(a) Net operating working capital is not an accounting measurement under the IFRSs endorsed by the European Union. The Company management has defined net operating working capital as the algebraic sum of inventories, trade receivables and trade payables.
(b) Other current assets/liabilities are calculated as the difference between current assets, current tax receivables, current tax payables and other current liabilities.

Servizi Italia Group recorded a consolidated turnover amounting to Euro 57,240 thousand. The contribution to turnover, amounting to Euro 1,054 thousand, of the new consolidated Brazilian company Aqualav Higienização De Serviços Ltda and the increase in turnover on the surgical instrument sterilization line (Euro 569 thousand) have contained the reduction in revenues to 1.5%, compared to the same period last year. The turnover in the Brazilian area is mostly affected by seasonality and a loss in value of Real average exchange rate, compared to the average rate in the first quarter of 2015, of approximately 33.6% (at constant exchange rates the increase revenues would have been Euro 1,863 thousand); while the Italian area, on wash-hire and linen sterilization lines, has been affected by the renegotiation of existing contracts for the application of the spending review and the conclusion of the contractual relationship with some customers.
Consolidated EBITDA passed from Euro 16,168 thousand of the first quarter 2015 to Euro 16,504 thousand of the first quarter 2016, recording an increase of 2.1% determined by a reduction in costs of raw materials, industrial services, utilities, maintenance and administrative costs. Moreover it should be noted a reduction in absolute terms by 2.1% in personnel costs, primarily on the Brazilian area, due to the resizing of the workforce, connected to lower volumes treated in the period. Even in terms of relative incidence, EBITDA is rising from 27.8% in the first quarter of 2015 to 28.8% in the first quarter of 2016.
The consolidated operating profit (EBIT) passed from Euro 5,409 thousand to Euro 5,206 thousand after recognising depreciation and amortisation of Euro 11,298 thousand, with a reduction of 3.8%, while – in relative terms – EBIT margin remains substantially in line with the compared quarter.
In the quarters under comparison, in 2016 it is detected an increase of 1.2% in the incidence of depreciation and amortization on revenues. This increase has been determined in the Brazilian area by the increase of the amortization for linen and new production lines, while in the Italian area by the increase of the amortization for surgical instruments, for investments made for construction and installation works connected to contracts and linens for new customers' supplies. Among Parent Company's amortization of intangible assets, it is also to note the effect of recording the non-competition agreement signed with the former CEO.
Profit before taxes rose from Euro 4,436 thousand to Euro 4,808 thousand, increasing by 8.4% in absolute value. Financial management showed a reduction of the relative load of net financial expenses compared to the same period of the previous year: in absolute value by 59.1%, amounting to 0.7% of turnover (1.7% on 2015 turnover), following the reduction of rates charged on loans.
Therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2016 close with net profit of Euro 3,673 thousand, recording an increase of 18.1% compared to Euro 3,111 thousand in the first quarter of 2015, also thanks to the decrease of the incidence of the tax rate passing from 29.9% in the first quarter of 2015 to 23.6% in the first quarter of 2016.
On 29 February 2016, a binding agreement was entered into for the acquisition of 100.0% of a newly incorporated company to be named "Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l.", to which the operational business unit of the company Tintoria Lombarda di Fasoli Aldo S.p.A., one of the main Italian linen wash-hire companies for healthcare facilities, will be transferred. The finalisation of this transaction, whose closing is planned by the end of June 2016, is subject to a series of precedent conditions, including the completion of the union communication and consultation procedure regarding the contribution and the acquisition of consent from certain commissioning bodies for wash-hire contracts. Pursuant to Italian Antitrust Authority communication dated 5 August 2013 and the amendments made to Art. 16 of Italian Law No. 287/90 and Italian Decree Law 1/2012, this acquisition did not trigger the obligation to notify the Antitrust Authority; on the basis of Art. 71 of the Issuers' Regulations, this acquisition is "not significant" considering the parameters set forth in applicable law. For more information, please refer to the press release available on Company's website.
On 14 March 2016, the Board of Directors called an extraordinary meeting with the following item on the agenda: the exercise of the mandate granted by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 26 September 2014 pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code to carry out a divisible share capital increase against payment for an overall maximum amount of Euro 4,000,000.00, inclusive of any share premium, with the exclusion of the purchase option as per Article 2441, paragraph 4, second section of the Italian Civil Code, reserved for Steris UK Holding Limited, by means of the issue of up to 1,150,000 new ordinary shares with a par value of Euro 1 each, with the same characteristics as those outstanding. For further information, please refer to the documentation concerning the shareholders' meeting of 26 September 2014, the "Lock-up" shareholders' agreement and the press releases of 26 September and 6 October 2014 and subsequent communications available on Company website.

