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/li-

abilities 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.

Intangible assets were up sharply compared to the value as at 31 December 2023, mainly due to the provisional price allocation of the acquisitions of the IMILLE Group (€ 7.4 million) and Refine Direct (€ 23.2 million). The increases in the period, net of the provisional price allocation of the newly acquired companies, amounting to € 2.9 million, were partially offset by amortisation for the period (€ 3.6 million).

Tangible assets, amounting to € 22.5 million, increased by € 2 million compared to 31 December 2023. The increases for the period (€ 5.3 million) were partially offset by depreciation for the period (€ 4.8 million).

Other fixed assets of € 23.5 million recorded a slight decrease compared to € 24.1 million in December 2023, 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 € 17.8 million.

Net working capital amounted to € 54.5 million compared to € 39.8 million as at 31 December 2023. The change was € 14.7 million. There was an increase in inventories for work in progress for activities not yet invoiced to customers (€ 7.0 million), and in trade receivables (€ 11.1 million).

Liabilities arising from post-employment benefits and other non-current liabilities of Italian employees and other non-current liabilities stood at € 7.0 million, up compared to the value as at 31 December 2023 (€ 5.6 million) mainly due to the consolidation of new acquisitions.

Consolidated shareholders' equity as at 30 September 2024 was € 130.3 million, compared to € 113.9 million as at December 2023. Changes in the nine months mainly concern the recognition of net profit for the period (€ 12.0 million), the net effect of the purchase and sale of treasury shares (€ 7.6 million) and the distribution of dividends (€ 2.9 million).

Shareholders' equity attributable to minority interests as at 30 September 2024 amounted to € 49 thousand.

On 4 March 2021, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published 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:

  • 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.

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 30 September 2024 was € 79.3 million, € 51.7 million as at 31 December 2023.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD AND OUTLOOK

On 2 October 2024, TXT announced the acquisition of 100% of the capital of Focus PLM S.r.l., an Italian boutique specialised in the provision of engineering services and products in the field of factory digitalisation. Focus PLM was founded in Ferrara (Italy) in 2011 by the current directors and currently has about 15 highly specialised staff, with 2023 turnover of € 2.5 million, an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5%, and expectations of double-digit growth for the three-year period 2024-2027. The selling shareholders, currently directors and managers of Focus PLM, will remain with the company and the share acquisition agreement provides for retention, claw-back and earn-out clauses in their favour aimed at maximising the commitment of the selling shareholders and managers of Focus PLM to achieve the growth objectives shared with TXT management. The acquisition of Focus PLM represents a strategic investment that will strengthen the Software Engineering skills of the TXT Group for the Industrial and Manufacturing market, with the synergistic integration of the Focus PLM offer in the TXT ecosystem, that will expand the TXT consumer portfolio and lead to a broader range of solutions offered.

On 8 November 2024, TXT announced that it had signed the investment contract for the purchase from Genesy Group of 84.1% of the share capital of Webgenesys S.p.A., an ICT company founded in 2009 that today operates as a digital enabler, presenting itself as a driver of digital innovation primarily for Public Administrations. In recent years, Webgenesys S.p.A. has embarked on a path of accelerated growth favoured by the allocation of important public tenders that have brought the company's revenues from € 15 million in 2021 to € 37 million expected in 2024, with an EBITDA margin higher than 22% and strong growth prospects for the top line for the period 2025-2028, thanks to the over € 200 million of public tenders already awarded by Webgenesys and the backlog of orders, and technological and commercial synergies with the other first-rate entities of the TXT Group. The transaction also provides for co-investment by the "HAT Technology Fund 5", and the consideration for the acquisition of 100% of Webgenesys paid at closing to the shareholder Genesy Group, of which 84.1% by TXT and the remaining 15.9% by the "HAT Technology Fund 5", was agreed between the parties at € 63.0 million, net of the Earn-out and claw-back clauses provided for in

the investment agreement and linked to the EBITDA performance of Webgenesys in the period 2024-2028. The consideration that will be paid by TXT at closing amounts to € 53.0 million, of which € 37.3 million in cash (70.0%) and € 15.7 million in TXT shares (30.0%). The closing of the transaction, which is subject to the regulatory authorisation process, is expected by the end of 2024 and the results of Webgenesys will be consolidated in the Software Engineering division of TXT. With the consolidation of Webgenesys, the total value of the public tenders awarded by the TXT Group for the period 2025-2028 exceeds € 350 million, making the TXT Group one of the future key players of the reference market.

In relation to the organic growth of the business expected for the fourth quarter of the year, TXT management expects further double-digit growth, albeit with rates slightly down compared to the first nine months of the year, mainly driven by the digital offer in the Aerospace & Defence and Public Sector markets. For the fourth quarter of 2024, TXT management expects an improvement in margins (EBITDA margin) compared to the first nine months of the year, with the EBITDA margin on an annual basis down slightly compared to the guidance provided at the beginning of the year. The effect of the organic growth of the top line, which outperformed the guidance at the beginning of the year, will bring EBITDA levels to above the target values. With reference to cash generation, after a third quarter that recorded a slowdown in cash conversion, the fourth quarter is expected to improve.

The offer for the MarTech market launched during the current year following the acquisitions of the I MILLE and Refine Group is generating value thanks to the synergies and strategic positioning of the TXT Group on large customers, while in the context of the offer of Smart Solutions for Aerospace, the consolidation of ProSim is enhancing the Group's offer for the Training & Simulation segment, with positive forecasts for the fourth quarter and for the following three-year period thanks to the potential of the new innovative solutions developed during 2024. In the Industrial & Automotive segment, which over the last twenty-four months has grown at reduced rates compared to the TXT Group average, with the integration of Focus PLM announced at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Group expects a slight acceleration of the synergistic growth of the business incorporating innovative services and solutions for factory digitalisation.

In relation to the 2024 M&A plan, after the investments already made for the opening of the Mar-Tech offer and planned for the investment in Webgenesys, the TXT Group will continue its acquisition plan focusing on strategic investments in technologies and skills which complement current ones with attention to their financial sustainability.
