doValue – Relazione semestrale consolidata al 30 giugno 2022

The Group's business

The doValue Group provides services to banks and investors over the entire life-cycle of loans and real estate assets.

doValue's services are remunerated under long term contracts based on a fee structure that includes fixed fees based on the volume of assets under management and variable fees linked to the performance of servicing activities, such as collections from NPL receivables or the sale of customers' real estate assets or the number of real estate and business information services provided.

The Group provides services in the following categories:

NPL Servicing	The administration, management and recovery of loans utilising in court and out-of court recovery processes for and on behalf of third parties for portfolios mainly consisting in non-performing loans. Within its NPL Servicing operations, doValue focuses on corporate bank loans of medium-large size and a high proportion of real estate collateral
Real Estate Servicing	The management of real estate assets on behalf of third parties, including: (1) Real estate collateral management: activities to develop or sell, either directly or through intermediaries, real estate assets owned by customers originally used to secure bank loans; (2) Real estate development: analysis, implementation and marketing of real estate development projects involving assets owned by customers; and (3) Property management: supervision, management and maintenance of customers' real estate assets, with the aim of maximising profitability through sale or lease
UTP Servicing	Administration, management and restructuring of loans classified as unlikely-to-pay, on behalf of third parties, with the aim of returning them to performing status; this activity is primarily carried out by the doNext subsidiaries pursuant to Art. 106 of the Consolidated Banking Act (financial intermediary) and doValue Greece, pursuant to Greek Law 4354/2015 (NPL Servicer under the license and supervision of the Bank of Greece)
Early Arrears and Performing Loans Servicing	The management of performing loans or loans past due by less than 90 days, not yet classified as non-performing, on behalf of third parties
Ancillary Services	These include: (1) Due Diligence: services for the collection and organisation of information in data room environments and advisory services for the analysis and assessment of loan portfolios for the preparation of business plans for Collection and Recovery activities; (2) Master Servicing and Structuring: administrative, accounting, cash management and reporting services in support of the securitisation of loans; structuring services for securitisation transactions as well as performing the role of authorised entity in securitisation transactions; and (3) Master Legal: management of legal proceedings at all levels in relation to loans, mainly non performing, managed by doValue on behalf of third parties

doValue, in its capacity as Special Servicer, has received the following ratings confirmed in February 2022: "RSS1- / CSS1-" by Fitch Ratings, and "Strong" by Standard & Poor's, which are the highest ratings assigned to Italian operators in the sector. They have been assigned to the two companies since 2008, before any other operator in this sector in Italy. doNext, as a Master Servicer, received an MS2+ rating from Fitch Ratings in February 2022, which is an indicator of high performance in overall Servicing management capability.

In July 2020, doValue received the Corporate credit rating BB with "Stable" outlook from Standard & Poor's and Fitch. This rating was confirmed by both agencies for doValue's senior bonds of €265.0 million and €300.0 million with maturity in 2025 and 2026, respectively.

In July 2022, Fitch confirmed the BB rating and improved the outlook to "Positive".

The rating was confirmed in June 2023 by both Fitch and Standard & Poor's.

KEY

11

Gross Book Value EoP: indicates the book value of the loans under management at the end of the reference period for the entire scope of the Group, gross of any potential write-downs due to expected loan losses.

doValue – Consolidated half-year report at June 30, 2023

Collections for period: used to calculate fees for the purpose of determining revenues from the servicing business, they illustrate the ability to extract value from the portfolio under management.

LTM collections Stock/GBV (Gross Book Value) EoP Stock: the ratio between total gross LTM collections on the Stock portfolio under management at the start of the reference year and the end-period GBV of that portfolio.

Group Staff FTE/Total FTE: the ratio between the number of employees who perform support activities and the total number of full-time employees of the Group. The indicator illustrates the efficiency of the operating structure and the focus on management activities.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) of the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company: together with other relative profitability indicators, they highlight changes in operating performance and provide useful information regarding the Group's financial performance. These data are calculated at the end of the period.

Non-recurring items: items generated in extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company excluding non-recurring items: are defined as EBITDA and Profit (loss) for the period attributable to core operations, excluding all items connected with extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of entities, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA Margin: obtained by dividing EBITDA by Gross Revenues.

EBITDA Margin excluding non-recurring items: obtained by dividing EBITDA excluding non-recurring items by Gross revenues.

Earnings per share: calculated as the ratio between net profit for the period and the number of outstanding shares at the end of the period.

Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items: the calculation is the same as that for earnings per share, but the numerator differs from net profit for the period excluding non-recurring items net of the associated tax effects.

Capex: investments in property, plant, equipment and intangibles.

EBITDA – Capex: calculated as EBITDA net of investments in property, plant and equipment and intangibles. Together with other relative profitability indicators, it highlights changes in operating performance and provides an indication on the Group's ability to generate cash.

Net Working Capital: this is represented by receivables for fees invoiced and accruing, net of payables to suppliers for invoices accounted for and falling due in the period.

Net Financial Position: this is calculated as the sum of cash, cash equivalents and highly-liquid securities, net of amounts due to banks and bonds issued.

Leverage: this is the ratio between the Net Financial Position and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items for the last 12 months (possibly adjusted pro-forma to take account of significant transactions from the start of the reference year). It represents an indicator of the Group's debt level.

Group Results at June 30, 2023

Portfolio under management

At June 30, 2023, the Group's Managed Portfolio (GBV) in the five core markets in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus amounted to €117.2 billion, with a slight decrease of 2.7% comparing with the balance of €120.5 billion at December 31, 2022.

New flows amounted to approximately 4.5 billion, of which roughly 30% related to the Italian market.

The following chart shows the geographical breakdown of the GBV: in particular for each country the share managed at June 30, 2023 is highlighted.

The evolution of the Managed Portfolio, which includes only onboarded portfolios, in the first semester of 2023 was characterised by contracts related to new customers totalling €2.5 billion, of which approximately €0.9 billion in the Hellenic Region, roughly €0.7 billion in Iberia and about €0.9 billion in Italy.

In addition to the flows listed above, a further €2.0 billion comes from existing customers through onboarded flow contracts.

With respect to the decrease in GBV, during the period, disposals and write-offs totalled €3.6 billion and €1.7 billion, respectively.

The Managed Portfolio is to be considered in further growth with respect to the picture described above, due to new mandates acquired and currently in the onboarding phase for a total of approximately €3.6 billion, related to portfolios managed by leading institutions operating in the Hellenic Region.

Group collections for the period amounted to €2.4 billion, down by approximately 14% on the same period of the previous year (€2.8 billion). The decrease is essentially due to the exit of the Sareb portfolio in Spain. Excluding the effect of the exit of the Sareb portfolio, the figure for the period would compare with €2.2 billion in the first half of 2022, with a 10% improvement in performance.

The geographical breakdown of collections for 2023 is as follows: €0.9 billion in Italy, €0.6 billion in Iberia and €0.9 billion in the Hellenic Region.

Performance

The first half of 2023 were persistently affected by international tension, inflationary pressures and increases in interest rates.

In this complex framework, the doValue Group recorded gross revenues of €229.2 million, down 16% from €271.2 million at June 30, 2022. Excluding the contribution of the Sareb portfolio, hence on a likefor-like basis, the first semester of 2022 revenues would amount to €233.6 million, a decidedly lower drop, equal to about 2%. It should be noted the good performance in the second quarter which recorded gross revenues of €127.8 million, an increase of around 26% compared to the amount at end for the first quarter. Geographically, the contribution from the Hellenic Region increased, while that of Iberia (mainly as a result of the exit of the Sareb portfolio) and the domestic sector decreased.

Servicing revenues of NPE and REO assets amounted to €203.0 million (€246.4 million at June 30, 2022), down 18%. On a product basis, NPE revenues amounted to €175.3 million (€207.1 million in the first half 2022), down by approximately 15%, while REO revenues totalled €27.7 million and, compared to €39.3 million in the same period of the previous year, show a 30% decrease. As mentioned earlier, these trends are impacted by the partial contribution of the Sareb portfolio during the year which was offboarded between July and October 2022. By comparing servicing revenues, excluding the Sareb portfolio, the indicator would compare to €208.9 million in the first three months of 2022, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3%.

Co-investment revenues, equal to €0.7 million, are substantially in line with the comparative period and are represented by the revenues of the ABS securities of the Romeo SPV, Mercutio Securitization and Mexico Finance securitisations of which doValue holds 5%.

On the other hand, the contribution of ancillary and other revenues is more significant (€25.5 million) and a slight increase compared to the €24.0 million balance at June 30, 2022. It originates mainly from income for data processing and provision services and other services closely related to the abovementioned servicing activities, such as due diligence, master and structuring services and legal services, as well as services provided in the Rental, Real Estate Development and diversified Advisory and Portfolio Management areas.

These revenues accounted for 11% of total gross revenues for the period, compared to approximately 9% in the same period of the previous year.

NPE revenues	175,294	207,051	(31,757)	(15.3)%

Net revenues	207,972	237,884	(29,912)	(12.6)%

(€/000)

Net revenues decreased by 13% to €208.0 million, compared to approximately €237.9 million in the same period of the previous year.

NPE outsourcing fees fell sharply by 38% to €7.4 million (€11.8 million in the first half 2022), with a decrease in all segments, as a result of lower collections through the external network. This decrease in terms of cost is more than proportional to the decline in the related revenues, thereby indicating a partial recovery of efficiency in this segment.

REO outsourcing fees decreased to €5.5 million (€14.7 million in 2022), due to the combination of two opposing effects: the decrease in the managed portfolio in Spain and the stability of turnover in Greece due to the ongoing activities carried out by the subsidiary doValue Greece Real Estate.

Ancillary outsourcing fees amounted to €8.4 million compared to €6.8 million in the same period of 2022, up 23%.

The impact of outsourcing fees on revenues fell from 12% in June 2022 to 9% in June 2023 as a result of the Group's policy which increased the use of in-house personnel in the recovery of receivables under management.

Operating expenses amounted to €128.1 million compared to €155.5 million in the first half 2022. The incidence on gross revenues is 56% compared to 57% of 2022. Administrative expenses amounted to €33.5 million (compared to €48.4 million at June 30, 2022). The decrease of approximately 31% shows a general reduction in all segments, particularly in Iberia, as a result of the restructuring that began in 2022. Staff expenses amounted to €94.6 million, down 12% from €107.1 million in same period of the previous year.

As a result of the trends described earlier, EBITDA stood at €79.8 million compared to €82.4 million in 2022, with a percentage impact of 35% on revenues in line with June 2022.

In the first half 2023 were recognised €53 thousand of non-recurring items for strategic consultancies; consequently, EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounts to €79.9 million, compared to €83.7 million at June 2022 when these items not directly related to the business amounted to €1.3 million.

The Group's EBIT amounted to €35.2 million compared to €49.4 million in the same period of the previous year.

EBT amounted to €18.5 million compared to €34.8 million at June 30, 2022. This item includes the financial costs related to the two bond issues and to the Earn-out of the Greek subsidiary doValue Greece, the fair value difference related to minority co-investments in securitisation vehicles where the Group is the Servicer, and other minor items related to the application of IFRS 16.

EBT	18,502	34,803	(16,301)	(46.8)%

EBT includes additional non-recurring items totalling €12.7 million (€1.8 million in 2022), which refer to costs related to the early retirement incentive that affected all regions (especially Spain, following the exit of the Sareb portfolio) and to the negative interests accrued on the Earn-out for the acquisition of doValue Spain.

Net write-downs on property, plant and equipment and intangibles amounted to €32.6 million and are in line with the balance at June 30, 2022 (€31.0 million).

This item mainly includes the amortisation of the doValue Spain and doValue Greece servicing contracts for a total of €16.6 million which are classified in the balance sheet as intangible assets.

The total balance also includes the amortisation of right-of-use assets deriving from the recognition of leases in accordance with IFRS 16 for a total of €7.2 million. The remaining part of amortisation primarily concerns software licenses for technology investments made by the Group during the period aimed at upgrading the IT platform.

Net provisions for risks and charges amounted to €12.9 million, compared to €2.3 million in the first half 2022, and were mainly related to provisions for early retirement incentives, legal disputes and prudential provisions on receivables.

Net financial interest and commissions amounted to €15.4 million, in line with €14.1 million at June 30, 2022. This item mainly reflects the costs associated with the two bonds issued for the acquisitions made in Spain and Greece, implementing the Group's internationalisation strategy.

Income tax for the period amounted to €11.4 million, compared to €8.2 million in the first half 2022, due to the income mix developed during the period.

The profit for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company excluding nonrecurring items came to €16.9 million, compared to €23.3 at June 30, 2022. Including non-recurring items, the loss for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company is €4.3 million, compared to a profit of €22.3 million of June 2022.

SEGMENT REPORTING

doValue's international expansion in the large market of Southern Europe, with the acquisition first of doValue Spain and later of doValue Greece, has led management to consider it appropriate to evaluate and analyse the business with a geographical segmentation.

This classification is tied to specific factors of the entities included in each category and to the type of market. The geographical regions thus identified were: Italy, Hellenic Region and Iberia. It should be noted that the Italy Region includes €1.2 million linked to the cost of the resources allocated to the Group and to the cost relating to the employment relationship with the previous Chief Executive Officer.

Based on these criteria, the following table shows the revenues and EBITDA (excluding non-recurring items) for the period for each of these business segments.

