The item 'motorwaysectorrevenue'totali edEUR 460.1 million (EUR 446.2million in the firsthaltof 2014)and breaks down asfollows:

ramountsintflwsands otEUR;-@ll!!lt.miO@-

The increase 1n'net to/1 revenues',equal to EUR 15.5 million(+3.61%)was due to the growth in traffic volumes forEUR 9.3million (this 2.32%increase had aneffect on 'nettoll revenues' equalto 2.17% if consideringthe traffic mix) andto a1.44% increase in tolls asof 1 January 2015(EUR 6.2milllonfi.

The decrease 1n'rental income-royaltiestramservice areas'wasdue to thedecrease in consumption in serviceareas andthe new

economie conditionsagreedupon the extension of partof the sub-concessionagreements.

The decrease in revenuesof the 'construction andengineering' sector, which was reflected on 'operatingcosts', was mainlydue to laweractivities carried aut far third partiesby Graupcampanies.

The technology sector,having taken into account the consolidationof Brescia M1lano Manutenzioni S.c.arl.starting from thishalf-year period(+EUR 1.9 million), showed anincrease in the activities carried outfor third parties, with a consequentincrease in 'operating costs'.

The item 'parking sectorrevenue'refers to thepayments received (net ofthe so-called'guaranteed minimum amount') by Fiera

Parking S.p.A.. The related revenue and expenditureitems have been consolidated startingfrom this half-year period.

The change1n'operatmg costs'(+EUR 6.2million) was mainly due,as detailed above,to the production trends of the companiesoperating in the 'canstruction andengineering' and'technology' sectors.The increase in operating costs as aresult of the consolidation of Fiera Parking S.pA (+EUR1.2 million) is offsetby thetotal decrease recorded by the'motorway sector' (-EUR 1.0 million). Moreover,this decrease is due to (i) highercosts for 'winter services' (+EUR1.3 million, as aresult of low snowfallsin the first manths ofthe previaus financial year), (ii)higher payroll costs (+EUR0.8 millian),(iii) higher costs far services andother operating casts (+EUR 2.1 millian)and (iv)lower maintenancecosts(equal toEUR 5.2million), duetoa differentscheduleof maintenanceaperations.

(·)Based onan increaseintollsasof1January2015 for the rnanagesections equalto 1.50%. the effect on'net talirevenues' was equalto 144%due to ii)tollad1ustments.and(ii)tl1eexclusionof theAsti-Cuneo sectionfromthesaid increase.

Società Iniziative Autostradali e Servizi S.p.A.

With regard to the above, the 'gross operating margin' increased by EUR 17.3 million and reflects the changes in the Group's operating sectors. More specifically:

(amounts inmri!ions ofEUR)

The rtem 'non-recurring items' referred, far an amount of EUR2 million, to an rnsurance refund (received tram the subsidiary Autostrada dei Fiori S.p.A. far the expenses incurred far the flooding events occurred in January 2014 on the managed section) and far EUR 0.8 million to an extraordinary contribution granted to Fiera Parking S.p.A. The remaining part (EUR 3.5 million) relates to the 'one-off' incarne - which was carried aut based an a favourable ruling - of risks provisions set aside in FY 2011 by the subsidiaries SATAP S.p.A. and Autocamronale della Cisa S.p.A. with regard to rntegration requests of sub-concession fees far the fmancial years
2008-2009-201O. Inthe firstsix months of 2014, the item 'non-recurring items' referred to the partral write-down of the receivable owed to the subsidiary Finanziaria di Partecipazioni e Investimenti S p.A by ANAS S.p.A.
The item 'net amortisation/deprec ation and provisions' amounted to EUR 146.2 mrllion (EUR 149.6 million in the first six months of
2014) and was due far EUR 4.3 million to the amortisation/depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets, far EUR 133.6 million to amortisation of non-compensated revertible assetst••i, far EUR 5.2 million to the change in the 'provision far restoration, replacement and maintenance' of the said assets and far EUR 3.1 million ta provisions far risks and charges.
The change in 'financiaf incarne' was due, far EUR 5.9 million, to the absence of the capitai gains resulting from the dispasal of equity
investments in the first six months of the previous frnancialyear
The item 'financial charges'- including the charges far interest rate swap contracts- is mainly rn line with the corresponding figures far the previousfinancial year.
The rtem 'write-down ofequity investments' wasdue,far EUR 0.8 million, to the wnte-down carriedaut with regard to the equity
investment held in CompagniaAerea Italiana S.p.A.. The change was due to the absenceof write-dawns that were carriedaut in the first srx months of 2014.
The item 'profit of companies accounted for bythe equity method' included the share ofprofits from jointly controlled entitiesand

associated companies. Morespecifically, it reflects the profitsrecorded by SITAF S.p.A. (EUR 4.9million), ATIVA S.p.A. (EUR2 million), Road Link Holding Ltd.(EUR 0.6 million),SITRASBS.p.A. (EUR 0.5 million),the companiesoperatrng in the car parkingsector (EUR 0.4 millian), which were partially adjustedas a result af the inclusion ofpro-rata shares of lossesattributable to Autostrade LombardeS.p.A. (EUR3.9 million), TEMS.p.A./TE S.p.A. (EUR 0.9 millron) and Rivalta Terminai EuropaS.p.A. (EUR 1.8 million). The changewas mainlydue ta the inclusion of pro-ratashares of losses ofthe motorway companies operating inthe 'Milan area'(amounting to EUR 4.8 million).

With regard ta the above, the Group'sshare of 'profit far theperiad' amounted ta EUR73.8 million(EUR 50.2 million in the first half of

2014).
