AIM Italia market update 2Q 2017 - Matter of Fact by CFO SIM
AIM Italia total market capitalisation grew by almost 10% in 2Q 2017 thanks to capital appreciation of existing companies. During 2Q 2017 there were three admissions to AIM Italia, one delisting and one company moved successfully from AIM Italia to the Main Market (MTA), bringing total listed companies to 80. The sharp increase in volumes traded noted in the first quarter of 2017 has been reinforced throughout the second quarter.
Thanks to the introduction of the PIR ‘Piani Individuali Risparmio’, or ‘Individual Savings Plan’, AIM Italia was definitely the most interesting Italian market segment in 2017 for increased liquidity and absolute performance. A total of 80 companies were listed at the end of the second quarter, with an aggregate market capitalisation close to € 4Bn.
2. 2Q 2017 REPORT
OVERVIEW
2
The strong results shown in 1Q 2017 have continued throughout the second quarter, the FTSE AIM growing by 11.7%
compared to 0.45% for the FTSE MIB and 1.96% for the FTSE STAR, with a significant increase in liquidity YoY.
The number of companies in the Italian stock exchange remains almost unchanged, consisting of 261 companies listed on the
main market (MTA – Mercato Telematico Azionario), of which 73 on the Star segment, and 80 companies listed on the AIM
Italia (MTF).
AIM Italia continues to be the most dynamic segment of the Italian markets. Market Cap continues to rise despite successful
companies uplisting onto the main market (in the case of 2Q 2017 LU-VE S.p.A.), and we note that AIM Italia is continuing to
attract more attention from investors (both domestically and internationally). This can be seen from the dramatic increases in
liquidity and in the fact that all three IPOs in 2Q 2017 were oversubscribed.

3. 2Q 2017 REPORT
3
AIM Italia total market capitalisation grew by 10.7% in 2Q 2017 in particular thanks to capital appreciation of existing
companies. It is important to underline that on the 21st of June the second largest company of the market in terms of market
capitalisation, LU-VE S.p.A., moved to the MTA with a negative effect of more than € 300M on the index shown below.
The upward trend begun at the end of 2016 has persisted and even steepened compared to the 1Q 2017. It reached a peak at
the beginning of June and then remained stable for the rest of the month but with extremely high volumes.
The market remained quite diversified by industry as a result of a small number of companies which entered and left the
market. The “Consumer service” industry counts for 22% whereas “financials”, “technology” and “industrials” make up 14.8%
of AIM companies each.
The market cap range on AIM Italia is € 1 – 354 M, with an average of € 48.7M. Thanks to capital appreciation the market cap
curve is gradually shifting right with around 41% of the companies having a market cap higher than € 40M (the minimum
requirement for a listing on the MTA) and 10 companies exceed € 100M demonstrating a gradual increase in average and
median size of components.

During 2Q 2017 there were three admissions to AIM Italia, one delisting and one company moved successfully from AIM Italia
to the Main Market (MTA), bringing total listed companies to 80.
These 3 IPOs, which raised on average € 15M, were oversubscribed and exhibited strong results. In particular the
performance during the first day of trading was on average 16.6% with significant volumes (almost 20% of the free float was
traded). All these 3 companies strongly outperformed the market index and showed above average liquidity.
The AIM Italia components show some high volatility of returns with a daily median standard deviation growing up to 2.7% in
June. The volatility of returns remained roughly at the same level of the 1st quarter but a slight decrease in standard deviation
of negative returns and an increase in standard deviation of positive returns should be noted.
Regarding the performance of the 80 stocks, 70% of the companies reported positive returns during 2nd quarter, of which 9
grew by more than 50%.

The sharp increase in volumes traded noted in the first quarter of 2017 has been reinforced throughout the second quarter,
particularly from May 2017. As you can see from the graph below, the market has dramatically changed in the last year,
showing almost 10 times the traded value of the same period in 2016. € 589M were traded during the second quarter, more
than twice the amount of the previous quarter, equating to an average of € 2.5M per company per month.
The upward trend in volumes continues as demonstrated by daily traded market cap which has grown from 0.037% in the 1st
quarter up to 0.075% during the second one. A similar trend was exhibited in daily turnover of the entire market which has
been constantly over € 5M with a peak of 26.3 million on June 5th. Only during the second half of June did the liquidity seems
to decline even though this is partially due to uplisting bias.
This increase in liquidity is also seen in the number of companies trading every day throughout the quarter; from just 15 in the
first quarter of this year it has almost doubled to 28.
Finlogic has also issued stock warrants assigned for free to IPO subscribers whereas Digital360 has issued a € 2M
convertible bond listed on the AIM Italia as well.

Thanks to the introduction of the PIR ‘Piani Individuali Risparmio’, or ‘Individual Savings Plan’, AIM Italia was definitely the
most interesting Italian market segment in 2017 for increased liquidity and absolute performance.
A total of 80 companies were listed at the end of the second quarter, with an aggregate market capitalisation close to € 4Bn
(+50% compared to the first half of 2016) and the IPO pipeline is still strong: Borsa Italiana forecasts at least 30 new listings
in 2017 (there have been 11 up to 2Q 2017), the majority of which aiming for the AIM Italia segment.
As expected the liquidity grew dramatically throughout 2Q 2017 (+124% compared to 1Q); we stick to our positive view on the
trend (total turnover in 1H 2017 was more than 500% higher than 1H 2016), and predict a lower but more sustainable growth
pace for the future.
Lastly, worth mentioning is the increase in foreign investors that are coming to the market: 62% of total institutional investors.
Bio On remains broadly the most traded title with 30.6 million in the quarter followed by SMRE and Orsero.
Fourteen companies traded more than € 10M in the quarter, of which three companies trading more than € 50M – Safe Bag
SpA, Bio On SpA and Orsero SpA. Conversely it is interesting to notice that the number of companies trading less than € 1M
decresed from 30 to 14.
