According to Law, as adopted by CORTICEIRA AMORIM, SGPS, S.A, a public company, presents:
Conditions in financial markets remained distressed in the third quarter of 2011 and the political situation in the European Union has even worsened. The climate of distrust installed in the financial area and the political disorientation contributed to the maintenance of a rather gray economic environment. Downward revisions to estimates of economic growth followed each other and extended to all EU member states. The United States continued to escape this fate that Europe seems to be doomed. Even so, U.S. growth was not sufficient to generate jobs and greater tax revenues to boost confidence in the country.
During the third quarter of 2011, the economic activity in CORTICEIRA AMORIM's major markets continued to show a growth pace similar to that recorded in 1H11. CORTICEIRA AMORIM continued to enjoy growth - albeit modest - in its main markets and this, together with its excellent competitive position, continues to be the main reason for our Company reporting good business indicators and results.
In comparison with the same period a year before, CORTICEIRA AMORIM recorded its seventh consecutive quarter of consolidated sales growth.
The 8.9% increase in sales in 3Q11 was in line with that recorded in 1H11 and brought September's YTD sales to 9.5%.
In absolute terms, sales totaled EUR 380 million (EUR M), EUR 33M above the level reached in the first nine months of 2010.
The EBITDA / sales ratio continued to perform well in 3Q11 (15.9%) in line with that recorded in 1H11.
The Timberman Denmark A/S. subsidiary was included in the consolidation scope in the third quarter of 2011, after the acquisition of a 51% stake in the share capital of this company. This is a joint venture with a partner that has a long-standing and strong presence in the Danish wood flooring market. In view of this new approach to this market, the business of our Amorim Flooring Nordic A/S subsidiary will be discontinued. Intercraft, Lda. - a company that never started operations - was liquidated in 3Q2011.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM's year-to-date sales reached EUR 380M (+9.5%) and our Company managed to keep the strong pace of growth recorded in 1H11 (+9.7%).
During the third quarter of 2011, the Floor and Wall Coverings Business Unit ("BU") reinforced the upward trend observed in 2Q11. In fact, sales in 2Q11 rebound after a drop in 1Q11. Net sales of this BU for the first nine months of 2011 show a growth of 6.7%. By contrast, the Insulation Cork BU has been showing a declining business activity.
In 3Q11 the Raw Materials BU kept the same pace of sales recorded in 1H11 and sales to other BUs grew by some 16%. As CORTICEIRA AMORIM's production shall have increased approximately 14%, this growth shows a greater integration into the production cycle.
In general it can be said that all business units in Portugal, Spain or North Africa recorded stronger sales growth and better business results.
The requirements for raw materials to be manufactured were completed at the end of 3Q11, although the quantities bought and the average purchase price were higher than a year before.
Sales of natural cork stoppers for the first 9 months of 2011 amounted to EUR 227.5 M, up EUR 18 M compared to the same period in 2010.
The Cork Stoppers BU continued to show a significant sales growth rate (8.7%), and kept roughly the same performance as in 1H11. The main reason for the variation were the quantities sold as the positive effect of price was broadly offset by the negative impact of currency effects, especially that caused by the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.
Sales of champagne corks (+16%) continue to stand out. The increase in the sales of agglomerated cork stoppers (+30%) deserve a special mention since this family of cork stoppers is a major response by CORTICEIRA AMORIM to cheap competition from plastic wine stoppers and aluminium screw caps. The TwinTop® cork stoppers have also managed to maintain its good sales level.
The other families of cork stoppers showed sales growth consistent with the BU's sales performance.
More than 2600 million cork stoppers were sold in the first nine months of 2011, up 200 million cork stoppers than the figure recorded for the same period during 2010.
Sales to the four major markets (France, the USA, Italy and Spain) increased between 9% and 16%.
In 3Q2011 the sales made by the Floor and Wall Coverings BU showed signs of business recovery, a trend being already seen in the previous quarter. This BU's year-to-date sales in September increased 6.7% to EUR 91.2 M. The main contributory factors to this rise were the maintenance of the pace of sales growth of manufactured products (+10%) already seen in 1H11 and some increase in the sales of wood flooring, which grew from -20% at the end of 1H11 to -15% YTD sales in September 2011.
