(EXM, AV:IM) ("Antares Vision" or the "Company") met today in ordinary and extraordinary session, chaired by Eng. Emidio Zorzella. The meeting was held with 64.16% of the ordinary share capital present, representing 71.59% of total voting rights, exclusively through proxies granted to Computershare S.p.A., the designated representative pursuant to Article 135-undecies of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 ("TUF").

Approval of the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, and Allocation of the Result

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting reviewed and approved the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2024, along with the Management Report prepared by the Board of Directors. The financial statements showed a net loss of €25,524,153. The Meeting also acknowledged the consolidated financial statements as of the same date, which reported a consolidated net loss of €18,714,113, of which €18,766,923 was attributable to the Group, and the Sustainability Report prepared in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 125 of September 6, 2024.

In 2024, the Group reported Consolidated Net Revenues of €207.5 million, down €6.4 million (-3.0%) compared to the previous year. Changes in the consolidation scope (Antares Vision Rus, Markirovka As A Service LLC, Rfxcel LLC, and T2 Software) resulted in a decrease of €10 million. Adjusted EBITDA was €31.7 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to €14.3 million in 2023 (+€17.4 million, +121.1%), with a margin of 15.3% (6.7% in 2023). The increase was driven in part by reduced labor costs, totaling €93.1 million in 2024 versus €103.9 million in 2023 (-10.3% YoY).

Adjusted EBIT was €10.6 million (vs. -€2.8 million in 2023), up €13.4 million, representing 5.1% of revenues (-1.3% in 2023). This figure was affected by increased depreciation due to capitalized development costs and usage rights for company locations, as well as higher provisions for bad debts and product warranty funds. Financial income and expenses amounted to €4.9 million, impacted by €6.5 million in interest and financing costs. EBT stood at -€16.6 million (vs. -€100.4 million in 2023), an €83.8 million improvement. After taxes and minority interest, the net result was -€18.8 million (vs. -€99.6 million in 2023).

For a clearer view of profitability, the net result was normalized by removing the effects of PPA, goodwill impairment, extraordinary items, forex differences, and warrant-related impacts, resulting in a normalized net income of €3.1 million, compared to a loss of €9.5 million in 2023.

The Ordinary Meeting resolved to carry forward the 2024 net loss of €25,524,153 as reported in the approved financial statements.

Remuneration Policy and Compensation Report

The Ordinary Meeting also reviewed the Remuneration Policy and Compensation Report, approving the 2025 remuneration policy as described in the first section, and favorably voted on the second section concerning the compensation paid or due for FY 2024, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the TUF.
