Company information and business performance

In the first half of 2024, consolidated revenues of the Servizi Italia Group amounted to Euro 147,153 thousand, an increase of 2.3% (3.3% at constant exchange rates) compared to the first half of 2023. Please note the following as regards revenues from sales and services by sector in the comparison between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2023:

  • Revenues from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 74.4% of the Group's revenues) rose from Euro 107,688 thousand in the first six months of 2023 to Euro 109,423 thousand in the same period of 2024, recording an increase of 1.6% (or 2.9% at constant exchange rates), supported both by wash-hire in Italy (+0.4%) and by a rapid recovery deriving from the price adjustment in the Turkey area (+34.6%, or +67.3% at constant exchange rates). The Italy area over the comparison period records certain customers lost in the Marche area, more than offset by excellent performance by the other Italian areas in which the Group operates.
  • Revenues from linen sterilisaঞon services (Steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 6.9% of the Group's revenues) went from Euro 9,686 thousand in the first half of 2023 to Euro 10,119 thousand with an increase of 4.5%. The increase is mainly due to the release of the excess porঞon of the medical devices payback fund for Euro 833 thousand, which has a one-off effect and consequent to the rulings of the Consঞtuঞonal Court no. 139/24 and 140/24 as beer specified in the paragraph "Informaঞon on ongoing proceedings". Net of this effect, there would be a negaঞve change of Euro 400 thousand or -4.1% mainly due to contracts concluded in the Veneto area in the second half of 2023.
  • Revenues from surgical instrument sterilisaঞon services (Steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 18.8% of the Group's revenues) rose from Euro 26,472 thousand in 2023 to Euro 27,611 thousand in 2024, with an increase of 4.3%, equal to Euro 1,139 thousand mainly due to higher operaঞng acঞviঞes recorded in the period in the Italy area.

Consolidated EBITDA went from Euro 36,115 thousand in the first six months of 2023 to Euro 38,914 in the same period of 2024, with an EBITDA margin growing by 130 bps, from 25.1% to 26.4% of revenues or an increase in absolute value of 7.8%. During the period, there was a decrease in the impact of costs for raw materials of 0.6%, and in absolute value of 3.7%, driven primarily by lower markeঞng of disposable material and personal protecঞve equipment. Costs for services recorded a 5.7% decrease in absolute value during the period, i.e. an improvement in the EBITDA margin of 2.7%, primarily due to the decrease with respect to the comparison period of gas costs (Euro -2,745 thousand or -2.0% relaঞve incidence) and electricity (Euro -900 thousand or -0.7% relaঞve incidence). Also note that the first half of 2023 included the benefit of the tax receivable in the Italy area of Euro 1,953 thousand, recorded under other revenues and absent in the first half of 2024. Personnel expense increased in terms of incidence on revenues (+0.7%) compared to the previous period, and were also up in absolute value (+4.6%), predominantly as a result of salary adjustments applied in the Italy area upon entry into force of the new Naঞonal Collecঞve Labour Agreement starঞng from March and December 2023 as well as June 2024. During the period, operaঞng margins decreased in the Brazil area (EBITDA margin going from 23.3% to 20.5%), partly due to the start-up phase of the sterilisaঞon plant in São Paulo and to higher personnel expense recorded during the period, while there was a significant recovery in margins in the Turkey area (EBITDA margin going from 27.7% to 33.2%) mainly due to the inflaঞonary adjustment of contract prices.

The consolidated operaঞng result (EBIT) went from Euro 7,363 thousand during the first six months of 2023 (5.1% compared to the turnover for the period) to Euro 10,671 thousand during the same

period in 2024 (7.3% compared to the revenues for the period), mainly due to the dynamics already described in the comment on the change in revenues and EBITDA; a reducঞon in depreciaঞon, amorঞsaঞon and impairment was also recorded (Euro -509 thousand or -0.8% in terms of relaঞve incidence).

Financial management showed an increase in financial expenses of Euro 1,682 thousand compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the sharp increase in interest rates applied by the interbank system in the Eurozone and interest rates in the Turkey area.

Taxes for the period are negaঞve for Euro 1,397 thousand, with an incidence on the pre-tax result of 25.1% and mainly concern current taxes for the period.

Therefore, the consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2024 closed with a net profit of Euro 4,179 thousand compared to the net profit of Euro 2,882 thousand for the same period of 2023.

This merger is part of a corporate simplificaঞon and reorganisaঞon process launched by the merging enঞty with the aim of pursuing greater producঞon synergies – in consideraঞon of commercial prospects and with a view to harmonising and opঞmising customer service – as well as containment of overheads. The merger deed was signed on 10 June 2024 and will take effect with respect to third parঞes on the legal effecঞve date on 1 July 2024.

All the members of the Board of Directors, with the excepঞon of Director Antonio Arisঞde Mastrangelo, were taken from the list submied by the majority Shareholder Aurum S.p.A., holder of a stake of approximately 62.42% of the share capital, which received votes in favour of approximately 91.88% of the shares represented at the Shareholders' Meeঞng; Director Antonio Arisঞde Mastrangelo was taken from the list submied by the minority Shareholder Everest S.r.l., holder of a 5.03% stake of the share capital.

Significant events after the end of the half

On 4 July 2024, by exercising its call opঞon, Servizi Italia acquired the remaining 10.0% of the share capital of Wash Service S.r.l., company operaঞng mainly in Northern Italy in the offer of wash and hire services of flat linen, guest linen and staff clothing of hospital faciliঞes, nursing homes and reঞrement faciliঞes, thus achieving ownership of the enঞre share capital of the company. The consideraঞon for 10.0% of the share capital of Wash Service S.r.l. was equal to Euro 391 thousand. For addiঞonal informaঞon, see the appropriate press release.

Business outlook

The results achieved by the Group in the first half of 2024 conঞnue with the excellent performance of the 2023 financial year. Consolidaঞon of the customer porolio, careful management of operaঞons and the posiঞve trend in energy commodity prices contributed posiঞvely to the results achieved both in absolute and relaঞve terms. More incisive than in the comparison period was certainly the cost of money resulঞng from the interest rates applied by the interbank system, an element that is not directly controllable through management leverage but a fundamental variable that is constantly monitored in order to ensure stable financial evoluঞon of the business in the upcoming future. In the medium-term strategy, the Group expects an organic consolidaঞon of its leadership posiঞon in the Italian and foreign market and a conঞnuous search for opঞmisaঞon and efficiencies. Although in a geopoliঞcal context that is difficult to interpret and subject to high volaঞlity with regard to fundamentals, with a trend in interest rates that is hopefully decreasing, although in

the medium term, the Group will conঞnue to work to achieve objecঞves and respect the commitments assumed, maintaining a solid capital posiঞon through an adequate financial balance and a good credit raঞng with banking insঞtuঞons.

Derivatives

As at 30 June 2024, the Group does not have any derivaঞve financial instrument management policies. Some companies not wholly-owned and therefore not consolidated on a line-by-line basis have taken out derivaঞve financial instruments to hedge the risk of fluctuaঞons in interest rates on loans taken out as part of project financing, given the significant amount of financial commitments undertaken and the over ten-year duraঞon of the same. The economic and financial effects of such derivaঞves are incorporated into the valuaঞons of equity investments in the companies that hold them.

Risk management information

The Group has developed a model based on an integrated and adequate risk management and internal control system. All main risks arising from the "core business" were idenঞfied, measured and managed, using the process of analysis of the risks according to the principles of the new COSO-ERM framework (Commiee of Sponsoring Organizaঞon of the Treadway Commission) - (Enterprise Risk Management):

  • governance and risk culture;
  • strategy and definition of risk targets;
  • risk analysis;
  • risk information, communication and reporting;
  • monitoring of the performance of the risk model.

The ERM Framework supports the correct achievement of company objecঞves and consists of five interrelated components, which interact with the mission, vision and core values and determine the performance of the enঞre organisaঞon.

The model adopted by the Group is aimed at ensuring the conঞnuity of the organizaঞon and the adequacy of its processes, acঞviঞes and performance in terms of:

  1. Business objecঞves:

  2. achievement of objectives set within company strategies;

  3. effective and efficient use of organisational resources.

2. Governance objecঞves:

  • ensuring the reliability, accuracy, trustworthiness and timeliness of financial reporting;
  • preservation of the company assets;
  • compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, ethical and company rules;
  • protection of ethical and social responsibilities;
  • sustainable success.

The Board of Directors, through the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Head of Internal Audit, has implemented special processes to idenঞfy the responsibiliঞes for the control of risks, so as to ensure the soundness and the conঞnuity of the business in the long term. To this end, an internal control system has been set up to monitor the risks associated with the acঞvity. In parঞcular, this control system is reflected in the internal rules

of the Group and of the different companies subject to coordinaঞon and control through the documentaঞon of the Servizi Italian compliance program (e.g., Model 231/01, Code of Ethics, Servizi Italia Compliance Program consisঞng of group policies inspired by law, recommendaঞons and internaঞonal best pracঞces, code of conducts, procedures, rules and formats which provide prevenঞve supervision to sensiঞve processes in terms of offence issues). The internal risk control system of the Servizi Italia Group is divided into three levels:

    1. first level: the operaঞng units idenঞfy, assess, monitor, miঞgate and report the risks deriving from the ordinary business acঞvity, ensuring that operaঞons are in line with the risk limits and targets assigned;
    1. second level: the company funcঞons involved in the controls (such as the risk management, legal and compliance funcঞons), arranged in relaঞon to the company's size, sector, complexity and risk profile, aimed at monitoring and managing typical corporate risks (strategic, operaঞonal, compliance, financial and reporঞng);
    1. third level: Internal Audiঞng, which reports directly to the Board of Directors also with the contribuঞon of the Local Unit Representaঞves, for the subsidiaries of strategic significance –, assesses the suitability of the overall internal control and risk management system to ensure the effecঞveness and efficiency of processes, the safeguarding of company assets, the reliability and integrity of accounঞng and management informaঞon, compliance with internal and external regulaঞons and management instrucঞons.

For the performance of its acঞviঞes, the Internal Auditor submits to the Board of Directors a plan of the acঞviঞes, which describes the audits planned in line with the risks associated to the acঞviঞes aimed at achievement of the business objecঞves.The results of the acঞviঞes carried out, on a halfyearly basis, are brought to the aenঞon of the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, of the Control and Risks Commiee, of the Board of Directors (also through the Control and Risks Commiee) and of the Board of Statutory Auditors; the criঞcal elements found during the controls are, on the other hand, promptly reported to the competent company structures for the implementaঞon of any improvement acঞon.

The Servizi Italia Group, aware of its mission and corporate policy, pursues the objecঞve of promptly monitoring the risks idenঞfied in all acঞviঞes, which is an essenঞal condiঞon to preserve the trust of stakeholders and to ensure the sustainability of the business over ঞme, so contribuঞng to the sustainable success of the Company and Servizi Italia Group.

The risk control process is common to all control funcঞons, in line with reference best pracঞces; the different types of risks are defined in the "Guidelines of the SCIGR", and the relaঞve Corporate Risks Map, which is subject to periodic updaঞng at least once a year.

The Guidelines and the Risks Map represent the Group's Risk Appeঞte Framework (hereina[er, in brief, also "RAF"), i.e., the key instrument with which the Board of Directors defines the propensity to risk, tolerance thresholds, sustainable risk limits, risk governance policies and the framework of related organisaঞonal processes. The RAF, the Risks Map and, therefore, the internal regulaঞons on risk management also consider aspects related to the management of the risks of a social, environmental and economic nature (ESG).

Information on ongoing proceedings

The Parent Company has proceedings in progress before the Court of Modena for the administrative liability of legal entities – pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 – for an alleged violation of Article 319 of the Italian Criminal Code, with reference to the awarding of a tender issued by AOU Policlinico di Modena for a nine-year "Global Service" contract, through resolution of 19.12.2008 to the RTI (temporary joint consortium) established by Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., in its capacity as lead contractor, and by other companies including Servizi Italia S.p.A., Padana Everest S.r.l. and Lavanderia Industriale ZBM S.p.A. (companies subsequently merged by incorporation into Servizi Italia S.p.A.) as principals. It should be noted that, at the hearing on 16 February 2021, the Court of Modena ruled in favour of the Chairman, Mr. Roberto Olivi and Messrs. Enea Righi and Luciano Facchini, former directors with powers of representation of Servizi Italia, ruling that the case must not proceed by reason of statute of limitations with consequent extinguishment of the alleged offence. Therefore, the proceedings continue exclusively against the entities so as to initiate the investigation also in terms of the non-existence of the predicate offence already declared statute barred in relation to the predicate offences referred to in Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 2001. In this context, on 28 May 2024, a hearing for discussion was scheduled, then deferred on its own motion to 4 March 2025. On 29 April 2024, the Public Prosecutor filed written conclusions, on which basis Servizi Italia requested acquittal because the fact did not exist.

In January 2019, Servizi Italia was awarded, as principal, the RTI (temporary grouping of companies) formed by Coopservice Soc. Coop p.a., Servizi Italia S.p.A. and others, in relaঞon to the contract for the assignment of the management of integrated support services to the person at the University Hospital of Bologna for a period of six years and for an annual value, limited to Servizi Italia's share, equal to approximately Euro 4 million. On 20 August 2020, the Council of State unexpectedly overturned the previous rulings of the Regional Administraঞve Court and of the Council of State which, by cancelling the request for suspension by the plainঞff, had allowed the temporary grouping of companies of which Servizi Italia is a party to take over during the month of February 2020 in the provision of the service following the award. In view of this last ruling, acঞng in the name and on behalf of the above menঞoned temporary grouping of companies, pursuant to Arঞcle 395 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure and to Arঞcle 106 of the Italian Code of Administraঞve Procedure, the parent company unsuccessfully proposed an appeal for revocaঞon before the Council of State. To date, an appeal is pending before the Supreme Court of Cassaঞon for lack of jurisdicঞon.

