Trento, 30 September 2024

The Board of Directors of Gpi S.p.A. (GPI:IM), a leading company in information systems and services for health and social care, listed in the Tech Leaders segment of the Euronext Milan market, today approved the consolidated half-year financial report as at 30 June 2024, prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS.

¹ As a result of the application of IFRS 5 following the sale of Argentea S.r.l., finalised on 20 March 2024, EBITDA and Revenues for the first half of 2023 are lower than those reported in the financial statements published on 29 September 2023. The income statements for H1 2024 and H1 2023 therefore present figures adjusted for Argentea's results. The figures shown therefore refer exclusively to the ongoing operations of the company's business.

Net profit also changed as a result of the final accounting allocation of the price paid for the Tesi Group (H1 2023) and the Evolucare Group (H1 2024), which took place within the year of the acquisition as required by the relevant accounting standards. Having allocated part of it to software, the 2023 financial statements were revised to take this into account, with the consequent depreciation and amortisation. The reference to the 'restated' financial statements takes these considerations into account.

Fausto Manzana, CEO of the Gpi Group, remarked: "In the first half of 2024 Gpi recorded significant growth in revenues and EBITDA, confirming the validity of its strategic path that is increasingly focused on software solutions for the transformation of healthcare globally. The markets in which we operate clearly show the need to structurally integrate digital technologies into healthcare models: we are ready to respond to this challenge with our technological solutions and artificial intelligence algorithms that are increasingly being applied in clinical practice. The numbers in this half-yearly report are cause for great satisfaction, and, combined with the divestiture of Argentea, allow us to allocate part of the capital gain realised to an extraordinary dividend. This is the first time in our history as a listed company that we are distributing EUR 0.85 per share in a year, a tangible sign of our commitment to generate value for our shareholders. In this context we are working on the definition of the new industrial plan, which will be based on innovation and the international growth of the Software SBA, thus guaranteeing the continuous evolution of the Group

in line with the needs of the sector and the growth trends of Digital Health". The Gpi Group's growth path is based on the digital transformation of healthcare in all the markets in which

it operates, with particular emphasis on the European market. The Software SBA, the strategic area delivering the highest margin, is the main instrument of this strategy, which also includes the integration of recently acquired companies to maximise synergies and strengthen the Group's competitive position in an increasingly international market.

This strategic orientation led to the divestiture of Argentea S.r.l., which was finalised and duly announced on 20 March 2024. This transaction has so far been worth a cash consideration of € 99 million, with an earn-out clause of € 6 million, and a capital gain, excluding the earn-out, of approximately € 83 million.

The strengthening of the Company's equity position, which has reached a level of greater stability and financial solidity, has led the Board of Directors to approve the proposal to distribute an extraordinary dividend; a decision that testifies to the management's confidence in the Company's ability to maintain a sustainable financial profile over the long term. The resolution of the Board of Directors will be submitted to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, convened in a single call on 15 November 2024. The proposal provides for the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of € 0.35 p.a., gross of withholdings, for each of the 28,906,881 outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares held at the record date. The total estimated amount is approximately € 10.1 million.

For FY 2024, consolidated revenues are expected to be higher than of € 500 million, consolidated EBITDA in approximately of € 100 million and net financial debt towards financial institutions, which excludes debt related to the acquisition of minority stakes of M&A transactions, which allows full compliance with the existing financial covenants.

MAIN CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AT 30 June 2024

In the first half of 2024, Gpi reported consolidated revenues of € 236.4 million, an increase of € 50.6 million (€ 185.8 million in H1 23 restated¹ , +27.2% - of which 12.1% organic and 15.2% from external lines).

Consolidated EBITDA reached € 40.7 million, an increase of € 17.6 million (€ 23.1 million in H1 23 restated¹ , +76%). The more than proportional growth in EBITDA is the effect of the increased weight of the Software SBA and, in particular, its more profitable solutions (Blood, LIS, Pathology, Imaging, Critical Care).

REVENUE BY STRATEGIC BUSINESS AREA (SBA)

Gpi has developed an integrated and comprehensive offer capable of responding to the needs of numerous customers in the complex and crucial healthcare sector. Thanks to the composable digital care approach, it offers modular and flexible solutions to support the sustainability of healthcare. Gpi's activities are organised in Strategic Business Areas (SBAs), which work closely with public and private clients, ensuring targeted and highly specialised support.

