"The growth in revenues and - above all - the marked improvement in profitability achieved in the first half of 2023 can mainly be attributed to the good balance of our business portfolio, both in terms of end-markets and geographies, to the implementation of our strategy always focused on the needs of our customers, and to the first positive results deriving from the integration of the Group in North America" declares Nicola Piovan, Executive Chairman of Piovan S.p.A.

(1) For the purposes of comparison, the statement of profit and loss figures for H1 2022 have been restated compared to the Half-Year Financial Report at June 30, 2022, following the definitive purchase price allocation for the IPEG group. Income taxes and the Net profit were restated.
Revenue analysis
Revenue
In the first half of 2023, Piovan Group revenue totaled € 285.4 million, with a strong growth on € 232.0 million in the first half of 2022, increasing by +23%.
Recognizing the effect of the acquisition of IPEG group retroactively to January 1, 2022, Piovan Group revenue in the first half of 2022 would have been equal to € 245.6 million, increasing by +16.2% in 2023.
Revenue calculated on a like-for-like basis (i.e. average exchange rate in the first half of 2022) would have decreased by € 1.1 million at € 284.3 million and showing a growth of 22.5% compared to the first half of 2022. The exchange effect on revenue was mainly due to the trends of the US dollar against the Euro and, to a lesser extent, to trends in the Renminbi.
Revenue by Business Segment
| €/000 | H1 2023 | % | H1 2022 (*) | % | H1 2023 vs H1 2022 |
% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Polymers | 223,531 | 78.3% | 175,533 | 75.7% | 47,998 | 27.3% |
| Food & Industrial Applications | 18,599 | 6.5% | 23,230 | 10.0% | (4,631) | (19.9%) |

| Revenue | 285,437 | 100.0% | 231,995 | 100.0% | 53,442 | 23.0% |
(*) H1 2022 includes IPEG group for just 5 months. Furthermore, it should be noted that, in order to better reflect the current configuration of products sold and services provided by Piovan Group, also following the acquisition of IPEG group, the nomenclatures of the reference markets have been redefined compared to previous financial communications.
For what concerns the dynamic of revenue by Business Segment in the first half of 2023, it should be noted that:
- Technical Polymers Systems revenue increased by 27.3%, driven by good performances in all the geographical areas. In particular, the increase is attributable to (i) the increased use of recycled materials in rigid packaging, a sector in which the Group is a leader, (ii) the good performance of the Automotive sector, whereby the transition to electric models requires a significant transformation of metal components into technical polymers; and to (iii) investments in new pipelines, and more generally in high technical content components;
- Food & Industrial Applications Systems revenue decreased compared to the first half of 2022 due to the timing of development of a number of projects, mainly in the North American market, that are to be completed in the second half of 2023, and to the collection of orders for powder processing systems in the Technical Polymers market, which took some production capacity away from food powder processing systems in the Food & Industrial Applications market;
- the Services market reported revenue growth of 30.3% on the same period of the previous year, confirming the development expectations of the Group, which is also focusing on growth in this market.

Revenue by region
(*) H1 2022 includes IPEG group for just 5 months.
Revenue in North America mainly grew as a result of the increased market shares, the good performances of the subsidiary Pelletron US and of the food area, and in part also driven by the positive impact of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Growth in Asia, up by 64.6%, shows signs of recovery in the Asian market, also thanks to the winning of some major orders at the end of 2022 and early 2023, which had seen a slowdown in the first part of 2022 following the lockdowns in the first part of the year related to the re-emergence of COVID outbreaks.
Performance in Europe, while positive, reflects the fact that major projects underway in the food area had a final destination of North America and are developed in Europe. Finally, South America continued to perform well, with growth of 35.4%.

