3. GHC GROUP FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

3.1 GHC Group financial highlights

The Q1 2023 results report both revenue and Operating EBITDA growth on the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the increased production of the companies at like-for-like consolidation scope, in addition to the contribution of GVDR S.r.l. (acquired on December 6, 2022).

The operating performance indicators for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022 are presented below.

3.2 2023 Consolidated Revenues Overview

GHC consolidated revenues in Q1 2023 amounted to Euro 92,285 thousand, up 14.8% on Euro 80,406 thousand in the same period of 2022.

The increase in revenues of Euro 11,879 thousand is due to the greater production of the companies at like-for-like consolidation scope, the increased reimbursement of additional COVID costs and for Euro 3,836 thousand the change in consolidation scope, as the first three months of 2023 benefited from the contribution of GVDR S.r.l., acquired on December 6, 2022.

2 Adjustments: these include non-recurring revenues and costs (e.g. net impact of additional COVID costs) and one-off costs (e.g. M&A costs)

of which GVDR 3,836 0 3,836 n/a

The increased production of the companies at like-for-like consolidation scope was driven by the increase in services provided to private patients, increasing approx. 16% on Q1 2022, confirming the popularity of the Group clinics and highlighting the increasing demand for healthcare services on the Italian market.

3.3. 2023 Consolidated Costs Overview

Consolidated operating costs in the first three months of 2023, net of Adjustments, totalled Euro 73,523 thousand, increasing Euro 7,444 thousand (+11.3%) on Euro 66,079 thousand in the same period of 2022.

This increase derives for Euro 4,592 thousand from the increased production volumes of the companies at like-for-like consolidation scope and for Euro 2,852 thousand the change in consolidation scope.

In the first quarter of 2023, energy costs sharply declined on the average for the second half of 2022, with energy costs in fact accounting for 2.4% of revenues (2.6% in Q1 2022). Considering the cost of energy, net of the tax credit on the increase in energy and gas prices provided by current legislation, the impact on revenues in the first quarter of 2023 would be 1.8%, basically in line with the levels in 2021.

3.4. 2023 Consolidated Operating EBITDA and Operating EBITDA Adjusted

Consolidated Operating EBITDA Adjusted(3) was Euro 18,762 thousand, up 31.0% on Euro 14,327 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The increase of Euro 4,435 thousand is due for Euro 3,506 thousand to the companies at like-for-like consolidation scope and for Euro 929 thousand the change in consolidation scope.

The Adjustments, positive for Euro 1,040 thousand (negative for Euro 903 thousand in Q1 2022), comprised: i) the reimbursements recognised to the Veneto clinics for Euro 1,300 thousand (Euro 292 thousand in Q1 2022) against the additional COVID costs incurred in 2021 and in Q1 2022; ii) the additional COVID costs incurred in Q1 2023 for Euro 234 thousand (Euro 1,170 thousand in Q1 2022) and iii) M&A costs for Euro 27 thousand (Euro 24 thousand in Q1 2022).

The Group's Operating EBITDA Adjusted Margin was 20.3%, compared to 17.8% in the previous year.

Operating EBITDA Reported was Euro 19,802 thousand, up 47.5% on Euro 13,424 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

3 This indicator adjusts operating EBITDA for non-recurring revenues and costs (e.g. net impact of additional COVID costs) and for one-off costs (e.g. M&A costs), in order to provide an adjusted metric and comparable with the company's historic figures.

3.5. 2023 Consolidated EBIT overview

EBIT in Q1 2023 was Euro 13,965 thousand, up Euro 6,120 thousand on Euro 7,845 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

This result includes amortisation, depreciation and write-downs in the period of Euro 5,004 thousand, increasing Euro 420 thousand on Q1 2022, mainly due to change in the consolidation scope, in addition to the adjustments and other provisions for Euro 834 thousand, decreasing Euro 161 thousand on Q1 2022.

3.6. 2023 Consolidated Net Profit overview

The Net Profit was Euro 8,690 thousand, an increase of Euro 3,637 thousand on Euro 5,053 thousand in Q1 2022.

This amount takes account of net financial charges of Euro 2,215 thousand, increasing Euro 1,060 thousand on Q1 2022, due to the increase in interest rates, and of income taxes for Euro 3,060 thousand, increasing Euro 1,423 thousand on the same period of the previous year as a result of the improved pre-tax profit.

4. BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION

4.1. Balance Sheet

A breakdown of the Group's condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is provided below.

V Shareholders' Equity 287,684 279,153 8,531
VI Total sources of financing 436,001 424,164 11,837

Fixed capital at March 31, 2023 amounts to Euro 510,509 thousand, decreasing Euro 976 thousand on December 31, 2022, due mainly to the amortisation and depreciation in the period of Euro 4,840 thousand, exceeding investments of Euro 3,856 thousand.

