This milestone not only validates the quality and compeCCveness of our offering, but also highlights the strategic importance of this plaMorm, which we view as a core asset for the Group's future growth. At a Cme when data sovereignty and the demand for European cloud services — for both European and internaConal clients — are increasingly criCcal, WIIT reaffirms its role as a reliable partner capable of delivering not only performance and innovaCon, but also full data protecCon, with all informaCon managed in compliance with the strictest regulaCons by a European provider".

WIIT Group financial review as at 31 March 2025

Revenues at Euro 41.1 million (Euro 14.4 million in Italy, Euro 22.1 million in Germany, and Euro 4.6 million in Switzerland), marking a +22.6% increase over the Euro 33.5 million recorded in the same period last year. The increase is driven in particular by the organic growth of ARR reported revenues of +4.6%, of which in Italy about +7.4% year-on-year and in Germany about +2.1%.

4 Excluding the IFRS 16 effect of Euro 12.1 million (Euro 11.4 million in FY2024) and including the valua@on of treasury shares held in the por`olio, es@mated at approximately Euro 28.9 million based on the market value as of 31 March, 2025 (market value as of 31 December, 2024: Euro 38.3 million)

The total contribution of the acquired companies/business units amounted to Euro 7.7 million, of which (i) Euro 1.9 million (100.0% Recurring Revenue) related to the Edge&Cloud business in Germany, consolidated as of 1 April 2024; (ii) Euro 4.6 million (65.4% Recurring Revenue) related to Econis AG in Switzerland, consolidated as of 1 May 2024; and (iii) Euro 1.2 million (72.1% Recurring Revenue) related to Michgehl & Partner, consolidated as of 1 November 2024.

Adjusted operaJng costs at approximately Euro 12.0 million, showed an increase of Euro 0.5 million over Q1 2024, primarily due to the consolidaMon of acquired companies in Germany and Switzerland, almost enMrely offset by cost synergies achieved through the mergers in Germany. The impact of cost synergies related to the new acquisiMons is expected to be reflected in the figures over the next 12 month

Adjusted personnel costs at approximately Euro 13.1 million, increasing Euro 4.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This change is almost enMrely ajributable to the impact of new acquisiMons.

EBITDA Adjusted at to Euro 15.8 million (Euro 13.0 million in Q1 2024), + 21.0% compared to the same period of the previous year, thanks to a focus on Cloud services, the optimization achieved in process and operational service organization, cost synergies, and the continuous improvement in the margin of acquired companies. Margin on revenue is at 38.4% (38.9% in Q1 2024), impacted by the dilutive effect of consolidating Edge&Cloud, Econis AG and Michgehl & Partner, whose synergies are expected to be seen over the next 12 months. The 'like-for-like' margin would have been 42.9%, up by 400 basis points vs Q12024.

As of 31 March, 2025, WIIT Group's margin in Italy stood at 48.9% (44.3% in Q1 2024), and in Germany at 36.6% (34.5% in Q1 2024). The like-for-like margin in Germany (excluding the Edge&Cloud business unit and Michgehl & Partners) was 38.4% (34.5% in Q1 2024), while the likefor-like margin excluding Gecko reached 41.5% (36.3% in Q1 2024), marking a significant increase compared to the same period last year, driven by a growing focus on higher value-added services.

The adjustment applied to the Gross Operating Margin (EBITDA) as of 31 March 2025, refers to effects arising from extraordinary M&A transactions amounting to Euro 0.25 million, costs related to incentive plans based on financial instruments totaling Euro 0.15 million.

Adjusted EBIT (Net Operating Margin) at Euro 7.8 million, compared to Euro 7.2 million in Q1 2024 (+8.5%), representing 18.9% of revenues (21.3% in Q1 2024). Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately Euro 8.0 million, registering an increase of Euro 2.1 million over the same period last year, reflecting the investments made in 2023

and 2024 to support Data Center capacity in Italy and Germany, as well as the impact of the companies acquired in 2024.

The adjustment at the Net Operating Margin (EBIT) level as of 31 March 2025, refers to the previously mentioned adjustments at the EBITDA level, as well as to the amortization value related to the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) concerning acquisitions, amounting to Euro 1.2 million.

Financial Expenses at Euro 2.1 million, mainly due to bond interest expenses of Euro 1.2 million, and other financial expenses for bank and other financing, substantially stable on the same period of the previous year.

Net Profit Adjusted at Euro 4.3 million, compared to Euro 4.1 million in Q1 2024 (+4.1%), including the tax effect calculated on adjustments at the consolidated operating result level.

WIIT Group financial and equity review as at 31 March 2025

Net Financial Position (debt) at Euro -216.9 million as of 31 March 2025 (Euro -212.7 million as of 31 December 2024), considering the IFRS16 impact of approximately EUR 12.1 million (Euro 11.4 million as of 31 December 2024) and excluding the valuation of treasury shares at approximately Euro 28.9 million at market value as of 31 March, 2025 (market value as of 31 December 2024 was Euro 38.3 million).

