Group information and business performance

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.

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:

Cash and cash equivalents

5.4 Notes on the main changes in the income statement

Raw materials and consumables

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.

Costs for services

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)
Administrative costs (621) (520)
Consortium and sales costs (2,118) (2,006)
Personnel expense (593) (567)
Maintenance (1,316) (1,243)
Use of third-party assets (1,846) (1,966)
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.

Personnel expense

The item is broken down as follows:

(thousands of Euros) as at 31 March 2017 as at 31 March 2016
Costs for directors´ fees (391) (365)
Salaries and wages (13,984) (12,664)
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

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment

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.

5.5 Net financial position

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.

The net financial position below has been prepared in accordance with CESR, now ESMA, recommendation of 10 February 2005, and reports the value of "Other current financial liabilities" in "Other current financial payables" and the value of "Other non-current financial liabilities" in "Other non-current payables".
