5.2 Discretionary measurements and significant accounting estimates

The Interim Management Report at 30 September 2020 requires discretionary measurements and accounting estimates that have an effect on the value of statement of financial position assets and liabilities and on disclosures. The final results could differ from such estimates.

The estimates are used to measure goodwill, to recognise credit risk provisions, to determine writedowns on investments or assets, and to determine amortisation and depreciation and provisions for risks and charges. The estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any change are immediately reflected in the income statement.

6. Disclosure on Operating performance

The following table illustrates the Be Group income statement at 30 September 2021 compared with the same period of the previous year, both originating from half-year condensed consolidated financial statements prepared according to IAS/IFRS.

Alternative performance measures

In accordance with the ESMA guidelines on alternative performance measures (ESMA/2015/1415), the main alternative performance indicators used to monitor the Group's economic and financial performance are highlighted below.

Gross Operating Margin (EBITDA) - a non-GAAP measurement used by the Group to measure its performance. EBITDA is calculated as the algebraic sum of profit for the period before taxes, earnings (including exchange rate gains and losses), financial expense and non-monetary items, such as amortisation/depreciation, write-downs and allocations to provisions, even if classified under other items of the income statement.

Note that EBITDA is not an accounting measure under the IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Therefore, the calculation method applied by the Group may not be uniform with the one adopted by other groups and, consequently, the balance obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the one calculated by other groups either.

Net Financial Indebtedness - represents a valid indicator of the Group's financial structure. It is calculated as sum of current and non-current financial payables minus cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets.

Net invested capital - an asset measure to identify uses of capital (equity and debt) invested in the company.

7. Other disclosures

7.1 Main risks and uncertainties to which the Be Group is exposed

Detailed below are the main risks and uncertainties that could affect the business activities, financial conditions and prospects of the Be Group.

Risks associated with "Operating Performance"

In order to further improve operating performance, the Group believes it is important to achieve the strategic objectives of the 2021-2023 Business Plan. This Plan was prepared by the Directors on the basis of forecasts and assumptions inherent to future trends in operations and the reference market. The forecasts represent the best estimate of future events that are expected to occur and the projection of results from the actions that management intends to undertake. These were estimated on the basis of final figures, orders already received or sales to be made to established customers, and therefore have a higher probability of actually occurring. Vice versa, the assumptions relate to future events and actions, fully or partly independent from management action. Consequently, the Directors acknowledge that the strategic objectives identified in the 2021-2023 Plan, though reasonable, present profiles of uncertainty due to the chance nature of future events occurring and the characteristics of the reference market, and also as regards the occurrence of events represented in the plan, their extent and timing.

Risks associated with the "Financial Position"

The Be Group is exposed to financial risks associated with its operations, particularly interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the risk of cash flow fluctuations. In addition, essential upkeep of the bank credit facilities held is important to the Group in order to meet its overall current funding needs and to achieve the objectives of the 2021- 2023 Plan.

Risks associated with "Goodwill Impairment"

The Be Group could be negatively affected in terms of shareholders' equity value if there was an impairment to goodwill recognised in the financial statements at 30 September 2021, which may be necessary if the cash flows generated were insufficient with respect to those forecast and envisaged in the 2021-2023 Plan.

Risks associated with "Litigation Liabilities"

The Be Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as defendant, where Group Companies have been summoned by third parties, and as plaintiff, where these Companies have summoned third parties.

Risks associated with "Restructuring" activities

In recent years, the Be Group began a restructuring of its area of business, implementing, when possible, reduction of personnel, also through transfers. There is a risk of appeals against such actions and the proceedings have given rise to prudential allocation of provisions in the Consolidated financial statements. Uncertainty remains in any event regarding the decisions of the authorities involved.

Risks associated with "Competition"

The ICT consulting market is highly competitive. A number of competitors could be able to expand their product mix to our detriment. In addition, an intensification of the level of competition could affect Group business and the option of consolidating or widening its competitive position in the reference sectors, with subsequent repercussions on business and on the income, equity and financial positions.

Risks associated with "Technological Change"

The Group operates in a market characterised by profound and continuous technological changes that call for the capacity to adapt quickly and successfully to such developments and to the changing needs of its customers. Any inability of the Group in adapting to new technologies and therefore to the needs of its customers could have a negative impact on operating performance.

