In the first quarter of 2015, Servizi Italia Group recorded an increase in consolidated turnover, with revenues from sales and services amounting to a total of Euro 58,098 thousand, up by 1.5% compared to the interim financial statements as at 31 March 2014.
The top-line growth in the first quarter of 2015 was particularly due to the Brazilian area, risen by 14.2% compared to the same period of the previous year , equal to 9.8% of the total revenues of the Group, the start of new contracts, the increase in turnover from existing contracts in the Italian area and the consolidation of the subsidiary Si.Gi. Servizi Ospedalieri S.r.l. (sole shareholder company), over which control was obtained on 28 October 2014.
Consolidated EBITDA rose by 1.2% from Euro 15,970 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 to Euro 16,168 thousand in the first quarter of 2015 due to top-line growth and raw material cost reduction, which were partially offset by a slight rise in personnel expense caused mostly by the recognition of the contractual tranche established in the industry national collective labour agreement. The EBITDA margin remained basically stable with respect to the same period of the previous year.
The consolidated operating profit (EBIT) decreased by 7.6% from Euro 5,857 thousand to Euro 5,409 thousand after recognising depreciation, amortisation and impairment of Euro 10,759 thousand. In relative terms, the ratio between EBIT and revenue from sales and services decreased by 0.9%. In the quarters presented for comparison, in 2015 there was an increase in the impact of depreciation, amortisation and impairment by one percentage point. In particular, that increase took place in the Brazilian area due to the rise in depreciation of linens and new production lines, compared to a quarter which, despite growth, is more impacted by seasonal turnover factors, unlike as occurs in Italy. In Italy, depreciation rose particularly with respect to surgical instruments.
Profit before tax decreased by 7.6% in absolute value from Euro 4,802 thousand to Euro 4,436 thousand. Financial management revealed a reduction compared to the same period of the previous year in net financial expense, equal to 1.7% in relation to turnover (1.8% in relation to turnover in 2014) due to the drop in rates on loans.
Therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2015 close with net profit of Euro 3,111 thousand, up by 9.8% compared to Euro 2,834 thousand in the first quarter of 2014, also thanks to the decreasing impact of the tax rate.
On 20 January 2015, the Company announced that the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the share capital of the company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A. ("Lavsim") had been completed, already invested in as from 2 July 2012 by Servizi Italia S.p.A. via the subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.
On 25 February 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement for the wash-hire service with the Trento Province Health Services Authority, for a total of around Euro 15.1 million. The agreement has a duration of 52 months, renewable for a further 12, and includes the price review as per the ISTAT index.
On 26 February 2015, the Company disclosed that it had drawn up the deeds for the merger via incorporation of the wholly-owned subsidiaries Si.Gi. Servizi Ospedalieri S.r.l. (sole shareholder company) and Lavanderia Industriale Z.B.M. S.p.A. within Servizi Italia S.p.A. The statutory efficacy of the merger will apply as from 1 April 2015.

The revenue from sales and services of Servizi Italia Group is shown below divided by business line for the periods ending 31 March 2015 and 2014.
| (thousands of euros) | 31 March 2015 | % | 31 March 2014 | % | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wash-hire | 43,912 | 75.6% | 43,337 | 75.7% | 1.3% |
| Linen sterilisation (STERIL B) | 5,049 | 8.7% | 5,239 | 9.1% | -3.6% |
| Surgical instrument sterilisation (STERIL C) | 9,137 | 15.7% | 8,677 | 15.2% | 5.3% |
| Revenues from sales | 58,098 | 100.0% | 57,253 | 100.0% | 1.5% |
In the first quarter of 2015, revenues from wash-hire services increased from Euro 43,337 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 to Euro 43,912 thousand. This service accounts for 75.6% of total revenue from sales and services as at 31 March 2015, basically in line with the same period of the previous year (75.7% as at 31 March 2014). In absolute value, top-line growth in the wash-hire segment is largely from new contracts such as Frosinone LHA, Turin 3 LHA, Local Health Unit no. 3 Alto - Collinare - Medio Friuli and I.N.M.I. - Lazzaro Spallanzani, the increase in existing contracts (such as Niguarda Ca' Granda Hospital in Milan and Local Health Unit 18 Rovigo), the consolidation of Si.Gi. Servizi Ospedalieri S.r.l. (sole shareholder company) and the increase in revenue from the Brazilian companies (Euro 5,673 thousand as at 31 March 2015 compared to Euro 4,968 thousand as at 31 March 2014).
