2)	BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") prevailing on June 30, 2022. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information was approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2022.

The information does not have all disclosure requirements for the presentation of full annual financial statements and thus should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the year ended December 31, 2021. The interim condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared on a historical costs basis, except for Argentina that is adjusted for inflation as required by IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies in Argentina, and derivative financial instruments and financial liability related to the option for acquisition of non-controlling interest, which have been measured at fair value. The interim condensed consolidated financial information is for the Atento Group.

The figures in this interim condensed consolidated financial information are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated. U.S. Dollar is the Atento Group's presentation currency.

	10

3) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no significant changes in accounting policies and calculation methods used for the interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2022 in relation to those presented in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB requires the use of certain assumptions and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Some of the accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements required Management to apply significant judgments in order to select the most appropriate assumptions for determining these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on Management experience, advice of consultants and experts, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations prevailing at year end. Management's evaluation considers the global economic situation in the sector in which the Atento Group operates, as well as the future outlook for the business. By virtue of their nature, these judgments are inherently subject to uncertainty. Consequently, actual results could substantially differ from the estimates and assumptions used. Should this occur, the values of the related assets and liabilities would be adjusted accordingly.

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at each reporting date on the events analyzed, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates in coming years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively in accordance with the requirements of IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", recognizing the effects of the changes in estimates in the related statements of operations.

An explanation of the estimates and judgments that entail a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities is as follows:

Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the Atento Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. This obligation may be legal or constructive, deriving from, regulations, contracts, customary practice, or public commitments that would lead third parties to reasonably expect that the Atento Group will assume certain responsibilities. The amount of the provision is determined based on the best estimate of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefit that will be required to settle the obligation, considering all available information as of the reporting date, including the opinions of independent experts such as legal counsel or consultants.

The Company classifies the risk of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible, or remote. If the Company has lawsuits whose values are not known or reasonably estimated, but the likelihood of loss is probable, these will not be recorded, but their nature will be disclosed as well the lawsuits classified as possible.

Given the uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to determine the amount of provisions, actual outflows of resources may differ from the amounts recognized originally on the basis of these estimates.

	11

Fair value of derivatives

The Atento Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks, primarily derived from possible fluctuations in exchange rates. Derivatives are recognized at the inception of the contract at fair value.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are calculated based on observable market data available, either in terms of market prices or through the application of valuation techniques. The valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value of derivative financial instruments include the discounting of future cash flow associated with the instruments, applying assumptions based on market conditions at the valuation date or using prices established for similar instruments, among others. These estimates are based on available market information and appropriate valuation techniques. The fair values calculated could differ significantly if other market assumptions and/or estimation techniques were applied.

b) Standards issued but not yet effective

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Atento Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

4) MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Atento Group's activities are exposed to various types of financial risk: market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Atento Group's global risk management policy aims to minimize the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Atento Group's financial returns. The Atento Group also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

This unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and therefore they should be read in conjunction with the Atento Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 there have not been changes in any risk management policies.

a) Market risk

Interest rate risk in respect of cash flow and fair value

Interest risk arises mainly as a result of changes in interest rates which affect finance costs of debt bearing interest at variable rates (or short-term maturity debt expected to be renewed), as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, and the value of non-current liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates.

Atento Group's finance costs are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. On June 30, 2022, 6,4% of financial debt with third parties (not including derivative financial instrument) bore interests at variable rates, while on December 31, 2021 this amount was 4.4%. In both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the exposure was to the Brazilian CDI rate and the TJLP (Brazilian Long-Term Interest Rate).

We also have exposure to the Brazilian CDI rate on some of our cross-currency swaps entered after the Senior Secured Notes refinancing in February 2021. In such instruments, we exchange a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a variable amount of Brazilian Reais, which is determined as a percentage of CDI (the Brazilian Interbank Market Rate).

