NHOA Energy commissioned landmark projects such as over 300MWh in Taiwan, 200MWh in Western Australia and 100MWh in mainland China, thus reaching over 800MWh of online capacity with another 1GWh+ under construction.

Free2move eSolutions achieved €65 million Revenues, definitely sealing its growth potential in the second half of 2023 and marking a +58% compared to sales at September 30. Wallbox penetration in Europe reached 13% in the fourth quarter, compared to 3% of the first half. Around 2,300 fastchargers were delivered in the USA to Stellantis dealers' network to support the electrification path.

Atlante closed 2023 with over 3,600 EV charging points of which more than 1,800 already online and serving customers, among them c. 90 on French highways and the iconic station in CityLife – Milan", commented Carlalberto Guglielminotti, CEO of NHOA Group.

Full Year 2023 Key Figures

Revenues and Other Income as of 31 December 2023 amount to €273 million, up 65% compared to FY 2022.

Increase in Revenues and Other Income is mainly driven by the €205 million realized by NHOA Energy with projects in Taiwan and Australia, including the 311MWh HePing Big Battery and the 400MWh+ Blyth project representing the main contributors to FY 2023 revenues.

Free2move eSolutions contributes for c. €65 million to the Group's consolidated Revenues and other income, of which €54+ million coming from the new US company Free2move eSolutions US.

Atlante closed FY 2023 with Revenues and other income of €3.7 million.

The 20.2% Gross Margin is mainly driven by revenue mix, where NHOA Energy's turnkey contracting business model weights heavier than the e-Mobility (Free2move eSolutions) and EV Fastcharging Network (Atlante) business units, however, growing volumes of Free2move eSolutions and Atlante are positively impacting and progressively improving total Gross margin.

Backlog of NHOA Energy totals €205 million, mainly related to 800+MWh projects across Australia and EMEA. While this nominally represents a 32% decrease compared to FY 2022 Backlog, two important factors should be considered: i) the 20%+ industry-wide decrease in system prices, while beneficial for the energy storage market, is too recent to generate a material positive volume impact on Backlog, and so offset the immediate negative impact via lower unit prices; ii) the different portfolio mix, where related-party contracts (such as HePing Big Battery), represented 44% of FY 2022 Backlog, while FY 2023 Backlog is entirely backed by contracts with third parties (that increased by 22% in twelve months), determining the achievement of complete commercial non reliance on related-parties business.

The Pipeline of NHOA Energy stands above €1 billion, +6% year-on-year, across Australia, Asia, North and Latin America, Europe. NHOA Energy is currently shortlisted in four project opportunities.

Personnel costs reached €46.4 million, increasing more than 51% compared to FY 2022, mainly due to the increase in headcount. As of 31 December 2023, NHOA Group can count on 542 people compared to 451 in FY 2022. The strengthening of the workforce is mainly due to the consolidation of Atlante in four countries and to NHOA Energy's global growth and is in line with NHOA Group's roadmap and Masterplan10x.

Capital investments increased to €100.5 million, largely comprised of investments in the roll-out of the Atlante network.

R&D investments amounted to €11.3 million, representing approximately 4% of the consolidated Revenues.

Other Operating Expenses increased by c. 33%, amounting to €23.2 million, compared to €17.4 million in FY 2022, expressing an organic growth of every Business Unit of the Group.

EBITDA at Group level, excluding Atlante, turned positive, standing at €3.8 million. Free2move eSolutions exceeded the breakeven point, posting a positive EBITDA of c. €5.1 million with strong contribution coming from the US Market. NHOA Energy more than

tripled its EBITDA to €7.5 million, falling perfectly in the middle of the guidance range. At Group level, including Atlante, EBITDA stands at -€14.4 million in FY 2023, highlighting a significant improvement compared to -€32.9 million of FY 2022.

Non recurring expenses and Incentive Plan account for €4.5 million and €3.7 million, respectively; the first one is mainly due to expenses related to the European Commission grant under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program application support, the opening of the new legal entities in new countries and extraordinary and M&A activities, while the second is mainly related to the accrual as per IFRS 2 of the cost of the Long Term Incentive Plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2022.

EBIT and Net Result as of 31 December 2023 stand, respectively, at -€35.4 million and - €46.1 million, compared to -€50.4 million and -€52.2 million of the previous year.

Net Financial Position significantly increased to €100.6 million as at 31 December 2023 compared to €4.2 million as at 31 December 2022, mainly due to the successful completion of the equity capital increase through the Fall 2023 rights issue offering. The cash position as of 31 December 2023, represented by liquid assets, amounted to €238.9 million compared to €47.4 million at the end of the previous year.

Full Year 2023 Results by Business Unit

NHOA Energy

NHOA Energy, NHOA Group's business unit dedicated to energy storage, tripled its EBITDA, with €7.5 million of EBITDA realized over €205 million of revenues and other income, despite the continuous expansion of its headcount (+36% in 2023) in order to enhance the global origination and execution in line with its ambitions.

