The year 2022 highlighted the success of the redesign of our logistics process in the Aftermarket sector, carried out in 2021. The area showed a total sales growth of 12.6%, highlighting the positive evolution of business efficiency. This scenario translates into a total EBITDA for the Aftermarket area of 6.2 million Euros, compared to a value close to zero in 2021.

The year 2022 was marked by the positive evolution of Amplitude and Vitrum's results, whose EBITDA grew by 23.2% and 2,669.8% respectively - also highlighting Sotkon's absolute EBITDA of 2,049 thousand Euros, which represents 67% of Nors Ventures' EBITDA.

Sotkon

Sotkon is a company with several patented products, dedicated to the design, manufacture and sale of modular systems for recycling and collection of solid urban waste, through underground containers. Sotkon is present in several markets, namely Portugal, Spain and France.

The year 2022 was marked by Sotkon's strong investment in the commercial area, with the growth of the international distribution network which translated, already in 2022, into sales to new markets, such as the Croatian market and the Georgian market.

Sotkon showed a good financial performance - its turnover exceeded 10 million Euros and EBITDA was 2.0 million Euros. Despite representing a decrease in these indicators compared to 2021, we highlight the excellent performance and resilience shown by the company in a less favourable context of the buried container market.

With a view to the sustainability of its growth, Sotkon will continue to invest actively in research and development, evaluating new opportunities for collaboration with entities in the scientific and technological sector.

It will also focus on activities that promote its products and the visibility of the Sotkon brand in markets of strategic priority, in particular Portugal, Spain, France and Eastern Europe.

Sales growth translated into a 23.2% growth in Amplitude's EBITDAexcellent performance for the company after a 31.4% growth in 2021.
