The management has proved its ability to mix organic growth (a portfolio of over 1,000 patents) and growth through acquisitions (11 companies acquired in the period 1988-2013). Today, after the slowdown in orders in 2012/13 due to the consumer crisis, as shown by the strong results recovery started in the second part of last year, the big retailers and couriers have started to invest again and Datalogic is ready to seize on this new growth opportunity through the launch of some innovative products. New breakthrough products are looming: as of the end of June 2013, Datalogic has launched some completely innovative products compared to the current technologies. These products could potentially become the new standard technology in the sector. Room to improve profitability: according to the 2013-15 strategic plan presented by the management, we believe that Datalogic will improve its profitability significantly in the coming years thanks to: 1) the increasing sold volumes in ADC; 2) the important internal reorganisation measures, geared to increase the processes efficiency. Q1 14 results confirmed the recovery started in H2 13: the good sales growth in the ADC division (+14.5% Y/Y) allowed the group to offset the still weak sales performance in the IA sector (-4.6% Y/Y). The profitability improved thanks to the strong operating leverage in the ASD division: while the IA division margins are still suffering for the ongoing reorganisation process, the ADC division showed a strong recovery in the profitability due to the strong operating leverage (EBITDA margin moved from 14.4% in Q1 13 to 19.5% in Q1 14). We confirm our Buy recommendation and we are setting a target price of EUR 12.00 per share, thus an upside over 30% on the current share price. Our valuation is based on a DCF model (WACC 7.55% and 1.5% of perpetual growth rate). Lastly, we highlight that the stock, at the current price, is trading at undemanding multiples compared to the peers: indeed, Datalogic’s P/Ee 14e is 14.6x, is below the peer average P/Ee 14e of 22.3x. 10.0 vvdsvdvsdy 9.5 9.0 8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 Apr 13 May 13 Jun 13 Jul 13 Aug 13 Source: Factset Sep 13 Oct 13 DATALOGIC Nov 13 Dec 13 Jan 14 Feb 14 Mar 14 Apr 14 May 14 FTSE Italy STAR (Rebased) Shareholders: Hydra 67%; For company description please see summary table footnote Analyst: Produced by: Distributed by the Members of ESN (see last page of this report) Paola Saglietti +39 02 4344 4287 paola.saglietti@bancaakros.it All ESN research is available on Bloomberg “ESNR”, Thomson-Reuters, Capital IQ, FactSet Datalogic CONTENTS Investment Case ................................................................................................... 3 ADC: a new wave of growth through new products ........................................... 4 What are ADC products? ............................................................................................................................4 Market trend and the group’s positioning ...................................................................................................4 Growth strategy ............................................................................................................................................5 IA: room for further acquisitions ......................................................................... 8 What are IA products and solutions? .........................................................................................................8 Market trend and the group’s positioning ...................................................................................................8 A further driver: access to scan engine technology .......................................... 9 Room to improve profitability ............................................................................ 10 Q1 14 results confirmed the recovery started in H2 13 .................................... 10 Three-year plan (2013-15) ................................................................................... 11 2013-2015 estimates ........................................................................................... 12 Continuing strong cash generation ................................................................... 14 Valuation.............................................................................................................. 15 DCF valuation .............................................................................................................................................15 Multiple comparison ...................................................................................................................................16 Conclusion .......................................................................................................... 18 ESN Recommendation System .......................................................................... 26 .16 Page 2 Datalogic Investment Case Datalogic provides products and solutions in Automatic Data Capture (ADC) and Industrial Automation (IA) for the retail, manufacturing, transportation & logistics and healthcare industries.