Revenues and Other Income grew by +33% year-on-year, with eight projects commissioned in 2023, bringing capacity in operation to over 800MWh. Among such projects are worldclass undertaking like the HePing Big Battery project (311MWh) in Taiwan, the Yingde project (107MWh) in mainland China and the Kwinana project (200MWh) in Western Australia.

Backlog for NHOA Energy totalizes €205 million. While this nominally represents a 32% decrease compared to FY 2022 Backlog, two important factors should be considered: i) the 20%+ industry-wide decrease in system prices, beneficial for prospective volumes but too recent to offset the impact on unit prices on the Backlog figure; ii) the different portfolio mix, where related-party contracts (such as HePing Big Battery), represented 44% of FY 2022 Backlog, while FY 2023 Backlog is entirely backed by contracts with third parties such as Neoen and EKU Energy (a 22% increase in twelve months), determining the achievement of complete commercial non reliance on related-parties business.

Pipeline for NHOA Energy remains stable at over €1 billion, despite the above-mentioned industry-wide decrease in system prices. The company is currently shortlisted in 4 project tenders.

Gross Margin stands at 14.6%, representing a relatively substantial increase compared to 9.1% of the FY 2022.

NHOA Energy confirms EBITDA positive, at €7.5 million in 2023, while continuing its geographical expansion and talent acquisition investments. NHOA Energy has focused on expanding its footprint in its key regions and has established three new subsidiary companies in Taiwan, the UK, and Spain. This move aims to enhance its engagement with the local markets, as evidenced by its latest contracts in the UK and Europe.

EBIT stands at -€1.7 million, improving from -€3.7 million of FY 2022. Net Result equals - €4.3 million.

Free2move eSolutions

Free2move eSolutions, NHOA Group's business unit dedicated to e-mobility products and services in joint venture with Stellantis, had a very positive 2023.

Free2move eSolutions Revenues and Other Income, indeed, reached €64.7 million, up +467% compared to the end of 2022, mainly due to the successful electrification of Stellantis dealers in North America.

In Europe the acceleration of EV domestic chargers penetration rate within the Stellantis portfolio of electric vehicles increased from 3% in H1 to 13% in Q4, whereas in the United States Free2move eSolutions successfully provided comprehensive support to Stellantis dealers in the deployment of Fast Charging solutions, totaling c. 2,300 units in 2023.

Gross Margin of the period stands at 36,2%, with a favorable mix from Free2move eSolutions US.

EBITDA exceeded €5 million thanks to the strong performance especially in the US market. EBIT reached breakeven as well, with a positive value of €0.3 million, while Net Result is at -€6.5 million, mainly due to financing costs and US income taxes.

Atlante

Atlante, NHOA Group's business unit dedicated to EV fast and ultra-fast charging network, is making significant progress toward its 2025 targets. Currently, it has 3,651 points of charge ("PoC") online and under construction, as to say over 600 points of charge more than the released guidance, and a pipeline of 4,400 additional sites. In 2023 Atlante has been selected once more by the European Union under CEF 2 Transport, after the €23

million award of 2022, with the award of a €49.9 million grant for the deployment of over 1,800 fast and ultra-fast points of charge. Atlante will also benefit from the financial support of France's Groupe Caisse des Dépôts, which will provide additional funding for approximately €20 million.

Atlante in 2023 inaugurated its landmark station at CityLife, Milan, co-branded with BMW and MINI and in partnership with Mastercard, to offer in this station and many others easy and straightforward ways of payment to EV drivers, and inaugurated its largest station to date, the e-mobility hub at To Dream, the new innovative urban district in Turin, with more than 130 fast and ultra-fast points of charge. Atlante was also awarded with 52 PoC to be deployed in Ancona, and 87 fastcharging points to be installed on French highways for Vinci Autoroutes. The latter were installed on four service areas and opened up just before the end of the year, in time to serve customers over the busy winter holiday season. In 2023 was also signed the partnerships with Groupe Duval in France for the installation of more than 180 fast and ultra-fast charging points across the country and the one with Avanza Food in Spain. In Portugal, after closing the announced acquisition of a majority stake in Kilometer Low Cost S.A. ("KLC"), Atlante fully integrated the existing business and then proceeded to install and bring online 188 fastchargers, the largest number to be installed in 2023 in the country by any Charging Point Operator.

During 2023 Atlante unveiled the exclusive design of Atlante's charging station design, in partnership with Bertone Design (New Crazy Colors), one of the world's most renowned design, architectural planning and all-around creativity companies. The team also continued the development of its proprietary energy management system, leveraging on the 15 years of know-how developed by NHOA.

Revenues and Other Income for 2023 amount to €3.7 million.

EBITDA of -€18.2 still reflects the start-up phase of the company and its investments in terms of people, technology and tools required to build up the development platform, coherent with Atlante's ambitious targets.

EBIT stands at -€25.8 million and Net Result stands respectively at -€27.9 million.

