Equita ends 2022 fiscal year with €87 million in Net Revenues and Net Profits above €16 million. 1 Dividend proposal of €0.35 per share
Net Revenues from client business increases to €83 million (+5% vs 2021), thanks to the positive contribution of all business segments 2
Management confirms targets for business growth and diversification, discipline on costs, and shareholder remuneration set in the Equita 2024 business plan

2023 marks our 50th anniversary, a key milestone for an investment bank like Equita. Our culture of independence has defined our firm and has driven our client-centric approach, supporting investors, financial institutions, listed companies and entrepreneurs.
Milan, March 16th, 2023
Andrea Vismara, Chief Executive Officer at Equita, commented: "The results achieved in 2022 confirm Equita's ambitious projects: since our IPO in 2017, and thanks to the commitment of all our professionals, we have increased revenues from €54 million to €87 million, a rise of 61%, and net profits from €11 million to €16 million, a rise of 47%. We have also been able to reward our shareholders with a Total Shareholder Return above 70% to date. During the same period, we have significantly diversified the business, strengthened our role as a leading independent investment bank and paid out more than €54 million in dividends (or €1.18 per share). Shareholders' remuneration remains central to our strategy, as confirmed by the targets set in the 2022- 2024 business plan, and the proposal to submit to the next Shareholders' Meeting a dividend distribution of €0.35 per share, in line with the previous year, is clear evidence of our commitment".
"Last year was a very busy year also in terms of initiatives dedicated to sustainability: in 2022, after reaching carbon-neutrality and announcing the launch of our sustainable finance team aimed at supporting the needs of investors, corporates, entrepreneurs and institutions, we also established our non-profit organisation. Equita Foundation will institutionalise the sustainable and social initiatives of the Group. These include projects aimed at fostering talent, supporting local communities, promoting financial education, and spreading art and culture".
"2023 is a special year because it marks our 50th anniversary. This is an important milestone for a financial institution like Equita, which over time has distinguished itself as the leading independent investment bank in Italy and plays a key role for the entire financial industry".

The Board of Directors of Equita Group S.p.A. (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, "Equita" or the "Group") approved the draft financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of 31 December 2022.
Consolidated Net Revenues (divisional breakdown)
In FY'22 the Group recorded growth in Net Revenues linked to clients2 , from €79.0 million to €83.0 million (+5% year-on-year). This figure is the best full-year result in terms of revenues linked to clients since the IPO. The strong focus on business diversification and the market position achieved by Equita in Italy has allowed the Group to record growth in Net Revenues in FY'22, despite the difficult geopolitical and macroeconomic environment that has impacted capital markets worldwide. Including revenues from Directional Trading and Investment Portfolio, Consolidated Net Revenues reached €86.9 million in FY'22 (€90.4 million in FY'21, -4%).

