Firenze, September 12, 2023 – The Board of Directors of El.En. S.p.A., leader on the laser market, listed on the Star segment of the Italian Stock Exchange, released today the six months financial report as of June 30, 2023.

The first half of 2023 closed with a further increase in the Group's revenues, up to 346 million of euro, +6% compared to 1H 2022, largely in line with the forecast indications released by the group at the beginning of the year, with a slight delay on the objectives of confirming the record EBIT of the previous year. Demand remained sustained and solid in most of the Group's markets, unaffected by the complex general economic conditions - in Italy, Europe and the USA. The Group continues to be recognized among the reference leaders in the markets in which it operates, with a variety and quality of offer that best interprets the needs of customers in sectors in which demand remains high, such as the medical sector of aesthetic treatments and laser system for surgery, or the sheet metal cutting in the manufacturing sector. The trend highlighted positive results in all sectors and segments with the sole exception of the laser cutting market in China which caused the delay compared to the 2023 EBIT objectives.

In the medical sector the six months revenue was close to 200 million of euro, recording an 8,5% growth and improving its income form operation as well. A particularly positive trend was achieved in sales of laser systems for surgical applications and a more contained growth in systems for aesthetics and therapy, also due to a reduced liveliness of some fundamental markets such as the Middle East and Japan.

In the laser cutting sector, Cutlite Penta and Cutlite do Brasil recorded a very positive trend in the six months, expanding the business volume both in Italy and abroad and improving profitability compared to the first half of 2022. The conditions of the Chinese market still remained unfavorable with a disappointing performance compared to recovery expectations for the current financial year. The expected recovery of the Chinese economy after the year of lockdowns failed, highlighting a

difficult environment for the growth of economic activities. The dynamics of the laser cutting systems market revealed instead a tightening of competitiveness, with further reductions in average prices shifting our break-even point to higher levels than those achieved in the reported period. The Industrial Sector records a 2,1% growth, due to a negative performance on the Chinese market.

The first half of 2023 closed with consolidated revenues of 345,6 million of euro vs. 326,9 million of euro in 1H 2022, with a change of approximately +6%; EBITDA was equal to 45,7 million of euro with a 3,3% decrease and an EBITDA margin on sales equal to 13,2% compared to 47,2 million of euro in the same period of 2022.

EBIT was 38,9 million of euro, down 6% from the 41,4 million of euro of the six months of 2022.

The Group NET profit was 25,8 million of euro down 9,3% on the 28,4 million of 1H 2022.

Gabriele Clementi, President of El.En. S.p.A. said:" The first half of the year was marked by a further increase in the Group revenues, thanks to a solid demand for products recorded in all application segments and in all geographical markets in which the Group operates, with the sole exception of China for laser cutting where a slowdown occurred, due to the lack of the expected post Covid general recovery, which continues to slow down all economic activities in the country. The six months financial results were largely in line with the revenue guidance issued in May for 2023, and highlighted an operating income slightly lower than expected, entirely due to the delay in the recovery of the Chinese market. The Group's reference markets continue to offer important business opportunities and, aware of the Group's potential, we currently confirm the expectation of a slight increase in the yearly consolidated revenues and of being able to contain the delay in the operating income, compared to 2022, within the extent registered in the first half of 2023 ".

The excellent results once again registered in the period were achieved not only due to the excellence of the group's offering, but also thanks to a financial strength, accumulated in past years, which allowed in the critical phase of the supply chains and of the increase in interest rates to adequately serve the market, albeit with a significant expansion in working capital which however will be reduced with the normalization of the supply chain.

In the first half of the year the group once again made use of its liquid assets to significantly expand its working capital, with purchases of raw materials performed well in advance of production and early payment of suppliers to guarantee to the Group priority in deliveries and provide stability to the production processes hindered by the unavailability of components.

In the first half of 2023, growth in the medical sector was solid in all application segments. Aesthetics - which represents the most significant sector with a 57% weight on the overall turnover - highlighted sales for approximately 114 million of euro compared to 111 million in the same period of 2022. The weight on total medical sales decreased slightly in the half-year due to the growth of the other segments. With 38,5 million of euro in revenues the performance in the sale of surgical devices was very strong (up from vs. 30,1 million of euro in 1H2022) with a 28% increase thanks above all to systems for urology. In the field of aesthetic applications, the excellent sales trend of CO2 and Erbium laser systems and systems delivering nano and picosecond laser pulses for toning, tattoo removal and anti-aging treatment continued in the period.

After-sales service sales were close to 18,5% of the sector's turnover, with a result of approximately 36,7 million of euro (vs. 33,3 million in the same period of 2022), a strong increase thanks above all to the sale of consumables for surgical applications. The activities of the medical sector mainly showed brilliant trends, both from the point of view of turnover and profitability, improving compared to the first half of 2022.