Gross revenues recorded in the first half 2023 amounted to €229.2 million (€271.2 million in June 2022) and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounted to €79.9 million (€83.7 million in June 2022). Italy contributed 36% to the Group's gross revenues, Hellenic Region 48% and Iberia 16%.

The EBITDA margin excluding non-recurring items in Italy was 27% (28% excluding charges of €1.2 million mentioned above), 53% in the Hellenic Region and a negative 4% in Iberia.

Group Financial Position

INTRODUCTION

The balance sheet figures have been reclassified from a management perspective, in line with the representation of the reclassified income statement and the net financial position of the Group.

At the end of this Directors' Interim Report on the Group, in accordance with the same presentation approach for the income statement, we have included a reconciliation between the condensed balance sheet reported below and the table reported in the consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and liquid securities are down by €37.5 million on the previous year end as a result of the financial trend of the period described in the note to the Net Financial Position.

Financial assets amount to €52.0 million, a decrease of €6.0 million compared to December 31, 2022 (€58.0 million).

The item is broken down in the following table.

(€/000)

Financial assets	6/30/2023	12/31/2022	Change €	Change %
At fair value through profit or loss	41,056	42,323	(1,267)	(3.0)%

L&R with customers	1,031	1,057	(26)	(2.5)%
Total	51,988	57,984	(5,996)	(10.3)%

Financial assets "at fair value through profit or loss" decreased by an overall €1,3 milioni. Specifically, debt securities were substantially stable, as a result of the combined effect of -€0.2 million originated from fair value gains and losses and €0.3 million relating to the subscription by the subsidiary doNext of the notes of a vehicle for new finance operations. CIU units relating to the reserved closed-end alternative securities fund Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II), decreased by €1.1 million due to the cancellation and distribution of some units. Also classified under this component is the fair value attributed to the nonhedging derivative on BidX1 and representative of the value of the residual call option.

Financial assets "at fair value through OCI", which include the non-controlling interests held in the Brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. (11.46%) and in the Irish proptech company BidX1 (17.7%), shows a reduction in valuation of €0.3 million attributable exclusively to the latter company.

Financial assets "at amortised cost" decreased by €4.4 million attributable to the sale to third parties, completed in January 2023, of the limited recourse loan for a specific business activity, following the termination of the latter by mutual consent.

Property, plant and equipment amounted to €54.4 million, down by €4.8 million on December 31, 2022. The decrease is mainly due to the amortisation charge of the period.

Intangible assets went from €526.9 million to €507.6 million, down €19.3 million. The decrease is mainly attributable to the combined effect of reductions of €24.5 million for amortisation and increases of €5.2 million related to software purchases (including the portion classified as assets under development and payments on account).

The following is a breakdown of intangible assets:

(€/000)

Intangible assets	6/30/2023	12/31/2022	Change €	Change %
Software	43,630	44,441	(811)	(1.8)%
Brands	22,623	24,581	(1,958)	(8.0)%
Assets under development and payments on account	8,999	10,791	(1,792)	(16.6)%
Goodwill	236,897	236,897	-	n.s.
Long-term servicing contracts	195,465	210,178	(14,713)	(7.0)%
Total	507,614	526,888	(19,274)	(3.7)%

In particular, the most significant portion of intangible assets is due to Group's two acquisitions, relating respectively to doValue Spain and its subsidiaries, carried out at the end of June 2019, and the business combination of doValue Greece completed in June 2020, as summarised below:

Long-term servicing contracts	35,404	174,776	210,180
Total	197,049	309,699	506,748

The tax assets listed below amounted to €115.7 million at June 30, 2023, compared to €118.2 million at December 31, 2022. The €2.5 million decrease is mainly due to releases of "Deferred tax assets", partially offset by higher VAT assets and withholding taxes included in "Other tax receivables".

Total	115,739	118,226	(2,487)	(2.1)%

The breakdown of tax liabilities equal to €60.7 million, is also shown below, which shows a decrease of €7.1 million compared to the 2022 balance of €67.8 million. The change of the period is mainly due to the decrease of €5.1 million in deferred tax liabilities related to the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) of doValue Spain and doValue Greece to which must be added the reduction in the tax payable for the period (€1.8 million).

(€/000)

Tax liabilities	6/30/2023	12/31/2022	Change €	Change %
Taxes for the period	8,670	10,478	(1,808)	(17.3)%

Other tax payables	6,136	6,316	(180)	(2.8)%
Total	60,712	67,797	(7,085)	(10.5)%

At June 30, 2023, financial liabilities – due to banks/bondholders went from €564.1 million to €575.7 million, up by €11.6 million.

This increase is due, on the one hand, to the portion of accrued unpaid interest and to the temporary use of a 12-month revolving credit line of €15 million, and, on the other hand, to the reduction of €5.0 million deriving from two buy-back transactions of existing bonds which were concluded by repurchasing part of the debt on the market at a discount so as to reduce the total amount of liabilities by more than the required financial outlay, with the consequent recognition of an income equal to €0.5 million.

At June 30, 2023, the residual liability at amortised cost for the two bonds issued was as follows:

• 2020-2025 bond with a nominal value of €264.0 million, interest rate 5.0%: €263.8 million;

• 2021-2026 bond with a nominal value of €296.0 million, interest rate 3.4%: €296.9 million.

Other financial liabilities at the end of the first semester of 2023 are detailed below:

(€/000)

Other financial liabilities	6/30/2023	12/31/2022	Change €	Change %
Lease liabilities	45,104	49,938	(4,834)	(9.7)%
Earn-out	49,096	44,649	4,447	10.0%
Put option on non-controlling interests	20,889	21,894	(1,005)	(4.6)%
Other financial liabilities	-	4,380	(4,380)	(100.0)%
Total	115,089	120,861	(5,772)	(4.8)%

"Lease liabilities" include the discounted value of future lease payments, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16.

The liability for the Earn-out refers (i) to the doValue Spain operation in the amount of €21.1 million, which represents a portion of the acquisition price, which has been supplemented of the interest component of €3.6 million and (ii) to the acquisition of doValue Greece for €28.0 million that is related to the achievement of some EBITDA targets within a ten-year time frame and the first payments of which will not be due before 2024.

The liability for "put option on non-controlling interests" regards the purchase option for the residual noncontrolling interests in doValue Spain with expiry extended to the end of September 2023 through the agreement signed on June 26, which also defined the exercise price of the option.

At June 30, 2023, "Other financial liabilities" had a nil balance followng the termination of the limited recourse loan for a specific business activity in January 2023, following the sale of the related loan recognised under financial assets.

Provisions for risks and charges amount to €32.8 million (€37.7 million at the end of 2022), with a reduction of €4.9 million substantially referred to the release of the the provision for "Curing fees" pursuant to IFRS 15 on variable fees.

Total	32,792	37,655	(4,863)	(12.9)%

Other liabilities went from €75.8 million to €62.8 million with a decrease of €12.9 million mainly due to the release of the portion referring to first half 2023 of the deferred income on the advance payment of servicing fee and other residual items.

Shareholders' equity attributable to Shareholders of the Parent Company amounted to €86.5 million, compared to €136.6 million at December 31, 2022.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

Trade payables	(63,603)	(57,966)	(70,381)
Total	103,243	170,144	129,762

The balance for the period was €103.2 million, a marked improvement compared to €129.8 million in December 2022. In terms of revenues over the last 12 months, it accounts for 20% down compared to the 23% at the end of 2022. This trend is particularly appreciable if considered within the current macroeconomic framework.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

H	Net financial position (E)+(F)+(G)	(478,999)	(461,164)	(429,859)

At June 30, 2023, the net financial position amounted to €479.0 million, compared to €429.9 million at the end of 2022.

The trend for the period was characterised by planned investments of approximately €5.4 million, mainly in Italy, the working capital trends discussed earlier, as well as the payment of taxes of €12.7 million (largely attributable to the Hellenic Region) and financial expenses related to the two bond issues for €11.7 million. It should be noted that dividends of approximately €47.5 million were paid during the period.

Therefore, "Cash" amounted to €96.7 million, compared to €134.3 million at the end of 2022, as a result of the above trends. Moreover, at period end, the Group had available credit lines of €133.5 million, bringing total liquidity (cash plus available lines) to approximately €230 million.

The net current financial position was positive at €72.0 million (€124.4 million at the end of 2022), reflecting a balanced overall capital structure.

With respect to its debt structure, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, doValue or one of its affiliates may repurchase or acquire an interest in its outstanding debt securities, whether such securities are traded above or below their nominal value, using its cash or in exchange for other securities or other consideration, in any case through market purchases or through privately negotiated or other transactions.

Despite the ongoing turbulence which affected the reference markets also in this quarter of the year, the Group's net financial position was not significantly impacted, also considering the structure of the collection deadlines scheduled by the waterfall that, especially domestically, envisage payment terms close to the end of the quarter.

(*) It should be noted that for the sole purpose of better representing the dynamics involving the net working capital, a reclassification was made of the movements related to the "Advance to Suppliers" and to the "Contractual Advance from ERB" from item "Changes in other assets/liabilities" to item "Changes in Net Working Capital (NWC)" for a total of €20.2 as at Jun-23; €11.3m in Jun-22 and €17.9m in Dec-22

The Operating Cash Flow for the period was positive at €23.4 million, up on the corresponding figure of the prior period which stood at negative €6.0 million. This figure is the result of the profit margins achieved during the period, with EBITDA of €79.8 million and capital expenditure of €5.4 million following the implementation of the technological transformation programme outlined in the latest business plan. The cash-conversion with respect to EBITDA is equal to 93%, considerably up compared to 88% in June 2022. This confirms the Group's significant ability to convert its operating margins into cash, despite the abovementioned investment levels.

The change in net working capital, in the reference period, is positive with a result of €6.3 million (compared with a cash absorption of €48.8 million in June 2022). This is the effect of a specific intervention plan which tends to extract value from the invested capital in the form of receivables.

"Changes in other assets/liabilities" amounting to -€52.0 million, mainly includes payments related to voluntary exits as well as items related to periodic rents treated according to the IFRS 16 methodology and to advanced payments for some residential projects under development in the Iberian area.

Taxes paid amounted to €14.2 million and essentially refer to direct taxes paid in the Hellenic area and in Italy (€6.0 million in June 2022).

Financial charges paid amounted to €11.7 million (€12.7 million in June 2022), reflecting the average cost (at a fixed rate) incurred following the bonds issued to support the Group's international growth process. These transactions allowed the Group to replace credit lines with a pre-established repayment plan, including interest and principal, with instruments with bullet repayment for the principal and half-yearly payment of coupons. This allowed for a greater balance of sources, extending deadlines.

The dynamics described above therefore determine a negative Free Cash Flow of €2.4 million against the value of -€24.7 million in the comparative period, denoting a better financial dynamic of the Group even in a particularly difficult macroeconomic context.

"(Investments)/disinvestments in financial assets" were positive for €0.8 million and mainly included the collection of the units of the Italian Recovery Fund alternative reserved investment fund.

It should be noted that in the current period the payment of approximately €47.5 million in dividends was made, consisting almost entirely of the amounts approved by the last Shareholders' Meeting.

Therefore, the net cash flow of the period was negative by €49.1 million, compared to a negative amount of €59.4 million in the first half 2022. It should be noted that, excluding the disbursement of dividends, the cash flow generated would have been substantially neutral, also including the buy-back operations of the bond issues amounting to approximately €5 million.

With regard to the events underlying the agreement reached with the Tax Authority in 2021 by the subsidiary doValue Spain SA, on May 11, 2023 the International Court of Arbitration of the l'International Chamber of Commerce issued the final award which condemns Altamira Asset Management Holdings, S.L. to reimburse the amount of approximately €28 million, plus interest, in favour of the doValue Group. Such amounts were paid in 2021 by doValue Spain to the Spanish tax authority in the context of the inspection

launched in connection to facts and events occurred prior to the acquisition performed by doValue which took place in 2019.

TAX AUDIT IN ITALY

With respect to the formal closure of the tax audit that the Parent Company has received by the Italian Tax Authority concerning the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, prior to the listing, at the end of April 2023, a tax assessment was received in connection with the 2016 finding and for which it filed a tax settlement proposal to activate the adequate protection measures and demonstrate, supported by a pool of professionals, the reasons for the correctness of the own conduct.

With reference to the finding concerning the 2017 fiscal year, against which until now no tax assessment has been received and therefore no protection measures have been activated, the Parent Company is waiting for possible final findings of the carried-out tax audit expected by the end of 2023.

OTHER RELEVANT ACTIVITIES

Since the beginning of 2023, doValue has been active on several fronts. A summary of all the main initiatives and key mandates is shown below.

