The numerical information included in this Interim Report on Operations and the comments contained therein are intended to provide an overview of the interim financial position and results of operations of the Sesa Group (referred to hereinafter also as the "Group"), of the relative changes during the reporting period, and of the significant events affecting the result for the period.
The Group's Interim Report on Operations as of January 31, 2025 is related to the first nine months of operation and represents the first financial disclosure prepared by the parent company Sesa SpA for the year ending April 30, 2025. For a better assessment of the Group's income and financial performance, this document presents the reclassified balance sheet, cash flow statement and income statement for the period ended January 31, 2025 and for the corresponding period of the previous year, together with some alternative performance ratios.
The Group Interim Report as of January 31, 2025 is not subject to audit.
Sesa Group's Interim Report on Operations (referred to hereinafter also as the "Interim Report") has been prepared in compliance with article 154-bis, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 as well as the pertinent Consob regulations. The Interim Report has been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), approved by the European Union and in force at the time of approval. The Group's balance sheet, cash flow statement and income statement as of January 31, 2025 are annexed hereto.
The accounting standards and the criteria adopted when preparing the Interim Report of January 31, 2025 comply with those adopted for the consolidated Group financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2024, taking into account those specifically applicable to interim situations. The Interim Report of January 31, 2025 includes the Interim Financial Report of Sesa SpA as well as the Interim Financial Reports of the subsidiaries of January 31, 2025. These interim financial reports have been adjusted, where necessary, to align them with the IFRS.

In order to better assess the performance and financial position of the Group and its business segments the management of Sesa SpA uses certain alternative performance indicators that are not identified as accounting measures under the IFRS. These indicators facilitate the identification of operational trends and support decisions about investments, allocation of resources and other operational decisions. Therefore, the measurement criterion applied by the Group may not be consistent with that adopted by other groups and therefore not comparable. These alternative performance indicators are made up exclusively from historical data of the Group and determined in accordance with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Indicators issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by Consob with communication no. 92543 of December 3, 2015. They refer only to the performance of the accounting period in question and of the periods under comparison and not to the expected performance, and should not be considered as a substitute for the indicators envisaged by the reference accounting standards (IFRS).
Finally, they have been prepared maintaining continuity and homogeneity of definition and representation for all periods for which financial information is included in this document.
In line with the above-mentioned communications, the criteria used to construct these indicators are provided below.

current and non loans, current and non-current financial liabilities for rights of use, and payables and commitments for the purchase of equity investments from minority shareholders. It complies with the definition of Net Financial Debt envisaged in Consob Communication no. 6064293 of July 28, 2006 and in accordance with ESMA Recommendation 2013/319;
For the sole purpose of preparing the reclassified income statement, the fair value adjustment of the liabilities for Puts, Earn Outs towards minority shareholders and the fair value adjustment in the case of step up acquisitions are reclassified from the items of financial income and expenses to other Income item.
The pro forma consolidated financial statements, consisting of the reclassified consolidated balance sheet, the reclassified consolidated income statement and the segment information as of October 31, 2024, presented for the first time in this document, have been prepared solely for the purpose of disclosure in order to simulate the effects that the acquisition of 66% of the capital of Greensun Srl (Digital Green Sector), finalised on December 3, 2024, would have had on the Group's results if it had entered the scope of consolidation from May 1, 2024. The pro forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by making appropriate adjustments to the figures as of October 31, 2024 in order to backdate the significant effects of the acquisition of control of Greensun Srl, a leading operator in the renewable energy technology sector with expected annual consolidated revenues in the year ending December 31, 2025 of about Euro 130 million and about 50 human resources. Considering Greensun's affiliation to the Digital Green Sector, only this last Sector was subject to pro forma.
The pro forma Consolidated Financial Statements are not subject to audit and are not in any way intended to represent a forecast of future results and should not therefore be used in this sense: the pro forma data do not reflect forward-looking data as they are prepared in such a way as to represent only the most significant, isolable and objectively measurable effects of the transaction for the acquisition of control of Greensun Srl and the related financial and economic transactions, without taking into account the potential effects of any management choices and operating decisions made as a result. The construction of the pro-forma reclassified consolidated data, drawn up for management information purposes only, does not comply with Consob regulations regarding the preparation of pro-forma financial statements, as they are not applicable.
The consolidation pro-forma of Greensun and subsidiaries from May 1, 2024 to the date of actual entry into the Group's scope (November 2024) contributed to Group Revenues and Other Income for Euro 83,713 thousand, to Group EBITDA for Euro 5,220 thousand, and to the net profit for the period for Euro 3,787 thousand and to the Group Adjusted Net Profit for Euro 2,212 thousand.

