Webuild Group

Global Leader

Webuild is a major global operator specialised in building large complex infrastructure for the sustainable mobility, hydropower, water and green buildings sectors.

With 117 years of engineering experience deployed on five continents, drawing on the skills of 85,000 people of more than 115 nationalities, Webuild builds complex, long-lasting infrastructure, assisting its customers to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), combat climate change and engage in the energy transition. Infrastructure provides a concrete response to the main global megatrends, such as population growth, urbanisation, resource scarcity and climate change, improving people's quality of life.

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

Recognised by Engineering News-Record (ENR) as the world's top contractor in the water infrastructure sector and one of the Top 10 for the construction of large sustainable mobility works, the Group also leads its domestic market and is one of the main players on the international stage (it is one of the Top 10 construction operators in Europe and an international player in Australia and the United States.

Webuild is the most recent chapter in a century-old story. Its journey of the first years of this century has catapulted the Group into prime position in the Italian infrastructure sector and it also became a protagonist on the international stage. In September 2011, Salini S.p.A. began to purchase Impregilo S.p.A.shares on the market and concluded the acquisition by merging with Impregilo in 2014 to create Salini Impregilo S.p.A.. In the ensuing years, it pinpointed a strategy to expand in lower-risk countries, which included the acquisition of Lane in the United States in 2016.

The Group's growth process was continued in 2019 with "Progetto Italia", an initiative to reinforce and relaunch the construction sector in Italy. Its aim was to create a large group in line with its European peers, a stronger home base and to be more competitive in international markets. The initiative was promoted and backed by CDP Equity and major Italian banks, including Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit, which currently have an approximate 26% stake in Webuild.

Today, Webuild S.p.A. ("Webuild"), together with its 17.5 thousand2 partners, works in roughly 50 countries, focusing its business in Italy, Europe, North America and Australia, in line with its derisking strategy.

H1 2023 revenue by geographical area

Business areas: our contribution to a sustainable world

Webuild conceives, designs and builds complex infrastructure for the sustainable mobility, hydro energy, water and green buildings sectors.

Over more than a century, Webuild has built some of the world's most iconic infrastructure projects, pursuing sustainable development objectives and partnering with its customers to tackle the global challenges tied to the primary needs of the local areas and their communities.

Most of the Group's projects are eligible under the EU taxonomy of environmentally sustainable economic activities as they can potentially make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation and/or adaptation.

Strategies and objectives: The future is now

The 2023-2025 business plan represents the 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, 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 customersin their climate and energy transition, tackling the challenges posed by the global megatrends, such as climate change, population growth, urbanisation and water scarcity.

The business plan leverages three drivers for an increasingly sustainable business:

i) Business growth

The Group has a robust order backlog of €60.7 billion at June 2023, which covers 100% of its forecast revenue and EBITDA for the entire 2023-2025 period.

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.

It also intends to build up certain group companies so they can exploit new market opportunities, including through their reorganisation.

ii) Operating efficiency and cash generation

Webuild continues to closely monitor its head office and work site costs and to make its investment plan for the 2023-2025 period more efficient.

These actions will allow the Group to improve its cash generation and financial structure.

iii) Investments in safety, innovation and the environment

For Webuild, it is not only important what is built, but also how it is built. The Group builds innovative infrastructure that contributes to the development and well-being of local communities, concretely responding to global challenges, contributing to the economic and social development of the areas in which it operates, and ensuring people's well-being and respect for the environment.

The Group's 5 Priorities it pursues to ensure excellence, innovation and respect for its stakeholders are: Planet, People, Partnership, Progress and Prosperity.

Webuild has developed its sustainability strategy based on these five pillars with investments in three strategic areas - Green, Safety & Inclusion and Innovation, for which it has already achieved important results over the years, as confirmed by its independent ESG ratings.

Webuild is one of the first in its sector in Europe - in 2002 - to have drawn up a dedicated Environmental Policy. It intends to continue to lead by example, prioritising protection of the environment and continuing its journey towards decarbonisation. During the 2020-2022 three-year period, it cut its GHG emissions by 164 thousand tons, including both emissions generated by activities performed at the work sites and offices (scope 1 & 2) and by 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).

The Group's commitment to continuously improving the occupational health and safety of its people is pivotal to its strategy. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) dropped 41% in 2022 compared to the 2017 baseline, exceeding the -40% target for the year.

These milestones are the result of continuous investment in programmes designed to promote a safety culture in all its work places, such as the award-winning occupational culture-change Safety Builders Program. The Group is also accelerating the development of innovative solutions capable of improving – through the ever more embedded use of technology – the safety of the high-risk plants, machinery and work areas, which it also does with new immersive learning methods for workers using 3D virtual reality simulators.

In an era of technological and environmental challenges, innovation is a strategic lever that the Group is investing in increasingly at both project and corporate level. Its aim is to optimise the time and costs of its projects and its social and environmental performances by improving safety conditions and the impact on the infrastructure's environment.

Webuild'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.

At project level, in addition to researching new 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. Webuild'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 customers' requirements while protecting the local environment and communities.

Between 2018 and 2022, the Group has invested more than ever before: in excess of €118 million in innovation, research and development projects. These projects have involved an average of around 380 group specialised resources each year.

The greater focus on innovation extended to the recruiting of young people as a lever to drive the paradigm shift process faced by the Group and the construction sector as a whole. Webuild has prioritised recruiting, training and the development of its younger resources for many years by designing dedicated professional and training paths. The Group's Webuild Next-Gen programme includes various initiatives such as, for example, the Alberto Giovannini Award, to reward the best dissertations and research projects on innovation in the infrastructure sector of university graduates and universities in Italy.

At present, 45% of Webuild's employees are under 35 years old and more than half the new hires of 2023 are under 35.

Directors' report - Part I

Milestones achieved in the first half of 2023

Key milestones of the six months

Order backlog

In first half of 2023, the total order backlog amounts to €60.7 billion, including €51.4 billion for construction contracts and €9.4 billion related to concessions and operations & maintenance projects. The construction order backlog continued to grow, increasing by more than 15% on 31 December 2022.

Over 90% of the construction order 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 (78% of the total construction order backlog). They are mainly in segments linked to sustainable mobility, such as high-speed railway lines, the railway sector and the road sector. A breakdown of the construction order backlog by geographical area and business area is as follows:

Total new orders acquired, including change orders, approximate €17.7 billion, of which roughly 90% obtained in key low-risk geographical areas. They include calls for tenders worth €4.4 billion for which Webuild is the preferred bidder.

A breakdown of the new orders and details of the main contracts won by geographical area is provided below:

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 conditions.

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 31 to the condensed interim 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 the first half of 2023

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. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that global growth was around 3.4% in 2022, down on the 6.2% of 2021.

The initial signs for 2023 indicate that the global economy is poised for a gradual recovery thanks to the dissipation of the effects of the pandemic and the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. China is showing strong recovery after its economic re-opening after the last waves of Covid-19. The supply chain disruptions are easing and pressure on the energy and food markets caused by the war is also diminishing. At the same time, the tighter monetary policies implemented by most central banks are beginning to give results, with inflation expected to return to target levels although over a longer timeline than originally forecast.

However, some of the factors that held back the global economy in 2022 continue to linger, such as the high level of debt which limits countries' ability to implement effective tax measures. Commodity prices, which spiked after the outbreak of hostilities between Russian and Ukraine, have partly returned to more normal levels but there are continued concerns about a potential escalation in the war. Crude oil prices are now in line with those of the second half of 2021 at around USD75 a barrel. Gas futures on the Dutch TTF market have dropped 94% compared to the highs of August 2022.

Eurostat's most recent figures show inflation in the Eurozone at 6.1% in May 2023, down from the 8.1% of one year earlier.

The main central banks have responded to inflation concerns by continuing their tight monetary policies. They again raised rates in the first few months of 2023 albeit by smaller percentages given the downwards trend in inflation rates, weakened economic activity and financial tensions caused by the financial difficulties encountered by some banks. The Fed rates reached 5.25% while the ECB raised its rates to 4%, reaching the alltime highs of the 2007-2028 global financial crisis.

The US economy showed its resilience to the Federal Reserve's considerably tougher monetary policy of 2022 with GDP up over 2%. Growth was driven by rising consumer demand, fuelled in part by a reduction in private savings and the unemployment rate, especially for women and African Americans, down to all-time lows with

real wage growth surpassing that of inflation from the second half of 2022. The IMF expects fiscal policy to become expansionary and pro-cyclical again in 2023, even though public debt is well above pre-pandemic levels and continues to rise.

The Eurozone recorded an even better performance with growth up 3.5% in 2022, exceeding the growth projections made after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. A warmer-than-usual winter and more gas supply sources, which lowered prices, offset the macroeconomic impacts of the war in Ukraine. The IMF expects this growth will continue albeit at a slower pace throughout 2023 and 2024 fuelled by a recovery in real income, further improvement in supply chains and growing foreign demand.

