1 REVIEW OF OPERATING CONDITIONS

The first half year of 2023 saw the Group successfully landing on Euronext Milan. This debut followed the 2022 listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, making Ferretti the first Company to be listed in both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Euronext Milan.

The offer price was set at €3.00 per Share and attracted broad interest among leading Italian and international institutional investors, resulting in a widened and strengthened institutional Shareholder base of the Company.

Based on the offer price, the Company's market capitalization as of the first day of trading of the Shares on the Euronext Milan was equal to approximately €1 billion.

EXM Listing will allow the Group to further consolidate its positioning as a global leader in the luxury yacht arena.

During the Relevant Period, the Group recorded an increase in net revenue, reaching approximately €581 million and representing an 8.6% increase as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

As far as the Group's profitability is concerned, adjusted EBITDA amounted to approximately €83.4 million, increasing 20.9% in comparison with the figure reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (€69.0 million). The increase was also significant in percentage terms, with an adjusted EBITDA margin reaching 14.7% or 120 basis points higher than that of the six months ended June 30, 2022. Finally, net profit increased by 36.8% compared to the previous year to a value of approximately €40.9 million.

For the second half of 2023, we expect a sustained growth backed up by a consistent order backlog of approximately €1.4 billion.

1.1 Yacht Manufacturing Business

Ferretti Group upheld an innovation-driven approach to maintain its market-leading position in its core business, placing great emphasis on research and development. Leveraging the substantial investments in research and development, Ferretti Group has been continuously renewing and broadening its product portfolio with technological and design innovation, allowing it to stay abreast of the rapidly evolving preferences and expectations of its clientele.

The launch of new models for composite and made-to-measure yachts, together with a growing interest in super yachts allowed the Group to attract new customers while also continuing to nurture the interest of Ferretti Group's loyal clients.

As a remark, the strategy of moving towards larger and more customizable yachts is paying off, with a growing total revenue across all segments:

• Net revenue from the sales of composite yachts increased by approximately 11.2% from approximately €234 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €260 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Chairman's Statement

  • Net revenue from the sales of made-to-measure yachts increased by approximately 3.3% from approximately €201 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €208 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
  • Net revenue from the sales of super yachts increased by approximately 32.5% from approximately €49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

1.2 Ancillary Businesses

Our ancillary businesses provide synergies with our yacht manufacturing business with a comprehensive portfolio, including: (i) yacht brokerage, chartering and management services; (ii) after-sales and refitting services; (iii) brand extension activities (including exclusive lounges all-overthe-world); (iv) manufacturing and installation of wooden furnishings and kinetics for nautical interiors; (v) manufacturing and sale of coastal patrol vessel by the FSD; and (vi) trading of preowned yachts, offering trade-in opportunities to our customers as a lever to facilitate the sales of new yachts. With such businesses, we are able to cover all customer's needs throughout the whole yachting "customer journey", from the purchase of luxury yachts to a complete offer of ancillary services to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, while providing us with real-time information about market trends and customer preferences.

For the first half of 2023, net revenue from ancillary businesses reached approximately €48 million, representing a year-on-year decline of 5.5% due to a decrease in revenue of pre-owned business.

1.3 Ferretti Group ESG Commitment

By leveraging considerable investments in research and development, the Group has continuously upgraded and expanded its product portfolio with environmentally friendly, technological, and designer innovations since 2014 to keep pace with the rapidly evolving expectations of its customers.

Thanks to its innovative drive, the Group was the very first to introduce a pioneering hybrid propulsion solution to the market in 2008, and it continues to innovate in this field. In 2021, the Group launched a collaboration with Rolls-Royce Power Systems to jointly develop hybrid solutions to be installed on future yachts and in 2022, the Group extended the agreement until the end of 2027, which guarantees the supply chain's efficiency, with clear benefits for its customers. In 2022, the Group also entered the E-luxury segment with the first Riva full-electric runabout, named El-Iseo. Furthermore, the Group is committed to expanding its other "green" product offering across all key brands, launching and marketing more eco-friendly solutions, building on the proposition of the newly launched models (besides FSD N800, Riva El-Iseo, also wallytender43x, wallytender48x, In FYnito 90 and Navetta 50), and increasing its presence in the sailing yacht market through Wally.

With respect to sustainable development, hydrogen is attracting increasing attention as an energy source and has the potential to become a game-changer in the maritime sector as well. Building on Weichai Group's significant achievements on this front and having already installed hydrogen engines on land vehicles, it will be a crucial partner of the Group to provide the necessary know-how and experience to make hydrogen engines on yachts a reality.

In addition, with a view to reducing the environmental impact of its products, the Group is constantly seeking innovative solutions, which involve the use of eco-friendly and lighter materials. Moreover, the Group's ESG commitment is not limited to its outstanding product offering, but also targets its shipyards, all gradually adjusting to the ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification, introducing innovative solutions (such as trigeneration systems) and solar panels to reduce both energy consumption and emissions.

The Group firmly believes in the importance of ESG moving forward and aims to become an ESG leader in the global yacht market. As a remark, the Group has been the first in the yacht industry to publish a sustainability report in 2019 and, in 2021, also established the ESG Committee, which is responsible for helping the Board to devise ESG policies and strategies and reviewing and assessing its sustainability performance.

2 OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

Looking back at the recent past, despite the short-term adverse impact of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in 2020 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that started in early 2022, the Group has delivered outstanding financial performance proving its resilience, and we expect this tailwind to keep on positively affecting our business.

Indeed, looking forward, the Group, being a leading player in the global yacht industry and undisputed leader in the inboard composite and made-to-measure yachts, is ideally positioned to benefit from a growing market with a size of approximately €24 billion in 2022 and forecasted to reach approximately €29.3 billion by 2025 (growing with a compound annual growth rate at 6.8% from 2022 to 2025). In particular, the number of potential end customers, i.e. Very-High and Ultra-High Net Worth Individuals, is expected to witness a strong growth momentum between 2022 and 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.7% and 7.8%, respectively; and the penetration of luxury yachting among the growing potential end customers is still below 1%, unveiling an enormous growth potential.

