1. KEY FIGURES AND HEADLINES

Ter Beke Group:

As expected, the first half of the year was characterized by a significant improvement of the results compared to the first half of 2020 -thanks to the initiatives taken earlier to improve the profitability of the company and despite a continuing impact of COVID-19 on the food service business (mainly at KK Fine Foods).

As previously announced, the sale of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg was completed on June 18th , 2021. This - together with the costs related to the change in CEO - resulted in a non-underlying cost of EUR 5.4 million.

Furthermore, the group succeeded in further reducing its net indebtedness. Compared to the end of 2020, net debt decreased by EUR 8 million and leverage (net debt / underlying EBITDA in the last 12 months) decreased further to 1.5 times.

This resulted in the following key results:

  • o A decline in revenue from EUR 356 million to EUR 342 million
  • o An increase in underlying EBITDA from EUR 13 million to EUR 27 million
  • o An increase in EBIT from -10 to + EUR 7 million
  • o A decrease in net debt since the end of 2020 by EUR 8 million

The result is the combination of:

  • o A decrease in sales due to the continued impact of COVID-19 on our sales in the food service channel (particularly at KK Fine Foods) compared to last year where covid impacted sales from the end of March 2020.
  • o A decrease in sales due to the termination or non-renewal of a number of non-profitable contracts.
  • o Better purchasing conditions compared to last year, although in a macro-economic environment where a number of costs (packaging, ingredients) are strongly rising and have to be passed on to the customers.
  • o A lower cost due to the operational and legal integration of the companies in the Netherlands and the "zero based budgeting" programme that was started at the end of last year.
  • o A decrease in non-underlying costs compared to last year, despite the impact of the sale of the captive reinsurance company and the costs related to the change in CEO that were incurred in the first half of the year.

The debt ratio decreased due to a continued focus on managing working capital. The implementation of a scrip dividend will result in a limited cash outflow in the second half of the year as 56.39% of the shareholders opted to participate in the share capital increase.

As a result of the combination of all of the above:

  • o the underlying EBITDA amounts to EUR 27.1 million compared to EUR 12.6 million in 2020
  • o EBITDA is EUR 21.7 million compared to EUR 6.2 million in 2020
  • o Underlying EBIT is EUR 12.7 million compared with EUR -2.3 million in 2020
  • o EBIT is EUR 7.3 million compared to EUR -10.0 million in 2020
  • o the result after taxes is EUR 1.5 million compared to EUR -9.8 million in 2020

Processed Meats Division:

The turnover of the division decreased by EUR 6.3 million (-3%) compared to 2020. This was mainly due to the termination or non-renewal of a number of unprofitable contracts in 2021.

The processed meats industry - both for products and slicing activities - continues to be characterised by fierce price competition, which ultimately benefits the consumer.

In the Netherlands, the market share of meat and meat products with a "Beter Leven Keurmerk" (ENG. Better Life Certificate) is considerable. In order to encourage pig farmers to implement the animal welfare criteria of the "Beter Leven" (Better Life) concept, they are rightly paid a premium. Through socalled "automatic price changes", this premium is also applied further down the chain, so that raw material price increases are translated into the price of end products. In Belgium too, there are numerous voices today in favour of such a programme, which would guarantee the animal welfare and the viability of the entire chain.

In the Benelux countries, the UK and Germany - where Ter Beke is primarily active in processed meats - many consumers are showing increasing interest in healthier recipes (e.g. less salt), better traceability and sustainable production. Sustainability in the processed meats industry is mainly about stronger chain cooperation and recyclable or reduced packaging. Ter Beke is in a leading position to respond to this.

Furthermore we see an increase in importance of, for example, the Nutri-Score and similar alternatives. Here too, Ter Beke assumes its role and we are actively cooperating with our customers to further optimise the quality of our products.

Ready Meals Division:

The turnover of the division decreased by EUR 8.1 million (-6%) compared to 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the impact of COVID-19. Since March 2020, the closure of (and the restrictions within) the food service industry caused a decline in sales in the food service channel. In 2021, sales in this channel continued to be hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 pandemic - especially at our UK subsidiary KK Fine Foods Ltd. However, we do see that the relaxation of the measures is leading to a very gradual recovery in sales.

