The Group's performance in Q3 2023

Revenues and profitability

Economic growth, while still positive, slowed down in the main European countries during the quarter, impacted by tighter financing conditions and a lower level of exports than in previous quarters. Despite this, the labour market continued to show great strength, as evidenced by the EU unemployment rate, which reached a record low of 5.9% in August, with several countries registering levels below 3%, such as Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

From the perspective of cost pressures, price moderation continues at the aggregate level. However, this reduction is not linear. Some countries are showing some volatility in their inflation levels, affected by the increases in energy prices during the summer months. On the other hand, food costs have left behind the peaks set at the beginning of the year and price reduction is continuing, albeit unevenly across different products. In this regard, the materialisation of adverse weather conditions is affecting production forecasts for some products, especially sugar derivatives.

In addition to this challenging macroeconomic environment, geopolitical risks are still very present. However, leisure, catering and tourism services performed well during the summer months, and AmRest's commercial dynamics stood out once again, confirming the strength of its business model based on service excellence, the attractive value for money proposition of its products, in addition to logistics and technology capabilities that result in high levels of efficiency.

AmRest's quarterly sales continue to grow strongly at double digit levels with further advances in the number of transactions. During the third quarter of the year, revenues amounted to EUR 632.8 million.

Revenues generated by AmRest during the third quarter of the year, at EUR 632.8 million, represent organic growth of 11.6% on a comparable basis to the same period of 2022. As in previous quarters, sales growth was driven by further progress in the number of transactions, which increased by 3%, and active revenue management including price increases. Like-for-like sales (SSS) growth was 8.8%.

By service type, the strongest gains were recorded in the coffee and QSR segments, with casual dining showing the lowest level of growth affected by the negative evolution of the Chinese currency.

Digital sales continued to make progress and set a new record in the third quarter of the year. Likewise, all distribution channels again recorded higher levels of activity. Dine in sales showed the highest level of growth, followed by take away and drive through, with delivery being the only channel that did not achieve double-digit growth.

AmRest Group revenue for the 3 months ended 30 September 2019-2023*

*percentage change excluding Russia business

EBITDA generated in the third quarter amounted to EUR 110.9 million. The EBITDA margin increased to 17.5%, the highest level in the last two years. Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 52.9 million, representing a margin of 8.4%.

The incipient moderation in the cost of supplies and energy, together with advances in efficiency and higher sales, enabled the EBITDA generated during the third quarter of the year to reach EUR 110.9 million, a growth of 16.5% compared to 2022. This positive progression is practically generalised in all geographies. The EBITDA margin stood at 17.5%, the highest level since the global supply problems began and inflationary pressures around the world began to rise.

In addition, the operating profit (EBIT) reached EUR 52.9 million, 36.2% more than in the previous year, and representing an EBIT margin of 8.4%.

AmRest Group EBIT for the 3 months ended 30 September 2019-2023*

Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company stood at EUR 50.7 million accumulated up to the end of the third quarter compared to a loss of EUR -1.3 million in the same period of 2022.

The AmRest Group's net profit stood at EUR 28.9 million in the third quarter of the year, practically repeating the results generated by continuing operations in the same period of 2022 when they reached EUR 29.4 million. There was a significant increase in the Group's financial costs despite the reduction in debt levels.

Finally, the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company amounted to EUR 27.1 million in the third quarter of the year.

Total number of restaurants increases by 20 units to 2 143 outlets.

AmRest closed the third quarter with a portfolio of 2 143 restaurants after opening 24 units and closing 4 during the quarter. For the full year, openings amounted to 53 while closures reached 38 units.

CAPEX in the quarter increased to EUR 43.5 million, compared to EUR 33.9 million in the same period of 2022. In addition to restaurant openings, investments are being dedicated to the modernisation of a record number of outlets and continued progress in digitalisation processes.

The Group continues to expect to open more restaurants this year than in 2022, when amounted to 109 units, and intends to continue with the portfolio optimisation strategy in order to make further progress in the efficient allocation of capital.

The improvement in operating results makes it possible to combine increased investment with further progress in strengthening the balance sheet. The leverage ratio was reduced to 1.8x.

AmRest closed the third quarter of the year with a further increase in shareholders' equity to EUR 402.3 million, after increasing by EUR 71.1 million during the year thanks to the accumulation of profit from continued operations, as well as the positive effect generated by the sale of the Russian business.

