AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1.  General information on AmRest Group
AmRest Holdings SE (“The Company”, “AmRest”) was incorporated in the Netherlands in October 2000. Since 2008 the
Company operates a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE). The company is domiciled in Spain.
Paseo de la Castellana 163, 28046 (Madrid), Spain is the Company’s registered office as of 31 December 2022 and has
not changed during the year 2022.
Hereinafter the Company and its subsidiaries shall be referred to as the “Group” and “AmRest Group”.
In 2005 the shares of AmRest Holdings SE were quoted for the first time on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (“WSE”) and in
2018 were quoted on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges, through the Spanish Automated
Quotation System (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil - SIBE). Since 21 November 2018 AmRest’s shares have been
quoted simultaneously on both the above stock exchanges (dual listing).
Grupo Finaccess S.A.P.I. de C.V. is the ultimate parent of the Group.
The Group is the largest independent chain restaurant operator in Central and Eastern Europe. The Group is also
conducting its operations in Western Europe, Russia and China. The Group’s principal place of business is Europe.
The Group operates Kentucky Fried Chicken (“KFC”), Pizza Hut (“PH”), Burger King (“BK”) and Starbucks (“SBX”)
restaurants through its subsidiaries in Poland, the Czech Republic (hereinafter Czechia), Hungary, Slovakia, Russia,
Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia and Spain, on the basis of franchise rights
granted. Starting from 1 October 2016 the Group as a master-franchisee has the right to grant a license to third parties to
operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (sub-franchise) in countries of Central and Eastern
Europe, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by AmRest. Pizza Hut restaurants acquired in
France in May 2017 are operated both by AmRest and its sub-franchisees based on master-franchise agreements
("MFA"). As previously announced, due to termination of Pizza Hut Master Franchise Agreements in Russia and
Germany, the Pizza Hut restaurants on these markets were transferred in Q2 2022 and Q4 2022, respectively, to two
different counterparties designated by Yum! In December 2022 AmRest entered  into a share purchase agreement with
Almira OOO, for the sale of its KFC restaurant business in Russia. The closing of the Transaction is subject to the
approval by competition authority in Russia, the consent by Yum! Brands Inc.- brand owner and to other regulatory
authorizations that may be applicable in Russia.
In Spain and Portugal the Group operates its own brand La Tagliatella. This business is based on operating equity and
franchise restaurants and is supported by the central kitchen located in Spain which produces and delivers products to
the whole network. In China the Group operates its own brand called Blue Frog.
In 2018 the Group acquired the Bacoa and Sushi Shop brands, as a result of which it operates proprietary and franchise
restaurants in Spain (Bacoa) and proprietary and franchise Sushi Shop restaurants in France, Belgium, Spain, 
Switzerland, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Italy, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Bacoa is a primarily premium
burger concept in Spain and Sushi Shop is the operator of the leading European chain of Japanese cuisine restaurants.
Additionally, among own brands the Group operates virtual brands.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
The Group operates its restaurants mainly on a franchise basis. However being master-franchisee and performing business through own brands has become more important. The
table below shows the terms and conditions of cooperation with franchisors and franchisees of particular brands operated by AmRest as of 31 December 2022

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
3.  Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”) and other provisions of the financial reporting applicable in Spain.
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 27 February
2023.
Unless disclosed otherwise, the amounts in these consolidated financial statements are presented in euro (EUR),
rounded off to full millions with one decimal place.
Details of the Group’s accounting policies are included in note 38.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2021, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards effective as of 1 January
2022, as described below and in the note 39. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but
do not have any material impact on the Group’s policies. The Group has not early adopted any other standard,
interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The Group has prepared these consolidated financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going
concern.i
War in Ukraine update and Russian operations
The war in Ukraine in late February 2022 has led to increased market volatility and higher economic uncertainty, as
reflected in the widespread deterioration of the consumer confidence indicators, which has impacted on financial and
commodity markets. The escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine resulted in a number of commercial and
economic sanctions to Russia.
European Central Bank (whose exchange rates the Group is using for conversion of foreign operations to Euro) has
suspended its publication of a euro reference rate for the Russian rouble from 1 March 2022. As such the Group has
started using euro-rouble exchange rate as published by National Bank of Russia for preparation of condensed
consolidated interim reports. During year 2022 rouble/ EUR exchange rate characterized with significant volatility. At year
end exchange rate  was 11% higher then at the beginning of the year (as of 31 December 2021 1 EUR = 85.47 RUB,
whereas as of 31 December 2022 1 EUR = 75.76 RUB).
The Group is closely monitoring potential impact of war and sanctions imposed to Russia on Group’s current and future
operations. The Group stopped investments in that country and in May 2022 transferred its Pizza Hut operations in
Russia to a local operator. This transaction did not have material impact on Group's income statement and balance sheet.
During the year 2022, the Group has performed the impairment tests for its remaining Russian business and accounted
for EUR 52.9 million impairment loss as a result.
AmRest Group has entered on 6 December 2022 into a share purchase agreement with Almira OOO, for the sale of its
KFC restaurant business in Russia (the "Transaction"). The closing of the Transaction is subject to the approval by
competition authority in Russia, the consent by Yum! Brands Inc.- brand owner and to other regulatory authorizations that
may be applicable in Russia. The final terms of the Transaction are subject to certain external factors, including EUR/RUB
exchange rate.
The transaction would represent full disposal of AmRest business held in Russia. Russian market is a separate operating
segment reported in consolidated financial statements.
Detailed analysis of IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” (“IFRS 5”) conditions was run
to assess if the conditions are met for Russian business to disclose as disposal group and discontinued operations as of
31 December 2022.
Such analysis requires high judgements and estimates. For an asset (or disposal group) to be classified as held for sale:
it must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for
sales of such assets (or disposal groups);
its sale must be highly probable; and
it must genuinely be sold, not abandoned.
Detailed analysis of all elements of the definition was performed, taking into account details of the Transaction as agreed
in the agreements, conditions that need to be satisfied prior finalization, current market situation including volatility of the
EUR/RUB exchange rates, legislative and regulatory environment in Russia.
In relation to the regulatory conditions, as of the date of these financial statements and in accordance with the published
minutes of the meeting of the sub-commission of the governmental Commission for Control over Foreign Investments in
the Russian Federation of December 12, 2022 (Nº 116/1), a minimum 50% discount to fair value based on the external
valuation is expected to be applied for transactions subject to the Foreign Investment Condition followed by additional
10% tax (referred as exit tax) or deferred payments scheme (payment of the purchase price has to be made in
instalments during 1-2 years). Key performance indicators (KPI such as maintaining the number of employees, tax
revenues) for the acquirer with respect to the business to be purchased shall be also established.
When making decisions on the payment of dividends/profits, the following conditions must be taken into account: the
amount of paid profit is not more than 50% of the net profit for the previous year; results of a retrospective analysis of the
payment of profits for previous periods; willingness of shareholders to continue commercial activities in the Russian
Federation; the positions of the federal executive authorities and the Bank of Russia on the significance of the
organization's activities and the impact of its activities on the technological and industrial sovereignty of the Russian
Federation, the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation or the constituent entities of the Russian
Federation; establishment by federal executive authorities of quarterly KPIs for organizations; the possibility of paying
profit on a quarterly basis (subject to the achievement of established KPIs).
As disclosed in the Inside Information published on 6 December 2022, AmRest expects to receive a minimum of EUR 100
million for the Transaction. The final terms of the Transaction, which are subject to certain external factors, including
exchange rate, will be communicated if the Transaction is closed.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Without prejudice to the information disclosed in note 37, AmRest’s management believes that in accordance with the
IFRS 5 conditions, the sale of Russian business cannot be considered as highly probable and, therefore, will not be
classified as assets/liabilities held for sale and operation of Russian business for year 2022 as discounted operations.
The following key aspects have been taken into consideration for reaching that conclusion: (i) unstable legal and
geopolitical situation in Russia, (ii) possibility of Russian government imposing additional conditions to those already in
place and described above, (iii) possibility of the Russian antitrust authorities not clearing the transaction, (iv) potential
restrictions that might be imposed by the EU authorities and/or other national governments in relation to any operation
related to Russia, and (v) current EUR-RUB exchange rate that does not guarantee the expected minimum sale price.
These aspects could also affect the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to which the transaction is subject.
As of 31 December 2022 the net assets of Russian operations presented in these consolidated financial statements
amount to EUR 64.7 million. Note 5 presents information for Russian segment.
The table below shows total split of net assets of Russian operations of the Group as of 31 December 2022. The
comparative figures for 31 December 2021 presented in second column reflect data reported in consolidated financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, i.e., using forex exchange EUR/RUB as of 31 December 2021. For
illustrative purposes Group presents also, in the third column, the estimate of 31 December 2021 data in EUR if
31 December 2022 forex exchange rate was used at that time.

4.  Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal
the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group’s accounting policies.
Estimates and judgments are continually verified, and are based on professional experience and various factors,
including expectations of future events, that are deemed to be justified in given circumstances. Revisions to estimates are
recognised prospectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Climate change: risk analysis and financial impacts
All companies face risks and opportunities derived from the climate and are having to make strategic decisions in this
area.
The impacts of climate risks on financial statements are broad and potentially complex, and will depend on the specific
risks of the sector. When the future is analysed, probability scenarios are presented where not only the physical
consequences of climate change are assessed, but also the changes in environmental regulations to face it.
Both physical risks and transitional risks pose a number of threats and opportunities to overall financial stability,
potentially influencing financial markets in the future.
Climate risk has been incorporated into the estimates and judgments in relation to the future used for accounting
purposes, although they do not present significant differences with those used in previous years.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which
are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong.
Judgements
Determination of the lease term, whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise extension or termination options
For majority of contracts the Group holds options for extension/termination of the lease period, on a specified conditions.
The Group’s practice is to assess the reasonableness of exercising options one year before the decision deadline,
because in that time all relevant facts and circumstances to make such a decision can be generally available. The Group
considers, for example, latest performance of the restaurant, present brand strategy revised during budgeting process,
comparison of lease fees to the market average, length of the non-cancellable period of a lease and significance of
leasehold improvements recently undertaken (or expected to be undertaken).
The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which
significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognised.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on available parameters when the
consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such
changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Inflation and rising interest rates
Rising inflation and interest rates may cause significant estimation uncertainty for both short and long duration assets and
liabilities. They affect amongst others fair value measurements, expected future cash flows estimates, discount rates
used to determine present value of cash flows, and impairment tests.
Impairment of non-financial assets including goodwill
Impairment losses are recognised whenever the carrying value of an asset or group of assets that are part of one cash
generating unit or a group of cash generating units exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value
less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use and fair value less costs of disposal calculations are based
on a discounted cash flow (DCF) models. The cash flows are derived from the budgets and forecasts. The recoverable
amount is sensitive to the discount rates used for the DCF model as well as the expected future growth margins, and the

growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. Accounting policies for impairment testing of non-financial assets are
disclosed in note 38. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the different CGUs, including a
sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in note 17.
Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation
model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimation also requires determination of the most
appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and
making assumptions about them.
For the measurement of the fair value of equity-settled transactions with employees at the grant date, the Group uses a
finite difference method. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment
transactions are disclosed in note 29.
Recognition of provisions for potential tax obligations and uncertain tax provisions
Recognition of provision required estimates of the probable outflows of resources embodying economic benefits and
defining the best estimates of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
The Group operates in various tax jurisdictions. Regulations concerning VAT, corporate income tax and social insurance
charges are frequently amended. The applicable regulations may also contain ambiguous issues, which lead to
differences in opinions concerning the legal interpretation of tax legislation both among the tax authorities and between
such authorities and enterprises.
Tax reports and other matters (e.g. customs or foreign currency transactions) may be audited by authorities competent to
impose substantial penalties and fines, whereas any additional tax liabilities assessed during such audits have to be paid
together with interest.
Consequently, the figures presented and disclosed in these consolidated financial statements may change in the future if
a final decision is issued by tax inspection authorities.
Details of current tax inspections open in Group entities are presented in note 31.
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the
probability that in the future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be
utilised. Details of deferred tax assets are disclosed in note 12.
Expected changes to income tax legislation
On 8 October 2021 agreement was reached between 136 countries for a two-pillar approach to international tax reform
(‘the OECD agreement’). Amongst other things, Pillar One proposes a reallocation of a proportion of tax to market
jurisdictions, while Pillar Two seeks to apply a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%. The OECD Agreement is likely to
see changes in corporate tax rates in a number of countries in the next few years. On 15 December 2022, European
Union Member States unanimously adopted the Minimum Tax Directive. The Directive has to be transposed into national
legislations until 31 December 2023. The impact of changes in corporate tax rates on the measurement of tax assets and
liabilities depends on the nature and timing of the legislative changes in each country. At its meeting in November 2022,
the IASB decided on standard-setting in response to the imminent implementation of the Pillar Two model rules. It is likely
that IAS 12, ‘Income taxes’, will be amended in 2023 to introduce a temporary exception from accounting for deferred
taxes arising from application of the OECD’s Pillar Two model rules.
At the December 2022 reporting period, the Pillar 2 requirements have not been substantively enacted in any of the
territories in which the Group operates, consequently there is no significant impact on current or deferred taxes.
5.  Segment reporting
AmRest as a group of dynamic developing entities running operations in many markets and various restaurant business
segments is under constant analysis of the Board of Directors. The Board is also constantly reviewing the way business
is analysed and adjusts it accordingly to changes in the Group’s structure as a consequence of strategic decisions.
Group produces various reports, in which its business activities are presented in a variety of ways. Operating segments
are set on the basis of management reports used by the Board when making strategic decisions. The Board of Directors
analyses the Group’s performance by geographical breakdown in divisions described in the table below.
Own restaurant and franchise business is analysed for four operating segments presenting Group’s performance in
geographic breakdown. Geographical areas are identified based on the similarity of products and services, similar
characteristics of the production process and of the customer base and economic similarities (i.e. exposure to the same
market risks). Fifth segment includes in general non-restaurant business. Details of the operations presented in each
segment are presented below:

The segment information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies applied in these consolidated
financial statements.
Taking into account that the Group operates chains of own restaurants and additionally operates as franchisor (for own
brands) and master-franchisee (for some franchised brands), the Group does not have any single external customer with
the revenue on the level of 10% or more of total revenue earned by the Group.
6.  Revenues
The Group operates chains of own restaurants under own brands as well as under franchise license agreements.
Additionally, the Group operates as franchisor (for own brands) and master-franchisee (for some franchised brand) and
develops chains of franchisee businesses, organizing marketing activities for the brands and supply chain. Consequently,
the Group analyses two streams of revenue:
- Restaurant sales,
- Franchise and other sales.
This is reflected in the format of Group’s consolidated income statement. Details of revenues streams are also presented
in note 38d. Additional disaggregation by geographical market is included in the note 5.
Restaurant sales
Restaurant revenues are the most significant source of revenues representing over 94% of total revenues.
Group's customers are mainly individual guests, that are served in the restaurants, therefore the Groups’ customer base
is widely spread. There are no significant concentrations of revenues risks. Payments for the restaurant sales are settled
generally immediately in cash or by credit, debit and other cards. There are no material credit risks related to this type of
operations.
7.  Operating costs and losses
AmRest Group presents consolidated income statement using a classification based on function of expense method.
Historically consolidated income statement was prepared by function – since AmRest was quoted on the Warsaw Stock
Exchange in 2005, which is a common practice on Polish market. Group considers that analysis of restaurant expenses,
franchise and other expenses and information regarding result in the functional area provides more relevant information.

against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority. The current financial
situation and strategic plans allow to consider the level of recognised assets and deferred tax assets to be reasonable.

The Group operates in various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes and deferred income taxes are measured using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in particular countries. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The Group analyses recoverability of deferred taxes on tax losses based on the guidance in IAS 12. Group subsidiaries
analyses the periods in which tax losses can be utilised, whether there are sufficient taxable temporary differences
related to the same tax authority and tax jurisdiction, and if the entity will create taxable profits in the periods in which
unused tax losses can be utilised.
The Group analyses business plans and cash flows forecasts of subsidiaries in terms of recoverability of deferred tax
assets recognised. In particular, the Group performs goodwill impairment tests for whole businesses and balances of tax
losses for which deferred taxes were recognized are verified against projected tax cash outflows. In case unit has
projected negative results, deferred tax assets are reassessed in terms of recoverability.
In 2022 the Group reviewed the tax returns for prior periods prepared by the subsidiaries and it resulted in the updated
value of tax losses, for which no deferred tax has been recognized compared to the amounts presented in previous
financial statements. The total tax effect for the period ended 31 December 2022 of tax loss for the current period for
which no deferred tax asset was recognised amounted EUR 4.3 million and tax effect of EUR 0.8 million relates to
deferred taxes on tax losses recognized in prior years and derecognized in current year.
A tax authority may control the tax returns (if they have not already been controlled) of the Group companies from 3 to 5
years as of the date of their filing.

Increasing the average useful lives of property, plant and equipment by 10% would lead to a decrease in depreciation for
the year ended 31 December 2022 by around EUR 9.5 million. Increasing the average useful lives of property, plant and
equipment by 10% would lead to a decrease in depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2021 by around EUR
9.4 million.
14.  Leases
The Group leases over 1.9 thousand properties in order to operate brand restaurants. Lease terms are negotiated on an
individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions, depending on local lease practice and legal
framework. Additionally, in some countries, the Group leases cars, equipment, as well as properties for administration or
storage purposes and company flats.

The Group recognised in 2022 rent expense from short-term leases of EUR 0.8 million, leases of low-value assets of
EUR 5.8 million and variable lease payments of EUR 24.6 million (including negative amount of EUR 2.0 million
COVID-19-related rent concessions) for the year ended 31 December 2022. Impairment test procedures, assumptions
used and tests’ results are disclosed in note 17.

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Amounts recognised in statement of cash flows amounted to EUR 163.6 million presented in financing activity as
repayment of lease liability and EUR 31.2 million in operating activity as lease payments not included in the lease liability.
Total cash outflow for leases amounted to EUR 194.8 million in the year ended 31 December 2022.
In the comparable period, in 2021, the Group recognised rent expense from short-term leases of EUR 0.7 million, leases
of low-value assets of EUR 5 million and variable lease payments of EUR 10.1 million (including negative amount of EUR
10.9 million COVID-19-related rent concessions) for the year ended 31 December 2021. Impairment test procedures,
assumptions used and tests’ results are disclosed in note 17.
In the comparable period, in 2021, amounts recognised in statement of cash flows amounted to EUR 141.7 million
presented as repayment of lease liability and EUR 15.8 million as lease payments not included in the lease liability. Total
cash outflow for leases amounted to EUR 157.5 million in the year ended 31 December 2021.
Additional information about lease payments and lease term
The Group’s lease payments are often charged as a higher of fixed payment and turnover based payment. The Group
recognized the excess of turnover based rent as variable lease payments. Therefore the stores’ revenue impacts on the
future variable lease payments. In the year ended 31 December 2022, the share of variable payments (excluding rent
concessions) amounted to 16% of fixed lease payments (2021: 15%).
The intention of the Group is to secure long-term property lease contracts, with flexibility that enables adjustments of
strategy and reaction on changing market conditions. Vast majority part of the Group’s leases provides some extent of
flexibility, for example, the Group can adjust its exposure by exercising termination options, sublease options, extension
options or using pre-emption rights to go into a renewal agreement. Such rights are subject of individual negotiations with
lessors and do not deviate from standard market conditions.
The Group does annual revision of expiring lease contracts. The Group performs case-by-case analysis of the contracts,
adjusted to the latest store performance, up-to-date Group’s strategy and market conditions. During this process, among
others, the Group decides whether to exercise, or not, the extension and termination options falling for the following year.
The decisions have impact on the assessment of the leases end date used in the measurement of lease liability.
COVID-19-related rent concessions
The Group has been negotiating rent concessions with its landlords for the majority of its store leases as a result of the
severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during the year. The Group applied the practical expedient for COVID-19-
related rent concessions consistently to eligible rent concessions relating to its store leases. The Group continued to
account for rent concessions relating to its other leases under other applicable guidance in IFRS 16 until the expiry of the
aforementioned practical expedient i.e. until 30 June 2022.
The amount recognised in profit or loss for the reporting period to reflect changes in lease payments arising from rent
concessions to which the Group has applied the practical expedient for COVID-19-related rent concessions is EUR 2.0
million (2021: 10.9 million).

Impairment test procedures, assumptions used and tests’ results are disclosed in note 17.
The Group believes that brands do not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of other groups of assets. For
some Group brands, cash inflows from the franchisee business are partially independent of other cash inflows, however,
these do not represent the value of the whole brand. Brands are used to support restaurant business development and
revenues from sales of products under certain brands are not capable of being split between revenue for the brand and
revenue for costs of production. Consequently, brands are not a cash-generating unit and are not tested on a standalone
basis. Such assets are tested together with their relevant goodwill values. The results of the test are presented in note 17.
The table below presents details of Proprietary brands as of 31 December 2022. Table shows level at which the brands

Restaurant level tests
The Group periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated for the purpose of
impairment testing. The recoverable amount of an asset is determined at the level of a single restaurant as the smallest
unit (or set of assets) generating cash flows that are largely independent of the cash inflows generated by other assets /
groups of assets. Restaurant assets include amongst others property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right of
use assets. Impairment indicators defined by the Group are described in note 38.
Impairment indicators are reviewed twice a year and respective impairments test for restaurants are performed twice a
year.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value in use calculation for the
remaining useful life determined by lease expiry date or restaurant closure date (if confirmed), using the discount rate for
each individual country.
For recoverable value calculations of value in use, Group uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets that
require relevant judgments and estimates. Cash flow projections are prepared for individual restaurants. The Group uses
most recently approved budgets and forecasts prepared on the level of countries or activities of brands in certain
countries. Next those assumptions are verified in terms of situation of individual restaurants. Base assumptions may be
enhanced or worsen, to reflect the best estimate for expected cash projections of analysed restaurant, if needed.
Individual projections for sales and costs may depend on restaurant’s main streams of revenues and its recovery path
from pandemic (different for take-away business, dine-in, food courts), cost pressure in various markets, supply chain
related issues and other.
The restaurant tests are also prepared with diversified projection periods that are correlated to restaurant’s rental
agreements.
The main assumptions used to determine the value in use were:
-sales growth projections dependent on sales mix and sales channels for a given restaurant
-impact of changes in revenue on direct costs
-costs structure development
-the amount of investment expenditure
-a discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital and reflecting the current market assessment of
the time value of money and the business risk of the cash generating unit.
As such, Group does not disclose quantitative ranges for the main assumptions used for restaurant test. The amounts
assigned to each of these parameters reflect the Group's experience adjusted for expected changes in the forecast
period and corrected by local specifics and characteristics of a given restaurant. This reflects the specifics of Group’s
operations, where business is conducted through multiple, individually small operating units.
In the event that the fair value less costs of sale is used as a reference, market references are used that take into
account, among others, location and updated market information.
Carrying amount of each CGU consists of carrying amount of above described assets of the restaurants. Value in use is
determined through the discounted cash flows analysis, without the base rental charge.
As presented below it can be observed that discount rates used for the impairment test have increased comparing to year
end 2021 tests. This is the effect of turbulences on the global market due to pandemic and increases in markets risk
premiums and/or risk-free rates. Discounts rates applied are shown in the table below.

Details of impairments losses recognised per category of assets (property, plant and equipment, right of use assets,
intangible assets or goodwill) are presented in notes 13, 14, 15 and 16.
Recognized impairment losses do not relate to any individual significant items, but to numerous restaurants tested during
the year. This reflects the specifics of Group’s operations, where business is conducted through multiple, individually
small operating units.

Business (goodwill) level tests
Goodwill and intangibles with undefined useful lives level
The Group performs impairment test for goodwill together with any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, other
intangibles, property plant and equipment, right of use assets, as well any other non-current assets that operate on the
group of CGUs where goodwill is allocated.
For recoverable value calculations, the Group uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets that require
judgment and other estimates that include, among others, the operating result on sales and the discount and growth rates
at long term.
Mandatory impairment tests are performed at year ends.
Present value technique model (the income approach) is used by Group for the purpose of determining fair value. The
income approach converts future amounts (e.g. cash flows or income and expenses) to a single discounted amount. The
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
fair value reflects current market expectations about those future amounts. The income approach uses unobservable
inputs, as a result, the fair value measurement is generally classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The cash flows were derived from the most recent budgets, plans for next year and forecasts for the following four years.
The 5th year normalized projections are used to extrapolate cash flows into the future if the 5th year represents a steady
state in the development of the business. The adjustments may be necessary to reflect the expected development of the
business (normalization of cash flows). Growth rates do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products,
industries, or country or market in which the asset is used.
The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used, growth rate used for extrapolation purposes and the
weighted average budgeted EBITDA margin. The weighted average budgeted EBITDA margin is calculated as an
average for the 5 years projection period i.e. without any impact of the residual value element. Budgeted revenues are
used as weights. Average restaurants sales growth refers to same-store-sales growth rates reflected in impairment
models.

