* The figures for 2017 reflect the application of the new standard IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018.

  • The year-on-year increase in quarterly revenues and results mainly reflected the exhibition calendar; the results also benefitted from the cost control measures
  • The year-on-year increase in revenues in the first nine months of 2018 primarily reflected the commercial growth in the exhibitions and consequent higher sales of ancillary services, the presence of Innovation Alliance and the impact of the cost control measures

NOTE: The Italian Exhibition Business now includes the previously separate Stand-fitting Services business segment; this is as a consequence of the new internal organisational structure and performance measurement systems that reflect the new strategic direction of the Group and the restructuring process to integrate further the commercial and operational activities

The change in net cash is due to negative cash flow from operations caused by the lack of events in the summer months. The decrease was partially offset by the trend in net working capital that benefited from advances received for exhibitions to be held in subsequent months

Business outlook

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

  • The third quarter 2018 results and the forecasts for the last quarter of the current financial year have led to an upgrade of the forecast for full-year 2018 EBITDA: this is now expected to be in the range of Euro 28-30 million, compared to the previously published target of Euro 24-26 million
  • At year-end 2018, net cash is expected to be in the range of Euro 15-20 million

* Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2017, operating profitability is calculated as EBITDA; therefore the 2017 figures, which showed the gross operating profit, have been restated to reflect this reclassification. The figures for 2017 also reflect the application of the new standard IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018.
