SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE

Net Zero Milan, the new exhibition dedicated to the decarbonisation of industrial processes

Fiera Milano is taking a decisive step towards integrating sustainability into its business model by launching, on 13 June 2024, NetZero Milan, an expo-summit dedicated to decarbonisation in the industrial sector. It will be held from 14 to 16 May 2025 at Allianz MiCo - Milano Convention Center and will provide an opportunity to bring together C-level, corporate managers and international stakeholders to discuss and promote innovative solutions for a zero-emission economy.

NetZero Milan aims to be a cross-cutting platform involving all technologies that can contribute to the objective: from utility-scale and industrial solar to hydroelectric and wind power, from batteries to green hydrogen, from emerging energy technologies to new fuels and solutions for removing and offsetting CO2 emissions. It will also offer electrification, digitisation and decarbonisation solutions designed for industries with a greater environmental impact and will also address green policy and financing issues. A strategic move that strengthens Fiera Milano's portfolio and boosts growth, aligning perfectly with the execution of the Integrated Sustainability Plan 2024-2027.

Italy's largest roof-mounted photovoltaic system installed on exhibition site roofs

On 16 May 2024, Fiera Milano unveiled one of the largest and most powerful rooftop photovoltaic system in Italy and among the top 10 in the world, located on the roofs of the exhibition site in Rho. The infrastructure, built thanks to the collaboration between Fondazione Fiera Milano and A2A through the creation of the Fair-Renew joint venture, consists of approximately 50,000 photovoltaic panels distributed over 330,000 square metres of pavilion roofing, equal to the surface area of 45 football pitches. An example of national excellence in the field of renewable

energy, which has an expected annual production of 21.6 GWh and a total installed capacity of 18 MWp that will make it possible to cover part of the needs of the exhibition site in Rho, while the remainder of the green energy generated will be fed into the grid. The project is a key pillar of Fiera Milano's Integrated Sustainability Plan 2024-2027, which aims to increase the use of renewable energy from 38% in 2023 to 70% in 2027 and which sees sustainability as a crucial element in attracting large touring exhibitions and driving business growth.

Achievement of ISO 14001 environmental certification

Fiera Milano has obtained ISO 14001 - Environmental Management System certification, an acknowledgement that attests to the company's ability to efficiently identify and manage the environmental impacts of its activities, leading to a more rational use of resources, a reduction in waste and optimisation of processes. In line with the objectives of the Integrated Sustainability Plan 2024-2027 and the Group's commitment to achieve full decarbonisation of events by 2050, obtaining ISO 14001 certification confirms the Group's strong commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its events and contributing to the promotion of sustainable practices.

Fiera Milano tops the ESG Identity Index in the medium-sized listed company category

Fiera Milano takes first place in the ESG Identity Corporate Index 2024, in the category of medium-sized Italian listed companies. This sustainability index, developed by ET.Group and presented on 19 June at the ESG Business Conference, rewards the ability of companies to integrate sustainability into their business models. Fiera Milano recorded a remarkable +27% improvement over last year's evaluation score, achieving the status of ESG Top Performer, and demonstrating a concrete and lasting commitment to the path of transformation towards an increasingly ESG corporate identity.

New ESG rating from the Sustainalytics rating agency

The year 2024 marks a further step forward for Fiera Milano in the management of ESG issues, with the achievement of a rating of 12.3/100 (where 0 is the best rating) by the rating agency Sustainalytics, placing the company in the second best "Low ESG Risk" rating class, a position achieved by only 5% of the 16,000 companies rated worldwide. The 2024 rating represents a significant improvement on previous years, with a 27% increase on 2022 (16.7) and a 37% increase on 2021 (19.6), demonstrating the significant progress the company has made in implementing its sustainability practices over the past three years. In Sustainalytics' overall assessment, Fiera Milano stands out as a low ESG risk company, characterised by solid management of sustainability issues and ESG performance above the reference panel average. The company excels in corporate governance, demonstrates effective management of environmental issues, invests significantly in human capital development, and strategically integrates these ESG issues into its business plan.

Achievement of ISO 37001 anti-corruption certification

Fiera Milano has obtained ISO 37001 - Management System for the Prevention of Corruption certification, which attests to the company's commitment to preventing, detecting and managing corruption-related risks in its operations. This milestone represents a fundamental step towards strengthening transparency and integrity, in line with the objectives of the Integrated Sustainability Plan 2024-2027 and the Group's commitment to ensuring compliance with high ethical standards and testifies to Fiera Milano's constant focus on creating a working environment based on principles of fairness and integrity, consolidating the company's role as a reference point for transparent management in line with international standards.

