Company information and business performance

During the first half of 2022, the business performance recorded consolidated revenues of the Servizi Italia Group of Euro 134,042 thousand, with an increase of 7.1% (+7.4% at constant exchange rates) compared to the first half of 2021.

Please note the following as regards revenue from sales and services by sector in the first half of 2022 and the first half of 2021:

  • Revenues deriving from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 75.9% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 95,105 thousand in the first six months of 2021 to Euro 101,767 thousand in the same period of 2022, recording an increase of 7.0 % (or 7.4% at constant exchange rates), supported by an important growth in the Italian wash-hire sector which recorded an increase in revenues of 6.5%, an increase connected both to the tenders in the north-east of Italy and to the full recovery of the hotel business which in the first six months of 2021 was essentially irrelevant due to Covid. Revenues in the Brazil area show a positive change in the period of 13.9% mainly driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the Euro (exchange rate effect +16.4%), albeit characterized by a slight decrease in the local currency (-2.5%). The Turkish area recorded a growth in terms of local currency of 59.7%, offset by a negative exchange rate effect of 66.1% (depreciation of the Turkish Lira against the Euro) which led to a negative change of turnover of 6.5%.
  • Revenues from linen sterilization services (Steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 6.9% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 9,110 thousand in the first six months of 2021 to Euro 9,264 thousand, with an increase of 1.7% due to greater supplies of single use material in the centre of Italy.
  • Revenues from surgical instruments sterilization services (Steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 17.2% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 20,894 thousand in 2021 to Euro 23,011 thousand in 2022, with an increase of 10.1% mainly due to new orders in the north-east are of Italy

and to the growth recorded in the period by Steritek S.p.A. for validation services (7.1% in absolute terms on the revenues recorded by the segment) which accounts for 0.7% of the line growth. It should also be noted that the growth is driven by the recovery of the operating activities recorded in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

The graph below shows the details of revenue by business line.

The table below shows revenue from sales and services of the Servizi Italia Group by region, broken down by geographical area, for the periods ending on 30 June 2022 and 2021:

Sales revenues 134,042 100.0% 125,109 100.0% 7.1% 7.4% -0.3%

Consolidated EBITDA went from Euro 33,454 thousand in the first six months of 2021 to Euro 29,475 in the same period of 2022, going from 26.7% to 22.0% of revenues or a decrease in absolute value of 4.8%. It should be noted that the first half of 2021 was positively influenced by the capital gain relating to the sale of the workwear branch of Euro 1.5 million as well as by premiums on certain strategic supplies underlying the start of the orders in the north-east of Italy for Euro 1.2 million. In the first half of 2022 there was a negative impact relating to "ISTAT effective date" on Prog.Este S.p.A. for Euro 1,103 thousand, more than offset by the excellent performance of the sterilization lines and the significant recovery in turnover recorded by the wash-hire segment. The contraction in the EBITDA margin is mainly affected by the growth in costs for services (+2.9%) which is mainly connected to the increases recorded by users such as gas (+2.4% on the EBITDA margin) and electricity (+0.4% on the EBITDA margin). Moreover, it should be noted that the energy price increases have a different specific weight on the operating segments, in fact the wash-hire alone absorbs about 89% of the energy price increases recorded in the period. Personnel costs were essentially in line in terms of incidence on turnover (-0.1%) compared to the previous period, albeit growing in absolute value (+6.7%) following

the increase in the number of Group employees. In the period there was a slight decrease in operating margin results in the Brazil area (EBITDA margin going from 31.1% to 27.9%), and a significant decrease in Turkey (EBITDA margin which going from 28.6% 2.4%) mainly due to the increases recorded in the period, in different proportions in the respective countries. In fact, it should be noted that the sharp contraction in margins in the Turkey area is mainly attributable to the sudden growth in inflation recorded in 2022 and which directly impacted operating costs.

The consolidated operating result (EBIT) went from Euro 6,276 thousand during the first six months of 2021 (5.0% compared to the turnover for the period) to Euro 1,193 thousand during the same period in 2022 (+0.9% compared to the turnover for the period), mainly due to the dynamics already described in the comment on the change in turnover and EBITDA even though with a lower incidence of amortisation and depreciation for the period.

Financial management showed an increase in financial income compared to the same period of the previous year mainly due to exchange gains relating to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the Euro, to the remeasurement of the debt connected to the put/call option to shareholders of the company Steritek S.p.A. for Euro 238 thousand as well as to the effect connected to the high inflation on the monetary items in the Turkey area following the application of the accounting standard IAS 29 for a total of Euro 641 thousand. It should also be noted that the revaluations of some companies valued according to the equity method for a total of Euro 1.619 thousand had a positive impact on the results for the period.

Taxes for the period are negative for Euro 237 thousand with an incidence on the pre-tax result of 10.9% and mainly concern current taxes for the period.