The Software SBA (58.2% of total revenues, 44.0% in 2023) is the area that makes most use of technology drivers that support organisational, clinical and diagnostic processes in healthcare, thus contributing to greater efficiency. Revenues amounted to € 137.7 million, a growth of € 55.9 million (+68.3% compared to H1 2023), of which organic € 27.7 million (+33.9% compared to 30 June 2023).

The Care SBA (34.0% of total revenues) recorded € 80.4 million in revenues compared to € 83.1 million in H1 23 (44.7% of the total). The contraction follows the trend of previous half-years and is due to lower demand for services related to the pandemic period and the closure of some unprofitable contracts. Almost 50% of the Italian population turn to Gpi for their needs to contact healthcare facilities and book services.

The Automation and ICT SBAs (7.8% of total revenues) recorded total revenues of about € 18.3 million, a decrease compared to € 20.9 million in H1 23. The contraction is due to the new Italian incentive system. 'Transition 5.0' and 'ZES' (Special Economic Zone), activated in the second half of 2024, which caused a slowdown in retail orders in the first half of the year. The Italian market is expected to recover in the second half of 2024 and realign to the growth trend in 2025.

REVENUE BY GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

Overseas revenues accounted for over 22% of total revenues, an increase of almost 7 percentage points compared to the first half of 2023 restated¹ . Both organic growth, with new contracts won in international markets, and the acquisitions of Tesi and Evolucare played an important role.

In EUR thousands	30 June 2024	%	30 June 2023	%

ADJUSTED REVENUE

Adjusted revenue reflects the value of total revenue net of the amounts attributable to the principal companies in temporary groupings. In the first half of 2024, adjusted revenue amounted to € 222.6 mln, 28.3% on € 173.5 mln in H1 23.

EBITDA

The gross operating profit came to € 40.7 million (H1 23 restated¹ : 23.1 million), with a considerable growth of 76.0%, driven by the increased weight and excellent results of the Software SBA. The EBITDA margin was therefore 17.2% (H1 23 restated¹ , 12.4%), an improvement of almost 5 percentage points. EBITDA includes € 3.2 million of staff costs recognised in connection with the Evolucare acquisition, which, in accordance with IAS 19, constitute management incentives, on the basis of which the minority interests in Evolucare will be valued in 2028. Excluding these costs, EBITDA would have amounted to some € 44 million.

The EBITDA margin on adjusted revenue was 18.3% (13.3% in H1 23 restated¹ ). It should be noted that the profitability of the main SBAs is subject to typical seasonality. This phenomenon is linked to the spending

dynamics of the Italian public administration, which tends to concentrate the allocation of resources towards the end of the year. As a result, the second half of the year is generally more favourable than the first.

EBIT

The operating result increased significantly to € 7.8 million (€ 3.7 million in restated¹ H1 23), mainly due to the contribution of Evolucare.

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS

Financial operations as a percentage of total revenues amounted to 1.3% (4.0% in H1 23 restated¹ ). The improvement is due to an increase in financial income, due to a reduction in debt resulting from the purchase of the minority interests in the Tesi Group.

NET INCOME

The net income amounted approximately to € 85.8 million. The net income of continuing operations amounted to € 2.9 million, an increase compared to the first half of 2023.

NET INVESTED CAPITAL

Net Working Capital increased by approximately € 26.0 million compared to the end of the previous year, due to inventories of approximately € 2.9 million, an increase in trade receivables of € 2.5 million, assets from customers of € 22.3 million, and an increase in trade payables, invoices to be received, and liabilities from contracts with customers totalling € 1.8 million.

Fixed assets increased by approximately € 1.2 million, due to investments in tangible and intangible assets, mainly in research and development and mainly related to the Software SBA.

As a result of these changes, net invested capital as at 30 June 2024 amounted to approximately € 595.7 million, an increase of 1 million compared to 31 December 2023.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Shareholders' equity amounted to € 298.2 million. The increase compared to the figure posted at the end of 2023 is mainly impacted by the combined effect of increased period profit and by the distribution of dividends (€ 14.4 million) in May 2024.