As far as products are concerned, the continued good performance of the LVT flooring and Cork Style flooring must be stressed. In terms of markets, the U.S. market and the Eastern European markets deserve a special mention. Both the Benelux market and the Iberian market made a negative contribution to this BU due to organizational reasons and economic reasons, respectively.
The business of Timberman was consolidated into CORTICEIRA AMORIM's financial statements from the beginning of 3Q11. The combined effect of its business activities and the residual business of Amorim Flooring Nordic resulted in an adverse effect compared to the same period last year. We anticipate that this new joint venture will, in the next financial year, bring business to a level in line with the potential of the Danish market.
Year-to-date sales in September of the Cork Composites BU were EUR 66 M, a 14.8% increase which confirms a further slowdown compared to the figure recorded in 1H11. This slowdown results mainly from the fact that it is increasingly more difficult to make quarterly comparisons because of the high growth rates recorded in the last quarters of 2010.
All business segments reported significant sales increases, with the construction industry (15%) deserving special mention. Sales of Home & Office and DIY (Do It Yourself) products decreased slightly. It should be noted that these two segments represent only about 6% of the Cork Composites BU's overall sales.
The volume effect continues to account for a significant part of the increase in sales in this BU. In view of the importance of the sales of this BU to the U.S. market and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the exchange rate effect had a significant impact on sales, which more than offset the effect of price increases taken in the period under review.
The sales of the Insulation Cork BU continued its downward trend. This is the BU with the highest exposition to the construction industry and as its main markets are located in Europe – France and Italy - its business was affected by successive delays in the implementation of projects in these markets. The Middle Eastern markets upturn was not enough to offset the 5.9% decrease in year-to-date sales (EUR 6.8 M) of the Insulation Cork BU in September 2011.
Percentage gross margin in 3Q11 remained high (51.1 %) and failed to achieve the figure recorded a year before because of the high weight that the decrease in production levels had in the first nine months of 2010.
In addition to this impact on the overall trend of this indicator, it should be said that the effort toward price recovery in the Cork Stoppers BU and Cork Composites BU was more than offset by exchange-rate effects.
As far as raw materials prices are concerned, the use of natural cork has to be duly noted. The good price to quality ratio allowed the increase in cork prices over the past year to be absorbed. As to the other raw materials, there were significant price increases over the first nine months of 2011 and only recently such increases showed signs of easing.
The absolute value of the gross margin was thus strongly influenced by the increase in sales and totalled EUR 196 M, up EUR 21M in September 2011 than in the same period a year before.
Production increased by around 14% and led to increasing direct operating costs by approximately 10% (EUR +13 M). The increase in Supplies and Services was followed by an increase in production and rising energy and transport costs are also worthy of mention. It should be also noted that the promotional costs of an international cork campaign promoted by APCOR (Portuguese Cork Association) in several major world markets were shared by CORTICEIRA AMORIM which has also borne the costs related to the launch of a new 2012 collection of floor and wall coverings.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2011 was EUR 59.6 M, a 15% increase over the first nine months of 2010. The EBITDA / Sales ratio reached 15.9% in 3Q11 and brought the year-to-date sales up 15.7%. These figures are among the best that CORTICEIRA AMORIM has achieved in its recent history.
During the period under review and in view of exceptional circumstances occurred, two tests were performed on two owned subsidiaries to determine the value of their goodwill. As already mentioned in the previous quarterly reports, deteriorating transactions and declining margins from our dealings with our subsidiary "U.S. Floors" in addition to a growing financial imbalance, led us to record the remaining impairment of U.S. Floors' goodwill in the amount of EUR 3.6 M as a non-recurring expense. In 3Q11 and in view of the recent social and political unrest in Tunisia and mainly due to a significant increase in the country's risk, we have decided to carry out goodwill impairment tests on our subsidiaries located in that area. We have used the same economic assumptions used in the test carried out for the purpose of the annual statement of accounts 2010. On the other hand, the cash flow discount rate was adjusted to reflect the country risk. This test led us to record an impairment of EUR 2.2 M.
Net financial costs were affected by higher interest rates, which began to have a noticeable effect from the second quarter of 2011. The positive impact of the swap was nearly neutralized in 3Q11 and that has significantly contributed to the worsening of the financial costs in that period. Thus, the net year-to-date amount of such costs totalled EUR 3.6M, out of which an amount of EUR 2.2 M relates to 3Q11. Approximately EUR 0.7 M of such amount relates to the adverse effect of the swap in 3Q11.
