This report, submitted with the Financial Statements of the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa Group (hereinafter "Airport Group" or "Airport") for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, in presenting the Group's performance, indirectly provides an analysis of the performance of the Parent Company, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa (hereinafter also AdB or Parent company) agent of the total management of Bologna Airport in accordance with the Total Management Concession no. 98 of 12 July 2004 and subsequent addenda, approved by Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Economy and Finance of 15 March 2006, for a period of forty years starting on 28 December 2004.
The following table shows the structure of the Group at 30 September 2015 and a brief description of the type of activities carried out by the subsidiaries and associates:

The structure of the Group had undergone a significant evolution in recent years, having left the field of passenger and ramp handling following the sale of the investment in the subsidiary Marconi Handling S.r.l. in 2012 and the sale of a 4.13% stake in Sagat S.p.A., management company of Turin airport in January 2014, in order to concentrate financial and managerial resources on activities with higher added value.

The values in the tables in 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 services to passengers, aircraft and airport operators and users and marketing work for the development of passenger and freight traffic. The second consists mainly of potential commercial and real estate development activities for airports.
In keeping with the nature of the activities performed, the Group manages the airport through the following Strategic Business Unit (SBU):
The main activities performed as part of 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 SBU are mainly:
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 9
The main activities performed within the Non Aviation SBUs concern parking management, retail subconcessions, advertising, passenger services and real estate management areas.
The direct management of paid parking at the Bologna Airport consists of 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 placed about 1.5 km from the terminal. The increased appeal recorded by the airport in recent years have persuaded even private entities to enter the market near the airport, which have created competing parking lots connected with the terminal through the use of shuttles.
Retailing at the Bologna airport is characterised by the presence of brands that are internationally recognised and associated with the local area. The mall comprises over 5,600 square meters and 42 stores. The recent upgrading of the airport has increased the surface area dedicated to retail and consequently the offer. The greatest increase was in duty free areas that 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.
The 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 arriving, such as assistance for check-in and baggage delivery, porter service as well as assistance and priority boarding at the gate.
Among other services offered to passengers is also car rental. The offer at the Bologna Airport consists of 10 companies representing a total of 16 specialised brands, which guarantee the presence of about 480 vehicles available at the airport.
Real estate is characterised by two main areas: the first relating to the revenue from the sub-licensing of commercial space activities closely linked to aeronautical operations, first and foremost those of couriers and, secondly, those related to the sub-licensing revenues of 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 meters, of which 70,000 square meters are for offices, warehouses, local technical services, hangars and approximately 20,000 square meters 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 refuelling the aircraft.

In the major advanced economies expansion of economic activity continues, albeit with different intensities. GDP in the US grew more than expected in Q2 of 2015 (+ 3.9% for the year), GDP in the UK continues to expand in line with forecasts, while in Japan the trend of economic activity is still uneven.
In Q2 and in following months the macroeconomic framework of the emerging economies was dominated by the slowdown in China, which contributed to weakening international trade in commodities, with negative effects on the growth of the major exporting countries.
Forecasts of the International Monetary Fund in October point to a widespread growth in GDP of 3.1% in 2015 compared to last year (+ 2.0% in developed countries and 4.0% in emerging countries).
In 2016, global activity should accelerate slightly, although the downside risks associated with an economic slowdown in China have intensified and the impact that may arise from the start of normalization of monetary policy in the United States.
In the Eurozone continuation of the recovery in economic activity in the summer is confirmed, in line with expectations and with the slight effects deriving from the global slowdown. In the second quarter of 2015, GDP grew by 0.4% over the previous quarter. Economic activity was mainly driven by the interchange with other countries, in the presence of an acceleration in exports and a slowdown in imports. Among the major economies, GDP grew in Italy and Germany (respectively + 0.3% and + 0.4%), while it stagnated in France (after the sharp rise in Q1), reflecting the slowdown in the spending of families.
In Italy, economic activity in fact started to grow since the beginning of 2015, at a pace of around 1.5% per annum. The latest economic signals – including the performance of industrial production and the reinforced confidence of households and businesses – indicate the continuation of the growth in Q3 at rates similar to those of the first half of the year. After years of decline in domestic demand, the consolidation of the recovery in private consumption and the gradual resumption of investment in productive capital are contributing to GDP growth. (Source: Bollettino Economico, Banca d'Italia, October 2015).
In this framework, world passenger traffic grew by 6.7% in the first nine months of 2015, confirming a positive trend for air transport. Freight traffic too confirms a positive trend at world level with a volume growth of 2.4% compared to 2014.
In Europe, passenger traffic grew by 5.5% (Source: IATA Passenger Air Market Analysis, September 2015) in January-September 2015 showing strong performance despite the economic uncertainty facing this area. The economic environment has resulted in a negative effect on European freight traffic which only in recent months is showing signs of recovery; in the period from January to September 2015, traffic volumes were equal to those of the same period of 2014.
The Italian market in the same period, recorded a passenger traffic growth of 4.4% (Source: Assaeroporti, September 2015). Bologna Airport showed an increase of 3.3% in January-September 2015.
2015 was the first year of implementation of the Strategic Plan underlying the planned listing on the Stock Exchange which had ended with the start of trading on the Italian Electronic Stock Exchange (MTA) STAR segment on 14 July 2015. The Plan aims to provides several lines of action, taking into account of the
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 11
context of profound changes in the market and the specific characteristics of the individual business areas, including:
Maintaining the current composition of the offer of flights and types of companies operating at the Airport, with a marked balance between 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 through an increase in 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 the 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 spaces to enhance the marketing offer available to the passenger.
Strengthening of the non-aviation business through development of the commercial offer 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 optimization 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 internalization 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 started for the AdB stock on the MTA Star segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. The report below indicates:
As at 30 September 2015 there is an official listing of Euro 5.75 per share, which makes the market capitalization of the AdB Group on that date approximately Euro 207.6 million.

