Santa Maria di Sala (Venice), September 10, 2020 – The Board of Directors of Piovan S.p.A. ("Piovan" or the "Company") today reviewed and approved the Half-Year Consolidated Financial Report as of June 30, 2020.

"We are moderately satisfied with the results achieved by the Group in the first half of the year influenced by the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic. Against a contained contraction in revenues, margins held up excellently and above all, working capital confirmed to be positively managed, which contributed to improve the Group's equity and financial structure. In view of the above, we have considered proposing the distribution of an extraordinary dividend from the Company's earnings reserves" declared Nicola Piovan, Executive Chairman. "In this complicated context, the Group has demonstrated good resilience even in the most difficult times, largely because of a good geographical diversification and its presence in countercyclical sectors, such as medical and food packaging. Even in difficult times like this, the Group has invested heavily in new technologies for the recycling of food-use plastics, filing 8 patents in 2020 alone; these patents will allow the Group to seize the opportunities of this new market and strengthen its global leadership in the circular economy sector" adds Filippo Zuppichin, Chief Executive Officer.

The key financial highlights of the Half-Year Consolidated Financial Report as of June 30, 2020 follow:

Revenue overview

Consolidated revenue (and other income)

Piovan Group reports revenue and other income of € 102.6 million in the first half of 2020, reducing by 13.6% from € 118.8 million in the first half of 2019.

In terms of revenue only, in the first half of 2020, Piovan Group revenue was € 100.6 million, reducing by 13.6% on € 116.4 million in the first half of 2019.

Revenue calculated on a like-for-like basis (i.e. at the first half of 2019 average exchange rate) would have been Euro 853 thousand higher at Euro 101,496 thousand and a decrease of approx. 12.8% on the first half of 2019. Revenue was in fact mainly impacted by a negative effect from Brazilian Real movements.

Revenue by Business Segment

Change % Change
Plastic 80,420 92,775 95,409 -12,355 -13.3%

Revenue 100,643 116,439 116,439 -15,796 -13.6%

*the restated column incorporates the reclassification of a Plastic order to Food & non plastic, made for the 2019 half-year report.

Revenue by market indicates:

  • Plastic Systems revenue in the first half of 2020 decreased compared to the same period of the previous year. This was substantially as a result of the restrictions imposed initially in China and thereafter in Europe to fight the COVID-19 outbreak, which delayed the delivery and installation of a number of orders.
  • Food & non plastic system revenue in the first half of 2020 contracted, substantially due to the reasons outlined in terms of the Plastics area. The order backlog at June 30, 2020 however indicates a recovery for the sector in the second half of the year, where permitted by the restrictions required by COVID-19 which may be applied over the coming months.
  • Services in H1 2020 reported revenue of Euro 12,754 thousand, decreasing Euro 1,296 thousand on the same period of the previous year (-9.2%). Again in this case, the contraction is due to the mobility restrictions imposed across various countries to fight the pandemic outbreak, which did not permit for the normal provision of post-sale services to customers.
First half 2020 First half 2019 Change % Change
EMEA 61,444 72,771 -11,327 -15.6%
ASIA 12,967 14,796 -1,829 -12.4%
NORTH AMERICA 21,299 23,904 -2,605 -10.9%
SOUTH AMERICA 4,933 4,968 -35 -0.7%
Revenue 100,643 116,439 -15,796 -13.6%

Revenue by region

Asian revenues were impacted by COVID-19, which led to the closure for three weeks in the first quarter of the year (four weeks considering the holiday period for the Chinese New Year) of the facility in China.

EMEA revenues were impacted by the mobility restrictions imposed from the end of February, initially in Italy and thereafter in the rest of Europe, which slowed and imposed greater difficulties on the start-up of delivered systems and also the deliveries themselves.

Results substantially held up in South America thanks to the Group's entry into the Food & non Plastic market.

Consolidated operating and net results

EBITDA

In the first half of 2020, EBITDA was € 13.1 million, down 11.9% on € 14.9 million in the first half of 2019.

