Press release pursuant to CONSOB Regulation No. 11971/99

DESPITE THE EXCELLENT PROGRESS TOWARDS HIGH VALUE-ADDED OFFER SEGMENTS, WHICH ACCOUNTED FOR 62% OF EBITDA ADJ. IN THE HALF YEAR, THE ADVERSE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT HAS DEPRESSED THE DEMAND FOR TECHNOLOGY UPDATES, SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING SALES

THE ESPRINET GROUP, THEREFORE, REVIEWS THE 2023 GUIDANCE OF EBITDA ADJ. IN THE RANGE BETWEEN EURO 70 AND 80 MILLION

## H1 2023

Sales from contracts with customers: Euro 1,905.8 million, -13% (H1 22: Euro 2,178.6 million) EBITDA Adj.: Euro 24.9 million, -34% (H1 22: Euro 37.9 million) Net Income Adj.1 : Euro 6.4 million, -65% (H1 22: Euro 18.3 million) Cash Conversion Cycle: 31 days (H1 22: 17 days) ROCE: 8.0% (H1 22: 12.9%) Net Financial Position: negative for Euro 207.2 million (H1 22: negative for Euro 256.9 million)

Vimercate (Monza Brianza), 12 September 2023 – The Board of Directors of ESPRINET, a leading Group in Southern Europe in advisory services, sale and rental of technological products and cybersecurity, which met under the chairmanship of Maurizio Rota, today approved the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report as at 30 June 2023, drafted in compliance with the international accounting standards (IFRS).

Alessandro Cattani, Chief Executive Officer of ESPRINET: "The first half of the 2023 financial year represented an important confirmation of our strategy of transition towards a greater weight of value-added solutions and services. Furthermore, the process of rationalizing the lines with lower profit margins continued, also with the reduction of product/customer combinations that we believe cannot be structurally capable of generating adequate returns on invested capital. We are satisfied with how Solutions and Services have come to account for over 60% of the EBITDA Adj. and how the product margin has grown further: two aspects that confirm the correct execution of this strategy. Actions to bring working capital back to natural levels continued with the relevant reduction of the NFP. Unfortunately, we are contending with a contracting market and the associated loss of volumes has not been fully offset by the increase in product margins and cost-cutting activities, also subject to inflationary pressures. Given the market consensus which forecasts a significant recovery in demand in 2024, together with confidence in the ongoing commercial repositioning process, we are confident that, in the medium-term, we will be able to resume the growth process that has already seen the Group almost double its operating profitability in the last five years".

1 Calculated net of the non-recurring cost of Euro 33.3 million (of which Euro 26.4 million in taxes and penalties and Euro 6.9 million in interests) incurred by the parent company Esprinet S.p.A. in relation to the blanket agreement reached with the Italian Tax Authorities aimed at the out-of-court settlement of the disputes formulated regarding VAT for the tax periods 2013-2017.

MAIN CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AS AT 30 JUNE 2023

Sales from contracts with customers stood at Euro 1,905.8 million in the first half of 2023, a decrease of -13% compared to Euro 2,178.6 million in the same period of the previous year.

Sales from contracts with customers

ESPRINET recorded sales in Italy of Euro 1,177.8 million (-9%) in a distribution market that, according to Context data, fell by 3%, in particular due to the negative performance of sales in the consumer area (-7% in the first six months of 2023, of which -11% in the first quarter and -3% in the second quarter). In Spain, the Group recorded sales of Euro 652.4 million, -19% compared to 2022, in a market that improved by 6%, with the quarter just ended at +2%, which therefore saw a slowdown in the positive performance (+8%) recorded in the first three months. Portugal, with sales of Euro 55.8 million and growth of 14%, consolidated its share in a market which reported a decrease of -5% (-2% in the first quarter and -6% in the second quarter).

A glance at the performance of the business lines in which the Group operates shows that, according to the segmentation into "five pillars", in the first six months of the year Screens (PCs, Tablets and Smartphones) reported a decrease of 21%, in a market that shrank by 7% according to Context data. The Devices segment also showed a slowdown in the first half (-9%), almost in line with market trend (-8%).

