GLOBAL RELEASE LINERS S.L.U.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
(ITASA Group)

Consolidated Financial Statements
for the Year Ended
December 31, 2020


Authorized by the Management of ITASA Group
on June 10, 2021



Report of Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors of Global Release Liners, S.L.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Global Release Liners, S.L. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows as of and for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information in Spain as detailed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and, specifically, the accounting principles and criteria contained therein; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion
As disclosed in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared solely for the purpose of meeting the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Rule 3-05”). Rule 3-05 only requires the accompanying financial statements to be prepared as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020; accordingly, no comparative financial information is presented. The applicable regulatory framework for financial information in Spain requires that consolidated financial statements be presented with comparative financial information.

Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Global Release Liners, S.L. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain.




Emphasis of matter
The Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information in Spain, which differs in certain respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the qualitative and quantitative nature of such differences is presented in Note 21 to the financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

1.NATURE AND MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP
Global Release Liners S.L.U., hereinafter the “Parent Company”, was incorporated on November 8, 2016 under the name Boaco Directorship, S.L., with its registered office at Barrio Sorabilla sn, Andoain, Guipúzcoa.
On December 20, 2016, the General Meeting of Shareholders agreed to change the company name to the current name of Global Release Liners, S.L.U.
Likewise, on December 20, 2016, the Parent Company acquired 100% of Industrias de Transformación de Andoain, S.A., domiciled in Guipúzcoa (Spain), hereinafter “ITASA”, which in turn held an 80% interest in Itamar, SA de CV, domiciled in Mexico. In addition, an agreement was signed with the same shareholders whereby they undertook to acquire all the shares of Itasa Asia Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia), subject to the fulfillment of a number of conditions that were very likely to be met, which is why effective control of this company was deemed to have taken place on December 20, 2016. In April 2017, the purchase process of this company was completed.
On November 29, 2017, Itasa Américas, S.A. de C.V. was incorporated in Mexico.
On July 31, 2018, ITASA proceeded to dispose of the shares it held in Itamar, S.A. de C.V. for an amount of €412,000. Due to the disposal transaction, the Group recorded a loss of €130,000, which was recorded under “Result on loss of control of investments in consolidated companies” in the consolidated income statement for 2018.
Given that the balances and activity of Itamar, S.A. de C.V. was not significant and that the activity carried out by this subsidiary has continued without interruption through the subsidiary Itasa Américas, S.A. de C.V., it did not proceed to consider the activity of the subsidiary that ceased to form part of the Group as a discontinued operation.
Consequently, after these transactions, the consolidation perimeter as of December 31, 2020 is as follows:

Company and domicileDirectIndirect
Fully consolidated companies
Industrias de Transformación de Andoain (ITASA) (Spain)100%
Itasa Asia Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia)100%
Itasa Américas, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico)100%
The main activity of the subsidiaries and the Group is the manufacture and marketing of siliconized paper. The Parent Company's main activity is the holding of shares, advisory and consulting services in general.
In accordance with the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 of November 16 and Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, the Company is required to present consolidated financial statements together with its subsidiaries.
7



2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 of November 16, and with Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, approving the Rules for the Formulation of Consolidated Financial Statements as well as with the other applicable commercial regulations in force.
The figures included in the consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of euros, unless otherwise indicated.
2.1Faithful image
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the auxiliary accounting records of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, and the legal provisions in force on accounting matters have been applied in order to present a true and fair view of the Group's consolidated net worth, financial position, and results. The statement of cash flows has been prepared in order to report fairly the source and use of monetary assets representing cash and cash equivalents of the consolidated Group.
2.2Comparative information
The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of the new shareholder (see Note 20) under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, they do not include comparative figures.
2.3Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are defined as companies included in the scope of consolidation in which the Parent Company has or may have direct or indirect control. Control over a company is considered to exist when it has the power to direct the financial and operating policies of a business for the purpose of obtaining economic benefits from its activities.
When the Parent Company's direct and indirect ownership interest in other companies exceeds 50% or, if less, it holds the majority of the voting rights or exercises control over their financial and operating policies, the consolidation procedure followed by the Company is that of full consolidation.
The subsidiaries have been fully consolidated, integrating in the consolidated financial statements all their assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows, after making the corresponding adjustments and eliminations of intra-group transactions.
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The acquisition cost is determined by the sum of:
a)The fair value of assets delivered, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. However, when the fair value of the acquired business is more reliable, it will be used to estimate the fair value of the consideration given.
b)The fair value of any contingent consideration that depends on future events or the fulfillment of certain conditions, which should be recorded as an asset, liability or equity according to its nature, unless the consideration would result in the recognition of a contingent asset that would result in the recognition of income in the income statement.

