The Board of Directors' and CEO's Report
Marel is a leading global provider of advanced processing equipment, systems, software and services to the poultry, meat and fish industries. Marel has a global reach with local presence in over 30 countries, with sales and service engineers servicing customers in over 140 countries.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 comprise the financial statements of Marel hf. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group" or "Marel"). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understand the changes in the Group's financial position and performance from year end 2020.
COVID-19
Marel is a critical infrastructure company for the poultry, meat and fish processing industry. Marel's focus during COVID-19 is on keeping its employees and customers safe, while maintaining productivity of all manufacturing sites. Marel reorganized its manufacturing sites ensuring all sites remained open, although operating at below historical and targeted utilization rates. By systematically building up safety stock of spare parts across locations and having local presence in more than 30 countries, Marel managed to maintain good levels of delivery performance despite a challenging environment.
COVID-19 has had an impact on Marel's results in 2021. There was a global peak in the pandemic resulting in significant lockdowns and logistical challenges, which led to inefficiencies in manufacturing and higher costs for service operations and logistics. Despite positive developments in Q2 2021 in parts of the world following the introduction of vaccines, the infectious Delta variant has affected the recovery of the global economy.
In Q3 2021, Marel has been impacted by an imbalance between supply and demand for electronic components and other raw materials, resulting in an increase in prices and delivery times. It is expected the supply chain and logistics challenges will continue to have an impact on Marel's operations. To mitigate the impact, Marel
is working with its highly talented team and partners around the world to resolve imbalances; innovation and agility in ways of working is critical. Marel's highest priority remains to deliver to our customers the right quality, at the right time.
Marel enjoys a balanced exposure to global economies and local markets through its global reach, innovative product portfolio and diversified business mix. There is clear demand for increased automation. Marel's balance sheet and cash flow remain strong.
Operations in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021
The consolidated revenues for Marel for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 are EUR 993.4 million (2020: EUR 894.5 million). The adjusted result from operations for the same period is EUR 112.6 million or 11.3% of revenues (2020: EUR 114.5 million or 12.8% of revenues).
The bridge between adjusted result from operations and result from operations as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Income is as follows:
| YTD 2021 | YTD 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted result from operations1 | 112.6 | 114.5 |
| Non-IFRS adjustments | (18.1) | (7.9) |
| Result from operations | 94.5 | 106.6 |
1 Result from operations is adjusted for PPA related costs, including depreciation and amortization, and as of Q4 2020, acquisition related expenses.
At 30 September 2021 the Company's order book amounted to EUR 527.8 million (31 December 2020: EUR 415.7 million). Orders received for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 amounted to EUR 1,101.3 million (2020: EUR 914.4 million). EUR 4.2 million order book was acquired in 2021 as part of the acquisition of Curio and PMJ.
Net cash from operating activities for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 is EUR 132.6 million (2020: EUR 147.2 million). The decrease in net cash from operating activities is mainly due to less favorable movements in working capital including strategic buildup of inventory to ensure timely delivery to customers.
Capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 are EUR 50.3 million (2020: EUR 46.5 million). Marel is stepping up in market coverage and focusing on important initiatives to automate and digitize our manufacturing platform,
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
supply chain and aftermarket business to create more agility and flexibility in our operations ahead of the anticipated growth curve. Further step up in capital expenditures is expected.
At 30 September 2021, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 66.2 million (31 December 2020: EUR 78.6 million). Net interest bearing debt decreased from EUR 205.2 million at the end of 2020 to EUR 186.6 million as per 30 September 2021.
Based on the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting resolution, a dividend of EUR 41.0 million (EUR 5.45 cents per share) was declared for the operational year 2020. This corresponds to approximately 40% of net result for the operational year 2020. The dividend was fully paid in Q2 2021 (in 2020: a dividend of EUR 43.9 million, EUR 5.79 cents per share, corresponding to 40% of net result for the year 2019, was declared and paid out to shareholders for the operational year 2019).
Acquisitions in 2021
On 4 January 2021, Marel invested EUR 2.6 million in Curio ehf. ("Curio") for an additional 10.7% of the share capital bringing Marel's total share to 50.0%. Following this additional investment, Marel has assessed that it has control of Curio as it holds 50.0% of the shares and is entitled to appoint a majority of Curio's Board of Directors, including the Chairman. Curio's results are consolidated into the Group's results as per 2021. Curio's complimentary product portfolio of deheading, filleting and skinning solutions brings Marel closer to becoming a full-line provider to the global fish industry. Further information is provided in note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
On 21 January 2021, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of Poultry Machinery Joosten B.V. ("PMJ"). PMJ is at the forefront of duck and goose processing solutions and services. PMJ's complementary product portfolio of primary processing, including waxing and automated evisceration, will make Marel the industry's only full-line provider of duck processing solutions. Further information is provided in note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
On 5 July 2021, Marel announced it entered into an agreement to acquire Valka ehf. ("Valka"), an Icelandic provider of advanced processing solutions for the global fish industry. Valka is a highly innovative player in the whitefish and salmon processing industries. Together, Marel and Valka will be in a stronger position to transform the fish processing industry in partnership with customers. An agreement has been reached to acquire over 90% of the share capital of Valka, and the remaining shareholders will be offered to sell their shares at the same terms.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including anti-trust approval and is expected to be completed later this year.