• MSCI ESG Research: in March 2023, MSCI ESG Research has upgraded the Group's MSCI ESG rating from "AA" to "AAA". MSCI ESG Research measures a company's resilience to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") risks on a long-term horizon. The upgrade by MSCI ESG Research is a tangible example of doValue's commitment in adopting best practices in the interest of its stakeholders, in particular clients, capital providers (equity holders and bond holders), employees, and the broader social and environmental ecosystem in which the Company operates.
• Project Souq: in February 2023, doValue completed a €630 million GBV secondary portfolio disposal in Greece to Intrum. The portfolio has been carved out from the Cairo I and Cairo II HAPS securitisation vehicles, which have been managed by doValue since their creation. The disposal allows doValue to accelerate its collection activity in Greece (for which it received a Collection fee in Q1 2023) whilst obtaining the long-term servicing mandate on the dismissed portfolio.
• Fino 1 GACS securitisation: in January 2023, thanks to the strong performance of doValue in the management of the securitisation Fino 1, in the context of which the GACS guarantee was granted by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Class A senior notes of this securitisation have been repaid.
• Efesto Fund: between December 2022 and January 2023, the Efesto Fund has received commitments for UTP contributions for an aggregate amount of €1.1 billion (partially already onboarded as of March 31st, 2023), including sizeable commitments from two primary Italian banks.
• Bond buy-back: as part of an exercise to optimize its liabilities and make better use of available cash, doValue bonds were purchased and subsequently cancelled, for a nominal value of approximately €5.0 million.
• doValue Spain Put Option: the expiry date of the put option on the minority interest of 15% in doValue Spain was extended from the end of June 2023 to September 2023.

Significant events after the end of the period

Moody's Analytics rating: In July 2023, Moody's Analytics upgraded its ESG rating to "Robust" from "Limited".

Outlook for operations

In 2023, the Group will pursue the goals of its 2022-2024 Business Plan, leveraging on the results achieved in 2022. In particular, it is expected that:

• activities in Italy will continue in line with 2022, with substantially stable performance expected year on year, in line with the GBV under management;
• activities in the Hellenic Region will be supported by an acceleration of collections also driven by potential disposals of portfolios on the secondary market on behalf of customers, which should lead to a marginal improvement in year-on-year performance;
• activities in Iberia will fully reflect the expiry of the Sareb contract and the off-boarding of the related portfolio completed in October 2022, offset by the reduction in costs deriving from the reorganisation of the Spanish activities, which has already affected the second half of 2022.

Main risks and uncertainties

The financial position of the doValue Group is adequately scaled to meet its needs, considering the activity carried out and the results achieved.

The financial policy pursued is aimed at fostering the stability of the Group, which in view of its operations does not currently or prospectively intend to engage in speculative investment activity.

The main risks and uncertainties, considering the Group's business, are essentially connected to the macroeconomic situation which could have consequences on the general trend of the economy and on the generation of non-performing exposures. Furthermore, elements of uncertainty remain linked to the effect inflationary dynamics and the increase in interest rates that could have repercussions on the ability of debtors to repay their exposures.

It should also be noted that the future evolution and the related effects, on global macroeconomic prospects and on global geopolitical stability, deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict are still unpredictable.

At the date of approval of these Financial Statements, considering the high degree of uncertainty linked to these extraordinary circumstances, the actual impacts, direct and indirect, on the Group's business cannot be estimated.

GOING CONCERN

In order to express an opinion on the going concern assumption used to prepare this Consolidated Interim Report, the risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed were carefully assessed:

• in particular, account was taken of the forecasts regarding the macroeconomic scenarios impacted by the combination of the inflation, the increase in interest rates, the deterioration of the economic climate, geopolitical risks and the uncertainties relating to future developments;
• in the sustainability assessment of assets at June 30, 2023, account was taken of the Group's solid capital base, financial position and confirmed ability to generate cash flows, as reflected in the Group's 2022-2024 Business plan, as well as the characteristics of doValue's specific business model, which is capable of responding flexibly to the various phases of the economic cycle;
• finally, account was taken of assets under management, as well as the contribution of new portfolio management contracts recorded in the first half 2023.

From the analyses carried out and on the basis of the assumptions reported above, no uncertainties have emerged in relation to events or circumstances which, considered individually or as a whole, could give rise to doubts regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Other information

DISCLOSURE ON THE OPT-OUT OPTION

We inform you that doValue S.p.A. has adopted the simplified rules provided for in Articles 70, paragraph 8, and 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consob Issuers Regulation no. 11971/1999, as subsequently amended, and has therefore exercised the option to derogate from compliance with the obligations to publish the information documents provided for in Articles 70, paragraph 6, and 71, paragraph 1, of that Regulation on the occasion of significant mergers, spin-offs, capital increases through the contribution of assets in kind, acquisitions and sales.

General information

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

These half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. In accordance with paragraph 10 of mentioned IAS 34, the Group has opted to provide condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements do not provide all the information required in the annual consolidated Financial Statements. For this reason it is necessary to read the half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements together with the consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2022.

The preparation, the measurement and consolidation criteria and the accounting standards adopted to prepare these condensed consolidated Financial Statements are compliant with the accounting standards adopted in the preparation of the consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2022, with the exception of the adoption of new or amended standards of the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as set out in the paragraph "New accounting standards". The adoption of these amendments and interpretations did not have significant impacts on the Group's financial position or performance.

These half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements are accompanied by the Certification of the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to Article 154-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and have undergone a limited audit by the auditing firm EY S.p.A..

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using the euro as the accounting currency, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 5(2) of Legislative Decree No 38/2005, and consist of:

• the consolidated Financial Statements, which include the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated income statement, the statement of consolidated comprehensive income, the statement of changes in consolidated Shareholders' Equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows (prepared using the "indirect method");
• the Illustrative Notes;

and are accompanied by the Directors' Interim report on the Group.

In the consolidated balance sheet, assets and liabilities are classified on a "current/non-current" basis with assets classified as held for sale and liabilities included in a disposal group classified as held for sale presented separately. Current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are those that are expected to be realised, sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; current liabilities are those that are expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle.

The consolidated income statement presents a classification of costs by nature, while a separate statement has been prepared for the statement of comprehensive income.

The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method, with cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities presented separately.

The amounts stated are expressed in thousands of euros unless otherwise specified.

These Financial Statements have been prepared in application of the framework established by IAS 1 and the specific accounting standards approved by the European Commission and illustrated in the Section "Main items of the financial statements" of these Illustrative Notes.

The half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the provisions of IAS 1, and in compliance with the principles of accrual accounting, the relevance and materiality of accounting information and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form and with a view to fostering consistency with future presentations.

The accounting policies adopted in these half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2023 for the recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of assets and liabilities and the

recognition of costs and revenues have not been updated from those adopted in the preparation of the consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

No exceptions were made to the application of IAS/IFRS accounting standards.

Going concern

In preparing the consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2023, the Directors consider the going concern assumption appropriate as, in their opinion, despite the macroeconomic context is still affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the continuing of inflation and the resulting in rising interest rates and uncertainties related to future developments, no uncertainties have emerged related to events or circumstances that, considered individually or as a whole, could give rise to doubts regarding the business as a going concern. The assessment took into account the Group's equity, financial position as well as the outlook of the operations; the possible presence of events or conditions linked to the climate, which may have an impact on the Group as a going concern was also assessed, also noting the absence of such cases. Please also refer to the specific paragraph of the Directors' Interim Report on the Group.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ESTIMATES

The application of accounting policies sometimes involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recorded in the Financial Statements and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities. For the purposes of the assumptions underlying estimates, we consider all information available at the date of preparation of the Financial Statements and any assumptions considered reasonable in the light of past experience and current conditions in the financial markets.

More specifically, estimation processes were adopted to support the book value of certain items recognised in the consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2023, as required by accounting standards. These processes are essentially based on estimates of future recoverability of the values recognised and were conducted on a going concern basis. These processes supported the book values recognised as at June 30, 2023. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly.

In view of the presence of uncertainty in the macroeconomic and market environment, the assumptions made, even if reasonable, might not hold in future scenarios in which the Group may operate. Accordingly, future results may differ from the estimates made for the purpose of preparing the Financial Statements, with the consequent probable need to make adjustments that currently cannot be foreseen or estimated to the book value of the assets and liabilities recognised in the Financial Statements. Moreover, the uncertainties of the future macroeconomic framework in which the Group operates have required a careful analysis and weighting of the new context in the parameters and information used in the valuation models of the recoverable amount of the Group's assets. These estimates and valuations are therefore difficult and inevitably involve elements of uncertainty, even in the presence of stable macroeconomic conditions.

The following sections discuss the key accounting policies for the purposes of providing a true and fair representation of the Group's financial position and performance, both with regard to the materiality of the values in the Financial Statements and the considerable judgement required in performing the assessments.

Estimation of accruing servicing revenues and the effects of the application of servicing contracts

Sales revenues associated with servicing contracts for the recovery of receivables managed under mandate are recognised on an accruals basis according to the Group's activities over time, using IT procedures and complex accounting processes that take account of the different contractual terms of each mandate. Servicing contracts contain numerous clauses specifying the rights and duties of the Group in relations with the participating clients, which can generate income on the one hand and contingent liabilities on the other connected with the possibility of non-performance of contractual obligations.

The amount of the estimated variable consideration is included in the transaction price in total or only to the extent that it is highly probable that when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, a significant downward adjustment of the amount of the cumulative revenues recorded will not occur.

At the end of the period, accrued revenues that have not yet been manifestly accepted by the customer are recognised. Depending on the terms of contract and the established practice, that acceptance may take the form of the issuance of an invoice or an explicit notice.

At the date of the preparation of these Financial Statements, the portion of servicing revenues without such manifest acceptance amounted to 29% of total amounts to be invoiced as at June 30, 2023, and 18% of the aggregate "Total Revenues" of the consolidated income statement.

In addition, any certain or contingent liabilities must be prudentially determined in order to assess compliance with the obligations set out in the servicing agreement, taking due account of natural differences in interpretation of contractual clauses in the context of actual recovery operations.

Determination of the fair value of financial assets

In the presence of financial instruments not listed on active markets or illiquid and complex instruments, it is necessary to adopt appropriate valuation processes that require the use of a certain degree of judgement concerning the choice of valuation models and the related input parameters, which may sometimes not be observable on the market.

A degree of subjectivity is present in the valuation on whether it is possible to observe or not certain parameters and the consequent classification in correspondence with the levels of the fair value hierarchy. With particular reference to valuation methods and the unobservable inputs that may be used in fair value measurements, please see the specific section "Information on fair value".

Estimation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets

The Group has significant deferred tax assets mainly arising from temporary differences between the date on which certain costs are recognised in the income statement and the date on which the same costs can be deducted. Deferred tax assets are written down to the extent that they are deemed unrecoverable given the outlook for performance and the resulting expected taxable income, taking due account of tax legislation, which allows those assets to be converted into tax credits under certain conditions, regardless of the Group's ability to generate future profits. In the "Assets" section on tax assets and tax liabilities in these Illustrative Notes, information is provided on the nature and the assessments conducted with regard to the recognition of deferred tax assets.

Estimation of provisions for risks and charges

The complexity of the situations that underline the existing disputes, along with the difficulties in the interpretation of applicable law, makes it difficult to estimate the liabilities that may result when pending lawsuits are settled. The valuation difficulties concern what may be due and how much time will elapse before liabilities materialise and are particularly evident if the procedure launched is in the initial phase and/or its preliminary investigation is in progress.

Information about the Group's main risk positions related to legal disputes (revocatory action and pending lawsuits) and tax disputes, is provided in the "Liabilities" section of the Illustrative Notes dedicated to Provisions for risks and charges.

Estimation of impairment losses on intangible assets

At least on an annual basis, upon preparing the Financial Statements, the absence of lasting impairment losses on intangible assets is verified. This impairment test is usually conducted by determining the value in use or the fair value of the assets and verifying that the book value of the intangible asset is less than the greater of the respective value in use and the fair value less costs to sell.

Impairment testing for cash generating units (CGUs), to which almost all intangible assets with a definite life and goodwill have been attributed, is conducted with reference to value in use obtained through the application of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), under which the value of a CGU is a function of the cash flows that it will be able to generate looking forward, discounted using a specific rate. A similar procedure is used to estimate the recoverability of the values recognised for active long-term servicing contracts, which assess the business plans of the portfolios under management in order to verify their consequent capacity to generate adequate cash flows.

However, note that the parameters and information used to check the recoverability of intangible assets, including goodwill (in particular, the cash flow forecast for the various CGUs, as well as the discount rates used) are significantly influenced by macroeconomic conditions and market developments as well as the behaviour of counterparties, which could change unpredictably. Therefore, the Group assesses whether the general macroeconomic risks as well as those related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the climate risks could have a significant impact, such as the introduction of regulations on the reduction of the environmental impact linked to the properties under management (REO business), which can increase the direct costs of managing portfolios.

These risks in relation to climate-related issues are included as significant assumptions if they have a significant impact on the estimated recoverable value. With regard to the activities carried out by the Group

with reference to interventions on the properties under management as part of the Real Estate business, the detection of significant impacts on the estimates of the recovery values due to climatic risks is excluded. If the recoverable value of the assets undergoing impairment testing is determined on the basis of the associated fair value, it should also be noted that the significant and persistent volatility shown by the markets and the intrinsic difficulties in forecasting contractual cash flows mean that we cannot rule out the possibility that the assessments based on parameters drawn from the same markets and on contractual cash flow forecasts may subsequently prove not to be fully representative of the fair value of the assets.

With reference to the intangible assets recognised, it should be noted that these assets are mainly measured on the basis of the definitive Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) of the two business combinations concluded in previous years; i.e., the acquisition of control of doValue Spain Servicing S.A. and its subsidiaries in June 2019 and that of doValue Greece concluded in June 2020. The intangible asset arising from the payment by doValue Greece of a consideration for the acquisition of the right to be appointed as Servicer of the "Frontier" contract was also measured.

