Giandomenico Sica, Executive Chairman of DHH's Board of Directors, commented: "In 5 years from our listing on the Italian Stock Exchange, we managed to increase our size by 5, passing from Euro 4M to Euro 20M of revenue, split on approximately 120.000 customers across Southern Europe. On the other hand, EBITDA passed from Euro 355K (2016) to Euro 6,9M (2021), thus increasing approximately by 20 times in the period. Speaking of 2021, it was a pretty tough year in the world, with the resurgence of the pandemic and the first signals of a conflict in Europe. In this environment, which was certainly challenging for everybody, we managed to continue our organic growth path, thanks to the sales of our cloud computing products. We also completed 3 M&A deals, of which two small consolidation deals in Italy and Croatia and a sizable deal in Bulgaria, thus entering in a market new to us. In the second part of the year, we promoted as an industrial partner the creation of Errera Technology, a Special Purpose Vehicle that in 4 months from its start made a business combination with Icona, a scale-up focused on Augmented Reality technology for remote support, and listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, with a ROI at listing for us of +145%. The acquisitions that we made in 2021 will be fully consolidated in 2022, thus contributing - on top of our recurring revenue - to development of our results of the year. Worthy of mention is "Consorzio Italia Cloud", a consortium co-promoted by our portfolio company Seeweb. Consorzio Italia Cloud aims to support the government sector in the journey towards digitization and cloud adoption within a framework of secure and resilient use of domestic technologies and expertise coming from the industrial and research sectors as envisaged in the PNRR (Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza). Regarding 2022, we are not changing the strategy we are pursuing since the beginning of our journey in 2015, looking for new local cloud computing champions active in the emerging economies of Europe and beyond to include in our group. Our ever growing dealflow of more than 100 ongoing dialogues developed in these years is supporting us to achieve this goal."
Milan, 28 March 2022. DHH S.p.A. ("DHH" or the "Company") (DHH.MI | WDHH21.MI) (ISIN shares IT0005203622), the cloud computing provider of Southeast Europe, announces that today the Board of Directors examined and approved the draft statutory financial statements of the Company as well as the consolidated financial statements relating to the group headed by DHH at 31 December 2021.

The Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, on the same occasion, the distribution of an ordinary dividend by assignment of a portion of Company's treasury shares, equal to no. 1 share per each no. 45 shares held (with rounding down to the lowest unit number) up to a maximum of no. 104.170 shares, collectively representing up to 2,13% of DHH's share capital - in respect of no. 205.110 treasury shares currently owned, collectively representing 4,19% of DHH's share capital - and with a dividend total value amounting to Euro 1.614.635 (calculated on the basis of the shares' closing price as of 25 March 2022). According to the Board of Directors proposal, the relevant detachment date would be 2 May 2022, with record date on 3 May 2022 and payment date on 4 May 2022. The dividend is an ordinary one. In accordance with the communications of the Italian tax office n.26/E of March 7, 2011 and n.12/E of February 7, 2012 the shares related to the dividend in question are not subject to taxation at the time of assignment.

The growth in Italy in 2021 has been strongly influenced by the consolidation of Seeweb in the group. In fact, Seeweb accounted 2/12 in 2020 since the deal has been effective from November 2020, while in 2021 we observe the full contribution of the company. In the same way, the acquisitions completed in 2021, with particular reference to Evolink, which is the most significant one (ref. Evolink has a turnover of approximately Euro 3M), will start showing their full effect in 2022.
Recurring revenue accounts to 95% of the total revenue and refers to the subscriptions of the cloud computing products. Recurring revenue can be divided into different business lines: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Datacenter & Networking. IaaS is mostly related to the sale of subscriptions of cloud servers; PaaS is related to the sale of subscriptions of cloud hosting products; SaaS is related to the sale of subscriptions of cloud mail, cloud backup and related add-on products. Datacenter & Networking are related to colocation of space in the datacenter and to b2b connectivity.
In terms of margin, the EBITDA increased more than the revenue (+278% vs +113%), thanks to the scalability of the business model. The cash conversion is always very high, with an operating cash flow equal to 82,6% of the EBITDA. In terms of cash availabilities, the company has Euro 9,5M of cash, despite the investments made in 2021: mostly Evolink, Mondoserver, Optima Hosting, Errera Technology, and the buyback. The net result has been impacted by the positive impact of Euro 837k due to the deferred tax connected with the valuation of assets (ref. trademarks).
