The EBITDA was €106.4 million (€98.7 million in 2015), while the EBIT was at €99.6 million (€90.6 million in 2015).

Following the results achieved in 2016, the Reply Board of Directors decided to propose distribution of a dividend of €1.15 per share to the next Shareholders Meeting, which will be payable the 10 May 2017, with the dividend date set on the 8 May 2017 (record date 9 May 2017).

“In 2016”, said Reply President Mario Rizzante, “we have seen the definitive emergence of the digital revolution: there is no longer any industrial, processing or service sector that hasn’t rethought their processes, redesigning them on the basis of technology and digital components. This paradigm shift has affected not only end customers, but also consultancies that have had to radically renew and extend their portfolio of products and services, readjusting to new, more complex demands.”
Rizzante continued: "Reply has always invested to position itself on the technological frontier, and topics that many are only now beginning to discuss, such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, Mixed Reality, Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are for us already structured proposals on which we have been working together with our customers for some time.”
“This competitive advantage, as reflected in the positive results of 2016, combined with our Group’s financial strength, allows us to continue investing to make Reply’s offering portfolio of products and services increasingly aligned with the demands of a new world, where the barrier between the physical and digital vanishes and the innovation component linked to technology changes from an enabling factor to a successful strategic lever for the companies,” concluded Rizzante.
The manager responsible for preparing the company's financial reports, Dr Giuseppe Veneziano, states in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, that the accounting information contained in this press release corresponds to the company's records, ledgers and accounting entries.

90% of IT Leaders See Gaps in AI Threat Readiness, Lenovo Brings Single Point of Accountability to Cyber Resiliency30.6.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
New end-to-end resilience and managed security offerings help organizations reduce security complexity, cut system downtime by up to 50%, and lower remediation costs by up to 40% by bringing devices, security technologies, expert services, and ecosystem partners together under a single operational model As organizations accelerate AI adoption and digital workplace transformation, many are finding that cyber resilience is undermined not by a lack of security tools, but by growing operational complexity and threat sophistication.

ERP systems show what was sold, CRM platforms track opportunities, and BI tools visualize trends. But when manufacturers try to understand which customer requirements drive demand, which configurations consistently win, or why margins vary across products, regions or segments, the answers are often unclear
