Notes on Alternative Performance Measures
Pursuant to the ESMA guidelines on alternative performance measures ("APMs") (ESMA/2015/1415), endorsed by CONSOB (see CONSOB Communication No. 0092543 dated 3 December 2015), it should be noted that the reclassified statements included in this Directors' Report on Operations show a number of differences from the official statements shown in the accounting tables set out in the following pages and in the notes with regard to the terminology and the level of detail.
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 impairment in the official consolidated Income Statement.
The reclassified consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared based on the items recognised 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 and intangible 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 post-employment 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.

Directors' Report on Operations for the first 9 months of 2023
Dear Shareholders,
On 26 January 2023, the share capital increase in LAS LAB S.r.l. (LasLab) was subscribed, by virtue of which TXT holds a minority stake representing 33.0% of the share capital of the innovative startup.
LasLab was established in 2022 as an innovative start-up following the spin-off of the CAL LAS technological platform developed by Loan Agency Services S.r.l. (LAS S.r.l.), a leading non-banking operator in financial restructuring and support in the management of problematic loans (especially UTP). LAS S.r.l. is the majority shareholder of LasLab.
The CAL LAS application, the main and strategic asset of LasLab, consists of software for the advanced monitoring of loans, corporate bonds and other financial instruments, particularly effective for the management of complex and problematic loans, which has evolved over the years with increasingly broader and transversal functionalities, benefiting multiple credit sectors.
In evaluating the investment, TXT has identified several strategic aspects such as the significant technological contribution that TXT will make in the project to develop the proprietary software platform thanks to its proven long-term skills in the credit market developed by the companies of the TXT Novigo group, and the excellent multi-year forecasts on the problematic loan market (Stage2 and UTP) which already, starting from 2022, for the first time since 2019, recorded increasing volumes.
The investment contract in LasLab does not provide for any options to increase TXT's current shareholding of 33.0% but is aimed at providing specialised technological expertise for the credit reference market and maximising the return on investment against an exit-strategy that includes monetising the investment over a five-year period.
On 13 April 2023, the share capital increase in Simplex Human Tech S.r.l. ("Simplex") was subscribed, by virtue of which TXT holds a minority interest in Simplex representing 15.0% of the share capital. Simplex was established as a start-up as a result of the intuition of former managers from the banking and insurance sector with experience in senior roles in major national groups for the purpose of bringing digital innovation to the insurance sector, with a main focus on the Protection and Insurance Wealth Management sectors, through the implementation of a technology platform enabling the optimisation and total control of sales processes and the consequent drastic reduction of transactional costs.
The Simplex technological platform, which will be developed, maintained and upgraded by the TXT Group by leveraging the long-standing specialised and innovative skills of TXT Novigo, will consist of an integrated end-to-end platform which will be made available to the distribution networks, both direct and indirect, allowing the marketing of selected insurance products through the relationship with partner companies and the creation of a management and commercial model that complies with current regulations and is fully integrated with partner companies, with the possibility of expanding into national and international reference markets.

For the creation, maintenance and upgrade of the Simplex technological platform, TXT Novigo signed a contract with the start-up for the supply of services and software licenses for a total value of more than € 2 million for the next five years, excluding future extensions.
In assessing the investment, in addition to the return from the licenses of the platform provided to Simplex and its possible evolutions, TXT has identified several strategic aspects, such as the entry into the Insurtech market and the opportunity to play a primary role in the digitalisation of the sector Protection and Insurance Wealth Management.
On 1 July 2023, the merger between the companies of the Ennova Group, Smarteasy S.r.l. and Ennova Next S.r.l., became effective.
On 1 July 2023, the merger by incorporation between the two investee companies Mac Solutions SA and TXT e-Solutions Sagl, both wholly owned by the Parent Company TXT e-Solutions S.p.A., became effective. Therefore, through this transaction, the company TXT e-Solutions Sagl was merged into Mac Solutions SA, which also changed its company name to TXT e-Swiss SA.
On 1 July 2023, the reverse merger between QBRIDGE and PGMD Consulting S.r.l. became effective. Therefore, starting from that date, PGMD Consulting is 100% owned by TXT e-Solutions S.p.A.
On 11 July 2023, an agreement was signed for the acquisition of assets ("Asset Purchase Agreement" or "APA") belonging to the Embedded Graphics business of the companies Presagis Canada Inc., Presagis Europe S.A.S. and Presagis USA Inc. All these companies are subsidiaries of CAE Inc. ("CAE"), one of the largest Canadian companies, leader in the Aerospace & Defence sector. The conclusion of the transaction is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions set out in the APA and is expected in the third quarter of 2023.
The object of the investment is the activity relating to the Embedded Graphics business of Presagis, which consists of a portfolio of software solutions and services designed for onboard systems in the Aerospace & Defence market. Over the years, the EG business has established itself as a worldleading solution of tools and services for the development of human-machine interfaces (HMI) for safety-critical and mission-critical systems. The main family of products offered by the EG business is represented by VAPS XT, modular software launched on the market in 2011 and evolved over the years through continuous development and close collaboration with leading manufacturers of aircraft and avionics systems.
Today, the VAPS XT product line offers HMI designers, avionics system designers, embedded software engineers and certification specialists maximum control and flexibility for the creation of realtime interactive graphic displays for avionics with the highest standards certification, safety and cybersecurity. With an open architecture and integrated logic capabilities, VAPS XT provides the essential functionality for the design and implementation of certifiable avionics displays in a model-based environment that supports all development phases, from initial conception to implementation on embedded systems. VAPS XT also allows the generation of qualifiable code for the rapid development of certifiable software according to the DO-178C standard, supporting cutting-edge avionics standards such as ARINC 661.

