Financial and Operating Overview
Herein, figures presented above Operating Profit (other than non-recurring items and impairment charges) are shown excluding the impact of non-recurring items as well as the impact resulting from the application of IAS 29.
Adjusted EBITDA refers to EBITDA1 excluding all non-recurring items and not considering Argentine figures according to IAS 29 standards (inflation accounting). All figures are post the application of IFRS 16.
Following the October 12, 2020, amendment to IFRS 16 Leases: Covid 19-Related Rent Concessions by the IASB regarding the accounting for a concession, in the form of forgiveness or deferral of lease payments, as a negative variable lease payment instead of as financial income, we have adjusted retroactively our Q2 2020 reported rental expense to reflect this new approach. As a result, we have deducted €7.4 mm from financial income in the period
and accounted for it as lower rental expense, positively impacting EBITDA. For a detailed breakdown of this adjustment by country please see the Recent Events section at the end of this report.
• FY 2020 Operating Revenue decreased by 57.2% to €594.6 mm as a result of the COVID-19 related closings and operational restrictions. Our entire retail operation was shuttered during most of Q2, with reopenings taking place progressively during Q3 but offset again by additional closings and operational restrictions towards the end of the year.
• FY 2020 Adjusted EBITDA reached €22.5 mm, 92.9% below FY 2019, driven by a negative EBITDA of €23.7 mm in Q2 due to the abovementioned closings, already turning positive in Q3 thanks to the positive contributions from
Spain, Italy, Online and Uruguay. In Q4, Adjusted EBITDA became again negative (€6.1) mm as a result of the temporary closings in some regions and countries as well as further delays in the reopening of Argentina and the State of Mexico.
• FY 2020 Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 3.8%, 19.2 percentage points below FY 2019 due to the lack of revenues not being offset by the decline in operating expenses, despite the implementation of significant cost cutting and efficiency measures in the period. Some of these measures will help us improve our margins upon business normalization in future quarters.
• In FY 2020 we generated a net loss of €236.6 mm, compared to a loss of €61.7 mm last year, mainly as a result of the closings related to COVID-19, and, to a lesser extent, the devaluation of our operating currencies vs. the
USD, partially offset by the accounting implications of the refinancing transaction closed on October 30, 2020.
• Capex in FY 2020 was €37.6 mm, 58.5% below FY 2019, and included €31.5 mm of maintenance capex and €6.1
mm for growth projects.
• As of December 31, 2020, we had €110.3 mm in cash and equivalents vs €103.1 mm as of December 31, 2019
(€145.5 mm including SSRCF availability). Our gross debt amounted to €1,020.6 mm and our net debt to €910.3 mm, or €1,228.9 mm and €1,118.6 mm, respectively, including capitalization of operating leases (as per IFRS 16).
The higher than expected cash position by year end is mainly driven by the deferral of gaming taxes (€31.8mm in PREU) by Italian authorities from December to the first half of 2021. However, the increased number of closings and operating restrictions, as well as the partial payment of some deferred expenses in January, reduced our liquidity position to €85.6 mm in January.
As explained in the Recent Events section, based on the abovementioned closings and pressure on liquidity which is expected to continue during the year, the Company has engaged financial advisors to analyze alternatives to enhance its liquidity and strengthen its capital structure.
• In terms of gaming capacity, our active number of slots by December 31, 2020, was 23,074 (around 41% of our capacity by year end 2019), deployed across all markets except Italy. In terms of venues, we had 79 gaming halls in operation, 1,049 arcades, 153 sports betting shops and 5,410 bars. These figures do not include further halls that are temporarily closed in Mexico, Panama and Colombia and the temporary closing of bars in certain regions in Spain in January.
1 EBITDA, as defined by the Company, is operating profit (EBIT) plus depreciation and amortization, variation in provisions for trade transactions, gains / (losses) on asset disposals, and impairment charges.

