3 Business Units Deep Dive – Overview 1Q'22

INNOVATION & MKT SERVICES

Perimeter 2021 Δ Perimeter

3 Business Units Deep Dive – Digital Trust

  • Revenues amounted to 38.0 million euros (33.6 million euros on a 2021 base) increasing 21.8% vs 1Q 2021. (+7.7% on a 2021 base)
  • 1Q 2022 registered very interesting growth in terms of LegalMail sales (which is now enriched with cyber security features) and above than expected performance from the sale of SPID; ature, Onboarding and Identity services (GoSign and TOP) were all on track increasing the recurring revenue portion of the BU. Archiving and Invoicing products (mostly historical products) show signs of moderate and constant growth.
  • CertEurope started the year very well with strong revenues coming in from the sale of certificates and SignAPI (Application Programming Interface).
  • EBITDA Adjusted is equal to 10.4 million euros (8.6 million euros on a 2021 base). The increase is equal to 44.5% (19.4% on a 2021 base) showing the strong operational leverage of this business. EBITDA Adjusted margin at 27.3%, up from 23.0% of 2021.

3 Business Units Deep Dive – Cyber Security

  • Revenues amounted to 18.0 million euros increasing 7.1% vs 1Q 2021.
  • Business kicked-off the quarter well with good results from the system integration services side of the business as well as increased demand on the Legalmail Security Premium, the cyber-safe Electronic certified email jointly developed by InfoCert and Yoroi. In addition, the BU also carried out important product launches (Cyber Exposure Index, Kanwa, Cybersec.club) and services (SOC H24 and Defense Center).
  • EBITDA Adjusted was 1.2 million euros in line with expectations. The decline was attributable to the increased costs driven by the set-up of all activities for the newly established BU as well as increased commercial initiatives needed to strongly launch the new business proposals. The marginality is expected to reap the benefits of the investments (and therefore increase) in the quarters to come. The EBITDA Adjusted margin is equal to 6.5%.

3 Business Units Deep Dive – Credit Information & Management

  • Revenues amounted to 19.9 million euros with an increase of 5.6% vs PY. (-2.9% on a 2021 base)
  • The Business Unit was overall in line with our expectations with milder demand for services relating to the access of the Central Guarantee Fund vs PY (where demand was higher given the pandemic), appraisal real estate services – instead – were mostly in line with PY notwithstanding increased mortgage rates, lower renegotiations, and an overall reduced level of mortgages. The ForValue activities started according to expectations given the newly establish business division and are expected to ramp-up in the medium/long term thanks to the widespread network servicing most regions of Italy.
  • EBITDA Adjusted is equal to 4.7 million euros, the margin came in at 23.4%. The decline in EBITDA is attributable to the larger volume of sales relating to the Central guarantee fund registered during PY.

3 Business Units Deep Dive – Innovation & Marketing Services

  • Revenues amounted to 21.0 million euros (19.3 million euros on a 2021 base), increasing 30.0% vs 1Q 2021. (+19.4% on a 2021 base)
  • The start of the year was very strong both for Warrant that grew on subsidized finance, Patent Box, European Funding and Training and Co.Mark, which registered strong demand on Temporary Export Services notwithstanding the current international crisis.
  • Evalue started the year very well with sound operations in Spain and a good mix of sales mostly comprising of R&D credit.
  • EBITDA Adjusted is equal to 6.3 million euros (5.7 million euros on a 2021 base) while the margin is 30.2%. The increase compared to 1Q 2021 is equal to 27.1%. (14.2% on a 2021 base)
