GRUPPO TAMBURI INVESTMENT PARTNERS
2019 annual report of the tamburi investment partners group
(translation from the italian original which remains the definitive version)
We should all feel nothing but shame for the reputation that finance has earned itself in the last few years, but if you manage to guide healthy capital from successful businesses and the assets of families that wish to invest them intelligently in companies that want to grow, develop and generate value, you are doing one of the most beneficial jobs in the world.

On the basis of uniform pro forma accounting principles, the Tamburi Investment Partners Group (hereinafter the "TIP Group" or "TIP") closed 2019 with a pro-forma net profit of Euro 99.9 million, compared to Euro 84.6 million in 2018, with equity of approximately Euro 902 million, up by approximately Euro 235.5 million on Euro 664.4 million as at December 31, 2018. The Group enjoyed a very positive year in 2019.
As previously, for comparable presentation to shareholders of period results and a better reflection of the effective results, not only for operating purposes, the 2019 pro-forma income statement applying the same accounting standards for financial assets and liabilities in place at December 31, 2017 (IAS 39) is presented below. The Directors' Report therefore comments upon the pro-forma figures, while the Notes provide disclosure upon the figures calculated as per IFRS 9.

The IFRS 9 income statement does not include directly realised income and capital gains on investments and shares of Euro 47.1 million, income and capital gains realised indirectly through associated companies of Euro 33.6 million and negative adjustments to financial assets of Euro 13 million.
This performance was driven by the divestments of holdings in FCA, Ferrari, Furla, iGuzzini, Moncler and Nice, the dividends collected and the Group's share of the profits of various investees. Advisory activity recorded revenues of approximately Euro 6.8 million, compared to approximately Euro 11.1 million in 2018. Operating costs were in line with 2018. As previously, the executive directors' fees are linked to the company's performance and were calculated, as agreed, on proforma figures.
Accordingly, the pro-forma performance for the period was influenced by the completion of important initiatives, in particular the divestment of the shares obtained through the Furla convertible bond, yielding a capital gain of approximately Euro 17 million, and the sale of the equity investment in iGuzzini, through the investee TIPO, yielding a total capital gain for TIP of
approximately Euro 15.7 million, whereas the capital gains on FCA, Ferrari, Moncler and Nice totalled Euro 31.5 million. Other financial income - mainly dividends from investees and interest was approximately Euro 9 million.
On the closing of the iGuzzini sale of March 7, 2019, TIPO collected approximately Euro 45.1 million and received 1,781,739 Fagerhult shares. The withdrawal from Fimag on May 29, 2019 resulted in TIPO collecting Euro 24.2 million, including an extraordinary dividend, and the transfer of an additional 935,689 Fagerhult shares. TIPO in May subscribed its share of the capital increase approved by Fagerhult, with an additional investment of Euro 2.9 million for a total of 712,694 shares.
Other transactions, better described below – including the acquisition of control over Clubtre and the acquisition of significant influence over OVS and Elica – generated accounting effects that yielded positive contributions to the pro-forma results in 2019 of approximately Euro 36.7 million.
Among the other associated companies in addition to TIPO, IPGH contributed a share of profit of Euro 14.1 million, Roche Bobois Euro 4.3 million and Alpitour Euro 6.8 million through Asset Italia.
In 2019, negative adjustments to financial assets were made at pro-forma level of approximately Euro 13 million, mainly concerning the investment in Hugo Boss in view of the still poor share performance.
Financial markets had a very peculiar year in 2019, rallying sharply on the end of the previous year and setting new price records in almost all markets worldwide. TIP's shares also reached an all-time high.
However, given what occurred subsequently, and in particular in February 2020, with the worldwide panic triggered by the consequences of the coronavirus, our most important comments will be those that we devote to the future.
For TIP, 2019 was also a year of important investments.
On March 11, 2019, TIP acquired the entire equity investment held by Gruppo Coin S.p.A. in OVS, amounting to 40,485,898 shares accounting for 17.835% of the share capital for the price of Euro 1.85 per share and a total price of Euro 74,898,911.30. As a result of this acquisition, TIP, which had previously held an interest of approximately 4.912%, increased its total investment to 22.747%, with a total pay-out of Euro 91.6 million. The reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 1.1 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, has been booked to the pro-forma income statement and reclassified as retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOIC" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method". The OVS
investment also contributed approximately Euro 1.4 million to the result. In December, agreements were finalised with Stefano Beraldo and eight over shareholder-managers of OVS S.p.A. to sell them call options on a part of the OVS shares held by TIP. The options will be exercisable from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 at the price of Euro 1.85 per share.
In March 2019, Talent Garden completed a capital increase of Euro 23 million, in which TIP participated in the amount of Euro 5 million through StarTIP, confirming its main investor role. As a result of the transaction, the interest in Talent Garden held directly by StartTIP came to 5.9%, whereas the total implicit interest held, considering also the indirect holdings, including the interest held by Heroes and the interest held by Digital Magics, amounted to approximately 20%.
In April, StarTIP slightly increased its holding in Buzzoole. Then, in October, StarTIP subscribed for a new capital increase by Buzzoole, for an additional investment of approximately Euro 0.6 million.
In July 2019, StarTIP - together with other investors - acquired a stake in Bending Spoons S.p.A., acquiring 2.37% with an investment of Euro 5 million. Bending Spoons, Europe's leading iOS app developer, whose main market is the US, reported triple-digit revenue growth to Euro 45 million in 2018. The company's apps have been downloaded 200 million times to date, with 200,000 new downloads per day on iOS devices (the leader in Europe and among the top 10 worldwide, ahead of behemoths such as Snapchat, Adobe and Twitter).
Also in July 2019, TIP acquired 14.95% of ITH S.p.A., the parent company of Sesa S.p.A., a company listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana. TIP's investment, part of a more complex transaction of ITH, is about Euro 17 million. A put/call agreement with ITH shareholders allows for an additional increase in the stake held up to 15.75%. The option exercise period concludes in the second quarter of 2022.
Again in July 2019, TIP acquired from Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A. its total stake in Elica S.p.A. (a company listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana), comprising 7,958,203 ordinary shares representing 12.568% of the share capital, for consideration of Euro 15,916,406. The agreements reached by TIP and the seller include a commitment not to sell such shares to certain competitors of Whirlpool for 12 months from the closing date. Moreover, TIP signed a shareholder agreement with FAN S.r.l., a controlling shareholder of Elica, to establish a medium-term strategic alliance. Finally, to further seal the agreements reached, TIP agreed with Elica the acquisition of all of the treasury shares owned (equal to 2.014% of the share capital), at the same price per share agreed with Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A., with an additional investment of Euro 2.5 million. Overall, a 14.582% stake in Elica was acquired in this phase. Subsequently, Elica share purchases continued. In November, the 20% threshold of capital was exceeded. The consequent reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 14.5 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, has been booked to the pro-forma income statement and reclassified as retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOIC" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method".
On July 23, 2019, TIP acquired an additional stake of 22.95%, on a fully diluted basis, in Clubtre S.p.A. (a company holding 3.9% of Prysmian), for total additional consideration of Euro 21.2 million. Following the transaction, TIP owns 66.23% of Clubtre, on a fully diluted basis. Considering the shares directly held by TIP, the TIP Group consolidated stake in Prysmian at December 31 was 4.5%. The obtaining of control of Clubtre 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 share of the "OIC fair value reserve without reversal" concerning the investment until the transfer date similarly to as would have occurred on the divestment of the holding. After obtaining control of Clubtre, the TIP share of the increased cumulative fair value of the investee with regards to its investment in Prysmian, equal to approximately Euro 17.8 million, recognised to the FV reserve was reversed to other equity reserves according to IFRS 9 and to the pro-forma income statement under income from associated companies. This transaction also resulted in the recognition to the income statement of the differential, equal to approximately Euro 3.4 million, between the value of the holding acquired, calculated on the basis of the market price of the Prysmian shares held at the transaction date, and the acquisition cost. TIP further increased its direct holding in Prysmian in early 2020.
In October 2019, 125,000 additional Hugo Boss shares were acquired, for an additional investment of approximately Euro 4.7 million, at approximately Euro 38 per share, resulting in a decline in the average carrying amount of the equity investment.
In December 2019, in fulfilment of previous agreements, TIP acquired an approximately 12% interest in Welcome Italia S.p.A., a company specialised in integrated telecommunications and cloud computing services, with a particular focus on SMEs, for an investment of approximately Euro 5.8 million.
Treasury share purchases continued in 2019 for approximately Euro 25.5 million. Of this amount, approximately Euro 10.3 million refers to the plan announced on September 26, 2019, as part of the treasury share buy-back programme approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 30, 2019, with execution delegated completely to third parties, to acquire a maximum additional eight million treasury shares in addition to those held at the communication date, to be undertaken on the market by January 31, 2020. Following the expiry of this plan, which overall entailed the purchase of 1,988,910 ordinary shares with a total value of approximately Euro 13 million, on February 2, 2020 a new buy-back programme was launched for up to six million additional shares, also on a fully delegated basis, to be completed by August 31, 2020.
Consolidated equity as at December 31, 2019 increased by approximately Euro 235.5 million, compared to Euro 666.4 million as at December 31, 2018, following a buyback of approximately Euro 25.5 million and after distributing dividends of approximately Euro 11.5 million, also due to the value recoveries of the investments measured at fair value.
In June 2019, 7,561,067 warrants were exercised, including 892,650 warrants held by the executive directors, resulting in the issue of a similar number of new TIP shares and a capital increase, including share premium, of approximately Euro 37.8 million. In addition, the inclusion of Clubtre in the consolidation scope increased equity attributable to minority interests by approximately Euro 32 million.
In December the issue of a five-year bond with a value of Euro 300 million, an annual fixed coupon of 2.5% and an issue price of 99.421 was finalised. The bonds, which are unrated, are listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana's MOT Professional segment. Almost all of the proceeds of this bond issue were temporarily invested in listed bonds.
The TIP Group's consolidated net debt – also taking into account the bond maturing on December 5, 2024 and that maturing in early 2020 – was approximately Euro 300 million as at December 31, 2019, compared to approximately Euro 140.5 million as at December 31, 2018. The increase in the net debt follows the considerable investments finalised during the period and the change in the consolidation scope and the consequent full inclusion of the nominal Euro 99.1 million margin loan of the subsidiary Clubtre.
The main listed investees – Amplifon, BE, Elica, Ferrari, Interpump, Moncler, OVS, Prysmian and Sesa – reported robust and in some cases excellent full-year or interim 2019 results; Hugo Boss announced that it had achieved growth in the third quarter of 2019, although the results for the entire year were down slightly on the initial forecasts for 2019. The other direct and indirect investees are also currently performing well.
Although describing it now seems more incongruous than even, in the light of what is happening, financial markets had a very peculiar year in 2019, rallying sharply on the end of the previous year and setting new price records in almost all markets worldwide. TIP's shares also reached an all-time high.
The TIP share performed strongly again in 2019, up approximately 19% on December 31, 2018, with the TIP Warrant 2015-2020 rising 42%. In 2020 TIP's shares initially continued to rally, posting strong additional growth, but then, like almost all exchanges, suffered the disastrous selloff triggered by concerns of the spread of the coronavirus. The usual TIP share chart at February 21, 2020 (the volatility at the end of February and early March has deliberately been excluded) highlights the good performance of the share, up 119.2%; the total return(1) for TIP shareholders over the five years to that date was 136%, with an annual average of 27.2%.
(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.

