The Board of Fiera Milano in Italy has posted double-digit growth in the first nine months of 2025, with revenues up 26% at €231.8m and net profit up 10% to €17.1m compared to the same period in 2024.
The company also generated €35m in cash in the first nine months of the year. The Board also confirmed, in its consolidated results statement for the period, its 2025 guidance and expected revenues between €350-€370m.
The Fiera also noted the signing of an agreement with the orth American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM) to develop HostMilano in the United States.
Fiera Milano, the Board added, had been again awarded CPHi 2026 and EMO 2027, world-leading events in the pharmaceutical and metalworking sectors respectively, consolidating the group’s role as an international hub for major travelling exhibitions.
Fiera Milano is also to host the World Gas Conference 2028, which is expected to welcome more than 30,000 participants.
Fiera Milano will also chair exhibition industry association UFI’s Sustainability Committee for the 2026–2029 term.
Fiera Milano CEO Francesco Conci, commented: “In the first nine months of 2025, Fiera Milano confirmed a solid and sustained growth trajectory, with revenues up 26% and EBITDA up 15% compared to the previous year, demonstrating the strength of our business model and our ability to continuously generate value. The results exceeded expectations, with over €35m in cash generated. The positive contribution of all business lines, particularly the congress and services segments, supported the Group’s balanced growth even in a heterogeneous market environment, confirming the effectiveness of our diversification strategies and the overall solidity of our model.
“The success of events such as Gastech, Tuttofood and Bit, along with the congress segment’s growth of over 30%, driven by major international events, underscores Fiera Milano’s and Allianz MiCo’s central role in the European exhibition and congress landscape. Meanwhile, we have taken important steps on the strategic and international fronts: from the acquisition of Expotrans, which strengthens our integrated service offering, to the agreement with NAFEM for the development of HostMilano in the United States and the awarding of the World Gas Conference 2028.”
Conci said he looked forward to the fourth quarter “with confidence, driven by the success of HostMilano and the launch of Host Arabia, and we confirm our 2025 guidance, with expected revenues between €350-€370m.”
Fiera Milano’s positive revenue trend in the first nine months reflected both a performance effect, driven by stronger organic results and the launch of new events, and a calendar effect. The period benefited from the solid performance of annual exhibitions, further supported by the introduction of new exhibitions, such as Artigiano in Fiera, Anteprima d’Estate and NetZero Milan, partially offset by the postponement of Salone Franchising Milano to the last quarter of the year. The presence of Gastech, an international travelling event dedicated to the energy industry, also had a positive impact, recording results above expectations. Additional contributions came from major biennial exhibitions.