In the industrial applications sector, on a six months basis the increase in revenues was approximately 2,14%, up to 147,1 million of euro vs. 144,0 million of euro in 1H 2022, driven however by the sheet metal cutting segment which recorded an overall slight decline in demand with a

turnover of approximately 121,7 million euros vs. 122,1 million euros in the first half of 2022, a 0,3% decrease, and a share equal to approximately 83% of the total sector's sales. The sales performance recorded in Italy, Europe and the USA by Cutlite Penta was again very brilliant, with an excellent 25% growth in the six months revenues, while in China there was a slowdown with a drop in turnover of around 20%.

In the marking segment there was a deep acceleration with a 33,5% growth and an overall sales volume of approximately 14,5 million of euro compared to 10,9 million in 1H2022 and an incidence on the sector turnover of 9,83 % compared to 7,52% in 1H 2022. Sales of marking systems present further development prospects on international markets.

The laser sources sector reported growth of 6,8% and a turnover of 2,2 million of euro compared to 2,0 million euros as of June 30, 2022.

Sales were growing in the art conservation segment as well, a segment which gives great prestige to the group, which contributes with its laser technologies to the restoration of absolute masterpieces. The sector of conservation of artistic heritage represents for the El.En. Group one of the most significant commitments in activities with a social impact and our skills and technologies are made available for the conservation of artistic manufacts, playing a role and involving values that go far beyond mere budgetary results.

In recent months the El.En. group is collaborating, with its lasers, in the cleaning work of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and in the cleaning of the rock tombs in the Tabuk area in Saudi Arabia. We also collaborated in Florence on the restoration of the gilding of two masterpieces of great symbolic importance for the city of Florence: the statue of Judith by Donatello and the inscriptions on the base of the equestrian statue of Cosimo I by Giambologna, restored to their brilliance and soon visible in Signoria square.

At a geographical level, in the first six months of 2023 growth in overall turnover was quite significant in the various areas of the world. The greatest increase was recorded in Italy with an approximately 22,6%, and revenues reaching approximately 80,8 million of euro and an approximately 23,4% share of total revenues, compared to the 65,9 million of euro in 1H 2022. Europe grew by approximately 8,7% with a turnover of approximately 75,2 million of euro compared to approximately 69,2 million in the first six months of 2022. In the Rest of the World the first half

of 2023 showed revenues of approximately 189,6 million of euro compared to approximately 191,9 million of euro in the same period of 2022, with a change of approximately -1,2% and a share on total revenues of about 55%.

During the half-year, the activities carried out in the field of sustainability by the Group continued and were also included among the performance objectives for management compensation. The 2023-2027 five-year plan identifying specific and measurable sustainability activities and objectives was approved by the Board of Directors of El.En. S.p.A.. The main themes within the Plan are the fight against climate change, circular economy, promotion of a responsible supply chain, the enhancement of people and the contribution to the community, confirming the continuous commitment to sustainable development and that environmental and social responsibility are increasingly an integral part of the Group's business model.

In deeper detail:

Gross Margin in 1H 2023 was roughly 131,5 million of euro, up 7,9% on the 121,9 million of euro as of June 30, 2022. The increase was larger than the increase in revenues due to a slight recovery in margin on sales, from 37,3% to 38%.

EBITDA amounted to 45,7 million of euro, down by 3,3% compared to the 47,2 million of 1H 2022. EBTDA margin on sales decreased (14,4% in 2022 vs. 13,2% in 2023).

EBIT marked a positive balance of approximately 38,9 million of euro, down by 6,1% compared to the 41,4 million of euro of 30 June 2022, with an EBIT margin on sales of 11,2%,

Income before taxes showed a positive balance of 37,8 million of euro (41,7 million of euro in 1H 2022).

The Group's net income amounted to 25,8 million of euro compared to 28,4 million euros in 1H 2022.

The Group's net financial position remained positive for 10,2 million euros at 30 June 2023 and recorded a decrease of approximately 65,2 million in the period, compared to the 75,4 million as of December 31, 2022. These balances for June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are affected by the restatement which reduced net equity and net financial position of Penta Laser Zhejiang by approximately 13 million of euro, as explained in detail in the following paragraph. Net working capital expansion absorbed cash for 58,8 million in the half-year (of which 26,5 in the first quarter), while the change in advances from customers and to suppliers and in tax payables and credits absorbed another 14,9 million in the 6 months (16,9 in the first quarter). Capex amounted to 8,5 million, down as expected compared to the previous year's figure. Furthermore, dividends for 18,9 million of euro were distributed to shareholders. The significant cash contribution from income generation, equal to 27,9 million euros in the six months, could not avoid cash absorption. The persistence of good current profitability, the reversal of the trend in working capital expansion trend and the absence of dividends to be paid should allow a clear improvement in the net financial position at the end of the financial year.

We also noted that the Group invested part of its cash in insurance-type financial instruments. Since they are medium-term liquidity investments, such amounts are not accounted for within the net financial position. As of June 30, the total fair value of the investments was equal to 23.6 million of euro.