Therefore, the consolidated intermediate financial statements as at 30 June 2022 closed with a net profit of Euro 1,945 thousand compared to the net profit of Euro 4,373 thousand for the same period of the year.

Transactions with parent companies and associates

Servizi Italia S.p.A.'s transactions with subsidiaries, associates, jointly controlled companies and parent companies mainly relate to: (i) dealings associated with commercial service agreements; (ii) financial dealings, represented by loans. These transactions are described in detail in the explanatory notes to the Financial Statements, in section 8.

It should also be noted that, in addition to the Regulations adopted by Consob by means of resolution No. 17221 dated 12 March 2010, as amended, on 24 November 2010 the Board of Directors approved the Regulations for related party transactions, posted on the Company's website, and subsequently last updated on 25 June 2021.

Information on treasury shares and/or shareholdings in parent companies

The Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021 renewed the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, subsequent to the previous revocation of the authorisation for the purchase and disposal of treasury shares resolved on 28 April 2020. The Board of Directors of Servizi Italia, in implementation of the resolution passed by the

Shareholders' Meeting authorizing the purchase and disposal of treasury shares, resolved to renew the treasury share purchase program. Pursuant to art. 144-bis of the Regulation adopted with Consob resolution no. 11971/99 ("Issuers' Regulation") and having regard to art. 2 of the EU Delegated Regulation 2016/1052 and to Consob guidelines, the details of the purchase program are provided below.

Program's objective: the treasury shares purchase plan - in accordance with the resolution of the Company's Shareholders' Meeting today - aims to establish a stock of treasury shares to possibly use as consideration in extraordinary transactions and/or in trades and/or in the disposal of equity investments, and simultaneously represents an efficient investment opportunity for the company's liquidity.

Maximum quantity of shares to be purchased and maximum countervalue: the maximum quantity of treasury shares to be purchased in execution of the program, in compliance with the authorization of the Shareholders' Meeting of 20 April 2021, is equal to 6,361,890 ordinary shares of the Company (corresponding to a fifth of the share capital), considering the shares already held by the Company from time to time. The maximum amount of money earmarked for the execution of the program is estimated at an amount not exceeding Euro 14.5 million. The purchase may take place in multiple solutions, in compliance with the aforementioned Shareholders' Meeting authorization.

Duration of the program: the duration of the program was identified by the Board of Directors in the period 21 April 2021 - 20 October 2022, inclusive. It is recalled that: (i) the authorization to purchase treasury shares approved by today's Shareholders' Meeting has a duration of 18 months from the date of the resolution and will in fact expire on 20 October 2022; while (ii) the authorization to dispose of treasury shares, even before the purchases have been completed, was given by the Shareholders' Meeting without time limits.

Purchase procedure: in accordance with authorisation by the shareholders' meeting on 20 April 2021, purchases of treasury shares will be conducted on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA, electronic stock market) through the broker INTERMONTE SIM S.p.A., in accordance with the operating methods and at the price conditions pursuant to the provisions of Articles 3 and 4, paragraph 2, letter b) of Delegated Regulation EU 2016/1052, and in accordance with the principle of equality of treatment of Shareholders and the guidelines adopted by the Supervisory Authority. In particular, the purchase price of each share must be, as a minimum, at least 20% and, as a maximum, not greater than 20% of the weighted average of the official prices of the shares recorded by Borsa Italiana on the MTA in the 3 days prior to each individual purchase, without prejudice to the fact that it cannot be greater than the higher of the last independent transaction and the highest current independent asking price on the MTA, in accordance with the shareholders' resolution of 20 April 2021 and any other applicable regulations (even European). Furthermore, the shares purchased during each session may not exceed 25% of the average daily volume of Servizi Italia S.p.A. shares traded on the MTA, calculated based on the daily average volume of trades in the 20 trading days prior to the purchase date.

As at 30 June 2022, the company held 2,260,039 treasury shares, equal to 7.10% of share capital, as a result of the purchases and sales made on the market regulated and managed by Borsa Italiana.

On 1 August 2022, the Company announced that up to 29 July 2022 it had acquired 2,286,514 treasury shares on the market regulated and managed by Borsa Italiana, equal to 7.19% of the share capital.

Significant events and transactions

On 15 April 2022 the Parent Company received from the project company Prog.Este. S.p.A. a communication in which the loss of the same is announced at the Court of Appeal of Bologna, and the waiver of further appeal regarding the lawsuit brought by the Hospital of Ferrara and qualified as "ISTAT effective date". The sentence established the correct starting date for the application of ISTAT for the period on the enhancement of the services offered, which accrues not from the date of stipulation of the project financing (2006), but from the following year, that is to say from 31 December 2007. The period subject to recalculation pertaining to Servizi Italia concerns the years from 2014 to 2021 for a total amount of Euro 1,103 thousand. The Parent Company has made provision for the aforementioned amount during the period, which is exceptional in terms of both the amount and its occurrence.

On 20 April 2022, the ordinary session of the Shareholders' Meeting:

  • approved the financial statements of the Parent Company closed on 31 December 2021 and the allocation of the result for the year;
  • it expressed its favourable opinion on the second section of the Report on the remuneration policy of Servizi Italia S.p.A. and on the remuneration paid;
  • appointed the supplementary members of the Board of Statutory Auditors, also determining their relative remuneration.

Covid-19 disclosure

The Covid-19 viral epidemic has imposed the need to contain epidemiological development as much as possible, leading to changes in hospital procedures and activities regarding hygiene guarantees for medical and nursing staff, for wards and in-patients designated for the treatment of infections caused by the Coronavirus. All the activities of the Group, which operates in strict compliance with the relevant regulations, were only in part influenced by the evolution of the contingent epidemiological situation during the period without recording significant impacts. We are confident that the effects associated with the pandemic risk will gradually diminish and that the Group will be able to adapt, as it has done in the past, to the consequent regulatory and market changes.

Significant events after the end of the half

On 15 July 2022, Servizi Italia S.p.A. announced to have completed the purchase by exercising a call option for the same of a further 25% of the share capital of Steritek S.p.A., thus now holding 95% of the share capital. The consideration for 25% of the share capital of Steritek was equal to Euro 1.34 million. The definition of the price was based on the 2020 and 2021 results subject to statutory audit and on the net financial position of Steritek at the date of exercise of the call option. The transaction follows what was communicated on 5 September 2017 and is implemented with the same purposes that will allow Servizi Italia to hold 100% of Steritek S.p.A., breaking down the acquisition of the residual capital into two stages:

  • i. Acquisition on 15 July 2022 of 25% of the share capital of Steritek through the exercise of a call option;
  • ii. Assignment to Servizi Italia and to the seller, holder of the residual 5% of the share capital of Steritek and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, of respectively buy (call) and sell (put) options, aimed at allowing Servizi Italia to hold the entire capital of Steritek within 4 years (2026) or within 7 years (2029).

The deferred purchase of the remaining 5% of the shares (which has a floor of Euro 268 thousand) is aimed at further consolidating the profitable partnership between Servizi Italia and the seller. For more information, please refer to the press release on the Parent Company's website.

Business outlook

Although the short and medium-term forecasts are complex due to the destabilizing geopolitical context and the significant price increases recorded, for the year 2022 the Group anticipates positive results in Italy and Brazil, while the relative evolving scenario is more complex in relation to Turkey, increasingly oppressed by a context of growing inflation and currency volatility which affects operating costs and financial charges more than proportionally warranted compared to the other areas in which the Group operates. At the basis of the sound elements to counter this moment of uncertainty is the Group's customer portfolio, which is presumed not to be affected directly by the "Donbass crisis". Moreover, the Group does not operate directly with stakeholders involved in economic restrictions approved by the European Council through Decision (EU) 2022/266 and Regulation (EU) 2022/263. For the next few months, margin recovery actions are also planned aimed at the recognition to customers of a temporary refund aimed at partially mitigating the significant

increase in energy costs. In the medium-term strategy, despite the uncertainty of a situation deriving from an increase in energy and raw material costs which is presumed to persist beyond the current year, the Group expects an organic consolidation of its leadership position in the Italian and foreign market and a continuous search for optimization and efficiencies. The Group will continue to operate to reach its objectives and comply with commitments undertaken and aims to maintain a solid capital situation through an adequate financial balance and good creditworthiness with banking institutions.

Derivatives

As of 30 June 2022, the Group has no management policies for derivative financial instruments. Some not wholly-owned companies which are not, therefore, consolidated on a line-by-line basis have taken out derivative financial instruments to hedge the risk of fluctuations in interest rates on loans taken out as part of project financing, given the significant amount of financial commitments undertaken and the over ten-year duration of the same. The economic and financial effects of such derivatives are incorporated into the valuations of equity investments in the companies that hold them.

Risk management information

The Group has developed a model based on an integrated and adequate risk management and internal control system. All main risks arising from the "core business" were identified, measured and managed, using the process of analysis of the risks according to the principles of the new COSO-ERM framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission) - (Enterprise Risk Management):

  • governance and risk culture;
  • strategy and definition of risk targets;
  • risk analysis;
  • risk information, communication and reporting;
  • monitoring of the performance of the risk model.

The model adopted by the Group is meant to ensure the Company's continuity and the adequacy of its processes, activities and services in terms of:

  1. Business objectives:

  2. achievement of objectives set within company strategies;

  3. effective and efficient use of organisational resources.

2. Governance objectives:

  • ensuring the reliability, accuracy, trustworthiness and timeliness of financial reporting;
  • preservation of the company assets;
  • compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, ethical and company rules;
  • protection of ethical and social responsibilities;
  • sustainable success.

The Board of Directors, through the Manager of the internal control and risk management system and the Head of Internal Audit, has implemented special processes to identify the responsibilities for the control of the risk, so as to ensure the soundness and the continuity of the business in the long term.

