CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT AT 31 DECEMBER 2018
Total revenues as at 31 December 2018 amounted to € 20.4 million, up 6% compared to the figures for the previous year. The weight of revenues from rentals is reduced to 77% of total consolidated revenues compared to 91% in the previous year, following the sale of a property located in Milan.
Gross rental income amounts to € 15.7 million compared to € 17.4 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease of € 1.7 million is due to lower rents on some properties subject to redevelopment, therefore vacant during 2018 (€ 0.6 million), and lower rents on a property sold during 2018 (€ 1 million) and lower rents on the building in Via Veneziani (€ 0.4 million), only partially offset by higher revenues in the Serravalle Retail Park (acquired in May 2017).
The property sales margin of € 2.7 million includes proceeds from sales of real estate investments for € 2.3 million (€ 0.8 million in 2017), and property inventories totaling € 0.4 million (none in 2017).
Direct external costs amounted to € 7.0 million at 31 December 2018, compared to € 6.3 million at 31 December 2017, an increase of € 0.7 million, mainly attributable to higher property taxes as a result of the growth of real estate assets that took place after the first quarter of 2017 (purchase of Serravalle Retail Park in May 2017 and purchase of two office towers in Milan in Viale Richard in December 2017), in addition to the losses for vacant and non-chargeable costs attributable to the properties waiting for the conclusion of

The Net Operating Income of € 13.4 million improved by € 0.5 million compared to € 12.9 million at December 31, 2017.
The cost of direct personnel as at 31 December 2018 increased compared to 31 December 2017, as a result of the strengthening of the organizational structure following the expansion of the rental portfolio and the pipeline for the construction of properties for rent. The item direct internal capitalized costs at 31 December 2018 mainly relates to the capitalization of management costs relating to the design and construction of Phase C of Serravalle Retail Park not present in the previous year.
General expenses amounted to € 10.1 million compared to € 10.9 million at December 31, 2017, down €
0.8million. The reduction in the cost of head office staff and overheads is mainly attributable to lower variable fees, in addition to € 0.3 million of net income generated by the release of the accounting effects of the normalization of the rent of the previous registered office. The increase in structural consultancy is attributable to the costs of the listing transaction for € 0.9 million.
The EBITDA, following the items listed above, is positive for about € 2 million and up by about € 0.9 million compared to December 31, 2017.
In 2018, real estate investments recorded positive fair value adjustments of € 12.2 million, compared to a positive € 20.9 million in the previous year.
The adjustments to the fair value of the 2018 financial year are mainly due to the revaluation of some commercial buildings following the signing of new company rental and lease contracts, of the development area located in the municipality of Caselle, of the Milan office buildings located in Via Richard, and of some areas destined for development previously classified among the inventories.
Amortization, depreciation, provisions and other non-real estate write-downsat 31 December 2018 amounted to € 1.7 million (essentially nothing in 2017).
The Item Income / (Charges) from associates as at 31 December 2018 shows a positive balance of € 3.5 million (€ 0.6 million of positive balance as at 31 December 2017) mainly attributable to the adjustment to higher market values of the assets held by the same investments, in line with the policies adopted by the Group.
The EBIT is positive for € 16 million, compared to € 21.2 million in 2017; this change is essentially linked to lower fair value adjustments made in 2018.
Financial charges net of financial income and the effects of adjusting the fair value of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk, are equal to € 7.5 million in charges (€ 5.3 million in 2017) as a result of the higher average financial debt, despite the year-end reduction.
The item is mainly composed of:
−financial income: € +0.5 million, (€ +0.8 million in 2017);
−financial charges: € -8 million (€ -6.2 million in 2017); the increase is a consequence of the increase in securities debt (bonds issued in April and December 2017);
−fair value adjustment of derivative instruments: essentially zero (€ +0.1 million in 2017).
The Group net result in 2018 shows a profit of € 9.0 million compared to € 15.4 million, this reduction
2
compared to the previous year is attributable, as already mentioned, essentially to lower fair value adjustments of real estate investments.