Risks related to dependence on key personnel

The Group's success depends largely on certain key personnel that have been a determining factor in its development, in particular the executive directors of the Parent Company. The Group companies also have an executive team with many years of experience in the field, playing a crucial role in managing its activities. The loss of any of these key figures without a suitable replacement, and the inability to attract and retain new, qualified resources, could have a negative impact on the Group's prospects, business activities, operating performance and financial position. Management considers in any event that the Group has an operational and executive structure capable of ensuring business continuity.

Risks associated with internationalisation

As part of its internationalisation strategy, the Group could be exposed to risks typical of international operations, including those relating to changes in the political, macroeconomic, tax and/or regulatory frameworks and to fluctuating exchange rates.

Covid-19

With regard to the main factors of uncertainty existing at the time of submission of this Interim Report, those relating to the ongoing medical emergency relating to the Covid-19 pandemic (Coronavirus) should be noted.

The Be Group continued to operate during the Covid-19 health emergency, safeguarding the health of its employees and partners and expanding the use of remote working methods where possible. At the operational level, business continuity has been guaranteed everywhere.

Specifically, as mentioned above, given the particular type of Be Group's reference market - mainly large financial institutions - the Covid-19 pandemic had almost no impact on the company's business in 2020 and in the first half of 2021. Indeed, all of the major Financial Institutions accelerated their Digital transformation process and the Group offered full support to all of its customers. In addition, it should be considered that the Financial Institutions, which account for almost all of the Be Group's customers, carry out services that have been deemed "essential" by the Ministerial Decree and have maintained their operations even during the lock-down periods.

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2021, as part of the main measurement and estimation processes, and in line with what was carried out for the consolidated accounts at 31 December 2020, sensitivity analyses were conducted to identify the value of the key parameters for which the recoverable amounts would coincide with book values.

Although conducted at a time of general uncertainty, these analyses did not indicate any clear risk of future impairment of the amounts recognised in the financial statements at 30 September 2021, considering the macro-economic scenario consequent to the aforementioned pandemic.

In any case, constant monitoring will be carried out in the course of the year.

7.2 Investment in development

The Be Group's development activities have always aimed to consolidate customer relations, develop new forms of business for them and acquire new customers. The main development projects regard the technological platforms owned by the Be Group. In particular, during the first nine months of 2021, investments were made for the development and upgrade of the technological platforms "Universo Sirius" - relating to the management of Life and Non-life insurance portfolios - by Be Digitech Solutions, of the company's internal ICT system by Be Digitech Solutions and Be Management Consulting, of the digital applications by Iquii and Tesla, and of the IT platforms of Be Ukraina, Fimas GmbH and Be Shaping the future GmbH (Germany), specialised in various areas of the banking industry. The Be Group will continue to invest in development, planning additional project opportunities. The objective of the latter will be to expand the offer through the realisation of technological platforms to provide services to customers.

7.3 Own shares

Pursuant to art. 2428 paragraph 4 of the Italian Civil Code, we note that the Parent Company holds 7,157,460 own shares with a face value of Euro 1, equal to 5.306% of the share capital.

7.4 Significant events in the third quarter of 2021

In July Be reached a preliminary agreement to acquire 55% of the share capital of Soranus AG, a management consulting company based in Switzerland – specialized in Financial Industry – with approximately 9 mln/€ in revenues. The acquisition was completed at a purchase price of 4.7 mln/€ against a company EBITDA of 1.14 mln/€ and a positive NFP of about 1.0 mln/€. The current managing directors shall remain as minority shareholders and are committed to continue to drive the growth of the firm working for the company. Be will complete the acquisition of the remaining shares through a structure of Put&Call options to be exercised over the next years.

Furthermore, in July, Be has been awarded a new multi-year assignment by a major German Financial Institution with a "systemic" role in the financial services market in Germany and Europe. Under the agreement, Be will provide organizational and IT consulting services for a total minimum value of €8 million over three years. The scope of the project is to provide hands-on management of some operational systems with higher criticality, and to support it in a rapid transition to state-of-the-art IT processes and technologies. The agreement requires services to be provided in Luxembourg and in the Czech Republic.

At the end of July, Be completed the transfer of its operating subsidiaries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from the German sub-holding Be Shaping The Future GmbH in Munich to the Italian company Be Shaping The Future Management Consulting S.p.A., the real driving force behind the consulting hub.

8. Significant events after 30 September 2021 and business outlook

In light of the period results and in spite of the macroeconomic uncertainties due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, at the present time it is reasonable to confirm the Company's yearly and overall targets under the 2021-2023 Business Plan.

The financial calendar for 2021, as announced, is currently confirmed..
