This report, submitted with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Group (hereinafter also the "Airport Group" or the "Airport" or "AdB") for the quarter ended 31 March 2016, in presenting the Group's performance, indirectly provides an analysis of the performance of the Parent Company, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., agent of the total management of Bologna Airport according to Total Management Concession no. 98 of 12 July 2004 et seq., approved with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and Ministry of Economy and Finance Decree dated 15 March 2006, for a forty-year period starting on 28 December 2004.
The following table shows the structure of the Group at 31 March 2016 and a brief description of the type of activities carried out by the subsidiaries and associates:

The values in the tables of this Report are expressed in thousands of Euro and in the comments are expressed in millions of Euro, unless otherwise indicated. It also states that, unless otherwise indicated, the source of data is the result of Company reporting.
The activities performed by airport operators can be divided into aviation and non-aviation. The first category consists mainly of management, maintenance and development of airports, including the security controls and supervision, in addition to the provision of aeronautic passenger services, aircraft and airport operators and users, as well as marketing activities for the development of passenger and cargo traffic. The second consists mainly of potential commercial and real estate development activities for airports.
Consistent with the nature of the activities performed, the Group manages the airport through the following Strategic Business Units (SBUs):
The main activities performed within the Aviation SBUs concern the management and development of the airport infrastructure and in particular consist of:
The activities are remunerated by the airline companies, airport operators and passengers through the payment of airport charges, which can be divided into:
Additional sources of revenue of the Aviation SBUs are mainly:

The main activities performed in the Non-Aviation SBUs concern parking management, retail subconcessions, advertising, passenger services and real estate management areas.
The direct management of paid parking at Bologna Airport consists of approximately 5,100 available parking spaces, mainly concentrated in five large parking areas of which the first four are next to the terminal and the fifth located about 1.5 km from the terminal. The increased appeal recorded by the airport in recent years has persuaded private entities to enter the market near the airport, creating competing parking areas connected with the terminal through the use of shuttle.
Retail activities at Bologna Airport are characterised by the presence of brands that are internationally recognised and associated with the local area. The mall comprises approximately 5,800 square metres and 43 stores. The recent upgrading of the airport has increased the surface area dedicated to retail and consequently supply. The greatest expansion was in duty-free areas, which represent one of the main sources of profitability of the SBU.
Advertising is provided by large backlit signs, both inside and outside the airport, located in high traffic areas where it is easy to grasp the advertising message. On some occasions campaigns are developed customising specific areas or items of furniture at the airport.
Passenger services include a business lounge, directly managed by the Parent Company. The Marconi Business Lounge (MBL) is a reserved and comfortable room, used mostly by business passengers of the major European legacy airlines. In addition, through the "You First" service, "top flyer" passengers can benefit from exclusive services both when departing and when arriving, such as assistance for check-in and baggage delivery, porter service and assistance and priority boarding at the gate.
Among other services offered to passengers is also car rental. The offer at Bologna Airport consists of 10 companies representing a total of 16 specialised brands, which guarantee the presence of about 488 vehicles available at the airport.

Real estate is characterised by two macro-areas: the first relates to revenues from the sub-licensing of spaces for commercial activities closely linked to aeronautical operations, first and foremost those of express couriers, and, secondly, those related to the sub-licensing revenues from areas and spaces for handling, the rates of which are regulated.
The overall availability of retail space in the sub-concession is over 90,000 square metres, of which 70,000 square metres are for offices, warehouses, local technical services, hangars and approximately 20,000 square metres are uncovered and dedicated to the accommodation of the operational vehicles and handling in the loading/unloading areas and areas for the vehicles used for aircraft refuelling.
At the end of 2015, the weakness of the global economy and international trade intensified with significant differences among various areas: in the US, expansion continued with some uncertainty; on the other hand, the outlook remains fragile in emerging economies and represents the key risk element for growth and for global financial markets.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, in major advanced economies not in the Eurozone, economic activity grew by 1.4% in the US and 2.4% in the UK and declined by 1.1% in Japan. However, the economic situation in the major emerging countries remained weak. The recession intensified in Brazil and continued in Russia, although there were certain signs of softening. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Chinese GDP dropped by 6.8% compared with 2014. Of the main emerging countries, only India reported continuing steady growth in GDP.
In April, the IMF revised its world growth projections downward. Specifically, in 2016 the global economy is expected to grow by 3.2% and by 3.5% in 2017.
In the first quarter of 2016, volatility in oil prices reflected the uncertainty over the outlook for the demand and supply policies of the producing countries. In February, prices dropped to 13-year lows (USD 28/barrel for WTI). Subsequently, signs of a decline in production helped to shore up oil prices, taking them to around USD 40/barrel at the beginning of April. However, growth is expected to be very limited in 2016, due to high supply and demand that has been held back by the slowdown in the emerging economies.
Growth continues in the Eurozone, but risks associated with changes in foreign demand and uncertainty in the geopolitical situation have intensified. Inflation stood at close to zero, due to the downward trend in oil prices and high levels of unused production and employment capacity.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, GDP in the Eurozone grew at the same pace as in the third quarter (+0.3% compared with the previous period) due to the positive impact of internal demand, driven mainly by investment growth, government consumption and an increase in household spending. Foreign trade had a negative impact on GDP growth due to the fact that exports rose less than imports. In the first quarter of 2016, the economy in the Eurozone is expected to rise slightly compared with the previous quarter.
In the last quarter of 2015, the recovery continued in Italy, but at a slower pace due to the consolidation of consumption and rising investments. Further moderate growth is projected for the first quarter of 2016, but slightly higher than in the previous three months. Specifically, GDP in Italy is expected to grow by 1.0% to 1.2%. (Source: Economic Bulletin, Banca d'Italia, April 2016).