To this end, an internal control system has been set up to monitor the risks associated with the activity. In particular, this control system has been reflected in the internal regulations of the Group and of the different companies subject to coordination and control (for example, Model 231/01, Code of Ethics, Guidelines for the internal control and risk management system, Group Policies relating to the Servizi Italia compliance program).

The internal risk control system of the Servizi Italia Group is divided into three levels:

    1. first level: the operating units identify, assess, monitor, mitigate and report the risks deriving from the ordinary business activity, ensuring that operations are in line with the risk limits and targets assigned;
    1. second level: the Director in charge of the internal control system is responsible for the control of all categories of risk and must provide a clear representation to the Governance and Related Parties Committee or to the Board of Directors of the risk profile of the Group as a whole and its soundness;
    1. third level: Internal Auditing, which reports directly to the Board of Directors, also with the contribution of external qualified officers/professionals local representatives for an adequate third level procedure, assesses the suitability of the overall internal control and risk management system to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of processes, the safeguarding of company assets, the reliability and integrity of accounting and management information, compliance with internal and external regulations and management instructions.

The risk control process is common to all control functions, in line with reference best practices; the different types of risks are defined in the Group Risk Policy, which is subject to periodic updating at least once a year. The Risks Map represents the Group's Risk Appetite Framework (hereinafter, in brief, also "RAF"), i.e. the key instrument with which the Board of Directors defines the propensity to risk, tolerance thresholds, sustainable risk limits, risk governance policies and the framework of related organisational processes. The RAF and, therefore, the internal regulations on risk management also consider aspects related to the management of the risks of a social, environmental and economic nature (ESG).

Information on proceedings in progress

The Parent Company has proceedings in progress before the Court of Modena for the administrative liability of legal entities - pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 - for an alleged violation of Art. 319 of the Italian Criminal Code, with reference to the awarding of a tender issued by AOU Policlinico di Modena for a nine-year "Global Service" contract, through resolution of 19.12.2008 to the RTI (temporary joint consortium) established by Coopservice Soc.Coop.p.A., in its capacity as lead contractor, and by other companies including Servizi Italia S.p.A., Padana Everest S.r.l. and Lavanderia Industriale ZBM S.p.A. (companies subsequently merged by incorporation into Servizi Italia S.p.A.) as principals. It should be noted that, at the hearing on 16 February 2021, the Court of Modena ruled in favour of the Chairman, Mr. Roberto Olivi and Messrs. Enea Righi and Luciano Facchini, former directors with powers of representation of Servizi Italia, judgement of not having to proceed due to prescription with consequent extinction of the disputed crime. Currently, therefore, as specified above, the procedure continues exclusively against the entities so as to initiate the investigation also

in terms of the non-existence of the predicate offence already declared prescribed in relation to the predicate offences referred to in Legislative Decree no. 231 of 2001. For completeness, it should be noted that to date the contracting authority has not revoked the contract, nor communicated its intention to evaluate the possible revocation of the same.

In January 2019, Servizi Italia was awarded, as principal, the RTI formed by Coopservice Soc. Coop p.a., Servizi Italia S.p.A. and others, in relation to the contract for the assignment of the management of integrated support services to the person at the University Hospital of Bologna for a period of six years and for an annual value, limited to Servizi Italia's share, equal to approximately Euro 4 million. On 20 August 2020, the Council of State unexpectedly overturned the previous rulings of the Regional Administrative Court and of the Council of State which, by cancelling the request for suspension by the plaintiff, had allowed the Temporary Joint Venture of which Servizi Italia is a party to take over during the month of February 2020 in the provision of the service following the award. In view of this last ruling, acting in the name and on behalf of the above mentioned Temporary Joint Venture, pursuant to art. 395 of the Code of Civil Procedure and to art. 106 of the Code of Administrative Procedure, the parent company unsuccessfully proposed an appeal for revocation before the Council of State. To date, an appeal is pending before the Supreme Court of Cassation for lack of jurisdiction.

The Group, having carried out the necessary verifications and assessed with the support of its legal consultants, on the one hand, the soundness of its defensive arguments and, on the other, the uncertainty and unreliability of the current estimate of possible economic damage, has not yet decided to make provisions in the financial statements.

Risk Factors

In order to minimise different types of risks to which it is exposed, the Group has adopted time scales and control methods that allow Company management to monitor risks and to appropriately inform the Director in charge of the internal control system and (also through him) the Board of Directors.

Without prejudice to the principle of continuous monitoring and considering the characteristics of the Group's activities, a review of the risk assessment indicates that the Group has been able to achieve the desired mitigation of the primary operational, financial, strategic and compliance risks identified by taking the planned organisational and operating measures and implementing and documenting control points within company processes.

The Servizi Italia Group's activities are exposed to various risk types, including interest rate fluctuations and credit, liquidity and cash flow risks. To minimise such risks, the Group has adopted timescales and control methods which allow the company Management to monitor risks and inform the Board of Directors so that it may approve all transactions involving a commitment by the Group with respect to third-party lenders.

