Cavriago (RE), March 13, 2020

The Board of Directors of Landi Renzo, chaired by Stefano Landi, today approved the draft Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2019. Despite the presence of strong international competitors, the results achieved were positive and in line with management's forecasts both in terms of revenues and net result.

Compared to the same period of the previous year, the Landi Renzo Group reported a slight growth of revenues and a sharp increase in Group's net result (€5,982 thousand compared to €4,533 thousand in 2018). Landi Renzo, which aims at keeping a central role in the sustainable mobility of the future, also forged ahead its R&D activities regarding several activities, in addition to launching new initiatives with international partners.

"The significant results achieved in 2019 as well, in a difficult economic environment and at a time of profound transformation of the automotive industry, are further proof of the excellent work done by our top managers and entire team of professionals, to whom I extend my thanks. We continue to be recognised by our stakeholders as an innovative group and a strategic partner in the development of gas mobility," commented Stefano Landi, Chairman of Landi Renzo S.p.A.

Cristiano Musi, Chief Executive Officer of Landi Renzo S.p.A., commented: "In a challenging, constantly evolving market environment, as the automotive sector becomes increasingly dominated by environmentally friendly approaches and compliance with very stringent regulations, with a significant impact on all industry operators, we ended the year with a rise in net profit, as well as in the other main economic indicators. We are garnering increasing recognition at the international level as a key player in gas mobility, both from OEMs, with regard to the development of their green lines (in the passenger car and mid-heavy duty segment), and in the After Market channel, and we have struck our first partnerships in the hydrogen sector. In the first few months of this year we also signed important agreements with Italian and international operators for the development of gas mobility. In particular, we entered into agreements with Snam4Mobility, to help develop CNG (compressed natural gas) powered sustainable mobility in Italy, and with the main Egyptian gas distribution companies for the development of methane

gas mobility in Egypt, in which our joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. is also involved. Our investee, which operates in the natural gas compression and biomethane sector, for both transport and industrial use, is investing in the development of hydrogen-based solutions and ended 2019 with a sharp improvement in results on previous years, laying the foundation for growth. The Group has also long been committed to developing innovative solutions for hydrogen-based mobility, a technology in which we believe strongly, above all where applied to heavy duty and other transport sectors, since it is the cleanest energy solution currently available to us."

Consolidated Financial Highlights at December 31, 2019

The Landi Renzo Group's revenues amounted to €191,852 thousand, up 2% compared to the same period of the previous year (€188,079 thousand). This result is significant in light of the impact on the third quarter of the year of the decline in orders in the OEM sales channel following the phase-out of Euro 6 engines, in view of the upcoming entry into force of the new emissions limits imposed by the European Community, and the transition to Euro6d-temp gas engines, the sales of which began only at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. Despite this, revenues of the OEM channel were stable compared to the previous year (+0.7%) and accounted for 38.5% of total revenues. Revenues from sales on the After Market channel increased compared to the previous year (+2.8%), with a 61.5% ratio to total revenues.

With regard to the geographical breakdown of revenues, in 2019 81.6% of the Group's consolidated revenues were generated abroad (82.3% at December 31, 2018), 43% in Europe and 38.6% outside Europe, confirming once again the strong international dimension of the Group.

The breakdown of revenues by geographical area is as follows:

Total revenues 191,852 100.0% 188,079 100.0% 3,773 2.0%
  • Italy accounted for 18.4% of total revenues, up 5.8% in absolute terms (€35,213 thousand). Sales on the Italian market increased by €1,916 thousand compared to the previous year, thanks to higher sales volumes on the After Market channel and the rise of registrations concerning bi-fuel vehicles which, according to data of the association of foreign carmakers operating in Italy (UNRAE), accounted for 9.1% of total registered vehicles (vs 8.5% in the previous year).
  • The rest of Europe reported an increase in revenues by €4,632 thousand (+5.9%), mainly as a result of the increased OEM channel sales to several leading car manufacturers which, within the development of their green offering, are focusing on bi-fuel engines, thus confirming the Landi Renzo Group as their strategic partner.
  • Sales in America for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to €36,272 thousand, in line with the same period of the previous year (€37,082 thousand). During the second half of the year the

sales spread reported in the first six months of 2019, associated with the difficulties on the Brazilian market, was entirely offset.

  • The markets in Asia and the Rest of the World decreased by 4.9% (or €1,965 thousand) compared to 2018. During the fourth quarter, the decline reported in the first nine months of 2019 was partly offset.

At December 31, 2019, adjusted EBITDA amounted to €26,253 thousand (13.7% of revenues), compared to €25,237 thousand for the same period of the previous year, thus confirming the validity and effectiveness of the measures taken by the management within the processes of reorganisation and containment of costs, both fixed and variable. Non-recurring costs at December 31, 2019, amounting to €1,545 thousand and mostly relating to strategic advisory, reported a sharp decline compared to the same period of the previous year (€3,725 thousand).

EBITDA was positive at €24,708 thousand (12.9% of revenues), up to 14.9% compared to the previous year (€21,512 thousand).

EBIT for the reporting period stood at €12,942 thousand (€11,269 thousand at December 31, 2018), after amortization, depreciation and impairment losses amounting to €11,766 thousand (€10,243 thousand at December 31, 2018). The increase in amortization, depreciation and impairment losses was mainly attributable to the application of IFRS 16 – Leases.

Total financial expenses (interest received, interest paid and exchange gains/losses) amounted to €4,713 thousand, down compared to the same period of 2018 (€5,493 thousand), and included €436 thousand nonrecurring charges arising from the recognition in profit or loss of the residual transaction costs incurred for signing the Optimisation agreement.

EBT was positive at €8,514 thousand at December 31, 2019 (€4,185 thousand at December 31, 2018), doubling the 2018 figure, also thanks to the improved results of the investees.

The Net Profit for the Group and minority interests at December 31, 2019 was €5,982 thousand, after taxes of €2,532 thousand, compared to a net profit for the Group and minority interests amounting to €4,533 thousand at December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2019, Net Financial Debt totalled €61,767 thousand, of which €6,527 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 – Leases, and €30 thousand due to the fair value measurement of financial derivatives subscribed during the year to cover the new pool loan. Excluding the effects arising from the application of IFRS 16 – Leases and net of the fair value of derivative contracts, Net Financial Debt at December 31, 2019 would have been €55,210 thousand, after €8,664 thousand investments, up by €2,368 thousand compared to 2018 (€52,872 thousand).

Performance of the Gas Distribution and Compressed Natural Gas operating business

In 2017, the Gas Distribution and Compressed Natural Gas business was subject to a strategic business combination agreement with Clean Energy Fuels Corp aimed at creating the number-two group in the sector worldwide by turnover.

The business combination was implemented through the formation of a NewCo, SAFE & CEC S.r.l., to which 100% of SAFE S.p.A.'s share capital was then contributed by Landi Group and 100% of Clean Energy Compressor Ltd (now called IMW Industries Ltd) by Clean Energy Fuels Corp. Due to the contractually established governance system — which reflects a joint control arrangement between the two shareholders

March 13, 2020

— the Group's equity interest has been classified as a joint venture for the purposes of international accounting standards (IFRS 11) and therefore has been consolidated using the equity method.

In 2019, the results of the Gas Distribution and Compressed Natural Gas business significantly improved compared to the same period of the previous year, with consolidated net sales of €73,363 thousand (+24% compared to December 31, 2018), adjusted EBITDA at €6,099 thousand (€4,005 thousand at December 31, 2018) and a profit after taxes of €181 thousand (compared to a €3,716 thousand loss for the same period of the previous year).

Activities undertaken by the management and aimed at reorganising the Group's operations allowed cost reduction objectives to be achieved, which resulted in improved margins and a back to profit.

In addition, in 2019 SAFE S.p.A., a subsidiary of SAFE&CEC S.r.l., signed a contract with ENI S.p.A. to supply and maintain 20 gas-distribution systems for use in refuelling stations within the ENI network servicing both cars and heavy vehicles. Under this five-year partnership agreement, SAFE S.p.A. will be responsible for supplying and installing the asset (i.e., equipment including compressor, driver, dispenser, control and storage system) in the first three years, whereas in the subsequent two years it will be providing the relating maintenance services.

Moreover, in February 2020 SAFE&CEC S.r.l. signed an agreement with the main gas-distribution companies to support the growth of the Egyptian natural gas distribution network.

Landi Renzo S.p.A. (Parent Company): Financial Highlights at December 31, 2019

Landi Renzo S.p.A. reported revenues from sales and services for €139,730 thousand compared to €135,987 thousand in 2018, up by €3,743 thousand (+2.8%).

EBITDA was positive at €16,681 thousand, compared to €11,894 thousand in 2018. EBIT totalled €7,729 thousand, impacted by amortization, depreciation and impairment losses amounting to €8,952 thousand overall, of which €4,365 thousand referring to intangible assets, €2,817 thousand to tangible assets, and €1,770 thousand for right-of-use assets.

Net financial debt totalled €66,675 thousand at year-end 2019 (€61,025 thousand net of the effects of IFRS 16 – Leases and of the fair value of derivative contracts), compared to a net financial debt of €54,538 thousand at December 31, 2018. Workforce slightly increased to 306 staff (300 at December 31, 2018).

Significant Events after December 31, 2019

The following events occurred after December 31, 2019 and up to today's date:

  • On February 2, 2020, the Landi Renzo Group and Snam4Mobility, a subsidiary of Snam and major infrastructure operator in the natural gas and biomethane transport sector, signed a partnership agreement to support development of CNG (compressed natural gas) powered sustainability mobility in Italy. Landi Renzo will be responsible for the conversion to natural gas of automotive models developed together with Snam4Mobility as best suited to support the spread of CNG in the mobility sector;
  • On February 15, 2020, the Landi Renzo Group signed an agreement with the main Egyptian gas distribution companies for the joint development of a pilot project for the manufacture, assembly and sale of systems and components for methane vehicles, using an already existing production facility. The agreement also provides for the promotion of Landi's technology for diesel dual fuel conversions of minibuses and buses and for support for the 0-km conversion of the vehicles of the major automotive manufacturers, their importers and fleet managers present in Egypt. During the same period, SAFE&CEC S.r.l., an investee of Landi Renzo that is a leading designer and manufacturer of methane and biomethane distribution equipment, signed an agreement to support the growth of the natural gas distribution network in Egypt;
  • following the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Group launched initiatives aimed at protecting its workers, both in Italy and abroad, and at ensuring the continuity of production, including through an analysis of the potential critical issues in the strategic component supply chain and order

backlog. The top management is monitoring the situation to promptly identify changes in the market, including of a sudden nature, and to make the corrections required to reduce the impacts, including economic ones, of the epidemic.

Business outlook

The incidence of the coronavirus epidemic, which has affected much of the economic system at the global level, does not currently permit us to provide a considered estimate of the outlook for the Landi Renzo Group's operations in the current year. We reserve the right to announce our expectations for business performance in 2020 at a later date, as soon as it becomes possible to have a clearer picture of the course of the epidemic — hopefully concurrently with the announcement of Q1 2020 operating and financial results.