However, the Group recorded an increase of 12% in the Solutions and Services segments, while, again according to the measurement of the UK research company Context, the market reported an increase of +16%. Following the application of IFRS 15, sales of Solutions and Services rose to Euro 437.1 million compared to Euro 391.2 million in 2022 and, consistently with the Group's strategy of focussing on the high profit-margin business lines, their incidence on total sales rose to 23% (18% in 2022). Solutions are once again confirmed as the business line that generates the most adjusted EBITDA2 in terms of absolute value: with sales equal to approximately 40% of Screens, they more than double the profitability of this category.

In the January-June 2023 period, the Group experienced a 26% reduction in sales in the Own Brands segment.

2 The costs attributed to each pillar include direct sales and marketing costs, and also certain categories of general and administrative expenses directly attributable to each business line (e.g. credit insurance costs, inventory costs); the remaining G&A costs are distributed in proportion to the weight of the business line on total sales. The results are not audited.

Sales from contracts with customers

Lastly, a glance at the customer segments shows that, in the first six months of 2023, the market recorded growth of 5% in the Business Segment (IT Reseller) and a decrease of 9% in the Consumer Segment (Retailer, E-tailer). On the other hand, the Group's sales showed the following trends: -27% in the Consumer Segment (Euro 621.6 million), -7% in the Business Segment (Euro 1,359.2 million). The weight of sales to IT Resellers in the first half of 2023 rose to 69% compared to 63% in 2022 and 59% in 2021, gradually reducing the weight of the channel subject to greater discount pressures.

Gross Profit amounted to Euro 105.4 million, -8% compared to the first half of 2022 (Euro 114.8 million). The effect of the increase in the percentage margin (5.53% in the January-June 2023 period, compared to 5.27% in the same period of the previous year), a result of the greater incidence of high profit-margin product categories that, in line with the Group's strategy, accounted for 46% of sales, up from 41% in the first half of 2022, and did not manage to offset the drop in sales. This increase is more significant if we consider the impact of the finance costs associated with the nonrecourse receivable assignment programmes following the increase in interest rates decided by the European Central Bank.

EBITDA adjusted, calculated gross of non-recurring costs incurred by the parent company Esprinet S.p.A. in relation to the blanket agreement reached with the Italian Tax Authorities aimed at the outof-court settlement of the disputes formulated regarding VAT for the tax periods 2013-2017, came to Euro 24.9 million, -34% compared to Euro 37.9 million in the first six months of 2022.

The incidence on sales, standing at 1.31% compared to 1.74% in the same period of 2022, reflects the increase in the weight of operating costs (from 3.53% in the first half of 2022 to 4.22% in the January-June 2023 period), mainly as a result of inflation and the adjustment of national collective bargaining agreements.

EBIT adjusted stood at Euro 15.4 million (-48% compared to Euro 29.5 million in the first half of 2022) and is calculated gross of non-recurring costs mentioned above.

The incidence on sales fell to 0.81% from 1.35% in the same period of the previous year.

EBIT amounted to Euro -10.9 million (<100% compared to the first half of 2022). The incidence on sales fell to -0.57% from 1.33% in the same period of the previous year.

Profit before income taxes adjusted amounted to Euro 9.2 million, compared to Euro 25.2 million in the January-June 2022 period. This result was affected by finance costs relating to the increase in interest rates decided by the European Central Bank and to the higher level of debt in turn mainly connected to the higher level of Net Working Capital.

Net income adjusted amounted to Euro 6.4 million, compared to Euro 18.3 million in the first six months of 2022.

Earnings per ordinary share, which takes into account the overall impact of the costs incurred by Esprinet S.p.A. in relation to the final agreement reached with the Italian Tax Authorities aimed at the out-of-court settlement of the disputes formulated regarding VAT for the tax periods 2013-2017 for a total of Euro 33.3 million, stood at Euro -0.54, compared to Euro 0.36 in the first half of 2022.

