• EBITDA and Net Income growth: EBITDA of €61.2M (+16.5%), Net Income of €26.1M (+34.3%)

Milan, 30 July 2015 - Maire Tecnimont S.p.A.’s Board of Directors has examined and approved the 6-month 2015 Consolidated Results.

All comparisons are 1H 2015 versus 1H 2014, unless otherwise specified.

Consolidated Financial Results as at 30 June 2015

Maire Tecnimont Group’s revenues were €700.2 million, compared to €756.5 million. This change is mainly due to the contraction in volumes of the Infrastructure & Civil Engineering BU, in line with the ongoing Group’s refocus on the core business. The Technology, Engineering and Construction BU also recorded a slight reduction in volumes, reflecting the evolution of the backlog caracterized by projects close to completion not yet replaced by recently awarded pojects, in respect of which an increase in volumes is planned for the next months.

Business Profit was €100.2 million, up 7.7%. The Business Margin was 14.3%, up 2.0pp. Such relevant increase in margins is due to the evolution of the Technology, Engineering & Construction BU projects, which are characterized by a different mix of contracts currently in execution as at 30 June 2015 vs. previous periods. Such a mix includes several EPC projects and a significant contribution from engineering and procurement services with higher margins but lower volumes.

G&A costs were €35.8 million, down €1.6 million.

EBITDA was €61.2 million (8.7% of revenues), up 16.5%, as a result of what already commented for the Business Profit.

Amortisation, depreciation, impairment and provisions were €4.1 million,up €0.6million.

EBIT was €57.1 million, up 16.5%.

Net financial charges were €18.1 million, showing an improvement of €0.7 million, mainly due to the reduction of the bank indebtedness and average cost following the refinancing in April 2015. This line includes also the “time value” of the derivative contracts hedging the exchange rate risk. Excluding this item, the net financial charges would have improved by €2.1 million.

Pre-tax income was positive for €39.1 million and tax provisions were €13.1 million. The effective tax rate is approximately 33.6%.

Group Net Income was €26.1 million, up 34.3%.

The Net Financial Position (“NFP”), i.e. net financial debt, was €229.6 million, a reduction of €135.4 million compared to €365.0 million as at 31 December 2014.  Such reduction was driven by the cash generated by the operations and the working capital as well as the disposal of certain non strategic assets.

Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity was positive for €117.7 million, up €24.2m vs. 31 December 2014. The variation is mainly due to the net income for the period.

Performance by Business Unit

Technology, Engineering & Construction

Revenues were €649.4 million, compared to €679.0 million, due to the progress made on projects in the backlog. Business Profit was €99.6 million, up 11.2%, leading to a Business Margin of 15.3% (up 2.1 pp). EBITDA was €63.4 million (9.8% of revenues), up 20.7%.

Infrastructure & Civil Engineering

Revenues were €50.8 million, down 34.5%. This change is mainly due to the fact that some projects are next to completion. Business Profit was €0.7 million, vs €3.6 million. Business Margin was 1.3% and consider about €2 million of costs incured for the intensive commercial activity abroad. EBITDA was minus €2.2 million vs. a slight positive result in the same period of 2014.

Order Intake and Backlog

During 1H 2015, the Group’s commercial activity generated new awards worth €1,811.1 million, up €916.5 million. In particular, new orders include project awarded by ADGAS (Abu Dhabi), SOCAR POLYMER (Azerbaijan), EuroChem and JSC Gazprom Neft (Russia).

As at 30 June 2015, the backlog reached the recod level of €6,369.9 million, significantly up (+28.6% vs December 2014) thanks to the renewed commercial efforts carried out by the Group during the last quarters.

Sale of 60% of the share capital of BiOlevano S.r.l.

On 30 June 2015 has been finalized the sale to Italian investors of the majority stake, equal to 60%, of the share capital of BiOlevano S.r.l., owner of the biomass power plant located in Olevano Lomellina.

The transaction, which is expected to generate an overall cash-in equal to approximately €78 million, includes: a cash-in at the time of closing equal to approximately €53.2 million; about €8.1 million to be paid within 3 years fom the closing date, as well as an additional €16.5 million approximately subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions.

Subsequent Events

On 14 July 2015, KT – Kinetics Technology S.p.A. has been awarded an EPC contract by Grupa LOTOS SA related to a refinery unit upgrading in the Gdansk refinery, in the framework of the EFRA (Effective Refining) Project. The overall contract value is estimated to be €304 million. The project is expected to be completed in 25 months from the signing date.

On 29 July 2015, Tecnimont S.p.A. has been awarded by Yara International ASA (Yara) an EPC contract for a new urea granulation plant to be implemented in Sluiskil, The Netherlands. The contract value is equal to approximately €125 million and the project completion is expected in 25 months from the signing of the contract.

Outlook

In light of the positive results and acquisitions of the first half of 2015 and in the following weeks, positive margins for the second half of 2015 are expected to be maintained. This objective will continue to be driven by the high technologycal activities carried out in line with the Group’s strategic guidelines.

A high level of backlog is expected to be maintained thanks to the award of further projects in the core business, as a confirmation of the industrial repositioning and a business model that already allowed the Group to adapt to the market changes.

In the Licensing area, the business is expected to grow, which will lead to registration applications for several new patents throughout the year, and in parallel a broad marketing of proprietary technologies.

The Group also continues to pursue a cost reduction policy, further leveraging on the intitiatives started in the last quarters.

Finally, subject to favourable conditions, the Group confirms its intention to valorize a minority stake of the subsidiary Stamicarbon through a market transaction aimed at institutional investors.