In this economic environment, global passenger traffic rose by 7.0% in the first three months of 2016, confirming a positive trend for air transportation. At the same time, cargo traffic dropped by 2.1%, due mainly to a reduction in the volume handled in the US and Asia Pacific area.
European passenger traffic grew by 5.4% (Source: IATA, Air Passenger Market Analysis, March 2016) from January to March 2016, demonstrating sound performance despite the impact of the Brussels terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, cargo traffic growth was modest (+0.6% compared with the first quarter of 2015), reflecting the continuing phase of slow growth on the continent (Air Freight Market Analysis, March 2016).
During the same period, the Italian market recorded passenger traffic growth of 6.6% (Source: Assaeroporti, March 2016). From January to March 2016, Bologna Airport grew by 16.0%.
In 2016, the Group is taking steps to achieve the objectives of the Strategic Plan, which is the foundation of the stock market listing. The plan calls for various measures, which, in view of the major market transformation under way and the specific characteristics of individual business areas, have the following objectives:
Maintaining the current composition of the offer of flights and types of companies operating at the Airport, with a marked balance of the low-cost component and the legacy component.
In this perspective, the Company aims to maintain varied and functional flight offerings to different user segments by increasing the number of carriers operating at the Airport, while continuing to maintain a profit margin, even in the incremental traffic that might be generated. As part of the development of traffic, the Company will work to increase routes, among other things through the introduction of new routes to the East, an increase in the frequency of flights to destinations already flown to, and an increase in the tonnage of aircraft operating at the Airport, following the possible introduction of long-haul destinations and the achievement of load factor levels that could require the use of larger aircraft by the carriers.
Functional to the development of the Group's business is the realisation of the planned investments in the Master Plan and the Program Contract being finalised, with a strategy that provides efficient use of the existing infrastructure capacity and a modular implementation of new investments in order to align the infrastructure capacity with the development of the expected traffic. Furthermore, the Company intends to create new retail space to expand the range of products available to passengers.
Strengthening of the non-aviation business by developing commercial offerings and marketing activities designed to meet the multiple needs expressed by passengers.
As part of its development strategies, the Group launched in 2014 a process of optimisation of the key business processes to create an appropriate structure to address the increasingly challenging competitive dynamics of the business. In this context, the Group has geared itself towards the search for greater functionality and efficiency while also evaluating the potential internalisation of services and cost savings.

The Group is also careful to ensure continuous improvement of services provided to airport users in the business areas in which the Group operates, directly and indirectly, while ensuring an even higher standard of safety, quality and environmental friendliness.
With the aim of improving service quality and customer loyalty, the Group considers important to implement technological systems that make it possible to encourage interaction with passengers and provide the best travel experience in the Airport.
On 14 July 2015, trading in the AdB stock started on the MTA Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. The following is reported below:

In the first quarter of 2016, there was a significant growth in all components of traffic. Specifically, in the first three months of the year there were 1,567,475 passengers including transits and general aviation, an increase of 16.0% compared with the same period in 2015. At the same time, there was an increase in movements (14,989, +9.3%) and tonnage (966,827, +18.8%). Contributing to this very positive performance were the introduction of new destinations, the expansion of existing routes and use of larger aircraft, especially for legacy traffic. The average load factor (75.1%) was substantially unchanged from the first quarter of 2015 (75.0%) since passenger traffic growth was in line with the increase in seats offered. In the first quarter of 2016, cargo traffic was 11,512,870 kg, an increase of 19.3% compared with 2015. This
increase was mainly attributable to the air traffic component, which was up by 27.9%, compared with a decrease in the surface component, which was down by 5.7% compared with the same period in 2015. Contributions to growth in the air component of cargo traffic came from all traffic components, but especially combi traffic, which was up by about 1.3 million kg, largely due to the start-up of Emirates flight operations and the concurrent steady performance of other carriers at the airport.
| January - March 2016 | January - March 2015 | % Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 1,567,475 | 1,351,793 | 16.0% |
| Movements | 14,989 | 13,711 | 9.3% |
| Tonnage | 966,827 | 813,923 | 18.8% |
| Cargo via air | 9,193,966 | 7,190,077 | 27.9% |
| Cargo via surface | 2,318,904 | 2,459,658 | -5.7% |
Data including General Aviation and transits
From an analysis of individual traffic components, growth was attributable to the development of legacy traffic and low-cost traffic as well.
Legacy traffic was up by 10.0% in passenger volume in the first quarter of 2016 compared with 2015, due to the entry of new strategically significant carriers for the airport and the greater frequency of flights to several hubs by major international airlines. Of specific significance was the introduction of the daily Emirates flight to Dubai (non-existent in the first quarter of 2015), the increased frequency of Aeroflot flights to Moscow (four weekly flights added to the daily flight), CSA flights to Prague (from four weekly flights to one daily flight), Pegasus flights to Istanbul SAW (from five to six weekly flights) and Blue Panorama flights to Tirana (from four to five weekly flights).
In addition, significant ongoing investments continue to be made by major low-cost carriers at the airport, as reflected in the continual expansion of Ryanair and Wizzair operations. On the other hand, Easyjet's presence has been scaled back, and in January it suspended flights to Hamburg and Geneva (started in the summer of 2015) and to Paris CDG despite the excellent performance of these routes. These cancellations are the result of the carrier's strategy to concentrate operations at its bases in Venice and Malpensa and at the same time scale back its presence at Bologna and Fiumicino.

