Livorno, 26 September 2023 - The Board of Directors of ErreDue (EGM: RDUE), a company active in the design and production of highly innovative and customized solutions for the on-site production, mixing and purification of technical gases (hydrogen produced through electrolysis of water, nitrogen, oxygen), held today, examined and approved the half-yearly financial report as of 30 June 2023, subjected to a limited audit.

Enrico D'Angelo, Founder and CEO of ErreDue, commented: "The results achieved to date are in line with our forecasts and confirm the farsightedness of our business model. We are very satisfied to highlight a revenue growth of 44% and a triple digit increase in profit, compared to the same period of 2022. The company's organic growth is entirely attributable to the increase in volumes of the traditional market, supported by visibility at following the listing. The market segment relating to the energy transition is still struggling to take off but, despite the institutions' delay, ErreDue was able to achieve the objectives set in the forecast budget. These data portray a healthy and highly capitalized company that managed to amortize the effects of a complex geo-political and macroeconomic situation in one year. We intend to continue along this line of development by confirming our investment plan which will focus on internal growth, on the construction of large plants, machinery and equipment, as well as on-site generators for green hydrogen to support the energy transition. In this regard, we have chosen to actively participate, as a partner, in the H2 Era Green Valley project, the first European industrial circular economy project, with zero impact and waste, which will be built in Tuscany on a disused surface area of over 120,000 square meters and from 2022 to the construction of the Hydrogen Valley of La Roda

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL DATA AS OF JUNE 30, 2023

Revenues from Sales and Services stood at €7.9 million, with a significant growth of 44.4% compared to €5.4 million achieved at 30 June 2022. This result is due to the increase in all categories of revenues and highlights a significant increase in sales volumes of hydrogen and nitrogen generators, as well as laboratory and PEM generators, which is particularly significant on foreign markets. The excellent economic results were obtained despite the continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, countries in which, until the start of the war, ErreDue had developed significant revenues. It should be noted that revenues from sales and services do not include: i) internal construction relating to generators intended for rental; ii) the change in inventories of products in progress, semi-finished and finished products; and iii) the operating contributions and the contributions relating to the tax credit.

Below is a breakdown of revenues by activity category and product type.

Value of Production is equal to €9.1 million (€6.0 million at 30 June 2022), an increase of 50.7%, and includes, in addition to revenues, increases in fixed assets for internal work, the change in inventories of products in progress, semi-finished and finished products and other revenues and income.

Among the cost items, we highlight a 34.4% increase in personnel costs, equal to €2 million (€1.5 million at 30 June 2022), driven by new hires for the benefit of the production departments (approximately + 20 units).

EBITDA amounted to €2.8 million (€1.6 million at 30 June 2022) with a significant growth of 69.2%. The EBITDA Margin stands at 35.9% against 30.7% in the first half of 2022.

Depreciation, equal to €842 thousand (€667 thousand at 30 June 2022) increased mainly due to the capitalized listing costs. It should be noted that, in light of these costs, on 25 May 2023 the company obtained confirmation of the so-

called from the MISE. "Listing Bonus" provided for in the art. 1, paragraphs 89-92, of law 27 December 2017, n. 205 and subsequent amendments, for €500,000, to be used in the form of a tax credit in the current financial year.

EBIT amounted to €1.9 million (€0.9 million at 30 June 2022), recording an increase of 104.8%.

Net Profit is positive at €1.5 million, up 126.9% (€0.7 million at 30 June 2022).

The total Backlog as at 31 August 2023 is € 10.5 million.

The amount of fixed assets, equal to €11.3 million, grew by 35.3% compared to €8.3 million at 31 December 2022. In particular, investments in tangible fixed assets are attributable to the purchase of an industrial factory of large dimensions to be renovated and expanded, to new systems and machinery built internally and intended for rental to customers and to technical equipment. Intangible assets, however, are reduced due to the amortization of the aforementioned capitalization of IPO costs, amortized over 5 years.