***********

Restatement of the previous year balances according to IAS 8 paragraphs 41-42

When preparing the consolidated six months financial statements as of 30 June 2023, the Group revised the determination made as of 31 December 2022 relating to the representation, according to international accounting standards, of the capital increase of Penta Laser Zhejiang subscribed between October and December 2022 by four Chinese private equity funds. In reviewing the timing of the possible IPO project of the cutting division on a Chinese stock market, the possible effects of the contractual clauses of the share capital increase agreements executed by the four private equity funds were once again assessed, clauses which are customary in similar transactions and that were already examined within the financial statements as of 31 December 2022 with the legal consultants, accountants and statutory auditors.

Given the presence of clauses that provide for the possibility of exercising the withdrawal option upon the occurrence of events that are not under the full control of the Group's management as they also depend on exogenous factors, the Group identified a modified accounting approach as most appropriate compared to that already adopted in the consolidated financial statements closed on 31 December 2022, and consequently the amounts previously recorded in the group's equity were reclassified among financial debts. The original approach arose from the prevalence of the practice adopted by Chinese companies in accounting for capital increases preparatory to IPO and the effects of the repurchase options usually envisaged in similar circumstances, a practice endorsed and requested by the CSRC, the supervisory authority on Chinese stock markets.

Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 41 and 42 of IAS 8, the accounting recognition relating to the aforementioned capital increases was adjusted through the redetermination of the balances of the shareholders' equity and the net financial position at 31 December 2022 and consequently at 30 June 2023. The effects of this restatement are represented in the specific reconciliation table included in the explanatory notes and take the form of a reduction in shareholders' equity and in the net financial position of 13,2 million of euro.

Restated
Reclassified balance sheet 31/12/22 31/12/22 Var.
Fixed asset 165.786 165.786 0
Net working capital 200.536 200.536 0
Other receivables / payables ST (80.154) (80.154) 0
Net financial position 88.546 75.364 (13.182)
Long term liabilities 18.077 18.077 0
Total Net Equity 356.637 343.455 (13.182)
Net capital employed (PN-PFN) 268.092 268.092 0

However, it should be noted that the possibility of the exercise of these options by three of the four Chinese private equity funds represents an eventuality whose conditions have not yet occurred. The fourth fund, CITIC Securities Investment Co. Ltd, in fact already renounced the aforementioned option with effect from December 29, 2022, therefore the subscribed share of capital, equal to RMB 40 million, was not subjected to the reclassification described above. With reference to the other three funds, the conditions for exercise could actually occur if Penta Zhejiang were unable to complete the IPO process which had been started at the time. Conversely, they could dissolve in the event of listing or renunciation, allowing in this case the booking of the funds received within net equity as it was originally represented in accordance with Chinese practice in the financial statements released at the end of 2022 and in the quarterly report at 31 March 2023.

The manager in charge of preparing the corporate accounting records, Enrico Romagnoli, declares, pursuant to paragraph 2, article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law, that the accounting disclosures provided in this document correspond to the accounting records, books and entries.

Potential developments of the "Laser Cutting" business unit

Since 2022, the group undertook the preparatory activities for a possible IPO filing on a regulated market in Mainland China, functional to our ambitious growth objectives in the sector.

The results that are outlining in 2023 on Chinese territory are lower than expectations and, despite the excellent results recorded in Italy and on Western markets, the business unit exhibits overall insufficient results to be able to present a successful IPO with reference to current results. The listing project is therefore suspended while waiting for the countermeasures adopted in China to once again outline growth and profitability prospects capable of supporting listing aspirations. To avoid any possible doubt in this regard, the restatement of the net equity and financial debt balances of Penta Laser Zhejiang is not a consequence of the company's performance, but the mere implementation of a different accounting treatment of the capital increase closed in 2022.

War in Ukraine

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is causing great uncertainty and critical issues in international relations between all parties directly and indirectly involved in the conflict. The state of war on the territory of Ukraine and the harsh trade sanctions imposed on Russia and its allies continue to block trade relations in these areas.

Subsequent events

There was no significant event after the first six months.

Current outlook

The results of the first half of the year were in line with the guidance disclosed in May for the 2023 financial year, albeit with an operating result lower than that recorded in the first half of 2022, entirely due to the delay caused by the difficulties of the laser cutting sector activities in the Chinese area, net of which the six months results were better than those of the previous year and of the guidance, as well. The current macro-economic context is still positive for all the reference markets in which the Group operates, but it is made unstable by the persistence of the war conflict, the increase in interest rates and inflation, and has become complex in China due to the unfavorable general economic conditions. El.En., aware of its potential, as to consolidated revenues, confirms for the full year 2023 the forecast of a slight increase compared to 2022, as to income from operations, currently harmed by the performance achieved and expected in China, it expects to contain the delay in EBIT compared to 2022 in the same proportion registered in the first half of 2023.
