SUMMARY OF THE OPERATIONS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2017

A summary of the main consolidated economic, capital and financial data of the Group is reported below, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS), and, in particular, with standard IAS 34, as emerging from the situation as at 31 March 2017, compared with the same period of the previous year.

Exprivia Group (value in $K \in \Sigma$ ) 31.03.2017 31.03.2016 Variazioni %
Revenues 36,781 32,543 13.02%
Net revenues 35,890 31,609 13.54%
EBITDA 3,033 1,725 75.83%
EBIT 1,872 664 181.93%
Pre-tax result 1,551 38 3981.58%
Result 932 $-274$ 440.15%

In the first quarter of 2017, consolidated revenues amounted to Euro 36.8 million with a 13.02% increase compared to the revenues in the same period of the previous financial year (Euro 32.5 million). The growth was mainly seen in the Utilities market, as a result of previously awarded tender contracts having become fully operational and the acquisition of ACS which was concluded in the second half of 2016. Foreign markets, however, were down slightly in terms of volumes—a drop anticipated by the budget and resulting from a reorganisation of the offering—, as were the Healthcare sector and Telco & Media.

Consolidated net revenues amounted to Euro 35.9 million in the first quarter of 2017, with a 13.54% increase compared to the same period in the previous financial year (Euro 31.6 million). As regards net revenues, the same applies as for total revenues; the greater growth with respect to total revenues derives from the lower fees recorded in the first quarter of this year on funded innovative projects.

Consolidated EBITDA amounted to Euro 3 million in the first quarter of 2017, with a 75.83% increase compared to the same period in the previous financial year (Euro 1.7 million in 2016). A particularly significant increase in profitability was seen in this quarter, not only in Italy but also abroad.

Consolidated EBIT amounted to Euro 1.9 million in the first quarter of 2017, with a 181.93% increase compared to the same period in the previous financial year (Euro 0.7 million in 2016). Pre-tax result in the first quarter of 2017 amounted to Euro 1.6 million, compared to Euro 38 million in the first quarter of 2016.

The Net Financial Position as at 31 March 2017 was Euro -42 million compared to Euro -35.8 million as at 31 December 2016. Group Shareholders' Equity as at 31 March 2017 was Euro 75.6 million, compared to Euro 74.7 million as at 31 December 2016.

Safety on flights, land and sea transport, control of operations areas, vehicles, and digitized environments: all this has become fundamentally important in today's world. Its long experience in military and civil environments enables Exprivia to build defence systems and above all prevention systems in which Information Technology is the best tool for protecting humans and vehicles, whether military or civilian.

There is an even more urgent need for preventive action such as monitoring and controlling scenarios: no longer a posteriori but continuous control of vehicles, operating environments and routes, to take action before a crisis can occur.

An essential condition for IT support for strategic decisions in critical situations is situational awareness, the correct perception of what happens in the operating scenarios in real time. Exprivia has again been a protagonist of the digital transformation, which now offers a real advantage to the sector, making it possible to analyse the complexity of heterogeneous information (images, videos, data, texts, symbols, voices and sounds) coming from a large number of sensors, worn, fixed and mobile, during flight, navigation, in orbit and on vehicles or drones.

In particular, Exprivia develops systems for command and control, supervision, presentation of maps, processing of geographical maps and rapid prototyping of air, land and sea transport consoles that ensure

maximum interaction with scenarios increasingly close to reality, also through augmented reality techniques, the richness of georeferenced information and social collaboration.

Space as driver of innovation

The acquisition of ACS in July 2016 opens new markets with a high technological value and strengthens the Group's innovation impetus even further.

ACS' offer focuses on the following areas:

  • Ground Segment for the real-time acquisition and processing of data for Earth Observation
  • Remote sensing applications for monitoring of the land, study of climate change and handling of environmental emergencies
  • Maritime traffic monitoring systems
  • Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications, usable on fixed and mobile devices.
  • Analysis of digital images in the space domain and technological transfer to new sectors (biomedical, non-destructive testing, video-surveillance)

Manufacturing & Distribution

Exprivia rationalizes and reaches excellent levels of performance in the company processes of its customers, by modifying the entire value chain: from analysis to consulting, implementation, the Application and System Management services, also using proprietary, vertical solutions. The strategic relationship between the processes (increasingly simplified, quick and interlinked) and the in-depth knowledge of specific business features enables Exprivia to offer a tool for increasing the company's prospects of success.

