Milan, 4 August 2023 – The Board of Directors of Openjobmetis S.p.A. (Borsa Italiana: OJM), one of the leading Employment Agencies, listed on Euronext Milan - STAR segment - operated by Borsa Italiana, approved the Interim Financial Report as at 30 June 2023.
The Chief Executive Officer Rosario Rasizza commented: "The Group's focus continues to be improvement of the first contribution margin, which has moved a further step forward from 12.8% in the first quarter to 13.1% in the second quarter, for a total half-yearly figure of 12.9%.
The subsidiary Family Care continues to grow, with +17% in volumes compared to the same period of last year. Seltis Hub, specialised in recruitment and selection, also brought satisfaction reporting revenues of around +9% compared to 30 June 2022, a symptom of a changing labour market.
Among the main events characterising the last quarter, I would like to mention the upgrade to the ESG rating (provided by Sustainalytics) from 10.4 to 9.6, which has advanced us from "low" risk to "negligible" risk.
In addition, a partial voluntary takeover bid was launched in June which, on the one hand, will offer shareholders the opportunity to monetise their investment and, on the other, will result in increased earnings per share for non-participants. The transaction will also provide the Company with a portfolio of treasury shares to assess new growth opportunities."

The Labour Decree, converted into law on 3 July 2023, marks the opening of a new regulatory scenario aimed at adapting to the changes and needs of an increasingly dynamic labour market.
Undersecretary Claudio Durigon commented in this regard: "This labour decree is not a comprehensive measure, but we have regulated certain aspects that were set up incorrectly, such as citizens' income. [...] We have positioned Employment Agencies at the heart again; these operate differently from job centres, and have covered many needs that have been lacking over the years. The outplacement numbers of the agencies are ten times higher than those of the job centres. We have made fixed-term employment more flexible."
The Openjobmetis Group is preparing to proactively adopt the key role entrusted to Employment Agencies for the outplacement of employable individuals in households receiving the Inclusion Allowance.
In addition, the results achieved in the first half of the year confirm a growth trend in percentage terms of the contribution margin, from 12.7% as at 30 June 2022 to 12.9% as at 30 June 2023. In the second part of the year, the Company will continue to focus on monitoring profit margins from contract work and on providing high value-added services.