The Sesa Group continues on its path of growth and investment in strategic areas of the market. In the first nine months of the financial year ended January 31, 2025, the Group achieved Revenues and Other Income of Euro 2,516.9 million (+5.0% Y/Y) and Ebitda of Euro 176.7 million (-2.0% Y/Y), confirming the ability to attract and retain skills with 6,367 resources at January 31, 2025 (+14.5% Y/Y). Of particular importance are the results of the last quarter which, although achieved in a still challenging market context, show strong growth in revenues (+11.7% Y/Y) and an increase in EBITDA (+2.6% Y/Y), reversing the downward trend in the halfyear to 31 October 2024.
M&A operations continued in the period to support future growth: 10 bolt-on M&A operations have been carried out since the beginning of the fiscal year, which have concerned in particular the SSI, Business Services and Digital Green sectors. The industrial business combination operations carried out during the year have a perimeter of approximately 500 resources and annual revenues of approximately Euro 180 million.
In the SSI Sector, we note the strengthening of its skills in application consultancy on SAP platform and in Cloud services, to support the digital transformation of the Made in Italy districts through the acquisition of control of: i) Real-Time, a company active in data management and analysis software solutions, especially on the SAP Business One platform. Real-Time established about 35 years ago, has consolidated expertise in implementing business management systems and developing Business Intelligence projects.

Worthy of note in the Business Services sector is the acquisition of 75% of the capital of ATS Advanced Technology Solutions SpA. ATS, headquartered in Milan and with a staff of approximately 115 human resources, is a company specialised in the development of digital platforms and AI application solutions for the Financial Services industry that enable the digitisation and modernisation of information systems while guaranteeing and enhancing their security. Also in the Business Services sector, the acquisition of 70% of the capital of Metoda Finance Srl was finalised. Metoda, based in Salerno and with about 70 resources, specialises in the development and supply of fully proprietary software solutions in the fields of Regulatory Reporting, AML and Management for the Financial Services market.
The Digital Green sector strengthens its expertise in the energy efficiency technology sector with the acquisition of 66% of the capital of Greensun Srl, a specialist operator with a human capital of about 50 resources. The planned integration and merger with PM Service will create a reference operator on the national market with expected annual revenues of approximately Euro 300 million and growth prospects on European markets, laying the foundations for independent and further development in the medium-long term.

After the acceleration of the global economy in 2021, the two-year period 2022-2023 ended with an average growth of +3.4%. While remaining below historical averages, global expansion levels confirmed their resilience during the disinflationary process of 2022- 2023. Global annual growth of +3.2% is also expected in 2024-2025. Emerging markets continue to lead with an average growth in 2024-2025 of +4.2%, while the average growth of the advanced economies remains moderate at +1.8% (source IMF - WEO, January 2025).
The Euro Zone confirms a slowdown in growth from +3.4% in 2022 to +0.4% in 2023 and +0.9% in 2024, with an expected recovery to +1.6% in 2025 (source IMF - WEO, January 2025).
In Italy, after the strong recovery of GDP in 2021 (+7.0% Y/Y) and in 2022 (+3.7%), with rates above those of the Euro Zone, 2023 ends with a significant deceleration of growth (+0.9%), while still remaining above the European average. In the two-year period 2024-2025, average annual growth of Italian GDP is expected to be around 0.7% (source IMF - WEO, January 2025).
The following table shows the final results for 2018-2023 and forecast GDP trend for 2024 and 2025 (source: IMF - WEO, January 2025).