However, the negative trend in the charter segment continues, showing no signs of recovery. The wellknown political environment and terrorist attacks significantly reduced leisure traffic to Tunisia and Egypt.

The international potential of Bologna Airport continues to rise, and in the first quarter of 2016, international passengers represented 74.3% of the total (73.0% in 2015). There was also an upswing in domestic traffic, which registered growth of 10.7% compared with 2015. Contributing to this reversal in the trend was Ryanair's introduction of a daily connection to Cagliari.
With regard to the routes operated, Paris CDG relinquished its first place position for numbers of passengers to Madrid. It was followed by Palermo, Catania, Frankfurt, Rome, London STN, Barcelona and London LHR. Dubai is now one of the top ten routes.
| Main routes for passenger traffic | January - March 2016 | January - March 2015 | % change 2016/2015 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Group revenues attributable to the Strategic Aviation Business Unit are represented by the fees paid by users (passengers and carriers) and by airport operators for the use of infrastructure and services provided exclusively by the Group for landing, take-off, lighting and aircraft parking and the processing of passengers and cargo, as well as for the use of centralised infrastructure and assets for exclusive use.
Given the public utility nature of airport services, airport charges are subject to regulation, including those based on EU rules. The previous regulations required that such methods were established for each airport, by programme contracts concluded between individual airport operators and the ENAC. The new legislation and the enforcement measures – including the models approved by the Transport Regulation Authority – require, however, that changes to the system or the level of airport charges are made in agreement between the airport operator and the airport users.
The increased revenues in the first quarter of 2016 compared with 2015 were due to the combined impact of increased traffic and new charges effective 1 January 2016.
On the whole, Group revenues attributable to the Strategic Aviation Business Unit showed an increase of 21.7%. Particularly, for individual items, we note as follows:

Advertising rose due to the interruption in February 2015 of the sub-licensing agreement with the previous operator and the resulting lack of sales of related advertising space until the arrival of the new sub-licensee at the end of April 2015.
Retail rose due to the improved positioning of businesses relative to the main types of passengers. In this regard, the sound performance of the Food & Beverage area and Duty Free business was the result of the higher number of passengers transiting through Bologna Airport.
In the first quarter of 2016, parking and road access revenues were up by 19% compared with the same period of the previous year, more than the increase in passenger traffic, with an increase in the euro per passenger ratio from Euro 1.90 to Euro 1.95.
The favourable performance was mainly due to traffic growth, but also due to the downward effect on supply in the first quarter of 2015 due to work on new roads that was completed in the second half of March.
Contributing to this growth was customer appreciation of services such as:
The 9.3% increase compared with 2015 was mainly due to the entry of a new airline during the last two months of 2015 with a resulting demand for space.

Passenger services mainly consisted of premium services (lounges and ancillary services) and auto rentals, the performance of which is indicated below.
In the first quarter of 2016, there was an increase in MBL accesses and revenues compared with the same period in 2015.
This was the result of the good performance of carriers, agreements with non-aviation partners and the loyalty of private companies owing to ad hoc rates tied to the purchase of access packages.
E-commerce purchases rose on a net basis compared with last year due in part to cross-selling policies implemented with the parking area.
The growth trend seen throughout the previous year continued in the first quarter of 2016 partly due to the increase in arriving passengers, many of whom request this type of service.

(*) "Gross operating profit" is an alternative performance measure used by Group management to monitor and assess operating performance. Gross operating profit is not a measurement defined by the international accounting standards or other accounting standards, and need not take into account the requisites laid down by the IAS or other accounting standards in terms of measurement, assessment and presentation, and therefore it need not be considered an alternative indicator used to assess the Group's operational performance. Since the composition of the gross operating profit is not regulated by the accounting standards in question, the criteria used by the Group in calculating it could be different from those adopted by other companies and, consequently, not comparable to them.

The first three months of 2016 ended with a profit of Euro 1.2 million compared with a loss of Euro 300 thousand in the first quarter of 2015, driven largely by the overall traffic increase of 16%, the tariff adjustment not in place in the first quarter of 2015 and the absence of costs associated with bad weather conditions in February of the previous year.
Revenues rose by 18% overall compared with 2015, and specifically:
revenues from aeronautical services rose by 12.3% due to higher volumes managed and the new tariffs;
revenues from non-aeronautical services were up by 14.1% due to the good performance of all components of this category as explained in the relevant section;
revenues from construction services increased due to higher investments made during the period compared with the previous period;
other operating revenues and proceeds were down by 34.8% due to the absence, in the first quarter of 2016, of compensations for damages in the same period of 2015.
Costs for the period rose by a total of 7%.
These can be broken down as follows:
On the other hand, there was a significant decrease in:
For comments on the personnel costs trends, please see the specific section of this report.
As a result of the above, on the whole, from January to March 2016 there was an increase of about Euro 1.9 million (+80.7%) in gross operating profit compared with the same period in 2015.
Overall, structural costs were down by Euro 0.1 million as a result of lower provisions (-30.3%) for doubtful accounts and for the renewal of airport infrastructure, the impact of which was mitigated by increased amortisation and depreciation (4%).