This change primarily includes:

  • The purchase of treasury shares for Euro 1.1 million;
  • The investments (CAPEX) totaling approximately Euro 11.1 million for:
    • o Euro 8.2 million for maintenance and purchase of IT infrastructures related to new contracts signed during the year both in Italy and abroad.
    • o Euro 2.9 million mainly related to rental, right of use and the residual part to vehicles.

In Q1 2025, cash flows generated by operaQng acQviQes amounted to EUR 15.7 million. Cash availability as of 31 March, 2025, stood at Euro 17.5 million, reflecOng a Euro +2.0 million difference from 31 December, 2024. The valuaOon does not include the approximately Euro 28.9 million valuaOon of treasury shares at market value as of 31 March, 2025.

AlternaKve Performance Measures

In accordance with the ESMA recommenda1on on alterna1ve performance measures (ESMA/2015/1415), as implemented by Consob Communica1on No. 0092543 at December 3, 2015, the Alterna1ve Performance Measures used to monitor the Group's opera1ng and financial performance are outlined below.

Total adjusted Revenues and operaQng income - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. Total adjusted operaOng revenues and income is calculated as Total operaOng revenues and income as per the income statement, in accordance with IFRS, less the non-recurring item regarding the negaOve goodwill (bargain purchase) classified to "Other operaOng income" in 2024. Total adjusted revenues and operaOng income is not recognised as an accounOng measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determinaOon criterion applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the laler.

EBITDA - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. EBITDA is the sum of the net profit for the year, gross of taxes, financial income and expenses (including exchange gains and losses) and amorOzaOon, depreciaOon and write-downs. EBITDA is not recognised as an accounOng measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determinaOon criterion applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Parent Company may not be comparable with the determined by the laler.

EBITDA Margin - measures the Group operaOng profitability as a percentage of consolidated revenues reported in the year and is defined as the raOo between EBITDA and Total revenues and operaOng income.

Adjusted EBITDA - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the net profit for the period, gross of taxes, financial income and expenses (including exchange gains and losses and deriving from the measurement at equity of investments), amorOzaOon, depreciaOon, write-downs and provisions, professional merger & acquisiOon (M&A) services, personnel internal reorganizaOon costs, Put&Call opOon costs, Stock OpOon/Stock Grant incenOve plan costs, and the non-recurring item related to negaOve goodwill (badwill) classified under "Other revenues and operaOng income". With regards to Adjusted EBITDA, the Group states that the adjustment (which defines Adjusted EBITDA) was made for the purposes of reflecOng the Group's operaOng performance, net of the effects of certain events and transacOons. This adjustment on certain expenses was necessary for improved comparability with the historic figures for the years under review, as such include cost items relaOng to company developments not concerning the normal operaOng management of the Group's business and related to professional services costs for M&A's. In order to improve the comparability of operaOng performance, the Group also excludes from the calculaOon of Adjusted EBITDA the costs of accounOng for stock opOons and stock grants (IFRS2). Adjusted EBITDA is not recognised as an accounOng measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determinaOon criterion applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the laler.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin - measures the Group operaOng profitability as a percentage of consolidated revenues reported in the year and is defined as the raOo between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted total revenues and operaOng income.

EBIT - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. EBIT is the sum of the net profit for the year, gross of taxes and financial income and expenses (including exchange gains and losses). EBIT is not recognised as an

accounOng measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determinaOon criterion applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the laler.

EBIT Margin - measures the earning capacity of Group sales. It is calculated as the raOo between EBIT and Total revenues and operaOng income.

Adjusted EBIT - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. Adjusted EBIT is the sum of the net profit for the period, gross of taxes, financial income and expenses (including exchange gains and losses and deriving from the measurement at equity of investments), amorOsaOon, depreciaOon and write-downs, professional merger & acquisiOon (M&A) services, personnel internal reorganizaOon costs, Put&Call opOon costs and Stock OpOon/Stock Grant incenOve plan costs, the amorOzaOon/depreciaOon of the fixed assets from the Purchase Price AllocaOon from the acquisiOons and the non-recurring item related to negaOve goodwill (bargain purchase) classified under "Other revenues and operaOng income". With regards to Adjusted EBIT, the Group states that the adjustment (which defines Adjusted EBIT) was made for the purposes of reflecOng the Group's operaOng performance, net of the effects of certain events and transacOons. This adjustment on certain expenses was necessary for improved comparability with the historic figures for the years under review, as such include cost items relaOng to company developments not concerning the normal operaOng management of the Group's business and related to professional services costs for M&A's. In order to improve operaOng performance comparability, the Group also excludes from the Adjusted EBIT the costs for the accounOng of Stock opOons and Stock Grants (IFRS2) and the amorOzaOon and depreciaOon of assets from the Purchase Price AllocaOon; customer list, exclusive contracts and placorm and Data Center amorOzaOon, related to the acquisiOons.
