GROUP STRUCTURE

doValue is one of the main players in Southern Europe providing services to banks and investors for the management of loans and real estate assets (Servicing) with assets under management equal to about €137 billion as at September 2022 (Gross Book Value).

The structure of the Group at September 30, 2022, as shown in the following diagram, reflects the organic and external growth and diversification of doValue over more than 20 years of operations.

The parent company, doValue S.p.A., a servicing company governed by article 115 of the T.U.L.P.S.,1 and its subsidiaries carry out servicing activities for "Performing Loans" (PL), Early Arrears, "Unlikely to Pay" (UTP), "Non Performing Loans" (NPL) and Real Estate assets, and provide ancillary services for business information and master Servicing, operating in a specific business area or geographical market.

doValue was created from a combination, in 2016, of the two largest Italian servicers: UCCMB, originally part of the UniCredit Group, and Italfondiario (now doNext), active since 2000 in partnership with leading specialised investors.

From July 2017, the doValue Group is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange (MTA).

Since 2018 doValue went through a strong expansion and deep diversification phase in the Southern Europe market, starting a Group transformation and integration process.

In 2019 doValue completes the acquisition of an 85% stake in the capital of Altamira Asset Management, a prominent european player in the credit and real estate asset management sector, with operations in Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Greece.

In 2020 doValue acquires 80% of the share capital of Greek servicing company FPS from Eurobank, today doValue Greece.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT

7

Basis of preparation

The Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2022, drawn up using the euro as the reporting currency, were prepared on a voluntary basis in order to provide periodic information in addition to the annual and half-yearly financial reports, and ensures continuity with the past, as Legislative Decree 25/2016 implementing Directive 2013/50/EU eliminated the requirement for periodic financial reporting at March 31 and September 30.

The Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2022 have not been prepared according to the international accounting standard applicable for interim financial disclosures (IAS 34 - Interim financial reporting), in view of the fact that the doValue Group applies that standard in the preparation of the halfyearly financial report and not to the quarterly reporting, except in circumstances connected with the preparation of documentation for exceptional transactions.

The Consolidated Interim Report as at September 30, 2022 was prepared on a going concern basis in compliance with the provisions of IAS 1, and on an accrual basis, in accordance with the principles of the relevance and materiality of accounting information and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form and with a view to facilitating consistency with future presentations.

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

This Consolidated Interim Report are accompanied by the Certification of the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to article 154-bis of Legislative Decree 58/1998.

They are also consistent with the most commonly used metrics in the relevant sector, ensuring the comparability of the figures presented.

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 is Southern Europe's leading servicer, with about €137 billion (Gross Book Value) in assets under management and a track record spanning over more than 20 years. Its business model is aimed at all Banks and Investors in the market, and "asset light", which means that it does not require direct investments in loan portfolios.

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:
    • o 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;
    • o Real estate development: analysis, implementation and marketing of real estate development projects involving assets owned by customers;
    • o Property management: 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 unlikelyto-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 T.U.B. (Italian Single Banking Act) (financial intermediary) and doValue Greece, pursuant to the 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, with the aim of supporting creditors and ensuring the rapid return of the positions to performing status;
  • "Master Legal": management of judicial procedures of all types and degrees in relation to loans, mainly non-performing ones, managed by doValue for third parties;
  • Ancillary Data and Products: the collection, processing and provision of commercial, real estate and legal information (through the subsidiary doData) on debtors as well as the provision of other services strictly linked to loan recovery activities, including:
    • o "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;
    • o "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;
    • o "Co-investment": Co-investment in loan portfolios in partnership with major financial investors, where this activity is instrumental to obtaining servicing contracts. This activity involves taking minority positions in securities issued by securitisation vehicles.

doValue, in its capacity as Special Servicer, has received the following ratings which have been confirmed at 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 Master Servicer, received an MS2+ rating from Fitch Ratings in February 2022, which is an indicator of high performance in overall servicing capacity.

In July 2020, doValue received the BB Corporate credit rating, with "Stable" outlook from Standard & Poor's and Fitch.

This rating was confirmed by both agencies for doValue's €265.0 million and €300.0 million senior bonds maturing in 2025 and 2026 respectively. In July 2022, Fitch confirmed the BB rating and improved the outlook to "Positive".

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 Interim Report at September 30, 2022

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.

Staff FTE/Total FTE Group: 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 EBT attributable to Parent Company shareholders: 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 excluding non-recurring items: EBITDA attributable to core operations, excluding all items connected with extraordinary operations such as corporate restructuring, acquisitions or disposals of companies, start-up of new businesses or entry into new markets.

EBITDA Margin: obtained by dividing EBITDA by Gross Revenues.

EBITDA Margin excluding non-recurrent items: items obtained by dividing Ordinary EBITDA 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 is equal to net profit for the period excluding non-recurring items net of the associated tax effects.

Capex: investments in tangible and intangible assets.

EBITDA - Capex: calculated as EBITDA net of investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and, 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 for loans and bond issues.

Leverage: this is the ratio between the net financial position and pro-forma EBITDA for the last 12 months to take account of significant transactions from the start of the reference year. It represents an indicator of the Group's debt level.

Portfolio under management

As at September 30, 2022, the Group's Managed Portfolio (GBV) in the five core markets Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus stood at €137.3 billion, a decrease of about 8% compared to the December 31, 2021 figure of €149.5 billion. The new contracts and flows related to long-term contracts acquired during the first nine months of the year thus partially offset the effect of the offboarding of the NPL Sareb portfolio in Spain. In this regard, it should be noted that the offboarding of the NPL portion (roughly €10 billion) was completed on July 1, 2022, and the offboarding of the remaining REO portion (roughly €11 billion) was completed in early October and it will be included in the year-end results.