EBITDA however improved as a percentage of total revenue, increasing from 12.5% in H1 2019 to 12.8% in H1 2020, partly due to the optimization and cost cutting measures taken in the first half of 2020. In particular, with reference to the personnel costs, utilization of previous accrued holidays has been incentivized and with reference to the Italian subsidiaries only, from March on, they appealed to the lay-off scheme; foreign subsidiaries have adopted similar measures. The reduction in the absolute figure was thus mainly due to lower sales volumes.

Operating Profit

In the first half of 2020, Operating Profit was € 10.3 million, reducing 15.9% on € 12.3 million in the same period of the previous year, with a revenue and other income margin of 10.1% (10.3% in the same period of 2019).

Net Profit

In the first half of 2020, net profit was € 7.2 million, with a revenue and other income margin of 7.0%, down on € 8.6 million in the same period of the previous year.

* The captions "Other current and non current financial liabilities" in the table above do not include the effect related to the application of IFRS 16, which is indicate below.

The slowdown and/or non-completion of the installation activities, due to the COVID-19 mobility restrictions, delayed in certain cases the achievement of the contractual milestones required for a number of payment receipts from projects in progress. At the same time, payments to suppliers involved in these projects were made according to that originally agreed under contract, with consequent temporary absorptions of cash.

In the first half of 2020, investments totaled Euro 1,032 thousand.

The Group's net financial position at June 30, 2019 was significantly lower if compared to the end of June 2020. This is mainly due to the distribution of dividends for Euro 7.7 million and to the significant nonrecurring investment, which are extraordinary events that did not occur in the first half of 2020. Net cash of Euro 14 million was generated between June 2019 and June 2020.

The financial position includes medium/long-term loans, mainly relating to the Parent Company, for Euro 32.4 million, of which Euro 9.4 million repayable within 12 months and the remaining Euro 23.0 million within 5 years. The loans are not supported by guarantees and are almost entirely undersigned in Euro.

In March and April 2020, the parent company benefitted from a moratorium on the medium/long-term loans, with a consequent extension of their duration up to a maximum of 12 months.

Significant events occurred during the first half of 2020

Implications from COVID-19 pandemic

As stated above, the first six months of 2020 have been featured by the global diffusion of the pandemic, also known as COVID-19. The pandemic, and mostly the lockdown policies imposed by governments, have had wide repercussions in many sectors of the worldwide economy; however, thanks to the fact that the Group is present in a variety of geographic areas and in much diversified sectors, it has been possible to mitigate the total risk and to contain the sales volume reduction.

The pandemic effects and the restrictive measures imposed by the different governments have affected the Group companies in different ways, in terms of timing and significance. The main impacts that COVID-19 have had in terms of Group processes, are outlined here below:

  • Production plants: the production of the Chinese subsidiary Piovan Plastic Machinery suffered a stall of about 3 weeks. The full recovery of the production related efficiency occurred only around end of February 2020. The other Group productions plants have instead continued with production activities, while adopting safety measures for the employees' health. However, due to restrictions introduced on peoples' mobility, there has been a slowdown during March, April and May, for activities that involve business trips and in particular for the service and installation activities of certain projects, at the client's site. As of today all production plants are fully operating.
  • Supply chain and logistics: the Group was not particularly affected by delays in procurement.
  • Health & Safety: in order to mitigate the risk of spreading the infection, attention to manage all business processes has been maximized, on all Group subsidiaries. In particular, the precautions and measures included respectively in each national protocols have been implemented in all plants, so that the production activities could continue in safety, while in regards to the administrative and export area personnel, the option of working from home was preferred, also known as smart working.
  • Use of support measures: during this particular time, when possible, the Group appealed to the supporting measures offered by the governments. In particular, from March on, the Group Italian subsidiaries have used, in limited measure, the lay-off scheme (ie. Cassa Integrazione). Other subsidiaries have adopted similar measures.

