RAFFAELLA ORSERO Deputy Chair and CEO "Our satisfaction is strengthened for the more than positive results achieved in the first half of the year, with the achievement of a record level margin for the Group and above the market average, despite the persistence of a still uncertain historical moment. These results are the outcome of a precise strategic policy increasingly focused on products with greater added value, as well as the excellent performance achieved by the activity in France and Mexico. These positive economic objectives, during the half year, were accompanied by increasing attention to sustainability issues with the inclusion in the organization of the Group of an ESG team that will support Top Management in the preparation of a multi-year strategic ESG plan".

MATTEO COLOMBINI CFO & Co-CEO
"The substantial stability of sales revenues and the strong improvement in margins in these first 6 months of 2021 are a very important indicators that distinguish even more what the Group has done, also recalling the exceptional nature of the consumption dynamics observed during the first pandemic wave of 2020. At capital level, the results were very good, with a constantly improving net financial position and excellent cash generation resulting from the increasing attention to the efficiency of working capital in order to maximize the financial resources of the Group and its cost. All these elements make us fully confident for the achievement of the Guidance at the end of 2021 and for the Group's ability to support future investments".