Chairman's Statement

Going forward, leveraging our unique and effective business model, strong heritage of iconic brands, unparalleled focus on product excellence and innovation, tailored approach for cultivating an exclusive community of luxury customers and its distinctive sales model, we will focus on:

  • adjusting and enhancing our product offering and product mix ahead of evolving market trends and customer expectations, with the aim to consolidate our market leadership position in both composite and made-to-measure segments, focusing on the segments with the highest growth potential and marginality.
  • expanding our made-to-measure portfolio into larger alloy yachts building on our iconic brands such as Riva, Wally, Pershing, and Custom Line, with the aim of catering the largest number of potential customers across their entire luxury yacht "customer journey", while maintaining the distinctive exclusivity and fulfilling the requirements for greater customization. In so doing, we would also be able to cover the market demand for higher-footage branded yachts, leveraging the know-how and experience gained with CRN and the recent successes of Pershing 140 and Riva 50 Metri.
  • vertically integrating strategic and high value-adding activities to ensure the uncompromised excellence in the luxurious design, performance, quality, and reliability of our yachts and to support our future growth and product portfolio expansion.
  • enhancing the comprehensiveness of our value proposition and overall business profitability and resilience, expanding and strengthening our presence in the most promising ancillary service verticals such as yacht brokerage services, refitting services, brand extension activities and FSD.

Building on these 4 pillars, the Group believes it can grow according to the guidance for the future long term presented during its first Capital Markets Day in March 2023. In more details the Group expects to grow by 10% compound annual growth rate in terms of net revenue and reach greater than 18.5% in EBITDA margin, excluding mergers and acquisitions. Moreover, the cash conversion is estimated to be greater than 85%.

3 APPRECIATION

Last but not least, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of our proven and new Shareholders, our potential investors and our customers for their care and support, as well as to all of our staff for their hard work and dedication!

Mr. Tan Xuguang

Chairman and non-executive Director

Hong Kong, August 2, 2023

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group is an established player in the global luxury yacht market, leader in the global luxury inboard yacht market above 9 meters (approximately 30 feet) with a market share of 15% as of June 30, 2022 (source: Group calculation based on data from PD&A) and among the top players in the super yachts segment (source: Group calculation based on data from SYT iQ, issued in December 2022 by SuperYacht Times).

Since its founding, the Group has played an important role in steering the development of the global luxury yacht industry by acquiring and integrating other leading yacht brands and production facilities, and now owns a portfolio with seven brands, including some of the oldest in the industry: Riva, Wally, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, CRN and Custom Line, each with distinctive features and identity, recognized as symbols of luxury, exclusivity, Italian design, craftsmanship, innovation and performance. The Group designs, produces and sells luxury composite, made-to-measure, and super yachts from 8 to 95 meters (approximately 27 and 312 feet) covering a broad and diversified range of types, catering for the personal tastes and specific requirements of its clientele. With its market leadership, history and iconic brand portfolio, the Group is positioned as a trend-setter of the global luxury yacht industry and an ambassador of Italian nautical craftsmanship to the world.

In addition to the sale of new luxury yachts, the Group has a comprehensive offering to satisfy the needs of its customers beyond yacht purchase, including: (a) yacht brokerage, chartering and management services; (b) after-sales and refitting services; (c) brand extension activities, such as branded lounges, lifestyle merchandise, and boat restoration services; (d) manufacturing and installation of nautical components such as wooden furnishings and kinetic systems and components; (e) trading of pre-owned yachts, offering trade-in opportunities to its customers as a lever to facilitate the sales of new yachts; and (f) the sale of coastal patrol vessels by the FSD. With these ancillary services, the Group is present along all of the phases of the yachting "customer journey", thus positioning itself as a one-stop-shop luxury yacht player.

The Group's multi-brand business model relies on separate, brand-dedicated teams that manage new model development and concept design to nurture and preserve each brand's individual identity and unlock its full potential. At the same time, the Group is able to capture synergies by centralizing high-value-added activities that support all brands (R&D, procurement and manufacturing) and corporate functions (human resources, investor relations, finance, legal and IT).

Over the years, the Group has cultivated a premium and loyal clientele of highly sophisticated very-high net worth individuals ("VHNWIs") and ultra-high net worth individuals ("UHNWIs"), thanks to its effective sales model. The Group has an established sales presence in more than 70 countries in EMEA, AMAS and APAC, with an in-house sales team in each region, enabling the Group to reach its customers globally. Moreover, the Group believes that its dedicated brand promotion activities, branded lounges in exclusive locations and sponsorship arrangements, have enhanced the high-end positioning of its brands, which, in turn, has enabled the Group to grow its high-end clientele, cultivate an exclusive community of luxury yacht owners, and nurture a strong sense of belonging.

The Group owns and operates seven shipyards, as well as two production plants for interior fittings and customized furnishings and one production plant for kinetic equipment, all located at the heart of the worldfamous Italian nautical district. This strategic choice allows the Group to continuously enhance its production process, while ensuring an uncompromised focus on product quality and technical performance, by leveraging on the proximity of its network of suppliers and contractors. The Group also owns a refitting facility in Fort Lauderdale (Florida, USA) to cover the AMAS market. As part of its ongoing efforts to meet the demand for high-end customization and further increase its competitiveness, each interior design element of the Group's luxury yachts is carefully selected, leveraging upon the Group's strategic partnerships with prestigious international designers, and is tailor-made by nautical craftsmen with techniques handed down over generations, blending tradition, modernity, and relentless dedication to customization. In addition, in order to strengthen its control over the supply chain and ensure supply of key inputs, the Group has begun work on a project to internalize a portion of its fiberglass and carbon-fiber hulls production.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE FIRST HALF YEAR OF 2023

The Group held its first Capital Markets Day in Milan on March 21, 2023 providing the mid-long term outlook.

The Group reached an agreement with Rosetti Marino S.p.A. for the acquisition of Cantiere San Vitale, in Ravenna of over 70,000 square meters.