Sales & Trading revenues net of commissions and interest expenses reached €21.7 million in FY'22 (€22.9 million in FY'21, -5%) while Client Driven Trading & Market Making 6 net revenues rose to €13.5 million (€11.5 million in FY'21, +18%), thanks to higher level of client trading activities in fixed income and Asian financial instruments. Directional Trading recorded €2.5 million in Net Revenues in FY'22, in line with the historical average but significantly lower than the performance of the previous year (€6.4 million in FY'21, -60%), driven by the comparison with an extraordinarily strong market performance in the first half of 2021. The Directional Trading performance recorded in FY'22 includes incomes from a €31 million fixed income portfolio built between July and September 2022, to be held to maturity, to profit from the market opportunity offered by corporate bonds.
In Q4'22, the Global Markets division recorded a year-on-year increase in net revenues from €8.2 million to €10.6 million (+29%) thanks to the positive performance of Client-Driven & Market Making activities and Directional Trading.
The Investment Banking division grew Net Revenues from €38.7 million in FY'21 to €41.3 million in FY'22 (+7%), boosted by the positive performance of M&A advisory – with a significant contribution from Equita K Finance – and Debt Advisory & Restructuring activities. This positive result in Net Revenues confirms the strong position of the Group in the Italian market despite difficult market circumstances. Equity Capital Markets transactions in Italy were down in terms of both number of deals and volumes, from 87 in FY'21 and €8.3 billion volume to 47 in FY'22 and €6.7 billion volume (-46% and -20% respectively). Debt Capital Markets recorded similar performance, with overall corporate issues declining from 68 in FY'21 and €42 billion of volume, to 39 in FY'22 and €24 billion volume (-43% and -42% respectively, considering corporate issues only). M&A in Italy suffered too, with the number of deals declining to 1,184 in FY'22 (1,214 in FY'21, -2%) and volumes to €80 billion (€100 billion in FY'21, -20%). 7
Despite the challenging market conditions, in the fourth quarter of 2022 Equita completed several highprofile mandates such as the accelerated bookbuilding of Interpump shares as sole bookrunner, and the translisting of Revo Insurance to Euronext Milan as co-listing agent. Equita was also financial advisor to: TWT in the sale of the group to Unidata; Italian Wine Brands with the acquisition of Barbanera and Fossalto, e-Novia with a private placement before the listing of the company on the EGM Pro market; and the shareholders of Sudoku in its sale to Keesing Italia.
In Q4'22 the Investment Banking division recorded €9.7 million Net Revenues (€14.8 million in Q4'21, -34%), with strong contribution from the M&A Advisory teams of Equita SIM and Equita K Finance. Performance yearon-year is affected by the comparison with a favourable Q4'21 where several capital markets transactions were closed in Italy: Equita, for instance, completed four IPOs and 3 bond issues.
The Alternative Asset Management division recorded €7.9 million in Net Revenues in FY'22 (+21% excluding performance fees, -28% including them). Assets under management reached €921 million as of 31 December 2022 (€1.1 billion as of 31 December 2021, -17%), highlighting a mix increasingly diversified toward proprietary, illiquid, and more profitable assets. Revenues linked to asset management fees – Portfolio Management, Private Debt and Private Equity, excluding performance fees – were up 9% year on year, from €6.0 million in FY'21 to €6.5 million in FY'22. Growth was driven by additional fees of the second private debt fund, Equita Private Debt Fund II, which closed its fundraising in June 2022 with €237 million in commitments, well-above the €200 million target initially announced) and the PIR alternative private equity fund launched in June 2021, Equita Smart Capital – ELTIF, which as of 31 December 2022 surpassed €61 million in commitments. The Investment Portfolio8 , equal to approximately €10.5 million as of 31 December 2022 contributed to the results of the Alternative Asset Management division with €1.3 million Net

Revenues in FY'22 (€0.5 million in FY'21). FY'22 figures include a significant capital gain realised in August 2022 following a divestment by the first private debt fund (Equita Private Debt Fund).
In Q4'22 the Alternative Asset Management division recorded €1.9 million in Net Revenues (€1.3 million in Q4'21, +51% excluding performance fees, -67% including them). Revenues linked to asset management fees reached €1.5 million, in line with the previous year (€1.5 million in Q4'21, -1%). The Investment Portfolio contributed €0.3 million in revenues (-€0.3 million in Q4'21).
The Equita Private Debt Fund II is expected to complete its first investment abroad this year, in Germany, alongside a leading pan-European private debt asset manager. The team is expected to complete the deployment of capital by the end of the first semester of 2023 and has already started marketing activities to launch its third fund.
The Research Team – which ranked again 1 st in the 2022 Institutional Investor survey for the quality of its Mid & Small Caps research and 2nd in the overall ranking – continued to support all business areas of the Group, assisting institutional investors with research reports and insights on more than 120 Italian companies, and 40 foreign listed companies. The team has also added several debt instruments to its coverage, building a significant presence in the fixed income domain and expanding to more fixed income issuers.