Test results for YE 2022
No impairment losses were recognized based on the year end tests.
During interim impairment test the Group has recognized EUR 52.9 million impairment on Russian business. For the
results of interim impairment test refer to section below.
The Group carried out a sensitivity analysis for the impairment tests performed. The sensitivity analysis examined the
impact of changes in below factors assuming other factors remain unchanged:
discount rate applied,
weighted average budgeted EBITDA margin,
growth rate for residual value,
sales revenues increases.
The objective of such a sensitivity analysis is to determine if reasonable possible changes in the main financial
assumptions would lead to an impairment loss being recognized.
For discount rate, growth rate, weighted average budgeted EBITDA margin, a reasonable possible change was
determined as 10% of the input data, applicable for particular unit. Consequently, each impairment test has a different
level of a reasonable change in inputs, which can be determined by multiplying the base input data used in the
impairment test as presented in table above by 10%.
Additionally Group performed sensitivity analysis on the expected changes in sales revenues recognition. In that case
Group determines reasonable change individually for each business tested. Usually this is in a range of 1-5% decrease of
estimated sales revenues in each year of projection.
Results of the sensitivity analysis
Based on the sensitivity analysis performed a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used would not
lead to recognition of impairment losses i.e. carrying amount would not exceed the recoverable amount.
Test results reported in HY 2022
For 6 months period ended 30 June 2022 Group has identified impairment indicators and performed impairment tests for
following businesses: China market, KFC France, Sushi Shop (all markets) and KFC Russia. Impairment losses were
recognised for KFC Russia. In all remaining tests the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the tested
group of CGUs.
Goodwill impairment test for KFC Russia
The war in Ukraine has introduced uncertainty in the conduct of businesses and, as a result, a significant risk of material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities may have arisen. Determining the recoverable amount in the
current uncertain environment requires a careful assessment of the cash-flow projections.
The impairment test performed for KFC Russia business resulted in recognition of impairment losses in total value of
EUR 52.9 million (RUB 3 179.8 million retranslated by average forex RUB/EUR exchange rate from June 2022).
Impairment loss included impairment for goodwill EUR 46.9 million, impairment of property, plant, and equipment of EUR
2.5 million and impairment of right of use of assets in amount of EUR 3.5 million.
Test were performed in local currency, and the recoverable value of tested unit amounted RUB 8 713.1 million whereas
the carrying amount of tested non-current assets including goodwill amounted RUB 11 892.9 million. That resulted in
impairment loss of RUB 3 179.8 million, representing 42% of net assets of Russian business.
The Group has performed impairment test taking into account most recent budgets, forecast and expectations towards
operating business in Russia. Cash flow projections reflect current central scenario of continuing business operations in
Russia and there is no new restaurant development in the country.

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
The war has impacted the interest rates and inflation trends. Consequently, the discount rate and growth rate for residual
period used to determine the recoverable amount were updated to reflect these developments.
The most relevant factor for updating Russia business discount rate, in the current situation, was the country risk
premium input. In the past the Group was using Moody’s country ratings, however, on 15 March 2022 the European
Union banned top credit rating firms from rating Russia and the Russian companies as part of its sanctions package.
Additionally, on 27 June 2022 a technical default of Russia was declared after missing a bond payment in foreign
currency as Russian central bank’s reserves were frozen and the local banks did not have access to the global financial
system. Nonetheless, holders of Russian government Eurobonds were offered a special account to receive the payment
in roubles in accordance with Russian central bank’s exchange rate. The complexity of this scenario increases with the
strong appreciation showed by the rouble. This movement is contradictory to what would be implied by a sovereign
default due to a lack of resources.
This technical default merits a substantial increase in the country risk premium of Russia. Even though, the country's
ability to repay in an appreciating local currency remains in place, the Group considers it reasonable to make the
assumption that the country's equivalent credit rating would be in the default threshold “C” (no ability to pay in USD). This
scenario implies a country risk premium of 20.34% and a discount rate of 32.62% for Russia market.
Following key assumption were used when performing impairment test:

The Group carried out a sensitivity analysis. For discount rate, growth rate, weighted average budgeted EBITDA margin,
a reasonable possible change was determined as 10% of the input data, applicable for particular unit. Consequently,
each impairment test has a different level of a reasonable change in inputs, which can be determined by multiplying the
base input data used in the impairment test as presented in table above by 10%.
Additionally, Group performed sensitivity analysis on the expected changes in sales revenues recognition. In that case
Group determines reasonable change individually for each business tested. Usually this is in a range of 3-5% decrease of
estimated sales revenues in each year of projection.
The following table presents what change in impairment loss would be accounted if respective input data were changed

Hedges valuation
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk associated with the investment in its foreign subsidiaries, which is
managed by applying net hedge investment strategies.
In 2018 AmRest Holdings assigned its PLN 280 million external borrowing as a hedging instrument in a net hedge for its
Polish subsidiaries. Following scheduled debt repayments, the net investment hedge has been decreased. As of 
31 December 2022 , the value of net investment hedge amounts to PLN 196 million (PLN 224 million as of  31 December
2021).
AmRest Sp. z o.o., a Polish subsidiary, with PLN as functional currency, is a borrower of external EUR financing. The
bank loan has been hedging the net investment in its EUR subsidiaries until 31 December 2021 and throughout the
period ending 31 December 2022. Following scheduled repayments and an increase during 2022 in the financing of EUR
23 million regarding to the Tranche G of the syndicated bank loan, the net investment hedge as of 31 December 2022 is
EUR 177 million (176 million as of end of 2021).
Following a change in presentation currency of the Group from PLN to EUR, AmRest Sp. z o.o. remains exposed to the
foreign currency risk between the functional currency of its net investment in its EUR investments and its own functional
currency (PLN). These different functional currencies create a genuine economic exposure to changes in fair values in
the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
For all net investment hedges, exchange gains or losses arising from the translation of liabilities that are hedging net
investments are charged to equity in order to offset gains or losses on translation of the net investment in subsidiaries.
During the year ended 31 December 2022 and 2021 hedges were fully effective.

26.  Earnings per share
As of 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Company has 219 554 183 shares issued.
Table below presents calculation of basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share for the year 2022 and 2021.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (including treasury shares, vested options under share based programs,
number of shares to be transferred as a consideration for acquisition).
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted by the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would
be issued on conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares (unvested options for open share
based payments programs).

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
29.  Employee benefits and share based payments
The Group established long-term incentive plans in order to bind a portion of managers’ and executives’ remuneration
with the Group’s market value. During year 2022, the Group had the share-based payment arrangements according to six
share option plans. Part of options in the Plan 2 is accounted as cash-settled due to the availability of cash exercise
method upon the choice of an employee. All other options in the following plans are equity-settled.
Plan 2 – Stock Option Plan 2005
Plan 2 was implemented in April 2005. Granting of the options finished in 2016.
Up to November 2014 the exercise method was in equity instruments. In November 2014, the then existing Supervisory
Board of the Company approved a change of regulations by adding net cash settlement of option value (employee
decides about settlement method). Due to the above changes, Plan 2 comprised both equity-settled options and cash-
settled options. In 2015 a change in regulations eliminated a possibility of option settlement with cash method for the
grants after 8 December  2015. Furthermore, a group of employees made a unilateral statement about resignation from
the cash settlement possibility in relation to option also granted in previous periods.
Plan 4 – Stock Option Plan 2017
In January 2017 the Group introduced a new share-based Stock Option Plan. The number of options granted, employees
awarded and granting dates were initially determined by the then existing Management Board (current Executive Team),
however the number of options was limited to 750 000 options. The Granting Period was set between 1 January 2017
and 31 December 2019. The option exercise price will be in principle equal to the market price of the Company’s shares
as of the date of granting the option, and the vesting period will be 3 to 5 years. There are no cash settlement
alternatives.
Plan 5 – Management Incentive Plan 2017
In January 2017 the Group introduced a new share-based Management Incentive Plan, offered to selected employees.
The whole number of shares which were attributed to the options was determined by the Board of Directors, however, it
may not exceed 1,000,000 shares. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, when requested by management the
Board of Directors, was entitled to determine the employees authorized to participate in the Plan, the number of options
granted and the dates for their granting among other issues. The Granting Period was set between 1 January 2017 and
31 December 2019. The option initial exercise price was in principle equal to the market price of the Company’s shares
as of the date of First Grant. The exercise price shall increase on 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary by 11%. The vesting
period lasts 3 to 5 years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.
Plan 6 – Stock Option Plan 2020
In 2020 the Group introduced a share-based Stock Option Plan, which is an extension of the regulations introduced in the
Stock Option Plan 2017. The plan is effective for an additional period of one year exclusively during the 2020 financial
year under their exact same terms and conditions with the sole exception of the Exercise Price mentioned in the table
below. The number of options granted, employees awarded and granting dates were initially determined by the Executive
Team. In 2020 the number of options was limited to 3.6 million options. The option exercise price will be in principle equal
to the market price of the Company’s shares as of the date of granting the option, and the vesting period will be 3 to 5
years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.
Plan 7 – Management Incentive Plan 2020
In 2020 the Group introduced a share-based Management Incentive Plan, offered to selected employees, which is an
extension of the regulations introduced in the Management Incentive Plan 2017. The plan is effective for an additional
period of one year exclusively during the 2020 financial year under their exact same terms and conditions with the sole
exception of the Exercise Price mentioned in the table below. The whole number of shares which were attributed to the
options was determined by the Board of Directors. In 2020 the number of options was limited to 4.65 million options. In
accordance with the provisions of the Plan, when requested by management the Board of Directors, was entitled to
determine the employees authorized to participate in the Plan, the number of options granted and the dates for their
granting among other issues. The option initial exercise price was in principle equal to the market price of the Company’s
shares as of the date of First Grant. The exercise price shall increase on 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary by 11%. The
vesting period lasts 3 to 5 years. There are no cash settlement alternatives.
Plan 8 – Long Term Incentive Plan
In 2021 the Group introduced a new Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program which is addressed to members of the
management team and other relevant personnel of the Group. LTI substitutes previous Management Incentive and Stock
Option Plans functioning at AmRest, keeping in place the already granted stock options. Participants of the new LTI will
have the opportunity to receive AmRest shares. The number of shares to be received will be linked to the Group’s
performance (realization of Global EBITDA for three years following the date of approval of each grant). The LTI grants
will vest according to a 5-year agenda (60% after 3rd year, 20% after 4th year, 20% after 5th year). Once vested, the LTI
rights will be evaluated and converted (if applicable) into shares, while the shares will be transferred to the participant’s
brokerage account. There are no cash settlement alternatives. The grant date for each plan will take place at the vesting
date of the 1st tranche. This LTI Program will be the basis for grants that are going to be approved in following years.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as of 31 December 2022 was 7.31
years (2021: 7.62 years).
The fair value of the equity instruments has been measured using numerical method for solving differential equations by
approximating them with difference equations, called finite difference method. The fair value of the cash-settled options
has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula. The fair value of the options as of the grant date has been
determined using the support of an external actuary.
The fair value of the options granted during the period, as of the grant date, amounted as described below. In 2022 the
Group has not decided to grant any options to employees. In 2021 it was determined on the basis of the following
parameters:

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of
exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period
similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

The LTI Program is not an option program – Participants will receive AmRest shares instead of share options. The rights
under the LTI Plan were granted as an amount denominated in payroll currency of each Participant, which will be
converted into shares at the vesting date of the 1st tranche. The number of shares to be received will be determined
according to the following formula:
N = [(Grant ÷ ExRate) ÷ VWAP] × M,
where:
-Grant is the amount of the grant denominated in payroll currency,
-ExRate is the average exchange rate for the month preceding the vesting date of the 1st tranche that is applicable to
the payroll currency being converted into EUR,
-VWAP is the volume weighted average price of AmRest expressed in EUR, during the month preceding the vesting
date of the 1st tranche,
-M is the multiplier, the amount of which will depend on the degree to which non-market performance conditions are
met (minimum 0%, maximum 200%).
The fair value of the LTI grant is periodically remeasured using the assumptions of the Black-Scholes model. The fair
value of the LTI grant was determined on the basis of the following parameters:
- Share price at the valuation date: 4,17 EUR
- No expected dividends
- Risk-free interest rates for each currency according to the table below:

31.  Tax risks and uncertain tax positions
Tax inspections in AmRest Sp. z o.o.
a) On 30 July 2018 a tax inspection began at AmRest Sp. z o.o. regarding VAT returns for the period December 2017 –
March 2018. On 29 August 2018 the Company received the tax protocol and on 12 September 2018 the Company
submitted its reservations. On 20 November 2018 tax office initiated tax proceeding. On  23 July 2019 AmRest Sp. z o.o.
received the notification that the proceedings are suspended due to request for preliminary ruling submitted by the Polish
Supreme Administrative Court to the Court of Justice of European Union.
Despite the lack of a final decision from the tax office, in August 2018 Company received from the tax office cash
payments for VAT receivables related to the described VAT settlements (with respective interest).
On 19 July 2021 AmRest Sp. z o.o. has received the notification in respect to opening the suspended tax inspection
covering VAT returns for the period December 2017 – March 2018 and on 7 July 2022 AmRest Sp. z o.o. received the
decision based on which the Company has not  been obliged to pay any tax liability for the period December 2017 –
March 2018 due to the binding power of the individual ruling of the Ministry of Finance held AmRest Sp. z o.o.
b) On 12 December 2018 a tax inspection started at AmRest Sp. z o.o. regarding VAT returns for the period April –
September 2018. On 28 February 2019 AmRest Sp. z o.o. received the tax protocol issued by the Head of the Lower
Silesia Tax Office which questioning that VAT settlements for the period. On 14 March 2019 the company filed the
reservations to this protocol. On 25 March 2019 the company received the response to the submitted reservations. The
Head of the Lower Silesia Tax Office upheld the allegations described in the protocol. On 1 August 2019 AmRest Sp. z
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
46
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
o.o. received the notification that the proceedings are suspended due to request for preliminary ruling submitted by the
Polish Supreme Administrative Court to the Court of Justice of European Union.
Despite the lack of a final decision from the tax office, in January 2020 Company received from the tax office cash
payments for VAT receivables related to the described VAT settlements (with respective interest).
On 28 July 2021 AmRest Sp. z o.o. has received the notification from the Tax Authorities in respect to opening the
suspended tax inspection covering VAT returns for the period April – September 2018. Due to procedural reasons on
28 September 2022, the Head of the Customs and Tax Office initiated new customs and tax inspection on VAT for the
period from April to September 2018. On 23 January 2023 AmRest Sp. z o.o. received the control result. The tax
authorities identified irregularities, but AmRest Sp. z o.o.  is covered by binding individual ruling of the Ministry of Finance
issued for AmRest Sp. z o.o. and no tax liability should arise.
c) On 17 May 2019 AmRest Sp. z o.o. received the notification that tax inspections have been initiated regarding the VAT
settlements for the period from October 2018 to March 2019 (six separate tax inspections for every month). In 23 August
2021 AmRest sp. z o.o. has received the notification stating that tax inspections had evolved into tax proceedings.
As of the date of publication of these Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, the proceedings have not concluded.
The Tax Office set new deadline for proceedings. 
The Group analysed the risk with regards to ongoing tax inspections related to VAT and assessed that it is more probable
than not that the tax authority will finally accept the Company’s VAT tax filings. The same conclusions have been taken
considering external tax advisors. In reference to IFRIC 23 point 10, the Board of Directors’ opinion states that there is no
legal obligation for any cash outflows and there is no basis for the assessment of a higher probability that the risk would
materialize. Therefore, the Group decided that as of 31 December 2022 and as of the date of publication of these
Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, there are no obligating events, so there are no grounds for booking the
provisions for the aforementioned risk.
d) On 26 November 2018 a tax inspection began at AmRest Sp. z o.o. regarding CIT for 2013. On 26 November 2019
AmRest Sp. z o.o. received the decision questioning tax settlements in respect of recognition of interest cost on loans
received from AmRest Finance Zrt. PLN 0.2 million (EUR 0.05 million) and claiming additional income amounted to PLN
7.5 million (EUR 1.8 million) resulting from VAT refund received in 2013. The said Decision is not final and enforceable, ie.
AmRest Sp. z o.o. was not obliged to pay the tax assessed by the Tax Authorities upon obtaining respective decision. The
Company disagreed with conclusions presented in the decision and appealed against it on 5 December 2019.
On 30 March 2021 AmRest sp. z o.o. received the final decision for 2013 CIT settlements issued by the Head of the
Lower Silesian Tax and Customs Office which upheld the decision of the first instance in respect of the CIT levied on VAT
refund for this year - due to the fact that the decision was enforceable the Company paid outstanding tax liability together
with the interest. The Company did not agree with the decision and on 28 April 2021 filed the complaint to the Local
Administrative Court.
The questioned decision of the Tax Authorities has been repealed by the Court on 6 April 2022 and new decision should
be issued by the Tax Authorities. As of the date of publication of these Consolidated Annual Financial Statements the
proceedings have not concluded.
Tax inspections in other Group companies
e) In September 2016 AmRest Coffee Deutschland Sp. z o.o. & Co. KG (“Company”), identified the products that were
sold with an incorrectly applied VAT rate. This fact was presented to the tax officer who was responsible for the inspection
of periods prior to the acquisition of the business by AmRest. The Company undertook to correct the VAT calculation for
the periods not lapsed.
The corrective tax declarations were submitted, and the outstanding tax liability was paid in July 2018. The Company has
filed amended VAT tax returns – based on the approach confirmed with the tax office - for the period from 2009 to 2015.
On 18 October 2018 the Company received a communication from the tax office extending the tax audit by including the
financial year 2016, during which the acquisition of the Company by AmRest was completed. The tax audit covered the
following tax settlements: (1) separate and uniform determination of the income tax base including trade tax base and tax
losses, (2) VAT, (3) trade taxes, (4) separate determination of the trade tax loss carryforwards, (5) separate and uniform
determination of the withholding taxes and corporate income taxes.
On September 26, 2022, the tax audit ended with a tax assessment amounting to EUR 410k for VAT (already paid) and
EUR 421k for trade tax, which is being paid as required by the competent tax administration (currently paid EUR 119 k).
f) On 9 June 2022, the Suhi Shop Group received two tax assessments related to the computations of Corporate Income
Tax (CIT). The first assessment included two different corrections from CIT computations, i) an increase of tax payable for
CIT 2019 amounting to EUR 7 million which was paid by the Company on 1 August 2022 and it did not file allegations and
ii) correction of the CIT 2018-2019 for some other aspects (e.g. limit of deductibility of financial expenses). However, the
Company did not agree with the latter correction and filed allegations before the Tax Authorities. Those allegations were
rejected on 7 February 2023, and the Company has two months to file allegations before the French Courts.
The second settlement corresponded to the non-filing of the 2020 CIT return, so the tax authorities estimated the tax
payable based on the 2019 tax result, which resulted in a tax liability of EUR 2.8 million. The Company filed allegations in
August 2022 and received on 14 February 2023 a favourable resolution regarding the allegations submitted. Therefore,
the Group does not have any tax liability in relation to this second settlement.
The entity provided a bank guarantee for EUR 3.1 million covering both the CIT tax settlements appealed for 2018, 2019
and 2020.
g) On 22 July 2019 Pastificio Service S.L. (as the taxpayer), Amrest Tag SL (as head of the Tax Group 539/11 during the
tax audit period) and AmRest Holdings, SE (as the current head of the Tax Group 539/11) were notified of the initiation of
a tax audit, in regard to corporate income tax, for the fiscal years 2014 to 2017. This is a partial tax audit, only referred to
tax relief applied by Pastificio Service, SL in corporate income tax bases of 2014 to 2017, in regard to the deductions
related to certain intangible assets (i.e. patent box regimen).
On 22 March 2021 Pastificio Service S.L.U. (as the taxpayer), AmRest Tag S.L.U. (as head of the Tax Group during the
tax audit period) and AmRest Holdings SE (as the current head of the Tax Group) received the settlement agreement
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
from the tax office indicating the additional tax liability amounting to EUR 1.1 million, which was paid by the taxpayer on
14 June 2021. However, the Company disagree with the tax authorities and on 22 April 2021 submitted the economic-
administrative claim and the allegations has been filed on 26 July which were rejected. On 21 December 2022, the
companies filed before the National Audience the allegations writ and to date the Court's resolution has not been
received.
On July 2022 the Company received the tax settlement related to municipality tax (business activity tax) of it´s the Central
Kitchen activity (Lleida) related to fiscal years 2018 to 2021 for which it was claimed an additional tax liability amounting
to EUR 203k. The company agreed with the final tax assessment and paid on 29 July 2022.
h) On 9 June 2021 AmRest Kft and on 14 June 2021 AmRest Kávézó Kft have received the notification letters in respect
to planned initiation of tax proceedings. Tax proceeding in AmRest Kft relates to all tax settlements for the period
2018-2019 and in AmRest Kávézó Kft for the year 2019. Both tax audits have been concluded in April 2022 without any
relevant assessment.
In Group’s opinion there are no other material contingent liabilities concerning pending audits and tax proceedings, other
than those stated above.

fair values of cash and cash equivalents, rental deposits,  trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, as well
as current loans and borrowings and finance lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-
term maturities of these instruments. Fair values of non-current rental deposits, loans and borrowings and financial
liabilities immaterially differs from their carrying values. Trade and other receivables and liabilities presented below does
not include balance relating to taxes and employee settlements.
As of 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group did not have equity instrument measured at fair value. There were no
transfers between fair value hierarchy levels in year 2022 and in year 2021.
Classification of key classes of financial assets and liabilities with their carrying amounts is presented in note below:

Risk management
The Group is exposed to several financial risks in connection with its activities, including: the risk of market fluctuations
(covering the foreign exchange risk and risk of changes in interest rates), risk related to financial liquidity and – to a
limited extent – credit risk. The risk management program implemented by the Group is based on the assumption of the
unpredictability of the financial markets and is used to maximally limit the impact of negative factors on the Group’s
financial results.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investments in debt
securities. 
Financial instruments especially exposed to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The risk is spread over a number of banks, whose services are
used, and customers it cooperates with.
The maximum credit risk exposure on trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents amounts to EUR 342.3
million.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk related to financial instruments in the form of cash in bank accounts is limited, due to the fact that the parties to
the transaction are banks with high credit ratings received from international rating agencies.
Trade receivables
The Group analyses receivables by type of the customer. The Group operates chains of own restaurants under own
brands as well as under franchise license agreements. Additionally, the Group operates as franchisor (for own brands)
and master-franchisee (for some franchised brand) and develops chains of franchisee businesses, organizing marketing
activities for the brands and supply chain. Consequently, the Group analyses two stream of receivables related to:
-Restaurant sales,
-Franchise and other sales.
The Group’ receivables related to restaurant sales are limited and have low credit risk due to the short settlement time
and the nature of settlement, as guests pay in restaurants generally in cash or via credit or debit cards.
Receivables related to franchise sales include franchise receivables referring to own brands and master-franchise
agreements. For these receivables the Group performs detailed analysis of expected credit loss.
The Group’s exposure to that credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
the Group also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk
associated with the industry and country in which customers operate, including the external rating related to particular
country.
For these receivables the Group applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected credit
losses (ECLs) to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Group has established a provision matrix
that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the
economic environment.
During year 2022 the Group recognized an impairment of the Group’s receivables exposed to credit risk in an net amount
of EUR 0.9 million.
The ageing break-down of receivables and receivable loss allowance as of 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 is
presented in the table below.

Interest rate risk
Bank borrowings drawn by the Group are most often based on fluctuating interest rates (note 27). As of 31 December
2022 the Group does not hedge against changes in cash flows resulting from interest rate fluctuations which have an
impact on the results. The Group analyses the market position relating to interest on loans in terms of potential
refinancing of debt or renegotiating the lending terms and conditions. The impact of changes in interest rates on results is
analysed in quarterly periods.
Had the interest rates on loans denominated in Polish zlotys during the year ended 31 December 2022 been 30 base
points higher/lower, the profit before tax for the period would have been EUR 285 thousand lower/higher (2021: EUR
329.1 thousand).
Had the interest rates on loans denominated in euro during the year ended 31 December 2022 been 30 base points
higher/lower, the profit before tax for the period would have been EUR 653 thousand lower/higher. (Had the interest rates
on loans denominated in euro during the 12 months ended 31 December 2021 been 30 base points higher/lower, the
profit before tax for the period would have been the same.)
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to transactions in currencies other than the functional currency in
which the business operations are measured in particular Group companies. Foreign exchange risk results from future
business transactions, recognised assets and liabilities. Moreover, lease payments related to a significant part of the
Group’s lease agreements are indexed to the exchange rate of EUR or USD. Nevertheless, the Group is trying to sign
lease agreements in local currencies whenever possible.
Net investment foreign currency valuation risk
The Group is exposed to risk of net investment valuation in subsidiaries valued in foreign currencies. This risk is hedged
for key positions with use of net investment hedge. Details concerning hedging on currency risk are described in note 23.
Liquidity risk
Prudent financial liquidity management assumes that sufficient cash and cash equivalents are maintained and that further
financing is available from guaranteed funds from credit lines.
The table below shows an analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities which will be settled in net amounts in particular
ageing brackets, on the basis of the term to maturity as of the balance sheet date. The amounts shown in the table
constitute contractual, undiscounted cash flows. The interest payments on variable interest rates loans in the table below
reflect market interest rates at the reporting date and these amount may change as market interest rates change. The
future cash flows on financial liabilities may be different from the amount in the table below as interest rates and
exchange rates change. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly
earlier or at significantly different amounts.
The maturity break-down of long- and short-term borrowings as well as trade and other liabilities as of 31 December 2022
and 31 December 2021 is presented in the table below:

the interest payments on variable interest rate loans reflect market interest rates at the reporting date.
The future cash flows may be different from the amounts in the table as exchange rates or interest rates change.
Capital risk
The Group manages capital risk to protect its ability to continue in operation, so as to enable it to realize returns for its
shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce its cost.

37.  Events after the reporting period
In connection with the sale of its KFC stores in Russia (the “Business”), AmRest informs that, subsequent to 31
December 2022, Unirest LLC (“Unirest”), an affiliate of Yum! Brands Inc. (“Yum! Brands”), has exercised its right of first
refusal pursuant to the underlying franchise agreements for itself or for the benefit of a third party, and has appointed
Smart Service Nord Ltd (“Smart Service”) as the purchaser of the Business.
Smart Service is operated by two Russian KFC franchisees, Messrs. Konstantin Kotov and Andrey Oskolkov and,
according to public information, is the entity with which Yum! Brands Inc. entered into a sale and purchase agreement to
transfer ownership of its Russian KFC restaurants in October of 2022. 
As a consequence of Unirest’s exercise of its right of first refusal, AmRest has terminated the sale and purchase
agreement entered into with OOO Almira on 6 December 2022, and signed a new sale and purchase agreement with
Smart Service on 25 February 2023 substantially in the same terms and conditions of the agreement between AmRest
and OOO Almira.
Therefore, the new sale and purchase agreement is subject to the approval by the anti-trust agency of Russia and to
other regulatory approvals which could be applicable in Russia.
As of today, and according to the terms of the sale and purchase agreement, AmRest expects to receive a minimum of 
EUR 100 million  from the sale of the Business.

