*NFP as of 31/12/2021

At the end of the first half of 2022, revenues amounted to € 16.67 million, an increase of
13.2% compared to the half-year results of the previous year (€ 14.73 million). This growth in
turnover was made possible thanks to the completion of the Disco Dragon animated series
by Mondo TV France, the growth in revenues of Mondo TV Studios, and the advancement of
the production of the parent company.
EBITDA recorded a value of € 12.56 million, 4.2% up compared to 1H21A when the item
amounted to € 12.05 million. As can be seen from the lower growth in EBITDA compared to
revenues, the EBITDA margin stood at 75.3%, down compared to 81.8% in the first six months
of the previous fiscal year. Responsible for this change are, on the one hand, the lower
capitalizations of animated series made internally (€ 1.68 million in 1H22A against € 2.55
million in 1H21A) that impact on the total value of production and, on the other, the increase
in production costs and purchase costs of rights on the series sold in relation to the greater
volume of trading of rights.
EBIT on 30 June 2022 amounted to € 4.23 million (€ 4.17 million in 1H21A) after amortization
and depreciation of € 8.33 million. The slight percentage growth, equal to 1.5%, is explained
by the increase in amortization resulting from investments made in the Group's library and
the delivery of the last episodes of the animated series Disco Dragon by the subsidiary Mondo
TV France. The increase in amortization, therefore, impacted the EBIT margin, which was
equal to 22.2%, down compared to 23.8% in the previous period.
Net profit amounted to € 4.27 million and recorded a growth of 35.1% compared to the same
year-half of the previous period (€ 3.16 million), thanks also to the increase in financial income
(€ 2.14 million on 30 June 2022 against € 1.15 million on 30 June 2021) and the reduction in
financial charges (from € 0.82 million to € 0.41 million), mainly deriving from the positive
trend in euro/dollar exchange rates.
Finally, the NFP worsened from € 8.51 million in 1H21A to € 12.54 million in 1H22A, due to
significant investments in the production of the new series.

for the European market, which goes from € 3.70 million in 1H21A to € 2.10 million in 1H22A.
In particular, Italy grew by € 0.71 million, Asia by € 2.72 million, and the Americas market was

Source: Integrae SIM

In light of the results published in the half-yearly report for 1H22A, we confirm almost entirely
our estimates for both the current year and the coming years.

In particular, we estimate 2022E revenues of € 36.00 million and EBITDA of € 29.20 million,
corresponding to a marginality of 70.4%. For subsequent years, we expect the revenues to
increase up to € 40.00 million (CAGR 21A-24E: 11.0%) in 2024E, with EBITDA of € 35.30 million
(corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 76.6%), up from € 24.36 million in 2021A
(corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 68.5%).

As for the estimated investments, we expect Capex for 2022E equal to approximately
€ 36.05 million, which will be supported by the Group in order to conclude the pipeline
production cycle.

Finally, we estimate an NFP for 2024E cash positive and equal to € 13.21 million, mainly thanks
to the positive cash flows generated by the return on investments made in previous years.

The BUY, HOLD and SELL ratings are based on the expected total return (ETR – absolute performance in the 12 months
following the publication of the analysis, including the ordinary dividend paid by the company), and the risk associated to
the share analyzed. The degree of risk is based on the liquidity and volatility of the share, and on the rating provided by the
analyst and contained in the report. Due to daily fluctuations in share prices, the expected total return may temporarily fall
outside the proposed range

Valuation methodologies (long term horizon: 12 months)


The methods that INTEGRAE SIM SpA prefers to use for value the company under analysis are those which are generally
used, such as the market multiples method which compares average multiples (P/E, EV/EBITDA, and other) of similar shares
and/or sectors, and the traditional financial methods (RIM, DCF, DDM, EVA etc). For financial securities (banks and
insurance companies) Integrae SIM SpA tends to use methods based on comparison of the ROE and the cost of capital
(embedded value for insurance companies).
