Somma Vesuviana (NA), 26 September 2023 - Sves Biosana S.p.A. (the "Company" or "SVAS"), a leading operator in the healthcare sector, active in the production and distribution of medical devices for public and private healthcare facilities, listed on Euronext Growth Milan, announces that the Board of Directors, which met today, approved the short-formconsolidated half-yearlyfinancial statements as at 30 June 2023, subject to voluntary limited audit.
Umberto Perillo, CEO of Svas Biosana, has commented thus: "The figures reward our investment strategy aimed at strengthening our presence in Italy and abroad, also thanks to our latest acquisition 'Bormia d.o.o.', which contributed to our very positive results. Our efforts are all projected into the future, and with this in mind we will be building a new factory in Somma Vesuviana over the next two years, entirely dedicated to incontinence aids. The medical device market is continuing to expand strongly. We are very confident that the positive trend will continue and we believe that this will lead to further growth in both sales and expected margins.
ANALYSIS OF KEY ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL DATA
Despite the general economic environment affected by the general increase in prices and the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the Svas Biosana group achieved strong growth across all performance indicators compared to the previous period. During the first six months of 2023, there was a slight reduction in the purchase cost of the main raw materials and semi-finished goods, while the cost of energy services decreased significantly. This had an impact on the cost structure of the group's manufacturing activities, while it had a marginal effect on medical device marketing. The group's strategy is currently geared towards increasing customer prices and focusing more on value-added devices.
Revenues from operations as at 30 June 2023 amounted to Euro 55 million, an increase of +25.3% compared to Euro 43.8 million as at 30 June 2022.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR
It should be noted that on 15 September 2022, the Aiuti-bis Decree (Decree Law 115/2022) issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy and Finance was published in the Official Journal, certifying that the expenditure ceiling for medical devices, set at 4.4% of the National Health Fund, had been exceeded for the years 2015 to 2018. The Decree establishes that half of this overrun is to be covered by economic operators in the industry ('Medical Device Payback').
With subsequent measures, the Italian Government provided for several extensions for the payment of the required amounts, granting the possibility to pay by 30 October 2023 at a reduced rate, equal to 48% of the amount indicated in the regional and autonomous province of Trento and Bolzano measures, waiving any litigation arisen during the period.
It should be noted, however, that this risk is not of a significant amount for the group.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER 30 JUNE 2023
In July 2023, the group completed the issuance of two non-convertible, unsubordinated bonds for a total amount of Euro 13 million, pursuant to Art. 2410 of the Civil Code, which are designed to support our investment plan.
Specifically, the Euro 13 million transaction involved the issuance of two bonds: one issued by the parent company Svas Biosana in the amount of Euro 10 million; the other issued by Mark Medical in the amount of Euro 3 million, both maturing on 31 December 2029, totally unsecured.
Both loans will be subject to compliance with financial covenants according to market practice for similar bonds.
The bonds are not listed on regulated markets or admitted to trading on a multilateral trading facility and are not subject to the obligation to publish a prospectus, pursuant to and for the purposes of Art. 1(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.
The transaction is aimed at supporting the Svas Biosana group's further growth. In particular, the bond issued by the parent company is intended, among other things, for the construction of a new production plant in Somma Vesuviana (NA) and the development of several production lines for the production of incontinence aids, which already exist in the current Naples plant, while the bond issued by the subsidiary Mark Medical will support the strengthening of the group's commercial presence in Eastern Europe.
OUTLOOK
The macroeconomic outlook for the economic activity and inflation has become very uncertain and depends crucially on the evolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In the most recent period, signs of slowing inflation and the receding financial turmoil have prompted the major central banks to continue raising interest rates, albeit at a more moderate pace.
These elements represent a drag on the world economy, which is expected to decelerate this year before showing more dynamism in 2024.