The January-September 2015 period recorded 5,244,248 passengers, including transits and General Aviation, 3.3% more than the same period of 2014. Net of transits, which are in the case of Bologna a residual component and have no impact on aeronautical revenue, passenger traffic in January-September 2015 had increased by 3.6% compared to the same period of 2014.
In parallel with the increase in passenger traffic, there was a decrease in the number of movements (-2.2%) and tonnage (-0.8%). The reduction in tonnage, lower than that of the movements, derives from the use of larger aircraft, particularly in the scheduled traffic. Low cost carriers are marked however by a strong homogeneity in the type of aircraft used and therefore have further saturated their capacity.
Notwithstanding the use of larger aircraft, the average load factor is increasing as a result of the careful management of the fleets of all airlines; this factor leads to greater efficiency throughout the system, including the use of airport infrastructure. The average load factor is increasing and rose from 77.3% during the period of January-September 2014 to 79.3% in the same period of 2015, and growth is broken down into the various traffic components as follows:
| January – September 2015 | January – September 2014 | % Change 2015-2014 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 5,244,248 | 5,077,469 | 3.3% |
| Movements | 48,859 | 49,947 | -2.2% |
| Tonnage | 2,912,266 | 2,936,926 | -0.8% |
| Cargovia air | 22,216,549 | 24,005,541 | -7.5% |
| Cargo via surface | 7,542,663 | 6,970,068 | 8.2% |
Data including General Aviation and transits
By analysing the individual traffic components, growth is due particularly to low cost, which ended the period with an increase of 15.0%, while legacy airlines and charter traffic was down by 7.1% and 24.5% respectively.
The decrease in the legacy component in January-September 2015 is mainly due to the contraction which was recorded in the first six months of the year, due to the downsizing at the airport of the main domestic carriers, in particular Alitalia's route to Catania. However, thanks to the recovery in Q3 2015, legacy airlines traffic overall registered a limited volumes contraction (-0.9%) compared to the same period of 2014.
Net of the reduction of the above operations by Alitalia, legacy traffic will show in Q3 of 2015 an increase compared to the same period of 2014 (+7.9%), showing signs of significant growth for this traffic component.
Within the legacy airline segment there were good performance levels due to the connection to Prague operated by CSA and seasonal flights to Tel Aviv and Leopoli in Ukraine.
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 14
The increase in the low cost component was substantially due to the increased traffic of the main carriers, a continued expansion of operations by Ryanair, the introduction of flights to Katowice and Budapest by Wizzair and flights to Hamburg and Geneva by EasyJet.
However the negative trend of the charter segment continues, showing no signs of recovery. In Egypt, the political situation is not yet good enough to ensure a turnaround, with a consequent reduction in traffic volumes compared to 2014. The same applies to Tunisia: the recent terrorist attacks compromised the flow of tourists with the cancellation of all the operations planned.

With regard to the routes operated, Paris CDG maintains the first position for number of passengers, followed by Frankfurt, Barcelona, Catania and Palermo. Madrid and Barcelona, together with the London airports, confirm the fast growing trend
The main destinations served confirm the strength of the traffic mix at the same time as they are hubs of traditional airlines and point to point destinations of low cost carriers.