Personnel costs9,10 decreased slightly, from €42.7 million in FY'21 to €42.2 million in FY'22 (-1%), with Compensation/Revenue ratio at 48.6% (47.0% in FY'21). The number of professionals reached 188 as of 31 December 2022 (173 as of 31 December 2021). Other operating costs increased from €18.4 million in FY'21 to €19.4 million in FY'22 (+5%). Information Technology expenses were up 6% year-on-year, mainly driven by investments in upgrades on the Global Markets IT platform which improved client service. Trading fees increased by 8%, mainly driven by the increase in Client-Driven Trading activities on fixed income instruments.
10 Excludes the provisions for the cash-settlement of the incentive plan Equita Group 2020-2022 based on stock options and addressed to Top Management

9 Excludes compensation of Board of Directors and Statutory Auditors. Those items are included in Other operating costs.

Other costs were up 4%, from €9.2 million in FY'21 to €9.6 million in FY'22, due to the gradual return to inpresence client marketing activities such as roadshows and conferences. The Cost/Income ratio11 was 70.9% in FY'22, higher than the 67.7% recorded in FY'21 but significantly lower than the ratio of 2020 by more than 3% (74.1%). It is worth noting that in FY'21 the Cost/Income ratio benefited from the above historical average performance of Directional Trading and from the performance fees recorded by the Alternative Asset Management division.
Consolidated Profit Before Taxes10 was €25.3 million in FY'22 (€29.2 million in FY'21) and represents the second-best FY result since IPO in terms of pre-tax profitability. Consolidated Net Profit9 was €16.2 million in FY'22 (€21.5 million in FY'21).
The year-on-year difference between Consolidated Profit Before Taxes and Consolidated Net Profit was due to i) the normalisation of the tax rate to 28.1% in FY'22 compared to a lower-than-average 24.5% tax rate in FY'21 (the latter benefitted from, thanks to the consolidation of Equita K Finance as disclosed in previous press releases) and ii) the solid performance of Equita K Finance in 2022 compared to 2021, which had a significant impact on minorities (€2.0 million in FY'22 vs €0.6 million in FY'21).
The Group has recorded provisions on its P&L to allow – on a voluntary basis and for each beneficiary – the cash-settlement of the Equita Group 2020-2022 incentive plan based on stock options and addressed to Top Management. In May 2023 the LTIP will award 1.300.000 stock options assigned to beneficiaries in May 2020. Cash-settlement is allowed by the plan itself, as amended and subsequently approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 28 April 2022, and is aimed at reducing the dilution of the plan. The cash-settlement of the incentives is not considered as additional remuneration but a monetisation of an award already vested. The awarding of the stock options - expected to occur in the second quarter of 2023 - is very likely, considering that two of the three performance targets have already been achieved (Total Capital Ratio 2020-2022 above 15% in every year and Average Return on Tangible Equity 2020-2022 above 15%). The third target is Total Shareholder Return above 10% per year in the period 30 April 2020 – 30 April 2023. As of today, the return is well above the minimum threshold.
Consolidated Shareholders' Equity and Buyback Program
Consolidated Shareholders' Equity was €104.3 million as of 31 December 2022 and the Average Return on Tangible Equity (ROTE) was 29%. The capital strength of the Group was confirmed among the highest in the market, with an IFR ratio approximately 5 times the minimum requirements, pursuant to the EU 2033/19 Regulation (IFR).
The IFR ratio as of 31 December 2022 includes the capital requirements linked to the buyback program approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2022 and by the Bank of Italy on 12 July 2022. The buyback program entails a maximum amount of 1,000,000 ordinary shares and is due in October 2023. Excluding the impact of the buyback program, the IFR ratio is 5.5 times the minimum requirements.
In the third quarter of 2022 the Company launched the first tranche of the programme for a maximum amount of 300,000 ordinary shares. As of today, the Group has purchased 11,688 ordinary shares, equal to 0.02% of the share capital.
11 Ratio between Total Costs and Consolidated Net Revenues


