The Board of Directors' and CEO's Report
Marel is a leading global provider of advanced solutions, software and services to food processing 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 2022 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 2021.
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 2021.
Operations in nine-month period ended 30 September 2022
The consolidated revenues for Marel for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 are EUR 1,219.5 million (2021: EUR 993.4 million). The adjusted result from operations for the same period is EUR 102.5 million or 8.4% of revenues (2021: EUR 112.6 million or 11.3% 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 | YTD | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Adjusted result from operations¹ | 102.5 | 112.6 |
| Non-IFRS adjustments | (43.6) | (18.1) |
| Result from operations | 58.9 | 94.5 |
¹ Result from operations is adjusted for PPA related costs, including depreciation and amortization and acquisition related expenses. In Q3 2022, result from operations is adjusted for restructuring costs due to the 5% headcount reduction.
At 30 September 2022 the Company's order book amounted to EUR 751.0 million (at 31 December 2021: EUR 569.0 million). Orders received for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 amounted to EUR 1,320.6 million (2021: EUR 1,101.3 million). EUR 80.9 million order book was acquired in 2022 from Wenger and Sleegers.
Net cash from operating activities for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 was EUR 25.7 million (2021: EUR 132.6 million). The decrease in net cash from operating activities is mainly due to a lower result from operations and unfavorable movements in working capital.
Capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 were EUR 68.0 million (2021: EUR 50.3 million). Ahead of the foreseen growth curve, Marel stepped up its focus on important initiatives to automate and digitize our manufacturing platform, supply chain and aftermarket business. Marel will continue to invest 4-5% of revenues in the period 2021-2026 with the objective to create a more scalable growth platform allowing for agility and flexibility of operations and to position the business for future growth.
At 30 September 2022, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 79.6 million (31 December 2021: EUR 77.1 million). Net interest-bearing debt increased from EUR 199.2 million at the end of 2021 to EUR 843.3 million as per 30 September 2022. In Q2 2022, the Group drew USD 530.0 million on its committed revolving facility in order to finance the Wenger acquisition. In addition, the Group utilized the full EUR 150.0 million bridge facility to provide operational liquidity. In Q2 2022, EUR 100.0 million was repaid on the revolving facility. In Q3 2022, the Group drew an additional net EUR 20.4 million on the revolving facility. The remaining increase in net interest-bearing debt in the quarter was due to FX volatility.
Based on the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting resolution, a dividend of EUR 38.7 million (EUR 5.12 cents per share) was declared and paid to the shareholders in Q1 2022 for the operational year 2021. This corresponds to approximately 40% of net result for the operational year 2021 (in 2021: a dividend of EUR 41.0 million, EUR 5.45 cents per share, corresponding to 40% of net result for the year 2020, was declared and paid out to shareholders for the operational year 2020).
Acquisitions in 2022
On 1 February 2022, Marel acquired an additional 50.0% of the share capital of Curio ehf. ("Curio") bringing Marel's total share to 100%. Curio and Marel have worked closely together since Marel's initial investment in Curio on 22 October 2019 and as such, Marel initiated the acquisition of the remaining shares ahead of the timing agreed in the put option.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
On 21 April 2022, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of Sleegers Techniek B.V. ("Sleegers"). Sleegers is a Dutch provider of interleaving, stacking, loading, and slicing solutions for food processors globally. The joint offering by the two companies will strengthen Marel's position in the case-ready and prepared foods segments.
On 9 June 2022, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of Wenger Manufacturing LLC ("Wenger"), including all relevant business activities of the group. Wenger is a global leader in processing solutions focused on pet food, plant-based proteins and aqua feed. The acquisition of Wenger is a platform investment into new and attractive growth markets where Wenger's industry-leading extrusion and dryer technologies forms the anchor point in a new segment in Marel's business model, plant pet and feed. As of Q3 2022, the revenues, results from operations and assets of Wenger are reported into this new segment, which also includes revenues that were historically reported under the other segment. The acquisition is fully in line with Marel's growth strategy and increased focus on adjacent markets.
Further information on acquisitions in 2022 is provided in note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
In relation to the Wenger acquisition, Marel signed a EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility in order to provide operational headroom. The facility was provided by BNP PARIBAS SA/NV, has up to a 2-year term and an initial interest rate of EURIBOR/SOFR + 50 bps margin. On 2 November 2022, Marel signed a new USD 300.0 million term loan which will be utilized to replace the EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility. Further information is provided in note 27 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
Stranda Prolog entered into insolvency proceedings
On 5 September 2022, the board of Stranda Prolog AS ("Stranda") filed for insolvency with Møre og Romsdal district court in Norway. As a result, an impairment loss on Marel's 40.0% stake in Stranda of EUR 7.0 million was recognized in the net result of the quarter.
Share buyback program
On 1 June 2022, the Board of Directors of Marel decided to initiate a share buyback program on Nasdaq Iceland for up to 4,000,000 shares, or about 0.52% of the total issued share capital in the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors of Marel decided to initiate a share buyback program on Euronext Amsterdam for up to 1,000,000 shares, or about 0.13% of the total issued share capital in the Company. The purpose of the buyback program was to meet the Company's obligations under share incentive programs with employees.
As part of the buyback program, Marel purchased 4.6 million shares (EUR 19.8 million) in the period 1 June 2022 to 2 September 2022. The buyback program on Nasdaq Iceland was in effect from 1 June 2022 and was discontinued after 1 July 2022, when the maximum number of shares to be purchased was reached. The buyback program on Euronext Amsterdam was in effect from 2 June 2022 until and including 2 September 2022 when the buyback program was ended.
Outlook
The demand for Marel's pioneering solutions has been strong since 3Q 2021 with orders above EUR 400 million. The need for automation and digitalization investments in food processing continues. Initially accelerated by the pandemic and the accompanying shift in market dynamics in today's inflationary environment, colored by labor scarcity and geopolitics, the need for further automation and sustainable use of raw materials, energy and water within food processing has become ever more pressing.
Market conditions remain challenging due to continued supply chain disruption and inflation at high levels resulting in inefficiencies in manufacturing and aftermarket, and higher costs associated with timely delivery. Marel is targeting a gradual build-up of revenues and operational performance in 2022-2023, based on a strong order book with better price/cost coverage in new orders. To drive the performance improvements needed to reach the 2026 growth targets, Marel is refining its operating model to foster customer-centricity, enhance end-to-end accountability and enable cross-business collaboration.
In Q2 2022, Marel revised its year-end 2023 financial target to a run-rate of 14-16% EBIT, from the previously stated 16%, allowing for 2% contingency buffer due to volatility in market conditions. Other 2023 financial targets are unchanged, gross profit of around 40%, SG&A of around 18% and innovation at the 6% strategic level.

