Matteo Monfredini, Chairman of the Board of Directors comments: “We end our third financial year as a listed company with another decisive growth of fundamentals. 2017 was an extremely positive year for our group. After having moved to the international accounting standards, implemented a renewed management control system, finalised an incentive plan for the first lines of management, introduced the model 231 required by the Italian Stock Exchange for all listed companies in the STAR segment, in July 2017 we increased the floating to about 33%, successfully completing a collection of EUR 6 million to support our investments and acquisitions plan. In recent months we have set the new course of investments. In 2018, we are aiming at further growth with the goal of reinforcing our European hub positioning in the field of data-driven marketing technologies“. MailUp S.p.A. (the “Company” or “MailUp Group”), a company admitted to listing on the multilateral trading facility “AIM Italia/Alternative Capital Market” and active in the field of marketing technology (Reuters: MAIL.MI) (Bloomberg: MAIL:IM) (ISIN IT0005040354), has approved the 2017 consolidated financial statements and the draft financial statements. Main economic and financial results MailUp Group recorded positive results in 2017. Consolidated total turnover went from EUR 21.6 to EUR 27.3 million, with an increase of over EUR 5.6 million and 26% in percentage terms. Turning to the business lines in which the Group business is split, the SMS sector recorded the largest growth with almost EUR 4.5 million of higher consolidated turnover (+39%) compared to the previous year, thanks in particular to the performance of Agile Telecom. Also BEE showed very significant growth, passing in 2017 from EUR 155,000 to a turnover of almost EUR 484,000 (+212%), demonstrating how the product, a sort of start-up within the Group, is quickly meeting favour of the United States’ marketers, and not only. The mail sector, by its very nature the most stable and consolidated within the Group, showed a significant increase of 11%, achieving EUR 9.4 million of turnover, increasing by almost EUR 1 million compared to the previous year. In fact, it mainly consists of annual fees subject to renewal unless cancelled, whose churn rate is more than offset by the acquisition of new customers and the up-selling activity with respect to existing customers, who are extremely loyal and sensitive to service quality. Professional Services or PSE suffered a reduction in the specific turnover related to the Globase platform, while recording significant growth rates in the case of the MailUp platform. Consolidated EBITDA reached EUR 2.9 million, 19.3% more than the previous year, also the pre-tax profit remained positive and equal to EUR 1.2 million, in addition to being slightly higher than 2016 (+EUR 75,000), despite the weighting of depreciation (+EUR 371,000) deriving from the large investments mainly focused on the MailUp platform and on the Big Data Analytics project, which went fully operational starting from 2017, in addition to the preparation costs of the new offices of the Cremona headquarters. The year’s net profit, after the provision for current and deferred taxes, is EUR 612,000 compared to EUR 812,000 in the previous period, penalized by the increased tax burden of EUR 275,000. It is noted that the Group does not use bank debt to finance operational management. The income statement is summarized below by business unit.

Resignation of the Executive Director Giandomenico Sica The Board of Directors informs that it has received a notice today from the Executive Director Giandomenico Sica with which he resigned from his position as member of the Board of Directors with immediate effect. Giandomenico Sica, explains the reasons for his resignation: “When I started working with MailUp, the company had consolidated financial statements with a production value of EUR 8 million, an EBITDA of EUR 0.8 million and it closed the financial year at break-even. At the end of this three-year cycle (2015-2017), today we approve consolidated financial statements that express a notable growth of the fundamentals, with a production value of EUR 27 million, an EBITDA of EUR 2.9 million and a company with strong profits. During these years MailUp, which in 2015 was already one of the main companies in Italy in the field of E-mail marketing, has become an international group (MailUp Group), known to be one of the leading players in Europe in the field of “data driven marketing technologies”. After successfully completing a new EUR 6 million collection of funds in July 2017, having set up a new investment course – examining about 1,000 companies and building a deal flow populated by over 100 potential target companies for new extraordinary transactions – and having facilitated the construction of a group that is now ready for the jump to the regulated market (Screen-based Stock Exchange, SST), I believe that my supporting role has reached its end. I think the time has come to give space to a new course that is able to meet the challenges that MailUp Group will face in this renewed role of technology multinational. I thank my colleagues on the Board of Directors and the staff with whom I have worked in these years and wish all the best of success!“. Nazzareno Gorni, CEO of MailUp, comments: “I thank Nico for the fruitful collaboration of these years. We wish him the best for his present and future projects.” It is recalled that Sica in his capacity as entrepreneur in the field of venture capital is director of several technological companies including DHH SpA (www.dhh.international), also listed on the Stock Exchange on the multilateral trading system “AIM Italia/Alternative Capital Market.” Allocation of the profit of MailUp S.p.A.