The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method:
1.The carrying amounts of equity investments in subsidiaries are offset, at the date of acquisition, against the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
8


2.The difference between the carrying amount of the interest in the subsidiary and the value attributable to such interest of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized, if positive, as goodwill in consolidation. In the exceptional case that it is negative, as income for the year in the consolidated income statement.
3.The assets and liabilities of the Group companies are included in the consolidated balance sheet at the same values at which they appear in the respective balance sheets of those companies, except for assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value at the date of acquisition, after considering depreciation and impairment losses since that date.
4.Income and expenses of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements.
5.Debits and credits between companies included in the consolidation, income and expenses related to transactions between such companies and the results generated as a result of such transactions, which have not been realized with respect to third parties, are eliminated.
When control is acquired in stages, the equity instruments of the subsidiary held by the Group prior to the acquisition of control are adjusted to their fair value at the date of acquisition, recognizing the difference with their previous carrying amount in the income statement.
As of December 31, 2020, the subsidiaries did not hold any shares issued by the Parent Company.
Intercompany balances and transactions
The following transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation process:
Reciprocal debits and credits and expenses and income from intra-group transactions.
Gains on the sale and purchase of property, plant, and equipment and unrealized gains on inventories or other assets, if significant.
Internal dividends and the debit balance corresponding to interim dividends recorded in the distributing company.
Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the acquirer shall measure any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are recorded as expenses in the income statement.
When the Group acquires a business, it will classify or designate the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as necessary on the basis of the contractual arrangements, economic conditions, its accounting and operating policies and other relevant conditions existing at the acquisition date.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group will remeasure its previously held equity interests in the acquiree at their fair value at the acquisition date and recognize the resulting gains or losses, if any, in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are recognized, with any resulting gain or loss recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be revalued and its subsequent settlement should be accounted for in equity.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured, at the time of acquisition, at cost, which is the excess of the amount of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in
9


the acquiree over the amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the consideration is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired company, the difference is recognized in income.
Goodwill is initially measured, at the time of acquisition, at cost, which is the excess of the cost of the business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed.
In accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 10 years. At least annually, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for indications of impairment and, if any, are tested for impairment.
Impairment losses recognized in goodwill may not be reversed in subsequent years.
Standardization of accounting principles
The consolidated financial statements include accounting adjustments, if any, to conform the accounting principles and procedures applied by the companies included in the scope of consolidation to those applied by the Group.
Provisional accounting
If at the closing date of the tax year in which the business combination occurred, the valuation process necessary to apply the acquisition method could not be completed, the financial statements will be prepared using provisional values.
The provisional values will be adjusted in the period necessary to obtain the information required to complete the initial accounting (hereinafter, valuation period). This period shall in no case exceed one year from the date of acquisition.
In any case, adjustments to provisional values shall only incorporate information relating to facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and, had they been known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
Some changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recognized by the acquirer after the acquisition date may result from additional information that the acquirer obtains after the acquisition date about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. These changes are valuation period adjustments.
However, changes in contingent consideration resulting from events occurring after the acquisition date, such as reaching a certain price per share or a specific milestone in a research and development project, are not valuation period adjustments.
Adjustments recognized to complete the initial accounting will be made retroactively, i.e., in such a way that the resulting values are those that would have been derived had the information initially been included.
Therefore:
a)Adjustments to the initial value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are considered to be made at the acquisition date.
b)The value of the goodwill or negative goodwill is adjusted, with effect from the acquisition date, by an amount equal to the adjustment made to the initial value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed or at the cost of the combination.
c)The comparative information shall incorporate the adjustments.
After the period mentioned in this section has elapsed, adjustments to the initial valuations shall only be made when it is necessary to correct errors in accordance with the provisions of the standard relating to
10


