Improvement in all economic-financial and sustainability indicators The 2016 financial year came to an end for the Hera Group with all economic-financial indicators rising compared to 2015, and with results more positive than expected. Particularly encouraging, this outcome was reached thanks to the Group’s consolidated multi-business strategy, that allowed it to successfully balance regulated and free-market activities, maintaining all the while a sustainable risk profile. The combination of two fundamental levers, internal growth and M&A, furthermore allowed the Group to continue along its path of expansion, in spite of an increasingly challenging context involving regulatory and market factors. These results furthermore confirm the attention given to sustainability, in all its various forms: environmental, social and economic. Revenues amounting to roughly € 4.5 billion Revenues amounted to € 4,460.2 million in 2016, in line with the € 4,487.0 million seen in the previous year. This result includes lesser revenues in regulated services, caused by recent regulatory changes, and lesser revenues in electricity and gas sales and trading, following a drop in the price of raw materials. These negative effects were however almost entirely compensated by changes in the scope of operations and by the revenues produced by higher volumes of gas sold and waste disposed of, in addition to higher revenues for production activities on the dispatch market. EBITDA grows, amounting to € 916.6 million EBITDA rose to € 916.6 million, a clear increase over the € 884.4 seen in 2015 (+3.6%). This growth was sustained by all the main businesses in the company’s portfolio. The waste management area generated positive growth, benefiting among other things from the acquisitions of Geo Nova and Waste Recycling, and thus more than offset both the temporary suspension of a few landfills and the expiry of incentives for renewables concerning some WTE plants. The energy areas recorded higher profit margins deriving from power plants and a good performance of the sales and trading business. The network areas also generated sufficient internal growth to almost offset the over € 31 million reduction in return on regulated invested capital and the effect of inflation. Growth in operating results and pre-tax profits, improvements in financial management Operating profits rose to € 457.1 million, over the € 442.2 seen in 2015 (+3.4%), while pre-tax profits increased to € 339.6 million, against the € 307.9 seen in 2015 (+10.3%), thanks to improvements in financial management amounting to roughly € 17 million compared to the previous year. These positive performances were due above all to a decrease in average debt, efficiency in rates and higher earnings involving recovery of default indemnities from safeguarded customers. Net profits post minorities grow to over € 207 million (+14.8%) Profits pertaining to Group Shareholders rose to € 207.3 million, up 14.8% compared to the € 180.5 million seen in 2015, partially due to a considerable improvement of the tax rate, which went from 36.9% to 35.1% (thanks to the benefits derived from the application of the “patent box” and tax credits for research and development, in addition to tax concessions for maxi amortisations). Due weight must also be given to the negative and non-recurring effect felt by the 2015 tax rate caused by the adjustment of deferred taxes to the new IRES rate of 24%, in force as of 2017. Investments for roughly € 390 million, net debt/EBITDA ratio improves to 2.8 In 2016, Group investments amounted to € 366.4 million. Including € 20.3 million in capital grants, overall Group investments came to € 386.7 million, up compared to the previous year and mainly destined to interventions on plants, networks and infrastructures. Adaptations to regulatory standards also contributed, above all concerning gas distribution, with a large-scale meter substitution project, and the purification and sewerage area. Net debt for 2016 amounted to € 2,558.9 million, with a reduction of roughly € 100 million from the € 2,651.7 seen in 2015, thanks to the generation of positive cash flows that proved able to finance M&As and entirely cover annual dividend payments in June (for a total of € 132 million). The net debt/EBITDA ratio fell to 2.8, an improvement compared to the previous year; this ratio benefited from both growth in operating results and a decrease in net debt. Further improvement in the Group’s sustainability profile These strictly economic results are flanked by data providing evidence of an efficient use of resources (for example, the use of landfills for urban waste is considerable lower than the 10% set as an objective for 2030 by the EU), a reduction in environmental impact (the carbon footprint in energy production fell by 10%), an increase in sorted waste (now 56.4%) and in packaging recycling (now 64%, close to the EU’s 2025 objective), attention given to energy efficiency and a continuous improvement of customer services. All of this confirms the high consideration shown by the Group towards all stakeholders and the area in which it operates. Lastly, the Group’s economic value for the geographical area served now comes to over € 1.7 billion, thanks to greater investments and expanded economic activities, while the portion of EBITDA identified as “shared value” has been calculated for the first time, amounting to € 300 million, roughly one third of the Group Ebitda. Proposed dividend of 9 cents/share The Board of Directors, in light of the results achieved and the solidity of the Group’s assets, has decided to put to the Shareholders Meeting to be held on 27 April a dividend of 9 cents per share, as anticipated by the business plan. The ex-dividend date has been set at 19 June 2017, with payment as of 21 June 2017. Gas The gas area, which includes services in natural gas distribution and sales, district heating and heat management, recorded an EBITDA which rose slightly to € 300.6 million, in line with the € 299.5 million seen in 2015. This result was obtained mainly thanks to an increase in the volume of gas sold and the contribution coming from district heating, offsetting lesser revenues in both trading and regulated services, with a reduction in the rate of return having a negative effect on the latter amounting to € 9.8 million. These results were also sustained by the recent acquisitions of Julia Servizi and Gran Sasso, two Abruzzo-based companies involved in gas and electricity sales, that contributed to enlarging the customer base roughly 30,000 clients. Due among other things to commercial and customer loyalty initiatives, at the end of 2016 the number of gas customers had risen to roughly 1.4 million. In 2016, investments in the gas area came to € 94.8 million, with an increase of € 5.2 million compared to 2015, mainly destined to a large-scale meter substitution, non-recurring maintenance on networks and plants, and interventions involving cathodic protection of the gas networks in the areas surrounding Padova and Trieste. The gas area accounted for 32.8% of Group EBITDA. Water cycle The integrated water cycle area, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, recorded an EBITDA of € 228.8 million, compared to the € 232.5 million seen in 2015, almost entirely compensating, with the operational efficiencies set in place over the year, for the negative impact of inflation and the reduction in the rate of return on invested capital, which came to € 18.4 million. Net investments in the integrated water cycle area amounted to € 111.8 million. Including capital grants, investments in this area came to € 131.8 million (increasing compared to the € 127.2 seen in 2015), of which € 61.5 million in the aqueduct, € 37.6 million in sewerage and € 32.7 million in purifying. The integrated water cycle area accounted for 25.0% of Group EBITDA. Waste management EBITDAfor the waste management area, which includes waste collection, treatment and disposal services, settled at € 230.7 million, a slight improvement compared to 2015 which more than offset both the temporary suspension of plants currently being enlarged (the Ravenna landfill became operational again in August, as did the Tremonti landfill, located in the area surrounding Imola, in late December) and the expiry of incentives for renewables concerning two WTE plants. The results were also sustained by the contribution coming from the acquisitions made in late 2015 of Waste Recycling and the Geo Nova plants, which gave a considerable impulse to industrial waste management, with a 16.9% increase in the amount of market waste. Volumes of urban waste also recorded a slight increase (+0.3%). Results in the field of sorted urban waste were positive, rising to 56.4% compared to the 55.4% seen in 2015, thanks to a wide number of projects implemented in all geographical areas served. The waste management area accounted for25.2% of Group EBITDA. Electricity area The electricity area, which includes services in electricity production, distribution and sales, recorded an EBITDA of € 135.3 million, a sharp increase over the € 101.0 million seen in 2015. The negative impact on electricity services of the resolution concerning return on regulated revenues (€ 2.9 million) was more than offset by higher earnings in sales activities and higher profit margins in electricity production, in addition to continued commercial expansion in the free market. Confirming the trend seen in recent years, the number of electricity customers reached over 880,000 (+2.7% compared to 2015), mainly owing to a reinforcement of commercial action and an enlargement of the customer base thanks to the acquisition of the Abruzzo companies Gran Sasso and Julia Servizi. The electricity area accounted for a larger amount of Group EBITDA than in the previous year, 14.8%. Statement by Executive Chairman Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano “The results recorded are all the more admirable considering the outstanding challenges that marked the reference scenario throughout the year, with a positive contribution coming from all growth levers, both internal and external. They furthermore represent a solid foundation, providing the premises to pursue the uninterrupted growth foreseen in the business plan to 2020, already approved by the Board of Directors, matched by a progressive increase in dividends per share, coming to 11% over the duration of the plan.” Statement by CEO Stefano Venier “A year rich in significant results, strived for and achieved coherently over time, has come to a close. This outcome is attested to not only by the economic-financial indicators, which improved appreciably, but above all by the excellent operating performances and the quality of the industrial initiatives implemented in order to attain long-lasting and sustainable growth in both the company’s worth and the social value it generates.” 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 financial statement and related materials will be available to the public pursuant to the terms established by law at the Company Headquarters, on the website www.gruppohera.it and on the authorised storage platform 1Info (www.1info.it ), within 5 April 2016.

2017-03-06 870_Aliplast.1501171634.jpg Thanks to this operation, whose enterprise value amounts to roughly € 100 million, the Hera Group confirms its position among Italy's leaders in recycling and developing a circular economy. http://ha.gruppohera.it/ Herambiente Authorisation has been granted by the Italian antitrust authority (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato, AGCM) for the acquisition carried out by Herambiente, a company of the Hera Group and a nationwide leader in waste treatment and recovery, of the Treviso company Aliplast, an outstanding operator in the sector of plastic waste collection and recycling with subsequent regeneration. The implementation of the agreement, signed last 11 January by Herambiente and Aligroup S.r.l., was in fact subject to conditions that are the norm for similar operations, among which gaining authorisation for the acquisition from antitrust authorities. As foreseen by the agreement, Herambiente and Aliplast will therefore undertake all that is required to purchase 40% of Aliplast's shares in the upcoming weeks. A further 40% will be acquired within March 2018 and the remaining 20% within June 2022. The operation's enterprise value, it should be recalled, amounts to roughly € 100 million and implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 6.5, non-dilutive for Hera shareholders. This important operation, complementary to those finalised in late 2015 involving Waste Recycling (Castelfranco di Sotto, Pisa) and the environmental assets of Geo Nova (Treviso) as well as the more recent acquisition of the Teseco plants (Pisa), is part of a move to enlarge the geographical area in which the Hera Group operates, initiated some years ago and in line with the Group's strategies of territorial expansion and integration. Falling under the objective of developing a green model, towards which the Hera Group has actively contributed over its entire history, the acquisition of Aliplast furthermore consolidates Herambiente's market presence with a distinctive and unique element, in line with the principles of a circular economy in which waste is transformed into resources. Herambiente is among the first companies in the waste sector to have decided to take on the challenges raised by changes currently taking place in the world of industry. It is thus able to place activities such as waste recovery, treatment and disposal alongside others that call for the utmost efficiency in resource management. It is also able to offer strategic advice concerning resource lifecycle productivity in order to accelerate and facilitate the achievement of 2030 sustainability goals. These are, incidentally, objectives that Herambiente has already achieved in the areas it serves in managing urban waste, of which only 8.5% was disposed of in landfills in 2015. Established in 1982 by Roberto Alibardi and operating out of Ospedaletto di Istrana (Treviso), Aliplast is a national centre of excellence in plastic industrial waste collection and recycling and regenerated polymer production, with over 80,000 tonnes of plastic materials recycled every year. It was the first enterprise in Italy to fully integrate the entire lifecycle of plastic, from environmental services in managing and collecting industrial packaging and residues to production and market sales of manufactured goods and packaging materials, produced with plastic recycled by the company itself. Over three hundred employees work for Aliplast, distributed among its five plants located in Italy and three found abroad (Spain, France and Poland). Its main clients include the most important Italian brands involved in food & beverages, home furnishings and ceramics.

2017-01-30 Thanks to the purchase made by Group subsidiary Waste Recycling of the plant sector of the Pisa company Teseco, a primary figure in industrial waste treatment and recovery, Herambiente, a national leader in this sector, will further expand its commercial offer and enlarge its already significant range of plants. Waste Recycling, a Tuscan company belonging to the Hera Group and 100% controlled by Herambiente, has purchased the plant sector of Teseco. The company is based in Pisa, and is a leading actor in industrial waste treatment and recovery with over 30 years of experience in the sector of special waste and innovative plants (spread out over an overall area of 126,000 m2, over 30,000 of which are covered). The purchase was conducted by Group subsidiary Waste Recycling, given that the latter has been managing for over 25 years, and with similar efficiency, complementary types of treatment in its production plants in Santa Croce sull'Arno and Castelfranco di Sotto, in the province of Pisa. This operation allows, on the one hand, a considerable segment of production in the Pisa area to be conserved and maintained active, and on the other enlarges both Herambiente's overall set of plants and the services it offers to its clients, reinforcing its leadership in waste treatment and recovery. It is furthermore part of a larger goal, which consists in broadening the Hera Group's operational area, initiated years ago and in line with the Group's strategy of geographical expansion and integration. By way of its authorisations, the quantity of waste it is able to manage, and the treatments plants at its disposal, Waste Recycling, with this operation, confirms its status as one of the nation's most important actors in the sector of industrial waste, enriching and rounding off the numerous services it offers to middle and large companies. At the same time, Herambiente will further increase its own client portfolio, through this preference given to commercial reinforcement in a region in which it is already active.

2017-01-11 870_Aliplast.1501171634.jpg The Ospedaletto di Istrana (Treviso) company, a national leader in plastic recycling, becomes part of the Hera Group, which thus confirms itself as one of Italy's foremost protagonists in recycling and in the development of a circular economy. Herambiente purchases Aliplast http://ha.gruppohera.it/ Herambiente Herambiente, a Hera Group company and national leader in waste treatment and recovery, has signed a binding agreement with Aligroup S.r.l. to purchase the Aliplast Group, a widely recognised protagonist in Italy in the sector of collecting and recycling plastic waste, whose subsequent regeneration is part of an integrated process that transforms waste into products available for reuse. The operation regards the acquisition of Aliplast shares, following a path that calls for 40% to be purchased within the current fiscal year, a further 40% within March 2018 and the remaining 20% within June 2022. The operation's enterprise value amounts to roughly € 100 million and implies an EV/EBITDA multiple of approximately 6.5, with no dilution for Hera shareholders. The price furthermore provides for an additional component going to Aligroup S.r.l., defined as an earn-out provided upon reaching specific incremental results in EBITDA. The agreement's implementation is subject to the usual conditions for similar operations, in particular theItalian Antitrust Authority's authorisation or non-prohibition of the purchase. For the Aliplast Group, which processes over 80,000 tonnes of plastic material per year, a turnover of over € 100 million and an EBITDA of over € 15 million are expected for 2016. This important operation further accentuates the shift, which has been underway for some time, from disposal to recycling and recovery, with a view to optimising resource usage. It is part of the Hera Group's ongoing efforts to broaden the boundaries within which it operates, a goal which has been pursued for years and is in line with its strategy of geographical expansion and integration. With this operation, complementary to the ones involving Waste Recycling (Tuscany) and the environmental assets of Geo Nova (Treviso) carried out in late 2015, Herambiente will further expand its industrial client portfolio. At the same time, it will enrich its own commercial offer with a distinctive, even unique factor which is able to accelerate and facilitate the achievement of sustainability goals in 2020. Herambiente has thus established itself as a trustworthy partner, provided with expertise in managing all forms of industrial waste and able to offer efficient solutions with a complete set of services and processes aimed at creating value. Established in 1982 by Roberto Alibardi, Aliplast is a national centre of excellence, a market leader in collecting plastic industrial waste and recycling and producing regenerated polymers. It was the first enterprise in Italy to fully integrate the entire life cycle of plastic, from environmental services in managing and collecting industrial residues to production and market sales of manufactured goods and packaging materials, produced with plastic recycled by the company itself. Over 300 employees work in five plants in Italy and three abroad (Spain, France and Poland). The company headquarters is located in Ospedaletto di Istrana (Treviso). Its main clients include the most important Italian brands dealing with food & beverages, home furnishings and ceramics. For this operation, the Hera Group turned to the legal services of Studio Grimaldi and the financial services of Lazard, while the Aligroup Group was supported bySpecial Affairs, through its partner Domenico Greco, acting as industrial and financial advisor for the operation, andAllen&Overy for the operation's legal aspects. "In addition to further consolidating the Group's perimeter, this operation finds its place alongside the many initiatives implemented by Hera in promoting a circular economy", states Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Chairman of the Hera Group. "We have already reached some of the significant strategic objectives set by the European Union for 2025-2030, and our desire to continue along this path leads us to believe in the importance of integrating enterprises that have achieved levels of efficiency and excellence that enable us to meet the challenges that await us. Aliplast perfectly fulfils these requisites and we are certain that it will be able to offer an original contribution of its own, oriented above all towards innovation." "Aliplast has developed over the years thanks to the quality and competitiveness of its products, and I believe that becoming part of a leading protagonist in environmental services such as the Hera Group will bring further benefits to our clients as well", explains Roberto Alibardi, Administrator and principal shareholder of Aliplast. "We have now shared a Business plan with our new associate, and our respective outlooks on strategic development are perfectly in line with one another, making it only natural for us to remain within the enterprise, acting as manager in the upcoming years." press_release.1484130340.pdf 2016-04-05 14:08:00 Herambiente purchases Aliplast

2017-01-11 slider_870x320_pi.1484127295.jpg Solidly based on data from the 2016 forecast, the new Plan confirms the Group's track record of growth and responds to the most recent changes in the utility sector. Efficiency and innovative solutions fuelling organic growth to be pursued alongside opportunities for development through M&As. /documents/1514726/4210761/press_release_business_plan_2020.1484132258.pdf/09f9670d-d9eb-1914-9fce-c6096734d6f7?t=1597911202412 /documents/1514726/4210761/Hera_Newsletter_PI_2016_20_eng.1484131469.pdf/39bab324-7519-dfd6-a8c6-03d239a212fe?t=1597911202904 /documents/1514726/4210761/Analyst_Presentation_Business_Plan_2016_20.1484137188.pdf/997bb4c9-4305-6b11-1494-b9ba1f74efc8?t=1597911203992 null Press release Newsletter: business plan to 2020 Analyst presentation: business plan to 2020 null Operating and financial highlights 2020 EBITDA: € 1,080 million Capital expenditures and financial investments: almost € 2.5 billion Net financial position/EBITDA ratio to improve, reaching 2.8 by 2020 Net profits per share to grow by roughly 5% annually over the duration of the Plan Dividends expected to increase, as of 2017, reaching 10 cents per share in 2020 (+11%) Operating highlights 5 strategic priorities: growth, efficiency, excellence, innovation and agility Group development based on a balanced mix of organic growth and M&As Current grants confirmed in tenders for gas distribution and urban hygiene Objective for 2020 energy customers set at 2.4 million Growth in line with sector trends: Circular Economy and Shared Value, Customer Experience, Industry 4.0 Forecast indicating over € 905 million in EBITDA at year-end 2016, and a plan designed for growth This morning the Hera Group's Board of Directors, who met to approve the Business plan to 2020, also examined the 2016 forecast, which consolidate a year-end EBITDA of over € 905 million (compared to the € 884 million recorded at 31 December 2015), higher than analysts' consensus and entirely compensating for the negative effects ensuing from the reduction in regulated returns (WACC) and the expiry of incentives on renewables. On the solid basis of these excellent results, the Plan approved today, in line with the previous strategic document, confirms the path of growth pursued by the Group in recent years. Hinged on organic growth and M&A, it is aimed at consolidating the competitive advantages accumulated over the years and seizing the new potential market opportunities. Operational objectives increase, financial asset indicators improve From an operational-financial standpoint, the Plan foresees a 2020 EBITDA amounting to € 1,080 million, with a net increase of roughly € 200 million compared to the € 884 million recorded at the end of 2015. A well-distributed, balanced growth of the activity portfolio is also expected, maintaining a low risk profile. As always, the Plan's financial sustainability will be guaranteed: in spite of an over one billion euro increase in invested capital (caused among other things by almost 2.5 billion in Capex over 2016-2020), the net financial position to EBITDA ratio at 2020 will see further improvement, dropping to 2.8, compared to the 3 seen in 2015. In addition to enhanced financial management, with an average cost of debt expected to decrease from 3.7% to 3.5% and an average length of eight years, benefits are expected to be derived from fiscal management and the recent stability law, with its decreased corporate income tax. Another of the Plan's objectives is to maintain the credit ratings assigned to Hera by Standard&Poor's and Moody's, which at present are already among the best in the sector and throughout Italy. The initiatives foreseen by the Group are founded on its consolidated cornerstones of efficiency, excellence, growth and innovation, but will also turn to the new strategic tool of agility, now held to be indispensable in order to react incisively within the increasingly dynamic and challenging context faced by utility companies. The Plan to 2020 has furthermore been elaborated so as to respond in the best possible way to industrial trends emerging from rationales such as Circular Economy and Shared Value, with respect to which the Hera Group has offered a tangible contribution to reaching 10 of the 17 objectives of the UN Agenda. Other key elements include the new needs of clientele, to be met with new solutions, and the most recent changes involving Industry 4.0 and processes of digitalisation, data gathering and analysis and diffusion in our cities of "intelligent" infrastructures. In a sector undergoing profound transformations, it will become indispensable for the Group to count on its own solidity and efficiency in order to remain astride these trends and continue to reinforce its own leadership. An increasingly dynamic context The context in which utility companies find themselves operating involves markets that evolve rapidly, or are in any case marked by significant novelties on more than one front. As regards regulations, the current framework offers greater opportunities in terms of development and stability compared to the past, but also requires operators in the sector to sustain higher investments (e.g. electronic gas and electricity meters, gas tenders, service quality), in order to anticipate and remain in line with the aforementioned trends regarding changes in the sector. The macroeconomic context, while not yet reaching its expected performance in terms of growth, now shows encouraging signs, above all in the main geographic areas served by the Group: Emilia Romagna and Veneto stood out in 2016 for their growth in GDP, above the national average. Competitive pressure among utility companies will become stronger, not only in "free market" activities but also in most of the other activities in the Group's portfolio, given the many public tenders that will be announced over the duration of the Plan to assign services in Gas Distribution, Urban Hygiene, Public Lighting and the safeguarded/administrated clientele in the sector of energy sales. The increase in competition, along with the impetus created by the reform of Public Administration andLocal Public Services, lastly, will be able to create the conditions for a progressive consolidation of the sector, overcoming the system's shortcomings as regards overall efficiency and industrialisation. Roughly € 200 million of growth in EBITDA, thanks to efficiency and external growth, with dividends progressively increasing The Group's business model has been confirmed, with the objective of a 2020 EBITDA equal to € 1,080 million, i.e. € 50 million higher than the 2019 target included in the previous Plan, with significant growth coming in 2017-2018. The increase in EBITDA over the duration of the Plan amounts to almost € 200 million compared to 2015, obtained thanks to a balanced contribution coming from internal and external growth. The strong attention given to creating efficiencies and synergies will be the preponderant factor fuelling the Group's organic growth between 2015 and 2020. Over 20 million synergies are expected to come from the most recent changes in the Group's scope of operation, with efficiency-boosting interventions reaching over 80 million, distributed among all the sectors in which the Group operates in addition to its "corporate" activities. Efficiency will also be pursued by introducing innovative technologies: from using data gathered on the field to optimise activities such as collection and sweeping, to searching for leakage in water networks with advanced satellite monitoring systems. Further stimulus towards growth will come in 2017-2018 from safeguarded electricity and default gas services and, following this, from gas tenders, with an expected EBITDA of € 27 million, were the Group to be confirmed as manager for its reference territories. Thanks to these results, Hera will be able to absorb and more than compensate for the negative effects (reaching over € 50 million) tied to the recent reduction in incentives for renewable energy production and the rate of return on invested capital in regulated businesses (WACC). Net of these non-recurring effects, an even more significant organic growth would have been witnessed. As regards development through acquisitions, the average annual contribution coming from M&As called for in the Plan is in line with the past. Regarding mergers with multi-utility businesses, faced with a potential customer pool largely defined by a rationale based on geographical proximity, the Hera Group will be able to count on its role as a centre of aggregation within the region in question, a role it has reinforced with the many M&A operations carried out in its first fifteen years of activity. In liberalised sectors as well, as of early 2017 the Group intends to continue seizing acquisition opportunities involving mono-business companies, as it already had in 2016 in the waste and energy sectors. Lastly, the Group's high degree of attention towards creating value for shareholders has also been confirmed, with a gradual improvement over the duration of the Plan in financial return on invested capital (ROI) and on equity (ROE), profits per share expected to grow by an annual average of roughly 5%, and transparent dividend policies increasing with respect to the Group's historical trend. As of 2017, in fact, dividends per share are expected to rise to 9.5 cents and, as of 2019, to 10 cents (+11%). Investments totalling almost 2.5 billion in five years The Plan is sustained by highly significant investments, coming to roughly € 2.5 billion (€ 250 million more than in the previous strategic document), which will help fuel growth over the five-year period, but also initiate the transformation of the Group's activities towards new industrial paradigms such as Circular Economy and Industry 4.0. Networks will receive approximately 70% of 2016-2020 investments, including roughly € 350 million dedicated to gas tenders and other important infrastructure modernisation interventions such as replacing meters with electronic devices or completing the Rimini seawater protection plan and the Servola purifier. The investment program will continue to be sustainable from a financial point of view, thanks to a positive and growing cash flow, sufficient to cover both the investments themselves and dividend payments, in addition to allowing financial solidity to improve and remain sufficiently flexible to sustain other mono-business acquisitions not included within the Business plan. Networks: smart infrastructures underlying the Industry 4.0 model The greatest growth in terms of industry is expected from networks: EBITDA resulting from gas and electricity distribution, water cycle and district heating services will go from € 428 million in 2015 to € 533 million in 2020, when it will represent almost half of the Group's overall earnings. Growth in the entire area will be based on achieving operational efficiencies and synergies and on the recognition reserved to operators able to provide excellent services in the water cycle, but also on optimising existing assets in district heating. By gradually digitalising network infrastructures and applying state-of-the-art technologies (smart metering, IoT, network modelling, use of drones, etc.), the Group will reach new levels of excellence, which will lead to reducing operating costs, optimising resources and improving service quality. The date at which gas tenders will be assigned is also approaching, and the Group aims at confirming its presence in the areas already served, for an overall increase of its gas network corresponding to roughly 290,000 delivery points, matched by a higher value of the distribution networks managed (RAB). Over the duration of the Plan, almost € 1.7 billion in investments will be allocated to networks. Waste: development increasingly based on recovery By 2020 the waste cycle will account for 27% of the earnings generated by the Group, with EBITDA expected to grow from € 230 million in 2015 to € 289 million in 2020. The Group's attention towards issues involved in Circular Economy has been confirmed: even though, with 9% of urban waste destined to landfills in 2015, Hera had already reached the objective set by the European Union for 2030, the Group expects to drop as low as 6% by 2020. Similarly, the Plan foresees that 75% of packaging will be recycled by 2020, anticipating the deadlines set by the EU by ten years. One important challenge in the area of collection services lies in public tenders for assigning urban hygiene services in Emilia Romagna. The Group aims at confirming its presence in the areas already served, thanks among other things to the important innovative projects already introduced to increase service efficiency and thus allow the costs incurred by customers to be contained, with an increased target for sorted waste, set for 2020 at an average of roughly 66% across the areas served by the Group. Existing plants for waste disposal, treatment and recovery will be developed so as to respond to the increase in sorted waste and further development of recycling. Thanks to its overall plant structure, indeed, the Group has stood out for years as the reference figure for this market, able to offer all-inclusive services even to its most demanding customers. Commercial activity development through to 2020 will furthermore be able to count on the relations already established with recently acquired companies, with synergies coming from a few customer segments not previously served by the Group. In the same direction, new initiatives in waste treatment and recovery have been included, such as the S. Agata Bolognese plant, one of the first in Italy to produce biomethane. Investments dedicated to waste services will amount to € 546 million. Energy: the currently solid customer base to be reinforced by attention towards Customer Experience The energy area will increase its earnings from € 205 million in 2015 to € 226 million in 2020, as a result of commercial strategies, an energy context expected to recover slightly in upcoming years and the growing interest shown by household, industrial and public customers towards the energy services and energy efficiency offers that the Group is now able to propose. Hera's care towards energy savings has moreover driven the Group itself to set a series of objectives, including reduced consumption within corporate structures aimed at reducing its own consumption by 5% within 2020. Already today, Hera can rely on the almost 2.2 million energy customers it has built up over time. The initiatives set into place in upcoming years will increase this number to roughly 2.4 million, with a growth target in line with the rate of expansion seen in the past (about 50,000 customers per year), and will furthermore be accompanied by contracts involving opportunities for acquisitions. In the two-year period 2017-2018, these results will also be sustained by the tenders recently awarded to the Group for safeguarded customers in electricity and default gas, two areas in which Hera was recognised as the leader, producing an important operative contribution also regarding cash flow. Hera's clientele has demonstrated its satisfaction over the years, with significantly lower abandonment rates compared to national competitors. And yet, customer requests are rapidly changing thanks to digitisation and currently ongoing technological revolutions, something the Group has fully born in mind while developing its own Plan. Customers will be ever more attentive to the possibility of obtaining information from a wide range of supports (smartphone, PC, etc.) or receiving services and offers increasingly designed to meet their own specific needs: Hera will be able to fully meet these requests thanks to its growing attention towards each customer's experience and the introduction of innovative technologies supporting the changes introduced in its own CRM system. Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Hera Chairman "Our recently approved Plan confirms a steady path of growth, sustained by traditional tools geared towards enhanced efficiency and growth by acquisitions, all reinforced by the use of new technologies. Improvements in our financial solidity will allow us on the one hand to confirm and further improve the dividend policy pursued in recent years, and on the other to consider the deep transformations currently seen in the sector as a further opportunity for development, potentially involving M&As, as has been the case in the past." Stefano Venier, Hera CEO "Innovation, sustainability and energy efficiency are only a few of the issues addressed by our Business Plan, which is intent on making the most of new trends such as Industry 4.0, Circular Economy and Customer Experience. Our leadership in the main reference markets has been confirmed, sustained by the competitive advantages that we have built up over the years, making us fully prepared to take on ever-changing challenges. This Plan as well has been elaborated in full respect of the financial balance that has defined us until present, with the aim of reinforcing on the one hand our credit standing while maintaining a low risk profile, and on the other continuing to create value for all our stakeholders, guaranteeing the financial flexibility best suited for further developments." 2017-01-09 14:07:49 Il Gruppo Hera approva il Piano industriale al 2020

2016-11-25 approvvigionamento_elettrico.1501233137.png Around 500 million Euros in estimated annual turnover, with resultant positive effects in terms of operating profit. The Hera Group company will manage this service in the 2017-2018 two-year period for approximately 45,000 supply points, supplying a total of over 2 TWh of energy per year From 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2018, the Hera Group's sales company Hera Comm will manage electricity services for safeguarded customers in eleven regions: Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Tuscany, the Marche, Umbria, Sardinia, Campania, Abruzzo, Calabria and Sicily, which correspond to six contract areas in the national Single Buyer competitive contracting process. This service covers approximately 45,000 supply points for safeguarded customers in the regulated market, for approximately 2.2 TWh of total energy. The annual turnover deriving from the management of this service is estimated at approximately 500 million Euros, which is over 50 million more than the previous period and will result in a significant improvement in the performance of the Hera Group in electricity sales both in terms of EBITDA (which amounted to 65 million Euros in 2015) and operating profit. The service of supplying electricity to safeguarded customers, which Hera has managed since 2009, involves public administrations and specific businesses with more than 50 employees or more than 10 million Euros of turnover or companies that utilize medium voltage and have not chosen a provider on the unregulated market or are temporarily without a provider. Hera Comm was chosen to provide electricity to safeguarded customers in these 11 regions due to its economically advantageous offer. This is an important achievement that joins others such as Hera's recently being awarded the natural gas default service for end customers for the October 1, 2016 - September 30, 2018 period in the same number of regions (Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige, Tuscany, the Marche, Umbria, Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Liguria and Lombardy). In this way the Hera Group confirms its leading place among energy providers on the Italian stage, with over 2.1 million energy customers served, a fifth-place position among electricity providers at the national level (with over 9.6 TWh of electricity sold in 2015 ) and a fourth-place position in natural gas sales (with approximately 3.4 billion cubic meters of gas sold). As Stefano Venier, CEO of the Hera Group, has stated: "We are proud to have won this competitive bidding process, as we won the default gas one, because it represents an important step forward in terms of developing our commercial services. The experience we have gained in this sector over the past seven years will allow us to offer businesses and PA our professionalism and expertise in the management of a major market share of energy customers throughout Italy." _press_release.1480324424.pdf 2016-10-06 07:15:00 Hera Comm si aggiudica la gara per l'approvvigionamento elettrico in regime di salvaguardia in 11 regioni

Financial and fiscal management, in particular, contributed to supporting growth in results by allowing increased investments to appear alongside a further reduction in debt, while entirely financing M&As and the payment of annual dividends. Note that the Hera Group has voluntarily decided to publish its interim financial statements, as in the past, taking into account the high value it gives to communicating with the market. Revenues at € 3,104.8 million In the third quarter of 2016, revenues amounted to € 3,104.8 million, dropping compared to the € 3,246.4 million seen at 30 September 2015. The reasons for this decrease include lower revenues in regulated services caused by recent regulatory changes, lower revenues from electricity, gas sales and trading. The drop was however partially compensated by both higher volumes of gas sold and revenues in the waste management area, above all in the third quarter. EBITDA increases, reaching € 650.6 million Group EBITDA at 30 September 2016 grew from € 640.2 to € 650.6 million (+1.6%), thanks in particular to the contribution of the electricity business. This result is particularly significant considering that in the first nine months of 2016 the overall outcome of lower revenues in gas, electricity and water distribution amounted to € 25.6 million (respectively: 14.9 in water, 8.5 in gas and 2.2 in electricity), following reductions in the rate of return on invested capital in regulated sectors and inflation. EBIT and pre-tax profits rise EBIT increased to € 329.2 million (+3.8%), while pre-tax profits rose to € 239.1 million (+9.5% compared to the € 218.4 seen at 30 September 2015), thanks among other things to improvements in financial management. At 30 September 2016 the results of financial management in fact came to € 90.2 million, dropping compared to the € 98.8 recorded at 30 September 2015 (-8.7%), owing to lower average debt and greater efficiency in interest rates, obtained thanks to the renegotiation of a few loans, in addition to an optimisation of cash and cash equivalents. The new bond issued in early October allowed Hera to obtain € 400 million in financing, with a 10 year maturity and a cost below 1%. Net profit post minorities at € 142.2 million (+13.8%) Due to a tax rate coming to 36.5%, a noteworthy improvement compared to the same period in the previous year (thanks to the benefits ensuing from the application of the “patent box” and tax credits for research and development, as well as tax concessions for maxi amortisations), net profits rose by 12.5%, going from € 134.9 million at 30 September 2015 to € 151.8 million at 30 September 2016. In the first nine months of 2016, net profit post minorities rose to € 142.2 million, with a 13.8% increase over the € 125.0 million seen at 30 September 2015. Over € 250 million in investments and an improved net financial position Group investments in the first nine months of 2016, including € 10.5 million in capital grants, amounted to € 251.5 million, growing by roughly € 20 million compared to the same period in 2015 and in line with the results forecast in the business plan. The water business accounted for € 93.1 million of the above and gas business for € 64.1 million. Investments were made above all in plants, networks and infrastructures, in addition to regulatory upgrading chiefly in gas distribution (with a large-scale substitution of gas metres) and in purification and sewerage. The Group’s net financial position at 30 September settled at € 2,567.0 million, improving compared to the € 2,651.7 recorded at 31 December 2015 thanks to the creation of positive cash flows which, in addition to financing M&As and entirely covering annual dividend payments in June (coming to € 132 million overall), provided room for a reduction in debt. Gas EBITDA of the gas business, which includes services in natural gas and LPG distribution and sales, district heating and heat management, came to € 186.5 million at 30 September 2016, down from the € 205.6 million at 30 September 2015, mainly due to a slight decrease in trading and the impact of the regulation that modified the method used in calculating the rate of return on invested capital for infrastructure services in the gas sector. These results were also sustained by the recent acquisition of Julia Servizi, a company operating in the Abruzzo region in gas and electricity sales and by the acquisition, once again in Abruzzo, of Gran Sasso, active in the same field, whose effects will be felt beginning in the final quarter of the current financial year. The gas business accounts for 28.7% of Group EBITDA. Water The figures seen in the water business, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, are in line with those recorded in the same period in 2015, with EBITDA stable at € 173.7 million as compared to € 174.7 million at 30 September 2015. The negative impact of the reduction in the rate of return and the redefinition of revenue restrictions, amounting to € 10.9 million, was almost entirely compensated by the operational efficiency achieved during the period in question. The water business accounts for 26.7% of Group EBITDA. Waste The results in the waste business, which includes services in collecting, treating, recovering and disposing of waste, also confirmed those of the previous year, with EBITDA going from € 172.5 million at 30 September 2015 to € 172.2 million at 30 September 2016. The results of the third quarter were particularly significant, as was, more generally, the contribution coming from the acquisition in late 2015 of Waste Recycling and the Geo Nova plants, which underpinned the special waste sector and compensated for the temporary closure of landfills currently being enlarged (the Ravenna landfill reopened in August). Good results also came from sorted waste collection, which rose to 55.8% of the total, compared to the 54.9% seen in the first nine months of 2015, thanks to the wide range of projects implemented across all areas served. The waste business accounts for 26.5% of Group EBITDA. Electricity EBITDA pertaining to the electricity business, which includes services in electric generation, distribution and sales, grew from € 72.7 million in Q3 2015 to € 104.3 million at 30 September 2016. The negative impact on the electricity services coming from the resolution on revenues and EBITDA (€ 2.2 million in the first nine months) was more than compensated by greater margins in both sales activities and electricity production, including the related dispatching services, as well as by continuous commercial expansion on the free market. The electricity area accounts for 16.0% of Group EBITDA. 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.

2016-10-06 heracomm_gransasso.1501232997.png The Hera Group consolidates its presence in the Abruzzo region, purchasing the gas and electricity sales company active primarily in the areas surrounding L'Aquila, Pescara and Chieti 100% of Gran Sasso goes to Hera Comm The Hera Group's presence in Abruzzo has now grown, thanks to the purchase by Hera Comm of 100% of Gran Sasso, the Gran Sasso Energie company with central offices in Pratola Peligna (in the province of L'Aquila) that is involved in free market gas and electricity sales. Gran Sasso serves approximately 15,000 gas customers and over 3,400 electricity customers, largely concentrated in the areas surrounding L'Aquila, Pescara and Chieti. In 2015 the company's revenues reached € 9.7 million, due to sales of 16.5 million m3 of gas and 8.5 GWh of electricity. Following the takeover, the extant contracts with clients will remain in force and the company will continue to operate in Abruzzowith bespoke personnel and contact channels. This operation contributes to the development of a model that brings together the Group's attention towards customers, seen in its physical presence across the areas served as is typical of local businesses, and the potentiality for innovation in services and offers and the competitiveness that derive from belonging to a Group that, with over 2.1 million customers, is among the foremost operators in the Italian energy market. This model has proven to be particularly effective and appreciated by customers who show a high and constantly growing level of satisfaction, and has led the number of customers to more than double over the past ten years. Hera Comm's experience will thus allow the needs of Gran Sasso's customers as well to be better satisfied, with the new offers and diversified services that will gradually be introduced, beginning in the upcoming months. The purchase of Gran Sasso, which follows upon those of Fucino Gas, Alento Gas and Julia Servizi, prolongs Hera Comm's path of growth in Abruzzo, consolidating its presence in this region by offering electricity and gas services to over 60 thousand clients, who are now to be added to the 155 thousand served in the neighbouring Marche region. "Our widespread presence across the areas served and the flexibility we have maintained, both typical of local businesses, come together with the innovative services and offers tailored to customers' needs, as developed while managing over 2 million customers. These are the keys to success that have led us to more than double our customers over the last ten years", explains Cristian Fabbri, CEO of Hera Comm. "We are convinced that Gran Sasso's current customers as well will appreciate our services and integrated offers". "Gran Sasso developed over the years thanks to the quality of its services and the value of the offers it proposes. We believe that becoming part of a structure as solid and successful as the Hera Group can bring further benefits to our clients" explains Vincenzo Santacroce, Managing Director and owner of Gran Sasso. "Precisely in order to pursue our path of development, we have decided to continue to collaborate with Hera Comm, even following the purchase." The Hera Group is one of Italy's leading multi-utilities, operating in the energy (electricity and gas distribution and sales), waste (collection and treatment) and water (aqueduct, sewerage and purification) sectors. The Group's over 8,500 employees are at work every day in order to meet the numerous needs of 4.4 million citizens in over 350 municipalities, mainly found in the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Abruzzo and Triveneto regions. Hera Comm is the gas and electricity sales company, 100% controlled by Hera Spa, that operates across the nation with over2.1 million customers. press_release.1475770430.pdf 2016-10-06 12:30:00 Hera Group: control of Aliplast reaches 80%

