Profile
WIIT S.p.A. leads a Cloud Computing Group with a key focus on the provision of IT infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of customers (mainly through the "Managed Hosted Private Cloud" and "Hybrid Cloud") and the provision of infrastructure configuration, management and control services which guarantee uninterrupted functionality and availability.
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 Group operates through two 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). The Group also conducts daily backups in order to ensure both data depth over time and the ability to recover data in the event of a disaster.
The offer
The WIIT Group focuses on the Hosted Private Cloud and the Hybrid Cloud for the building of tailor-made 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 Group 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 Digital 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;
Software & Platform as a Service: : Software platforms and applications made available to the customer as "services";
Digital Process Outsourcing: covering end-to-end services managing entire digital 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, Software & Platform as a Service and Digital 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, whose consideration is generally included in the periodic fees, and subsequently the provision of specific services on-demand.

Directors' Report
Significant events
Significant contract
On January 4, 2022, the Parent Company WIIT S.p.A. signed a four-year agreement, for a total value of Euro 2 million, with a leading Italian multinational retail group. The agreement signed with WIIT lays the foundations for customers to implement Zero Datacenter policies, which will provide European business lines with a fully managed, multi-cloud model in which to activate services to support digital transformation. WIIT will help customers to activate this multi-cloud model, which integrates proprietary data centres with those of the hyperscalers selected. The most critical applications will benefit from WIIT's Premium Cloud provided by WIIT's tier-IV data centre in Milan with business continuity ensured by a secondary data centre, while other applications will utilise some of the leading hyperscalers, including Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. All services will be provided by WIIT 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to ensure the functioning of the customers' critical systems. The model, therefore, offers great scalability and flexibility to support customers in the digital transformation towards increasingly innovative services.
Update on business combinations
Purchase of 100% holding in ERPTech S.p.A.
On February 14, 2022, WIIT signed an agreement for the purchase of 100% of the share capital of ERPTech S.p.A. from BT Italia S.p.A. ERPTech is a leader in IT outsourcing of SAP systems, for which it holds 4 certifications, and posted 2021 revenues of Euro 9 million and EBITDA of about Euro 500 thousand. For a price of Euro 4 million and a potential increase in the consideration by up to Euro 2 million, subject to achieving certain business targets, this acquisition represents a decisive step forward in the growth of the WIIT Group in Italy and further consolidates the position of leadership in SAP technology management and hosting services. The acquisition was completed on March 31, 2022. At the closing date, Euro 4 million was paid in cash.
Purchase of 20% holding in Matika S.p.A.
On February 22, 2022, the minority shareholders of Matika exercised the put option for the sale of the residual 20% shareholding, as provided for in the option agreement.
The options exercised totalled Euro 9,051 thousand (the first for Euro 4,288 thousand and the second for Euro 4,763 thousand), compared to the original estimate of Euro 7,132 thousand, for an additional cost (net of discounting interest) of Euro 1,919 thousand recognised under income statement account no. 25. It should be noted that the measurement of these options and of the earn-out was established by way of contract amendments signed on June 24, 2021, and February 22, 2022, respectively. Payment of the option was settled 50% in cash and 50% through the use of treasury shares with a lock-up period of 12 months. Following the exercising of these options, Matika is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wiit as of the reporting date.


