BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT
Concerning the Annual Financial Report
for the period 1st January - 31st December 2022
Kifissia, 28 April 2023
Dear Shareholders,
According to Law 4548/2018, Law 3556/2007 and the implementing decisions of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, we are submitting the present annual report of the Board of Directors referring to the consolidated and the parent company financial data of FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. for the fiscal year ended on 31
December 2022.
- Introduction - relating to the Group as it was prior to the Transaction (as described in Note 26)
Frigoglass (the "Group") is a leading international producer of Ice‐Cold Merchandisers (ICMs) and a leading supplier of high-quality glass containers and complementary packaging products in West Africa. We are a strategic partner of the global beverage brands throughout the world, including Coca‐Cola, Pepsi, AB InBev, Diageo and Heineken. Through our close collaboration with and proximity to our customers, we help them realize their strategic merchandizing plans, from conception and development of new, customized ICMs and glass packaging solutions, to a full portfolio of after‐sales customer service for their cold‐drink equipment.
In ICM Operations, we manufacture and sell ICMs and provide integrated after‐sales customer service for our products and a range of cold‐drink equipment through the unique and innovative platform ''Frigoserve''. Our ICMs are strategic merchandizing tools for our customers, serving not only to chill their products, but also as a retail space that encourages immediate consumption of our customers' products, enhance their brands, enabling increased market penetration and driving their profitability. Our five production facilities are strategically located in Romania (operational from March 2023), Russia, India, Indonesia and South Africa, serving different markets primarily based on their location, import restrictions and cost of transportation.
In Glass Operations, we manufacture and sell glass containers, plastic crates and metal crowns. Our products include a broad range of glass bottles and other containers in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and weights to offer solutions to a wide range of customers operating in the soft drinks, beer, food, spirits, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. We currently operate two glass plants, two plastic crates facilities for returnable glass bottles and one metal crowns plant.
- Financial and Business Review
Discontinued Operations (as described in Note 33)
In 2022, Group's sales from discontinued operations increased by 23.2% y-o-y to €473.3 million. Sales in the Commercial Refrigeration business grew by 11.1% y-o-y, driven by pricing initiatives earlier in the year and increased demand in Asia, Africa and West Europe. This performance was achieved despite the significantly lower orders in Russia and Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict. Sales in Asia were up 66.1% y-o-y, driven by strong demand in India and market share gains in central Asia. Growth momentum continued in Africa, with sales growing by 32.7% y-o-y following increased orders in South Africa, Nigeria and other east African countries, as well as price initiatives. We saw a good recovery in West Europe, with sales up 16.8%, driven by increased beverage consumption in the on-trade channels. Eastern European sales declined by 13.7% y-o-y, reflecting significantly lower orders in Russia and Ukraine. Sales in Russia and Ukraine declined jointly by 31% y-o-y, whereas excluding those two countries sales grew by 2% y-o-y. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Russian and Ukrainian markets accounted for 8.9% and 0.6% of Group's sales. In the Glass

Operations, growth momentum remained strong throughout the year, with sales increasing by 55.1% to €164.0 million. This performance was driven by increased demand across all operations, coupled with price adjustments.
Group's Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations declined by 10.7% y-o-y to €44.8 million, with the respective margin tightening by 3.6 percentage points to 9.5%. Adjusted EBITDA in the Commercial Refrigeration business declined by 64.1% to €7.7 million, driven by increased raw materials cost, higher transportation costs mainly from finished goods transfers from Russia, increased idle cost and a less favorable geographical sales mix. Lower productivity in Romania and Russia following production disruptions and lower cost absorption in Romania due to limitations of the assembly line also weighed on Adjusted EBITDA. These factors outpaced the benefits of volume leverage, price adjustments and lower discounts. Adjusted EBITDA has been aided by €13.9 million related to the Business Interruption claim. Adjusted EBITDA in the Glass business increased by 29.2% to €37.1 million, with respective margin declining by 4.5 percentage points to 22.7%. The margin decline reflects increased production cost and a less favorable energy sourcing mix due to gas outages in one of our plants, outpacing the benefits of volume leverage and pricing.
Continuing Operations
In 2022, Group's Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was negative €1.1 million, compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of €1.0 million in last year, driven by increased administrative expenses.
Regarding the Transaction and the Hive-Down completed after the balance sheet date, refer to Section 6 "Events after Balance Sheet Date and Other Information".
