2021 Directors' Report of the Tamburi Investment Partners Group

At consolidated level, TIP closed 2021 with pro-forma net profit of Euro 127.9 million (Euro 36.4 million in 2020) and consolidated equity of approximately Euro 1.26 billion (compared to Euro 1.07 billion at December 31, 2020), after the distribution of dividends of approximately Euro 31 million and the purchase of treasury shares for approximately Euro 17.2 million.

With just over a billion in direct investment thus far, at December 31, 2021, the assets of the TIP group – at market values for the publicly listed companies – totalled approximately Euro 2.6 billion on a book value of just over one billion. Considering the effect of the club deals promoted by TIP, the market value of investments surpasses Euro 5 billion.

Globally, the TIP group made equity investments of Euro 330 million, which rises to approximately Euro 400 million with the effect of the club deals, and direct divestments of Euro 350 million.

In 2021, nearly all of the investee companies achieved excellent performances, driven by the strong international recovery, posting growth in financial performance that often exceeded that of their respective industry segments and nearly always outpaced their performance for 2019.

The only investee companies that did not post record performances were those for which the effects of the pandemic remained significant throughout the year.

The general economic slowdown seen in the latter part of 2021 due to widespread shortages in components, logistical challenges, and increases in the cost of energy and raw materials dampened the excellent performances emerging among the main investees, but did not overly impact financial performance for the year.

The market price of the TIP share and of all the main investees grew in 2021 to reach new all-time highs in the latter part of the year. As at December 31, 2021, the TIP share had risen by over 40% from the end of 2020, in addition to the effect of the distribution of profits.

Financial performance for the year was significantly supported, to the tune of nearly Euro 59 million, by the associated companies' share of results for the year, as well as by gains in excess of Euro 100 million on the sale of investments, mainly including the partial divestment of the shares in Prysmian S.p.A. by the subsidiary Clubtre S.r.l.

In April, TIP then acquired 33.8% of Clubtre from the minority shareholder, coming to hold 100% of the company. Nearly at the same time, Clubtre sold to this shareholder 1,208,253 Prysmian shares. Clubtre still holds approximately 2.4 million Prysmian shares.

As in previous periods, the pro-forma income statement for 2021, calculated considering the capital gains and losses realised and the write-downs of investments in equity, is reported below. We believe that this system, which was in effect until just a few years ago, is much more meaningful in presenting the results of TIP operations. The Directors' Report therefore comments upon the proforma figures, while the Notes provide disclosure upon the figures calculated as per IFRS 9.

The IFRS 9 income statement does not in fact include capital gains in the period on the sale of equity investments of Euro 114.7 million.

The share of the result of the associated companies was income of almost Euro 59 million, thanks to the strong results of IPGH S.p.A., parent company of the Interpump group, ITH S.p.A., parent company of the Sesa group, OVS S.p.A., Roche Bobois S.A., BE S.p.A., Beta Utensili S.p.A. and Elica S.p.A., partially offset by the loss reported by Alpitour S.p.A. The share of the result of the associated companies includes the results of the second, third and fourth quarters of Beta Utensili and Sant'Agata (parent company of the Chiorino group) following the transaction, finalised in April, with which TIP acquired 70.71% of the TIPO S.p.A. shares, together with 14.18% of Beta Utensili S.p.A. and 41.58% of the shares of Betaclub S.r.l. After this transaction, TIP now holds (directly and indirectly) 48.99% of Beta Utensili S.p.A. and 20% of Sant'Agata S.p.A., while TIPO S.p.A. and Betaclub S.r.l. were then merged into TIP in December. The total outlay for the transaction was approximately Euro 134.5 million.

In addition to the capital gains realised on the sale of shares, financial income includes approximately Euro 9.8 million in dividends received, including the extraordinary FCA N.V. dividend, amounting to Euro 2.7 million, and the dividend paid in kind in the form of 24,692 Faurecia S.A. shares, whose countervalue at the date of distribution was approximately Euro 1.1 million.

Advisory activity recorded revenues of approximately Euro 6.3 million in the period.

Personnel expenses, which, as always, are significantly impacted by the variable remuneration of the executive directors (i.e. the only remuneration tied to performance for the period), also include the financial impact of the assignment in March of the last options (totalling 3,500,000) under the "2014-2021 TIP Incentive Plan" stock option plan, which has now been fully allocated. The increase in other operating costs is correlated with the costs incurred in order to complete the transactions for the period.

Other financial income includes mainly interest income and gains on bonds for Euro 6.6 million, changes in the fair value of short-term investments in listed shares and gains realised for Euro 1.5 million, exchange gains of Euro 3.2 million and increases in the value of derivative instruments of Euro 2.6 million. Financial charges mainly concern the interest matured on the bond for Euro 7.7 million, decreases in the value of derivative instruments for Euro 6 million, losses on bonds for Euro 4 million, and other interest for Euro 1.8 million.

The Itaca Equity project has been operational since February, with soft-commitment funding of Euro 600 million, of which approximately Euro 100 million from TIP. Following the legislative measures issued to support businesses in difficulty, including moratoriums, state-backed lending, grants, and similar mechanisms, Itaca has not yet been able to complete its first investment, but TIP's board has approved an interesting transaction which is described below. In any event, the pipeline is gradually being developed and we are confident that it will be possible to present other transactions to the shareholders in 2022. At the same time, the recent corrections in corporate market valuations should make acquisitions more affordable.

In March, StarTIP S.r.l. acquired 19% of DV Holding S.p.A., parent company of the DoveVivo group, the European co-living leader. In June, a bond issue by DV Holding was also subscribed along with other investors. In recent days, following the capital investment of Euro 50 million by the Starwood group, Dove Vivo finalised the acquisition of the Altido group, one of Europe's leading property managers specialised in the hospitality industry, thereby resulting in Europe's largest platform for residential space with more than 2,500 properties in 40 cities in Spain, Italy, Portugal, England and Scotland.

StarTIP's share in Bending Spoons S.p.A. was further increased in May.

In July, TIP subscribed the capital increase of OVS S.p.A., investing a total of approximately Euro 21.6 million and slightly increasing the stake held, also as a result of taking up a significant portion of the un-opted shares.

Also in July, TIP subscribed the capital increase of Clubitaly S.p.A. for approximately Euro 1 million, and Clubitaly S.p.A., in turn, subscribed its share, of approximately Euro 2 million, in the capital increase of Eataly S.p.A.

In September, the investment in Be was also increased.

In October, StarTIP subscribed the capital increase of Digital Magics S.p.A. At that time, given that the capital increase was one of the planned liquidity events, the equity instruments of Digital Magics S.p.A. held by StarTIP were converted into shares. StarTIP is currently the leading shareholder of Digital Magics, with more than 20% of the capital.

In October, Asset Italia also subscribed a capital increase of Alpitour S.p.A. for a share slightly greater than its directly held share and totalling Euro 50 million. TIP's portion was Euro 11.6 million.

In October, TIP signed a binding agreement with the Limonta family for a 25% stake in Limonta S.p.A. for a total investment of about Euro 89 million, 50% by capital increase and 50% by the proportionate purchase of shares by the shareholders. Based on existing agreements, TIP designated Asset Italia S.p.A. to complete the transaction in December. Following the process of allocated the investment among the shareholders of Asset Italia, TIP subscribed about 52% of the shares related to the transaction for an investment of approximately Euro 46.2 million. The transaction was designed with a view to the progressive merger of operators in the high-value textile segment.

In November, TIP finalised the acquisition of an additional 5% of Vianova S.p.A. above the 12.04% already held for an investment of about Euro 5 million.

The purchase on the market of OVS shares also continued and, in November, TIP also subscribed to approximately Euro 15 million of the OVS sustainability-linked bond, with a rate of 2.25% and a duration of six years.

Also in November, within the scope of a much broader operation aimed at raising financial resources to direct to the acquisition of the Hyper Island group that further strengthened Talent Garden's education offering in Europe, StarTIP subscribed the equity instruments issued by Talent Garden S.p.A.

TIP also continued the purchases of treasury share and of other publicly listed shares, in addition to the active management of liquidity in bonds and government securities.

A programme to purchase a maximum of up to 18,351,236 treasury shares by April 30, 2022, is currently underway. At December 31, 1,243,668 shares had been purchased under the programme. At March 11, 2022, a total of 17,255,393 treasury shares were held.

The TIP Group consolidated net debt – also taking into account the bond – but without considering the non-current financial assets, considered by management as liquidity available in the short-term - at December 31, 2021 was approximately Euro 380.8 million, compared to approximately Euro 366.3 million at December 31, 2020.

In December, TIP repaid in advance the loan with Banco BPM with a nominal value of Euro 65,000,000 and an expiration of June 30, 2020. At the same time, a new multi-year loan with a nominal value of Euro 100,000,000 was obtained and is to be repaid in multiple tranches from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2025.

Either the full-year or interim performance numbers for 2021 reported by the main publicly listed investee companies Amplifon, Be, Elica, Interpump Group, Moncler, Prysmian and Roche Bobois have seen great improvements even over 2019, a further confirmation of the excellence of these

groups and of the solid strategic, operational and financial foundations from which these investee companies are climbing out of the emergency.

The figures for OVS S.p.A. for the first nine months at October 31 are highly positive and a marked improvement over the same period of 2020.

The third-quarter numbers at January 31, 2022, for Sesa S.p.A. are again excellent and a sharp increase over the first nine months of the previous year after closing the financial year ended April 30, 2021, at record highs.

