Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31December 2017, operating profitability will be calculated as EBITDA therefore the figures in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31march 2018, that shows a figure for gross operating profit, have been restated to reflect this change. The figures for 2017 reflect the application of the new standard IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018.

In the first quarter 2018, the Fiera Milano Group had significantly higher results than for the same period of 2017. This improvement was primarily due to the good performance from annual exhibitions together with the more favourable exhibition calendar and to a positive impact from cost reductions following the restructuring implemented in the 2017 financial year.

On 19 February 2018, Fiera Milano SpA, in order to strengthen the capital of the Brazilian subsidiary Eurofairs International Consultoria e Participações Ltda, approved a capital contribution of Euro 0.800 million.

The business of the Group is seasonal due to the biennial exhibitions. Given this seasonality, the revenues and results of a single quarter may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

The figures for the first quarter 2018 showed the following main trends:

Revenues from sales and services totalled Euro 77.254 million compared to the figure for the first quarter of the preceding financial year (Euro 62.067 million).

The main changes in the quarter were as follows:

annual exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (+14,160 square metres): the increase reflected the presence of Bit (+16,280 square metres), which previously was held in the month of April, and the annual international exhibition for promotional articles, Promotion Trade Exhibition (+550 square metres); these increases were, in part, offset by a fall in demand for exhibition space at HOMI I semester (-2,670 square metres);
annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (+33,150 square metres): the increase was mainly due to the presence in the quarter under review of Tempo di Libri (+13,170 square metres), the previous edition of which was held in April, and increases in demand for exhibition space at My Plant & Garden (+8,330 square metres) and Cartoomics (+3,970 square metres);
biennial exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (-56,765 square metres): the decrease reflected the absence of Transpotec Logitec, an exhibition held in unevennumbered years;
biennial exhibitions organised by third-parties in Italy (+64,655 square metres): this increase was due to the presence of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, the biennial exhibition held in even-numbered years (+114,200 square metres), in part, offset by the absence of Made Expo, the biennial exhibition held in uneven-numbered years, (-52,515 square metres);
congresses with related exhibition space: these showed an increase of +6,715 square metres;
annual exhibitions organised by the Group abroad (+12,945 square metres): the increase mainly reflected the Chinese exhibition Chinafloor Domotex Shanghai.

The table below summarises the net square metres of exhibition space occupied by the various Fiera Milano Group exhibitions and congresses with related exhibition space.

EBITDA in the quarter was Euro 19.704 million, an increase of Euro 11.611 million compared to the figure for the same period of 2017 (Euro 8.093 million). 2018 EBITDA reflected the trend in revenues and the positive impact of lower costs following the restructuring implemented in the 2017 financial year. This was, in part, offset by higher personnel costs due to the variable element of remuneration.
EBIT in the quarter was Euro 18.210 million compared to Euro 6.375 million in the first quarter of 2017. The improvement of Euro 11.835 million was due to the aforementioned increase in EBITDA.
The profit before taxes was Euro 18.076 million compared to Euro 6.168 million in the first quarter of 2017. The profit before taxes attributable to the controlling shareholder was Euro 18.188 million (Euro 6.246 million in first quarter 2017) and the loss before taxes attributable to non-controlling interests was Euro 0.112 million (a loss before taxes of Euro 0.078 million in first quarter 2017).
Cash flow in the quarter (calculated as the pre-tax result plus depreciation, amortisation, provisions and impairment) was Euro 19.680 million compared to Euro 8.612 million in the same quarter of the preceding financial year.

The increase of Euro 21.388 million in net cash reflected the positive operating cash flow generated in the period under review and advance payments for the exhibition calendar that, in coming months, includes some important exhibitions. This increase was partly offset by the advance payment of the six-monthly rental charge for the two exhibition sites.

Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2017, operating profitability will be calculated as EBITDA therefore the figures in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 march 2018, that shows a figure for gross operating profit, have been restated to reflect this change. The figures for 2017 reflect the application of the new standard IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018.