Albeit taking into account the difficulty inherent in the formulation of even short- or medium-term forecasts in this climate of great ongoing uncertainty and considering that both doValue Spain and its subsidiaries and doValue Greece hold medium/long-term management contracts for existing loans (stock) and future positions (new flows) with leading banks and major investment funds, the Group carried out an impairment test in accordance with the international accounting standard IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" and considering the instructions issued by ESMA.

The test was performed on the amounts of intangible assets and goodwill, resulting, as at June 30, 2023, and the updating of amortisation pertaining to the period.

To this end, following the business combinations, the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) were identified in the two geographical segmentation areas pertaining to doValue Spain and its subsidiaries and to doValue Greece, namely Iberia (Spain and Portugal) and Greece and Cyprus and the allocation of intangible assets and goodwill to the two separate CGUs was determined.

For the purposes of impairment testing, the forward-looking information determined in accordance with the 2023 second half data deriving from 2023 Budget approved by the Board of Directors on December 22, 2022 and with the Group's 2022-2024 Business Plan approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2022 was taken into consideration, which includes the most recent scenario assumptions collected by the subsidiaries that takes account of the trend of the main market and macroeconomic variables, estimating their effects from a forward-looking perspective.

This analysis revealed no evidence of impairment, as differences between the value in use of active servicing contracts and their book value minus amortization for the period.

As regards the comparison between the recoverable amount and the total net book value of the CGUs as at 30 June 2023, the model has confirmed for both acquisitions the recoverable amount that confirms the absence of impairment losses for the goodwill recorded (for further details, see also Note 1 Intangible Assets below).

As regards the methodological approach to the impairment test, please refer to the Accounting policies in the paragraph "Other Aspects - Estimation of presumed losses in value against intangible assets" of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for the purposes of estimating the recoverable value of intangible assets acquired through business combinations, doValue adopts the valuation models used in the PPA for consistency.

Business combination

The recognition of business combinations involves allocating the difference between the acquisition cost and the net book value to the assets and liabilities of the acquiree. For most of the assets and liabilities, the difference is allocated by recognising the assets and liabilities at their fair value. Any unallocated remainder is recognised as goodwill if positive; if negative, it is recognised in the income statement as revenue. In the process of allocating the cost of the business combination, the Group uses all available information; however, this process implies, by definition, complex and subjective estimations. For information on the Group's business combinations, please refer to the specific "Business combinations"

section.

SCOPE AND METHOD OF CONSOLIDATION

The preparation of the half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2023, drew on the accounts at the same date of the companies included in the scope of consolidation reported in the table presented at the end of this paragraph.

The accounts as at June 30, 2023, of the companies included in the scope of consolidation were reclassified and adjusted appropriately to take consolidation requirements into account and, where necessary, align them with the Group accounting policies.

All of the companies in the scope of consolidation use the euro as their currency of account and, accordingly, no translations of foreign currency amounts have been necessary.

The following section shows the consolidation principles adopted by the Group in preparing the consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2023.

Subsidiaries

Entities in which doValue holds direct or indirect control are considered subsidiaries. Control over an entity is determined when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and, at the same time, has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

In order to ascertain the existence of control, the following factors are considered:

• the purpose and design of the investee in order to identify the entity's objectives, the activities that determine its returns and how these activities are governed;
• power, in order to determine whether the investor has contractual rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities; to this end, only substantive rights that give the practical ability to govern are considered;
• the exposure or rights held in respect of the investee in order to assess whether the investor has relations with the investee whose returns are subject to changes that depend on the investee's performance;
• the ability to exercise its power over the investee to affect its returns;
• the existence of potential "principal-agent" relationships.

It is generally presumed that holding a majority of voting rights gives the investor control over the investee. When the Group holds less than a majority of voting rights (or similar rights), it considers all relevant facts and circumstances to determine whether it controls the investee, including:

• contractual agreements with other holders of voting rights;
• rights deriving from contractual agreements;
• the Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group reconsiders whether or not it has control over an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of the three elements relevant to the definition of control. The consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control and ends when the Group loses control.

The book value of equity investments in companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis held by the Parent Company is eliminated - with the incorporation of the assets and liabilities of the investees - against the corresponding portion of shareholders' equity attributable to the Group.

Assets and liabilities, off-balance-sheet transactions, income and charges, as well as profits and losses occurring between companies within the scope of consolidation are fully eliminated, in accordance with the consolidation methods adopted.

The assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of the subsidiary acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the Group obtains control until the date on which the Group no longer exercises control over the company.

The difference between the amount received for the subsidiary and the book value of its net assets (including goodwill) at the same date is recognised in the income statement under "Profit (loss) from equity investments" for companies subject to line-by-line consolidation. The shareholding that may be retained must be recognised at fair value.

For companies included within the scope of consolidation for the first time, the fair value of the cost incurred to obtain control over the investee, including transactions costs, is measured as of the acquisition date.

If the disposal does not involve a loss of control, the difference between the amount received in the disposal of a portion of a subsidiary and the associated book value of the net assets is recognised with a balancing entry in Shareholders' equity.

Business combinations

IFRS 3 is the reference accounting standard for business combinations. The transfer of control of a business (or an integrated set of activities and assets conducted and managed together) constitutes a business combination. To this end, control is considered transferred when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

IFRS 3 requires identifying an acquirer for all business combinations. The latter is the entity that obtains control over another entity or group of assets. If it is not possible to identify a controlling entity on the basis of the definition of control described above, such as for example in the case of exchanges of equity interests, the acquirer shall be identified using other circumstances such as: the entity whose fair value is significantly greater, the entity that transfers cash, or the entity that issues new shares.

The acquisition, and therefore, the initial consolidation of the acquiree, must be recognised on the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control over the company or assets acquired. When the transaction takes place as a single transfer, the date of transfer normally coincides with the acquisition date. However, it is always necessary to verify the possible presence of agreements between the parties that may lead to the transfer of control before the date of the exchange.

The consideration transferred as part of a business combination must be determined as the sum of the fair value, at the date of the exchange, of the assets acquired, the liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control. In transactions involving payment in cash (or when payment is made using financial instruments comparable to cash) the price is the agreed consideration, possibly discounted if payment is to be made in instalments over a period longer than short term. If the payment is made using an instrument other than cash, therefore through the issue of equity instruments, the price is equal to the fair value of the means of payment, net of the costs directly attributable to the capital issue. Adjustments subject to future events are included in the consideration of the business combination at the acquisition date, if they are provided for in the agreements and only if they are probable, can be reliably determined and realised within the twelve months following the date of acquisition of control, while indemnities for a reduction of the value of the assets used are not considered as they are already considered either in the fair value of the equity instruments or as a reduction of the premium or increase in the discount on the initial issue in the case of the issue of debt instruments.

Any contingent consideration to be paid is recognised by the acquirer at fair value at the acquisition date. The purchaser shall classify an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument as a financial liability or as shareholders' equity, based on the definitions of an equity instrument and a financial liability in IAS 32. The purchaser shall classify as an asset a right to the return of previously transferred consideration when certain conditions are met. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability, as a financial instrument that is subject to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, must be recognised in the income statement in accordance with IFRS 9. The contingent consideration that does not fall under the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at the reporting date and the fair value changes are booked to the income statement.

Acquisition-related costs are the costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. By way of example, these may include professional fees paid to auditors, experts, legal consultants, costs for appraisals and auditing of accounts, preparation of information documents required by regulations, as well as finder's fees paid to identify potential targets to be acquired if it is contractually established that the payment is made only in the event of a positive outcome of the combination, as well as the costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The acquirer shall recognise acquisition-related costs in the periods in which these costs are incurred and the services are received, with the exception of the costs of issuing debt or equity securities, which shall be recognised in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39.

Business combinations are accounted for using the "acquisition method", under which the identifiable assets acquired (including any intangible assets not previously recognised by the acquiree) and the identifiable liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities) are recognised at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. In addition, for each business combination, any non-controlling interests in the acquiree can be recognised at fair value (with a consequent increase in the consideration transferred) or in proportion to the non-controlling interest in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

If control is acquired in stages, the acquirer shall measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition date fair value and recognise through profit or loss any difference compared to the previous carrying amount.

The excess of the consideration transferred (represented by the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred or the equity instruments issued by the acquirer), the amount of any non-controlling interests (determined as described above) and the fair value of interests previously held by the acquirer, over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired shall be recognised as goodwill. Conversely, if the latter exceeds the sum of the consideration, non-controlling interests and fair value of previously held interests, the difference shall be recognised in the income statement.

Business combinations may be accounted for provisionally by the end of the financial year in which the business combination is carried out and must be completed within twelve months of the acquisition date. Pursuant to IFRS 10, the recognition of additional interests in companies that are already controlled is considered as an equity transaction, i.e. a transaction with shareholders acting in their capacity as shareholders. Therefore, differences between the acquisition costs and the book value of non-controlling interests acquired are booked to Shareholders' Equity pertaining to the Group; similarly, sales of noncontrolling interests without loss of control do not generate gains/losses recognised in the income statement but rather are recognised as changes in Shareholders' Equity pertaining to the Group.

Business combinations do not include transactions to obtain control over one or more entities that do not constitute a business or to obtain transitory control or, finally, if the business combination is carried out for the purpose of reorganisation, therefore between two or more companies or activities that already belong to the doValue Group and that does not involve a change in the control structure regardless of the percentage of third-party rights before and after the transaction (so-called combinations of entities under common control). These transactions are considered as having no economic substance. Accordingly, in the absence of an IAS/IFRS that specifically applies to the transaction and in compliance with the assumptions of IAS 8, which requires that - in the absence of a specific standard - an entity shall use its judgement in applying an accounting policy that produces relevant, reliable and prudent information that reflects the economic substance of the transaction, such transactions are accounted for by retaining the values of the acquiree in the financial statements of the acquirer. Mergers are a form of business combination, representing the most complete form of such combinations, as they involve the legal and financial merging of the entities participating in the transaction.

Whether they involve the formation of a new legal entity (merger of equals) or the absorption of one entity by another existing entity, mergers are treated in accordance with the criteria discussed above. Specifically:

• if the transaction involves the transfer of control of an entity, it is treated as a business combination pursuant to IFRS 3;
• if the transaction does not involve the transfer of control, it is accounted for by retaining the accounting values of the merged company.

Associates

An associate is an entity over which an investor has significant influence but which is not controlled exclusively or jointly controlled. Significant influence is presumed when the investor:

• holds, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the share capital of another entity,
• or
• is able, including through shareholders' agreements, to exercise significant influence through:
  • representation on the governing body of the company;
    • participation in decision-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
    • material transactions between the investor and the investee;
    • interchange of management personnel;
    • provision of essential technical information.

Note that only companies that are governed through voting rights can be classified as subject to significant influence.

Investments in associates are measured using the equity method. In accordance with IAS 36, the carrying amount of associates is tested as a single asset, comparing this with the recoverable amount (defined as the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal).

Equity method

With the equity method, the investment in an associated company is initially recognised at cost. The book value of the equity investment in companies measured using the equity method include any goodwill (less any impairment loss) paid to purchase them. The investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date is recognised in the income statement under "Profit (loss) from equity investments". Any dividends distributed reduce the book value of the equity investment.

If the investor's interest in a subsidiary's losses is equal to or greater than its book value, no further losses are recognised, unless the investor has assumed specific obligations to or made payments on behalf of the company.

Gains and losses on transactions with associates or joint arrangements are eliminated in proportion to the percentage interest in the company.

Any changes in the valuation reserves of associates or joint arrangements, which are recorded against the value changes in the associated item, are reported separately in the Statement of comprehensive income.

As at June 30, 2023, there were no companies measured using the equity method.

(2) Voting rights available in general meeting. The reported voting rights are considered effective

Changes in the scope of consolidation

There were no changes to the scope of consolidation in the first half of 2023.

However, it should be noted the change of the two Cypriot companies' name: from Altamira Asset Management Cyprus Limited to doValue Cyprus Limited and from doValue Cyprus Limited to doValue Special Projects Cyprus Limited.

Significant valuations and assumptions for determining the scope of consolidation

The doValue Group determines the existence of control and, as a consequence, the scope of consolidation, by ascertaining compliance with the requirements envisaged by IFRS 10 with regard to entities in which it holds exposures:

• the existence of power over the entities' relevant activities;
• exposure to variable returns;
• the ability to affect the returns.

The factors considered for the purpose of this assessment depend on the entity's method of governance, its purpose and its financial structure.

This analysis led to the inclusion of the subsidiaries listed in the previous section within the scope of consolidation at June 30, 2023.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 10, following the closing date of the period and up to the approval of these Financial Statements, no significant events occurred that would require an adjustment to the results presented in the half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

Please refer to the Directors' Interim Report on the Group for a description of the significant events occurred after the end of the period.

Impacts of the conflict in Ukraine

The macroeconomic scenario is still affected by significant uncertainty deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as the continuing of inflation and the resulting rising in market interest rates.

During the 2023 first half, the Group continued to monitor the direct and indirect impacts in relation to the aforementioned conflict, the result of which leads us to believe that, to date, the impacts on the economic activity, financial situation and economic results of the doValue Group can continue to be considered limited.

With regard to direct effects, it's confirmed that in line with 2022:

• the transaction flows underlying the cash flows of Group companies are not denominated in the currencies of the countries involved in the conflict;
• the Group does not do business with financial institutions that are subject to restrictions/sanctions imposed by the European Union and the international community;
• Group companies do not do business with customers and suppliers located directly in the countries involved in the conflict;
• there are no significant positions managed through the mandated portfolios that are affected by the consequences of the conflict.