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 2021.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
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 2021.
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.
Sleegers
On 21 April 2022, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of Sleegers, a Dutch provider of interleaving, stacking, loading, and slicing solutions for food processors globally. Sleegers was founded in 1993, has 27 employees and around EUR 5.0 million in annual revenues. The joint offering by the two companies will strengthen Marel's position in the case-ready and prepared foods segments. The purchase consideration was paid with EUR 12.9 million in cash. The acquisition was financed through Marel's strong cash position and existing credit facilities.
Provisional goodwill amounted to EUR 5.9 million is allocated to the meat and other segments and is primarily related to the strategic fit of Sleegers and Marel with a highly complementary product portfolio in the case-ready and prepared foods segments. The goodwill for the Sleegers acquisition is not deductible for corporate income tax.
Wenger
On 9 June 2022, Marel concluded the acquisition of the entire share capital of Wenger, including all relevant business activities of the group. The acquisition of Wenger is a platform investment into new and attractive growth markets where Wenger's industry-leading extrusion and dryer technologies forms the anchor point in a new segment in Marel's business model. Wenger shares Marel's passion for innovation and commitment to best-in-class products, backed by an experienced team, and long-standing partnerships with customers. The acquisition is fully in line with Marel's growth strategy and increased focus on adjacent markets.
Wenger is a global leader in processing solutions focused on pet food, plant-based proteins and aqua feed. Founded in 1935, Wenger is a family-owned business headquartered in Sabetha, Kansas, USA, has around 500 employees and revenues in 2022 are expected to be around USD 190.0 million.
Closing was subject to customary closing conditions, including anti-trust and approval of Wenger's shareholders. The purchase consideration includes a cash consideration of USD 521.6 million (EUR 487.1 million), 1.0 million Marel shares (EUR 4.2 million) and a cash contribution of USD 4.0 million (EUR 3.7 million) into a not-for-profit private foundation, to continue the legacy of Wenger and its meaningful impact on the community. The purchase consideration is preliminary and may be adjusted when the net working capital calculations are finalized. The fair value of the Marel shares transferred was based on the listed share price of the Company at 9 June 2022 of EUR 4.37 per share. The acquisition was financed through Marel's strong cash position, existing credit facilities and available treasury shares.
Immediately after the acquisition date the PPA activities started. The amounts recorded for the acquisition are provisional. The preliminary purchase price allocation may be further revised within the one year period from the acquisition date if additional information is obtained which might impact the purchase consideration and / or fair value of assets and liabilities.
Provisional goodwill amounted to EUR 170.5 million and is primarily related to the strategic and cultural fit and a highly complementary product portfolio. The goodwill is allocated to the new segment plant, pet and feed.
The goodwill for Wenger is tax deductible in the US if certain conditions are met.
In 2022 Sleegers and Wenger contributed EUR 63.6 million to the Group's revenue and EUR 8.7 million to the Group's adjusted result from operations. If these companies had been acquired on 1 January 2022, revenues on a year to date basis contributed to Marel would have been approximately EUR 139.0 million and adjusted result from operations EUR 17.0 million.