As a result, there was a significant increase in the operating result (EBIT), which stood at Euro 1.9 million, compared with a loss of Euro 0.09 million in the first quarter of 2015.
The negative balance from financial management (Euro 0.35 million) was substantially in line with the first quarter of 2015 (Euro 0.31 million) but with a different composition involving higher financial expenses due to debt growth during the period, partially offset by lower charges for discounting provisions and increased financial income from higher available cash balances.
There was a sharp rise (+Euro 2 million) in the result before taxes, which totalled Euro 1.6 million, compared with a loss of Euro 0.4 million in the first quarter of 2015.
This increase resulted in a higher tax burden than in the same period of 2015, which was partially offset by the ACE [Aid to economic growth ] tax benefit resulting from the equity increase made during the IPO in July 2015.
As a result of the above, the Group's portion of net profit totalled Euro 1.2 million compared with a loss of Euro 0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015.
In the first quarter of 2016, progress made on investments related to concession rights was more significant than in the same period in 2015, and, as a result, there was a relative impact on economic performance for the period, as can be seen in the following table showing the adjusted revenues, costs and gross operating profit respectively of the revenues, costs and margin for construction services.
However, in view of the overall amount of costs and revenues for/from construction services compared with other items that make up adjusted gross operating profit, this item has not deviated greatly from gross operating profit.

The Group's net financial position at 31 March 2016 is positive for Euro 11.3 million compared with Euro 14.6 million at 31 December 2015 and net financial debt of Euro 16.5 million at 31 March 2015. The change in the latter was mainly due to the cash flow generation of Euro 28 million related to IPO .
The growth in liquidity compared with the first quarter of 2015 was also due to the drawdown of the Euro 23 million loan between April and May 2015, but compared with 31 December 2015, the decrease was mainly due to the payment of the Equity Financial Instrument in Marconi Express for Euro 4 million. Lastly, debt increased as compared with 31 March 2015 as a result of the drawdown of the above loan net of the repayment of maturing loan instalments.
A summarised version of the consolidated cash flow statement below shows the cash flows generated/absorbed by operating, investment and financing activity for the periods under review:

Cash flow generated from operating activities totalled Euro 3.6 million, which was a sharp increase compared with the first quarter of 2015 due mainly to growth in cash flow generated from core incomegenerating operations and the lower absorption of cash by net working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities was a negative figure of Euro 2.7 million resulting from:
net of collections of about Euro 5 million from the maturity of short-term cash investments.
Finally, cash flow generated from financing activities was a negative figure of Euro 2 million due to the repayment of loan instalments and other bank debt that matured during the period.
As a result, the final overall cash change for the quarter was a negative figure of Euro 1.1 million.

The Group's balance sheet structure showed no significant changes in net working capital at 31 March 2016 compared with the end of 2015, but compared with the first quarter of 2015, there was an increase in receivables (mainly trade receivables) with no change in payables, resulting in a decrease in net working capital.
At 31 March 2016, the Group's sound balance sheet was reflected by consolidated shareholders' equity of Euro 162.2 million compared with Euro 161 million at 31 December 2015 and Euro 125.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. The amount for the first quarter of 2016 includes retained earnings from the previous year. The Parent Company's Shareholders' Meeting on 27 April 2016 allocated Euro 6.1 million to shareholders (Euro 0.17 per share).

Considering that this is an interim period, the directors felt that the Group's main operating and balance sheet indices at 31 March 2016 were not significant.
The total amount of investments at 31 March 2016 amounted to Euro 1.5 million, of which Euro 0.77 million was for investments related to the implementation of the Masterplan and thus mainly to infrastructure, and the remainder for investments intended for airport operations.
Below is a description of the progress made on key Masterplan investments:
With regard to other investments for airport operations, a number of measures were taken to improve passenger services (installation of small information placards at security check points, new digital advertising systems and new lavatories).
The total amount of work recorded in the provisions for renewal in the first quarter of 2016 was Euro 0.2 million.

Source: Data from the Company
The 7.1% increase in personnel costs compared with the same period in 2015 was mainly due to the increase in the workforce described above and the application of the penultimate tranche of the new National Collective Agreement (starting in July 2015).
Training in the first quarter of 2016 consisted of specific regulatory training courses in different areas, compulsory training that involved the Prevention and Protection Service and training for the Security area. In addition to these subjects, training was provided on the subject of "Training the trainer" for providing the compulsory PRM (passengers with reduced mobility) course required under the new ENAC Gen02 Circular.
Two years after the start of the plan, employees have used nearly 50% of the amounts available to them. The main selections involved the shopping area and "supplemental pensions."
During the first three months of the year, no new union agreements were signed, but the Parent Company participated in the crisis talks of the metropolitan city encouraging discussions among the parties concerned after the bankruptcy of the supplier of services contracted out by handlers at the airport. The matter ended with staff being transferred to the new service provider.
The subjects covered included: participation in crisis talks of the prefecture held by the Regional Labour Administration concerning the assignment of security area facilitator services to a new company.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Parent Company launched the design of two significant environmental equilibrium projects involving the wooded area to the north of the airport and the bicycle path along Via del Triumvirato. These projects are some of the main measures called for in the Regional Agreement for the Decarbonisation of the Airport signed in 2015 with regional authorities, which will require the AdB to make

