Company situation and overall business performance

During the first three months of 2021, the Servizi Italia Group's operating performance recorded a consolidated turnover equal to Euro 60,459 thousand, down by 3.8% (up by 0.5% at the same exchange rates) compared to the first quarter 2020.

For what concerns the comparison of revenues from sales and services as at 31 March 2021 and 2020, please note the following:

  • Revenues from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 75.8% of the Group's revenues) pass from Euro 47,656 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to Euro 45,813 thousand in 2021, sustained by the excellent organic growth registered in Brazil and Turkey, but offset by a negative exchange rate variation. In Italy, there is a significant drop in revenues, mainly attributable to the downturn in hotel and restaurant sector throughout the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, when the contraction only took place from March 2020 on. This decline is attributable to the current epidemic emergency situation and there is no substantial change in customer retention rates. It should be noted that revenues from wash-hire segment in Italy, net of the hotel sector, rose by 2.4% in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to new tenders in the north-eastern area. Revenues in Brazil are characterized by double-digit organic growth in local currency (up by 14.6%), offset by a negative exchange rate translation effect of 29.2% (depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro), resulting in a negative change for the period of 14.6%. Revenues in Turkey also registered an excellent organic growth of 9.4% for the period, offset by a negative exchange rate effect of 26.7% (depreciation of the Turkish lira against the Euro), resulting in a negative change in revenues of 17.3%.
  • Revenues from textile sterilization (steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 7.6% of the Group's revenues) pass from Euro 4,432 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to Euro 4,574 thousand, up by 3.2%, owing to the supply of specific linen in use in some hospitals in Italy for the prevention of Covid-19 infection.
  • Revenues from surgical instruments sterilization services (steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 16.7% of the Group's revenues) pass from Euro 10,768thousand in 2020 to Euro 10,072 thousand in 2021, registering a decrease equal to 6.5%, which is mainly attributable to the decrease in surgery activities related to Coronavirus emergency. In fact, it should be noted that the 2020 period of comparison saw the first downturns linked to the impact of the pandemic crisis only starting from March 2020. The revenues connected to this business segment are still affected by the uncertainty in planning interventions and the availability of spaces dedicated to them connected to the epidemiological crisis still in progress.

Consolidated EBITDA goes from Euro 15,447 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to Euro 15,237 thousand in the same period of 2021. Despite the reduction in revenues compared to the previous year (-3.8%), EBITDA margin passes from 24.6% to 25.2% (25.5% at the same exchange rate). It should be noted that during the period a capital gain was recorded in relation to the sale of the workwear division amounting to Euro 1.5 million, although this was offset by the sharp drop in margins recorded by the hotel division which operated in the quarter with a substantial lack of turnover compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Brazil and Turkey particularly positive performances, as well as measures to contain operating and structural costs should also be noted. There was a higher proportion of raw material costs to turnover (up by 0.3%), primarily linked to the

purchase and consumption of disposable equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) linked to the Covid-19 emergency, and an increase in the proportion of service costs (up by 1.9%), deriving in particular from a change in the logistical and production structure aimed at managing laundry and wardrobe services linked to the contingent situation of the Covid-19 emergency and the new tenders launched in north-eastern Italy. Payroll costs are slightly up as a percentage of revenues (0.3%), but down, in absolute terms, by 3% compared with the previous period, as a result of reduced use of temporary work and larger use of holidays, permits and redundancy fund (Italian CIG) in response to Covid-19 emergency. The excellent operating margins achieved at international level in both Brazil (EBITDA margin 32.2%) and Turkey (EBITDA margin 27.7%) are confirmed in 2021.

The operating result (EBIT) passes from Euro 1,914 thousand in the first three months of 2020 (EBIT margin 3.0%) to Euro 1,929 thousand in the same period of 2021 (EBIT margin 3.2% or 3.5% at the same exchange rates), mainly as a result of the trends already described in the comments on the change in EBITDA.

Financial expenses decreased compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to lower exchange rate losses recorded related to the depreciation of the Real and Turkish Lira against the Euro. It should also be noted that the results for the quarter were positively affected by the valuation of certain associated and jointly controlled companies using the equity method, totalling Euro 477 thousand.

The interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2021 therefore close with a net profit of Euro 1,411 thousand, compared to Euro 158 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Significant events and transactions

On 3 February 2021, in line with the redistribution of volumes in order to achieve greater saturation of the production capacity of the sites in the north-west area, production activities at the plant located in Podenzano (PC, Italy) ceased.

Covid-19 disclosure

The Covid-19 viral epidemic has imposed the need to contain epidemiological development as much as possible, leading to changes in hospital procedures and activities with regard to hygiene guarantees for medical and nursing staff, for wards and in-patients designated for the treatment of infections caused by the Coronavirus. All the activities of the Group, despite of operating in strict compliance with the relevant regulations, have been impacted by the evolution of the contingent epidemiological situation.