Revenue from linen sterilisation services decreased by 3.6% to Euro 5,049 thousand, accounting for 8.7% of total sales. This decrease in revenue was caused by the decrease in turnover from customers such as Local Health Unit 4 Vicenza, Legnano Hospital, Parma Local Health Unit (LHU) and Careggi Hospital in Florence, despite the increase in turnover from customers such as ESTAV Centro, Udine Hospital and the Modena LHA.
There was 5.3% growth in turnover from surgical instrument sterilisation compared to the same quarter of last year. This increase is mainly attributable to the gradual increase in turnover from customers such as the Udine University Hospital, Trieste Hospital and Careggi Hospital in Florence.

The translation difference regards exchange rate fluctuations for the Brazilian companies Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A., Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A., Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A. and SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.
Investments in property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2015 amount to Euro 8,950 thousand, including Euro 6,811 thousand for linens, Euro 859 thousand for assets under construction relating to returnable assets under construction at the end of the quarter (of this, Euro 625 thousand is for investments made for the new sterilisation centre at G. Martino University Hospital in Messina and Euro 93 thousand is for investments in equipment, plant and machinery by the Brazilian subsidiaries Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A. and SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda), Euro 686 thousand for equipment and surgical instruments and Euro 475 thousand for plant and machinery.
Furthermore, reclassifications of Euro 931 thousand have been recognised for assets under construction, primarily relating to the launch of the most recent specialisations for the start of use of instruments at the Santa Maria della Misericordia Hospital in Udine (Euro 638 thousand).
Trade receivables amount to Euro 73,208 thousand as at 31 March 2015, down by Euro 2,961 thousand compared to 31 December 2014. Trade receivables decreased partially due to the application of regulations on split payment for the sale of assets and the provision of services to the public administration, introduced in Italy with the 2015 Stability Law. On 26 March 2015, Euro 11,232 thousand in trade receivables were transferred without recourse to Credem Factor S.p.A. for a price of Euro 11,166 thousand. During the quarter, Euro 3,632 thousand in trade receivables were also transferred to Mediofactoring S.p.A. for a price of Euro 3,612 thousand, and trade receivables due from public customers were transferred to Unicredit Factoring S.p.A., including those based in the Lazio region totalling Euro 2,469 thousand for a price of Euro 2,448 thousand and those based in other regions totalling Euro 1,894 thousand for a price of Euro 1,885 thousand.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of euros) | as at 31 March 2015 | as at 31 December 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Due from others | 4,378 | 5,502 |
| Prepayments | 1,604 | 826 |
| Guarantee deposits receivable | 69 | 69 |
| Accrued income | 44 | - |
| Total | 6,095 | 6,397 |
Other current assets decreased from Euro 6,397 thousand as at 31 December 2014 to Euro 6,095 thousand as at 31 March 2015. The item includes guarantee deposits relating to energy utilities and rentals. Receivables due from others decreased since 31 December 2014 due to the decrease in the receivable of the subsidiaries Se.Sa.Tre. S.c.r.l. and San Martino 2000 S.c.r.l. due from the consortium Servizi Ospedalieri S.p.A. Prepayments increased primarily as a result of rentals and insurance premiums that were recognised at the beginning of the year.
This item increased by Euro 2,717 thousand compared to 31 December 2014. This increase was mainly associated with the increase in cash in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda pending the use of those resources to finance group growth in Brazil.
As at 31 March 2015, shareholders' equity totalled Euro 113,688 thousand (including Euro 644 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) compared to Euro 111,588 thousand (including Euro 1,702 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) as at 31 December 2014.