With regard to the indirect effects, mainly related to the deterioration of the key general economic indicators, such as inflation, growth rate and interest rate trends, the Group, in subjecting intangible assets to impairment tests pursuant to IAS 36, did not highlight any significant changes compared to December 31, 2022.

The Group will continue to monitor future developments and the related effects deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as any worsening of macroeconomic outlook could imply a revision of the estimates of expected cash flows, or of other parameters, currently not foreseeable and adjustments in the book values of the assets.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Group has adopted, for the first time, a number of accounting standards and amendments in preparing these half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements that took effect for financial years beginning as from January 1, 2023, where applicable, with a complete list of them set out below, showing that they did not have any substantial effect on the balance sheet and income statement figures reported:

Main items of the financial statements

As regards the criteria for the recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of the main items of the financial statements, refer to the corresponding section of the Illustrative Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2022.

Information on fair value

Paragraph 9 of IFRS 13 defines fair value as "the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability in an arm's length transaction at the measurement date".

Measurement at fair value assumes that the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability takes place in a principal market, which can be defined as the market with the highest trading volumes and levels for the asset/liability being measured. In the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market should be taken as the reference, i.e. the market that maximises the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or minimises the amount that would be paid in the transfer of a liability, after taking into account transaction costs.

With the aim of maximising the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures, IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that divides the parameters used to measure fair value into three levels:

• Level 1: the fair value of the instrument is determined on the basis of listed prices observed on active markets;
• Level 2: the fair value of the instrument is determined on the basis of valuation models that use observable inputs onto active markets, such as:
  • o prices listed on active markets for similar instruments;
  • o observable parameters such as interest rates or yield curves, implied volatility, early payment risk, default rates and illiquidity factors;
  • o parameters that are not observable but supported and confirmed by market data;
• Level 3: the fair value of the instrument is determined on the basis of valuation models that mainly use inputs that cannot be inferred from the market, which therefore involve the adoption of estimates and internal assumptions.

This classification aims to establish a hierarchy in terms of objectivity of the fair value according to the degree of discretion adopted, giving priority to the use of parameters observable on the market. The fair value hierarchy is also defined on the basis of the input data used in the fair value calculation models and not on the basis of the valuation models themselves.

Fair value levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used

The information required by IFRS 13 with regard to accounting portfolios measured at fair value on a recurring basis is shown below. For financial assets not measured at fair value, the Group believes that the book value is a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

At the date of preparation of the half-year condensed consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2023, there are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on recurring basis

ASSET BACKED SECURITIES

ABSs are measured using the discounted cash flow model, which is based on an estimate of the cash flows paid by the security and an estimate of a spread for discounting.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Equities are assigned to Level 1 when an active market price considered liquid is available and to Level 3 when there are no prices or the prices have been suspended permanently. Such instruments are classified as Level 2 only if the volume of activity on the listing market is significantly reduced.

For equities measured at cost, an impairment loss is recognised if the cost exceeds the recoverable amount significantly and/or for a long time.

INVESTMENT FUNDS

Funds are classified as Level 1 if they are listed on an active market; if this does not occur, they are classified as Level 3 and are assessed through a credit adjustment of the NAV based on the specific characteristics of the individual fund.

ALTRI STRUMENTI DERIVATI

The fair value of derivatives not traded on an active market derives from the application of mark-to-model valuation techniques. When there is an active market for the input parameters to the valuation model of the different components of the derivative, the fair value is determined on the basis of their market prices. Valuation techniques based on observable inputs are classified as Level 2 while those based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

Description of assessment techniques

In order to assess positions for which market sources do not provide a directly observable market price, specific valuation techniques that are common in the market and described below are used.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW

The valuation techniques based on the discounted cash flow generally consist in determining an estimate of the future cash flows expected over the life of the instrument. The model requires the estimate of cash flows and the adoption of market parameters for the discount: the discount rate or margin reflects the credit and/or funding spread required by the market for instruments with similar risk and liquidity profiles, in order to define a "discounted value". The fair value of the contract is the sum of the discounted future cash flows.

MARKET APPROACH

A valuation technique that uses prices generated by market transactions involving assets, liabilities or groups of identical or comparable assets and liabilities.

NAV

The NAV (Net Asset Value) is the difference between the total value of the fund's assets and liabilities. An increase in NAV coincides with an increase in fair value. Usually, for funds classified at Level 3, the NAV is a risk-free valuation; therefore, in this case, the NAV is adjusted to consider the issuer's default risk.

Hierarchy of fair value

Financial instruments are assigned to a certain fair value level based on whether the inputs used for valuation are observable.

When the fair value is measured directly using an observable quoted price in an active market, the instrument will be classified within Level 1. When the fair value must be measured using a comparable approach or a pricing model, the instrument will be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on whether all significant inputs used in the valuation are observable.

In the choice between the different valuation techniques, the one that maximises the use of the observable inputs is used.

All transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy are made with reference to the end of the reporting period.

The main factors that would prompt a transfer between fair value levels (both between Level 1 and Level 2 and within Level 3) include changes in market conditions and improvements in valuation models and the relative weights of unobservable inputs used in fair value measurement.

Fair value hierarchy: asset and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - breakdown by fair value level

The following table reports the breakdown of assets and liabilities measured at fair value by fair value hierarchy input level.

Level 3 of the category "Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss" mainly includes:

• 1. the value of the notes issued by the securitisation vehicle companies:
  2. Romeo SPV and Mercuzio Securitisation, equal to 5% of the total securities;
  3. Cairo, whose mezzanine notes were purchased on June 5, 2020 to coincide with the acquisition of the subsidiary doValue Greece;
  4. Mexico, purchased in December 2021, remaining 5% of the total of subordinated securities issued by the vehicle;
• 1. Units in collective investment undertakings (CIUs): the equivalent of the amount paid for the subscription of the remaining 24.5 units of the Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II), reserved real estate investment fund, net of redemptions;
• 1. the fair value of the call option on equity instruments of the investee BidX1, subscribed at the same time as the purchase of the minority interest, which amounted to 17.7% of the company's share capital as at June 30, 2023.

Level 3 of the category "Financial assets recognised at fair value through comprehensive income" includes the value of the equity instruments relating to the minority interests in the aforementioned company BidX1 and in the brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. for 11,46%, for which the Group applies the option for the designation at fair value through comprehensive income.

The fair value of these financial liabilities was determined on the basis of the contracts for the acquisition of equity interests and the economic-financial parameters that can be drawn from the long-term plans of the acquired companies. Since these parameters are not observable on the market (either directly or indirectly), these liabilities are classified under Level 3.

Level 3 of the category relating to "Other financial liabilities" includes:

• 1. the Earn-out represented by the fair value of the liability relating to a portion of the acquisition price of doValue Spain;
• 1. the Earn-out represented by the fair value of the liability relating to a portion of the acquisition price of doValue Greece, which is linked to the achievement of certain EBITDA targets over a 10-year period;
• 1. the fair value of the liability linked to the put option to purchase residual minority interests in the subsidiary doValue Spain.

The fair value of these financial liabilities was determined on the basis of the contracts for the acquisition of equity interests and the economic-financial parameters that can be drawn from the long-term plans of the acquired companies. Since these parameters are not observable on the market (either directly or indirectly), these liabilities are classified under Level 3.

The opening balances are mainly represented by the value of multi-annual servicing contracts included in the item "other intangible assets" and by the goodwill deriving from the acquisitions completed by the Group: in June 2019, the acquisition of doValue Spain Servicing, hereinafter also "doValue Spain") and its subsidiaries, and in June 2020 the business combination of doValue Greece.

Thanks to the acquisition of doValue Greece, the following net values were recognised as at June 30, 2023:

• €22.2 million relating to software and related assets under development;
• €163.2 million related to multi-year servicing contracts ("SLAs"), of which €37.1 million related to the Frontier portfolio;
• €112.4 million relating to goodwill.

With regard to the acquisition of doValue Spain and its subsidiaries, the net values as at June 30, 2023, were as follows:

• €12.3 million relating to software and related assets under development;
• €22.6 million relating to the brand;
• €32.3 million relating to other intangible assets, which include the valuation of active long-term servicing contracts ("SLAs");
• €124.1 million relating to goodwill.

The changes in gross balance mainly include "purchases", which during the period were concentrated on the development of the IT platform, with an increase in the "software" and "assets under development and payments on account" categories totalling €4.6 million. The "other changes", which mainly affect the "software" and "assets under development and payments on account" categories, relate to the reclassification of assets between the two categories in connection with the entry into use of software.

The changes in reduction in value mainly consist of the amortisation charges for the period of €24.5 million. "Other intangible assets" include the values of long-term servicing contracts deriving from the evaluation of the doValue Spain and doValue Greece acquisition transactions and the "Frontier" contract, which are systematically amortised based on the direct margin curve for each contract over the course of its entire useful life, consistent with the best estimate of the cash flows from each individual contract. The amortisation charge of each contract was calculated to an extent corresponding to the direct margin posted in the period.

For the purpose of preparing the impairment test on the values as at June 30, 2023, continuing with the approach taken to the test performed on the data as at December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022, the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) in the two geographical segmentation areas pertaining to doValue Spain and its subsidiaries and to doValue Greece, namely "Iberia" (Spain and Portugal) and the "Hellenic Region" (Cyprus

and Greece) were used, and the allocation of intangible assets and goodwill to the two separate CGUs was determined.

For the purposes of the test, the forward-looking information determined in accordance with the 2022- 2024 business plan approved on January 25, 2022, by the doValue Board of Directors was considered, which was updated for the second half of 2023 with the 2023 budget data approved in December 2022 by the same body.

As part of the analysis, the current value in use attributable to the individual active servicing contracts was therefore consistently estimated, considering the respective expected cash flows over the entire useful life. As regards goodwill, the comparison between the recoverable value and the aggregate net book value of the CGUs as at June 30, 2023, in both cases the model highlighted a large amount of recoverable value, pointing out the absence of impairment losses of the "goodwill" item.

Also, with regard to the test performed on the other intangible components of the item, the analysis did not reveal any evidence of impairment.

The discount rate (WACC - Weighted Average Cost of Capital) used in the impairment analysis carried out on goodwill and other intangible assets was 7.3% for the Spain and Portugal CGU and 8.6% for the Cyprus component of the Greece and Cyprus CGU and 8.4% for the single Greece component in relation to the testing of the PPA of doValue Greece and the "Frontier" contract.

The following table summarises the outcome of the impairment test on the intangible assets of doValue Spain:

	Net present value	Net book value	Impairment

In the first semester of 2023, the item recorded an overall decrease of €4.7 million, going from €59.1 million to €54.4 million.

The changes in gross balance mainly include "purchases", which in the semester totalled €3.6 million (of which €2.8 million in rights of use) and consisted of the renewal of rental contracts, enlargments and improvements for certain premises in Italy and Cyprus for a total of €2.1 million, as well as renewals and additional car rentals in the category "Other".

The "other changes" in gross balance should be read together with the same component included under changes in reduction in value and are largely related to the disposal of depreciated assets.

The changes in reduction in value included depreciation of €8.4 million, of which €7.2 million related to rights of use.

Please see Note 19 for more details on changes in rights of use.

Loans to customers	-	4,380
Total	51,988	57,984

Non-current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include CIUs units, debt securities, equities and non-hedging derivatives.

CIUs units relate to 24.5 units of the restricted closed-end alternative securities investment fund denominated Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II). Partial repayments of €1.1 million were recorded during the semester, while additional shares to be subscribed of €1.1 million were recognised under commitments.

Debt securities slightly decreased by €0.1 million, and the breakdown is represented, for €13.6 million by the ABS securities of the Cairo securitisations acquired as part of the acquisition of doValue Greece, for €2.1 million by the value of the ABS securities relating to the Romeo SPV and Mercuzio Securitisation securitisations and, for €2.2 million by the co-investment in the Mexico securitisation notes and for €0.3 million by the fair value of new ABS securities subscribed by doNext and issued by the vehicle Dores Securitisation S.r.l. as part of a new finance operation.

Equities classified at fair value through profit or loss are attributable to the minority interests for which the Group has not exercised the envisaged option under IFRS 9 to measure these instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income without recycling to profit or loss.

Non-hedging derivatives include an option linked to the purchase of further equity interests in the company BidX1 mentioned below among the financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The category of non-current financial assets measured at amortised cost include the non-current part of €1.1 million mainly related to loans to customers, which is stable comparing to the previous year. On the other hand, the current component is reduced to zero as a result of the transfer to third parties of the limited recourse loan for a specific business.

The category of non-current financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income includes the value of equities relating to two companies for which the Group exercised the option available under IFRS 9 to measure these instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income without recycling to profit or loss:

• €1.5 million equal to 11.46% of the Brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. which operates in the field of digital collections;

• €8.3 million equal to 17.7% of BidX1, an Irish proptech company specialising in the promotion and execution of real estate transactions through online auction processes in real time.

Focus on securitisations

Over the years, the Group originated securitisations or invested in them through the subscription of the related debt securities, also assuming the role of Servicer. A brief description of these transactions is provided below.