• Operating Revenue decreased by €794.8 mm or 57.2% to €594.6 mm in FY 2020, due to the COVID-19 related closings. The most significant decreases took place in Argentina (€246.5 mm as it was the only market that remained fully closed between March and December), Mexico (€209.9 mm) and Italy (€188.6 mm).
• Operating Expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased by €498.3 mm or 46.6% to €572.1
mm, as a result of reductions across variable costs in all our markets and to the multiple temporary cost containment measures deployed by management, especially in Argentina (€163.2 mm), Italy (€156.1 mm),
Mexico (€91.8 mm) and Spain (€43.1 mm).
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by €296.5 mm to €22.5 mm in FY 2020, as a result of the decrease in revenue and the closings affecting all of our markets. The significant revenue decline in our retail operations was only partially offset by the reduction in costs, as the volatility in the openings, closings and operational restrictions made it difficult to align fixed costs to revenue generation.
• Non-Recurring Items in FY 2020 were €28.3 mm (€6.6 mm of which were related to the refinancing process)
while marketing investments to grow our online business accounted for an additional €14.3 mm.
• Inflation Adjustment in FY 2020 represents a loss of €0.6 mm (impact on EBITDA). At the net income level, the impact is a net loss of €7.1 mm.
• Impairment Charges in FY 2020 amounted to €2.0 mm.
• Operating Profit (prior to considering inflation accounting for Argentina) decreased by €287.7 mm to an operating loss of €193.4 mm in FY 2020.
• Interest Expense (including financial expenses from capitalized operating leases) increased by €9.8 mm to €120.5 mm driven by the incremental interest on the newly issued €250 mm super senior secured notes.
• Interest Income increased by €57.4 mm to €62.5 mm as a result of the €60.3 mm interest income in Q4 related to the accounting treatment of the refinancing transaction, whereby the amended and restated notes are considered, for accounting purposes, as new debt, and therefore registered at fair value upon completion of the transaction (October 30, 2020).
• Gains on Financial Investments reached €5.1 mm in FY 2020 vs a loss of €2.1 mm in 2019.
• Losses on Exchange Rate Variations reached €16.4 mm in FY 2020 derived from the appreciation of the USD against our LATAM operating currencies in the beginning of the year, although the trend partially reversed since Q2 and more meaningfully in Q4.
• Provision for Corporate Income Tax decreased by €27.4 mm to €13.2 mm in FY 2020 driven by significant decreases in accrued corporate income taxes as a result of the reduction of profit before taxes in all of our business units (especially in Argentina), and reduced withholding taxes payments across the Group.
• Minority Interest represents a gain of €20.3 mm in FY 2020.
• As a result of the aforementioned results, the Net Loss in FY 2020 was €236.6 mm, compared to a Net Loss of €61.7 mm in FY 2019.

• Operating Revenue in FY 2020 decreased by €209.9 mm (68.2%) compared to FY 2019 due to the closing of all of our gaming halls in the country during the second quarter and only partial reopening during the third and fourth one (39 halls opened as of December 31).
• Operating Expenses (excluding D&A) decreased by €91.8 mm (48.1%) in FY 2020 mainly as a result of our significant efforts to reduce and defer personnel expenses, rentals and other fixed costs. Given the absence of government support programs for furloughed employees we provided partial compensation to our employees during the closings, resulting in modest savings in personnel costs relative to the revenue decline.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by €118.1 mm to negative €1.1 mm as a result of the significant decline in revenues due to the closings which resulted in positive EBITDA generation only in Q1.
• As of December 31, the number of halls in operation had decreased to 39 from 61 in September (after the closing, among others, of those in Mexico City). Still, most of our halls are operating under different capacity, opening hours and/or age restrictions as defined in each specific state. As of February 24, we have 44 halls in operation.

• Operating Revenue in FY 2020 decreased by €246.5 mm or 77.7% compared to FY 2019, due to the bingo hall closings between March 16 and December 14, as well as to the significant devaluation of the Peso (50.1%) against the euro.
• Operating Expenses (excluding D&A) decreased by 68.2% driven by a reduction in gaming taxes, which are variable, and across all fixed operating expenses such as personnel and rentals.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by €83.3 mm to negative €5.5 mm, compared to €77.8 mm in FY 2019 as a result of the absence of revenues in Q2, Q3 and Q4 (except for the last 2 weeks).

• Operating Revenue in FY 2020 declined by €73.4 mm (38.7%) to €116.4 mm compared to FY 2019, driven by closings of bars, restaurants, arcades and bingo halls between March 14 and mid-June, followed by additional temporary closings in certain regions, as well as the capacity, opening hour restrictions and curfews upon reopening, especially towards year end.
• Operating Expenses (excluding D&A) decreased by 30.3% to €99.2 mm in FY 2020, as a result of our significant cost containment efforts on all items, notably personnel, where we achieved a 32.6% reduction in costs thanks to the temporary reductions of employment (ERTEs), and gaming taxes, which we reduced by nearly 29% despite the fact they are fixed in Spain.
• Adjusted EBITDA declined 63.8% to €17.2 mm. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 10.2 percentage points to 14.8% versus last year driven by the significant disruption on our revenue generation.