The financial results reported below refer, where available, to the 2019 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 2019 or prior year annual accounts.

TIP shareholding at December 31, 2019: 51.00%
TXR, held 51.0% by TIP, has a very significant investment in Roche Bobois S.A.
The Roche Bobois share was admitted to trading on the B segment on the Euronext in Paris on July 9, 2018. TXR today holds a 34.84% investment in Roche Bobois.
The group operates the largest chain worldwide of high-end design furniture products, 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.
In 2019 the Roche Bobois Group's business volumes – while continuing to suffer the consequences of the "gilet jaunes" protests on its sales – reported further growth (+8.7% at like-for-like exchange rates) from Euro 257.0 million in 2018 to Euro 274.7 million in 2019, with robust growth in the final quarter of 2019 as well. The increase in sales was supported by excellent performances by directly owned stores (+10.9%), with seven new locations opened and two new franchise stores, whereas two stores considered poorly performing were nonetheless closed. Aggregate business volumes (including franchised stores) were Euro 490.2 million (up 5.6% at like-for-like exchange rates) on Euro 458.6 million in 2018.
TIP shareholding at December 31, 2019: 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.

OVS reported net sales of Euro 990.9 million in the first nine months, compared with Euro 1,010.5 in the same period of the previous year. Full-margin sales increased in the third quarter, with a lesser use of promotional leverage to the benefit of profitability. Although the market continued to contract (-5.4%), OVS' market share rose further. Adjusted EBITDA was Euro 101.1 million, confirming the significant increase in the third quarter compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 15.6 million).