The global ICT market continues to be characterised by its resilience to crises and by higher growth rates than the global economy. After the strong acceleration in 2021 (+13.4%), the ICT market continues to outperform the pre-Covid period with an average growth in 2022-2024 of 6.0%, favoured by the Enterprise Software (average growth +15.4%) and IT Services segments (average growth 7.4%). A further market acceleration (+ 7.4%), fuelled by the IT Services and Enterprise Software segments, is expected in 2025. The recovery of the Data Centre sector is largely due to the need to support the workloads arising from the adoption of generative AI, while, with regard to Devices, the reversal of the trend reflects the progressive exhaustion of the life cycle of products supplied in the post-Covid period (Source: Gartner, January 2025).
In Italy, the Information Technology ("IT") market confirms the sustained growth trend, with average annual rates exceeding those of the pre-Covid period and national GDP. After +8.0% growth in FY 2021, the Italian IT market achieved a 3.3% increase in 2022-2024 supported by the Management and Development Services segments. A 3.7% acceleration in the growth of demand is expected in 2025. Within the IT market, the segment that displays the highest growth rates is Management Services (double-digit annual growth), which includes digital transformation and system integration services and solutions. The trend reflects the processes of accelerating digitisation in all segments and the evolution of the ways in which technology is used, as well as the progressive penetration of Cloud Computing and AI solutions (Source: Sirmi, January 2025).
The following tables represent the trend of the global (Source: Gartner, October 2024) and Italian (Source: Sirmi, January 2025) IT markets in 2019-2023 and the forecast for 2024 and 2025.

Sesa adopts a governance model aimed at fostering the creation of sustainable long-term value and a virtuous collaboration between company and stakeholders. The Group's objective is to pursue sustainable success through the creation of long-term value for the benefit of all stakeholders, as also formalised in the company's Articles of Association. Furthermore, Sesa acts within the reference framework of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the fundamental Conventions of the ILO and on the basis of its Code of Ethics, which is also an integral part of the Organisational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001. Specifically, Sesa adopts, as of August 2021, a one-tier system of administration and control, which provides for the appointment by the Shareholders' Meeting of a Board of Directors, which is responsible for the management of the company, and which appoints from among its members a management control committee that exercises control over the proper exercise of administration. The Board of Directors guides the company by pursuing its sustainable success also by defining the strategies of the Group company.
To this end, it should be noted that, on July 12, 2022, also in accordance with the work carried out during the last financial year by the Operational Corporate Sustainability Committee, the Board of Directors also set up an internal Sustainability Committee, with advisory and propositional functions to support the Board and the CEO in matters relating to sustainability.
• The Shareholders' Meeting is the body that forms and expresses the company's will, subsequently implemented by the Board of Directors. It is made up of the Shareholders, who periodically meet to pass resolutions in the manner and on matters defined by the law and the Company's Articles of Association. The most important tasks of the Shareholders' Meeting include the choice of the members of the Board of Directors and the Management Control Committee, as well as the approval of the Statutory and Consolidated Financial Statements;

