General information

Centrale del Latte d'Italia S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as "CLI") is a company incorporated in Italy in the form of a public limited company operating under Italian law. The Company has its registered office at Via Filadelfia 220 in Turin.

The Company operates in the food sector with a large and structured product portfolio organised into the following business units: Milk Products, Dairy Products and Other Products.

67.74% of the Company's share capital is held directly by Newlat Food S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as "NLF"), while the remaining portion (26.75%) is held by institutional investors and by Centrale del Latte d'Italia (5.51%) following the purchase of own shares on 12 November 2024. As a result of the outcome of the option rights and pre-emption offer, the Company resolved to proceed directly with the reimbursement by purchasing a total of 771,204 CLI shares at the settlement value of Euro 2.966 each, for a total consideration of Euro 2,287,391.06.

This management report shows the financial information of the Company at 31 March 2025 compared to the financial statements at 31 March 2024 and the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024.

Alternative performance indicators

The following financial report presents and comments on some financial indicators and reclassified statements (relating to the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows) not defined by IFRSs.

These amounts, defined below, are used to comment on the Company's business performance in compliance with the provisions of the Consob Communication of 28 July 2006 (DEM 6064293), as subsequently amended and supplemented (Consob Communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015 implementing the ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines).

The alternative performance indicators listed below should be used as an information supplement to IFRS requirements to help users of the financial report to better understand the Company's results, assets and liabilities and cash flows. Note that the method used by the Company may differ from the ones used by other companies.

Financial indicators used to measure the economic performance of the Company:

  • EBITDA: the operating result (OR) before depreciation, amortisation and writedowns of tangible and intangible assets and of financial assets.
  • Cash conversion: the ratio of EBITDA to the difference between EBITDA and total investments.

Net financial debt is given by the algebraic sum of:

  • Cash and cash equivalents
  • Current financial assets
  • Non-current financial liabilities
  • Current financial liabilities

  • Current financial lease liabilities
  • Non-current financial lease liabilities.

Reclassified statement of cash flows

This is a cash flow that represents a measure of the Company's self-financing and is calculated from the cash flow generated by operating activities, adjusted for net interest paid and cash flow absorbed by investments, less income from the realisation of fixed assets. The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.

The Company presents the income statement by destination (otherwise known as "at cost of sales"), which is considered more representative than the so-called presentation by nature of expenditure, which is also reported in the notes to the Annual Financial Report. The form chosen is, in fact, compliant with the internal reporting and business management methods.

Performance as at 31 March 2025

Operations as at 31 March 2025 show a positive pre-tax result of Euro 3,086 thousand and a total net result of Euro 2,225 thousand.

The comparison with the same period of the previous year shows similar results, with EBITDA amounting to Euro 6.8 million or 8.7% of revenue compared to Euro 7.3 million as at 31 March 2024 or 8.9%.

Overall, revenue amounted to approximately Euro 78.05 million, slightly down on the same period of the previous financial year (Euro 81.9 million), due to a combination of declining demand in the milk sector and a decrease in the average selling price.

Given the contraction in demand, the Company will continue to focus more closely on improving purchasing conditions in order to recover both revenue and margin levels compared to the previous quarter.

The interim report closed with a net profit after tax of Euro 2,225 thousand.

Outlook

Considering the short period of time historically covered by the Company's order book and the difficulties and uncertainties of the current global economic situation, it is not easy to develop forecasts for the next year, which in any case seems to be very positive. The company will continue to pay particular attention to cost controls and financial management in order to maximise the generation of free cash flow, to be allocated both to organic growth externally and to the remuneration of Shareholders.

Based on the information available at the date of preparation of this report, the Directors believe they have reasonably excluded impacts attributable to significant negative impacts.

Going concern

With reference to the content of the previous paragraph, even taking into account the complexity of a rapidly evolving market, the Company feels it is fair and reasonable to assume it status as a going concern in view of its ability to generate cash flows from operating activities and fulfil its obligations in the foreseeable future, particularly in the next 12 months, based on the solid financial structure as described below:

  • The considerable level of cash reserves available at 31 March 2025.
  • The extraordinary results achieved as at 31 December 2024.
  • The presence of authorised and unused lines of credit at 31 March from the Company to the majority shareholder Newlat Food SpA.
  • The continual support given by the leading banks to the company and the Newlat Group it belongs to, partly because of its market-leading status.

It should also be noted that the cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2025, the cash pooling with the direct Parent, the credit lines currently available and the cash flows that will be generated by operational management are considered more than sufficient to fulfil obligations and finance the Company's operations.

EVENTS AFTER 31 March 2025

After 31 March 2025 there were no atypical or unusual transactions requiring changes to the interim report on operations.

Explanatory notes

Basis of preparation

The interim report at 31 March 2025 were prepared in accordance with the international accounting principles (IAS/IFRS) adopted by the European Union for interim financial statements (IAS 34). The financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 1, while the notes were prepared in condensed form applying the option provided for in IAS 34 and therefore do not include all the information required for an annual report prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The interim financial statements at 31 March should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

These notes are presented in summary form in order not to duplicate information that has already been published, as required by IAS 34. Specifically, note that the comments refer exclusively to those components of the income statement and balance sheet whose composition or whose variation in amount, nature or unusual character are essential for the understanding of the Company's economic, financial and equity situation.

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the values of revenues, costs and assets and liabilities, and on the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. It should be noted that these estimates may differ from the actual results achieved in the future. The financial statement items that most require greater subjectivity on the part of the directors when producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the financial statements are: goodwill, depreciation and amortisation of non-current assets, deferred taxes, the provision for doubtful receivables, the provision for inventory write-downs, the provisions for risks, the defined benefit plans for employees, payables for the purchase of equity investments contained in the other liabilities and the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as part of the business combinations.

Measurement criteria

The measurement criteria used for the preparation of the financial statements as at 31 March 2025 are the same as those used for the annual financial statements at 31 December 2024, except for the new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2025, which are described below and which it is noted did not have a material impact on the Company's current results, assets and liabilities and cash flows.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2025 and adopted by the Company:

Effective date New accounting
standard/amendment
Date of EU approval (OJEU
publication date)
1 January 2025 Lack of exchangeability
(Amendments to IAS 21)
13 Nov 2024 (EU) 2024/2862

Notes to the report as at 31 March 2025

Criteria and methods

The interim report as at 31 March 2025 includes the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Comprehensive Income Statement, the changes in Shareholders' Equity and the Company's Cash Flow Statement and related Explanatory Notes, prepared on the basis of the relative accounting situation in accordance with IFRS accounting standards.
