Management Comment

Zwi Williger & Joseph Williger, Co-Chairmen of Willi-Food, commented: "We are pleased to present strong first quarter 2021 financial results with one of the highest ever quarterly net profit, which resulted from strong operating profit and increases in our investment portfolio. Except for results of the first quarter of 2020, which experienced exceptional sales associated with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company experienced its highest quarterly sales ever, and showed stable growth in sales. The strategy of the Company for the near future is to develop new products and enter new food categories, combined with improving our visibility in the retail stores and strengthening our supply chain. We believe that with our excellent management team and hard work, we will meat the goals that we have set for the Company, and keep improving the Company's results."

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Summary

Sales for the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 9.6% to NIS 116.7 million (US\$ 35.0 million) from NIS 129.1 million (US\$ 38.7 million) recorded in the first quarter of 2020. Sales decreased mainly due to the exceptional increase in demand for the Company's products that occurred in the first quarter of 2020 associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 12.7% to NIS 36.2 million (US\$ 10.9 million) compared to NIS 41.5 million (US\$ 12.5 million) recorded in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to the decrease in sales and increase in external storage cost.

Selling expenses decreased by 7.7% to NIS 15.3 million (US\$ 4.6 million) compared to NIS 16.6 million (US\$ 5.0 million) in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly due to a decrease in advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were NIS 5.9 million (US\$ 1.7 million), remaining at the same level as in the first quarter of 2020.

operating profit for the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 20.9% to NIS 15.0 million (US\$ 4.5 million) compared to NIS 19.0 million (US\$ 5.7 million) in the first quarter of 2020, especially due to the decrease with sales.

Finance income, net totaled NIS 11.5 million (US\$ 3.5 million) compared to Finance expenses, net of NIS 17.4 million (US\$ 5.2 million) in the first quarter of 2020 during the turmoil in the financial markets associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter of 2021 the Company recognized financial income from its portfolio of securities in the amount of NIS 10.3 million (US\$ 3.1 million), financial income from exchange rate differences in the amount of NIS 1.4 million (US\$ 0.4 million), and financial expenses from bank fees in the amount of NIS 0.2 million (US\$ 0.06 million).

Willi-Food's income before taxes for the first quarter of 2021 was NIS 26.6 million (US\$ 8.0 million) compared to income before taxes of NIS 1.2 million (US\$ 0.3 million) in the first quarter of 2020.

Willi-Food's net profit in the first quarter of 2021 was NIS 20.5 million (US\$ 6.1 million), or NIS 1.48 (US\$ 0.44) per share, compared to NIS 1.6 million (US\$ 0.5 million), or NIS 0.09 (US\$ 0.03) per share, recorded in the first quarter of 2020. Net profit for the first quarter of 2021 increased by 1,634.2% yearover-year. The increase in net profit was mainly due to finance income from revaluation of the Company portfolio of securities in the first quarter of 2021 compared to finance expenses from revaluation of the company portfolio of securities in the first quarter of 2020 due to capital markets sharp declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Willi-Food ended the first quarter of 2021 with NIS 371.3 million (US\$ 111.4 million) in cash and securities. Net cash from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021 was NIS 4.2 million (US\$ 1.3 million).