Sale of 20% holding in Comm.it Srl
On February 28, 2022, the Group sold the 20% holding in Comm.it Srl through its subsidiary Adelante Srl for Euro 53 thousand. The Group recognised to the income statement Euro 28,858 to "loss of companies valued at equity" following this transaction.
Purchase of 20% holding in Etaeria S.p.A.
On March 3, 2022, the second put option was exercised by A&C Holding S.r.l., an Etaeria minority shareholder, regarding the residual 20% stake in Etaeria. The options exercised (the first for Euro 1,273 thousand and the second for Euro 846 thousand) along with the earn-out relating to the results in 2020 and 2021 totalled Euro 3,283 thousand, compared to the original estimate of Euro 2,907 thousand, for an additional cost (net of discounting interest) of Euro 375 thousand recognised under income statement account no. 25. These options and the earn-out were established by way of a contract amendment signed on March 3, 2022.
Incorporation of WIIT AG
An event on March 9, 2022 made official the presence in Germany and saw the creation of the holding company WIIT AG, and the Cloud For Europe project, by which WIIT has set a goal of leading Europe cloud-based critical applications. The integration project calls for the German holding company to oversee company acquisitions in the region, myLOC Managed IT AG, topped off by the subsequent acquisitions of Mivitec, Boreus, and GECKO. The organisation calls for sales, administration, marketing, and human resources to be centralised. Today, the Group comes before stakeholders with a strong organisation that, in Germany alone, has more than 300 employees across five locations (in Düsseldorf, Munich, Stralsund, Rostock, and Berlin) with capabilities in DevOps and critical platform management, particularly in e-commerce and SAP, the crown jewel of the WIIT value proposition. Among the assets there are as many as 11 proprietary data centres that are layer 2 connected with the 3 in Italy. The maximum certification of Uptime Institute, the US standard bearer in performance certification, that has already been obtained for the two data centres in Milan is an objective that WIIT has also set for Germany with the achievement of Germany's first Tier IV by year end.
Mergers by incorporation
On March 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of WIIT S.p.A. approved the merger of Adelante S.r.l., Matika S.p.A., and Etaeria S.p.A. This merger will enable the Company to take charge of all the activities previously conducted by the companies to be merged. In general terms, the goal of the merger is to optimise the coordination, operation and synergies of the functions performed by the companies to be merged, as well as to lower the structural costs of operating legally distinct entities, which will bring benefits in terms of operational and financial efficiency and efficacy, thereby enabling the WIIT Group to strengthen its position as an industry leader in Europe.
The date of efficacy of the merger will be defined in the deed of merger.
Purchase of 15% holding in Reventure Gmbh
On March 30, 2022, a 15% holding in Reventure GmbH was acquired through the German subsidiary Boreus GmbH for Euro 150 thousand. At the reporting date, the Group holds 100% of Reventure GmbH.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In accordance with the ESMA recommendation on alternative performance measures (ESMA/2015/1415), as implemented by Consob Communication No. 0092543 at December 3, 2015, the Alternative Performance Measures used to monitor the Group's operating and financial performance are outlined below.
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 deriving from equity - accounted investee) and amortisation, depreciation, write-downs and provisions. EBITDA is not recognised as an accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determination criterion applied by the Group may not be homogenous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Parent Company may not be comparable with the determined by the latter.
EBITDA Margin - measures the Group operating profitability as a percentage of consolidated revenues reported in the year and is defined as the ratio between EBITDA and Total revenues and operating 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 equity - accounted investee), amortisation, depreciation, write-downs and provisions, costs for professional merger & acquisition (M&A) services, the Put&Call option costs and Stock Option/Stock Grant incentive plan costs.
With regards to Adjusted EBITDA, the Group states that the adjustment (which defines Adjusted EBITDA) was made for the purposes of reflecting the Group's operating performance, net of the effects of certain events and transactions. This adjustment on certain expenses was necessary for improved comparability with the historic figures for the years under review, as such include cost items relating to company developments not concerning the normal operating management of the Group's business and related to professional services costs for M&A's. In order to improve the comparability of operating performance, the Group also excludes from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the costs of accounting for stock options and stock grants (IFRS2). Adjusted EBITDA is not recognised as an accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determination criterion applied by the Group may not be homogenous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the latter.


Adjusted EBITDA Margin - measures the Group operating profitability as a percentage of consolidated revenues reported in the year and is defined as the ratio between Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted total revenues and operating income.
EBIT - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. 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 equity - accounted investee). EBIT is not recognised as an accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determination criterion applied by the Group may not be homogenous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the latter.
EBIT Margin - measures the earning capacity of Group sales. It is calculated as the ratio between EBIT and Total revenues and operating income.
Adjusted EBIT - 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 equity - accounted investee), amortisation, depreciation and write-downs, costs for professional merger & acquisition (M&A) services, the Put&Call option costs and Stock Option/Stock Grant incentive plan costs and the amortisation/depreciation of the fixed assets from the Purchase Price Allocation from the acquisitions.
With regards to Adjusted EBIT, the Group states that the adjustment (which defines Adjusted EBIT) was made for the purposes of reflecting the Group's operating performance, net of the effects of certain events and transactions. This adjustment on certain expenses was necessary for improved comparability with the historic figures for the years under review, as such include cost items relating to company developments not concerning the normal operating management of the Group's business and related to professional services costs for M&A's. In order to improve operating performance comparability, the Group also excludes from the Adjusted EBIT the costs for the accounting of Stock options and Stock Grants (IFRS2) and the amortisation and depreciation of assets from the Purchase Price Allocation; client list amortisation, platform and Data Center amortisation for acquisitions.
Adjusted EBIT Margin - measures the earning capacity of Group sales. It is calculated as the ratio between Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted total revenues and operating income.
Adjusted net profit or loss – A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure its performance. The Adjusted net profit or loss is calculated as the net profit or loss for the period, gross of M&A costs, the costs to adjust the Put&Call options, the costs for the accounting of Stock options and Stock Grants (IFRS2), the financial expense for the closure of the loan contracts, and the amortisation and depreciation of assets arising from the Purchase Price Allocation; customer list amortisation, platform and Data Center amortisation for acquisitions and the related tax effects on the excluded items and of income deriving from the difference between the estimated price for the acquisition of equity investments and the price actually paid and of the relative tax effects on the excluded items


Net financial debt – this is a valid measure of the Group's financial structure. It is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Consob Communication No. 5/21 of April 29, 2021 and the ESMA 32-382-1138 recommendations. It is presented in the notes to the financial statements.
Adjusted Net Financial Position – this is a valid measure of the Group's financial structure. It is determined in accordance with Consob Communication No. 5/21 of April 29, 2021 and in accordance with ESMA Recommendations 32-382-1138, including, where applicable, other non-current assets related to security deposits and excluding trade and other non-current payables. It is also presented net of the effects of IFRS 16. This measure is presented in the Directors' Report.
Total adjusted revenues and operating income - A non-GAAP measure used by the Group to measure performance. Total adjusted operating revenues and income is calculated as Total operating revenues and income as per the income statement, in accordance with IFRS, less in 2020 the non-recurring item regarding the tax credit on listing classified to "Other revenues and income". Total adjusted revenues and operating income is not recognised as an accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determination criterion applied by the Group may not be homogenous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the determined by the latter.


