Hera included in the FTSE MIB

As of today, Monday 18 March, the multi-utility is part of the index comprising the 40 largest companies listed on the Italian stock exchange

Hera has been included, as of today, Monday 18 March, in the FTSE MIB, the main index of Borsa Italiana, which comprises the 40 largest stocks listed on the Italian stock exchange in terms of capitalisation, liquidity and trading volume.

Hera, one of Italy's leading multi-utilities, has become part of this index based on the amount of free-float capitalisation and the value of shares traded over the last six months (+52% compared to the 2018 average).

This achievement was made possible by Hera's path of uninterrupted growth, which began 16 years ago and is based on a multi-business model that combines internal and external growth and shows a mix of activities offering resilience towards the main macro-variables seen in its reference scenario.

The new Business plan to 2022 shows further prospects for growth in Ebitda (+200 million euro in the period from 2018 to 2022), sustained by 3.1 billion in investments (of which 1.1 going towards development). Increases in cash generation will also ensure the Group's ability to maintain its financial soundness (with the 2022 target for the net debt/Ebitda ratio coming to 2.9).

The Plan also confirms the importance of creating value for shareholders, with a dividend policy aimed at paying 11 cents per share in 2022 (compared to the 9.5 cents paid in 2018).

HeraSolidale with Save the Children, which continues to support the displaced people of the war in Syria

Save the Children With HeraSolidale, the project with which we promote the support of voluntary associations active in the territories in which we operate, we concretely contribute to the activities that Save the Children carries out in the three nurseries set up in a refugee camp in Jordan. With 25,000 euros we obtained the distribution of healthy snacks for 200 children for a year. Now we want to achieve the second goal: with an additional 50,000 euros we always guarantee the support of two asylum teachers for a year and we give children 2,000 school kits and books. There is still time to support the project! 2019-08-19 CH18291_800x.1564755264.jpg Thanks to the donations of workers, company and customers, the non-profit organization managed to distribute healthy snacks for 200 children for a year.

100% of Pistoia Ambiente goes to Herambiente

HA-PTA_110 Herambiente, a Hera Group company and Italian leader in waste treatment, has acquired Pistoia Ambiente, which manages the Serravalle Pistoiese landfill and the associated liquid waste treatment plant. This transaction, which follows up on others brought to a conclusion in previous years (from Waste Recycling and Teseco in Tuscany, to Geo Nova and Aliplast in Treviso), is part of Herambiente's path of growth in the sector of industrial waste treatment and environmental services for businesses. More specifically, Herambiente has further consolidated its own set of plants dedicated to companies, which is unique nationwide, having over 15 poly-functional sites active in treating industrial waste. The Serravalle landfill and the liquid treatment plant will mainly treat waste coming from industrial contexts, guaranteeing new opportunities for marketing and technical synergies with other the plants and services managed by the Group, furthermore allowing Herambiente to become the reference operator in the waste sector in Tuscany as well. The strategic priority pursued by Herambiente, which can rely on the roughly ninety plants it owns, all certified and at the forefront in bringing together efficiency, competitiveness in costs and sustainability, is to provide companies with waste treatment solutions that follow the principles of a circular economy. The technology currently used in rounding off the circle of waste treatment still requires final waste disposal sites such as landfills, able to safely deal with non-recoverable waste coming from treatment plants. The acquisition of Pistoia Ambiente is therefore in line with this strategic orientation and will guarantee positive results in this area.