Investments in 2021
On 29 January 2021, Marel acquired a 40.0% interest in Stranda Prolog ("Stranda"), a Norwegian provider of salmon processing solutions. The transaction is in line with Marel's strategic objective to be a full-line supplier of advanced food processing solutions, software and services to the fish, meat and poultry industries. Stranda's complementary product portfolio for primary salmon processing and aquaculture solutions will bring Marel closer to becoming a full-line provider to the global salmon industry. Further information is provided in note 16 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 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 2020. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group for the period ended 31 December 2020 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Austurhraun 9, Gardabaer, Iceland or at www.marel.com.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. 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.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the valuation of financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) which are valued at fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Items of each entity in the Group, as included in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity ("the functional currency"). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Group's reporting currency.
Use of judgments and estimates
In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments 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 Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
COVID-19 could have a significant impact on the estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. COVID-19 is expected to continue to have an impact in 2021, although it is not known what the full economic impact of COVID-19 on Marel will be. 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 most likely affected by COVID-19 are:
- Estimated impairment;
- Expected Credit Losses; and
- Deferred income taxes.
For each of these estimates and assumptions, additional analyses and/or tests were done in 2020 to confirm if they were materially impacted by COVID-19. The results of these tests were that no material impact was found. The impact of COVID-19 on these estimates and assumptions did not materially change in 2021 and as such there is no reason to deviate from the conclusions taken at year end 2020. For further information refer to notes 14, 15, 17 and 18.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
Estimated impairment
The Group annually tests whether the financial and non-financial assets, including goodwill and capitalized development costs, 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. The impact of COVID-19 on the estimates and underlying assumptions used in the annual impairment test did not materially change in 2021 and as such, there is no reason to deviate from the conclusions taken at year end 2020.
Expected Credit Losses
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.
Income taxes and deferred income taxes
As of each period-end, the Group evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets, based on projected future taxable profits. Based on 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.
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 2020.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
4 Business combinations
Under IFRS 3, up to one year from the acquisition date, the initial accounting for business combinations is to be adjusted to reflect new 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.
Curio
On 4 January 2021, Marel purchased an additional 10.7% stake in Curio for a cash consideration of ISK 408.0 million (EUR 2.6 million), bringing Marel's total share to 50.0%. As of 4 January 2021, Marel has assessed that it has control of Curio as it is entitled to appoint a majority of Curio's Board of Directors, including the Chairman. Curio's results are consolidated into the Group's results as per 2021. The remaining 50.0% of the shares in Curio continues to be held by Gullmolar ehf., Marel has an option to acquire the remaining 50.0% of shares within three years;
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
a liability for the option has been recorded in non-current other payables.
Provisional goodwill amounted to EUR 3.7 million and is allocated to the fish segment. The resulting goodwill from this acquisition is primarily related to the strategic (and cultural) fit of Curio and Marel with a highly complementary product portfolio to Marel's existing portfolio of fish processing solutions. Marel elected to measure the non-controlling interest in Curio at the proportionate share of Curio's identifiable net assets.
PMJ
On 21 January 2021, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of PMJ, including all relevant business activities of the group. PMJ's complementary product portfolio of primary processing, including waxing and automated evisceration, will make Marel the industry's only full-line provider of duck processing solutions. PMJ has 40 employees and is located in Opmeer in the Netherlands. PMJ's annual revenues are around EUR 5.0 million. Closing was subject to standard closing conditions. The purchase consideration was paid with EUR 12.4 million in cash. The acquisition was financed through Marel's strong cash position and existing credit facilities.
Provisional goodwill amounted to EUR 6.7 million and is allocated to the poultry segment. The resulting goodwill from this acquisition is primarily related to the strategic (and cultural) fit of PMJ and Marel with a highly complementary product portfolio in the duck processing industry.
Curio and PMJ contributed around EUR 7 million to revenues since their acquisition dates and affected adjusted result from operations negatively.
The goodwill for the Curio and PMJ acquisitions is not deductible for corporate income tax.
TREIF
In 2021, the purchase price allocation ("PPA") for TREIF Maschinenbau GmbH ("TREIF") was finalized. Compared to the provisional goodwill reported in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, it resulted in an allocation of EUR 1.2 million to inventories, a decrease of the purchase consideration of EUR 0.8 million and a decrease of the goodwill amount from EUR 36.7 million to EUR 34.7 million.
The goodwill for TREIF is tax deductible in Germany if certain conditions are met.
In Q2 2021, an amount of EUR 6.0 million was paid as part of the net working capital settlement. The remaining part is expected to be paid in Q4 2021.
The impact to Marel's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of acquisitions closed in 2021 and the changes to provisional accounting of acquisitions closed in 2020, is shown in the below table.