In consideration of the fact that the services provided by the Group are to be considered essential, of primary necessity and of public utility and therefore defensive with respect to the ongoing epidemiological situation, the Group has carried out risk & project management and project control activities in order to: (i) avoid the spread of contagion and protect the health and safety of personnel and the environment, (ii) guarantee business continuity, (iii) mitigate the possible negative impact on economic results deriving from a decline in demand for certain types of services; (iv) have an up-todate mapping of risks, related impacts and mitigation actions in the various areas of the company organization; (v) promptly launched the monitoring of the effects of the epidemic on its results and the related analyses, current and forecast, which are still in progress.

Significant events after the end of the period

On 20 April 2021, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting:

  • (i) approved the Parent Company's financial statements as at 31 December 2020 and the allocation of the result of the year;
  • renewed the authorization to purchase and dispose treasury shares, according to what proposed by the Board of Directors, subject to revocation of the previous authorization (dated 20 April 2018) for anything not used as proposed by the Board of Directors. The resolution authorizes to purchase a maximum of 6,361,890 ordinary shares with a par value of Euro 1.00 each, corresponding to the fifth part of Company's share capital (taking into account the shares already held by the Company from time to time) for a period of 18 months from today's date,

while the duration of the authorization relating to the disposal of treasury shares has no time limit;

  • approved the remuneration policy of Servizi Italia S.p.A.;
  • appointed the members of the Board of Directors, who will remain in office until the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the financial statements as at 31 December 2023, also determining their remuneration.

As at 10 May 2021, the Company acquired a total of 1,731,760 treasury shares on the market regulated and managed by Borsa Italiana, equal to 5.44% of the share capital.

Business outlook

The activities of the Group are affected by the general conditions of the economy and by the epidemiologic situation in the countries in which it operates. The Group has readjusted its governance strategy on the basis of the new medium-long term guidelines, integrating it with the new post-Covid-19 business strategy, aligning objectives and targets to the new reference context. For the year 2021, a climate of uncertainty remains regarding the possible effects of both the worsening of the pandemic crisis and the government measures to contain the contagion and those to support the economy that in the meantime will be implemented in the countries where the Group is present.

In addition to what already described with regard to the effects of the Covid-19 viral epidemic, it is noted that the Italian market of industrial laundry facilities is undergoing a structural decline linked to a number of specific critical factors in the health services sector, such as the awarding of contracts with increasingly low bids, the effects of which have impacted the Parent Company, with the non-renewal of contracts in the portfolio and the awarding of contracts already in the portfolio at lower prices.

In this general context, despite continuing to forecast of an overall positive operating margin in the foreseeable future, management will be interested in the medium-term by a reduction in turnover in the domestic wash-hire sector and a reduction in operating margins which may, in part, be offset by the further growth of higher-margin sectors and objectives relating to the modification of the commercial and operating strategy, based on the market context of the countries in which the Group operates; the re-engineering and reorganization of the organizational model, thanks to the support of technologies and digitalisation of processes that allow the efficiency of operating and business support activities. The use of legal provisions and instruments for personnel management, in dialogue with the trade unions and workers' representatives at company level, will go on with the aim of seeking shared solutions to respond to the epidemiological and market situation.

Furthermore, the Group as a whole may benefit from the effects of the internationalisation strategy, consolidating the positive results obtainable in the countries where it operates, particularly Brazil and Turkey.

The Group has a solid financial position, which will enable it to overcome the current crisis and the near future with a good financial balance and maintaining a good credit rating with banks.

In light of the above considerations, the Group remains confident of being able to effectively manage the effects of the ongoing epidemiological crisis together with future objectives.

5.2Performance by business segment and geographical area

Revenues from sales and services of Servizi Italia Group are shown below divided by business line for periods ending on 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2020.

• Revenues from wash-hire services (which in absolute terms represent 75.8% of Group's revenues) pass from Euro 47,656 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to Euro 45,813 thousand in 2021, supported by the excellent growth in Brazil and Turkey, however offset by a negative exchange rate variation. In Italy, a significant drop in revenues is noted, mainly attributable to the downturn in the hotel and restaurant sector throughout the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 where the contraction only took place from March 2020. It should be noted that the decline is attributable to the current epidemic emergency situation and there are also no substantial changes in customer retention rates. It should be noted that revenues from the washhire segment in Italy, net of the hotel sector, rose by 2.4% in the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to new tenders in the north-eastern area. Revenues in the Brazil area are characterized by double-digit organic growth in local currency (up by 14.6%), offset by a negative exchange rate translation effect of 29.2% (depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro), resulting in a negative change for the period of 14.6%. Revenues in Turkey also registered excellent organic

growth of 9.4% for the period, offset by a negative exchange rate effect of 26.7% (depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro), resulting in a negative change in revenues of 17.3%.

