3. FOCUS AREAS FOR THE FUTURE OF PRYSMIAN
• Europe has recently confirmed €26bn investments in new offshore wind farms
• The EU Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy (ORES) has set a goal of 300 GW by 2050, 25x
more than today
• The energy transition is therefore becoming a reality, as demonstrated also by the
electrification of cars, decarbonization of cities and countries are shutting down fossil fuel
and nuclear facilities to accommodate sustainable energy sources
Prysmian capabilities in the Offshore Wind Farm field: developing new solutions to enable the energy transition
• The expected development of floating offshore wind farms should also boost the demand for
dynamic cables – resulting in a highly promising new market in the horizon of 2025-2030
• Increasingly stringent environmental requirements have also resulted in our investments in
copper technology as an alternative sustainable material to replace lead
• Numerous regions are starting up their first offshore wind projects, such as Far East and
USA. Hence, offshore wind is no longer limited to Europe, but on the contrary it is expanding
overseas
The growth in energy generation brings to a growth in interconnections
• Invested extensive efforts to being able to deal with the complexity of turnkey projects, not
only with regard to project management to ensure flawless execution, but also in areas such
as engineering, having the right setup in production facilities, and frame agreements with
dedicated critical main suppliers.
• We are actively monitoring a number of topics that will also affect the wind market. These
include use of hydrogen, vast generation islands, and the combination of wind plus solar
Increased Focus on Turnkey projects

Prysmian Group established Corporate Hangar, an accelerator focused on supporting the Group in its open
innovation goals. Corporate Hangar has incubated 3 start ups: Alesea, a virtual assistant for cable management;
Kablee, a digital business development tool for cable makers that aims at bringing data connectivity to rural areas
and creates a marketplace for scrap cables; and Cultifutura, that develops vertical farming solutions for offices. In
2020, over 5000 Alesea tracking devices have been deployed around the world; Kablee’s e-commerce platform has
supported the first transactions; and Cultifutura has successfully tested its proprietary IoT system for vertical
farming
technology.
5. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND CABLE INDUSTRY
TRENDS
Extremely
Weak Market
in 2020
The global cable market recorded a major contraction in 2020, mainly due to the Covid-19
pandemic
China is expected to be the only major country whose cable market, in line with GDP trends will show
positive growth in 2020
In Europe, the cable market has shrunk significantly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic
There was a similar trend in North America, with a steep plunge in Mexico, particularly
reflecting a construction sector downturn
Optical
Cables
Market
• Demand dropped sharply in all major regions except the US, where optical fibre cable
consumption remained steady year-on-year.
In Europe, among the larger markets, only the UK and Germany reported marginal growth
in demand for optical cables in 2020, thanks to vibrant FTTH programs driven by both
private and public investment.
The biggest drops were recorded in South European countries, where the major operators implemented
an aggressive destocking policy that produced a significant reduction in their optical cable
procurement estimates, in turn leading to a steep market contraction.
Submarine
Cables
Market
Market demand for submarine Power cables continued to show signs of recovery during the year: several
bids are now at an advanced stage of the tendering process and are expected to be awarded in the next
few months.
The market is expected to grow over the medium term, especially the Offshore Wind segment, fostered
by the continuous reduction in electricity generation costs
In the High Voltage underground business, the HVAC market was largely stable in Europe, while reporting growth in North
America but persistently soft demand in Southeast Asia, which having already turned down in 2019 was exacerbated by
the impact of Covid-19.
In the HVDC market, typically for interconnectors, tendering activities for major underground power lines in Germany
reached their conclusion, with Prysmian Group being awarded a substantial share of all the projects concerned, with a
total value of over Euro 1.8 billion.

• COVID-19 PILLARS: “PEOPLE FIRST”, PROTECTION OF BUSINESS,
INNOVATION/DIGITALISATION
• Cost efficiencies at the annual level expected to amount to about €100 million.
• “People First” entailed increased investment in health and safety
(+29% to €17 million), in the massive supply of medical equipment
and the carrying out of tests and analyses to detect contagions, in
the redefinition of procedures for the safe use of workplaces, and in
the extensive use of remote working.
• The Group has confirmed its ambition to be an energy and
digitalization transition enabler. From the flagship 525 kV P-Laser
cable to fiber and optical cable innovations like Sirocco, the cable
with the highest fiber count, and the submarine power cable for
record-depth installation up to 3,000 m, the Group has strengthened
its commitment to technological innovation.
• There was also an important focus on digitalizing its manufacturing
processes. Putting health and safety first allowed the Group to
ensure supply chain and business continuity. The operations at
production sites never dropped below 80%, thus maintaining the
ability to serve customers nearly unaltered (on time delivery
exceeded 94%). The Group also promptly implemented a robust cost
containment plan and measures to protect its cash generation
capacity

High-voltage market development
Significant market increase in 2020
NKT
Solutions Applications Serv. & Acc.
Notable order wins in 2020
NKT’s total high-voltage order intake in 2020 amounted to EUR 2.3bn and wasdriven
by five large DC projects
The value of project awards in the high-voltage power cable market wassignificantly
higher in 2020 than in previous years. Management estimates that the total award
level in the market (addressable high-voltage power cable projects larger than EUR
5m each) amounted to around EUR 6bn
The majority of these project awards were DC technology, predominantly relatedto
interconnector power cable projects and offshore wind export power cable projects
NKT expects the value of relevant new high-voltage project awards to be more than
EUR 3bn in 2021. This expectation is subject to uncertainty as the pipeline includesa
number of large projects with no fixed award date. The prospective order awards are
expected to continuously improve the supply and demandsituation

Editor's Notes
Prysmian closed 2020 with revenues of € 10.02 billion, showing an organic change of -10.3%. Ebitda amounted to 781 million (compared to 907 million in 2019) including net charges related to corporate reorganisations, net non-recurring charges and other net non-operating charges of 59 million. The operating result fell from 569 to 353 million. Finally, the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to 178 million compared to 292 million in the previous year. The efforts to protect the cash generation capacity rewarded the group which reached record levels in 2020, with a Free Cash Flow of € 375 million (€ 487 million excluding the cash out for Antitrust), above the guidance. In light of this performance, the board of directors decided to propose the distribution of a unitary dividend of 0.50 euro per share, for a total amount of approximately 132 million. The coupon will be decided by the shareholders' meeting, called for next April 28th. The dividend, if approved, will be payable starting May 26, with record date May 25 and detachment date May 24.