After recording gains of EUR 0.4 M from associated companies, profit before tax amounted to EUR 35.3 M.
Income tax estimates continue to be guided by prudence and, as mentioned in the previous quarterly reports, a provision (EUR 0.6 M) for tax litigation dating back to 1997 was set up. Foreign subsidiaries also charged EUR 0.6 M to the profit and loss account relating to deferred tax assets from prior tax losses carried forward. Our estimate amounted to EUR 13.2 M.
Taking into account the amount of EUR 0.7 M relating to non-controlling interests, net profit attributable to CORTICEIRA AMORIM's shareholders was EUR 21.434 M, up 20.9% in comparison with the first three quarters of 2010.
Total assets stood at EUR 635M at the end of 3Q11, an increase of EUR 73M as against December 31, 2010 and EUR 79M as against 3Q10. Growth is due mainly to three factors: about 20% more cork was purchased this year, growth in trade due mainly to an increase in the value of customers' transactions and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
The growth in assets was backed by an increase in equity, an increase in the value of Suppliers' transactions and also an increase in gross interest bearing debt.
In terms of equity itself, it should be pointed out that CORTICEIRA AMORIM has resumed the policy of distributing dividends and has paid EUR 12.6 M to its shareholders. Due to the impact of dividends and the Company's profit, Equity has grown only about EUR 8 M and contributed to a deterioration of the equity to total assets ratio (43.6%). Even so, this ratio is well within the limits determined by our Board of Directors and we expect this ratio to return to levels above 45% by year-end.
During the first nine months of 2011, the distribution of dividends and, especially, the value of cork purchases, although partially offset by a net increase in the value of Suppliers' transactions, has stopped the decrease in debt levels which had occurred during the last years. Net interest bearing debt reached EUR 126.8 M compared to EUR 111.3 M in September 2010. It should be taken into account, however, that, among other things, there is a further EUR 45 M of inventories.

At the beginning of 1991, Corticeira Amorim, S.A. was transformed into CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., the holding company for the cork business sector of the Amorim Group. In this report, CORTICEIRA AMORIM will be the designation of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., and in some cases the designation of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S. together with all of its subsidiaries.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM, directly or indirectly, holds no interest in land properties used to grow and explore cork tree. Cork tree is the source of cork, the main raw material used by CORTICEIRA AMORIM production units. Cork acquisition is made in an open market, with multiple agents, both in the demand side as in the supply side.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM is mainly engaged in the acquisition and transformation of cork into a numerous set of cork and cork related products, which are distributed worldwide through its network of sales company.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM is a Portuguese company with a registered head office in Mozelos, Santa Maria da Feira. Its share capital amounts to 133 million euros, and is represented by 133 million shares, which are publicly traded in the Euronext Lisboa – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulamentados, S.A.
These financial statements were approved in the Board Meeting of November 2, 2011.
Except when mentioned, all monetary values are stated in thousand euros (Thousand euros = K euros = K€).
Some figures of the following notes may present very small differences not only when compared with the total sum of the parts, but also when compared with figures published in other parts of this report. These differences are due to rounding aspects of the automatic treatment of the data collected.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
Consolidated statements were prepared based on a going concern basis and using the records as stated in the companies' books, which adopted Portuguese general accepted accounting principles. Accounting adjustments and reclassifications were made in order to comply with accounting policies followed by the IFRS, as adopted by the European Union (IAS – International Accounting Standards and the IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards) and legal for use as of January 1, 2011. The transition date from the local GAAP was January 1, 2004.
Group companies, often designated as subsidiaries, are entities over which CORTICEIRA AMORIM has a shareholding of more than one-half of its voting rights, or has the power to govern its management, namely its financial and operating policies.
Group companies are consolidated line by line, being the position of third-party interests in the shareholding of those companies stated in the balance sheet in the "Non-controlling interest" account. Date of first consolidation or deconsolidation is, in general, the beginning or the end of the quarter when the conditions for that purpose are fulfilled.