Other information

Servizi Italia S.p.A., pursuant to article 3 of the Consob Resolution no. 18079 of 20 January 2012, decided to join the out-put regime set forth in articles 70, paragraph 8, and 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Consob Regulations n. 11971/99 (as amended), availing itself of the right to derogate from the

obligation to publish the information documents as set forth in annex 3B of the above mentioned Consob Regulations when carrying out significant merging, demerging, share capital increases through contributions in kind, acquisitions and transfer operations.

In the first months of the year, several meetings were held between the Parent Company and the trade unions during which, taking into account the reference context, which remains critical compared to 2021, as well as the recent conflict in Ukraine and the related repercussions in terms of energy price increases, the Parties agreed to sign a supplementary agreement that envisages a different validity from the regulatory and economic parts.

As a result of the above, the new Supplementary Agreement was signed on 9 June 2022, with a threeyear duration (2022-2024) for the regulatory part and annual validity as regards the regulation of the Performance Bonus (2022).

Training and development

In the first half of 2022, implementation began of the activities envisaged by the Annual Training Program for the current year. In addition to guaranteeing constant updating of all staff, the training main objectives focused on supporting the professional development of junior employees and strengthening the skills of those with roles of responsibility, aware that these processes represent strategic leverage for the growth of the company.

The main training areas were:

  • Health and safety at work, also in addition to the mandatory one provided for by Legislative Decree 81/08, in order to promote the culture of safety;
  • Technical/specialist training for the updating of specific skills;
  • Training on energy, environmental and sustainability issues to bring management closer to the ecological transition process.

Finally, thanks also to the relaxation of the restrictions on face-to-face training due to Covid-19, it was possible to resume team building and team coaching paths to support the organizational change that is affecting, in particular, the Service Management area and which involved warehouse managers, supply chain specialists and buyers.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

1 Foreword

These half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2022 of the Servizi Italia Group, subject to limited audit, have been prepared in compliance with Art. 154 ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1999 as amended as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), on the basis of the text published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEC). These half-year financial statements have been prepared in "condensed" form as established by IAS 34, and therefore do not include all the information normally included in the annual financial statements and must therefore be read together with the Group's consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021.

The condensed half-yearly financial statements include the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, the consolidated cash flow statement and the notes, in line with the requirements of IFRS.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements were drafted in compliance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Union at the time of drafting of these financial statements. IFRS mean also all revised international accounting standards (IAS) and all interpretations of the International Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), previously known as the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied as from 1 January 2022

The following IFRS accounting principles, amendments and interpretations were applied for the first time by the Group starting on 1 January 2022:

  • On 14 May 2020, the IASB published the following amendments:
    • o Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations: the purpose of the amendments is to update the reference in IFRS 3 to the revised Conceptual Framework, without this implying changes to the provisions of the standard.
    • o Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: the purpose of the amendments is not to allow the deduction from the cost of tangible assets the amount received from the sale of assets produced in the test phase of the same assets. These sales revenues and the related costs will therefore be recognized in the income statement.
    • o Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: the amendment clarifies that all costs directly attributable to the contract must be considered in the estimate of the possible cost of a contract. Consequently, the assessment of the possible cost of a contract includes not only incremental costs (such as, for example, the cost of the direct material used in the processing), but also all the costs that the company cannot avoid since it has stipulated the contract (such as, for example, the portion of depreciation of the machinery used to fulfil the contract).
    • o Annual Improvements 2018-2020: the amendments were made to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples of IFRS 16 Leases.

The adoption of these amendments did not impact the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations approved by the European Union, not yet mandatorily applicable and not early adopted by the Group as at 30 June 2022

• On 12 February 2021, the IASB published two amendments called "Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2" and "Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8". The amendments are aimed at improving disclosure on accounting policies in order to provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements and to help companies distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The amendments will apply from 1 January 2023, though early adoption is allowed.

Directors do not expect any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when these amendments are adopted.

IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations still not approved by the European Union.

At the reference date of this document report, the European Union had not yet concluded the approval process needed for the adoption of the amendments and standards described below.

• On 23 January 2020, the IASB published an amendment entitled "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current". The purpose of the document is to clarify how to classify payables and other short or long-term liabilities. The amendments come into effect on 1 January 2023; early adoption is in any case allowed.

• On 7 May 2021, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction". The document clarifies how deferred taxes on certain transactions which can generate assets and liabilities of the same amount, such as leasing and dismantling obligations, must be accounted for. The amendments will apply from 1 January 2023, though early adoption is allowed. Directors do not expect any significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group when this amendment is adopted.

2 The Company as part of a group

Servizi Italia S.p.A. is a subsidiary of the Coopservice S.c.p.A. group, with registered offices in Reggio Emilia, which holds a controlling shareholding via the company Aurum S.p.A.; therefore, said entity indirectly controls the Servizi Italia Group.

