GROUP STRUCTURE
(1) The remaining 33.96% is held by Simest S.p.A. Since Tesmec has an obligation to buy back the portion held by Simest S.p.A., for accounting purposes the shareholding of the Parent Company in Marais Technologies SAS is consolidated on an 100% basis.
HALF-YEAR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT
The parent company Tesmec S.p.A. (hereinafter "Parent Company" or "Tesmec") is a legal entity organised in accordance with the legal system of the Italian Republic. The ordinary shares of Tesmec are listed on the MTA (screen-based share market) STAR Segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Tesmec Group (hereinafter "Group" or "Tesmec Group") is in Milan, Piazza S. Ambrogio 16.
The Tesmec Group is a leader in the design, production and marketing of special products and integrated solutions for the construction, maintenance and streamlining of infrastructures relating to the transmission of electrical power and data and material transport.
Founded in Italy in 1951 and led by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, the Group, which has been listed on the Stock Exchange since 1 July 2010, has pursued the stated objective of diversification of product types in order to offer a complete range of integrated solutions grouped into three main areas of business: Energy, Trencher and Rail. The company has more than 800 employees, with production plants located in Grassobbio (Bergamo), Endine Gaiano (Bergamo), Sirone (Lecco) and Monopoli (Bari) in Italy, Alvarado (Texas) in the USA and Durtal in France. Furthermore, after the reorganisation of the Automation sector, Tesmec Automation has 3 additional operating units available in Fidenza, Padua and Patrica (Frosinone). The Group has a global commercial structure, with a direct presence on different continents, through foreign companies and sales offices in the USA, South Africa, Russia, Qatar, China and France.
Through the different types of product, the Group is able to offer:
machines and integrated systems for the installation, maintenance and diagnostics of the railway catenary wire system, plus customised machines for special operations on the line.
The know-how achieved in the development of specific technologies and innovative solutions and the presence of a team of highly-skilled engineers and technicians allow the Tesmec Group to directly manage the entire production chain: from the design, production and marketing of machinery to the supply of know-how relating to the use of systems and optimisation of work, to all pre- and post-sales services related to machinery and the increase in site efficiency.
The first half of 2018 was characterised by continued economic recovery, which was also evident in 2017; the recovery strengthened in Europe (including Italy) and other major countries, with the exception of Brazil and Venezuela. This economic growth drove an overall scenario of investor confidence, also supported by the elimination of monetary stimulus by central banks.
Global stock markets experienced a phase of reflection, with the exception of Milan, which registered an increase of 2.55% in the second quarter 2018. The euro became even stronger compared to other currencies, especially against the dollar, while the barrel price fell. Europe and emerging countries are in less mature phases of the economic cycle compared to the USA, and therefore have more room for acceleration; on the other hand, the approval of the tax reform bill in the USA could provide support for the dollar.
Instability in the Middle East has drawn the attention of the USA, China and Russia.
The extraordinary transactions that occurred during the period include the following:
on 3 May 2018, the Tesmec Board of Directors, subject to the favourable opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors, appointed Gianluca Casiraghi as new Chief Financial Officer and Manager responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements. The Board of Directors also approved the launch of the programme to purchase treasury shares, the purpose, duration and counter value of which were established in the resolution of the shareholders' meeting dated 6 April 2018, while the maximum quantity was set as 10% of Share Capital. The Board of Directors also resolved that the maximum number of shares that may be purchased each day shall be no more than 25% of the average daily volume of "Tesmec" shares traded on the market;
on 25 June 2018, Tesmec reported that within the scope of contract no. 61/2007 awarded in December 2016, the fitting out of 2 vehicles with measurement systems boasting high technological content was agreed upon with RFI - Rete Ferroviaria Italiana S.p.A., a company of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group responsible for the overall management of the national rail network. This investment is aimed at improving the checking and maintenance of the national rail network;
The consolidated financial statements of Tesmec have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter the "IFRS" or the "International Accounting Standards"), which were endorsed by the European Commission, in effect as at 31 December 2017. The following table shows the major economic and financial indicators of the Group in June 2018 and in June 2017.