On September 30, 2016, the assignment of the non-performing portfolio of the Parent Company doValue to the securitisation vehicle Romeo SPV S.r.l. ("Romeo") was finalised. Romeo was established pursuant to Italian Law 130/1999. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2017, the unsecured part of the portfolio was transferred to the vehicle Mercuzio Securitisation S.r.l. ("Mercuzio") and, at the same time, the issue of ABSs was completed by both SPVs with a single tranching of the securities.

As originator, the Parent Company doValue subscribed a nominal value of notes equal to 5% of the total securities issued in order to comply with the provisions of the retention rule referred to in Regulation (EU) 575/2013 (the CRR).

In both transactions, doValue Group plays the role of Servicer and Administrative Services Provider. At the same time as the acquisition of Eurobank FPS in June 2020 mezzanine notes of the 3 Cairo securitisations (Cairo I, Cairo II and Cairo III) were subscribed, the securities of which are backed by state guarantees ("Asset Protection Scheme"). The originator of this transaction is Eurobank, which sold €7.4

billion of performing and non-performing loans. In December 2020, mezzanine and junior ABS securities were also subscribed for the Relais securitisation, which concerns lease receivables sold by UniCredit. However, these notes were sold in February 2021, while the Group maintained the roles of Master Servicer (performed by doNext) and Special Servicer (performed by doValue).

In the second half of 2021, in relation to the Mexico transaction, the Parent Company doValue subscribed an amount equal to €45.0 million of junior and mezzanine notes, equal to 95% of the notes issued by the vehicle and at the same time sold 90% of the total notes issued to a third investor; the remaining portion of notes recognised in the financial statements therefore corresponds to 5% class B (mezzanine) and 5% class C (junior). The Group is servicer of the portfolio through the subsidiary doValue Greece.

During the first quarter of 2023, the subsidiary doNext disbursed a loan which was transferred in the same period to the credit securitization company Dores Securitization S.r.l.. As part of this transaction, doNext subscribed 20% of the untranched notes issued by the SPV, corresponding to a nominal amount of €0.4 million, and assumed the roles of Master and Special Servicer.

NOTE 4 – DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The items report deferred tax assets by deductible temporary difference.

Deferred tax assets (hereinafter also referred to as "DTA") include amounts in respect of loan write-downs, tax losses carried forward and deferred tax assets determined specifically on the basis of the stocks of the components to which they refer (e.g. litigation, provisions for employees).

In this regard, the Parent Company exercised the option to retain the possibility of converting deferred tax assets into tax credits pursuant to Article 11 of Italian Legislative Decree 59 of May 3, 2016, ratified with Italian Law 119 of June 30, 2016. This measure introduced the optional regime in order to eliminate issues that emerged at the Community level regarding the incompatibility of the DTA transformation legislation with the rules governing state aid, ensuring that the convertibility of qualifying DTAs into tax credits is only allowed following payment of a specific fee based on the amount of those DTAs.

With regard to the deferred tax assets referred to in Italian Law 214/2011, as a result of the express provision of Article 56 of Italian Decree Law 225 of 29/12/2010, the negative components corresponding to the deferred tax assets transformed into tax credits are not deductible, first offsetting on a priority basis decreases at the nearest maturity in an amount corresponding to a tax equal to the transformed DTAs.

The 2019 Budget Act (Italian Law 145/2018) modified the temporary mechanism provided for in Article 16, paragraphs 3-4 and 8-9 of Italian Decree Law 83/2015 concerning the deductibility for both IRES and IRAP purposes of the loan losses of banks, financial companies and insurance undertakings. The law essentially deferred to the current tax period as at December 31, 2026, for both IRES and IRAP purposes, the deductibility of 10% of write-downs and losses on loans to customers recognised for that purpose that were originally intended to be deducted for the current tax period as at December 31, 2018.

Article 1, paragraphs 712-715 of the 2020 Budget Act (Italian Law 160/2019) then provided for the deferral of the deduction of the negative IRES (corporate income tax) components. More specifically, the deductibility, for IRES and IRAP purposes, of the stock of write-downs and loan losses of credit and financial institutions, of 12%, originally established for the tax period under way as at December 31, 2019 was postponed to tax periods under way as at December 31, 2022 and the three subsequent tax periods. The deferral is made on a straight-line basis.

Article 42 of Italian Law Decree no. 17/2022 intervenes for the third time on the original deduction plan with a postponement technique substantially similar to that carried out by Italian Law no. 160/2019.

This law provides as follows: the portion that should have been deducted in the 2022 financial year is deferred to the current tax period as at December 31, 2023, and to the three following years. In this regard, it should be noted that the deferral affects only the 12% deduction originally envisaged by the Italian Law Decree no. 83/2015, but not also the 3% deduction envisaged by Article 1, paragraph 712, of Italian Law no. 160/2019, which instead remains deductible according to the "normal" time frame. Moreover, to partially mitigate the effects deriving from this deferral, paragraph 1-bis of Article 42 amends paragraph 1056 of Italian Law no. 145/2018, establishing that 53% of the 10% share pertaining to 2019 and deferred

for IRES and IRAP purposes to 2026 is brought forward to December 31, 2022; for the remaining portion (47%), the deductibility of the portion itself remains fixed at 2026.

As a result of Italian Law Decree no. 17/2022, the pre-2015 recovery plan of adjustments is now the following: 5% in the current tax period as at December 31, 2016; 8% in the current tax period as at December 31, 2017; 12% in the current tax period as at December 31, 2020; 12% in the current tax period as at December 31, 2021; 8.3% (3% +5.3%) in the current tax period as at December 31, 2022; 18% (12% +3% +3%) for the current tax period as at December 31, 2023; 18% (12% +3% +3%) for the current tax period as at December 31, 2024; 11% (5% +3% +3%) for the current tax period as at December 31, 2025; 7.7% for the current tax period as at December 31, 2026. At the time of the conversion, the original regulation of Italian Law Decree no. 17/2022 (which envisaged the deferral of the portion to be reversed in 2021) was amended in two respects: i) on the one hand, the deferral to the 2022 portion instead of the 2021 portion was envisaged; ii) on the other hand, the deduction of the 2019 portion deferred to 2026 was partially brought forward to 2022.

As a result of these law provisions, the amount of the deferred tax assets relating to the Parent Company begins to change starting from the current year, through reversals with economic impact.

With regard to the provisions of IAS 12, deferred tax assets are subject to sustainability testing, taking account of forecast profits in future years and verifying that future taxable income will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be used.

The test carried out on the data as at June 30, 2023, took into account the 2022-2024 Business Plan and the 2023 budget, and in general of estimates based on the most recent both endogenous and exogenous parameters.

As at June 30, 2023, additional DTAs totalling €5.3 million were recognised. This increase was more than offset by lower deferred tax assets related to the cancellation of deferred tax assets for the period of €8.7 million, of which €4.9 million referred to the change in DTA for the Italian Law 214/2011 mentinned above. The criteria used for the recognition of deferred tax assets can be summarised as follows:

• deferred tax assets correspond to the amounts of income tax that can be recovered in future years regarding temporary differences;
• the prerequisite for the recognition of deferred tax assets is that it is considered reasonably certain in view of corporate developments that taxable income will be generated against which the deductible temporary differences will be used.

Moreover, €8.3 million of DTAs are not recognised mainly against previous tax losses relating to the Iberian Region (€4.2 million), while the remaining part refers to doValue and originates from the portion of interest expenses that are subject to the deductibility limitation by 30% of taxable Gross Operating Income and for which the recognition of these expenses will be assessed in subsequent years.

Taxes were calculated by applying the tax rates established under current law in each country, using, only for doNext the additional IRES 3.5 percentage-point tax envisaged for Italian credit and financial institutions (Italian Law no. 208 of December 28, 2015).

With regard to the calculation of the Italian IRAP (regional business tax) rate as at June 30, 2023, doValue meets the requirements for classification as a non-financial holding company. In accordance with that classification, doValue determines its tax base on the same basis as ordinary companies, and takes account of the difference between the interest income and similar income and the interest expense and similar charges to the extent provided for under tax law, also applying the increased rate (of 5.57% unless otherwise provided by the individual regions) levied on credit and financial institutions.

Deferred tax liabilities derive mainly from business combinations and, in particular, from the exercise of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) as an overall tax effect of the fair value adjustments made to the values of the entry to consolidation of the companies acquired, namely doValue Spain and doValue Greece, both determined on the basis of the definitive PPA.

NOTE 5 – OTHER ASSETS

The following table provides a breakdown of other current and non-current assets.

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	12/31/2022
Other non-current assets	2,194	2,076
Other current assets	67,075	31,840

Current receivables on taxes other than income tax	12,484	4,032
Other items	13,194	2,867
Total	69,269	33,916

Overall, the item increased by €35.3 million compared to December 31, 2022, mainly due to higher receivables for advances from customers within the Hellenic Region, particularly as a result of measures to increase legal recovery activities which already started during the last quarter of 2022; in addition to this, part of the increase is due to advances paid for a new real estate business project undertaken in Spain.

Other non-current assets mainly consist of security deposits.

NOTE 6 – INVENTORIES

As at June 30, 2023, the item amounted to €55 thousand, unchanged with respect to the balance as at December 31, 2022. It refers to the Group's real estate portfolio composed of the value of two buildings.

As at June 30, 2023, tax assets amounted to €5.1 million and mainly include tax credits originating from Italian companies.

Tax liabilities amount to €8.7 million and represent the payable to the tax authorities for taxes net of liquidations made in the period.

NOTE 9 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The balance of €96.7 million, representing a decrease of €37.6 million compared with the €134.3 million reported as at December 31, 2022, represents the liquidity available at the end of the semester.

• €3.0 million increase in the negative consolidation reserve mainly due to the 2022 results of the subsidiaries;
• €0.9 million increase in the negative reserve associated with the recognition of the financial liability for the option to purchase non-controlling interests pursuant to IAS 32 which moved from - €18.3 million to -€19.2 million due to the effect of the portion that exceeds the amount of assets pertaining to third parties with respect to the doValue Spain acquisition;
• €5.9 million net decrease of the Share Based Payments reserves accounted for pursuant to IFRS 2 in implementation of the post-IPO remuneration policy, which provides for the grant of shares as remuneration to certain categories of managers and as a consequence of the former CEO resignation (for further details, please refer to Note 18 – Share based payments).

Shareholders' equity attributable to Non-controlling interests amounted to €44.1 million, including the profit (loss) for the period attributable to non-controlling interests of €4.7 million, and refers to the 20% stake in doValue Greece held by Eurobank. The portion of shareholders' equity attributable to minority interests in doValue Spain (€1.7 million) is absorbed by the recognition of the liability for "Put option on non-controlling interests", which also includes the relative share of the negative result for the period attributable to minority interests equal to -€1.9 million and which represents the option to purchase the residual minority stake in doValue Spain with a maturity extended at the end of September 2023.

Total			575,745	568,503

The balance of loans and other financing as at June 30, 2023, includes the residual debt values at amortised cost of the following bonds (current and non-current portions):

• €263.8 million for the guaranteed senior bond loan issued on August 4, 2020, maturing in 2025, at the annual rate of 5% for a principal of €264.0 million (€265.0 million at issue), reduced by €1.0 million in the first half due to the partial repurchase ("bond buy-back) by the Parent Company of its own debt securities. The liquidity deriving from this bond loan had been used to repay the bridge loan in the context of the acquisition of doValue Greece;
• €296.9 million for the guaranteed senior bond loan issued on July 22, 2021, maturing in 2026, at the annual fixed rate of 3.375%, for a principal amount of €296.0 million (€300.0 million at issue), reduced by €4.0 million in the first half due to the partial repurchase ("bond buy-back) by the Parent Company of its own debt securities. The bond was used to repay the Facility Loan concluded to finance the purchase of the interest in doValue Spain and to refinance the pre-existing debt of the same investee.

The bonds were reserved for qualified investors and are listed on the Euro MTF multilateral trading system of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The bond buyback transactions mentioned above for a total of €5.0 million were concluded by repurchasing part of its debt on the market below par, with the aim to reduce the total amount of liabilities by more than the required financial outlay. This therefore determined the recognition of a €0.5 million income.

The bank loan component includes €15.0 million relating to the use of a revolving credit line with a 12 month maturity aimed at temporary liquidity needs in the Hellenic Region.

The due to other lenders component at June 30, 2023 is nil following the termination in January 2023 of the limited recourse loan allocated for a specific business, as a consequence of the transfer of the related receivable recorded under financial assets.

NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Within the Group, there are defined-benefit plans, or plans for which the benefit is linked to the salary and seniority of the employee.

The defined-benefit plans of the Italian companies mainly include "post-employment benefits" in accordance with applicable regulations, as well as other provisions of a contractual nature. For Greece, there is a defined-benefit plan on a mandatory basis.

In accordance with IAS 19, the obligations of defined-benefit plans are determined using the "Projected Unit Credit" method. This method envisages that the present value of the benefits accrued by each participant in the plan during the year is recognised as an operating cost, considering both future salary increases and the benefit allocation formula. The total benefit that the participant expects to acquire at the retirement date is divided into units, associated on the one hand with the seniority accrued at the valuation date and on the other with the expected future seniority until retirement.

Employee benefits changed as follows during the semester.

NOTE 18 – SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Shareholders' Meeting of doValue on April 27, 2023, approved the Report on the 2023 remuneration Policy and on the remuneration paid in 2022, maintaining unchanged the 2022-2024 Remuneration policy (hereinafter "the Policy"), which was approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 28, 2022 and which is applicable to Directors, Key Management Personnel and Members of Supervisory Bodies.