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
38.  Significant accounting policies
a.  Basis of consolidation
Business combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and
assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set
of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a
minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.
The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set
of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the
gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at
acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss
immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre‑existing relationships. Such
amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent
consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and
settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each
reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee
if, and only if, the Group has:
-Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities  of the
investee),
-Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee,
-The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes
to one or more of the three elements of control.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group
loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the
year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group
ceases to control the subsidiary.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any
related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained
in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
Non-controlling interests and transactions with non-controlling interests
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control over subsidiary company are
recognised as equity transactions. In such cases, the Group adjusts the carrying amount of the controlling and non-
controlling interest and effect of transactions with non- controlling interest is presented in equity items allocated to the
owners of the parent.
Interests in equity-accounted investees
The Group’s interests in equityaccounted investees comprise interests in associates and a joint venture.
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the
financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the
Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at
cost, which includes transaction costs. The Group’s investment in equity-accounted investees includes goodwill (net of
any potential accumulated impairment write-downs), determined as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity
accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions,
are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the
investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
b.  Foreign currency
Functional currencies and presentation currency
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in euros.
For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity
are measured using that functional currency.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
53
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
The Group uses European Central Bank‘s exchange rates for currency translations. For Russian rouble the Group is
using exchange rate as published by National Bank of Russia as European Central Bank has suspended its publication of
a euro reference rate for the Russian rouble from 1 March 2022.
The functional currency of none of the subsidiaries is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy as at 31 December
2022.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the
exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. For simplification monthly income statements are translated using
average monthly exchange rates based on the European Central Bank rates.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined.
Nonmonetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss and presented within
finance costs.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in OCI:
-An investment in equity securities designated as of FVOCI,
-A financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is
effective,
-Qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are
translated into euro at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are
translated into euro at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that
the translation difference is allocated to NCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that
particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.
c.  Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups
classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value  less costs to sell. Costs to
sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding finance costs
and income tax expense.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or
disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should
indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell  will be withdrawn.
Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from
the date of the classification. 
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial
position.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is
classified as held for sale, and:
-Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
-Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations, or
-Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as
profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss.
d.  Revenues
The Group operates chains of own restaurants under own bands as well as under franchise license agreements.
Additionally Group operates as franchisor (for own brands) and master-franchisee (for some franchised brand), and
develops chains of franchisee businesses, organizing marketing activities for the brands, and supply chain.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services.
Restaurant sales
Revenues from the sale of goods by owned restaurants are recognised as Group sales when a customer purchases the
goods, which is when our obligation to perform is satisfied. These revenues are presented in “Restaurant sales” line in
the Consolidated Income Statement.
Franchise and other sales: owned brands
Royalty fees (based on percentage of the applicable restaurant’s sales) are recognised as the related sales occur.
Royalty fees are typically billed and paid monthly.
Initial fees, renewal fees: for each brand separately, the Group analyses if the activities performed are distinct from
the franchise brand. If they do not represent a separate performance obligation they are recognised on a straight-line
basis over the contract duration. If they represent a separate obligation, the Group estimates the allocation of the
part of the transaction price to that performance obligation.

AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
advertising cooperatives are required for both Company-owned and franchise restaurants and are generally based
on a percentage of restaurant sales. Revenues for these services are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis.
Advertising services that promote the brand (rather than an individual location), such as national advertising
campaigns, are not separable between different franchise agreements or franchisees, and not distinct because the
services and franchise right are highly dependent and interrelated with each other. The sales-based advertising fund
contributions from franchisees are recognised as the underlying sales occur, are reported gross as part of revenue
and presented in line “Franchise and other sales”. Own restaurants participation in marketing costs as an element is
presented as element of operational costs.
Revenue from sale of products to franchisees is recognised at the moment of transaction which is when our
obligation to perform is satisfied.
Franchise and other sales: master-franchise agreements
As a result of signed Master Franchise Agreements (MFAs) for different Pizza Hut concepts, YUM (“Master Franchisor”)
granted AmRest (“Master Franchisee”) Master Franchise Rights for the agreed term in the particular territories.
Intellectual property is exclusive property of Master Franchisor and Master Franchisor grants AmRest a license to use it in
the agreed territory. Under the Master Franchise Agreement parties established the development commitments for
development periods.
Performance obligations identified:
AmRest’s performance obligation to YUM: to develop the market by opening new restaurants (either AmRest own or
sub-franchises) and promote the YUM’s brand by performing marketing activities. Managing marketing fund is not
distinct from the development of the market, and no separate remuneration was agreed between parties for those
services. Various streams of cash flows are agreed in MFA: AmRest collects initial fees and transfers them to YUM,
AmRest manages the marketing fund (collects revenue based contributions from owned and sub-franchised
restaurants and spends them on marketing activities, any unspent amount is to be paid to YUM and YUM spends it
on national campaigns at its discretion). If a certain point of market development level is reached, AmRest is enabled
to receive a bonus that represents the transaction price for the service performed for the Master Franchisor. To
reflect the substance of the transaction, incomes from sub franchisees from initial and marketing fees are netted with
the initial fees paid/actual marketing expenses and bonus earned.
AmRest’s performance obligation to sub-franchisees: to grant sub-franchisees the right to use the system, system
property etc. and other services solely in connection with the conduct of the business at the outlet (sub-licensing
from YUM). The transaction price is agreed in the form of sales based royalties paid by franchisees. Initial fees and
renewal fees paid by franchisees are part of other performance obligations (described above). Corresponding costs
of acquiring license right from Yum are presented within costs of sales of franchise activities in the line “Franchise
and other expenses”.
Loyalty points programs
The Group has various loyalty points programs where retail customers accumulate points for purchases made which
entitle them to discount on future purchases. The loyalty points give rise to a separate performance obligation as they
provide a material right to the customer. A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points awarded to
customers based on relative stand-alone selling price and recognised as a contract liability until the points are redeemed.
Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are redeemed or when they expire or are likely to expire.
When estimating the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty points, the Group considers the likelihood that the customer
will redeem the points.
Gift cards
Gift cards may be issued to the guests in some brands and redeemed as a payment form in subsequent transactions.
The Group records a contract liability in the period in which gift cards are issued and proceeds are received. This liability
is calculated taking into account the probability of the gift cards’ redemption. The redemption rate is calculated based on
own and industry experience, historical and legal analysis. Revenue is recognised when a performance obligation is
fulfilled and a guest redeems the gift cards.
e.  Government grants
Government grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other operating
income on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised, unless the conditions for receiving the
grant are met after the related expenses have been recognised. In this case, the grant is recognised when it becomes
receivable.
f.  Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable
is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if
any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. 
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that itis no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has
become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Depending on the tax
jurisdiction where the Group’s subsidiaries operate recoverability of deferred taxes is assessed taking into account
potential time expiry of availability of deferred tax utilisation (e.g. in case of tax losses).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when  the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
55
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Tax benefits acquired as part of a business combination, but not satisfying the criteria for separate recognition at that
date, are recognised subsequently if new information about facts and circumstances change. The adjustment is either
treated as a reduction in goodwill (as long as it does not exceed goodwill) if it was incurred during the measurement
period or recognised in profit or loss.
The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off
current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to
settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in
each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or
recovered.
g.  Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a
lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.
The Group as a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. However, for the
leases of property the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease
components as a single lease component.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is
initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-
line basis. If the group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right of-use asset is depreciated over the
underlying asset’s useful life.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental
borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rates as the discount rates.
The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources
(differentiated by currency of the debt) and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease, based on long-
term IRS quotation.
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment
made (amortised cost using the effective interest method). It is remeasured when there is:
-a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate,
-a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or
-changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a
termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The Group incurs expenses on maintenance, security and promotion in the shopping malls (so called “common area
charges”). These items are separate services (non-lease components) and are recognised as an operating expenses.
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-
term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expenses on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
COVID-19-related rent concessions
The Group has applied COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions – Amendments to IFRS 16. The Group applies the practical
expedient allowing it not to assess whether eligible rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19
pandemic are lease modifications. The Group applied the practical expedient consistently to contracts with similar
characteristics and in similar circumstances. For rent concessions in leases to which the Group chooses not to apply the
practical expedient, or that do not qualify for the practical expedient, the Group assesses whether there is a lease
modification.
The Group as a lessor
At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. When the Group acts as a lessor, it
determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It
assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not
with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption
described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
Rental income arising from operating lease is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and included in
other income in the income statement.
h.  Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment (PPE) are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
The initial value of the property, plant and equipment of new restaurants built internally (such as construction sites and
leasehold improvements in restaurants) include the cost of materials, direct labour, costs of architecture design, legal
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
56
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
assistance, the present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use, wages and salaries
and benefits of employees directly involved in launching a given location.
The Group capitalizes the restaurants costs mentioned above incurred from the moment when the completion of the
project is considered likely. In the event of a later drop in the probability of launching the project at a given location, all the
previously capitalized costs are transferred to the income statement.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the Group. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
Gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss, under „other operating
gains and losses”.
Amortisation and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, including their material components, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
expected useful life of the assets/components. Land is not depreciated. Construction in progress is stated at cost, net of
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings, mainly drive- through restaurants
30 - 40 years 
Costs incurred on the development of restaurants (including leasehold improvements and
costs of development of the restaurants)
10 - 20 years *
Kitchen equipment assets
3 - 14 years 
Vehicles
4 - 6  years 
Other property, plant and equipment
3 - 10 years 
* over the lease term
The residual value, depreciation method and economic useful lives are reassessed at least annually.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
i.  Franchise, license agreements and other fees
The Group operates own restaurants on the basis of franchise agreements (third party brands). In accordance with the
franchise agreements, the Group is obliged to pay a non-reimbursable initial fee upon opening each new restaurant and
further fees over the period of the agreement (in the amount of a % of sales revenues, usually 5-6%), and to allocate a %
of revenues (usually 5%) to advertising activities specified in the respective agreements. Moreover, after the end of the
initial period of the franchise agreement, the Group may renew the franchise agreement after paying a renewal fee.
Non-reimbursable initial fees are in fact fees for the right to use the trademark and are included in intangible assets and
amortised over the period of the franchise (usually 10 years). Further payments made in the period of the agreement are
disclosed in the income statement upon being made. Fees for extending the validity of the agreements are amortised as
of the date of a given extension agreement coming into force.
The local marketing fee is recognised in the income statement as incurred in category direct marketing costs.
j.  Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Acquired licenses for computer software
are capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and prepare specific software for use.
Franchise right of use for Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King and Starbucks trademarks are recognised at the acquisition price.
The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure
is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Following initial recognition, intangible
assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset
to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised
in profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever
there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or
at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the
indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective
basis. 
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the
asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

k.  Goodwill
Goodwill on acquisition of a business  is initially measured at acquisition cost which is an excess of:
the sum total of:
othe consideration paid,
othe amount of all non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and
oin the case of a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value, at the acquisition-date, of an
interest in the acquiree,
over the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
Goodwill on consolidation is disclosed in a separate line in the statement of financial position and measured at cost net of
accumulated impairment write-downs. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.
Goodwill of foreign operations is translated into euro at the exchange rates at the reporting date. Gains and losses on the
disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the entity sold.
l.  Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its nonfinancial assets (other than investment property,
inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated for the purpose of impairment test.
A cash-generating unit (CGU) is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are
largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined
for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in line “Net impairment losses on other assets” They are allocated first
to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other
assets in the CGU.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the
extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. The reversal of impairment losses in recognised
in line “ Net impairment losses on other assets”.
Group performs in general two types of impairment tests: on restaurant levels, when impairment indicators exists and for
businesses were goodwill is assigned or impairment indicators identified.
Restaurants tests - procedure performed twice a year
Usually individual restaurants are considered separate CGUs in Group.
Twice a year out of all Group’s own restaurants that are operating over 24 months in AmRest structures are checked for
impairment indicators.  If at least one of the below indicators is met, then a restaurant impairment test is performed.
Restaurant EBITDA for last 12 month is negative.
Store was already fully or partially impaired during previous impairment processes.
Store is planned to be closed or sold after 3 months.
If one of the above indicators is identified for the store then the restaurant is tested for impairment. Value in use is usually
determined for the remaining estimated period of operation, as well analysis of potential onerous liabilities (mainly for
rental agreement costs) is performed for planned closures.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
58
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Regularly the Group also tests restaurants for which in past the impaired loss was recognised, in order to determine if any
reversal is required.
For recoverable value calculations of value in use, Group uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets that
require relevant judgments and estimates that include, among others, growth in sales and costs and applied discount
rates. In the event that the fair value less costs of sale is used as a reference, market references are used that take into
account, among others, location and updated market information.
Upon application of the IFRS 16 carrying amount of the tested restaurants includes also carrying amount of right of use of
assets in respective restaurants. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present
value using a posttax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset or CGU. In case the Group believes the asset tested within CGU will be recovered through the sale,
sublease or reallocation into another restaurant the respective adjustment is made in determining final impairment
charge. Discounted cash flows do not include outflows relates to rental agreements as those are considered an element
of financing under IFRS 16 and reflected in discount rate applicable for test.
Goodwill tests - unless impairment indicators exist, procedure performed once a year
For businesses where goodwill is allocated impairment tests are performed at least once a year. Goodwill is testes
together with intangibles (including those with indefinite useful lives), property plant and equipment, right of uses assets
as well other non-current assets allocated to groups of CGUs where goodwill is monitored. If impairment indicators exist
additional tests are performed. Following indicators are analysed:
Arising from external sources of information such as:
Significant adverse changes that have taken place (or are expected in the near future) in the technological, market,
economic or legal environment in which the entity operates or in its markets,
Increases in interest rates, or other market rates of return, that might materially affect the discount rate used in
calculating the asset’s recoverable amount.
Arising from internal sources of information, including:
Plans to discontinue or restructure the  operation to which the asset belongs, as well as  reassessing the asset’s
useful life from indefinite to finite,
Deterioration in the  expected level of the asset’s performance i.e. when the actual net cash  outflows or operating
profit or loss are significantly worse than budgeted,
Where management’s own forecasts of future net cash inflows or operating profits show a significant  decline from
previous budgets and forecasts.
Materiality applies in determining whether an impairment review is required. If previous impairment reviews have shown a
significant excess of recoverable amount over carrying amount, no review would be necessary in the absence of an event
that would eliminate the excess. Previous reviews might also have shown that an asset’s recoverable amount is not
sensitive to one or more of the impairment indicators.
The recoverable amounts is assessed using fair values less costs of disposal model based on the discounted cash flows.
For recoverable value calculations, the Group uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets that require
judgment and other estimates that include, among others, the operating result on sales and the discount and growth rates
at long term.
Post tax rate is applied, and implied pre-tax rate subsequently determined.
Discounted cash flows do not include outflows relates to rental agreements as those are considered an element of
financing under IFRS 16 and reflected in discount rate applicable for test.
Sensitivity analysis is performed as an element of impairment tests procedures.
m.  Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at fair value.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period
in which they arise, including the corresponding tax effect, when applicable.
n.  Inventories
Inventories include mainly materials and goods for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
o.  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash reported in the statement of financial position comprises cash at banks and on hand, short-term deposits with a
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term
deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts if they are considered an integral part of the Group’s cash
management.
p.  Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI),
Those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),
Those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of
the cash flows.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
59
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in
equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at
the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI). The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets
changes.
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group commits
to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial
assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded
derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and
interest. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the
cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt
instruments:
-Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is
included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is
recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and
losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss,
-FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the
assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the
carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue
and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and
recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using
the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and
impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss,
-FVTPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a
debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within
other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value
gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment.
Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group’s right to
receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL are recognised in other operating gains/(losses) in the statement of
profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at
FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Impairment
The group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit
risk. For trade receivables, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected
lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Group recognises loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on:
Financial assets that are debt instruments such as loans, debt securities, bank balances and deposits and trade
receivables that are measured at amortised cost,
Financial assets that are debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income,
Finance lease receivables and operating lease receivables,
Contract assets under IFRS 15.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the
next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the
exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). The changes in the loss allowance balance are
recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash
flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes observable data about
such events.
The Group applied the simplified approach for:
all trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, and that contain a
significant financing component in accordance with IFRS 15,
all lease receivables that result from transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 and IFRS 16 (when applied).
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss
experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

q.  Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as of FVTPL if it is classified as heldfortrading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such
on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any
interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. The Group has not designated any financial liability as of fair value
through profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest
expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also
recognised in profit or loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
Initially, borrowings are recognised in the books of account at the fair value net of transaction costs associated with the
borrowing. Subsequently, borrowings are recognised in the books of account at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate.
The liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing
liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability
and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Borrowings are
classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the balance sheet date.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on
a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
r.  Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-
measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken
directly to profit or loss for the period.
The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction
(cash flow hedge), or
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge).
At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in
the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its
hedge transactions.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the
ineffective portion is recognszed immediately in the income statement under ‘other financial income or costs – net’.
When forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Group generally designates only the change in fair
value of the forward contract related to the spot component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the
effective portion of the change in the spot component of the forward contracts are recognised in the cash flow hedge
reserve within equity. The change in the forward element of the contract that relates to the hedged item (‘aligned forward
element’) is recognised within OCI in the costs of hedging reserve within equity. In some cases, the entity may designate
the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. In such cases,
the gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognised
in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or
is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is
discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in the hedging reserve remains in equity until, for a hedge of a
transaction resulting in the recognition of a non-financial item, it is included in the non-financial item’s cost on its initial
recognition or, for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged
expected future cash flows affect profit or loss. If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the
amounts that have been accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve are immediately reclassified
to the income statement under ‘other financial income or costs – net’. 
Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.
Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is
recognised immediately in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income
statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
Hedge is effective if:
There is economic relationship between hedged item and hedging instrument,
The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes,
The actual hedge ratio (designated amount of hedged item/designated of hedged instrument) is based on the
amounts the Group is us using for risk management.
The Group uses loans as a hedge of its exposure to foreign exchange risk on its investments in foreign subsidiaries.

s.  Share based payments and employee benefits
Share-based payments
The Group has both equity-settled share-based programs and cash-settled share-based programs.
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to awarding fair value at the grant date.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in
which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled
to the award (“vesting date”). The cumulative expense is recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date
until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the
opinion of the parent’s Management Board at that date, based on the best available estimate of the number of equity
instruments, will ultimately vest.
Cash-settled transactions
Cash-settled transactions have been accounted since 2014 as a result of a modification introduced to existing share-
based programs. Some programs were modified so that they may be settled in cash or in shares upon decision of a
participant. As a result, the Group re-measures the liability related to cash-settled transaction.
The liability is subsequently measured at its fair value at every balance sheet date and recognised to the extent that the
service vesting period has elapsed, with changes in liability valuation recognised in income statement. Cumulatively, at
least at the original grant date, the fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as an expense (share-based
payment expense).
At the date of settlement, the Group remeasures the liability to its fair value. The actual settlement method selected by the
employees, will dictate the accounting treatment:
If cash settlement is chosen, the payment reduces the fully recognised liability,
If the settlement is in shares, the balance of the liability is transferred to equity, being consideration for the shares
granted. Any previously recognised equity component shall remain within equity.
Long-term employee benefits based on years in service
The net value of liabilities related to long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefits which were vested in
the employees in connection with the work they have carried out them in the current and past periods. The liability was
accounted for based on the estimated future cash outflows, and at the balance sheet date, the amounts take into
consideration the rights vested in the employees relating to past years and to the current year.
Retirement benefit contributions
During the financial period, the Group pays mandatory pension plan contributions dependent on the amount of gross
wages and salaries payable, in accordance with legally binding regulations. The public pension plan is based on the pay-
as-you-go principle, i.e. the Group has to pay contributions in an amount comprising a percentage of the remuneration
when they mature, and no additional contributions will be due if the Company ceases to employ the respective staff. The
public plan is a defined contribution pension plan. The contributions to the public plan are disclosed in the income
statement in the same period as the related remuneration, under “Payroll and employee benefits”.
t.  Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle  the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be
reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only
when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to  a provision is presented in the statement of profit or
loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,
when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Costs of bringing the location to the condition it had been in before the lease agreement was signed
Depending on particular contracts the Group may be obliged to bring the location to the condition it had been in before
the lease agreement was signed. Asset retirement provision costs are provided for at the present value of expected costs
to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the relevant asset (leasehold
improvement asset within PPE section).
The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit or  loss as a finance
cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed periodically and adjusted if needed.
Development commitments unattained
Group restaurants are operated under franchise and development agreements with YUM! and subsidiaries of YUM!,
Burger King Europe GmbH, Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. In accordance with these agreements, the Group is
obliged to meet certain development commitments as well as maintain the identity, reputation and high operating
standards of each brand.
Certain development commitments may be determined on annual basis and may result in recognition of agreed bonuses
if case the development commitments are satisfied or exceeded. Alternatively if the Group believes the commitments will
not be attained the respective provision are recognized. The Group considers all available fact and circumstances to
determine the risks related to future liabilities including planned openings as included in the annual operating plan for next
reporting year.
The provisions are periodically reviewed. The net expenses/gains relating to a provision are presented in the statement of
profit or loss in other operating incomes/expenses section.
Contingent liabilities and assets
A contingent liability is disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
62
AMREST GROUP Consolidated Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of
economic benefits to the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised in financial statements since this may result in the
recognition of income that may never be realised. A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is
probable.
u.  Equity
Equity includes equity attributable to shareholders of the parent and non-controlling interests.
Equity attributable to shareholders of the parent is grouped into the following:
Share capital,
Reserves,
Retained earnings,
Translation reserve.
The effect of the following transactions is presented under reserves:
Share premium  (surplus over nominal amount) and additional contributions to capital without the issue of shares
made by the shareholders prior to becoming public entity,
Effect of accounting for put options over non-controlling interests,
Effect of accounting for share-based payments,
Treasury shares,
Effect of hedges valuation,
Effect of accounting for transactions with non-controlling interests.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as share capital. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are
shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. The income tax effect relating to transaction costs of an equity
transaction is also accounted for in equity.
Treasury shares
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly
attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and
are presented in “Reserves”.
Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion
of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
39.  Changes in accounting policies, reclassification and restatement of
comparatives summary
Newly applied standards, amendments and interpretations
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021,
except for the adoption of new standard, interpretations, and amendments to standards effective as of 1 January 2022.
The amendments and interpretations below were applied in 2022 and had no significant impact on the accounting policies
applied.
Amendments to IFRS 3 -Reference to the Conceptual Framework
The amendments add an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or
losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be  within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities  and Contingent Assets or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.  The exception requires entities to apply the
criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present
obligation exists at the acquisition date. At the same time, the amendments add a new paragraph to IFRS 3 to clarify that
contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date.  The amendments must be applied prospectively.
Earlier application is permitted. The amendments  are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use
The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds
of the sale of items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by management. Instead,  an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, 
and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2022.
Amendments to IAS 37 -Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract
The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-
making. The amendments apply a ‘directly related cost approach’.  The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide
goods or services include both incremental costs (e.g., the costs of direct labour and materials) and an allocation of costs
directly related  to contract activities (e.g., depreciation of equipment used to fulfil the contract as well as costs of contract
management and supervision). General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded
unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. The amendments are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.

40.  Standards issued but not yet effective
Below amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2023 and earlier application is
permitted. The Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering
recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17
applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of
entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation
features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for
insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are
largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for
insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. Additionally, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments to
IFRS 17. IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It is not expected that standard
will have a material impact on Group.
Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information.
Amendments were issued on 9 December 2021 and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2023. It is expected that standard will not have a material impact on Group.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting
policies.
The amendments specify requirements and provide guidance to help entities make more effective accounting policy
disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It is expected that
standard will not have a material impact on Group.
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting
Estimates
The amendments introduce the definition of accounting estimate and include other amendments to IAS 8 to help entities
distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The amendments are effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It is expected that standard will not have a material impact on
Group.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction.
Amendments were issued on 7 May 2021 and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It is
expected that standard will not have a material impact on Group.
Below standards and amendments that and are issued but not yet approved by European Union. The Group will apply the
standard once approved by the European Union.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
These amendments clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting
period affect the classification of a liability.  The new guidance will be effective for annual periods starting on or after 1
January 2024. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and will be reflected in accounting for future transactions
of Group. The Group will implement these amendments for future transactions and it is expected that standard will not
have a material impact on Group.
Amendment to IFRS 16 – Leases on sale and leaseback
Amendments were issued in September 2022. These amendments include requirements for sale and leaseback
transactions in IFRS 16 to explain how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale
and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an
index or rate are most likely to be impacted. Effective date Annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. it is
expected that standard will not have a material impact on Group.

Dear Shareholders,
I am proud to confirm that during 2022, at AmRest we proved to be exceptionally well-positioned to meet the challenges
of our exciting industry, which is currently undergoing one of the most interesting transformations in its history.
Over the course of the year, our business model once again demonstrated its resilience and ability to adapt, and even
thrive, under any circumstances, enabling us to reap the benefits of our international scope, sound strategic approach,
and diversification.
Our passionate employees lead by a knowledgeable and committed management team, provide our consumers in every
region with an extraordinary experience every day through our fully integrated omni-channel approach and technological
innovations.
At AmRest we are increasingly mindful of the importance of taking care of the environment, the people around us and
ourselves. Therefore we have continued to integrate sustainability into all of our processes and decisions, investing in
both the development of our human capital and in innovating, and in aligning our growth objectives, generating value for
our shareholders and society, and addressing the demands of our customers.
We have modified how we work and interact with each other and adopted new technologies which have become part of
our daily lives, allowing us to connect efficiently with each other regardless of where we are and to serve our customers,
embracing their changing consumption habits.
During the height of the pandemic, we effectively served the surge in demand for off-premise consumption with
excellence in delivery and take-out options and by constantly improving our technology and digital channels. In more
recent months, as consumers have begun to return safely and enthusiastically to our establishments, we have made sure
that they receive the friendly greeting, excellent service, and quality food that they demand in order to continue to honour
us with their patronage. Regardless of any global challenges we face, we continue to be committed to providing the best
value to our guests.
In 2022, the result of these actions led AmRest to generate our highest sales on record, at 2,422 million euros, with a
growth of more than 26%, compared to 2021, and double-digit increases in the number of transactions.
We also increased our capital investments by more than 40%, for a record resource allocation to modernising a
significant number of restaurants, as part of our renewed focus on our customers. We expect the number of restaurants in
the portfolio to begin to increase again soon, as we leverage the strategic adjustments we made during the year.
I am very optimistic about the opportunities that lie ahead for AmRest and I am certain we will continue to be the
European leader that inspires the global restaurant industry.
I wish to extend my appreciation to the AmRest team, for their hard work and professionalism, and to our Board of
Directors and shareholders for their continued support.