These data confirm, on the one hand, the effectiveness of the strategic decision taken in previous years through adequate geographic diversification and, on the other, the significant appeal of the Group on the various reference markets. The figures for the period also reflect a process of portfolio divestments by some Italian and Spanish banks, which affected the Group's portfolio. From this perspective, it is even more appreciable to note a substantial continuity in values compared to the end of the previous year, even net of receipts.

The following chart shows the geographical distribution of the GBV: in particular for each country the share managed as at September 30, 2022 is highlighted.

The evolution of the Managed Portfolio, which includes only onboarded portfolios, in the first nine months of 2022 was characterised by contracts related to new customers totalling €8.3 billion, of which approximately €5.7 billion related to contracts signed in 2021 in the Hellenic Region, €0.5 billion in Greece related to mortgage loans disbursed to undertakings ("Neptune Project"), €0.8 billion in Cyprus related to guaranteed corporate and SME loans ("Marina Project"), as well as a further €1.3 billion essentially related to a GACS securitisation in Italy.

In addition to the flows listed above, a further €1.7 billion comes from existing customers onboarded through flow contracts.

With regard to decreases in GBV, disposals totalling €5.0 billion and write-offs totalling €3.2 billion were recorded for the period.

The Portfolio under Management is to be considered in further growth with respect to the picture already described due to new mandates acquired and currently in the on-boarding phase for a total amount of approximately €4.0 billion, related to portfolios under management by leading Greek and Spanish banks and an investor in Greece.

Group revenue during the period under review amounted to €3.9 billion, essentially unchanged from the same figure for the first nine months of the previous year (€4.0 billion). The geographical breakdown of collections is as follows: €1.2 billion in "Italy", €1.6 billion in "Iberia" and €1.1 billion in the Hellenic Region.

The third quarter of 2022 passed in an international context influenced above all by the repercussions of the international political crisis that erupted last February with the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. In addition, it should be noted that the European macro-economic environment has progressively deteriorated due to the ongoing inflationary cycle that has slowed down the general economic recovery.

In this overall framework, the doValue Group recorded Gross Revenues of €425.5 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of 10% compared to the €385.9 million in the first six months of 2021. Geographically, there was a greater contribution from the Italian and Hellenic regions, which more than offset the decrease in the Iberian area.

NPE and REO servicing revenues assets amounted to €390.3 million (€355.8 million as at September 30, 2021), an increase of 10%. At the product segment level, NPE revenues amounted to €326.2 million (€297.0 million in the first nine months of 2021), representing an increase of approximately 10%; while REO revenues totalled €64.1 million and, compared to €58.8 million in the same period of the previous year, showed a substantial 9% increase.

Co-investment revenues amounted to €1.1 million, compared to €4.2 million in September 2021. In 2021, these revenues related to gain on the Relais securitization whose mezzanine and junior notes had been purchased in the last few days of 2020 and resold in the first half of February 2021.

The contribution of Ancillary and other revenues is more significant and amounts to €34.1 million, up on €25.9 million in September 2021 and it is mainly due to income from data processing and provision services and other services connected with servicing activities, such as due diligence, master and structuring services, and legal services, as well as services offered in Rental, Real Estate Development and diversified Advisory and Portfolio Management activities.

These revenues accounted for 8% of total gross revenues for the period, whereas in the comparative period their share was around 7%.

(€/000)

Net revenues rose by around 12% to €380.0 million, compared to €338.8 million of the previous year.

NPE Outsourcing fees recorded an overall decrease of 28% (€16.1m in 2022 and €22.4m in 2021), linked to an increased use of internal resources in recovery activities. Please note that the percentage weight on the respective revenues decreases for the domestic scope from 7% to 5%, for the Hellenic scope from 3% to 2%, while it remains stable for the Iberian scope. At the consolidated level, the proportion of NPE fee and commission expenses on related revenues decreased from 7% to 5%.

REO Outsourcing fees were up and amounted to €19.5 million (€16.9 million in 2021), mainly related to assets under management by the subsidiary Altamira Asset Management, consistent with business performance.

Ancillary Outsourcing fees amounted to €9.9 million, compared to €7.7 million in 2021.

Overall, total commission expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly, amounting to 10.7% for 2022 and 12.2% for the comparative period, while in absolute terms total commissions payable amounted to €45.5 million (€47.0 million as at September 2021).

Operating expenses amount to €230.5 million compared to €222.9 million in September 2021. The ratio to gross revenues stood at 54% compared to 58% in 2021, thus denoting an excellent recovery of efficiency compared to the first nine months of the previous year. The increase, in absolute value, is mainly related to the operating costs inherent to the reorganisation projects in the Iberia Region, which were lower than budgeted.

On the other hand, the domestic scope did not increase significantly either in absolute terms (+€0.4 million) or in relative terms as a percentage of revenues (stable at 17%), while the Greek scope, despite an increase in absolute terms of €3.0 million, recorded a lower percentage of revenues of 10% compared to 12% in September 2021.

Staff expenses amounted to €158.6 million, thus basically stable compared to €159.4 million in 2021. This item decreased as a percentage of finalised revenues to 37% from 41% in September 2021.

In line with the previous years, the operating expenses for the period include a number of non-recurring items ("NRIs"), which are shown as adjustments to EBITDA to facilitate comparison between periods and the identification of structural profitability for the Group.

These non-recurring items amounted to €2.4 million (€0.2 million in 2021) and mainly refer to consulting charges for extraordinary transactions.

EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounted to €151.9 million (€116.1 million in September 2021) with a margin of 36% on revenue, up from 30% in the comparative period.