Net Working Capital amounted to €3.8 million (€2.6 million at 31 December 2022), an increase of 45.5%. The trend is mainly attributable to the growth in inventories, raw materials and finished products, necessary to deal with the important orders in progress.

Net Financial Position shows a positive cash position of €14.9 million compared to a positive cash position of €17.4 million at 31 December 2022. This reduction was mainly determined by the absorption of greater financial resources linked to the purchase of the new industrial area on where the 'Giga Factory' will be built, as well as the growth of warehouse stocks needed to support the increase in production.

Shareholders' equity is equal to €29.1 million (€27.5 million at 31 December 2022).

MAIN SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED DURING AND AFTER THE FIRST HALF OF 2023

On 18 January 2023, the Mayor of Livorno Luca Salvetti and the Councilor for Labor with responsibility for Economic Development Gianfranco Simoncini visited the Company at the headquarters in Via Gozzano, n.3. During the meeting, issues relating to the objectives and strategies for the near future were explored in depth, with a focus, in particular, on the construction of the 'Giga Factory' - which will be built on 16,000 square meters in the disused industrial area in the Picchianti area -, on internationalization process to export the Company's know-how abroad and on the partnership being developed with different universities and research institutes.

On 3 February 2023, the Company announced that it had signed, with one of the most important companies in the metallurgy sector, a contract worth approximately € 900 thousand for the construction of a 750 m3/h hyperpure nitrogen plant.

On 9 May 2023, the Company announced that the international consortium of which it is a partner - established on 28 February 2022, as communicated during the IPO phase, by excellent European companies such as the Spanish Instaltic S.L. and General de Engineering Inhiset S.A and the French Hydrogen de France - continued within the times indicated during the establishment phase in the activities and related progress steps of the project for the construction of the Hydrogen Valley in the Spanish region of La Roda. The main objective of the project is the creation of a real Hydrogen

Valley, a district in which the economy depends on the energy produced by green hydrogen and no longer on oil and natural gas.

On 13 June 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the purchase of the new headquarters which will be built on the site located in Livorno, via dell'Artigianato, n. 64, a 'Giga Factory' in which part of the ErreDue production line will be relocated. The purchase operation is part of the national and international growth strategy, already declared by the company during the IPO phase, which aims to move from the current capacity of 8 MW to a capacity of at least 60 MW per year to meet the needs of the markets power-to-gas, sustainable fuel cell mobility and synthetic fuel.

On 22 June 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the delivery of an alkaline electrolysis plant with a capacity of 0.5 MW to the Logan Energy group - active in the United Kingdom and a leader in hydrogen technology with a proven track record in project delivery turnkey in low carbon sectors, through the use of renewable energy and hydrogen.

On 19 September 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Rolando Robustelli as Chief Financial Officer, effective 18/12/2023. In his role, Mr. Robustelli will have the task of strengthening ErreDue's financial strategy, coordinating the management of the planning and business development processes for the economic-financial aspects.

FORESEEABLE EVOLUTION OF OPERATIONS

The company has orders in its portfolio for € 10.5 million deriving from € 9.7 million for sales of machines and generators to be rented and for € 0.8 million relating to leases already contracted to be invoiced during the year. These volumes of revenues guarantee the best performance of the activity for the continuation of the current and for a good part of the following year, in which revenues from rental contracts for € 2.2 million, from assistance and after market contracts for approximately €4 million. For 2024 we estimate that we already have revenues of approximately €9 million in our portfolio.

The available resources guarantee adequate financial and capital coverage for the planned investments. The war in Ukraine will continue to weigh on future economic results, resulting in a significant slowdown in activities in those areas. The company is still awaiting the developments of the PNRR in the hydrogen sector as the main market for large generators. Even in the absence of the increases expected by the PNRR, with traditional activities alone, we expect to achieve the budget objectives in the second half of 2023.

Regardless of the above, all development plans for the construction of hydrogen production plants (from megawatts and beyond) are confirmed, which will allow the company to meet the needs of power-to-gas, sustainable fuel cell mobility, synthetic fuel and hard to abate.
