14 May 2024 - The Board of Directors of Tinexta S.p.A., a leading provider of Digital Trust, Cybersecurity and Business Innovation services, listed in the Euronext Star Milan segment, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana, which met today under the chairmanship of Mr Salza, approved the Interim Report on Operations as at 31 March 2024. In the first quarter, Revenues amounted to €98.4 million (+14.4%), Adjusted EBITDA to €15.4 million (+2.7%) and adjusted net profit from continuing operations was €5.8 million (-15.4%).

1 Includes the acquisition of ABF Group.

2 ABF Group and Ascertia consolidated for 12 months.

The Chairman Enrico Salza stated: "The Tinexta Group continues to pursue its growth path, organically and through the acquisition of specialised companies, remaining faithful to its business plan, which is based on a solid balance sheet".

The Chief Executive Officer Pier Andrea Chevallard commented: "All the Group's business units have positively contributed to the results for the first quarter, supporting a double-digit revenues growth. In particular, the growth in the first quarter of 2024 was driven by the increased offering of technological services related to Digital Trust and Cybersecurity, with the aim of improving the safety of the infrastructures of companies and public institutions. Regarding the Business Innovation BU, performance was strongly influenced by an increasingly pronounced seasonality in favour of the second part of the year, when companies are expected to accelerate investments in innovation. We confirm the year-end objectives already announced to the market."

Digital Trust

The BU's revenues in the first quarter amounted to €51.3 million, an increase of 21.1% compared to the same period of the previous year. 7.8% of this increase is attributable to organic growth, while 13.2% to the change in the scope of consolidation, with the inclusion of Ascertia Ltd and its subsidiaries from 1 August 2023.

Growth in the first quarter of 2024 was driven by LegalMail solutions, with particular reference to the Public Administration and large companies market, by LegalCert solutions, thanks to sales of signature services in the transport sector and the organic growth of GoSign, by Trusted OnBoarding Platform solutions addressed to the Enterprise market, due to recurring revenues for payments and consumption of loyal customers that year after year increase the use of the platforms after targeted testing periods.

Revenues of foreign subsidiaries amounted to 21.0% of total revenues compared to 11.8% in the same period of the previous year, confirming the expected growth.

The BU continued to develop, improve and adapt its products and solutions to regulatory and market needs. Intense investment activities continued, combined with the continuous updating of the operating and organisational models, needed to maintain and develop product and financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment reached €15.8 million, up +35.8% compared to the first quarter of 2023, attributable for 11.6% to organic growth and for 24.2% to the change in scope of consolidation. The growth rate recorded is higher than the increase in revenues, confirming the ability to continuously improve the management of operating leverage.

CyberSecurity

Revenues amounted to €23.9 million, with an increase of 15.7% compared to the first quarter of 2023. The higher results were achieved mainly in the Cybersecurity area, specifically Implementation Services.

The development of the business took place, in line with the strategic policies defined in the plan, with a view to offering products and services that provide end-to-end security management for its customers, in particular through the use of proprietary products.

The results obtained in the Managed Security Service area mainly relate to new installations of the Yoroi CSDC and the Swascan SOC H24, also boosted by the partnership with Google Cloud and

in the first quarter of 2024.

by the consolidation of the sale of the Legal Mail product with approximately 43,000 new activations

The results obtained in the Implementation Services area regard services associated with security monitoring, including through third-party products. In the Advisory area, the BU obtained positive results in terms of orders, both by proposing the new Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) services, developed in our internal laboratories and already implemented for numerous customers, and through Yoroi, which enabled it to increase its Compliance activities, identifying new regulatory requirements in the Finance area such as the DORA regulation.

Instead, with regard to the Digital Transformation business lines, the BU continued to take the lead in numerous project initiatives aimed at technological but also functional, process and safety innovation. The first quarter was characterised by the performance in AML (Anti Money Laundering), with a new installation at a major insurance company and a pipeline linked to the Provisio proprietary solution. Total orders in the first quarter amounted to approximately €29 million, up by 10% compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment amounted to €2.3 million, up by 10.1% compared to the first quarter of 2023, and a margin of 9.7% on revenues (10.2% in the first quarter of 2023), also due to the different revenue mix.

Business Innovation

Revenues amounted to €25.1 million, an increase compared to the first quarter of 2023 of 4.4%, attributable for 7.1% to organic decrease and for 11.4% to the change in the scope of consolidation, due to the consolidation from 31 December 2023 of Studio Fieschi S.r.l. and ABF Group and its subsidiary ABF Décisions from 1 January 2024. The organic decrease was mainly related to automated subsidy services (-20% compared to the first quarter of the previous year) due to the expected drop in rates and lower sales volumes, and to services linked to Training and Energy, due to the discontinuation of the Training Bonus and of the Gas and Green Energy Credit 110. On the other hand, the growth in revenues from digitalisation services continued (+34% against the previous year) related to Custom solution activities.

During the first quarter of 2024, the subsidised finance market in Italy was negatively affected by the reduction in the rates relating to Research and Development Credit 4.0 (which fell from 20% to 10% for research and development, and from 15% to 10% for green innovation 4.0). Nevertheless, the remodulation of the NRRP for Transition 5.0, relating to investments that enable companies to save energy, and which make it possible to take advantage of double rates (up to 40%), represents an important opportunity to develop the range of services offered in the reference market. In addition, during 2024, benefits resulting from the announcement of the Italian Prime Ministerial Decree attributable to Art. 23 of Italian Decree Law no. 73 of 21 June 2022 (Association of Certification entities) are expected.

