Net Working Capital at 13.0% of

Revenues versus 11.0% in

September 2015 (based on LTM

revenues including acquisitions)

Trade Receivables increased by

€14.2m versus the prior year. The

increase derives from (i.)

underlying growth in particular in

the Credit Management division,

(ii) recent M&A activity (c. €4.0m)

(iii) late-paying clients and in

particular financial institutions

A portion of such increase will be

structural to the business

Deferred Revenues increased by

€2.5m reflecting the upward

trend in the sale of pre-paid

points by the Corporate sales

force, as well as the

consolidation of Fox & Parker

Similarly to H1’16, the increase in

inventory of c. €1m is due to the

impact of goods held for sale on

behalf of banks
