This result demonstrates the strong resilience of our company despite the ongoing challenging macroeconomic environment and reflects our commitment to delivering solid and sustainable results through continuous innovation of systems and products and operational efficiency.

Revenue from sale of goods experience a decrease of 12% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, dropping from EUR 5.9 million to EUR 5.2 million, while still maintaining a significant share of total operating revenues net of the change in finished and semi-finished product inventories (+79% Q1 2024 vs +89% Q1 2023) benefiting from the development of engineering services, typically with higher profitability. Thanks to the revenue mix, the profitability margin2 of the first quarter of 2024 were in line with expectations and increased compared to the same period last year.

Revenues for "Service" and royalties follow the expected trend.

The growth outlook for 2024 remains in line with management's expectations although there were slight slowdowns in the first quarter attributable to the following factors:

  • postponement in the delivery of some units due to the delay in obtaining the export license by the customer to Civitanavi, paralyzing the program for several months; to date the license has been obtained and the program is proceeding in its normal course. This event had an impact in both revenues from sale of goods and revenues from engineering service.
  • the delivery of the electronic boards necessary for the production of the units and kits (sets of components that are assembled by the customer who will pay a royalty to the Group), already on backlog as of December 31, 2023, continues to have a medium-term lead time, therefore, it has not been possible to complete the planned sales within the first quarter. However, current planning confirms the fulfillment of what was budgeted within the fiscal year.
  • As part of the partnership with Honeywell, offers are in the process of being finalized for the sale of the HG2800 product, in co-investment, which as of March 31, 2024, have not yet generated revenues.

The change in inventories of finished and semi-finished products reflects improved efficiency of inventory management and decreased by 61% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, dropping from EUR 1.4 million on March 31, 2023, to EUR 0.5 million on March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, significant inventory change was mainly due to maintaining an efficient supply chain of materials, even in the face of inflation and electronic materials shortages.

REVENUES BY BUSINESS AREA

As of March 31, 2024, Civitanavi has achieved excellent performance in all business areas, confirming strength in all Group divisions, particularly in the Aerospace and Defense sector, which delivered a 6% growth compared to the same period of the previous year.

As of March 31, 2024, revenues in Italy amounted to EUR 1.2 million, an increase of 97% compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly due to the dynamics of reference orders, specifically related to the Land defence division of Aerospace and Defense.

Regarding the APAC area, revenues amounted to EUR 0.7 million, a 50% increase compared to 0.5 million euros in the same period of the previous year, attributable to the Industrial division and Aeronautics of Aerospace and Defense division.

In the EMEA area (excluding Italy), revenues stood at EUR 4.4 million, down 23% compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease affects both the Aerospace and Defense and Industrial divisions.

Finally, the North America market recorded a strong growth of +264% compared to the same period of the previous year, also thanks to the cost-sharing agreement for product development with Honeyewell. Therefore, the revenue booked in 2023 had been adjusted based on the reconciliation of expenses incurred as of the contract signing date.

It is specified that the Group has no business relationship with Russian Federation or Israel.

BOOKING – ORDERS RECEIVED

As of the date of this document, May 9, 2024, the orders received during 2024 amount to EUR 8.6 million.

The negative variation compared to the bookings recorded in the same period of 2023 (EUR 20.4 million, data communicated to the market on May 9, 2023) is attributable to the new multi-year orders received during the first quarter of 2023, related to both kits and engineering services, for which the Group currently has a significant backlog to date.

The Group remains confident about the long-term demand trends in our sector, fueled by its main distinctive competitive features.

Civitanavi also recorded a Book to Bill ratio of 103% at the end of 2023, data that confirm the strength of the Group's order base, reflecting the persistent sector demand and customer confidence in the products and services offered.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE QUARTER

The Board of Directors approved the transfer of the registered office from Pedaso (FM) to Porto Sant'Elpidio (FM). The move to the new operational Headquarters of the Civitanavi Systems Group, will be completed by the end of the second quarter 2024.
