CEO'S letter to the Stakeholders

2022 was a year of growth for the Group as we strengthened both our operations and financial position, achieving better than expected results and demonstrating Webuild's resilience in a very complex scenario. Only a very solid group like ours could deliver more than 270 projects and be awarded another 290 in the space of ten years.

We took on challenges, cultivated opportunities and minimised risks as part of a clear-sighted business plan drawn up ten years ago. Our objectives have been to grow in scale, focus on our core business, bid for projects that are both sustainable and beneficial to the local communities, and invest continuously in safety for our people and those of our partners. Webuild's size makes it a strategic sector player.

Our achievements are the result of a cohesive team, one of the most competent in the world: our people and thousands of companies along the value chain who have together systematically transformed the entire sector. Webuild currently has a workforce of more than 83,000 direct and indirect workers of over 100 nationalities and it works with 17,500 partners.

We are working with these partners to develop an increasingly safety-oriented culture, including by using innovative technologies that we invest in. We look beyond the numbers in the pursuit of an ingrained safety culture.

In 2022, we are proud to celebrate the realisation of a blueprint designed a decade ago, achieved in a challenging and complicated period with geopolitical and trade ruptures, persistent inflation and soaring energy prices, costpush inflation and intensifying trends, starting with those linked to climate change, the energy transition, demographic growth in some areas of the world, the rise of increasingly large cities, and the search for a new liveability in advanced smart cities. Global growth, bolstered principally by national plans to support infrastructure projects, the energy transition and digitalisation, is expected to have been 3.4% in 2022, a slowdown on 6.2% for the previous year.

Outside Italy, whose recovery plan is driving part of the large transport projects, infrastructure investments continue to be mostly concentrated in the United States, Australia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, where the construction markets' growth will exceed their countries' GDP in 2023. Webuild has a strong foothold in these areas which it intends to maintain and consolidate, especially on its home ground.

Thanks to the acquisition of Clough's assets in Australia early in 2023, we are now an even more cohesive, larger and stronger Group. Our integration with companies like Clough, Astaldi, Seli Overseas, Cossi and Lane gives us a sharper competitive edge on international markets, as a result of the new skills they bring. The transaction with Clough is a landmark step forward in a country which is our second most important market after Italy and where we employ around 3,000 people.

Despite this challenging period, we met and outperformed all our targets. We exceeded the 2021 record of new orders, continuing to successfully win new contracts, worth more than €16 billion in 2022, a sign of our robust competitiveness. These are quality orders of which more than 80% are located in low-risk markets. In addition, 2022 revenue exceeds €8 billion, the order backlog is in excess of €53 billion and EBITDA stands at €572 million.

The new orders, either confirmed or for which we are preferred bidders, reflect the Group's de-risking strategy with preference for contracts in low-risk areas such as Italy, Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia, as well as its focus on business segments tied to advancement towards the Sustainable Development Goals. These contracts include iconic and challenging works such as the building of a road and bridge system between Bergen and Sotra Island in Norway, construction of the A303 trunk road in the United Kingdom to protect Stonehenge from traffic congestion and pollution and the Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport Line Project in Australia. In Italy, Webuild has been awarded the contract for the Enna - Dittaino section of high-capacity Palermo - Catania railway line among other railway works as well as the Genoa breakwater, a landmark work of great engineering complexity.

We will continue to focus on our core segments, principally sustainable mobility (metros, high-speed railway lines and roads) and hydroelectric infrastructures as part of our commercial strategy while also closely

monitoring the touted investments in sea transport (international projects worth an estimated €200 billion in 2023 and 2024 alone), information systems (data centres) (potential projects of €113 billion in the same two years around the world), water and waste treatment plants (potential international projects of €20 billion in the same period), including through the subsidiary Fisia.

In the last year, we have delivered infrastructure in the sustainable mobility, green buildings and water sectors, including the first six stations of the M4 Line of the Milan Metro and the NATO base in Sigonella in Italy, Perth Airport Line in Australia, and Parc du Simplon (an urban requalification project in Renens, Lausanne) in Switzerland.

We have pursued our mission to design and build works that improve the lives of people now and in the future together with our clients and partners. As part of the more than 150 projects underway around the world, we work with thousands of large and small companies, generating spin-off value for the local areas in terms of their development, employment and through our investments in innovation, safety and sustainability.

In 2022, we have continued to invest in training and upskilling our white collar employees through the management academy. We also opened our trade school, Scuola di Mestieri, with three pilot projects. In addition, we started to plan an Academy to attract, introduce, train and cultivate those professionals that Webuild will need in the coming years.

We also continued to invest in programmes to attract young people (under 35s), who made up 44% of our workforce in 2022. We carried out a number of employer branding initiatives with our Webuild Next-Gen programme, engaged in strategic partnerships with Italian and international universities and tailored projects like the Alberto Giovannini Award (for which candidates may now be proposed for the second edition). We carried on with our research activities, including through our joint project with the Genoa University, UniWeLab, whose second year research programme is on the digitalisation of infrastructure.

With respect to safety in 2022, the Group achieved the injury reduction rate target set in its ESG Plan of 40% less than the 2017 baseline. We provided more safety training, with an increase of around 50% on the prior year hours. We also relaunched the internal safety communication initiative, Safety Builders, which involved around 500 managers who attended safety leadership workshops (roughly 70% more than in 2021).

We continued our environmental sustainability journey, stepping up our energy efficiency projects designed to reduce our CO2 emissions (by setting up environmentally sustainable work sites for new projects) and rolling out training courses on decarbonisation and the circular economy with the Turin Polytechnic.

This year has seen us increasingly committed to our innovation plan, enriched with solid new projects such as Connected Webuild, a long-term digital transition programme based on the application of the major disruptive technologies currently available (robotics, artificial intelligence, digital twins, blockchains, etc.).

Our scale has made it necessary to strengthen the Group's leadership position in the construction sector in Italy and strategic areas abroad (chiefly Australia and the United States, through dedicated strategic communication plans) and to closely monitor reputational risk. All internal and external communication tools have been upgraded to ensure transparent communications with important local stakeholders (including by placing webcams in our work sites) and internal stakeholders to ensure concordance about our business objectives.

Intense integration activities were undertaken in 2022 to align subsidiaries' organisations and processes with those of the headquarters in order to achieve a standard group model. This project was reinforced by a strategic internal communication plan to encourage the melding of different organisational cultures and to engage our people in doing this.

2023 promises to be another year full of challenges and opportunities which we intend to rise to in the spirit of providing maximum satisfaction to our internal and external stakeholders. We will act with the same determination as in 2022 as an increasingly cohesive team, welcoming our new colleagues that have joined the Group.

We intend to pursue a new business and capitalism model, hinging on sustainability principles, which we will achieve by leveraging our mutually-beneficial partnerships with clients and suppliers that we have successfully

put in place around the world and at home. Our model is inspired by a vision of shared, long-term growth that our main stakeholders (shareholders, employees, clients, local communities and regulators) expect of us.

And we will make sure that you are not disappointed.

Webuild Group

Who we are

Webuild is a global construction operator specialised in building large complex infrastructure for the sustainable mobility, hydropower, water and green buildings sectors. Market leader in Italy and one of the main players on the international stage, the Group supports its customers in pursuing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Recognised by Engineering News-Record (ENR) as the top contractor in the world in the water infrastructure sector (dams and hydropower plants, water treatment plants, desalination and wastewater, hydraulic works and drinking water and irrigation water reservoirs), the Group is also a global leader in sustainable mobility (metros and railways, roads, motorways, bridges, ports and sea works) as well as one of the top 10 contractors in the environment sector.

At 31 December 2022, the Group has an order backlog of €53.4 billion (including approximately €44 billion for construction contracts) and revenue of €8.2 billion4 . 92% of the construction backlog is tied to achievement of the SDGs.

It works in around 50 countries focusing on its operations in Italy, Europe, North America and Australia.

2022 revenue by geographical area

The project to consolidate the Italian construction sector, Progetto Italia5 , was completed in 2022 with achievement of all the set objectives.

The completion of Progetto Italia has created important benefits not only for Webuild but also for the entire country and many stakeholders:

  • - the economy/the country, helping to preserve 300/400 thousand jobs, improving the quality of Italy's infrastructure and the health and safety and sustainability (ESG) standards of works, thanks to the creation of a more competitive partner, well-placed to efficiently deliver quality projects;
  • - the construction sector with its value chain of SMEs;
    • reinforcing the sector, in which roughly 60% of companies similar to Webuild have been forced to close or have become financially distressed in the period between 2004 and 2018;
    • supporting the Italian supply chain around 10,000 companies have worked with Webuild in Italy on its various projects;
    • protecting the non-replicable skills of those companies that were at risk of leaving the market which have been saved and revitalised by their involvement in the development of large projects.
  • - the banking system:
    • reversing the deterioration in the sector's credit quality: at the start of the Project, sector companies were exposed for approximately €90 billion, of which €20 billion was already non-performing;
    • reviving the performance bond market in Italy (greater volumes and lower risk thanks to the improved strength of the remaining market operators).

In 2022, Webuild also achieved robust results in terms of new orders of approximately €16.1 billion in strategic geographical areas such as Australia, Europe and the United States during the year. It also continued to work on its key projects in Italy, most of which are funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The Group continues to prioritise sustainability, focusing on infrastructure for sustainable mobility and climate change. It successfully placed a new sustainability-linked bond issue of €400 million in the first quarter of the year, demonstrating its commitment to fully integrate sustainability into its business and financial strategies. The new issue is linked to achievement of a 50% reduction in the Group's carbon intensity emissions (scope 1 & 2) by 2025, thus contributing to progress towards the United Nations SDGs. The issue was oversubscribed by more than 2.2 times for orders received of approximately €900 million, with significant interest from Italian and international investors, mostly based in the UK, Germany and France.

Roadmap

The 2023-2025 business plan represents consolidation of a new phase for the Group. Thanks in part to the acquisitions made in recent years as part of Progetto Italia to shore up the Italian construction sector, supported by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and some of the country's major banks, and the recent acquisition of Clough in Australia, the Group has reached a level of scale, skills and technologies that allows it to achieve more ambitious goals. Webuild intends to cultivate its role as partner to its clients in their climate and energy transition, taking on the challenges posed by the ongoing global megatrends, such as climate change, demographic growth, urbanisation and water scarcity.

The business plan levers three drivers: i) business growth, ii) operating efficiency and cash generation, and iii) investments in safety, innovation and the environment for a more sustainable business.

Webuild's key markets have enormous commercial potential linked to the programmes for investments in infrastructure and large works, such as Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Similar programmes exist in Australia and the United States, which have both earmarked large investments for the infrastructure sector and where Webuild has a local base with its subsidiaries Clough and Lane, respectively.

The Group is also pursuing opportunities deriving from new market segments of the energy transition and sustainable agriculture, such as for example the production of fertilizers (urea), transmission lines and renewable energy sources, leveraging the technical skills recently acquired with Clough.

The Group's commitment to continuously improving the occupational health and safety of its people is pivotal to its strategy. It invests steadily in programmes designed to promote a safety culture in all its work places, such

as the award-winning Safety Builders Program, which involved 10 thousand people at its work sites in the first half of 2022. The Group is also accelerating the development of innovative solutions capable of improving – through the ever more embedded use of technology – the safety of plants, machinery and work areas more at risk, which it does with new immersive learning methods using 3D virtual reality simulators.

Turning to protection of the environment, Webuild has continued its decarbonisation journey. During the 2019- 2022 three-year period, it decreased its GHG emissions by 336 thousand tonnes, including both emissions from activities performed in the work sites and offices (scope 1 & 2) and the emissions of its supply chain (scope 3).

Webuild has set itself the following climate action targets:

  • reduction of its carbon intensity emissions (scope 1 & 2) by 50% by 2025 compared to the 2017 baseline;
  • reduction of its absolute scope 1 & 2 emissions and scope 3 emissions by 47% and 15%, respectively, by 2030 compared to the 2019 baseline; these targets have been validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi).

Core business: Our performance in the business areas linked to market trends

Webuild has a privileged position in the infrastructure sector as it is one of the few global operators with a strongly SDG-oriented core business directed towards the development and building of infrastructure that directly contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and transition to a low-carbon economy.

Ongoing or completed projects of 2022 in the sustainable mobility sector accounted for 62% of contract revenue and 75% of the construction order backlog.

Ongoing clean hydro energy projects contributed 20% to contract revenue and make up 14% of the construction order backlog.

Completed or ongoing clean water projects made up 6% of contract revenue and 2% of the construction order backlog in 2022, while green building projects accounted for 4% of contract revenue and 1% of the construction order backlog.

The majority of the Group's projects are eligible under the EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities as they make a significant contribution to mitigation and/or adaptation to climate change. Specifically, its railway, metro, light rail, hydropower and water projects in general, along with some high-performance buildings and certain road projects contribute to mitigation of climate change (i.e., the reduction of GHG emissions) while hydraulic projects mostly contribute to the adaptation to climate change (i.e., the reduction of infrastructure's vulnerability to climate change effects).

Webuild is one of the key global operators in the urban (metros and light rail) and non-urban (high speed railways) sustainable mobility sectors as well as in the land transport (roads and motorways), sea (ports and navigable channels) and air (airports) infrastructure sectors.

The Group has built 14,118 km of metros and railway lines, 82,509 km of roads, 1,018 km of bridges and viaducts and 3,396 km of tunnels and underground works.

It has constructed some of the largest metros in the world like those in Riyadh, Doha, Copenhagen, Paris, Milan and Rome, high-speed railways in Italy, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Turkey and the US, and unique works like the new Panama Canal, which has enabled post-Panamax ships to cross the American continent since 2016 rather than going around it, leading to an approximate 16 million tonne reduction in CO2 emissions a year.

The Group continued to focus on the sustainable mobility sector, which is one of the most promising business areas for the next few years. It is expected that passenger traffic alone will grow by 50% within 2030, to then double by 2050, while only 16% of global urban travel currently takes place using public means of transport6 .

The transport sector accounts for two-thirds of global oil consumption and continues to be the fastest growing source of GHG emissions7 .

Rail transport is pivotal to government plans to counter climate change. The Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy announced by the European Commission at the end of 2020 includes doubling the high speed rail traffic by 2030 while high speed railway lines could double by 2035, to span 100,000 km worldwide8 .

The role played by the metro systems in urban centres is equally important in terms of a reliable, accessible service to all population brackets, safety and reduced pollution. Metro systems exist in around 180 cities, transporting more than 50 billion people a year and keeping the equivalent of 133 million vehicles off the roads each day9 .

The metro projects under construction alone will allow the fast, efficient and sustainable transportation of roughly 5.3 million people a day on state-of-the-art infrastructure, avoiding emissions of around 3 million tonnes of CO2 a year. The high-speed railway projects will shorten travel times by an average of 50%, providing around 37 million people with safe, rapid and low-carbon services. In fact, rail transportation services generate emissions up to one eighth of those of the most environmentally-friendly cars and up to one ninth of the most efficient aircraft. The ongoing railway projects will lead to an annual reduction in emissions of about 9.3 million tonnes of CO2.

Road infrastructure works will continue to be fundamental to move goods and people both in the developed economies (where the focus is mainly on modernisation and traffic decongestion) and low-income countries (where around one billion people still lack access to an all-weather road)10 .

The Group is the main player in the global hydropower sector and has been acknowledged as a sector leader by ENR for five years with a track record of 313 plants built in five continents for installed capacity of 52,900 MW (completed and ongoing projects).

Webuild has strong experience in the various construction methods (concrete, RCC and loose materials) and environmental contexts as it has carried out projects at all latitudes in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. It always complies fully with the applicable environmental and social standards.

Hydropower is the largest source of renewable energy in the world, providing around 70% of all renewable electricity worldwide11. The energy sector accounts for about 60% of the world's GHG emissions12, with 759 million people still without access to electricity13 .

Hydropower's great reliability and flexibility are key to the global energy transition as it can balance and stabilise the energy injected into the grid by other intermittent renewable sources like wind and solar power.

Hydropower is one of the renewable sources with the lowest unit cost, which makes it particularly suitable for those areas of the world where most of the population still does not have electricity, like some of the emerging economies.

The active hydropower plants make it possible to avoid emitting four billion tonnes of GHG and 150 million tonnes of atmospheric pollutants (e.g., PM) a year14. IRENA (the International Renewable Energy Agency) estimates that the installed hydropower capacity needs to be increased by 25% by 2030 and by 60% by 2050 to keep the increase in the global temperature to below 2°C. This could create up to 600 thousand new jobs over the next decade15 .

The ongoing hydropower projects will have capacity of more than 14,000 MW and will provide low-cost clean energy to the equivalent of over 23 million residents around the world, especially in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia and surrounding countries), Central Asia (Tajikistan and adjacent countries) and Australia. This should avoid emissions of roughly 13 million tonnes of CO2 a year.

The Group is a global leader in the water infrastructure sector and active in the entire water cycle, from supply to drinking water to irrigation and the final treatment of wastewater.

Thanks to the group company Fisia Italimpianti, which leads the desalination, drinking water and water treatment sector, the Group is a strategic partner for public and private sector customers in areas subject to water stress like the Middle East where it builds essential water infrastructure for millions of people. Webuild also has immense experience in building water storage for drinking water and/or irrigation, environmental recovery projects and works to upgrade urban wastewater management infrastructure to make it more resilient to the increasingly frequent extreme weather events, protecting areas affected by flooding and preventing the pollution of the receiving water bodies.

The efficient management of water is one of the principal global challenges, especially given that the effects of climate change are happening faster than expected. Around 2.3 billion people live in areas subject to water

stress, 2 billion people do not have access to drinking water, 3.6 billion to modern sanitation services16 and 80% of water discharges are released into the environment without proper treatment17 .

Every day, more than 20 million people are served by just the plants built by Fisia Italimpianti while another approximate 16 million people will benefit from the hydraulic infrastructures currently being built by the Group.

The Group has built dozens of civil, institutional, commercial, industrial, cultural, public health, sporting and religious buildings. It has extensive experience in Eco-design & Construction systems, which allow a reduction in the works' environmental footprint over their life cycle.

Its projects include iconic works such as the Stravos Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre in Athens, the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha, the new ENI offices under construction in San Donato Milanese (Milan) and many hospitals built according to the most advanced environmental and sustainability criteria.

The sustainability of buildings is key to the future of urban areas, where 70% of the world's population will live by 205018 and which are already highly polluted and subject to environmental stress with the related fall-out on the health of residents and public finances. Estimates indicate that 90% of the global urban population breathes air of a quality below the standards set by the World Health Organisation19 .

The construction of green buildings, i.e., buildings with certifiable sustainability valuation systems (e.g., Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design - LEED) allows both a reduction in the environmental footprint during construction, thanks to the use of low-environmental impact raw materials and optimisation of production and logistics processes, and maximisation of the building's environmental performance during its lifetime as a result of lower energy and water consumption and less emissions.

The environmental advantages of using Eco-design & Construction systems are measured by comparing them to environmental performances obtained using standard design and construction methods. The Group has found that green buildings generate lower environmental impacts of between 30% and 50%, which can increase if onsite energy generation systems using renewable sources are used. This is one of the reasons why the Group's projects have garnered important accolades at international level for their innovative and environmental sustainability characteristics.

Expertise and innovation

The large complex infrastructure sector the Group works in requires niche skills to guarantee the customisation of the processes, techniques and technologies deployed depending on the nature of the works to be performed. Each project is unique and requires the development of bespoke solutions achieved thanks to highly specialised know-how.

Webuild's track record of thousands of works successfully built around the world testifies to its high level of expertise. The Group considers investments in employee upskilling and training and innovation as the main levers in its long-term sustainable growth.

The rapidity of global changes and swift development of technological innovation make it essential to meld the Group's skill set with best-in-class innovative technologies and processes to hone its competitive edge.

Innovation is a strategic tool that improves skills and processes and is an area in which the Group plans to increase its investments. It contributes to making core processes more efficient, ensuring greater optimisation of the times and costs to perform the works and the support processes. It also assists the Group's social and environmental performance because it translates into an improvement in safety conditions and a reduced impact on the environment, and, thus, on the communities where the Group operates.

Research, development and innovation initiatives take place at project and corporate level. They involve the Group's technical departments and its partners (suppliers, professionals, universities and research centres) in the development of innovative solutions to improve internal processes and develop tailored projects to meet customers' requirements right from the bidding phase. Innovation at corporate level mostly relates to the optimisation of governance, organisation and management of operations.

During the 2018-2022 five-year period, Webuild has invested on average around €23 million per year in innovation, research and development activities for a total of more than €118 million and an average annual involvement of circa 380 specialised employees. More information on these activities performed and planned is available in the Consolidated Non-financial Statement.

Sustainability

The principles of sustainable development are disseminated through the Group, both at core business and internal process level, as shown by Webuild's sustainability strategy, which identifies the sustainability of its projects and its work sites as the two cornerstones underpinning the Group's dedication and reputation.

In addition to developing works that contribute to the sustainable development of the communities where they are built, Webuild has a coordinated framework of management policies and systems designed to ensure compliance with the highest ethical, integrity, social, environmental and governance principles as well as transparency and stakeholder engagement.

The Group's sustainability priorities and targets are formalised in its 2021-2023 ESG plan, which has three areas of intervention: Green Builders, focused on the fight against climate change and promotion of the circular economy, "Safe and Inclusive Builders", focused on the health and safety of its workers and the enhancement of diversity, and "Smart and Innovative Builders" focused on innovation as a strategic driver for sustainability and the improvement of business efficiency.

Milestones achieved in 2022

Key milestones of the year

Order backlog

In 2022, the total order backlog amounts to €53.4 billion, including €44 billion for construction contracts and €9.4 billion related to concessions and operations & maintenance projects. The order backlog has increased by more than 15% on 2021.

92% of the construction backlog is tied to achievement of the SDGs. Webuild has continued its geographical de-risking strategy and most of its contracts are based in Italy, central and north Europe, the United States and Australia (76% of the total construction order backlog). They are mainly in segments linked to sustainable mobility, such as high-speed, the railway sector and the road sector. A breakdown of the total order backlog by geographical areas and of the construction backlog by business area is as follows:

Total new orders acquired, including change orders, approximate €16.1 billion, of which more than 80% in key low-risk geographical areas.

Since the start of 2023, new orders (including projects for which Webuild is the preferred bidder) are worth approximately €4.1 billion.

The order backlog shows the amount of the long-term construction and concession contracts awarded to the Group, net of revenue recognised at the reporting date. The Group records the current and outstanding contract outcome in its order backlog. Projects are included when the Group receives official notification that it has been awarded the project by the customer, which may take place before the definitive and binding signing of the related contract.

The Group's contracts usually provide for the activation of specific procedures (mainly arbitrations) to be followed in the case of either party's contractual default.

The order backlog includes the amount of the projects, including when they are suspended or deferred, pursuant to the contractual terms.

The value of the order backlog decreases:

  • when a contract is cancelled or decreased as agreed with the customer;
  • in line with the recognition of contract revenue in profit or loss.

The Group updates the order backlog to reflect amendments to contracts and agreements signed with customers. In the case of contracts that do not have a fixed consideration, the related order backlog reflects any contract variations agreed with the customer or when the customer requests an extension of the execution times or amendments to the project that had not been provided for in the contract, as long as these variations are agreed with the customer or the related revenue is highly probable.

The measurement method used for the order backlog is not a measurement parameter provided for by the IFRS and is not calculated using financial information prepared in accordance with such standards. Therefore, the calculation method used by the Group may differ from that used by other sector operators. Accordingly, it cannot be considered as an alternative indicator to the revenue calculated under the IFRS or other IFRS measurements.

Moreover, although the Group's accounting systems update the related data on a consolidated basis once a month, the order backlog does not necessarily reflect the Group's future results, as the order backlog data may be subject to significant variations.

The above measurement method differs from the method used to prepare the disclosure on performance obligations yet to be satisfied in accordance with IFRS 15 as set out in the note 33 to the consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the main contract revenue included in the order backlog and not considered in the notes includes:

  • revenue from concession contracts as it is earned mainly by equity-accounted investees;
  • revenue from the non-subsidiary joint ventures of Lane Group measured using the equity method;
  • income from cost recharges attributable to non-controlling members of Italian consortia classified as "Other income";
  • contracts signed with customers that do not meet all the criteria of IFRS 15.9 at the reporting date.

Performance by geographical area

Macroeconomic factors of 2022

After a strong recovery in the global economy in 2021, 2022 was marked by a number of extraordinary factors with few historical precedents, namely the global fight against inflation, the war in Ukraine and the new waves of Covid in China, which all adversely affected economic activity. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that global growth, bolstered mainly by the national plans to promote the development of infrastructure projects, the energy transition and digitalisation, was around 3.4% in 2022, down on the 6.2% of 2021.

The economy's rebound in 2021 was accompanied by serious cost-push inflation, mainly caused by the hike in energy and commodities prices as well as disruptions to the supply chain, which were amplified by the war in Ukraine.

Crude oil prices peaked at nearly USD128 per barrel in March (+65% on the start of the year), reflecting fears of disruptions to global exports. Concerns about supplies in Europe drove up natural gas prices as well. Russia, which is Germany and Italy's main gas supplier, cut its exports to Europe by around 80% in September 2022 compared to the previous year. Gas futures listed on the Dutch TTF market jumped 159% from February to August 2022 to record highs. Moreover, the global supply chain, which had already been weakened by the increase in the cost of the main commodities, was impacted by the ongoing waves of Covid in some of the exporter countries like China.

As a result, inflation in the advanced economies soared to its highest rate of the last 40 years in 2022, exceeding 10% in October before decreasing to 9.2% at year end in the Euro area. Italy was one of the countries worst affected by the price hikes with inflation at 12.3% at year end. After peaking at almost 9% in June, inflation levelled out at 6.5% at year end in the United States.

The response of the main central banks was to curb monetary stimulus and increase interest rates. The Federal Reserve raised its rates to 4.75%, the highest since 2007. The European Central Bank (ECB) also increased its rates, returning to positive territory (2.5%) after ten years below zero.

The financial market has not remained unscathed by these extraordinary factors. Interest rates on corporate and government bonds rose with the yield on the 10-year Italian treasury bonds (BTP) exceeding 4%. During the year, the FTSE MIB lost around 15%, the Stoxx 600 nearly 13% while the loss in market capitalisation on the Nasdaq exceeded 30%.

Source: IMF, January 2023;

The United States' economy grew 2% in 2022 compared to 5.9% in 2021 when growth was bolstered by plentiful job opportunities, unemployment near historic lows and consumers continuing to spend from their stock of savings (the personal saving rate is at its lowest in more than 60 years).

The Euro area's performance was better with growth of 3.5%, following the +5.3% achieved in 2021. A warmerthan-usual winter and more gas supply sources, which lowered prices, offset the impacts of the war in Ukraine.

Albeit lower than the 6.7% rate achieved in 2021, the Italian economy grew 3.9%, assisted by the upturn in tourist-related services, industrial manufacturing in the first half of the year and the resumption of infrastructure investments. A drop in consumption was held off by dipping heavily into the savings accumulated during the pandemic.

Turning to other important markets for the Group, the economies of Australia and the Middle East posted respective growth of 3.6% and 5.3% in 2022 while they ranged between 4.5% and 5.5% in the previous year.

Construction sector remains resilient despite the macroeconomic situation: infrastructure continues to be essential for sustainable growth

The construction sector and the infrastructure segment in particular, are essential drivers of sustainable economic growth.

Global Data estimates that the global volume of investments in construction exceeded €6 trillion in 2022, a 23% increase over 2021, driven by the infrastructure segment, which rose by 26%. This positive trend is expected to continue with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 9% in 2022-2025.

The positive outlook for this sector over the next few years is underpinned by global megatrends, such as demographic growth, urbanisation, the rising scarcity of resources and climate change, making investments in infrastructure necessary to mitigate their effects.

Source: Global Data, January 2023; IMF, January 2023 and October 2022

The European construction market has benefited from the NextGenerationEU funds, enabling many governments to roll out initiatives to encourage investments in infrastructure. The sector grew by 12% in 2022 while the infrastructure segment grew 14% in 2022.

The Italian construction market, which is one of the main sectors benefiting from Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan, rebounded in 2021 and maintained momentum in 2022, growing more than 7%. The government's measures to help the sector by tackling the issue of rising raw materials prices have allowed the infrastructure works fundamental for the country's development to continue.

The new Procurement Code was approved at the end of 2022 and should be in force by 2023. It introduces certain fundamental principles to relaunch the sector, such as: i) the price revision clause; ii) procedural simplification for the public works approval phase; iii) streamlining and acceleration of payment methods, with provision for contract advances of up to 30%; iv) expansion and bolstering of the dispute resolution mechanisms; and v) simplification of the penalty and reward system.

The US construction sector grew more than 20% in 2022, while the construction business in Australia rebounded in the third quarter of 2022, mostly thanks to the commencement of works on some large infrastructure contracts.

High-speed/capacity Verona- Padua Railway Project

The Iricav Due Consortium (Webuild Group: 82.93%) is RFI's (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana S.p.A.) general contractor for the design and construction of the high-speed/capacity Verona- Padua railway line section. The line, expected to cost an estimated €4.8 billion, will be 78.8 km long (running through the provinces of Verona, Vicenza and Padua) and is split into three functional lots.

Work on the first lot, worth approximately €2.5 billion, is underway for a length of 44.2 km crossing 13 municipalities. It will quadruple the existing line, increasing the quality of the Italian railway system and assisting its integration into the European network.

The definitive design of thislot was completed in 2022 and the related financial offer was presented to RFI which, after evaluating its adequacy, is agreeable to signing the second rider as soon as the related CIPESS (the interministerial committee for economic planning and sustainable development) procedure for the financial review of the works has been completed (expected for the start of 2023).

During 2022, the executive design activities were continued, as were the expropriation work and the ordnance clearance activities. The parties also negotiated the agreements necessary to resolve the interferences of the high-speed/capacity section under construction with the existing underground utility cables and the A4 Motorway. Work also continued at the Verona work site. Upon completion of the EU calls for tenders for the works to be assigned to other companies, the related contracts were signed (except for those related to the sound barriers and the railway superstructure, scheduled for 2023).

High-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa Railway Project

The COCIV Consortium is RFI's general contractor for the design and construction of the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line section (Giovi third railway crossing).

The contract is worth approximately €4.8 billion and covers the construction of a railway line along 54 km, including 37 km of tunnels. It is split into six non-functional construction lots, integrated by the activities for the Genoa railway junction tunnels.

This railway line will shorten the travel times between the two cities by 33% and will also reduce pollution.

During the year, a number of agreements were signed, amending and supplementing the already-signed riders. They modified the contract consideration but not its timeline.

At the end of 2022, two contracts were entered into formalising additional work for €366 million for the Genoa Junction project.

In 2022, work continued on the Giovi third railway crossing and the Genoa Junction, including commencement of work for the above new agreements.

The technical consultancy board was set up on 23 June 2022 and the activities to settle the dispute with the customer are underway.

Pedemontana Lombarda Motorway

Pedelombarda Nuova S.C.p.A. (Webuild Group: 70%) was set up to perform the executive designs and works for Section B2 (requalification of the former State Road 35 from Lentate sul Seveso to Cesano Maderno) and Section C (construction from the former State Road 35 from Cesano Maderno to the A51 Milan East Bypass), as well as the related works for the local roads flanking the motorway.

The works were commissioned by Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda S.p.A. and the contract, signed in December 2022, is worth approximately €1.26 billion.

On 12 December 2022, the customer issued the notice to proceed and Pedelombarda Nuova S.C.p.A. has until 10 June 2023 to prepare the executive designs which will then be approved by the customer within 120 days.

The works will be delivered within 45 days of approval of the executive designs.

High-speed Naples - Bari railway line

The high capacity Naples- Bari railway line project is of greatstrategic importance to southern Italy as it connects its two most important economic and urban areas. It will extend the high-speed/capacity service to southern Italy, linking itwith the rest of Italy and reducing travel times by between 20% to 45%. Development of the Naples - Bari section has been identified as a priority as part of the new Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).

The Group is currently involved in construction of four sections of the line assigned by RFI:

  • Hirpinia Orsara a 28 km section mostly running through tunnels worth €1,074.8 million (Webuild Group: 70%). During the year, work on the executive designs continued as did the geognostic investigations while the clearing of ordnance and site start-up activities commenced. Approval of the executive designs is pending;
  • Apice Hirpinia a 18.7 km section between Benevento and Avellino, construction of the Hirpinia Station, three bored tunnels and four viaducts for a total consideration of €608.1 million (Webuild Group: 100%). In 2022, work included site start-up activities, sub-foundation and reinforced concrete works, construction of the entrances to the bored tunnels and prefabrication of the tunnel lining sections. During the second six months of the year, the reinforced concrete elevation works were also commenced as were the transport and assembly of the two tunnel boring machines (TBMs);
  • Orsara Bovino a 11.8 km section mostly running through tunnels worth €367.2 million (Webuild Group: 70%). During the first six months of 2022, the executive designs and geognostic investigations were completed and the clearing of ordnance and site start-up activities commenced. In the second half of the year, the works were delivered and the first conformity deed for approval of the executive designs was signed, allowing commencement of the preliminary works at the tunnel entrances;
  • Naples Cancello a 15.5 km section between Naples and Cancello worth €455.7 million (Webuild Group: 100%). In 2022, activities continued with the laying of foundations, elevations and abutments of the viaducts, construction of the artificial tunnel diaphragm walls and slabs as well as work to resolve interference with underground utility cables. Work to move earth from the embankments commenced during the second half of the year.

High-speed Palermo- Catania- Messina railway line

This project is part of the Palermo- Catania- Messina railway axis, included in the Scandinavian- Mediterranean Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Upon completion, travel between Messina and Catania will be approximately 30 minutes faster, facilitating a service similar to a metro line from Catania to Taormina/Letojanni.

The Group is currently involved in construction of four sections of the line assigned by RFI:

• Lot 2 Taormina - Giampilieri – development of a new double-track section, including the superstructure, electrical traction, signalling and technological systems, with a target speed of 160 km/h along roughly 28.3 km, and the construction of two single tube bored tunnels (traditional excavation), one twin tube bored tunnel (traditional excavation), five twin tube bored tunnels (TBM) and seven viaducts, one station, two stops, a dewatering shaft, a ventilation duct and restoration of the existing roads and hydraulics. The contract is worth €1,003.9 million (Webuild Group: 70%). In August 2022, the executive designs were approved, amending the contract amount to €1,051.3 million;

  • Lot 1 Taormina Fiumefreddo development of a new double-track section, including the superstructure, electrical traction, signalling and technological systems with a target speed of 160 km/h along roughly 13.9 km, and the construction of an underground station, a single tube bored tunnel (using a TBM), a twin tube bored tunnel (using a TBM/traditional excavation methods), an artificial tunnel and two viaducts, connection with the existing station, two stops and restoration of the existing roads and hydraulics. The contract is worth €640.2 million (Webuild Group: 70%). The executive designs are currently at an initial stage;
  • Enna Dittaino development of a new 15-km railway line, including the new Enna Station, upgrading of the Dittaino Station, three tunnels and five viaducts for €616.7 million (Webuild Group: 70%). At the date of preparation of this report, the executive designs are being prepared and the related preparatory works carried out;
  • Bicocca Catenanuova doubling of a 38 km section between Bicocca and Catenanuova on the Palermo-Catania line while the railway line is in use. The contract includes the executive designs and performance of civil works, superstructure and signalling, comprising: earthworks for the railway subgrade, 17 viaducts, eight overpasses, two artificial tunnels and two tunnel pipelines for a contractual present value of €231 million (Webuild Group: 100%). In 2022, the executive activities included the substantial completion of the civil works on the viaducts and overpasses, continuation of the ordnance clearance activities and earthworks to finalise some sections of the railway subgrade. Important technical and operating events included the commencement of the works for the new irrigation network (variation) to replace the existing network. Once this has been completed, it will be placed in service for the Consorzio di Bonifica della Piana di Catania.

New Genoa Breakwater

The PerGenova Breakwater Consortium (Webuild Group: 40%) was set up to design and build Genoa's new breakwater which will allow bigger ships to berth at Genoa Port as it will be built 450 metres beyond the current barrier. The breakwater will be 6,200 metres long and will rest on the sea bed at depths of up to 50 metres sitting on a structure of around one hundred cellular caissons. The contract is worth approximately €843 million and deploys innovative construction technologies. It will also be sustainable in order to maximise the circular economy. At the date of preparation of this report, the definitive and executive designs are being prepared and the preliminary works carried out.

SS-106 state road Jonica- Third maxi-lot

Sirjo S.c.p.A. is the general contractor for the design & build contract for the third maxi-lot of SS-106 state road Jonica in the province of Cosenza (38 km). The contract is worth approximately €980 million and is of great strategic importance as the project is part of the Trans-European Transport Network TEN-T.

In 2022, works continued to excavate the Trebisacce Tunnel while the underground excavation of the Roseto Tunnel commenced. The viaduct substructures and entrances for the South section were completed and the road works and small works started. With respect to the North section, the activities to reclaim the Roseto landslide were completed and excavation of the artificial tunnels and viaduct foundations commenced. The first artificial tunnels should be finished during the first few months of 2023 while the elevation of the viaduct piers and the pier caps and decks has started.

Fortezza - Verona railway line (Fortezza - Ponte Gardena section)

The new Fortezza - Ponte Gardena line, commissioned by RFI, is the natural continuation of the Brenner Base Tunnel, designed to extend the Verona - Innsbruck - Munich axis as part of the Scandinavian - Mediterranean Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network TEN-T.

The Group has a 51% stake in the consortium awarded the design & build contract worth €1,071.4 million for the new high-capacity line of approximately 22.5 km, nearly entirely underground, which continues on from the Brenner Base Tunnel between Fortezza and Ponte Gardena.

In 2022, the consortium delivered the as-built drawings for the executive designs of the four design phases, obtaining approval of the first three while the preliminary approval process is ongoing for the last phase (Part B).

On 9 August 2022, RFI and Consorzio Dolomiti signed the related contract.

On 30 November 2022, after approval of the executive designs for Part A, rider no. 1 was signed redefining the contract consideration as €1,071.8 million.

On the same date, the notice to proceed was signed for Part A to be carried out within 305 consecutive natural days.

Milan- Metro Line 4

Metro Blu S.c.a.r.l. was set up to carry out the works and services related to the civil works to build the new Line 4 of the Milan Metro, which will connect the eastern and western sides of the city, passing through the historic centre of Milan and out to Linate Airport.

The new line, which will be fully automated (i.e., driverless) with intelligent traffic control technology, will cover a 15.2 km stretch from Linate to Lorenteggio. It will increase Milan's public sustainable mobility system carrying an additional 24 thousand passengers an hour in each direction.

As a result of the rider and the new construction contract agreed on 25 September 2019, the consideration for the EPC contract is roughly €1.8 billion.

The work on the first functional lot (Linate- Forlanini F.S.) and the second functional lot (Forlanini F.S.- Dateo) has been completed and the sections have been delivered to the customer. The Linate- Dateo section was placed in service on 26 November 2022.

At the date of preparation of this report, the works to complete and deliver the third functional lot (Dateo- S. Babila), slated for April 2023, to arrive at the city centre, and those for the delivery of the fourth functional lot (S. Babila- S. Cristoforo), scheduled for September 2024, which will lead to the entire route from Linate to San Cristoforo being opened to the public, are underway.

Some of the ongoing contracts have incurred unforeseen costs for which requests for additional consideration have been presented. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

Ontario Line- Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance (RSSOM)

The RSSOM project is part of the more extensive Ontario Line project, which involves the construction of a 16 km metro line and 15 stations across Toronto to connect the Exhibition Centre to the Science Centre.

It entails the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the systems, railway works and construction of the maintenance facility. The civil works of €685 million have been assigned to a joint venture led by Webuild (65%).

The financial closure was reached in November 2022.

Hurontario Light Rail Project

The project, commissioned by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx, is worth €917 million and includes the construction of an 18-km light rail transit (LRT) system.

The works, assigned to a joint venture in which the Group has a 70% share, include the construction of a station, 19 above-ground stops, third party infrastructure, road resurfacing and widening, construction, modifications and rehabilitation of bridges, car parks and an operations maintenance storage facility for the LRT vehicles.

During 2022, construction of the Operations Maintenance Storage Facility was nearly completed while work to relocate the underground utility cables along the entire section continued in preparation for the ongoing road works and installation of the tracks.

Riyadh National Guard Military (SANG Villas)

The Group has a 51% share in this contract commissioned by Saudi Arabia National Guard worth roughly USD1.4 billion. The project includes housing and urban planning on a large scale with the construction of 5,750 villas in an area of 7 million square metres in the Khashm-Alan area to the east of Riyadh.

The project also comprises public buildings, mosques, markets, schools, public parks and recreational areas as well as a road network of more 250 km, paths and utilities with above and below ground connections.

Construction work is underway for the prefabricated villas in five districts. The Group is building 472 villas in District A together with the related services and roads. Work on additional villas is being carried out in the other three quarters of the district and construction of two mosques has commenced.

Diriyah-Super Basement Riyadh

Commissioned by Diriyah Gate Development Authority, this project is worth approximately €840 million and includes the construction of Diriyah Square- Package 2 Super Basement, a mega multi-storey car park for 10,500 vehicles. The car park will have three underground floors and a total surface area of around 1 million square metres. The Group's share is 51%.

The car pack will be built in the new district in the north-west area of the Saudi capital along the Western Ring Road and will be part of an ambitious urban development plan for the historical district which is a UNESCO heritage site. The contract includes the development of a network of pedestrian streets, public squares, courtyards, souks and bazaars.

In 2022, excavation and waterproofing works were mainly carried out as well asthe preparation of the protective screed.

Riyadh Metro Line 3

Commissioned by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, this USD7.3 billion design & build contract (the consideration has been increased as a result of amicable agreements reached with the customer about previous disputes) covers Line 3 of the Riyadh Metro. This is the longest line of the challenging project for the new metro

system of Saudi Arabia's capital. It will have a transportation capacity of up to five thousand people per hour in each direction.

The international consortium led by Webuild (66%) is responsible for building 41.2 km of the metro line, 22 stations, two maintenance facilities and related works.

In 2022, after completion of the civil works, the consortium completed the 22 stations and two facilities (mostly MEP- mechanical, electrical, plumbing- and fit-out works). The urban development and landscaping activities are underway and the trains' dynamic and static tests are being performed.

Some of the ongoing contracts have incurred unforeseen costs for which requests for additional consideration have been presented. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

Foreign concessions

The Group's foreign concessions comprise both investments in the operators, which are fully operational and, hence, provide services for a fee or at rates applied to the infrastructure's users, and operators that are still developing and constructing the related infrastructure and will only provide the related service in future years.

The current concessions are held in Latin America (Argentina, Colombia and Peru), Australia, Canada, the UK and Norway. They refer to the transportation sector (motorways and metro systems), hospitals, renewable energy and water treatment sectors.

In 2022, Webuild reached financial closure for the following projects:

  • the Sotra Connection Project, which includes the financing, design, construction and long-term operation of a network of roads, tunnels and bridges in Vestland County in western Norway. The contract will improve mobility between Bergen and the island of Sotra on the west coast and is the largest transport contract in Norwegian history to date. The project involves the building and operation over 15 years of a four-lane highway of a total length of approximately 14 km (the new RV555), including tunnels of around 10 km and a 1 km long suspension bridge (the new Sotra Bridge);
  • the Ontario Line, which covers the construction of a railway line that will cross downtown Toronto with a sustainable mobility project that will take 28 thousand cars off the road per day;
  • the Sydney Metro- Western Sydney Airport Metro Line, which includes the construction of a metro line to connect the new Western Sydney International Airport with Sydney. The project includes expanding Sydney Metro, Australia's largest public transport network, which will change the way in which one of the country's most populated cities travels. The new line will support development in Western Sydney, with its construction creating thousands of jobs.

Operations & Maintenance

The Group has decided to leverage this segment to strengthen its foothold in the sector of integrated management of services for high tech infrastructure. As well as being complementary and synergistic to the Group's core business, the O&M segment generates stable revenue over time and requires low deployment of working capital. The Group is particularly interested in the hospital segment, where it has already hassignificant expertise thanks to its prior experience gained in the concessions segment. It has already identified interesting opportunitiesfor long-term contractsfor a variety ofservices(hard maintenance and heat/energy management, healthcare technology - electro-medical services, related services, commercial and hotel services, etc.).

(§) The estimated cost of €131.9 million of the dispute with the customer for the C.A.V.TO.MI contract is included under "Provisions and impairment losses" in the reclassified statement of profit or loss. However, it decreases revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of profit or loss included in the consolidated financial statements.

(*) The Group monitors the key figures of Lane Group for management purposes adjusting the IFRS figures prepared for consolidation purposes to present the results of the non-subsidiary joint ventures consolidated on a proportionate basis. These figures show the status of contracts managed directly by Lane or through non-controlling investments in joint ventures.

Adjusted revenue for the year is €8,163.1 million compared to €6,690.6 million for 2021. The increase of €1,472.4 million (22.0%), achieved despite the difficult macroeconomic context and inflation, is due to the quality of the order backlog, the work performed in partnerships with the Group's customers and network and its efficient contract management.

The main contributors are the projects underway in Italy that benefited, inter alia, from the positive effects of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, such as the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa, Naples - Bari and Verona - Padua railway lines as well as Lane Group's contracts in the United States, the Snowy 2.0 contract in Australia, the Koysha Hydroelectric Project and the GERD project in Ethiopia and additional contracts in progress in the Americas (Canada and Colombia), Europe (France, Romania and Norway) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia).

The adjusted gross operating profit amounts to €572.1 million (€451.3 million) while the adjusted operating profit comes to €321.2 million (€197.6 million). The €123.6 million increase in the adjusted operating profit was mostly achieved thanks to contracts in Italy and Australia, which has been secured partly thanks to pass through clauses and risk mitigation mechanisms in the Group's contracts, which are mostly agreed with state bodies.

Net financing costs approximate €73.1 million compared to €92.5 million for 2021. They include:

  • financial expense of €212.6 million (€190.3 million) partly offset by financial income of €119.1 million (€87.5 million);
  • net exchange gains of €20.4 million (net gains of €10.3 million).

The adjusted profit before tax amounts to €251.5 million compared to €80.3 million for the previous year.

Adjusted income taxes for the year amount to €108.7 million (€110.7 million). They are mainly affected by the profitability of the group companies and the different tax regimes of the countries where the Group operates.

The adjusted profit from continuing operations amounts to €142.8 million compared to a loss of €30.5 million for the previous year.

The loss from discontinued operations of €18.0 million relates to the foreign divisions of the former Astaldi that do not fit in with the Group's commercial and industrial strategies (mainly the "Astaldi Georgia" division for 2022).

The profit attributable to non-controlling interests is €6.6 million compared to €26.2 million for 2021.

As a result of the above, the adjusted profit attributable to the owners of the parent amounts to €118.2 million compared to a loss of €56.4 million for the previous year.

(*) The note numbers refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements where the items are analysed in detail.

(§) The estimated cost of €131.9 million of the dispute with the customer for the C.A.V.TO.MI contract is included under "Provisions and impairment losses" in the reclassified statement of profit or loss. However, it decreases revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of profit or loss included in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Total revenue for the year amounts to €8,091.2 million (€6,552.2 million), including €4,480.4 million earned abroad (€3,500.8 million), €2,405.0 million in Italy (€2,108.0 million) and €1,205.8 million in the United States (€943.4 million).

Operating expenses

The operating expenses reflect the production trends and, specifically, progress on the large projects in Italy and, more generally, the countries where the Group has a stronger presence (the United States, Australia, Ethiopia, France, Norway and Romania). Prices of raw materials rose again in the year due to limited supplies, partly caused by the upturn in demand driven by the global economy's recovery. As a result, the Group introduced mitigation measures to contain price increases. Its contracts with customers usually include price adjustment clauses.

Operating profit

The operating profit amounts to €191.1 million compared to a loss of €33.7 million for the previous year.

Impairment losses of €84.0 million (€27.5 million) were mostly recognised on the Group's trade receivables for activities performed in Ukraine.

Amortisation, depreciation and provisions of €307.6 million (€451.8 million) comprise:

  • depreciation of property, plant and equipment of €173.9 million (€85.3 million);
  • depreciation of right-of-use assets of €74.9 million (€81.7 million);
  • amortisation of contract costs and intangible assets of €91.6 million (€133.3 million), including €69.5 million (€93.7 million) on the contract acquisition costs recognised as a result of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi;
  • utilisations of provisions for a net €32,8 million (accruals of €151.6 million), chiefly in connection with onerous contracts, principally in the US and Poland, and the disengagement from the EPC contract for the Integrated Health Campus in Gaziantep, Turkey. The prior year balance was mostly affected by the effects (€131.9 million) of developments in the dispute between the general subcontractor C.A.V.TO.MI and the customer for the high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan railway line (Novara - Milan sub-section).

Financing income (costs) and gains (losses) on equity investments

The Group recorded net financing costs of €73.1 million (€92.5 million).

The item comprises:

  • financial expense of €212.6 million (€190.3 million);
  • financial income of €119.1 million (€87.5 million);
  • net exchange gains of €20.4 million (€10.3 million).

The €22.3 million increase in financial expense is mostly due to the interest accrued on the sustainability-linked bonds issued in January 2022 and that arising from the parent's settlement of pending tax disputes.

The increase in financial income is due to, inter alia, the prior year gains from the discharging of debts of €18.0 million, recognised after authorisation of the composition with creditors procedure for Afragola FS and the interest of €11.0 million collected after settlement of the court proceedings related to Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania.

Net exchange gains of €20.4 million mostly relate to the Euro's performance against the Ethiopian birr, the Argentine peso and the US dollar.

Net losses on equity investments amount to €7.1 million (€19.2 million). They mostly consist of the losses recognised by Lane Group's joint ventures and Ankara Etlik (O&M contract for the Integrated Health Campus in Etlik, Turkey).

Income taxes

The income tax expense for the year is €76.3 million (€133.6 million).

Loss from discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations of €18.0 million mostly refers to the "Astaldi Georgia" division.

Non-controlling interests

The profit attributable to non-controlling interests is €6.6 million (€26.2 million) and mainly relates to the subsidiaries SLC Snowy Hydro Joint Venture (Snowy 2.0 project in Australia) and SA.PI. NOR Salini Impregilo - Pizzarotti J.V. (Nykirke - Barkaker railway line in Norway).

Property, plant and equipment increased by €90.0 million, chiefly due to the investments made for the ongoing projects in Australia (Snowy 2.0), France (TELT Lot 2) and Italy (Naples - Bari railway line).

Right-of-use assets amount to €113.5 million, showing a reduction of €56.1 million principally due to depreciation.

Intangible assets show a net decrease of €92.4 million, mainly as a result of the amortisation of €91.6 million, of which €69.5 million related to contract acquisition costs recognised as part of the PPA procedure for Astaldi.

The net increase of €42.1 million in equity investments is mostly due to equity-accounting of the investment in the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A., which benefited from the US dollar's strong appreciation during the year.

Provisions for risks

The decrease of €23.7 million in the provisions for risks of €198.9 million (€222.6 million) mostly refers to the ongoing contracts in the US and Poland as well as the Group's disengagement from the EPC contract for the Integrated Health Campus in Gaziantep, Turkey.

Other current tax liabilities (100,786) (90,181) 10,605
Net other current tax assets 148,673 144,055 (4,618)
Net tax assets 374,999 437,449 62,450

The decrease in current tax liabilities chiefly refers to the Ethiopian branch.

Net working capital

Net working capital amounts to a negative €576.0 million at year end compared to a negative €804.6 million at 31 December 2021, thanks to the significant improvement seen in the second half of the year (€564.3 million) compared to the balance at 30 June 2022 (negative €11.7 million).

The main changes in the individual items making up net working capital are summarised below:

  • trade receivables increased by €400.4 million, of which €207.2 million for the Enna Dittaino section of the high-speed Palermo - Catania railway line and the new Genoa Breakwater, which is offset by a similar rise in liabilities to the Group's consortium partners for that contract. Foreign trade receivables increased in Asia and the Middle East (following certification of some important milestones in Saudi Arabia and Tajikistan and the settlement of claims related to the Meydan One Mall project in Dubai). This effect is partly countered by the impairment losses recognised on trade receivables due from the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor (€65.3 million), described in more detail elsewhere in this report;
  • trade payables increased by €683.0 million, mainly in Italy, Australia and Ethiopia. With respect to Italy, the higher payables of €207.2 million due to consortium partners for the Enna - Dittaino section of the highspeed Palermo - Catania railway line and the new Genoa Breakwater;
  • contract assets and liabilities amount to €3,200.0 million (€2,787.3 million) and €3,311.7 million (€3,422.8 million), respectively. The difference compared to 31 December 2021 is due to the significant progress made during the year on projects underway in (i) Italy (high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line), (ii) US (Lane Group), (iii) Australia (Snowy 2.0), and (iv) Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project). The increase in contract advances confirms the Group's significant commercial achievements again in 2022 in strategic lowrisk areas like Italy (Genoa Breakwater, Enna - Dittaino section of the high-speed Palermo - Catania railway line), Australia (STTOM Project) and Saudi Arabia (Diriyah Square Package);
  • other current assets and liabilities come to €916.4 million (€905.1 million) and €620.6 million (€565.4 million), respectively.

(*) The note numbers refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements where the items are analysed in detail.

(**) This item shows the Group's net amounts due from/to unconsolidated consortia and consortium companies operating under a cost recharging system. The balance reflects the Group's share of cash and cash equivalents or debt of the SPEs. The items making up these balances are shown under trade receivables and payables, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group's net financial position - continuing operations amounts to €265.2 million, down €201.5 million on 31 December 2021 (net financial position of €466.7 million).

The considerable improvement in the second half of 2022 (€662.1 million) on 30 June 2022 (net financial indebtedness of €397.0 million) reflects the ramp-up in operations and the Group's very positive new orders acquired during the year.

Gross indebtedness of €2,619.3 million shows a decrease of €35.3 million on the 31 December 2021 balance of €2,654.5 million.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amount to €1,921.2 million, including approximately €565 million available at head office level (including the subsidiary Lane).

The debt/equity ratio (based on the net financial position from continuing operations) is -0.14 at group level at the reporting date compared to -0.25 at 31 December 2021.

Webuild has given guarantees of €106.3 million in favour of unconsolidated group companies securing bank loans.

Reference should be made to note 24 to the consolidated financial statements for the calculation of the Group's net financial position in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines of 4 March 2021 and the related reconciliation with the figures shown in table 3 above.

(*) The note numbers refer to the notes to the separate financial statements where the items are analysed in detail.

(§) The estimated cost of €131.9 million of the dispute with the customer for the C.A.V.TO.MI contract is included under "Provisions and impairment losses" in the reclassified statement of profit or loss. However, it decreases revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of profit or loss included in the separate financial statements.

Revenue

Total revenue for the year amounts to €2,062.3 million (€2,016.1 million), including €67.7 million (€694.3 million) earned in Italy and €1,994.6 million (€1,321.8 million) abroad.

Operating loss (EBIT)

The operating loss amounts to €24.7 million, which is an improvement on the previous year's loss of €50.2 million. It includes amortisation of €33.8 million (€32.3 million) of the contract acquisition costs recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi.

Financing income (costs) and gains (losses) on equity investments

The parent recognised net financing costs of €77.7 million (costs of €0.5 million). The item comprises:

  • financial expense of €222.8 million (€124.2 million) offset by financial income of €80.6 million (€61.8 million);
  • net exchange gains of €64.6 million (net losses of €62.0 million).

The €98.5 million increase in financial expense is mostly due to (i) the interest accrued on the cash pooling account with Webuild Italia S.p.A. and Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A. and the new sustainability-linked bonds as well

as (ii) the non-recurring effects of the impairment losses recognised on loans and receivables with some subsidiaries of the former Astaldi in Canada and the United States and the recognition of interest on tax liabilities for pending tax disputes.

Financial income increased by approximately €18.8 million principally as a result of the interest of €11.0 million collected after the settlement of the court case related to Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania and the greater interest income (€4.5 million) from Yuma Concesionaria S.A. for the additional loans provided to it in 2022.

Net exchange gains of €64.6 million (€62.0 million) mainly reflect the Euro's performance against the Ethiopian birr, the Argentine peso and the US dollar.

Net gains on equity investments amount to €69.9 million compared to net losses of €103.0 million for 2021. The balance mainly reflects the dividends distributed by Webuild Italia S.p.A., partly offset by the losses on the investments in the subsidiaries HCE Costruzioni S.p.A. and Astaldi Concessions S.p.A..

Income taxes

This item amounts to €14.0 million (€96.7 million). The 2021 balance mostly reflected the temporary nonrecovery in Italy of taxes paid abroad by the parent's branches.

Loss from discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations of €23.0 million mostly refers to the "Astaldi Georgia" division.

The balance reflects the parent's share of cash and cash equivalents or debt of the SPEs.

The parent's exposure to the SPEs was shown under "Trade receivables" for €3.5 million at 31 December 2021.

Net invested capital

This item decreased by €59.4 million on the previous year end.

The main changes of the year are due to the effects described below.

Non-current assets

Non-current assets increased by €44.6 million. They may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Property, plant and equipment 120,416 136,641 16,225
Right-of-use assets 57,317 38,648 (18,669)
Intangible assets 90,819 59,150 (31,669)
Equity investments 2,123,671 2,202,347 78,676
Total non-current assets 2,392,223 2,436,786 44,563

Property, plant and equipment increased by €16.2 million, mostly due to investments in recently acquired projects in France (TELT Lot 2) and Norway (Sotra Connection), partly offset by depreciation.

Right-of-use assets decreased by €18.7 million to €38.6 million, mostly as a result of the depreciation expense for the year.

The net decrease of €31.7 million in intangible assets chiefly reflects the amortisation of the costs to acquire contracts recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi.

Equity investments increased by €78.7 million mainly due to: (i) the capital injections into Webuild - US Holdings Inc. (€69.4 million) and HCE Costruzioni S.p.A. (€60 million), (ii) the gains recognised on the investment in Grupo Unidos por el Canal thanks to the US dollar's strong appreciation during the year, partly offset by (iii) impairment losses recognised during the year.

Provisions for risks

This item of €83.3 million shows a €9.1 million increase on the previous year end, mostly due to the effects of the accruals for risks on equity investments in companies that are no longer active (for contracts completed in Turkey and Colombia).

Net tax assets

At 31 December 2022, net tax assets amount to €241.3 million (€222.1 million) and may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation

Net tax assets 222,117 241,262 19,145

Working capital

Working capital decreased by €116.2 million to €986.3 million at the reporting date as a result of the important new contracts acquired during the year and, specifically, the contract advances received for the Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport (SSTOM Project) in Australia and TELT Lot 2 in France. More information is available in the notes to the separate financial statements that present the main working capital items.

The balance reflects the parent's share of cash and cash equivalents or debt of the SPEs. The items making up these balances are shown under trade receivables and payables, respectively, in the separate financial statements.

At 31 December 2022, the parent has net financial indebtedness of €2,025.5 million compared to €1,952.0 million at the end of the previous year.

The €73.5 million increase is mostly due to (i) the capital injections of approximately €181 million into some investees, including Webuild - US Holding and HSE Costruzioni S.p.A., (ii) dividend distributions (€54.2 million), and (iii) net investments in property, plant and equipment (approximately €43 million).

The increase is partly offset by the dividends of €203.4 million received from the subsidiary Webuild Italia S.p.A..

The statement of cash flows provides more information about the parent's cash flows.

Gross indebtedness of €4,537.7 million shows an increase of roughly €542.5 million on the 31 December 2021 balance of €3,995.2 million.

Reference should be made to note 23 to the separate financial statements for the calculation of the parent's net financial indebtedness in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines of 4 March 2021 and the related reconciliation with the figures shown in table 6 above.

Alternative performance indicators

As required by Consob communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015, details of the performance indicators used in this Report and in the Group's institutional communications are given below.

Financial ratios:

Debt/equity ratio: this ratio shows net financial position as the numerator and equity as the denominator. The items making up the financial position are presented in a specific table in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The equity items are those included in the relevant section of the statement of financial position. For consolidation purposes, equity used for this ratio also includes that attributable to non-controlling interests.

Debt indicators:

Liquidity and other financial assets is the sum of the following items:

  • a. Current and non-current financial assets;
  • b. Cash and cash equivalents.

Short and medium to long-term debt is the sum of the following items:

  • a. Current account facilities and other loans;
  • b. Bonds;
  • c. Lease liabilities.

Other financial assets and liabilities is the sum of the following items:

  • a. Derivatives;
  • b. The Group's net amounts due from/to consortia and consortium companies operating under a cost recharging system and not included in the consolidation scope.

Performance indicators:

    1. Gross operating profit: this indicator shows the sum of the following items included in the statement of profit or loss:
    2. a. Total revenue;
    3. b. Total costs, less amortisation, depreciation, impairment losses and provisions.

This can also be shown as the ratio of gross operating profit to total revenue.

    1. Operating profit: the operating profit given in the statement of profit or loss, being the sum of total revenue and total costs.
    1. Return on sales or R.o.S.: given as a percentage, shows the ratio of operating profit (as calculated above) to total revenue.

Disclosure on the adjusted figures

The Group monitors the key figures of Lane Group adjusting the IFRS figures prepared for consolidation purposes to reflect the results of the joint ventures not controlled by Lane, presented for management purposes on a proportionate basis. These figures ("Non-subsidiary joint ventures") show the status of contracts managed directly by Lane Group or through non-controlling investments in joint ventures.

Moreover, profit or loss items are considered to be adjusting factors, if they are material and when:

  • a) they arise from events or transactions that do not take place frequently in the normal course of business;
  • b) they arise from events or transactions that are not representative of the Group's normal business.

For management purposes, the IFRS figures have been adjusted to reflect the following adjusting effects:

reclassified statement of profit or loss for 2021:

  • elimination of the accounting effects of the amortisation of the intangible assets arising from the PPA procedure for the acquisition of control of Astaldi Group;
  • adjustment of the effects of the assessed income taxes in Ethiopia after settlement of the claims for the GERD project;
  • non-inclusion of the cost for the ongoing dispute between the general subcontractor CAVTOMI and the customer for the high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan contract (Novara - Milan sub-section).

reclassified statement of profit or loss for 2022:

  • elimination of the accounting effects of the amortisation of the intangible assets arising from the PPA procedure for the acquisition of control of Astaldi Group;
  • non-inclusion of the impairment losses on the trade receivables related to projects carried out in Ukraine in the period from 2013 to 2016.

The effects of these adjustments are presented in the "Financial highlights" section of this report.

Events after the reporting date

New orders

On 16 January 2023, Lane was awarded a contract worth more than €202 million (Webuild Group: 100%) to increase capacity, mobility and safety at the interchange of Interstate 4 (I-4) and Sand Lake Road (State Road 482) in Orange County, Florida.

On 8 February 2023, the consortium led by the Group was awarded a design-build contract for approximately 13 km of a new railway line as part of the project to quadruple the high-speed Fortezza - Verona railway line south of the Brenner Base Tunnel. The contract is worth €934 million and will be performed by Webuild Group for 55% (51% Webuild and 4% Seli), Ghella (35%) and Collini (10%).

Acquisition of Clough assets

On 3 February 2023, Webuild signed the contract to acquire assets from the Administrators of Clough Limited (Clough). The acquisition perimeter comprises Clough's organisation and more than €4 billion worth of projects (in the order backlog) and the related workforce. The transaction enables Webuild to strengthen its organisational, engineering and workforce structure in Australia, acquire a local presence, benefit from scale and significant synergies and expand and diversify Webuild's business. The transaction price is roughly AUD35.9 million (€23.4 million). Following approval from Clough's creditors of Webuild's proposed acquisition of the assets, the Group took over control and management of Clough's activities in Australia and Papua New Guinea on 16 February 2023. This acquisition makes Webuild one of the major operators in the strong, expanding Australian construction market.

Outlook

Following completion of Progetto Italia, which facilitated the consolidation of the Italian construction sector, and the Group's recent acquisition of Clough in Australia, Webuild has achieved a level of scale, skills and technologies that allows it to achieve more ambitious goals and take on the challenges posed by the ongoing global megatrends, such as climate change, demographic growth, urbanisation and water scarcity.

The financial outlook for 2023 is as follows:

  • book to bill: average >1.1x in the 2023-2025 period;
  • revenue: €9.5 billion;
  • EBITDA: €720-€760 million;
  • maintaining a positive net financial position (net cash).

These forecasts are based on the assumption that no significant changes will take place in the ongoing geopolitical crisis with the war in Ukraine (where the Group no longer has any exposures) and the public health emergency and that the macroeconomic scenario will not undergo extreme disruption.

Webuild will continue to:

Directors' report - Part II

2022 Consolidated Non-financial Statement

Prepared in accordance with Legislative decree no. 254/2016

Introduction

This Consolidated Non-Financial Statement (the "Statement") refers to Webuild Group (the "Group"), which includes Webuild S.p.A. and the fully consolidated companies. The terms "Webuild" or the "Company" are used to refer to just the parent, Webuild S.p.A.. More information about the Statement's scope is given in the "Methodology for reporting non-financial information" section.

The policies, management systems and internal procedures described below refer to Webuild. The key content of these documents is reviewed by the competent bodies of the subsidiaries, consortia, consortium companies, etc. in which Webuild has an investment with a view to their adoption.

The section entitled "The infrastructure sector and Webuild's role" provides a snapshot of the unique characteristics of the Group's market in order to facilitate a better understanding of the information provided in this Statement.

Towards an increasingly sustainable future

Sustainability continues to be an essential linchpin in Webuild Group's strategy.

Its ongoing projects generate benefits for about 93 million people around the world (89 million in 2021), providing better access to water, energy, mobility and public utility infrastructure, and avoid GHG emissions of approximately 25 million tonnes of CO2 (24 million in 2021) a year.

Confirming its role as a key mover in the global climate transition, 81% of the Group's 2022 revenue is eligible under the EU taxonomy, the classification system of environmentally sustainable economic activities introduced by the EU.

Economic value generated by the Group, i.e., the total wealth created for stakeholders, amounted to €8,224 million in 2022 (€6,499 million in 2021), of which 95% distributed to suppliers, employees, investors and lenders, public administration and local communities.

Webuild's contribution to the economies of the local areas where it works was significant again in 2022: 89% of its workforce was hired locally (84% in 2021) and 94% of its suppliers were local (91% in 2021). If the indirect and induced effects in the Group's main markets are also considered, Webuild contributed to the creation of 6 jobs for each direct employee, generating a GDP multiplier of 3.3 (i.e., €3.3 of GDP for each euro of value added generated by the Group).

In 2022, Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) approved the Group's new 2030 GHG emission reduction targets, which it had formally presented in 2021. Its direct emissions in 2022 increased by 7% on the previous year, due to the ramp-up of some important projects.

During the year, the Group made progress in advancing towards all the targets set out in its ESG plan:

  • the emissions intensity rate (scope 1 & 2) dropped by 57% compared to the 2017 baseline (the target is -50% for 2023);
  • the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) has improved by 41% compared to the 2017 baseline (the target is -40% for 2022).
  • the percentage of women included in succession planning for key positions is 21% (with the target for 2023 increased to 25% compared to the originally-established 20%);
  • additional investments in innovative projects approximated €21.8 million in 2022, which added to the €8 million of 2021, give a total of €29.8 million (for a target of €30 million by 2023), reaching a record of over €118 million invested in innovation in the past five years.

The Group has been included in Borsa Italiana's MIB® ESG Index and retained its position as one of the top sector players in terms of the ESG ratings issued by major independent organisations such as MSCI (A), CDP Climate Change (A-), ISS-ESG (C+ Prime) and Moody's ESG-ex Vigeo Eiris (Advanced)22 .

22 Ecovadis' 2022 rating of Webuild was affected by the well-known events related to the construction of the stadiums for the World Cup in Qatar. As it applied the highest standards for personnel management and occupational health and safety, Webuild firmly asserts that it was extraneous to such events.

Sustainability Strategy

Webuild's Sustainability Strategy is embedded in the Group's business model23 and strategy and is underpinned by two key pillars: its contribution to global challenges and its unceasing commitment to acting responsibly.

The Sustainability Strategy allows Webuild to pursue 11 of the key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations.

Contribute to global challenges

The first pillar relates to the core business, hinging on the Group's capacity to develop infrastructure projects in the areas of Sustainable Mobility, Clean Hydro Energy, Clean Water and Green Buildings and its contribution to the global challenges posed by urbanisation, climate change, resource scarcity and technological innovation.