Chairman of the Board of Directors

AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Group Business Overview
Basic services provided by the Group
AmRest Holdings SE (“AmRest”, “Company”) with its subsidiaries (the “Group”) is Europe's leading listed restaurant
operator with a portfolio of renowned brands in 23 countries. The Group operates 2 340 restaurants under franchised
brands such as KFC, Starbucks, Pizza Hut and Burger King, as well as its own brands such as La Tagliatella, Sushi Shop 
Blue Frog and Bacoa. The company also has several virtual brands in its portfolio.
As of 31 December 2022, AmRest managed a network of 2 340 restaurants. Given the current scale of the business,
every day almost 51 thousand of AmRest employees deliver, on a daily basis, delicious taste and exceptional service at
affordable prices, in accordance with the Company’s unique culture.
Nowadays, the Group manages the network of restaurants across four main segments, which are aligned with the
geographical regions of its operations:
Central and Eastern Europe (“CEE”), where historically the Company was founded and opened its first restaurant
under the name of Pizza Hut; today CEE division covers the region of 10 countries (Poland, Czech Republic,
Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia) and with 1 127 restaurants,
accounting for 46.9% of Group´s revenue.
Western Europe (“WE”), is a segment which primarily consists of Spain, France and Germany, where both
franchised and proprietary brands are operated, As a result of dynamic organic expansion supported by previous
acquisitions, Western Europe has become a significant operating segment of the Group consisting of 11
countries, 919 restaurants  and generating  34.2% of AmRest’s revenues.
Russia, where AmRest manages a network of 214 KFC restaurants.
China, where the 80 restaurants of Blue Frog proprietary brand are operated.
And one additional segment “Other” which covers corporate office expenses. It accounts for the results of SCM Sp. z o.o.
along with its subsidiaries and other support costs and functions rendered for the Group or not allocated to applicable
segments such as, for instance, Executive Team, Controlling, Treasury, Investor Relations, Mergers & Acquisitions. The
detailed description of the segments is included in Note 5 (‘Segment reporting’) of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The brands of AmRest are well-diversified across five main categories of restaurant services:
1)Quick Service Restaurants (“QSR”), represented by KFC and Burger King,
2)Fast Casual Restaurants (“FCR”), represented by Pizza Hut Delivery and Express, Bacoa and Sushi Shop,
3)Casual Dining Restaurants (“CDR”), represented by Pizza Hut Dine-in, La Tagliatella and Blue Frog,
4)Coffee category, represented by Starbucks,
5)Virtual brands.
Within the current business model of the Group, AmRest operates its network of restaurants as a franchisee (for the
brands of KFC, Pizza Hut, Starbucks and Burger King), as well as a brand owner and franchisor (for the brands of La
Tagliatella, Blue Frog, Bacoa and Sushi Shop). In addition, within the concepts of Pizza Hut Delivery and Pizza Hut
Express the Company acts as a master-franchisee, having the rights to sub-license these brands to third parties.
AmRest restaurants provide on-site catering, take-away and drive-in services at special sales points (“Drive Through”), as
well as deliveries of orders placed online or by telephone. The diversification of channels and the continuous
enhancement of take away and delivery capabilities has been key to adapting quickly to new consumer habits. Dine in
was the biggest sales channel previous to the pandemic, however despite the end of the restrictions dine in sales
volumes are still pending to recover previous levels.

Financial and asset position of the Group
Revenues and profitability
The year 2022 has been marked by the sanitary normalisation in most countries after mass vaccinations were carried out
among the population, leaving behind the restrictions on mobility and other constraints on daily life that the Covid-19
pandemic entailed. The big exception was China, conditioned by strict Covid zero policies. The second major event of
2022 was the start of the war in Ukraine. The economic repercussions of the conflict exacerbated inflationary pressures
around the world by generating a shock to energy production prices. Central banks have reacted by tightening their
monetary policies and consequently financing conditions. However, most economies have shown a high level of
resilience in terms of economic growth thanks to the strength of the labour market and to the high levels of savings
accumulated by households over the last years, which has allowed consumption levels to be maintained.
This challenging economic context has put in value the tremendous progress AmRest has made in recent years, from a
commercial perspective, in terms of technological transformation, efficiency gains and balance sheet strengthening.
The commercial positioning has resulted in an all-time revenue record. In 2022 AmRest generated revenues of
EUR 2 422 million.
The gradual easing of virtually all sanitary restrictions significantly boosted mobility, which, combined with AmRest's
omnichannel positioning, resulted in a significant increase in the Group's commercial activity. Guest changing habits have
accelerated over the last few years demanding meals fast prepared and served in a convenient fashion. Off-premises,

drive-through, delivery, and mobile are increasingly important and AmRest is adapting efficiently to those changes. As a
result, for the full year 2022, Group revenues reached EUR 2 422 million with a growth of 26.3% compared to 2021 and
same store sales (SSS) stood at 121. Quarterly revenues showed a growing trend supported by a strong increase in the
number of transactions and, to a lesser extent, by moderate price increases in order to minimise the impact of cost
pressure on margins. In this regards, the number of  same store transactions (SST) index stood at 116.
During the fourth quarter of the year, revenues amounted to EUR 651.1 million, 20.8% higher than in 2021. Excluding 
Russia, the Group's quarterly sales grew quarter-on-quarter by 1.5% and set a new all-time high.
AmRest Group revenue for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019-2022
The technology transformation is at the heart of AmRest's value proposition. Digital sales are growing strongly
and already account for more than half of all transactions in the QSR segment.
Technology and people are the two fundamental pillars underpinning AmRest's value proposition based on service
excellence and a compelling value for money consumer experience. The Group is immersed in an ambitious
technological transformation that already provides clear competitive advantages from front to back end.
AmRest maintains the majority of its IT services in Cloud which provides high flexibility, especially from the scalability
perspective, a key capability for a clearly growth oriented company. It also maintains a centralised and integrated e-
commerce platform for the entire Group that enables accuracy, minimisation of errors, speed of execution and stability of
systems, resulting in an exceptional experience for the growing number of customers who chose our digital channels
(web, mobile, kiosks or aggregators). Currently more than half of the sales from the QSR segment are generated through
digital channels, which allows for a more customized offer to our customers needs while increasing the value of the
transaction.
From a back office perspective, the development of new inventory management or forecasting systems, such as
AmChicken, is improving the management of our restaurants, reducing waiting times for our customers and at the same
time decreasing waste.
Finally, through Global BI, we have been able to connect in real time all the restaurants operated by the Group and
access valuable information on the millions of transactions that take place in the different countries and brands of
AmRest, providing a great starting point to better understand the preferences of our customers and adapt efficiently to
them.
Advances in efficiency as a differentiating element. EBITDA generated in 2022 amounted to EUR 384.4 million.
Cost pressures in 2022 were initially caused by supply side distortions or bottlenecks following the opening of economies
that had left the worst of the pandemic behind. Although bottlenecks in global value chains eased in 2022, the start of the
war in Ukraine led to a new supply shock in energy products and many commodities, including agricultural products. This
situation led to higher and more persistent inflationary pressure than expected, with a global scope that has aggravated
risks to economic growth, especially in Europe. 
In this context, efficiency plays a key role as a differentiating element among our competitors, as it allows us to limit the
pass-through of costs to end consumers and to maintain a compelling price-value proposition for our guests.

AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
In order to control cost pressures and position AmRest to expand margins, an ambitious value-added programme has
been put in place which, through multidisciplinary teams from different brands and countries, identifies, develops, applies
and shares opportunities for savings in cost of sales, G&A, semis and CAPEX. This allows for increased visibility on
costs, facilitating the implementation of best practices, with clear traceable targets through operational KPIs and
establishing new routines and work processes. Some of the main pillars of work have been energy efficiency, process
control over suppliers, waste reduction, packaging management and delivery model.
In this context, AmRest generated an EBITDA of €384.4 million in 2022, up 7% compared to 2021. The highest figure in
AmRest's history excluding the extraordinary contribution of €37 million generated by the sale of Pizza Portal in 2019. By
geography, the excellent figures generated in Poland and the Czech Republic stand out. Despite all this, margins
deteriorated more than expected. The EBITDA margin reached 15.9% compared to 18.7% in 2021.
In the fourth quarter of the year, the EBITDA generated was EUR 94.3 million, -3.7% lower than in the same period of
2021. The comparison is affected by the the depreciation of the rouble and the impact of the business in China where
Covid infections soared in the country after the easing of restrictions, which caused a drastic disruption in our business
with the closure of restaurants and even a lack of available staff for delivery. However, a strong recovery of activity has
been observed as January progressed and Covid infections decreased. As of today, all AmRest restaurants in the country
are open and fully operational.
AmRest Group EBITDA for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019-2022
*percentage change excluding extraordinary gain in 2019.
The restaurant portfolio was adjusted with organic growth and strategic adjustments.
AmRest ended 2022 with a portfolio of 2 340 restaurants, 99 less than in the previous year. In terms of new openings,
109 new restaurants were opened in 2022, 79 owned and 30 franchised. As in previous years, there was a strong
seasonality and the last quarter of the year concentrated the highest number of openings with 63. Likewise, the portfolio
optimisation strategy continued to make progress with the closure of 63 non-strategic restaurants in the year, 16 of them
during the fourth quarter.
In addition, several business strategic adjustments were made. The Pizza Hut Russia business was transferred during
the second quarter of the year and Pizza Hut Germany during the fourth quarter. The combined number of restaurants
transferred amounted to 145, 20 of which were equity and 125 sub-franchised. 
An agreement was signed in December for the sale of the remaining business in Russia comprising 214 KFC restaurants.
The closing of the transaction is subject to clearance by the Russian competition authority, the consent of Yum! Brands
Inc. and other regulatory approvals that may apply in Russia.

Sustainable model that combines leverage control with growth
The high uncertainty about the evolution of inflation and geopolitical risks make difficult to predict the level of monetary
tightening that can be applied by the different central banks, which could condition the financing capacity of companies
and households in the future.
In this regard, one of the main priorities for AmRest's management in recent years has been to guarantee a sustainable
model, aligning the company's cash flow generating capacity with the investments made. In addition to reducing leverage
to levels considered prudent. At year end, financial leverage stood at 2x EBITDA (pre-IFRS16), which allows an adequate
capacity for action to face potential challenges and opportunities that may arise.
From the accounting point of view, shareholders' equity continued to strengthen. The Group's equity amounted to EUR
331 million after increasing by almost 8% during the year, despite the significant extraordinary impairment of EUR 52.9
million booked on the Russian business.
The Group's net financial debt amounted to EUR 425.4 million at year-end 2022, a reduction of more than EUR 200
million since the beginning of the pandemic, of which EUR 42 million was reduced during the year. In addition, a prudent
cash level of EUR 229.6 million is maintained, which represents an increase of EUR 31 million throughout the year. This
increase has been compatible with an acceleration in CAPEX to EUR 148.7 million compared to EUR 103.8 million in
2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, CAPEX increased to EUR 71.7 million. On the other hand, the Group's operating
cash flow generation reached EUR 362.5 million for the year, of which EUR 112.9 million was generated in the fourth
quarter.

Net financial debt evolution and cash position
*Net Debt pre IFRS16
Profit attributable to shareholders amounted to EUR 1.3 million after registering a significant impairment of EUR
52.9 million in the Russian business.
The Group's gross margin remained at 11.1%, the same level as in 2021, despite the enormous cost pressure faced.
However, the EBIT margin fell by more than two percentage points to 3% as consequence of the extraordinary
impairment booked for the Russia business. The total non-financial asset impairments amounted to EUR 55.4 million.
As of 30 June AmRest recorded an impairment of EUR 52.9 million on its Russian business. Subsequently, on 6
December it announced the agreement to sell this business. The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of
the Russian competition authorities, the consent of Yum! Brands Inc. owner of the brand and other regulatory approvals
that may be applicable in Russia. At year-end 2022, the net asset value of this business in the consolidated accounts
amounted to EUR 64.7 million. 
Furthermore, an additional EUR 2 million was recorded for impairment at the restaurant business unit level. This figure is
clearly lower than the EUR 18 million recorded in the financial year 2021. Furthermore, the number of restaurants subject
to impairment in 2022 was 131 compared to 240 in the previous year.

AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
commercial activity has been gaining momentum throughout the year, explained by the gradual recovery of dine-in,
following the sanitary normalisation, and by the increasing use of take away by our customers.
In the fourth quarter, revenues reached EUR 309.2 million, 23.4% higher than in the same quarter of 2021. EBITDA was
EUR 53.0 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 17.1%.
The restaurant portfolio reached 1 127 units after increasing by 41 restaurants with the opening of 58 new restaurants
and the closure of 17.
Western Europe (WE)
Revenues in this segment reached EUR 829.2 million, 15.0% higher than in 2021. The EBITDA generated amounted to
EUR 107.5 million with an EBITDA margin of 13.0%. Once more, sales were gaining momentum throughout the year,
mostly due to easing of restrictions that supported a gradual recovery of the dine in. Nonetheless, there were importance
divergencies among countries, while Spain and Germany recorded over 30% sales growth sales in France were stagnant
due to a lower delivery activity.
Revenues in the fourth quarter stood at EUR 223.5 million, 10.9% higher than in the same period of 2021. EBITDA
reached EUR 29.5 million, representing an EBITDA margin of 13.2%.
The total number of restaurants in the region stood at 919 units with a net decrease of 79 during 2022. From an organic
perspective there were 43 new openings and 36 closures, in addition to the transfer of the 86 Pizza Hut restaurants
located in Germany at year end.
Russia
Sales in Russia reached EUR 295.3 million, 59.4% more than in 2021 very affected by the exchange rate appreciation of
the  rouble.
Due to the termination on 31 May 2022 of the Pizza Hut Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) in Russia, the Pizza Hut's
restaurants in this market were transferred during the second quarter of 2022 to a third party operator appointed by Yum!
The transfer resulted in the exit of 59 restaurants, 19 equity and 40 franchised
As of 30 June AmRest recorded an impairment of EUR 52.9 million on its remaining Russian business. Subsequently, on
6 December it announced the agreement to sell this business that comprises 214 restaurants. The closing of the
transaction is subject to the approval of the Russian competition authorities, the consent of Yum! Brands Inc. owner of the
brand and other regulatory approvals that may be applicable in Russia. At year-end 2022, the net asset value of this
business in the consolidated accounts amounted to EUR 64.7 million.
China
Revenues generated during the year stood at EUR 82.6 million, (17.6)% lower that in 2021. The EBITDA generated  EUR
15.6 million, represents a margin of 18.8%. The business performance during the year was conditioned by the evolution
of the restrictions marked by the Zero Covid approach. Revenues in the fourth quarter were EUR 20.2 million, an
increase of 11% compared to 4Q20. EBITDA amounted to EUR 2.9 million with a margin of 14.4%%. After Covid
restrictions were lifted the infections spiked resulting in a significant business disruption. However, a strong recovery of
activity has been observed as January progressed and Covid infections decreased. As of today, all AmRest restaurants in
the country are open and fully operational
AmRest closed 2022 with 80 restaurants in the region after increasing the portfolio by 3 units during the year with the
opening of 8 new units and the close of 5. At year-end all the restaurants were operational but during the quarter up to
20% of the portfolio was affected by closures.

Alternative Performance Measures (APM) description
APM are metrics used by the company to describe operational or financial performance taking into account some key
information or constituent and adjusting them based on the purpose of such measure. AmRest identifies the following
Alternative Performance Measures in the Director’s Report:
1.Like-for-like or Same Store Sales (“LFL” or “SSS”) – represents revenue growth from comparable restaurants
(restaurants that have been operating for a period of longer than 12 months). The measure shows the ability of a
restaurant or a brand to increase its sales organically, It can be totalled the most accurately by taking the last
twelve months core revenue growth minus the last twelve months net equity openings growth.
2.EBITDA – One of Key Performance Indicators for the Group. It is a close indicator of the cash profitability on
operations and consists of profit from operations excluding amortisation and depreciation costs as well as
impairments. Reconciliation of the measure is provided in tables 4 or 5.
3.Adjusted EBITDA – Measures profitability performance without startup costs (operating costs incurred by the
Group to open a restaurant but before a restaurant starts generating revenue), indirect tax adjustments, M&A
related expenses (all material expenses connected with successful acquisitions, covering all professional
services, legal, financial, and other directly connected with a transaction) and effect of Stock Option Plan (SOP)
exercise method modification (difference in the accounting costs of employee benefits accounted for under the
cash settled versus equity settled option plan). It allows to present profitability for restaurants that already
generate revenue and without some unusual costs related to M&A, tax adjustments or accounting adjustments
related to SOP, Reconciliation of this APM is provided in tables 4 or 5.
4.Net debt – measures the level of external financing provided for the business as a sum of balance sheet
positions of loans and borrowings, including financial lease liabilities pre-IFRS 16, net of available cash and cash
equivalents, and guarantees.
5.Leverage ratio - measures the level of EBITDA calculated according to the financing agreements with the banks
to net debt. It is a generally accepted level that shows indebtedness of a company relative to its ability to
generate cash and profits from operations.

Planned investment activities
The recovery of the business activity and cash flow generation, in addition to achieved target level of deleveraging, has
resulted in over 40% CAPEX increased.
The Group intends to make further progress with a more efficient capital allocation. In this respect, AmRest’s working
priorities combined increasing the number of restaurants, brands and commercial capabilities, in addition to maintaining
restaurants and systems in optimal conditions.
From a business model perspective the development of a robust franchising activity is a key pillar of growth in the short
term. In addition, the Group intends to continue to pursue its development objectives, increase scale in supply chain
management and lead in digitalisation processes.
Finally, potential acquisitions remain an important factor for AmRest’s growth. The Group is well positioned for any
consolidation or acquisition in the sector that might be identified and would generate long term value for AmRest
shareholders.
Significant events and transactions in 2022
The end of the development agreement with Burger King
On 1 February 2022 Burger King Europe GMBH has notified AmRest about the termination of the development
agreements of the Burger King brand in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania effective as of the
same day.

AmRest continues to operate 100 Burger King restaurants that it owns in mentioned territories under the best standards
of service and quality, in compliance with the franchise agreements which continue to be in force.
Therefore, the revenues, EBITDA and total assets of AmRest will not be significantly affected by the termination of the
development agreements.
Initiation of process to suspend temporarily operations in Russia
On 9 March 2022, following the recent announcement made by Yum! Brands, the owner of the KFC and Pizza Hut
brands, AmRest informed that it was initiating the process to temporarily suspend its operations in Russia. All investment
in the region were also halted.
Transfer of Pizza Hut business in Russia and Germany
As previously announced, due to termination of Pizza Hut Master Franchise Agreements in Russia and Germany, the
Pizza Hut restaurants on these markets were transferred in Q2 2022 and Q4 2022, respectively, to two different
counterparties designated by Yum! These two transactions have led to the transfer of 145 restaurants (20 equity + 125
franchised), 59 in Russia and 86 in Germany. 
Amendment to terms of the Credit Agreement
In relation with the Senior Term and Revolving Facilities agreement dated 5 October 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”) and
with the Other Relevant Information published by the Company on 13 December 2021 (with registration number 13163),
AmRest signed on 8 September 2022 an amendment to certain terms of the Credit Agreement, including the lenders’
commitment to grant AmRest the so-called Facility G, in the amount of additional EUR 100 million, as well as the
inclusion of the obligation to maintain an equity / assets ratio, with the main terms regarding interest and maturity
remaining unchanged. 
As a consequence of such amendment, after the usual conditions for this type of transactions were fulfilled, AmRest drew
down the full amount of this credit line and is using it to finance the general corporate purposes of the AmRest group and
expansion.
Agreement to sale the business in Russia
On 6 December 2022 AmRest, through its subsidiaries AmRest Sp. z o.o. and AmRest Acquisition Limited, has entered
into a share purchase agreement with Almira OOO, for the sale of its KFC restaurant business in Russia (the
"Transaction"). The closing of the Transaction is subject to the approval by competition authority in Russia, the consent by
Yum! Brands Inc. and to other regulatory authorizations that may be applicable in Russia.
According to the terms of the share purchase agreement, as of the date of signing, AmRest expected to receive a
minimum of 100,000,000 euros for the Transaction.
The final terms of the Transaction, which are subject to certain external factors, including exchange rate, will be
communicated if the Transaction is closed. Nevertheless, AmRest estimates that after recognition of the impairment of the
Russian business in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, the completion of the Transaction should
not require further adjustments.
External Debt
As explained in the Significant events and transactions section, in relation with the Senior Term and Revolving Facilities