The new Remuneration Policy is based on the 2022-2024 time horizon, in line with the Business Plan and thus able to ensure a high degree of consistency to the entire Governance system, to favour the coverage of key roles and also to guarantee an attractive remuneration offer to people who are key to the Group's long-term strategy.

The three-year Policy confirmed the main characteristics of the previous Remuneration Policy, while introducing some elements:

• maintenance of the variable remuneration strategy for Key management personnel, broken down as follows:
  • o a short-term Management By Objectives (MBO) incentive plan to encourage annual performance, both financial and non-financial, with a focus on skills and conduct to improve alignment with doValue values across the Group;
  • o a long-term incentive plan (LTI) to promote the alignment of participants with the longterm interests of the Stakeholders, to attract and retain individuals who are key to the long-term success of the Group, and to promote the "One-Group culture";
  • o an increased focus on ESG metrics as a key element in strengthening doValue's sustainability plan;
  • o a review of the Peer Group in order to identify the relative "Total Shareholders Return" (TSR), to take into account the new structure of the doValue Group.

The Policy envisages remuneration systems in some cases based on the use of its own financial instruments. In detail, they include the following types of remuneration:

• a portion of the fixed remuneration and the entire variable component of the Chief Executive Officer is paid in shares;
• a part of the variable remuneration of Key management personnel, specifically that deriving from the long-term incentive (LTI) plan, is paid in shares. The LTI plan provides for an annual grant ("rolling" plan) based entirely on doValue's shares ("Performance shares") and based on a 3-year vesting period. The objective of the 2022-2024 cycle is in line with the 2022-2024 Business Plan, while the objectives of the 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 cycles are set at the beginning of 2023 and 2024. The plan grants beneficiaries the right to receive, on a rolling basis, free company shares if a given set of return conditions is respected at the end of the vesting period.

The variable component of remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer indicated above is paid in part upfront and in part deferred over 3 years. The up-front portion is paid after the approval, by the Shareholders' Meeting, of the financial statements for the accrual period and no later than the month following approval. The deferred variable portion is instead postponed on a pro-rata basis on the three-year period following assignment of the variable up-front portion.

The disbursement of the deferred portion of the variable component of the Chief Executive Officer is subject to assessment of access gate, vesting and malus conditions, measured as at December 31 of the year prior to vesting.

For the shares allocated to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities (DIRS) of the LTI plans, provision is made for a 1-year retention period for 50% of the shares accrued, while for the Chief Executive Officer, the shares received can be sold on a quarterly basis, for a maximum amount not exceeding 25% of the shares allocated.

The Group uses treasury shares for these remuneration plans.

The reference price for calculating the number of shares to be assigned as the equivalent value of the variable remuneration of the LTI plan is determined by using the average of the closing prices in the 3 months prior to the day on which the Board of Directors approves each cycle.

Without prejudice to the right to compensation for any additional damages, after payment of the variable compensation, the Company reserves the right, within 5 years from the granting date of the variable remuneration, to ask the beneficiary to repay the bonus ("clawback"), in specific cases of fraudulent behaviour or gross negligence, violations of laws or the Code of Ethics and Company rules, or the allocation of a bonus based on data which later turns out to be manifestly incorrect or intentionally altered. Malus conditions are also applicable if one of the clawback clauses occurs during the performance period.

For more details on the mechanisms and terms of attribution of the shares, please refer to the information documentation published on the internet website of the doValue Group www.doValue.it ("Governance/Remuneration" section).

Effects of the voluntary resignation of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Group

The former Group CEO, having communicated his intention to voluntary resign as of April 28, 2023, in advance of the expiry of the mandate coinciding with the date of the shareholders' meeting that will approve the 2024 Financial Statements, basing on the current Remuneration Policy, the former Group CEO was not entitled to any form of remuneration, except for the fixed remuneration accrued up to the date. Considering this, any other entitlement to remuneration not yet paid or assigned and for which the vesting period is not completed has been cancelled.

Consistently with the Remuneration Policy and contract provisions, the upfront portion of the 2022 MBO awarded was paid after the Shareholders' Meeting of April 27, 2023 which approved the 2022 financial statements, while any deferred MBO regarding 2022 has been cancelled.

The amount recognised in the income statement as a consequence of the former CEO resignation is reflected in a specific equity reserve.

NOTE 19 – LEASES

The Group entered into lease contracts in place for buildings, electronic equipment (hardware) and cars, which are classified as "other tangible assets" and are used for operations or assigned to employees. The property leases generally have an original term ranging from a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 7 years, those referring to hardware 8 years, while the vehicle leases generally have an original term of 4 years. The liabilities in respect of these lease contracts are secured by the lessors' ownership of the leased assets. In general, the Group cannot sublet its leased assets to third parties. Most of the leases include renewal or cancellation options typical of property leases, while none envisage variable payments.

NOTE 20 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Servicing services	89,154	120,146
Servicing for securitisations	98,301	92,760
REO services	20,533	36,750
Total	207,988	249,656

The item as a whole decreased by 17% compared to June 30, 2022.

This result is due to lower revenues recorded in the component of the servicing services (-26%), partially offset by the positive performance of servicing for securitisation (+6%), while revenues from REO services undergo a downward variation of 44%.

This contraction, in line with the Group's expectations, is the result of the worsening macroeconomic conditions that are affecting the market to which must be added the effect of the off-boarding of the Sareb portfolio in Spain which took place between July and October 2022.

At a geographical level, therefore, there was a positive contribution from the Hellenic Region (+10%) which only partially compensates for the decrease of 45% recorded in Iberia (especially linked to the exit of the Sareb portfolio mentioned above) and of 21% in Italy.

Performance obligations

Servicing services under mandate and for securitisation transactions

The servicing services include the administration, management and recovery of loans utilising in-court and out-of-court recovery processes on behalf and under the mandate of third parties for portfolios mainly consisting of non-performing loans.

These services normally include a performance obligation that is fulfilled over time: in fact, the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits of the recovery service and the service provided improves the credit that the customer controls.

For the recognition of revenues, the Group applies a valuation method based on the outputs represented by both the assets managed and the collections on each position under mandate, so as to recognise revenues for an amount equal to that for which it has the right to invoice the customer.

The Group, following a more precise interpretation of some clauses provided for in the Service Level Agreement signed between doValue Greece and Eurobank connected to a particular type of fee ( "Curing Fee") and in application of the provisions of the IFRS15 accounting standard relating to variable fees, has aligned the relative method of recording revenues, which sees as a counterpart the establishment of a specific provision for risks and charges against possible penalties on stock and flow restructured portfolios.

Real estate services under mandate

This involves the management of real estate assets on behalf of and under the mandate of third parties, including the management of real estate guarantees as well as the development and management of the properties subject to mandate.

As with the servicing services mentioned above, there is an obligation to perform over time because the customer receives and simultaneously uses the benefits of the property management and/or sale service. For revenue recognition, the Group applies a valuation method based on the outputs of property management activities and sales on each managed position, so as to recognise revenues for an amount equal to that for which it has the right to invoice the customer.

The breakdown of revenue from contracts with Group customers is shown below:

(€/000)

First Half 2023	Italy	Hellenic Region	Iberia	Infrasector	Group
Servicing services	11,118	58,464	25,454	(5,882)	89,154

NOTE 21 – OTHER REVENUES

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Administrative Servicing/Corporate Services Provider	10,529	9,742
Information services	3,451	2,435
Recovery of expenses	1,117	377
Due diligence & Advisory	1,283	1,342
Ancillary REO services	1,992	5,383
Other revenues	1,729	1,883
Total	20,101	21,162

The item shows a decrease of 5% compared to the first semester of 2022, largely due to the lower contribution of Iberia in ancillary REO services (-63%) mainly linked to the Sareb portfolio released in the second half of 2022.

This effect was partially offset by the good performance recorded by the components relating to administrative services / Corporate Services Provider (+8%) performed mainly by the Parent Company doValue, as well as by IT services (+42%) performed by the subsidiary doData.

NOTE 22 – COSTS FOR SERVICES RENDERED

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Costs related to Assets Under Management	(7,623)	(14,525)
Brokerage fees	(5,578)	(12,500)
Costs for services	-	(423)
Total	(13,201)	(27,448)

The item, which includes the fees of the recovery network, was halved overall compared to the same period of the previous year (-52%) following the decrease in the portfolio managed in Iberia and in Italy which also generated the reduction in revenues as reported above.

The remuneration mechanism of the external network, directly related to revenues, combined with the flexibility of the collaboration agreements, allows the Group to reduce these direct costs to protect its margins in cyclical phases of business slowdown.

NOTE 23 – PERSONNEL EXPENSES

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Payroll employees	(106,871)	(106,810)
Members of Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Auditors	4,473	(4,338)
Other personnel	(3,907)	(1,556)

b) Managers	920	949
c) Other employees	1,853	2,004
Other staff	273	164
Total	3,162	3,254

The item shows an overall reduction of 6% compared to June 30, 2022: in detail, there is substantial stability in the "payroll employees", while the "members of the Board of Directors and Statutory Auditors" component shows a positive amount due to the effect the release of provisions for deferred variable compensation in favor of the former Chief Executive Officer, who resigned on April 27, 2023. The residual component "other employees", which mainly includes temporary agency work, instead recorded an increase which partially offsets the previous item.

In line with the objectives of the 2022-2024 Business Plan, personnel expenses include charges related to early retirement incentives totaling €10.8 million, of which €6.5 million only in Iberia following the restructuring program already started in 2022.

With regard to the breakdown of the cost for employee benefits included in this item, please refer to Note 14 – Employee benefits.

NOTE 24 – ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022

Advertising and marketing	(2,138)	(2,320)
Other expenses	(208)	(451)
Total	(42,311)	(52,843)

The item as a whole showed a reduction of 20% compared to the the same period of the previous year. This trend is mainly driven by lower costs for external consultants, and it is also a result of the restructuring program in Iberia.

NOTE 25 – OTHER OPERATING (EXPENSE)/INCOME

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Government grants	192	62
Reductions in assets	(12)	73
Other expenses	(87)	(424)
Other income	1,579	4,240
Total	1,672	3,951

The item, equal to €1.7 million compared to €4.0 million in the first half of 2022, reveals a decrease of €2.3 million essentially due to the effect of the income present in the comparison period relating to an insurance indemnity for €4.1 million.

NOTE 26 – DEPRECIATION, AMORTISATION AND IMPAIRMENT

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Intangible assets	(24,454)	(23,886)

Trade receivables	249	(192)
Writedowns	-	(280)
Writebacks	249	88
Total	(31,761)	(31,230)

This item results substantially in line with the first half of the previous year (+2%).

In detail, the amortization of intangible assets, while not including impairment losses as in 2022, recorded an increase mainly justified by the entry into operation of technological investments in 2022 as well as by the trend of the amortization curves on long-term contracts based on related business plans.

The property, plant and equipment category includes the effects of the IFRS 16 standard for depreciation on rights of use which, for the first half of 2023, had an impact of €7.2 million compared to €5.7 million at June 30, 2022.

The "write-backs" component of financial assets valued at amortized cost is linked to the repayment of a previously written-down receivable.

NOTE 27 – PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

Total	(3,520)	1,004	(2,516)	(3,909)	1,117	(2,792)

The item, whose net balance showed a decrease of €0.3 million compared to the first semester of 2022, consists of operational changes in provisions for legal disputes and out-of court disputes and other risk provisions allocated to meet legal and contractual obligations that are presumed will require an outflow of economic resources in subsequent years.

As at June 30, 2023, the item showed a negative balance of €2.5 million (€2.8 million as at June 30, 2022), due to the combined effect of the releases for provisions of previous years that are no longer needed and prudential provisions relating to both legal disputes and operational risks and other charges.

NOTE 28 – FINANCIAL (EXPENSE)/INCOME

(€/000)

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Financial income	2,169	872
Income from financial assets measured at fair value through P&L	748	754
Income from financial assets measured at amortised cost	958	89
Income from financial liabilities measured at amortised cost	454	-

Net change of other financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through P&L	(512)	(383)
Financial assets - o.w.: debt securities	(227)	(889)
Financial assets - o.w.: non-hedging derivatives	(285)	506
Total	(15,966)	(13,755)

Financial income amounted to €2.2 million and was mainly due to income from the ABS securities (€0.7 million), from interest income on term deposits (€1.0 million) and finally from income (€0.5 million) realized from the partial repurchase by the Parent Company of its own debt securities, at a lower market value than the issue value (for further details, see Note 12).

Financial expense (€17.6 million) includes interest expense accrued on outstanding 2020 and 2021 bonds, while the component of "other financial expenses" mainly includes the portion of interest calculated in accordance with IFRS 16 as well as €2.3 million million in interest expense for late payment related to the arbitration with Altamira Asset Management Holdings S.L. and connected to the Earn-out for the acquisition of doValue Spain.

The net change in the value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss is attributable to the fair value delta relating to the notes in the portfolio.

NOTE 29 – INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Every country in which the doValue Group operates has an independent tax system in which the determination of the tax base, the level of the tax rates, the nature, the type and the timing of the formal obligations differ from one another.

At June 30, 2023, as regards tax rates and with reference to the countries in which the Group operates, the income tax of the companies is established at a nominal rate of 25% in Spain, 21% in Portugal (to which a "Municipal Surtax" of 1.5% is added and an additional "State surtax" of 3%, 5% or 9% depending on the disposable income bracket), 22% in Greece and 12.5% in Cyprus.

