Dear Shareholders,
2022 was a year of great changes and profound evolution for the Landi Renzo Group.
Despite a difficult economic environment, especially caused by geopolitical tensions and the continuing effects of the pandemic on the market, the Group continued its strategy aimed at consolidating its presence in its reference sectors and forging new paths in segments with high growth potential.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the risk of an energy shortage have increasingly placed the energy transition at the centre of government agendas worldwide, driving awareness of the importance of hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas as fundamental energy sources for reaching decarbonisation targets.
In this scenario, the Group strengthened its offer of innovative products for biomethane and hydrogen solutions, moving forward with the process of integrating the subsidiaries Metatron and SAFE&CEC in order to enact those potential synergies that were still unexpressed when the former was acquired and the latter was consolidated.
Furthermore, in 2022 the significant attention placed on activities linked to the innovation of the industry in which the company operates was confirmed, with the continuing development of solutions for the use of hydrogen as an alternative form of power. Thanks to this approach, the Landi Renzo Group expanded its range of applications and technologies, particularly in the Heavy Duty and off-road segments, in the area of Mobility, and added to its range of solutions in the infrastructure sector by acquiring Idro Meccanica S.r.l.
These initiatives represented solid bases for the new 2022-2025 business plan approved last year, which forecasts Group growth throughout the biomethane, natural gas and hydrogen value chains, from compression to distribution, and a significant drive for its implementation will be provided by the share capital increase finalised in the second half of 2022.
The capital strengthening in the second half of the year, also thanks to the entry of the Itaca fund into the shareholding structure that controls the Group, constitutes a further factor of consolidation and growth. Besides being a prestigious financial partner, Itaca is also a point of reference for the Group's future growth. In this sense, the Landi Renzo S.p.A. share price performance in the second half of the year bore witness to the market's positive assessment of the transaction.

The international markets continue to represent the predominant component of the Group's business; in this context, we continued to focus our attention, in the Green Transportation arena as well as in Clean Tech Solutions, on the areas that are still offering the best growth opportunities in the medium term, especially in North America, China and India.
The year that just ended was characterised by a range of challenges: the complexities deriving from rising gas prices and strong limitations on trade relations with Russia and those caused by the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in China - factors that had a significant impact on the sector on which the Group is basing its current business model - were joined by the effects of the cyber attack suffered in the fourth quarter and the relative consequences in terms of business continuity.
These events, due to their unpredictable nature, impacted the 2022 results, which did not meet expectations.
However, the Group managed to react with its "diversification through integration" strategy, adopted with its joint presence in the Green Transportation and Clean Tech Solutions sectors, confirming its robust resilience in the face of the external factors mentioned above.
In the second half of the year, the management team was also strengthened, with qualified entries in the Operations, Finance, Human Resources and Strategic Marketing areas, which downstream will trigger an additional reinforcement of all Group areas, creating the conditions to take advantage of significant opportunities we are seeing in the bio-fuels and hydrogen segments.
The significant steps taken in 2022 towards greater consolidation, alongside the positive trends we are observing on the demand side in several geographical areas for both of our business segments, make us confident that in 2023 the Group will be able to further accelerate its path of growth and strengthen its role as a key global player in the energy transition process.

(1) The data does not include the recognition of non-recurring costs. As EBITDA is not identified as an accounting measure under IAS/IFRS, it may be calculated in different manners. EBITDA is a measure used by the company's management to monitor and evaluate its operating performance. Management believes that EBITDA is an important parameter to measure the company's operating performance, as it is not influenced by the effects of the different criteria for determining the tax base, the amount and characteristics of invested capital and relative amortisation and depreciation policies. The company's way of calculating EBITDA may not be the same as the methods adopted by other companies/groups, and therefore its value may not be comparable with the EBITDA calculated by others.
(2) This is calculated as the difference between Trade Receivables, Inventories, Contract Work in Progress, Other Current Assets and Trade Payables, Tax liabilities, Other Current Liabilities (net of payables for the purchase of equity investments).
(3) These are calculated by totalling Deferred Tax Liabilities, Defined Benefit Plans for employees and Provisions for Risks and Charges.
(4) The net financial position is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 as amended (as most recently amended on 5 May 2021, to adopt the new ESMA recommendations 32-232-1138 of 4 March 2021).
(5) Not including the effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and the payable for the acquisition of equity investments.
(6) In order to calculate the indicator in question at 31 December 2021, following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as of May 2021 and the Metatron Group as of August 2021, the figures relating to adjusted EBITDA and revenue were calculated and expressed pro forma taking into consideration the entire year 2021.
(*) The comparative figures as at 31 December 2021 were restated following the completion of the purchase price allocation process of the Metatron Group, consolidated line-by-line starting from August 2021.

LANDI RENZO - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2022 24

The Directors' Report of the Parent Company and the Consolidated Directors' Report have been presented in a single document, giving greater prominence, where appropriate, to issues of relevance to all companies included in consolidation.
The green revolution, the energy transition and sustainable mobility are increasingly at the heart of the policies of governments all over the world, which are committed to engaging in a global effort against climate change, aimed at reducing the effects of global warming by seeking out new energy and socioeconomic models which, through a structural process, allow for the use of greener energy sources.
Governments are placing a greater focus on the production of energy from renewable sources, including biomethane, and on policies for investments in hydrogen, as a means for favouring clean energy generation and storage. In particular, the REPowerEU Plan and the US Inflation Reduction Act rely significantly on hydrogen and biomethane as sources for the energy transition, with a series of investment support measures. Similar policies were adopted in Asia (first and foremost in China), while India continues to focus significantly on natural gas as an energy source for its transition towards cleaner energy.
In this context, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the risk of an energy shortage has emphasised, especially in Europe, that this transition must be consistent with the energy policies of the various countries and with the need to minimise the risks connected to excessive external energy dependence through a diversification of types of sources and their origin, as well as have conventional source back-ups, aimed at guaranteeing production continuity and economic system stability, with natural gas representing the only low-pollution conventional source.
Even in Europe, the awareness that battery electric vehicles (BEV) cannot be considered the only possible option for the passenger mobility of the future, especially in the medium term, is becoming increasingly apparent, while it is emerging on multiple fronts that the approach to real decarbonisation must be more holistic, or based on principles of technological neutrality and considering emissions from a "well to wheel" perspective. This has also been demonstrated by the recent positions expressed by certain countries, first and foremost Italy and Germany, in the European Community, with reference to the discontinuation of internal combustion engines expected as of 2035.
In this context, awareness is growing at global level that to be feasible and concrete, energy decarbonisation must rely on the use of a range of technologies depending on usage (industrial vs. mobility) and application ("hard to abate" industry, passenger mobility vs. heavy duty transport, etc.). Bio-fuels (including biomethane) and hydrogen are emerging in particular amongst the high-potential technologies/energy sources. They are increasingly considered fundamental pieces of the energy mix of the future, also accompanied by technologies for capturing natural gas leakages and "carbon capture". In particular, in the mobility arena hydrogen is attracting growing international investor attention in the wake of the awareness of the potential of this source, not only for Mid & Heavy Duty transport, but also

for Light Commercial Vehicles and Passenger cars.
The growing importance of hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas as energy sources for the future and possible solutions that guarantee greater environmental sustainability combine well with the Group's green mission and with the role that it is able to play in the energy transition. Indeed, the Landi Renzo Group is present throughout the value chain for the distribution of natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen, through its subsidiary SAFE&CEC, which designs and distributes advanced systems for the compression and management of those gases from the "post-generation" phase to midstream and final distribution at fuel supply stations or in industrial applications ("Clean Tech Solutions" sector), and in the Green Mobility sector where the group is the recognised leader in the design, development and marketing of components for vehicles (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles or Mid & Heavy Duty vehicles) fuelled by natural gas, biomethane, liquefied natural gas (LNG), LPG or hydrogen ("Green Transportation" segment).
Over the last few years, the Landi Renzo Group has laid the bases to become a strategic leader in its business segments by offering value added solutions for its customers, also thanks to the investments it has made in the Green Transportation segment - with the acquisition of the Metatron Group in August 2021, which made it possible to strengthen the Group's presence in the OEM segment for Mid & Heavy Duty applications and in the hydrogen segment - as well as in the Clean Tech Solutions segment, with the acquisition in January 2022 of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., a leader in the production of innovative hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas compression technologies and systems. These transactions have enabled the Group to access innovative and cutting-edge product portfolios for biomethane and hydrogen solutions as well.
Within such a structurally complex context, 2022 was impacted by a series of events that influenced the Group's performance, starting with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which created a moment of great discontinuity in global energy dynamics and in particular in natural gas and LNG prices, and raw material price trends and procurement difficulties, which impacted both demand for the products supplied by the Group (particularly in the Green Transportation segment) as well as margins, given the difficulties encountered in the Green Transportation and the Clean Tech Solutions segments in passing on these cost increases to customers.
In more detail, the economic performance of companies operating in the Automotive sector was negatively influenced by a series of factors in 2022, including:
• the geopolitical consequences of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the uncertainties surrounding its duration caused the cost of natural gas to skyrocket in Europe in the first half of 2022 and at global level in the second half, with knock-on effects on the cost of living and production costs of both foodstuffs and industrial products, in addition to a persistent rise in natural gas and LNG prices at the pump as well. The resulting inflationary pressures triggered direct effects on demand, particularly for durable goods, and an exacerbation of financial market conditions following central bank actions on interest rates, aimed at controlling this inflationary push. Furthermore, the sanctions

imposed by a number of European countries, and others as well, limited exports to Russia, a market expected to experience strong growth in gas mobility;
The economic and financial results of the Green Transportation and Clean Tech Solutions segments were influenced, albeit with different trends and intensities, by the economic environment, with significant effects on margins as well as turnover.
In addition to the above, in October 2022 the Landi Renzo Group suffered from a cyber attack (ransomware) which slowed activities in the Green Transportation as well as the Clean Tech Solutions segments for roughly 3 weeks, with a resulting loss of turnover and production efficiency, generating extraordinary costs to make up for lost production, as well as to seek to recover a significant share of turnover in December.
The consolidated revenues of the Green Transportation segment amounted to Euro 201,725 thousand (inclusive of Euro 15,077 thousand linked to the Metatron Group), up by 16.7% compared with the previous year (Euro 172,914 thousand, of which Euro 6,095 thousand linked to the Metatron Group for the August-December 2021 period).
With reference to the OEM channel, the trends observed vary depending on the type of application and the geographical area. While demand for LPG vehicle components has continued to grow in Europe (with new LPG vehicle sales up compared with the previous year), new natural gas vehicle registrations have marked negative growth, also due to the price of natural gas at the pump, which has discouraged purchases. In terms of margins, increases in the prices of raw materials and components, as well as rising energy costs, were transferred to several leading OEM customers only in part.
As concerns Mid & Heavy Duty applications, there was a strong increase in gas prices due primarily to the continuation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with a sharp slowdown in demand in Europe (both CNG

and LNG) and a resulting postponement of the main OEM programmes. Furthermore, the Chinese market (main producer of Mid & Heavy Duty engines), heavily impacted by the lockdowns imposed in the first quarter by the Chinese government and continuing growth in LNG prices, suffered a collapse of 35% in registrations of new heavy duty cargo vehicles. In any event, the penetration of gas-fuelled vehicles against total registrations in the Chinese market remained basically in line with previous years.
With reference to the After Market channel, the recovery in demand for LPG components and systems, particularly in Europe, only partially offset the slow market recovery with respect to pre-pandemic values, also influenced by rising methane costs. In this sales channel, the management's initiatives to transfer raw material price hikes to customers were particularly effective, with positive effects on margins. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the associated sanctions and limitations imposed by governments slowed the process of starting up the Landi Renzo RU branch, established just prior to the start of the conflict and intended to manage the Russian market, which is considered highly appealing and strategic in the future of gas mobility.
As regards the Clean Tech Solutions segment, the trend in demand for compression systems continues to be highly promising. Consolidated revenues of that segment amounted to Euro 104,572 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (inclusive of Euro 6,383 thousand relating to Idro Meccanica S.r.l.), up by 13.2% compared with 2021 pro forma (Euro 92,343 thousand), or including the months from January to April 2021 of the SAFE&CEC Group, not subject to line-by-line consolidation in the previous year. In particular, growth has been observed in demand for compressors for the injection of biomethane into the grid ("grid injection"), used throughout the value chain, as well as hydrogen compression solutions. On the other hand, difficulties in obtaining electrical components and containers slowed production capacity, with a negative impact on the completion of orders and on growth in working capital. The time interval between providing an estimate and acquiring orders and the order fulfilment phase has influenced margins, making it more complicated to pass increases in raw material and component prices on to customers. Albeit down with respect to 2021, with an effect of roughly three percentage points in terms of adjusted pro forma EBITDA (i.e., including the months from January to April of the SAFE&CEC Group for the year 2021), margins remained positive. The Russia-Ukraine conflict did not have any particular effects on the Clean Tech Solutions segment, as the orders expected for the Russian market were reallocated to other customers/geographical areas.
Despite the results mentioned above, at the same time, appealing positive trends are being observed in terms of demand in certain geographical areas, in the Green Transportation segment as well as in Clean Tech Solutions, in addition to significant growth in demand for biomethane and hydrogen compression solutions for "post-generation" applications as well as the distribution of refuelling stations. Indeed, requests received by the Group in the Green Transportation segment for estimates for hydrogen components remained high, in Europe as well as in the United States and China, bearing witness to the

strong interest in innovative Group products in a segment with high growth potential.
Particular attention must be paid to the market in India, which continues to be one of the countries in which gas mobility, for the Green Transportation segment as well as the Clean Tech Solutions segment, will develop over the coming years at a more sustained pace, thanks to Indian government policies for the development of natural gas-based sustainable mobility. In this context, Krishna Landi Renzo, an Indian joint venture consolidated with the equity method, continued to increase its sale volumes to a leading Indian OEM customer in the course of 2022, recording revenue of Euro 35.4 million, up by over 80% compared with the previous year.
The highly positive result of the share capital increase demonstrates how, despite the period of strong uncertainty, the financial markets believe in the solidity of the business model of Landi Renzo and its role as a key player in the global energy transition process, thanks to a robust and credible business plan, which bets on the essential role to be played by gas, biomethane and hydrogen.
At the end of the share capital increase transaction, a total of 110,655,272 newly issued shares were therefore subscribed, equal to roughly 98.36% of the shares offered as part of the share capital increase, for a total equivalent value of Euro 58,647 thousand. Furthermore, in keeping with what was set forth in the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, in light of the interest demonstrated by GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. in subscribing all residual shares, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors approved their placement with GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. at a subscription price per share equal to that at which the shares were offered during the share capital increase, i.e., Euro 0.53 (including the share premium). Pursuant to the related party transaction procedure, this resolution was passed with the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On 19 September 2022, GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. therefore subscribed the remaining shares in their entirety; following that subscription, the share capital increase was thus fully subscribed.
During the previous year the following transactions took place which modified the scope of consolidation:

Furthermore, in January 2022, SAFE S.p.A. acquired 90% of the share capital of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., a leader in the production of technologies and innovative systems for the compression of hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas, which boasts of a full range of products and applications to manage hydrogen compression up to 800 bars. The total price for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital was Euro 6,400 thousand. The acquisition of the remaining 10% of the share capital, which was already established in the contract, took place in January 2023 for an equivalent value of Euro 640 thousand. Based on the binding commitment to purchase that remaining share, which did not include any conditions precedent, the company has been 100% consolidated line-by-line.
Following the change in the scope of consolidation, due to the line-by-line consolidation as of May 2021 of the results of the SAFE&CEC Group and as of August 2021 of the results of the Metatron Group and the consolidation as of January 2022 of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., the consolidated profit and loss as at 31 December 2022 is not directly comparable with that of the same period of the previous year.
The following table sets out the main economic indicators of the Group for the year ending at 31 December 2022 compared with the previous year. As required by the reference accounting standards and as described in the notes to the financial statements, the figures as at 31 December 2021 were restated to consider the backdating of the effects of the Metatron Group purchase price allocation starting from the month of August 2021.

Consolidated revenues for 2022 totalled Euro 306,297 thousand, increasing by Euro 64,303 thousand (+26.6%) compared with the same period of the previous year. On a like-for-like basis, or considering the months of 2021 not subject to line-by-line consolidation of the Metatron Group and the SAFE&CEC Group, the increase in consolidated revenues amounted to roughly 10.1% compared with the previous year.
Costs of raw materials, consumables and goods and changes in inventories increased overall from Euro 150,272 thousand at 31 December 2021 to Euro 188,979 thousand at 31 December 2022, influenced by the change in the scope of consolidation described above as well as the international increase in prices of raw materials and electronic components.
The costs of services and use of third-party assets amounted to Euro 54,780 thousand, compared with Euro 43,075 thousand in the previous year, in particular following the change in the scope of consolidation. Costs for services and use of third party assets as at 31 December 2022 are inclusive of non-recurring expenses relating to strategic consulting (Euro 1,322 thousand) and for consulting connected to the cyber attack (Euro 344 thousand).
Personnel costs rose from Euro 34,920 thousand as at 31 December 2021 to Euro 47,218 thousand as at 31 December 2022, primarily as a result of the change in the scope of consolidation, and includes non-

recurring costs of Euro 439 thousand, for the most part linked to voluntary redundancy payments made by the Parent Company. The Group had a total of 951 employees, including 360 relating to the Clean Tech Solutions segment.
The Group heavily invested in highly specialised resources to support the increasing research and development performed for new products and solutions, particularly for the Heavy Duty market and hydrogen and biomethane mobility, capitalised when they meet the requirements laid out in IAS 38.
Allocations, write-downs and other operating expenses totalled Euro 5,525 thousand (Euro 3,722 thousand as at 31 December 2021), up due to the change in the scope of consolidation as well as:
The adjusted Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) was Euro 15,257 thousand as at 31 December 2022, compared with Euro 14,614 thousand in the same period of the previous year, while the Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) was Euro 11,044 thousand (Euro 12,615 thousand as at 31 December 2021), inclusive of non-recurring costs of Euro 4,213 thousand (Euro 1,999 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

The Group's management has activated a boost programme to improve margins, in particular:
• in the Green Transportation segment:
(i) in the After Market channel, cost monitoring and the relative price list updating continues, as already took place in 2022;
(ii) in the OEM channel, after agreeing on and obtaining reimbursements for extra costs incurred in 2022 from some leading OEM customers, additional product development and improvement activities are under way to reduce production costs, and increase the efficiency of purchasing activities, in addition to changes in price policies;
• in the Clean Tech Solutions segment, working on orders, the prices of new offers were updated on the basis of the new prices in force in the market, and actions were also initiated in order to recoup higher costs from customers, in addition to design to cost initiatives and the introduction of new tools intended to improve estimates and working capital efficiency.
Activities are also under way in order to:
• reduce and limit purchase and production costs, through negotiations with suppliers and designto-cost initiatives on the main system components;
• accelerate the digitalisation of several business areas;
• accelerate the integration of newly-acquired companies, with expectations of important synergies and fixed and variable cost reductions.
In this context, the management team was also strengthened, with qualified entries in the Operations, Finance, Human Resources and Strategic Marketing areas, which downstream will trigger an additional reinforcement of all Group areas.
The Net Operating Profit (EBIT) for the period was negative at Euro 6,033 thousand (negative and equal to Euro 3,002 thousand at 31 December 2021), after accounting for amortisation, depreciation and impairment of Euro 17,077 thousand (Euro 15,617 thousand at 31 December 2021), of which Euro 3,481 thousand due to the application of IFRS - 16 Leases (Euro 3,136 thousand at 31 December 2021).
Total financial expenses (interest income, interest charges and exchange rate differences) amounted to Euro 8,171 thousand (Euro 4,489 thousand as at 31 December 2021) and include negative exchange effects primarily from valuation of Euro 1,670 thousand (negative and equal to Euro 362 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

Financial expenses alone, amounting to Euro 7,630 thousand, rose compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 4,344 thousand) following the change in the scope of consolidation as well as due to:
Financial expenses, amounting to Euro 1,129 thousand, are inclusive of Euro 912 thousand relating to the release to the income statement of the cash flow hedge reserve relating to the previous pool loan which, as mentioned previously, was subject to early repayment on 23 September 2022. As the hedged element was eliminated, as of that date the cash flow hedge reserve was reversed to the income statement. This income was then realised in October following the early closure of the relative financial derivative contracts and with the collection of their market value.
Expenses attributable to equity investments are connected to the write-down of Metatron Technologies India Plc, due to its economic results, as well as the valuation of the repurchase option on the minority interests of Metatron Control System Shanghai.
As at 31 December 2022, the effect of the valuation of equity investments using the equity method was a positive Euro 468 thousand (a positive Euro 597 thousand recorded in the income statement and a negative Euro 128 thousand recorded in the statement of comprehensive income) and regards the Group's share of the profits for the period from the joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo. The comparative figure as at 31 December 2021, amounting to Euro 620 thousand, instead included the valuation using the net equity method of the joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo (positive at Euro 1,286 thousand) and, limited to the first four months of 2021, or until its line-by-line consolidation, of the SAFE&CEC Group (a negative Euro 666 thousand).
The year 2022 closed with a pre-tax loss (EBT) of Euro 13,882 thousand. As at 31 December 2021, there was

a pre-tax profit (EBT) of Euro 1,710 thousand, inclusive of income from the business combination of Euro 8,783 thousand, deriving from the line-by-line consolidation starting from April 2021 of the SAFE&CEC Group, previously consolidated with the equity method.
The net result of the Group and minority interests as at 31 December 2022 showed a loss of Euro 14,267 thousand compared with a Group and minority interest profit of Euro 502 thousand as at 31 December 2021, inclusive of income from the business combination of Euro 8,783 thousand, as described previously.
The management has identified two operating segments ("Cash Generating Units" or "CGUs") in which the Landi Renzo Group operates, or:
• The Green Transportation segment, referring primarily to the design, manufacture and sale through the OEM and After Market channels of mechanical and electronic systems and components for the use of automotive gas (CNG - Compressed Natural Gas, LNG – Liquid Natural Gas, LPG, RNG – Renewable Natural Gas/Biomethane and Hydrogen) as well as, to a lesser extent, anti-theft alarms. This segment mainly includes the Landi Renzo, Metatron, AEB, Lovato and Med brands.
• The Clean Tech Solutions segment, referring to the design and manufacture of compressors for the processing and distribution of gas (CNG, RNG and Hydrogen) as well as operations in the Oil&Gas market. The broad range of SAFE&CEC Group products makes it possible to satisfy multiple market requirements for the construction of automotive CNG, RNG and hydrogen distribution stations. Since January 2022, the Clean Tech Solutions sector also includes the results of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., a leader in the production of technologies and innovative systems for the compression of hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas.

Revenues from sales in the Green Transportation segment as at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 201,725 thousand (inclusive of revenues of Euro 15,077 thousand of the Metatron Group), up by 16.7% (Euro 172,914 thousand as at 31 December 2021 and inclusive of revenue of Euro 6,095 thousand of the Metatron Group) thanks to the recovery of the After Market channel in Latam and Europe, as well as increasing orders from a leading OEM customer.
The persistence of logistics sector difficulties, raw material (particularly semiconductor) shortages and increasing energy costs, as well as the climate of uncertainty deriving from the continuing Russia-Ukraine conflict, are continuing to influence the results of components manufacturers throughout the supply chain. This market situation continued to result in increases in the list prices of materials for all of 2022 in addition to difficulties in fulfilling outstanding orders.
Group sales in the OEM channel, inclusive of the contribution of the Metatron Group, amounted to Euro 107 million, up by 37.3% compared with 31 December 2021 (Euro 77.9 million), due to the change in the scope of consolidation as well as consistent orders from a major OEM customer, which is focusing on LPG bifuel engines to develop its "green" product range, and turnover growth for Mid & Heavy Duty components in the United States.
Sales in the After Market channel, amounting to Euro 94.7 million, relate to orders from distributors and authorised installers, both domestic and foreign, and were aligned with the previous year (Euro 95 million as at 31 December 2021).

Bucking the new vehicle registration trend (-9.5% according to data from UNRAE - Association of foreign car makers operating in Italy), Group sales in the Italian market grew compared with the same period of the previous year (+8.7%), primarily thanks to the recovery in demand in the After Market channel. The strong increase in CNG prices at the pump had a negative effect on CNG vehicle registrations, offset by the increase in LPG vehicle registrations. Overall, in 2022, gas-fuelled (CNG and LPG) vehicle registrations represented more than 9% of total vehicles registered.
The rest of Europe represents 50.2% of total sales (49.4% in 2021) and is up 18.6% thanks to considerable orders from a major OEM customer, which is basing the development of its "green" product line on LPG bifuel engines, as well as the recovery of the After Market channel.
Sales in 2022 on the American continent, amounting to Euro 29,526 thousand (Euro 26,117 thousand at 31 December 2021), marked an increase of 13.1% thanks to the positive performance of the Latam area, in the After Market channel, and the United States for Mid & Heavy Duty components in the OEM channel.
The Asian and Rest of the World markets, amounting to 22.9% of total revenue (22.3% in 2021) rose by 19.6% thanks to the positive performance of the Asian and North African markets.

In the After Market channel, after continued updating of sale price lists, margins remained stable with respect to the previous year. On the other hand, in the OEM channel, despite the agreements reached with some of the main OEM customers, which made it possible to recoup part of the higher costs incurred in 2022 and primarily linked to raw material cost trends, margins were down, only in part offset by improved sales margins on Mid-Heavy Duty components.
In 2022, the adjusted Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) of the Green Transportation segment, net of nonrecurring costs of Euro 3,694 thousand, was positive at Euro 9,271 thousand, equivalent to 4.6% of revenues, up compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 7,205 thousand, equal to 4.2% of revenues and net of non-recurring costs of Euro 1,668 thousand).
Compared with the previous quarters, the final quarter of 2022 marked a strong recovery in sales (Euro +13 million, with an increase of roughly 30%) and in margins (52% adjusted EBITDA for the year) as a result of a different sales mix (with a higher incidence of sales in the After Market channel) and the definition of agreements with several leading OEM customers to cover part of the higher costs for raw materials and electronic components incurred during the year.

Following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as of May 2021 and the consolidation of Idro Meccanica S.r.l. as of January 2022, the Clean Tech Solutions segment data are not directly comparable with the same period of the previous year.

In the year ending on 31 December 2022, the Clean Tech Solutions segment recorded revenues of Euro 104,572 thousand, up by 13.2% compared with the same period of the previous year pro forma (Euro 92,343 thousand), confirming the growing interest in gas mobility on the part of many countries, which are strengthening their distribution networks. This result is of particular interest considering the difficulties identified during the period in obtaining the components necessary to make progress on and complete orders. The SAFE&CEC Group indeed continues to present growing results and an order portfolio capable of covering the first half of 2023.

Revenue by geographical area, an insignificant indicator for the Clean Tech Solutions segment, given its extreme variability depending on the projects completed during the period, recorded significant results in the America and Europe area, primarily due to the contracts intended for those markets, particularly for biogas solutions.
The adjusted Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) amounted to Euro 5,986 thousand (equal to 5.7% of revenues), down by 28.3% compared with 2021 (pro forma). This decline is primarily linked to the significant increase in material and logistics costs not transferred to customers as they related to orders completed in 2022, the prices of which were defined and agreed upon with customers in the course of 2021. New offers being made have been updated on the basis of the new prices in force in the market and will benefit from design to cost initiatives, interventions in the purchasing function and new digital tools for managing estimates, improving supply chain efficiency and the various company functions. EBIT amounted to Euro 2,596 thousand, equal to 2.5% of revenues (equal to 5% in 2021).

