Digital Trust 1Q'24

€ M

  • Revenues amounted to 51.3 million euros, up by 21.1% (+7.8% on a 2023 base) of which 13.2% attributable to the acquisition of Ascertia (which entered the Group's perimeter as of August 1 st , 2023)
  • Growth was mainly driven by LegalMail solutions for the Public Administration and large enterprises, LegalCert came strong in the transport sector, and the organic growth of both GoSign and Trusted Onboarding Platform solutions. International revenues grew considerably and now stand at 21.0% of total BU revenues vs 11.8% in PY
  • The BU continued the path of development, improvement, and adaptation of its products and solutions to regulatory and market needs. Investment activities continued to guarantee operational and organizational efficiencies, while maintaining product and financial performance

Cybersecurity 1Q'24

€ M

  • Revenues amounted to 23.9 million euros, growing 15.7%
  • Growth was registered in Cybersecurity mostly in the Implementation Services offer. Managed Security Service's results reflect new installments of Yoroi's CSDC and Swascan's SOC H24 (supported by the partnership with Google Cloud); Legal Mail continued to consolidate its sales growth with over 40,000 new subscriptions in 1Q'24
  • Implementation Services' results were mostly linked to security monitoring while Advisory continued its positive results momentum with the new Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Compliance services. In the Digital Transformation side of the business, the BU continued its initiatives on technological, process, and security innovation. Strong and positive signs came from the AML (Anti Money Laundering) sector as well as from the pipeline of our proprietary solution, Provisio

• Adjusted EBITDA at 2.3 million euros, with an increase of 10.1% and a margin of 9.7%, driven by a different revenue mix

Business Innovation 1Q'24

€ M

  • Revenues amounted to 25.1 million euros growing 4.4% vs PY because of a 7.1% decrease in organic and an increase of 11.4% due to acquisitions
  • The decrease in organic revenues is mainly attributable to the well-known decline in volumes and deductible rates relating to automatic subsidized finance services as well as lower sales in Training, Energy, Gas Credit, and Green. The Subsidized finance market has also been affected by the well-known reduction in rates relating to R&D Credit 4.0. The rephasing of the PNRR for "Transizione 5.0" – which will allow for deductible rates to be double (as high as 40%) – represents a strong growth opportunity. During 2024, further benefits relating to the "Register of Certifiers" are expected
  • ABF's 1Q performance reflects the very small component (around 5%) of expected annual revenues. Such performance in fact explains the marginality of the quarter which bares a lower absorption of costs

19 • Adjusted EBITDA at 1.2 million euros; such reduction is attributable to the combined effect of the decrease in profitability (due to lower rates) and different product mix, resulting from the growth in the weight of Digital services compared to automatic subsidized finance services (which carry a higher average industrial marginality)
