Highlights of 1Q22
Pulp Segment
Total revenues for Altri Group reached € 249.2 M during 1Q22, an increase of 46.5% vs 1Q21 and a sequential increase of 19.8% vs 4Q21, benefiting from the favorable pulp price environment.
The level of EBITDA in the 1Q22 increased by 85.6% to € 61.0 M vs 1Q21, which implies a margin improvement of 5.1 p.p. to 24.5%. On a sequential basis, EBITDA rose by 22.9%, an improvement in margin of 0.6 p.p. vs 4Q21. This performance shows the continuous search for efficiency improvement in the various plants of the Altri Group, in a challenging cost inflation environment.
Altri Group's Net Profit (Continued operations) reached € 29.8 M in 1Q22, an increase of 144.8% when compared to 1Q21.
The Net Debt of the Altri Group at the end of 1Q22 was € 303.3 M, which compares to € 344.0 M at the end of 2021. This evolution, once again, shows the strong cash flow generation capacity of the Altri Group, leading to a reduction in the Net Debt/EBITDA LTM ratio to 1.2x.
In April, the Altri Group announced the area of Palas de Rei, in the province of Lugo in the autonomous community of Galicia, as the location where it intends to build a greenfield industrial unit with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of dissolving pulp and sustainable textile fibers. After this important milestone, several steps can move forward at an accelerated pace to allow an investment decision by the end of 2022.
Since April, the Altri Group began to include environmental information in the invoices sent to its customers. By sharing values per ton of greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and renewable energy consumption, the Altri Group intends to increase transparency to customers and society, as well as to position itself in a higher level of continuous improvement in terms of sustainability.
Message from the CEO
Altri Group maintained a strong performance in the first three months of this year, continuing the work of excellence carried out in 2021. We presented a high level of production of cellulosic fibers, ultimately benefiting from the strong demand, but also from the continuing upward trend of prices in international markets.
The demand for cellulosic fibers continues to show a very positive dynamic, in most geographies, with the exception of China. There is a strong increase in the American continent, being particularly important the acceleration of demand in Western Europe.
This context, combined with low stocks, has led to successive price increases. The price reached 1,200 dollars per ton at the end of the first quarter, but since then, several updates totaling 100 dollars have been announced to the market. This result allowed the growth of our revenues as well as our EBITDA and net income.
This operational and financial performance, the result of the daily commitment of our people, but also of our partners, suppliers, and customers, becomes more relevant in the face of the adverse context we have faced, and will continue to face, of strong increases in the prices of energy and raw materials, especially chemicals and wood.
The inflationary pressures that are being felt are a reflection of the disruptions in the logistics chains that were already being felt last year, but are now exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a reprehensible act on all levels. And this is a reality that will be with us in the near future, requiring from all of us an increasingly prudent management.
The Altri Group is already an example in the efficiency of its operations, the result of constant investments that prove it is possible to achieve a balance between profitability and sustainability.
This is the right formula to make the Altri Group's business grow. And it is based on this careful analysis that we are progressing in the preparation of the Gama project in Galicia. In this sense, we recently took an important step by choosing Palas de Rei, in Lugo, as meeting the appropriate conditions for the location of the sustainable fiber complex. We are confident that we are taking the necessary steps to create the right conditions for a unique project for the production of sustainable cellulosic-based textile fibers.

Operational and Financial Performance
Pulp Segment
The global demand for Pulp showed an increase of 0.6% until February 2022, with the demand for Hardwood Pulp increasing by around 2.1% compared to the same period of 2021, according to the PPPC (World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report- February 2022).
Altri Group is essentially exposed to the Hardwood market, so when looking at the regional demand it should be noted that most geographical areas show a positive dynamic in early 2022. The main highlights are North America (+10.8%), Latin America (+3.7%) and Western Europe (+3.0%), which maintain the positive evolution already seen in 2021. China continues to show a decrease (-4.1%), being still affected by factors already identified in 2021 and which continue to restrict many of the economic relations with the Asian country, namely logistical factors (availability of ships and freight costs) and health factors (Zero Covid policy). Given the restrictions mentioned, exports of various types of paper from China to Europe are ultimately affected, strengthening the position of local paper producers and their suppliers of raw materials.

