in Note 2.4 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2019.

DO CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO Demonstrações financeiras consolidadas condensadas e notas anexas 3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMPARABILITY OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS: COVID-19

The first quarter of 2020 was marked by the emergence of a global epidemic called COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. In Portugal, a state of emergency was declared, which was in force from the 19th of March to the 2nd of May 2020.

The Altri Group has been assessing and monitoring the pandemic's developments, in terms of the risk factors that in its understanding are relevant, and which may affect the business areas, whether in operational, investment or financial terms. If it becomes the Group's understanding that the current developments and conditions will eventually affect, in a definitive way, the business plans and

Demonstrações financeiras consolidadas condensadas e notas anexas

DO CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO medium and long-term projections used in the Altri Group's budget and strategic plan, they will be considered in the impairment analysis models in order to obtain their possible accounting impacts.

From all the actions implemented within the scope of the monitoring and evaluation of pandemic developments, we highlight the following:

  • The Altri Group, from a very early stage, implemented a set of measures for the prevention, control and surveillance of this infection. As a result of the various measures implemented by the Group, on March 31, 2020, a negative impact on the income statement is estimated in the amount of approximately 250 thousand Euro (including personnel expenses, namely extra shifts and hours, as well as travel expenses, donations, protective equipment, expenses with hiring companies specialised in disinfecting spaces, among others).
  • The Altri Group proceeded cautiously with an internal review and evaluation process on the investments it had planned for the 2020 financial year, reassessing the cost-benefit of these portfolio projects, as well as their feasibility, considering the current reality. From this review it was decided to reschedule the implementation of some projects in the amount of approximately 9 million Euro.
  • With regard to liquidity risk management, the Group maintained a liquidity reserve in the form of credit lines with its relationship banks, in order to ensure the ability to meet its commitments, without having to refinance in unfavorable conditions. As of March 31, 2020, the amount of consolidated loans1 maturing in the next 12 months is approximately 128 million Euro. On the same date, the Group has consolidated credit lines available (namely bank overdrafts, pledged current accounts and not used commercial paper programs) in the amount of approximately 85.1 million Euro. Additionally, the Group's 'Cash and cash equivalents' reach approximately 220 million Euro, representing approximately 80% of its current liabilities.

Within Altri Group, the three plants continue to produce fully, as well as the power plants. During this period, and until today, operations at all units that make up the Altri Group's business universe were carried out at the usual pace, with no disruptions. Given the operational activity of the Altri Group, the assessment and conclusions with reference to 31 December 2019, with respect to the hedging derivative instruments' accounting, remains valid at 31 March 2020.

It is worth mentioning that based on the results of the Altri Group, reinforced by the performance of its operating segments during the three months period ended 31 March 2020, and considering the information available up to this date, the conclusions in the preparation of the annual financial statements at 31 December 2019, regarding recoverability of the financial and non-financial assets, namely with regard to the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, remain unchanged. The sensitivity analyses were disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Nevertheless, circumstances of extended social and macroeconomic conditions with negative impact on the value chain could result in negative effects on the results of the Altri Group with a consequence on the recoverable value of its assets.

Despite the measures mentioned above, and at this stage, which is characterised by widespread uncertainty in the social and economic context, the Altri Group will remain attentive and careful in the management of its business, and in the evaluation and monitoring of the actions already implemented and / or to be implemented, in order to manage and anticipate, as far as possible, the impacts of this pandemic on its operational and financial performance.

With regard to short-term impacts, the following should be noted:

Pulp segment:

The first quarter of 2020, despite the pandemic, started positively in commercial terms, with regard to the demand for pulp, which is the raw material for tissue production. The high demand from Customers is explained by the increased consumption of paper products for domestic use, as well as

1 Consolidated loans: Bank loans + Other loans + Reimbursable government grants + Lease liabilities

DO CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO Demonstrações financeiras consolidadas condensadas e notas anexas for hygiene and protection use, also explained by the pandemic. In the second quarter, demand for tissue is expected to continue offsetting the drop in the graphic paper industry (printing and writing).

Stoppage of production facilities for maintenance purposes in the pulp industry were generally postponed to the second semestre. Several of these stops may coincide, which may imply a reduction in the supply of pulp in the market.

The production of tissue has been considered an essential activity and, as such, the raw material used in its production (paper pulp) was also considered an essential good. For this reason, the Altri Group maintains its activity as part of this supply chain.