Over the year, the Group affirmed its focus on infrastructure projects that contribute to achievement of the SGDs and the challenge posed by climate change.

Thanks to the new orders acquired during the year, Webuild is now even better placed to contribute to sustainable development. In fact, its order backlog at 31 December 2022 will generate benefits for over 93 million people around the world (89 million in 2021) and avoid GHG emissions of roughly 25 million tonnes per year24(24 million tonnes in 2021). In geographical terms, the largest benefits were seen in Europe in 2022 (40.5 million people compared to 38 million in 2021) while the Sustainability Mobility area saw the most growth (46.5 million beneficiaries compared to 43.1 million in 2021). These figures confirm the Group's pivotal role as a major contributor to the sustainable mobility sector's growth in Italy and Europe.

23 Additional information is available in the "Webuild Group: our vision and performance" section of the Directors' report.

24 Based on contributions in terms of avoidable emissions by hydroelectric, railway and metro projects in portfolio.

Act responsibly

The second pillar embodies the ethical, social and environmental responsibility policies and practices applied by the Group to protect and enhance people and the environment and to contribute to the social and economic development of the countries where it operates.

Webuild pursues ongoing improvement in its ESG performance (confirmed by the independent ratings received) by adopting business practices designed for sustainable development.

The following sections describe the Group's ESG policies, practices and performances.

ESG plan

The Group has drawn up an ESG plan for the 2021-2023 period focused on three strategic areas - Green, Safety & Inclusion and Innovation - in which it has long invested resources and for which it has already achieved important results. Webuild has identified a number of projects and specific targets to be pursued over the plan period for each priority (the sustainability "construction sites") as shown below:

The Group reinforced its focus on some targets in its annual revisiting of the plan and specifically:

  • the emissions intensity reduction target, which it aligned with the Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework published in November 202125;
  • the diversity target with the inclusion of women in succession planning, previously set at 20%.

The progress towards the targets set out in the ESG plan is summarised below.

The complete ESG plan is available on Webuild's website. The following sections describe the policies, practices and performances for each of the above strategic areas.

Material non-financial topics

Given the reference context, the specific nature of the infrastructure sector, the Group's sustainability strategies and the inputs from its stakeholders, Webuild has drawn up and regularly revises a list of material topics in line with the methodology proposed by the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (described in more detail in the "Methodology for reporting non-financial information" section).

Material topics are those on which Webuild furnishes non-financial disclosures pursuant to Legislative decree no. 254/2016 in order to impart adequate information on the Group's operations, performance, result and its impact.

A list of the material topics grouped by the three ESG clusters is provided below.

25 See the "Company organisation" section for more information.

Governance Social
A. Sustainability strategy I. Attraction and development of employees
B. Excellence and innovation J. Health, safety and welfare
C. Ethics and integrity M. Diversity and inclusion
D. Anti-corruption L. Human rights
E. Tax transparency M. Contribution to local economies
E. Supply chain N. Privacy
G. Stakeholder engagement
H. Cyber security Environment
O. Climate change
P. Natural resources and circular economy
Q. Biodiversity

Webuild performed the 2022 materiality analysis in line with the guidelines of the GRI Universal Standards 2021. This revised version proposes a new approach whereby material topics are identified on the basis of the most significant impacts (positive, negative, current and potential) generated by an organisation on the economy, environment and people, including impacts on their human rights.

As a result of this analysis, the topics of "Ethics and integrity", "Health, safety and welfare", "Anti-corruption", "Excellence and innovation" and "Human rights" were allocated maximum priority (listed in order of priority).

Company organisation

A dynamic, constantly changing structure to underpin business growth in line with international best practices

Corporate governance

Webuild's corporate governance model is a traditional management-type model and complies with international best practices. It is an essential tool in ensuring the efficient management of the Group and effective controls over its activities, in line with the Group's goals of creating value for shareholders and protecting stakeholder interests.

The Company's governance system is based on integrity and transparency. It complies with the relevant legal requirements, Consob (the Italian commission for listed companies and the stock exchange) regulations and the recommendations of the Code of Corporate Governance/Conduct in force from time to time.

At the end of 2022, the Company's Board of Directors had fifteen members, including six women (40%), and ten who met the independence requirements (66.6%). The Board of Directors has three committees: the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Compensation and Nominating Committee and the Committee for Related-Party Transactions. The Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, comprised of six independent directors, examines this Consolidated Non-financial Statement in connection with the Company's activities and engagement with its stakeholders.

Identity pillars

Following its rebranding in 2020, Webuild refreshed the Group's identity 2021 to better reflect its industry standing and its commitment to sustainable development.

In addition to reformulating its Vision, Mission and Values, Webuild also unveiled its purpose - "Webuild, Partner for a sustainable future" - embracing the essence of the Webuild brand: a group at the service of the community contributing to global sustainability.

In line with the Group's traditions, the pillars reiterate and reinforce its commitment to sustainable development, and its intention to return part of the value generated to society to make a positive contribution to the communities and local areas where it operates.

The identity pillars represent Webuild's commitment to build well-constructed works that "do good" for the future, in line with its growth strategy and business positioning.

ESG framework

The Company has an organisational and management model based on a system of principles (Code of Ethics and Policies) and management and control tools (risk management, models, procedures and controls) designed to monitor significant ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) topics in line with the regulations applicable in the countries where it operates, standard principles and international guidelines.

Webuild is a signatory of the UN's Global Compact, the largest global sustainability initiative that requires companies to align their operations and strategies with ten universally-recognised principles on human rights, labour practices, the environment and anti-corruption.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a Code of Ethics, which sets out its principles and rules of conduct that people who work for or with Webuild are required to adhere to at work.

The Code applies to the directors, statutory auditors, managers and employees of Webuild as well as all those parties that work with the Company directly or indirectly, temporarily or on an ongoing basis, to the extent of their duties and responsibilities.

They are required to comply with the laws and regulations applicable in the various geographical areas in which the Company operates and to base their conduct on that set out in the Code.

The Code is the culmination of a journey which started with the definition of Webuild's Identity Pillars. It sets the tone for how the Company interacts with its collaborators, partners and, more broadly, its stakeholders. The Code establishes proactive behaviour to be adopted at work and an ethical leadership model.

Company policies

Webuild has issued a number of company policies (posted on the Company's website), which alongside the Code of Ethics, represent the main points of reference for people working for the Company. They are summarised below:

Sustainability Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with during its operations in order to contribute to economic progress, social well-being and the environmental protection of the countries where it operates.

Health and safety Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with to protect the health and safety of its employees, suppliers and subcontractors during the entire life cycle of its contracts (design, construction and development) and in the workplace; its objective is "zero injuries".

Environment Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with in order to mitigate possible adverse effects on the environment, protect the ecosystem and increase the beneficial effects, contributing through its projects to resolving the main global environmental issues, reaffirming the right of each worker to intervene to stop activities that could be harmful to the environment.

Quality Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with to ensure full client satisfaction, the active involvement of all stakeholders and the continuous improvement of the Quality System, based on its fundamental goal of "build to perfection".

Human rights Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with to ensure the protection of human dignity, just and favourable working conditions and the protection of the human rights of stakeholders affected by its activities.

Equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion Policy: the principles that the Company is committed to complying with to encourage inclusive work environments that value the individual, developing human capital.

Anti-corruption Policy: the anti-corruption principles to be adhered to by employees, based on the fundamental tenet of "zero tolerance".

The Company strengthened its commitment to the environment, health and safety and human rights and workers with the International Framework Agreement signed in 2014 with the Italian (Feneal-UIL, Filca-CISL and Fillee-CGIL) and international (BWI - Building and Wood Workers' International) trade unions of the construction sector.

The above principles are reiterated in the Suppliers Code of Conduct, introduced early in 2020, which extends the Company's responsible operating practices to its supply chain. This Code is binding for all Webuild suppliers and, together with the Code of Ethics, is an integral part of their contractual relationship with the Company.

Management and control system

The Company has an internal control and risk management system incorporating rules, procedures and organisational structures to ensure healthy, ethical business practices that are consistent with its objectives through appropriate procedures to identify, measure, manage and monitor the main risks.

This system is based on standards which require:

  • business activities to be based on applicable internal and external rules, can be mapped and documented;
  • that the allocation and exercise of powers as part of a decision-making process is commensurate with the positions of responsibility and the size and/or significance of the underlying transaction;
  • the separation of duties between those parties that take or implement decisions, that record transactions and those that are required to perform the controls over such transactions provided for by law and procedures envisaged by the internal controls;
  • that confidentiality and compliance with the personal data protection legislation is ensured.

Webuild has also voluntarily adopted an Integrated QEHS (Quality, Environment, Health and Safety) Management System in compliance with the international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, as well as an Anti-Corruption Compliance System pursuant to ISO 37001. These systems are certified by an independent expert.

The quality, environment, health and safety management system certifications cover the definitive and executive designs, works management and performance to build large works, complex civil and industrial works and related technological systems; the design and management of integrated operation and maintenance services for infrastructure, civil and industrial buildings, related technological systems and electromedical devices; and remediation of contaminated sites (reference to IAF 28, 34, 19 and 39).

The quality management system also applies to the coordination of the general contractor activities carried out in accordance with Title III of Legislative decree no. 50/2016 and Legislative decree no. 56/2017 as subsequently amended and integrated.

The scope of these systems includes all the work sites where the Company operates and all types of companies in which it is involved.

The anti-corruption management system covers the design, construction, restructuring and maintenance, on its own behalf or for third parties, of civil engineering, industrial, infrastructure and plant engineering works. It applies to the Group's core and strategic processes managed by the Italian offices and the Company's operations, including those of the foreign branches and directly managed work sites. Centralisation of the main processes exposed to corruption risks (including business development and procurement) has meant that the related controls are carried out as part of the certification.

The Company has an ISO 31000 compliant risk management system, certified by an independent expert. It covers construction on its own behalf or for third parties of roads, ports, buildings, hydraulic, hydropower, railway and other civil engineering works in Italy and abroad.

Webuild refers to the OECD Guidelines for multinational enterprises and ISO 26000 "Guidance on Social Responsibility" for its CSR issues. It has also adopted the UN's Guiding principles on business and human rights for the management of human rights.

The Group's large Italian companies also have a social accountability management system certified in accordance with SA800026 .

Subsequent sections of this Statement provide more information on these frameworks.

Organisation, Management and Control Model

Webuild has introduced an Organisation, Management and Control model (the "231 model") to:

  • prevent the commission of the predicate crimes as per Legislative decree no. 231/2001;
  • define and implement an internal culture based on respect and transparency;
  • raise awareness among employees and stakeholders.

The Model sets out specific controls implemented in internal procedures in order to monitor transactions exposed to the potential risk of crimes that would trigger the administrative liability of companies.

It includes measures to identify and reduce potential risks of non-compliance with the provisions of Legislative decree no. 231/01. With respect to the risk of corruption, the Model's controls are aligned to the Anti-corruption Compliance System.

The Integrity Board, which is an independent control body, monitors the effective implementation of and compliance with the Model. The Company has informed its employees of an email and postal address for any communications to be made directly to the Integrity Board, guaranteeing their anonymity and protection from any form of reprisal. Notification of alleged violations of the Model can also be made using the whistleblowing system (see the Anti-corruption section) which forwards them to the Integrity Board.

This complies with Law no. 179/2017 and Confindustria's guidelines for the construction of organisational, management and control models (2021).

26At the end of 2022, Webuild Italia S.p.A., Cossi S.p.A. and NBI S.p.A. were SA8000-certified.

Sustainability-linked Financing Framework

In November 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Sustainability-linked Financing Framework, formalising the inclusion of environmental sustainability criteria in the Group's funding strategy. It also affirms the Group's stated purpose of contributing to the achievement of the UN's SGDs and acceleration of the global climate transition.

The Framework sets out guidelines to be adhered to when the Company issues new financial instruments linked to sustainability objectives. It defines carbon intensity as the KPI and fixes specific intermediate and long-term sustainability performance targets that contribute to the advancement of SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and SDG 13 Climate Action.

The Framework was assessed by an independent body which issued a Second Party Opinion on the document's compliance with Webuild's sustainability strategy and the international standards regulating sustainability-linked financing.

In January 2022, Webuild completed the issue of its first sustainability-linked bonds, receiving orders for more than twice the amount offered, confirming the international and domestic financial community's appreciation of Webuild's strategy of recent years.

The issue is linked to achievement of the 50% reduction target of the Company's carbon intensity emissions (scope 1 & 2) by 2025 compared to 2017.

Security system

Webuild's security system is coordinated by a corporate unit that ensures:

  • definition of standards and guidelines on security risks;
  • coordination of the local security units;
  • specific assessments of security risks;
  • continuous monitoring of significant security risk events;
  • definition of security incident management models for the effective management of security incidents that are harmful or potentially harmful to individuals, based on respect for the individual, human rights, the Code of Ethics, and in compliance with local and international regulations, as coordinated with the competent authorities;
  • regular audits of the local security units.

Specifically, in order to identify, manage and mitigate potential risks and threats to the Company's value and principles of legality, it adopts the following safeguards:

Preventative Analysis

Webuild's commitment to building large infrastructure projects exposes the Group to risks of potential criminal infiltration. The Company has set in place measures to identify and assess risks of possible infiltration and influence by organised crime in the production chain of its projects in Italy and, when appropriate, abroad.

The Security Department liaises with the centralised Compliance and Vendor Management Departments and project management to:

  • perform structured analyses of the Group's partners working in sectors at risk of infiltration in line with legality protocols (for example, supply cycle and transport of aggregates, cement and bitumen, dry and wet leases, road transport for third parties, work site security, environmental services for the treatment and elimination of waste, etc.);
  • carry out analyses and in-depth investigations of sub-contractors and sub-suppliers;
  • cooperate with the police forces and competent institutions, as agreed with headquarters.

Security and employee safety

Work sites may be assigned a security unit in certain geographical areas due to the risks identified.

The security personnel may be employees and/or personnel provided by third parties, who are usually unarmed and/or by personnel supplied by the army or local police departments under specific contracts, formal agreements or service orders.

Security personnel receive the following training:

  • group employees: initial training and periodic refresher courses from the local security managers based on training programmes that reflect the applicable standards and regulations and include information on respect for the individual, human rights and the Code of Ethics.
  • personnel of private companies: training by their managers based on training programmes that comply with the terms of the contracts agreed with Webuild and that include information on respect for the individual, human rights and the Code of Ethics.
  • personnel supplied by the army or public safety forces: training that complies with local regulations and standards and is provided by their internal units.

The internal security personnel and personnel of private companies act in accordance with operating procedures approved by Webuild's security units and/or those of their company, which comply with Webuild's models and hinge on respect for the individual, human rights and the Code of Ethics, adapted to the local regulations and rules.

Personnel supplied by the army or public safety forces operate in accordance with the local regulations and procedures of their organisation or procedures drawn up by the local authorities for the specific service they are providing.

Cyber security

Given the Group's international footprint, the ongoing digitalisation of processes and remote work patterns, data and information protection is a key concern.

Accordingly, Webuild has set up an Information & Cyber Security Unit as part of the Security Department to steer, implement and monitor information and data protection measures for the Group based on the National Framework for Cyber Security and Data Protection and the main reference standards. It is assisted by the IT and Digital System Department.

Specifically, the Company has defined new security measures so that all technical applications and infrastructure are fully integrated with the cyber security systems. These measures, which are either being implemented or will be so in the near future, include:

  • the definition of cyber security requirements for the group companies;
  • the progressive standardisation of processes and tools;
  • the introduction of the security by default & by design approach for each new project undertaken by the Company and for each contract;
  • the set-up of a Global Security Operation Centre for the Company and the work sites to monitor and guide timely remediation actions in the case of events that could potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data processing and technologies deployed while concurrently handing any incidents and performing security assessments and audits.

The Company has prioritised raising its employees' awareness of the importance of this issue as they are the first line of defence. To this end, it deploys the most suitable training methods (in-person, e-learning, exercises and tests, newsletters, etc.) at headquarters and on site.

As part of its information & cyber security activities and in order to pro-actively prevent and respond to incidents, the Company has formal agreements in place with institutions and its peers in Italy to enable the improvement of response time and the capacity to deal with potential threats.

Data protection

Compliance with data protection regulations is a priority for the Company and it has a comprehensive organisational model to oversee such compliance, which is also guaranteed by the Data Protection Officer (DPO), a role covered by the Compliance Manager. The DPO is assisted by a privacy team, comprising members from the main departments that can provide assistance thanks to their specific expertise (e.g., HR Department, Legal Department, IT Department and the Information & Cyber Security Unit). The team's objective is to advise on the application of the data protection regulations in accordance with Regulation (EU) no. 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR).

The Company has data protection policies and procedures for all its departments that process personal data, especially as regards data breaches and the transfer of data to countries that do not comply with the GDPR such as the US. An online training module on the EU Regulation is available to all employees as well as dedicated courses for those units that either process personal data or manage relationships with third parties acting in their role as data managers.

Non-financial reporting system

Webuild has a non-financial reporting system that complies with the requirements of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards. The Corporate Social Responsibility Department supervises this reporting system. This Statement is approved by the Company's Board of Directors after it has been examined by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee.

Main organisational changes

In 2022, the Group re-engineered and digitalised its regulatory system to make it more effective and user-friendly and to ensure its seamless application by subsidiaries, branches and work sites. This initiative saw the Group engaged in migrating and applying its organisational standards and processes during the year with dedicated projects, including:

  • a regulatory framework for Webuild Italia and Partecipazioni Italia;
  • continuation of the alignment of Lane's regulatory system with that of the Group, including with respect to change management;
  • alignment of the regulatory frameworks of the subsidiaries CSC, Cossi, Seli, NBI and Fisia Italimpianti by performing a gap analysis and preparing a convergence action plan.

With respect to the Company's headquarters, the main organisational reshuffles involved:

• The introduction of a new Corporate Cost Efficiency Programme Unit (January 2022) to roll out new operating models, in line with the business plan, to reduce indirect costs by: (i) establishing centralised service hubs for the work sites (shared services model), (ii) identifying back office automation possibilities, (iii) identifying indirect cost savings and assisting the relevant departments to implement the related measures, (iv) PMO monitoring of activities and savings achieved.

Given the cross-departmental nature of the project, the unit reports to the General Manager Corporate and Finance - Group CFO and Chief HR, Organisation and Systems Officer.

  • Completion of the succession plan and reorganisation of the Plant and Equipment Department (February 2022) into functional areas to enable greater technical supervision (Electrical and System Engineering, Plants, Construction Machinery, TBM and Auxiliaries).
  • Reorganisation of the Group Bidding and Engineering Unit (March 2022) using the Group's span and layer approach, which led to the creation of two new competence centres specialised in bids:

  • o Bid Management, standardising the bidding processes across the entire Group for the integrated and centralised management of bids of all the Group's various bidding units (including those of the former Astaldi), and formalising the liaison process with the corresponding units at the subsidiaries;
  • o Bid Services, standardising and bringing all the services provided to the Bid Management Team to prepare for bids under one roof (e.g., Planning, Estimating & Methods, Bid Doc Control, etc.).
  • Delayering the Controlling and Accounting Department (March 2022) with respect to its Operations and Risk Controlling activities together with a review of the department's geographical areas.
  • Reorganisation of the Contract Management Department (May 2022) by geographical area to ensure more effective supervision of all claims.
  • Appointment of a CEO for Lane (May 2022) to complete the succession plan for the US group company's senior management. Ignacio Botella, part of the Group's Senior Management Team as Deputy General Manager & Operations Executive Director Americas, took on this role.
  • Overhaul of the HR Department, which involved merging the HR Management, Industrial and Labour Relations, Total Rewards and Mobility Policies, Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding, HR Administration, Workforce Planning and Services and Facility Management Departments as well as merging the Organisation & Change Management, Development, Succession Planning & DEI and Knowledge Management and Technical Training Departments into the Organisational Development, Learning and Change Department (November 2022).

Continuous communication and transparency with all the stakeholders

The Group has always engaged with all its stakeholders in a transparent and continuous manner, using state-ofthe-art tools for both external and internal communications.

From an institutional viewpoint, it wound up the Progetto Italia communication plan, as the project was accomplished in April 2022. The plan provided for continuous communication with the parties involved during the different phases. Webuild's main objective was to present, with utmost transparency, the Group's commitment to bring together several sector companies, becoming large enough with innovative technical and engineering expertise so as to be in a position to immediately vie for the investments earmarked for the large infrastructure sector.

In 2022, Webuild stepped up its commitment to communicate every aspect of its business transparently and in real time, allowing stakeholders to have a comprehensive understanding. This involved issuing an increasing number of press releases and communications around 200, (about 30% more than in 2021) tailored to their target audiences to provide comprehensive information. Webuild also has a corporate magazine, We Build Value, with a circulation that has grown exponentially over the years in terms of its reach in Italy, the United States and Australia, two countries of great strategic interest to the Group.

It placed more than 20 webcams in Webuild work sites in Italy so that the local communities and other stakeholders could follow the projects. The Group also opened work sites to the public, with open days at the Milan Metro Line 4 site and the Paris Metro (Grand Paris Express) site. Webuild also launched a special communication plan for a specific site, the Milan Metro Line 4, to present the technical activities and stories behind progress on the project in order to connect a wider audience with the activities of the M4 metro and, more generally, of the sector.

During the year, the Group also organised campaigns to raise awareness around sustainable infrastructure and the positive effects infrastructure can have, starting from its construction and continuing through to its operation. One example was the intensive campaign about the role of infrastructure for water, "Acqua per la vita" (Water for life), designed to focus attention, including at institutional level, on the need for infrastructure to produce, save and efficiently manage water, especially at times of severe drought.

In 2022, Webuild built on its integrated multi-channel communication plan launched in 2021, Webuild Next-Gen, designed for young people. This includes dedicated campaigns for the transparent presentation of the Group's plan to include young people in its activities. One such campaign was the Challenge 4 Sud with the universities of southern Italy while others included communications about projects for young people, including the Alberto Giovannini Award and the Scuola di Mestieri.

The Group also undertook a series of cultural initiatives as part of the "Agenda Cultura" to reinforce communities' positive perception of the value of infrastructure to their areas, which included the "Superbarocco. Arte a Genova da Rubens a Magnasco" exhibition at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome. The exhibition was organised by Scuderie del Quirinale and the National Gallery of Art of Washington, D.C. to celebrate the Genoese baroque, one of the artistic periods of greatest splendour for Genoa and Italy, and concluded with a concert by the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in the Sant'Agnese in Agone Church in Piazza Navona in Rome.

Webuild engages continuously with its stakeholders on digital channels with an ecosystem of 13 websites and five social media platforms. In 2022, the Group's digital touchpoints collected over 75,000,000 impressions, of which more than 91% through the social media, thanks to an extensive communications plan that can create 2,900 posts a year, with an average of around eight posts a day. The Group's website has 4,800 pages, which are refreshed daily. During the year, the Group also released new vertical mini-sites, including cantieritrasparenti.it, and new insights into the Group's initiatives. Its social media channels have over 287,000 followers, 20% more than in 2021.

In 2022, Webuild kept its stakeholders up to date with a direct email marketing (DEM) programme, sent to more than 18,500 contacts every week (more than double the number of 2021).

The Group was strongly committed to its strategic internal communication plan throughout the year, focused on strengthening the information and granular engagement processes of Webuild's people, both at the Company's offices and the work sites, with the aim of encouraging their informed and active participation in working towards business objectives. In 2022, the main drivers of the Group's internal communication strategy were to improve information accessibility (thanks to the deployment of innovative instruments and networking, such as the new Webuilders employee app, initially launched for a population of 3,000 employees based mostly in Italy which will be extended abroad in 2023); the direct involvement of senior and middle management in sharing business results and objectives, achieved through presentations of the 2021 results with an extensive cascading strategy that reached more than 1,000 people around the world; the active promotion of the Group's identity to strengthen a shared culture with its employees as its first ambassadors on their own channels and social media (the Brand Builders project); publicising and engaging employees in change management processes (performance management, mentorship projects and training).

Webuild also carried out dedicated communication campaigns to raise employee awareness about issues close to its heart such as sustainability and the ESG Plan objectives, diversity, innovation, safety and the environment.

The Group drew up a schedule for virtual meetings (Time to Talk) involving all group employees to discuss key issues related to Webuild's business and identity, such as compliance, resources development, governance processes, responsibility and obligations with respect to quality, the environment and safety. These online meetings were attended by approximately 1,500 people and their aim was to provide group employees with greater familiarity with strategic issues, consolidate and share a common culture (especially the employees of companies new to the Group) and reinforce the value of each person's contribution to achieving the Group's objectives.

Innovation, research and development

Strategic for the Group's sustainable growth and competitive edge

Webuild considers innovation essential for its long-term sustainable growth in an era of technological and environmental challenges. Innovation is key to be competitive in terms of:

  • core and staff process efficiency for improved performance efficiencies (timing and costs);
  • social and environmental performance thanks to less work-related incidents and a smaller impact on the environment and the communities affected by its operations;
  • quality construction services that meet client needs;
  • reduction of construction lead times;

• expansion into new business sectors.

The Company's sector is known for the highly customised processing, techniques and technologies deployed depending on the nature of the works to be performed. Each project is unique and requires the development of bespoke solutions based on highly specialist know-how. The Group's work sites are real hives of innovation and advanced research.

R&D activities are carried out at project and company level.

At project level, in addition to researching materials, ensuring worker safety, pursuing quality and protecting the environment, the most challenging activities are those for projects with technical characteristics that cannot be dealt with using conventional techniques and technologies.

At corporate level, the technical departments work unceasingly to develop state-of-the-art methods that best respond to the unique characteristics of each project. The Company's technical teams work alongside the best experts and professionals in the market, universities and research centres from day one to develop tailored solutions able to meet clients' requirements while protecting the local environment and communities.

During the 2018-2022 five-year period, the Company invested on average around €23 million in innovation, research and development projects for a grand total of over €118 million. These projects have involved an average of around 380 group specialised resources27 each year.

27 Personnel involved in long-term projects are included for each year of the project. The figures for 2022 include Lane's figures based on conservative estimates considering the information available that could be verified at the date of preparation of this Statement.

Innovation projects mainly related to the following areas:

Design, planning and development

Webuild places its services at the client's disposal for the project to be developed. Its aim is to deliver a highquality service and play its part in the sector's technological evolution.

One of its key initiatives is the design and development of a system to collect, integrate and manage large quantities of data about contracts in order to process and organise them in a consistent and user-friendly manner.

Through the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, data analytics and machine learning, the platform will provide innovative support to decision-making at corporate and project level, improving the project team's forward-looking and management abilities:

  • in managing contracts and planning activities, thanks to a model that provides real time information on the project's status;
  • during calls for tenders for new projects, drawing on the forward-looking technical and financial models based on the integrated multi-disciplinary data.

In 2022, Webuild trialled application of the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology to automate, standardise and streamline certain repetitive work site activities that require great manual dexterity.

One of the Company's success stories of the year is Axel (Autonomous Exploration Electrified Vehicle), the world's first rover robot to inspect shafts and tunnels.

Axel solves and eliminates the risks of exploring critical areas as it is remote controlled, can report on environmental conditions of tunnels and provide remote, real-time images and data about the area being explored (e.g., temperature, humidity, state of the tunnel walls, presence and concentration of dangerous gases, etc.).

The robot provides input on the activities necessary to make the environment safe for the workers, such as air exchange and filtration, tunnel wall reinforcement and installing electrical systems.

Construction techniques

Webuild's innovative potential comes to the fore in this area.

One of the most interesting initiatives carried out in recent years is the design and development of new technologies to develop large inclined hydraulic tunnels using mechanised boring techniques and alternative lining solutions for the Snowy 2.0 hydropower station project in Australia.

The project involves the excavation of a 1,600 metres inclined pressure shaft at a 25° slope (46.73%), with a diameter of 9.9 m and subject to significant dynamic loads (+/- 25bar). This high-pressure shaft's maximum incline is unique in the world and, given the size of the works and operating conditions, represents a world first technological innovation in the sector of TBMs (Tunnel Boring Machines). On-site activities commenced in 2022 using the technological solutions designed for the excavation of tunnel sections with a negative slope (between

-9% and 0%). The self-adaptive driving systems and reconfigurable platforms that transition from horizontal tunnelling to inclined excavation were fine-tuned. The tunnel boring machine (TBM) can operate both in open mode and closed mode, as well as if there is naturally occurring asbestos material.

Webuild also fine-tuned the innovative use of single lining in mechanically connected sections to withstand high internal pressure and the related high performance sealing mortars.

This innovative and one-of-a-kind solution has been adopted to mitigate the risk of potential issues related to the site's geological conditions and will allow significant cost and time savings in boring the tunnel.

After receiving the prestigious ITA Tunnelling Award 2021 for its innovative construction methodology, Riser Concept, developed for the environment restoration project of the Matanza-Riachuelo catchment basin in Argentina, the Group patented the solution in the United States.

Materials

The Group focused on a number of projects concerning the reuse of excavation materials, water treatment and the development of innovative construction materials.

It developed the WeCycle research project for the reuse of excavation materials to explore the feasibility of reusing earth and rocks excavated by TBMs for circular economy purposes.

In 2022, Webuild analysed the feasibility of reusing these materials in the production cycle for two-component grouts for back-filling, raw materials and concrete production. The study found the project to be technically feasible but not economically viable.

From a circular economy viewpoint, the objective is to supplement the more traditional reuse methods with innovative methods whereby the excavated earth and rocks are put to greater use in protecting the local area and mitigating hydrogeological risk or simply acquiring an economic value through their reuse in new production cycles while reducing transport (and related emissions) and disposal costs.

With respect to water treatment, the Group has commenced a project to develop a technology to break down surfactants in wastewater. It is nearing completion and the technology will be trialled shortly.

The Group has also invested in the study of innovative materials. It developed numerous solutions including:

  • analysis of a custom-designed mix for possible use as a filler for the production of back-filling grout of the filter-pressed material coming from the wastewater treatment system during the tunnel boring process;
  • development of an innovative aerated two-component grout with the aim of creating a drainage cushion in the annular space around the prefabricated tunnel section lining, to decrease the pressure on the lining where there is significant water head. The Group has applied this technology at several sections of the new Naples - Bari railway line.

In addition to the above projects, the Group developed an ingenious test method to explore the explosive spalling of the fibre-reinforced tunnel sections during fire testing using the confined slab spalling test. The design and development of this technology have been completed.

Work site digitalisation

The initiatives in this area cover many fields. They entail the development of innovative tools that use machine learning, AI, big data & predictive analysis, IoT and BIM to facilitate the processing of large quantities of data

with summarised and concise outputs available in real time. Digital innovation is essential to Webuild's competitive edge. The main initiatives undertaken are:

• design of a complex system (data lake) to collect, supplement and manage big data from the work sites. The system processes the data using AI, drawing on past experience to support both contract and bid management.

This technology can be used to build a digital twin of the work site to organise the data generated by different sources and provide readily available processed information.

The same technology uses the data lake at centralised level to filter and file the data in a standardised manner;

  • digitalisation of the collection, aggregation and entering of data during the execution phase, replacing paper reports with paperless versions that can be prepared by the work site personnel on their mobile devices (tablets, smartphones). This solution ensures a better trail, established inputs, and eliminates the need for transcription thereby simplifying the validation process;
  • the Tunnel WeView system to assist management monitor a project's production, safety and environmental aspects and its impact by the real-time collecting, processing and viewing of operating, energy and environmental data, including monitoring the environmental objectives (e.g., GHG reduction) and their achievement. In 2022, the Group applied this technology at the Snowy 2.0 work site completing all the dashboards and network architecture of the subsystems. It also intends to extend the platform to an aggregate solution connected with the company servers for Italian projects;

  • knowledge management ecosystem to encourage a new approach to processes and activities to increase productivity, operating efficiency, sustainability, flexibility and traceability. In 2022, the Group launched the platform at four pilot work sites and set up two new internal communities of experts in the various fields;
  • an innovative procurement platform designed to optimise the supply chain management, from the supplier screening and selection processes to performance assessment, as well as contract planning management. This system will resolve certain limitations inherent in the existing solutions, such as insufficient integration of the data and management aspects or not being able to map the entire supply cycle. It will also reflect the specific needs of the construction market and, specifically, those of Webuild;
  • development of a fleet management platform to manage the technical and other data of all the Group's equipment with a standard classification using their tax and technical characteristics, which vary from one product family to another. The platform also includes all the information about the projects the equipment

is used for and their geographical location. At present, this system is in use at almost 30 work sites around the world.

Safety, quality and the environment

The design of a construction site layout that is sustainable, attentive to the safety of workers, the environment and the surrounding areas is becoming increasingly important. Once again, technology is the harbinger of efficient and improved performances in the safety and environment areas, leading Webuild to invest in this type of initiative. The most significant initiatives recently undertaken include:

GREEN TBM - development of a TBM with reduced energy and water consumption by optimising the onboard systems and devices to improve tunnelling efficiency and all the many related functions and equipment; this has led to a reduction in the machine's environmental impact, faster tunnelling and greater safety. The first trials indicated a reduction in energy consumed per cubic metre of bored tunnel of around 20% compared to the traditional TBMs. During 2022, the machine's executive designs were completed and construction of the first more efficient TBM has started;

  • an innovative system to monitor and manage work sites' water resources using remote digital systems to maximise water recovery during construction activities. This system (WWE - Webuild Water Efficiency) has been used at the Giovi third railway crossing work site (Milan - Genoa high speed/capacity railway line) in Italy;
  • an automated system to design, manufacture and position tunnel segments using highly efficient robotic technology that integrates solutions for innovation, efficiency, circular economy, environmental footprint reduction, and development of a more resilient and better performing product. The robotised factory has been designed so that it can be dismantled and re-installed in other areas (design for deconstruction). It is currently being installed at the first Italian work sites and is nearly entirely self-sufficient in terms of its water and energy requirements;
  • full electric or hybrid propulsion multi-service vehicles to transport materials and personnel in underground sites and to support the TBMs during the mechanised excavation for the total or partial elimination of GHG and polluting substances with the consequent improvement of the air in tunnels;
  • environmentally-friendly electrical transformer cabins built using a combination of low environmental impact technologies and materials. In 2022, the analysis focused on the cabins' ability to emit less emissions, their costs and benefits and the feasibility of their use in the work sites to identify the most suitable type of cabin. Once finalised, the cabins will be audited for EDP (Environmental Product Declaration) certification.
  • development of the AMICO Account Method of Infrastructures embodied CarbOn platform to be used for the analysis and parametric evaluation of carbon emissions (embodied carbon) and energy consumption (embodied energy) of an infrastructure over its life cycle;
  • introduction of the Infinity Neural system, which uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to monitor work at tunnels bored using TBMs to improve workers' health and safety. The system consists of video cameras installed along the tunnel which monitor the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment, interaction between the

machines and between the machines and the workers and that the designated pedestrian crossings are observed. It picks up on non-compliant behaviour, which is reported to the supervisors using an instant messaging tool as well as sending concurrent acoustic signals to the workers involved. The system also guarantees privacy and generates regular reports.

In addition to continuing its ongoing projects, the Company constantly scouts for new potential innovation, research and development projects to invest in.

During the year, the US-based group company Lane continued to roll out its Fast Lane to Innovation Award programme to encourage, identify and recognise innovative practices developed in-house. In addition to their technical aspects, the submissions are assessed in terms of their environmental benefits and sustainability.

The Company has set itself the objective of investing additional resources of more than €30 million in the 2021- 2023 three-year period, as set out in its ESG Plan. Its aim is to roll out high impact innovative technological and digital projects within its business processes to make them more efficient and sustainable.

Main risks and management methods

The Company's HR management policy complies with the principles set out in its Code of Ethics and the laws and regulations of the countries where it operates.

The risks and methods used to manage the key employee-related aspects and risks are described below.

Workforce

At 31 December 2022, the Group's workforce was as follows:

Direct workforce by category (GRI 2-7) Unit 2020 2021 2022 % 2022
Managers no. 544 477 463 1.3%
White collars no. 8,318 8,518 9,830 27.3%

Abroad no. 25,988 27,244 31,919 89%
Total no. 29,162 30,798 35,994 100%

At year end, technical and production employees made up 79% of the workforce with office employees accounting for the other 21%. The split between open-ended and fixed-term employment contracts is 85% and 15%, respectively.

If the indirect resources (employees of subcontractors, temporary work agencies and other service providers involved in the Group's projects) are included, the total workforce deployed by the Group in 2022 numbered 75,514.

Total No. 54,883 74,105 75,514 100%
Abroad no. 46,972 58,326 59,474 79%
Asia and Oceania no. 15,854 11,103 18,682 25%
Americas no. 13,256 25,356 22,422 30%
Europe (excluding Italy) no. 6,399 9,427 5,654 7%

Direct and indirect workforce by
geographical segment (GRI 2-7 and 2-8)
Unit 2020 2021 2022 % 2022

The above figures relate to the Group's employees at 31 December of each year, calculated in line with the consolidation criteria of each group company28. Considering the workforce engaged in the Group's projects, the total at 31 December 2022 is over 82 thousand direct and indirect resources.

28 i.e.: (i) the number of employees regardless of the investment percentage for consolidated companies; (ii) the number of employees in proportion to the investment percentage for joint operations; and (iii) none of the employees are included in the calculation for equity-accounted investees and other companies.

New hires and outgoing employee trends are affected by the unique nature of the infrastructure sector, where workers are taken on for specific projects with employment contracts that usually end when the works have been completed.

In 2022, the Group hired 11,322 resources, including 4,585 under 30 years of age. Outgoing employees numbered 5,549, and this figure includes the transfers of resources among group sites. The greatest number of incoming resources was seen in Asia and the Middle East, while most departures were seen in the Americas as a result of the stage of completion on the main ongoing projects.

Attraction, selection and development

In 2022, Webuild carried on with its "Next-Gen" plan, launched in 2021 for young talents in Italy and abroad. This initiative is designed to help train the up-and-coming generations and to create jobs and opportunities for professional training in the infrastructure industry. It includes partnerships with Italian and international universities, research and innovation projects focused on diversity and sustainability, and technical schools for the training and employment of specialised workers. Employee attraction, selection and development activities comply with the principles contained in the Code of Ethics and company policies.

Employer Branding

There was a gradual return to the office after the restrictions imposed to deal with the Covid-19 emergency in previous years. Webuild's approach to this "new normal" was to consolidate the experience acquired in using digital tools, which have now entered the daily life of the new generations in a disruptive and essential way while concurrently promoting as much as possible in-person participation at physical events to engage face-to-face with young talents and close the gap. To this end, it organised around 30 events during the year using all the tools available, ranging from assessment simulations, seminars held by Webuild managers, career orientation meetings, career days and recruitment days, representing a valuable opportunity to engage with the younger generations.

The young generations are a fundamental resource to the Group, which reiterated and extended its commitment with innovative and engaging initiatives that gave young people the opportunity to get to know the Group and test themselves through competitions organised by Webuild with the main Italian universities and other multinational groups.

During the year, Webuild continued to cultivate strategic relationships with Italian and international universities, participating in initiatives targeted directly at the students as well as playing an active role in the definition of guidelines, the joint planning of placements and recruitments, analyses of educational requirements and the evaluation of the courses offered by the universities to ensure that they are increasingly aligned with the business world's real needs.

Main initiatives of 2022

In 2022, UniWeLab, the research lab set up by Webuild and Genoa University in 2021, promoted a hackathon for undergraduates to brainstorm innovative ideas for sustainable mobility in the Genoa area. The winning team reinterpreted the "Sopraelevata", the Genoa flyover, as a green belt for the city while the lab ended its first year of activity with the publication of the UniWeLab book describing its experiences and the training and innovation activities performed.

The first edition of the Alberto Giovannini Award ended in March. It was set up in memory of the Group's former chairperson, following his untimely passing in 2019. Aimed at making a concrete contribution to the professional growth of young people, the award is open to all Italian universities engaged in promoting innovation in the construction sector. The winners of the first edition were awarded an international internship, upon completion of which they were offered a place in the Group. The PhD bursary to stimulate research and innovation in the sector was assigned to the Turin Polytechnic University.

Again during the year, as part of the Webuild Next-Gen initiative, Webuild was committed to promoting the universities of southern Italy with an initiative that involved students from various universities and saw them work in groups on innovative projects, the challenge4Sud.

As well as focusing on universities pivotal to its reference markets, Lane rekindled its relationships with the organisers of national conferences targeted at a diverse university-level audience. For the second consecutive year, it participated in the Society for Women Engineers (SWE) conference as well as the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) national conference in November and will also attend the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) conference in March 2023. This new, more targeted approach allows the group company to strengthen brand awareness with selected partners, focussing on fewer organisations but with greater involvement before, during and after events. Its commitment runs throughout the entire academic year through posts on social media, seminars and general support provided to students in interview simulations and resume workshops.

Standardisation of the Group's approach to employer branding, both online and in-person, led to the development of a scalable solution, perfect for dealing with the ongoing transition from events that had moved completely online to a hybrid combination of online and in-person.

Lane's team is also trialling a programme to provide high school students with summer internships. This programme will increase brand awareness at an earlier stage to stimulate students' interest in the large infrastructure industry and help solve the skill shortage in the US.

Italy United States Australia

In 2022, the Group continued to partner with the University of Technology (UTS) in Sydney. The recipients of the 2022 Australia Tomorrow's Builders Scholarships were identified while the "Women in Engineering and IT" programme was renewed to promote women engineers' academic and professional training.

Webuild will continue its partnership with UTS in 2023, supporting the "Women in Engineering & IT" programme and minority groups through scholarships in engineering and construction courses.

The University of Melbourne in the state of Victoria renewed the two scholarships funded by Webuild for a male student who received the "Webuild Master of Engineering Scholarship" and a female engineering student who was awarded the "Webuild Women into Engineering Pathway Scholarship".

During the year, Webuild entered into a partnership with the University of Queensland to fund two scholarships for First Nations engineering students, reflecting how important it is to the Group to develop the young talents in the areas where it operates. The first recipients will start their courses in 2023. This partnership speaks to the importance to the Group of inclusion and diversity as guiding tenets, helping to affirm Webuild as a Diversity Employer. Webuild will also participate in the 2023 Innovation Challenges, contributing to stimulate the creativity of engineering students and the development of new sustainability options.

During the year, the Universum classification of the "Most Attractive Employers Italy 2022" confirmed Webuild's position among the top 30 for STEM professionals in Italy. Webuild is also the most attractive business in the construction sector for both categories of the survey.

As part of the "Italy's Best Employers 2022/23" study carried out by La Repubblica, Affari&Finanza on a highlevel data base using the social listening method and AI to assess a company's online reputation, Webuild obtained the top score of 100/100.

These prestigious accolades bolster the Group's reputation on the labour market and its appeal as an employer of choice, supported by its regular notification of job vacancies at all levels and its core values, starting with how it cares for its employees in the more than 50 countries where it operates.

The challenges of the next few years posed by the construction sector's fast-paced growth, boosted by public investments in infrastructure, has extended the Employer Branding reference target to secondary school students and professionals of other sectors. Webuild has already launched initiatives to augment its brand awareness and the attractiveness of its sector with this new target base though presentations by managers at technical secondary schools (specialised in construction, the environment and local communities) while others are in the pipeline, such as Open Days at group work sites. These Open Days are both a good opportunity to showcase the Group's activities to potential candidates and to engage with the local communities.

Selection and acquisition

The employee selection and acquisition activities are regulated by a defined, standardised procedure at corporate level and for its projects that require the structured scheduling of requirements, followed by an internal scouting stage to verify any potential internal candidates for the vacant position or recruitment on the market (if necessary).

The Company uses a dedicated system that ensures the traceability and transparency of the scouting and selection process by constantly updating the pipeline of candidates.

Alongside the recruiting activities to fill vacant positions, in 2022, the Company continued to use its advanced search tool to create a national and international pool of talents for future staffing needs and to complete its succession plan as an additional lever to guarantee and ensure business continuity. It will continue this project into 2023 by extending the analyses performed to date.

During the year, the Group continued its inclusion-oriented selection programme, launched in 2021 to foster diversity and inclusion as part of Webuild's 2021-2023 ESG plan.

This inclusion-oriented selection programme is comprised of three steps covering:

  • the presentation of diversity-oriented shortlists (when possible);
  • assessment of the working for inclusion skill described in the leadership model;
  • the presentation of blind CVs to managers involved in selection to avoid possible involuntary bias during the selection phase.

The programme was implemented at the head office in 2021, before being extended to the branches in 2022. It will be adopted by all directly managed projects and joint ventures led by Webuild in 2023. The Company shared its new selection guidelines with the suppliers that assisted the Group with personnel scouting and selection to ensure their consistent application.

To indirectly support its international staffing activities and to meet the large growth in demand for workers, partly a result of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the Group stepped up its vetting of international recruitment agencies during the year with a view to creating new partnerships covered by master agreements at advantageous terms for all group entities.

2022 also saw the Group heavily involved in recruitment with a view to the career orientation of the new generations: considering just the Italian contracts alone, the Group hired around a hundred young talents, who chose Webuild for their first job, during the year.

Management training and development

Fostering personal development and talents is important to Webuild to build its business. In 2022, it introduced and refreshed tools, programmes and initiatives to support and promote career paths, organisational growth and the continuity of its succession plans.

Performance Management

The performance management model defines and assesses each employee's contribution to the achievement of the Group's objectives in terms of the results achieved and the skills and approaches acquired.

Its main characteristics are:

  • a dedicated application for performance management;
  • assignment of objectives and performance assessment based on two factors: the "what" (result) and "how" (managerial skills in action). The reference managerial skills are those of the Group's Leadership Model, encompassing the soft skills and practices necessary to achieve the Group's objectives;
  • dialogue between the manager and the employee starting with the agreement of individual objectives through to the assessment of performance and practices deployed.

The model promotes management by objective and a culture of feedback, involving managers in the personnel development choices, the identification of growth paths on the basis of the gaps identified as well as the strengthening of tools for managing talents and key resources, including as part of succession planning.

After its deployment at corporate level, in 2022, the model was extended to white collars at the Italian group companies and the project managers and supervisors of the Italian projects as part of the plan for its progressive roll-out to all the Group's operating entities.

Once again, the process was supported by in-person and online training courses to provide guidance about the correct assignment of objectives, performance assessments and management of feedback.

Managerial and talent development

In 2022, the Group continued to hone and introduce dedicated tools to identify talents and accelerate their growth paths towards management positions both at corporate and project level. This approach is designed to support the global staffing strategy in line with the Group's business growth.

One of Webuild's key development tools for its senior and upcoming managers is its Global Managerial Academy. This school provides training paths for figures who are already working in key roles or who are growing inside the Company tailored to their seniority and designed to foster both the development of their managerial and technical skills that are fundamental to the Group's business.

2022 saw a return to in-person training courses to encourage greater participation and networking among the attendees based at different group entities. Since its inception in 2022, the Global Managerial Academy has provided training to 170 managers from all over the world working in different business areas.

In addition to specific tools designed to foster personnel development introduced in previous years, Webuild introduced:

  • assessment pathways to encourage the growth and promotion of its more senior resources, flanked by dedicated training and development initiatives (e.g., business coaching);
  • a structured succession planning process to ensure a pipeline of successors for the Group's key strategic roles, both at head office and operations levels to guarantee business continuity.

In the second half of the year, Webuild defined a new assessment methodology for use in a mapping and identification project in the first half of 2023 in order to create a structured system to identify and manage young talents. It will then be able to introduce targeted action plans to foster growth with special development initiatives such as job rotations, a dedicated Academy, mentorships and technical training courses.

E-Learning Academy

The Group's eLearning platform, E-Learning Academy, promotes ongoing skill acquisition. It provides online courses for self-learning, enabling a large part of the workforce to complete their mandatory training courses and technical and managerial courses.

In 2022, the platform was refreshed with new content and functionalities in order to make it easier to use and monitor. It currently has over 100 learning pills and training courses on technical subjects, innovation, leadership and compliance.

Knowledge Management and Technical Training

The Company set up a new Knowledge Management and Technical Training unit in 2020 to capitalise on internal skills by sharing and leveraging the Group's know-how and to develop new skills to tackle the sector's future challenges.

Knowledge Management

During 2022, the Company continued its Knowledge Management Programme as part of its drive to optimise the knowledge-sharing tools and methods and access to specialist expertise, significantly improving the Company's competitiveness in the production and related sectors and bolstering the retention and expertise of Webuild employees.

The purpose of the Knowledge Management Programme is to provide employees with a service to capitalise their know-how as a 360-degree change management tool and provide the Group with a competitive edge, including through the deployment of digital technologies.

The Knowledge Management Programme has two main areas: the design of an integrated platform to host "explicit" information and collaboration communities that can capitalise on specific knowledge to make it easy to deploy as needed by transforming "tacit" skills into "explicit" skills in a digital format. It was necessary to establish the needs and requirements of the people in the different functions to design the Knowledge Management platform, aimed at reaching easily traceable information in a structured way and in profiled sharing, after which a concept of the new innovative Knowledge Management process and the related implementation roadmap were defined.

Based on this model, Webuild defined a standard applicable to the first two use cases and selected pilot work sites. It also set up two communities: the Innovation Community, to share internal know-how about innovative topics, and the IT & DS Community for employees specialised in Information Technologies and Digital Systems. The aim of these communities is to allow them to consult about problems, share solutions and ideas and to make their daily work more efficient. These communities significantly improve operating efficiency both by encouraging the sharing and re-deploying of best practices developed by one work site and transferring them to another and by creating a work environment with a single point of access. Thanks to a network of experts skilled in identifying effective, fast and appropriate solutions, recurring problems can be resolved easily and quickly.

Technical training

The Italian construction sector will see exponential growth in the next few years due to the state investments earmarked for it as part of the plan to relaunch the economy together with the funds set aside for infrastructure by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Therefore, there will be great need for specialised labour, which is not currently available on the market due to the stagnant situation of the sector in recent years.

To meet this need, in 2022, Webuild set up a trade school, "Scuola di Mestieri", designed to train and employ a new generation of specialised workers in the infrastructure sector.

The Scuola di Mestieri vocational courses bring together theory and on-site experience. The school aims to deliver specialist training to new resources and to integrate them into the Group, offering the security of stable employment and solid career prospects.

Alongside classroom lessons, the new hires will be mentored in the work sites by more senior resources who have been provided with tailored training on how to effectively pass on their know-how. Simulators will also be used to allow both the new hires and their mentors to trial critical conditions in a safe environment.

The school's key objectives are:

  • attract resources to the construction sector to benefit the entire industry;
  • develop a pool of strategic resources qualified to respond to the medium to long-term changes the sector will face;
  • provide reskilling pathways and rehiring of currently unemployed resources, embracing the National Recovery and Resilience Plan's mission for labour policies;
  • leverage the know-how accumulated in-house on an international scale;
  • install a culture of safety;
  • standardise skillsets.

The Scuola di Mestieri has a tailored selection process which includes aptitude tests to assess candidates' awareness of safety issues, as well as their interpersonal skills, willingness to learn and professional ethics.

The attraction, selection and development activities, described above, help the Company mitigate risks such as not being able to fill positions due to a lack of qualified personnel available on the market, or a time lapse between the assignment of the project and the starting of works, or an inability to retain and motivate key professionals, including for the broader business continuity purposes.

The school's underlying aim is to transfer the Group's exclusive skill set to new resources, to cultivate the workers of the future while continuing to invest in Webuild people and unceasingly ramp up its own internal expertise.

The school was involved in three pilot projects rolled out on a trial basis during the year:

  • the Giovi third railway crossing Genoa Junction project (the high-speed railway line that will connect Genoa to Milan) in the first half of the year;
  • the SS-36 state road Jonica project in August, with the training of master builders who will act as tutors for the new recruits and will continue with the first placements of young trainees;
  • the Hirpinia Orsara section of the high-speed Naples Bari railway line project, for the work performed by the TBM, towards the end of the year.

During the year, in order to increase training capacity and extend the project to the Group's professional staff and managers, Webuild began to blue print an internal academy to attract, on-board, train and develop professionals with the skills required by the Group in the 2023-2026 period. The aim is to both to achieve internal upskilling and provide training to the local communities.

During the year, Webuild continued to focus on professional development and technical skills both by developing specific courses at head office level and providing courses locally in the various geographical areas where it is present. Its objective is to ensure that work is performed in accordance with its technical, quality, environmental, health and safety standards as well as to ensure that it has qualified personnel available for its current and future projects. Accordingly, projects continue to deliver professional training courses for the local workforce, defined using parameters that identify the training requirements and needs for each position and employees are required to attend the specific training course identified for their roles and requirements (both classroom-based and on-site).

These courses avoid the risk that employees' technical, professional and managerial skills become obsolete as this could affect the productivity, efficiency and safety of their jobs.

The Group drew up an environmental training plan in line with its climate transition road map and the 2021- 2023 ESG plan objectives. Its intention is to inform, raise awareness and provide technical training tailored to the reference target focused on, in particular, decarbonisation, the circular economy, biodiversity and environmental protection.

In line with the previous year, the Group continued to deliver its training course on environmental sustainability in the construction sector "Sostenibiltà ambientale in constrAction: eco-design, decarbonizzazione ed economica circolare" in 2022.

This course was prepared by the Safety, Environment and Quality and Corporate Social Responsibility Departments in collaboration with the Turin Polytechnic for employees at the head office and group companies. It offers a concrete, objective and specific approach to climate change, the circular economy and decarbonisation tailored to the construction sector.

Training hours (classroom and on-site) provided in 2022 covered many aspects (health and safety, the environment, quality, technical/specialist, compliance, management, etc.) for a total of 730,734 hours (400,407 hours in 2021). These courses were supplemented by health and safety courses provided directly at the work sites, which are very important as awareness-raising and prevention tools. During 2022, the Group carried out roughly 178 thousand Toolbox Talks (147 thousand in 2021)-short meetings on health and safety-related aspects and the environment held at the start of work shifts- at its work sites. Overall, Toolbox Talks on health and safetyrelated aspects numbered approximately 131 thousand (125 thousand in 2021) which, including those on the environment, brought the average to more than 480 a day (400 in 2021).

In addition to training given to group personnel, the staff of the Group's subcontractors attended courses on QHSE subjects totalling 266,347 hours in 2022.

A total of 997,081 hours of training were provided in 2022 to direct and indirect personnel (561,445 in 2021).

Total reward

The Company has operating procedures and practices designed to ensure that its remuneration policies comply with the regulations applicable in the countries where the Group operates and especially the minimum wage requirements, where these exist. At both corporate and operating level, the Company regularly meets with the trade union representatives (when appointed) to discuss remuneration.

A well-thought out remuneration policy is essential to retain key resources, mitigating the risks Webuild is exposed to, which are mainly the possible more aggressive remuneration and career policies of competitors. To this end, Webuild's remuneration policy has the following objectives: guarantee fair treatment in terms of the enhancement of know-how and professional skills of individuals and their roles and responsibilities, check that remuneration matches the related positions, ensure fair and consistent remuneration in line with the reference market and award bonuses in line with results and actions.

Webuild's remuneration policy has the following objectives in line with the above principles: retain and motivate qualified professional resources to pursue the Company's and Group's objectives; encourage these resources to stay with the Company and the Group; align, as far as possible, management's interests with the medium to long-term interests of shareholders and stakeholders; ensure financial balance and the sustainability of its policies over time.

The Company continued its Short-Term Incentive (STI) programme for its key resources during the year, with the objective of strengthening the results-orientated culture. The programme is part of the Performance management system which has continued the approach to setting objectives and assessing performance and

includes a skills assessment section, in order to obtain an overall assessment of managers by considering not only what they have achieved, but how have they done it. The STI programme has three categories of objectives: the first is that of the Group's performance in line with that of senior management. The second is individual performance while the third refers to the skills requested of each position. At the end of the year, the results are assessed in qualitative and quantitative terms and considered together with the skills to determine the overall performance achieved.

The safety objectives related to the development and implementation of the quality, environment and safety management system and a reduction in the injury rate continue to be included for resources in the operations area. These objectives reflect the Company's commitment to improving the protection of its workers' health and safety and ensuring high quality standards and protection of shared environmental assets.

During the year, the Company continued its long-term incentive plan, the LTI 2020-2022 plan, to align the performance of the Group's key personnel with shareholders' interests as well as to retain and engage with management to ensure the stability required to meet the business plan objectives and remunerate them in line with market practices. As well as being tied to economic and financial indicators, the three-year plan also includes achievement of specific sustainability objectives. The two non-financial objectives (equal to 20% of the total) reflect the Company's commitment to ESG issues, which are an increasingly integrated part of Webuild's business strategies. They include an injury rate reduction goal (it should be noted that Webuild's injury frequency rate is much lower than its peers) and involvement in the shared fight against climate change by reducing the Group's GHG emissions intensity (scope 1 and 2).

Webuild is aware of the importance that employee satisfaction plays in terms of the quality and productivity of their output and that work/life balance also contributes to this satisfaction. In 2022, it activated a number of services to draw attention to the importance of a good work/life balance as employees returned to work in their new premises.

Another important aspect of this issue relates to the journey from home to work by private means of transportation, which can be very stressful especially in large cities. Webuild is convinced that mobility is one of the main issues that a company dedicated to the well-being of its employees and protection of the environment should manage as best it can. In 2022, it confirmed the home-work travel plan, launched at the end of 2021, which sets out initiatives and solutions to improve and make the journey from people's homes to the office more sustainable. It considered the possibility to work from home and the needs of its employees as per the dedicated survey.

Equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion

The Group is committed to maintaining a work environment that fosters inclusion, recognition and appreciation of diversity in all its forms (gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, social or civil status and religion). It believes that this gives it a competitive edge in terms of growth, the creation of synergies and in understanding and capitalising on the challenges of a multi-cultural business environment in line with the guidance set out in its Policy on Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Inclusion.

This approach includes the awareness-raising, communication, employer banding, recruiting and training initiatives and actions to proactively foster an inclusive culture which supports diversity.

As described in the "Employer Branding" section, Webuild has extended and consolidated its commitment to funding scholarships and courses both for female students and young people in general as part of its partnerships with leading universities and national and international bodies.

Turning to recruiting, the Group continued and reinforced the inclusion-oriented selection process (see the "Selection and acquisition" section) demonstrating its intention to align its processes ever more closely with the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion.

In 2022, Webuild confirmed its membership of the Italian association Valore D, which promotes gender balance and an inclusive culture both through training, as well as communication and networking. This paved the way for the Company's involvement in numerous training initiatives, including mentoring programmes to foster management skills and reinforcement of an inclusive culture, workshops, training labs and talks, designed to cultivate soft skills together with leadership skills.

Inspire – Webuild's mentoring programme

Webuild extended its mentoring project, designed to promote its people's development and strengthen a corporate and transversal culture.

In 2022, the Inspire programme involved two initiatives focused on the enhancement of diversity and inclusion through:

  • continuation of the onboarding mentoring project, where a mentor (a more senior figure) is associated with a younger new hire (the mentee) to stimulate mutual growth and intergenerational exchange;
  • launch of a mentoring project for female leadership to encourage the development of women in managerial roles and/or towards roles with greater responsibilities.

Webuild's training and awareness raising initiatives also included an online course on unconscious bias held during the year.

The Group's commitment to fostering a diversity and inclusion culture was demonstrated with Webuild Italia's certification pursuant to ISO 30415 Human resource management - Diversity and Inclusion. This achievement confirms the Group's work to incorporate greater inclusiveness and sustainability in its approach and development of HR processes.

The Group has employees of more than 100 nationalities, 89% of the workforce is local, increasing to 99% in Italy, 96% in Africa and 99% in the Americas. Local managers make up 77% of the total (more information is available in the "Social" section of this Statement).

The Group's leadership status is characterised by international managers from non-construction companies who contribute their different views and outlooks. International resources cover 24% of the Group's key positions.

Another important contributor to diversity is the young age of the Group's resources. The following tables provide a breakdown of its employees by age bracket:

Employees by age bracket (GRI 405-1) Unit 2020 2021 2022
< 30 years % 26% 24% 25%
30-50 years % 58% 58% 58%
> 50 years % 16% 18% 17%

Considering employees under 35 years old, the percentage of this age bracket increases to 44%.

With respect to gender diversity, the Company proactively promotes equal opportunities for men and women in a sector that has traditionally been a male domain.

Employees by gender (GRI 405-1) Unit 2020 2021 2022
Men % 88% 88% 88%
Women % 12% 12% 12%

At group level, women make up 8% of the management team, 24% of white collars and 7% of the blue collars, while at functional level, they represent 6% of the technical and production staff and 34% of the office employees.

The presence of female employees is higher at the central Milan and Rome offices, where they make up 35% of the total workforce.

In 2022, the Group continued to develop its gender pay gap analysis method. Its purpose was to analyse any remuneration differences and assess the percentage of female employees holding senior positions in the Group by comparing roles using the job evaluation system.

It included measures to eliminate the remuneration differences for certain categories in the 2022 remuneration policies.

As described in the previous sections, recruitment, development and training activities will continue to focus on equal opportunities for access to management positions, in order to increase the number of female employees holding senior positions.

Accordingly, and with specific reference to the succession plans for key roles, the percentage of women included in the succession plan for key roles in 2022 was 21%. Webuild confirms its target of 25% for the end of 2023. It has also implemented dedicated tools to increase the number of women in management and key positions.

Health and safety in the workplace

Focus on health and safety in the workplace is one of Webuild's fundamental values. It has an ISO 45001 certified occupational health and safety management system, which defines the main processes, roles and specific responsibilities to achieve its objectives and implement its safety policies.

The new certifications have been updated during the year to reflect the change in the Group's scope after the integration of the Astaldi Group companies and contracts.

Organisational units

The Corporate Safety, Environment and Quality Department is organised to best meet management's objectives:

  • ensuring coordination of the HSE management system activities to be of use to HSE teams at work sites;
  • encouraging a change in the HSE culture through a competence centre to develop innovative policies and programmes;
  • strengthening the integration of health and safety aspects within engineering processes through the technical safety unit;
  • monitoring health at corporate level and providing guidance for work sites;
  • ensuring continued health and safety operating support to the work sites.

The main risk the Group is exposed to in this respect is the incomplete implementation of the relevant regulations with the resulting potential impact on its workers, in terms of professional illnesses and injuries, and on itself in terms of potential sanctions. Changes in regulations and external factors tied to the operating context (e.g., climate, social, cultural factors) may be sources of risk for the Company.

Specifically, workers are exposed to various types of risks that could affect their health and safety based on the geographical location of each operating unit and their specific activities. Each office and work site that applies the Group's health and safety management system has, inter alia, the following measures to manage these risks:

  • identification and assessment of the exposure to the risk;
  • identification of the persons at risk;
  • assessment of each job's risks;
  • identification of control measures to reduce the risk;

  • definition and introduction of training courses;
  • monitoring work areas to check that control measures are in place and effective;
  • making employees aware of these risks, including via unconventional and innovative information, training and communication campaigns.

These measures are regulated by internal guidelines and procedures, which include, inter alia, the documentation each operating unit is required to have, comprising the risk assessment document, operating safety plans, emergency and evacuation plans, fire prevention and control plans and first aid plans.

The Employer and downstream (in line with the proxy system) the managers, officers and workers ensure that health and safety management measures are in place. Specialist teams oversee the implementation of the measures in each operating unit. Specific attention is given to training employees about specific duties and the operating controls over work processes, performed either directly by the Group's employees or subcontractors' staff.

Training programmes are defined at operating unit level by the health and safety management system manager and approved by the Employer, based on a risk assessment and the applicable legislative requirements. The training courses provided to each worker cover at least the following issues:

  • the health and safety organisation (Employer, health and safety manager, prevention and protection officers, company doctor and the workers' safety representative), the legislative framework and an overview of the management system;
  • health and safety risks arising from the Group's activities in general and the specific risks faced by the workers depending on their job;
  • first aid and emergency management procedures (in particular, the fire fighting and evacuation plans).

The health and safety managers receive special information and training courses. The key topics are the legalregulatory framework, safety management and organisation, risk identification and measurement, communication, training and discussions with workers.

The health and safety officers and supervisors undergo additional training to that provided to the workers on the definition and identification of risk factors, incidents and near misses, techniques to communicate with and raise the awareness of employees, checking that workers comply with the legal and internal rules and the use of collective and personal protection equipment.

Workers, health and safety officers and supervisors and managers attend regular refresher courses. The courses for health and safety specialists (Protection and Prevention Manager, Protection and Prevention Officer, First Aid Officers, etc.), meet the minimum requirements of the relevant legislation.

The work site workers (employees of the Group and its subcontractors) receive special training on the related risks, specific activities and the possible risks of interference (Induction, Tool Box Talks, Job Safety Analysis/Pre-Job Meetings, etc).

In order to ensure the collaboration of all the Group's employees, they have the right to appoint safety representatives in accordance with the applicable legislation.

These representatives are given the relevant training and information. They are also consulted when key mitigation measures are implemented, including as a minimum:

  • the introduction of a new process or equipment or its adaption;
  • the appointment of the risk assessment manager;
  • injuries.

The Health and Safety Policy provides for, inter alia, the "right to intervene" for all employees when there is a doubt that health or safety could be compromised.

Employees may also use the whistleblowing system described in the section on "Anti-corruption" to make notifications about health and safety issues or they may use the other available channels at group level (e.g., reporting to their superior) or work site level (e.g., the workers' representatives, post boxes, grievance mechanisms).

The Corporate Safety, Environment and Quality Department regularly performs specific audits of the effective application of the ISO 45001 management system at the Group's work sites and assesses application of the internal health and safety in the workplace regulations.

Valyou – Our Health and Safety Way

The roll-out of the safety Builders Program was re-activated in 2022 as the Covid-19 emergency measures were eased. This program's objective is to encourage a strong corporate safety culture, based on strengthening leadership abilities at all management levels. It is part of Webuild's more wide-reaching communication strategy, Valyou - Our Health and Safety Way project.

Thanks in part to careful planning, 66 workshops and 32 safety intervention (s.a.f.e.r.) training courses were held in 2022, with the participation of 1,407 managers and supervisors for a total of roughly 7,933 hours of training.

As an integral part of the Valyou - Our Health and Safety Way, Webuild continued to roll out and introduce its "Your Lifesaving Rules". Launched in 2019, this set of operating and management rules is devised to:

  • integrate the culture change process commenced with the Safety Builders Program;
  • foster workers' active involvement;
  • strengthen the sense of belonging to the Group;
  • systematise conduct;
  • promote the purposive adoption of the Group's Health & Safety Vision.

The Company's main workplaces celebrated the World Day for Safety and Health at Work ("WSD") in April 2022. In line with the theme promoted by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) "Act together to build a positive safety and health culture", the Group focused on cultivating open communication and dialogue based on trust, feedback and mutual respect for a positive health and safety culture. Participation in the event was very satisfactory with more than 33 Italian and foreign work sites celebrating the event and actively involving managers and workers in Safety Management Walkabouts and Toolbox Talks to promote the near miss report and the use of the right to intervene (safety intervention).

The Group awarded the Safety Trophy to the work site that stood out both during the WSD celebrations and throughout the year. The award ceremony took place in December 2022 with the "virtual" awarding of the trophy by the CEO Pietro Salini to the Milan Metro Line 4 work site.

The objective of the activities carried out in the work sites as part of the ValYou project, the Safety Builders Program, the Your Life Saving Rules, dedicated training courses to hone skills in addition to the mandatory courses and the celebration of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work is to heighten awareness of all Webuild personnel and the personnel of its suppliers and subcontractors of the importance of health and safety in the workplace as well as emphasising management's significant involvement in promoting culture change programmes.

Safety performance

There has been a significant improvement in the Group's safety performance.

The gradual winding back of the measures adopted to curb the spread of Covid-19 made it possible to increase training, meetings and information on safety activities, which are fundamental to preventing injuries. The greater mobility of resources also meant resuming support, assessment and audit activities at worksites, which contributed to reducing the number of injuries.

The injury rates are set out below, expressed as the number of events for every million hours worked29 .

Injury rates - Direct workforce (GRI 403-9) Unit 2020 2021 2022
Hours worked hours 79,594,548 89,844,575 96,203,020

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate LTIFR 2.427 3.294 2.792
Total Recordable Frequency rate TRFR 4.72 6.02 5.82

Reference should be made to the Methodology for reporting non-financial information for details about the calculation method.

A local investigation and/or investigation with the support of the corporate units is carried out for each injury, depending on its severity. The objective is to identify the cause of the injury (root cause analysis) to prevent similar events occurring. The Integrity Board is informed of the results of investigations into important inquiries pursuant to the provisions of the Organisational model (Legislative decree no. 231/2002 as subsequently amended).

