5 MANAGEMENT REPORT REPORT ON OPERATIONS To our Shareholders, The report for the year ended 31 March 2016, which we submit to you for review, has been prepared in compliance with the instructions in the Borsa Italiana Regulations. Specifically, consolidated financial statements apply the approach set forth by international accounting standards (IASs/IFRSs) adopted by the European Union. COMMENTS ON OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS The following table summarises the Datalogic Group s key operating and financial results as at 31 March 2016 in comparison with the same period a year earlier (figures in Euro thousands): Quarter ended change % change Total revenues 135, ,316 13, % EBITDA (*) 18,820 15,690 3, % % of total revenues 13.9% 12.8% Group net profit/loss 10,073 9, % % of total revenues 7.4% 8.1% Net financial position (NFP) (**) (34,730) (68,676) 33, % (*) EBITDA is a performance indicator not defined under IFRS. However, the management uses it to monitor and assess the company s operating performance, as it is not influenced by volatility due to the various valuation criteria used to determine taxable income, by the total amount and nature of the capital involved or by the related depreciation and amortisation policies. Datalogic defines it as Profit/loss for the period before depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible assets, non-recurring costs, financial income and expenses and income taxes. (**) For the criteria defining the Net Financial Position please see page 8. The first quarter ended with a net profit of 10.1 million, slightly up compared to the first quarter of 2015, and highlights a remarkable growth in all the main economic indicators, primarily due to a strong market growth in the Retail segment in Europe and North America. EBITDA increased by 19.9% and stood at 18.8 million thanks to the improvement of the operating leverage. Management Report as at

To permit comparability with the financial statements, we have in any case included a further intermediate profit margin ( Operating result ) that includes non-recurring costs/revenues and depreciation and amortisation due to acquisitions and which matches figures reported in year-end financial statements. It is noted that figures as at 31 March 2015 were reclassified under various items to render them consistent with figures related to For the details, reference is made to the Annex to the Financial Statements.

The item Financial income/(expenses) improved by 379 thousand, mainly due to the entering into a new loan agreement with a pool of banks for the amount of 140 million on 24 February 2015 and the redemption, at the same time, of previous loans amounting to 126 million. This transaction allowed for an increase in the average life of the financial debt and the reduction in the related charges. The item Bank expenses (improved by 1,305 thousand), mainly includes: - the portion pertaining to the upfront fees period, paid upon opening of long-term loans, in the amount of 53 thousand, ( 1,262 thousand as at 31 March 2015, of which 1,250 thousand connected with the early redemption of some long-term loans); Management Report as at

12 - factoring costs, amounting to 92 thousand ( 214 thousand as at 31 March 2015), related to commissions without recourse. Losses generated by companies carried at equity were recognised in the amount of 145 thousand ( 60 thousand as at 31 March 2015). OUTLOOK FOR CURRENT YEAR AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The results achieved in the first quarter confirm the Group positive trends, especially in the markets in Europe and North America, which recorded a double digit growth compared to the same quarter of 2015 (+12.2% and +15.3%, respectively, at constant Euro/Dollar exchange rates). This growth proves the success on the market that our technological solutions are enjoying, thanks to an intensive R&D activity and a more canalised response to market needs, with special focus on the range of applications aimed at the retail, transport and logistics sectors, manufacturing industry and healthcare. Significant investments are still being made in R&D and, starting from the second half of the year, the Group will benefit from the positive effects that are expected from the streamlining of production and operating costs resulting from the reorganisation and centralisation projects of Group activities and functions.

22 The change in Goodwill, compared to 31 December 2015, is mainly attributable to translation differences. Goodwill has been allocated to the CGUs (cash generating units) corresponding to the individual companies and/or sub-groups to which they pertain. As highlighted in the paragraph included in the section on accounting standards and policies used in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, to which reference should be made, in compliance with IFRS 3, goodwill has not been amortised since 1 January 2004 and is tested for impairment each year unless evidence of impairment suggests the need for more frequent testing. The estimated recoverable value of each CGU, associated with each goodwill item measured, consists of its corresponding value in use. Value in use is calculated by discounting the future cash flows generated by the CGU during production and at the time of its retirement to present value using a certain discount rate, based on the Discounted cash flow method. There were no write-downs as at 31 March Development costs, which amount to 4,705 thousand, consist of specific development projects capitalised when they meet IAS 38 requirements and in compliance with Group policies, which call for the capitalisation only of projects relating to development of products featuring significant innovation. The Others item, which amounts to 44,489 thousand, consists primarily of intangible assets acquired through business combinations carried out by the Group, which are specifically identified and valued in the context of purchase accounting.

The Assets in progress and payments on account item, equal to 3,677 thousand, is attributable, in the amount of 3,110 thousand, to the capitalisation of costs relating to the R&D projects with the features required by IAS 38 and currently still underway, as well as, in the amount of 567 thousand, to software implementations that are not yet completed.
