Financial review – Balance Sheet

1

Figures Key highlights

  • Structurally negative working capital due to advances payments received by organizers
  • For FM, working capital does not represent an investment, but a source of financial coverage for its fixed assets
  • In 2020 there was an increase in working capital due to the prolonged period of inactivity caused by the pandemic with consequent reductions in advances and payables to suppliers

  • The improvement in the net financial position is the result of the positive cash flow from operations and was determined by the upturn in exhibition activity and the receipt of contributions to offset the reduced margins in 2020 and 2021 caused by the public health emergency

  • In 2021 Fiera Milano was able to raise financing for € 99 million thanks to its financial and capital structure

Foreign exhibition business

  • The contraction in revenues mainly reflected the effect of Covid-19 on the Brazilian subsidiary which cancelled activities in 2021 and postponed events to 2022, resuming the pre-Covid calendarisation.
  • 2021 penalised the German jv with the cancellation of 8 events including Industrial Automation Beijing, Metalworking Shenzen, Industrial Automation Shanghai, Metalworking and CNC Mach. Tool Shanghai, China International Fastener Show, China Commercial Vehicle Show.

▪ The change in EBITDA is mainly attributable to the result of the joint venture with Deutsche Messe AG, which in 2020 had seen the suspension of exhibition activity in China until August, following the Covid-19 health emergency with the consequent downsizing of events

EBITDA1) [EUR m]

Note: 1) EBITDA values incorporate impacts of IFRS 16 (not including impact of venue rentals)

  • The public health situation is gradually improving, as infections from the Omicron variant flattened out at the end of January and are steadily declining. As a result, the main European countries have planned a relaxation of restrictions with the aim of a gradual return to normality. At the moment, the outlook is positive, although it is impossible to rule out the appearance of further variants, which could again complicate the picture and negatively impact the exhibition and congress calendar.
  • Due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Group is closely monitoring the developments in order to define the possible impacts on events whose commodity sectors have the greatest exposure to the countries involved.
  • Based on the information available to date, the EBITDA target for the financial year 2022 is confirmed in the range of € 40-50 million, as forecast in the CONN.E.C.T. 2025 plan.