(**) In order to calculate the indicator in question at 31 December 2021, following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as of May 2021 and the Metatron Group as of August 2021, the figures relating to revenue were calculated and expressed pro forma taking into consideration the entire year 2021.
Net working capital at the end of the period stood at Euro 54,683 thousand and was substantially aligned with the figure recorded at 31 December 2021 (Euro 53,891 thousand), but improved in terms of percentage of revenue, which went from 19.4% in 2021 to 17.9% in the year ended as at 31 December 2022. Inventories and contract work in progress rose from Euro 84,549 thousand as at 31 December 2021 to Euro
97,109 thousand as at 31 December 2022, primarily due to:
Trade receivables stood at Euro 73,559 thousand (of which Euro 21,237 thousand relating to the Clean Tech Solutions segment and Euro 5,989 thousand relating to the Metatron Group), up compared with 31 December 2021 (Euro 66,048 thousand, of which Euro 21,606 thousand relating to the Clean Tech Solutions segment and Euro 7,751 thousand to the Metatron Group), against the increase in turnover. At 31 December 2022, derecognised receivables disposed through maturity factoring stood at Euro 16.1 million (Euro 12.2 million at 31 December 2021).
Trade payables are up by Euro 15,147 thousand from Euro 82,886 thousand as at 31 December 2021 to Euro 98,033 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (of which Euro 4,280 thousand relating to the Clean Tech Solutions

segment and Euro 27,473 thousand to the Metatron Group) due to higher acquisitions during the period. Fixed capital, amounting to Euro 155,331 thousand and inclusive of Euro 13,618 thousand for right-of-use assets recognised pursuant to IFRS 16 – Leases, is basically aligned with the figure as at 31 December 2021. As at 31 December 2022, TFR (employee severance indemnity) and other provisions totalled Euro 11,807 thousand, an increase compared with the previous year (Euro 9,964 thousand), primarily due to the nonrecurring provision of Euro 927 thousand recognised by a foreign Group company against uncertainties connected to the recovery of a tax credit, for which the relative recovery procedures are ongoing with the support of a leading tax advisor; given the complexities and uncertainties of the relative legislation, it was deemed appropriate to recognise a provision for reasons of prudence.
Net invested capital (Euro 198,207 thousand, equal to 64.7% of turnover) is basically aligned with 31 December 2021 (Euro 194,076 thousand, equal to 69.8% of turnover).
In this regard, please note that as at 31 December 2022 goodwill was recognised for a total value of Euro 80,132 thousand, for which specific impairment tests were performed which did not bring to light any impairment losses. For the details please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

(*) Not including the effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and the payables for the equity investments
The Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2022 is equal to Euro 92,323 thousand (Euro 133,493 thousand as at 31 December 2021), of which Euro 14,510 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 – Leases, a

positive Euro 515 thousand due to the fair value of derivative financial instruments and Euro 1,086 thousand due to the remaining payable for the acquisition of Idro Meccanica S.r.l. and the valuation of the call option on the minority stakes of the Chinese subsidiary of the Metatron Group (amounts classified in the item Other current liabilities of the consolidated statement of financial position). Without considering the effects arising from the adoption of this accounting standard, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and the remaining payable for the acquisition of equity investments, the adjusted Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2022 would have been equal to Euro 77,242 thousand, of which Euro 68,511 thousand linked to the Green Transportation segment and Euro 8,731 thousand to the Clean Tech Solutions segment.
As concerns the Net Financial Position of the Green Transportation segment at 31 December 2021, the payable for commitments for the purchase of equity investments, equal to Euro 25,436, related to the remaining payable to Italy Technology Group S.r.l. and the minority shareholders of Metatron for the acquisition of 100% of the respective shares. In the course of the first quarter of 2022, Girefin S.p.A. granted a Euro 18,062 thousand loan to Landi Renzo S.p.A. to finance the acquisition by Landi Renzo S.p.A. of an additional 23.43% of the share capital of Metatron S.p.A., after which time it came to hold 72.43% of the shares of Metatron S.p.A. This loan was subject to voluntary offsetting, pursuant to Article 1252 of the Italian Civil Code, as part of the share capital increase concluded in September 2022. The remainder of that payable of Euro 7,374 thousand was paid to the selling shareholders in September 2022.
The improvement in the net financial position as at 31 December 2022 compared with the end of the previous year is linked to the net effect of the share capital increase concluded in September 2022 for Euro 58.6 million (net of outlays connected with the share capital increase, amounting to Euro 1 million), Euro 31.2 million of which used for the acquisitions of the Metatron Group (Euro 25.4 million) and Idro Meccanica S.r.l. (Euro 5.8 million).
In order to further strengthen the Group's financial structure and make it more consistent with the flows expected from the 2022-2025 Business Plan, in June 2022 two new loan agreements were entered into, for a total of Euro 73 million, aimed at replacing the SACE backed loan agreement and paying off the outstanding pool loan, in particular:
The new contracts call for the calculation of financial parameters (NFP/EBITDA) which had not been

respected at 31 December 2022; as a result, for their presentation in these financial statements according to IAS/IFRS, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.
As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.

In 2022, cash generation amounted to Euro 21,054 thousand (absorption of Euro 1,040 thousand in 2021), primarily linked to:
share capital increase for Euro 58,554 thousand (net of costs incurred);
financial outflows relating to the changes in the scope of consolidation (Euro 30,683 thousand), primarily linked to the acquisition of Idro Meccanica S.r.l. and the completion of the acquisition of the Metatron Group;
positive flows from current operations for Euro 1,520 thousand (inclusive of outlays for lease payments in accordance with IFRS 16);

Considering what is set forth above, as well as taking into account:
the directors have not identified circumstances such so as to jeopardise the Group's capacity to meet its corporate obligations and as a result have drafted these financial statements on a going concern basis.
Due to the investment agreement entered into in April 2022 between Girefin Spa, Gireimm Srl and Itaca Equity Holding SpA, the Shareholders' Meeting of Landi Renzo S.p.A. approved a share capital increase for up to Euro 60 million, which is one of the actions included in the 2022-2025 Business Plan, and aims to provide the Landi Renzo Group with the necessary funding to support the investment plan, which also includes external investment, in market segments expected to have the most growth, such as biomethane and hydrogen. The share capital increase was guaranteed up to Euro 50 million following the commitment made by TIP – Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A., the single largest shareholder of Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., to guarantee in cash the entire share attributable to Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., and the commitment made by Girefin S.p.A. and Gireimm S.r.l. to guarantee, through the voluntary offsetting of part of the receivable, the capital portion necessary to guarantee the share capital increase up to Euro 50 million to complement the guarantee commitment assumed by TIP – Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A.
In execution of the investment agreement:

ordinary shares, with a nominal value of Euro 0.10, and with regular dividend entitlement, to be offered under option to the shareholders at the ratio of 1 new share for every 1 ordinary share held, at a unit issue price of Euro 0.53, determined by the Board of Directors by applying, on the basis of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, a discount of 16.09% on the theoretical ex right price (TERP) of the Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares, calculated in accordance with current methodologies on the basis of the weighted average trading price of Landi Renzo ordinary shares in the 5 previous trading days, i.e., 4 July 2022 to 8 July 2022.
These transactions provided GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. with the necessary funding to subscribe its portion of the share capital increase.
On 4 August 2022, the offer under option period concluded with the exercise of a total of 107,781,064 option rights valid for the subscription of 107,781,064 new shares, equal to roughly 95.805% of the total of new shares, for a total equivalent value of Euro 57,124 thousand. GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. subscribed its portion of the share capital increase (equal to around 59.1068%) pursuant to the subscription commitment made, for a total equivalent value of roughly Euro 35.2 million, of which around Euro 17.1 million by means of a contribution in cash and Euro 18.1 million by means of voluntary offsetting.
The offer of the non-exercised rights concluded on 7 September 2022 with the subscription of 2,874,208 shares for an equivalent value of Euro 1,523 thousand. Taking into account that during the offer under option period 107,781,064 newly issued shares were subscribed, amounting to 95.805% of the total, a total of 110,655,272 newly issued shares were subscribed, equal to roughly 98.360% of the shares offered as part of the share capital increase, for a total equivalent value of Euro 58,647 thousand.
In keeping with what was set forth in the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, in light of the interest demonstrated by GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. in subscribing all

residual shares, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors approved their placement in its favour at a subscription price per share equal to that at which the shares were offered during the share capital increase, i.e., Euro 0.53 (including the share premium). Pursuant to the related party transaction procedure, this resolution was passed with the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On 19 September 2022, GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. therefore subscribed the remaining shares in their entirety; following that subscription, the share capital increase was thus fully subscribed (total Euro 59,625 thousand).
The highly positive result of the offer under option, despite the period of strong uncertainty, demonstrates how the financial markets believe in the solidity of the business model of Landi Renzo and its role as a key player in the global energy transition process, thanks to a robust and credible business plan, which bets on the fundamental role to be played by gas, biomethane and hydrogen.
Investments in property, plant, machinery and other equipment totalled Euro 2,487 thousand (Euro 3,188 thousand as at 31 December 2021) and refer to the investments made by the Group in the new production lines and moulds required to launch new products.
The increase in intangible assets amounted to Euro 5,971 thousand (Euro 5,426 thousand at 31 December 2020) and mainly referred to the capitalisation of costs of development projects relating to new products for the OEM and After Market channels, as well as for the Heavy Duty segment and for hydrogen and biomethane mobility, as regards the Green Transportation segment and new hydrogen and biomethane products for the Clean Tech Solutions segment.
In 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A. generated revenues of Euro 144,036 thousand compared with Euro 131,455 thousand in the same period of the prior year. EBITDA totalled Euro 6,550 thousand, compared with Euro 5,590 thousand at 31 December 2021, while the net financial position was Euro -68,453 thousand (Euro - 64,300 thousand, net of the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16, the fair value of financial derivative contracts and the remaining payable for the acquisition of the Metatron Group) compared with Euro -112,961 thousand at 31 December 2021 (Euro -84,834 thousand, net of the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16 and the fair value of financial derivative contracts).
At the end of 2022, the Parent Company's workforce numbered 279 employees, down by 18 compared with 31 December 2021 (297).

The Corporate Governance Report is available on the website www.landirenzogroup.com in the Investor section.
This section provides information on exposure to risks connected with the activities of the Group as well as the objectives, policies and processes for managing such risks and the methods used to asses and to mitigate them.
The guidelines for the internal control and risk management system of the Group defined by the Board of Directors identify the internal audit system as a cross-sectional process integrated with all the company activities, which is based on the international principles of Enterprise risk management as a reference best practice for the architecture of internal audit systems. The purpose of the internal audit and risk management system is to help the Group to realise its performance and profit objectives, to obtain reliable economic-financial information and to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations in force, preventing damage to the company's image and economic losses. In this process, particular importance is given to the identification of corporate objectives, the classification (based on combined assessments regarding the probability and the potential impact) and the classification and control of the business risks connected to them, through the implementation of specific actions aimed at containing such risks. There are various types of potential business risks: external, strategic, operational (related to the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations), reporting (related to the reliability of economic-financial information), compliance (related to the observance of the laws and regulations in force, to avoid the company suffering damage to its image or and/or economic losses) and, lastly, financial.
Those in charge of the various branches of company management identify and assess the risks within their jurisdiction, whether these originate within or outside the Group, and identify actions to limit and reduce them (so-called "first line audit").
In addition, there are the activities of the Financial Reporting Manager and his staff (so called "second level audit") and those of the Manager of the Internal Audit function (so called "third level audit") who continuously monitors the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal audit and risk management system

through risk assessment activities, the performance of audit operations and the subsequent management of follow up.
The results of the risk identification procedures are reported and discussed at the Top Management level of the Group in order to create the prerequisites for their cover, insurance and for the assessment of the residual risk.
The following paragraphs describe the risks considered to be significant and connected with the activities of the Group (the order in which they are listed does not imply any classification, either in terms of probability of their occurrence or in terms of possible impact).
In terms of external risks, the management carefully monitored the evolution:
We refer to what is set forth below in terms of the impact of such external risks on the Group's results.
The activity of the Group is influenced by the general conditions of the economy in the various markets where it operates. A phase of economic crisis, with a consequent slowdown in consumption, can have a negative impact on the sales trends of the Group.
The macroeconomic context may cause significant uncertainty regarding future expectations, with the resulting risk that reduced performance could impact margins in the short term. In order to mitigate the possible negative impact that a downturn in demand could have on company profits, the Landi Renzo Group has outsourced part of its production to third-party suppliers; supplies to car manufacturers, on the other hand, are handled by the Group's own structures, as agreed with the customers for more effective synergy. In addition, when necessary, fixed-term contracts are also used.
The Group pursues its aim of increasing its industrial efficiency and improving its capacity for lean manufacturing, while reducing overhead costs.

The Group sells its products in more than 50 countries, in 17 of which it operates directly, including through its own companies. In 2022, the Group achieved 89.5% of consolidated revenues abroad.
In pursuing its expansion strategy, the Group has invested, and may invest more in the future, including in countries characterised by considerable instability in terms of their political institutions and/or involved in situations marked by international tensions. The above-mentioned strategy could expose the Group to various risks of a macroeconomic nature, arising, for example, from changes in the political, social, economic and regulatory systems of such countries or from extraordinary events such as acts of terrorism, civil disorder, restrictions on trade with particular reference to the Group's products, foreign investment and/or trade, as well as exchange rate control policies and associated restrictions on repatriation of capital, sanctions, restrictions on foreign investment, nationalisation, and inadequate protection of intellectual property rights.
The probability of the events described above actually taking place varies from country to country and is difficult to predict. However, a constant monitoring activity is carried out by company management in order to become aware of any changes as early as possible, so as to minimise any economic or financial impact that may ensue.
The Group aims at continued growth by means of a strategy based on gaining strength in the markets where it is already present and on further geographical expansion. In the context of such a strategy, the Group could encounter difficulties in managing the adaptation of the structure and business model or in the ability to identify market trends or the preferences of local consumers. In addition, the Group may incur start-up costs arising from the opening of new companies. Finally, in the event that the Group's growth is pursued through external lines by way of acquisition transactions, it may encounter, amongst other things, difficulties associated with the correct valuation of the assets acquired, the integration of such assets, and also the failure to achieve the expected synergy, which may have a negative impact on the activity and on the future economic-financial results of the Group.

The Group distributes and sells its systems and components to the main vehicle manufacturers worldwide (OEM customers). In the year ending 31 December 2022, the sales of systems and components made by the Group to OEM customers in the Green Transportation segment amounted to Euro 107 million, up by 37.3% compared with 31 December 2021 (Euro 77.9 million). The group's main OEM customer, which is highly strategically significant, represented roughly 71% of OEM turnover in 2022.
Relationships with OEM customers, which have been well established for years now, are typically governed by agreements that do not require minimum purchase quantities. Therefore, the demand for predefined quantities of Group products from such customers cannot be guaranteed. In order to satisfy the requirements of various customers to the best of its abilities, the Group has initiated a policy of delocalisation of part of its production, in recent years, in countries where it already has a number of customers. Furthermore, in order to protect margins linked to such customers, in a context like the current one with a high level of volatility in raw material costs, the Company has sought to carry out price revision processes for the most significant orders with the relative customers, in order to be able to deal with that contingent situation. In light of the above, and also in view of the competitive advantage acquired in providing solutions for the development of sales in the After Market channel as well, the Group does not believe that it is at significant risk of dependency on OEM customers. It is not possible, however, to exclude the fact that the potential loss of important customers or a reduction in orders from them, or a delay in collection compared to contractual agreements may have negative effects on the economic-financial results of the Group.
The markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive in terms of quality, innovation, economic conditions and reliability and safety. The success of the activity will depend on the ability to maintain and increase market shares and to expand through new innovative solutions. The Group constantly monitors the market in order to identify as quickly as possible the introduction of any new or alternative fuel supply systems for motor vehicles by competitors and car manufacturers, and consequently manages the risk by pursuing a policy of progressive diversification and enrichment of its product portfolio in order to minimise any possible economic impact.
Any design or manufacturing defects in the Group products, including those attributable to third parties such as suppliers and installers, may give rise to product liability with regard to third parties. In addition, should the products turn out to be defective or fail to comply with technical and legal specifications, the Group, including at the request of its customers, could be obliged to withdraw such products from the

market while incurring the related costs. For these reasons, insurance cover has been put in place, centred on master policies negotiated and contracted centrally and local first risk policies. The latter guarantee immediate activation of the cover which is supplemented by master policies where the impact of the damage exceeds the local maximum amount. In order to further mitigate the risk related to product liability, the Group has considerably increased the maximum amounts of the master and recall policies in recent years. In addition, allocations are made to appropriate provisions, estimated by management based on the historical incidence of defects encountered and on the more recent and stricter requirements arising from commercial agreements signed with OEM customers.
The Group owns trademark rights, patent rights and other intellectual property rights, and regularly registers its trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights, and also protects its industrial know-how pursuant to the applicable regulations, in order to avoid the risk of imitation or reproduction of the products by competitors or by unauthorised third parties.
In relation to this, it is noted that the Group operates in more than 50 countries worldwide and that part of the Group's product sales takes place in emerging or developing countries, where the existing forms of protection may not be fully effective. In other words, the risk of products being counterfeited is greater. It is therefore not possible to eliminate the risk of third parties counterfeiting the products or disputing trademarks and patents, or to exclude the possibility of third parties discovering know-how or industrial secrets, or the risk that competitors may develop products, know-how and technologies similar to those of the Group. Any counterfeiting, claims and/or disputes relating to protection of intellectual property, whether brought by or against the Group, could have a negative impact on its economic-financial results if it loses them.
Intangible assets totalling Euro 122,645 thousand are reported in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022, including Euro 11,141 thousand for development expenditure, Euro 80,132 thousand for goodwill, Euro 17,263 thousand for trademarks and patents, as well as net deferred tax assets totalling Euro 14,109 thousand. The recoverability of such values is related to the materialisation of future industrial plans relating to the relevant cash generating unit.
In particular, in the context of its development strategy, the Group has acquired companies that have allowed it to increase its market presence and to take advantage of the opportunities for growth that it provides. With regard to such investments, recorded in the financial statements as goodwill, there is no guarantee that the Group will succeed in achieving the benefits originally expected from these operations. Similarly, the interests in joint ventures, consolidated according to the equity method are subjected to

impairment tests in case trigger events are identified that could envisage potential impairment losses. The Group constantly monitors the progress of performance in comparison to the plans, initiating the corrective actions necessary whenever unfavourable trends emerge that may involve significant changes in expected cash flow used for impairment tests when evaluating the consistency of the values recorded in the financial statements.
In this regard, please note that as at 31 December 2022 the Group tested its assets with an indefinite useful life for impairment, as described in the "goodwill" section of the explanatory notes, without identifying any impairment.
The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk associated with both cash at hand and with medium to long term financing. The exposure refers mainly to the Euro zone. As regards exposure to the risk of interest rate volatility, note that the financial indebtedness with banks is regulated primarily by variable interest rates. To partially reduce risks connected with fluctuating interest rates, the Group has entered into financial derivative contracts (interest rate swaps) in order to cover:
Interest rate risks were measured using sensitivity analysis and the potential impacts of Euribor interest rate fluctuations on the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 were analysed with particular reference to cash and cash equivalents and to loans. The increase of 50 basis points on the Euribor, with all other variables remaining the same, would have produced an increase in financial expenses for the Group of Euro 203 thousand in comparison to an increase in financial income equal to Euro 552 thousand.
The Group sells part of its production and, although to a much lesser degree, also purchases some components in Countries outside the Euro zone. In relation to the exchange risk, the amount of the accounting balances expressed in currency other than the functional currency is to be considered as insignificant compared to the Group's total revenues. The Group has no hedging instruments to cover exchange rate fluctuations and, in accordance with its policy up to this moment, no derivatives are subscribed for trading purposes. Therefore, the Group remains exposed to exchange rate risk on the balances of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency at year end.

The Group makes purchases and sales internationally, and therefore it is exposed to the normal risk of price fluctuation typical of its industry. Where possible, Group policy covers the risk through mediumterm supplier commitments.
The current market situation distinguished by a shortage of raw materials resulted on one hand in a reduction or deferral of orders from OEM customers, due to the need for automotive manufacturers to limit costs and avoid production interruptions, and on the other in difficulties in fulfilling existing orders, due to a series of complexities in obtaining raw materials. Furthermore, particularly in the OEM channel, in which long-term supply agreements are generally entered into, it was not always possible to reflect in due time the increase in raw material prices in sale prices. On the other hand, as regards the After Market channel, interventions on sale prices took place more promptly but, also due to growing competition in developing countries, it was not always possible to intervene to prevent the loss of market share. In the course of 2022, the Clean Tech Solutions segment was particularly struck by that effect due to the
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the counterparts of a financial instrument causes a financial loss through failure to fulfil an obligation and derives primarily from trade receivables, from other financial assets and from guarantees that may have been given by the Group.
time gap between the estimation/acquisition of the order and its actual fulfilment.
The Group normally deals with known and reliable customers. It is the Group's policy to subject customers requesting extended payment conditions to procedures for checking their credit class. This check also includes external assessments when available. Sales limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum line of credit, beyond which direct approval by management is required. In addition, the balance of the receivables is monitored on a fortnightly basis over the period, in order to minimise exposure to the risk of losses. Finally, regarding new customers and those not operating in EU countries, a letter of credit to guarantee successful collection is normally used, where possible.
The Company uses non-recourse assignment of debts.
The Group allocates a provision for impairment that reflects the estimated losses on trade receivables and on other creditors, made up primarily of individual write-downs of significant exposures.
The credit risk regarding the other financial assets of the Group, including cash and cash equivalents, presents a maximum risk equal to the carrying amount of these assets in the case of insolvency of the counterpart.

When required, the policies of the Group provide for the issue of financial guarantees in favour of subsidiary companies and associates.
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may have difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
Due to the continuation of a difficult macroeconomic context, overshadowed by considerable uncertainty as to cash flows, the management is continuing to devote considerable attention to the financial position and short/medium-term cash forecasts.
The highly positive result of the share capital increase demonstrates how, despite the period of strong uncertainty, the financial markets believe in the solidity of the business model of Landi Renzo and its role as a key player in the global energy transition process, thanks to a robust and credible business plan, which bets on the fundamental role to be played by gas, biomethane and hydrogen.
At the end of the share capital increase transaction, a total of 110,655,272 newly issued shares were therefore subscribed, equal to roughly 98.36% of the shares offered as part of the share capital increase, for a total equivalent value of Euro 58,647 thousand. Furthermore, in keeping with what was set forth in the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, in light of the interest demonstrated by GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. in subscribing all residual shares, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors approved their placement with GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. at a subscription price per share equal to that at which the shares were offered during the share capital increase, i.e., Euro 0.53 (including the share premium). Pursuant to the related party transaction procedure, this resolution was passed with the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On 19 September 2022, GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. therefore subscribed the remaining shares in their entirety; following that subscription, the share capital increase was thus fully subscribed.
Also in this context, in order to further strengthen the Group's financial structure and make it more consistent with the flows expected from the 2022-2025 Business Plan, in June 2022 two new loan agreements were entered into, for a total of Euro 73 million, aimed at replacing the SACE backed loan agreement and paying off the outstanding pool loan, in particular:

The new contracts call for the calculation of financial parameters (NFP/EBITDA) which had not been respected at 31 December 2022; as a result, for presentation in these financial statements according to IAS/IFRS, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.
As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.
Considering the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2022, the economic and financial forecasts for the year 2023 and thereafter, incorporated into the 2023 budget and the 2022-2025 economic-financial plan, as well as taking into account the renegotiation of the pool and SACE loans, the stability of the Landi Renzo Group's financial strength is confirmed, to an extent which guarantees the pursuit of its short/medium-term objectives.
For more details on climate change, please refer to the non-financial report as at 31 December 2022.
The Group continues to carefully monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic across all of its sites worldwide, promptly taking all prevention, control and limitation measures to protect the health of its employees and collaborators. It should be noted that the lockdowns imposed on several regions of China had negative effects on sales of new heavy duty vehicles in China and on the availability of electronic components, which are generally imported from that country, which are risk factors considered in the 2022-2025 Business Plan. This had particular repercussions on the results of the Metatron Group, a leading player in the Chinese OEM market, and specifically in the Heavy Duty segment.
In the course of the year ended as at 31 December 2022, all of the Group's branches performed their normal operating activities, with the exception of a lockdown period at the company located in China in the area of Shanghai.

In 2021, the turnover with respect to Russia and Ukraine represented around 4% of total consolidated revenues of the Group, while in 2022, the revenue earned by the Group in Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than 2% of the Group's total turnover. The management believes that the change in the scenario triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict does not substantially impact the assumptions and therefore the implementation of the 2022-2025 Business Plan, by virtue of the diversification of the Landi Renzo Group's business in terms of its presence in international markets worldwide and the products offered and technologies developed, as well as the fact that the growth of the Landi Renzo Group is driven, to a considerable extent, by infrastructural investments connected to the energy transition, expected to grow significantly, even in this new context, as they are driven by decarbonisation targets and the resulting focus and acceleration on the introduction of alternative energy sources (including natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen) in the various countries and geographical areas in which the Group operates.
Considering that exposure to the Russian and Ukrainian markets is currently limited for the Landi Renzo Group, the management, in light of the most recent developments in the conflict, has written off the receivables due from Ukrainian customers (Euro 148 thousand) and recognised a prudential write-down (of Euro 569 thousand) on the receivables due from Russian customers, taking into account the specific situation of each of them.

The 2022 Consolidated Non-Financial Report (the "Report") of the Group reports to our main stakeholders on the new developments, projects and results achieved during 2022 regarding financial, social and environmental performance.
Following on from last year, this Report is published annually. It is prepared in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Italian Legislative Decree 254/2016 (the "Decree") and with the GRI - Sustainability Reporting Standards 2021 (the "GRI Standards"), according to the "in accordance with the GRI Standards" option. The GRI Standards are, to date, the most common international standards for sustainability reporting.
In accordance with Article 2 of the Decree ("Scope of application"), the non-financial report of the Group is obligatory, as the "size requirement" for companies required to publish a non-financial report is deemed to be met.
This Report was subjected to a limited assurance engagement by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. according to the criteria indicated in the "International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 – Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" issued by the "International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board".
The Non-Financial Report is the tool used to communicate the Group's sustainability performance and is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.
The process of preparing the document, as well as the definition of its contents and the determination of the materiality of the issues discussed, is based on the principles of the 2021 GRI Universal Standards Guidelines and involved the company's heads of department (for more details refer to the paragraph "Significant impacts for the Landi Renzo Group").
The significance of the information included in the Report was determined by considering the impacts and responsibilities perceived in the economic, social and environmental context, the regulatory framework and the specific nature of the Group's industry, as well as the requirements and the expectations of the stakeholders.
In the early months of 2023, the Group initiated a transformation process that involved the identification of the Group Head of Business Development, M&A & Strategic Marketing as the manager of sustainable development. To this end, the Group will activate a process of reviewing its reporting system with a view to improving reporting to its stakeholders and defining its sustainability strategy.

The data and information included in the document refer to the year closed on 31 December 2022 and, where explicitly specified, to some significant projects pursued during the first months of 2023.
To provide an accurate representation of the sustainability performance, we have favoured the inclusion of aspects that are directly measurable, avoiding where possible reference to estimates, which, where required, are based on the best possible methods available or on sample surveys, and their use is indicated within the individual indicators. To enable the reader to assess the evolution of the sustainability performance, the quantitative information is presented over a three-year timeframe, with the exception of a few figures which are presented only for 2022.
The Report refers to Landi Renzo S.p.A. and companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis: the Italian subsidiaries (Metatron S.p.A., Safe S.p.A, Safe & Cec S.r.l.) and the foreign companies (Landi Renzo Polska Sp.Zo.O., L.R. Pak (Pvt) Limited, Landi Renzo RO S.r.l., Landi Renzo USA Corporation, AEB America S.r.l., Beijing Landi Renzo Autogas System Co. Ltd, Landi Renzo Pars Private Joint Stock Company, LR Industria e Comercio Ltda, IMW Industries LTD Shanghai, IMW Energy Tech LTD China, IMW Industries LTD Canada, IMW Industries del Perù SAC Peru, IMW Industries LTDA Colombia and Metatron Control Systems Co., Ltd). In this regard, please note that in this document, the term "Group" refers to the entire reporting scope, while the term "Landi Renzo Group" refers to the parent company Landi Renzo S.p.A. and its foreign subsidiaries. As in past years, the following companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis were excluded: Officine Lovato Private Limited, Landi International B.V., Idromeccanica and L.R. Pak (Pvt) Limited. The first three are not significant for the purposes of this non-financial report as they have no or a reduced number of personnel. The other one is instead in the liquidation phase. As concerns the Companies IMW Energy Tech LTD China and IMW Industries LTD Shanghai, the data have not been made available. Further restrictions of the perimeter are duly reported below. The restrictions of the perimeter in accordance with the Decree areas are indicated below.
Furthermore, during the 2022 reporting process, the decision was made to refine the calculation of certain values. In particular, the updated data are reported in the "Tax management" and "Promoting local economies" sections.

