RESOLVED THE SPIN-OFF OF PRIMA ADDITIVE BUSINESS UNIT

Collegno (TO), March 14, 2022 – The Board of Directors of Prima Industrie S.p.A., a company leader in high technology laser systems, sheet metal working systems and electronic components for industrial applications, met today to approve the Company financial statements as at 31/12/2021 and the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Chairman Gianfranco Carbonato commented the results of the year as follows: "The year 2021 has seen strong signs of economic recovery, companies have accelerated their investment programs and the sector in which the Group operates has strongly benefited. In particular, Prima Industrie Group closed the year with a record order intake for the year (equal to 503 million euro), a significant recovery in revenues (+22.4%) and a marked improvement in net debt (down by 35 million euro, without considering the impact of leasing debts).

The year 2022 began with a significant growth prospect, supported by the machine order book at the end of February amounting to 249.2 million euros and by after-sales revenues deriving from the important installed base. The context, however, is currently marked by uncertainty linked to external factors such as international geopolitical tensions, and in particular the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the shortage and the growing cost of energy and components, on whose evolution the impact on the international economic scenario and on the Group's reference markets will depend.

The spin-off project of Prima Additive business unit allows to concentrate all the resources dedicated to additive manufacturing technologies in a single controlled entity and to manage it more efficiently, creating greater value.
