Notes on Alternative Performance Measures

Pursuant to the ESMA guidelines on alternative performance measures ("APMs") (ESMA/2015/1415), endorsed by CONSOB (see CONSOB Communication No. 0092543 dated 3 December 2015), it should be noted that the reclassified statements included in this Directors' Report on Operations show a number of differences from the official statements shown in the accounting tables set out in the following pages and in the notes with regard to the terminology and the level of detail.

Specifically, the reclassified consolidated Income Statement makes use of the following terms:

  • EBITDA, which is equivalent to "Total revenues" net of total operating costs in the official consoli- dated Income Statement;
  • EBIT, which is equivalent to "Total revenues" net of total operating costs, depreciation, amortisation and impairment in the official consolidated Income Statement.

The reclassified consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared based on the items recognised as assets or liabilities in the official consolidated Balance Sheet and makes use of the following terms:

  • FIXED ASSETS, given by the sum of tangible and intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets/li- abilities and other non-current assets;
    NET WORKING CAPITAL, given by the sum of inventories, trade receivables/payables, current provi- sions, tax receivables/payables and other assets/liabilities and current receivables/payables;
  • CAPITAL EMPLOYED, given by the algebraic sum of fixed assets, net working capital and post-em- ployment benefits and other non-current liabilities.

These APMs, in line with the data presented in the consolidated Income Statement and Balance Sheet in accordance with the recommendations outlined above, were deemed to be significant as they represent parameters that succinctly and clearly depict the Company's financial position and economic performance, also by providing comparative data. The APMs adopted are consistent with those used in the previous year.

Directors' report on operations for the year 2023

Dear Shareholders,

The year 2023 confirms the significant growth of the Group thanks also to the consolidation of recent acquisitions.

On 26 January 2023, the share capital increase in LAS LAB S.r.l. (LasLab) was subscribed, by virtue of which TXT holds a minority stake representing 33.0% of the share capital of the innovative start- up.

LasLab was founded in 2022 as an innovative start-up following the spin-off of the CAL LAS technological platform developed by Loan Agency Services S.r.l. (LAS Srl), a leading non-banking operator in the financial restructuring operations agency and in the support for the management of problem loans (in particular UTPs). LAS S.r.l. is the majority shareholder of LasLab.

The CAL LAS application, the main and strategic asset of LasLab, consists of software for the advanced monitoring of loans, corporate bonds and other financial instruments, particularly effective for the management of complex and problematic loans, which has evolved over the years with increasingly broader and transversal functionalities, benefiting multiple credit sectors.

In evaluating the investment, TXT has identified several strategic aspects such as the significant technological contribution that TXT will make in the project to develop the proprietary software platform thanks to its proven long-term skills in the credit market developed by the companies of the TXT Novigo group, and the excellent multi-year forecasts on the problematic loan market (Stage2 and UTP) which already, starting from 2022, for the first time since 2019, recorded increasing volumes.

The investment contract in LasLab does not provide for any options to increase TXT's current shareholding of 33.0% but is aimed at providing specialised technological expertise for the credit reference market and maximising the return on investment against an exit-strategy that includes monetising the investment over a five-year period.

On 13 April 2023, the share capital increase in Simplex Human Tech S.r.l. (Simplex) was subscribed, by virtue of which TXT holds a minority stake in Simplex representing 15.0% of the share capital. Simplex was established as a start-up as a result of the intuition of former managers from the banking and insurance sector with experience in senior roles in major national groups for the purpose of bringing digital innovation to the insurance sector, with a main focus on the Protection and Insurance Wealth Management sectors, through the implementation of a technology platform enabling the optimisation and total control of sales processes and the consequent drastic reduction of transactional costs.

The Simplex technological platform, which will be developed, maintained and upgraded by the TXT Group by leveraging the long-standing specialised and innovative skills of TXT Novigo, will consist of an integrated end-to-end platform which will be made available to the distribution networks,

both direct and indirect, allowing the marketing of selected insurance products through the relationship with partner companies and the creation of a management and commercial model that complies with current regulations and is fully integrated with partner companies, with the possibility of expanding into national and international reference markets.

For the creation, maintenance and upgrade of the Simplex technological platform, TXT Novigo signed a contract with the start-up for the supply of services and software licenses for a total value of more than € 2 million for the next five years, excluding future extensions.

In assessing the investment, in addition to the return from the licenses of the platform provided to Simplex and its possible evolutions, TXT has identified several strategic aspects, such as the entry into the Insurtech market and the opportunity to play a primary role in the digitisation of the Protection and Insurance Wealth Management sectors.

On 1 July 2023, the merger between the companies of the Ennova Group, Smarteasy S.r.l. and En- nova Next S.r.l., became effective.

On 1 July 2023, the merger by incorporation between the two investee companies Mac Solutions SA and TXT e-Solutions Sagl, both wholly owned by the Parent Company TXT e-Solutions S.p.A., became effective. Therefore, through this transaction, the company TXT e-Solutions Sagl was merged into Mac Solutions SA, which also changed its company name to TXT e-Swiss SA.

On 1 July 2023, the reverse merger between QBRIDGE and PGMD Consulting S.r.l. became effective. Therefore, starting from that date, PGMD Consulting S.r.l. is wholly owned by TXT e-Solutions S.p.A.

On 11 July 2023, an agreement was signed for the acquisition of assets ("Asset Purchase Agreement" or "APA") belonging to the Embedded Graphics business of the companies Presagis Canada Inc., Presagis Europe S.A.S. and Presagis USA Inc. All these companies are subsidiaries of CAE Inc. ("CAE"), one of the largest Canadian companies, leader in the Aerospace & Defence sector.

The object of the investment is the activity relating to the Embedded Graphics business of Presagis, which consists of a portfolio of software solutions and services designed for onboard systems in the Aerospace & Defence market. Over the years, the EG business has established itself as a world- leading solution of tools and services for the development of human-machine interfaces (HMI) for safety-critical and mission-critical systems. The main family of products offered by the EG business is represented by VAPS XT, modular software launched on the market in 2011 and evolved over the years through continuous development and close collaboration with leading manufacturers of aircraft and avionics systems.

Today, the VAPS XT product line offers HMI designers, avionics system designers, embedded software engineers and certification specialists maximum control and flexibility for the creation of real- time interactive graphic displays for avionics with the highest certification, safety and cybersecu- rity standards. With an open architecture and integrated logic capabilities, VAPS XT provides the essential functionality for the design and implementation of certifiable avionics displays in a
