Snapshot of H1 2022 results

-23.0

H1 19 H1 20 H1 21 H1 22

  • AMR Globex forecasts that total net square meter volumes for the 2022 Italian exhibition market remain c. 40% lower than 2019. Fiera Milano, as of 30 June 2022 is approx. 32% lower than 2019 net square meter volume at consolidated level
  • YoY comparison not meaningful due to Italian activities suspension in H1 2021 and to Group's activity seasonal connotations (presence of biennial and multi-annual exhibitions)

Consolidated EBITDA 62.4 10.6 (23.0) 39.5

0.8 0.2 (0.8)

Italian exhibition business (1/4)

Net square meters (k units)

  • 28 exhibitions held in H1 2022 (o/w 9 directly managed and 19 hosted), with 690k net sqm occupied and more than 11k participating exhibitors
    • 6 relevant exhibitions postponed for strategic purposes: BIT (Feb to Apr), Transpotec Logitec (Jan to May), HOMI (Jan to Mar), Salone del Mobile (Apr to Jun), Mido (Feb to May) and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (Mar to June). The strategic choice of rescheduling some events within the semester proved to be a winning one (e.g. first rescheduled event BIT-Borsa Internazionale del Turismo in April able to fully express its potential with better than expected performances)
    • Strong comeback of international buyers and visitors, especially in the design, home décor and fashion exhibitions (e.g. Salone del Mobile with > 2,175 brands o/w 27% coming from abroad, HOMI with 40% of foreign brands participating, Si Sposaitalia with > 20% of international buyers, in line with pre-pandemic levels, HOMI Fashion&Jewels with 34% of foreign brands participating, Milano Unica with +35% of international buyers)
    • Better incidence of rebooking of the most relevant owned biennial exhibitions (Host, Tuttofood, Sicurezza) compared to expectations
    • Positive signals from the business of stand fittings following the relaunch of the trade fair activities already in Q1

  • YoY comparison not meaningful due to Italian activities suspension in H1 2021 and to Group's activity seasonal connotations (biennial and multi-annual exhibitions)
  • Revenues of €100.8m in H1 2022 (+ €97.9m vs H1 2021). Revenue contribution mainly coming from Salone del Mobile, all the textile and fashion exhibitions, the Innovation Alliance, Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, Mido and HOMI
  • Faster recovery of the business vs industry trend expectations
  • EBITDA of €35.2m (+ €14.8m vs H1 2021): EBITDA increase following the Revenues trend, partially offset by the presence in H1 2021 of the cost benefit coming from the Salary Integration Fund activation

and October (2)

▪ With 2,540 net smq occupied and more than 80 participating exhibitors, Investec Cape Town Art Fair was held in Feb-2022 and is the most important international contemporary Art Fair in Africa. Results in line with expectation

2 events held in H1 2022 - Exposec (security) which registered the best edition ever

▪ 5 biennial events postponed from 2020/2021 to 2022. Will take place in September (3)

both in terms of visitors and net sqm occupied (> 10k sqm) and Ecoenergy (renewable

  • Due to the recent Covid breakthrough in Shanghai combined with the "zero Covid" strategy of the Chinese government and relates restrictions, the events in H1 2022 shifted to the second half of the year
  • In 2021 signed 2 partnerships with dmg events for the launch of FIND (Furniture, Interiors e Design), the landmark Asian design industry event to be held in Singapore in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the hosting in Rho venue of Gastech (Sep-2022), the world's largest international energy industry event

  • Revenues of €2.4m in H1 2022 (+ €2.3m vs H1 2021) driven by the positive performance of Exposec (Brazil, 11k sqm) and Investec Cape Town Art Fair exhibition (South Africa, 3k sqm). It should be note that in H1 2021 no events have been held due to Covid-19 restrictions
  • EBITDA of €-0,7m in H1 2022 (-€0.2m vs H1 2021), mainly attributable to the negative result of the JV with Deutsche MESSE AG, which in H1 2022 had not scheduled any event in China. The net result of the joint ventures impacts the consolidated EBITDA only while Revenues are not impacted

