2023 Outlook

• Business volumes expected to growth by 30% YoY (~ 15% organic), mainly driven by:
  • Better than expected contribution from Francesco Ventura Costruzioni Ferroviarie as well as 4-month contribution of business unit acquired from PSC
  • 5-month consolidation of the newly acquired Colmar Technik for approximately € 5 Mln
  • Further growth of the core business in Italy, with execution of the track works and energy Framework Agreements with RFI and of traditional and urban maintenance and renewal contracts for other customers