	12

Foreign currency risk

Our foreign currency risk arises from local currency revenues, receivables, and payables, while the U.S. dollar is our functional and reporting currency. We benefit to a certain degree from the fact that the revenue we collect in each country, in which we have operations, is generally denominated in the same currency as the majority of the expenses we incur.

In accordance with our risk management policy, whenever we deem it appropriate, we manage foreign currency risk by using derivatives to hedge any exposure incurred in currencies other than those of the functional currency of the countries.

The main source of our foreign currency risk is related to our operations in foreign countries with functional currencies different than U.S Dollars. To reduce the foreign currency risk in our operations in Spain, Peru and Brazil, we entered into cross-currency swaps pursuant to which we exchange a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a fixed amount of Euro and Peruvian Soles (fixed-fixed rate cross-currency swaps), and a fixed amount of U.S. dollars for a variable amount of Brazilian Reais (fixed-floating rate cross-currency swaps).

The total amount of interest (coupon) payments is covered until the final maturity date (February 2026) of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The cross-currency swaps in place also include Principal Exchange in the same currency pairs mentioned above, which mature in February 2024. The referred cross-currency swaps are the only derivative transactions we have in place in Atento Group.

As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the cross-currency swaps totaled a net liability of 122,690 thousand U.S. dollars (net liability of 39,957 thousand U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2021).

b) Credit risk

The Atento Group seeks to conduct all of its business with reputable national and international companies and institutions established in their countries of origin, to minimize credit risk. As a result of this policy, the Atento Group has no material adjustments to make to its credit accounts (see Note 13). Accordingly, the Atento Group's commercial credit risk management approach is based on continuous monitoring of the risks assumed and the financial resources necessary to manage the Group's various units, in order to optimize the risk-reward relationship in the development and implementation of business plans in the course of their regular business.

Credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is managed by placing cash surpluses in high quality and highly liquid money-market assets. These placements are regulated by our Corporate Treasury policy based on the conditions prevailing in the markets and the countries where Atento operates. The Corporate Treasury policy establishes: (i) the maximum amounts to be invested per counterparty, based on their ratings (long- and short-term debt ratings) ; (ii) the maximum period of the investment; and (iii) the instruments in which the surpluses may be invested.

The Atento Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is primarily limited to the carrying amounts of its financial assets. The Atento Group holds no guarantees as collection insurance.

c) Liquidity risk

For June 2022, Company has presented in its interim condensed consolidated Financial Statement a negative shareholders' equity. Since our last extensive analysis performed on December 31, 2021 Company is monitoring monthly the events and transactions that direct impact on equity accounts. On June 30, 2022 there was an impact on equity due to derivative transactions that are a non-cash events so when their effects are excluded, operating profit is generated.

From cash and cash equivalents perspective, Company has presented a positive operational cash flow and free cash flow with an increase in cash and cash equivalents final position of five million U.S. dollars from March 31, 2022 until June 30, 2022.

From financial commitments perspective, Company has presented a decrease in the debt with third parties through payments and no new significant debts. Additionally, Company maintained the same credit facility limit with financial institution and presented a decrease in the drawn revolving credit facility from March 31, 2022 until June 30, 2022 that complies with company strategy to match its debt maturity.

From working capital perspective, Company usually has a tight working capital on June 30, 2022 due to the payment of the full of the Bond and Swap to be paid twice a year (August and February). Company cash and cash equivalents position is sufficient to comply with these commitments. Despite this effect, the Company has a reasonable working capital to continue operation on a monthly basis.

The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The Atento Group seeks to match its debt maturity schedule to its capacity to generate cash flows to meet the payments of financial commitments. In practice, this has meant that the Atento Group's average debt maturity must be long enough to support business operation normal conditions.

4.2 Capital Management

The Atento Group's Finance Department, which is responsible for capital management, takes various factors into consideration when determining the Group's capital structure. Atento Group's capital management goal is to determine the financial resources necessary both to continue its recurring activities, as a going concern, and to maintain a capital structure that optimizes own and borrowed funds.