Servizi Italia S.p.A. is not subject to management and coordination by either the direct parent company Aurum S.p.A. or the indirect parent company Coopservice S.c.p.A. In fact, Servizi Italia S.p.A. operates in conditions of corporate and entrepreneurial autonomy and in commercial relations with its customers and suppliers and independently defines its business plans and/or budgets. Furthermore, Servizi Italia S.p.A. - in compliance with the provisions of Italian Law No. 262 dated 28 December 2005 - has adopted all the necessary measures which permit it not to be subject to management and coordination activities.

3 Consolidation principles and accounting standards

3.1 Consolidation principles

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2022 include the financial statements of Servizi Italia S.p.A. and of the companies over which it exercises direct or indirect control, beginning on the date on which it is acquired and until the date on which it is no longer held.

3.3 Accounting standards and basis of preparation

The accounting standards and basis of preparation, reported in the introduction to the Notes to the financial statements, are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021, which should be referred to for a description, with the exception of the IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations applied for the first time as at 1 January 2022 and described, together with the effects on the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements, in the introduction to these Notes and with the exception of IAS 29 in relation to the financial statements of the subsidiary Ankates in Turkey.

In particular, during the second quarter of 2022 the cumulative rate of inflation in the last three years in Turkey exceeded the value of 100%. This, together with other characteristics of the country's economy, led the Group to adopt, starting from 1 January 2022, with reference to the subsidiary Ankateks, the IAS 29 accounting standard - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies - as a result of which the values of non-monetary assets and liabilities present in the financial statements are revalued to eliminate the distorting effects due to the loss of purchasing power of the local currency. Gains or losses on the net monetary position are charged to the income statement.

The application of IAS 29 mainly shows a revaluation effect on the net assets of the subsidiary Ankateks equal to Euro 3,380 thousand, of which Euro 2,739 thousand recognised in the equity reserve while Euro 641 thousand recognised as financial income as a revaluation of monetary assets.

The rate of inflation used for the purpose of adopting hyper-inflation accounting corresponds to the consumer price index.

The half-year condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2022 were drafted on the basis of the going concern assumption.

4 Risk management policy

Within the Servizi Italia Group, specific organisational directives centrally govern risk management and control over all transactions relevant to the composition of financial and/or trade assets and liabilities.

The Servizi Italia Group's activities are exposed to various risk types, including interest rate fluctuations and credit, liquidity, cash flow risks and currency-type risks.

To minimise such risks, the Servizi Italia Group has adopted timescales and control methods, which allow the company management to monitor this risk and inform the Board of Directors so that it may approve all transactions involving a commitment by the Company with respect to third parties.

The principal internal and external risks to which the Group is exposed are described in the directors' report accompanying the separate financial statements as at 31 December 2021. A description of market risks and the relative hedging policies is provided below.

4.1 Type of risks hedged

Exchange rate risk

The investments in Brazil, Turkey, India, Albania and Morocco have positioned the Group in an international context, exposing it to exchange rate risk generated by fluctuations in the Euro/Real, Euro/Turkish Lira, Euro/Indian Rupee, Euro/Albanian Lek and Euro/Moroccan Dirham exchange rates.

The assessment of exchange rate risk weights the risk of currency fluctuations with the size and time distribution of the cash flows expressed in foreign currency and with the cost of any hedging transactions. The assessments, taking into account the fact that no capital repatriation is expected from abroad in the short term, have led to the decision not to hedge against currency risk.

Credit risk

The credit risk is constantly monitored by means of periodic processing of past due situations which are subject to the analysis of the Group's financial structure. The Group is also equipped with recovery procedures for problem receivables and avails itself of the assistance of legal advisors in the event of disputes being established.

In light of the fact that customers are predominantly public companies, default risk is deemed low. However, these customers have extended payment times which depend on loans received by the local health units and hospitals from the Regions. Currently, the average days sales outstanding are 93.

Trade receivables shown in the financial statements are adjusted for expected losses according to a model that refers to an expected loss for the entire life of trade receivables in accordance with the simplified approach envisaged by IFRS 9. The expected loss rates applied are substantially in line with those indicated in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2021.

Liquidity risk

To correctly manage liquidity risk, an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents must be maintained. In light of the predominantly public nature of the group's customers and the average collection times, cash and cash equivalents are obtained primarily from accounts receivable financing and, to a lesser extent, from medium-term, unsecured credit lines. The Group also uses factoring without recourse.

Interest rate risk

The Group's net financial debt primarily comprises short-term payables which, as at 31 June 2022, represent approximately 64% of its debt, at an average annual rate of around 0.46% in relation to the short-term payables to banks. With regard to the global financial crisis, the Group is monitoring the market and assessing the appropriateness of taking out hedging transactions on the rates in order to

limit the negative impacts of changes in interest rates on the company's consolidated income statement. The table below demonstrates the effect that would be generated by a 0.5% increase or decrease in rates (in thousands of Euros).

