Performance of the Portfolio Companies
In the first quarter of the year, the Italmobiliare Group continued to grow, with revenue increasing for all of the industrial Portfolio Companies.
In the food sector, Caffè Borbone posted revenue of 88.9 million euro in the quarter, up 6.3%. At channel level, during the period the company consolidated its leadership in the Large-Scale Retail Trade, confirming itself as the leading brand in terms of sales volumes in single-serve products. Growth also continues abroad, particularly the American market which is recording increases of over 50%. The gross operating profit for the quarter was 12.7 million euro, down 6.5 million euro on the previous year due to the record price of coffee at origin, which led to an increase in procurement costs of over 40%, with a rise in expenditure of 14.5 million. In this challenging context, the company is still proving itself capable of maintaining a good margin on sales (14.3%). There was an excellent performance on the part of Capitelli, which in a challenging market context is seeing growth in both revenue (+6.4% to 6.2 million euro), mainly thanks to the rise in sales volumes, and gross operating profit (+21.8% to 1.2 million).
Turnover up to 14.3 million euro (+20.6%) for Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, with double-digit growth across all sales channels. Retail has seen a 17.2% increase, due to good like-for-like performance and the contribution made by new stores opened during the last year; the results of e-commerce and the wholesale channel were also positive. All segments of the offer are growing, in particular fragrances and body care products. The gross operating profit doubled compared with the same period last year, reaching 2.2 million euro.

In the first three months of the year ISEO posted a turnover of 37.4 million euro, up 17.8% compared with the same period of the previous year, which was affected by critical issues related to the adoption of the new ERP system that prevented the company from fulfilling all of its order book.

Bene Assicurazioni closes the quarter with premium income of 83.3 million euro, up 21.3% thanks to the positive performance of all sales channels. Good results also for the auto sector, which contributes approximately two thirds of the Company's overall premium income.
