In the first nine months 2019

  • A different exhibition calendar compared to 2018, partially offset by good performance of business

2.2

Italian Exhibition Business

  • The year-on-year change in quarterly revenues and results mainly reflected the exhibition calendar; the IFRS 16 effect on EBITDA is equal to Euro 10.8 million
  • The year-on-year trend in revenues and margins in the first nine months is primarily related to the different exhibition calendar (absence of The Innovation Alliance, Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, Lineapelle, partially offset by the presence of Tuttofood and Made Expo) and the commercial growth of exhibitions, together with higher sales of ancillary services; the IFRS 16 effect on EBITDA is equal to Euro 32.9 million

Foreign Exhibition Business

  • 147,445 net square metres of exhibition space covered in 3Q19 (157,050 square metres in 3Q18) because of the absence of the biennial exhibition Fesqua in Brazil
  • The year-on-year change in quarterly revenues and margins mainly reflected the exhibition calendar in Brazil
  • In the first nine months of the year, the year-on-year change in revenues was mainly due to the Brazilian business; EBITDA benefited from higher results of the Chinese subsidiary

Media 3Q19 3Q18 9M19 9M18

2.4 Media

  • The year-on-year change in revenues and results for the quarter was due to the different exhibition calendar and lower training events
  • Results for the first nine months of 2019 benefited from the optimization of costs for producing technical publications

Revenues (€m) 6.2 3.3 27.3 18.8
EBITDA (€m) 1.8 (1.5) 8.6 (0.9)
% on revenues 29.4% -45.2% 31.4% -4.7%

% on revenues 10.0% -55.5% 18.4% -10.2%
  • The year-on-year increase in quarterly revenues and results mainly reflected the presence of The Lions international convention; the IFRS 16 effect on EBITDA is equal to Euro 1.0 million
  • The year-on-year increase in first nine month revenues and results was due to the presence of international congresses and conventions; the IFRS 16 effect on EBITDA is equal to Euro 2.9 million

The net financial position pre-IFRS16 improved compared to the end of 2018 mainly as a result of the positive operating cash flow in the period, and decreased compared to the end of June 2019 due to the lack of events in the summer months

Business outlook 3.0

3.1 Business Outlook

  • The positive operating performance was also confirmed by exhibitions held in Italy after the end of the quarter, particularly the biennial HOST exhibition The favourable trend in exhibitions allows the 2019 EBITDA to be estimated in the upper part of the range, announced previously, of Euro 96-100 million
  • With reference to business forecasts for 2020 in the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, the positive implementation of the plan allowed the target EBITDA to be raised in the range of Euro 71-75 1 million, compared to the previous range of Euro 61-65 2 million

1The new target includes the effect of suspension of the costs of personnel involved in biennial and multi-year directly organised exhibitions, whose estimated value is around Euro 2 million