(thousands of Euros) 0.5% rate increase 0.5% rate decrease
30 June 2022 31 December 2021 30 June 2022 31 December 2021
Financial receivables +23 +48 (23) (48)
Financial payables +305 +612 (305) (612)
Factoring of receivables +235 +434 (235) (434)

4.2 Fair value information

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost. Shareholdings in other companies relate to investments of a strategic and production nature, all of which are in fact held in relation to the management of contracts or licenses.

These equity investments usually cannot be freely transferred to third parties, since they are subject to rules and agreements that in practice prevent their free circulation. The equity investments in other companies are recognised at the fair value if there is an active market for the securities representative of these equity investments. The profits or the losses deriving from changes in the fair value are recognised directly in the Income Statement. If an active market is not available, which is the case for all equity investments held by the Company as at 30 June 2022, equity investments in other companies are recognised at the cost of purchase or set-up, reduced for any impairment or capital refund, as best estimate of the fair value.

The Group does not hold financial instruments measured at fair value with an active market. Therefore, no classification based on input quality is provided.

5 Segment reporting

The Servizi Italia Group's reporting by activity segment is organised as follows:

  • Wash hire: this includes (i) planning and provision of integrated hire, reconditioning (disinfection, washing, finishing and packaging) and logistics (pick-up and distribution to usage centres) services for textile items, mattresses and accessories, (ii) rental and washing of high visibility "118" emergency service items and (iii) logistics, transport and management of hospital linen storage facilities;
  • Linen sterilisation (Steril B): this includes the planning and rental of sterile medical devices for operating rooms (linens for operating rooms and scrubs) packed in kits for the operating areas, in cotton or in re-usable technical fabric, as well as personal protection equipment;
  • Sterilisation of surgical instruments (Steril C): this includes (i) the design and supply of washing, packaging and sterilisation services for surgical instruments (owned or rented) as well as accessories for operating rooms, (ii) the design, installation and renovation of sterilisation centres and, (iii) system validation and control services for sterilisation processes and surgical instrument washing systems.

In terms of geographical areas, please note that the Servizi Italia Group:

  • the company operates in Italian territory, with the exception of the Brazilian companies Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A., Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A., Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A. and Aqualav Serviços De Higienização Ltda held through the subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda, as well as the Turkish companies Ankateks Turizm İnşaat Tekstil Temizleme Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd Şirketi and Ergülteks Temizlik Tekstil Ltd. Sti.
  • mainly offers the same types of services in each geographical area in Italy and abroad.

As a result, information is not presented by geographical area, with the exception of revenue, which is broken down by region in paragraph 7.1.

The Servizi Italia Group considers the breakdown by business area to be more significant. The core business areas are identified based on how the Group is managed, how management responsibilities are attributed and how business reporting is analysed by the management.

(a) EBITDA is not an accounting measurement under the IFRSs endorsed by the European Union. Group management has defined EBITDA as the difference between the value of sales and services and operating costs before depreciation, amortisation, writedowns, impairment and provisions.

Revenues deriving from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 75.9% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 95,105 thousand in the first six months of 2021 to Euro 101,767 thousand in the same period of 2022, recording an increase of 7.0 % (or 7.4% at constant exchange rates), supported by an important growth in the Italian wash-hire sector which recorded an increase in revenues of 6.5%, an increase connected both to the tenders in the north-east of Italy and to the full recovery of the hotel business which in the first quarter of 2021 was essentially irrelevant due to Covid. Revenues in the Brazil area show a positive change in the period of 13.9% mainly driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the Euro (exchange rate effect +16.4%), albeit characterized by a slight organic decrease in the local currency (-2.5%). The Turkish area recorded a growth in terms of local currency of 59.7%, offset by an exceptional negative exchange rate effect of 66.1% (depreciation of the Turkish Lira against the Euro) which led to a negative change of turnover of 6.5%.

Revenues from linen sterilization services (Steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 6.9% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 9,110 thousand in the first six months of 2021 to Euro 9,264 thousand, with an increase of 1.7% due to greater supplies of single use material in the centre of Italy.

Revenues from surgical instruments sterilization services (Steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 17.2% of the Group's revenues) go from Euro 20,894 thousand in 2021 to Euro 23,011 thousand in 2022, with an increase of 10.1% mainly due to new orders in the north-east are of Italy and to the growth recorded in the period by Steritek S.p.A. for validation services (7.1% in absolute terms on the revenues recorded by the segment) which accounts for 0.7% of the line growth. It should also be noted that the growth is driven by the recovery of the operating activities recorded in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of the 2021 financial year.

6.3 Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the Servizi Italia Group's cash generating units identified on the basis of geographical area, which reflects the areas of operation of the companies acquired over the years.

Goodwill is allocated by geographical area as follows:

CGU Brazil 6,519 - 1,066 7,585
Total 62,684 - 524 63,208

The change in the period is attributable to exchange differences from the translation into Euros of goodwill arising from acquisitions in Brazil and Turkey.