Technology, innovation, respect for the planet and for people are the fuel that every day drives the Landi Renzo Group towards new, increasingly sustainable ways of understanding its business. These are values shared by the entire Group and an integral part of its Mission and Corporate Strategy, as well as the basis on which it builds the Group's trust and credibility with respect to its reference stakeholders.
It is by continuously engaging with the outside world that Landi Renzo structures its way of doing business and its future growth and development trajectories.
This development can be achieved only with the continuous participation of stakeholders, understood as employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders and the community. Indeed, this is the only way it is possible to continue to innovate its products and services while making it possible to align social, environmental and economic performance.
The values, principles and actions underlying the Group's operations also guide its investment and business choices, with a view to environmental sustainability, safety and environmentally friendly growth. The collaborations and partnerships that the Landi Renzo Group has undertaken to engage in with leading companies capable of meeting the highest quality standards should be seen in this sense.
One example is the one with FPT Industrial, the former engines and transmissions division of CNH, which is now part of the new Iveco Group. The objective underlying this agreement is that of evolving and constantly remaining innovative and competitive in the mobility energy sources market by developing increasing expertise in methane and hydrogen based systems.
For the Landi Renzo Group, as for many companies, the year 2022 was characterised by a complex macroeconomic and social context, which is forcing companies to face new challenges and set new goals. The new normal in the wake of the difficult pandemic period was interrupted by the tragic war in Ukraine.
These conditions have made and are making the economic context increasingly more uncertain and unstable. The Landi Renzo Group is aware of the difficulties that the current situation is posing for all companies, but does not intend to hold back; rather, it strives to tackle them, like always, with passion and the utmost professionalism, to ensure a rosy and sustainable future.
This is why, for the year to come, the Group intends to consolidate its commitment to internationalisation, training and innovation aimed at the development of ecological mobility, especially through recourse to hydrogen and renewable energies such as biogas.
"We will work incessantly and passionately to offer innovative technological solutions in the field of alternative fuels, for a more environmentally sustainable present and future"
Chairman of the Board of Directors Stefano Landi


The Alternativein motion
Eco-mobility is acquiring increasing importance, although LPG and CNG are still the most common options when it comes to green transport solutions. In recent years, increasing interest is arising in alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen and biogas. These technologies are distinctive features of the Group's business know-how, which is characterised by a combination of research and manufacturing excellence.
The Group has consolidated experience in the design, manufacture and marketing of eco-compatible systems for the conversion of roadgoing vehicles to LPG and CNG. These solutions are designed with the highest level of customisation, in order to adapt to the specific requirements of the various models intended for two target markets:
Biogas, also known as RNG, is obtained from a number of sources, including organic waste such as animal manure, and landfills. This solution, usable by Landi Renzo products, drastically reduces carbon emissions and, unlike conventional natural gas, it is not a fossil fuel.
Manufacturers), with which active partnerships have been established;
the gas distribution companies and the networks of branches, dealers, independent importers and installers (AM - After Market).
The Group is a world leader thanks to its high level of environmental awareness, constant focus on the technological and qualitative development of its products, its flexible and efficient business model, and its readiness to listen to customer and market needs.
The offer of the Group is made up of systems and components for the conversion of petrol- and dieselengine vehicles to gas fuelling. The Group's strategic project is continuing with the adoption of products and solutions for CNG, LNG and hydrogen mobility, especially in the HGV sector.
Every product is the result of in-depth study and technological research which, over the years, has led to the filing of many patents. The many inventions of the Group's Research and Development centre have signalled a decisive evolution in the integration of mechanical and electronical components inside vehicles.
Thanks to the new acquisition, on 5 August 2021, of Metatron S.p.A., a company headquartered in Castel Maggiore (BO) specialised in research, development, production and marketing of pressure regulators and engine control units for alternative fuels and components for hydrogen technology, the Group once again emphasises the importance of continuous research into technologies that meet the highest product quality and innovation standards.
Furthermore, thanks to the SAFE&CEC Group, the Group covers the Clean Tech Solutions segment, referring to the design and manufacture of compressors for the processing and distribution of gas (CNG, RNG and Hydrogen). The broad range of SAFE&CEC Group products makes it possible to satisfy multiple market requirements for the construction of automotive CNG, biomethane (CNG and RNG) and hydrogen distribution stations and provide innovative solutions for gas recovery in the various processing phases. The Group strongly believes in promoting and guaranteeing sustainable development using natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen as primary energy sources.



In recent years, hydrogen has stimulated multiple waves of interest, with a significant impact, becoming the "energy source of the mobility of the future". In recent years, an increasing number of countries have developed a national timetable or strategy for the management of this energy source. Furthermore, from 31 October to 12 November 2021, the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Glasgow, during which 32 countries along with the European Union (EU) pledged to collaborate to accelerate the development and spread of clean hydrogen1.
In the domestic context, on 22 January 2021 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by ENEA and Confindustria, a veritable "hydrogen pact", to contribute to enhancing the technological leadership of Italian industry while also combining the potential of research, innovation and technological transfer within a systemwide vision for the country2. Significant investments totalling Euro 530 million have been planned in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) to experiment with the use of hydrogen in railway transport, both locally and regionally, and in road transport, particularly heavy duty transport. The investment will involve the entire supply chain: production of green hydrogen, transport, storage, construction of service stations and the purchase of trains.
In detail, the main components of the hydrogen supply chain can be broken down into multiple processes from production, to transport via pipeline (blended or by means of dedicated assets), truck or ship, up to end uses in the various application and consumption sectors. In terms of hydrogen production processes, aside from electrolysis, other processes may be considered as well, including the methane reforming process with storage or use of CO2, renewable fuel gasification processes and other innovative processes or ones currently being developed.
In industry, hydrogen can be used as feedstock and as fuel in processes that require high-temperature heat and which are difficult to directly electrify. In this regard, aside from the iron and steel, non-ferrous metals
1 Irena (2022) - "Geopolitics of the Energy Transformation - The Hydrogen Factor"
2 Confindustria (2021) - "Hydrogen action plan, Focus on Industrial Technologies"

and chemical sectors, the ceramics, paper, glass and food segments represent sectors where the hydrogen vector may contribute to their decarbonisation3.

"The challenges linked to the energy transition, the objectives set forth in European strategies and climate and energy policies support the need to develop demand for hydrogen in the various sectors and favour its use in the segments where the direct use of electricity from renewable sources is not possible, primarily in heavy duty transport (ships, aircraft, etc.)".
A number of manufacturers are developing internal combustion engines that use hydrogen: gaseous hydrogen is injected into the engine with methods analogous to those currently used for natural gas-fuelled engines. Therefore, hydrogen endothermic engines represent a technologically simpler and more economically advantageous solution. This allows engine manufacturers to look with greater interest at the use of hydrogen as a new fuel. Furthermore, current technologies make it possible to cut NOx emissions in those engines which, albeit at very low levels, have a higher impact on local air quality than electric engines4.
The Group is also active in that segment directly as well as through a series of alliances and partnerships. One of these is the alliance with the Canadian Hydrogenics Corporation, a global leader in the development of clean energy solutions, whereby the Group has taken another step forward towards zero-emissions mobility. The goal of this alliance is to design and develop hydrogen systems and components, defined as fuel cells, for Heavy-Duty vehicles globally, and further collaborations for supplying fuel systems for hydrogen vehicles, which is likely to involve the use of electrolysis technologies. Furthermore, in the beginning of 2021 Landi Renzo became part of H2-ICE, a partnership between five Italian companies, with Punch Torino and AVL Italia as the lead companies, and with the participation of Industria Italiana Autobus and TPER, in order to create the first 100% Italian hydrogen fuelled internal combustion engine. The recent acquisition in August 2021 of Metatron and in early 2022 of Idro Meccanica enabled the Group to consolidate and accelerate its

4 Confindustria (2021) - "Hydrogen action plan, Focus on Industrial Technologies"

strategy of positioning itself as a leader in the value chain of biomethane and hydrogen, two clean "energy sources" experiencing strong growth, which will play a fundamental role in the energy transition of the future. Landi Renzo once again confirms the ambitious objective of promoting sustainable transport solutions every day, which contribute to the decarbonisation of mobility, focusing on the development of advanced gas and hydrogen products and systems at global level.
FPT Industrial, the former engines and transmissions division of CNH, which is now part of the new Iveco Group, and Landi Renzo have signed two memoranda of understanding focusing separately on the evolution of systems based on CNG and hydrogen.
The new technology has been named "Hythane On-Board Blending" (OBB) and is capable of allowing hydrogen and methane to be mixed - to make Hythane or hydromethane - directly on board the vehicle or, to be more specific, in the combustion chamber.
The system works with a sophisticated dual rail arrangement, in which methane and hydrogen, coming from separate tanks, are mixed at the moment of injection with a dedicated calibration device that defines the optimal ratio between hydrogen and methane based on operating conditions. According to the two partner companies, this new solution can reduce CO2 emissions by 10% more than natural gas alone and by 20% more than diesel, and it is easy to introduce as it can function both with natural gas systems and with liquid gas systems, exploiting the architectures already existing on heavy duty vehicles such as S-Way CNG and LNG.
On the evening of Wednesday 12 July, at Casa Firjan, the Rio de Janeiro automotive repair and vehicle accessories industry union (Sindirepa-RJ) promoted the "Best of the Year 2022" awards ceremony to recognise companies that offer quality products and services to guarantee customer satisfaction. The winners of the seventh edition were decided on based on a direct vote by the members. Landi Renzo was recognised with the awards for the best gas kit and the best sequential regulator.

"Building a cleaner world and designing a better future for the next generations, abiding by the highest standards of social responsibility towards the territory, society and the environment and disseminating a culture of eco-sustainable mobility."
This is the mission of our Group, which offers a tangible contribution to this ambitious goal: for over 60 years, the Landi Renzo Group has been providing concrete and effective answers to environmental sustainability issues.
From the traditional green fuels such as LPG and CNG, we are now moving towards the new frontiers of the automotive industry: the Group regularly invests in the research and design of cutting-edge technologies, to transform futuristic projects into reality.
Testimony to the Group's commitment is the number of patents filed over the years; this has helped to open up new avenues, pointing to new horizons for the whole industry.

"Technology, innovation, respect for the planet and human beings; these are the values through which we will transform the present into the future we want to see".
Ever since its inception, the Group has been known for its profound belief that people are the fundamental added value in the international success of Landi Renzo. This awareness is borne out by the choice of values that inspire the Group's activities on a daily basis.


The Group pays particular care to the image of its brands, which are developed through marketing activities at international level and direct strategic communications with customers and end users. The brand name of the Landi Renzo Group was first conceived in 2015, to communicate the values shared by its companies: Innovation, Internationalisation and Continuous Training.





Guided by its business model, the Group also contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indeed, precisely through its mission and its business, the Group is committed to "Building a cleaner world and designing a better future for the next generations, abiding by the highest standards of social responsibility towards the territory, society and the environment and disseminating a culture of eco-sustainable mobility." This goal nearly

perfectly coincides with some of the SDGs, namely goals 11 ("sustainable cities and communities") and 13 ("climate action").
Furthermore, the SDGs represent a point of reference for the Group's strategies, directing policies towards environmental protection objectives, the protection of employment, the promotion of innovation and support for the entire community.

Climate change is already under way, and is destined to last: the increase in temperatures at global level, due in particular to the increase in levels of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, is inexorably altering ecosystem balances, with devastating social and economic consequences.
From the perspective of the Landi Renzo Group, climate change presents a new, greater range of risks, and with them new and more extensive challenges and opportunities linked to the business model and the products offered.
Climate change exposes the Group to two main types of risk:
The Landi Renzo Group is conducting a study on these matters to identify and evaluate the most impactful physical and transition risks.
To avoid the most serious consequences of climate change, the EU and all of its Member States have signed and ratified the Paris agreement, agreeing to the adoption of a long-term strategy for reducing emissions and its updated plans on the climate before the end of 2020, undertaking to reduce emissions by at least 55% by the end of 2030 compared to 1990 levels. In December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, which gave new impetus to the EU level climate policy and action by adopting measures aimed at establishing more ambitious targets in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and decarbonising the EU economy by 2050, in line with the Paris agreement.
An article from the newspaper Il Sole 24Ore highlights that the transport sector is responsible for nearly onefifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Obviously, the emissions are also and especially linked to the type of fuel used. There are a number of alternative fuels, from the most exotic and basically unused (DME, E95, methanol, etc.) to the more interesting ones like methane, biomethane, LPG and hydrogen. According to several studies comparing biomethane and other fuels, like diesel and petrol, in terms of direct CO2 emissions, biomethane emits 20% less than petrol and 5% less than diesel.
It is precisely in this context that the Landi Renzo Group is further strengthening its presence by working incessantly and passionately to propose innovative and sustainable solutions, while contributing towards opening up new pathways and establishing new horizons for the entire sector.
On 13 July 2020, with European Regulation 852 of 2020, the regulation on the Sustainable Finance Taxonomy entered into force, which classifies economic activities that can be defined as "sustainable", or all those activities which:
A series of delegated acts specify in detail the technical criteria that make it possible to establish under which conditions each economic activity makes a substantial contribution to at least one of the six environmental objectives identified, without causing significant damage to any of the other five ("Do No Significant Harm - DNSH" clause).
This information is a veritable practical guide aimed at investor companies and public institutions, with the goal of reporting information in the most complete and comparable manner possible, integrating sustainability topics in investment policies and improving ecological transition policies.
As of 1 January 2022, with respect to the data for the year 2021, in their non-financial reports companies have provided the information needed to meet the requirements of the Regulation. In particular, the information that the Taxonomy requires for non-financial companies refers to the following indicators:
Following the initial application of the Regulation for the year 2021, according to which non-financial companies were required to report on the proportion of taxonomy-eligible economic activities, starting from 1 January 2023, with respect to the data for the year 2022, non-financial companies are asked to report on both the proportion of eligible activities and on the proportion of sustainable, or "aligned", activities. To understand whether eligible activities can also be considered aligned, companies are asked to verify:

Indeed, aside from verifying compliance with technical criteria, the organisation must prove through the procedures enacted that it guarantees compliance with the OECD guidelines for multinational companies and the United Nations guiding principles on companies and human rights, including the principles and rights established by the eight fundamental conventions identified in the declaration of the International Labour Organisation on fundamental principles and rights at work and the International Declaration of Human Rights.
In order to meet the regulation's requirements, in 2022 the Group continued the analyses of its eligible activities, to understand whether and which ones may be considered aligned as well. To do this, it evaluated the technical screening criteria, the DNSH criteria and the Social Minimum Safeguards.
After concluding these analyses, a high level of respect for the technical screening criteria was found. Indeed, the Group is continuously investing in the development of the use of alternative energies and engaging in significant partnerships in the gas and hydrogen segments, while at the same time providing concrete and effective responses to environmental sustainability issues.
With respect to the assessment of the DNSH criteria and the requirements relating to Social Minimum Safeguards, the analysis performed showed that they have been deployed via specific actions and that they are aspects that are taken into consideration in business activities. However, several criteria were not formalised in policies and procedures, so, in order to guarantee the utmost respect for the Taxonomy Regulation 852/2020, the Group deems it appropriate to perform additional in-depth analyses concerning the assessment of its aligned activities.
The first phase of the process identified, through an analysis of the activities included in the Taxonomy Regulation, those applicable to the Group's business considering the description provided by the annexes to the Regulation and the potentially applicable NACE codes.
On the basis of these analyses, the Group's activities that may contribute to the achievement of the climate change mitigation and adaptation objectives are:
| Description of Taxonomy-Eligible activity | Applicable | Reference consolidated financial | |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPI | statement item | ||
| 3.1 | Turnover | Net Sales Revenues | |
| Manufacture of renewable energy technologies | CapEx Tangible fixed assets |
||
| OpEx | Production operating expenses - general | ||
| services, industrial services and raw |

| material costs. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.2 | Manufacture of equipment for the production and use of hydrogen. |
Turnover | Net Sales Revenues |
| CapEx | Tangible fixed assets | ||
| Production operating expenses - general | |||
| OpEx | services, industrial services and raw | ||
| material costs |
In this context, please note that the clarifications and interpretations of the regulation provided by the EU Commission in the FAQs published in December 2022 explained that if costs and investments in research and development activities are an integral part of the economic activity contemplated by the annexes to the Climate Delegated Act, they should be counted directly as part of the reference economic activity. As a result, the Group allocated research and development costs, previously classified as inherent in activity 9.1, to the economic activity to which such research (as performed for product technological innovation purposes) is aimed, or activity 3.1 concerning the manufacture of renewable energy technologies and activity 3.2 regarding the manufacture of technologies for the use of hydrogen. Therefore, activity 9.1 is no longer included within the Group's eligible activities in reporting for the year 2022.
On the basis of what is required by the Regulation, the percentages of eligible and aligned activities were calculated for the year 2022 and include all Group companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
On the basis of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2022 (the "Financial Statements"), for each eligible activity identified, the percentage of turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) was calculated with respect to the respective total values.
As set forth in the Regulation, the proportion of eligible turnover represents the portion of net revenues deriving from services or products, including intangible, deriving from taxonomy-aligned economic activities divided by total net revenues. For the year 2022, the Group performed the following activities for the production of goods or services considered taxonomy-eligible:
Starting from Net Sales Revenues, in order to identify the proportion deemed taxonomy-eligible, the

proportion of revenues relating to the sale of devices that use LPG was subtracted, as it was not deemed eligible.
The CapEx KPI was calculated by dividing the value that includes eligible capital expenditure by the value in the denominator constituting total capital expenditure.Specifically, to calculate CapEx, the numerator is represented by additions to eligible tangible and intangible fixed assets and rights of use during the year, before amortisation and depreciation and any revaluations and excluding changes due to fair value. On the other hand, the denominator includes total capital expenditure and increases in rights of use, before amortisation and any revaluations, and excluding changes due to fair value.
For the year 2022, the Group incurred the following capitalised costs deemed taxonomy-eligible:
The OpEx KPI was calculated by dividing the value that includes the share of eligible operating expenses by the value in the denominator constituting total operating expenses.Specifically, to calculate OpEx, the numerator is represented by the total value of uncapitalised indirect research and development costs and any other direct expense relating to the maintenance and ordinary repair of property, plant and equipment necessary to guarantee the continuous and effective functioning of such activities.On the other hand, the denominator consists of the total value of the above-mentioned costs.
For the year 2021, the Group incurred the following operating expenses deemed taxonomy-eligible:
The results of these assessments are illustrated in summary form in the following table and exhaustively in the tables provided in the Appendix which respect the templates set forth in Annex II to EU Regulation 2021/2178.
| KPI | Total (kEUR) | % of taxonomy-aligned activities |
% of taxonomy-eligible activities (aligned and non-aligned) |
% of taxonomy-non eligible activities |
|---|---|---|---|---|


| Turnover | 306,297 | 0% | 51.5% | 48.5% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CapEx | 7,442 | 0% | 57.3% | 42.7% |
| OpEx | 2,200 | 0% | 90.9% | 9.1% |
The analyses were performed on the basis of currently available interpretations of Taxonomy regulations, as well as taking into account when possible the official clarifications provided by the EU Commission concerning the practical application of the regulation, in addition to the preparation of the relative disclosures. In this context, consistent with the evolution of interpretations and regulatory requirements, the information presented in this chapter may be subject to additional updates and revisions.
With regard to the disclosure pursuant to Art. 8, paragraphs 6 and 7 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, which requires the use of the templates provided in Annex XII for the communication of activities linked to nuclear energy and fossil gases, note that all of those templates have been omitted as they are not representative of the company's activities.

Again for 2022, the Group updated its materiality analysis in order to align the contents of its Non-Financial Report with its business strategy, mission, corporate values and strategic social and environmental priorities. This analysis was performed considering the GRI 3 - Material Topics Standards, which provide a guide for the process of identifying material topics, defining a new element, or a focus on the impacts generated by the company and their prioritisation. The GRI Universal Standards 2021 concentrate on the impacts (positive, negative, current and potential) of organisations on the economy, the environment and people, including those on human rights. In the revised standards, "material topics" are defined as those topics that represent the most significant impacts, superseding the materiality "matrix" concept in favour of a list (also in macro-categories) prioritising the material topics and the threshold established for reporting, set on the basis of the evaluation of the most significant impacts.

To update the material topics, we used a methodological approach based on the new elements introduced by the GRI 3 – Material Topics standard.


The process was broken down into four distinct phases:
• One-to-one interviews were carried out with the Landi Renzo management in order to evaluate impacts through a vote concerning the Magnitude of the impact associated with the topic and the Probability of occurrence of the impact.
• The assessments thus obtained were aggregated in order to obtain a value for each topic (as the product of the magnitude and the probability of the individual risks and opportunities relating to the same topic) in order to identify the significance of each impact and the prioritisation.
The assessment of the impacts identified for each material topic was carried out through one-to-one interviews with the first lines of the company, which evaluated the impacts relating to their own area of competence, providing an assessment for each material topic on the basis of the impacts it may generate on the economy, the environment and people.
Specifically, twelve members of the Landi Renzo management were asked to express an assessment on the magnitude and probability of the proposed impacts on the economy, people and the environment from the inside-out perspective. As regards magnitude, the assessment drivers were the scope, significance and remediability of the impacts, while for the probability, they referred to the period of time within which the impact took place or is likely to take place (e.g., more than 10 years, between 3 and 5 years).

A description is provided below of the material topics and the positive and negative impacts identified.
| Material topic | Description of the topic | Main impacts generated | |

The positive and negative, current and potential impacts identified which may influence the creation of value for the company are set forth below. The topics were classified in nine categories: environment, human resources, local communities, supply chain, products, innovation, customers, institutions and economic performance.
The list below is the result of the analysis just described.


The data are presented by dividing the assessments of negative impacts from those of positive impacts, prioritised. However, for reasons of methodological compliance with the GRI, both tables present the complete list of all material topics subject to assessment, net of the type of impact (positive and/or negative) associated with each of them in the identification phase.
In light of these criteria, the most material topics with positive impacts are therefore:

* For this issue (which is not directly linked to an Aspect covered by the GRI Standard Guidelines), Landi Renzo reports on its chosen management approach.
To establish and maintain lasting relationships with stakeholders, it is fundamental to analyse their various requirements in order to establish mutually favourable agreements and interests based on transparency, trust and consent to decisions.

.
In addition to the risks outlined in the Annual Financial Report, in the section entitled Other Information, the Group's business activities are exposed to non-financial risks mainly relating to employee health and safety, personnel management, safeguarding the environment, corruption, human rights and the supply chain. With regard to aspects covered by the certification of our management systems, these risks were assessed before adopting these systems, whereas the risks relating to aspects not covered by the certified management systems were identified by considering the Group's typical business activities and the characteristics of the target market. An overview of these risks follows, while the subsequent sections contain more detailed information about the policies and actions adopted by the Group to manage them.
The main risks are linked to the workers engaged in production, logistics, laboratories and workshops, as they are exposed to the typical industrial risks of work procedures in engineering companies, in particular: the design, development and production of pressure regulators, valves, electronic devices and accessories for fuel gas systems for internal combustion engines. These risks consist specifically of mechanical and chemical risks, in addition to the risks of handling loads, both manually and with machines such as forklifts, and all those risks resulting from procedures with electronic equipment and testing. To control these risks, in 2010 Landi Renzo S.p.A. adopted an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) and Policy. For Safe

S.p.A., the company's occupational health and safety management is implemented to meet legal requirements. Currently there is no health and safety management system; this system will be implemented and certified in the course of 2023 pursuant to the ISO 45001 standard. The Company manages risks relating to occupational health and safety by defining a safety organisational chart which shows the appointment of a Safety Manager, who reports to the employer, an external Health and Safety Manager, an internal Health and Safety Officer, safety managers and supervisors, in addition obviously to the compulsory figures devoted to emergency management. This organisation also concerns the activities carried out outside the company scope at customer or supplier locations.
In accordance with the requirements of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008, the Company Metatron S.p.A. formed a cohesive, detailed body of work instructions and procedures covering all safety activities (safety training, working methods, the use of personal protection equipment etc.), and goes into greater detail for activities that involve specific risks. The system is based on accurate risk mapping performed through the Risk Assessment Document with an analysis of the main risks and the measures to be adopted for their prevention. From November 2019, during the periodic audit performed by the certifying entity Bureau Veritas, the Parent Company Landi Renzo S.p.A. was certified as meeting and complying with the requirements of the new ISO 45001:2018 standard (for more details, see "Protection of health and safety").
The main environmental risks for the Group concern the typical activities of an engineering company with a low environmental impact, and include:
All the hazards and risks to the environment have been identified and assessed in accordance with legislation, and all the technical and organisational safety and prevention measures have been implemented. The assessment did not reveal any significant risks of unauthorised dumping, or improper management of special waste.
The Group operates in countries with a risk of corruption which is medium-high (Italy, Brazil, Romania, Colombia and Peru) and high (China, India, Iran, Argentina and Pakistan). With the extension of the Group's scope to the subsidiaries Metatron and SAFE&CEC, and in particular for the latter, the risk, originally limited only to corruption between private parties now extends to public counterparties as well.
To control this risk, Landi Renzo S.p.A. has introduced a whistleblowing process, which will soon be extended to all Group companies, by activating and making available to all 231 Model recipients a specific email box which they can use to report any illegal acts or breaches of the Model. The channel ensures the confidentiality of the whistleblower throughout the process (for more information see the paragraph "Organisational Model

pursuant to Italian Leg. Decree 231/2001 and fight against corruption"). Although Safe S.p.A. has not established a whistleblowing channel, it has adopted a Code of Ethics which governs the behaviours to be adopted by employees, also in order to prevent corruption.
No episodes of corruption were found in 2022.
The Group pays great attention to avoiding the potential risks that may arise during the personnel selection process, such as a lack of transparency in the sourcing of candidates, the chosen candidates not meeting the criteria, subjective skills appraisals, the initial terms and conditions of employment not matching the candidate's skills and experience, or discrimination. Another significant risk is the unavailability of qualified staff at local level, in some of the countries in which the Group operates.
There may be additional risks due to the quantitative and qualitative unsuitability of human capital with respect to the business model and the development of strategic business requirements, or unsuitable or insufficient training.
Particular attention is always paid to the issue of employee relations and industrial relations (in this case, the greatest risks relate to union disputes or widespread complaints that may lead to general strikes).
The main risks of managing diversity, whether gender-related or of other types, relate to reputational damage for the Group in cases where diversity issues may arise.
Some of the geographical areas where the Group has its production sites present potential human rights risks, such as child labour, forced labour, or other violations of the rights of employees and individuals in general. These activities are appropriately governed by company policies and procedures, particularly in the countries with the greatest potential risks, which are India, China, Iran, Pakistan, Brazil, Peru and Colombia. In other countries, such as Poland, there is a dedicated telephone line to take reports from employees. For the Landi Renzo Group and the Company Safe S.p.A., these activities are subject to the control of the Supervisory Body, which has set up a specific whistleblowing channel of which all Model addressees have been informed. In this regard, the following email addresses can be used for the respective Companies: [email protected] and [email protected].
In addition, for the Landi Renzo Group, the whistleblowing channel is visible in the Investor Relations section of the website www.landirenzogroup.com (for more information, see the paragraph "Human rights, diversity and equal opportunities").
The Company Metatron S.p.A. follows national and international directives as concerns human rights, which are constantly monitored.
There are no significant human rights risks in the Group's Italian companies.
The main environmental risks along the Group's supply chain, with particular reference to the direct suppliers of materials, concern risks relating to pollution of the soil and water due to the incorrect disposal of water and liquids for machine maintenance and cooling, in addition to atmospheric pollution caused by open dumps with raw materials for steel production and fumes caused by processing plastics and ferrous materials. From a social perspective, and in terms of respecting human rights, given that most of the Group's suppliers operate in Italy and Europe, the risks relate to suppliers not complying with reference standards.
To mitigate these risks, the Group has set up specific controls throughout the supply chain (for more details, see the paragraph "Suppliers").
Corporate governance is the set of rules, systems and mechanisms designed to effectively implement the organisation's decision-making processes in the interest of all the Group's stakeholders. The parent company Landi Renzo S.p.A. complies with the Corporate Governance Code drawn up by the Committee for the Corporate Governance of listed companies. A traditional governance system is in place, which includes three bodies: the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Board of Directors is the governing body that controls the company, with powers allocated in accordance with legislation and statute. It operates to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of its functions. The directors act and make decisions to achieve the aim of creating value for shareholders, and report on management issues during the Shareholders' Meeting. With regard to appointing and replacing the Board of Directors and/or its members, the company bylaws require the board members to be elected on the basis of candidate lists, in accordance with the methods outlined in detail in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure (which is attached to this document) and the existing legislation on
gender representation. On 29 April 2022, the Shareholders' Meeting appointed the new Board of Directors for 2022-2024, and set the number of members at 9. The new Board of Directors, which met straight after the Shareholders' Meeting, confirmed Cristiano Musi as Chief Executive Officer and also appointed him as Director General.

There are no internal board committees other than those stipulated by the Corporate Governance Code, with the exception of the Related Party Transactions Committee, in order to comply with the requirements of the related party regulations.
The company has not set up any committees that carry out the functions of two or more of the committees set out in the Corporate Governance Code, nor reserved these functions for the entire Board of Directors led by the Chairperson, nor has it allocated those functions differently compared to the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code.
The following committees are under the Board of Directors:

The Appointment and Remuneration Committee has the task of formulating proposals for the Board of Directors (in the absence of the interested parties if they are part of the Committee) regarding the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and that of key directors. It also periodically evaluates the criteria adopted for the remuneration of key managers, supervising the application of these guidelines and providing general recommendations. The Appointment and Remuneration Committee consists of three directors, i.e. Ms Pamela Morassi, Ms Anna Maria Artoni and Mr Massimo Luchini. All the members have suitable financial and accounting experience and knowledge. With regard to determining the remuneration of the Board members, an amount is allocated by the Shareholders' Meeting for the duration of the directors' mandate. The emoluments may be formed of a fixed amount and a variable amount that reflects the financial results and or/objectives achieved by the Company. For the purpose of obtaining STAR qualification, the stock exchange regulations require the Appointment and Remuneration Committee to make sure that a significant part of the executive directors' and top management's remuneration is in the form of bonuses.
See the report on remuneration, published in accordance with Article 123-ter of the Testo Unico (Consolidation Act) for information about the general remuneration policy, share-based remuneration plans, the remuneration of the executive directors, the director general, key managers and non-executive directors.
Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors are selected on the basis of their ability to meet the requirements of professionalism, independence and integrity in accordance with laws and regulations. The Company's Board of Statutory Auditors was nominated at the Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022 and will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements on 31 December 2024.

