Sorgenia’s EBITDA decline in the first half of 2012 is mainly due to: decreasing income from electricity production due to the slowdown of electricity demand (-2.8%) and lower margins because of high gas costs in Italy decreasing income from electricity distribution due to increased competition and lower than expected switch rate of residential customers to the open market lower income from renewables due to divestment of non-core assets and deconsolidation of Wind France in 2011, which resulted in lower debt

1H net result was affected by writedowns of €13m on exploration activities. Proceeds from the announced sale of the Orlando exploration field are not included 2Q results are lower than 1Q due to seasonality effect Increase in NFP vs. 4Q 2011 is mainly due to the completion of the CCGT investment plan Sorgenia has already taken a number of actions to counter the recession and the difficulties in the market: renegotiation of gas sourcing contracts, reduction of operating costs, potential disposal of non-strategic assets

In the first half 2012 the slowdown in the automotive sector in certain important markets continued: -6.8% in new car registrations in Europe, slowing demand in Brazil and China, while North America, India, Russia and Japan continued to grow

Sogefi closed the first half of 2012 with an increase of 30.4% in revenues and 28.9% in EBITDA despite the difficult economic conditions, thanks to the consolidation of Systèmes Moteurs. At constant perimeter revenues and EBITDA would have slightly decreased.

A scenario of market and commodity price stability and continuing cost cutting actions shouId enable Sogefi to achieve economic results in the second half of the year in line with those obtained in the first half
