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 three-month period ended 31 March 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 three-month period ended 31 March 2022

The consolidated revenues for Marel for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 are EUR 371.6 million (2021: EUR 334.0 million). The adjusted result from operations for the same period is EUR 31.3 million or 8.4% of revenues (2021: EUR 38.0 million or 11.4% 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 2022 YTD 2021
Adjusted result from operations¹ 31.3 38.0
Non-IFRS adjustments (6.3) (7.9)
Result from operations 25.0 30.1

¹ Result from operations is adjusted for PPA related costs, including depreciation and amortization, and acquisition related expenses.

At 31 March 2022 the Company's order book amounted to EUR 619.1 million (at 31 December 2021: EUR 569.0 million). Orders received for three-month period ended 31 March 2022 amounted to EUR 421.7 million (2021: EUR 369.4 million).

Net cash from operating activities for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 was EUR 28.2 million (2021: EUR 54.9 million).

Capital expenditures for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 EUR 16.1 million (2021: EUR 14.5 million). Marel is stepping up in market coverage and focusing on important initiatives to automate and digitize our manufacturing platform, supply chain and aftermarket business to create more agility and flexibility in our operations ahead of the anticipated growth curve.

At 31 March 2022, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 63.6 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 238.1 million as per 31 March 2022.

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. Further information is provided in note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Russian military invasion of Ukraine

Marel strongly condemns the military actions of the Russian government in Ukraine. Following the invasion, Marel has taken the decision to pause all new projects in Russia. Marel operates a sales and service office in Russia and employs a team of approximately 70 people. We have limited reliance on vendors and do not operate any manufacturing facilities in the area. Marel continues to comply with all applicable sanctions.

Marel's highest priority is the safety and wellbeing of its employees. Marel is maintaining its dedicated teams in the Ukraine and Russia and the office in Russia, despite expected lower utilization in the near future. Marel's


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

annual revenues and order book in Russia and Ukraine amount to approximately 4% of total, most weighted towards the meat segment.

Outlook

Marel is experiencing strong demand for its solutions, software and services driven by an accelerating focus on automation, robotics technology and digital solutions that support sustainable food processing. Market conditions have been challenging due to geopolitical uncertainty and the peak of pandemic related absenteeism in 1Q22. Current supply chain challenges are resulting in inefficiencies in manufacturing and higher costs associated with timely delivery. Marel is targeting a gradual build up of revenues during 2022 and better price/cost coverage in new orders.

Marel has a balanced exposure to global economies and local markets through its global reach, innovative product portfolio and diversified business mix. Marel's business model has proven to be resilient during times of turbulence. Marel is committed to achieve its mid- and long-term growth targets.

Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

According to the Board of Directors' and CEO's best knowledge, the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial performance of the Group for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022, its assets, liabilities and consolidated financial position as at 31 March 2022 and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022.

Furthermore, in our opinion the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and the endorsement of the Board of Directors and the CEO give a fair view of the development and performance of the Group's operations and its position and describe the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group.

The Board of Directors and CEO of Marel hf. hereby ratify the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Marel hf. for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 with their signatures.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1 General information

Reporting entity

Marel hf. ("the Company") is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland. The address of its registered office is Austurhraun 9, Gardabaer.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group" or "Marel").

The Group is a leading global provider of advanced processing equipment, systems, software and services to the poultry, meat and fish industries and is involved in the manufacturing, development, distribution and sales of solutions for these industries.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 have not been audited nor reviewed by an external auditor.

All amounts are in millions of EUR unless otherwise indicated.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors and CEO on 27 April 2022.

The Company is listed on the Nasdaq Iceland ("Nasdaq") and on Euronext Amsterdam ("Euronext") exchanges.

2 Basis of preparation and use of judgments 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 2022 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 2021. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group for the period ended 31 December 2021 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 2021.


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 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.

Curio

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. Immediately after obtaining control, the purchase price allocation ("PPA") activities started which were finalized in 2021. For further information on the outcomes of the PPA, we refer to the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Since this additional investment in Curio does not result in a change of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. As a result, no changes in the carrying amounts of Curio's 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) and acquisition related expenses. 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.

6 Segment information

Operating segments

The identified operating segments comprise the three core industries and Other, 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


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

operations; finance costs and taxes are reported in the column total.

Trade receivables 181.2 154.7
Contract assets 71.1 69.6
Contract liabilities (340.8) (306.0)

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

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

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

| Weighted average number of
outstanding shares issued (millions) | 755.9 | 752.3 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent
per share) | 2.87 | 2.82 |

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.

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).

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.

Limitation in the distribution of Shareholders' equity

As at 31 March 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 91.1 million as at 31 March 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 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 EUR 0.0 million for the three-month period ended 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: 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 24.0%.

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.


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

(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 started to hedge 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 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.

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 31 March 2022, the Group had drawn EUR 120.0 million on the syndicated revolving credit facility (31 December 2021: EUR 95.0 million), and issued guarantees for EUR 21.5 million (31 December 2021: EUR 15.6 million), therefore the total usage is EUR 141.5 million (31 December 2021: EUR 110.6 million), leaving a headroom of EUR 558.5 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 31 March 2022 there is sufficient headroom.

At 31 March 2022, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 63.6 million (31 December 2021: EUR 77.1 million).

25 Contingencies

Contingent liabilities

At 31 March 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 44.5 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


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

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 31 March 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 three-month period ended 31 March 2022 and the year 2021.

27 Subsequent events

Acquisition of Sleegers

On 22 April 2022, Marel announced 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. Sleegers was founded in 1993, has 27 FTEs 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.

In accordance with IFRS 3, business combinations, the purchase price of Sleegers will be allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Due to the short timeframe between closing of the acquisition and issuance of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, this has not been completed and as such the allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities assumed is not disclosed.

Acquisition of Wenger

On 27 April 2022, Marel announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Wenger Manufacturing LLC ("Wenger"), 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 around USD 190.0 million in annual revenues.

The acquisition of Wenger is a platform investment into new and attractive growth markets for Marel and will form the fourth business segment alongside poultry, meat and fish. The two companies have a great strategic and cultural fit with highly complementary product portfolios and geographic presence, creating a strong platform to enhance further growth. 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.

Marel has agreed to acquire the entire share capital of Wenger, including all relevant business activities of the group. The total investment for the acquisition is USD 540.0 million, of which USD 530.0 million is the purchase price on a cash and debt-free basis (enterprise value). The remaining USD 10 million is a combination of a contribution to a not-for-profit private foundation, to continue the legacy of Wenger and its meaningful impact on the community, as well as Marel shares for Wenger employees. The purchase price will be paid with cash at hand and existing credit facilities. Discussion with selling shareholders regarding partial consideration in Marel shares is ongoing and will be concluded prior to closing. The transaction will result in expected tax benefits of USD 60-70 million. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including anti-trust and approval of Wenger's shareholders.


CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 MARCH 2022

In relation to the Wenger acquisition, Marel has signed a new EUR 150.0 million multi-currency bridge facility in order to provide operational headroom. The facility is provided by BNP PARIBAS SA/NV and has up to a 2-year term. The facility is largely based on the existing syndicated revolving facility and has an initial interest rate of EURIBOR/SOFR + 50 bps margin. The bridge facility is expected to be replaced by long term structural funding during 2022. The facility was signed on 27 April 2022; closing and utilization is subject to standard conditions precedent.

No other significant events have taken place since the reporting date, 31 March 2022.