Group revenues attributable to the Aviation Strategic 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, the processing of passengers and cargo as well as for the use of centralised infrastructure and assets for exclusive use.
The Airport Fees, in view of the public utility nature of airport services, are subject to regulation, including those based on Community rules. The previous regulations required that such methods were established for each airport, by program contracts concluded between individual airport operators and the ENAC. The new legislation and the enforcement measures – including the models approved by the Transport Regulation Authorities – 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 revenue highlighted on the table results from the traffic dynamics described above and by the trend of rates which for 2015 are represented, following the provisions of the so-called "Unlock Italy" decree for airports with program contracts to be renewed, by the 2014 rates increased solely by inflation of 0.6%.
Overall, the Group's revenues attributable to the Strategic Aviation Business Unit recorded an increase of 3% over the same period of 2014, particularly for the individual items listed below:

| Revenues from construction services | 579 | 275 | 110% |
| Total SBU NON AVIATION Revenues | 24,790 | 23,213 | 7% |
The total revenue of the non-aviation business unit showed an increase of 7% in the period with all major revenue items increasing; below are the trends of the individual areas of this business unit.
The comparison between 2015 and the same period of 2014 shows an increase of 6% mainly attributable to retail and particularly to Food & Beverage due to improved economic terms in new contracts, which started last year, and the improvement in the quality of the offer linked to the traditional products of the Bologna territory. This, in turn, led to an increase in sales and therefore royalties. The Duty Free component also showed an increase due to the greater number of passengers.
Between January and September 2015 revenue from the parking areas showed an increase of 6% from the same period last year.
The positive performance of the car parks is due not only to the growth in traffic, but also the regulation of vehicular circulation with the introduction of parking meters and the barred access resulting in increased use of short-term parking.
In addition, an important contribution to growth comes from the main ancillary services offered, such as automatic payment systems and the ability to book and buy entry tickets directly from the website.
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 17
Compared to 2014 the increase of 2% is due to the activation of new sub-concessions during 2015.
The passenger services consist primarily of premium services (lounge and supplementary services) and car rentals, the trend of which is shown below.
As at 30 September 2015 the increase from the previous year was 5%. We can therefore confirm the good performance of this sector that is growing at a higher rate than traffic, thanks to the resilience of the traffic business and a greater penetration of the service in the low cost segment as well.
The segment revenue from car rentals increased by 13% over the same period of 2014, due to greater use of the service by arriving passengers, which is growing more than that of total passengers in percentage terms.
The increase is related to higher investments over the same period last year.

(*) "Gross operating profit (EBITDA)" means an alternative performance measure used by Group management to monitor and assess operating performance. EBITDA 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 EBITDA 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 nine months of 2015 showed a profit of EUR 5.8 million, down 2% compared to the profit for the same period in 2014. The result was impacted by the non-recurring costs associated with the listing of the
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 19
parent company on the Italian Stock Exchange operated by Borsa Italiana, but offset by an increase in traffic, with an overall positive effect in all areas of the business.
Despite the lack of tariff's increase and low cost carriers becoming more operational on domestic routes, the improving trend for growth and traffic volume is having a positive impact on revenue for both aeronautical and non-aeronautical sections.
Revenue grew 4.6% overall compared to the same period in 2014 and in particular:
aeronautical revenues grew 4.8% as a result of increased volumes and of a settlement of incentives for the partial failure to achieve some traffic targets;
non-aeronautical revenues grew 5.9% due to the good result achieved by all sections of this business unit, as shown in the relevant section of this report.
Costs for the period January–September 2015 grew overall by 2.5% compared to the same period in 2014. This was mostly due to the increase in Personnel Expenses.
Detailed analysis:
For more details in personnel costs, please see the specific section of this report.
As a result of the above, the period January–September of 2015 showed an overall increase in the Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) of approx. EUR 1.6 million (9.3%) compared to the same period in 2014.
Amortisation items showed a slight increase in line with the progress of the new investments, whilst the increase in provisions is primarily for renovation of the airport's infrastructure fund and non-recurring releases of provision for bad debt and liabilities and expenses carried out in the same period in 2014.
The Operating Result (EBIT) amounts to EUR 11.4 million compared to EUR 10.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 (8.7%).
The reduction in the negative balance of financial management is due primarily to lower discounting costs, whereas the non-recurring expenses include costs totalling EUR 2.5 million for IPO in the Italian Stock Exchange, which are not directly deducted from equity.
The effect of the non-recurring expenses involves a reduction in earnings before tax of approx. EUR 1 million; the latter amounts to EUR 8.27 million as opposed to EUR 9.35 million on 30 September 2014 (- 11.5%).
The lower tax burden on 30 September 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is primarily due to:
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 20
As a result of the above, the Group's consolidated after-tax profit on 30 September 2015 is very much in line with the same period in 2014, amounting to EUR 5.7 million compared to EUR 5.8 million on 30 September 2014 (-2%).
In the first nine months of 2015, as in the same period of 2014, progress made on investments related to concession rights has not been significant and, as a result, the relative impact on economic performance is not significant, as can be seen in the following table showing the revenues, costs and adjusted gross operating profit respectively of the revenues, costs and margins for construction services.
In view of the low level of investment and therefore of costs and revenue for construction services, adjusted Gross Operating Profit does not deviate greatly from Gross Operating Profit.

