Some figures in the in the Financial Position at 31 December 2013 have been restated for comparative purposes following the introduction of IFRS 11 applicable from 1 January 2014
The increase in net debt mainly reflected the lower cash flow from operating activities and cash outflows for investments that were mainly for improvements made to MiCo – Milano Congressi
Fiera Milano SpA
- • The difficult economic environment in Italy and the unfavourable exhibition calendar had an impact on the results of the Parent Company in 2014: the net loss was Euro 30.7 million
- • The net loss also reflected Euro 14.9 million of impairment charges for investments in the subsidiary Fiera Milano Media, which incorporates the value of the business divisions for publications, editorial and communication products (Euro 11.1 million) and for the investments held by the subsidiary Eurofairs International Consultoria e Participaçoes (Euro 3.8 million)
- • As a result, the share capital of the Parent Company has fallen by one-third and the Company is in the situation to which Article 2466 of the Italian Civil Code applies
- • The exhibition business has shown positive signs in the first months of 2015 supporting the assumption of a turnaround in 2015 when the Company should benefit not only from the economic recovery in Italy, now considered highly likely, but also from the particularly favourable exhibition calendar and the presence of Expo 2015
- • The forecasts for 2015 underpin Company expectations that, barring any unforeseeable events, it will be able to restore the share capital to above the two-thirds threshold required by law