In April 2023, the Group made a big step forward in respect of the project in the former Belleli Yard port area in Taranto of over 220,000 square meters, where an industrial facility will be developed for the construction of models and molds, as well as research center for advanced materials. All the public administrations involved approved the remediation and industrial development project.

On June 27, 2023, the Company successfully completed the first ever Dual Listing of the Company between the Euronext Milan and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PLAN

The Group's order backlog increased by 15.8% in the Relevant Period compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This growth was supported by investments to expand the product portfolio and in model re-stylings, with new and re-styled models launched. Furthermore, the Group's financial performance was underpinned by substantial industrial and research and development investments. The former provided the production capacity needed to sustain volumes expansion, while the latter was key to aligning the Group's product offering to emerging customer needs and market trends, representing a solid pillar upon which to build future growth. These investments, paired with favorable market momentum, contributed to an increase in revenue by 8.6% in the Relevant Period compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The global luxury yacht industry has continued to grow solidly throughout 2021 and 2022, fostered by the growth of the VHNWI and UHNWI clientele in terms of both number and wealth. In this context, and as proved by its ability to outperform the underlying luxury yacht market in the past, the Group believes it is ideally positioned to continue to capture market growth, capitalizing on its unique and effective business model, strong heritage of iconic brands, unparalleled focus on product excellence and innovation, tailored approach for cultivating an exclusive community of luxury customers and its distinctive sales model. To continue building on the expected trends of the global luxury yacht industry, enhancing its value proposition and strengthening its overall resilience, the Group's future plans are based on the following strategic pillars:

  • The Group will enhance and expand its product offering and product mix ahead of evolving market trends and customer expectations, with the aim to consolidate its market leadership position in both composite and made-to-measure segments, focusing on the segments with the highest growth potential and marginality.
  • The Group will expand its made-to-measure offering into larger alloy yachts, developing new alloy-hulled super yacht models under its iconic Riva, Wally, Pershing, and Custom Line brands.
  • The Group will also broaden both its yacht brokerage, chartering and management services and its aftersales and refitting services, extend its brand extension and licensing activities and further expand into the security and patrolling market.
  • Finally, the Group will keep investing in the internalization of high value-added activities to support its future growth and product portfolio expansion.

The Group's results are not subject to seasonality, except for the concentration of deliveries in the northern summer season (May-August) and, to a lesser extent, in the southern summer season (November-January), especially for composite yachts.

Total 580,841 100% 534,948 100%

Note: (1) Mainly comprising revenue from ancillary businesses and the FSD.

(i) Sales of Composite Yachts

The Group's revenue from the sales of composite yachts increased by approximately 11.2% from approximately €234 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €260 million for the Relevant Period. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in the backlog.

(ii) Sales of Made-to-Measure Yachts

The Group's revenue from the sales of made-to-measure yachts increased by approximately 3.3% from approximately €201 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €208 million for the Relevant Period. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase the backlog.

(iii) Sales of Super Yachts

The Group's revenue from the sales of super yachts increased by approximately 32.5% from approximately €49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €65 million for the Relevant Period. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the launch of alloy-hulled super yacht models.

(iv) Other Businesses

The Group's revenue generated from other businesses are substantially in line and approximately €51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and approximately €48 million for the Relevant Period.

The Group's standard sales contracts generally do not provide any specific price adjustment clause. In some instances however, the Group may agree with the customer to include a specific clause typically tied to inflation. In this case, the contract price will be increased.

Order backlog by segment

(i) Composite Yachts

The Group's order backlog from composite yachts reached €408.1 million for the Relevant Period representing approximately 28.9% of the total backlog (as at December 31, 2022: €386.7 million representing approximately 29.8% of the total backlog).

(ii) Made-to-Measure Yachts

The Group's order backlog from made-to-measure yachts reached €503.2 million for the Relevant Period representing approximately 35.7% of the total backlog (as at December 31, 2022: €469.6 million representing approximately 36.2% of the total backlog).

(iii) Super Yachts

The Group's order backlog from super yachts reached €442.3 million for the Relevant Period representing approximately 31.4% of the total backlog (as at December 31, 2022: €384.6 million representing approximately 29.7% of the total backlog).

(iv) Other Businesses (Including FSD and Wally sail)

The Group's order backlog from other business (including FSD and Wally sail) reached €56.9 million for the Relevant Period representing approximately 4.0% of the total backlog (as at December 31, 2022: €54.8 million representing approximately 4.2% of the total backlog).

Raw Materials and Consumables Used

The Group's raw materials and consumables used increased by approximately 21.2% from approximately €260.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €316.1 million for the Relevant Period. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in production activities following the growth in order intake.

Contractors Costs

The Group's contractors costs increased by approximately 33.0% from approximately €77.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €102.8 million for the Relevant Period. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in production activities to properly answer to the acceleration of the order intake.

Cost for Trade Shows, Events and Advertising

The Group's costs for trade shows, events and advertising increased by approximately 27.7% from approximately €9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €12.1 million for the Relevant Period mainly due to the renormalization process after the COVID-19 pandemic when many of these activities were canceled.

Other Service Costs

The Group's other service costs decreased by approximately 3.6% from approximately €61.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €58.9 million for the Relevant Period due to the combined effect of an increase in service costs for production volumes, in particular transportation, and a decrease in fees paid to members of corporate governance bodies, due to the presence as at June 30, 2022 of €3.2 million for a portion of the Management Incentive Plan.

Rentals and Leases

The Group's rentals and leases increased by €0.8 million, or 20.1%, from €3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €4.5 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to (i) an increase in royalties mainly attributable to the increase in new yachts delivered; and (ii) an increase in expenses relating to short-term leases, which was generally in line with the growth of the Group's business.

Personnel Costs

The Group's personnel costs decreased by €4.2 million, or 6.1%, from €69.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to €65.1 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the combined effect of the absence of the Management Incentive Plan cash bonus for €12.3 million as at June 30, 2022, and an increase in the average headcount to support the growth of the Group's business.

Other Operating Expenses

The Group's other operating expenses decreased from approximately €5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €3.0 million for the Relevant Period mainly due to the reduction of cost underaccruals and re-billable costs.

