Opportunities
- The strategy will be a key enabler to:
- ✓ intercept growing Defence market needs, characterized by global relevant investments, huge size and pluri-annual contracts, enabling quick creation of backlog, thus supporting Corporate sales in seasonality risks reduction
- ✓ further consolidate leadership position in Italy (notwithstanding sector justice reform) and boost growth primarily in E.U.
- ✓ expand Corporate market presence to support creation of recurring stream of regular revenues throughout the year, accelerating the process of seasonality mitigation
Expected Revenues 2024

| PIPELINE | CONVERSION RATE | TOTAL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TOTAL | ~122 €M | ~11% | ~13-15 €M |
| BACKLOG | RECURRING | TOTAL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TOTAL | ~38 €M | ~31-34 €M | ~69-72 €M |





The results of the first 9 months of 2024 confirm the soundness of the CY4Gate Group with the improvement of all economic indicators compared to 9M 2023; seasonality of turnover - historically concentrated in the last quarter of the year - is still relevant partially offset by XTN and DARS (RCS group Company) sales

The Value of Production compared to 30 September 2023 grows by around 6% thanks to the defence sector, the cyber intelligence sector to support law enforcement in Italy, and the excellent performance of the newly acquired XTN. This growth offset the lack of revenues related to foreign orders in the Forensic Intelligence sector, affected by the uncertainty of the international geopolitical scenario

The Group continues to pursue its strategy to deseasonalize the business, also thanks to the creation of an important backlog with the closing of significant contracts in terms of amount and profitability, with multi-year duration. Guidance 2024 confirmed.
9M 2024 Key Data


▪ Revenues +5.8% compared to the first nine months of 2023, thanks to Defence and national Forensic Intelligence sectors, as well as the excellent performance of the newly acquired XTN Cognitive Security

▪ R&D Costs +85% compared to the comparative period taking account of the exposure of RCS's R&D costs from end of 2023.
Revenues¹ (€ mln) R&D (€ mln) EBITDA Adj. (€ mln)

▪ EBITDA Adjusted at €3.6 million – margins increased by 12% but still affected by lower revenues in foreign Forensic Intelligence
