Servizi Italia Group recorded a consolidated turnover amounting to Euro 62,912 thousand, up by 9.9% compared to the same period last year. The consolidated turnover has grown both in Italy (+5.3%) and Brazil (+4.6%); in Italy, the main contribution comes from the wash-hire sector, up by 12.1%, as an effect of the acquisition of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l, occurred on 7 July 2016; in Brazil the main influences come from the increase in turnover earned by the operative companies and from the revaluation of Real/Euro exchange rate, compared to the same period last year. It is also to underline an increase in linen and surgical instruments sterilization lines.
Consolidated EBITDA passed from Euro 16,504 thousand of the first quarter 2016 to Euro 17,720 thousand of the first quarter 2017, recording an increase of 7.4%. EBITDA has been positively influenced by the increase of revenues coming from wash-hire and sterilization lines, with a better containment in relative terms of operative costs such as utilities and third-party personnel costs; on the other side, a significant increase of labour costs, especially in the Brazilian area, negatively affected the item. This increase is mainly due to the effects of the inflation rate adjustments of the collective agreement of workers in the state of São Paulo, the inclusion of new labour force as a consequence of an increase of laundry services for the award of new contracts and the revaluation of the Real/Euro exchange rate.
The consolidated operating profit (EBIT) passed from Euro 5,206 thousand to Euro 4,343 thousand after recognising depreciation and amortisation of Euro 13,377 thousand, with an increase of 1.5%, compared to the relative incidence registered in the same period last year and determined by the increase of the amortization for linen as initial allocations of new contracts, the write-down of receivables and the amortization of customers portfolio emerged from the acquisition of the company Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l.
Profit before taxes rose from Euro 4,808 thousand to Euro 5,123 thousand, increasing by 6.6% in absolute value. Financial management shew a reduction of the relative load of net financial expenses compared to the same period of the previous year as a result of a reduction of rates charged on loans and an increase of the financial income due also to the recognition during the period of a positive foreign exchange difference for the reduction of the Turkish Lira/Euro exchange rate on 31 March 2017, compared to 31 December 2016.
The result is also positively influenced by the revaluation of shareholdings valued at equity, in particular the Turkish company Ankateks Turizm İnşaat Tekstil Temizleme Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd Şirketi.
Therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2017 close with net profit of Euro 4,136 thousand, recording an increase of 12.6% compared to Euro 3,673 thousand in the first quarter of 2016, also thanks to a decrease of tax rate incidence, passing from 23.6% in the first quarter of 2016 to 19.3% in the first quarter of 2017.
On 10 February 2017, the merger by incorporation of the 100% held subsidiary Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l. into Servizi Italia S.p.A. was finalised.

The estimation criteria used to prepare the Interim Report are basically the same as those applied in the Annual Financial Statements.
This Interim Report is approved by the Board of Directors on 12 May 2017.
The revenue from sales and services of the Servizi Italia Group is shown below divided by business line for the periods ending 31 March 2017 and 2016:
| (thousands of Euros) | 31 March 2017 | % | 31 March 2016 | % | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wash-hire | 47,987 | 76.3% | 42,827 | 74.8% | 12.0% |
| Linen sterilisation (STERIL B) | 4,898 | 7.8% | 4,707 | 8.2% | 4.1% |
| Surgical instrument sterilisation (STERIL C) | 10,027 | 15.9% | 9,706 | 17.0% | 3.3% |
| Revenues from sales | 62,912 | 100.0% | 57,240 | 100.0% | 9.9% |
Revenues from wash-hire services have increased compared to the same period last year, passing from Euro 42,827 thousand in the first quarter of 2016 to Euro 47,987 thousand in the first quarter 2017. In relative terms, comparing the data to total sales and service revenues, wash-hire as at 31 March 2017 amounted to 76.3%, up by 12% compared to first quarter 2016. The wash-hire line has been positively influenced by increased revenues in the Brazilian area (up by 47.7%), an increase coming from new awards and from the revaluation of Real/Euro exchange rate in first quarter 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The growth of revenues in the Italian area comes from the acquisition of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l.
Revenues from linen sterilisation recorded an increase by 4.1%, amounting to Euro 4,898 thousand, with an incidence of 7.8% on total turnover. This increase in revenue has been positively affected by the start of the contract with "Ente per la Gestione Accentrata dei Servizi Condivisi" (EGAS) of Udine for the supply of disposable textiles.
The turnover from the surgical instrument sterilization recorded a growth equal to 3.3% compared to the
same period in 2016. This increase is mainly attributable to the gradual increase in turnover from customers such as the Careggi Hospital in Florence, the ASST Valle Olona for the hospital in Busto Arsizio (VA), the University Hospital "G. Martino" in Messina and the A.S.U.I. of Udine.
The table below shows revenues from sales and services of the Servizi Italia Group by geographical area, for the periods ending on 31 March 2017 and 2016:

Servizi Italia Group - Interim Report as at 31 March 2017 Page 17 of 23
The increase in the movements of equity investments mainly results from the increase in the share already held by Tintoria Lombarda Sanitary Division S.r.l. in Brixia S.r.l., a facility management company active in the Hospital District of ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia, with subsequent increase in turnover coming from that contract and from the subscription of a new tranche of capital increase in the company Finanza & Progetti S.p.A.