Income Tax Expenses

The Group recorded income tax expenses of €14.7 million for the Relevant Period and the tax benefit of €724 thousand for the six months period ended June 30, 2022. The tax expenses increased mainly due to (i) an increase in current tax as attributable to the significant increase in the Group's profit before tax; and (ii) a decrease in deferred tax assets recognized in respect of prior tax losses.

Net Profit

The Group's profit for the period increased by approximately 36.8% from approximately €29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately €40.9 million for the Relevant Period mainly due to the increase in volumes and the increase in margin.

NON-IFRS MEASURE

To supplement the Group's consolidated income statements which are presented in accordance with IFRS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA/net revenue without pre-owned, being non-IFRS measures, were also presented in this report. The Group is of the view that this measure facilitates comparison of operating performance from period to period by eliminating potential impacts of certain items and believes that this measure provides useful information to understand and evaluate the Group's consolidated income statements in the same manner as they help the Group's management. However, the Group's presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar terms used by other companies. The use of this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, as such, it should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitute for analysis of, the Group's results of operations or financial condition as reported under IFRS.

The Company defines (i) EBITDA as profit after tax plus financial expenses (including the result of foreign exchange conversion but excluding exchange rate gains/(losses) related to financial transactions), depreciation and amortization, and income tax expense, and less financial income and income tax benefit; (ii) adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted by adding back certain special items (including listing expenses and related costs, Management Incentive Plan, and other minor non-recurring events); and (iii) net revenue without pre-owned as net revenue excluding revenue generated from the trading of pre-owned yachts.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

During the Relevant Period, the Group financed its operations mainly by cash generated from operations.

As at June 30, 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents and other current assets of approximately €355 million (as at December 31, 2022: approximately €404 million).

Taking into account the cash flow generated from operations and the net proceeds from the Hong Kong Listing, the Directors are of the view that the Group has sufficient working capital to meet its current liquidity demand and the liquidity demand within at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Capital Expenditure

The Group's capital expenditure as at June 30, 2023 is €84.5 million.

Net Financial Position

The net cash of the Group as at June 30, 2023 was €320 million (as at December 31, 2022: €365 million).

Capital Structure

A. Borrowing

The total bank and other borrowings of the Group as at June 30, 2023 was approximately €35.7 million (as at December 31, 2022: €38.6 million) which was originally denominated in Euro, so it did not have any foreign exchange impact on its financial statements during the Relevant Period. The bank borrowing was interest-bearing, secured and unsecured. During the Relevant Period, the Group did not experience any difficulties in utilizing its banking facilities with its lenders.

B. Gearing Ratio

As at June 30, 2023, the Group's gearing ratio was approximately 4.5% (as at December 31, 2022: 5.1%), calculated as the total indebtedness divided by total equity as at the end of the Relevant Period multiplied by 100%. The decrease was mainly due to the increase in share capital related to the Hong Kong Listing and the decrease in total indebtedness. The Group's gearing ratio demonstrated that the financial position of the Group was healthy as the debt level of the Group was very low as at the end of the Relevant Period.

Treasury Policies

The Group continues to adopt a prudent financial management approach towards its treasury policies and thus maintained a healthy liquidity position throughout the Relevant Period. The Board closely monitors the liquidity position to ensure that the liquidity structure of the Group's assets, liabilities and other commitments can meet its funding requirements from time to time.

Risk factors

The Company identifies risk at the activity level which can help to focus risk assessment on major business units or functions and also contribute to maintaining an acceptable level of risk across the Group. We also review periodically economic and industrial factors affecting our business and meet industry analysts and players to keep abreast of the latest development of the industry.

Factors such as increased competition, regulatory changes, personnel changes, and developments in the markets which contribute to and increase risks are always on the watch list.

For further details, please refer to the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exposure

Majority of the Group's generating activities and borrowings were denominated in Euro.

Human Resources

As at June 30, 2023, the Group had approximately 1,921 full-time employees, of which 1,851 were based in the EMEA and 70 were based in AMAS and APAC. The total cost of staff for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was €65.1 million as compared to €69.3 million as at June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly attributable to the combined effect of the settlement of the Management Incentive Plan cash bonus for €12.3 million as at June 30, 2022, and an increase in the average headcount to support the growth of the Group's business.

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the statement of financial position, the statements of income, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and cash flows and the related explanatory notes of Ferretti S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Ferretti Group") at June 30, 2023. The Directors of Ferretti S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of July 31, 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Ferretti Group at June 30, 2023 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.

OTHER MATTER

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 have not been audited or reviewed.

* The remaining 40% is subject to put and call options exercisable from September 19, 2027 to September 19, 2028. The terms of put and call options over these non-controlling interests, mean that they give to the Group a present ownership interest in the underlying securities, accordingly this business combination was accounted for on the basis that the underlying shares subject to the put and call options have been acquired. Thus, the Group does not recognize non-controlling interests and recorded liabilities for shareholders under the options.

  • ** Registered as a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise under PRC law.
  • *** The investment of 0.6% is owned by the three directors of Ferretti Group (Monaco) S.a.M. for their role, as provided for by the Bylaws.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1. Basis of Preparation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2023, have been prepared in condensed form in conformity with the international accounting standard applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements (IAS 34). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2023, do not contain all of the information required for the annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read together with the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022.

The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern.

For the purposes of clarity and to make this document more readily understandable, all the amounts listed in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements — income statement, comprehensive income statement, statement of financial position, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, the accompanying notes — are stated in thousands of Euro, except when otherwise indicated.

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2023. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments apply for the first time in 2023, but do not have an impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group:

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features; a few scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. IFRS 17 is based on a general model, supplemented by:

  • A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
  • A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.