The Group's net financial position as at 30 September 2015 is positive at EUR 12.9 million compared to net financial debt of EUR 17.5 million as at 31 December 2014 and EUR 19 million as at 30 September 2014.
The growth in liquidity is due to a new loan agreement for EUR 23 million between April and June 2015 and the collection of EUR 28 million on 14 July 2015 as a result of the increase in Share Capital net of brokerage costs.
Debt increased due to the aforementioned new loan raised, net of the repayment of the loan instalments due to expire, amounting to EUR 5.6 million.
A summarised version of the consolidated financial statement below shows the cash flows generated/absorbed by operational, investment and financing activity for the periods under review:
| in thousands of Euro | at 30.09.2015 | at 30.09.2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash flow (generated / absorbed) from net operating activities | 5,453 | 11,085 |
| Cash flow (generated / absorbed) from investment activities | (9,340) | 2,439 |
| Cash flow (generated / absorbed) from financing activities | 45,413 | (7,500) |
| Final cash change | 41,526 | 6,024 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 7,021 | 2,764 |
| Final cash change | 41,526 | 6,024 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of the period | 48,547 | 8,788 |
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 22
The final cash variance amounts to EUR 41.5 million as shown in the previous paragraph.
The cash flow generated by operating activities amounted to EUR 5.5 million in the first nine months of 2015, down from the same period in 2014 primarily due to the payment of income tax, which on 30 September 2015 had absorbed a total of EUR 3.9 million, which had been considerably lower (EUR 0.5 million) in 2014 as the Group had held tax credits for the financial year 2013, added to which there was a decrease on the cash flow for economic and earnings management (EUR -0.9 million).
The cash flow from investment activity produced a negative result of EUR 9.3 million resulting from 6.9 million of short-term investments of liquid assets and EUR 3 million of investments, primarily in infrastructure, and net of EUR 0.6 million in the collection of receivables from the sale of shareholdings. In the first nine months of 2014, the cash flow of investment activity was positive at EUR 2.4 million compared to EUR 5.7 million of divestiture of shareholdings and EUR 3.3 million of infrastructure investments.
Lastly, the cash flow generated from financing activity produced a positive result of EUR 45.4 million and refers to gains of EUR 28 million made from the increase in Share Capital and new financing of EUR 23 million net of loan fee repayments expired within the period.

The Group's capital structure shows a reduction of EUR 5.3 million in net working capital as of September 30 September 2015 compared to the end of 2014 due to:
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 24
Lastly, the sound balance sheet of the Group was further improved following the Initial Public Offering of shares of the Parent Company which consisted of the issuance of 6,500,000 ordinary shares with the subsequent EUR 16.2 million increase in share capital and the EUR 13 million increase in Premium Reserve shares, gross of listing costs of EUR 1.5 million deducted from said reserve, including the relative deferred tax. On 30 September 2015, consolidated Net Equity is therefore equal to EUR 159.7 million compared to EUR 126 million on 31 December 2014 against a positive net financial position of EUR 13 million.
The Directors deemed the Group's key performance indices at 30 September 2015 insignificant, considering that they are interim figures.
The total amount of realised investments as of 30 September 2015 is equal to EUR 3 million, of which 0.7 million is for investments related to the execution of the Master plan and therefore mainly in infrastructure and the rest are investments for airport operations. The main measures were addressed to improving areas for passengers in order to optimise operating procedures. In particular, exit corridors from the baggage claim area were completed, the design of an expansion of the non-Schengen arrivals hall was completed and construction was launched which will be concluded by year end. Finally the implementation of a Tracking System for monitoring passenger flows was completed, with a view to improving the "passenger experience".
In addition to the aforementioned investments, in the first nine months of 2015 the Group spent EUR 1.3 million for renovations and cyclical maintenance of airport infrastructure. This item includes the work done for extraordinary maintenance of the take-off and taxiing runway.

