The following table summarises the Datalogic Group's key economic and financial results as at 31 March 2019 in comparison with the same period a year earlier:
| Quarter ended | |||||||

| Total Revenues | 144,647 | 100.0% | 142,942 | 100.0% | 1,705 | 1.2% | -2.1% |
| EBITDA | 21,647 | 15.0% | 21,952 | 15.4% | (305) | -1.4% | 4.1% |
| Operating result (EBIT) | 14,822 | 10.2% | 16,520 | 11.6% | (1,698) | -10.3% | |
| Group net profit/loss | 12,567 | 8.7% | 11,183 | 7.8% | 1,384 | 12.4% | |
| Net financial position (NFP) | (3,925) | 32,348 | (36,273) |
In the first quarter of 2019, revenues grew by 1.2% and stood at €144.6 million; EBITDA decreased by 1.4% to €21.6 million, and the EBITDA margin stood at 15.0%, a slight decrease compared to the same period of the previous year.
Net profit increased by 12.4% to €12.6 million (€11.2 million the first quarter of 2018). As percentage, net profit increased from 7.8% to 8.7% on revenues, an improvement of 0.9 percentage points.
The Net Financial Position as at 31 March 2019 is negative by €3.9 million, a decrease of €36.3 million compared to 31 March 2018 (positive by €32.3 million) and a decrease of €27.8 million compared to 31 December 2018 (positive by €23.8 million). The change is the main consequence of the accounting impact due to the application of the new accounting principle IFRS 16-Leases, which involved the recognition of assets for the right in use, amounting to €14.3 million and financial liabilities for leases, in the amount of €14.1 million.
To allow for a better valuation of the Group's performance, management adopted certain alternative performance indicators that are not identified as accounting measures within IFRS (NON-GAAP measures). The measurement criteria applied by the Group might not be consistent with those adopted by other groups and the indicators might not be comparable with indicators calculated by the latter. These performance indicators, determined according to provisions set out by Guidelines on alternative performance indicators, issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by CONSOB with communication no. 92543 of 3 December 2015, refer only to the performance of the accounting period related to this Interim Report on Operations and the compared periods.
The performance indicators must be considered as supplementary and do not supersede information given pursuant to IFRS standards. The description of the main indicators adopted is given hereunder.
The following table shows the main income statement items of the current period, compared with the same period in the previous year:

The following table shows the breakdown by geographical area of Group revenues achieved in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the same period of 2018:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Italy | 11,765 | 8.1% | 14,407 | 10.1% | (2,642) | -18.3% | |

| APAC (*) | 14,760 | 10.2% | 18,037 | 12.6% | (3,277) | -18.2% | -21.5% |
| Total Revenues | 144,647 | 100.0% | 142,942 | 100.0% | 1,705 | 1.2% | -2.1% |
(*) EMEAI: Europe, Middle East, India and Africa; APAC: Asia & Pacific (including China)
(**) 2018 comparison data were restated consistently to reflect the new allocations of revenues.
During the first quarter of 2019, a 10.2% growth was recorded in North America, above all thanks to the favourable trend of exchange rates, while a slow-down was recorded in the APAC area, down by 18.2%. The performance of the EMEAI area, up 1.5% in total, was affected by the negative trend reported in Italy, while a good growth was recorded in the other countries, especially in the DACH countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).
Gross Operating Margin, equal to €70.2 million, increased by 0.5% compared to €69.8 million reported in the same period of the previous year. As a percentage on revenues it was substantially in line with the same quarter of the previous year, from 48.8% of 2018 to 48.5% of 2019, thanks to the efficiency in costs of materials and the improvement in the mix, which offset unfavourable exchange rates.
Operating expenses and others, equal to €53.9 million, increased by 4.9% from €51.4 million in the same period of 2018, and increased by 1.3 percentage points in proportion to revenues, from 36.0% to 37.3%. In particular, Distribution expenses, increased by 12.9% to 29.1 million, with an impact of 20.1% on revenues, compared to 18.0% recorded in the same period of 2018, are attributable to investments aimed at strengthening sales organisations, as occurred in 2018. Research and Development expenses, equal to around €14.3 million (€14.5 million in the first quarter of 2018) are substantially in line with the previous period, 9.9% as percentage on turnover.
EBITDA showed 1.4% decrease, from €22.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, to €21.6 million, while, as a percentage on revenues (EBITDA margin), it stood at 15.0% compared to 15.4% in 2018. The slight reduction is determined by the increase in the impact of operating costs and the unfavourable trend of exchange rates, partially offset by the benefit resulting from the adoption of the new IFRS 16 Leases, which involved the recording of higher depreciation and lower costs for leases and rentals, in the amount of €1.3 million.
EBIT decreased by 10.3% to €14.8 million compared to €16.5 million related to same period of previous year, with an impact on revenues from 10.2% to 11.6% recorded in the first quarter of 2018.

