New syndicated revolving credit facility
On 5 February 2020 Marel signed a new syndicated revolving credit facility of EUR 700.0 million. This new credit facility replaced the previous syndicated loan facility and gives Marel strategic and operational flexibility to support its 2026 strategic vision for further growth and value creation. The new credit facility includes a sustainability linked incentive structure, whereby the Company undertakes to meet a set of sustainability key performance indicators ("KPIs"). This supports Marel's strong commitment to fulfilling its vision of a world where quality food is produced in a sustainable and affordable way.
Share buyback program
On 10 March 2020 the Board of Directors of Marel decided to initiate a new share buyback program for up to 25,000,000 shares in the Company, or about 3.2% of the total issued share capital in the Company. The purpose of the buyback program is to reduce the Company's share capital and to meet the Company's obligations under share incentive programs with employees.
The buyback program complies with the provisions of the Icelandic Act on Securities Transactions No. 108/2007, the appendix to the Icelandic Regulation on Insider Information and Market Manipulation No. 630/2005, Regulation No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse, and the Commission's delegated regulation 2016/1052.

Note 2 Basis of preparation and use of judgements and estimates
Base of preparation
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are for the three-month period ended 31 March 2020 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group for the period ended 31 December 2019 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Austurhraun 9, Garðabær, Iceland or at www.marel.com.

However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
COVID-19 could have a significant impact on the estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. At the moment it is not known what the full economic impact of COVID-19 will be on Marel. Marel enjoys a balanced exposure to global economies and local markets through its global reach, innovative product portfolio and diversified business mix. Marel is committed to achieve its mid- and long term growth targets.
The estimates and assumptions that are affected by COVID-19 and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the current financial year are discussed below.
The remaining significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future period affected. The estimates and assumptions made by the Group concerning the future are uncertain and the actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimated impairment
The Group annually tests whether the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill, were impaired in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. COVID-19 classifies as such an impairment indicator and therefore the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill, were tested for impairment. The recoverable amounts of CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculation. These calculations require the use of estimates. For further information refer to note 15.
The recoverability of the capitalized development costs was also tested for impairment, to verify if expected future economic benefits justify the values captured in the intangible fixed assets. The Group uses discounted cash flow analysis for this purpose. For further information refer to note 16.
Expected Credit Losses
Under IFRS 9, loss allowances are measured based on the Expected Credit Losses ("ECL") that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The estimated ECL were calculated based on actual credit loss experience over the past five years. As a result of COVID-19, Marel reassessed the ECL used in calculating its loss allowances. Based on the industry which Marel operates in and current market insights, it is expected that impairment losses will remain at similar limited levels as they are currently going forward. The Group takes a holistic view of its financial assets and applies the same expected credit loss rate over all trade receivables.
Deferred income taxes
As of each period-end, the Group evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets, based on projected future taxable profits. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, Marel believes it is probable the Group will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. As future developments are uncertain and partly beyond Marel's control, assumptions are necessary to estimate future taxable profits as well as the period in which deferred tax assets will recover. Estimates are revised in the period in which there is sufficient evidence to revise the assumption. For further information refer to note 19.

