Income statement 2018

Fiscal year 2018 is characterized by a fall in non-ferrous metal prices from the second semester of the year, which led to a decrease in AMG Peru's sales and consequently in its net income. Despite this fall in prices, operating profit amounted to €1.4 million.

The net result amounts to -4.0 M€. The latter includes a non-recurring financial charge of - €5.8 million, corresponding to the fair value adjustment, in accordance with IFRS 9, of the debt contracted by AMG Peru with SAIL to finance the first capital increase of €5 million of AMG in July 2018. This operation subscribed by AMG Peru was a prerequisite and indispensable condition for the realization of the contribution in kind finalized on February 20, 2019. The restated net result of this operation amounts to €1.8 million.

Income statement 2019

Fiscal 2019 is characterized by the takeover of AMG by the shareholders of AMG Peru. This "Business Combination" transaction (application of IFRS 3) in stages was legally finalized on February 20, 2019.

The consolidated income statement shows a decrease in sales of -0.7 million euros, exclusively from AMG Peru's business; this is mainly due to the fall in metal prices during 2019.

Following the obtaining of the Complementary Prefectorial Order dated November 21, 2019, the "hot commissioning" operations (tests with pulp) of the "Dieu Merci" plant were able to start, but there was no production for fiscal year 2019.

Operating expenses include those of both AMG Peru and AMG. Fiscal year 2019 is strongly impacted by unusual transactions that have accounting consequences of the "Business Combination". As such, taking into account the applicable accounting standards, the Group's consolidated financial statements include :

2

Badwill for €11.6 million, partially offset by the capital loss of €3.9 million recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the disposal of AMG shares at fair value;

Recognition of impairment losses in non-recurring income and expenses :

  1. 0.9 million on AMG Peru mining titles, mainly due to the decline in metal prices and the price outlook given by Worldbank,
  1. 2.7 M€ adjustment on the value of mining titles held by the subsidiary ARMINA ;

A non-recurring financial charge of - €0.8 million, corresponding to the fair value adjustment, in accordance with IFRS 9, of the debt contracted by AMG Peru with SAIL to finance AMG's second capital increase of €10.5 million in February 2019;

The reversal of provisions for social and commercial litigation of +1.8 M€.

The evolution of the liabilities on the balance sheet is notably distinguished by the capital increases that took place in 2019

(capital increase of €10.5 million and realization of the contribution in kind of AMG Peru (formerly BGPP) and by the capital reduction that cleared the losses for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 for an amount of €27.4 million, which resulted in AMG's share capital being equal to €191.9 million. The application of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" resulted in the

release of the accounting reserves related to the contributed company from an accounting and non-legal standpoint, namely

AMG, resulting in Group shareholders' equity at December 31, 2019 of €25.4 million.

Non-current liabilities" mainly consist of provisions for site rehabilitation (€6.6 million).

Current liabilities" mainly comprise financial debts related to the financial support provided by AMG's reference shareholders. As a result of this support, the Group is not significantly indebted to financial institutions. Trade payables have changed significantly due to the supplies required to complete the construction of the "Dieu Merci" plant during the second half of 2019.

2020 OUTLOOK

AMG Guyana

Following the obtaining of the Complementary Prefectorial Order on November 21, 2019, the "commissioning" operations process has been finalized and a first production was carried out at the end of March 2020. Due to the pandemic, the "Dieu Merci" plant was closed from April to May 2020. The technical improvements that were planned during the first semester of 2020 were therefore realized during the second semester of 2020 despite the difficulties related to the pandemic, logistical difficulties, the availability of specialized consultants, and the increase of certain costs such as transport. These efforts have been rewarded, the Dieu Merci plant has resumed production since October 2020. This resumption of production is taking place gradually to take into account the technical improvements made on the site to reach a nominal production of 300 tons per day at the beginning of 2021.

AMG Peru

While many other Peruvian mining companies had to stop their operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, AMG Peru never stopped production and was thus able to limit the decline in turnover despite the drop in raw material prices during this period. AMG Peru has maintained its cash balance while controlling its costs and guaranteeing its employees the best possible sanitary conditions.
