Starting from 1 January 2019 IFRS 16 requires companies to recognise in their accounts the rightto-use of leased assets1 and the related liability corresponding to the obligation to make lease payments. Assets and liabilities arising from leases are measured on a present value basis. Considering that 2019 is the first year of implementation of this accounting principle, first half results are commented excluding the impact of IFRS 16 in order to maintain a consistent basis of comparison with the corresponding period in 2018. The impacts of the application of the IFRS 16 have been hightlighted separately.
As defined in the IFRS 16 accounting principle published by IASB on 13 January 2016 and adopted by the European Union on 9 November 2017.
Following is the consolidated income statement for the first half of 2019 including and excluding the impacts of the new IFRS 16 accounting principle.

In the first half of 2019, revenues from the retail distribution channel increased to 437.1 million euros compared to 376.8 million euros in the respective period of 2018, representing a 13% increase at constant exchange rates, driven by a robust organic growth. Moncler's e-commerce continued to record results significantly above the channel's average.
The Group achieved Comparable Store Sales Growth4 of 9%.
The wholesale channel recorded revenues of 133.2 million euros compared to 116.7 million euros in first half of 2018, an increase of 12% at constant exchange rates, due to the development of the network of mono-brand stores and to Moncler Genius.
As already stated in previous documents, Moncler revised its store counting method of multiple stores (man/woman/enfant) located at the same address (department store/mall), in line with business management. These stores are no longer reported separately as, from a business stand point, they are managed as a single entity. To facilitate the understanding of data in the table below, the number of stores at 30 June 2019 has been reported in both counting methods.
As of 30 June 2019, Moncler's mono-brand stores distribution network consisted of 196 directly operated stores (DOS), an increase of three units compared to 31 December 2018 and 60 wholesale shop-in-shops (SiS), an increase of five units compared to December 2018.
During the second quarter of 2019, Moncler converted the Bloomingdale's store in NY, from a wholesale to a retail mono-brand store.

Calculated using the previous counting method.
In the first semester of 2019, consolidated gross margin was 437.0 million euros, equivalent to 76.6% of revenues compared to 76.0% in the same period of 2018. This improvement is mainly attributable to the growth in the retail channel. Consolidated gross margin, under application of IFRS 16, was equal to 437.2 million euros, or 76.7% of revenues.
Selling expenses were equal to 211.3 million euros, equivalent to 37.0% of revenues compared to 36.2% in the same period of 2018. This difference is based on both to the development of the retail network and to a favourable trend of the selling expenses in the first half of 2018, which normalised in the second part of the year. General and administrative expenses were equal to 72.0 million euros, equivalent to 12.6% of revenues, in line with the first half of 2018. Marketing expenses were 42.9 million euros, representing 7.5% of revenues, showing a slight increase compared to the first half of 2018 (7.3%) primarily due to a different spending timeline between the semesters.
Adjusted EBITDA6 rose 16% to 143.6 million euros, compared to 123.9 million euros in the first six months of 2018, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 25.2%, compared to 25.1% in the first half of 2018. The increase is mainly linked to the improvement in the gross margin Under application of IFRS 16 Adjusted EBITDA, was equal to 199.0 million euros, equivalent to 34.9% of revenues.
In the first semester of 2019, depreciation and amortisation were equal to 32.7 million euros, representing 5.7% of sales, an increase of 27% compared to 25.7 million euros in the first semester of 2018 (5.2% of sales). This increase is largely attributable to the investments in retail development.
Stock-based compensation includes non-cash costs related to Moncler performance shares plans and was equal to 16.3 million euros, compared to 12.5 million euros in the first semester of 2018.
EBIT was equal to 94.6 million euros, an increase of 10% compared to 85.7 million euros in the first semester of 2018, representing an EBIT margin of 16.6% (17.4% in the respective period of 2018). The reduction in the operating margin is largely attributed to a different allocation of operating costs between semesters. Last year, the development of costs substantially benefited operating margin in first half. In 2019, Moncler's management expects an evolution more aligned with historical trends. Under application of IFRS 16, EBIT was equal to 102.6 million euros, equivalent to 18.0% of revenues.
In the first half of 2019, the net financial result was negative and equal to 0.7 million euros, including 0.5 million euros of forex losses. In the same period of 2018, net financial result was negative and equal to 0.9 million euros, including 0.4 million euros of forex losses. Excluding