The Company held 218,826 treasury shares, equivalent to approximately 0.77% of the share capital, as at 31 March 2015. The value of treasury shares was Euro 983 thousand. Their nominal amount, of Euro 219 thousand, was classified as a decrease to share capital, and the value exceeding the nominal amount, totalling Euro 764 thousand, was recognised as a reduction in the share premium reserve.
Non-current payables to banks and other lenders decreased from Euro 28,258 thousand as at 31 December 2014 to Euro 27,550 thousand in the first quarter of 2015. This decrease of Euro 708 thousand resulted from the repayment of loan instalments falling due during the period, the new 5-year Euro 10,000 thousand loan taken out from Banca Carige Italia S.p.A. on 31 March and the early repayment on 31 March of Euro 8,058 thousand on the loan taken out from Banca del Mezzogiorno - MedioCredito Centrale S.p.A. on 12 November 2013.
The decrease of Euro 353 thousand was due to the discounting of the debt recognised under the put/call option agreements with the non-controlling shareholders of Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A. and Vida Lavanderias Especializada S.A.
Current payables to banks and other lenders increased by Euro 4,410 thousand from Euro 42,791 thousand as at 31 December 2014 to Euro 47,201 thousand in the first quarter of 2015. This increase resulted from a precise financial policy enacted by the group in order to decrease financial expenses, since short-term lines are not as costly as medium-term lines.
Trade payables increased from Euro 64,675 thousand as at 31 December 2014 to Euro 66,340 thousand as at 31 March 2015 due to payment extensions obtained from the main suppliers.
Current tax payables amounted to Euro 1,903 thousand as at 31 March 2015 (Euro 1,023 thousand as at 31 December 2014). The increase in the balance due is a result of the provision recognised during the period for IRES and IRAP tax payables.
With the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2014, the vesting period of the LTI Cash 2012-2013-2014 Plan was completed. On 12 March 2015, the Remuneration Committee provided indepth disclosure and support to the Board of Directors, highlighting the achievement of the performance target and therefore proposing the disbursement of the bonus to the Beneficiaries under the terms and as per the formalities established in the regulations. The proposal was approved by the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors, in fact decreeing the closure of said plan and disbursement to the beneficiaries of Euro 1,050 thousand.
The item is broken down as follows:

- | 5,722 |
| S.A. | 71 | 77 |
| Total | 71 | 5,799 |
The change in this item arose from the payment on 16 January 2015 of the value relating to the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the share capital of the company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A., in which Servizi Italia S.p.A. has held an equity investment since 2 July 2012 through the subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.
The table below provides a breakdown of other current liabilities.
| (thousands of euros) | as at 31 March 2015 | as at 31 December 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued liabilities | 16 | 12 |
| Deferred income | 1,066 | 964 |
| Due to social security and welfare institutions | 3,964 | 4,937 |
| Other payables | 12,898 | 18,106 |
| Total | 17,944 | 24,019 |
The item decreased by Euro 6,075 thousand from Euro 24,019 thousand as at 31 December 2014 to Euro 17,944 thousand as at 31 March 2015. This difference was caused by the decrease in amounts due to social security and welfare institutions and the decrease in the VAT payable for invoices issued to the public administration due to the application as of 1 January 2015 of the split payment regulation introduced in Italy with the 2015 Stability Law.
Acquisitions of raw materials and consumables remained basically unchanged, down from Euro 6,193 thousand at 31 March 2014 to Euro 6,158 thousand at 31 March 2015.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of euros) | as at 31 March 2015 | as at 31 March 2014 |

| Other services | (273) | (265) |
| Total | (18,245) | (17,942) |
The change in the scope of consolidation in 2014 as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the company Si.Gi. Servizi Ospedalieri S.r.l. (sole shareholder company) impacted the item total by Euro 124 thousand
Costs for external laundering and other industrial services decreased from Euro 5,011 thousand as at 31 March 2014 to Euro 4,945 thousand as at 31 March 2015. The decrease in this item was essentially due to a decrease in the use of the external laundry service, which was partially offset by an increase in the linen store service for new customers such as the Monza Brianza Foundation, Local Health Unit no. 3 Alto - Collinare - Medio Friuli and Niguarda Ca' Granda Hospital in Milan, as well as the increase in the service at existing customers such as the Reggio Emilia Hospital and the Reggio Emilia Local Health Unit.