It should be remembered that the Group's activities are typically seasonal with a calendar of recurring trade exhibitions or those held every two years. Moreover, the absence of exhibitions in Italy in the month of August has a significant impact on the results of the quarter. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, revenues and earnings in individual quarters cannot be extrapolated to the entire year and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

Turning to examine in detail the data for the third quarter of 2024 and the cumulative data as at 30 September 2024, the following main trends can be observed:

  • Revenues from sales and services amounted to Euro 40,094 thousand, a decrease of Euro 5,512 thousand compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year (Euro 45,606 thousand). The decrease is mainly due to the different exhibition calendar due to the absence of the multi-annual Plast and the biennial Vitrum. This effect was partially offset by the good performance of the annual fashion industry exhibitions.
  • Revenues from sales and services in the first nine months of 2024 reached Euro 184,476 thousand and increased by Euro 6,657 thousand compared to the figure for the corresponding period of 2023 (Euro 177,819 thousand). The positive change in revenue is mainly related to the good overall performance of the annual exhibitions and the biennial Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and Transpotec & Logitec as well as the good performance of the congress business. The increase was determined both by the larger exhibition areas occupied and by the better penetration of the services provided. The positive change connected with the above performance indicators was also significantly attenuated by the negative impact deriving from the different exhibition calendar and, in particular, the absence of major exhibitions held during the same period of the previous year, namely the multi-year exhibitions ITMA and Plast, and the biennial exhibition Tuttofood powered by Cibus.

The main changes during the quarter, in terms of exhibition space at exhibitions, are detailed below:

  • annual exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (+7,425 sqm): the change is mainly due to the presence of the Salone del Franchising (+5,495 sqm);
  • annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (+5,910 sqm): the change is mainly related to the combined effect of Milano Unica (+8,065 sqm) and The Micam (- 3,005 sqm);
  • congresses with related exhibition space: the change was equal to -2,165 sqm;
  • biennial exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-8,455 sqm): the change is due to the absence of Vitrum;
  • multi-annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-48,990 sqm): the change is due to the absence of Plast;
  • annual exhibitions of the Group abroad (-52,515 square metres): the change is mainly due to the absence of the Chinafloor Domotex Shanghai exhibition (-69,800 sqm), which was held in May this year, and the presence of the Wuhan Motor Show (+35,000 sqm).

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

  • EBITDA for the quarter totalled Euro 7,821 thousand, a decrease of Euro 6,736 thousand compared to the figure for the same quarter of the previous year (Euro 14,557 thousand). The negative change reflects the above-mentioned development of turnover and results accounted for using the equity method, mainly relating to the joint venture, which is jointly controlled with Deutsche Messe AG, and which was affected by the absence of the Chinese Domotex exhibition, which was held in May this year, as opposed to July in 2023. It should be noted that the composition of costs reflects the decrease in energy tariffs, the positive effect of which was offset by higher personnel costs related to new hires.
  • EBITDA for the first nine months amounted to Euro 62,410 thousand, an increase of Euro 6,254 thousand compared to the figure for the corresponding period of the previous year (Euro 56,156 thousand). The change reflected the aforementioned trend in revenues. It should be noted that the composition of costs reflects the decrease in energy costs and personnel costs due to the presence of one-off reorganisation costs in the prior-year period, partially offset by the increase in group headcount.
  • EBIT in the quarter was Euro -4,870 thousand compared to Euro -1,674 thousand in the quarter in 2023. The negative change amounted to Euro 6,544 thousand and reflected the EBITDA trend, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortisation.
  • EBIT in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to Euro 23,845 thousand (Euro 17,828 thousand as at 30 September 2023). The positive change of Euro 6,017 reflects the trend in EBITDA partially offset by higher depreciation and amortisation.
  • Financial management showed a negative balance of Euro 1,951 thousand in the quarter compared to a negative value of Euro 2,270 thousand in the same period of 2023, while in the nine months it showed a negative balance of Euro 5,719 thousand compared to a negative value of Euro 7,323 thousand in the same period of 2023. The positive change in the quarter is due to the decrease in financial expenses on leases, while in the nine months it is the result of treasury management related to the use of liquidity, in addition to the decrease in interest expenses.
  • Income taxes for the quarter amounted to Euro 233 thousand (Euro 1,428 thousand in the third quarter of 2023), while income taxes for the nine months amounted to Euro 2,536 thousand (Euro 3,294 thousand in the first nine months of 2023) and were recognised by applying the estimated average annual tax rate (tax rate method) to the pre-tax profit of the individual consolidated companies.
  • The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter under review amounted to Euro 7,054 thousand (Euro 2,024 thousand in the third quarter of 2023).
  • The net profit from continuing operations in the first nine months amounted to Euro 15,590 thousand (Euro 7,211 thousand as at 30 September 2023), while the profit for the period of discontinued operations had a balance of zero (Euro 16,500 thousand as at 30 September 2023).
  • The net loss for the quarter under review amounted to Euro 7,054 thousand compared to a loss of Euro 2,024 thousand as at 30 September 2023. The net loss was Euro 7,015 thousand attributable to shareholders of the controlling entity (loss of Euro 1,980 thousand at 3 September 2023) and a loss of Euro 39 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests (loss of Euro 44 thousand at 3 September 2023).
  • Net profit in the first nine months amounted to Euro 15,590 thousand compared to Euro 23,711 thousand as at 30 September 2023. The net profit was Euro 15,712 thousand attributable to shareholders of the controlling entity (Euro 23,886 thousand at 30 September 2023) and Euro -122 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests (Euro -175 thousand at 30 September 2023).

