10 November 2022. The Board of Directors of Tinexta S.p.A., a leading provider of Digital Trust, Cyber Security, and Innovation & Marketing services, listed in the Euronext Star Milan segment, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana, met today under the chairmanship of Mr Salza and approved the Interim Report on Operations at 30 September 2022. In the first nine months of the year, Revenues amounted to € 246.7 million (+19.1%), adjusted EBITDA to € 54.8 million (+16.6%) and Net profit from continuing operations to € 18.5 million (+21.1%).

1 The comparative figures as at 30 September 2021 have been restated in relation to the completion in the fourth quarter of 2021 of the activities to identify the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Swascan S.r.l., which is consolidated on a line-by-line basis from 1 October 2020, Euroquality S.A.S., (consolidated on a line-by-line basis from 31 December 2020), and of Corvallis S.r.l., Yoroi S.r.l and Queryo Advance S.r.l., (consolidated on a line-by-line basis from 1 January 2021) as well as in relation to the completion in the second quarter of 2022 of the fair value identification activities of the assets and liabilities of Forvalue S.p.A. (consolidated line-by-line from 1 July 2021). The comparative figures as at 30 September 2021 have also been restated, due to the reclassification of the Credit Information & Management Division's discontinued operations as a result of the conclusion of binding agreements for the sale.

The adjusted income statement results are calculated gross of non-recurring items, of the cost relating to stock option plans and incentives, of the amortisation of other intangible assets emerging at the time of allocation, of the price paid in the business combinations and of the adjustment of liabilities for contingent consideration linked to acquisitions, net of the related tax effects and net of the "Profit (loss) from discontinued operations". These indicators reflect the Group's economic performance, excluding non-recurring factors not strictly related to the activities and management of the business. For further details on the construction of the adjusted income statement results, please consult the Interim Report on Operations at 30 September 2022.

2 Includes the reduction of financial debt deriving from the closing of the sale of the Innolva Group (€ 130.3 million).

The Chairman Enrico Salza declared, "The growth of the Tinexta Group continues, despite the significant economic and geopolitical uncertainty. The Group, now with a well-established presence abroad too, bases its business model on the offering of innovative services that are increasingly important and vital for the development of Italian and European companies. Tinexta is unrelenting in its search for solutions to support the country's digital growth, a crucial tool for its competitiveness and its development".

The Chief Executive Officer Pier Andrea Chevallard commented, "We are satisfied with the results achieved in the first nine months of the year. The results highlight, despite the difficult and challenging macroeconomic context, double-digit growth in Revenues, EBITDA and Net Profit and a reduction in debt, which allows us to confirm the guidance of the year. We will continue to carefully evaluate growth opportunities in the areas related to services for the digital transformation of companies both in Italy and in Europe, which today represents our main target market".

Adjusted EBITDA4 amounted to € 54.8 million, up 16.6% compared to the same period of the previous year. The change in scope resulted in a 20.9 % increase in adjusted EBITDA, organic contraction was -4.3%, for the most part reflecting investments in the organisational structure supported by the Cyber Security Division and strengthening of corporate functions.

Amortisation, depreciation, impairment and provisions totalled € 20.2 million (€ 18.8 million in the same period of 2021) and includes € 7.9 million of amortisation of Other intangible assets arising from allocation of the price paid in Business Combinations (€ 7.8 million in the first nine months of 2021), mainly pertaining to the Cyber Security BU and the companies Warrant Hub, Forvalue and Queryo.5

In the first nine months of 2022, non-recurring tax income amounted to € 3.5 million, attributable to redemption for a total of € 2.7 million.

Digital Trust. Revenues amounted to € 113.9 million, marking an increase of 22.2% compared to the first nine months of 2021, attributable for 9.6% to organic growth and for 12.6% to the change in scope, due to the consolidation from 1 November 2021 of CertEurope S.A.S., which contributed € 11.4 million to revenues for the first nine months of the year. The BU's revenues continue to benefit from the needs of businesses and the Public Administration to develop digital and dematerialisation processes and the growing interest recorded in international markets for enterprise solutions.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to € 32.8 million, an increase of 35.4%. Organic growth stood at 15.1%, while growth due to the change in scope amounted to 20.3%. The margin, equal to 28.8%, benefited from the organic growth in revenues and the consolidation of CertEurope S.A.S., characterised by higher margins.