The cash position stood at EUR 182.0 million at the end of the quarter after a reduction of EUR 72.8 million. Likewise, financial debt has been repaid in a similar amount, with a practically neutral effect from the perspective of net debt, which is slightly reduced by EUR 1.6 million, to EUR 379.3 million at the end of the quarter. This situation, together with the Group's higher EBITDA generation, once again led to a reduction in the leverage ratio, which stood at 1.8x at the end of the quarter compared to 1.9x in the previous quarter.

This situation allows comfortably meeting the financial covenants that establish a leverage ratio lower than 3.5x and an interest coverage ratio of more than 3.5x. At the end of the third quarter, the Group's leverage ratio (net financial debt/ EBITDA pre IFRS16) stood at 1.8x and interest coverage of debt at 6.0x. AmRest believes that the financial position presented provides adequate capacity to meet potential challenges and opportunities that may arise.

Revenues and profitability by segments

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)

Revenues in the region reached EUR 354.1 million in the quarter, an increase of 17.4% compared to the same period in 2022, representing 56% of the total Group's revenues. Revenues in all of AmRest's main markets in the region grew by double digits, where once again the excellent performance of the commercial dynamics in Hungary stood out, with revenues growing by over 30%.

EBITDA generated in the quarter amounted to EUR 78.9 million, after increasing by 26.6% compared to Q3 2022, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 22.3%. Once again, the improvement in margins is generalised in all the main markets, which now have EBITDA margins above 20%.

AmRest closed the quarter with a portfolio of 1 138 restaurants in the region after the opening of 11 units and the closure of one. This brings to 22 new restaurants opened and 11 closed for the year.

Western Europe (WE)

Revenues in the region grew at a rate of 7.7% to EUR 230.9 million in the third quarter. The strongest gains were achieved in Germany where revenues increased by 20.6%. On the other hand, France continues to show the most modest growth rate with an increase of 3.7%.

In terms of profitability, EBITDA stood at EUR 34.2 million, 23.1% higher than in the same quarter of 2022. This figure represents an EBITDA margin of 14.8%, 1.8 percentage points higher than a year ago. The improvement in margins is once again generalised, although the levels reached in Germany and Spain stand out.

The number of restaurants in the region reached 915 at the end of the third quarter, when 9 units were opened and 2 closed. This implies 20 new openings this year and the closure of 25, of which 17 were concentrated in France.

China

The intensity of economic growth in China is slowing down and failing to meet expectations following the reopening of the economy after the Covid period. This situation is affecting consumer confidence and is having a major effect on the depreciation of the Renminbi against the Euro.

Revenues in the region stood at EUR 25.6 million, a decline of 4.3% compared to Q3 2022, influenced by the depreciation of the Renminbi against the Euro. In constant Euros, sales recorded a remarkable growth of 9.5% due to the increase in transactions. The commercial positioning of AmRest's business in China, both due to its geographic presence concentrated in the fastest growing urban centres and the attractive value-for-money proposition offered, continues to provide an interesting opportunity for growth.

EBITDA generated in the region amounted to EUR 5.6 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 22.0%, which is 6.9 percentage points lower than in the same period of 2022.

The number of restaurants in the region reached 90 after the opening of 4 units and the closure of 1. The cumulative annual number of openings stands at 11 with only one closure.

Alternative Performance Measures (APM) description

APM are metrics used by the company to describe operational or financial performance taking into account some key information or constituent and adjusting them based on the purpose of such measure. AmRest identifies the following Alternative Performance Measures in the Director's Report:

  1. Like-for-like or Same Store Sales ("LFL" or "SSS") – represents revenue growth from comparable restaurants (restaurants that have been operating for a period of longer than 12 months). The measure shows the ability of a restaurant or a brand to increase its sales organically, It can be totalled the most accurately by taking the last twelve months core revenue growth minus the last twelve months net equity openings growth.

    1. EBITDA One of Key Performance Indicators for the Group. It is a close indicator of the cash profitability on operations and consists of profit from operations excluding amortisation and depreciation costs as well as impairments. Reconciliation of the measure is provided in tables 4 or 5.
    1. Adjusted EBITDA Measures profitability performance without startup costs (operating costs incurred by the Group to open a restaurant but before a restaurant starts generating revenue), indirect tax adjustments, M&A related expenses (all material expenses connected with successful acquisitions, covering all professional services, legal, financial, and other directly connected with a transaction) and effect of Stock Option Plan (SOP) exercise method modification (difference in the accounting costs of employee benefits accounted for under the cash settled versus equity settled option plan). It allows to present profitability for restaurants that already generate revenue and without some unusual costs related to M&A, tax adjustments or accounting adjustments related to SOP, Reconciliation of this APM is provided in tables 4 or 5.
    1. Net debt measures the level of external financing provided for the business as a sum of balance sheet positions of loans and borrowings, including financial lease liabilities pre-IFRS 16, net of available cash and cash equivalents, and guarantees.
    1. Leverage ratio measures the level of EBITDA calculated according to the financing agreements with the banks to net debt. It is a generally accepted level that shows indebtedness of a company relative to its ability to generate cash and profits from operations.

