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 Financial Statements for the three and six-month period ended 30 June 2024 comprise the financial statements of Marel hf. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group" or "Marel"). The Condensed Consolidated 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 2023.

The Condensed Consolidated 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 2023.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have not been audited nor reviewed by an external auditor.

Operations in six-month period ended 30 June 2024

The consolidated revenues for Marel for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 are EUR 827.8 million (2023: EUR 869.8 million). The adjusted result from operations for the same period is EUR 70.5 million or 8.5% of revenues (2023: EUR 74.0 million or 8.5% 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 2024 YTD 2023
Adjusted result from operations¹ 70.5 74.0
Non-IFRS adjustments (35.1) (33.8)
Result from operations 35.4 40.2

¹ Result from operations is adjusted for PPA related costs, including depreciation and amortization, acquisition related expenses and restructuring costs. In Q1 2024, result from operations is also adjusted for one-off write-offs within "Other".

At 30 June 2024 the Company's order book amounted to EUR 538.5 million (at 31 December 2023: EUR 580.1 million). Orders received for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to EUR 786.2 million (2023: EUR 769.1 million).

Net cash from operating activities during the six-month period was EUR -19.8 million (2023: EUR 21.7 million). The decrease in net cash from operating activities is primarily due to lower results from operations and unfavorable movements in working capital.

Capital expenditures for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 were EUR 29.1 million (2023: EUR 60.5 million). After a period of elevated investments, cash capital expenditures excluding R&D investments are below a normalized level of 2-3% due to focus on cash flow after a period of elevated cash capital expenditures levels into strategic investments in prior years.

At 30 June 2024, net cash and cash equivalents were EUR 29.7 million (31 December 2023: EUR 69.9 million). Net interest-bearing debt increased from EUR 790.9 million at the end of 2023 to EUR 854.1 million as per 30 June 2024.

Based on the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting resolution, a dividend of EUR 6.2 million (EUR 0.82 cents per share) was declared and paid out to the shareholders in 2024 for the operational year 2023. This corresponds to approximately 20% of net result for the operational year 2023 (in Q1 2023: a dividend of EUR 11.7 million, EUR 1.56 cents per share, corresponding to 20% of net result for the year 2022, was declared and paid out to shareholders for the operational year 2022). The dividend was fully paid in Q2 2024.

JBT proposal

On June 24, 2024, a voluntary takeover offer (the "Offer") was launched by JBT for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Marel hf. ("Marel"), providing our shareholders until September 2, 2024 to tender the shares, unless such offer period is extended in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and applicable laws. On August 8, 2024, JBT will hold a special meeting of its stockholders to, among other things, vote on a proposal to approve the issuance of newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock (the "JBT Offer Shares") to Marel shareholders in connection with the JBT-Marel Transaction.

The Offer is based on the terms and conditions set out in an offer document approved by the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland and published and dated 24 June 2024. JBT has also issued a prospectus in connection with the offer. The Offer and the prospectus are available on Marel's and Arion bank's website.

The JBT-Marel Transaction, is subject to the receipt of the required regulatory approvals and the other customary closing conditions.

Outlook

There is continued short term uncertainty due to rising geopolitical tension, persistent inflation, and the high interest rate environment. This is evidenced by the lower than expected projects orders received in the first half of the year.

Orders received are expected to build up in 2H24, market outlook is improving and there are positive signs in customer sentiment. Outlook for full year 2024 revised to 9-10% EBIT and 13-14% EBITDA and revenue decline of low single digits.

Outlook for the mid term is unchanged. Marel operates in attractive growth markets with expected long term average market growth of 4-6% annually, supported by favorable secular trends, focused on automation, robotics technology and digital solutions to optimize processing and address customers' challenges of better utilization of raw materials, labor scarcity, high input costs and rising number of end products.

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 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 three and six-month period ended 30 June 2024, its assets, liabilities and consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2024 and its consolidated cash flows for the three and six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

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 six-month period ended 30 June 2024 with their signatures.

The Group is a leading global provider of advanced solutions, software and services to food processing 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 and six-month period ended 30 June 2024 have not been audited nor reviewed by an external auditor.

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

2 Base of preparation and use of judgments and estimates

Base of preparation

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are for the three and six-month period ended 30 June 2024 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim financial reporting' as adopted by the European Union.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Austurhraun 9, Gardabaer, Iceland or at www.marel.com.

These Condensed Consolidated 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.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities classified as 'fair value through other comprehensive income' or 'fair value through profit or loss', which are reported in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 of the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Items of each entity in the Group, as included in the Condensed Consolidated 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 Financial Statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Group's reporting currency.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied and described in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. The accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A number of new and amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these new and amended standards.

Use of judgments and estimates

In preparing these Condensed Consolidated 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 are the same as those described in the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

JUNE 2024

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, acquisition related expenses and restructuring costs). Result from operations is also adjusted for one-off write-offs within "Other".

The reconciliation of adjusted EBIT to the most directly comparable IFRS measure EBIT, is included in the following table.

4 Segment information

Operating segments

As disclosed in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, 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 automated in-line solutions, software and services for all stages of 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 'Other' segment includes any revenues, result from operations and assets which do not belong to the four core business segments.

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.

8 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.

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.

9 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
2024 | YTD

| Weighted average number of
outstanding shares issued (millions) | 754.0 | 753.1 |
| Basic earnings per share (EUR cent
per share) | (0.15) | 1.62 |

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.

Dividends

In March 2024, a dividend of EUR 6.2 million (EUR 0.82 cents per share) was declared to the shareholders for the operational year 2023. This corresponds to approximately 20% of net result for the operational year 2023 (in 2023, a dividend of EUR 11.7 million (EUR 1.56 cents per share) was declared and paid for the operational year 2022). The dividend was fully paid in Q2 2024.

Balance at 30 June 2024 1.9 (36.9) (35.0)

Limitation in the distribution of Shareholders' equity

As at 30 June 2024, 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 106.4 million as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 106.3 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 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).

During the year there were no material transfers between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy.

15 Contingencies

Contingent liabilities

At 30 June 2024 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 21.7 million (31 December 2023: EUR 26.2 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.

16 Related party transactions

At 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023 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 years ended 30 June 2024 and 2023.

17 Subsequent events

No significant events have taken place since the reporting date, 30 June 2024.