Net operating working capital at March 31, 2023 increased Euro 15,736 thousand on December 31, 2022, due to the increase in trade receivables, relating to a portion of the outside-region production in 2022, not yet received by the Emilia-Romagna clinics (approx. Euro 12.7 million) and by the company Centro Medico San Biagio (approx. Euro 2.5 million). It should be noted that these receivables are expected to be collected during the second quarter of 2023, with a resulting positive impact on Net Operating Working Capital.

Other assets and liabilities increased Euro 2,828 thousand, mainly due to the assessment of income taxes for the period.

The net working capital therefore reports a net increase of Euro 12,908 thousand due to the net operating working capital changes and the changes of other assets and liabilities outlined previously.

Net deferred taxes increased by Euro 316 thousand, attributable to the assessment of taxes for the period.

Provisions decreased by Euro 221 thousand on December 31, 2022, due to: (i) the decrease in the Post-employment benefit provision for a total of Euro 451 thousand (ii) the increase in the provisions for risks for Euro 230 thousand. The former is attributable to the decrease in the actuarial reserve resulting from the increase in interest rates. The increase in the risks provisions is due to the following combined effects: (i) net accruals (excess of provisions over releases) of Euro 838 thousand, mainly due for Euro 419 thousand to healthcare risks and for Euro 408 thousand to local health authority risks (ii) utilisations for Euro 608 thousand, mainly concerning healthcare cases (Euro 441 thousand).

Net capital employed at March 31, 2023, amounted to Euro 436,001 thousand, an increase of Euro 11,837 thousand on Euro 424,164 thousand at December 31, 2022.

The Group shareholders' equity at March 31, 2023 of Euro 287,684 thousand increased Euro 8,531 thousand on December 31, 2022 due to the profit for the period of Euro 8,690 thousand, and the increase in the actuarial reserve on the post-employment benefits for Euro 313 thousand, net of the purchase of treasury shares of Euro 448 thousand.

4.2. Net Financial Position

Net financial debt was calculated according to the approach outlined in ESMA Recommendation 2021/32-382-1138/ and Consob Communication No. DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006.

A breakdown of the composition for the periods ending March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is provided below.

At March 31, 2023, the Net Financial Position (NFP) of the Garofalo Health Care Group amounts to Euro 148,316 thousand, comprising gross financial debt of Euro 181,371 thousand (Euro 50,477 thousand of current financial debt and Euro 130,894 thousand of non-financial debt) and liquidity of Euro 33,054 thousand. The NFP therefore increased Euro 3,305 thousand on December 31, 2022, mainly due to the increase in trade receivables, as commented upon in the previous paragraph, which has deferred the receipt of liquidity, which has remained substantially unchanged on the end of 2022, and has required the temporary use of advances and bank overdrafts, with a consequent increase in Current financial payables.

With regards to the NFP, COVID-19 resulted in the recognition at consolidated level in 2020 and 2021 of funding advances disbursed by the main regions in which the Group operates. These advances at March 31, 2023 were unchanged on December 31, 2022 and amount to approx. Euro 10.5 million.

5. INVESTMENTS

Sanatorio Triestino also owns controlling interests in Eutonia S.r.l. Sanità & Salute, the largest physiotherapy and rehabilitation company in the Province of Trieste and in Terme del Friuli Venezia Giulia S.r.l., the company that currently manages the "Arta and "Monfalcone" spas.

The Enterprise Value of the transaction (100%) is equal to Euro 16.9 million, while the Equity Value is equal to Euro 13.2 million and is calculated on the basis of the Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2022.

Approximately half of the acquisition will be financed with its own funds and the other half with recourse to bank debt, as GHC has the availability of a line of credit for new acquisitions granted to the Group in 2021 by a pool of leading national banks.

8. OUTLOOK

The issue of health at national level is characterized by age-old demographic trends (such as the aging of the population and a higher incidence of chronic diseases compared to the European average), elements which are leading to clearly growing healthcare needs, the latter exacerbated exponentially by delays accumulated in the provision of services due to the pandemic.

In this context, the Group will continue to operate in 2023 by fully implementing the accredited activity, including the increased resources that could be assigned during the year for the reduction of waiting lists - on a par with previous years - and above all by strengthening and developing the out-of-pocket private patient business on the back of the significant growth already recorded in the first quarter of the year.

It is also specified that the results expected by the Group, in comparison with 2022, could benefit from the reduction in energy prices on the basis of the sharply declining trend observed in the first quarter of the year, although elements of uncertainty remain in this area exogenous.

As evidenced by the latest acquisition of Sanatorio Triestino, the Group confirms its strategic intention to continue to grow also through acquisitions, continuing with the acquisition of excellent structures with non-dilutive performance, also in the future.

Lastly, the Group announces that it is engaged in the execution phase of the activities aimed at concentrating its significant real estate assets, currently held by the subsidiaries, in an already established dedicated vehicle (GHC Real Estate), wholly controlled by the Parent Company.