Within the board, Sesa has also established three internal board committees: Appointments and Remuneration, Audit and Risks, Sustainability. The three internal board committees are set up in accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee is a proactive advisory body with the main task of making proposals to the Board of Directors for the definition of the remuneration policy for Directors and executives with strategic responsibilities. The purpose of the Committee is also to ensure the transparency and balanced composition of the Board, guaranteeing an adequate number of independent directors. The integration of the Appointment Committee's functions with those attributed to the Remuneration Committee was decided for reasons of organisation and internal efficiency of the Board, as well as in consideration of the close correlation between the competences of the Company's pre-existing Remuneration Committee and those attributed to the Appointment Committee pursuant to the Corporate Governance Code.
The Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee is a body with consultative and propositional functions which has the task of supporting, with an adequate preliminary activity, the assessments and decisions of the Board of Directors relating to the internal audit and risk management system, as well as those relating to the approval of the periodic financial reports.
The Sustainability Committee has the task of assisting the Board of Directors with investigative, propositional and consultative nature, in evaluations and decisions relating to sustainability issues, also understood as Environmental, Social and Governance, connected to the exercise of the company's activity and its dynamics of interaction with all stakeholders, to corporate social responsibility, to the examination of scenarios for the preparation of the strategic plan also based on the analysis of relevant issues for the generation of longterm value.
The composition of the management and control bodies in Sesa SpA complies with the applicable legal provisions, with specific reference to the appropriate gender distribution.
For information and in-depth analysis on the structure and functioning of the corporate bodies, governance practices, and the activities of the internal body Committees, please refer to the "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures" published pursuant to Article 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance on the website www sesa.it, in the "Corporate Governance" Section.

As of January 31, 2025,female employment constituted a significant component, amounting to 32% of the total workforce, thanks to the Group's growing commitment to gender equality policies, in a sector with technical-scientific professions that traditionally present a structural shortage of female resources.
The Group is committed to balanced remuneration policies, with the aim of guaranteeing equal opportunities for men and women, and actions aimed at reducing the pay gap between men and women, generated mainly by the business segment in which the Group operates.
The Group promotes the growth of its people through professional development and long-term retention paths (training, career path, work-life balance initiatives and corporate welfare), implementing a policy of permanent hiring of its resources which, as of April 30, 2024, represented 98% of the total workforce, selected through targeted hiring plans mainly of young high-school and university graduates.
The Sesa Group carries out the selection process on systematic basis and hires those human resources in support of the business growth and to develop digital skills. The work quality, the opportunity to collaborate on innovative projects, valuing diversity and the skills of resources, together to the Group commitment towards a sustainable development, represent the key elements in the attraction process of talents, especially for the youngest. The Group's selection process aims to identify the best resources available, through:

Over the last 12 months, about 947 new resources in the Group companies, of which 58% under 30, have been recruited from universities and training schools.
The Group offers numerous internship opportunities every year, giving young people with potential the chance to get to know the company and gain training experience, also through participation in school-work alternation schemes. As of January 31, 2024, 90 internships were active, including curricular and extra-curricular internships.
The total number of apprentices in vocational training and development courses increased to 453 as of October 31, 2024.
Training plays a key role in the process of enhancing the value of people, as well as being a strategic tool for aligning the professional skills of Group resources to working developments and corporate and legislative requirements. In the year ended April 30, 2024, 97,981 hours of training were provided, with an increase of 41% compared to the previous year. Training investments are focused on the following key areas: ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), essential to adopt sustainable and responsible practices; Soft Skills, essential transversal skills such as leadership, effective communication and team management; and Digital Technologies, to embrace innovations in digital technologies. Investing in training not only improves individual skills, but also strengthens the competitiveness of the entire organisation, helping to promote a corporate culture of continuous learning and professional excellence.
The training programmes also include a significant component managed centrally by the Parent Company's training office with reference to specific topics on issues such as personal data protection (GDPR-General Data Protection Regulation), Cyber Security, and Safety in the Workplace, also activated through digital e-learning platforms, which have enabled an increasing number of people to be involved. The training plans have been developed in line with PdR 125:2022, guaranteeing the fair and equal participation in training and development of our human resources.
The Sesa Group promotes the welfare of workers through policies and programmes of information and awareness on safety in the workplace, adopting the necessary measures to prevent and/or minimise accidents, injuries and occupational diseases. This overall vision translates into a business strategy aimed at pursuing the highest levels of protection and guarantee of workers through the planning and implementation of all actions aimed at ensuring the health and safety of processes and workplaces.
The control measures applied to eliminate or contain risks include:
• health and safety training programmes, differentiated according to the risks and professional profiles present in the company;

