The EXOR Group closed the first quarter of 2012 with a consolidated profit of €105.5 million; the first quarter of 2011 ended with a consolidated profit of €44.8 million. The €60.7 million increase stems from net improvements in the results of subsidiaries and associates (+€41 million), higher dividends collected from SGS (+€3.8 million) and other net changes (+€18.3 million), offset in part by the decrease in net financial income (expenses) (-€2.4 million).
