Rome, 17March 2022 - The Board of Directors of Rai Way S.p.A. (“Rai Way” or the “Company”), met today under the chairmanship of Giuseppe Pasciucco, examined and unanimously approved the Company’s draft of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Aldo Mancino, CEO of Rai Way, stated: “Performance in 2021 was satisfactory and above our initial expectations, with Adjusted EBITDA up 5% and development investments at over €70 million. Year on year, we have steadily improved our results, bringing recurring cash generation around €30 million above the 2014 IPO’s levels. Activities for RAI aimed at the transition to the new digital TV were accompanied by those related to the development of networks for local broadcasters - again in the context of refarming – and to the design of new infrastructure and services envisaged in the Industrial Plan, such as the edge data centre network. Finally, we are proud to say that, also thanks to the completion of several initiatives of the Sustainability Plan, the improvement of financial results has been accompanied by the development of the company's ESG profile, as recognised by the main international rating providers”.
