% of sales 2017
• The Distribution sector sourcing comprises 4 main product/supply chain model- Banana and Pineapples, are tropical fruit sourced all year round
from the same origins since they can be harvested, despite
some up/down in productivity, 52 weeks on 52; few suppliers are
involved , the biggest part is procured by the Import & Shipping
Segment (Simba) of Orsero completing the range with other
major brands or peculiar origins (e.g. Canary banana in Spain)
- Overseas products are sourced from extra-EU vendors based
chiefly in the Southern Hemisphere, providing fresh produce on
seasonal sales campaign / counter season basis ( i.e. when the
domestic produce is off)
- Domestic product, still a minor part of the bunch but with
increasing importance, several purchasing contracts are
finalized with small local producer depending on availability of
goods
- EU products consist of import from EU countries of counter
season fresh fruit and vegetables
• All fresh produce, apart bananas and pineapples, could be marketed almost all year long (e.g. Kiwi from NZ in Spring , or Kiwi from IT in fall/winter)- sourcing from different countries, depending on seasonality
- implying different supply chain
- utilizing appropriate cold storage (e.g. Kiwi from NZ in Spring , or
Kiwi from IT in fall/winter)
• The composition of sales channel vary form country to country adjusting accordingly to the overall penetration of modern trade on food retailing- Italy and Spain are still countries with a good balance between
supermarkets and wholesalers
- Portugal and France are characterized by a deeper
concentration of supermarkets

ACHIEVEMENTS 2017

• In line with the strategic vision, Orsero scouted some potential acquisition targets. The first opportunities for M&A were the 50:50 JV’s in Spain and in the central Italy area ( Tuscany):
- Hermanos Fernández López S.A. (HFL), framework agreement signed in July 2017 and acquisition finalized on Sep. 25, 2017;
- Fruttital Firenze S.p.A. and Galandi S.p.A. (the Tuscans), acquisition finalized in July 2017.
• These investments are reputed low risk taking :
- Target Companies’ financial results have been steadily positive and they are operating efficiently, with good positioning in their respective markets and with potentiality for growth in the upcoming years;
- the Group has held a 50% interest in HFL since the year 2000 and a 50% interest in both Tuscan companies since the year 2001, being in partnership with local entrepreneurs and involved in the management.
• As far as the operating activities are concerned, the Group achieved a significant increase in both volumes and selling prices throughout its subsidiaries in Europe with remarkable results for Italy and Spain.
- In Italy, in particular, the Group enlarged the range of products marketed under the “F.lliOrsero” brand, launched the new perfectly ripened and ready-to-eat line of exotic fruit (“Maturial punto giusto”), started a field trial collaboration with a primary e-commerce platform and enhanced the “fresh cut” sales (through a new investment in Tuscany).
- The Group also pursued some initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce costs, such as building a new packinghouse in Mexico to serve Avocado exportation, streamlining the organizational chart (first step simplifying the Italian Company structure) and the ongoing implementation of a new ERP.

the fair value re-measurement of the existing 50% of
the acquired companies and other non-recurring
• Total Equity is 145,7 M€ as a consequence of period
net profit and the effects of
- capital increases, 13 M€ related to the acquisition of the
50% of the Spanish JV and 0,2 M€ due to warrants

MID-LONG TERM STRATEGY
21
• Create commercial synergies on purchases and sales side of Orsero’s Distributing network- Increase the operational leverage and cost effectiveness.
• Drive a path towards product innovation, launching new value-added product and create a new service approach to customers to differentiate the product offer, empowering current initiatives:
- perfectly ripened and ready-to-eat line of exotic fruit (“Maturi al punto giusto”)
- “fresh cut”
• Evaluate economic sustainable and accretive investment/partnership into adjacent products (e.g. dried fruit) and processed fresh produce- Sharing of know how
- Leverage of the Southern-European wide distributing network of Orsero to increase coverage
- Branding opportunities
• Within 5 years targeting a share of distribution sales originating from all new and added-value product families from ~1% to ~10%
• Keep the current position in the Import of green bananas and pineapples, exploiting the opportunity to grow only in pineapples.
Key topics:- Fostering partnership with supplier
- Monitoring of EUR/USD cross rate
• Keep running the 4 specialized reefer vessels, evaluating in the long-run possible solution to contain the volatility and the exposure to shipping activities.
Key topics:- Book-life up to 2024/2025, expected life in use up to 2028/2029
- Challenge from reefer container competition
- Challenge from regulation, namely the IMO 2020 regulation on sulphur emission (i.e. scrubber installation versus Low
Sulphur Fuel Oil )

