We now expect the group s turnover to reach 649.3m in 2006, +28.1% Y/Y, and 2006 at 87.7m, +58.5% Y/Y, or a 13.5% margin. We expect 2006 net profit to come in at 24m, +87.2% Y/Y, as a result of almost stable D&A costs (+6.5% Y/Y), following the improved profitability of the drilling division (drilling equipment + drilling services), partly offset by forex charges of 3.5m. A potential capital increase The board of directors has been authorised by the extraordinary shareholders meeting to increase the share capital within five years up to a maximum of 10% of the current capital (6.4m ordinary shares with a nominal value of 0.50). The capital increase shall be finalized through an increase completely or partially reserved to Italian or foreign institutional investors, with the exclusion of option rights and/or through the issue of a convertible bond by one of the group s Italian or foreign subsidiary reserved to Italian or foreign institutional investors, entailing no rights issue. Note the potential exclusion of the option rights: in our opinion, the capital increase will be finalised if the Trevi group gains a sizable order in the drilling division. This should allow for the entry into the group s capital of an industrial partner, thus sustaining company growth. Outperform rating confirmed Price target from 7.40 to 7.70 We have updated our sum-of-the-parts (SOP) analysis, based on the group s four divisions, increasing our valuation from 7.40 to 7.60. A DCF analysis (7.2% WACC and 2.0% perpetual growth rate) points to a fair value of 7.80. Based on the two valuation approaches, we are increasing our target price to 7.70 per share (from 7.40), showing 20% upside on the current share price. This would imply 5.9x and 16.1x EV/ and P/E respectively, which are not demanding multiples also given the 2006-08e EPS CAGR of 20.3% and the 0.7 PEG ratio.

Executive summary We are increasing our 2006e and 20 EPS by 8.6% and 8.4% respectively, as a result of the positive results posted in the first half of the year. We now expect the group s turnover to reach 649.3m in 2006, +28.1% Y/Y, and of 87.7m, +58.5% Y/Y, or a 13.5% margin. Net profit is expected to come in at 24m, +87.2% Y/Y, as a result of almost stable D&A costs (+6.5% Y/Y), following the improved profitability of the drilling division (drilling equipment + drilling services), partly offset by forex charges of 3.5m.

On the next page, we highlight the group s consolidated results and break down the results by business division. The slowdown in the group s profitability recorded in the second quarter of the year vs Q1 was largely expected and mainly due to: the difficult comparison base between the two quarters. 1Q06 (14.9% margin in Q1 vs. 10.8% in Q2) was exceptional, fuelled by a strong contribution of the drilling service and drilling equipment divisions, with margins of 33% and 10%/12% respectively; the slowdown of activity on the domestic market, which affected the profitability of the foundation works division. Against this backdrop, the management has made efforts to focus on the foundation works business in North America, through its close relationship with the US Army (see the several orders won to refurbish US dams) and to the last USD 12m contract for consolidation work for Diavik Diamond Mines based in Canada, to the detriment of one of the group s main competitors in this business. We expect 2H06 turnover to be in line with that of 1H06, as a result of the lower sales volatility mentioned above, and higher profitability (14.1% vs. 12.9% recorded in H1), thanks to the greater impact of the drilling business in Q3 and Q4. 20 September 2006 2

Net debt increased by some 22.4m (from 126m as of 31/12/05 to 148.4m). We expect operating free cash flow generation in 2H06 of some 17m, leading to a net financial position of 131.4m, as a result of: capex of 22m in H2 ( 40m for the full year); an improvement in net working capital as a percentage of sales from 15.3% to 13.0%. 20 September 2006 3

Assuming net working capital remains stable as a percentage of sales from 2007 going forward, Trevi should start to generate cash from 2007 (some 20/30m per year).

