At the same time, debt was reduced by more than 106 million euro compared to the first half of 2020. Though the Covid-19 pandemic still represents a risk, making it necessary to continue monitoring each line of business and its market very carefully, the Group has everything it needs to further consolidate this positive trend.

Mantua, 02 September 2021 - At a meeting today chaired by Roberto Colaninno, the Board of Directors of Immsi S.p.A. (IMS.MI) examined and approved the interim report on operations as at and for the six months to 30 June 2021.

Immsi Group financial and business performance at 30 June 2021

Consolidated net sales at 30 June 2021 amounted to 920.7 million euro, the best result registered in the first half of the year since 2008, up 46.2% over the figure of 629.9 million euro registered in the first half of 2020.

Immsi Group consolidated EBITDA was 140.6 million euro, the highest value reported by the Group for the first half of the year since 2007, up by a strong 68.1% from 83.6 million euro in the first half of 2020. The EBITDA margin was 15.3% (13.3% in the first half of 2020).

Consolidated EBIT was 74.1 million euro, more than threefold the figure of 23 million euro for the first half of 2020. EBIT margin was 8% (3.7% in the first half of 2020).

1

Profit before tax was 55.6 million euro (5.2 million euro in the first half of 2020), subject to tax totalling 24.4 million euro.

Net profit was 31.2 million euro (0.9 million euro at 30 June 2020), including minority interests (16.6 million euro at 30 June 2021 and -0.6million euro at 30 June 2020).

Immsi Group net financial debt at 30 June 2021 was 792.3 million euro, an improvement of

106.4 million euro from 898.8 million euro at 30 June 2020, when there was a block on sales in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The improvement was secured by prudent management of working capital and by operating cash flow from the Group's positive business performance (particularly in relation to the Piaggio Group), which also made it possible to absorb a greater capital expenditure requirement. At 31 December 2020, the Group had net financial debt of 802.9 million euro. Group business, especially in the two-wheeler segment, is subject to seasonal trends, absorbing resources in the first half of the year and generating resources in the second half.

In 2021, Immsi Group capital expenditure amounted to 73.9 million euro, up 35.6% from 54.5 million euro in the first half of 2020.

Significant events in and after the first half of 2021

Supplementing the information published above or at the time of approval of the 2021 first- quarter results (directors' meeting of 14 May 2021), this section illustrates key events in and after the first half of 2021.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Moto Guzzi on 20 May, the President of the Republic of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, was presented with two new "Moto Guzzi V85TT" vehicles for the Corazzieri Regiment at the Palazzo del Quirinale.

On 24 May the Piaggio Group unveiled the new "Piaggio1" generation of electric scooters, subsequently displayed at the Beijing show, combining all the latest trends in urban and metropolitan mobility.

On 22 July Immsi S.p.A. announced that Pietra S.r.l. (77.78% owned by Immsi and 22.22% by Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.) had signed an preliminary agreement with Polifin S.p.A. (a holding company owned by the Bosatelli family) for sale of all its shares in Pietra Ligure S.r.l. for a total of 30 million euro.

On 29 July 2021 Immsi S.p.A. signed an agreement with Mediocredito Centrale for a 20 million euro loan to be paid in instalments amortised quarterly, with a final repayment deadline of July 2026.

On 5 August Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), a robotics company in the Piaggio Group based in Boston which is a leader in following technology, announced development of its new sensor technology for implementation on domestic and industrial robots as well as scooters and motorcycles. The first security platform based on Imaging Radar 4D technology for scooters and motorcycles was developed by PFF with Vayyar Imaging, supplier of Radar-on-Chip technology.

Outlook

Although the complexity of providing guidance remains, given the uncertainty over the evolution of the pandemic in the coming months of 2021, and a number of additional critical areas have emerged such as a widespread increase in raw materials costs and difficulties in the logistics of transportation, particularly in the Far East, the Immsi Group will continue to work to meet its commitments and targets, maintaining all the necessary measures to ensure a flexible and immediate response to any difficult and unexpected situations that might arise, thanks to careful and efficient business and financial management.

In the Industrial Sector, the Piaggio Group will continue with completion of the launch of 11 two-wheeled models planned for 2021, and everything necessary for the more significant investments announced at the start of the year, such as the new E-mobility department, the new plant in Indonesia and complete renovation of the Moto Guzzi production site and museum.

In the Naval Sector, despite continuing uncertainty, advances in production work on contracts will continue as well as commercial operations in all the company's areas of business. Intermarine is also involved in a number of negotiations, in the Defence sector in particular, to win new orders that would enable it to expand its order book and consequently guarantee conditions allowing it to optimise its production capacity over the coming years. The company will also pursue every opportunity to contain direct and indirect costs.

3

In the Real Estate and Tourism-HospitalitySector a gradual return to normality is expected, and the Is Molas S.p.A. subsidiary is therefore moving ahead with commercial operations to identify possible domestic and international buyers.

The manager in charge of preparing the company accounts and documents, Andrea Paroli, certifies, pursuant to paragraph 2 of art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation, that the accounting disclosures in this statement correspond to the accounting documents, ledgers and entries.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements relating to future events and Immsi Group business and financial results. By their nature, these statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties since they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur or exist in the future. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such statements as a result of a variety of factors.

This press release contains a number of indicators that, though not yet contemplated by the IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"), are based on financial measures envisaged by the IFRS. These indicators - presented in order to assist assessment of the Group's business performance - should not be considered as alternatives to those envisaged by the IFRS and are consistent with those in the Immsi Group 2020 Annual Report and quarterly and half-year reports. Furthermore, since determination of such indicators is not specifically regulated by the IFRS, the methods used may not coincide with those adopted by other companies/groups, and consequently the indicators in question may not be comparable. Specifically, the following alternative performance indicators are used:

  • EBITDA: earnings before amortisation and depreciation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and rights of use, as reflected in the income statement;
  • Net financial debt: this reflects financial liabilities (current and non-current) including liabilities for rights of use, less cash and cash equivalents, and other financial receivables (current and non-current). Determination of net financial debt does not include other financial assets and liabilities arising from measurement at fair value, derivatives designated or not as hedges, fair value adjustments of the related hedged items, related accruals, interest accrued on loans and financial liabilities relating to discontinued operations. The schedules in the Immsi Group Interim Report on Operations to 30 June 2021 include a table illustrating the composition of net financial debt prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ESMA 2021 / 32-382-1138 Guidelines, highlighting the items contributing to determination of this indicator. In this regard, note that the indicator, as determined by the Group, differs from the ESMA Guidelines referred to above in that it also includes the non-current portion of financial receivables, where applicable.

In drawing up the Interim Report on Operations as at and for the six months to 30 June 2021, the Immsi Group applied the same accounting policies as those used to draw up the Report on Operations and Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Immsi S.p.A. said that the Interim Report on Operations as at and for the six months to 30 June 2021 will be available to the public at the company's registered office, in the "eMarket STORAGE" authorised storage mechanism at www.emarketstorage.comand on the issuer's website www.immsi.it(section "Investors/Financial Reports/2021") as required by law.

The Immsi Group reclassified consolidated income statement, reclassified consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cash flows are set out below. In compliance with the Instructions to the Regulation for Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. section IA.2.6, the reclassified schedules are not subject to auditing by the independent auditors.