From a financial viewpoint, the parent company obtained 3, 6 and 12-month moratoriums on loan repayment commitments. In addition, the US company received in May 2020 a government loan as per the

"Paycheck Protection Program" (PPP) of USD 1,855,042, of which approximately USD 1,400,000 may be converted into a non-refundable grant on meeting certain conditions. The conditions refer to the fact that the loan shall be used to pay salaries and wages, interests on loans, rents and utilities; moreover, maintaining the working force and their salaries and wages for a specific period of time, represents a mandatory condition. It is reasonable that such conditions could be respected, even though, considering that the request for the reimbursement exemption is expected to be during the fourth quarter of the year and that it will be subjected to verification and approval by the issuing authority and the competent body (SBA – US Small Business Administration), the loan have been entirely recorded among financial liabilities as at June 30, 2020. For the amount of the loan that will not be converted into non-refundable grant, this loan shall be reimbursed with constant instalments in 18 months, inclusive of interests, starting from the sixth month from its issuing.

Incentive plans

On May 12, 2020, the Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company approved three new medium/longterm incentive plans, which aim to retain and incentivize those beneficiaries who are key players in achieving the Group's objectives. This will align the remuneration of these beneficiaries with increases in value and return on shareholder investment.

For further details, please refer to Information Documents of the plans published on the Company website.

Significant events occurred after June 30, 2020

It should be noted that, within September 2020, the Company will proceed with the acquisition of the remaining 10% stake in the subsidiary Penta S.r.l, currently held by the Managing Director of the subsidiary itself, due to the exercise of the put option that he owns. This acquisition, which will bring Piovan S.p.A. to hold 100% of the capital of Penta S.r.l., constitutes a further step in the path of strengthening the Group in the Food.

For further information, please refer to the Half-Year Consolidated Financial Report.

Outlook

The Group confirms what already depicted in the Annual Financial Report as of December 31, 2019, in regards to its development of strategies in place, which include among its goals (i) the increase of its contribution to the circular economy developing products and solutions dedicated to the recycling industry; (ii) the growth through acquisitions and; (iii) the increase in its market share in the Food & non-plastic area.

After the first half of 2020, that was impacted by the effects of COVID-19, particularly in terms of revenues, which reduced on the same period of 2019, the environment continues to present uncertainties, whose development and relative effects are difficult to forecast.

The order backlog at June 30, 2020 is substantially in line with the Group's usual volumes, although amid the restrictions on mobility and the degree of general uncertainty the execution of orders in portfolio may

be slowed, particularly in the third quarter of 2020 - while from the fourth quarter onwards the situation may truly normalize except for further relapses.

Finally, is to be noted that Piovan Group is present in a variety of geographic areas and in highly diversified sectors, which allow for a comprehensive risk mitigation linked to the current crisis. Furthermore, the Group is considering if and to what extent, to make use of the social safety nets established by the governments of the concerned countries.

Proposal for the distribution of an extraordinary dividend from retained earnings reserves

In consideration of the current scenario, of the results achieved by the Group and by Piovan S.p.A. during the first half of 2020 and the solid economic and financial situation, as indicated in the Consolidated halfyearly Financial Report as at June 30, 2020, taking into account that Piovan S.p.A. achieved a largely positive result in the first six months of 2020, the Board of Directors resolved to convene the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on October 13, 2020 and to propose the distribution of an extraordinary dividend for total Euro 5,602,223.00. The dividend will be taken entirely from the extraordinary reserve, made by retained earnings, and will be equal to Euro 0.11 for each share entitled to profits, having therefore already excluded the treasury shares held by the Company, pursuant to art. 2357-ter, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code.

The dividend will be paid starting from October 28, 2020, with ex-dividend set for October 26, 2020 and record date October 27, 2020.

For further information, please refer to Directors' Report.

Appointment of an independent Director, pursuant to art. 2386 Italian Civil Code

On May 14, 2020, following the resignation of Eng. Marco Milani from the office of member of the Board of Directors of the Company and from the further offices held in the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and in the Related Parties Committee, the Board of Directors resolved upon the co-optation of his substitute, Eng. Mario Cesari, pursuant to art. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code and art. 14.4 of the Company Bylaws.

The term of office given to Eng. Cesari, as a Director co-opted by the Board of Directors, appears to be until the first useful Shareholders' Meeting, that is the one called on October 13, 2020 to resolve upon the proposed distribution of dividends. Therefore, the Board resolved to propose to the Shareholders to confirm Eng. Mario Cesari as a Director of the Company.

For further information, please refer to Directors' Report.