On 6 April, Servizi Italia S.p.A. informed about the new composition of its share capital, following the increase of the equity shares of STERIS Corporation (through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary STERIS UK Holding Limited) in the shareholding structure of Servizi Italia through a Delegated Capital Increase for a total amount of Euro 3,999,996.56 (share premium included), with exclusion of the right of option pursuant to Art. 2441, paragraph 4, second period of the Italian Civil Code, reserved to STERIS UK Holding Limited, through the issuing of 1,110,185 Company's ordinary shares at the issue price of Euro 3.6030. No treasury shares have been transferred for the Delegated Capital Increase. As of today, Steris UK Holding Limited holds the 5.9% of Servizi Italia's share capital. The certificate of exercise of the share capital increase was filed at the Parma Register of Business on 5 April 2016.
On 20 April, the Shareholders Meeting approved the financial statements as at 31 December 2015 and the distribution of a gross dividend of Euro 0.15 per share outstanding on the coupon date, excluding treasury shares. Payment took place on 27 April 2016, with a coupon payment on 25 April 2016.
The Shareholders' Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and sell treasury shares, subject to revocation of the resolution of 22 April 2015.
The Shareholders' Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and sell treasury shares. The plan responds to the need to gain access to opportunities for the efficient investment of company liquidity and to have the possibility of using it for strategic transactions and/or to complete subsequent share purchase and sale transactions, to the extent allowed by permitted market practices. The authorisation is for a maximum number of Servizi Italia S.p.A. ordinary shares equating to 20% of the share capital, taking into account the treasury shares already held, for a period of 18 months as of the shareholders' meeting resolution. The purchase transactions will be carried out on the market at a price of up to 20% more or less than the weighted average official prices in the 3 days preceding the individual transaction.
The extraordinary meeting has also approved the amendments to art. 2 of Company's Articles of Association regarding "corporate purposes". These amendments are aimed at articulating and better specify the corporate purpose activities, actually adjusting them to current market conditions in which the Company operates. The modifications neither result in any change in company activity, which remains substantially unchanged in its scope, nor entail possible changes in entrepreneurial risk and/or advisability. Therefore they do not give shareholders the possibility to exercise the right of withdrawal provided under current regulations.
The Board of Directors, which took place on 20 April 2016, resolved to launch the programme for the purchase and sale of treasury shares, in accordance with the resolution adopted by the ordinary shareholders´ meeting.
On 4 May, the Company announced that, pursuant to article 131 of CONSOB Regulation nr. 11971/1999 and following amendments – the shareholders' agreements contained in the Lock-up documents signed on 4 August 2014 between Servizi ITALIA S.p.A., STERIS Corporation and Steris UK Holding Limited and taking into consideration no. 1,877,607 ordinary shares, equal to 5.90% of Servizi Italia's share capital, are now ceased with no need of amendments or other integrations.
The results achieved in the first quarter of 2016 confirm the estimates and income statement and cash flow projections set forth in the plan. For the year 2016, the Group foresees results that take into consideration the commitment to consolidate the investments in the countries in which it operates, the consolidation of Group's organizational structure; as well as the achievement of significant operating efficiency targets in order to maintain and improve the levels of margins and profitability of the business.
The Company shares have been traded on the STAR segment of the Borsa Italiana S.p.A. electronic stock market since 22 June 2009.

This Interim Report is approved by the Board of Directors on 12 May 2016.
The revenue from sales and services of the Servizi Italia Group is shown below divided by business line for the periods ending 31 March 2016 and 2015.
| (thousands of Euros) | 31 March 2016 | % | 31 March 2015 | % | Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wash-hire | 42,827 | 74.8% | 43,912 | 75.6% | -2.5% |
| Linen sterilisation (STERIL B) | 4,707 | 8.2% | 5,049 | 8.7% | -6.8% |
| Surgical instrument sterilisation (STERIL C) | 9,706 | 17.0% | 9,137 | 15.7% | 6.2% |
| Revenues from sales | 57,240 | 100.0% | 58,098 | 100.0% | -1.5% |
Revenues from wash-hire services decreased from Euro 43,912 thousand in the first quarter of 2015 to Euro 42,827 thousand in the first quarter 2016. In relative terms, comparing the data to total sales and service revenues, wash-hire as at 31 March 2016 amounted to 74.8%, broadly in line with the same period of the previous year (75.6% as at 31 March 2015). The loss of value of the average exchange rate of the Real in the first quarter 2016, compared to the average in the same period of 2015, significantly impacted the turnover of the wash-hire line. The wash-hire turnover is positively affected by revenues coming from new contracts, i.e. Circolo Hospital of Busto Arsizio, Hospital Fatebenefratelli and Ophthalmic, European Institute of Oncology S.r.l, Monzino Cardiology Centre S.p.A. and Pessina Gestioni S.r.l. for the Hospital of Garbagnate, from other existing orders (such as Piacenza Local Health Unit) and from the increase in revenues coming from the Brazilian area, thanks to the consolidation of Aqualav Higienização De Serviços Ltda. It is also worth to note the end of some wash-hire contracts in the period, i.e. Roma C LHU and the Specialization Clinical Institutes.