Pulp Global Demand by Region
Source: PPPC (World Chemical Market Pulp Global 100 Report- February 2022).
One of the important factors to confirm the balance of demand and supply of Pulp in the European market is the level of stocks in European Ports. We see that this level of stocks has continued to decline monthly since September 2021, and in March 2022 it is close to historic lows. The level of stocks recorded in March 2022 is the lowest level of the quarter, representing a 20% decrease when compared to the same period last year and about 29% below the average level of the last three years. These stock levels continue to show strong demand in the European pulp market.

At the end of 1Q22, the price of Pulp (BHKP) in Europe was at 1,200 USD/ton, after two consecutive increases of 30 USD/ton, announced for February and March. This rise in Pulp prices had been initiated in 4Q21 in China, contributing to the price differential between the two regions narrowing significantly. The strong demand for pulp that continues to be felt in the European market, combined with a very low level of stocks, has already led to two additional announcements of pulp price increases of 50 USD/ton for April and May.

Dissolving Pulp (DP), targeted for textile use and used mainly in Asia, started the year 2022 (until February) with a global demand increase of 1.6%, after a strong recovery of 14% in the year 2021, according to the Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), Global DP Demand Report - February 2022. DP prices have followed the general upward movement in pulp prices in 2022, continuing to perform very strongly.
Altri Group
Operational Performance
Total volume of Pulp produced in 1Q22 achieved 280.3 thousand tons, a level almost equal to the same period in the previous year. In terms of Pulp sales, the volume reached approximately 298.1 thousand tons in 1Q22, a slight decrease of 2.1% when compared to 1Q21. In relation to the previous quarter, the evolution of pulp production (+7.9%) and sales (+10.9%) has a more positive evolution, essentially due to Celbi's scheduled shutdown in the previous quarter (October 2021).

Economic and Financial Performance
As mentioned in the 2021 Earnings Announcement, Altri Group considers the activity of GreenVolt as a 'Discontinued Operation' in terms of reporting financial information. As such, and already since the last quarter of 2021, the financial information presented is essentially focused on the Pulp activity.
Total revenues of Altri Group amounted to around € 249.2 M during 1Q22, a 46.5% increase vs 1Q21, as a result of the favorable evolution of pulp prices during the last year. EBITDA reached € 61.0 M, +85.6% vs 1Q21 with an EBITDA margin of 24.5%, +5.1 p.p. when compared to the same period in the previous year. The net profit of the Altri Group, excluding GreenVolt, achieved € 29.8 M, a significant increase of 144.8% comparatively to the € 12.2 M recorded in 1Q21.