Share Buy-back Program

On 4 July 2023 AmRest informed that the Company's Board of Directors had resolved unanimously to set-up a buy-back program for the repurchase of its own shares (the "Buy-back Program"), pursuant to the authorisation granted by resolution of the AmRest General Meeting of Shareholders held on 12 May 2022 under item nine of the agenda, relating to the authorisation to the Board of Directors for the derivative acquisition of AmRest shares.

The Buy-back Program had been conducted in accordance with the transparency and operational requirements under Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016 (the "Delegated Regulation 2016/1052") and had the following features:

  • Purpose of the Buy-back Program: to cover the settlements of the remuneration plans currently in force for AmRest Group executives and employees.

  • Maximum investment: the Buy-back Program was to have a maximum monetary amount of EUR 6.3 million. The maximum monetary amount of the Buy-back Program could be reduced by the amount applied by the Company, during its term, to the acquisition of its own shares in the block market or outside the market for the same purpose, which would be notified to the market in the periodic communications of other relevant information informing of the transactions carried out under the Buy-back Program or separately.

  • Maximum number of shares: the maximum number of shares to be acquired in the execution of the Buy-back Program was to be dependent on the average price at which purchases took place but could not exceed 10% of the Company's share capital.

  • Price and volume: the acquisition of the shares was to be carried out in accordance with the price and volume conditions set out in article 3 of Delegated Regulation 2016/1052. Specifically:

• AmRest could not acquire shares at a price higher than the higher of (a) the price of the last independent transaction, or (b) the highest independent bid at that time on the trading venue where the purchase was made, even if the shares were traded on different trading venues. In addition, the limitations approved in the resolution authorizing the acquisition of treasury shares granted to the Board of Directors by AmRest's General Meeting of Shareholders held on 12 May 2022 were to be considered.

• AmRest could not purchase on any trading day more than 25% of the average daily volume of AmRest shares on the Continuous Market of the Spanish Stock Exchanges or, as the case may be, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, during the 20 trading days preceding the date of purchase.

  • Indicative duration of the program: the Buy-back Program commenced on 5 July 2023 and was to remain in force until 4 July 2024. However, AmRest reserved the right to terminate the Buy-Back Program if, prior to its expiry date, it reaches the maximum monetary amount, or the maximum number of shares authorized by the Board of Directors or in the event of other circumstances that make it advisable to do so.

  • Execution of the Buy-Back Program: Banco Santander, S.A. had been appointed as the manager of the Buy-Back Program, which was to independently make decisions regarding the purchase of the AmRest shares without any influence or interference from the Company. Purchases under the Buy-back Program could be made on the Continuous Market of the Spanish Stock Exchanges or, as the case may be, the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

On 23 October the Company informed that, as a result of the last of the acquisitions of own shares, the maximum investment foreseen in the Buy-Back Program (i.e. EUR 6.3 million) had been reached, which constituted the acquisition of a total of 1 052 235 own shares, representing 0.4793% of the share capital.

All acquisitions under the Buy-Back Program had been carried out and duly reported on a regular basis to the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV) and the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) by means of the publication of the corresponding communications to the market, in accordance with the provisions of Delegated Regulation 2016/1052 and the Market Abuse Regulation.

As a consequence of the above, the Buy-Back Program was terminated.

Forecasts of financial results

The Company has not published any forecasts of financial results.

Any forward-looking statements and estimates are aspirational and should be considered indicative and for illustrative purposes only. These statements have been prepared on the basis of the knowledge and information available at the date of publication of this report. In this regard, it should be noted that geopolitical risks remain extraordinarily high. The wars in Ukraine and Israel may generate disruptions in supply chains, in commodity and energy prices. In addition, developments in the wars may affect consumer confidence, changing their propensity to consume and the way we consume. Secondly, the still high cost pressure and the further tightening of financial conditions at the global level may have consequences that are difficult to predict but impacting the disposable income of households, corporate profitability and consequently the propensity and likelihood to consume of final customers

The management of AmRest is carefully monitoring these events and their potential impacts in the business of the company.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim report

1. General information on AmRest Group

AmRest Holdings SE ("The Company", "AmRest") was incorporated in the Netherlands in October 2000. Since 2008 the Company operates a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE). The company is domiciled in Spain.

