• ESG Strategy Project started establishing ESG KPIs; reporting and governance structure on track for publication of first ESG policy and reporting for 2022 to be published in 2023

Relevant events after 30 June 2022

• On 27 July Cabka's Hazelwood (MO, USA) plant was forced to shut down due to extreme rainfall and floods. All essential injection molding tools have been successfully recovered and are used to continue supply to key customers using alternative production capacities
• Mr. Wouter van der Woerd was appointed Chief People Officer responsible for HR and organizational development as of 1 July 2022. He is a former member of the Executive Board and VP Human Resources at SHV N.V.

Cabka CEO Tim Litjens, commented: "The first six months of 2022 have shown operational resilience and strong delivery on strategic objectives. The listing on Euronext Amsterdam was a milestone for the company enhancing opportunities for growth as well as consolidating its position as a listed leading innovative circular production company with production output made from 87% recycled materials.

New business continues to come in very strong, leading to record sales of over EUR 102.2 million and good expectations going further powered by our customized solutions knowledge and our highly capable innovation center.

Furthermore, Cabka made a major step in the consolidation of its Eco business driving economies of scale. Although the transition temporarily reduced our recycling capacity we are now back on track and the enhanced synergies will pay out. Regretfully, at the start of the third quarter exceptional floods damaged our production facilities in the US. Also, here Cabka showed resilience quickly securing alternative production capacities to maintain supply to key clients."

Outlook

The first half of 2022 has been characterized by high overall inflation, particularly manifesting itself through significantly higher energy, material, and labor costs. In response Cabka announced multiple rounds of price increases effective per January, April, and August this year.

While the material markets are starting to plateau, or even show some relief, the energy market remains highly volatile, recently moving to new highs. As a result, margins will continue to be impacted short-termuntil prices stabilize.

That said, we reiterate our mid-term guidance with the note that relative EBITDA margin is subject to inflationary developments.
