Milan, July 27 2015 - The Board of Directors of COFIDE-Gruppo De Benedetti S.p.A., which met today in Milan under the chairmanship of Rodolfo De Benedetti, has approved the Interim Financial Report of the Group as of June 30 2015.

COFIDE is the controlling shareholder of CIR-Compagnie Industriali Riunite S.p.A., the company at the head of an industrial group active mainly in the sectors of media, auto components, healthcare. The COFIDE group also has investments in Jargonnant, the private equity fund specializing in real estate assets in Germany and Eastern Europe.

Consolidated results and results of the Parent Company

The revenues for the first half of 2015 of the COFIDE group came in at € 1,290.7 million and were up by 7.3% from € 1,203.2 million in the same period of 2014.

EBITDA came to € 119.7 million (9.3% of revenues) and was up by 15.1% compared to € 104 million (8.6% of revenues) in the first half of 2014. EBIT was € 68.4 million (5.3% of revenues), up by 21.7% from € 56.2 million (4.7% of revenues) in 2014. The consolidated margins of COFIDE benefited from the higher profitability of the CIR group.

In the first half of the year the COFIDE group reported net income of € 20.3 million versus € 0.6 million in the same period of 2014. This result was due mainly to the higher contribution of its subsidiary CIR (€ 18.6 million in the first half, up from € 2.6 million in 2014) but also partly to the return to profit of the parent company COFIDE S.p.A. (€ 1.7 million compared to a loss of € 2 million in 2014) thanks to the improvement in financial management.

In the first half of 2015 the net result of the CIR group was a positive € 36.4 million, up from € 5.3 million in the first half of 2014.

The net debt of the parent company COFIDE S.p.A. stood at € 25.1 million at June 30 2015 (€ 32.8 million at December 31 2014).

The consolidated net financial debt of the COFIDE group amounted to € 234.6 million at June 30 2015 compared to € 145.6 million at December 31 2014; the change was due to the increase in the net financial debt of CIR.

Total consolidated equity stood at € 1,598.8 million at June 30 2015, versus € 1,558.5 million at December 31 2014. The consolidated equity of the group rose from € 528.4 million at December 31 2014 to € 560.4 million euro at June 30 2015. The equity of the parent company COFIDE S.p.A. came to € 560.8 million at June 30 2015 (€ 559.1 million at December 31 2014).

As far as the interest in the fund Jargonnant is concerned, the value of the investment at June 30 2015 was € 13.1 million.

Outlook for the whole year 2015

The performance of the COFIDE group in the second half of the year will be affected by the evolution of the Italian economic environment, the impact of which is significant particularly for the media sector, and by the performance of the main world car markets for the automotive components sector.

For the whole year, the group should obtain a positive net result after the loss in 2014, unless there are any events of an extraordinary nature that cannot be foreseen at present.

The executive responsible for the preparation of the company's financial statements, Giuseppe Gianoglio, hereby declares, in compliance with the terms of paragraph 2 Article 154 bis of the Finance Consolidation Act (TUF), that the figures contained in this press release correspond to the results documented in the company's accounts and general ledger.
