INTERIM CONSOLIDATED REPORT ON OPERATIONS

(Not audited by the Independent Auditors)

1 The Tesmec Group

The Parent Company Tesmec S.p.A. (hereinafter "Parent Company" or "Tesmec") is a legal entity organised in accordance with the legal system of the Italian Republic. The ordinary shares of Tesmec are listed on the MTA (screen-based share market) STAR Segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Tesmec Group (hereinafter "Group" or "Tesmec Group") is in Milan, Piazza S. Ambrogio 16.

The Tesmec Group is a leader in the design, production and marketing of special products and integrated solutions for the construction, maintenance and streamlining of infrastructures relating to the transmission of electrical power, data and material transport.

Founded in Italy in 1951 and managed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, the Group, as from its listing on the Stock Exchange on 1 July 2010, has pursued the stated objective of diversification of the types of products in order to offer a complete range of integrated solutions grouped into three main areas of business: Energy, Trencher and Rail. The structure has more than 1,000 employees and has production plants located in Grassobbio (Bergamo), Sirone (Lecco) and Monopoli (Bari) in Italy, Alvarado (Texas) in the USA and Durtal in France. Furthermore, after the reorganisation of the Automation segment, Tesmec Automation has 3 additional operating units available in Fidenza, Padua and Patrica (Frosinone). The Group has a global commercial structure, with a direct presence on different continents, through foreign companies and sales offices in the USA, South Africa, Russia, Qatar, China, France, Australia, New Zealand, Côte d'Ivoire and Saudi Arabia.

Through the different types of product, the Group is able to offer:

1.1 Energy segment

• Machines and integrated systems for overhead and underground powerlines stringing works and fibre optic cables.
• Integrated solutions for the streamlining, management and monitoring of medium and high voltage power lines (smart grid solutions).

1.2 Trencher segment

• High-efficiency crawler trenching machines for excavation with a set section for the construction of infrastructures for the transport of data, raw materials and gaseous and liquid products in the various segments: energy, farming, chemical and public utilities.
• Crawler trenching machines for works on surface mines and earth moving works (Rock Hawg).
• Rental of said trenching machines.
• Specialised consultancy and excavation services on customer request.
• The Trencher segment also includes the excavation services for power networks and fibre optic cables.

1.3 Rail segment

• Works vehicles and integrated solutions for the installation, renewal and maintenance of the railway catenary wire system.
• Vehicles and systems for rail infrastructure diagnostics.

The know-how achieved in the development of specific technologies and innovative solutions and the presence of a team of highly-skilled engineers and technicians allow the Tesmec Group to directly manage the entire production chain: from the design, production and marketing or rental of machinery to the supply of know-how relating to the use of systems and optimisation of work, to all pre- and post-sales services related to machinery and the increase in site efficiency.

2 Reference context

2.1 Tesmec Group as at 31 March 2024

A. Results of first quarter of 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, Tesmec recorded an increase in Revenues of 3.2%, associated with a significant recovery in profitability, with EBITDA up by 20.5%, mainly thanks to a better sales mix, while the first effects of the efficiency

initiatives launched between the end of 2023 and the first two months of the new year are expected to show their contribution between the second and third quarter of the year. At the same time, inventory levels remained high due to purchases in the period in respect of expected turnover in the coming months, slightly lower than the consumption of the quarter: together with the increase in trade receivables at the end of March and the allocation of higher IFRS 16 items linked to new rents, this has ensured that the aforementioned profitability recoveries have not yet translated, in the first quarter, into a positive free cash flow, with NFP higher as at 31 March 2024 than the figure as at 31 December last. Moreover, Tesmec confirms that its primary objective is to improve its net indebtedness at the end of the year, mainly through significant reabsorption of working capital.

More specifically, consolidated revenues in the first quarter of 2024 reached Euro 59.3 million, up as mentioned by 3.2% compared to the same period of 2023, while consolidated EBITDA stood at Euro 9.0 million, up 20.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023. At the same time, the consolidated EBITDA margin went from 13.0% to 15.2%, an increase of more than 2 percentage points made possible by an improved Revenue mix, especially in the Energy and, to a lesser extent, the Trencher segments. In this regard, it should be noted that starting from the second and third quarter, the Group expects to benefit in terms of further efficiency recoveries thanks to specific initiatives launched at operational/industrial structure level between the end of 2023 and the first quarter of the current year, represented by:

• the transfer of the Endine plant and the concentration of Powerlines stringing work production activities at the Grassobbio plant, which has become this segment's global hub;
• the launch of a temporary lay-off scheme programme at the Sirone plant, dedicated to precision mechanics processing;
• the control of fixed operating charges and corporate governance actions at the Group's foreign companies in the USA and Australia which will not only lead to a more effective local management of the Group's commercial development activities, but also to a reduction in management costs.

With reference to the Revenues of the individual Business Units, in the first quarter of 2024:

• Revenues in the Energy division grew by 26.3% compared to the same period in 2023, driven by continued robust demand and the commercial success of the products and technology solutions developed by the Tesmec Group, especially in the Energy Automation segment; in the Energy segment, Tesmec continues to have a significant order backlog, of approximately Euro 117 million as at 31 March, of which approximately Euro 97 million related to the Energy Automation segment (with a multi-year duration, confirming expectations of further growth in this segment in the medium term), while the remainder is related to the Energy Stringing segment (traditionally with a short duration);
• Revenues from the Trencher division were up by 2.2%, reflecting the specific performance of certain markets at the start of the year, within an overall framework consistent with the Group's strategy of prioritising maximum profitability over volumes. More specifically, this growth was the result, on the one hand, of a slower start to the commercial season in France and the United States, more than offset by a positive performance in the Middle East and Africa. The backlog of the Trencher division stood at Euro 71 million as at 31 March 2024, with a rich portfolio of opportunities that, together with the order backlog itself, support expectations of a robust growth in Revenues for the rest of the year;
• Revenues in the Rail division decreased by 25.5%, following the gradual completion of older orders and a delay in obtaining new ones, but in a context of positive expectations for 2024, also in view of important investment programmes by major Italian and international players. As at 31 March 2024, the backlog of the Rail Division was approximately Euro 203 million, with a medium-term duration, which, together with the new order intake forecast, supports the expectation of a significant recovery in Revenues in the next quarters. In the last few years, the Rail segment developed cutting-edge technologies, not only in the maintenance segment, but also in the strategic and high-tech rail diagnostics segment, which continues to represent a powerful driver for the Group's future growth, in particular though international development.

On the basis of what is stated above, the overall backlog of the Tesmec Group as at 31 March 2024 stood at Euro 391 million, slightly below the figure of Euro 402 million as at 31 December 2023, while still at historically very significant values which, however, do not yet discount the acquisition of new orders, particularly in the railway and the Trencher segments for areas expected to experience the most rapid development (Africa and the Middle East).

Furthermore, at geographical level, Tesmec is confirmed as a group strongly oriented towards international markets, with 81% of consolidated revenues generated outside Italy, with a growing contribution of sales in the Middle East and Africa.

With reference to EBITDA performance at divisional level:

• the Energy segment achieved an EBITDA of Euro 2.9 million (with an EBITDA margin of 16.4%), up 34% from Euro 2.1 million in 2023 (when the EBITDA margin was 15.4%). These increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margin were

made possible by (a) the higher turnover for the period and the related effect in terms of operating leverage and (b) an improved sales mix, especially in the Automation segment, which, as a whole, have more than offset the lower contribution compared to 2023 of the JV Condux Tesmec, operating in the powerlines stringing works segment in the United States;

• the Trencher segment generated an EBITDA of Euro 4.7 million (with an EBITDA margin of 13.8%), up 40.2% from Euro 3.4 million in 2023 (when the EBITDA margin was 10.1%). These significant improvements in EBITDA and EBITDA margin occurred thanks to a significant improvement in the mix of machines sold as well as the progressive overcoming of the profitability issues experienced in 2023 in the Australian market, while the margins relating to sales on the New Zealand market, albeit improving, will only reach normalisation levels later in the year;
• the Rail segment had an EBITDA of Euro 1.4 million (with an EBITDA margin of 19.0%), down 28.1 million from Euro 2.0 million in 2023 (when the EBITDA margin was 19.7%). At operating results level, this reduction in EBITDA, with EBITDA margin at substantially the same level, reflects what has already been noted in relation to Revenues, with expectations of improvements starting in the next quarters, especially thanks to the development of the diagnostic vehicles strategic segment.

With reference to the operating result, EBIT in the first three months of 2024 reached Euro 3.1 million, up 62.1% compared to Euro 1.9 million in 2023, with a smaller increase in absolute terms compared to the growth recorded at EBITDA level following higher amortisation and depreciation charges for the period.

In terms of financial components, net financial charges amounted to Euro -4.1 million, a decrease of Euro 0.3 million compared to the value of Euro -4.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, due to:

• on the one hand, net interest expense of Euro -4.3 million, up by Euro -1.4 million compared to Euro -2.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, following the increase in rates, now fully operational, applied to a higher level of seasonal invested capital (and therefore of debt);
• on the other hand, income from changes in exchange rates for Euro 0.2 million, an improvement of Euro 1.7 million compared to exchange rates losses of approximately Euro -1.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.

As a direct effect of the aforementioned recovery of gross operating profitability and higher amortisation/depreciation/financial charges, together with allocations for tax components for the period, the net result for the first quarter of 2024 recorded a loss of Euro -1.1 million, an improvement compared to Euro -2.5 million in the first quarter of 2023.

With reference to the balance sheet results as at 31 March 2024, it should be noted that there are still significant values for inventories (to support the short-term business growth) and work in progress (linked to long-term contracts mainly in the railway segment), with purchases for the period only slightly lower than quarterly consumption, and an increase in trade receivables compared to 31 December last, mainly due to sales in March. In this regard, management confirms its expectations for a progressive and significant replenishment of stock levels in 2024, in terms of a reduction in inventories of materials (thanks to expected sales in the year, with repurchases at lower levels than consumption), and of SAL levels (thanks to the achievement of invoicing milestones for work orders related to the Rail segment - which in 2023 suffered delays in the issue of certifications for the release of milestones for collection purposes - and Energy Automation segment).

More specifically, the net invested capital as at 31 March 2024 amounted to Euro 245.7 million, an increase of Euro 14.0 million compared to 31 December 2023, generated by:

• for Euro 5.1 million, from the growth in working capital, mainly due to the increase in trade receivables relating to sales in the first quarter and from inventory levels slightly lower than as at 31 December;
• for Euro 8.9 million, from the growth in fixed capital, largely driven by the increase in assets relating to application of the IFRS 16 standard, up by approximately Euro 6.6 million compared to 31 December 2023. This increase relating to IFRS 16 items is attributable for approximately Euro 3.1 million to the adjustments of the rent accruals for the coming years of the Grassobbio site, where, in line with the Group's strategy, the production activities relating to the Stringing segment have been concentrated, for Euro 3.1 million in relation to Trencher machines subject to operating leases and for Euro 0.4 million to operating leases for other production assets.

Similarly, the Net Financial Position as at 31 March 2024 was Euro 167.1 million, an increase of Euro 13.6 million compared to the value of Euro 153.5 million as at 31 December 2023. With reference to this, however, in the first quarter of 2024, the Group continued to pursue operating leasing operations for part of its fleet, which contributed to the change in composition of the Net financial position. More specifically, in terms of free cash flow, in the first three months of 2024, Tesmec generated:

• an increase in financial items related to IFRS 16 of approximately Euro 7.0 million;
• a negative free cash flow for changes in Working Capital of Euro 5.1 million;

• a negative free cash flow excluding changes in working capital of Euro 1.5 million;

for a total NFP change in balance of 13.6 million, as mentioned.

With reference to Tesmec's financial structure, the Net Financial Position as at 31 March 2024 can be broken down as follows:

• Euro 91.9 million of Operating Debt, entirely against consolidated Working Capital;
• Euro 46.2 million, the portion of which was due to IFRS 16 accounting standards, largely against leasing contracts for part of the Group's trencher machine fleet;
• Euro 29.0 million of Industrial Debt, the latter increased by Euro 1.5 million compared to the value as at 31 December 2023

Moreover, it should be noted that:

• the duration of the Net Financial Position, which includes medium/long-term payables of approximately Euro 83 million, together with lease contracts of Euro 46 million, appears more than adequate compared to the duration of the portion of medium/long-term Assets not directly covered by Shareholders' Equity, amounting to a total of approximately Euro 75 million.
• as at 31 March 2024, the Group's liquidity stood at Euro 26.7 million, a decrease compared to 31 December due, on the one hand, to invested capital dynamics and, on the other, to the gross stock of bank debt (reduced from Euro 234 million as at 31 December 2023 to Euro 223 million as at 31 March 2024) and leasing; this liquidity level is capable of guaranteeing, together with the cash generation expected in the rest of the year and with the ordinary business of negotiating and obtaining medium and long-term credit lines to partially replace those expiring, financial continuity over the next 12 months and the implementation of the development programmes underway.

B. Outlook for 2024

For the entire 2024 financial year, the Tesmec Group confirms its expectations of revenues growing by more than 10% compared to 2023, with an improving EBITDA margin and a decreasing Net Financial Position compared to 31 December 2023. These expectations are based on planned specific management, industrial and strategic initiatives, in part already launched and whose benefits will increasingly become apparent during the year, which reflect the management's objectives of increasing profitability, reducing financial debt and strengthening corporate governance.

5 Summary of income statement and balance sheet situation as at 31 March 2023

5.1 Restatement of the figures of the previous financial year

Starting from the end of the 2023 financial year, the Group recognises as financial expenses the costs incurred with credit institutions for the issue of guarantees required for the performance of multi-year work orders, previously shown as costs for services, as the Group believes that this classification more clearly represents the economic substance of the case, which is the financial commitment made by the Group for the completion of work orders in progress.

In order to allow an improved comparison of the financial statement data, in this document the data referring to the previous period (2023), when these costs were equal to Euro 453 thousand, have been reclassified.

5.2 Alternative performance measures

In this section, a number of Alternative Performance Measures not envisaged by IFRS (non-GAAP measures) and used by the directors in order to allow a better assessment of the Group's operating performance are illustrated. The Alternative Performance Measures are constructed exclusively from the Group's historical accounting data and are determined in accordance with the provisions of the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA/2015/1415 as per CONSOB Communication no. 92543 of 3 December 2015.

The Alternative Performance Measures shown below are not audited and should not be interpreted as indicators of the Group's future performance:

• EBITDA: it is represented by the operating income including amortisation/depreciation and can be directly inferred from the consolidated income statement.
• Net working capital: it is calculated as current assets net of current liabilities excluding financial assets and financial liabilities, and can be directly inferred from the consolidated statement of financial position.
• Net invested capital: it is calculated as net working capital plus fixed assets and other long-term assets less non-current liabilities and can be directly inferred from the consolidated statement of financial position.
• Group net financial indebtedness: this is a good indicator of the Tesmec Group's financial structure. It is calculated as the sum of cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets, non-current financial liabilities (including right-of-use liabilities) and fair value of hedging instruments.
• Net financial indebtedness pursuant to ESMA 32-382-1138 communication: it corresponds to the Group's net financial indebtedness as defined above and also includes trade payables and other non-current payables, which have a significant implicit or explicit financing component (e.g. trade payables with a maturity of more than 12 months), and any other non-interest-bearing loans (as defined in the "Guidelines on disclosure requirements under the Prospectus Regulation" published by ESMA on 4 March 2021 with the "ESMA 32- 382-1138" document and incorporated by CONSOB in its communication 5/21 of 29 April 2021).

Revenues by geographic area

The Group's turnover is mainly produced abroad (80.8%) and in particular in non-EU countries. Growth was observed in the Middle Eastern and African markets thanks to the contribution of sales in the Trencher sector, while the Rail and Energy-Automation sectors remain the reference sectors for the Italian market. The revenue analysis by area is indicated below with the comparison of the figures for the first quarter of 2024 with those for the first quarter of 2023. It is emphasised that the segmentation by geographic area is determined by the country where the customer is located, regardless of where project activities/sales are organised.

	Quarter ended 31 March
(Euro in thousands)	2024	% of revenues	2023	% of revenues	2024 vs 2023
Italy	11,386	19.2%	12,921	22.5%	(1,535)

Operating costs net of depreciation and amortisation	(50,295)	-84.8%	(49,987)	-87.0%	(308)

The table shows an increase in operating costs of Euro 308 thousand (0.6%). This increase in cost reflects:

▪ with regard to raw materials, consumables and services, the increase in sales, with different product mixes;

▪ with regard to results from Joint Ventures, the negative performance of the associate Condux Tesmec Inc.

EBITDA

As a result of the foregoing, EBITDA amounted to Euro 9,038 thousand, up compared to the figure recorded in the first quarter of 2023 when it was equal to Euro 7,500 thousand.