Cyber Security. Revenues amounted to € 54.7 million, marking an increase of 6.3% compared to the first nine months of 2021, attributable for 4.8% to organic growth and for 1.5% to the change in scope, due to the consolidation from 1 July 2022 of LAN&WAN Solutions S.r.l. The increase in revenues was determined by the continuous growth in system integration services, by constant demand for the Legalmail Security Premium services - a service based on Yoroi's Sandbox Yomi technology that allows users to block suspicious communications - and the launch ofspecific security products and services linked to dedicated architectures. During the first nine months, a strategic partnership was established with a leading software company for financial services and a new product suite for AML process was rebranded.

6 After concluding binding agreements for the sale of the Credit Information & Management Division, the segment's contribution to the consolidated figures is presented as discontinued operations, and therefore excluded from the Group's business segments (comparative data were restated). The contribution of Forvalue S.p.A. (excluded from the scope of the sale) has been reclassified in the Innovation & Marketing Services business segment.

The collaboration with InfoCert continued for the resale ofstandardised cyber products and the qualification of the sales force for the large enterprise market segment.

Adjusted EBITDA came to € 4.8 million, down from € 5.8 million in the first nine months of 2021 due to both investments in the organisational and commercial structure made in the period and the different revenue mix with respect to 2021.

Innovation & Marketing Services. Revenues amounted to € 79.7 million, an increase of 27.1%, attributable for 4.9% to organic growth and the remainder (22.2%) to changesin scope, due to the consolidation of Evalue Innovación SL from 1 January 2022, of Enhancers S.p.A. from 1 April 2022, of Plannet S.r.l. from 1 July 2022 and of Forvalue S.p.A. from 1 July 2021. The BU registered lower revenues in both the Finanza Agevolata Automatica sector - which recorded a reduction in volumes on Research and Development credit - and corporate finance due to the expected slowdown in the Fondo Centrale di Garanzia. The growth, compared to the same period of the previous year, was driven by the performance of the acquired companies Evalue, Enhancers and Euroquality, the business relating to European Funding and Training, in addition to internationalisation and Digital Marketing services.

Adjusted EBITDA is equal to EUR 27.7 million. The increase compared to EBITDA in the first nine months of 2021 comes 10.2%, attributable for 19.4% to the change in the scope and to an organic contraction of 9.2%, due to the decrease deriving from Finanza Agevolata Automatica services.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2022

The Group achieved Revenues of € 78.7 million. EBITDA amounted to € 16.2 million and adjusted EBITDA is equal to € 17.7 million, with a margin for 22.5% of Revenues. Operating profit and net profit from continuing operations amounted to € 9.7 million and € 5.2 million respectively, accounting for 12.3% and 6.6% of revenues.

FORESEEABLE OUTLOOK FOR OPERATIONS

In light of the results of continuing operations the first nine months of the year, the Board of Directors confirms for the current year growth in Revenues of between 21% and 23% and in adjusted EBITDA of between 25% and 27%.7 The growth forecasts include the contribution of acquisitions made and exclude companies of the Credit Information & Management division object of the sale. The adjusted NFP/EBITDA ratio expected at the end of 2022 is to be around 0.6x, including a NFP reduction of approximately €230 million due to the effect of the sale of the Credit Information & Management division (which at completion will result in a capital gain of more than €80 million).

The macroeconomic context, in addition to the still uncertain health situation, continues to be affected by inflationary pressures and by the protracted tensions between Russia and Ukraine. The development of the conflict and the effects and/or repercussions of this macroeconomic context have not currently caused significant changes of an operational nature of the Group and therefore no significant impact is anticipated in the above-mentioned foreseeable evolution of operations.

The targets set out do not include the contribution of further external growth that the Group, in line with its strategy, continues to pursue, supported by the solid balance sheet and financial position and operating cash generation.
