Some figures in the consolidated financial statements at 31 M arch 2016 have been restated to reflect the accounting of the Chinese companies, Worldex and Haikou Worldex, under IFRS 5.

The results for the quarter under review reveal a positive business trend, in line with the Company's expectations, although below the results for the corresponding period of 2016, mainly due to the different exhibition calendar which in the first quarter of the previous year included Convegno Expocomfort, the leading international biennial exhibition for civil and industrial plant. The impact of this calendar was partially offset by the positive trend of the annual hosted exhibitions including LineaPelle and the related exhibition Simac Tanning-Tech dedicated to technology for the footwear and leather apparel production sectors, and also Milano Unica, dedicated to textile and clothing accessory collections. It should also be noted that the first quarter results also reflect the contribution of the Promotion Trade Exhibition, an annual international exhibition for promotional goods, corporate gifts and personalisation, which was directly organised for the first time by Fiera Milano, which resulted in an improved performance for the exhibition.

Amongst the Group's international operations was the signing, on 22 February 2017, of a contract to sell the Group's 75% shareholding in Worldex Fiera Milano Exhibitions Co., Ltd., which operates in China. The terms of divestment are an initial disposal price of Euro 2.750 million, plus a deferred component of up to Euro 1.000 million linked to the achievement of target results over the three year period 2017-2019. Completion of the deal took place on 24 April 2017 with the issue of a new business license by the relevant Chinese authorities. This disposal is consistent with the objective of concentrating all of the Group's activities in China in its joint venture with its German partner Deutsche Messe.

Administration Orders

With an order issued on 23 June 2016 and deposited on 24 June 2016, the Milan District Court-Prevention Court Independent Section, issued, under Article 34 of the Legislative Decree of 6 September 2011 no. 159 pertaining to the "anti-mafia laws and prevention measures, including new provisions covering anti-mafia documentation in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Legislative Decree of 13 August 2010 no. 136", an Administration Order for Nolostand for a period of six months. On 6 July 2016 the Milan Tax Squad notified Nolostand SpA of the aforementioned Administration Order.

With an order issued on 28 September 2016 and deposited on 11 October 2016, the Milan District Court – Prevention Court Independent Section issued, under Article 34 of the Legislative Decree 159/2011 an Administration Order for Fiera Milano SpA for a period of six months limited to the business area linked to Nolostand, involving the stand-fitting business division.

On 20 December 2016 the Administration Order for Nolostand was extended for a further six months and the Orders of Nolostand and Fiera Milano were also unified. On 28 March 2017 the Milan District Court – Prevention Court Independent Section extended for a further six months the Administration Order relating to the Company's exhibition stand-fitting business division which had been scheduled to expire on 11 April 2017.

The activities of the Group are highly seasonal due to the impact of biennial exhibitions. Given the seasonal nature of the Group's activities, the revenues and results reported in individual quarters may vary substantially from one quarter to the next.

A detailed analysis of the results for the first quarter 2017 reveals the following trends:

• Revenues from sales and services totalled Euro 65.396 million compared to the result for the same quarter of the previous year (Euro 76.890 million).

A detailed analysis of the main changes in the quarter is shown below:

• Annual exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (-5,480 square metres): the decline was mainly attributable to the absence of the exhibition Bit (-13,505 square metres) which took place in the second quarter. This was partially compensated by an increase in demand for exhibition space for HOMI I semester (+5,905 square metres) and the presence in the period of the annual international exhibition for promotional goods, Promotion Trade Exhibition (+4,355 square metres) which was for the first time organised by Fiera Milano Group;
• Annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-17,675 square metres): the decline was primarily due to the absence of the exhibition Esposizione Internazionale Canina and the postponement of Milano Auto Classica to later quarters. This effect was partly compensated by the presence of the exhibition MAM – Mostra a Milano Arte e Antiquariato, which took place for the first time in the fieramilanocity exhibition area, as well as an improvement in the exhibitions Milano Unica Spring edition, My Plant & Garden, LineaPelle February edition and Simac Tanning-Tech.
• Biennial exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (+56,765 square metres): the difference is attributable to the biennial exhibition held in uneven-numbered years Transpotec Logitec;
• Biennial exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-65,335 square metres): the difference is primarily due to the absence of the biennial exhibition held in evennumbered years Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (-118,395 square metres) partially compensated by the presence of the biennial exhibition held in uneven-numbered years Made Expo (+52,515 square metres);
• Congresses with related exhibition areas reported an increase of 1,600 square metres;
• Annual exhibitions organised by the Group abroad (+8,105 square metres): the increase is mainly due to the Chinese exhibition Chinafloor Domotex Shanghai.

The table below gives a summary of the net square metres of exhibition space occupied by the various Fiera Milano Group exhibitions and by congresses with related exhibition space.

