IEG reported consolidated revenues of €103 million in the first quarter, marking a 15.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The Group’s performance reflects the strength of its core events, including key trade fairs and congresses, alongside strong results from international operations and stand-fitting services. Adjusted EBITDA also climbed to €38.2 million, an 11.2% year-on-year increase, highlighting operational efficiency and robust demand across its portfolio.
Strategic investments and expansion activities featured prominently during the quarter. IEG completed two acquisitions: “Fenagra – International Agroindustry Show” in Brazil and “Imagination”, a company active in stand-fitting services, as part of its ongoing vertical integration strategy. These moves are aligned with the Group’s strategic plan aimed at enhancing its international presence and service offering.
IEG Group CEO, Corrado Arturo Peraboni, commented: “The Group’s excellent results achieved in the first quarter of 2025 mark a further step forward along the growth path set in the Strategic Plan.”
Infrastructure development also advanced, with continued investments in expanding the Vicenza Expo Centre. The Group reaffirmed that the project is progressing according to schedule and is expected to significantly increase the centre’s capacity and competitiveness in hosting major events.
In terms of international growth, IEG successfully launched the first edition of the “Riyadh Muscle Show” in Saudi Arabia. This marks the company’s first geo-cloning of a proprietary Wellness & Outdoor event from the United Arab Emirates, showcasing its ability to replicate successful formats in new markets and further strengthening its footprint in the Middle East.