Adjusted operating revenues and income was up 48.6% on the same period of 2021. This strong result reflects the company's healthy income statement and the regard in which the WIIT Group is held among its customer base as a high-quality and cost competitive player. The increase is due both to organic growth and the contribution of the new companies acquired in 2021.

Main notes to the balance sheet
The value of fixed assets remains substantially unchanged as the effect of investments for approx. Euro 7.3 million in the period was partly offset by amortisation and depreciation of approx. Euro 5.2 million. The increase in goodwill is due to the recent acquisition of ERPtech, in addition to the residual investment in Reventure GmbH.
New right-of-use (IFRS 16) contracts were signed in the first three months of the year for Euro 3.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents reflect outflows of Euro 8.9 million against the use of liquidity to purchase treasury shares for Euro 3.6 million, the purchase of the residual investment in Etaeria S.p.A, net of the advance paid, for Euro 1.2 million, of Matika S.p.A for Euro 2.3 million (partly paid in cash), in addition to the acquisition of the investment in ERPTech for Euro 4 million (net of cash and cash equivalents). Payables to other lenders includes approx. Euro 4.7 million for investments in Q1 2022, of which Euro 2.3 million relate to leasing charges measured according to the finance method (IFRS 16, partly already recognised under IAS 17), and for the remaining amount to property and motor vehicle lease contract payables relating to the above Standard and excluded from the cash flow statement.
Financial payables mainly concern lease payables (Right-of-use)

Subsequent events to March 31, 2022
ESG Rating
On April 20, the parent company announced its position among the 50 best sustainable companies in the software and services sector, according to Sustainalytics' ESG Rating. An ESG Rating (or Sustainability Rating) is a score that certifies the solidity of an organisation from the standpoint of its environmental, social and governance performances and is to be regarded as complementary to traditional ratings, defined exclusively according to operating-financial indicators. WIIT has embarked on an ecological transition since its listing to become a sustainability ratings leader and to attract investments from the financial community, which looks to these matters with increasing interest, setting itself apart on the Software and Services market. In order to consolidate its ESG commitment and best tap into the opportunities presented by the ecological transition, in 2020 the Group launched an annual sustainability performances assessment process, supported by Sustainalytics, one of the world's most reputable ESG Ratings agencies. According to Sustainalytics, WIIT, thanks to the effective management of material sustainability topics, presents a low risk profile in terms of possible significant impacts from non-financial factors. In addition to not being subject to disputes in relation to ESG issues, WIIT has stood out for our excellent performance in corporate governance, earning a score of 14.8 for a "Low" ESG risk rating on a 5-tier scale from "Negligible" to "High". The rating positions WIIT's Sustainability Report in line with best market practice, highlighting its strong sense of responsibility towards stakeholders. WIIT was therefore recognised among the "ESG Industry Top Rated" by Sustainalytics, i.e. the 50 top performing Software & Services companies globally in this regard.

The Board has the right to identify the beneficiaries of these plans and, where appropriate, the maximum number of options to be assigned to each of them.
Update on business combinations
On May 10, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meetings of the subsidiaries Adelante Srl, Matika Spa and Etaeria Spa were held to approve the merger proposal into WIIT S.p.A.. The parent company approved the project through the notarised Board of Directors of May 11.


Outlook
With reference to the situation regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Group has no exposure to Russian or Ukrainian counterparties, either directly or indirectly. This situation is however generally impacting raw material costs, in particular the energy costs required for its servers. In order to ensure future margins, the Group has signed a contract with an energy company to stabilise the cost of energy for the coming four years.
In the first three months of 2022, despite the continued COVID-19 pandemic, the company maintained growth. Expectations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic confirmed the gradual lifting of restrictions on the basis of an accelerated vaccine campaign, while the WIIT Group continues its focus on measures to ensure safety at local offices in order to ensure that normal operations continue. The Group currently, on the basis of available information, does not expect an impact on the operating-financial results for the present year. Any future impacts on the operating-financial performance and on the equity situation of the Group, in addition to the business development plans, shall be assessed in view of the development and duration of the pandemic, both in Italy and overseas. No particular situations of insolvency among the company's customers are highlighted. There were no impacts on the financial statement items of a valuation nature (i.e. doubtful debt provision, inventory obsolescence provision, provisions for risks and charges) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group has continued to support remote working, balanced with in-person work.
