The information in this presentation could include forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties (including those on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and from the restrictive measures taken to face it) and assumptions about the Company and its subsidiaries and investments; including, among other things, the development of its business, trends in its operating industry, and future capital expenditures and acquisitions. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events in the forward-looking statements may not occur. No one undertakes to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements.

The Group's business is also correlated to tourism flows. Q1 and Q4 represent the low point of the business year, whereby Q2 and Q3 the peak of the seasonality. Therefore quarterly sales, operating results, trade net working capital and net financial indebtedness are impacted by the seasonality and may not be directly compared or extrapolated to obtain forecasts of year-end results.

  • Thanks to the robust performance in 2Q (including 16.0€m from Verrini), at the end of the first six months Sales grew in all segments compared to 1H 2020 and were driven by the Street Market segment
  • With the recovery of Market conditions the €/kg of Street Market and National Account clients in the last part of the 1H reverted to pre-pandemic levels
  • In particular the €/kg of June 2021 passed that of June 2020 with a pure Inflation component still small but expected to be higher in the coming months
    • Starting from 2021 some reclassifications were made between client segments, in particular some structured customers were reclassified from the Street Market to the National Account, consequently the 2020 data of sales by client segments were revised for comparison with 2021