Energy partnership between Hera and Ascopiave in the North-East gets the green light

GH-Ascopiave_110 Today, the Boards of Directors of Hera S.p.A. and Ascopiave S.p.A., the latter based on the favourable opinion of its committee of independent administrators, following the binding agreement signed this last June 17th and in full compliance with the timescales indicated therein, resolved to sign the framework agreement that will launch this commercial partnership through the joint venture EstEnergy aimed at developing an energy sector leader in the North-East with over one million customers, while at the same time restructuring the two partners' respective gas distribution activities. As already announced on June 17th, on the occasion of the signing of the binding term sheet, the operation involves exchanging assets of equal value between Hera and Ascopiave, considered strategic for the development of the two companies in the fields of both energy sales and gas distribution, in keeping with the strategic objectives of the two groups. On the commercial energy front, a single operator will be created to handle the respective commercial activities in the regions of Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Lombardy, through EstEnergy S.p.a., already jointly controlled by Ascopiave S.p.a. and Hera Comm S.r.l., which will thus hold approximately 795,000 gas contracts and approximately 265,000 electrical contracts, bringing it over the threshold of one million contracts. EstEnergy, when fully operational, will have a consolidated EBITDA of approximately € 69 million - on a 2018 basis and excluding the participation of companies held with minority interests. 52% of EstEnergy's share capital will be held by the Hera Group and 48% by Ascopiave. In addition, on the closing date Ascopiave will acquire a 3% stake in the capital of Hera Comm, acquiring the right to appoint a member of the Board of Directors; while Hera Comm will directly acquire 100% of the capital of Amgas Blu, a company operating in the province of Foggia. The reorganisation of gas distribution activities, on the other hand, will involve Ascopiave purchasing from the Hera Group a series of concessions covering 188,000 users in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. As a result of this operation, the Ascopiave Group will directly manage approximately 775,000 users and over 12,000 km of network.

