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

- 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

Salcef Group evaluates its Suppliers through a Suppliers Qualification System
- 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