Revenue from linen sterilisation recorded a decrease by 6.8%, amounting to Euro 4,707 thousand, with an incidence of 8.2% on total turnover. This decrease in revenue was caused by the end of contract with Legnano Hospital and the Specialization Clinical Institutes, as well as by the decrease in turnover from some other customers.
The turnover from the surgical instrument sterilization recorded a growth equal to 6.2% compared to the same period in 2015. This increase is mainly attributable to the gradual increase in turnover from customers such as the Spedali Civili di Brescia Hospital, Meyer University Hospital and Careggi Hospital in Florence.

| Others | 403 | 399 |
| Total | 9,535 | 8,067 |
Financial receivables relate to active loans granted to the companies mentioned above and due within next year or repayable on demand and to the down payment deposited in an escrow account paid for the purchase of the participation of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l. The increase of active loans compared to 31 December 2015 is due to accrued interests on single loans and not yet collected.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2016 | as at 31 December 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Due from others | 12,297 | 8,205 |
| Prepayments | 1,752 | 831 |
| Guarantee deposits receivable | 118 | 156 |
| Accrued income | 47 | 49 |
| Total | 14,214 | 9,241 |
Other current assets passed from Euro 9,241 thousand as at 31 December 2015 to Euro 14,214 thousand as at 31 March 2016. The item includes guarantee deposits relating to energy utilities and rentals. Receivables due from others increased since 31 December 2015 due to the increase in the receivable of the subsidiaries Se.Sa.Tre. S.c.r.l. and San Martino 2000 S.c.r.l. due from the consortium Servizi Ospedalieri S.p.A. and because of the increase of VAT credit. Prepayments increased primarily as a result of rentals and insurance premiums that were recognised at the beginning of the year.
This item decreased by Euro 2,394 thousand compared to 31 December 2015. This decrease was mainly associated with the use of cash in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda to finance group growth in Brazil.
As at 31 March 2016, shareholders' equity totalled Euro 126,845 thousand (including Euro 398 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) compared to Euro 122,094 thousand (including Euro 379 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests) as at 31 December 2015.
The Company held 285,391 treasury shares, equivalent to approximately 0.93% of the share capital, as at 31 March 2016. The value of treasury shares was Euro 1,208 thousand. Their nominal amount, of Euro 285 thousand, was classified as a decrease to share capital, and the value exceeding the nominal amount, totalling Euro 923 thousand, was recognised as a reduction in the share premium reserve.
Non-current payables to banks and other lenders increased from Euro 36,111 thousand as at 31 December 2015 to Euro 38,211 thousand in the first quarter of 2016. This difference of Euro 2,100 thousand resulted from the subscription on 28 January of a new 3-year Euro 7,000 thousand loan taken out from Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna soc. Coop. and the repayment of loan instalments falling due in the period.
Current payables to banks and other lenders decreased by Euro 2,147 thousand from Euro 46,191 thousand as at 31 December 2015 to Euro 44,044 thousand in the first quarter of 2016. This decrease resulted from a precise financial policy enacted by the group in order to maintain a proper balance between short-term lines and medium-term lines.
Trade payables increased from Euro 65,429 thousand as at 31 December 2015 to Euro 67,065 thousand as at 31 March 2016 due to payment extensions obtained from the main suppliers.
The table below provides a breakdown of other current liabilities.
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2016 | as at 31 December 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Accrued liabilities | 82 | 18 |
| Deferred income | 892 | 800 |
| Due to social security and welfare institutions | 3,792 | 5,115 |
| Other payables | 11,721 | 11,908 |
| Total | 16,487 | 17,841 |
The item decreased by Euro 1,354 thousand from Euro 17,841 thousand as at 31 December 2015 to Euro 16,487 thousand as at 31 March 2016. This difference was caused by the decrease in amounts due to social security and welfare institutions.
Acquisitions of raw materials and consumables decreased, passing from Euro 6,158 thousand at 31 March 2015 to Euro 5,827 thousand at 31 March 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a minor acquisition of disposable items and procedure kits.