Hera BoD approves results for 1H 2019

1H_2019_110 Financial highlights Revenues at 3,371.6 million euro (+13.6%) Ebitda at 545.9 million (+4.3%) Net profit at 173.9 million euro (+7.1%) Net debt at 2,685.2 million euro Operating highlights Excellent contribution from all business areas Growth mainly internal, generally in free market activities Further increase in energy customers, now above 2.6 million Today, the Hera Group’s Board of Directors, chaired by Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, unanimously approved the consolidated economic results at 30 June 2019, which confirm the multi-utility’s positive trend, with indicators rising in all business areas: gas, water cycle, waste management and electricity. An excellent contribution came from internal growth, both in free market activities – which benefitted from an increase in energy customers, now 2.6 million, and from further expansion in waste treatment – and in regulated activities, above all the water sector. The first six months saw acquisitions including the company ATR in gas distribution and CMV Energia e Impianti’s energy sales activities, both operating in the Ferrara area and both acquired in March, as well as Cosea Ambiente, acquired in May with the concession of the Cosea Consorzio landfill, located in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine area, assigned as of the second half of 2019. The effects of additional M&A transactions are expected to arrive in the second half of the year, along with constantly increasing waste treatment capacity, thanks to the new waste treatment plants coming from Pistoia Ambiente in Tuscany and Cordenons in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Furthermore, work on formalising the definitive agreement with Ascopiave is ongoing, as set out in the binding Term Sheet signed on 17 June and respecting its timeline. Overall, the half-year results confirm the Group’s winning strategy, based on a business model that balances regulated and free-market activities, and brings internal growth together with attention towards the opportunities in external growth offered by the market. Revenues increase to almost 3.4 billion euro In the first half of 2019, revenues came to 3,371.6 million euro, up 404.9 million (+13.6%) over the 2,966.7 million seen in the same period of 2018. This result was reached above all thanks to growth in revenues for trading and higher revenues and higher volumes in gas and electricity sales. The remaining growth was due to higher revenues in electricity generation and waste treatment. Ebitda rises to 545.9 million euro Ebitda settled at 545.9 million euro, increasing by 22.3 million (+4.3%) over the 523.6 million recorded at 30 June 2018. This result is particularly remarkable considering the 22 million euro drop in Ebitda coming from last resort markets, and the growth ensued from the good performances in all Group activities, in particular the water cycle and gas. Positive results also came from the electricity, waste management and other services areas, including public lighting. Operating result and pre-tax profits show growth Operating profits increased to 288.9 million euro, up 15.3 million (+5.6%) over the 273.6 million seen one year earlier. Financial operations came to 44.9 million euro, owing to lower non-recurring income and lower profits from affiliated companies and joint ventures, as well as the application of international accounting standard IFRS16 on operating leases. Pre-tax profit grew by 9.6 million (+4.1%), going from 234.4 million euro in the first half of 2018 to 244.0 million euro at 30 June 2019. Net result rises to 173.9 million euro (+7.1%) The net profit at 30 June 2019 rose to 173.9 million, with growth coming to 11.5 million (+7.1%) over the 162.4 million recorded at the same date one year earlier, without the non-recurring effects coming from the transfer of Medea to Italgas in April 2018. This result is due to factors including a further improvement in the tax rate, which went from 30.1% to 28.7%, thanks to the Group’s continuous commitment towards investing in assets moving towards technological and digital transformation and utility 4.0, which benefitted from “super and iper” amortisations, alongside additional incentives and tax credits. Profits pertaining to Group shareholders amounted to 166.2 million euro, with an 8.1 million (+5.1%) increase over the 158.1 million recorded in the first half of 2018. Almost 215 million in investments, and financial position stable In the first six months of 2019, the Group’s operating investments, including capital grants, amounted to 214.6 million euro, up 30.8 million (+16.8%) over the 183.8 million seen in June 2018, and mainly went to interventions on plants, networks and infrastructures, in addition to regulatory upgrading above all in gas distribution, with an intensive meter substitution, and the purification and sewerage areas. The Group’s financial solidity is confirmed by the net debt/Ebitda ratio, which in the first half of 2019 settled at 2.55x, improving compared to both the 2.62x seen at 30 June 2018 and the 2.74x recorded at the same date in 2017. Further confirmation comes from the Roe and Roi indicators, which respectively came to 10.2% and 9.5%. Net debt remained stable, thanks to a cash generation that entirely financed investments and the yearly dividend payment. Net debt closed at 2,685.2 million at 30 June 2019, up 100 million compared to the 2,585.6 million recorded at 31 December 2018, exclusively due to the new accounting standard IFRS16 on leasing contracts. Statement by Executive ChairmanTomaso Tommasi di Vignano “These half-year results confirm the Hera Group’s trend of uninterrupted growth and fully respect its track record, thanks to organic growth and the numerous projects implemented in internal and external development. The increase in Ebitda, the profits gained and the attentive management of financial operations allowed the Group to fully cover both investments and annual dividend payments to our Shareholders, which rose to 10 cents per share (+5.3%). The further increase in waste treatment plants managed and the joint venture with Ascopiave in the energy sector, currently being formalised, will allow us to implement plans for growth as early as the second half of 2019 on the one hand, and on the other to expand in the Triveneto area, strategically important for a further development of the Group’s activities, already ensuring at present, after only 18 months, 60% of the growth in Ebitda foreseen within 2022 by the Business plan.” Statement by CEO Stefano Venier “The results for the first half of 2019 confirm the solid financial management that has allowed the Group to maintain stability in both debt and the net debt/Ebitda ratio, which now comes to 2.55x, providing evidence of its high financial flexibility. The debt profile has also improved, thanks to the placement, on 26 June, of our second green bond, amounting to 500 million euro, intended for projects in environmental sustainability. This has allowed us to grasp available M&A opportunities and confirm our leadership through further consolidation in the markets, still fragmentary, in which all of our businesses operate. One factor that cannot be overlooked, in continuing to pursue our strategy of growth, is the attention given to sustainability, which for us is a true business lever, and the principles underlying a circular economy, in order to continue creating shared value for all our stakeholders.” The manager responsible for drafting the company’s accounting statements, Luca Moroni, declares, pursuant to article 154-bis paragraph 2 of the TUF, that the information contained in the present press release corresponds to the documentation available and to the account books and entries. The half-year financial report and related materials will be made available to the public pursuant to the terms established by law at Company Headquarters, on the website www.gruppohera.it and on the authorised storage platform 1Info (www.1info.it ).

PSBO: open to the public Piazzale Kennedy

Piazzale_Kennedy_110 Piazzale Kennedy is now open to the public, the heart of the Piano di Salvaguardia della Balneazione (PSBO), created by Hera and the Municipality of Rimini together with Romagna Acque and Amir, one of the main hydraulic works of recent years in Italy, thanks to total investments for over 150 million euros, and reported by the UN for its importance in safeguarding marine environments. After months of incessant work on the building site, under the Construction Management of the Hera Group, the area was in fact returned to the city and the first of the two viewpoints was completed. The high lookout (the so-called "torrino") is still not accessible, although partially completed, which will remain fenced for safety reasons until the end of the summer period, also thanks to panels that show the citizens the most important phases of the intervention. Let us remember that Piazzale Kennedy is a project of great importance, not only from a plant engineering point of view, which the city of Rimini has undertaken. It is in fact the result of an important work of coherence between hydraulic works and urban planning and redevelopment guidelines. A synthesis of planning and architectural and landscape integration of the plant system in the city system. Piazzale Kennedy is one of the most important construction sites of the PSBO both in terms of impact and complexity: started in 2016, the shipyard sees today completed about 90% of the works. At the end of the summer season the works will resume in the remaining part of the area to reach the final phase of the redevelopment, the most visible and spectacular, with the opening of the lookout above the new hydraulic garrison. The underground part The new hydraulic facility provides an important accumulation infrastructure characterized by a total volume of almost 40,000 cubic meters, consisting of a first tank of 14,000 cubic meters of volume, which collects the first rainwater, and a second tank of 25,000 cubic meters with lamination and accumulation function. The first tank came into operation in mid-June, for the benefit of bathing in the Marina Centro area of Rimini. At the end of September, after the summer break, instead the works of the second larger tank will resume, which aims to limit, through a process of rolling the flood, the mixed flows that will eventually be conveyed to the sea. This tank is preparatory to the subsequent outflow lifting, with a pumping capacity of 18,000 liters per second, or to return to treatment at the Santa Giustina purifier. The large pool will come into operation once the sea pipelines have been completed, whose forecast for completion is scheduled for next autumn. In addition to the creation of new storage volumes and related lifting systems, particular attention was paid to the containment of odors. The project, in fact, provides a system based on forced ventilation that will convey the air drawn in from the tanks (both the first rain and the rolling one) to a treatment system that uses a specific activated carbon technology. Furthermore, the importance of the project must also be highlighted from the point of view of hydraulic protection: thanks to the work put in place it will in fact be possible to prevent flooding phenomena such as those already caused in the past by exceptional weather events. Finally, thanks to appropriate screening and storage treatments of the materials deriving from the excavations fielded by Hera, it was possible to recover over 20 thousand cubic meters of excellent quality sand, already used for the nourishment of the Rimini coasts. The operation is fully part of the initiatives aimed at protecting our beaches, because it helps to combat soil erosion, and as a good practice in a circular economy perspective. 20190713_PSBO_open_to_the_public_Piazzale_Kennedy.1564144575.pdf 2019-07-26 piazzale_kennedy_800_1.1563181364.jpg The viewpoint above the construction site, the heart of the Bathing Safeguard Plan, is now fully accessible Read more Piazzale_Kennedy_110

HeraSolidale: with Butterfly Onlus our contribution has reached Africa

Pozzi_110 In Ethiopia, access to drinking water sources is extremely problematic. It is estimated that, on average, only 27% of the population has access to clean water. From all this derive diseases related to intestinal infections that tend to affect the weakest categories such as children, the elderly and women. This project is part of ongoing programs aimed at improving access to water supply for rural populations in the eastern area of the Tigray and Afar, regions in the extreme north of Ethiopia that live in a serious state of economic and social crisis. Here agriculture plays a predominant role employing 90% of the population. During 2018, for the Hera Solidarity project, thanks to the involvement and collaboration of workers, company and customers, we raised 145 thousand euros, of which 15 thousand for Butterfly Onlus. With this important amount, 3 wells were rehabilitated and then inaugurated. But let's not stop there: the goal for the year 2019 is to collect a useful amount to inaugurate another 4 wells, of which another 4,300 people will benefit. 2019-07-29 butterfly_foto1_800.1562838805.jpg Thanks to the donations of workers, company and customers, Butterfly Onlus has inaugurated three wells in Ethiopia that allow over 3 thousand people to drink clean water Pozzi_110