Losses for the period that are attributable to Non-controllable interests will be debited to this account until its balance equals to zero, being all subsequent losses fully attributed to CORTICEIRA AMORIM. In subsequent reversal of losses, all profits will be attributed to CORTICEIRA AMORIM up to the full recovery of prior losses appropriated. Afterwards the usual appropriation of results between CORTICEIRA AMORIM and third-party interests will be reassumed.
In the rare case where the Non-controllable interest part has the obligation to share its portion for the losses after its balance sheet account is cancelled, a receivable will be recorded in the consolidated Balance sheet.
IFRS 3 is applied to all business combinations past January 1, 2010, according to Regulamento no. 495/2009, of June 3, as adopted by the European Commission. When acquiring subsidiaries the purchasing method will be followed. The acquisition cost will be measured by the given fair value assets, by the assumed liabilities and equity interest issued. Transactions costs will be charged as incurred and the services received. The exceptions are the costs related with debt or capital issued. These must be registered according to IAS 32 and IAS 39. Identifiable purchased assets and assumed liabilities will be initially measured at fair value. The acquirer shall recognised goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (i) over (ii) below:
In the case that (ii) exceeds (i), a difference must be registered as a gain.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding between 20% and 50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill. Future impairments of goodwill will be adjusted against the carrying amount of investments The Group's share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, in the "Gain/(losses) in associates" account, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The carrying amount is also adjusted by dividends received. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligation on behalf of the associate, in this case the liabilities will be recorded in a "Provisions" account.
Consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros. Euro is the legal currency of CORTICEIRA AMORIM, S.G.P.S., S.A., and is the currency in which two thirds of its business is made and so Euro is considered to be its functional and presentation currency.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to euros using year-end exchange rates. Net exchange differences arising from the different rates used in transactions and the rate used in its settlements is recorded in the income statement.
Assets and liabilities from non-euro subsidiaries are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rate, being its costs and gains from the income statement translated at the average exchange rate for the period / year.
Tangible fixed assets are originally their respective historical cost (including attributable expenses) or production cost, including, whenever applicable, interest costs incurred throughout the respective construction or start-up period, which are capitalised until the asset begins operating.
As part of the allocation of the fair value to the identifiable assets and liabilities in an acquisition process (IFRS 3), land and buildings of the subsidiaries as of January 1, 1991, were revalued by independent experts. Same procedure was followed for companies acquired later than that date.
Under IFRS 1, 16, and as of January 1, 2004, some of the relevant industrial equipment, fully, or in the near-term, depreciated, and of which is expected a medium or long term use, was subject to a revaluation process.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis, over the following years, which represent a reasonable estimate of the useful lives:
| Number of years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 to 50 |
| Plant machinery | 6 to 10 |
| Motor vehicles | 4 to 7 |
| Office equipment | 4 to 8 |
Depreciation is charged since the beginning of the financial year in which the asset is brought into use, except for big investment projects where depreciation begins with the start-up of production. The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
Current maintenance on repair expenses are charged to the actual income statement in which they occurred. Cost of operations that can extend the useful expected life of an asset, or from which are expected higher and significative future benefits, are capitalized.
An asset's carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount and charged to the income statement if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses and disposals are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to reserves.
Includes land and buildings not used in production.
In Business combinations before January 1, 2010, Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. If positive, will be included as an asset in the "goodwill" account. If negative, it will be registered as a gain for the period.
In Business combinations after January 1, 2010, Goodwill will be calculated as referred in b).
Goodwill will be tested annually for impairment; impairment losses will be charged to the income statement and, consequently, its carrying amount adjusted.
Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost or production cost and net realisable value. Acquisition cost includes direct and indirect expenses incurred in order to have those inventories at its present condition and place. Where the net realisable value is lower than production cost, an adjustment is made to reduce inventories to this lower value. This adjustment will be reversed or reduced whenever the impairment situation no longer takes place.
Year-end quantities are determined based on the accounting records, which are confirmed by the physical inventory taking regularly made by qualified staff. Raw materials, consumables and by-products are valued at weighted average cost, and finished goods and work-in-progress at the average production cost which includes direct costs and indirect costs incurred in production.
Trade and other receivables are registered initially at cost, adjusted for any subsequent impairment losses which will be charged to the income statement.
Medium and long-term receivables will be measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate of CORTICEIRA AMORIM for similar periods.