In 2015 TIP subscribed a partially convertible bond of approximately Euro 8 million in one of the holdings with an investment in Octo Telematics, the principal global provider of telematic services for the insurance and automotive market.
In addition to the investments listed, TIP holds stakes in other listed and non-listed companies which in terms of amounts invested, are not considered significant.
The transactions with related parties are detailed in Note 35 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in note 32 to the notes to the separate financial statements.
TIP does not qualify as a "large group" and therefore is not required to prepare a non-financial statement pursuant to Directive 2014/95/EU, transcribed into Italian law by Legislative Decree No. 254/2016. However, corporate responsibility is particularly important to TIP and plays a very significant role in building a better workplace and an increasingly responsible community capable of protecting the environment and of developing the skills of its people according to an ethical approach so as to ensure that all areas of its endeavours prosper, thereby promoting employment and innovation and creating new enterprises focused on an approach to doing business that is healthy, sound and sustainable in the medium term and, ideally, in the long term as well.
For more than ten years, the cover pages of all documents prepared by TIP intended for external counterparties have contained the following statement:
"We should all feel nothing but shame for the reputation that finance has earned itself in the last few years, but if you manage to guide healthy capital from successful businesses and the assets of families that wish to invest them intelligently in companies that want to grow, develop and generate value, you are doing one of the most beneficial jobs in the world".
This is the TIP Group's mission. Indeed, the most significant possible impact that we can seek to have on the environment around us is to promote sound, balanced economic growth by companies through our work.
The TIP Group is thus fully aware that, in its capacity as investor and shareholder, in addition to occupying important seats on the boards of directors of major listed and unlisted Italian companies, it has an extremely important role to play in developing initiatives in support of social responsibility and sustainability.
Accordingly, the evaluation of environmental, social, ethical and governance criteria has always formed an integral part of the investment process, and this focus has meant that TIP has always invested in companies that make a positive contribution to society and the environment, while avoiding companies that adopt harmful or unsustainable business models, and has used its influence as an investor to encourage virtuous practices in the management of environmental, social, ethical and governance aspects through a constant, proactive contribution.
Given TIP's core business and its track record of over 35 years of active involvement in both family-run businesses and companies created through private-equity processes, the focal points of its sustainability efforts have been governance and ethics issues, viewed as a means of meeting the market's needs according to a market-friendly approach. Over the years, this focus has gradually been expanded to include environmental and social issues, broadly construed.
The presence of TIP's senior executives on the boards of directors of major Italian listed companies enables a continuous exchange of knowledge and practices, including at the international level. As a consequence, the portfolio already includes companies that attribute significant value to ESG issues in their MBO plans.
Driven by a conviction that an ethical approach to doing business is not only an end unto itself, but is also integral to the success of the company and the reduction of its risk, since the early 2000s in its internal and external activities the Group has focused on complying with the principles of its Code of Ethics, which identifies the shared values, principles and duties in management of the business, working standards, respect for human rights and respect for the environment by which all those who act on behalf of Group companies are required to abide.
In particular, observance of the Code of Ethics is intended to minimise risks with a social impact, including those affecting personnel, through compliance with the law, dignity, equality and integrity, relations with the public sector and supervisory authorities, relations with political parties and labour unions, relations with suppliers of goods and services, relations with customers, workplace health and safety and privacy.
Restrictions on self-dealing and accepting gifts of significant value have always been crucial.
In accordance with Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, the TIP Group has also implemented an organisation, management and control model designed to prevent the risks associated with unlawful behaviour in order to ensure a constantly higher standard of integrity and transparency in the conduct of company business and activities.
The nature of the TIP Group's business also necessitates that information processed with regard to listed and unlisted companies – be they investees, investment targets or slated for divestment – be regarded as private and confidential. The expected level of protection of information is therefore extremely high in view of the risks that information leaks may entail in economic and reputational terms, for both customers and the TIP Group itself. The TIP Group therefore devotes particular attention to safekeeping and protecting data and has implemented a programme for updating and developing its systems, infrastructure and security procedures, including in order to discharge obligations arising from the new regulations.
Given the nature of its business, the new direct initiatives promoted by the TIP Group are more focused on information regarding the economic scenario, through editorials and interviews published in major Italian and, in some cases, international media. As part of the clear sense of responsibility that TIP's top management have always felt in the educational arena, since the early Nineties it has published its views (in the "Privatisation and Corporate Governance Bulletin") on the subject of privatisation and corporate governance in Italy, when no one was yet focused on
The company's founders have also written books on corporate finance issues such as M&A operations, IPOs and the value of brands.
In 2014 TIP published the volume Asset Italia – proprietà, valori e prezzi (pagati e non) delle aziende italiane (Asset Italy – Ownership, Values and Prices (Paid and Unpaid) of Italian Companies), containing an analysis of the financial outlook for Italian entrepreneurs and progress efficiency gains in the industrial system.
In 2016 TIP published the volume Prezzi & Valori – l'Enterprise Value nell'era digitale (Prices and Values – Enterprise Value in the Digital Age), which contains very detailed and thorough analyses and studies of the valuation dynamics of enterprises in a world that has recently seen a shift in many of its main paradigms.
Turning to the initiatives implemented by the TIP Group to respect and preserve the environment, it should firstly be mentioned that the Group's business involves almost exclusive use of materials such as paper and electronic devices (PCs, printers, etc.) that focus on cost-effectiveness, respect for the environment and quality of the products offered by the best major suppliers, which are asked to ensure full compliance with the highest market standards in terms of environmental impact, traceability and working practices. In fact, the TIP Group presents two main types of activities with an environmental impact: (i) administrative and generic office activities, which involve the consumption of paper and energy, and (ii) travel by personnel to reach places of business and customers, which gives rise to CO2 emissions.
It should also be noted that:
Within this framework, the Group is not exposed to significant risks from an environmental standpoint, and in any event, it engages in behaviour designed to reduce its impact on the environment, pursuing various operating objectives such as:
The main material used in the services provided by the Group's employees is paper. Accordingly, reducing such consumption has been a priority in forging an environmental culture at the companywide level. This goal has been pursued through initiatives designed to instil sensitivity and accountability in paper use, where necessary, dematerialise processes, where possible, and launch constant usage monitoring.
In particular, the following activities were carried out:
Due to the nature of the services it provides, the Group's CO2 emissions primarily derive from its office and administrative activities and travel.
The situation for the plastic materials component is similar.
The following is a summary of the commitments in the sustainability arena by the main companies in TIP's portfolio:
Environmental protection and the fight against climate change are considered topics of fundamental importance by the Alpitour Group. Aware of the impacts it does and may have, the Alpitour Group also maintains a constant focus on legal and regulatory developments relating to the environment. In particular, it monitors the initiatives of the European Commission and working groups formed to develop the policies of the Paris Accord, entered into within the framework of COP 21 (Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC) in 2015, intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. In pursuit of this goal, the Alpitour Group has gradually developed a range of initiatives designed to minimise the environmental impacts generated by all its business activities.
Since 2015 the Alpitour Group has been an active participant in the working group "Relationships with Non-Tourism Suppliers" organised by ASTOI Confindustria (Italian Tour Operators Association). In particular, through the working group a project has been launched with a focus on cumulative environmentally friendly shipping designed to decrease the environmental impacts of shipping. Over the years, rationalising the shipping needs of all participating companies has resulted in a significant reduction in environmental impacts, and in packaging and pollutant substance emissions in particular. In short, through the ASTOI project environmental benefits were achieved by: optimising logistics, simplifying the packaging system, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions generated by transport and saving on the raw materials used to make packaging.
The Group also achieved a significant savings on paper due to the dematerialisation of
informational materials for customers (catalogues and account statements for travel services) made possible by constantly increasing use of Web channels.
Its sensitivity to environmental issues resulted in the renovation of the new building located at Via Lugaro 15 in Turin, the Group's office since 2012, in an approach capable of generating a low environmental impact by installing a photovoltaic system, external wall insulation and low transmittance glass. In addition, thanks to more prudent and informed use of the Turin, Cuneo, Milan and Rome offices, electricity consumption has been reduced by 8% over the past four years. The reduction of consumption was mainly due to: more informed use of systems by personnel due to heightened environmental sensitivity, implementation of energy efficiency initiatives, such as a new lighting system with light flow regulation and replacement of some light fixtures with LED technology and the decision to allow another company to use a floor of the building.
VoiHotel, an Alpitour Group company that provides hospitality services, is taking a variety of measures focusing on both passive and active energy efficiency, and in particular: monitoring and measuring electrical phenomena to quantify consumption, using only the 'strictly necessary' amount of energy and only when 'necessary' through automation and monitoring technologies, implementing permanent process improvements, maintaining constant performance through monitoring and maintenance service, and installing new custom devices with a low implementation costs and a swift return on investment, above all in new installations and retrofitting work on existing buildings. The active energy efficiency (AEE) plan and is a fundamental integration of passive energy measures to achieve the CO2 emission reduction targets set in the Kyoto Protocol. VOIhotels has also launched a campaign that seeks to reduce the environmental impact of the facilities in its hotel chain. The project has three main components involving, in addition to concrete actions, an environmental education activity designed to help guests understand which behaviours are the most virtuous and environmentally sustainable: (i) the use of recycled paper cups at all facilities, thereby permitting plastic cup consumption to be reduced from 2,500,000 to just 400,000; (ii) the introduction of separate waste bins in all common resort areas; and (iii) awareness-raising amongst guests through signs that encourage environmentally respectful behaviour. The Alpitour Group also supported various social initiatives such as:
(See "Sustainability" on the Amplifon corporate website)
Amplifon has identified the following focal areas with regard to sustainability to contribute to improving quality of life through responsible management of its business: Product & Service Stewardship, People Empowerment, Community Impact and Ethical Behaviour:
The Azimut Benetti Group is implementing various initiatives to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to sustainable growth.
With regard to environmental matters in particular, the Group prepares an Energy Diagnosis every five years (in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 102/2014) and analyses the various Group sites on a revolving basis. It is also implementing various initiatives designed to further reduce the environmental impact of its activities through both rational resource use and promotion of responsible behaviour from an environmental standpoint by all internal participants and external interlocutors. The concrete initiatives promoted include:
"Carbon fibre" project: a project involving the use of recycled carbon fibre.
"Fibreglass recycling" project: for recycling the fibreglass in non-structural detached pieces. Over the years, the Azimut Benetti Group has also been awarded the workplace health and safety certification in accordance with the BS OHSAS 18001 international standard. This certification represented an industry first for a multi-site group. In addition, it has also been awarded ISO 9001- 2015 quality certification for its Yachts business line.
The Azimut Benetti Group is also committed to supporting its employees and the community through the following initiatives:
(see "Sustainability" in the Investors section of BE's website)
The area of greatest impact for BE in terms of sustainability is social responsibility. The Group strives to engage its stakeholders in its business decisions to ensure that they are a fundamental element of contributing to local development. On the basis of the types of services offered and activities performed by Group companies, stakeholders have been identified as employees, investors, customers, local communities, suppliers, schools and universities. Stakeholders were given a questionnaire allowing them to identify the BE Group's priorities for each aspect of economic, social and environmental sustainability: energy consumption, environmental emissions, efficient use of materials, diversity and equal opportunities, relations and impacts on local communities, health and safety of personnel, compliance with laws and regulations, economic and financial performance, personnel training and development, ethics and integrity, data and information privacy and security, quality and customer satisfaction, capacity for innovation, research and development and attracting and retaining talent.
Among other aspects, donations and projects were completed for medical, scientific and training initiatives in the 2016-2018 period. In particular, in 2018 the BE Group contributed to a fundraising event for the non-profit Per Milano, with the specific aim of raising funds to finance initiatives in support of children suffering from disabilities and social fragility.
Partnerships are in place with major Italian universities and centres of research and innovation. In particular, the BE Group (i) participated, as founder and supporter, in the establishment of a data science university research centre and related master's degree programme. The BE Group also promoted youth employment by selecting several data scientists at the end of the master's degree programme; (ii) it promoted an Advanced Analytics course in an undergraduate Economics programme at a leading Italian university, with several BE Group executive partners acting as lecturers.
The bulk of its environmental impacts relate to mobility and transport and are attributable to commuting and travel by the Group's employees. According, a travel policy was drafted to promote sustainable mobility, requiring the use of public transport in cities, particularly where there are well developed metro rail networks, and recommending that travel to internal meetings be replaced by remote communications (e.g., video calls/conferences), while in any case favouring the use of trains over aircraft.
The Beta Group focuses closely on the issues of worker health and safety and the working environment. Although there is not yet a formal environmental policy at the Group level, all activities are inspired by the principle of protecting the environment and public health in accordance with applicable legislative requirements. Aware of the importance of these topics, the Beta Group plans its investments and activities in a way that strikes a balance between environmental needs and economic objectives.
In particular, energy diagnoses are regularly conducted at Beta Utensili production facilities, with monitoring and analysis of the use profiles of the main utilities (i.e., both electricity and natural gas) and the preparation of specific energy efficiency indicators. On the basis of these diagnoses, an energy efficiency plan was implemented, resulting in the replacement of the lighting systems in production areas with low-energy lamps and the gradual replacement of oil-immersed mediumvoltage/low-voltage transformer groups with more modern and efficient resin-insulated transformers (thus also avoiding the periodic disposal of oil containing PCBs).
Beta's production units have been issued consolidated environmental authorisations, meaning that they are fully compliant with local legislation regarding the procurement, use, purification and release of water and emissions into the atmosphere. The desire for ongoing improvement shown by the company's management resulted in the installation – where compatible with the type of airborne pollutant – at various facilities of aspiration systems equipped with HEPA filters that circulate the filtered air back into the internal environment rather than releasing the airflow into the atmosphere.
Beta Utensili is currently implementing several measures to further limit the environmental impact of its production processes. Specifically, the initiatives being pursued are:
The Beta Group has also implemented various welfare initiatives for its employees. Starting in 2009, the following initiatives began to be introduced at the locations in Sovico (MB), Castiglone D'Adda (LO) and Sulmona (AQ), in view of a constantly increasing focus on employees:
A specific platform was designed for this purpose, dedicated to managing the budget for flexible benefits (those arising from both the national bargaining agreement for the mechanical engineering sector and the voluntary conversion of the amount of the annual bonus awarded).
Employees thus have a year to access the service and choose the benefit best suited to their needs and those of their immediate families (reimbursement for medical, care and academic expenses, contributions to category pension funds, requests for various categories of vouchers, etc.).
Not least in terms of environmental sustainability, last year a series of initiatives were taken for environmental protection and the development of green policies, such as:
replacement of plastic cups with cups made from compostable materials in all warm beverage dispensers;
Chiorino's development strategy is based on three pillars: (i) respect for individuals and society; (ii) respect for the environment; and (iii) respect for the customer's expectations. These elements are adapted into an integrated, certified model for managing quality, the environment and worker health and safety in accordance with the standards UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 and UNI ISO 45001:2018.
In addition, since 2005 Chiorino S.p.A. has been certified according to the EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) scheme, a voluntary tool created by the European Community to assess and improve its environmental performance and provide interested parties with information regarding its environmental management. The priority aim is to contribute to creating sustainable economic development, emphasising the roles and responsibilities of businesses. Chiorino is the only company in its sector with this certification.
The company strives constantly to pursue the goal of constant improvement of its environmental performance and respect for the community that hosts it. In 2019 general improvements continued to be received in terms of environmental sustainability compared with previous years. The main objectives achieved are:
At Digital Magics, sustainability is viewed as a value to be shared, an integral part of the way of doing business that permeates the daily ethical approach to managing the company.
Digital Magics bases its sustainable development on supportive processes and new social connections, pooling resources and skills and experimenting with innovative solutions. Sustainability is thus viewed as a strategic competitive lever to forge a relationship of trust and transparency with stakeholders.
The constant commitment by Digital Magics to contribute to sustainable development may be summarised as follows:
fostering industrial innovation: the company object includes consultancy and the provision of industrial strategy services to innovative Italian start-ups and SMEs with a digital, technological vocation. In its 15 years of history as company, Digital Magics has provided services to over 130 countries with the characteristics described above, thus providing a significant contribution to the development of innovation in Italy.
fostering gender balance: the company has always ensured equal access, career opportunities and economic conditions for men and women. Women make up 52% of Digital Magics' employees and frequent contractors (15% are under age 30 and 15% above age 50), to whom policies that facilitate the desire for maternity in a manner compatible with a career aspiration are constantly applied.
Eataly is actively committed to supporting projects concerning issues of an environmental, social and cultural nature, making the issue of sustainability one of the Group's distinctive key messages. The main initiatives promoted are:
(see the "Social Responsibility" section of Elica's website)
Elica conceives of corporate social responsibility as a balance between four elements: business, conservation, community and culture. Social responsibility for Elica is a priority which is embodied in the rights of workers, the caring for individuals, the implementation of an inclusive industrial relations system, the contribution to sustainable development, the reduction of emissions and consumption in the production processes and proper and transparent communication.
In 2011 the Group signed the Charter for Equal Opportunity in the Workplace, promoted by Sodalitas, under the patronage of the President of the Republic, in order to contribute to the establishment of an inclusive corporate culture and policies, free from discrimination and prejudice, evaluating abilities in all their diversity.

In 2009 Elica joined the World Class Manufacturing Association, an international non-profit organization bringing together companies from various sectors involved in the introduction and the development of a single unified process of change.
(see "Sustainability" in the "About us" section of Ferrari's website)
Ferrari is particularly attentive to individuals and their passions, making them the centre of its production processes and racing competitions, starting with its employees and their families and extending to its customers and the entire community.
The main components of Ferrari's sustainability programme are: (i) innovation and technology at the service of the customer; (ii) environmental responsibility; (ii) the "Formula Uomo" programme; and (iv) community.
Innovation and technology at the service of the customer: in addition to its intense research and development activity, Ferrari creates innovation by stimulating its employees' creativity. For example, the "Pole Position Evo" project rewards the ideas submitted by individual workers to improve products, methods and the working environment, with over 9,200 submissions in 2018. A structured process is used to assess the customer's opinion, through specific indicators, of products, services, events and the overall experience with the vehicle. The results of the analysis are excellent, considering that in 2018 over 65% of vehicles were sold to those who already owned a Ferrari, and 41% of customers owned more than one model.
Environmental responsibility: Ferrari is attentive to the efficiency of its production processes and reducing the pollutant emissions of its plants and vehicles. ISO 14001 certification was awarded to the Company's Maranello and Modena facilities in 2001 and renewed in 2016. In 2007 the Company also obtained and renewed Integrated Environmental Authorisation. The buildings and facilities built in recent years, in particular, meet the highest environmental standards. The trigeneration system became operational in 2009. In 2018, in addition to hot and cold water, it supplied 122 Gwh, or 87% of the electricity required for the Maranello plant. The remaining 13% was generated from renewable sources, such as our photovoltaic systems. Over the years, the Group has launched various initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of its production processes, such as a new gas oven for the production of the main aluminium engine components. From 2007 to 2012 Ferrari achieved a 27% reduction in the CO2 emissions of its European fleet by reducing the energy requirements of its vehicles. The group intends to continue in this direction, seeking to cut the CO2 emissions of the entire line by 15% by 2020 compared with the 2014 levels. Constant research in areas such as turbo-compressors, reduced engine size, transmission techniques, electric power assisted steering and hybrid technologies combine improved performance with increasing environmental sustainability.
universities of Modena, Reggio Emilia, Bologna, Ferrara and Parma, along with Ferrari and the other manufacturers in the region known for automotive excellence. Ferrari's ties to the local community are strengthened by its two museums in Maranello and Modena, where they keep the Ferrari spirit and its founder's story alive, drawing visitors from all over the world.

In other environmental matters, in 2018 it also became of the one hundred companies that signed the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action within the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Tangible results were achieved in terms of (i) energy efficiency, (ii) reduced gas emissions, including through an attentive revision of the logistics process and (iii) water wastage.
The company is among the signatories of the 2020 Circular Fashion System Commitment promoted by the Global Fashion Agenda, bearing witness to the Group's commitment to sustainable development.
(see the "Consolidated Non-Financial Statements" in the Governance section of the Interpump Group's website)
The Interpump Group has decided to implement a Global Compliance Programme that establishes a management and organisational model for activities in line with international best practices in order to prevent misconduct relating to the environment, social issues, personnel, respect for human rights and the fight against active and passive corruption.
Some Group companies have adopted and implemented quality management systems certified compliant with the UNI EN ISO 90019 international standard; some plants have been certified UNI ISO/TS 16949:200910 compliant. In addition, some companies have adopted and implemented environmental management systems certified compliant with the UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 international standard – in some cases the process of updating the system has been launched to meet the new requirements of the 14001:2015 standard – in addition to safety management systems certified compliant with the ISO 45001 international standard.
In 2018 results were achieved in terms of the use of energy and water resource, atmospheric emissions and waste production.
(See the "Sustainability" section of the Moncler website)
The Moncler Sustainability Plan, which is designed to lead the company to more complete integration of environmental and social aspects into its way of doing business, is focused on several key priority areas:
Moncler contributes to achieving the goals published in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, to which the 193 Member States of the United Stations are signatories.
Some highlights of Moncler's 2018 sustainability results include:
In August 2019 Moncler and 22 other luxury companies signed the Fashion Pact, which seeks to achieve tangible objectives in three areas, the climate, biodiversity and the oceans. The goals pursued by the Fashion Pact are founded on the Science-Based Target initiative, which focuses on three main approaches to safeguarding the planet: stopping global warming by creating and implementing a plan of action to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in order to keep global warming from now until 2100 to less than 1.5°C; restoring biodiversity by achieving the objectives indicated by the parameters set by the SBT initiative in order to re-establish natural ecosystems and protect species; protecting the oceans by reducing the negative impact of the fashion sector on the oceans through concrete initiatives, such as a gradual reduction of disposable plastic.
(See the "Sustainability" section of the OVS website)
In order to ensure that the company's social and environmental commitment has a strategic, systemic dimension, OVS has promoted the #wecare programme, inaugurating a business model with a strong focus on impact measurement. This commitment starts with a process of raising awareness amongst internal personnel through a training programme devoted to all employees and then extends to embrace all organisational processes and production decisions. The programme encompasses all company functions and is based on the scientific framework developed through years of research by The Natural Step, within the context of the B Impact Assessment paradigm. The sustainability principles identified by The Natural Step represent the foundation of the #wecare programme and lay out a tangible, comprehensible roadmap of strategic actions for contributing to the creation of a sustainable society:
The initiatives promoted by #wecare concern products, the supply chain, individuals, stakeholders, stores and the use of natural resources. The main results achieved thus far relate to:
OVS also promoted the educational project for children in Italian primary schools Kids Creative Lab, in which it has also involved WWF Italy. In other educational initiatives, OVS has promoted the programmes "C'è di mezzo il mare" and "BullisNO – chi bulla perde" dedicated to plastics in the oceans and bullying, respectively.
In addition, OVS was also the first Italian company to participate in the European project ECAP (European Clothing Action Plan – www.ecap.eu.com), the goal of which is to establish a more sustainable model for Europe's fashion industry. The project is promoted within the framework of the European Community's programme for the environment and climate action (LIFE).
(See the "Sustainability" section of the Prysmian website)
The Prysmian Group is committed to environmental responsibility in its production processes, safeguarding the environment and managing relationships with the local communities in which it
operates, workplace safety and the personal growth of its people.
The sustainability report lays out the sustainability performances achieved in 2018 in the various areas. There were some noteworthy improvements in environmental data: waste recycling (66% vs. 50% in 2017); reuse of spools for transporting cables (>50% vs. >40% in 2017), exceeding the target of 40% set for 2020 in advance; product families covered by the calculation of CO2 emissions (60% vs. 5% in 2017, due to the update of the production database); and recyclable products purchased annually to support the circular economy (86% vs. >80% in 2017).
The Group also improved its performances with regard to certain key parameters in the social and human resources dimensions, and in the following areas in particular: key positions filled through internal promotions (90% vs. >80% in 2017), exceeding in advance the target of >80% set for 2020; and women in executive positions (10.8% vs. 6.4% in 2017).
Collaboration with international NGOs continued, involving projects benefiting the development of local communities through cable donations, such as the construction of photovoltaic systems in collaboration with Electriciens sans frontières in Angola to put an end to the serious situation of insufficient power supply to a hospital and in Palermo, Italy, to provide power to a building in which approximately one hundred disadvantaged residents live. In addition, it donated approximately 20,000 metres of various types of cables to the National Science and Technology Museum of Milan to run cable to the New Leonardo Galleries.
Thanks to the positive performances achieved during the year in the three areas social, environmental and business, the Group was able to confirm its presence in the main international sustainability indices and assessments, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the CDP Carbon Disclosure Project.
(see the "Non-financial reporting" page of the Roche Bobois Group's website)
In 2006 it embarked on an environmental sustainability process affecting all stakeholders in the value chain. The main initiatives implemented in the area of social responsibility are:
(see the "Welfare & Social Responsibility" section of Sesa's website)
Sesa pursues growth founded on the skills, motivation and dedication of the Group's personnel. Actions have been taken and investments made in strengthening the company culture and the Group's identity by celebrating diversity, competency and the spirit of integration.
The Group seeks to attract and retain the best personnel in the IT sector and to constantly improve the wellbeing and work-life balance of its employees through increasingly extensive hiring opportunities, sound professional growth processes, training plans, management and development of human capital and an advanced welfare plan that is constantly being expanded.
Sustainable growth also means contributing to the development of the social fabric and ecosystems of which the Group is a part. Each year tangible measures involving support and investment in the community have been increased in accordance with the growth process.
The Group seeks to make sustainable use of energy vectors to safeguard the environment and is committed to promoting rational resource use in its activity and searching for innovative solutions capable of ensuring constant energy savings. It seeks to apply environmentally friendly technologies and to engage employees and suppliers in this process.
The core business of Talent Garden S.p.A. is connected to the achievement of several of the Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs") agreed upon by the United Nations in 2015, also known as the 2030 Agenda.
In particular, the company – through co-working services, education and organisation of events focusing on companies, individuals and professionals involved in technological innovation at the European level – contributes to the achievement of the following goals:
▪ high-quality education: the company promotes high-quality, inclusive education by offering short vertical training courses on technology targeting both young people ages 18 to 29 and companies with regard to upskilling and reskilling processes;
The company has adopted a Code of Conduct that lays out the Group's responsibilities towards its stakeholders. These rules apply broadly to all work contexts and may be broken down as follows: work (equal opportunity, harassment and abuse, diversity and inclusion, drugs and alcohol and working environment), company assets (intellectual property rights, brands and company equipment); privacy, confidentiality, accounting integrity, conflicts of interest, security and the environment;
Obviously, the global Covid-19 outbreak has been the most significant event by far after December 31. As is common knowledge, the consequences in Italy have been much more severe than in many other countries. It is as unforeseeable as it is insidious and it creates an extremely high level of uncertainty regarding the future of the global economy at a time when growth was already slowing. TIP reacted immediately, empowering its employees by cancelling all in-person meeting and severely limiting access to offices. It is also in constant contact and discussion with the senior executives of its investees to monitor the consequences of the epidemic on the various companies.
At the level of current operations, the funds raised through the bond were primarily invested in government bonds and securities in euro and dollars, in addition to several million euros in short ETFs; purchases of Prysmian, OVS and FCA shares continued. On March 9, the Prysmian shares held directly by TIP were sold to the subsidiary Clubtre, with - as counterpart - a shareholder loan. For information regarding treasury shares, see above.
A very complicated year awaits us in 2020. The economic consequences of the expansion of the virus are completely unpredictable. As a result, all analysis, aside from seeking to protect employees and company health as fully as possible, should be suspended.
TIP has three great strengths to bring to bear on this period:
its portfolio of equity investments is objectively composed of leading global, European and Italian firms, and thus as in other crises positioning will be fundamental and the effects at both the strategic and operational level should be more limited than for weaker companies;
At a time like that which lies ahead, the above three factors will be very important to supporting and developing the business. Given the nature of the activities of TIP, as always it is not easy to forecast the performance for the current year. Results will depend a great deal on market dynamics, the length of the ongoing paralysis in Italy and other countries, and also in part on the opportunities that present themselves in the future. The 2020 budgets of investees and potential target companies are all still suspended indefinitely, and this is even more so in the case of long-term plans. Accordingly, it would be rash, to say the least, to imagine scenarios or formulate specific plans. Certainly, it is not our way.
During the year, the Company did not carry out any research and development activity.
In relation to the principal Group risks and uncertainties, reference should be made to Note 32 of the consolidated financial statements.
The treasury shares in portfolio at December 31, 2019 totalled 9,756,510, equal to 5.672% of the share capital. At March 11, 2020, treasury shares in portfolio totalled 11,511,055, equal to 6.692% of the share capital.
Dear Shareholders,
we invite you to approve the 2019 statutory financial statements of Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A., as presented. Following the adoption of IFRS 9, the financial statements present a profit of Euro 4,397,455, that does not reflect the income and capital gains of over Euro 37.5 million, which did not pass through the income statement, but were transferred directly through equity to retained earnings. Considering the foregoing and that the retained earnings reserve in the separate financial statements amounts to over Euro 186 million, we propose that the profit for the year be allocated and that part of the retained earnings reserve be used as follows: net profit:
| - to the legal reserve |
Euro | 786,351 |
|---|---|---|
| - to retained earnings |
Euro | 3,611,104 |
| from the retained earnings reserve | ||
| - to ordinary shares, a gross dividend of Euro 0.09 |
||
| per share for a total of (*) | Euro 14,444,251.11 |
(*) Net of the 11,511,055 treasury shares held by the Company or any other shares held by the Company at the dividend coupon date, recording the amount necessary in the share premium reserve.
On behalf of the Board of Directors The Chairman Giovanni Tamburi