investments totalling Euro 6.5 million. These investments will be made over a period of time consistent with the timing for the completion of the capex contained in the Airport Master Plan, i.e., by 2023. The Agreement, which was signed pursuant to LR 20/2000, establishes specific measures for improving the energy efficiency of airport infrastructures and improving the system for public and private accessibility to the airport.
The development strategies of Bologna Airport combine a heavy emphasis on passenger needs with an approach open to new trends in the sector. The Group's goal is to provide passengers with airport facilities and services that will make passenger travel experiences extremely pleasant.
In the first quarter of the year, the Customer Satisfaction Index, which measures the overall satisfaction of passengers, rose sharply to 98.5% with an increase of one percentage point compared with the same period of 2015, when the index reached a level of 97.5%.
On the whole, passenger satisfaction indicators posted excellent results with respect to staff and the usability of facilities and information, shopping and parking services.
During the first two months of the year, there was an increase in waiting times at security checkpoints and passport checkpoints for arriving and departing passengers. Analyses performed made it possible to attribute the phenomenon to a number of cyclical, rather than systemic, causes, for which improvements have been arranged.
Based on data provided by the monitoring system, in the first three months of the year, baggage delivery times improved significantly with a recovery of 2 minutes of waiting time. This result was achieved through the joint efforts of the Group and handling operators for the benefit of the airport system.

On 19 February 2016, Aeroporto G. Marconi di Bologna and ENAC (the National Agency for Civil Aviation) signed the Planning Agreement, which represents a further step toward completing the process, which will be finalised with the decree of the Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of the Economy.
The Planning Agreement defines the realisation of the investment plan and compliance with the quality and environmental protection objectives at Bologna Airport for the 2016-2019 period.
The Planning Agreement provides that AdB will make total investments over the four-year period of approximately Euro 112.4 million, of which Euro 84 million relates to the Masterplan (investments in airport infrastructure) and Euro 28.4 million is for investments in support of commercial areas, operational processes and improving the passenger experience.
In accordance with the existing legislative framework and the tariff models developed by the Airport Regulation Authority ("ART"), during 2015, AdB carried out and successfully completed the tariff regulation process for the 2016-2019 period, which took place in close coordination with and under the supervision of the same Authority.
New charges took effect on 1 January 2016.
The Company, on its corporate website, updated its traffic development policy related to the incentive plan scheduled for the first half of 2016. The traffic development policy is accessible to all interested carriers and the finalisation of any agreements between AdB and carriers meeting the requirements and interested in developing traffic according to the different models and targets governed in the policy is communicated according to the methods set forth in the aforementioned ministerial provisions.
Since there were no major changes compared with what was indicated in the Directors' Report for the 2015 Financial Statements, the latter document should be referred to for detailed information.
With regard to the information required by article 2428, para.2, sub-para. 6-bis, note that the Group does not hold significant financial instruments nor is it exposed to substantial financial risk, meaning the risk of the change in value of financial instruments.
As far as exchange rate risk is concerned, the Group is not subject to it in that it does not have exchanges in foreign currency.
Liquidity risk, taking into account the significant commitments for infrastructure development, could lead to difficulties in obtaining financing in a timely and cost-effective manner. In order to deal with the needs resulting from the progress of the investment plan, the Group implemented all measures in order to equip itself with the medium-term financial means necessary for development; in particular, the recent public offering with the increase in Share Capital increased the Group's cash availability and the soundness of its balance sheet. Lastly, cash flows, the need for financing and the Group's liquidity are constantly monitored in order to guarantee effective and efficient resource management.
As far as interest rate risk is concerned, taking into account existing financing, the Group tried to minimise the risk by drawing up fixed-rate and variable-rate loans.

