All indicators are positive for the period. In the first half of 2021, consolidated EBITDA of EUR119.5 million compared 
to the EUR90.2 million recorded in 2020 and corresponds to 16.8% of turnover. 
EBIT, from January to June, was EUR96.0 million (EUR74.1 million in 2020), corresponding to 13.5% of turnover. 
Pre-tax profit, from January to June 2021, was EUR98.7 million (EUR75.1 million in 2020), corresponding to 13.8% of 
turnover. 
As regards the second quarter 2021, the Group's performance was also positive, with consolidated turnover for the 
period of EUR360.4 million, up by 20.9% compared to 2020. 
EBITDA, from April to June 2021, amounted to EUR59.9 million, with EBIT of EUR48.0 million and pre-tax profit of 
EUR51.1 million. 
As at 30 June 2021, the Group's net financial position was positive for EUR165.4 million, while at 31 March 2021 was 
positive for EUR227.9 million. The financial position at 30 June 2020 was positive for EUR122.6 million. 
"The first half of 2021 was very positive, both in terms of revenue and margins," said Mario Rizzante, Chairman of 
Reply. "In recent months we have seen a strong growth in investments by companies in two main areas of innovation: 
cloud and artificial intelligence." 
"In particular, the revolution linked to the introduction of artificial intelligence is at the beginning of a growth 
path that promises to be explosive," added Mario Rizzante. "Just as fifteen years ago, the advent of mobile apps 
generated a market that keeps doubling every three years, today we are starting to automate everything, adding 
intelligence to every object and every service. In a few years, we will have artificial intelligence for everything, 
just as we now have a mobile app for every need." 
"In this context, Reply has already started to invest and work on the most cutting-edge frontier, the one relating to 
the confluence of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and the cloud, which can be expressed by the paradigm 
of the Authonomy of Things: objects and services designed to interact with all intelligent entities, using data and 
artificial intelligence autonomously." concluded Mario Rizzante. 
The manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports, Dr Giuseppe Veneziano, states in accordance with 
Paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, that the accounting information contained in this press 
release corresponds to the company's records, ledgers and accounting entries.