Furthermore, the group also incurred costs to ensure the safety of its employees, but these were less significant when compared to the first half of last year.

Ter Beke has a network of five production facilities thus being able to deliver the whole of Europe. As a reminder, Ter Beke is the European market leader in its Ready Meals segment, briefly described as chilled, Mediterranean pasta meals. During the first half of the year, the division also succeeded in starting up its first production aimed at the Russian market.

Highlights for the various companies in the Ready Meals Division:

  • o Freshmeals (with production in Marche and Wanze) continues to focus on both chilled lasagna and pasta preparations in family & single-portion packaging. Thanks to a constant focus on innovation, the cluster also keeps continuously bringing new products into the market.
  • o Stefano Toselli continues to focus on chilled and frozen lasagna products.
  • o Pasta Food Company Ter Beke's "beachhead" in Central and Eastern Europe put an additional production line into service in early 2021.
  • o KK Fine Foods was impacted significantly by the closure of (or social distancing and other restrictions at) pubs and restaurants, its most important sales market. This despite further expansion of its portfolio in retail where the high quality of the frozen meals is clearly appreciated by the consumer and where continued growth is experienced.

The ready meals industry in Europe continues to offer good perspectives:

  • o The retail channel (including discount) is increasing shelf space in order to meet the need for convenience, also in response to competition from home-delivered meals.
  • o For each consumer, there is a range of products that meet their quality-price expectations.
  • o The group expects the food service activities (barring further lockdown due to COVID-19) to gradually pick up, partly thanks to the stimuli provided by the various governments.
  • o There is a continued focus on innovation. For example, the 'Summer Lasagna' a cold served lasagna - was launched this summer (see picture on the front page). This was launched in both the retail channel and the food service channel.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

The above condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS-34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. These statements do not contain all the information required for full annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the reporting period ended 31 December 2020, as published in the Annual Report to shareholders for the financial year 2020.

These condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 August 2021.

VALUATION AND INTERPRETATION RULES

The accounting standards used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020. Standards and interpretations applicable for the financial year beginning 1 January 2021 do not have a material impact on the balance sheet. The Group also expects that the standards and interpretations published but not yet applicable for the financial year beginning 1 January 2021 will have no material impact.

The methods for valuing assets and liabilities measured at fair value were consistently applied for each applicable category (Level 1: derivatives and Level 3: put/call option relating to KK Fine Foods Ltd.) as described in the 2020 Annual Report. There are no material changes for Level 3 with respect to unobservable market figures as compared to 31 December 2020. No transfers between categories took place during the first 6 months of 2021.

GENERAL

The General Meeting of 27 May 2021 approved the Board of Directors' dividend proposal (gross 4.00 EUR/share). The group's shareholders opted for 56.39% of their shares entitled to dividend to be contributed in exchange for new shares rather than the payment of the dividend in cash.

For Ter Beke this results in a strengthening of its equity of EUR 2,790,569.60 (capital and share premium) through the creation of 26,936 new shares. As a result, the total number of Ter Beke shares will be 1,794,217 as from 1 July 2021. The creation of new shares will also increase the denominator in the calculation of the earnings per share for the entire financial year. The other dividends were paid out in cash on July 5th 2021. Including total withholding tax, this amounts to a total cash payment of EUR 4,278,554.40. This capital increase reduces the debt ratio by approximately 0.7% compared to a 100% dividend payment in cash. As a result of the scrip dividend, a cash outflow was avoided (in proportion to the contribution of the dividend rights to Ter Beke's capital).

With the exception of slightly higher activity at the end of the calendar year, the group's figures are virtually unaffected by seasonal effects.

NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET

Under IAS-34, the balance sheet as at 30 June 2021 should be compared with the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020.

The group invested EUR 7.2 million in property, plant & equipment in the first half of 2021 compared to EUR 15 million in the same period of 2020. This mainly concerns the continuation of efficiency investments and adjustments to the infrastructure at the various sites.

Inventories were slightly higher than last year and increased by EUR 0.9 million to EUR 38.8 million and are due to slightly higher stocks of finished products in the Ready Meals Division, which were low at the end of 2020 in the run-up to the Brexit.