Subsequent events
In connection with the sale of its KFC stores in Russia (the “Business”), AmRest informs that, subsequent to 31
December 2022, Unirest LLC (“Unirest”), an affiliate of Yum! Brands Inc. (“Yum! Brands”), has exercised its right of first
refusal pursuant to the underlying franchise agreements for itself or for the benefit of a third party, and has appointed
Smart Service Nord Ltd (“Smart Service”) as the purchaser of the Business.
Smart Service is operated by two Russian KFC franchisees, Messrs. Konstantin Kotov and Andrey Oskolkov and,
according to public information, is the entity with which Yum! Brands Inc. entered into a sale and purchase agreement to
transfer ownership of its Russian KFC restaurants in October of 2022.
As a consequence of Unirest’s exercise of its right of first refusal, AmRest has terminated the sale and purchase
agreement entered into with OOO Almira on 6 December 2022, and signed a new sale and purchase agreement with
Smart Service on 25 February 2023 substantially in the same terms and conditions of the agreement between AmRest
and OOO Almira.
Therefore, the new sale and purchase agreement is subject to the approval by the anti-trust agency of Russia and to
other regulatory approvals which could be applicable in Russia.
As of today, and according to the terms of the sale and purchase agreement, AmRest expects to receive a minimum of 
EUR 100 million  from the sale of the Business.
Factors impacting the Group’s development
The Board of Directors of AmRest believes that the following factors will have a significant effect on the Group’s future
development and results.
External factors
competitiveness – in terms of prices, quality of service, location and quality of food,
demographic changes,
consumer habits and trends, i,e, the number of people using the restaurants,
number and location of the competitors’ restaurants,
changes in the laws and regulations which have an effect on the functioning of the restaurants and the
employees employed therein,
change in real estate rental costs and related costs,
changes in the prices of ingredients used to prepare meals and changes in the prices of packaging materials,
changes in the general economic and political condition in all countries where the business is run,
changes in consumer trust, the amount of disposable income and individual spending patterns,
changes in legal and tax determinants,
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
25
AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
adverse changes on the financial markets,
situation around COVID-19 pandemic, including the progress and efficiency of medical treatments.
Internal factors
gaining and training the human resources necessary for the development of the existing and new restaurant
networks,
obtaining attractive locations,
effective launching of new brands and products,
building an integrated information system.
Basic risks and threats the Group is exposed to
The Board of Directors of AmRest is responsible for the risk management system and the internal control system as well
as for reviewing these systems for operating efficiency. These systems help to identify and manage risks which may
prevent the execution of the long-term objectives of AmRest. However, having these safeguards in place does not ensure
completely against the risk of fraud or against breaking laws. The Board of Directors of AmRest is permanently analysing
and reviewing risks to which the Group is exposed. The main current risks and threats have been summarised in this
section. AmRest reviews and improves its risk management and internal control systems on an on-going basis. 
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of incurring losses resulting from the inability to meet payment obligations in a timely
manner when they become due or from being unable to do so at a sustainable cost. The Group is exposed to the risk to a
lack of financing at the moment of the maturity of bank loans and bonds.
As of 31 December 2022 the Group has sufficient liquidity to fulfil its liabilities over the next 12 months.
The Group analyses liquidity needs with particular focus on the maturity of debt and proactively investigates various
forms of financing that could be utilised as needed.
Risks related to the COVID-19 and its implications for the economy and society
During year 2022, in the main economies where the Group operates, many COVID 19 related restrictions imposed by the
governments were relaxed and lifted. This facilitated greater mobility and social interaction that positively impacted the
revenues level for Group.
The market which remained affected by the pandemic was China where strict lockdowns were imposed in some areas
during first quarter of 2022 and extended into the second quarter.
In September 2022, the head of WHO stated that the end of pandemic was in sight, yet the countries needed to remain
vigilant and review their policies to strengthen them for COVID 19 and future viruses. 
The occurrence of potential new mutations or variants in coming months, and their potential impact on Group’s operations
cannot be predicted.
Dependency on the franchisor
AmRest manages KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks (in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia) as a
franchisee, and therefore a number of factors and decisions related to the business activities conducted by AmRest and
the possibility of renewing or extending the duration of the franchise agreements, depend on the conditions (including
limitations or specifications) imposed by the franchisors or are subject to their consent.
Therefore, in relation to the duration of those agreements, the renewal is not automatic and AmRest cannot guarantee
that after the expiry of the initial periods of duration of the franchise agreements, which are typically ten years, a given
franchise agreement will be extended.
Dependency on cooperation with minority shareholders and Starbucks' call option
AmRest operates Starbucks restaurants in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary based on partnership agreements
with Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. The partnerships establishes that Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. is the
minority shareholder of companies operating Starbucks stores in mentioned countries. Therefore, some decisions as part
of the joint business activities are dependent on Starbucks’ consent.
If AmRest fails to comply with the obligation to open and run the minimum specified number of cafés, Starbucks Coffee
International, Inc. has the right to increase its share in these companies by acquiring shares from AmRest Sp. z o.o. at a
price agreed between the parties based on the valuation of the companies.
No exclusivity rights
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
26
AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
International Franchise Agreements per se do not typically grant exclusivity rights to the franchisee in the relevant
territories. In order to secure exclusivity rights for a certain territory, franchisees aim to have either a master franchise
agreement or a development agreement with the franchisor. Currently, AmRest does not have master franchise
agreements or development agreements in all territories and cannot secure that it will have exclusivity on certain
territories.
Risks related to the consumption of food products
Changes in consumer preferences arising from concerns over the nutritious properties of chicken, which is the main
ingredient in the KFC menu, or as a result of unfavourable information being circulated by the mass media concerning the
quality of the products, could pose a threat to the Group.
Furthermore, diseases caused by these (i.e. food poisoning) and damages to health as a result of eating in AmRest
restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and
Sushi Shop, and as a result of revealing unfavourable data prepared by the government or a given market sector
concerning the products served in AmRest restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger
King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and Sushi Shop, health-related issues and issues related to the functioning
patterns of one or more restaurants run both by AmRest and the competition could also pose a threat to the Group.
Food risks can result from a microbiological, chemical (formed during preparation like acrylamide e.g., burned
meat, dark brown fried French fries) or physical factors.
Risks associated with new technologies - that alter the characteristics of the food, such as genetic modification or
food irradiation, may change the composition of the food, replacing an existing or traditional method of food
production can also lead to a change in the levels of a hazard, such as the levels of pathogenic microorganisms.
Risks associated with allergenic foods - can range from mild to severe gastrointestinal effects, headaches,
respiratory problems or skin reactions to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Food poisoning (e.g., by incautious storage and preparation of food, contaminated food, or water).
Hormones or antibiotics in meat.
Risks related to key personnel turnover in the Group and increasing labour costs
AmRest´s success depends, to some extent, on the individual effort of selected employees and key members of
management.
Excessive turnover of employees and too frequent changes in managerial positions may pose a significant risk to the
stability and quality of the business activities.
Risks related to limited access to foodstuffs and the variability of their cost
Increases in the cost of commodities, raw materials and goods can have an adverse impact on Group's operating profit
margins
AmRest´s situation is also affected by the need to ensure frequent deliveries of fresh agricultural products and foodstuffs
and anticipating and responding to changes in supplies costs. The Group cannot rule out the risk related to delivery
shortage or interruptions caused by factors such as unfavourable weather conditions, changes in legal regulations or
withdrawing some foodstuffs from trading. Also the increased demand for certain products accompanied by limited supply
may lead to difficulties in obtaining these by the Group or to relevant price increases. Both the shortages and product
price increases may have an adverse effect on the Group‘s results, operations and financial standing.
Risks related to opening restaurants in new countries
Opening or taking over restaurants operating in a new geographical and political area involves the risk of varying
consumer preferences, a risk of insufficient knowledge of the market, the risk of legal restrictions arising from local
regulations and the political risk of these countries.
Currency risk
The results of AmRest are exposed to currency risk related to transactions and exchanges into currencies other than the
currency in which business transactions are measured in the individual Capital Group companies. The Group adjusts its
currency portfolio of debt to the geographical structure of its profile of activities.
Risks related to the current geopolitical situation
The Company conducts its business in countries where political climates are uncertain. Tensions around that subject may
result in a negative impact on economy, including unstable currency, interest rates, liquidity, supply chain disruptions and
consumer confidence deterioration.
In 2022, the increased geopolitical risk, as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, weighed adversely on global economic
conditions including the markets where the Group operates.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)
27
AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
The conflict has triggered turmoil in the financial markets around the world, and drastically increased uncertainty about
the recovery of the global economy, as reflected in the widespread deterioration of the consumer confidence indicators,
which has impacted on financial and commodity markets.
Despite the fact that the conflict has remained localized, it has had broad implications for economies across the world.
While Russia and Ukraine together represent a relatively small part of the world economy, they account for a large share
of global energy exports, food staples and agricultural inputs. As such, the main consequences to economies derived
from the conflict are inflation, due to the increased price of energy and non-energy commodities. The Group has been
closely monitoring their potential impact on Group’s current and future operations. All these events and uncertainty that
accompanies them may have a significant impact on the Group’s operations and financial position, of which the effect is
difficult to predict.
The future economic and regulatory situation may differ from the Management’s expectations.
Risk of increased financial costs
AmRest and its subsidiaries are exposed to a certain extent to adverse impact of interest rate fluctuations in connection
with obtaining financing which bears floating interest rates and investing in assets bearing floating interest rates. The
interest rates of bank loans and borrowings and issued bonds are based on a combination of fixed and floating reference
rates which are updated over periods shorter than one year.
Additionally, AmRest and its subsidiaries may, as part of the interest rate hedging strategy, enter into derivative and other
financial contracts, where the valuation of which is significantly affected by the level of reference rates.
Increases in the cost of energy and utilities
Significant increase of energy pricing impacted cost side on most European markets. Impact which we offsetting by
consumption reduction and by adjusted purchasing strategies.
Tax risk
In the process of managing and executing strategic decisions, which may affect the tax settlements, AmRest could be
exposed to tax risk. In the event of irregularities occurring in tax settlements it would increase the dispute risk in the case
of a potential tax control. Current fiscal supervisions are presented in Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
as for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. With the development of
franchise business, AmRest is getting exposed more to credit risk. Therefore the quality of the franchisees portfolio is a
key priority.
Risks of economic slowdowns
Economic slowdown in the countries where AmRest runs its restaurants may affect the level of consumption expenditure
in these markets, which in turn may affect the results of the AmRest restaurants operating in these markets.
Risk of system breakdowns and temporary breaks in serving customers in restaurants
Risk of systems failures and communication network failure, as well as the potential partial or complete loss of data in
connection with system breakdowns or damage or loss of key tangible fixed assets of the Group might result in temporary
interruptions in serving customers in restaurants, which might have an adverse effect on the Group’s financial results.
Cyberattack risk
The Group’s operations are supported by a wide variety of IT systems, including point-of-sale systems, electronic
ordering platforms, supply-chain management systems and finance and controlling tools. Consequently, the Group is
exposed to the risk of temporary operational disruption, data integrity risk and/or unauthorised access to confidential data,
which may be a result of cyberattacks.
Global crisis and disruption
The potential occurrence of global disasters, such as health epidemics, economic crises, energy crises, extreme weather
events, or other critical events creates a risk of disruption the Group’s business, industry and economies where the Group
operates and could impact the Group's day to day business concerns.
(all figures in EUR millions unless stated otherwise)

AMREST GROUP Director’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Adverse regulatory change or evolution
Failure to anticipate, identify and respond to new regulation that may result in fines, litigations and/or the loss of operating
licences or other restrictions.
Remaining factors outside the Group’s control
This risk is related to the effect of factors remaining outside the Group’s control on AmRest’s development strategy which
is based on opening new restaurants. Such factors include: opportunities for finding and securing available and
appropriate locations for restaurants, the ability to obtain the permits required by relevant bodies, the possibility of delays
in opening new restaurants.
Activity in Research and Development area
The Group wants to serve to its customers the highest quality products that are balanced in terms of taste and nutritional
composition. According to the business trends and customer needs, all brands operated by the Group have set up
departments focusing on new product development, as well as the improvement of the existing products.
Activities in this area include for example: market researches, the careful selection of ingredients and packaging, the
creation and preparation of new products, tastings followed by collection of customers feedbacks and, ultimately, the
launch of the final products.

In 2022 AmRest implemented its new Global Sustainability Strategy. The Company prioritized the initiatives and actions
that needed to be implemented or relaunched and set specific objectives. The strategy is based on global sustainability
standards (e.g. United Nations Sustainable Development Goals), benchmarks, and trends, and reflects the existing and
forthcoming legislation applying to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance).
The strategy consists of three pillars – Our Food, Our People and Our Environment – and applies to all AmRest
employees and executives across each brand operated by AmRest in every geography where the Company is present.

Responsibility for each pillar belongs to the respective members of the AmRest Management Team:

Chief Operations Officer (Our Environment)
The pillar owners are responsible for delivering the goals and KPIs set under the strategy and for reporting progress to
the Sustainability, Health and Safety Committee. AmRest Board of Directors is informed about the progress of the
sustainability strategy on a regular basis.
Members of the AmRest Management Team, including the Chief Executive Officer and global heads of key functions,
participate in dedicated sessions to oversee governance of the sustainability strategy.
Sustainability-related matters, as well as non-financial reporting, are coordinated globally by the External
Communications and Corporate Affairs department, whose head reports directly to the Executive Chairman of the
AmRest Board of Directors.
Risk management at AmRest
AmRest identifies, assesses, and monitors financial and non-financial risks to which the Group is exposed. The risk
management system, internal control system and operating effectiveness of these systems, are supervised by Global
Risk Owners in the Company, and the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. At the Management Team level, responsibility
lies with the Risk and Compliance Committee and at Board of Directors level, with the Audit and Risk Committee.
The AmRest Risk and Compliance Department is responsible for the risk management system and its operating
efficiency, so that risks which may prevent the execution of the long-term objectives of AmRest are identified and
managed. The Risk and Compliance Department is constantly analysing and reviewing risks to which the Group is
exposed.
The key responsibilities of the department include:
Promoting a culture of risk management, through appropriate communication, training and awareness building,
among all AmRest employees;
Periodically updating the risk catalogue and the risk map for the Group;
Overseeing the effective functioning of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) System, specifically to identify,
assess, respond to and report critical risks to which the Group is exposed, including emerging risks;
Fostering the implementation of efficient and complete risk response strategies to mitigate or reduce critical risks
to which the Group is exposed, within the risk appetite and tolerance levels approved by the Company;
Reporting to the Audit and Risk Committee on the performance, functioning, and operating effectiveness of the
Enterprise Risk Management system.
Risks are evaluated on a periodic basis and assessed for impact and likelihood. Their inherent risk is determined and
prioritized in the annual risk map for the Group.
For risks identified as critical, the Management defines response strategies and risk monitoring plans, with the
implementation of key risk indicators (KRI). This combines strategies for the risk monitoring, with the execution of control
activities, which are assessed for operating effectiveness on a periodic basis.
The trends in critical risks performance and the effectiveness of the control activities are reported on a regular basis to the
Risk and Compliance Committee and to the Audit and Risk Committee. When risks exceed the defined tolerance level,
action plans are implemented and monitored with Global Risk Owners and Global Risk Delegates.
The main current risks and threats related to sustainability-related matters have been summarized in this section. AmRest
reviews and improves its risk management and internal control systems on an on-going basis.

Safety Group Policy (implemented in 2022) and  has been approved by the Quality Assurance Departments. These apply
to all suppliers, contractors and third parties who provide ingredients, beverages, and packaging to all AmRest brands,
both owned and franchised.
A robust food safety culture is core to AmRest’s success. The Company develops skills, increases awareness and risk
management of all its Personnel through development programs and training. The Group is constantly working to

AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
Quality and food safety audits
Quality and food safety audits are conducted by experienced and independent auditors to ensure follow-up of food safety
procedures. The food safety audits are regularly run in each area of the AmRest supply chain: among suppliers, in
Central Kitchens, Distribution, Logistics, and in the restaurants.
All AmRest key suppliers are subject to audit schemes approved by the Quality Assurance Department (QA)
based on the suppliers’ risk assessment and/or provided by the franchisors. The audits are performed either by
third-party auditors who have been selected by the Food Safety & QA Department or by the franchisors, or by a
QA manager/team qualified as an auditor. 
Each distributor that delivers to AmRest restaurants is audited by a third-party expert that specializes in
distribution audit covering warehouses, cross-dock facilities, and transportation. The distribution audit focuses on
the evaluation of systems and procedures, as well as product and process controls during storage and the
distribution of food.
AmRest’s restaurants and coffee houses are meticulously inspected for food safety. Individual inspection
standards and schedules are applied across the different brands to account for their specific needs. All
inspections are unannounced and carried out by independent auditors.
All audit reports with results are uploaded to an online system and analysed. If the results are not satisfactory, a
Corrective Action Plan needs to be put in place. Development and implementation of corrective action plans are crucial
and mandatory for all incidents of non-compliance raised during an audit.
The total number of audits conducted in restaurants and among suppliers in 2022 was 7 903 (and 7 687 in 2021).

The Group has zero tolerance for any form of corruption, bribery, extortion, or kickbacks. AmRest employees
must never receive, accept, provide, or offer any payments or anything of value for the purpose of obtaining any
kind of benefit, advantage or undue consideration, when interacting with public officials or business partners.

AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
Data privacy
AmRest Group is an international company, headquartered in Spain, and is therefore directed by the European approach
to the protection of the Personal Data. The Company considers EU GDPR data protection legislation as comprehensive
and progressive and therefore uses it as a foundation for the whole Group, regardless of geographical location or
jurisdiction of the concerned entity. If any local jurisdiction outside the European Economic Area, where AmRest Group
processes personal data, has a more protective framework than the GDPR, then the local legislation prevails and
consequently the Group commits to incorporate relevant rules for this region.

initiatives which could improve the management of utilities, waste and other areas. In 2022 AmRest implemented 30+
performance-driven initiatives (in multiple countries).
Management of organic waste
Fighting against food waste is the most essential part of Our Environment pillar in the AmRest Global Sustainability
Strategy. As a restaurant company, AmRest aims to reduce food loss in every aspect of its operations. The Company has
been implementing programs aimed at saving food: Harvest (since 2016) and Too Good To Go (since 2018).

Waste recycling
The Group’s approach to waste management has been based on different legal requirements across individual countries
and was designed to meet the needs of store type and location (such as shopping malls, drive-throughs, and in-line
streets). Management of waste in specific categories is done in compliance with the relevant laws, standards, and good
practices, specific to that type of restaurant.
In 2022, AmRest developed Customer Packaging Policy and launched work on the Waste Management Policy.
The Customer Packaging Policy aim is to shift from a linear material model of extraction, use and disposal of customer
packaging towards a circular economy model. In the document AmRest states that all packaging must comply with local
and international regulations, as well as with franchisor's and industry standards. The document has been approved and
is now being implemented.
The purpose of the Waste Management Policy is to state and reinforce AmRest’s commitments to mitigate its impact on
the environment through sustainable management of waste generated in the supply chain and restaurants. It will set
specific requirements and goals to minimize waste by reducing the use of materials, reusing, and recycling whenever
possible and achieving the most efficient and environmentally friendly waste processing protocol.
Climate change
Climate change poses a global challenge that directly and indirectly impacts businesses worldwide. AmRest recognizes
the scientific evidence and as a responsible company, has been striving to minimize its impact on climate.

AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
Selected solutions implemented at AmRest to address climate change adaptation and mitigation:
Training program for restaurant crew about environment protection
Energy optimization audits to prevent energy “leaks”
Variable air volume system, to reduce unnecessary air flow (resulting in less air to be heated or cooled)
Heat recovery systems from the cooking hood (exhaust air)
Heat recovery systems from cooling and freezing installations (to pre-heat water)
Energy monitoring systems to optimize consumption
Photovoltaic installations in selected stores
Voltage optimisers in selected stores
Temperature management system to optimize the ambient temperature in the stores
On/off system to eliminate unnecessary operation of selected cooking equipment
AmRest is working on the development of BMS (Building Management System) to optimize energy consumption of its
most important equipment and installations. by remote supervision. The BMS will provide more functionality to the
currently used system (Media Readings). As of 31 December 2022 AmRest had more than 400 restaurants connected to
BMS.
The Company is monitoring its carbon footprint on an annual basis. In 2022 AmRest calculated its direct and indirect
emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2). 
Natural resource protection
The Group recognizes the importance of natural resource protection, and the water consumption at AmRest is strictly
monitored. However, since water is only used for meal preparation water consumption is not considered a crucial aspect
of AmRest’s environmental impact. The Group strives to make every effort to achieve greater efficiency, implementing
water-saving aerators and proximity sensors in newly built restaurants and coffee houses. 
Although the Group has no direct operations in protected areas, it has been working closely with its suppliers to ensure
the highest environmental standards across the whole supply chain regarding biodiversity protection.
AmRest Taxonomy disclosure
The EU Taxonomy, which entered into force on July 12, 2020, is one of the measures implemented by the European
Commission with the final goal of directing capital flows towards more sustainable activities and advancing the
achievement of the European Union towards its environmental and social targets.
Scope of the Analysis
The first part of the analysis is carried out with the final purpose of identifying the percentage of AmRest’s activities which
can be defined as “eligible” under the Taxonomy criteria. The list of potential activities that may satisfy the conditions
outlined in the Taxonomy Regulation have been retrieved from the data made available by the company itself. In practice,
the various subsidiaries of AmRest have published their annual report, to provide information about their level of turnover,
CapEx and OpEx.
To calculate the eligibility percentage of AmRest’s activities, one has to follow the directives outlined in Annex I of the
“COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021”.
The second part of the analysis consists in obtaining the percentage of AmRest's turnover, CapEx and Opex that is
"aligned" with the Taxonomy criteria (make a substantial contribution, do no significant harm and comply with minimum
guarantees).
For the sake of clarity the directives of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178  have been reported in the
following paragraphs.
Calculation of turnover %
The proportion of turnover referred to in Article 8(2), point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 shall be calculated as the part
of the net turnover derived from products or services, including intangibles, associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic
activities (numerator), divided by the net turnover (denominator) as defined in Article 2, point (5), of Directive 2013/34/EU.
The turnover shall cover the revenue recognised pursuant to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1, paragraph 82(a),
as adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008.
The Key Performance Indicator (KPI), referred to in the first subparagraph shall exclude from its numerator the part of the
net turnover derived from products and services associated with economic activities that have been adapted to climate
change in line with Article 11(1), point (a) of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and in accordance with Annex II to Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, unless those activities are either qualified as enabling activities in accordance with Article
11(1), point (b) of Regulation (EU) 2020/852; or are themselves Taxonomy-aligned.
In the case of AmRest, the turnover covers the revenue recognized pursuant to International Accounting Standard IAS 1.
In the first place, the numerator will include all revenues derived from products/services associated with economic
activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable. In the second place, the denominator will cover the total revenues
46
AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
presented in the Consolidated income statement for the year 2022. With regards to the denominator, its measure does
not differ from any Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) as defined in ESMA.
AmRest Group operates chains of own restaurants under own brands as well as under franchise license agreements.
Additionally, Group operates as a franchisor (for own brands) and master-franchisee (for some franchised brand), and
develops chains of franchisee businesses, organizing marketing activities for the brands, and supply chain.
Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the control of the goods or services is transferred to the
customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services.
AmRest Group has classified its activities in accordance with the criteria established by the most recent version of the
European taxonomy (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of the Commission of 6 July 2021), so that none of the
activities identified generate income for the Company. Therefore, the reference indicator relating to turnover takes on a
value of 0%.
Calculation of CapEx %
The proportion of CapEx referred to in Article 8(2), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 shall be calculated as in the
previous subsection by the means of a division between the numerator and the denominator.
However, there are some differences between the two approaches that must be highlighted.
On one hand, in this framework the denominator shall cover additions to tangible and intangible assets during the
financial year considered before depreciation, amortisation and any re-measurements, including those resulting from
revaluations and impairments, for the relevant financial year and excluding fair value changes. Furthermore, the
denominator shall cover additions to tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations.
References to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2022:
Intangible assets – note 15
Property, plant and equipment – note 13
Right-of-use assets – note 14
For non-financial undertakings applying international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as adopted by Regulation (EC)
No 1126/2008, CapEx shall cover costs that are accounted based on:
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, paragraphs 73, (e), point (i) and point (iii);
IAS 38 Intangible Assets, paragraph 118, (e), point (i);
IAS 40 Investment Property, paragraphs 76, points (a) and (b) (for the fair value model);
IAS 40 Investment Property, paragraph 79(d), points (i) and (ii) (for the cost model);
IAS 41 Agriculture, paragraph 50, points (b) and (e);
IFRS 16 Leases, paragraph 53, point (h).
For non-financial undertakings applying national generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CapEx shall cover the
costs accounted under the applicable GAAP that correspond to the costs included in the capital expenditure by non-
financial undertakings applying IFRS. Leases that do not lead to the recognition of a right-of-use over the asset shall not
be counted as CapEx.
As before, in this framework the denominator of CapEx KPI does not differ from any Alternative Performance Measures
(APMs) as defined in ESMA.
On the other hand, the numerator equals to the part of the capital expenditure included in the denominator that is any of
the following:
related to assets or processes that are associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic activities;
part of a plan to expand Taxonomy-aligned economic activities or to allow Taxonomy-eligible economic activities to
become Taxonomy-aligned (‘CapEx plan’) under the conditions specified in the second subparagraph of this point
1.1.2.2;
related to the purchase of output from Taxonomy-aligned economic activities and individual measures enabling the
target activities to become low-carbon or to lead to greenhouse gas reductions, notably activities listed in points 7.3 to
7.6 of Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act, as well as other economic activities listed in the delegated acts adopted
pursuant to Article 10(3), Article 11(3), Article 12(2), Article 13(2), Article 14(2) and Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU)
2020/852 and provided that such measures are implemented and operational within 18 months.
Calculation of OpEx %
The proportion of OpEx referred to in Article 8(2), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 shall be calculated again by
dividing the numerator with the denominator as specified in what follows.
In the first place, the denominator shall cover direct non-capitalised costs that relate to research and development,
building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the
day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the undertaking or third party to whom activities are
outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets, incurred during the
relevant financial year.
Only direct costs should be included. Consequently, AmRest will include in the denominator part of the Restaurant
expenses and Franchise as well as other expenses (lines above Gross Profit).
47
AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
Non-financial undertakings that apply national GAAP and are not capitalising right-of-use assets shall include lease costs
in the OpEx.
In the second place, the numerator equals to the part of the operating expenditure included in the denominator that is any
of the following:
related to assets or processes associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic activities, including training and other
human resources adaptation needs, and direct non-capitalised costs that represent research and development;
part of the CapEx plan to expand Taxonomy-aligned economic activities or allow Taxonomy-eligible economic activities
to become Taxonomy-aligned within a predefined timeframe as set out in the second paragraph of this point 1.1.3.2;
related to the purchase of output from Taxonomy-aligned economic activities and to individual measures enabling the
target activities to become low-carbon or to lead to greenhouse gas reductions as well as individual building renovation
measures as identified in the delegated acts adopted pursuant to Article 10(3), Article 11(3), Article 12(2), Article 13(2),
Article 14(2) or Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and provided that such measures are implemented and
operational within 18 months.

CapEx
The process that has been carried out to outline the specific CapEx activities that could be identified as “eligible” and then
“aligned” according to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 will be accurately described in the following
paragraphs.
First, an initial analysis was undertaken on AmRest's Enterprise Resource Planning extract (ERP extract) by an
independent sustainability advisory firm. The final goal was to detect those CapEx entries that could potentially fulfil the
eligibility criteria, mentioned above. In collaboration with various experts, in charge of different business units and
departments within AmRest, it was possible to consolidate a list of company expenses, retrieved directly from the CapEx
archives of 2022, that could be grouped as “eligible” under the Taxonomy Regulation criteria. According to the
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, the eligible activities within AmRest’s portfolio are the following:
Installation and operation of electric heat pumps;
Construction of new buildings;
Installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficient equipment;
Installation, maintenance and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy
performance of buildings;
Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies.
The data retrieved from the current analysis for the year 2022 present an interannual variation in comparison to the
eligible CapEx KPI of 2021. In practice, an additional type of activity has been included: Construction of new buildings.
AmRest’s team of experts has concluded that expenditures such as: (i) building architecture and construction; and (ii)
recycling of waste from construction, could not be overlooked in the eligibility analysis, regardless of their alignment
status.
Second, a transversal work team has established whether the list of eligible activities could be eventually regarded as
aligned to the Taxonomy Regulation directives. To do that, in the first place it is necessary to demonstrate whether the
eligible activities were complying with the specific “Technical Screening Criteria” laid out in the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. In the second place, in order to conclude the alignment evaluation, it is necessary to prove
48
AMREST GROUP Non-financial Information Statement
that the activities were not causing significant harm to the other objectives and that they were adhering to a series of
social safeguards. The alignment analysis, as already alluded in the introduction, has been conducted only in relationship
with the climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives. In this regard, AmRest has worked on assessing whether
their activities comply with these criteria and, in particular, to what extent their corporate processes are adequate to
assure compliance with such criteria. While making the cost calculations of the activities listed in the table, AmRest took
into account only the CapEx directly related to each one of these five activities. As a result, the risk of double counting
was eliminated. The data employed to assess the alignment status of AmRest’s activities has been retrieved from
technical manuals, interpersonal meetings, and expert consultations.
The results of this examination are shown in the underlying table, and disclose the level of eligibility and alignment in
percentage terms, of AmRest’s CapEx according to the criteria set out in the Taxonomy Regulation. These percentages
represent the proportion of AmRest’s investments that, simultaneously, make a positive, substantial contribution to at
least one of the two climate objectives currently provided in the Taxonomy (climate change mitigation and adaptation),
and have been proven not to cause a significant harm on the other EU environmental objectives and to comply with a
series of social safeguards. In this sense, the fact that there are eligible, non-aligned investments does not imply that
AmRest’s remaining internal activities are causing adverse impacts, but merely that, with regard to the climate objectives,
they do not make a significantly positive impact. AmRest is still working to determine its compliance with Taxonomy
criteria, both in an activity-by-activity level and in a corporate level.
As can be observed in the following table, after examining accurately AmRest’s CapEx, one can conclude that none of
the five activities considered eligible can be regarded as aligned to what prescribed in the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. Therefore, the alignment status of AmRest’s eligible activities results in an alignment CapEx
KPI equal to 0%.