changes in accounting policies, errors, and accounting estimates. Subsequent changes will be recognized as changes in estimates in accordance with the aforementioned standard on changes in accounting policies, errors, and accounting estimates.
Translation of financial statements of foreign companies
The items in the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated separate income statement of the foreign companies included in the consolidation are translated by applying the closing exchange rate method according to which the translation involves:
All assets, rights and obligations are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the closing date of the financial statements of foreign companies.
The items in the consolidated separate income statement are translated using an average exchange rate.
The difference between the amount of equity of foreign companies, including the balance of the separate consolidated income statement as described in the preceding paragraph, translated at the historical exchange rate, is recorded, with the corresponding negative or positive sign, in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position under “Translation differences”.
Transactions in currencies other than each company's functional currency are recorded for accounting purposes using the exchange rates in effect on the dates on which the transactions are carried out in those companies, and the functional currency amounts are subsequently translated to euros as explained in this note.
2.4Critical aspects of judgments and estimation
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates that are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered reasonable under the present circumstances and are the basis for establishing the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities whose values are not readily determinable from other sources. The consolidated Group reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis. However, given the inherent uncertainty, there is a significant risk that material adjustments to the values of the assets and liabilities affected could arise in the future if there is a significant change in the assumptions, facts, and circumstances on which they are based. These adjustments, if any, will be recorded prospectively, recognizing the effects of such changes in the consolidated financial statements for the corresponding fiscal year.
The key assumptions about the future, as well as other relevant data on the estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing significant changes in the value of assets or liabilities in the next year are as follows:
Impairment of non-current assets
The valuation of non-current assets, other than financial assets, requires estimates to be made in order to determine their recoverable value for the purpose of assessing possible impairment, especially for goodwill. To determine this recoverable amount, the Company's directors estimate the expected future cash flows of the assets or cash-generating units of which they form a part and use an appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Future cash flows depend on meeting the budgets for the next five years, while the discount rates depend on the interest rate and risk premium associated with each cash-generating unit.
2.5Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's activity
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization upgraded the public health emergency caused by the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) to an international pandemic. The evolution of events, on a national and international scale, has led to an unprecedented health crisis that has impacted the macroeconomic environment and the evolution of business. During 2020, a series of measures have been adopted to address the economic and social impact generated by this situation, which, among
11


other aspects, has led to restrictions on the mobility of people. In particular, the Spanish Government proceeded, among other measures, to declare a state of alarm through the publication of Royal Decree 463/2020, of March 14, which was lifted on July 1, 2020, and to approve a series of extraordinary urgent measures to address the economic and social impact of COVID-19 through, among others, Royal Decree-Law 8/2020, of March 17. At the date of preparation of these financial statements, the state of alert declared by the Spanish Government through Royal Decree 926/2020, dated October 25, initially approved until November 9, 2020, and which, through Royal Decree 956/2020, dated November 3, has been extended until May 9, 2021, is in force.
While the evolution of the pandemic is having an impact on the overall economy, the Group's business model has shown great resilience due to its high degree of sector and geographic diversification, as well as its partial exposure to essential hygiene and medical products. In this regard, it should be noted that most of the Group's subsidiaries have not ceased their activities at any time, despite the impact of the measures implemented to protect the health and well-being of workers.
3.RECORDING AND VALUATION STANDARDS
The main accounting and valuation criteria used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
3.1Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially valued at cost, either the acquisition price or the production cost.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are valued at cost, less accumulated amortization and, if applicable, the accumulated amount of impairment losses recorded.

Customer portfolio and orders
The customer portfolio has been valued at acquisition cost, as part of the assets acquired in the ITASA acquisition, using the multi-period excess earnings methodology (“MEEM”), whereby the value of the asset is estimated through the sum of future “excess earnings” discounted to present value, from which the charges for contributory assets are subtracted.
They are amortized proportionally to the discounted cash flows expected to be generated assuming estimated abandonment rates based on historical experience. In this regard, the Group has determined the following amortization percentages for the customer portfolio:

20172018201920202021202220232024202520262027
17%17%15%13%10%8%6%5%4%3%2%
The order backlog has been valued according to the expected cash flows of such backlog at the time of the ITASA acquisition, having been fully amortized in the first year.
Computer software
Computer software is recorded at cost incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 4 years.
Maintenance costs are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.
3.2Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are initially valued at cost, either the acquisition price or the production cost.
12


After initial recognition, property, plant, and equipment are valued at cost, less accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, the accumulated amount of impairment losses recorded.
The cost of assets acquired or produced after January 1, 2008, which require more than one year to be ready for use, includes financial expenses accrued before the fixed assets are ready for use and which meet the requirements for capitalization.
Repairs that do not represent an extension of useful life and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. The costs of expansion or improvement that result in an increase in production capacity or a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalized as an increase in the value of the asset.
Work carried out by the Group on its productive fixed assets is valued at production cost, which includes raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overheads.
Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, beginning in the month following the month in which they are available for use.
The years of estimated useful life for the various items of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:

Years useful life
Technical installations and machinery5 - 8 years
Transport elements5 years
Furniture6.6 years
Data processing equipment4 years
At each year-end, the residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods for property, plant, and equipment are reviewed and, where appropriate, adjusted prospectively.
3.3Impairment of non-financial assets
At least at year-end, the Group assesses whether there are indications that any non-current assets or, where appropriate, cash-generating units may be impaired and, if indications exist, their recoverable amounts are estimated.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. When the carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is incurred. Value in use is the present value of expected future cash flows, using risk-free market interest rates, adjusted for the specific risks associated with the asset. For those assets that do not generate cash flows to a significant extent independent of those derived from other assets or groups of assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating units to which those assets belong, meaning the minimum group of elements that generate cash flows to a significant extent, independent of those derived from other assets or groups of assets.
Impairment losses and their reversal are recorded in the income statement. Impairment losses are reversed when the circumstances that gave rise to them cease to exist, except for goodwill. The reversal of the impairment is limited to the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined if the related impairment had not been previously recognized.
3.4Leases
Contracts are classified as finance leases when it is clear from their economic conditions that substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset are transferred to the lessee. Otherwise, the contracts are classified as operating leases.
13