A restatement of the income statement figures representing the performance of EBITDA is provided below:

	Quarter ended 31 March
(Euro in thousands)	2024	% of revenues	2023 restated	% of revenues	2024 vs 2023
Operating income	3,072	5.2%	1,895	3.3%	1,177
+ Amortisation/depreciation	5,966	10.1%	5,605	9.8%	361
EBITDA	9,038	15.2%	7,500	13.0%	1,538

The increase in EBITDA derives from the mix of favourable sales, with higher added-value sectors confirming their profitability, and from an improved and more efficient management of the projects that contributed to prevent occurrences of negative one-offs.

Financial Management

	Quarter ended 31 March
(Euro in thousands)	2024	% of revenues	2023 restated	% of revenues	2024 vs 2023
Net financial income/expenses	(4,330)	-7.3%	(2,769)	-4.8%	(1,561)
Net foreign exchange gains/losses	163	0.3%	(1,570)	-2.7%	1,733
Fair value adjustment of financial instruments	27	0.0%	(101)	-0.2%	128
Portion of losses/(gains) from the valuation of equity investments using the equity method	-	0.0%	-	0.0%	-
Total net financial income/expenses	(4,140)	-7.0%	(4,440)	-7.7%	300

The net financial management result improved compared to the same period in the previous financial year by a total of Euro 300 thousand, reflecting:

• the negative impact of net financial income/expense of Euro 1,561 thousand due to the increase in rates together with a higher level of Group net financial indebtedness;
• a positive impact from exchange gains/losses of Euro 1,733 thousand, deriving from the favourable exchange rate trend as at 31 March 2024 compared to 31 December 2023, which resulted in net gains totalling Euro 163 thousand in the first quarter of 2024 (largely unrealised) compared to net losses of Euro 1,570 thousand in the first quarter of 2023 (also largely unrealised).

5.4 Income Statement by segment

Revenues by segment

The tables below show the income statement figures as at 31 March 2024 compared to those as at 31 March 2023, broken down by the three operating segments.

	Quarter ended 31 March
(Euro in thousands)	2024	% of revenues	2023 restated	% of revenues	2024 vs 2023
Energy	17,606	29.7%	13,935	24.2%	3,671
Trencher	34,244	57.7%	33,503	58.3%	741
Rail	7,483	12.6%	10,049	17.5%	(2,566)
Total Revenues	59,333	100.0%	57,487	100.0%	1,846

In the first three months of 2023, the Group recorded consolidated revenues of Euro 59,333 thousand, an increase of Euro 1,846 thousand (3.2%) compared to Euro 57,487 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

As regards the Energy sector, revenues amounted to Euro 17,606 thousand, an increase of approximately 26.3% compared to Euro 13,935 thousand recorded as at 31 March 2023 thanks to demand remaining positive in the Energy-Stringing segment and the significant increase in volumes in the Energy-Automation segment. More specifically, it should be noted that the Energy-Stringing segment achieved Revenues of Euro 10,583 thousand in the first quarter of 2024 compared to Euro 9,435 thousand in the same period of 2023 (+12.2%), while the Energy-Automation segment achieved Revenues of Euro 7,023 thousand, compared to Euro 4,500 thousand as at 31 March 2023 (+56.1%).

In detail, the turnover of the Trencher segment as at 31 March 2024 was Euro 34,244 thousand, slightly up compared to Euro 33,503 thousand as at 31 March 2023. This increase is mainly due to the positive performance in the Middle East and Africa, which more than offset the contraction recorded in the US and French markets.

The Rail segment recorded revenues of Euro 7,483 thousand, slightly down compared to Euro 10,049 thousand as at 31 March 2023. This result is mainly attributable to the gradual completion of older orders, while during the year new higher added-value orders will be implemented, delayed due to changes requested by the main Italian customer.

EBITDA by segment

The tables below show the income statement figures as at 31 March 2024 compared to those as at 31 March 2023, broken down by the three operating segments:

	Quarter ended 31 March
(Euro in thousands)	2024	% of revenues	2023 restated	% of revenues	2024 vs 2023
Energy	2,889	16.4%	2,149	15.4%	740
Trencher	4,724	13.8%	3,370	10.1%	1,354
Rail	1,425	19.0%	1,981	19.7%	(556)
EBITDA	9,038	15.2%	7,500	13.0%	1,538

This result is the combined effect of different trends in the three segments:

• Energy: EBITDA went from Euro 2,149 thousand as at 31 March 2023 to Euro 2,889 thousand as at 31 March 2024; this increase was made possible by (a) the higher turnover for the period and the related effect in terms of operating leverage and (b) an improved sales mix, especially in the Energy-Automation segment, which as a whole more than offset the decreasing contribution compared to 2023 of the Condux Tesmec JV, operating in the Energy-Stringing segment in the United States;
• Trencher: EBITDA increased from Euro 3,370 thousand as at 31 March 2023 to Euro 4,724 thousand as at 31 March 2024. This important improvement took place thanks to a significant improvement in the mix of machines sold as well as the progressive resolution of the profitability issues experienced in 2023 on the Australian market, while the margins relating to sales in the New Zealand market, although improving, may reach normalisation levels only later in the year;
• Rail: slight reduction in EBITDA, from Euro 1,981 thousand in the first quarter of 2023 to Euro 1,425 thousand in 2024. In terms of operating results, this reduction reflects what has already been noted in relation to Revenues, with expectations of improvement starting from the upcoming quarters, especially thanks to the development of the strategic diagnostic vehicles segment.

5.5 Balance sheet and financial profile

Information is provided below on the Group's main equity indicators as at 31 March 2024 compared to 31 December 2023. In particular, the following table shows the reclassified funding sources and uses of the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2024 and as at 31 December 2023:

Net working capital amounted to Euro 91,946 thousand, marking an increase of Euro 5,111 thousand (equal to 5.9%) compared to 31 December 2023. This performance is mainly due to the increase in the item "Trade receivables" for Euro 19,669 thousand, mainly due to sales in March.

B) Fixed assets

The table below shows the breakdown of "Fixed assets" as at 31 March 2024 and 31 December 2023:

(Euro in thousands)	As at 31 March 2024	As at 31 December 2023

Other equity investments	40	40
Fixed assets	127,314	119,622

Trade payables and other non-current payables	-		-
Group net financial indebtedness	167,097	8,915	153,497	6,323

The net financial indebtedness prior to the application of IFRS 16, as at 31 March 2024, is equal to Euro 120,857 thousand with an increase of Euro 6,607 thousand compared to the end of 2023. This change is attributable for Euro 5,111 thousand to a higher level of working capital (which grew mainly due to the increase in trade against sales for the period and for Euro 1.5 million to cash flow before changes in working capital and essentially corresponds to the loss for the period.

The net financial indebtedness of the Group as at 31 March 2024, including the effect of the application of the IFRS 16, increased by Euro 13,600 thousand compared to the end of 2023 attributable, in addition to what has already been commented previously, to the rent adjustment of the Grassobbio site, consistent with the strategy of concentrating production activities, and to Trenchers fleets' operating leases.

The details below show the breakdown of the changes:

• increase in current financial indebtedness of Euro 17,620 thousand due to the:
  • decrease in cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets of Euro 24,392 thousand;
  • decrease in current financial liabilities of Euro 8,573 thousand due to the effect of the short-term reclassification of the portions to be reimbursed in 2024 offset by the reimbursement of portions in the period;
• decrease in medium/long-term financial indebtedness of Euro 4,020 thousand relating to new leasing operations put in place on its own fleet, net of the short-term reclassification mentioned in the previous point.

Some existing loan agreements and bond issues contractually provide for the annual calculation of the financial covenants based on net financial indebtedness calculated on the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December and prior to the application of IFRS 16.

Business outlook

In the first quarter of 2024, Tesmec continued its strategy of geographic and sector diversification, in strategic markets with high vibrancy and growth prospects, through offering solutions for digitization and telecommunication network deployment, as well as mining development. In the Trencher sector, government measures are driving investment in infrastructure, including power grids and Fiber to the Home projects. In the Rail sector, investments in reducing congestion on road vehicles, increasing sustainable mobility, line diagnostics and maintenance with the aim of ensuring rail transport safety will increasingly be an important driver of prospective growth. In the Energy sector, the increasing shift to the use of renewable energy sources is confirmed, resulting in the adaptation of electricity grids to the new requirements.

For 2024, Tesmec Group confirms its expectations of growing revenues by more than 10% compared to 2023, with an improving EBITDA margin and a reduction of Net Financial Indebtness compared to December 31, 2023. These expectations are based on a plan of specific industrial and strategic initiatives, already launched and whose benefits will be seen during the year and which reflect Management's goal of increasing profitability, reducing financial debt and strengthening corporate governance.