The following graph presents the LTIFR (the ratio of the total number of injuries leading to absence from work in the period to the total number of hours worked, multiplied by 1,000,000) and its improvement in recent years.

29More information about injuries recorded in the year is available in the GRI Content Index, indicator GRI 403-9. The total hours worked in 2021 were adjusted (upwards by 0.07%) to reflect information that became available after the 2021 Consolidated Non-financial Statement had been published.

The ratio improved in 2022 compared to previous years which were affected by Astaldi's entry into the Group and the reduced prevention activities due to the pandemic-imposed restrictions.

The Group has met its objective of a 40% reduction by 2022 (before introduction of the ValYou programme) compared to the 2017 LTIFR.

The Company will continue to make occupational health and safety improvements over the coming years to achieve a further reduction in its injury rates (LTIFR and TRFR), an increase in the per capita safety training provided for direct employees and as part of the Safety Builders programme, and to step up its operating monitoring activities, with on-site security assessments and audits.

Health protection

Webuild protects its workers' health in the workplace with a dedicated corporate Internal Healthcare Unit, which is in charge of health management through occupational medicine, work hygiene (performing regular inspections of the work sites to check workplace conditions and compliance with applicable legislation), travelrelated health advice, health care and medical emergencies, digitalisation of health care processes and services and health promotion initiatives.

Initiatives underway include those aimed at:

  • prevention of cardiovascular risks;
  • smoking cessation campaigns for smokers;
  • prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV) campaigns in particularly critical social and health situations;
  • prevention of flu (and its complications) through vaccine programmes (which were also in place at the end of 2021);
  • campaigns to promote healthier life styles with better nutrition and increased exercise;
  • psychological support for stress management and problem solving through an anonymous counselling service, which is active 24/7. The Group's intention is to promote the psychosocial well-being of all its people working in Italy and abroad to create an environment that fosters quality of life.

When adequate local healthcare units are not available, the Company sets up work site medical clinics which offer 24-hour healthcare and ambulance services to direct and indirect employees as well as their family members residing in the work site accommodation. The Group ensures that the local populations are also provided with healthcare assistance for acute or serious problems in remote areas not served by public healthcare units (reference should be made to the section on social aspects for more information).

Employees of the Italian head offices and those on secondment abroad from the corporate offices and their families also have private health insurance which covers healthcare services for non-work-related issues. These insurance policies cover reimbursement of medical, pharmaceutical and hospital costs (including for Covid-19) for urgent and non-deferrable treatment and/or procedures that are the consequence of illness and/or an injury. The policies also cover transfer to the nearest equipped hospital and return home of the patient or the body.

As it is aware of the added value achieved through mutually beneficial relationships between all the relevant parties, Webuild works with its commercial and financial partners and its vetted suppliers to guarantee high health and safety standards and to protect the environment.

With respect to Covid-19 infections in the third year of the pandemic, Webuild continued to maintain awareness high by monitoring the trend of infections and adopting Anti-contagion Security Protocols.

The Italian group companies introduced remote work for their office staff and ensured that its vulnerable employees took full advantage of this policy. In line with the specific risks at the Italian and foreign work sites, preventative measures have been introduced to reduce the risk of spreading the virus in the workplace, the residences and canteens. This has involved the reorganisation of work spaces and shifts to ensure the safety distance can be maintained, the supply of additional personal protection equipment, intensified sanitation and

disinfection activities, special information and training courses, more healthcare services at the work sites to support workers who became vulnerable or whose vulnerability worsened as a result of the pandemic and the preparation of special areas for the isolation of workers with flu-like symptoms who have returned from areas at risk or who have been in contact with people who may have the virus. The Group has also prepared dedicated methods to liaise with the local authorities to treat any suspected cases.

Internal policies

Webuild is committed to ensuring respect for the human rights enshrined in the International Charter of Human Rights, the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation, the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding principles on business and human rights and the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises.

The Company reaffirmed its commitment, already included in the Code of Ethics and the Sustainability Policy, with the ten principles set out in its Human Rights Policy.

These principles, that everyone who works with Webuild around the world is required to comply with, cover health and safety, child labour, forced labour, freedom of association and collective bargaining, nondiscrimination, diversity and inclusion, working conditions, local communities and the rights of indigenous people, the value chain and whistle-blowing systems.

The Company's main undertakings are described below.

Webuild does not tolerate any form of illegal, child labour or forced or compulsory labour. It protects the integrity of its employees, ensuring work conditions that respect the dignity of individuals and are fair and favourable.

It offers equal opportunities based on fair and objective criteria. It does not accept any form of discrimination or damaging behaviour.

Webuild respects its employees' right to freedom of association and collective bargaining in accordance with the legislation applicable in the countries where they work. It does not discriminate against employees who join trade unions or workers' representatives.

The Company also respects the rights and culture of the communities and indigenous peoples affected by its work and operates in accordance with the applicable requirements.

Webuild encourages respect for human rights in its values chain through specific measures, such as the screening systems, application of the Suppliers Code of Conduct and monitoring systems.

Specifically, the Suppliers' Code of Conduct encompasses the Company's commitments and the utmost integrity, correctness, reliability and sustainability standards and is a handy reference tool and guide for the Group's suppliers. It establishes the non-negotiable conduct expected of its suppliers.

In this respect, in 2014, the Company signed a framework agreement with the national trade unions (Feneal-UIL, Filca-CISL and Fillea-CGIL) and the international trade union for the construction sector (BWI - Building and Wood Workers' International) to jointly affirm and encourage respect for compliance with the basic principles and rights in employment relationships, encourage social justice and sustainable development by both itself and the consortia of which it is a member and vis-à-vis its contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

The framework agreement covers child labour, forced or compulsory labour, the freedom of association and collective bargaining, non-discrimination, work hours, economic treatment, work conditions, specialised training, the environment, welfare and employment relationships.

The Group makes whistleblowing systems available to workers and third parties, safeguarding whistleblowers from any retaliatory action and guaranteeing their anonymity, when requested.

Main risks and management methods

The Company has implemented a due diligence process in line with the UN Guiding principles for business and human rights, which entailed mapping the potential impact on human rights of the Company's operations. Accordingly, the Company analysed:

  • human rights enshrined in the international law instruments applicable to the Company;
  • parties potentially at risk;
  • internal processes.

The key takeaway of this analysis was the drafting of a Human Rights Impact Matrix, which the Group then used to measure the risks and prioritise the human rights relevant to it.

The content of the Company's Human Rights Policy (reiterated in the Suppliers Code of Conduct) draws on the results of the analysis and a thorough review and evaluation of the applicable standards and market best practices.

Risk identification and assessment process

The Group regularly performs a human rights risk assessment applying a valuation methodology (partly adapted from the Company's existing project risk assessment tools) to analyse the risks specific to each in-scope operating entity generated by its direct and subcontracted activities.

This assessment firstly considers specific indicators to define each entity's country risk30, as its geographical context (the many country-specific conditions, such as regulations, practices, etc.) is a key factor when considering human rights and the correct identification of priority areas. Therefore, where country risk is other than "low", the Company analyses the significant specific risks and the mitigation measures adopted by the entity.

Webuild carries out a routine assessment of the human rights risks of its supply chain to determine whether it has suppliers based in countries and/or that supply goods considered at risk (based on the source country)31 .

According to the most recent assessment performed at the end of 2021, roughly one third of the Group's total workforce (direct and indirect) is deployed in countries with a "very low" to "medium low" risk (e.g., Italy, Norway, the US and Australia), while the other two thirds work in "medium" or "medium high" risk countries (e.g., Ethiopia, Tajikistan, Saudi Arabia and Colombia). With respect to the latter, most of the workforce is engaged in working on six large projects that have been underway for several years and/or have nearly been completed. As a result, the Group has a very good understanding and oversight of the local situation and specific critical issues. Moreover, it does not operate in countries considered to be "high" or "very high" risk with respect to human rights.

30 Specifically, as recommended by the principal regulations on human rights (e.g., the Australian Modern Slavery Act), the Company referred to the most recent Vulnerability measures and the Government Responses supplied by Global Slavery Index (www.globalslaveryindex.org).

31 Once again, the Company referred to the Global Slavery Index to measure country risk and the lists of the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of International Labor Affairs to determine the risk related to a particular good.

The Group's commercial strategy is designed to mitigate country risk. In fact, more than 74% of its current order backlog is based in low risk countries such as the EU states (mainly Italy), North America and Oceania. In addition, nearly all the new orders of 2022 were acquired in these same areas.

With respect to the supply chain's32 general risk profile:

  • over 80% of the Group's suppliers are based in countries with risks that are either "very low" or "low";
  • none of the assessed suppliers are based in countries classified as "very high" risk and only 0.03% are based in "high" risk countries;
  • no goods at risk were purchased from significant suppliers33 during the year.

The Company has issued internal guidelines for its operating units for the correct management of the activities at risk. These guidelines provide for management and monitoring of human rights and specific reports to be sent to Corporate.

At organisational level, the Corporate Social Responsibility Department coordinates the human rights due diligence, defines the internal standards and guidelines, the reporting, disclosure and training methods and provides specialist assistance to the other internal units.

The main risks identified by the above-mentioned assessment and related management methods are summarised below.

Recruitment agencies

The main risks with respect to forced or compulsory labour are tied to the hiring of migrant workers, mainly in certain states of the Persian Gulf (Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) where the local labour force is insufficient and/or inadequate for the Group's needs. Specifically, there are two risk factors:

  • use of recruitment agencies that may adopt improper practices, such as obliging the workers to pay recruitment fees (when hired), employment fees (throughout their employment) and cash deposits which are forms of debt (debt bondage);
  • labour conditions that may limit the migrant workers' freedom of movement which are in some cases allowed or facilitated by local regulations, such as the ban on leaving their accommodation outside work hours, limitations on holiday arrangements, resignations and changes of employer.

The Group ensures that candidates for work in these countries are provided with exhaustive information about the contractual terms and work conditions in a language that they understand before they leave their country of origin. In addition, the Group fully bears the costs of recruitment, travel, visas, medical visits, etc.. Migrant workers are guaranteed the possibility to change jobs and to leave their destination country without prejudice to the possible notice obligation imposed by the applicable legislation, visa requirements and employment contracts. No workers are deprived of their identity documents unless this has been authorised by them and solely for their safekeeping. The Group requires the recruitment agencies to comply with these principles through specific contractual clauses and non-compliance entails termination of the contracts.

Working practices

While the potential risk of hiring people under the minimum working age established by the applicable local regulations is minimal, the Group's policy is only to agree employment contracts with people who are at least 18 years old irrespective of the local regulations. In countries where the presence of false identity documents is a

32 Once again, the information is taken from the assessment performed at the end of 2021.

33 A significant supplier is a supplier with contracts over €250 thousand. Below this threshold, the only purchases of goods that could be considered risky were the purchases of work clothes, foodstuffs and raw materials (such as crushed stone and sand), equal to 0.04% of total purchases.

risk (e.g., some African countries), the Group has special procedures in place to check the authenticity of the documents, either identity documents or driving licences, assisted by the local authorities.

The Group enters into employment contracts with its employees that comply with the applicable local regulations, the principles of the framework agreement signed with BWI (Building and Wood Workers' International) and those in any agreements signed with the local trade unions with respect to work hours and holidays, economic treatment and other employment aspects. The Group's intention is to ensure scrupulous compliance with the applicable regulations in each country to mitigate the risk of non-compliance and, where possible, provide conditions that are better than those envisaged by the local regulations.

The Group may potentially be exposed to the risk that discrimination against an individual employee or specific categories of employees may take place in the workplace. In this respect, the Company's HR management procedures do not allow the different treatment of employees based on their gender, nationality or ethnicity, religion, age, political beliefs, sexual orientation, disability or other characteristics protected by the regulations in force in the countries where the Group operates during the entire HR management procedure (recruitment, training, assessments and termination of employment).

To reaffirm and strengthen its commitment to these issues, the Company set out key requirements in a dedicated Policy on Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Inclusion in 2019:

  • advancement of a safe, rewarding and respectful work environment, an inclusive culture with an appreciation of the value of diversity and equal opportunities in HR management processes;
  • combating harassment and discrimination, including by instituting appropriate and formalised whistleblowing tools.

This Policy also applies to the Company's suppliers that are required to comply with its principles (as specified in the Suppliers Code of Conduct). It requires systems be put in place to monitor and report on diversity and inclusion commitments and results.

More information on the relevant projects undertaken in 2022 is available in the "Equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion" paragraph of the "Main risks and management methods" section under "Human resources".

With respect to the freedom of association and collective bargaining, the Group ensures its employees have access to "alternative systems" for dialogue in the states of the Persian Gulf where the right to the freedom of association is restricted by law. These systems include worker committees, committees set up in the camps and complaint management procedures (grievance mechanisms). The Company ensures open communications with the workers and management's availability to discuss any issues that may arise with individual employees.

Transparency and engagement with communities

In 2022, the Group continued to be committed to and to act transparently in relation to human rights with its stakeholders, especially its investors, ESG rating agencies and NGOs such as Business and Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC).

With respect to its local communities, the Group's activities may generate risks related to its core construction business, such as noise pollution, dust, vibrations, work site vehicles and damage to private property. Risks related to the acquisition of land are immaterial as the client usually acquires the land directly. However, Webuild scrupulously adheres to the legal and contractual requirements and those set out in the project impact assessments to ensure it complies with them during its work and the activities contracted to third parties (subcontractors).

Depending on the nature of the project, the local management defines the best way of involving the local stakeholders, mostly through formal meetings, informal meetings and discussions, training and official events.

Supply chain

As a result of the routine assessment of risks related to its supply chain (briefly described in the "Risk identification" paragraph of this section), the Company has defined the following approach:

  • vetting process for potential suppliers based on a dedicated human rights multi-factor assessment;
  • contract clauses that require formal acceptance of the Code of Ethics and the Suppliers Code of Conduct, and extension of this commitment to the supplier's subcontractors, which is mandatory for the contracts to be valid;
  • monitoring, checks and audits to ensure compliance with its standards;
  • regular assessments of the suppliers' performances, which include ethical and social aspects (see the "Supply chain" section).

Training and whistleblowing

As part of its push to inform and raise employee awareness of human rights issues, the Company has developed an e-learning programme for its entire workforce available through the E-learning Academy. The course is mandatory for new hires and has been available on the internal E-learning platform since April 2020. At 31 December 2022, roughly 70% of Webuild corporate employees have completed it as well as other personnel working at the Group's work sites.

With respect to access to the whistleblowing channels, all relevant persons (direct employees, supplier employees, local communities, etc.) may use the whistleblowing system described in the section on "Anticorruption" for human right notifications. In addition, when IT channels are difficult to access, the Company has introduced alternative systems such as dedicated telephone numbers and/or personnel (grievance officers), post boxes for the receipt of reports, etc.

Climate Strategy

Webuild promotes the global fight against climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy.

The Group has a transparent, structured Climate Strategy. It intends to draw on its strategy to act as a beacon in the infrastructure industry supporting its clients in their journey to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

The strategy has three priority areas of intervention:

34In terms di tCO2e Scope 1 & 2/€M. Scope 1 & 2 indicate the emissions generated directly by the work sites and offices (scope 1) and by the electrical energy purchased (scope 2)

35International organisation that establishes guidelines to calculate targets related to companies' contribution to decarbonisation in line with the Paris Agreement using a scientific approach.

In recent years, the Group has made good inroads: nearly all its activities contribute to advancement towards the SDGs and more than 80% of its 2022 revenue is EU taxonomy-eligible (see the dedicated box in this section). Moreover, although its absolute GHG emissions (scope 1 & 2)36 have increased by 7% over 2021, this variation is significantly lower than the Group's business growth and expansion with revenue up 26% compared to 2021 and the ramp-up of some important projects in 2022. The Group's results reflect its steps taken to decarbonise its core business and works.

The Group's achievements are confirmed by the independent accolades received such as its inclusion in the "Europe Climate Leaders 2022" ranking drawn up by Statistica with the Financial Times and in the "Azienda più attente al clima 2022" (The most climate-conscious companies of 2022) by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera/Pianeta 2030.

Business mix

Webuild occupies a unique place in its market thanks to its focus on developing low-carbon footprint infrastructure (i.e., that contributes to climate change mitigation) and/or resilient infrastructure (i.e., that contributes to climate change adaptation).

Specifically, the Group's sustainability mobility (railways and metros), clean hydro energy and green buildings projects contribute significantly to reducing GHG emissions in the transport, energy and real estate sectors, the largest contributors to the climate-altering emissions.

36 Scope 1 (emissions from fuel, explosives and refrigerant gases), Scope 2 (emissions from electricity purchased, market-based method).

The hydro energy, railway and metro projects underway will generate very significant benefits in terms of less emissions and greater numbers of people served, as summarised below37 .

Moreover, by improving the resilience of infrastructure, the Group's clean water and sustainable mobility (roads, bridges and tunnels38) projects also contribute to adapting to climate change, which can be:

  • chronic (e.g., higher temperatures, water scarcity), as in the case of drinking water and water treatment projects, aqueducts and water storage for drinking water and/or irrigation and desalination plants;
  • acute (e.g., adverse weather events), such as hydraulic projects in urban areas to reduce flooding and the related water pollution or transport infrastructure projects (to improve its resilience).

The ongoing clean water projects respond to the specific requirements of areas affected by increasing water scarcity (such as the desalination plants built in the Middle East and irrigation water storage in Africa), the more frequent extreme weather events (the hydraulic projects carried out in the main urban centres in the US) and the pollution of rivers and water basins leading to a loss of biodiversity (the Riachuelo River in Argentina and the Caloosahatchee West Basin Storage Reservoir in the US). The benefits to the populations affected by the Group's projects are summarised below39:

37 More information is available in the Methodology for reporting non-financial information – Calculation method section.

38 Designed according to resilience criteria.

39 More information is available in the Methodology for reporting non-financial information – Calculation method section.

With respect to transport infrastructure, there is a growing focus on new infrastructure's resilience to climate change. This issue is of great importance for works that are heavily exposed to the effects of atmospheric agents, such as roads, bridges and viaducts, as their resilience over time is essential to their users' safety.

The Company is well-positioned in this market as it has accumulated significant experience in the use of design techniques and studies of materials that reflect future climate projections. Example of this are the awardwinning Skytrain Bridge, built as part of the Sydney Metro Northwest project in Australia and designed to stand up to rain, flooding and winds forecast after 2100 or the New Genoa San Giorgio Bridge, designed to deal with the expected increase in rainfall over the next 80 years. It is expected that use of these design techniques will become widespread over the coming years, also given the new regulations that will be brought in from time to time.

EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities

The European Union is leading the global transition to a sustainable, resilient and low-carbon economy in line with the Paris Agreement and UN's 2030 Agenda.

By adopting the EU Green Deal, the EU institutions have defined an integrated, ambitious strategy to make Europe carbon neutral by 2050. This strategy includes plans, investments and reforms, such as, in particular, the initiatives to direct private investments (in addition to public investments) towards sustainability objectives.

The most important initiative in this respect is the EU taxonomy, adopted with Regulation (EU) no. 2020/852 (the "Regulation"), the first EU-wide classification system designed to objectively and transparently establish the criteria for classification of economic activities as environmentally sustainable.

The Regulation defines six environmental objectives to be prioritised by the European Union (climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control and protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems). It establishes that, in order to be considered as environmentally sustainable, an economic activity shall concurrently comply with four conditions:

    1. Contribute substantially to at least one of six environmental objectives;
    1. Cause no significant harm (Do No Significant Harm DNSH) to any of the other environmental objectives;
  • Meet minimum safeguards, i.e., the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the eight fundamental conventions in the Declaration of the

International Labour Organisation on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the International Bill of Human Rights;

  1. Comply with the technical screening criteria developed by the European Commission, which establishes the mandatory criteria to assess the requirements of the substantial contribution and the non-causing of significant harm by the individual economic activities.

At the end of 2022, the European Commission identified the economic activities, the technical screening criteria and the DNSH criteria for just the first two environmental objectives of climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation40. Therefore, companies are only required to report on the degree of environmental sustainability of their economic activities for these two objectives. The European Commission has only focused on a part of the European Union's economic activities as they can make a substantial contribution to reducing or stabilising GHG emissions (mitigation objective) and/or prevent the negative effects of the current or future climate on the activity, people and nature (adaptation objective)41 .

As the current regulations are updated and the subsequent delegated acts adopted for the other four environmental objectives, additional economic activities will be incorporated into the EU taxonomy.

The economic activities can be classified as:

• eligible economic activities, i.e., those economic activities that meet the definition of at least one of the activities listed in the delegated acts adopted as per Commission Delegated Regulation no. 2020/852 (for 2022, the Climate Delegated Act), irrespective of whether these activities satisfy one or all of the technical screening criteria established by the European Commission;

• non-eligible economic activities, i.e., those economic activities that do not meet the definition of at least one of the activities listed in the delegated acts adopted as per Commission Delegated Regulation no. 2020/852, but which could be included in the future after the adoption of subsequent delegated acts;

• aligned economic activities, i.e., those economic activities that, in addition to being eligible, make a substantial contribution to the achievement of at least one of the six environment objectives defined by the European Commission, do no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives, pass the minimum social safeguards and comply with the technical screening criteria established by the European Commission.

The Regulation requires that companies are required to report the KPIs for the proportion of turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (Opex) associated with taxonomy-eligible, non-eligible and aligned economic activities42 in their financial statements at 31 December 2022.

Webuild analysed all the activities performed by the legal entities included in its consolidated financial statements, in order to identify those that are eligible, non-eligible and aligned. In 2022, its entities were eligible for seven taxonomy categories and 10 economic activities for a total of 92 in-scope entities43 .

The list of eligible economic activities in 2022 is as follows:

40 Commission Delegated Regulation no. 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 ("Climate Delegated Act")

41 On 9 March 2022, Commission Delegated Regulation no. 2022/1214 included certain energy activities of the gas and nuclear sectors in the list of environmentally sustainable economic activities. As Webuild Group does not carry out these activities, it has not presented the tables set out in Annex XII for the disclosures about nuclear and fossil gas activities required by article 8.6/7 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178

42 Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation establishes that companies subject to Directive 2014/95/EU (Non-Financial Reporting Directive - NFRD) shall include in their non-financial statement "information on how and to what extent the undertaking's activities are associated with economic activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable". This requirement is completed by Commission Delegated Regulation no. 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021 (Disclosures Delegated Act) which specifies the information to be reported and the templates to use.

43 Webuild counted the number of entities separately even when they jointly participate in the same project. Had Webuild performed the count by project, the number of its eligible and significant projects would be 75. With respect to projects that involve various group entities, Webuild counted them once, considering the main contractor, and the results were extended to include subcontracted work.

Webuild subsequently assessed these entities using the technical screening criteria, the DNSH criteria and the minimum social safeguards defined for the substantial contribution to climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation. The results led to the calculation of the proportion of turnover, CapEx and OpEx recorded in 202244, as shown below:

The eligible economic activities account for 81% of turnover, 71% of CapEx and 61% of OpEx.

Of these, the environmentally sustainable activities (i.e., aligned) account for 42% of turnover, 53% of CapEx and 35% of OpEx45 and relate to four taxonomy sections and five economic activities: 2.1 Restoration of wetlands, 4.5 Electricity generation from hydropower, 6.14 Infrastructure for rail transport, 6.15 Infrastructure enabling low-carbon road transport and public transport and 7.1 Construction of new buildings. Activities 4.5 Electricity generation from hydropower and 6.14 Infrastructure for rail transport make a significant contribution to the

44 More information about the process applied by the Group to determine its eligible, non-eligible and aligned economic activities and the KPI calculation method is provided in the "Metodology for reporting non-financial information" section.

45 More information is available in the table in the section on the EU taxonomy in the Methodology for reporting non-financial information section. Such table complies with the requirements of Annex II to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021.

alignment percentages: they jointly make up more than 90% of the taxonomy-aligned turnover (approximately 86% of CapEx and 76% of OpEx). Activity 6.15 Infrastructure enabling low-carbon road transport and public transport mostly consists of projects in North America which are heavily affected by the different legislative framework.

Activity 2.1 Restoration of wetlands is the only one to make a substantial contribution to the climate change adaptation objective and, therefore, only the CapEx and OpEx related to the construction of a project able to counter the main physical risks that affect the activity46 have been considered to be aligned.

The other aligned activities (4.5 Electricity generation from hydropower, 6.14 Infrastructure for rail transport, 6.15 Infrastructure enabling low-carbon road transport and public transport and 7.1 Construction of new buildings) all make a substantial contribution to the climate change mitigation objective.

A breakdown of the aligned turnover by geographical area is provided below: 85% of the Group's environmentally sustainable turnover is generated in Europe and Asia and Oceania (93% of CapEx and 84% of OpEx).

Decarbonisation of work sites

The second area of intervention of the Group's Climate Strategy is to reduce GHG emissions of its construction business.

Since 2014, when Salini and Impregilo merged, the Group has steadily decreased its energy consumption and GHG emissions while progressively growing its operations.

46 In accordance with the provisions of Annex I to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021, for the calculation of the turnover KPI. 47 In linewith the criteria adopted to prepare the Consolidated Non-financial Statement and for consistency with the disclosures provided in this Statement, non-core activities are those carried out by the entities with limited operations (e.g., with contracts that are either starting up or nearing completion, on hold or significantly delayed) or inactive entities (e.g., in liquidation).

These achievements are the result of ongoing investments in efficiency actions and measures introduced at the Group's work sites around the world, as well as innovation programmes designed to develop technical solutions. These initiatives have enabled Webuild to move beyond the business-as-usual operating methods to define new more ambitious GHG emission objectives.

Webuild formalised its commitment to defining objectives in line with the SBTi standard in 2021 and obtained validation of its 2030 reduction targets in 2022.

The "Performance and targets" section provides a detailed description of the Group's programmes to reduce its GHG emissions associated with its construction business.

Decarbonisation of works

A steady reduction in GHG emissions associated with infrastructure projects developed by the Group is the third area of its Climate Strategy.

While work site decarbonisation aims to reduce emissions generated during the construction work, the works decarbonisation entails decreasing the emissions from permanent materials used to build the infrastructure and the emissions generated by its use.

It is essential that the entire value chain from the investors to the clients, designers, regulators and supply chain, and not just Webuild, be fully engaged and committed to achieving this objective.

Webuild has honed its expertise in the field in the construction of infrastructure in line with eco-design and construction frameworks, certified in accordance with LEED, GSAS, IS, Envision and other standards. Such approach means the Company's projects are evaluated over their entire life cycle to identify and develop integrated energy efficiency and decarbonisation solutions, right from the design stage.

The Group's objective is to make this approach standard, progressively incorporating it into new business initiatives irrespective of the adoption of eco-design and construction formats.

When agreed with the client and allowed by local technical regulations, Webuild intends to build increasingly low-carbon infrastructure, thereby decreasing its indirect emissions (scope 3).

It has defined a roadmap and specific initiatives for these scope 3 emissions (see the "Performance and targets" section).

Governance

The board of directors and its committees oversee the Company's climate change policies and performance.

The board committees most involved in this process are the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Compensation and Nominating Committee.

Specifically, the former committee, comprising six independent directors, regularly reviews the Company's ESG performance, including in relation to climate change as well as the related plans and actions. It also supervises the internal control and risk management system.

In 2021, Webuild rolled out the 2021-2023 ESG Plan which includes various climate change programmes and targets, tied to the long-term incentive plan (the 2020-2022 LTI Plan) introduced in 2020, which also includes a specific GHG emissions intensity reduction objective (scope 1 & 2).

At management level, oversight of climate aspects is guaranteed by all the headquarters units involved (in line with the Company's matrix organisational structure), which in turn coordinate the peripheral units.

Specifically, senior management adopts the Climate Strategy and targets proposed by the Corporate Social Responsibility Department.

In order to define and monitor progress on the Group's main decarbonisation programmes, it has set up various interdepartmental and interdisciplinary teams at headquarters level since 2018, including:

  • CLEF (Climate and Energy Efficiency) team48, which researches, tests and introduces new solutions and technologies to reduce scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions;
  • LCO (Life Cycle Optimisation) team49, focused on researching, testing and introducing new solutions and technologies to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions.

Between 2018 and 2021, the CLEF team has mostly engaged in developing and testing solutions to make the excavation activities more efficient as they are one of the most energy intensive areas of the large infrastructure sector. The LCO team worked mainly on optimising the use of cement and concrete and developing new lowcarbon solutions, including together with the supply chain.

As mentioned earlier, in 2022, the Group obtained SBTi validation of its 2030 absolute emission reduction targets.

Integration of climate criteria as an integral way of doing business entails raising awareness and technical expertise about the issue. Accordingly, in 2022, the Company continued its internal communication campaign dedicated to ESG issues, including the World Environment Day celebrated in June, as well as technical training courses carried out with the Turin Polytechnic.

Main climate-related risks and opportunities

The Group analysed the risks and opportunities of climate change, based on three physical scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the key features of which are:

48 Comprising the Plant and Equipment (Global Supply Chain) and Environment (Group HR, Organisation and Systems) units and the Corporate Social Responsibility Department.

49 Comprising the Procurement (Global Supply chain) and Environment (Group HR, Organisation and Systems) units and the Bidding & Engineering and Corporate Social Responsibility Departments.

All the scenarios include a rise in the temperature and physical impacts caused by climate change but at different speeds and magnitudes. Webuild has identified and assessed the effects of the potential risks and opportunities based on these scenarios in the short-term (<2 years), medium-term (2-5 years) and long-term (>5 years).

The findings of the scenario analysis and the climate risk & opportunity assessment were shared and integrated into the Group's Global Risk Assessment process.

The main risks and opportunities are described in the following sections.

Advanced scenario analysis

The US group company Lane (USA) is involved in the Future World Vision: Infrastructure Reimagined project promoted by ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) to develop a software system using AI to simulate future trends of the construction sector over different timelines (10, 25 and 50 years). The project considers scenario analyses and six key mega trends for the sector: alternative energy, autonomous vehicles, climate change, smart cities, high tech construction/advanced materials, and policies and funding.

The project is currently being trialled by major US universities and technical colleges and will allow civil engineers and sector professionals to be better prepared to deal with future change. Once completed, Lane will be able to use the project to support its strategic processes (business plan and commercial development) and technical operations (training of engineers and project teams).

50 RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 6.0, 4.5 and 2.6 are the three pathways adopted by IPCC for different GHG concentration trajectories used for research purposes and to develop the foward-looking models.

Main opportunities

As well as being a source of potential risks, climate change can create opportunities for the Group, such as those listed below.

Business growth

The steady introduction of policies and regulations to accompany and accelerate the climate transition is an important lever to generate new business opportunities.

The Group already plays a leading role in the development of infrastructure that contributes to both climate objectives defined by the international community:

Mitigation Railways, metros, light rail, hydroelectric plants, high-performance
(Reduction in GHG emissions) buildings and civil structures
Adaptation
(Resilience to the effects of climate
change)
Hydraulic
projects,
drinking
water,
desalination
and
water
treatment plants, roads (including bridges and tunnels) and sea
works

These business areas will continue to offer strong growth potential in the coming years, bolstered by the state investment plans rolled out in the main markets of strategic interest to the Group, given their capacity to contribute to the achievement of the Paris Climate Agreement objectives and the SDGs.

The importance of improving the resilience of Europe's critical infrastructure

The extreme climate events of the coming decades could have a particularly strong impact on European infrastructure.

According to a study carried out by the European Commission51 , damage to infrastructure under the influence of climate change may multiple six-fold by mid-century and could amount to more than 10 times by the end of the century. The southern European countries will be most affected and, as a result, will probably require higher costs of adaptation.

Road and railway infrastructures are likely to be the most affected by heat and cold waves, flooding and wildfires; the ports by coastal flooding and storms, the hydraulic infrastructures by drought and heatwaves and social infrastructures (schools and hospitals) by flooding, wildfires and drought.

The overall damage could be in the region of €20 billion per year by 2050 and over €37 billion by the end of the century, roughly half of which would be incurred by Italy and Spain.

The funds earmarked by the EU as part of the EU Green Deal and NextGenerationEU become increasingly vital as they can be used to finance change in a sector that has been penalised by insufficient investments in maintenance and modernisation over the past decades.

Efficiency of operating processes

The growing demand for low GHG emission construction solutions and methods by the market has driven innovation and the development of partnerships with the supply chain. The introduction of new processes and

51 Source: Escalating impacts of climate extremes on critical infrastructures in Europe, 2017, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378017304077

related technologies makes it possible to decrease energy and materials consumption, as well as emissions, generating large cost savings.

As a result and notwithstanding its ongoing business growth, the Group has managed to steadily decrease its energy consumption and the use of the principal raw materials. This trend confirms the validity of its environmental strategy, reinforced with the introduction of Webuild's Climate Strategy, which includes:

  • Development of medium to long-term targets using the methodology developed by Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi);
  • Systematic organisation of technical scouting processes and development, prototyping and testing of innovative solutions and systems to monitor and decrease GHG emitted by the business (process decarbonisation);
  • Development of systems with universities and specialised research centres to assess the energy and carbon life cycles of infrastructure, to be used during the bidding, design and construction processes;
  • Promotion of a climate change and efficiency internal culture with employees through information, awareness raising and training programmes.

Performance and targets

The Group's carbon footprint

The Group's scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, defined and calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, are set out below. They comply with the requirements of the SBTi52 . Specifically:

  • Scope 1 includes emissions from sources controlled directly by the Group, i.e., from the use of fuel for vehicles, machinery and power generators, fugitive emissions deriving from the topping up of air conditioning systems, emissions deriving from the use of explosives for demolition and excavation activities;
  • Scope 2 includes indirect emissions from purchased electricity;

Scope 3 includes other indirect emissions generated by sources not owned or controlled by the Group. The emissions from goods and services purchased are the most significant and are largely influenced by the use of the principal construction materials (cement, steel, concrete). They are followed by emissions from transport, upstream energy, waste and the travel of head office personnel (in Italy and the US).

52 In 2021, Webuild updated its GHG emission inventory to ensure full compliance with international standards. It extended its reporting system to all the scope 3 emissions categories and concurrently applied this new reporting method to the previous comparative years (2019 and 2020). Therefore, the 2020 figures shown in this table have been restated and differ from those presented in the 2020 Consolidated Non-financial Statement, to which reference is made for more information.

**The 2021 figure has been restated to reflect new information about the excavation waste at the Rogun Dam project in Tajikistan that only emerged after publication of the 2021 Consolidated Non-financial Statement. Therefore, it is different to that shown in the 2021 Consolidated Non-financial Statement.

The graph below plots the intensity trend of GHG emissions (t CO2e Scope 1&2/€M) and shows how it has improved over the past eight years.

It is important to note that the infrastructuresfor which the Group generates emissions during their construction in turn generate benefits that are very significant in terms of avoided or reduced emissions once they have been rolled out. In addition, while the emissions generated by the Group are temporary (as they only take place during

the construction period), the environmental benefits arising from the use of the infrastructure are nearly permanent given that many works have a useful life of between 80 to 100 years if not longer, as shown in the next graph.

Emissions intensity target

As described in the "Climate Strategy" section, Webuild has designed a roadmap to steadily reduce its GHG emissions with the following short, medium and long-term targets:

As shown in the table above, Webuild's absolute reduction targets defined in 2021 were validated by SBTi in 2022.

These reduction targets are supported by an action plan defined during the year.

Webuild's main intervention levers to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions are:

  • the gradual transition from diesel generators at work sites to their connection to electricity grids;
  • improving the efficiency of the vehicle fleet
    • o by steadily replacing existing vehicles with low emission models, introducing hybrid and/or electric vehicles
    • o use of conveyor belts to move excavation materials at the work sites instead of lorries
    • o progressive adoption of high efficiency catalytic systems on site vehicles
    • o introduction of real time consumption monitoring systems for vehicles and machinery
  • making plant, equipment and electrical systems more efficient
    • o by adopting power quality solutions able to stabilise electrical loads and reduce consumption in the work sites
    • o ongoing deployment of "green" TMBs, i.e., machines engineered especially by Webuild together with the manufacturers for lower energy and water consumption compared to that of the traditional machines (see the "Company Organisation - Innovation, research and development" section for more information)
    • o development of environmentally-friendly robotic prefabrication systems, engineered specifically by Webuild with the manufacturers, which comply with the circular economy principles through the more efficient use of energy, water and materials
    • o introduction of predictive maintenance systems, able to identify inefficiencies in the operation of work site equipment and improve maintenance cycles

  • o ongoing deployment of ventilation systems in tunnels that operate with automated pollutants controls, able to make energy consumption more efficient and provide better air quality
  • o progressive introduction of renewable production systems at the work sites, such as photovoltaic and mini-hydroelectric systems;
  • utilisation of renewable energy by purchasing electricity from renewable sources and fuel with blends of renewable components (e.g., biodiesel).

As the emissions from the use of the principal construction materials (cement, concrete, steel) make up more than two thirds of the Group's scope 3 emissions, Webuild will focus on them to define its reduction target in line with the requirements defined by SBTi.

The main intervention levers to reduce its scope 3 emissions are:

  • deployment of low emission construction materials (generated during their production), especially
    • o transition to low-carbon cement and concrete
    • o transition to steel with high recycled content
  • development of processes to optimise infrastructure design, to achieve
    • o optimisation of quantities of materials used during construction, thanks to value engineering solutions and/or innovative materials
    • o utilisation of alternative low emission solutions (such as steel fibre instead of traditional metal reinforcements for tunnel sections)

Webuild has also committed to reducing, where possible, its indirect emissions (scope 3) generated by its related activities, such as transport, waste production and personnel movements. Specifically:

  • its procurement policy is designed to maximise purchases from local suppliers (94% in 2022), cutting out the need for long transport journeys and minimising the associated emissions. When goods are not available on the local market, the Group prefers to ship materials and machinery by sea as this is the means of transport with the lowest associated emissions;
  • its environmental policy (see the relevant section) targets the steady increase in waste sent for recycling and reuse to minimise atmospheric emissions compared to waste sent to landfills or to waste-to-energy plants;
  • with respect to reducing personnel movements:
    • o the Group has equipped its offices and work sites with video conference systems which significantly reduced the number of business trips even before the pandemic's onset
    • o it introduced extensive remote working programmes to deal with the Covid-19 emergency in the past two years
    • o its travel policies favour travelling by train rather than by plane and the use of public transport rather than taxis
    • o the Italian head offices have a mobility manager who regularly draws up a home-office commuting plan
    • o when possible, contracts have collective transport methods (buses) for blue collars and car-pooling for white collars at the work site offices.

Energy consumption

Energy requirements are the main source of GHG emissions at the work sites.

While the Group's business is characterised by highly customised processing, techniques and technologies depending on the specific requirements of the works to be built and the characteristics of the areas where they will be located, Webuild has actively developed production processes and technical-organisational solutions for some years to decrease its environmental footprint.

Accordingly, when designing and setting up its work sites, Webuild checks all the environmental components of its industrial processes to optimise them and make them more efficient.

The following tables show its energy consumption and the initiatives taken to reduce the related GHG emissions:

*Reported since 2022

The Group's overall energy requirements have increased compared to 2021. Consumption from the main energy sources (diesel, petrol and electricity) was affected by the greater volume of activities carried out for some large projects being ramped up in Europe, USA and Australia.

In 2022, 52% of the electricity consumed by the Group came from renewable sources (35% in 2021).

Over the last three years, initiatives (mainly scope 1 & 2) have been rolled out to improve the energy efficiency of industrial processes, to adapt current production processes, to change the current energy sources used, to adopt less polluting logistics options and to introduce awareness campaigns for employees.

Reduction in GHG emissions t CO2e 78,979 73,704 17,546

In addition to the active initiatives shown in the table, the Group has planned initiatives as part of its strategy to reduce emissions described in the previous section.

Given the current situation with rapidly fluctuating energy costs, these ongoing and planned initiatives are very important as they will allow the Group to obtain significant savings.

Environment

Optimisation of the use of natural resources, protection of the environment and biodiversity for increasingly sustainable work sites

Circular economy focus on reuse, recycling and reduction of waste

73% reused excavated materials

67% low-carbon steel used

87% materials purchased within a 160 km radius of the work sites

Internal policies

Protection of the environment is a priority for Webuild, which formalised a specific Environmental Policy in 2002, one of the first European construction companies to do so. In 2007, it introduced an environmental management system which is ISO 14001 certified.

Webuild's Environmental Policy defines ten principles to guarantee:

  • compliance with applicable legal and contractual requirements related to the environment;
  • identification and assessment of environmental aspects tied to the Company's direct and indirect, present and future operations, evaluation of the related significant effects and management of the mitigation and control measures, integrating the life cycle perspective and sustainable supply chain logics;
  • identification of all the technical and organisational measures, including of an innovative nature, designed for the rational use of natural resources and the mitigation of pollution, GHG emissions, waste generation and inconvenience to the local communities as well as the maximisation of the positive effects for the environment;
  • involvement and participation of all employees or people who work for the Company through actions to make them aware of the issue, the dissemination of information and training courses, dialogue and transparency in action;
  • engagement with the community and stakeholders.

The Policy also provides that each worker has the right and is obliged to intervene and stop work if the environment could potentially be compromised.

During the realisation of awarded projects, the Group ensures compliance with the above-mentioned principles in accordance with the commitments taken on with its clients. More information about Webuild's role and responsibilities during the infrastructure project development stage is available in the section entitled "The infrastructure sector and Webuild's role".

Main risks and management methods

The main environmental risks arising from the Company's activities relate to non-compliance with applicable environmental legislation, compromising one or more environmental components (e.g., the soil, water, air or biodiversity) due to a mistaken assessment of the risk or ineffective management/mitigation activities, inefficient use of natural resources and the failure to obtain/maintain environmental certifications and ratings.

The main environmental risks facing the Company (generated by external factors) arise from changes in the applicable environmental legislation, the inconsistent interpretation of applicable legislation by the competent local authorities, incomplete and/or insufficient environmental impact assessments for projects (which should be performed by the client) or adverse environmental conditions (e.g., extreme weather events, climate or geological conditions, etc. differing from those anticipated during the tender procedure).

Environmental management systems and certifications

To monitor these risks, Webuild has an environmental management system, which complies with the ISO 14001 standard and has been certified by an independent certification body.

To ensure that any significant negative environmental impacts are properly identified, managed and mitigated and positive impacts seized as opportunities, the system incorporates a number of environmental management procedures that have to be implemented by the Group's production companies, after being revised to comply with the applicable regulations or contracts.

When contractually provided for, the Group's contracts may include additional environmental management standards that could require special certifications or ratings. They may be:

  • system standards, which involve reaching specific environmental performance targets during construction activities (e.g., lower emissions, waste recycling);
  • product standards, which require the completed works to meet specific environmental performance targets (e.g., use of low-carbon construction materials, energy-efficient buildings).

The certification systems most frequently used by the Group are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) on a global basis, GSAS (Global Sustainability Assessment System) in the Middle East and IS (Infrastructure Sustainability) in Australia.

Environmental risk identification, assessment and management

Mitigation of environmental risks at the source is essential to better protect the environment and prevent pollution for every construction project. This is achieved by deploying appropriate design and planning activities that consider the work's entire life cycle.

To ensure they are properly managed, Webuild deals with and manages the impacts identified but not eliminated or mitigated in the design phase by adoption reasonably measures (work methodologies).

During the start-up of a new contract and based on the planned work, the plant to be built and the areas to be used for logistics and building work, an environmental risk assessment is performed to identify significant environmental aspects, i.e., those aspects that could have a significant impact on the environment. Their identification and assessment of the significance of their impact as well as the subsequent definition of impact management and mitigation measures take place in line with specific procedures.

The significance of environmental impacts is assessed using a method based on an analysis of well-defined criteria, such as the existence of special regulatory or contractual requirements, assessment of the related risk, management of the impact and the area's sensitivity to the specific environmental aspect.

The assessment considers various scenarios: standard operating conditions, irregular conditions (e.g., plant startup, maintenance), emergencies (e.g., fire, spills). Identification of the significant environmental aspects includes an analysis of the main effects of the contract work and other activities on the different environmental components:

  • natural and energy resources;
  • atmosphere and climate (emissions);
  • soil, subsoil and water environment;
  • waste and use of hazardous substances/preparations;

  • existence of systems containing GES/ODS;

  • traffic, atmospheric, light and electromagnetic pollution;
  • noise and vibrations;
  • ecosystem, cultural heritage and environmental restoration.

After the environmental risk assessment, analysis of the contractual obligations and related environmental regulations, the following is prepared for each project:

  • environmental plans/procedures setting out guidelines for the management/protection of each specific environmental component;
  • environmental protection plans defining the mitigation activities to be adopted in the specific area, as well as the appropriate emergency response measures to be deployed and implemented;
  • environmental monitoring and control plans defining the specific control and monitoring activities for the environmental components identified in the various areas that also allow an assessment of the mitigation actions' effectiveness;
  • specific instructions for the different method statements applied in order that the related impacts can be mitigated and monitored and improvement actions taken.

In addition, and to comply with the client's instructions, the project's social-environmental impact assessment and ruling legislation, the contract undergoes environmental monitoring to check any unforeseen variations and/or critical environmental issues affecting the areas outside the work site during the development or placement in service of the work. This includes investigating the causes to determine whether they are due to the project and, if so, together with the client, to define mitigation/prevention measures with the client and check their effectiveness.

To ensure the correct implementation of the environmental plans, the work sites schedule and provide for information/training to be given to the employees involved in contracts with potential impacts on the environment, including the subcontractors' employees. They regularly run campaigns to raise employees' awareness of specific issues (e.g., energy savings, waste, spills, use of hazardous substances/preparations, design, LCA planning).

Organisational oversight

The work site environmental departments carry out the monitoring/supervision procedures provided for in the environmental plan with regular checks and audits of the activities performed directly and indirectly by subcontractors. If any instances of non-compliance are identified, special remedial actions are defined as well as plans to improve the processes and/or performance when deemed appropriate.

Contract management regularly reviews environmental performances and the management system's strengths and weaknesses. It sets objectives for the subsequent period to ensure continuous improvement.

The Company is committed to the optimal use of resources and reduction of its environmental footprint. It will continue to protect the areas where it works to ensure that serious environmental accidents do not take place, that production processes become more efficient, the use of local raw materials is more efficient and effective and that water resources, materials and waste not sent to landfills will be reused including for energy generation (in line with the applicable legislation). It will assess its water management cycle and machinery to define additional measures to reduce its impact on the environment. Finally, it will continue to provide training courses about the environment to its employees to increase the per capita hours provided to direct employees.

At corporate level, the Group HR, Organisation and Systems Department defines methodologies, tools and operating methods to manage quality, health, safety and environment issues. Its Safety, Environment and Quality Unit is in charge of the environmental management system. It provides technical assistance with environmental issues, analyses the Group's environmental performance and defines the objectives/guidelines for continuous improvement to pursue steadily improved performances.

Communications about environmental aspects are made on a hierarchical basis within the Company through the QHSE coordinators (who liaise with the corporate and contract managers), the company intranet, the website and this Statement. Other internal communication channels (e.g., employees, subcontractors) and external channels (e.g., local communities) are set up at individual production unit level in line with the ruling legislation, contractual requirements and any recommendations in the social and environmental impact assessments approved by the authorities.

Employees may use the whistleblowing system described in the section on "Anti-corruption" for environmental notifications. In addition, some work sites have additional notification systems (grievance mechanisms), which can also be used by third parties (e.g., local communities). Typical communications received locally relate to inconveniences caused by the work site equipment (traffic, dust) and construction activities (noise, vibrations) or damage to private property.

Reference should be made to the section on "Main risk factors and uncertainties" ("Criminal litigation" paragraph) of the Directors' report for ongoing environment-related disputes.

The methods to manage the main environmental components are described below. The environmental data are heavily affected by the number and type of works under construction, the client's design decisions and the stage of completion of the individual projects. Accordingly, a comparison with previous periods may not always be significant, especially in terms of the absolute values.

The local area and the circular economy

At the end of 2022, the Group's work sites included in the scope of this Statement included 35,276 operational sites, of which 126 underground, for a total surface area of 158,977,831 m2 . The following table shows the main data by geographical area:

The American continent is the geographical area where the Group has the largest surface areas inside protected areas. This is due to the Caloosahatchee (C43) West Basin Storage Reservoir contract in Florida, USA acquired in 2019. The project is part of a larger plan, The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, a long-term plan approved by the US Congress to restore, protect and preserve the environment of a protected area of great importance to the community, the economy and ecosystem of Florida. The Everglades provides drinking water to more than eight million people, supports the flourishing agricultural and tourist sectors of Florida, has unique natural habitats and is home to two native American tribes. Lane's share of the project is to build a reservoir on over 4 thousand hectares as part of the plan to contain wastewater discharges, improve water quality, restore natural habitats and preserve the protected species.

In Europe, the largest surface areas inside protected areas are a railway project in Romania and two Italian projects (Cociv and Line 4 of the Milan Metro).

The projects in protected areas (or partly within them) in Asia and Oceania are Umm Lafina in the United Arab Emirates and Snowy 2.0 in Australia.

Information about biodiversity management is available in the "Biodiversity, cultural heritage and environmental restoration" section.

The Group adopts practices that are in line with the principles of the circular and green economy, designed to minimise (when possible) the use of natural resources, including through their reuse, as part of its activities. Similarly, it encourages the recovery of waste materials in the same project or surrounding areas.

The Group's resources for the year are presented in the next chart, showing the "circularity" of its practices.

The following paragraphs describe the elements presented in the above chart.

53 The materials reused during the year may include excavated materials from previous years.

54 Steel with high recycled content (equal to or higher than 90%)

Raw materials

Construction of motorways, bridges, dams, railway and metro lines and civil and industrial buildings requires the use of large quantities of water, aggregates, iron, cement and backfill: all raw materials which are mostly not renewable.

The environmental assessments made at the start of a new contract consider these aspects and the related mitigation measures are designed to ensure the efficient management of these resources.

With respect to raw materials, the Group is committed to, where possible:

  • reusing excavated earth and rocks in other industrial processes such as, for example, the production of aggregates for concrete or the construction of embankments and other earth fills as required by the projects for cost efficiency purposes and in line with circular economy principles in line with the ruling regulations;
  • sourcing and use of alternative or innovative materials, such as materials that have been recycled, obtained using low-carbon methods or that improve the quality, durability, safety and functionality of the finished works;
  • using products and components that do not contain hazardous substances.

With respect to water resources, the Group is mainly involved in the development of storm water, industrial and drainage recovery systems to reduce the quantities of raw water and/or drinking water required at the work sites. Furthermore, the working methods and the work sites are designed considering possible water optimisation.

Innovative solutions to reduce materials and water footprints

As described in the "Climate change" section, the use of cement, concrete and steel at Webuild's projects is

responsible for most of the Group's indirect GHG emissions (scope 3). Webuild is engaged on all fronts to optimise the use of these materials at its work sites through:

  • value engineering processes to decrease the quantities of materials used;
  • development of special optimised concrete mixes with a low cement content or that include cement substitutes from other industrial sectors (e.g., the iron and steel sector) to allow a reduction in the use of cement of up to 65%;

● greater use of steel with a higher recycled content (including above 90%).

Alongside the Group's traditional process water recovery systems and closed-circuit systems in place at its work sites for years, it has developed a water optimisation system, WWE (Webuild Water Efficiency), an innovative monitoring system for the remote digitalised mapping of water resources. This will assist detection of water losses and prompt resolution, identification of waste and the reduction of water consumption and water efficiency. WWE monitors two ratios: the water-use efficiency ratio and the water autonomy ratio, which provide an immediate snapshot of the correct functioning of the water management system and the level of autonomy of the work site with respect to this resource, so that they are always at highest levels. Webuild is gradually introducing the WWE system at its work sites.

*The 2020 and 2021 figures have been restated using the same calculation methodology

The main variations on the previous year relate to the progress made on the Group's projects. Specifically, the increase in the use of the principal construction materials (31% on 2021) mostly relates to the projects in Europe, Australia and the United States.

The rise in the use of aggregates is mostly attributable to the greater activities carried out for Lane's projects in the US and the projects in Ethiopia and Colombia.

There was a 16% increase in water resources utilisation in 2022, chiefly due to the greater withdrawals from rivers for the Koysha project in Ethiopia.

With respect to the circular and green economy, during the year, 87% of the materials purchased complied with the region-based criterion, as they were purchased within a radius of less than 160 km from the work sites, thus reducing the impact of their transport. During 2022, 67% of the steel used was low carbon, i.e., with a recycled content of 90% or more. The Group also used 71 thousand tonnes of low carbon cement materials and water recycled and reused in production processes of 2.0 million cubic metres (1.3 million cubic metres in 2021).

Energy consumption, both in the form of fossil fuels and electric energy, has a strong impact during construction of infrastructure. Reduction of energy consumption and greater energy efficiency allow a decrease in GHG emissions and mitigation of the effects of climate change. The "Climate change" section describes the Group's actions in this area.

Soil, subsoil and water environment

The Group's construction activities may affect the soil and water environment at different levels depending on the works in question and the surrounding environment (e.g., urban or rural environment).

Contracts are managed to avoid damaging these environmental components. Specifically, containment tanks, wastewater conveying networks and waterproofing systems for risky logistic areas (e.g., workshops, fuel and chemical depots, machine washing areas) are built during the work site start-up phase to prevent contamination of the soil, subsoil and surrounding water bodies, also as a result of meteorological events and/or run-offs.

Industrial wastewater is channelled and collected in sedimentation tanks and treatment plants compliant with the applicable legal and contractual provisions, using the best technologies available and considering the wastewater's specific characteristics and the parameters that the wastewater must meet in order to be discharged according to the legislation and the receiving body.

Construction work involves movement of large earth quantities to construct embankments, cuttings, tunnels or certain types of dams. In accordance with the policy to reduce waste production, the excavated earth and rocks are classified and stored on the sites for reuse within them, where possible and in compliance with the regulations, or transferred to third parties to be reused externally. In 2022, reused excavated materials55 amounted to 16.4 million cubic metres (24.6 million cubic metres in 2021), which continues to be a significant amount showing the effectiveness of the Group's circular economy policies.

Traceability of excavated earth and rocks

The Group has introduced an automated system to trace the excavated earth and rocks at the COCIV work site in Italy. This involves the digitalisation of the transport documents, leading to a more efficient process, a more reliable and immediate end result and a drastic reduction in the production of paper documents.

In order to mitigate the risk of soil erosion due to excavations and aggravated by weather events (rain, wind), the Group takes specific soil protection measures consisting of systems to consolidate excavation fronts and to channel rainwater, as well as covering more exposed areas (e.g., escarpments) and planting trees that mitigate erosion. The mitigation measures are defined considering the natural elements, the environment and features of the local area. In 2022, areas where measures to protect against erosion have been implemented covered 4.1 million square meters (2021: 717.2 million square metres). The significant decrease is due to Lane's completion of the Turnpike project in Florida (it required intense stabilisation activities of the entire site in 2021).

Waste

Waste generated during construction of large-scale infrastructure can be grouped into two separate categories: municipal waste and special waste. Municipal waste is generated by logistics sites where the support activities for the industrial production are carried out such as offices, accommodation for non-resident workers and canteens. Special waste is generated by the actual industrial activities, such as construction work, plant operation and the workshops.

In line with the circular economy principles, the Group limits its waste production by maximising its reuse and recycling and minimising the use of landfills. Accordingly, its waste is collected, sorted and stored in specific enclosed areas from which they are then taken to be transferred to third parties authorised to recycle/dispose of the waste.

Hazardous waste is a marginal part of the waste generated in the Group's contracts. Normally it involves paint, additives and solvents, used oil and oil filters from vehicle maintenance, batteries, rechargeable batteries and, in some cases, earth, sludge and other materials containing hazardous substances.

Waste produced by activity, type and destination, dealt with in accordance with local regulations, is shown in the following table56:

55 These materials may include materials excavated in previous years.

56 The 2021 figures have been restated to reflect new information related solely to the excavation waste at the Rogun Dam project in Tajikistan that only emerged after publication of the 2021 Consolidated Non-financial Statement. Therefore, they differ from those shown in the 2021 Consolidated Nonfinancial Statement.

86% of the waste produced is from excavations, which thus affects Webuild's global waste performance. It is classified as waste in line with the applicable regulations and its possible internal and/or external reuse, which varies depending on the project's characteristics and the material's geotechnical characteristics which the Group cannot influence.

The increase in waste in 2022 compared to the previous year is mostly due to the progress made on the Ruta del Sol project in Colombia and the Hurontario Light Rail Transit project in Canada.

The percentage of waste recovered, reused and recycled is 77% for the year.

Webuild encourages all work sites to reduce their waste production and to maximise its recovery in line with their local context and economy and the ruling legislation.

Atmosphere

Unlike other industrial sectors, the construction sector does not generate significant atmospheric pollution. The main sources of atmospheric emissions are linked to dust created by the construction activities: excavations, earthwork, movement of heavy vehicles on unpaved roads and crushing excavated stone. The Group is committed to minimising these emissions in order to reduce any disturbance from dust in the area adjacent to the work/transport areas as well as limiting the production of exhaust gases.

Other sources of air pollution are the unloading of site equipment and plant. The methods adopted by the Group to mitigate these impacts are described below:

  • regular dampening of unpaved roads accessing work sites, aggregates wetting systems at the crushing plants, the use of filters on the cement storage silos and asphalt production plants, loading methods and covering lorries transporting powdery materials, tyre washing systems at site entrance points and the replacement of road transport with conveyor belt transport;
  • preventative and regular maintenance schedules for site plant and vehicles, ongoing replacement of the fleet with more efficient models;

  • traffic management plans and speed limits;
  • use of covered conveyor belts for the transportation of excavation materials;
  • encouraging local procurement to reduce transport-related emissions.

The "Climate Change" section provides information on the Group's energy efficiency actions.

Noise and vibrations

The aspects relating to noise and vibration are of double significance for the Group: internally, in terms of the health of workers, and externally, in terms of impacts on the environment and local communities.

The Group's QHSE management system includes specific procedures to assess and monitor these aspects, so that each site can adopt the most appropriate measures to ensure protection of the health and safety of workers (soundproofing, use of personal protection equipment, etc.) and of the surrounding environment.

With regard to the effects on the environment surrounding the sites, the areas most affected by noise interference are protected by noise barriers, which can be artificial dunes made of backfill material, support structures and absorption panels made of various materials. The noise barriers can also be one or more rows of trees or shrubs which both absorb the noise and reduce the visual impact and dust. The choice of the barrier depends on its effectiveness, the area in which it will be placed and its landscaping effect.

The Group designs specific noise reduction devices tailored to the source (e.g. type of system), in order to maximise containment of the sound waves, for example, by covering conveyor belts.

Vibration is also a feature of work on civil engineering sites. The effects of pressure waves that propagate in the soil can cause damage to buildings or other structures located in the vicinity of the works. During the works, periodic monitoring of both noise and vibration is carried out, particularly in the presence of sensitive receptors.

Biodiversity, cultural heritage and environmental restoration

The loss of biodiversity is a global issue affecting a growing number of natural habitats, accelerated by climate change and pollution. Examples of infrastructure works that can mitigate human activities' impact on biodiversity are the Group's hydraulic engineering projects designed to reduce the pollution of water bodies (rivers, lakes, wetlands and oceans) being carried out in various parts of the world.

Webuild also adopts special protection measures, especially when the work sites are within sites of special natural, cultural or archaeological interest. These measures, which are implemented in accordance with the competent authorities' provisions and the relevant applicable legislation, are designed to protect and preserve the ecosystem, flora and fauna, biodiversity and cultural/landscape and archaeological heritage of the areas around the work sites and from the related transport to and from such sites.

Depending on the type of project and activities, the works schedule is defined considering the biological rhythms of the local wildlife (e.g., their behaviour, reproduction periods, seasonal migration). This involves drawing up special plans to protect the fauna, including the procedures to be followed in the case of their rescue. In the last three years, the Group has rescued more than 1,300 wild animals. The use of pesticides and herbicides is generally banned in the Group's work sites.

The linear work sites (for roads, railways) prepare flora and fauna continuity solutions, which can include making wildlife corridors, so that the works (including during the construction phase) do not become a physical barrier between previously adjacent areas.

Tailored plans are implemented for the protection of endemic and endangered species which provide for barriers/check points, work procedures, response and reporting procedures. The site employees are provided with the appropriate training courses.

Close attention is paid to the reduction of light pollution: cut-off lamps are used to limit the upward dispersion of light, the lighting system is calibrated to the minimum so as to guarantee the lux necessary for the safety of the site and the workers. Directional lighting is also used to limit lighting to within work site areas.

The placement of the work site is increasingly important. Webuild analyses and assesses how to reduce its impact on the landscape during the design phase of the work site.

The Group also involves external professionals, researchers and local authorities in its procedures to manage operations in protected areas and/or when archaeological artefacts are discovered. For example, Webuild implemented an intensive system to monitor and protect the local flora and fauna at the Umm Lafina project in the United Arab Emirates, which is located in a coastal protected area with mangroves and a very diversified avian fauna. This system includes regular surveys by an independent specialist to monitor migratory birds. Webuild shared a special plan for the management of the mangroves with the authorities. This covered their movement, the planting of new plants previously grown in a nursery and the monitoring of their well-being once they have been re-planted, with the requirement of a survival rate of at least 80%.

The Group ensures that the direct and indirect work site employees are provided with tailored training courses on biodiversity, especially when this is pertinent to the project.

Smart biodiversity monitoring

The Group has recently started to use innovative biodiversity monitoring systems in areas where it operates. These include satellite technologies and distance monitoring, deployed at several linear work sites (for railway projects for example) where construction activities cover areas with different habitats and it is very important to trace and monitor it in all the project stages.

The systems can efficiently monitor and trace the potential impact of the Group's projects on biodiversity, for example, on valuable crops (through multi-spectral satellite analyses) or the wildlife's interaction with the work site activities (using motion-based detection systems).

As disclosed in the "The local area and the circular economy" section, at the end of 2022, 38% (2021: 36%) of the areas managed by the Group was located in protected areas and 5% (2021: 3%) in areas adjacent to protected areas57 .

Specifically, 128 work sites (the equivalent of 54.5 sq km) were located in protected areas (mostly in the US, followed by Italy, Australia, Sweden, Romania and Poland) and 38 (the equivalent of 7.2 sq km) in areas adjacent to protected areas (mostly in the US, followed by Australia, Italy and the United Arab Emirates). Of these sites, 33 are in areas protected by local regulations, 14 in areas protected by national regulations and 52 in "Natura 2000" areas. There are 111 work sites located in ecosystems that contain water (e.g., lakes, rivers, swamps, etc.), 24 in urban ecosystems, five in agricultural ecosystems, 15 in wood ecosystems, seven in mountain ecosystems, three in coastal ecosystems and one in an insular ecosystem. In these areas, construction and plant operation activities are mainly carried out.

Once construction has been completed, the areas affected by the work, access roads, plants, installations, quarries and deposits are cleaned up to return the areas to their original conditions in line with the contractual terms and current regulations. These restoration activities facilitate natural revegetation, prevent soil erosion and improve soil stability.

57 The sites (not located within protected areas) in which activities with potential impacts on surrounding protected areas are carried out are considered "adjacent to protected areas".

Any land reclamation activities, if provided for in the contract and necessary due to previous contamination, are agreed with the customers and performed in line with the competent authorities' instructions.

Environmental restoration activities may include reforestation for carbon capture purposes, and indigenous species are usually used. The main restoration activities performed by the Group are shown below:

Protection and restoration activities
(GRI 304-3) Unit 2020 2021 2022
Reforested area m2 159,506 593,973 313,675
Restored areas m2 8,625,836 3,545,662 8,945,837

The increase in restoration activities compared to 2021 is mostly due to the performance of Lane's projects. The decrease in reforestation activities relates to the specific stages of work on the projects in Colombia, the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia. In 2022, the Group planted 236,525 trees (various species in Australia, Colombia, Ethiopia, Italy, Paraguay, Poland and the United States and mangroves in the United Arab Emirates).

Anti-corruption

Prevention and monitoring systems in line with the most stringent international standards

Zero tolerance for corruption

Continuous training on anti-corruption

Anti-corruption system ISO 37001 certified

Whistleblowing a dedicated platform

Internal policies

Webuild has a zero-tolerance policy for all types of corruption and is committed to complying with the anticorruption laws ruling in the countries where it operates. It requires its stakeholders to act with honesty and integrity at all times. The Company never condones behaviour designed to improperly influence the decisions taken by representatives of public or private bodies.

The Company is committed to adopting preventive protocols to minimise the risk of active and passive corruption and to ensure compliance with the principles introduced by anti-corruption laws and international best practices.

These principles are enshrined in its Code of Ethics and reiterated in its Anti-corruption Policy, adopted voluntarily and in compliance with international best practices.

Anti-corruption system

Webuild has an Anti-corruption System which meets the ISO 37001 requirements and is certified by an independent certification body. In addition to its Anti-corruption Policy described earlier, the system provides for the:

  • preparation, updating and application of the Anti-corruption Model approved by the Board of Directors on 16 June 2014 and updated on 28 September 2018 and 15 December 2020;
  • issue of Guidelines and internal procedures and integration of existing ones to define the roles and responsibilities of the parties involved and the operating methods for the processes and controls defined in the above documents.

As part of its zero-tolerance policy, the Company seeks to align its strategy with the Anti-corruption System, instilling a compliance culture and mitigating the potential risks of non-compliance.

The Board of Directors adopts the Anti-corruption System while the Compliance Unit monitors the Anticorruption System and its correct application. It draws up an annual Compliance Plan, which sets out the Company's goals to ensure achievement of the general objectives and ISO 37001 recertification. The Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Director in charge of the Internal Control System all check the Compliance Plan as does the Integrity Board for the aspects related to Legislative decree no. 231/2001.

Main risks

The Anti-corruption System is designed to cover the risks to which the Company could be exposed. With respect to active corruption, the main risks identified relate to interaction with representatives of the public administration as part of specific activities, such as, for example, those to comply with defined obligations vis-àvis the public administration or the obtaining of authorisations from it (licences and permits, payment authorisations from works management or approval of design extensions/variations). Other risks may arise from participation in calls to tender by public bodies, inspections and/or checks or disputes.

With respect to active corruption in the private sector, this risk is less material and mostly relates to the Group's participation in tenders called by private bodies or management of partnerships.

The main risks facing the Company arise from procurement and subcontracting activities. During the assignment stage, potential suppliers/subcontractors could attempt to corrupt a company employee to obtain the contract (passive corruption). In addition, once the contract has been signed, the suppliers/subcontractors could act unlawfully to obtain approval and, hence, payment for activities they did not actually perform or the nonreporting of non-compliance of their services.

Organisational and management oversight

The Compliance Unit performs an anti-corruption risk assessment of the Company's relevant process as part of the risk assessments necessary to regularly update the 231 model. The assessment is performed for the other group companies (subsidiaries, consortia, joint ventures, etc.) using a scope defined on the basis of the CPI (corruption perception index) assigned to the country where the group companies operate and depending on how long their compliance system has been in place. In 2022, 100% of the legal entities making up Webuild Group were included in the anti-corruption risk assessment scope. The risk assessment findings are used to draft the Compliance Plan and to schedule the yearly audits and inspections to check the Group's operating companies correctly apply its ethical and anti-corruption procedures and standards.

The procedures specifically designed to monitor the above risks include the Guidelines for the Assessment of Relevant Third Parties, which define valuation procedures applicable to potential counterparties before a contract is signed. The procedures aim to identify the ethics and professional integrity of the Group's partners and their compliance with its anti-corruption policies. To complete the due diligence of third parties, the Group has specific procedures to monitor conflicts of interest with its employees during the recruiting stage and when they are hired. During 2021, it updated its third-party assessment procedures to fine-tune its assessment procedures, especially in the case of entities debarred by Multilateral Development Banks.

With respect to ethical procedures, the Company has introduced new rules to manage its advocacy and PR programmes58 .

Contracts agreed by the Company with Third Parties must include specific measures to ensure their compliance with Anti-corruption laws, the Company's Code of Ethics and Anti-corruption Model.