The tax rate was 24.0%, compared to 27.3% in the first half of 2018. The decrease is mainly due to the fiscal benefits related to the Patent Box.
Net income, Group share was 71.3 million euros, an increase of 16% compared to 61.6 million euros in the same period of 2018.

On 29 March 2019, Moncler acquired a 6% stake in the Japanese subsidiary Moncler Japan Corporation (MJC) from its partner (Yagi Tsusho Limited, YTL) for a net cash outlay of 10.9 million euros. As a result of this second tranche acquisition, Moncler now controls 66% of MJC share capital.

As of 30 June 2019, Moncler holds 5,669,803 ordinary shares, equal to 2.2% of share capital.

Moncler is forecasting a scenario of further growth in 2019, based on the following strategic guidelines.
Strengthening of the Brand. Since the beginning, Moncler's strategic positioning in the luxury goods sector has been based on clear pillars: uniqueness, consistency of its heritage and ability to innovate while remaining true to its tradition. These pillars are and will remain fundamental. Today's luxury goods consumer trends are evolving rapidly and faster than in the past. To take advantage of these changes, Moncler has opened a new chapter: Moncler Genius – One House Different Voices, which will drive the Group into its future developments.
Focus on clients. Developing a direct relationship with retail, wholesale and digital clients, being able to get them involved offering a significative experience through all touch points and anticipating their needs; these are the pillars of the relationship that Moncler wants to build across channels with its clients, especially with its local customers, with an omnichannel approach, in order to maintain and, if possible, strengthen the Group's future organic growth.
International development and consolidation of key markets. Over the years, Moncler has followed a clear strategy of international growth, while always keeping strong control of the business and a direct dialogue with its clients in all distribution channels; wholesale, retail and digital. Moncler wants to continue to selectively develop the main international markets and to consolidate its presence in its "core" markets. The Group will deliver this strategy through: the reinforcement of its retail mono-brand stores (DOS) network, the controlled expansion of its stores' average selling surface, the opening of wholesale mono-brand stores (SiS), the expansion of travel retail and the strengthening of its digital channel.
Selective expansion of product categories. The Group is working on a selective expansion into product categories that are complementary to its core business and where it has and can achieve high brand awareness and strong know-how.
Sustainable business development. The Brand continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainable and responsible long-term development, which takes into account the expectations of stakeholders focusing on shared value creation.
Information relating to related party transactions are provided in Note 10.1 of the Half-Year Consolidated Financial Statements.
There are no positions or transactions deriving from atypical and/or unusual transactions that could have a significant impact on the results and financial position of the Group and the Parent Company.
As at 30 June 2019, Moncler S.p.A. held a total of 5,669,803 treasury shares (2.2% of share capital).