Purchase of non-controlling interest
On 1 February 2022, Marel acquired the remaining 50.0% of the shares of Curio for an additional investment of EUR 15.9 million. Curio and Marel have worked closely together since Marel's initial investment in Curio on 22 October 2019 and as such, Marel initiated the acquisition of the remaining shares ahead of the timing agreed in the put option. Curio was consolidated in Marel's financial results as of Q1 2021 at the moment Marel assessed it had control over Curio.
On 21 June 2022, Marel acquired the remaining 24.0% of the shares of MPS France S.A.R.L. ("MPS France") for an additional investment of EUR 0.5 million.
As these additional investments in Curio and MPS France do not result in a change of control, the purchase is treated as an equity transaction. As a result, no changes in the carrying amounts of assets (including goodwill) were recognized. The difference between the change in non-controlling interest and the consideration paid is recognized directly in equity.
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)
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
and acquisition related expenses. Restructuring costs due to the 5% headcount reduction are adjusted for in Q3 2022. No other adjustments are included in adjusted result from operations.

6 Segment information
Operating segments
The identified operating segments comprise the four core industries, which are the reporting segments. These operating segments form the basis for managerial decision taking.
Following the acquisition of Wenger, a new operating segment plant, pet and feed has been added to Marel's segment reporting alongside the poultry, meat and fish segments. As of Q3 2022, the revenues, results from operations and assets of Wenger are reported into this new segment, which also includes revenues that were historically reported under the other segment. For more information refer to note 4.
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;
- Plant, pet and feed: The plant, pet and feed industry provides solutions and services to the pet food, plant-based protein and aqua feed markets.
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 and are not 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.

Trade receivables and contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

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 2022 that have an original expected duration of one year or less, as allowed by IFRS 15.

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.
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.
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | YTD 2022 | YTD 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net result attributable to Shareholders (EUR millions) | 40.2 | 68.2 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares issued (millions) | 754.8 | 753.2 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | 5.33 | 9.05 |
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.
| Diluted earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | YTD 2022 | YTD 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net result attributable to Shareholders (EUR millions) | 40.2 | 68.2 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares issued (millions) | 754.8 | 753.2 |
| Adjustments for stock options (millions) | 4.4 | 7.1 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares for diluted earnings per share (millions) | 759.2 | 760.3 |

Share capital
The total authorized number of ordinary shares on the Nasdaq and Euronext exchanges is 771.0 million (31 December 2021: 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 2022, a dividend of EUR 38.7 million (EUR 5.12 cents per share) was declared and paid to the shareholders for the operational year 2021. This corresponds to approximately 40% of net result for the operational year 2021 (in 2021, a dividend of EUR 41.0 million (EUR 5.45 cents per share) was declared and paid for the operational year 2020).
Treasury shares
From time to time the Company purchases its own shares in the market. Treasury shares purchased by the Company are intended to be used for issuing stock options and as payment for potential future acquisitions. Buy and sell decisions are taken by the Board of Directors. Based on a motion approved in the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 16 March 2022, the Board of Directors can purchase up to 10% of the Company's own shares. Requirements pursuant to Article 55 of the Icelandic Companies Act No. 2/1995 need to be taken into consideration when own shares are purchased on the basis of this authorization. This authorization is effective for 18 months following the motions approval.
In 2022, Marel purchased 4.6 million treasury shares for a total amount of EUR 19.8 million. Marel used 0.6 million treasury shares (EUR 0.5 million) to fulfill obligations of stock option agreements to its employees and used 1.0 million treasury shares (EUR 4.2 million) as part of the purchase consideration for the acquisition of Wenger.
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
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
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.