Although lower than the 7% achieved in 2021, the Italian economy grew 3.7% in 2022, bolstered by the upturn in tourist-related services and manufacturing activities in the first half of the year and the resumption of infrastructure investments. A drop in consumption was staved off by dipping heavily into the savings accumulated during the pandemic. Employment grew strongly with the unemployment rate at the lowest level of the past decade. The debt/GDP ratio decreased by more than 10 percentage points compared to the peak in 2020 thanks to the significant improvement in nominal GDP. The upturn in GDP in the next few years will mostly be driven by the investments available under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Australia's economy grew 3.7% in 2022 putting it in a stronger position compared to many other advanced economies. The IMF expects inflation to gradually decelerate towards the 2-3% target by the end of 2024. The growth rate is forecast to slow down in 2023, mainly as a result of the erosion of real income, falling house prices and weak global growth leading to smaller export volumes.

Of the other markets important to the Group, the Middle East proved resilient in 2022, posting growth of 5.3%. The IMF expects this trend to slow in 2023, due to both the restrictive policies introduced to combat inflation and the oil production cuts agreed by the OPEC members.

Robust megatrends: investments in infrastructure to drive 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 reached nearly €6 trillion in 2022, an 18% increase over 2021, fuelled by the infrastructure segment, which rose by 20%. This positive trend is expected to continue with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of over 8% in 2022-2025 despite the impact of factors like the increase in the cost of raw materials and the saturated labour market in some areas of the world, which hold back the sector's growth.

Investments in infrastructure are one of the main drivers of the sector's overall growth. The easing of postpandemic restrictions has enabled recovery of works on large projects in 2021 and 2022 and Global Data expects investments to grow strongly over the next few years, especially as a result of the extensive investment programmes in Europe and the United States.

The outlook for this sector over the next few years is boosted by certain main global megatrends, such as population growth, urbanisation, the rising scarcity of resources and climate change, with the consequent investments in infrastructure necessary to mitigate their effect. The eruption of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and the sudden upswing in natural gas prices highlighted the need to diversify energy supplies. Given the growing political desire to decarbonise the global economy, investments are increasingly earmarked for new projects to obtain electrical energy from renewable sources such as wind, hydroelectric and solar energy.

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 almost 13% in 2022 while the infrastructure segment grew more than 14%.

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 market is expected to continue to grow in the next few years, thanks mostly to the investments made available under this Plan.

The new Procurement Code was published in the Italian Official Journal in March 2023, establishing certain fundamental guidelines to relaunch the sector such as: i) the inclusion of the list of priority works directly in the Economic and Financial Document, ii) the digitalisation of the tendering bodies, iii) the shortening of contract assignment times, iv) a price revision clause, v) streamlining and acceleration of payment methods, with provision for contract advances of up to 30%, and vi) the set up of a technical consultancy board whose decisions on disputes between customers and general contracts becomes immediately effective.

The US and Australian construction sectors grew over 15% in 2022. According to Global Data, the numerous investment plans, such as the Investment and Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act will all drive strong growth in the next few years in the civil, industrial and energy infrastructure sectors in the United States. The increase in investments in the Australian construction sector will be bolstered by public infrastructure, mostly in the transport, renewable energies, mining and oil & gas sectors.

The work mostly consists of doubling the historic line and rehabilitating 46 km of the existing line, building five railway stations, including the related buildings, three metal bridges, 11 steel-concrete composite bridges and additional works.

Frontieră - Curtici - Simeria railway line

The contract of RON6.9 billion covers the rehabilitation of 120 km of the Frontieră - Curtici - Simeria railway line (split into three lots), which is part of the Pan European Corridor IV. The customer is CFR (the Romanian National Railways Company). The works are 75% funded by the EU as part of the LIOP and 25% by the state.

  • Lot 3 the contract includes the rehabilitation of 36 km of the Frontieră Curtici Simeria railway line and the construction of a new 5 km section between Gurasada and Simeria for a total length of 41 km. It also comprises the construction of three metal bridges over the Mures River and four overpasses in urban areas, electrification and the renovation of four railway stations and four stops. In the first half of 2023, activities continued to lay the ballast, build the superstructure, and carry out the electrification works and restructuring of the Simeria Station. The contract has been awarded to a joint venture which includes Webuild (49.5%).
  • Lots 2A and 2B these lots include the rehabilitation of around 80 km of the railway line as well as the construction of seven stations, four stops, 36 bridges and a tunnel. The contract has been awarded to a joint venture led by Webuild (49.5%).

During the first half of 2023, the works related to the railway infrastructure for Lot 2A were nearly completed while the site possession activities for Lot 2B related to the excavation in hard rock were resumed.

Braila Bridge

The works, worth RON3 billion, are part of the country's transport master plan and are financed using EU funds as part of the LIOP. Commissioned by CNAIR, the contract covers the design and construction of a suspension bridge and roughly 23 km of national roads and related works and was awarded to a joint venture led by the Group (60%).

The bridge is the longest in Romania and the second longest suspension bridge in continental Europe.

In the first half of 2023, works on the suspended bridge (waterproofing of metal deck segments, laying of asphalt, installation of safety barriers and road lighting system) were completed. In June, the inspections, including static and dynamic load tests were concluded.

Construction of the maintenance facility and the toll gates was also completed along with roughly 9.5 km of the road making the bridge ready for use. Completion of these works has meant that the suspended bridge and access roads can be opened to the public.

Work to move the materials and complete the road infrastructure with all the related engineering and hydraulic structures has continued on the remaining roughly 12 km of the roads (which is not essential to allow the bridge to be used).

(*) 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 period is €4,564.4 million compared to €3,873.1 million for the corresponding period of 2022. The increase of €691.4 million (18%) is fuelled by the continuation of activities in Italy (bolstered by the investments in sustainable mobility under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan - high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa, Verona - Padua and Naples - Bari railway lines) and abroad, and specifically in Australia (Snowy Hydro 2.0 and the North East Link in Melbourne) and the Middle East (Diriyah Square Super Basement in Saudi Arabia).

The adjusted gross operating profit amounts to €288.5 million (EBITDA margin 6.3%), up 15% or €37.3 million on the corresponding period of 2022, while the adjusted operating profit comes to €138.6 million (EBIT margin 3.0%) showing an 11.5% or €14.3 million increase on the first six months of 2022.

Net financing costs approximate €68.1 million compared to net financing income of €49.5 million for the corresponding period of 2022.

They include:

  • financial expense of €110.7 million (€ 88.9 million), partly offset by financial income of €32.3 million (€66.7 million);
  • net exchange gains of €10.2 million (net gains of €71.7 million).

The rise in net financing costs is mostly due to i) currency issues given the US dollar's significant appreciation against the Euro in the reporting period, ii) the decrease in financial income (financial income in the corresponding period of the previous year included €29 million from the discharging of debts of the subsidiary Afragola FS and the interest collected after settlement of the dispute with the customer for Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania, and iii) the increase in the cost of debt reflecting the performance of the benchmark rates.

The adjusted profit before tax amounts to €76.8 million compared to €173.7 million for the corresponding period of the previous year.

Adjusted income taxes for the period amount to €48.8 million compared to €71.3 million for the first half of 2022.

The adjusted profit from continuing operations comes to €28.0 million compared to a profit of €102.4 million for the corresponding period of the previous year.

The profit attributable to non-controlling interests is €4.4 million compared to €23.8 million for the first half of 2022.

As a result of the above, the adjusted profit attributable to the owners of the parent amounts to €23.0 million compared to a profit of €63.8 million for the corresponding period of previous year.

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

Revenue

Revenue for the period amounts to €4,536.0 million (€3,835.5 million), including €2,643.1 million earned abroad (€2,170.3 million), €1,328.9 million in Italy (€1,050.6 million) and €564.1 million in the US (€614.5 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 (Australia, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Romania).

Operating profit

The operating profit amounts to €108.4 million compared to a profit of €39.4 million for the corresponding period of the previous year.

Net impairment losses amount to €0.5 million. The balance of €53.8 million for the first half of 2022 included the impairment losses of €52.3 million recognised on trade receivables for activities performed in Ukraine.

Amortisation, depreciation and provisions of €183.1 million (€162.5 million) comprise:

  • depreciation of property, plant and equipment of €102.0 million (€77.9 million);
  • depreciation of right-of-use assets of €29.9 million (€39.4 million);
  • amortisation of contract costs and intangible assets of €49.5 million (€55.4 million), including €33.6 million (€36.9 million) on the contract acquisition costs recognised as a result of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi;
  • accruals to provisions for risks for a net €1.6 million compared to net utilisations of €10.2 million for the first half of 2022.

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

The Group recognised net financing costs of €68.1 million (net financing income of €49.5 million).

The item comprises:

  • financial expense of €110.7 million (€88.9 million);
  • financial income of €32.3 million (€66.7 million);
  • net exchange gains of €10.2 million (€71.7 million).

The €21.8 million increase in financial expense over the first half of 2022 is mostly due to the higher cost of debt as a result of the performance of the benchmark rates.