Note 3 Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied and described in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
Note 4 Financial management
The Company's policy is to finance its operations in its revenue currencies. More than 99% of Marel's revenues originate outside of Iceland and there is a good currency balance between the Company's revenues and costs. Efforts have been made to systematically reduce currency risk in the Company's financing and to reduce interest cost.
Marel has two main funding facilities:
Schuldschein promissory notes
On 7 December 2018 Marel finalized an issue of Schuldschein promissory notes for EUR 140 million. The investors were a mixture of Central European and Asian commercial banks. The notes were split in 5 and 7 year terms and a mixture of fixed and floating rates:
- EUR 8.5 million at 1.83% fixed interest for 7 years.
- EUR 15.5 million at 1.366% fixed interest for 5 years.
- EUR 106.0 million with floating EURIBOR rate and 1.1% margin for 5 years.
- EUR 10.0 million with floating EURIBOR rate and 1.3% margin for 7 years.
The floating rate tranches include a 0% floor on the 6 month EURIBOR. At inception of the loan, the 0% floor did not have an intrinsic value and is not separated from the original contract in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Syndicated revolving credit facility
On 5 February 2020 Marel signed a syndicated revolving credit facility of EUR 700.0 million with seven leading international banks: ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Danske Bank, HSBC, ING Bank, Rabobank and UniCredit. The facility is based on investment-grade Loan Market Association documentation.
This new credit facility replaced the previous syndicated loan facility.
The key elements of the syndicated revolving credit facility are:
- The term of the EUR 700.0 million syndicated revolving credit facility is for five years with two one-year extension options with final maturity in February 2027 if utilized.
- Interest terms are EURIBOR/LIBOR +80bp and will vary in line with Marel's leverage ratio (Net debt/EBITDA) and the facility utilization level.
- The credit facility includes a sustainability linked incentive structure where Marel agrees to meet a set of sustainability KPIs. Based on the extent to which the KPIs are met, Marel will either receive a margin reduction up to 0.025% or increase of 0.025%.
The facility includes a 0% interest floor for LIBOR/EURIBOR. At inception of the loan, the 0% floor did not have an intrinsic value and is not separated from the original contract in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Group has a financing structure which can accommodate the Group's financing requirements until 2027 and will give Marel strategic and operational flexibility to support its 2026 strategic vision for further growth and value creation.
Marel drew EUR 600.0 million from its syndicated revolving credit facility in the quarter as a precautionary measure to increase its flexibility and ability to react to unforeseen future business needs. Marel will periodically review the need to keep the EUR 600.0 million drawn on the revolver and repay in part or in full as the Company deems appropriate, in line with the terms of the syndicated revolving credit facility.

Note 5 Business combinations
Under IFRS 3, up to one year from the acquisition date, the initial accounting for business combinations needs to be adjusted to reflect additional information that has been received about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and would have affected the measurement of amounts recognized as of that date. As a result of such adjustments the values of assets and liabilities recognized may change in the one-year period from the acquisition date.
Acquisition Cedar Creek Company
On 15 November 2019, Marel concluded the acquisition of a number of business assets and liabilities from Cedar Creek Company (Australia) Pty Ltd. and Cedar Creek Company (NZ) Ltd. ("Cedar Creek"). This transaction is in line with Marel's strategic objective to be a leading global provider of advanced processing equipment, systems, software and services to the poultry, meat and fish industries.
Cedar Creek offers specialized software solutions that integrate on-floor processing data capture, production control, head office reporting and traceability throughout production. Cedar Creek has built long-standing relationships with some of the largest meat and poultry processors in Australia and New Zealand. The transaction will strengthen Marel's presence in Australia and New Zealand. Cedar Creek has annual revenues of around EUR 3 million.
Closing of the transaction was subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction was funded from cash on hand and available facilities.
In accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations the purchase price of Cedar Creek is allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.
Immediately after the acquisition date the Purchase Price Allocation ("PPA") activities started. The process is still ongoing and is expected to be finished in the first half of 2020. As a consequence
all of the numbers recorded for the acquisition are provisional.
Provisional goodwill amounted to EUR 1.4 million, is allocated to the meat segment and is primarily related to the strategic (and cultural) fit of Cedar Creek and Marel with an experienced and capable workforce, highly complementary software and hardware solutions, and geographic presence. The goodwill is under certain conditions, deductible for income tax purposes.
The impact of the valuation of property, plant and equipment, and as a consequence the impact on intangible assets and goodwill, is described in note 13, note 15 and note 16 and is included in the numbers as presented below.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Cedar Creek and the recognized provisional amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date being 15 November 2019.
| 15 November 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment | 0.0 |
| Intangible assets | 1.8 |
| Inventories | 0.4 |
| Trade receivables, current and non-current | 0.4 |

