FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS – 1Q 2009
Consolidated revenues increased to € 110.3 million (+ 5.0%) compared to € 104.9 million in 1Q 2008.

Ebitda reached € 11.5 million with an Ebitda margin of 10.5% that reflects both, the impact of lower revenue growth, particularly abroad, and the integration and re-launch of Mandarina Duck, acquired in June 2008.