Revenues at € 2,152.7 million In the first half of 2016, revenues reached € 2,152.7 million, with a slight drop from the € 2,213.0 million seen at 30 June 2015 (-2.7%). Various factors are responsible for this decrease, including lower revenues in regulated services, most notably the gas and water cycle areas, owing to recent changes in regulations, lower revenues in electricity and gas sales and trading, due to a fall in the price of raw materials, and, lastly, lower volumes of sales in the gas service caused by the milder temperatures seen in the winter of 2016. EBITDA increases to € 470.1 million EBITDA grew, passing from € 459.1 million at 30 June 2015 to € 470.1 million in the first half of 2016 (+2.4%). This result is particularly significant considering that the semester felt the effects of lesser revenues in the gas, electricity and water distribution for € 17.9 million (5.3 in gas, 1.4 in electricity and 11.1 in water) following a reduction in return on invested capital in regulated sectors. Growth in electricity for € 26.7 million compensated for a decline in the other areas, thanks to both the recoveries involved in tariff application (resolution 654/15/R/eel) and greater margins coming from power plants. EBIT and pre-tax profits both up EBIT rose to € 257.4 million, +5.1% compared to the € 245.0 million seen one year earlier, while pre-tax profits amounted to € 199.4 million, up 8.5% compared to the € 183.7 million recorded at 30 June 2015, partially thanks to an improvement in financial management (down 5.4% compared to the same period in the previous year). These good performances can be traced to both lower average debt and greater efficiency in rates, obtained thanks to the reimbursement of a few loans, as well as an optimisation of cash and cash equivalents. Net profits for shareholders at € 121.0 million (+12.8%) Net profits recorded an 11.1% increase, going from € 115.4 million in the first half of 2015 to € 128.2 million in 2016, due to a reduced tax burden corresponding to an improved tax rate of 35.7%, against 37.2% in the previous year (thanks to the benefits derived from the application of the “patent box” and tax credits for research and development, in addition to tax concessions for maxi amortisations). Profits pertaining to Group Shareholders rose to € 121.0 million, up 12.8% compared to the € 107.3 million seen in the first half of 2015, thanks inter alia to a reduction in minority interests, mainly resulting from the complete acquisition of two subsidiaries in the environment sector. Over € 150 million in investments and a solid financial position, with improvements compared to 2015 In the first half of 2016, the Group’s gross investments amounted to € 157.2 million, in line with the contents of the business plan and mainly involving interventions on plants, networks and infrastructures. Of these, over € 60 million were dedicated to the integrated water cycle and roughly € 40 million to the gas area. The Group’s net financial position at 30 June 2016 decreased from € 2,651.7 million in 2015 to € 2,624.4 at 30 June 2016, mainly thanks to a positive trend in working capital. The positive cash flows generated by management increased and allowed dividend payment in June and M&A activities to be entirely covered. Gas The gas business EBITDA, which includes services in natural gas and LPG distribution and sales, remote heating and heat management, settled in the first half of 2016 at € 162 million, down from the € 172.5 recorded at 30 June 2015, mainly due to lower margins in trading and the negative impact of the mild winter, as well as a resolution that modified the method used to calculate the rate of return on invested capital for infrastructure services in the gas sector. The results were also sustained by the recent acquisition of Julia Servizi, a company in the Abruzzo region operating in gas and electricity sales. The gas business accounts for 34.5% of Group EBITDA. Water In the first half of 2016, the water business, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, recorded a slight drop compared to the same period in 2015, with EBITDA passing from € 107.6 million in the first half of 2015 to € 106.6 million at 30 June 2016. The negative impact of the resolution on revenues and on EBITDA for the WACC effect and the redefinition of the restriction on revenue, came to € 11.1 million, almost entirely compensated by the operative efficiencies implemented over the six months in question and, in particular, a series of optimisations concerning general management costs. The integrated water cycle accounts for 22.7% of Group EBITDA. Waste EBITDA pertaining to the waste business, which includes services in collecting, treating and disposing of waste, went from € 119.8 million in the first half of 2015 to € 116.5 million at 30 June 2016, an essentially stable result in spite of the reduced operating capacities of a few landfills, which are currently being enlarged. Activities related to treatment of special waste showed a 20.1% growth in volume and a further improvement in prices. One fundamental contribution came from the acquisitions, dating to late 2015, of Waste Recycling and the Geonova plants, which gave greater impetus to management of industrial waste and compensated for the temporary closure of landfills presently being expanded (the Ravenna landfill is due to be reopened shortly). Good results also came from separated waste, which rose to 56.9% of the total, compared to the 55.4% seen in the first half of 2015, thanks to the wide range of projects implemented across all areas served. The waste business accounts for 24.8%of Group EBITDA. Electricity The electricity business, which includes services in electricity production, distribution and sales, showed an EBITDA that grew from € 49.6 million for the first six months of the previous year to € 76.3 million at 30 June 2016. The negative impact on electricity services of the resolution on revenues and EBITDA, regarding WACC alone (€ 1.4 million in the first six months), was more than compensated by the balance payments involved in 654/15/R/eel, thanks to a revision of the criteria used for the treatment of investments made in previous years, and the continuous expansion of the customer base. The electricity business accounts for 16.2%of Group EBITDA. Statement by the Executive Chairman, Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano "The figures that appear in the 2016 interim report are once again positive, showing the extent to which the Group has been able to offer its shareholders a solid response in terms of both economic results and financial structure, which is all the more appreciable in light of a macroeconomic context still marked by instability. This outcome was also fuelled by M&A operations, that allowed waste treatment plants to be acquired and increased our customer base". Statement by the CEO, Stefano Venier "We are highly satisfied, in that the operations introduced have led to the good results we expected, allowing us, in only six months, to compensate for the cut in regulated revenues. A good financial and fiscal performance also made it possible for us, in a difficult year, to close the first half with growth in net profits and other main indicators as well as a reduction in debt." 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.

Operating in gas and electricity distribution in Emilia-Romagna, Inrete will serve over 1.1 million gas customers across 140 municipalities, with a gas network totalling approximately 14 thousand km and over 260 thousand electricity customers in 29 municipalities, thanks to an over 10 thousand-km electrical grid. In keeping with the guidelines that the Group has always followed, Inrete will continue to show full commitment in the field of network safety and control, with the aim of confirming its excellent service quality standards, consistently above the minimum levels required by the Authority. Inrete will furthermore be able to make use of Hera's innovative Remote Control Centre, a state-of-the-art facility located in Forlì that meets the highest European standards and guarantees, across the entire area served, an integrated management of all the Group's plants and water, gas and remote heating networks, receiving and coordinating rapid response calls. Similar services for all Inrete's plants and power grids will be provided by the Group's Electricity Remote Control Centre, located in Modena. Alessandro Baroncini has been nominated CEO of Inrete, after having previously acted as Energy Networks Manager in the parent company.

2016-05-11 Financial results as at 31 March 2016 The interim results at 31 March show positive figures and growth in all main indicators, despite a difficult first quarter, affected by the lesser revenues in gas, electricity and water distribution caused by recent regulatory changes.

On the one hand, organic growth aimed at achieving efficiencies and synergies, along with complementary efforts towards market expansion, succeeded in compensating for 75% of the cut in remuneration for regulated activities; on the other, M&A operations, involving above all acquisitions made in late 2015, contributed to growth in results. Note in particular that, with reference to legislative decree 25/2016, an implementation of Directive 2013/50/EU (so-called Transparency Directive), the Hera Group has voluntarily decided to publish its interim financial statements, as in the past, taking into account the high value given to communicating with the stakeholders. This decision may be modified in the future, based on changes in regulations. Revenues amounting to € 1,235.4 million In the first quarter of 2016 revenues came to € 1,235.4 million, dropping compared to the € 1,311.9 million seen in the corresponding period of 2015. The reasons for this decrease include lesser volumes of gas sold, owing to particularly mild temperatures; lesser revenues in electricity and gas sales and trading following a drop in the price of raw materials; the impact on regulated gas, electricity and water cycle services caused by the new method for calculating return on invested capital. These negative effects were only partially compensated by an increase in revenues due to greater volumes of electricity sold and higher revenues due to an increase in disposed waste. EBITDA rises to € 278.4 million EBITDA went from € 277.2 million after the first three months of 2015 to € 278.4 million at the end of March 2016, showing a growth of € 1.2 million (+0.4%). This result is particularly significant if one recalls that it was achieved in the first quarter, the period of the year in which decreases in WACC for gas, electricity and water distribution have, due to seasonal factors, a greater negative impact on revenues and EBITDA, reaching – in the case at hand – € 9.5 million (respectively: 3.9 in gas, 0.7 in electricity and 4.9 in water). The increase in EBITDA was mainly sustained by energy activities, which maintained their margins and more than compensated for the performance of regulated activities. Growth in Ebit and pre-tax profits, improvement in liability management Ebit at 31 March 2016 came to € 170.8 million, up compared to the € 170.1 million seen in the first quarter of 2015 (+0.4%), in spite of higher depreciation due to changes in the operating area, partially compensated by lesser provisions. Liability management improved by € 3.7 million, coming to € 25.7 million at the end of the first quarter (-12.6% compared to the same period in 2015), thanks in particular to lower average debt and greater efficiency in rates. In light of this situation, pre-tax profits went from € 140.7 million in the first three months of 2015 to € 145.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, showing a further increase in the rate of growth (+3.1%). Increased net profits post minorities, reaching € 91.2 million (+5.3%) Net profits recorded an increase of 4.7%, going from € 92.5 million in the first three months of 2015 to € 96.8 million in the corresponding period in 2016, on account of a reduction of the tax burden leading to a tax rate of 33.3% (an improvement compared to the 34.3% applied in the same period in 2015, thanks to the benefits obtained in 2016 deriving from the application of the “patent box” and tax credits for research and development, in addition to tax concessions for maxi amortisations). Profits post minorities came to € 91.2 million, rising by € 4.6 million on the first three months of 2015 (+5.3%), due among other things to reduced minority interests, mainly caused by the complete acquisition of Akron and Romagna Compost. Over 70 million of capital expenditure, reduction of net debt In the first three months of 2016, the Group’s operating capex amounted to 73 million, including 4.5 million in capital grants, with an increase on the same period in 2015 (€ 64.1 million), as foreseen by the business plan. These investments mainly concerned interventions on plants, networks and infrastructures, in addition to regulatory upgrading above all in the gas area, due to a massive meter substitution, and water purifying and sewerage plants. Net debt reduced by no less than € 147 million, going from 2,651.7 in 2015 to 2,504.5 at 31 March 2016 (-5.6%). This result, which is partially natural, tied to seasonal factors in the gas business, was sustained by both a reduction in working capital, owing to a continuous and constant attention in trade receivables management, and the generation of a higher operating cash flow. The debt/equity ratio thus dropped below 0.96x, showing an improvement in financial solidity. Gas EBITDA for the gas business, which includes services in distribution and sales of natural gas and LPG, district heating and heat management, reached € 128.7 million in the first quarter of 2016, with a slight growth compared to the € 128.4 seen at 31 March 2015, thanks to greater margins for activities in sales and trading and greater margins for district heating and heat management services. These positive effects more than compensate for the lesser volumes of gas sold on account of mild temperatures, and the € 3.9 million drop in gas distribution revenues, an effect of the WACC reduction. The gas area accounted for 46.2% of Group EBITDA. Water cycle EBITDA for the integrated water cycle business, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, went from € 50.5 million in the first three months of 2015 to € 49.8 million in the first quarter of 2016. This result was impacted above all by € 4.9 million in lesser revenues for delivery, an effect of the WACC reduction, which in turn were almost entirely compensated by the operational efficiencies created. The integrated water business accounted for 17.9% of Group EBITDA. Waste management EBITDA for the waste business, which includes services in waste collection, treatment and disposal, went from € 64.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 to € 62.4 million in the corresponding period in 2016. Among the factors with a negative influence, particular attention must go to the tariffs for waste collection and street sweeping, which have not as yet been updated and are currently under local authorities’ approval. As regards activities in waste recycle, treatment and disposal, results were equal to those seen in the previous year, thanks to the contribution obtained from acquisitions carried out in 2015, which compensated for the temporary stall in landfills currently being enlarged, the reduction in prices for energy certificates, and the lower amount of green certificates for the Ferrara WTE plant. Good results were seen in sorted waste, which rose to 56.2%, compared to 55.2% in the first three months of 2015, thanks to the many projects implemented across all geographical areas served. The waste business accounted for 22.4% of Group EBITDA. Electricity EBITDA for the electricity business, which includes services in electricity production, distribution and sales, rose from € 29.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 to € 33.2 million at 31 March 2016 (+13.3%), thanks above all to greater margins both in sales and trading activities and in electricity generation. This increase was only partially reduced by lesser revenues in the regulated distribution service, coming to € 0.7 million. In this area, furthermore, an increase in both customers (almost 60,000 more than in 2015) and volumes sold was seen, thanks among other things to reinforced commercial initiatives. The electricity business accounted for 11.9% of Group EBITDA.

