The negative impact of the exchange rate and the result of applying IAS 29 and 21 has been 49.3%.
Likewise the adjusted EBITA for the period of reference reached EUR 50.3 million, a 10.7% margin with regard to revenue. The reduction in adjusted EBITA compared to the same period the previous year amounts to 15.9%.

PROFIT/LOSS FIRST QUARTER
The evolution in adjusted EBITA from January to March 2024 with respect to the same period the previous year is essentially explained by the following impacts:
- Steady business growth in local currencies: the CASH Group's businesses have shown resilience to the inflationary pressures triggered by armed conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and to sudden changes in monetary policies.
- Negative impact of the Argentine peso exchange rate. The plans for adjustment introduced by the new government of Argentina in December 2023 included significantly reducing the fiscal deficit and sharply depreciating the exchange rate, which directly and adversely impacted the CASH Group's adjusted EBITA in the first three months of 2024.
- Non-recurringexpenses rose sharply after a step-up in store openings in the foreign exchange business, and due to restructuring costs associated with the CASH Group's merger in Australia in 2023.
- Growth in Transformation Products: Transformation Products continues to grow, underpinning the positive trend in this business line, which already represents 31.7% of total revenue.
Consolidated net profit increased by EUR 17.7 million, compared to EUR 14.1 million in 2023.

CASH Group revenue have continued to grow at a very healthy pace in local currency, showing resilience to volatile monetary policies and the inflationary pressures unleashed by armed conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. This is because:
- The CASH Group has no direct exposure to the geographic areas of conflict, given that it does not operate in these territories.
- Inflationary impacts continue to be offset by trade flow, passing on the increase in labour costs to clients on a more recurring basis; additionally, cash in circulation remains robust.
- Sustained good acceptance of the commercial and operational proposals that the CASH Group is offering its clients.

PROFIT/LOSS FIRST QUARTER
Furthermore, due to the differing performance of local currencies in several regions where the Group operates, coupled with the adjustments introduced by the new government of Argentina in December 2023, currency exchange has had a negative impact during the period from January to March 2024.
Lastly, the positive performance of Transformation Products is worthy of note, which have continued to grow and increase their total percentage of revenue thanks to a combination of organic growth. In relative terms, the growth of Transformation Products for the first few months of 2024 was 11.5% compared to the same period of the previous year.