With reference to the consolidated statement of financial position, a basis of presentation has been chosen which makes a distinction between current and non-current assets and liabilities, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 60 and thereafter of IAS 1.
The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared under the indirect method.
According to the provisions of IAS 24 and Consob, the next few paragraphs describe related party transactions with the Group and their impact, if significant, on the consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the measurement of certain financial instruments (i.e. derivative measured at fair value) as required by IFRS 9 and on a going concern basis.
The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro thousand, which is the functional currency of the markets where the Group mainly operates.
The preparation of Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes in conformity with IFRS requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. The actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and any variations are reflected in the consolidated income statement in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or even in subsequent periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In the event that management's estimate and judgment had a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements or in case that there is a risk of future adjustments on the amounts recognized for assets and liabilities in the period immediately after the reporting date, the following notes will include the relevant information.
The estimates pertain mainly to the following captions of the consolidated financial statements:
Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with indefinite useful life and goodwill, investments and other financial assets.
Management periodically reviews non-current assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows expected to derive from the asset or from the sale of the asset itself, at a suitable discount rate.
When the recoverable amount of a non-current asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss and the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount determined based on value-in-use calculation or its sale's value in an arm's length transaction, with reference to the most recent Group business plan.
The bad debt provision represents management's best estimate of the probable loss for unrecoverable trade receivables.
The Group manufactures and sells mainly clothing goods that are subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. Inventory impairment represents management's best estimate for losses arising from the sales of aged products, taking into consideration their sale ability through the Group's distribution channels.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes in each territory. The Group recognizes deferred tax assets when there is a reasonable expectation of realisation within a period that is consistent with management estimation and business plans.
The Group is subject to legal and tax litigations arising in the countries where it operates. Litigations are inevitably subject to risk and uncertainties surrounding the events and circumstances associated with the claims and associated with local legislation and jurisdiction. In the normal course of the business, management requests advice from the Group legal consultants and tax experts. The recognition of a provision is based on management's best estimate when an outflow of resources is probable to settle the obligation and the amount can be estimated with reliability. In those circumstances where the outflow of resources is possible or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, the contingent liabilities is disclosed in the notes to the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group recognises the asset for the right of use and the liability for the lease. The asset for the right of use is initially valued at cost, and then subsequently at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted to reflect the revaluation of the lease liability.
The Group values the lease liability at the present value of the payments due for unpaid leases at the effective date, discounting them using the interest rate as defined in note 2.1.1.
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest accrued on this liability and decreased by the payments due for the lease made and is revalued in the event of a change in the future payments due for the lease deriving from a change in the index or rate, in the event of a change in the amount that the Group expects to pay as a guarantee on the residual value or when the
Group changes its valuation with reference to the exercise or otherwise of a purchase, extension or cancellation option.
The Group has estimated the lease term of certain contracts in which it acts as a lessee and which provide for renewal options. The Group's assessment of whether or not there is a reasonable certainty of exercising the option influences the estimate of the lease term, significantly impacting the amount of the lease liabilities and assets for the right of use recognised.
On March 29 2017, the UK government, invoking the provisions of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, informed the European Council of its intention to leave the EU. The UK and the EU initially have a two-year period to reach an agreement on exit and future relations: this period may be extended if necessary. At present, the exit process, its timing and the outcome of negotiations on future agreements between the UK and the EU, are marked by significant uncertainties.
Management has assessed the consequences of these uncertainties on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in these interim consolidated financial statements. Following this assessment, the Group has not identified any indicators of impairment of its British subsidiary at 30 June 2019.
The accounting principles have been applied consistently as at and for the half-year ended June 30, 2019 and, except as set out below, are the same used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, to which refer for a detailed description.
The changes in accounting principles will also affect the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 Leasing (see paragraph 2.1.1) as of January 1, 2019. The other new principles that came into force on January 1, 2019 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
On January 13, 2016, the IASB published the new standard IFRS 16 Leases, which replaces IAS 17. This standard was endorsed by the European Union, with its publication on November 9, 2017. IFRS 16 is effective for financial statements commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The new standard eliminates the difference in the recognition of operating and finance leases, even despite elements that simplify its adoption, and introduces the concept of control in the definition of a lease. To determine whether a contract is a lease, IFRS 16 establishes that the contract must convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a given period of time. Early adoption was permitted for entities that also adopt IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
The adoption of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of Moncler Group, due to activities related to the retail network which represent the main part of its business. For the Group, the analysis of contracts falling within the scope of application of the standard concerned in particular those relating to shops, outlets, showrooms, concession contracts, warehouses, offices and cars.
Previously, the Group determined at the inception of the contract whether the contract was, or contained, a lease in accordance with IFRIC 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, as well as IAS 17 Leasing, SIC 15 Operating leasing – Incentives and SIC 27 Evaluating the substance of transactions involving the legal form of a lease.
In accordance with IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or contains it on the basis of the new definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16, the contract is, or contains, a lease if, in exchange for consideration, it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time.
In the presence of a new lease based, for example, on annual instalments on a straight-line basis, the new standard requires the recognition of a financial liability and a right of use among the assets in the statement of financial position measured as the present value of future payments. Therefore, the amount of the financial liability to be recognised in the financial statements significantly depends on the assumptions used in relation to the characteristics of each type of lease in place and any options for renewal or early termination of the contract if considered reasonably certain at the date of signing the same, as well as the discount rate applied.
The Group applied IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Therefore, the cumulative effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 was recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019, without restating comparative periods.
In the first application, the Group has adopted some practical expedients provided by Principle and, in particular, contracts with a remaining term of less than or equal to 12 months were excluded and initial costs were excluded from the valuation of the asset for the right of use at the date of initial application.
Even when fully operational, the Group decided not to apply IFRS 16 to contracts with a total term of less than or equal to 12 months and to leases of low value, which mainly refer to electronic equipment.
In the initial phase of application of IFRS 16, the Moncler Group recorded at January 1, 2019 assets for the right of use equal to Euro 470,572 thousand and lease liabilities equal to Euro 518,488 thousand. The differences between assets and liabilities were recorded under retained earnings in the amount of Euro 23,434 thousand, net of the deferred tax effect of Euro 8,622 and the reversal of the accruals and deferrals amounting to € 15,860 thousand accounted for as at December 31, 2018 in application of IAS17 for contracts falling within the scope of application of IFRS16.
In the valuation phase of the lease liabilities, the Group discounted the payments due for the lease using the marginal financing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted average rate applied was 3.67%. The rate was determined taking into account the term of the lease contracts, the currency in which they are denominated, the characteristics of the economic environment in which the contract was stipulated and the credit adjustment.
For contracts that provide for a renewal option at the end of the period that cannot be cancelled, the Group has chosen, based on historical evidence and business development plans, to consider, in addition to the period that cannot be cancelled, the period that is the subject of the renewal option, except for the existence of any business plans for the disposal of the leased assets, as well as clear valuations by which the non-exercise of the renewal option is deemed reasonable.
For contracts with renewal options that can be exercised automatically at the end of a noncancelable period, the term considered is the maximum term, which is normally longer than the time horizon covered by the Group's (three years) business plan.
For contracts with indefinite term, the Group has chosen to consider a term equal to the length of the business plan.
The reconciliation between the lease liability calculated in accordance with IFRS 16 and the commitments for operating leases that cannot be cancelled indicated in the financial statements of the previous year in accordance with IAS 17 is shown below.
| Reconciliation of lease liabilities | |
|---|---|
| (Euro/000) | |
| Committments for undiscounted operating leases applying IAS 17 as at December 31, 2018 | 608,203 |
| Exceptions to recognition pursuant to IFRS 16 | 0 |
| Other changes | 8,750 |
| Undiscounted operating lease liabilities to be recognised in the balance sheet as at January 01, 2019 | 616,953 |
| Discounting effect on operating lease liabilities | (98,465) |
| Lease Liabilities for leases applying IFRS 16 as at January 01, 2019 | 518,488 |
| Lease Liabilities for finance leases applying IAS 17 as at January 01, 2019 | 176 |
| Total Lease Liabilities applying IFRS 16 as at January 01, 2019 | 518,664 |
Commitments at 31 December 31, 2018 amounted to Euro 608 million, while payables for operating leases at January 1, 2019 (not discounted) were higher, totalling Euro 617 million. There are no cases for which the standard provides for exceptions; the only changes, equal to Euro 8.7 million, refer to the reviewed estimate of the term of some contracts and the inclusion of others following the in-depth analysis carried out in the application of IFRS 16.