| Other | 98 | 97 | 1 | |
| Total Net financial Income/(Expenses) | 1,289 | (1,844) | 3,133 |
Net Financial Income/(Expenses) was positive by €1.3 million, compared to a negative result of €1.8 million related to the same period of 2018, which mainly refers to the trend of exchange rate differences positive by €1.5 million, and to higher income from liquidity investments.
The Net Income/(Loss), amounting to €12.6 million, increased by 12.4% compared to the profit recorded in the same period of the previous year (€11.2 million).
Operating segments are identified based on the management reporting used by senior management to allocate resources and evaluate results. Consistently with the previous year, the operating segments were included in the following divisions:

(*) The 2018 comparison data were restated consistently with the reallocation of revenues to the various operating segments.
(**) The Channel sector (unallocated) includes revenues not directly attributable to the 4 areas identified.
The Retail sector reported 2.2% decrease compared to the same period of previous year (-5.6% at constant exchange rate), with a slowdown in all geographical areas, except for North America, which increased by 5.3%.
The Manufacturing sector decreased by 4.0% compared to the same period of previous year (-5.9% at constant exchange rate). The slowdown in EMEAI (-3.1%) and in APAC (-17.4%) was only partially offset by the positive performance in North America, up by 19.4% (10.3% at constant exchange rate).
The Transportation & Logistics sector recorded a strong growth, equal to 16.8% compared to the same period of 2018 (+12.5% at constant exchange rate), driven by an exceptionally positive performance in North America, up by 44% (+33.1% at constant exchange rate).
The Healthcare sector reported 19.9% increase (+15.6% at constant exchange rate), compared to the first quarter of 2018, driven by sales in EMEAI.
The sales through distribution channel, especially to small and medium-sized customers, not directly attributable to any of the four main sectors, reported 30.9% increase (+28.8% at constant exchange rate).
The Solution Net Systems Division reported revenues of €5.5 million, down 10.3% compared to the first quarter of 2018 (-17.2% at constant exchange rate), performance that is mainly attributable to the seasonal trend of projects. The EBITDA related to the division amounted to €1 million, with an impact on turnover of 18.0% compared to 15.7% recorded in the first quarter of 2018.
In the first quarter, the Informatics Division recorded a turnover of €4.3 million, down 10.1% (-17.0% at constant exchange rate) compared to the first quarter of 2018. EBITDA for the division was negative for €0.1 million (positive by 0.1 million in the same period of 2018).

| Net financial position (NFP) | (3,925) | 23,843 | (27,768) |
As at 31 March 2019, the Net Trade Working Capital amounted to €87.4 million (13.8% of revenues), up by €18.3 million compared to 31 December 2018 and by €14.6 million compared to 31 March 2018. The change is due to the increase in inventories and the decrease in trade payables, partially offset by improved trade receivables.
The Net Invested Capital, equal to around €394.4 million, increased by €42.4 million compared to the previous year, due to the increased net working capital (€24.2 million) and increased net investments in non-current assets, amounting to around €19.7 million, mainly related to product development and tangible assets including around €14.3 million resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16.
The Net Financial Position, as at 31 March 2019, was negative by €3.9 million, down by €36.3 million compared to 31 March 2018 (positive by €32.3 million) and down by 27.8 million, compared to 31 December 2018 (positive by €23.8 million). The change is the main consequence of the accounting impact due to the application of the new accounting principle IFRS 16-Leases, which involved the recognition of assets for the right in use, amounting to €14.3 million and financial liabilities for leases, in the amount of €14.1 million.

