The total number of professionals present at the exhibition site during the three simultaneous events exceeded 32,000 visitors, 8% of whom were international, coming from over 50 countries.
February saw the return of fashion industry exhibitions. Milano Unica recorded an absolute record of exhibitors (710) and an overall participation of 6,500 visiting companies (+10% compared to the 2024 figures). MIDO, the international eyewear exhibition, occupied 7 pavilions and featured 1,180 exhibitors (including 930 international ones). The exhibition was attended by over 42,000 people from 168 countries. Meanwhile, the exhibitions relating to the fashion accessory sector, Milano Fashion&Jewels (accessories, jewellery and bijoux), MICAM Milano (footwear), Mipel (leather goods) and TheOneMilano, the international outerwear and haute-à-porter show, recorded 40,449 total professional visitors, 45% which from abroad, from 127 countries.
In addition, Fiera Milano hosted Lineapelle, the international exhibition of leather, accessories, components, fabrics, synthetics and models, which was attended by 24,977 professionals including 18,833 buyers, up 7% on the September 2024 edition, along with 920 exhibitors.
In February, Fiera Milano organised BIT - Borsa Internazionale del Turismo. The exhibition, which for the first time was held at the Fiera Milano site in Rho, was attended by 240 exhibitors from 64 countries.
Finally, MyPlant & Garden and Filo. The first, an international horticultural-floricultural event, now in its ninth edition, set new records, with 740 exhibitors and close to 27,000 attendees. Filo, staged in the Allianz MiCo spaces, is the only international exhibition dedicated to yarn and fibre excellence.

In March, Fiera Milano took a leading role in organising (with its partner Next Group, the event's creator, and Padel Trend, co-organiser) the Racquet Trend Expo, held at the Fiera Milano exhibition spaces in Rho from 7 to 9 March 2025, the first major international event b2c dedicated to all racquet sports: tennis, padel, pickleball, beach tennis and table tennis. Fiera Milano thus strengthened its role in major live events with 130 exhibitors.
In the same month, the 21st edition of Fa' la cosa giusta! the exhibition dedicated to responsible consumption and sustainable lifestyles was held for the first time in the pavilions of Fiera Milano (in Rho). Thanks to the support of Fiera Milano, the exhibition welcomed 52,200 visitors and almost 500 hundred exhibitors.
Congress activities in the first quarter saw Allianz MiCo host 37 events, including the annual EAHAD congress (the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders), a medical-scientific congress, FIF, the Professional Physiotherapy Exhibition and other congress events with associated exhibition areas (among these Esxence-The Art Perfumery Event and Identità Golose). In addition, the BIO-Europe Spring event took place in March, aimed at connecting Europe's leading innovation centres with the global life sciences industry.
In February, Fiera Milano, present in South Africa with its company Fiera Milano Exhibitions Africa, organised Investec Cape Town Art Fair (ICTAF), the most important contemporary art fair in Africa. Now in its twelfth edition, ICTAF hosted 115 exhibitors and more than 500 artists.
In Brazil, in March, the second edition of Fruit Attraction São Paulo took place, which has already established itself as a meeting point and commercial platform for the fruit and vegetable industry. Some 400 Brazilian and international trademarks were present.
As for other activities in China, no exhibitions were scheduled at this time of year.
In January, Fiera Milano and Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026 have signed a partnership agreement for the start of a strategic collaboration that defines Fiera Milano's entry into the team of partners of Milano Cortina 2026. The spaces of Fiera Milano will host some of the most important races of the winter exhibition and more: In the two specially remodelled pavilions inside the exhibition site in Rho, Speed Skating competitions and some Ice Hockey tournament matches will be held. The Allianz MiCo congress centre will instead welcome all Italian and international media for the entire duration of the Olympic event. The partnership will significantly help promote the Italian image as a hub of innovation and dynamism, as well as strengthen the link between tradition and modernity that characterises the project and the soul of Milano Cortina 2026. By becoming a partner of Milano Cortina 2026, Fiera Milano strengthens its identity and confirms its ability to be, to all intents and purposes, an international reality capable of hosting and realising not only exhibitions but also sporting, cultural and musical events.