  • Revenues from linen sterilization services (steril B) (which in absolute terms represent 7.6% of Group's revenues) pass from Euro 4,432 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to Euro 4,574 thousand, up by 3.2% due to the supply of specific linen for preventing Covid-19 spreading in some Italian hospitals.
  • Revenues from surgical instruments sterilization services (steril C) (which in absolute terms represent 16.7% of Group's revenues) pass from Euro 10,768 thousand in 2020 to Euro 10,072 thousand in 2021, down by 6.5% mainly due a decrease of surgical operations connected to Coronavirus emergency. In fact, it should be noted that the period of comparison of the 2020 financial year saw the first downturns linked to the impact of the pandemic crisis only starting from March 2020. The revenues connected to this business segment are still affected by the uncertainty in the planning of the interventions and the availability of the spaces dedicated to them connected to the epidemiological crisis still in progress.

The following graph shows the details of revenue by business line:

Servizi Italia Group – Interim Management Report as at 31 March 2021 Page 17 of 25

The change in the period is mainly coming from the translation into Euro of goodwill arising from the acquisitions in Brazil and Turkey.

At the date of approval of this interim management report, there were no facts or events that could be indicative of a loss in value of goodwill recognised and tested for impairment at the end of 2020.

Equity-accounted investments

Share of profit/loss reflect the portion of profits and losses earned by investee companies during the period.

The positive item in OCI change (Euro 287 thousand) corresponds to the portion attributable to the Servizi Italia Group, within the scope of application of the equity method, of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivatives subscribed by the company Ospedal Grando S.p.A. (controlled by the jointly controlled company Finanza e Progetti S.p.A.).

With reference to the equity investment in Shubhram Hospital Solutions Private Limited, in view of the commitments undertaken with the local Indian partner, the Group's share of losses exceeding the value of the investment has been recorded under "Provisions for risks and charges".

Other non-current assets

The item is broken down as follows:

(thousands of Euros) as at 31 March 2021 as at 31 December 2020

175 175
Aqualav receivable, in escrow account 1,190 1,258
Other non-current assets 243 267
Total 3,539 4,342

The change in this item is mainly due to the release to the income statement of the substitute taxes pursuant to Article 15, paragraph 10-12 of Legislative Decree 185/08, paid in order to obtain tax recognition of the goodwill values that emerged during the business combination. These substitute taxes were recorded as advance payments of current taxes and released to the income statement over the period in which the company will benefit from the tax deductions related to the respective goodwill. The change in the "Aqualav receivable, in escrow account" is attributable to the depreciation of the Real against the Euro.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables amount to Euro 65,726 thousand as at 31 March 2021, up by Euro 2,752 thousand compared to 31 December 2020.

The item "Prepayments" increased primarily as a result of rentals and insurance premiums that were recognized at the beginning of the year. The item "Guarantee deposits" refers to energy utilities and rentals.

Shareholders' Equity

As at 31 March 2021, the fully subscribed and paid-up share capital of Servizi Italia S.p.A. is broken down into 31,809,451 ordinary shares with a nominal amount of Euro 1 each.

Following these transactions, the Company held 1,709,260 treasury shares, equal to 5.37% of the share capital as at 31 March 2021. The value of the treasury shares held on 31 March 2021, equal to Euro 4,973 thousand has been classified as a reduction in shareholders' equity.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by Euro 309 thousand compared to 31 December 2020.

It should be noted that payables to banks and other current financial institutions decreased by Euro 1,812 thousand compared to 31 December 2020 as a consequence of a wider use of self-liquidating lines.

Payables to banks and other non-current financial institutions showed an increase, passing from Euro 56,262 thousand as at 31 December 2020 to Euro 61,730 thousand as at 31 March 2021. This variation, amounting to Euro 5,468 thousand, is connected to the reclassification of short-term loan instalments due within the year and to the subscription of new loans obtained from banks for a total of Euro 15 million.

In the quarter there was also the collection of the price for the sale of the workwear business for approximately Euro 9.5 million, material investments, primarily textile and linen products to be introduced into the production process, for approximately Euro 15.5 million as well as the payment of the fourth installment of the price for the company Wash Service S.r.l. for Euro 0.5 million and capital increases in joint ventures for a total of Euro 2.0 million. The consolidated net financial position therefore went from Euro 129,607 thousand as at 31 December 2020 to Euro 133,397 thousand as at 31 March 2021 with a negative change of Euro 3,790 thousand.

Here follows also the net financial position drafted according to CESR Recommendation of 10 February 2005, now ESMA, which also reports the value of "Other current financial liabilities" in "Other current financial payables" and the value of "Other non-current financial liabilities" in "Other non-current payables".