Revenues from sales and services before elimination of transactions among the five business segments of the Group were Euro 91.920 million, an increase of Euro 18.526 million compared to the figure of Euro 73.394 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Revenues from Italian Exhibitions totalled Euro 68.853 million in the first quarter 2018, an increase of approximately 25% compared to the figure for the same period of the preceding financial year (Euro 54.910 million). The increase in revenues mainly reflected the more favourable exhibition calendar with the presence of the important biennial exhibition held in even-numbered years, Mostra Convegno Expocomfort. This was, in part, offset by the absence of the biennial exhibitions, Made Expo and Transpotec Logitec, held in unevennumbered years. There was also a strong performance from annual exhibitions due to higher demand for both exhibition space and services linked to the exhibitions.
Revenues from Foreign Exhibitions totalled Euro 0.914 million in the first quarter compared to Euro 0.518 million in the same quarter of the previous financial year. The increase was mainly due to higher demand for exhibition space at the Cape Town Art Fair.
Revenues from Stand-fitting Services were Euro 12.691 million in the first quarter, an increase of approximately 29% compared to the first quarter figure of the previous financial year (Euro 9.811 million). The increase primarily reflected the more favourable exhibition calendar.
Revenues in the Media segment totalled Euro 2.942 million in the first quarter, an increase of approximately 19% compared to the figure of the first quarter 2017 (Euro 2.472 million). The increase was mainly due to billboard advertising for Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, the biennial exhibition held in even-numbered years, and to higher sponsorship revenues.
Revenues from Congresses totalled Euro 6.520 million in the first quarter compared to Euro 5.683 million in the same period of 2017. The increase was largely due to the destination management services provided to the exhibition Bit.

Group EBITDA was Euro 19.704 million, an increase of Euro 11.611 million compared to the figure for the first quarter of 2017 (Euro 8.093 million ). The breakdown was as follows:

Italian Exhibitions had EBITDA of Euro 16.829 million compared to Euro 7.359 million in the same period of the previous financial year. The increase is linked to the higher revenues generated in this segment and the positive impact of lower costs following the restructuring implemented during 2017. This was, in part, offset by higher personnel expenses due to the variable part of remuneration.
Foreign exhibitions generated EBITDA of Euro 1.827 million, an improvement on the figure for the same quarter of the previous financial year (Euro 0.856 million). The increase primarily reflected the trend in revenues and also other income received for damages paid to the Brazilian company Eurofairs following the settlement of a legal dispute.
Stand-fitting services had EBITDA of Euro 1.324 million compared to EBITDA of Euro 0.561 million in the same period of the previous financial year. The year-on-year increase in the quarter was primarily due to the aforementioned trend in revenues.
Media had EBITDA of Euro 0.081 million compared to a loss of Euro 0.279 million in the first quarter of 2017. The year-on-year increase in the quarter was primarily due to the aforementioned trend in revenues.
Congresses had negative EBITDA of Euro 0.357 million, in line with the EBITDA loss of Euro 0.404 million in the same quarter of 2017.

The EBIT of the five operating segments totalled Euro 18.210 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to Euro 6.375 million in the same period of the previous financial year, and reflected the trends in EBITDA of the five segments.

The breakdown by geographic area in the first quarter showed revenues from foreign activities of Euro 0.914 million, an increase of approximately 76% compared to the figure for the same quarter of the previous financial year (Euro 0.518 million). EBITDA was Euro 1.827 million, a year-on-year increase of Euro 0.979 million.

EBIT was Euro 1.709 million compared to the figure for the same quarter of the previous financial year (Euro 0.705 million).

During the quarter under review, seventeen exhibitions and eight events for congresses with related exhibition space were held in the two sites of fieramilano and fieramilanocity.

There was a net decrease of seven permanent employees compared to the figure at 31 December 2017, mainly due to the restructuring of the Brazilian and South African companies.

Significant events after the end of the reporting period

On 20 April 2018, Borsa Italiana SpA, with deliberation no. 8450, readmitted the ordinary shares of Fiera Milano SpA to the STAR segment (Equity Segment with High Performance Requirements - Segmento Titoli ad Alti Requisiti) to be traded in this segment of the Italian stock market (Mercato Telematico Azionario - MTA). Trading of the shares in the STAR segment recommenced on 30 April 2018.

On 23 April 2018, the Parent Company Ordinary Meeting of Shareholders was held. It approved the Financial Statements at 31 December 2017 and also approved covering the losses for the period of Euro 863,987.03 by using the share premium reserve. It also appointed the Board of Statutory Auditors for the 2018-2020 financial years and decided its remuneration, as well as approving Section One of the Report on Remuneration as required under Article 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98. The same Shareholders' Meeting also approved the Performance Share Plan 2018-2019 pursuant to Article 114-bis of Legislative Decree 58/98 and authorised the Board of Directors to buyback and dispose of treasury shares.

Business outlook

The positive business trend has also been confirmed by the exhibitions held after the end of the first quarter. In particular, the Salone del Mobile had a new record edition.

Following the good performance of the exhibitions in the first quarter, 2018 EBITDA is expected to be in the upper part of the previously stated range of Euro 15-17 million; this is higher than the figure for the previous financial year and will be achieved also through the cost restructuring and despite the less favourable exhibition calendar in Italy in the absence of some important directly organised biennial exhibitions.

Accounting criteria

The Consolidated Interim Management Report of the Fiera Milano Group has been prepared in accordance with Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and with the Listing Rules issued by Consob regulation no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 and subsequent amendments and integrations.

______________________________________________________________________________

The financial, economic and capital data have been prepared in compliance with the disclosure and valuation requirements of the International Accounting Standards IAS/IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union.

The valuation criteria used to prepare the Financial Statements for the first quarter 2018 are the same as those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements for the full-year 2017, with the addition of the accounting standards endorsed by the European Union and applicable from 1 January 2018, to which reference should be made.

The application of IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective from 1 January 2018, resulted in disclosure changes to certain items of revenue for catering and insurance service contracts, which are now shown net of directly related costs. The comparative data for the first quarter of 2017 was restated for the retrospective application of IFRS 15 giving a figure that was Euro 3.329 million lower than the original figure. However, there was no impact on EBITDA or on the result for the period. It also had no effect on the opening figure for equity at 1 January 2018 as only items within the Income Statement needed to be restated.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting situation at 31 March 2018 as approved by the Boards of Directors of the companies included in the area of consolidation and prepared by Group companies within the area of consolidation. As regards comparable data, it should be noted that in preparing the Consolidated Interim Management Report at 31 March 2018 the tax charge has not been calculated, as permitted under Consob Regulations.

It should also be noted that the methodologies used for estimates in the preparation of the Consolidated Interim Management Report at 31 March 2018 are the same as those normally used to prepare the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

The list of companies included in the area of consolidation at 31 March 2018 is given in Attachment 1.

The Consolidated Interim Management Report at 31 March 2018 has not been subject to legal audit.

Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2017, operating profitability will be calculated as EBITDA therefore the figures in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 march 2018, that shows a figure for gross operating profit, have been restated to reflect this change. The figures for 2017 reflect the application of the new standard IFRS 15 from 1 January 2018.

Comments on the capital and financial position

Non-current assets totalled Euro 151.898 million at 31 March 2018, compared to Euro 151.537 million at 31 December 2017. The Euro 0.361 million increase was due to the net effect of investments of Euro 0.478 million, depreciation and amortisation of Euro 1.493 million, exchange rate losses of Euro 0.062 million, an increase in equity accounted investments of Euro 1.593 million and other negative movements of Euro 0.155 million.

Negative net working capital moved from Euro 74.269 million at 31 December 2017 to Euro 77.908 million at 31 March 2018.

The Euro 3.639 million change in this figure was due to the following:

(a) a Euro 22.316 million increase in current assets that primarily reflected an increase in trade and other receivables of Euro 21.836 million. This was mainly due to prepaid expenses in the Parent Company for the payment of the second quarter rental charge for the two exhibition sites made in January and to the trend in invoicing and cash-in for exhibitions held in the quarter under review;
(b) a Euro 25.955 million increase in current liabilities from the net effect of:
an increase in advance payments of Euro 19.891 million, which was the net of increases for advance payments from clients for exhibitions to be held in future quarters (in particular, the Salone del Mobile, Eurocucina, Plast, Xylexpo and Ipack-Ima) and a decrease in payments for exhibitions held in the first quarter 2018 (in particular, the January edition of Homi);
a Euro 7.619 million increase in provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities due primarily to higher payables to exhibition organisers and Group VAT payables.

At 31 March 2018, non-current liabilities totalled Euro 13.452 million compared to Euro 13.438 million at 31 December 2017.

Group equity at 31 March 2018 was Euro 80.680 million compared to Euro 62.471 million at 31 December 2017, an increase of Euro 18.209 million due to the following:

Euro 18.188 million for the profit before taxes of the period;
Euro 0.021 million of exchange rate gains.

Equity attributable to non-controlling interests was Euro 0.451 million at 31 March 2018 compared to Euro 0.564 million at 31 December 2017. The Euro 0.113 million decrease reflects:

a Euro 0.112 million decrease in the profit before taxes for the period;
Euro 0.001 million of other negative variations.

Information on the changes in financial assets and liabilities is given in the section on the financial position.
