The Group's performance in Q1 2024

External Environment

Most European countries have started 2024 with timid economic growth that is lower than initially expected by the main international organisations. Inflation has also been declining faster than expected, mainly thanks to the sharp correction in energy prices. This price moderation, together with the continued strength of labour markets, is starting to have a positive effect on real wage growth and household purchasing power. However, the context of high geopolitical risk remains, which has continued to affect consumer confidence and propensity to consume at the beginning of the year.

The European Central Bank has kept its interest rates unchanged during the period, while monetary policies in the non-Euro countries where AmRest operates are at different stages of the cycle. Despite this, interest rates in the first quarter of 2024 were significantly higher than in the same period of 2023, impacting companies' financing costs.

In the Chinese economy the adjustment in the real estate market continues and domestic demand remains very weak, a situation that continues to generate the risk of deflation in the country. One of the effects of this inflation differential with respect to the rest of the advanced economies is the divergence in terms of monetary policy with a direct impact on the exchange rate. In this regard, the Renminbi has depreciated by almost 5% against the Euro over the last 12 months.

Revenues

AmRest generated revenues of EUR 592.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, a growth of 5.2% compared to the same period in 2023. The quarter went from less to more in terms of business. After a weak January, sales gradually recovered and the comparable same store sales (SSS) index closed the quarter at 102. In terms of transactions, aggregate growth was 1.4%. However, these consolidated figures show a significant disparity between different countries, with the excellent performance of the Polish market standing out.

It is worth to emphasise the rapid progress of digital sales that reached 56% of total sales, which is 6 percentage points higher than a year ago and is resulting in a higher number of products sold in each transaction.

With regard to sales by distribution channels, the trend continues, with dine-in consumption showing the greatest dynamism and the highest growth rates, while the delivery channel shows the most modest growth.

Chart 2 AmRest quarterly Group's sales (in EUR millions)

EBITDA generated amounted to EUR 81.1 million. Operating profit (EBIT) was EUR 18.6 million.

EBITDA generation represents a new record high in nominal terms for a first quarter of the year after registering a yearon-year growth of 14.9%, which puts the EBITDA margin at 13.7%, over one percentage point higher than in the same period of 2023. The moderation in both supply prices and energy costs are the main reasons behind the improvement in profitability, which also reflects the progress made in terms of efficiency, the positive effects of economies of scale and appropriate pricing.

In terms of operating profit (EBIT), annual growth stood at 30%. The EBIT margin reached 3.1% compared to 2.5% in the first quarter of 2023.

* margin percentage excluding extraordinary gain in 2019 and Russia in all years.

Finally, the progress at the commercial level described above and the higher financial expenses, as a result of the higher rates, resulted in a net profit of -2.1 million euros compared to the 3.1 million euros generated during the first quarter of 2023, of which 1.5 million euros came from continuing operations and 1.6 million euros from discontinued operations.

From a balance sheet perspective, AmRest's shareholders' equity stood at EUR 393.7 million, down EUR -7.0 million from the end of the year as a consequence of the net result, the impact of the purchase of treasury shares and currency effects.

The Group's gross financial debt remained virtually stable during the quarter at EUR 620.7 million, while net financial debt stood at EUR 454.6 million, this is an increase of EUR 57.2 million as a result of a decrease of EUR 60 million in the Group's cash, which remained at a prudent level of EUR 167.1 million. This balance variation is the result of the normal seasonality in the cash generation of the business during the first quarter of the year, the payment of the transaction costs related to the new debt agreement and the execution of CAPEX from the high number of restaurant openings carried out during the last month of the financial year 2023. In addition, AmRest has available credit lines of EUR 254.9 million.

The Group's financial debt and leverage profile (2.0x) remain largely unchanged following the signing of the new credit facilities at the end of 2023.

The financial covenants state that the adjusted consolidated net debt/EBITDA must remain below 3.5x and the debt service coverage ratio must be above 1.5x. Both ratios are calculated according to the definitions provided in the loan agreement and on a non-IFRS16 basis. In addition, the Group is obliged to maintain the equity ratio above 8%. All these conditions are adequately met by AmRest at the end of the quarter.