The main assets of TXT's investment include the technology associated with the proprietary solution and contracts with the main players in the Aerospace & Defence market. The approximately thirty employees of the business acquired in Canada, USA & UK, are specialised technical resources and experienced commercial professionals, and will integrate the team of PACE specialists.
In evaluating the transaction, TXT identified significant technological and commercial synergies from the integration of the EG offer in the portfolio of Smart Solutions for the Aerospace & Defence market, already owned by the Group. The integration of the EG business in the TXT offer will be particularly advantageous for PACE Aerospace & IT GmbH, a TXT Group company that operates according to the same business model, and shares the customer base of the EG business. In addition, the investment is strategic for up-selling, cross-selling and geographical diversification opportunities and will be enhanced by TXT E-Tech's engineering and system integration services. TXT already provides these services on the national market and, by taking advantage of the specialised know-how and reputation of the Embedded Graphics business acquired, will scale up the offer of services at international level, responding to the needs of the vast customer base affected by the acquisition.

Intangible assets decreased from € 78 to € 77.9 million. The increases for the period (€ 2.8 million) were partially offset by amortisation for the period (€ 2.5 million). In addition, during the period, the PPA was carried out relating to the acquisition of DM Consulting, which led to the allocation of Software for € 0.7 million, Customer Relationship for € 0.2 million and Residual goodwill for € 1.5 million.
Tangible assets, of € 20.3 million, increased by € 2 million compared to 31 December 2022. The increases for the period (€ 6.8 million) were partially offset by depreciation for the period (€ 4.3 million) and by disposals (€ 0.6 million).
Other fixed assets of € 22.1 million increased from € 19.4 million in December 2022, mainly due to the recognition of investments held in associates. This item is mainly composed of the financial investment made in the previous year in the share capital of Banca del Fucino for € 16.5 million.
Net working capital amounted to € 37.7 million compared to € 36.8 million as at 31 December 2022. The change was € 0.9 million. There was an increase in inventories for work in progress for activities not yet invoiced to customers (€ 4.5 million) and various debts (€ 5 million), offset by effective credit recovery actions from important Italian customers in the aeronautics sector.
Liabilities arising from post-employment benefits and other non-current liabilities of Italian employees and other non-current liabilities of € 5.3 million are substantially in line with the values of December 2022.
Consolidated shareholders' equity as at 30 September 2023 was € 106.9 million, compared to € 109.4 million as at December 2022. Changes in the nine months mainly concern the recognition of net profit (€ 9.8 million), the net effect of the purchase and sale of treasury shares (€ 9.5 million), the distribution of dividends (€ 2.1 million).

