Closing remarks

We are building capacity to cope with future demand, preserving operational flexibility to adjust, if required

Commercial and marketing initiatives should improve customer intake, especially in E&P and business services

Profitability measures, namely in operations and central structure, have been intensified and will deliver results as from 2H22

EBIT generation improved throughout 1Q22 (81% of recurring EBIT in 1Q22 generated in March)

Previously identified risks remain active and 2Q22 will still be penalized by macroeconomic factors when compared with March22 run-rate

Notwithstanding a difficult environment, increasing execution risk, we remain committed to achieving FV22 EBIT within €65-75m