Hera Shareholders' Meeting: dividend at 9 cents The Hera Shareholders' Meeting was held in Bologna this morning, with both ordinary and extraordinary sessions. Approval of the financial statements and the sustainability report. Dividend at 9 cent./share In the ordinary session the Meeting approved the financial statements and the sustainability report for 2015, along with the Board of Directors' proposal to pay dividends of 9 euro cents per share, matching those paid in the previous financial year, as priorly announced in the business plan to 2019. In particular, the 2015 financial year closed with positive economic results and a rise in all main indicators, thanks to the Group's solid business model and a good operational, financial and fiscal management: revenue reached € 4,487.0 million (+7.1% over the previous year), EBITDA settled at € 884.4 million (+1.9%) and net profit post minorities came to € 180.5 million (+9.5%). The ex coupon date was set at 20 June 2016, with payment beginning on 22 June 2016. The dividend paid, based on the price of Hera stock at 31/12/2015, corresponds to an annual return of approximately 3.7%. Amendment of article 4 of the Articles of Association In the extraordinary session the Meeting approved amendments to article 4 of Hera's Articles of Association, consisting in an explicit statement that Hera S.p.A.'s company purpose also includes the possibility of engaging in activities involving management and/or supply of integrated energy services. The activities in question are already practiced by the Company, but this must now be specified in the Articles of Association in order for Hera S.p.A. to obtain certification pursuant to UNI CEI 11352 regulations. This is because legislative decree 102/14, which implements EU directive 2012/27, requires companies, as of July 2016, to obtain this certification in order to be qualified to carry out a number of activities in the field of energy efficiency promotion, such as energy diagnosis, and to obtain white certificates. Other resolutions approved The Shareholders' Meeting, in addition to the report on corporate governance and compensation policy, lastly approved the renewal of the Board of Directors' authorisation to purchase treasury shares (along with the conditions of their disposal), for a maximum exchange value of € 180 million, for 18 months. This authorisation was requested so as to pursue the goals allowed by current regulations and accepted market practices, among which investment opportunities involving the use of treasury shares to increase the creation of value and possible acquisitions of stakeholdings that also include share exchanges.

2016-04-08 riunione_.1469545191.jpg Hera Comm has completed its acquisition of 100% ownership of the gas and electricity sales company. Through this purchase, the Hera Group acquires new customers and consolidates its presence in Abruzzo. Julia Servizi Più enters the Hera Group Following the definitive sale approved by the City Council, today in Bologna the final steps were carried out to transfer ownership of the gas and electricity sales company Julia Servizi Più, owned at 100% by the City of Giulianova (TE), through the signing of the divestiture contract with Hera Comm, an Hera Group company already active in Abruzzo and Marche through the activities of Hera Comm Marche. Julia Servizi Più, which reported over EUR 7.3 million in revenues in 2014, has approximately 14,700 customers distributed throughout the municipality and the province of Teramo. Existing contracts with customers will remain in place and the operation will not lead to any changes in the sales and customer support structure: indeed, the company will continue to operate in the Giulianova area with specific personnel and channels of communication. In addition, new services and offers will gradually be introduced. As a matter of fact, Hera Comm's experience in managing more than 2.1 million customers throughout Italy will enable it to effectively meet local area requirements through a variety of options tailored to its specific needs, in terms of both gas and electricity, taking advantage of Hera's network of qualified agents. The Hera Group is a major Italian multi-utility company active in the sectors of energy (distribution and sale of electricity and gas), the environment (waste collection and treatment) and water (water supply, sewerage and wastewater treatment). Over 8,500 employees work for the Group and strive every day to respond to the multiple needs of 4.4 million people in more than 350 municipalities, mainly located in Emilia-Romagna, the Marche and Triveneto. The sales company Hera Comm, controlled at 100% by Hera S.p.A., operates throughout the country and also maintains a presence in Abruzzo and Marche, selling gas to more than 130,000 customers and electricity to over 50,000 customers. "This operation allows us to further develop our presence in the liberalized gas and electricity market and represents an important step forward in a process of development in the Adriatic regions, an established area of activity for us," explains Cristian Fabbri, CEO of Hera Comm. "Our local roots, our continual efforts to improve the services we offer, the availability of affordable options designed to meet the needs of customers: these are the ingredients that have led to a progressive increase in the number and satisfaction of our clients in recent years. We are thus confident that the existing customers of Julia Servizi will appreciate the new services and integrated options offered by the Hera Group in its effort to be ever more customer-centered." "With the contract signed today, the 8th of April," declared Francesco Mastromauro, the Mayor of Giulianova, "the Hera Group formally becomes 100% owner of Julia Servizi Più. The transfer of Julia, required by the provisions regarding municipally-owned affiliates, has allowed the City to earn 850 thousand euros over the asking price set at auction, for a total of 5.387 million euros. This is not just an economic matter, however. The current employment levels will also be safeguarded, and the headquarters will remain in Giulianova, based on a decision I and the majority made, as established in a specific clause of the call for tenders. With the transfer of Julia to the Hera Group, one of Italy's leading operators in this sector, not only will the company's presence in the local area be maintained, but customers will also be able to enjoy significant benefits thanks to additional services and new jobs."