The operations of other direct and indirect investee companies are also reporting positive performance in 2021, thereby consolidating the recovery that began in the latter part of 2020, although partially slowing in certain cases towards the end of the year. For understandable reasons, 2021 was again sharply negative for Alpitour S.p.A., while Eataly S.p.A. saw a gradual recovery, closing the year significantly better than budget. Both companies have continued to be affected by restrictions on the tourism and restaurant industries around the world.

Following the Board of Directors' approval of the "A Culture of Sustainability" document on March 12, 2021, which further confirmed and detailed TIP's (historically consolidated) commitment to ESG issues, activities relating to other commitments set out in the document are ongoing. For the updated document for 2022, see the Company's website (www.tipspa.it – Sustainability section).

Although saying this after what has happened over these last two and half months now seems out of place, growth in the TIP share price continued strongly in 2021 and, before the end of the year, surpassed Euro 10, an all-time high, even though that remains significantly below our internal estimates of medium-term intrinsic value of more than Euro 13 per share.

The usual ten-year TIP share chart (at March 11, 2022) highlights the excellent performance of the TIP share, up 462.8%, both on a stand-alone basis and as compared to the main national and international indices.

The ten-year total return(1) of the TIP share is also up 505%, for average annual gain of more than 50%.

(1) The total return is calculated by taking into account the performance of the TIP shares, the distributed dividends and the performance of the 2015-2020 TIP Warrants freely assigned to shareholders.

INVESTMENTS – PRINCIPAL HOLDINGS AT DECEMBER 31, 2021

The financial results reported below refer, where available, to the 2021 Annual Report already approved by the Board of Directors of the investees by the current date; in the absence of such figures, reference is made to the report for the first nine months of 2021 or prior year annual accounts.

A) SUBSIDIARIES

Clubtre S.r.l. (formerly Clubtre S.p.A.)

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2021: 100%

Following the transactions carried out in the first half of 2021 as described above, Clubtre S.r.l. holds a stake of about 1% in Prysmian S.p.A. as at December 31, 2021.

Prysmian is the world leader in the production of energy and telecommunication cables.

In 2021, Prysmian posted consolidated revenues of Euro 12.7 billion for organic growth of 11% compared to 2020. Adjusted EBITDA came to Euro 976 million, up 16.2% on 2020. Financial structure significantly improved to a net debt position of Euro 1.76 billion.

StarTIP S.r.l.

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2021: 100%

Company held 100% by TIP that holds investments in digital and innovation, including: Alkemy S.p.A., Alimentiamoci S.r.l., Bending Spoons S.p.A., Buzzoole S.p.A., Centy S.r.l., Digital Magics S.p.A., Dv Holding S.p.A. (which holds a stake of about 62% in DoveVivo S.p.A.), Heroes S.r.l.

(which holds a stake of over 40% in Talent Garden S.p.A.), MyWoWo S.r.l., Talent Garden S.p.A., and Telesia S.p.A.

In 2021, as discussed in part above, StarTIP finalised numerous new transactions, confirming the often reiterated intention to enable the TIP group to significantly increase its presence in this business segment.

StarTIP's investees – with the exceptions of Alkemy S.p.A. and Bending Spoons S.p.A. – generally suffered from the effects of the virus, but they are all recovering.

TXR S.r.l (company which holds 34.84% of Roche Bobois S.A.)

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2021: 51.00%

TXR, a 51.0% subsidiary of TIP, holds a 34.84% interest in Roche Bobois S.A., a company listed on the B segment of Euronext Paris.

The Roche Bobois group operates the largest high-end design furniture chain worldwide, with a network – direct and/or franchising – comprising over 330 sales points (of which approximately 110 owned) located in prestigious commercial areas, with a presence in the most important cities worldwide, including Europe, North, Central and South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Roche Bobois closed 2021 with aggregate business volumes of about Euro 640 million, up 32% compared to December 31, 2020, and above expectations given that 2020 was still a positive year for the Group. Demand remained strong throughout the year and orders have continued to rise. This strong upward trend has been seen in all regions. In 2021, the company posted record consolidated revenues at Euro 334 million, up 25.5% on 2020. The order backlog at December 31, 2021, was also very high, at Euro 159 million (+53.6% on 2020 and +99.5% on 2019).

This growth in business and in performance has driven the share higher, going from Euro 19.50 per share at the end of 2020 to Euro 37.30 at the end of 2021.

B) ASSOCIATED COMPANIES

Asset Italia S.p.A.

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2021: 20.00% excluding the shares related to specific investments

Asset Italia, incorporated in 2016 with the subscription, in addition to TIP, of approximately 30 family offices, with total capital funding of Euro 550 million, is an investment holding and gives shareholders the opportunity to choose for each proposal their individual investments and the receipt of shares for the specific asset class related to the investment subscribed.

TIP holds 20% of Asset Italia, in addition to shares related to specific investments, undertaking at least a pro-quota holding and providing support for the identification, selection, assessment and execution of investment projects.

As described previously, the company increased its investment in Alpitour in 2021 by way of the subsidiary Asset Italia S.r.l. and finalised the investment in the Limonta group by way of the subsidiary Asset Italia 3 S.r.l. Asset Italia also holds shares in Amplifon.

More specifically, in October Asset Italia, by way of the subsidiary Asset Italia 1, subscribed the capital increase of Alpitour S.p.A. for a total of Euro 50 million, for a share now slightly higher than it was originally. The investment by Asset Italia 1 was Euro 29.6 million, carried out in part directly and in part by way of the shareholding Alpiholding S.r.l. In relation to this investment, Asset Italia increased capital by euro 29,905,940.70, including share premium, reserved for the shareholders tied to the Alpitour investment.

Also in October, TIP signed a binding agreement with the Limonta family for a 25% stake in Limonta S.p.A., partly through a share capital increase and partly through the purchase of shares, for a total investment of about Euro 88.6 million. Based on existing agreements, TIP designated Asset Italia S.p.A. to complete the transaction in December 2021. In relation to this transaction, too, capital was increased by Euro 89,298,000.00, including share premium, reserved for shareholders who, following the allocation of the investment among the shareholders, had expressed an interest. Therefore, shares related to the new series 3 were issued.

As such, as of December 31, 2021, Asset Italia, through Asset Italia 1 and Asset Italia 3, holds shares in:

Alpitour S.p.A.

Asset Italia 1 owns both 49.9% of Alpiholding S.r.l., which in turn owns 39.38% (41.54% on a fully diluted basis) of Alpitour S.p.A., and a direct stake in Alpitour S.p.A. of 35.18% (37.11% on a fully diluted basis).

For Alpitour, the financial year ended October 31, 2021, was again heavily, and adversely, affected by the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on travel and closure of tourist destinations. Despite the positive effects of the vaccine roll-out on many industries, the tourism industry was, for the second year in a row, hit hard by the pandemic. The partial lockdowns and other restrictions implemented in response to ongoing waves of the

pandemic through the autumn months significantly compromised performance throughout the year. Thanks to a temporary regression of the virus with the arrival of warm weather and the massive vaccine roll-out nationwide in Italy, the summer months showed signs of recovery, although business volumes remained far below pre-COVID levels. This was because the tourism industry was held back by the limited number of destinations to which people could travel.

In addition to the pandemic and the travel restrictions imposed by governments in Italy and abroad, the return of tourism was also significantly compromised by general fears of infection and the risk of not finding adequate health care in many foreign countries, as well as by financial concerns as the crisis over the last year has eroded consumers' spending capacity.

The opening of certain "COVID-free" travel corridors in the autumn months (e.g. to the Maldives, Aruba, Egypt, Seychelles, Mauritius, and the Dominican Republic) had offered initial signs of recovery for the industry, particularly looking forward to the 2022 winter season, but this effect was partially compromised by the gradual spread of infections due to the new variant of the virus.

Within this landscape, Alpitour posted a 20% decrease in consolidated revenues, from Euro 747 million to Euro 598 million, with EBITDA well into negative territory, at a loss of Euro 56 million, as compared to an EBITDA loss of Euro 112 million last year, despite the great many cost-containment efforts implemented by the group. The net loss of about Euro 102.8 million in 2021, which is essentially in line with the previous year, benefitted from Euro 56.4 million in industry grants, but was penalised by foreign exchange losses of about Euro 16.3 million (compared to gains of Euro 22.4 million last year).

Nonetheless, the company continued pursuing investments during the year aimed at maintaining its position of leadership and remaining ready to start up again once the health emergency has passed. More specifically, as mentioned above, capital was increased by Euro 50 million in order to strengthen the company's capital structure.

Within the scope of the strategic development plan, the following operations were also carried out:

  • the opening of the new "Ca' di Dio", a 5-star hotel in Venice;
  • the acquisition of management of the hotel "Palazzo delle Stelline";
  • the signing of a lease agreement for the hotel "Tropea Beach";
  • the signing of a new 24-year lease agreement for the hotel "Tanka Village";
  • the definition of an agreement for the delivery of 4 new B737 Max aircraft at highly competitive financial conditions;
  • the addition of 2 new B787 Dreamliners to the fleet.

Financial forecasts for the current year remain heavily impacted by the timing and manner in which we get through the pandemic, which appears to be heading in the right direction, but uncertainties remain, including with the recent Russia-Ukraine issue.

Limonta S.p.A.

Limonta is a European leader in high-end textiles and covers the full textile value chain, combined with resin coating and other coating technologies, coagulated fabrics, and printing and with a particular focus on the development of sustainable products. The group's two cores of production and technology make Limonta unique in the international competitive landscape of woven, jacquard and coated fabrics for clothing, fashion accessories and interior design. The company has also developed extensive know-how and a wide range of innovative technical processes and solutions that, along with a keen focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and on responsible supply-chain management, make them a strategic partner for all of the world's leading fashion houses. The investment by Asset Italia aims to assist the ownership and management in continuing to develop the group – including by acquisitions – so that Limonta can become a high-value aggregator in the Italy's textile industry by achieving economies of scale in an industry that remains highly fragmented.