The increase in "Prepayments" is mainly due to rent and insurance premiums, whose record was made at the beginning of the year. The item "Guarantee deposits receivable" is related to energy utilities and rents.
This item decreased by Euro 655 thousand compared to 31 December 2016. This decrease was mainly associated with the use of cash in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda to finance group growth in Brazil.
As at 31 March 2017, shareholders' equity totalled Euro 142,536 thousand (including Euro 821 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) compared to Euro 137,756 thousand (including Euro 545 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) as at 31 December 2016.

The table below provides a breakdown of other non-current liabilities.
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2017 |
as at 31 December 2016 |
|---|---|---|

| Other payables | 1,376 | 94 |
| Total | 5,612 | 4,172 |
The increase compared to 31 December 2016 results from the recognition of the debt for the acquisition of the stakes of Brixia S.r.l. and from the effects of the revaluation of Real/Euro exchange rate, which increased the debt value for put options connected to the purchase of the remaining 49.9% of Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A. and Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A.
The item increases by Euro 4,605 thousand, passing from Euro 48,031 thousand as at 31 December 2016 to Euro 52,636 as at 31 march 2017. This increase results from the repayment of loan instalments falling due in the period.

Purchases of raw materials and consumables increased, passing from Euro 5,827 thousand as at 31 March 2016 to Euro 6,550 thousand as at 31 March 2017. This increase is mainly attributable to a greater purchase of disposable items and procedure kits for supplies to new customers.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2017 | as at 31 March 2016 |
|---|---|---|
| External laundering and other industrial services | (5,386) | (4,726) |
| Travel and transport | (3,624) | (2,998) |
| Utilities | (3,047) | (3,056) |

| Other services | (383) | (266) |
| Total | (18,934) | (17,348) |
The item "Costs for services" registers an increase of Euro 1,586 thousand compared to the same period last year, while the relative incidence on revenues is decreasing by 0.2%. This increase suffers the acquisition in the Italian area of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l., occurred on 7 July 2016.
Costs for external laundering and other industrial services passed from Euro 4,726 thousand as at 31 March 2016 to Euro 5,386 thousand as at 31 March 2017. The increase in this item was essentially due to an increase in the use of the external laundry service and to an increase in wardrobe services for customers of former Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l.
Costs for travel and transport register an increase by Euro 626 thousand compared to 31 March 2016, as an effect of the externalisation of transports at the Brazilian company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A. and subsequent reorganization of productive logistics and increase of service because of the awarding of new contracts.
Utilities costs recorded a decrease, from Euro 3,056 thousand to Euro 3,047 thousand. This decrease is due to a reduction of gas costs, thanks to a renegotiation of prices, and to a consumption containment that was possible thanks to wider productive efficiencies.
Consortium and sales costs passed from Euro 2,006 thousand as at 31 March 2016 to Euro 2,118 thousand as at 31 March 2017. The increase in the item is mainly due to higher allocated overheads received by ATI (Temporary Association of Companies) and to the increase in consortia percentages related to the service at the Azienda Toscana Sud Est for Arezzo hospital.
The item "Use of third-party assets" registers a decrease of Euro 120 thousand. This reduction is mainly due to new contracts with some customers, which do not include the supply of anti-decubitus mattresses.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2017 | as at 31 March 2016 |

| Temporary work | (498) | (326) |
| Social security charges | (4,587) | (3,994) |
| Employee severance indemnity | (813) | (711) |
| Other costs | (64) | (57) |
| Total | (20,337) | (18,117) |
Personnel expense passed from Euro 18,117 thousand as at 31 March 2016 to Euro 20,337 thousand as at 31 March 2017. The Brazilian area registers an increase of labour cost, mainly attributable to the effects of the inflation rate adjustments of the collective agreement of workers in the State of São Paulo, to the inclusion of new workforce after the awarding of new contracts and subsequent increase in laundry services and to the revaluation of the Real/Euro exchange rate.
The table below shows the average breakdown of personnel:
| 31 March 2017 | 31 March 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Executives | 14 | 14 |
| Middle managers | 26 | 19 |
| White-collar staff | 202 | 192 |
| Blue-collar staff | 2,943 | 2,891 |
| Total | 3,185 | 3,116 |
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2017 | as at 31 March 2016 |
|---|---|---|
| Amortisation of intangible assets | (496) | (326) |
| Depreciation of property, plant and equipment | (12,513) | (10,866) |
| Write-downs and provisions | (368) | (106) |
| Total | (13,377) | (11,298) |
The variation in amortisation of intangible assets is due to the impact of customers' portfolio of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l. The increase of the item "Depreciation of property, plant and equipment" passes from Euro 10,866 thousand to Euro 12,513 thousands and it has to be mainly related to investments in linen.
The increase in item "Write-downs and provisions" is due to the higher provision for impairment loss of credits due from customers.
The increase of Euro 627 thousand in net financial debt as at 31 March 2017 compared to 31 December 2016 resulted from more payments made to suppliers.
In particular, examining the individual items, there is a decrease of Euro 655 thousand in cash and cash equivalents in current accounts at banks compared to 31 December 2016 essentially as a result of the decrease in liquidity in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda, which has been used to finance group growth in Brazil.
Financial receivables are in line with 31 December 2016.
Current payables to banks and other lenders increased by Euro 4,605 thousand, while non-current payables to banks and other lenders recorded a decrease of Euro 4,695 thousand as a result of the repayment of loan instalments falling due in the period.