The company has been consolidated using the equity method and in the first six months of the year generated revenues totalling Euro 3.2 million.
Marais Technologies SAS, with registered office in Durtal (France), 66.04% owned by Tesmec S.p.A. and 33.96% by Simest S.p.A.

| Half-year ended 30 June | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Euro in thousands) | 2018 | % of revenues | 2017 | % of revenues | 2018 vs. 2017 |
| Sales of products | 65,999 | 72.45% | 67,306 | 73.87% | (1,307) |

| Total revenues from sales and services | 91,099 | 100.00% | 91,114 | 100.00% | (15) |
Services rendered mainly concern the trencher segment and are represented by the machine rental business carried out in the United States, France, North Africa and Oceania.
The Group's turnover continues to be produced almost predominantly abroad and in particular, in non-EU countries. The revenue analysis by area is indicated below, compared with the first half of 2018 and the first half of 2017, which indicates the growth of the Italian and North and Central America markets, partially balanced by the downtrends recorded in the European, BRIC and Others markets. In the BRIC and Others segment, note that the half-year for the prior year was heavily influenced by the positive effect of sales in Indonesian markets related to the contract with the Indonesian Electricity Authority (PLN). It is emphasised that the segmentation by geographic area is determined by the country where the customer is located, regardless of where project activities/sales are organised.

The EBITDA thus defined represents a measurement used by Company management to monitor and assess the operating performance. EBITDA is not recognised as a measure of performance by IFRS and therefore is not to be considered an alternative measurement for assessing the performance of the Group's operating income. As the composition of EBITDA is not governed by the reference accounting standards, the calculation criterion applied by the Group may not be in line with the criterion adopted by others and is therefore not comparable.

The tables below show the income statement figures as at 30 June 2018 compared to those at 30 June 2017, broken down into three operating segments.
| Half-year ended 30 June | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Euro in thousands) | 2018 | % of revenues | 2017 | % of revenues | 2018 vs. 2017 | |

| Total Revenues | 91,099 | 100.0% | 91,114 | 100.0% | (15) |
In the first six months of 2018, the Group consolidated revenues of Euro 91,099 thousand, in line with the same period of the previous year. In percentage terms, this change is split disparately between the Group's three business areas. More specifically, an increase of +31.6% was recorded for the Rail segment, +17.0% for the Trencher segment, and a decrease of -35.0% for the Energy segment.
The decrease in revenues in the Energy segment is mainly attributable to the fact that revenues for the first half of 2017 benefited from a large order to supply stringing equipment for the Indonesian market, completed at the end of 2016 that in terms of turnover had an impact primarily on the first quarter of 2017.
The considerable increase in revenues for the Trencher segment confirms the Group's strategy of focusing on service and project management activities in key areas such as the Middle East. In Kuwait, for example, as many as 12 Tesmec trenchers are at work, used in various infrastructure projects.
For the Rail segment, revenues improved compared to the same period of the previous year due to technological advances that the Group is pursuing in terms of Research & Development, supplying integrated solutions on the catenary wire system and to the development phase of the production activities concerning the sizeable orders acquired at the end of 2016.

(1) The net working capital is calculated as current assets net of current liabilities excluding financial assets and financial liabilities. Net working capital is not recognised as a measure of performance by IFRS. The valuation criteria applied by the Company may not necessarily be the same as those adopted by other groups and therefore the balance obtained by the Company may not necessarily be comparable therewith.
(2) The net invested capital is calculated as net working capital plus fixed assets and other long-term assets less long-term liabilities. The net invested capital is not recognised as a measure of performance under IFRS. The valuation criteria applied by the Company may not necessarily be the same as those adopted by other groups and therefore the balance obtained by the Company may not necessarily be comparable therewith.
(3) The net financial indebtedness is calculated as the sum of cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets including available–for–sale securities, noncurrent financial liabilities, fair value of hedging instruments and other non-current financial assets.
The table below shows a breakdown of "Net Working Capital" as at 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017:

Net working capital is not recognised as a measure of performance by IFRS. The valuation criteria applied by the Company may not necessarily be the same as those adopted by other groups and therefore the balance obtained by the Company may not necessarily be comparable therewith.
Net working capital amounted to Euro 64,859 thousand, marking an increase of Euro 4,053 thousand (equal to 6.7%) compared to 31 December 2017. This trend is mainly due to the increase in "Trade receivables" of Euro 14,364 thousand (36.0%) following the seasonal nature of sales concentrated in the last period of the first half of 2018.
The table below shows a breakdown of "Fixed assets" as at 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | As at 30 June 2018 | As at 31 December 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Intangible assets | 17,802 | 18,340 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 48,212 | 46,102 |
| Equity investments in associates | 3,720 | 3,937 |
| Other equity investments | 6 | 7 |
| Fixed assets | 69,740 | 68,386 |
Total fixed assets posted an increase of Euro 1,354 thousand, due to the increase in costs connected with development of the new Monopoli production facility, which will operate in the Rail sector. The completion and implementation is expected in the third quarter of 2018. The new plant will allow the release of the two production sites for rent and to achieve production synergies and rationalization.
Details of the breakdown of "Net financial indebtedness" as at 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017 are as follows:

It should be noted that 39 units refer to construction sites in Ivory Coast and Australia.
On 6 April 2018, the Shareholders' Meeting authorised the treasury share buy-back plan; the authorisation was granted for a period of 18 months; the authorisation of 6 April 2018 replaces the last authorisation resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 28 April 2017 and expiring in October 2018. The plan set the maximum quantity as 10% of Share Capital; from the launch of the buy-back plan resolved on 10 January 2012 (and renewed on 30 April 2014) to the date of the period covered by this report, 30 June 2018, a total of 4,711,879 shares (4.40% of Share Capital) have been purchased at an average price of Euro 0.5543 (net of commissions) for a total equivalent value of Euro 2,612 thousand. In the period no purchases of treasury shares were made.
Events occurring after the close of the financial period included:
Based on the well balanced and geographically diversified total order backlog, revenues around 200 million euros are expected, with an increase in margins thanks to efficiency improvements in the several businesses and consequent better absorption of fixed costs. An improvement in the net financial position is expected thanks to the normalization of working capital and the improvement of the operating profitability.
In detail, a further growth in the Railway business is expected thanks to the new technological solutions in the catenary and diagnostic field which are starting to gain recognition on the international market as well as on the domestic one. A positive push should also come from the construction of the new production plant in Puglia, which should be fully operational from the fourth quarter of 2018. With reference to the Trencher segment, a strong increase in the mining and tunneling business is expected, particularly in Australia. There are good prospects also in the United States thanks to the restarting of works, especially in the pipeline segment. Furthermore, the digging solutions of the Group will be increasingly used both in infrastructure projects and in telecom and fiber optic projects. In the second part of the year, we expect a growth of the Energy sector compared to the first half thanks to the start of important international projects both in the Stringing segment and in the Automation segment.

