Milan, April 27, 2017 - The Shareholders' AGM of Retelit S.p.A. ("Retelit" or the "Company") today approved the

separate financial statements and reviewed the Group consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016.

The Retelit Group reports significantly improved results for 2016 and for the first time in its history reported a positive EBIT at Euro 2.2 million (EBIT loss of Euro 0.8 million in 2015). Consolidated Revenues were up 17.8% to Euro 49.6 million, thanks to telecommunication service revenues rising 17% to Euro 39.8 million and network usage rights and maintenance increasing 18% to Euro 8.3 million. EBITDA amounts to Euro 14.6 million, up 32.0% on Euro 11.0 million in 2015, with an EBITDA margin of 29.4% (26.2% in 2015). This growth, ahead of plan objectives, was possible thanks to increased revenues, the improved product mix and optimised infrastructure management. The consolidated net profit was Euro 2.9 million, compared to Euro 0.2 million recalculated on a like-for-like basis following the adoption of Hedge Accounting for derivative instruments (the 2015 net profit was Euro 3.4 million with the calculation of derivatives at fair value). The net cash position was Euro 8.1 million, compared to Euro 11.5 million at December 31, 2015.

Revenues of the parent company Retelit S.p.A. grew 3.1% to Euro 2.3 million (Euro 2.2 million in 2015). EBIT improved, although again reporting a loss of Euro 3.5 million compared to the Euro 3.7 million loss in 2015 (+5.6%). The net loss in 2016 was Euro 4.1 million, compared to a loss of Euro 0.7 million in 2015. The Shareholders' AGM approved the carrying forward of the above loss for the year and the partial coverage of the 2016 losses of Euro

37.2 million through full use of the existing reserves and therefore use of the share premium reserve, amounting to Euro 30.9 million, in addition to the rights option reserve, for the share capital increase of July 31, 2008, not exercised and sold on the market, of Euro 2.6 million.