Paseo de la Castellana 163, 28046 (Madrid), Spain is the Company's registered office as of 30 September 2023 and has not changed during the the reporting period.

Hereinafter the Company and its subsidiaries shall be referred to as the "Group" and "AmRest Group".

In 2005 the shares of AmRest Holdings SE were quoted for the first time on the Warsaw Stock Exchange ("WSE") and in 2018 were quoted on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges, through the Spanish Automated Quotation System (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil - SIBE). Since 21 November 2018 AmRest's shares have been quoted simultaneously on both the above stock exchanges (dual listing).

Grupo Finaccess S.A.P.I. de C.V. is the ultimate parent of the Group.

The Group is the largest independent chain restaurant operator in Central and Eastern Europe. The Group is also conducting its operations in Western Europe and China. The Group's principal place of business is Europe.

The Group operates Kentucky Fried Chicken ("KFC"), Pizza Hut ("PH"), Burger King ("BK") and Starbucks ("SBX") restaurants through its subsidiaries in Poland, the Czech Republic (hereinafter Czechia), Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia and Spain, on the basis of franchise rights granted. Starting from 1 October 2016 the Group as a master-franchisee has the right to grant a license to third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (sub-franchise) in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by AmRest. Pizza Hut restaurants acquired in France in May 2017 are operated both by AmRest and its sub-franchisees based on master-franchise agreements ("MFA"). In 2023 AmRest sold its KFC business in Russia. Transaction is further described in note 4.

In Spain and Portugal the Group operates its own brand La Tagliatella. In China the Group operates its own brand called Blue Frog. Both businesses are based on operating equity and franchise restaurants supported by the central kitchens located in Spain (La Tagliatella) and in China (for Blue Frog) that produce and deliver products to the whole network.

In 2018 the Group acquired the Bacoa and Sushi Shop brands, as a result of which it operates licensed restaurants in Spain (Bacoa) and proprietary and franchise Sushi Shop restaurants in France, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Bacoa is a primarily premium burger concept in Spain and Sushi Shop is the operator of the leading European chain of Japanese cuisine restaurants.

Additionally, among own brands the Group operates virtual brands.

3. Basis of preparation

Accounting figures presented in this condensed consolidated interim report were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

Unless disclosed otherwise, the amounts in these consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (EUR), rounded off to full millions with one decimal place.

This interim report does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim report are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards effective as of 1 January 2023, which do not have material impact on the interim report of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial report required the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group's accounting policies. Estimates and judgments are continually verified and are based on professional experience and on various factors, including expectations of future events, which are deemed to be justified in given circumstances. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group has prepared this condensed consolidated financial report on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

4. Loss of control

During second quarter of 2023 AmRest Group disposed its Russian KFC operations and ceased all its operations and corporate presence in Russia.

In December 2022, AmRest Group entered into a share purchase agreement for the sale of its KFC restaurant business in Russia. The closing of the transaction was subject to the approval from the competition authority in Russia, the consent by Yum! Brands Inc.- brand owner and other regulatory authorizations that may be applicable in Russia. The final terms of the transaction were subject to certain external factors, including EUR/RUB exchange rate.

In February 2023 Unirest LLC, an affiliate of Yum! Brands Inc. exercised its right of first refusal pursuant to the underlying franchise agreements for itself or for the benefit of a third party, and appointed Smart Service Nord Ltd as the purchaser of the Business. As a consequence of Unirest's exercise of its right of first refusal, AmRest terminated the sale and purchase agreement entered in December 2022, and signed a new sale and purchase agreement with Smart Service on 25 February 2023 substantially in the same terms and conditions.

On 28 April 2023, after the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to which it was subject, the transaction between AmRest's subsidiaries AmRest Sp. z o.o. and AmRest Acquisition Limited and Smart Service Nord Ltd. for the sale of AmRest's KFC business in Russia (the "Transaction") was closed. Final price of EUR 100 million was received by AmRest, and as required by local regulations, the Transaction was submitted to the relevant registries for registration.

The registration took place on 15 May 2023, and this date was assessed as a date of loss of control over Russian KFC operations. Accounting effect of the deconsolidation is presented in the tables below.

