Milan, 3 June 2021 - The Board of Directors of AbitareIn S.p.A., a Milan based leading company in residential development, listed on the MTA market, STAR segment, of Borsa Italiana, today approved the half-yearly consolidated financial report of the AbitareIn Group as at 31 March 2021.
"The first half of the year, albeit still shaped by the effects and uncertainties caused by the health emergency, saw AbitareIn being heavily engaged in all activities of its business" comments Luigi Gozzini, Chairman of the Company, "We have completed the handovers of the Abitare In Maggiolina project and completed, in fulfilment of the commitment made with customers, the works of the first 117 Olimpia Garden apartments, whose handovers began in May. Construction work continues on the buildings of Milano City Village and Palazzo Naviglio and we have started construction work on Trilogy Towers. We also invested in the purchase of new sites in the amount of Euro 34 million in the first 6 months of the year alone, further strengthening our pipeline both in terms of size and quality". Managing Director Marco Grillo adds: "The generalised lengthening of the time required to obtain the necessary authorisations and more generally the problems related to Covid have further reduced the availability of new homes in Milan, against a constant increase in demand not only from households but also, above all in recent months, from investors, with an inevitable effect on sales prices, which continue and will continue to rise.
Abitare In S.p.A.

In order to cope with this constant increase in demand, we are ready to launch, in the coming months, following the obtainment of the necessary authorisations, the marketing of 4 new projects in the Lambrate, Portello and Navigli areas.
Summary of the main consolidated financial results as at 31 March 2021
The first half of the year closed with CONSOLIDATED REVENUE of Euro 62,8 million, (+88% compared to the same period of the previous year), deriving from:
- Euro 25 million Sales Revenue (Euro 0 million in the first half of 2020),
- Euro 33,9 million change in inventory for the purchase of new real estate complexes (Euro 5 million in the first half of 2021),
- Production progress of Euro 29.1 million (Euro 27.9 million in the first half of 2020), which is impacted by a delay in the start-up of construction sites and hence lower production than expected on the last commercial sites, to the tune of approximately 8 million, due to the slowdown in obtaining the necessary authorisations following the outbreak of the pandemic. In detail, the ''change in inventory for progress of works'' of the real estate initiatives amounts to Euro 3.4 million, net of the outgoing inventory linked to handovers of the Abitare In Maggiolina project.
CONSOLIDATED EBT amounts to Euro 4.4 million and is the result of the following components,
also of an extraordinary nature:
- Increase of Euro 2.2 million due to the capital gain from the re-measurement at fair value of the equity investment in Tecma Solutions S.p.A.,
- Decrease of Euro 0.5 million due to the reversal of "listing costs" for the transition to the MTA Market - STAR segment,
- Decrease of Euro 7 million due to the non-application of the contracts standard (IFRS 15) on the Olimpia Garden Operation. Thus, since this operation was carried out on a property already partially built at the time of purchase, the management decided not to apply this accounting standard. However, since it is the only project developed by the Group so far to which the standard was not applied, in order to give a more homogeneous view of the status of the activities, it was deemed appropriate to represent the EBT figure, which is the data most impacted by such non-application, also adjusted to that effect. It is noted that the project was completed and the handovers started in May and that therefore this amount will be fully accounted for in the financial statements at the conclusion of the notarial deeds. As of today, of these 7 million, over 2.5 million have already been accounted for as a consequence of the first 46 deeds.
For these reasons, in order to allow a better analysis of the performance of the core activities, the management has defined the CONSOLIDATED PROFORMA EBT, adjusted by the extraordinary items, which is equal to Euro 9.7 million.
Abitare In S.p.A.

The CONSOLIDATED NET FINANCIAL POSITION amounts to Euro 54.3 million (Euro 26.1 million as at 30 September 2020), which contemplates the disbursement of Euro 28.3 million for the purchase of new sites (Euro 34 million by adding up the deposits already paid in previous years), Euro 30 million to the production trend of the operations in progress and it is positively influenced by the combined effect of the collections deriving from the sales of the subsidiary Abitare In Maggiolina (net of deposits and advances collected in previous years) equal to Euro 16,8 million and from deposits and advances collected relating to the preliminaries of the projects marketed for a total amount of Euro 14,2 million.

Development Pipeline Overview
At the date of approval of this report, the AbitareIn Group is the owner or promissory buyer of 17 areas in the City of Milan, corresponding to a total of 251.000 saleable square metres of projects under development, equal to over 2,700 apartments. The different areas are in different stages of development: some projects are currently under construction, others are in the process of obtaining the necessary authorisations, one (Olimpia Garden) is completed and currently in the handover stage.
Abitare In S.p.A.

The areas of the Pipeline are located in various strategic semi-central areas of the city, in contexts characterised by significant growth and development processes (Porta Romana District, Navigli, Lambrate, Portello/Certosa).
Out of the over 2,700 apartments under development, 629, for a value of Euro 246 million, have already been sold to customers on a preliminary basis, with formally agreed down payments (all secured by an insurance guarantee) of Euro 75 million.
To date, the Group has handed over 252 apartments, for a corresponding value of Euro 98 million, and 525 are under construction.
Main events after the reporting date
After the end of the half year, the Group completed the purchase of an area located in the Lambrate area in Milan, for a total amount of Euro 5.3 million.
Furthermore, as is well known, the handovers and notarial deeds of the first 117 apartments of the Olimpia Garden project started in May.
On 31 May, the Shareholders' Meeting of AbitareIn approved the 1:10 split of the company's shares and a stock grant plan dedicated to the Company's management, together with a free capital increase serving the latter, for a maximum nominal amount of Euro 5,100.00.
Outlook
In the current half of the year, the Group will continue its strategic activities, both development activities and sales, for the implementation of Pipeline projects and to seize new opportunities to increase it.
The handover and notarial deeds for the real estate units of the Olimpia Garden project, launched in May 2021, and construction site activities for the other Pipeline projects already marketed will continue. The Group will also continue in its sales activity, with the launch of new projects and in the preparatory activities for obtaining the authorisation permits for the other Pipeline projects.
Activities will also continue for the development of the new Homizy project in the PRS (Private Rented Sector) sector in the co-living mode.
It should be noted that the Group is also constantly active in the analysis and evaluation of new areas to be included in its Pipeline for the development of new real estate projects.
Although the consequences of the Covid-19 spread have not yet come to an end and therefore a swift return to "normality" cannot be assumed, the extraordinary reactivity of the residential sector, the relaxation of restrictions and the results of the first commercial campaigns carried out following the outbreak of the pandemic suggest a strongly positive trend for the sector in which AbitareIn operates.
Some slowdowns in the implementation of projects remain likely, especially due to delays in the issuance of authorisations by the Public Administration, which, on the other hand, will lead to a shortage of supply, a consequently to a likely increase in sales prices.