NET FINANCIAL DEBT (NFD)

Net financial debt (NFD) was € 297.5 million as at 30 June 2024, a decrease compared with the € 364.9 million posted at the end of financial year 2023 restated¹ .

EMPLOYEES

As at 30 June 2024, the Group had a total of 7,841 employees, almost entirely employed by Gpi S.p.A. and its Italian subsidiaries (91% of the total) and a slight increase compared to 31 December 2023 (+2.70%).

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

• 100% of Argentea S.r.l. sold to Zucchetti Hospitality S.r.l. for a consideration of approximately € 99 million, based on an equity value of Argentea of about € 105 million. An earn-out clause is provided for, whereby the buyer undertakes to pay Gpi S.p.A. an additional amount of € 6 million in 2025, on the sole condition that Argentea S.r.l.'s FY 2024 EBITDA, to be calculated in continuity with previous management criteria, is at least equal to that of FY 2023. This transaction has, to date, been worth a capital gain, excluding the earn-out, of around € 83 million.
• The new Board of Directors has been appointed as 10 members for the three-year period 2024-2026, specifically: Luca D'Agnese (Chairman), Federica Fiamingo (Deputy Chairwoman), Fausto Manzana (Chief Executive Officer), Francesca Baldi*, Barbara Giacomoni*, Dario Manzana, Sara Manzana, Sergio Manzana, Alessandro Rosponi* and Mario Vitale*. || *Independent director.
• In addition to the numerous contracts signed under the Consip framework agreements, the following tenders of greatest interest, already communicated, are highlighted:

• tender for the implementation of the integrated transfusion information system of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region: a new customer Region that joins the Group's existing Regions (Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto, Umbria, Lazio, Apulia, Calabria, Sicily) and the many other Italian customers utilizing innovative solutions dedicated to the blood supply chain;

• tender for the management of booking, acceptance and user support services of Azienda ULSS 3 Serenissima (Venice), significant in terms of revenue and duration;

• new contracts abroad in the technologically advanced product areas of the Automation SBA and the Software SBA, which not only consolidate the presence in numerous countries, but also conquer new geographic areas (Finland, Iceland, Martinique) and add new orders worth more than € 15 million to the existing portfolio in the first half of 2024.

OUTLOOK

Gpi is now an undisputed player on the Italian Digital Health scene, with an increasingly strong global presence. Our wide range of products and solutions, characterised by high quality and effectiveness, allows us to cover all areas of the healthcare sector.

2024 represents a crucial year for our growth. We are engaged in an ambitious consolidation process that will allow us to define a new industrial plan, in line with our long-term vision. The aim is to create a unified and cohesive organisation, capable of making the most of synergies between the Group's different international entities.

Currently, Gpi is a complex ecosystem, consisting of several legal entities operating in specific local markets. We are working to develop an organisational model that fosters deep global integration, optimising resources and maximising business opportunities.

Italy, our home country, is a strategic but also a particularly complex market. The Consip tendering process generated a significant increase in activities, requiring internal reorganisation to ensure long-term sustainability. Despite the challenges, we are firmly convinced that sustainability will be the key factor in determining the future of the National Health Service.

To meet these challenges, Gpi is investing in cutting-edge technologies and new business models. The adoption of artificial intelligence tools and the implementation of chronic condition management solutions allow us to increase productivity and improve the quality of healthcare.

The results so far are very positive and confirm that we are on the right track. The growth in revenue and the increase in EBITDA, which is expected to be of particular interest throughout FY 2024, are a clear indication of the robustness of our business model and our future prospects.

Gpi is undergoing a major transformation, with the aim of strengthening its position in the Digital Health sector globally. With a more efficient organisation and an increasingly specialised product and service offering with a constant focus on innovation, we are ready to face the challenges of the future and seize the new opportunities that will arise.

Today's Board of Directors also resolved to call, in a single call, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting for this coming 15 November, at the Company's offices located in Trento, at no. 7 Viale A. Olivetti. The shareholders will be called to resolve on the following matters:

  • EUR 2,068,317 of the "Retained earnings reserve"