The Atento Group sets an optimal debt level to maintain a medium-term borrowing structure, in order to carry out its routine activities under normal conditions and to address new opportunities for growth. Debt levels are kept in line with forecasted future cash flows and with quantitative restrictions imposed under financing contracts. In addition to these general guidelines, we take into account other considerations and specifics when determining our financial structure, such as country risk, tax efficiency and volatility in cash flow generation.

The Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility, carries no financial covenant obligations regarding debt levels. However, the notes do impose limitations on dividend distributions, payments or distributions to the shareholders, the incurrence of additional debt, and on investments and disposal of assets. As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Atento Group was in compliance with all restrictions established in the aforementioned financing contracts and does not foresee any future non-compliance. To that end, the Atento Group regularly monitors figures for net financial debt with third parties and EBITDA.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial information, the Atento Group complies with all restrictions established in the aforementioned financing contracts and does not foresee any future non-compliance. To that end, the Atento Group regularly monitors figures for net financial debt with third parties and EBITDA.

4.2 Fair value estimation

a)	Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded on active markets is based on the quoted market price at the reporting date.

b)

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active market (i.e., OTC derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques maximize the use of available observable market data, and place as little reliance as possible on specific company estimates. If all of the significant inputs required to calculate the fair value of financial instrument are observable, the instrument is classified in Level 2. Atento Group's Level 2 financial instruments comprise interest rate swaps used to hedge floating rate loans and cross currency swaps.

c)	Level 3: If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is classified in Level 3.

Atento Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 are classified as Level 2. No transfers were carried out between the different levels during the period.

5) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Atento Group uses EBITDA to track the performance of its segments and to establish operating and strategic targets. Management believes that EBITDA provides an important measure of the segment's operating performance to evaluate and compare the segments' operating results from period to period. EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the period before net finance expense (which includes finance income, finance costs, change in fair value of financial instruments and net foreign exchange losses), income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

10) EQUITY

Share capital

On July 28, 2020, an extraordinary shareholder's meeting approved a reverse share split of 75,406,357 ordinary shares without nominal value, representing the entire share capital of the Company, into 15,000,000 ordinary shares without nominal value using a ratio of 5.027090466672970, and subsequently amended article 5 of the articles of association of the Company.

On January 14, 2022, the Board approved the increase of the Company´s share capital within its authorized share capital by an amount of one thousand twenty-three Euros and thirteen cents (EUR 1,023.13) through the issuance of four hundred fifty-one thousand six hundred sixty-seven (451,667) new shares without nominal value each having an implied par value of EUR 0.002265256, to be paid out of distributable reserves of the Company. The purpose of that share capital increase was to deliver shares to the Atento Group employees under Atento's Omnibus Plan.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's share capital was set as €35,001.98 equivalent to U.S. dollars 50 thousand (€33,979 as of December 31, 2021 equivalent to U.S. dollars 49), represented by 15,451,667 shares (15,000,000 shares on December 31, 2021).

Share premium

The share premium refers to the difference between the subscription price that the shareholders paid for the shares and their nominal value. Since this is a capital reserve, it can only be used to increase capital, offset losses, redeem, reimburse, or repurchase shares. In 2022, the Company vested the total of 451,667 TRSUs with a total impact in share premium of 1,450 thousand of U.S. dollars.

Treasury shares

For June 30, 2022, Atento S.A. held a total of 951,957 own shares

	16

Legal reserve

According to commercial legislation in Luxembourg, Atento S.A. must transfer 5% of its year profits to legal reserve until the amount reaches 10% of share capital. The legal reserve cannot be distributed.

On June 30, 2022, no additional legal reserve had been allocated, mainly due to the losses incurred by Atento S.A.

Hedge accounting effects

On January 1, 2019 Atento formalized at a meeting of the "Board of Directors", which took place on December 20, 2018, its intention to renew the loan agreement between Atento Luxco 1 and Atento Brasil on its maturities per indefinite time and designate it as permanent equity, as the repayment is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-BRL exchange rate is recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.