Other revenues and income
Other revenues and income decreased by 22.5% on the first half of 2022. This aggregate included a number of operating grants in 2022. Recognizing the effect of the acquisition of IPEG group retroactively to January 1, 2022, Other revenue and income for Piovan Group in 2022 would have been equal to € 6.8 million (-30.6%).
Total revenues and other income
In the first half of 2023, therefore, Total revenues and other income of Piovan Group amounted to € 290.1 million, growing strongly compared to € 238.1 million in the first half of 2022 (+21.9%). Recognizing the effect of the acquisition of IPEG group retroactively to January 1, 2022, the amount of revenues and other income of Piovan Group in 2022 would have been equal to € 252.3 million, increasing by 15.0% in 2023.
Analysis of Group economic results
EBITDA
In the first half of 2023, EBITDA totaled € 37.5 million, an increase of 40.2% compared to € 26.7 million in the first half of 2022 (12.9% margin on total revenues and other income vs. 11.2% in the first half of 2022).
Recognizing the effect of the acquisition of IPEG group retroactively to January 1, 2022, EBITDA in the first half of 2022 would have been equal to € 27.8 million, increasing by 34.7% in 2023.
The growth in EBITDA reflects certain non-recurring costs incurred for activities related to the integration of IPEG group and certain additional costs related to a contract in the food market for a subsidiary.
Adjusted EBITDA
In the first half of 2023, Adjusted EBITDA totaled € 37.7 million (excluding certain non-recurring components or non-core activities), for a margin on total revenues and other income of 13.0%, increasing by 37.9% compared to Adj. EBITDA in the first half of 2022.
Recognizing the effect of the acquisition of IPEG group retroactively to January 1, 2022, Piovan Group Adj. EBITDA in the first half of 2022 would have been equal to € 28.4 million, increasing +32.6% in 2023.
EBIT
In the first half of 2023, EBIT totaled € 30.6 million, up from € 18.6 million in the first half of 2022.
EBIT, therefore, reflects the effects of the PPA of IPEG, which alone included the recognition of amortization of intangible assets of € 2.0 million in the first half of 2023 (€ 3.1 million in the first half of 2022).
The EBIT margin on total revenues and other income is equal to 10.5%, improving with respect to the previous year (7.8%). Excluding the effects of the PPA as described above, EBIT would have been equal to € 32.5

million, for a margin on total revenues and other income of 11.2% (€ 21.7 million in the first half of 2022, for a margin of 9.1% on total revenues and other income).
As described above, the growth in EBIT reflects certain non-recurring costs incurred in the period for activities related to the integration of IPEG group and certain additional costs related to an order of a subsidiary.
Net Profit
The Net Profit in the first half of 2023 was equal to € 21.8 million, increasing on € 15.0 million for the same period of the previous year. The margin on total revenue and other income was equal to 7.5% (6.3% in the first half of 2022).
Net profit in the first half of 2023 benefited from the gain on the transfer of control of Toba PNC. As of the date on which the sale was finalized, the deconsolidated company had negative equity of € 2.6 million (of which € 1.3 million related to minority interests).
Excluding the amortization of the PPA of IPEG, equal to € 2.0 million (€ 3.1 million in the first half of 2022), its related fiscal effect equal to € 0.4 million (€ 0.6 million in the first half of 2022) and the gain on the sale of Toba PNC, net profit would have been equal to € 22.0 million (€ 17.5 million in the first half of 2022), for a margin on revenues and other income of 7.6% (7.3% in the first half of 2022). It is also reminded that the net profit in the first half of 2022 benefited from a positive effect of € 3.3 million due to the favorable trend of the dollar against the euro.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share was equal to € 0.44 as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 0.30 as of June 30, 2022.
Group Balance Sheet items overview
Consolidated Net Financial Position
The consolidated net financial position at June 30, 2023 was negative and equal to € 102.6 million, improving if compared to June 30, 2022 – when it was negative and equal to € 117.6 million – and decreasing if compared to a negative one equal to € 88.1 million at December 31, 2022, absorbing net cash in the amount of € 14.5 million, which was mainly attributable to the dividends resolved and paid by the Parent Company in May 2023 (about € 10.2 million) and the investments made in the semester (about € 4.5 million).

Investments for the first half of 2023 totaled € 4.5 million (€ 1,6 million in the first half of 2022), of which non-recurring investments equal to € 2.6 million.

The net financial position includes medium/long-term loans, mainly relating to the parent company Piovan S.p.A. (the "Parent Company") and entirely subscribed in Euro, for € 135.2 million, of which € 38.2 million repayable within 12 months and the remaining € 97.0 million medium/long-term.
As reported previously, it is reminded that, in January 2022, in order to complete the IPEG acquisition, a 6 year € 100 million fixed-rate loan bearing annual interest of 1.335% was obtained.
Significant events occurred during the first half of 2023
Doteco Inc.
On January 1, 2023, Doteco S.p.A. sold its equity interest in Doteco Inc. to IPEG Inc.. This transaction, which had no impact on the consolidated financial statements, falls within the scope of a broader process of reorganization and streamlining that Piovan Group initiated following the acquisition of the American group IPEG.

