Between 2011 and 2012 the Italian retail credit market suddenly
collapsed because of the financial crisis

New mortgage applications in Italy
YoY Change (percent)
•First phase:
severe supply
restrictions
(starting Sep
2011)
•Second phase
(from 2012/13):
complete lack of
demand
In 2 yrs
-70%
1. Restructure (to survive with -70% loan volumes)
- Adjustment of media spend in Broking (semi-automatic, because of lower demand)
- Reduction of excess capacity (i.e. many layoffs), especially in BPO
- Drastic reduction of variable compensation
- Review all other costs
2. Create cash buffer (just in case Italy went under)
- Borrow in 2011 just before window closes, despite positive cash position
- Drastically reduce dividend payout

FIRST:
STABILIZE
BUSINESS
TO SURVIVE
SECOND:
DIVERSIFY TO
RE-CREATE
GROWTH
The collapse of our reference market forced us to intervene
forcefully to stabilise the business and re-create growth

Some final deep thoughts on change
Shit happens… for us three times in 14 years
When in trouble you should not complain but roll up your
sleeves, fix broken things and start back from what is left
You deliver more when your back is against the wall… but it is
not a fun experience
Focus delivers the highest value, but some diversification (and
cash) can protect your company