Including non-recurring expenses, EBITDA amounted to €149.6 million, up from €115.9 million in September 2021.

The Group's EBIT stands at €94.6 million compared to €49.5 million in the same period of the previous year.

EBT is equal to €72.1 million compared to €24.5 million in the comparative period. This item includes the financial costs linked to the two bond issues, the fair value delta on the notes of the Cairo securitization, Romeo SPV securities and other minor items related to the application of IFRS 16.

EBT 72,142 24,480 47,662 n.s.

In addition to the non-recurring items included in EBITDA (€2.4 million), EBT includes additional nonrecurring items totalling €6.1 million, which are related to redundancy incentive costs that affected all

regions (especially in Spain connected with the exit of the Sareb portfolio), items related to an ongoing arbitration for a tax claim in Spain, and income from insurance reimbursements.

Net write-downs on property, plant, equipment and intangibles amounted to €47.9 million, compared to €58.0 million in the previous year.

This item mainly includes the amortisation of the Altamira and doValue Greece servicing contracts for a total of €24.8 million and 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 €8.4 million. The remainder of amortisation primarily concerns software licenses connected with technology investments made by the Group during the period aimed at upgrading the IT platform. The change from the previous year is due to lower amortisation connected to servicing contracts that included Sareb in 2021 (fully amortised in the first half of 2022), as well as lower amortisation recorded on a specific contract connected to the "Mexico" operation.

Net Provisions for risks and charges amounted to €7.3 million, compared to €8.9 million as of September 2021, and are mainly related to provisions for redundancy incentives, as well as to a prudential provision on the payable Earn-out.

Interest and commission income from financial activities amounted to €21.3 million, down from €25.7 million in September 2021, when the €4.6 million economic effects of the closure of the financing line replaced by the second bond issue were recognised.

The item in question therefore mainly reflects the costs of the two bond issues to service the acquisition process carried out in Spain and Greece as implementation of the Group's internationalisation strategy, as well as the cost related essentially to the use of a revolving facility by the Spanish subsidiary, which has been now reimbursed.

Including non-recurring items, the Profit for the period attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company is €39.2 million, compared to the €12.8 million in the same period of the previous year.

SEGMENT REPORTING

doValue's international expansion into the broad Southern European market with first the acquisition of Altamira, and then doValue Greece, prompted Management to evaluate and analyse its business with a geographic 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 are: Italy, Hellenic Region and Iberia.

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 revenue recorded in the first nine months of 2022 amounted to €425.5 million (€385.9 million as at September 2021) and EBITDA excluding non-recurring items amounted to €151.9 million (€116.1 million as at September 2021). The Italian segment contributes 31% of the Group's gross revenue, the Hellenic Region segment 45%, and the Iberian segment 24%.

The EBITDA Margin, excluding non-recurring items, on the Italy and Iberia segments came to respectively 26% and 2%, lower than the Hellenic Region, which posted a figure of 60%.

The item Cash and liquid securities is substantially in line with the end of the previous year. For more details on the financial dynamics of the period, please also refer to the section on Net Financial Position.

Financial Assets showed a balance of €58.5 million, a decrease of €3.5 million compared to the value recorded as at December 31, 2021 and amounting to €62.0 million.

The item is broken down in the following table.

L&R with customers 5,358 5,441 (83) (2)%
Total 58,459 61,961 (3,502) (6)%

The financial assets "At fair value though profit or loss" recorded an aggregate decrease of €2.8 million, mainly due to a decrease in the Debt securities component, mostly originating from valuation effects (about €2 million) and the redemption of the Romeo and Mercuzio ABS securities (€0.3 million), as well as a reduction in CIU units (€1.2 million), due to the cancellation and distribution of units of the reserved closedend alternative investment fund Italian Recovery Fund (formerly Atlante II), partially offset by its revaluation.

The category "At fair value through OCI", which includes investments of minority interests in the Brazilian fintech company QueroQuitar S.A. and in the Irish proptech company BidX1, shows a reduction of €0.6 million related to the update of the fair value compared to December 31, 2021, the effect of which is offset in the first nine months of 2022 with the positive evaluation of derivative contracts related to the investment. The component of financial assets "At amortised cost" does not show any changes worthy of note; the item mainly includes receivables from customers attributable to the company doNext and arising from the use of financial resources originated by a limited recourse loan for a specific business and classified in other financial liabilities.

Property, plant and equipment, at €34.1 million, remain substantially unchanged from December 31, due to the joint effect of depreciation and purchases for the period, both amounting to €10.7 million respectively. Purchases in the period included about €6 million related to new rights of use in application of IFRS 16.

Intangible Assets decreased from €545.2 million to €529.6 million, a decrease of €15.6 million due to the combined effect of reductions of €36.7 million in amortisation and depreciation for the period and increases of €15.6 million in respect of software purchases (including the portion classified as assets under development and payments on accounts), as well as €6.1 million in respect of additional capitalised costs on the Frontier (SLA) portfolio.

The following is a breakdown of intangible assets:

(€/000)

Intangible assets 9/30/2022 12/31/2021 Change € Change %
Software 37,090 26,399 10,691 41%
Brands 25,954 28,506 (2,552) (9)%
Assets under development and payments on account 8,093 12,571 (4,478) (36)%
Goodwill 236,897 236,897 - n.s.
Other intangible assets 221,562 240,852 (19,290) (8)%
Total 529,596 545,225 (15,629) (3)%

In particular, the most significant portion of intangible assets derives from the last two acquisitions made by the Group, respectively referring to Altamira Asset Management and its subsidiaries at the end of June 2019 and the business combination of doValue Greece concluded in June 2020.

