  • In 3Q 2022, Revenues from the Foreign Exhibition business amounted to Euro 2.7 million, recording an increase of Euro 2.4m compared to 3Q 2021
  • 7 exhibitions were held in the quarter with a total of 118.370 sqm occupied
  • In September, the activity of Fiera Milano in Brazil restarted with 3 trade fairs: Fesqua (wood, metallurgy, architecture, building materials), Ebrats (surface treatments) and Reatech (rehabilitation and accessibility technologies)
  • Three exhibitions were held in China during the quarter, including the Chengdu Motor Show, which alone occupied a total of 83,875 exhibition square meters.

  • In addition, Fiera Milano is also working at an institutional level in order to further encourage the internationalization of companies. In July it opened a representative office at the Delegation of the Lombardy Region in Brussels, thanks to which it will be able to further implement stakeholder engagement activities with the European institutions. The capital of Belgium, in addition to being home to most of the institutions, also has a strategic position at the fair level as it is the headquarters of EMECA, the association that represents the most important European exhibition centers, including Fiera Milano

  • More than 10 congress events took place in 3Q 2022 (of which 6 events related to conferences with related exhibition area).
  • The Revenues of the Congress business in 3Q 2022 amounted to Euro 11.8 million, an increase of Euro 2.4 million compared to 2021.

The main congress events hosted in 3Q 2022 were ESHRE 38th Annual Meeting (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology), EADV Congress 2022 (European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology), ESCRS 2022 (European Society Of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons)
  • Signed a nine-year agreement with Allianz for the acquisition of the naming rights of the Piazzale Carlo Magno congress center in Milan, which has been renamed Allianz MiCo. The new partnership gives MiCo-Milano Convention Center, an even greater international attractiveness thanks to the strength of the Allianz network
  • Fiera Milano Congressi will manage the new Turin Congress Centre (5,000 seats), to be built on the site of the former Westinghouse factory. Completion expected in 2024/25.

NINE MONTHS RESULTS

C D

Revenues for the first 9 months of 2022: from Euro 39.9m to Euro 161.7m, an improvement of Euro 121.8m: A

EBITDA for the first 9 months of 2022: goes from Euro -7.0m to Euro 49.9m, an improvement of Euro 56.9m: E

In relation to the exhibition sector, this effect was partially offset by the presence in H1 2021 of the benefit deriving from the activation of the Salary Integration Fund (FIS) as well as the negative result of the joint venture held under joint control with the partner Deutsche MESSE AG Deutsche MESSE AG which in H1 2022 did not schedule any events in China due to Covid-19 restrictions. Furthermore, the 3Q 2021 was positively impacted by the non-recurring income of Euro 10m disbursed on 21 July by SMEST

Costs for services: increased in relation to the greater volume of activity related to the resumption of exhibition activities in presence B

Personnel costs: increased if compared to the 2021 cost benefit related to the Salary Integration Fund (FIS)

Other income: decreased compared to 2021 which included Euro 10m of SIMEST non-recurring income

Financial income and expenses: greater weight of financial expenses deriving from bank loans aimed at satisfying the financial needs of the Group F

Net Income: reflects the trend in EBIT reflect the 2021 impact of deferred taxation following the exercise of the option for the tax realignment of some assets G

  • Net Working Capital: passing from Euro -76.5m at 30 June to Euro -75.1m at 30 September. The change of Euro 1.4m (cash absorption) is mainly composed of:
  • Increase in inventories of Euro 0.3m (negative cash impact): mainly suspended costs due to the two-year or multi-year nature of some exhibitions
  • Increase in trade receivables for Euro 0.1m (negative cash impact), increase due to the greater volume of activity
  • Decrease in trade payables for Euro -9.1m (negative cash impact) due to the interruption of summer activities (July / August) in which no other trade payables were generated
  • Increase in advances (positive cash impact) for Euro 9.9m relating to invoicing for exhibitions that will take place in the following quarters (in particular Bimu, Expodetergo ..). The recognition of revenues is, in fact, postponed until the exhibition is held
  • Decrease in the item "Provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities" for Euro -1.3m (negative cash impact) mainly relating to the increase in payables to organizers
  • Reduction of tax payables (negative cash impact) for Euro -0.6m

Net Financial Position pre IFRS16 (not including lease liability): passing from Euro -55.6m at 30 June to Euro -51.2.m at 30 September. The change of Euro 4.4m is due to the negative free cash flow generated (next slides focus)

Free Cash Flow generated in Q3: Euro -4.4m, the main components are:

  • EBITDA 3Q: Euro 10.3m
  • IFRS16 cash out (rents): Euro -13.1
  • Cash absorption of Euro 1.4m due to a decrease in the Net Working Capital (NWC) mainly due to the following factors:
  • Decrease in trade payables for Euro -9.1m (negative cash impact) due to the interruption of summer activities (July / August) in which no other trade payables were generated
  • Increase in advances (positive cash impact) for Euro 9.9m relating to invoicing for exhibitions that will take place in subsequent quarters (in particular Bimu, Expodetergo ..). The recognition of revenues is, in fact, postponed until the exhibition is held
  • Euro -2.3m decrease in payables to organizers (negative cash impact) relating to the payment to organizers for the events held in Q2 (please note that Fiera Milano manages the treasury on behalf of third-party organizers, collecting the participation fees of exhibitors in advance and then pass them back to the organizers)
  • CAPEX for Euro 0.9m (new information systems, software purchases and licenses for digital transformation)
  • Other changes: provisions relating to personnel, change in equity investments in the consolidation, change in debt resulting from the mark to market and other changes

Free Cash Flow generated in the first nine months of 2022:Euro 3.7m, the main components are:

  • EBITDA for the first 9 months of the year: Euro 49.9m
  • IFRS16 cash out (rents): Euro -32.5m resulting from:
  • Last rent installment of 2021 which benefited from a discount from Fondazione Fiera Milano of c. Euro 5.5m, whose economic competence is in 2021 but the financial manifestation is in Q1 2022 (deferred payment)
  • Two rent installments for the first two quarters of 2022
  • Cash absorption of Euro 11.1m due to a decrease in the Net Working Capital (NWC) mainly due to the following factors:
  • Increase in advances for Euro 3.8m (positive cash impact): mainly related to higher advances for Host and for the events held in October such as Bimu and Expodetergo
  • Reduction of trade payables for Euro -6.6m (negative cash impact): due to the interruption of summer activities (July / August) in which no other trade payables were generated
  • Increase in trade receivables for Euro -6.9m (negative cash impact): trade receivables follow the increase in the volume of activities, in line with the revenue trend
  • Reduction in inventories of Euro -0.9 (negative cash impact): mainly suspended costs due to the two-year or multiyear nature of some exhibitions
  • CAPEX for Euro 2.7m (new information systems, software purchases and licenses for digital transformation)
  • Other changes: provisions relating to personnel, change in equity investments in the consolidation, change in debt resulting from the mark to market and other minor variations

Net debt/ (Cash) evolution

Excellent financial stability and comfortable liquidity position

Fiera Milano achieved an excellent financial stability already in 2021, transforming the Covid-19 emergency into an opportunity to reorganize its financial structure

Current assets perfectly cover current liabilities Fixed assets are fully covered by equity and non-current liabilities

Fiera Milano can rely on an adequate stock of liquidity to be used at all the time, also taking into account the existing current financial liabilities and further EUR 50m which Fiera Milano could potentially use as shortterm loans. Such comfortable liquidity position will not be affected by exhibitions operative cash dynamics