Financial income was higher in the first half of 2022 due to the recognition in that period of prior year gains from the discharging of debts of €18.0 million owed by the subsidiary Afragola FS S.C.r.l. and interest of €11.0 million collected after settlement of the dispute with the customer for Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania.

Net exchange gains of €10.2 million mostly relate to the Euro's performance against the Ethiopian birr and the Nigerian naira. This item had benefited from the US dollar's strong appreciation against the Euro in the first half of 2022.

Net losses on equity investments amount to €27.6 million (€4.4 million) and mostly relate to the associate Grupo Unidos Por el Canal S.A..

Income taxes

The income tax expense for the period is €40.7 million (€51.5 million).

Loss from discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations amounts to €0.6 million.

Non-controlling interests

The profit attributable to non-controlling interests is €4.4 million compared to €23.8 million for the first half of 2022.

Loss for the period attributable to the owners of the parent

As a result of the above, the loss for the period attributable to the owners of the parent comes to €33 million compared to a loss of €5.6 million for the corresponding period of 2022.

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

(**) This item shows trade receivables of €0.1 million classified in net financial position and related to the Group's net amounts due from/to consortia and consortium companies (SPEs) operating under a cost recharging system and not included in the consolidation scope. The balance reflects the Group's share of cash and cash equivalents or debt of the SPEs.

The Group's exposure to the SPEs was shown under "Trade receivables" for €3.2 million at 31 December 2022.

Net invested capital

This item decreased by €382.4 million on the previous year end to €1,287.5 million at 30 June 2023. The main changes are due to the factors listed below.

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased slightly by €48.5 million. They may be analysed as follows:

31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
(€'000)
Property, plant and equipment 710,267 728,755 18,488
Right-of-use assets 113,541 126,023 12,482
Intangible assets 373,974 412,261 38,287
Equity investments 778,374 757,571 (20,803)
Total non-current assets 1,976,156 2,024,610 48,454

Property, plant and equipment increased by €18.5 million, chiefly due to the investments made for the ongoing projects in Australia (Snowy 2.0) and France (TELT Lot 2) and by Lane Group, net of amortisation recognised in the six months.

Right-of-use assets amount to €126.0 million, showing an increase of €12.5 million principally due to the Group's acquisition of the Clough assets in Australia and investments made by Lane Group, partly offset by depreciation.

Intangible assets show a net increase of €38.3 million, as a result of the amortisation of €49.5 million, of which €33.6 million related to the former Astaldi's EPC order backlog, and the effects of the acquisition of the Clough assets in Australia.

The net decrease of €20.8 million in equity investments is chiefly due to the equity-accounting of the investment in the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. and the capital contributions to the Lane Group joint ventures.

Provisions for risks

These provisions of €196.6 million decreased by €2.3 million over the 31 December 2022 balance of €198.8 million.

Net tax assets

The following table analyses the item:

31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
(€'000)
Deferred tax assets 346,289 372,724 26,435
Deferred tax liabilities (58,060) (78,992) (20,932)
Net deferred tax assets 288,229 293,732 5,503
Current tax assets 90,499 84,824 (5,675)
Current tax liabilities (85,334) (93,636) (8,302)
Net current tax assets (liabilities) 5,165 (8,812) (13,977)
Other current tax assets 234,236 311,900 77,664
Other current tax liabilities (90,181) (78,218) 11,963
Net other current tax assets 144,055 233,682 89,627
Net tax assets 437,449 518,602 81,153

Net working capital

Net working capital amounts to a negative €1,095.4 million at the reporting date compared to a negative €576.0 million at 31 December 2022.

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

  • trade receivables increased by €443.7 million, of which €210.9 million mostly for the recently-awarded railway contracts in Italy (the Palermo - Catania - Messina line, the Trento rail bypass and the Salerno - Reggio Calabria line), which is offset by a rise in liabilities to the Group's consortium partners for the same contracts. The remainder of the increase (€232.8 million) relates to Italian contracts (€171.6 million) and foreign contracts (€61.2 million; mostly in Europe, the Middle East and Oceania). The €22.1 million increase in Oceania is due to the acquisition of the Clough assets;
  • trade payables increased by €376.8 million as follows: €186.3 million in Italy (down €24.6 million net of the liabilities due to the above-mentioned consortium partners) and €190.5 million abroad (mostly in Europe, the Middle East and Oceania). The €30.2 million increase in Oceania is due to the acquisition of the Clough assets and liabilities;
  • contract assets and liabilities amount to €3,955.8 million (€3,200.0 million) and €4,642.2 million (€3,311.7 million), respectively. The variation in this item led to a €569.8 million reduction in working capital, thanks also to the Group's considerable success in obtaining new contracts, confirming its competitive edge;
  • other current assets and liabilities come to €944.9 million (€916.4 million) and €674.0 million (€620.6 million), respectively.

(*) The note numbers refer to the notes to the condensed interim 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The Group's net financial position - continuing operations amounts to €438.2 million, up by €173.0 million on 31 December 2022 (net financial position of €265.2 million) and by a very significant €835.1 million on 30 June 2022 (net financial indebtedness of €397 million).

The results achieved during the period are due to the positive performance of the Group's operations and the reduction in working capital. Gross indebtedness increased slightly by €51.9 million to €2,671.2 million at 30 June 2023 compared to €2,619.3 million at 31 December 2022 and decreased by €103.9 million compared to €2,775.2 million at 30 June 2022.

The debt/equity ratio (based on the net financial position - continuing operations) is -0.25 at group level at the reporting date compared to -0.14 at 31 December 2022.

Webuild has given guarantees of €103.4 million in favour of unconsolidated group companies securing bank loans.

Reference should be made to note 24 to the condensed interim 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.

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 the first half of 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;
  • elimination of the accounting effects of the impairment losses recognised on the trade receivables due from the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor after performing the impairment test.

reclassified statement of profit or loss for the first half of 2023:

  • 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 results of the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A., mainly to reflect the award issued by the ICC (more information is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of this report and note 34 "Net losses on equity investments" to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements).

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

Events after the reporting period

Contact signed for the Vicenza crossing

On 27 July 2023, Webuild Group and RFI signed a €1.82 billion contract to begin the executive designs and work on the first construction lot for a crossing at the Vicenza junction. The lot is part of the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua railway line, which will contribute to modernising transport in Northern Italy and for which Webuild is already developing other sections. The new section will stretch approximately 6.2 km from the Altavilla Vicentina municipality to Vicenza Railway Station. The contract includes the replacement of 4.8 km of existing track.

Outlook

Given the current projects under development and the very satisfactory order intake, Webuild expects to achieve its objectives for 2023 and namely:

  • book to bill > 1.1x;
  • revenue: €9.0 €9.5 billion;
  • EBITDA: €720 €760 million,
  • maintaining a positive net financial position (net cash).

Directors' report - Part II

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, including as a result of the developments 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. It designed and implemented its risk management framework on the basis of the standards and guidelines of ISO 31000.

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 Covid-19 pandemic. During the first six months of 2023, raw material and commodity prices gradually stabilised. The Group continued its risk management activities focused on the identification and handling of the repercussions of the war between Russia and Ukraine 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 2021-2022, 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 apply promptly in the first half of 2023 for compensation for the hikes in the more significant construction material prices for its Italian contracts in

accordance with Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the 2023 budget act), which confirmed the measures introduced by Decree law no. 50/2022 (the Aiuti decree) for contracts in place and extended them for the whole of 2023.

The Group also 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. This includes the definition and application of a suitable business impact analysis methodology using a procedure for the introduction of proactive, flexible and efficient response 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 risks

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.

Russia - Ukraine crisis

With respect to the Russia- Ukraine crisis that broke out in February 2022, the Group does not currently operate in either country. The indirect effect of raw materials prices seen from the first half of 2022 is currently in a stationary and stabilising phase.

The Group's approach to its supply chain is to strengthen the previously-implemented mitigation measures such as the identification of alternative procurement solutions and the urgent transfers of plant and equipment from one work site to another. It also closely observes the market in order to adapt its investmentstrategies to contain prices.

In addition, 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.

Italian 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.

The Group continues to monitor developments although it is impossible to predict how the war will evolve or its effects on the markets and global economy. Given this uncertain situation, which is due to external factors outside Webuild's control, there is a risk that the Group's future results may differ from those currently expected.

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)3 .

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 2022 Consolidated Non-financial Statement. The budgets for the Group's contracts reflect its commitments with steady investments made to ensure their greater efficiency.

3 More information is available in the "Sustainability Strategy" section of the 2022 Consolidated Non-financial Statement.

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 2023-2025 long-term variable incentive (LTI) plan which includes dedicated sustainability targets.

