NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION, SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF THE PERIOD AND POST-CLOSING EVENTS
General Information
The Robertet Group's condensed consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2022 include the company Robertet and its subsidiaries. Robertet is a Group entirely focused on the design, manufacture and marketing of aromatic products. Robertet is a company incorporated under French law, listed on the Paris Stock Exchange (Euronext compartment B), with its headquarters at 37, avenue Sidi-Brahim, 06130 Grasse.
Robertet's condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on September 21, 2022.
Significant events of the period
The Maverick Active Holdings Limited Group, acquired on April 26, 2022, was fully consolidated for the first time for a purchase price of 15.2 million euros, financed entirely by shareholders' equity. 16.7 million, based on a projection of EBITDA, which is the main variable in the calculation of this earn-out, giving a total purchase price of 31,9 million euros. In accordance with IAS 32, the company has been required to recognize a financial liability in this amount.
The main company, Omega Ingredients, is an UK-based company specializing in the creation of high quality, naturally derived flavors and ingredients for the food and beverage industry. This investment reaffirms the Robertet Group's commitment to strengthening its position as the world leader in natural flavor solutions by reinforcing its position in the UK market.
This merger creates new synergies within the group in order to better meet the demands of emerging customers, identified for our future growth. Omega Ingredients will benefit from Robertet's natural industrial expertise and creativity, reinforcing the common values that have always made Omega an unique and successful company. Revenue and profit since the acquisition date amount to 2,262K€ and 510K€ respectively. The main assets and liabilities acquired are industrial and commercial elements related to the activity of this entity. The acquisition amounted to 29.6 million euros allocated to the Food Flavors division, corresponding mainly to the synergies expected from the geographical location and the customer and product portfolio of this company, which perfectly complements of Robertet. In accordance with IFRS 3, the provisional amounts recognized may be adjusted within the legal allocation period.
Following the change in consolidation method for the Bionov entity as of July 1, 2021, the process of valuing assets and liabilities has been completed and has resulted in the recognition of a definitive goodwill of 4.4 million €. The change in goodwill compared to its first valuation as of December 31, 2021 (10.0 million €) results from the valuation as intangible assets of technology (1.6 million €), brands (1.6 million €) and a customer portfolio (3.6 million €) and net deferred taxes (1.2 million €).
POST-CLOSING EVENTS
In accordance with a resolution voted at the General Meeting of June 14, 2022 and following a decision by the Board of Directors on July 7, 2022, validated by the AMF market authorities, Robertet has launched a "simplified public tender offer" (OPAS) for its own shares, limited to 10% of the capital. This operation, financed essentially by debt, allows for an increase in shareholder value while giving the company the possibility of financing possible future share allocations or acquisition financing operations through share exchanges. Through this transaction, Robertet wanted to create liquidity for its shareholders and gain flexibility for its future investments.
The result of this operation was known at the end of August 2022 and was successful, as the number of shares presented in the OPAS was greater than the number of shares targeted. Maubert S.A., Robertet's controlling shareholder, was served with 225,243 shares representing 99.67% of the shares targeted by the public exchange offer.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis for preparing the accounts
The consolidated financial statements of the Robertet Group have been prepared in accordance with the international accounting rules and principles of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 on interim financial reporting. In application of this standard, only a selection of explanatory notes is included in these condensed financial statements. These notes may be supplemented by reading the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The accounting policies are identical to those applied for the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Group has not anticipated any standards or interpretations whose application is not mandatory in 2022.
For the presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group has applied all the standards and interpretations that have come into force at European level and are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
These new standards and interpretations are as follows:
Standards and interpretations mandatory as of January 1, 2022
- Amendments to IFRS 3 Updating references to the conceptual framework
- Amendments to IAS 16 Revenue recognition before an asset is put into service
- Amendments to IAS 37 Onerous contracts: costs to be taken into account in recognizing a provision for onerous contracts
- Annual improvements (2018-2020 cycle)
These new regulations did not have a significant impact on our accounts.
Standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union but not yet applicable
The following texts will be applicable as of January 1, 2023:
- IFRS 17 Insurance contracts including amendments to IFRS 17
- Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Significant Accounting Policies
- Amendment to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: definition of changes in estimates
Standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the European Union
- Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: classification of liabilities as current or non-current
- Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Taxes on Assets and Liabilities Arising from the Same Transaction
- First-time adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 Comparative information
The Group has chosen not to apply these standards and interpretations in advance, but has begun to analyze the consequences of their application. The Group will apply these standards in its accounts as soon as they are adopted by the European Union.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires Robertet to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on past experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. They thus serve as a basis for exercising judgment in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that cannot
be obtained directly from other sources. The amounts shown in Robertet's future financial statements may differ from the values currently estimated. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The Group's tax charge has been calculated on the basis of the estimated effective tax rate for the period. This rate, determined on the basis of the tax rates applicable in the Group's tax entities, is applied to pre-tax income.
Rules of consolidation
Subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly controlled are fully consolidated. Companies over which Robertet exercises joint control or significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. All of these companies have been consolidated on the basis of the half-yearly financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022.
All intra-group balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The financial statements of foreign companies whose functional currency is not the euro are translated using the following principles:
- balance sheet items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. The translation differences arising from the application of a different exchange rate to the opening equity are recorded in equity in the consolidated balance sheet;
- income statements are translated at the average rate
for the period. The conversion difference resulting from the application of an exchange rate different from the balance sheet rate is recorded under shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
The risks identified within the Robertet Group are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.
Scope
The condensed interim financial statements at June 30, 2022 include the financial statements of the companies over which the Robertet Group has direct or indirect de jure or de facto control, as well as those over which it has significant influence.
Description of the main risks and unknowns for the remaining six months
The risk factors are of the same nature as those set out in the 2021 Annual Report (management report) and do not show any significant change over the first half of 2022.
Main related party transactions
Information on related parties is detailed in note 18, which presents the main developments of the first half.

ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2022
ACTIVITY REPORT FOR THE HALF OF 2022
The year 2022 began in a context of inflationary tension, affecting in particular the price of raw materials as well as a shortage of transport capacity impacting logistics costs. Tensions worsened following the war in Ukraine, leading to a humanitarian crisis, but also to an economic crisis with unprecedented pressure on energy costs, resulting in increased inflation and supply risks. Although only marginally affected in terms of its sales and supplies, Robertet remains attentive to the pressure on its costs and margins in the current unpredictable context.
As the covid-19 pandemic has subsided, Robertet has resumed normal industrial and commercial activity, while maintaining strict and vigilant hygiene rules. The pandemic therefore had a moderate to low impact on the company's business during the first half of the year, but Robertet continued to scrupulously follow the health rules imposed by the authorities in the countries in which it operates.
Robertet had a strong start to the year thanks to the recovery in consumption, the appeal of natural products and its ability to respond to the demands of a variety of customers. It was driven by new acquisitions and favorable exchange rates.
At the end of June 2022, consolidated revenues totaled 358.9 million euro, up 20.6% compared to the first half of 2021. At constant exchange rates, the increase was +15.2%, given the strong rise of the US dollar against the euro.
Like-for-like growth in the first half of 2022 was +10.9% (+5.8% at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation), with organic growth contributing around half of the growth. The other half came from acquisitions made in 2021, such as Astier-Demarest and Bionov in France, Ecom in Canada and, since the second quarter of 2022, Omega Ingredients in the United Kingdom.
The performance of the Ingredients Division was good with an increase of +25.7% in the first half, boosted by acquisitions. Organic growth was weak due to the temporary decline in aromatherapy and organic products.
The Flavors Division accelerated to +19.3% (+12.3% at constant rate), driven by the acquisition of Ecom in Canada. The beverage, dairy and spice categories were buoyant.
The Health and Beauty division, which specializes in natural active ingredients, continues its strong rise with growth of +66.6% (+57.0% at constant exchange rates) thanks to strong demand for food supplements and the acquisition of Bionov.