Revenue from sales and services before the elimination of transactions among the three business segments of the Group were to Euro 41,614 thousand, an increase of Euro 5,301 thousand compared to Euro 46,915 thousand in the third quarter of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, revenue from sales and services, before the elimination of transactions among the three business segments of the Group amounted to Euro 191,870 thousand compared to Euro 184,488 thousand in the corresponding period of 2023.

  • Revenues from the Italian Exhibitions Business in Q3 were Euro 32,242 thousand, a decrease of approximately Euro 5,261 thousand compared to the figure for the same period of the previous year (Euro 37,503 thousand). The decrease is mainly due to the different exhibition calendar due to the absence of the multi-annual Plast and the biennial Vitrum. This effect was partially offset by the good performance of the annual fashion industry exhibitions. In the first nine months of 2024, revenues from sales and services reached Euro 151,648 thousand and increased by Euro 3,976 thousand compared to the figure for the corresponding period of 2023 (Euro 147,672 thousand). The positive change in revenues is mainly related to the good overall performance of the annual exhibitions as well as the biennial Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and Transpotec & Logitec. The increase was determined both by the larger exhibition areas occupied and by the better penetration of the services provided. The positive change connected with the above performance indicators was also significantly attenuated by the negative impact deriving from the different exhibition calendar and, in particular, the absence of major exhibitions held during the same period of the previous year, namely the multi-year exhibitions ITMA and Plast, and the biennial exhibition Tuttofood powered by Cibus.
  • Revenues from Foreign Exhibitions Business amounted to Euro -59 thousand in the third quarter, a decrease of Euro 117 thousand compared to the figure for the same period of the previous year (Euro 58 thousand), while in the nine months they amounted to Euro 4,285 thousand compared to Euro 3,050 thousand in the same period of 2023. In the nine months, the increase of Euro 1,235 thousand was due to the positive performance of the Exposec and Fruit Attraction São Paulo exhibitions in Brazil as well as the ICTAF 2024 contemporary art exhibition organised by the South African subsidiary.
  • Revenues from Congresses amounted to Euro 9,431 thousand for the quarter, compared to Euro 9,354 thousand for the same period in 2023, while for the nine months they amounted to 35,937 compared to 33,766 for the same period in 2023. Revenues for the quarter were broadly in line with those of the third quarter of 2023. The positive change in the nine months of Euro 2,171 thousand is mainly attributable to the increase in revenue for events already present in the previous period, including the Salone del Risparmio, Bit, Salesforce and AWS Summit, as well as the presence of more non-recurring events such as: EASL The Home oh Epatology, SIRM – Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica e Interventistica, ESPGHAN – European Society for Paediatric Gastroenter, Hepatology and Nutrition, ECNP – European College of Neuropsychopharmacology and the Zurich Convention. This effect was partially offset by the absence of the EULAR – European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology and EAU – European Association of Urology congresses.

EBITDA was Euro 7,821 thousand, a decrease of Euro 6,736 thousand compared to the figure for the third quarter of 2023 (Euro 14,557 thousand). In the first nine months of 2024, EBITDA amounted to Euro 62,410 thousand compared to Euro 56,156 thousand in the corresponding period of 2023.