As far as the scope of consolidation is concerned, no changes occurred during the first half of 2019 when compared to December 31, 2018.
We highlighted that, in the first quarter of 2019, the Group acquired, from the local partner, the second tranche (equal to 6% of total share capital) of the partner's stake in Moncler Japan Corporation, bringing the percentage of ownership to 66%. Please note that Moncler Japan Corporation is fully consolidated, same as in the previous periods, without attribution of interest to third parties, following to the accounting treatment of the agreements between the partners.
Revenues by distribution channel
Revenue per distribution channels are broken down as follows:
| (Euro/000) | 1H 2019 | % | 1H 2018 | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total revenues of which: |
570,246 | 100.0% | 493,544 | 100.0% |
| Wholesale Retail |
133,186 437,060 |
23.4% 76.6% |
116,693 376,851 |
23.6% 76.4% |
Sales are made through two main distribution channels, wholesale and retail. The retail channel pertains to stores that are directly managed by the Group (free-standing stores, concessions, ecommerce and factory outlet), while the wholesale channel pertains to stores managed by third parties that sell Moncler products either in single-brand spaces (i.e. shop-in-shop) or inside multibrand stores (both physical and online).
In the first half of 2019, the Group recorded revenues of Euro 570.2 million, an increase of 16%, compared to revenues of Euro 493.5 million in the respective period in 2018. The growth rate accelerated in the second quarter (+19%).
In the first half of 2019, revenues from the retail distribution channel increased to Euro 437.1 million compared to Euro 376.8 million in the respective period of 2018, representing a 16% increase, driven by a robust organic growth. The Group's e-commerce continued to record results significantly above the channel's average.
The wholesale channel recorded revenues of 133.2 million euros compared to 116.7 million euros in first half of 2018, an increase of 14%, due to the development of the network of monobrand stores and to Moncler Genius.
Sales are broken down by region as reported in the following table:
| Revenues by region - (Euro/000) | |||||||||

