Business outlook 3.0

3.1 Business outlook

  • Although September saw the resumption of in -person events, the worsening of the health emergency due to a rapid rise in Covid -19 cases in Italy and elsewhere has led to new restrictions being put in place.
  • In Italy, recent government regulations initially confirmed the possibility of holding exhibitions and congresses but subsequently suspended conventions and congresses (except if held remotely) and then all exhibitions.
  • Against this highly uncertain and changeable environment, the Company has taken further cost reduction actions affecting both site management and staff, and through widespread adoption of remote working.
  • The adoption of these measures, together with the effect of the probable reduction in rents for the Rho and Milan sites, subject to negotiation with Fondazione Fiera Milano, will make it possible to have a positive impact on the result for the current year .
