CEO'S letter to the stakeholders

To the Shareholders and Stakeholders of Webuild Group

2021 has been another unusual year, characterised by the extraordinary nature of previously unimaginable events as well as the continuation of the pandemic. We have responded to this situation with unswerving commitment and a spirit of service, reaching our targets and objectives, true to our industrial vision shaped so many years ago.

Today, we are a growing, strong cohesive group, thanks in part to the integration of companies with unique skill sets such as Astaldi and Seli Overseas, which bring their valuable experience to our group.

We have consolidated our footprint in Italy and will continue to do so, availing of the new investments under the long-awaited Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan, without obviously curtailing our commitments in similarly strategic and low-risk areas such as the United States, Australia and Northern Europe. I refer to the large projects we are carrying out at home, such as the Brenner Base Tunnel, the Giovi Third Railway Crossing and the Genoa Railway Junction and also to our front line involvement in the bringing of high speed railway connections to Southern Italy, with the lines that connect Naples to Bari and Palermo to Catania. I also refer to our foreign projects which include some of the largest and most iconic works in the world as well as new awards like the North East Link in Melbourne and the Sotra Connection in Norway.

Despite the international complexities, we ended the year with a record-breaking number of quality new orders worth €11.3 billion, bringing our order portfolio to €45.4 billion at year end. I would also like to note that 92% of our projects are linked to advancement towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our aim is to acquire new quality projects in line with our de-risking strategy: 75% of the Group's total order backlog is based in low-risk countries like Italy, Central and Northern Italy, the US and Australia.

We continue to invest in innovation, in the knowledge that being innovative gives us a competitive edge on the global stage. This included our launch of "Connected Webuild", a multi-year digital transformation programme that incorporates the main new technologies (robotics, Artificial Intelligence, digital twins, etc.) into our processes.

Thanks to our resilience and the expertise of our people, we have improved our operating results in 2021 and returned to a net financial position of €467 million, the best result since 2014 despite the global situation. This proves that we are on track with our vision that we first introduced more than ten years ago, consolidating our long-term position.

I am proud to be able to say that the entire Group, and by that I mean every single department, is increasingly invested in advancement towards the sustainable development objectives set in our 2021-2023 ESG plan. We know that sustainability is increasingly viewed by the market as a key competitive factor and we have consciously focused on three strategic areas - Green, Safety & Inclusion and Innovation. Our aim is to