• The gross operating profit for the quarter was Euro 8.819 million, a decline of Euro 9.608 million compared with the result reported for the same quarter of the previous year (Euro 18.427 million). The gross operating profit in 2017 reflects the trend of revenues and the higher consultancy costs arising from the review of company processes as a consequence of the procedures relating to the ongoing Administration Order.
• The net operating profit (EBIT) for the quarter was Euro 6.375 million compared to Euro 16.058 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decline of Euro 9.683 million is mainly due to the aforementioned reduction in gross operating profit.
• The profit before income tax was Euro 6.168 million compared to Euro 15.657 million in the first quarter of 2016. The profit before income tax attributable to the shareholders of the controlling entity was Euro 6.246 million (Euro 15.742 million in the first quarter of 2016) while there was a loss before income tax of Euro 0.078 million attributable to noncontrolling interests (loss of Euro 0.085 million in the first quarter of 2016).
• Finally, cash flow in the quarter (calculated as the result before income tax plus depreciation, amortisation, provisions and adjustments to asset values) was Euro 8.612 million compared to Euro 18.026 million in the same quarter of the previous financial year.

A breakdown of the Group net financial position is shown in the following table.

Net financial debt at 31 March 2017 was Euro 13.341 million compared to Euro 38.316 million at 31 December 2016.

The decrease of Euro 24.975 million in net financial debt is attributable to the positive cash flow in the quarter and the positive change in cash flows arising from net working capital, principally as a result of advances for exhibitions that are to take place in later quarters.

Revenues from sales and services, before elimination of transactions among the five business segments of the Group, were Euro 76.723 million, representing a decrease of Euro 14.121 million compared to the first quarter of 2016.

• Revenues from Italian Exhibitions in the first quarter were Euro 58.216 million, a decrease of about 14% compared to the figure for the same period of the previous financial year (Euro 68.019 million). The decline in revenues mainly reflects the less favourable exhibition calendar owing to the absence of the important biennial exhibition held in even-numbered years Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and for the postponement of Bit to the second quarter. The impact of this was partly offset by the presence of the exhibitions held in unevennumbered years Made Expo and Transpotec & Logitec and from the positive results of the directly organised exhibitions HOMI and Promotion Trade Exhibition, the latter of which was a hosted exhibition in 2016.
• Revenues from Foreign Exhibitions in the first quarter were Euro 0.518 million, an increase compared to the result for the same period of the previous financial year (Euro 0.343 million). The change is mainly due to higher demand for exhibition space at the exhibition Cape Town Art Fair.
• Revenues from Stand-fitting Services in the first quarter were Euro 9.811 million representing a decrease of about 36% compared to the figure for the same period of 2016 (Euro 15.378 million). The difference mainly reflects the negative impact of the different exhibition calendar as well as the absence of revenues linked to the dismantling of structures associated with Expo 2015 which occurred in the same quarter of last year.
• Revenues in the Media segment in the first quarter totalled Euro 2.472 million, showing a decline of about 14% compared to the figure for the same period of 2016 (Euro 2.873 million). The difference is primarily due to the absence of the biennial exhibition held in evennumbered years Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and to lower revenues from the education market.
• Revenues from Congresses in the first quarter totalled Euro 5.706 million compared to Euro 4.231 million in the same period of 2016. The increase is to a large extent due to the trend of congresses and conventions amongst which the most important are: Identità Golose 2017, Allianz Bank 2017, Milanofil and Festival dell'Oriente.

The Group Gross operating profit in first quarter 2016 was Euro 8.819 million revealing a reduction compared to the figure for the first quarter of 2016 (Euro 18.427 million). The breakdown by operating segment was as follows:

• Italian Exhibitions: had a gross operating profit of Euro 7.902 million compared to Euro 14.889 million in the same period of the previous financial year. The difference is primarily related to the trend of revenues and to the higher consultancy costs arising from the review of company processes as a consequence of the procedures relating to the ongoing Administration Order.
• Foreign exhibitions: generated a gross operating profit of Euro 0.983 million representing an improvement on the Euro 0.920 million reported for the first quarter of 2016.
• Stand-fitting services: had a gross operating profit of Euro 0.561 million compared to Euro 2.990 million in the same period of the previous year. The decline in the sector was mainly due to the trend of revenues described previously.
• Media: produced a gross operating loss of Euro 0.248 million which was a deterioration compared to the loss of Euro 0.043 million reported for the same quarter of 2016. The decline in the quarter was mainly due to the trend of revenues described above.
• Congresses: generated a gross operating loss of Euro 0.379 million compared to a loss of Euro 0.294 million for the same quarter of 2016. The decline is primarily attributable to the reduction in "other income" which in the same period of last year benefited from insurance settlements relating to damage to the congress centre MiCo Nord.

The Net operating profit (EBIT) of the five operating segments in the first quarter 2017 was Euro 6.375 million compared to Euro 16.058 million in the same period of the previous year, which reflects the trend of the gross operating profit.