In relation to the consolidation of Altamira, intangible assets are composed as follows:

  • €11.4 million relating to software (including assets under development and payments on accounts);
  • €25.9 million for the Altamira brand;

  • €37.2 million relating to other intangible assets, which include the valuation of active long-term servicing contracts with major banks and companies for approximately €36.9 million and the backlog & database component for €0.3 million;
  • €124.1 million relating to goodwill.

With respect to the consolidation of doValue Greece, intangible assets may be analysed as follows:

  • €184.3 million related to special and master servicing contracts for the management of impaired exposure portfolios, including €39.9 million related to the Frontier portfolio acquired in December 2021;
  • €15.2 million relating to software (including assets under development);
  • €112.4 million allocated to goodwill.

The Tax Assets detailed below show a balance of €150.8 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of €2.2 million compared to the balance at December 31, 2021 due to the reversal of deferred tax assets totalling €9.7 million, partially offset by new DTAs recognised for €3.5 million and a higher VAT and withholding tax receivable included in the "Other tax receivables" for €4.7 million.

Total 105,001 113,060 (8,059) (7)%

As at September 30, 2022, Financial liabilities - due to banks/bondholders increased by €13.8 million, from €568.5 million to €582.3 million, mainly due to the €25 million borrowing of a short-term credit line by the subsidiary doValue Greece, which was repaid on November 1, 2022; this increase was partially offset by the repayment of the revolving facility made by the Spanish subsidiary Altamira (€7.5 million). At September 30, 2022, the residual debt at amortised cost for the two bonds issued is as follows: - 2020-2025 bond with a nominal value of €265.0 million, interest rate 5.0%: €259.6 million;

  • 2021-2026 bond with a nominal value of €300.0 million, interest rate 3.4%: €297.6 million.

Other financial liabilities for the first nine months of 2022 are detailed below:

(€/000)
Other financial liabilities 9/30/2022 12/31/2021 Change € Change %
Lease liabilities 23,158 26,366 (3,208) (12)%
Earn-out 23,220 23,043 177 1%
Put option on non-controlling interests 22,616 22,239 377 2%
Other financial liabilities 4,487 4,369 118 3%
Total 73,481 76,017 (2,536) (3)%

"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 Altamira operation in the amount of €17.5 million, which represents a portion of the acquisition price and (ii) to the acquisition of doValue Greece for €5.7 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" relates to the option for the purchase of residual non-controlling interests in Altamira. The amount recognised at September 30, 2022 refers to the fair value of the option renegotiated and extended by an additional 24 months in July 2021, with the right to exercise only at the end of the two-year period, i.e., end of June 2023.

At September 30, 2022, "Other financial liabilities" include €4.5 million for a limited recourse loan relating to the above-mentioned loan allocated for a specific business.

Provisions for risks and charges decreased from a balance of €44.2 million at the end of 2021 to €37.2 million at September 30, 2022. The reduction of €7.0 million is attributable for €7.5 million to the "Other" component of the table below, which includes a provision that emerged with the definition of the PPA connected to the acquisition of doValue Greece and determined following a more precise interpretation of certain clauses in the Service Level Agreement signed between doValue Greece and Eurobank connected to a particular type of fee ("Curing Fee") and pursuant to IFRS 15 in relation to variable fees.

Other 18,328 25,846 (7,518) (29)%
Total 37,196 44,235 (7,039) (16)%

Other liabilities decreased from €104.9 million to €78.3 million, a decrease of €26.6 million, due to the effect of several components, as summarised in the table below.

(€/000)
Other liabilities 9/30/2022 12/31/2021 Change € Change %
Amounts due to personnel 32,099 38,314 (6,215) (16)%

Accrued expenses/deferred income and other debts 26,421 35,506 (9,085) (26)%
Total 78,278 104,888 (26,610) (25)%

"Debts related to servicing contracts" decreased by €11.3 million due to the €22.4 million release of the liability to Eurobank related to the "advance indemnity fee" connected to the securitisation of the Mexico portfolio, following the definition of a contractual addendum between the parties. This decrease was partially offset by the recording of the contractual liability related to the Frontier SLA (€5.9 million). "Amounts due to personnel" decreased by €6.2 million due to the settlement of the 2021 incentive scheme,

while "Accrued expenses/deferred income and other debts" decreased mainly due to the release of the accrued portion of the first nine months of 2022 of the deferred income on the prepayment of servicing fees (€7.5 million).

Net Equity attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company amounted to €161.1 million, up from €156.6 million as at December 31, 2021; the increase stems from the positive result for the period

achieved by the Parent Company (€39.2 million) and the net increase of €4.8 million in the stock option reserve recognised in accordance with IFRS 2, offset by the distribution of dividends (€39.5 million).

NET WORKING CAPITAL

(€/000)
Net Working Capital 9/30/2022 9/30/2021 12/31/2021
Trade receivables 197,849 199,054 206,326
Trade payables (57,775) (54,721) (73,710)
Total 140,074 144,333 132,616

The figure for the period was €140.1 million, compared to €132.6 million in December 2021. Compared to the previous quarter, net working capital showed a significant improvement of about €30.1 million (in June it amounted to €170.1 million). The amount, benchmarked against revenue in the last 12 months, thus stands at 23%, in line with the figure recorded at the end of 2021 (23%) and significantly better than both the 29% in the first two quarters of 2022 and the 27% in September 2021.

In determining this indicator, account must also be taken of the macroeconomic context within which the activities were carried out, characterised by an unstable European financial framework, and subject to fluctuations linked to international events.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

Net Financial Position 9/30/2022 9/30/2021 12/31/2021

G Bonds issued – non-current (553,296) (550,584) (550,859)
H Net financial position (E)+(F)+(G) (422,778) (431,958) (401,791)

At September 30, 2022, the Net financial position amounted to €422.8 million, compared to €401.8 million at the end of 2021 (€432.0 million at September 30, 2021).

The period was characterised by the start of planned investments of approximately €13.7 million distributed in all the countries in which the Group operates, by the working capital dynamics which, as described above, gave a big impulse to cash generation in the third quarter, as well as by the payment of taxes for €25.4 million (largely attributable to the Hellenic Region, as well as domestic) and financial charges for €20.2 million.

Cash therefore amounted to €159.5 million, thus substantially in line with the €166.7 million at the end of 2021. In addition to this, at the end of September 2022, the Group had €130.5 million in available credit lines, bringing total liquidity (understood as cash plus available lines) to €290.0 million.

The Net current financial position is positive at €130.5 million (€149.1 million at the end of 2021 and €118.6 million at September 2021), indicating a balanced overall balance sheet structure, especially thanks to the second bond issue in July 2021.

With respect to its debt structure, it should be noted that doValue or an affiliate may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, repurchase or acquire an interest in our outstanding indebtedness, whether or not such indebtedness trades above or below its face amount, for cash or in exchange for other securities or other consideration, in each case in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Change in Net Financial Position (20,987) (21,402) 8,765

Operating Cash Flow for the period was positive at €63.9 million (up by €48.2 million on September 2021). This figure was positively impacted by the profit margins of the period, with EBITDA at €149.6 million and investments of €13.7 million, equal to roughly 2% of gross revenues in the past 12 months (LTM). The cash-conversion of the operating cash flow with respect to EBITDA is equal to 91%, confirming the Group's significant ability to convert its operating margins into cash, despite the above-mentioned investment levels.

The net working capital trend, as already reported in the relevant section, is essentially flat over the nine months, while during the third quarter it experienced an absolutely positive trend, generating about €30 million of liquidity.

The item "Changes in other assets/liabilities" was impacted by the reversal in revenue related to the advance of fees that occurred last year in favour of the subsidiary doValue Greece, as well as by the effects related to the accounting of redundancy incentives.

Corporate Income Tax paid amounted to €25.4 million and financial charges paid amount to €20.2 million (€24.4 million in the third quarter of 2021), which reflected the average cost (at a fixed rate) recorded following the bond issuance in support of the Group's international growth process. Thanks to these transactions, the Group replaced the credit lines with a pre-established repayment plan, including interest and principal, with instruments with bullet repayment profiles for the principal and half-yearly repayment of coupons. This resulted in a greater balance of sources, extending deadlines.

The above movements thus result in a positive Free Cash Flow of €18.3 million compared to €17.7 million in September 2021.

The item "(Investments)/disinvestments in financial assets" is positive for €2.4 million, and mainly includes a collection of the units of the reserved alternative investment fund Italian Recovery Fund (€21.1 million as of September 2021 mainly referring to the gain realised for the Relais securitisation).

During the period in question, €39.5 million in dividends were approved for distribution to the Group's shareholders, of which €36.8 million had already been received by the payees as at September 30, 2022 (as at the third quarter of 2021, this disbursement amounted to €18.9 million).

Net cash flow of the period was negative for €21.0 million, substantially stable compared to September 2021, when it was negative for €21.4 million.

Significant events during the period

ASSET UNDER MANAGEMENT AND NEW SERVICING AGREEMENTS

During the first nine months of 2022, the Group added approximately €10.0 billion to its Gross Book Value, comprising €8.3 billion of new mandates (substantially related to the Frontier Project in Greece, already awarded in 2021 and on-boarded in February 2022, the Marina Project in Cyprus and two GACS securitisations in Italy won and on-boarded in 2022) and €1.7 billion from existing flow contracts (deriving in particular from contracts with Santander, Eurobank and UniCredit).

Since the start of the year to date, the Group has been awarded about €5.8 billion of new contracts (about €4.2 billion in the Hellenic Region, about €1.3 billion in Italy and €300 million in Iberia), to which the €1.7 billion from flow contracts must be added, totalling about €7.5 billion.

PRESENTATION OF THE BUSINESS PLAN 2022-2024

On January 25, 2022, doValue's Board of Directors approved the Business Plan 2022-2024, which was unveiled to the market on January 26, 2022 during the company's Capital Markets Day. The 2022-2024 Business Plan confirms doValue's efficient business model as a leading independent and capital light operator in the credit servicing sector in Southern Europe. The vision for "doValue 2024" mainly revolves around the Company's ability to lead the evolution of the credit servicing industry by investing in technology and through its ability to strengthen strategic and long-term partnerships with banks and investors in a broader target market.

SAREB CONTRACT

On February 24, 2022, Sareb (an entity owned by the Spanish government and established in 2012 with the objective of managing and disposing of distressed assets that had been transferred from the four nationalised Spanish financial institutions) announced its decision to engage two new servicers for the 2022-2025 contract, and therefore not renewing the contract with doValue and the other 3 servicers currently engaged in the management of the Sareb portfolio. The NPL part of the Sareb portfolio (€10 billion) was off-boarded on July 1, 2022, and the REO portion of the Sareb portfolio (€11 billion) was off-boarded on October 1, 2022.

Sareb's decision entails a reorganisation of Altamira's activities with the aim of operating on an adequate scale and preserving the profitability of the business in Iberia. Altamira is expected to be affected by a nonrecurring cost of maximum €15 million related to the reorganisation of personnel currently allocated to the management of the Sareb portfolio, to be incurred mainly in the second two quarters of 2022.