Operating lease payments are recorded as an expense in the income statement when accrued.
3.5Financial assets
Classification and valuation
Loans and receivables
This category includes trade and non-trade receivables, which include financial assets whose collections are of a determined or determinable amount, which are not traded in an active market and for which the Group expects to recover the full amount disbursed, except, if applicable, for reasons attributable to the debtor's solvency.
Upon initial recognition in the balance sheet, they are recorded at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to them.
After their initial recognition, these financial assets are valued at their amortized cost.
However, trade receivables maturing in less than one year and which do not have a contractual interest rate, as well as advances and loans to personnel, dividends receivable and disbursements required on equity instruments, the amount of which is expected to be received in the short term, are initially and subsequently valued at their nominal value, when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant.
The difference between the fair value and the amount delivered of the guarantees for operating leases is considered an advance payment for the lease and is charged to the income statement during the lease period. In calculating the fair value of the guarantees, the remaining period is taken as the minimum contractual term committed.
Financial assets held for trading
Hedging derivatives include financial assets originated or acquired for the purpose of obtaining short-term gains. Derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedging instruments are also included in this category.
Upon initial recognition in the balance sheet, they are recorded at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price. Transaction costs directly attributable to them are recognized in the income statement. For equity instruments, the initial value includes the amount of preferential subscription rights and similar rights that have been acquired.
After initial recognition, financial assets held for trading are measured at fair value, without deducting any transaction costs that might be incurred on disposal. Changes in fair value are charged to the income statement.
Available-for-sale financial assets
They include debt securities and equity instruments that have not been included in the previous categories.
Upon initial recognition in the balance sheet, they are recorded at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to them. For equity instruments, the initial value includes the amount of preferential subscription rights and similar rights that have been acquired.
After initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at fair value, without deducting any transaction costs that might be incurred on disposal. Changes in fair value are recorded directly in
14


equity until the financial asset is derecognized or impaired, at which time the amount recognized in equity is taken to the income statement. However, gains and losses resulting from exchange differences on monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the income statement.
Equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated are measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses.
In the event of sale of subscription and similar preemptive rights or segregation of the same to exercise them, the amount of the cost of the rights will decrease the book value of the respective assets.
Hedging derivatives
Hedging derivatives include financial derivatives classified as hedging instruments. Financial instruments that have been designated as hedging instruments or hedged items are valued as established in Note 3.8.
Cancellation
Financial assets are derecognized from the Group's balance sheet when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have expired or when they are transferred, provided that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred.
If the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, the asset is derecognized when control is not retained. If the Group retains control of the asset, it continues to recognize it for the amount to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset, i.e., for its continuing involvement, recognizing the associated liability.
The difference between the consideration received net of attributable transaction costs, considering any new asset obtained less any liability assumed, and the carrying amount of the financial asset transferred, plus any cumulative amount recognized directly in equity, determines the gain or loss arising on derecognition of the financial asset and forms part of the profit or loss for the year in which it arises.
The Company does not derecognize financial assets in assignments in which it retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, such as bill discounting, factoring transactions, sales of financial assets under repurchase agreements at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, and securitizations of financial assets in which the Company retains subordinated financing or other types of guarantees that absorb substantially all the expected losses. In these cases, the Company recognizes a financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received.
Interest and dividends received from financial assets
Interest and dividends on financial assets accrued after the time of acquisition are recorded as income in the income statement. Interest is recognized using the effective interest method and dividends are recognized when the right to receive them is declared.
For these purposes, in the initial valuation of financial assets, the amount of explicit interest accrued and not yet due at that time, as well as the amount of dividends agreed by the competent body up to the time of acquisition are recorded separately in the initial valuation of the financial assets, based on their maturity. Explicit interest is understood to be that obtained by applying the contractual interest rate of the financial instrument.
3.6Impairment of the value of financial assets
The carrying value of financial assets is adjusted by the Group with a charge to the income statement when there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred.
15