The ICRMS of the Landi Renzo Group is the set of rules, procedures and organisational structures designed to enable the company to conduct its business correctly and in line with set objectives, through a suitable risk identification, measurement, management and monitoring process. The Board of Directors identifies the nature and level of risk compatible with the strategic objectives identified in the Company's strategic, industrial and financial plans. Its assessment includes an assessment of all the risks that may be significant from the perspective of sustainability of the Company's activities over the medium to long term. The Board of Directors has also defined the guidelines for the ICRMS, with the support of the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee; the system is seen as an integrated process that is applied across all the company's activities, and is based on the international principles of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).
The purpose of the internal control and risk management system is to help the Landi Renzo Group achieve its performance and profit objectives, obtain reliable economic/financial information, and ensure compliance with existing legislation, to avoid damage to reputation or financial losses. In this process, particular importance is given to the identification of corporate objectives and to the classification and control of business risks, by implementing specific actions to contain these risks.
There are various types of potential business risks - strategic, operational (related to the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations), reporting (related to the reliability of economic/financial information), compliance (related to compliance with existing legislation and regulations to avoid damage to the company's reputation and/or financial losses). In response, the Internal Audit Department has carried out a risk mapping activity for Landi Renzo and for the equity investments that have recently been consolidated. This is then evaluated by the Control and Risks Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Supervisory Body. Based on the risk map, and according to the level of risk represented in it, Group Internal Audit conducts specific audits (which are identified in the risk based Audit Plan). The findings are then reported as necessary to the Control and Risks Committee and to the Supervisory Body, as well as being reported quarterly to the Board of Statutory Auditors, and annually to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors of the Landi Renzo Group assesses the effectiveness and suitability of the internal control and risk management System annually, based on the information and evidence obtained with the support of the preliminary work done by the Control and Risks Committee, by the Internal Audit manager and by the Supervisory Body, created pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.
The Board of Directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A. (hereinafter, "Landi Renzo" or the "Company") adopted its "Organisation, Management and Control Model" ("231 Model") in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Decree") on 20 March 2008. A Supervisory Body ("SB") was also appointed, which has its own budget and was assigned the duty of supervising the functioning and observance of the 231 Model, which currently consists of Jean-Paule Castagno (Chairman), Domenico Sardano (external member) and Filippo Alliney (external member and head of the Internal Audit Department).

The 231 Model - drafted following adequate preliminary work, aimed at preparing the mapping of areas at "risk of an offence" and reinforcing existing controls, in compliance with the guidelines issued by Confindustria (Italian industry confederation) and in accordance with the relevant case law - sets out a series of standards for behaviour, procedures and management activities, in addition to powers and mandates designed to prevent the offences expressly outlined in the Decree.
Following its adoption in 2008, the Model was periodically updated in order to incorporate regulatory updates concerning the predicate offences of administrative liability pursuant to the Decree.
Following the in-depth corporate reorganisation, at the proposal of the SB, a revision of the 231 Model was planned in order not only to incorporate the regulatory changes that took place in the meantime but, moreover, to formalise the current controls specifically with reference to relevant business processes, in order to continue to fulfil the requirements of soundness and functioning of the internal control system over time in light of the Group's changed operating conditions; this revision will also take into account the results of the new Strategic Plan as well as evolutions in the market context caused by COVID-19.
As far as the whistleblowing system is concerned, in accordance with Italian Law 179 of 30 November 2017 – entitled "Provisions to safeguard persons reporting offences or irregularities they receive knowledge of in connection with public or private working relations" and in keeping with current national and international best practices – the "Procedure for the management of reporting to the supervisory body (whistleblowing)" was adopted, subject to specific training for all Company representatives. Furthermore, in compliance with that procedure, on one hand, an ad hoc email address, disclosed to all recipients of the 231 Model and visible in the Investor Relations section of the website www.landirenzogroup.com, has been activated, while on the other hand a series of "physical" mailboxes have been installed for the submission of reports. These channels allow all employees and collaborators to write and make reports, even anonymously, directly to the SB, by encouraging the reporting of illegal acts or violations of the 231 Model. During the current year, no reports regarding the offence of corruption were received by the SB. Safe S.p.A. (hereinafter, "Safe") also has its own 231 Model, the effectiveness and suitability of which is evaluated by the SB, consisting of Jean-Paule Castagno (Chairman), Sara Fornasiero (external member) and Pasquale Grella (external member).
The SB of the Company sends the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee a written report every six months on actual knowledge and implementation of the 231 Model as well as the supervisory activities carried out. The implementation of suitable regular and/or sporadic information flows to the Supervisory Body is another important tool for the Board to meet its legal monitoring responsibilities, and hence for the effectiveness of the Model in preventing liability. The SB coordinates its audit plan with that of the Internal Audit Department, receiving periodic updates.
The audits conducted by Internal Audit did not reveal any conduct or reportable offences or any violations of the 231 Model, nor was there any other act or conduct that amounted to a breach of the provisions of the Decree.
Specifically with regard to corruption, all internal divisions of the Landi Renzo Group operating in Italy underwent an assessment, and were thus included in the risk mapping activity conducted by Internal Audit.

Over the next three years, Internal Audit's monitoring will also include Safe S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A., which just recently joined the Group.
Also as part of activities intended to strengthen the internal control system and consolidate a corporate culture meant to prevent the risk of offences, Landi Renzo and Safe have their own Code of Ethics which expresses the corporate conduct principles that must inspire every part of the production process and must be constantly observed in partnership and collaboration relationships as well as commercial dealings, also illustrating the rules of conduct aimed at preventing the commission of offences and all conduct conflicting with the Company's values.
The Code of Ethics was appropriately shared with all representatives of the Landi Renzo Group by email. Every update is distributed via an email communication sent directly by the Chairman.
Reports concerning any breaches of the 231 Model and the Code of Ethics are received and processed exclusively by the SB.
Furthermore, an e-learning module has been activated in order to ensure that all Company representatives receive periodic training.
The Metatron Group has also adopted a Code of Ethics and implements training and communication programmes to ensure that employees are fully aware of and understand the Code of Ethics.
Cyber security has become a veritable priority and a commonplace topic, with increasingly frequent cyber attacks caused by the pervasiveness of technological instruments and their now irreplaceable use. Any company across every sector is increasingly more exposed to risks deriving from hacker attacks and phishing. These critical situations can be identified at individual as well as company level, so companies need to set up essential oversight mechanisms to boost their capacity to respond and defend themselves, including organisational, technological and awareness-raising measures. Specifically, the Group had adopted a number of security measures:
In any event, as Landi Renzo was recently struck by a hacker attack, in addition to the measures listed above it promptly activated an incident response task force consisting of two companies specialised in IT security that worked on cleaning up the system, which they restored in its entirety using backup data.
Furthermore, as soon as it understood that it had been subject to a cyber attack, the company was isolated from the outside to investigate what had taken place. The task force of experts confirmed the full integrity of the backup systems, which made it possible to significantly reduce the impact of the damage.

Landi Renzo informed all applicable institutional offices of the event and took the necessary measures to protect the interests of the company, implementing the required actions to remediate the cyber attack, protect the data of customers, suppliers, employees and collaborators and also prevent the occurrence of similar events in the future. It was the Hive hacker group that breached the servers of the Reggio Emilia corporate giant, the same one that also struck Trenitalia and Rete Ferroviaria Italiana. The attackers connected to the infrastructure using unlawfully obtained VPN credentials. Following the analyses performed by the CTI (Cyber Threat Intelligence) team, an exfiltration of data present in the IT system, which also included personal data, was confirmed. The breach did not concern the cloud IT system used to manage the employee payroll. Fortunately, the infrastructure and personal data were restored from the backup, therefore the loss of availability was exclusively temporary.
Following the hacker attack, the company decided to adopt cybersecurity measures above and beyond those already in place. In particular:
Multi-factor authentication for remote connections via VPN;
Activation of a CTI service to scan the dark web and identify potential exchanges of data relating to the Landi network (e.g., access credentials, description of vulnerabilities);

The Group believes strongly in its people, and considers them to be a fundamental pillar for the achievement of long-term success. The creation of an inclusive work environment in which people are appreciated, while promoting sources of cultural enrichment by making significant investments in training, is one of the principal ways used to manage personnel. This is why the company is committed to fostering inclusion and promoting diversity, while also consistently focusing on the continuous improvement of its human resources strategies.
With the conviction that success also depends on its people, the Group encourages a recruitment policy that prioritises the search for young candidates with significant potential who are offered stimulating development paths.
The Landi Renzo Group manages the personnel recruitment process through the People Strategy Department. At the start of the year, the staffing requirements for the entire Landi Renzo Group are identified, and one or more recruitment channels are chosen for each position. The main sources are recruitment firms, schools, universities, professional technical institutes, LinkedIn and unsolicited applications. To evaluate the technical profile and potential of each candidate, the recruitment process involves interviews, motivational and technical tests. During this phase, the opportunities available and company expectations are clarified in the interests of mutual understanding. The People Strategy department draws up a shortlist for each vacancy. The Department Manager will then interview the applicants to complete the recruitment process and select the right candidate.
Once the candidate has been hired, a welcome pack is prepared, containing all the information they need to integrate into the company as well as a personal training plan; get-to-know-you meetings are held so the new member of staff can become operational quickly and efficiently.
The recruitment policy adopted by Metatron S.p.A. calls for the identification of figures to be hired through collaboration between the management and the heads of the entity. Once the new profile to be hired is outlined, it is shared with the recruitment companies and at the same time, spontaneously submitted applications are also viewed. In the second place, the CVs received from recruitment firms are analysed internally, and meetings are scheduled. During meetings, based on the role of the person to be hired, the personal and professional qualities and company expectations concerning the role in question are analysed in detail. The selection process concludes with a final step of candidate interviews.
As concerns Safe S.p.A., the personnel recruitment process is managed by the HR Department. Once the company's needs are identified, the figure sought is introduced via the main recruitment sources and at the same time, the spontaneous applications submitted are viewed. Afterwards, interviews are held and motivational and technical tests are given to evaluate the technical profile and potential of each candidate. The selection process ends with the preparation by the HR Department of a short list, which is provided to the

Department Director who will proceed with candidate interviews and select the most suitable person for the role.
Also thanks to recent acquisitions, at the end of 2022 the Group had 935 employees. During the year 2022, the Group's average workforce was more than 900 people.

The Group has always been known for its multidisciplinary roles and the broad range of skills within its organisation.
In terms of the workforce's educational qualifications, these are in line with the business requirements: approximately 26% of employees have a lower middle school diploma, 26% have a university degree, and 48% have an upper middle school diploma.

The more junior categories engage with the Group business via work experience and apprenticeship schemes. 22 work experience schemes were set up in 2022 and were mainly implemented at the Group's Italian sites; this figure is slightly up on previous years, as it takes into account the recent acquisitions as well.
The average age of employees during the year was 40.2 years. Indeed, there is a prevalence of staff in the 36- 50 age range (45% of total employees).

Human resource management in the Group is geared towards integration and respect for diversity, and focuses on preventing any type of discrimination based on gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, appearance, religion or political opinion. Work-life balance and equal opportunities are guaranteed through part-time employment contracts for the company SAFE S.p.A. which are mainly used by female personnel, who in many cases exceed the percentage of part-time employees provided for in the relevant collective labour agreement and flexible working agreements.
Aside from guaranteeing respect for diversity and equal opportunities, the Group has adopted a number of tools to promote the spread of respect for universal human rights and respect for local and national communities at Group level, via the adoption of the Group Code of Ethics, and at individual subsidiary level by defining specific Codes of Conduct or Regulations. Note that the Chinese company Beijing Landi Renzo Autogas System has adopted an "Employee Code of Conduct", while the Argentinian company AEB America has a Code of Ethics that sets out the mission, principles, values and main ethical and professional behaviours to be respected within the organisation. The Argentinian company also has an "Internal Regulations Manual" approved by Top Management, which is circulated to all staff. It also contains a procedure for resolving disputes or issues raised by staff (the first port of call to respond to requests to resolve issues is the head of Department; after that, if the response/solution is not satisfactory, it is possible to request authorisation to take the issue to a higher level or to the HR Department). Landi Renzo RO S.r.l. has a "Labour Code", and
internal company rules. Furthermore, the Company Landi Renzo USA Corporation has adopted an "Employee Handbook" containing all company policies, which is provided to all employees when they are hired. Lastly, based on the information available at the Group's head office, in 2022 no areas at risk of breaching human rights were identified, nor were there any reports of cases of discrimination or violation of these rights.

The quality of industrial relations is a key issue for the Landi Renzo Group, whose aim is to build a collaborative, proactive relationship with the trade union representatives. Over the years, the Landi Renzo Group has always applied a policy of debate and open, transparent dialogue with the trade union organisations.
All the staff at the Landi Renzo Group's Italian companies are covered by the National Collective Labour Agreement for the metalworking industry. In the course of 2021, contractual harmonisation took place for the personnel who at the end of 2020 were transferred to Landi Renzo S.p.A. after the merger by incorporation of Lovato Gas S.p.A.; therefore, starting from 2021, the National Collective Labour Agreement for the metalworking industry has been applied.
For Landi Renzo S.p.A., a supplementary company agreement is in force which is valid for the 2021-2023 threeyear period. Its conditions guarantee variable elements such as a performance bonus for all workers in addition to favourable conditions especially as regards other economic benefits like company welfare.
In the early months of 2022, discussions began with the trade unions concerning the company's decision to contract out the via Nobel warehouse; there were no impacts on workers, who maintained their employment

relationship in force with the company and were assigned to new working areas. During the discussions, the workers engaged in a strike for a few hours.
In addition, in October and November, the ordinary temporary lay-off scheme for extraordinary events was applied due to the hacker attack which temporarily blocked the entire IT structure and led to a temporary reduction in activities, especially in the production and logistics areas.
As concerns Safe S.p.A., the company has had second-level contracts in place since November 2017, when the first supplementary agreement, still in force, was signed, which defines more favourable conditions than the reference National Collective Labour Agreements.
The Managers and employees of the Safe S.p.A. companies are covered by the National Collective Agreement for Industrial Executives and the National Collective Agreement for the small and medium sized metalworking industry (Confapi).
All the staff of Metatron S.p.A. are covered by the National Collective Labour Agreement for the metalworking industry.
The Group considers staff training to be a fundamental priority in personal development, and to increase the company's assets. Developing, optimising and spreading knowledge and cross-cutting skills will ensure effectiveness, flexibility and a tendency towards innovation. The learning process is seen as an ongoing experience that accompanies people throughout their career. People's knowledge and ability to innovate are critical for success and must be nurtured continuously. In order to optimise the management of its training programme, in 2014 the Landi Renzo Group introduced a procedure that allows management to define the needs for each job description and to identify the specific skills needed for each role. Each year, in collaboration with management, People Strategy defines a training plan based on the skills required for each employee and the specific training needs for the area, identified by the departmental leader or head of department.
In line with the objectives established for the year, in the course of 2022 work was done especially on managerial and safety training and instruction for production area personnel. Two important individual managerial courses continued, with a specific focus on Innovation Management and Project Management. All safety training obligations established by law were met, and the work that began in 2022 for the development of safety initiatives in the production area continued, in order to prevent workplace accidents. In the production areas, specific courses were held on several lines in production (Loccioni predictive maintenance, VOC master transition methods). Lastly, space was also dedicated to technical and transversal training, with Excel refresher courses and technical workshops for R&D area personnel (BSIM, CAE Tour).
In continuity with 2021, during 2022 all new recruits received an anti-corruption (whistleblowing) e-learning course in their on-boarding kit.
Furthermore, the People Strategy Department monitors and evaluates the training activities organised. A satisfaction questionnaire is administered to a sample of participants at the end of each course. The

questionnaire focuses on the topics under discussion, the competence and capability of the trainer, and the organisation of the course.
The courses delivered by the Company Landi Renzo in 2022 were assessed overall as very satisfactory, with an average score of 4.08 on a scale from 1 (unsatisfactory) to 5 (excellent). Following the completion of the annual training plan, the courses are assessed in terms of their efficiency in delivering knowledge, with an evaluation sheet to be given to all the departmental managers.
With regard to Safe S.p.A., in 2022 more than 152 hours of training were provided in a number of areas, in some cases implementing on-the-job training. Safe S.p.A. set itself the goal of raising the awareness of the heads of the reference area with a view to precisely recording employee training hours.
For Metatron S.p.A., employee training is managed annually based on the Training Plan drafted by the Head of HR in collaboration with the company management.
The objective for 2023 is to fully resume technical training and continuous education for the Research & Development area and language training, which was suspended in the course of 2022.
Furthermore, in keeping with 2022, Landi Renzo aims to launch manager growth and development projects.
During the year 4,108 hours of training were delivered to 395 people, amounting to a total investment of more than Euro 200 thousand.

In 2022, on average more than 10 hours of training were provided per employee, out of a total of 395 employees. In detail, by professional category, the training hours for managers came to 15.3% (15.3% men), for middle managers 13.1% (14.6% men and 8.5% women), for clerical workers 12.3% (12.6% men and 11.1% women) and 7.6% manual workers (9.7% men and 4.6% women).
The Landi Renzo Group's training offer regained strength this year, after a difficult 2022, with nearly 100 training sessions for a total of 1000 training hours and more than 1000 people involved. An additional 18 calibrations were added to our database available to workshops.
Landi Renzo training courses represent a crucial aspect for workshop growth and continuous education, and also provide the opportunity to acquire technical information dedicated to the pre-sale and after-sale phases. All courses provide the right to receive a participation certification issued in the name of the course participant. Certain courses include a learning test intended to identify any critical areas.
All participants are always invited to offer suggestions to ensure continuous improvements in available training. The training offered includes various levels:

Training of the foreign sales/installers network was primarily monitored by the Landi Renzo branches and/or local outsourcers.
In 2009 the Landi Renzo Group's Italian companies introduced a Management by Objectives (MBO) system and individual performance appraisals.
In 2022, for the companies Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A., also by virtue of the particularly difficult and unpredictable business environment, the individual performance assessment process was not completed. On the other hand, for Safe S.p.A., individual assessment and development was carried out based on three methods:
• An assessment system is currently being defined which will assign business and personal objectives on an annual basis which, when reached, will trigger the disbursement of an individual bonus. This

methodology is applied to managers, certain specialists based on their individual labour agreements and sales area managers.
During the year, the individual performance of 162 employees was evaluated, including 32 women and 130 men.
In 2022, no one was involved in International Mobility plans.
For the companies Safe S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A., no Management by Objectives (MBO) systems were introduced.
The Landi Renzo Group's remuneration policy aims to show a fair, concrete recognition of people's hard work and contribution to the success of the business. Salary scales depend on employee roles and responsibilities, and reflect the level of experience and required skills, the level of excellence demonstrated, and the general contribution to the business, without any type of discrimination.
For Landi Renzo S.p.A., the process of defining the variable pay component takes the form of the performance bonus. This is linked to the business performance appraisal for all staff, the results achieved by leading roles and – limited to certain specific positions such as the Employer's delegate and the managers of production sites – various health, safety and environment objectives. However, in 2022, the process of assigning and evaluating objectives for personnel with roles of responsibility (MBO) was not carried out.

At Beijing Landi Renzo Autogas System Co. Ltd, individual or company-level performance bonuses may be paid. While for Safe S.p.A., the supplementary agreement for 2022 confirmed the performance bonus established in the previous agreement from 2019, with a few modifications. The performance bonus is for employees as well as temporary staff (in the categories of manual workers, clerical workers and middle managers), and the amount is calculated on the basis of the results achieved by the company in the reference year. When specific conditions are met, the worker may decide to have the performance bonus paid out in the form of flexible benefits.
Furthermore, exclusively and on an exceptional basis in 2022, the company decided to support its employees and temporary staff (manual workers, clerical workers and middle managers) by providing them with a Euro 200.00 fuel voucher, as set forth in Decree Law 21/2022.
The Group's focus on its people also means providing advantages through a set of non-financial benefits designed to increase the socio-economic well-being of employees and their families. These include work equipment such as company cars, laptops and mobile telephones, in addition to resources allocated to meet employee social, social security and welfare requirements. Landi Renzo S.p.A. has supplemented its company welfare policy with an additional amount of Euro 50 (company supplement) to be used on a company welfare portal which provides a range of products and services (such as discount vouchers, reimbursements, healthcare services, etc.).
Agreements were also activated with food service and catering companies for the delivery of meals to the office.
Furthermore, a car sharing service has been active since 2020 for the shared use of vehicles for staff from the city of Bologna. Lastly, the use of smart working continued, in order to guarantee worker attendance and operational continuity.

The Group has always focused on its people: it demonstrates this through its commitment to health and safety in the workplace, which is implemented through robust management systems. Landi Renzo S.p.A. has adopted an occupational health and safety policy and management system (OHSMS) in accordance with the requirements of standard ISO 45001:2018, to enable ongoing improvement and maximum performance in relation to safety in the workplace and safeguarding the environment.
In accordance with Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008, the Group's management system consists of a cohesive, detailed body of work instructions and procedures covering all safety activities (safety training, working methods, the use of personal protective equipment etc.), and goes into greater detail for activities that involve specific risks. The system is based on a thorough risk map, in the form of a Risk Assessment report (DVR) prepared by the Employer and the Health and Safety Manager. It is then checked by the Company Doctor and submitted to the workers' safety representatives in order to identify the severity and probability of specific risks occurring, for each activity and role carried out by Landi Renzo employees.
Over time, the OHSMS relating to the Landi Renzo Group has fostered a culture of safety, which has gradually influenced the habits, awareness and mindset of all staff. This has underlined the importance of ensuring personal and collective safety when working for or with Italian companies in the Landi Renzo Group, and has prioritised a proactive approach to health and safety, as potential issues are raised before they become a fullyfledged incident.
As regards occupational medicine services, the health protocol is defined by the Company Doctor. In-company health monitoring is guaranteed by the Company Doctor, that sends aggregate health data and information on the risk of workers that undergo health surveillance, in Attachment 3B (as defined in Article 40, paragraph 1 of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008) to competent entities. For all inspections made, the Company Doctor writes up a report based on his/her findings. The Company Health and Safety Manager also attends the inspections.
LANDI RENZO - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2022 114 The quality of occupational medicine services is ensured by workers' facilitated access to these services. The Company Doctor may give check-ups, also on the written request of workers, using the form "FS 22 - Request

for a medical check-up". All workers are suitably informed of this possibility to request medical check-ups. The Group's focus on health and safety in the workplace is defined in standards that all personnel must observe in order to ensure that policies, procedures, technologies and skills contribute to the awareness and prevention of risks.
In order to give access to and notify important occupational health and safety information to workers, at Landi Renzo S.p.A, all documentation on accident prevention is available on a Safety portal and on a noticeboard, on company premises, and in an electronic version on the company Intranet, along with reports on company accident trends. Although no formal management/worker committees for health and safety exist at present, Landi Renzo S.p.A. undertakes to organise periodic meetings for the Workers' Safety Representatives, Health and Safety Manager and company trade union representatives with a view to guaranteeing communication flows on health and safety matters to all employees. Due to the spread of COVID-19 and the emergency situation, these meetings were not scheduled in the last two years. The Group HSE Department expects to define the frequency, schedules and procedures for holding the meetings in 2023 with the support of Human Resources.
In addition to intensive information and training on the ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001 standards, through which Landi Renzo S.p.A. personnel are informed of the main safety concepts and new developments in this area, performance objectives for safety in the workplace have been set, which are linked to specific KPIs. Against an observation that was remedied in the last 14001 audit, every employee is asked to sign a form committing to conduct consistent with ISO 14001.
To meet these objectives, the Landi Renzo Group has a Health, Safety and Environmental Department (HSE), which aims to adopt a standardised, cohesive approach to ISO 45001:2018 certification and to include all the work processes, regardless of their position in the company, within the risk assessment.
This structure is based on two levels of activity: one is entrusted to the central departments and establishes, coordinates and monitors the policies and guidelines, as well as providing specialist and local technical/operational management support. The other level of action is through the health and safety managers/officers at the level of the local branches or companies, who implement management guidelines according to the specific technical/installation/environmental conditions of the local sites.
Planned inspections also contribute to increasing the focus on legal compliance and conformity to the ISO 45001:2018 standard.
For Landi Renzo S.p.A. Group, in the course of 2022 audits were performed on the management system. These audits were assigned to an external consulting firm and the certifying entity Bureau Veritas. In particular, in June/July 2022 Bureau Veritas performed a joint ISO 1400:2015-ISO 45001:2018 audit, which brought to light 3 minor NCs which were resolved within the required timeframes.
In addition to the certifying body's audits, audits are carried out every year by the consulting firm M2 Engineering to support the maintenance of the HSEMS, in order to verify the proper application of the ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards.

Furthermore, in 2019 the company used the "FE 16" form to draw up a "Risks and opportunities matrix" linked to internal and external factors as required by UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 and UNI ISO 45001:2018, which is updated and revised every year. For the environmental aspects, the "FE 17" form was prepared "Assessment of conformity to requirements of workers and other interested parties", UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 and UNI ISO 45001:2018.
All the company operations of the Landi Renzo Group are covered by the HSEMS, and they include not only permanent staff but also contractors from other companies, such as temporary agency staff and the workers of contracting firms. For service contractors, there is a specific procedure that allows a pre-check of the contracting requirements imposed by Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on contracting.
For suppliers and outsourcing firms, an audit plan for quality audits was prepared in November 2019 for the renewal of the certification with migration to ISO 45001:2018. The form "FA 50 – Supplier Qualification" used in the quality procedure was changed to include references to HSE. In the course of 2022, 2 audits were carried out at suppliers, and another 2 are planned for the early months of 2023.
For Safe S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A., there is currently no company occupational health and safety management system. The Companies manage this topic by defining procedures and operating instructions in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 81/08, defining a safety organisational chart which shows the appointment of people to the required positions and drafting a Risk Assessment Document. Furthermore, the company's health situation is monitored based on a medical protocol linked to the risks mapped in the Risk Assessment Document, and training and information is provided to all workers on occupational health and safety.
As in previous years, staff training is organised by the HR Department, taking into account the guidelines provided by the health and safety manager and the contents of the Italian State-Regions Conference Agreement. Currently, the procedure allows for the regular training of all staff, and for periodic refresher courses for workers and staff in the roles of emergency management, first aid, forklift drivers, workers' safety representatives, HS managers and officers.
The company has not introduced courses on OHS that involve the workers' families.

In 2022, the safety training trend has declined slightly; all necessary continuing education courses were held. For the Italian companies of the Landi Renzo Group and the Company Metatron S.p.A., a programme is drawn up each year in collaboration with HR with regard to HS training. It takes into account the requirements for new hires, and the periodic refresher courses for existing staff.
In 2022, two managers at the Landi Renzo Group's Italian companies took part in the health and safety training. The role of manager brings with it considerable decision-making autonomy in managing employee safety. This is designed to provide training on how to identify parties involved and their obligations, define and identify risk factors, and identify technical, organisational measures for prevention and protection. The course must be completed by new managers and a refresher course is completed by all company managers every five years. On the basis of the requirements set out in the Italian State-Regions agreement, the first type of course contains 16 hours of training and the second course 6 hours. The new Workers' Safety Representatives were elected at year-end, and the relative training activity will be activated soon.
The future commitments of the Italian companies of the Landi Renzo Group are closely related to the requirements of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 and the HSE management system. Monthly monitoring of injuries and near miss reports will continue, with this data being provided to the health and safety officers. Periodic HSEMS audits will be carried out by third parties (accreditation bodies) and by second parties (customers or suppliers) if required. In order to take pre-emptive action in relation to work-related injuries or illnesses, it has been agreed with the trade union representatives to provide all workers with information about the specific risks of their equipment and workstations, with the level of exposure to each risk to be specifically indicated. With regard to safety issues, the necessary courses will be planned in accordance with

the Italian State-Regions Conference Agreement, and internal informative meetings with all workers will continue.
Safety key performance indicators are monitored continuously, and are constructed according to a statistical criterion relating to the UNI 7249:2007 standard on the statistics of occupational injuries. In the course of 2022, 16 non-serious accidents at work were recorded out of roughly one million hours worked; of which for the Italian companies 6 (including 2 relating to non-employees) at Safe S.p.A., 0 at Landi Renzo S.p.A. and 3 at Metatron S.p.A.
The following accidents took place for the various employees: bruised calf, twisted/injured ankle, crushed/bruised/injured hand, splinter projected into an eye and pulled muscles.

