Results of the first nine months of 2022:
Milan, 9 November 2022 - The Board of Directors of Fiera Milano S.p.A. ("Fiera Milano" and/or the "Company"), leader in Italy and one of the main integrated operators worldwide in the exhibition and congress industry, today approved the results as of 30 September 2022.
Luca Palermo, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Fiera Milano, commented: "The excellent results achieved in the first nine months of 2022 represent an important sign of the well-established recovery after the difficult years of the pandemic. Business continuity, unlike what happened in 2021, allows us to lay solid foundations for the future, starting from 2023 which presents itself with a rich calendar full of trade fairs. Fiera Milano is proving to be increasingly competitive in strengthening its international attractiveness, playing a fundamental role in the development of Italian companies abroad and confirming Milan, and its exhibition center, as an international hub capable of offering a unique platform for relevant hosted events of global relevance. I am thinking about events such as Gastech, capable of enhancing and increasing the direct economic impact on our territory. Or about more international events such as FIND that Fiera Milano has organized to offer our design companies the opportunity to export to Asia one of the main representative sectors of Made in Italy in the world. Based on the information available and considering the very positive results recorded in the first nine months of the year, both in terms of significant participation in the exhibitions and the maintenance of the expected pricing levels and volumes, we revise the EBITDA target upwards for the year 2022 in the new range of euro 50-55 million, higher than the range of euro 40- 50 million declared in February 2021 in the CONN.E.C.T. 2025 plan. Alongside the economic-financial objectives, the Group's commitment to develop an increasingly sustainable business model continues. In fact, we have started the process of measuring the carbon footprint of our events with the aim of reducing their environmental impact, in line with our adhesion to the international Net Carbon Zero Events initiative. Commitment also recognized by the ESG rating agency Sustainalytics which evaluated Fiera Milano by placing it in the second best rating class "Low
1 For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the net financial position including the IFRS 16 lease liability amounted to Euro 354.7 million at 30 September 2022, compared to Euro 364.6 million at 31 December 2021.
ESG Risk" and recognizing the company's ability to effectively manage ESG factors, with particular appreciation for corporate governance policies".
In the first nine months of 2022, consolidated Revenues amounted to Euro 161.7 million, an increase of Euro 121.8 million compared to the first nine months of 2021.
In the quarter, consolidated revenues equal to Euro 45.5 million, recorded an increase of Euro 10.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2021. In the three months of July, August and September, 17 trade fairs were held which occupied a total of 318,820 square meters of exhibition space compared to 263,595 square meters in the third quarter of 2021.
It is noted that the Group's business has seasonal elements due to exhibitions that are held on a biennial or multiyear basis. Moreover, the results for the first nine months of 2022 are compared with the first nine months of 2021, which were affected by the suspension of activities in Italy following the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the Group's financial information has limited temporal comparability of its financial results both on an annual and interim basis.

In the third quarter, the revenues of the Italian Exhibition Business amounted to Euro 32.3 million, recording an increase of Euro 4.9 million compared to 2021. During the quarter 10 exhibitions were held, starting with the 35th edition of Milano Unica, the reference fair for the textile industry which confirmed a strong recovery scenario with 445 exhibitors and 4,052 participating companies. Following this, in September, Fiera Milano hosted the 50th edition of Gastech, the largest international event in the world dedicated to the energy industry, which was held for the first time in Milan. The event recorded a record attendance with 39,467 industry professionals, 300 CEOs and Opinion Leaders and 750 exhibiting companies.
Allianz MiCo hosted Filo, the international exhibition dedicated to the excellence of yarns. The event saw the presence of foreign buyers from 13 countries and 93 exhibitors, of which 30% foreigners. Starting from 16 September, the pavilions of Fiera Milano have hosted the most important trade fairs in the fashion world, associated with Confindustria Moda. MICAM Milano, Mipel, TheOneMilano, together with HOMI Fashion & Jewels Exhibition welcomed a total of 35,470 professional operators and more than 3,000 brands. Finally, Lineapelle and Simac Tanning Tech hosted about 1,200 exhibitors and took place in synergy with Milan fashion fairs.

