NWC/Total Revenues

6% 14% Trade Receivables increase

€28m versus last year due to (i.)

the roll-out of the ERP platform

in H2 2013. The underlying

clients have been invoiced

and are gradually paying their

invoices, and there is c. €18m

more cash embedded in

receivables; (ii.) late payments

from banks clients (c. €3m) and

corporate clients (c. €4m); and

(iii.) by the growth of the Credit

Management division (c. €3m)

The increase in Trade Payables

includes €8m related to

transaction expenses arising

from the IPO

The decrease in Deferred

Revenues reflects the

combination of slightly lower

sales coupled with higher

consumption

Net Working Capital

Key highlights Net Working Capital (€m)

EBITDA-Capex of 82% of EBITDA

in line with recent years

Operating Cash Flow of €47.7m

in H1 2014 vs €61.8m in H1 2013

due to:

€18m higher current

receivables which are

converting to cash in

July and August

€1.3m higher payables

linked to the

development of the

Credit Management

business

VAT payments in January are

higher by €6.5m due to the

carryover of Dec 2013 late

invoicing attributable to the

roll-out of the new ERP system

Net Debt/ LTM EBITDA declines

to 3.3x at H1 2014 vs 4.8x in Q1

outflows of c. €7m of IPO costs,

including €2.5m prepayment

penalties on the FRNs and