As at 30 June 2018, the changes that have taken place in the consolidation area in comparison with 31 December 2017 are the following:
on 31 January 2018, Tesmec S.p.A. acquired an additional investment equivalent to 13.21% of the share capital of Marais Technologies SAS. Following this operation, Tesmec S.p.A. holds 66.04%, while the remaining 33.96% is held by Simest S.p.A. Since Tesmec has an obligation to buy back the portion held by Simest S.p.A., for accounting purposes the shareholding of the Parent Company in Marais Technologies SAS is consolidated on an 100% basis.
With reference to the accounting standards in force from 1 January 2018, compared to those applicable for the financial year 2017, the only significant effect is related to the adoption of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments".
In July 2014, IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which replaces "IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement" and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the project on financial instrument accounting: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. With the exception of hedge accounting, the standard must be applied retrospectively but comparative information is not mandatory. As regards hedge accounting, in general, the standard applies in a prospective manner, with some limited exceptions.
The Group adopted the new standard from the date of entry into force, and does not show the comparative data. The Group ran a detailed analysis of the impact of all aspects covered by IFRS 9.
The Group has no significant impact on its financial statements and net equity following the application of the IFRS 9 recognition and measurement requirements. The Group continues measuring at fair value all financial assets currently measured at fair value.
The Group applied the option to present the fair value variations between the other components of the comprehensive income statement, meaning that the IFRS 9 will not have any significant impact.
Loans and trade receivables are held for collection on the contractual expiry of the cash flows referred to the collection of capital and interest. The Group has analysed contractual cash flow on these instruments and has concluded that they meet the criteria for measurement at their amortized cost, in compliance with IFRS 9. It has not therefore been necessary to reclassify these financial instruments.
Under IFRS 9, the entity must derecognise financial liabilities (or part of them) from the financial statements if, and only if, the liability is extinguished, i.e. if the obligation set out in the contract is met, cancelled or expired. A substantial variation in the terms of an existing financial liability or part of it must be recognized as an extinction of the original liability and the recognition of a new one.
The terms for applying this new rule are considerably different if the actualized value of the financial flow under the new terms, including any commission paid net of commission received, and using the original interest rate, are at least 10% different from the actualized value of the remaining financial flows of the original financial liability (so-called "10% test"). If the exchange of debt instruments or the change in the terms are recognised as an extinction, any cost or commission sustained are recorded as income or losses associated with the extinction. If the exchange or modification are not recognised as extinction, any cost or commission sustained will adjust the accounting value of the liability and will be amortized over the remaining term of the liability in question.
Loans that have been renegotiated in periods prior to the introduction of IFRS 9 must have their repayment plans recalculated, starting from the date of the renegotiation and adapting the carrying value to the NPV (net present value) of the new conditions.
The Group had no material variations on its existing loans or part of them, therefore the Group had no significant impacts.
IFRS 9 requires the Group to record expected credit losses on all bonds in its portfolio, loans and trade receivables referring to a period of either 12 months or the entire duration of the instrument's contract (e.g. lifetime expected loss). The Group applied the simplified approach, recognising expected credit loss on all receivables based on their residual contractual duration. The Group has defined an allowance matrix based on historical data related to credit losses, taking into consideration customer-specific and market-specific factors.
As far as the expected credit losses are concerned, the impact amounts to Euro 315 thousand, net of the related tax impact, directly recorded by the Group to opening equity reserves as of 1 January 2018, without restating comparative data.
For other debt financial assets (i.e., loans and debt securities at FVOCI), the ECL is based on the 12-month ECL. The 12 month ECL is the portion of lifetime ECLs that results from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Group had no impact with reference to this.
Not applicable for the Group.
IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and amended in April 2016, introducing a new five-stage model that will apply to revenue from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 requires recognition of revenue for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity believes to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to the customer. The new standard will replace all current requirements found in IFRS regarding the recognition of revenues. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with full retrospective or modified application.
The Group applied the new standard starting from the date of entry into force, using the modified retrospective approach, according to which it is not necessary to restate the comparative data; with this approach, the impacts arising from the application of the new standard are recognized through opening equity balances.
IFRS 15 had no significant impact on Group revenues and income statements.
During the assessment of the impacts coming from the introduction of the principle, the Group has identified the main types of revenues.
Sales of the Trencher sector consist of sales of crawler machinery for which the recognition of revenue occurs at the transfer of the asset's control, identified on the basis of International Commercial Terms (In.co.term). These contracts do not include any performance obligations other than the sale of the asset, or financial components or discount policies. Therefore, as of today these transactions did not highlight the need for changes to accounting treatments.
With regards of the bill and hold transactions, the Group has considered regarding a possible Performance Obligation (for example, for the custody service) to which attribute a part of the transaction price: this service however is not relevant based on its short time period.
