Comments of the Managing Director
“We are particularly satisfied with the results obtained during the third quarter, despite the problems that persist on the markets,” commented Luciano Facchini, Managing Director of Servizi Italia S.p.A. “These results are better than expected, thanks to the non-cyclical nature of a healthcare-related business and to the continual efforts that go into guaranteeing efficiency in terms of production and financial operations”.
“The investors who have faith in our sector are well aware that the equity story of Servizi Italia is characterised by the highly visible revenues guaranteed by long-term contracts, high entry barriers, excellent organic growth prospects for sterilisation services and, I feel I can confidently say, the stability of the dividend”.
“2010 – Facchini concluded – will be characterised by a growth in revenues and the continual search for ways to reach cost optimisation targets and make production more efficient.”
