Q3 and 9M 2019 TRADING UPDATE

November 12, 2019

DISCLAIMER

This presentation may contain forward looking statements based on current expectations and projects of the Group in relation to future events. Due to their specific nature, these statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, as they depend on certain circumstances and facts, most of which being beyond the control of the Group. Therefore actual results could differ, even to a significant extent, with respect to those reported in the statements.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONTINUING OPERATIONS

  • 1 July, 2019: closing of the transaction to sell Solstice retail operations
  • 2019 Group results are commented on a pre-IFRS 16 basis in order to support the transition and to allow proper comparison with the previous periods

The Group elected to implement IFRS 16, applying the modified retrospective approach, whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard has been recognized at its relevant effective date on January 1st 2019, without the restatement of 2018 comparative information.

IFRS 16 impact on 9M 2019 results