Travel and transport costs increased by Euro 55 thousand due to the redefinition of the Group's production logistics and the new services provided for the customers Frosinone LHA and I.N.M.I. - Lazzaro Spallanzani.
Administrative costs rose from Euro 655 thousand as at 31 March 2014 to Euro 755 thousand as at 31 March 2015 due basically to higher legal expenses including those incurred by SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda for the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil Consortium and sales costs decreased from Euro 2,180 thousand as at 31 March 2014 to Euro 2,159 thousand as at 31 March 2015. This item was down primarily due to lower charge-backs of costs received for the temporary joint consortia working with the customers LHA AL of Alessandria, San Giovanni Addolorata Hospital in Rome and LHA 8 Arezzo.
Maintenance increased by Euro 158 thousand due to greater maintenance expenses at the surgical instrument sterilisation centres and for machinery (particularly in Brazil where plant and machinery were installed as a result of investments made, which increased maintenance expenses by Euro 67 thousand).
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of euros) | as at 31 March 2015 | as at 31 March 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Costs for directors´ fees | (253) | (259) |
| Salaries and wages | (12,951) | (12,381) |
| Temporary work | (369) | (596) |
| Social security charges | (4,321) | (4,106) |
| Employee severance indemnity | (594) | (636) |
| Other costs | (11) | (10) |
| Total | (18,499) | (17,988) |
Personnel expense increased from Euro 17,988 thousand as at 31 March 2014 to Euro 18,499 thousand as at 31 March 2015. This item rose with respect to the same period of the previous year as a result of the increase in wages and salaries as established in the national collective labour agreement as of January 2015, the hiring of new personnel at the surgical instrument sterilisation centres in Brescia and Udine and growth of Euro 171 thousand in the personnel expenses of Brazilian companies.
The table below shows the average breakdown of personnel:
| 31 March 2015 | 31 March 2014 | |
|---|---|---|
| Executives | 12 | 11 |
| Middle managers | 19 | 21 |
| White-collar staff | 179 | 175 |
| Blue-collar staff | 2,813 | 2,779 |
| Total | 3,023 | 2,986 |
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of euros) | as at 31 March 2015 | as at 31 March 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Amortisation of intangible assets | (213) | (191) |
| Depreciation of property, plant and equipment | (10,452) | (9,782) |
| Impairment of receivables | (94) | (140) |
| Total | (10,759) | (10,113) |
Amortisation of intangible assets increased 11.5% due primarily to the implementation of increasingly innovative and advanced software. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment rose by Euro 670 thousand mainly as a result of the increase in depreciation of surgical instruments (Euro 154 thousand), the increase in depreciation of linen for the Brazilian company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A. (Euro 226 thousand) and the increase in depreciation of plant and machinery of the Brazilian company Maxlav Lavanderia Especializada S.A. (Euro 61 thousand). Impairment of receivables reduced as a result of the lower impact of the impairment of receivables for arrears interest due to higher collections of trade receivables.
The increase of Euro 987 thousand in net financial debt as at 31 March 2015 compared to 31 December 2014 resulted from the payment made for the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the share capital of Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A., amounting to Euro 6,094 thousand, calculated based on the exchange rate of 3.0357 at the payment date of 16 January 2015.
In particular, examining the individual items, there was an increase of Euro 2,717 thousand in cash and cash equivalents in current accounts at banks compared to 31 December 2014 essentially as a result of the increase in liquidity in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda, which will be used to finance group growth in Brazil.
Financial receivables basically remained stable with respect to 31 December 2014, while there was an increase in current payables to banks and other lenders of Euro 4,410 thousand and a decrease in noncurrent payables to banks and other lenders of Euro 707 thousand as a result of a precise financial policy implemented by the group in order to decrease financial costs, as short-term lines are less costly than medium-term lines.
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".
