back a hundred years, the great global vaccination campaign, the launch of the green pass era.

The year 2021 will leave its mark on history, as will the present time, which is opening up with glimpses of

world war in the heart of Europe no less.

Within the smaller scope of our being a company and an economic player, Exprivia has continued its mission

of innovating its customers' business models through digital transformation, interpreting the greatest

changes underway. These transformations are now as inevitable as they are urgent: ecological and energy

transitions, Europe's various national versions of the NRRP which have become central to the social and

economic policies of each country.

positions we acquired in the market, supporting our customers in that recovery phase during which our

country's GDP has grown by more than 6%.

We can say that we have latched on to the economic recovery following the acute phase of the pandemic,

that we have managed to grow in line with the trends in the Italian digital market and, above all, that we have

preserved, or rather increased, our margins and, finally, reduced our debt, which, to tell the truth, has always

been within the parameters of Exprivia's size. It is precisely with solid industrial and financial fundamentals

that we are now preparing to relaunch our group, through new strategic lines of development that will see us

increasingly and better oriented towards the challenges that lie ahead: the digitalisation of the country, the

environmental challenges that can only be met by a strong political will and a conscious use of technology.

maintained their confidence in our ability to support them in their business decisions, the more than two

thousand employees of our Group and the management supporting me every day in the strategies and their

implementation.

As a group with sound foundations and cohesive management, we are steering the future. It has never been

easy to make predictions, and is more difficult than ever today: the war in Ukraine has surprised us and left

us incredulous. We quickly stopped reading about pandemics and the NRRP to make room for daily war

bulletins. But we do not want to give up the responsibility of developing the future, our future.

Once again, I can say that we started the new year 2022 with an awareness of our strengths and with a

financial structure that will allow us to continue investing in growth: innovation in services, in solutions,

continuous training of our employees. We are looking very closely at Artificial Intelligence, at how pervasive it

entering the world of work, a reliable and secure reference point for the changes taking place. We are

counting on working to ensure that technologies are the real bulwark for a new renaissance of humanity in

which women and men are always unquestionably at the centre. We are always convinced and proud to be

able to contribute in this way - with the strength of our ideas and expertise - to the growth of our people, of

our company size, of the value we create for our shareholders and of our country.

The Chairman,

Domenico Favuzzi