The investment, carried out through Asset Italia 3 S.r.l., which acquired about Euro 44.3 million in shares and subscribed a reserved capital increase of Euro 44.3 million, resulted in a 25% stake in Limonta.

The Limonta group closed 2021 with consolidated revenues of Euro 173.9 million, EBITDA of Euro 41.1 million, and net profit of more than Euro 25.4 million, on cash of about Euro 83.9 million.

Asset Italia also holds 59,676 Amplifon S.p.A. shares. The results of Amplifon S.p.A., as also a direct holding, are illustrated in the section on investments in listed companies.

BE Think, Solve, Execute S.p.A. ("BE")

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2021: 28.282% (29.867% fully diluted) Listed on the Euronext Star Milan of Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

The BE Group is one of Italy's leading operators in professional services for the financial-services industry and, on the back of a strong 2020, continued its growth into 2021, both internally and by way of business combinations.

In 2021, the BE Group delivered very strong results, with a value of production of Euro 235.3 million, up 31.6%, and EBITDA of Euro 33.3 million (Euro 26.5 million in 2020, +29%).

Beta Utensili S.p.A.

TIP percentage held (direct and indirect) at December 31, 2021: 48.99%

Beta Utensili is the Italian leader in the sector of quality utensils.

Following the investment by the TIP group, Beta Utensili gradually increased the scope of its operations, including finalising numerous acquisitions that are giving rise to interesting synergies and positioning the group as an increasingly unique presence in Italy, while also generating very significant levels of exports.

Beta Utensili posted excellent performance in 2021 with consolidated revenues of Euro 219.5 million, up 36% on 2020, EBITDA of Euro 30.4 million, and net debt of Euro 54.3 million.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The transactions with related parties are detailed in Note 36 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in note 34 to the notes to the separate financial statements.

EVENTS AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2021

Obviously, the objectively most significant event occurring since year end is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. At the moment, it is difficult for anyone to make predictions, but what is clear is that there could be major consequences for the economy and for the financial markets.

As for the group's business, in February, by way of a reserved increase in capital, TIP acquired a 10% interest in Lio Factory, which heads up a platform of alternative investments (in special opportunities, real estate and deep tech) led by a data-driven approach. With offices in Milan, London, Luxembourg and Boston, the Lio Factory Group was founded about ten years ago by Francesco Marini and was quick to become a major player in rapidly growing segments in which TIP was not present. The group's greatest innovation concerns the technological expertise acquired, in that many of the decision-making processes of investments teams are developed with the help of algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Also in February, TIP and Stefano and Carlo Achermann signed a letter of intent with Engineering – Ingegneria Informatica S.p.A., an Italian digital-transformation company with international operations and held by the private equity funds managed by Bain Capital and NB Renaissance. The document outlines the key terms and conditions of an agreement aimed at the sale of a 43.209% interest in Be to Engineering. The terms of the agreement essentially call for: (i) the sale of 58,287,622 Be shares at a price of Euro 3.45 per share; and (ii) the reinvestment of a total of Euro 52 million by TIP and Stefano and Carlo Achermann in the Italian holding company that controls Engineering. Completion of the transaction is dependent upon a number of circumstances (e.g. due diligence, the raising of funds and of other BE shares, antitrust and "Golden Power" authorisations, etc.) If finalised, the transaction will result in an obligation for the buyer to issue a public purchase

offer for the BE shares, as well as a gain of more than Euro 100 million for TIP.

In February, through StarTIP, the investment in DV Holding was also increased by about Euro 2.6 million. At the same time, the previously issued bond was redeemed for the same amount.

By early March, following additional purchases on the market, the share held in OVS had risen to 28.44%.

Treasury share purchases amounting to approximately Euro 10 million as well as the investment of liquidity in listed bonds and shares continued, along with a number of divestments.

OUTLOOK

The economic outlook for the coming year is influenced both by the timing and manner in which we come out of the pandemic, which appears to be heading in the right direction, but uncertainties remain, and, mainly, by global events – developments in the Ukraine crisis first and foremost, which could further impact both the markets and the outlook for businesses. In additional, supply-chain challenges, increasing energy prices, difficulties in finding specialised personnel, and the lack/rising prices of many raw materials will need to be monitored and managed with great care.

In recent years, TIP and our investee companies have been able to respond by leveraging our particular qualities, including:

    1. TIP's portfolio of investments is made up of objective global, European, or Italian leaders in their fields, and the strength of their positioning has thus far enabled us to mitigate the negative effects, to recover quickly, and to grow at rates much greater than the average of our respective markets. The portfolio also includes innovative companies increasingly focused on the digital economy and sensitive to ESG issues, making them particularly attentive of all the latest developments;
    1. the level of debt of nearly all the companies in which TIP holds an interest is very limited, so risk remains quite low;
    1. TIP has access to immediate liquidity.

In times such as these, in which the challenges to be faced continue to increase, these three factors become greatly important. Given the nature of the activities of TIP it is however not easy to forecast the performance for the current year. Performance for 2022 will depend on trends in the markets and in the global landscape and on real opportunities that arise in the future. At present, the budgets for 2022 of both current investee companies and potential targets remain positive, including in comparison to 2021.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the year the Company did not carry out any research and development activity.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 2021

(1) Group activities

The TIP Group is an independent and diversified industrial group, focused on Italian mediumsized companies, with a particular involvement in:

    1. investments: as an active shareholder in companies (listed and non-listed) capable of achieving "excellence" in their relative fields of expertise and, with regards to the StarTIP project, in start-ups and innovative companies;
    1. investment through Itaca Equity Holding in companies that are experiencing temporary financial difficulties and need both a strategic and organisational refocus;
    1. advisory: in corporate finance operations, in particular acquisitions and sales through the division Tamburi & Associati (T&A).

(2) Accounting standards

The parent company TIP was incorporated in Italy as a limited liability company and with registered office in Italy.

The company was listed in November 2005 and on December 20, 2010 Borsa Italiana S.p.A. assigned the STAR classification to TIP ordinary shares.

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 15, 2022 which authorised their publication.

The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 were prepared in accordance with the going-concern concept and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards (hereafter "IFRS", "IAS" or international accounting standards) issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) and the relative interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and adopted by the European Commission with Regulation No. 1725/2003 and subsequent modifications, in accordance with Regulation No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament.

The consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS1 are comprised of the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flow and the explanatory notes, together with the Directors' Report. The financial statements were prepared in units of Euro, without decimal amounts.

The accounting policies utilised for the preparation of this consolidated report are consistent with those utilised for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the year 2020 and the statement of financial position at December 31, 2020 were utilised for comparative purposes.

During the year, no special circumstances arose requiring recourse to the exceptions allowed under IAS 1.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 requires the formulation of valuations, estimates and assumptions which impact the application of the accounting principles and the amounts of the assets, liabilities, costs and revenues recorded in the financial statements. These estimates and relative assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable. However it should be noted as these refer to estimates, the results obtained will not necessarily be the same as those represented. The estimates are used to value the provisions for risks on receivables, measurement at fair value of financial instruments, impairment tests, employee benefits and income taxes.

New accounting standards

New standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations applicable for periods subsequent to January 1, 2021 and not yet adopted by the Group

At the reporting date, the relevant bodies of the European Union had not yet concluded the process necessary for the implementation of the amendments and standards described below.

  • On January 23, 2020, the IASB published an amendment entitled "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent". The purpose of the document is to clarify how to classify payables and other short or long-term liabilities. The amendments enter into force on January 1, 2022, although the IASB has issued an exposure draft to postpone their entry into force until January 1, 2023; however, early application is permitted.
  • On May 14, 2020 the IASB published the following amendments: Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations: the purpose of the amendments is to update the reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework in the revised version, without this entailing any changes to the provisions of IFRS 3. - Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: the purpose of the amendments is not to allow the deduction from the cost of property, plant and equipment of the amount received from the sale of goods produced during the testing phase of the relevant asset. These sales revenues and related costs will therefore be recognised to the statement of profit or loss. - Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: the amendment clarifies that in estimating the possible onerousness of a contract, all costs directly attributable to the contract must be considered. Accordingly, the assessment of whether a contract is onerous includes not only incremental costs (such as the cost of direct material used in processing), but also all costs that the enterprise cannot avoid because it has entered into the contract (such as, for example, the share of personnel expenses and depreciation of machinery used to perform the contract). - Annual Improvements 2018-2020: the amendments were made to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples of IFRS 16 Leases. All the amendments will enter into force from January 1, 2022.
  • On May 31, 2021, the IASB published an amendment called "Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (Amendment to IFRS 16)". The document provides for the extension for one year of the May 2020 amendment that clarified the circumstance that a lessee, as a practical expedient, may assess that specific rate reductions (as a direct result of COVID-19) may not be considered as plan changes, and therefore the effects of rent reductions may be accounted for directly in the income statement on the effective date of the reduction. The new amendment is applied from April 1, 2021.
  • The IASB published on February 12, 2021 Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IFRS Practice Statement 2 "Disclosure of Accounting policies" to support companies in choosing which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
  • On February 12, 2021, the IASB published Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates", which introduces a new definition of accounting estimates and clarifies the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies, and errors. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
  • On May 7, 2021, the IASB published Amendments to "IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" which requires companies to recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities on particular transactions that, upon initial recognition, give rise to equivalent (taxable and deductible) temporary differences - e.g. transactions related to leases. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.

