COVID 19 PANDEMIC IMPACTS

The impacts of the spread of Covid-19, still present in the economy and consequently in the labour market, even though less evident than in the previous months, in the first half of the year did not negatively affect the results that the Openjobmetis Group achieved in the year. In fact, the Group recorded revenues higher than those before the pandemic, recording the best first half (+ 35.7% compared to the first half of 2020 and + 15.4% compared to the first half of 2019) and the best second quarter ever (+ 67.7% compared to Q2 2020 and + 21.3% compared to Q2 2019).

As at 30 June 2021, Openjobmetis benefited from the contract worker salary top-up scheme (Trattamento di Integrazione Salariale - TIS) for €1,730 thousand (compared to €16,117 thousand as at 30 June 2020). This amount is reimbursed by Forma.Temp and is recognised in the income statement for the period as a direct reduction in employment costs. The total residual credit for TIS as at 30 June 2021 is equal to EUR 4,906 thousand (including Quanta for EUR 221 thousand).

As in the recent past, there are no particular situations of solvency risk for customers of the Openjobmetis Group compared to the pre-Covid period. This is demonstrated by the average collection times (DSO) which as at 30 June 2021, net of the effects deriving from the consolidation of Quanta, are at 73 days, compared to 76 days as at 31 December 2020 and 74 days as at 31 December 2019. In addition, financial indebtedness, net of the effects of the acquisition (about EUR 20 million) and consolidation of Quanta (about 19 million), was also down as at 30 June 2021 (approximately EUR 4 million compared to EUR 17.4 million as at 31 December 2020).

Openjobmetis S.p.A. operated regularly during the year, continuing to guarantee normal support to the businesses that use it. The Company Protocol of the measures adopted to combat and contain the spread of the Coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, adopted by the Company from the early stages of the spread of the virus, has been progressively refined and adjusted to the regulations in force in the various phases of the pandemic. To protect the health of its employees, the Company has maintained an active Agile Work plan for all those activities that can be carried out from the worker's home, compatibly with business needs and in compliance with the duties and activities, also based on the size of the work environments.

OUTLOOK

After a good start to the year, the Openjobmetis Group also achieved positive results in the second quarter, the best ever in terms of turnover (EUR 166.8 million), net of the impact of the Quanta transaction.

The Company's results were supported by an initial economic recovery from the Covid crisis, however if on the one hand the vaccination plan is progressing, with about 60%2 of the Italian population covered, on the other "the pandemic continues to cast a shadow over the prospects of economic recovery. Especially the Delta variant of the virus is a big source of uncertainty", as stated by the Chairman of the ECB Christine Lagarde in July. Without prejudice to these considerations, one can think of a positive continuation of 2021, as Openjobmetis has demonstrated a strong resilience and good ability to adapt to changed external conditions in the recent past.