| Trade and other payables | 0.0 |
| Liabilities assumed | 0.0 |
| Total net identified assets | 2.6 |
| Consideration transferred | 4.0 |
| Provisional goodwill on acquisition | 1.4 |
Since the PPA process is not yet finalized, no PPA related costs are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Note 6 Non-IFRS measurement
Reconciliation of non-IFRS information
In this note to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Marel presents certain financial measures when discussing Marel's performance that are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS ("non-IFRS"). Non-IFRS measures do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and not all companies calculate non-IFRS measures in the same manner or on a consistent basis. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies that have the same or similar names.
Management presents adjusted result from operations as a performance measure because it monitors this performance measure at a consolidated level and believes that this measure is relevant to an understanding of the Group's financial performance. Adjusted result from operations is calculated by adjusting result from operations to exclude the impact of PPA related costs (consisting of depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related (in)tangible assets). No other adjustments are included in adjusted result from operations.
The reconciliation of adjusted result from operations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, result from operations, is included in the following table.

Note 7 Segment information
Operating segments
The identified operating segments comprise the three industries, which are the reporting segments. These operating segments form the basis for managerial decision taking. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group's reportable segments:
- Poultry processing: Our poultry processing product range offers integrated systems for processing broilers, turkeys and ducks.
- Meat processing: Our meat industry specializes in the key processes of slaughtering, deboning and trimming, and case ready food service for processing pork, beef, veal and sheep.
- Fish processing: Marel provides advanced equipment and systems for salmon and whitefish processing, both farmed and wild, on-board and on-shore.
- The 'Others' segment includes any revenues, result from operations and assets which do not belong to the three core industries.
The reporting entities are reporting their revenues per operating segment based on the industry for which the customer is using Marel's product range. Therefore inter-segment revenues do not exist, only intercompany revenues within the same segment.
Results are monitored and managed at the operating segment level, up to the adjusted result from operations. Adjusted result from operations is used to measure performance as management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective Marel segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.
The Group's CEO reviews the internal management reports of each segment on a monthly basis. Fluctuations between quarters are mainly due to timing of receiving and delivery of orders, margin on projects and business mix. Decisions on tax and financing structures including cash and cash equivalents are taken at a corporate level, therefore no financial income and expenses nor tax are allocated to the operating segments. The profit or loss per operating segment is the adjusted result from operations (before PPA related costs including depreciation and amortization of acquisition-related (in)tangible assets); finance costs and taxes are reported in the column total.
Intercompany transactions are entered at arm's length terms and conditions comparable to those available to unrelated parties. Information on assets per operating segment is reported; however, decisions on liabilities are taken at a corporate level and as such are not included in this disclosure.

Revenues
The Group's revenue is derived from contracts with customers. Within the segments and within the operating companies, Marel is not relying on any individual major customers.
Disaggregation of revenue
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by primary geographical markets (revenue is allocated based on the country where the customer is located):
| YTD | YTD | |

| Contract assets | 42.3 | 38.3 |
| Contract liabilities | (229.1) | (217.5) |
The contract assets (cost exceed billing) primarily relate to the Group's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting
date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group issues an invoice to the customer.
The contract liabilities (billing exceed cost) primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for standard equipment for which revenue is recognized at a point in time and for the sale of complete solutions or systems for which revenue is recognized over time.
No information is provided about remaining performance obligations at 31 March 2020 that have an original expected duration of one year or less, as allowed by IFRS 15.

|---|---|---|
| Current tax | (4.9) | (11.8) |
| Deferred tax | 0.5 | 2.9 |
| (4.4) | (8.9) |
Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit (loss) before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements may differ from the effective tax rate for the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
The tax on the Group's profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated companies as shown in the table below.
The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax laws and prior experience.
In December 2019, a new corporate tax law was enacted in the Netherlands. Consequently, the reduction in corporate tax rate as approved by the Dutch Government in 2018 was delayed by a year and the rate will only be reduced from 25.0% to 21.7% as of 2021.

Note 12 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to Shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | YTD | YTD |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| Net result attributable to Shareholders (EUR millions) | 13.4 | 32.2 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares in issue (millions) | 759.7 | 664.1 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | 1.76 | 4.85 |
As a result of the dual listing on the Euronext the weighted average number of outstanding shares issued increased from 664.1 million shares at 31 March 2019 to 759.7 million shares at 31 March 2020.
The diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: stock options. For the stock options a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding stock options. The weighted average number of outstanding shares is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the stock options.