Sales growth in the period 2001-2013 External growth story Source: Company presentation Page 3 Datalogic New breakthrough products are looming As of the end of June 2013, Datalogic has launched some completely innovative products compared to the current technologies. These products could potentially become the new standard technology in the sector. Among the main products with a strong potential (some of these are already being tested by some large US and European retailers) there are: Magellan (a cash desk with both bare-code scanners and imagers) and Jade (a completely automated retail scanner). ADC: a new wave of growth through new products What are ADC products? Datalogic’s ADC product range includes in-counter and on-counter point-of-sale scanners, handheld scanners, rugged mobile computers, industrial PDAs and vehicle-mount computers (VMC). The reference sectors include healthcare, hospitality/entertainment, manufacturing, retail, services and transportation & logistics. Datalogic’s ADC products Fixed Retail and Automated Scanners #1 Worldwide, 32.8% mkt share #1 EMEA 42,4% mkt share Handheld and Presentation Scanners #1 in EMEA, 33.8% mkt share #3 Worldwide, 16.8% mkt share Mobile Computers and SelfShopping #3 in EMEA, 8% mkt share #3 Worldwide, 4% mkt share Source: Company presentation Market trend and the group’s positioning The ADC market was down 3.5% in 2012 due to the economic crisis, while the forecast is for a slight growth in the coming three years (CAGR 2012-15 +0.9%). Nevertheless, it is very important to highlight that the three market segments are expected to show very different growth speeds: while the mobile computer segment should show slight negative growth (CAGR 2012-15 of -0.9%) due to the tough competition in the smartphone market for some applications, the POS retail scanner and hand-held scanner segments are expected to grow by 4.3% respectively in the period 2012-15 thanks to the current technological th th revolution in the retail marketplace. While Datalogic is a follower (4 player in EMEA and 5 player worldwide), it has a leading position in the latter two growing segments (worldwide leader in the POS retail scanners and European leader in the hand-held readers). Since this market is dominated by three main players (Motorola, Honeywell/Intermec and Datalogic), there is no room for further consolidation or for big acquisitions, so the group aims to grow organically through the continuous development of new products. Page 4 Datalogic ADC Market trend Datalogic positioning in ADC market Source: VDC research 2013 Growth strategy In light of the expected positive market trend, and based on the management’s indications, the group should be able to achieve very high single digit sales growth, indeed higher than the market in the next three years. The main drivers will be: 1) the launch of some innovative products that will allow Datalogic to intercept the investment recovery in the retail sector; 2) ever greater presence, also through local acquisitions, in emerging markets where the retail-chain business is now starting; 3) new acquisitions only to strengthen the market position in mobile computers or to acquire new technologies to complete the group’s current offer. Potential new breakthrough products In the last few decades, bar code use has grown a lot since it played a key role in the development of automatic payment and logistics processes. More recently, the ADC market has reached maturity, so the sector growth has been linked almost exclusively to substitution demand. On the contrary, the ADC sector is today experiencing a new wave of growth thanks to the development of digital imaging technology. Through this technology all processes will be faster and more efficient compared to only bar code reading technology. Therefore, a strong recovery in demand could be sparked by the launch of innovative products based on imaging technology, especially in the retail marketplace. Indeed, all retailers are well aware that the transactions at the checkout represent an important opportunity to improve the service and customer loyalty. The lack of efficiency and speed during the checkout experience, in fact, is one of the elements that most annoys clients: a positive shopping experience is likely to be significantly affected by an inefficient checkout or with perceived excessive time waiting. In particular, Datalogic has recently launched two new products based on digital imaging technology; these products can meet the fundamental need for efficiency by big retailers and could become two breakthrough products in the future. Page 5 Datalogic MAGELLAN TM 98010i This on-counter scanner reads 1D and 2D bar codes quickly in any orientation and bar codes from mobile devices, so it allows the retailer to improve the cashier’s throughput and increase the operational efficiency; indeed, the top down reader increases scan volumes for faster bar code detection and cashiers won’t need to turn over items to find the bare code. Magellan TM 98010i Source: Company data JADE TM X7 This innovative scanner is completely automated and allows retailers to offer their customers assisted checkout, but with all the advantages of automation. Once costumers arrive at the cash desk, they only have to place the items onto the moving checkout belt, in any orientation. The items pass through scanning arches that contain advanced imaging technology. The arches read the bar codes and visually recognize the items much faster than a traditional checkout configuration. This checkout is particularly suitable for high-volume retailers, where the operational efficiency and the speed at the checkpoint, customer satisfaction and the reduction in losses from checkout shrink are very important factors.