Smart Manufacturing, digital innovation in industrial processes.

The recent research projects foreshadow a radical change in business scenarios: the fourth industrial revolution is in progress and will soon bring fully controlled, interconnected and automated production processes through the evolution of technology.

The expression "Industry 4.0", used for the first time at the Hanover Fair in 2011, defines this change in a panorama that is still evolving but already has precise development guidelines.

The four pillars of this transformation constitute the core of Exprivia's know-how and skills:

  • use of data and connectivity (big data, open data, Internet of Things, machine-to-machine and cloud computing);
  • analytics and machine learning;
  • man/machine interaction (touch interfaces and augmented reality);
  • digital/real interaction (additive manufacturing, robotic control, machine-to-machine interactions, storage of energy from various sources).

The impact of this transformation will be colossal, like that of the previous industrial revolutions brought over the centuries by steam, electricity, oil and computers and will only be quantifiable in the future. In the meantime, however, the clouding technologies are already influencing the work dynamics, which are evolving extremely rapidly. Every business must therefore introduce digital innovation in its industrial processes to gain the benefits of Smart Manufacturing.

Exprivia has taken this extraordinary opportunity by strengthening the entire industrial process with its digital solutions and automating the management of huge quantities of information in a simple, rational

and efficient way, thus converting it into a strong presence on the market. This is the natural evolution of the vertical offer that Exprivia develops on the various industrial markets.

The Regions with the most efficient health service are those that spend the most but also spend the best, that is, without causing overruns of the regional budgets.

The Exprivia systems connect the entire Regional Healthcare system, from the administrative and management centres to the public and private hospital facilities along the entire supply chain, to the individual professionals and on-line services for users, so as to get the most from every resource.

This is done using the e4Cure suite, expressly designed for the healthcare environment, which coordinates the two main branches of the health system:

  • Local healthcare providers
  • Regional authorities and agencies

creating interface flows that ensure total, structured control.

Quality and risk monitoring

In addition to its ISO 9001 quality certification, Exprivia has set up an ISO 13485 Medical Device quality system for monitoring clinical risks.

Public Sector

Cybersecurity, digital identity, digital documents and electronic payments: the Digital Agenda for Italy designs the economy 4.0, increasingly based on Big Data and the IoT.

Intangible infrastructure and digital citizenship

You can call it e-government, e-gov or digital administration: for us, it is just called innovation, simplicity and reliability for the protection of businesses, residents, public employees and the government.

Bureaucratic streamlining through the digitalised management of the PA - along with organisational renewal activities - now allows for the reconciliation of spending optimisation with service quality, as it provides users with multiple rapid and effective communication channels that connect residents with public institutions and provide the latter with a series of worry-free and completely secure tools for completing administrative procedures.

From this perspective, Exprivia has been able to rely on much of its experience in optimising processes for large private enterprises, which it has reconceptualised based on the needs of central and local governments and broken down into a range of areas, including:

  • products and services for management (financial statements and accounting, human resources, management control, demographic services, document management, social services, etc.);
  • eGovernment for relations with the public, businesses and institutions;
  • eProcurement for purchase processes and to monitor suppliers;
  • storage and sharing of electronic documents;
  • planning and control through business intelligence platforms and business analytics;
  • performance measurement in PA processes;
  • solutions to support administrative processes concerning self-governance and cooperation between administrations (SOA paradigm);
  • exchanging information between entities, citizens and businesses through a single point of access;
  • system integration for operational continuity 24/7 and automatic system repairs.

SKILLS

Working for the world to come requires not only a lively imagination, but also and especially solid training that keeps us continuously updated on trends and transformations under way to anticipate the needs of the market.

The Group has a team of highly-skilled experts specialised in several different technological areas:

  • Capital Market
  • Credit & Risk Management
  • IT Governance & Infrastructure
  • Big Data & Analytics
  • BPO
  • Cloud
  • IoT
  • IT Security
  • Mobile
  • SAP Suite

Banking & Finance

The Banks, Finance and Insurance Business Unit closed the first quarter of 2017 with an increase of 3.2% compared with the 2016 results (Euro 5.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to Euro 5.6 million in the first quarter of 2016), despite the uncertain trend typical of the first quarter in this sector for several years now, confirming a trend that results in new investments being postponed until at least the end of the second quarter.

