Paolo Franchetti, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Franchetti S.p.A.: "Almost a year after the listing on the Italian Stock Exchange, we are pleased to communicate results that keep improving thus strengthening the foundations of Group in order to generate further future value. The markets linked to the maintenance of large road infrastructures, both Italian and international, in the first six months of 2023 registered increasingly higher business levels compared to previous years, thanks also to the resources allocated by the PNRR in Italy and

by the PAC ("Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento", Growth Acceleration Program) in Brazil which generated significant leverage in the maintenance of large infrastructures; a lever whose effects will continue for a long time to come. This scenario has highlighted the specific know-how that our Group possesses, guaranteeing our counterparts a key service providing predictive analysis and maintenance.

At a commercial level, the Group mainly works in 3 markets: Italian, Brazilian and North American. Although Italy is the country of reference for the Group's business, also in light of the recent acquisition made in March of the newly established GALLO TECHNICS, we also have ambitious plans for the Brazilian and American subsidiaries. These countries have in fact announced huge public and private investments aimed at the infrastructure sector, an area in which Franchetti S.p.A. can play a leading role. In particular, in Brazil, where we already boast a consolidated network with public and private managers of roads, motorways and railways, we also aim to grow in railway concessions.

We continue to tenaciously pursue our goals, ready to put our know-how at the service of governments and public and private institutions. Our Group's mission is to make global infrastructure assets more sustainable and efficient, while at the same time helping institutions to better direct financial resources for the future."

Income statement

Revenues from sales and services amounted to Euro 2,282,242, up by 55.2% compared to Euro 1,470,534 in the first half of 2022.

Group backlog and outlook

Today the Board of Directors verified and updated the value of the order backlog with visibility to 2025 equal to Euro 24.2 million, elaborated on the basis of the Group's management data.

As regards the performance of the Group, following the period under review ending on 30 June 2023, the positive trend of acquiring new contracts is confirmed, always in the field of inspections and maintenance planning of road and railway bridges. The evolution of the Group's turnover is not constant and linear; therefore, it does not follow an ordinary monthly payment, but is instead susceptible to and strictly dependent on the invoicing authorization devices issued by the bodies themselves. The concentration and realization of turnover generally occurs in the last quarter of the calendar year.