Last July it opened a representative office at the Lombardy Region Brussels delegation Office, thanks to which it will be able to further implement stakeholder engagement activities with the European institutions. The capital of Belgium, in addition to being home to most of the institutions, also has a strategic position at the fair level as it is the headquarters of EMECA, the association that represents the most important European exhibition centers, including Fiera Milano.

° The exhibition was organised in partnership
a) The exhibition did not take place b) The exhibition took place/will take place in the following quarters
The revenues of the Congress business in the quarter amounted to Euro 11.8 million, an increase of Euro2.4 million compared to 2021. The increase is attributable to the restart of congress activity and compares with the same periods of 2021, conditioned by the suspension of the conferences in Italy following the Covid-19 pandemic. The main congress events hosted in 2022 were the Salone del Risparmio, Sales Force, World of Coffee, ESA - European Congress of Anesthesia, ECE - European Congress of Endocrinology and EAS - European Congress on Atherosclerosis, EADV - European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, ESCRS - European Society of Refractive Surgery and Cataract, in addition to corporate events such as the Allianz Bank Convention, the Banca Generali Convention and the Azimut Convention.
In total, more than 10 congress events took place in the quarter (of which 6 events related to conventions with related exhibition areas).
It should also be reminded that the insurance and financial group Allianz has signed a nine-year agreement with Fiera Milano Congressi to acquire the naming rights for the congress centre in Piazzale Carlo Magno in Milan, which has been renamed Allianz MiCo. The new partnership gives the MiCo-Milano Convention Centre, Europe's largest congress centre with 65 halls and 50,000 square metres of exhibition space, even greater international appeal thanks to the strength of the Allianz brand, the leading insurance brand among groups operating globally in financial services.
Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2022 amounted to Euro 49.9 million, an improvement of Euro 56.9 million compared to the first 9 months of 2021. The positive change mainly reflects the positive trend in Revenues. In relation to the exhibition sector, this effect was partially offset by the presence in the same months of 2021 of the benefit deriving from the activation of the Salary Integration Fund (FIS) as well as from the result of the joint venture held jointly with the Deutsche MESSE AG, which, regarding the exhibitions in China, did not include scheduled events in the period under review.
In particular, consolidated EBITDA for the quarter of Euro 10.3 million shows a negative change of Euro 5.6 million compared to the figure recorded in the same quarter of the previous year. The change is mainly attributable to the presence in the third quarter of 2021 of non-recurring income related to the contribution provided by SIMEST from the Integrated Promotion Fund to cover fixed costs not covered by profits.
| EBITDA (in millions of Euro) | 3Q 2021 | 3Q 2022 | 9M 2021 | 9M 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Italian Exhibitions Business | 13.5 | 5.6 | (6.9) | 40.8 |
| Foreign Exhibitions Business | (0.4) | 0.0 | (0.9) | (0.7) |
| Congresses | 3.2 | 4.7 | 1.8 | 9.7 |
| Media1 | (0.4) | - | (1.1) | 0 |
| Consolidated EBITDA | 16.0 | 10.3 | (7.0) | 49.9 |
1) In 4Q 2021, following the disposal of the "publishing headings" business unit, the activities relating to the Media sector were integrated into the Italian Exhibition Business.
EBIT for the first nine months of 2022 amounted to Euro 14.1 million, an improvement of Euro 54.6 million compared to the first nine months of 2021. The positive change of Euro 54.6 reflects the trend in EBITDA partially offset by higher amortization related to the increase in investments which took place in 2021. EBIT for the quarter is equal to Euro -1.7 million compared to Euro 4.8 million in the quarter 2021. The negative change (Euro 6.5 million) mainly reflects the performance of EBITDA.
Net Profit for the first nine months of 2022 equal to Euro 0.9 million shows a significant improvement compared to the loss of Euro -24.2 million recorded in 2021. In the quarter Net Profit recorded a loss of Euro -4.4 million in line with the dynamics described above with reference to the EBITDA and EBIT trends.