In Italy, the standard corporate income tax rate (IRES) is 24%, to which a surcharge of 3.5% is added, applicable exclusively to banks and financial institutions (Italian Law no. 208 of December 28, 2015), which applies to the subsidiary doNext.

In addition to IRES, in Italy, IRAP (regional business tax) must be added. As at June 30, 2023, in order to determine the IRAP rate of the Parent Company doValue, maintenance of the requirements of non-financial equity holding was verified, with the subsequent application of the rate envisaged for banks and the extension of the tax base also to financial charges and income; the nominal rate for banks and financial institutions is 4.65% (to which each Region can independently apply an increase of 0.92%, up to a theoretical rate of 5.57% plus a further 0.15% for the regions with a health deficit).

Income taxes for the period are quantified on an accrual basis at €10.6 million, an increase compared to the figure for the first half of 2022 where they amounted to €7.4 million. The reason for the change is mainly attributable to one-off components compared to the comparison period essentially linked to the movement of the DTAs, among which we note the one relating to the write-down of receivables pursuant to Law 214/2011 which begins in 2023.

NOTE 30 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

	6/30/2023	6/30/2022
Profit (loss) for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company [A]	4,281	22,291
Weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purposes of calculation of profit (loss) per share
basic [B]	79,138,960	79,067,948
diluted [C]	79,138,960	79,067,948
Earnings (loss) per share (in euro)
basic [A/B]	0.05	0.28
diluted [A/C]	0.05	0.28

The basic earnings per share are calculated by comparing the economic result attributable to holders of ordinary equity instruments of the Parent Company doValue to the weighted average number of shares outstanding, net of treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share are equal to the basic earnings as there are no other categories of shares other than ordinary shares and there are no instruments convertible into shares.

5. INFORMATION ON RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

doValue – Consolidated half-year report at June 30, 2023

90

INTRODUCTION

The doValue Group, in line with the regulations that apply to it and applicable best practices, has an Internal Control System that is composed of instruments, organisational structures, company rules and regulations targeted at allowing, through an adequate process of company risk identification, measurement, management and monitoring, a sound, correct company management consistent with the pre-established performance targets and protection of company assets as a whole.

The Group Internal Control System is based on control bodies and departments, information flows and mechanisms to involve the applicable parties and Group governance mechanisms. More specifically, the Group has structured its internal control organisational model by aiming to ensure integration and coordination between the actors within the Internal Control System, in compliance with the principles of integration, proportionality and cost-effectiveness, as well as ensuring reliability, accuracy, trustworthiness and timeliness of financial information.

Financial risks

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not fulfil its obligations linked to a financial instrument or a commercial contract, therefore leading to a financial loss. This risk mainly derives from economic and financial factors, or from the possibility of a default situation of a counterparty.

The Group is exposed to credit risk deriving mainly from its operating activities, i.e. from trade receivables and, to a lesser extent, from its financing activities, deposits with leading banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments, as well as reduced non-performing positions owned.

Trade receivables, which are at very short term and are settled with payment of the related invoice, are essentially attributable to servicing contracts under which the Group companies accrue receivables in respect of their counterparties, who may default due to insolvency, economic events, liquidity shortages, operational deficiencies or other reasons.

In order to limit this risk, the Group monitors the positions of individual customers, analyses expected and actual cash flows in order to promptly undertake any recovery actions.

Pursuant to IFRS 9, at each reporting date, these receivables are subject to an assessment aimed at verifying whether there is evidence that the carrying amount of the assets cannot be fully recovered.

As at June 30, 2023, the main trade counterparties were represented by banks and important Investors with high credit standing and Vehicle Companies established pursuant to the provisions of Italian Law 130/1999.

For a quantitative analysis, please see the Note on trade receivables.

With regard to individual non-performing positions, which concern a marginal number of positions acquired over time, the procedures and tools supporting the activity of the workout units always enable position managers to prepare accurate forecasts of the amounts and timing of expected recoveries on the individual relationships in accordance with the state of progress in the recovery management process. These analytical evaluations take account of all the elements objectively connected with the counterparty and are in any case conducted by the position managers in compliance with the principle of sound and prudent management.

As regards the credit risk relating to relations with banks and financial institutions, the Group only uses partners with a high credit standing.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The liquidity risk is manifested as the inability to raise, an economically sustainable manner, the financial resources necessary for the Group's operations.

The two main factors that determine the Group's liquidity situation are, on the one hand, the resources generated or absorbed by operating and investment activities and, on the other, the expiry and renewal characteristics of the debt or liquidity of financial investments and market conditions.

The Group has adopted a series of policies and processes to optimise the management of financial resources, thereby reducing liquidity risk.

The Parent Company doValue identifies and monitors liquidity risk on a current and forward-looking basis. In particular, the prospective assessment takes account of probable developments in the cash flows connected with the Group's business.

One of the main instruments for mitigating liquidity risk is the holding of reserves of liquid assets and revolving credit lines. The liquidity buffer represents the amount of liquid assets held by the Group and readily usable under stress conditions and deemed appropriate in relation to the risk tolerance threshold specified.

In order to ensure efficient liquidity management, from the second quarter of the current financial year, treasury activities are largely centralised at the Holding level, with liquidity needs being met primarily from cash flows generated by the ordinary course of business and any surpluses being managed appropriately.

Management believes that the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to the liquidity that will be generated by operations and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its requirements for investment, working capital management and repayment of debt as it falls due.

MARKET RISK - INTEREST RATE RISK

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will change due to variations in the market price. The market price includes three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks, such as, for example, the equity risk. The financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and financing, deposits, debt and equity instruments and financial derivative instruments.

The Group, which uses external financial resources in the form of debt and uses available liquidity in bank deposits, is exposed to interest rate risk, which represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will change due to variations in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of variations in market interest rates is related to long-term indebtedness with variable interest rates.

Thanks to the 2020 and 2021 fixed rate bonds, the structure of the Group's current long-term debt is no longer exposed to interest rate risk.

ASSETS ALLOCATED FOR A SPECIFIC BUSINESS ACTIVITY

"Vitruvian" asset allocated for a specific business activity

On January 9, 2023, the contract to assign the loans was finalised with the investor investor Vitruvian Investments SA and therefore, as at June 30, 2023, there are no longer values representing the assets in question, which originated in 2021 against the collection by the subsidiary doNext of funds deriving from a passive loan contract allocated for a specific business activity and governed by articles 2447 - bis, paragraph 1 lett. B and 2447 – decies of the Italian civil code.

Operational risks

Operational risk is the risk of incurring losses due to the inadequacy or the failure of procedures, human resources and internal systems, or to external events.

This includes the following risks identified as part of the Group's activity and business:

• transactional and process risks that include:
  • o the risks related to day-to-day operations borne by asset managers (e.g. timeliness of file allocation, requirements, mortgage guarantees);
  • o the handling of complaints from debtors and/or other third parties;
  • o the calculation of potential losses related to specific events ("risk events");
  • the risk of conduct, with a special reference to whistle-blowing events and violations of the corporate code of ethics;
  • external fraud;
  • IT risk, to be understood as the unavailability of software applications in use, vulnerabilities in software applications and security incidents in the computer network;
  • the concentration and performance risk of third-party suppliers used by the various Group companies, with a special reference to outsourcing services.

The objective of monitoring these risks is to mitigate their potential impact and/or probability from a cost/benefit perspective in line with the defined Risk Appetite.

The doValue Group adopts a set of controls, principles and rules to manage operational risk. In terms of organisation, the Enterprise Risk Management Function (hereinafter "ERM") was established in July 2022, whose mission is to ensure integrated risk management throughout the Group, acting as a facilitator of business growth and development by identifying, measuring and managing potential risks that may affect the Group.

The Enterprise Risk Management function was placed at Group level within the "Group Organisation & Enterprise Risk Management" area, reporting directly to the General Manager Corporate Functions. ERM's main organisational responsibilities are:

• ensuring a Risk-Informed approach, i.e. providing information to doValue's Management and Board of Directors in order to support the decision-making process, based not only on expected performance but also on the underlying risk profile;
• guaranteeing integrated monitoring of potentially applicable risk categories at Group level, in line with the model of second-level controls;
• defining a common framework within the Group for identifying, assessing, measuring and monitoring risks, linking strategies, policies, processes and operating mechanisms and receiving information flows from local "Risk Management" functions and other functions where necessary;
• ensuring Group-wide monitoring, analysis and reporting on the evolution of risks, their mitigation actions, the overall risk profile and compliance with identified risk tolerance thresholds;
• supporting the monitoring of provisions for risks and charges in the Consolidated Financial Statements in cooperation with Group Finance.

In order to monitor and manage the Group's risks, a system of information flows has been implemented between the Group functions and local Risk Management on the different types of operational risk, which are summarised in a "Tableau de Bord" (TdB) to provide an overview of the risks monitored at Group level. This TdB, which is shared quarterly with the Chief Executive Officer and the Committees and half-yearly with the doValue Board of Directors, includes in particular a set of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), prepared monthly and/or quarterly, considering local peculiarities and existing regulations.

LEGAL AND TAX RISKS

Risks connected with litigations

The Group operates in a legal and legislative context that exposes it to a vast range of possible litigation connected with the core business of servicing loan recovery under mandate, potential administrative irregularities and labour litigation.

The associated risks are assessed periodically in order to quantify a specific allocation to the "Provision for risks and charges" whenever an outlay is considered probable or possible on the basis of the information that becomes available, as provided for in the specific internal policies.

Risks connected with tax disputes

With regard to the events underlying the agreement reached with the Tax Authority in 2021 by the subsidiary doValue Spain SA, on May 11, 2023 the International Court of Arbitration of the l'International Chamber of Commerce issued the final award which condemns Altamira Asset Management Holdings, S.L.

to reimburse the amount of approximately €28 million, plus interest, in favour of the doValue Group. Such amounts were paid in 2021 by doValue Spain to the Spanish tax authority in the context of the inspection launched in connection to facts and events occurred prior to the acquisition performed by doValue which took place in 2019.

It should be noted that the actions related to the execution of the above ruling for the repayment of the amount are currently underway, which is subject to the counterparty's legal actions.

Furthermore, with respect to the formal closure of the tax audit that the Parent Company has received by the Italian Tax Authority concerning the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, prior to the listing, at the end of April 2023, a tax assessment was received in connection with the 2016 finding and for which it filed a tax settlement proposal to activate the adequate protection measures and demonstrate, supported by a pool of professionals, the reasons for the correctness of the own conduct.

With reference to the finding concerning the 2017 fiscal year, against which until now no tax assessment has been received and therefore no protection measures have been activated, the Parent Company is waiting for possible final findings of the carried-out tax audit expected by the end of 2023.

Taking these circumstances into account, the Parent Company deems possible an out-of-court settlement of the tax audit, the amount of which, considered not-significant, has been recognized in the relevant financial statement items.

Capital management

For the purposes of the management of the Groups capital, it was defined that this includes the share premium reserve and all other reserves attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company. The main objective of capital management is to maximise value for shareholders, safeguard business continuity, as well as support the development of the Group.

The Group therefore intends to maintain an adequate level of capitalisation, which at the same time makes it possible to achieve a satisfactory economic return for shareholders and to guarantee efficient access to external sources of financing.

The Group constantly monitors the evolution of the level of indebtedness to be compared to shareholders 'equity and taking into account the generation of cash from the businesses in which it operates. There are currently no financial covenants linked to a gearing ratio, i.e. the ratio between the net debt and the total capital plus the net debt, illustrated below.

8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

102

INTRODUCTION

The provisions of IAS 24 apply for the purposes of disclosures on related parties. That standard defines the concept of related party and identifies the relationship between the related party and the entity preparing the financial statements.

Pursuant to IAS 24, related parties are classified into the following categories:

• the Parent Company;
• the companies that jointly control or exercise significant influence over the company;
• the subsidiaries;
• the associates;
• the joint ventures;
• key management personnel;
• close family members of key management personnel and subsidiaries, including jointly, by key management personnel or their close family;
• other related parties.

In compliance with Consob Resolution no. 17221 of March 12, 2010, as amended, doValue has adopted the "Policy for the management of transactions with related parties and transactions conducted in situations of conflict of interest of the doValue Group", published on the corporate website of doValue (www.doValue.it), which defines the principles and rules for managing the risk associated with situations of possible conflict of interest engendered by the proximity of certain parties to decision-making centres.

To manage transactions with related parties, doValue established a Risks and Related Party Transactions Committee - composed of a minimum of 3 (three) and a maximum of 5 (five) members chosen from the non-executive members of the Board of Directors, and with the majority meeting independence requirements - charged with the task of issuing reasoned opinions to the Board of Directors regarding transactions with related parties in the cases governed by the procedure.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the period, low-value transactions with related parties of an ordinary nature and lesser importance were carried out, mainly attributable to contracts for the provision of services.

All transactions with related parties carried out in the first half 2023 were concluded in the interest of the Group and at market or standard conditions.

The following table shows the values outstanding as at June 30, 2023.

Review report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Translation from the original Italian text)

To the Shareholders of doValue S.p.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows and the related explanatory notes of doValue S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "doValue Group") as of 30 June 2023. The Directors of doValue S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of doValue Group as of 30 June 2023 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
