Mrs. Raffaella Orsero, Group CEO, commented: "The 2019 financial year was characterized by the implementation of important operational and strategic investments that lay the basis for the Group's future growth, even though the profitability performances were not up to our expectations and to the Group's potential. The current Italian and European health situation poses uncertainty for everyone on the regular conduct of business activities for the current year; however, we are currently keeping our targets unchanged, focusing on the ability of our company, our business model and our people to cope with the emergency".

CONSOLIDATED P&L DATA SUMMARY AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2019

Net Sales, equal to approximately €1,005.7 million, show an increase of 5.6% compared to the net sales at 31 December 2018 equal to €952.8 million. The improvement is essentially linked to the steady and robust growth of the Distribution sector driven by the positive performance of Italian and Spanish companies as well as by the contribution of recent acquisitions. It is reported also a growth in the Import & Shipping sector.

The Adjusted EBITDA, equal to €38.7 million shows an increase of €5.8 million compared to €32.9 million of the previous year. This increase is due to the €2.0 million improvement in the "Import and Shipping" Business Unit, in particular thanks to the good performance of the maritime transport activity, and to the adoption of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 since the beginning of financial year 2019 impacted for €9.8 million, only partially offset by the reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA of the Distribution Business Unit essentially for activities carried out in France.

The Adjusted EBIT of €13.0 million, reports a reduction of €4.5 million compared to 31 December 2018 related substantially to the lower performance of the Distribution Business Unit , while the advantage of the IFRS16 adoption on the Adjusted EBITDA is reduced as a result of increased depreciation due to the rightof-use registration.

The Adjusted Net Result⁵ stands at €5.3 million compared to €11.8 million at 31 December 2018, showing a reduction of € 6.5 million related to the drop of profitability and higher depreciation.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET DATA SUMMARY AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2019

Total Net Equity, equal to approximately €150.9 million, is slightly higher than Net Equity as at 31 December 2018 equal to €150.2 million.

The Net Financial Position without IFRS 16 is €66.9 million, or €126.9 million also including € 60 million due to the adoption of the IFRS 16 accounting principle, compared to € 36.1 million as of 31 December 2018. The increase, equal to €30.8 million, is due to: €25.3 million for investments in tangible and intangible assets, €17 million for the acquisitions of Sevimpor, Fruttica Group and Fruttital Cagliari made in 2019, and €2.0 million for the distribution of dividends, amounts partially offset by the positive cash flow from operations of € 13.5 million.

⁵ I.e. the profit calculated net of non-recurring items (totalling € -3 million in 2019 and € -3.8 million in 2018), net of estimated tax effect.

⁶ The positive effect of IFRS 16 on Adjusted EBITDA totals € 9.8 million, divided into approximately € 6.2 million for the Distribution Business Unit , approximately € 3.3 million for the Import & Shipping Business Unit and approximately € 0.3 million for the Services Business Unit .

The Distribution sector achieved net sales of € 927.7 million, reporting an increase of € 58.6 million compared to the figures as at 31 December 2018. The Adjusted EBITDA is € 32.2 million compared to € 31.1 million of the previous year. The increase in sales includes the positive contribution of the newly acquired companies and the higher turnover of the companies operating in Italy, Spain and Mexico is opposed by the decrease in sales in France.

In terms of Adjusted Ebitda, the positive effect of the new accounting standard IFRS 16 balances the reduction in operating profitability linked to activities in France and the negative climatic trend of the second quarter of the year in Italy, combined with an increase in operating expenses, partly linked to the start-up costs of the "fresh-cut" business in Italy and of the new distributing platform in Sevilla, Spain, as well as the strengthening of the commercial structure.

The Import & Shipping sector generated net revenues of approximately € 214.7 million, highlighting an increase of € 4.1 million compared to 31 December 2018, which, as already highlighted, is linked to the positive trend of maritime transport activity, the result of a higher load factor of 94.2% and the transition of the travel schedule from 4 to 5 weeks which allowed fuel savings and efficiency improvements in loading operations on Central American ports, such as more than offset rental costs of the fifth ship. The income trend of the sector compared to 2018 marks a marked improvement in terms of Adjusted Ebitda, slightly less than €11 million, made possible both by the positive effect of the accounting standard IFRS 16 and by the recovery on fair margins of the shipping and only partially affected by the drop in the profitability of banana imports due to the tough market condition in Europe.

The Services sector achieved net revenues of €12.4 million, down on the previous year with a slight deterioration in the Adjusted Ebitda also linked to the promotion activities of new "convenience" products (fresh-cut).

This sector includes the activities relating to the Parent Company as well as the provision of services in the customs and IT sector carried out by some minor companies.

The result of the sector, at the Adjusted EBITDA level, typically shows a negative sign since, given the nature of the holding company of the Parent Company, the revenues and ultimately the result for the period are linked to the extent of the dividends received by the Group companies.

ORSERO S.P.A. SEPARATE FNANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2019

The separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS international accounting standards and are subject to auditing.

Orsero's annual financial statements at 31 December 2019 show a profit of € 1,496 thousand (€ 4,041 thousand at 31 December 2018), which does not include any cash or figurative costs relating to MBO and "Stock Grant" plan as the targets assigned to the management have not been achieved for the financial year.

Orsero's Net Equity is equal to € 142.7 million compared to € 161.7 million in 2018. The change in Shareholders' Equity between 2018 and 2019 derives essentially from the incorporation of the two subholding companies GF Distribuzione and GF Porterm carried out in 2019, for which the respective carrying values in Orsero were higher than the respective Net Assets. The net effect on the separate financial statements was € 18,221 thousand, while the effect is totally neutral in the consolidated financial statements.

Over the decades, the Orsero Group has expanded its business both in terms of area covered, which today includes Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Costa Rica and Colombia, and in terms of product categories and sectors, according to a model known as vertical integration. Along with the distribution of fresh produce, the Orsero Group's business model also includes the import of bananas and pineapples using its own ships owned, as well as the production of fruit. In 2012, the Orsero Group launched the brand "F.lli Orsero" for bananas and pineapples.