Minority interests as at 30 September 2023 amounted to € 17 thousand, in line with the values of December 2022.
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 No. 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.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD AND OUTLOOK
In comparison to the first half of the year, the third quarter of 2023 showed a steady organic growth rate of the business and a marked improvement in operating margins. For the last quarter of 2023 and for 2024, TXT's management expects to maintain a sustained organic growth rate which, together with the streamlining of the organisational structure, will lead to year-on-year margin levels above 14%, in line with targets.
In the Smart Solutions division, the fourth quarter of the year will see the consolidation of the results of the Embedded Graphics business acquired on 29 September by the Presagis Group, controlled by CAE Inc. which, in addition to increasing the prestige and internationality of the TXT Group, will lead to the consolidation of more than €4 million in recurring revenue from licenses and maintenance related to the VAPS product, a leading platform in the avionics market for the development of human-machine interfaces (HMI) for safety-critical and mission-critical systems. In addition to the technological synergies and planned strategies to expand the use of VAPS in a multitude of markets, the TXT Group expects benefits from cross-selling specialised services and up-selling Smart Solutions on the various divisions of major blue-chip aerospace industries acquired with the Embedded Graphics business that expand the TXT Group's customer base.
With reference to the organic growth of the Smart Solutions business, management expects a fourth quarter of growth in line with the seasonality of the licensing business, and expects further growth in 2024, driven by the acquisition of important subscriptions contracts in both the wellestablished Aerospace & Aviation market and the Fintech market, which is in its expansion phase. With reference to the main contracts acquired during the period, in Aerospace & Aviation, reference should be made to the press release of 9 October 2023 regarding the multi-year subscriptions contract with an annual value of up to over \$1 million signed with the US airline JetBlue for the supply of the world-leading ESG platform in real-time route optimisation, while in Fintech, new contracts were acquired with leading national banking institutions, bringing the recurring subscription revenue backlog to a total value in the order of € 1.0 million for the supply of the AML Faraday platform, and further contracts in the consumer credit and digital payments market. In Industrial & Automotive, the MES software developed and marketed by the group company DM Management & Consulting was selected by a major retail player as an innovative solution for factory management.
In the Digital Advisory division, after a nine-month period that recorded sustained organic growth of 38.0% driven by the ramp-up, starting in Q4 2022, of activities related to the multi-year, multimillion dollar public tenders acquired by the Roman subsidiary HSPI, for the fourth quarter of this year and for 2024, the organic growth rate is expected to normalise in a range between 10-20% thanks to the ramp-up of activities on contracts already acquired and by leveraging new public contracts to be awarded in the near future through tenders for which the TXT Group, with its specialised expertise in the digital transformation of processes linked to public administration, is

strategically positioned. Following on from the first nine months of the year, the skills synergistically integrated into the Group's Digital Advisory offering as a result of the strategic acquisitions completed in Q4 2022 are driving the expansion of the offering into new segments; In particular, the Healthcare segment, where the integration of HSPI's and PGMD's competencies, the latter acquired in Q4 2022, are facilitating the awarding of new contracts in both the public and private healthcare sectors, and the Space segment, where the specialised cybersecurity governance competencies provided as part of the European space programmes are bringing benefits in terms of positioning the Group's Digital Advisory offering and in terms of the division's growth, also favouring its internationalisation and profitability.
In the Software Engineering division, which is the largest division in terms of volume, accounting for 67% of the Group's total revenues in the first nine months of 2023, synergies between the Group's various excellences operating in diversified markets are intensifying thanks to the trasversality of the technology services and digital transformation expertise provided. The growing demand for digital and emerging technologies both in markets historically covered by the TXT Group such as Fintech, Industrial & Automotive, and Aerospace, Defence & Aviation, with the latter recording a significant increase in international business, which grew by more than 30% compared to the first nine months of 2022 as well as in more recently penetrated markets such as the Public Sector and Telco & Gaming, are favouring the acquisition of important new contracts that will benefit the division's organic growth, which is expected to be around 10% for the fourth quarter of this year and for 2024. Major contracts already acquired during the current quarter that will drive the division's growth include new multi-year contracts acquired as part of major European defence projects for which TXT is positioned as a specialist in the supply of enabling and innovative technologies.
In relation to the M&A plan, after the first nine months of the year where there was a slowdown in the plan due to market contingencies, already in the fourth quarter of the year TXT Group aims to announce new strategic acquisitions to further strengthen the Smart Solutions portfolio and increase technological competences, and for 2024 TXT management considers it a priority to continue the M&A plan, with the aim of diversifying the offer and industry in the domestic market and strengthening core competences in the international market. The financing of the acquisition will be done through the cash already available in the TXT Group's coffers, the opening of new credit lines and through the use of treasury shares in the portfolio.
With reference to the current global geopolitical environment marked by increasing conflicts, inflationary pressure, still high interest rates and strong instability, the most recent analyses of TXT's management and board of directors confirm the results set out in the last half-yearly report, which reported risks that can be mitigated in the short term due to the marginal exposure of TXT's business in the territories affected by the current conflicts, and thanks to the Group's sustainable financial exposure. The TXT Board constantly monitors the risks related to the evolution of conflicts and macroeconomic instability.

Consequently, for the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, no third-party rights have been restated in the shareholders' equity with reference to said interests. However, these rights are recorded as liabilities with regard to potential payments, including contingent considerations, still to be made on the basis of the aforementioned option contracts.