An upward trend in results, with attention focused on environmental, social and economic sustainability The 2015 financial year concluded for the Hera Group with all main indicators up from 2014. These positive results are the fruit of a solid business model that has always been distinguished by its balanced multi-service portfolio, focused on core activities, continuous improvement in efficiency across all fields and synergies extracted from integrations. On the one hand the Group's multi-business strategy guarantees a balanced range of economic and financial actions; on the other, a combination of two forms of leverage, internal growth and M&A, has allowed it to continue to expand in spite of an increasingly challenging scenario from an economic, regulatory and competitive point of view. The results reached confirm, furthermore, the Group's attention towards the various facets of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. Our purely economic results are in fact flanked by data that bears witness to a reduction in environmental impact, an increase in sorted waste, greater care towards energy efficiency and continuous improvement in customer service, all of which provides further confirmation of the company's attention towards all stakeholders and the localities in which it operates. Revenue at around € 4.5 billion Revenue reached € 4,487.0 million in 2015, up 7.1% compared to € 4,189.1 million in the previous year. This result was achieved thanks to greater volumes sold in gas services, heat management and district heating, due to the cooler temperatures with respect to the same period in 2014, an increase in volumes of electricity sold in line with the trend in demand, more sizeable commercial activities and an increase in trading of both gas and electricity. Approximately € 884 million in EBITDA EBITDA rose to € 884.4 million, up with respect to the € 867.8 million seen in 2014 (+1.9%).This result was mainly due to the results of the gas area, which increased by € 19.8 million, and the integrated water cycle, which rose by € 15.4 million, more than compensating for the slight drop in other business areas. In general, the growth in EBITDA was driven by better weather conditions, an enlargement of the market share in liberalised markets, in addition to the positive impact of the new tariff method and the efficiencies and synergies derived from integrations. The efficiencies reached over € 15 million, and the synergies that emerged from the merger with AcegasapsAmga contributed in 2015 with € 4.2 million (thus reaching over 20 million synergies from early 2013 until present). The results reached by the Group in 2015 in terms of EBITDA are all the more significant bearing in mind that in 2014 the Company benefited from non-recurring income amounting to over € 20 million, linked to the equalisation fund for electricity networks in Gorizia, the valorisation of white certificates and recording turnover dating to previous financial years. Growth in operating results and pre-tax profits, improvements in financial management Operating profits came to € 442.2 million, in line with the € 441.2 million seen in 2014, even subtracting higher depreciations and provisions connected to the enlarged operating area. The result of financial management is € 126 million, with a € 12 million improvement on the same period in 2014. This reduction is mainly due to lesser borrowing costs and a rise in profits coming from subsidiaries, in particular Est Energy. Adjusted pre-tax profits, i.e. prior to non-recurring income and expenses, therefore increased by € 12.9 million, passing from € 303.2 million in 2014 to € 316.1 million in 2015 (+4.3%). Net profits post minorities up, reaching over € 180 million Adjusted net profits rose by 11.8%, passing from € 181.2 million in 2014 to € 202.6 million in the corresponding period in 2015, thanks to lesser taxes. Considerable improvement was seen in the average tax rate, which went from 40.2% to 35.9% thanks to a reduction in IRAP and the elimination of the Robin Tax for energy companies and other fiscal optimisations. These effects more than compensated for the negative impact brought about by bringing anticipated and deferred tax assets into line with the change in IRES tax rates foreseen as of 2017. In spite the approximately € 8.2 million of non-recurring financial expenses on the 2015 statements, Net profits post minorities rose to € 180.5 million, increasing compared to the € 164.8 million seen in 2014 (+9.5%), thanks among other factors to a reduction in minority interests following the full acquisition of Akron and Romagna Compost, carried out during the year and backdated to 1 January 2015. Investments for roughly € 350 million, net debt/EBITDA ratio stable at 3x In 2015, Group investments amounted to € 332.7 million. Including capital grants for € 13.7 million, overall investments came to € 346.4 million, in line with 2014, mainly destined to interventions on plants and networks. Adaptations to new regulatory standards also contributed, above all in the purification and sewerage area. Net debt for 2015 amounts to € 2,651.7 million, substantially in line with the € 2,640.4 seen in 2014. This result is even more significant considering that the positive operating cash flow completely financed both dividend payments (for € 142.4 million) and numerous M&A operations (for roughly € 76 million) mainly implemented at the end of the year. The NFP/EBITDA ratio remains stable at 3.0, with a slight improvement compared to the previous year. This result is influenced by the acquisitions that occurred at the end of 2015, which contributed to the economic results partially and only as of their entrance within the Group's operating scope. Proposed dividends: 9 cents per share On the basis of the results attained, the Board of Directors has decided to put to the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 28 April 2016 a dividend of 9 cents per share, in line with the amount paid one year ago and previously announced in the business plan through 2019. The ex-dividend date has been set at 20 June 2016, with payment as of 22 June 2016. Gas The gas business EBITDA, which includes services in natural gas distribution and sales, district heating and heat management, rose to € 295.8 million (+7.2%) from € 276 million in 2014. This result was obtained above all thanks to an increase in volumes of natural gas sold to final customers (332.1 million m3) due to both the cooler winter temperatures in 2015, in spite of the year closing with a discrepancy compared to seasonal averages, and an increase in the customer base, along with greater volumes in trading (434.7 million m3). In 2015, investments in the gas area came to € 86.5 million, with an increase of € 7.4 million compared to 2014. In gas distribution, the increase is mainly due to the effects of the enlargement of the operating area in parts of the Triveneto region, as well as a massive meter substitution involving new generation devices. The number of gas clients rose to roughly 1.3 million, as an effect of both commercial and customer loyalty initiatives set in place to counter competition, and thanks to the enlargement of the customer base, in particular in Central Italy with the acquisition of Alento Gas in May 2015. The gas area accounts for 33.4% of Group EBITDA. Water The integrated water cycle business, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, recorded an EBITDA of € 232.5 million (+7.1%) compared to € 217.1 million in 2014, mainly as an effect of the continuous recovery of operating efficiency and energy savings, as well as the full effectiveness of the new tariff system, that foresees a convergence towards fully covered costs. Net investments in the integrated water cycle area amounted to € 114.9 million, with an increase of € 21.3 million on the previous year. Including capital grants, investments in this area came to € 127.2 million, of which € 59.1 million in aqueducts, € 34.3 million in sewerage and € 33.8 million in purification. The interventions concerned above all extensions, reclamations and network and plant upgrading, as well as adaptations to new regulations that mainly involve purification and sewerage. The integrated water cycle area accounts for 26.3% of Group EBITDA. Waste management The waste management business EBITDA, which includes waste collection, treatment and disposal services, reached € 230 million compared to € 241.8 million in 2014. In a generally positive context for all production chains, this area suffered from a reduction in the price of energy and the volumes of waste commercialised recorded a drop of 2.2%, as a consequence of the temporary lack of space in landfills; work is currently being done on restoring the complete functionality of these plants. Volumes of urban waste treated recorded a slight increase (+0.2%). Results in the field of sorted urban waste are positive, with further progress from 54.0% in 2014 to 55.4% in 2015. In addition to a qualitative and quantitative improvement in gathering, activities in the waste management area were focused on increasing the efficiency of and enlarging the plant base, to complete the Group's presence in new national markets with demand and prices in continuous expansion. In particular, the market position and the new plants deriving from the acquisition in late 2015 of Waste Recycling in Tuscany and some activities of Geo Nova in the Veneto region will fully contribute to operating results in 2016. The Hera Group, it should be recalled, is the leading national operator in the waste management sector with 85 urban and special waste treatment and disposal plants. The waste management area accounts for 26% of Group EBITDA. Electricity area The electricity business, which includes services in electricity production, distribution and sales, recorded an EBITDA of € 104.7 million, with an improvement of € 4 million compared to the 2014 data, in a level comparison that does not consider the roughly € 10 million in non-recurring items linked to the equalisation fund for networks in the area surrounding Gorizia. This result was reached thanks to the efficiency enhancement initiatives introduced and the greater volumes sold to end customers. Driven above all by growth in the free market area, the number of electricity customers reached over 850,000 (+7.7% compared to 2014), confirming the trend seen in recent years, mainly due to a reinforcement of commercial action. The electricity area accounts for 11.8% of Group EBITDA. STATEMENTS Statement by Executive Chairman Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano The year came to an end with positive results and a rising trend, in line with our history. Confirming the validity of our multi-business model, this allows us to put to the Shareholders' Meeting a payment of dividends per share in line with both the previous year and that which we had announced in our business plan" affirms Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Executive Chairman of Hera. "External growth was concentrated in late 2015 on mono-business enterprises whose contribution will become fully visible in the 2016 results, leading the Hera Group to widen its reference markets. We continue, concurrently, to analyse the best opportunities among multi-utilities bordering on the geographical areas in which we operate, to increase synergies and create ever greater value for our shareholders". Statement by CEO Stefano Venier "Thanks to our commitment to innovation and greater efficiency in operational and financial structure management, the Hera Group has been able to generate sufficient financial resources to self-finance both its own activities and an enlargement of its operating area", explains Stefano Venier, CEO at Hera. "These results are all the more appreciable considering that they are accompanied by a creation of value for the entire area in which we operate, amounting to €1.6 billion, and an increase in customer and employee satisfaction, as testified this year as well by surveys carried out by third parties, and the improvement of the various indicators of social and environmental sustainability that appear in the Sustainability Report, approved today by the Board of Directors".

2016-03-10 riunione_.1469543703.jpg Hera Group reinforces its presence in Abruzzo thanks to the acquisition tender for the gas and electricity sales company held by the Municipality of Giulianova. 100% of Julia Servizi Più goes to Hera Comm The Hera Group has further stabilised its presence in Abruzzo following a tender for the acquisition of 100% of Julia Servizi Più, a gas and electricity sales companyentirely held by the Municipality of Giulianova (TE). Julia Servizi Più, whose revenues in 2014 amounted to over € 7.3 million, serves roughly 14,700 clients across the area of this municipality and the province of Teramo. The clients of Julia Servizi will thus be able to benefit from the Hera Group's services and offers, developed while managing over 2.1 million clients. The assignment of the tender Today, at the Municipality of Giulianova, the public session held to open the binding offers presented on 7 March 2016 took place.Hera Comm, the Hera Group's sales company, was provisionally awarded the tender. The price at which the tender was awarded, a total amount of € 5.387 million, was formulated on the basis of the economic situation, as well as the financial situation and the reserves, ofJulia Servizi Più. The municipal administration, in accordance with the tender notice, will now proceed in verifying the necessary requisites for stipulating the contract and, in the event of a positive outcome, will definitively award the tender. Within the following 30 days the share transfer contract will be drafted, sealing the transfer of ownership. The Group's presence in the area Following the merger of Julia Servizi into the Hera Group, the helpdesks found in the area in question will be maintained and flanked by new communication channels. Customers will thus be able to take advantage of new services, as well as numerous electricity and gas promotions that are closer to their needs. Hera Comm is the sales company of the Hera Group, 100% controlled by Hera S.p.A., and operates across the entire nation; in the Abruzzo and Marche Regions, where it is also present thanks to Hera Comm Marche and Fucino Gas, it sells gas to over 130,000 customers and electricity to over 50,000 customers. With the acquisition of Julia Servizi Più, which follows up on the acquisition of Alento Gas in 2015, the Hera Group continues to pursue its path of development in the Marche and Abruzzo regions, both bordering on the Adriatic sea, consolidating a presence that has already seen this multi-utility form partnerships with various economic forces of the area. "For the Hera Group, the acquisition of Julia Servizi is an important result in a wider process of development aimed at extending our presence in the gas and electricity free markets within the regions bordering on the Adriatic sea, an area in which we have historically been present", explains Cristian Fabbri, Chief Executive Officer of Hera Comm. 100% of Julia Servizi Più goes to Hera Comm press_release.1457706659.pdf 2015-11-12 16:51:00 Hera Group: control of Aliplast reaches 80%

2016-03-07 hera_luce.1469541514.jpg The deal will guarantee significant benefits for Municipalities served by Hera Luce, estimated at savings for at least 60% in costs for electricity consumed and similar reductions in CO2 emissions. Hera Luce: investments in public lighting Savings are soon to come for Municipalities served for public lighting by Hera Luce. The Hera Group company and the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti have in fact signed a long-term financing deal for approximately € 21 million, destined for energy efficiency investments in public lighting in these Municipalities. The financing consists in two credit lines: the first is intended for concessions that have already been signed, and the second is available for investments involved in new concessions that are expected to be signed within 2016. The two lines will expire respectively in December 2032 and December 2033. This initiative will allow Municipalities to benefit from significant savings, estimated at 60% of electricity consumption at least, and a similar percentage of CO2 emission reductions. The operation bears witness to the significance that energy efficiency has for Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, whose new Business Plan foresees constant attention towards initiatives in this sector in favour of Public Administrations. For the Hera Group, this project is part of a constant commitment towards energy efficiency and innovation across the entire area served. Today, Hera Luce is the second largest public lighting server in Italy. The company projects, creates, maintains and manages public lighting and traffic light facilities in roughly seventy Municipalities in the following regions: Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Tuscany, Lombardy and Lazio, in which it manages approximately 300,000 lighting points.