Valuation We updated our sum-of-the-parts (SOP) analysis based on the group s four divisions (Foundation works, Foundation equipment, Drilling service and Drilling equipment), increasing our valuation from 7.40 to 7.60. A DCF analysis based on a 7.2% WACC and a 2.0% perpetual growth rate points to a fair value of 7.80, confirming our SOP valuation. Note that our DCF model discounts a 200 bps drop in the exit margin compared to the 13.5% expected in 2006, reflecting the cyclicality of the main reference markets. Based on the two valuation approaches, we increase our target price to 7.70 per share (from 7.40), showing a 16% upside on the current share price. This would imply 5.9x and 16.1x EV/ and P/E respectively, which are not demanding multiples, also given the 06e-08e EPS CAGR of 20.3% and the 0.7 PEG ratio. Our SOP: a peers multiple comparison by business line We used the following specific peer multiples for each business line: Foundation works (also including the parking unit Trevipark): we applied to the group s core business (50.3% of 20 group sales), the 5.3x EV/ consensus average multiple of Keller and Bauer, the closest peers in this business division. Trevi Group: Foundation works profitability vs. peers Sales margin Keller (GBP m) 936.7 76.9 8.2% Bauer (EUR m) 961.4 124.7 13.0% Trevi - Foundation works 378.0 54.7 14.5% Trevi Group: Foundation works peer multiples EV/Sales EV/ Keller 0.5x 5.9x Bauer 0.5x 4.2x Average 0.5x 5.1x 20 September 2006 5

Foundation equipment (Soilmec 20.0% of 20 group sales): we applied the EV/ consensus average of the US machinery producers Caterpillar, the British group FKI and Swedish companies Atlas Copco and Sandvik.

Such an approach might be considered too optimistic, but we did not apply any discount because: 20 September 2006 6

1. Drillmec is the only Italian manufacturer of drilling equipment; 2. the significant difference in profitability is mainly justified by the fact that the company is still in its start-up phase; 3. the superior technological level of the subsidiary s equipment compared to the competitors average, allowing better performances (in the range of 30%- 40%) of the group s products; 4. the excellent feedback from the major US drilling operators on Drillmec equipments after the start-up period. This explains the recent orders gained by the subsidiary.

Our DCF points to 7.80 per share Our DCF analysis based on a 7.2% WACC and a 2% perpetual growth rate points to a fair value of 7.80. Note that our DCF model discounts: a 200 bps drop in the end-of-period margin compared to 13.5% expected in 2006, thus reflecting the cyclicality of the main reference markets; based on an academic approach, we set capex projections equal to depreciation and provisions in 2009e and 2010e. We assumed a WACC of 7.2%, based on the following assumptions: a risk-free rate at 4.5%; beta at 1.2 (the level we tend to apply to small/mid caps in the light of these stock s modest liquidity); cost of debt (gross) of 6%; debt-to-total-capital employed of 60%, reflecting a 2006e 1.1x debt to equity ratio; The tables below summarises our free cash flow projections and our DCF analysis: Trevi Group: free cash flow projection ( m) 2006e 20 2008e 2009e 2010e EBITA 59.3 72.1 77.8 79.0 77.1 Taxes -26.7-32.5-35.0-35.6-34.7 Tax-rate 45.0% 45.0% 45.0% 45.0% 45.0% NOPLAT 32.6 39.7 42.8 43.5 42.4 Depreciation & other provisions 28.4 33.8 38.7 43.0 47.1 Operating Cash Flow 61.0 73.5 81.5 86.5 89.5 Capex -40.0-30.0-30.0-43.0-47.1 Change in Net Working Capital -12.1-13.8-12.9-11.5-6.7 Operating free cash flow 8.9 29.6 38.6 32.0 35.7 Trevi Group: DCF valuation ( m) 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 WACC 7.2% 7.2% 7.2% 7.2% 7.2% Discount rate 1.00 0.93 0.87 0.81 0.76 Discounted Operating Free Cash Flow 8.9 27.6 33.6 26.0 27.1 Cumulated DFOCF 8.9 36.5 70.1 96.1 123.2 20 September 2006 8