The personnel increase of 32 full-time equivalent staff compared to 2014 is mainly due to the hiring of 25 resources following the insourcing of some services (passenger information services, PRM (passengers with reduced mobility) assistance, , trolley collection, rush luggage management, manual tagging of luggage in the BHS area, vehicle washing) launched in the last quarter of 2014 and to the increase in resources for activities that are particularly sensitive to increases in traffic such as PRM and parking lots.

Source: Data from the Company
The increase in labour costs of 10.9% compared to the same period in 2014 is mainly due to the increase in staff following the insourcing of the services indicated above and the need for resources in certain areas that are particularly sensitive to the increase in traffic, in addition to the application of the new National Collective Labour Agreement.
The overall training cost is in line with what was registered in the same period of 2014. In particular, training is concentrated on certain figures in the security sector in the context of the Smart Security project, aimed at continuously improving the overall passenger experience in the check-in stage.
At the beginning of the month of March the elections to renew the RSU [trade unions representative body] were held and the first union meetings were launched regarding issues of particular interest following the application of the new collection labour agreement and in particular regarding working hours for which the collective agreement provides for an increase from 37.5 hours per week to 38.5 hours per week.
On 17 July 2015, following a referendum, the Company and the Labour Unions reached an agreement which foresees partially absorbing the days of reduced hours thereby maintaining the work day unchanged.
During the first half of 2015, the Parent Company signed an Implementing Territorial Agreement with Local Organizations (the Region, the Metropolitan City, the Cities of Bologna and Calderara, TPer [Public Transport Company]) for the Decarbonisation of the Marconi's airport. The Agreement, signed in accordance with Regional Law 20/2000, establishes specific actions to make airport infrastructure more energy efficient and to improve the public and private accessibility system to the airport. Completion of this agreement will result in the Airport Management bearing investment costs for a total amount of EUR 6.5 million which will be made in a span of time necessary for realising investments contained in the airport Master Plan, namely by 2023.
The Company also includes improving the quality of service among its objectives. Indeed, the Group will continue to commit to improving operating procedures, with a view to the quality of service and environmental sustainability. The Bologna Airport is constantly working on both activities of updating, information and benchmarking and the introduction of new instruments and new technologies for serving passengers.

During the course of 2015, the Customer Satisfaction Index, an index that measures the degree of overall passenger satisfaction, has progressively increased, up to nearly 99% in the third quarter of 2015, with a significant increase compared to 2014 (98.4% in the period January-September 2015).
The waiting times for take-off and passenger satisfaction registered excellent results, reporting in general a significant improvement compared to the same period of the previous year: satisfaction with the overall cleanliness and functionality of bathrooms, in particular, significantly improved, reaching the threshold of 95% satisfaction. A slight reduction in luggage delivery times was confirmed, an issue regarding which the management confronted and stimulated the airlines and airport services providers.

