Notes on Alternative Performance Measures

In compliance with the indications of the ESMA Guidelines on alternative performance measures (APM) (ESMA/2015/1415), implemented by CONSOB (see CONSOB Communication no. 0092543, 3 December 2015), it should be noted that the reclassified statements presented in this Director's Report on Operations show some differences in the terms used and in the degree of detail with respect to the official statements shown in the financial statements on the following pages and in the explanatory notes.

Specifically, the reclassified consolidated Income Statement makes use of the following terms:

• EBITDA, which is equivalent to "Total revenues" net of total operating costs in the official consolidated Income Statement.

• EBIT, which is equivalent to "Total revenues" net of total operating costs, depreciation, amortisation, and write-downs in the official consolidated Income Statement.

The reclassified consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared based on the items recognized as assets or liabilities in the official consolidated Balance Sheet and makes use of the following terms:

  • FIXED ASSETS, given by the sum of tangible, intangible fixed assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets/liabilities and other non-current assets.
  • NET WORKING CAPITAL, given by the sum of inventories, trade receivables/payables, current provisions, tax receivables/payables and other assets/liabilities and current receivables/payables.
  • CAPITAL EMPLOYED, given by the algebraic sum of fixed assets, net working capital and postemployment benefits and other non-current liabilities.

These APMs, in line with the data presented in the consolidated Income Statement and Balance Sheet in accordance with the recommendations outlined above, were deemed to be significant as they represent parameters that succinctly and clearly depict the Company's financial position and economic performance, also by providing comparative data. The APMs adopted are consistent with those used in the previous year.

Intangible assets increased from € 52.6 to € 54.3 million mainly due to the effect of the revised price estimate and consequent allocation to goodwill of the Novigo Consulting acquisition (€ 6.8 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to € 4.7 million at 31 December 2021), net of amortisation of the period (€ 0.5 million).

Tangible fixed assets of € 12.4 million, increased by € 0.3 million compared to 31 December 2021. The increase of the period is mainly due to investment after the depreciation of the period (€ 0.7 million).

Net Working Capital amounted to€ 16.9 million compared to € 24.2 million as at 31 December 2021. The change is € 7.3 million.

Consolidated shareholders' equity as at 31 March 2022 was € 94.8 million compared to € 92.7 million at December 2021. Changes during the quarter mainly concern the recognition of net profit 2021(€ 7.9 million), the net effect of the purchase and sale of treasury shares (€ 0.5 million).

Shareholders' equity attributable to minority interests as at 31 March 2022 of € 0.4 million related to the 49% minority interest in ReVersal S.p.A., not held by the Group.

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published on 4 March 2021 the Guidelines on disclosure requirements pursuant to EU Regulation 2017/1129 ("Prospectus Regulation").

With the "Recall of attention n. 5/21" of 29 April 2021, CONSOB declared its intention to bring its supervisory practices in relation to the net financial position into line with the aforementioned ESMA guidelines. In particular, CONSOB has declared that the prospectuses approved by it, starting from 5 May 2021, must comply with the aforementioned ESMA Guidelines.

Therefore, based on the new forecasts, listed issuers will have to submit, in the explanatory notes to the annual and half-yearly financial statements, published starting from 5 May 2021, a new prospectus on the subject of debt to be drawn up according to the indications contained in paragraphs 175 and following of the aforementioned ESMA Guidelines.

In this regard, the ESMA Guidelines provide for the following main changes to the debt prospectus: • we no longer speak of "Net financial position", but of "Total financial debt";

• in the context of non-current financial debt, trade payables and other non-current payables must also be included, i.e. payables that are not remunerated, but which have a significant implicit or explicit financing component (for example, payables to suppliers due after 12 months);

• in the context of current financial debt, the current portion of non-current financial debt must be indicated separately;

• "financial debt" includes remunerated debt (i.e., interest-bearing debt) which includes, among other things, financial liabilities relating to short- and/or long-term lease contracts. Information on lease payables must be provided separately.

The application of the ESMA Guidelines and the adoption of the new definition of "Total financial debt" resulted in a decrease in financial debt of € 7.5 million as at 31 March 2022.

    1. negative pledge commitments under which the company cannot create real rights of guaran-tee or other restrictions on company assets.
    1. "pari passu" clauses, on the basis of which the loans will have the same degree of priority in the repayment with respect to other financial liabilities and change of control clauses, which are activated in the event of disinvestments by the majority shareholder.
    1. limitations to the extraordinary transactions that the company can carry out, if exceeding certain thresholds.
    1. certain obligations for the issuer that limit, inter alia, the ability to pay particular dividends or distribute capital; to merge with or consolidate certain businesses; to dispose of or transfer its assets.

The measurement of financial covenants and other contractual obligations is constantly monitored by the Group.

The non-compliance with the covenants and the other contractual commitments, if not adequately corrected within the agreed upon time frame, may involve the obligation of an early repayment of the residual amount.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD AND OUTLOOK

In continuity with what was announced on March 11, 2022 on the occasion of the publication of the 2021 results, and as confirmed by the results of the first quarter of the current year, for 2022 TXT's objectives include sustained expansion in Europe and North America and the development of the large and diversified client base already acquired in the two current divisions as well as the new domestic and international clients acquired and to be acquired through the M&A plan executed in the previous three years and also planned for 2022.

In the industrial division (Aerospace, Automotive, etc.), after a first quarter 2022 that recorded a double-digit organic growth rate in all segments and a strong growth in the international business, the Group expects further business growth favored by i) the recovery in air traffic and the increasing attention and spending aimed at the sustainability issue in the civil aviation segment, ii) the acceleration of European defense programs and iii) the consolidation and integration of the IoT offer of German TeraTron within the Group's digital solutions portfolio. During the second quarter of 2022, the customer portfolio was expanded both in the civil aviation segment with the acquisition of new contracts with Deutsche Aircraft (supply of proprietary preliminary design and performance analysis tools) and with the leading European manufacturer of interiors for the aerospace industry (supply of cabin configuration tools), and in new segments such as the railway segment with the acquisition of a new contract from a leading OEM for the development and supply of training software systems.

For the Fintech Division - which includes the offer for the public administration - the plan to integrate the companies acquired in the last three years within the TXT offer is being successfully completed, with positive effects on the entire perimeter of the division, which already recorded organic growth of 17.8% in the first quarter of the year. In Q2 2022, new activities were launched on previously awarded public tenders; the division dedicated to software certification, testing and QA, strengthened with the acquisitions of Assioma and Quence in 2019 and 2021 respectively, won a tender worth around € 2.5 million over three years (TXT Group share) for the provision of specialized services to a leading Italian public body, while HSPI won new tenders in the field of digital transformation of public administration for over € 20 million over the next three years. In the segments related to proprietary fintech products, new customer projects were successfully launched for the initialization and full integration of the proprietary AML platform, with new recurring revenues from licenses expected in 2022 on completion of current projects. With regard to synergies from M&A, the know-how of the newly acquired Novigo Consulting is proving to be a strategic element in the planned technological upgrade of the Cheleo Suite proprietary solutions portfolio dedicated to the consumer credit, financial products and NPL management markets.

In the current global geopolitical environment marked by the military conflict in Ukraine, TXT's management and independent directors have not currently identified any near-term risks due to the TXT business' minimal and non-strategic exposure in the Russian and Ukrainian territories. TXT's management continually monitors the evolution of the conflict and related macroeconomic instability.