In determining impairment losses on financial assets, the Group assesses potential losses on both individual assets and groups of assets with similar risk characteristics.
Debt instruments
There is objective evidence of impairment in debt instruments, understood as accounts receivable, loans and debt securities, when an event occurs after their initial recognition that has a negative impact on their estimated future cash flows.
The Group considers as impaired assets (doubtful assets) those debt instruments for which there is objective evidence of impairment, which mainly refers to the existence of defaults, unpaid items, refinancing and the existence of data showing the possibility of not recovering all the agreed future cash flows or that there will be a delay in their collection.
In the case of financial assets measured at amortized cost, the amount of impairment losses is equal to the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of future cash flows estimated to be generated, discounted at the effective interest rate existing at the time of initial recognition of the asset. For financial assets at variable interest rates, the effective interest rate at the closing date of the consolidated financial statements is used. For trade and other receivables, the Group considers as doubtful assets those balances with overdue items for which there is no certainty of collection and the balances of companies that have filed for insolvency proceedings.
The reversal of impairment is recognized as income in the income statement and is limited to the carrying amount of the financial asset that would have been recorded at the date of reversal if no impairment had been recorded.
3.7Financial liabilities
Classification and valuation
Debits and payables
These include financial liabilities arising from the purchase of goods and services for the Company's trading operations and debits for non-trading operations that are not derivative instruments.
Upon initial recognition in the balance sheet, they are recorded at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Accrued interest is recognized in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.
However, trade payables maturing in less than one year and which do not have a contractual interest rate, as well as disbursements required by third parties on participations, the amount of which is expected to be paid in the short term, are valued at their nominal value, when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant.
The difference between the fair value and the amount received from operating lease guarantees is considered an advance lease payment and is charged to the income statement during the period of the lease. In calculating the fair value of the guarantees, the remaining period is taken as the minimum contractual term committed.
Financial liabilities held for trading
They include financial liabilities issued with the intention of repurchasing them in the short term and derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedging instruments.
16


These financial liabilities are recognized and valued using the same criteria as financial assets held for trading.
Hedging derivatives
Include financial derivatives classified as hedging instruments. Financial instruments that have been designated as hedging instruments or hedged items are valued as established in Note 3.8.
Cancellation
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation has been extinguished.
When debt instruments are exchanged with a lender, provided they have substantially different terms, the original financial liability is derecognized and the new financial liability that arises is recognized. In the same way, a substantial modification of the current conditions of a financial liability is recorded.
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability, or of the part thereof that has been derecognized, and the consideration paid, including attributable transaction costs, and which also includes any asset transferred other than cash or liability assumed, is recognized in the income statement for the year in which it occurs.
When there is an exchange of debt instruments that do not have substantially different terms, the original financial liability is not derecognized from the balance sheet, recording the amount of fees paid as an adjustment to its carrying amount. The new amortized cost of the financial liability is determined by applying the effective interest rate, which is the rate that equals the carrying amount of the financial liability at the modification date with the cash flows payable under the new conditions.
For these purposes, the terms of the contracts are considered to be substantially different when the lender is the same that granted the initial loan and the present value of the cash flows of the new financial liability, including net fees, differs by at least 10% from the present value of the outstanding cash flows of the original financial liability, both discounted at the effective interest rate of the original liability.
3.8Hedging transactions
The Group carries out hedging transactions of the fair value of accounts receivable in foreign currency for cash flow hedging transactions of loans received at variable interest rates.
Hedging transactions are only designated as hedges if they effectively eliminate some risk inherent to the hedged item or position throughout the expected term of the hedge, which implies that from the time the hedge is contracted it is expected to act with a high degree of effectiveness (prospective effectiveness) and that there is sufficient evidence that the hedge has been effective during the life of the hedged item or position (retrospective effectiveness).
Hedging transactions are adequately documented, including how their effectiveness is expected to be achieved and measured, in accordance with the Company's risk management policy.
In order to measure the effectiveness of the hedges, the Company performs tests to verify that the differences produced by the variations in the value of the flows of the hedged item and its hedge remain within a variation range of 80% to 125% throughout the life of the transactions, thus complying with the forecasts established at the time of contracting the hedge.
When at any time this relationship is no longer met, hedging transactions are no longer treated as hedges and are reclassified to trading derivatives.
For valuation purposes, the Company classifies hedging transactions in the following categories:
17


Fair value hedges: They hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of accounts receivable due to changes in exchange rates. Changes in exchange differences, both in the value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, are recorded in the income statement.
Cash flow hedges: These hedge the exposure to the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates on loans received. In order to exchange variable rates for fixed rates, swaps are contracted. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been determined to be an effective hedge is recognized temporarily in equity and charged to the profit or loss account in the year or years in which the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
3.9Inventories
Inventories are valued at acquisition or production cost, using the following valuation methods:
Raw materials and other supplies: weighted average cost price.
The purchase price includes the amount stated in the invoice plus all additional costs incurred until the goods are in stock.
Finished product: valued at manufacturing cost.
The cost of production, in both cases, is determined by adding to the acquisition cost of raw materials and other consumables the costs directly attributable to the product and its share of the costs indirectly attributable to the products concerned, to the extent that such costs correspond to the manufacturing period.
Indirect taxes on inventories are only included in the acquisition price or production cost when they are not directly recoverable from the tax authorities.
Since the Company's inventories do not require a period of time of more than one year to be ready for sale, no financial expenses are included in the acquisition price or production cost.
Advances to suppliers on account of future supplies of inventories are valued at cost.
The valuation of obsolete, defective, or slow-moving products is reduced to their potential realizable value.
When the net realizable value of inventories is lower than their acquisition price or production cost, the appropriate valuation adjustments are made and recognized as an expense in the income statement.
If the circumstances that caused the adjustment to the value of inventories cease to exist, the amount of the adjustment is reversed and recognized as income in the income statement.
3.10Cash and cash equivalents
This heading includes cash on hand and bank checking accounts.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, occasional overdrafts that form part of the Group's cash management are included as an offset to cash and cash equivalents.
3.11Grants
Grants are classified as non-refundable when the conditions established for their award have been met, at which time they are recorded directly in equity, after deducting the related tax effect.
Refundable grants are recorded as liabilities of the Group until they become non-refundable, and no income is recorded until that time.
18


Grants received to finance specific expenses are charged to the income statement for the year in which the expenses they are financing are accrued and reversed from equity at that time. Grants received to acquire property, plant, and equipment are recognized as income for the year in proportion to their depreciation.
3.12Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a present obligation (either by a legal or contractual provision or by an implicit or tacit obligation), arising as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required for settlement and which is quantifiable.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation to a third party, and adjustments arising from the accretion of the provision are recorded as a financial expense as they accrue. In the case of provisions maturing in less than or equal to one year where the financial effect is not significant, no discounting is performed. Provisions are reviewed at the closing date of each balance sheet and are adjusted to reflect the best current estimate of the corresponding liability at each moment in time.
On the other hand, contingent liabilities are considered to be those possible obligations, arising from past events, whose materialization is conditional upon the occurrence of future events not wholly within the control of the Group and those present obligations, arising from past events, for which it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required for settlement or which cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. These liabilities are not recorded in the accounts and are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, except when the outflow of resources is remote.
3.13Income tax
The income tax expense for the year is calculated by adding the current tax, which results from applying the corresponding type of tax to the tax base for the year minus the existing bonuses and deductions, and the variations produced during said year in assets and deferred tax liabilities recorded. It is recognized in the income statement, except when it relates to transactions that are recorded directly in equity, in which case the related tax is also recorded in equity.
Deferred taxes are recorded for the temporary differences existing on the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their book values. The tax base of an asset or liability is considered to be the amount attributed to it for tax purposes.
The tax effect of temporary differences is included under the corresponding headings “Deferred tax assets” and “Deferred tax liabilities” in the balance sheet.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences, except, where appropriate, for the exceptions provided for in current regulations.
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and tax loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to the Group to allow the use of these assets, except, where applicable, for the exceptions provided for in current regulations.
On the closing date of each fiscal year, the Group assesses the recognized deferred tax assets and those that have not been previously recognized. Based on this assessment, the Group derecognizes a previously recognized asset if its recovery is no longer probable or recognizes any previously unrecognized deferred tax asset if it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to the Group to allow its application.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued at the expected tax rates at the time of their reversal, according to the current regulations approved, and in accordance with the way in which the deferred tax asset or liability is rationally expected to be recovered or paid.
19


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Since January 1, 2017, the Parent Company began to file consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary ITASA., the former being the head of the tax group.
3.14Classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current
Assets and liabilities are presented in the balance sheet classified between current and non-current. For these purposes, assets and liabilities are classified as current when they are linked to the Group's normal operating cycle and are expected to be sold, consumed, realized, or liquidated during that cycle; they are different from the above and their maturity, disposal or realization is expected to occur within a maximum period of one year; they are held for trading purposes or are cash and cash equivalents whose use is not restricted for a period exceeding one year.
3.15Income and expenses
In accordance with the accrual principle, income and expenses are recorded when they occur, regardless of the date of collection or payment.
Income from sales and provision of services
Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the Group will receive the benefits or economic returns from the transaction and the amount of revenue and costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. Revenues are valued at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, less discounts, price reductions and other similar items that the Company may grant, as well as, if applicable, interest included in the face value of the receivables. Indirect taxes levied on operations and passed on to third parties do not form part of income.
Cash, volume, or other discounts, as well as interest included in the nominal amount of trade receivables, are recorded as a reduction of the trade receivables. However, the Company includes the interest included in trade receivables maturing in less than one year that do not have a contractual interest rate, when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant.