The breakdown by geographic area in the first quarter reveals that revenues from foreign activities was Euro 0.518 million representing an increase of about 63% compared to the figure for the same period of the previous year (Euro 0.317 million). The Gross operating profit was Euro 0.975 million representing an improvement over the same period of the previous year of Euro 0.138 million.

The Net operating profit (EBIT) was Euro 0.705 million compared to the result for the same period of the previous year of Euro 0.611 million.

During the quarter under review, seventeen exhibitions and six congresses with related exhibition space were held in the two sites of fieramilano and fieramilanocity. Net exhibition space occupied totalled 467,365 square metres compared to 497,490 square metres in the same period of the preceding financial year, whilst the number of exhibitors fell from 10,270 in the first quarter of 2016 to 9,515 in the first quarter of 2017.

Exhibitions directly organised by the Group in Italy and abroad occupied 231,035 square metres of net exhibition space, equal to about 42% of the total space occupied.

Significant events occurring after the end of the quarter

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company was held on 21 April 2017. The Meeting approved the Financial Statements at 31 December 2016 as well as the resolution to cover the loss for the financial year of Euro 25,159,578.92 through utilisation of the share price premium reserve and to cover the residual loss of the preceding financial year of Euro 154,268.60 through utilisation of the share price premium reserve. The Shareholders' Meeting also approved Section One of the Remuneration Report pursuant to Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98. Finally, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the appointment of the new Board of Directors, which will remain in office for the financial years 2017-2019 and granted approval for the purchase and sale of treasury shares. An Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders of the Parent Company was held on the same day which amended Articles 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 of the Articles of Association at the request of the shareholder Fondazione Fiera Milano pursuant to Article 2367 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 125-ter of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998.

On 24 April 2017 the Group completed the sale of 75% shareholding in Worldex Fiera Milano Exhibitions Co., Ltd following the release of a new business license by the relevant Chinese Authorities. This disposal is consistent with the objective of concentrating all of the Group's activities in China in its joint venture with its German partner Deutsche Messe.

Business outlook

The first quarter results reveal a positive trend that is in line with the Company's expectations. The remainder of the financial year 2017 will reflect the benefits of the more favourable exhibition calendar when, amongst other events, the important directly organised biennial exhibitions Tuttofood and Host take place.

The exhibition calendar for the next months of the current year will also be enriched by the inclusion of new exhibitions, some directly organised and others organised by third-parties: the new directly organised exhibitions include Versilia Yachting Rendez-vous, while among the fairs organised by third parties are Lamiera, Expo Ferroviaria and the international dog show ENCI Winner.

The Group therefore expects a significant improvement in the gross operating profit in 2017 compared to the previous year, in the absence of currently unforeseen events or developments.

Comments on the capital and financial position

Non-current assets totalled Euro 162.234 million at 31 March 2017 compared to Euro 160.882 million at 31 December 2016. The increase of Euro 1.352 million is attributable to the net effect of investments of Euro 1.660 million, depreciation and amortisation of Euro 1.707 million, exchange rate differences of Euro 0.053 million, changes in the value of equity accounted investments of Euro 1.511 million and a negative figure for other movements totalling Euro 0.165 million.

Net working capital moved from a negative figure of Euro 46.527 million at 31 December 2016 to a negative figure of Euro 67.855 million at 31 March 2017.

The difference of Euro 21.328 million was due to the following:

• (a) a Euro 24.263 million increase in Current assets, that was mainly due to a Euro 20.018 million increase in Trade and other receivables. This mainly reflected the increase in Parent Company accruals relating to the second quarter rental charges for the two exhibition sites which were paid in advance in January and to the trend of revenues and receipts from exhibitions held in the quarter;
• (b) a Euro 45.591 million increase in Current liabilities, due primarily to the net effect of:
• an increase in Trade payables of Euro 12.956 million.
• an increase in advances of Euro 22.690 million, which was the net of increases for advances invoiced to clients for exhibitions that are scheduled to take place in future quarters (in particular Tuttofood, Salone del Mobile, Euroluce, Bit) and a decrease in advances for exhibitions held in the first quarter of 2017 (in particular Homi January edition);
• an increase of Euro 10.884 million in Provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities due to higher payables to exhibition organisers.

At 31 March 2017 Non-current liabilities totalled Euro 15.223 million compared to Euro 16.409 million at 31 December 2016.

Equity attributable to the Group at 31 March 2017 was Euro 67.253 million compared to Euro 61.006 million at 31 December 2016. The increase of Euro 6.247 million reflected the effect of the following:

• an increase of Euro 6.246 million in the profit before income tax for the period;
• an increase of Euro 0.001 million in the translation reserve.

Net equity attributable to non-controlling interests at 31 March 2017 was Euro 0.611 million compared to Euro 0.673 million at 31 December 2016. The decline of Euro 0.062 million reflects:

• A Euro 0.078 million reduction in the pre-tax profit for the period;
• A Euro 0.016 million transfer to the capital account.

Information on the change in financial assets and liabilities is given in the comment on the net financial position.
