Consensus | Guidance | Actual |
- Surpassed previous Revenue guidance of approximately €7 million, primarily driven by a very strong Q4 performance of HOST, EICMA, and the ECTRIMS congress (multiple sclerosis related congress)
- Exceeded previous EBITDA guidance by approx. €9 million, primarily due to the higher Revenue contribution, cost-savinginitiatives, and improved performance in China
- Outperformed previous Net Cash guidance by €23 million, mainly attributable to the higher EBITDA contribution and improved net working capital dynamics

PREVIEW
NEW STRATEGIC
PLAN

- Building on strong 2023 results and positive feedback from planned 2024 events, we are optimistic about our financial outlook for the current year. Despite the less favorable calendar seasonality of even years, we expect
EBITDA to range between €65 -75mby 31 December 2024 - 2024 will see the return of the major itinerant event CPHI (> 100k sqm expected; twice the size of the last edition), confirming Fiera Milano's ability to attract large international events and the biennial MCE - Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (> 80k sqm expected)
- The upcoming Strategic Plan 2024-2027 presentation on 8 April 2024, will be a pivotal moment to articulate Fiera Milano medium-to-long-termstrategic vision and outline development initiatives for the coming years