| Obsolescence provision | (113,790) | (103,648) |
| Total | 243,069 | 173,149 |
Finished products and work-in-progress in inventory in the first half of each year are impacted by seasonality; specifically, they tend to increase compared to December as the average production cost of the articles of the autumn/winter collection, in stock in June, is higher than the average production cost of the articles of the spring/summer collection, in stock in December.
In addition, the inventory as at June 30, 2019 is affected by the increase in stock of raw materials and finished products related to the upcoming seasons.
The obsolescence provision is calculated using management's best estimate based on the season needs and the inventory balance based on passed sales trends through alternative channels and future sales volumes.
Trade receivables as at June 30, 2019 amounted to Euro 80.0 million (Euro 155.0 million as at December 31, 2018) and are as follows:

The decrease in the caption prepayments and accrued income, current and non-current, is mainly due to the effect arising from the application of IFRS 16.
There are no differences between the amounts included in the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements and their fair values.
Trade payables amount to Euro 241.4 million as at June 30, 2019 (Euro 225.0 million as at December 31, 2018) and pertain to current amounts due to suppliers for goods and services. These payables are all due in the short term and do not include amounts that will be paid over 12 months.

The increase in trade payables as at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 is due to the fact that the balance as of June 30 pertains to purchases related to the fall/winter collection which has an average value higher when compared to the spring/summer collection making up the trade payable balance as of December, 31 and to the business growth.
There are no difference between the amounts included in the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements and their respective fair values.