Net Financial Debt at 30 September 2022, not including the IFRS 162 lease liability, shows a net cash of Euro 51.2 million compared to a net cash of Euro 47.3 million at 31 December 2021. The improvement of Euro 3.7 million is mainly attributable to the generation of cash recorded during the first nine months of 2022. At 30 June 2022 Net Financial Debt had a net cash of 55.6 million euros compared to 51.2 million euros at 30 September .

| Net Financial Position (cash) before IFRS 16 effects | (47.3) | (55.6) | (51.2) |
2 For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the Net Financial Position including the IFRS 16 lease liability amounted to Euro 354.7 million at 30 September 2022, compared to Euro 359.5 million at 30 June 2022 and to Euro 364.6 million at 31 December 2021.
During 2022, the economy showed a widespread slowdown in the major countries after a very dynamic 2021, with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict exacerbating existing critical issues: accelerating inflation, obstacles to the functioning of value chains, further increases in energy and food commodity prices, tensions inherited from the last two years of the Coronavirus outbreak. These difficulties, coupled with the changes in monetary policies announced and adopted in some countries, caused a general worsening of the medium- and short-term outlook for the economy at national and international level.
The conflict in Ukraine had an impact on exhibitions held in Milan in the first nine months of 2022 with the almost total absence of Russian buyers and exhibitors, an absence only partially offset by the arrival of buyers and exhibitors from other Asian and Middle Eastern regions. Therefore, the Group considers it likely, in light of the prolonged conflict, that the last quarter of 2022 will also see the absence of exhibitors from these countries.
With reference to the issue of shortages and difficulties in the supply of raw materials, to meet its needs, dictated by the exhibition calendar, and to guarantee coverage for 2022, the Group has implemented preventive procurement policies, while at the same time launching supply diversification processes. The potential economic impact, although difficult to quantify also in relation to the pressure on inflation driven by the sharp increases in energy and raw material prices, appear to be limited for 2022 and not likely to affect the forecasted annual result. With particular reference to energy price increases, while awaiting effective government economic measures to support companies with structural interventions, the Group is planning the implementation of specific risk mitigation plans aimed at energy efficiency in the exhibition halls, also providing the possibility of expanding the photovoltaic system installed on the roofs of the Rho district, which currently contributes to the generation of approximately 20% of Fiera Milano's energy needs.
With regard to the public health situation, the first half of the year saw a gradual removal of anti-Covid restrictions by government authorities, culminating in the end of the state of emergency on 31 March 2022, and the lapse of green pass obligations as of 1 May 2022. At present, the Group plans to hold all exhibition and congress events in its European portfolio in the coming months. With regard to the situation in China, the zero-Covid policies of local authorities have led to new generalised lock-downs in the country's main cities with the consequent suspension of exhibition activities and reduced international mobility. The Group is continuing to monitor the development of the situation and it should be noted that exhibitions planned in the first nine months the year in the region have been rescheduled between the final part of November and December and potential impacts are expected in any case linked to the persistence of the pandemic.
On the basis of the above evaluations and considering i) responsiveness and flexibility demonstrated over the last two years in favouring the gradual reopening of exhibitions and congress events, driving the recovery of the entire industry at a time of great macroeconomic stress; and ii) the very positive results recorded in the first nine months of the year, both in terms of significant participation in exhibitions and maintenance of the expected pricing levels and volumes; the Group, even though considering in the prospective estimates the potential negative effects deriving from the blocking of activities in China and the conflict in Ukraine, revises upwards the EBITDA target for the year 2022 in the new range of Euro 50-55 million, higher than the range of Euro 40-50 million declared in February 2021 in the CONN.E.C.T. 2025 plan.
Sustainalytics rating agency issued the ESG rating on Fiera Milano with a score of 16.9 (on a scale between 0 and> 40, where 0 is the best rating and > 40 the worst), positioning Fiera Milano Group in the second best rating class "Low Risk". Thanks to a solid management of ESG risks as well as to policies and programs launched in the area of sustainability, Fiera Milano is in the 15% of the most virtuous companies among the approximately 15,000 evaluated worldwide by Sustainalytics. There were eight material topics identified for the Fiera Milano business model (Corporate Governance, Human Capital, Health and Safety, Ethics and Anti-Corruption, Product Governance, Environmental Management and GHG Emissions) in reference to which were evaluated more than 50 indicators related to management, policies, programs, initiatives, performance, measurement, disclosure and reporting of the individual areas.
