To the Shareholders of Servizi Italia S.p.A.
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Servizi Italia S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Servizi Italia Group as at December 31, 2023, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/2005.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Servizi Italia S.p.A. (the "Company") in accordance with the ethical requirements applicable under Italian law to the audit of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| Description of the key audit matter |
As of December 31, 2023, the Group records goodwill for the Italy area in its consolidated financial statements for Euro 51,668 thousand, primarily referring to the Servizi Italia CGU (the "Servizi Italia CGU"), which arose in previous years. During the year, no impairment losses were recorded. The notes to the consolidated financial statements in paragraphs "3.3 D. Goodwill" and "3.3 E. Impairment test" and in paragraph "3.3 N. Use of estimated values – Particularly significant accounting standards" report the disclosure on the Management assessment process relating primarily to the expected cash flows of the Servizi Italia CGU, the determination of the discount rate (WACC) and long-term growth rate (g-rate). In consideration of the significance of the amount of goodwill recorded in the financial statements, the subjectivity of the estimates relating to the determination of the cash flows of the Servizi Italia CGU and the key variables of the impairment model, as well as the many unpredictable factors that can influence the performance of the market in which the Servizi Italia CGU operates (Italy), we considered the impairment test of the goodwill of the Servizi Italia CGU as a key audit matter of the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023. Note 6.3 reports the information on goodwill, including a sensitivity analysis that illustrates the effects resulting from changes in the key variables used to carry out the impairment test. |

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/2005, and, within the terms established by law, for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Servizi Italia Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the conditions for the liquidation of the Company or the termination of the business or have no realistic alternatives to such choices.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the Servizi Italia Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