| Total other comprehensive income | (0.3) | 5.7 | 5.4 |
| Balance at 31 December 2021 | 0.6 | (22.7) | (22.1) |
Other equity
Other equity included the impact of the option to acquire the remaining shares of non-controlling interests. In Q1 2022, following the acquisition of the remaining shares of Curio ahead of the timing agreed in the put option, the non-current liability recorded for the option was released through other equity.
Limitation in the distribution of Shareholders' equity
As at 30 September 2022, 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 98.9 million as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 88.1 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 as the Company has sufficient retained earnings from previous years.

The Group loan agreements contain restrictive covenants, relating to interest cover and leverage. At 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Group complies with all restrictive covenants.
On 27 April 2022, Marel signed a EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility. The facility was provided by BNP PARIBAS SA/NV and has a 12 month term and two six month extension options at Marel's discretion. The facility is largely based on the existing syndicated revolving facility and has an initial interest rate of EURIBOR/SOFR + 50 bps margin. On 2 November 2022, Marel signed a new USD 300.0 million term loan which will be utilized to replace the EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility. Further information is provided in note 27 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
In Q2 2022, the Group drew USD 530.0 million on its committed revolving facility in order to finance the Wenger acquisition. In addition, the Group utilized the full EUR 150.0 million bridge facility to provide operational liquidity. In Q2 2022, EUR 100.0 million was repaid on the revolving facility. In Q3 2022, the Group drew an additional net EUR 20.4 million on the revolving facility. The remaining increase in net interest-bearing debt in the quarter was due to FX volatility.
The Group has the following headroom in committed facilities:

24 Financial instruments and risks
Risk management framework
The main financial risks faced by Marel relate to market risk, credit 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 and (b) interest rate 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, 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.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. 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.
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.
In relation to the Wenger acquisition, Marel has signed a EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility in order to provide operational headroom. On 2 November 2022, Marel signed a new USD 300.0 million term loan which will be utilized to replace the EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility.
The Group has EUR 700.0 million of committed facilities (31 December 2021: EUR 700.0 million), which can be used both as a revolver and to issue guarantees for down payments. As per 30 September 2022, the Group had drawn EUR 579.9 million on the syndicated revolving credit facility (31 December 2021: EUR 95.0 million), and issued guarantees for EUR 29.4 million (31 December 2021: EUR 15.6 million), therefore the total usage is EUR 609.3 million (31 December 2021: EUR 110.6 million), leaving a headroom of EUR 90.7 million (31 December 2021: EUR 589.4 million). All facilities are subject to operational and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position covenants (interest cover and leverage). At 30 September 2022 Marel complies with all covenants.
At 30 September 2022, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 79.6 million (31 December 2021: EUR 77.1 million).
25 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
At 30 September 2022 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 48.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 33.8 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.
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2022
26 Related party transactions
At 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021 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 2022 and the year 2021.
27 Subsequent events
Marel has signed a new USD 300.0 million term loan which will be utilized to replace the EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility that was signed in April 2022 to provide operational headroom. The facility was signed on 2 November 2022; closing and utilization is subject to standard conditions precedent.
The term loan is provided by the same group of banks as the EUR 700.0 million revolving facility highlighting the strong partnership between Marel and the banking group. The loan has an initial term of 3 years and includes two uncommitted one-year extension options. Initial interest terms are SOFR + 2.5% and will move in line with Marel's Net debt/EBITDA leverage profile.
Marel and the banking group agreed to a temporary increased Net debt/EBITDA leverage headroom on the EUR 700.0 million revolving facility. While Marel remains within the term of the originally agreed covenant terms, the additional headroom acts as safety headroom for temporary swings in cash flow and operational performance as well as volatility in FX rates.
No other significant events have taken place since the reporting date, 30 September 2022.