Lastly, as far as credit risk is concerned, the persistent global economic recession has had a strong negative impact on the airline industry with a subsequent increase in credit risk. The Group's credit risk presents a moderate degree of concentration in that 44% of credits is owed by the first ten clients. This risk was dealt with by implementing specific procedures and instruments for monitoring and managing accounts receivable as well as through an adequate provision for bad debts, according to the principle of prudence, in continuity with the financial statements of previous periods.
The commercial policies implemented by the Group aim to limit exposure in the following manner:
The Group's business is related to a significant extent to its relationship with some of the major carriers operating at the airport, and to which the Group provides services, including, in particular, Ryanair. Because of Ryanair's high impact on the Airport's total passenger volume, the Group is exposed to the risk of the contraction or elimination of the carrier's operations at the airport. In the year ended 31 December 2015, the impact on passenger traffic volumes recorded by Airport from Ryanair was 43%. Although Ryanair has concluded a five-year agreement with the Group expiring in October 2018 by which, in the face of certain incentives, it committed to maintaining specific traffic volumes at the airport, pursuing certain growth targets in traffic and not establishing new locations within a certain predetermined distance from the Airport and, although Bologna Airport is, in the opinion of the Company, of a strategic relevance to this vector, one cannot rule out that Ryanair could decide to vary the routes operated, significantly reducing its presence or ceasing flights from the airport or that, upon expiry, the aforementioned agreement will not be renewed in whole or in part, or will be made subject to conditions that are less favourable for the Group. Any decrease or cessation of flights by the aforesaid carrier or the termination or modification of flights for certain destinations marked by high passenger traffic or revenue shortfalls resulting from new agreements could have a negative impact, also significant, on the Group's economic and financial position. In light of the interest in Bologna Airport shown by low-cost carriers, and the evolution of the traffic on the airport in general, the Company believes that the Group could reasonably cope with the interruption or limitation of flights by Ryanair by virtue of the possible redistribution of passenger traffic among the various airlines present at the Airport, and the airport's ability to attract new carriers. It cannot, however, be excluded that, if there is a significant time lag between the time the flights are interrupted and that of their partial or total replacement by other carriers, or if the rotation proves more difficult than expected or is not in whole or in part feasible, such an interruption or reduction in flights could have a negative, also significant, impact on the Group's financials.
The Parent Company is exposed to the risk of the reduction of margins on revenues of the Business Aviation Unit in the event of increase in traffic volume by airlines that benefit from incentives. The Company, in compliance with its incentive policy aimed at traffic and route development at the Airport, grants incentives to both legacy carriers and low-cost airlines related to the volume of passenger traffic and new routes. This policy stipulates that the incentives may not in any case exceed a measure such that there is no longer a positive revenue margin for the Group with reference to the activity of each airline. Nevertheless, should the passenger traffic and the routes operated by the airlines that enjoy the incentives

increase over time, the positive margin recorded by the Aviation Business Unit could be reduced proportionally, with a significant negative impact on the Group's economic and financial situation.
With regard to this risk, the Company, though facing a national market, particularly for domestic connections, characterised by the growing presence of low-cost flights, is active in developing a mix of traffic so as to maintain a positive profit margin: in this context the recent opening of the route operated by Emirates to Dubai is regarded as particularly significant.
The Parent Company makes investments in the Airport on the basis of the Capex Plan approved by ENAC. AdB might encounter difficulties in setting up investments on the schedule established in the Capex Plan due to unforeseen events or delays in the authorisation and/or realisation of the works, with possible negative effects on the amount of the applicable fees and possible risks of revocation or forfeiture of the Agreement. The Capex Plan was prepared based on the actions planned in the Master Plan according to a modularity whose main driver is the trend in air traffic.
The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Group carries out its main activity as a dealer operating under special or exclusive rights at Bologna Airport and operates, for this main reason, in a sector highly regulated by national, supranational and international standards. Any changes in the current legislative framework (and, in particular, any changes with regard to relations with the State, public bodies and industry authorities, the determination of airport charges and the amount of concession fees, the airport tariff system, assigning slots, environmental protection and noise pollution) could have an impact on the operations and operating results of the Company and its Group.
Due to the cyclic nature of the sector in which the Group operates, generally operating profits and results are expected to be higher in the third quarter of the year, rather than in the first and last months. The highest sales are concentrated, in fact, in the period from June-September, the peak of the summer holidays, in which the highest level of use is registered. Added to this is a strong element of business passengers, due to the industrial fabric of the region and the presence of exhibitions of international appeal, which tempers the seasonal peaks of tourist activity. Therefore, financial and economic data relative to interim periods may not be representative of the Group's economic, capital and financial situation on an annual basis.
The following table provides a summary of guarantees granted by the Group.

After the end of the period from January to March 2016, no events occurred that would justify changes to the economic, capital and financial situation shown in the financial statements, and therefore requiring adjustments and/or amendments to the financial statements.
Please note, however, some significant events that occurred after the closing of the period or that will occur in the next few months.
In April 2016, the Airport reported an 8.9% increase in passenger traffic and 3.2% increase in movements compared with the same month in 2015, confirming the positive trend seen in the final months of 2015 due to the launch of new routes and the expansion of existing routes.
With regard to the launch of new connections:

In order to strengthen the connectivity and the mix-mode commuting of the airport and as well in line with the strategic guidelines that have determined the investment on the project "People Mover" for an amount of 15 million euros, of whom 11 million by subscription of EFI ("equity financial instruments" laid down by the last paragraph of Article 2346 c.c.), on 20 April 2016 the Board of Directors has approved a further support to the realization of the project. In particular, through the availability to postpone some rights connected to the investment in Marconi Express S.p.A. to the previous satisfaction of banks financing the project, and the pledge as security to these financial institutions of the above indicated EFI.
The People Mover expects, when completed, the journey between Bologna's Airport and the Central Rail Station in less than 10 minutes, with positive impacts both for passengers departing from the metropolitan area and all the passengers that use the train to reach Bologna and its airport.
With regard to transactions with subsidiaries, affiliates and related parties during the quarter, see the special section in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 March 2016.
The signs of recovery based on overall macroeconomic performance lead to an optimistic outlook for the coming months, but we are aware of potential risks due to the uncertain international geopolitical situation that could have a negative impact on air traffic performance.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors (Enrico Postacchini)

The accounting standards and criteria used are those used to prepare the financial statements at 31 December 2015, which should be referred to for further details.
This Interim Report on Operations has not been audited.
The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the Parent Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, which have been approved by their respective shareholders' meetings and governing bodies, appropriately adjusted to bring them into compliance with the IFRS. The subsidiaries are wholly consolidated as of their acquisition dates, which is to say, the dates on which the Group acquired control, and they cease to be consolidated on the date on which control is transferred outside the Group.
The following table summarises information on subsidiaries as of 31 March 2016 and 31 December 2015 as to their company names and the portion of the share capital held directly or indirectly by the Group.