The impacts of these amendments on the Group consolidated financial statements are currently being assessed. Based on a preliminary review of the potential issues, direct significant impacts on TIP are not expected.

Consolidation principles and basis of consolidation

Consolidation scope

The consolidation scope includes the parent TIP - Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. and the companies over which it exercises direct or indirect control. An investor controls an entity in which an investment has been made when exposed to variable income streams or when possessing rights to such income streams based on the relationship with the entity, and at the same time has the capacity to affect such income steams through the exercise of its power. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is effectively transferred to the Group, and cease to be consolidated from the date control is transferred outside the Group.

At December 31, 2021, the consolidated companies included Clubdue S.r.l., Clubtre S.r.l., StarTIP S.r.l., and TXR S.r.l. The companies TIP-pre IPO S.p.A. and Betaclub S.r.l., which joined the consolidation scope in 2021, were merged into TIP in December 2021. The effects of the acquisition of controlling interests in these companies are shown below.

Registered Number of Number of shares
Company Name Office Share capital shares held % Held
Clubdue S.r.l. Milan 10,000 10,000 10,000 100.00%
Clubtre S.r.l. Milan 120,000 120,000 120,000 100.00%
StarTIP S.r.l. Milan 50,000 50,000 50,000 100.00%
TXR S.r.l. Milan 100,000 100,000 51,000 51.00%

The details of the subsidiaries were as follows:

In April 2021, TIP acquired 23,055 shares from the minority shareholder of Clubtre with an additional investment of Euro 55.7 million, representing an additional stake of 19.22% (100% fully diluted). Following the transaction, TIP became the sole shareholder of Clubtre. The treasury shares were then cancelled, and the company was transformed into a limited-liability company. The acquisition of the stake held by the minority interests resulted in a reduction in equity attributable to minority interests of Euro 55.9 million and a reclassification, within equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company, of Euro 7.9 million from retained earnings to the "OCI reserve without reversal", Euro 8.3 million, and to the "OCI reserve with reversal" for a negative Euro 0.4 million, so as to realign these reserves with the similar reserves included in the equity attributable to the minority interests, which were eliminated.

TIP acquired a controlling interest in TIPO S.p.A., which was then merged, following the acquisition in April, with an additional investment of Euro 73.7 million (of which 1.4 million deferred to be paid within 10 days of March 31, 2023, the date set as the contractual deadline for the commitments undertaken for the sale of the iGuzzini S.p.A. investment executed in March 2019), of a further stake of 70.71% in the company, adding to the existing stake of 29.29%. Following this transaction, TIP came to hold 100% of TIPO S.p.A. The obtaining of control of TIPO S.p.A. and the consequent transfer of the company from an associated company measured under the equity method to a subsidiary subject to line-by-line consolidation resulted in the recognition of the holdings in TIPO S.p.A. already held similarly to as would have occurred on the divestment of the holding and re-acquired at their fair value at the time. This transaction also resulted in the recognition of a gain of approximately Euro 3.7 million. The subsequent merger of TIPO into TIP was recognised at constant values on the consolidated financial statements.

On the same date, TIP also acquired, with an investment of Euro 29.2 million, a stake of 41.58% in the company Betaclub S.r.l., adding to the existing stake of 58.42% held by TIPO S.p.A. Following this transaction, TIP came to hold 100% of Betaclub S.r.l. either directly or indirectly. The subsequent merger of Betaclub into TIP was recognised at constant values on the consolidated financial statements.

Allocation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the TIPO S.p.A. and Betaclub S.r.l. transaction is as follows:

Euro
A Investments in associated companies 129,482,761
B Cash and cash equivalents 5,027,084
C Other current assets 481,980
D Total assets (A+B+C) 134,991,825
E Deferred tax liabilities (1,100,692)
F Current liabilities (211,287)
G Total assets and liabilities assumed (D+E+F) 133,679,846

The consideration paid for the controlling stake in TIPO/Betaclub was established as follows:

C Consideration (A+B) 133,679,846
B Fair value of the share of investments already held 30,728,830
A Consideration for additional investments 102,951,016

Consolidation procedures

The consolidation of the subsidiaries is made on the basis of the respective financial statements of the subsidiaries, adjusted where necessary to ensure uniform accounting policies adopted by the Parent Company.

All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains deriving from transactions between Group companies are fully eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated except when they represent a permanent impairment in value.

Mergers of group companies that do not entail the acquisition or loss of controlling interests are recognised at constant values on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting policies

The most significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 are disclosed below.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant & equipment are recognised at historical cost, including directly allocated accessory costs and those necessary for bringing the asset to the condition for which it was acquired. If major components of such tangible assets have different useful lives, such components are accounted for separately.

Tangible assets are presented net of accumulated depreciation and any losses in value, calculated as described below.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis according to the estimated useful life of the asset; useful life is reviewed annually. Any changes, where necessary, are recorded in accordance with future estimates; the main depreciation rates used are the following: following:

- furniture & fittings 12%
- equipment & plant 15%
- EDP 20%
- mobile telephones 20%
- equipment 15%
- Automobiles 25%

The book value of tangible assets is tested to ascertain possible losses in value if events or circumstances indicate that the book value cannot be recovered. If there is an indication of this type and in the case where the carrying value exceeds the realisable value, the assets must be written down to their realisable value. The realisable value of the property, plant and equipment is the higher between the net sales price and the value in use. In defining the value of use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks of the activity. Losses in value are charged to the income statement under amortisation, depreciation and write-down costs. Such losses are restated when the reasons for their write-down no longer exist.

At the moment of the sale, or when there are no expected future economic benefits from the use of an asset, this is eliminated from the financial statements and any loss or gain (calculated as the difference between the disposal value and the book value) is recorded in the income statement in the year of the above-mentioned elimination.

GOODWILL

Business combinations are recorded using the purchase method. Goodwill represents the surplus of acquisition cost compared to the purchaser's share of the identifiable net fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, current and potential. After initial recognition, goodwill is reduced by any accumulated losses in value, calculated with the methods described below.

Goodwill deriving from acquisitions prior to January 1, 2004 are recorded at replacement cost, equal to the value recorded in the last financial statements prepared in accordance with the previous accounting standards (December 31, 2003). In the preparation of the opening financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards the acquisitions before January 1, 2004 were not reconsidered.

Goodwill is subject to a recoverability analysis conducted annually or at shorter intervals in case of events or changes that could result in possible losses in value. Any goodwill emerging at the acquisition date is allocated to each cash-generating unit which is expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Any loss in value is identified by means of valuations based on the ability of each cash-generating unit to produce cash flows for purposes of recovering the part of goodwill allocated to it; these valuations are conducted with the methods described in the section referring to tangible assets. If the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit is less than the attributed book value, the loss in value is recorded.

This loss is not restated if the reasons for the loss no longer exist.

OTHER INTANIGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets are recorded at cost, in accordance with the procedures indicated for tangible fixed assets.

The intangible assets with definite useful lives are recognised net of the relative accumulated amortisation and any permanent impairment in value, determined in the same manner as that for tangible assets.

Useful life is reviewed annually and any changes required are applied prospectively.

The gains and losses deriving from the disposal of intangible assets are determined as the difference between the value of disposal and the carrying value of the asset and are recorded in the income statement at the moment of the disposal.

LEASING

A leasing contract assigns to an entity the right to use an asset for a set period of time in exchange for consideration. For the lessee, at accounting level there is no distinction between finance and operating leases, with both applying a common accounting model to record leases. According to this model, the company recognises to its balance sheet an asset, representing the relative right-ofuse, and a liability, representing the obligation to make contractually agreed payments, for all leases with a duration of greater than twelve months whose value is not considered insignificant, while in the income statement recording depreciation of the asset recognised and separately the interest on the payable recorded. Rent reductions associated with Covid-19 are accounted for, without having to assess through contract analysis whether the definition of lease modification in IFRS 16 is met, directly in the income statement at the effective date of the reduction.

ASSOCIATED COMPANIES MEASURED UNDER THE EQUITY METHOD

Associated companies are companies in which the Group exercises a significant influence on the financial and operating policies, although not having control. Significant influence is presumed when between 20% and 50% of voting rights is held in another entity.

Investments in associated companies are measured under the equity method and initially recorded at cost. The investments include the goodwill identified on acquisition, less any cumulative loss in value. When there is objective evidence of an impairment, recovery of the value recognised is verified by comparing the book value with the relative recoverable value, with any difference being recognised through profit or loss. The consolidated financial statements include the share of profits and losses of the investees measured under the equity method, net of any adjustments necessary to align accounting principles and eliminate intercompany margins not realised, on the date in which significant influence commences or the joint control until the date such influence or control ceases. The adjustments necessary for the elimination of intercompany margins not realised are recorded in the account "share of profits/loss of investments under equity". When the share of the loss of an investment measured under the equity method exceeds the book value of the investee, the investment is written-down and the share of the further losses are not recorded except in the cases where there is a legal or implied contractual obligation or where payments were made on behalf of the investee.

When a company becomes an associated company in a series of stages, the cost of the investment is measured as the sum of the fair value of the interests previously held and the fair value of the considerations paid as at the date on which the investment becomes an associated company. The effect of remeasurement of the book value of the shares held previously is recognised in the same way as for the case in which the investment is sold. Therefore, as significant influence was found to exist, the greater accumulated fair value, taken to the OCI reserve, is reclassified to retained earnings in equity.

