Commenting on today's results, Olivier Rigaud, CEO, stated: "We delivered a strong performance in the first half of 2024 demonstrating the underlying strength of our business. I am pleased to see continuation of our positive volume/mix growth and Adjusted EBITDA growth as well as a continuation of our positive free cash flow delivery. We made good progress in the

1 Following the divestment of the Emulsifier business, results are now presented on "Continued Operations" (in line with IFRS 5) and our "non-core" segment has been eliminated.

implementation of our restructuring program, delivering increased margins. Building on Corbion's first half performance, where we saw strong Adjusted EBITDA growth, we are well ontrack to deliver in line with our full year guidance.

We saw positive momentum in Functional Ingredients & Solutions with strong volume/mix in our Food segment, partially offset the Biochemicals segment where we continue to see temporary softness in some markets. In line with our earlier guidance, pricing has been lower as a result of price reductions in some areas following input cost relaxation. In Health & Nutrition, we continue to see strong double digit growth in both sales and adjusted EBITDA mainly driven by the Nutrition segment (Omega-3 DHA within aquaculture and pet nutrition).

Upon the completion of the start-up phase of our new circular lactic acid plant in Thailand, we are expecting to gradually ramp up. The first volumes of lactic acid from this new plant have been produced.

Following the divestment of Emulsifiers, new targets have been submitted for validation to the Science Based Targets initiative. These increased targets are aligned with the ambition of keeping global warming below 1.5°C. The ambition is to reduce our absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions with 42% and our absolute scope 3 emissions with 25% by 20302 ."

Management review H1 2024: Continued Operations

Following the completion of the Emulsifier divestment per April 2nd, we have prepared the profit & loss statement, excluding discontinued operations. The discontinued operations profit & loss statement has been made following IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued operations", which is presented on page 20. To provide full comparability of our two business units "Functional Ingredients & Solutions" and "Health & Nutrition", we have restated the historical segmented figures.

Sales

Sales in H1 2024 decreased by -0.7% to € 637.1 million (H1 2023: € 641.7 million) due to a pricing impact of -4.3%, compensated by volume/mix growth of 3.6%. The positive volume/mix growth was driven by both business units. Volume mix growth in Functional Ingredients & Solutions was 1.1% (Q2: 3.2%) and in Health & Nutrition 14.1% (Q2: 14.1%).

At half year-end 2024 the ratio between balance sheet total and equity was 1:0.5 (2023 yearend: 1:0.4).

Cash flow/Financing

Cash flow from operating activities increased by € 5.3 million to € 61.3 million compared to 2023. This is the balance of the lower operational cash flow before movements in working capital and provisions of € 4.5 million, a positive impact of the movement in working capital and provisions of € 19.1 million, and higher taxes and interest paid of € 9.3 million.

The cash flow required for investment activities (excluding the net proceeds from the Emulsifier transaction) reduced compared to H1 2023 by € 44.8 million to € 48.6 million driven by lower capital expenditures.

The net proceeds from the Emulsifier transaction was € 323.8 million, which excludes the related tax effect which is anticipated to be paid in H2 2024.

The net debt position at half year-end 2024 was € 452.7 million, a decrease of € 262.6 million compared to year-end 2023, mainly the result of debt repayment after the proceeds from the Emulsifier divestment and the positive cash flow from operating activities, partly compensated by the dividend payment, share buy-back and capital expenditures. The covenant net debt (excluding the subordinated loan) was € 353.1 million at the half year-end of 2024.

The covenant net debt to covenant EBITDA ratio was 2.2x at the half year-end of 2024 (H1 2023: 3.4x). The interest cover was 6.9x at half year-end 2024 (H1 2023: 10.9x). We continue to stay well within the limits of our financing covenants.

Outlook 2024

Corbion remains strongly positioned to deliver the Sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow targets. We anticipate the positive momentum to continue in the second half of the year and therefore maintain our full year guidance.

The key components of our full year guidance are as follows:

  • Organic growth (continued operations)
    • o Volume/mix growth: 2-6%
    • o Pricing: low single digit negative pricing
    • o Adjusted EBITDA growth: > 18%3 :
  • Free Cash Flow: > € 50 million (excluding divestment proceeds)
  • Covenant net debt/covenant EBITDA: 1.8 2.3x

On April 2 nd, we have completed the divestment of the non-core Emulsifier business. The full year anticipated cash proceeds are € 255 million. The cash income related to the transaction is received in H1, whilst the related tax outflow is anticipated in H2.

3 Adjusted EBITDA growth continued operations >18% is equal to the previous metric Adjusted EBITDA growth core activities >15%.

Segment information

Functional Ingredients & Solutions

€ million H1 2024 H1 2023 Q2 2024 Q2 2023
Sales 497.2 519.5 257.9 261.1
Organic growth -4.3% 1.3% -2.2% -1.6%
Adjusted EBITDA 44.6 47.9 26.7 22.7
Adjusted EBITDA margin 9.0% 9.2% 10.4% 8.7%

Sales in Functional Ingredients & Solutions was lower driven by pricing of -5.4% which took place following input cost relaxation. Volume/mix growth was 1.1% in H1 2024 driven by the continued positive momentum in our Food segment, with Q2 showing a volume/mix growth of 3.2%.

In Food, we have seen a continuation of growth in our key markets like bakery, meat and dairy as well as continued growth in our key strategic initiatives like dough conditioners, natural mold inhibitors, dairy stabilizers, and natural anti-oxidants. We are starting to see the benefits of an improved sales pipeline.