The Group's business has seasonal elements due to exhibitions that are held on a biennial basis. Due to the seasonal nature of the business, revenues and earnings in individual quarters may vary even significantly from one quarter to the next.
Looking in detail at the figures for Q1 2025, the main trends are as follows:
The change in revenue is mainly due to the different exhibition schedule caused by the absence of the biennial Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, which is held in even years. This effect was partially offset by both the good overall performance of annual exhibitions and conference activities and the increased penetration of the services provided.
The changes in terms of exhibition space at exhibitions are detailed below:

On 15 April 2025 Fiera Milano SpA signed a binding agreement to acquire 51% of the share capital of Expotrans SpA, Italy's leading company in logistics services for trade fairs, congresses and international events. The closing took place on 29 April 2025. The transaction is part of the strategy outlined in the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, which envisages an expansion of the Group along the value chain and the strengthening of Fiera Milano's position as a provider of integrated services for exhibitors and event organisers. In particular, the acquisition of Expotrans SpA aims to internalise the management of exhibition logistics, optimising goods handling flows within the Rho exhibition site and expanding the range of national and international shipping services to exhibitors and organisers. The transaction involves acquiring 51% of the capital of Expotrans SpA, with management and coordination to be exercised by Fiera Milano SpA, enabling the full consolidation of the investment. The acquisition was valued at Euro 6.3 million, paid at closing with a price adjustment primarily based on the net financial position. The entire consideration was financed from available cash resources. The agreement provided for a put/call option on the remaining 49% of the shares, exercisable upon approval of the 2028 financial statements, with a maximum value of Euro 13.7 million for the remaining shares, in addition to the net financial position, bringing the transaction to a maximum total value of Euro 20 million. This structure was aimed at guaranteeing managerial stability and the transfer of know-how, ensuring the commitment of the current management and solid management continuity.
On 23 April 2025, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Controlling Entity was held, which approved the financial statements as at 31 December 2024 and resolved: to distribute a gross ordinary dividend of Euro 0.20 for each eligible ordinary share, drawing from the profit for the year 2024 amounting to Euro 13,359,829.69 and from retained earnings from previous years totalling Euro 866,056.91, while carrying forward the remaining profit after the aforementioned distribution. The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolved in favour of the contents of Section One and Section Two of the Remuneration Report, concerning the Company's policy on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, Key Executives, and members of the Company's Board of Statutory Auditors. The Shareholders' Meeting also approved the authorisation to purchase and dispose of own shares under articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code.
2025 is set to be a year of further development for Fiera Milano, supported by a particularly busy exhibition calendar and a favourable seasonality effect, typical of odd-numbered years, thanks to the presence of the main biennial exhibitions organised by the Group, such as Host, Sicurezza, Made and the return of the Innovation Alliance with the multi-year exhibition Ipack Ima. Additionally, the events portfolio is being expanded with new exhibitions, including Net Zero and Host Arabia (Saudi Arabia), the return of significant international travelling exhibitions to Milan, such as Gastech, which was hosted in 2022, and the introduction of Artigiano in Fiera - Anteprima d'Estate among the hosted exhibitions.
The conference sector will build on the significant results achieved in 2024 by leveraging, among other things, the contracts for hosting the Olympic media and broadcasting centre signed with the Milan Cortina Foundation. At the same time, the development of services and the new entertainment business line will continue; the latter, in particular, will benefit from a more extensive outdoor events season scheduled from May to September, reaffirming the Group's commitment to expanding and diversifying its offerings.
Further enhancing these prospects is the recent acquisition of 51% of Expotrans S.p.A., a leading company in logistics for exhibitions, congresses and events. The transaction, which is aligned with the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan guidelines, enables the internalisation of logistics management,

optimises goods handling flows within the Rho exhibition site and expands the services offered to exhibitors and organisers, reinforcing Fiera Milano's position as a provider of integrated solutions. In light of this – and despite a still uncertain macroeconomic environment – the Group confidently confirms the guidance already communicated for the financial year 2025, which envisages revenues between Euro 320 and 340 million, EBITDA between Euro 110 and 120 million, and an estimated net cash position between Euro 100 and 110 million.
These forecasts, fully aligned with the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan, do not include the potential upside associated with opportunities linked to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, particularly regarding the Group's possible involvement in providing services to support Olympic events, such as staging, logistics, hospitality and the management of exhibition and conference spaces, which could further enhance performance in the medium term.
The Consolidated Interim Management Report of the Fiera Milano Group has been prepared in compliance with Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and with the Listing Rules issued by Consob regulation no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 and subsequent amendments and integrations.