Service contracts in Trencher sector are satisfied "over time" because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.
Sales contracts of the Energy sector, in addition to the supply of material for stringing and for streamlining of power lines, can include additional services, such as transport services and / or design services. Currently, the Group adopts separate accounting for such separate obligations, therefore, there is no need to change these accounting treatments.
The Group has performed specific considerations for the fees of some particular transport services (for example, for foreign customers), regarding the possible assumption of the role of Agent verifying the consistency with the new principle.
The main contracts in the railway sector concern the supply of customized machines, to which a full maintenance activity can be added for a subsequent period. The accounting treatment currently adopted by the Group, based on the allocation of the considerations between the construction phase, which matures on completion of works according to the percentage of completion method, and the maintenance activity, that is spread over the period after the delivery, has not required any change following the introduction of IFRS 15.
The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer a property, including those under construction or development, in or out of the Investment property heading. The amendment states that a change of use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of real estate property and there is evidence of a change of use. A simple change in management's intentions for the property's use is not sufficient to prove change of use. These amendments are not relevant to the Group.
IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment dealing with three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share based payment transaction; the classification f a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; the accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash-settled to equity-settled. Upon adoption, the entity shall apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but the retrospective application is allowed if chosen for all three amendments and other criteria are observed. These amendments are not relevant to the Group.
The amendments deal with the problems created by introducing the new standard on financial instruments, IFRS 9, before introducing IFRS 17 Insurance contracts, which replaces IFRS 4. The changes introduce two options for entities that issue insurance contracts: a temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 and the overlay approach. These amendments are not relevant to the Group.
The amendments clarify that an entity that is a venture capital organisation or other qualified entity can decide, at the time of the initial recognition and with reference to each individual investment, to measure their investments in joint ventures or associated companies at fair value on the income statement.
If an entity that does not qualify as an investment entity has a holding in an associated company or joint venture that is an investment entity, when applying the equity method the former entity can decide to maintain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity (associate or joint venture) when measuring their own investments. This choice can be made separately for each associate or joint venture that is an investment entity up to the last of the following dates to occur: (a) the initial measurement of the holding in the associate or joint venture that is an investment entity; (b) when the associate or joint venture becomes an investment entity; or (c) when the associate or joint venture that is an investment entity becomes parent company for the first time. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group consolidated accounts.
The short-term exemptions indicated in paragraphs E3-E7 of IFRS 1 have been deleted as having fulfilled their purpose. This change is effective from 1 January 2018. This amendment is not relevant to the Group.
IFRS 16 was published in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17 Leasing, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an agreement contains a lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27. Evaluating the substance of transactions in the legal for of a lease. IFRS 16 defines the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leasing and requires lessees to recognise all lease contracts in the financial statements based on a single model similar to that used to account for finance leases in accordance with IAS 17. The standard provides for two exemptions for the recognition by lessees - leasing contracts related to the "low-value" assets (i.e., personal computers) and short-term leasing contracts (such as contracts maturing within 12 months or less).
As at the start of the lease contract, the lessee will post a liability of for lease payments (i.e. leasing liabilities) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the duration of the contract (i.e. right to use the asset). The lessees will have to account for the interest charges on the lease liabilities and the amortisation of the right of use separately.
Lessees will also have to re-measure the lease liability at certain events (for example: a change in the conditions of the lease, a change in future lease payments subsequent to changes in an index or a rate used to determine those payments). The lessee generally will recognise the amount of remeasurement of the leasing liabilities as an adjustment of the rights of use.
The recognition by IFRS 16 for lessors is substantially unchanged compared with today's recognition in accordance with IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle set forth in IAS 17 and distinguishing between two types of leases: operating and financial leases.
IFRS 16 requires the lessees and lessors a more extensive disclosure than IAS 17.
IFRS 16 comes into effect for financial years beginning on 1 January 2019 or later. Early application is permitted, but not before the entity has adopted IFRS 15. The lessor can choose to apply the standard using a fully retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The indications for transition set out in the standard permit certain facilitations. In 2018, the Group will continue to identify the potential impacts of IFRS 16 on its consolidated reports.
The extraordinary transactions that occurred during the period include the following:
that the maximum number of shares that may be purchased each day shall be no more than 25% of the average daily volume of "Tesmec" shares traded on the market;
The breakdown and changes in "Intangible assets" for the period closed as at at 30 June 2018 are shown in the table below:

| Total intangible assets | 18,340 | 3,385 | (103) | (3,860) | 40 | 17,802 |
As at 30 June 2018, intangible assets totalled Euro 17,802 thousand, down Euro 538 thousand on the previous year due to:
development costs capitalised in the first six months of 2018 for Euro 3,072 thousand, entirely offset by the amortisation for the period (Euro 3,284 thousand). These costs are related to projects for the development of new products and equipment that are expected to generate positive cash flows in future years.

| Total property, plant and equipment | 46,102 | 8,073 | (3,051) | (3,103) | 191 | 48,212 |
As at 30 June 2018, property, plant and equipment totalled Euro 48,212 thousand, up compared to the previous year by Euro 2,110 thousand.
The change is due to the increase in costs connected with development of the new Monopoli production facility, which will operate in the Rail sector and which will be active in the third quarter of 2018.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of work in progress contracts as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Work in progress (Gross) | 12,580 | 8,128 |
| Advances from contractors | (3,632) | (1,360) |
| Work in progress contracts | 8,948 | 6,768 |
| Advances from contractors (Gross) | - | - |
| Work in progress (Gross) | - | - |
| Advances from contractors | - | - |
"Work in progress" refers exclusively to the Rail segment where the machinery is produced in accordance with specific customer requirements. "Work in progress" is recognised as an asset if, on the basis of an analysis carried out for each contract, the gross value of work in progress is greater than advances from customers; it is recognised as a liability if the advances are greater than the related work in progress.
If the advances are not collected at the reporting date, the corresponding amount is recognised as trade receivables.
The following table provides a breakdown of the "Inventories" item as at 30 June 2018 compared to 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials and consumables | 38,767 | 36,220 |
| Work in progress | 12,628 | 12,919 |
| Finished products and goods for resale | 10,879 | 13,773 |
| Advances to suppliers for assets | 462 | 213 |
| Total inventories | 62,736 | 63,125 |
Inventory as at 30 June 2018 is substantially in line with the figure at 31 December 2017, recording a decrease in finished products against an increase in raw materials.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of trade receivables as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables from third-party customers | 47,872 | 37,273 |
| Trade receivables from associates, related parties and joint ventures | 6,346 | 2,581 |
| Total trade receivables | 54,218 | 39,854 |
The increase in trade receivables (+36.0%) reflects the seasonal nature of the sales carried out in the last part of the half-year. With particular reference to expected losses on receivables (ECL), based on the new IFRS 9, this has had an impact on the provision for doubtful debts of Euro 415 thousand.
The trade receivables from related parties increased by Euro 3,765 thousand mainly due to higher sales to the related company MTS4SERVICE USA L.L.C.
The following table provides a breakdown of financial receivables and other current financial assets as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial receivables from associates, related parties and joint ventures | 3,701 | 9,386 |
| Financial receivables from third parties | 3,938 | 3,026 |
| Other current financial assets | 35 | 36 |
| Total financial receivables and other current financial assets | 7,674 | 12,448 |
The decrease in current financial assets from Euro 12,448 thousand to Euro 7,674 thousand is mainly due to the decrease in credit positions relating to specific contracts signed with related parties on which an interest rate is applied and repayable within 12 months.
The share capital amounts to Euro 10,708 thousand, fully paid in, and is comprised of 107,084,000 shares with a par value of Euro 0.1 each.
The following table provides a breakdown of Other reserves as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017:
| 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| (Euro in thousands) | ||

| Bills charged directly to shareholders' equity | ||
| on operations with entities under common control | (4,048) | (4,048) |
| Total other reserves | 18,473 | 19,929 |
The revaluation reserve is a suspended taxation reserve, set up in accordance with Italian Law 72/1983.
The reserve for change in the consolidation area includes the effect deriving from the acquisition of 13.21% of Marais Technologies SAS. The price paid to acquire the investment amounted to Euro 1,500 thousand and generated a gain of Euro 197 thousand, which was recognised directly in the consolidation reserve, with a reduction in shareholders' equity attributable to non-controlling interests of Euro 1,697 thousand.
The first adoption IFRS 9 refers to the net impact related to the application of the new standard. The Group has attributed the largest allowance applied to the decrease in equity reserves at January 1, 2018 without restating the comparative data.
The value of the difference from translation of financial statements has a positive impact on shareholders' equity of Euro 730 thousand as at 30 June 2018.
As a result of the resolution of 6 April 2018, with the approval of the 2017 financial statements, the Shareholders' Meeting of Tesmec S.p.A. decided to allocate the profit of the parent company of Euro 1,993 thousand to the extraordinary reserve.
During the first six months of 2018, medium-long term loans increased from Euro 25,243 thousand to Euro 26,914 thousand mainly due to the stipulation of new medium/long-term loans offset by reclassification in current financial indebtedness of the current portion of medium/long-term loans.
The following table provides details of this item as at 30 June 2018 and as at 31 December 2017:
| (Euro in thousands) | 30 June 2018 | 31 December 2017 |

