Sales revenues expected to grow in 2017 Sales revenues of 91 million euros to 30 June 2017, 22.5% up on the 74.3 million euros to 30 June 2016 Consolidated EBITDA before non-recurring items up by 37.7% to 3.4 million euros compared to 2.5 million euros to 30 June 2016 Formigine, 29 September 2017 The Board of Directors of SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A., a manufacturer of complete plants for the world ceramic industry listed on the AIM Italia stock market (Ticker: SITI), approved the Interim Financial Report to 30 June We are pleased with the performance of the first half of 2017 despite its lack of historic significance given the seasonal nature of orders. We have continued our strategy based on R&D investments and on the development of our international network involving the opening of the new branch in Dubai, - commented Fabio Tarozzi, Chairman and Managing Director of SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A. MAIN CONSOLIDATED RESULTS TO 30 JUNE 2017 In the first half of 2017, SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A. posted sales revenues of 91 million euros, 22.5% up on the 74.3 million euros of the same period in As in previous years, the seasonal nature of orders means that the revenues generated in the first half are not proportional to those reported by the Group annually. The value of billable orders already received as of 30 June 2017

2 added to turnover already generated was 13.9% up with respect to the same period the previous year. The EBITDA of SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A. before non-recurring items to 30 June 2017 totalled 3.4 million euros (3.7% of revenues), an improvement on the 2.5 million euros to 30 June 2016 (3.3% of revenues) but still not representative of the 2017 full-year results given that the first half revenues, as in previous years, are not proportional to the total revenues expected for the full year. The net profits of SITI-B&T GROUP S.p.A. to 30 June 2017 was negative by 1.2 million euros compared to the negative result of 1.1 million euros to 30 June The consolidated net financial position as of 30 June 2017 was 48.4 million euros compared to 32.6 million euros at 31 December 2016 and 45.9 million euros at 30 June Borrowings, mainly absorbed by the increase in Working Capital, are in line with the larger number of orders due to be shipped in the second half of the year. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THE HALF YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2017 World network The investment policy for the SITI-B&T Group s global network development programme continued in the first half of 2017, leading to the opening of the new SITI Middle East branch located in Dubai. New products The Technology Centre in Formigine continued to develop new products such as the innovative SUPERA large-format ceramic slab production line and the new thermal machines combining lower consumption with reduced atmospheric emissions. The company Ancora continued development of a line of products for the treatment of ceramic surfaces without the use of water, while Projecta continued to develop a new dry digital decoration machine called DryFix. Outlook for the current year Given the order book level and the good market outlook, it is reasonable to expect an increase in sales revenues in 2017 with respect to the previous year.
