Collegno (TO), January 19, 2022 - Prima Industrie S.p.A, in view of the meetings with investors organized by Mediobanca within the "Italian Mid Cap Conference" on January 19-20, 2022, announces that the order acquisition for the fourth quarter of year 2021 amounted to 158 million euro, so bringing the order collection of the full year 2021 to a record level of 503 million euro (up 56% compared to 2020 and up 23% compared to 2019) . The increase was equal to 75% for the orders of new machines and to 15% for after-sales activities.

In particular, from the order collection geographic breakdown in the last months of 2021, a significant recovery in Italy emerged (approximately +150% of orders for new machines), where demand was also supported by tax incentives allowing the gradual replacement of obsolete machinery as well as the process of factories digitization.

In Europe, in general, the increase in orders for new machines was approximately 100%, while in the AMERICAS and APAC areas was equal to 50%.

The increase was mainly driven by the sheet metal and automotive sectors while the aerospace sector only showed the first signs of recovery in the last part of the year.

The preliminary turnover for 2021 financial year amounts to approximately 406 million euro, up by 22% compared to 333 million euro at 31/12/2020.

In light of the excellent order collection, the year 2022 opens with a significant backlog (not including after sales services), equal to 215 million euro (+72.5% compared to 1/1/2021), which allows the Group to start with confidence the year just begun and to confirm the targets set within the industrial plan for 2023.