The amendments had no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies (Continued)

Definition of Accounting Estimates — Amendments to IAS 8

The amendments to IAS 8 clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. They also clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amendments had no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies — Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their 'material' accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments had no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction — Amendments to IAS 12

The amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments had no impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The standards and interpretations that have already been issued, but are not yet effective at the date of issuance of the Group's financial statements, are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt such standards when they enter into force and does not foresee any material impacts on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements:
  • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Date (issued on January 23, 2020);
  • Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Deferral of Effective Date (issued on July 15, 2020); and
  • Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (issued on October 31, 2022)
  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (issued on September 22, 2022)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CHANGES TO THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies (Continued)

Standards issued but not yet effective (Continued)

  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (issued on May 25, 2023)
  • Amendments to IAS 12 Income taxes: International Tax Reform Pillar Two Model Rules (issued May 23, 2023)

Segment Report

For management purposes the Group has a single operating segment relevant for reporting. This segment is the design, construction and marketing of yachts and pleasure craft. Since it is the only operating segment on which the Group reports, no additional analysis of its operating segment is provided.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The following qualitative information, which is being offered to provide a better understanding of the impact of financial instruments on the Group's statement of financial position, income statement and Cash Flow Statement, is also designed to explain more clearly the Group's exposure to the different types of risks associated with financial instruments and the corresponding management policies, as required by IFRS 7.

There are not derivatives (designated or not as hedging instruments), financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, equity instruments and debt instruments designated at fair value through OCI.

In addition during the previous year the Company began to sign time deposit accounts agreements with primary banks, in order to benefit of increasing interest rates, with maturities ranging from one month to six months.

The credit risk related to liquid assets is very limited because the counterparties are major national and international banking institutions; the currency of the cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated in Euro. The time deposits accounts with a maturity of more than three months are classified as current financial assets (see Note 25).

The management assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, other current assets and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are included in the amount for which an instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between consenting parties other than a forced or liquidation sale.

The fair values of the non-current part of bank and other borrowings have been calculated by discounting expected future cash flows using the rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and maturities.

IFRS 7 requires that the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position be classified based on a hierarchical ranking that reflects the reliability of the inputs used to measure fair value. The following levels are used:

  • Level 1 prices quoted in an active market for the assets or liabilities that are being measured;
  • Level 2 inputs other than the quoted prices of Level 1 but which are directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) observable in the market;
  • Level 3 inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Liquidity Risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that an entity may find it difficult to perform obligations arising from financial and trade liabilities in accordance with stipulated terms and due dates.

The Group continuously monitors the cash flow through the planning of the expected cash flows and the necessary financing sources on a weekly basis, over a monthly horizon, taking also into account the seasonality of the Group's business.

In most of the transactions, the sales policies adopted by the Group continue to call for payment of any contractually owed balances when the boat is delivered and the collection of security deposits and advances in accordance with contractually established schedules, particularly in accordance with the size of the boat.

Liquidity Risk (Continued)

The table below, which provides a quantitative analysis of the liquidity risk, shows a breakdown of future financial flows based on the financial liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2023 and at the end of the previous fiscal year, with a breakdown of the Group's financial payables by contractually stipulated due dates:

The tables above analyze the maximum risk entailed by the financial liabilities (including trade payables). All flows shown are nominal undiscounted future flows, determined based on the remaining contractual due dates with regard both to principal and interest.

Market and Interest Rate Risk

This is the risk that the fair value and future financial flows of a financial instrument may fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The market risk includes the following subcategories:

  • Currency risk (the risk that the value of financial instruments may fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates);
  • Interest rate risk (the risk that the value of financial instruments may fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates);
  • Price risk (the risk that the value of financial instruments may fluctuate due to changes in market prices).

The risk more specifically related to the Group's business is the risk of fluctuations in exchange rates. This risk relates to the possibility of changes in the Euro amount corresponding to the net foreign currency exposure for invoices issued, outstanding orders and, marginally, invoices payable and cash balances in foreign currency accounts.

The Group is primarily exposed to the exchange rate risk in relation to the US Dollar as a result of the sales made by the subsidiary Ferretti Group of America Llc.

During 2022 and first half 2023 no cash flow hedging was done in view of the exchange rate trend. In any case, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no currency forwards in place.

The following table presents a sensitivity analysis, at the end of each of the financial years, of the Group's profit before tax and equity (excluding losses carried forward) to a reasonably possible change in the exchange rate with the US dollar, keeping all other variables constant.

The interest risk is the risk that the value of future financial flows could fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. In 2019, Ferretti S.p.A. and the subsidiary CRN S.p.A. (merged in Ferretti) signed a loan agreement with a pool of financing banks for a maximum total amount of €170 million with a five-year term. The interest rate applicable to the Loan is equal to the sum of the relevant spread (290 basis points per annum for the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Pre-Finance Facility and 300 basis points per annum for the Revolving Credit Facility) and Euribor. The spread may also decline according to the level of the leverage ratio.

Market and Interest Rate Risk (Continued)

The following is a sensitivity analysis determined on the basis of the exposure as at the reporting dates June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of the Group's financial debt (assuming that Euribor is above zero, considering the zero-floor condition generally applied to the group's main borrowings).

+300 BP -300 BP 988 (988) 1,050 (1,050)

Credit Risk

The credit risk is the risk of potential losses due to the inability of counterparties to fulfill commercial or financial obligations. This risk can arise when a counterparty defaults for technical/commercial reasons (disputes about the nature/quality of a product, interpretation of contract clauses, etc.) or when one party causes the other party to incur a loss by failing to comply with an obligation.

In light of the type of customers targeted by the Group's products and services and the commercial policies it has adopted — which envisage, in most of transactions, that the balance of the contract amount, net of advances collected, is paid before or concurrently with the delivery of the boat — the Group believes that its credit risk is not material. The payment of advances is associated with both the defined contractual due dates and the achievement of production milestones.

At the procedural level, in the limited number of cases in which the sales policies mentioned above are not applicable, the Group's receivables and the accrued advances to be paid are monitored periodically to verify compliance with contractual payment terms.

Credit Risk (Continued)

The table below reports residual amounts — i.e., already net of any write-downs — which even if expired at the reporting date (June 30, 2023) are considered fully recoverable:

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

4. NET REVENUE (CONTINUED)

In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group identified the revenue streams, including the main ones:

  • Sale of yachts to order;
  • Sale of used boats.

Regarding the sale of yachts to order (sale of composite yachts, made-to-measure yachts and super yachts), the Group considers that the only performance obligation contained in the sales contracts is the building of the vessel, with no significant accessory services or further activities.

This performance obligation is satisfied over time of construction of boats. The payment terms are agreed with the customers on a case by case basis to match cash requirements for the production. Advance payments are agreed with each customer on the basis of the time needed to construct the boats and are paid before the completion of the construction. These contracts do not include obligations for returns, refunds and other similar obligations, however the vessels are covered by a warranty which is included in a range between 12 and 24 months.

Commissions and other costs related to revenue mainly represents the costs incurred by the Group for the intermediation activities carried out by the dealers and brokers.

"Boat brokerage" refers to the activity related to yacht brokerage and yacht charters performed by the U.S. subsidiary Allied Marine.

"Sales and provision of carpentry products and services" relate entirely to subsidiary Zago S.p.A., concerning assembly works and wooden furnishings for yachts of over 100 feet produced by third-party sites and cruise ships.

"Provision of services and sales of replacement parts, merchandise and other goods" partly refer to the refit activity that the Group carried out, and partly regard the sale of replacement parts and other assistance services rendered in Italy and worldwide on boats previously sold. In addition, in the first half of 2023 as well the Group continued to sell Riva brand luxury accessories, as part of the Riva Brand Experience project.

The amounts of transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations which are expected to be recognized as revenue after one year relate to sale of new boats, of which the performance obligation is to be satisfied within 2 years. All the other amounts of transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year. The amounts disclosed above do not include variable consideration which is constrained, that is included in contract liabilities.

During the Relevant Period, revenue to Russian and Ukraine purchasers accounted for less than 3% of our total revenue for the same period. Therefore, Russian and Ukraine sales are deemed immaterial to our business, results of operations and financial condition as a whole. Furthermore, in the event of a customer default, we are able to freely resell the yacht to another customer.

5. CHANGE IN INVENTORIES OF WORK-IN-PROCESS, SEMI-FINISHED AND FINISHED GOODS

The change in inventories of work-in-process, semi-finished and finished goods refers to inventories of boats not covered by orders.

The Group recognized the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities, excluding short-term leases and leases related to low-value assets. The right-of-use assets of most lease contracts were recognized based on the carrying amount, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. For some lease contracts, the right-of-use assets were recognized based to the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the lease previously recognized. Lease liabilities were recognized at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of first time application.

20. INCOME TAX

As shown in the table that follows, the "Income tax" amount for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was a tax expenses of €14,658 thousand, as detailed below:

Total income tax (14,658) 724

20. INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

The IRES (Imposta sul reddito delle società) taxable base of Ferretti S.p.A. and the subsidiary Zago S.p.A. was positive, and therefore, within the framework of national tax consolidation, a provision was made for this tax based on the 24% rate currently in force in Italy. The increase is attributable to the higher taxable income for the period, although reduced due to the use of tax losses and deductible interest expenses carried forward.

Also the IRAP (Imposta regionale sulle attività produttive) taxable base of Ferretti S.p.A. and the subsidiary Zago S.p.A. was positive, and therefore a provision was made for this tax based on the rate in force in the regions in which the value of production is calculated. The increase is attributable to the higher taxable income for the period.

For companies based in the United States, federal and state taxes of €1,595 thousand are due, as a result of the taxable income during the period.

NOTES TO THE MAIN ASSET ITEMS

The following Notes provide a breakdown of the individual components of the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 compared with correspondent amount as of December 31, 2022.

The items listed above can be converted readily into cash and are not exposed to a significant risk that their value may change. There are no obligations or restrictions on use except for time deposits accounts which do not bear interests at the agreed rate, if not maintained until the maturity date. Amounts collected and held in escrow accounts are classified as current assets, under the line item "Other current assets".

The carrying amount of "Cash and cash equivalents" is deemed to be aligned with their fair value at the reporting date.

During last year, the Company has signed time deposit accounts agreements with four primary banks, in order to benefit of increasing interest rates, with maturities ranging from one month to six months.

The time deposits accounts with a maturity of more than three months are classified as current financial assets (see Note 25).

The credit risk related to liquid assets is very limited because the counterparties are major national and international banking institutions, and the currency of the cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated in Euro (for details see Note 3).

A detailed analysis of the changes that occurred in this item is provided in the cash flow statement.

Total trade receivables 21,041 17,011

"Accounts receivable from customers" as at June 30, 2023 relate primarily to sales and services other than boat sales, for which the balance is generally received before delivery based on the contractual terms and conditions in force. Therefore, they refer to paid after-sales services, sales of material and spare parts, merchandising and provision of joinery works. These are considered to be receivable within 12 months.

22. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)

Trade receivables (Continued)

The provision for doubtful accounts, calculated by the Group in compliance with IFRS 9, changed as follows in the two reporting periods:

June 30, December 31,
2023 2022
(unaudited) (audited)
At beginning of year 3,216 5,745
Impairment losses, net 558
Amount written off as uncollectible (2) (3,089)
At end of period 3,215 3,216

An impairment analysis is performed at the end of each of the reporting dates to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the aging for each specific customer. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

For an analysis of the aging of trade receivables by the due date and net of the provision for doubtful accounts, refer to Note 3, Financial risks management.

In view of the fact that the Group's trade receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

26. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

On March 20, 2023, the Group acquired a production site of over 70,000 square meters, including a dry dock, in Italy near Ravenna. The acquisition involved an initial investment of about €40 million plus incidental acquisition costs for the advisors of the transaction. The Group will invest in the site to create new production areas and an R&D center. The operation forms part of Ferretti Group's growth strategy and the new facility, when fully operational, will increase production capacity by about 20%. The acquisition of the new Ravenna shipyard has been financed entirely with equity raised by the recent listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The new production site in the province of Ravenna is strategically located, close to the Company's Forlì headquarter and its Cattolica shipyard. This operation consolidates the Group's investment strategy, which over the last five years has resulted in the expansion and improvement of all production facilities, and the La Spezia yard and the Ancona Superyacht Yard in particular.