Finally, operating cash generation reached EUR 70 million and CAPEX advanced to EUR 29.1 million, EUR 2.7 million higher than in the same period of 2023.

*Net Debt pre IFRS16.

At the end of the first quarter of 2024 AmRest managed a portfolio of 2 197 restaurants, after opening 19 new units and closing 10 resulting in a net growth of 9 units mainly located in CEE countries.

**Re-presented - excluding Russia business.

Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)

This segment recorded the Group's strongest sales growth and margin expansion in the first quarter of 2024. Revenues in the 1Q24 period reached EUR 335.3 million, a growth of 10.2% compared to the same quarter of 2023. EBITDA generated amounted to EUR 58.8 million with a growth of 23.0%. This represents an EBITDA margin of 17.5% and an expansion of 1.8 percentage points. Operating profit (EBIT) reached EUR 25.1 million after growing by 35.5%.

Of particular note was the strong growth of 14.2% in Polish revenues and 46.1% in terms of EBITDA, resulting in a margin of 15.7% that increases in 3.4 percentage points.

AmRest had 1,185 restaurants in the region at the end of the first quarter. This represents a quarterly growth of 9 restaurants after opening 12 new units and closing 3.

Western Europe (WE)

Quarterly revenues achieved in this segment amounted to EUR 218.7 million, an increase of 2.9% compared to the first quarter of 2023. EBITDA generated amounted to EUR 27.7 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.4%, and an EBITDA margin of 12.7%, 1.5 percentage points higher than in 1Q23. Finally, EBIT reached EUR 3.6 million, up 138.3%.

Once again, there is a wide disparity in the evolution of the business between different countries. On the positive side, revenues in Spain increased by 13.9% and EBITDA by 21.1%, resulting in a significant expansion of margins. On the other hand, revenues in France fell by -5.1%, although EBITDA generated grew strongly, by 35.8%, leading to an expansion of 1.9 percentage points in the EBITDA margin.

In terms of the portfolio of restaurants, at the end of the first quarter of 2024, AmRest had 923 restaurants in the region following the opening of 5 units and the closure of 6 during the quarter.

China

The drop in consumption was significant, especially during the first weeks of the year, but consumer sentiment, and consequently AmRest's sales figures, improved significantly as the quarter progressed. In addition, the currency effect, with the depreciation of the Renminbi, had a considerable impact for another quarter in the region Group´s result.

Revenues generated during the first quarter of 2024 amounted to EUR 21.6 million, a decline of -12.9% compared to the same period of 2023, in local currency terms the effect is reduced to -7.4%. This revenues represents 3.7% of AmRest's total turnover.

EBITDA generated amounted to EUR 4.1 million compared to EUR 5.6 million a year earlier. This represents an EBITDA margin of 18.9% and a decline of 3.7 percentage points in profitability. Operating profit (EBIT) was EUR -0.3 million.

Despite the drop in profitability levels, the Group's business in the country has adapted efficiently to the new macroeconomic context and market situation, preserving a level of EBITDA margin close to 20% and maintaining an excellent position to achieve margin expansion if there is a slight improvement in consumption.

The number of restaurants in the country at the end of the first quarter was 89 units following the opening of two new units and the closure of one.

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 table 3.
    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 table 3.
    1. EBITDA margin EBITDA divided by Total Revenue.
    1. EBIT margin EBIT divided by Total Revenue.
    1. CAPEX investments capitalized during the period on Property, Plant and Equipment, and on intangible assets.
    1. Net financial debt: this is the main metric used by management to measure the Company's level of indebtedness.It is composed of interest-bearing loans and borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents.
    1. Leverage ratio: shows a company's indebtedness in relation to its ability to generate cash and operating profits. It is calculated as the ratio of net financial debt to pre-IFRS16 EBITDA.

Forecasts of financial results

The Company has not published any forecasts of financial results.