Sale of Toba Pnc
On January 31, 2023, the sale was completed to non-controlling interests of a 41% stake held by Piovan S.p.A. in Toba Pnc. As a result, Piovan S.p.A. now holds a 10% interest in Toba Pnc. The Group will be continuing to operate in Korea by way of both the non-controlling interest in Toba Pnc and a direct presence in the country, development of which is ongoing.
Establishing of Piovan Indonesia
On January 6, 2023, the Group established a new commercial branch in Indonesia – PT Piovan Technology Indonesia – to be able to serve locally and more directly clients in that country.
Resignation of a director
On January 26, 2023, the director Marco Stevanato resigned for personal reasons. Mr. Stevanato was a nonindependent, non-executive director and held no additional positions on the Company's committees. There are no indemnities or other benefits payable as a result of his conclusion of office. On March 21, 2023, Mr. Maurizio Bazzo was co-opted to the Board and was then confirmed by the Shareholders' AGM of April 27, 2023, establishing that he shall remain in office until the conclusion of mandate of the other currently serving directors, and therefore until the Shareholders' AGM called to approve the financial statements at December 31, 2023.
Acquisition of some assets from ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH
On March 14, 2023, Piovan Group, by way of the subsidiary FDM GmbH, purchased from ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH a number of assets attributable to the Materials Handling, Dosing and Recycling markets with the goal of developing the Service/post-sale market and expanding market share with the OEM leader on the German market.
Dividends distribution
On April 27, 2023, the Shareholders' AGM approved the distribution of a dividend for € 10,206,492.20 (€ 0.20 per share with profit rights, excluding the treasury shares of the Company). The dividend was paid out from May 17, 2023, with coupon date of May 15, 2023 and record date of May 16, 2023.
Authorization to acquire treasury shares
On April 27, 2023, the Shareholders' AGM conferred to the Board of Directors of the Company the authorization to purchase and dispose of treasury shares, subject to revocation of the previous authorization granted by the Shareholders' AGM on April 28, 2022, as detailed in the Directors' report published on the Company's website at www.piovan.com, in the Investors/Investor Relations/Shareholders' Meeting section.
New Long Term Incentive Plan
On April 27, 2023, the Shareholders' AGM approved the new stock grant plan for ordinary company shares, called the "2023-2025 Long Term Incentive Plan" (the "Plan"). The Plan is organized into three cycles (the first for the 2023-2025 vesting period, the second for the 2024-2026 vesting period, and the third for the

2025-2027 vesting period) and, for each cycle, calls for the assignment of ordinary shares of Piovan S.p.A., under the terms and conditions specified in the Information Document published on the Company's website (www.piovan.com), to Executive Directors (excluding the Executive Chairperson) and Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, and additional individuals to be selected by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors from among the employees and/or contractors of the Company or subsidiary companies due to the strategic importance of the roles. It is underlined that the Plan's goals include one objective related to ESG topics.

No further significant events occurred after June 30, 2023.
Outlook
The Group confirms its desire to continue along the strategic path undertaken, focusing on increasing its contribution to the circular economy by developing products and solutions for the recycling value chain, increasing acquisitions, and working to achieve greater market share in the Food & Industrial Applications segment.
With regard to future acquisitions- and given the completion of the IPEG, Inc. acquisition on January 31, 2022 - it is reasonable to assume that the following months will continue to be dedicated to the strategic integration, defined in 2022, of this industrial group in order to take full advantage of the company's strategic potential, given also its importance within the Group.
Although the Group's focus is on reducing debt as a result of the above-mentioned operation, Piovan remains interested in companies with products/technologies that can expand the value chain served by the Group, and will continue to assess potential opportunities for acquisitions and external growth.
With regard to developments in European legislation concerning the production and use of plastic, there is a possibility of changes in the marketplace. In particular, legislation could promote the use of recycled plastic or biodegradable polymers at the expense of virgin, petroleum-based polymers.
For Piovan Group, this European legislation represents an opportunity to sell technologies developed in recent years for the automation, processing and screening of recycled and biodegradable plastics, sectors in which the Group has developed a strong leadership also thanks to several patents related to recycling and where it has a technological advantage over its competitors. The Company currently estimates that about 32.4% of the automations sold in the packaging, fiber and recycling segments are being used in order to make use of recycled material.
Since 2006, the Group has built hundreds of plastic recycling plants and thousands of systems that make it possible to create new products out of recycled plastic.
Piovan is already engaged at various levels in the process of change and is committed to providing solutions to the market for a circular economy, particularly in researching and developing advanced innovative

technologies - allowing customers to use recycled polymers and obtaining a quality product with low environmental impact, cutting CO2 emissions and the consumption of scarce resources.
Considering organic growth, on the strength of record performance in 2022 and a first half of 2023 which appears to confirm the performance in 2022, the Group looks to organic growth for the future with great optimism despite the uncertainties related to the geopolitical environment. Piovan Group has a presence in many geographical areas and in a diverse range of industries, which will certainly mitigate the overall risk, which mainly stems from the significant raising of interest rates by central banks and the persistent geopolitical uncertainties.
The order backlog at June 30, 2023 has not undergone significant changes compared to the data of the previous year, thanks to an order intake which, although slightly down on the previous year, was again at a satisfactory level and in line with the Group plan. In addition, supply chains are gradually normalizing.
Against these positive factors however, risks related to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war persist, with its consequent impact on the economy, while the particularly high levels of inflation have forced central banks to considerably raise interest rates. Continuing this policy for too long may impact consumption and investment decisions.