As at June 30, 2023, the net carrying amounts of land and buildings, plant, machinery and equipment, and other equipment and vehicles included right-of-use assets amounting to €16,414 thousand, €218 thousand and €1,663 thousand, respectively.

Impairment test on indefinite useful life intangible assets

As required by IAS 36, "Impairment of Assets," intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but they are tested for impairment at least once per year.

IAS 36 also requires an entity to assess at each reporting date whether there are indications of impairment for any other assets recognized in the statement of financial position.

As of June 30, 2023, in consideration of the order intake, the revenue and the adjusted EBITDA recorded by the Group in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and the results of the impairment test performed at December 31, 2022 (including sensitivities), the Group did not identify any impairment indicators and therefore no impairment test has been performed.

The Minority Shareholders' Loan refers to the loan of the company Fratelli Canalicchio S.p.A. granted by the minority shareholders.

The bank debt refers to several revolving facilities and term loan facilities related to the subsidiaries Il Massello Srl and its controlled companies, Fratelli Canalicchio S.p.A. and Ram S.p.A. and its controlled company.

30. MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS' LOAN AND BANK AND OTHER BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

On August 2, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary formerly CRN S.p.A., now merged into Ferretti S.p.A., as borrowers, and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., Banco BPM S.p.A., Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, BNP Paribas, Milan Branch (also acting as agent — the "Agent Bank"), BPER Banca S.p.A., Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., MPS Capital Services Banca per le Imprese S.p.A. and UBI Banca S.p.A., as lenders, entered into a medium-to-long-term loan agreement for a maximum total amount of €170 million, divided into three lines of credit as follows:

  • (a) an amortizing medium-to-long term line of credit with a total maximum amount of €70 million for the Company, to be repaid according to an amortization schedule that calls for six half-yearly payments, starting on December 31, 2021, with maturity on August 2, 2024, to be used to finance, inter alia, industrial investments per its business plan, and substitute tax on the various lines of credit pursuant to the Loan Agreement (defined the "Term Loan Facility");
  • (b) a revolving medium-to-long term line of credit with a total maximum amount of €40 million for the Company, to be repaid on the final maturity date (i.e., August 2, 2024) (with an annual cleandown period, with a threshold of €1,000,000 for a minimum of three consecutive business days, it being understood that no fewer than three months may elapse between one clean-down period and another), to be used to finance its ordinary business activity (defined the "Revolving Credit Facility");
  • (c) a revolving medium-to-long term line of credit with a total maximum amount of €60 million for the Company, to be repaid on the final maturity date (i.e., August 2, 2024), and to be used to finance the ordinary activity relating to commercial contracts for a maximum amount of 90% of the value of the said commercial contracts (defined the "Revolving Pre-Finance Facility").

The Loan Agreement is subject to a financial covenant relating to the compliance with certain significant thresholds relating to the leverage ratio of total net debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement), to be calculated at the consolidated level on a half-yearly basis (June 30 and December 31, of each year on a 12-month basis).

In addition, the Loan Agreement provides for a commitment by Ferretti S.p.A., and the relevant subsidiaries to keep at 1.5x or higher the ratio of the gross order book to the amount to be repaid under the Revolving Pre-Finance Facility (a line of credit providing advances against the contracts). The parameter will be observed twice a year (December 31, and June 30). If this parameter is breached, draw-downs on the Revolving Pre-Finance Facility must be repaid to restore fulfillment of the parameter. Any repayments do not result in the cancellation of the facility for the part repaid.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 all covenants had been fulfilled.

Finally, the Loan Agreement includes several mandatory early repayment clauses in certain circumstances.

The interest rate applicable to the Loan is equal to the sum of the EURIBOR and the applicable spread, according to the level of the leverage ratio.

30. MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS' LOAN AND BANK AND OTHER BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

As of April 2021, spreads were reduced to 275 basis points per annum for the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Pre-Finance Facility and to 285 basis points per annum for the Revolving Credit Facility. With effect from September 2021, owing to the further improvement in the leverage ratio calculated at June 30, 2021, the spreads applicable to current draw-downs have fallen further to the contractual lows of 260 basis points per annum in the cases of the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Pre-Finance Facility and of 270 basis points per annum in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility.

This Loan is not in use and the amortizing medium-to-long term line of credit was prepaid in December 2022 for the remaining value of €47 million.

The item "Liabilities arising on Business Combinations" of Bank and other borrowings refers for €2,001 thousand to the value of the put and call options for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest of Fratelli Canalicchio S.p.A. and Il Massello Srl, both exercisable from September 2027 to September 2028.

With regard to the analysis of bank and other borrowings based on maturity, please refer to Note 3 "Financial risk management".

All borrowings are denominated in Euro.

The item "Payables due to pension and social security institutions" reflects the amounts owed to these institutions at June 30, 2023 by Group companies and their employees for the June payroll and for accrued and deferred remuneration.

"Amounts payable to employees" refers to the June payroll to be paid in the following month and to the liability for accrued and unused vacations and personal days, as well as to the accrued portion of the performance and production bonus.

The item "Amounts payable to directors" refers to remuneration which has accrued but was not yet paid as of June 30, 2023.

The item "Other tax payable" chiefly refers to taxes withheld accrued that will be paid in July 2023.

The items "Accrued expenses and deferred income" consists mainly of insurance premiums and other transactions recognized on an accrual basis.

The item "Government authorization fees non-current", totaling €193 thousand at June 30, 2023, relates mainly to prepayments of public grants received by the Group of €161 thousand authorized in favor of the former Riva S.p.A., now merged in the Company and €32 thousand authorized in favor of the former subsidiary CRN S.p.A., now also merged in the Company. Said deferred income was classified under "Non-current liabilities" for the portion due after the following year. These grants will be recognized in the income statement along with the amortization periods of the corresponding assets once the underlying framework agreements expire.