The assets held for sale are related to the transfer of the building in Aalsmeer to assets available for sale.

Furthermore, trade receivables decreased by EUR 12.4 million from EUR 99.5 million to EUR 87 million. This is due to lower turnover figures and strong customer follow-up.

The net financial debts decrease by EUR 7.9 million to EUR 92 million. This decrease is mainly explained by the use of the net positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 22.2 million, minus EUR 12.6 million paid investments (corrected for income from divestments) with paid interests of EUR 1.4 million and purchase of a minority interest of EUR 0.3 million.

The calculation of net financial debt at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 is as follows:

In '000 EUR 30/06/2021 31/12/2020
Cash and cash equivalents -9.596 -19.143
Long-term interest-bearing liabilities 93.156 106.873
Short-term interest-bearing liabilities 8.409 12.179
Net financial debts 91.969 99.909

In order to guarantee the group's further liquidity during the COVID-19 crisis, the group also renegotiated its covenants under the EUR 175 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) with the consortium of banks. The net debt/adjusted EBITDA leverage covenant ratio (all excluding IFRS 16) was adjusted to 4.25 for 30/6/2021 and 3.75 for 31/12/2021. Furthermore, a temporary liquidity covenant was agreed whereby the group must maintain a liquidity headroom of at least EUR 20 million for the period up to and including 31/12/2021. At 30/6/2021, this liquidity headroom exceeded EUR 120 million.

Given the fact that the leverage under the RCF definition falls back to 1.5 at 30/6/2021, the financing cost will fall back to a normal level as of 1/7/2021.

The difference in equity is mainly the result of the profit after tax for the first half of the year and the dividend approved by the General Shareholders Meeting.

Results of operating activities

The 'Services and miscellaneous goods' category comprises:

in '000 EUR 30/06/2021 30/06/2020
Temporary workers and persons put at the
disposal of the company 10.104 11.461
Repair & Maintenance 9.478 10.834
Marketing & Sales costs 1.825 1.957
Transport costs 13.456 15.269
Energy 6.562 6.454
Rent 2.274 2.761
Fees 4.572 5.016
Other 4.425 2.272
Total 52.696 56.024

The 'rent' category consists of the short term leases and low value leases that Ter Beke (based on the possible exemptions in IFRS 16) did not capitalize.

The decrease compared to 2020 is partly due to a more proactive cost control.

We note a strong decrease in the cost of temporary labour and of transportation costs. Transportation costs decreased due to lower sales.

The items 'Other operating income and expenses' consist of:

Other operating income '000 EUR 30/06/2021 30/06/2020 Recovery of wage-related costs 461 331 Recovery of logistic costs 52 Profits from the disposal of assets 1 17 Recovery insurances 100 35 Claims 140 701 Others 795 372 Total 1 549 1 456

Other operating expenses

Loss on sale participation 3 977
Loss on sale fixed assets 22 152
Claims 185 1 081
Others 40 368
Total 6 142 3 504

The other operating income is in line with 2020. The other operating costs show a strong increase due to the loss on the disposal of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg. This sale also has a one-off negative impact on the consolidated cash flows from investing activities. Through this sale Ter Beke further reduces its recurring fixed cost base.

Net financing costs

Net finance costs in the first half of 2021 are 25% higher than in the same period of 2020. This is due to the interest rate increase following the waiver that the Group applied for in 2020 on its Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The group expects the interest expense to decrease substantially again as a result of the positive covenant ratio 'net debt to adjusted EBITDA'.

Taxes

The tax expense amounts to EUR 3.5 million compared to an income of EUR 2 million last year. This change is due to a better result before taxes compared to last year, but also to the non-deductible character of the loss on the sale of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg.

5. REPORT FROM THE STATUTORY AUDITOR ON THE HALF-YEAR INFORMATION

Statutory auditor's report to the board of directors of Ter Beke NV on the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the 6-month period then ended

FREE TRANSLATION OF A REPORT ORIGINALLY PREPARED IN DUTCH

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Ter Beke NV as at 30 June 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the 6-month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". 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 International Standards on Auditing 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the 6-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