Investment
The total net investment made by the Altri Group during the first quarter of 2022 was € 6.8 M, which compares with the € 5.9 M in 1Q21.
Financial Net Debt
The Altri Group's Net Debt at the end of 1Q22 was € 303.3 M, a reduction from € 344.0 M at the end of 2021. This level of debt is equivalent to a Net Debt/EBITDA LTM ratio of 1.2x. The Total Net Debt level, when adding Lease Liabilities, was € 375.6 M at the end of 1Q22 vs € 417.1 M at the end of 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 would highlight the following initiatives in 1Q22:
• The Altri Group is a global pioneer in integrating environmental information in the invoices sent to its customers. The documents sent to customers now present information regarding i) emissions of greenhouse gases, ii) the use of water and iii) the consumption of renewable energy, per ton of cellulosic fiber produced. This information is audited by an independent external entity.
- EU taxonomy to meet the requirements of the regulation (EU) 2020/852. In compliance with legal requirements, and with reference to December 31, 2021, the Altri Group publicly disclosed in the Sustainability Report, information about the eligibility of its economic activities regarding climate objectives, materialized by the size of their weight in income (turnover), operating expenses (OpEx) and capital expenditures (CapEx).
- 2030 Commitment – Current status by the end of 2021. Altri Group achieves an excellent evolution of its environmental metrics, having accomplished more than 90% of the internally required goals at the end of 2021, in 10 of the 12 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) assumed with the United Nations. We include the table with the evolution mentioned in the annex.
Perspectives
Pulp demand in Europe in 2022 maintains the strong momentum seen at the beginning of the year, especially for printing and writing paper (P&W) as well as Tissue end use segments. Strong demand for Pulp coupled with low availability, visible by historically low stock levels at European ports, led to the announcement of two additional Pulp (BHKP) price increases, announced for April (US\$50) and May (US\$50), to US\$1,300/ton.
Supply continues to be influenced by global logistics constraints, to which were added, during the quarter, additional challenges arising from the conflict in Ukraine and consequent difficulties in several value chains. China's restrictive health policy (Zero Covid) continues to be an important factor influencing the dynamics of global logistics as well as domestic demand. Given this context, the various regional markets end up operating in a more isolated manner, with North America being the most dynamic of the current markets, followed by Europe, Latin America and Rest of Asia/Africa.
The inflation of variable costs in the sector, and also for Altri Group, is one of most serious challenges for 2022 to which the Group is trying to manage in the best way. The increase in costs such as natural gas, chemicals as well as a higher level of wood imports ends up leading to a relevant increase in production costs per ton. On the other hand, the change from regulated energy regime to market regime during the 1Q22 improved significantly the energy balance of the Group. If is our belief that these factors support the maintenance or even the possible increase of pulp prices.
The Gama project in Galicia continues to move forward at a high pace, now with the potential location announced in April. The sustainable fiber plant is to be located in the Palas de Rei area in the province of Lugo, Autonomous Community of Galicia in Spain. After this important milestone, we are moving on to the next steps that include the environmental impact study, the detailed engineering and economic feasibility project, as well as the definition of the financing structure. We remind you that the Gama project stems from a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Impulsa, a public-private consortium from the region of Galicia, to study exclusively the construction of a greenfield industrial plant with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of soluble pulp and sustainable textile fibers and for which a final investment decision is expected during the fourth quarter of 2022.

O Conselho de Administração The Chartered Accountant The Board of Directors
1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Altri, SGPS, S.A. ('Altri' or 'the Company') is a public company incorporated on 1 February 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 4 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 cellulosic fibres at three production plants.
In July 2021, the subsidiary GreenVolt was listed on the stock exchange as a result of the Initial Public Offering (IPO). As a result of this operation, Altri Group now owns 58.72% of Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. and its subsidiaries. The Altri Group carried out as well a study regarding the optimization of its shareholding in its subsidiary Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A., which, after analyzing the impacts and advantages of a full separation of the pulp and renewable energy businesses, concluded that such separation would be feasible as it would provide an adequate response to the optimized evolution of the companies concerned, adjusted to the underlying reality of their businesses and their growth perspectives. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, GreenVolt and its subsidiaries continue to be presented in this consolidated financial information as a Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders (Notes 5 and 7). The distribution of the shares to the shareholders took place on May 25, 2022 (Notes 19 and 20).
Faced with this reality, the Board of Directors considers, with reference to March 31, 2022, there is only one business segment, namely the production and commercialization of bleached eucalyptus pulp (Note 17).
The Altri Group's condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, in amounts rounded off to the nearest Euro. This is the currency used by the Group in its operations and, as such, is deemed to be the functional currency. The exchange rates used for the conversion of balances and transactions in currencies other than Euro to Euro were as follows:
| 31.03.2022 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing of the period | Average of the period included in the financial statements |
||||||
| Swiss Francs | 1.02694 | 1.03643 | |||||
| Sterling Pounds | 0.84593 | 0.83636 | |||||
| Polish Zloty | 4.65310 | 4.62435 |
2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements, for the three months periods ended on 31 March 2022, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Altri Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.
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, joint ventures 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, joint ventures 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 2021.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND COMPARABILITY OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the period, there were no changes in accounting policies. Likewise, no material errors were recognised in relation to previous financial years.
New accounting standards and their impact in these condensed consolidated financial statements:
Up to the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following accounting standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, mandatorily applied to the financial year beginning on 1 January 2022:
| Effective date (financial years begun on or after) |
|
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Annual Improvements to standards 2018-2020 |
01 Jan 2022 |
The adoption of these standards and interpretations had no relevant impact on the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments, and revisions were endorsed by the European Union and have mandatory application in future years:
| Effective date (financial years begun on or after) |
|
|---|---|
| IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts, including amendments to IFRS 17 (some of which not approved) |
01 Jan 2023 |
| Amendment to IAS 8: Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates |
01 Jan 2023 |
| Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and Statement of Practice IFRS 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies |
01 Jan 2023 |
The Group did not proceed with the early implementation of these amendments in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months period ended 31 March 2022 due to the fact that their application is not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected on the financial statements resulting from their adoption.
The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions were not endorsed by the European Union at the date of the approval of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore may not be applied in the European Union:
| Effective date (financial years begun on or after) |
|
|---|---|
| Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements - Classification of liabilities as current and non-current |
01 Jan 2023 |
| Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction |
01 Jan 2023 |
| Amendment to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts - Initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information |
01 Jan 2023 |
These standards have not yet been endorsed by the European Union and, as such, the Group did not proceed with the early adoption of any of these standards in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2022, as their application is not mandatory, and is in the process of examining the expected effects of these standards.

5. CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER
5.1 Restatement IFRS 5 - Discontinued operations
The condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2021 has been restated, in accordance with IFRS 5, as a result of the classification of Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. and its subsidiaries as a Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders (Note 7). Thus, the impacts on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the
period ended March 31, 2021 are related to the reclassification of its transactions to the caption "Profit after tax from discontinued operations".
As of March 31, 2021, the impacts of the restatement of the condensed consolidated statement of income are as follows:

5.2 Restatement IFRS 3 - Purchase Price Allocation
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 the Group, as a result of having more accurately ascertained information about the acquired assets, or having concluded valuation processes that were pending, as required by IFRS-EU, has restated the business combination processes.
In this context, the main impacts of the restatement made are detailed as follows:
(i) Purchase Price Allocation (Tilbury Green Power Holdings - acquisition date June 30, 2021)
As mentioned in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group proceeded with the process of allocating the price of Tilbury's acquisition price, being that, with reference to December 31, 2021, there were technical aspects under analysis, so the calculation of the Goodwill at that date was provisional (and may be changed depending on the conclusion of the valuation analysis).
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Group completed the fair value analysis of the intangibles acquired in the aforementioned business combination, having recorded the process of allocation of the acquisition price of Tilbury in a definitive basis (the difference between the price paid and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed was
allocated to Goodwill). The conclusion of this process led to the following impacts on the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021:
- an increase in the caption "Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders" in the amount of 2,716,538 Euros (through a decrease in Goodwill from discontinued activities in the amount of 9,825,916 Euros and an increase in intangible assets from discontinued activities in the amount of 12,542,454 Euros); and
- an increase in the caption "Liabilities directly associated with the group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders" in the amount of 3,081,539 Euros (through an increase in deferred tax liabilities from discontinued activities in the amount of 3,081,539 Euros).
The restatement of the consolidated financial statements was made with reference to June 30, 2021, the acquisition date of the entity, and therefore were also restated:
- the "Profit after tax from discontinued operations" as of December 31, 2021, which decreased by 360,109 Euros (through an increase in amortization for the year associated with revalued intangible assets from discontinued activities and a reduction in income tax for the period from discontinued activities, reflecting the tax impact of the increase in amortization);
- the caption "Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity related to group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders" as of December 31, 2021, which decreased in the amount of 1,465 Euros in the component allocated to the shareholders of the Parent Company, related to the impact in currency translation reserves; and
- the caption "Non-controlling interests" as of December 31, 2021, which decreased by 255,692 Euros (of which 252,265 Euros are the impact that occurred under the caption "Profit after tax from discontinued operations" and 3,427 Euros are the impact on currency translation reserves).
(ii) Allocation of the acquisition price (Perfecta Energía - acquisition date October 25, 2021)
The recognition of deferred tax assets, resulting from the purchase price allocation process of Perfecta Energía, led to the following impacts on the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021:
- an increase in the item "Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders" in the amount of 331,251 Euros (through a decrease in Goodwill from discontinued activities in the amount of 241,749 Euros and an increase in deferred tax assets from discontinued operations in the amount of 573,000 Euros); and
- an increase in the caption "Non-controlling interests", in the amount of 331,251 Euros, taking into consideration that such non-controlling interests were measured at the acquisition date by their share of the value of the net assets acquired.
As at the date of presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value allocation exercise of Perfecta Energía is in progress in accordance with IFRS 3, having been allocated to Goodwill from discontinued activities the difference resulting from the acquisition (price paid vs. value of assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed), in the amount of 8,789,921 Euros (restated provisional value). The purchase price allocation process will be concluded within the period up to twelve months counting from the acquisition date, as permitted by IFRS 3, that is, until 25 October 2022.
The impacts of the restatement on the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

6. CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, there were no changes in the consolidation perimeter of the continued operations compared to December 31, 2021. Regarding discontinued activities, the changes occurred in the perimeter are indicated in note 7.3.
7. DISCONTINUED ACTIVITIES
7.1 Background
In July 2021, the subsidiary GreenVolt was listed on the stock exchange as a result of the Initial Public Offering (IPO). As a result of this operation, Altri Group now owns 58.72% of Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. and its subsidiaries. The Altri Group carried out as well a study regarding the optimization of its shareholding in its subsidiary Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A., which, after analyzing the impacts and advantages of a full separation of the pulp and renewable energy businesses, concluded that such separation would be feasible as it would provide an adequate response to the optimized evolution of the companies concerned, adjusted to the underlying reality
of their businesses and their growth perspectives. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, GreenVolt and its subsidiaries continue to be presented in this consolidated financial information as a Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders (Notes 1 and 5). The distribution of the shares to the shareholders took place on May 25, 2022 (Notes 19 and 20).
During 2021, Altri Group, through the subsidiary GreenVolt, began a growth strategy based not only on biomass, but also dedicated to the development of wind and photovoltaic energy projects and decentralized electricity generation. During the first quarter of 2022, the subsidiary GreenVolt pursued its growth strategy, mainly through the following operations of the discontinued activities:
- Incorporation, on January 4, 2022, of Sustainable Energy One, in Spain, in which GreenVolt holds a 98.75% stake, for the development of small-scale solar projects, with a very fast time to market. Through this company, the Group signed a co-development agreement with Green Mind Ventures;
- Acquisition of resources from Oak Creek Energy Systems ("Oak Creek"), through the company incorporated in the United States V-Ridium Oak Creek Renewables (part of V-Ridium Group), which is 80% held by the Group. Oak Creek is dedicated to the promotion and development of renewable energy projects in the United States and Mexico. This operation was concluded on January 10, 2022;
- Co-development agreement for solar photovoltaic projects in Portugal established with Infraventus, a reference promoter in the Portuguese market, with a pipeline of 243 MW. This operation was concluded on March 9, 2022, through the acquisition of 50% of the share capital of six companies;
- Conclusion of the acquisition of a 35% stake in the German company MaxSolar BidCo GmbH (MaxSolar), a leading company in the development, implementation and management of solar photovoltaic and energy storage projects in the German and Austrian markets. The completion of this transaction occurred on March 31, 2022;
- Creation of Perfecta Industrial, a new business unit of distributed generation of renewable energy, focused on the commercial and industrial segment in the Spanish market.
7.2 Perimeter of the discontinued activities
The subsidiary companies classified as held for distribution to shareholders, their head offices, effective percentage of interest and main activity developed at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

(a) Company acquired/incorporated in the first quarter of 2022
7.3 Changes occurred in the perimeter of the discontinued activities
During the first quarter of 2022, the most significant change in the perimeter of discontinued activities was the acquisition of Oak Creek Group. The acquisition of 80% of Oak Creek, through the company incorporated in the United States V-Ridium Oak Creek Renewables (part of V-Ridium Group), was concluded on January 10, 2022. The acquisition value, at that date, amounted to approximately 1.3 million US dollars, plus a contingent amount of approximately 6.7 million US dollars (corresponding to the fair value of the maximum contingent consideration, with the present value of the estimated future payments taking into consideration management's best estimate of the payment term, as well as the probability of conclusion of the projects that are in progress at the acquisition date), which is expected to be paid in full by the end of the year ended December 31, 2030, depending on the future sale of the projects to be developed by the subsidiary.
The acquisition of Oak Creek will allow the subsidiary GreenVolt to enter the market for the promotion and development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects (solar photovoltaic and wind), in the United States and Mexico, relying on a very experienced team with a vast track record in the development of energy projects in those markets.
As at the date of presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value allocation exercise is ongoing in accordance with IFRS 3, having been allocated to Goodwill of discontinued activities the difference resulting from the acquisition (price paid vs. value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed). The purchase price allocation process is ongoing, and it is expected to be concluded until December 31, 2022.
In this context, a provisional Goodwill of discontinued activities of 3,903,350 Euros was calculated regarding this acquisition, based on the expected capacity to generate projects and their sale by the management team in place.
7.4 Amounts recognized in the financial statements
In accordance with IFRS 5, all the activites of Greenvolt - Energias Renováveis, S.A. and its subsidiaries were presented under "Profit after tax from discontinued activities" in the consolidated income statement for the period of three months ended March 31, 2022, with the information for the period of three months ended March 31, 2021 having been restated (Note 5.1).
At March 31, 2022, the results from discontinued operations are as follows:
| 31.03.2022 | |
|---|---|
| Sales | 37,437,002 |
| Services rendered | 5,786,663 |
| Other income | 386,026 |
| Costs of sales | (5,504,820) |
| External supplies and services | (11,196,071) |
| Payroll expenses | (4,735,586) |

