Ravenna, 06 August 2021 – Itway S.p.A. (“Itway” or the “Company”), the parent company operating in the IT, Cyber Security, AI and Big Data sector, listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA, communicates the half-yearly pre-final data obtained from 100% owned VAD (Value Added Distributor) companies specialized in Cybersecurity operating in Greece and Turkey, which confirm their multi-year growth trend also in the year of Covid.

In the first half of 2021 there was confirmation that the Covid-19 pandemic hit continental Europe hard, but Greece and Turkey much less and in these countries the expectation, therefore, of a better recovery rate than the European average.

In both countries, Itway performed much better than the reference market, and this thanks to the implementation of multi-year strategic choices that continue to give good results. In both countries, the focus was on “premium” cyber security lines such as Checkpoint and new product lines were introduced that supported over-performance. The margin also reflects the ability to achieve greater economic efficiency in operations. The results were supported by a surge in demand, generated by the increase in smartworking and the need for public and private organizations to protect data and information.

It should be noted the growth in Turkey which has seen, in this first half of 2021, an increase in turnover of over 60% in local currency compared to the previous year 2020. Also considering the devaluation of the exchange rate (Euro against Turkish Lira) the year 2021 shows a growth of 22%, with an increase in margins compared to the previous year.

Itway Turkey and Itway Hellas are thus confirmed as among the leading Cyber security operators in Turkey and Greece.

The following are the main consolidated economic indicators of the VAD operations in which the Itway Group operates through the Greek and Turkish subsidiaries, compared with the values of the previous year:
