| About Azimut | 40 |


| Tackled a number of important investors concerns; now fully focused on business | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Concern / Uncertainty |
Key mitigants & actions |
Status | |
| 1. Performance Fees |
Already filed a new method for the calculation of performance fees Based on annual benchmark plus spread linked to product categories Expect new methodology to kick in on Jan. 1st 2020 |
||
| 2. Multiple CEOs |
A global business operating in multiple markets and segments requires a new approach in leadership 5 CEOs, each with specific and distinct mandates, are operating effectively within their respective areas, reporting directly to the Board Strong coordination and focus so far |
||
| 3. Volatility of the P&L |
Previous performance fee method resulted in a highly volatile P&L: Net Profit was ca. 2/3 by performance fees New method is transforming the P&L to become more stable and recurring oriented: 80% of the Net Profit going forward will be recurring |
||
| 4. International Business |
Showered tangible and positive results, growing at a significantly higher pace than the home market Profitability improving and growing faster than AUM. More results to come |
||
| 5. Operating Costs |
A hands-on approach leading to a concrete cost control, with SG&A essentially flat over the last quarters More efficiencies to come out of new IT platform and economies of scale |

P&L transformation almost complete; ready for a new (growth oriented) 5-yr Plan
- First hints of the new P&L showing encouraging results
- 2x Recurring Fee Net Profit
- No impacts on net inflows post Mifid and repricing; actually improving over the last few months over €3.2bn YtD while the Italian industry is registering outflows
- Client onboarding improving in Italy vs. 2018
- Client net performance still above industry and fully recovered the 2018 losses
- Going forward:
- New 5-Year Business Plan to be released within the next 12 months
- Positively "disrupted" the old, traditional Private Markets segment in Italy: democratization of the asset class with launch of key funds from September onwards
- Target to reach at least €1.5bn by 2020 and >15% of Total Assets by 2024
- Remain open for selective M&A, either bulking up existing presence or entering into new markets / businesses complementing the existing offering
- Committed to €250-300mn as Net Profit, of which ca. 80% from Recurring revenues
- International business to continue growing mostly organically and improving profitability


Well on track to achieve the remaining target of Net Profit
