ESG at the Core of Webuild's Strategy


First Half 2022 Financial Results
(1) Including emissions generated directly by the work sites and offices (scope 1) and by the electrical energy purchased (scope 2), as well as other indirect emissions generated by only purchased goods and services not owned or controlled by the Group (scope 3)
(2) Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR): 2019 and 2020 data have been restated to include Astaldi


Outlook confirmed

Key takeaways
- ✓ Resilient 1H 2022 results: business still growing and balance sheet has improved
- ✓ Inflationary pressures well managed: thanks to price revision mechanisms in our contracts and recent government measures in Italy
- ✓ Global infrastructure market remains strong: massive investments in many countries
- ✓ In Italy, investments in infrastructure financed by PNRR are expected to accelerate in 2H 2022
- ✓ Targets confirmed

Net of any unforeseeable impact from the health emergency and the escalation of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine - where the Group is not present - current projects, the significant order backlog and growing demand in core markets for sustainable infrastructure brings Webuild to confirm its financial outlook for 2022