Since December 2022, Servizi Italia S.p.A. iniঞated a judicial protecঞon acঞon – sঞll pending – before the Lazio Regional Administraঞve Court, challenging: i) the Ministerial Decree of 6 July 2022 adopted by the Minister of Health, in agreement with the Minister of Economy and Finance, which cerঞfied the exceeding of expenditure limits on medical devices at naঞonal and regional level for the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018; ii) the Ministerial Decree of 6 October 2022, adopted by the Minister of Health, in agreement with the Minister of Economy and Finance, who adopted the guidelines in preparaঞon for the issue of regional and provincial Payback measures, as well as iii) the consequenঞal Payback measures which some Regions, to varying degrees, have imposed on Servizi Italia with respect to the remediaঞon of expenditure limits. It should be noted that one of the main issues raised before the competent judicial body relates to the breach of the terms established pursuant to of Arঞcle 9-ter, paragraph 8, of Italian Law Decree 78/2015, according to which expenditure overruns should be ascertained and declared by 30 September of each year, hence: i) the illegiঞmacy of the Italian Decree of 6 July 2022, which established that expenditure ceilings had been exceeded, with macroscopic delays compared to the said deadlines and ii) the concomitant unconsঞtuঞonality of the acts and rules that allowed the retroacঞve applicaঞon of the Payback measure; this is Arঞcle 9-ter of Italian Law Decree 78/2015 as amended by Arঞcle 1, paragraph 557 of Italian Law no. 145 of 30

December 2018, in conjuncঞon with Arঞcle 18 of Italian Law Decree no. 115 of 9 August 2022 ( "Aiuঞ-bis Decree" - Aid-bis Decree), converted with Italian Law no. 221 of 21 September 2022. It should also be noted that on 24 November 2023, the Lazio Regional Administraঞve Court, in a similar ruling, raised an objecঞon before the Consঞtuঞonal Court to the consঞtuঞonal illegiঞmacy of Arঞcle 9-ter of Italian Law Decree no. 78, by contrast with Arঞcles 3, 23, 41 and 117 of the Italian Consঞtuঞon and consequently ordered the suspension of procedures.

Similarly, with an appeal filed on 31 July 2023, the Campania Region promoted issues of consঞtuঞonal legiঞmacy of Arঞcle 8, paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 6, of Italian Law Decree no. 34 (Urgent measures to support households and businesses for the purchase of electricity and natural gas, as well as in relaঞon to health and tax compliance), converted, with amendments, into Italian Law no. 56, with reference to Arঞcles 3, 5, 32, 77, 97, 117, third and fourth paragraphs, 118, 119 and 120 of the Italian Consঞtuঞon. These instrucঞons were challenged with regard to the part that sets up a provision of Euro 1,085,000 thousand to cover the exceeding, for the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, of the spending limits imposed on the regions and autonomous provinces for the purchase of medical devices (Arঞcle 8, paragraph 1), that establishes the allocaঞon criteria (Arঞcle 8, paragraph 2), that establishes a facilitated mechanism for companies idenঞfied as suppliers obliged to contribute to the selement of the overspend which, with regard to the regional or provincial measures relaঞng to this idenঞficaঞon, have not iniঞated disputes or have abandoned them (Arঞcle 8, paragraph 3), and that in this case promotes the access of these companies to credit (Arঞcle 8, paragraph 6).

Both excepঞons were the subject of a ruling by the Consঞtuঞonal Court.

And so in parঞcular: with ruling no. 140/2024, filed on 22 July 2024 for the purposes of publicaঞon in the Official Gazee, the Council declared unfounded, with regard to the 2015-2018 four year period, the issues of consঞtuঞonality of Arঞcle 9-ter of Italian Law Decree 78/2015 converted with amendments into Italian Law 125/2015; with ruling no. 139/2024, made on 19 June 2024 and filed on 22 July 2024 for the purposes of publicaঞon in the Official Gazee, on the other hand, the Council declared the consঞtuঞonal illegiঞmacy of Arঞcle 8, paragraph 3, of Italian Law Decree no. 34 dated 30 March 2023, converted with amendments into Italian Law no. 56 dated 30 May 2023, in the part in which it does not extend to all companies supplying medical devices the reducঞon to 48% of the quota determined by the regional and provincial measures pursuant to Arঞcle 9-ter, paragraph 9-bis, of Italian Law Decree no. 78 of 19 June 2015, converted with amendments into the law of 6 August 2015, with consequent lapse of the procedures and terms idenঞfied by the same Arঞcle 8, paragraph 3, of the Italian Law Decree of 30 March 2023 as converted.

At present, therefore, a risk profile related to the 2015-2018 four-year period emerges exclusively limited to a charge not exceeding 48% of the request for compensaঞon communicated by the respecঞve Regions for the period referred to above. In light of these consideraঞons, the Parent Company decided to write-off the porঞon pertaining to the aforemenঞoned period considered at present to be in excess of a total amount of Euro 833 thousand.

Despite what has been indicated above, given the complexity of the issues raised, which do not perfectly coincide with the scope of the rulings of the Council, it should be emphasised that it is not possible at the moment to make forecasts regarding the outcome of the judicial protecঞon. For the esঞmate concerning the Payback issue, please refer to the Provisions for risks and charges secঞon.

The Group, having carried out the necessary verificaঞons and assessed with the support of its legal consultants, on the one hand, the soundness of its defensive arguments and, on the other, the uncertainty and unreliability of the current esঞmate of possible economic damage, has not yet decided to make provisions in the financial statements, without prejudice to what has been specified above with regard to medical devices payback.

Risk Factors

In order to minimise different types of risks to which it is exposed, the Group has adopted ঞme scales and control methods that allow company management to monitor risks and to appropriately inform the Director in charge of the internal control system and (also through him) the Board of Directors.

Without prejudice to the principle of conঞnuous monitoring and considering the characterisঞcs of the Group's acঞviঞes, a review of the risk assessment indicates that the Group has been able to achieve the desired miঞgaঞon of the primary operaঞonal, financial, strategic and compliance risks idenঞfied by taking the planned organisaঞonal and operaঞng measures and implemenঞng and documenঞng control points within company processes.

The Servizi Italia Group's acঞviঞes are exposed to various risk types, including interest rate fluctuaঞons and credit, liquidity and cash flow risks. To minimise such risks, the Group has adopted ঞmescales and control methods which allow the company management to monitor risks and inform the Board of Directors so that it may approve all transacঞons involving a commitment by the Group with respect to third-party lenders.

Other information

Servizi Italia S.p.A., pursuant to Arঞcle 3 of the Consob Resoluঞon no. 18079 of 20 January 2012, decided to join the out-put regime set forth in Arঞcles 70, paragraph 8, and 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consob Regulaঞons n. 11971/99 (as amended), availing itself of the right to derogate from the obligaঞon to publish the informaঞon documents as set forth in annex 3B of the above menঞoned Consob Regulaঞons when carrying out significant merging, demerging, share capital increases through contribuঞons in kind, acquisiঞons and transfer operaঞons.

With reference to the changes made to the regulatory framework in 2016, Servizi Italia S.p.A. publishes the addiঞonal periodical informaঞon, meeঞng the obligaঞons specified for the issuers listed in the Euronext STAR Milan segment in Art. 2.2.3, par. 3, of the Regulaঞons for the Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and in the noঞce no. 7578 issued by Borsa Italiana on 21 April 2016.

In the first part of 2024, the Parent Company set the renewal of the 2nd level agreement as one of its prioriঞes in the management of industrial relaঞons. In light of the changed market situaঞon and the reduced uncertainঞes on energy costs, the Parent Company would have assessed a renewal on a two-year or three-year basis, however, at the request of the trade unions, it was agreed to wait unঞl 2025, in order to renew not only the economic part of the agreement, but also the regulatory one. The company accepted the trade union requests and therefore the negoঞaঞon concerned the definiঞon of a transiঞonal agreement, only for the year 2024, in line with what had already occurred last year. The negoঞaঞons ended on 8 May with the signature of the agreement at the Naঞonal Coordinaঞon meeঞng, which was held at the Castellina headquarters. The agreement does not envisage substanঞal changes with respect to the previous one, in its structure and in its indicators, apart from the numerical tables updated to the current year.

With reference to the exercise of the right of withdrawal by Servizi Italia with regard to the acquisiঞon of the business unit responsible for decontaminaঞon and sterilisaঞon services of Steris S.p.A., it was not necessary to pursue further trade union issues. In fact, it should be noted that in relaঞon to the aforemenঞoned transacঞon, the procedure and the relaঞve agreement had been iniঞated pursuant to Arঞcle 47 of Italian Law 428/90.

With reference to the merger of the company Ekolav S.r.l., to which reference is made in the paragraph Significant events and transacࢼons, the HR structure managed the procedure envisaged by Arঞcle 47 of Italian Law 428/90. From the point of view of operaঞons at the producঞon sites, threeyear agreements on flexibility and breaks were signed at the Castellina and Florence plants.

Training and development

The first half of 2024 saw the launch of several significant training and/or development courses with two specific objecঞves. The first series of iniঞaঞves aimed at increasing or updaঞng the technical knowledge or skills of the human capital of the structure, in parঞcular: in the operaঞons area, an educaঞon and training program was acঞvated, aimed at creaঞng new maintenance personnel roles internally by using internal operaঞng resources. The second purpose is that relaঞng to organisaঞonal and personal development. In this area the beginning of 2024 saw the launch of two major projects: "Skills Assessment" and "Cybersecurity Awareness" in order to increase internal awareness on the subject of IT security, acঞng proacঞvely in the event of possible aacks.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

1 Introduction

These half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024 of the Servizi Italia Group, subject to limited review, have been prepared in compliance with Art. 154 ter of Italian Legislaঞve Decree 58/1999 as amended as well as the Internaঞonal Financial Reporঞng Standards (IFRS) issued by the Internaঞonal Accounঞng Standards Board (IASB), on the basis of the text published in the Official Journal of the European Communiঞes (OJEC). These half-year financial statements have been prepared in "condensed" form as established by IAS 34, and therefore do not include all the informaঞon normally included in the annual financial statements and must therefore be read together with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial posiঞon, the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, the consolidated cash flow statement and the notes, in line with the requirements of IFRS.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements were dra[ed in compliance with the IFRS issued by the Internaঞonal Accounঞng Standards Board and approved by the European Union at the ঞme of dra[ing of these financial statements. IFRS mean also all revised internaঞonal accounঞng standards (IAS) and all interpretaঞons of the Internaঞonal Interpretaঞons Commiee (IFRIC), previously known as the Standing Interpretaঞons Commiee (SIC).

IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied as from 1 January 2024

The following IFRS accounঞng standards, amendments and interpretaঞons were applied for the first ঞme by the Group starঞng on 1 January 2024:

  • On 23 January 2020, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" and on 31 October 2022 it published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants". The purpose of these amendments is to clarify how to classify payables and other short or long-term liabilities. In addition, the amendments also improve the information that entities must provide when their right to defer the settlement of a liability for at least 12 months is subject to compliance with specific parameters (i.e. covenants).
  • On 22 September 2022, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback". The document requires the seller-lessee to assess the lease liability deriving from a sale & leaseback transaction so as not to recognise an income or a loss that refers to the withheld right of use.
  • On 25 May 2023, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements". The document requires an entity to provide additional information on reverse factoring agreements that allow users of financial statements to assess how financial agreements with

suppliers may affect the entity's liabilities and cash flows and to understand the effect of such agreements on the entity's exposure to liquidity risk.

The adopঞon of these amendments did not impact the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

IFRS accounঞng standards, amendments and interpretaঞons sঞll not approved by the European Union.

At the reference date of this document, the European Union competent bodies had not yet concluded the approval process needed for the adopঞon of the amendments and standards described below.

  • On 30 May 2024, the IASB published the document "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7". The document clarifies some problemaঞc aspects that were idenঞfied by the post-implementaঞon review of IFRS 9, including the accounঞng treatment of financial assets whose returns vary upon achievement of ESG objecঞves (i.e. green bonds). In parঞcular, the amendments aim to:
    • o Clarify the classificaঞon of financial assets with variable returns and linked to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) objecঞves and the criteria to be used for the assessment of the SPPI test;
    • o determine that the date of selement of the liabiliঞes through electronic payment systems is that on which the liabiliঞes is seled. However, an enঞty is permied to adopt an accounঞng policy to allow for the eliminaঞon of a financial liability before delivering liquidity on the selement date in the presence of certain specific condiঞons.

With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced addiঞonal reporঞng requirements with regard, in parঞcular, to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI. The amendments will apply for financial statements for periods starঞng on or a[er 1 January 2026. Directors do not expect any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when this amendment is adopted.

  • On 9 April 2024, the IASB published a new standard IFRS 18 Presentaࢼon and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will replace IAS 1 Presentaࢼon of Financial Statements. The new standard aims to improve the presentaঞon of the main financial statements and introduces important changes with reference to the income statement. In parঞcular, the new standard requires to:
    • o Classify revenues and costs into three new categories (operaঞng secঞon, investment secঞon and financial secঞon), in addiঞon to the taxes and disconঞnued operaঞons categories already present in the income statement;
    • o Present two new sub-totals, the operaঞng result and the result before interest and taxes (i.e. EBIT).

The new standard also:

  • o Requires more informaঞon on the performance indicators defined by management;
  • o introduces new criteria for combining and unbundling informaঞon; and, introduces some changes to the cash flow statement, including the requirement to use the operaঞng result as a starঞng point for the presentaঞon of the cash flow statement prepared with the indirect method and the eliminaঞon of some classificaঞon opঞons of some currently exisঞng items (such as, for example, interest paid, interest collected, dividends paid and dividends collected).

The new standard will come into effect as from 1 January 2027, though early applicaঞon is permied. The directors are currently assessing the possible effects of the introducঞon of this new standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

  • On 15 August 2023, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability". This document requires entities to apply a methodology to be applied consistently in order to verify whether one currency can be converted into another and, when this is not possible, how to determine the exchange rate to be used and the information to be provided in the explanatory notes. The amendment will apply as from 1 January 2025, though early adoption is allowed. Directors do not expect any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when this amendment is adopted.
  • On 9 May 2024, the IASB published a new standard "IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures". The new standard introduces some simplifications with reference to the disclosures required by other IAS-IFRS standards. This standard can be applied by an entity that meets the following main criteria:
    • o It is a subsidiary;
    • o It has not issued equity or debt instruments listed on a market and is not in the process of issuing them;
    • o It has a parent company that prepares consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS.

The new standard will come into effect as from 1 January 2027, though early application is permitted. Directors do not expect any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when this amendment is adopted.

2 The Company as part of a group

Servizi Italia S.p.A. is a subsidiary of the Coopservice S.Coop.p.A. group, with registered offices in Reggio Emilia, which holds a controlling shareholding via the Company Aurum S.p.A., which therefore indirectly controls the Servizi Italia Group.

Servizi Italia S.p.A. is not subject to the management and co-ordinaঞon acঞviঞes of either the direct parent company Aurum S.p.A. or the indirect parent company Coopservice S.Coop.p.A. In fact, Servizi Italia S.p.A. operates under condiঞons of corporate and entrepreneurial autonomy in commercial dealings with its customers and suppliers and independently defines its industrial plans and/or budgets. Furthermore, Servizi Italia S.p.A., in compliance with the provisions of Italian Law no. 262 dated 28 December 2005, has adopted all the necessary measures which permit it not to be subject to management and co-ordinaঞon acঞviঞes.

3 Consolidation principles and accounting standards

3.1 Consolidation principles

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024 include the financial statements of Servizi Italia S.p.A. and of the companies over which it exercises direct or indirect control, beginning on the date on which it is acquired and unঞl the date on which it is no longer held. Investments in associates and jointly controlled companies (joint ventures) are measured using the equity method, while jointly controlled acঞviঞes (joint operaঞons) are recorded by recognising the porঞon of the assets and liabiliঞes, costs and revenues that pertain thereto, directly into the financial statements of the company that is party to the agreements.

The financial statements consolidated line-by-line were dra[ed as at 30 June 2024, are those appropriately prepared and approved by the administraঞve bodies, and have been adjusted as required to bring them into line with the accounঞng standards of Servizi Italia S.p.A.

The consolidaঞon criteria are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.

3.3 Accounting standards and basis of preparation

The accounঞng standards and basis of preparaঞon, reported in the introducঞon to the Notes to the financial statements, are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023, which should be referred to for a descripঞon, with the excepঞon of the IFRS standards, amendments and interpretaঞons applied for the first ঞme as at 1 January 2024 and described, together with the effects on the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements, in the introducঞon to these Notes.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024 were dra[ed on the basis of the going concern assumpঞon.

4 Risk management policy

The Servizi Italia Group's financial risk management is carried out centrally within the framework of specific organisaঞonal direcঞves governing the management of financial risks and the control of all transacঞons relevant to the composiঞon of financial and/or trade assets and liabiliঞes.

The Servizi Italia Group's acঞviঞes are exposed to various risk types, including interest rate fluctuaঞons and credit, liquidity, cash flow risks and currency-type risks.

To minimise such risks, the Servizi Italia Group has adopted ঞmescales and control methods, which allow the company management to monitor this risk and inform the Board of Directors so that it may approve all transacঞons involving a commitment by the Company with respect to third parঞes.

The principal internal and external risks to which the Group is exposed are described in the directors' report accompanying the separate financial statements as at 31 December 2023. A descripঞon of market risks and the relaঞve hedging policies is provided below.

4.1 Type of risks hedged

Exchange rate risk

The investments in Brazil, Turkey, India, Albania and Morocco have posiঞoned the Group in an internaঞonal context, exposing it to exchange rate risk generated by fluctuaঞons in the Euro/Real, Euro/Turkish Lira, Euro/Indian Rupee, Euro/Albanian Lek and Euro/Moroccan Dirham exchange rates.

The assessment of exchange rate risk weights the risk of currency fluctuaঞons with the size and ঞme distribuঞon of the cash flows expressed in foreign currency and with the cost of possible hedging transacঞons. The assessments, taking into account the fact that no capital repatriaঞon is expected from abroad in the short term, have led to the decision not to hedge against currency risk.

Credit risk

The credit risk is constantly monitored by means of periodic processing of past due situaঞons which are subject to the analysis of the Group's financial structure. The Group is also equipped with recovery procedures for doubul receivables and avails itself of the assistance of legal advisors in the event of disputes being established.

In light of the fact that customers are predominantly public companies, default risk is deemed low. However, these customers have extended payment ঞmes which depend on loans received by the local health units, the hospitals and the Regions. Currently, the average days sales outstanding are 96.

Trade receivables shown in the financial statements are adjusted for expected losses according to a model that refers to an expected loss for the enঞre life of trade receivables in compliance with the simplified approach envisaged by IFRS 9. The expected loss rates applied are substanঞally in line with those indicated in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.

Liquidity risk

To correctly manage liquidity risk, an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents must be maintained. In light of the predominantly public nature of the group's customers and the average collecঞon ঞmes,

cash and cash equivalents are obtained primarily from accounts receivable financing and, to a lesser extent, from medium-term, unsecured credit lines. The Group also uses factoring without recourse.

Interest rate risk

The Group's net financial debt primarily comprises short-term payables which, as at 30 June 2024, represent approximately 53.8% of its debt, at an average annual rate, in relaঞon to the short-term payable to banks, of around 6.41%. With regard to the global financial crisis, the Group is monitoring the market and assessing the appropriateness of taking out rate hedging transacঞons in order to limit the negaঞve impacts of changes in interest rates on the consolidated income statement. The table below demonstrates the effect that would be generated by a 0.5% increase or decrease in rates (in thousands of Euros).