Whistleblowing system

Webuild also has a whistleblowing system that can be accessed through an external web portal. This allows employees to make anonymous or confidential (at their own discretion) notifications about potential violations while being protected against any form of reprisal, discrimination or unfair treatment. The Anti-corruption Model provides that employees are obliged to report any violations of the Model and/or internal or external regulations, the ethical principles and all anti-corruption laws by the Company, a colleague, a consultant or third party. As of 2018, third parties (e.g., suppliers, subcontractors) can also use the whistleblowing system. Starting in 2020, access to the system has been further extended to include dedicated sections for companies and joint ventures

58 More information is available in the "Stakeholder engagement" paragraph of the "Social" section.

led by Webuild with 50 companies having access to the platform by the end of 2022. Alternatively, notifications can be made by post or email. The Company guarantees the protection of the notifying person in accordance with the provisions of Law no. 179/2017 and Regulation (EU) no. 2016/679 on personal data protection.

Violations of the Anti-corruption Model's principles and measures are a serious breach of their contracts by employees and consultants. Webuild takes all the steps provided for by the existing laws and contracts in the case of these violations, including warnings, dismissal, termination of the contractual relationship, claims for compensation, etc.

In 2022, the Company received 13 notifications through its whistleblowing channels, of which three for the potential violations of its anti-corruption procedures involving group companies. In all cases, the Compliance Unit commenced an investigation and based on the Company's internal procedures, was assisted by either the Internal Audit Unit or the Legal Unit. Most of the notifications received were found to be ungrounded at the end of the investigations, especially those related to possible violations of anti-corruption procedures.

Training

The Company requires that all new employees receive the mandatory Anti-corruption training as part of a broader Compliance programme. It continued its annual certification process whereby all employees are asked to formally renew their commitment to the Company's Code of Ethics and Anti-corruption Model and to confirm that they have not been involved in conflict of interest situations.

Monitoring and reporting

The Compliance Unit also prepares internal reports for the Board of Directors (every six months), which it addresses to the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, as well as ad hoc communications and reports to management, either together with or through the Internal Audit and Compliance Manager, on any critical issues it identifies during its work.

Reference should be made to the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" (sub-paragraph "COCIV consortium" in the "Criminal litigation" paragraph) section of the Directors' report for ongoing disputes about corruption.

Supply chain

Quality partnerships and continuous performance improvement to tackle market challenges together

17.5 thousand suppliers working with Webuild in 80 countries

266 thousand hours HSE training provided to subcontractors' employees

Innovation Days to encourage collaboration with innovative suppliers and partners

Improved vendor rating index59 confirming the high quality of the supply base

Internal policies

Each year, Webuild works with thousands of suppliers both for its contracts and internal requirements. As defined in its Code of Ethics, its conduct hinges on principles of correctness and transparency, and it is committed to not exploiting any conditions of dependence or weakness of its suppliers.

The Company selects its suppliers using principles of fairness and impartiality and selection criteria which involve checking their quality, technical/professional qualifications, compliance with standards about human rights, labour regulations, including equal opportunities, health, safety and the environment as well as prices.

Suppliers are required to formally accept the Code of Ethics, the Anti-corruption Model and, starting from 2020, the Suppliers Code of Conduct, which are integral parts of their contracts. Webuild encourages its suppliers to apply the same criteria when selecting their subcontractors and to share the Group's principles of integrity, honesty, reliability and sustainability in order to encourage and promote compliance with its principles along the entire supply chain.

The Company is committed to protecting the confidentiality of corporate information and professional knowhow and requires its counterparties to do likewise.

When Webuild manages contracts directly or as the project leader, or there are specific agreements in place, suppliers are required, to the extent of their involvement, to comply with/adopt the Company's Quality, Health, Safety and Environment Management Systems.

Main risks and management methods

In 2022, the Group worked with roughly 17.5 thousand suppliers from around 80 countries. The main supply categories related to subcontracts, materials, machinery and equipment and services.

In the procurement process, the inadequate functioning of the qualification process and/or assessment of the suppliers' performance or the possible abuse of a position ofstrength vis-à-vissmallersuppliers could potentially expose the Group to various risks, such as compliance, reputation and commercial.

The main risks arising from external factors include potential risks of non-compliance with regulatory changes requiring the adoption of new measures with suppliers, and commercial and reputation risks due to possible

59Internal supplier rating system

issues with suppliers(e.g., inadequate performance in technical, qualitative, human rights,safety, environmental areas, etc.) after the contract has been signed.

The Company has established a number of procedures to manage the procurement of goods and services and monitor these risks. They include definition of the roles, responsibilities and checks to be performed to ensure that the operating activities are performed in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, the Company's Code of Ethics, the 231 Model and the Anti-corruption Model.

Selection and qualification

The supplier qualification procedure is an important part of the procurement process. Its aim is to assess whether the potential supplier meets the Company's criteria so that it can be included in the Vendor List. This qualification procedure also ensures that the Group's requirements are met for all goods categories and in all relevant geographical areas.

The Procurement Department manages the supplier qualification process, which involves a number of preliminary checks of the potential supplier's reputation, its expertise and that it is not already included in the Reference Lists.

Potential suppliers are required to fill in a questionnaire to allow the Company to obtain information about and assess various aspects such as: business and production category, organisation and shareholder structure, financial reporting, registration and certifications, quality, the environment and safety, social responsibility (including human rights), and specific information about their goods categories (when available).

Based on these questionnaires, the Procurement Department may proceed with specific analyses and detailed checks, which can include assessment visits to the supplier's production units and offices. Other company departments, such as the Technical Services and Safety and the Environment and Systems Departments, may also be involved in the visits which are designed to assess the supplier's technical and operating capabilities with special regard to the products and services of interest to the Group. They also investigate those aspects that could affect the potential partner's ability to comply with its contractual commitments.

Additional risk analyses are performed for certain suppliers that fall into the counterparty risk category using the methods and tools defined by the Risk Management Unit.

Upon completion of the checks, suppliers found to be suitable for qualification are included in the suppliers register and the reference Vendor List.

Certain contracts require adoption of a specific additional qualification system depending on the applicable regulatory and contractual requirements. For example, suppliers working on projects subject to LEED environmental certification are subjected to additional checks to verify their compliance with specific environmental parameters, while other specific requirements, such as social criteria, are checked for projects acquired in some countries. These may include checking potential suppliers whose workforce mainly consists of employees from special categories (e.g., ethnic minorities).

In 2022, the Corporate Procurement Department checked the accuracy of the information provided by the applicants, that the applicants were not already included in the Reference Lists and that there were no compliance risks. The results were positive for 6,790 potential suppliers.

Contracts with suppliers include provisions requiring them to comply with the applicable regulations, the Code of Ethics, the Suppliers Code of Conduct, the 231 Model and the Anti-corruption Model as well as quality, health and safety and environment requirements. Specifically, the Suppliers Code of Conduct defines the principles the Group's suppliers and subcontractors must comply with in 11 well-defined areas (quality and performance excellence, occupational health and safety, the environment, fair and non-discriminatory employment conditions, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, local communities, anti-corruption and combating fraud, the correct management of cash flows, unfair competition, conflicts of interest and privacy), as well as the

procedures for the oversight of these principles and management of any notifications of non-compliance. The contracts have specific termination clauses if suppliers do not comply therewith.

Monitoring and performance assessment

Once the contract has been signed and is effective, the Company monitors the performance of its key suppliers using a special assessment process, involving the Corporate Procurement Department and the contract managers. It assesses suppliers once a year. In 2022, these assessments involved more than 20 contracts selected for their financial significance. They covered nearly all the suppliers of the analysed contracts (response rate of above 95%) included in the assessment scope, showing average performances (measured using the IVR vendor rating index) of 88/100 (an improvement on the 86/100 of 2021), confirming the high quality of the Group's supply base.

The assessment process is flanked by the on-site monitoring of projects by the local QHSE Departments, which mainly cover subcontractors and is designed to check that their activities comply with the Company's quality standards and applicable requirements for environment, health and safety aspects. Specifically, the local QHSE Departments regularly audit the subcontractors. Any non-compliance is handled in accordance with the management system procedures and includes the agreement of improvement plans and follow-up checks to ensure that they are implemented.

Involvement of the subcontractors in these issues also takes the form of regular coordination meetings and the participation of their employees in classroom and on-site QHSE training courses (266,347 hours in 2022).

Involvement

In addition to involving and monitoring suppliers at the work sites, they were also involved in various centrally organised initiatives during the year.

This includes the annual supplier meeting attended by the Group's Italian and international employees and suppliers when the main procurement practices are presented.

In 2021, the Group launched Supplier Development Hub, a collaborative platform to support the supply chain, sharing its know-how, experience and solutions to accelerate innovation and sustainability in the infrastructure sector. The programme continued in 2022 with workshops and webinars about innovation and sustainability for the Group's suppliers.

The Company continued its Innovation Days in 2022, which are appointments with individual suppliers attended by company employees (including on virtual platforms). They are an opportunity for the supplier and the Company to discuss their experiences about new technologies, products, innovative processes and other matters of mutual interest. Once again, the focus was increasingly on sustainability issues and this trend will continue and, where possible, increase in the coming years.

Internal policies

It is a well-known fact that the direct relationship between investments in infrastructure and greater domestic demand leverages economic growth. Companies like Webuild engaged in building infrastructure may contribute to this factor by adopting suitable internal policies designed to maximise the utilisation and enhancement of local production factors.

Webuild is committed to contributing to the social and economic development of the areas where it operates in line with its Code of Ethics and Sustainability Policy, through:

  • employment of workers from the area in which the projects are taking place, when available in the numbers required and that have the necessary skills;
  • professional training of local personnel;
  • procurement strategies designed to meet requirements using local supplies as far as possible, depending on the availability of the required goods and services;
  • initiatives to assist the local communities, after checking the integrity and respectability of the recipients and the projects' consistency with the Code of Ethics.

The Company is also committed to respecting the rights and culture of the local communities which it does by also using appropriate communication channels in line with the relevant regulatory and contractual provisions.

Main risks and management methods

The Group identifies the risks and defines methods to manage the aspects related to the hiring of local labour and procurement and relations with the local stakeholders during the start-up stage of its projects.

The project start-up process complies with the Project Management principles (ISO 21500) and entails the proactive involvement of the project team and the corporate departments to ensure the integrated management of internal and external factors.

Specifically, regulatory and contractual elements applicable to the project are analysed during this process and the Company defines the Mobilisation programme which includes the main activities needed to start the project. They include definition of the work schedule, which comprises, inter alia:

  • the requirement plan for machinery, plant, subcontractors, third parties, materials and services;
  • the mobilisation plan for managers, staff and blue collars.

The methods of managing relations with local stakeholders are defined in the contracts and the Group is obliged to scrupulously abide by their provisions, as described in more detail in the following pages.

Employment created by the Group's projects

The creation of jobs by the Group in the countries where it operates is important as it enables local personnel to improve their skills and expertise and to generate additional wealth for the economy. As noted, the Group tends to employ workers from the areas near the work site when possible and they have the right qualifications. This approach also creates the opportunity for the Group to create a pool of qualified workers who can be used for future projects.

Some projects have special local personnel recruitment plans as provided for contractually, which may include employment targets.

Unit 2020 2021 2022

Specifically, 89% of the 35,994 direct employees were hired locally in 2022.

While the Asia and Oceania area has a smaller percentage of local workers compared to the other areas (due to great resort to foreign workers), it recorded an increase on the previous year following the start-up of a significant number of new projects, mainly in Saudi Arabia and Australia. Reference should be made to the section on "Human rights" for information about the management of migrant workers.

In 2022, local managers made up 77% of the total, reaching 100% in Italy. In addition to the direct workforce, the involvement of indirect personnel (mainly employees of subcontractors and service providers) contributes significantly to the employment generated locally. Indirect workers involved in group projects numbered 39,520 at 31 December 2022.

Local procurement

Purchases from suppliers resident in the countries where the Group operates are the main trigger to developing ancillary industries (which is a direct contributor to GDP, public revenue and disposable income).

In 2022, the Group maintained a strong relationship with its local supplier chain, working with roughly 17,500 suppliers for an average 94% of its expenditure made with local suppliers.

Local procurement (GRI 204-1) Unit 2020 2021 2022
Africa % 47% 28% 37%

Americas % 99% 100% 99%
Asia and Oceania % 84% 87% 91%
Average % 91% 91% 94%

As already noted, the use of local suppliers allows the Group to minimise long-distance transport and, hence, mitigate the related environmental effect.

Tax

Taxes are one of the main sources of the Group's contribution to the countries where it operates as they can be used by the public administration to finance the economic and social development of their areas.

Webuild scrupulously meets all its tax requirements arising from its business in line with its Code of Ethics and the Sustainability Policy.

Its approach to tax is based on its business given that its foreign interests are mostly tied to commercial opportunities (participation in calls for tenders) and/or operating possibilities (contract management, concessions, equity investments, etc.).

Webuild fully complies with the applicable tax regulations in all the countries where it operates and has a collaborative and transparent relationship with the tax authorities.

The parent's tax department, which reports to the chief financial officer, analyses, directs and monitors the management of tax issues in line with Webuild's values and principles. It also assists the Group's other departments and companies.

Webuild's 231 model defines itsrules of behaviour, prevention protocols and controls to ensure compliance with tax requirements and minimise the risk that tax crimes could be committed. It also serves to guarantee that the Group respects all the rules, procedures and processes to calculate taxes, keep tax records and prepare tax returns for approval.

All stakeholders (direct employees, supplier employees, local communities, etc.) may use the whistleblowing system described in the "Anti-corruption" section to report any suspect instances of tax non-compliance.

Contributions to local economies

Direct contributions made by Webuild's projects to local economies include employment, the use of local suppliers and taxes paid to the public administrations. They are only part of the benefits as they do not include the additional indirect and induced effect of the Group's activities in the countries where it operates.

60 This is the most recent year for which information is available. More details are provided in the GRI Content Index (disclosure 207-4).

The Group has developed a proprietary calculation model, SEED (Socio-Economic Effects Determination) Model, to calculate its total contribution (direct, indirect and induced) to a country's economic and social growth in terms of employment, GDP, tax revenues and work income distributed to families61 .

The following graph presents the SEED model.

If just the Group's main markets62 are considered, its average contribution to their economies, expressed as a multiple, is as follows:

• 6 jobs created for each direct Webuild employee;

  • €2.8 of work income distributed for each Euro paid by the Group;
  • €3.3 of GDP for each Euro of added value generated by Webuild;
  • €8.7 of tax revenues for each Euro paid by the Group to the public administration.

These figures confirm that the Group's local investment policies have a significant knock-on effect on the economies of the countries where it operates.

In addition to the economic benefits to the countries, each person involved in a group project benefits in terms of the work income received and the opportunity to advance professionally thanks to the training provided.

Many studies63 have shown that professional training courses provided by companies generate significant benefits for the participating employees who thus potentially have better employment and career prospects, higher salaries, greater professional satisfaction, more flexibility and interest in receiving additional training. This can also have a positive effect on the employee's health, social inclusion and their willingness to invest in further education for themselves and their children, triggering intergenerational social mobility mechanisms.

In this respect, the Group provided 997,081 hours of training to its direct employees and those of its subcontractors in 2022.

61 The SEED model uses an analysis of the investments made by the Group in the local economy and applies specific multipliers taken from the Social Accounting Matrix published by leading international research bodies.

Initiatives to assist local areas

The Group contributes to developing the areas in which it works through initiatives to assist the local communities, which may include sponsorships, social and philanthropic initiatives. Sponsorships and donations are managed in line with the specific guidelines and internal procedures that are part of the Anti-corruption System, which is ISO 37001 certified. This ensures that any assistance is in line with the approved budgets and is only given after the positive outcome of checks of the potential recipients.

The Group Guidelines require that assistance is given locally in five strategic macro-sectors: social, art and culture, education and research, environment, sport and entertainment.

The main initiatives carried out can be classified as follows:

  • direct assistance to design and build infrastructure benefiting the local community such as, for example, schools, healthcare facilities, roads, etc.;
  • assistance with social programmes, carried out directly or through other organisations in the above macrosectors;
  • free access to certain work site facilities such as clinics, water and electricity supply networks for local communities living in rural areas not connected to basic services.

The Group carried out 29 initiatives in 2022 for €1.1 million (2021: roughly €2.6 million).

The most sizeable initiatives were carried out at both corporate and branch level, mostly for social, environmental, cultural and educational purposes.

Other initiatives carried out during the year included the customary free healthcare check-ups provided to local communities by some work site clinics, including those in Ethiopia (GERD and Koysha Hydroelectric Project), Tajikistan (Rogun Dam), Argentina (Matanza Riachuelo Riven Basin environmental restoration project), Colombia (Ruta del Sol Motorway) and Saudi Arabia (Riyadh Metro). Specifically, 10,089 medical check-ups (2020: 6,498) were given and 16,788 health interventions (2021: 13,607) provided in 2022.

Stakeholder engagement

Webuild has operations and projects all around the world and handles thousands of contacts with its stakeholders every day. It regularly maps its stakeholders based on engagement with the main stakeholders in the areas where it operates. The following chart lists the stakeholders relevant to the Company, the areas of interest and the key characteristics of the engagement with the Group.

The Group adopts diversified and flexible dialogue and involvement practices depending on the stakeholders' characteristics and needs.

At corporate level, key stakeholders include investors, clients, current and potential employees, national and international trade unions, partners, public administrations, the media and the general public. Dialogue with them mainly relates to development objectives and strategies, results, the acquisition of new contracts, the shareholder structure, career paths and professional development.

Institutional relations and advocacy activities

Stakeholder engagement activities include institutional relations and advocacy activities that the Group engages in with public institutions, regulators and other stakeholders to ensure the legitimate representation and sharing of issues of interest to it. These issues include development plans for infrastructure, sustainable mobility, water and hydropower resource management, innovation for the development of efficient, resilient and low environmental impact works and the creation of jobs and value for the areas where the Group operates.

Webuild's corporate identity and communication department carries out these activities in compliance with the relevant guidelines. This involves participation in events promoted by the sector associations and/or Italian embassies in the various countries where the Group operates, engagement with members of public institutions and monitoring of proposed legislation related to the sectors in which the Group operates in Italy and abroad64 .

Institutional relations take place in full compliance with the principles of legitimacy, transparency and accountability by qualified employees with special proxies and in compliance with Webuild's guidelines for the management of potential conflicts of interest. In order to contain the revolving doors risk, Webuild's policy is not

to hire people who state during the recruitment stage that they have held public offices that involved authorising the Group's works or negotiating with it in the previous three years.

Moreover, pursuant to the principles of its Code of Ethics, the Company does not make contributions to political and trade organisations of any kind (parties, movements, committees, etc.) nor their representatives.

At operating level, the main engagement activities depend on the individual project's characteristics. The key stakeholders are partners, employees, local communities, suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, clients, local authorities and organisations like local trade unions and non-governmental organisations.

Like in previous years, the Group has engaged regularly with its stakeholders. Its main initiatives are summarised below:

Given that it mainly operates as a contractor on behalf of public and private clients, the Group is required to scrupulously adhere to the contractual provisions about engagement with local stakeholders. These provisions establish the roles and responsibilities each party is obliged to comply with.

In line with these provisions, the Group defines procedures to handle engagement with local stakeholders (such as, for example, the grievance mechanisms) and the communication channels to be used at work sites either physical (e.g., public relations offices) or technological (dedicated phone numbers, websites, email addresses, etc.).

The clients are responsible for engagement with the local communities in most of the ongoing contracts while the Group provides technical and operating assistance to manage any issues that arise. Matters discussed by contract personnel and the local communities mostly relate to:

  • employment and interaction between the work site and surrounding areas;
  • the characteristics of the work under construction and its possible social and environmental implications.

As described in detail in the "The infrastructure sector and Webuild's role" section, the Group's clients are responsible for planning and developing projects. When required by the applicable regulations, this includes an assessment of the social and environmental impacts, the prior consultation of the stakeholders, definition of the mitigation and compensation actions and receipt of the authorisations. Therefore, the clients have sole responsibility for handling relations with the stakeholders for the second category of topics mentioned earlier, while the Group provides assistance with management of the relationships covering the first category of topics. This is a potential source of risks for the Group as, if the client does not properly and efficiently manage its

responsibilities, the local community could oppose the project leading to delays in the works, an increase in costs and damage to the Group's reputation as well. The Group considers this risk to be immaterial given also that it carries out most of its operations in low-risk countries and no such events have happened recently. However, the Group constantly monitors stakeholder expectations about the projects it is involved in so that it can build transparent relationships of mutual trust, also in order to monitor and mitigate any risks.

Should the Group receive requests for information or other communications from stakeholders, such as international non-profit organisations and SRI analysts, it provides the requested information to guarantee complete transparency about its role, responsibilities and work as a contractor engaged to build the works provided for by the relevant contract.

Methodology for reporting non-financial information

Webuild was the first Italian construction company to prepare and publish an Environmental Report in 2002 and similarly it was the first to publish a Sustainability Report drawn up in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines in 2009.

Standards applied

This 2022 Consolidated Non-financial Statement has been prepared in accordance with Legislative decree no. 254/2016 in accordance with the GRI Standard. Pursuant to changes in the reference regulations and best practices identified by the Company, this Consolidated Non-financial Statement is part of the Group's Annual Report.

The infrastructure sector and Webuild's role

The infrastructure market is highly regulated and its numerous operators are involved in planning, assessing, approving, developing, building and operating infrastructure according to their roles and responsibilities assigned by the relevant regulations.

The following chart shows the main stages of an infrastructure project's life cycle:

* Main stages of the infrastructure's life cycle in which Webuild Group is involved

An infrastructure project is planned by a public administration or private sector body (the project proponent) that is also involved in the subsequent stages of developing the infrastructure project. This stage involves a number of activities that include identifying the project locations, performing feasibility studies and, based on

the type of work and applicable legislation, completing the social and environmental procedures (assessment of potential impacts, consultations with stakeholders, identification of mitigation measures and compensation).

The public authorities (usually ministries or state environmental protection agencies, assisted by local bodies of the area where the project is to take place) actively engage in these procedures: assessing the adequacy of the social and environmental impact assessments, the consultation programmes and mitigation plans prepared by the Project proponent.

Upon completion of these procedures, the relevant authorities issue the appropriate authorisations, which include any social and environmental requirements the Project proponent has to abide by during the project.

Contractors such as Webuild enter the project development process only after the decision-making stage has been completed as this only involves the client and the public authorities. The Group takes part in selection procedures, organised by public and private clients to award the tenders, which may cover specific project activities (e.g., just construction), the entire engineering, procurement and construction cycle or also the subsequent operations & maintenance activities.

Therefore, the contractor does not take part in any activities prior to the assigning of the contract or the prior assessment processes, including the assessment of the project's social and environmental impacts and consultation of stakeholders.

As described earlier, these assessments are the sole responsibility of the Project proponent and of the public authorities, as they are required to meet the relevant obligations under the applicable regulations. They also have the decision-making powers about the findings of the assessment process. It follows that the potential social and environmental impacts of the work itself (e.g., loss of biodiversity due to the infrastructure's presence, expropriation of land) are the sole responsibility of the Project proponent.

The contractor is obliged to comply with the social and environmental requirements of the applicable regulations, the contract and any provisions imposed by the competent authorities when they approve the impact assessments. The social and environmental impacts attributable to the contractor arise solely from the contract activities and are mainly of a temporary nature (e.g., disruptions caused by the work site, health and safety in the workplace).

Materiality analysis

The Company performed a materiality analysis as set out in the new GRI Universal Standards 2021 to define the material topics to be disclosed in the Consolidated Non-financial Statement pursuant to Legislative decree no. 254/2016.

In 2022, the material non-financial topics relevant to the Group were identified by analysing the global situation (megatrends, the Paris Agreement, SGDs), recent developments in regulations and regulator recommendations (Consob and ESMA), the main applicable reporting frameworks and standards (GRI Standards and Recommendations of the Task Force On Climate-Related Financial Disclosures - TCFD), the market scenario (benchmarks and peer analyses) and the financial context (reports published by analysts and ESG rating agencies).

Webuild concurrently launched a project to fine-tune its risk management system, supplementing it and updating the list of ESG risks using a probability and impact matrix. Webuild also considered its dynamic and forward-looking expectation of reaching its strategic plan objectives (see the "Management of ESG risks" section in the Annual Report for more information).

The Group mapped the material topics by analysing its reference context (internal and external), its business model, the objectives of its business plan and sustainability plan and its risk management model. It then involved its stakeholders65 (around 600 of which replied) in a dedicated survey to define the materiality of each topic.

65 The stakeholder categories involved were employees, clients, suppliers, partners, investors, NGOs and ESG experts.

The survey results corroborated the list of topics identified as material by the analysis performed in 2021, confirming the completeness of the Group's disclosures on ESG topics. The Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee examined the material topics, which were approved by the Board of Directors when it approved the Group's Consolidated Non-Financial Statement.

The material aspects identified by the materiality analysis, grouped by impact scope, and the main impacts66 , are listed below.

66 The equal opportunities topic is material mostly for the corporate offices while it is of less significance at the work sites given the characteristics of the construction sector, which is a predominantly male domain. The topics of innovation and cyber security, identified as material during the materiality analysis, although not envisaged by Legislative decree no. 254/2016 or the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, are discussed in this Statement as provided for by the latter Standards.

EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities

Pursuant to article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation, supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021 (the Disclosures Delegated Act), the following tables show the KPIs associated with the eligible and aligned economic activities as per the 2022 taxonomy.

The KPIs are calculated as the ratio of the portion of turnover, CapEx and OpEx associated with the taxonomyagreed activities (numerator) to the Group's total revenue, CapEx and OpEx recorded in the year (denominator). Specifically:

  • the portion of turnover was calculated as the portion of net revenue from products or services (including intangible) associated with the taxonomy-eligible or aligned activities (numerator), divided by net revenue67 (denominator);
  • CapEx includes increases in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the reporting period before amortisation, depreciation, impairment losses and any revaluations, including those arising from remeasurements and impairment losses, and excluding changes in fair value; the denominator also includes increases in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets arising from business combinations68;
  • OpEx includes direct expenditure that cannot be capitalised incurred for research and development, real estate restructuring, short-term leases, maintenance and repairs and all other direct costs related to the ordinary maintenance of property, plant and equipment69;
  • figures for entities accounted for as joint operations for financial reporting purposes are presented as a proportion of the Group's investment in such joint operations.

Some of the criteria applied by the Group to assess which of its activities are taxonomy-aligned are set out below:

• adherence with the minimum safeguards was established at group level, assessing these criteria with respect to the four main topics of human rights, labour rights, bribery, taxation and fair competition, identified also in the most recent report of the EU Platform on Sustainable Finance published in October 2022. Webuild is committed to ensuring respect for the human rights enshrined in the International Charter of Human Rights, the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation, the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding principles on business and human rights and the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises. The Company reaffirmed its commitment, already provided for in the Code of Ethics and the Sustainability Policy, with the ten principles set out in its Human Rights Policy (available on the company website). These principles cover health and safety, child labour, forced labour, freedom of association and collective bargaining, non-discrimination, diversity and inclusion, working conditions, local communities and the rights of indigenous people, the value chain and whistleblowing systems. Webuild has a zero-tolerance policy for all types of corruption and is committed to complying with the anti-corruption laws ruling in the countries where it operates. It requires its stakeholders to act with honesty and integrity at all times. The Company condones behaviour designed to improperly influence the decisions taken by representatives of public or private bodies. Webuild has an Anti-corruption System which meets the ISO 37001 requirements and is certified by an independent certification body. Taxes are one of the main sources of the Group's contribution to the countries where it operates as they can be used by the public administration to finance the economic and social development of their areas. Webuild scrupulously meets all its tax requirements arising from its business in line with its Code of Ethics and the Sustainability Policy. Webuild fully complies with the applicable tax regulations in all the countries where it operates and has a collaborative and transparent relationship with the tax authorities. Webuild's 231 model defines its rules of

68 CapEx includes, when applicable, costs recognised in accordance with point 73.e)i) and iii) of IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment; point 118.e)i) of IAS 38 - Intangible assets; point 76.a) and b) (fair value model) of IAS 40 - Investment property; point 79.d)i) and ii) (cost model) of IAS 40 - Investment property; point 50.b) and e) of IAS 41 - Agriculture; and point 53.h) of IFRS 16 - leases. See the tables on changes in property, plant and equipment, rightof-use assets and intangible assets in notes 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 to the consolidated financial statements.

behaviour, prevention protocols and controls to ensure compliance with tax requirements and minimise the risk that tax crimes could be committed. It also serves to guarantee that the Group respects all the rules, procedures and processes to calculate taxes, keep tax records and prepare tax returns for approval. Webuild supports fair and sustainable competition as the best way to select the most qualified suppliers and to improve quality in the supply chain. The Group complies with competition laws in the markets where it operates and collaborates with the regulators. It refrains from collusive behaviour and abusive behaviour of a dominant position. It prohibits the collection of information about its competitors by illegal or unethical means.

  • The EU Taxonomy reporting requirements cover all the economic activities performed by entities in the scope of the NFRD (Non-Financial Reporting Directive), regardless of their geographical location. Therefore, Webuild assessed whether the activities performed by its in-scope entities but based outside the EU were aligned with the EU Taxonomy. It checked whether these activities were being performed in accordance with the requirements of EU legislation or another relevant international standard or an equivalent national law application in the third country.
  • Webuild assessed its projects' eligibility and/or alignment using the technical screening criteria defined in the Climate Delegated Acts. It considered both the work site/construction activities specified in the Delegated Acts as well as infrastructure design and operation. Similarly, where applicable, it assessed aspects closely connected to actual construction activities although this is not strictly required by the Delegated Acts. It took this approach to provide a greater perception of how environmentally sustainable its projects are, as well as the activities closely related to its core business. For example, it applies the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) principle for the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources related to economic activity 6.14. Infrastructure for rail transport. Webuild decided to assess this aspect given that work site preparation activities consume significant volumes of water70, although this is not required by the Regulation, while it was considered insignificant when the asset has been placed into service as rail transport infrastructures, by their nature, do not impact on the good ecological status of a body of water.
  • Webuild referred to the DNSH criteria to climate change adaptation (Appendix A Annex I of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021) to perform a double assessment based on the lifespan of the economic activity as specified in the criteria:

"[…] The climate risk and vulnerability assessment is proportionate to the scale of the activity and its expected lifespan, such that:

a) for activities with an expected lifespan of less than 10 years, the assessment is performed, at least by using climate projections at the smallest appropriate scale;

b) for all other activities, the assessment is performed using the highest available resolution, state-of-theart climate projections across the existing range of future scenarios consistent with the expected lifetime of the activity, including, at least, 10 to 30 year climate projections scenarios for major investments. […]"

Specifically, Webuild assessed whether its construction activities met these criteria as they generally fall into the category described in point a), i.e., as well as whether the resulting asset in operation met them as, due to their lifespan, they fall into the category described in point b), i.e., with an expected lifespan of more than 10 years. Webuild deems that the generic DNSH criteria to climate change adaptation are met both with respect to its work sites and the infrastructure and for just the construction activities. Such latter activities are closely tied to its core business and, only for these may it direct its efforts and investments to ensure they are carried out

70 Webuild referred to the Technical guidance on the application of 'do no significant harm' under the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation when performing this analysis.

sustainably. In line with this approach, if a project is an aligned activity, only the turnover, CapEx and OpEx related to Webuild's activities (construction activities)71 qualify as environmentally sustainable.

71 This approach is only correct when Webuild solely carries out construction activities or, in the case of EPC contracts, when it is not the party in charge of preparing the environmental impact assessment or equivalent report, which includes an assessment of the infrastructure's climate risk as described in point b) of Appendix A - Annex I of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021.

Scope of the Statement

As established by article 4 of Legislative decree no. 254/2016, this Consolidated Non-financial Statement includes the figures of the parent (Webuild S.p.A.) and its fully consolidated subsidiaries. The parent comprises its head offices in Italy (corporate), the directly run work sites, branches and joint operations for which it manages their operations, as per the list provided later in this document.

The Company has an internal procedure in place to define and regularly review the scope of the Statement based on its consolidation scope for financial reporting purposes. Specifically, it performs a materiality analysis on the list of entities making up the parent and fully comprised subsidiaries considering the level of operations of the individual entities, which are classified as:

  • operational (e.g., ongoing contracts);
  • limited operations (e.g., contracts being completed);
  • non-operational (e.g., entity in liquidation).

This Statement's scope includes entities classified as "operational" and "limited operations". A list of the entities included in the 2022 Statement's scope for which a non-financial reporting system was implemented is given below:

  • data about the anti-corruption risk assessment refer to the consolidation scope of the consolidated financial statements;
  • data about the labour force relate to the consolidation scope of the consolidated financial statements; with respect to the direct workforce, they are calculated in proportion to the Group's investment for the entities that qualify as joint operations; employees are not included in the calculation for equity-accounted entities and other entities;
  • data about health and safety of workers and QHSE training include the companies that are not fully consolidated for which the Group manages their operations and exclude joint operations when its partners are responsible for management of the Health and Safety Systems.

Any specific limitations to the scope are specified in the text or in the GRI Content Index.

Unless otherwise indicated, the 2020 and 2021 corresponding information is taken from the Group's 2021 Consolidated Non-Financial Statement to which reference should be made.

Calculation method

The data and information in this Statement are taken from the Group's information systems and a special nonfinancial reporting system introduced to meet the requirements of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards. The data were processed using accurate calculations and, if specified, estimates. The methods used to calculate the main data and indicators are set out below.

Benefits of ongoing projects

The data in the "Sustainability Strategy" and "Climate change" sections related to the benefits of ongoing projects, in terms of residents served and progress towards the SDGs, are processed internally based on the characteristics of the individual projects in portfolio and reputable statistical sources. When available, official information has been used (i.e., data provided by clients).

Additional information about the main data presented is provided below:

  • Beneficiaries of ongoing projects
    • o Clean Water projects calculated using the number of residents in the areas served by the projects and/or the equivalent residents served by the plants (sources: project data, internal processing);
    • o Clean Hydro Energy projects calculated using the number of residents served based on the plants' production capacity and current energy consumption levels (sources: project data, World Bank database, internal processing);

  • o Sustainability mobility metro projects calculated using the expected number of passengers a day considering the transport capacity; railways: calculated using the expected number of passengers based on current passenger numbers and expected increase in railway travel; roads: calculated as the number of expected vehicles based on current traffic intensity (sources: project data, Eurostat database, OECD, internal processing);
  • o Green Buildings & Other projects calculated using the number of people served by the projects (sources: project data, internal processing);
  • Contributions to SDGs 3, 6, 7, 9 and 11 calculated using the number of hospital beds, water treated by water treatment plants, installed capacity from renewable sources, reduction in railway travelling times and car trips avoided by taking the metro (sources: project data, internal processing);
  • Contribution to SDG 13 annual avoidable GHG emissions of ongoing low-carbon projects (hydropower plants, railways and metros), calculated as the difference between the emissions generated by the projects and the emissions that would be generated to obtain the same results (in terms of energy production and travel) with non-low-carbon systems (the average emission factor of the country in which the project is based was considered for the hydropower projects, the average emission factors of car trips were considered for railway and metro projects) (sources: project data, IEA database, Defra GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting, World Nuclear Association, internal processing).

Injury rates

The injury rates are calculated using the methods established by standard UNI 7249 "Statistics on occupational injuries". They show the number of injuries leading to lost workdays (LTIFR) and the number of recordable injuries for every million hours worked (TRFR).

Specifically, the LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) is calculated as the ratio of the total number of injuries leading to absence from work in the year (including death) to the total number of hours worked, multiplied by 1,000,000.

The TRFR (Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate) is calculated as the ratio of total recordable injuries (calculated considering deaths, injuries leading to absence from work, injuries only requiring medical treatment and injuries leading to assignment of reduced workloads in countries where this is allowed) to the total number of hours worked, multiplied by 1,000,000.

Any commuting injuries during the year are not considered.

Energy consumption and GHG emissions

The calculation of direct energy consumption is based on the conversion factors provided by the UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy - BEIS (Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting). Internal energy consumption refers to the in-scope entities' direct activities. Indirect energy consumption refers to activities performed by subcontractors.

The GHG emissions figures are based on an inventory of the Group's emissions in accordance with the GRI Standards, the recommendations of GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the requirements of the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi). The Group uses the operating control approach, i.e., it considers 100% of the emissions of the entities over which the Group controls their operating processes.

The GHG emissions were calculated and expressed as CO2 equivalent (CO2e). The Group used a calculation method based on the use of specific emission factors (EF) to calculate the total emissions of CO2eq.

The unit emission factors refer to the individual emission source and consider all the GHG contributions included in the calculation of the emissions expressed as CO2 equivalent (CO2, CH4, N20, HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3).

The data used to calculate the emissions from fuel, electricity, materials used, waste generated at the work sites, both for the directly performed works and subcontracted activities, are extrapolated from the reporting systems used by the work sites (e.g., industrial accounting, inventory records, QHSE reporting systems).

The data used to calculate the emissions from fuel and electricity used at the fixed work sites are taken from the suppliers' documentation (e.g., invoices, reports).

The data used to calculate the emissions associated with business trips, employee home-work commute, transportation of materials to work sites from the production facilities were calculated using documentation provided by the service providers (travel agencies, logistics companies, vehicle lease companies) and estimates.

The emission factors are taken from qualified databases and/or product environmental certifications.

The main databases used were:

  • Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy – BEIS)
  • CO2 Emissions from Fuel (International Energy Agency)
  • Fourth Assessment Report AR4 (IPCC)
  • Inventory of Carbon and Energy (Bath Inventory of Carbon and Energy ICE)
  • SimPro modelling software

The energy intensity rates and the GHG emission rates are calculated by comparing the total data (energy consumption and GHG emissions) to revenue for the period. Specifically, the intensity rate for GHG emissions includes the sum of scope 1 and scope 2 (market-based) emissions.

Water use

Data about water not taken from aqueducts, not obtained from other sources (e.g., water tanks) and not measured using meters are calculated considering the withdrawal systems' capacity (pump capacity in the average number of working hours) or production activity performed in the period.

Waste

The data refer to waste generated by the in-scope contracts (including waste produced by subcontractors) in line with the locally applicable regulations. When the data are expressed as a volume, the related weight is calculated using specific conversion factors. Information about the allocation methods for EU projects (i.e., how the waste is treated: recovery or disposal) is based on its legal classification. The methods used for non-EU projects reflect the conditions of the contracts agreed with third party waste management companies.

Composition of the highest governance body and its committees: p. 3, 85
Nomination and selection of the highest governance body: see the "Appointment of
2-10 the board of directors for the 2021-2023 period" section of the 2021 Annual Report
and the "Nominating and substitution" section of the Report on corporate
governance and the ownership structure.
2-11 Chair of the highest governance body: the chair of the board of directors Donato
Iacovone is not an executive director.
Role of the highest governance body in overseeing the management of impacts:
Webuild's board of directors pursues the organisation's sustainable success by:
- developing the Group's strategies to pursue sustainable success and monitoring its
implementation;
- defining the most suitable corporate governance system for the Group and
the pursuit of its strategies;
-promoting engagement with shareholders and other important stakeholders in the
most appropriate manner.
2-12 The board of directors plays a key role in pursuing the Group's sustainable success. It
reviews and/or approves (as proposed by the chief executive officer and the board
committees) the ESG strategy and plan, the short and long-term incentive plan, the
Consolidated Non-financial Statement, major projects and initiatives and their
progress.
With respect to ESG aspects, the board of directors is assisted by, in particular, the
Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Compensation and Nominating
Committee. (Source: Report on corporate governance and the ownership structure)
Delegation of responsibility for managing impacts: the board of directors has set up
a Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee to support its assessments and decisions
about the internal control and risk management system and its approval of the
periodic financial and non-financial reports. The Committee reports to the board of
directors every six months (source: Report on corporate governance and the
2-13 ownership structure). The Company has departments in charge of individual ESG
aspects such as HR, Organisation and System for social and environmental aspects
and Finance for financial aspects. With respect to the entire ESG area, the parent set
up a Corporate Social Responsibility Department in 2016 which promotes,
coordinates and develops sustainability matters on a global level.
Role of the highest governance body in sustainability reporting: the Control, Risk and
2-14 Sustainability Committee regularly reviews the Company's ESG performance,
including with respect to climate change, and the related plans and actions taken. It
also monitors the internal control and risk management system.
Conflicts of interest: Webuild has implemented a series of checks for the correct
management of conflicts of interest between the Company, its employees and/or
third parties with which it works. These checks are designed to mitigate the risks that
could arise from an untimely or incomplete management of conflicts of interest by
2-15 Webuild. To this end, the Company has a "Related Party Transactions Procedure" on
its website to which reference should be made for information about the rules and
standards governing transactions with related parties performed directly or through
subsidiaries in order to safeguard the transparency and substantial and procedural
correctness of such transactions.
Communication of critical concerns: the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee
reports to the board of directors every six months on its main activities of that period
2-16 and its assessment of the adequacy of the internal control and risk management
system, in accordance with recommendation 35.h) of the Code of Corporate
Governance. Reference is made to GRI 2-26 for information about the number and
nature of critical concerns.
Collective knowledge of the highest governance body: with respect to ESG aspects,
2-17 the board of directors is assisted in particular by the Control, Risk and Sustainability
Committee which reports on its activities and changes in the reference context.

Directors' report - Part III

Risk management system

The context in which the Group currently operates, characterised by rapid macroeconomic changes, financial markets' instability and progressive developments of legal and regulatory compliance regulations, especially as a result of the spread and continuation of Covid-19 and the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, and affected by megatrends such as climate change and resource scarcity in the medium to long-term, requires clear strategies and effective management processes aimed at preserving and maximising value.

As part of its internal controls and risk management system, the Group has a risk management framework, which it keeps up-to-date, is an integral part of internal procedures and is extended to all operating companies to identify, assess, manage and monitor risks in accordance with industry best practices.

Development, implementation and circulation of the risk management framework (presented in the following chart) is designed to assist senior management with strategic and commercial planning and operations through the comprehensive, in-depth analysis of relevant factors for the Group's business, the local contexts in which it operates and the particular operating requirements of its individual contracts, facilitating the identification and monitoring of related risks, be they economic, financial or non-financial (sustainability or ESG risks).

In 2022, the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine worsened the macroeconomic context in which the Group and its supply chain operate, heightening the inflationary effect of raw material and commodity prices already seen during the pandemic. Accordingly, the Group's risk management activities focused on the identification and handling of the repercussions of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the residual effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the risks and opportunities related to climate change and the energy transition.

With respect to the volatile commodity prices and in line with its approach adopted in 2021, the risk management unit and other competent units carried out specific checks and monitored the trends of construction material prices to keep senior management informed and in a position to promptly define risk mitigation strategies. This approach allowed the Group to present its timely application in the first half of 2022 for compensation for the hikes in the more significant construction material prices in the second half of 2021 for

its Italian contracts in accordance with article 1-septies of Decree law no. 73/2021 (the Sostegni-bis decree), converted with amendments by Law no. 106 of 23 July 2021. Decree law no. 50/2022 (the Aiuti decree) defined specific measures to cover the exceptional increases in the prices of construction materials in 2022. Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget act) confirmed the current measures, extending the Aiuti decree for the contracts in place throughout 2023.

Starting from 2021, the Group extended the roles and duties of the first level control functions to strengthen its risk management framework and ensure greater oversight and integration of the risk assessment models and risk mitigation actions in the business control model. During 2022, its risk management first level controls have been implemented and are operational.

The Group concurrently continued its project to implement a structured business continuity management system in compliance with ISO 22301, designed to develop procedures to manage critical events that could undermine its operations using a procedure for the introduction of proactive and flexible business continuity strategies.

These procedures and the Group's ongoing development of the frameworks allow it to promptly and carefully analyse its risk profile and identify how to manage those more relevant risk events with tailored measures.

Business risks

External risks are those that may compromise the Group's achievement of its objectives, i.e. all events whose occurrence is not influenced by corporate decisions. This category includes all risks arising from a country's macroeconomic and socio-political dynamics, global megatrends (climate change, resource scarcity, urbanisation and commodity prices), sector trends and competitive scenario, as well as from industry-specific technological innovation and regulatory developments and the projects' long-term nature.

Given the nature of such risks, the Group must rely on its forecasting and managing abilities. Specifically, Webuild integrates risk vision in its strategic and business planning processes through the definition of commercial and risk guidelines and the development of a process for the prioritisation and selection of initiatives to be pursued, also and above all based on the assessment of relevant risks linked to the country and/or sector in which operations are planned, rather than to the counterparty. Risk control is also ensured by monitoring the progress of strategic objectives, including in terms of composition and diversification of the portfolio and its development over time in terms of risk profile.

Strategic risks

These risks arise from strategic, business and organisational decisions that may adversely impact the Group's performance and ultimately result in the non-achievement of strategic objectives. They include risks resulting from the choice of business or organisational models through which the Group intends to operate, those arising from M&A transactions, or the ineffective management of the order portfolio or the relationships with key counterparties (customers, partners, suppliers, sub-contractors, etc.).

Webuild considers risk a key element for the preliminary assessment of decisions and strategic choices, so much so that it provided for integration of the strategy definition and development process with that for the identification, measurement and management of risks. The choices pertaining to the adoption of a business or organisational model, the assessment about the opportunity of proceeding with an extraordinary transaction or establishing a partnership are subject to preliminary analysis and evaluation of the related risks and opportunities, with the concurrent identification of risk management methods and strategies to be promptly activated should such risks arise.

Financial risks

Risks linked to the availability of group resources, depending on the management of receivables and cash and cash equivalents and/or the volatility of market variables such as interest and exchange rates, are included in this category.

Specifically, liquidity management has the objective of ensuring the financial autonomy of contracts in progress, taking into account the structure of consortia and special purpose entities, which can tie the availability of financial resources to the execution of the relevant projects. Moreover, liquidity management takes into account restrictions to currency transfers imposed by the legislation of some countries.

Webuild engages constantly in developing effective financial planning tools to allow, inter alia, prudent management of cash, debt exposure and guarantee commitments based on various risk scenarios. It evaluates specific risk areas such as the counterparty's credit rating and raw materials price volatility.

Legal and compliance risk

This risk class includes risks for the management of legal issues and/or risks related to compliance with laws and regulations (e.g., taxation, local legislation, etc.) required in order to operate in the sector and/or specific countries and the risks arising from the management of contracts with business partners. Webuild deems that monitoring contractual issues linked to contract management and, particularly, the relationship with relevant counterparties, is fundamental. This also includes any internal and external fraud risks, and, more generally, the compliance with procedures and policies established by the Group to govern its operations.

With respect to the aforementioned factors, Webuild implements a regulatory risk monitoring and management policy in order to minimise the impact of such risk, through a multi-level control system that entails collaborative and ongoing liaison with relevant counterparties and business units affected by regulatory developments and the comprehensive assessment of any potential impacts.

Operational risks

These are risks that could jeopardize value creation and are due to an inefficient and/or ineffective management of the Group's core business, particularly those linked to bid management and actual execution of contracts. The various risk areas that fall into this class include bid design and planning, logistics and inventory management, as well as those linked to the management of IT systems, planning and reporting, effective supply chain and personnel management, including with respect to health and safety, the environment, human rights and local communities.

The Group monitors operational risks starting from the bidding stage for each project to evaluate its potential risks and benefits and possible order backlog concentration. As part of a wider process, Webuild prepares a prebid risk assessment aimed at identifying potential risks and impacts linked to the project, as well as the necessary mitigation and/or contingency measures to counter them. The risk surveillance activity is updated constantly during the tender stage and is then monitored and updated during contract execution in order to promptly detect the risk of changes in its risk exposure and swiftly implement adequate remediation measures.

As part of the aforementioned framework for the identification and classification of risks applicable to group operations, Webuild has adopted a cross-functional approach for the analysis of risk dimensions that are considered more relevant due to the specific features of its business. These dimensions include various risk areas identified and belonging to Webuild's risk universe as described later.

***

Country risk

The Group pursues its objectives by operating almost everywhere in the world, leveraging business opportunities in different countries and hence exposing itself to the risks resulting from the characteristics and conditions dictated by them, such as the political, economic and social scenario, local regulations, taxation and operational complexity and, last but not least, work and safety conditions.

Being aware of and constantly monitoring country risk through specific indicators enables the Group first and foremost to define informed commercial strategies, as well as to gain an optimal understanding of the operating scenario and, therefore, adopt precautions and/or implement actions aimed at removing barriers and mitigating potential threats.

Counterparty risk

Management of counterparty risk requires identification of potential criticalities linked to relationships with the Group's customers, shareholders, subcontractors and suppliers, so as to create a comprehensive overview of the features of the partners with which Webuild may start or continue to collaborate. For each of the above counterparty types, risk factors linked to financial and operational reliability apply to a different extent, as does the potential strategic role of a partnership for a specific business initiative, as well as all legal and compliance aspects and those related to the applicable standards (ethics, quality, health and safety, environment, human rights) that safeguard the lawfulness of the relationship. The group risk officer coordinates and supervises a counterparty analysis for each new project, involving all the competent departments, which is updated during the contract's performance. This analysis allows the more precise identification and management of the critical issues that could arise during the contract's operational stages and more accurate planning of the possible mitigation actions.

Contract risk

The contract dimension is key for an effective analysis of all risks linked to the Group's core business, since it is considered to define tools capable of identifying and monitoring so-called contract risks starting from the bidding stage in a risk prevention perspective, as part of an in-depth analysis of the risks and opportunities linked to the pursuit of a specific activity. Another fundamental aspect is the ongoing tracking of risks once they have been consciously taken on by management, managing the resulting risk exposure in a proactive, dynamic way, as well as its ongoing development over time.

***

The analysis of key risk dimensions and the related risk areas has the aim of providing management with a twosided overview: a detailed one (i.e., at individual country, counterparty and contract level) and a portfolio one (for assessment of the overall exposure to such dimension), in order to assess the Group's risk profile as well as its compliance with the exposure limits imposed by its risk management capacity. Moreover, the portfolio overview enables the performance of systematic assessments about the potential development of the risk profile upon the occurrence of certain events and/or specific choices, through the use of dedicated risk management tools.

The risk management framework, as outlined above and subject to further and future developments, has been designed to support decision-making and operational processes at every stage of the management of projects, in order to reduce the possibility that certain events could compromise the Group's normal business operations or attainment of its defined strategic objectives: to this end, it is integrated in strategic, business planning, bidding and operating processes to allow the ongoing monitoring of the Group's risk profile and the impact that possible strategic and operating decisions could have on its risk profile, also considering its risk appetite.

Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine crisis

During 2022, governments started to lift the restrictions adopted to contain the Covid-19 emergency, thanks in part to the progress made in rolling out the vaccination campaign. At the date of preparation of this report, none of the work sites had any critical issues arising from the pandemic. The Group's priorities continue to be protecting the health of its employees and partners, ensuring business continuity and mitigating the financial impact of the pandemic.

With respect to the Russia-Ukraine crisis that broke out in February 2022, the Group does not currently operate in either country.

That being said, the Russia-Ukraine crisis and possible further unpredictable developments of the pandemic have created uncertainties and risks for the markets and the global economy, the effects of which are difficult to foresee. One of the indirect effects is the exceptional volatility of commodity prices, as commented on below.

The Group is monitoring the situation. Given the uncertainties, which are outside its control, there is a risk that the Group's future results may differ from those currently expected.

Employee management and prevention measures to deal with the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine crisis

In 2022, as the public health situation improved, the Group gradually relaxed the prevention and anti-contagion measures that it had put in place months before. However, it prudently maintained certain measures and continued to monitor the situation.

The Group does not operate in Ukraine or Russia. However, when the war broke out, it had 14 Ukrainian employees in that country.

Webuild responded to the crisis by offering accommodation to its Ukrainian employees who wanted it and had the ability to avail of it both abroad, for example at the Polish work sites, and in western Ukraine in cities near the Polish border far from the war front.

Supply chain

The pandemic and, more recently, the Russia-Ukraine war significantly disrupted the supply chain in 2022. While the surge in commodity prices seen in the first half of the year tapered off in the second six months, the energy crisis triggered by the geopolitical situation drove up electricity prices which peaked in the third quarter of the year.

Given this situation, the Group's approach to its supply chain was to continue the mitigation measures introduced in 2020 such as the identification of alternative procurement solutions and the urgent transfers of equipment from one work site to another. It also closely observed the market in order to adapt its purchasing strategies to contain prices.

With respect to contract management, most of the foreign contracts are drawn up in accordance with the international standards of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), which provide for risk mitigation clauses including risks related to changes in the cost of works due to increases in raw materials prices.

The Italian government issued Law no. 91 of 15 July 2022, converting Decree law no. 50 of 17 May 2022 (the Aiuti decree) in the second half of the year. This confirmed the measures to counter the rise in prices of raw materials, fuel and energy. In addition, Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget act), effective from 1 January 2023, confirmed the measures to update price lists and revise the prices of contract work in progress in order to tackle the exceptional hikes in prices expected for 2023.

Cyber risk associated with the Russia-Ukraine crisis

The Group has introduced cyber security measures at head office and branch level as recommended by Bank of Italy, Consob, IVASS (the Italian Institute for Insurance Supervision) and UIF (Bank of Itay's Financial Intelligence

Unit) in their joint communication of 7 March 2022 and the recommendations of the Italian Cyber Security Agency.

It has engaged the services of leading international cyber security and cyber intelligence companies to regularly monitor developments and adopt all necessary risk mitigation measures.

ESG risk management

Webuild's Sustainability Strategy is embedded in the Group's business model and strategy and is underpinned by two key pillars: its contribution to global challenges and its unceasing commitment to acting responsibly.

The Group's commitment to reaching its sustainable development targets as per the SDGs defined by the UN is summarised in its 2021-2023 ESG Plan whose priorities include the fight against climate change and promotion of the circular economy (Planet), the protection and enhancement of its people (People), and continuous improvement leveraging innovation and digitalisation (Progress)72 .

Transition to a low-carbon economy that is more environmentally sustainable can create risks for companies due to the possible acceleration in the tightening-up of environmental and climate policies, as well as developments in technologies and stakeholders' increasing focus on environmental issues. Moreover, the intensification of climate change phenomena and their impact on the main areas of the value chain are one of the greatest challenges that companies face in the short and medium to long term.

In order to identify and adopt the necessary solutions and tools to (i) minimise the impact of physical risks, and (ii) pre-empt transition risks arising on the transition to a low-carbon economy, Webuild has deemed it appropriate to continue to include ESG risks in the regular group risk assessment performed by the risk management department.

Webuild has established a procedure to assess the magnitude of the risks most pertinent to it with a dynamic risk model, designed for continuous fine-tuning and alignment with changes in the reference market and to the guidelines of the market regulators. This procedure has already confirmed the essentiality of sustainability and the transversal nature of the topics identified by the materiality analysis as per the new GRI Universal Standards 2021.

The Group's mitigation measures are summarised in the "Main physical and transition risks" section of the Consolidated Non-financial Statement. The budgets for the Group's contracts reflect its commitments with steady investments made to ensure their greater efficiency.

The most significant risks and opportunities tied to climate change and the energy transition that could affect the Group's cash flows, financial position and financial performance include the definition of climate strategies, the decarbonisation roadmap, the issue of sustainability-linked bonds and the 2020-2022 long-term variable incentive (LTI) plan which includes dedicated sustainability targets.

72 More information is available in the "Sustainability Strategy" section of the Consolidated Non-financial Statement.

Main risk factors and uncertainties

In addition to that set out in the "Business risk management" section above, the following specific situations linked to major outstanding disputes, country risk exposure and situations characterised by risk and/or uncertainty profiles at 31 December 2022 should be added to the risk universe that may potentially impact on operations.

Civil litigation

USW Campania projects

The USW Campania issue comprises various proceedings in different jurisdictions, some of which have been described in extensive detail in previous years and have been resolved in the Group's favour, while others are pending at different court levels. The main aspects of the key civil, administrative and criminal proceedings are described below.

Civil proceedings

    1. In May 2005, the government commissioner filed a motion requesting compensation from Fibe S.p.A. ("Fibe") and FISIA Ambiente S.p.A. ("Fisia Ambiente") for alleged damage of about €43 million. During the hearing, the commissioner increased its claims to approximately €700 million, further to the additional claim for damage to its reputation, calculated to be approximately €1,000 million. The companies appeared before the court and, in addition to disputing the claims made by the government commissioner, filed a counterclaim requesting compensation for damage due to contract default and sundry expenses for over €650 million, plus a further claim for reputation damage quantified at €1.5 billion.In the same proceeding, the banks that issued Fibe and Fibe Campania S.p.A.'s ("Fibe Campania") performance bonds to the government commissioner also requested the commissioner's claim be dismissed and, in any case, to be held harmless by Webuild, which appeared before the court and disputed the banks' requests. In ruling no. 4253/2011, the judge declared their lack of jurisdiction referring the case to the administrative judge. The attorney general filed an appeal which was rejected on 14 February 2019 and the first level ruling was upheld. The attorney general has appealed to the Supreme Court.
    1. On 30 November 2015, the Office of the Prime Minister received a new claim form served by both Fibe and other group companies involved in various ways in the activities performed in Campania for the waste disposal service, containing claims for the damage suffered as a result of termination of the contracts in 2005.

The total amount claimed is €2,429 million. Considering that some requests are already included in other proceedings, the net amount is €2,258 million. The Office of the Prime Minister filed a counterclaim for €845 million for reasons already included in other proceedings. The court appointed an expert to appraise the subordinated claim filed by Fibe that prepared two alternative appraisals of the amount due to Fibe of approximately €56 million or approximately €114 million. The competent judge handed down the ruling on 25 October 2019, finding that Fibe was due approximately €114 million and the Office of the Prime Minister approximately €80 million. After offsetting the two amounts, the Office of the Prime Minister was ordered to pay Fibe approximately €34 million plus interest accruing from 4 December 2015. Both Fibe and the Office of the Prime Minister have filed separate appeals. In the meantime, the amount plus interest was collected on 20 July 2022 as part of the enforcement proceeding which is discussed later in this report (in the administrative litigation section).

  1. There is another proceeding commenced by the Office of the Prime Minister for the return of the advance of approximately €52 million paid for the construction of the waste-to-energy plants ("WtE plants"). Fibe has claimed that the receivables due from the Office of the Prime Minister, mostly for work performed on its behalf and for the fees due to Fibe, would offset this advance. The first level hearing ended with ruling

no. 4658/2019 in which the Naples Court only allowed part of Fibe's receivables (the fees already collected by the Office of the Prime Minister) for offsetting purposes, ordering the company to return the difference between the advance collected and the receivables allowed for offsetting, with the result that Fibe owed roughly €10 million, plus interest, to the Office of the Prime Minister. This ruling is contrary to the report prepared by the court-appointed expert which found that Fibe was due the entire amount of its receivables. Fibe has filed its appeal. The above amount (approximately €10 million) could be offset against Fibe's larger receivable as per the ruling described in the section on the administrative litigation - the USW Campania projects below.

Given the complexity and range of the different disputes, the Group cannot exclude that events may arise in the future that cannot currently be foreseen which might require changes to these assessments.

Panama Canal extension project

Certain critical issues arose during the first stage of full-scale production on the project to expand the Panama Canal which, due to their specific characteristics and the materiality of the work to which they relate, made it necessary to significantly negatively revise the estimates made during the early phases of the project. The most critical issues related, inter alia, to the geological characteristics of the excavation areas, specifically with respect to the raw materials required to produce concrete and the processing of such raw materials during normal production activities. Additional problems arose due to the adoption by the customer of operational and management procedures substantially different from those contractually agreed, specifically with regard to the processes for the approval of technical and design solutions suggested by the contractor. These facts, which were the subject of specific disclosures in previous reports published by the Group, continued in 2013 and 2014.Faced with the customer's persistent unwillingness to reasonably implement appropriate, contractually provided for measures to manage such disputes, the contractor - and thus the original contracting partners - was forced to acknowledge the resulting impossibility to continue the construction activities needed to complete the project at its full and exclusive risk by undertaking the relevant full financial burden without any guarantee of the commencement of objective negotiations with the counterparty. In this context, at the end of 2013, formal notice was sent to the customer to inform it of the intention to immediately suspend work if the customer refused once again to address this dispute in accordance with a contractual approach based on good faith and the willingness of all parties to reach a reasonable agreement.

Negotiations between the parties, supported by the respective consultants and legal experts, were carried out through February 2014 and, on 13 March 2014, an agreement was signed. The essential elements of the agreement provided that the contractor would resume works and functionally complete them by 31 December 2015, while the customer and contracting companies agreed to provide financial support for the works to be finished up to a maximum of about €1.3 billion. The customer met its obligation by granting a moratorium on the refunding of already disbursed contract advances totalling about €729 million and disbursing additional advances amounting to approximately €91 million. The group of contracting companies met their obligation by directly disbursing approximately €91 million and additional financial resources, through the conversion into cash of existing contractual guarantees totalling around €360 million.

While the 13 March 2014 agreement provided for financial support to complete the Canal, claims were made by the contractor Grupo Unidos Por el Canal ("GUPC") to the customer during the contract's execution.

After the pre-litigation stage before the Dispute Adjudication Board ("DAB") to discuss the claims as provided for contractually, there are a number of separate arbitration hearings ongoing before the International Chamber of Commerce in Miami, Florida between GUPC (with its European partners Sacyr, Webuild (previously Salini Impregilo) and Jan De Nul) and the Panama Canal Authority ("PCA") as described below:

  1. arbitration about the dispute adjudication board's ("DAB) decisions on the claims presented by GUPC about the inadequate quality of the basalt compared to the quality guaranteed by PCA and the lengthy delays caused by PCA to approve the design formula for the concrete mix. The DAB had found that GUPC was due USD265.3 million, which it collected in full. After the proceeding confirming the arbitration tribunal's competence to rule on the damages incurred by the individual consortium members, the tribunal issued a

partial award at the end of September 2020, accepting some of GUPC's claims for USD20.7 million as well as some claims for which the parties have agreed the amounts. PCA also paid GUPC an additional approximate USD6.1 million. The arbitration tribunal defined the arbitration costs with a final award as USD33.4 million (USD13.5 million for Webuild). At the end of November 2020, GUPC's legal advisors filed a petition for the cancellation of the partial award with the Miami Court (Florida, USA). In February 2021, after the arbitration tribunal's final award, Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. paid approximately USD272 million to settle its liabilities with the customer, using the financial support provided by its European partners (Webuild's share: roughly USD110 million). At the end of April 2021, a petition for cancellation of the final award was filed. On 18 November 2021, the arbitration tribunal rejected GUPC's petition and confirmed the arbitration award; GUPC has requested its legal advisors to file an appeal;

    1. arbitration about the extra costs incurred by GUPC due to certain unjustified conditions imposed by PCA for the design of the lock gates and other claims about labour costs;
    1. arbitration commenced at the end of 2016 involving the sundry claims mentioned in the completion certification; the arbitration tribunal has already been set up and GUPC presented its first brief in October 2021.

On 11 March 2020, Webuild filed its arbitration application with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) against Panama. It has claimed damage for the Central American country's repeated violations of the bilateral investment treaty agreed by its government with the Italian government in 2009 to promote and protect investments. The arbitration tribunal was set up on 4 December 2020. The proceedings are still at an initial stage.

Already in previous years, the Group applied a valuation approach to the project on the basis of which significant losses to complete the contract were recognised, offset in part by the corresponding recognition of the additional consideration claimed from the customer and determined based on the expectation that recognition of such consideration could be reasonably deemed to be highly probable based on the opinions expressed by its legal experts and in light of the damages awarded by the DAB.

In 2022, the estimate of the extra costs to complete the project was updated, as well as the additional consideration claimed from the customer (again with the support of the Group's experts). The Group has reflected this situation in its consolidated financial statements.

Considering the uncertainties linked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

CAVTOMI Consortium (high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan line)

With respect to the contract for the high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan railway line - Novara - Milan sub-section, the general contractor Fiat S.p.A. (subsequently FCA N.V., "FCA" and now Stellantis N.V., "Stellantis") is required to follow the registered claims of the general subcontractor CAVTOMI Consortium ("CAVTOMI" or the "consortium"), in which Webuild has a share of 74.69%, against the customer Rete Ferroviaria Italiana ("RFI").

Accordingly, in 2008, FCA initiated contractual arbitration proceedings against RFI for the award of damages suffered for delays in the works ascribable to the customer, non-achievement of the early completion bonus also due to the customer and higher consideration. On 9 July 2013, the arbitration tribunal handed down an award in favour of FCA, ordering RFI to pay approximately €187 million (of which about €185 million pertaining to CAVTOMI).

RFI appealed against the award before the Rome Appeal Court in 2013 and paid the amount due to FCA, which in turn forwarded the relevant share to CAVTOMI. The ruling of 23 September 2015 of the Rome Appeal Court cancelled a large part of the aforementioned arbitration award. FCA appealed to the Supreme Court and the revocation application is currently pending before it after being rejected by the Appeal Court in October 2019.

Following the Appeal Court's ruling, RFI notified FCA of a writ of enforcement of approximately €175 million and

subsequently the two parties reached an agreement whereby FCA (i) paid approximately €66 million, and (ii) issued RFI a bank surety of €100 million (€75 million by Webuild).

On 2 February 2022, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling rejecting FCA's appeal, based on which the parent had adjusted the claims' estimated realisable value and the carrying amount of contract assets in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021, without prejudice to the hearing about the revocation application still pending before the Supreme Court.

In addition, FCA and the consortium have commenced the following actions:

  • filing of an appeal by FCA with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court on 11 November 2016 for the claims of approximately €18 million presented during the contract's term and not covered by the previous award of 2013. This proceeding was firstly suspended from the register and then resumed. It is currently pending before the competent administrative judge;
  • on 12 October 2017, presentation of a claim form to the Rome Court by FCA for claims made during the contract term and not covered by the previous award for €109 million. With its ruling no. 11976 of 26 July 2022, the Rome Court substantially acknowledged the court-appointed expert's findings and accepted part of FCA's claims ordering RFI to pay €14.2 million, including the monetary revaluation and the legal default interest accruing from the date of publication of the ruling. The ruling also provided for the release of the remaining performance bond of approximately €21 million;
  • on 1 June 2022, Stellantis filed an appeal with the European Court of Human Rights challenging the legitimacy of the Appeal Judge's ruling (confirmed by the Supreme Court) which cancelled the arbitration award after reviewing the merits of the evidence already assessed by the arbitration tribunal and which did not properly reconcile the legitimate interests of the two parties. The European Court of Human Rights declared the appeal inadmissible on 6 October 2022.

Strait of Messina Bridge - Eurolink

In March 2006, as lead contractor of the joint venture created for this project (interest of 45%) (subsequently merged into the SPE Eurolink S.C.p.A., "Eurolink"), Impregilo (subsequently Webuild and now Webuild Italia) signed a contract with Stretto di Messina S.p.A. ("SDM") for its engagement as general contractor for the final and executive designs and construction of the Strait of Messina Bridge and related roadway and railway connectors.

SDM and Eurolink signed a rider in September 2009 which covered, inter alia, suspension of the project works carried out since the contract was signed and until that date. As provided for by the rider, the final designs were delivered to the customer and its board of directors approved them on 29 July 2011.

Decree law no. 187 was issued on 2 November 2012 providing for "Urgent measures for the renegotiation of the contracts with Stretto di Messina S.p.A. (the customer) and for local public transport", after which Eurolink exercised the right to withdraw from the contract as per the contract terms on behalf of all the co-venturers. Eurolink has commenced various legal proceedings in Italy and the EU, arguing that the provisions of the above decree are contrary to the Constitution and EU laws and that they damage Eurolink's legally acquired rights under the contract. It has also requested that SDM be ordered to pay the amounts requested by the general contractor due to the termination of the contract. With regard to the actions filed at EU level, in November 2013, the European Commission communicated its decision not to follow up the proceedings, as no treaties were violated, and confirmed this on 7 January 2014, with a communication dismissing the case. As regards the civil action in Italy, Webuild and all the members of Eurolink have jointly and separately asked that SDM be ordered to pay the amounts due, for various reasons, as a result of the termination of the contract (approximately €657 million). The various actions and related rulings have been joined.

On 16 October 2018, the Rome Court rejected the applications filed by the claimants and the counterclaims filed by SDM. Conversely, the Rome Court declared that the customer's termination of the contract with Parsons Transportation Group Inc. ("Parsons"), engaged by SDM for the project management services, was legitimate

(referring calculation of the compensation for damage to Parsons to the judgment of the Constitutional Court). As the process is joined to that of Eurolink, Webuild deems that the legal approach which led to the ruling in the latter case is, mutatis mutandis, also applicable to Eurolink.

Eurolink and Webuild filed their appeal against this ruling before the Rome Appeal Court on 28 December 2018.