INVESTMENTS MEASURED AT FVOCI

For the investments in equity, comprising generally investments with shareholdings below 20% which are not held for trading, according to the option under IFRS 9, they are recognised recording the changes in the fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) and therefore with counter-entry to an equity reserve. The FVOCI accounting of the investments in equity provides for, on sale, the reversal from the fair value reserve matured directly to other equity reserves. The dividends received from the investments are therefore recognised through profit or loss.

The fair value is identified in the case of listed investments with the stock exchange price at the balance sheet date and in the case of investments in non-listed companies utilising valuation techniques. These valuation techniques include the comparison with the values taken from similar recent operations and other valuation techniques which are substantially based on the analysis of the capacity of the investee to produce future cash flows, discounted to reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of the activities undertaken.

The investments in equity instruments which do not have a listed price on a regulated market and whose fair value cannot be reasonably valued, are measured at cost, reduced by any loss in value.

The choice between the above-mentioned methods is not optional, as these must be applied in hierarchal order: absolute priority is given to official prices available on active markets (effective market quotes – level 1) or for assets and liabilities measured based on valuation techniques which take into account observable market parameters (comparable approaches – level 2) and the lowest priority to assets and liability whose fair value is calculated based on valuation techniques which take as reference non-observable parameters on the market and therefore more discretional (market model – level 3).

FINANCIAL RECEIVABLES MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST

These concern financial assets acquired by the company with the intention of maintaining them until maturity in order to receive the relative interest, and any sales are incidental events. These financial assets are valued at amortised cost.

FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FVTPL

The financial assets, generally convertible loans, which generate cash flows which provide for the allocation of shares and/or include implied derivatives relating to the conversion clauses, are measured at fair value with the relative changes recognised to the income statement.

Equity investments made for the purpose of making temporary use of liquidity are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The derivative instruments not embedded in other financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FVOCI

The current financial assets valued at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets comprising investments in bond securities which constitute temporary liquidity investments realised in accordance with the business model which provides for the receipt of the relative cash flows and the sale of the bonds on an opportunistic basis. The cash flows from these financial instruments comprise solely principal and interest.

They are measured at FVOCI, recognising to an equity reserve the fair value changes in the securities until the date of sale and recording in the income statement interest income and any impairments. At the time of sale, the gains/losses are recognised through profit or loss with reversal of the fair value changes through profit or loss previously recognised in the equity reserve.

The purchases and sales of securities are recorded and cancelled at the settlement date.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

Receivables are recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. They are adjustments for sums considered uncollectible.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include those values which are available on demand at short notice (within three months), certain in nature and with no payment expenses. Financial operations are recorded at the settlement date.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, available liquidity is represented by cash and cash equivalents less bank overdrafts at the balance sheet date.

TRADE AND FINANCIAL PAYABLES

Trade payables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The financial liabilities are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

EMPLOYEES BENEFITS

The benefits guaranteed to employees paid on the termination of employment or thereafter through defined benefit plans are recognised in the period the right matures. The liability for defined benefit plans, net of any plan assets, is calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions and is recorded by the accrual method consistent with the years of employment necessary to obtain such benefits. The liability is calculated by independent actuaries.

The Company recognises additional benefits to a number of employees through the incentive plans. A stock option plan and a performance shares plan are currently in place.

According to IFRS 2 – Share-based payments, these plans are a component of the remuneration of the beneficiaries and provide for application of the "equity settlement" method. Therefore, the relative cost is represented by the fair value of the financial instruments attributed at the grant date, and is recognised in the income statement over the period between the grant date and the maturity date, and directly recorded under equity. A portion of the plan was executed as a cash settlement in accordance with the regulations, and the relative cost, represented by the consideration paid, was recognised in the income statement over the period between the grant date and the maturity date, and as a reduction to cash and cash equivalents.

On the exercise of the "equity settled" options by the beneficiaries with the transfer of treasury shares against the liquidity received, the stock option plan reserve is reversed for the portion attributable to the options exercised, and the treasury shares reserve is reversed based on the average cost of the shares transferred and the residual differential is recorded as the gains/loss on treasury shares traded with counter-entry in the share premium reserve, in accordance with the accounting policy adopted.

Similarly, at the time of the transfer of treasury shares corresponding to the performance shares matured, the performance shares plan reserve is reversed for the portion concerning the units exercised and therefore the shares transferred. The treasury shares reserve is reversed based on the average cost of the shares transferred and the residual differential is recorded as the gains/loss on treasury shares traded with counter-entry in the share premium reserve, in accordance with the accounting policy adopted.

TREASURY SHARES

The treasury shares held by the parent company are recorded as a reduction from equity in the negative treasury shares reserve. The original cost of the treasury shares and the income deriving from any subsequent sale are recognised as equity movements, recording the differential as the gains/loss on treasury shares traded with counter-entry in the share premium reserve, in accordance with the accounting policy adopted

REVENUES

Revenues are recognised when the customer acquires control of the services provided and, consequently, when having the capacity to direct usage and obtain benefits. In the case in which a contract stipulates a portion of consideration dependent on the occurrence of future events, the estimate of the variable part is included in revenues only where such is considered highly probable. In the case of transactions concerning the simultaneous provision of a number of services, the sales price is allocated on the basis of the price which the company would apply to customers where such services included in the contract were sold individually. According to this type of operation, the revenues are recognised on the basis of the specific criteria indicated below:

  • the revenues for advisory/investment banking services are recognised with reference to the stage of completion of the activities. For practical purposes, when services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless there is evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion.

  • the success fees which mature on the exercise of a significant deed are recorded under revenues when the significant deed is completed;

  • the variable revenue components for the provision of services other than success fees are recognised on the basis of the state of completion, to the extent that it is highly probable that subsequent to the resolution of the uncertainty related to the variable consideration a significant reduction of the amount of cumulative revenues recorded does not occur.

Where it is not possible to reliably determine the value of revenues, they are recognised up to the costs incurred which may reasonably be recovered.

GAINS AND LOSSES DERIVING FROM THE SALE OF SECURITIES

The income and charges deriving from the sale of shares classified under current financial assets measured at FVOCI are recorded on an accruals basis at the operation valuation date, recording changes in fair value to the income statement which were previously recognised through equity.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND CHARGES

Financial income and charges are recorded on an accruals basis on the interest matured on the net value of the relative financial assets and liabilities and utilising the effective interest rate.

DIVIDENDS

The dividends are recorded in the year in which the right of the shareholders to receive the payment arises. The dividends received from investments valued under the equity method were recorded as a reduction in the value of the investments.

INCOME TAXES

Current income taxes for the period are determined based on an estimate of the taxable assessable income and in accordance with current legislation. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences between the values recorded in the financial statements and the corresponding values recognised for fiscal purposes. The recognition of deferred tax assets is made when their recovery is probable - that is when it is expected that there will be future assessable fiscal income sufficient to recover the asset. The recovery of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are always recorded in accordance with the provisions of IAS 12.

(3) Presentation

The choices adopted by the Group relating to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements are illustrated below:

  • income statement and comprehensive income statement: IAS 1 requires alternatively classification based on the nature or destination of the items. The Group decided to present the accounts by nature of expenses;

  • statement of financial position: in accordance with IAS 1, the assets and liabilities should be classified as current or non-current or, alternatively, according to the liquidity order. The Group chose the classification criteria of current and non-current;

  • statement of changes in consolidated equity, prepared in accordance with IAS 1;
  • statement of cash flows: in accordance with IAS 7 the statement of cash flows reports cash flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities, based on the indirect method.

(4) Segment disclosure

TIP is a diversified, independent industrial group. Top management activity supported by the above-mentioned activities, both at marketing contact level and institutional initiatives and direct involvement in the various deals, is highly integrated. In addition, also in relation to execution activity, the activity is organised with the objective to render the "on-call" commitment more flexible of professional staff in advisory or equity activity.

In relation to this choice it is almost impossible to provide a clear representation of the separate financial economic impact of the different areas of activity, as the breakdown of the personnel costs of top management and other employees on the basis of a series of estimates related to parameters which could be subsequently superseded by the actual operational activities would result in an extremely high distortion of the level of profitability of the segments of activity.

In the present consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 only details on the performance of the "revenues from sales and services" component is provided, related to the sole activity of advisory, excluding therefore the account "other revenues".

Euro 2021 2020
Revenue from sales and services 6,242,702 4,330,409
Total 6,242,702 4,330,409

Revenues are highly dependent on the timing of success fee maturation.

Total 4,817,214 2,270,267

Service costs mainly relate to banking commissions on the sale of listed shares, general and commercial expenses and professional and legal consultancy. They include Euro 151,253 of charges, including non-deductible VAT, for audit fees and Euro 134,703 of emoluments of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Board. The increase in service costs on the previous period is mainly due to the commissions recognised by Clubtre in relation to the sale of Prysmian shares through an Accelerated BookBuilding procedure, in addition to the change in the consolidation scope.

Other charges principally include taxes on financial transactions, non-deductible VAT, and stamp duties.

The account comprises:

The variable charges for directors are in line, as always, with the pro-forma performances of the company. The 3,500,000 options granted were exercised in their entirety by June 30, 2021, partially by way of cash settlement.

This item also includes Euro 3,528,992 deriving from the allocation according to the vesting period of the charge related to the assignment of 2,500,000 Units under the "TIP 2019 - 2021 Performance Shares Plan". In line with IFRS 2, the Units allocated were measured according to the equity settlement method. The fair value of the option was measured utilising the applicable valuation method, taking into account the terms and conditions by which the Units were allocated.

"Post-employments benefits" are updated based on actuarial valuations, with the gains or losses recognised through equity.

