Revenues

€ Mln

  • Consolidated Revenues at € 319.7 Mln, up 35.9% YoY mainly due to:
  • Favourable comparison with 9M 2020, impacted by reduction of production due to Covid-19 crisis (€ 12.2 Mln)
  • Change in perimeter with the consolidation of Delta (€ 30.4 Mln1 ) and, to a lesser extent, Bahnbau Nord (€ 3.7 Mln)
  • Without considering those effects, remarkable organic growth at 16.3%

Revenues by Country

€ Mln

  • Revenues coming from outside Italy reaching 27% of the total, further growing compared to the 24% recorded in 1H 2021, mainly driven by:
  • North America, now at 10% with the consolidation of Delta
  • Further growth of the contribution from Middle East, thanks to ongoing activities in Abu Dhabi
  • North Africa further growing thanks to the ramp-up of the new contract in Egypt
  • Slowdown of Europe, partially offset by the growing contribution from Germany

  • EBITDA Margin down 1.9 p.p. vs. 9M 2020 due to the different mix of revenues, mainly generated by the different consolidation perimeter of the subsidiaries. Profitability in line with 1H 2021, confirming the positive result in a context of materially growing volumes
  • Higher D&A on the back of higher Capex
  • Tax rate adjusted at 26.9%, down compared to 30.0% in 9M 2020, which not benefitted from fiscal effects of revaluation of certain assets. On a like-for-like basis the two tax rates are comparable. Going forward, on the back of Industry 4.0 tax benefit and without additional benefits, tax rate adjusted expected to be between 27% and 28%
  • P&L adjustments related to warrant are in line with 1H figure. For FY 2021, last period with this impact, the figure will be exactly the same as the one at 30 September
  • NFP at € 105.3 Mln (Net Cash) doesn't include any impact related to warrant since they have been fully converted/expired during 3Q. Increase vs. YE2020 mainly due to the contribution from recent share capital increase and warrant conversion

€ Mln

  • Backlog1 confirmed at the all-time high € 1.1 Bn, of which € 992 mln (88.2%) from Italian market and € 132 mln (11.8%) from foreign markets
  • The different time frame of Italian contracts, typically longer than foreign ones, impacts the current composition of the backlog
  • Track & Light and Civil Works and Energy Signalling & Telecommunication confirmed as the core Business Units, with 92.6% of the total backlog

  • Does not include agreements between Group companies, to be considered intercompany

Focus on 2021 Capex

  • FY 2021 CAPEX are expected at € 44.7 mln1 (+36.2% vs. 2020)
  • At 9M 2021 stage CAPEX are proceeding as per plan

New DHS in SRT factory

  1. FY 2020 does not include the new perimeter of Delta R.C. occurred with its acquisition

Outlook

  • Business momentum supports expectations for a FY solidly confirming the growing path showed so far
  • Positive outlook in our strategic markets further backed by recent news flow, including the approval of \$ 1.2 trillion US Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, with \$ 105 Bn devoted to railways and public transit
  • New contract for the Verona-Padua high speed line supports confidence in a timely implementation of NRRP projects

  • The evaluation encompasses several dimensions among which:
  • − Environmental
  • − Health & Safety
  • − Ethical (anticorruption, human rights, etc.)
  • − Quality
  • − Economic-Financial
  • − Technical
  • In 2020, 763 suppliers have gone through the qualification process, of which 492 are qualified.
  • Moreover, the performance of the suppliers in the Supplier Qualification System are subject to dedicated analysis with reference to:
  • Quality & quantity of the supply
  • Execution timing
  • Environment and Safety regulations
  • A Supplier's Score on a 1 to 5 scale is then assigned, with impact also on the renewal of the qualification. Over 95% of the suppliers received a score greater than 3