Given the strong partnership with its Suppliers, no constraint in the supply chain and supply of raw materials has occurred up to this date.

In the beginning of the current financial year, the spread of COVID-19 did not allow the increase of the sales price, which was already being anticipated in the market at the end of 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, however, we noticed a stabilisation of the selling price of the BHKP pulp, recorded by the PIX in USD, in comparison to the values at 31 December 2019. At this date, there is an expectation in the market that the increase in the selling price will take place gradually over the course of the third and fourth quarters of the year.

The European Commission has implemented a "free transit" operation at borders and for this reason, up to this date, no constraints in the movement of products for export have occurred.

Despite the fact that the Altri Group maintained the credit insurance levels in its pulp sales, even under a pandemic situation, there has been no relevant difficulties in terms of collection up to this date. Additionally, there were no contractual defaults or changes to existing contracts with customers.

Energy segment:

Given the business model of this segment, up to this date, turnover has not been significantly impacted as a result of the pandemic, with all sales made to the public grid. Likewise, there hasn't been any relevant difficulties in terms of collection or in terms of other important operational issues.

Employees:

Ensuring the permanent well-being of all Employees, their families and the community has always been and will continue to be a priority of the Altri Group.

The Altri Group put in place a set of additional preventive measures to protect the health and safety of its Employees, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority to deal with the pandemic.

The human resources department, based on the recommendations of the Portuguese Health Authority, proceeded with the elaboration of a Group's COVID-19 Contingency Plan. This plan has been continuously adjusted considering the evolution of the pandemic, being essential for the purposes of containing the impacts of the pandemic between our employees and the local community.

Several measures have been implemented, namely:

  • Following the most recent recommendations of the Government and the national health authorities, which highlight the convenience of widespread use of masks in the community, the Altri Group has made the use of masks mandatory from the entry point in each subsidiary;
  • Still as a contingency measure in the fight against COVID-19, thermal cameras with thermographic technology were installed in the main entries of the subsidiaries Caima, Celbi and Celtejo;
  • PROTOCOL Altri COVID Free the Altri Group has been carrying a serological test to all Employees, a fast and effective way to screen for COVID-19;
  • Disinfection with hypochlorite This equipment is normally used against forest pests, having been adapted to protect the health of the Employees;

Demonstrações financeiras consolidadas condensadas e notas anexas

• In order to adopt more restrictive measures in terms of physical contact between Employees, during the declared state of emergency and until May 17, the collective transport of Employees by bus was suspended.

The Altri Group hereby informs that, up to this date, it is unaware of any of its employees testing positive for COVID-19. Nevertheless, the Group is prepared for that contingency.

Altri's Board of Directors wants to formally address a special thanks to all its Employees, for the absolutely exemplary and noteworthy way in which they all endeavored to overcome this phase that we are going through.

DO CONSELHO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO Demonstrações financeiras consolidadas condensadas e notas anexas 16. INFORMATION BY SEGMENTS

The Altri Group shows the following reportable segments:

i) Pulp

Comprising essentially the 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., located in Constância, and the forestry activity; and

ii) Energy

Consisting of Bioelétrica da Foz, S.A. and its subsidiaries, comprising five power plants generating energy from forest biomass, for sale to the public grid.

The Group identified these two reportable segments, considering that these are Group facilities that carry on business where revenues and expenses can be separately identified and relative to which separate financial information is produced. Compared to 31 December 2019, the Group revised its method of monitoring operations, not distinguishing the other segment from the pulp segment. The identification of the reportable segments made by the Group is consistent with the way the Board of Directors conducts and controls them, and on which it makes decisions.

The contribution of the business segments to the consolidated income statement for the three months period ended 31 March 2020 is as follows:

17. RELATED PARTIES

Altri Group subsidiary companies have relationships with each other that qualify as transactions with related parties, which were carried out at market prices.

In the consolidation procedures, transactions between companies included in the consolidation using the full consolidation method are eliminated, since the consolidated financial statements show information on the holder and its subsidiaries as if it were a single company, and so they are not disclosed under this note.

During the three months periods ended 31 March 2020 and 2019, there were no transactions with the Board of Directors, nor were they granted loans.

As at 31 March 2020 and 2019, balances and transactions with related entities during the three months periods ended on those dates can be summarised as follows:
