The collaboration between Clabo and the Asian branch of Starbucks has begun. The agreement for the supply of showcases, worth approximately $ 1.5 billion, was reached during the ‘2018 Barista Regional Area Championship & Functional Forum’, organised in Ho Chi Minh City at Starbucks Corp. Clabo developed 4 showcase models with 2 variants per model for a total of 8 versions. The marketing will begin by November, starting in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines and Singapore. “We are very satisfied with this agreement – Clabo’s Chairman, Pierluigi Bocchini comments – because it is a sign that our strategy of bringing production closer to the sales markets, as well as maintaining the italian design, is bearing fruit. The development of the relationship with Starbucks was on going for about 18 months, but in the end we managed to find an agreement that greatly satisfied both parties, whose value for Clabo Easy Best, when fully operational, could reach 1.5 million dollars per year. Now we hope to extend the collaboration also in other areas of the world, even if the Asian region has one of the highest new opening rates. “The agreement – adds Bocchini – comes at the end of a very satisfying semester for Clabo, which saw its consolidated revenues rise to almost 31 million euros, from 25 in the same period last year (+ 22%), and with a significant increase in EBITDA and the Net Result. Moreover, the NFP is down compared to March 31, 2018 by over 2 million to 23.2 million.” This data is proforma. After the Board meeting scheduled for September 14th, the completed data will be released.

Aim Osservatorio: 13 listed regions. Portale Sardinia among 3 SMEs of the South There are 13 Italian regions present on AIM Italia, with a total amount of over 4.6 billion euros in terms of aggregate revenues and over 20,000 jobs. This is what emerges from the territorial analysis by IR Top Consulting’s Osservatorio for AIM Italia. Representing Sardinia, among the companies listed from the south, is Portale Sardegna, an online travel agency founded in 2001 with the aim of promoting the tourism potential of the region, today a consolidated view of the online tourism market. Specialised in the incoming segment, it provides both aggregated tourism products as packages and individual services. In 2017 it recorded a Production Value of € 5.8 million, an increase of 29.5% compared to 2016 and EBITDA of € 0.32 million, a significant increase compared to the € 0.07 million of euro in 2016, with an EBITDA margin of 5.5%. Lombardy is the most important region on AIM Italia in terms of listed companies (51%), capital raised in IPO (77%, equal to 2.5 billion euro), turnover (42%, equal to 2.0 billion euros) and market capitalisation (4.0 billion euros, equal to 50%). In 2018 it is ranked first in terms of IPO (67%) and funding (93%). In second place is Emilia Romagna, characterised by companies with industrial business models, in terms of turnover (23%, equal to 1.1 billion euro), capitalisation (24%, equal to 1,9 billion euros) and capital collected (331 million euros). This is followed by Veneto, which accounts for 14% of turnover (646 million euros) and 9% in terms of capitalisation (731 million euros). Finally, Lazio, which represents 8% for turnover (356 million euros) and 6% in terms of capitalization (455 million euros). Southern Italy accounts for 3%, with 3 regions: Sardinia, Puglia and Campania. “From the results by the AIM Italia Osservatorio – commented Anna Lambiase, Founder and CEO of IR Top Consulting – it has emerged that Southern Italy currently accounts for only 3% of AIM, with 1 company from Sardinia, 1 from Puglia, and 1 from Campania, thanks to 2 IPOs in 2017 (Portal Sardegna, Online Travel Agency for the tourism potential of Sardinia, and Finlogic, active in the Information Technology sector with solutions for the coding and automatic identification of products) and 1 in 2018 (Sciuker Frames, active in the design and production of environmentally sustainable windows) for a total collection of 13 million euros.” “Southern Italy – adds Lambiase – presents aggregate revenues of 39 million euros, a capitalisation of 71 million euros, capital raised of 13 million euros and about 140 employees. The AIM market, with an overall collection of over € 4 billion since 2009, represents for Italy a stock market that strongly supports the growth of SMEs. Listing on AIM Italia is an option worth considering, especially for SMEs wishing to invest in their growth without losing control of the company: listing is an opportunity for great visibility and with significant returns. Moreover, starting this year, companies’ access to the capital market is facilitated: there are incentives available for listing, introduced by the Budget Law 2018, which cuts IPO costs by 50% for tax credit operations and which is supported until 2020.” THE AIM COMPANIES: 4AIM SICAF: 0,00% Abitare In: -1,27% Agatos: -4,37% Alfio Bardolla Training Group: -4,82% Alkemy: 0,51% Alp.I: -1,25% Ambromobiliare: -1,02% Archimede: -1,44% Askoll EVA: -7,84% Assiteca: -4,73% axélero: sosp.