The parties involved in the appeal hearing presented themselves in court: (i) the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Office of the Prime Minister, without presenting a counter appeal, (ii) Stretto di Messina S.p.A. in liquidation presenting a counter appeal, and (iii) Parsons presenting a counter appeal for its part of the proceedings. The ruling has not yet been handed down at the date of preparation of this report.

Eurolink sent formal letters (letters before action) dated 24 December 2020 requesting payment of approximately €60 million as compensation for the costs incurred, the legally-due compensation and the release of the bank surety of €239 million. At the date of preparation of this report, these letters have led solely to the release of the bank surety.

In the meantime, the Constitutional Court found the issue of legitimacy of the Decree law for Parson's position to be inadmissible as the order for its re-examination by the court was insufficiently documented. The Rome Court will now have to review the application and possibly defer it again to the Constitutional Court.

The Constitutional Court's ruling does not affect the Appeal Court's hearing about constitutionality refiled by Eurolink.

Given the complexity of the pending proceedings, while the experts assisting Webuild and the general contractor are confident about the positive outcome of the legal actions and recovery of the outstanding assets (mainly contract assets recognised for this project), they cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise which would require changes to the assessments made to date. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities.

Orastie - Sibiu Motorway

In July 2011, Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) commenced work on the motorway contract to build the Orastie - Sibiu section (Lot 3), which included 22.1 km of two lane motorway in each direction (in addition to the emergency lanes).

The contract was entered into with the Romanian National Road & Highways Company ("CNAIR") and 85% financed with EU structural funds and 15% by the Romanian government.

Progress on the contract has been adversely affected by a number of events outside Webuild's control such as unpredictable vast landslides on approximately 6.6 km of the route.

Despite this, the lot was delivered to the customer and opened to the traffic on 14 November 2014 while additional work made necessary by the landslides was still under completion.

Notwithstanding the first favourable ruling by the DAB and the award of approximately €6 million to Webuild, the customer refused to acknowledge the unpredictable nature of the landslides and to pay the amounts due.

In June 2015, Webuild stopped work due to non-payment of the amounts awarded to it by the DAB.

In September 2015, Webuild presented an application for arbitration and the first partial award of RON83.8 million (approximately €18.2 million) was issued in March 2017 which it subsequently collected.

In January 2016, with works completion at 99.9%, following a number of disputes between the parties, the customer terminated the contract and enforced the contractual guarantees of RON60.5 million (approximately €13.5 million) on 20 April 2016, motivating such unilateral decision as being due to the alleged non-resolution of non-compliances notified by works management. The parent promptly formally contested the contract termination.

With respect to the arbitration proceedings commenced before the Paris International Chamber of Commerce

for the delays and additional costs of €57 million, on 17 October 2019, the award was handed down rejecting the Group's requests and awarding damages for delays to the customer of approximately €19 million. The parent has presented an application for the cancellation of the final award to the Romanian courts. On 2 July 2020, the Bucharest Appeal Court cancelled this award and the related suspended enforcement. On 12 September 2020, CNAIR challenged the Appeal Court's decision before the Supreme Court which confirmed cancellation of the award in September 2022. As a result, the Group recommenced arbitration proceedings before the Court of International Commercial Arbitration attached to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania ("CCIR").

In the meantime, on 17 February 2021, the Bucharest Court confirmed Webuild's obligation to return RON83.8 million collected on the basis of the partial award, seeing that it has been cancelled. In May 2022, Webuild obtained suspension of the enforcement of this amount by CNAIR from the Appeal Court until after the other pending disputes have been settled. In the meantime, CNAIR arbitrarily offset the amount against other amounts related to the Lugoj Deva project in Romania, which was completely contrary to the existing agreements. Webuild responded by commencing arbitration proceedings before the Paris International Chamber of Commerce claiming the return of the incorrectly offset amounts. At the date of preparation of this report, the proceedings are at an initial phase and the first briefs have not yet been exchanged.

On 17 February 2020, the Group filed a new different application for arbitration to the CCIR challenging the validity of CNAIR's enforcement of the performance bond and requesting the return of the related amounts plus damages and interest. The CCIR notified the parties of its final award on 25 February 2021. The sole arbitrator ordered CNAIR to repay RON60.5 million of the performance bond which was unfairly enforced and to reimburse the legal costs and interest as well as the arbitration costs (approximately €0.2 million in total). CNAIR filed an appeal against the award with the Romanian Supreme Court, which rejected it in November 2022, making the award definitive. Despite this, CNAIR included the amount involved in its arbitrary and unlawful offsetting (see above), which is the subject of the ICC arbitration proceedings.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that its arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the Group has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

Considering the uncertainties linked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

Contorno Rodoviario Florianópolis (Brazil)

On 21 September 2016, the Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) and Cigla Constructora Impregilo e Associados S.A. ("CCSIC") joint venture signed a contract with Autopista Litoral Sul S.A. worth approximately €75 million for the construction of a new dual carriageway roughly 30 km in length to reduce the large volume of traffic in the Florianópolis metropolitan region.

The project immediately ran into critical engineering problems due to the damp soil and the area's weather conditions, which CCSIC attempted to resolve by proposing new solutions to the customer (although it was not contractually obliged to do so).

In June 2018, CCSIC presented claims to the customer for higher costs and extension of the contract term. Despite the fact that the negotiations were still ongoing and the related memorandum of understanding was supposed to be signed in the near future, in January 2019, the customer informed CCSIC of its intention to terminate the contract.

CCSIC deems that this termination is illegal and contrary to the principle of good faith. Therefore, in 2019, it filed an appeal with the competent local judicial authorities (the Joinville first level court) requesting payment of the higher dismantlement costs of approximately €2 million and ratification of the memorandum of understanding,

confirmation of the validity of the arbitration clause in such memorandum of understanding and the finding that termination of the contract by the customer was invalid.

In addition, Webuild's legal advisors requested the urgent and precautionary suspension of the enforcement of CCSIC's guarantees.

The competent Brazilian judge (Joinville Court) has guaranteed the judicial blocking of enforcement of the bank guarantee for the advance (roughly €2.3 million) and the insurance performance bond (around €7 million) by the customer on a precautionary basis.

Pending the civil trial of 4 October 2019, CCSIC also commenced an international arbitration proceeding (based on the arbitration clause included in the memorandum of understanding) for the claims of approximately €20 million notified before the contract had been terminated.

The customer in turn obtained the suspension of the arbitration proceedings from the competent Brazilian judge (Joinville Court), which CCSIC immediately appealed before the Santa Caterina Appeal Court.

In January 2021, the Appeal Court ruled i) to maintain suspension of the enforcement of CCSIC's guarantees (which the customer has not appealed) and ii) to continue to suspend the arbitration proceedings. CCSIC appealed this ruling before Brazil's Supreme Court (Corte Superior de Justicia) and intends to apply for resumption of the arbitration.

In the meanwhile, the Joinville first level court handed down its ruling on 6 July 2021 finding the application filed in 2019 by CCSIC to be groundless, finding the customer's termination of the contract to be legitimate, cancelling the international arbitration proceedings, the freezing of the enforcement of the guarantees and rejecting the appeal to recommence arbitration that had been filed in the third appeal before the Supreme Court.

On 6 August 2021, CCSIC appealed against this ruling before the Santa Caterina Appeal Court. On 10 November 2021, the Court accepted CCSIC's application for the precautionary blocking of the guarantees until a decision has been taken on the merits of the case.

On 29 June 2022, the Appeal Court's ruling confirmed the first level ruling. Assisted by its legal advisors, CCSIC will assess whether to challenge the ruling before the Supreme Court with respect to continuation of the arbitration and the termination of the contract.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities.

Considering the uncertaintieslinked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

Rome Metro

As part of the contract for the design and construction of the works for the B1 line of the Rome Metro, Webuild (formerly Salini Impregilo) commenced three legal proceedings in its name and as lead contractor of the joint venture against Roma Metropolitane S.r.l. ("Roma Metropolitane") and Roma Capitale requesting they be ordered to pay the disputed claims recorded during works execution, for which a technical appraisal by a courtappointed expert was provided.

  1. Supreme Court - claims for the final billing for the Bologna - Conca d'Oro section

The Rome Court's ruling of August 2016 settled the first level proceedings involving the claims made for the Bologna - Conca d'Oro section and partly accepted the joint venture's requests, ordering Roma Metropolitane to pay roughly €11 million, plus VAT and related costs.

The joint venture commenced the necessary actions to collect the receivable based on this temporary

enforceable ruling, which allowed it to collect the accepted amounts. It also presented an appeal for the award of a greater amount.

The Rome Appeal Court handed down its ruling of July 2018 rejecting the grounds for the joint venture's appeal and concurrently partly accepted the counter appeal presented by Roma Metropolitane, finding claim no. 38 to be ungrounded, although it had been partly accepted by the first level court for €4 million (already collected by the joint venture after the court's ruling).

The joint venture has appealed to the Supreme Court against the Appeal Court's ruling and a hearing date is yet to be set.

  1. Rome Court - first set of claims for the Conca d'Oro - Jonio section

The second proceeding relates to the first set of claims for the Conca d'Oro - Jonio section. The initial stage has been deferred with the interim ruling of 2018 issued after the hearing for the conclusions. The judge accepted some claims made by the joint venture and ordered the court-appointed expert to recalculate the amounts due to the joint venture for just the claims rejected.

This ruling partly contradicted the findings of the first court-appointed expert which had confirmed the joint venture's claims for approximately €27.5 million.

Webuild challenged the interim ruling of January 2018, solely for the part that rejected some claims already examined by the court-appointed expert earlier, as did Roma Metropolitane.

The expert completed their appraisal in December 2018 and filed their additional report which included four possible amounts ranging from approximately €12 million to €23 million in favour of the joint venturers. Roma Metropolitane has requested the appraisal be reperformed by a new expert.

The Rome Court handed down its final ruling no. 6142/2020 of 15 April 2020 defining the second judgement on the extension of the B1 line and ordering Roma Metropolitane to pay the entire amount of €23.3 million, increased by the monetary revalution and interest since 31 August 2018, and the court costs and the courtappointed expert's cost.

Finally, with its ruling of 15 July 2020 on the partial ruling of January 2018, the Rome Appeal Court rejected Webuild's applications and partly accepted Rome Metropolitane's counter appeal, stating that two of the claims, accepted by the first level judge, were ungrounded.

Specifically, one of the two claims found to be ungrounded related to the irregular performance of the works which had been quantified by the court as part of the total compensation to be paid to the contractor for all the claims related to this issue (the irregular performance of the works), without specifying an individual amount for each claim. The appeal ruling reformulated the first level ruling finding the claim to be ungrounded but did not determine the amount of the related compensation. Therefore, it did not directly intervene with respect to the amount paid as per the first level ruling as compensation for the irregular performance of the works.

Webuild has appealed against the Rome Appeal Court's ruling before the Supreme Court and Roma Metropolitane has, in turn, presented its counter appeal.

The customer has also appealed against the Rome Court's ruling no. 6142/2020.

  1. Rome Court - second set of claims for the Conca d'Oro - Jonio section

The third proceeding refers to the second and last set of claims for the Conca d'Oro - Jonio section, was commenced in September 2016 and the court-appointed expert completed their work in November 2018 and filed their definitive report. The expert found that the joint venture's claims of approximately €3 million were admissible. The Rome Court ordered Roma Metropolitane and Roma Capitale to jointly pay the total amount of €2.9 million increased by the accrued legal interest in its ruling no. 5861/2020 of 7 April 2020. Webuild appealed against the ruling on 18 September 2020 requesting that its claims be accepted and concurrently commenced the executive measures for collection of the amount due by Roma Capital as per the first level court ruling.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that joint venture's arguments will be accepted.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities.

Considering the uncertainties linked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

ENI headquarters

On 24 October 2022, Webuild Italia S.p.A., contractor for Eni's new headquarters in the San Donato Milanese municipality, filed an application for arbitration in its name and as lead contractor of the joint venture with Lamaro Appalti S.p.A.. It intends to terminate the contract with the customer DeA Capital due to the latter's serious breach of the contract terms and the supervening onerousness. Therefore, Webuild Italia's application asks for the defendant to be ordered to pay approximately €465 million, of which approximately €340 million as the market value of the asset built and approximately €125 million as compensation for damage.

On 14 November 2022, DeA Capital filed its response, challenging the admissibility and grounds of the claims made by the consortium and presenting its counterclaims for approximately €61.9 million.

The arbitration proceedings are at an initial stage.

Colombia - Yuma and Ariguani

Yuma Concesionaria S.A. (in which the Group has a 48.3% investment) ("Yuma") holds the concession for the construction and operation of sector 3 of the Ruta del Sol motorway in Colombia.

The construction works were delivered to the EPC contractor Constructora Ariguani S.A.S. en Reorganización ("Ariguani"), wholly owned by the parent, on 22 December 2011.

In November 2017, the customer ANI commenced administrative procedures against Yuma to have the contract terminated.

Yuma deems that the contract was significantly affected by a series of unexpected events outside its control which led to a significant imbalance in the contract that the customer is obliged to rectify.

After more than a year of negotiations, on 20 February 2020, the parties signed a rider to the concession agreement that provided for, inter alia, the interruption of the procedure commenced by ANI for the alleged serious breaches of the concession contract by Yuma and extended the contract term to complete the project by 56 months while not changing the concession term.

The addendum partially settled some claims made as part of the arbitration proceedings in place for the contract variations covered by the national arbitration at the Bogotà Chamber of Commerce and the claims before the International Chamber of Commerce as part of the international arbitration.

Webuild concurrently withdrew its application for arbitration to the International Chamber of Commerce, presented in November 2017. As a result and with the acceptance by ANI, this international arbitration proceeding has been discontinued and the only international arbitration still in place is that before the International Chamber of Commerce commenced by Yuma.

At the same time, two other addenda to the EPC contract were signed by Yuma and the EPC contractor Ariguani, covering the new financial terms and timeline agreed by them.

On 8 May 2020, the arbitration tribunal with the Bogotà Chamber of Commerce issued an award in Yuma's favour for six variations as part of the proceedings for the definition of 14 variations to the original contract. The tribunal

has not defined the amounts to be paid by ANI to Yuma but ordered the parties to come to an agreement based on the calculation method established by the arbitrators. On 13 October 2020, the parties signed an agreement providing that the amount due to Yuma is COP247,514.9 million (around €52 million).

Due to the dispute and the difficulties encountered during the project, in 2018, both Yuma and Ariguani commenced their reorganisation ("Reorganización") pursuant to the local laws (Law no. 1116 of 2006) and this process is still ongoing.

As established by the additional three addenda (nos 10, 11 and 12) to the concession contract, on 4 June 2021, the loan agreement signed by the Italian banks (i) Banca Intesa Sanpaolo and (ii) Banca Popolare di Sondrio and Webuild S.p.A. was presented to ANI. This €100 million loan has been taken out to fund and complete the works. On 18 June 2021, Webuild and Yuma Concesionaria signed the related loan agreement. At 31 December 2022, the parent had lent Yuma Concesionaria €178.8 million.

Project S8 (Poland)

The Group has a 95% interest in a joint venture in Poland set up in November 2014 for the design and construction of roads.

Although the main road section was opened to traffic on 22 December 2017, in May 2018, the customer informed the joint venture that the contract was considered to be terminated due to the latter's alleged breach of contract and concurrently requested payment of fines of €4.1 million.

On 22 May and 7 June 2018, the joint venture informed the customer that it considered termination of the contract to be invalid and legally ineffective and also asked for payment of the outstanding amount of €1.7 million and the contractually provided-for fines. Finally, it noted that the contract terminated due to the customer's default. The customer has attempted to enforce the performance bonds of approximately €8 million, which the joint venture had provided. The joint venture obtained a court order from the Parma Court preventing this on a precautionary basis.

On 31 October 2019, the Group filed a claim form with the Warsaw first level court for the recovery of the costs not paid before termination of the contract, claims and compensation for the irregular termination. In February 2020, the customer filed a counterclaim for approximately €2.9 million as contractual fines due to the termination of the contract for reasons allegedly attributable to the joint venture.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Project A1F (Poland)

The Group has a 100% interest in a joint venture in Poland set up in October 2015 for the design and construction of roads.

On 29 April 2019, the customer informed the joint venture that the contract was considered to be terminated due to the latter's alleged breach of contract and concurrently requested payment of fines of roughly €18 million.

On 6 May 2019, the joint venture informed the customer that it considered termination of the contract to be invalid and legally ineffective. On 14 May 2019, it notified that the contract terminated for reasons attributable to the customer as a result of reported defaults that were not remedied by the customer.

The customer obtained enforcement of the performance bonds, retentions and fines of approximately €37 million, which the joint venture had provided.

The joint venture has commenced proceedings against the customer before the Warsaw Court to receive payment for the works performed and claims of approximately €54 million.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Project S3 (Poland)

The Group has a 99.99% interest in a joint venture in Poland set up in December 2014 for the design and construction of roads.

On 29 April 2019, the customer informed the joint venture that the contract was considered to be terminated due to the latter's alleged breach of contract and concurrently requested payment of fines of roughly €25 million.

The customer attempted to enforce the performance bonds of approximately €13 million, which the joint venture had provided. After the filing of an appeal against this enforcement, Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) provided for payment.

On 6 May 2019, the joint venture informed the customer that it considered termination of the contract to be invalid and legally ineffective. On 14 May 2019, it noted that the contract terminated for reasons attributable to the customer as a result of reported defaults that were not remedied by the customer.

On 31 October 2019, the Group filed a claim form with the Warsaw first level court for the return of the amounts related to the undue enforcement of the performance bonds and payment of the fines due to termination. The customer's rejoinder and replication was received on 8 January 2021 and it includes a counterclaim for around €11 million for delays, payments made by it to subcontractors, costs for work site maintenance, costs to reorganise traffic and interest. In April 2021, the judge excluded the customer's counterclaim from the proceedings for its examination in a separate proceeding.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Project S7 Kielce (Poland)

The Group has a 99.99% interest in a joint venture in Poland set up in November 2014 for the design and construction of roads.

The customer has enforced approximately €15 million of Webuild's bank guarantees.

The Group reached an out-of-court agreement about the enforcement of the guarantees with the customer in December 2022, obtaining the return of PLN45 million (approximately €9.6 million). It still has a pending dispute with the customer GDDKiA for price revisions and additional costs incurred for the project of PLN79.5 million (approximately €16.8 million).

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Project S7 Wydoma (Poland)

Webuild was awarded this contract in October 2017.

On 7 December 2020, the customer informed the Group that the contract was considered to be terminated due to the latter's alleged breach of contract.

On 16 December 2020, Webuild informed the customer that it considered termination of the contract to be invalid and legally ineffective. It requested payment of the contractual fine of approximately €35 million (not yet received) and the return of the performance bond. It also noted that the contract terminated for reasons attributable to the customer.

On 21 December 2020, Webuild filed an update of its first claim form (filed on 4 November 2020) with the Warsaw first level court. It asked that the judge find the contract to be terminated unjustly and that it be due the additional consideration of approximately €55 million, subsequently revised to roughly €84.5 million.

GDDKiA enforced the advance and performance bonds for a total of approximately €25 million, which amount will shortly be included in Webuild's claims as part of the dispute before the Polish courts.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the Group has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Copenhagen Cityringen

As a result of critical issues about this project related to its specific features and the significance of the works, the Group had to significantly revise the cost estimates for the early stages of this project. They mainly related to the construction of the concrete works, the electromechanical works and the architectural finishings.

The negotiations with the customer, assisted by their consultants and technical/legal advisors, led to the signing of an interim agreement on 30 December 2016 (which allowed the Group to collect €145 million) and other agreements which enabled it to collect additional amounts (for a total of €260 million). This settled some claims with the outstanding claims referred to the pending arbitration proceeding before the Building and Construction Arbitration Board.

On 12 July 2019, the Group delivered the project and the metro was officially opened to the public on 29 September 2019.

In 2020, a year after the handover, when the performance bonds were to be reduced from 3% to 1%, the customer presented counterclaims for approximately €43 million blocking this reduction. The Group deems that these counterclaims are completely groundless and lacking the minimum requirements to be considered as such, by virtue of their failure to provide even the most basic information, such as a description of the events, timing, place of the facts, the cause effect link, contractual justification and support for quantification. On the basis of the above, Copenhagen Metro Team I/S ("CMT") entirely rejected the counterclaims, judging them without any foundation.

On 26 April 2021, the Group presented the Building and Construction Arbitration Board with its Supplementary Statement of Claim. Therefore, at that date, all its claims (€804 million) had been formally filed for arbitration. The arbitration tribunal has not yet been constituted.

On 17 September 2021, CMT presented a new separate application for arbitration to the Building and Construction Arbitration Board asking for a reduction in the performance bonds from €52.1 million to €17.3 million. The proceeding is at an initial stage.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the Group has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed

highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

North West Rail Link (Australia)

This project included the design and build of a 36 km metro line north west of Sydney, of which 4.6 km as a viaduct (the Skytrain bridge). The metro opened in May 2019.

The Group participated in the project through a joint venture of Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) and Salini Impregilo Pty Ltd.

After the joint venture presented claims, the DAB issued a decision acknowledging its right to AUD34.5 million (roughly €21.4 million) on 9 December 2019.

The contract with Sydney Metro provides for resort to the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration should one or both of the parties be unsatisfied with the DAB's decision.

In fact, on 31 January 2020, both the joint venture and the customer presented the DAB with a notice of dissatisfaction.

The joint venture subsequently applied for arbitration to the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration on 20 July 2021. The arbitration tribunal has been constituted and the hearing is underway.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that the joint venture's arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

Considering the uncertainties linked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

Al Bayt Stadium (Qatar)

On 25 October 2019, the joint venture comprising Leonardo S.p.A. and PSC S.p.A. ("Leonardo/PSC JV") commenced an arbitration proceeding before the International Chamber of Commerce against the joint venture consisting of Galfar Al Misnad Engineering and Contracting, Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) and Cimolai S.p.A. ("GSIC JV" in which the Group has a 40% interest) with respect to the contract to build the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

As subcontrator of the contract to supply mechanical and electrical works, the Leonardo/PSC joint venture claimed damages for delays, the acceptance of variations and other compensation from the contractor GSIC JV for QAR1,289 million (approximately €300 million). As part of the same arbitration proceedings, GSIC JV presented its counterclaim, which includes, inter alia, acknowledgement of the costs incurred on the subcontractor's behalf and compensation for the higher costs incurred due to the latter's delays and negligence.

In turn, GSIC JV has claimed damages of not less than QAR715 million (approximately €173 million).

After the arbitration hearings in the second half of 2022, the final briefs are being exchanged.

With respect to the arbitration proceedings commenced by the Leonardo/PSC JV, supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that GSIC JV's arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

During preparation of the contract budget and the consolidated financial statements, Webuild considered the above costs and compensation for the subcontractor's delays and negligence to the extent it deems it is highly probable that GSIC JV's counterclaim will be successful, also based on the opinion of the Group's legal advisors.

Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities.

It cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Saudi Arabia

With respect to the contract to build Line 3 of the Riyadh Metro, on 25 January 2021, the Arab company United Code Contracting Corporation commenced an ICC arbitration proceeding against the joint venture comprising Webuild, Larsen & Toubro, Salini Saudi Arabia and Nesma.

As subcontractor for the works supply contract, United Code Contracting Corporation has claimed damages of USD162.5 million from the joint venture for the undue termination of the subcontracting contract, non-payment of interim payment certificates, failure to pay the final bill and the undue allocation of works to third parties.

The Webuild/Larsen & Toubro/Salini Saudi Arabia/Nesma joint venture has claimed an initial amount of USD114.5 million from United Code Contracting Corporation as fines, undue payments, unclaimed payments and compensation for damages as well as the claims previously agreed by the parties in a contract addendum but no longer accepted by the customer and the additional costs to recover the above amounts.

The Group has a 59.14% interest in the joint venture. The arbitration tribunal was set up in September 2021 and the exchange of the defence briefs and rejoinders is underway.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that the joint venture's arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

Considering the uncertainties linked to the dispute stage, the Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

Tajikistan

With respect to the contract to build the Rogun Dam, Webuild commenced arbitration proceedings in the period between January to July 2021 under the aegis of the International Chamber of Commerce of Paris against OJSC Rogun and the Tajikistani state. It has presented monetary claims and requested an extension of the contract deadline.

The amounts involved in the main proceedings are USD6.2 million, USD7.0 million, USD0.5 million and USD16.5 million, respectively.

On 30 July 2022, addendum no. 1 to the contract was agreed, providing for an increase in the contract consideration and the postponement of some milestones. In turn, Webuild has waived its claims, including those presented in the arbitration proceedings. The parties thus jointly agreed not to continue such proceedings.

Slovakia

On 6 March 2019, the joint venture comprising Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) and the Slovakian company Duha and the customer signed an agreement to terminate the contract for the design and construction of a major motorway section. This agreement provides for the recognition of the works awaiting certification and also establishes that:

  • the customer will certify most of the works performed and awaiting approval for bureaucratic reasons in the short term;
  • a dispute adjudication board (DAB) will be appointed, consisting of international members rather than the Slovakian members provided for in the original contract, to decide on the additional consideration requested by the joint venture;
  • should the DAB's ruling not be agreeable to the parties, they may apply to an international arbitration tribunal (ICC Vienna) rather than a Slovakian tribunal as provided for in the original contract.

After the joint venture's presentation of its many claims, on 18 November 2019, the DAB issued its first decision on the unexpected geological events and excavations of the tunnel, finding that the joint venture was due approximately €8 million. In December 2019, both the joint venture and the customer sent the DAB a notice of dissatisfaction. As the parties were unable to come to an agreement, Webuild applied to ICC for arbitration on 14 February 2021.

On 18 June 2021, the DAB issued its second decision on the greater costs related to the extension of the contract timeline and fines (milestones 2 and 3), finding that the joint venture was due around €7 million.

The joint venture filed its second application for arbitration with ICC on 28 June 2021. The parties agreed to join the two arbitration proceedings and the arbitration tribunal has been constituted. The proceeding is at an initial stage.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and the joint venture has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors.

The Group cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Autopistas del Sol S.A. (Ausol)

In September 2022, the customer Dirección Nacional de Vialidad (DNV) filed an application with the local courts to cancel decree no. 607/2018 and the renegotiation agreement with the operator Autopistas del Sol S.A. (Ausol), in which Webuild has a 19.8% stake.

The renegotiation agreement provided that Ausol would receive USD499 million for its investment in the project, which it would not have recovered as DNV had never approved the necessary revisions to the motorway tolls. In addition, the parties agreed to end the local and international disputes related to the grantor's contractual default.

Accordingly, Ausol appeared before the court. Concurrently in October 2022, Ausol filed an urgent arbitration application with ICC, which accepted it and handed down an order blocking any further actions by DNV. Ausol also commenced arbitration proceedings before ICC to (i) have it pronounced that the only venue competent to rule on the dispute is an ICC arbitration tribunal, (ii) have the renegotiation agreement signed by DNV and Ausol found to be valid, and (iii) request reimbursement of the fees that DNV prevented the operator from collecting in previous years.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, Ausol is confident that its arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

Administrative litigation

This section describes the main administrative proceedings involving the group companies.

USW Campania projects

The special commissioner tasked by the Regional Administrative Court to collect receivables of the former operators of the waste disposal service performed until 15 December 2005 submitted their final report in November 2014, in which they stated that the competent public administration had already collected directly €46.4 million of the fee due to Fibe for its services rendered until 15 December 2005 (when the contracts were terminated ope legis), without forwarding it to Fibe, and that total outstanding receivables totalled €74.3 million.

In its ruling no. 7323/2016, the Regional Administrative Court decided that the special commissioner should pay the amounts claimed by Fibe only after the assessment is completed and, hence, including amounts already

collected by the administration. Fibe challenged this ruling with the Council of State which rejected it with its ruling no. 1759/2018. A petition for the conclusion of the proceedings was then filed. After the resignation of the special commissioner, the Regional Administrative Court appointed a new commissioner on 16 April 2018. As this commissioner did not accept the position, on 10 January 2019, another commissioner was appointed that filed a report on 13 January 2020 confirming the findings reported by the previous commissioner in November 2014. Due to the interim payments made which reduced the total amounts due, the commissioner calculated the amounts outstanding as fees to be €54.8 million and deferred the definitive calculation of the amounts of €3.1 million in addition to that already ascertained and the total amount of interest and fines due to Fibe to a second stage. On 29 January 2021, the commissioner filed another report setting out the definitive calculation of the amounts due to be €57.3 million and the interest and fines due to Fibe as €62.7 million. The Regional Administrative Court ruled on 4 March 2021 that the mandate given to the special commissioner had ended and confirmed the amounts ascertained by them.

In 2009, Fibe filed a complaint with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court about the slackness of the competent authorities in completing the administrative procedures for the recording and recognition of the costs incurred by the former service contractors for activities carried out pursuant to law and the work ordered by the administration and performed by the companies during the years from 2006 to 2008 (i.e., after the contracts had been terminated).

As part of the aforementioned ruling, the Regional Administrative Court appointed an inspector who, on 21 December 2017, submitted a final report finding that, in short, the amounts stated by Fibe in its appeal and the supporting documentation were substantially consistent. The company requested a more in-depth review of certain items and the correction of some errors. The Regional Administrative Court ordered an additional inspection. On 28 September 2018, the inspector filed their final report, which addressed the requests made by Fibe for a more in-depth review and corrections. The Lazio Regional Administrative Court with its ruling of 21 March 2019 ordered the Office of the Prime Minister to pay €53 million, including VAT and interest, as the fee for services carried out after the contracts were terminated. The Office of the Prime Minister challenged this ruling before the Council of State. In its ruling no. 974 of 7 February 2020, the Council of State identified a logical legal error in the Regional Administrative Court's ruling where it ordered the Office of the Prime Minister to pay the amounts requested and documented by Fibe (private part) not yet checked by it. The Council of State amended in part the first level ruling finding that Fibe is due the smaller amount of €21 million, increased by legal interest (instead of the amount of €53 million ordered by the Regional Administrative Court). It ordered the administration to check the difference between the amount due to Fibe and that established by the Regional Administrative Court.

In May 2020, Fibe filed: (i) an appeal before the Supreme Court for excessive jurisdictional power, (ii) an appeal before the Council of State for revision due to inconsistent rulings and the error of fact made by the Appeal Judge. The Council of State accepted the appeal for revision and recognised Fibe's subjective right to the amounts due to it with its ruling no. 1674/21 of 26 February 2021. Nevertheless, it referred the completion of the checks to the Office of the Prime Minister, setting a deadline of 180 days. Fibe appealed against this ruling before the Supreme Court challenging the backwardness of the jurisdictional function as per article 362 of the Code of Civil Procedure (appeal no. 20137/2021). Appeal no. 13875/2020 against the Council of State's ruling no. 974/2020, partly overturned by the Council of State's subsequent ruling no. 1674/2021, was joined with this appeal.

The Supreme Court handed down a joint ruling filed on 4 February 2022 rejecting both appeals and confirming the Council of State's ruling no. 1674/21 on the revision and related obligation of the public administration to complete the procedure and, should it fail to do so, to appoint a special commissioner (the state general accounting office) to do so. The Office of the Prime Minister had stated that it was unable to carry out the investigation due to the lack of available data and short period of time allowed and referred to the special commissioner to check and confirm the reported amounts. The state general accounting office requested and obtained a further deadline (until December 2023) to express its opinion.

The Rome Court assigned Fibe the total amount of approximately €71 million with a deadline of 20 days for Bank of Italy to pay the amount starting from the date of notification of the ruling handed down on 20 June 2022 as part of the enforcement procedure commenced by Fibe for receipt of the amounts recognised by the Council of State's ruling no. 974/2020 and those due under the civil proceedings described in point 2 of the previous section on civil litigation. The ruling was notified on 22 June 2022 and Fibe collected the amount on 20 July 2022.

With ruling no. 3886/2011, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court upheld Fibe's appeal and ordered the administration to pay the undepreciated costs at the termination date for the RDF plants to Fibe, for a total amount of €205 million, plus legal and default interest from 15 December 2005 until settlement.

Following the enforcement order filed by Fibe and opposed by the Office of the Prime Minister, Fibe obtained the allocation of €241 million (collected in previous years) as a final payment for the receivables for principal and legal interest and suspended the enforcement procedure for the further amount of default interest claimed. Both parties initiated proceedings about the merits of the case. The judge rejected the request for default interest submitted by Fibe in the ruling of 12 February 2016, which Fibe challenged.

The proceedings already finalised by the ordinary Naples Court were reinstated by the Campania Regional Administrative Court upon the application of the administration. They related to the payment of approximately €20 million due as per the conformity deed signed by Fibe on 25 February 2005 and the return of approximately €31 million collected by Fibe as the contribution for environmental restoration and withheld by it as a reduction in the waste disposal fee due to it that the special commissioner should have collected on its behalf.

As part of the USW Campania projects, the Group was notified of a large number of administrative measures regarding reclamation and the implementation of safety measures at some of the landfills, storage areas and RDF plants. For the proceedings regarding the characterisation and emergency safety measures at the Pontericcio site, the RDF plant in Giugliano and the temporary storage area at Cava Giuliani, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court rejected the appeals filed by Fibe with ruling no. 6033/2012. An appeal against this ruling, based on contamination found at a site different to those subject of the proceedings, was filed with the Council of State. It denied Fibe's precautionary motion to stay the enforcement of the decision. The Council of State subsequently accepted Fibe's appeal in its ruling no. 5076/2018, reversing the first level ruling and cancelling the measures challenged by Fibe. With respect to the Cava Giuliani landfill, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, with ruling no. 5831/2012, found that it lacked jurisdiction in favour of the Superior Court of Public Waters, before which the appeal was summed up and this court rejected the appeal with its ruling no. 119/2020 filed on 28 December 2020. Fibe has appealed this ruling. Before the judges' rulings, Fibe had completed the characterisation operations for the above sites, but this does not constitute any admission of liability whatsoever.

S.a.Bro.M. S.p.A.

S.a.Bro.M. S.p.A. ("Sabrom") is the operator for the design, construction and operation of the new regional Broni - Mortara motorway under the terms of the concession contract signed with the customer Infrastrutture Lombarde S.p.A. ("ILSpA") on 16 September 2010.

In July 2016, the Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea Protection ("MATTM") issued a measure containing a negative opinion on the project's environmental compatibility.

Sabrom asked the customer to protect the project by appealing against the Ministry's measure and also communicated its willingness to work with the customer to modify the designs so that the project could be reassessed by the Ministry and other competent bodies.

As requested by Sabrom, the customer appealed against the Ministry's measure before the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court which rejected the appeal with its ruling published on 30 July 2018.

On 14 February 2019, ILSpA filed an appeal with the Council of State and the date of the hearing has not yet been set.

Supported by its legal advisors, Webuild deems the risk of an unfavourable ruling is remote and that the assets

recognised under intangible assets at 31 December 2022 are recoverable.

It cannot exclude that events may take place in the future that cannot currently be foreseen and that could make it necessary to change its valuations.

Criminal litigation

This section describes the main criminal proceedings involving the group companies.

USW Campania projects

In 2008, as part of an investigation into waste disposal in the Campania region carried out after the ope legis termination of the relevant contracts (on 15 December 2005), the Preliminary Investigations Judge, upon a request by the public prosecutor, issued personal preventive seizure measures against some managers and employees of Fibe, Fibe Campania (subsequently merged into Fibe) and Fisia Ambiente and managers of the commissioner's office. As part of this investigation, the former service providers and Fisia Ambiente are also charged with the administrative liability attributable to companies pursuant to Legislative decree no. 231/2001 without claims for compensation being made against these companies.

In the hearing of 21 March 2013, the Preliminary Hearing Judge ordered that all the defendants and companies involved pursuant to Legislative decree no. 231/2001 be committed for trial for all charges, transferring the proceedings to the Rome Court as a result of an acting judge being listed by the Naples public prosecutor as under investigation.

On 16 June 2016, the Rome Court accepted the public prosecutor's request and found all the individuals involved in the proceedings not guilty. The hearing will continue for the companies involved and the public prosecutor is currently examining the motions.

The group companies involved in the proceedings are confident that their conduct was completely lawful and deem that the risk of civil and administrative liability is remote.

COVIV Consortium

On 26 October 2016, some managers and employees of COCIV were arrested as were other persons (including the chairman of Reggio Calabria - Scilla S.C.p.A., who promptly resigned) with warrants issued on 7 October 2016 by the Genoa Preliminary Investigations Judge and 10 October 2016 by the Rome Preliminary Investigations Judge. The above two legal entities were informed that the Genoa and Rome public prosecutors are investigating alleged obstruction of public tender procedures, corruption and, in some cases, criminal organisation.

Specifically, the public prosecutor dismissed the original charges against COCIV (article 25 of Legislative decree no. 231/2001) while it applied for and obtained trial for around 35 people, including Webuild's chief executive officer and several senior managers and employees of COCIV, accused of 13 counts of bid rigging and corruption.

On 30 September 2022, the Genoa Court found Webuild's chief executive officer and COCIV's chairperson not guilty of any of the crimes alleged by the public prosecutor. The other managers and employees were also found not guilty except for one case of bid rigging (which was actually a market survey, the so-called "Vecchie Fornaci") involving two employees and a former manager. The deadlines for filing the reasons for the sentence, which in this last respect will be contested, expire at the end of March.

The proceedings commenced by the Rome public prosecutor cover alleged active corruption of the works manager by senior management of the contractors (namely COCIV, Reggio Calabria - Scilla S.C.p.A. and Salerno-Reggio Calabria S.C.p.A.) to encourage the works manager (also under investigation) to carry out acts contrary to their official duties, as well as the alleged administrative liability of COCIV and Reggio Calabria - Scilla S.C.p.A. for the administrative offence as per articles 5 and 25 of Legislative decree no. 231/2001.

The proceedings are still at an initial phase as all the judges assigned to hear them over the past five year have declared their lack of territorial jurisdiction and referred the case to other courts (Rome, Bolzano and now

Alessandria).

On 25 November 2022, the Supreme Court charged with resolving the negative conflict of jurisdiction by the Judge for Preliminary Hearing at the Alessandria Court, definitively confirmed the jurisdiction of the Bolzano Court, to whose public prosecutor's office the documents were therefore sent.

Rome Court investigations (notice of completion of the preliminary investigations)

Webuild has been informed by the legal advisors of a group manager of proceedings commenced by the Rome public prosecutor about a fatal accident at the Gibe III Ethiopian work site in 2013. On 11 February 2022, the notice of completion of the preliminary investigations as per article 415-bis of the Italian Criminal Code was notified. The public prosecutor alleged the group manager's responsibility for manslaughter as per Legislative decree no. 231/2001 for violation of the rules on safety in the workplace as the employee who had a fatal accident had not been provided with the required training and did not receive medical assistance in time.

With respect to the charges made against Webuild, it has already requested and obtained the filing order as the alleged administrative offence has been time-barred for years.

Ministry of the Environment / Autostrade per l'Italia S.p.A. - Todini Costruzioni Generali (now HCE Costruzioni + others)

In June 2011, upon conclusion of the investigations commenced in 2005, the Florence public prosecutor charged the CEOs and former employees of Todini C.G. S.p.A. with environmental crimes with respect to the management of excavated soil and rocks, water regulation, waste management and damage to environment assets as part of the Tuscan lots of the "Valico variation".

The Ministry of the Environment joined the criminal proceedings as a civil party, suing Autostrade per l'Italia S.p.A., Todini C.G. S.p.A., Impresa S.p.A. and Toto S.p.A. for their civil liability and quantifying the alleged environmental damage to be compensated as "not less than €810,000,000.00 or any amount that may be established during the proceedings and/or established in an equitable manner". As evidence of the damage, the Ministry presented a preliminary report prepared by I.S.P.R.A. (a body which is part of the Ministry).

The judge held that the I.S.P.R.A. report was not a document that could be used in the proceedings as it had not been prepared inter partes and, moreover, did not include the name of the individual that had physically prepared it. At the date of preparation of this report, the claim for compensation is not supported by proof about its size.

On 30 October 2017, the Florence Court found all the defendants not guilty and the public prosecutor appealed the ruling on 20 June 2019. The Supreme Court accepted the public prosecutor's appeal on 19 January 2021 and overturned the Florence Court's ruling, remitting continuation of the case to the Appeal Court. The appeal hearing started in July 2022 and while the Ministry joined the procedures, it did not make any requests for a preliminary examination about determination of the damage allegedly suffered.

For completeness purposes, as a result of the claim for compensation presented by the Ministry of the Environment, the Group had commissioned a report on the possible effect of the criminal proceeding on the consolidated financial statements. The opinion was that the Ministry's joining the proceedings as a civil party did not require any provision to be made in the separate or consolidated financial statements or the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Group is confident that the claim for compensation will not be accepted.

Other situations characterised by risk and/or uncertainty profiles

Società Italiana per Condotte d'Acqua S.p.A. under extraordinary administration

Società Italiana per Condotte d'Acqua S.p.A. under extraordinary administration ("Condotte"), which has investments in group companies, filed a petition as per article 161.6 of the Bankruptcy Law after which, on 17 July 2018, it applied for immediate application of the extraordinary administration procedure pursuant to article 2 of Decree law no. 347/2003 to the Ministry of Economic Development.

The Ministry issued its decree on 6 August 2018 authorising Condotte to enter extraordinary administration as per Decree law no. 347/2003 converted by Law no. 39 of 18 February 2004 (the "Marzano Law").

The Rome Court declared Condotte insolvent in its ruling of 14 August 2018.

On 22 October 2018, the special commissioners invited Condotte's creditors to file their claims for inclusion in the insolvency proceedings for their receivables originated up to 6 August 2018 (the date on which it entered extraordinary administration) before 12 December 2018.

The following consortia or consortium companies, in which the Group has investments, filed their claims by the due date:

  • Consorzio Alta Velocità Torino Milano (CAVTOMI);
  • Consorzio Collegamenti Integrati Veloci (COCIV);
  • Lybian Expressway Contractors;
  • Eurolink S.C.p.A.;
  • Reggio Calabria Scilla S.C.p.A.;
  • Salerno Reggio Calabria S.C.p.A.;
  • Consorzio Iricav Due.

Their claims were based on the following:

  • a) offsetting their receivables from Condotte that were due before 6 August 2018 against their payables due to Condotte which were also due before 6 August 2018;
  • b) filing of the outstanding balances after the offsetting in the insolvency proceeding:
    • as a pre-preferential claim as provided for by article 51.3 of Law no. 270/1999 (the "Prodi Law") and article 74 of the Bankruptcy Law;
    • alternatively and subject to appeal, as a preferential claim in accordance with article 2761.2 of the Italian Civil Code for the principal and article 2758 of the Italian Civil Code for the VAT collected at source;
    • as an unsecured claim as a further alternative and subject to appeal.

On 14 February 2019, Condotte's special commissioners filed the claims with the court office.

On 22 February 2019, the consortia/consortium companies filed their comments on the claims for the purposes of the related hearing.

During 2019 and 2020, the hearings about the claims took place at the Rome Court. The judge confirmed the acceptance of the claims of Eurolink S.C.p.A., Lybian Expressway Contractors, Salerno Reggio Calabria S.C.p.A. and Reggio Calabria Scilla S.C.p.A. as unsecured claims, as well as the interest calculated in the comments, on 11 June 2020.

CAVTOMI's claims were not accepted as they were offset by its payables. The consortium's legal counsel noted that the commissioners had not provided proof of the existence of these payables and requested they be given additional time to better analyse the accounting documentation presented in court. The judge has not accepted

the request given the need to finalise the claims during the hearing and given that appeals can be made by challenging the accepted claims.

As COCIV and Iricav Due Consortium had entered into agreements with Condotte's special commissioners in the meantime, with the result that they transferred their interests, rights and obligations, and amounts due to and from Condotte to Webuild, they waived their right to have their claims included in the insolvency proceedings.

Lybian Expressway Contractors, Eurolink S.C.p.a., Reggio Calabria Scilla S.C.p.A. and Salerno Reggio Calabria S.C.p.A. have challenged the accepted claims before the Rome Court, asking that their requests be accepted and, specifically, that the pre-preferential nature of the accepted claims be acknowledged (including conditional upon Condotte's taking over of the consortium's relationships) and the amounts due as interest.

On 10 November 2021, the Rome Court rejected the appeal challenging the accepted claims presented by Reggio Calabria Scilla S.C.p.A. in liquidation against Società Italiana per Condotte d'Acque S.p.A. under extraordinary administration.

The Rome Court subsequently accepted the appeal filed by Salerno Reggio Calabria S.C.p.A. in liquidation ("SARC") challenging the accepted claims in its ruling of 25 May 2022. It found that the consortium company's claim of €22.8 million from Condotte can be considered to be pre-preferential conditional upon the commissioners taking over the consortium's relationships. The Court also accepted another appeal made by SARC for interest of €9.9 million accrued on the claim in the same ruling. The competent judge had excluded the inclusion of interest in the claims while the Court accepted it and found it to also be pre-preferential. As a result, SARC has a conditional pre-preferential claim of approximately €32.7 million.

The group companies in which Condotte has investments are carefully monitoring developments in the situation.

Supported by its legal advisors, Webuild is confident that the receivables and payables will be offset and that the receivables should be recovered (net of offsetting) by the SPEs in which Condotte had an investment.

Astaris (formerly Astaldi)

Composition with creditors on a going concern basis as per article 186-bis of the Bankruptcy Law and partial proportionate demerger of the core assets scope

On 28 September 2018, Astaldi S.p.A. ("Astaldi" or "Astaris") filed its application (no. 63/2018) with the bankruptcy section of the Rome Court for its composition with creditors on a going concern basis procedure as per article 161 and following articles of the Bankruptcy Law (the "procedure").

On 19 June 2019, Astaldi filed the definitive composition with creditors plan (the "plan") together with the proposal and additional documentation requested (subsequently updated on 16 July 2019, 20 July 2019 and 2 August 2020 - the "composition with creditors proposal").

The plan is underpinned, inter alia, by the offer for financial and industrial assistance made by Webuild on 13 February 2019, subsequently integrated and confirmed on 15 July 2019 (the "Webuild offer"). On 5 November 2020, after subscribing the capital increase reserved to it, Webuild became Astaldi's controlling shareholder and had an investment therein of 66.10% at 30 June 2021.

The Rome Court authorised the composition with creditors procedure with immediate and definitive effect with its ruling no. 2900/2020 published on 17 July 2020 (no. 26945/2020) and authorised its full execution with its ruling of 28 July 2021. Astaldi changed its name to Astaris S.p.A. with the deed of 30 May 2022.

Partial proportionate demerger of the core assets scope

On 29 and 30 April 2021, respectively, extraordinary meetings of the shareholders of Webuild and Astaldi were held to approve the proposed partial proportionate demerger of Astaldi to Webuild, after which Astaldi's core

assets scope will be definitively separated, including legally, from the separate unit set up by it on 24 May 2020 as part of its composition with creditors procedure.

On 1 August 2021, the partial proportionate demerger became effective and Webuild took over all the assets and legal relationships of Astaldi's core assets, without prejudice to the effects of the composition with creditors procedure and excluding those transferred to the separate unit set up by Astaldi pursuant to article 2447-bis and following articles of the Italian Civil Code as part of its composition with creditors proposal authorised by the Rome Court and to be used solely to satisfy its unsecured creditors. As a result, Webuild received Astaldi's liabilities related to the core assets scope after Astaldi discharged its debts resulting from the composition with creditors procedure. This implies that it did not receive, inter alia, liabilities for claims to be considered as unsecured pursuant to the authorised composition with creditors proposal related to Astaldi's transactions, settled or not before 1 August 2021, even when they were acknowledged in the proceedings or out-of-court after that date. Webuild is solely obliged to issue shares for such claims in accordance with that set out in the demerger proposal.

On 1 August 2021, but effective before the demerger, the transfer of the business unit including Astaldi's Italian operations to a wholly-owned newco, Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A., took place.

As a result of the demerger, Webuild has obtained control of 100% of Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A., owned by Astaldi S.p.A., with effect from 1 August 2021.

NBI S.p.A. - Separate composition with creditors procedure

On 5 November 2018, NBI S.p.A. ("NBI"), wholly-owned by the Group, submitted an application for a separate composition with creditors on a going concern basis procedure to the Rome Court as per article 161.6 of the Bankruptcy Law. On 9 October 2020, the Rome Court published its ruling authorising NBI's composition with creditors procedure. This ruling, handed down without opposition as per article 180.3 of the Bankruptcy Law, cannot be appealed and is, therefore, res judicata with immediate effect. NBI's composition with creditors procedure entails the settlement of all the pre-preferential and preferential claims in full and payment of 10.1% of the unsecured claims in cash over the plan period as well as payment of the unsecured claims using the proceeds from the sale of some non-core assets. The court has entrusted the performance of the composition with creditors procedure to NBI while the judicial commissioners will oversee its proper execution. The court appointed a receiver to sell the non-core assets in line with the information provided in NBI's composition with creditors proposal and assigned them the duty of satisfying the creditors. The court's authorisation implies that NBI is again a going concern.

Afragola FS S.C. a r.l. - Separate composition with creditors procedure

On 3 June 2019, Afragola FS S.C. a r.l. ("Afragola", wholly-owned by the Group) submitted an application for a separate composition with creditors procedure to the Rome Court as per article 161.6 of the Bankruptcy Law. The Rome Court authorised Afragola's application for the composition with creditors procedure with its ruling of 4 October 2020 filed on 5 November 2020. On 10 March 2021, the creditors' meeting was held and the company's proposal was approved by the majority of the creditors with voting rights pursuant to article 178.4 of the Bankruptcy Law in the following 20 days. The court set the date for the hearing to authorise the composition with creditors procedure as 15 December 2021. On 25 March 2022, the related authorisation was filed.

Partenopea Finanza di Progetto S.C.p.A. - Separate composition with creditors procedure

Partenopea Finanza di Progetto S.C.p.A. ("PFP", 99% controlled by the Group) received a winding up petition before the Naples Court on 6 February 2019. As it did not have sufficient funds to cover its debts (its main asset is a financial asset with Astaldi that cannot be collected given Astaldi's composition with creditors procedure), it in turn filed an appeal pursuant to article 161.6 of the Bankruptcy Law with the Naples Court. The court authorised PFP's composition with creditors procedure with its ruling of 21 October 2020 and appointed the judicial receiver in charge of selling the company's assets and distributing the proceeds to its creditors.

Civil litigation

Metro C (Italy)

Actions related to default of the implementing act:

  1. Opposition proceedings against the order for payment - Appeal against the first level ruling

Metro C (Webuild's investment: 34.5%) applied for and obtained an order from the Rome Court against Roma Metropolitane for payment of the amounts provided for in the implementing act of September 2013 (€296 million) in January 2014. Roma Metropolitane, which had paid roughly €224 million to Metro C during the proceedings, opposed the order. In April 2021, an additional €16 million was received. Therefore, at the date of preparation of this report, Metro C has collected €240 million. Given that it has received only part of the amount outstanding, Metro C has continued to claim the remainder of approximately €56 million plus default interest. The Rome Court overturned the order for payment on 15 June 2018 and dismissed Metro C's payment application for the remainder. Metro C has appealed against this ruling and the related proceedings are pending before the Rome Appeal Court.

  1. Action for damages due to the customer's unlawful acts

Metro C commenced an action for damages with its claim form of 21 May 2019 against Roma Metropolitane and Roma Capitale for unjustly incurred financial charges and damage caused by the non-payment of the sums due under the implementing act of September 2013 referred to in point 1a) as well as the unlawful deductions applied by Roma Metropolitane. Metro C has claimed damages of approximately €55 million for the reasons cited in the claims form, based on an appraisal, in addition to another €18 million for the deductions made by Roma Metropolitane as arbitrary claims for refunds of the new prices agreed and paid during the contract term.

The court appointed an expert which prepared its report finding that the deductions made by Roma Metropolitane of a net amount of around €2.2 million are incorrect and should, therefore, be returned in full to the general contractor.

As the pre-trial stage has been completed, the proceedings are before the judge for their ruling.

Unforeseen costs have been incurred and Metro C has accordingly presented its request for additional consideration. The costs are included in the measurement of contract assets and liabilities for the part deemed highly probable to be recovered, based also on the opinions of the Group's advisors. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements provides more information about the additional consideration recognised under contract assets and liabilities. The Group cannot exclude that currently unforeseeable events may arise in the future which could require changes to the assessments made to date.

CO.MERI (SS-106 state road Jonica, Lot DG–21) (Italy)

As part of the dispute about the construction of E-90, the section of SS-106 state road Jonica from the Squillace interchange (km 178+350) to the Simeri Crichi interchange, on 29 October 2020, the Rome Appeal Court entirely rejected the appeal presented by the customer ANAS against the arbitration award of 28 October 2013 which found that CO.MERI was to be paid approximately €103 million plus the legally required amounts. ANAS has appealed to the Supreme Court, which rejected ANAS' appeal with its ruling published on 13 January 2023. Therefore, the dispute can be considered concluded once and for all and the sums, no longer returnable, collected definitively.

Alto Piura hydroelctric project (Peru)

The Obrainsa Astaldi joint venture was awarded the contract to build the Alto Piura hydroelectric project with the customer PEIHAP (Proyecto Especial de Irrigacion e Hidroenergetico del Alto Piura). On 23 October 2018, the customer terminated the contract and the joint venture commenced a number of local arbitration proceedings before the arbitration centre of the Piura Chamber of Commerce (Centro de Arbitraje de la Camara de Comercio di Piura) against PEIHAP for approximately €24 million (Astaldi's share: €12 million). The customer

presented its counterclaim for approximately €56 million, mainly for alleged indirect damages. The first four arbitration hearings have ruled in favour of the joint venture, awarding it approximately €6.2 million.

On 1 September 2021, PEIHAP enforced a guarantee for the return of contract advances of USD7.1 million provided by Astaldi. The Peruvian legal advisors immediately requested and obtained a provisional measure from the arbitration tribunal to block payment of the guarantee and this tribunal confirmed the measure on 6 December 2021 until the award is handed down on the arbitration proceedings.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago (ICC arbitration no. 25888/GR) (Chile)

On 12 March 2015, the Minister of Public Works (Mnisterio de Obras Públicas), as grantor, awarded the concession for the construction, restructuring, maintenance and operation of Arturo Merico Benítez International Airport in Santiago to Sociedad Concesionaria Nuevo Pudaahuel S.A. ("NPU"), 45% owned by Aéroports de Paris, 40% by VINCI Airports and 15% by Astaldi Concessioni (now transferred to the separate unit). NPU subsequently awarded an EPC contract to a joint venture comprising the Chilean branches of Astaldi and VINCI Construction Grands Projects (VCGP) and a joint venture in which VCGP has an interest (the "JV") to design, build and restructure the airport. Due to the grantor's delay in approving the definitive design prepared by the contractor, the contract was immediately beset by serious delays, generating additional costs for the joint venture. In addition there were generalised difficulties in planning the work activities leading to the lack of productivity and significant diseconomies as a result of the continued interruptions in the approval process.

Astaldi found that the leader VCGP had immediately imposed a contract strategy which was not favourable to the operator NPU. This management model and the operating decisions taken, most of which Astaldi did not agree with, meant the contract outcome decreased over time. VCGP continued to refuse the proposals made by Astaldi over the contract term to improve its management and make the processes more efficient. In the meantime, Astaldi found itself in financial difficulties which led to its application for a composition with creditors procedure and meant it was unable to cover the joint venture's significant funding requirements. VCGP agreed to provide the joint venture with Astaldi's share of the funding as per the terms of an interim agreement.

Astaldi holds that the conflict of interest between VCGP and the group company VINCI Airports, which has a 40% interest in NPU, meant that it could not apply to NPU or the Ministry for the immediate cover of the higher costs incurred.

At the end of 2020, VCGP exercised its right to withdraw from the interim agreement. Its formal reason for this was the positive conclusion of Astaldi's composition with creditors procedure and subsequent capital increase of 5 November 2020. VCGP requested Astaldi return the funding provided to the joint venture (and interest thereon) by VCGP on its behalf of around €38 million.

As Astaldi deems that the joint venture's difficulties were caused by its bad management unilaterally decided upon by the leader (VCGP) and given that its proposal to settle the dispute amicably was rejected, it challenged VCGP's request and presented an application for arbitration to the International Chamber of Commerce against its partner VCGP at the end of 2020. It requested that VCGP cover all the costs of its management decisions and to hold Astaldi harmless from any other risks arising from the contract.

VCGP objected that Astaldi had defaulted and announced that it was excluded from the joint venture.

As part of the same dispute, VCGP filed an appeal with the Rome Court in April 2021 for the preventive attachment of Astaldi's real estate, movable property and receivables for €37.2 million, plus interest, as protection for its alleged claim related to the share of the funding given to the joint venture that it has counterclaimed in the arbitration proceeding commenced by Astaldi. Before the judge handed down their measure, VCGP filed an application to waive the preventive attachment and the judge declared the proceedings to be terminated on 11 October 2022.

At the end of October 2021, VINCI Agencia en Chile presented an application for the preventive attachment of €56 million to the Chilean courts against Astaldi Sucursal Chile. The relevant court rejected this application.

Astaldi was notified by VCGP by registered letter received on 1 July 2021 that the latter has sued Astaldi's chairperson and CEO and the same Astaldi as the party civilly liable (for the symbolic amount of €1 as compensation plus the costs of publishing the ruling and payment of another €20 thousand) before the Nanterre Court in France for the alleged crime of public defamation under the French Criminal Code.

Based on the documentation received, the alleged defamation took place with the publication of the 2020 Annual Report which described the ongoing dispute with VCGP and the complaints made by Astaldi Group (like above). According to VCGP, these complaints were seriously defamatory and prejudicial.

Assisted by their expert advisors, Astaldi and its two directors deem that VCGP's allegations are completely unfounded at factual level as well as legally. They have taken the appropriate legal action.

VCGP has also sued Webuild and its chairperson as part of the same criminal proceeding and for the same reasons.

In October 2022, VCGP dropped the public defamation charges against all the parties involved.

On 25 November 2021, VCGP filed a new arbitration application (ICC no. 26708/PAR) against Webuild (wrongly considering it to be Astaldi's successor), requesting that Webuild be ordered to pay Astaldi's cash calls and the funding advanced by VCGP on Astaldi's behalf for the Santiago del Chile Airport of €52 million and that the two proceedings be joined. The ICC joined the two proceedings and set up a new arbitration tribunal. At the date of preparation of this report, the arbitration proceedings are at an initial phase.

Webuild appeared in the arbitration proceedings contesting both the legitimacy of the arbitration tribunal to hear the dispute given the absence of a valid and effective arbitration clause against it and contesting the merits of all the charges made by VCGP against it.

In addition, on 2 November 2021, VCGP obtained the preventive attachment of Webuild's French accounts of €38.8 million and managed to have €1.8 million frozen.

ESO E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope) Observatory (Chile)

On 3 December 2018, Astaldi's joint venture partner Cimolai claimed Astaldi had defaulted on the commitments made under the deed of partnership and thus requested its investment in the joint venture be diluted to 0.01%. On 5 December 2018, Astaldi disputed Cimolai's claim as being ungrounded and unlawful. On 17 June 2019, Cimolai commenced arbitration proceedings, claiming damages of roughly €100 million. Astaldi deems all claims to be unfounded and has requested payment of damages of €6.5 million.

The arbitration tribunal decided that an expert was to be appointed to analyse certain technical and accounting issues with its order of 7 October 2020. In an attempt to amicably resolve the dispute, Cimolai and Astaldi asked the arbitration tribunal to suspend the proceedings. The arbitration tribunal granted the suspension and the next hearing takes place in March 2023.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Chacayes hydroelectric plant (Chile)

In October 2008, Pacific Hydro Chacayes S.A. and Constructora Astaldi Cachapoal Ltda. signed an EPC contract for the design, supply and construction of the Chacayes hydroelectric plant in Chile. In August 2017, Pacific Hydro Chacayes S.A. applied for arbitration against Constructora Astaldi Cachapoal Ltda. and Astaldi for their alleged breach of the EPC contract. It noted that in February 2016 and, therefore, before Astaldi's composition with creditors procedure, one of the structures of the hydroelectric plant collapsed (the emergency spillway). Pacific Hydro has claimed damages of USD50 million.

On 10 December 2021, the arbitration tribunal issued its final award ordering Astaldi and Constructora Astaldi Cachapoal Ltda to pay USD30.7 million.

The legal advisors have filed an application for the cancellation of the award within the due terms with the Santiago Appeal Court.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Felix Bulnes Hospital (Chile)

In January 2019, Sociedad Concesionaria Metropolitana de Salud S.A. ("SCMS") unduly terminated the construction contract after requesting the guarantees of approximately €30 million be enforced. The contractor, Astaldi Succursal Chile, challenged the termination and requested arbitration before the Santiago Chamber of Commerce, claiming that termination was unlawful, payment for the work performed, compensation for damage and lost profit and return of the enforced guarantees for a total of around €103 million. SCMA presented its counterclaim for approximately €70 million. The final award was notified to the parties on 4 January 2022, rejecting Astaldi's claims and ordering Astaldi Sucursal Chile to pay SCMS approximately €111 million. Astaldi Succursal Chile has appealed against the award to the competent Appeal Court.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

I-405 Expressway (USA)

Astaldi Construction Corporation ("ACC") was assigned this contract as part of a joint venture with the Spanish company Obrascón Huarte Lain S.A. ("OHL") which presented an arbitration application requesting that ACC be excluded from the joint venture on 16 June 2021. It claims that both ACC and Astaldi (its parent and guarantor) are insolvent. This application was made years after Astaldi commenced its composition with creditors procedure.

The arbitration complies with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (jurisdiction of New York, state of New York law). ACC has challenged OHL's claims and has requested in turn that OHL be excluded from the joint venture for the same reasons as it appears that the Spanish company is in severe financial difficulties according to news in the specialist press and verified by Astaldi's US-based legal advisors. The arbitration tribunal has been constituted and the proceeding is at an initial stage.

Railway project E-59 (Poland)

On 27 September 2018, Astaldi notified the customer (PKP, Polskie Linie Koejowe S.A.) of the termination of the contract due to the extraordinary and unforeseeable change in the works performance as evidenced by the abnormal increase in materials and labour costs, as well as the serious unavailability of materials, services and labour on the market, including rail transport of construction materials.

On 5 October 2018, the customer replied by terminating the contract alleging the contractor's default and requesting payment of the fine (PLN130.9 million, the equivalent of around €29 million) and enforcing the guarantees totalling €18.8 million (including the advance payment bond). On 7 February 2019, PKP filed a petition with the Warsaw Court, requesting the payment of fines of PLN87.25 million (the equivalent of €19 million), net of the enforced performance bond (€9.4 million). The customer also requested repayment of PLN8.1 million (including interest) (the equivalent of approximately €1.8 million) it had paid to the subcontractors. Astaldi filed its defence brief on 2 December 2019 and the first level ruling is still pending.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Following the termination of the contract, Astaldi filed a claim before the Warsaw Court on 17 March 2020 for the non-payment of work performed and certified worth PLN17.6 million (the equivalent of approximately €4 million). Subsequently, it filed an additional claim on 26 May 2020 requesting payment of a further PLN16.8 million (the equivalent of €3.9 million, of which around €1.3 million for unpaid invoices and roughly €2.6 million for work performed but not certified). The proceeding is underway.

Railway project 7, Dęblin - Lublin line (Poland)

On 27 September 2018, as leader of the consortium (94.98% share) set up to develop the Dęblin-Lublin railway line, Astaldi notified the customer (PKP, Polskie Linie Koejowe S.A.) of the termination of the contract due to the extraordinary and unforeseeable change in the works performance as evidenced by the abnormal increase in materials and labour costs, as well as the serious unavailability of materials, services and labour on the market, including rail transport of construction materials.

On 5 October 2018, the customer replied by terminating the contract alleging the consortium's default and requesting payment of the fine (PLN248.7 million, the equivalent of around €55 million) and enforcing the guarantees totalling €43.3 million (including the advance payment bond). On 7 February 2019, PKP filed a petition with the Warsaw Court, requesting the payment of fines of PLN155.6 million (the equivalent of approximately €34.4 million), net of the enforced performance bond (€21.7 million). The customer also requested repayment of PLN66.8 million (including interest) (the equivalent of approximately €15 million) it had paid to the subcontractors.

With respect to the above dispute, supported by the opinions of the Group's legal advisors, the directors deem the risk of losing the case is possible, leading to additional costs to those already provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Astaldi filed its defence brief on 2 December 2019 and the first level ruling is still pending. Following termination of the contract, Astaldi presented its claim to the Warsaw Court for non-payment of work performed and certified by the works manager of PLN37.9 million (the equivalent of approximately €8.4 million). It subsequently filed a second claim on 26 May 2020 requesting payment of a further PLN135.3 million (the equivalent of approximately €30 million) for work performed but not certified. The proceeding is underway.

E60 Zemo Osiauri - Chumateleti (Georgia)

Due to the customer's default, Astaldi notified termination of the contract on 22 November 2018 and commenced an arbitration proceeding before the ICC requesting the contractual termination be found to be legitimate and reimbursement of the higher charges and costs due to the customer's contractual breaches. In December 2018, the customer responded by enforcing the guarantees for a total of the equivalent of €24.1 million. The arbitration proceeding also includes the application for the return of the enforced performance bond of the equivalent of €12.0 million.

On 1 April 2022, the ICC handed down the final award finding Astaldi's termination of the contract to be illegitimate and ordering it to pay the customer the equivalent of roughly €15 million. Astaldi has given its legal advisors a mandate to appeal the award before the Paris (France) arbitration tribunal.

Criminal litigation

Investigations related to Ospedale del Mare di Napoli (Italy)

In January 2021, the ceiling of a reinforced concrete building in the car park of Ospedale del Mare di Napoli collapsed. As a result, the Naples public prosecutor is carrying out an investigation to ascertain the causes and accountability. In order to carry out the necessary unrepeatable technical checks, the public prosecutor included in the register of suspects for the crime of negligent collapse all the parties involved in various capacities in the development of the project, including some former Astaldi managers and employees. The technical inspections were completed in November 2022 and the public prosecutor's experts filed the report, which found no

substantial liabilities of the contractor and allocates possible responsibility for the incident to the inspectors and designers. At the date of preparation of this report, the judge has yet to decide about any committals for trial.

Country risk

Libya

Webuild S.p.A. operates in Libya through a permanent establishment and a subsidiary, Impregilo Lidco Libya General Contracting Company ("Impregilo Lidco"), which has been active in Libya since 2009 and is 60% owned by Webuild with the other 40% held by a local partner.

The directors do not deem that significant risks exist with respect to the permanent establishment's contracts as work thereon has not started, except for the Koufra Airport project worth around €64 million. Moreover, the Group's exposure for that project is not material. The Group is also involved in the Libyan Coastal Highway project (approximately €1.1 billion) which leads to the Egyptian border for the stretch through Cyrenaica, which had not yet been started at the reporting date.

Impregilo Lidco had been awarded important contracts for approximately LYD2 billion.

They related to the construction of:

  • infrastructural works in Tripoli and Misuratah;
  • university campuses in Misuratah, Tarhunah and Zliten;
  • a new Conference Hall in Tripoli.

Due to the dramatic political and social events that materialised in Libya from 2011, the subsidiary was obliged due to force majeure to suspend work on the contracts before they even started. Despite this, Webuild has always acted in accordance with the contractual terms.

This political upheaval has not yet subsided, impeding the subsidiary from developing its business. At present, Webuild does not expect activities to be resumed in the near future as there are serious security problems.

Impregilo Lidco continues to be present in Libya and to maintain contacts with its customers, complying promptly with legal and corporate requirements. It informed its customers immediately of the activation of the force majeure clause (provided for contractually).

The customers have acknowledged the contractual rights and the validity of the claims presented for the costs, losses and damages incurred as a result of the above-mentioned unrest. Once the local situation has normalised and the country's institutions are working again, these claims will be discussed with the customers. During 2022, the subsidiary continued to liaise with its customers but production activities have not recommenced.

The impairment losses on net assets and costs incurred starting from the 2012 financial statements are fully included in contract liabilities. The subsidiary has presented claims to the customers for these amounts, which it deems are fully recoverable as they are due to force majeure.

In addition, the investments made to date are covered by the contract advances received from the customers.

The subsidiary's legal advisors agree with this approach as can be seen in their reports.

No significant risks are deemed to exist for the recovery of the net assets attributable to the subsidiary, thanks in part to actions and claims filed against the customers.

As this country's situation continues to be complex and critical, the Group does not expect that operations can be resumed in the short term.

