Profile

The Group provides secure 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) applications 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) and all the non-interruptible business applications.

The Group mainly operates through its own Data Centers, three of which are TIER IV certified (maximum reliability level) by the Uptime Institute, two in Milan and the third in Dusseldorf.

By providing Group services through a number of servers and storage "business continuity" can be guaranteed and uninterrupted availability ensured in the case of malfunctions or interruptions to individual systems. These are supported by the company's cyber security services, ensuring IT security internally and for its customers can also access Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery services, (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 WIT 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 standardized solutions provided by the main players, adapting them to customers' specific needs.

Within its core 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 principal categories of service that the Group offers its customers are: Specifically, a description of services starting from Colocation, the most simple service, and then moving up to the Infrastructure as a Service category - which forms the underlying component for ther more advanced services - up to the more complex SaaS Digital Process Transformation service. The Datacenter Infrastructure layer is the basic layer on which the services provided by the Group are developed, and can be either Private or Public in a Hybrid Cloud logic.

Colocation: involves making the physical space and the energy used by the client infrastructure available within the Data Centers in Germany.

laaS (Infrastructure as a Service): the provision of servers, storage and networks and relative Performance Monitoring and Backup services;

PaaS (Platform as a Service): is the layer dedicated to managed services, such as the provision of ondemand databases, ERP, smart working, cyber security and Kubernetes, , which include corrective and adaptive maintenance and the development of new functionalities;

Digital Process Transformation: Software platforms and applications made available to the client as "services" and which also include the Digital Process Transformation offer, i.e. end-to-end services for the digital management of entire business processes which are part of the customer value chain.

Services are usually provided through a standard contract type for all categories (laaS, PaaS, Digital Process Transformation) and combined within a single all-inclusive price structure and contract.

Contract duration is generally between three and five years and usually with automatic renewal for periods of equal length (unless terminated in the six months before the expiration date). 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.

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.

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 the non-recurring the negative goodwill (bargain purchase) classified to "Other operating income" in 2024. 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 homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and, therefore, the amount obtained by the Group may not be comparable with the deter.

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 amortization, depreciation and write-downs. EBTDA 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 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 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 the measurement at equity of investments), amortization, write-downs and provisions, professional merger & acquisition (M&A) services, personnel internal reorganization costs, Stock Option/Stock Grant incentive plan costs, and the positive non-recurring item related to the bargain purchase classified under "Other revenues and operating income". 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 homogeneous 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 total revenues and operating 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 accounting measure within IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union. Consequently, the determination 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 deter.

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 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), amortisation and write-downs, professional merger & acquisition (M&A) services, personnel internal reorganization costs, and Stock Option/Stock Grant incentive plan costs, the amortization of the fixed assets from the Purchase Price Allocation from the acquisitions and the positive non-recurring item related to the bargain purchase classified under "Other revenues and operating income". With regards to Adjusted EBT, 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 EBTT the accounting of Stock options and Stock Grants (IFRS2) and the amortisation and depreciation of assets from the Purchase Price Allocation; customer list, exclusive contracts and platform and Data Center amortisation, related to the 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, personnel internal reorganisation costs, the costs for the accounting of Stock Grants (IFRS2), the financial expense for the closure of the loan contracts, and the amortisation of assets arising from the Purchase Price Allocation; customer list, exclusive contracts and platform and Data Center amortisation, related to the acquisitions and the related 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 IFRS 16. This measure is presented in the Directors' Report.

Main notes to the income statement

Revenues and operating income were up 22.6% on the same period of 2024.This strong result reflects the Group's healthy income statement and the regard in which the 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 2024. Specifically, the Edge&Cloud business unit, Econis AG and Michghel & Partners GmbH generated revenues of Euro 1.9 million, Euro 1.2 million in the quarter respectively. Therefore, net of the revenues generated by the newly-acquired companies, revenues would have amounted to Euro 33.4 million, substantially in line with the same period of the previous year. Unlike the first three months of FY 2024 and in continuity with Group policy, recurring service revenue (ARR) was increased against a reduction in lower value revenues. Organic ARR revenue growth was 4.6%, with Italy up by approximately 7.4% over the previous year and Germany by approximately 2.1%.

The following table shows the results achieved in the first three months of 2025, compared with the same period of 2024 in terms of total revenues and operating income, EBIT, profit before taxes and consolidated net profit.