This outcome had already been anticipated as a possibility by doValue, as described in the 2022-2024 Business Plan presented by the Group on January 26, 2022. Given the highly competitive nature of the process conducted by Sareb over the past few months (which focused on the level of commissions payable by Sareb to servicers), the new contract would not have contributed positively to the Group profitability. Therefore, Sareb's decision does not have a material impact on the financial targets of the Business Plan 2022-2024 and the Group's overall strategic direction.

doValue's growth in Spain in 2023 and 2024, particularly in terms of EBITDA, will be driven by increased value extraction from the current GBV (excluding Sareb), new servicing agreements and new revenue streams. doValue confirms its targets for the Iberian Peninsula in terms of EBITDA for 2024 (€35-40 million), and the Group's broader financial targets as presented on January 26, 2022.

RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR

On February 24, 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine which led to a bitter conflict with the Ukrainian population and military armed forces. As a consequence, the Western countries, particularly the USA and the European Union, implemented various financial and economic sanctions against Russia. These sanctions, together with an increased geopolitical risk, have caused a considerable rise in volatility in the financial markets, which is still ongoing.

The doValue Group's direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine is negligible.

NEPTUNE PROJECT

In early April 2022, doValue, through its subsidiary doValue Greece, was awarded a new servicing mandate representing an additional Gross Book Value of approximately €500 million ("Neptune Project").

In 2020, an entity affiliated with funds managed by the Fortress Investment Group had acquired a portfolio from Alpha Bank for a Gross Book Value of approximately €1.1 billion by assigning a temporary servicing mandate to the Greek servicer CEPAL. With Neptune Project, doValue will assume the role of long-term servicer for the management of approximately 50% of the initial €1.1 billion portfolio. The onboarding of the portfolio was completed in April 2022. The portfolio comprises non-performing mortgage loans granted to corporates and small and medium enterprises in Greece.

ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of doValue (the "Shareholders' meeting") was held on April 28, 2022.

Specifically, the Shareholders:

  • approved the separate financial statements of doValue S.p.A. at December 31, 2021;
  • approved the distribution of dividends of approximately €39.5 million (corresponding to a dividend per share of €0.50);
  • approved the remuneration policy for 2021;
  • approved proposed departure from the 2021 remuneration policy, concerning the allocation of the variable remuneration of the CEO for 2021;
  • approved the 2022-2024 incentive plan;
  • granted a new authorisation to purchase treasury shares;
  • appointed Cristina Finocchi Mahne as the Company's director;
  • approved the integration of the 2021 audit fees due to EY S.p.A..

GACS ICCREA SECURITISATION

In May 2022, BCC Banca Iccrea completed a €650 million securitisation of non-performing loans backed by GACS guarantees. Seventy-one banks participated in the operation, of which 68 belonged to the BCC Iccrea Group, joined by Banca Valsabbina, Banca di Credito Popolare and Cassa di Risparmio di Asti. doValue assumed the role of master servicer and special servicer of the divested portfolio.

SKY PROJECT

doValue signed in May 2022, a memorandum of understanding ("MoU") with an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management ("Cerberus"), a global leader in alternative investments, for the exclusive management of a portfolio of non-performing loans originated in Cyprus with a Gross Book Value of approximately €2.2 billion ("Sky Project").

The MoU was executed by Altamira Asset Management Cyprus, a subsidiary of doValue.

The portfolio related to the Sky Project was originated by Alpha Bank Cyprus and consists of secured corporate, SME and retail loans disbursed to more than 7,000 borrowers. During the first part of 2021, Alpha Bank decided to divest this portfolio and, in February 2022, reached an agreement with Cerberus for the divestiture (closing is expected by the end of 2022, and conditional on regulatory approvals). doValue will assume the role of servicer of the portfolio from the closing until the run-off of the portfolio and will also assist in the interim management of the portfolio until the closing.

With Sky Project, doValue further diversifies its business by bringing Cerberus on board as a new customer.

ADMISSION TO THE STAR SEGMENT

In May 2022, doValue was admitted to trading for its ordinary shares on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of the Euronext Milan market.

Already admitted to trading on the MTA of Borsa Italiana (now Euronext Milan) since July 14, 2017, doValue's ordinary shares began trading on June 3, 2022 on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of the Euronext Milan market, which is dedicated to companies with excellent attributes in terms of transparency, communication, liquidity and corporate governance (already largely met by doValue).

As part of its admission to the Euronext STAR Milan segment, doValue engaged Mediobanca - Banca di Credito Finanziario S.p.A. as Specialist, in accordance with the Rules and Instructions of Borsa Italiana.

UNICREDIT GACS SECURITISATION

In June 2022, UniCredit completed a €1.1 billion securitisation of non-performing loans backed by GACS guarantees. About €500 million of the €1.1 billion, represents additional GBV for doValue as the remainder was already under management by the company.

doValue and doNext assumed the role of special servicer and master servicer respectively of the divested portfolio.

The onboarding of the portfolio was completed in the second quarter of 2022.

LAUNCH OF SME BUSINESS UNIT IN SPAIN

In line with the 2022-2024 Business Plan presented to the market on 26 January 2022, the subsidiary Altamira Asset Management formally created in the first part of 2022 a business unit dedicated to the management of Non-performing Loans related to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Spain and is investing significantly in its development.

The SME business unit employs about 40 professionals and currently manages about €3 billion Gross Book Value, a level that is expected to grow in the coming quarters. The current GBV under management is mainly composed of Non-performing Loans (NPLs), but the development plan of the SME business unit envisages expanding the business into the Unlikely to Pay (UTP) and Early Arrears categories.

The strengths of the SME business unit are its widespread presence throughout the territory (reflecting the dissemination of the SME segment), the fact that the unit is fully integrated with the doValue Group in terms of technology and IT systems, and the ability to leverage the Group-wide best practices already developed in Italy and Greece.