In 2022 total operating expenses of AmRest Group excluding amortization and depreciation amounted to EUR 2 056.9
million and are described in the note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2022. Out of that amount,
EUR 41.7 million (2.0%) constitutes building renovation measures, short-term leases, maintenance and repair, and any
other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the
undertaking that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets incurred during the
relevant financial year (mainly direct maintenance expenses). In 2022, the taxonomy OpEx for AmRest was non-material
(under 5%) with respect to the total OpEx of the Group. Therefore, according to section 1.1.3.2 of Annex I of Delegated
Regulation of July 6th, AmRest only discloses the denominator. 2022 OpEx denominator: EUR 41.7 million.

Shareholders Meeting, held on 6 June 2018, concerning the authorisation granted to the Board of Directors for the derivative acquisition of
Company treasury shares, directly or through companies of the group and for the disposal of the same.
Grant express authorisation for the derivative acquisition of Company treasury shares, directly through the Company or through any of its
subsidiaries.
Approve the limits or requirements of these acquisitions, which will be as follows:
(i)  Methods of acquisition: by share purchase deed or by any other “inter vivos” transfer for valuable consideration.
(ii)  Maximum amount: That the nominal value of the shares acquired directly or indirectly, added to the value of those already held by the
Company and its subsidiaries, and, where applicable, the parent company and its subsidiaries, does not exceed, at any time, the permitted
legal maximum.
(iii)  Characteristics of the acquired shares: That the acquired shares are free of any charge or encumbrance, are fully disbursed and are not
affected by the fulfilment of any kind of obligation.
(iv)  Required reserve: That a restricted reserve, equivalent to the amount of the treasure shares reflected in the assets, may be provided in
the Company's equity. This reserve must be maintained as long as the shares are not sold or redeemed or there is a legislative
amendment authorising it.
(v)  Term: five (5) years from the date of approval of this resolution.
(vi)  Minimum and maximum price: The acquisition price must not be less than the nominal value or more than 20% of the listed price in both
cases at the time of the acquisition in question. The acquisition of treasury shares will be in accordance with the rules and practices of the
securities markets. All the above, without prejudice to the application of the general scheme of derivative acquisitions provided for in Article
146 of the current Companies Act.
It is expressly stated that the shares acquired as a result of this authorisation may be traded or redeemed, as well as applied to remuneration
schemes, plans or agreements, in effect at any time, by providing shares and stock options to members of the Board of Directors and to
management personnel of the Company or its Group. In addition, it is expressly authorised that the shares acquired by the Company or its
subsidiaries in the use of this authorisation, and those owned by the Company at the date of this General Meeting, may be allocated in whole
or in part to facilitate the fulfilment of these plans or agreements, as well as for the development of programmes that promote equity
participation in the Company, such as dividend reinvestment plans, loyalty bonds or other similar instruments.
The Board of Directors is also authorised to replace the powers delegated to it by this General Shareholders Meeting in relation to this
resolution, in favour of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Secretary or the Deputy Secretary of the Board."
In addition, a resolution was also passed at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to delegate the authority to the Board of Directors to increase
the company’s share capital, and to issue bonds, debentures and other fixed income securities convertible into shares, warrants or other
similar securities that may grant the right to the subscription of shares, as well as promissory notes and preference shares or debt instruments
of a similar nature, in turn delegating the authority to exclude the pre-emptive subscription right in these issued securities up to a limit of 20%
of the share capital, in accordance with the terms of the Spanish Capital Companies Act.

Pursuant to Article 19 of AmRest’s Articles of Association and Article 16 of the General Shareholders’ Meeting Regulation, where an ordinary or
extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting is arranged to discuss amendments to the Articles of Association, included increasing or reducing
the share capital, issuing bonds within the scope of its powers, cancelling or limiting shareholders’ preferential subscription rights over new
shares, transforming, merging, splitting off, globally assigning assets and liabilities, moving the registered office abroad or winding up of the
Company, shareholders representing at least 60% of the share capital subscribed with voting rights must be in attendance at the first call
(‘primera convocatoria’) for such meeting(s) to be considered valid.  At second call (‘segunda convocatoria’), at least 40% of the subscribed
capital with voting rights is required.
With regard the majorities required for amendments to the Articles of Association, Article 20 of AmRest’s Articles of Association and Article 26
of the General Shareholders’ Meeting Regulation refer to the terms set forth by law, i.e. at the first call, absolute majority where shareholders
representing at least 50% of the capital subscribed with voting rights are present. At second call, where shareholders representing less than
50% of the capital subscribed with voting rights are present, resolutions concerning amendments to the Articles of Association may only be
validly adopted with a favourable vote of two-thirds of the present or represented shared capital at the general shareholders’ meeting. 
Also, and in pursuance to section 286 of the Companies Act, if the Bylaws are amended, the Directors or, if appropriate, the shareholders who
made the proposal must draw up in full the text of their proposed amendment and a written report justifying the amendment, which must be
made available to the shareholders when the General Shareholders’ Meeting is called to deliberate on the amendment.
Furthermore, and pursuant to section 287 of the Companies Act, the notice calling the General Shareholders’ Meeting must clearly state the
items that might be amended, and note that all the shareholders are entitled to analyze the full text of the proposed amendment and the report
on such amendment at the registered offices, as well as to request such documents to be delivered or sent to them free of charge.
Pursuant to section 291 of the Companies Act, when new obligations are established for the shareholders due to an amendment of the Bylaws,
the resolution must be passed with the approval of the affected shareholders. Furthermore, if the amendment directly or indirectly affects a
type of shares, or part of them, the provisions of section 293 of such Act shall apply.
The procedure for voting on proposed resolutions at the General Shareholders’ Meeting is regulated in section 197 bis of the Companies Act
and in the internal regulations of AmRest (in particular, article 24 of the Regulations for the General Shareholders’ Meeting). This article states,
among other things, that when amendments are made to the Bylaws, each article or group of articles which is materially different will be voted
on separately.

73
AMREST GROUP Annual Corporate Governance Report of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
If the company does not apply a diversity policy, explain the reasons why
AmRest has a Diversity Policy in relation to the Board of Directors and the Selection of Directors, adapted to the applicable regulations and
the recommendations of the Good Governance Code of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
This Policy ensures that the procedures for selecting directors are based on a prior analysis of the skills required by the Board of Directors,
and favors thereof diversity of knowledge, training and professional experience, age and gender on the Board, free from any implicit bias that
might imply any form of discrimination, particularly on account of gender, disability or any other personal condition, and that facilitate the
selection of female directors in a number that allows the achievement of an equal balance of women and men.
In accordance with the provisions of said Policy and with the Regulations of the Board of Directors, and in accordance with the criteria applied
in practice by the Company, the selection of candidates to serve as a director at AmRest adheres to the following principles:
1. An effort is made to ensure that the Board of Directors has a balanced composition, with a large majority of non-executive directors and an
appropriate mix of proprietary and independent directors, while also endeavoring to ensure that independent directors have sufficient weight
within the Board of Directors.
2. The Board of Directors endeavors to ensure that the procedures for the selection of directors favor diversity of knowledge, training,
professional experience, age and gender, and are free from any implicit biases that might imply any form of discrimination. All of the foregoing
is in order for the Board of Directors to have an appropriate, diverse and balanced composition overall, which i) enriches analysis and debate,
ii) contributes multiple viewpoints and positions, iii) favors decision-making, iv) gives it maximum independence, and v) allows for compliance
with legal requirements and good governance recommendations in relation to composition and suitability required to be met by the members
of the Board of Directors. It shall also ensure that the candidates for director have sufficient available time to properly perform their duties.
3. The process for the selection of candidates to serve as directors is also based on a prior analysis of the skills required by the Board of
Directors. Such analysis is conducted by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the advice and with the required report or proposal, if
applicable, of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee.
4. In the case of re-election or ratification, the report or proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee
contains an evaluation of the work and effective dedication to the position for the most recent period of time during which the proposed
director has been in that position, as well as the director’s ability to continue to perform satisfactorily.
5. The required report or proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee is published upon the call to the
General Shareholders’ Meeting at which the appointment, ratification or re-election of each director is submitted.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee ensure, within the scope of
their respective powers, that the candidates chosen for the position of director are persons of recognized probity, competence and experience,
who are willing to devote the time and effort required for the performance of their duties.
Accordingly, all the candidates for the position of director shall be professionals of integrity, whose conduct and professional career is in line
with the principles set out in the Code of Business Conduct and with the criteria and values of the AmRest Group. 
Candidates for directors shall be considered in particular if they have training and professional experience in different fields of activity,
especially in economic-financial matters, consumer knowledge, ESG knowledge, marketing, technology, accounting, auditing and risk
management -both financial and non-financial-. 
Likewise, it should be noted that the same criteria and principles that the Company applies in the process of selection and appointment of the
members of the Board of Directors are applied in the appointment of the directors that are part of the different committees of the Board of
Directors of the Company.
The Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee verifies compliance with the Diversity Policy in relation to the Board
of Directors and the Selection of Directors on an annual basis, and information thereon is included in the Annual Corporate Governance
Report and in such other documents as are deemed appropriate.
During the year 2022, there have been no vacancies or appointments in the Board of Directors, considering that its current composition as a
whole is adequate for the best performance of its duties and for an effective and efficient management of the Company, and consequently, no
specific and concrete measures have been adopted in this regard. Likewise, in the re-elections of directors submitted for approval by the
General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2022, both the Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee have taken into consideration and applied criteria based on the coordination of the principles of representativeness,
diversity and independence; evaluated the functions performed and the dedication of the directors; ensuring the appropriate stability in the
composition of the Board and its committees; and preserving the experience, qualifications and knowledge of those who have been serving as
directors of the Company.
In any case, AmRest is firmly convinced that diversity in all its facets and at all levels of its professional team, is an essential factor in ensuring
the Company's competitiveness and an important element that favours a critical attitude, as well as members having different points of view
and positions.

C.1.6 Describe the measures, if any, agreed upon by the nomination committee to ensure that selection
procedures do not contain hidden biases which impede the selection of female directors and that the company
deliberately seeks and includes women who meet the target professional profile among potential candidates,
making it possible to achieve a balance between men and women. Also indicate whether these measures include
encouraging the company to have a significant number of female senior executives:
Explanation of measures
As already mentioned, Board members are selected and appointed based on the company’s needs and the skills required by the Board of
Directors itself. Thus, the Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee seek candidates
who bring a wealth of diverse knowledge, abilities, experience and profiles within the company, the search being based, essentially, on the
ability and professional merits of the candidates and on their showing conduct and a track record aligned with AmRest's values. Any male or
female who meets these requirements can be included in the selection process.
Specifically, with regard to gender diversity, the Diversity Policy in relation to the Board of Directors and the Selection of Directors establishes
that the Board of Directors, as far as possible and in the best interest of the Company, promotes the objective of the presence of female
directors, as well as measures that encourage the Company to have a significant number of female senior executives, taking into account the
recommendations of good governance in force at any given time, and without prejudice to the essential criteria of merit and ability that must
govern all personnel selection processes of the Company.
However, during the year 2022, no vacancy or appointment has occurred in the Board of Directors, nor, consequently, the incorporation of any
person that would allow increasing the balance of women and men in the Board.
If in spite of any measures adopted there are few or no female directors or senior managers, explain the reasons for this:
Explanation of reasons
At AmRest, the procedures for selecting directors have never suffered from implicit biases that hinder the selection of female directors. In this
regard, as regards the percentage represented by female directors with respect to the total number of members of the Board of Directors, to
point out the leap the Company has made in this area, having gone from 0.00% in 2018, to 28.57% in 2020. In fact, of the last three directors
appointed by the Company, two have been women.
Thus, in 2019, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously appointed, at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee, Ms. Romana Sadurska as an independent director. This appointment was ratified by the Ordinary General
Shareholders' Meeting held on June 10, 2020.
Likewise, in 2020, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously appointed, at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee, Ms. Mónica Cueva Díaz as an independent director. This appointment was ratified by the Ordinary
General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2021.
After the General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2021, there were no vacancies or appointments on the Board of Directors and,
consequently, the percentage of female directors has not increased.
On the other hand, as regards the number of women in senior management, in recent years there has been a significant restructuring in the
composition of the Company's senior management, thus affecting gender diversity. Due to the low turnover in senior management following
this restructuring, the number of senior managers has not increased during the year 2022.
In this context, one of the Company's objectives is to continue working to ensure that future selection processes for members of the Board of
Directors and senior management continue to favour gender diversity, thus becoming more plural as future vacancies arise to be filled with
new candidates.

C.1.7 Explain the conclusions of the nomination committee regarding verification of compliance with the policy
aimed at promoting an appropriate composition of the Board of Directors.
Within the framework of the Company's Director Selection Policy, the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, in
the year 2022, has reported favourably and/or proposed, as the case may be, the re-election of several AmRest directors by the Ordinary
General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, taking into consideration and applying criteria based on the coordination of the principles of
representativeness, diversity and independence; evaluating the functions performed and the dedication of the directors; ensuring the
appropriate stability in the composition of the Board and its committees; and preserving the experience, qualifications and knowledge of those
who have been serving as directors of the Company. All of the above, so that the Board of Directors has an appropriate and diverse
composition.
Thus, the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2022 approved the re-election of Mr. José Parés Gutiérrez, Mr. Luis
Miguel Álvarez Pérez, Mr. Carlos Fernández González and Mr. Pablo Castilla Reparaz.

December 14, 2022, including therein the Diversity Policy applicable to the Board of Directors and, consequently, renamed Diversity Policy in
relation to the Board of Directors and the Selection of Directors.
As mentioned above, following the General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2021, there were no vacancies or appointments to the
Board of Directors and, consequently, the percentage of female directors has not increased.

memberships as proprietary directors proposed by a company of the same group even if the stock held in the company, or the level of control,
may not qualify that company to be considered as part of the group.
Exceptionally, and provided there is just cause, the Board of Directors may exempt directors from this prohibition. In addition, directors shall
inform to the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee of any material changes to their professional situation and
any that may affect the nature or condition by virtue of which they have been appointed as a director.

C.1.15 Indicate whether the Board regulations were amended during the year:
Yes    X_  No _
Description of amendment(s)
The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on December 14, 2022, and at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee (which, as provided in article 4 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, prepared the respective Supporting
Report), approved the partial amendment of the Regulations of the Board of Directors of AmRest Holdings, SE.
The aforementioned amendment basically consisted of the following: i) adapt the Regulations to the recommendations of the Good
Governance Code that the Company already complies with and is currently complying with; ii) adapt it to the novelties introduced by Law
5/2021 of April 12, amending the revised text of the Capital Companies Act (Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010 of July 2) and other financial
regulations, with regard to the promotion of long-term shareholder involvement in listed companies, specifically with regard to the regulation of
related-party transactions; and iii) incorporate some complementary aspects or technical clarifications. Among other issues, the denomination
of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Sustainability, Health and
Safety Committee were updated, and new functions were adjusted and assigned to them.
Likewise, notice of the aforementioned amendment of the Regulations of the Board of Directors was given to the Spanish National Securities
Exchange Commission, and the amendment was registered with the Madrid Commercial Registry on February 7, 2023, registration number
47; it was also made available to the shareholders on the Company’s website. Such amendment will also be reported at the next General
Shareholders’ Meeting to be held.
C.1.16 Specify the procedures for selection, appointment, re-election and removal of directors. List the
competent bodies, steps to follow and criteria applied in each procedure.
Selection and Appointment
AmRest’s Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of five and a maximum of fifteen members, who
shall be appointed by the shareholders at the General Meeting.
Directors will exercise their office for a four-year term, and may be re-appointed for one or more additional periods of the same maximum
duration. Once the period has expired, the appointment will be terminated when the next General Shareholders’ Meeting is held, or when the
legal period for holding the Meeting that must approve the previous year’s annual accounts has elapsed.
If a vacancy arises during the term of appointment of the Directors, the Board may appoint a person by co-optation to fill that vacancy up to the
next General Shareholders’ Meeting. Directors appointed by co-optation may be ratified in their position at the first General Shareholders’
Meeting held after their appointment. If the vacancy arises after a General Shareholders’ Meeting is called but before it is held, the Board of
Directors may appoint a director to perform the corresponding duties until the next General Shareholders’ Meeting is held.
Otherwise, and in any event, the proposals for the appointment of directors must comply with the provisions of the Articles of Association and
the Board of Directors Regulations.
In this regard, and in accordance with the responsibilities assigned to the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee,
this Committee must evaluate the skills, knowledge and experience required on the Board of Directors, defining the functions and
competencies required of the candidates who must fill each vacancy, and evaluating the specific amount of time and dedication that will allow
them to perform their duties effectively.
Similarly, Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee must submit to the Board of Directors the proposals for the
appointment of independent directors, whether for their appointment on an interim basis or for their submission to a decision by the
shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting. Likewise, it must report on the proposals for the appointment of the remaining directors of
the Company, whether for their appointment on an interim basis or for their submission to a decision by the shareholders at the General
Shareholders’ Meeting.
The category of each director shall be explain by the Board of Directors at the General Shareholders’ Meeting at which the shareholders must
make or ratify their appointment. Furthermore, such category shall be reviewed annually by the Board, after verification by the Appointments,
Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, reporting thereon in the Annual Corporate Governance Report. 
The Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee shall ensure, within the scope of their
respective powers, that the candidates proposed for the position of director are persons of recognized probity, competence and experience,
who are willing to devote the time and effort required for the performance of their duties.
Likewise, the Board of Directors and the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee must endeavor to ensure that
the procedures for the selection of its members promote diversity with respect to issues such as age, gender, disability, knowledge, education
and professional experience, and are free from any implicit bias that might imply any form of discrimination, and, in particular, facilitate the
selection of female directors in such numbers as to achieve a balanced presence of women and men.
80
AMREST GROUP Annual Corporate Governance Report of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
In this regard, and as mentioned earlier, AmRest has a Diversity Policy in relation to the Board of Directors and the Selection of Directors,
adapted to the applicable regulations and the recommendations of the Good Governance Code of the National Securities Market Commission
(CNMV).
Re-election
The Company’s directors may be re-elected one or more times for periods of the same length as that of the initial period.
In the same way as proposals for appointments, proposals for the re-election of directors must be preceded by the corresponding report of the
Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, and, in the case of independent directors, by the corresponding
proposal.
In any case, and in the event of the re-election or ratification of Directors at the General Meeting, the report of the Appointments, Remuneration
and Corporate Governance Committee or, in the case of independent directors, the proposal of said committee, shall contain an assessment of
the work and effective dedication to the position during the last period of time in which it was held by the proposed director, in addition to
compliance with the Company's corporate governance rules. 
Cessation or Removal
Directors will be terminated from their position when: so decided by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, they notify the Company of their
resignation and at the expiration of the period for which they were appointed. The effective date of termination in this last case shall be the date
of the first General Shareholders’ Meeting.
The Board will not propose the removal of any independent director before the expiry of their tenure as mandated by the Articles of
Association, except when there is just cause, as determined by the Board after a report from the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee. In particular, just cause will be presumed to exist when: directors take up new posts or responsibilities that prevent
them from allocating sufficient time to their work as a Board member, are in breach of their fiduciary duties, or fall under one of the disqualifying
grounds for classification as independent established in the applicable legislation.
The removal of independent directors may also be proposed when a takeover bid, merger or similar corporate transaction alters the
Company’s capital structure, provided the changes to the structure of the Board of Directors promotes the proportionality criterion set out in the
good governance recommendations adopted by the Company.
When a director ceases to hold office before the end of his or her term, whether by resignation or by resolution of the General Meeting, the
director must adequately explain in a letter which will be sent to all members of the Board of Directors the reasons for leaving office or, in the
case of non-executive directors, the director’s views as to the grounds for removal by the shareholders acting at the General Meeting.
In addition, to the extent material to investors, the Company shall as soon as possible make public the cessation in office, including sufficient
information as to the reasons or circumstances stated by the director.
C.1.17 Explain to what extent the annual evaluation of the Board has given rise to significant changes in its
internal organisation and in the procedures applicable to its activities:
Description of amendment(s)
Once a year, all of the Company’s directors evaluate the performance of the Board of Directors of AmRest Holdings, SE and of its committees.
In relation to the assessment corresponding to the financial year 2021, the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance
Committee, at its meeting held on August 30, 2022, reviewed and analysed the results of the assessment of said financial year, carried out by
the Company's directors regarding the operation of the Board of Directors and its committees. In general terms, it was concluded that the
directors had expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the organization and activities of the aforementioned governing bodies, considering
them to be optimal and suitable as a whole.
However, as a result of this assessment, and in order to continue improving the functioning of the Company's corporate governance system,
certain areas for optimization were identified, in view of which, and after a detailed examination and analysis of the results achieved, the Board
of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee, established an Action Plan for the
implementation of certain suggestions and recommendations, related, among others, to continue working on the realization and
implementation of all training actions deemed appropriate; with the role and actions of the lead independent director; with the agenda of the
Board of Directors and the committees; with the advance availability of the documentation and information related to the matters to be
discussed at the meetings; and with the coordination of the committees among themselves.
Describe the evaluation process and the areas evaluated by the Board of Directors with or without the help of an external
advisor, regarding the functioning and composition of the Board and its committees and any other area or aspect that has
been evaluated.
81
AMREST GROUP Annual Corporate Governance Report of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Description of the evaluation process and areas evaluated
As already indicated, once a year, all of the Company’s directors evaluate the performance of the Board of Directors and of its committees. The
assessment for the financial year 2020 was carried out with the assistance of the external consultant Ernst & Young, S.L. (EY), and the
assessment for the 2021 financial year has been carried out internally by the Company, without the support of an external advisor.
Subsequently, the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and analyses the results of the assessment
carried out by the directors, identifying those areas that could be improved. After a detailed review and analysis of the results achieved, the
Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee proposes to the Board of Directors the implementation of the suggestions
and recommendations deemed appropriate.
Specifically, and with respect to financial year 2021, in July 2022, a questionnaire was made available to all the directors in order to carry out
the assessment process for that year.
The questionnaire contained a wide range of questions grouped under the following headings:
-The Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors: Composition, Function and Powers.
-Directors: Performance and contribution, expressly including the adequacy of the performance and contribution of: i) each director
on the Board of Directors and on the committees of the Board of Directors, ii) the Chairman of the Board, iii) the Chairmen of the
committees, and iv) the lead independent director. 
-Suggestions and comments.
As previously indicated, once the questionnaires were received and completed with the opinions and suggestions of all the directors, action
plans were established on those matters that were identified as susceptible to improvement.
The Board of Directors unanimously approved the improvement proposals made by the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee in order to continue optimizing the functioning of the Company's governing bodies.
C.1.18 Provide details, for years in which the evaluation was carried out with the help of an external advisor, of
the business relationships that the external advisor or company in its group maintains with the company or any
company in its group.
In 2022, the assessment of the Board of Directors was carried out internally by the Company, without the support of an external advisor.
C.1.19 Indicate the cases in which directors are obliged to resign.
Pursuant to Article 25 of the Articles of Association and Article 11 of the Board of Directors Regulation, the directors shall make their position
available to the Board and execute, where deemed appropriate, the relevant resignation in the following cases:
(a)When they cease to hold the executive positions to which their appointment as director was associated.
(b)When they are involved in any of the situations deemed to be incompatible or prohibited according to law.
(c)When they have committed a serious breach of their obligations as director.
(d)When remaining on the Board may endanger the company’s interests or negatively affect the company’s credibility and reputation.
(e)When the reasons for which they were appointed disappear (for example, when proprietary directors transfer or reduce their
shareholding in the company).

regulations.
Through the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board of Directors plays an essential role in supervising the preparation of the Company's financial
information.
In this context, and in accordance with Article 19 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for
the following, among other, duties:
(a)To report, through its Chair, to the General Shareholders’ Meeting on questions raised by the shareholders regarding matters within
its remit, and explain the audit’s results and how it contributed to the integrity of the financial information and the Audit and Risk
Committee’s role in this process.
(b)To oversee the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control system, the internal audit, and the risk management system (both
financial and non-financial) and discuss with the accounting auditor the significant weaknesses of the internal control system
revealed in the course of the audit, while maintaining its independence. For such purposes, the committee may, if appropriate,
submit recommendations or motions to the Board of Directors, with the relevant term for follow-up.
(c)To oversee and assess the preparation and presentation process and the integrity of the financial and non-financial information,
reviewing compliance with legal requirements, the proper determination of the scope of consolidation and the correct application of
accounting standards, and submit recommendations or motions to the Board of Directors for the purposes of safeguarding the
integrity of such financial information.
(d)To ensure that the annual accounts are prepared by the Board of Directors in accordance with the legal provisions on accounting.
However, in cases where the statutory auditor has included a qualification in its audit report, the Chair of the committee shall clearly
explain the content and scope thereof at the General Meeting. In addition, a summary of such explanation shall be made available to
the shareholders at the time of publication of the call to the General Meeting.
(e)Ensure that the auditor meets annually with the full Board of Directors to inform the Board of Directors of the work performed and on
the accounting status and the risks of the Company.
Moreover, in accordance with articles 8 and 9 of the Audit and Risk Committee Regulations, this Committee is responsible for the following,
among other, duties:
With regard to the preparation of the regulated financial information of the Company and its Group:
a)To oversee the process of preparation and submission and the clarity and integrity of the regulated financial information relating to
the Company and its Group, ensuring that the half-yearly financial reports and the quarterly management statements are drafted in
accordance with the same accounting standards as the annual financial reports and to oversee the review of the interim financial
statements requested from the auditor, with the scope and frequency that may be defined, as the case may be.
b)To review compliance with legal requirements, the proper delimitation of the scope of consolidation, and the correct application of
such generally accepted accounting principles and international financial reporting standards as may be applicable.
c)To submit recommendations or motions to the Board of Directors for the purposes of safeguarding the integrity of the financial
information.
d)To advice the Board of Directors on any significant change of accounting standard and of the significant risks on the balance sheet
and off-balance sheet.
With regard to the audit of the accounts of the Company and its Group:
To review the contents of the auditor’s reports and, where appropriate, of the reports on limited review of interim accounts, as well as