The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group, in application of IFRS 8, has identified its operating segments as the business areas that generate revenues and costs, whose results are periodically reviewed at the highest decision-making level in order to assess performance and decisions regarding resource allocation.
The following are the Group's operating segments that have been identified in accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments:
The Group assesses the performance of its operating segments based on revenues per passenger, making a distinction between revenues attributable to the aviation segment and those attributable to the nonaviation segment.
The item "Other" in a residual manner encompasses everything that is not directly attributable to the identified segments.
In managing the Group, financial income and expenses and taxes are not allocated to individual operating segments.
Segment activities are those employed by the segment in carring out its characteristic activity or which may be reasonably allocated to it in function of its characteristic activity. The segment activities presented are measured using the same accounting criteria employed for the preparation of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The segment information pertaining to identified operating segments is prepared in the manner described in more detail below.
Aviation: includes aviation activity, which represents the Airport's core business. This aggregate includes the aircraft landing, take off and parking fees, passenger boarding fees, freight loading and unloading fees, as well as fees for passenger and luggage security checks. In addition, it includes freight handling, General Aviation handling, customs clearance and fuelling. Lastly, this segment encompasses all centralised infrastructure and assets for exclusive use: the centralised infrastructure represents the revenues received in connection with infrastructure the management of which is assigned exclusively to the airport management company, for safety and security reasons, or for reasons of its economic impact. On the other hand assets for exclusive use represent check-in counters, gates and spaces rented to airport operators to carry out their business operations.
Non-Aviation: represents those activities not directly related to the aviation business. The latter are carried out in sub-licensed retail operations, restaurants, car rental activities and car parks management, the Marconi Business Lounge and advertising.
The distribution of revenues and costs between the Aviation SBU and the Non-Aviation SBU follows the guidelines set out by ENAC for the preparation of airport management company analytical and regulatory reporting data in accordance with the provisions of article 11-decies of Law 248/05 and the Minister of Transport Guidance Document of 31 December 2006.
The remaining items not included in reporting mandated by regulations were subsequently allocated according to management criteria.
The following are the main differences:

| TOTAL INTANGIBLE ASSETS | 155,795 | 155,882 | (87) |
The item "Concession rights" rose by about Euro 1.2 million at 31 March 2016 (equal to the fair value of construction services performed during the quarter) mainly due to internal and external road works, the upgrade of the Aeroclub apron and the construction of new toilets for passengers in the terminal. Amortisation of concession rights for the period under review amounted to Euro 1.3 million and was
applied on the basis of the remaining duration of the airport concession related to the first quarter of 2016. The item "Software, licences and similar rights," which consists of software used to manage services, was up by Euro 0.8 million largely for the implementation of shift management software for personnel as well as reporting software aimed at improving passenger services.
"Other intangible assets under construction" include amounts incurred for unfinished projects at 31 March 2016.
The Group performed impairment tests to assess the existence of possible impairment with respect to the amounts recorded under "Concession rights," which were recorded in the year ended 31 December 2015 and in previous years.

Purchases in the first quarter of 2016 included four pre-fabricated boxes for car rental and parking operations, and furnishings and electronic equipment for offices and terminals.
"Tangible assets under construction" include amounts incurred for unfinished projects at 31 March 2016.
The item "Investment property" includes the total value of land owned by the Group for real estate investments; they were initially recognised at acquisition cost and subsequently measured using the cost method.
The aforementioned land is not subject to depreciation, but, as is indicated in IAS 40, an expert valuation is performed annually to support the fair value measurement. The expert valuation performed internally by Group technicians confirms that the carrying value approximates the fair value of the land, due to its nature and its strategic value. No indications of impairment of these assets were found on the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared.

Trade receivables are restored to their face value through doubtful debt provisions determined in each period on the basis of a specific analysis of both items subject to disputes and items that, even though not in dispute, have been outstanding for a significant period.
This measurement requires making estimates of the probability of collecting the receivables in question, including with the support of lawyers assigned to pursue disputes, and taking into account suretyships received from customers.
The amount of the provisions as of 31 March 2016 (Euro 1.6 million) is deemed appropriate for the purpose of adjusting the face value of trade receivables to the estimated realisable value.
Changes in doubtful debt provisions were as follows:

The non-current portion of loans consists of medium- and long-term loans taken out by the Group. In the first quarter of 2016, loan instalments totalling Euro 1.8 million were repaid. At 31 March 2016, total liabilities for loans were Euro 38 million, including the current portion of loans totalling Euro 7.4 million.
Other non-current financial debt was entirely related to the liability recorded to reflect the guarantee provided by the Group in the form of a patronage letter to SEAF S.p.A. The Group repaid this liability according to the five-year payment agreement with quarterly instalments, which was entered into in 2014. In the first quarter of 2016, instalments totalling Euro 0.2 million were repaid, and the total liability reported at 31 March 2016 totalled Euro 2.8 million, including the item "Other current financial debt" totalling Euro 1 million. In light of the greater amount of cash available, the Parent Company assessed whether it was appropriate to prepay this liability, and it repaid the remaining debt of Euro 2.8 million on 20 April 2016.