Changes in shareholders' equity for the first half of 2019 and the comparative period are included in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
As at June 30, 2019 the subscribed share capital constitute by 257,948,524 shares was fully paid and amounted to Euro 51,589,704.80, with a nominal value of Euro 0.20 per share.
During 2019, Moncler S.p.A. bought n. 498,603 treasury shares, equal to 0.2% of the share capital, for a total amount of Euro 15.1 million. As at June 30, 2019 5,669,803 treasury shares were held, equal to 2.2% of the share capital, for a total value of Euro 185.9 million.
The legal reserve and premium reserve pertain to the parent company Moncler S.p.A..
In the first half 2019 the parent company distributed dividends to the Group Shareholders for an amount of Euro 100.8 million (Euro 70.5 million in 2018).
The increase of the share capital and the share premium reserve arises from the exercise of n. 11,000 vested options (for the same number of shares) in relation to the stock option plan approved by the shareholders' meeting of Moncler S.p.A. dated April 23, 2015 at the exercise price of Euro 16.34 per share and the free capital increase in execution of the Performance Share Plan approved in 2016 (No. 2.117.400 shares).
The change in the IFRS 2 reserve is due to the accounting treatment of the stock option and performance share plans, i.e., to the recognition of the figurative cost for the period relating to these plans and the reclassification to retained earnings of the cumulative figurative cost of the plans already closed.
The change in retained earnings mainly relates to the payment of dividends to shareholders, the treasury shares purchase and the above mentioned reclassification of the IFRS 2 reserve.
The caption FTA reserve includes the effects of the initial application of the IFRS 16.
Other reserves includes other comprehensive income comprising the translation reserve referred to foreign entities, the reserve for exchange rate risks hedging and the reserve for actuarial gains/losses. The translation reserve includes the exchange differences emerging from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign consolidated companies. The hedging reserve includes the effective portion of the net differences accumulated in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments. Changes to these reserves were as follows:

For the purposes of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", the Group's activity is part of a single operating segment referred to Moncler business.
The Moncler Group's results are influenced by various factors linked to seasonality, which are typical of the fashion and luxury industry in which the Group operates.
The Moncler Group's first trend of seasonality depends on sales typical of the wholesale distribution channel, where sales revenues are concentrated in the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. Sales are in fact concentrated in the months of January, February and March, when the third-party resellers buy the goods for the spring/summer collection, and in the months of July, August and September, when purchases are made for the fall/winter collection.
Another trend related to seasonality of the Moncler Group pertains to the invoicing of sales for the retail distribution channel which is mainly concentrated in the second half of the year and, in particular, in the last quarter of each fiscal year when customers buy products from the fall/winter collection, which is the Group's traditional strength.
As a result, the interim results may not contribute equally to the financial results achieved by the Group during the year. In addition, this seasonality combined with other factors such as the change over time of the relationship between retail and wholesale results could make it impossible to compare the results of the same interim periods of several years.
Finally, the sales trend and the dynamics of the production cycles have an impact on the net working capital and net debt, which are at their peaks during the months of September and October, while the months of November, December and January are characterized by high cash generation.
The Group's commitments pertain mostly to lease agreements related to temporary stores and pop-up stores with a term of less than one year, which therefore do not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 16.
As at June 30, 2019, the amount due for these contracts is equal to Euro 427 thousand.
As at June 30, 2019 the Group had given the following guarantees:
| Guarantees and bails given | ||
|---|---|---|
| (Euro/000) | June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 | |
| Guarantees and bails given for the benefit of: | ||
| Third parties/companies | 20,189 | 17,044 |
| Total guarantees and bails given | 20,189 | 17,044 |
Guarantees pertain mainly to lease agreements for the new stores.
As the Group operates globally, it is subject to risks which may arise during the performance of its ordinary activities. Based on information available to date, the Group believes that as of the date of the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements, the provisions set up are adequate to ensure that the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position and results of operations.
Set out below are the transactions with related parties deemed relevant for the purposes of the "Procedure with related party" adopted by the Group.
The "Procedure with related party" is available on the Company's website (www.monclergroup.com, under "Governance/Corporate documents").

Company Industries S.p.A. adhere to the Parent Company Moncler S.p.A. fiscal consolidation and VAT consolidation.