The corporate governance of Fiera Milano was particularly positively assessed with a "strong / above average" rating compared to the reference panel. The social dimension has seen in the management of the health and safety of employees and customers and in the development of resources the most valued areas. Lastly, Sustainalytics, even though considering Fiera Milano Group to be modestly exposed to environmental risks, appreciates and recognizes its distinctive skills in the measurement of GHG emissions and in the related programs that involve its events.
The ratings of Sustainalytics, controlled by Morningstar and specialized in assessing how effectively companies manage ESG risks, are intended as a universal and independent yardstick for investors, shareholders and analysts and are publicly available on the Sustainalytics platform at this address: https://www.sustainalytics.com/esgrating/fiera-milano-spa/1013583801.
It should also be mentioned that during 2022 Fiera Milano received several awards for its commitment to promoting good sustainability practices:
The positive ESG rating obtained and the important acknowledgments described above are a further confirmation of how for Fiera Milano Group sustainability is increasingly integrated into the corporate risk management system and into the business model, representing a strategic lever for creating sustainable value over time.
Fiera Milano, in line with the 2021-2025 Sustainability Plan, which is integrated into the CONN.E.C.T 2025 strategic plan, and coherently with its corporate mission "To be a leading platform for innovative, sustainable and global events", has launched the carbon footprint assessment process generated by its events.
The September edition of Homi Fashion & Jewels, the event dedicated to jewelry and fashion accessories, was the first step towards this virtuous path, which confirms Fiera Milano's commitment to reduce the environmental impact of its events. The Group has developed, with the support of Rete Clima, a proprietary and innovative model for measuring GHG emissions deriving from the events held in its exhibition spaces, according to the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology, combined with the evaluation parameters of the ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO 14067 standards.
The September edition of Homi Fashion & Jewels is estimated to have generated 1.256 tons of CO2 equivalent. The greater environmental impact, equal to 70% of the total CO2 emissions deriving from the event, was generated by the mobility of visitors, followed by the mobility of exhibitors (20%) and by the emission sources generated by the production and the transport of the stand-fittings at the district (panels, doors, furnishings, profiles, platforms, flooring and prints) which accounted for approximately 5% of the total emissions generated. The consumption of electricity and the emission sources deriving from the production and transport of food and drinks respectively generate 2% and 1% of total emissions. Minor impacts resulting from waste treatment, employee mobility and advertising material to sponsor the event.
The 1,256 tCO2e produced by Homi Fashion & Jewels were entirely neutralized through the purchase and subsequent cancellation of certified carbon credits (Verra Standard) which allowed Fiera Milano to support the Photovoltaic Power certified Project at Jalgaon in India, in the Maharashtra region: it is a photovoltaic plant with a power of 8.5 MW, capable of injecting 13,961 MWh / year of renewable energy into the grid available to local communities, thus favoring technology transfer in the region and offsetting the CO2 emissions generated by Homi Fashion & Jewels. Thanks to this process, the event was therefore "carbon neutral".
The measurement of the carbon footprint of its events, associating the respective emission sources to the individual phases of the event, will allow Fiera Milano to undertake targeted efficiency actions related to the individual phases of the event, which will be prioritized based on the degree of influence of the Company on the specific emission sources and the extent of their environmental impact.
The path started by Fiera Milano is part of the wider commitment of the Group to adhere to the industry global initiative Net Carbon Zero Events which brings together all exhibition operators with the aim of defining a common roadmap for the decarbonisation of events, and Fiera Milano, based on the positive experience of Homi Fashion & Jewels, is ready to do its part.
On 13 October 2022, the Board of Directors of Fiera Milano announced that the company has signed non-binding term-sheets ("Agreements") with private shareholders of Fiere di Parma S.p.A.