On 10 March 2021, the House of Representatives in Tobruk met at Sirte and approved the interim government of national accord led by the Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Ddeibah. The government has won a vote of confidence to lead the country until new elections.

Webuild will continue to guarantee the subsidiary's business continuity. However, it cannot be excluded that events which cannot currently be foreseen may take place after the date of preparation of this report that require changes to the assessments made to date.

Nigeria

This country's outlook continues to be uncertain. Nigeria is currently in full campaign with presidential and gubernatorial elections scheduled for March 2023. The costs of raw materials have soared as a result of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine generating poverty and social unrest.

The Group is present in Nigeria via its subsidiaries Salini Nigeria Limited (eight contracts), PGH Ltd. and Rivigo JV (Nigeria) Ltd. (a joint venture with Rivers State for the Ogoni contract in which the Group has a 70% stake). The projects are affected by the customers' limited financial resources, which has led to delays.

Work is being carried out for the Suleja-Minna Road (the main thoroughfare for the state of Niger), the Inner Northern Expressway and the Inner Southern Expressway (main roads in the Abuja network) as are limited activities for Adiyan (the Lagos water treatment plant).

Another factor holding back recommencement of the works is the need to approve variations for the increase in unit prices or commissions for price variations and/or currency fluctuations for some of the ongoing projects.

Moreover, the Group cannot exclude that events which cannot currently be foreseen may take place after the date of preparation of this report that require changes to the assessments made to date.

Argentina

In recession since 2018, this country's challenging macroeconomic situation has been worsened by the global health emergency caused by Covid-19.

The economic slump, the containment measures put in place to deal with the pandemic and the drop in global demand have not helped the country's ongoing recession. According to the World Bank, Argentina is one of the Latin American countries that has lost the most wealth.

The additional hike in the inflation rate is partly due to the government's decision to contain the peso's devaluation through restrictive measures on the currency market.

The government reached an agreement with the IMF to restructure its public debt in the first few months of the year. This agreement provides for the receipt of USD40 billion over 30 months against Argentina's commitment to enact important structural macroeconomic reforms. According to the IMF's staff report of 2 December 2022, after the third review of the agreement, Argentina met all the quantitative performance objectives through end-September 2022.

The Group is carrying out two projects in Argentina mostly funded by the World Bank: a hydraulic tunnel (lot 3) and a wastewater pre-treatment plant (lot 2), both of which are part of a mega project for the environmental restoration of the Matanza Riachuelo River Basin in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. These projects have continued despite the country's difficult macroeconomic situation. On 30 November 2022, the customer issued the provisional acceptance certificate for lot 3.

Report on corporate governance and the ownership structure

The corporate governance model adopted by Webuild complies with the principles enshrined in the Code of Conduct/Corporate Governance valid from time to time.

More information about the corporate governance system pursuant to article 123-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act (Legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended) is available in the Report on corporate governance and the ownership structure, published on the parent's website in the governance section (www.webuildgroup.com).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1. Reporting entity

Webuild S.p.A. (the "parent" or "Webuild") has its registered office in Rozzano (Milan), Milanofiori Strada 6 – Palazzo L and islisted on the Milan Stock Exchange. These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). Webuild is a global operator specialised in building large complex infrastructure sector, market leader in Italy and one of the main players on the international stage.

At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, Webuild S.p.A. is managed and coordinated by Salini Costruttori S.p.A..

2. Basis of preparation – General part

2.1 Statement of compliance with the IFRS

As required by Regulation 1606/2002 issued by the European Parliament and Council, implemented in Italy by Legislative decree no. 38/2005, these consolidated financialstatements have been prepared in accordancewith the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union.

The Group's accounting policies and related changes are detailed in notes 3 and 4.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

The figures in these consolidated financial statements are presented using the parent's functional currency, i.e. the Euro. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts expressed in Euro have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

2.3 Authorisation for publication

Webuild S.p.A.'s board of directors authorised the publication of these consolidated financial statements at its meeting of 16 March 2023. They will be published in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2019/815, as subsequently amended.

2.4 Going concern

Webuild Group has prepared its 2022 consolidated financialstatements on a going concern basis. The directors have checked that events that could affect the Group's ability to meet its commitments in the near future and, specifically, in the next 12 months do not exist. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements and complex estimates about the Group's future profitability and financial position, based also on itssector. These complex estimates underpin assumptions about going concern and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and costs. They do not consider non-recurring events that management cannot foresee at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

2.5 Basis of presentation

Webuild Group's consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 are comprised of the following:

  • statement of financial position;
  • statement of profit or loss;
  • statement of comprehensive income;
  • statement of cash flows;
  • statement of changes in equity;
  • notes.

The Group opted to present these consolidated financial statements in line with previous years as follows:

  • current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities are presented separately in the statement of financial position. Current assets and liabilities are those expected to be realised or extinguished in the Group's normal operating cycle, which usually exceeds 12 months. Non-current assets and liabilities include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, non-current financial assets, rightof-use assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefits, deferred tax liabilities and other balances expected to be realised, extinguished, used, sold or settled after the Group's normal operating cycle, i.e., more than twelve months after the reporting date;
  • the statement of profit or loss gives a classification of costs by nature and shows the profit or loss before financing income (costs) and gains(losses) on equity investments and income taxes. The profit or loss from continuing operations, the profit or loss from discontinued operations and the profit or loss attributable to non-controlling interests and that attributable to the owners of the parent are also presented;
  • the statement of comprehensive income shows all non-owner changes in equity;
  • the statement of cash flows presents the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities separately. The indirect method is used.

2.6 Judgements and complex accounting estimates

Preparation of financial statements and the related notes in accordance with the IFRS requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and financial statements disclosures. The main estimates are used, inter alia, to recognise:

note 33, contract revenue;

note 34.6, any impairment losses on assets;

note 34.6, provisions for risks and charges;

note 8, goodwill;

notes 11 and 37, income taxes;

note 34.6, amortisation and depreciation;

note 26, employee benefits.

Considering the Group's sector, the key estimates are those used to determine contract revenue, including claims for additional consideration, total contract costs and the related stage of completion (see the "Contract assets and liabilities" paragraph of the "Basis of preparation - Significant accounting policies" section). A significant part of the Group's activities is typically performed on the basis of contracts which provide that a specific consideration is agreed when the contract is awarded. This implies that the profits on these contracts may undergo change compared to the original estimates depending on the recoverability of greater expenses and/or costs the Group may incur during performance of such contracts. Recognition of additional consideration by associates or joint ventures may entail adjustment of their equity due to standardisation with the Group's accounting policies.

The accounting estimates and significant judgements made by management to prepare these consolidated financial statements are affected by (i) the current macroeconomic scenario characterised by the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical risks associated with the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and (ii) the risks and opportunities of climate change and the energy transition (these issues are discussed in the Directors' report- Part I, to which reference is made). They may have an impact on the Group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

Russia-Ukraine crisis

The Group has no ongoing projects in either Russia or Ukraine. Its exposure to these countries solely refers to a trade receivable from the Ukrainiane customer Ukravtodor relating to the contract to upgrade the Kiev-Kharkiv- Dovzhanskiy section of the M03 motorway, which the customer unilaterally terminated in August 2016. The Group wrote off the receivable by recognising an impairment loss of €65.3 million in profit or loss, as detailed in note 14.1.

Macroeconomic scenario

Affected by the pandemic and, more recently, by the Russia-Ukraine war, the macroeconomic scenario has lately been characterised by particularly volatile commodity and energy prices, coupled with rising inflation and interest rates.

With reference to the rise in the price of raw materials and energy costs, as already discussed in the Directors' report, theGroup's approach to itssupply chainwasto continue the mitigation measuresintroduced in previous years such as the identification of alternative procurement solutions and the urgent transfers of equipment from one work site to another. It also closely observed the market in order to adapt its purchasing strategies to contain prices.

With respect to contract management, most of the foreign contracts are drawn up in accordance with the international standards of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), which provide for risk mitigation clauses including risks related to changes in the cost of works due to increases in raw materials prices.

The Italian government issued Law no. 91 of 15 July 2022, converting Decree law no. 50 of 17 May 2022 (the Aiuti decree) in the second half of the year. This confirmed the measures to counter the rise in prices of raw materials, fuel and energy. In addition, Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget act), effective from 1 January 2023, confirmed the measures to update price lists and revise the prices of contract work in progress in order to tackle the exceptional hikes in prices expected for 2023. During preparation of the contract budget, Webuild considered the expected commodity and energy price trends.

Lastly, the Group also considered the upward interest rate trend when testing its assets (goodwill, equity investments and loans and receivables) for impairment, especially when calculating their WACC. Reference should be made to note 32.2.2 for the potential impact of additional interest rate fluctuations on the Group's financial income and expense.

Climate change and energy transition

As mentioned in the Directors' report, transition to a low-carbon economy that is more environmentally sustainable can create risks for companies due to the possible acceleration in the tightening-up of environmental and climate policies, as well as developments in technologies and stakeholders' increasing focus on environmental issues. Moreover, the intensification of climate change phenomena and their impact on the main areas of the value chain are one of the greatest challenges that companies face in the short and medium to long term.

In order to identify and adopt the necessary solutions and tools to (i) minimise the impact of physical risks, and (ii) pre-empt transition risks arising on the transition to a low-carbon economy, Webuild has deemed it appropriate to continue to include ESG risks in the regular group risk assessment performed by the risk management department.

The budgets for the Group's contracts reflect its identified risk mitigation measures and include regular investments to ensure their greater efficiency.

Climate change risks have also been considered when planning the impairment tests of certain assets(goodwill, equity investments and loans and receivables). Given their characteristics and short life cycle (e.g., TBMs for tunnel boring), the Group's other assets, specifically the plant, machinery and equipment that the Group uses in its ongoing projects, do not bear a significant obsolescence risk.

The utilisation of the up-to-date group 2023 budget that reflectsthe uncertainties as a basisfor the judgements is essential. The Group's procedures include a planning process split into two parts that take place before the preparation of the annual and interim consolidated financial statements. In this case, the group 2023 budget was prepared considering the current macroeconomic scenario and the results of the climate risk and opportunity assessment.

Furthermore, fundamental assumptions about the future and other reasons for uncertainty when making the estimates at the reporting date that may lead to material adjustments to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities are described in the specific section of the Directors' report on the main risk factors and uncertainties.

The actual results may differ from those estimated due to uncertainties underlying the assumptions and the conditions on which the estimates are based.

2.7 Basis of consolidation

The financialstatements at 31 December 2022 approved by the internal bodies of the consolidated companies, where applicable, have been used for consolidation purposes.

A list of the entities included in the consolidation scope is set out in the "List of Webuild Group Companies" annex.

2.7.1 Consolidation procedures

The parent's and its direct and indirect subsidiaries' balances are consolidated on a line-by-line basis.

Webuild S.p.A. classifies another entity as a subsidiary when it hasthe power to unilaterally direct the investee's relevant activities so as to obtain the related economic benefits.

Entities or companies over which Webuild has joint control, by virtue of an investment therein or specific contractual arrangements, are measured as follows pursuant to IFRS 11:

  • consolidated proportionally according to the investment percentage, if they are joint operations;
  • using the equity method, if they are joint ventures.

Investments in associates are measured using the equity method.

The financial statements used for consolidation are modified (made consistent) and reclassified to comply with the Group's accounting policies in line with the currently applicable IFRS.

2.7.2 Transactions involving NCI

Changes to the investment percentage of a subsidiary that does not entail loss of control are treated as equity transactions. Therefore, any differences between the acquisition price and the related share of equity in subsequent acquisitions of investments in entities already controlled by the Group are recognised directly in equity. With respect to partial disposals of an investment in a subsidiary while control is retained, any gain or loss is recognised in equity.

3. Basis of preparation – Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies adopted to draw up these consolidated financial statements are described below.

3.1 Property, plant and equipment

Webuild Group has opted to recognise property, plant and equipment at purchase or production cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using rates determined based on the assets' residual possible use. The annual rates are as follows:

Category Depreciation
rate
Land 0%
Buildings 3%
Plant and machinery from 10% to 20%
Industrial and commercial equipment from 25% to 40%
Other assets from 12% to 25%

Leasehold improvements are classified in the different items of property, plant and equipment on the basis of their nature. They are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the relevant asset and the residual term of the lease.

When a substantial period of time is required for an asset to be ready for use, the purchase or production cost includes borrowing costs incurred in the period required to make the asset available for use.

3.2 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 as described below.

Leases of property, plant and equipment

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.

The Group as lessee

The Group has adopted a single model to recognise and measure all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. It recognises a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments and a right-or-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset.

Right-of-use assets: at the commencement date (the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee), the Group recognises the right-of use assets. These are measured at cost, net of accumulated amortisation/depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortised/depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of their useful life. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Right-of-use assets shall be tested for impairment (see the section on impairment of intangible assets).

Lease liabilities: At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments), less any incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees. They also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised in profit or loss (unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Group uses the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments at the

commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the lease liability increases to reflect interest thereon and decreases to reflect the lease payments made. Moreover, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured to reflect any lease modifications or revised in-substance fixed lease payments. It is also remeasured if there is any change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset or if there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments.

The Group elected to apply the recognition exemption available for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The former are those relating to machinery and equipment (i.e., those with a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option), while the latter relate to office equipment of a low value. The related lease payments are recognised as costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group as lessor

Operating leases

Leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Lease payments from operating leases are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group adds initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognises those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Income from unexpected leases is recognised as revenue when it accrues.

Finance leases

The Group classifies leases as finance leases based on whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee. If this is the case, at the commencement date, the Group recognises the leased assets in its statement of financial position as a financial asset with the lessee at an amount equal to the present value of the investment in the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

3.3 Service concession arrangements

Service concession arrangements when the grantor is a public sector entity and the operator is a private sector entity fall into the scope of IFRIC 12 - Service concession arrangements, if they relate to infrastructure used to provide important economic and social services to the general public.

The criteria adopted by the Group to apply the interpretation to its concessions are set out below.

Scope

IFRIC 12 is applicable when the following conditions are met:

  • the grantor controls or regulates what services the operator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price;
  • the grantor controls through ownership, beneficial entitlement or otherwise any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement.

Measurement of the revenue arising from the concession arrangement

The operator recognises the revenue for the construction and upgrade services in accordance with IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers, considering the fair value of the consideration for the services contractually provided for.

Presentation of the consideration for construction/upgrade services

The operator's consideration for the construction/upgrade services of infrastructure may consist of:

  • a financial asset to the extent that the operator has an unconditional contractual right to receive a specified or determinable amount, regardless of the actual use of the infrastructure by users (minimum specified amount);
  • an intangible asset to the extent that the operator receives a right (a licence) to charge users of the public service provided using the infrastructure (right to charge);
  • both ("mixed" model), when both the above situations are present. In this case, the intangible asset is determined as the difference between the fair value of the investment made and the present value of the financial asset obtained by discounting the cash flows from the minimum specified amount.

The Group's concession arrangements mostly fall under the intangible asset model.

Contractual obligations for the infrastructure's efficiency levels

Given that the operator does not meet the requirements for recognition of the infrastructure as "Property, plant and equipment", the accounting treatment differs depending on the nature of the work carried out and can be split into two categories: (i) work related to normal maintenance of the infrastructure, and (ii) replacement and scheduled maintenance at a future date.

The first category relates to normal ordinary maintenance of the infrastructure, the cost of which is recognised in profit or loss when incurred, also under IFRIC 12. Given that the interpretation does not provide for the recognition of the physical asset but of a right, the second category is recognised in line with IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, which requires: (i) recognition of an accrual to a provision in profit or loss, and (ii) recognition of a provision for charges in the statement of financial position.

Amortisation of the intangible asset

Intangible assets are amortised in accordance with IAS 38 on a systematic basis over the concession term to reflect the pattern in which the asset's future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Group.

3.4 Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets with a finite useful life comprise:

  • the order backlog acquired by the Group (i.e., contract acquisition costs);
  • patents, trademarks and application software acquired or generated internally.

They are recognised when it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. They are measured at acquisition or development cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Recoverability of their carrying amount is checked by using the criteria set out in the section on "Impairment testing".

3.5 Goodwill

Goodwill is recognised at cost net of accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill acquired as part of a business combination is measured as the difference between the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration considered, the amount of any NCI and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously-held equity interest in the acquiree, and the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Goodwill deriving from acquisitions is not amortised. It is tested annually for impairment or whenever conditions arise that presume impairment as per IAS 36 - Impairment of assets.

For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired as part of a business combination is allocated at the acquisition date to each of the cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units - CGU) that will benefit

from the acquisition. The carrying amount of goodwill is monitored at cash-generating unit level for internal management purposes.

Impairment is determined by defining the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of units) to which the goodwill is allocated. When the recoverable amount of the CGU (or group of CGUs) is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill is allocated to a CGU (or group of CGUs), the asset of which has been partly disposed of, the goodwill allocated to the disposed of asset is considered to determine any gain or loss deriving from the transaction. In this case, the transferred goodwill is measured using the amounts related to the disposed of asset compared to the asset still held by the unit.

3.6 Investments in other companies

Under IFRS 9 - Financial instruments, non-controlling interests (i.e., of less than 20%) are considered to be equity investments measured at fair value.

The cost of acquiring investments in consortia and consortium companies is deemed to reflect their fair value.

3.7 Contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue from contracts with customers

Contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue from contracts with customers are recognised and measured in accordance with the guidelines of IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised using the five-step model as set out below:

    1. identify the contract with a customer;
    1. identify the performance obligations in the contract;
    1. determine the transaction price;
    1. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
    1. recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
  • IFRS 15 also covers contract costs, contract modifications and financial statements disclosures.

The methods used by the Group to apply IFRS 15 are summarised below.

Identifying the contract with a customer

The Group identifies and measures contracts with customers in line with IFRS 15 after they have been signed and are binding, creating enforceable rights and obligations for the Group and the customer. The Group considers the criteria of IFRS 15.9 set out below to identify the contract:

  • a. the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;
  • b. the entity can identify each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;
  • c. the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;
  • d. the contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the entity's future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract);
  • e. it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Identifying performance obligations and allocating the transaction price

IFRS 15 identifies a performance obligation as a promise included in the contract with a customer to transfer: a) a good and/or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

In the Group's case, its performance obligation is usually the entire project. In fact, although the individual performance obligations provided for in the contract are distinct, they are highly interdependent and integrated as the contract provides for the transfer of the entire infrastructure to the customer.

However, certain contractual items include additional services that should be considered as distinct performance obligations. For example, these may be post-completion maintenance services after final inspection and additional or different contract warranties compared to those provided for by law or normal sector practices.

When a contract has more than one performance obligation, the appropriate portion of the contract consideration is allocated to each separate performance obligation pursuant to IFRS 15. The Group's contracts with customers usually specify the price of each contractual item (detailed in the contract).

Determining the criteria for satisfaction of the performance obligations and recognition of the revenue

IFRS 15 provides that revenue shall be recognised when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied transferring the promised good or service (or asset) to the customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control.

The Group's contracts with customers are usually long-term contracts that include obligations to be satisfied over time based on the progress towards completion and transfer of control of the asset to the customer over time.

The reasons why recognition of revenue over time is considered the correct approach are:

  • the customer controls the asset as it is constructed (the asset is built directly in the area made available by the customer);
  • the asset under construction does not have an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for its performance completed to date over the contract term.

IFRS 15 requires that progress towards satisfaction of a performance obligation be measured using the method that best represents the transfer of control of the asset under construction to the customer. The objective when measuring progress is to depict an entity's performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer. The Group considers its market sector and the complex mix of goods and services it provides when it selects the appropriate revenue recognition method. IFRS 15 provides for two alternative methods to recognise revenue over time:

  • a. output method;
  • b. input method.

Output methods recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to the date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract (e.g., surveys of performance completed to date, milestones reached, units delivered, etc.). Input methods recognise revenue on the basis of the entity's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation (e.g., resources consumed, labour hours expended, costs incurred, time elapsed or machine hours used) relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation (cost to cost method).

The most appropriate criterion for measuring revenue with the input method is the cost to cost method calculated by applying the percentage of completion (the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs) to contract revenue. The calculation of the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs only considers costs that contribute to the actual transfer of control of the goods and/or services. This method allows the objective

measurement of the transfer of control to the customer as it considers quantitative variables related to the contract as a whole.

When choosing the appropriate method for measuring the transfer of control to the customer, the Group did not adopt the output method (e.g., surveys of performance completed to date) for its ongoing contracts as it considered that although this output method would allow a direct measurement of progress, it would also lead to operating difficulties in managing and monitoring progress considering all the resources necessary to satisfy the obligation.

In addition, an output method would entail the application of criteria and measurement inputs that are not directly observable and the incurring of excessive costs to obtain useful information.

Finally, in the Group's reference sector, the objective of contractual outputs (milestones) refers to, inter alia, modulation of cash flows to obtain financial resources useful to perform the contract and the definition of technical specifications of the works and related performance timing.

Determining the transaction price

Given the engineering and operating complexities, the size and length of time involved in completing the contracts, in addition to the fixed consideration agreed in the contract, the transaction price also includes additional consideration, whose conditions need to be assessed. A claim is an amount that the contractor seeks to collect as reimbursement for costs incurred (and/or to be incurred) due to reasons or events that could not be foreseen and are not attributable to the contractor, for more work performed (and/or to be performed) or variations that were not formalised in riders.

The measurement of the additional consideration arising from claims is subject to a high level of uncertainty, given its nature, both in terms of the amounts that the customer will pay and the collection times, which usually depend on the outcome of negotiations between the parties or decisions taken by judicial/arbitration bodies.

This type of consideration is regulated by IFRS 15 as "contract modifications". The standard provides that a contract modification exists if it is approved by the parties to the contract. IFRS 15 provides that a contract modification can be approved in writing, by oral agreement or implied by customary business practices. A contract modification may exist even though the parties to the contract have a dispute about the scope or price (or both) of the modification. The rights to the consideration shall be provided for contractually generating an enforceable right. Once the enforceable right has been identified, in order to recognise the claims and amount of the additional consideration requested, the Group applies the guidance about the variable consideration given in IFRS 15. Therefore, in order to adjust the transaction price to include the additional consideration arising from the claims, the Group decides whether it is highly probable that the revenue will not be reversed in the future.

The Group considers all the relevant aspects and circumstances such as the contract terms, business and negotiating practices of the sector or other supporting evidence when taking the above decision.

Optional works

The consideration for optional works is additional consideration for future works that have not yet been agreed and/or ordered by the customer when it signs the contract.

The consideration for optional works is provided for in the contracts with the customer as it represents potential future work interrelated with the main contract object. However, most contracts provide that the additional works shall be specifically defined and approved by the customer before they start. Otherwise, the contractor does not have an enforceable right to payment for this performance.

Accordingly and based on sector practices, this type of consideration is a contract modification and, under IFRS 15, shall be considered when measuring the transaction price if approved by both parties to the contract. In this case, the enforceable right can only be identified after specific approval or instructions from the customer in line with its customary business practices or operating methods.

Penalties

Contracts with customers may include penalties due to non-compliance with certain contract terms (such as, for example, non-compliance with delivery times).

When the contract penalties are "reasonably expected", the transaction price is reduced accordingly. The Group analyses all the indicators available at the reporting date to assess the probability of a contract default that would lead to the application of penalties.

Significant financing component

It is normal practice in the construction and large-scale infrastructure sector that the transaction price for a project (which is usually completed over more than one year) is paid in the form of an advance and subsequent progress billing (based on progress reports).

This method of allocating cash flows is often defined in the calls for tenders. The customer's payment flows (advances and subsequent progress billing) are usually organised to make construction of the project by the contractor feasible, limiting its financial exposure. Constructors in the large-scale infrastructure sector build projects for large amounts of money and the initial outlay is usually high.

The contract advance is used for the following reasons:

  • to finance the initial contract investments and pay the related advances to subcontractors;
  • as a form of guarantee to cover any risks of contractual breach by the customer.

The advance is reabsorbed by the subsequent progress billing in line with the stage of completion of the contract.

Furthermore, the Group's operating cycle is generally several years. Therefore, it considers the correct timescale of its works to determine whether its contracts include a significant financing component.

Based on the above, it has not identified significant financing components in the transaction price for the contracts that include changes in the advances or progress billings in line with sector practices and/or of amounts that are suitable as guarantees and have a timeframe in line with the cash flows required to complete the contract.

Losses to complete

IFRS 15 does not specifically cover the accounting treatment of loss-making contracts but refers to IAS 37, which regulates the measurement and classification (previously covered by IAS 11) of onerous contracts. IAS 37 provides that an onerous contract is one in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision when the loss is probable based on the most recent forecasts prepared by management.

The unavoidable costs are all those costs that:

  • are directly proportionate to the contract and increase the performance obligation transferred to the customer;
  • do not include those costs that will be incurred regardless of satisfaction of the performance obligation;
  • cannot be avoided by the Group through future actions.

Measurement of any loss-making contracts (the onerous test) is performed at individual performance obligation level. This approach best represents the different contract profits or losses depending on the nature of the goods and services transferred to the customer.

Contract costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

IFRS 15 allows an entity to recognise the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an asset if it expects to recover those costs through the future economic benefits of the contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognised as an expense when incurred (costs not explicitly chargeable to the customer). The incremental costs are recognised as an asset (contract costs) and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer.

Costs to fulfil a contract

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  • the costs relate directly to a contract;
  • the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future;
  • the costs are expected to be recovered.

It is the practice of the Group's sector that these costs usually consist of pre-operating costs that are recognised by customers and included in precise contract items or are not explicitly recognised and are covered by the contract profit. Formal recognition of these costs implies that, when they are incurred, control of the asset provided for in the contract is transferred. Therefore, they are recognised as assets and contribute to the stage of completion.

When the contract does not provide for their explicit recognition as per the above three criteria, the preoperating costs are recognised as assets and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of control of the goods and/or services to the customer.

In addition, IFRS 15 defines all those costs that, by their nature, do not contribute to the stage of completion as, although they are referred to in the contract and can be recovered, they do not contribute to generating or enhancing the resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligations or to transfer of control of the good and/or service to the customer.

Presentation in the consolidated financial statements

The statement of financial position includes contract costs under intangible assets which includes the costs capitalised under the criteria described in this section. Amortisation of these costs is included in the statement of profit or loss item "Amortisation, depreciation and provisions".

Contract assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position items "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities", respectively under assets and liabilities. The classification in line with IFRS 15 depends on the relationship between the Group's performance obligation and payment by the customer. These items show the sum of the following components analysed individually for each customer:

(+) Amount of work performed calculated using the cost-to-cost method pursuant to IFRS 15

  • (-) Progress payments and advances received
  • (-) Contract advances

When the total is positive, the net balance is recognised as a "Contract asset". If it is negative, it is recognised as a "Contract liability". When the amounts represent an unconditional right to payment of the consideration, they are recognised as financial assets.

The Group's statement of profit or loss includes a revenue item "Revenue from contracts with customers" presented and measured in accordance with IFRS 15. The item "Other income" includes income from transactions other than contracts with customers and is measured in line with other standards or the Group's specific accounting policy elections. It includes income related to gains on the sale of non-current assets, income on cost recharges, prior year income and income from the recharging of costs of Italian consortia and consortium companies.

With respect to the last item, the Group's activities involve its participation in numerous SPEs that, especially in Italy, use the consortium structure, which works using a cost recharging system. As this income does not arise on the performance of the contract obligations or contract negotiations, it is recognised as "Other income".

3.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with a term of less than three months. This item is shown in the statement of cash flows net of bank borrowings at the reporting date.

3.9 Financial assets – Debt instruments

Financial assets are classified in the following three categories depending on the instruments' contractual cash flow characteristics and the business model for managing them:

  • financial assets at amortised cost;
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at their transaction price.

Financial assets at amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial assets that generate contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold them in order to collect contractual cash flows (hold to collect business model). Under the amortised cost method, the financial assets' amount at initial recognition is decreased by principal repayments, any loss allowance and cumulated amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount.

Amortisation is calculated using the effective interest rate that exactly discounts the expected future cash flows to their initial carrying amount.

Loans and receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost are recognised net of the related loss allowance.

In 2022, the Group did not have any debt instruments measured at FVTOCI or FVTPL.

3.10 Loans and borrowings and bonds

Loans and borrowings and bonds are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The Group does not have any loans, borrowings or bonds measured as a financial liability at FVTPL.

Any difference between the amount received (less transaction costs) and the nominal amount of the liability is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has a contractual right to extinguish its obligations after 12 months of the reporting date.

3.11 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or parts of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire;
  • the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients in full and immediately;
  • the Group transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset and has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and the related control.

When the Group has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or has retained control, it continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of guaranteeing the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the initial carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of the consideration that the Group could be required to pay.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the underlying obligation is extinguished, cancelled or settled.

When an existing financial liability is exchanged with another by the same lender at substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, this exchange or modification is treated as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

When the modification and exchange of a financial liability does not qualify for derecognition under IFRS 9, its carrying amount is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument's original effective interest rate. Any difference between the recalculated carrying amount and the carrying amount of the original financial instrument is immediately recognised in profit or loss.

3.12 Derivatives and hedging transactions

Webuild Group has derivatives recognised at fair value when the related agreement is signed and remeasured at subsequent reporting dates. The treatment of the related fair value gains or losses changes depending on whether the conditions for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 are met.

Webuild Group has derivatives to hedge currency and financial risks. At the inception of the transaction, it documents the hedging relationship, its risk management and strategy objectives in entering into the transaction, the hedging instrument and hedged item or transaction and the nature of the hedged risk. Moreover, at the inception of the transaction and thereafter on an ongoing basis, the Group documents

whether or not the hedge meets the effectiveness requirements to offset its exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

"Hedging purposes" are assessed considering risk management objectives. When they do not meet the requirements of IFRS 9 for hedge accounting, the derivatives are classified as "Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss".

3.13 Employee benefits

Defined benefit plans

Defined benefit plans include the benefits the employees will receive when they retire and which are usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and remuneration. The Group recognises a liability for these defined benefits equal to the present value of its obligation at year end, including any adjustments for unrecognised costs related to past service less the fair value of the plan assets. The Group calculates its liability once a year using the projected unit credit method. Present value is calculated by discounting the future outlays using the interest rate applied to high quality corporate bonds with a currency and term consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans arising from changes in the underlying assumptions or in the plan conditions are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service cost is expensed immediately. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Defined contribution plans

The Group pays benefits to public and private pension funds on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis for the defined contribution plans. The contributions are recognised as personnel expense as the related service is provided.

The Group contributes to multi-employer pension plans via its US subsidiaries. These plans pool the assets contributed by the various entities to provide benefits to the employees of more than one entity determining the contribution and benefit levels without regard to the identity of the entity that employs the employees concerned. The Group recognises these plans as defined contribution plans.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value and recognised as personnel expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity. Specifically, the cost is recognised over the vesting period, i.e., the period from the grant date to the assignment date, considering the fair value of the shares at the grant date and the expected fulfilment of the performance conditions provided for by the plan.

3.14 Income taxes

Current taxes are provided for using the enacted tax rates and laws ruling in Italy and other countries in which the Group operates, based on the best estimate of the taxable profit for the year.

Group companies net tax assets and liabilities when this is legally allowed.

The parent set up the national tax consolidation system pursuant to article 117 and subsequent articles of Presidential decree no. 917/86 on 1 January 2004. In 2022, 15 of the parent's Italian subsidiaries had joined the system, which is regulated by the specific consolidation mechanisms.

3.15 Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the basis of the temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets are recognised when the Group holds their recovery to be probable.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and, to the extent necessary, is decreased when it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to use all or part of the related benefit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, respectively, and are netted at company level if related to taxes that may be offset. If the balance is positive, it is recognised as "Deferred tax assets", if not, as "Deferred tax liabilities".

Taxes that could arise from the transfer of undistributed profits by subsidiaries are only calculated when the subsidiary has the positive intention to transfer such profits.

In the case of transactions recognised directly in equity, the related deferred tax asset or liability also affects equity.

3.16 Provisions for risks and charges

In accordance with IAS 37, the Group makes accruals to provisions for risks and charges when the following conditions exist:

  • the Group or a group company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) at the reporting date as a result of a past event where an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
  • it is probable that the obligation (through an outflow of resources) will have to be settled;
  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the time value is material and the obligation payment dates can be estimated reliably, the amount recognised as the provision equals the pre-tax future cash flows (i.e., forecast outflows) discounted at a rate that reflects the present market value and risks specific to the liability.

The increase in the provision due to discounting is recognised as a financial expense.

When the expected cash flows are included in an estimate range with the same probability of occurrence, the median value is discounted to measure the liability.

Provision for restructuring costs is recognised when the parent or relevant group company has approved a detailed formal plan that has been implemented and communicated to the third parties involved.

3.17 Foreign currency

3.17.1 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Revenue and costs related to foreign currency transactions are recognised in profit or loss at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Any material effects deriving from changes in exchange rates after the reporting date are disclosed in the notes.

3.17.2 Translation of foreign operations' financial statements into Euros

The subsidiaries', associates' and joint arrangements' financial statements used for consolidation purposes are expressed in the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (their functional currency). If these financial statements are expressed in a foreign currency, they are translated into Euros at the closing exchange rates (assets and liabilities) and annual average rates (revenue and costs), as these are deemed to reasonably approximate the spot exchange rates.

Differences arising from the translation of the opening equity using the closing rates and from the translation of assets and liabilities at the spot rate and the statement of profit or loss items at the average annual rate are taken to the translation reserve.

The exchange rates used to translate the foreign currency financial statements into Euros are as follows:

When an investment in a consolidated entity is sold, the accumulated gain or loss recognised in equity is released to profit or loss.

3.18 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies

In 2018, a global consensus was reached on the existence of the conditions - still present - that led to hyperinflation in Argentina under the IFRS.

During 2022, the list of hyperinflationary economies continued to evolve rapidly due to the deteriorating global macroeconomic conditions and the growth in global inflation. Moreover, based on the latest IMF projections and locally observed inflation data, Turkey and Ethiopia will be added to the list of countries considered hyperinflationary under IFRS as of this year. However, the Group's operations in those countries are mainly carried out by entities with functional currencies other than the relevant local currencies and, therefore, the provisions of IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for the preparation of their financial statements do not apply.

The group entities, whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, applied the provisions of IAS 29 for financial reporting purpose. Therefore, costs and revenues were translated at the closing rates and were restated by applying the change in the general consumer price index that occurred from the date on which the items were initially recognised to the reporting date. Monetary assets and liabilities were not restated, as they were translated at the closing rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities were restated to reflect the loss of purchasing power of the local currency that occurred from when the assets and liabilities were initially recognised to the reporting date.

3.19 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

Assets held for sale are recognised as such when the following events take place:

  • signing of a binding sales agreement;
  • approval and communication of a formal sales plan by directors.

In order to be correctly measured, the assets shall be:

  • available for immediate sale in their present condition;
  • subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
  • the sale must be highly probable and expected to take place within twelve months.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and that meets any of the following criteria: i) it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; ii) it is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or iii) it is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a plan to resell.

The profit or loss from discontinued operations is disclosed separately in the statement of profit or loss. As required by paragraph 34 of IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, the corresponding prior year figures are reclassified accordingly.

Non-current assets that are to be abandoned

Under IFRS 5.13, non-current assets to be abandoned are those that are destined to be no longer used. Their carrying amount will never be recovered through their sale but through their continuous use to the end of their economic life (scrapping).

However, if the asset to be abandoned (i) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or (ii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, it is recognised as a discontinued operation.

These assets are reclassified as discontinued operations at the date on which they cease to be used. They are considered owned and used until they are actually disposed of.

3.20 Impairment testing

Goodwill and equity investments and financial assets were tested for impairment at the reporting date in accordance with IAS 36 and IFRS 9, respectively.

The Group carried out the impairment tests considering:

  • the procedures approved, also in compliance with the joint Bank of Italy/Consob/Isvap document no. 4 of 3 March 2010, which are based, inter alia, on: (i) the applicable IFRS, (ii) the guidance and recommendations of the market regulators, and (ii) valuation best practices;
  • the actual and forward-looking (2023 budget) financial data prepared by the investees' management.

Lastly, as customary, management availed itself of the advice of a network of international experts for the preparation of the impairment tests.

Market capitalisation below equity

Since the parent's market capitalisation (€1,376.1 million) at the reporting date is lower than its equity attributable to the owners of the parent (€1,578.7 million), management deemed it appropriate to check whether this fact would represent an impairment indicator. Like other sector operators, the parent's market value was affected by external factors that penalised financial markets in Italy and abroad during the year. These were mainly attributable to international monetary policies, rising inflation and uncertainties related to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Considering the above and that the parent's market capitalisation levelled off at levels higher than the Group's equity, management concluded that there were no impairment indicators.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and equity investments

If there is any indication that an intangible asset or an item of property, plant and equipment is impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

If a binding sales agreement does not exist, fair value is estimated using the observable prices of an active market, recent transactions or the best information available to reflect the amount the entity could obtain by disposing of the asset.

Value in use is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset, net of taxes, and, if reasonably determinable, from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Discounting is applied by using a post-tax discount rate which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

The assessment is made for individual assets or the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets from its continuing use (cash-generating unit). An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. If the reasons for the impairment loss are no longer valid, the impairment loss (except in the case of goodwill) is reversed and the adjustment is taken to profit or loss as a reversal of impairment losses. A reversal of impairment losses is recognised to the extent of the lower of the recoverable amount and original

carrying amount less depreciation/amortisation that would have been recognised had the impairment loss not been recognised.

Financial assets

The Group tests the recoverable amount of financial assets at amortised cost using the expected credit loss model. This model develops estimates of the impact of changes in economic factors (including future changes) on the expected credit losses using a probability-weighted outcome.

Credit-impaired financial assets are individually impaired, taking into account the parameters identified from time to time and disclosed in these notes.

The Group's credit risk is that deriving from its exposure to potential losses arising from the customers' (which are mostly governments or state bodies) non-compliance with their obligations.

5. Business combinations

Business combinations are recognised using the acquisition method set out in IFRS 3 (revised in 2008). Accordingly, the consideration for a business combination is measured at fair value, being the sum of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed or incurred by the Group at the acquisition date and the equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquired entity. Transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

The contingent consideration, included as part of the transfer price, is measured at acquisition-date fair value. Any subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition-date fair value.

Goodwill is measured as the difference between the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests (NCI) and the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree and the net fair value of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the difference is negative, the resulting gain is recognised as a bargain purchase in profit or loss.

NCI can be measured at fair value or at their proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree at the acquisition date. The measurement method is decided on a case-by-case basis.

Business combination achieved in stages (step acquisition)

In the case of step acquisitions, the Group's existing investment in the acquiree is measured at fair value on the date that control is obtained. Any resulting adjustments to previously recognised assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss. Therefore, the previously held investment is treated as if it had been sold and reacquired on the date that control is obtained.

Business combinations carried out in 2022

None.

Completion of the PPA procedure for Seli Overseas S.p.A.

As disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021, to which reference is made for more information, Webuild acquired 100% of Seli Overseas S.p.A. with effect from 27 July 2021.

The acquisition-date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was provisionally estimated at €9.75 million. As allowed by IFRS 3, the Group opted to complete the purchase price allocation (PPA) procedure in 12 months.

It, therefore, completed the identification and fair value measurement of Seli Overseas S.p.A.'s assets and liabilities in 2022, from which no differences emerged with respect to the figures presented in the 2021 consolidated financial statements.

The following table shows the PPA extrapolated from the 2021 consolidated financial statements:

(€'000)
Consideration transferred to acquire a controlling interest 12,767
Net assets acquired 9,752
Goodwill 3,015

6. Segment reporting

Segment reporting is presented according to macro geographical regions, based on the management review approach adopted by management, for the '"Italy", "Abroad" and "Lane Group" operating segments".

Costs relating to activities which are carried out by the parent, Webuild, called "Corporate" costs, are attributed to the Italy segment and relate to:

  • planning of human and financial resources;
  • coordination and assistance with the group companies' administrative, tax, legal/corporate and institutional and business communications requirements.

These costs amounted to €198.3 million for 2022 compared to €165.4 million for the previous year.

Management measures the segments' results by considering their operating profit.

It measures their equity structure using their net invested capital.

Disclosures on the Group's performance by business segment are set out in the Directors' report.

The methods of aggregating information by business segment have been revised in 2022, in order to continue to ensure consistency with the reporting system in use by senior management. The 2021 comparative figures have been restated accordingly.

The consolidated financial statements figures are summarised below by operating segment with comparative figures for 2021 (statement of profit or loss) and at 31 December 2021 (statement of financial position).

The most significant changes include:

  • increases of €272.6 million, mainly related to investments made (i) for the Australian Snowy Hydro 2.0 project (€76.3 million) to complete the base camp, place the third tunnel boring machine (TBM) in service and purchase equipment for the mechanical excavation of the tunnels, (ii) by Consorzio Hirpinia (€38.2 million) to purchase prefabricated modules, equipment and machinery, and (iii) by the TELT JV for Lot 2 in France (€18.0 million), mainly as progress payments for three TBMs and buildings for the base camp;
  • depreciation of €173.9 million, principally recognised on the Snowy Hydro 2.0 project (Australia), the Milan - Genoa railway line project and Lane Group's projects;
  • reclassifications of €23.4 million, chiefly related to machinery and equipment under lease at the end of 2021;

• disposals of €28.2 million, mostly the building used for offices and accommodation in Via Agrigento, Rome (€2.4 million) and equipment no longer necessary for contracts in Italy (mainly the Milan - Genoa railway line), the United States and Australia (Forrestfield Airport Link in Perth).

7.2. Right-of-use assets

  • increases of €45.6 million, mainly related to progress made on the projects in the United States (Lane Group), Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project) and Australia (North East Link project);
  • depreciation (€74.9 million);
  • reclassifications, mostly due to the transfer of machinery and equipment held under lease at 31 December 2021 to proprietary assets (€23.4 million).

7.3. Intangible assets

The item may be analysed as follows:

31 December 2021 31 December 2022
(€'000) Cost Acc. amort. Carrying amount Cost Acc. amort. Carrying amount
Rights to infrastructure under concession 67,477 (10,013) 57,464 65,510 (8,129) 57,381
Contract acquisition costs 640,924 (291,288) 349,635 638,779 (374,701) 264,078
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract 17,731 (7,690) 10,041 16,764 (12,468) 4,296

Total 821,725 (355,375) 466,350 816,467 (442,493) 373,974

Rights to infrastructure under concession mostly refers (€44.6 million) to the design costs incurred by the subsidiary SA.BRO.M. for the new Broni - Mortara regional motorway, which include the borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with IAS 23. They were not amortised as the concession is currently inoperative.

Information about management's assessments of the recoverability of this investment is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

Contract acquisition costs mostly relate to: (i) the EPC order backlog recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the Astaldi Group acquisition in 2020 (€201.3 million), and (ii) "contractual rights" acquired from third parties to perform the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa and Verona - Padua railway line contracts (€18.8 million and €18.7 million, respectively).

The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those incurred to win contracts and mostly refer to the subsidiary Fisia Italimpianti for Lot 2 of the Riachuelo project in Argentina.

The costs to fulfil a contract include pre-operating costs capitalised in accordance with IFRS 15.95 as they will generate resources that will be used in performing the related contracts. The year-end balance mostly refers to the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line contract and some other recently awarded projects in Italy.

Other assets principally consist of application software.

The changes of the year are mostly a result of the amortisation of Astaldi Group's EPC order backlog (€69.5 million).

There are no indicators of impairment of the Group's intangible assets.

Impairment test

The following table summarises the key drivers used for the impairment test:

CGU Metodology Growth rate (g) WACC
Lane Group UDCF Null 10.27%
Seli Overseas UDCF Null 11.97%

The impairment tests showed that the carrying amount of the CGUs is fully recoverable, including goodwill.

The Group performed a sensitivity analysis of the impairment test results to check their volatility given the financial parameters used. The value drivers that bring the CGUs' recoverable amounts into line with their carrying amounts are:

  • Lane Group: WACC 23.6%;
  • Seli Overseas: WACC 30.39%.

Significantly different results for the recoverability of goodwill would not arise even in the worst case scenario with a hypothetical 5% reduction in cash flows.

9. Equity investments

9.1 Equity-accounted investments

This item includes:

The most significant changes include:

  • capital injections into Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. (€11.4 million) and Lane Group companies (€16.1 million);
  • the exchange gains recognised in OCI by Grupo Unidos por El Canal S.A., which benefited considerably from the US dollar's strong appreciation during the year (€30.7 million);
  • the reduction in dividends, mostly attributable to the Lane Group companies.

Note 36 describes the effects of the equity-accounting of investments on profit or loss.

As already described in previous reports, the financial statements used to measure some of the investments using the equity method include claims for additional consideration as its payment is highly probable, based also on the technical and legal opinions of the Group's advisors. More information is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

Impairment test

Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A.

The Group tested its investment in the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. (the "SPE") for impairment by discounting the cash flows expected from its operations using the assumed settlement of the claims and other assets held by the SPE as the drivers. Specifically, the cash flows comprised the operating expenses (mainly legal fees) and collections expected in line with the estimated payment timeline of the claims.

The discount rates (4.5% for the claims and 4.0% for the other assets) were defined considering:

  • the average return on risk-free rates of the six months before the reporting date in order to consider the current macroeconomic climate;
  • a country risk component;
  • a spread that reflects the typical business risk.

The impairment test confirmed the equity investment's carrying amount to be recoverable.

The impairment test was subjected to a sensitivity analysis to check its results' sensitivity to a reasonable 1% variation in the discount rate. No potential impairment losses were identified.

Yuma Concesionaria S.A.

The Group deemed it opportune to test the investment in Yuma Concesionaria S.A. (section 3 of the Ruta del Sol Motorway in Colombia) for impairment at the reporting date.

It determined the value in use using the dividend discount model (DDM), discounting the expected dividends for the 2023-2031 period at a rate of 14.1%, equal to the investee's cost of equity (ke).

The Group used the business plan prepared by the investee's management to apply this model.

The impairment test confirmed the equity investment's carrying amount to be recoverable.

No other indicators of impairment of the other equity-accounted investments were identified.

A sensitivity analysis was performed of the equity investment's recoverable amount using a worst case scenario with a 1% increase in the discount rate. The results of this analysis were not significantly different to those obtained from the impairment tests.

No other indicators of impairment of the other equity-accounted investments were identified.

  • €66.0 million related to the CAV.TO.MI. consortium paid on account as a result of the ongoing dispute with the customer about the high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan railway line project;
  • €64.8 million related to the undue enforcement of the performance bonds for the A1F, S3 Nowa Sol, S7 Checiny and S7 Widoma motorway contracts in Poland. The Group is confident that it will recover this amount, based also on the opinion of its legal advisors assisting it in the disputes with the customer.

Loans and receivables - unconsolidated group companies and other related parties mainly relate to the loans given to Yuma Concesionaria S.A. (€178.8 million) and the SPE Linea M4 S.p.A. (€92.3 million).

The increase in non-current assets is mostly due to: (i) the additional loans granted to Yuma Concesionaria S.A. (€81.0 million), (ii) execution of the performance bonds for the S7 Widoma project (€22.3 million), and (iii) the additional sales advances disbursed to PADE (€10.6 million).

More information about the Turin - Milan railway line contract, the motorway projects in Poland and Yuma Concesionaria S.A. is provided in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

Contract assets and liabilities can be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Contract assets 2,787,252 3,199,971 412,719
Contract liabilities 3,422,846 3,311,689 (111,157)

Information about the contract assets and liabilities is set out below while the "Performance by geographical area" section in the Directors' report provides information about the contracts, their performance and progress made on the main ongoing projects.

Contract assets

Contract assets include:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Contract work in progress 41,105,731 55,992,398 14,886,667

Advances (972,147) (984,508) (12,361)
Total 2,787,252 3,199,971 412,719

The following table shows a breakdown of the item by geographical segment:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Italy 356,869 480,229 123,360
EU (excluding Italy) 766,809 883,092 116,283
Other European countries (non-EU) 39,298 67,300 28,002
Asia/Middle East 947,329 708,742 (238,587)
Africa 317,121 422,439 105,318
Americas (including Lane) 206,745 466,716 259,971
Oceania 153,081 171,453 18,372
Total 2,787,252 3,199,971 412,719

Foreign contract assets increased by €289.4 million, mostly as a result of the greater production volumes achieved in the United States by Lane Group (mainly the I-10 Corridor in California, Cabot Yard and Maintenance Facilities Improvement in Boston, West Ship Canal and C43 Water Management Builders in Florida), Europe

(Braila Bridge and the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line in Romania and Line 16 of the Paris Metro in France) and Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project).

With respect to Asia and the Middle East, contract assets decreased in the United Arab Emirates due to (i) the agreement signed with the customer to settle the claims about the Meydan One Mall project in Dubai (€154.8 million), and (ii) certification of some important milestones in Saudi Arabia (for the Riyadh Metro).

Domestic contract assets increased by €123.4 million, mostly related to the maxi lot of the Marche - Umbria road system, Line 4 of the Milan Metro and the Bicocca - Catenanuova section of the high-speed/capacity Palermo - Catania railway line.

With respect to the item's breakdown by geographical segment, the biggest Italian contributors are Lot 2 of the Marche - Umbria road system, the Infraflegrea project and Line 4 of the Milan Metro. Europe's total was pushed up by the ongoing projects in Romania (mainly the Braila Bridge, the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line and Lot 3 of the Sibiu - Pitesti Motorway) and Poland (principally the Warsaw Southern Bypass and the motorway projects). In Asia and the Middle East, the projects underway in Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project), Qatar (Al Bayt Stadium) and Saudi Arabia (Line 3 of the Riyadh Metro and the SANG Villas) contributed the most to the total balance for this area.

Contributors in Africa were the projects in Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project) and Algeria (Saida - Tiaret - Moulay railway line).

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities include:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Contract work in progress (22,645,081) (14,563,160) 8,081,921
Progress payments (on approved work) 22,836,482 14,089,967 (8,746,515)
Advances 3,231,445 3,784,882 553,437
Total 3,422,846 3,311,689 (111,157)

The following table shows a breakdown of the item by geographical segment:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Italy 2,322,658 2,300,252 (22,406)
EU (excluding Italy) 36,886 69,759 32,873
Other European countries (non-EU) 125,492 20,865 (104,627)
Asia/Middle East 15,506 86,233 70,727
Africa 115,034 63,038 (51,996)
Americas (including Lane) 268,972 224,897 (44,075)
Oceania 538,298 546,645 8,347
Total 3,422,846 3,311,689 (111,157)

The reduction in contract liabilities is mostly due to the considerable progress made on the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line, the Snowy 2.0 project in Australia and the Koysha Hydroelectric Project in Ethiopia73 , as well as the substantial completion of the Etlik Integrated Health Campus in Ankara in Turkey. This contraction was partly countered by the advances collected in the second half of the year for the recently-awarded contracts

73 Following the ramping up of production at the Koysha Hydroelectric Project, the amounts due from customers exceed the progress payments and advances received. As a result the related balances were reclassified to contract assets at 31 December 2022.

in Italy (Genoa Breakwater, Enna - Dittaino section of the high-speed Palermo - Catania railway line), Australia (STTOM Project) and Saudi Arabia (Diriyah Square - Package).

The breakdown of contract liabilities by geographical segment shows that the Italian balance relates to work on the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua, Naples - Bari and Palermo - Catania - Messina railway lines, the new Genoa Breakwater and the third mega lot of the SS-106 state road Jonica.

Contract liabilities in the Americas mostly relate to progress made on projects in the United States (Lane Group) and Canada (the Hurontario Light Rail and RSSOM Project).

The Snowy 2.0, North East Link and SSTOM projects in Australia contributed to the item in the Oceania area.

Additional consideration

Contract assets and liabilities, comprising progress payments, progress billings and advances, include claims for additional consideration of €2,364.1 million and €624.8 million, respectively.

They are recognised to the extent that their payment is deemed highly probable, based also on the legal and technical opinions of the Group's advisors. The additional consideration recognised in contract assets and liabilities is part of the total consideration formally requested of the customers.

The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report provides information on pending disputes and assets exposed to country risk.

14. Trade receivables

This item is analysed in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Third parties 2,536,536 2,929,793 393,258
Loss allowance (424,167) (513,022) (88,855)
Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties 385,865 469,335 83,470
Total 2,498,234 2,886,106 387,873

The following table shows a breakdown of the item by geographical segment:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Italy 1,219,448 1,584,214 364,766
EU (excluding Italy) 206,609 247,346 40,737
Other European countries (non-EU) 203,030 56,859 (146,171)
Asia/Middle East 193,229 341,096 147,867
Africa 202,122 271,363 69,241
Americas (including Lane) 418,967 289,796 (129,171)
Oceania 54,829 95,432 40,603
Total 2,498,234 2,886,106 387,872

The increase seen in Italy is principally due to: (i) those contracts that made the greatest contribution to production (the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua and Milan - Genoa railway lines and mega lot 3 of the SS-106 state road Jonica for €115.6 million), as well as (ii) the recently acquired contracts (the Enna - Dittaino section of the high-speed Palermo - Catania railway line for €55.6 million and the new Genoa Breakwater for €88.6 million). The latter increase is mostly offset (for €114.2 million) by a similar rise in liabilities to the Group's consortium partners for that contract.

Again in Italy, the subsidiary Fibe S.p.A. collected part of its trade receivables for the USW Campania projects (€20.9 million). Information about management's assessments of the recoverability of the outstanding amounts (€103.9 million) from the Campania public administrations is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

The decrease in the other European countries (non-EU) is mostly due to completion of projects in Turkey (the Integrated Health Campuses in Ankara Etlik and Gaziantep) as well as the impairment losses recognised on the trade receivables from the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor (described later in these notes).

Trade receivables for the projects underway in Saudi Arabia (SANG Villas) and Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project) increased the balance for Asia and the Middle East.

The large reduction in the Americas is mostly a result of the settlement of pending disputes for the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Canada, with collection of the outstanding amounts (the equivalent of approximately €82 million), and the Ruta del Sol Motorway in Colombia.

The increase in trade receivables from unconsolidated group companies and other related parties principally relates to the new Genoa Breakwater (€63.4 million). More information about this item is available in note 39 Related party transactions and the annex attached to these notes on intragroup transactions.

Lastly, the item includes €3.2 million (€15.8 million at 31 December 2021) related to the Group's receivables with consortia and consortium companies (SPEs) that operate by recharging costs and are not included in the consolidation scope. It is shown in the item "Net financial position (debt) with unconsolidated SPEs" as part of net financial position (indebtedness).

Total 424,167 70,498 (138) (5,159) - 23,308 345 513,021

Changes in the loss allowance during the year are as follows:

The loss allowance for trade receivables of €452.4 million mostly refers to amounts due from Venezuelan customers (€324.1 million) and the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor (€65.3 million).

Impairment of the Ukrainian trade receivables

Several years ago, the Group commenced arbitration proceedings (still in place) before the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") in Paris against the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor for the contract to update the Kiev - Kharkiv - Dovzhanskiy section of the M03 Motorway, which the customer unilaterally terminated in August 2016. Based on the arbitration and the competent authorities' decisions, the Group recognised a trade receivable of €67.4 million in its consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021.

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Continuation of the military conflict has increased the risks for Ukraine's economy, public finances and financial stability which could undermine the government's ability to meet its financial commitments.

As a result of this situation, Webuild tested its trade receivables for impairment in line with IFRS 9 given the growing country risk that has emerged due to Ukraine's current political and financial situation.

Management has prudently written off the trade receivables (€65.3 million using the closing rate) at 31 December 2022, leading to the related impact on profit or loss, given the rising concerns about how the war will evolve and its financial repercussions in the second half of the year.

Impairment of the Nigerian trade receivables

As the Nigerian public bodies continue to defer payments and given the country's precarious economic situation, the Group tested its trade receivables and contract assets of €101.8 million (related to work performed in Nigeria) for impairment.

The impairment test was performed in line with the conceptual framework of IFRS 9 simulating various payment scenarios and their probability of occurrence. As a result, the Group impaired the above assets by €3.5 million.

15. Current financial assets, including derivatives

This item comprises:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Loans and receivables - third parties 238,005 351,242 113,237
Loans and receivables - unconsolidated group companies

Derivatives 3,684 2,276 (1,408)
Total 316,925 441,632 124,707

"Loans and receivables - third parties" mostly consist of:

  • loans of €230.1 million granted to non-controlling investors by group companies, mostly for projects in Australia, Italy, Kuwait and Qatar;
  • temporary advances of €42.2 million made by Lane Group for projects carried out with partners in the United States;
  • deposits of €22.7 million lodged with Astaldi Canada Inc.'s trustee in conjunction with collection of the final award for the Muskrat Falls project;
  • €12.2 million for the undue enforcement of performance bonds by the customer for the Orastie Sibiu (Lot 3) contract in Romania. The Court of International Commercial Arbitration attached to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania ("CCIR") announced the final award on 25 February 2021 ordering the customer to return the unfairly enforced amounts. As a result and based on the assessments made with the Group's legal advisors, management deems that the amounts are fully recoverable. More information is available in the "Main risks and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report;
  • net investment in leases of €9.6 million for the COCIV Consortium.

The €113.2 million increase in this item is mostly due to the advances recognised by Lane Group (€42.2 million), the additional loans granted to non-controlling investors by group companies (€32.0 million) and Astaldi Canada Inc.'s financial assets as described above (€22.7 million).

Loans and receivables - unconsolidated group companies and other related parties" are substantially line with the previous year. More information about this item is available in note 39 "Related party transactions" and the annex attached to these notes on intragroup transactions.

Derivatives include the reporting-date fair value of currency hedges that did not meet the criteria for application of hedge accounting for cash flow hedges under the IFRS.

Their fair value was a positive €2.3 million at the reporting date as shown below:

16. Current tax assets and other current tax assets

Current tax assets

This item comprises:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Direct taxes 43,092 17,601 (25,491)
IRAP 2,427 4,141 1,714
Foreign direct taxes 59,189 68,757 9,568
Total 104,708 90,499 (14,209)

The 31 December 2022 balance mainly consists of:

  • direct tax assets for excess taxes paid in previous years, which the Group has correctly claimed for reimbursement and which bear interest;
  • foreign direct taxes for excess taxes paid abroad by the foreign group companies which will be recovered as per the relevant legislation.

Other current tax assets

This item comprises:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
VAT 234,404 214,389 (20,015)
Other indirect taxes 15,056 19,847 4,791
Total 249,460 234,236 (15,224)

VAT mostly relates to Italian contracts with public administrations that the split payment regime74 can be applied to.

17. Other current assets

Other current assets may be analysed as follows:

74 Article 17-ter of Presidential decree no. 633/1972

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Other 271,588 232,442 (39,144)
Advances to suppliers 335,440 385,166 49,726
Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties 71,746 36,150 (35,596)
Prepayments and accrued income 226,282 262,687 36,404
Total 905,056 916,445 11,390

This item includes (i) consideration of €47.6 million due to Fibe S.p.A. for the USW Campania projects, (ii) €33.5 million due to the parent as a result of the enforceable award in its favour for the Aguas del Buenos Aires project in Argentina, and (iii) amounts due from Webuild's partners chiefly for projects being carried out abroad for most of the remainder.

Information on the USW Campania projects is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

Advances to suppliers increased by €49.7 million, mainly due to the greater production output achieved in Italy (the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa and Verona - Padua railway line projects) and the recently acquired contract in Saudi Arabia (Diriyah Square Super Basement).

The item "Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties" decreased by €35.6 million, chiefly in relation to the ongoing projects in Turkey and Romania. More information about this item is available in note 39 "Related party transactions" and the annex attached to these notes on intragroup transactions.

The increase of €36.4 million in prepayments and accrued income to €262.7 million is principally due to insurance premiums and commissions on sureties for recently awarded projects in Italy.

Impairment test

Given that Argentina's significant economic crisis has not abated, Webuild tested its financial assets (€33.5 million) with the Argentine Republic related to the Aguas del Buenos Aires project for impairment again. The impairment test was performed in line with the conceptual framework of IFRS 9 simulating various payment scenarios and their probability of occurrence. It showed that the recoverable amount of the financial assets is consistent with their carrying amount.

18. Cash and cash equivalents

This item may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Cash and cash equivalents 2,370,032 1,921,177 (448,855)

A breakdown by geographical segment is as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Italy 1,199,169 626,831 (572,338)
EU (excluding Italy) 145,063 221,691 76,628

Oceania 195,623 287,056 91,433
Total 2,370,032 1,921,177 (448,855)

The balance includes bank account credit balances at the end of the year and the amounts of cash, cheques and valuables at the registered offices, work sites and foreign branches. Liquidity management is designed to ensure the financial independence of ongoing contracts, considering the structure of the consortia and SPEs, which may limit the availability of financial resources to achievement of the related projects. Liquidity management also considers the existence of constraints to the transfer of currency imposed by certain countries. In this respect, the liquidity in Africa mainly comprises local currency that cannot be exported and is used for the Ethiopian projects.

The statement of cash flows and the section on the Group's net financial position in the Directors' report show the reasons for changes in this item and current account facilities (note 21).

At the reporting date, the cash and cash equivalents attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated SPEs amount to €162.9 million and mainly refer to the subsidiary Pergenova Breakwater (new Genoa Breakwater) (€44.3 million) and Lane Group (€27.1 million).

18.1 Restricted cash and cash equivalents

This item comprises restricted amounts of approximately €13.0 million, including €4.9 million for the Astaldi-Turkerler joint venture in Turkey, €4.8 million for Lane Group and €1.9 million for Webuild's French branch.

19. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups, liabilities directly associated with non-current assets held for sale and profit (loss) from discontinued operations

The item of €0.8 million refers to the Astaldi Honduras division, for which the administrator appointed by the competent authorities in 2019 is completing the procedures to liquidate its assets to satisfy the local creditors.

The large reduction compared to 31 December 2021 is mostly attributable to the sale of the Group's investment in the operator Gaziantep Hastane Saglik Hizmetleri Isletme ve Yatirim A.S. (Integrated Health Campus in Gaziantep in Turkey).

Loss from discontinued operations

This item shows the results of the foreign divisions headed by the former Astaldi Group which do not comply with the Group's commercial and industrial strategies.

Industrial operations in these countries have been discontinued for some time and the administrative procedures for the definitive closure of the relevant reporting entities are currently nearing completion.

The loss from discontinued operations of €18.0 million for 2022 mostly relates to the Astaldi Georgia division. After the ICC award issued in the second quarter of 2022 on the proceedings commenced by the customer about the works to upgrade the E60 Zemo Osiauri - Chumateleti Motorway, the Group revised the previous estimates about the outcome of the arbitration to reflect its unexpected developments. More information is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

20.1 Share capital

At 31 December 2022, the parent's share capital continues to amount to €600,000,000 and consists of 1,002,425,395 shares, comprising 1,000,809,904 ordinary shares (including 4,999,867 ordinary shares to be assigned to potential creditors) and 1,615,491 savings shares, all without a nominal amount.

During the year, the number of shares increased due to the assigning of 125,402 ordinary shares to creditors not provided for and the issue of 740,056 ordinary shares after anti-dilutive warrants were exercised.

Financial instruments giving the right to new shares

During their extraordinary meeting of 30 April 2021 as part of their resolutions about the partial proportionate demerger of the former Astaldi (now Astaris) to Webuild (the "demerger"), Webuild's shareholders resolved, inter alia:

• to issue 80,738,448 2021-2030 Webuild warrants (ISIN IT0005454423) to the holders of ordinary Webuild shares in proportion to the shares held by them on the open market date before the demerger's effectiveness date (i.e., 30 July 2021) (the "anti-dilutive warrants"), as well as (b) to authorise the board of directors to issue and assign, under the terms and conditions of the anti-dilutive warrants regulation, in more than one instalment, a maximum of 80,738,448 ordinary Webuild shares, without a nominal amount, reserved for the exercise of (free) subscription rights by the anti-dilutive warrant holders. The anti-dilutive warrants were assigned free of charge on a dematerialised basis, using a ratio of 0.090496435 warrants for

<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->

every ordinary Webuild share held at that date. During 2022, 740,056 anti-dilutive warrants were exercised leading to the assigning of 740,056 ordinary Webuild shares to the warrant holders;

  • (a) to issue 15,223,311 warrants (the "lender warrants") to Unicredit S.p.A., Intesa San Paolo S.p.A., Sace S.p.A., BNP Paribas SA Succursale Italia and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. (the "lending banks") to replace, due to the demerger, a maximum of 74,991,680 Astaldi S.p.A. 2020-2023 warrants issued as part of the loan agreements signed on 2 August 2020 by Astaldi and its lending banks which gave them the right to subscribe ordinary Webuild shares in the ratio of one share to every lender warrant before 5 July 2023, as well as (b) to authorise the board of directors to issue and assign, under the terms and conditions set out in the lender warrants' regulation, in more than one instalment, a maximum of 15,223,311 ordinary Webuild shares, without a nominal amount, reserved for the exercise (at a unit price of €1.133 per share) of the above lender warrants;
  • to authorise the board of directors to issue, in more than one instalment and before 31 August 2030, a maximum of 8,826,087 ordinary shares, without a nominal amount, to be reserved to the creditors not provided for (as defined in the demerger proposal). They will have the right to receive Webuild shares using: (a) the ratio established by Astaldi's composition with creditors plan for the exchange of claims with shares (i.e., 12.493 Astaldi shares for each €100.00 of claims), and (b) the assignment ratio (i.e., 203 Webuild shares to every 1,000 Astaldi shares). In 2022, 125,402 ordinary Webuild shares were issued and assigned to the creditors not provided for.

Changes of the year in the different equity items are summarised in the relevant schedule of the consolidated financial statements.

20.2 Share premium reserve

This item mainly reflects the parent's capital increase of 12 November 2019, net of utilisations in 2021 as per the resolution passed by the parent's shareholders in their meeting of 30 April 2021.

20.3 Other reserves

Legal reserve

At the reporting date, the legal reserve equals one fifth of the parent's share capital as required by article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.

Reserve for share capital increase related charges

At 31 December 2022, this reserve has a negative balance of €11.0 million.

It includes the costs for the parent's capital increases carried out on 12 November 2019 (€7.0 million) and in 2014 (€4 million).

Treasury shares

Reserve for treasury shares

During their ordinary meeting of 28 April 2022, the parent's shareholders authorised the board of directors to adopt a treasury share repurchase plan as per the terms and methods approved by them (reference is made to the "Shareholders' meeting" part of the "Governance" section on the parent's website www.webuildgroup.com). At the reporting date, the parent had 17,224,895 treasury shares for €28,074,755.61.

Reserve for treasury shares held by group companies

After completion and as a result of the demerger, the parent integrated the reserve for treasury shares to include its shares issued in November 2021 to Astaldi's shareholders and assigned to the group companies that received new Astaldi shares in 2020 in exchange for their unsecured claims (the "capital increase for conversion

purposes"). Considering the above and the assignment ratio defined for the demerger, the group companies held 3,485,987 Webuild shares at the reporting date, equal to approximately €6.839 million.

LTI reserve

The LTI (long term incentive plan) reserve includes the fair value of the long-term incentive plan introduced in 2020. On 11 March 2020, the board of directors of Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) approved the guidelines and draft regulation for an incentive plan open to certain employees, consultants and/or directors with special duties either with the parent and/or its direct or indirect subsidiaries as per article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code (the "Salini Impregilo 2020-2022 performance share plan" or the "plan"), subsequently approved by the company's shareholders. On 28 July 2022, based on the proposals made by the compensating and nominating committee, the parent's board of directors set the maximum number of ordinary Webuild shares to service the plan as 8,653,525 (the maximum number of ordinary Webuild shares that can be assigned if the plan performance objectives are met or exceeded by 120%).

The reserve amounts to approximately €12.1 million at the reporting date.

Inflation reserve

This reserve was set up to comply with IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for the preparation of the financial statements of the Argentine group companies that use the Argentine peso as their functional currency.

IFRS 2 reserve

This reserve comprises (i) the fair value (€26.9 million) of the shares that could be issued – under the former Astaldi's authorised composition with creditors procedure and considering the parent's commitments taken on as part of the demerger - in exchange for potential unsecured claims (i.e., provisions for risks), and (ii) the fair value (€44.5 million) of the lender warrants.

20.4 Other comprehensive expense

The main change in this item relates to the exchange gains arising from the US dollar's appreciation, especially in relation to Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. and Lane Group, partly offset by the exchange losses recognised by the entities that operate using the Argentine peso.