Consolidated net profit 3.157,082 3,060,969 4,256,370 4,088,804 4.1%

Adjusted EBITDA was Euro 15.8 million (Euro 13.0 million in Q1 2024), up 21.0% on the same period of the previous year, thanks to the concentration on Cloud services, the degree of optimisation of process and operating services organisation, cost synergies, and the ongoing improvement in the margin of acquirees. The margin was 38.4% (38.9% in Q1 2024), impacted by the dilutive effect of the consolidation of the Edge&Cloud business unit, Econis AG and Michgehl & Partner, whose synergies are expected to emerge over the next 12 months. The like-for-like margin is 42.9% (up 400 bps vs Q1 2024).

The WIIT Group's margin in Italy in Q12025 was 48.9% (44.3% in Q12024), and in Germany 36.6% (34.4% in Q1 24). WIT AG's like-for-like margin (excluding the Edge&Cloud business unit and Michgehl & Partners) in Germany is 38.4% (34.5% in Q1 2024), while WIT AG's like for-like margin is 41.5% (36.3% in Q1 2024), up significantly on the same period of the previous year, thanks to the ever-increasing focus on higher addedvalue services.

The adjustment to Q1 2025 EBITDA concerns the effects of the M&As, amounting to Euro 0.25 million, and the costs related to the financial instrument-based incentive plans of Euro 0.15 million

Adjusted Consolidated EBIT was Euro 7.8 million (Euro 7.2 million in Q1 2024), +8.5% on Q1 2024, with an 18.9% revenue margin. Amortisation, depreciation and write-downs totalled approx. Euro 8.0 million,

increasing Euro 2.1 million compared to the same period of the previous year and reflects the investments in 2023 and 2024 to support Data Center capacity in Italy and Germany and the effect of the companies acquired in 2024.

The Adjusted consolidated net profit amounted to Euro 4.1 million in Q1 2024), up 4.1% on Q1 2024 thanks to the factors outlined above for EBITDA and EBIT, including the tax effect calculated on the adjustments at consolidated EBIT level.

Subsequent events to March 31, 2025

On April 7, 2025, WIT announced the renewal and extension of a contract in Germany through its German subsidiary WIIT AG, with a total value of Euro 9.0 million. The five-year agreement, signed with a top customer in Germany, a Marketing Technology leader, expands the scope of existing WITT services to include the new PaaS solution, the WIT Cloud Native Platform (WCNP). This platform will serve as the basis for the customer's future innovative marketing portfolio. This success is the result of a tender with US hyperscalers and confirms that the WCNP is a solid European option, both for the wide range of high value-added services it offers and for its competitive pricing. WIT will support the customer throughout the migration process, leveraging its team's experience in managing technology replatforming projects. Services will be provided by WIIT's Tier V data center, certified by the Uptime Institute and part of WIT AG's Germany Region Center. Opened in April 2024, this Tier IV data center is the first of its kind, designed specifically to ensure maximum resilience for customers requiring "uninterrupted business operations".

On April 29, 2025, WIT's Shareholders' Meeting (i) approved the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the distribution of a gross dividend per share of Euro 0.30, (i) approved a financial instrument-based remuneration plan and the Remuneration Policy and Report, (iii) authorized the purchase and utilization of treasury shares, and (iv) approved the update of the Shareholders' Meeting Regulation.

OUTLOOK

In light of the continued expansion of the Cloud market and the increasing adoption of SaaS, PaaS and laaS solutions, activities are expected to shift towards greater technological specialization and operating aglility. Corporate governance will be strengthened by advanced performance monitoring and management tools, with an increasing focus on cybersecurity, infrastructure scalability and process automation. The organizational structure will migrate towards more horizontal and collaborative models, encouraging integration between technical and commercial departments. In addition, human resource management will evolve to attract and retain talent with advanced skills in cloud computing, data analytics and Al.

The WIT Group at March 31, 2025 has a marginal exposure to the Russian, Ukrainian and Israeli markets. Group revenues from Russia in Q1 2025 amounted to Euro 7 thousand (0.01% of revenues), with those from the Ukraine totalling Euro 49 thousand (0.12% of revenues) and with none from Israel. The Directors do not consider that either direct or indirect risks may arise from such trade relations.
