Ravenna, 29 May 2024 - The Shareholders' Meeting of Itway S.p.A. - Parent Company, operating group active in the IT, Cyber Security, AI and Big Data sector, listed on the Euronext Milan market -- which met today under the chairmanship of G.

1) Approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 and allocation of the result for the year

Itway's Shareholders' Meeting approved the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In the 2023 financial year, the Group's revenues increased (Y/Y) by more than 5%. And, even more positively, revenues from Products and Services increased by approximately 10%, while EBITDA amounted to 1,691 thousand Euros (2,195 thousand Euros in 2022) and Operating Profit (EBIT) went from 1,546 thousand Euros to -562 thousand Euros. The net result for the year, on the other hand, is substantially in line with last year, going from -348 thousand Euros to -330 thousand Euros.

EBIT and pre-tax profit are affected by 1,500 thousand euros, in an extraordinary way, by the write-down of work in progress carried out about a decade ago for the Italian Ministry of the Interior, present in recent years among trade receivables and prudentially made necessary following the 2nd instance judgment of the Court of Appeal of Rome of 8 January 2024 which rejected the appeal filed by Itway; the company is evaluating the appeal to the Supreme Court with its consultants.

EBITDA was affected by the increase in costs, which was mainly linked to the significant investments in progress, and, in particular, was linked to the increase in personnel costs by 40% (+1,374 thousand Euros) and employees. The number of employees increased from 67 units (31 December 2022) to 89 units (31 December 2023) and is related to the inclusion in the Group of qualified personnel with high specialization and professionalism, with an increase of 22 units including executives (4), senior account managers, junior account managers, project managers, developers, service desks, cybersecurity consultants, systems engineers and back office, as provided for in the Company's investment plans.