Notes to the Q4 2023 Trading and Operational Update

(1) Delta Net Working Capital indicator has been added in Q4 2023 and at each Quarter is calculated as (A) delta in short-term commercial liabilities over the three-month period less (B) delta in shortterm commercial assets over the three-month period.

(2) Net Cash indicator has been introduced in Q3 2023 and it represents the sum of the amount of (i) the bank accounts balances and readily available cash investments of the NHOA Group (Cash and Deposits), (ii) the amount of cash deposited with banks as collateral (and thus excluded from (i)) for the guarantees they issue for the NHOA Group's projects (Cash Collateralized), after deduction of (iii) amounts drawn under credit facilities and other financial indebtedness, plus accrued interest.

(3) the Consolidated Cash and Credit Lines available indicator has been amended in Q3 2023 and it represents the bank accounts balances and readily available cash investments of the NHOA Group (Cash and Deposits) plus amounts available for draw down as of the relevant reporting date under approved credit lines and banks guarantees that can be issued.

(4) Grants and Financing Awarded indicator has been introduced in Q3 2023 and it represents the total amount of grants and financing approved and available for drawdown on agreed future dates.

(5) Outstanding Bonds and Guarantees indicator has been introduced in Q3 2023 and it represents the amount of bank guarantee securities (i.e. advance payment bonds, performance bonds, warranty bonds and other guarantees) issued as financial security for the fulfillment of NHOA's obligations in accordance with the terms of the agreed project and commercial contracts.

(6) Backlog means the estimated revenues and other income attributable to (i) purchase orders received, contracts signed and projects awarded (representing 100% of Backlog as of the date hereof), and (ii) Project Development contracts associated with a Power Purchase Agreement, where the agreed value is a price per kWh of electricity and an amount of MW to be installed (nil at the date hereof). When any contract or project has started its execution, the amount recognized as Backlog is computed as (A) the transaction price of the relevant purchase order, contract or project under (i) and (ii) above, less (B) the amount of revenues recognized, as of the relevant reporting date,

in accordance with IFRS 15 (representing the amount of transaction price allocated to the performance obligations carried out at the reporting date).

(7) 12-month order intake represents the cumulated value of new purchase orders received, contracts signed and projects awarded in the 12 months preceding the relevant reporting date.

(8) Projects Under Construction is an indicator representing the capacity equivalent of Backlog, in terms of signed turnkey supply or EPC contracts and therefore excluding Project Development contracts associated with a Power Purchase Agreement, (please see Note (5) above).

(9) Pipeline means the estimate, as of the release date, of the amount of potential projects, tenders and requests for proposal for which NHOA Energy has decided to participate or respond.

(10) Sales include the data coming from the recent acquisition of the e-mobility business unit of Ressolar S.r.l. ("Ressolar") and the recent acquisition of the majority stake in Kilometer Low Cost S.A. ("KLC").

(11) Utilization Rate indicator first published in Q2 2023, applies to Italy, France and Spain only and is calculated first at station level as the ratio of (a) kWh sold divided (b) the maximum available power (i.e. the available grid connection) multiplied by 18 hours (being the assumed daily maximum charging hours) per number of days in the relevant period. The ratios are then aggregated, weighted by the stations' available power. Note that stations' utilization data is only included in the calculation after a phase-in period of six months and for sites with at least one DC fastcharging EVSE.

(12) Occupancy Rate indicator applies to Portugal only where, due to the different local market regulations, as Charge Point Operator (CPO) Atlante is remunerated for the usage of its infrastructure "by minute". Occupancy rate is therefore calculated on a 24-hour basis, at a charger level considering 1 PoC per EVSE as the ratio of (a) minutes of charging sessions sold divided (b) total number of minutes in the relevant period. The ratios are then aggregated, weighted by the stations' available power. Note that stations' occupancy data is only included in the calculation after a phase-in period of six months.

(13) Sites Online and Under Construction, includes, as of the relevant reporting date, the number of sites already operational, already installed but waiting for grid connection, secured and under construction. Please note that this performance indicator includes sites with AC points of charge, mainly coming from the KLC and Ressolar acquired networks.

(14) PoC Online and Under Construction, includes the points of charge already operational, as of the relevant reporting date, already installed but waiting for grid connection, secured and under construction. Please note that this performance indicator includes AC points of charge, mainly coming from the KLC and Ressolar acquired networks.

(15) Of the PoC Online and Under Construction performance indicator the geographical and construction phase split are provided, including the AC points of charge, mainly coming from the KLC and Ressolar acquired networks.

(16) Sites Under Assessment includes the total number of sites, as of the relevant reporting date, which are actively pursued after prospecting activity and following a first internal screening for high level feasibility. At this point, the full contractual documentation remains to be finalized and signed, all the required permits have not yet been awarded and construction has not started.

(17) Sites Under Development, includes sites for which a more detailed feasibility activity commences, including detailed discussions with site owners and exchange of documentation. For the sites included in the "under development" performance indicator there would be a reasonable degree of confidence that they can be converted into stations within the next six months (subject to interconnection and timely delivery of hardware).