10 candles: Herambiente celebrates its tenth anniversary with a gesture of solidarity

10anni_HA_110 It was July 1st 2009, when Herambiente was born, which takes the expertise and the rich endowment of Hera Group plants into a new reality that is better able to capture the prospects for development in the sector, characterized by a high fragmentation of operators and by a plant infrastructure insufficient to meet the needs of the country. The roots of the company therefore lie in almost 100 years of history, or in the DNA of those municipalities in Emilia Romagna to which the Municipalities entrusted, in the first half of the 1900s, the management of waste and then, over the years, the construction of the plants of urban waste disposal. Exact ten years of constant growth starting from Emilia-Romagna 2013: four years after its birth, Herambiente starts its expansion in the territories of Padua and Trieste with the acquisition of AcegasAps by the Hera Group, thus acquiring the Padua and Trieste waste-to-energy plants and the Padua storage plant. 2014: territorial expansion continues in northern Italy with the acquisition of the Ecoenergy Srl plant in Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN). Here non-hazardous special waste is transformed into CSS, a secondary solid fuel that feeds thermoelectric, cement and waste-to-energy plants, avoiding the use of fossil fuels. This confirms the company's position as a leader in the recovery of materials and energy from waste, completing the value chain downstream of the usual treatment process. 2016: Herambiente completes the acquisition of some environmental business branches of Geo Nova, which has twenty years of experience in the treatment, recovery, disposal of urban and industrial waste, in particular by detecting the storage plant for hazardous and non-hazardous waste at San Vito al Tagliamento (PN) and the active landfills for non-hazardous waste of Loria (TV) and Sommacampagna (VR). Thanks to this operation, the Group further expands its corporate perimeter in the North East following the logic of developing and strengthening sales in areas where it was already active and thus extending its plant park with a more complete offer for Veneto customers and of Friuli Venezia Giulia. 2017: the acquisition process of Aliplast begins, a leading national company in the collection and recycling of industrial plastic waste and in the recycling and production of regenerated polymers, a decision that testifies to Herambiente's desire to combine its business with the values of the circular economy, with a view to environmental sustainability. With this operation, the corporate scope also extends abroad because Aliplast has offices in Italy, Spain, France and Poland; Waste Recycling acquires Teseco, a leading company in the treatment and recovery of industrial waste, with more than 30 years of experience in the sector of special waste and innovative plants. 1 July 2019: in conjunction with the tenth anniversary, Waste Recycling is incorporated by merger and Herambiente becomes the international leader in the industrial waste sector, with 1 million tons managed per year, able to offer an increasingly complete and personalized service based on the needs of individual customers, be they small or medium and large companies. Circular economy and sustainability at the center of the choices As a company specializing in the treatment of urban waste, Herambiente in these 10 years has therefore gradually integrated industrial waste into its business, creating, in 2014, a dedicated company, Herambiente Servizi Industriali. With the subsequent acquisition of Aliplast it then moved towards the production of regenerated plastic. Along this path, by providing innovative services and technologies, the Group was able to make waste a resource, creating a circular economy for the benefit of the communities but also of national and foreign companies of which it is a partner. Together with customers, in fact, high-value services are developed to improve and streamline business processes and impacts, always combining attention to economic resources and sustainability. The increase in the customer portfolio from 370 in 2009 to 3,000 in 2019 is the acknowledgment to Herambiente of being a serious and reliable partner. A result achieved also thanks to the strong investment in the professional development of its resources, which went from 738 to 1,415 in 10 years, through a constant search for innovation and enriching the technical skills of employees. A gift to Ageop for Herambiente's birthday For ten years at the service of companies and territory, Herambiente has decided to celebrate this birthday by donating to the Associazione Genitori Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica - AGEOP of Bologna a van equipped for the transport of children and their families from the AGEOP Houses to the hospital Sant ' Orsola Malpighi of Bologna. The association has been welcoming and assisting cancer children and their families for thirty-five years to improve their living conditions. The AGEOP facilities, where small patients and parents are welcomed for free all the time of the therapies, make it possible to realize the synergy with the Pediatric Oncology Department of the Policlinico Sant’Orsola Malpighi allowing to resort to the so-called "protected resignations". This means that children can be discharged as soon as possible, continuing therapies "at home" and therefore with a significant improvement in their quality of life. When the children are not from Bologna, the AGEOP structures become "their home" and the high standards of hygiene and health with which they are conceived make them a safe and welcoming haven in which to face the therapeutic period without ever being left alone in front of the illness . consegna_chiavi_veicolo 20190702_Herambiente_sets_solidarity_in_motion.1564143740.pdf 2019-07-26 The Hera Group company celebrates its birthday by donating a van equipped for transporting children and their families to the Sant'Orsola Malpighi hospital at the AGEOP of Bologna sinistra Read more 10anni_HA_110