Separate financial statements of Equita Group S.p.A.
The Board of Directors of the Company approved the separate financial statements of Equita Group S.p.A.. For the fiscal year 2022, the Company reported Net Income of €13.8 million, Operating costs of €4.1 million and Net Profits of €10.4 million.
Outlook
Expectations for 2023 are cautiously optimistic from a macroeconomic standpoint, thanks to the encouraging signals of recovery and the likely downward trend in inflation, despite the fear of a contagion in the banking industry at global level, following the difficulties of some financial institutions. In Italy, significant financial resources will be channeled into real economy with dedicated initiatives, including the Next Generation EU and the NPRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), with the aim of supporting the economic recovery.
In the first months of the year, management is seeing good performance in the Global Markets activities, led by proprietary trading on behalf of clients (Client Driven Trading & Market Making) and Directional Trading; such areas are more than compensating for the lower levels of brokerage activities from investors in the Italian stock market (January 2023 vs. January 2022: -20%; source: Assosim). With respect to Investment Banking, the pipeline of capital markets transactions is interesting, with some deals to potentially start their processes in the first semester of 2023, also supported by the regulatory changes put in place by the regulators and aimed at easing access to European capital markets. On the Alternative Asset Management side, fundraising for the Equita Smart Capital - ELTIF will continue and the will team will launch its third private debt fund; in parallel, the team is also expected to announce a new asset class by the end of the first semester of 2023.
The Group's economic, financial and operating results of 2023 are likely to be affected by financial market performance and by the overall situation of the macroeconomic Italian environment. Equita will continue to focus on product and service diversification in all business areas, with the goal of continuing its growth path and the integration of sustainability within the business model, as announced by the management with the Equita 2024 business plan announced last year.
Equita will also continue to focus on sustainability by renewing its commitment to support the initiatives sponsored by the Equita Foundation.
Dividend proposal
The Board of Directors of the Company will submit the approval of financial statements for the fiscal year 2022 and the distribution of a dividend per share of €0.35 to the forthcoming Shareholders' Meeting. The proposal is in line with the dividend per share paid out in 2022 and represents a payout of 102% of Consolidated Net Profits 20229 (108% of Consolidated Net Profits 2022, including the cash settlement for the incentive plan Equita Group 2020-2022 based on stock options and address to top management).
The dividend – which represents a dividend yield of c. 9% today12 – will be paid out as follows:
▪ First tranche – equal to €0.20 per share (coupon no. 8) as distribution of net profits – paid on 22 May 2023 (payment date) with coupon tender date on 24 May 2023 (ex-dividend date) and record date on 23 May 2023 (record date).
12 As of March 16, 2023.


▪ Second tranche – equal to €0.15 per share (coupon no. 9) as distribution of net profits and reserves – paid on 22 November 2023 (payment date) with coupon tender date on 20 November 2023 (ex-dividend date) and record date on 21 November 2023 (record date).
The decision to split the dividend into two tranches aims to give more stability to Equita's share performance and offers investors staggered cash flows instead of concentrated payments at one single point of the year.
Corporate governance
On 22 February 2023, the Board of Directors assessed its compliance with the requirements applicable to its composition as a board and the independence requirements on the Directors Paolo Colonna, Silvia Demartini, Michela Zeme and Marzio Perrelli pursuant to article 148 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) and article 2, recommendation 7, of the New Corporate Governance Code, as well as the requirements set forth by the Board of Directors.13 Following the review, the Company confirms that the majority of the Board of Directors' members are independent (four out of seven Directors).
The Board of Directors of the Company also notifies that on 6 February 2023 the Board of Statutory Auditors ensured that the requirements for its offices continued to be met and ascertained the independence of each of its members, including according to the criteria of the Italian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies. It also completed the self-evaluation process of the operation of the body itself.
According to paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law, the Executive appointed to draft corporate accounts, Stefania Milanesi, stated that the accounting information herein included tallies with the company's documentary evidence, ledgers and accounts.