In 2022, 2 accidents were recorded for non-employee personnel relating to the Company Safe S.p.A. The Group has a total of 99 non-employee workers, with 60,647 hours worked.
A key factor in preventing injuries is the ability to report, gather and analyse information on accidents and near misses. The Company Landi Renzo S.p.A. has adopted a near-miss information gathering system where incidents are logged, monitored and analysed regularly to check that they meet the specific targets assigned to different management teams. During 2022 there were no deaths or accidents with serious consequences relating to work activities by employees. In 2022, there were no cases of occupational illness.
The accidents taking place in 2022 involved production staff and were evaluated by the Company, which adopted disciplinary measures for everyone who had not followed health and safety regulations (e.g., failure to use personal protection equipment provided by the Company, moving through a prohibited area).
As regards the Group's Italian companies, hazards in the workplace that constitute an injury risk have been specified in the company risk assessment report, which indicates not only the hazard itself but also the risk of exposure. Hazards in the workplace that may cause potential risks of occupational illnesses are mainly related to repetitive movements and the handling of loads, and also to the natural ageing of workers. As for their management, the Company Doctor identifies and reports possible cases at risk of illnesses; the frequency of check-ups is indicated in the health protocol. In addition, workers can also report potential and/or evident cases of occupational illnesses to trade union representatives. Reporting is followed up with the opening of an occupational illness request by the trade union representative. The request is then sent to INAIL (the Italian institute for insurance against industrial accidents), which evaluates it before starting a recognition procedure, if applicable.
Any accidents reported by supervisors or workers at Landi Renzo are reported on the form "FS 32 - Report of accident/injury or near miss"- these events are then analysed to evaluate the causes. After the injury or near miss analysis, corrective action will be started to identify the steps that need to be taken to avoid any repetition of the incident, by eliminating any hazards that may be caused by deficient equipment or tools, or incorrect behaviour by staff.

Given the high value it places on its employees, the Landi Renzo Group is committed to maintaining constant dialogue with personnel and to increasing its involvement in the various activities. The Landi Renzo Group uses various forms of internal communication, both traditional and innovative. The more traditional channels include the Intranet, notice boards and in-house screens. The company Intranet enables everyone in the Group to access official information and initiatives, facilitating company processes, communication between departments and internal communication. Company notice boards and screens are used to notify employees of official communications. Policies, agreements, internal procedures, company indicators and figures are just some of the content available via these communication channels.
Lastly, for the Landi Renzo Group in the course of 2020, a new communication channel was activated: an SMS messaging platform to reach all employees with information, notifications, instructions and videos, even during the lockdown periods. This instrument was used to convey communications and information

regarding company decisions to close/reopen the plants, informational notices from the management and communications on worker safety and urgent communications during the hacker attack. Remote collaborative work tools were also activated to allow clerical personnel to work from home based on smart working arrangements (Webex platform, VPN links and IT tools which can also be used remotely).
Despite being an international organisation, the Landi Renzo Group remains closely linked to local values wherever the company is operating. For this reason the Group is committed to proactively supporting events and initiatives promoted by associations and organisations that are long-standing partners. The company also takes this approach to the promotion and support of development projects in social, educational, cultural and sporting contexts. The Landi Renzo Group has renewed its commitment to the community through charitable/socially beneficial donations. Specifically, the following donations were made by Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Landi Renzo USA:
The Group undertakes to respect the ethical principles and business integrity rules set forth in the Code of Ethics, including as concerns taxes. Although it has not formalised its tax strategy in writing, it continuously implements the principles of proper management of tax matters, guaranteeing that all Group companies respect the tax obligations of the jurisdictions in which they operate. Indeed, the Group fosters and promotes increasing the knowledge of its directors and employees concerning tax risk, with the support of the Officer in charge of preparing the accounting documents/Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and external professionals. At individual Group company level, this responsibility is assigned to the local managing director, supported by the Finance Manager and the relative external tax advisors.
At Group level, tax risks are monitored and analysed by the CFO/Officer in charge of preparing the accounting documents, supported by the tax advisor and the relative Finance Manager (for tax matters identified in foreign subsidiaries). The matters with the most fiscal complexity are brought to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer, so he can express his assessments. For the Companies Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Safe S.p.A., the critical tax issue reporting mechanisms are the same as those adopted by the Group for other unethical or unlawful conduct (email account managed by the Supervisory Body, of which all Model addressees are informed, and visible in the Investor Relations section of the website www.landirenzogroup.com).

As regards the parent company and the subsidiaries whose financial statements are subject to auditing5, taxes, prepared with the support of the tax advisor, are reviewed by the relative Finance Manager and audited by independent auditors. For the unaudited subsidiaries, the verification is performed by the Finance Manager. The Group engages in and maintains collaborative and transparent relationships with tax authorities and responds to the requests received as quickly and transparently as possible. With a view to consolidating transparency with respect to the tax authorities, the Group follows the transfer pricing documentation regulations, in compliance with the OECD's Transfer Pricing Guidelines.

The Landi Renzo Group believes that the level of reliability and credibility that a company must offer to investors and to the financial community in general depends on the relations between the company and its stakeholders. Group Investor Relations (IR) department:
5 Landi Renzo Polska Sp.Zo.O.LR, Beijing Landi Renzo Autogas System Co. Ltd, Landi Renzo Pars Private Joint Stock Company, L.R. Pak (Pvt) Limited

accurately assess the value of the shares and other equity instruments, and support them in interpreting the company's strategy.
At Landi Renzo, IR activities are managed directly by the CFO as they are considered extremely important for the Group.
Investor Relations focuses on compulsory and voluntary communication and dialogue with two important stakeholders - shareholders and debtors, mainly by means of scheduled conference calls and meetings both in Italy and abroad.
The compulsory communication activities take place at intervals based on legislative requirements or certain unforeseeable company events; they have to do with anything that may impact share prices or other listed financial instruments. They also include communications relating to periodic financial data and Group Strategic Plan updates. These events are communicated via press releases, regular financial reports and investor presentations, which are made available to stakeholders on the Group's website, in the Investors section. Furthermore, Investor Relations discusses environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues with investors, which may have significant financial repercussions in the medium and long term.
Voluntary communication activities include financial marketing activities such as roadshows, reverse roadshows and conference calls and occur more regularly. These types of activities are useful for further explaining anything outlined in compulsory communications, and enable more interaction between investors and the company.







The Group pays great attention to the needs of society, which is increasingly demanding more innovative, greener products. The Group's products enable vehicles to be powered with alternative fuels such as CNG, LPG, biomethane and hydrogen, and contribute to the development of sustainable mobility infrastructure, making it possible to reduce emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases.The Group strives to generate financial and environmental benefits while producing positive spin-offs for end clients.


Landi Renzo offers a broad range of gas systems for the conversion of vehicles to LPG and CNG.
These LPG and CNG systems using low environmental impact energy sources are available for both petrol and diesel engines.
SAFE designs and develops compressors that can be integrated into a complete system according to customer specifications.
The compressors are manufactured using the latest technologies, which rely on water cooling, high-speed compressors and direct coupling solutions.



Pressure regulators have traditionally represented the linchpin of the Metatron product portfolio. Piston technology has always been Metatron's winning feature in the highly competitive OEM market and in the search for reliability, strength and quality.
Value chain
The business model of the Group is based on numerous phases, such as research and development, planning and procurement, production and assembly of components and systems, quality control, marketing, distribution, and the sale of systems and components.
Although activities are mainly implemented with the support of partners and suppliers, the production of components with high added value, such as control units and injection systems, is carried out internally by the Group.

This model enables the continuous monitoring of product quality and compliance with the quality standards adopted by the Group, in addition to flexible production and distribution to meet different market requirements and fluctuating demand. Within the Group, a team of expert technicians and engineers focus on research and development on power systems and components and the design of new products.
Components and systems are assembled internally by the Group, using sub-components produced by carefully-selected third parties that have well-established and long-standing relations with the Group. The production process is organised to ensure the ongoing control and monitoring of third-party activities, and the quality of products and their compliance with the quality standards adopted by the Group.
The Landi Renzo Group is deeply convinced that the success of automotive companies hinges on the ability to innovate, particularly as regards the propulsion systems of public and private vehicles, by using low-impact fuels or gases. Innovation in alternative mobility was and always has been the cornerstone of Landi Renzo's success.
Powertrain innovation involves the collaboration of a number of technicians and researchers, ongoing work

with leading national and international specialist centres and universities, in addition to partnerships with the largest automotive manufacturers. The Group's activities are based on numerous lines of research, including the ongoing optimisation of LPG and CNG systems, and studies on fuel systems for completely innovative fuels such as hydrogen.
The Strategic Plan developed by company management focuses on CNG and LNG (liquefied natural gas) components for Medium and Heavy-Duty vehicles, the further development of CNG components for cars, and research and development of low and high pressure components for hydrogen applications. This is rounded off by a team dedicated to developing the "brain" of the system, which is the mono-fuel control unit for heavy-duty applications. The Group's commitment is demonstrated with over 165 patents filed over the
years, which have contributed to opening up new avenues and outlining important targets for the entire industry. The Group has also filed dozens of designs and models, mainly relating to the electronic control units, in an attempt to prevent illegal cloning of these products by competitors.
The aim of the Group is to develop increasingly innovative products for automotive manufacturers and
end clients while meeting targets to safeguard the environment. An effective product is one that enables the original fuel to be replaced totally by an alternative fuel. This maximises the reduction of greenhouse gases and often also maximises the reduction of pollutants.
R&D activities specifically aim to identify technological solutions that improve these aspects, through targeted component research and development.
Moreover, Landi Renzo systems can already use methane from renewable sources (such as biomass), further reducing the impact on the production of greenhouse gases. It is thus very important for the Group to keep pace with new technologies to be able to meet market requirements for cutting-edge solutions.
Over the years, a series of long-term initiatives was launched in which the R&D team and the company were committed to:

Analysis and design activities have concluded, in partnership with the European automotive manufacturers. All of the experience gained was exploited to refine and begin production of solutions compliant with the "Euro 6d-FINAL" emissions standards. Partnerships are also ongoing in non-European markets with leading automotive manufacturers, particularly in Iran and Russia. In the USA, work has continued on the production of conversion kits approved by automotive manufacturers holding QVM (qualified vehicle modifiers) certification. After obtaining the CARB (California Air Resources Board) MY2021 certification on FORD vehicles for the conversion and marketing of CNG vehicles in the US, the application phase continued in order to improve the system for diagnosing and improving the efficiency of the installed systems.
The range of LPG and CNG conversion kits was extended, with different systems being provided for installers that ensure conversion to an alternative fuel for all cars on the market. In the course of 2022, certification activities continued (DGM and R115) for a large fleet of LPG and CNG vehicles, with the extension of the certifications to certain hybrid "tri-fuel" vehicles (petrol-CNG-electric or petrol-LPG-electric). During the year, the type of approvals was expanded further for new manufacturers and families of vehicles. Landi Renzo was a pioneer in the definition of testing procedures with institutional bodies and in the approval of the first family of hybrid plug-in vehicles.
The new generation of more compact and higher performing components, such as injectors, reducers and electronic control units, has facilitated the kit installation phase and system optimisation.
In 2022, the Landi Renzo Group continued to play a leading role in groups for the definition and coordination of various industry regulations, primarily international regulation no. 115 on the approval of LPG and CNG conversion systems for the aftermarket. Furthermore, Landi Renzo also played a role in supporting Indian trade associations and government bodies to define the reference standards and regulations for the aftermarket approval of vehicles certified according to the BS-VI standard. In 2022, the new "Bharat Stage VI" approval regulation entered into force in the Indian market. As a result, Landi Renzo initiated approval and certification procedures on its own systems in order to come into compliance with the new legislation. Lastly, it is also worth mentioning that in 2022 Landi Renzo collaborated with trade associations in defining the proposals to be sent to the European Commission to define the new Euro 7 Regulation and revise the CO2 Regulation. In both cases, the Landi Renzo Group actively contributed with industry associations to transmitting data and suggestions to the European Commission as part of public inquiries.
The company SAFE & CEC S.r.l. operates in the sustainable energy sector, and in particular it is gaining increasing market share in the biomethane segment. SAFE S.p.A.'s research and development activities are concentrated on the development of alternative hydrogen compressors, also on the basis of advisory

agreements, and the development of technologies capable of improving compressor performance and reducing their specific consumption.
Furthermore, with the support of current suppliers, systems are now being developed to reduce and limit CNG leakages into the atmosphere, a crucial feature for meeting the new limits imposed by international agreements.
Also in the SAFE Group, IMW Industries LTD Canada has developed the first high-pressure hydrogen hydraulic compressor, currently in the testing phase.
Innovation is part of Metatron's DNA, as a company specialised from its very origins in the design, development and production of regulators (PR) and electronic engine control units (ECU) for phased sequential injection NG fuelling systems in ICEs. These systems are the industry standard for the management of emissions from NG fuelled public and private transport vehicles, stored in the vehicle under high pressure (CNG) or liquefied under low pressure and extremely low pressure (LNG).
All PR models have "for life" technology that guarantees the utmost system reliability and sustainability for the entire life of the vehicle.
In the transport sector, the ongoing transition towards electric technology has experienced a series of accelerations in recent years in the passenger car arena, while for Heavy Duty systems (which, as is well known, constitute the keystone asset of cargo transport and public transport), the transition is and will be decidedly slower. It is clear that the adoption of a natural gas (NG) fuelling system for heavy duty vehicles makes it possible to safeguard, at least in the medium term, the downstream industrial market linked to conventional engines and plant production lines, slowing the process of dismantling the traditional industrial fabric. Furthermore, the opportunity to use LNG makes it possible to achieve levels of autonomy fully aligned with those of diesel, thus overcoming another well-known limit of full electric systems.
It is also possible to use natural gas fuelled engines for the co-generation of electricity (GENSET) in order to run electric engines (such as in the railway sector) or generate electricity in remote areas.
In terms of ECU development, the evolution of the new model continues, which establishes specific control strategies that make it particularly suited to transformations as well (after mechanical type interventions like the reduction of the compression ratio, replacement of the injector with the spark plug, modification of the metallurgy of intake/discharge valves, etc.).
Metatron has leveraged its experience in NG to develop mechanical and mechatronic regulators for hydrogen fuel cell fuelling systems for automotive applications (FCV, Fuel Cell Vehicle) and since 2022 for ICE-H2 as well. In FCV vehicles, propulsion is provided by an electric engine (in place of a conventional thermal engine) fuelled by a battery charged by the fuel cell and the discharge product is only water; in vehicles with a conventional ICEs, the adoption of H2 allows for a drastic abatement in emissions in keeping with new, highly stringent directives.
The mechanical PRs for 350 barG and 700 barG applications have met with excellent appreciation in the

market.
A number of mechatronic PR prototypes are encountering a positive response from the various Chinese and EU OEMs in the experimentation of ICE-H2 pilot programmes.
The Technical Department of the mechanical and mechatronic components division, consisting of 5 people, is entirely committed to the relative activities. It is also joined by the Electronic & Application Engineering division operating at the local unit in Volvera (Turin), which employs 14 people. This division handles the design and development of Natural Gas engine control units for Heavy Duty Vehicles, as well as the development of the electronic component and the control logic of electronic pressure regulators, for both NG and hydrogen.
Recent analyses are under way for the extension of the use of the Natural Gas HDS (Heavy Duty System) platform for ICE-H2 applications and applications in the EV sector. These analyses aim to evaluate, through appropriate hardware and software adjustments (both developed by Metatron S.p.A.), the product's application potential in these emerging and highly promising production sectors.
In the course of 2022, developments continued on mechanical regulators for H2 and NG applications.
In particular, work continued for the development and validation of:
The EM-H platform has continued its validation and prototyping, as well as the revision of requirements; this revision was based on discussions with a number of potential OEM customers, which have been analysing Metatron for new H2 programmes.
Maintaining our traditional leadership in terms of technology, which has always set the company and its gas conversion systems apart, is based on continuously reviewing processes and sharing ideas and experiences. The Group's research and development operations are mainly carried out at the head office of Landi Renzo S.p.A., which coordinates the requirements of all the Group's international subsidiaries and branches. As mentioned above, during 2022 various LPG, CNG and hydrogen fuel system projects have continued; these include:

In 2022, work continued in support of support the Group's development of new products and systems, through a partnership with the AVL Group, which is a world leader in the construction of vehicle testing and emissions measurement systems. The partnership with AVL involves testing LPG and CNG systems using engine test benches and roller simulators to study new technologies designed to cut polluting exhaust emissions. Modern plants enable test vehicles to be powered with all fuels available for the automotive industry - diesel, petrol and all fuel gases including hydrogen.
The collaboration with AVL has been joined by intense activities carried out at the Fiat Research Centre, aimed at verifying and validating monofuel control unit development activities and developing and deciding on the calibration of a new monofuel engine of the customer Mahindra.
The solidity of the Group's technology and innovation comes from the full vertical integration of the process of developing the components and systems, from the definition of the concept through to industrialisation, also including testing and validation. All the mechanical and electronic components are tested internally at the Landi Renzo laboratory, led by a team that follows the internal test specifications and validation processes. These specifications are derived from the Group's experience and its integration with the regulatory requirements and specific demands of each customer. Several selected partners (REI Lab, TUV and KIWA) made it possible to meet all testing requirements by providing testing equipment, laboratories and capacities not currently available within the group.
Lastly, confirmation of the well-established drive for innovation comes from the Metatron Volvera technical centre, which is committed to continuing to develop a mono-fuel engine control unit for alternative fuels, to be used in Medium and Heavy-Duty applications.
Heavy-duty vehicles powered by CNG and LNG are particularly popular with local councils and logistics operators, thanks to the advantages of reduced emissions, lower noise levels and cost savings, as well as the absence of limitations in cities that impose restrictions on diesel traffic. In addition to all of these benefits, it also has the unquestionable value of further reducing CO2 emissions when bio-methane is used.
In line with the group's spirit of integration, the Turin team is committed to the new control units project for the conversion of direct injection engines, offering complementary skills, methodologies and know-how to those available at the head office.
The Group has always viewed quality as essential for market success.
The parent company Landi Renzo S.p.A decided to adopt an ISO 9001 quality system as early as 1996, to ensure that its design, production, sales and customer support systems met market requirements. Among the foreign companies, the Landi Renzo USA Corporation holds QVM (Qualified Vehicle Modifiers) certification, which requires an assessment by the Ford Motor Company and acceptance of the QVM guidelines.
In 2001, Landi Renzo S.p.A. was one of the first Italian companies in its industry to obtain the prestigious ISO/TS 16949 certification, which specifies the quality system requirements for design, development and production in the automotive industry supply chain. That certification, which ended in 2016, was replaced by the first edition of IATF 16949.
The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) standard places a clear emphasis on continuous improvement (preventing flaws in product design and planning) in order to fully meet customer requirements. It has also introduced important new developments which include a greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility, more focus on product safety and greater clarity in supplier and sub-supplier management processes.
In addition to the parent company, in 2018 Landi Renzo Polska S.p.Z.o.o. and Landi Renzo Pars Private Joint Stock Company, which were previously certified to the ISO/TS 16949 standard, completed the transition to the latest version of IATF 16949. In 2022, the annual surveillance process was regularly carried out when required, and the renewal process was successfully completed when required.
The Indian company Krishna Landi Renzo India Private obtained the certification at the end of 2020 and in 2022 successfully completed the surveillance audits.
The companies Safe S.p.A. and IMW Industries LTD Canada also have the ISO 9001 certification, as does Metatron S.p.A., which also completed the transition to the most recent version of IATF 16949.
In 2021, Landi Renzo obtained the SILVER MEDAL for complying with sustainability requirements as an automotive supplier, following a survey by EcoVadis (the leading collaborative platform providing sustainability assessments of suppliers along global logistics chains).


An OEM customer asked us to participate in this platform, because they considered this approach to be an asset in their supplier assessment process as it is in line with current trends. Landi Renzo is positioned in the 83rd percentile, out of all the participants, which is an excellent result.
Furthermore, also in the course of 2022 Continuous Improvement Plans were updated with new points for improvement, valid for all the Group's sites, so that the corrective actions identified in response to customer complaints could be implemented, and in order to monitor the trend in complaints to further increase procedural efficiency. Procedural efficiency is measured using three Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

factors:
To achieve these quality objectives, the organisation cannot operate without responsible personnel management.
A series of essential activities have been implemented; of these, the use of professional development and training courses has been fundamentally important. All Quality, Health and Safety documentation is available to personnel at all times.
Through a number of automotive standard practices and IATF16949 and ISO9001 certified quality systems, the company enacts a series of activities to minimise the risk of safety issues for end users.
Product planning is implemented using an integrated project management approach, which requires the appointment of a Chief Engineer and a Program Manager working alongside a multidisciplinary team who are assigned specific resources and responsibilities. All projects are managed according to a Stage & Gate method, which requires the company Board to approve every phase of the project.
The Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) framework is used in order to meet the production quality requirements. Once planning is complete, the equipment, tools, resources and staffing capacities needed to achieve the required quality will be identified. During each phase of production, audits and validation activities are carried out (based on the PPAP — Production Part Approval — Process) method); these activities are then included in the Quality documentation.
Process and product audit tools are also used to verify compliance with the standards established over time and the use of lessons learned to capitalise on every event to prevent any new occurrences.
Compared to the objectives set last year, as confirmation of the Group's focus on quality, the key indicators have further improved on previous years (for example After Market warranty values compared to sales < 0.5%, Customer complaints indicator < 2.6%); this is a sign that we are on the right track. Conversely, thanks to the objective of reducing OEM customer warranty costs, specific Product Improvement Plans have been adopted, which entailed a significant reduction in rejected products.
One of the more challenging objectives set for Landi Renzo by its OEM customers is the "0 km accidents" target below 1 (or 1 non-compliant part out of 1 million delivered on acceptance at customer plants). This objective in 2022 is just above the target, but considered acceptable in light of the situation in 2022.
The objectives that the Landi Renzo Group undertakes to meet in 2023 will include prompt reactivity to supply and internal issues to make production indicators even more efficient. This will be possible by employing analysis and tracking tools acquired on the basis of improvement projects carried out in 2021 and 2022, which aimed to digitalise information with respect to component and production waste tracking, improve assessment process efficiency, optimise the prevention process and reduce the costs of non-quality.
For the Company Safe S.p.A., quality control is a fundamental part of its production chain: from the arrival of

the materials, to their processing, to the assembly and inspection of the entire solution. Starting from the acceptance of the raw materials, documentation is verified and subject to controls. When controls for compliance with SAFE specifications have a negative outcome, the material may be disposed of and returned to the supplier or reprocessed. In the assembly phase, control lists are defined which identify the worker and the supervisor, and are collected by the quality department to ensure that all controls have been completed. Furthermore, the Company subjects its products to final testing before being shipped, during which time any defects are corrected and checked by the quality department.
The Group's primary aim is to manage any risk that could jeopardise the safety of products for end consumers. For this reason, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is used systematically in the Group's manufacturing companies, both during the product design and development phase, and in production. This enables the achievement of excellent results in terms of reducing risk and producing effective action for customers. All products undergo testing and approval according to the "R10 regulation procedure" to verify electromagnetic compatibility. Additionally, all CNG products must be R110-approved, and LPG products must be approved according to the R67/01 procedure.
The safety characteristics are highlighted on the drawings approved by the customer, and all products are fully tested at end-of-line (for example, the leak test is carried out on 100% of products). For the Company Metatron S.p.A., safety inspections, particularly those concerning gas seals, are carried out with automatic machines and state of the art technologies for leakage detection.
To guarantee that product safety is adequately managed throughout development, all Metatron products are developed according to IATF certified APQP "Advanced Product Quality Planning" automotive standards, which first and foremost require a multidisciplinary team, a product design and validation phase, repeated based on development stage, and a production process design and validation phase, with a final qualification. All activities are based on the receipt of customer and legally binding requirements, which regard both products (e.g., materials) and processes (e.g., ergonomic standards, environmental compatibility, supplier qualification).
In order to achieve the utmost performance and support customers in selecting products, the Group typically provides technical sheets accompanying the kits sold as per legislative requirements and, when requested by customers, also specific detailed assembly instructions for the various components.
With regard to legal requirements, Landi Renzo applies a stricter safety level, either by reducing the legal thresholds or by including additional safety devices on certain components.
Before being marketed, all products undergo the "APQP" process, which involves several validation steps carried out in a laboratory, according to a test plan. The components are placed under stress in order to simulate their functioning on the road, with a particular focus on ageing and operating in extreme conditions. To guarantee the necessary technical support, all the Group's components and systems are accompanied by assembly instructions and technical manuals (intended for professional users), which illustrate the correct

method of installation and maintenance, as well as instructions on use (for the AM market) which illustrate how the product should be used by the end consumer.
Internal and external support centres continually feed back product information on reliability, maintainability and ease of installation, and monitor the progress of anomalies to ensure ongoing improvement.
To prevent non-conformities, a series of information obtained from customer relations and company quality processes is also used and analysed. Following this analysis, the preventive actions are identified and assessed according to the effect on the issue to be resolved. A documented procedure (PSQ 14-1) has been put in place for this purpose. It outlines the requirements for identifying potential non-conformities and their causes, evaluates the need to take action to prevent non-conformities from occurring, outlines how the necessary actions should be identified and implemented, and the process for logging and reviewing the results.
The way in which non-conformities are dealt with will depend on the extent of the issue. Minor nonconformities identified for the AM or OEM markets will be managed internally with management system, using the "8D" problem-solving methodology (identification of root cause, corrective action, preventive action, check of implementation effectiveness).
For the entire Group, in 2022, as in previous years, no cases of non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes relating to product health and safety led to any complaints and/or fines.
A few cases of non-compliance in the systems on which Landi Renzo products were assembled were confirmed, but without involving the safety function of such systems.
The Landi Renzo Group is committed to customer satisfaction, and has always adopted a transparent business policy geared towards building long-term relations, collaboration, rapid troubleshooting and maximum professionalism.
Landi Renzo S.p.A., Landi Renzo Polska Sp.Zo.O. and Landi Renzo RO S.r.l. provide each OEM customer with a dedicated team made up of sales, technical and quality personnel who the customer can contact for their technical, logistics and quality requirements.
For After Market (AM) customers, the Landi Renzo Group has set up a special communication channel with a landline number, e-mail address and two mobile phone numbers, to ensure that the best technical support is available for local dealers and workshops.
For this market, it is important to guarantee the same level of service in every country. The Landi Renzo Group relies on the official importers and its branches to provide good technical support, and to fast-track procedures to make sure that end-users are without their vehicles for as short a time as possible.
The Companies Safe S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A. have adopted a number of dedicated telephone and email contact channels that customers can use depending on request type. For Metatron S.p.A., for example, the Commercial Department responds with respect to prices, deliveries and general complaints, Quality for complaints relating to product functions and the Program Manager Department for issues relating to product programme and definition timing.