LAUNCH OF THE LEGAL SERVICES BUSINESS UNIT IN SPAIN

In line with the 2022-2024 Business Plan presented to the market on January 26, 2022, the subsidiary Altamira Asset Management formally established a new business unit in Spain dedicated to offering legal services to banks and institutional investors. The move is in line with the plan to further grow and diversify the portfolio of products and solutions offered by Altamira Asset Management to its existing and potential clients in Spain.

The Legal Services Business Unit employs more than 70 highly-qualified and specialised professionals covering all of Spain. The Legal Services business unit will provide support to both banks and institutional investors for the entire bankruptcy proceedings (including assistance with the preparation of legal documents, assistance with legal due diligence, trial management, auction management, out-of-court trial management, bankruptcy counselling and assistance with the further outsourcing of specialised legal counselling requirements).

CREDIT OUTLOOK IMPROVED TO POSITIVE BY FITCH

In July 2022, Fitch Ratings upgraded the Company's outlook to "Positive" (from "Stable") and confirmed the Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at "BB".

DoValue's €265m and €300m senior bonds maturing in 2025 and 2026 were also confirmed at 'BB'.

According to Fitch Ratings, the "Positive" outlook reflects the expectation of continued growth of doValue's business and further diversification across customers and geographies.

FRONTIER II PROJECT

On July 29, 2022, doValue, through its subsidiary doValue Greece, signed an agreement with the National Bank of Greece ("NBG") in relation to the management of a Greek portfolio consisting mainly of impaired mortgage loans (NPLs) with a Gross Book Value of approximately €1.0 billion ("Frontier II Project"). The agreement is conditional on completing the securitisation of the portfolio under the so-called Hellenic Asset Protection Scheme (HAPS), which is expected to be finalised in the second half of 2022. NBG awarded the Frontier II Project to doValue based on the confidence and track record established during the Frontier I Project process. The Frontier II Project is another important step for the Group in the implementation of the 2022-2024 Business Plan and represents another milestone for doValue in the consolidation of its position as a leading independent servicer in Greece.

Significant events after the end of the period

SAREB LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

In October 2022, doValue, through its subsidiary Altamira Asset Management, entered into a major agreement with Sareb for the provision of legal services.

Following the reassignment of the servicing contract in February 2022, Sareb decided to use qualified operators for legal support relating to its asset portfolio, as a specialised service separate from the commercial management of these same assets. Under the terms of the agreement, doValue will manage in legal terms the portfolio that was previously managed by its subsidiary Altamira Asset Management, and which includes approximately 40% of Sareb's legal proceedings.

The specific services provided for in the agreement with Sareb include preparing the documentation with a view to initiating specific legal proceedings, and also monitoring and controlling the recovery up to disposal (including preparing and monitoring auctions). The agreement provides for handling more than 4,500 legal proceedings.

DISPOSAL OF €450 MILLION SECONDARY NPL PORTFOLIO IN GREECE

Virgo Project, a €450 million GBV secondary portfolio disposal in Greece to a fund invested into by the EOS Group, was completed in the month of October 2022.

The portfolio has been carved out from the Frontier I HAPS securitisation vehicle which has been managed by doValue since the beginning of February 2022. The disposal, which was completed in the context of volatile market conditions, allows doValue to accelerate its collection activity in Greece whilst retaining the long-term servicing mandate on the €450 million GBV portfolio acquired by a fund invested into by the EOS Group.

The transaction also allows to further diversify doValue's institutional investor client base.

NEW SERVICING MANDATE FOR A €300 MILLION PORTFOLIO FROM FORTRESS IN SPAIN

Altamira Asset Management, a subsidiary of doValue, has been granted the management of a portfolio of non-performing loans by funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group ("Fortress") in Spain. The Gross Book Value (GBV) of the portfolio is approximately €300 million and the onboarding is expected by the end of 2022.

The portfolio, which has been recently sold by Santander to funds and accounts managed by Fortress, is composed of about 3,400 residential mortgages granted to around 2,000 individuals and is secured towards residential properties located in the main cities in Spain.

The new servicing mandate is an important step for the Group in the growth and diversification paths of its Spanish business, a key driver of the Business Plan 2022-2024 for the Iberia region and therefore for the Group as a whole.

In addition, the €300 million portfolio represents the first sizeable NPL portfolio investment of Fortress in the Spanish market after it set up its local office in Madrid in May 2022.

Outlook for operations

With respect to the current geopolitical crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, the Group continues to carefully monitor the consequences already underway: increase in inflation, slow down in global growth and greater volatility in financial markets and the increase in interest rates.

However, at the date of approval of this Report, given the high degree of uncertainty associated with potential developments of this crisis, it is difficult and probably premature to estimate the actual short-, medium- and long-term impact on the Group's operations. In general, recessionary macroeconomic scenarios could lead to a decrease in the recoverability rate of the current assets under management by the Group. However, at the same time, they could lead to new volumes of impaired loans by banks, the management of which, if outsourced, could result in an increase, in the medium term, of the assets managed by the Group.

As regards the current economic situation related to the effects of COVID-19, despite the operational continuity of doValue operations in all its markets and the gradual improvement of market conditions, the Group continues to carefully monitor the reduced activity of the legal system and public services in general which, thanks to electronic means, have resumed operations remotely, together with decisions on bank moratoria and developments in the real estate sector, which can affect the time needed to manage positions and collections.

