As of December 31st 2021, the value of the contracts and purchase orders for products already confirmed between the Company and its customers, net of the value of the revenues already recorded as of the same date (except in the event of reduction, suspension or termination) amounted to a total amount of EUR 18.6 million ("Hard Backlog"). This backlog mainly relates to the "Aerospace and Defence" division, while the "Industrial" division has a short-term lead time and is realised, on average, within three months from the signing of the order.

The Company recorded a solid performance in all business divisions, consolidating its position in the Aerospace and Defence sector (64% of total operating revenues 2021 net of change in inventories of finished and semi-finished products) and in the Industrial division (36% of total operating revenues 2021 net of change in inventories of finished and semi-finished products). Civitanavi confirms its growth path in all sectors of its

EBITDA as of December 31st 2021 amounted to EUR 7.7 million, up from EUR 5 million in 2020, representing a margin expansion from 26% of total revenue up to 31%. It should be noted that the Company capitalised development costs of €0.8 million in the 2021 financial statements.

The Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year 2021 is 32%, down from the Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the year 2020 (of approximately 35.6%). Adjusted EBITDA for the year 2021 was EUR 0.8, milion up approximately EUR 0.2 milion (with an estimated percentage increase of approximately 17%) compared to Adjusted EBITDA for the year 2020 (equal to approximately EUR 0.7milion). The increase in absolute terms is substantially due to the estimated growth in Total Revenues, while the decrease in percentage terms is mainly due to the greater weight in 2021, compared to the previous year, of the sale of a significant amount of components and semi-finished products at cost price, by virtue of a broader commercial agreement signed during the 2017 financial year with a leading customer in the Aerospace and Defence business sector. The components and semi-finished products, once assembled by the customer, will then allow the Company to receive royalties associated with the sale of the finished product, starting from the financial year 2022, as provided for by the abovementioned commercial agreement, since they are subject to a know-how licence by the Company.

EBIT as of December 31st 2021 was EUR 6.7 million compared to EUR 4.0 million as of December 31st 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in EBITDA, while depreciation and amortisation tended to be in line with the same period last year.

Total profit for the year reached EUR 4.9 million, compared to EUR 5.9 million in the previous year. The reduction in comprehensive income for the year is attributable merely to the tax effect of the recognition of deferred tax assets in 2020, following the tax revaluation; as proof of this, the pre-tax result for 2021 is significantly higher than 2020. It should be noted that in 2020, "Income taxes" included the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from the tax benefit generated by the revaluation pursuant to the provisions of Article 110 of Decree-Law 104/2020 (converted with amendments into Law 126/2020) which occurred in the financial statements as of December 31st 2020 approved in accordance with national accounting standards and subject to "derecognition" upon the first adoption of EU-IFRS.

Net financial debt amounted to EUR 2.9 million, increasing from EUR 1.3 million as of December 31st 2020, mainly due to the cash absorbed by operating and investing activities during the year, and is mainly attributable to the following factors:

  1. the increase in inventories related to semi-finished products and raw materials in order to be able to meet production needs, and to the payment of advances made in 2021 relating to sales finalised in 2022, as well as in relation to the growth in the company's business volume;
  2. the increase in trade receivables caused by shipments/sales made in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter of 2020, as well as in relation to the growth in the company's business volume;
  3. the increase in contract work in progress (Assets for contract work in progress net of Advances for contract work in progress), due to the progress of the contracts and the contractually agreed advances;
  4. the increase recorded in other current assets net of current liabilities mainly due to the significant tax credit generated following the supplementary tax returns. It should also be noted that in 2021 the costs related to the stock exchange listing (in accordance with IAS 32) finalised on 17 February 2022 were suspended under other assets.

Capital expenditure related to property, plant and equipment for the year ended as of December 31st 2021, amounted to EUR 0.5 million and mainly related to the purchase of production machinery and equipment for the expansion of the production capacity. Overall, these investments were aimed at increasing the company's production capacity. Investments in intangible assets mainly related to development activities carried out in 2021, amounting to EUR 0.8 million.