• Operating Revenue in FY 2020 decreased by €188.6 mm or 54.9% compared to FY 2019 as a result of the mandatory closings that took place in the country, initially between March 8 and mid-June, but also since late October through year end, as well as from the permanent closing of 2 of our bingo halls.
• Operating Expenses (excluding D&A) decreased by 49.6% in FY 2020 to €158.6 mm compared to FY 2019, as a result of significant decreases across all cost items, especially gaming taxes.
• Adjusted EBITDA was negative €3.9 mm in FY 2020, due to the nearly 6 months of complete closing of our operations between mid-March and mid-June and since late October through year end.
• In addition, in mid-September we closed our bingo hall in Lecce in order to relocate it. We expect to reopen it in Q2
2021. The full closing of our operations continued into 2021 and, as of the date of this report, our expectation as per the latest government decree is that we will be able to reopen by March 5.

Other Operations includes results from Panama, Uruguay, Colombia and Online, but excludes Corporate Overhead.
Operating revenue decreased by €76.3 mm (33.0%), to €155.0 mm as a result of:
• A combined decrease in Panama and Colombia of €65.8 mm due to the closing of operations between March and
October, as well as additional regional closings in Panama in December.
• A decrease in Uruguay of €21.9 mm due to the closing of its operations between March and mid-May (in the case of the racetrack), and August in the case of the HRU associated gaming halls.
Please note that the revenue recognition mechanics in our gaming hall operation in Uruguay have begun to reflect the impact of the closures in this business in Q4 2020.
• An increase of €11.5 mm on Online revenues coming mostly from the second half of the year, where the very strong performance (58.7% growth in Q4) offset the weak revenue trend in the second quarter due to the cancellation or postponement of most of the major sports events.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by €29.7 mm (52.1%), to €27.4 mm as a result of:
• A decrease in Panama of €19.4 mm, affected by the casino closings in Q2, Q3 and to a lesser extent Q4.
• A decrease in Colombia of €7.1 mm, also impacted by closings in Q2 and most of Q3.
• A decrease in Uruguay of €3.2 mm.
Adjusted EBITDA margin in FY 2020 was 17.6%, 7.1 percentage points below that of FY 2019.

• Cash flow from operations in FY 2020 was negative €33.3 mm, a decrease of €210.5 mm versus €177.2 mm in FY
2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease of €305.3 mm in reported EBITDA partially offset by a €31.7 mm reduction in corporate income tax paid and a €56.8 mm decrease in the working capital outflow (to an inflow of €57.8 mm). Inflation adjustments (IAS 29 accounting in Argentina) and Capitalized Operating Leases (IFRS 16) are excluded in the cash flow calculations, as they are non-cash items in the Income Statement.
• Cash flow from investing in FY 2020 was €37.2 mm, a decline of 58.9% vs. FY 2019, and included €37.6 mm of capital expenditures partially offset by €0.4 mm of cash from acquired companies. Within capital expenditures, €31.5
mm were related to maintenance and €6.1 mm to growth initiatives.
1 The difference between this figure and management reporting of net working capital corresponds mostly to non-cash FX movements in certain balance sheet items.
2 Figures reflect accrued amounts, including contingency payments (if any), and prior to any deferred payment arrangements (if applicable).
3 Includes opening of greenfield gaming halls, increase of capacity on existing ones, deployment and expansion of sports betting points of sale, among other projects.
4 Includes acquisition of gaming halls, slot operators and acquisition of product through previously operated through revenue share or operational agreements.
5 Includes changes in deferred payments related to capital expenditures.
6 Figure reflects dividends paid to minority partners net of dividends received from Group investments in unconsolidated entities.
7 Includes impact of FX differences on non-operational cash inflows and outflows.
• Cash flow from financing was €89.1 mm in FY 2020 and included:
• €81.8 mm of cash interest expense, including €53.8 mm related to the coupon payments on our Senior
Notes, €11.2 mm related to our refinancing process, €3.4 mm related to our SSRCF, €1.8 mm to the coupon payment on the newly issued €250 mm super senior notes and €11.6 mm related to OpCo debt (including capital leases);
• €1.2 mm of cash interest income;
• €182.8 mm increase in financial debt made up of:
(i) €221.1 mm net proceeds raised from the issuance of the €250.0 mm new super senior notes;

