“In the first half of 2024” - stated Mario Rizzante, Chairman of Reply - “we have experienced a positive trend, both in terms of revenue and profitability. These achievements were possible thanks to the leadership gained in the two main directions of technological transformation: artificial intelligence and cloud computing.”
“The strength of Reply” - continued Mario Rizzante - “has always been its ability to interpret innovation by making it relevant to the needs of companies. From this perspective, the first six months of 2024 were characterized by significant development in our main lines of offering. In particular, we witnessed a strong growth in demand from our customers for a new class of objects and services natively designed to integrate the most advanced artificial intelligence solutions onboard. This new way of interpreting artificial intelligence requires companies to pay great attention both in rethinking the underlying data models and in designing new architectures and conversational interfaces capable of fully exploiting its potential in complete security.”
“Being able to guide the growing spread of artificial intelligence” - concluded Mario Rizzante - “along with awareness of its potential and associated risks, is certainly the main challenge for the near future. In this scenario, Reply positions itself as a highly technological player capable of supporting its clients in creating the new digital economy.”
The Board of Directors of Reply has also approved the proposal to submit to the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company, scheduled for September 17, 2024, on first call, the amendment of the Articles of Association, in order to allow, among other things, the enhancement of the increased voting system, in line with new legal provisions.
With the introduction of a reinforced increased voting mechanism, compared to the one already adopted, Reply intends to encourage a stable capital structure capable of supporting long-term growth in a highly competitive market.
The manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports, Dr Giuseppe Veneziano, states in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the company's records, ledgers and accounting entries.

The Decode agent answers natural-language questions about cryptoasset addresses and their exposure in seconds, and returns the evidence behind every answer. Compliance and investigations teams need answers to questions nobody planned for. Getting them out of the data is now a specialist skill, so the questions wait for someone who has it, or go unasked. Meanwhile illicit actors move at machine speed, and agents are starting to sit on both sides of a payment. General-purpose AI assistants can produce an answer. They cannot show where it came from.
