Profile

WIIT S.p.A. leads a Cloud Computing Group with a key focus on the building and provision of IT infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of customers (mainly through the "Hosted Private Cloud" and "Hybrid Cloud") and the provision of complementary infrastructure configuration, management and control services which guarantee uninterrupted functionality and availability (principally PaaS or Platform-as-a-Services). The company provides Cloud services for the "critical applications" of its customers, i.e. those whose malfunction may impact business continuity and thus demand guaranteed optimal and non-stop functioning. These include the main ERP's (Enterprise Resource Planning) on the market, such as for example SAP, Oracle and Microsoft - in addition to critical applications developed ad hoc for customer business needs (custom applications).

The company operates through two owned Data Centers, with the main Milan center TIER IV certified (maximum reliability level) by the Uptime Institute.

By providing services through a number of servers and storage devices, customer "business continuity" can be guaranteed and uninterrupted availability ensured in the case of malfunctions or interruptions to individual systems. The company makes available to customers its Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery service (replicating processing systems and all client critical data almost in real time), with daily back-ups executed.

The offer

WIIT focuses on the Hosted Private Cloud and the Hybrid Cloud for the building of tailormade IT infrastructure for customers. The Group to a lesser extent provides Public Cloud services, integrating and managing more standardised solutions provided by the main players, adapting them to customers' specific needs.

As part of these operations, the company offers its services to customers by combining a range of base components of each service category so as to build a custom-made Hosted Private Cloud and/or Hybrid Cloud proposal, according to the specific service, performance and security needs of the customer.

The Group's core service categories are presented below. Specifically, a description of services starting from the minimum Infrastructure of the Service category is presented, which forms the underlying component for the provision of other services - up to the more complete Business Process Outsourcing service.

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): the provision of servers, storage and networks;

PaaS (Platform as a Service): the Group's main service, including - in addition to IaaS services - also database or ERP provision services on an on-demand basis;

End User Productivity: customer contact services containing all technologies and methods which improve both individual productivity and the customer/WIIT interface;

Application Management: application life cycle services, including corrective and evolutionary maintenance and the development of new functionalities;

SaaS (Software as a Service): Software platforms and applications made available to the customer as "services";

Business Process Outsourcing: covering end-to-end services managing entire business processes within the customer value chain.

Services are usually provided through a standard contract type for all categories (IaaS, Paas, End User Productivity, Application Management, SaaS and Business Process Outsourcing) and combined within a single all-inclusive price structure and contract.

Contracts usually cover a period of between three and five years, with generally automatic renewal for equivalent periods (subject to a termination option within the final six months). They generally stipulate an initial provision of services for the "start-up" phase in support of the Group's services and subsequently the provision of specific services on-demand.

Certifications

The company has two Data Centers, with the main Milan center TIER IV certified (maximum reliability level) by the Uptime Institute. To date, only a select number of data centers are TIER IV certified by the Uptime Institute in the "Constructed Facility" category.

(https://uptimeinstitute.com/TierCertification/constructed-facility-certifications.php).

The company has achieved international certification for its Data Centers, particularly in terms of service security, such as the ISO20000 (Process Compliance), ISO27001 (Information Security), and ISO22301 (Business Continuity) certifications and with service provision certified to the ITIL (Infrastructure Library) standard.

The company has also achieved certification for its customer IT system management model according to the international ISO/IEC 20000:2005 standard, while its organisation is ISO 9001 certified for the development and provision of Business Process Outsourcing services, such as: Help Desk IT, Desktop Management, Server Management, Application Management, Asset Management, System Housing and Hosting Document Processing System Management.

The correct management and protection of data and information managed through its IT systems is guaranteed through the company's receipt in 2012 of the international ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification (international standard setting the requirements for information technology security management systems), while developing an operational continuity method based on ISO 22301, shifting from a structured approached not based on technology alone, but capable of addressing all processes involved in operational recovery.

Further to these certifications, the company is a SAP top partner and one of the few companies globally to have obtained 5 of the 6 SAP Outsourcing Operation certifications (https://www.sap.com/dmc/exp/2018\_Partner\_Guide/#/partners).

Wiit: share price and volumes - 1.01.2019 – 31.03.2019

In March 2019, the parent company WIIT S.p.A. signed a multi-year contract worth approx. Euro 5.3 million with F.I.L.A. S.p.A., a consumer goods leader, for a new project to manage the increasing complexity of the business and to safeguard security - key elements of the Hybrid Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud service provided by WIIT. This project mainly targets the establishment of solid control over all business processes (productive, inventory, logistics etc.), while guaranteeing the usability and user friendliness of the new systems for an extensive user base, constructing a solid infrastructure based on an evolved Hybrid Cloud model which guarantees rapid and safe future growth and which develops perfectly in harmony with increased business complexity.

In April 2019, the parent company WIIT S.p.A. signed with the Tax Agency a preliminary agreement for the application of the "Patent Box" tax break for the fiveyear period 2015-2019, with the option to extend this benefit to the following five-year period 2020-2024.

The Patent Box supports enterprises producing income through the direct and indirect use of intellectual property, patents, software and other intangible assets; the tax break for 2015 was calculated by excluding from the assessable base 30% of the income relating to the use of qualifying intangible assets, for 2016 the exclusion percentage is 40%, while amounting to 50% for the 2017-2019 three-year period. This taxation system is renewable.

The tax benefit for WIIT over the 2015-2019 period will be fully reflected in the 2019 results and quantified on preparing the relative financial statements. Categorisable income in the first period of 2015/2018 is estimated at approx. Euro 7.7 million

Alternative performance indicators

Adjusted EBITDA - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. It equates to EBITDA gross of the following accounts: "IPO process costs", merger & acquisition costs and personnel costs as per IFRS 2 regarding performance shares. Adjusted EBITDA is not recognised as an accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the criteria applied by the company may not be uniform with the criteria adopted by other groups and, therefore, its value for the company may not be comparable with that calculated by such groups.

EBITDA - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance.

Main notes to the balance sheet

The increase in intangible assets mainly relates to "Usage rights" regarding the signing of the long-term rental contract for the new Wiit S.p.A. Head Quarters in via dei Mercanti 12, Milan, as per IFRS 16.

The increase in property, plant and equipment mainly concerns the acquisition of IT infrastructure for new orders agreed in the first quarter.

Higher payables to other lenders are strictly related to tangible and intangible asset and usage right investments (IFRS 16).

"Other payables" mainly include the Shareholder payable for dividends of Euro 2.3 million, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of March 18, 2019, but settled in April 2019.
