2013 Key economic and financial data

In 2013, several activities were concluded which we summarize below: • the payout on sports betting settled at 78.9%, and therefore turned out to be lower than the average registered by the other concessionaires ; the results were achieved also thanks to the effects of the new contractual agreement with betting shops and the improvement of automatic controls on the acceptance ofsports bets .

• Installation of the 5,052 VLT rights acquired by SNAI was concluded;
• Virtual Events were launched in December
• A total amount of Euro 65.7 million (including interest) was paid as a settlement of the appellate proceedings pending against judgment no. 214/2012 issued by the Court of Auditors concerning the operation of the new-slot network, amounting to 30% of the damages quantified in the judgment of first instance;
• Cost optimization actions were continued.

Snai Group earned revenues amounting to Euro 478.8 million compared to the Euro 514.4 million of 2012.

The decrease in revenues can mainly be attributed to the combined effect of the increased revenues from sports bets and VLT and, in the other direction, to the concurrent drop in the revenues of the AWPs together with the increase in the taxation rate on bets collection by the Entertainment Machines.

Lucca Rome Milan Despite the drops in revenues, Group EBITDA gained + 43.5% compared to the previous year, from Euro 64.5 million to Euro 92.6 million.

The non-recurring costs amounted to Euro 77.5 million during 2013 as compared to Euro 7.1 million the previous year and they are mainly related to the costs incurred in order to comply with the ruling on appeal of the first degree ruling 214/2012, relative to the operation of the new slot network, which was 30% of the damage calculated in the first degree, or Euro 63 million. Due to the impact of these non-recurring items, the Group’s EBIT is negative by Euro 41.8 million as compared to Euro -13.9 million in 2012.

The increase is mainly due to the payment made following the conclusion of the appeals process against ruling 214/2012, relative to the operation of the new-slot network with the Court of Auditors setting the amount at 30% of the damage calculated in the first degree ruling, for a total of Euro 65.7 million (including interest). A portion of the remaining increases is connected to the payment of taxes and penalties relative to PREU 2010 and the Single Tax of 2009-2010 defined during 2013.