This also explains the way in which the various components of the BU contributed, to varying extents, to the quarter's results: the positive impacts arise either from projects undertaken in the autumn of 2016 or from new projects as a result of regulatory requirements, negative impacts arise either from important contracts concluded in 2016 or from postponements of new launches. Indeed:

  • o In the Finance segment, results increased by more than 17%, benefiting both from a number of projects started in the second half of 2016 and from important developments in 2017 strongly characterised by our customers' need for regulatory compliance.
  • o In the Credit & Risk Management segment results grew by 16%, particularly for the services component, benefiting both from the acquisition of contracts at the end of 2016, and from the involvement, in 2017, in the wide-ranging programmes in the field of Risk Management being launched by our main customers.
  • o In the Factoring segment, results decreased by more than 8% as a result both of the conclusion, in the first half of 2016, of a historic partnership with a customer that accounted for nearly 9% of the segment's revenues, and the renewals of agreements with other important customers which, having been confirmed for the next three years, have resulted in an average reduction in fees of more than 15%. The excellent performances recorded for other customers and the trading operation of customers started in 2016 counterbalance these negative impacts.
  • o The contribution of Digital Transformation, Big Data Analytics, Compliance, Security, GRC and Infrastructure fell by almost 5%, due to both delays in the delivery of some Customer Experience projects, which impeded the subsequent developments envisaged in this quarter, and to postponements in the assignment of some important orders in security and infrastructure. Of particular note is a major order, relating to the development of a custom solution, requested by a leading banking group, for obligations relating to IFRS9 legislation. This contract will be carried out with the involvement of the Finance Department of the BU.

In conclusion a positive quarter which, despite not all the opportunities in the pipeline having materialised, benefited from the Business Development effort initiated last year and further paved the way to confirming the growth hypotheses projected in 2017.

Utilities

In the first quarter of 2017, the Utilities Business Unit recorded revenues of Euro 7.4 million compared to Euro 4.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase compared with the previous period of 2016 (+64.3%) is due to the contracts already commenced during 2016 that became fully operational in the first quarter of 2017.

The Utilities Business Unit is continuously active in pursuing the operational efficiency and digital transformation goals of its customers by participating in innovative projects with an international scope.

In the last quarter of 2016, Exprivia was awarded various contracts in the "water" sector (Euro 0.4 million), the "Waste Management" sector (EUR 1 million) and the "Energy" sector (Euro 0.4 million), the effects of which will begin to be seen from the second quarter of 2017.

In the first quarter of 2017, a new contract for approximately Euro 5 million was acquired in the field of Energy and two new contracts in the field of "Waste Management" (Euro 0.9 million Euro) and "Logistics PI" (EUR 5 million) are in the acquisition stage.

Industry

In the first quarter of 2017, the Industry Business Unit closed with revenues of Euro 3 million compared to Euro 3.2 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Industry results in the first quarter of 2017 were largely stable compared to the first quarter of 2016; the growth trend seen last year was consolidated, particularly with regard to professional services, with supply rather than demand dynamics now acting as the biggest brake on growth.

The customer base was provided with design services, application management services and in-cloud services, as part of mature offers such as those relating to ERP, HCM and extended ERP processes, rather than relating to highly innovative issues, like CRM solutions applied to after sales processes.

Good results were obtained in international rollouts in Europe and the Far East for customers with head offices in Italy.

The launch last year by the software vendor Sap of innovative solutions based on the Hana platform is gaining the confidence of the market, and investments made in this respect are positioning us as one of the leaders on the Italian market. Again in terms of the offer, positive results were achieved in the development of web solutions and portals, bringing the efforts capitalised on in our Research and Development laboratories to the market.

Oil & Gas

For the Oil & Gas Business Unit, the first quarter of 2017 saw a marked leap forward in revenues, which grew compared with both the corresponding period of 2016 (+ 15.8%) and the previous quarter (+ 6%), consolidating the trend that began at the end of 2016. This result is attributable to the entry into full operation of the contracts acquired in the third quarter of 2016 and the start-up of important digital transformation initiatives for some operators in the energy market in Italy. In particular, the share of revenues from Gas and Oil logistics optimisation projects increased. Corporate projects in the area of Administration, Finance and Control and projects for the improvement of processes in the area of Procurement and HCM also provided a strong boost to revenue growth. Revenues in the area of Portals and Web Applications also grew; the BU was in fact involved in some important initiatives to improve the Digital Customer Experience of Light and Gas users and, more generally, supported its customers in the development of their digital communication strategies. During the quarter the BU continued to develop its transversal offer in the area of Business Process Management & Integration and Analytics, acquiring important projects and thus further consolidating its competitive positioning.

