Key financial information for 2011

In 2011, the Snai Group achieved revenues of Euro 558.5 million, down from Euro 566.9 million in 2010: the lower revenues from sports betting were offset by revenues from the video lotteries segment. The Group’s Ebitda amounted to Euro 74.7 million (after taking into account non-recurring revenues and costs calculated in the amount of Euro 15.9 million for operating purposes), with a 16.5% increase over the
previous year’s figure of Euro 64.1 million: the improvement in this item is due to both the start-up of the video lotteries segment and a more favorable payout for the Group in the sports betting segment.

The Group’s Ebit is negative (Euro – 5.1 million, down from Euro 0.4 million in 2010), has also been affected by the write-down in the remaining value corresponding to 1,310 horse race betting rights revoked by the State Monopolies Agency Aams (Amministrazione autonoma dei monopoli di Stato) for a total of Euro 8.7 million di euro. The consolidated results of operations is negative (Euro – 40.3 million), after taking into account non-recurring revenues and costs calculated in the amount of Euro 28.1 million for operating purposes, as comparied to the loss of Euro -32.4 million registered at the end of 2010.

The SNAI Group’s net financial position, as of 31 December 2011, shows net indebtedness of Euro 354.4 million, up from net indebtedness of Euro 293.4 million at yearend 2010: the net financial indebtedness increased by Euro 61 million, mainly due to the payment of the sole tax on betting and the Preu (Prelievo erariale unico – single tax payment) on entertainment devices – Awp, which had fallen due but had not yet been paid at the end of 2010, and to repay debts for the purchase of concessions. On 8 March 2011, SNAI S.p.A. entered into an agreement related to a financing transaction involving the disbursement to the company by Unicredit S.p.A., Banca IMI S.p.A. and Deutsche Bank S.p.A., in their capacities as mandated lead arrangers, of a medium/long-term facility in several tranches, for a maximum total amount of up to Euro 490 million. Through the partial disbursement of such facility in several installments, for a total of Euro 354,750 million, SNAI S.p.A. had the financial resources available to repay the financial debts falling due, in the amount of Euro 228 million to the previous lenders Unicredit S.p.A. and Solar S.A., and to sustain the development of its business operations: the loan is secured by security interests granted by SNAI S.p.A. over its main tangible and intangible assets.

Euro 57 million in 2010), while its Ebit is negative (Euro - 5.8 million) down from Euro -1.7 million in 2010.

The results of operations are negative (Euro – 41.6 million) as compared with Euro – 33.4 million in 2010: the main reasons behind this figure are essentially those already described in connection with the Group’s