Cash includes cash in hand, deposits held at call in banks, time deposits and other no-risk short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, this caption includes Bank overdrafts.
Includes interest bearing loans amounts. Any costs attributable to the lender, will be deducted to the loan amount and charged, during its life, using the effective interest rate.
Interests are usually charged to the income statement as they occur. Interests arising from loans related with capital expenditure for periods longer than 12 months will be capitalised and charged to the specific asset under construction. Capitalisation will cease when the project is complete or suspended.
Except for companies included in groups of fiscal consolidation, income tax is calculated separately for each subsidiary, on the basis of its net result for the period adjusted according to tax legislation.
In the consolidated financial statements differences between the tax due for the current period and prior periods and the tax already paid or to be paid by each of the group companies are registered whenever it is likely that, on an individual company basis, a deferred tax will have to be paid or to be recovered in the foreseeable future (liability method).
CORTICEIRA AMORIM Portuguese employees benefit from the national welfare plan. Employees from foreign subsidiaries (about 25% of total CORTICEIRA AMORIM) or are covered exclusively by local national welfare plans or benefit from complementary plans, being it defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.
As for the defined contribution plans, contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation, less the fair value of plan assets, as calculated annually by pension fund experts.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses attributable to a large number of directors. These benefits are based on estimations that take in account the accomplishment of both individual goals and a preestablished CORTICEIRA AMORIM level of profits.
Provisions are recognised when CORTICEIRA AMORIM has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is more likely than not an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimation is possible.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Restructuring provisions are recognised with a formal detail plan and when third parties affected are informed.
Revenue comprises the value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and finished products. Revue is shown, net of value-added tax, returns, rebates, and discounts, including cash discounts. Revenue is also adjusted by any prior period's sales corrections.
Services rendered are immaterial and, generally, are refunds of costs related with finish product sales.
Sales revenue is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer and its amount can be reliably measured. Revenue receivable after one year will be discounted to its fair value.
Grants received are related generally with fixed assets expenditure. No-repayable grants are present in the balance sheet as deferred income, and recognised as income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the related asset. Repayable interest bearing grants are presented as interests bearing debt; if no-interest bearing, they are presented as "Other borrowings and creditors". Medium and long-term no-interest bearing repayable grants are presented with its net present value, using an interest discount rate similar to CORTICEIRA AMORIM interest bearing debt for same period.
When a contract indicates that the significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to CORTICEIRA AMORIM, leasing contracts will be considered as financial leases.
All other leasing contracts are treated as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement.
CORTICEIRA AMORIM uses derivatives financial instruments as forward and spot exchange rate contracts, options and swaps; these are intended to hedge its business financial risks and are not used for speculative purposes. CORTICEIRA AMORIM accounts for these instruments as hedge accounting, following all its standards. Dealing is carried out by a central treasury department (dealing room) on behalf of the subsidiaries, under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Derivatives are initially recorded at cost and subsequently re-measured at their fair value.
The method of recognising is as follows:
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges and that are expected to be highly effective, are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow edges and that are expected to be highly effective, are recognised in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
For the moment, CORTICEIRA AMORIM is not considering any foreign exchange hedge over its net investments in foreign units (subsidiaries).
CORTICEIRA AMORIM has fully identified the nature of its activities' risk exposure and documents entirely and formally each hedge; uses its information system to guarantee that each edge is supported by a description of: risk policy, purpose and strategy, classification, description of risk, identity of the instrument and of the risk item, description of initial measurement and future efficiency, identification of the possible derivative portion which will be excluded from the efficiency test. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or the forecasted transaction no longer remains highly provable or simply is abandoned, or the decision to consider the transaction as a hedge, the company will de-recognised the instrument.

Notes:
Adjustments = eliminations inter-BU and amounts not allocated to BU
EBIT =Profit before interests, minorities and income tax.
Provisions and asset impairments were considered the only relevant material cost.
Segments assets do not include DTA (deferred tax asset) and non-trade group balances.
Segments liabilities do not include DTL (deferred tax liabilities), bank loans and non-trade group balances.
The decision to report EBIT figures allows a better comparison of the different BU performances, disregarding the different financial situations of each BU. This is also coherent with the existing Corporate Departments, as the Financial Department is responsible for the bank negotiations, being the tax function the responsibility of the Holding Company.