20.5 Retained earnings

The decrease in retained earnings is mostly due to the covering of the loss for 2021 and the acquisition of noncontrolling interests in DIRPA 2 S.C. a. r.l., Cossi Costruzioni S.p.A., Mosconi S.r.l. and Infraflegrea Progetto S.p.A..

20.6 Resolution of the parent's shareholders on the allocation of the loss for 2021

In their meeting held on 28 April 2022, the parent's shareholders resolved to:

  • cover the loss of €245,727,865.15 shown in the 2021 separate financial statements by using the parent's distributable reserves;
  • distribute a dividend of €0.055, gross of the withholding tax required by law, to each ordinary share and savings shares with dividend rights at the ex-dividend date (for a total of €54,217,104.98 at the payment date).

20.7 Share capital and reserves attributable to non-controlling interests

Share capital and reserves attributable to non-controlling interests increased due to the profit for the year (€6.6 million) and other comprehensive income (€4.0 million) as well as the capital injections by their owners to Galfar

Salini Impregilo Cimolai Joint Venture (Al Khor Stadium project) and Lane Group entities (Lane Security Paving Joint Venture and Lane Cabot Yard Joint Venture).

20.8 Consolidated group companies with material non-controlling interests

26. Post-employment benefits and other employee benefits

Employee benefits mostly consist of the Italian post-employment benefits governed by article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code and the defined benefit plans for Lane Group's full-time employees.

Post-employment benefits governed by article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code

Plan characteristics

At 31 December 2006, the Italian post-employment benefits (TFR) qualified as a defined benefit plan. Law no. 296 of 27 December 2006 (the 2007 Finance Act) and related implementing decrees issued in early 2007 introduced changes, according to which companies with at least 50 employees now classify the TFR as a defined benefit plan solely with reference to the benefits vested until before 1 January 2007 (if not paid at the reporting date), while those accrued after that date are to be classified as part of a defined contribution plan.

Accordingly, the liability for post-employment benefits recognised in the Group's statement of financial position, net of any advances paid, reflects (i) for companies with more than 50 employees, the residual obligation for the Group for the benefits vested up to 31 December 2006 that will be paid when the employees leave the company, and (ii) for the other companies, the accumulated benefits accrued by employees over their employment term, recognised on an accruals basis on the basis of the service necessary to accrue them.

Main assumptions

The main assumptions used for the actuarial estimate of the TFR at the reporting date are:

  • turnover rate: 7.25%;
  • advance payment rate: 3%;
  • inflation rate: 2.3%.

The Group has used the Eurocomposite AA index, which has an average financial duration in line with the fund being valued, to calculate the discount rate.

Other defined benefit plans

The item mainly consists of the liability for Lane Group's defined benefit plan for its full-time employees. This liability is calculated on the basis of the employees' years of service and remuneration and is subjected to an actuarial valuation. Lane Group also provides healthcare cover to retired employees, hired before 31 December 1992 with at least 20 years of service.

Composition and changes in employee benefits

Management availed of the services of leading independent experts to perform the actuarial calculation of the employee benefits.

Lane Construction Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Through its US subsidiary Lane Industries Inc., the Group contributes to a pension plan that qualifies as a defined benefit plan, The Lane Construction Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan, which pays benefits to employees or former employees who met the related vesting conditions when they retire. The subsidiary also pays benefits to a supplementary pension plan for some senior executives. In addition, it provides employees who have reached retirement age with healthcare benefits. These employees were hired before 31 December 1992 and reached retirement age after at least 20 years' service and are also beneficiaries of The Lane Construction Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

A reconciliation between the opening balance and the closing balance of the Group's liability for employee benefits and the plan assets is as follows:

(€'000) Liability for

Expected rate of return on plan assets 4.90% 2.71% N/A N/A
Salary increase rate 3.50% N/A N/A N/A

The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is calculated based on the investments' performance and the plan asset mix over the period the assets are expected to increase in value before final payment.

Assumptions about the rise in healthcare service costs are set out below.

31 December 2021 31 December 2022
Annual growth rate 5.61% 5.32%
Ultimate trend rate 4.42% 4.42%

Interest-bearing deposits 913 0.50% 937 0.69%
Total 183,216 100.00% 135,875 100.00%

The plan assets are selected to ensure a combination of returns and growth opportunity using a prudent investment strategy. Investments usually include around 82% in fixed income funds, about 9% in large and small cap equity investments, approximately 7% in international equities and about 2% in diversified hedge funds. The subsidiaries' management regularly revises its objectives and strategies.

27. Provisions for risks

These provisions are summarised in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Provisions for risks on equity investments 85,257 95,383 10,125
Other provisions 137,334 103,496 (33,838)
Total 222,591 198,879 (23,713)

The provisions for risks on equity investments relate to the group's legal obligations to cover its investees' losses exceeding their equities. The increase is attributable to the joint ventures of Lane Group.

Other provisions comprise:

31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
(€'000)
Provisions set up by entities in liquidation 8,665 8,553 (112)
USW Campania projects 27,165 25,031 (2,134)
Provision for ongoing litigation 18,548 15,292 (3,256)
Provisions for risks relating to ongoing contracts 56,188 22,529 (33,659)
Other 26,767 32,091 5,324
Total 137,334 103,496 (33,838)

The other provisions are briefly commented on below:

  • the provisions set up by entities in liquidation include accruals made for probable charges related to the closing of contracts and possible developments in ongoing litigation;
  • the provision for the USW Campania projects mainly consists of the estimated potential costs for the environmental remediation. The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report includes a description of the litigation and risks related to the USW Campania projects;
  • the provision for ongoing litigation mostly relates to litigation in Canada and Europe;
  • in accordance with paragraphs 66-69 of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, the provisions for risks relating to ongoing contracts cover the estimated costs to fulfil certain onerous contracts, mainly in Italy, Poland and Chile. The decrease in 2022 is mostly related to contracts in the US and Poland, as well as the disengagement from the EPC contract for the Integrated Health Campus in Gaziantep, Turkey;
  • "Other" mainly relates to additional probable obligations recognised in connection with third party claims and group companies' commitments, chiefly in Italy and the US.

Net utilisations of €32.8 million mostly refer to the updating of valuations about the provisions for risks relating to ongoing contracts, as mentioned earlier.

More information is available in the section on the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" in the Directors' report.

28. Trade payables

This item is made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Third parties 3,062,060 3,649,654 587,594
Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties 146,711 242,075 95,364
Total 3,208,770 3,891,729 682,959

The increase of €587.6 million in trade payables to third parties is mainly due to the contracts that contributed the most to revenue, namely, in Italy, the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua (€199.7 million) and Naples - Bari (€47.7 million) railway line projects, in Australia, the SLC Snowy Hydro J.V. contract (€36.7 million), in Ethiopia (€44.7 million) and in Saudi Arabia, the subsidiary Salini Saudi Arabia Company Ltd (€94.6 million). Moreover, in Italy, trade payables to consortium partners for the new high-speed Palermo-Catania-Messina railway line project and the new Genoa Breakwater increased by €55.6 million and €88.9 million, respectively (see note 14 on trade receivables).

The increase in trade payables to unconsolidated group companies and other related parties is mainly due to the new Genoa Breakwater (€63.4 million) and the Brenner Base Tunnel (Lot Mules 2-3) (€36.7 million). Reference should be made to note 39 "Related party transactions" and the disclosures on intragroup transactions in these notes for additional details of this item.

At 31 December 2022 and 2021, the item does not include any amounts due to consortia and consortia companies (SPEs) that operate by recharging costs and are not included in the consolidation scope.

29. Current tax liabilities and other current tax liabilities

29.1 Current tax liabilities

Current tax liabilities are made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
IRES 4,735 4,430 (305)
IRAP 7,667 13,832 6,165
Foreign taxes 157,956 67,072 (90,884)
Total 170,358 85,334 (85,024)

The decrease in foreign taxes is mostly due to Ethiopia. In 2021, in addition to the ordinary taxes on income generated in this country, the Ethiopian branch was affected by an assessment for the higher corporate income taxes challenged by the local tax authorities (ERCA) for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

29. 2 Other current tax liabilities

Other current tax liabilities are broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
VAT 66,265 65,333 (932)
Other indirect taxes 34,521 24,848 (9,673)
Total 100,786 90,181 (10,605)

30. Other current liabilities

Other current liabilities are made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
State bodies 33,288 33,288 -
Other liabilities 175,789 232,656 56,867

Compensation and compulsory purchases 109,745 85,145 (24,600)
Accrued expenses and deferred income 35,703 47,746 12,043
Total 565,421 620,649 55,228

"State bodies" (€33.3 million) entirely relate to the transactions with the commissioner, the provincial authorities and municipalities of Campania in connection with the USW Campania projects. Reference should be made to the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report for more information about the complicated situation surrounding the USW Campania projects.

"Other liabilities" of €232.7 million (€175.8 million at 31 December 2021) increased by approximately €56.9 million, mostly due to the amounts received prior to the definitive settlement of certain pending disputes relating to the USW Campania projects (€47.1 million).

In addition to that mentioned above about the USW Campania projects, the reporting-date balance of this item includes liabilities to the customers of some projects in Poland (about €30 million) and additional domestic liabilities, mainly attributable to commissions on contractual sureties, insurance premiums and other residual items of recently-awarded contracts (approximately €85 million).

Reference should be made to note 39 "Related party transactions" and the annex on intragroup transactions at the end of these notes for additional details of liabilities to unconsolidated group companies and other related parties.

"Compensation and compulsory purchases" include €81.4 million (€105.7 million at 31 December 2021) related to the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua railway line contract.

31. Guarantees, commitments, risks and contingent liabilities

31.1 Guarantees and commitments

The key guarantees given by the Group are set out below:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022
Contractual sureties 18,666,478 20,265,418
Sureties for bank loans 175,666 106,332
Sureties for export credit 6,339 5,829
Other 1,998,930 2,206,773
Total 20,847,413 22,584,352

Contractual sureties are given to customers as performance bonds, to guarantee advances and retentions for all ongoing contracts or involvement in tenders. Of the balance, €8,117.1 million (€6,522.0 million at 31 December 2021) refers to sureties given directly by the Lane Group.

Sureties granted in favour of associates and joint ventures total €1,459.7 million (€1,648.9 million at 31 December 2021).

31.2 Collateral

Collateral relates to a lien on the shares of an SPE (€13.3 million).

31.3 Tax disputes

Webuild S.p.A.

With respect to the principal disputes with the tax authorities:

  • the Supreme Court hearing was held on 17 January 2020 to discuss the reimbursement of tax assets with a nominal amount of €12.3 million plus interest acquired from third parties as part of previous non-recurring transactions. The court quashed the second level ruling ordering the case to be transferred to the Regional Tax Commission. The parent filed a petition for the resumption of the hearing within the legal term. Since an out-of-court settlement was reached with the tax authorities, which provides for the reimbursement of €9.3 million plus interest of €2.4 million, the parent filed an application for the dismissal of the case on 18 November 2022;
  • after their tax inspection into 2015, the tax authorities notified the Constructor M2 Lima consortium of an assessment notice claiming approximately €15.9 million. The main allegation made by the local tax authorities (SUNAT) is due to a different interpretation of the accounting treatment of revenue from contracts with customers for work carried out under the IFRS. The parent's investment in the consortium is 25.5%, which means the portion of assessed tax attributable to it is about €4.06 million. Since the consortium deems that the accounting treatment it adopted is correct, it challenged the above assessment notice within the term prescribed by the local law.

Moreover, during the year, the Ethiopian tax authorities carried out a tax audit at the Group's Ethiopian branch, which was followed by an assessment notice. After arduous discussions, the Group reached an agreement with the tax authorities, whereby the tax authorities forgave fines and interest while the group accepted to pay the assessed taxes. These will be paid in instalments in local currency and amount to the equivalent of roughly €17 million, including €12 million relating to deductible temporary differences.

Furthermore, considering the demerger and the principal disputes of the former Astaldi S.p.A. (now Astaris) with the tax authorities:

• In 2016, the El Salvadoran branch received an assessment notice from the local tax authorities relating to its tax base and related income taxes for 2012. In this assessment, the local tax authorities alleged: (i) undeclared revenue of USD23.5 million (the equivalent of approximately €22 million) for the proceeds arising from the out-of-court agreement settling the dispute related to the El Chaparral hydroelectric power plant project, (ii) interest income of USD0.8 million (the equivalent of about €0.8 million) allegedly accrued on intragroup loans, (iii) revenue and income reported as tax-exempt or non-taxable amounting to USD13.4 million (the equivalent of roughly €12.6 million), and (iv) costs of USD15.4 million (the equivalent of approximately €14.4 million) whose deductibility was contested. As a result, the local tax authorities recalculated the income tax due by the branch for 2012 and assessed higher taxes of USD9.1 million (the equivalent of approximately €8.5 million), plus fines and interest. With the assistance of its advisors, the branch has commenced the procedures to challenge all assessments.

In Italy:

• on 28 August 2020, the Italian tax authorities notified Astaldi of a recovery notice for alleged undue offsetting of excess VAT transferred by its subsidiaries under the 2017 group VAT scheme. The assessed amount is €4.8 million, plus fines and interest of €1.4 million and €0.5 million, respectively. The recalculation also led to the disallowance of both the reimbursement and the authorisation to carry forward. Astaldi challenged both the recovery notice and the disallowance of the reimbursement in court. The Rome Provincial Tax Commission allowed Astaldi's appeal about the recovery notice and the tax authorities presented a counter-appeal on 18 November 2022. With respect to the second appeal, the second level ruling was unfavourable to the group company which still has time to resort to the Supreme Court. Should it lose the case, it will carry forward a higher amount of VAT assets and will solely bear the related fines and interest.

With respect to the above pending disputes, after consulting its legal advisors, Webuild believes that it has acted correctly and deems that the risk of an adverse ruling is not probable. When it deemed it appropriate to settle the dispute, as explained in more detail, it did so to avail of the various options provided for by the relevant legislation, such as the voluntary settlement procedure for the pending tax disputes or the positions assigned to the tax collection agency, the court-ordered settlement procedure and the mutually-agreed settlement procedure.

As disclosed in previous reports, Fibe has a pending dispute about the local property tax (ICI) on the Acerra waste-to-energy plant.

On 7 March 2018, Fibe applied for the procedure for voluntary settlement procedure of the positions assigned to the tax collection agency as per article 1 of Decree law no. 148/2017 converted with modifications into Law no. 172/2017.

Another tax dispute relates to the assessment notice for 2003 IREPG, IRAP and VAT issued by the tax authorities about assessed taxes of €6.5 million (for undue deduction of costs contrary to the principle of pertinence/accruals basis and undue deduction of VAT as a result of the application of a higher-than-allowed rate).

The Supreme Court has referred the dispute to the Campania Regional Tax Commission, before which the subsidiary duly resumed the proceeding.

With respect to the above pending dispute, after consulting its legal advisors, the subsidiary believes that it has acted correctly and deems that the risk of an adverse ruling is not probable. When it deemed it appropriate to settle the dispute, as explained earlier in more detail, it did so to avail of the various options provided for by the relevant legislation, such as the voluntary settlement procedure for the pending tax disputes or the positions assigned to the tax collection agency, the court-ordered settlement procedure and the mutually-agreed settlement procedure.

COMERI S.p.A.

In 2015, the tax authorities notified COMERI of the assessment notice that repeated the same issues raised in a preliminary assessment report issued by the tax police. The group company promptly appealed against the above-mentioned notice and concurrently started discussions with the tax authorities to obtain the administrative cancellation of the assessment. The Rome Provincial Tax Commission allowed the appeal with ruling no. 29543/50/16 handed down on 17 November 2016 and filed on 20 December 2016. The Lazio Regional Tax Commission reviewed the first level hearing on 14 April 2021 and accepted the tax authorities' appeal with its ruling no. 1902/17/2021. The group company promptly appealed this second level ruling before the Supreme Court. The above preliminary assessment report challenges the tax treatment of the out-of-court agreement signed by the group company and ANAS S.p.A. on 3 May 2010 to settle the technical claims recognised in the work site's accounts up to 31 December 2008. The tax police had mistakenly considered the amounts as additional consideration rather than compensation for damage, therefore applying VAT at 20%. Furthermore, COMERI had previously submitted the out-of-court agreement in question to the tax authorities on 15 June 2010, which requested and accepted payment of the proportional registration tax on the above claims, confirming, by conduct, that they should be subject to indirect taxes, having considered them to have a compensation nature and being, therefore, VAT-exempt. The tax authorities claimed unpaid VAT of €8.5 million and fines and interest of €10.6 million. Supported by the opinion of its advisors, the group company believes that the risk of losing the case is remote. The group company is considering whether to voluntary agree to the settlement procedure for the tax disputes pending before the Supreme Court as per article 1.186-202 of Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget), whereby the dispute is settled by solely paying the assessed tax, which in this case the group company would recharge to its customer.

Obrainsa - Astaldi consortium

In August 2021, as the result of an audit commenced by the local tax authorities in 2019, Obrainsa - Astaldi consortium (Peru) received an assessment notice disallowing the deduction of some costs. The amount in question is SOL38.9 million (the equivalent of roughly €9.4 million), of which Astaris' share is SOL19.9 million (the equivalent of roughly €4.8 million) based on its 51% interest in the consortium.

Assisted by its local advisors, the consortium has activated the relevant procedures to challenge the notice and present its reasons supporting the correctness of its approach. Considering the current progress of the dispute, the consortium believes that the risk of losing it is possible, but not probable.

32.2 Risk management

32.2.1 Currency risk

The Group's international presence entails its exposure to currency risk arising from fluctuations in the value of trade and financial transactions in foreign currencies.

Currency risk at 31 December 2022 mainly related to the following currencies:

2022
(€m) -5% +5%
Australian dollar 15.71 (14.22)
US dollar 8.84 (8.00)
Qatari Riyal 3.01 (2.72)
Colombian Peso 2.75 (2.48)
Polish Zloty 2.54 (2.30)
Saudi Riyal (2.77) 2.50

The above table shows the results of the sensitivity analysis, which considers a 5% increase or decrease in the exchange rates compared to the actual exchange rates at 31 December 2022 to reflect the potential effects on comprehensive income.

This analysis excludes the effects of the translation of the equity of associates or joint ventures measured using the equity method with a functional currency other than the Euro.

32.2.2 Interest rate risk

Considering the Group's predominantly fixed rate debt structure in 2022, had interest rates increased or decreased by an average 75 bps in 2022, the profit before tax would have been respectively smaller or greater by a maximum of €3.5 million, assuming that all other variables remained constant and without considering cash and cash equivalents.

32.2.3 Credit risk

Credit risk is that deriving from the Group's exposure to potential losses arising from the customers' (which are mostly governments or state bodies) non-compliance with their obligations.

Management of this risk is complex, starting as early as the assessment of bids to be presented, through a careful analysis of the characteristics of the countries where the related activities would be carried out and the customers, which are usually state or similar bodies, requesting the bid.

Therefore, this risk can be essentially assimilated to the country risk. An analysis of this risk based on the age of the outstanding amounts is not very meaningful, since the receivables should be assessed together with the related working capital items, especially those reflecting the net exposure to customers (contract assets and liabilities) in relation to contract work in progress as a whole.

A breakdown of working capital by geographical segment is set out below:

31 December 2021 31 December 2022
(€'000)
Italy (1,963,368) (1,845,492)
EU (excluding Italy) 637,208 703,768
Other European (non-EU) countries (51,379) (86,950)
Asia/Middle East 652,406 487,710
Africa 449,195 540,011
Americas (including Lane) (98,155) 30,592
Oceania (430,550) (405,603)
Total (804,643) (575,964)

The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report provides information about country risk.

32.2.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk derives from the risk that the financial resources necessary to meet obligations may not be available to the Group at the agreed terms and deadlines.

The Group's strategy aims at ensuring that each ongoing contract is financially independent, considering the structure of the consortia and SPEs, which may limit the availability of financial resources to achievement of the related projects. Liquidity management also considers the existence of constraints to the transfer of currency imposed by certain countries.

A breakdown of financial liabilities by composition and due date (based on undiscounted future cash flows) is set out below:

(€'000) 31 December 2023 31 December 2024 31 December 2025 After 2025 Total
Current account facilities 2,452 - - - 2,452
Bonds 77,375 575,998 818,614 683,625 2,155,612
Bank loans and borrowings 268,695 147,674 125,934 12,076 554,379
Lease liabilities 75,612 40,360 16,639 17,986 150,597
Gross financial liabilities 424,134 764,032 961,187 713,687 2,863,040
Trade payables 3,891,729 - - - 3,891,729
Total 4,315,863 764,032 961,187 713,687 6,754,768

Future interest has been estimated based on the market interest rates at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, summarised in the notes.

Liquidity risk management is mainly based on maintaining a balanced financial position. This strategy is pursued by each of the Group's operating companies.

Loans and borrowings (principal) and trade payables (net of advances) falling due before 31 March 2023 are compared with the cash and cash equivalents that can be used to meet such obligations in the table below:

(€'000) Financial commitments
due before

Difference
Webuild (head office and branches) 255,172 512,787 257,615
Subsidiaries 692,671 470,741 (221,930)
SPEs 989,030 430,311 (558,719)
Joint operations 406,941 494,486 87,545
Total 2,343,814 1,908,325 (435,489)

(*) excluding amounts due to group companies.

(**) net of restricted liquidity.

At the date of preparation of this report, the Group is not exposed to potential financial stress scenarios. It has cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facilities sufficient to meet its short-term requirements.

32.2.5 Fair value measurement hierarchy

IFRS 7 requires that the fair value of financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used to determine fair value. There are three different levels:

  • Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial instruments recognised by the Group at fair value are classified at the following levels:

(€'000) Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Derivative assets 15 - 2,276 -
Total - 2,276 -

There were no movements from Level 1 to Level 2 during the year or vice versa.

Total 5,977,821 100% 7,656,006 100%

Revenue from contracts with customers increased by €1,678.2 million (approximately 28.1%) on the previous year.

The main contributors to revenue are:

  • the projects underway in Italy that benefited, inter alia, from the positive effects of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, such as the high-speed/capacity Milan- Genoa, Naples- Bari, Verona - Padua and Palermo- Catania railway lines and the SS-106 state road Jonica mega lot 3;
  • progress on the ongoing large foreign projects including, in particular, in (i) Australia (Snowy 2.0 and North East Link Project), (ii) the US (Lane Group), (iii) Romania (Braila Bridge and Sibiu Pitesti Motorway- Lots 3 and 5), (iv) Norway (Nykirke- Barkaker railway line and Sotra Connection), (v) Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project and GERD), (vi) Saudi Arabia (SANG Villas and Diriyah-Super Basement), (vii) Canada (Hurontario Light Rail Project), (viii) France (Tunnel Euralpin Lyon Turin- TELT- Lot 2), and (ix) Colombia (section 3 of the Ruta del Sol Motorway).

Variable consideration made up 10.6% of revenue from contracts with customers during the year.

The transaction price of ongoing contracts allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations amounts to €39,463.0 million at the reporting date. The Group will recognise this amount as revenue in future periods in line with the available forecasts.

The item includes variable consideration when its realisation is highly probable.

33.2 Other income

A breakdown of other income is given in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Recharged costs 149,885 170,199 20,314
Other income from joint ventures and consortia 112,813 140,983 28,170
Gains on the disposal of non-current assets 16,038 13,237 (2,801)
Insurance compensation 12,218 5,433 (6,785)
Other 151,559 105,296 (46,263)
Total 442,513 435,148 (7,365)

This item is substantially unchanged from the previous year and mainly includes (i) revenue earned on services provided as part of commercial initiatives carried out as a partnership with other sector operators, principally related to the continuation of the ongoing works in Australia, and (ii) the income from the recharging of costs to consortium partners, mostly related to the high speed/capacity Verona - Padua contract, the new ENI offices and operation & maintenance activities for the four Tuscan hospitals.

34. Operating expenses

The item may be broken down as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Purchases 967,545 1,447,185 479,640
Subcontracts 2,098,691 2,343,223 244,532
Services 1,590,648 1,947,645 356,997
Personnel expenses 1,101,920 1,447,605 345,685
Other operating expenses 347,819 322,750 (25,069)
Amortisation, depreciation, provisions and impairment losses 347,427 391,668 44,241
Total 6,454,050 7,900,076 1,446,026

Changes in this item reflect the production trends of the year with greater volumes achieved (see note 33) for projects in Oceania (Australia), Italy, the Americas (US, Canada and Colombia), Europe (Romania, Norway and France), Africa (Ethiopia), and Middle East (Saudi Arabia).

Prices of raw materials rose again in 2022 due to limited supplies, partly caused by the upturn in demand driven by the global economy's recovery. As a result, the Group introduced mitigation measures to contain price increases. Its contracts with customers usually include price adjustment clauses. More information is available in the "Covid-19 and the Russia - Ukraine crisis" section of the Directors' report.

The composition of this item may vary from one year to another, including in relation to the same project and with identical production volumes, due to changes made by management to the industrial operating model. Moreover, as these are large-scale infrastructural works that take several years to complete, resort to normal production factors for any one contract depends on the stage of completion of each one in any given year. These changes may generate significant variations in the percentage of the related cost categories depending on the contract and the year, while not affecting the total percentage of costs of total revenue.

34.1 Purchases

Purchases are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Purchases of raw materials and consumables 985,211 1,489,012 503,801
Change in raw materials and consumables (17,666) (41,826) (24,160)
Total 967,545 1,447,185 479,641

The increase is mostly due to full-scale operation of some contracts in the US (Lane Group), Australia (Snowy 2.0), Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project and GERD), Saudi Arabia (Line 3 of the Riyadh Metro) and Italy (high speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line and the Apice - Irpinia section of the Naples - Bari railway line).

34.2 Subcontracts

Subcontracts are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Subcontracts 2,098,691 2,343,223 244,532
Total 2,098,691 2,343,223 244,532

The increase is chiefly a result of the development of industrial activities on contracts, mostly in the United States (Lane Group), Australia (Snowy 2.0), Italy (high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa and Verona - Padua railway lines), Tagikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project) and Norway (Nykirke - Barkaker railway line).

34.3 Services

Services are broken down below:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation

Other 101,631 149,115 47,484
Total 1,590,648 1,947,646 356,999

The increase in services over the previous year is chiefly due to progress on the Snowy 2.0 project in Australia, the Koysha Hydroelectric and GERD projects in Ethiopia, the Lane Group and the Hurontario Light Rail Project in Canada.

A breakdown of the item "Consultancy and technical services" is as follows":

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Design and engineering services 495,143 628,331 133,188
Construction 140,857 129,795 (11,062)
Legal, administrative and other services 172,668 179,768 7,100
Other 1,485 2,745 1,260
Total 810,154 940,640 130,487

The increase in consultancy and technical services is mostly due to design activities for the Hurontario Light Rail Project in Canada and the Snowy 2.0. and North East Link projects in Australia.

The recharging of costs by consortia relate to works carried out with other sector companies and refer, in particular, to the Brenner Base Tunnel (Lot Mules 2-3) and Line C of the Rome Metro in Italy as well as the projects performed through the Swiss consortia involving the subsidiary CSC Costruzioni S.A..

The increase in leases is mostly due to the continuation of work for certain contracts of the Lane Group, the Snowy 2.0 project in Australia, the Hurontario Light Rail Project in Canada and the I-405 Expressway project in California.

34.4 Personnel expenses

This item is broken down below:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Wages and salaries 813,874 1,078,159 264,285
Social security and pension contributions 188,515 242,816 54,301
Post-employment benefits and other employee benefits 21,625 22,731 1,106
Other 77,906 103,898 25,992
Total 1,101,920 1,447,604 345,684

The increase in personnel expenses is mostly due to the progress made on the Snowy 2.0 contract in Australia, where the complicated nature of the project and the strong production push during the year required greater deployment of the direct workforce. Growth, although more modest, was also seen in Italy, Saudi Arabia and in relation to Lane Group due to the larger volumes produced during the year.

Information about HR management and employment is provided in the "Workforce" section of the Consolidated Non-financial Statement.

The following table shows the breakdown of the Group's workforce by category at year end and the related average number:

31 December 2021 31 December 2022 2021 average 2022 average
Managers 477 463 502 468
White collars 8,518 9,830 8,339 9,593
Blue collars 21,803 25,701 20,991 24,941
Total 30,798 35,994 29,832 35,002

34.5 Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Other operating costs 204,870 112,679 (92,191)
Commissions on sureties 110,306 142,169 31,863
Losses on disposals 6,574 9,300 2,726
Bank charges 7,026 13,305 6,279
Other non-recurring costs 19,043 45,298 26,255
Total 347,819 322,751 (25,068)

The reduction is mostly due to the higher expenses incurred in 2021 for the compulsory purchases of the areas necessary to carry out the works for the high-speed/high capacity Verona - Padua railway line.

Commissions on sureties increased, mainly in Italy (chiefly for the high-speed/high capacity Verona - Padua railway line), Europe (Romania and France) and in relation to Lane Group, due to the rise in guarantee deposits granted by banks.

34.6 Impairment losses, amortisation, depreciation and provisions

34.6.1 Net impairment losses

Net impairment losses of €84.0 million (€27.5 million for the previous year) mostly include the €69.2 million impairment loss on the Group's overall exposure (trade receivables and other assets) in Ukraine, as well as on certain assets in Poland and Nigeria.

Note 14 provides more information about the impairment of the Group's exposure with the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor.

34.6.2 Amortisation and depreciation

Amortisation and depreciation are broken down below:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 85,321 173,901 88,580
Depreciation of right-of-use assets 81,655 74,920 (6,735)
Amortisation of contract costs 131,088 90,346 (40,742)
Amortisation of rights to infrastructure under concession 1,335 325 (1,010)
Amortisation of intangible assets 851 936 85
Total 300,250 340,428 40,178

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment increased by €88.6 million in the year, mostly related to the Snowy 2.0 project in Australia where another two TBMs were placed in service.

Amortisation of contract costs includes €69.5 million (€93.7 million in 2021) for the EPC order backlog recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi.

34.6.3 Provisions

Provisions of €32.8 million (€19.7 million in 2021) mainly relate to utilisations for: (i) onerous contracts in the United States (Lane Group) and Poland, and (ii) the disengagement from the EPC contract for the Integrated Health Campus in Gaziantep, Turkey.

35. Net financing costs

35.1 Financial income

Financial income is broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Interest and other financial income 70,362 94,146 23,784
- Other 47,824 56,318 8,494
- Interest on trade receivables 18,132 26,120 7,988

Gains on securities 1,012 3,259 2,247
Total 87,537 119,084 31,547

The increase in financial income is mostly due to: (i) the prior year income from the discharging of debts of €18.0 million, recognised after authorisation of the composition with creditors procedure for Afragola FS S.C.a.r.l. in March, and (ii) the interest of €11.0 million collected after completion of the proceedings begun before the Bucharest Chamber of Commerce about Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania.

35.2 Financial expense

Financial expense is broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation

Total (190,326) (212,642) (22,316)

The €22.3 million increase in financial expense is mostly due to: (i) the sustainability-linked notes issued, (ii) the floating-rate financial indebtedness, as a result of the rise in interest rates at international level, and (iii) the interest on tax liabilities (€14.2 million) following the parent's settlement of some tax disputes.

35.3 Net exchange gains

Net exchange gains of €20.4 million mostly relate to the Euro's performance against the US dollar, the Ethiopian birr and the Argentine peso.

36. Net losses on equity investments

Net losses on equity investments are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation

IRAP 10,563 19,244 8,681
Total 133,629 76,290 (57,339)

The Group's income taxes for the year are mainly affected by permanent differences, partly offset by the recovery of foreign taxes, following the occurrence of the conditions provided for by legislation governing their recovery.

An analysis and reconciliation of the theoretical income tax rate, calculated under Italian tax legislation, and the effective tax rate are set out below:

Income taxes

2021 2022

38. Earnings (loss) per share

The calculation of earnings (loss) per share is shown in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022
Profit (loss) from continuing operations (278,998) 34,502
Non-controlling interests (26,183) (6,637)
Profit (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the owners of the parent (305,181) 27,866
Profit (loss) from discontinued operations (278,766) 16,530
Non-controlling interests (26,183) (6,637)
Profit (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to the owners of the parent (304,949) 9,893
Profit earmarked for 1,615 thousand savings shares 588 588
Average outstanding ordinary shares 931,491 980,686
Diluting effect - 15,223
Average number of diluted shares 933,106 995,909
(Euro per share)
Basic earnings (loss) per share (from continuing operations) (0.33) 0.03
Basic earnings (loss) per share (from continuing and discontinued operations) (0.33) 0.01
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (from continuing operations) (0.33) 0.03
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (from continuing and discontinued operations) (0.33) 0.01

Note 20 "Equity" provides information on the weighted average number of shares used to calculate the earnings (loss) per share.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the year attributable to the owners of the parent by the weighted average of the parent's outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares, increased by the weighted average potential shares that may be issued to service the lender warrants.

39. Related party transactions

Related party transactions carried out during the year involved the following counterparties:

  • directors, statutory auditors and key management personnel, solely related to the contracts regulating their positions within Webuild Group;
  • associates and joint arrangements; these transactions mainly relate to:
    • o commercial assistance with purchases and procurement of services necessary to carry out work on contracts, contracting and subcontracting;
    • o services (technical, organisational, legal and administrative), carried out at centralised level;
    • o financial transactions, namely loans and joint current accounts as part of cash pooling transactions and guarantees given on behalf of group companies;

Most of the Group's production is carried out through SPEs, set up with other partners that have participated with Webuild S.p.A. in calls for tenders. The SPEs carry out the related contracts on behalf of their partners. These transactions refer to revenue and costs for design and similar activities, incurred when presenting bids and over the contracts' term. A significant number of the transactions with group companies are with consortia, consortium companies and similar companies that operate by recharging costs and revenue as per their by-laws. Therefore, the intragroup relationship is substantially represented by the group companies' relationships with unrelated parties.

All the above transactions are part of the Group's normal business activities given that, in order to complete its contracts, Webuild mostly operates through SPEs.

Transactions are carried out with associates and joint arrangements in the interests of Webuild, aimed at building on existing synergies in the Group in terms of production and sales integration, efficient use of existing skills, streamlining of centralised structures and financial resources. These transactions are regulated by specific contracts and are carried out on an arm's length basis.

Transactions with group companies performed during the year are presented in the "Group entities" column of the table showing related party transactions at the end of this note;

Transactions with Salini Costruttori and its subsidiaries mostly refer to service contracts for tax, administration, corporate and HR assistance.

With respect to the guarantees provided by Salini Costruttori, they are measured using a group intragroup guarantee pricing policy on a case-by-case basis (e.g., considering the reference market, type of

entity/agreement and type of guarantee). This policy complies with the OECD guidelines and is reviewed once a year. The cost to the Group of applying the policy in 2022 is €3.7 million.

Since 2020, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. ("CDP") and its subsidiaries and associates have been included in the list of related parties as CDP has significant influence over Webuild. Transactions with these related parties include in particular the advance payment bonds, performance bonds and other guarantees to customers.

The most significant transactions include:

  • subcontracting contracts agreed in previous years with Fincantieri for foreign contracts acquired through Astaldi for a total cost of €10.7 million for 2022;
  • activities performed by Terna for a cost of €13.4 million related to the resolution of interference issues for high-speed contracts in Italy.

The above transactions qualify as ordinary transactions agreed at conditions identical to those that would be stipulated on the market or that are standard, based on the parent's related party transactions procedure. Therefore, they are exempt from such procedure.

Significant transactions as defined in the above procedure were not carried out during the year.

1. Reporting entity

Webuild S.p.A. (the "company" or "Webuild") has its registered office in Rozzano (Milan) and is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. Webuild is a global operator specialised in building large complex infrastructure, market leader in Italy and one of the main players on the international stage.

At the date of preparation of these separate financial statements, Webuild S.p.A. is managed and coordinated by Salini Costruttori S.p.A..

2. Basis of preparation – General part

2.1 Statement of compliance with the IFRS

As required by Regulation 1606/2002 issued by the European Parliament and Council, implemented in Italy by Legislative decree no. 38/2005, these separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union.

The company's accounting policies and related changes are detailed in notes 3 and 4.

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

These separate financial statements are prepared in Euros, which is the company's functional and presentation currency. The statement of financial position and the statement of profit or loss are presented in Euros, whereas the amounts in the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows, the statement of changes in equity and these notes are shown in thousands of Euros, unless stated otherwise.

2.3 Authorisation for publication

Webuild S.p.A.'s board of directors authorised the publication of these separate financial statements at its meeting of 16 March 2023.

2.4 Going concern

Webuild has prepared its separate financial statements at 31 December 2022 on a going concern basis. The directors have checked that events that could affect the company's ability to meet its commitments in the near future and, specifically, in the next 12 months do not exist. Preparation of separate financial statements requires management to make judgements and complex estimates about the company's future profitability and financial position, based also on its sector. These complex estimates underpin assumptions about going concern and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and costs. They do not consider non-recurring events that management cannot foresee at the date of preparation of the separate financial statements.

2.5 Basis of presentation

The company's separate financial statements at 31 December 2022 are comprised of the following:

  • statement of financial position;
  • statement of profit or loss;
  • statement of comprehensive income;
  • statement of cash flows;

  • statement of changes in equity;
  • notes.

The company opted to present these separate financial statements in line with previous years as follows:

  • current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities are presented separately in the statement of financial position. Current assets and liabilities are those expected to be realised or extinguished in the company's normal operating cycle, which usually exceeds twelve months. Non-current assets and liabilities include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, financial assets, right-of-use assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefits, deferred tax liabilities and other balances expected to be realised, extinguished, used, sold or settled after the company's normal operating cycle, i.e., more than twelve months after the reporting date;
  • the statement of profit or loss gives a classification of costs by nature and shows the profit or loss before financing income (costs) and gains (losses) on equity investments and income taxes. The profit or loss from continuing operations and the profit or loss from discontinued operations are also presented;
  • the statement of comprehensive income shows all non-owner changes in equity;
  • the statement of cash flows presents the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities separately. The indirect method is used.

2.6 Judgements and complex accounting estimates

Preparation of financial statements and the related notes in accordance with the IFRS requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and financial statements disclosures. The estimates are used, inter alia, to recognise:

  • note 32, contract revenue;
  • note 33.6, any impairment losses on assets;
  • note 33.6, provisions for risks and charges;
  • notes 10 and 36, income taxes;
  • note 33.6, amortisation and depreciation;
  • note 25, employee benefits.

Considering the company's sector, the key estimates are those used to determine contract revenue, including claims for additional consideration, total contract costs and the related stage of completion (see the "Contract assets and liabilities" paragraph of the "Basis of preparation – Significant accounting policies" section). A significant part of the company's activities is typically performed on the basis of contracts which provide that a specific consideration is agreed when the contract is awarded. This implies that the profits on these contracts may undergo change compared to the original estimates depending on the recoverability of greater expenses and/or costs the company may incur during performance of such contracts.

The accounting estimates and significant judgements made by management to prepare these separate financial statements are affected by (i) the current macroeconomic scenario characterised by the lingering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical risks associated with the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and (ii) the risks and opportunities of climate change and the energy transition (these issues are discussed in the Directors' report - Part I, to which reference is made). They may have an impact on the company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

Russia-Ukraine crisis

The company has no ongoing projects in either Russia or Ukraine. Its exposure to these countries solely refers to a trade receivable due to its subsidiary HCE Costruzioni S.p.A. from the Ukrainiane customer Ukravtodor

relating to the contract to upgrade the Kiev - Kharkiv - Dovzhanskiy section of the M03 motorway, which the customer unilaterally terminated in August 2016. The receivable was fully impaired in 2022.

Macroeconomic scenario

Affected by the pandemic and, more recently, by the Russia-Ukraine war, the macroeconomic scenario has lately been characterised by particularly volatile commodity and energy prices, coupled with rising inflation and interest rates.

With reference to the rise in the price of raw materials and energy costs, as already discussed in the Directors' report, the company's approach to its supply chain was to continue the mitigation measures introduced in previous years such as the identification of alternative procurement solutions and the urgent transfers of equipment from one work site to another. It also closely observed the market in order to adapt its purchasing strategies to contain prices.

With respect to contract management, most of the foreign contracts are drawn up in accordance with the international standards of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), which provide for risk mitigation clauses including risks related to changes in the cost of works due to increases in raw materials prices.

The Italian government issued Law no. 91 of 15 July 2022, converting Decree law no. 50 of 17 May 2022 (the Aiuti decree) in the second half of the year. This confirmed the measures to counter the rise in prices of raw materials, fuel and energy. In addition, Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget act), effective from 1 January 2023, confirmed the measures to update price lists and revise the prices of contract work in progress in order to tackle the exceptional hikes in prices expected for 2023. During preparation of the contract budget, Webuild considered the expected commodity and energy price trends.

Lastly, the company also considered the upward interest rate trend when testing its assets (goodwill, equity investments and loans and receivables) for impairment, especially when calculating their WACC. Reference should be made to note 31.2.2 for the potential impact of additional interest rate fluctuations on the company's financial income and expense.

Climate change and energy transition

As mentioned in the Directors' report, transition to a low-carbon economy that is more environmentally sustainable can create risks for companies due to the possible acceleration in the tightening-up of environmental and climate policies, as well as developments in technologies and stakeholders' increasing focus on environmental issues. Moreover, the intensification of climate change phenomena and their impact on the main areas of the value chain are one of the greatest challenges that companies face in the short and medium to long term.

In order to identify and adopt the necessary solutions and tools to (i) minimise the impact of physical risks, and (ii) pre-empt transition risks arising on the transition to a low-carbon economy, Webuild has deemed it appropriate to continue to include ESG risks in the regular group risk assessment performed by the risk management department.

The budgets for the company's and Group's contracts reflect their identified risk mitigation measures and include regular investments to ensure their greater efficiency.

Climate change risks have also been considered when planning the impairment tests of certain assets (goodwill, equity investments and loans and receivables). Given their characteristics and short life cycle (e.g., TBMs for tunnel boring), the company's other assets, specifically the plant, machinery and equipment that the company uses in its ongoing projects, do not bear a significant obsolescence risk.

The utilisation of the up-to-date 2023 budget that reflects the uncertainties as a basis for the judgements is essential. The company's procedures include a planning process split into two parts that take place before the preparation of the annual separate and interim consolidated financial statements. In this case, the 2023 budget was prepared considering the current macroeconomic scenario and the results of the climate risk and opportunity assessment.

Furthermore, fundamental assumptions about the future and other reasons for uncertainty when making the estimates at the reporting date that may lead to material adjustments to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities are described in the specific section of the Directors' report on the main risk factors and uncertainties.

The actual results may differ from those estimated due to uncertainties underlying the assumptions and the conditions on which the estimates are based.

3. Basis of preparation – Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies adopted to draw up these separate financial statements are described below.

3.1 Property, plant and equipment

Webuild has opted to recognise property, plant and equipment at purchase or production cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using rates determined based on the assets' residual possible use. The annual rates are as follows:

Category Depreciation
rate
Land 0%
Buildings 3%
Plant and machinery from 10% to 20%
Industrial and commercial equipment from 25% to 40%
Other assets from 12% to 25%

Leasehold improvements are classified in the different items of property, plant and equipment on the basis of their nature. They are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the relevant asset and the residual term of the lease.

When a substantial period of time is required for an asset to be ready for use, the purchase or production cost includes borrowing costs incurred in the period required to make the asset available for use.

3.2 Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 as described below.

Leases of property, plant and equipment

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.

Webuild as lessee

The company has adopted a single model to recognise and measure all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. It recognises a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments and a right-or-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset.

Right-of-use assets: at the commencement date (the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee), the company recognises the right-of use assets. These are measured at cost, net of accumulated amortisation/depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. The cost of a right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortised/depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of their useful life. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects

that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Right-of-use assets shall be tested for impairment (see the section on impairment of intangible assets).

Lease liabilities: At the commencement date, the company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments include fixed payments (including insubstance fixed payments), less any incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees. They also include the exercise price of a purchase option if the company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising an option to terminate the lease. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised in profit or loss (unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The company uses the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments at the commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the lease liability increases to reflect interest thereon and decreases to reflect the lease payments made. Moreover, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured to reflect any lease modifications or revised in-substance fixed lease payments. It is also remeasured if there is any change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset or if there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments.

The company elected to apply the recognition exemption available for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The former are those relating to machinery and equipment (i.e., those with a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option), while the latter relate to office equipment of a low value. The related lease payments are recognised as costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Webuild as lessor

Operating leases

Leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Lease payments from operating leases are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The company adds initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognises those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Income from unexpected leases is recognised as revenue when it accrues.

Finance leases

The company classifies leases as finance leases based on whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee. If this is the case, at the commencement date, the company recognises the leased assets in its statement of financial position as a financial asset with the lessee at an amount equal to the present value of the investment in the lease discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

3.3 Intangible assets

Other intangible assets with a finite useful life comprise:

  • the order backlog acquired by the company (i.e., contract acquisition costs);
  • patents, trademarks and application software acquired or generated internally.

They are recognised when it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. They are measured at acquisition or development cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Recoverability of their carrying amount is checked by using the criteria set out in the section on "Impairment testing".

3.4. Equity investments

Investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint ventures are measured at cost and tested for impairment when trigger events are identified (see the section on "Impairment testing"). When an impairment loss is required, this is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When the reasons for a previous impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the investment is restated to the extent of its original cost. Impairment gains are recognised in profit or loss.

Under IFRS 9 - Financial instruments, non-controlling interests (i.e., of less than 20%) are considered to be equity investments measured at fair value.

The cost of acquiring investments in consortia and consortium companies is deemed to reflect their fair value.

3.5 Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the investors' right to receive payment arises in line with local ruling legislation.

3.6 Contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue from contracts with customers

Contract assets, contract liabilities and revenue from contracts with customers are recognised and measured in accordance with the guidelines of IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised using the five-step model as set out below:

    1. identify the contract with a customer;
    1. identify the performance obligations in the contract;
    1. determine the transaction price;
    1. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
    1. recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

IFRS 15 also covers contract costs, contract modifications and financial statements disclosures.

The methods used by the company to apply IFRS 15 are summarised below.

Identifying the contract with a customer

The company identifies and measures contracts with customers in line with IFRS 15 after they have been signed and are binding, creating enforceable rights and obligations for the company and the customer. It considers the criteria of IFRS 15.9 set out below to identify the contract:

  • a. the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;
  • b. the entity can identify each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;
  • c. the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;
  • d. the contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the entity's future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract);
  • e. it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Identifying performance obligations and allocating the transaction price

IFRS 15 identifies a performance obligation as a promise included in the contract with a customer to transfer: a) a good and/or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or b) a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.

In the company's case, its performance obligation is usually the entire project. In fact, although the individual performance obligations provided for in the contract are distinct, they are highly interdependent and integrated as the contract provides for the transfer of the entire infrastructure to the customer.

However, certain contractual items include additional services that should be considered as distinct performance obligations. For example, these may be post-completion maintenance services after final inspection and additional or different contract warranties compared to those provided for by law or normal sector practices.

When a contract has more than one performance obligation, the appropriate portion of the contract consideration is allocated to each separate performance obligation pursuant to IFRS 15. The company's contracts with customers usually specify the price of each contractual item (detailed in the contract).

Determining the criteria for satisfaction of the performance obligations and recognition of the revenue

IFRS 15 provides that revenue shall be recognised when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied transferring the promised good or service (or asset) to the customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control.

The company's contracts with customers are usually long-term contracts that include obligations to be satisfied over time based on the progress towards completion and transfer of control of the asset to the customer over time.

The reasons why recognition of revenue over time is considered the correct approach are:

  • the customer controls the asset as it is constructed (the asset is built directly in the area made available by the customer);
  • the asset under construction does not have an alternative use and the company has an enforceable right to payment for its performance completed to date over the contract term.

IFRS 15 requires that progress towards satisfaction of a performance obligation be measured using the method that best represents the transfer of control of the asset under construction to the customer. The objective when measuring progress is to depict an entity's performance in transferring control of goods or services promised to a customer. The company considers its market sector and the complex mix of goods and services it provides when it selects the appropriate revenue recognition method. IFRS 15 provides for two alternative methods to recognise revenue over time:

  • a. output method;
  • b. input method.

Output methods recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to the date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract (e.g., surveys of performance completed to date, milestones reached, units delivered, etc.). Input methods recognise revenue on the basis of the entity's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation (e.g., resources consumed, labour hours expended, costs incurred, time elapsed or machine hours used) relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.

The most appropriate model for measuring revenue based on inputs is the cost to cost method calculated by applying the percentage of completion (the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs) to contract revenue. The calculation of the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs only considers costs that contribute to the actual transfer of control of the goods and/or services. This method allows the objective measurement of the transfer of control to the customer as it considers quantitative variables related to the contract as a whole.

When choosing the appropriate method for measuring the transfer of control to the customer, the company did not adopt the output method (e.g., surveys of performance completed to date) for its ongoing contracts as it considered that although this output method would allow a direct measurement of progress, it would also lead to operating difficulties in managing and monitoring progress considering all the resources necessary to satisfy the obligation.

In addition, an output method would entail the application of criteria and measurement inputs that are not directly observable and the incurring of excessive costs to obtain useful information.

Finally, in the company's reference sector, the objective of contractual outputs (milestones) refers to, inter alia, modulation of cash flows to obtain financial resources useful to perform the contract and the definition of technical specifications of the works and related performance timing.

Determining the transaction price

Given the engineering and operating complexities, the size and length of time involved in completing the contracts, in addition to the fixed consideration agreed in the contract, the transaction price also includes additional consideration, whose conditions need to be assessed. A claim is an amount that the contractor seeks to collect as reimbursement for costs incurred (and/or to be incurred) due to reasons or events that could not be foreseen and are not attributable to the contractor, for more work performed (and/or to be performed) or variations that were not formalised in riders.

The measurement of the additional consideration arising from claims is subject to a high level of uncertainty, given its nature, both in terms of the amounts that the customer will pay and the collection times, which usually depend on the outcome of negotiations between the parties or decisions taken by judicial/arbitration bodies.

This type of consideration is regulated by IFRS 15 as "contract modifications". The standard provides that a contract modification exists if it is approved by the parties to the contract. IFRS 15 provides that a contract modification can be approved in writing, by oral agreement or implied by customary business practices. A contract modification may exist even though the parties to the contract have a dispute about the scope or price (or both) of the modification. The rights to the consideration shall be provided for contractually generating an enforceable right. Once the enforceable right has been identified, in order to recognise the claims and amount of the additional consideration requested, the company applies the guidance about the variable consideration given in IFRS 15. Therefore, in order to adjust the transaction price to include the additional consideration arising from the claims, the company decides whether it is highly probable that the revenue will not be reversed in the future.

The company considers all the relevant aspects and circumstances such as the contract terms, business and negotiating practices of the sector or other supporting evidence when taking the above decision.

Optional works

The consideration for optional works is additional consideration for future works that have not yet been agreed and/or ordered by the customer when it signs the contract.

The consideration for optional works is provided for in the contracts with the customer as it represents potential future work interrelated with the main contract object. However, most contracts provide that the additional works shall be specifically defined and approved by the customer before they start. Otherwise, the contractor does not have an enforceable right to payment for this performance.

Accordingly and based on sector practices, this type of consideration is a contract modification and, under IFRS 15, shall be considered when measuring the transaction price if approved by both parties to the contract. In this case, the enforceable right can only be identified after specific approval or instructions from the customer in line with its customary business practices or operating methods.

Penalties

Contracts with customers may include penalties due to non-compliance with certain contract terms (such as, for example, non-compliance with delivery times).

When the contract penalties are "reasonably expected", the transaction price is reduced accordingly. The company analyses all the indicators available at the reporting date to assess the probability of a contract default that would lead to the application of penalties.

Significant financing component

It is normal practice in the construction and large-scale infrastructure sector that the transaction price for a project (which is usually completed over more than one year) is paid in the form of an advance and subsequent progress billing (based on progress reports).

This method of allocating cash flows is often defined in the calls for tenders. The customer's payment flows (advances and subsequent progress billing) are usually organised to make construction of the project by the contractor feasible, limiting its financial exposure. Constructors in the large-scale infrastructure sector build projects for large amounts of money and the initial outlay is usually high.

The contract advance is used for the following reasons:

  • to finance the initial contract investments and pay the related advances to subcontractors;
  • as a form of guarantee to cover any risks of contractual breach by the customer.

The advance is reabsorbed by the subsequent progress billing in line with the stage of completion of the contract.

Furthermore, the company's operating cycle is generally several years. Therefore, it considers the correct timescale of its works to determine whether its contracts include a significant financing component.

Based on the above, it has not identified significant financing components in the transaction price for the contracts that include changes in the advances or progress billings in line with sector practices and/or of amounts that are suitable as guarantees and have a timeframe in line with the cash flows required to complete the contract.

Losses to complete

IFRS 15 does not specifically cover the accounting treatment of loss-making contracts but refers to IAS 37, which regulates the measurement and classification of onerous contracts. IAS 37 provides that an onerous contract is one in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision when the loss is probable based on the most recent forecasts prepared by management.

The unavoidable costs are all those costs that:

  • are directly related to the contract and increase the performance obligation transferred to the customer;
  • do not include those costs that will be incurred regardless of satisfaction of the performance obligation;
  • cannot be avoided by the company through future actions.

Measurement of any loss-making contracts (the onerous test) is performed at individual performance obligation level. This approach best represents the different contract profits or losses depending on the nature of the goods and services transferred to the customer.

Contract costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

IFRS 15 allows an entity to recognise the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an asset if it expects to recover those costs through the future economic benefits of the contract. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognised as an expense when incurred (costs not explicitly chargeable to the customer). The incremental costs are recognised as an asset (contract costs) and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of control of the goods or services to the customer.

Costs to fulfil a contract

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognises an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  • the costs relate directly to a contract;
  • the costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future;
  • the costs are expected to be recovered.

It is the practice of the company's sector that these costs usually consist of pre-operating costs that are recognised by customers and included in precise contract items or are not explicitly recognised and are covered by the contract profit. Formal recognition of these costs implies that, when they are incurred, control of the asset provided for in the contract is transferred. Therefore, they are recognised as assets and contribute to the stage of completion.

When the contract does not provide for their explicit recognition as per the above three criteria, the preoperating costs are recognised as assets and amortised on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of control of the goods and/or services to the customer.

In addition, IFRS 15 defines all those costs that, by their nature, do not contribute to the stage of completion as, although they are referred to in the contract and can be recovered, they do not contribute to generating or enhancing the resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligations or to transfer of control of the good and/or service to the customer.

Presentation in the separate financial statements

In the statement of financial position, intangible assets include the costs capitalised under the criteria described in this section. Amortisation of these costs is included in the statement of profit or loss item "Amortisation, depreciation and provisions".

Contract assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position items "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities", respectively under assets and liabilities. The classification in line with IFRS 15 depends on the relationship between the company's performance obligation and payment by the customer. These items show the sum of the following components analysed individually for each customer:

(+) Amount of work performed calculated using the cost-to-cost method pursuant to IFRS 15

  • (-) Progress payments and advances received
  • (-) Contract advances

When the total is positive, the net balance is recognised as a "Contract asset". If it is negative, it is recognised as a "Contract liability". When the amounts represent an unconditional right to payment of the consideration, they are recognised as financial assets.

The company's statement of profit or loss includes a revenue item "Revenue from contracts with customers" presented and measured in accordance with IFRS 15. The item "Other income" includes income from transactions other than contracts with customers and is measured in line with other standards or the company's specific accounting policy elections.

3.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with a term of less than three months. This item is shown in the statement of cash flows net of bank borrowings at the reporting date.

3.8 Financial assets – Debt instruments

Financial assets are classified in the following three categories depending on the instruments' contractual cash flow characteristics and the business model for managing them:

  • financial assets at amortised cost;
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at their transaction price.

Financial assets at amortised cost

After initial recognition, financial assets that generate contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding are measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold them in order to collect contractual cash flows (hold to collect business model). Under the amortised cost method, the financial assets' amount at initial recognition is decreased by principal repayments, any loss allowance and cumulated amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount.

Amortisation is calculated using the effective interest rate that exactly discounts the expected future cash flows to their initial carrying amount.

Loans and receivables and other financial assets at amortised cost are recognised net of the related loss allowance.

In 2022, the company did not have any debt instruments measured at FVTOCI or FVTPL.

3.9 Loans and borrowings and bonds

Loans and borrowings and bonds are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The company does not have any loans, borrowings or bonds measured as a financial liability at FVTPL.

Any difference between the amount received (less transaction costs) and the nominal amount of the liability is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the company has a contractual right to extinguish its obligations after 12 months of the reporting date.

3.10 Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, part of a financial asset or parts of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire;
  • the company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients in full and immediately;
  • the company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset and has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and the related control.

When the company has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards or has retained control, it continues

to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of guaranteeing the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the initial carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of the consideration that the company could be required to pay.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the underlying obligation is extinguished, cancelled or settled.

When an existing financial liability is exchanged with another by the same lender at substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, this exchange or modification is treated as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

When the modification and exchange of a financial liability does not qualify for derecognition under IFRS 9, its carrying amount is recalculated as the present value of the renegotiated or modified contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument's original effective interest rate. Any difference between the recalculated carrying amount and the carrying amount of the original financial instrument is immediately recognised in profit or loss.

3.11 Employee benefits

Defined benefit plans

Defined benefit plans include the benefits the employees will receive when they retire and which are usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and remuneration. The company recognises a liability for these defined benefits equal to the present value of its obligation at year end, including any adjustments for unrecognised costs related to past service less the fair value of the plan assets. The company calculates its liability once a year using the projected unit credit method. Present value is calculated by discounting the future outlays using the interest rate applied to high quality corporate bonds with a currency and term consistent with the currency and estimated term of the post-employment benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans arising from changes in the underlying assumptions or in the plan conditions are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service cost is expensed immediately. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Defined contribution plans

The company pays benefits to public and private pension funds on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis for the defined contribution plans. The contributions are recognised as personnel expense as the related service is provided.

The company contributes to multi-employer pension plans via its US subsidiaries. These plans pool the assets contributed by the various entities to provide benefits to the employees of more than one entity determining the contribution and benefit levels without regard to the identity of the entity that employs the employees concerned. The company recognises these plans as defined contribution plans.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value and recognised as personnel expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity. Specifically, the cost is recognised over the vesting period, i.e., the period from the grant date to the assignment date, considering the fair value of the shares at the grant date and the expected fulfilment of the performance conditions provided for by the plan.

3.12 Income taxes

Current taxes are provided for using the enacted tax rates and laws ruling in Italy and other countries in which the company operates, including through its branches, based on the best estimate of the taxable profit for the year.

Beginning from 2004, the company has joined the national tax consolidation system, as the consolidating party, which is regulated by the conditions set out in agreements drawn up by the participating companies.

The agreements provide that tax losses transferred by the subsidiaries give rise to a benefit for them to the extent to which they can be offset through the national tax consolidation system, taking into account any losses of the consolidating party and/or other companies that joined the system.

3.13 Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on the basis of the temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets are recognised when the company holds their recovery to be probable.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and, to the extent necessary, is decreased when it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to use all or part of the related benefit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, respectively, and are netted level if related to taxes that may be offset. If the balance is positive, it is recognised as "Deferred tax assets", if not, as "Deferred tax liabilities".

Taxes that could arise from the transfer of undistributed profits by subsidiaries are only calculated when the subsidiary has the positive intention to transfer such profits.

In the case of transactions recognised directly in equity, the related deferred tax asset or liability also affects equity.

3.14 Provisions for risks and charges

In accordance with IAS 37, the company makes accruals to provisions for risks and charges when the following conditions exist:

  • the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) at the reporting date as a result of a past event where an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
  • it is probable that the obligation (through an outflow of resources) will have to be settled;
  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the time value is material and the obligation payment dates can be estimated reliably, the amount recognised as the provision equals the pre-tax future cash flows (i.e., forecast outflows) discounted at a rate that reflects the present market value and risks specific to the liability.

The increase in the provision due to discounting is recognised as a financial expense.

When the expected cash flows are included in an estimate range with the same probability of occurrence, the median value is discounted to measure the liability.

Provision for restructuring costs is recognised when the company has approved a detailed formal plan that has been implemented and communicated to the third parties involved.

3.15 Translation criteria for foreign currency items

The translation criteria for foreign currency items adopted by the company are as follows:

  • foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities, excluding property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and equity investments measured at cost, are translated at the closing spot rate with any exchange rate gains or losses taken to profit or loss;
  • non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost denominated in the foreign currency and translated using the historical exchange rate;
  • revenue and costs related to foreign currency transactions are recognised in profit or loss at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction;
  • any material effects deriving from changes in exchange rates after the reporting date are disclosed in the notes.

The foreign branches' functional currency is the Euro, as it is the primary currency they use in their operations.

3.16 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

Assets held for sale are recognised as such when the following events take place:

  • signing of a binding sales agreement;
  • approval and communication of a formal sales plan by directors.

In order to be correctly measured, the assets shall be:

  • available for immediate sale in their present condition;
  • subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;
  • the sale must be highly probable and expected to take place within twelve months.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and that meets any of the following criteria: i) it represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, ii) it is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or iii) it is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a plan to resell.

The profit or loss from discontinued operations is disclosed separately in the statement of profit or loss. As required by paragraph 34 of IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, the corresponding prior year figures are reclassified accordingly.

Non-current assets that are to be abandoned

Under IFRS 5.13, non-current assets to be abandoned are those that are destined to be no longer used. Their carrying amount will never be recovered through their sale but through their continuous use to the end of their economic life (scrapping).

<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->

However, if the asset to be abandoned (i) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or (ii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, it is recognised as a discontinued operation.

These assets are reclassified as discontinued operations at the date on which they cease to be used. They are considered owned and used until they are actually disposed of.

3.17 Impairment testing

Intangible assets and equity investments were tested for impairment at the reporting date in accordance with IAS 36 and IFRS 9, respectively.

The company carried out the impairment tests considering:

  • the procedures approved, also in compliance with the joint Bank of Italy/Consob/Isvap document no. 4 of 3 March 2010, which are based, inter alia, on: (i) the applicable IFRS, (ii) the guidance and recommendations of the market regulators, and (ii) valuation best practices;
  • the actual and forward-looking (2023 budget) financial data prepared by the investees' management.

Lastly, as customary, management availed itself of the advice of a network of international experts for the preparation of the impairment tests.

Market capitalisation below equity

Since the company's market capitalisation (€1,376.1 million) at the reporting date is lower than its equity (€1,541.2 million), management deemed it appropriate to check whether this fact would represent an impairment indicator. Like other sector operators, the company's market value was affected by external factors that penalised financial markets in Italy and abroad during the year. These were mainly attributable to international monetary policies, rising inflation and uncertainties related to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Considering the above and that the company's market capitalisation levelled off at levels higher than its equity, management concluded that there were no impairment indicators.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and equity investments

If there is any indication that an intangible asset or an item of property, plant and equipment is impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

If a binding sales agreement does not exist, fair value is estimated using the observable prices of an active market, recent transactions or the best information available to reflect the amount the entity could obtain by disposing of the asset.

Value in use is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset, net of taxes, and, if reasonably determinable, from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Discounting is applied by using a post-tax discount rate which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

The assessment is made for individual assets or the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets from its continuing use (cash-generating unit). An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. If the reasons for the impairment loss are no longer valid, the impairment loss (except in the case of goodwill) is reversed and the adjustment is taken to profit or loss as a reversal of impairment losses. A reversal of impairment losses is recognised to the extent of the lower of the recoverable amount and original carrying amount less depreciation/amortisation that would have been recognised had the impairment loss not been recognised.

Financial assets

The company tests the recoverable amount of financial assets at amortised cost using the expected credit loss model. This model develops estimates of the impact of changes in economic factors (including future changes) on the expected credit losses using a probability-weighted outcome.

Credit-impaired financial assets are individually impaired, taking into account the parameters identified from time to time and disclosed in these notes.

The company's credit risk is that deriving from its exposure to potential losses arising from the customers' (which are mostly governments or state bodies) non-compliance with their obligations.

There are no indicators of impairment of the company's intangible assets.

8. Equity investments

This item may be analysed as follows:

The most significant changes include:

  • capital injections into the subsidiaries Webuild US Holdings Inc. (€69.4 million) and HCE Costruzioni S.p.A. (€60 million);
  • the gains recognised on the investment in Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. thanks to the US dollar's strong appreciation during the year;
  • impairment losses, mostly on the investments in HCE Costruzioni S.p.A. and Astaldi Concessions S.p.A..

For the purposes of determining whether any impairment losses or gains should be recognised in the item "Equity investments", the company has analysed each investee individually according to the specific objectives it pursues in carrying out its operations.

Webuild US Holdings Inc.

The discounted cash flow model used to test the investment in Webuild US Holdings Inc. for impairment was based on the cash flows over a five-year period. The terminal growth rate was prudently estimated to be zero.

The 2023-2027 financial projections were based on the following main assumptions:

  • the operating profit on new orders was estimated upwards compared to the previous business plan, in line with the existing order backlog;
  • a reduction in the overheads to total revenue ratio was envisaged over the plan horizon;
  • scheduled capex was estimated considering the various projects and the requirements of each of Lane's business units. Amortisation and depreciation were estimated on the basis of the expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;
  • working capital trends over the plan period were estimated considering the DPO and DSO over the period and specific assumptions for each project.

The underlying assumptions for which a reasonably possible change would give a carrying amount in excess of the investment's recoverable amount are:

  • WACC 10.8%;
  • G-rate -0.8%;
  • decrease in operating profit -1.4%.

Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A.

The discounted cash flow model used to test the investment in Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A. for impairment was based on the cash flows over a five-year period. The terminal growth rate was prudently estimated to be zero.

The 2023-2027 financial projections were based solely on the existing order backlog.

The company performed a sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amount (change in WACC of up to -1%/+1% combined with a change in gross operating profit) to establish the sensitivity of the impairment test result to a

77 Mostly in the case where the carrying amount exceeds the company's share of the investee's equity

change in the parameters. This analysis confirmed that reasonably possible changes would not lead to the carrying amount being greater than the recoverable amount.

Webuild Italia S.p.A.

The discounted cash flow model used to test the investment in Webuild Italia S.p.A. for impairment was based on the cash flows over a five-year period. The terminal growth rate was prudently estimated to be zero.

The 2023-2027 financial projections were prepared considering profit margins in line with those for the current order backlog.

The company performed a sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amount (change in WACC of up to -1%/+1% combined with a change in gross operating profit) to establish the sensitivity of the impairment test result to a change in the parameters. This analysis confirmed that reasonably possible changes would not lead to the carrying amount being greater than the recoverable amount.

Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A.

The company tested its investment in the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. (the "SPE") for impairment by discounting the cash flows expected from its operations using the assumed settlement of the claims and other assets held by the SPE as the drivers. Specifically, the cash flows comprised the operating expenses (mainly legal fees) and collections expected in line with the estimated payment timeline of the claims.

The discount rates (4.5% for the claims and 4.0% for the other assets) were defined considering:

  • the average return on risk-free rates of the six months before the reporting date in order to consider the current macroeconomic climate;
  • a country risk component;
  • a spread that reflects the typical business risk.

The impairment test confirmed the equity investment's carrying amount to be recoverable.

The impairment test was subjected to a sensitivity analysis to check its results' sensitivity to a reasonable 1% variation in the discount rate. No potential impairment losses were identified.

Other equity investments

The company tested the other equity investments shown in the above table for impairment by calculating their recoverable amount using the unlevered discounted cash model or the dividend discount model, discounting the cash flows expected from their operations. It used the business plans prepared by the investees' management to apply this model.

When appropriate, the company estimated the equity investments' terminal value using the perpetual income formula assuming the investee would generate sustainable profits based on the explicit projections in its business plan and that it could continue as a going concern.

A sensitivity analysis was performed of the equity investments' recoverable amount using a worst case scenario with a 1% increase in the discount rate or a hypothetical 5% decrease in the cash flows. The results of this analysis were not significantly different to those obtained from the impairment tests.

Impairment tests of SPEs

In this case, the company considered the accounting mismatches between the carrying amount of the investments in the special-purpose entities and its share of their equity78, as shown in their accounting records and draft financial statements at 31 December 2022 provided by their management.

In 2022, the company recognised impairment losses on its investment in Astaldi Concessions S.p.A. (€17 million, mainly for the O&M project for the Etlik Integrated Health Campus in Ankara) and AGN HAGA AB (€5.4 million).