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 30 June 2023 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 €43 million. During the hearing, the commissioner increased its claims to €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 €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 €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 (€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 €729 million and disbursing additional advances amounting to approximately €91 million. The group of contracting companies met their obligation by directly disbursing €91 million and additional financial resources, through the conversion into cash of existing contractual guarantees totalling €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 S.A. ("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 ("ICC") 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 DAB's 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, GUPC paid USD272 million to settle its liabilities with the customer, using the financial support provided by its European partners (Webuild's share: 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. The arbitration tribunal issued an award on 17 May 2023 unanimously establishing that GUPC is entitled to receive an additional USD34.9 million for the claims related to the labour costs, in addition to the amount previously assigned by the DAB. However, the arbitration tribunal did not accept GUPC's application about the construction of the lock gates which it had to build for reasons it did not deem were attributable to it and referred other issues to another arbitration tribunal. This decision was taken by majority vote by the tribunal members while one arbitrator issued a dissenting opinion;
    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 proceeding is 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 the first half of 2023, the estimate of the project's extra costs 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 condensed interim 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 96.14%, 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 €187 million (of which €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 €175 million and subsequently the two parties reached an agreement whereby FCA (i) paid €66 million and (ii) issued RFI a bank surety of €100 million.

On 2 February 2022, the Supreme Court handed down its ruling rejecting FCA's appeal, based on which Webuild

had adjusted the claims' estimated realisable value and the carrying amount of contract assets in its separate 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 €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 €21 million. Both parties challenged the Rome Court's ruling and Stellantis has collected the amount it was ordered to pay in the meantime before the hearings (which will presumably be reinstated) are held. The consortium has requested Stellantis pay the outstanding amounts due to it;
  • 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 S.C.p.A.

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. 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 law 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) SdM 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 €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.

Pending the handing down of the ruling, Decree law no. 35 of 31 March 2023 was issued and converted with amendments into Law no. 58 of 26 March 2023 (Urgent measures for the Sicily - Calabria bridge). These measures regulate, inter alia, the recommencement of the work and revival of the expired contract. Negotiations are underway between the parties to define the related arrangements envisaged by the measures to revive the contract and the related decision by Eurolink and its co-venturers to discontinue the legal proceedings.

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 condensed interim 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 (€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 (€13.5 million) on 20 April 2016, motivating such unilateral decision as being due to the alleged non-resolution of noncompliances 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. CNAIR concurrently 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 underway.

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 (€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 €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 the joint venture attempted to resolve by proposing new solutions to the customer (although it was not contractually obliged to do so).

In June 2018, the joint venture 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, the customer terminated the contract in January 2019.

The joint venture 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 Court) requesting payment of the higher dismantlement costs of €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, the legal advisors requested the urgent and precautionary suspension of the enforcement of the contractual guarantees.

The Joinville Court granted the judicial blocking of enforcement of the bank guarantee for the advance (€2.3 million) and the insurance performance bond (€7 million) by the customer on a precautionary basis.

Pending the civil trial of 4 October 2019, the joint venture also commenced an international arbitration proceeding (based on the arbitration clause included in the memorandum of understanding) for the claims of €20 million notified before the contract had been terminated.

The customer in turn obtained the suspension of the arbitration proceedings from the Joinville Court, which the joint venture immediately appealed before the Santa Caterina Appeal Court.

In January 2021, the Appeal Court ruled i) to maintain suspension of the enforcement of the guarantees (which the customer has not appealed) and ii) to continue to suspend the arbitration proceedings. The joint venture 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 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, the joint venture 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. The joint venture will assess the most appropriate action to take assisted by its legal advisors.

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 condensed interim 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.

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.

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 €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.

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 €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 €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.

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.

With its ruling no. 3370 of 11 May 2023, the Rome Appeal Court partly accepted Roma Metropolitane's counter appeal and reformulated the first level ruling reducing the amounts to be paid to the joint venture to €105 thousand (from the €2.9 million established by the Rome Court). The joint venture is investigating the possible actions it can take with the assistance of its legal advisors.

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 condensed interim 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 €465 million, of which approximately €340 million as the market value of the asset built and approximately €125 million as compensation for damage due to termination of the contract as a result of the customer's default.

On 14 November 2022, DeA Capital filed its response, challenging the admissibility and grounds of the claims made by the joint venture and presenting its counterclaims for approximately €61.9 million.

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 ICC, 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 ICC 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 (€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 30 June 2023, the parent had lent Yuma Concesionaria €187.9 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 bank performance bonds of €8 million. The joint venture obtained a court order from the Parma Court preventing this on a precautionary basis.

On 31 October 2019, the joint venture 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 €2.9 million as contractual fines due to the termination of the contract for reasons allegedly attributable to the joint venture. At the date of preparation of this report, the ruling has not yet been handed down.

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 €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 €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 €54 million. At the date of preparation of this report, the ruling has not yet been handed down.

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 condensed interim 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 €25 million.

The customer attempted to enforce the performance bonds of €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 joint venture 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. At the date of preparation of this report, the ruling has not yet been handed down.

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 bank guarantees of €15 million.

The joint venture reached an out-of-court agreement about the enforcement of the guarantees with the customer in December 2022, obtaining the return of PLN45 million (€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 (€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 Webuild 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 payment and performance bonds for a total of €25 million, included in Webuild's claims as part of the dispute before the Polish courts.

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.

Copenhagen Cityringen

As a result of critical issues about this project related to its specific features and the significance of the works, the joint venture including Webuild (Copenhagen Metro Team I/S, "CMT") 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 joint venture to collect €145 million) and other agreements which enabled it to collect additional advances (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 joint venture 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 joint venture 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, CMT entirely rejected the counterclaims, judging them without any foundation.

On 26 April 2021, CMT 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 Australia PTY. Ltd.

After the joint venture presented claims, the DAB issued a decision acknowledging its right to AUD34.5 million (€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 (€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 (€173 million).

At the date of preparation of this report, the arbitration award has not yet been published.

With respect to the arbitration proceedings commenced by the Leonardo/PSC JV, supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, GSIC JV is confident that its arguments will be accepted at the end of the dispute.

During preparation of the contract budget and the condensed interim 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 condensed interim 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 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 pre-trial stage is underway.

Supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, the joint venture is confident that its 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.

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, the joint venture 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 €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 underway.

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 Ausol, in which Webuild has a 19.8% stake. At the date of preparation of this report, the related ruling has not yet been handed down.

The renegotiation agreement provided that Ausol would receive USD499 million for its investment, which it could not recover 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.

On 23 October 2022, an arbitration application was filed requesting that the renegotiation agreement ("Acuerdo Integral de Renegociación", AIR) be found to be valid and the Argentine government be ordered to comply therewith (and hence pay the established amount which had never been collected). On 4 July 2023, the Argentine government obtained a precautionary measure suspending the arbitration proceedings. The legal counsel has informed the tribunal and has filed an appeal.

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 and (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.

With respect to these latter rulings, the Campania Regional Administrative Court published ruling no. 02761/2023 on 5 May 2023 on the ruling related to the conformity deed and ruling no. 02623/2023 on 2 May 2023 on the "environmental restoration". It ordered Fibe to pay approximately €20 million and €33 million in the two rulings, respectively, plus legal interest accruing from December 2005.

Fibe has appealed to the Council of State against both rulings.

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, Sabrom deems the risk of an unfavourable ruling is remote and that the assets recognised under intangible assets at 30 June 2023 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. On 17 March 2023, the reasons for the decision were filed and the public prosecutor appealed against them in relation to the few remaining charges not yet time-barred, together with the civil party and the defence counsels of the defendants found guilty in the case of bid rigging (the Vecchie Fornaci market survey).

At the date of preparation of this report, a date for the appeal hearing has not yet been set.

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.

Various courts (Rome, Bolzano and subsequently Alessandra) have gradually excluded their territorial jurisdiction to hear the case and, accordingly, on 25 November 2022, the Supreme Court charged with finally 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.

On 19 July 2023, after another application for a hearing, the Judge for Preliminary Hearing at the Bolzano Court set a new date for a preliminary hearing on 13 October 2023.

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 Costruzioni Generali 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 Costruzioni Generali 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.

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 a secured 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.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. On 25 March 2022, the court filed the related authorisation.

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:

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.

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 condensed

interim 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 €56 million, mainly for alleged indirect damages. The first four arbitration hearings have ruled in favour of the joint venture, awarding it €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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago (ICC arbitration no. 25888/GR)

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 Pudahuel 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 Projets (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 designs 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 de 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. The proceedings are underway.

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.

On 27 March 2023, VCGP requested and obtained the preventive attachment of all Webuild's French accounts with all its banks and especially BNP Paribas for Astaldi's alleged liabilities for the Santiago de Chile Airport. On 17 May 2023, it managed to have €7.8 million held in two accounts held jointly with NGE frozen. Webuild immediately filed an appeal for the cancellation of these attachments.

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 at the end of September 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 condensed interim 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, procurement 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 one of the structures of the hydroelectric plant collapsed (the emergency spillway) in February 2016 and, therefore, before Astaldi's composition with creditors procedure. 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 €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 €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 condensed interim 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 underway.

