GROWING MARGINS AND EXCELLENT CASH GENERATION IN THE FIRST
QUARTER OF 2024
- Consolidated revenues amounted to € 199.6 million, with a slight decrease from EUR 207.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding lower volumes in Special Products, as a result of important industrial investments, the Group's main business units showed a positive performance, both at volume and sales level.
- Consolidated adj. EBITDA: € 18.8 million, +3.9% vs. € 18.2million in the first quarter of 2023; Adj. EBITDA margin 9.5% vs. 8.8% in the first quarter of 2023.

- Consolidated net profit: € 5.2 million, up 25% vs. € 4.2 million (excluding income from business combination) in the first quarter of 2023.
- Underlying Free Cash Flow equal to € 10.5 million.
- Consolidated net debt at 31 March 2024 equal to € 66 million, a great improvement vs. € 74.3 million at 31 December 2023. Excluding IFRS 16, consolidated Net Debt was € 22.3 vs. € 29.5 million at 31 December 2023.
Reggio Emilia, 14 May 2024 - the Board of Directors of Newlat Food S.p.A. ("Newlat Food" or the "Company") which met under the chairmanship of Angelo Mastrolia, examined and approved the Interim Management Statement as at 31 March 2024.
The Chairman Angelo Mastrolia commented: "'We are very pleased with the results of the first quarter of the year, which confirm our ability to create value through improved margins and cash generation. In a highly volatile market context and despite a particularly challenging comparison base (+19% recorded in the first quarter of 2023), the first three months of 2024 saw the Group confirm € 200 million in turnover and enhance its profile through better profitability. Operational limitations related to modernization works that affected the entire bakery and liquid infant milk department at the Ozzano Taro plant have certainly penalized revenue growth, but this is a temporary effect. We are confident that the new investments will promote business development both in Italy and abroad, in a sector where industrial know-how plays a crucial role. The cash generated in the quarter further reduced net debt, making the Group's financial structure even more flexible and laying the foundation for new and significant steps in external growth, on which Newlat is always very focused on and consistently working on multiple dossiers."

Revenue from the Special Products segment decreased as a result of a decline in sales volumes linked to investments made at the Ozzano Taro plant. These investments, crucial for maintaining the plant as a leading center of excellence in specialized nutrition, include a complete renovation of the bakery department with the introduction of a new state-of-the-artoven and a fully automated advanced packaging line, designed to expand the production capacity for biscuits and bread substitutes, both traditional and gluten-free, with low and high protein content. Additionally, cutting-edgetechnologies have also been installed in the liquid milk and beverage lines of the plant, particularly investing in new technologies for the preparation and thermal treatment of products, with aseptic packaging that preserves the nutritional properties of the beverages. Furthermore, the development of high nutritional value beverages and formulations for adults and children over one year old is underway, designed for various consumption contexts, such as meal replacements, in high protein diets, or as isotonic drinks, enhanced waters, energy drinks, and sports drinks. These improvements will make the Ozzano Taro plant, long synonymous with quality and specialized nutrition and a unique facility in Italy, a reference point in specialized nutrition at the European and global level.
Revenue from the Instant noodles & bakery mixes segment decreased due to a lower average selling price.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Considering the short historical timeframe covered by the Group's order book and the difficulties and uncertainties of the current global economic situation, it is not easy to formulate predictions regarding the performance of the current fiscal year, which nevertheless appears very positive. The Group will continue to pay close attention to cost control and financial management to maximize the generation of free cash flow, to be allocated both to organic growth through external means and to shareholder remuneration. As of the approval date of this interim report, there is still an ongoing conflict in Europe involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine. The ongoing conflicts and tensions in the Suez Canal cause a lot of uncertainty about the direction of the global economy.
These events have consistently influenced and continue to influence the choices and commercial policies of the Group, which faces a highly dynamic environment where it is difficult to predict to what extent these events may have significant repercussions on the prospects for 2024. However, based on the results achieved in the first quarter and the available information, the Directors reasonably believe that significant negative impacts can be reasonably excluded.