For end-users, the Group has a series of traditional contact channels, such as email, fax, the head office phone number and the Landi Renzo freephone number, and also social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. End-users can request information about our products and how to buy them, report aftersales issues or make complaints, but they can also receive information about topics such as ecology, sustainability and the events or campaigns organised by the Group.
By visiting http://preventivo.landi.it, end clients can also clearly identify the best LPG or CNG system for their vehicle, plus details of tank capacity, the cost of a ready to use installation, and a local garage who can correctly install the system.
In order to engage even more with our customers and understand their expectations and needs, marketing and communications are playing an increasingly important role. In order to raise awareness of the Landi Renzo Group brands among business customers and end clients, the companies also attend industry trade fairs, international forums and specific local events run by dealers and importers, activities that were carried out virtually as a result of the pandemic.
Informative brochures and corporate adverts are placed in both industry and non-industry publications and web campaigns are published, mainly on social media networks and Google. These activities are managed in a way that guarantees the utmost transparency for customers. During 2022, no instances of incorrect product labelling were reported for Landi Renzo S.p.A.
Label content is defined in the design phase and reported on documents shared with customers, and all labels undergo thorough checks at the shipment stage.
The Landi Renzo Group monitors customer satisfaction using two different methods, depending on customer type. For the OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) monitoring is done using specific indicators on the websites of car manufacturers: warranty defect rates, "0 km" defect rates and timeliness of deliveries. Automotive manufacturers compile a 'bid list' showing the company service level compliance and any areas for improvement.
In addition to customer satisfaction, the Landi Renzo Group also continuously monitors and manages the complaints made by OEM customers and end-users. Customer management has always been structured with the use of specific complaint management procedures (procedure 13.1 "Non-Conformities Management"), and from 2017 additional progress was made in terms of standardising the management of the foreign branches.
The Non-Conformities Management procedure is set up to provide end-users with prompt feedback in the case of a system malfunction, and in the rare cases where vehicular damage or an accident is reported as potentially being due to the installation of a Landi Renzo LPG or CNG system. The process of managing and monitoring complaints involves gathering information on the incident, analysing the event and the system components, and informing the end clients or dealers of the results of the analysis.
To ensure that customers are fully satisfied from a technical, logistics and quality point of view, an

Thanks to a structured process of quality management development, and with the support of the Purchasing Department, which has led to a clear improvement in the quality of end products by improving supply operations, the number of OEM customer complaints has decreased, thanks to a plan of internal quality improvements carried out after several customer audits.
Complaint responses are managed automatically by customer portals, with rapid response times. This is typically 48 hours for a containment action, and 5 days to identify the root cause of the problem and implement corrective actions. End-users complaints are managed by the Technical Support department, together with the workshop that carried out the installation, with the supervision of the local dealer.
In the OEM customer category, the Group set up collaborations with leading international automotive manufacturers some time ago. The electronic complexity of newly-manufactured vehicles means that steady, ongoing mutual cooperation is essential in order to design and build systems that are fully compatible with the mechanical and electronic design of vehicles. Consequently, Landi Renzo has set up an initiative with various automotive manufacturers, with the aim of supporting customers in the early diagnosis and resolution of issues raised by end clients.
The quality of the installation process, system safety and performance levels, and customer satisfaction are possible thanks to the network of workshops that are a crucial asset for the success of the Landi Group.
Training and up-to-date information for the network of workshops are the main tools through which the Group pursues these objectives (for more information, see the paragraph "Technical training for workshops and installers").
With a view to safeguarding customer satisfaction, the Company Safe S.p.A. is implementing an adequate organisation to define specific KPIs (e.g., evaluation of the average call time).
For the Company Metatron S.p.A., customer satisfaction remains a priority target and is the starting point of every company activity. In this respect, the company has adopted a series of specific KPIs to monitor its activities and relationships with current customers (number of customer complaints per year; offer effectiveness index from feasibility testing performed).
In view of its target market, the Group is frequently in contact with national and international authorities and institutions, especially the Italian Ministry of Transport (MIT), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).
These relations mainly concern the following areas:

In recent years communication has intensified with regard to environmental sustainability and safeguarding, as well as user safety, with experts from various Ministries interested in understanding viewpoints and sharing expertise gained by the Group. Furthermore, given the Group's role as an international leader representing the best of the Italian automotive supply chain for alternative automotive fuels and gas compression throughout the energy infrastructure value chain, effort has been put into developing and maintaining relationships with institutions in connection with these topics.
The company also makes a contribution through the participation by the Regulatory Affairs office in various national and international working groups who are tasked with developing the future regulations and technical standards for the alternative fuels sector, as regards the environment and safety.
The Landi Renzo Group also makes a decisive contribution in the development of a number of international regulations, ISO standards and CEN standards, both as an industry expert and as a coordinator of two working groups (ISO TC22 SC41 WG5 and CEN TC 286 WG6). Notably, the Group has contributed to the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) of the UNECE in Geneva, concerning the introduction of new, stricter emissions measurement methodologies (WLTC) into Regulation No. 115 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the UN (UN/ECE), as well as the promotion of the amendment relating to the new, more severe WLTP testing standard and that relating to the introduction of requirements for hybrid vehicles fuelled by gaseous fuels. Recently, the Landi Renzo Group has played an active role in defining the new Euro 7 standard, the next level for the reduction of polluting vehicle emissions, through the European Commission's AGVES advisory group. Furthermore, we note the revision of the European regulation on CO2 emissions of heavy duty vehicles, in which the Landi Renzo Group's contribution is intended to recognise the role of renewable fuels (primarily biomethane and bioLNG) in transport sector decarbonisation.
In order to monitor and guide laws and regulations that may impact specific sectors, the Group actively participates in the work of various industry associations. Through its memberships, it also takes part in many institutional working groups. The most significant include:
NGV Italy (Natural Gas Vehicle Italy) is a consortium that brings together the main industrial players in the Italian CNG automotive industry. Landi Renzo has its own representative on the Board of Directors, who promotes the Consortium's institutional relations and is involved in the work of the Automotive Council at the Italian Ministry of Economic Development. Landi Renzo USA has also been a member of NGV America and NGV Global since 2011, with the aim of promoting the development and growth of vehicles powered by natural gas or biomethane for a sustainable market.

and partner companies operating in the automotive CNG sector.
these areas.
Landi Renzo S.p.A. is an industry member of the Steering Committee for the High-Technology Materials Engineering Platform in Emilia-Romagna and a member of the Mechatronics Club Steering Committee. The latter organisation arranges an Italian mechatronics award every year (Premio Italiano Meccatronica), which promotes national companies making a major contribution to the field of mechatronics technology by developing innovative products at an international level. Together with the Steering Committee, the company is considering the possibility of working on a programme of dissemination and integration of the hydrogen value chain with a dual aim: to share the know-how acquired by the various players in the alternative hydrogen fuel market and simultaneously strengthen the network of leading operators in order to accelerate the development and innovation of the system.
During the year, exchanges with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia intensified, with a series of meetings in order to disseminate the culture of hydrogen and with technical feasibility studies in the development of sustainable Automotive and Infrastructure solutions. The intense exchange and collaboration with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia made it possible to move forward with the activities set forth in the project financed by Emilia Romagna Region Law 14 with:
Landi Renzo S.p.A. places significant importance on nurturing relationships with the academic world. Indeed, for years it has collaborated with leading Italian universities to spread a culture of sustainability and facilitate research and development. During the year, it was able to engage in intense exchanges with students at the UNIMORE hub and the start-ups associated with the same university in order to share know-how, experience and ideas on a world currently being created. This continuous exchange has enabled the Company to keep an eye on organisations that are developing completely innovative concepts with the operating methods typical of streamlined, dynamic companies.
Landi Renzo participated in the first and second edition of the following event:
H2 day Modena - carried out in November and December in Modena, organised by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in collaboration with the Municipality of Spilamberto and AESS - Agency for energy and sustainable development. The goal of the meeting was to analyse the various aspects of the use of hydrogen in order to promote its more widespread use.
SAFE S.p.A. participates in trade fairs and international conferences organised by ICE (the Italian Trade Promotion Agency) and aimed at promoting Italian business worldwide.
The Group also works with international authorities and institutions, especially in countries with large reserves of natural gas, by presenting specific business cases to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of gas-powered vehicles. Worthy of note is the Group's activity in coordinating and leading in terms of defining, summarising and transposing the principles of European regulations for the conversion industry in India. Significant activities were carried out on international committees for the review and development of reference standards for components and for the definition of emissions standards.
The Group and its suppliers are increasingly attentive to the environmental consequences of their production activities, and are always working on projects designed to reduce their impact.
The Landi Renzo Group regularly rates its suppliers, and uses an approach based on transparency and collaboration in order to establish stable, long-lasting relations.

Suppliers form an integral part of the production and organisation process and thus need to be selected in a way that offers the maximum possible guarantees.
According to its target market, the Group selects suppliers who can guarantee high quality of components and services purchased, who are financially sound, and whose company reputation is in line with that of the Group.
For the Landi Renzo Group, the supplier rating and monitoring process is documented in a specific procedure that outlines the requirements and procedures used to monitor the performance levels to be maintained once the supply contract has been started. This procedure does not apply to AEB America S.r.l., Beijing Landi Renzo Autogas System Co. LTD, Landi Renzo USA Corporation and the Brazilian LR Indústria e Comércio Ltda. Given the business model adopted by the Landi Renzo Group and the prevalence of Italian suppliers, the remaining companies have been given the possibility of using different supplier evaluation and selection tools, while still applying parent company guidelines and supplementing them with local conditions.
The selection process starts with the pre-qualification of suppliers by the Purchasing Department, which checks on their financial stability and ability to provide a continuous service in the medium to long-term.
Their analysis considers various economic indicators relating to the last three financial years (e.g., revenue or turnover, sales profits, stock turnover and net financial position). Suppliers who pass this first step are then admitted to the qualification stage. During this phase, the supplier is asked to complete form FA50, which allocates a score on the basis of economic/financial indicators, insurance cover, compliance with quality, social and environmental requirements, or the possession of relevant certification in addition to factors linked to organisation/business dimensions and logistics capacities. Other performance indicators are also considered, such as on-time deliveries, audit results, the number of compliant batches, price competitiveness and quality aspects. On receipt of the completed form, the Purchasing Department, together with the R & D and Supplier Quality departments, will then complete its assessment.
The procedure requires that the criteria depend on the type of goods to be purchased from the supplier. The minimum certification required for goods to be used in production or distribution processes for original equipment manufacturers (automotive manufacturers) is the ISO 9001. If that is not possible, Landi Renzo may choose to work with the supplier after conducting at least one audit to check their conformity to ISO 9001. If the audit result is negative, the supplier is excluded. If the supplier meets the criteria, a supply contract is agreed, and the requisites are monitored every three years via a supplier re-qualification process. Over the years, this process also made it possible to monitor the performance of existing suppliers and to select potential new partners, without identifying any significant economic/financial, environmental or social risks.
Insofar as Metatron S.p.A. is concerned, during the selection phase the Purchasing Manager is responsible for meeting production requirements by seeking out the most reliable and cost-effective suppliers available in the market. In this search, the Purchasing Manager needs to compare, when possible, multiple offers for the same supply and prioritise suppliers that are seeking out partnerships. The criteria taken into consideration for prior Supplier qualification include: Quality system certification, Certification/assessment of the environmental system, economic aspects, financial strength, technological know-how, focus on partnerships, references.

Furthermore, Metatron S.p.A. monitors the performance of its suppliers on the basis of several performance indicators specified in the document "MO070508-supplier quality specifications (01)", signed by suppliers to acknowledge their acceptance. In detail, through a Vendor Rating IT tool, the Company evaluates 4 indicators:
The sum of the scores obtained for each indicator results in the identification of a Global Assessment Index (GAI), which is taken into consideration during the supplier qualification phase.
For Safe S.p.A., when a new supplier is qualified, the competent departments, or Purchasing, Quality and Technical Office, agree on the methodology to be adopted for qualification, in order to establish eligibility. In this phase, the requirements to be verified may vary depending on the criticality of the product/service provided. In specific cases, any environmental requirements met by the Supplier are also assessed.
Before initiating any supplies of production components, the Technical Office and Quality must approve the selected supplier.
The performance of individual suppliers is then monitored annually based on several indicators relating to the following areas: Quality, Environment and Service. The overall Supplier assessment is obtained by adding together the scores obtained, multiplied by the significance of the topic. Suppliers are then classified into different grades: excellent (assessment between 100 and 249); sufficient (overall assessment between 250 and 350) and insufficient (assessment higher than 350). If the supplier obtains a below threshold grade, q plan of actions to be implemented is agreed upon together with contacts from the Quality area and the Technical Office. The plan may include actions aimed at improving supplier performance or include supplier phase-out actions (exclusion of the supplier from the Safe S.p.A. supplier list).
| SUPPLIER CERTIFICATIONS* | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001 certification | 67% | 74% | 83% |

| No certification | 5% | 12% | 16% |
*The actual certification data referring to the Group's Italian Companies was calculated at the end of 2022.
The data emerging from the "certified suppliers" table shows that compared to the start of the three-year period, the number of certified suppliers with no certification in the Group's supplier base has reduced.

In order to comply with legal requirements, the Landi Renzo Group is directing all OEM strategic suppliers towards the new IATF 16949 standard (which replaces the ISO/TS 16949). Particular attention has been paid to the transition from OHSAS 18001 to ISO 45001, in order to certify the OHS management systems. The standard encompasses topics such as context analysis and risk analysis using the same approach as ISO 9001:2015.
In addition to quality and occupational health and safety aspects, ethics, social responsibility, and safeguarding the environment are important elements in assessing and choosing suppliers: they are also referred to in the Supply Contracts and in the General Purchasing Conditions which are sent to all suppliers. The supplier qualification process does not take human rights aspects into consideration, as the Group's current suppliers are not based in high risk countries. However, the Group's objectives do include amending the supplier qualification process to make it even more socially responsible, right from the contracting phase. As confirmation of this, the new FA52 supplier evaluation form was amended to include a specific section on human rights issues in the supply chain.
As well as the checks carried out in the selection phase, the Landi Renzo Group will regularly monitor its suppliers by conducting periodic visits. Compliance with environmental criteria will be monitored by checking the presence and validity of specific certifications (these are assessed during the qualification stage). Furthermore, please note that the suppliers of the Company Metatron S.p.A. signed the GPC (General Purchase Conditions) including Article 15 "Sustainability" (Energy saving, consumption reduction, emission and waste management) in which the Company asks its suppliers to take all actions required to avoid air, water or soil pollution and enact a policy for reducing consumption and ensuring energy savings. Metatron S.p.A. reserves the right to verify the application and effectiveness of such policy during periodic inspections. For the Landi Renzo Group, respect for human rights and impacts on society is implicitly verified during these audits, but is not formalised in any documentation.
The business model adopted by the Group involves close, well-established relationships with carefully selected suppliers and third parties. Suppliers are selected on the basis of specific skills and their area of specialisation. Moreover, many components required to make products have characteristics (machining process, technical specifications, dimensions and weight, type of applied technology etc.) that often lead to choosing suppliers in geographical locations near specialised industrial areas that are not too far from the factories using the components.
The suppliers' main technology groups are: machining, die casting and related processes, moulding of plastic, rubber components and composite parts, gas tanks, high and low pressure pipework, electronic components and assemblies, sensors.
Much of the Group's production takes place in Italy and Poland. The majority of our suppliers are located in these two countries. Most of the suppliers are Italian firms with long experience in the industry and a higher level of specialisation and focus on quality, and lower transport costs for components with a fairly high unit weight. However, in order to support the needs and requirements of foreign subsidiaries, the Group has

implemented a supplier search policy, to extend the supply chain to include other countries. This can be proved by the fact that in 2022 the expenditure with local suppliers, namelysuppliers who are based in the same country as the Group company which made the purchase, was on average 72%6.The local suppliers, excluding intercompany purchases, are distributed as follows:95% Italy, 60% Europe (purchases made in the same country of residence by the Rumanian and Polish companies), 33% Asia (purchases made in Asia and the rest of the world by the Chinese, Pakistani and Iranian companies) and 99% America (purchases made in the Americas by the Brazilian, American, Argentine, Canadian, Colombian and Peruvian companies).

A few years ago, the Landi Renzo Group began launching initiatives which are increasingly focused on mutual growth with its suppliers. Where our objectives and strategies are shared, the traditional principal-supplier model can be superseded and replaced by a true partnership. During the new product development phase, suppliers are involved in the co-design process. Landi Renzo Group personnel are always in contact with

suppliers to support them in all the required activities, the use of procedures and methods, and in validation processes.

LANDI RENZO - ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2022 148


Although the activities carried out by the Group are those activities typical of a low environmental impact engineering company, Landi Renzo has always paid significant attention to the environment. All the hazards and risks to the environment have been identified and assessed in accordance with legal requirements, and all the technical, organisational, safety and prevention measures have been implemented, as required by the Environmental Management System in place at Landi Renzo S.p.A., Safe S.p.A., IMW Industries LTD Canada and Metatron S.p.A., in accordance with the requirements of the current ISO 14001:2015 standard. The Landi Renzo S.p.A. environmental management system activities cover:
On 20 May 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A., with the drafting of the review by the management, completed the revision of the EMS and environmental policy referring to the ISO 14001:2015 standard. Subsequently, audits were successfully completed in May-June 2022 (Environmental Audit by M2 Engineering) and June-July 2022 by Bureau Veritas for the new issue of the ISO 14001:2015 certification. The audits were successfully completed, and no conditions were found that would have precluded the renewal of the certification.
All these activities are outlined in a cohesive set of documents made available to employees on the company intranet, consisting of the environmental policy, an environmental analysis and declaration, the EMS manual, and instructions on operational and management procedures.
The Companies Safe S.p.A. and IMW Industries LTD Canada perform maintenance audits annually.
As concerns Metatron S.p.A., the last internal environmental inspection audit was performed on 20 October 2022 by the Company M2. Specifically, the ISO 14001 certification was suspended and reactivated in light of the audit performed in February 2023. The established audit plan was basically respected in terms of content and the areas covered, and the personnel interviewed were found to be attentive to and aware of environmental matters.
The EMS is a voluntary tool to enable environmental performance to improve continuously, manage environmental aspects, and monitor compliance with the requirements of standards. It defines methods for identifying responsibilities, procedures, processes and resources within the company's organisational structure to implement the company's prevention and protection policy in accordance with environmental

standards.
The Environmental Management System manager works with other company managers and is aware of the need to establish and update procedures or operational instructions to regulate work activities, including maintenance operations, which may present particular situations of environmental impact risk.
At the end of each financial year, as required by ISO 14001:2015, Landi Renzo S.p.A. prepares the Periodic Environmental Analysis Report, which summarises the data presented in the Non Financial Report. Starting in 2022, this report was integrated with the Art. 271 emissions as requested by M2 Engineering.
For the entire Group, no penalties or proceedings against them due to failure to comply with environmental regulations or laws were registered.
For the entire Group, in the course of 2022, no controls or audits were performed by the supervisory authorities.
Lastly, please note that Metatron S.p.A., through Deed DET-AMB-2019-5264 of 14 November 2019 and with expiry in 2034, adopted the Single Environmental Authorisation (SEA) for the Castel Maggiore office.
Landi Renzo is continuing its policy of constantly monitoring energy consumption, emissions, waste management and energy efficiency, by taking action to reduce its consumption of electricity.
Landi Renzo places particular emphasis on checking that energy is used correctly in the Group's companies, in particular:
For years, Landi Renzo has been present on the open market for the purchase of gas and electricity, and it is a member of the RENERGY consortium (an industrial energy association in the province of Reggio Emilia) for energy supplies. RENERGY is part of the Industry Association of Reggio Emilia, and is a non-profit purchasing group which operates on the energy and telecommunications markets on behalf of its members, agreeing on annual supply contracts with the best conditions and offering companies competitive advantages for the purchase of electricity and gas. The organisation also supports companies in negotiating and agreeing supply contracts, complying with administrative and management requirements, routinely checking billing information, and guaranteeing regular information on market trends and new industry standards.
With regard to the use of company vehicles, the Group purchases technologically-advanced vehicles powered by fuels with less environmental impact, or installs an LPG or CNG system on petrol or diesel vehicles it owns

or hires over long periods.
All the vehicles comply with the latest standards on Euro 6 emissions; the average age of the vehicle fleet at Landi Renzo S.p.A. is from 2 to 4 years.
Moreover, video-conferencing facilities, conference calls and Skype calls and meetings on Teams are available at the company to reduce business trips and travel between the Group's companies as much as possible, and the booking of company cars has been centralised, so it is possible to know when parties are making trips on the same day to the same destination and fewer vehicles can be used.
AVL, which is not controlled by the Landi Group, occupied a part of a building together with the Landi Group, and therefore, as specified below, some electricity consumption relative to Italian companies, is reported together with the consumption of this company.

For 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A.'s indirect consumption of electricity also includes in part the share of AVL, which as of 01/01/2020 makes use of the entire building at number 6 via Nobel. As a result, all of the area's electricity consumption has been attributed to it, including the part relating to the production of the solar power system located on the roof of that building. Specifically, previously, as data was not available regarding consumption recorded in the Desigo Software in use at AVL, which has not provided it, the allotment was based on monthly readings of the SIEMENS meters, which provide an indication of the amount consumed by Landi Renzo S.p.A. and AVL. This indication is not as precise as reading the ENEL meter; therefore, the readings are used for a percentage breakdown of the amount specified on the ENEL invoice for the first 6 months of the year, taking into account meter errors (since they are not periodically calibrated) and plant self-consumption. The value of the electricity consumption attributed to AVL consists of total energy measured, until June, upstream of the transformers (on the MV panel in the electrical cabinet), which is added to the energy generated by the solar power plant owned by Landi Renzo but 100% used by AVL.

Energy production from renewable sources is among the energy strategies implemented by the Landi Renzo Group. Significant cost savings have been obtained thanks to the solar power system installed on the roof of the new Landi Renzo S.p.A. research and development centre, and the solar power system at the headquarters on Via dell'Industria. In the course of 2022, the repair of the via Industria electricity production plant made it possible to generate more than 431,555 kWh, also thanks to optimal weather conditions, thus avoiding more than 91 tonnes of CO2 emissions.In 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A.'s solar power system in Via Nobel produced 818 GJ compared to 707 GJ in 2021, whereas the one in Via dell'Industria produced 735 GJ in 2022 compared to 642 GJ in 2021.

*The 2020/2021/2022 figures refer to Landi Renzo SpA's production site on Via Dell'Industria and Via Nobel in Reggio Emilia.
The method used to calculate NOx and SOx emissions from heating systems in m3 of methane consumed overall requires multiplication by the emission limit stipulated by legislation (350 mg/m³ for NOx and 35 mg/m³ for SOx) and then divided by 1,000,000.
With regard to VOCs, the figure is calculated as the average of the analyses (measurements) taken during the year and multiplied by 8h working days *220 working days in a year/1000.
As concerns Landi Renzo S.p.A., as SOx and NOx are substances derived from the combustion of methane, they declined compared with previous years (NOx from 76 kg in 2021 to 64 kg in 2022, SOx from 8 kg in 2021 to 6 kg in 2022). There was a considerable decrease compared with 2020 in VOCs, as they were calculated by recording the results of the periodic emissions tests at the production sites.

| F-gas mixtures (HFCs) | 258.3 | 122.2 | 300.11 |
*The data includes the sites at Via Nobel and Via dell'Industria, for Landi Renzo S.p.A.
The method used to calculate the emissions is based on data entered in plant logbooks. In detail, the interventions carried out are described here: via Nobel 50 kg. of R407C - GWP 1774 - CO2 88.70 (office air conditioning system), via Nobel 15 kg R-404A - GWP 3922 - CO2 58.83 (climatic chamber for components testing), via Industria 73.075 of R410A - GWP 2088 - CO2 152.58 (electronic area air conditioning system).
For Landi Renzo S.p.A., HFC emissions are due exclusively to air conditioning system leaks. In 2022, several technical interventions on the air conditioners and climatic chambers in the components testing rooms following system leaks resulted in them being filled with gas. In particular, 2 completely empty air conditioners were found at the Via dell'Industria location.
The idea underpinning this Company policy is that using water is not just an environmental issue; water occupies a primary position among the natural resources considered in the Group's policy to limit consumption. This is why it is necessary to manage water resources responsibly.
Each month, the meters are read at the two Landi Renzo S.p.A. sites, in order to identify any irregular consumption due to breaks or faults so that the necessary corrective action can be taken as soon as possible to avoid undesired and unplanned consumption. As regards Italian companies, over the past two years the trend in all the water tests has been constant.
In 2022, the change in the consumption of water for domestic use (mains water) of Landi Renzo is mainly due to the number of people in the company, and to a lesser extent the procurement of water for the operation of the osmosis and softening systems. In particular, in 2022 the consumption at via Nobel no. 6 was not counted


in part for Landi Renzo, as that supply was available solely to the neighbouring company AVL, to which the water meter was transferred in March 2021.
This entailed a drastic reduction in water consumption at the via Nobel site, as the few production processes require low water consumption, due primarily to the osmosis and softening systems required for certain plans. Against these recent acquisitions, therefore, in the Group's Italian companies, around 30 megalitres of water was consumed, primarily for domestic uses, the operation of the softening and osmosis systems required for proper plant operation, the humidifiers in the Air Treatment Units and for cleaning the production departments.
For Landi Renzo S.p.A., waste water was mainly from toilet facilities and air compressor condensation. The cooling units generate condensation not considered to be polluting and in some cases the condensation may be discharged as sewage.
As concerns Safe S.p.A. and Metatron S.p.A., waste water consists only of water for domestic use.

The data relating to the Companies of the Safe Group and Metatron refer to the entire calendar year (1/01/22-31/12/22).
The Group has set up a waste management process designed to reduce and recycle waste, in order to ensure the sustainable management of environmental resources used in its industrial activities, while seeking to limit the production of waste to be sent to the landfill as much as possible.
The Group produces waste from service/production activities, and some products are classed as special waste and given a six-figure EWC (European Waste Catalogue) code and managed differently. The data provided below does not take into account waste comparable to urban waste, as recovery and disposal are managed by the entity engaged by the applicable municipality, and it is not possible to obtain precise data.
In order to optimise waste management and separation, companies in the Group have special containers for collecting and recycling this special waste on the basis of EWC information.
Waste management is split into three separate disposal groups:
As set forth in the HSEMS applied by Landi Renzo (ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018) Safe (ISO 14001:2015) and Metatron (ISO 14001:2015), handling and mixing hazardous waste is prohibited, as it could start a fire or cause dangerous reactions. Other special waste is collected and disposed of directly by external service contractors. The company keeps the waste management records, and deals with declarations to be made to the relevant authorities and any other matters concerning compliance with standards.
For years now, the Italian companies in the Landi Renzo Group have sorted waste according to type, separating paper, aluminium, ferrous materials, polystyrene, polyethylene for packaging, adhesives, solvents etc. to facilitate recycling.
Landi Renzo S.p.A. has also introduced cardboard and polyethylene compactors; in addition to compacting, they also protect the materials to be recycled from bad weather, and provide certainty in terms of the amount of cardboard produced and sent for recycling. The use of these compactors enables the efficient management of two separated products without waste or taking up unnecessary space. The Landi Renzo Group continues its constant commitment to pursuing the material separation and recycling policy.
The total amount of waste produced in 2022 by the Group's Italian companies was 1,054 tonnes, of which 989 tonnes (94%) classified as "non-hazardous" and only 65 tonnes (6%) classified as "hazardous". Net increase with respect to past years, as the Company, aside from performing a number of recent acquisitions, scrapped, in addition to systematic disposal activities for materials to be discarded:

Furthermore, the methods of disposal and otherwise were estimated for the Companies IMW Industries LTDA Colombia, IMW Industries LTD Shanghai/ IMW Energy Tech LTD China and Metatron Control Systems Co., Ltd.
The waste produced in 2022 by the Group is from production and logistics operations and also includes in part the disposal of obsolete products and materials that can no longer be used. As regards Italian companies, there was no movement of waste during 2022, other than urban waste and therefore no operations have been logged in the waste register. At the end of 2021 with the formal closure of the Lovato site, the Companies will on various occasions scrap materials included in the dedicated registers, reported on in 2022.

In 2022 there were no recorded spills of hazardous substances or products that may have caused
environmental pollution.

All the Italian companies in the Group monitor noise emissions through specific sound measurements to assess noise level in the surrounding environment. These tests were necessary to obtain the Single Environmental Authorisation for the various Italian sites and to verify the acoustic impact to ensure worker health and safety within the production areas. The noise measurement points were located on minor roads adjacent to site boundaries, close to the plants or equipment classified as sources of noise, such as air compressors and air conditioning systems. The sound level measurements showed that the premises generate a steady, constant noise level. Noise fluctuations are affected by noise due to vehicular traffic or other noise extraneous to production activity, which if taken individually respects the limits established by municipal regulations. Processing sound data has enabled the potential effects of noise in the workplace under normal operational conditions to be quantified, and values below threshold limits, which fully comply with existing legislation, have been noted.
Further investigations will be required if there are substantial changes to production, in order to identify and analyse the noise impact of the new production method.

At the end of financial year and to date, we note:
After a 2022 characterised by external factors which influenced its performance, albeit within an uncertain macroeconomic environment, the management took a series of actions at Group level to limit direct costs and improve productivity and working capital, and also continued with its integration of the newlyacquired companies, in order to maximise synergies and concentrate on the future growth of the hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas business, which in the course of 2023 will translate into a progressive increase in turnover and margins that will become more visible during the second half of the year.