(thousands of Euros) 0.5% rate increase 0.5% rate decrease
30 June 2024 31 December 2023 30 June 2024 31 December 2023
Financial receivables +26 +53 (26) (53)
Financial payables +307 +450 (307) (450)
Factoring of receivables +196 +439 (196) (439)

4.2 Fair value information

Financial assets and financial liabiliঞes are recognised at amorঞsed cost. Shareholdings in other companies relate to investments of a strategic and producঞon nature, all of which are in fact held in relaঞon to the management of contracts or licences.

These equity investments usually cannot be freely transferred to third parঞes, since they are subject to rules and agreements that in pracঞce prevent their free circulaঞon. The equity investments in other companies are recognised at fair value if there is an acঞve market for the securiঞes representaঞve of these equity investments. The profits or the losses deriving from changes in the fair value are recognised directly in the income statement. If an acঞve market is not available, which is the case for all equity investments held by the Company as at 30 June 2024, equity investments in other companies are recognised at the cost of purchase or set-up, reduced for any impairment or capital refund, as best esঞmate of the fair value.

The Group does not hold financial instruments measured at fair value with an acঞve market. Therefore, no classificaঞon based on input quality is provided.

5 Segment reporting

The Servizi Italia Group's segment reporঞng is organised as follows:

  • Wash-hire: this includes (i) planning and provision of integrated hire, reconditioning (disinfection, washing, finishing and packaging) and logistics (pick-up and distribution to usage centres) services for textile items, mattresses and accessories, (ii) rental and washing of high visibility "118" emergency service items and (iii) logistics, transport and management of hospital linen storage facilities;
  • Linen sterilisation (Steril B): this includes the planning and rental of sterile medical devices for operating theatres (linens for operating theatres and scrubs) packed in kits for the operating theatre, in cotton or in re-usable technical fabric, as well as personal protection equipment (gloves, masks);

In terms of geographical areas, please note that the Servizi Italia Group:

  • operates in Italian territory, with the exception of the Brazilian companies Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A., Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A., Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A. and Aqualav Serviços De Higienização Ltda held through the subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda, as well as the Turkish companies Ankateks Turizm İnşaat Tekstil Temizleme Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd Şirketi, Ergülteks Temizlik Tekstil Ltd. Sti. and Ankateks Tur. Teks. Tem.Sanve TIC. A.s. – Olimpos Laundry Teks.Tem. Hizm. Ve Tur. San. Tic. LTD.Sti IS Ortakligi.
  • mainly offers the same types of services in each geographical area in Italy and abroad.

As a result, informaঞon is not presented by geographical area, with the excepঞon of revenues, which are broken down by region in paragraph 7.1.

The Servizi Italia Group considers the breakdown by business area to be more significant. The core business areas are idenঞfied based on how the Group is managed, how management responsibiliঞes are aributed and how business reporঞng is analysed by the management.

(a) EBITDA is not an accounting measurement under the IFRSs endorsed by the European Union. Group management has defined EBITDA as the difference between the value of sales and services and operating costs before depreciation, amortisation, writedowns, impairment and provisions.

Revenues from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 74.4% of the Group's revenues) rose from Euro 107,688 thousand in the first six months of 2023 to Euro 109,423 thousand in the same period of 2024, recording an increase of 1.6% (or 2.9% at constant exchange rates), supported both by wash-hire in Italy (+0.4%) and by a rapid recovery deriving from the price adjustment in the Turkey area (+34.6%, or +67.3% at constant exchange rates). The Italy area over the comparison period records certain customers lost in the Marche area, more than offset by excellent performance by the other Italian areas in which the Group operates.

Revenues from linen sterilisation services (Steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 6.9% of the Group's revenues) went from Euro 9,686 thousand in the first half of 2023 to Euro 10,119 thousand with an increase of 4.5%. The increase is mainly due to the release of the excess portion of the medical devices payback fund for Euro 833 thousand, which has a one-off effect and consequent to the rulings of the Constitutional Court no. 139/24 and 140/24 as better specified in the paragraph "Information on ongoing proceedings". Net of this effect, there would be a negative change of Euro 400 thousand or -4.1% mainly due to contracts concluded in the Veneto area in the second half of 2023.

Revenues from surgical instrument sterilisaঞon services (Steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 18.8% of the Group's revenues) rose from Euro 26,472 thousand in 2023 to Euro 27,611 thousand in 2024, with an increase of 4.3%, equal to Euro 1,139 thousand mainly due to higher operaঞng acঞviঞes recorded in the period in the Italy area.

REVIEW REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the shareholders of Servizi Italia SpA

Foreword

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Servizi Italia SpA and its subsidiaries (the Servizi Italia Group) as of 30 June 2024, comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, consolidated cashflow statement and related explanatory notes. The directors of Servizi Italia Group are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the international accounting standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution No. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a fullscope audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Servizi Italia Group as of 30 June 2024 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the international accounting standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

Other Matters

The consolidated financial statements of Servizi Italia Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 and the consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2023 were audited and reviewed, respectively, by other auditors, who on 27 March 2024 expressed an unmodified opinion on the consolidated financial statements, and on 10 August 2023 expressed an unmodified conclusion on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.