CASH CONVERSION CYCLE AT 31 DAYS

The Cash Conversion Cycle3 closed at 31 days (-1 day compared to Q1 23 and +14 days with respect to Q2 22). In particular, the following trends were recorded:

  • Days sales of inventory (DSI): -4 days vs Q1 23 (+2 days vs Q2 22);
  • Days sales outstanding (DSO): +1 day vs Q1 23 (+10 days vs Q2 22),
  • Days payable outstanding (DPO): -2 days vs Q1 23 (-2 days vs Q2 22).

NEGATIVE NET FINANCIAL POSITION FOR EURO 207.2 MILLION (EURO 256.9 MILLION IN H1 22)

The Net Financial Position, amounted to a negative Euro 207.2 million, compared with a negative position of Euro 256.9 million as at 30 June 2022 and a negative position of Euro 341.0 million as at 31 March 2023. The improvement follows the actions to contain the level of net invested working capital with respect to the values accumulated in 2022. Nonetheless, it is always considered that the value of the exact net financial position is influenced by technical factors like the seasonality of the business, the trend in 'non-recourse' assignments of trade receivables (factoring, confirming and securitisation) and the trend in the behavioural models of customers and suppliers in the different periods of the year. Therefore, it is not representative of the average levels of net financial indebtedness noted during the period. The aforementioned factoring and securitisation programmes, which define the complete transfer of risks and benefits to the assignees and therefore involve the derecognition of receivables from the statement of financial position assets in compliance with IFRS 9, determine an overall effect on the level of consolidated net financial payables as at 30 June 2023 of Euro 364.2 million (Euro 382.3 million as at 30 June 2022 and Euro 340.9 million as at 31 March 2023).

THE ROCE STANDS AT 8.0%

The ROCE stands at 8%, compared to 12.9% in the first half of 2022. The main changes related to this trend can be summarised as follows:

  • the "NOPAT Net Operating Profit Less Adjusted Taxes" decreased when compared to 2022;
  • the Average Net Invested Capital, measured before the effects of the introduction of IFRS 16, increased (+50%) due primarily to the increase in the Average Net Working Capital.

OUTLOOK 2023

In a decidedly challenging macroeconomic scenario for households and businesses, which has not improved as quickly as expected, and on the basis of the first signs of weak demand recorded also in

3 Equal to the average number of days of turnover of Operating Net Working Capital of the last 4 quarters, calculated as the sum of trade receivables, inventories and trade payables.

4 Equal to the sum of EBITs – excluding the effects of IFRS 16 – in the last 4 quarters.

5 Operating profit (EBIT Adj.), as defined above, net of taxes calculated at the actual tax rate of the reference annual consolidated financial statements.

6 Equal to the average of "Loans" at the closing date of the period and at the four previous quarterly closing dates (excluding the equity effects of IFRS 16).

7 Equal to the ratio between (a) NOPAT, as defined above, and (b) the average net invested capital as defined above.

the third quarter of 2023, the ICT market is expected to remain under pressure also in the second half year, with better recovery prospects starting from the beginning of next year.

Consistently high inflation, interest rates on loans, as well as the uncertainty of the economic context continue to impact consumer demand.

Furthermore, companies are starting to be more cautious in information technology purchases, deferring expenses that are not strictly necessary in the immediate future and keeping long-term strategic projects active.

The reduction in the growth rate in the Infrastructure segment expected by analysts for the third and fourth quarters is due not only to the slowdown in demand, but also to the challenging comparison with previous year (the second half of 2022 was particularly robust thanks to the fulfilment of orders in the backlog following the previous product shortage situations).

Based on the above considerations, industry analysts predict a flat or even slightly negative trend in sales in the second half of 2023.

Therefore, considering the challenging context and the pressure on sales volumes only partially offset by the constant focus on the progressive improvement of product margins, the Group revises the 2023 guidance of the EBITDA Adj. in the range between Euro 70 and 80 million.

ESPRINET remains confident, as do the industry analysts, in the projections of future and long-term growth of the ICT sector and in the ability of distribution to direct it.

Over the next three years, the digital transformation trend will continue to drive a sharp increase in technology spending, especially in IT services. At the same time, the overall demand for vertical solutions is expected to boom until 2026.