Robertet Grasse, which mainly serves Europe, has started the year with a first half-year growth of +14.2% (+13.6% at constant exchange rates). Due to the difficulties of purchasing power, there has been a slowdown in sales of organic ingredients in Europe, but Robertet nevertheless continues to believe fundamentally in these channels for the future.
Latin America excluding Brazil, South and North Asia and India also produced double-digit growth. Countries such as Spain, Mexico, Japan, India and Singapore were particularly strong drivers of growth.
It should be noted that the USA performed less well, up +5.0% (-4.8% at constant exchange rates) due to the sharp decline in the ingredients division, penalized by the temporary decline of major aromatherapy customers with high inventories. Similarly, Brazil experienced recurrent difficulties with a modest performance of +2.9% (-12% at constant exchange rates).
Operating margin performance is impacted by sharp increases in raw material, energy and transport costs and lost 130 bps compared with H1 2021. EBITDA increased by +16.8% and net income by +18.4%. Negotiations are underway with customers to share the impact of sudden increases in certain costs, while securing supplies. EBITDA was also boosted by acquisitions, without which it would have risen by only +11.1%.
The Robertet Group is pursuing its policy of targeted acquisitions in order to accelerate its growth and to strengthen its expansion strategy in the natural world and internationally.
The integration of the above-mentioned companies is being pursued with continuity and by identifying sources of synergy. This policy will continue in the years to come. The beginning of the year was marked by a new acquisition within the Flavors Division, Omega Ingredients. This company is a specialist in natural flavours in the United Kingdom and brings its expertise in natural ingredients and start-up customers or innovative brands. It also strengthens Robertet's geographical footprint in the Englishspeaking world.
The Robertet Group expands its approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) by confirming its good Ecovadis and CDP scores. The company has also undertaken an ambitious program to obtain "Fair for Life" or "UEBT" certification for its major natural resources.
The CSR objectives for 2030 are well monitored and are making significant progress.
As announced in the previous report, the governance of the Robertet Group has been modified and validated by the General Meeting of June 14, 2022. As of July 1, the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer have been separated. Mr Philippe Maubert will remain Chairman of the Group in order to ensure its continuity, independence and major strategic directions. The Chief Executive Officer is Mr Jérôme Bruhat, who joined Robertet in February as Deputy CEO. He arrives after more than 30 years of experience within a leading French industrial group in cosmetics, including 22 years spent abroad. His mission will be to pursue growth, maintain natural leadership and modernize the company.
In addition, the composition of the Board of Directors has been modified: the terms of Isabelle Maubert, Olivier Maubert and Lionel Picolet have not been renewed, while Elie Vannier joins the Board to represent the family holding company Maubert SA.
In accordance with a resolution voted at the General Meeting of 14 June 2022 and following a decision by the Board of Directors, confirmed by the AMF, Robertet has launched a "simplified tender offer" for its own shares, limited to less than 10% of the capital. This operation, financed by debt, allows for an increase in shareholder value, while enabling the company to finance any future share allocations or acquisition financing operations by means of a share exchange. Robertet is therefore enabling shareholders who wish to recover liquidity and is offering to these loyal shareholders improved performance per share, while retaining strong capacity for future external growth.
Robertet's main shareholder, the family holding company Maubert SA, has also reaffirmed its loyalty to the company and its desire for independence. The roots of its growth are the company's core values for decades: expertise in natural products, passion for quality and a spirit of international conquest. Its unique model, based on a deep knowledge of naturalness and raw material chains, continues to attract customers and partners of all sizes and all over the world.
For the year 2022 as a whole, Robertet is aiming for a published consolidated growth rate of 7 to 9%, in anticipation of a second half of the year that will be marked by a decline in the consolidation effects of new companies, by continued pressure on supplies and cost prices, and by general economic uncertainty.

STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2022
For the period from January 1st, 2022 to June 30th, 2022
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your General Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Robertet S.A., for the period from January 1st, 2022 to June 30th, 2022;
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
