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 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, the sum of inventories, trade receivables/payables, current provisions, tax receivables/payables, and other current assets/liabilities and sundry 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.

investment in the share capital of Banca del Fucino (€ 17.8 million) is classified in this category.

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 provisions, 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:

  • o we no longer speak of "Net financial position", but of "Total financial debt";
  • o 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);
  • o in the context of current financial debt, the current portion of non-current financial debt must be indicated separately;
  • o "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.

Net financial debt (availability) and cost of debt

Below is a summary of the main phenomena that had an impact on net financial debt, which as at 31 March 2024 was € 45.6 million (€ 51.7 million as at 31 December 2023):

In line with market practice, the loan agreements require compliance with:

    1. financial covenants based on which the company undertakes to comply with certain levels of financial indexes, contractually defined, the most significant of which relate the gross or net financial det with the gross operating margin (EBITDA) or the Shareholders' equity, measured on the basis of the consolidated scope of the Group according to the definitions agreed upon with the financing counterparties;
    1. negative pledge commitments under which the company cannot create real rights of guarantee 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. In particular, the financial covenants are measured on an annual basis as provided for contractually.

DISCLOSURE ON TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

No transactions outside the normal course of business were carried out with related parties.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD AND OUTLOOK

After a first quarter of the year in which the TXT Group recorded extraordinary organic growth rates well above the sector average, for the remaining nine months of the year the management of TXT expects the growth rates of the topline to stabilise at low-single digit levels, with positive effects on the Group's margins, which are expected to grow as early as the second quarter of the year.

In the Smart Solutions division, further growth is expected in the Aerospace & Aviation segment thanks to the ramp-up of new recurring subscription contracts acquired over the last two quarters, new software licence agreements, and the positive effects of the consolidation of the new HMI Embedded Graphics and AI-Based Training businesses acquired in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the other market segments, after a quarter of 2024 in which the Farday risk management platform more than doubled recurring business compared to the first quarter of 2023, for the remaining nine months of the current year we expect to see continued growth in recurring business, with healthy development prospects driven by new contracts with major domestic banks currently being negotiated.

In the Digital Advisory division in the current year and for 2025, organic growth rates are expected to stabilise at high but more sustainable values of around 15%, thanks to both the continuity of business on the contracts already acquired and to the ramp-up of activities on recently acquired multi-year contracts and that management expects to take over during the

second half year of 2024.

In the Software Engineering division, which represents the main division in terms of volumes, for 2024 the management of TXT expects continuity in the growth rates of the division recorded in previous years. Already during the current quarter, TXT is developing new growth opportunities both in the segments in which the Group is historically present and in segments reached in recent years through M&A that are benefiting from up-selling and cross-selling strategies and technological synergies.

In relation to the 2024 M&A plan, in line with previous announcements, the TXT Group plans to continue with its acquisition plan aimed at integrating new technologies, digital specialised skills and excellence in markets that are already proprietary or adjacent to the current ones.

In the current global geopolitical context, which has worsened since 2022, mainly due to the Russian military aggression in Ukraine, the escalation of the trade war between China and the US and the more recent military conflict between Israel and Hamas, which have led to significant macroeconomic uncertainty and inflationary pressure followed by an immediate rise in interest rates, the TXT Board of Directors has currently identified risks that can be mitigated in the short term due to the minimal and non-strategic exposure of the TXT business in the areas involved in the conflicts and thanks to a sustainable financial exposure. The TXT Board of Directors constantly monitors the risks linked to the evolution of conflicts and macroeconomic instability.
