The element that distinguishes the results of 2021 from the previous ones is the contribution of the financial profit to the gross profit: if in the previous years the financial activity generates costs, which were deducted from the operating result, generating a lower gross profit than the operational one, in 2021 the investments made in previous ones have borne yield – generating financial profits that have increased the profit generated from the current activity:RON 9.1 million as a financial profit, and a RON 7.3 million-worth operational profit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We believe that a successful investment activity can significantly enhance both the group\u2019s growth plan and, above all, generate a state of anti-fragility. The accounting regulations strictly stipulate how the investment results are accounted for, having the potential to sometimes generate significant fluctuations of these values \u201con paper\u201d, in a very different way from how investors naturally expect this activity to be accounted for by Profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some examples: the investment made by the Group in the Gecad Net company in 2017 cost RON 2.2 million, which I recovered from the sale of the Autodesk division to Graphein in 2021. We thus have recovered our investment and we still have a company that brings in revenues of RON 90 million and an operating profit of 5 million. From the point of view of the capital we have \u2018at risk\u2019 we could consider it an infinite return! A similar situation is encountered in the case of the investment in the Elian company, where the dividends received so far exceeded the value of the amount initially paid, but we continue to have a functional and profitable company.<\/p>\n

In the case of Softbinator, we recovered in 9 months two thirds of the amount paid in cash, and we continue to own 19% of a listed company, valued at RON 80 million. If the market value of CODE shares decreases over a certain quarter, it will be accounted for as a financial loss in that quarter, even if we do not sell any shares. On the other hand, if we analyse the situation of any investor in the personal portfolio – we paid approximately RON 1.35 million for our holding of CODE shares, so in fact any sale would be profitable.<\/p>\n

In the case of GRX, we paid a first tranche of 5 million RON to the founders, and we recovered from other investors almost RON 3.5 million, keeping another 60% of a company with RON 8 million consolidated income and RON 4 million profit. Our investment position is very solid instead, with very little downside and very much upside.<\/p>\n

One of the ideas encountered in the public space is that the results of 2021 are positively influenced by unique elements – one-off type. In the above we have shown that although any sale of assets is unrepeatable in itself, the fact that we have a continuous investment activity continuously generates opportunities, and strengthens and enhances the financial results. Within our group the activity of capital allocation has always been a strong differentiator, and we consider it to continue to be an important element in the future, even if not one with linear results.<\/p>\n

The following is worth mentioning with respect to the operational results:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