Impairment testing
The Group tested at the end of 2019 whether goodwill had suffered any impairment. The conclusion was there were no triggers indicating that impairment was necessary. At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. COVID-19 classifies as such an impairment indicator and therefore the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill, were tested for impairment at the end of Q1 2020.
The goodwill is tested for impairment at the level of the CGUs. For Marel, the CGUs are based on the market oriented business model, poultry, meat and fish, in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Poultry, meat and fish serve the customer needs in primary, secondary and further processing. Only at the level of the operating segments the connection can be made between the businesses for which the goodwill was originally paid and the results of the synergies after the acquisitions.
The impairment test includes property, plant and equipment, right of use assets, goodwill, other intangible assets and net working capital allocated to CGUs to determine the final recoverable amount.
The purpose of impairment testing is to determine whether the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the above mentioned assets. The recoverable amount of an operating segment is determined as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from a CGU, based on amongst others:
- The estimated future cash flows that the Group expects the CGU to earn.
- Possible variations in the amount or timing of those future cash flows.
- The time value of money, which is reflected by using a discount rate based on the current market risk-free rate of interest.
- The price for the uncertainty inherent in the CGU.
The sales growth rates and margins used to estimate future cash flows are based on management estimates that take into account past performance and experience, external market growth assumptions and industry long term averages. The weighted growth rate for the period 2021 to 2024 of forecast cash flows is between 5% and 7% for all CGUs, which is management's best estimate. These growth rates are in line with external market predictions of the worldwide industry for providing equipment and solutions for the protein industry as well. Revenues, operating results and cash flows beyond the 5 year forecast period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates of 1.9% (31 December 2019: 1.9%) as shown in the table on the next page. The time value of money and price of uncertainty, calculated as the Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("WACC"), are based on external market information about market risk, interest rates and some CGU specific elements like country risk. The post-tax discount rate is calculated at CGU level and is in the range of 7.5% - 7.8% (31 December 2019: 6.6% - 7.0%) for all CGUs. The pre-tax discount rate for the three CGUs is calculated in the range of 9.1% - 9.6% (31 December 2019: 7.9% - 8.5%).
Key assumptions used in the impairment tests for the segments were sales growth rates, EBITDA and the rates used for discounting the projected cash flows. These cash flow projections were determined using managements' internal forecasts that cover an initial period from 2020. Projections were extrapolated with stable growth rates for a period of 4 years, after which a terminal value was calculated. For terminal value calculation, the terminal growth rate was determined based on
Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 31 March 2020
iMareI
management's estimate of the long-term compound annual EBITDA growth rate, consistent with the assumptions that a market participant would make.
The sales growth rates and EBITDA used to estimate cash flows are based on past performance, external market growth assumptions and industry long-term
growth averages. EBITDA in all segments mentioned in this note is expected to increase over the projected period as a result of volume growth and cost efficiencies.
The key assumptions used for the impairment tests are listed below.
| 31/03 2020 | Poultry | Meat | Fish | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | 329.2 | 285.7 | 29.2 | 644.1 |
| Infinite Intangible assets | - | - | - | - |

| Discount rate (post-tax) | 6.7% | 7.0% | 6.6% | 6.8%^{2)} |
1) Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond strategic plan period.
2) Discount rate applied to the cash flow projections.
The goodwill impairment test performed show that there is sufficient headroom and that there are no triggers indicating that impairment is necessary. For all three operating segments the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount by a substantial amount.
Sensitivity tests were performed for growth assumptions (a 50% reduction of the sales growth rate), adjusted EBITDA margin development assumptions (a 1% percentage decrease in EBITDA)
and for the WACC (a 1% increase in WACC). All sensitivity tests showed that the conclusions would not have been different if significant adverse changes in key parameters had been assumed.
The market capitalization of Marel at 31 March 2020 amounted to EUR 2.7 billion (31 December 2019: EUR 3.5 billion) and was clearly above the carrying amount of net assets, thus providing an additional indication that goodwill was not impaired.

Impairment testing
The Group tested at the end of 2019 whether indefinite intangible assets had suffered any impairment. The conclusion was there were no triggers indicating that impairment was necessary. Marel updated the impairment test to reflect current market expectations. Based on this updated impairment test, there is no reason to deviate from the conclusions taken at year-end 2019.
Note 17 Investments in associates
The investments in associates relate to a $14.3\%$ interest in the Canadian software company Worximity Technology ("Worximity") and a $50\%$ stake in the Iceland based company Curio ehf. ("Curio").
Although Marel holds less than $20\%$ of the voting rights in Worximity, Marel determined it has significant influence because it has meaningful representation on the board.
Marel will invest an additional CAD 2.5 million in new share capital in Worximity in the next three months, bringing Marel's total ownership to $25.0\%$ .
On 22 October 2019, Marel has entered into an agreement to acquire a $50\%$ stake in Curio. On 8 November 2019, the first phase of the transaction was finalized as closing conditions were satisfied. Marel acquired $39.3\%$ of the total share capital of Curio. On 1 January 2021, Marel will acquire an additional $10.7\%$ of the share capital bringing Marel's total share in Curio as of 1 January 2021 to $50\%$ . Marel has an option to acquire the remaining $50\%$ of shares in four years.

Share capital
On 7 June 2019, Marel began trading on Euronext, marking the dual listing of Marel on both Nasdaq and Euronext. A total of 100.0 million ordinary shares of ISK 1 each were issued and sold, increasing the Company's share capital from 671.0 million shares to 771.0 million shares.
During the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 6 March 2019 the proposal to reduce the Company's share capital by 11.6 million shares, from 682.6 million shares to 671.0 million shares, was approved. The reduction was executed by way of cancelling 11.6 million of the Company's own shares of ISK 1 each, in accordance with the provisions of the Icelandic Act No. 2/1995 on Public Limited Companies. The Company's share capital was reduced in connection with the preparation of the dual listing of the Company, for the benefit of shareholders. Marel's Articles of Association were changed accordingly.
The total authorized number of ordinary shares on the Nasdaq and Euronext exchanges is 771.0 million (31 December 2019: 771.0 million) with a par value of ISK 1 per share. All issued shares are fully paid.
Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at shareholders meetings of the Company. Shareholders who hold shares in Marel on Nasdaq and Euronext have identical voting rights and the same rights to dividends. All rights attached to the Company's treasury shares are suspended until those shares are sold again.
Dividends
In March 2020 a dividend of EUR 43.9 million (EUR 5.79 cents per share) was declared for the operational year 2019 of which EUR 38.1 million will be paid in Q2 2020 and EUR 5.8 million in Q3 2020 (in 2019, a dividend of EUR 36.7 million (EUR 5.57 cents per share) was declared and paid for the operational year 2018).
Share premium reserve
The share premium reserve comprises of payment in excess of par value of ISK 1 per share that shareholders have paid for shares sold by the Company, less payments in excess of par value that the Company has paid for treasury shares. According to the Icelandic Companies Act, 25% of the nominal value share capital must be held in reserve which cannot be paid out as dividend to shareholders. Marel is compliant with this requirement.
As a result of the dual listing, shareholders' equity increased by EUR 370.0 million of which share premium increased by EUR 369.2 million. Total gross transaction costs amounted to EUR 17.8 million. Transaction costs net of tax of EUR 14.2 million are deducted from the share premium reserve.

Limitation in the distribution of Shareholders' equity
As at 31 March 2020, pursuant to Icelandic law, certain limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders' equity. Such limitations relate to legal reserves required by Icelandic law included under retained earnings for capitalized intangible assets related to product development projects and for legal reserves relating to any legal or economic restrictions to the ability of affiliated companies to transfer funds to the parent company in the form of dividends.
The legal reserve included under retained earnings for capitalized intangible assets related to product development projects amounted to EUR 73.7 million as at 31 March 2020 (31 December 2019: EUR 71.6 million).
Since the profits retained in Marel hf.'s subsidiaries can be distributed and received in Iceland, no legal reserve for any legal or economic restrictions to the ability of affiliated companies to transfer funds to the parent company in the form of dividends is required.
The amount of the legal reserve for the share of profit of affiliates is reduced by dividends received from those companies and those dividends from them which can be claimed. Therefore Marel could, based on its control as the parent company, decide to let its subsidiaries pay dividends. The dividends would lower the amount of legal reserves within equity and therefore leave more room for Marel to make dividend payments to its shareholders. The new provision of the act does not prevent Marel from making dividend payments to its shareholders in 2020 since the Company has sufficient retained earnings from previous years.
The legal reserves as required by Icelandic law are required as of effective date 1 January 2016.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests ("NCI") relate to minority shares held by third parties in consolidated Group companies. The net income attributable to NCI amounted to EUR 0.0 million for the three-month period in 2020 (31 March 2019: EUR 0.0 million).
The NCI relates to MPS France S.A.R.L., France, in which the managing director of MPS France holds an ownership percentage of 24%.

