Revenue decrease of -8.7 million of euros vs Q1 2024 resulting from:
performance effect of +5.5 million euros (meaning a like-for-like growth of +10% vs Q1 2024), driven by a +4% increase in sold area (volumes impact) for both Organized and Hosted exhibitions, a +7% rise in services, alongside strong congress business performance of +27%
unfavorable temporary calendar effect of -14.2 million euros: due to the absence in the quarter of the even-year biennial hosted event Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (86k sqm in 2024, missing in Q1 2025)