It should be noted that a small number of accidents were recorded during the last year ended April 30, 2024, almost all of which occurred while commuting between home and work, and they were all minor. The reported injury rate was 2.83% with a severity index of 0.05%.
The Group has been committed for over 10 years to identifying concrete initiatives aimed at promoting and increasing the individual and family wellbeing of workers through an articulated Welfare Plan. The Welfare Plan perfectly combines Sesa's mission, principles and core values, enabling the use of services and programmes aimed at improving the quality of life, work-life balance and well-being of workers, their families and the communities in which they live.
The new welfare plan for 2024-25, strengthened compared to the previous year's plan, includes a further boost to wellbeing, health, and the quality of people's working lives, with renewed focus on inclusion, education, sustainability and wellness.
Among the main welfare programmes are those in favour of employees' children up to three years of age. The Sesa Group protects maternity and return to work by supporting parents through the organisation of the Sesa Baby company crèche, within the Empoli Technological Hub, also through monthly contributions for the children of employees of other Group locations who attend the crèche.
The Welfare Plan benefits from the contribution of the Sesa Foundation, a non-profit organisation set up by Sesa's founding partners in 2014 with the aim of creating a structure dedicated to social solidarity and philanthropy activities in the territories where Sesa Group companies operate.

The criteria applied to identify the business segments reported are in line with the methods used by management to manage the Group. In particular, the structure of the business segments reported corresponds to the structure of the reports regularly analysed by the Board of Directors for the purposes of managing the Group's business. Specifically, the main dimension of management analysis used by the Group is that relating to the following operating segments:
The VAS Sector is defined as of FY2025 by excluding the Digital Green Business Unit from the Value-Added Solutions perimeter. For a better and clearer representation of the performance of the Sectors, the comparative figures as at 31 January 2024 have been restated.
The Group's management assesses the performance of the various operating segments, using the following indicators: (i) revenues from third parties by operating segment; (ii) Ebitda; (iii) profit for the period.
As Ebitda is not identified as an accounting measure by the IFRSs (Non-GAAP Measures), its quantitative determination might be fuzzy. Ebitda is a measure used by management to monitor and evaluate the operating performance of Group companies.The criterion for determining the Ebitda reported above and applied by the Group may not be consistent with that adopted by other companies or groups, so its value may not be comparable with that determined by them.
Segment information is presented by reclassifying, for management purposes, certain accounting items, including (i) Total Revenues and Other Income includes the fair value adjustment of liabilities for Put, Earn Out to minority shareholders and fair value revaluations in the case of step up acquisitions (ii) Operating result adjusted before amortisation of customer lists and know-how recognised as a result of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) process and before Stock Grant costs, and (iii) Profit attributable to the Group Adjusted before amortisation of customer lists and know-how recognised as a result of the PPA process, and before Stock Grant costs, net of the related tax effect and non-recurring taxes.

Economic transactions between Group companies take place at market prices and are eliminated in the consolidation process. Transactions entered into by Group companies with related parties in accordance with IAS 24 were conducted at market conditions and mutual economic convenience.
During the period under analysis, however, there were no significant transactions with related parties.
There are not significant events occurred after the end of the quarter as of January 31, 2025.
The results as at 31 January 2025 are part of the Group's industrial transformation path, which is increasingly focused on consulting, digital platforms and innovative technologies, along the main lines of evolution such as process digitisation, AI, cybersecutity, with objectives of sustainable and long-term value generation for stakeholders.
The Group confirms its skills and applications development strategy with a mid-single-digit growth outlook in revenues and operating profitability expected for FY 2025, boosted by the continuation of the growth trend in the Business Services sector, as well as the double-digit increase in revenues and profitability in the Digital Green Sector also as a result of industrial re-engineering actions.