The growth in revenues was made possible both through a plan to hire new resources — Analysts and Web Developers — and through a plan for the empowerment of the skills of staff of the BU that had already been started during the last quarter of 2016 and that has allowed the BU to acquire numerous technical certifications.

Telco & Media

The Telco & Media Business Unit closed the first quarter of 2017 with revenues of Euro 4.9 million, substantially in line with the figures for the first quarter of 2016 (Euro 5 million).

During the first quarter of 2017, the Telco & Media business unit continued to consolidate business relationships with the main players in the field of telecommunications in Italy, acquiring major contracts linked to the activation of new broadband access networks, to the automation and streamlining of the business processes of its customers, to vertical data analytics solutions for the monitoring of quality KPIs and for the predictive maintenance of fixed and mobile network services, and the implementation of innovative solutions for telecommunications security and privacy.

Healthcare

In the first quarter of 2017, the Healthcare Business Unit recorded revenues of Euro 5.2 million compared to Euro 5.5 million in the first quarter of 2016, down 5.6% compared to the results for the same period of the previous year.

Compared to the same period of 2016, the PAL area recorded growth of 1% in the first quarter of 2017, while the health area saw revenues reduce by approximately 7%, due mainly to the termination or reworking of some services for the public sector for which the launch of the contracts acquired in the second half of 2016 has not yet taken place due to procedural delays and administrative matters.

Public Sector

The Public Sector Business Unit closed the first quarter of 2017 with revenues of approximately Euro 1.7 million, down slightly compared to the same period of the previous year.

During the first quarter, the Central Public Administration began activities relating to a large Digital Transformation project involving the HR systems managed by the MEF, following a tender awarded in 2016.

In this first quarter, new important contracts were awarded to Exprivia both in Central Public Administration and in Local Public Administration, which will have an impact on revenues in the coming quarters

All this in a context where we are beginning to see the first signs of recovery in ICT investments, necessary in order to implement the Digital Transformation strategy broadly defined by the Government and various government agencies.

Aerospace & Defence

In the first quarter of 2017, the Defence & Aerospace Business Unit achieved revenues of Euro 2.5 million compared to Euro 0.8 million in the same period of the previous year (2016). This change is mainly attributable to the contribution arising from the acquisition of the new equity investment in ACS Srl.

More specifically, despite the confirmed contracting market trend due to a heavy focus on expenditure reduction by the sector's main industries and entities, Exprivia's Defence & Aerospace business launched new orders in air traffic control in the first quarter.

For ACS, in Defence & Aerospace the market confirmed the increased incidence over the quarter of service contracts (maintenance, operations support, specialised consulting) supplied to customers, compared to contracts for the development of SW systems. Of particular note are the contracts for the maintenance of DFEP components under the Copernicus programme, the extension of the maintenance services for the Payload Data Segment (PDS) of the ESA's Cryosat scientific mission, the extension of engineering support services for the operation and maintenance of the SW of the Sentinel-2 system, and engineering support for Cosmo Second Generation (satellite system of the Italian Space Agency).

International Business

Exprivia's activities on non-Italian markets registered a sharp drop in revenues in 2016, from Euro 10.4 million to Euro 7.8 million. The first quarter of 2017, however, was almost in line with the previous year for Mexico and Guatemala, up in Brazil and continuing to drop in Spain. In Spain, where the Exprivia Group was present through two subsidiaries, Profesionales de Sistemas Aplicaciones y Productos SL (ProSap) and Exprivia SL., their merger was completed in 2016 by combining the commercial and technical structures to strengthen the offer of ERP applications and SAP services for industry and distribution of Business Intelligence solutions for the Healthcare sector.

The reorganisation referred to above, the results of which during 2016 were not entirely satisfactory, and are still not being seen in the first quarter of 2016, is beginning nonetheless to show interesting commercial signs. The economic-capital restructuring, on the other hand, resulted in the stabilisation, in the last quarter, of revenue lines through the containment of market risks. The cost structure was rationalised and adapted to potential revenues. The SAP business area largely maintained activities with its customer base. The Business Intelligence area was reduced considerably, essentially owing to the decrease in investments by the biggest customer in the Healthcare sector. Despite decreasing revenues, the Spanish company's first quarter saw a substantial recovery in EBTDA.

