Interim Report on Operations
1. Profile of DeA Capital S.p.A.
With assets under management of more than EUR 11,500 million and an investment portfolio of approximately EUR 430 million, DeA Capital S.p.A. is one of Italy's largest alternative investment operators.
The Company, which operates in both the Private Equity Investment and Alternative Asset Management businesses, is listed on the FTSE Italia STAR section of the Milan stock exchange and heads the De Agostini Group in the area of financial investments.
In the Private Equity Investment business, DeA Capital S.p.A. has "permanent" capital, and therefore has the advantage – compared with traditional private equity funds, which are normally restricted to a pre-determined duration – of greater flexibility in optimising the timing of entry to and exit from investments. In terms of investment policy, this flexibility allows it to adopt an approach based on value creation, including over the medium to long term.
In the Alternative Asset Management business, DeA Capital S.p.A. – through its subsidiaries DeA Capital Real Estate SGR and DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR – is Italy's leading operator. The two asset management companies are active in the promotion, management and value enhancement of investment funds, using approaches based on sector experience and the identification of opportunities for achieving the best returns.
The Company's ability to carry out investment initiatives that are structurally very complex, on the one hand, and raise funds through its asset management subsidiaries, on the other, is proof of the effectiveness of its business model, which combines private investment and asset management activities to create value in a unique way in Italy's alternative asset management sector. It does this thanks to:
- the quality, built up over time, of the management team, which has over 200 professionals dedicated to managing funds in the most attractive alternative investment asset classes (real estate, private equity and NPL);
- its solid financial position, which enables it to support the launch of new initiatives with its own capital, and hence substantially align its interests with those of the investors in the managed funds;
- an extensive network of international relationships, which makes DeA Capital the preferred Gate-to-Italy for alternative investment decisions in our country;
- its membership of one of Italy's leading business groups, whose structure is built on a long-term approach that best supports the Company's growth path.
At 30 September 2017, DeA Capital S.p.A. reported Group shareholders' equity of EUR 502.3 million, corresponding to a net asset value (NAV) of EUR 1.96 per share (compared with EUR 1.91 per share at 31 December 2016, adjusted for the distribution of the extraordinary dividend of EUR 0.12 per share in May 2017.
The investment portfolio totalled EUR 434.6 million and consists of Private Equity Investment shareholdings of EUR 80.0 million, Private Equity Investment funds of EUR 188.9 million and net assets relating to the Alternative Asset Management business of EUR 165.7 million.
The net financial position of the holding companies was positive (i.e. net cash) at EUR 67.6 million.
At 30 September 2017, the corporate structure of the Group headed by DeA Capital S.p.A. (the DeA Capital Group, or the Group) was as summarised below(*):

4. Significant events in the third quarter of 2017
The significant events that occurred in the third quarter of 2017 are summarised below. For events that took place during the first half of the year, please refer to the Half-Year Report to 30 June 2017, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 8 September 2017.
Alternative asset management funds – paid calls/distributions
In the third quarter of 2017, the DeA Capital Group increased its respective investments with net payments totalling EUR 2.0 million. Investments in the first nine months of 2017 totalled EUR 6.9 million, and relate to the IDeA I FoF, ICF II, ICF III, IDeA EESS, IDeA ToI and IDeA CCR I funds.
At the same time, the DeA Capital Group received capital reimbursements totalling EUR 11.9 million during the third quarter. The cumulative total of reimbursements received in the first nine months of 2017 amounted to EUR 20.6 million, and relate to the IDeA I FoF, ICF II, IDeA OF I and IDeA EESS funds.
Thus, the private equity funds in which DeA Capital S.p.A. invested produced a net positive cash balance totalling EUR 9.9 million for the portion relating to the Group in the third quarter of 2017 and EUR 13.7 million in the first nine months of 2017.
Reduction in the commitments of IDeA CCR I's Nuova Finanza sub-fund
With effect from 1 July 2017, IDeA CCR I approved a reduction in the Nuova Finanza (new finance) sub-fund's commitment to EUR 42.8 million (from the original EUR 85.3 million) due to the good performance of the portfolio companies and the resulting lower requirements for the injection of "new finance" to relaunch said companies (as defined when the fund in question was structured). DeA Capital's commitment in this fund was therefore reduced from EUR 15.1 million to EUR 7.6 million.
Agreement to sell investments in Sigla and SiCollection
On 7 July 2017, Sigla Luxembourg, a 41.4%-owned investee company of DeA Capital S.p.A., signed an agreement to sell two investments (100% of the capital) held in Sigla and SiCollection to Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund (Alchemy).
Sigla, which is recorded in the register of intermediaries pursuant to art. 106 of the Italian Consolidated Banking Law (TUB), operates in salary-backed loans, while SiCollection is active in the servicing of non-performing loans. Alchemy specialises in investments in private equity and special situations in Europe and has a proven track record in the financial services sector.
The transaction includes, inter alia, the standard reps and warranties for this type of agreement. It is subject to conditions precedent, which include obtaining the necessary approval of the supervisory authorities. Completion is expected by the end of 2017.
The consideration for the sale, net of transaction costs and expenses relating to the management equity plan (for Sigla Luxembourg), is expected to generate a pro-rata share of around EUR 11.8 million for DeA Capital (slightly higher than the book value of the investment in Sigla Luxembourg).
Increased voting rights for DeA Capital S.p.A. shares held by the Parent Company De Agostini S.p.A.
On 7 July 2017, the increased voting rights attached to 178,795,798 DeA Capital S.p.A. ordinary shares owned by De Agostini S.p.A. (a company controlled by B&D Holding di Marco Drago e C.S.a.p.a.), became effective pursuant to art. 127-quinquies of the TUF and the Company's articles of association.
As a result of this increase in voting rights, De Agostini S.p.A. holds about 58.3% of the share capital of DeA Capital S.p.A. and approximately 73.7% of the related voting rights.
Acquisition of Yard by IRE
On 24 July 2017, Innovation Real Estate (IRE, a 45%-owned investee company of the DeA Capital Group) completed the acquisition of Yard, a full-service provider operating in the real estate sector, which has a customer/services mix that is complementary to that of IRE. The transaction, which does not involve any share exchanges, will take the form of a merger by incorporation of Yard into IRE, and is expected to complete by 2018.
SPC capital increase
In July 2017, payments totalling EUR 2.5 million (the DeA Capital Group's share: EUR 2 million) were made to SPC, which following subsequent shareholder resolutions (coverage of losses and allocation of share capital) brought the stake held in SPC to 80% (from 85% previously).
5. Results of the DeA Capital Group
The consolidated results for the period relate to the operations of the DeA Capital Group in the following businesses:
- Private Equity Investment, which includes the reporting units involved in private equity investment, broken down into shareholdings (direct investments) and investments in funds (indirect investments);

Investments in associates
Sigla Luxembourg (Parent Company of Sigla)
Registered office: Italy
Sector: Consumer credit
Website: www.siglacredit.it
Investment details:
On 5 October 2007, the DeA Capital Group finalised the acquisition of a stake (currently 41.4%) in Sigla Luxembourg, the holding company that fully controls Sigla, which operates in Italy and provides consumer credit for non-specific purposes.
Brief description:
Sigla specialises in salary-backed loans. It is a benchmark operator in the provision of financial services to households throughout Italy, chiefly through a network of agents.
Its activities also include servicing unsecured non-performing loans (personal loans and credit cards) carried out by SiCollection.
The investment in Sigla Luxembourg, amounting to EUR 11.5 million, which was unchanged compared with 31 December 2016, was classified under "Held-for-sale assets" in light of the process to sell the assets, which is under way. In July 2017, Sigla Luxembourg received and accepted a binding offer to purchase 100% of the capital of its subsidiaries Sigla and SiCollection: DeA Capital's pro-rata share of the purchase price, totalling around EUR 11.8 million, is broadly in line with the carrying value of the subsidiary.
| Sigla (mln $\epsilon$ ) | First nine months of First nine months of 2017 |
2016 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salary-backed loans granted | 163.3 | 130.5 | 32.8 |
| Revenues from Salary-backed loans | 9.5 | 9.6 | (0.1) |
| Group net profit | 21 | (0.5) |
With regard to operating performance, In the first nine months of 2017, Sigla continued to show sustained growth in salary-backed loans $(+25%)$ , with very buoyant fund-raising to support the pace of growth in CQS loans, in terms of both quantity (around EUR 400 million raised in 2017) and quality (diversification of the financing institutions and the introduction of securitisations as a form of funding).
At the same time, Sigla's risk profile has continued to improve significantly, given the gradual recovery of the portfolio of the outstanding personal loans portfolio (down to EUR 26.0 million at 30 September 2017) and the substantial repayment of financial debt (from EUR 32 million at 31 December 2014 to EUR 0.5 million at 30 September 2017).
Investments in other companies
Kenan Investments (holder of a shareholding in Migros)
Sector: Food retail
Website: www.migros.com.tr
Investment details:
In 2008, the DeA Capital Group acquired 17.1% of the capital of Kenan Investments, the company heading the structure to acquire Migros.
The stake held by Kenan Investments is currently 30.50%, after the sale of a 40.25% interest in Anadolu Endüstri Holding, a leading Turkish conglomerate, finalised in 2015, and of a further stake of 9.75% recently (following the exercise of a put option in the first half of $2017$ ).
Brief description:
Migros was established in 1954 and is the leading company in the food retail sector in Turkey. The company has 1,844 sales outlets (at 30 June 2017), with a total net area of 1,429 thousand square metres.
Migros is present in all seven regions of Turkey, and has marginal presences in Kazakhstan and Macedonia.
The company operates under the following names: Migros and Macrocenter (supermarkets), 5M (hypermarkets), Ramstore (supermarkets abroad) and Kangurum (online store).
Growth in the retail sector in Turkey is a relatively recent phenomenon, brought about by the transition from traditional systems such as bakkals (small stores typically run by families) to an increasingly widespread organised distribution model.
In 2017, Migros completed the acquisition of Tesco-Kipa, a large supermarket chain with a turnover of over TRY 2 billion and 168 sales outlets.
The stake in Kenan Investments (indirectly corresponding to approximately 5.2% of Migros' capital, i.e. 30.5% of Migros' capital via the Group's investment in Kenan Investments) is recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements to 30 September 2017 at EUR 60.0 million (compared with EUR 66.9 million at 31 December 2016).
The decrease (EUR -6.9 million) on the figure at 31 December 2016 is due to a combination of:
- net proceeds (EUR 17.8 million) realised on 1 June 2017 following the exercise of the put option on the 9.75% stake in Migros;
- an increase in fair value (EUR $+10.9$ million) due to the combined effect of the rise in the price per share (TRY 25.74 per share at 30 September 2017, versus TRY 17.58 per share at 31 December 2016) and the devaluation of the Turkish lira against the euro (4.21 TRY/EUR at 30 September 2017, versus 3.72 TRY/EUR at 31 December 2016).
| Migros (mln YTL) | First Half 2017 | First Half 2016 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 7,037 | 38.5% | |
| EBITDA | 349 | 296 | 17.7% |
| Net financial debt | (2,309) | (1,805) | -504 mln YTL |
(*) Pending the publication of data as at 30 September 2017, the figures at 30 June 2017 are shown, already commented on in the Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2017
Funds
At 30 September 2017, the DeA Capital Group's Private Equity Investment business included investments in:
- - the IDeA OF I fund (fully consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10);
- - the IDeA EESS fund and the Venere real estate fund (classified under "Investments in associates", based on the units held);
- - in three funds of funds (IDeA I FoF, ICF II and ICF III), two theme funds (IDeA ToI and IDeA CCR I), six venture capital funds and the Santa Palomba real estate fund,
worth a net total of approximately EUR 188.9 million (corresponding to the estimated fair value calculated using the information available on the date this document was prepared) in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 September 2017.
Residual commitments for all the funds in the portfolio were approximately EUR 93.0 million.

With regard to operating performance, in the first nine months of 2017, the Company continued along the path of asset growth, started in the previous year, with the launch of four new funds (including the "Broggi" fund) and the second phase of the "Trophy Value Added" fund, with total receipts of EUR 1.1 billion. This growth enabled the Company to offset the concomitant squeeze in management fees and to keep the level of revenues achieved in the year-earlier period broadly unchanged.
Net profit attributable to shareholders (EUR 6.3 million, of which EUR 4.1 million is the DeA Capital Group's portion) improved on the same period in 2016; this was due to the higher oneoff costs (in particular, write-downs of units in some portfolio funds) that affected last year's figure.
Note also that the total net result includes the write-downs of financial equity instruments (strumenti finanziari partecipativi, or SFP), which had a net effect of EUR -6.1 million (DeA Capital portion equal to EUR -2.1 million).

Investment details:
SPC Credit Management has been operating for over 15 years in restructuring, outsourced management and the enhancement of non-performing loans.
Over the years, the company has developed specific expertise, namely:
- debt recovery actions in and out of court (with a strong performance in out-of-court resolutions of non-performing loans);
- advisory services via the valuation and clustering of credit portfolios and the identification of strategic solutions to enhance the value of these:
- due diligence and asset quality reviews of NPL portfolio acquisitions.
With specific regard to debt recovery, the company has acquired the expertise to monitor the entire range of non-performing loans, namely:
- banking (current accounts, mortgages and personal loans);
- leasing (terminated or active agreements; remaining leased properties post-sale of nonperforming portfolio);
- consumer (consumer credit, salary-backed loans, credit cards);
- commercial (outstanding invoices);
with a focus on secured loans.
During the first nine months of 2017, SPC launched a reorganisation of operating procedures under the leadership of a new management team, which led, inter alia, to a more prudent valuation of prospective income flows. This had a one-off effect of EUR -2.9 million (of which EUR -2.4 million related to goodwill impairment) on the Group's Income Statement, which should be added to the pro-rata portion of the net result for the period (Group's portion: EUR - $0.3$ million).

Consolidated Income Statement
The Group reported a net profit of approximately EUR 4.9 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with a net profit of EUR 9.8 million in the same period of 2016.
Revenues and other income break down as follows:
- fees of EUR 42.2 million for the Alternative Asset Management business (EUR 43.9 million in the same period of 2016);
- income from investments valued at equity of EUR 5.5 million, linked to the performance of the EESS fund;
- other investment income, net of expenses, totalling EUR 5.6 million (EUR 6.1 million in the same period of 2016); this was mainly due to the effects of exercising the put option on a 9.75% stake in Migros (EUR 3.8 million) and the performance of the investments held by IDeA OF I;
- service and other revenues of EUR 0.7 million (EUR 8.4 million recorded in 2016), which were lower due to the deconsolidation of IRE from June 2016.
In the first nine months of 2017, costs totalled EUR 49.6 million, compared with EUR 44.3 million in the same period of 2016.
Costs in the first nine months of 2017 break down into EUR 43.8 million relating to Alternative Asset Management, EUR 1.7 million to Private Equity Investment and EUR 4.1 million to holding company activities.

The tax impact for the first nine months of 2017, totalling EUR -1.3 million (EUR -1.1 million in the first nine months of 2016), is the sum of taxes due in respect of Alternative Asset Management activities (EUR -1.1 million, versus EUR -5.0 million in the same period of 2016) and holding company activities (EUR -0.1 million, versus tax credits of EUR +3.9 million in the first nine months of 2016).

|---|---|---|---|
At 30 September 2017, Group Consolidated Shareholders' Equity totalled EUR 502.3 million, compared with EUR 529.2 million at 31 December 2016.
The decrease of EUR -26.9 million in Group Shareholders' Equity in the first nine months of 2017 was mainly due to the extraordinary dividend paid (EUR -31.2 million), the effects of changes in treasury shares (totalling EUR -6.7 million), and the reasons set out in the Statement of Performance -IAS 1 (EUR 9.7 million).
Consolidated net financial position
At 30 September 2017, the consolidated net financial position was positive at EUR 97.3 million, as shown in the table below, which provides a comparison with 31 December 2016:
| Net financial position (EUR million) |

| Current financial liabilities | (0.2) | (1.2) | 1.0 |
| TOTAL | 97.3 | 103.1 | (5.8) |
| of which: | |||
| - Holdings | 67.7 | 79.7 | (12.0) |
| - DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR | 10.3 | 11.0 | (0.7) |
| - DeA Capital Real Estate SGR | 16.6 | 12.6 | 4.0 |
| - Other | 2.7 | (0.2) | 2.9 |
The change in the Consolidated Net Financial Position in the first nine months of 2017 (EUR - 5.8 million) was mainly due to the holding companies (EUR -12.0 million). The change recorded by the latter was mainly due to the distribution of the extraordinary dividend by DeA Capital S.p.A. (EUR -31.2 million), changes in own shares (EUR -6.7 million) and the net cash generated by private equity investments (EUR +24.1 million).
The Company believes that the cash and cash equivalents and the other financial resources available are sufficient to meet the requirement relating to payment commitments already subscribed to in funds, also taking into account the amounts expected to be called up/distributed by these funds. With regard to these residual commitments, the Company believes that the resources currently available, as well as those that will be generated by its operating and financing activities, will enable the DeA Capital Group to meet the financing required for its investment activity and to manage working capital.