The transaction represented full disposal of AmRest business held in Russia and Russian market was a separate operating segment reported in consolidated financial statements.

Group assessed that disposal of Russia operation met the definition of discontinued operation under IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" ("IFRS 5"). Consequently, following adjustments were applied in these condensed consolidated financial statements:

  • For condensed consolidated income statement:
    • discontinued operations were presented as a single line item comprising of post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations, and post tax gain or loss on loss of control, with further details in note 4 below
    • comparative figures were re-presented to separate continuing operations from discontinued operations
  • For condensed consolidated cash flow statement:
    • Net operating, investing and financing cash flows from discontinued operations were presented in note 4 below, and there is no separate presentation of cash flows from discontinued operations on the face of the cash flow statement
  • For segment reporting:
    • Segment reporting does not include Russia operations, and consequently comparative figures were re-presented to reflect only continued operations.

No adjustments were introduced for comparative figures in condensed consolidated statement of financial position and condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Below table presents details of result of discontinued operation:

  • For 2023 discontinued operations reflect operations for the period of 4,5 months ended 15 May 2023 and the result on deconsolidation,
  • For 2022 data discounted operations reflect operations for the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2022.

5. Segment reporting

AmRest as a group of dynamic developing entities running operations in many markets and various restaurant business segments is under constant analysis of the Board of Directors. The Board is also constantly reviewing the way business is analysed and adjusts it accordingly to changes in the Group's structure as a consequence of strategic decisions.

Group produces various reports, in which its business activities are presented in a variety of ways. Operating segments are set on the basis of management reports used by the Board when making strategic decisions. The Board of Directors analyses the Group's performance by geographical breakdown in divisions described in the table below.

Owned restaurants and franchised businesses are analysed within three operating segments presenting Group's performance in geographical breakdown. Segments are identified based on the similarity of products, services, customer base and exposure to the same market risks. Fourth segment includes non-restaurant business. Details of the operations presented in each segment are presented below:

After the disposal of Russian operations segment "Russia" is no longer reported. Comparative amounts were consequently re-presented to reflect only continuing operations.

When analysing the results of particular business segments the Board of Directors draws attention primarily to EBITDA reached, which is not an IFRS measure.

Tax risks and uncertain tax positions

Tax settlements may be subject of the tax control for the period of 3-5 years from the date of their filing. Tax settlements of AmRest entities are subject to several tax inspections which were widely described in the note "Tax risks and uncertain tax position" to the consolidated financial statements for 2022 ("the Note").

• AmRest sp. z o.o. (Poland):

In respect to tax inspections related to VAT proceedings of fiscal periods:

a) VAT periods from April to September 2018: On 17 July 2023 the Company received the decision issued by the Tax Authorities in Wrocław, stating that the Company could not benefit from 5% VAT rate and the biding power of the rulings held by the Company. The total VAT liability assessed by the Tax Authorities amounts to EUR 2.2 million (PLN 9.8 million). No additional sanction imposed. The Company appealed against the decision to the Tax Authorities of second instance.

b) VAT periods from October 2018 to March 2019: On 14 March 2023 the Company received the decisions issued by the Tax Authorities in Katowice, stating that the Company could not benefit from 5% VAT and the biding power of the rulings held by the Company. The total VAT liability assessed by the Tax Authorities amounts to EUR 4.0 million (PLN 17.9 million) which includes a penalty of 30%. The Company appealed against the decisions to the Tax Authorities of second instance and to date no decisions of second instance have been received. On 21 August 2023, the Company received an information that fiscal-penal proceeding has been started and the limitation period has been suspended.

In respect to tax inspection regarding CIT for 2013, the decision of the Tax Authorities has been repealed by the Court on April 6, 2022 and the case was sent to the Tax Authorities to reconsider it again. On August 7, 2023, the Company received a decision of second instance (issued again). The Tax Authorities confirmed that the limitation period has been suspended in a correct way and did not cancel the proceedings. On September 5, the Company filed a complaint to the Court. No additional liability assessed based on the decision (the liability was paid in 2021).

• Pastificio Service S.L.U., AmRest Tag S.L.U. and AmRest Holdings SE (Spain): On 22 March 2021, the entities received tax settlement agreement indicating the additional tax liability amounting to EUR 1.1 million for CIT 2014-2017 with regards to certain tax benefits related to intangible assets (i.e. patent box regimen), which was paid on 14 June 2021. The Group disagree and submitted on 26 July 2021 economic-administrative claim which were rejected. On 21 December 2022, the companies filed before the National Audience the allegations writ and to date the Court's resolution has not been received.