The significant geographical, product and customer diversification and the flexibility of costs, in particular outsourcing costs and the employee incentive plan represent additional factors for the mitigation of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the other hand, more difficult macroeconomic conditions are likely to lead to an increase in the production of NPEs in the wake of an increase in the default rate. In particular, the pipeline of potential servicing agreements for 2022 across Southern Europe is currently estimated by doValue at around €19 billion and is likely to grow further in the coming months.

Finally, the doValue business model should be able to respond to the various phases of the economic cycle with the expansion of assets under management or collections, respectively, during the contraction or expansion phases of the cycle, in line with the Group's mission to support banks, investors, companies and individuals in all steps of credit management, fostering the sustainable development of the financial system.

Main risks and uncertainties

In consideration of the activities it performs and the results achieved, the financial position of the doValue Group is appropriately scaled to meet its needs.

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.

With regard to the main risks and uncertainties, the current financial markets' situation and the consequences of any economic and financial effects deriving from the spread of COVID-19 still involve elements of uncertainty, including in the event of more stable macroeconomic conditions than in the past. The current geopolitical crisis caused by the war in Ukraine continues to have serious repercussions on financial markets and global economic growth, causing an acceleration in inflation and a slowdown in global growth, as well as an increase in financial market volatility. As already described in the previous paragraph, at the date of approval of this Interim Report, given the high degree of uncertainty linked to potential evolutionary scenarios of the current crisis, it is difficult and probably premature to estimate the actual short, medium and long term impacts on the Group's activities as recessionary macroeconomic scenarios could lead to a decrease in both the recoverability rate and an increase in the medium term of the assets under management by the Group.

GOING CONCERN

In order to express an opinion on the going concern assumption used to prepare this Consolidated Interim Report at September 30, 2022, the risks and uncertainties to which the Group is exposed were carefully assessed:

  • in particular, the forecasts regarding the macroeconomic and public health scenarios characterised by the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants and the government and EU measures and the related potential impact on the Group;
  • in the sustainability assessment of assets as at September 30, 2022, the Group's solid capital base, financial position and confirmed ability to generate cash flows, as shown in the Group's 2022-2024 Business plan, and the characteristics of doValue's specific business model, which is capable of responding flexibly to the various phases of the economic cycle, were considered;
  • finally, assets under management and the contribution of new contracts for the management of portfolios recorded in the first nine months of 2022 were considered.

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

MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

As at September 30, 2022, 25.05% of the shares of the Parent Company doValue were owned by its largest shareholder, Avio S.a r.l, the reference shareholder, a company incorporated in Luxembourg, affiliated to the Fortress Group, which in turn was acquired by Softbank Group Corporation in December 2017. A further 3.22% of doValue shares are held by other investors similarly connected with Softbank Group Corporation, which thereby holds an overall stake of 28.27%.

As of September 30, 2022, the remaining 71.73% of the shares were placed on the market and 1.13% consisted of 902,120 treasury shares, valued at cost, for a total of €4.3 million held by the Parent Company. The reference shareholder does not exercise any management or coordination powers over doValue pursuant to Article 2497 et seq. of the Civil Code, as it does not issue directives to doValue and, more generally, does not interfere in the management of the Group. Accordingly, the strategic and management policies of the doValue Group and all of its activities in general are the product of the independent selfdetermination of the corporate bodies and do not involve external management by Avio.

The Parent Company doValue exercises its management and coordination powers over its direct subsidiaries as provided for in the legislation referred to above.

TRANSACTIONS IN TREASURY SHARES

At September 30, 2022, doValue held 902,120 treasury shares, equal to 1.13% of the total share capital. Their book value is €4.3 million and they are recognised as a direct reduction of shareholders' equity under "Treasury shares" pursuant to article 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code.

The ordinary shareholders' meeting of April 28, 2022 revoked the authorisation to purchase and sell treasury shares conferred by said meeting to doValue's Board of Directors by means of resolution of April 29, 2021. At the same time, a new authorisation to purchase treasury shares in one or more transactions was conferred, according to the same terms and conditions pursuant to the previous shareholders' meeting resolution, i.e. up to 8,000,000 ordinary shares of doValue S.p.A., equal to 10% of the total, for a period of 18 months from the shareholders' meeting approval.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the period the Group continued to invest in a number of technological innovation projects, which are expected to bring a competitive advantage in the future.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The business of the doValue Group is linked to people and the enhancement and development of professional skills are strategic drivers to ensure innovation and sustainable growth. doValue continues to invest in its people through policies aimed at enhancing and developing human resources, with the aim of consolidating a climate of corporate satisfaction.

At the end of the third quarter of 2022, the number of Group employees was 3,237, compared to 3,153 at the end of 2021.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In compliance with the provisions of the "Rules for Transactions with Related Parties" referred to in Consob Resolution no. 17221 of March 12, 2010, as amended, any transaction with related parties and connected persons shall be defined in accordance with the procedure approved by the Board of Directors, whose most recent update was approved at the meeting held on June 17, 2021.

This document is available to the public in the "Governance" section of the company website www.doValue.it.

With reference to paragraph 8 of art. 5 - "Public information on transactions with related parties" of the Consob Regulation cited above, it should be noted that:

  • A. on the basis of the related party transaction policy adopted by the Board of Directors of doValue S.p.A., in the first nine months of 2022, no transactions of greater importance were carried out;
  • B. in the first nine months of 2022, no transactions with related parties were carried out at other than market conditions, which have significantly affected the Group's financial position and financial performance;

C. in the first nine months of 2022, the intangible assets recognised in respect of Frontier Project increased by €6.1 million. This transaction meets the definition of transaction of greater importance as per point a) of the Directors' Report of the Group at December 31, 2021. This is due to a contract provision included in the agreement signed in 2021 and is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions that, at September 30, 2022, are deemed highly probable.

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.