5 Non-IFRS measurement
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. The non-IFRS measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Management has presented 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) and acquisition related expenses. No other adjustments are included in adjusted result from operations.
In Q4 2020, Marel updated it's calculation method for the non-IFRS measurement. Previously, Marel adjusted result from operations to exclude the impact of PPA related costs. As of Q4 2020, Marel adjusted result from operations to exclude the impact of PPA related costs and acquisition related expenses. Acquisition related expenses include fees incurred as part of an acquisition process. This change is meant to increase transparency of one-off cost items related to acquisitions which do not impact the underlying performance of Marel's segments.
The reconciliation of adjusted result from operations to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, result from operations, is included in the following table.

6 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 full-line product range offers integrated systems, software and services for processing broilers, turkeys and ducks;
- Meat processing: Our meat industry is a full-line supplier for primary, secondary and further processing equipment, systems, software and services of pork, beef, veal and sheep;
- Fish processing: Marel provides advanced equipment, systems, software and services for processing salmon and whitefish, both farmed and wild, on-board and ashore; and
- The 'Other' 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 general economic developments, 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; 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.

7 Revenues
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):
| Revenue by geographical markets | YTD 2021 | YTD 2020 |

| Europe, Middle East and Africa^{1} | 500.0 | 502.6 |
| Americas | 351.6 | 293.2 |
| Asia and Oceania | 141.8 | 98.7 |
| Total | 993.4 | 894.5 |
1 Iceland accounts for EUR 8.1 million (2020: EUR 17.5 million).
In the following table revenue is disaggregated by equipment revenue (comprised of revenue from greenfield and large projects, standard equipment and modernization equipment) and aftermarket revenue (comprised of maintenance, service and spare parts).
| YTD | YTD | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue by business mix | 2021 | 2020 |
| Equipment revenue | 596.2 | 533.8 |
| Aftermarket revenue | 397.2 | 360.7 |
| Total | 993.4 | 894.5 |
Trade receivables and contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.
| Trade receivables and contract balances | 30/09 2021 | 31/12 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables | 153.8 | 151.3 |
| Contract assets | 57.8 | 46.1 |
| Contract liabilities | (286.8) | (236.6) |
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 30 September 2021 that have an original expected duration of one year or less, as allowed by IFRS 15.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
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 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 2020, a new corporate tax law was enacted in the Netherlands. Consequently, the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 25.0% to 21.7% as approved by the Dutch Government in 2019 is reversed and the Dutch income tax rate remains at 25.0%.
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 next table.

11 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.

(EUR cent per share) | YTD
2021 | YTD

| Weighted average number of
outstanding shares issued (millions) | 753.2 | 753.0 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent
per share) | 9.05 | 9.75 |
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 number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the stock options.

16 Investments in associates
The investments in associates relate to a 40.0% stake in Stranda, a Norwegian provider of salmon processing solutions and a 25.0% interest in the Canadian software company Worximity Technology ("Worximity").
On 29 January 2021, Marel acquired a 40.0% interest for an amount of EUR 8.6 million in Stranda.
On 19 June 2020, Marel invested an additional CAD 2.5 million (EUR 1.7 million) in Worximity, bringing Marel's total ownership from 14.3% to 25.0%.
As of 4 January 2021, Marel has assessed that it has control of Curio as it holds 50.0% of the shares and is entitled to appoint a majority of Curio's Board of Directors, including the Chairman. From that date, Curio's results are consolidated into the Group's results as per 2021 and no longer reported as an investment in associates. For further information refer to note 4.

| Recognized in other comprehensive income | 0.2 | (0.3) |
| At 30 September / 31 December | (70.2) | (71.6) |
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.
Deferred income taxes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are as follows:
| 30/09 | 31/12 | |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred income taxes | 2021 | 2020 |
| Deferred income tax assets | 14.8 | 13.3 |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | (85.0) | (84.9) |
| Total | (70.2) | (71.6) |
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The recoverability has been tested by the Group at the end of 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on the estimates and underlying assumptions used in these tests did not materially change in 2021 and as such, there is no reason to deviate from the conclusions taken at year end 2020.