On 18 April 2023, AmRest Holdings SE (as head of the CIT Group) and Pastificio Service S.L.U received a notice of initiation of tax audit relating to the patent box regime for fiscal years 2018 and 2019. In relation to this tax audit a tax assessment has been received amounting EUR 0.45 million. However, the Company will file allegations against the tax assessment.

• Sushi Shop Group (France): On 9 June 2022, the Company received two tax assessments relating to corporate income tax (CIT) for fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The first tax assessments included corrections for CIT of fiscal years 2018 and 2019 in the amount of EUR 1 million. The Company proceeded to pay EUR 0.7 million and not agreeing with the rest of the tax assessment (EUR 0.3 million) filed allegations before Tax Authorities which were rejected. Subsequently the Company filed allegations before the French Courts on 11 April 2023 which are pending of resolution. The second tax assessments for fiscal year 2020 amounted EUR 2.8 million. The Company did not agree with this tax

assessment and filed an appeal before tax authorities, obtaining a favourable ruling on 14 February 2023. Bank guarantee requested for filing allegations (amounting EUR 3.1 million) are refunded for an amount of EUR 2.8 million. The rest (EUR 0.3 million) will be maintained until the procedure for FY 2018 and 2019 is closed.

The Group's risk assessment regarding tax risks and uncertainties has not changed since the publication of the consolidated financial statements for 2022. Therefore, as of 30 September 2023 and as of the date of publication of this Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, no new provisions were created.

In Group's opinion, there are no other material contingent liabilities concerning pending audits and tax proceedings.

Share premium

This item reflects the surplus over the nominal value of the share capital increase and additional contributions to equity without issue of shares made by shareholders prior to becoming a public entity.

There were no transactions within share premium in 9 months period ended 30 September 2023.

Treasury shares

As of 30 September 2023 the Group had 1 131 820 treasury shares for a total purchase value of EUR 8.4 million, presented as treasury shares within "Reserves" under equity.

Transactions with NCI

This item reflects the impact of accounting for transactions with non-controlling interests (NCI). During the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2023 the Group paid dividend to non-controlling shareholders. During third quarter of 2022 Group has acquired 40% of shares of Amrest d.o.o. for total amount of EUR 2.3 million. After the transaction Group became the sole shareholder of Amrest d.o.o.

Hedges valuation

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk associated with the investment in its foreign subsidiaries, which is managed by applying net hedge investment strategies.

In 2018 AmRest Holdings assigned its PLN 280 million external borrowing as a hedging instrument in a net hedge for its Polish subsidiaries. Following scheduled debt repayments, the net investment hedge has decreased. As of 30 September 2023, the value of net investment hedge amounts to PLN 168 million (PLN 196 million as of end of 2022).

AmRest Sp. z o.o., a Polish subsidiary, with PLN as functional currency, is a borrower of external EUR financing. Since 2017, the bank loan has been hedging the net investment in its EUR subsidiaries. Following a change in presentation currency of the Group from PLN to EUR, AmRest Sp. z o.o. remains exposed to the foreign currency risk between the functional currency of its net investment in its EUR investments and its own functional currency (PLN). These different functional currencies create a genuine economic exposure to changes in fair values in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The net investment hedge as of 30 September 2023 is EUR 152.7 million (177 million as of end of 2022).

For all net investment hedges, exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of liabilities that are hedging net investments are charged to equity in order to offset gains or losses on translation of the net investment in subsidiaries.

During the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2023 and 2022 hedges were fully effective.

During the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2023 the amount of currency revaluation recognised in reserve capital (resulting from net investment hedges) amounted to EUR 1.6 million, and deferred tax concerning this revaluation EUR 0.3 million.

Translation reserves

The balance of translation reserves depends on the changes in the exchange rates. Total change in translation reserves allocated to shareholders of the parent for the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2023 amounted to EUR 16.5 million (including recycling of translation reserve in Russia of EUR 28.6 million). The most significant impact has a change in Russian ruble to EUR (EUR -8.4 million). Other significant changes result from change of Chinese yuan, Hungarian forint and Polish zloty to EUR.

10. Earnings per share

As of 30 September 2023 and 2022 the Company has 219 554 183 shares issued.

Table below presents calculation of basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share for the period of 9 months ended 30 September 2023 and 2022.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (including treasury shares, vested options under share based programs, number of shares to be transferred as a consideration for acquisition).

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted by the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares (unvested options for open share based payments programs).