| Provisions and impairment losses | (48,530) |
| Other expenses | (210,145) |
| Results related to investments | (168,851) |

| Income tax | (3,923,608) |
| Energy sector extraordinary contribution (CESE) | (951,000) |
Earnings after taxes and CESE of discontinued operations 12,497,749
It is the Group's expectation that transactions between continuing operations and discontinued operations, namely sales of biomass and operation and maintenance services, will continue after distribution, which is why the income and expenses in the discontinued activities line have been eliminated. It is the Group's understanding that this disclosure best represents the activity of continuing operations after distribution. The amount of income from transactions between continuing and discontinued operations is approximately 13.0 million Euros at March 31, 2022 and 12.1 million Euros at March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, the main assets and liabilities of the discontinued activities present the following detail:
| 31.03.2022 | |
|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment | 385,317,660 |
| Goodwill | 116,673,310 |
| Intangible assets | 146,488,519 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 238,075,005 |

| Other loans | (247,744,443) |
| Other net liabilities | (82,327,232) |
| Total net assets | 389,491,314 |
| Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders | 1,103,033,805 |
| Liabilities directly associated with the group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders |
(713,542,491) |
| Total recognised in the statement of financial position | 389,491,314 |
| Hedging reserve | (11,026,505) |
| Comprehensive income of joint ventures and associates | (183,301) |
| Exchange rate reserve | (516,701) |
| Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity related to group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders |
(11,726,507) |
Additionally, it should also be mentioned that the discontinued activities did not have any impact on the consolidated cash flow statement, since the transfer to discontinued activities occurred with reference to December 31, 2021.
7.5 Subsequent events of discontinued activities
During 2022, the subsidiary GreenVolt carried out the following operations:
- On April 5, 2022, GreenVolt launched Energia Unida (EU), a distributed generation company dedicated to collective self-consumption through the concept of energy communities;
- On April 21, 2022, GreenVolt completed the acquisition of 50% of Univergy Autoconsumo, a Spanish distributed generation company that operates in the commercial and industrial market segment, for the price of 13.5 million Euro;
- GreenVolt, through its existing partnership with KGAL, has entered into five long-term renewable energy supply agreements (PPA - Power Purchase Agreement) with T-Mobile Polska, one of the largest Polish telecom operators;
- GreenVolt, through subsidiaries of the V-Ridium group, has acquired a solar photovoltaic plant in Romania (LIONS);
- GreenVolt, through its subsidiary V-Ridium, has acquired a project for the development of a wind farm in Iceland.

9. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
According to current Portuguese legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the Portuguese tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits granted, or when inspections, complaints or challenges are in progress, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are extended or suspended. Thus, the Group's tax returns since 2018 may still be subject to review.
The Group's Board of Directors considers that any corrections resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities to those tax returns will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2022.
10. SHARE CAPITAL
As at 31 March 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Company's share capital was fully subscribed and paid up, consisting of 205,131,672 shares with a nominal value of 12.5 cents of Euro each.