DHH PROFIT ALLOCATION
DHH, parent company of the Group, in the financial year ended on 31 December 2021 reported a net result amounting to Euro 2.185.302. profits which the Board of Directors in its report proposes to address as follows: Euro 385.126 will be used to cover the loss forward; Euro 7.482 to the legal reserve, up to the limit provided by the art. 2430 of the Italian civil code; Euro 1.614.635 to be distributed as ordinary dividend by assignment of treasury shares; the resting amount of Euro 178.057 to the extraordinary reserve.
AUTHORISATION TO THE PURCHASE AND DISPOSAL OF TREASURY SHARES
In addition to the above, during the meeting of DHH's Board of Directors held on today's date it was resolved to submit to DHH's shareholders the proposal of authorising the purchase and disposal of treasury shares pursuant to article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code, prior revocation of the authorisation granted with resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2021.
The reason of the proposal is to allow the Board of Directors to utilise the treasury shares for one or more of the following purposes:
- executing share incentive plans (e.g. stock options, stock grant, work for equity plans etc.), allocating shares - in incentive perspective - as compensations or consideration or bonuses to directors, employees and/or co-workers, freely allocating shares to shareholders, fulfil to obligations deriving from warrants or other financial instruments;
- allocating or exchanging shares within the context of transactions related to the core management and operations of the Company or to the strategic lines that the Company intends to pursue (extraordinary financing transactions, business combination transactions, strategic commercial agreements etc.);
- considering the share as an object of investment, in order to efficiently use the liquidity generated through the carrying out of the ordinary business activity of the Company; and
- taking actions (if possible under the applicable laws and regulations and in compliance therewith), also through intermediaries, aimed at limiting anomalous movements in share prices and regularising tradings and runs in case of temporary distorting phenomena due to an excess of volatility or limited exchange liquidity or, more in general, to support the shares' liquidity and the market efficiency.
PROPOSAL FOR THE ADOPTION OF A STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND AMENDMENT OF THE AUTHORIZATION GRANTED BY THE EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING ON APRIL 28, 2021
DHH's Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting the adoption of a stock option plan called "Stock option plan DHH 2022-2025" (the "Stock Option Plan" or the "Plan"), addressed to some directors of DHH and its subsidiaries which will be identified by the Board due to the role of director or executive director held by the beneficiaries in the Company or in its subsidiaries.
The Stock Option Plan provides for the allocation to the beneficiaries free of charge of conditional option rights which - once accrued in accordance with the Plan's regulation and subsequently exercised - entitles the holders to subscribe newly issued DHH ordinary shares at a fixed price. At the Company's discretion, the Plan may also be served through treasury shares held in its securities portfolio.
ADOPTION OF A "CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT"
During the Board of Directors meeting held today, the Company also approved the adoption of a Code of Ethics and Conduct, applicable to all managers, officers, employees and collaborators of each company included in the corporate group, which represents the guiding principles and commitments undertaken by DHH in terms of ethics and conduct of its business.
The code of ethics declines some values such as integrity, reliability, community care and safety intrinsic to our Company's business and aimed at supporting the development of digitalization of emerging economies in Europe and abroad by supporting local business and users with the necessary cloud computing services. At the same time, the rules of conduct are declined in the social, environmental and governance areas of the group.
The document will be made available to the public on the website of DHH.
IMPACT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE
On February 24, 2022, the Russian army invaded Ukraine with a military operation that put several cities and regions under siege. As a result of this operation, the countries of the European Union and NATO have moved at the diplomatic level and a series of measures and sanctions have been launched against Russia. Alongside the humanitarian tragedy, the conflict is having strong economic repercussions, in particular in relation to the prices of energy and raw materials.
At present, the evolution of the conflict is absolutely not foreseeable. DHH is currently not impacted by the conflict, but it will constantly monitor the international situation.
"PMI INNOVATIVA" QUALIFICATION
During 2021 DHH S.p.A. has been confirmed "PMI Innovativa" in the related section of the company register in Milan.