NET SALES VARIANCE
DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT – MIX SNAPSHOT (*)
• Net sales FY 2017 pro forma grew by 252,9 M€ vs 2016, equal
to +36,9%, like-for-like growth is +3,2 % plus a perimeter
change due to M&A +33,7%.
- Distribution Segment on a constant perimeter is up about 37 M€,
+6,6%, thanks to increased marketed quantities and better prices
- Distribution Segment increases by 259 M€ (net of intra-segment
elimination) thanks to the acquisition of the remaining stake in the
JV’s in Spain and Italy
- Import & Shipping declines by abt. 16 M€, - 6,8%, mainly due the
declining loading factor resulting in less sales in shipping services
- Services and Inter Segment eliminations (I/S) negative balance
increases as an effect of line-by-line consolidation of acquired
companies (I/S net sales are chiefly referred to Bananas and Pines
sourced by Import & Shipping Segment on behalf of Distribution
Segment).

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED EBITDA
ADJUSTED EBITDA VARIANCE• Adjusted EBITDA FY 2017 pro forma is abt. 31,3 M€,
3,3% on net sales, down of 3,9 M€ compared with
2016.
• The overall change is attributable to:
- Distribution Segment/ “like-for like” is up by + 3,7 M€ ( 19,4 M€
vs 15,7 M€) due to a significant sales increase, better prices
and gross margin in several product traded coupled with an
incremented operational leverage
- Distribution Segment /”M&A” is up + 9,7 M, as an effect of
M&A on an yearly basis
- Import & Shipping is down by -17,8 M€ for the downturns in
the banana import market (excess of supply all year long and
weaker EUR/USD cross rate in H1 2017) and the decline of
profitability of shipping services. The key drivers of reduced
margin of shipping activities are :
▪ slightly declining freight rate
▪ increased bunker fuel costs (the average bunker is abt. 313
USD/Mton compared with 216 USD/Mton of FY 2016)
▪ lower loading factor (82% vs more than 93% last year).

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT
• Net Profit is abt. 15,1 M€, -3,2 M€ compared with last
year.
• The most significant items bridging the Adjusted EBITDA
pro forma and Net Profit pro forma are :
- Depreciations, Amortizations and Provisions for risks and
charges of abt. 15,3 M€, 4 M€ higher than previous year due to
the perimeter change related to M&A
- Net financial expenses of 2,7 M€, higher by 1,3 mainly
attributable to less interest gained on one-off cash reserves (in
2016 the SPAC held ~80M € parked in time deposits)
- Share of Profit of JV and Associated company attributable to
Orsero Group of 1 M€, decreasing by 4 M€ reflecting the full
consolidation of JV’s acquired last July and the disposal of 50%
interest in Acorsa
- Non-recurring net items account for + 5,3 M€, main topics are:
▪ the enforcement of the Intesa Guarantee
▪ The fair value re-measurement of previously held 50%
interests in the acquired JV’s, in accordance with IFRS 3
(non-cash item)
- Tax for approx. 4,4 M€, increased of abt. 1,6 M€ as a
consequence of the shift in the pre-tax profit generation from
Shipping activities, which are granted with a reduced income
tax regime, and Distribution, where “normal” tax rate is applied
- Effective tax rate is 21,9 % on imposable income, less than
standard tax rate thanks to some tax assets.
