The Company's core revenuesamount to € 136.0 million for the semester ended 30 June 2023, an increase of 12.2% over € 121.2 million in the first semester 2022. Revenues attributable to RAI rise to € 114.9 million, while revenues from third-party customers amount to € 21.1 million posting a 26.8% increase.

Adjusted EBITDAamounts to € 90.8 million, up 16.1% over € 78.2 million in the first half 2022, as a result of higher revenues and a cost increase that, net of non-core factors, remains moderate also thanks to lower energy consumption and the first (as only limited to the second quarter, having 2022 benefited until March from the fixed-price supply contract) effects of the drop in electricity tariffs. The margin on revenues reached 66.8% (64.5% in the first half 2022). Considering the impact of non-recurring expenses (€ 3.6 million in the first half 2023 while absent in the first half 2022), EBITDAamounts to € 87.2 million, representing an increase of 11,5% over € 78.2 million of the first half 2022.