C.1.30 Indicate the specific mechanisms established by the company to safeguard the independence of the
external auditors, and any mechanisms to safeguard the independence of financial analysts, investment banks
and rating agencies, including how legal provisions have been implemented in practice.
With regard to the independence of the Company's external auditor, the Audit and Risk Committee, as part of its fundamental powers (Article
19 of the Board of Directors Regulations and Article 5 of the Audit and Risk Committee Regulations), has established and maintains the
appropriate relationships with the external auditors to receive information on those matters that may threaten their independence, to be
considered by the Committee, and any others related to the process of carrying out the audit, and, where appropriate, the authorization of
services other than those prohibited, in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable law, as well as other communications set forth in
audit legislation and audit regulations.
In any case, the Audit and Risk Committee annually receives the external auditor's declaration of independence with regard to the Company or
entities directly or indirectly related to it, as well as information on the additional services of any kind provided and the corresponding fees
received from these entities by the reported auditor, or the persons or entities related to him/her in accordance with the provisions of current
regulations.
Furthermore, the Committee issues, prior to issuing the audit report of the accounts, an annual report that expresses an opinion on whether
the independence of the external auditor has been compromised. This report states, in any case, the evaluation, with supporting evidence/
rationale, of the provision of each and every one of the additional services referred to in the previous paragraph, taken into account individually
and together, different to the statutory audit and in relation to the independence regime or the regulations governing account auditing.
In any event, the Audit and Risk Committee must preserve the independence of the external auditor in the performance of its duties, and in this
regard: (i) in the event of the resignation of the external auditor, examine the circumstances giving rise to such resignation; (ii) endeavor to
ensure that the compensation received by the external auditor for its work does not compromise the quality or independence thereof; (iii)
ensure that the Company communicates through the CNMV any change in auditor and attaches a statement regarding any disagreements with
the outgoing auditor and, if any, the substance thereof; (iv) ensure that the external auditor meets annually with the full Board of Directors to
inform the Board of Directors of the work performed and on the accounting status and the risks of the Company; and (v) ensure that the
Company and the external auditor applicable legal provisions regarding the provision of non-audit services, limits on the concentration of the
auditor’s business, and generally all other provisions regarding the independence of the auditors.
In addition, and in accordance with the Board of Directors Regulations (Article 19), the Company's Audit and Risk Committee puts forward
proposals to the Board of Directors for the selection, appointment, re-election and replacement of the external auditor, taking responsibility for
the selection process, as well as the terms and conditions of his/her contract, regularly obtaining information from the auditor on the audit plan
and the execution thereof, as well as preserving his/her independence in the exercise of his/her duties.
Furthermore, the external auditor has direct access to the Audit and Risk Committee, participating in some of its meetings, without the
presence of members of the Company's executive team when this is deemed necessary. In addition, the auditor shall hold an annual meeting
with the full Board of Directors to provide an update on the work carried out and the evolution of the Company´s accounting and risk situation.
Finally, and also in line with the legal requirements, contracting any service with the Company's external auditor must be approved beforehand
by the Audit and Risk Committee. Furthermore, this contracting of services, other than those of the audit itself, is carried out in strict
compliance with the Audit Act and European regulations. Likewise, the Company states in its Annual Report, in accordance with the legal
requirements in force, how much the Company's external auditor is paid, including those fees related to services of a different nature from
auditing.
Consequently, the Company has implemented, in practice, the legal provisions on this matter as indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

Details of the procedure
The Company adopts the measures that are necessary in order for the directors to have, whenever possible and sufficiently in advance, the
necessary information, which shall be drawn up and oriented specifically toward the preparation of the meetings of the Board and of its
committees.
In this regard, the Board of Directors and its committees shall draw up a calendar of the ordinary meetings to be held during the year. Such
calendar may be modified by resolution of the Board itself or of the corresponding committee, or pursuant to a decision by its Chairman, in
which case the modification must be disclosed to the Directors as soon as possible.
The Board and its committees also have an Action Plan (Agenda) that contains a detailed description and the frequency of the activities to be
carried out in each fiscal year, according to the powers and duties assigned to them.
Similarly, all of the meetings of the Board and of the committee have a pre-established agenda, which is communicated at least three working
days before the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be held, along with the call to the meeting. The Agenda for each meeting indicates
the items regarding which the Board of Directors must make a decision or adopt a resolution.
86
AMREST GROUP Annual Corporate Governance Report of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
With the same goal, in general, the documentation associated with the agenda for the meetings is made available to the directors sufficiently in
advance. In relation to this, the directors have a specific App from which they can easily access meeting documentation to prepare for
meetings.
Likewise, and in compliance with the provisions of article 14 of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors organizes the discussions, seeking and encouraging the active participation of all of the directors in the deliberations, safeguarding
the unconstrained statement of their viewpoints. Similarly, with the assistance of the Secretary and Vice Secretary , the Chairman ensures that
the directors receive beforehand sufficient information to deliberate on the items on the Agenda. He also ensures that sufficient time is devoted
to the discussion of strategic issues and stimulates debate during the meetings.
To facilitate the provision of all of the information and clarifications that may be necessary regarding some of the issues to be addressed, the
main officers of the Group attend essentially all of the meetings of the Board and of its committees, along with the speakers who are deemed
appropriate, for the presentation of matters lying within their purview.
Furthermore, and in general, the Board of Directors Regulations (article 25) sets forth the directors’ right to counsel and information, insofar as
they shall have access to all of the Company’s services and may, with the broadest powers, obtain any information and advice they may need
to perform their duties. This right to information is extended to the subsidiaries, in Spain or overseas, and shall be channeled through the
Chairman or Secretary of the Board of Directors. Said Chairman or Secretary will fulfil all requests from directors, by supplying the information
directly, putting the directors in touch with the appropriate persons, or taking such measures as may be necessary for the requested
examination.
Directors shall also be entitled to propose to the Board of Directors, by way of majority, the engagement, at the company's expense, of any
legal, accounting, technical, financial, commercial or other advisors as they may consider necessary for the Company’s interests in a bid to
assist them in the performance of their functions when facing specific, important or complex problems relating to their duties.
The proposal shall be communicated to the Chairman through the Secretary of the Board. The Board of Directors may withhold its approval if it
considers the engagement unnecessary for the performance of the commissioned duties, either in view of its cost (disproportionate to the
importance of the problem and the Company’s assets and revenues) or if it considers that the technical assistance requested could be
adequately given by experts and officers within the company.
Furthermore, the Company shall provide the necessary support so that new directors may acquire a rapid and sufficient knowledge of the
Company, as well as of its corporate governance rules, and may, for this purpose, establish orientation programs. Likewise, the Company shall
offer training and continuous refresher programs for directors when circumstances so require.
C.1.36 Indicate whether the company has established rules obliging directors to inform the Board of any
circumstances, whether or not related to their actions in the company itself, that might harm the company’s
standing and reputation, tendering their resignation where appropriate. If so, provide details:
Yes   X_    No _
Explain the rules
Pursuant to Article 25 of the Articles of Association and Article 11 of the Board of Directors Regulation, the directors shall make their position
available to the Board and execute, where deemed appropriate, the relevant resignation, when remaining on the Board may endanger the
company’s interests or negatively affect the company’s credibility or reputation.
In this regard, the directors must report to the Board of Directors any situation affecting them, whether or not related to their conduct within the
Company itself, that may adversely affect the credit or reputation thereof and, in particular, of any criminal cases in which they are under
investigation, as well as their procedural vicissitudes.
Having been notified or otherwise become aware of any of the circumstances mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Board of Directors
shall examine the case as soon as possible and, based on the specific circumstances, and after a report from the Appointments,
Remunerations and Corporate Governance Committee, shall decide, whether or not to take any action, such as opening an internal
investigation, requesting the resignation of the director or proposing his removal to the next General Shareholders' Meeting. Any such matter
shall be included in the annual corporate governance report unless special circumstances justify otherwise, which circumstances must
recorded in formal minutes. Those obligations shall be without prejudice to any information that the Company must disseminate at the time that
any such measures are adopted.
C.1.37 Indicate whether, apart from such special circumstances as may have arisen and been duly minuted, the
Board of Directors has been notified or has otherwise become aware of any situation affecting a director,

The procedure and competent bodies relating to the approval of transactions with related and intragroup parties are as established by Article

revised text of the Capital Companies Act and other financial regulations with regard to the promotion of long-term shareholder involvement in
listed companies (Law 5/2021). Specifically, the Board of Directors' Regulations were adapted to the amendments introduced by Law 5/2021 to
the regime of related-party transactions applicable to listed companies.
Following the aforementioned amendment, Article 6 the Board of Directors’ Regulations includes the following non-delegable powers of the
Board, among others:
The approval of related party transactions, after a report from the Audit and Risk Committee, of upon the terms set forth in Article 24 bis of

generally to a large number of customers, are carried out at generally established prices or rates, and the amount of which does not exceed
0.5% of the net revenue of the Company, determined in accordance with the calculation rules provided for by law.
In this regard, and in accordance with the provisions of article 24.1(a) of the Board of Directors' Regulations, the director must refrain from
carrying out transactions with the Company, except when they are part of the Company’s ordinary business, are carried out under normal
market conditions and are of little significance, with these being understood to be those involving information that is not required to express a
true image of the Company’s property, financial situation and results, except for those transactions that are approved by the Company upon
the terms set forth in the rules on related party transactions established by law, the Statute and these Regulations.
In addition, Article 24 bis of the Board of Directors' Regulations establishes the following with regard to the regime on related-party
transactions:
1.The Board of Directors, after a favourable report from the Audit and Risks Committee, shall approve transactions of the Company or
subsidiaries thereof with Directors, with shareholders owning 10% or more of the voting rights or represented on the Company’s Board of
Directors, or with any other persons who should be considered related parties as provided by law, provided that they are considered related-
party transactions under applicable law, and unless approval thereof is reserved to the shareholders acting at a General Shareholders’
Meeting. This power may not be delegated, except in the cases and upon the terms provided by law and Article 6 of these Regulations.

Committee shall participate, to verify the fairness and transparency of these transactions and, where appropriate, compliance with the
applicable legal standards. The approval of these transactions shall not require a prior report from the Audit and Risks Committee.
4.As regards related-party transactions for which approval is reserved to the shareholders at a General Shareholders’ Meeting, the
proposed resolution on approval adopted by the Board of Directors must be submitted to the shareholders at the General Shareholders’
Meeting along with a statement as to whether it has been approved by the Board of Directors with or without the dissenting vote of a majority
of the independent Directors.
Likewise, Article 19.4 (i) of the Board of Directors Regulations establishes, among the competencies of the Audit and Risks Committee, the
following:
To report on related-party transactions that must be approved by the shareholders acting at a General Shareholders’ Meeting or by the Board
of Directors and to supervise the internal process established by the Company for those transactions for which approval has been delegated
by the Board of Directors.
It should be noted that the Board of the Company has not delegated the approval of intragroup and related party transactions, so no specific
procedure of periodic control has been established in this regard.

The AmRest Group is subject to various risks in the different markets in which it does business. 
1.Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of incurring losses resulting from the inability to meet payment obligations in a timely manner when they
become due or from being unable to do so at a sustainable cost. The Group is exposed to the risk to a lack of financing at the moment of the

The market which remained affected by the pandemic was China where strict lockdowns were imposed in some areas during first quarter of
2022 and extended into the second quarter.
In September 2022, the head of WHO stated that the end of pandemic was in sight, yet the countries needed to remain vigilant and review
their policies to strengthen them for COVID 19 and future viruses. 
The  occurrence of potential new mutations or variants in coming months, and their potential impact on Group’s operations cannot be
predicted.
3.Dependency on the franchisor
AmRest manages KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks (in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia) as a franchisee, and therefore a
number of factors and decisions related to the business activities conducted by AmRest and the possibility of renewing or extending the
duration of the franchise agreements, depend on the conditions (including limitations or specifications) imposed by the franchisors or are
subject to their consent.
Therefore, in relation to the duration of those agreements, the renewal is not automatic and AmRest cannot guarantee that after the expiry of
the initial periods of duration of the franchise agreements, which are typically ten years, a given franchise agreement will be extended.
4.Dependency on cooperation with minority shareholders and Starbucks’ call option
AmRest operates Starbucks restaurants in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary based on partnership agreements with Starbucks Coffee
International, Inc. The partnerships establishes that Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. is the minority shareholder of companies operating
Starbucks stores in mentioned countries. Therefore, some decisions as part of the joint business activities are dependent on Starbucks’
consent.
If AmRest fails to comply with the obligation to open and run the minimum specified number of cafés, Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. has
the right to increase its share in these companies by acquiring shares from AmRest Sp. z o.o. at a price agreed between the parties based on
the valuation of the companies.
5.No exclusivity rights
International Franchise Agreements per se do not typically grant exclusivity rights to the franchisee in the relevant territories. In order to secure
exclusivity rights for a certain territory, franchisees aim to have either a master franchise agreement or a development agreement with the
franchisor. Currently, AmRest does not have master franchise agreements or development agreements in all territories and cannot secure that
it will have exclusivity on certain territories.

6.Risks related to the consumption of food products
Changes in consumer preferences arising from concerns over the nutritious properties of chicken, which is the main ingredient in the KFC
menu, or as a result of unfavourable information being circulated by the mass media concerning the quality of the products, could pose a threat
to the Group.
Furthermore, diseases caused by these (i.e. food poisoning) and damages to health as a result of eating in AmRest restaurants and
restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and Sushi Shop, and as a result of
revealing unfavourable data prepared by the government or a given market sector concerning the products served in AmRest restaurants and
restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and Sushi Shop, health-related issues
and issues related to the functioning patterns of one or more restaurants run both by AmRest and the competition could also pose a threat to
the Group.
-Food risks can result from a microbiological, chemical (formed during preparation like acrylamide e.g., burned meat, dark brown fried
French fries) or physical factors.
-Risks associated with new technologies - that alter the characteristics of the food, such as genetic modification or food irradiation, may
change the composition of the food, replacing an existing or traditional method of food production can also lead to a change in the levels
of a hazard, such as the levels of pathogenic microorganisms.
-Risks associated with allergenic foods - can range from mild to severe gastrointestinal effects, headaches, respiratory problems or skin
reactions to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.
-Food poisoning (e.g., by incautious storage and preparation of food, contaminated food, or water).
-Hormones or antibiotics in meat.
7.Risks related to key personnel turnover in the Group and increasing labour costs
AmRest´s success depends, to some extent, on the individual effort of selected employees and key members of management.
Excessive turnover of employees and too frequent changes in managerial positions may pose a significant risk to the stability and quality of the
business activities.
8.Risks related to limited access to foodstuffs and the variability of their cost
Increases in the cost of commodities, raw materials and goods can have an adverse impact on Group's operating profit margins.
AmRest´s situation is also affected by the need to ensure frequent deliveries of fresh agricultural products and foodstuffs and anticipating and
responding to changes in supplies costs. The Group cannot rule out the risk related to delivery shortage or interruptions caused by factors
such as unfavourable weather conditions, changes in legal regulations or withdrawing some foodstuffs from trading. Also the increased
demand for certain products accompanied by limited supply may lead to difficulties in obtaining these by the Group or to relevant price
increases. Both the shortages and product price increases may have an adverse effect on the Group‘s results, operations and financial
standing.
9.Risks related to opening restaurants in new countries
Opening or taking over restaurants operating in a new geographical and political area involves the risk of varying consumer preferences, a risk
of insufficient knowledge of the market, the risk of legal restrictions arising from local regulations and the political risk of these countries.
10.Currency risk
The results of AmRest are exposed to currency risk related to transactions and exchanges into currencies other than the currency in which
business transactions are measured in the individual Capital Group companies. The Group adjusts its currency portfolio of debt to the
geographical structure of its profile of activities.
11.Risks related to the current geopolitical situation
The Company conducts its business in countries where political climates are uncertain. Tensions around that subject may result in a negative
impact on economy, including unstable currency, interest rates, liquidity, supply chain disruptions and consumer confidence deterioration.
In 2022, the increased geopolitical risk, as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, weighed adversely on global economic conditions including
the markets where the Group operates.
The conflict has triggered turmoil in the financial markets around the world, and drastically increased uncertainty about the recovery of the
global economy, as reflected in the widespread deterioration of the consumer confidence indicators, which has impacted on financial and
commodity markets.
103
AMREST GROUP Annual Corporate Governance Report of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Despite the fact that the conflict has remained localized, it has had broad implications for economies across the world. While Russia and
Ukraine together represent a relatively small part of the world economy, they account for a large share of global energy exports, food staples
and agricultural inputs. As such, the main consequences to economies derived from the conflict are inflation, due to the increased price of
energy and non-energy commodities. The Group has been closely monitoring their potential impact on Group’s current and future operations.
All these events and uncertainty that accompanies them may have a significant impact on the Group’s operations and financial position, of
which the effect is difficult to predict.
The future economic and regulatory situation may differ from the Management’s expectations.
12.Risk of increased financial costs
AmRest and its subsidiaries are exposed to a certain extent to adverse impact of interest rate fluctuations in connection with obtaining
financing which bears floating interest rates and investing in assets bearing floating interest rates. The interest rates of bank loans and
borrowings and issued bonds are based on a combination of fixed and floating reference rates which are updated over periods shorter than
one year.
Additionally, AmRest and its subsidiaries may, as part of the interest rate hedging strategy, enter into derivative and other financial contracts,
where the valuation of which is significantly affected by the level of reference rates.
13.Increases in the cost of energy and utilities
Significant increase of energy pricing impacted cost side on most European markets. Impact which we offsetting by consumption reduction and
by adjusted purchasing strategies.
14.Tax risk
In the process of managing and executing strategic decisions, which may affect the tax settlements, AmRest could be exposed to tax risk. In
the event of irregularities occurring in tax settlements it would increase the dispute risk in the case of a potential tax control.
15.Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. With the development of franchise business,
AmRest is getting exposed more to credit risk. Therefore the quality of the franchisees portfolio is a key priority.
16.Risks of economic slowdowns
Economic slowdown in the countries where AmRest runs its restaurants may affect the level of consumption expenditure in these markets,
which in turn may affect the results of the AmRest restaurants operating in these markets.
17.Risk of system breakdowns and temporary breaks in serving customers in restaurants
Risk of systems failures and communication network failure, as well as the potential partial or complete loss of data in connection with system
breakdowns or damage or loss of key tangible fixed assets of the Group might result in temporary interruptions in serving customers in
restaurants, which might have an adverse effect on the Group’s financial results.
18.Cyberattack risk
The Group’s operations are supported by a wide variety of IT systems, including point-of-sale systems, electronic ordering platforms, supply-
chain management systems and finance and controlling tools. Consequently, the Group is exposed to the risk of temporary operational
disruption, data integrity risk and/or unauthorised access to confidential data, which may be a result of cyberattacks.
19.Global crisis and disruption
The potential occurrence of global disasters, such as health epidemics, economic crises, energy crises, extreme weather events,
or other critical events creates a risk of disruption the Group’s business, industry and economies where the Group operates and could impact
the Group's day to day business concerns.
20.Adverse regulatory change or evolution
Failure to anticipate, identify and respond to new regulation that may result in fines, litigations and/or the loss of operating licences or other
restrictions.
21.Remaining factors outside the Group’s control
This risk is related to the effect of factors remaining outside the Group’s control on AmRest’s development strategy which is based on opening
new restaurants. Such factors include: opportunities for finding and securing available and appropriate locations for restaurants, the ability to
obtain the permits required by relevant bodies, the possibility of delays in opening new restaurants.

E.4 Indicate whether the entity has risk tolerance levels, including for tax risk.
The Global Risk and Compliance Department is responsible for the regular updating of AmRest Risk Map, incorporating the risks to which the
Group is exposed in the form of a chart, in which the impact of the risk materialization, and the likelihood of the risk materialization are
captured.
The objectives of the AmRest Risk Map are:
Collect comprehensive and structured information about risks at AmRest Group (identification).
Perform risk prioritization of the identified risks (assessment).
Have an updated and integrated risk map for AmRest Group.
In line with the 3-line of defense risks management framework, both risk owners and risk delegates are accountable for risk identification and
risk response strategies development. Risk identified are assessed within the process system and risk map is documented.
The Risk Map is communicated to the AmRest Risk and Compliance Committee and to the Audit and Risk Committee for review and
overseeing adequate action plans addressing identified risks.
The AmRest Risk structure includes a 3-level risk classification system:
The first level (main categories of risks) is divided into 5 areas:
-Governance
-Strategy & Planning
-Operations & Infrastructure
-Compliance
-Reporting
The second level includes risk categories.
The third level contains specific risks.
The risks are evaluated by using the consistent parameters: impact (refers to the extent a risk event might affect the Group and measured as a
% of EBITA), and likelihood (represents the probability that a given event will occur, is measured as a % materialization possibility).
The Group identifies and assesses risks that may impact the achievement of the entity’s strategy and business objectives, by monitoring key
risk indicators to gauge behavior and exposure, providing early warnings which are then combined with strategies of acceptance, reduction or
mitigation measures.
The Group has further developed control activities for the risks in the processes with the aim to mitigate the exposure to the risk
materialization, either reducing its likelihood or minimizing its impact.
Risks are prioritized according to their severity and considering the entity’s risk appetite. The organization then selects risk responses and
monitors performance for change. The organization determines a portfolio view of the amount of risk the entity has assumed in the pursuit of its
strategy and business objectives.
E.5 Indicate which risks, including tax risks, have materialised during the year.
Increase in the cost of commodities, raw material and goods
Increases in the cost of commodities, raw materials and goods can have an adverse impact on Group's operating profit margins. In order to
mitigate these risks, the Group has implemented sourcing strategies, from Value Added Programs and value engineering initiatives to avoid
price increase, offsetting can be done also by consumption reduction and by adjusted purchasing strategies (short term – long term price
fixing, spot pricing etc.), periodical tender procedures, and established preventative controls to monitor deviations in actual expenditure,
monitoring of pricing trends, and active review of tender processes. The Group will continue to keep long term relationship with suppliers and
keep right portfolio of the producers.
Price increases had already significant impact throughout the 2022, however we still expect big inflation pressure on “labor intensive” services
(IT, Digital area, etc.).
Risk related to coronavirus and its implication for the economy and society.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a particularly negative impact on the restaurants sectors. The ban or significant limitations in operation of
restaurants resulted in a decrease in business activity and customer demand.
Some other risks related to the activity of the Company materialized during the year . None of these risks had a relevant impact on the AmRest
business since the measures for their prevention and/or mitigation worked properly.

F.2  ASSESSMENT OF RISKS IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
Report on at least the following:
F.2.1 The main characteristics of the risk identification process, including risks of error and fraud, as regards:
Whether the process exists and is documented.
AmRest Group's risk identification and assessment is an internal process, defined by Global Risk Management Policy adopted by the
Company and cascaded to all subsidiaries within the Group.
Per this policy, process is carried out by:
Board of Directors and Audit and Risk Committee (oversight  the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management system).
Top Management (promoting risk management culture).
Risk Owners (Identifying current risks, conducting risk assessment and keeping the risk map updated, defining and executing risk
response strategies to mitigate risks).
Risk and Compliance Committee (fostering the implementation of efficient and complete risk response strategies).
Risk and Compliance Department (coordinating, promoting and supervising risk management process).
Internal Audit and Internal Control Department (evaluating risk management, internal controls and corporate governance and
providing recommendations).
Employees and Co-workers (complying with Global Risk Management Policy and procedures).
Section E.4 of this report indicates the risk classification system, which takes into account different categories of risks. Its scope includes also
risks directly related to the preparation of the Group’s financial information.
In relation to reporting of financial information the Group additionally ensures the existence of specific controls covering the potential risk of
error or fraud in the issuance of the financial information, i.e., potential errors in terms of: the existence of the assets, liabilities and transactions
as of the corresponding date and reporting period; proper and timely recognition and correct measurement of its assets, liabilities and
transactions; the correct application of the accounting rules and standards; and adequate disclosures.
These controls are applied dynamically and updated continually to reflect the reality of the Group’s business as it evolves.
Whether the process covers all the objectives of financial reporting, (existence and occurrence;
completeness; valuation; presentation; disclosure and comparability; and rights and obligations),
whether it is updated and if so how often.
Identification of risks is carried out for each process identified as relevant, based on the objectives of the financial reporting: existence and
occurrence, completeness, valuation, presentation, breakdown and comparability, and rights and obligations.
The existence of a process for identifying the scope of consolidation, taking into account, among other
factors, the possible existence of complex corporate structures or special purpose vehicles.
In the process of identifying the consolidation scope, the Group Controller (Head of Corporate Finance and Reporting Department), regularly
updates the consolidation scope, verifying all changes (additions and removals) in the Group structure. Any changes within the scope of
consolidation are subject to Audit and Risk Committee approval.
Whether the process takes into account the effects of other types of risk (operational, technological,
financial, legal, tax, reputational, environmental, etc,) to the extent that they affect the financial
statements.
The process of identifying risks leading to errors in the financial reporting takes into account also qualitative factors, together with other types
of risk (like operational, financial, strategic, regarding regulatory compliance) as they ultimately affect the financial statements.

for the financial reporting period for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Group Accounting Department also follows documented procedures for preparing consolidated financial information (provided in section
F.4.2).
The Group Accounting Department reviews the key judgments, estimates, valuations and forecasts to identify critical accounting policies that
require the use of estimates and value judgments. The most relevant are dealt with by the Audit and Risk Committee. Senior management
determines the presentation format of the financial statements prior to approval by the Board.

Per Group’s methodology, any new software developments and any updates of existing IT solutions go through 3 phases, i.e. design,
development, and test before final implementation to the productive environment, which guarantees that financial information is handled
reliably.
The Group have taken necessary steps to ensure on-going performance of key functions in the event of disasters or other events that could
halt or interrupt business operations. These steps constitute specific initiatives mitigating the scale and severity of IT incidents and ensuring
that operations are up and running again as quickly and with as little damage as possible. The Group has highly automated back-up systems

or its part is outsourced to an independent party, the same set of policies and procedures applicable for internal reporting purposes is put in
place for the external contractor, to ensure coverage of the risks associated with such outsourcing. The Group puts in place service level

such changes in the structure of the Board are the result of application of the proportionate representation
criterion provided in Recommendation 16.

Furthermore, when the Board of Directors makes significant or repeated decisions about which the director has
serious reservations, the director should draw the appropriate conclusions and, in the event the director decides

D. OTHER INFORMATION OF INTEREST .............................................................................................................................................................................
A.REMUNERATION POLICY OF THE COMPANY FOR THE CURRENT
FINANCIAL YEAR
A.1.1 Explain the current director remuneration policy applicable to the year in progress, To the extent that it is
relevant, certain information may be included in relation to the remuneration policy approved by the General
Shareholders’ Meeting, provided that these references are clear, specific and concrete.
Such specific determinations for the current year as the board may have made in accordance with the contracts
signed with the executive directors and with the remuneration policy approved by the General Shareholders’
Meeting must be described, as regards directors' remuneration both in their capacity as such and for executive
functions carried out.
In any case, the following aspects must be reported, as a minimum:
a)Description of the procedures and company bodies involved in determining, approving and applying the
remuneration policy and its terms and conditions.
b)Indicate and, where applicable, explain whether comparable companies have been taken into account in order to
establish the company's remuneration policy.
c)Information on whether any external advisors took part in this process and, if so, their identity.
d)Procedures set forth in the current remuneration policy for directors in order to apply temporary exceptions to the
policy, conditions under which those exceptions can be used and components that may be subject to exceptions
according to the policy.
The Board of Directors of AmRest Holdings, SE (the "Company"), at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee, drew up the "Remuneration Policy for Directors 2022-2025" (the "Policy") for subsequent
approval by the General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2022.
The main purpose of the AmRest Remuneration Policy for Directors is to contribute to the development of the values, mission
and vision of the AmRest Group, so that the remuneration corresponding to the members of the Company's governing body
is appropriate to the achievement of the objectives and duties that concern the directors. The Remuneration Policy
contributes to the Company's business strategy, interests and long-term sustainability, with the objective of creating
shareholder value in a sustainable way over time, incorporating the necessary precautions to avoid excessive risk-taking and
the rewarding of unfavourable results.
In this context, the basic principles that inspire the Remuneration Policy to achieve this contribution to the Company's
strategy, interests and long-term sustainability are as follows:
-Assess the dedication, qualification and responsibility required for the office, seeking moderation and in any case
relating to the remuneration that is paid in the market in comparable companies, so that they align with best market
practices.
-The remuneration of external directors, and in particular independent directors, will be as necessary to correspond to the
effective dedication, qualification and responsibility required by the office, but not so high as to compromise their
independence in judgement.
-Maintain a balance between the interests of the directors and shareholders and, in particular, align the policy with the
Company's values, the maximization of the company dividend and profitability for shareholders.
-Ensure that the remuneration system promotes the achievement of the strategic objectives established by the Company
and its Group.
-Ensure commitment to the principle of full transparency of the Company's Remuneration Policy by providing timely,
sufficient and clear information in line with applicable regulations and corporate governance recommendations, as
recognized in international markets for the remuneration of directors.
Likewise, in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy and in determining the remuneration scheme and the other terms
and conditions of directors' remuneration, the Board of Directors has paid special attention to the remuneration and
employment terms of the Company's employees, to the extent that directors shall not be granted any remuneration concept
that is not similar to that which other employees of the Company may have.
In this sense, the Remuneration Policy is aligned with that of the other employees and executives of the Company, with
regard to the principles that inspire it, such as, among others:
(i) remuneration equity: ensuring non-discrimination on grounds of gender, age, culture, religion or race in the application of
remuneration practices and policies. In this regard, AmRest professionals, including employees, executives and directors, are
paid in a manner consistent with the level of responsibility, leadership and performance within the organization, favoring the
retention of key professionals and the attraction of the best talent;
(ii) proportionality and risk management: remuneration levels are appropriate to the importance of the Company, its current
economic situation and market standards in comparable sectors and companies. In addition, provisions to mitigate
inappropriate risk-taking are included; and
129
AMREST GROUP Annual Report on Director's Remuneration of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
(iii) values: the Remuneration Policy is designed to attract and retain the best professionals and to motivate a high
performance culture.
Furthermore, in preparing the Remuneration Policy, the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee
and the Board of Directors have taken into account the pay schemes of comparable companies, and no external advisors have
participated in the preparation of the policy.
Moreover, regarding the procedures and company bodies involved in determining, approving and applying the remuneration
policy:
General Shareholders’ Meeting: It approves the Remuneration Policy at least every three years as a separate item on the
agenda. Likewise, it approves the maximum amount of the annual remuneration for all the directors in their positions as such.
It has an advisory vote on the Annual Report about the directors’ remuneration, detailing the remuneration accrued during the
last financial year.
Board of Directors: In accordance with the Regulations of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board is responsible for
determining the remuneration of directors for the performance of their duties, including those within the statutory framework,
the Remuneration Policy of the directors, and the ceiling set by the General Shareholders’ Meeting,  as well as for setting up
the remuneration package of the executive directors for the performance of their executive duties, within the statutory
framework and the Remuneration Policy, and approve the remaining terms and conditions of their contracts.
Appointment, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee: In accordance with the Regulations of the Board of
Directors, this Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board the Remuneration Policy for directors, as well as the
individual remuneration and other contractual conditions of the executive directors, ensuring also their observance. Likewise,
the Appointment and Remuneration Committee is responsible for analysing and periodically reviewing the remuneration policy
applied to the directors; checking the compliance with the remuneration policy established by the Company; and verifying the
information on the remuneration for directors.
Structure of remuneration for directors in their capacity as such
The Board members will receive, as such, statutory remuneration whose maximum annual amount for the entire Board of
Directors is determined by the General Meeting and is updated according to the rates or magnitudes that the Meeting itself
defines. The maximum remuneration of the directors in their capacity as such is set, as a whole, at EUR 1,500,000.
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining the distribution among its members of the maximum amount of
remuneration. The distribution may be made on an individual basis, taking into account the duties and responsibilities assigned
to each director, membership in Board committees, and any other objective circumstances deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors.
Remuneration for directors is made up of the following items: (i) a fixed amount; and (ii) allowances for effective attendance at
Board meetings and at its delegated or advisory committees. The fixed amount is, quantitatively, the main item of remuneration
for directors.
-Annual fixed remuneration for participation in the Board of Directors
The maximum amount of the annual fixed remuneration for this item is EUR 82,500 per director annually.
Any remuneration that a director may receive in cash or in kind from the Company or its Group as an employee will be
deducted from this amount, with the understanding that this discount will not apply to what is received as executive director.
-Fixed annual remuneration for participation in the Board Committees
In addition to the remuneration provided in section above, Independent Directors will receive an additional annual remuneration
of EUR 27,500 for their membership in the Executive Committee or in any of the committees delegated by the Board
(regardless of the number of committees of which the independent director is a member).
-Allowances
The directors, in their capacity as such, may receive allowances for attendance at each of the Board and committee meetings
they actually attend. The annual amount of the allowance for attendance will depend on the number of meetings actually held
and the number of directors attending these meetings.
Currently, the directors do not receive, and are not expected to receive, allowances for attending the meetings of the Board of
Directors and the committees they attend.
-Coverage of risk and liability benefits
The Company may pay the amount of the premiums corresponding to the insurance policies contracted by the Company with
different insurers to cover the death and disability benefits of directors due to accident or natural causes, as well as contracting
a liability insurance for all its directors under the usual market conditions and proportionate to the circumstances of the
Company itself.
-Expenses associated with Board and Committee meetings
Expenses associated with travel and stays for attendance at Board and Committee meetings will be covered directly by the
Company and/or reimbursed to the directors, provided that these expenses have been previously notified to the Company and
accepted by it and are duly justified.
130
AMREST GROUP Annual Report on Director's Remuneration of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Other than the remuneration indicated in the preceding sections and without prejudice to the provisions of the following section
for executive directors, directors will not be entitled to receive any other remuneration from the Company or its Group,
regardless of its concept.
Structure of the remuneration for executive directors for the performance of executive duties
In addition to what they may receive as directors in their capacity as such, executive directors may receive, for the
performance of the executive duties delegated or entrusted to them by the Board, remuneration as determined by the Board
itself.
The basic principles governing the remuneration of executive directors are as follows:
-Ensure that remuneration, in terms of its overall structure and size, complies with market best practices and is competitive
in relation to comparable companies.
-Establish objective criteria for the calculation of the individual remuneration of each executive director, taking into account
individual performance and the achievement of the Company's business objectives.
-Maintain commitment to the values pursued by the Company and the Group, including corporate and personal ethics,
meritocracy and conciliation, so as to retain the best talent.
The remunerative items that make up the remuneration of the executive directors, as well as the basic terms for the
performance of his duties, must be included in a contract signed with these directors. This contract must be approved in
advance by the Board with the favourable vote of two-thirds of its members, at which time, the director in question must
abstain from voting and deliberation.
Remuneration of executive directors may consist of fixed salaries; compensation for termination of the director office for
reasons other than failure to perform his duties; pensions; insurance; social security systems and retirement plans; or other
remuneration in kind.
-Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration for executive directors will vary according to the responsibility assumed and the characteristics of the
duties performed by the director, which will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Appointment,
Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committee.
Fixed remuneration for executive directors may not exceed EUR 500,000 per year. This figure may be increased during the
Policy's period of validity, in accordance with the AmRest Group general salary update rules, which may not exceed 10% per
year.
-Variable remuneration
Executive directors of the Company will not receive variable remuneration, nor will they form part of remuneration plans
through shares or linked to the share price of the Company.
-Remuneration for the performance of the office of director or other duties in other companies of the Group
Executive directors may receive additional remuneration for the provision of services to other companies of the Group,
although the overall amount of remuneration to be received may not exceed the maximum limits set out in this policy.
-Health-care benefits and other remuneration in kind
The remuneration system for executive directors may be complemented by health and life insurance contracted by the
Company, in line with the practice followed in the market by comparable companies. Also, executive directors may be paid with
other remuneration in kind, such as rental of vehicles, garage spaces, housing, travel expenses, travel allowances, coverage
of transfer expenses, including transfer to a location abroad, and other social benefits generally applicable to the executives of
the Company. This will be decided by the Board of Directors at the proposal of the Appointment, Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee.
The relative proportion of health-care benefits and other remuneration to fixed remuneration, will be 20%, unless the executive
director receives no fixed remuneration for the performance of executive duties, in which case, the limit on the value of the
health-care benefits and other remuneration will be the same as provided for the fixed remuneration.
It should be noted that, of all the above concepts, the only executive director of the Company only receives, in addition to the
fixed annual remuneration for his participation in the Board of Directors (82,500 euros per year), an annual remuneration
package amounting to 72,000 euros net (120,000 euros gross).
Finally, the Remuneration Policy does not set forth any procedures in order to apply temporary exceptions or any component
that may be subject to exception.

such remuneration has been based on figures that have since been clearly shown to be inaccurate.

attend.

but not limited to, insurance premiums paid in favour of the director.

conditions for this type of insurance.

terms, Financial and non-financial, including social, environmental and climate change parameters selected to
determine variable remuneration for the current year, explaining the extent to which these parameters are related

As indicated above, the Remuneration Policy for Directors of AmRest Holdings, SE does not provide for variable remuneration
items, neither in the remuneration for directors in their capacity as such, nor in that of executive directors for the performance
of executive duties.
A.1.7 Main characteristics of long-term savings schemes, Among other information, indicate the contingencies
covered by the scheme, whether it is a defined contribution or a defined benefit scheme, the annual contribution
that has to be made to defined contribution schemes, the benefits to which directors are entitled in the case of
defined benefit schemes, the vesting conditions of the economic rights of directors and their compatibility with
any other type of payment or indemnification for early termination or dismissal, or deriving from the termination
of the contractual relationship, in the terms provided, between the company and the director.
Indicate whether the accrual or vesting of any of the long-term savings plans is linked to the attainment of
certain objectives or parameters relating to the director's short- or long-term performance.
The Company's directors do not participate in long-term savings schemes.
A.1.8 Any type of payment or indemnification for early termination or dismissal, or deriving from the termination
of the contractual relationship, in the terms provided, between the company and the director, whether at the
company's or the director's initiative, as well as any type of agreement reached, such as exclusivity, post-
contractual non-competition, minimum contract term or loyalty, that entitles the director to any kind of
remuneration.
There is no provision for any type of payment or indemnification to directors in these cases.
A.1.9 Indicate the conditions that the contracts of executive directors performing senior management functions
should contain, Among other things, information must be provided on the duration, limits on amounts of
indemnification, minimum contract term clauses, notice periods and payment in lieu of these notice periods, and

termination of the contractual relationship between the company and the executive director, Include, among
others, the pacts or agreement on non-competition, exclusivity, minimum contract terms and loyalty, and post-
contractual non-competition, unless these have been explained in the previous section.
The contract of the current Executive Director is for an indefinite duration, it does not provide indemnification or permanence
clause.
The contract does not establish a specific notice period for its termination, which may take place through unilateral resolution
by either party, mutual agreement or by decision of either party in the event of non-compliance by the other, leaving safe, in
this case, the claim that for damages may correspond to the other party.
Likewise, the contract does not foresee clauses relating to hiring bonuses, indemnities or shields for early resolution or
termination of the contractual relationship between the company and the executive director, nor pacts or agreements of non-
competition, exclusivity, permanence or loyalty and post-contractual non-competition.
Finally, the contract provides a standard confidentiality clause.

133
AMREST GROUP Annual Report on Director's Remuneration of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
A.1.11 Other items of remuneration such as any deriving from the company's granting the director advances,
loans or guarantees or any other remuneration.
As of the date of this report, no advance payments, loans or guarantees are expected to be granted by the Company to the
directors.
A.1.12 The nature and estimated amount of any other planned supplementary remuneration to be accrued by
directors in the current year that is not included in the foregoing sections, whether paid by the company or by
another group company.
As of the date of this report, no supplementary remuneration not included in the foregoing sections is foreseen to be paid by
the Company or by another Group company to the directors.
A.2 Explain any significant change in the remuneration policy applicable in the current year resulting from:
a)A new policy or an amendment to a policy already approved by the General Meeting.
b)Significant changes in the specific determinations established by the board for the current year regarding the
remuneration policy in force with respect to those applied in the previous year.
c)Proposals that the Board of Directors has agreed to submit to the general shareholders’ meeting to which this
annual report will be submitted and for which it is proposed that they be applicable to the current year.
As already indicated, the Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments, Remuneration and Corporate Governance
Committee, submitted the current Remuneration Policy for approval at the 2022 General Shareholders' Meeting, which came
into force on the date of the General Shareholders' Meeting (May 12, 2022) and will remain in force until December 31, 2025,
unless the General Shareholders' Meeting decides to amend or replace it during this period.
The current Remuneration Policy follows the lines established in the previous remuneration policies for directors,
introducing the necessary amendments due to the entry into force of Spanish Law 5/2021, of 12 April, which incorporated
important changes in matters of remuneration of the Board members of listed companies. In view of this amendment and in
accordance with the new wording of Article 529 novodecies of the Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), it was
considered appropriate and necessary to take advantage of the approval of a new Remuneration Policy to introduce the
legislative amendments approved under that Act, in line with the objective of constant updating and revision of the Company's
corporate governance system, so as to align it with the best practices of corporate governance.
Likewise, it was also considered desirable to update the remuneration of non-executive directors in the new Policy.
The previous AmRest Remuneration Policy for directors provided for non-executive directors the remuneration that had
remained unchanged since 2017, except for a 50% reduction for all board members during 2020.
However, the Company's monitoring and supervision requires more and more dedication on the part of the directors. This
greater dedication by directors has become evident, for example, by the increase in the number of meetings in 2020 (where
49 Board meetings and 28 various committee meetings were held) and 2021 (where 34 Board meetings and 26 various
committee meetings were held). In view of the greater dedication of the directors, and maintaining the primary objective of
ensuring that the remuneration received is in reasonable proportion to the Company's importance, with the current economic
situation and the market standards of comparable companies at both national and international level, it was considered
necessary and appropriate to proceed with the review of the Remuneration Policy, which ensures maintaining the previous
principles of proportionality and reasonableness.
In turn, remuneration must be adequate to attract and retain the directors of the desired profile and to reward the dedication,
qualification and responsibility required by the office, without compromising the independence of the directors' judgement. The
achievement of these objectives is facilitated by the new Company Remuneration Policy.
In this context, i) the fixed annual remuneration for participation in the Board of Directors is 82,500 euros per year per director
(in the previous Remuneration Policy it was 75,000 euros) and ii) independent directors will receive an additional remuneration
of 27,500 euros per year for their membership in the Executive Committee or any of the committees of the Board of Directors,
regardless of the number of committees of which the independent director is a member (in the previous Remuneration Policy
such remuneration was 25,000 euros).
Finally, the remuneration of the Executive Chairman for the performance of his executive functions is maintained
under the same terms, as approved in the previous Remuneration Policy for directors. However, the new Policy includes items
relating to the contracts of directors which must be noted, in accordance with the provisions of the new regulations in force.

for the year ended 31 December 2022
A.3 Identify the direct link to the document containing the company's current remuneration policy, which must
be available on the company's website.
The current Remuneration Policy for directors is available on the Company’s website at https://www.amrest.eu/en/investors/
corporate-governance/board-directors-regulations-and-reports
A.4 Explain, taking into account the data provided in Section B,4, how account has been taken of the voting of
shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting to which the annual report on remuneration for the previous
year was submitted on a consultative basis.
The annual report on directors' remuneration for the 2021 financial year was submitted to the consultative vote of the General
Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2022, being approved by the 98.94% of the votes issued, with 0.10% of votes against
and 0.96% of abstentions.
This result reflects the broad support the annual report on directors' remuneration received from the Company's shareholders,
for which reason it has been considered appropriate to prepare the report for the 2022 financial year in similar terms.
B.OVERALL SUMMARY OF HOW REMUNERATION POLICY WAS APPLIED
DURING THE YEAR LAST ENDED
B.1.1 Explain the process followed to apply the remuneration policy and determine the individual remuneration
contained in Section C of this report. This information will include the role played by the remuneration
committee, the decisions taken by the Board of Directors and the identity and role of any external advisors
whose services may have been used in the process of applying the remuneration policy in the year last ended.
During the 2022 financial year, two remuneration policies were applicable:
From January 1 to May 12, the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved at the Company's General Shareholders'
Meeting held on May 12, 2021.
From May 12 until December 31, the Directors' Remuneration Policy approved at the Company's General
Shareholders' Meeting held on May 12, 2022.
The remuneration accrued and paid in the financial year 2022 has followed the terms of the Remuneration Policies approved
by the General Shareholders' Meeting in 2021 and 2022, without any deviation from the procedure for the application of these
Policies, nor has any temporary exception been applied to them.
In this regard, the remuneration accrued and paid in 2022 to the directors (both to the directors in their capacity as such and to
the executive directors) has been composed of the same elements as those described in relation to the current Remuneration
Policy in force in 2023.
Regarding the process followed for the application of the Remuneration Policy during the financial year 2022, the following
should be noted:
The General Shareholders' Meeting agreed to set the maximum annual amount of remuneration for all of the
Company's directors in their capacity as such at €1,500,000.
In turn, the General Shareholders' Meeting delegated to the Company's Board of Directors the distribution among its
members of this amount, taking into account the functions and responsibilities attributed to each director, their membership of
the Board's committees, and any other objective circumstances deemed relevant.
Furthermore, in order to apply the Remuneration Policy during the 2022 fiscal year, the Appointments, Remuneration
and Corporate Governance Committee performed the following duties:
(i)to propose to the Board of Directors: (a) the remuneration policy for the directors; (b) the individual remuneration for
the executive director and other conditions of its contract, ensuring that they are followed; and (c) the basic conditions of senior
executives contracts;
135
AMREST GROUP Annual Report on Director's Remuneration of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
(ii)to analyse, pose and periodically review the remuneration policy applied to executives, including the remuneration
packages with shares and their application, and ensure that it is proportionate to that paid to the personnel of the company;
(iii)to ensure compliance with the remuneration policy established by the Company; and
(iv)to assist the Board in the preparation of the report on the Remuneration Policy and submit to the Board any other
remuneration reports foreseen in internal regulation, verifying the information about the directors and senior executives’
remuneration established in different corporate documents, including the annual report on directors’ remuneration.
The services of external advisors have not been used in the process of applying the remuneration policy in the 2022
financial year.
B.1.2 Explain any deviation from the procedure established for the application of the remuneration policy that
has occurred during the year.
During the financial year 2022 there has been no deviation from the procedure established for the application of the
Remuneration Policy.
B.1.3 Indicate whether any temporary exception has been applied to the remuneration policy and, if so, explain
the exceptional circumstances that have led to the application of these exceptions, the specific components of
the remuneration policy affected and the reasons why the entity believes that these exceptions have been
necessary to serve the long-term interests and sustainability of the society as a whole or ensure its viability,
Similarly, quantify the impact that the application of these exceptions has had on the remuneration of each
director over the year.
During the financial year 2022 no temporary exception has been applied to the Remuneration Policy.
B.2 Explain the different actions taken by the company in relation to the remuneration system and how they have
contributed to reducing exposure to excessive risks, aligning it with the long-term objectives, values and
interests of the company, including a reference to the measures adopted to ensure that the long-term results of
the company have been taken into consideration in the remuneration accrued, Ensure that an appropriate
balance has been attained between the fixed and variable components of the remuneration, the measures
adopted in relation to those categories of personnel whose professional activities have a material effect on the
company’s risk profile and the measures in place to avoid any possible conflicts of interest.
The main purpose of the AmRest Remuneration Policy for Directors is to contribute to the development of the values, mission
and vision of the AmRest Group, so that the remuneration corresponding to the members of the Company's governing body
is appropriate to the achievement of the objectives and duties that concern the directors. The Remuneration Policy
contributes to the Company's business strategy, interests and long-term sustainability, with the objective of creating
shareholder value in a sustainable way over time, incorporating the necessary precautions to avoid excessive risk-taking and
the rewarding of unfavourable results.
In this context, the basic principles that inspire the Remuneration Policy to achieve this contribution to the Company's
strategy, interests and long-term sustainability are as follows:
-Assess the dedication, qualification and responsibility required for the office, seeking moderation and in any case
relating to the remuneration that is paid in the market in comparable companies, so that they align with best market
practices.
-The remuneration of external directors, and in particular independent directors, will be as necessary to correspond to the
effective dedication, qualification and responsibility required by the office, but not so high as to compromise their
independence in judgement.
-Maintain a balance between the interests of the directors and shareholders and, in particular, align the policy with the
Company's values, the maximization of the company dividend and profitability for shareholders.
136
AMREST GROUP Annual Report on Director's Remuneration of listed companies
for the year ended 31 December 2022
-Ensure that the remuneration system promotes the achievement of the strategic objectives established by the Company
and its Group.
-Ensure commitment to the principle of full transparency of the Company's Remuneration Policy by providing timely,
sufficient and clear information in line with applicable regulations and corporate governance recommendations, as
recognized in international markets for the remuneration of directors.
Likewise, in the preparation of the Remuneration Policy and in determining the remuneration scheme and the other terms and
conditions of the directors' remuneration, the Board of Directors has paid special attention to the remuneration and
employment terms of the Company's employees, to the extent that directors shall not be granted any remuneration concept
that is not similar to that which other employees of the Company may have.
In this sense, the Remuneration Policy is aligned with that of the other employees and executives of the Company with regard
to the principles that inspire it, such as, among others:
(i) remuneration equity: ensuring non-discrimination on grounds of gender, age, culture, religion or race in the application of
remuneration practices and policies. In this regard, AmRest professionals, including employees, executives and directors, are
paid in a manner consistent with the level of responsibility, leadership and performance within the organization, favoring the
retention of key professionals and the attraction of the best talent,
(ii) proportionality and risk management: remuneration levels are appropriate to the importance of the Company, its current
economic situation and market standards in comparable sectors and companies. In addition, provisions to mitigate
inappropriate risk-taking are included; and
(iii) values: the Remuneration Policy is designed to attract and retain the best professionals and to motivate a high
performance culture.
Within the framework of this Remuneration Policy, the measures or actions taken by the Company in relation to the
remuneration system in a bid to reduce exposure to excessive risks and align the system to the long-term objectives, values
and interests of the Company are summarised as follows:
(i)No variable remuneration items are provided for, neither in the remuneration for directors in their capacity as such, nor
in that of executive directors for the performance of executive duties.
Executive directors of the Company will not receive variable remuneration, nor will they form part of remuneration plans
through shares or linked to the share price of the Company. Their remuneration can only be of fixed nature, it may vary based
on the specific responsibilities and nature of the duties performed. In any event, said fixed remuneration must remain in line
with the market remuneration paid by peer companies.
(ii)To balance the directors and shareholders’ interests and, in particular, alignment with the values of the Company, its
commitment to maximise its shareholder dividend and returns.
(iii)To align the policy to economic conditions and the international landscape.
B.3 Explain how the remuneration accrued and consolidated over the financial year complies with the provisions
of the current remuneration policy and, in particular, how it contributes to the company’s long-term and
sustainable performance.
Furthermore, report on the relationship between the remuneration obtained by the directors and the results or
other performance measures of the company in the short and long term, explaining, if applicable, how variations
in the company's performance have influenced changes in directors' remuneration, including any accrued
remuneration payment of which has been deferred, and how such remuneration contributes to the short- and
long-term results of the company.
The remuneration accrued in the financial year 2022 fulfils the terms of the current AmRest Directors' Remuneration Policy
insofar as the amounts accrued fall within the maximum annual amount approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting and
correspond to the allocation agreed by the Board of Directors. In addition, the principles and criteria set out in the Policy have
been followed, among others, that the remuneration of the directors in their capacity as such consists only of a fixed amount
and, in the case of the remuneration of the Executive Chairman, of a compensation package.
Directors' remuneration is austere and balanced, reflecting the Company's corporate and personal ethics, thus contributing to
its sustainability and results.

In 2020, due to the exceptional circumstances caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Board lowered its remuneration by 50%.