At the same time, on January 1, 2019, the Cross-Currency Swap USD BRL was designated as a net investment hedge. Prior to the date of designation of the Cross-Currency Swap, this hedging instrument was electively not designated as a hedge accounting because the change in fair value was intended to partially offset changes in the USD-BRL foreign currency component of the BRL denominated intercompany debt, which were recorded in earnings. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-BRL Cross-Currency Swap are recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.

Also, on January 1, 2020 the Company assigned the loan agreement between Atento Luxco 1 and Atento Mexico Holdco as permanent in equity, with its maturities to be renewed per indefinite time, since the repayment is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Therefore, changes in fair value related to the USD-MXN exchange rate are now recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation are considered net investment hedges. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Translation differences

Translation differences reflect the differences arising on account of exchange rate fluctuations when converting the net assets of fully consolidated foreign companies from local currency into Atento Group's presentation currency (U.S. dollars).

13) PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

Atento is involved in legal proceedings, litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business, the outcome of which is inherently uncertain. Labor-related litigation account for the vast majority of our active judicial caseload (with respect to the total number of outstanding proceedings), due to the operational cycle of our business, given that agreements with our clients have a direct impact on our workforce. This implies both individual and collective employment disputes within normal course of business, including claims for dismissals or claims concerning other employment conditions (i.e., daily and general work routines, overtime rules). In addition, we are regularly party to ongoing disputes with local social security authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The main changes in provisions and contingencies between the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended the December 31, 2021 are related to provisions relating to employee claims mainly in Brazil.

Notwithstanding the above, as of June 30, 2022, our main outstanding proceedings are of a tax nature in Brazil and are summarized below:

In March 2018, Atento Brasil S.A. an indirect subsidiary of Atento S.A. received a tax notice from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, related to Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) for the period from 2013 to 2015. Tax authorities has challenged the disallowance of the expenses related to goodwill tax amortization, the deductibility of certain financing costs originated by the acquisition of Atento Brasil S.A. by Bain Capital in 2012, and the Withholding Income Tax for the period of 2012 related to payments made to certain of our former shareholders.

The amount of the tax assessment from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, not including interest and penalties, was 350,542 thousand Brazilian Reais (approximately 69,386 thousand U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate) and was assessed by the Company's outside legal counsel as possible loss to the merit discussion. Since we disagree with the proposed tax assessment, we are defending our position, which we believe is meritorious, through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies. On September 26th, 2018 the Federal Tax Office issued a decision accepting the application of the statute of limitation on the withholding tax discussion. We and the Public Attorney appealed to the Administrative Tribunal (CARF). On February 11th, 2020 CARF issued a partially favourable decision to Atento, confirming the application of the statute of limitation on the withholding tax

discussion and reducing the penalty imposed. On September 18, 2020 the decision issued by CARF regarding the Withholding Income Tax became final (the Public Attorney filed a Special Appeal challenging the penalty reduction and Atento Brasil filed a Special Appeal challenging the goodwill and the financing costs discussion. Both Appeals were not judged yet). Thus, the tax at stake was reduced from 350,542 thousand Brazilian Reais to 230,771 thousand Brazilian Reais (approximately 45,679 thousand U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate). Based on our interpretation of the relevant law and based on the advice of our legal and tax advisors, we believe the position we have taken is sustainable. Consequently, no provisions are recognized regarding these proceedings.

Afterward the issuance of the tax notice in March 2018, the Brazilian tax administration started a procedure to audit the Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) of Atento Brasil S.A. for the period from 2016 to 2017. This tax audit was concluded on July 10th, 2020 with the notification of a tax assessment that rejected the deductibility of the above-mentioned financing expenses and the deductibility of the tax amortization of goodwill.

The total tax assessment notified by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, not including interest and penalties, was 101,604 thousand Brazilian Reais (approximately 20,111 thousand U.S. dollars considering the current currency exchange rate). We disagree with the proposed tax assessment and we are defending our position, which we believe is meritorious, through applicable administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies.