Share capital
The total authorized number of ordinary shares on the Nasdaq and Euronext exchanges is 771.0 million (31 December 2020: 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
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
rights to dividends. All rights attached to the Company's treasury shares are suspended until those shares are sold again.
Dividends
In March 2021 a dividend of EUR 41.0 million (EUR 5.45 cents per share) was declared for the operational year 2020. This corresponds to approximately 40% of net result for the operational year 2020. The dividend was fully paid in Q2 2021 (in 2020, a dividend of EUR 43.9 million (EUR 5.79 cents per share) was declared and paid for the operational year 2019).
Share premium reserve
The share premium reserve is comprised of payments 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.
Other reserves
Other reserves in shareholder's equity include the following reserves:
- hedge reserve: comprises revaluations on derivatives, on which hedge accounting is applied. The value relates to derivatives for the Group, the interest rate swap contracts and the foreign exchange contracts; and
- translation reserve: comprises the translation results of the consolidation of subsidiaries reporting in foreign currencies, as well as a currency revaluation related to financing of subsidiaries.

| Balance at 31 December 2020 | 0.9 | (28.4) | (27.5) |
Other equity
Other equity includes the impact of the option to acquire the remaining shares of non-controlling interests. Currency revaluation related to this option is posted through other comprehensive income within other equity.
Limitation in the distribution of Shareholders' equity
As at 30 September 2021, 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 81.3 million as at 30 September 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 76.5 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 provision of the Icelandic Financial Statement Act No. 3/2006 does not prevent Marel from making dividend payments to its shareholders in 2021 as 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 relate to minority shares held by third parties in consolidated Group companies. The net result attributable to NCI amounted to a loss of EUR 0.5 million for the nine-month period in 2021 (30 September 2020: income of EUR 0.1 million).
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The NCI relates to Curio ehf., Iceland, in which Gullmolar ehf. holds an ownership percentage of 50.0% and to MPS France S.A.R.L., France, in which the managing director of MPS France holds an ownership percentage of 24.0%.

24 Financial instruments and risks
Risk management framework
The main financial risks faced by Marel relate to market risk and liquidity 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. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures and does not enter into financial contracts for speculative purposes.
The Group Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk comprises (a) foreign exchange risk, (b) interest rate risk and (c) credit risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to currency risk arising from mainly the USD, GBP, ISK and BRL, primarily with respect to the EUR, as the EUR is the Group's reporting currency. Financial exposure is hedged in accordance with the Group's general policy and within set limits. The Group monitors foreign exchange risk arising from commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities (transaction risk) that are determined in a currency other than the entity's functional currency. Derivative hedging is applied if the exposure is outside of the risk tolerance band on a consolidated basis. Generally Marel maintains a good natural hedge in its operations with a good match between revenues and costs in most currencies although less than 1% of revenues are denominated in ISK, while around 7% of costs are in ISK. In line with Marel's risk management policy beginning in Q4 2020, the Group hedges up to 80% of its estimated foreign currency exposure in ISK relating to forecasted transactions over the following 12 months. No other currency exposure is hedged.
(b) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The risk is managed by maintaining a mix between fixed and floating interest rates on borrowings.
Generally the Group raises long term borrowings and pays a floating interest rate. To hedge the resulting cash flow interest rate risk the Group uses interest rate swaps, where it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate. The floating rates are fixed on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that between 50 – 70% of its exposure to changes in interest rates on core debt is hedged with an interest rate swap with a maximum maturity of 5 years.
(c) 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.
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. No significant credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by its customers. COVID-19 has not caused a material impact on collections of trade receivables.
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 facilities, which can be used both as a revolver and to issue guarantees for down payments. As per 30 September 2021, the Group had drawn EUR 65.0 million on the syndicated revolving credit facility (31 December 2020: EUR 100.0 million), and issued guarantees for EUR 26.9 million (31 December 2020: EUR 32.2 million), therefore the total usage is EUR 91.9 million (31 December 2020: EUR 132.2 million), leaving a headroom of EUR 608.1 million (31 December 2020: EUR 567.8 million). All facilities are subject to operational and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position covenants (interest cover and leverage). At 30 September 2021 there is sufficient headroom.
At 30 September 2021, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 66.2 million (31 December 2020: EUR 78.6 million).
Marel has a strong cash position and sufficient headroom in its committed facilities and therefore, does not foresee additional liquidity risks despite the challenging environment due to COVID-19.
25 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
At 30 September 2021 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 40.7 million (31 December 2020: EUR 48.3 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 of 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.
26 Related party transactions
At 30 September 2021 and 31 December 2020 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 nine-month period ended 30 September 2021 and the year 2020.
27 Subsequent events
No significant events have taken place since the reporting date, 30 September 2021.
