1° Trimestre	66.8	73.9	- 9.6%	- 10.1%

Despite the pandemic and the containment measures that marked the start of this financial year in TFF group's main geographical areas of activity- including the United States and Europe in particular- its business model has proven its solidity with a well-contained drop in activity that stands at comparable levels for its two markets.

Wine division : 42 M€, - 8,9 % and - 9,7 % like-on-like (perimeter effect +1,2%)

This level of activity demonstrates a solid performance given a volatile and uncertain environment which has led the group's clients to show great caution in terms of investments.

All of our markets are down, but at well-controlled levels due to good our anticipation and strong responsiveness.

Also of note this trimester, the integration from July 1th, 2020 into the Group's activity of the Gauthier Frères' cooperage and stave-mill , which add € 466,000 to our consolidated turnover.

Prudent perspectives

Alcohol division : 24,7 M€, - 11 % and - 10,9 % at like-on-like exchange rates

The Bourbon division saw the first break in the uninterrupted growth cycle that has lasted since 2016, as a result of the postponement of some of its customers' order. With a level of activity identical to that of 2019, the Bourbon division has adopted the wait-and-see attitude of its customers as well as taking into account the delivery difficulties that are the result of the sanitary crisis.

The Scotch Whisky division had a more complicated quarter with an impact from the UK's prolonged sanitary measures which resulted in a decline in activity of around -20%.

The Group remains confident about a return to better levels of activity by the end of the financial year, with some uncertainty nonetheless linked to the finalization of Brexit, the terms of which are still uncertain.

« As of the publication date of this press release, all of our production sites are operational, in compliance with health measures.

For the 2020/2021 fiscal year, it is difficult for the Group to accurately measure the impacts of the Covid 19 epidemic on its activity levels.

However, the solidity of the Group's business model, the competence and mobilization of its teams, the loyalty of its customers, the resilience of its activities and its unique know-how are all assets that allow us to look confidently to the future»
