driven by higher EBITDA and a more favourable working capital profile. As a result,

we expect adjusted net cash (excluding IFRS 16 liabilities and derivatives) to reach

EUR 113m by year-end.

We slightly reduce our WACC assumption from 9.7% to 9.6%. Combined with our

higher earnings forecasts and better NWC, this leads us to raise our target price to Filippo Piva