Congresses

  • >30 congress events held in H1 2022 (o/w 19 with related exhibition area) at the MiCo venue Milano Congressi, one of the largest and most modern conference centre in Europe, with space for approx.18k people, 65 rooms and 50k square meters of exhibition space. Main events held: Salone del Risparmio, Sales Force, World of Coffe, ESA - Congresso Europeo di Anestesia, ECE - Congresso Europeo di Endocrinologia, EAS - Congresso Europeo Aterosclerosi and other corporate events (Allianz, Banca Generali, Azimut, Palinsesto Publitalia, Ferrari fashion show, among others)
  • Signed a nine-year agreement with Allianz for the acquisition of the naming rights of the Piazzale Carlo Magno congress center in Milan, which has been renamed Allianz MiCo. The new partnership gives MiCo-Milano Convention Center, an even greater international attractiveness thanks to the strength of the Allianz network
  • Fiera Milano Congressi will manage the new Turin Congress Centre (5,000 seats), to be built on the site of the former Westinghouse factory. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2022, with completion expected in 2024/25

5.0

  • Better than expected results for H1 2022 both in terms of performance and new events which exceeded the expected targets
  • Revenues of €18.1m in H1 2022 (+ €16.8m vs H1 2021)
  • After a light Q1 2022, H1 2022 EBITDA reached €5.0m (+ €3.7m vs H1 2021)
  • The positive increase of both Revenues and EBITDA is attributable to the restart of congress activity and is compared with the first half of 2021 conditioned by the suspension of conferences following the Covid-19 pandemic. Revenues expected to be back to pre-pandemic level by the end of 2023

Net Working Capital: passing from €-86.2m as of December 2021 to €-76.5m as of June 2022

  • Net Working Capital Δ of €9.7m mainly due to the combined effect of:
    • Increase in Trade Receivables (negative cash impact): from €31.1m as of December 2021 to €37.9m as of June 2022, resulting in an increase of €6.8m due to the high concentration of activity in June which normally is not a busy month
    • Increase in Trade Payables (positive cash impact): from €50.6m as of December 2021 to €53.0m as of June 2022, resulting in an increase of €2.4m, reflecting the underlying growth of the business
    • Decrease in Advances (negative cash impact): from €36.0m as of December 2021 to €29.8m as of June 2022, resulting in a decrease of €6.2m as a combined effect of:
      • Lack of Advances related to some H1 2022 exhibitions (Ipack-Ima, Salone del Mobile..) which had already been collected in 2021
      • Presence of the Advances related to H2 2022 and 2023 exhibitions already collected and accounted in H1 2022
    • Increase in Other Current Liabilities (positive cash impact): increase in Payables vs Organizers of €2.3m related to the treasury services offered by Fiera Milano to Hosted events (collecting participation fees in advance directly from exhibitors and later paying organisers) for that exhibitions still ongoing at the end of the semester (e.g. Mostra Convegno Expocomfort). Cash out payment to organizers will occur in the next quarters

Net Financial Debt/ (Cash) pre IFRS 16

  • Net cash of €55.6m compared to a net cash of €47.3m as of 31 December 2021
  • The positive change of €8.2m in net cash is mainly referred to the positive cash flow generated from the operational activity in H1 2022 and from the NWC dynamics explained above
  • Reimbursement of loans for an amount equal to €10.0m in H1 2022 2

  • Half yearly EBITDA of €39.5m
  • IFRS16 cash out of €19.5m in H1 2022 resulting as the sum of:
    • the financial impact of the Q4 rent installment of 2021 (deferred payment). As previously communicated to the market, in Dec 2021 Fiera Milano reached an agreement with Fondazione Fiera Milano for the reduction of rent related to the Rho and Milan exhibition sites for a total value of €5.5m. The economic impact of the rent reduction has already been booked in 2021 income statement. The financial impact of €5.5 plus VAT has occurred in Q1 2022, resulting in a total cash out of €6.4m
    • the financial impact of the Q1 rent installment of 2022 (deferred payment).
  • €9.7m of cash absorption coming from negative variation of Net Working Capital in H1 2022 due to atypical concentration of large exhibitions in June which affected the Net Working Capital dynamics, as explained in the previous slide

Excellent financial stability and comfortable liquidity position

Fiera Milano achieved an excellent financial stability in 2021, transforming the Covid-19 emergency into an opportunity to reorganize its financial structure

Fixed assets are fully covered by equity and non-current liabilities

Fiera Milano can rely on an adequate stock of liquidity to be used at all the time, also taking into account the existing current financial liabilities and further EUR 50m which Fiera Milano could potentially use as shortterm loans. Such comfortable liquidity position will not be affected by exhibitions operative cash dynamics