The AdB Planning Agreement expired on 31 December 2014 and, in the context of the temporary regime, work is in hand for drawing up a new one which, based on applicable regulations in this regard, will essentially include the action, quality and environment plan.
The Model prepared by the Airport Regulation Authority ("ART") and applicable to AdB states that, upon conclusion of the consultation, the agent of the total management shall publish on its website and send to the ART the definitive proposal on the agreed Levels of Airport Fees, highlighting moreover the positions expressed by the participants in the consultation. If an agreement is reached with the airport users or if there is no opposition to the proposal, the new fee system shall come into force on the date indicated for the launch of the consultation or in any case not before 60 days from the date the proposal is published on the manager's website, once the obligations for notifying the fees to be applied at the moment of sale of tickets to the passengers to the IATA network are fulfilled. It is furthermore required that the ART formalises and publishes, within 40 days from notification of the proposal approved in the consultation, the outcome of the checks performed on compliance of the new level of Airport Fees with the fee model and the main provisions of applicable regulations.
Following the launch, on 15 May 2015, the consultations with users on fees for the next period (2016-2019) regulated on the basis of what was planned by the Authority (ART) in the Airport Fee Model regulation for airports with traffic greater than 5 million passengers/year issued by said Authority on 22 September 2014, on 17 June 2015 a public audition with the so-called Interested Users was held (airlines with flight activity at the airport in the year prior to the launch of the consultations) and, therefore, on 17 July 2015 the
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 27
definitive fee proposal and the related aspects were officially sent to the airlines and to the Transportation Regulation Authority. On 6 August 2015, the Authority decided on compliance with the definitive review proposal for airport fees for the four year period 2016-2019 of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. while subjecting this compliance to the application of some adjustments and moreover requesting the manager to define additional qualitative service levels with airlines compared to the levels provided for by the quality plan approved by ENAC. The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna was called to comply with the provisions pursuant to the aforementioned ART resolution within 90 days from the date thereof.
On 11 September 2015 an agreement with the Airlines involved in the meeting held by the airport manager on the levels of specific airport performance was signed; the agreement is based on a principle of reciprocity and "quid pro quo" of the services and efforts from both parties
As detailed also in the chapter pertaining to "events after the period", on 27 October 2015, the Transport Regulation Authority approved the compliance with the benchmark fee Model of the definitive proposal for a review of the airport fees for the four year period 2016-2019 for the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.. The new fee system takes effect from 1 January 2016.
The Company, on its institutional website, updated its traffic development policy relative to the incentive plan scheduled for the second half of 2015. The traffic development policy is accessible, in a transparent and non-discriminatory way, to all interested airlines.
In this section the most recent updates of the main - fundamentally in economic terms - disputes underway shall be mentioned without claiming to be exhaustive with respect to all the positions for which specific sums were posted in the context of provisions for litigation. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, please refer to the previous reports for a more in depth review of the main disputes.
With regards to the issue of the contribution to the Fund established by the Finance Law 2007 in order to reduce the cost borne by the State for the organization and execution of the fire prevention service at Italian airports, the Parent Company promoted in 2012 and later in 2013 through a new ENAC payment request a specific judicial action before the Civil Court of Rome, essentially requesting the Judge to ensure and declare the end of the required contribution following the change in the purpose of the aforementioned Fund, starting from 1 January 2009. From said date, in fact, the resources in question going towards the Fund were provisioned for generic needs of public assistance and civil defence as well as to finance the renewals of the Fire Service's Collective Labour Agreements. The law suit is still underway.
On 2 October 2015, without any appeal proposal, the term expired for challenging sentence no. 20971/2014 of the Court of Bologna. Therefore, the injunction that declared the incompetence of the Ordinary Judicial Authority to make a judgement in the dispute between AdB and Coopservice became final and, as a consequence, revoked the opposing legal order, ordering Coopservice to reimburse AdB for costs of the proceedings. The lawsuit therefore closed definitely and victoriously for the Company, thereby releasing the litigation Fund.
With regards to disputes with employees let it be known that in this nine month report we determined, with the support of lawyers, to make additional provisions for liabilities against the ongoing litigation.

