1st HALF 2017 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net exhibition space occupied in Italy: 867,150 square metres (31% from directly organised exhibitions), compared to 807,355 square metres in 1H16
  • • Consolidated 1H17 revenues of Euro 141.9 million (Euro 138.6 million in 1H16) reflecting the contribution of new exhibitions; this was, in part, offset by a decrease in the revenues of the stand-fitting business
  • • 1H17 consolidated gross operating profit: Euro 13.5 million (Euro 21.1 million in 1H16), affected by some extraordinary costs linked to the overhaul of corporate procedures and the development costs for proprietary exhibitions
  • • 1H17 consolidatednet operating profit: Euro 8.4 million (Euro 14.2 million in 1H16)
  • • On 22 February 2017, the Company signed a contract to sell its 75% shareholding in Worldex Fiera Milano Exhibitions Co. Ltd., which operates in China (the sale was finalised on 24 April 2017): this disposal was part of the strategy to concentrate all the Group's activities in China in the joint venture with its German partner Deutsche Messe
  • • On 20 June 2017, the Milan Court – Prevention Court Independent Section lifted the administration order imposed on the subsidiary Nolostand

Some figures in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2016 have been restated to reflect, under IFRS 5, the sale of the Chinese companies, Worldex and Haikou Worldex finalised on 24 April 2017.

  • • The increase in revenues was mainly due to the strong performance of Exposec in Brazil and the presence of the biennial exhibition Reatech organised in the same country
  • • The Gross operating result reflected the trend in revenues and the improvement in the equity-accounted joint venture with Deutsche Messe AG. This was, in part, offset by higher personnel costs in the Brazilian subsidiary, Cipa

The improvement in the net financial debt is attributable to the positive cash flow generated from operations in the semester and to movements in net working capital, primarily payments and advances received for the exhibitions held in the semester and for those due to be held in coming months

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE SEMESTER

  • • On 25 July 2017, an Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting was held that increased the number of Board members to nine and appointed as a new Director Mr Fabrizio Curci effective from 1 September 2017 with a mandate that expires at the Shareholders' Meeting to approve the Financial Statements at 31 December 2019
  • • The meeting of the Board of Directors, held immediately after the Shareholders' Meeting, appointed Mr Fabrizio Curci as Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Fiera Milano SpA from 1 September 2017

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

  • • The performance in the first semester of the current financial year was positive albeit negatively impacted by some necessary extraordinary costs that were mainly consultancy fees for the overhaul of corporate procedures
  • • Given the lifting of the administration order on the subsidiary Nolostand, the Company is finalising all the initiatives to optimise and introduce new working models and methodologies that ensure more effective and secure business management: the hearing for the outcome of the administration order on the standfitting business division of Fiera Milano is scheduled to take place on 28 September 2017
  • • The remainder of the year should benefit from the effect of a more favourable exhibition calendar that includes the important directly organised biennial exhibition Host, the world leader in the professional hospitality sector
  • • Therefore, barring any unforeseen events or circumstances, the Group expects a consistent year-on-year improvement in the gross operating profit for full-year 2017
  • • The Company is confident that its governance issues have been resolved and that this will ensure management stability, a renewed business focus and the introduction of improved corporate strategies