In Biochemicals, sales declined driven by the temporary softness in some markets, such as semiconductors and agrochemicals. Within semiconductors we anticipate some recovery by the end of this year.

The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.0% in H1 2024 (including the absorption of cost previously allocated to emulsifiers of 170bps which are planned to be recovered in the coming quarters), which was 20bps lower than last year as a result of operational leverage and product/mix. In Q2, the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.4% (including the absorption of costs previously allocated to emulsifiers). We made good progress in the implementation of our initiatives intended to increase margins going forward. We reduced our FTEs by 127 versus YE 2023 with some further already announced reductions to be effectuated in Q3.

Health & Nutrition

Adjusted EBITDA 41.5 21.1 24.9 10.9
Adjusted EBITDA margin 29.7% 17.3% 31.6% 16.0%

In Health & Nutrition, we saw continued strong sales growth (organic growth of 14.5%) primarily driven by a strong performance in the Nutrition segment (Omega-3 DHA within aquaculture and pet nutrition). We achieved profitable growth within aquaculture by capitalizing on the overall industry growth, increased penetration of major aquafeed producers, and favorable pricing dynamics.

In the Biomedical polymer segment, we continue to see positive momentum within orthopedic and drug delivery markets. H1 sales in this segment was soft, following phasing of some orders, while we are on track to deliver double digit growth for the full year. In April, our partner Medincell signed a co-development and license agreement with Abbvie for several products that will use our polymers.

Adjusted EBITDA grew from € 21.1 to € 41.5 million (+€ 20.4 million) driven by operational leverage and favorable product mix as well as higher yields within the Nutrition segment (through strain optimization). The Adjusted EBITDA margin grew significantly to 29.7%.

Information on the use of alternative non-IFRS performance measures

In the above table and elsewhere in the financial statements a number of non-IFRS performance measures is presented. Management is of the opinion that these so-called alternative performance measures might be useful for the readers of these financial statements. Corbion management uses these performance measures to make financial, operational, and strategic decisions and evaluate performance of the segments. The alternative performance measures can be calculated as follows:

● EBITDA is the operating profit before depreciation, amortization, and impairment of (in)tangible fixed assets

● EBITDA margin is EBITDA divided by net sales x 100

Financial Instruments

Valuation of financial instruments

Corbion measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

● Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than level 1 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

● Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair values are determined as follows

● The fair value of receivables equals the book value because of their short-term character.

● Cash and cash equivalents are measured at nominal value which, given the short-term and risk-free character, corresponds to the

● Market quotations are used to determine the fair value of debt owed to private parties, credit institutions and other debts. As there are no market quotations for most of the loans the fair value of short- and long-term loans is determined by discounting the future cash flows at the yield curve applicable as at the reporting date.

● Financial lease commitments: the fair value is estimated at the present value of the future cash flows, discounted at the interest rate for similar contracts which is applicable as at the reporting date. This fair value equals the book value.

● Given the short-term character, the fair value of non-interest-bearing liabilities equals the book value.

● Currency and interest derivatives are measured on the basis of the present value of future cash flows over the remaining term of the contracts, using the bank interest rate (such as Euribor) as at the reporting date for the remaining term of the contracts. The present value in foreign currencies is converted using the exchange rate applicable as at the reporting date.

● Commodity derivatives are measured on the basis of the present value of future cash flows, using market quotations or own variable market price estimations of the involved commodity as at the reporting date.

Alternative performance measures (APM)

In this report, Corbion has included certain non-IFRS financial information. This information is presented to assist in making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to assess the operating performance of the business. Corbion uses these measures to assess the performance of the business and believes that the information is useful to users of the financial information. The non-IFRS financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by the IASB, therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Corbion believes the APMs are relevant based on the following considerations.

APM category Relevance
EBITDA Corbion believes the measure provides valuable insight in the understanding of operating profitability and the cash
flow component thereof. Further, it is a common APM used by other companies, therefore providing better
comparability of Corbion's performance to other companies.
Adjustments, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating
result, Adjusted result after taxes, Adjusted EBITDA
margin%
Adjustments and the related adjusted APMs show items that in view of management require disclosure to assist in
making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to assess the underlying operating performance of the
business as it excludes sizeable items of an incidental/one-off nature.
Organic adjusted EBITDA growth, Organic sales The organic growth measures are used to explain the underlying result development of the business by separate
growth, Organic operating profit growth, Adjusted disclosing, and thus excluding, the impacts from currencies and acquisitions and divestments. It thus provides a
EBITDA excluding acquisitions and divestments, at
constant currencies
better basis for comparison and assessment of business performance without distortion from these external
sources.
Covenant EBITDA, Interest cover, Covenant net debt
position, Total net debt position
Corbion believes these measures are important as the existing debt providers to the Company (RCF and USPP
lenders) require these measures to be used in the external loan documentation.
ROCE, Capital employed, Average capital employed ROCE and the related APMs are relevant measures analyzing profitability and for comparing profitability levels
across companies in terms of capital sizes and returns therefrom. Further, these are widely used APM's by other
companies, and therefore are providing better comparability of Corbion's performance to other companies.
Free cash flow This measure provides insight into the cash flows available for debt reduction and dividend payments. Free cash
flow should not be read as an alternative to, for example, operating cash flow.
The table below gives an overview of the alternative performance measures used and their definitions.
