The Board of Directors' and CEO's Report
Marel is a leading global provider of advanced processing equipment, systems, software and services to the food processing industry. 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 2023 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 2022.
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 2022.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023 have not been audited nor reviewed by an external auditor.
Operations in nine-month period ended 30 September 2023
The consolidated revenues for Marel for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023 are EUR 1,273.4 million (2022: EUR 1,219.5 million). The adjusted result from operations for the same period is EUR 110.3 million or 8.7% of revenues (2022: EUR 102.5 million or 8.4% 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 2023 | YTD 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted result from operations1 | 110.3 | 102.5 |
| Non-IFRS adjustments | (42.5) | (43.6) |
| Result from operations | 67.8 | 58.9 |
1 Result from operations is adjusted for PPA related costs, including depreciation and amortization and acquisition related expenses. In Q3 2022, Q4 2022, Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, result from operations is adjusted for restructuring costs.
At 30 September 2023 the Company's order book amounted to EUR 561.7 million (at 31 December 2022: EUR 675.2 million). Orders received for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023 amounted to EUR 1,159.9 million (2022: EUR 1,320.6 million).
Net cash from operating activities during the nine-month period was EUR 53.4 million (2022: EUR 25.7 million). The increase in net cash from operating activities is due to higher result from operations and favorable working capital movements, offset by higher payments on interest, finance costs, and income taxes.
Capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023 were EUR 80.4 million (2022: EUR 68.0 million), focusing on initiatives to automate and digitize our manufacturing platform, supply chain and aftermarket business. After a period of elevated investments, cash capital expenditures excluding R&D investments are expected to be at normalized levels of 2-3%. Investments in past quarters were instrumental to secure business and aftermarket growth. Focus in coming quarters on reaping benefits from investments and ensuring the full focus of our team on customer centricity to convert the pipeline into orders.
At 30 September 2023, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 60.0 million (31 December 2022: EUR 75.7 million). Net interest-bearing debt increased from EUR 816.7 million at the end of 2022 to EUR 871.9 million as per 30 September 2023.
Based on the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting resolution, a dividend of EUR 11.7 million (EUR 1.56 cents per share) was declared to the shareholders in Q1 2023 for the operational year 2022. This corresponds to approximately 20% of net result for the operational year 2022 (in Q1 2022: a dividend of EUR 38.7 million, EUR 5.12 cents per share, corresponding to 40% of net result for the year 2021, was declared and paid out to shareholders for the operational year 2021). The dividend was fully paid in Q2 2023.
Acquisition E+V Technology
On 4 April 2023, Marel acquired 100% of the operating assets related to E+V Technology ("E+V"), a global provider of advanced vision systems for the meat and poultry industries. E+V was founded in 1992, has 19 employees and annual revenues are around EUR 5 million. The company is headquartered in Oranienburg, Germany. The acquisition provides a great opportunity to leverage E+V's long-standing customer relationships and Marel's global sales and service network to drive further sales of grading and classification solutions, enhance local service capabilities and provide a customer-centric experience.

Outlook
Market conditions remain challenging resulting in elevated uncertainty. Headwinds expected to moderate in coming quarters, supported by optimization actions and general easing in supply chain and logistics, resulting in improved operational performance towards the financial targets. Labor scarcity, inflation and rising input costs, coupled with favorable secular trends, focused on automation, robotics technology and digital solutions that support sustainable food processing, will continue to support organic growth outlook in the long term.
Management is committed to the financial targets to reach 14-16% EBIT, gross profit of ~38-40% of revenues, and OPEX of 24% consisting of SG&A of ~18% and innovation of ~5-6%. Focus on delivering healthy growth and margin enhancement to reach a sustainable 14-16% EBIT level in the course of 2024.
Growth is not expected to be linear but based on opportunities and economic fluctuations. Operational results may vary from quarter to quarter due to general economic developments, fluctuations in orders received and timing of deliveries of larger systems.
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 are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting' and give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial performance of the Group for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023, its assets, liabilities and consolidated financial position as at 30 September 2023 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2023.
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.

3 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 ("adjusted EBIT"), result from operations before depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted result from operations before depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") as performance measures because it monitors these performance measures at a consolidated level and believes that these measures are relevant to understanding the Group's financial performance.
Adjusted EBIT is calculated by adjusting result from operations ("EBIT") to exclude the impact of PPA related costs (consisting of depreciation and amortization of acquisition related (in)tangible assets) and acquisition related expenses. In Q3 2022, Q4 2022, Q2 2023 and Q3 2023, result from operations is adjusted for restructuring costs. The reconciliation of adjusted EBIT to the most directly comparable IFRS measure EBIT, is included in the following table.

4 Business combinations
E+V Technology
On 4 April 2023, Marel acquired 100% of the operating assets related to E+V, a global provider of advanced vision systems for the meat and poultry industries. E+V was founded in 1992, has 19 employees and annual revenues are around EUR 5 million. The company is headquartered in Oranienburg, Germany.
The total investment for the asset purchase amounted to EUR 10.0 million, of which EUR 8.0 million was paid in Q2 2023 at closing of the deal and the remaining EUR 2.0 million will be paid in one year subject to certain conditions.
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 of EUR 5.2 million is allocated to the poultry and meat segments, related to the opportunity to leverage E+V's product portfolio of vision solutions, its long-standing customer relationships and Marel's global sales and service network. The goodwill for the E+V acquisition is deductible for corporate income tax if certain conditions are met.

5 Segment information
Operating segments
The identified operating segments comprise the four core business 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 segment 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 segment 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 segment 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 business segment.
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, taxes and results of associates 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.

9 Income tax
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.

10 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 2023 | YTD 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Net result attributable to Shareholders (EUR millions) | 22.3 | 40.2 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares issued (millions) | 753.4 | 754.8 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent per share) | 2.96 | 5.33 |
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.

As at 30 September 2023, 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 109.7 million as at 30 September 2023 (31 December 2022: EUR 102.8 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 tables above show the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
During the year there were no material transfers between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and prepayments, trade and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of borrowings approximate their carrying amount based on the nature of these borrowings (including maturity and interest conditions).

16 Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
At 30 September 2023 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 35.5 million (31 December 2022: EUR 54.3 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, Marel 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.