At December 31, 2021, the number of TIP employees was as follows:

(8) Share of profit/(loss) of associated companies measured under the equity method

The share of profit/(loss) of associated companies, totalling a profit of approximately Euro 58.9 million, includes, in addition to the profits of the investee companies OVS, IPGH, ITH, Be, Roche Bobois S.A. and others, the profit of OVS S.p.A., including a significant benefit on income taxes from the fiscal realignment in the 20/21 financial year, the net loss of Alpitour S.p.A. and the second, third and fourth quarter results of Beta Utensili S.p.A. and Sant'Agata S.p.A..

The result of the associated companies benefitted from the positive accounting effects from the change in the holdings through capital increases, which resulted in the recognition of total income of Euro 1.6 million, equal to the difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the carrying amount of the share sold and the positive effects, for Euro 3.7 million, of the fair value measurement of the holding in TIPO S.p.A. already held at the point of obtaining control.

The recoverable value is estimated based on the value in use, calculated using the following assumptions:

  • forecast of normalised perpetual cash flows of the advisory activity;
  • terminal value based on a perpetuity of 1.4%;
  • discount rate corresponding to the cost of capital ("ke unlevered") equal to 5.88%.

(13) Investments measured at FVOCI

The account refers to minority investments in listed and non-listed companies.

Euro December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Investments in listed companies 676,035,492 814,441,270
Investments in non-listed companies 156,224,031 65,718,270
Total 832,259,524 880,159,540

The changes in the investments measured at FVOCI are shown in Attachment 2.

The TIP Group holds at December 31, 2021 investments (Digital Magics, Eataly, Buzzoole, DoveVivo) not classified as associated companies, although in the presence of a holding above 20% and/or some indicators which would be associated with significant influence, as the investees are unable to provide periodic financial information such as to permit the TIP Group recognition in accordance with the equity method. The unavailability of such information represents a limitation in the exercise of significant influence and consequently it was considered appropriate to qualify these investments as measured at FVOCI.

In line with ESMA's recommendations, the outbreak of the pandemic and the effects of the consequent lockdowns and restrictions were taken into consideration as indicators of impairment. The valuations of the non-listed companies were calculated considering the development of alternative scenarios, as suggested by the ESMA.

The composition of the valuation methods of the investments measured at FVOCI relating to investments in listed and non-listed companies is illustrated in the table below:

Listed companies Non-listed companies
Method (% of total) (% of total)
Listed prices on active markets (level 1) 100% 0.00%
Valuation models based on market inputs (level 2) 0.0% 32.90%
Other valuation techniques (level 3) 0.0% 67.00%
Purchase cost 0.0% 0.10%
Total 100.0% 100.00%

(14) Associated companies measured under the equity method

The investments in associated companies refer to:

  • for Euro 153,691,798 the associated company OVS S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 113,858,867 the associated company Beta Utensili S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 112,820,170 the investment in Gruppo IPG Holding S.p.A. (company which holds the majority shareholding in Interpump Group S.p.A.);
  • for Euro 107,768,399 to Asset Italia S.p.A., which holds investments in Alpitour and Limonta and a share of Amplifon through special-purpose vehicles;
  • for Euro 80,685,694 the company Roche Bobois S.A., held 34.84% through TXR S.r.l., listed on the stock market since July 2018;
  • for Euro 62,046,554 to the associated company ITH S.p.A., the parent company of Sesa S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 54,161,016 the associated company Sant'Agatha S.p.A. (Chiorino);
  • for Euro 51,022,328 the company Clubitaly S.p.A., with a 19.8% stake in Eataly S.p.A. The investment of Clubitaly S.p.A. in Eataly S.p.A. is measured at fair value in that the absence of the necessary financial information for the application of the equity method determines the current limited exercise of significant influence;
  • for Euro 42,659,254 the associated company Elica S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 30,063,250 the associated company BE S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 2,691,056 the associated company Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 803,365 the associated company Itaca Equity S.r.l.;
  • for Euro 639,835 the investments in the companies Palazzari & Turries Limited, with registered office in Hong Kong and in Gatti & Co Gmbh, with registered office in Frankfurt;

The main changes in the period concern for approximately Euro 57.8 million the increase in the investment in Asset Italia S.p.A. for the investment in Alpitour S.r.l. and for the investment in Limonta S.p.A. through the new vehicle Asset Italia 3 S.r.l., for Euro 38.8 million the investment in OVS S.p.A., income and shares of the result for approximately Euro 58.4 million, commented upon in note 8, and a positive change in the FVOCI reserve for approximately Euro 6 million. In addition, the TIPO/Beta transaction resulted in increases for purchases and changes to the consolidation scope for Euro 161.1 million. The changes in the associated company investments are shown in Attachment 3.

In line with the ESMA recommendations, the outbreak of the pandemic and the effects of the consequent restrictions were taken into consideration also as indicators of the potential impairment of the goodwill incorporated into the valuations through the equity method of the associated companies and the investees. Also in this case, analyses were undertaken considering the development of alternative scenarios, as suggested by the relevant ESMA recommendations. The

result of the impairment tests carried out did not identify write-downs as the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount. In addition, the fair values incorporated in the valuations of associates according to the equity method were adjusted.

(15) Financial receivables measured at amortised cost

(33) Risks and uncertainties

Management of financial risks

The Group, by nature of its activities, is exposed to various types of financial risks - in particular to the risk of changes in market prices of investments and, marginally, to the risk of interest rates. The policies adopted by the Group for the management of the financial risk are illustrated below.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk relating to the value of the current financial assets represented by bonds and financial receivables. As these investments are mainly temporary uses of liquidity which may be liquidated quickly, it was not considered necessary to adopt specific hedges.

Risk of change in the value of investments

The Group, by nature of its activities, is exposed to the risk of changes in the value of the investments.

In relation to the listed investments at the present moment there is no efficient hedging instrument of a portfolio such as those with the characteristics of the Group.

Relating to non-listed companies, the risks related:

  • (a) to the valuation of these investments, in consideration of: (i) absence in these companies of control systems similar to those required for listed companies, with the consequent unavailability of information at least equal to, under a quantitative and qualitative profile, of those available for this later; (ii) the difficulties to undertake independent verifications in the companies and, therefore to assess the completeness and accuracy of the information provided;
  • (b) the ability to impact upon the management of these investments and drive their growth, the pre-requisite for investment, based on the Group's relationships with management and shareholders and, therefore, subject to verification and the development of these relationship;

(c) the liquidity of these investments, not negotiable on regulated markets;

were not hedged through specific derivative instruments as not available. The Group attempts to minimise the risk – although within a merchant banking activity and therefore by definition risky – through a careful analysis of the companies and sectors on entry into the share capital, as well as through careful monitoring of the performance of the investee companies after entry in the share capital.

A sensitivity analysis is reported below which illustrates the effects on the balance sheet, of a hypothetical change in the fair value of the instruments held at December 31, 2021 of +/-5% compared to the comparative figures for 2020.

Sensitivity Analysis December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Investments in listed companies 642,234 676,035 709,837 773,719 814,441 855,163
Investments in non-listed companies 148,413 156,224 164,035 62,432 65,718 69,004
Investments measured at FVOCI 790,647 832,260 873,872 836,151 880,159 924,167
Effect on equity (41,613) 41,613 (44,008) 44,008

Credit risk

The Group's exposure to the credit risk depends on the specific characteristics of each client as well as the type of activities undertaken and in any case at the preparation date of the present financial statements is not considered significant.

Before undertaking an assignement careful analysis is undertaken on the credit reliability of the client.

Liquidity risk

The Group approach in the management of liquidity guarantees, where possible, that there are always sufficient funds to meet current obligations.

At December 31, 2021, the Group had in place sufficient credit lines to cover the group's financial needs.

Management of capital

The capital management policies of the Board of Directors provides for maintaining high levels of own capital in order to maintain a relationship of trust with investors, allowing for future development.

The parent company acquired treasury shares on the market on the basis of available prices.

Hierarchy of Fair Value as per IFRS 13

The classification of financial instruments at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 is determined based on the quality of the input sources used in the valuation, according to the following hierarchy:

  • level 1: determination of fair value based on prices listed ("unadjusted") in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes the instruments in which the TIP company operates directly in active markets (for example investments in listed companies, listed bond securities etc.);
  • level 2: determination of fair value based on inputs other than the listed prices included in "level 1" but which are directly or indirectly observable (for example recent or comparable prices);
  • level 3: determination of fair value based on valuation models whose input is not based on observable market data ("unobservable inputs"). These refer for example to valuations of nonlisted investments based on Discounted Cash Flow valuation methods.

In accordance with the disclosures required by IFRS 13, the types of financial instruments recorded in the financial statement at December 31, 2021 are illustrated below with indication of the accounting policies applied and, in the case of financial instruments measured at fair value, of the exposure to changes in fair value (income statement or equity), specifying also the hierarchical level of fair value attributed.

The final column of the following table shows, where applicable, the fair value at the end of the period of the financial instrument.

