Renato Brunetti, Chairman and CEO of Unidata, stated: "The results of the first quarter confirm the validity of the strategy focused on services, with a positive impact on margins and a robust cash generation that has improved the NFP.

the assignment of the design, construction and management of remote reading networks based on LoRaWan® technology. On the joint venture front, however, we are satisfied with the continuation of the activities for laying the Unitirreno cable, which began inFebruary with the Fiumicino milestone and continued with the Olbia and subsequently Mazara del Vallo stages. This infrastructure aims to connect the north and south of Italy, offering an innovative alternative to traditional data transit routes through Marseille and, in addition to meeting national needs, the project is a candidate to become a digital corridor between Europe and Africa, responding to the growing demand for connections also on the African continent. As for Unifiber, we have recently concluded a strategic transaction with the consolidation, within a single corporate structure, Unifiber Italy, of the Unifiber and ClioFiber projects, marking an important step in our consolidation path in the digital infrastructure sector. Finally, we hope that the coming months will allow us to further improve our performance and seize new opportunities".