Uncertainty remains high for yet another quarter. First, geopolitical tensions are extraordinarily high, marked mainly but not exclusively by the wars in Ukraine and Middle East where the uncertain course of the conflicts and its implications continue to affect supplies and prices of both commodities and energy. In addition, developments in the wars may affect consumer confidence, changing their propensity to consume and the way they consume. Secondly, a more restrictive financial conditions at the global level may have consequences that are difficult to predict which may affect the financing capacity and conditions of households and companies.

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 31 March 2024 and has not changed during the reporting period.

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

The shares of AmRest Holdings SE are listed in the Warsaw Stock Exchange ("WSE") and in all four Spanish stock exchanges through the Spanish Automated Quotation System (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil – SIBE).

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 Spain, Portugal and Andorra 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 restaurants for sushi, sashimi and other Japanese specialities.

Upon occurrence of an event of default, both AmRest and Starbucks (as the case may be, acting as non-defaulting shareholder) will have the option to purchase all of the shares of the other shareholder (the defaulting shareholder) in the terms and conditions foreseen in the corresponding agreements. In the event of a deadlock, Starbucks will have, in the first place, the option to purchase all the shares of AmRest and, if Starbucks does not exercise that option, AmRest will have the option to purchase all the shares of Starbucks, in the terms and conditions foreseen in the corresponding agreements. In the event of a change of control in AmRest Holdings, Starbucks will have the right to increase its participation in each of the companies up to 100%.

Where AmRest acts as a franchisee, the agreements are signed for individual restaurants to operate under a franchised brand. The majority of the agreements are entered into for a 10-year period with the possibility of further extension. Under the agreements AmRest is required to pay an agreed initial fee when the restaurant opens, and variable royalties and marketing fees.

AmRest operates Starbucks stores under license agreements entered into per each country where the brand is present.

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 this condensed consolidated financial report 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 2023. 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 2023, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards effective as of 1 January 2024, 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. 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.

Own restaurant and franchise business are analysed for three operating segments presenting Group's performance in geographic breakdown. Geographical areas are identified based on the similarity of products and services, similar characteristics of the production process and of the customer base and economic similarities (i.e. exposure to the same market risks). Fourth segment includes in general non-restaurant business. Details of the operations presented in each segment are presented below:

includes non-restaurant businesses performed by AmRest Holdings SE, SCM Sp. z o.o. and its
subsidiaries and other minor entities performing holding and/or financing services.

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.

The segment information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in this condensed consolidated interim report.

Segment measure and the reconciliation to profit/loss from operations for the period of 3 months ended 31 March 2024 and for the comparative period of 3 months ended 31 March 2023 is presented below.

Tax inspections in Poland

a) On 28 September 2022, the Tax Authorities initiated a tax audit on VAT in AmRest Sp. z o.o. for the periods from April 2018 to September 2018. In final decisions the Tax Authorities stated 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 amount to EUR 2.2 million (PLN 9.8 million – secured by the bank guarantee). On 11 December 2023 the Company submitted the complaint to the Local Administrative Court. On April 17, 2024 the Court decided to temporarily suspend the proceeding.

b) On 12 October 2023, the Tax Authorities initiated a tax audit on VAT in AmRest Sp. z o.o. for the periods from April 2019 to August 2019. On 2 May 2024, the Tax Authorities stated that the Company should tax the sale at 8% VAT rate instead of 5% and the tax rulings do not apply. The Company does not agree with the conclusions and will continue the dispute.

c) On 26 November 2018, the Tax Authorities initiated a tax audit on 2013 Corporate Income Tax (CIT) in AmRest Sp. z o.o.. The decision of the Tax Authorities was contested by the Company in the Court proceeding. The Administrative Court repealed the decision and sent it back to the Tax Authorities to reconsider. On 7 August 2023, the Company received a negative decision of second instance. On 5 September 2023, the Company filed a complaint to the Court. On 4 April 2024, the decision of the Tax Authorities was repealed by the Court and the tax proceeding was discontinued. The decision could still be challenged by the Tax Authorities. No additional liability assessed based on the Court decision (the tax liability was paid in 2021).

Tax inspections in Spain
