FY 2024 Business Highlights

  • Focus on the integration and reorganization of the Cybersecurity Business Unit following recent M&As

FY 2024 Business Highlights

2025 actions – Recovery after a challenging year

WHAT WENT WRONG IN 2024 2025 ACTION PLAN

ABF was strongly impacted by macroeconomic and country-specific downturns, leading to a very low performance

In-depth analysis of the order book, customer base, and clientele projects, with a close scrutiny of process application, cost analysis, and resource allocation

Slowdowns in Cybersecurity caused by the merger by incorporation of three acquired companies (Corvallis, Yoroi, Swascan), the different revenue mix, as well as lower operational efficiency in services

Improvement of services integration, optimization of proprietary vs third-party related services, and reorganization of the Sales and Operations departments

Business Innovation was mainly affected by delays in the implementation of Industry 5.0, lower deductible rates for Industry 4.0, and increase in revenues from lower margin activities

Integration of all business lines in a unique, leaner advisory framework, simplified organizational model focused on improved delivery, higher efficiency on employee responsibilities

Tinexta's central role as the core of the Group

Parent Company Tinexta acts as a provider of shared services for the Group's subsidiaries, steering away from the concept of "simple holding company"

"ONE GROUP" MODEL

Innovation

Fostering innovation and leveraging on capabilities across all business units, as well as monitoring market trends and opportunities

Advisory

Developing an advisory-based ecosystem under the Tinexta brand to satisfy the evolving needs of corporate customers of all sizes

Reach

Monitoring the market and leveraging on cross-Group synergies to reach segments with high growth potential (e.g., Public Administration)

Internationalization

Expanding into new markets to replicate Tinexta's business model, taking advantage of regulatory tailwinds and digital maturity stages across countries (especially in EU)

Integration & Synergies

Focusing on subsidiaries' integration and the rationalization of the single BUs to eliminate overlap and optimize efficiency, leveraging on synergies across businesses

One Group

Creating a unique identity as a leading player in the industry, with cross-functional business activities and an integrated strategy

FY 2024 – Business Units Overview1

GROUP

FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2023 FY 2024 Revenues EBITDA Adj.

22 (1) FY 2024 results include contribution from the acquisitions of: Ascerta Ltd and its subsidiaries ("Ascertia"), consolidated from August 1, 2023; Studio Fieschi consolidated from December 31, 2023; ABF Group SAS and ABF Décisions ("ABF") consolidated from January 1, 2024; Lenovys consolidated from April 1, 2024; Camerfirma Colombia SA consolidated from April 1, 2024; Warrant Funding Project consolidated from June 30, 2024; Defence Tech Holding ("DTH") consolidated from August 1, 2024

€ M

LFL 2023 Δ Acquisitions

  • Revenues amounted to 206.6 million euros, up by 13.7% (+ 8.3% on a 2023 basis), of which 5.4% attributable to the acquisition of Ascertia, consolidated as of August 1 st 2023 (change in perimeter related to the first 7 months of 2024), and Camerfirma Colombia, consolidated as of April 1 st 2024
  • Revenue growth in 2024 was mainly driven by the expansion of LegalMail sales (+ 14%), in particular in the Public Administration and Large-Corp segments, as well as the stable increase in sales of LegalCert solutions (+ 23%, including the organic growth of GoSign). Online sales went up 1.7%, at a lower pace vs previous years. In terms of Enterprise Solutions, the division maintained a steady level of growth for Trusted Onboarding Platform sales (+ 13%) due to recurring revenues from subscriptions and renewals, highlighting the low level of churn rate for DT products; increase of revenues from EU clients and from the higher consumption level of services for Business Information (+ 3%) and Telematic Transactions (+ 15%) also supported the positive trend
  • To support future development, the Digital Trust BU continues to invest (+ 60% in CapEx as a one-time peak) in product usability and integration and in the improvement and rationalization of its product and service platforms, also at an international level. A significant investment was made in the development of Generative AI-based solutions targeting the professional associations' segment

EBITDA Adj. at 65.1 million euros, up 19.4% (+ 14.0% on a 2023 basis), with EBITDA Adj. margin reaching its historical high (31.5%), confirming the BU's ability to increase operating leverage due to an efficient operating costs management, striving for continuous improvement

LFL 2023 Δ Acquisitions

  • Revenues amounted to 106.3 million euros, up 18.9% (+ 2.9% on a 2023 basis) of which 16.0% attributable to the acquisition of Defence Tech, consolidated as of August 1 st 2024
  • Revenue growth was mainly driven by the resale component of third-party products for Implementation Services (+ 49.4%), which also positively influenced the sale of Cyber & Digital Resilience solutions. Services experienced an overall contraction (- 8.3%) both in Digital (- 5.9%) and MSS & Advisory (- 11.5%), impacting profitability as result of lower efficiency. Proprietary products were up 38.9% driven by contracts signed within the Insurance and Banking sectors, as well as the sale of cybersecurity features within DT products (+ 20%)
  • The end of 2024 saw the continuation of the main programs for Defence, Space, and National Security. In this context, the acquisition of DTH represented the achievement of a strategic objective to increase the Group's brand awareness and actively participate in the technological development of key sectors at a national level. The implementation of the NIS2 directive – together with GDPR, DORA, and the Cyber Resilience Act – is expected to bring further increase in demand for DTH's products

€ M

LFL 2023 Δ Acquisitions

  • Revenues amounted to 151.7 million euros, up 15.8% mainly due to acquisitions (Studio Fieschi, ABF, Lenovys, and Warrant Funding Project) for a total of 26.9 million euros. The organic contraction (- 4.7%) was mostly driven by the Automatic Subsidized Finance business line (- 19.1%); Digital Services grew by 25.4%, while Export & Digital Marketing services (+ 1.1%) performed in line with the previous year. Revenues from companies in Spain and France increased by 2.0%
  • In 2024, the Italian subsidized finance market was negatively impacted by the well-known declining rates related to R&D Credit 4.0 and the unexpected delays in the implementation of the Industry 5.0 tax credit plan. Such new plan, now fully implemented, is expected to be a driving force for future growth, together with the new Patent Box (deductible rates up to 45%) and the implementation of the Italian Certification Register law
  • In France, the subsidized finance sector was negatively impacted by political turmoil, which led to delays in the award of existing public tenders and in the launch of new projects, as well as lower success rates for applications, and uncertainty relating to current budgets; this resulted in a major lower-thanexpected performance of ABF, which posted revenues of 18.8 million euros and an EBITDAAdj. of 3.1 million euros
  • EBITDA Adj. came in at 44.2 million euros. The organic contraction is due to the well-known decline in deductible rates, the delay of Industry 5.0, the lack of renewal of other facilitative measures (e.g., Gas & Green 110 Credit and others), and the increase in revenues from lower margin activities (e.g., Digital)

€ M
