Fixed capital at March 31, 2022 amounted to Euro 484,275 thousand, a decrease of Euro 1,516 thousand on December 31, 2021. The movement relates to amortisation and depreciation in the period of Euro 4,423 thousand, exceeding investments of Euro 3,063 thousand.

Net operating working capital at March 31, 2022 decreased Euro 2,163 thousand on December 31, 2021, due to the increase in trade payables related to the seasonality of goods and service purchases.

Other assets and liabilities decreased Euro 454 thousand, mainly due to the assessment of income taxes for the period.

The net working capital therefore reports a net decrease of Euro 2,617 thousand due to the net operating working capital changes and the changes of other assets and liabilities outlined previously.

Provisions reduced compared to December 31, 2021 by Euro 245 thousand, due to: (i) the decrease in the Postemployment benefit provision for Euro 813 thousand (ii) the increase in the provisions for risks for Euro 568 thousand. In greater detail, the increase in the risks provisions is due to the following combined effects: (i) net accruals (excess of provisions over releases) of Euro 995 thousand, mainly due for Euro 467 thousand to healthcare risks and for Euro 514 thousand to local health authority risks (ii) utilisations for Euro 427 thousand, mainly concerning healthcare cases (Euro 367 thousand).

Net Capital Employed at March 31, 2022, amounted to Euro 399,114 thousand, a decrease of Euro 3,979 thousand on Euro 403,093 thousand at December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 the Net Financial Position (NFP) of the Garofalo Health Care Group was Euro 134,241 thousand decreasing Euro 8,138 thousand on December 31, 2021 thanks to the operating cash flow generated net of investments, financial charges and income taxes paid in the period.

The Group shareholders' equity at March 31, 2022 of Euro 264,609 thousand increased Euro 4,156 thousand on December 31, 2021 due to the profit for the period of Euro 5,050 thousand, the increase in the actuarial reserve on the post-employment benefits for Euro 465 thousand, net of the purchase of treasury shares of Euro 1,359 thousand.

5.2. Net Financial Position

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

A breakdown of the composition for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is provided below.

M Total financial debt (H + L) 134,241 142,378 (8,138)

The main changes in the items comprising the Net Financial Position are described below.

Liquidity increased Euro 2,424 thousand, thanks to operating cash flow generated, net of that used to reduce the current financial debt and capex in the period.

Total current financial debt of Euro 41,006 thousand decreased Euro 4,656 thousand, mainly due to the lesser use of short-term credit lines, such as advances on invoices and current account overdrafts. Current financial debt of Euro 18,702 thousand at March 31, 2022 includes liabilities for lease contracts of Euro 4,924 thousand (Euro 4,840 thousand at December 31, 2021).

Non-current financial debt of Euro 137,073 thousand includes payables for lease contracts of Euro 20,418 thousand (Euro 21,557 thousand at December 31, 2021); the decrease of Euro 1,057 thousand is mainly due to the reclassification of the payable for lease contracts due within one year.

7. COVID-19 OVERVIEW

The contents of the disclosure below take due account of the indications provided by Consob in the attention call No. 1 of February 16, 2021, concerning "COVID 19 - attention call on financial reporting" as well as the recommendations provided by ESMA in the public statement "Implications of the COVID-19 outbreak on the half-yearly financial Reports" of May 20, 2020.

During the quarter, and particularly in January and February, the GHC Group clinics continued to support the public system, while at the same time not compromising operating activities. The GHC Group consolidated results for Q1 2022 in fact report, also at like-for-like consolidation scope, improved production on the same period of the previous year.

The following table presents the main activities in support of the public system:

Region Clinic Main activities carried out to support the public system
Hesperia Hospital
Local health authority weekly operating room sessions made
available to the Policlinico and Modena for oncological
senology procedures and for orthopaedic procedures.
Emilia-Romagna Ospedali Privati Riuniti
Ward made available for COVID patients in addition to
operating room sessions to allow the Istituto Ortopedico
Rizzoli to carry out orthopaedic surgery at its clinic in Villa
Regina.
Tuscany Rugani Hospital
Opened wards dedicated to COVID patients emerging from
the acute phase but still testing positive for the virus (10
beds)

With reference to the Q1 2022 income statement, COVID-19 resulted at consolidated level in one-off costs ("additional COVID costs") for Personnel Protective Equipment ("PPE"), swabs / tests, the preparation and management of triage areas and the dedicated distancing pathways, only in part reimbursed by the local health authorities.

As regards the Balance Sheet, COVID-19 resulted at consolidated level in the recognition to GHC hospital clinics as a result of the COVID-19 emergency by the main Regions in which the Group operates of advances paid in 2020 and 2021. At March 31, 2022, these advances amounted to Euro 10.5 million.

8. MANAGEMENT AND CO-ORDINATION

Garofalo Health Care S.p.A is not subject to direction and co-ordination by another entity. Garofalo Health Care S.p.A is responsible for direction and co-ordination of all its subsidiaries.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There were no subsequent events to the quarter.

10. OUTLOOK

For the year 2022 the Group is confident of continued growth with Revenues and Op. EBITDA Adjusted expected to beat 2021, also at like-for-like consolidation scope. This outlook considers the growing importance of healthcare nationally, increasingly seen as an essential primary good, which plays an ever more important role in the accredited private sector, as part of the health and dependency care provision of the individual Regions, against a backdrop of growing care needs.

It should be noted that these growth forecasts already include estimates for the higher energy-related costs, which it is assumed can be absorbed by budget increases (e.g. for the recovery of waiting lists), also in view of their insignificant weight at Group level, taking into account that the GHC clinics are not considered "energy-consuming" companies.

The conflict in Ukraine, however, is generating unexpected geopolitical instability which could entail, especially if protracted, indirect risks linked to a further increase in energy prices and, consequently, in the supply prices of certain consumables. These indirect risks are not currently significant, but the Group will continue to monitor developments over the coming months.

Finally, in line with the Buy & Build strategy undertaken since the IPO, the Group confirms its strategic focus on M&A driven growth, through acquisitions of excellent clinics with non-dilutive performances, also going forward.