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; €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 (€19 million), net of the enforced performance bond (€9.4 million). The customer also requested repayment of PLN8.1 million (including interest) (€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 condensed interim 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 (€4 million). Subsequently, it filed an additional claim on 26 May 2020 requesting payment of a further PLN16.8 million (€3.9 million, of which €1.3 million for unpaid invoices and €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; €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 (€34.4 million), net of the enforced performance bond (€21.7 million). The customer also requested repayment of PLN66.8 million (€15 million, including interest) 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 condensed interim 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 (€8.4 million). It subsequently filed a second claim on 26 May 2020 requesting payment of a further PLN135.3 million (€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 €24.1 million. The arbitration proceeding also includes the application for the return of the enforced performance bond of €12 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 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.

The public prosecutor applied for the case to be dismissed due to its lack of grounds on 12 July 2023.

Country risk

Libya

Webuild 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 €64 million. Moreover, the Group's exposure for that project is not material. The Group is also involved in the Libyan Coastal Highway project (€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 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 the first half of 2023, 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.

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

Nigeria has recently held presidential and gubernatorial elections and the incoming president and his government assumed office at the end of May 2023.

The cost of raw materials soared in 2022 while the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) devalued the Naira by roughly 70% in response to the immediate measures adopted by the new president. This recessionary phase has triggered a rise in criminality and poverty with the related higher security risks.

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).

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 2022. This agreement provides for the receipt of USD40,000 million over 30 months against Argentina's

commitment to enact important structural macroeconomic reforms. According to the IMF's staff report of 1 April 2023, after the fourth review of the agreement, Argentina met all the quantitative performance objectives through end-December 2022, supported by firmer macroeconomic policy implementation in the second half of 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.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

1. Basis of preparation

Webuild S.p.A. (the "parent" or "Webuild") has its registered office in Rozzano (Milan) and is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. These condensed interim consolidated financial as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2023 include the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). Webuild is a major 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements, Webuild S.p.A. is managed and coordinated by Salini Costruttori S.p.A..

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been drawn up pursuant to IAS 34- Interim financial reporting on a going concern basis. The basis of consolidation and basis of preparation described in the 2022 Annual Report (to which reference should be made) have been applied to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, except for the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that became applicable after 1 January 2023 (disclosed in note 5). The financial statements schedules are presented as a complete set in line with the requirements of IAS 1- Presentation of financialstatements, while the notesthereto have been prepared in a condensed format as allowed by IAS 34. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022.

The parent's board of directors approved the condensed interim consolidated financial statements on 27 July 2023 and they have been reviewed by KPMG S.p.A.. The figures in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are in thousands of Euros, unless indicated otherwise.

2. Judgements and complex accounting estimates

Preparation of the condensed interim consolidated 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 31, contract revenue;

note 32, any impairment losses on assets;

note 32, amortisation and depreciation;

  • note 32, provisions for risks and charges;
  • notes 9 and 34, equity investments;

note 8, goodwill;

notes 11 and 35, income taxes;

note 25, 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 in the notes to the 2022 consolidated financial statements). 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 condensed interim consolidated financialstatements are affected by (i) the current macroeconomic scenario characterised by the impacts of 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 II, to which reference is made). They may have an impact on the Group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

Macro-economic context

As already indicated in the Directors' report in respect to the rising raw materials and energy prices, the effect of raw materials prices seen from the first half of 2022 is currently in a stationary and stabilising phase. The Group's approach to its supply chain is to strengthen the previously-implemented mitigation measures such as the identification of alternative procurement solutions and the urgent transfers of plant and equipment from one work site to another. It also closely observes the market in order to adapt its investment strategies to contain prices.

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 price risk mitigation clausesincluding risksrelated 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 2022. 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.

The effect of interest rates was not deemed critical enough to significantly affect the impairment tests of assets (goodwill, equity investments and loans and receivables) carried out for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 and updated as part of the check for possible impairment indicators during preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

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 continues to include ESG risks in the regular group risk assessment performed by the risk management department.

The utilisation of the up-to-date group 2023 budget that reflectsthe uncertainties as a basisfor the judgements underpinning preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements 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.

In particular, the nature, characteristics and short lifecycle (for example in the case of tunnel boring machines-TBMs) of the plant, machinery and equipment used by the Group in its projects need to be considered to assess

the risk of obsolescence. Climate change risks were also included in the procedure to detect potential impairment indicators of the Group's main assets (goodwill and equity investments).

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. Consolidation scope

The interim financial statements at 30 June 2023 approved by the internal bodies of the consolidated companies, where applicable, have been used for consolidation purposes.

A list of the companies included in the consolidation scope is set out in the "List of Webuild Group companies" annex.

4. Business combinations

Provisional allocation of the transaction price for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Clough Group

On 3 February 2023, Webuild signed the contract to acquire assets from the Administrators of Clough Ltd. (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. 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.

Webuild availed of the option allowed by IFRS 3 to provisionally allocate the transaction cost to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

The following table summarises the assets and liabilities of Clough Group at the acquisition date and their fair value measured on a provisional basis for the purchase price allocation (PPA) procedure:

(€m) Carrying amount Adjustments Fair value
Non-current assets 27.3 81.3 108.6
- of which intangible assets 6.7 81.3 88.0
Equity investments 2.2 - 2.2
Deferred tax assets 9.7 - 9.7
Total non-current assets 39.2 81.3 120.5
Contract assets 28.5 - 28.5
Trade receivables 3.3 - 3.3
Other current tax assets 0.5 - 0.5
Other assets 1.9 - 1.9
Cash and cash equivalents 0.9 - 0.9
Total current assets 35.1 - 35.1
Total assets 74.3 81.3 155.6
Non-current financial liabilities 18.4 - 18.4
Post-employment benefits and other employee benefits 1.1 - 1.1
Deferred tax liabilities 6.9 24.4 31.3
Total non-current liabilities 26.5 24.4 50.8
Trade payables 22.1 - 22.1
Other current liabilities 10.2 - 10.2
Total current liabilities 32.3 - 32.3
Total liabilities 58.7 24.4 83.1
Net assets acquired 15.6 56.9 72.5

The adjustments related to intangible assets relate to the measurement of Clough's order backlog using the multi-period excess earning method methodology (MEEM), considering the profitability forecasts for the individual projects and a discount rate of 11.3% (WACC).

The difference between the consideration transferred and the net assets acquired is shown below:

(€m)
Consideration transferred to acquire a controlling interest 19.01
Net assets acquired (72.5)
Positive difference (53.5)

The difference between the provisionally determined fair value of the net assets acquired and the related consideration transferred for the acquisition has been recognised under other current liabilities because the PPA procedure has not yet been completed (IFRS 3 provides that specific checks of the estimates have to be made).

The acquisition absorbed net cash and cash equivalents of €18.1 million being the difference between the consideration transferred of €19.0 million and the cash acquired of €0.9 million.

Clough's contribution to the statement of profit or loss for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is as follows:

(€m) 1st half 2023
Revenue 152.45
Operating expenses (148.92)
Net financing income (costs) and net losses on equity investments (1.96)
Profit before tax 1.57

Given that control of Clough Group was acquired on 16 February 2023 after which date its operations were resumed (they had been substantially suspended with the start of the voluntary administration procedure), the Group's revenue and profit for the six months would not have been significantly different had the acquisition date been 1 January 2023.

6. Segment reporting

Segment reporting is presented by macro geographical region, based on the management review approach adopted by management, for the '"Italy", "Abroad" and "Lane Group" operating segments.

"Corporate" costs 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 €84.5 million for the first half of 2023 compared to €90.8 million for the corresponding period of 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 were revised during preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022, in order to continue to ensure consistency with the reporting system in use by senior management. The comparative figures for the first half of 2022 have been restated accordingly.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements figures are summarised below by operating segment with comparative figures for the first half of 2022 (statement of profit or loss) and at 31 December 2022 (statement of financial position).

7.3 Intangible assets

The item may be analysed as follows:

31 December 2022 30 June 2023
(€'000) Cost Acc. amort. Carrying amount Cost Acc. amort. Carrying amount
Rights to infrastructure under concession 65,510 (8,129) 57,381 64,510 (7,180) 57,330
Contract acquisition costs 638,780 (374,701) 264,078 718,058 (417,191) 300,867
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract 16,764 (12,468) 4,296 16,994 (12,756) 4,238
Costs to fulfil a contract 85,575 (39,605) 45,971 85,448 (44,877) 40,571
Other intangible assets 9,838 (7,590) 2,248 31,820 (22,565) 9,255
Total 816,467 (442,493) 373,974 916,830 (504,569) 412,261

Rights to infrastructure under concession mostly refer (€44.7 million) to the design costs incurred by the subsidiary SA.BRO.M. S.p.A. 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 order backlog recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the Astaldi Group acquisition in 2020 (€167.8 million) and Clough Group in the first half of 2023 (€79.3 million) and (ii) "contractual rights" acquired from third parties to perform the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa and Verona - Padua railway line contracts (€16.5 million and €16.8 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 reporting date 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.