17. INFORMATION BY SEGMENTS
As mentioned in Notes 1 and 7, GreenVolt and its subsidiaries are presented in this consolidated condensed financial information as a Group of assets classified as held for distribution to shareholders, since December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the operations referred to above, the planned reorganization will have as its objective the separation of Altri's two autonomous business units corresponding to the exercise of the management of investments in the paper pulp sector and in the electric energy production sector, respectively. This reorganization was part of a rationale of focus and transparency of Altri's business, aimed at giving each of the areas greater visibility and perception of value by the market, and allowed the Altri Group to concentrate its activity on its core business, the production of bleached pulp from eucalyptus. Therefore, with reference to March 31, 2022, the Board of Directors considers that there is only one segment that can be reported, namely the production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus, and the management information is also prepared and analysed on this basis.
18. 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 2022 and 2021, there were no transactions with the Board of Directors, nor were they granted loans.
18.1 Related parties from continued activities

The caption 'Shareholder loans' includes a loan obtained from a shareholder of one of Altri's subsidiaries classified as a discontinued activity, Lakeside Topco Limited. This loan bears interest at
a rate of 7% and the payment date of the loan is due on 31 March 2054. Thus, the totality of the nominal value of the loan was classified as non-current. The corresponding interest is also recorded under the same caption.
It is worth noting that as of March 31, 2021, there were no balances or transactions with related parties from discontinued activities.
19. APPROPRIATION OF NET PROFIT
Regarding the 2021 financial year, the Board of Directors proposed in its annual report that the individual net profit of Altri, SGPS, S.A. in the amount of 88,065,822 Euros, should be allocated as follows:
| Dividends | EUR 51,282,918 |
|---|---|
| Free reserves | EUR 36,782,904 |
The Board of Directors proposed to the General Meeting in its annual report the distribution, under the conditions presented in the respective proposal, which was approved in the General Meeting held on 29 April 2022, of a cash dividend corresponding to 25 cents per share. The same proposal also contemplated the distribution of a dividend in kind, consisting of a maximum number of 52,523,229 shares representing GreenVolt's share capital and voting rights. If in this scenario of joint distribution, i.e. in cash and in kind (the latter, as referred to in Notes 1 and 7) the amount to be distributed exceeded the amount of distributable funds, the portion of the dividend in cash would be reduced by the amount corresponding to the excess, rounded down (to a minimum of 0.01 Euros per share).
On May 25, 2022, and according to the previously announced conditions, the amount of the dividend in cash was reduced by the amount corresponding to the surplus, rounded off by default, as the distributable funds corresponding to the distribution in kind exceeded the amount of 112,748,942 Euros, as approved by the General Meeting.
Accordingly, a total cash dividend of 49,231,601 Euros (0.24 Euros per share) was distributed and 48,118,446 GreenVolt shares (Note 20) were distributed.
20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Gama project in Galicia continues to move forward at a high pace, with the potential location having been announced in April. The sustainable fibre plant is to be located in the Palas de Rei area in the province of Lugo, Autonomous Community of Galicia in Spain. The next expected steps include the environmental impact study, the detailed engineering and economic feasibility project, as well as the definition of the financing structure. It should be reminded that the Gama project stems from a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Impulsa, a public-private consortium from the region of Galicia, to study exclusively the construction of a greenfield industrial plant with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of soluble pulp and sustainable textile fibers and for which a final investment decision is expected during the fourth quarter of 2022.
As mentioned in note 19, on May 25, 2022, and in accordance with the conditions previously announced, the distribution of 48,118,446 shares representing the share capital of GreenVolt took
place, following which the Altri Group now holds 19.08% of GreenVolt, with a total of 23,154,783 shares.
Regarding the war in Ukraine, notwithstanding the terrible devastation caused by its invasion by the Russian Federation, it is also important to note the very present challenge that is being overcome, namely in terms of the generalized inflation of variable costs and which the Group continues to try to manage in the best way possible. The war in Ukraine and the sanctions decreed on Russia by a number of Western countries should contribute to a worsening of logistical constraints and general inflation of production factors and of some variable costs.
Subsequent events that occurred in the group through the subsidiary GreenVolt are shown in note 7.5.
From 31 March 2022 to the date of issue of this report, there were no other relevant facts that could materially affect the financial position and future results of the Altri Group, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates included in the consolidation.
21. APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
