Net debt as of March 31st 2018 is €290.4 million, (€276.0 million at the end of 2017). In March 2018 Anima Holding paid around €58 million dividend for 2017FY.

"With the first quarter of 2018, the Group's figures show the first positive impacts of the acquisition of Aletti Gestielle, which marks an additional step along the growth path we started years ago, and that we pursued according to the strategic lines outlined at the time of our 2014 IPO.

What we developed since the inception of ANIMA, and constantly improved, is a business model based on long-term partnerships and supported by an extremely lean and efficient platform.

In a sector subject to margin pressure, ANIMA stands out thanks to the ability to generate and increase its operating leverage and to become further available to leverage the role of aggregator in a highly fragmented industry" commented Marco Carreri, Anima Holding S.p.A. CEO.