| TOTAL OTHER CURRENT PAYABLES, ACCRUED EXPENSES AND DEFERRED INCOME | 5,219 | 3,739 | 1,480 |
The first item concerns the municipal surcharge on passenger boarding fees charged to carriers but not yet collected at 31 March 2016. In view of the fact that several carriers contested the effective date of the Euro 2.50 increase for 2016 that was required by the Interministerial Decree of 29 October 2015, the portion of the receivable for the municipal surcharge related to this increase was reclassified in the provisions for other doubtful debts (Note 9). Finally, note that the portion of the payable for the municipal surcharge related to receivables for the surcharge collected from carriers, but not yet paid to credit institutions, is instead classified among current financial liabilities (Note 22).
The increase in accrued expenses and deferred income was due to the invoice issuing process which calls for the advance invoicing of sub-licensing fees and other types of services.
The following table details changes in provisions for renewal of airport infrastructure for the first quarter of 2016.

This item includes the current portion of provisions for renewal of airport infrastructure. The amounts used at 31 March 2016 primarily concern work done for the unscheduled maintenance of the taxiway and the updating of systems following the upgrading of sub-licensed premises, information acceptance systems, special equipment and several lifts in the terminal.
The other provisions for risks and charges at 31 March 2016 only included the contractual liability provisions recognised on the basis of the agreement signed on December 2009 with ENAV and ENAC, which provides for another area to be included in the inventory of assets received under the concession in relation to the obligation consisting of:
1) the demolition of pre-existing assets;
2) the construction of a new building on behalf of the original grantor of the concession.
In view of this obligation the Company quantified the increase in Concession Rights at 31 December 2009 on the basis of the present value of the estimated cost to fulfil its obligations with respect to a liability recognised in accordance with IAS 37.
During the quarter under review, the work to complete the new building was assigned, and it is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.

Savings were due to lower provisions for doubtful accounts and for renewal of airport infrastructure (for comments on these areas see Notes 8 and 15-20 respectively).

The increase in financial incomes in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the same period of 2015 was due to higher interest income earned on higher available cash balances. The increase in financial expenses was due to the increase in interest expenses resulting from higher debt, which was partially offset by the reduction of financial expenses from discounting. On the whole, as a result of the above, during the quarter under review there was an increase in the negative balance of financial operations.

| TOTAL TAXES FOR THE PERIOD | (438) | 94 | (532) |
| Taxes for the period as a % of result before taxes | 27.41% | (23.10%) |
At 31 March 2016, taxes for the period were up, mainly due to the significant increase (Euro 2 million) in the result before taxes. This was a negative figure in 2015, which was offset by the positive impact on taxes from the ACE [economic growth incentive – article 1 of Decree Law 201/2011] tax benefit following the cash contribution made as a part of the listing process in July 2015.
The definition of "Related Parties" is based upon international accounting standard IAS 24, approved by EC Regulation No. 1725/2003.
Intercompany transactions are executed pursuant to routine management and under normal market conditions.
Related party relations mainly pertain to commercial and financial transactions and in adherence to tax consolidation.
None of those relationships is of particular economic or strategic importance for the Group because receivables, payables, revenues and costs with related parties do not have a significant percentage impact on the total amounts in the financial statements.
Shareholder Bologna Chamber of Commerce has been identified as a "Government Related Entity", which consequently results in an exemption from the disclosure required in relation to related parties as defined by IAS 24.

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.
The classification of that company as a Government Related Entity has consequently limited the scope of verifications carried out to identify related parties to solely identifying the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as a Government Related Entity, thereby excluding from the scope all the latter's subsidiaries and/or associates.
The financial statements therefore contain no further information regarding the company's relationship with the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna partner, because there are no significant transactions with that shareholder.
The following tables show the balances for the related party transactions contained in the financial statements balances.

Inter-company transactions are carried out as part of ordinary operations and at normal market conditions. These primarily entail transactions of a commercial nature and participation in the tax consolidation scheme with the two subsidiaries FFM and TAG. In addition, there are also transactions with related parties that are also carried out as a part of ordinary operations and at normal market conditions as shown in the tables above.
In addition to fully consolidated companies, related-party status includes the following entities:
As a result of the resignation of an executive of the Parent Company from the position of member of the board of Marconi Handling S.r.l. in February 2016, Marconi Handling S.r.l. and GH Italia S.r.l. are no longer related parties in the quarter under review.
The tables above show the amounts accrued by the Group in relation to:
1) Marconi Handling S.r.l. at 31 January 2016 related to:
• revenues from aeronautical services from agreements to sub-licence premises, operating areas and check-in counters;
• revenues from non-aeronautical services from agreements covering vehicle maintenance services, de-icing equipment rental, and the PRM service;
• other operating revenues and proceeds for proceeds resulting from the charge-back of condominium fees related to leased operating areas;
• services costs from agreements covering the PRM assistance service, the de-icing service, and night flight assistance services.
2) GH Italia S.r.l. at 31 January 2016 related to a receivable for the remaining instalments of the contractual payment for the sale of the stake in Marconi Handling including the corresponding interest income on the instalment payment plan.
The relationship with Sirio S.p.A. mainly concerns the contracts signed with Tag for general aviation assistance services and for the hangar services provided by the Tag company.
