PRESS RELEASE
Milan, 13 November 2020 – The Board of Directors of Openjobmetis S.p.A. (Borsa Italiana: OJM), one of the leading Employment Agencies, listed on the STAR segment of the Stock Market - operated by Borsa Italiana, approved the Additional Financial Information as at 30 September 2020.
Managing Director Rosario Rasizza commented: "The first nine months of 2020 were marked by a different trend in revenue. The first quarter, which began above the previous year, basically ended in line with 2019 due to the early impacts of Covid 19 that started at the beginning of March. During the second quarter, there was the most significant drop in revenue. Revenue was down in April by 43% compared to the same month of 2019 following the lockdown. Nevertheless, as early as May and June marked signs of recovery compared to the previous months were seen, amounting to +39%
compared to April and +18% compared to May. The rebound continued also in the third quarter, turning into a continuous narrowing of the gap compared to the same months of 2019 one month after the next, with -1% in August and lastly with even +0.5% in September. The decision to keep the structure motivated proved to be a winner. On the whole, in the third quarter results higher than expectations were recorded, making it possible to keep the drop in revenue of the first nine months at 11.4% compared to the same period of 2019, results that are definitely better, also compared to the key international players of the sector.
The services delivered by Family Care to the elderly continues to grow. This figure was up +38.5% in the first nine months, and even reached a peak of +48.5% in the third quarter.
We are facing the last quarter of this such an unusual year guaranteeing the health and safety of our employees. Our dynamism also takes shape through the acquisition of Lyve S.r.l., an educational company above all operating in the insurance and financial services sector, an ideal add-on in the training field that we are already involved in with the subsidiary HC S.r.l. Completing the picture is the Group's low financial exposure, with a negative NFP prior to IFRS 16 of just EUR 3.8 million as at 30 September 2020, which would actually be positive if the advances connected with the temporary unemployment compensation fund of approximately EUR 4.4 million which Forma.Temp will return to Openjobmetis during 2021, were to be considered."

Revenue from sales of the first nine months of 2020 was EUR 368.6 million compared to EUR 415.9 million in the first nine months of 2019. The 11.4% drop in revenue for the period is mainly due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, which spread in Italy from the end of February 2020. This phenomenon affected all of the Group's areas of activity (compared to the first nine months of 2019: Temporary workers -11.2%, Research and Selection -15.6%, outplacement -51.9%, other revenue - 24.1%). However, there was a marked recovery in the third quarter of 2020, with revenue clearly higher than the previous quarter (+25.2%), but above all the gap with respect to 2019 narrowed: in July, August and September 2020 the Group's total revenue fell by only 4.2% compared to the same months of 2019 and September was in line with 2019 (+0.5%).
Lastly, the excellent performance of activities related to care of the elderly and non-self-sufficient continued, up by 38.5% compared to the first 9 months of 2019 (+48.5% compared to the third quarter of 2019).
EBITDA in the first nine months of 2020 was EUR 10.4 million, compared to EUR 17.9 million in the same period of 2019.
EBIT in the first nine months of 2020 was EUR 5.7 million, compared to EUR 12.0 million in the first nine months of 2019.
The Net profit for the period closed at EUR 3.7 million, compared to EUR 7.9 million in 2019.
Shareholders' Equity as at 30 September 2020 amounted to EUR 103.5 million compared to EUR 103.2 million as at 31 December 2019.
The Net financial position as at 30 September 2020 was negative for EUR 15.4 million, compared with EUR 30.1 million as at 31 December 2019.

The results of the first nine months of 2020 - in particular the second quarter - were largely influenced by the impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic and by the related lockdown measures imposed by the Government in the first part of the year. During the third quarter, recovery in terms of turnover volumes continued, which began in May and June, but more than anything else the gap regarding the final results of 2019 was further narrowed as they were exceeded in September (+0.5% compared to September 2019). The revenue trend would appear to indicate a stabilisation of the temporary work employment market in the last quarter of the year. However, the scenario is still characterised by considerable uncertainty, also considering the increase in cases of Covid 19 infection being recorded in Italy and Europe, and the consequent measures that the government will adopt to control the pandemic. Top Management is focussing on careful management of the Company, giving preference to the safety of all employees and implementing the cost control plan previously undertaken in the first part of the year in order to defend its profitability.
As provided by Art. 16 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors of Openjobmetis S.p.A. appoints the Director Biagio La Porta Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.