(1) The 2019 income statement (as well as the ones at 31 December 2018) has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 9 and therefore does not include the income and direct capital gains in the period on the sale of equity investments of Euro 47.1 million, and regarding associated companies, of Euro 33.6 million, in addition to write-downs of Euro 13 million. The Directors' Report (page 4) presents the pro-forma income statement at like-for-like accounting standards related to financial assets and liabilities (IAS 39) adopted at December 31, 2017, reporting a profit of approximately Euro 99.3 million.

The TIP Group is an independent investment/merchant bank focused on Italian medium-sized companies, with a particular involvement in:
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 at December 31, 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2020, who authorised their publication.
The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019 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 comprehensive income statement, 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 and methods utilised for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements have changed from those utilised for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly due to application from January 1, 2019 of IFRS 16, as outlined in detail in the paragraph "new accounting standards".
The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the year 2018 and the statement of financial position at December 31, 2018 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, 2019 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.
in calculating the cost for the provision of current labour and the net financial expenses for the period subsequent to the event.
The application of the amendments to the existing accounting standards reported above do not have a significant impact on the Group consolidated financial statements. The IFRS 16 impacts are outlined below.
As illustrated previously, the TIP Group adopted IFRS 16 for the preparation of the financial statements for periods which commence from January 1, 2019 and thereafter. This resulted in a change in the accounting policies and criteria used from those applied for the preparation of the financial statements at December 31, 2018.
In accordance with that required for the transition to IFRS 16, the company adopted the modified retrospective approach which does not require the reclassification of the comparative period. It also adopted the option to recognise usage right assets at a value equal to the initial recognition value of liabilities for leasing, calculated as the present value of the relative future payments discounted at the marginal debt rate. Therefore, the 2018 comparative figures have not been adjusted and there were no impacts on the January 1, 2019 shareholders' equity.
The adoption of IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019 had a slight impact on the consolidated financial statements, with the recognition at January 1, 2019 of right-of-use assets and liabilities for leasing of Euro 1,471,407, while in the year lease charges for the period were not recognised to the income statement, of Euro 318,463, while the amortisation of the usage value of leasing contracts was recognised for Euro 295,665, in addition to the financial charges relating to the liabilities for leasing of Euro 22,071. The account increased in the year following the signing of lease contract extensions.
| Euro | Right-of-use |

| Value at January 1, 2019 | 1,471,407 |

| Decreases | 0 |
| Decrease depreciation provision | 0 |
| Amortisation & Depreciation | (295,665) |
| Net value at December 31, 2019 | 2,896,989 |
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, financial liabilities were also recognised at January 1, 2019 of Euro 1,471,407. The account increased in the year, net of payments made and interest matured, following the signing of lease contract extensions.
financial position of insurers. This standard will be adopted from January 1, 2021, except for any deferments following endorsement of the standard by the European Union, not yet implemented at the present consolidated reporting date. Advance application of this standard is permitted.
On the basis of the analyses conducted, significant effects are not expected from the introduction of the standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
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, 2019, the consolidation scope included the companies Clubdue S.r.l., Clubtre S.p.A., StarTIP S.r.l. and TXR S.r.l..
| Registered | Number of | Number of shares | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Office | Share capital | shares | held | % held | |
| Clubdue S.r.l. | Milan | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 100% | |
| Clubtre S.p.A. (1) | Milan | 120,000 | 120,000 | 45,207 | 37.67% | |
| StarTIP S.r.l. | Milan | 50,000 | 50,000 | 50,000 | 100% | |
| TXR S.r.l. | Milan | 100,000 | 100,000 | 51,000 | 51.00% |
The details of the subsidiaries were as follows:
(1) Clubtre holds 51,738 treasury shares and consequently the fully diluted holding is 66.23%.
The company Clubtre S.p.A. entered the consolidation scope following the acquisition in July, with an additional investment of Euro 21.2 million (of which 2,822,292 to sub-enter shareholder loans), of a further stake of 13.05% in the company, adding to the existing stake of 24.62%. Following this transaction, TIP therefore holds 37.67% of Clubtre's shares, representing 66.23% of the shares which may exercise voting rights at Clubtre, net of the treasury shares. The obtaining of control of Clubtre 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 share of the "OIC reserve without reversal" concerning the investment until the transfer date similarly to as would have occurred on the divestment of the holding. Having attained control, the TIP share of the increased cumulative fair value of the investee with regards to its investment in Prysmian, equal to approximately Euro 17.8 million, recognised to the FV reserve was reversed to other equity reserves according to IFRS 9. This transaction also resulted in the recognition to the income statement of income equal to the differential, of approximately Euro 3.4 million, between the value of the holding acquired, calculated on the basis of the market price of the Prysmian shares held at the transaction date, and the acquisition cost.
The assets and liabilities assumed in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the transaction are as follows.