Cash flows, which brought about the change in the Group's consolidated net financial position in the first quarter of 2019, are summarised as follows:
Net of the treasury share purchases and the adoption of IFRS 16, cash absorption over the period, resulting from business activities, is equal to €11.1 million (positive in the first quarter of 2018, in the amount of €2.2 million). This trend is due to the increase in net investments, equal to €6.1 million (€2.7 million in the first quarter of 2018), the change in net working capital, negative by €18.3 million (€11.3 million in the first quarter of 2018) and the change in other assets and liabilities, negative by €5.2 million (€0.7 million in the first quarter of 2018), attributable to the increase in VAT receivables.

Some of the elements of political uncertainty and the estimated global macroeconomic scenario emerged during the first quarter of 2019, determining a slowdown in the economic situation in some geographical areas, especially in China and in Italy. Meanwhile, North America represented, for the Group, the most growing market.
Expectations on the main trends of a long-term development in all the main reference industrial segments, despite slowdown signals, are confirmed: industrial automation and robotics development in the Manufacturing sector; investments in technologies to reduce costs and improve customer experience in the Retail sector; increase in volumes of shipments following the development of e-commerce and consequent increase of investments in technologies aimed at minimizing mistakes and reduce delivery times in the Transportation & Logistics sector; evolution of regulation towards standards of higher safety in the Healthcare sector.
The macroeconomic scenario, which mostly affected Group revenues, especially in China and in Italy, continues to show some uncertainty elements that might affect the current quarter as well. Despite this market conditions, thanks to new products and investments made in trade organizations, the Group expects an improvement in the second half of the year, and the continuation of a growth in revenues at year end, with a recovery of profitability at levels substantially in line with 2018.
The Parent Company has no secondary locations.