With reference to the performance of ABF Group and its subsidiary ABF Décisions, as expected, the revenues of the first quarter represented a very small portion (about 5%) of the expected annual

revenues. This performance obviously affected the profitability of the quarter, which showed a lower absorption of structural costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was €1.2 million. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2023 was 75.7%; 59.5% is attributable to organic decrease and 16.2% to the change in the scope of consolidation. The organic decrease is attributable to the combined effect of the fall in profitability due to the drop in rates, and the different product mix resulting from the growth in the weight of Digital services compared to automated subsidised finance services (which benefits from a higher average industrial margin).

GROUP NET FINANCIAL INDEBTEDNESS

Net Financial Indebtedness as at 31 March 2024 amounted to €240.1 million, an increase of €138.1 million compared to 31 December 2023. The change in net financial indebtedness compared to the first quarter of 2023 and the last 12 months to 31 March 2024 is shown below.

The Adjusted Free Cash Flow from continuing operations amounted to €27.2 million (€22.8 million in the previous year). The Free Cash Flow from continuing operations amounted to €21.4 million: €27.7 million of "Net Cash Flow generated by operating activities", gross of €6.3 million of investments in "Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets" (€18.1 million in the same period of 2023).

The "Adjustments to lease contracts" resulted in an increase in indebtedness of €0.8 million. The item "Adjustment of Put options" reflects the revaluation for €5.7 million due to the passage of time and the change in discounting rate.

Outlook

In light of the results for the first three months of 2024, the Board of Directors confirmed the expected growth4 in 2024 consolidated revenues for the current year, with the consolidation of ABF Group and Ascertia for 12 months, of between 21% and 23% compared to 2023 (approximately 7% on an organic basis), with an Adjusted EBITDA up between 28% and 32% (approximately 10% on an organic basis).

The debt ratio (NFP/Adjusted EBITDA), considering only the acquisitions completed as at 31 March 2024, is expected to be between 1.7x and 1.9x at the end of 2024.

The targets set out do not contain the opportunities for growth through external strands that the Group, in line with the strategy it has set out, intends to continue to pursue, supported by the solid equity and financial situation and by the significant generation of operating cash that is expected.

4 It is important to note that these forecasts are based on different assumptions, expectations, projections and provisional data relating to future events and are subject to multiple uncertainties and other factors beyond the control of the Tinexta Group. There are many factors that can generate results and trends significantly different from the content, implicit or explicit, of the forecast information and therefore such information is not a reliable guarantee of future performance.

The Plan for the Purchase and Disposal of Treasury Shares gets underway

Tinexta also communicates that, under Art. 144-bis, paragraph 3, of Consob Regulation 11971/1999 and subsequent amendments and additions (the "Issuers' Regulations"), the Company's Board of Directors also decided today to start the treasury share purchase programme in accordance with the authorisation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2024 (the "Programme").

Purpose of the Programme

The predetermined main purpose of the Programme is to:

  • dispose of treasury shares to be allocated in service of current and future incentive plans in order to incentivise and retain employees, partners and directors of the Company, the subsidiaries and/or other categories of persons chosen at the discretion of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to the Board being able to make provision for further or different purposes than Buy-back in respect of the approvals of the Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2024.

Maximum number of shares to buy and maximum amount allocated to the Programme

In view of the limits set by the aforementioned meeting resolution of 23 April 2024, the purchases of treasury shares must be made to such an extent that, at any time, taking into account the Tinexta ordinary shares held in the portfolio by the Company and its subsidiaries, those shares must not in total exceed 10% of the Company's current share capital, i.e. 4,720,712 shares. As of today, the Company holds 1,480,239 treasury shares, whilst the companies controlled by Tinexta hold none of its shares.

To execute the Programme, the Company therefore aims to purchase a maximum of 540,000 ordinary Tinexta shares. Taking into account the current listing of the Tinexta share (at the end of the Stock Exchange day on 13 May 2024, the potential maximum purchase disbursement for the transaction is estimated at approximately € 10 million .

How purchases can be made and purchase price

The Company mandated Banca IMI as an independent intermediary to carry out the Programme in full independence and in accordance with the constraints arising from applicable legislation and within the limits of the aforementioned resolutions.

The purchase transactions will be carried out in accordance with the principle of equal treatment of shareholders provided by Art. 132 of the Consolidated Finance Act, in any way in the manner referred to in Art. 144-bis of the Issuers' Regulations (also through subsidiaries), to be identified from time to time.

In addition, the purchase of shares may also be carried out in the manner envisaged by Art. 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2016/1052 in order to benefit – if the presuppositions

are in place – from the exemption under Art. 5, para. 1 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 on market abuse with regard to the abuse of inside information and market manipulation.

The purchase price of the shares will be determined from time to time for each individual transaction, provided that purchases will have to be made at a price per share that will not differ, nor decrease, or increase, by more than 10% compared to the reference price recorded by the stock in the trading session before each individual transaction and at a consideration that is not higher than the higher price between the price of the last independent transaction and the price of the highest current independent bid on the trading venue where the purchase is made.

Duration of the Programme

The purchases of treasury shares, in one or more tranches, must be made by 23 October 2025 and also on a revolving basis, i.e. within 18 months of the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution. The duration of the authorisation to the disposal of the relative shares is without a time limit.

The purchase of shares may in any case be partially implemented, interrupted and/or revoked at any time, except for the necessary timely communications to the market in the manner and according to terms provided for by the applicable regulations.

Further information

The Company may proceed without any time constraints to the acts of disposal within the limits of what is allowed and according to the laws and regulatory requirements and the permitted protempore practices in force, where applicable, and the Regulations issued by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., as well as in accordance with the authorisation resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2024, the objectives outlined above and with the Company's strategic guidelines that it intends to pursue. Any transactions made and the details will be communicated to the market in the terms and manner of the current regulations.
