In the first six months of 2022, the process of integrating and grounding synergies from the acquisition of the Quanta Group was completed, resulting in an improved ebitda margin of 4.2%.
Furthermore, the positive performance of the subsidiaries Family Care - Employment agency with a revenue growth of +18.9% over 1H 2021 and Seltis Hub, which specialises in recruitment and selection, with an increase of +50.5% over the same period of 2021 is confirmed.

No significant events occurred after 30 June 2022.
While the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have gradually subsided, a new context of instability has emerged due to the impacts of the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The uncertain macroeconomic scenario did not produce any obvious negative impact on the results achieved by Openjobmetis Group in the period. In fact, the Group closed the first six months of 2022 positively, boasting growth in volumes compared to the same period in 2021. At this time, the medium/long-term consequences of the conflict cannot yet be predicted.
Despite critical issues related to the supply of raw materials, rising prices of energy sources, inflation, financial market volatility and rising interest rates, Italy's GDP is expected to grow by +2.8% in 2022, according to ISTAT's June publication regarding "the outlook for the Italian economy in 2022-2023".
Therefore, in light of the above observations, it should be noted that progress will continue to be in line with expectations for the remaining months of 2022.
****