Key Audit Matters Auditing procedures performed in
response to key audit matters
Investments in associated companies
measured under the equity method
Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements
"Associated companies measured under the
equity method"
Investments in associated companies measured
under the equity method amount to Euro 813
million as of 31 December 2021 and represent
46% of total assets.
In accordance with the applicable financial
reporting standards, investments in associated
companies are initially recognised at cost and
subsequently measured under the equity method.
If there is an indicator of impairment, the
investments in associated companies are tested
through impairment test.
We considered the measurement of investments
in associated companies a key matter in
consideration of the materiality of the amounts,
the presence of significant estimates and the
complexity of the contractual arrangements
governing those investments.
Our audit activities included, among others,
the following procedures:
understanding and evaluation of the
effectiveness of internal controls, with
specific reference to the procedures
applied by management to classify and
measure investments in associated
companies;
analysis of contracts relating to
investments and the arrangements with
the other investors in the same entity, in
order to verify the correct qualification of
investments and consequent
appropriateness of the valuation method
adopted;
examination of accounting documents
(financial statements, trial balances,
reporting packages) of associated
companies at the valuation date, in order
to verify the consistency of the valuation
with the net equity method;
examination of the method used to
measure investment in associate whose
assets mainly include investments in
minority interests measured at fair value.
In detail our work was performed
through meetings and discussion with
management and involved, among other
things, understanding of the valuation
models adopted, discussion of the key
assumptions used and evaluation of their
reasonableness, as well as verification of
the mathematical accuracy of the
calculation models; our verifications

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE 2021 SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Activities of the Company

TIP leads an independent and diversified industrial group, focused on Italian medium-sized companies, with a particular involvement in:

    1. investments: as an active shareholder in companies (listed and non-listed) capable of achieving "excellence" in their relative fields of expertise and, with regards to the StarTIP project, in start-ups and innovative companies;
    1. investment through Itaca Equity Holding in companies that are experiencing temporary financial difficulties and need both a strategic and organisational refocus;
    1. advisory: in corporate finance operations, in particular acquisitions and sales through the division Tamburi & Associati (T&A).

(2) Accounting standards

The company was incorporated in Italy as a limited liability company and with registered office in Italy.

The company was listed in November 2005 and on December 20, 2010 Borsa Italiana S.p.A. assigned the STAR classification to TIP S.p.A. ordinary shares.

The present financial statements at December 31, 2021 were prepared in accordance with IFRS as separate financial statements as presented together with the consolidated financial statements at the same date. These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 15, 2022, who authorised their publication.

The financial statements at December 31, 2021 were prepared in accordance with the goingconcern concept and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards (hereafter "IFRS", "IAS" or international accounting standards) issued by the International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) and the relative interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and adopted by the European Commission with Regulation No. 1725/2003 and subsequent modifications, in accordance with Regulation No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament.

The financial statements in accordance with IAS 1 are comprised of the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the change in equity, the statement of cash flows and the explanatory notes, together with the Directors' Report. The financial statements were prepared in units of Euro, without decimal amounts.

The accounting policies and methods utilised for the preparation of these separate financial statements, for which reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements except for that indicated below, have not changed from those utilized for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured under the cost method adjusted for any loss in value.

The periodic test of the Investments, required by IAS 36, is made in the presence of an "Impairment indicator" which may consider that the assets have incurred a loss in value.

Associated companies are companies in which the Group exercises a significant influence on the financial and operating policies, although not having control. Significant influence is presumed when between 20% and 50% of voting rights is held in another entity.

The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the year 2020 and the statement of financial position at December 31, 2020 were utilised for comparative purposes.

During the year, no special circumstances arose requiring recourse to the exceptions allowed under IAS 1.

The preparation of the separate financial statements at December 31, 2021 requires the formulation of valuations, estimates and assumptions which impact the application of the accounting principles and the amounts of the assets, liabilities, costs and revenues recorded in the financial statements. These estimates and relative assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable. However it should be noted as these refer to estimates, the results obtained will not necessarily be the same as those represented. The estimates are used to value the provisions for risks on receivables, measurement at fair value of financial instruments, impairment tests, employee benefits and income taxes.

New accounting standards

New standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations applicable for periods subsequent to January 1, 2021 and not yet adopted by TIP

At the reporting date, the relevant bodies of the European Union had not yet concluded the process necessary for the implementation of the amendments and standards described below.

  • On January 23, 2020, the IASB published an amendment entitled "Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent". The purpose of the document is to clarify how to classify payables and other short or long-term liabilities. The amendments enter into force on January 1, 2022, although the IASB has issued an exposure draft to postpone their entry into force until January 1, 2023; however, early application is permitted.
  • On May 14, 2020 the IASB published the following amendments: Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations: the purpose of the amendments is to update the reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework in the revised version, without this entailing any changes to the provisions of IFRS 3. - Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: the purpose of the amendments is not to allow the deduction from the cost of property, plant and equipment of the amount received from the sale of goods produced during the testing phase of the relevant asset. These sales revenues and related costs will therefore be recognised to the statement of profit or loss. - Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: the amendment clarifies that in estimating the possible onerousness of a contract, all costs directly attributable to the contract must be considered. Accordingly, the assessment of whether a contract is onerous

includes not only incremental costs (such as the cost of direct material used in processing), but also all costs that the enterprise cannot avoid because it has entered into the contract (such as, for example, the share of personnel expenses and depreciation of machinery used to perform the contract). - Annual Improvements 2018-2020: the amendments were made to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples of IFRS 16 Leases. All the amendments will enter into force from January 1, 2022.

  • On March 31, 2021, the IASB published an amendment called "Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (Amendment to IFRS 16)". The document provides for the extension for one year of the May 2020 amendment that clarified the circumstance that a lessee, as a practical expedient, may assess that specific rate reductions (as a direct result of COVID-19) may not be considered as plan changes, and therefore the effects of rent reductions may be accounted for directly in the income statement on the effective date of the reduction. The new amendment is applied from April 1, 2021.
  • The IASB published on February 12, 2021 Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IFRS Practice Statement 2 "Disclosure of Accounting policies" to support companies in choosing which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
  • On February 12, 2021, the IASB published Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates", which introduces a new definition of accounting estimates and clarifies the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies, and errors. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
  • On May 7, 2021, the IASB published Amendments to "IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" which requires companies to recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities on particular transactions that, upon initial recognition, give rise to equivalent (taxable and deductible) temporary differences - e.g. transactions related to leases. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.

The impacts of these amendments on the Group consolidated financial statements are currently being assessed. Based on a preliminary review of the potential issues, direct significant impacts on TIP are not expected.

(3) Presentation

The choices adopted relating to the presentation of the financial statements is illustrated below:

  • IAS 1 requires alternatively classification based on the nature or destination of the items. The Company chose the classification by nature of income and expenses;
  • statement of financial position: in accordance with IAS 1, the assets and liabilities should be classified as current or non-current or, alternatively, according to the liquidity order. Company chose the classification criteria of current and non-current;
  • statement of changes in equity, prepared in accordance with IAS 1;

  • cash flow statement: in accordance with IAS 7 the cash flow statement reports cash flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities, based on the indirect method.

(4) Segment disclosure

TIP is a diversified, independent industrial group. Top management activity supported by the above-mentioned activities, both at marketing contact level and institutional initiatives and direct involvement in the various deals, is highly integrated. In addition, also in relation to execution activity, the activity is organised with the objective to render the "on-call" commitment more flexible of professional staff in advisory or equity activity.

In relation to this choice it is almost impossible to provide a clear representation of the separate financial economic impact of the different areas of activity, as the breakdown of the personnel costs of top management and other employees on the basis of a series of estimates related to parameters which could be subsequently superseded by the actual operational activities would result in an extremely high distortion of the level of profitability of the segments of activity.

In the present financial statements only details on the performance of the "revenues from sales and services" component is provided, related to the sole activity of advisory, excluding therefore the account "other revenues".

Euro 2021 2020
Revenue from sales and services 6,295,957 4,411,847

The variable charges for directors are in line, as always, with the pro-forma performances of the company. The options granted were exercised in their entirety by June 30, 2021, partially by way of cash settlement.

This item also includes Euro 3,528,992 deriving from the allocation according to the vesting period of the charge related to the assignment of 2,500,000 Units under the "TIP 2019 - 2021 Performance Shares Plan". In line with IFRS 2, the Units allocated were measured according to the equity settlement method.

The recoverable value is estimated based on the value in use, calculated using the following assumptions:

  • forecast of normalised perpetual cash flows of the advisory activity;
  • terminal value based on a perpetuity of 1.4%;
  • discount rate corresponding to the cost of capital ("ke unlevered") equal to 6.00%.

In April, TIP acquired 33.8% of Clubtre from the minority shareholder, coming to hold 100% of the company. The increases relating to Clubdue refer to capital contributions.

In line with the ESMA recommendations, the outbreak of the pandemic and the consequent lockdowns and restrictions were taken into consideration also as indicators of the potential impairment of the goodwill incorporated into the carrying amounts of the subsidiaries and the investees. Analyses were undertaken considering the development of alternative scenarios, as suggested by the relevant ESMA recommendations. The result of the impairment tests carried out did not identify other write-downs as the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount.

TIP also acquired a controlling interest in TIPO S.p.A., which was then merged, following the acquisition in April, with an additional investment of Euro 73.7 million (of which 1.4 million deferred to be paid within 10 days of March 31, 2023, the date set as the contractual deadline for the commitments undertaken for the sale of the iGuzzini S.p.A. investment executed in March 2019), of a further stake of 70.71% in the company, adding to the existing stake of 29.29%.

Following this transaction, TIP came to hold 100% of TIPO S.p.A.

On the same date, TIP also acquired, with an investment of Euro 29.2 million, a stake of 41.58% in the company Betaclub S.r.l., adding to the existing stake of 58.42% held by TIPO S.p.A. Following this transaction, TIP came to hold 100% of Betaclub S.r.l. either directly or indirectly.