Interim Report as at 31 March 2019
Datalogic is the world leader in the markets of automatic data capture and process automation. The company is specialised in the design and production of bar code readers, mobile computers, detection, measurement and security sensors, vision and laser marking systems and RFID.
Its pioneering solutions contribute to increase efficiency and quality of processes along the entire value chain, in the Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics and Healthcare sectors.
Datalogic S.p.A. (hereinafter "Datalogic", the "Parent Company" or the "Company") is a joint-stock company listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana, with its registered office in Italy. The address of the registered office is Via Candini, 2 - Lippo di Calderara (BO).
The Company is a subsidiary of Hydra S.p.A., which is also based in Bologna and is controlled by the Volta family.
This Interim Report on Operations as at 31 March 2019 includes the figures of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (defined hereinafter as the "Group"), and its minority interests in associates.
The publication of the Interim Report on Operations as at 31 March 2019 of the Datalogic Group was authorised by resolution of the Board of Directors dated 14 May 2019.
Disclosures on financial position, financial performance and cash flows, if not otherwise specified, were drawn up pursuant to measurement and recognition criteria set forth by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Commission according to the procedure as per Article 6 of the EC Regulation no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the European Council of 19 July 2002.
Therefore, this Interim Report on Operations must be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Explanatory Notes as at 31 December 2018, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards endorsed by the European Union, approved at the Shareholders' Meeting held on 30 April 2019 and available in the section Investor Relations at www.Datalogic.com.
This Interim Report on Operations is drawn up in thousands of Euro, which is the Group's "functional" and "presentation" currency.
2) New accounting criteria, interpretations and modifications adopted by the Group
The IFRS 16 standard was issued in January 2016 and supersedes the following standards: IAS 17 - Leases, IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives e SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
IFRS 16 sets forth principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard requires lessees to recognise all lease contracts, both financial and operating, in the financial statements according to one single accounting model, similar to the one used to recognise financial leases, pursuant to IAS 17.
This standard envisages two exemptions: lessees may elect not to recognise assets or liabilities for low value assets and short-term leases (i.e. leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the inception of the lease, the lessee shall measure a liability related to lease costs (i.e. lease liabilities) and an asset representing the right of use of the underlying asset for the duration of the lease (i.e. the right-of-use asset). Moreover, interest payable on liabilities for leases and amortisation/depreciation on the right of use are recognised separately.
The Group elected to apply this standard on 1 January 2019 (modified retrospective method) and recognised:
The effects, resulting from the adoption, are shown in this Interim Report on Operations.
Preparation of IFRS-compliant Interim Report on Operations requires directors to apply accounting standards and methodologies that, in some cases, are based on valuations and estimates, which in turn refer to historic experience and assumptions based on specific circumstances at any given time. The application of such estimates and assumptions affects the amounts related to revenues, costs, assets and liabilities, as well as contingent liabilities disclosed and any relevant information. The amounts of accounting items, for which these estimates and assumptions have been used, might be different from those reported due to the uncertainty characterising the assumptions and conditions on which estimates are based.
The economic result of the period is shown net of taxes, recognised based on the best estimate of the average weighted tax rate, expected for the entire year.
During the first three months of 2019, no changes occurred in the consolidation area.
Over the year, net investments for €4,447 thousand were recognised and depreciation for €2,863 thousand. Details of movements as at 31 March 2019 and 31 December 2018 are as follows:
| 31.03.2019 | 31.12.2018 | Change | |

| Assets in progress and payments on account | 6,451 | 4,166 | 2,285 |

As required by IAS 33, information on data used to calculate the earning/loss per share is provided below. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit and/or loss for the period, attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reference period. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, the weighted average number of outstanding shares is determined assuming translation of all potential shares with a dilutive effect (stock grant attributions), and the Group's net profit is adjusted for the post-tax effects of translation.

| Diluted earnings/(loss) per share | 0.22 | 0.19 |
EPS as at 31 March 2019 was calculated by dividing Group net profit of €12,567 thousand (Group net profit of €11,183 thousand as at 31 March 2018) by the average number of ordinary shares outstanding as at 31 March 2018, equal to 57,468,741 shares (58,229,477 as at 31 March 2018).
For the definition of "Related parties", see both IAS 24, approved by EC Regulation 1725/2003, and the Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties approved by the Board of Directors on 4 November 2010 (most recently amended on 24 July 2015), available on the Company's website www.datalogic.com.
The parent company of the Datalogic Group is Hydra S.p.A.
Intercompany transactions are executed as part of the ordinary operations and at arm's length conditions. Furthermore, there are other relationships with related parties, always carried out as part of ordinary operations and at arm's length conditions, of an immaterial amount and in accordance with the "OPC Procedure", chiefly with Hydra S.p.A. or entities under joint control (with Datalogic S.p.A.), or with individuals that carry out the coordination and management of Datalogic S.p.A. (including entities controlled by the same and close relatives).
Related-party transactions refer chiefly to commercial and real estate transactions (instrumental and noninstrumental premises for the Group under lease or leased) and advisory activities as well as to companies joining the scope of tax consolidation. None of these assumes particular economic or strategic importance for the Group since receivables, payables, revenues and costs to the related parties are not a significant proportion of the total amount of the financial statements.
Pursuant to Art. 5, par. 8, of the Consob Regulations, it should be noted that, over the period 01/01/2019 - 31/03/2019, the Company's Board of Directors did not approve any relevant transaction, as set out by Art. 3, par. 1, lett. b) of the Consob Regulations, or any transaction with minority related parties that had a significant impact on the Group's equity position or profit/(loss).
