SUBSTRATE ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE SOCIEDAD ANONIMA

("Substrate AI" or the "Company")

FORECAST UPDATE

Substrate AI (AQUIS: SAI/SAI.B) announces that, due to the new acquisitions made by the Company during the last half of 2023, the Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 22 December  2023, approved new projections for 2023 based on its organic growth as a result of the development of its current businesses and inorganic growth with the incorporation of the new acquisitions into the Group.

In this regard, the projections approved for the 2023 financial year are as follows:

 Revenue

Consolidated turnover is projected to increase due to the integration of new businesses acquired during the current year, in addition to the organic growth projected for 2023.

Total revenues are also growing due to the increase in work on the development of new solutions and products in the field of R&D.

Expense

Personnel expenditure is significantly reduced compared to previous forecasts due to the Company's ability to generate more revenue with lower expense.

On the other hand, the rest of the operating expenses exceed those previously published in these forecasts, taking into account, above all, the cost of acquisitions of new businesses and the sharp increase in the development of AI products and solutions.

EBITDA

In terms of EBITDA, despite the increase in revenues and the reduction in personnel expenses, EBITDA is projected to worsen compared to previous projections due to the increase in other operating expenses derived from new acquisitions.

Amortizations

Finally, it should be noted that the new projections include a lower amortization due to the impairment of goodwill recorded in 2022, which will allow the Group to obtain a positive result earlier than expected.