The Group has consignment sales agreements with some of its customers, whereby inventories are sent to third-party warehouses located near the customer or to the customer's own facilities. Shipments are made based on orders signed with the customers. Ownership of these inventories is retained by the Group as long as they do not pass to the customer's production line, at that time the risks are transferred to the customer. Invoices are issued when customers report consumption, at which time sales revenue is recognized by the Group.
Discounts granted to customers are recognized when it is probable that the conditions for granting them will be met as a reduction of sales revenue.
Advances on account of future sales are stated at the value received.
3.16Transactions in foreign currency
The Group's functional and presentation currency is the euro.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at their initial valuation at the spot exchange rate in effect at the transaction date.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences, both positive and negative, arising in this process, as well as those arising on liquidation of these assets and liabilities, are recognized in the income statement for the year in which they arise.
20


Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are valued at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are valued at the exchange rate at the date the fair value is determined. Exchange differences are recorded directly in equity if the non-monetary item is valued against equity and in the income statement if it is valued against the profit or loss for the year.
3.17Environmental assets
The Directors confirm that the Company has no environmental liabilities, expenses, assets, provisions, and contingencies that could be significant in relation to its net worth, financial position, and results.
3.18Related party transactions
Transactions with related parties are accounted for in accordance with the valuation standards detailed above.
The prices of transactions with related parties are adequately supported, and therefore the Parent Company's Directors consider that there are no risks that could give rise to significant tax liabilities.
4.GOODWILL

4.1Goodwill from acquisition of ITASA
On December 20, 2016, the Parent Company acquired 100% of the shares of ITASA. The acquisition cost totaled €98,119,000, and after a process of allocation of assets and liabilities, goodwill on consolidation was €44,182,000.
21


As of December 31, 2020, the net book value, after recording amortization for each year, totals €26,510,000. The Group's management considers that there is no indication of impairment, since the acquired business has generated EBITDA in excess of €13 million in 2020.
4.2Goodwill from acquisition of business in Germany
On June 23, 2018, the Group acquired from a German company the business of paper and plastic bands with silicones, including the customer portfolio for a value of €5 million, which they recorded entirely as Goodwill.
In addition to the amount paid, a variable payment was established if the sales of the acquired business for twelve months prior to September 30, 2020 exceed €10.5 million. The variable payment ranged from €500,000 to €4 million (maximum amount). In fiscal 2019, a payment on account of €100,000 linked to such variable amount was recorded. However, given that in 2020 it was found that the requirements for the variable payment were not finally met, this advance payment was partially reimbursed (€75,000), leaving €25,000 pending collection. Despite not having met the variable payment targets, the acquired business is performing as expected at the time of the transaction, and therefore no indication of impairment has been identified.

The total customer portfolio corresponds to those arising as a result of the process of allocation of the purchase price of the acquisition of the ITASA subsidiary.

In the case of the acquisition of the business acquired in 2018 from a German company (Note 4.2) in which its customer portfolio was included, the entire amount was considered goodwill as there was no relevant backlog or contractual relationships with customers and it was understood that in this case the useful life of the customer portfolio would be 10 years anyway (therefore being amortized at the same rate as goodwill).
As of December 31, 2020, there are no fully amortized intangible assets, nor are there any firm commitments to purchase intangible assets.

6.1Description of the main movements
The main acquisitions in 2020 correspond mainly to investments in machinery and facilities for the new production plant in Mexico. The Group to which the Company belongs made the decision to create a new production plant in Mexico, which was materialized through the subsidiary Itasa Américas, S.A. de C.V.
6.2Other information
As of December 31, 2020, there are no fully depreciated property, plant, and equipment items, nor are there any firm commitments to purchase property, plant, and equipment.

b.That both before and after the distribution, a Net Financial Debt / consolidated EBITDA ratio of less than 2.00x is maintained.
c.That no cause for early termination exists or will exist as a result of the distribution.
d.That in no case does it constitute an interim dividend

According to current legal provisions, tax assessments cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or the statute of limitations period, currently set at four years, has elapsed. The subsidiaries have the last four fiscal years subject to inspection for all taxes applicable to them, while the Parent Company has had all taxes subject to inspection since November 8, 2016 (date of incorporation).
In the opinion of the Parent Company's Directors, there are no significant tax contingencies that could arise, in the event of inspection, from possible different interpretations of the tax regulations applicable to the transactions carried out by the Group.
The Parent Company and the subsidiary ITASA have formed a group for corporate income tax purposes since January 1, 2017.