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2016 | as at 31 March 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| External laundering and other industrial services | (4,726) | (4,945) |
| Travel and transport | (2,998) | (3,031) |
| Utilities | (3,056) | (3,124) |

| Other services | (266) | (273) |
| Total | (17,348) | (18,245) |
Costs for external laundering and other industrial services decreased from Euro 4,945 thousand as at 31 March 2015 to Euro 4,726 thousand as at 31 March 2016. The decrease in this item was essentially due to a decrease in the use of the external laundry service and surgical instruments sterilization service by third parties, partly offset by the increased wardrobe service to customers such as European Institute of Onchology S.r.l., Monzino Cardiology Centre S.p.A. and Busto Arsizio Circolo Hospital, whose contracts started during 2015.
Utilities costs recorded a decrease, from Euro 3,124 thousand as at 31 March 2015 to Euro 3,056 thousand as at 31 March 2016. This decrease is due to a reduction of gas costs, thanks to a renegotiation of prices, and to a consumption containment that was possible thanks to wider productive efficiencies.
Administrative costs decreased from Euro 755 thousand as at 31 March 2015 to Euro 520 thousand as at 31 March 2016 due basically to higher expenses in 2015 incurred by SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda for the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the company Lavsim Higienização Têxtil S.A.
Consortium and sales costs decreased from Euro 2,159 thousand as at 31 March 2015 to Euro 2,006 thousand as at 31 March 2016. This item was down primarily due to lower charge-backs of costs received for the temporary joint consortia working with the customers LHA TO 4 of Ivrea and Desio e Vimercate Hospital.
Maintenance costs decreased by Euro 178 thousand due to minor maintenance expenses, particularly in
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2016 | as at 31 March 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Costs for directors´ fees | (365) | (253) |
| Salaries and wages | (12,664) | (12,951) |
| Temporary work | (326) | (369) |
| Social security charges | (3,994) | (4,321) |
| Employee severance indemnity | (711) | (594) |
| Other costs | (57) | (11) |
| Total | (18,117) | (18,499) |
Personnel expense decreased from Euro 18,499 thousand as at 31 March 2015 to Euro 18,117 thousand as at 31 March 2016. The downsizing of the workforce in Brazil, despite the consolidation of the company Aqualav Serviços de Higienização Ltda., had positive effects on the item, equal to Euro 295 thousand. In the Italian area, the redefinition of timings on some productive units and the restructuring of Servizi Italia Medical S.r.l. had positive effects too.
The table below shows the average breakdown of personnel:
| 31 March 2016 | 31 March 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Executives | 14 | 12 |
| Middle managers | 19 | 19 |
| White-collar staff | 192 | 179 |
| Blue-collar staff | 2,891 | 2,813 |
| Total | 3,116 | 3,023 |
The item is broken down as follows:
| (thousands of Euros) | as at 31 March 2016 | as at 31 March 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Amortisation of intangible assets | (326) | (213) |
| Depreciation of property, plant and equipment | (10,866) | (10,452) |
| Impairment of receivables | (106) | (94) |
| Total | (11,298) | (10,759) |
The variation in amortisation of intangible assets, equal to 53.1%, mainly refers to the effects of the accounting – starting from the second semester 2015 – of the non-competition agreement with former CEO, as well as to the impact of the amortization of customers' portfolio coming from the incorporated company Si.Gi. Servizi Ospedalieri S.r.l.
The increase in depreciation of plant and machinery, from Euro 10,452 thousand to Euro 10,866 thousand, is primarily due to the investments in linen, as a result of increased supply to new customers both in Italy and Brazil.
The increase of Euro 879 thousand in net financial debt as at 31 March 2016 compared to 31 December 2015 resulted from more payments made to suppliers.
In particular, examining the individual items, there was a decrease of Euro 2,394 thousand in cash and cash equivalents in current accounts at banks compared to 31 December 2015 essentially as a result of the decrease in liquidity in the BNP Paribas account of the Brazilian subsidiary SRI Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda, which has been used to finance group growth in Brazil.
Financial receivables recorded an increase equal to Euro 1,468 thousand with respect to 31 December 2015 and this is mainly due to the payment of a deposit of Euro 1,420 in an escrow account as part of the determined price for the acquisition of Tintoria Lombarda Divisione Sanitaria S.r.l., whose closing is scheduled within June 2016 and submitted to various conditions.
Current payables to banks and other lenders recorded a decrease of Euro 2,147 thousand, while non-current payables to banks and other lenders recorded an increase of Euro 2,100 thousand as a result of a subscription, on 28 January 2016, of a new 3-year Euro 7,000 loan taken out from Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna soc. Coop.