Datalogic develops products and solutions that ensure traceability, inspection and detection in manufacturing and logistics processes based on laser bar-code scanners and 2D imagers for automatic identification, RFID (radio-frequency identification) and vision systems, industrial sensors, safety light curtains, and laser marking. The reference industries include transportation & logistics sector (airports, couriers, postal services, automated warehouses), automotive, pharma/healthcare, food/beverage, electronics, general manufacturing. Datalogic’s IA products Source: Company presentation Market trend and the group’s positioning IA is a very fragmented industry, with potential addressable markets worth USD 3bn in the Inductive Proximity and ASMV Systems. The IA market was flat in 2012/13, but is expected to show a steady recovery as of 2014 (CAGR 2012-15 of +6.9%). This positive growth is expected to be driven also by a growing convergence between laser and vision based technology and by the increasing demand for product traceability due to the new regulations in several industries. Datalogic is one of the few focused players as it aims to leverage on its 6% market share and play an important role as a consolidator. It wants to continue its external growth strategy through small specialised players in order to integrate new specific technologies and entry new reference industries. IA Market trend Datalogic positioning in IA market Source: VDC research 2013 Page 8 Datalogic A further driver: access to scan engine technology In September 2013 a US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) order identified Datalogic as a player to preserve the competition in the market for 2D scan engines. According to the FTC’s complaint, “Honeywell, Intermec, and a third competitor, Motorola, were the only 2D scan engine makers in the USA with broad enough intellectual property portfolios to protect them, and their customers, from potential patent-infringement lawsuits. Therefore, Honeywell’s acquisition of Intermec would have left only two companies – Honeywell and Motorola – with control of more than 80% of the already highly concentrated U.S. market for 2D scan engines and would have increased the likelihood of postacquisition coordination between Honeywell and Motorola. The most significant entry barrier into the U.S. market for 2D scan engine manufacturers active outside the United States is lack of access to the relevant U.S. intellectual property. Datalogic has already marketed 2D scan engines similar to those made by Honeywell and Intermec outside of the USA, but it lacked the necessary patent rights to compete in the United States. In order to preserve competition, FTC consent order required Honeywell to license its own 2D scan engine patents as well as those held by Intermec to Datalogic for the next 12 years”. Datalogic started to manufacture its scan engine as of Q4 13. The internal production of this core component of the vision technology will allow the group not only to increase its operating margins, but also to realize non-planned additional sales, since Datalogic can sell its scan engine to several new OEM manufacturers. Datalogic’s scan engine Source:Company presentation Page 9 Datalogic Room to improve profitability According to the 2013-15 strategic plan, we believe that Datalogic will improve its profitability significantly in the coming years thanks to: 1) the increasing sold volumes in ADC: as shown by the significant improvement in the profitability in Q4 13 (Q4 13 EBITDA growth of +60.2% vs Q4 13 sales growth of +4.6%), the increase in the sold volumes in the ADC sector will allow Datalogic to further exploit the operating leverage of the plant in Vietnam; 2) the important internal reorganisation measures, geared to increase the processes efficiency: a. the steady rationalisation of the production processes (7 plants) in IA, which will allow Datalogic to streamline its organisation structure by reducing the existing operating companies and right-size the cost structure; b. the shift from a product-oriented commercial approach to a client-oriented one, which will allow costumers to deal with just one sales manager, thus meeting the costumer’s needs with the products of both divisions; c. the setting up of a single purchasing center in China for both divisions, which will allow Datalogic to source components cheaper.

The main driver of this expected growth should be the new ADC products, which could show double digit sales growth in the coming years, and, although at a lower growth rate, the IA division’s sales, which should be sustained by the growing need for components to trace products and automate processes. In addition, the management forecasts a strong positive contribution from the emerging markets (CAGR 2012-2015 of +12%).

Thanks to the expected progressive recovery in profitability, the management forecasts that the group should generate around EUR 56-61m of cash flow in the period 2013-15. So, Datalogic should reach a Net Debt/Equity < 0.2x and a Net Debt/EBITDA of 0.5x in 2015 despite stable investments in CAPEX, around 2% of revenues per year. Debt evolution ROE evolution Source: Company presentation We estimate that Datalogic will be able to meet its target of cumulated free cash flow generation by 2015; this will allow the management to fully finance the external growth as planned and to maintain a good dividend policy (pay-out ratio= 32.6% in 2013).

Furthermore, we are also presenting a comparison with the peer group in order to show the undemanding multiples at which the company is trading. DCF valuation In light of our estimates in the previous paragraphs, and based on our DCF model, we have obtained a fair value of EUR 12.00 per share, showing an upside over 30.0% on the current share price. We have run our DCF analysis based on the following assumptions: we assume our estimates described in the previous paragraphs for sales and profitability in the period 2014/2015e and, for the following years, a sales growth of 3.9% per year; b) in terms of long-term forecasts, we assume a stable EBIT margin at around 12.0%, which is higher than the 10.7% in 2013 because we believe that it is a sustainable level thanks to the strong operating leverage in the ADC sector and the current restructuring process in the IA division.

Furthermore, at the current price the stock still offers a slight discount compared on the sector’s peers’ multiples (DAL 14e P/E is 14.6x, so slightly lower than the peer average of 14e P/E 22.3x). In our opinion, at the current price, the stock does not reflect the potential upside from: 1) The recent pick-up in investments by big retailers and couriers, which Datalogic can intercept thanks to the launch of some innovative products that are based on digital imaging technology, which can meet the fundamental need for efficiency by big retailers and which could became two breakthrough products in the future; 2) the significant improvement in profitability in the coming years, which the group should be able to achieve thanks to the increasing sold volumes in ADC and the important internal reorganisation measures, geared to increase the processes efficiency. Lastly, it is important to highlight that, as the management said, the group will also continue its strategy of external growth, so a further potential trigger could be new bolt-on acquisitions, which the management could achieve in the coming future.

ESN Recommendation System The ESN Recommendation System is Absolute. It means that each stock is rated on the basis of a total return, measured by the upside potential (including dividends and capital reimbursement) over a 12 month time horizon. The ESN spectrum of recommendations (or ratings) for each stock comprises 5 categories: Buy, Accumulate (or Add), Hold, Reduce and Sell (in short: B, A, H, R, S). Furthermore, in specific cases and for a limited period of time, the analysts are allowed to rate the stocks as Rating Suspended (RS) or Not Rated (NR), as explained below. Meaning of each recommendation or rating: Buy: the stock is expected to generate total return of over 20% during the next 12 months time horizon Accumulate: the stock is expected to generate total return of 10% to 20% during the next 12 months time horizon Hold: the stock is expected to generate total return of 0% to 10% during the next 12 months time horizon. Reduce: the stock is expected to generate total return of 0% to -10% during the next 12 months time horizon Sell: the stock is expected to generate total return under -10% during the next 12 months time horizon Rating Suspended: the rating is suspended due to a capital operation (takeover bid, SPO, …) where the issuer of the document (a partner of ESN) or a related party of the issuer is or could be involved or to a change of analyst covering the stock Not Rated: there is no rating for a company being floated (IPO) by the issuer of the document (a partner of ESN) or a related party of the issuer Banca Akros Ratings Breakdown History of ESN Recommendation System Since 18 October 2004, the Members of ESN are using an Absolute Recommendation System (before was a Relative Rec. System) to rate any single stock under coverage. Since 4 August 2008, the ESN Rec. System has been amended as follow. Time horizon changed to 12 months (it was 6 months) Recommendations Total Return Range changed as below: TODAY SELL REDUCE -10% HOLD 0% ACCUMULATE 10% BUY 20% BEFORE SELL -15% REDUCE HOLD 0% ACCUMULATE 5% BUY 15% Page 26 Datalogic Il presente documento è stato redatto da Paola Saglietti (socio AIAF), che svolge funzioni di analista presso Banca Akros SpA ("Banca Akros"), soggetto responsabile della produzione del documento stesso.