The biggest Italian company dedicated to the management of industrial waste grows

Hasi-WR_110 As of 1 July, Waste Recycling, a subsidiary of Herambiente, is founded through a merger with Herambiente Servizi Industriali (Hasi), which then becomes the largest Italian company dedicated to the management of industrial waste, with registered office in Bologna and three commercial locations in Ravenna, Padua and Pisa. Hasi targets one million tonnes treated per year The objective of the merger is to simplify and further rationalise the overall structure of the company and make corporate coordination activities easier in order to achieve economies of scale with a general improvement in operating efficiency. The entry to Hasi of the three Tuscan multifunctional sites of Waste Recycling (two in Castelfranco di Sotto and one in Pisa, the former Teseco) will also enable an increase in the range of customers, allowing Hasi to transfer more types of waste to the same platform. In Italy, waste from production activities accounts for 80% of all waste produced. With respect to urban waste, industrial waste requires highly professional management systems and cutting edge treatment plants. Thanks to this merger, the volumes treated by Hasi have doubled, up from 550,000 to one million tonnes per year, mainly coming from the chemical-pharmaceutical, petrochemical, iron and steel sectors, and also the manufacturing and food sectors. The same goes for customers, which rose from 1,500 to 3,000, small and medium enterprises and also 250 large customers. The number of employees in the new company Hasi rose from around 40 initially to 200, while turnover reached Euro 140 million per year, compared to Euro 50 million previously. Serving companies Hasi was created in 2014 from an offshoot of Herambiente, the Hera Group company which is a national leader in waste management, with more than 6 million tonnes per year (including urban and special, hazardous and non-hazardous, originating from urban collection and industrial and productive activities). Thanks to the availability of roughly 90 certified Herambiente plants and a network of qualified suppliers throughout the country, Hasi is the Group company that offers services to companies that range from micro collection for small commercial activities to treatment and disposal of all types of waste for SMEs and large industrial groups. With a view to reducing costs and enhancing the circular economy performance of business customers, Hasi's offer has evolved over time, augmenting waste treatment and transport with a comprehensive series of related higher value services: the so-called Global Waste Management, customised solutions to support customers at each phase of management of their waste,always with a focus on recycling and recovery, as also indicated in the EU directives. The companies supported by Hasi with Global Waste Management services actually reach recovery shares of roughly 80%, thanks to efficiency plans proposed to reduce waste produced and an improvement in plant performances. In addition, the synergy with other Hera Group companies allows business customers to access additional services based on the circular economy, such as energy and water efficiency plans, that sit alongside those implemented by Hera regarding waste treatment.