The Group's management believes that the carrying amount of "Total trade and other payables" is close to their fair value.

32. CONTRACT LIABILITIES

The "Provision for product warranties" reflects the best possible estimate based on available information of the warranty obligations that may be incurred after the reporting date for products sold before that date.

The amount added annually to this provision, for all Group companies, is based on past experience and future expectations and takes into account new-product launches and the impact of a warranty period of 24 months, even though virtually all warranty claims are received within the first 12 months after a product is sold. A portion of the provision for product warranties is classified as noncurrent.

35. PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)

b. Provisions for miscellaneous risks (Continued)

The Group is involved mainly in two tax litigation proceedings: (i) litigation related to VAT for the 2009 period and its appeal was granted in the first and second instance from the Company. The Italian Revenue Agency lodged an appeal in the third instance and the hearing has been scheduled for September 2023; (ii) litigation related to the so-called "splafonamento" (VAT threshold) for the 2012 tax year. The Provincial Tax Commission accepted the appeal presented by the Company, against which The Revenue Agency notified its appeal. The value of the two litigations is approximately €5 million.

The provisions in item "Dealer incentives" were established to cover the costs that the Company could incur under a system that awards bonuses to dealers who reach predetermined customer service targets.

The "Provisions for other risks" were established to cover liabilities that are likely to arise as a result of other actions and expenses, different from the legal proceedings, that Group companies could face in the normal course of business. It includes a provision for potential liabilities related to commercial transactions for €8.3 million as at June 30, 2023 (€3.2 million as at December 31, 2022). In addition, there is a provision for the expected costs in connection with the Company's development project for public land in La Spezia. The Company presented a new project entailing significant modifications from the original one approved in 2006 in relation to the reclamation of seabed. It should be noted that any changes to the project require further inquiries relating to the initiatives to be pursued to conclude the process of reclaiming the seabed since the procedure has yet to be completed pursuant to Article 242 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 152/2006. The expected costs of this reclamation project have been estimated by the Company to amount to between €200 thousand and €400 thousand and as of the date of approval of the Financial Statements, the Group is waiting for indications from the Port Authority of La Spezia on the actions to be taken.

Employee benefits

The process of determining the Group's obligations toward its employees, which was carried out by Mr. Tommaso Viola ("Mr. Viola"), being an Italian independent actuary and a member of the Italian "Ordine Nazionale degli Attuari", with the same procedure and assumptions followed for the calculation as at December 31, 2022.

Provision for leaving indemnity

As required by the new supplemental company agreement signed in July 2012 by the Company and the unions representing its employees, each year the Group sets aside a provision for seniority bonuses. These bonuses are payable to employees who, starting on September 1, 2012, have completed or will complete more than 12 years of service.

On a transitional basis, a different loyalty bonus will be paid on termination of the contracts to the employees at some sites who previously received a different bonus and had already accrued more than 12 years' service. The amount previously accruing for all workers will remain unchanged.

As was the case for the Provision for employee severance indemnities, the Group's liability toward its employees was determined by Mr. Viola, with the same procedure and assumptions followed for the calculation as at December 31, 2022.

SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES

As at June 30, 2023 the share capital and reserves were unchanged in respect to the amount as at December 31, 2022, except for the profit of the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

In particular, the Group in 2022 incurred in €11.3 million of listing expenses recognized as a deduction in equity, net of tax effects of €3,164 thousand;

2022

On July 29, 2022, the Group acquired a 100% interest in MA.RI.NA. s.r.l. through a cash payment of €468 thousand.

MA.RI.NA. s.r.l. is a company specialized in the sale of spare parts for Riva boats.

From the date of acquisition, MA.RI.NA. s.r.l. contributed €162 thousand of revenue and €0.3 thousand to profit before tax from continuing operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of 2022, the Group's revenue from continuing operations would have been €1,030,286 thousand and the profit before tax from continuing operations would have been €69,366 thousand.

The Company's management believes that, as allowed by IFRS 3, it is preferable to treat the allocation described above as temporary.

41. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

2022 (Continued)

On September 19, 2022, the Group acquired a 60% interest in Fratelli Canalicchio S.p.A. through a cash payment of €100 thousand. The remaining 40% is subject to put and call options exercisable from September 19, 2027 to September 19, 2028. The terms of put and call options over these non-controlling interests, mean that they give to the Group a present ownership interest in the underlying securities, accordingly this business combination was accounted for on the basis that the underlying shares subject to the put and call options have been acquired. Thus, the Group does not recognize non-controlling interests and recorded liabilities for shareholders under the options.

Details and input considered to estimate the fair value of these liabilities are disclosed in Note 3.

41. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)

2022 (Continued)

From the date of acquisition, Fratelli Canalicchio S.p.A. contributed €976 thousand of revenue and €11 thousand to profit before tax from continuing operations of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of 2022, the Group's revenue from continuing operations would have been €1,036,770 thousand and the profit before tax from continuing operations would have been €68,952 thousand.

The goodwill of €2,606 thousand comprises the fair value of expected synergies arising from acquisition and it's not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company's management believes that, as allowed by IFRS 3, it is preferable to treat the allocation described above as temporary.

On September 29, 2022, the Group acquired an 85% interest in Il Massello s.r.l. through a cash payment of €6,375 thousand. The Group elected to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the proportionate share of its interest in the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The terms of put and call options over these non-controlling interests, mean that they do not give to the Group a present ownership interest in the underlying securities, accordingly this business combination was accounted for on the basis that the underlying shares subject to the put and call options have not been acquired. Thus, the Group recognized both non-controlling interests and these liabilities for shareholders under the options. Details and input considered to estimate the fair value of these liabilities are disclosed in Note 3.

If the combination had taken place at the beginning of 2022, the Group's revenue from continuing operations would have been €1,031,136 thousand and the profit before tax from continuing operations would have been €69,862 thousand.

The goodwill of €4,584 thousand comprises the fair value of expected synergies arising from acquisition and it's not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company's management believes that, as allowed by IFRS 3, it is preferable to treat the allocation described above as temporary.