  • Italian Exhibitions Business: recorded an EBITDA in the quarter of Euro 4,953 thousand compared to Euro 10,207 thousand in the same period of the previous financial year. EBITDA decreased by Euro 5,254 thousand. The negative change mainly reflects the aforementioned revenue trend. It should be noted that the composition of costs reflects the decrease in energy tariffs, the positive effect of which was offset by higher personnel costs related to new hires.

In the first nine months of 2024, EBITDA reached Euro 47,867 thousand and the increase in the nine months of Euro 4,384 thousand, compared to Euro 43,483 thousand in 2023, is mainly related to the aforementioned revenue trend. It should be noted that the

composition of costs reflects the decrease in energy costs and personnel costs due to the presence of one-off reorganisation costs in the prior-year period, partially offset by the increase in group headcount.

  • Foreign Exhibitions Business: recorded an EBITDA of Euro -41 thousand in the quarter compared to Euro 1,811 thousand in the same period of the previous financial year. The change of Euro -1,852 thousand was mainly related to the result of the joint venture held under joint control with the partner Deutsche MESSE AG in relation to the absence in the period under review of the Chinese exhibition Domotex, which in the year under review was held in May while in 2023 it was held in July, as well as to the trend in revenues. The positive change in the nine months of Euro 424 thousand mainly reflected the aforementioned revenue trend.
  • Congresses: EBITDA was Euro 2,909 thousand in the quarter, compared to Euro 2,539 thousand in the same quarter of 2023. EBITDA was mainly attributable to the abovementioned revenue trend. In the first nine months of 2024, the Congress segment achieved an EBITDA of Euro 11,947 thousand compared to Euro 10,501 thousand realised in the same period of the previous year. The increase of Euro 1,446 thousand is mainly attributable to the aforementioned revenue trend.

The EBIT of the four operating segments amounted to Euro -4,870 thousand in Q3 2024 compared to Euro 1,674 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The EBIT of the four operating segments amounted to Euro 23,845 thousand in the first nine months of 2024 compared to Euro 17,828 thousand in the same period of the previous year. The change in the quarter and nine months reflects the trend in EBITDA. This effect on the nine months was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortisation.

With regard to the breakdown by geographic area, in the third quarter the contribution of foreign activities amounted to Euro -59 thousand in terms of revenue, a decrease of Euro 112 thousand compared to the same period of the previous year (Euro 53 thousand). EBITDA amounted to Euro -41 thousand, a decrease of Euro 1,848 thousand compared to the same period of the previous year of Euro 1,807 thousand. EBIT was Euro -64 thousand compared to Euro 1,780 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

With regard to the breakdown by geographic area, in the first nine months the contribution of foreign activities amounted to Euro 4,285 thousand in terms of revenue, an increase of Euro 1,240 thousand compared to the same period of the previous year (Euro 3,045 thousand). EBITDA amounted to Euro 2,608 thousand, an increase of Euro 429 thousand compared to Euro 2,179 thousand for the same period of the previous year. EBIT amounted to Euro 2,534 thousand and increased by Euro 434 thousand compared to Euro 2,100 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

In the quarter, in the exhibition and congress centres of fieramilano and Allianz MiCo, 8 exhibitions and 11 events for congresses with adjoining exhibition space were held. Exhibitions occupied a total of 172,260 net square metres of exhibition space compared to 218,535 square metres in the same period of the previous year.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

There were no significant events after the end of the quarter.

Business outlook

During the first nine months of the year, the exhibitions organised and hosted achieved very positive results, with significant improvements compared to previous editions. Congress results exceeded expectations, services showed solid growth and international activities performed strongly, with exhibitions in Brazil exceeding expectations. In addition, the progressive reduction of energy costs has fostered more stable conditions for consolidating growth.

With regard to the outlook for the fourth quarter, based on the good visibility achieved at the moment, the Group expects results to be above expectations, thanks to the contribution of major events such as CPHI and EICMA and the performance of the congress business (in particular IAC and ENLIT), which is expected to post double-digit revenue growth compared to the previous year.

In view of the results of the first nine months of the year and the expectations for the last quarter, and despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment, the Group believes it can further improve its estimates for the current year – already revised upwards in the first half of the year – by providing a forecast to 31 December 2024:

  • Revenues in the range of Euro 255-265 million (compared to the previous range of Euro 250-255 million);
  • EBITDA in the Euro 75-80 million range (compared to the previous range of Euro 70-75 million);
  • Net Cash in the range of Euro 65-70 million compared to the previous initial estimates of Euro 60-65 million.
