Key results for the nine months 2022

As of 30 September 2022, Company's core revenuesamount to € 184.4 million, an increase of 7.4% over € 171.8 million for the nine months 2021 also due to indexation to inflation. Revenues from RAI, equal to € 158.8 million, also reflect the increase driven by refarming activities (effective from the second half of 2021), as well as a one-off benefit of € 2.0 million. Revenues from third-party customers stood at € 25.6 million, with a significant increase (+17.0% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year) driven by contribution of the new regional networks developed in the context of refarming.

EBITDAamounts to € 115.7 million, an increase of 5.2% over € 110.0 million in the nine months 2021. This growth is the result of higher revenues and a focus on costs, which, even including certain non-recurring benefits, offset the headwinds of more than € 7 million from the sharp increase in electricity prices. The margin on revenues reached 62.7% (64.0% in the nine months 2021). No non-recurring expenses were recorded during the nine months (absent in the same period of 2021 as well).

Operating profit (EBIT)amounts to € 79.8 million, rising 8.9% over € 73.3 million of the nine months 2021, and benefits also from the completed depreciation of DVB-T transmission equipment.

Net incomeamounts to € 56.3 million, up compared to the nine months 2021 figure, when - including a one-off tax relief of € 1.0 million - it stood at € 52.8 million.

Capex4 amount to € 41.9 million at 30 September 2022, of which € 35.0 million relate to development and M&A activities (€ 55.5 million in the nine months 2021, of which € 46.6 million of development activities). The level of development investments reflects mainly the gradual finalization of activities related to the refarming process for RAI as well as the implementation of the new regional TV networks and the new assets design activities.

Net invested capital5 amounts to € 280.6 million, with net debtof € 122.2 million (including the impact from the application of the IFRS-16 accounting standard for € 36.7 million)