2016-01-11 bp to 2019 eng.png A Plan once again envisaging growth, aimed at a 2019 EBITDA of over € 1 billion. Development to be based on a balanced mixture of internal growth and M&A, including the benefits expected from gas tenders, in line with the Group's track record. Hera Group Approves Business Plan to 2019 https://eng.gruppohera.it/documents/1514726/4210782/GruppoHera_PI_15_19.1452518218.pdf/ca55eb69-caf4-0c7c-fda4-e8c284b91ccd?t=1597911786099 https://eng.gruppohera.it/documents/1514726/4210782/ANALYST_presentation_bp_to_2019.1452518644.pdf/83fa3cc5-4f9d-744c-aebe-62f9acbfd3b3?t=1597911786585 https://eng.gruppohera.it/documents/1514726/4210782/Hera_numero_straordinario_ENG.1452518583.pdf/a8851db5-76da-edc0-baa0-94a269d96131?t=1597911787492 null Press release Analyst Presentation Business Plan to 2019 Newsletter Business Plan to 2019 null Higher operating and financial objectives, in spite of an ever more challenging scenario This morning the Hera Group's Board of Directors approved its Business Plan to 2019. A Plan oriented towards growth, thanks to the solid positioning of the Group - whose activities are concentrated in areas it has uninterruptedly covered since it was established - aimed at creating value within its current operating area and making the most of future prospectives for sector consolidation. The strategies that have guided the Group until present have been reconfirmed, with a focus above all on expansion and efficiency, as a response to today's challenging scenario, without neglecting the cornerstones of innovation and excellence. From an operating and financial point of view, for 2019 the Plan foresees a total revenue of over € 5.8 billion compared to € 4.7 billion in 2014, an EBITDA of € 1,030 million against the € 868 million recorded in 2014. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA, which is already among the best in the industry, is expected to decrease to 2.9x (vs. 3.04x in 2014), confirming the Group's sustainable growth in terms of financial strength, with an increase in cash flow. Moreover, the Business Plan to 2019 confirms that one of the strategic elements at the root of Hera's business model is sustainability, in all its aspects: environmental, social and economic. The strictly economic objectives are flanked by targets such as reduced environmental impact, greater attention towards energy efficiency and a continual improvement of customer service, fully aware of the important role played by the company across its operating area. A context marked by regulatory, economic and competitive complexities The Plan to 2019 has been elaborated with an eye to a more complex scenario than the one envisaged in the previous strategic document. The most notable new factor that creates challenges for utilities consists in the new regulations concerning return on invested capital in regulated services, which will have a significant impact on operators' revenues. Furthermore, on a macro-economic level, Italy's economic upturn still appears to be weak, while the level of competition is rising in all businesses, including regulated ones; indeed, during the period covered by the Plan, both gas distribution and urban hygiene services will be put to tender. Lastly, regulatory changes are also expected, having been repeatedly called for by national institutions, and alongside competition in tenders they will lead to a progressive consolidation among the operators active in Local Public Services, in such a way as to increase the overall efficiency of these sectors. Over 1 billion of EBITDA in 2019: focus on efficiency improvement, synergies and external growth The Business Plan includes two tools that will be used to reach the objective of € 1,030 million of EBITDA in 2019, with an increase of € 162 million compared to 2014: internal growth and M&A. These tools are both part of the Group's history, having contributed constantly over the years to developing a growth model that has been confirmed in the Plan and thus represents an important factor of continuity in the strategy pursued until present. As regards organic growth in particular, on the one hand initiatives will be taken to increase efficiency and curb internal and external costs for € 72 million, taking advantage among other things of partnerships with the Group's suppliers. On the other, plans have been made to extract a further € 21 million in synergies from integration operations that have already been concluded (AcegasAps, Isontina Reti Gas, Est Reti Elettriche and Amga Udine), to be added to the € 15 million already reached in 2014. This will allow further improvement in the high level of Ebitda per employee, which is expected to go up over the next five years by approximately 6% compared to 2014. Thanks to these results, Hera will be able to withstand and more than compensate for the impact expected over the period covered by the Plan of regulatory changes, among which lesser incentives for roughly € 30 million, and the negative effect - estimated at roughly € 25 million - of the new return on capital in regulated services (WACC) recently revised by the Authority. As regards growth by M&As, four mid-sized consolidations are expected to be completed within the period covered by the Plan, with an overall contribution of over € 110 million to EBITDA growth in 2019. This objective is in line with the average results achieved in the M&A operations successfully completed since the Group's establishment. External growth will be further enhanced, by an estimated € 14 million, by the confirmation of the Group as manager of gas distribution services in its own reference areas, thus being able to benefit from the application of its own efficiency and service quality standards to new networks. Capital expenditures for over € 2 billion In the 2015-2019 period, total capital expenditures will amount to approximately € 2,200 million, predominantly (72%) allocated to networks, which also includes over € 300 million to be used for gas tenders. An even distribution of investments over the geographical areas served will once again be guaranteed, according to their size and their specific requirements as to modernisation and optimisation. Excluding gas tenders, over the period covered by the Plan the Group expects to reach an overall balance between capital expenditures and depreciations, in order to maintain the operating and financial sustainability that has already been reached in recent years. Networks: the challenges presented by gas tenders and the pursuit of efficiency Approximately 40% of the growth foreseen through 2019 will be due to the results achieved in the network sector, which includes integrated water services and gas and electricity distribution services, and whose EBITDA at 2019 is expected to rise to € 483 million, compared to € 416 million in 2014. Over the period covered by the Plan, overall investments in infrastructures are foreseen for € 1,610 million, including the effects of gas distribution tenders. The objective of confirming service management in all areas currently covered will be pursued by relying on the Group's highly compact presence in the areas served, its deep knowledge and the experience it has gained over the years, the high levels of efficiency already reached and its notable investment capability. Confirmation of current concessions will be expressed as a variation in the Group's operating area that can be estimated at 260,000 extra re-delivery points to be served. Thanks to gas tenders, it is estimated that the value of the distribution networks managed by Hera (RAB) will go from roughly 3 billion in 2014 to 3.5 billion in 2019. In order to reach the EBITDA objectives, attention to efficiency is once again considered to be essential, in particular in the supply network, where scale economies can be further pursued, synergies extracted thanks to geographical proximity, and innovated technologies implemented (e.g. electronic gas metres, remote management of the water network, smart grid in electricity distribution), allowing the Group to compensate for the negative impact of the recent reformulation of tariff systems. Environment: growth increasingly oriented towards recovering materials and energy The Hera Group is a national leader in the environment sector and expects this position to be further reinforced over the period covered by the Plan, thanks among other things to better market conditions, as recorded over 2015, which saw a trend towards recovery in prices and demand. Sector EBITDA is expected to grow from 242 million in 2014 to 302 in 2019, while overall investments in the period in question will amount to roughly 460 million and will be dedicated to sustaining the development of existing plants, in order to face the rise expected in market volumes, with treatments ever more oriented towards recycling and greater environmental sustainability. This framework also includes the objectives of bringing sorted waste to 65% in 2019 (from 54% in 2014) and decreasing to below 10% the use of landfills for solid urban waste, in line with EU legislation on landfill diversion, and in any case well under the national average. The plants will be progressively rationalised, maximising their yield and above all aligning the range of plant types with the evolution of sorted waste and objectives concerning the recovery of materials and energy in the areas served. Furthermore, authorisation has recently been obtained for the construction and management of the Sesto Fiorentino waste to energy plant. A great degree of attention will be dedicated, lastly, to developing commercial activities, with the objective of increasing the volumes of waste treated through a stronger presence in the market of industrial clients. The Group will be able to pursue this strategy thanks among other things to the recent acquisitions of Geo Nova and Waste Recycling, that offer solid coverage in the Tuscany and the Triveneto region markets. In terms of waste collection, the Group aims to reconfirm its services in those areas of Emilia Romagna in which tenders are expected to be held during the years covered by the plan. This will be possible thanks to the substantial efficiency and automation projects that the Group has already set into place and that will contribute to combining cost-effectiveness for citizens with a progressive increase in sorted waste and a higher quality of the services provided. Energy: customer base development and efficiency, to overcome the challenges of competition In a context that foresees a slight recovery in demand for both gas and electricity, this sector's EBITDA at 2019 will settle at 214 million, up 188 million compared to 2014, while total capital expenditures for the period will amount to roughly 80 million. Protection of the current customer base, growth into new geographical areas and cost-curbing remain the essential elements of the strategy adopted in this segment. Greater efficiency in customer management, which will allow costs per unit to be reduced, is also fundamental in increasing competitiveness. The Group will also dedicate its attention to the expectations of a smarter customer base, more attentive to the issues involved in energy efficiency, introducing innovative commercial offers that are able to meet the new demands of the retail market. Today, the Group is a primary operator in gas and electricity sales in Italy, with over two million customers, and aims at reaching over 2.3 million contracts in 2019. Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, Executive Chairman of Hera "The recently approved Plan is fully in line with our tradition of growth, which has allowed us to consolidate competitive advantages on which we will rely while facing the challenges and the higher level of competition, expected in coming years, in all business areas found in our portfolio. This strategy is aimed at creating internal growth by pursuing greater efficiency and market expansion, in addition to taking advantage of our "open" governance model to achieve further sector consolidation. The growth envisaged will imply a cash flow sufficient to cover all expected capital expenditures and a continuation of our policy of dividends with an annual return of approximately 3.6% (based on current stock exchange values), and will guarantee room for further expansion through M&A with mono-business companies, as was recently seen with the acquisitions of Geo Nova and Waste Recycling in the sector of waste treatment." Stefano Venier, Chief Executive Officer of Hera "Our Plan has been designed, respecting the financial balance that has characterised our Group until now, with the dual objective of reinforcing our credit standing by maintaining a conservative risk profile, and creating ever greater value for all our stakeholders, from investors to customers, by further improving service quality, as well as suppliers, by creating partnerships. In addition to reconfirming all aspects of sustainability, from environmental to social and economic stand points, as the underlying strategic element of our business model, we will pursue new challenges in terms of innovation and excellence, to reconfirm our current concessions in regulated services and continue expanding in liberalised markets." 2016-01-11 14:55:31 Il Gruppo Hera approva il Piano industriale al 2019