The subsequent merger by incorporation of TIPO and Betaclub into TIP falls within the business combinations under which the participating companies are controlled by the same entity or by the same entities both before and after the combination, for which the control is not transitory, they are classified as "under common control" operations. These transactions are not governed by IFRS 3, nor by other EU-IFRS. In the absence of an accounting standard of reference, the choice of the method of accounting representation of the operation must ensure compliance with the provisions of IAS 8, i.e. the reliable and faithful representation of the operation. Furthermore, the accounting principle chosen to represent the transactions "under common control" must reflect the economic substance of the same, regardless of their legal form and for the accounting recognition of the transaction, it is also necessary to consider the current interpretations and guidelines; in particular what is governed by OPI 1 (Revised) (Assirevi Preliminary Guidelines on IFRS), relating to the "accounting treatment of business combinations of entities under common control in separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements". Therefore, the accounting treatment adopted for the accounting registration of the transaction provided that the cancellation difference between the cost of the investment and the corresponding fraction of the shareholders' equity of the merged company was allocated to the values of the assets of the merged company for values not exceeding the corresponding values resulting from the consolidated financial statements.

The investment of Clubitaly S.p.A. in Eataly S.p.A. is measured at fair value in that the absence of the necessary financial information for the application of the equity method determines the current limited exercise of significant influence;
  • for Euro 41,434,379 the associated company Elica S.p.A.;
  • for Euro 25,550,479 the associated company BE S.p.A.;

  • for Euro 500,000 the investments in the companies Palazzari & Turries Limited, with registered office in Hong Kong and in Gatti & Co Gmbh, with registered office in Frankfurt;

In line with the ESMA recommendations, the outbreak of the pandemic and the consequent restrictions were taken into consideration also as indicators of the potential impairment of the goodwill incorporated into the carrying amounts of the associated companies and the investees. Analyses were undertaken considering the development of alternative scenarios, as suggested by the relevant ESMA recommendations. The result of the impairment tests carried out did not identify write-downs as the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount.

(33) Risks and uncertainties Management of financial risks

The Company, by nature of its activities, is exposed to various types of financial risks; in particular, to the risk of changes in market prices of investments and, marginally, to the risk of interest rates.

The policies adopted by the company for the management of the financial risk are illustrated below.

Interest rate risk

The company is exposed to the interest rate risk relating to the value of the current financial assets represented by bonds and financial receivables. As these investments are mainly temporary uses of liquidity which may be liquidated quickly, it was not considered necessary to adopt specific hedges.

Risk of change in the value of investments

The company, by nature of its activities, is exposed to the risk of changes in the value of the investments.

In relation to the listed investments at the present moment there is no efficient hedging instrument of a portfolio such as those with the characteristics of the company.

Relating to non-listed companies, the risks related:

  • (a) to the valuation of these investments, in consideration of: (i) absence in these companies of control systems similar to those required for listed companies, with the consequent unavailability of information at least equal to, under a quantitative and qualitative profile, of those available for this later; (ii) the difficulties to undertake independent verifications in the companies and, therefore to assess the completeness and accuracy of the information provided;
  • (b) the ability to impact upon the management of these investments and drive their growth, the pre-requisite for investment, based on the company's relationships with management and shareholders and, therefore, subject to verification and the development of these relationship;
  • (c) the liquidity of these investments, not negotiable on regulated markets; were not hedged through specific derivative instruments as not available. The company attempts to minimise the risk – although within a merchant banking activity and therefore by

definition risky – through a careful analysis of the companies and sectors on entry into the share capital, as well as through careful monitoring of the performance of the investee companies after entry in the share capital.

A sensitivity analysis is reported below which illustrates the effects on the balance sheet, of a hypothetical change in the fair value of the instruments held at December 31, 2021 of +/-5% compared to the comparative figures for 2020.

Investments measured at FVOCI 648,832 682,981 717,130 425,338 447,724 470,110
Effect on equity (34,149) 34,149 (22,386) 22,386

Credit risk

The company's exposure to the credit risk depends on the specific characteristics of each client as well as the type of activities undertaken and in any case at the preparation date of the present financial statements is not considered significant.

Before undertaking an assignment, careful analysis is undertaken on the credit reliability of the client.

Liquidity risk

The company approach in the management of liquidity guarantees, where possible, that there are always sufficient funds to meet current obligations. At December 31, 2021, the Group had in place sufficient credit lines to cover the group's financial needs.

Management of capital

Directors provide for maintaining high levels of own capital in order to maintain a relationship of trust with investors, allowing for future development.

The company acquired treasury shares on the market in a timely manner which depends on market prices.

Hierarchy of Fair Value as per IFRS 13

The classification of financial instruments at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 is determined based on the quality of the input sources used in the valuation, according to the following hierarchy:

  • level 1: determination of fair value based on prices listed ("unadjusted") in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes the instruments in which the TIP company operates directly in active markets (for example investments in listed companies, listed bond securities etc.);
  • level 2: determination of fair value based on inputs other than the listed prices included in "level 1" but which are directly or indirectly observable (for example recent or comparable prices);
  • level 3: determination of fair value based on valuation models whose input is not based on observable market data ("unobservable inputs"). These refer for example to valuations of non-listed investments based on Discounted Cash Flow valuation methods.

In accordance with the disclosures required by IFRS 13, the types of financial instruments recorded in the financial statement at December 31, 2021 are illustrated below with indication of the accounting policies applied and, in the case of financial instruments measured at fair value, of the exposure to changes in fair value (income statement or equity), specifying also the hierarchical level of fair value attributed.

The final column of the following table shows, where applicable, the fair value at the end of the period of the financial instrument.

With reference to monitoring the suitability and effectiveness of the internal control system, also pursuant to Article 19 of Legislative Decree No. 39/2010, the Board held regular meetings with the Internal Audit Function, in order to assess the audit plan and its results, both in the implementation phase and in that analysing the checks carried out and the relative follow ups; the Board in addition held further meetings with the other corporate departments, through the participation of at least one of its members, in meetings with the Control and Risk Committee and with the Model's Supervisory Board pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.

In particular, the latest update to the 231 Model was approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting of March 15, 2022.

In particular, the Board of Statutory Auditors, within the limits of its responsibility in accordance with Art. 149 of the CFA, based on the audits carried out and information provided by the company, notes that the schedules to the company's separate and consolidated financial statements Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. as at December 31, 2021 were drawn up in compliance with the legal provisions governing their preparation and presentation. They are also compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board on the basis of the text published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The separate and consolidated financial statements are accompanied by the prescribed declarations of conformity signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Officer for Financial Reporting.

Based on the foregoing considerations providing an overview of the supervisory activities carried out in the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors has not identified specific critical issues, omissions, reprehensible facts or irregularities. Moreover, it has no observations or proposals to submit to the shareholders' meeting pursuant to Article 153 of the CFA, for matters falling within its competence and has no objections to raise to the approval of the proposed resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors to the Shareholders' Meeting.

As highlighted in the Explanatory Notes and in the Directors' Report to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the directors, in line with the ESMA recommendations, have taken into consideration the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the consequent restrictions, including as indicators of potential impairment of goodwill in the book values of the associated companies and their investees. Therefore, analyses were developed considering the creation of alternative scenarios, as suggested by the relevant ESMA recommendations, and the result of the impairment tests carried out did not identify any write-downs as the recoverable value was higher than the related book value.

In line with Consob's request in its call for attention of March 18, 2022, the directors also highlight in the Notes to the Financial Statements, as an event occurring after December 31, 2021, the current armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, and recognise how this conflict may have an impact, even to a significant extent, on the financial markets and on the financial prospects of companies, which are currently difficult to predict. The Directors have highlighted in addition that the supply-chain challenges, increasing energy prices, difficulties in finding specialised personnel, and the lack of, or rising prices, of many raw materials will need to be monitored and managed with great care. As previously indicated, also in line with the call to attention of CONSOB of March 18, 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors also acknowledges that the Company has set up organisational controls on cybersecurity and, in its Ethics Code, has established procedures concerning, inter alia, the use of the Internet and e-mail, and access to IT systems.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition, in light of the considerations outlined and within its remit, does not note any reasons for which the financial statements at December 31, 2021 should not be approved or which are contrary to the proposal of the allocation of the net profit drawn up by the Board of Directors.

Key Audit Matters
Investments measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income
("FVOCI")
Note 14 to the separate financial statements
"Investments measured at FVOCI"
The Company holds significant investments in
entities listed on regulated markets and in non-
listed entities, for an amount of Euro 683 million
as of 31 December 2021, which represents 43% of
total assets. Those investments, reported under
non-current assets, are measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI").
The fair value of investments in listed entities is
based on the share prices. For unlisted entities,
fair value is calculated using the valuation
techniques considered most appropriate by
management considering the characteristics of
the investment.
We considered the measurement of investments
at FVOCI a key matter in our audit of the
Company's separate financial statements because
of the materiality of the balance, the complexity of
the valuation models used for investments in
unlisted entities and the use of inputs that are not
always observable.
Auditing procedures performed in
response to key audit matters
Our audit activities included, among other,
the following procedures:
understanding and evaluation of the
effectiveness of internal control, with
specific reference to the procedures
applied by management to classify and
measure at FVOCI investments in listed
and unlisted entities;
analysis of contracts relating to the main
investments and of arrangements with
the other investors in the same entity, in
order to verify the correct qualification of
investments and consequent
appropriateness of the valuation method
adopted;
verification of share prices for listed
entities:
for unlisted entities, verification of fair
value through an analysis of the valuation
techniques applied by management and
of the reasonableness of inputs used and
underlying assumptions, also taking into
consideration the uncertainty related to
the pandemic context. We also verified
the mathematical accuracy of the
calculation models. Our verifications
were performed with the support of
valuation experts belonging to the PwC
network.
We have verified the adequacy of disclosures
in the notes to the financial statements.