(*) Group companies located in Spain are subject to corporate income tax in accordance with the Guipúzcoa Provincial Regulation 7/1996 of July 4, on Corporate Income Tax of the Historical Territory of Guipuzcoa. Provincial Regulation 1/2018 of May 10, 2018 of the Historical Territory of Guipuzcoa, which introduced amendments to various tax regulations, modified, among others, the general tax rate which stood until the 2017 fiscal year at 28%, becoming 26% in the 2018 fiscal year and 24% in the 2019 fiscal year and subsequent years.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group has unrecognized tax loss carryforwards pending offset in the amount of €744,000 corresponding to the Parent Company's income generated in 2016. In this regard,
35


since January 1, 2017, both the Parent Company and the subsidiary located in the Spanish territory, ITASA, have formed a tax consolidation group for corporate income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tax loss carryforwards generated in years prior to forming a tax group can only be offset in future years by the results generated by the company that generated such loss carryforward. For this reason and given the holding activity carried out by the Parent Company, the Group did not recognize the deferred tax asset generated for this loss carryforward in 2016.
The Group has not recognized the deferred tax assets generated by the subsidiary Itasa Asia Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia). During the year 2020, the deferred tax assets corresponding to Itasa Américas, S.A. de C.V. were recognized, once the good progress of the business of this subsidiary has been confirmed.

18.INFORMATION ON THE NATURE AND LEVEL OF RISK ARISING FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group's risk management policies are established and approved by the Group's Directors. Based on these policies, the Group's Finance Department has established a series of procedures and controls to identify, measure, and manage the risks arising from the activity with financial instruments.
The financial instruments business exposes the Group to credit, market, and liquidity risk.
18.1Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possible loss caused by the failure of the Group's counterparties to meet their contractual obligations, i.e., the possibility of not recovering the financial assets for the amount recorded and within the established term.
In general, the Group maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions with high credit ratings.
In addition, it should be noted that the company tries to avoid a significant concentration of credit risk with third parties.

40


18.2Market risk
Market risk arises from the possible loss caused by variations in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to changes in market prices. Market risk includes interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and other price risks.
Exchange rate risk
Exchange rate risk arises from the possible loss caused by changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to fluctuations in exchange rates.
The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk on currency transactions, mainly in dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. It is the Group's standard practice to hedge the market risk in its contracts denominated in currencies other than the euro. The purpose of these hedges is to try to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possible loss caused by changes in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument due to changes in market interest rates.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a balance in the debt structure that minimizes the aforementioned risks and minimizes the cost of debt.
At December 31, 2020, the Group's financial debt, and in particular the syndicated loan described in Note 14.1, is tied to a floating interest rate and the reference interest rate is basically Euribor.
18.3Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group may not have sufficient liquid funds, or access to them, at the appropriate cost, to meet its payment obligations at all times. The Group maintains a liquidity policy consisting of contracting committed credit facilities for an amount sufficient to support the expected needs for a period that depends on the situation of the debt and capital markets.

20.POST-CLOSING EVENTS
On March 2, 2021, the agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the Parent Company by Neenah, Inc. was publicly announced. The acquisition closed on April 6, 2021. All of the Company's debt was extinguished as part of this acquisition.
21.RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ("U.S. GAAP")
The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Spain (General accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 of November 16, 2017 and Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, 2016; "Spanish GAAP") which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP for private business entities.

Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board, was not yet effective for private companies as of December 31, 2020. The most significant impact of ASC 842 would be to require leases to be presented as Right-of-Use assets and Lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Estimated undiscounted future minimum lease payments associated with non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 2020 are disclosed in Note 6.3.
The following statements summarize the adjustments to Group's profit or (loss) and equity that would have to be made if the Group was to report in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Equity according to U.S. GAAP77,187
(a)Goodwill amortization reversal
Under Spanish GAAP, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 10 years. Goodwill is not permitted to be amortized under U.S. GAAP for public business entities or entities that have not elected the private company alternative to amortize goodwill, therefore the goodwill amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2020 has been reversed.
43


(b)Government grants reclassification
In accordance with Spanish GAAP, non-repayable government grants are recorded, net of tax, directly within net equity and allocated to the income statement, as other operating income in proportion with the depreciation charge for the assets acquired with the awarded grant. Under U.S. GAAP, classification under equity is not permitted, and the government grants would be recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the related assets.


Reconciliation of total assets to U.S. GAAP

Under U.S. GAAP, total assets would be higher by the goodwill amortization of €18,881 thousand and government grants reclassification of €48 thousand, as discussed under the equity reconciliation above, resulting in total assets of €123,446 thousand.


Reconciliation of Statement of Cash Flows to U.S. GAAP

There are no differences under U.S. GAAP in the Statement of Cash Flows as compared to Spanish GAAP Statement of Cash Flows.