| A | Investments measured at FVOCI (Prysmian) | 196,106,739 |

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 with 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.
The most significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019 are disclosed below.
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:
| - | 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.
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 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.
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.
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. 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.
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).
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.
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.
The derivative instruments not embedded in other financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
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.
Receivables are recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. They are adjustments for sums considered uncollectible.
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 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.
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.
On the exercise of the 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.
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 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:
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The choices adopted by the Group relating to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements are illustrated below:
The company undertakes investment banking and merchant banking activities. Top management activity in the above-mentioned areas, both at marketing contact level and institutional initiatives and direct involvement in the various deals, is highly integrated. In addition, execution activity is also organised with the objective to render the "on-call" commitment of advisory or equity professional staff more flexible.
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, 2019 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 | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from sales and services | 6,783,583 | 9,986,371 |
| Total | 6,783,583 | 9,986,371 |

In December the issue of a five-year bond with a value of Euro 300 million, an annual fixed coupon of 2.5% and an issue price of 99.421 was finalised. The bonds, which are unrated, are listed on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Borsa Italiana's MOT Professional segment. The proceeds of this bond issue were temporarily invested in listed bonds.
"Interest on bonds" refers for Euro 5,142,900 to the pre-existing 2014-2020 TIP Bond of Euro 100 million and for Euro 553,174 the new 2019-2024 TIP Bond of Euro 300 million, calculated according to the amortised cost method, applying the effective interest rate.

The changes in the investments measured at FVOCI are shown in Attachment 2.
Following the entry into the consolidation scope of Clubtre S.p.A., the account increased by Euro 196,106,739, relating to the market value of the Prysmian shares held by Clubtre at the date on which TIP obtained control.
The TIP Group holds at December 31, 2019 investments (Digital Magics, Eataly, Buzzoole, Chiorino) not classified as associated companies, although in the presence of a holding above 20% and some indicators which would be associated with significant influence, as 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.
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% | 0.0% |
| Valuation models based on market inputs (level 2) | 0.0% | 68.3% |
| Other valuation techniques (level 3) | 0.0% | 31.4% |
| Purchase cost | 0.0% | 0.3% |
| Total | 100.0% | 100.0% |
On March 11, 2019 TIP acquired the entire equity investment held by Gruppo Coin S.p.A. (a company indirectly controlled by BC Partners funds and in which interests were held by the management of OVS S.p.A.) in OVS, amounting to 40,485,898 shares accounting for 17.835% of the share capital for the price of Euro 1.85 per share and a total price of Euro 74,898,911.30. As a result of this acquisition, TIP, which had previously held an interest of approximately 4.912%, increased its total investment to 22.747%, with a total pay-out of Euro 91.6 million. The reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment previously held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 1.1 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, has been recognised to retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOCI" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method" for an amount of Euro 92,660,939. At December 31, 2019, the value of the investment, considering the effects of recognition under the equity method, was Euro 94,118,727.
The company Clubtre S.p.A. was reclassified from associated companies to subsidiaries following the acquisition in July of an additional holding of 13.05% in the company, further to the existing 24.62% stake. Following this transaction, TIP holds 37.67% of Clubtre's shares, representing 66.23% of the shares which may exercise voting rights at Clubtre, net of the treasury shares. The obtaining of control 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 share of the OIC reserve without reversal concerning the investment until the transfer date similarly to as would have occurred on the divestment of the holding. Therefore, having ascertained the gaining of control, the TIP share of the increased cumulative fair value of the investee with regards to its investment in Prysmian, equal to approximately Euro 17.8 million, recognised to the FV reserve was reversed to other equity reserves according to IFRS 9. This transaction also led to the recognition to the "other income" account of the income statement of the differential of approximately Euro 3.4 million, between the value of the holding acquired, based on the market value of the assets (calculated according to the stock market price at the transaction date) and liabilities held and the acquisition price previously agreed among the parties.
Also in July 2019, TIP acquired from Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A. its total stake in Elica S.p.A. (a company listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana), comprising 7,958,203 ordinary shares representing 12.568% of the share capital, for consideration of Euro 15,916,406. The agreements reached by TIP and the seller include a commitment not to sell such shares to certain competitors of Whirlpool for 12 months from the closing date. Moreover, TIP signed a shareholder agreement with FAN S.r.l., a controlling shareholder of Elica, to establish a medium-term strategic alliance. Finally, to further seal the agreements reached, TIP agreed with Elica the acquisition of all of the treasury shares owned (equal to 2.014% of the share capital), at the same price per share agreed with Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A., with an additional investment of Euro 2.5 million. Overall, a 14.582% stake in Elica was acquired in this phase. Subsequently, Elica share purchases continued. In November, the 20% threshold of capital was exceeded. The consequent reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 14.5 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, was reclassified as retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment
previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOIC" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method".
The other investments in associated companies therefore concern:

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.
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.
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;

| response to key audit matters | |
| Investments in associated companies | Our audit activities included the following |
| measured under the equity method | procedures: |
| Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements "Associated companies measured under the equity method" Investments in associated companies measured under the equity method amount to Euro 511.453 thousand as of 31 December 2019 and represent 34% of total asset. In accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards, investments in associated companies are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured under the equity method. |
· understanding and evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control, 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; | |
| 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. |
· 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 investments in associates whose assets mainly include investments in minority interests measured at fair value. In detail, where the investments held were in unlisted entities, 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 were performed with the support of valuation experts belonging to the PwC network; |
|
| · verification of the absence of possible impairment indicators referred to individual investments. |

