ANGOSTURA HOLDINGS LIMITED

SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Expressed in Trinidad and Tobago dollars)

The period January to March (Q1) is o�en influenced by the supplies that are provided and consumed in the Christmas period of the previous year. In Q1 2023, we experienced a delay in shipments to Australia, which impacted our revenue significantly. Recovery is an�cipated in Q2. Further, the investment we channelled into Carnival 2023 for the first �me since 2020 increased expenditure; however, this will con�nue to yield results over the rest of the financial year.

Revenue for Q1 was $197.4 million, which was $2.0 million or a 1% year-on-year decline. Foreign sales in North America, La�n America and the Caribbean surpassed the prior year's first quarter. All in all, we experienced a decrease from $43.1 million to $32.1 million (Profit Before Tax) or a 25% or $11.0 million year-on-year decline. This was driven not only by decreased sales in two (2) interna�onal markets, but also by our strong investment in strategic markets, which increased our opera�ng expenses by 22% or $13.8 million. The decline in revenue and increased opera�ng expenses were offset by an improved internal process performance as evident in an increase in Gross Profit margin of 53% compared to 51% in the prior compara�ve period. We expect to be�er these results by the second quarter as we focus on regaining ground in the coming months.

Angostura con�nues to demonstrate resilience and growth poten�al despite the challenges of foreign markets. Timing of expenses early in Q1 2023 that pertain to future revenues will allow for improvement over the financial year. We remain commi�ed to inves�ng in our strategic markets, building stronger brands for the future, and delivering value to our shareholders.