In Central America, where the Exprivia Group operates directly through Prosap Mexico and Prosap Centroamerica (Guatemala), sales and delivery actions continued with major private and public companies operating in the infrastructure construction sector in Latin American countries. The Mexican company was also the subject of an economic-capital restructuring. The first quarter showed a slight decrease in revenues and an equally slight decrease in EBTDA.

With a view to stabilising relations in the area and better monitoring country risk, sales and development initiatives were strengthened throughout the area; the branch in Ecuador and the company Prosap Peru, the latter awaiting sales initiatives in the healthcare and telecommunications domains which could inject fresh impetus.

In Brazil, revenues for the company Exprivia do Brasil Serviços de Informatica Ltda increased significantly compared to the previous financial year thanks to the sales initiatives launched during 2016. Profitability also increased significantly and more than proportionally to the increase in revenues. In China, where "Exprivia IT Solutions (Shanghai) Co. Ltd", whose sole shareholder is "Exprivia Asia Ltda" in Hong Kong, has developed its business in providing professional services in IT infrastructure and SAP. The first quarter of 2017 showed a decrease in turnover of 18.8% compared to 2016; efforts to rationalise and achieve greater efficiency have led to a reduction in costs which, despite the decline in revenues, have improved profitability. The customer base is still currently made up of Italian companies and institutions operating in China and European manufacturing industries.

INTER-COMPANY RELATIONS

The organisational structure of the Exprivia Group functionally integrates all staff services of the Group subsidiaries within the consolidation area, thereby optimising the operational structures of each company to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in supporting the business of the Group.

The Administration, Finance and Control Department unites the Group Finance function with the Administration, Finance and Control functions.

The Human Resource Department reports directly to the Chairman of the Exprivia Group, who is the head of the department ad interim.

The Internal Audit, Merger & Acquisition, Corporate Affairs and International Business Departments also report to the Chairman.

The Group companies constantly collaborate with each other for commercial, technological and application development. In particular the following should be pointed out:

  • widespread use of specific corporate marketing and communication competencies within the group including the production of paper, digital and web-based promotional material;
  • centralised management for the supply of specialist technical resources between group companies to manage critical points in turnover and to give all operational units access to highly specialised technical competencies;
  • coordinated participation by Exprivia in public contract tenders with the contribution of all companies according to their specific competencies.

A cash pooling relationship is in place between the Italian Group companies, and all companies adhere to tax consolidation based on a specific regulation.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In compliance with applicable legislative and regulatory provisions, and in particular with:

(i) the "Regulations on transactions with related parties – CONSOB resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010" as amended by resolution no. 17389 of 23 June 2010; (ii) the outcome of the subsequent "consultation" published by CONSOB on 24 September 2010; (iii) the CONSOB notice on guidelines for applying the regulations published on 24 September 2010; (iv) CONSOB notice no. 10094530 of 15 November 2010 with additional clarifications;

On 27 November 2010 the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a "Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties", setting forth provisions concerning transactions with related parties in order to ensure the transparency and substantive and procedural correctness of operations with related parties carried out directly or through companies that are directly and/or indirectly controlled by Exprivia (the "Exprivia Group").

This procedure replaced the one previously in force, which was introduced on 26 March 2007, and is available on the company's website in the section "Corporate > Corporate Governance > Corporate Information".

The transactions with related parties carried out in the first quarter of 2017 fall within the scope of normal business operations and were carried out on an arm's length basis. No atypical or unusual transactions were carried out with related parties.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

2017 started well for our group, as expected at the beginning of the year. The Group is therefore back on the path to growth and increased profitability.

As widely announced in previous quarters, contracts in the BPO services market have moved into the operational phase and the parent company showed a positive performance in the Energy & Utilities and Public Sector markets.

Our group, confident in the trust of its customers, thus continues to grow in digital transformation technologies and solutions, providing HRM and Marketing platforms for Energy & Utilities customers, and Big Data platforms for Finance, and also SAP Mobile and Aerospace.

Abroad the Group recorded a marked recovery in profitability.

All these elements, which confirm the projections in the plans for 2017, lead us to hold a positive outlook for the coming quarters, increasingly characterised by a drive towards digitally transforming companies and public administration.