Balance Sheet |
2
Net Working Capital | (84.6) | (134.3) (49.7) | (58.9%) |
• Total assets decreased by €308.6 mm in FY 2020. This decrease is principally attributable to a decrease in fixed assets, intangible assets, right of use assets (IFRS-16), taxes receivable and goodwill.
• Current Assets decreased by €55.7 mm, as a result of a €49.2 mm decrease in taxes receivable partially offset by a €7.2 mm increase in cash & equivalents.
• Financial debt, including both the short and long term portion increased by €116.2 mm as a result of the issuance of €250.0 mm new super senior notes, partially offset by the full repayment of €95.0 mm on the SSRCF.
• Minority interests decreased by €35.9 mm to €45.2 mm and shareholders' equity decreased by €288.3 mm to negative €326.3 mm due to the €236.6 mm loss in the year together with exchange rate impacts.
• Increased levels of commercial payables are reflected across several items of the balance sheet:
o First in current tax receivables and payables (receivables are significantly reduced as a consequence of the lower activity while payables remain stable despite such reduction).
o Second, as we are reporting an increase of accounts payable when, due to the reduced activity, such amount should have decreased.
o Third, as deferred payments are only increasing modestly when minimal capital expenditures are being done by the company, reflecting the re-scheduling of expected payment installments in 2020 from prior years' executed investments. On the other hand, significant devaluation of local currencies against the Euro have partially offset the impact of this increase of payables in the balance sheet.
Net Working Capital
• Net working capital decreased by €49.7 mm to negative €134.3 mm, primarily due to a €24.7 mm increase in taxes payable, net6, a €15.1 mm decrease in accounts receivable, a € 3.6 mm decrease in inventory and a €3.3 mm increase in accounts payable.
1 The difference between this figure and the consolidated Cash Flow Statement corresponds mostly to non-cash FX movements in certain balance sheet items.

Recent Events
• COVID-19 business update. Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the lockdowns imposed by governments across the globe, the Company closed all of its retail operations during March 2020.
As of today, we have resumed operations in all markets but the evolution of the pandemic since October has caused some additional temporary closings and increased restrictions, materially impacting the Company's revenue and cash flow generation ability. Please refer to the presentation accompanying our Q4 2020 Results where a detailed operational update by country is provided.
• Negotiations with lenders. The abovementioned worse than expected operational situation has had a negative impact on cash generation and the company faces a challenging transition period to recover business normality by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
In this context, the company has engaged financial advisors to assess financial alternatives to improve its liquidity and support the company to be able to meet its financial and operational obligations in 2021. As of today the company is in constructive conversations with an Ad Hoc Committee of the largest holders of its New Super Senior Notes and their financial and legal advisors to discuss, agree and implement such alternatives.
The company expects to reach an agreement in the next weeks which will provide a solid foundation for the recovery of the operations in all of its markets.
• Refinancing Transaction. On October 30, the Company completed the refinancing transaction (described in detail in previous Earnings Releases in 2020) which included, among others, the issuance of €250 mm New Super Senior Notes, amendments to the terms of the existing notes including an extension of maturities, amendments to the debt baskets and the addition of a minimum liquidity covenant.
• Advertising regulation in Spain. On November 4, 2020, the Spanish Government approved a new Royal Decree introducing more restrictions on gambling advertising. The new law imposes a total ban on betting and gaming adverts online and on social media, and also bans it from airing on radio and television except between 1:00 am and 5:00 am. It also prohibits betting and gaming operators from sponsoring sporting events or teams. Advertising contracts already in place will be subject to "a moratorium" until the end of the sporting season in August 2021.
• Change in Board composition. The Board of Directors, in its meeting held on February 18, 2021, accepted the decision by Masampe S.L., to replace its representative in the Board, removing Mr. Pío Cabanillas Alonso and appointing Mr. Gerardo Sánchez Revenga for such position. As a result, the Board of Directors is currently composed by:
• Mr. Norman Raúl Sorensen Valdez - Independent Chairman.
• MASAMPE, S.L., represented by Mr. Gerardo Sánchez Revenga - Proprietary Director.
• Mr. David Anthony Reganato - Proprietary Director.
• Mr. Timothy Lavelle - Proprietary Director.
• Mr. Manuel Martínez-Fidalgo Vázquez - Proprietary Director.
• Mr. Matthew Turner - Independent Director.
• Share capital reduction. On July 24, 2020, the General Shareholder Meeting of Codere agreed to reduce the share capital of the Company by € 450,445,638.8 by reducing the nominal value of each share outstanding by €3.8, from €4.3 to €0.5.