78 As these SPEs are set up solely for specific projects, their accounting records already reflect any expected contract losses.

In some cases, the impairment test considered the claims for additional consideration to the extent their payment is highly probable, based also on the technical and legal opinions of the company's advisors. More information is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report.

9. Non-current financial assets, including derivatives

This item may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Loans and receivables - group companies 103,210 187,555 84,345
Loans and receivables - third parties 65,551 98,842 33,291
Other financial assets 9,132 8,119 (1,013)
Total 177,893 294,516 116,623

Loans and receivables - group companies mainly comprise the loans given to Yuma Concesionaria (€178.8 million).

Loans and receivables - third parties of €98.8 million mostly refer to: (i) sales advances of €75.0 million disbursed to Astaris'separate unit (PADE) in accordance with the approved composition with creditors plan, and (ii) €22.3 million related to the undue enforcement of the performance bonds for the S7 Widoma Motorway contract in Poland. The company is confident that it will recover this amount, based also on the opinion of its legal advisors assisting it in the dispute with the customer.

The other financial assets amount to €8.1 million at the reporting date, substantially in line with the previous year end. They include unlisted guaranteed-return securities of the "Fondo de Capital Privado Ruta del Sol" held as part of Yuma's concession project in Colombia.

The increase in non-current financial assets is mostly due to: (i) the additional loans granted to Yuma Concesionaria S.A. (€79.9 million), (ii) the execution of the performance bonds for the S7 Widoma Motorway project (€22.3 million), and (iii) the additional sales advances disbursed to PADE (€10.6 million).

More information about the S7 Widoma Motorway project in Poland and Yuma Concesionaria S.A. is provided in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report.

Impairment test

At the reporting date, the company reperformed the impairment test to check the recoverability of the loans given to Yuma Concesionaria (€178.8 million). The test was performed in line with the conceptual framework of IFRS 9 simulating various collection scenarios. It showed that the recoverable amount of the loans is consistent with their carrying amount.

10. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

This item may be broken down as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation

Net deferred tax liabilities (30,928) (41,769) (165) 21 - 205 29,466 (43,170)

The item mostly shows the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising on temporary differences between statutory and tax regulations.

"Other" principally reflects the temporary differences generated by the assessment notices settled by the Ethiopian branch for the years from 2017 to 2020 as well as the deferred tax liabilities arising on carryforward losses and those generated by the application of new standards.

The provision for the national tax consolidation system relates to the national and world tax consolidation model79 and the regulations signed by the subsidiaries when they joined the scheme.

Americas 52,718 86,329 33,611
Total 1,509,807 1,494,905 (14,902)

Foreign contract assets increased in (i) Europe (Braila Bridge and the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line in Romania and Line 16 of the Paris Metro in France), and (ii) Africa (mostly for the Koysha Hydroelectric Project in Ethiopia).

With respect to Asia and the Middle East, contract assets decreased in the United Arab Emirates due to (i) the agreement signed with the customer to settle the claims about the Meydan One Mall project in Dubai (€151 million), and (ii) certification of some important milestones in Saudi Arabia (for the Riyadh Metro).

With respect to the item's breakdown by geographical segment, the biggest European contributors are the ongoing projects in Romania (mainly the Braila Bridge, the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line and Lot 3 of the Sibiu - Pitesti Motorway) and Poland (principally the Warsaw Southern Bypass and the motorway projects).

The projects underway in Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project) contributed the most to the total balance for Asia and the Middle East.

Contributors in Africa were the projects in Ethiopia (the Koysha Hydroelectric Project) and Algeria (the Saida - Tiaret - Moulay railway line).

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities include:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Contract work in progress (14,091,033) (3,099,784) 10,991,249

Oceania 131,843 355,015 223,172
Total 554,666 769,677 215,011

The increase in this item is mostly due to the advances received in the second half of the year for the recentlyawarded contracts in Italy (the Genoa Breakwater), Australia (STTOM Project) and France (TELT Lot 2).

This increase was partly countered by the decrease related to the Koysha Hydroelectric Project following the ramping up of production during the year with the result that the amounts due from the customer exceed the progress payments and advances received80 .

The breakdown of contract liabilities by geographical segment shows that the Italian balance relates to work on the high-speed/capacity Novara - Milan railway line and the new Genoa Breakwater.

The largest contributor in Europe is Lot 2 of the TELT project in France.

The North East Link and SSTOM (Sydney metro line) projects in Australia contributed to the item in the Oceania segment.

Additional consideration

Contract assets and liabilities, comprising progress payments, progress billings and advances, include claims for additional consideration of €849.1 million and €22.5 million, respectively.

They are recognised to the extent that their payment is deemed highly probable, based also on the legal and technical opinions of the company's advisors. The additional consideration recognised in contract assets and liabilities is part of the total consideration formally requested of the customers.

The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report provides information on pending disputes and assets exposed to country risk.

Total 1,698,950 1,743,854 44,904

80 Reclassified to contract assets at 31 December 2022

The decrease seen in Italy is principally due to the accounting offsetting of amounts due to and from the COCIV consortium (€200.8 million), partly countered by new trade receivables recognised after billing the contract advance for the new Genoa Breakwater (€101.2 million).

Trade receivables in Europe increased mostly as a result of progress made on contracts in Romania (Braila Bridge) and the commercial activities carried out by the Romanian branch on behalf of the subsidiaries and joint operations active in that country.

The largest trade receivables in Asia and the Middle East relate to the Rogun Hydropower Project in Tajikistan.

The increase in Africa is chiefly due to the Saida - Tiaret - Moulay railway line project in Algeria (approximately €34 million) after the achievement of contract milestones, for which the related invoices were issued around year end and paid in January 2023.

The decrease in the Americas is mostly seen in the United States and refers to Lane Group.

More information about trade receivables from group companies is available in note 37 and the annex on intragroup transactions attached to these notes.

Trade receivables - third parties (€608.4 million) refer to invoices issued and work performed and approved by customers that still has to be invoiced, mostly carried out in Europe (principally Romania, France and Slovakia), Ethiopia and Tajikistan.

Lastly, the item includes €0.5 million (€3.5 million at 31 December 2021) related to the company's receivables with consortia and consortium companies (SPEs) that operate by recharging costs and are not included in the consolidation scope. It is shown in the item "Net financial position (debt) with unconsolidated SPEs" as part of net financial indebtedness.

Loans and receivables - group companies and other related
parties
1,098,568 1,168,907 70,339

Total 1,169,245 1,253,285 84,040

Loans and receivables - group companies and other related parties include joint current accounts and other financing governed by specific agreements and carried out on an arm's length basis. The increase in this item is the net balance of: (i) the additional loans given to the subsidiaries Salini Impregilo - NRW Joint Venture, Lane Construction Corporation, Copenhagen Metro Team I/S and Fisia Italimpianti S.p.A., partly offset by (ii) the reduction in loans due from HCE Group, mostly as a result of the conversion of part of the loans disbursed to HCE Construzioni S.p.A. into equity.

More information about this item is available in note 37 "Related party transactions" and the annex on intragroup transactions attached to these notes.

Loans and receivables - third parties mostly comprise loans given to partners in joint ventures set up for projects in Kuwait (€25.9 million) and Slovakia (€17.8 million) as well as the undue enforcement of performance bonds by the customer for the Orastie - Sibiu (Lot 3) contract in Romania (€12.2 million). The Court of International Commercial Arbitration attached to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania ("CCIR") announced the final award on 25 February 2021 ordering the customer to return the unfairly enforced amounts. As a result and based on the assessments made with the company's legal advisors, management deems that the receivables are fully recoverable. More information is available in the "Main risks and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report.

Derivative include the reporting-date fair value of currency hedges that did not meet the criteria for application of hedge accounting for cash flow hedges under the IFRS.

"Other" includes €33.5 million due to the company as a result of the enforceable award in its favour for the Aguas del Buenos Aires project in Argentina as well as amounts due from Webuild's partners chiefly for projects being carried out abroad for most of the remainder.

The decrease mostly relates to the projects underway in India, Romania and Peru.

Advances to suppliers decreased by a net €17.3 million, mainly due to continuation of work on the projects in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Australia and Romania.

The item "Group companies and other related parties" decreased by €35.7 million, mostly related to projects in Argentina, Romania and Turkey.

More information about this item is available in the annex on intragroup transactions attached to these notes.

Impairment test

Given that Argentina's significant economic crisis has not abated, Webuild tested its financial assets (€33.5 million) with the Argentine Republic related to the Aguas del Buenos Aires project for impairment again. The impairment test was performed in line with the conceptual framework of IFRS 9 simulating various collection scenarios and their probability of occurrence. It showed that the recoverable amount of the financial assets is consistent with their carrying amount.

17. Cash and cash equivalents

This item may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Cash and cash equivalents 692,568 961,906 269,338

Oceania 151,923 241,116 89,193
Total 692,569 961,906 269,337

The balance includes bank account credit balances at the end of the year and the amounts of cash, cheques and valuables at the registered offices, work sites and foreign branches. Liquidity management is designed to ensure the financial independence of ongoing contracts, considering the structure of the consortia and SPEs, which may limit the availability of financial resources to achievement of the related projects. Liquidity management also considers the existence of constraints to the transfer of currency imposed by certain countries. In this respect, the liquidity in Africa mainly comprises local currency that cannot be exported and is used for the Ethiopian projects. The statement of cash flows shows the reasons for changes in this item and current account facilities (note 20).

This item comprises restricted amounts of approximately €7.3 million, including €4.9 million for the Astaldi-Turkerler joint venture in Turkey and €1.9 million for the company's French branch.

The item of €0.8 million refers to the Astaldi Honduras division, for which the administrator appointed by the competent authorities in 2019 is completing the procedures to liquidate its assets to satisfy the local creditors.

Loss from discontinued operations

This item shows the results of the foreign divisions headed by the former Astaldi Group which do not comply with the company's commercial and industrial strategies.

Industrial operations in these countries have been discontinued for some time and the administrative procedures for the definitive closure of the relevant reporting entities are currently nearing completion.

The loss from discontinued operations of €23.1 million for 2022 mostly relates to the Astaldi Georgia division. After the ICC award issued in the second quarter of 2022 on the proceedings commenced by the customer about the works to upgrade the E60 Zemo Osiauri - Chumateleti Motorway, the company revised the previous estimates about the outcome of the arbitration to reflect its unexpected developments.

19.1 Share capital

At 31 December 2022, the company's share capital continues to amount to €600,000,000 and consists of 1,002,425,395 shares, comprising 1,000,809,904 ordinary shares (including 4,999,867 ordinary shares to be assigned to potential creditors) and 1,615,491 savings shares, all without a nominal amount.

During the year, the number of shares increased due to the assigning of 125,402 ordinary shares to creditors not provided for and the issue of 740,056 ordinary shares after anti-dilutive warrants were exercised.

Savings shares issued pursuant to the law do not carry voting rights, have preference dividend and capital repayment rights and can be bearer shares, subject to the provisions of article 2354.2 of the Italian Civil Code. Upon the shareholder's request and at their own expense, they can be converted into registered shares and vice versa. Savings shares held by directors, statutory auditors and CEOs are registered. Except when the company's by-laws or relevant legislation provide for otherwise, savings shares give the holders the same rights as those of ordinary shares.

Holders of savings shares do not have the right to attend the company's shareholders' meetings or to request that they are called. The special savings shareholders' meeting is regulated by law. When reserves are distributed, the savings shares have the same rights as ordinary shares.

Upon dissolution of the company, savings shares bear preference rights to capital repayment, up to €5.2 per share. When shares are grouped or split (as well as when capital transactions are carried out and as necessary in order to protect the savings shareholders' rights in the case the shares have a nominal amount), the above fixed amount is adjusted accordingly.

Profit for the year as per the separate financial statements is allocated as follows:

  • a) 5% to the legal reserve, up to the legally-required amount;
  • b) to savings shares, to the extent of 5% of €5.2 per share (i.e., €0.26 per share). If a dividend lower than 5% of €5.2 per share (i.e., €0.26 per share) is paid one year, the difference is taken as an increase in the preferred dividend of the following two years;
  • c) the residual amount, to all shareholders in such a way as to allocate to savings shares a total dividend which is 2% of €5.2 per share (i.e., €0.104 per share) greater than that distributed to ordinary shares, except when the shareholders decide to allocate an amount to the extraordinary reserves or for other uses.

Financial instruments giving the right to new shares

During their extraordinary meeting of 30 April 2021 as part of their resolutions about the partial proportionate demerger of the former Astaldi (now Astaris S.p.A., "Astaris") to Webuild (the "demerger"), Webuild's shareholders resolved, inter alia:

  • to issue 80,738,448 2021-2030 Webuild warrants (ISIN IT0005454423) to the holders of ordinary Webuild shares in proportion to the shares held by them on the open market date before the demerger's effectiveness date (i.e., 30 July 2021) (the "anti-dilutive warrants"), as well as (b) to authorise the board of directors to issue and assign, under the terms and conditions of the anti-dilutive warrants regulation, in more than one instalment, a maximum of 80,738,448 ordinary Webuild shares, without a nominal amount, reserved for the exercise of (free) subscription rights by the anti-dilutive warrant holders. The anti-dilutive warrants were assigned free of charge on a dematerialised basis, using a ratio of 0.090496435 warrants for every ordinary Webuild share held at that date. During 2022, as the conditions for their partial exercise were met, 740,056 anti-dilutive warrants were exercised, leading to the assigning of 740,056 ordinary Webuild shares to the warrant holders.
  • (a) to issue 15,223,311 warrants (the "lender warrants") to Unicredit S.p.A., Intesa San Paolo S.p.A., Sace S.p.A., BNP Paribas SA Succursale Italia and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. (the "lending banks") to replace, due to the demerger, a maximum of 74,991,680 Astaldi S.p.A. 2020-2023 warrants issued as part of the loan agreements signed on 2 August 2020 by Astaldi and its lending banks which gave them the right to subscribe ordinary Webuild shares in the ratio of one share to every lender warrant before 5 July 2023, as well as (b) to authorise the board of directors to issue and assign, under the terms and conditions set out in the lender warrants' regulation, in more than one instalment, a maximum of 15,223,311 ordinary Webuild shares, without a nominal amount, reserved for the exercise (at a unit price of €1.133 per share) of the above lender warrants;
  • to authorise the board of directors to issue, in more than one instalment and before 31 August 2030, a maximum of 8,826,087 ordinary shares, without a nominal amount, to be reserved to the creditors not provided for (as defined in the demerger proposal). They will have the right to receive Webuild shares using: (a) the ratio established by Astaldi's composition with creditors plan for the exchange of claims with shares (i.e., 12.493 Astaldi shares for each €100.00 of claims), and (b) the assignment ratio (i.e., 203 Webuild shares to every 1,000 Astaldi shares). In 2022, 125,402 ordinary Webuild shares were issued and assigned to the creditors not provided for.

19.2 Share premium reserve

This item mainly reflects the company's capital increase of 12 November 2019, net of utilisations in 2021 as per the resolution passed by the parent's shareholders in their meeting of 30 April 2021.

19.3 Other reserves

Legal reserve

At the reporting date, the legal reserve equals one fifth of the parent's share capital as required by article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.

Negative goodwill

This item increases the company's equity as a result of the difference between the cost incurred to acquire Astaldi (now Astaris) and the net assets combined after the demerger calculated to the extent of the same amount recognised in Webuild's consolidated financial statements at 1 August 2021, the effective date of the transaction.

Treasury shares

Reserve for treasury shares

During their ordinary meeting of 28 April 2022, the company's shareholders authorised the board of directors to adopt a treasury share repurchase plan as per the terms and methods approved by them (available in the "Shareholders' meeting" part of the "Governance" section on the parent's website www.webuildgroup.com). At the reporting date, the company had 17,224,895 treasury shares for €28,074,755.61.

Reserve for treasury shares held by joint operations

After completion and as a result of the demerger, the company integrated the reserve for treasury shares to include its shares issued in November 2021 to the former Astaldi's shareholders and assigned to the joint operations that received new Astaldi shares in 2020 in exchange for their unsecured claims (the "capital increase for conversion purposes"). Considering the above and the assignment ratio defined for the demerger, the joint operations held 36,766 Webuild shares at the reporting date, equal to approximately €82,675 million.

Share capital increase related charges

At 31 December 2022, this reserve has a negative balance of €11.0 million.

It includes the costs for the company's capital increases carried out on 12 November 2019 (€7.0 million) and in 2014 (€4.0 million).

LTI reserve

The LTI (long term incentive plan) reserve includes the fair value of the long-term incentive plan introduced in 2020. On 11 March 2020, the board of directors of Salini Impregilo (now Webuild) approved the guidelines and draft regulation for an incentive plan open to certain employees, consultants and/or directors with special duties either with the company and/or its direct or indirect subsidiaries as per article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code (the "Salini Impregilo 2020-2022 performance share plan" or the "plan"), subsequently approved by the company's shareholders. On 28 July 2022, based on the proposals made by the compensating and nominating committee, the company's board of directors set the maximum number of ordinary Webuild shares to service the plan as 8,653,525 (the maximum number of ordinary Webuild shares that can be assigned if the plan performance objectives are met or exceeded by 120%.

The reserve amounts to approximately €12.1 million at the reporting date.

IFRS 2 reserve

This reserve comprises (i) the fair value (€26.9 million) of the shares that could be issued - under the former Astaldi's authorised composition with creditors procedure and considering the company's commitments taken on as part of the demerger - in exchange for potential unsecured claims (i.e., provisions for risks), and (ii) the fair value (€44.5 million) of the lender warrants.

19.4 Other comprehensive expense

The main change in this item relates to the exchange gains arising from the US dollar's appreciation.

19.5 Retained earnings

The increase in retained earnings is due to the transfer from the IFRS 2 reserve of the fair value of 125,402 shares for the creditors not provided for and 916,976 shares for potential creditors exchanged for approved unsecured claims in 2022.

19.6 Resolution of the shareholders on the allocation of the loss for 2021

In their meeting held on 28 April 2022, the company's shareholders resolved to:

  • cover the loss of €245,727,865.15 shown in the 2021 separate financial statements by using the negative goodwill (€245,727,865.15);
  • distribute a dividend of €0.055, gross of the legal withholding, to each ordinary share and savings shares with dividend rights at the ex-dividend date (for a total of €54,217,104.98 at the payment date).

Total 696,541 454,793 241,748 304,383 74,062 230,321

The reduction in bank corporate loans during the year is mostly due to the repayment of credit facilities, partly by using the proceeds from the placement of the €400 million sustainability-linked bonds issued in January 2022.

The fair value of bank corporate loans is €295.5 million.

The main conditions of the bank corporate loans in place at 31 December 2022 are as follows:

25. Post-employment benefits and other employee benefits

Employee benefits of €13.2 million at the reporting date mostly consist of the post-employment benefits governed by article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code.

Post-employment benefits governed by article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code

Plan characteristics

At 31 December 2006, the Italian post-employment benefits (TFR) qualified as a defined benefit plan. Law no. 296 of 27 December 2006 (the 2007 Finance Act) and related implementing decrees issued in early 2007 introduced changes, according to which companies with at least 50 employees now classify the TFR as a defined benefit plan solely with reference to the benefits vested until before 1 January 2007 (if not paid at the reporting date), while those accrued after that date are to be classified as part of a defined contribution plan.

Accordingly, the liability for post-employment benefits recognised in the company's statement of financial position, net of any advances paid, reflects the residual obligation for the company for the benefits vested up to 31 December 2006 that will be paid when the employees leave the company.

Main assumptions

The main assumptions used for the actuarial estimate of the TFR at the reporting date are:

  • turnover rate: 7.25%;
  • advance payment rate: 3%;
  • inflation rate: 2.30%.

The company has used the Eurocomposite AA index, which has an average financial duration in line with the fund being valued, to calculate the discount rate.

With respect to the potential effects on the company's liability for employee benefits at the reporting date caused by hypothetical changes in the actuarial assumptions, the following should be noted:

26. Provisions for risks

These provisions are summarised in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Provisions for risks on equity investments 42,476 57,708 15,232
Other provisions 31,759 25,589 (6,170)
Total 74,235 83,297 9,062

The provisions for risks on equity investments relate to the company's legal obligations to cover its investees' losses exceeding their equities. The increase is mostly attributable to Salini Polska S.p.z.o.o. (€7.9 million) and Grupo ICT II SAS (€7.2 million).

Other provisions comprise:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation

Provision for ongoing litigation 2,018 3,254 1,236
Other 12,740 14,938 2,198
Total 31,759 25,589 (6,169)

The other provisions are briefly commented on below:

  • in accordance with paragraphs 66-69 of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, the provisions for risks relating to ongoing contracts cover the estimated costs to fulfil certain onerous contracts, mainly in Algeria and Poland. The decrease in 2022 is mostly related to contracts in Poland;
  • the provision for ongoing litigation mostly relates to litigation in Georgia;
  • "Other" relates to additional probable obligations in connection with third party claims and commitments taken on chiefly in Italy and Romania. The increase for the year mostly relates to Romania.

27. Trade payables

This item is made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
Third parties 748,277 827,451 79,174
Group companies and other related parties 1,196,865 981,773 (215,092)
Total 1,945,142 1,809,225 (135,917)

The €79.1 million increase in trade payables to third parties is principally due to the ramping-up of production at the hydroelectric projects in Ethiopia (Koysha) and Tajikistan (Rogun).

The reduction in trade payables to group companies and other related parties is mostly a result of the accounting offsetting of trade receivables and payables due from and to the COCIV Consortium (€200.8 million). A complete list of transactions with group companies and other related parties is provided at the end of these notes.

28. Current tax liabilities and other current tax liabilities

Current tax liabilities

Current tax liabilities are made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation
IRES 454 246 (208)

Foreign taxes 148,634 55,395 (93,239)
Total 149,349 55,805 (93,544)

The decrease in foreign taxes is mostly due to Ethiopia. In 2021, in addition to the ordinary taxes on income generated in this country, the Ethiopian branch was affected by an assessment for the higher corporate income taxes challenged by the local tax authorities (ERCA) for 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Other current tax liabilities

Other current tax liabilities are broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022 Variation

Social security institutions 12,305 11,127 (1,178)
Group companies and other related parties 86,613 88,116 1,503
Other liabilities 87,722 74,150 (13,572)
Accrued expenses and deferred income 9,433 11,218 1,785
Total 240,744 232,559 (8,185)

Reference should be made to the annex on intragroup transactions at the end of these notes for additional details of liabilities to group companies and other related parties.

"Other liabilities" of €74.2 million (€87.7 million at 31 December 2021) mostly refer to amounts due to customers for projects in Poland (roughly €30 million) and additional liabilities in Italy and South America (approximately €26 million). The decrease in this item is principally related to Poland.

30. Guarantees, commitments, risks and contingent liabilities

30.1 Guarantees and commitments

The key guarantees given by the company are set out below.

(€'000) 31 December 2021 31 December 2022
Contractual sureties 12,062,967 12,131,343
Sureties for bank loans 497,028 436,571
Sureties for export credit 3,389 2,879

Other 7,044,413 7,470,619
Total 19,718,096 20,280,534

Contractual sureties are given to customers as performance bonds, to guarantee advances and retentions for all ongoing contracts or involvement in tenders.

30.2 Litigation and contingent liabilities

The company is involved in civil and administrative proceedings that, based on the information currently available and taking into account the existing provisions for risks, are not expected to have a significant negative effect on its separate financial statements. The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report provides information about the main disputes.

Tax disputes

With respect to the principal disputes with the tax authorities:

  • the Supreme Court hearing was held on 17 January 2020 to discuss the reimbursement of tax assets with a nominal amount of €12.3 million plus interest acquired from third parties as part of previous non-recurring transactions. The court quashed the second level ruling ordering the case to be transferred to the Regional Tax Commission. The company filed a petition for the resumption of the hearing within the legal term. Since an out-of-court settlement was reached with the tax authorities, which provides for the reimbursement of €9.3 million plus interest of €2.4 million, the company filed an application for the dismissal of the case on 18 November 2022;
  • after their tax inspection into 2015, the tax authorities notified the Constructor M2 Lima consortium of an assessment notice claiming approximately €15.9 million. The main allegation made by the local tax authorities (SUNAT) is due to a different interpretation of the accounting treatment of revenue from contracts with customers for work carried out under the IFRS. The company's investment in the consortium is 25.5%, which means the portion of assessed tax attributable to it is about €4.06 million. Since the consortium deems that the accounting treatment it adopted is correct, it challenged the above assessment notice within the term prescribed by the local law.

Moreover, during the year, the Ethiopian tax authorities carried out a tax audit at the company's Ethiopian branch, which was followed by an assessment notice. After arduous discussions, the company reached an agreement with the tax authorities, whereby the tax authorities forgave fines and interest while the company accepted to pay the assessed taxes. These will be paid in instalments in local currency and amount to the equivalent of roughly €17 million, including €12 million relating to deductible temporary differences.

Furthermore, considering the demerger and the principal disputes of the demerged company the former Astaldi (now Astaris) with the tax authorities:

• In 2016, the El Salvadoran branch received an assessment notice from the local tax authorities relating to its tax base and related income taxes for 2012. In this assessment, the local tax authorities alleged: (i) allegedly undeclared revenue of USD23.5 million (the equivalent of approximately €22 million) for the proceeds arising from the out-of-court agreement settling the dispute related to the El Chaparral hydroelectric power plant project, (ii) interest income of USD0.8 million (the equivalent of about €0.8 million) allegedly accrued on intragroup loans, (iii) revenue and income reported as tax-exempt or nontaxable amounting to USD13.4 million (the equivalent of roughly €12.6 million), and (iv) costs of USD15.4 million (the equivalent of approximately €14.4 million) whose deductibility was contested. As a result, the local tax authorities recalculated the income tax due by the branch for 2012 and assessed higher taxes of USD9.1 million (the equivalent of approximately €8.5 million), plus fines and interest. With the assistance of its advisors, the branch has commenced the procedures to challenge all assessments.

In Italy:

• on 28 August 2020, the Italian tax authorities notified Astaldi of a recovery notice for alleged undue offsetting of excess VAT transferred by its subsidiaries under the 2017 group VAT scheme. The assessed amount is €4.8 million, plus fines and interest of €1.4 million and €0.5 million, respectively. The recalculation also led to the disallowance of both the reimbursement and the authorisation to carry forward. Astaldi challenged both the recovery notice and the disallowance of the reimbursement in court. The Rome Provincial Tax Commission allowed Astaldi's appeal about the recovery notice and the tax authorities

presented a counter-appeal on 18 November 2022. With respect to the second appeal, the second level ruling was unfavourable to the group company which still has time to resort to the Supreme Court. Should it lose the case, it will carry forward a higher amount of VAT assets and will solely bear the related fines and interest.

With respect to the above pending disputes, after consulting its legal advisors, the company believes that it has acted correctly and deems that the risk of an adverse ruling is not probable. When it deemed it appropriate to settle the dispute, as explained earlier in more detail, it did so to avail of the various options provided for by the relevant legislation, such as the voluntary settlement procedure for the pending tax disputes or the positions assigned to the tax collection agency, the court-ordered settlement procedure and the mutually-agreed settlement procedure.

Webuild's international presence entails its exposure to currency risk arising from fluctuations in the value of trade and financial transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies of the individual companies, branches or joint operations. The company has adopted a currency risk management strategy to mitigate this risk based on the guidelines described in the "Risk management system" section of the Directors' report to which reference is made.

The company considers monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than its functional currency, net of derivatives agreed to hedge the above trade and financial transactions, when assessing the potential effects of fluctuations in the above currencies.

The following table shows the results of the sensitivity analysis, which considers a 5% appreciation or depreciation of the Euro against the foreign currency compared to the actual exchange rates at 31 December 2022 to reflect the potential effects on comprehensive income.

2022
(€m) -5% +5%
Australian dollar 23.24 (21.03)
Canadian dollar 5.05 (4.57)
Colombian peso 3.51 (3.17)
US dollar 4.31 (3.90)
Polish zloty (7.52) 6.80

31.2.2 Interest rate risk

The company has revised its debt structure significantly, increasing its fixed rate exposure. For this reason, had interest rates increased or decreased by an average 75 bps in 2022, the loss before tax for the year would have been respectively smaller or greater by a maximum of €2.8 million, assuming that all other variables remained constant and without considering cash and cash equivalents.

31.2.3 Credit risk

Credit risk is that deriving from the company's exposure to potential losses arising from the customers' (which are mostly governments or state bodies) non-compliance with their obligations.

Management of this risk is complex, starting as early as the assessment of bids to be presented, through a careful analysis of the characteristics of the countries where the related activities would be carried out and the customers, which are usually state or similar bodies, requesting the bid.

Therefore, this risk can be essentially assimilated to the country risk. An analysis of this risk based on the age of the outstanding amounts is not very meaningful, since the receivables (mostly due from state bodies) should be assessed together with the other working capital items, especially those reflecting the net exposure to customers (contract assets and liabilities) in relation to contract work in progress as a whole.

A breakdown of working capital by geographical segment is set out below.

31 December 2021 31 December 2022

The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the Directors' report provides information about country risk.

31.2.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk derives from the risk that the financial resources necessary to meet obligations may not be available to the company at the agreed terms and deadlines.

The company's strategy aims at ensuring that each ongoing contract is financially independent.

A breakdown of financial liabilities by composition and due date (based on undiscounted future cash flows) is set out below:

(€'000) 31 December 2023 31 December 2024 31 December 2025 After 2025 Total
Current account facilities 681 - - - 681
Bonds 77,375 575,998 818,614 683,625 2,155,612

Total 2,065,613 725,214 940,590 693,440 4,424,855

Future interest has been estimated based on the market interest rates at the date of preparation of these separate financial statements, summarised in the notes.

Liquidity risk management is mainly based on maintaining a balanced financial position.

Loans and borrowings (principal) and trade payables (net of advances) falling due before 31 March 2023 are compared with the cash and cash equivalents that can be used to meet such obligations in the table below:

(€'000)
Difference 374,352
Cash and cash equivalents (**) 954,620
Trade payables and financial liabilities due before 31 March 2023 (*) 580,268
(€'000)

(*) excluding amounts due to group companies. (**) net of restricted liquidity.

At the date of preparation of this report, the company is not exposed to potential financial stress scenarios. It has cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facilities sufficient to meet its short-term requirements.

31.2.5 Fair value measurement hierarchy

IFRS 7 requires that the fair value of financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position be classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used to determine fair value. There are three different levels:

  • Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial instruments recognised by the company at fair value are classified at the following levels:

(€'000) Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Derivative assets 14 - 2,276 -
Total - 2,276 -

There were no movements from Level 1 to Level 2 during the year or vice versa.

Statement of profit or loss

Initial considerations on the comparability of the statement of profit or loss figures

The 2021 statement of profit or loss figures include the effects of the partial proportionate demerger of Astaldi to Webuild and the contribution of the business unit to Webuild Italia S.p.A., which took accounting effect on 1 August 2021.

32. Revenue

Revenue and other income are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Revenue from contracts with customers 1,676,078 1,863,093 187,015
Other income 208,114 199,237 (8,877)
Total 1,884,192 2,062,330 178,138

32.1 Revenue from contracts with customers

A breakdown of revenue from contracts with customers is given in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Works invoiced to customers 1,625,700 1,777,134 151,434

Sales 10,416 1,302 (9,114)
Total 1,676,077 1,863,093 187,016

A breakdown of revenue from contracts with customers by geographical segment is as follows:

2021 Percentage of 2022 Percentage of
(€'000) total total
Italy 531,258 32% 32,987 2%
EU (excluding Italy) 313,551 19% 641,278 34%
Other European (non-EU) countries 86,444 5% 135,586 7%
Americas 86,433 5% 186,497 10%

Oceania 11,669 1% 120,634 6%
Abroad 1,144,819 68% 1,830,106 98%
Total 1,676,077 100% 1,863,093 100%

This item increased by a net €187.0 million, principally due to progress made on contracts in (i) Romania (Braila Bridge and Lots 3 and 5 of the Sibiu- Pitesti Motorway), (ii) France (TELT Lot 2), (iii) Norway (Sotra Connection), (iv) Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project and GERD), and (v) Australia (North East Link Project).

Italy was affected by the non-recurring transaction involving the transfer of management of industrial activities in Italy to the subsidiary Webuild Italia S.p.A. effective from 1 August 2021.

Variable consideration made up 5.6% of revenue from contracts with customers during the year.

32.2 Other income

A breakdown of other income is given in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Recharged costs 153,316 137,112 (16,204)
Gains on the disposal of non-current assets and equity
investments
3,137 3,382 245
Rent and leases 607 2 (605)
Other 51,054 58,739 7,685
Total 208,114 199,235 (8,879)

The slight decrease of €8.9 million in this item is mainly due to the smaller volumes in Italy.

33. Operating expenses

The item may be broken down as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Purchases 229,876 369,719 139,843
Subcontracts 308,039 545,891 237,852
Services 906,989 595,767 (311,222)
Personnel expenses 306,442 399,291 92,849
Other operating expenses 70,380 96,786 26,406
Amortisation, depreciation, provisions and impairment losses 112,660 79,619 (33,041)
Total 1,934,386 2,087,073 152,687

Changes in the individual items are due to the continuation of production output during the year as can be seen from the note 32 "Revenue from contracts with customers", with greater volumes on the projects underway in Europe (Romania and France), Africa (Ethiopia) and Oceania (Australia) and a strong contraction in Italy following the transfer of the Italia business unit to Webuild Italia S.p.A..

Prices of raw materials rose again in 2022 due to limited supplies, partly caused by the upturn in demand driven by the global economy's recovery. As a result, the company introduced mitigation measures to contain price increases. Its contracts with customers usually include price adjustment clauses. More information is available in the "Covid-19 and the Russia - Ukraine crisis" section of the Directors' report.

The variations in the individual items compared to 2021 are partly due to the different cost structures that vary from contract to contract and may, in some cases, entail changes in the industrial operating model from one year to another. Moreover, as these are large-scale infrastructural works that take several years to complete, resort to normal production factors depends on the stage of completion of each contract in any given year. These changes may generate significant variations in the percentage of the related cost categories depending on the contract and the year, while not affecting the total percentage of costs of total revenue.

33.1 Purchases

Purchases are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Purchases of raw materials and consumables 225,673 364,090 138,417
Change in raw materials and consumables 4,203 5,628 1,425
Total 229,876 369,718 139,842

The increase is mostly due to the full-scale operation of certain contracts, especially in Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project and GERD), Romania (Braila Bridge and Lot 3 of the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line) and Turkey (Etilik Integrated Health Campus in Ankara).

33.2 Subcontracts

A breakdown of this item is as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Subcontracts 308,039 545,891 237,852
Total 308,039 545,891 237,852

The increase is a result of the development of industrial activities on contracts in Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project), Ethiopia (Koysha Hydroelectric Project and GERD), Turkey (Etilik Integrated Health Campus in Ankara) and Romania (Braila Bridge and Lot 3 of the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line), offset by smaller volumes achieved in Kuwait (South Al Mutlaa Housing Project).

33.3 Services

Services are broken down below:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Consultancy and technical services 214,644 336,188 121,544

Fees to directors, statutory auditors and independent auditors 9,620 15,509 5,889
Maintenance 5,864 7,207 1,343
Other 26,620 48,984 22,364
Total 906,989 595,767 (311,222)

The reduction in this item mostly relates to Italy, while it increased abroad for the contracts underway in Europe (Romania and France) and Australia.

A breakdown of "Consultancy and technical services" is as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Design and engineering services 160,533 269,326 108,793
Construction 14,541 16,380 1,839
Legal, administrative and other services 39,369 50,257 10,888
Testing 201 225 24
Total 214,644 336,188 121,544

The €121.5 million increase in this item is mostly due to (i) the study and start-up phase for some important projects in Australia (North East Link Project) and Norway (Sotra Connection), and (ii) the design activities for Line 16 of the Paris Metro.

The large reduction in the recharging of costs by consortia is a result of the non-recurring transaction to transfer the industrial activities in Italy to Webuild Italia S.p.A. effective from 1 August 2021.

The increase in leases is mostly due to the continuation of work in Romania (Braila Bridge and Lot 3 of the Frontieră-Curtici-Simeria railway line) and France (Line 16 of the Paris Metro and TELT Lot 2).

33.4 Personnel expenses

This item is made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Wages and salaries 224,951 296,417 71,466
Social security and pension contributions 32,810 35,538 2,728

Pension and similar obligations - 248 248
Other 39,530 57,385 17,855
Total 306,443 399,292 92,849

The increase in this item is mostly due to the projects underway in Australia (North East Link Project) and Romania (Braila Bridge and Lots 3 and 5 of the Sibiu - Pitesti Motorway).

The following table shows the workforce at year end and the related average number:

31 December 2021 31 December 2022 2021 average 2022 average

Other operating expenses are made up as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Other operating costs 64,230 76,807 12,577
Non-recurring costs 6,149 19,979 13,830
Total 70,379 96,786 26,407

The increase is mostly due to the higher operating expenses of the contracts in Romania.

33.6 Impairment losses, amortisation, depreciation and provisions

33.6.1 Net impairment losses

Net impairment losses amount to €0.9 million (€17.1 million for the previous year). In 2021, they included the impairment losses of €10.6 million recognised on the Venezuelan assets.

33.6.2 Amortisation and depreciation

Amortisation and depreciation are broken down below:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 20,582 23,388 2,806
Depreciation of right-of-use assets 25,165 26,546 1,381

Amortisation of intangible assets 273 70 (203)
Total 90,014 81,639 (8,375)

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment mostly refers to the Rogun Hydropower Project in Tajikistan and the Koysha Hydroelectric Project in Ethiopia.

Depreciation of right-of-use assets principally relates to Line 16 of the Paris Metro in France and the Rogun Dam in Tajikistan.

Amortisation of contract costs decreased by €12.4 million and mainly relates to the costs incurred to acquire the EPC81 order backlog as part of the demerger of Astaldi S.p.A.'s core assets scope to Webuild.

33.6.3 Provisions

Net utilisations of provisions of €2.9 million (net accruals of €5.5 million in 2021) mainly relate to the onerous Polish contracts.

34. Net financing costs

34.1 Financial income

Financial income is broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Gains on securities - 26 26

- Leases 203 - (203)
Total 61,766 80,562 18,796

81 Engineering Procurement Construction

The increase in financial income is mostly due to: (i) the interest of €11.0 million collected after completion of the proceedings begun before the Bucharest Chamber of Commerce about Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania, and (ii) the interest of €4.5 million accrued on the additional loans (approximately €80 million) given to Yuma Concesionara S.A. during the year.

More information about intragroup interest and other income is available in note 37 and the annex on intragroup transactions attached to these notes.

34.2 Financial expense

Total (124,242) (222,790) (98,548)

The €98.5 million increase in financial expense is mostly due to: (i) the interest of €20.3 million accrued on the cash pooling account with Webuild Italia S.p.A. and Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A., (ii) impairment losses of €16.7 million (impairment gains of €6.3 million in 2021) mostly recognised on loans given to the subsidiaries Astaldi Construction Corporation, Astaldi Canada Enterprises Inc. and Astaldi Canada Inc., (iii) greater interest of €11.1 million on bonds after the issue of the new sustainability-linked notes, and (iv) the interest of €14.3 million on tax liabilities following the settlement of some tax disputes.

More information about intragroup interest and other expense is available in note 37 and the annex on intragroup transactions attached to these notes.

34.3 Net exchange gains

Net exchange gains of €64.6 million (€62.0 million in 2021) mostly relate to the Euro's performance against the US dollar, the Ethiopian birr and the Argentine peso.

35. Net gains on equity investments

More information about this item is available in the annex "Equity investments".

36. Income taxes

The company's income tax expense for the year is as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Current taxes (income taxes) 98,163 (22,258) (120,421)

IRAP 2,786 429 (2,357)
Total 96,709 13,956 (82,753)

An analysis and reconciliation of the theoretical income tax rate, calculated under Italian tax legislation, and the effective tax rate are set out below:

Income taxes

2021 2022
€m % €m %
Loss before tax (153.7) (32.5)
Theoretical tax expense (36.9) n.a. (7.8) n.a.
Effect of permanent differences 31.9 n.a. 30.1 n.a.
Net effect of foreign taxes 100.5 n.a. (18.2) n.a.
Prior year and other taxes (1.6) n.a. 9.4 n.a.
Total 93.9 n.a. 13.5 n.a.

The item reflects the permanent differences (mostly impairment losses on equity investments) and prior year taxes, partly offset by the recovery of foreign taxes as the conditions for their recovery were met.

An analysis and reconciliation of the theoretical IRAP tax rate and the effective tax rate are set out below:

IRAP

2021 2022
€m % €m %
Operating loss (50.2) (24.7)
Personnel expenses 306.4 399.3
Provisions and impairment losses 22.6 (2.0)
Revenue 278.9 372.6
Theoretical tax expense 10.9 3.9% 14.5 3.9%
Tax effect of foreign production (7.3) (2.6%) (10.5) (2.8%)
Tax effect of permanent differences (0.8) (0.3%) (3.6) (1.0%)
Total 2.8 1.0% 0.4 0.1%

The deferred taxes' contribution to the company's loss is as follows:

(€'000) 2021 2022 Variation
Deferred tax expense for the year (33,874) (41,770) (7,896)
Use of deferred tax liabilities recognised in previous years 1,519 (165) (1,684)
Deferred tax income for the year 58,743 20,112 (38,631)
Use of deferred tax assets recognised in previous years (36,957) (36,183) 774
Total (10,569) (58,006) (47,437)

The net deferred taxes are mainly due to temporary differences, the most significant of which are the unrealised exchange losses.

37. Related party transactions

Transactions performed in 2022 with related parties, as defined by IAS 24, were of an ordinary nature.

Webuild S.p.A. has been managed and coordinated by Salini Costruttori S.p.A. since 1 January 2014.

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Webuild Group (the "group"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes thereto, which include a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Webuild Group as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of Webuild S.p.A. (the "parent") in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits of financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Responsibilities of the parent's directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") for the consolidated financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern and for the appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of accounting is appropriate unless the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the parent or ceasing operations exist, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,

individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • . obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control;
  • · evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors;
  • · conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern;
  • · evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements. including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with a statement that we have complied with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the measures taken to eliminate those threats or the safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.

the carrying amount of the investments in Webuild - US

understanding the process adopted to prepare the
forecasts from which the expected cash flows used
for impairment testing have been derived;
Holding Inc. (€681.4 million), Partecipazioni Italia S.p.A.

They comprise certain investments in SPEs set up for
the performance of important projects that are involved
in pending claims and arbitration proceedings, which
the directors have described in the "Main risk factors
and uncertainties" section of the directors' report, to
which the notes to the separate financial statements
make reference.
Equity investments are measured at cost and, when
there are indicators of impairment, they are tested for
impairment by comparing their carrying amount to their
recoverable amount. The company estimated the latter
based on value in use determined using the discounted
cash flow method.
Impairment testing entails a high level of judgement, in

year forecast and actual figures, in order to check

assets arising from claims for additional consideration

Other matters - Management and coordination

As required by the law, the company disclosed the key figures from the latest financial statements of the company that manages and coordinates it in the notes to its own separate financial statements. Our opinion on the separate financial statements of Webuild S.p.A. does not extend to such data.

Responsibilities of the company's directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") for the separate financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of separate financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern and for the appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the separate financial statements and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the company or ceasing operations exist, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the separate financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a quarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control:
  • · obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control:
  • · evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors;
  • conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern;

evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the measures taken to eliminate those threats or the safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the separate financial statements of the current year and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.

Other information required by article 10 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/14

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 153 OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 58/1998 TO THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF 27 APRIL 2023

Dear shareholders,

The current board of statutory auditors was appointed by the shareholders of Webuild S.p.A. (the "company" or "Webuild") on 4 May 2020. Its term of office ends with the shareholders' meeting called to approve the separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022. The chairperson of the board of statutory auditors, Giacinto Sarubbi, held the same position in the board's previous mandate (2017-2019).

Pursuant to article 153.1 of Legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998 (the "Consolidated Finance Act" or the "TUF"), we note that we performed our supervisory and control duties prescribed by the current regulations during the year, with specific reference to the Italian Civil Code, article 148 and subsequent articles of the TUF, Legislative decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010 ("Legislative decree no. 39/2010") and Legislative decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016 ("Legislative decree no. 254/2016"). We also considered the guidelines set out in the Consob (the Italian Commission for Listed Companies and the Stock Exchange) communications about the duties of statutory auditors, the guidance of the 2020 Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies (the "Code of Corporate Governance") and the ethical standards recommended by the Italian Accounting Profession (Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili).

We have prepared this report for the ordinary shareholders' meeting called to meet on 27 April 2023 on single call to approve the separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 (as well as on the other matters listed in the call notice, to which reference should be made).

That being said, we describe below our activities performed during the year and up to the date of this report, including as required by Consob communication no. DEM/1025564 of 6 April 2001 as subsequently amended.

1. Significant financial or capital transactions

We note the following key events and transactions which took place in 2022:

  • on 28 January 2022, the company completed the issue of new unsecured fixed rate senior notes of €400 million maturing in 2026 ("€400,000,000 3.875 per cent. Sustainability-Linked Notes due 28 July 2026") pursuant to the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles published by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), to refinance part of the company's debt and to service the group's general objectives;
  • on 25 March 2022, the company's board of directors ascertained that Progetto Italia had been completed as all its objectives had been met. This led to by-laws and corporate governance changes, affecting in particular the board of directors' duties, and leading to the dissolution of the strategic committee and the setting up of a special list for shareholders that intend to avail of loyalty shares;
  • on 4 May 2022, Webuild finalised its acquisition of Cossi Costruzioni, specialised in tunnelling and in the roads maintenance sector in Italy and abroad.

After the reporting date:

  • on 3 February 2023. Webuild signed the contract to acquire assets from the Administrators of Clough Limited (Clough). The acquisition perimeter comprises Clough's organisation and more than €4 billion worth of projects (in the order backlog) and the related workforce. Following approval

from Clough's creditors of Webuild's proposed acquisition of the assets, the Group took over control and management of Clough's activities in Australia and Papua New Guinea on 16 February 2023:

on 16 March 2023, Webuild rolled out its new 2023-2025 business plan.

The directors and management informed us periodically about the operations and key transactions undertaken by the company and its subsidiaries. They also described such operations and transactions in their report, to which reference is made, with details of their characteristics and effects.

We obtained adequate information about them in order to be in a position to reasonably believe that they comply with the law, the by-laws and principles of correct administration and that they are not imprudent, risky or contrary to the resolutions taken by the shareholders or such that would compromise the company's assets.

The directors analysed the Russia-Ukraine crisis and its possible repercussions on the global economy and the Group's business, cyber risks and management of ESG risks in their report, including in the light of Consob's warning notice of 18 March 2022.

Transactions in which the directors or other related parties have an interest are subjected to the transparency procedures required by the ruling legislation.

  1. Atypical and/or unusual transactions carried out with third parties, intragroup transactions or related party transactions

We did not identify nor were we informed by the directors, the independent auditors, KPMG S.p.A., or the internal audit supervisor about any atypical and/or unusual transactions (as per the definition in Consob communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006) carried out with third parties, related parties or other group companies.

The directors described the day transactions carried out during the year with group companies and related parties in the notes to the separate financial statements to which reference should be made, also for details about their characteristics and financial effects.

They did not identify any critical issues with respect to their suitability and compliance with the company's interests.

We checked that the procedure for related party transactions adopted by the company is applied, including the regular reporting to the board of directors on any such transactions.

3. Comments on and proposals about the findings and disclosures in the independent auditors' report

On 4 April 2023, KPMG S.p.A. issued its report pursuant to article 14 of Legislative decree no. 39/2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) no. 537 of 16 April 2014 ("Regulation EU 537/2014"). KPMG S.p.A. states that, in its opinion:

  • the separate and consolidated financial statements of Webuild S.p.A. give a true and fair view of the financial position of the company and the group as at 31 December 2022 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38 of 28 February 2005 ("Legislative decree no. 38/2005");

  • the directors' report and the specific information presented in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure are consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements of the company and the group at 31 December 2022 and have been prepared in compliance with the applicable law:

  • there is nothing to report with reference to the statement required by article 14.2.e) of Legislative

decree no. 39/2010 based on KPMG S.p.A.'s knowledge and understanding of the entity and its environment obtained through its audit;

  • the separate financial statements have been prepared in XHTML format in compliance with the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815;

  • the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in XHTML format and have been marked, in all material respects, in compliance with the provisions of Commission Deleaged Requiation (EU) 2019/815. Due to certain technical limitations, some information included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when extracted from the XHTML format to an XBRL instance may not be reproduced in an identical manner with respect to the corresponding information presented in the consolidated financial statements in XHTML format.

On 4 April 2023, KPMG S.p.A. also issued its additional report pursuant to article 11 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 confirming, inter alia, that no significant deficiencies in internal control and/or the accounting system were identified.

KPMG S.p.A.'s reports detail the key audit matters with reference should be made thereto.

On 4 April 2023, KPMG S.p.A. issued its attestation of compliance on the information provided in the Consolidated Non-financial Statement required by articles 3 and 4 of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and the GRI Standards. Its conclusion does not extend to the information set out in the "EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities" section of the NFS required by article 8 of Regulation (EU) 852 of 18 June 2020.

4. Complaints as per article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code, actions taken by the board of statutory auditors and related outcome

In 2022, we received a complaint as per article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code from a holder of 100 shares about their right to inspect the shareholder register in accordance with article 2422 of the Italian Civil Code and its proper keeping. Based on the results of our checks, we did not identify any critical issues or wrongdoings to be brought to your attention.

On 23 March 2023, we received a complaint from the common representative of the savings shareholders, Stella d'Atri, about the alleged lack of information about the company's results in its press release of 16 March 2023 necessary to allow her to assess the lawfulness of the non-distribution of the minimum dividend to the savings shareholders envisaged by article 34 of the by-laws. While we do not believe the common representative has the powers to exercise the right that article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code reserves exclusively to the shareholders, we undertook the necessary checks. We noted that the published press release includes the company's statement of profit or loss figures on page 17, showing that the company has not made the necessary profits to allow distribution of the dividend as per article 34 of the by-laws. Therefore, we did not identify any critical issues that require remediation.

The company has a whistleblowing procedure and information channels suitable to ensure the receipt, analysis and processing of reports about internal control, corporate information, the company's administrative liability, fraud or other issues by employees, members of the company bodies or third parties, which can also be made confidentially or anonymously.

5. Engagement of independent auditors and related fees

We confirm that the fees received by KPMG S.p.A. for its attestation services amount to €138,000. This amount consists of €118,000 for engagements approved by us in advance and €20,000 for engagements not approved in advance as they were either for amounts below the threshold established in the Procedure for the conferral of engagements to audit companies or related to longterm services approved in previous years.

Reference should be made to the table presenting the fees paid to KPMG S.p.A. and its network entities in 2022 provided in the notes to the separate financial statements.

Pursuant to article 6.2.a) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014, KPMG S.p.A. provided us with the statement that, considering the services it provided, it remained independent vis-à-vis the company and the Group throughout the year.

6. Main opinions issued by the board of statutory auditors in accordance with the ruling regulations

During 2022, we specifically:

  • examined and found in favour of the 2022 audit plan prepared by the internal audit supervisor approved by the board of directors. We were also informed that this plan was revisited to include the activities required during the year:
  • issued our reasoned recommendation on the integration of the fees requested by the independent auditors engaged to perform the statutory audit of the financial statements for the nine-year period from 2015 to 2023, supporting the proposals made to the shareholders in their ordinary meeting of 28 April 2022;

(IX Edition, January 2022);
  • found that the targets of the 2021 short-term incentive plan for the chief executive officer, the general managers and key management personnel had been met in line with the 2021 remuneration policy. Specifically, we examined and found in favour of the remuneration package for the control departments (internal audit & compliance director and group risk officer);
  • found in favour of the 2022 remuneration policy and examined and found in favour of the remuneration report approved by the board of directors in its meeting of 5 April 2022.

  • issued our favourable opinion pursuant to article 19.1.e) of Legislative decree no. 39/2010 and article 5 of Regulation EU 537/2014 about the assignment of non-audit services to the independent auditors;
  • found in favour of, pursuant to article 4.6 of Consob resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 as subsequently amended, the compliance of the update to the company's procedure for related party transactions with the principles set out in this Regulation;
  • found in favour of the co-option of Andrea Alghisi and Francesco Renato Mele, replacing outdoing directors Pierpaolo Di Stefano and Tommaso Sabato, in accordance with article 2386.1 of the Italian Civil Code and article 20 of the by-laws;
  • given the scale and complexity of the group, including to comply with the cooling-in period introduced by article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014, started the procedure to select new independent auditors for the 2024-2032 period one year in advance.

During the period from 31 December 2022 and up until the date of this report, we also:

  • examined and found in favour of the 2023 audit plan prepared by the internal audit supervisor approved by the board of directors;
  • completed the procedure to select the new independent auditors for the 2024-2032 period, issuing our reasoned recommendation in accordance with article 13 of Legislative decree no. 39/2010;
  • found that the targets of the 2022 short-term incentive plan and the 2020-2022 long-term incentive plan for the chief executive officer, the general managers and kev management personnel had been met in line with the 2022 remuneration policy. Specifically, we examined and found in favour of the remuneration package for the chief executive officer, as per article 2389 of the Italian Civil Code, and the control departments (internal audit & compliance director and group risk officer);
  • found in favour of the 2023-2025 remuneration policy and examined and found in favour of the remuneration report approved by the board of directors in its meeting of 16 March 2023.

  • examined and found in favour of the 2022 report on corporate governance and the ownership structure approved by the board of directors on 16 March 2023; we checked that it included the information required by article 123-bis of the TUF and the recommendations of the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee of 25 January 2023 and was consistent with the template prepared by Borsa Italiana S.p.A ..

Reference should be made to the "Final assessment of the supervisory activities and proposal to the shareholders" section for information on our activities carried on the separate and consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022.

7. Frequency of attendance at company body meetings

In 2022, most meetings were held using audio/video conference devices (as established by the bylaws) to comply with the public authorities' measures brought in to contain the Covid-19 emergency and for prudent reasons. Developments in the pandemic allowed a return to in-person meetings during the second half of 2022 and in 2023.

As the company was able to ensure reliably that meetings were held correctly and on a timely basis and it has an adequate information communication system, we believe that adoption of this method did not diminish or affect the reliability of the information received or the effectiveness of our activities.

In 2022, we attended all 14 meetings of the board of directors during which we were informed about the operations and key transactions performed by the company and its subsidiaries. We also received information about the exercise of his powers from the chief executive officer.

We met 19 times in 2022 and during our meetings, some of which were held jointly with the control, risk and sustainability committee, we exchanged information with the independent auditors and this committee to ensure that no transactions took place that were imprudent or risky, could give rise to potential conflicts of interest, are not compliant with the law or the company's by-laws or the shareholders' resolutions or that could prejudice the company's assets.

We attended 11 meetings of the control, risk and sustainability committee, nine meetings of the compensation and nominating committee, three meetings of the committee for related-party transactions and three meetings of the strategic committee (attended by our chairperson).

We also participated in the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings held on 28 April 2022 and the special meetings of the savings shareholders of 23 June and 29 November 2022.

During 2023 and up to the date of this report, we attended all the meetings of the company bodies and, specifically, 3 meetings of the board of directors, five meetings of the control, risk and sustainability committee, four meetings of the compensation and nominating committee and one meeting of the committee for related-party transactions. We have carried out 10 checks so far this year.

8. Compliance with correct administration standards

We have no comments to make about compliance with such standards based on our work. We checked that the directors are aware of the riskiness and effects of the transactions performed.

Specifically, we checked that management decisions were taken in the company's interests, in line with its resources and assets and that they were adequately supported by information, analysis and checking processes, including by resort to the committees and external professionals, when necessary.

9. Adequacy of the organisational structure

We obtained information about the company's organisational structure and any modifications thereto on a regular basis, including through meetings with the competent company managers. As a result, we believe that the company's organisational structure, procedures, duties and responsibilities are adequate given its size and type of activities.

We also checked the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structures of the company and its key subsidiary Lane Industries.

10. Adequacy of internal controls and risk management system

We supervised the adequacy of the internal controls and risk management systems of the company and its key subsidiary Lane Industries as follows:

  • a. we regularly obtained information from the chief executive officer, the manager in charge of financial reporting, the internal audit supervisor, the compliance supervisor, the group risk officer and the heads of the other departments involved from time about the activities carried out, the mapping of risks related to ongoing activities, test programmes and projects to implement internal controls; we also obtained the related documentation;
  • b. we participated regularly in the activities of the control, risk and sustainability committee set up in line with the Code of Corporate Governance as well as the board of directors' meetings;
  • c. we reviewed the reports of the control, risk and sustainability committee periodically;
  • d. we reviewed the internal audit reports on the internal units of both the branches and head office and the working of the Group's internal controls and risk management system; we also monitored the implementation of remedial actions identified as a result of the internal audit; we reviewed the internal audit report prepared every six months by the internal audit supervisor on the activities performed during the period, and the internal audit supervisor's positive assessment of the internal controls and risk management system given the company's characteristics and risk profile;
  • e. we discussed the methods adopted to manage risk within the company, compliance with the related containment plans and strategic containment and efficiency objectives;
  • f. we reviewed the reports of the compliance department on the prevention, monitoring and management of the risk of non-compliance with the law and anti-corruption regulations.

We also:

  • checked that the company has an organisational, management and control model which complies with the provisions of Legislative decree no. 231/01 and the guidelines issued by the sector

associations, most recently updated by the board of directors on 14 October 2020;

  • checked that the company has an anti-corruption model, which the board of directors last updated on 15 December 2020;
  • examined the integrity board's regular reports as required by Legislative decree no. 231/2001, which summarise its activities of the year; we also met with the board's members;
  • met the statutory auditors of the wholly-controlled subsidiaries Partecipazioni Italia and Webuild Italia in 2022 and 2023 to exchange information about, inter alia, the subsidiaries' operations and compliance with instructions received from the company, their internal controls and organisation, the composition and activities performed by the integrity boards, committees and internal audit department.

During our work, we:

  • a) did not identify any critical situations or facts that would have led us to believe that the internal controls and risk management systems of the company and its key subsidiary Lane Industries were inadequate during the year, acknowledging the board of directors' positive assessment in this respect:
  • b) based also on the information provided by the chairperson of the integrity board and the reports referred to above which stated that no censurable events or violations of the model took place in 2022, to the extent of our duties, we deem that the above model is suitable to prevent the crimes covered by the aforesaid regulations and has been implemented properly, without considering the additional updates to the model to be made in 2023 to comply with the new recent requirements;
  • c) acknowledged the board of directors' positive assessment of the adequacy and correct working of the internal controls and risk management system in 2022.

11. Adequacy of the administrative-accounting system and its reliability

To the extent of our duties, we monitored the adequacy of the administrative and accounting system and its ability to correctly show the company's operations and the activities undertaken as coordinated by the manager in charge of financial reporting to comply with Law no. 262/05 on guidelines for the protection of savings and regulation of financial markets as subsequently amended and integrated by:

  • a) obtaining information from the manager in charge of financial reporting and the different department heads, including through participation in the activities carried out by the control, risk and sustainability committee;
  • b) obtaining information about the procedures adopted and instructions issued by the company for the preparation of the 2022 Annual Report and the 2022 Interim Financial Report;
  • c) obtaining information about the existence of the conditions required by article 15 of the Market Regulation adopted with Consob resolution no. 20249 of 28 December 2017 for significant subsidiaries set up in and regulated by laws of non-EU states. We also checked that circumstances entailing non-compliance with the conditions did not exist as they would have required reporting to Consob and Borsa Italiana S.p.A. pursuant to article 15.1.c.ii of the Regulation;
  • d) reviewing the reports prepared by the manager in charge of financial reporting and the internal audit supervisor on the effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures pursuant to Law no. 262/05 and the results of the related tests as per the annual mandate assigned by the manager in charge of financial reporting;
  • e) meeting the independent auditors and analysing the findings of their work;
  • f) reviewing internal documents.
  • We also acknowledged that, independently and before the approval of the separate financial

statements, the board of directors approved the impairment test applied by the company during preparation of the separate financial statements at 31 December 2022 and the impairment test procedures to be applied to the financial statements of the group companies, after receiving the favourable opinion of the control. risk and sustainability committee and pursuant to the recommendations issued by the ESMA on 21 January 2013, the ioint Bank of Italy/Consob/Isvap document no. 4 of 3 March 2010 and Consob communication no. 3907 of 19 January 2015.

We did not identify any critical situations or facts during the above activities that would have led us to believe that the adequacy or reliability of company's administrative and accounting system had been compromised during the year.

12. Adequacy of the instructions given to subsidiaries

The company regulates the information provided by the subsidiaries, especially that related to more important transactions, with specific procedures.

We believe that the instructions issued by the company to its subsidiaries pursuant to article 114.2 of the TUF are adequate to ensure compliance with the legal disclosure requirements.

13. Issues which arose during meetings with the independent auditors

During our activities related to the 2022 Annual Report, we met the independent auditors:

  • to exchange information about the checks performed in accordance with Legislative decree no. 39/2010 and article 150.3 of the TUF to ensure the company's accounts were kept properly and that the accounting entries accurately reflected its operations. No issues arose as a result of these meetings;
  • to examine and assess the procedures used to prepare the 2022 Interim Financial Report and the 2022 Annual Report, including the assessment of the correct application of the accounting policies and their consistency; we also reviewed the audit findings and assessment of these reports;

Specifically, we:

  • analysed the audit procedures performed by the independent auditors and, in particular, their methodology, the audit approach to key audit matters and audit planning;
  • discussed issues related to the company's risks with the independent auditors and were favourably impressed by the adequacy of their planned approach to the structural and risk profiles of the company and the Group.

In addition to that set out in paragraph 3, we also:

  • a) received the additional report from the independent auditors pursuant to article 11.2 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 on key audit matters and any significant deficiencies identified in the internal controls over financial reporting stating that no significant deficiencies were identified;
  • b) acknowledged KPMG's statement of its independence pursuant to article 6 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 attached to the additional report, which did not report situations that could have compromised its independence;
  • c) discussed the risks related to the independent auditors' independence and the measures adopted to limit these risks in accordance with article 6.2.b) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.
  • 14.Compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance of the Corporate Governance Committee of Listed companies

The company complies with the 2020 Code of Corporate Governance of Listed Companies, effective since 1 January 2021.

During 2022 and up until the date of preparation of this report, we checked that the corporate governance rules applicable from time to time were properly complied with in accordance with article 149.1.c-bis) of the TUF. Specifically:

  • the correct application of the criteria and procedures used by the board of directors to assess the independence of its members;
  • the self-assessment performed by the board of directors and its committees;
  • the company's corporate governance structure.

We note that the board of directors examined the recommendations made by the Corporate Governance Committee in its letter dated 25 January 2023 from the committee chairperson, Lucia Calvosa, to the chairpersons of the boards of directors of Italian listed companies and copied to the chief executive officers and chairpersons of the boards of statutory auditors in order to take the necessary resolutions. In turn, we examined the recommendations in so far as they extended to the board of statutory auditors.

We monitored the activities of the board committees, including with respect to the requirements of the Code of Corporate Governance.

....

In addition to that set out above, we:

  • checked the compliance of the board's composition with the law in terms of gender and its adequacy with respect to age diversity and professional experience and background of its members. We did not find it necessary to communicate the need to adopt additional and/or specific diversity policies to the board of directors;
  • assessed that the board had carried out its duties correctly and efficiently, considering the professionalism, experience and competence of its members and compliance with the regulations about the number of positions that can be held, the time dedicated to carry out their activities and the functionality and quality of the information exchanged with the board of directors, the control, risk and sustainability committee, the independent auditors and other control functions;
  • regularly checked that we met the independence criteria pursuant to the relevant legislation, regulations and self-assessment criteria; the outcome of these checks was positive;
  • prepared the reports summarising our control activities performed in 2021 as required by Consob communication no. 1025564 of 6 April 2001:
  • monitored compliance with the election regulations for the appointment of directors and statutory auditors pursuant to article 149 of the TUF and Consob communication no. DEM/9017893 of 26 February 2009 and the correct presentation of the lists, given that a new board of statutory auditors is to be elected for the 2023-2025 three-year term.

15. Comments on Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine crisis

During the year, we continued to monitor developments in the reference legislative framework and measures issued by the competent authorities to combat the Covid-19 pandemic that has continued into 2022 to the extent of our supervisory duties. We received constant information from the company about the actions taken to protect the health of its employees in accordance with the emergency regulations in place from time to time. We have no information in this respect to be communicated to the shareholders.

We noted that, as allowed by article 3.10-undecies of Decree law no. 198 of 29 December 2022. converted by Law no. 14 of 24 February 2023 (which extended the measures of article 106.4 of Law decree no. 18 of 17 March 2020, converted by Law no. 27 of 24 April 2020), participation in the

<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->

shareholders' meeting will solely take place through the proxy designated by the company in accordance with article 135-undecies of the TUF (Monte Titoli S.p.A.) as in-person attendance is not envisaged.

We also monitored the repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine war.

More information is available in the "Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine crisis" section of the Directors' report

The directors stated that they have not identified critical factors that could trigger a financial stress scenario at the date of preparation of this report.

In addition, the directors set out the company's strategies and its 2023 objectives in the "Outlook" section of their report. These forecasts are based on the assumption that no significant changes will take place in the ongoing geopolitical crisis with the war in Ukraine and the public health emergency and that the macroeconomic scenario will not undergo extreme disruption.

16. Consolidated Non-financial Statement

We checked compliance of the company's Consolidated Non-financial Statement (the "NFS") with the provisions of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and Consob regulation no. 20267 of 18 January 2018 ("Consob regulation no. 20267/2018").

We noted that, as parent, the company prepared the NFS in accordance with articles 3 and 4 of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards (the "GRI Standards") defined by GRI - Global Reporting Initiative, identified as the reporting standards by the directors as described in the "Methodology for reporting non-financial information" section of the NFS.

We checked compliance with the provisions of Legislative decree no. 254/2016, ascertaining that the NFS provides an understanding of the Group, its performance, results and impacts and that the NFS discloses information on environmental, social, human resources, respect for human rights and governance issues, considering the company's activities and characteristics in accordance with that set out in article 3 of Legislative decree no. 254/2016.

We discussed the procedures performed by the independent auditors on the NFS with them and were informed that no critical issues arose.

We also checked the board of directors' approval of the Consolidated Non-financial Statement on 16 March 2023 and the expression by the independent auditors of a conclusion about its compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements of articles 3 and 4 of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and the GRI Standards on 4 April 2023. KPMG's conclusion does not extend to the information set out in the "EU taxonomy for sustainable economic activities" section of the NFS required by article 8 of Regulation (EU) 852 of 18 June 2020.

Final assessment of the supervisory activities and proposal to the shareholders

Based on that set out above, during the year:

  • we monitored compliance with the law and by-laws, the principles of correct administration and, specifically, the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting models adopted by the company and their correct working;
  • we monitored compliance with the disclosure requirements about confidential information;
  • we monitored the working and efficiency of the internal controls and administrative-accounting system in order to assess their compliance with the company's requirements and reliability in presenting its operations;

  • we monitored compliance with the laws about the preparation, checks, approval and publication of the company's separate financial statements and the preparation, checks and publication of the Group's consolidated financial statements and the directors' report for 2022, including through direct checks and information obtained from the independent auditors, assessing the appropriateness of the impairment method;
  • we checked that, pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and Legislative decree no. 38/2005, the separate financial statements of Webuild S.p.A. and the consolidated financial statements of Webuild Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS endorsed by the European Commission and integrated by the interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
  • we checked that the company had taken the necessary measures to prepare its separate and consolidated financial statements in electronic format (using XHTML technology) as prescribed by the ESEF Regulation;
  • we monitored compliance with the procedure for preparation and presentation of the separate financial statements to the shareholders;
  • we monitored the financial reporting process, the effectiveness of internal controls, internal audit and risk management systems pursuant to article 19.1 of Legislative decree no. 39/2010 and informed the board of directors of the findings of the statutory audit;
  • we monitored compliance with the provisions of Legislative decree no. 254/2016 and Consob regulation no. 20267/2018 on the preparation of the Consolidated Non-financial Statement;

That being said, no reprehensible behaviour, omissions or irregularities were noted during our work that would require communication to the competent bodies.

As a result, we invite the shareholders to approve the separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 presented to you by the board of directors together with its report and proposal.
