Cavriago (Reggio Emilia), 28 August 2012 The Board of Directors of
Landi Renzo SpA met today under the chairmanship of Stefano Landi
to approve the Company's half year financial statements for the
period ending 30 June 2012. The Group recorded an increase in
revenues mainly due to two macro elements: the growth in
registrations of LPG vehicles by car makers in Italy and Europe
with Euro 5 engines and the solid recovery in transformations on
the Aftermarket, both in Italy, and in Far East countries and Latin
America, where the Group is increasing its market penetration. "The
initiatives put in place by the Group in the most recent quarters
have started to produce their first results, thus enabling us, as
early as the first half of 2012, to return a profit and, above all,
produce cash. And this in a very difficult macroeconomic context
said Landi Renzo CEO Claudio Carnevale, To grow we have focussed
on technological and product developments which have enabled us to
strengthen relationships with car manufacturers. In the Aftermarket
channel too the product innovation strategy has produced good
results, allowing us to increase our presence in strategic areas.
This approach explains the commitment to acquire SAFE, the company
which has been active for over 35 years in the manufacture of gas
compressors: we have grounds for believing that, as part of
industrial integration, filling stations could have a parallel
development, or even push the sector of alternative fuels, compared
to CNG fuel systems for motor vehicles."
Consolidated results at 30 June 2012 The Landi Renzo Group ended
the first half of 2012 with net profit of 2.61 million Euro,
compared to a net loss of 2.40 million Euro in the first half of
2011. Revenues stood at 139.16 million Euro, up by 8.9% compared to
the prior-year period. EBITDA totalled 15.89 million Euro, compared
to 10.89 million Euro at 30 June 2011, up by 45.9%. EBIT totalled
6.74 million Euro, compared to 1.80 million Euro at 30 June 2011,
up by 274.8%. In the second quarter of 2012 the Group achieved
revenues of 79.56 million Euro, up by 19.96 million Euro compared
to the first quarter of 2012 (+33.5%). The Group's net profit in
the quarter stood at 3.40 million Euro compared to a loss of 0.82
million Euro in the first quarter of 2012.

Breakdown of revenues Revenues from the sales of LPG systems
totalled 92.45 million Euro, while those from the sale of CNG
systems totalled 39.62 million Euro. Revenues from product sales in
Other sectors (Alarm systems, Sound, Acquatronic and Robotic)
totalled 7.08 million Euro. The geographic breakdown of revenues
shows that in the first half of 2012 the Landi Group realised 69.1%
(82.9% at 30 June 2011) of its consolidated revenues abroad (32.3%
in Europe and 36.8% outside of Europe). The Italian market grew by
96.7% compared to the prior-year period and revenues stood at 42.95
million Euro; this increase was caused by the rise in demand for
vehicles that use cleaner and cheaper fuels (LPG and CNG) and in
particular, in the car manufacturers' channel, by the full market
availability from the start of the year of the completely renewed
product range. The trend in revenues in Europe was also positive
(+35.8%) compared to the first half of 2011: Group sales benefitted
both from the increase of the main markets in the area and from the
positive effect generated by the launch of a renewed product range
for the Aftermarket channel. The South-Western Asia market, as
already highlighted in the first quarter of 2012, saw sales drop by
64.8% compared to the prior-year period, mainly due to a sharp
slowdown in the Iranian and Pakistani markets. Markets in the Rest
of the World recorded an increase of 11.8% compared to the first
half of 2011, following the favourable trend in demand in the Far
East countries where the Group is increasing its penetration, also
thanks to its direct presence. Meanwhile American markets recorded
a slight fall of around 5.8% compared to the prior-year period.
Equity and financial results at 30 June 2012 Net debt at 30 June
2012 amounted to 71.56 million Euro compared to 96.55 million Euro
at 31 March 2012 and 90.11 million Euro at 31 December 2011. The
significant fall in debt, down by 24.99 million Euro in the second
quarter, is attributable to higher profits and the change in net
working capital. Shareholders' equity amounted to 139.85 million
Euro, compared to 135.97 million Euro at 31 March 2012 and 137.00
million Euro at 31 December 2011.
Significant events for the period On 23 May 2012 Landi Renzo S.p.A.
sent Agave S.r.l., a company in liquidation which was preparing to
submit request for arrangement with creditors, an irrevocable
proposal for the temporary lease and subsequent purchase of the
SAFE corporate business. Agave S.r.l., through the SAFE brand, has
operated for over 35 years in the manufacture of gas compressors
that are used for a number of applications; the main business areas
concern compressed natural gas (CNG fuelling systems for motor
vehicles), Oil and Gas (compressors and support systems for gas
processing activities from extraction to distribution), biogas
processing systems, and hydrogen and LNG systems. The lease of the
corporate business was formalised in July and the subsequent final
acquisition is dependent on the approval of the arrangement plan
which will be submitted to creditors by Agave S.r.l.

Outlook The trend in the first half of the year is in line with the
Group's forecasts for 2012 and shows positive results in terms of
both revenues and profits, despite the ongoing difficulties
relating to the macroeconomic scenario and the key market,
including business restrictions caused by specific country
problems, such as in Iran and Pakistan. As for the outlook, for
2012 the Landi Group confirms a positive outlook with revenues
growing by over 5% compared to 2011, as well as an EBITDA margin of
over 10%. The extraordinary operation relating to the possible
acquisition of SAFE could bring additional 2012 revenues for more
than 6 million Euro. In compliance with the provisions of art. 2428
of the Italian Civil Code, it should be noted that during 2011 the
Parent Company did not trade any treasury shares companies and
currently does not hold any treasury shares. The subsidiaries do
not hold any shares of the Parent Company.
