Despite the continuing difficulty in the economic and financial situation, in the 2012 financial year the Manutencoop Facility Management group recorded steady Revenues (+0.4%) and a significant rise in Net Earnings (+172.3%). The marked rise in net earnings is mainly due to lower tax charges following the introduction of recent legal rules on taxes (IRES reimbursement under Law no. 214 of 22 December 2011, known as the “Save Italy Decree”).
However, margins were lower (EBITDA: -7.5%; EBIT: -11.8%) compared to 31 December 2011 due to the continuing difficulty in the markets on the one hand, and on the other hand because of additional write-downs in the receivables portfolio as a result of the financial difficulties experienced by certain customers.
