It is active in the processing and marketing of blocks and slabs of Carrara marble, natural stone expression of "Made in Italy" and luxury, thanks to its special features and unique characteristics nationally and internationally.

Historically, the company was focused only on the marketing and processing of marble blocks and slabs mainly in the local area. Later on, it managed to pursue a policy of growth by expanding its activity on national and international markets, thanks to a constant professional commitment over the years, thus becoming one of the most important sector operators.

The company's products include marble blocks and slabs, different in colour and structure. The Company benefits from constant sources of supply, being able to rely on supply relationships consolidated over time with companies active in the extraction sector and thus being able to access the raw material extracted from quarries located in the Apuan-Versilian district. These relationships are also strengthened by the direct holding in some owning companies and/or quarry sites dealer and in mining companies in which stake is held directly or indirectly by controlling shareholders of the Company itself. The Company obtains its supplies from the largest and most productive quarries in the Apuan stone district, from which different kind of materials are extracted, considered to be among the most valuable in the area.

The diversification of supply sources allows the company to have access to the whole range of materials, thus permitting a careful selection of materials and the supply of a considerable quantity of constant quality material. The Company stands out for the care and the particular attention paid in the selection of materials by operating a constant control on the product quality through a rigorous monitoring every step of the working process, from the supply of raw materials to the marketing of blocks and slabs. As a matter of fact, the Company mainly works with valuable materials, as it uses Carrara marble.

The management believes that the high professional skills of the Company's workforce guarantees an excellent level in quality, also enhancing a rapid response to the customers' needs.

The activity of the Company is mainly held in a 60,000 square meters headquarters, where five modern sheds used as materials showrooms are located, and a building in which administrative offices are placed. In the historic headquarters of the Company, located in Via Canalie 10 in Carrara, the sawing of marble blocks mainly takes place.

Around the Company's headquarters three different buildings and a pavilion have been created. The formers are dedicated to the display of stone materials, the latter was built as a meeting room and a showroom for marble items, used both as exhibition space for pieces of furniture and design items, and as think tank for designers and open space for events.

HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT JUNE 30 2023

The analysis of the Company's situation, its performance and its results are examined in the next paragraphs, dedicated to the market context, the products offered, the investments made and the main economic and financial indicators. The interim condensed financial statements as at June 30, 2023 (hereinafter the "Interim Condensed Financial Statements as at June 30, 2023") were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

Half-yearly report

The business results achieved in the first half of 2023 confirm the good performance of the business, although slightly down compared to the revenues achieved in the same period of 2022 that were supported by significantly high orders attributable to the recovery recorded in the post-pandemic markets and the consequent need to replenish stocks by distributors. Also in 2023, revenues for the first half of the year confirm a period of sustained growth recorded from 2018 to today.

The result achieved in the Middle East is particularly important and the area represents the third destination in order of importance for revenues and will certainly constitute a market of strategic interest for our Company in the future in view of the important projects that will be developed in the area and which have been announced by the main market players.

The Interim Condensed Financial Statements as at June 30, 2023 closes with a profit for the period of Euro 8,108 thousand (Euro 9,278 thousand in the first half of 2022). Compared to the previous period, the revenues achieved through stone material trading and processing decreased by Euro 3,884 thousand, equal to a decrease of approximately 9.4%. The decrease is essentially attributable to what was stated above together with the fact that, in the previous period, some shipments linked to important projects in the Middle East, Italy and China had been concentrated.

EBITDA at June 30, 2023 was equal to Euro 13,233 thousand, and it decreased compared to the first half year of 2022 (Euro 16,529 thousand). This difference is essentially attributable to the lower business volume achieved compared to the previous year and to the slight worsening in the mix of products sold, in which the most valuable materials Calacatta and Statuario represented about 50.7% of the slabs and blocks sold in 2023, compared to 58.3% in the previous period. It should be noted that during the first half of 2023, the Company incurred costs equal to Euro 115 thousand relating to the acquisition of the shares of the company Marmoles Man S.r.l. finalized in July 2023, whereas during the first half of 2022 it had incurred costs amounting to Euro 127 thousand relating to the proposed translisting operation on Euronext Milan, whose timing are still subject to evaluation.