Structure and content of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements to 30 September 2017
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements to 30 September 2017 (hereinafter the "Consolidated Financial Statements") comprise the document stipulated by art. 2.2.3 of the Stock Market Regulations (FTSE Italia STAR segment). Information regarding the Company's operating performance and financial position is prepared in accordance with the valuation and measurement criteria set out by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Commission pursuant to the procedures set out at art. 6 of Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of 19 July 2002. The accounting standards used in the Consolidated Financial Statements do not differ significantly from those used in the Financial Statements to 31 December 2016 and in the Half-Year Report to 30 June 2017.
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise the following consolidated accounts – the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement, the Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and the Statement of Comprehensive Income (IAS 1) – and these Notes to the Accounts; they are also accompanied by the Interim Report on Operations and the Statement of Responsibilities for the Interim Management Report.
The consolidated accounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements have not been audited by the Independent Auditors.
Financial information is discussed with reference to the first nine months of 2017 and the same period in 2016; information on the Statement of Financial Position relates to 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016. The Consolidated Financial Statements are provided in the same format as those for 31 December 2016.
As allowed by IAS/IFRS, the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements required the use of significant estimates by the Company's management, especially with regard to the valuations of the investment portfolio (equity investments and funds). These valuations were calculated by directors based on their best judgement and estimation using the knowledge and evidence available at the time the Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared. However, due to objective difficulties in making assessments and the lack of a liquid market, the values assigned to such assets could differ, perhaps and in some cases significantly, from those that could be obtained when the assets are sold.
In accordance with the provisions of IAS/IFRS and current laws, the Company authorised the publication of the Interim Management Report by the legal deadline.

Available-for-sale investments in other companies
At 30 September 2017, the DeA Capital Group was a shareholder with minority interests in Kenan Investments (holder of a stake in Migros), Crescita and Harvip.
The stake in Kenan Investments (indirectly corresponding to approximately 5.2% of Migros' capital, i.e. 30.5% of Migros' capital via the Group's investment in Kenan Investments) is recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements to 30 September 2017 at EUR 60.0 million (compared with EUR 66.9 million at 31 December 2016). The decrease (EUR -6.9 million) on the figure at 31 December 2016 is due to a combination of:
- - net proceeds (EUR 17.8 million) realised on 1 June 2017 following the exercise of the put option on the 9.75% stake in Migros;
- - an increase in fair value (EUR +10.9 million) due to the combined effect of the rise in the price per share (TRY 25.74 per share at 30 September 2017, versus TRY 17.58 per share at 31 December 2016) and the devaluation of the Turkish lira against the euro (4.21 TRY/EUR at 30 September 2017, versus 3.72 TRY/EUR at 31 December 2016).
The investment in Crescita SPAC is recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements to 30 September 2017 at EUR 8.3 million, with an increase in fair value of EUR +0.5 million compared with the initial investment of EUR 7.8 million.

Rebranding of asset management companies
Two asset management companies controlled by DeA Capital S.p.A. changed their name with effect from early October 2017. IDeA Capital Funds SGR was renamed DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR and IDeA Fimit SGR became DeA Capital Real Estate SGR.
This rebranding comes in tandem with the start of a new development phase for DeA Capital S.p.A.'s Alternative Asset Management platform; its aim is to focus on broadening its international reach and offering its own-brand investment products to the market, in line with the best practice of the major global managers.
DeA Capital S.p.A., through its subsidiary asset management companies, is Italy's main operator in the Alternative Investment sector, with:
- total assets under management of over EUR 11,500 million;
- a product range of more than 50 investment funds in the various asset classes of: real estate, private equity and non-performing loans
OUTLOOK
With regard to the Private Equity Investment area, the Company will continue its efforts to increase the value of the investments in its portfolio, and at the same time evaluate opportunities for new co-investment/club deal initiatives – including with funds managed by the platform – of a smaller size than in the past. The Group will also continue to sponsor new initiatives promoted by the asset management platform, and will use its available capital, partly arising from the sale of assets in the portfolio and the reimbursements of funds in which DeA Capital S.p.A. has invested, to invest in funds launched by this platform.
Turning to Alternative Asset Management, the Group will continue to develop its activities aimed at consolidating its leadership in Italy and expanding its investor base and product range, with a greater focus on the NPL (non-performing loans) segment. Within this framework, in order to best capitalise on its internal know-how, the Group will strengthen coordination of its investor development/coverage functions, with the aim of raising awareness of DeA Capital S.p.A. as an integrated platform comprising private equity, real estate and NPL.
In terms of its capital position, DeA Capital S.p.A. will continue to maintain a solid financial structure, ensuring that shareholders receive cash returns (via dividends and buy-back operations) based on the available liquidity.
