Full Year 2020 Financial Results

Strategic Drivers 2021-23

Guidelines Progress

Consolidate presence in Italy

  • Accelerating work on projects in the order book
  • Taking advantage of the Group's greater scale to seize opportunities arising from Italy's latest measures for the infrastructure sector (new advance payment regime and a simplified tender procedure)

Expand in adjacent segments that can enable greater diversification of the order backlog and cash flow, such as infrastructure maintenance in Italy

De-risk the order backlog by taking advantage of opportunities offered by a trend towards more infrastructure investment in markets with low risk profiles(1)

Continue to implement an operational efficiency program worth €120m by 2023, enabled by the digitalization of core processes (e.g. knowledge management, bid-to-win, field process automation and control, workforce planning)

Focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), favouring infrastructure projects that help reduce harmful gas emissions, all the while guaranteeing high worker safety standards.

  • Unblocked €3.6bn of strategic projects
  • New order and best offer in 2021for €2.5bn (highway Pedemontana Lombarda, Fortezza-Ponte Gardena railway and Messina-Catania high-capacity)
  • First tenders submitted for road maintenance
  • Ongoing discussion for our proposal to act as General contractor – that foresees grouping of works into big lots
  • Ca 90% tenders awaiting outcome and to be presented in low-risk countries(1)
  • 10% of efficiencies delivered in 2020
  • Started activity on the other work-streams
  • 89% construction backlog(2) related to related to projects that contribute to SDG(3)
  • Non-financial KPIs included in 2020-22 LTI Plan
  • Set ESG targets, to be achieved by 2022-23

(1) Including Italy, North America, central and northern Europe and Australia (2) Including Fisia Italimpianti Plants

Strong commercial pipeline, with focus on North America, Europe, Italy and Australia

Targeting development of sustainable infrastructure in Italy…

(1) With reference to projects proposed for inclusion in Next Generation EU funds (2) Combined figures for projects to be unblocked and road maintenance

(3) Reduction enabled by moving traffic from sea (current) to rail/road (post-intervention)

…with innovative solutions for environment, people and customers

Cost-saving program to improve operating efficiencies and capture synergies with Astaldi

2021-2023 Financial Trajectory of Core Business

(*) 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 Group or through non-controlling investments in joint ventures (**) The figures shown are adjusted economic data of the effects of the Settlement Agreement with Società Italiana per Condotte d'Acqua S.p.A. in A.S. ("Condotte") which, during the first half of 2020, entailed the recognition of a total amount of € 81 million to Condotte, of which € 66 million through the waiver of the Consortium's receivables from Condotte itself and € 15 million through cash payments. Considering that, at December 31, 2019, a bad debt provision of € 46 million had been posted, the overall effect of the settlement agreement is a charge of € 35 million, of which € 20 million as a loss on receivables - resulting from the waiver to the credit of 66 million net of the use of the aforementioned fund - and € 15 million classified under various management charges, as a transaction charge