Except for the portion of goodwill relating to CGU Steritek (surgical instrument sterilisation operating segment), all other goodwill is included in the wash hire operating segment, as defined for the purposes of the sector reporting required by IFRS 8.

It should be noted that the management, in relation to the ESMA Public Statement of 13 May 2022 and in relation to the Consob 3/22 recall of 19 May 2022, carried out a qualitative and quantitative assessment based on the direct and indirect effects connected to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It should also be noted that the Group has identified only indirect effects that impact the operating activities of its business and, primarily, increases in energy and raw material prices. The analyses conducted concluded that the effects considered will presumably have a significant impact in the short term mainly focused on the wash-hire business and in particular in the Turkey area, where losses are also expected at an operational level. However, they are not expected to have significant and lasting repercussions on the prospective results of the Group, both in relation to the possibility of recovery through the inflation indexation of its contracts, and to actions planned and aimed, inter alia, at obtaining appropriate compensation. Therefore, no elements that can be classified as impairmentloss indicators have been identified. Nevertheless, a verification and sensitivity exercise were carried out, also based on the new assessments mentioned above, in relation to the results of the impairment test carried out in the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2021, which confirmed the conclusions already reached, which indicated the complete recoverability of the values of assets in the balance sheet, also taking into account expected increases in discount rates.

There was also a positive effect equal to Euro 4,184 thousand on the translation reserves in the equity of the companies that prepare their financial statements in foreign currency, mainly as a result of the devaluation of the Brazilian Real and of the Turkish Lira, as well as due to the effect of high inflation in Turkey following the adoption of the IAS 29 standard for Euro 2,739 thousand.

Although the Consolidated Shareholders' Equity of the Servizi Italia Group is higher than the market capitalization of the share as at 30 June 2022, it should be noted that the same is considered recoverable in consideration of the results of the impairment tests carried out at 31 December 2021, confirmed by the qualitative and sensitivity analyses formulated by management.

The item "Other income" went from Euro 5,035 thousand at 30 June 2021 to Euro 2,868 thousand at 30 June 2022, recording a decrease of Euro 2,167 thousand. The decrease is mainly attributable to the capital gain relating to the sale of the workwear branch equal to Euro 1,528 thousand as well as to premiums on certain strategic supplies underlying the start of the orders in the north-east of Italy for Euro 1,182 thousand recorded in the first six months of the year 2021.

7.3 Raw materials and consumables

As of 30 June 2022, the consumption of raw materials amounted to Euro 14,731 thousand, an increase of Euro 1,158 thousand compared to the previous period, mainly as a result of the higher costs incurred for consumables and fuels, which were negatively affected by the persistently increasing price dynamics. Consumption mainly refers to the purchase of washing products, chemicals, packaging, spare parts, as well as disposables and PPE products.

7.4 Costs for services

The item is broken down as follows:

(thousands of Euros) Half-Year ended as at 30 June
2022 2021

Maintenance 4,505 3,946
Use of third-party assets 1,371 1,387
Other services 566 513
Total 46,777 40,045

"Costs for services" recorded an increase of 16.6% compared to the same period of the previous year equal to Euro 6,732 thousand, going from Euro 40,045 thousand in the first half of 2021 to Euro 46,777 thousand in the first half of 2022. The increase is also seen in terms of incidence on revenues, which went from 32.0% in the first six months of 2021 to 34.9% in the first six months of 2022, mainly due to the significant increases in energy tariffs recorded starting from last quarter of 2021. The increase in energy costs, although significant, appears to be partly contained thanks primarily to the actions to hedge the prices of energy put in place with sector operators in the Italy area.

The item "External laundering and other industrial services" recorded an increase of Euro 778 thousand, mainly deriving from the changed logistical and production structure aimed at managing the laundry and cloakroom services connected to the launch of new tenders.

"Travel and transport" costs show an increase of Euro 855 thousand compared to 30 June 2021, mainly generated by the Parent Company, and specifically to the higher costs in logistics in the hotel sector which in the first half of 2021 was substantially irrelevant due to Covid, and to new tenders launched in the north-east of Italy (started in 2021, now fully operational).

The costs relating to "Utilities" show an increase equal to Euro 4,201 thousand compared to the same period of the previous financial year or a growth of 2.8% in terms of incidence on revenues, due to the

continuous significant rise in prices that began at the end 2021, further worsened following the destabilizing macroeconomic and geopolitical context in place.

The item "Personnel expense" went from Euro 42,417 thousand as at 30 June 2021 to Euro 45,257 thousand as at 30 June 2022, recording an increase of Euro 2,839 thousand. The increase is attributable both to an increase in costs relating to the item "Salaries and wages", due to the increase in the volume treated and the consequent increase in the number of Group employees, and to an increase relating to the item "Temporary work", mainly attributable to the hotel sector and the entry into operation of tenders in north-east Italy started in the previous year.