TIP is an independent investment/merchant bank focused principally on Italian medium-sized companies, with a particular involvement in:
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, 2019 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 11, 2020, who authorised their publication.
The financial statements at December 31, 2019 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 IAS1 are comprised of the income statement, the comprehensive income statement, the statement of financial position, the change in shareholders' 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 where indicated herein, have changed from those utilised for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly due to application from January 1, 2019 of IFRS 16, as outlined in detail in the paragraph "new accounting standards". 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 comprehensive income statement and the statement of cash flows for the year 2018 and the statement of financial position at December 31, 2018 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, 2019 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.
The application of the amendments to the existing accounting standards reported above do not have a significant impact on the Group consolidated financial statements. The IFRS 16 impacts are outlined below.
As illustrated previously, the TIP Group adopted IFRS 16 for the preparation of the financial statements for periods which commence from January 1, 2019 and thereafter. This resulted in a change in the accounting policies and criteria used from those applied for the preparation of the financial statements at December 31, 2018.
In accordance with that required for the transition to IFRS 16, the company adopted the modified retrospective approach which does not require the reclassification of the comparative period. It also adopted the option to recognise usage right assets at a value equal to the initial recognition value of liabilities for leasing, calculated as the present value of the relative future payments discounted at the marginal debt rate. Therefore, the 2018 comparative figures have not been adjusted and there were no impacts on the January 1, 2019 shareholders' equity.
The adoption of IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019 had a slight impact on the consolidated financial statements, with the recognition at January 1, 2019 of right-of-use assets and liabilities for leasing of Euro 1,471,407, while in the year lease charges for the period were not recognised to the income statement, of Euro 318,463, while the amortisation of the usage value of leasing contracts was recognised for Euro 295,665, in addition to the financial charges relating to the liabilities for leasing of Euro 22,071. The account increased in the year following the signing of lease contract extensions.
| Euro | Right-of-use |
|---|---|
| Value at January 1, 2019 | 1,471,407 |
| Increases | 1,721,247 |
| Decreases | 0 |
| Decrease depreciation provision | 0 |
| Depreciation | (295,665) |
| Net value at December 31, 2019 | 2,896,989 |
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, financial liabilities were also recognised at January 1, 2019 of Euro 1,471,407. The account increased in the year, net of payments made and interest matured, following the signing of lease contract extensions.
Union, not yet implemented at the date of these consolidated financial statements. Early application is however permitted.
On the basis of the analyses conducted, significant effects are not expected from the introduction of the standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
The choices adopted relating to the presentation of the financial statements is illustrated below:
The company undertakes investment banking and merchant banking activities. Top management activity in the above-mentioned areas, both at marketing contact level and institutional initiatives and direct involvement in the various deals, is highly integrated. In addition, execution activity is also organised with the objective to render the "on-call" commitment of advisory or equity professional staff more flexible.
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 | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from sales and services | 6,853,118 | 10,001,371 |
| Total | 6,853,118 | 10,001,371 |
Revenues are highly dependent on the timing of success fee maturation, whose distribution varies throughout the year. 2018 revenues included approximately Euro 4 million of variable income from an associated company.
The account comprises:
| Euro | 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Services | 1,789,249 | 1,606,427 |
| 2. | Rent, leasing and similar costs | 0 | 360,743 |
| 3. | Other charges | 1,107,095 | 270,901 |
| Total | 2,896,344 | 2,238,071 |
Service costs mainly relate to general and commercial expenses, banking commissions on the sale of listed shares and professional and legal consultancy. They include Euro 91,182 of audit fees and Euro 74,000 of emoluments of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Board. Other charges principally include non-deductible VAT and other tax charges.
The 2018 costs included rental charges that from 2019, following the adoption of IFRS 16, are no longer recorded as rent, leasing and similar costs.
The account comprises:
| Euro | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Wages and salaries | 1,396,320 | 1,050,311 |

| Post-employment benefits | 69,504 | 64,221 |
| Total | 20,267,360 | 18,385,432 |
The account "Wages and salaries" and "Directors' fees" include fixed and variable remuneration matured in the period. A pro-forma calculation was applied to the variable remuneration of the executive directors, as approved by the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Remuneration Committee and with the opinion of Board of Statutory Auditors.
The cost includes, in addition, Euro 212,706 of charges relating to the assignment of 2,500,000 Units under the "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.

This relates to the investment in the subsidiaries Clubdue S.r.l., Clubtre S.p.A; StarTIP S.r.l. and TXR S.r.l.
The details of the subsidiaries were as follows:

| Company | Office | Share capital | shares | held | % held |
| Clubdue S.r.l. | Milan | 10,000 | 10,000 | 10,000 | 100% |

| TXR S.r.l. | Milan | 100,000 | 100,000 | 51,000 | 51.00% |
(1) Clubtre holds 51,738 treasury shares and consequently the fully diluted holding is 66.23%.
The company Clubtre S.p.A. became a subsidiary following the acquisition in July, with an additional investment of Euro 21.2 million (of which 2,822,292 to sub-enter shareholder loans), of a further stake of 13.05% in the company, adding to the existing stake of 24.62%. Following this transaction, TIP therefore holds 37.67% of Clubtre's shares, representing 66.23% of the shares which may exercise voting rights at Clubtre, net of the treasury shares.
The company Clubdue S.r.l. was incorporated in 2017 and is currently not operational.
The movements in the year were as follows:
| Increases/ | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Euro | Dec. 31, 2018 Reclassifications | (decreases) | Write-downs | Dec. 31, 2019 | |
| Clubdue S.r.l. | 10,000 | 0 | 30,000 | (29,310) | 10,690 |

The increases relating to Clubdue and StarTIP refer to capital contributions. The write-down of Clubdue aligns the book value with the corresponding value of equity net of the subsidiary's accumulated losses.
On March 11, 2019 TIP acquired the entire equity investment held by Gruppo Coin S.p.A. (a
company indirectly controlled by BC Partners funds and in which interests were held by the management of OVS S.p.A.) in OVS, amounting to 40,485,898 shares accounting for 17.835% of the share capital for the price of Euro 1.85 per share and a total price of Euro 74,898,911.30. As a result of this acquisition, TIP, which had previously held an interest of approximately 4.912%, increased its total investment to 22.747%, with a total pay-out of Euro 91.6 million. The reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment previously held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 1.1 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, has been recognised to retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOCI" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method" for an amount of Euro 92,660,939.
The company Clubtre S.p.A. was reclassified from associated companies to subsidiaries following the acquisition in July of an additional holding of 13.05% in the company, further to the existing 24.62% stake. Following this transaction, TIP holds 37.67% of Clubtre's shares, representing 66.23% of the shares which may exercise voting rights at Clubtre, net of the treasury shares.
Also in July 2019, TIP acquired from Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A. its total stake in Elica S.p.A. (a company listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana), comprising 7,958,203 ordinary shares representing 12.568% of the share capital, for consideration of Euro 15,916,406. The agreements reached by TIP and the seller include a commitment not to sell such shares to certain competitors of Whirlpool for 12 months from the closing date. Moreover, TIP signed a shareholder agreement with FAN S.r.l., a controlling shareholder of Elica, to establish a medium-term strategic alliance. Finally, to further seal the agreements reached, TIP agreed with Elica the acquisition of all of the treasury shares owned (equal to 2.014% of the share capital), at the same price per share agreed with Whirlpool EMEA S.p.A., with an additional investment of Euro 2.5 million. Overall, a 14.582% stake in Elica was acquired in this phase. Subsequently, Elica share purchases continued. In November, the 20% threshold of capital was exceeded. The consequent reclassification of the investment to associated companies resulted in the recording of the increase in the fair value recognised on the portion of the investment held until the acquisition date in a similar manner to that which would be applied for the holding's divestment. Therefore, having ascertained significant influence, the cumulative fair value increase of approximately Euro 14.5 million, recognised to the OCI reserve, was reclassified as retained earnings under equity as per IFRS 9; the investment previously classified to "Investments valued at FVOCI" was reversed and was recognised to "associated companies measured under the equity method".
The investments in associated companies refer to:
for Euro 86,197,441 the company Asset Italia S.p.A., investment holding which gives shareholders the opportunity to choose for each proposal their individual investments. The equity and results relating to Asset Italia 1 S.r.l., vehicle company for the investment in Alpitour, refer for 99% to the tracking shares issued in favour of the shareholders which subscribed to the initiative and for 1% to Asset Italia, or rather to all the ordinary shares. The increase for purchases concerns the subscription to the share capital increase of Asset Italia for an additional investment in Alpitour through Asset Italia 1, undertaken in July. Following this investment, TIP's share of the shares tracking the investment in Alpitour at December 31, 2019 was equal to 35.81%. Similarly, the equity and results relating to Asset Italia 2 S.r.l., vehicle company for the investment in Ampliter, refer for 99% to the tracking shares issued in 2018 in favour of the shareholders which subscribed to the initiative and for 1% to Asset Italia, or rather to all the ordinary shares. TIP's share of the shares tracking the investment in Ampliter is equal to 20%.
for Euro 92,712,960 to the investment in OVS S.p.A. TIP held a stake in OVS at December 31, 2018 classified under investments valued at FVOCI. On acquisition the investment was reclassified and recorded under associated companies at fair value at that date;
For the changes in the investments in associated companies, reference should be made to attachment 4.
