***

As a consequence of the underwriting of the agreement to sell 100% of the steelcord activities, that business has been classified as a “discontinued operation” and the reclassified results are in the accounts under the heading “results of disposed operating activities”. The economic indicators relative to 31 December 2014 thus refer to the activities in function and the comparative data of 31 December 2013 have been restated. The 2014 targets – previously indicated using a like-for-like perimeter – have been rectified, excluding the steelcord contribution and are now >€6.0/<6.1 billion for revenues and c. €840 million for EBIT.

The Board of Directors of Pirelli & C. SpA met today to review and approve results for the year ended December 31st, 2014. The year’s performance, which saw growth in the main economic indicators, was characterised in particular by:

• growth above expectations of the Premium segment, with volumes increasing 17.8% (above the 2014 target of >16%), and the consequent strengthening of Pirelli’s positioning in all main geographical areas, in particular Apac. Premium revenues accounted for 55% of Consumer revenues, an increase from 50.8% in 2013;
• the price/mix component at +4.2% (in line with the 2014 target of about +4%/~+5%) thanks to the performance of Premium, the greater weight of sales in the replacement channel and price increases in emerging markets to compensate for currency devaluations;
• organic growth in revenues +5.9% (-0.7% net of the negative forex variation of 6.6%). As well as the already mentioned price/mix, higher volumes (+2%) also contributed. The 5% volume growth in the Consumer business, in particular, offset the 6.5% decline in volumes of the Industrial business which discounts the unfavourable economic context of the Latam market, in particular in Original Equipment;
• the achievement of internal efficiencies of €92.4 million (in line with the annual target of approximately €90 million of the approximately €350 million four-year efficiencies plan for 2014-2017);
• the marked improvement in profitability, with EBIT growth of 6.8% to €837.9 million (in line with the target of circa €840 million) and an EBIT margin of 13.9% – with growth of one percentage point compared with 12.9% at the end of 2013 – thanks to the Premium strategy, price increases in emerging markets, and the efficiencies which more than offset the negative forex impact and inflation in production factors.
• forex volatility only partially influenced the operating results at the group level thanks to Pirelli’s ever more balanced presence in the various geographic regions and to the production policy of our factories which are approximately 80% dedicated to supplying demand from local markets.
• the positive performances in the Apac, Europa and Nafta areas, with respective revenue growth of 17.5% (Apac) and approximately 5% in Europe and Nafta and an improvement in profitability which attenuated the effects of the slowdown in the South American market;
• the turnaround of the business in Russia, characterised by a marked improvement in the product mix and positive “mid-single-digit” profitability from “negative” in 2013, and improvement in the MEAI area;
• net profit of 332.8 million euro, an increase of 8.6% after the impact of the devaluation of the Venezuela exchange rate (72 million euro) and the adjustment of shareholdings (-87 million euro);
• cash generation before dividends and the steelcord disposal above expectations at approximately €311.6 million (above the 2014 target of >€250 million). Taking receipts from the steelcord disposal into account, cash generation before dividends was approximately €499.5 million;
• the improvement in the net financial position which as at 31 December 2014 was €979.6 million after the disposal of steelcord or, excluding the disposal of the steelcord activities, €1.167.5 billion, better than the 2014 target of approximately €1.2 billion. In the fourth quarter, in particular, the net financial position saw an improvement of over €1 billion, mainly thanks to the operating result, the positive performance of working capital and the impact of the disposal of the steelcord business;
• Investments in research and development of 205.5 million euro, equal to 3.4% of sales, of which 174.5 million euro for activities linked to Premium products, equal to 6.9% of the segment’s sales;
• significant steps towards the achievement of the group’s sustainability goals. In 2014 the Green Performance tyres represented about 46% of total sales for Pirelli which has reduced the specific drawing of water by 19%, energy consumption by 3% and CO2 emissions by 2%. This commitment is evidenced by the company’s inclusion in the most important sustainability indices at the world level, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, where the group has lead the ATX Auto Components sector eight consecutive years; the FTSE4Good Index where Pirelli earned a score of 100/100 and the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index, where it beat all competitors.
