Genoa, 29 March 2022 – The Board of Directors of EdiliziAcrobatica S.p.A. ("Company" or "EDAC"), a company specialised in external renovation works using double safety ropes, listed on the Euronext Growth Milan segment (ticker symbol EDAC) and on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker symbol ALEAC), which met today under the chairmanship of Riccardo Iovino, examined and approved the draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, drawn up in accordance with the Euronext Growth Issuers' Regulation and in accordance with Italian accounting standards.

 Riccardo Iovino, CEO and Founder of EDAC, commented that "2021 was an exceptional year for EdiliziAcrobatica, with a positive performance that led to growth in revenues of 89.9%. A year during which the company grew, achieving excellent results, but this is nothing extraordinary because for at least 15 years EdiliziAcrobatica has been posting performances that reflect double-digit growth. Tax bonuses have certainly offered us an opportunity that we have been able to seize, but what distinguishes our way of doing business is precisely the ability to glimpse opportunities in any circumstance, even those that seem less favourable. This is how we do things, it's the basis of our business model – and it has proven to be perfectly replicable and scalable even internationally – making EdiliziAcrobatica the leading company in Italy in the exterior renovation sector. Likewise, the efforts that we are undertaking from an ESG perspective also make EdiliziAcrobatica an increasingly attentive company not only with respect to the needs of its customers, but also of its employees, the environment and the local communities we try to take care of through our work. The future that we can see today, also in

light of the trends we've seen in the first months of 2022, is therefore a very positive one where once again our ability to read market demands in advance and identify the best answer for each will guide us in pursuing new and increasingly ambitious objectives in Italy and abroad".

Total consolidated revenues for 2021 increased by 89.9% and amounted to approximately €87.7 million, compared with approximately €46.2 million in 2020. As regards the revenues of the Italian company, note that in accordance with the provisions of the "Communication on the methods of accounting for tax bonuses" issued by the Italian Accounting Body (OIC), these were recorded at market value (i.e. fair value), i.e. net of the charges for the transfer of the tax bonus that was deducted from the sale contracts stipulated by the Italian Company with Banca Intesa Sanpaolo during the 2021 financial year. In compliance with this OIC communication, consolidated revenues of €98.6 million were recorded net of charges for the transfer of the tax bonus of €11.7 million, thus bringing the total value of consolidated sales revenues to €86.9 million.

2021 saw an EBITDA of €21.28 million, an increase of 326% compared to €5.0 million in 2020. Such a robust increase was facilitated not only by the exceptional result of the Italian company, which benefited from the introduction of the Façade Bonus incentive included in the "Relaunch Decree" to stimulate building improvement works, but also by the great dynamism and strong

organisational capacity of the entire Group. The sharp increase in EBITDA allowed the Group to expand even further in Italy by increasing its operational areas, but also more importantly to strengthen its central and corporate functions at the service of foreign companies. The French company contributed negatively to EBITDA for about €0.87 million. In this regard, it should be noted that the Company incurred a considerable amount of training costs necessary to finalise the organisational process and to adapt to the Group's philosophy and principles.

Amortisation and depreciation, equal to €2.3 million, increased by 105% compared to the previous year (€1.12 million), also following their suspension during the previous year (equal to €0.89 million) due to the lockdown period and the subsequent slowdown in production. Writedowns (€0.65 million) for hard-to-recover receivables, also because of the difficult economic situation, brought EBIT to € 18.33 million, a strong increase compared to 2020 (€3.14 million).

Financial management generated net financial charges of €1.53 million, compared to the net financial charges incurred during 2020 of €0.39 million. The increase in net financial charges is mainly due to application of the moratorium envisaged by the "Cure Italy" Decree-Law of 17 March 2020 which allowed for the possibility of suspending the payment of mortgage instalments. Furthermore, note that the average cost of funding in 2021 was 0.6%, down from around 2.5% in 2020 and about 3.7% in 2019.

The result for 2021 was a net profit of €11.1 million, a sharp increase of €1.7 million compared to the net profit for 2020.

The 2021 data show a sharp increase in the value of production, which amounted to €83.5 million at 31 December 2021, almost doubled compared to €42.8 million in 2020, recording an increase of +95%.

 According to the provisions of the "Communication on the methods of accounting for tax bonuses" issued by the Italian Accounting Body (OIC), the Company's revenues were adjusted: i) to the market value (i.e. fair value) of receivables for work completed as at 31 December 2021 and not yet transferred to the banking system; ii) the value of charges incurred during the year for the transfer of tax bonuses to Banca Intesa Sanpaolo. Therefore, in compliance with this OIC communication, the revenues relating to the works performed involving transfers to third parties pursuant to art. 121 of the Relaunch Decree converted into Italian Law 77/2020 of 19 July 2020 were recorded net of the market value of the tax bonus (i.e. fair value) equal to €11.75 million, of which €7.12 million relating to charges for contracts transferred during the 2021 financial year.

The strong growth in EBITDA, equal to €21.94 million, an increase of 315.5% compared to €5.28 in 2020, was due more to an increase in revenues than to cost dynamics. Such a robust increase was facilitated not only by introduction of the Façade Bonus incentive included in the "Relaunch Decree" to stimulate building improvement works, but also by the great dynamism of the company and its strong organisational capacity. The increase consequently made it possible to expand the operational areas throughout the country, which increased compared to the previous year, but also more importantly to strengthen the central and corporate functions. Amortisation and depreciation, equal to €2.03 million, were 128% higher than the previous year (€0.89 million) due to the fact that in 2020 the Company benefited from their suspension (equal to €0.89 million) because of the lockdown period and the subsequent slowdown in production during 2020. Write-downs (€0.65 million) for hard-to-recover receivables due to the difficult general economic situation brought EBIT to €19.26 million, an increase of 427.7% compared to 2020 (€3.65 million).
