Consolidated operating and net results

ADJ. EBITDA

The Group's adjusted EBITDA (excluding listing expenses and related costs, Management Incentive Plan and other minor non-recurring events) for the Relevant Period amounted to approximately €83.4 million, increased by approximately 20.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 which amounted to approximately €69.0 million, demonstrating the increase in profitability of our operating performance.

This strong performance is due to three main factors:

Commercial: a longer waiting list due to the high order backlog, reflecting higher pricing power.
Strategic positioning: a larger presence in the most profitable segment, such as Madeto-measure
Industrial: economy of scale in purchasing and more efficient absorption of fixed costs.

Net Profit

The Group's profit for the period increased by approximately 36.8% from approximately €29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €40.9 million for the Relevant Period mainly due to the increase in volumes and the increase in margin.

² Including ancillary activities, FSD, Wally sail and pre-owned

This 7.2% margin represents an increase of 130 basis points when compared to the 5.9% for the 1H 2022.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share was € 0.12 as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 0.10 as of June 30, 2022.

Earnings per share were calculated as the ratio of net profit for the period attributable to shareholders of the Company to the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year and coincides with the earnings per share diluted due to the absence of partially dilutive instruments.

Consolidated Balance Sheet Items Overview

Consolidated Net Financial Position

The Net financial position was €320 million of net cash from €365 million of net cash as of 31 December 2022. The Group has demonstrated its capability to continue to generate cash despite the investments it has done and the ca €20 million dividend it has paid to shareholders.

Capex

The Capex for the period of H1 2023 was €84.5 million and it was dedicated to the innovation of the product portfolio and the expansion of the company's production capacity. Most of the capex is related to the acquisition of the Ravenna shipyard.

Significant events occurred during the first half of 2023

The Group held its first Capital Markets Day in Milan on March 21, 2023 providing the mid term outlook.

The Group reached an agreement with Rosetti Marino S.p.A. for the acquisition of Cantiere San Vitale, in Ravenna of over 70,000 square meters.

In April, the Group made a big step forward in respect of the project in the former Belleli Yard port area in Taranto of over 220,000 square meters, where an industrial facility will be developed for the construction of plugs and molds, as well as research center for advanced materials. All the public administrations involved approved the remediation and industrial development project.

On June 27, 2023, the Company successfully completed the first ever dual listing between Euronext Milan and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Significant events occurred after June 30, 2023

On July 25, 2023, it has been communicated that the partial exercise of approximately 2.8% of the over-allotment option granted by the selling shareholder, FIH, in the context of the listing of the shares of the Company on the Euronext Milan.

There was no other event that had a significant impact on the Group's operation, financial and trading prospects since the end of the Reporting Period, and up to the date of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which the Board is aware of.

Outlook

The global luxury yacht industry has continued to grow solidly throughout 2021 and 2022, fostered by the growth of the VHNWI and UHNWI clientele in terms of both number and wealth. In this context, and as proved by its ability to outperform the underlying luxury yacht market in the past, the Group believes it is ideally positioned to continue to capture market growth, capitalizing on its unique and effective business model, strong heritage of iconic brands, unparalleled focus on product excellence and innovation, tailored approach for cultivating an exclusive community of luxury customers and its distinctive sales model. To continue building on the expected trends of the global luxury yacht industry, enhancing its value proposition and strengthening its overall resilience, the Group's future plans are based on the following strategic pillars:

The Group will enhance and expand its product offering and product mix ahead of evolving market trends and customer expectations, with the aim to consolidate its market leadership position in both composite and made-to-measure segments, focusing on the segments with the highest growth potential and marginality.
The Group will expand its made-to-measure offering into larger alloy yachts, developing new alloy-hulled super yacht models under its iconic Riva, Wally, Pershing, and Custom Line brands.
The Group will also broaden both its yacht brokerage, chartering and management services and its after- sales and refitting services, extend its brand extension and licensing activities and further expand into the security and patrolling market.
Finally, the Group will keep investing in the internalization of high value-added activities to support its future growth and product portfolio expansion.

The Group's results are not subject to seasonality, except for the concentration of deliveries in the northern summer season (May-August) and, to a lesser extent, in the southern summer season (November-January), especially for composite yachts.
