• GROUP'S CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT EQUAL TO EURO 5.7 MILLION (Euro 7.9 million as at June 30, 2021) to which must be added € 5.9 mln of the income from the Homizy IPO, already accounted for in the equity reserve.
Milan, 8 August 2022 - The Board of Directors of AbitareIn S.p.A., a leading Milan based company in residential development, listed on the MTA market, STAR segment, of Borsa Italiana, today approved the Interim Report on consolidated operations of the Company as at June 30, 2022 (third quarter of the fiscal year).
Luigi Gozzini, President of AbitareIn, comments on the results as follows: "Thanks to the doubling, compared to the previous year, of construction activities on our sites, we are able to confirm, by October, the start of deliveries to clients of the Palazzo Naviglio and Milano City Village projects. In fiscal year 2023, 420 apartments will be delivered, including the Trilogy Towers project, for €180 mln, with proceeds, net of deposits already paid by clients, of €130 mln, of which €76 mln will go to reduce the Group's debt, consisting, let us remember, of land loans. This year's profitability is affected by the increase in construction costs on the 5 projects marketed before the introduction in the sales preliminary deeds of the "price adjustment clause," € 21 mln total higher costs, which we have incorporated in our results and planning, starting in the first quarter of the year."
Adds Marco Grillo, A.D. of the Company, "Even in this second half of the year, the residential market in Milan continues in its upward trend. The scarcity of supply, combined with the growth of the propensity to buy on the part of families and investors, continues to influence the trend of sales prices, which are expected to grow in the coming years as well, always remembering that our City, as various
1 No. of apartments, considering an average surface area of 92 m2 for the marketing in unrestricted building and 82 m2 for social housing. The actual number of apartments built and for which contracts have been signed - without prejudice to the combined floor area (m2) may vary depending on the level of customisation of the surface area of the real estate units.
studies state, is still far from reaching its maximum potential. On the other hand, we are beginning to see the first signs of settling - and descending - construction costs, thanks in part to the decline in some raw and semi-finished materials."
The third quarter of the fiscal year closed with CONSOLIDATED REVENUE of Euro 103.8 million, (euro 90.8 million as at June 30, 2021), substantially influenced by the progress of work on construction sites. In fact, the revenues derive mostly from:
Progress in production amounts to Euro 81.4 million (euro 41.9 million in the third quarter 2021) for the prosecution of construction works in the sites of Milano City Village, Trilogy Towers and Palazzo Naviglio and the preparatory works of di Lambrate Twin Palace, Cadolini ex-Plasmon, Porta Naviglio Grande, Savona 105, BalduccioDodici and NoLo.
€5.9 million of income deriving from the IPO of the subsidiary Homizy, recognised instead directly in equity, without going through profit or loss (in fact, a different accounting treatment has been envisaged compared to what was communicated with the approval of the interim statement as at 31 December 2021, where it had been expressly specified). The other accounting method does not affect the Group's equity.
Downward adjustment of €5.6 million, already entirely envisaged with the approval of the figures of the first quarter, due to the increase in construction costs on the construction sites nearing the hand over, following the definition of agreements with the contractors of these construction sites aimed at supporting the production chain and ensuring the delivery of a quality product to customers without further delays in timing.
In this regard, it is recalled that the overall margin is affected by the increase in construction costs which occurred over the last year, which, on the 5 projects marketed before the occurrence of this increase, amounts to a total of about € 21 million. On these 5 projects there was no provision for the inclusion of the so-called "price adjustment clause," which allows the sale price of apartments already
subject to the preliminary contract to be changed on the basis of the construction cost index issued by ISTAT, introduced, however, in all subsequent commercializations.
Therefore, taking into account the income from the Homizy IPO and net of aforementioned items, the EBT ADJ is € 22.5 mln.
The EBT is also increased, by €0.4 million, by income not deriving from operating activities, given by the capital gain from the re-measurement at fair value of the equity investment in Tecma Solutions S.p.A.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT as at June 30, 2022 is equal to euro 25.4 million (euro 13.8 million as at September 30, 2021).
The CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DEBT is equal to Euro 108.8 MILLION (Euro 75.1 million as at September 30, 2021) influenced upward by the construction progress on the ongoing projects , with total investments of € 54.6 mln, and purchases of new areas for € 15.8 mln (net of advance payments made in previous years).

At the current date, the AbitareIn Group is the owner of 22 areas in the City of Milan (of which 6 on a preliminary basis), corresponding to a total of 296,000 saleable square metres of projects under development, equal to 3,2742 equivalent apartments. The different areas are in different stages of development.
As of today, the order book has more than 680 apartments sold on a preliminary basis, with a countervalue of € 297.4 mln, with contracted advances (secured by an insurance surety policy) of € 93.1 mln.
The Group has delivered 412 apartments, split between the three projects Abitare In Poste, Abitare In Maggiolina and Olimpia Garden, for a total value of €132.2m, while 551 apartments are currently under construction, of the total value of €237m.
As for the "maturity" of the pipeline, i.e., the progress of the authorization processes, thanks to the work carried out by a team specialised in this area, within AbitareIn, which is responsible for carrying out the preparatory activities to obtain the necessary authorisations to carry out the projects, more than 1,280 equivalent apartments will be ready for marketing3 by the end of 2022, while more than 2,460 equivalent apartments will be ready for marketing by the end of 2023 (cumulative figure).
Even the second half of the year confirms the strongly positive trend of the residential market.
This is confirmed by the results of our marketings, which thanks to new sales strategies are maximizing the potential of the market, and it is confirmed by the studies and forecasts, which report almost daily news about the increase in demand and prices: the most recent, the study prepared by Nomisma4 , which predicts, between now and 2024, a cumulative increase in house purchase prices of 12%.

3 Construction site that can be launched within 12 months
4 2° Rapporto sul Mercato Immobiliare 2022: analisi congiunturale e prospettive future
The main reason lies in housing demand, which is at an all-time high, with 3.7 percent of households saying they are looking for a home, and an additional 9.6 percent intending to start looking within a year.
After the end of the period, the Group continued its operations in the pipeline areas, both in relation to those with construction already underway and those at a less advanced stage. Preparation activities for the construction of the properties are carried out continuously by the Group, having a pipeline of 22 areas in various stages.
To date, three projects, Milano City Village, Palazzo Naviglio and Trilogy Towers, are nearing completion, with the presentation of the completion of the work scheduled for the month of October 2022 for the first two projects (for Milano City Village – first building - and Palazzo Naviglio, where the completion inspections with customers have already begun).
Instead, with regard to the other areas under development, urban-planning type activities aimed at obtaining the permits are currently under way for some reclamation and demolition activities have already begun (or completed) for other areas, while construction tenders are in progress for other ones. In this regard, at the end of July, works were awarded for the Porta Naviglio Grande project to the construction company Chianese Group s.r.l., with the start of work scheduled for September.
During the current year, the marketing started in recent months will also continue, again through the strategy of the so-called "micro-campaigns".
Land development and pipeline value appreciation activities will also continue at full speed, which saw a considerable advancement in the authorisation processes of the numerous projects in the pipeline. Work is also nearing completion on three projects under construction, Milano City Village, Palazzo Naviglio and Trilogy Towers, for 420 flats, with the presentation of the end of work scheduled for October 2022 for the first two projects (Milano City Village - first building - and Palazzo Naviglio, on which completion inspections with clients have already begun).
Finally, with reference to the increase in the cost of raw materials and, in general, in the construction costs that occurred in recent months, there are the first signs of a decline in these prices, also favored by the decline in some raw materials and semi-finished products. In any case, in the last few months, AbitareIn has developed various strategies to deal with this situation, starting from a careful and opportunistic planning for launching the various residential projects, together with the conclusion of
multi-year agreements with various strategic partners, in order to sterilise any future increases. In addition, the preliminary contracts with customers of the latest projects include a so-called "price adjustment" clause, which allows the sale price of the apartments already subject to a preliminary contract to be changed on the basis of the index of construction costs issued by ISTAT.
