Conference Call 10 May 2021

Business outlook 3.0

3.1 Business outlook (1)

• On April 22, the Italian's Government approved a decree ("Reopening Decree") gradually easing Italy's COVID-19 restrictions.
• The decree, which will be in force from Monday 26 April until the end of July, reintroduces a lower-risk area (called yellow zones), where measures are less severe as the risk of contagion is considered to be only moderate.
• According to the new decree, trade fairs will be able to resume from June 15, while congresses and conventions will be able to reopen from July 1, in yellow zones.
• Despite still being in a period of extreme uncertainty, the Company confirms the 2021 targets:

✓ EBITDA in the range of Euro 35-45 million

✓ Net Financial Position in the range of Euro 0-10 million assuming the resumption of activities in Q3 2021 (September)

3.1 Business outlook (2)

• This scenario takes into account that the impact on operating margins from the lower turnover expected from the 2021 edition of the Salone del Mobile and, prudently, from other scheduled exhibitions, can be offset by the effects of:
• ✓ cost containment actions
• ✓ government contributions under the "de minimis" scheme
• Fiera Milano is ready to restart by exploiting:
• ✓ the further developments of its platform in terms of new technological solutions and digital services
• ✓ a solid financial situation: Euro ~70 million of cash, and a further Euro 31 million of credit lines still not used
