  • The Distribution sector sourcing comprises 4 main

product/supply chain model

  • Banana and Pineapples, are tropical fruit sourced all year round

from the same origins since they can be harvested, despite some up/down in productivity, 52 weeks on 52; few suppliers are involved , the biggest part is procured by the Import & Shipping Segment (Simba) of Orsero completing the range with other major brands or peculiar origins (e.g. Canary banana in Spain)

  • Overseas products are sourced from extra-EU vendors based

chiefly in the Southern Hemisphere, providing fresh produce on seasonal sales campaign / counter season basis ( i.e. when the domestic produce is off)

  • Domestic product, still a minor part of the bunch but with

increasing importance, several purchasing contracts are finalized with small local producer depending on availability of goods

  • EU products consist of import from EU countries of counter

season fresh fruit and vegetables

  • All fresh produce, apart bananas and pineapples, could

be marketed almost all year long (e.g. Kiwi from NZ in Spring , or Kiwi from IT in fall/winter)

  • sourcing from different countries, depending on seasonality
  • implying different supply chain
  • utilizing appropriate cold storage (e.g. Kiwi from NZ in Spring , or

Kiwi from IT in fall/winter)

  • The composition of sales channel vary form country to

country adjusting accordingly to the overall penetration

  • f modern trade on food retailing
  • Italy and Spain are still countries with a good balance between

supermarkets and wholesalers

  • Portugal and France are characterized by a deeper

concentration of supermarkets

SLIDE 16

H1 2018 HIGHLIGHTS

16

Business Corporate

  • First cash dividend: 0,12 €/share, paid in May , for a total outlay of abt. 2 M€
  • In Sept. 2018, appointment of Banca Akros as Sponsor, starting the route to the listing on the MTA/Star

market

  • Ongoing scouting activity to identify affordable M&A target in the F&V market and adjacent products
  • Potential target must fit with the effort of focusing in the core business and of enlarging the geographical penetration or

the assortment of products marketed

  • On Sept. 20, the Orsero’s Spanish subsidiary entered into an agreement to purchase the entire share

capital of Sevimpor SL for a consideration on 1,65 M€ (+ 0,65 of Net Debt) to be paid in 3 years

  • Sevimpor is a distributor of fresh F&V located in Sevilla (Andalusia-Spain) with net revenues of over 9 M€ and Adj. Ebitda of

0,45 M€ (FY 2017); the transaction will be finalised in Jan. 2019 and it is expected to produce immediate commercial and

  • perational synergies
  • H1 Distribution sales affected by general consumption slow down in the very first months of 2018 due to

winter weather colder than same period last year, coupled with a short supply in Bananas.

  • No warning affecting long term growth of Distribution segment
  • Market insight: the modern trade channel in Italy underperformed (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets F&V sales down -3%

YTD June (*)) and the consumption statistic in Spain returned a gloomy scenario for Q1 2018(**)

  • Consumption recovered in the remaining months of the first half
  • Confirmed focus on diversification of product portfolio and widening of value added product line
  • Good profitably improvement as a consequence of volumes/mix effect
  • Fresh cut fruit
  • ramp-up of the refitted and enlarged facility in Florence,
  • early-stage project for new cutting centres to be located within existing Orsero’s facility in Italy
  • rganisational reinforcement by establishing a team dedicated to “fresh cut”
  • Shipping activities keep generating positive Ebitda, while facing:
  • headwind due to massive bunker fuel increase and competitive pressure on freight rates
  • some issues in the port of loading in Central-South America, chiefly in CR due to port congestion related to the

construction of a new terminal and natural phenomenon (e.g. heavy rainfall)

  • Import activities improved their contribution to Import & Shipping segment results
  • Banana short supply in Q1 generated better price on imported bananas but reduced the potential loading factor
  • Pineapples experienced some oversupply condition returning poor performances

MID-LONG TERM STRATEGY

20

  • Create commercial synergies on purchases and sales side of Orsero’s Distributing network
  • Increase the operational leverage and cost effectiveness.
  • Drive a path towards product innovation, launching new value-added product and create a new

service approach to customers to differentiate the product offer, strengthening current initiatives:

  • perfectly ripened and ready-to-eat line of exotic fruit (“Maturi al punto giusto”)
  • “fresh cut”
  • Evaluate economic sustainable and accretive investment/partnership into adjacent products (e.g.

dried fruit) and processed fresh produce

  • Sharing of know how
  • Leverage of the Southern-European wide distributing network of Orsero to increase coverage
  • Branding opportunities
  • Within 5 years targeting a share of distribution sales originating from all new and added-value

product families from ~1% to ~10%

  • Keep the current position in the Import of green bananas and pineapples, exploiting the
  • pportunity to grow only in pineapples.

Key topics:

  • Fostering partnership with supplier
  • Monitoring of EUR/USD cross rate
  • Keep running the 4 specialized reefer vessels, evaluating in the long-run possible solution to contain

the volatility and the exposure to shipping activities. Key topics:

  • Book-life up to 2024/2025, expected life in use up to 2028/2029
  • Challenge from reefer container competition
  • Challenge from regulation, the IMO MARPOL 2020 regulation : the solutions to curb Sulphur emission are still debated

within the sector. The main options are scrubber installation versus utilization of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil –“VLSFO”

Distribution Segment Import & Shipping Segment ORSERO GROUP

  • Enhance Fresh F&V Distribution, via internal growth and M&A
  • Reduce dependence on bananas, increasing the weight of other products
slide-21
SLIDE 21

ORSERO GROUP IN A NUTSHELL

21

  • Mix of Entrepreneurial spirit and professional capabilities
  • Proved experience in the fresh F&V market
  • Long term Vision
  • Distribution Segment sales are performing over the market pace
  • Distribution Segment Ebitda is growing as well and the Segment Ebitda ratio to sales (3,4 %) stands at

the high end of the comparable companies

  • Import & Shipping Segment, even if volatile in terms of profitability, generates positive Ebitda and

cash flow

  • Dividend paid in May 2018, 12 €/share for a total outlay of approx. 2 M€
  • Equity structure is solid, key ratios on Proforma FY 2017 figures are:
  • Net Debt to Equity ratio is 0,32
  • Net Debt to Ebitda ratio is 1,48

Leadership Team Economics Market position

  • The Group holds a strong competitive position in the Southern European fresh produce market, with

sales of 938 M€ (Pro-forma 2017)

  • Orsero is a longstanding partner of both suppliers and customers
  • A vast and complete array of fresh fruit and vegetables are marketed in bulk or in customer pack

under leading brands (among which Orsero’s own brand “F.lli Orsero”) and private labels or unbranded M&A/Partnership

  • Possible upside coming from M&A or strategic partnership
  • Interesting opportunities for sector consolidation or widening the product portfolio to adjacent

market (e.g. dried fruit) or alternative consumption proposition (e.g. processed fresh produce)

Inter Segment Service Import & shipping Distribution

CONSOLIDATED NET SALES

NET SALES VARIANCE DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT – MIX SNAPSHOT (*)

  • Net sales H1 2018 are overall close to 470 M€, a level slightly

below last year, equal to -3,7 M€ or –0,8% vs H1 2017 pro- forma.

  • Distribution Segment is almost flat, comprising a very good sales

increase in Spain and of the avocado operation in Mexican balancing the reduction of revenues in Italy and France as a consequence of delays in some seasonal campaigns and in Portugal due to the reposition of volumes towards a more profitable product family

  • Import & Shipping declines by abt. 9 M€, - 7,6%, as a result of lower

selling prices for imported bananas and pineapples (mainly in Q2 2018) and a deflationary effect on shipping revenues originated by weaker USD against EUR(**) despite rising revenues in USD (currency translation effect is estimated to be negative of abt. 11%)

  • Service/Holding sales decline by 0,3 M€ as a consequence of less

intercompany chargebacks

  • Inter Segment eliminations (I/S) negative balance reduces,

reflecting an overall diminishment of inter company sales.
