All economic and financial indicators grew:

* EBITDA of EUR87.3 million (EUR81.0 million in 2023);

* EBIT of EUR72.1 million (EUR65.6 million in 2023);

* Profit before tax amounts to EUR73.1 million (EUR62.1 million in 2023).

Today, the Board of Directors of Reply S.p.A. (EXM, STAR: REY) approved the
results as at 31 March 2024.

Since the beginning of the year, the Group has recorded a consolidated
turnover amounting to EUR554.3 million, an increase of 6.5% compared to the
corresponding data for 2023.

All indicators are positive for the period. In the first quarter of 2024 the
consolidated EBITDA was EUR87.3 million compared to EUR81.0 million in 2023,
equal to 15.8% of the turnover.

EBIT, from January to March, was EUR72.1 million (EUR65.6 million in 2023) and
is equal to 13.0% of the turnover.

The profit before tax, from January to March, was EUR73.1 million (EUR62.1
million in 2023), equal to 13.2% of the turnover.

The net financial position of the Group on 31 March 2024 is also positive by
368.9 million. The net financial position on 31 December 2023 was positive
for EUR204.9 million.

"The first quarter of 2024", Reply Chairman Mario Rizzante has said, "was
positive, both in terms of revenues and margins. Since the beginning of the
year, we have seen an increased interest in applications related to the use
of artificial intelligence, an area where Reply has long been committed and
where it has acquired a leading position in the market."

"In particular," continues Mario Rizzante, "the increasingly pervasive
diffusion of artificial intelligence is accelerating the evolution from
models composed of a few large core applications to scenarios based on a
fragmentation of global services and platforms. As Reply, we are working
with our customers on projects aimed at introducing artificial intelligence
within the main marketing, sales, production, distribution processes, as
well as in the products. Other major areas of interest include in-vehicle
artificial intelligence and new conversational interfaces based on spatial
computing platforms".

"Today, however, we are still at the beginning of a huge transformation. -
concludes Mario Rizzante - In the next few years, the widespread adoption
and ongoing advancements of artificial intelligence will require everyone to
make a great effort in the continuous redefinition of systems and the way of
working; two areas in which Reply is significantly investing, in specific
solutions and specific expertise, to support companies in what will be the
challenge of the future."

Giuseppe Veneziano, states in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis
