Ambiente, the buyer of San Germano and CMT. The Group disputed both the amount of the proposed earnout and the determination of the claim amount. The Group recognized an earnout of €(3) million, in respect of the loss made between the reference date (September 30, 2017) and the closing date (January 30, 2019). It did not contest this amount. Sale of the Group’s operations in Morocco p In line with its strategy of ongoing growth in the European market, in September 2019, Derichebourg sold to its partner the 51% stake it held in Derichebourg A&D Développement, the holding company for all household waste collection and service activities in Morocco. Derichebourg is very proud of having provided its technical expertise in the services it provided, with its local partner, to the residents of the country’s main communities, within the framework of the environment improvement policy implemented by the Kingdom of Morocco. The Derichebourg Group is confident in the quality of the team put in place to maintain a high service level and continue the development initiated. Overall, the 2019 earnings from the Moroccan operations and the proceeds of their sale have had little impact on the Group’s pre-tax profit. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the contribution of these operations had amounted to 2% of the Derichebourg Group’s revenue, 4% of its recurring Ebitda and 12% of its external debt. Disposal of the nuclear engineering business after the reporting date p On October 1, 2019, Derichebourg Multiservices Holding sold its shares in Derichebourg Services & Ingénierie Nucléaire to a nuclear services and works player.

Taking into account the reassessment of the project results for the fiscal year and the penalties incurred for late delivery, the company’s contribution to operating income (loss) amounted to €(8.7) million, of which €(5.0) million for non-recurring items. The financial consequences of this sale were recognized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.