Total 373,974 3,348 (49,535) (1,449) 85,923 412,261

The increase in the period is mostly due to amortisation, chiefly of Astaldi Group's EPC order backlog (€33.6 million), and the newly-acquired Clough assets (€86.1 million).

There are no indicators of impairment of the Group's intangible assets.

30 June 2023 624,928 52,128

The most significant changes include:

  • the change in the consolidation scope, due to the acquisition of certain joint ventures of Clough Group;
  • capital injections into Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. (€5 million) and Lane Group companies (€19.2 million);
  • the effects on OCI, caused by fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate, mostly affecting the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A.;
  • the reduction in dividends, mainly attributable to the Lane Group companies.

Note 34 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.

No indicators of impairment were identified in respect of the equity investments at 30 June 2023.

9.2 Other equity investments

Participating financial instruments 29,539 29,489 (50)
Total 80,575 80,516 (59)

The investments in non-controlling interests mainly refer to the SPE Linea M4 S.p.A. (€47.4 million).

The participating financial instruments consist of the equity instruments (IAS 32.16C) assigned to the former Astaldi's (now Astaris S.p.A., "Astaris") creditors as partial settlement of their unsecured claims.

10. Non-current financial assets including derivatives

Non-current financial assets including derivatives are analysed in the following table:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation

Other financial assets 18,997 13,610 (5,387)
Total 518,439 513,551 (4,888)

Loans and receivables - third parties mainly include:

  • transactions with Astaris' separate unit (PADE) for €69.5 million, mostly related to sales advances in accordance with the approved composition with creditors plan;
  • payments on account of €66.0 million made by the CAV.TO.MI. Consortium as a result of the ongoing dispute with the customer about the high-speed/capacity Turin - Milan railway line project;
  • €59.4 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. (€187.9 million) and the SPE Linea M4 S.p.A. (€94.5 million).

The increase in non-current financial assets including derivatives is mostly due to: (i) the increase in the loans granted to Yuma Concesionaria S.A. due to changes in exchange rates (€9.2 million), and reimbursement of part of (ii) the trade receivables following the enforcement of the performance bonds for the Polish motorway contracts (€5.4 million) and (iii) the loans and advances disbursed to PADE.

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.

11. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Total 3,199,971 3,955,849 755,878

The following table shows a breakdown of the item by geographical segment:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Italy 480,229 1,032,301 552,072
EU (excluding Italy) 883,092 901,504 18,412

Oceania 171,453 165,771 (5,682)
Total 3,199,971 3,955,849 755,878

Domestic contract assets increased, mostly in relation to the high-speed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line and the third maxi-lot of the SS-106 state road Jonica.

With respect to the item's breakdown by geographical segment, the biggest Italian contributors are the highspeed/capacity Milan - Genoa railway line, the third maxi-lot of the SS-106 state road Jonica, Lot 2 of the Marche - Umbria road system, the Infraflegrea project and Line 4 of the Milan Metro.

The rise in foreign contract assets is chiefly due to the work carried out during the six months in Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project), Ethiopia (Koysha and GERD Hydroelectric Projects) and Lane Group in the United States.

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 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.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities include:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation

Oceania 546,645 497,783 (48,862)
Total 3,311,689 4,642,191 1,330,502

The increase in this item is mostly due to the advances collected for the recently-acquired railway projects in Italy (three new lots of the Palermo - Catania - Messina railway line4 , the Trento rail by-pass and the Salerno - Reggio Calabria railway line).

The breakdown of contract liabilities by geographical segment shows that the Italian balance relates to the above-mentioned railway projects awarded to the Group during the six months, the new Genoa Breakwater and work on the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua, Naples - Bari, north and south lots of Messina - Catania and Enna - Dittaino railway lines).

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 as did the contracts recently acquired by Clough Group.

Oceania 95,432 136,242 40,810
Total 2,886,106 3,326,765 440,659

The increase seen in Italy is principally due to the amounts due to the Group's consortium partners for the recently-acquired railway contracts in Italy (the three new lots of the Palermo - Catania - Messina railway line, the Trento rail by-pass and the Salerno - Reggio Calabria railway line) (€442.5 million). They are partly offset (for €205.4 million) by an increase in liabilities to the partners for the same contracts recognised under trade payables.

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 increase in the EU is mostly due to the activities being performed in France (Lot 2 of Line 16 of the Paris Metro) and Romania as well as by the subsidiary AGN HAGA AB in Sweden.

The rise in trade receivables for the projects underway in Saudi Arabia (SANG Villas) was partly offset by the decrease in Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project) for Asia and the Middle East.

The increase in Oceania is due to the acquisition of the Clough assets (€22.1 million).

The balance of trade receivables from unconsolidated group companies and other related parties mostly comprises amounts due from unconsolidated SPEs for work carried out by them on behalf of public administration bodies.

Lastly, the item includes €0.1 million (€3.2 million at 31 December 2022) 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).

The loss allowance for trade receivables of €498.7 million mostly refers to amounts due from Venezuelan customers (€308.1 million) and the Ukrainian customer Ukravtodor (€65.3 million).

15. Current financial assets including derivatives

This item comprises:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Loans and receivables - third parties 351,242 369,224 17,982

Derivatives 2,276 1,572 (704)
Total 441,632 481,433 39,801

"Loans and receivables - third parties" mostly consist of:

  • loans of €247.2 million granted to non-controlling investors by group companies, mostly for projects in Australia, Italy, Kuwait and Qatar;
  • temporary advances of €55.4 million made by Lane Group for projects carried out with partners in the United States;
  • deposits of €20.0 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 €7.9 million for the COCIV Consortium.

The €18.0 million increase in this item is mostly due to the additional advances recognised by Lane Group.

Loans and receivables - unconsolidated group companies and other related parties" increased by €25.3 million on the previous year. More information about this item is available in note 37 "Related party 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.

  • foreign direct taxes for excess taxes paid abroad by the foreign group companies.

16.2 Other current tax assets

This item comprises:

5 Article 17-ter of Presidential decree no. 633/1972

"Other" includes (i) consideration of €47.6 million due to Fibe S.p.A. for the USW Campania projects, (ii) €32.6 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 €29.5 million, mainly due to the greater production output achieved during the six months in Italy, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

The item "Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties" decreased by €15.1 million, chiefly in relation to the ongoing projects in Peru and Romania.

The decrease of €4.0 million in prepayments and accrued income is principally due to insurance premiums and commissions on sureties.

18. Cash and cash equivalents

This item may be analysed as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Cash and cash equivalents 1,921,177 2,114,390 193,213

A breakdown by geographical segment is as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Italy 626,831 786,638 159,807
EU (excluding Italy) 221,691 166,360 (55,331)

Oceania 287,056 343,792 56,736
Total 1,921,177 2,114,390 193,213

The balance includes bank account credit balances at the end of the period 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 €145.5 million and mainly refer to the Italian subsidiaries (mostly the Pergenova Breakwater Consortium) (€94.3 million) and foreign subsidiaries (principally Lane Group) (€51.3 million).

18.1 Restricted cash and cash equivalents

This item comprises restricted amounts of approximately €32.8 million, including €15 million for the TELT lot 2 contract in France, €7.8 million for Webuild's French branch (Lines 14 and 16 of the Paris Metro) and €4.0 million for Lane Group.

The "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report provides information on the preventive attachment of €7.8 million obtained by VINCI Construction Grands Projets of Webuild's French bank accounts for Astaldi's alleged liabilities for the Santiago de Chile Airport.

19. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups, liabilities directly associated with non-current assets held for sale and loss from discontinued operations

Net non-current assets held for sale

Net non-current assets held for sale are as follows:

Net non-current assets held for sale 848 7,540 6,692
- Of which net financial position 2,097 7,322 5,225

At 30 June 2023, net non-current assets held for sale amount to €7.5 million and consist of the investment (capital and shareholder loan) held by the parent in S.E.I.S. S.p.A. (€6.4 million) and the divisions to be sold in the Honduras area (€1.1 million).

Società Edilizia Immobiliare Sarda – S.E.I.S. S.p.A.

On 14 June 2023, Webuild received a binding purchase offer for its 48.333% investment (capital and shareholder loan) in S.E.I.S. S.p.A., which owns a property in La Maddalena (Sardinia). As the sale is expected to be finalised in July, the equity investment was classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, which was calculated on the basis of the sales contract terms. The calculation shows that the equity investment's carrying amount matches its fair value.

Divisions held for disposal in the Honduras area

The administrator appointed by the competent authorities in 2019 is completing the procedures to liquidate the local assets of the Astaldi Honduras division 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 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

procedures for the closure of the reporting entities in Costa Rica and Guatemala were completed in the first half of 2023.

The loss from discontinued operations amounts to €0.6 million compared to €14.8 million for the corresponding period of 2022 when it mostly related to the ICC award for the project to upgrade the E60 Zemo Osiauri - Chumateleti Motorway performed by the Astaldi Giorgia division.

