The profit before tax, from January to March, was €59.4 million (€47.6 million in 2021), equal to 13.5% of the turnover.
The net financial position of the Group on 31 March 2022 is also positive by 279.7 million. The net financial position on 31 December 2021 was positive for €193.2 million.

Finally, the net financial position generated a positive balance of EUR 120.4 million.
“The first quarter of 2022 – stated Mario Rizzante, Reply’s Chairman – was very positive, both in terms of revenue growth and margin. These results were achieved thanks to our exclusive focus on new technological niches and the high efficiency of our network model. The combination of these two factors has allowed us to continue to grow, despite the significant uncertainty of recent months.”
“Today, – continues Mario Rizzante – the tail end of the pandemic, together with the dramatic events in Ukraine, are heavily influencing economic trends, defining a market dynamic that will depend mainly on how the crisis on Europe’s eastern borders evolves.”
Mario Rizzante concludes: “For the time being, the future, therefore, remains uncertain. In any case, the process of transformation towards a new digital economy, which began in 2020, cannot be stopped and opens up opportunities for growth and development for companies like ours. High-speed communication software infrastructures, e-commerce, new immersive digital experiences and a strong acceleration towards automation and green tech represent the key elements of the economy of the coming years.”
