KEY HIGHLIGHTS

ELECTRODE TECHNOLOGIES

Profitability change reflects

  • extraordinary performance in Q1 2022
  • different product mix with lower incidence of Electronics and Electrowinning products lines

WATER TECHNOLOGIES

Profitability mainly impacted by lower Pool's revenue incidence which was exceptional in Q1 2022

ENERGY TRANSITION

Positive EBITDA reflects revenue growth and favorable product mix

F R O M E B I T D A T O N E T R E S U L T

• EBIT trend mainly attributable

Changes in Net Financial costs reflect

  • Higher financial costs in Q1 2023
  • Higher Financial income in Q1 2022 due to differences in exchange rates

Partial repayment (56%) of the Senior Facility, which occurred in March'23, is expected to have a positive impact on Financial costs in the next quarters

Net result Q1'23 at €25

Q1'22 data was impacted by accounting adjustments related to tk nucera FY 2021 net profit

*Share of Profit of Investment in tk nucera. Negative €6.3m was made up as follows: €4.0m late adjustment in the net profit of tk nucera as of Dec. 2021, that was communicated to IDN after the approval of its FY 2021 results, and €2.3m of P&L impact due to the Preferred dividends distributed in Mar.'22 by tk nucera to its other shareholder thyssenkrupp Projekt1 GmbH 15

The content of this presentation has a merely informative and provisional nature and does not constitute a public offer under any applicable legislation or an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to purchase or subscribe for securities or financial instruments or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities or other financial instruments, nor shall it or any part of it nor the fact of its distribution form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or investment decision in relation thereto.

The information contained in this presentation does not purport to be comprehensive and has not been independently verified by any independent third party.

Statements contained in this presentation regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Past performance of De Nora Group cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance. Industrie De Nora makes no representation or warranty, whether expressed or implied, and no reliance should be placed on the fairness, accuracy, completeness, correctness or reliability of the information contained herein and/or discussed verbally.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of Industrie De Nora that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which Industrie De Nora operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of Industrie De Nora. In particular, among other statements, certain statements with regard to management objectives, trends in results of operations, margins, costs, return on equity, risk management are forward-looking in nature. Words such as 'expects', 'aims', 'forecasts', 'anticipates', 'targets', 'goals', 'projects', 'intends', 'plans', 'believes', 'seeks', 'estimates', variations of such words, and similar expressions (or their negative) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behaviour of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors. Therefore, Industrie De Nora's actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic conditions globally, social, political, economic and regulatory developments or changes in economic or technological trends or conditions in Italy and internationally. Consequently, Industrie De Nora makes no representation, whether expressed or implied, as to the conformity of the actual results with those projected in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Industrie De Nora speak only as of the date they are made. Industrie De Nora does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in Industrie De Nora's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any further disclosures Industrie De Nora may make in documents it files with the Italian Securities and Exchange Commission and with the Italian Stock Exchange.

This presentation contains alternative performance indicators that are not recognized by IFRS. Different companies and analysts may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis should be done very carefully. These non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, are not measures of performance or financial condition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for operating profit or net profit as an indicator of our operations in accordance with IFRS.