20.1 Share capital

At 30 June 2023, the parent's share capital continues to amount to €600,000,000 and consists of 1,007,214,580 shares, comprising 1,005,599,089 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 period, the number of shares increased due to the assigning of 4,789,185 ordinary shares issued after 4,787,134 lender warrants and 2,051 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:

• (a) 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 the period, as the conditions for their partial exercise were met, 2,051 anti-dilutive warrants were exercised leading to the assigning of 2,051 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.During the period, BNP Paribas SA Succursale Italia and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. exercised 2,725,627 and 2,061,507 lender warrants, respectively, for a total of 4,787,134. In return, they received the same number of ordinary Webuild shares against payment of €5,423,822.82;
  • 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 the first half of 2023, no ordinary Webuild shares were issued or assigned to the creditors not provided for.

Changes of the period in the different equity items are summarised in the relevant schedule of the condensed interim 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

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 27 April 2023, 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 (available in the "Shareholders' meeting" part of the "Governance" section on the parent's website www.webuildgroup.com). At the reporting date, the parent had 19,185,520 treasury shares for €31,611,292.56.

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 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 included in the consolidation scope held 2,911,397 Webuild shares at the reporting date, equal to approximately €5.708 million. The €1.13 million decrease in the item at 30 June 2023 is mostly due to the sale of shares by Italian group companies.

LTI reserve

The reserve of €0.162 million at the reporting date covered the 2020-2022 long-term incentive plan measured at fair value at 31 December 2022 (€12.1 million). This plan was open to certain employees, consultants and/or directors with special duties either with the parent and its direct or indirect subsidiaries as per article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code.

The plan provided for the assignment of a 50:50 cash and equity component (Webuild shares) at the end of the vesting period6 if the beneficiaries reached their objectives.

On 27 April 2023, the parent's shareholders acknowledged that the objectives had been met and approved a change to the plan whereby the beneficiaries can opt to receive their vested incentives immediately and entirely in cash, including the part that was to consist of Webuild shares.

Therefore, based on the choices made so far by the beneficiaries, most of the incentives have been settled in cash as the option to receive Webuild shares has only been exercised for 59,719 shares.

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 (€30.5 million) of the lender warrants. The decrease of €13.99 million in this reserve is due to the exercise of 4,787,134 lender warrants with the related reclassification of their fair value to retained earnings.

20.4 Other comprehensive expense

The main change in this item relates to the adverse effect of fluctuations in the US dollar and Nigerian naira exchange rates, principally affecting the group companies Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. and Salini Nigeria Ltd.

20.5 Retained earnings

The €35 million decrease in retained earnings from €483.8 million at 31 December 2022 to €448.8 million at the reporting date is mostly due to:

Increases

  • €9.9 million for the allocation of the profit for 2022;
  • €13.99 million after the transfer of the fair value of 4,787,134 lender warrants from the IFRS 2 reserve;

6 27 April 2023, the date of approval of the separate financial statements at 31 December 2022 by the parent's shareholders.

  • €5.4 million for the consideration received from the lenders that exercised their warrants and acquired 4,787,134 ordinary Webuild shares.

Decreases

  • €56 million due to the distribution of dividends by the parent;
  • €8.6 million after acquisition of the non-controlling interest in SLC Snowy Hydro Joint Venture.

20.6 Resolution of the parent's shareholders on the allocation of the loss for 2022

In their meeting held on 27 April 2023, the parent's shareholders resolved to:

  • cover the loss of €69,556,544.54 shown in the 2022 separate financial statements by using the parent's distributable reserves;
  • distribute a dividend of €0.057, gross of the withholding tax required by law, to each ordinary share and savings share with dividend rights at the ex-dividend date (for a total of €55,953,959.43 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 capital injections of €14.1 million by their owners to Lane Security Paving Joint Venture (Lane Group) and the Group's acquisition of the non-controlling interest in SLS Snowy Hydro Joint Venture for €41.6 million.

25. Post-employment benefits and other employee benefits

Employee benefits mostly consist of the Italian post-employment benefits regulated 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

The liability for post-employment benefits (TFR) 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

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Provisions for risks on equity investments 95,383 94,178 (1,205)
Other provisions 103,496 102,434 (1,062)
Total 198,879 196,612 (2,267)

The provisions for risks on equity investments relate to the group's legal obligations to cover its investees' losses exceeding their equities. The decrease is mostly attributable to the associate Fisia Abeima LLC.

Other provisions comprise:

31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
(€'000)
Provisions set up by entities in liquidation 8,553 8,503 (50)

Other 32,091 30,281 (1,810)
Total 103,496 102,434 (1,062)

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 increase of €0.8 million in the period is mostly related to Lane Group;
  • "Other" relates to additional probable obligations recognised in connection with third party claims and group companies' commitments, chiefly in Italy and the US.

Accruals of a net €1.6 million mainly relate to the updating of valuations about the costs necessary to fulfil certain onerous contracts.

More information is available in the section on the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" in the Directors' report.

27. Trade payables

This item is made up as follows:

(€'000) 31 December 2022 30 June 2023 Variation
Third parties 3,649,654 4,051,854 402,200
Unconsolidated group companies and other related parties 242,075 216,676 (25,399)
Total 3,891,729 4,268,531 376,802

The increase of €402.2 million in trade payables to third parties is mostly due to: (i) payables of €205.4 million to consortium partners for the recently-acquired railway projects in Italy (three new lots of the Palermo - Catania - Messina railway line, the Trento rail by-pass and the Salerno - Reggio Calabria railway line), and (ii) the contracts that contributed the most to revenue in Australia (Snowy Hydro 2.0 for €25.7 million), Saudi Arabia (€65.5 million for the subsidiary Salini Saudi Arabia Company Ltd) and Romania (€24.2 million). The €31.1 million increase in Oceania is due to the acquisition of the Clough assets and liabilities.

The trade payables due to consortium partners for the above-mentioned Italian railway projects are offset by an increase in trade receivables due from the same partners for the same projects.

Trade payables to unconsolidated group companies and other related parties mainly consist of payables to unconsolidated SPEs for work performed by them on behalf of public administrations. The decrease in this item relates to the associate Brennero Tunnel Construction S.C. a r.l. and Fincantieri Infrastrutture S.p.A..

At 30 June 2023, the item includes €32.5 million (nil at 31 December 2022) due to consortia and consortia companies (SPEs) that operate by recharging costs and are not included in the consolidation scope at the reporting date.

Liabilities to unconsolidated group companies and other related parties decreased by €16.5 million and mostly relate to Lane Group's joint ventures.

"Compensation and compulsory purchases" include €71.9 million (€81.4 million at 31 December 2022) related to the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua railway line contract.

The positive difference from business combination includes the difference between the provisionallydetermined fair value of the net assets acquired and the related consideration transferred, calculated as part of the PPA procedure for Clough Group7 .

30. Guarantees, commitments, risks and contingent liabilities

30.1 Guarantees and commitments

The key guarantees given by the Group are set out below:

Other 2,206,773 2,993,551
Total 22,584,352 23,492,268

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, €7,018.6 million (€8,117.1 million at 31 December 2022) refers to sureties given directly by Lane Group.

7 More information is available in note 4 "Business combinations".

30.2 Collateral

Collateral relates to a lien on the shares of an SPE (€13.3 million).

30.3 Tax disputes

Webuild S.p.A.

With respect to the principal disputes with the tax authorities:

• 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.

Furthermore, considering the demerger and the principal disputes of 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) undeclared revenue of USD23.5 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 allegedly accrued on intragroup loans, (iii) revenue and income reported as tax-exempt or nontaxable amounting to USD13.4 million, and (iv) costs of USD15.4 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, plus fines and interest of USD4.5 million. 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.

Fibe S.p.A.

Fibe has a pending dispute about 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 has 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.

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 possible but not probable. 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 act), whereby the dispute is settled by solely paying the assessed tax, which in this case the group company would recharge to its customer.

In August 2021, as the result of an audit commenced by the local tax authorities in 2019, the 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 is possible, but not probable.

Other income 198,479 227,138 28,659
Total 3,835,481 4,536,036 700,555

Revenue increased by a net €700.6 million mostly earned on projects underway in Italy, Oceania (Australia), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Europe (Romania) and Asia (Tajikistan).

31.1 Revenue from contracts with customers

A breakdown of revenue from contracts with customers is given in the following table:

Real estate projects - (41) (41)
Total 3,637,002 4,308,898 671,896

A breakdown of revenue from contracts with customers by geographical segment is as follows:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 Percentage of total 1st half 2023 Percentage of total
Italy 945,290 26% 1,209,382 28%

Total 3,637,002 100% 4,308,898 100%

Revenue from contracts with customers increased by €671.9 million (approximately 18.5%) on the corresponding period of 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 Verona - Padua, Milan- Genoa, Naples- Bari and Palermo- Catania- Messina railway lines and maxi-lot 3 of the SS-106 state road Jonica;

• progress on the ongoing large foreign projects including, in particular, in (i) Australia (Snowy 2.0 and North East Link Project as well asthe effects of the acquisition of Clough Group during the period), (ii) Saudi Arabia (SANG Villas, Diriyah-Super Basement and Line 3 of the Riyadh Metro), (iii) Romania (Braila Bridge and Sibiu Pitesti Motorway- Lots 3 and 5), and (iv) Tajikistan (Rogun Hydropower Project).

Variable consideration made up 11.1% of revenue from contracts with customers during the period.

The transaction price of ongoing contracts allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations amounts to €43,810.4 million at the reporting date. The Group will recognise this amount as revenue in future periods in line with the available forecasts.

31.2 Other income

A breakdown of other income is given in the following table:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Recharged costs 72,795 65,280 (7,515)
Other income from joint ventures and consortia 58,960 97,642 38,682
Gains on the disposal of non-current assets 7,640 7,382 (258)
Insurance compensation 2,495 1,310 (1,185)
Other 56,589 55,524 (1,065)
Total 198,479 227,138 28,659

The increase in this item is mostly due to the recharging of costs to consortium partners, mostly related to the high-speed/capacity Verona - Padua railway contract, the high-speed/capacity Palermo - Catania - Messina railway contract and the new Genoa Breakwater.

32. Operating expenses

The item may be broken down as follows:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Purchases 636,150 797,450 161,300
Subcontracts 1,160,871 1,395,746 234,875
Services 947,111 1,024,653 77,542
Personnel expenses 667,613 847,288 179,675
Other operating expenses 168,067 178,960 10,893
Amortisation, depreciation, provisions and impairment losses 216,277 183,586 (32,691)
Total 3,796,089 4,427,683 631,594

The increase in this item principally reflects the production trends of the six months with greater volumes achieved (see note 31) for projects in Italy, Oceania (Australia), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Europe (Romania) and Asia (Tajikistan).

During the first half of 2023, the prices of raw materials and commodities gradually stabilised after the spiralling inflation seen in 2022. However, management of supply chains continues to focus on strengthening the existing mitigation measures introduced to contain price increases. The group's contracts with customers usually include price adjustment clauses. More information is available in the "Russia - Ukraine crisis" section in the Directors' report.

The composition of this item may vary from one reporting period 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.

Additional information about the operating expenses is provided below.

The balance for the first half of 2022 included the impairment losses of €52.3 million recognised on the Group's exposure in Ukraine (trade receivables and other assets).

Amortisation and depreciation

Amortisation and depreciation are broken down below:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment 77,882 101,953 24,071

Amortisation of intangible assets 449 1,218 769
Total 172,677 181,438 8,761

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment increased by €24.1 million in the period, mostly related to the Snowy 2.0 project in Australia.

Amortisation of contract costs includes €33.6 million (€36.9 million in the corresponding period of 2022) for the EPC order backlog recognised as part of the PPA procedure for the former Astaldi.

Net accruals

This item of €1.6 million mostly consists of the revised estimate of the cost to fulfil onerous contracts in the United States (Lane Group).

33. Net financing costs

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Financial income 66,724 32,331 (34,393)
Financial expense (88,884) (110,681) (21,797)
Net exchange gains 71,698 10,206 (61,492)
Net financing income (costs) 49,538 (68,144) (117,682)

33.1 Financial income

Financial income is broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Interest and other financial income 54,310 19,247 (35,063)
- Other 34,406 9,815 (24,591)
- Interest on receivables 17,345 630 (16,715)

Gains on securities 1,496 2,270 774
Total 66,724 32,331 (34,393)

The decrease in financial income is mostly due to the recognition in the corresponding period of 2022 of the prior year income from the discharging of debts of the subsidiary Afragola FS of €18.0 million and the interest of €11.0 million collected after settlement of the dispute with the customer about Lot 4 of the Orastie - Sibiu Motorway in Romania.

33.2 Financial expense

Financial expense is broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Intragroup interest and other expense (2,751) (1,589) 1,162
Interest and other financial expense (86,133) (109,092) (22,959)
- Interest on bonds (38,611) (40,085) (1,474)
- Other (12,535) (19,311) (6,776)

- Expense for inflation adjustments (7,546) (9,054) (1,508)
- Leases (3,266) (3,389) (123)
Total (88,884) (110,681) (21,797)

The €21.8 million increase in financial expense is mostly due to the floating-rate financial indebtedness, as a result of the rise in interest rates at international level.

33.3 Net exchange gains

Net exchange gains of €10.2 million mostly relate to the Euro's performance against the Ethiopian birr and the Nigerian naira. This item had benefited from the US dollar's strong appreciation against the Euro in the first half of 2022.

34. Net losses on equity investments

Net losses on equity investments are made up as follows:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Share of loss of equity-accounted investees (4,448) (27,709) (23,261)
Dividends 15 9 (6)
Gains (losses) on the disposal of equity investments (112) - 112
Other income 138 60 (78)
Total (4,407) (27,640) (23,233)

The "Share of loss of equity-accounted investees" mostly relates to the loss for the period of €30.6 million recognised by the associate Grupo Unidos por el Canal S.A. as a result of the award issued by the International Chamber of Commerce on 17 May 2023. More information is available in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section in the Directors' report.

35. Income taxes

Income taxes are broken down in the following table:

(€'000) 1st half 2022 1st half 2023 Variation
Current taxes (income taxes) 48,692 42,941 (5,751)
Deferred taxes (3,470) (21,738) (18,268)
Prior year taxes 3,190 12,286 9,096
Total 48,412 33,489 (14,923)
IRAP 3,093 7,162 4,069
Total 51,505 40,651 (10,854)

The Group's income taxes for the period 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.

36. Earnings (loss) per share

The calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share is shown in the following table:

1st half 2022 1st half 2023
(€'000)
Profit (loss) from continuing operations 33,018 (28,082)
Non-controlling interests (23,823) (4,352)
Profit (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the owners of the parent 9,195 (32,434)
Profit (loss) from continuing and discontinued operations 18,252 (28,702)
Non-controlling interests (23,823) (4,352)

Diluting effect 15,223 14,392
Average number of diluted shares 999,184 989,859
Euro per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (from continuing operations) 0.01 (0.03)
Basic loss per share (from continuing and discontinued operations) (0.01) (0.03)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (from continuing operations) 0.01 (0.03)
Diluted loss per share (from continuing and discontinued operations) (0.01) (0.03)

Note 20 "Equity" provides information on the weighted average number of shares used to calculate the earnings (loss) per share.

At the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there are no diluting effects caused by the potential increase in the number of ordinary shares in circulation related to the financial instruments issued by the parent.

37. Related party transactions

Related party transactions carried out during the period 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 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 period are presented in the "Group entities" column of the table showing related party transactions at the end of this note;

• other related parties: the main transactions with other related parties, identified pursuant to IAS 24, including companies managed and coordinated by Salini Costruttori S.p.A., are summarised below:

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 the first half of 2023 is €1.8 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 guarantees issued by CDP for advance payment bonds, performance bonds and other guarantees to customers.

The most significant transactions include subcontracting contracts agreed with Fincantieri for foreign and Italian contracts for a total cost of €5 million for the period and transactions with Fincantieri Infrastrutture Opere Marittime S.p.A. for the management of the PerGenova Breakwater Consortium's operations in accordance with its by-laws.

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.

Guarantees refer to documentary credit obtained from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. in the period, classified as significant transactions pursuant to the Related Party Transactions Regulation adopted by Consob with resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 (as subsequently amended). Specifically, these transactions related to the following contracts:

  • the Messina Catania Palermo railway line, lots 1 and 2, Kassar Consortium (€227.4 million);
  • the Trento rail by-pass, Tridentum Consortium (€124.9 million, of which Webuild is directly at risk for €62.5 million);
  • the high-speed Salerno Reggio Calabria railway line, lot 1, Xenia Consortium (€227.8 million, of which Webuild is directly at risk for €63 million);
  • the Messina Catania Palermo railway line, lot 3, Triscelio 3 Consortium (€120.7 million).

The above transactions classify as "major" as the ratio between the amount involved (the maximum amount available under the contract) and equity as per Webuild's statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 is above 5%.

The disclosure required by the Related Party Transactions Procedure has been provided to both the related party transactions committee and Consob, as required by article 13.3.c.i of the Related Party Transactions Regulation.

Report on review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements

To the shareholders of Webuild S.p.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Webuild Group, comprising the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, the statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the six months then ended and notes thereto. The directors are responsible for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34), endorsed by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Consob (the Italian Commission for Listed Companies and the Stock Exchange) guidelines set out in Consob resolution no. 10867 dated 31 July 1997. A review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Webuild Group as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2023 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34), endorsed by the European Union.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the disclosures provided by the directors in the "Main risk factors and uncertainties" section of the directors' report, to which the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements make reference, about the about major outstanding disputes, country risk exposure and other situations characterised by risk and/or uncertainty profiles.
