The above-mentioned results are unaudited.

The Q1 2020 P&L posts total revenues around EUR 15.8M, showing a +19% organic increase versus the same period of 2019. As per the results by business line, the SMS line – dynamic, volatile and highly price-oriented by nature – posted the biggest top-line growth of 1.4M (+15%) versus Q1 2019 at ca. EUR 10.9M consolidated sales, particularly because of Agile Telecom's volume growth. The Email line, steadier and consolidated by nature within the Group, showed a +21% increase, with Q1 2020 revenues of EUR 3.8M, with a very positive contribution from the BEE editor, growing from EUR 0.5 to 0.9M (+79%), confirming the increasing favor among marketers both in the US and internationally. The Predictive Marketing line also posted excellent results, thanks to the performance of Datatrics B.V. and the domestic subsidiary Datatrics S.r.l., contributing revenues for EUR 0.8M, doubled over the same period of 2019 and accounting for 5% of total Group sales. Foreign revenues weigh 51% of the total consolidated revenues.

Consolidated EBITDA exceeded EUR 0.5M in Q1 2020, growing by +15% versus Q1 2019. Q1 2020 margins, at both group and business unit level, are deeply affected by the impact of the global sanitary emergency due to Covid-19 and related economic slow-down. In particular, the acquisition process of new mid-large clients may slow down, whereas clients in specific sectors, hardly hit by the crisis such as Travel, Retail and Hospitality, have paused, deferred or proposed partial renegotiations of their own investments. In any case, as already disclosed, the Group chose not to suspend or defer the planned strategic projects, and consequently the incidence of certain costs such as Sales&Marketing and R&D is material, where the biggest investments are currently concentrated. EBITDA and EBT show a seasonal effect, because as a rule costs and investments are evenly accounted for during the year, whereas acquired subscription fees release their positive effect in the course of the year with an increasing impact on sales and margins. As a result, Q1 margins are not representative of the following quarters and the full year.

The consolidated Net Financial Position as of 31 March 2020 is negative (for net cash) and amounts to EUR 3M, increasing versus the previously recorded (net cash) amount of EUR 2.4M as of 31 December 2019. The variation is positively influenced by the operating cash flow. Figurative debt from IFRS 16's first-time adoption amounts to EUR 4.4M.

Matteo Monfredini, Chairman and founder of MailUp Group, stated: "We are very satisfied to be able to enrich our path of transparency and communication with the financial community, starting today to disclose quarterly results by Business Unit. I wish to thank all our employees, particularly the Administration, Finance and Control people for this new important milestone."

Nazzareno Gorni, CEO and founder of MailUp Group, stated: "Notwithstanding the inevitable impact of the Covid-19 - related crisis, as shown on different levels for the different Business Units, we are confident of our strategic decision to confirm our planned investments, both in terms of enlarging our offer portfolio and for S&M in view of consolidating our internationalization strategy. This will allow us to face the challenging months ahead and to come out of the emergency prepared for the future."

Finally, the Board of Directors resolved to launch the buy-back program, according to the Shareholders' Meeting decision of 23 April, 2020, which will consequently be effective from 12 May, 2020 until 23 October 2021 in compliance to applicable laws and regulations.