| Other short-term financial payables | 1,472 | 135 |
| Total interest-bearing financial payables (current portion) | 74,816 | 79,022 |
The decrease in current portion of medium/long-term loans is due to the (i) greater advances on exports for Euro 9,528 thousand compensated from (ii) Euro 14,227 thousand related to the decrease in the current portion of medium/long-term loans (of which Euro 7,406 thousand for the loan transaction carried out by Simest S.p.A. in Tesmec USA Inc. during 2010, which expired on 30 June 2018).

Within its scope of operations, the Group is exposed, to a greater or lesser extent, to certain types of risk that are managed as follows.
The Group does not hold derivatives or similar products for purely speculative purposes.
The Tesmec Group's exposure to interest rate risk is managed by taking overall exposure into consideration: as part of the general policy to optimise financial resources, the Group seeks equilibrium, by using less expensive forms of financing.
With regard to the market risk due to changes in the interest rate, the Group's policy is to hedge the exposure related to the portion of medium to long-term indebtedness. Derivative instruments such as swaps, collars and caps are used to manage this risk.
As at 30 June 2018, there were five positions related to derivative instruments of interest rate swap hedging the risk related to the potential increase in interest bearing financial payables (current portion) due to fluctuating market rates. The notional value of these positions was equal to Euro 10.7 million, with a negative equivalent value of Euro 27 thousand. Moreover, there were four interest rate cap positions; the notional value of these positions was equal to Euro 6.8 million, with a negative equivalent value of Euro 27 thousand.
A significant portion of the Group's revenues is generated by sales in foreign countries, including developing countries.
The main transaction currencies used for the Group's sales are the euro and the US dollar. The Group believes that if the exchange rate fluctuations of these two currencies are low, there is no risk to operating margins, insofar as the sale price could be adapted on each occasion to the exchange rate. However, if the US dollar were to depreciate significantly against the euro, we cannot exclude negative effects on margins to the extent that a good portion of sales in US dollars concerns the productions of Italian factories that operate with costs in the Eurozone.
With regard to net exposure that is mainly represented by receivables in US dollars of Tesmec S.p.A., the only hedging instrument adopted is the purchasing of forwards on the US currency. However, these hedges are carried out only for one part of the total exposure in that the timing of the inflow of the receipts in dollars is difficult to predict at the level of each sales invoice. Besides, for a good part of the sales in dollars, the Group uses the production of the American factory with costs in US dollars by creating in this way a sort of natural hedging of the currency exposure.
Forward sale instruments for fixing the exchange rate at the moment of the order are mainly used for covering the risk of the dollar exposure deriving from:
i) selling trenchers produced in Italy in Middle Eastern countries;
ii) selling stringing machines produced in Italy in the USA where purchases are in euro, and sales in US dollars.
Despite the adoption of the above strategies aimed at reducing the risks arising from fluctuation of exchange rates, the Group cannot exclude that future changes thereof might affect the results of the Group. Fluctuations in exchange rates could also significantly affect the comparability of the results of each financial period.
As at 30 June 2018, there were two forward cover contracts of the Euro/ZAR and Euro/USD exchange rate. The notional value of these positions was equal to Euro 2.4 million, with a positive equivalent value of Euro 84 thousand.
For the Group, credit risk is closely linked to the sale of products on the market. In particular, the extent of the risk depends on both technical and commercial factors and the purchaser's solvency.
From a commercial viewpoint, the Group is not exposed to high credit risk insofar as it has been operating for years in markets where payment on delivery or letter of credit issued by a prime international bank are usually used as payment methods. For customers located in the European region, the Group mainly uses factoring without recourse. The provisions for doubtful accounts are considered to be a good indication of the extent of the overall credit risk.
In general, price risk is linked to the fluctuation of commodity prices.
Specifically, the price risk of the Group is mitigated by the presence of many suppliers of raw materials as well as by the need to receive absolute guarantees on supply volumes, in order not to affect the warehouse stock.
In reality, this risk seems remote for two fundamental reasons:
the existence and use of alternative suppliers;
the assortment of raw materials and components used in the production of the Tesmec machinery: it is unlikely for all of them to be affected by increasing price tensions at the same time.
In particular, in the current market situation, this risk seems particularly weakened by the situation of oversupply in many markets.
Financial requirements and related risks (mainly interest rate risks, liquidity and exchange rate risks) are managed by the Group based on guidelines defined by the Group General Management and approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent Company.
The main purpose of these guidelines is to guarantee the presence of a liability structure always in equilibrium with the composition of balance sheet assets, in order to maintain a very sound balance sheet structure. Forms of financing most commonly used are represented by:
interest-bearing financial payables with multi-year redemption plan, to cover the investments in fixed assets and to finance expenses related to several development projects;
short-term loans, advances on export, transfers of trade receivables, to finance the working capital.
The average cost of indebtedness is benchmarked to the trend of the 1/3-month Euribor rates for short-term loans and the 3/6-month Euribor rates for medium to long-term loans. Some interest rate hedges have been set in place for floating medium/long-term loans. Loan contracts signed with ICCREA-BCC, BNL and Comerica contain certain financial covenant clauses.
Tesmec Group adopts a purchasing policy aimed at diversifying the suppliers of components that have unique characteristics in terms of purchased volumes or high added value. However, the termination for any reason of these supply relations could imply for the Group provisioning problems for these raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, in relation to the quantity and time suitable for ensuring the continuity of production, or purchasing could lead to time issues in order to achieve quality standards already acquired with the old supplier.
In relation to financial instruments measured at fair value, the following table shows the classification of such instruments on the basis of the hierarchy of levels required by IFRS 13, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring the fair value. The levels are broken down as follows:
The following table shows the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as at 30 June 2018, divided into the three levels defined above:

The table below shows the breakdown of Revenues from sales and services as at 30 June 2018 and as at 30 June 2017:
| Half-year ended 30 June | ||||

| Changes in work in progress | 4,442 | 4,910 | ||
| Total revenues from sales and services | 91,099 | 91,114 |
In the first six months of 2018, the Group consolidated revenues of Euro 91,099 thousand, in line with the same period of the previous year. In percentage terms, this change is split disparately between the Group's three business areas. More specifically, an increase of +31.6% was recorded for the Rail segment, +17.0% for the Trencher segment, and a decrease of -35.0% for the Energy segment.
The decrease in revenues in the Energy segment is mainly attributable to the fact that revenues for the first half of 2017 benefited from a large order to supply stringing equipment for the Indonesian market, completed at the end of 2016 that in terms of turnover had an impact primarily on the first quarter of 2017.
The considerable increase in revenues for the Trencher segment confirms the Group's strategy of focusing on service and project management activities in key areas such as the Middle East. In Kuwait, for example, as many as 12 Tesmec trenchers are at work, used in various infrastructure projects.
For the Rail segment, revenues improved compared to the same period of the previous year due to technological advances that the Group is pursuing in terms of Research & Development, supplying integrated solutions on the catenary wire system and to the development phase of the production activities concerning the sizeable orders acquired at the end of 2016.
The item operating costs amounted to Euro 88,737 thousand, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the previous year, in line with respect to the performance in revenues.
For management purposes, Tesmec Group is organised into strategic business units identified based on the goods and services provided, and presents three operating segments for disclosure purposes:
Energy segment
Trencher segment
machines and integrated systems for the installation, maintenance and diagnostics of the railway catenary wire system, plus customised machines for special operations on the line.
No operating segment has been aggregated in order to determine the indicated operating segments that are the subject of the reporting.

(*) EBITDA is represented by the operating income including amortisation/depreciation. The EBITDA thus defined represents a measurement used by Company management to monitor and assess the operating performance. EBITDA is not recognised as a measure of performance by IFRS and therefore is not to be considered an alternative measurement for assessing the performance of the Group's operating income. As the composition of EBITDA is not governed by the reference accounting standards, the calculation criterion applied by the Group may not be in line with the criterion adopted by others and is therefore not comparable.
Management, monitors separately the results achieved by the business units in order to make decisions on resource, allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is assessed based on operating income. Group financial management (including financial income and charges) and income tax are managed at Group level and are not allocated to the individual operating segments.
