BIESSE GROUP PROFILE

The Biesse Group is a multinational manufacturer of integrated lines and machines for the processing of wood, glass, stone, plastics, composites and future materials. Founded in Italy in 1969 and listed on the Euronext Star segment of the Italian Borsa Italiana stock exchange since June 2001, the Biesse Group supports the business development of its customers in the furniture, housing & construction, automotive and aerospace sectors. Today, more than 75% of its consolidated turnover is generated abroad, thanks to an ever-expanding worldwide network with 4 production sites and over 30 showrooms covering more than 160 countries. Thanks to the expertise of over 4,100 employees, leading companies in their sectors and the most respected names in Italian and international design are inspired to unlock the potential of every material.

Compared to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022, there are no changes in the scope of consolidation.

INTRODUCTION

The Biesse Group's consolidated quarterly report as at 31 March 2023, unaudited, has been prepared pursuant to Article 154-ter, paragraph 2 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria established by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Accounting standards and recognition criteria are consistent with those of the Financial Statements as at

31 December 2022, to which reference should be made. Furthermore, it should be noted that:

  • the quarterly financial statements have been prepared using the discrete approach, according to which the reference period is considered to be a discrete accounting period. In this respect, the income statement items for the period are recognised in the quarterly income statement on an accruals basis;
  • the financial statements underlying the consolidation process are those prepared by subsidiaries with reference to the period ended 31/03/2023, adjusted, where necessary, to align them with the Group's accounting policies.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Management uses some performance indicators, which are not identified as accounting measures under the IFRS (non-GAAP measures), to better assess the Biesse Group's performance. The criterion applied by the Biesse Group to set these indicators might not be the same as that adopted by other groups, and the indicators might not be comparable with those set by the latter. These performance indicators, which were set in compliance with the Guidelines on performance indicators issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by CONSOB with its communication No. 92543 of 3 December 2015, refer to performance in the accounting period covered by this Annual Report on Operations and the previous year used for comparison.

Performance indicators are to be regarded as complementary to and not a substitute for financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS. Hereafter is a description of the main indicators adopted.

  • Value Added: this indicator is defined as the Profit (Loss) for the year before income taxes, finance income and expense, exchange rate gains and losses, amortisation of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment losses on fixed assets, allocations to provisions for risks and charges, costs and revenues arising from transactions that Management considers as non- recurring relative to the Biesse Group's ordinary operations, as well as personnel expense.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation): this indicator is defined as the Profit (Loss) for the period before income taxes, finance income and expense, exchange rate gains and losses, amortisation of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, impairment losses on fixed assets, allocations to provisions for risks and charges, as well as costs and revenues arising from transactions that Management considers as non-recurringrelative to the Biesse Group's ordinary operations.

  • Operating Profit or EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes): this indicator is defined as Profit (Loss) for the year before income taxes, financial income and expenses, and foreign exchange losses and gains.