Note 25 Financial instruments and risks
Risk management framework
The main financial risks faced by Marel relate to market risk and liquidity risk. Market risk comprises foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies and with instruments approved by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group's operating units. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The credit quality of the customer is assessed, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Each customer has a set credit limit and the utilization of the credit limit is regularly monitored.
No significant credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and products are not delivered until payments are secured. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. COVID-19 is not expected to have a substantial impact on the credit risk of the Group.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and committed credit

facilities to give reasonable operating headroom. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
The Group has EUR 700.0 million of committed ancillary facilities, which can be used both as a revolver and to issue guarantees for down payments. The Group drew EUR 600.0 million on the syndicated revolving credit facility (31 December 2019: EUR 0.0 million), and issued guarantees for EUR 33.3 million (31 December 2019: EUR 45.6 million) therefore the total usage is EUR 633.3 million (31 December 2019: EUR 45.6 million), leaving a headroom of EUR 66.7 million (31 December 2019: EUR 277.4 million). All facilities are subject to operational and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position covenants (interest cover and leverage). At 31 March 2020 there is sufficient headroom.
At 31 March 2020, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 695.1 million (31 December 2019: EUR 303.7 million).
Interest-rate swap
To protect Marel from fluctuations in EURIBOR-EUR-Reuters/LIBOR-BBA ("British Bankers Association") and in accordance with the interest hedge policy Marel has entered into interest rate swaps (the hedging instruments) to receive floating interest and to pay fixed interest. This is in line with Marel's risk management policy to have 50 - 70% of core debt fixed for 3 - 5 years.
The notional principal amount of the outstanding active interest rate swap contracts at 31 March 2020 was EUR 284.2 million (31 December 2019: EUR 282.5 million).

Note 26 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
At 31 March 2020 the Group had contingent liabilities in respect of bank and other guarantees and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business from which it is anticipated that no material liabilities will arise. In the ordinary course of business the Group has given guarantees amounting to EUR 95.7 million (31 December 2019: EUR 82.4 million) to third parties.
Legal proceedings
As part of doing business and acquisitions the Group is involved in claims and litigations, under such indemnities and guarantees. These claims are pending and all are contested. Provisions are recognized when an outflow of economic benefits for settlement is probable and the amount can be estimated reliably. It should be understood that, in light of possible future developments, such as (a) potential additional lawsuits, (b) possible future settlements, and (c) rulings or judgments in pending lawsuits, certain cases may result in additional liabilities and related costs.
At this point in time, we cannot estimate any additional amount of loss or range of loss in excess of the recorded amounts with sufficient certainty to allow such amount or range of amounts to be meaningful. Moreover, if and to the extent that the contingent liabilities materialize, they are often resolved over a number of years and the timing of such payments cannot be predicted with confidence. While the outcome of said cases, claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based upon legal advice and information received, that the final outcome will not materially affect our consolidated financial position but could be material to our results from operations or cash flows in any one accounting period.
Environmental remediation
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may be required to remediate the effects of certain incidents on the environment.
Note 27 Related party transactions
At 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019 there are no loans to the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO. In addition, there were no transactions carried out (purchases of goods and services) between the Group and members of the
Board of Directors nor the CEO in the three-month period ended 31 March 2020 and the year 2019.
The Group has an outstanding loan to Curio for EUR 1.0 million (31 December 2019: EUR 0.0 million).