With reference to the information requested by article 2428, c.2, n.6 bis we 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.
Taking into account the significant commitments to infrastructural development, liquidity risk could materialise in the difficulty of obtaining financing at the right time and at the right rate because of the credit crunch in particular. 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 goes, taking into account the 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 aircraft industry with the subsequent increase in credit risk. The Group's credit risk presents a moderate degree of concentration in that 40% of credit 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:
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 moment of 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 sharpens 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 Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-year period 2012-2014 included under noncurrent assets, among others, Concession Rights at EUR 156 million as of 31 December 2014, EUR 157 million as of 31 December 2013 and EUR 142 million as of 31 December 2012. The overall impact on total assets was equal to 73.24% as of 31 December 2014, 72.76% as of 31 December 2013 and 67.65% as of 31 December 2012. The overall incidence of Concession Rights on the Group's net equity was equal, respectively, to around 124.58% as of 31 December 2014, to around 131.64% as of 31 December 2013 and to 123.54% as of 31 December 2012. These amounts express the values of Concession Rights as determined in application of the IFRIC Interpretation 12 - Service Concession Arrangements ("IFRIC 12") to all freely revertible assets from the ENAC in 2004.
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 29
For purposes of preparing the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-year period 2012- 2014, the Concession Rights were subject to an impairment test in compliance with IAS 36. In particular, the test was conducted by comparing the carrying value of the asset or group of assets making up the Cash Generating Unit (or "CGU") with its recoverable value, calculated as the larger value between the fair value (net of any sale costs) and the value of the net cash flows realized which are expected to be produced from the asset or group of assets making up the CGU (value-in-use). In order to conduct the aforementioned analysis, the cash flows inferable from the 2015-2044 economic-financial forecasts formulated by the Board of the Directors of the Company were used. Please note that the fees used for the calculation of cash flows for purposes of the impairment test were the fees applied by the Group in 2014, for the years 2015-2019, while for the subsequent years the same cash flows are based on the 2019 fees increased for inflation for the remaining years up to the term of the Concession. The objectives and assumptions of the 2015-2044 economic-financial forecasts were determined by taking into account the historic management results and were processed based on precise estimates of passenger traffic and the relative revenues, as well as estimated calculated on the basis of primary sector analyses and activity category models, using also growth consistent with and not exceeding that forecasted for the relevant sector.
The impairment test did not show lasting loss of value with reference to the amounts booked among the Concession Rights for the years 2014, 2013 and 2012 and, subsequently, write-downs of said assets have not been made in the past.
In relation to the preparation of the consolidated interim report, given that impairment indicators have not arisen as defined by IAS 36 and given that the Group's economic-financial performance is in line with 2015- 2044 economic-financial forecasts prepared by the Board of Directors and previously used for carrying out impairment tests for the year ended 31 December 2014 and previous years, impairment tests were not performed in that it was deemed that no lasting loss of value with reference to the amounts booked under Concession Rights as of 30 September 2015 occurred.
The Parent Company is exposed to risk of reduction of margins on revenues of the Business Aviation Unit in case of increase of traffic volumes by airlines that benefit from incentives. The Company, in compliance with its incentive policy aimed at traffic and route development at the Airport, grants to both legacy carriers and low cost airlines incentives related to the volume of passenger traffic and new routes. The said 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 Business Aviation Unit could be reduced proportionally, with a significant negative impact on the Group's economic, capital and financial situation.
In regards to this risk the Company, though facing a national market, particularly for domestic connections, characterized by a growing presence of low cost flights, is active in developing a mix of traffic so as to maintain positive profit margins. In this regard, the launch of the route operated by Emirates to Dubai is deemed particularly significant.
In the following table a summary of the guarantees provided by the Group is reported.
| in thousands of Euro | 30/09/2015 | 30/09/2014 | Change % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sureties | 4,827 | 4,590 | 5% |
| Letters of comfort | 2,763 | 3,011 | -8% |
| Total guarantees issues | 7,590 | 7,602 | 0% |
As of 30 September 2015, the guarantees issued by the Group amount to EUR 7.6 million and refer mainly to:
| Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. | Page 30 |
|---|---|
surety bond in favour of ENAC required by the Total Management Agreement (EUR 3.9 million);
patronage letter relative to the loan granted to the subsidiary Tag Bologna Srl by the Banca Agricola Mantovana (now Monte dei Paschi di Siena) equal to 51% of the residual capital which, as of the end of the period, is equal to EUR 2.8 million.
After the closing of the January-September 2015 period no events occurred so as to justify changes to the economic, capital and financial situation shown in the statements and therefore to require adjustments and/or amendments to the financial statement.
Please note, however, some significant events that occurred after the closing of the period or that will occur in the next few months.
In October the Airport registered an increase in passenger traffic of 7.3% compared to the same month in 2014, for a monthly total of 601,612 passengers, confirming the positive trend that characterized the summer months, thanks to the launch of new routes and the strengthening of existing routes. In the first ten months of the year total passengers amounted to 5,839,911, with an increase of 3.7% compared to the same period in 2014.
With regard to the launch of new connections:
On 27 October 2015, the Transport Regulation Authority approved the compliance with the benchmark fee Model of the definitive proposal of review of the airport fees for the four year period 2016-2019 of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.. The new fee system is effective starting from 1 January 2016.
The proposal, published on the company's website www.bologna-airport.it in the section "Business Aviation/Airport Fees" in the Corporate Area, was updated based on previous decision of the Authority on
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 31
7 August and also foresees the application of a service level agreement on certain airport performance levels.
On 30 October, in order to strengthen the airport's connectivity and intermodality, the Board of Directors of the company Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. approved an additional contribution to Marconi Express S.p.A., the concessionaire of People Mover systems, namely the rail connection planned between the Central Station of Bologna and Bologna Airport.
Against a total cost of the work that remains unchanged and considering a different contribution from the local entities involved, the Board of Directors of Bologna Airport approved an additional investment aimed at contributing to the works that the concessionaire will carry out.
The investment, equal to EUR 2 million, adds to the commitments already approved equal to EUR 13.2 million of which EUR 8.9 million through the subscription of EFI ("Equity Financial Instruments with Participation Rights" provided for by article 2346 of the civil code, last para.) to be issued by Marconi Express S.p.A.. The total amount invested by Bologna Airport will therefore become equal to approximately EUR 15.2 million. The amount approved on this date will also be invested in the form of an EFI and similarly to the past it is expected that it will be signed through prior assessment of the fulfilment of conditions mainly related to the distribution of the shareholdings and the granting of the financing and authorizations required for the project, typical for transactions of this nature, and will be financially released at various times, in strict correlation to the effective realization and conclusion of the works. The Company decided to invest more in the project, considering the strategic value deriving from the expected improvement of the airport's accessibility through a direct and more rapid connection with the high speed railway line.
With regard to the relationships in the first nine months of 2015 with subsidiaries and affiliates and with related parties, please refer to what is written in the dedicated section in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2015.
The signals of recovery deriving from the general macroeconomic trend lead us to look at the next few months in a generally positive manner, though aware of potential risk due to the still uncertain geopolitical international scenario that could negatively influence air traffic dynamics.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2015
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 39
The Group operates in the business of airport management. Specifically:
These Gourp interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter "the Group's consolidated interim financial statements" or "consolidated financial statements") have been prepared for the nine months ended on 30 September 2015 and include the comparative data regaridong the year ended 31 December 2014, limited to the items contained in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the comparative figures for the nine month period 1 January 2014-30 September 2014, limited to the items contained in the Consolidated Income Statement and in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for financial assets held for sale that are carried at fair value, as well as on the going concern assumption.

Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 43
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.

Lastly, this segment encompasses all centralised infrastructure and assets for exclusive use: the centralised infrastructure represents the revenues received in connection with infrastructure 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.

The increase in trade receivables at 30 September 2015 compared to 31 December 2014 is mainly due to the seasonality of airport activity.
Società Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Page 47
The trade receivables are written down to their face value through a provision for doubtful trade receivables determined at each period on the basis of a specific analysis, both regarding issues under dispute and issues which, although not disputed, are significantly older.
This assessment requires the development of estimates regarding the probability of the relative recovery, also carried out through the support of lawyers in charge of the litigation and taking into account the sureties received from customers.
The measure of the fund on 30 September 2015, equal to 1.7 million Euros, is considered reasonable in order to bring the nominal value of the trade receivables up to the value of likely realisable value.
The changes in the Provision for doubtful accounts during the two periods were as follows:

Other provisions for risks and charges at 30 September 2015 exclusively include the provision for contractual charges for the agreement signed in December 2009 with Enav (Società Nazionale per l'assistenza al volo [the Italian National Air Traffic Control Company]) and Enac (Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile [the Italian Civil Aviation Authority]), which provides for the inclusion of an additional area in the inventory of assets received under concession.
Given this expansion of the area received in concession, the Company assumed the two following obligations:
1) demolition of existing structure;
2) construction of a new building on behalf of the original grantor.
In view of this contractual obligation, the Company has quantified the increase in Concession Rights at 31 December 2009 on the basis of the present value of the estimated cost for the fulfilment of its obligations for a liability recognised in accordance with IAS 37.
The provision for contractual obligations is discounted based on the expected date of completion (2016) at a discount rate calculated based on the average yield on government bonds.
Based on the date of the alleged use of the provision, the same was reclassified in the provisions for current risks and charges in June 2015.

For the definition of "Related Party" reference is made to the International accounting standard IAS 24, approved by the EC Regulation No. 1725/2003.
The Intragroup transactions are implemented as part of the ordinary management and at normal market conditions.
Relationships with the related party refer mostly to transactions of a commercial and financial nature and to adherence to tax consolidation.
None of these assumes particular economic or strategic importance for the Group since receivables, payables, revenues and costs towards related parties are not a significant percentage of the total values of the Balance Sheet.
The Bologna Chamber of Commerce member was identified as a "Government Related Entity", thus determining exemption from the report required in relation to the related parties as defined by IAS 24.
The classification of this company as a Government Related Entity, has therefore limited the extent of checks aimed at the identification of the related parties linked to only the identification of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as a Government Related Entity, thus excluding from the perimeter all the latter's affiliated and subsidiary companies.
No further information is therefore contained in the Balance Sheet with respect to the relationships of the Company with the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna partner, since there are no significant transactions with this partner.
As for relations with Marconi Handling S.r.l., the biggest items entered in revenues for the first nine months of 2015 concern fees from sub-concessionaries of premises, operating spaces and check-in desks, maintenance of vehicles and rentals of de-icing vehicles. Among the main costs, the payment for the PRM (Reduced Mobility Persons) service, the contribution to the de-icing service and payment for the H24 service.
The main relationships with Sirio S.p.A. concern revenues for assistance services to General Aviation and for the hangar handling operations service and, finally, the relationships with GH Italy S.r.l. refer to the fulfilment of the payment of the remaining instalments of the agreed fee for the transfer of the share of Marconi Handling S.r.l. including the relevant interest.
