Landi Renzo: revenues up by 8.9% compared to the first half of 2011, net profit of 2.6 million Euro and reduction in net debt of over 18 million Euro in the first half of 2012
o o o o o Revenues: 139.2 million Euro, +8.9% compared to 127.7 million Euro in 1H2011 EBITDA: 15.9 million Euro, +45.9% compared to 10.9 million Euro in 1H2011 EBIT: 6.7 million Euro, +274.8% compared to 1.8 million Euro in 1H2011 Net profit: 2.6 million Euro (net loss of 2.4 million Euro in 1H2011) Net debt: 71.6 million Euro, significantly improved compared to 90.1 million Euro at 31 December 2011.

Cavriago (Reggio Emilia), 28 August 2012 The Board of Directors of Landi Renzo SpA met today under the chairmanship of Stefano Landi to approve the Company's half year financial statements for the period ending 30 June 2012. The Group recorded an increase in revenues mainly due to two macro elements: the growth in registrations of LPG vehicles by car makers in Italy and Europe with Euro 5 engines and the solid recovery in transformations on the Aftermarket, both in Italy, and in Far East countries and Latin America, where the Group is increasing its market penetration. "The initiatives put in place by the Group in the most recent quarters have started to produce their first results, thus enabling us, as early as the first half of 2012, to return a profit and, above all, produce cash. And this in a very difficult macroeconomic context ­ said Landi Renzo CEO Claudio Carnevale, ­ To grow we have focussed on technological and product developments which have enabled us to strengthen relationships with car manufacturers. In the Aftermarket channel too the product innovation strategy has produced good results, allowing us to increase our presence in strategic areas. This approach explains the commitment to acquire SAFE, the company which has been active for over 35 years in the manufacture of gas compressors: we have grounds for believing that, as part of industrial integration, filling stations could have a parallel development, or even push the sector of alternative fuels, compared to CNG fuel systems for motor vehicles."

Consolidated results at 30 June 2012 The Landi Renzo Group ended the first half of 2012 with net profit of 2.61 million Euro, compared to a net loss of 2.40 million Euro in the first half of 2011. Revenues stood at 139.16 million Euro, up by 8.9% compared to the prior-year period. EBITDA totalled 15.89 million Euro, compared to 10.89 million Euro at 30 June 2011, up by 45.9%. EBIT totalled 6.74 million Euro, compared to 1.80 million Euro at 30 June 2011, up by 274.8%. In the second quarter of 2012 the Group achieved revenues of 79.56 million Euro, up by 19.96 million Euro compared to the first quarter of 2012 (+33.5%). The Group's net profit in the quarter stood at 3.40 million Euro compared to a loss of 0.82 million Euro in the first quarter of 2012.

Breakdown of revenues Revenues from the sales of LPG systems totalled 92.45 million Euro, while those from the sale of CNG systems totalled 39.62 million Euro. Revenues from product sales in Other sectors (Alarm systems, Sound, Acquatronic and Robotic) totalled 7.08 million Euro. The geographic breakdown of revenues shows that in the first half of 2012 the Landi Group realised 69.1% (82.9% at 30 June 2011) of its consolidated revenues abroad (32.3% in Europe and 36.8% outside of Europe). The Italian market grew by 96.7% compared to the prior-year period and revenues stood at 42.95 million Euro; this increase was caused by the rise in demand for vehicles that use cleaner and cheaper fuels (LPG and CNG) and in particular, in the car manufacturers' channel, by the full market availability from the start of the year of the completely renewed product range. The trend in revenues in Europe was also positive (+35.8%) compared to the first half of 2011: Group sales benefitted both from the increase of the main markets in the area and from the positive effect generated by the launch of a renewed product range for the Aftermarket channel. The South-Western Asia market, as already highlighted in the first quarter of 2012, saw sales drop by 64.8% compared to the prior-year period, mainly due to a sharp slowdown in the Iranian and Pakistani markets. Markets in the Rest of the World recorded an increase of 11.8% compared to the first half of 2011, following the favourable trend in demand in the Far East countries where the Group is increasing its penetration, also thanks to its direct presence. Meanwhile American markets recorded a slight fall of around 5.8% compared to the prior-year period.

Equity and financial results at 30 June 2012 Net debt at 30 June 2012 amounted to 71.56 million Euro compared to 96.55 million Euro at 31 March 2012 and 90.11 million Euro at 31 December 2011. The significant fall in debt, down by 24.99 million Euro in the second quarter, is attributable to higher profits and the change in net working capital. Shareholders' equity amounted to 139.85 million Euro, compared to 135.97 million Euro at 31 March 2012 and 137.00 million Euro at 31 December 2011.

Significant events for the period On 23 May 2012 Landi Renzo S.p.A. sent Agave S.r.l., a company in liquidation which was preparing to submit request for arrangement with creditors, an irrevocable proposal for the temporary lease and subsequent purchase of the SAFE corporate business. Agave S.r.l., through the SAFE brand, has operated for over 35 years in the manufacture of gas compressors that are used for a number of applications; the main business areas concern compressed natural gas (CNG fuelling systems for motor vehicles), Oil and Gas (compressors and support systems for gas processing activities from extraction to distribution), biogas processing systems, and hydrogen and LNG systems. The lease of the corporate business was formalised in July and the subsequent final acquisition is dependent on the approval of the arrangement plan which will be submitted to creditors by Agave S.r.l.
