Relatech S.p.A., Digital Enabler Solution Know-how (DESK) Company listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market (Ticker: RLT), announces that, today, the Company's Board of Directors examined and approved the Group's consolidated financial data as of 30 June 2023, subject to limited audit.
Pasquale Lambardi, Chairman of Relatech's Board of Directors, said: "We are extremely satisfied with the growth recorded this semester, the result of an increasingly integrated offer, which consolidates our position as an end-to-end partner accompanying Italian and international companies towards digitisation. Our sector is more than ever characterised by strong and continuous innovative drives, which open up new business opportunities on a daily basis, which we are ready to welcome. Among the frontier technologies, artificial intelligence has certainly taken the upper hand, and its widespread use is permeating several sectors, moving more and more towards Generative AI. In this respect, we have already developed innovative solutions in several areas, including the industrial sector for the predictive analysis of data on production plants to prevent downtimes and the retail sector in general for the
2 Adjustment of approximately EUR 0.9 million for non-cash extraordinary costs related to stock grant plans and other extraordinary costs

analysis of consumer purchasing behaviour. We are aware that AI can be the key to digital transformation, and this is why we will continue to develop and consolidate skills and solutions in this area, but not only, because we are even more convinced that to be technological pioneers we must not only meet the needs of today's customers but also, and above all, those of the companies of the near future."
Value of Production as of 30 June 2023 amounted to about Euro 51.1 million, up 73% from about Euro 29.5 million as of 30 June 2022.
The volume of business is growing thanks to an ever broader offer, the result of an effective integration of new services and solutions in different areas, from cybersecurity to IOT, from project portfolio management and performance management to the presence in the industrial and retail market; this is thanks to the synergies and specificities of the companies within the Group's perimeter, which today allow Relatech to seize opportunities by anticipating trends and thus to propose itself even more strongly as an end-to-end partner for digital transformation.
Revenues from Sales amounted to about Euro 47.9 million, an increase of 89% compared to about Euro 25.4 million in the same period of the previous year.
The share of recurring revenues amounted to Euro 18.2 million, up 112% compared to Euro 8.6 million as at 30 June 2022, and accounted for 38% of Revenues from Sales.
The share of revenues from foreign customers amounted to 27% of total revenues, up 58% compared to the same period in 2022.
Other Revenues as of 30 June 2023 (EUR 1.4 million vs. EUR 1.2 million in 1H2022) consist mainly of public grants related to research projects conducted with universities and research centres in the Relatech ecosystem.
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to approximately Euro 8.0 million, up 44% compared to Euro 5.6 million as of 30 June 2022.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to approximately Euro 5.4 million, up 45% compared to 30 June 2022.
Adjusted Net Profit amounted to approximately Euro 3.8 million, up 120% compared to the same period in 2022, while the reported Net Profit stood at Euro 2.9 million.
The Net Financial Position as of 30 June 2023 amounted to Euro 14.8 million, compared to a Net Financial Position as of 31 December 2022 of Euro 9.5 million.
It should be noted that the NFP, in accordance with the application of IFRS 9, includes adjustments induced by the valuation of contingent liabilities for the purchase of the remaining minority interests and earn-out plans related to corporate acquisitions.
Extraordinary cash outflows occurred in the first half of 2023:
Lastly, we note the use of about Euro 5.8 million attributable to commitments undertaken in connection with acquisition transactions implemented by the Group in 2022.
The first half of 2023 was characterized by several significant events that deserve to be mentioned in order to provide correct information and a better understanding of the balance sheet and profit and loss account data presented below.
On 26 January 2023, it was announced that Relatech, as a technology partner, collaborated with IULM in the creation of the AI Lab, a structure aimed at spreading the culture of innovation related to Artificial Intelligence.
On 27 January 2023, the period for exercising the right of withdrawal related to the approval of the amendments to the Bylaws concerning the introduction of the increased vote by the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, ended.
using the Company's available reserves for this purpose. The Company repurchased a total of 394,340 shares at a liquidation value of €2.19 each for a total value of €863,604.60.
from foreign customers stood at 43% of the Group's backlog and amounted to approximately euro 12.5 million.
Significant events occurring after the close of the financial year on 30 June 2023 include:
Advisor with BPER Banca S.p.A, which remained in office until and including 6 August 2023, and the conferment of the new appointment of Euronext Growth Advisor to Illimity Bank S.p.A, which took over from 7 August 2023 inclusive.
Pursuant to and for the purposes of point 6) of the third paragraph of Article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, the macroeconomic context, which includes Italy, is still subject to the high level of uncertainty associated with the war in Ukraine and the more restrictive monetary and credit policies for businesses and households.
In Italy, GDP, after the strong recovery in the first quarter of 2023 (0.6 per cent), would expand moderately in the remainder of the three-year forecast period, held back by the effects of worsening financing conditions. On average over the year, output would increase by 1.3 per cent in 2023, 1.0 per cent in 2024 and 1.1 per cent in 2025, then up in 2023, due to a betterthan-expected performance in the first quarter, and down in 2024-25, mainly due to a stronger deterioration in financing conditions. On the other hand, the impulse from the public component would increase, thanks to the interventions of the NRP. In this direction, with reference to the 2022-2025 outlook of the market specifically referring to Digital Enablers, it is foreseeable that they will continue to be an extraordinary driving force for the development of the Italian digital market, thanks to the many digital transformation initiatives that, despite the period of uncertainty, will continue to be born in companies.
In this context, the Relatech Group is well positioned to seize the opportunities offered by the evolving market in terms of services and solutions related to digital transformation.

* For a better understanding of the table, amounts indicated with a negative sign (i.e. amounts in round brackets) refer to financial assets (e.g. cash and cash equivalents, receivables), while amounts with a positive sign refer to financial liabilities (e.g. financial payables, other payables, etc.). Thus, a negative balance of net financial debt indicates that financial assets are greater than the relative liabilities, showing a positive surplus of cash and cash equivalents; conversely, a positive balance shows that total financial debt is greater than the relative financial assets/cash equivalents.
