Brescia, 25 September 2025 - The Board of Directors of Intred S.p.A. ("Intred" or the "Company"), a telecommunications company listed since July 2018 on the Euronext Growth Milan market of Borsa Italiana (symbol: ITD.MI), met today and reviewed and approved the Half-Year Report at 30 June 2025, prepared in accordance with Italian accounting standards and subject to limited audit.In the words of Daniele Peli, Co-Founder and CEO of Intred S.p.A.: "The first half of 2025 confirms the solidity and resilience of our business model, even in a challenging market environment. We take particular pride in having achieved growth in volume and margins while continuing to allocate a substantial share of our sales to innovation and infrastructure. During this period, we invested in the growth of our proprietary network,
1 EBITDA: Alternative Performance Measure: EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciations and Amortizations), an APM not defined by the Italian accounting standards, but used by Management to monitor and measure its performance, as it is not affected by volatility, due to the effects of the range of criteria for determining taxable income, the amount and nature of capital employed and the associated amortization/depreciation policies. This measure is defined by Intred as Profit/(Loss) for the period before amortization and depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets, financial income and expense, and income tax.
exceeding 14,250 km of fibre throughout Lombardy. In parallel, we are advancing the Data Center project in Brescia, a business close and complementary to ours that is expanding quickly. We look forward to the second half of the year with confidence that the consolidation of our customer base, the development of ultra-broadband services, and the contribution of the School Tenders will continue to generate sustainable growth and create value".
KEY INCOME-FINANCIAL RESULTS AT 30 JUNE 2025As disclosed on 1 August 2025 (see press release of 1 August 2025), in first half 2025, Intred recorded revenue of over € 27.8 million, reflecting solid organic growth of 7.8%. Compared to the prior six months, total revenue was basically steady (+0.9%), due mainly to two factors:
(i) the gradual reduction of one-off revenue from school tenders, initiated in prior years and now nearing completion, which will mainly convert into recurring revenue in 2025; (ii) the impact of the new management strategy adopted for Connecting, which in first half 2024 was still managed by the previous shareholder base, progressively reducing or divesting non-strategic or unprofitable services to improve efficiency and margins. Organic revenue growth of 7.8% YoY confirms the strength of the business model and the ongoing expansion of the customer base.
The merger of Connecting Italia S.r.l. into Intred S.p.A. will enable further exploitation of synergies from the integration of activities and cost rationalization, fostering growth in margins and improvement in the Company's profitability.
Value of production at 30 June 2025 stood at € 27.9 million, while revenue from sales for first half 2025 amounted to € 27.8 million, up 7.2% versus € 25.9 million reported in the same period of 2024 and consistent with the forecasts outlined in the guidance of the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan (see press release of 24 September 2024).
Growth was driven in particular by sales of Ultra Broadband connections, totaling € 16.2 million, and Voice and Data services, reaching € 5.0 million, up 20.2% versus first half 2024.
The strongest momentum was recorded in recurring fee services, the Company's core business, which represented approximately 92.2% of revenue, or € 25.6 million, up 7.9% YoY. The high share of recurring revenue ensures stability of flows and visibility on future development, underscoring the resilience of the business model even in a competitive context.
By customer type, the clearest progress came from the Wholesale sector, up 7.8% to € 2.2 million. Equally notable was the performance of Public Administration, which posted a 33.1% increase, benefiting particularly from the School Tenders that supported the rollout of recurring and structural services. The Private segment rose by 5.9% with revenue of € 5.0 million, while the Professional segment confirmed its strength with € 15.6 million in revenue, advancing by 6.8%.
The "churn rate" on sales remained well below market benchmarks, at 4.4%, confirming strong customer retention.
The number of users with data lines at 30 June 2025 exceeded 56,500, up 11.4% versus the same period last year.
EBITDA in first half 2025 came to € 12.5 million, up 9.1% versus € 11.5 million in first half 2024, with an EBITDA margin of 44.9%. The margin level achieved, which represents a historic high in both absolute terms and as a percentage, reflects the Company's operational strength and ability to sustain significant investment programmes while maintaining a solid financial structure. EBIT came to € 6.0 million, up from € 5.8 million recorded at 30 June 2024, with an EBITmargin of 21.6%.
Net profit at 30 June 2025 was € 3.6 million, broadly in line with € 3.5 million in the same period last year, reflecting higher amortization and depreciation and financial expense related to increased debt to finance new investment on the proprietary network.STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Net financial debt at 30 June 2025 stood at € 37.4 million versus € 32.9 million at 31 December 2024. The increase reflects substantial investment in support of the School Tenders, with payables to banks amounting to € 44.4 million versus € 43.1 million at 31 December 2024. Cash amounted to € 7.0 million versus € 10.3 million at end 2024. Equity at 30 June 2025 was € 61.6 million, up 3.2% from € 59.7 million at 31 December 2024.***
INVESTMENT AND NETWORK DEVELOPMENTInvestment in first half 2025 amounted to € 12.2 million, focused mainly on the development of the fibre backhauling and access network in FTTH mode across Lombardy. At 30 June 2025, Intred's proprietary network exceeded 14,250 km, up 9.9% versus approximately 13,000 km recorded at end first half 2024.
The sharp increase in investment in prior years enabled the Company to meet commitments related to the School Tenders, which serve as a key lever to broaden the connectivity offering to local Public Administration, as well as business and residential customers.
The predominant share of investment is in tangible fixed assets (civil works for laying, fibre cables, shelters, manholes, and electronic equipment). A smaller portion is allocated instead to intangible fixed assets, attributable mainly to the acquisition of long-term rights of use for dark fiber and/or cable ducts, in IRU (Indefeasible Right of Use) mode.