• In June 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A. and a pool of lending banks (same counterparties as those disbursing the pool loan taken out on 26 June 2019 and the loan backed by the SACE guarantee taken out on 30 July 2020) entered into two new loan agreements for a total of Euro 73 million, in order to replace the loan backed by the SACE guarantee and extinguish the pool loan: i) a new loan agreement backed by the SACE guarantee (effective as of 29 June 2022) which, for the same financed amount (Euro 21 million), calls for the deferral of the pre-amortisation period of 24 months and repayment of the final instalment on 31 March 2028; ii) a new pool loan agreement, for a financed amount of Euro 52 million (compared with the remaining Euro 46 million on the previous pool loan agreement), which calls for a 24-month pre-amortisation period and repayment of the final instalment of Euro 20.5 million in June 2027.The effectiveness of that agreement was subject to the condition precedent of the performance of the above-mentioned share capital increase by 30 September 2022 in an amount of at least Euro 50 million. The new agreements call for the calculation of financial parameters (NFP/EBITDA) starting from the calculation date of 31 December 2022.
and calendar of the paid share capital increase, on the basis of the criteria set by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2022 and in light of several adjustments made for technical reconciliation purposes, in a total maximum amount of Euro 59,625,000 (of which Euro 11,250,000.00 for the share capital increase and Euro 48,375,000.00 for the share premium) by issuing up to 112,500,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of Euro 0.10, and with regular dividend entitlement, to be offered under option to the shareholders at the ratio of 1 new share for every 1 ordinary share held, at a unit issue price of Euro 0.53, including the share premium. The option price of the new shares was determined by the Board of Directors by applying, on the basis of the resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2022, as well as, for technical reconciliation reasons, a discount of 16.09% on the theoretical ex right price (TERP) of the Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares, calculated in accordance with current methodologies on the basis of the weighted average trading price of Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares in the 5 previous trading days, i.e., 4 July 2022 to 8 July 2022.
the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by FPT Industrial and Landi Renzo S.p.A. last year, for the development of complete, efficient solutions for increasingly sustainable mobility aiming to facilitate the introduction of hydrogen in the transport sector. Landi Renzo S.p.A. handled the development of the entire hydrogen system, from storage on board the vehicle until injection, including the electronic control of the hydrogen system.
Related Parties. After the remaining 1,844,728 shares were subscribed on 19 September 2022, the share capital increase was therefore fully subscribed.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the IFRS-EU, i.e., all International Financial Reporting Standards, all International Accounting Standards (IAS) and all interpretations of the International Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), previously called the Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC), which, at the reporting date, had been endorsed by the European Union in accordance with the procedure laid out in Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002, including Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (the "ESEF Regulation").The IFRSs were applied uniformly to all periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements of Landi Renzo S.p.A. at 31 December 2022 were approved and authorised for publication by the Board of Directors on 14 March 2023.
The consolidated financial statements were drafted in Euro, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. The figures in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the consolidated Income Statement and the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period are expressed in Euro, the functional currency of the Company, while the data contained in the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the consolidated Table of Changes in Equity and in these Explanatory Notes are expressed in thousands of Euro.
The financial statement layouts and the relative classification criteria adopted by the Group, from amongst the options laid out in IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, are specified below:
In the current market context overshadowed by the continuation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential risks correlated with the Russia-Ukraine crisis, especially in terms of higher gas and energy costs, and the shortage of raw materials and the resulting price increases, the management has performed accurate analyses concerning expected trends for the year 2023 and thereafter, reconsidering estimates regarding the expected performance of the segment within the current context, in order to also consider the expected benefits of the initiatives put into place to develop the business. Furthermore, the management paid particularly close attention to the financial position, short/medium and long-term cash forecasts and financing options.
In this regard, the following significant events took place in 2022:
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 ("waiver letters") and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.
As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.
Following up on what is set forth above, and to take into account the changed market environment, the directors prepared the Group economic-financial budget for the year 2023, which was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 2 March 2023.
The directors believe that the forecasts for the years subsequent to 2023 included in the Group's economic-financial plan prepared for the 2022-2025 period and approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 15 March 2022 remain valid.
The Group's economic-financial budget for the year 2023 shows (i) an adequate level of Group liquidity to cover its financial requirements, also highlighting sufficient residual available cash to cover the months subsequent to 31 December 2023 and (ii) that the Group will be capable of respecting the abovementioned financial covenants at the Calculation Date of 30 June and 31 December 2023.
Considering what is set forth above, as well as taking into account:
the directors have not identified circumstances such so as to jeopardise the Group's capacity to meet its corporate obligations and as a result have drafted the consolidated financial statements of the Landi Renzo Group at 31 December 2022 on a going concern basis.

The accounting standards adopted in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the previous year, with the exception of the adoption of the new accounting standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations applicable as of 1 January 2022 listed below.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description |
|---|---|
| Regulation (EU) | The IASB published the following amendments: IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS |
| 2021/1080 | 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and |
| Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (issued on 14 May 2020). |
The accounting principles and modifications to the accounting principles described above have not had significant effects on the Group's financial statements.
The following table lists the new international accounting standards, or the amendments of standards and interpretations already in force, which must begin being applied from 1 January 2023 or thereafter.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description |
|---|---|
| (EU) 2021/2036 | The IASB published IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts which aims to improve |
| 23 November |
understanding of the exposure to risk, profitability and the financial position of |
| 2021 | insurers. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4. |
| (EU) 2022/1491 9 September 2022 |
The IASB published the amendment to IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts: initial |
| application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative information. The amendment is a | |
| transition option relating to comparative information on financial statements | |
| presented on initial application of IFRS 17 and aims to help insurance companies to | |
| avoid temporary accounting misalignments between financial assets and insurance | |
| contract liabilities, and therefore to improve the usefulness of comparative | |
| information for users of financial reports. This amendment is not applicable to the | |
| Group. | |
| (EU) 2022/1392 12 August 2022 |
The IASB published an amendment named "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: |
| Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction". The | |
| document clarifies how deferred tax liabilities need to be recognised on certain |

| transactions that may generate assets and liabilities of equal amounts, such as leases | |
|---|---|
| and decommissioning obligations. | |
| (EU) 2022/357 | The IASB published amendments named "Disclosure of Accounting Policies – |
| 3 March 2022 | Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2" and "Definition of Accounting |
| Estimates –Amendments to IAS 8" intended to improve the disclosure on accounting | |
| policies so as to provide more useful information to readers of the financial | |
| statements, as well as help companies to distinguish changes in accounting estimates | |
| from changes in accounting policies. |
The Group, which did not exercise the right of early application, is evaluating the effects that the adoption of such standards may have on its financial statements.
The IASB made amendments to several international accounting standards issued previously and published new international accounting standards, for which the approval process has not yet been completed.
| Date | Description |
|---|---|
| 30 January 2014 | IFRS 14 entered into force on 1 January 2016, but the European Commission decided |
| to suspend the endorsement process pending the new accounting standard on rate | |
| regulated activities. IFRS 14 allows only entities which adopt IFRS for the first time to | |
| continue to recognise rate regulation balances in accordance with the previous | |
| accounting standards adopted. To improve comparability with entities that already | |
| apply IFRS and do not recognise such balances, the standard requires the effect of | |
| rate regulation to be presented separately from other items. | |
| (EU) 2022/357 | The IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements: |
| 3 March 2022 | Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" with the aim of clarifying how |
| to classify payables and other liabilities as short or long term. | |
| Regulation (EU) |
The IASB published an amendment named "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions |
| 2021/1421 | beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendments to IFRS 16)" which extends by one year the |
| period of application of the amendment to IFRS 16, issued in 2020, relating to the | |
| recognition of concessions granted to lessees as a result of COVID-19. |
The accounting standards described hereafter were applied uniformly for all the periods included in these consolidated financial statements and by all the entities of the Group.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the separate financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries approved by the management bodies of the individual companies, adjusted accordingly, when required, to bring them into line with the accounting standards adopted by the Company. It is reported that all companies in the Group close their financial year on 31 December with the exception of the Indian company Officine Lovato Private Limited which closes the financial year on 31 March, for which an asset and income statement was prepared at 31 December 2022, and used to prepare these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated companies are listed in the section on the "Scope of consolidation" below.
Subsidiaries are the companies in which the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The existence of control is checked every time facts and circumstances point to a change in one or more of the three elements constituting control. Generally, the existence of control is assumed when the Group directly or indirectly holds more than half of the voting rights, also taking into consideration potential rights which are immediately exercisable or convertible.
Assets and liabilities and income and expenses of the subsidiaries are consolidated line-by-line, from the date on which the Parent Company gains direct or indirect (i.e., through one or more other subsidiaries) control over them until the date on which that control no longer exists, attributing, when applicable, the applicable portion of equity and net profit (loss) for the period to the minority shareholders and highlighting these separately in dedicated items of equity and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If shareholdings are acquired subsequent to the assumption of control (acquisition of minority interests), any difference between the purchase cost and the corresponding portion of equity acquired is recognised in the equity attributable to the Group; likewise, the effects arising from the transfer of minority interests with no loss of control are recognised in equity.
However, disposals of shares entailing the loss of control results in the recognition in the income statement:
The value of any remaining equity investment, aligned with its fair value at the date of loss of control, represents the new carrying amount of the investment and therefore the reference value for the subsequent measurement of the investment in accordance with applicable valuation criteria.
The portion of capital and reserves attributable to minority interests in subsidiaries and the portion attributable to minority interests of the value of profit or loss for the year of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately on the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Changes in stakes of the Group in a subsidiary company which do not lead to a loss of control are stated as transactions performed between shareholders, as such.
Profits arising from transactions between companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis, not yet realised with respect to third parties, are eliminated, as are the receivables, payables, income and expenses, guarantees, commitments and risks between consolidated companies.
In particular, profits not yet realised with third parties deriving from transactions between companies of the Group, including those deriving from the valuation of inventories at the date of the Financial Statements, were eliminated.
Profits and losses not yet realised with regard to third parties deriving from transactions with companies measured using the equity method are eliminated to the extent of the share pertaining to the Group.
Associates are companies in which the Group, even though it does not hold control or joint control, exercises significant influence over administrative and management decisions. Generally, the existence of significant influence is assumed when the Group directly or indirectly holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights.
Investments in associates are measured using the equity method.
The methodology for the application of the equity method is described below:
cancelled out and any excess pertaining to the Group is recognised in a dedicated provision only when the Group has committed to meeting legal or implicit obligations of the investee or in any event to cover its losses. Changes in the equity of investees not resulting from profit and loss are accounted for as a direct adjustment of the Group's equity reserves;
Joint ventures are companies in which the Group exercises joint control, based on exercisable voting rights, in compliance with contractual agreements, shareholders' agreements or the companies' Articles of Association.
Investments in joint ventures are measured with the equity method, as described in the "Associates" section above, from the date on which joint control begins to the date on which it ends.
The Group had two joint ventures at 31 December 2022.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for with the acquisition method. The acquisition cost is determined by the sum of current values, at the trade date, of the assets acquired, the liabilities incurred or assumed and the financial instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control over the acquired business.
The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business which meet the conditions for recognition in accordance with IFRS 3 are recognised at their current values at the acquisition date, with the exception of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, which are recognised and measured at current values minus costs to sell.
The goodwill deriving from the acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, represented by the excess acquisition cost with respect to the Group's share of the current values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after the recalculation of such values, the Group's share of the current values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the acquisition cost, the excess is immediately recognised in the income statement.
Non-controlling interests in the acquired business are initially recognised to an extent equal to their share of the current values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.
The financial statements in the currency of the foreign subsidiaries are converted into the accounting currency, adopting the year-end exchange rate for the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the average exchange rate over the year for the Consolidated Income Statement. The conversion differences deriving from the adjustment of the opening Equity according to the current exchange rates at the end of the period, and those due to the different method used for conversion of the result for the period, are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and classified among other reserves.
The following table specifies the main exchange rates used for the conversion of financial statements expressed in currencies other than the accounting currency.
| Exchange rate (Value against €) | At 31/12/2022 | Average 2022 | At 31/12/2021 | Average 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real – Brazil | 5.639 | 5.440 | 6.310 | 6.378 |
| Renminbi – China | 7.358 | 7.079 | 7.195 | 7.628 |
| Rupee - Pakistan | 241.794 | 214.855 | 200.877 | 192.732 |
| Zloty – Poland | 4.681 | 4.686 | 4.597 | 4.565 |
| Leu - Romania | 4.950 | 4.931 | 4.949 | 4.921 |
| Dollar - USA | 1.067 | 1.053 | 1.133 | 1.183 |
| Peso - Argentina | 188.503 | 136.777 | 116.362 | 112.422 |
| Colombian Peso - Colombia | 5,172.470 | 4,473.280 | 4,598.680 | 4,429.479 |
| Canadian Dollar - Canada | 1.444 | 1.369 | 1.439 | 1.483 |
| Nuevo Sol - Peru | 4.046 | 4.038 | 4.519 | 4.591 |
| Rupee - India | 88.171 | 82.686 | 84.229 | 87.439 |
Tangible assets were recognised in accordance with the cost criterion at the purchase price or the production cost inclusive of directly attributable accessory costs necessary to make the assets ready for use.
The carrying amount of tangible assets is subsequently adjusted for systematic depreciation, calculated on a straight-line basis from the moment in which the asset is available and ready for use, based on its useful life, understood as the estimated period in which the asset will be used by the company, and any accumulated loss for impairment.
When the asset to be depreciated consists of distinctly identifiable elements whose useful life differs significantly from that of the other parts of the asset, each of those parts are depreciated separately in application of the component approach method.
Any financial expense directly attributable to the purchase and production of tangible assets is capitalised and depreciated on the basis of the useful life of the asset to which it refers.
The following annual depreciation rates are used:
| Categories | Depreciation period | Depreciation rates |
|---|---|---|
| Land | Indefinite useful life | |
| Buildings | Straight-line basis | 3 - 20% |
| Plant and machinery | Straight-line basis | 10 - 20% |
| Industrial and commercial equipment | Straight-line basis | 10 - 25% |
| Other assets | Straight-line basis | 12 - 33% |
The residual value and the useful life of tangible assets are reviewed at least annually and updated, when applicable, at the end of each year. Based on the analysis performed by the management it was not necessary to amend the useful life compared to those applied in the previous financial year.
Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are charged in their entirety to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Costs for improvements, upgrades and transformation having an incremental nature are attributed to the tangible assets to which they refer, when it is probable that they will increase the future economic benefits expected from the use or the sale of the asset, and depreciated based on the remaining useful life of the assets.
Costs capitalised for leasehold improvements are classified under property and depreciated at the lower of the residual economic usefulness of the improvement and the residual duration of the underlying contract.
The financial expenses directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a tangible asset are recognised in the income statement at the moment at which they are incurred, in accordance with the appropriate accounting treatment provided for by IAS 23.
The carrying amount of tangible assets is subjected to verification in order to discover any possible impairment, using the methods described in the paragraph "Impairment of assets".
At the moment of sale or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use of an asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any loss or profit (calculated as the difference between the sale value and the carrying amount) is recognised in the income statement in the year of the aforementioned elimination.
Intangible assets consist of identifiable non-monetary elements with no physical consistency, which can be controlled and can generate future economic benefits. These elements are initially recognised at purchase and/or production cost, inclusive of expenses directly attributable to make the asset ready for use. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis throughout their estimated useful life; amortisation rates are reviewed on an annual basis and are amended if the current useful life differs from that estimated previously. The useful life estimated by the Group for the various categories of intangible assets, valid for all periods presented, is shown below.
| Categories | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Development costs | from 3 to 5 years |
| Industrial patents and rights to use intellectual property | from 3 to 10 years |
| Software, licenses and others | from 3 to 5 years |
| Trademarks | from 7 to 18 years |
Research and development expenditure are recognised in the Income Statement for the year in which they are incurred, with the exception of development expenditure recognised under intangible assets if the conditions established in IAS 38, reported below, are satisfied:
The amortisation period starts only when the development phase is completed and the result generated by the project can be marketed, and is generally based on the estimated duration of the benefits linked with the product developed (generally between 3 and 5 years). Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost, minus accumulated amortisation and any accumulated losses from impairment.
The goodwill deriving from business combinations after 1 January 2005 is initially entered at cost, and represents the excess of the purchase cost over the purchaser's share of the net fair value referring to the identifiable values of existing and potential assets and liabilities.
At the acquisition date, any goodwill emerging is allocated to each of the cash generating units (or "CGUs") that are expected to benefit from the synergistic effects deriving from the acquisition. In order to identify the CGUs to which to allocate the goodwill tested for impairment, please note that the management, taking into account the Group reorganisation process taking place over recent years, the Group's current organisational structure, the methods whereby control is exercised over operations and the acquisition transactions taking place during the year and cited above, has identifiedtwo cash generating units in which the Landi Renzo Group operates. The CGUs identified refer to the Green Transportation (formerly Automotive) segment, dedicated primarily to the design, manufacture and sale through the OEM and After Market channels of mechanical and electronic systems and components for the use of gas (which as of August 2021 also includes the results of the Metatron Group) and the Clean Tech Solutions – Infrastructure segment, referring to the SAFE&CEC Group active in the design and production of compressors for the processing and distribution of gas as well as in the Oil & Gas market. After the initial recognition, since goodwill is regarded as an intangible asset with an indefinite life, it is no longer amortised and is decreased by any accumulated losses in value, determined as described below.
Goodwill is subjected to an analysis of recoverability on at least an annual basis, or even more frequently if events or changes in circumstances arise that could result in possible impairment, identifying the CGUs which benefit from acquisition synergies. Cash flows are discounted to the cost of capital as a function of the specific risks of the unit concerned. Impairment is stated when it emerges from the check on discounted cash flows that the recoverable value of the CGU is less than the carrying amount and is stated as a priority under goodwill.
Any impairment is identified through valuations that take as a reference the ability of each CGU to produce financial flows capable of recovering the portion of goodwill allocated to it. If the value recoverable by the CGU is less than the carrying amount attributed, the corresponding impairment is recognised.
Any losses in value of goodwill stated on the Income Statement are not restored if the reasons that generated them cease to exist.
Other intangible assets with finite useful life, acquired or self-created, are capitalised when it is probable that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and its cost can be measured reliably. These assets are initially recognised at purchase or development cost.
Costs incurred subsequently relating to intangible assets are capitalised only if they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset capitalised and they are amortised on the basis of the aforementioned criteria according to the assets to which they refer.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if it grants the right to use a specified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.
Each lease component is separate from other contract components, unless the Group adopts the practical expedient under paragraph 15 of IFRS 16, which allows the lessee to opt, for each class of underlying asset, to not separate the other components and to recognise them together with the lease components. The lease duration is determined as the lease period which is non-cancellable, to which the following periods are added:
In deciding whether the lessee has reasonable certainty of exercising these options, all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee in its evaluation are considered. The lessee must re-determine the lease duration if the non-cancellable period of the lease is changed.
At the date when the contract comes into effect, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and the relative lease liability. At the date when the contract comes into effect, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset includes:
At the effective date of the contract, the lessee shall measure the lease liability at the current value of payments owing for the leasing not paid at this date. Payments owing for the leasing include the following amounts:
Payments owing for the leasing must be discounted using the interest rate embedded in the contract, if it can be easily determined. If this is not possible, the lessee must use the marginal lending rate, i.e. the incremental interest rate that the company should pay to obtain a loan of the same duration and amount of the lease agreement.
After initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted to take account of any re-determination of lease liabilities.
After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured:
In the case of changes in leasing which do not constitute separate leasing, the right-of-use asset is redetermined, in keeping with the change in the lease liability at the date of the amendment. The lease liability is redetermined based on the new conditions in the lease agreement, using the discount rate at the date of the amendment.
The Group uses two exemptions, provided for by IFRS 16, with reference to:
In these cases, the asset comprising the right of use and relative liability is not recognised, and payments owing for the leasing are recognised in the income statement.
At each reporting date, tangible and intangible assets with a finite useful life are analysed in order to identify the existence of any indicators of impairment originating from sources external or internal to the Group. When these indicators are identified, the recoverable value of the above-mentioned assets is estimated, and any impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Management uses various assumptions in applying this method, including estimates of changes in revenues, the gross profit margin, operating costs, the growth rate of terminal values, investments, changes in operating capital and the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) which combine in defining a medium-term plan, specifically aimed at performing an impairment test, revised at least annually and approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company. The principal hypotheses formulated in relation to the plans of the CGU relevant for the impairment test are indicated in note 4 of these financial statements, to which reference should be made for further details.
If the carrying amount exceeds the recovery value, the assets or the cash generating units to which they belong are written down until they reflect the recovery value. Such losses are accounted for on the Income Statement.
The impairment test is carried out when conditions occur inside or outside the company that suggest that the assets have suffered a reduction in value. In the case of goodwill or other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, the impairment test is carried out at least annually. If the conditions that resulted in the impairment cease to exist, the same value is restored proportionally on the previously devalued assets until it reaches, at most, the value that such goods would have had, net of amortisation calculated on the historical cost, in the absence of a prior impairment. Restorations of value are recognised in the income statement.
The value of previously devalued goodwill is not restored, as provided for by the international accounting standards.
To evaluate any impairment of capitalised development expenditure, the Group attributes such costs to the corresponding specific projects and evaluates their recoverability based on forecasts of expected sales of the products to which the development costs refer. Specifically, if the margin arising from the abovementioned sales does not allow for the recoverability of capitalised costs, this constitutes impairment, which is reflected in the financial statements. This assessment is performed at each year-end close and/or in the presence of trigger events.
A tangible or intangible asset suffers a reduction in value if it is not possible to recover, either through use or sale, the carrying amount at which said asset is recorded in the financial statements. Therefore, the aim of the test (impairment test) provided for by IAS 36 is to assure that tangible and intangible fixed assets are not entered at a value greater than their recoverable value, which is the greater of the net sale price and the value in use.
The value in use is the current value of future financial flows that are expected to be generated by the asset or by the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The expected cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that reflects the current estimate of the market of reference referring to the cost of the money in proportion to the time and risks specific to the asset.
Investments in subsidiary companies, not consolidated due to their negligible importance, are evaluated using the cost method including directly related costs, adjusted according to impairment losses.
In the case where there is evidence of events indicative of long term impairment, the value of the equity investments is subjected to an impairment test according to the provisions of IAS 36. The original value is restored in subsequent years if the reasons for write-down cease to exist.
The risk deriving from any losses exceeding the cost is recorded under provisions, to the extent to which the Company is obliged or intends to be responsible for it.
Equity investments in joint ventures are measured using the equity method.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control refers to the sharing on a contractual basis of the control of an arrangement, which exists solely when decisions on significant activities require the unanimous consent of all parties sharing control.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified in one of the three categories listed below on the basis of the following elements:
Financial assets are subsequently derecognised only if the disposal entails the substantial transfer of all risks and rewards connected to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of the risks and rewards relating to the disposed financial assets has been retained, they continue to be recognised in the financial statements, even if legally their ownership has been effectively transferred.
This category includes the financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
These assets are initially recognised at fair value inclusive of the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets in question are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost method is not used for assets measured at historical cost whose short duration makes the effect of discounting negligible, for those without a defined maturity or for revocable credit lines.
This category includes the financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
This category includes shareholdings, not qualifiable as controlling, associated or of joint control, which are not held for trading, which the entity has opted to designate at fair value through other comprehensive income.
These assets are initially recognised at fair value inclusive of the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequently, shareholdings not qualifiable as controlling, associated or of joint control are measured at fair value, and amounts recognised as a matching entry to equity (statement of comprehensive income) should not be subsequently transferred to the income statement, even in the case of disposal. The only component referring to the equity instruments in question subject to recognition in the income statement is the relative dividends.
For the equity instruments included in this category not listed in an active market, the cost criterion is used to estimate fair value only on a residual basis and in a limited circumstances, or when the most recent information to measure fair value is insufficient, or if there is a broad range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range of values.
This category includes financial assets other than those classified under "Financial assets at amortised cost" and "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income".
This category includes financial assets held for trading and derivative contracts not qualified as hedges (which are represented as assets if the fair value is positive and as liabilities if the fair value is negative).
Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognised at fair value without considering the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value and the valuation effects are attributed to the income statement.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, the Group applies a simplified approach to estimate expected credit losses throughout the life of the instrument and takes into consideration its past experience with respect to credit losses, adjusted on the basis of specific forecasts relating to the nature of the Group's receivables and the economic context.
In brief, the Group measures expected losses on financial assets so as to reflect:
• an objective amount weighted on the basis of probabilities determined by assessing a range of possible results;
• the time value of money; and
• reasonable and demonstrable information that is available without excessive cost or effort at the reporting date on past events, current conditions and outlooks on future economic conditions.
A financial asset is impaired when one or more events with a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset takes place. Observable data relating to the following events constitute proof that the financial asset is impaired (it is possible that a single event may not be identifiable: the impairment of a financial asset may be due to the combined effect of different events):
a) significant financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor;
b) a violation of the contract, such as breach or an unmet deadline;
c) for economic or contractual reasons relating to the financial difficulties of the debtor, the creditor extends a concession to the debtor that the creditor would not have otherwise taken into consideration;
d) it is likely that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or other financial restructuring procedures;
e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties; or
f) the acquisition or creation of the financial asset with large discounts that reflect the credit losses incurred.
For financial assets at amortised cost, the value of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted on the basis of the original effective interest rate. This value is recognised in the income statement.
The item inventories includes raw materials and materials used in the production process, semi-finished products, spare parts and finished products.
Inventories are stated at the lower value between purchase or manufacturing cost, inclusive of accessory costs, measured according to the FIFO method, and the realisation value that can be inferred from market performance.
The measurement of inventories includes the direct costs of materials and labour and the indirect costs of production (variable and fixed), determined on the basis of normal production capacity.
Where necessary, depreciation funds are calculated for obsolete stocks or those with a slow turnaround taking account of their future possibility of use or recovery.
A project is a contract specifically entered into for the construction of an asset at the instruction of a client, which preliminarily defines its design and technical characteristics.
The assets and liabilities deriving from contracts with customers are classified in the statement of financial position items "Contract work in progress" and "Other current liabilities", in the assets and liabilities sections, respectively. Classification between contract work in progress and other current liabilities takes place on the basis of IFRS 15 depending on the relationship between the Group's service and the customer's payment; indeed, the items in question represent the sum of the following components analysed individually for each order:
(+) Value of work in progress, determined on the basis of the rules laid out in IFRS 15, according to the cost-to-cost method
(-) Advances received
If the resulting value is positive, the net balance of the order is shown in the item "Contract work in progress" while if it is negative, it is shown in the item "Other current liabilities".
Work in progress is valued on the basis of the consideration defined with clients in relation to the progress of the work. Revenues related to contract work in progress are recognised using the percentage of completion criterion.
The percentage of completion is determined using the cost to cost method, calculated by multiplying the total revenue expected by the percentage of progress, as a ratio between costs incurred and expected total costs.
The measurement of contract work in progress and other current liabilities reflects the best estimate of work completed at the reporting date; updates are periodically performed of the assumptions underlying the measurements, and any economic effects are accounted for in the year in which the updates are made.
If events occur subsequent to the reporting date but before the approval of the financial statements which provide further evidence concerning any profits or losses on orders, such further evidence is taken into account in determining the contractual revenues or costs to complete in order to incorporate such profits or losses.
If the expected costs for the completion of the project exceed the total expected revenue, the final loss is fully recognised in the period in which it arises.
In measuring work in progress, all costs directly attributable to the project are taken into account, as well as the contractual risks and revision clauses when they can be objectively determined.
In this regard, revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by applying a five-step model with the procedures described in the "Recognition of revenues" section below.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value. The initial value is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of capital, any write-downs and the amortisation of the difference between repayment amount and initial value. Amortisation is performed on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of expected cash flows and the initial value (so-called amortised cost method). If there is objective evidence indicating impairment, the asset value is decreased to the discounted value of the future flows obtainable from it. Such losses are recognised on the Income Statement. If, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the preceding write-down no longer exist, the value of the asset is restored to the amount that would have derived from applying the amortised cost without write-down.
The provision for bad debts, determined in order to measure receivables at their effective realisation value, includes write-downs recognised in order to take account of objective indications that trade receivables are impaired. Write-downs, which are based on the most recent information available and management's best estimate, are recognised in such a way as to decrease impaired assets to the present value of future cash flows obtainable from them.
Other receivables and other current financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, the receivables are measured with the amortised cost method on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of expected cash flows and the initial value.
If there is objective evidence indicating impairment, the asset value is decreased to the discounted value of the future flows obtainable from it. Such losses are recognised on the Income Statement. If, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the preceding write-down no longer exist, the value of the asset is restored to the amount that would have derived from applying the amortised cost without write-down.
Financial assets are derecognised when one of the following conditions is met:
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, or when the contractual obligation has been met, is cancelled or is time-barred. An exchange of debt instruments with substantially different contractual terms must be accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Likewise, a substantial change in the contractual terms of an existing financial liability, even partial, must be accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
The Group is permitted to assign part of its trade receivables through factoring transactions. The operations for assignment of receivables can be with or without recourse; some non-recourse assignments include deferred payment clauses (for example, the payment by the factor of a minority part
of the purchase price is subordinate to the total collection of receivables), requiring an exemption on the part of the assignor or implying the maintenance of significant exposure to the progress of the financial flows deriving from the receivables assigned.
This type of operation does not meet the requirements laid down by IFRS 9 for eliminating financial assets from the balance sheet, since the associated benefits and risks have not been substantially transferred.
Consequently, all the receivables assigned through factoring operations that do not meet the requirements for elimination established by IFRS 9 continue to be recorded in the Financial Statements of the Group, although they have been legally assigned; a financial liability for the same amount is recorded in the financial statements as Payables for Advances on Assignment of Receivables. Profits and losses related to the assignment such assets are recorded only when the same assets are removed from Statement of Financial Position of the Group.
At 31 December 2022, the Group companies had only performed assignments of trade receivables without recourse that meet all the requirements established by IFRS 9 for the derecognition of such receivables.
The item relating to cash and cash equivalents includes, primarily, bank deposits repayable on demand, as well as cash on hand and other short-term investments that are highly convertible (convertible into cash and cash equivalents within ninety days). Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value, which usually coincides with their nominal value; any changes are recognised on the Income Statement.
For the purposes of representing cash flows for the period, when drawing up the Cash Flow Statement, short-term bank debts are represented among the cash flows of the financing activities, since they are for the most part attributable to bank advances and short term bank loans.
The share capital is made up of the ordinary shares of the Parent Company in circulation.
The costs relating to the issue of new shares or options are classified in equity as a deduction of the income deriving from the issue of such instruments.
As provided for by IAS 32, if equity instruments are repurchased, such instruments (treasury shares) are recognised as a direct deduction from Equity under the item "Other Reserves". Gains or losses are not recognised on the Income Statement when treasury shares are purchased, sold or cancelled.
The consideration paid or received, including any cost directly incurred and attributable to the capital transaction, net of any related tax benefit, is directly recognised as an Equity transaction.
The statutory reserve is formed from the allocation of part of the Group companies' profit for the year (5% each year until it has reached 20% of the share capital) and may be used exclusively to cover losses. The other reserves include the reserves of profits and capital for a specific use, the profit (loss) of previous years not distributed or allocated to a reserve, as well as the reserve generated upon first-time application of IFRS.
Provisions for risks and charges are set aside to cover current obligations - legal or implicit - deriving from past events, for which a reliable estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation can be made at the end of the year. Provisions for risks and charges are stated if said charges are likely to be incurred. Any change in the estimate of provisions is reflected on the Income Statement in the period when it occurs.
If a liability is regarded as merely potential, no allocation to provisions for risk and charges is made and only adequate information is provided in these notes to the financial statements.
When the financial effect of time is significant and the date of cash outflows associated with the obligation can be reliably determined, the estimated cost is discounted to the present value using a rate reflecting the current market values and includes the additional effects relating to the specific risk that may be associated with each liability. After discounting, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financial expense.
The product warranty provision is stated on sale of the underlying goods or supply of the underlying services. The provision is determined using historical information on warranties and by weighting the probability associated with possible results.
The provisions are periodically updated to reflect changes in estimated costs, realisation timing and the discount rate; revisions of the estimated provisions are recognised in the same item of the Income Statement which previously included the provision or, when the liability relates to an asset, as a matching entry to the asset to which it refers.
Short-term benefits are represented by salaries, wages, the relative social security contributions, compensation in lieu of holidays and incentives provided in the form of a bonus payable in twelve months after the reporting date. These benefits are accounted for as components of personnel cost in the period in which the work activity is provided.
Post-employment benefits are broken down into two types: defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
In defined contribution plans, social security contributions are recognised in the Income Statement when they are incurred, based on the relative nominal value.
Defined benefit plans are represented by the TFR (employee severance indemnity) contributions accrued up to 31 December 2006 for the employees of the Group. These are measured in accordance with IAS 19 by independent actuaries, using the projected unit funding method.
This calculation consists in estimating the amount of benefit that an employee will receive at the expected retirement date, using demographic assumptions (such as, for example, death rate and personnel turnover rate) and financial assumptions (such as, for example, discount rate and future salary increases). The amount thus determined is discounted to the present value and re-proportioned based on the accrued length of service compared to the total length of service and represents a reasonable estimate of the benefits that each employee has already accrued because of his/her service. The discount rate used derives from the curve of rates on AA bonds at the end of the reporting period.
Actuarial gains and losses emerging following the revaluations of net liabilities for defined benefit plans were immediately entered in the other items of the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Net interest and other costs of defined benefit plans are stated under profit/(loss) for the year.
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or implicit obligation to pay further contributions. The contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the periods in which the employees provide their work. Contributions paid in advance are recorded as assets to the extent that the advance payment will result in a reduction in future payments or a refund.
The cost of transactions regulated with equity instruments is determined by the fair value at the date of assignment, using an appropriate measurement method. This cost, together with the corresponding increase in shareholders' equity, is recognised under personnel costs for the period when conditions relative to achieving objectives and/or the provision of the service are met. The accumulated costs recognised for these transactions at the end of the reporting period up to the date of accrual are commensurate with the expiry of the accrual period and the best estimate of the number of instruments serving the plan at the time of accrual.
The service or performance conditions are not considered when the fair value for the plan is defined at the assignment date. However, the likelihood that these conditions are met in defining the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will be accrued is considered.
Market conditions are reflected in the fair value at the assignment date.
Any other condition related to the plan, which does not entail a service obligation, is not considered as a condition of accrual.
Non-accrual conditions are reflected in the fair value of the plan and require immediate recognition of the plan cost, unless there are also service or performance conditions.
When the rights include a market condition or a non-accrual condition, these are treated as if they had accrued regardless of whether market conditions or other non-accrual conditions are met or not, save for all other performance and/or service conditions having to be met.
A cost for each change that increases the total fair value of the payment plan, or that is favourable for employees in any case, is recognised as a cost; this cost is measured with reference to the date of the change. When a plan is cancelled by the entity or counterparty, any remaining part of the fair value of the plan is immediately recognised in the income statement.
Trade payables are stated at the fair value of the initial consideration received in exchange and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade payables with due dates that fall under normal sales terms are not discounted to the present value.
In keeping with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments may be measured on a hedge accounting basis when:
If a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value (fair value hedge) of an asset or liability attributable to a particular risk that could affect profit or loss, the profit or loss arising from subsequent fair value measurements of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement. The profit or loss on the hedged item, attributable to the hedged risk, change the carrying amount of this item and are recognised in the income statement.
When a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recognised as other comprehensive income and presented in the cash flow hedge reserve. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument which is recognised in other comprehensive income is limited to the accumulated change in fair value of the hedged instrument (at the current value) from the start of hedging. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recognised immediately in the income statement.
If the hedging no longer meets eligibility criteria or the hedging instrument is sold, matures or is exercised, the recognition of hedging transactions stops on a forward-looking basis. When an entity discontinues hedge accounting for a cash flow hedge, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in shareholders' equity until, in the case of the hedging of a transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, it is included in the cost of the non-financial asset or liability at the time of initial recognition, or in the case of other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit/loss in the same year or in the same years when the hedged future cash flows have an effect on the income statement.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount is immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve and hedge costs reserve to the income statement.
If hedge accounting cannot be adopted, profits or losses arising from the fair value measurement of the derivative financial instrument are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Short- and long-term financial payables and other short- and long-term liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. The initial value is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of principal and the amortisation of the difference between repayment amount and initial value. Amortisation is performed on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of cash flows connected to the liability and the initial value (socalled amortised cost method). When there is a change in cash flows and it is possible to estimate them reliably, the value of payables is recalculated to reflect that change on the basis of the present value of the new cash flows and the internal rate of return initially determined.
The item "Tax liabilities" includes all liabilities to the Tax Authorities payable or offsettable in the shortterm connected with direct and indirect taxes.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the following conditions are met:
The Group recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it fulfils the performance obligation, transferring the good or service (or the asset) to the customer. The asset is transferred when the customer acquires control over it.
The Group transfers control over the good or service over time, and therefore fulfils the performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, when one of the following criteria is met:
• the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits arising from the entity's service as it is provided;
• the service of the Group creates or improves the asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or improved;
• the service of the Group does not create an asset which has an alternative use for the Group and the Group has the enforceable right to payment for the service completed until the date considered.
If the performance obligation is not met over time, it is met at a specific moment. In that case, the Group recognises revenue when the customer acquires control over the promised asset.
The contractual consideration included in the contract with the customer may include fixed or variable amounts or both. If the contractual consideration includes a variable amount as discounts, price allowances, incentives, penalties or other similar elements, the Group estimates the amount of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer. The Group includes the amount of the estimated variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent to which it is highly likely that when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, there will not be a significant downward adjustment in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised.
The Group allocates the contractual price to the individual performance obligations on the basis of the stand-alone selling prices (SSP) of the individual performance obligations. When there is no SSP, the Group estimates the SSP using a market adjusted approach.
The Group applies its judgement in determining the performance obligation, variable consideration and the allocation of the transaction price.
Incremental costs for obtaining customer contracts are accounted for as assets and amortised throughout the term of the underlying contract, if the Group expects them to be recovered. Incremental costs for obtaining the contract are costs that the Group incurs to obtain the contract with the customer and which it would not have incurred if it had not obtained the contract. The costs for obtaining the contract which would have been incurred even if the contract had not been obtained should be recognised as a cost at the moment they are incurred, unless they are explicitly chargeable to the customer even if the contract is not obtained.
The costs incurred to perform contracts with customers are capitalised as assets and amortised throughout the term of the underlying contract only if such costs do not fall under the scope of application of another accounting standard (such as IAS 2 - Inventories, IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment or IAS 38 - Intangible assets) and satisfy all of the following conditions:
• the costs are directly correlated with the contract or an expected contract, which the entity can specifically identify;
• the costs provide the entity with new or greater resources to be used to meet (or continue to meet) performance obligations in the future;
• it is expected that such costs will be recovered.
Grants from public and private bodies are recognised at fair value when it is reasonably certain that they will be received and the conditions for receiving them will be met.
Grants related to income (provided as immediate financial assistance to an entity or to cover expenses and losses incurred in a previous year) are fully recognised in the Income Statement when the abovementioned conditions, necessary for their recognition, are met.
No capital contributions were obtained in the year in question.
Costs are recognised in so far as it is possible to reliably determine that economic benefits will flow to the Group. Costs for services are recognised for the year in question at the moment when they are received.
Dividends are recognised on the Income Statement on the date on which the right to receive them matures.
Income and charges of a financial nature are recognised on an accrual basis, on the basis of the interest accrued on the net value of the related financial assets and liabilities, using the effective interest method.
Income taxes include current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are generally stated on the Income Statement, except when they refer to items directly accounted for in equity or in the general Income Statement. Current taxes are income taxes expected to be paid or received, calculated by applying the rate applicable at the date of the financial statements to the taxable income or tax losses for the year.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the so-called liability method on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding tax values. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not stated on goodwill and on assets and liabilities which do not influence taxable income. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be in force when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only when it is likely that taxable profits sufficient to realise these assets will be generated in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only for homogeneous expiry dates, when there is a legal right to offset and when they refer to recoverable taxes due to the same tax authority. Income tax deriving from distribution of dividends is stated when the liability relating to their payment is recognised.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets is checked at the end of each period, on the basis of plans duly approved by the Board of Directors and described below, and any part for which recovery is unlikely is stated on the Income Statement.
Since 2022, the Company has adhered, as the consolidating company, to the national consolidation tax scheme pursuant to Articles 117 to 129 of the Italian Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R) with the other Italian companies of the Group, i.e., SAFE S.p.A and SAFE&CEC S.r.l. This was renewed for the 2022-2024 period.
The functional and presentation currency of Landi Renzo S.p.A. is the Euro. As required by IAS 21, transactions in foreign currency of each Group entity are initially recognised at the exchange rate in place on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are reconverted to the functional currency at the exchange rate in place on the closing date of the Financial Statements.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate in force on the initial date that the transaction was recognised.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
The exchange differences realised at the time of collecting from debtors and paying creditors in foreign currency are entered in the Income Statement.
The Group determines the earnings per share based on IAS 33 - Earnings per share.
(a) Basic earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) pertaining to the Group shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation during the year, excluding treasury shares.
(b) Diluted earnings per share
The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) pertaining to the Group shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation during the year, excluding treasury shares. To calculate the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average of shares in circulation is modified assuming the exercise by all assignees of rights with a potentially dilutive effect, while the profit (loss) pertaining to Group shareholders is adjusted to take into account any effects, net of taxes, of the exercise of such rights.
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard IFRS 7, supplementary information is supplied on the financial instruments in order to evaluate:

The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires the application of accounting standards and methods that are sometimes based on subjective assessments and estimates based, in turn, on past experience and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic given the circumstances. Application of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts presented in the financial statements, such as the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of Cash Flows, and in disclosures provided.
Please note that the situation caused by the current economic and financial scenario has resulted in the necessity to make assumptions on future performance that are characterised by significant uncertainty, in particular following the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the potential risks correlated with the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Therefore it cannot be excluded that results different to those estimated may be realised in the coming years. Such results could therefore require adjustments, that may even be considerable, which obviously cannot be either estimated or predicted at this stage, to the carrying amount of the relative items. For a more detailed analysis of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential risks deriving from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, please refer to the Directors' Report.
The items on the financial statements that most require greater subjectivity on the part of the directors in producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used can have a significant impact on the financial statements are listed below:
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each variation are immediately reflected on the Income Statement.
For an indication of the economic values of these estimates, please refer to the relative points of these notes.
The directors also evaluated the applicability of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, and concluded that this assumption is suitable as there are no doubts as to business continuity.
A description is provided below of the most significant accounting standards that require, more than the others, greater subjectivity on the part of the directors in producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumption used may have a significant impact on the financial data of the Group.
Trade receivables are adjusted with the relevant write-down fund in order to take account of their effective recoverable value. The determination of the amount of depreciation carried out requires the directors to make subjective evaluations based on the documentation and on the information available, also in relation to the solvency of the customer, as well as on experience and historical trends.
The continuation of the current economic and financial situation and its possible aggravation could lead to further deterioration in the financial conditions of the Group's debtors beyond that already taken into consideration prudentially in quantifying the write-downs recorded in the financial statements.
In accordance with the accounting standards applied by the Group, goodwill and intangible assets in progress are subjected to annual verification (impairment test) in order to assess whether they have suffered a reduction in value, which is stated through a write-down, when the net carrying amount of the CGU to which these items are allocated appears to be greater than its recoverable value (defined as the greater value between the value in use and the fair value of the same). The above mentioned value confirmation check necessarily requires subjective evaluations to be made based on the information available within the Group, and on the reference market outlook and historical trends. In addition, whenever it is supposed that a potential reduction in value could be generated, the Group determines said reduction using those evaluation techniques considered suitable. The same value tests and evaluation techniques are applied to intangible and tangible assets with a defined useful life when indicators exist that predict difficulties in recovering the corresponding net carrying amount. The correct identification of elements indicative of the existence of a potential reduction in value as well as the estimates for determination of the reduction depend principally on factors that can vary over time, even significantly, therefore influencing the evaluations and estimates made by the directors.
Establishing whether or not a current obligation (legal or implied) exists is in some cases difficult to determine. The directors assess such phenomena on a case by case basis, together with an estimate of the amount of the economic resources required in order to meet that obligation. When the directors consider that is merely possible that liabilities may arise, the risks are indicated in the appropriate information section on commitments and risks, without resulting in any allocation in the financial statements.
The Group offers defined benefit plans to some of its employees. Using the services of experts and actuaries, management used various statistical assumptions and evaluation factors to calculate the charges and the current value of assets and liabilities relating to these plans. The assumptions relate to the discount rate, the expected return on the assets servicing the plan, the rates of future salary increases, demographic trends, the inflation rate and expected health costs. The actuaries consulted also use subjective factors, such as mortality and resignation rates.
The Group has assigned the CEO of the Parent Company and other managers a compensation plan named the "2022-2024 Performance Shares Plan" concerning the free assignment of the right to receive Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares free of charge based on the degree to which specific performance objectives are reached. Using the services of experts and actuaries, management used various statistical assumptions and evaluation factors to calculate the charges and the current value of assets and liabilities relating to these plans.
Based on product sales, the Group allocates provisions according to the costs estimated as likely to be incurred for product warranties. Management establishes the value of such provisions on the basis of historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of operations carried out under warranty and on the basis of specific contractual agreements.
The Group constantly strives to improve the quality of its products and to minimise the burden deriving from operations under warranty.
The Group is subject to lawsuits regarding a number of disputes that were submitted to the jurisdiction of various States. Given the inherent uncertainty of these disputes, it is difficult to predict with certainty the resulting financial cost, or the time frame within which it will arise. The lawsuits and disputes against the Group derive primarily from complex legal problems, that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty, considering the facts and circumstances involved in each dispute and the different laws applicable. To assess the risks deriving from potential liabilities of a legal nature correctly and prudentially, management periodically obtains information on the situation from its legal advisers. The Group establishes a liability in relation to such disputes when it considers it likely that a financial cost will occur and when the amount of the resulting losses can be reasonably estimated.
Closing inventories of products with characteristics of obsolescence or slow turnaround are periodically subjected to tests for their correct valuation and are written down where the recoverable value thereof is less than the carrying amount. The write-downs carried out are based, primarily, on assumptions and estimates of management deriving from its experience and the historical results achieved, as well as estimates of the use/sale of inventories.
A customer contract is identified and valued on the basis of IFRS 15 after the contract which results in the emergence of reciprocal obligations between the Group and the customer is signed. In the Landi Renzo Group's customer contracts, the performance obligation is generally represented by the order as a whole.
The method deemed most representative for the recognition of revenues is the cost-to-cost method, determined by applying the percentage of progress, as a ratio between costs incurred and expected total costs, to the total expected contractual revenues.
The Group capitalises the costs for the fulfilment of the contract, i.e., those costs that refer directly to the contract, generate and improve the resources that will be used to satisfy the contractual performance obligation and are recoverable through the future economic benefits of the contract. The assets and liabilities deriving from the contract are classified in the statement of financial position items "Contract assets" and "Contract liabilities", in the assets and liabilities sections, respectively. Classification between contract assets and liabilities, on the basis of what is established by the standard, is carried out based on the relationship between the Landi Renzo Group's service and the customer's payment. If the resulting value is positive, the net balance of the order is shown in the item "Contract assets", while if it is negative, it is shown in the item "Contract liabilities". If, on the basis of the contract, the values in question express an unconditional right to the consideration, they are reported as receivables. If the consideration accrued is expressed in foreign currency, it is calculated taking into account the exchange rates with which the relative currency hedging was carried out.
The valuation of deferred tax assets is made on the basis of taxable income expected in future years and expected tax rates at the date when the temporary differences are expected to occur, insofar as they are considered applicable in the future. The measurement of such expected profits depends on factors that may change over time and have a significant impact, therefore, on the valuation of deferred tax assets.
The Group deals with related parties under contractual conditions considered to reflect the arm's length conditions on the markets in question, taking account of the characteristics of the goods and services supplied and received.
In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard IFRS 7, the following analysis is provided regarding the nature and extent of risks deriving from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed, as well as the methodologies with which such risks are managed.
The main risks are reported and discussed at the Top Management level of the Group in order to create the prerequisites for their hedging, and insurance and assessment of the residual risk.
The Group is exposed to the interest rate risk associated with both cash at hand and with medium to long term financing. The exposure refers mainly to the Euro zone. As regards exposure to the risk of interest rate volatility, note that the financial indebtedness with banks is regulated primarily by variable interest rates. To partially reduce risks connected with fluctuating interest rates, the Group has entered into financial derivative contracts (interest rate swaps) in order to cover:
Interest rate risks were measured using sensitivity analysis and the potential impacts of Euribor interest rate fluctuations on the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022 were analysed with particular reference to cash and cash equivalents and to loans. The increase of 50 basis points on the Euribor, with all other variables remaining the same, would have produced an increase in financial expenses for the Group of Euro 552 thousand in comparison to an increase in financial income equal to Euro 203 thousand.
The Group sells part of its production and, although to a much lesser degree, also purchases some components in Countries outside the Euro zone. In relation to the exchange risk, the amount of the accounting balances expressed in currency other than the functional currency is to be considered as insignificant compared to the Group's total revenues. The Group has no hedging instruments to cover exchange rate fluctuations and, in accordance with its policy up to this moment, no derivatives are subscribed for trading purposes. Therefore, the Group remains exposed to exchange rate risk on the balances of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency at year end.
In relation to the exchange risk, it is reported that the amount of accounting balances expressed in currency other than the Euro is not considered significant compared to the total revenue of the Group, therefore the sensitivity analysis required by IFRS 7 is not provided as it is considered non-significant. The Group has not subscribed to instruments to cover exchange rate fluctuations and, in accordance with the company's policy up to this moment, no derivatives are subscribed solely for trading purposes. Therefore, the Group remains exposed to exchange rate risk on the balances of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency at year end.
The Group makes purchases and sales internationally, and therefore it is exposed to the normal risk of price fluctuation typical of its industry. Where possible, Group policy covers the risk through mediumterm supplier commitments.
The current market situation distinguished by a shortage of raw materials resulted on one hand in a reduction or deferral of orders from OEM customers, due to the need for automotive manufacturers to limit costs and avoid production interruptions, and on the other in difficulties in fulfilling existing orders, due to a series of complexities in obtaining raw materials. Furthermore, particularly in the OEM channel, in which long-term supply agreements are generally entered into, it was not always possible to reflect in due time the increase in raw material prices in sale prices. On the other hand, as regards the After Market channel, interventions on sale prices took place more promptly but, also due to growing competition in developing countries, it was not always possible to intervene to prevent the loss of market share.
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the counterparts of a financial instrument causes a financial loss through failure to fulfil an obligation and derives primarily from trade receivables, from other financial assets and from guarantees that may have been given by the Group.
The Group normally deals with known and reliable customers. It is the Group's policy to subject customers requesting extended payment conditions to procedures for checking their credit class. This check also includes external assessments when available. Sales limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum line of credit, beyond which direct approval by management is required. In addition, the balance of the receivables is monitored on a fortnightly basis over the period, in order to minimise exposure to the risk of losses. Finally, regarding new customers and those not operating in EU countries, a letter of credit to guarantee successful collection is normally used, where possible. The Company uses non-recourse assignment of debts.
The Group allocates a provision for impairment that reflects the estimated losses on trade receivables and on other creditors, made up primarily of individual write-downs of significant exposures. The Group has relations with customers of significant size, as it operates in the OEM channel.
The credit risk regarding the other financial assets of the Group, including cash and cash equivalents, presents a maximum risk equal to the carrying amount of these assets in the case of insolvency of the counterpart.
When required, the policies of the Group provide for the issue of financial guarantees in favour of subsidiary companies and associates. At 31 December 2022, the Group had provided its subsidiaries with a number of letters of patronage, in detail:

The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may have difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
The year 2022 was characterised by a general situation of uncertainty caused in particular by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the continuation of the effects of COVID in China. Due to the continuation of a difficult macroeconomic context, overshadowed by considerable uncertainty as to cash flows, the management is continuing to devote considerable attention to the financial position, short/medium-term cash forecasts and the financing options proposed by the government to support companies. In this regard, Landi Renzo S.p.A. received a new subsidised loan for Euro 19,500 thousand from Invitalia (Agenzia Nazionale per l'Attrazione degli Investimenti e lo sviluppo di impresa SpA).
Aside from this, and to demonstrate the creditworthiness of the Landi Renzo Group and in particular the SAFE&CEC Group that it controls, please recall the bond issued in late December 2021 by the subsidiary SAFE S.p.A. for a nominal amount of Euro 7 million and subscribed by Finint (Finanziaria Internazionale Investments SGR S.p.A.). The loan, with a contractual duration until 31 August 2027 and a gross annual nominal fixed rate of 5%, calls for half-yearly repayment starting from 1 January 2024 and is also subject to compliance with financial parameters with reference to the data set forth in the consolidated financial statements of the SAFE&CEC Group as at 31 December of each year. In this regard, please note that the financial parameters on the bond issue of the SAFE&CEC Group had been respected at 31 December 2022. The loan is intended to finance the acquisition by SAFE S.p.A. of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., which was completed in January 2022;
In June 2022, Landi Renzo S.p.A. and a pool of lending banks (same counterparties as those disbursing the pool loan taken out on 26 June 2019 and the loan backed by the SACE guarantee taken out on 30 July 2020) entered into two new loan agreements for a total of Euro 73 million, in order to replace the loan backed by the SACE guarantee and extinguish the pool loan. In particular: i) a new loan agreement backed by the SACE guarantee (effective as of 29 June 2022) which, for the same financed amount (Euro 21 million), calls for the deferral of the pre-amortisation period of 24 months and repayment of the final instalment on 31 March 2028; ii) a new pool loan agreement, for a financed amount of Euro 52 million (compared with the remaining Euro 46 million on the previous pool loan agreement), which calls for a 24-month pre-amortisation period and repayment of the final instalment of Euro 20.5 million in June 2027. The effectiveness of that agreement was subject to the condition precedent of the performance of the above-mentioned share capital increase by 30 September 2022 in an amount of at least Euro 50 million. The new agreements call for the calculation of financial parameters (NFP/EBITDA) starting from the calculation date of 31 December 2022.
The main loans of Landi Renzo S.p.A. include financial covenants. In this regard, please note that in March 2023, all credit institutions underwriting the loans issued waiver letters with respect to the
financial covenants surveyed as at 31 December 2022. For more information, please refer to the section on "Business continuity".
See the Directors' Report for all further information on risk factor analysis pursuant to Article 154-ter TUF (Consolidated Law on Finance).
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified based on a hierarchy of three levels, according to procedures to determine the fair value, i.e. with reference to the factors used in the process to determine the value:

Tangible assets showed an overall net decrease of Euro 962 thousand, decreasing from Euro 14,977 thousand at 31 December 2021 to Euro 14,015 thousand at 31 December 2022. The contribution deriving from the initial consolidation of Idro Meccanica was Euro 892 thousand.
Increases for the year, amounting to Euro 2,487 thousand, primarily relate to the acquisition of new production lines and moulds.
The item "Assets in progress and advance payments", totalling Euro 575 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (Euro 857 thousand as at 31 December 2021), decreased following the completion of several investments under way at the end of the previous year. The amount of assets in progress at 31 December 2022 primarily includes work in progress on investments made by the Parent Company in new work benches needed to handle demand for an increase in production. These investments are currently in the completion phase and are expected to be used in the production process in the course of the coming months.

Development costs amounted to Euro 11,141 thousand (Euro 12,222 thousand at 31 December 2021) and include the costs incurred by the Group both for internal personnel and for services supplied by third parties, for projects meeting the requirements of IAS 38 to be capitalised.
Costs capitalised in the year ended as of 31 December 2022 totalled Euro 5,538 thousand (Euro 5,123 thousand at 31 December 2021).
Research and development activities during 2022 saw the continuation of new projects focusing in particular on products for CNG, biomethane and hydrogen, alternatives to conventional fuels that offer significant benefits and advantages, and in the Mid & Heavy Duty segment. New development activities began during 2022 and they are also expected to continue for the rest of the current year.
The analysis of the recoverability of the values recognised for development activities, which the Group attributes to specific projects, carried out by comparing the margins expected from sales of the products to which the above-mentioned costs refer, and the relative net carrying amounts at the date of 31 December 2022, did not bring to light any impairment.
The item Goodwill totalled Euro 80,132 thousand, Euro 6,876 thousand more than at 31 December 2021 (Euro 73,256 thousand) following the acquisition of control by SAFE S.p.A. of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., resulting in its line-by-line consolidation.

On 31 December 2022, the "Purchase Price Allocation" established by IFRS 3 in the case of business combinations, or the measurement of the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value, was completed for the Metatron Group (purchased on 1 August 2021).
In particular, the Purchase Price Allocation led to the identification of a fair value of the "Metatron" trademark valued, on the basis of an appraisal performed by an independent expert, at Euro 2,892 thousand (with a useful life of 20 years) gross of the relative tax effect of Euro 807 thousand. The goodwill of the Metatron Group, classified in the Green Transportation - Automotive CGU, was reduced as a result by Euro 2,085 thousand, corresponding to the allocation of the value of the trademark and the relative tax effect.
The Purchase Price Allocation was carried out within the assessment period provided by IFRS 3 in the case of business combinations, therefore this allocation refers to facts and circumstances at the acquisition date and, once the values of the assets and goodwill were modified at the end of the valuation period, it was necessary to modify as a result the comparative data for the previous period, including the effect of the adjustments identified at the acquisition date as well.

The increase in goodwill during the period of Euro 6,876 thousand instead relates to the consolidation of Idro Meccanica S.r.l., a company acquired by SAFE S.p.A. and operating in the production of technologies and innovative systems for the compression of hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas which includes amongst its customers the main operators in hydrogen production and distribution, and boasts of a full range of products and applications to manage hydrogen compression up to 800 bars.
With reference to Idro Meccanica S.r.l., taking into account that the acquisition took place in January 2022, the Purchase Price Allocation was completed within the terms permitted by IFRS 3, or within 12 months of the acquisition. Details of the transaction are provided below:

In order to identify the CGUs to which to allocate the goodwill tested for impairment, please note that the management, taking into account the Group reorganisation process taking place over recent years, the Group's current organisational structure, the methods whereby control is exercised over operations and the acquisition transactions taking place during the year and cited above, has identifiedtwo cash generating units in which the Landi Renzo Group operates, i.e.:
As required by IAS 36, impairment tests were carried out on all items of goodwill at 31 December 2022 and the results were approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 14 March 2023.
Following up on what is set forth above, and to take into account the changed market environment, the directors prepared the Group economic-financial budget for the year 2023, which was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 2 March 2023.
The directors believe that the forecasts for the years subsequent to 2023 included in the Group's economic-financial plan prepared for the 2022-2025 period and approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 15 March 2022 remain valid.
For said impairment tests, the terminal values were estimated to reflect the values of goodwill beyond the explicit period, on the assumption that the companies will continue to operate as a going concern. Expected cash flows refer to current operating conditions and therefore do not include cash flows linked with intervening extraordinary events.
The recoverable value of goodwill was defined with respect to the value in use, intended as the current net value of operating cash flows, appropriately discounted according to the DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) method.
The discount rate was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital ("W.A.C.C."), net of taxes, determined as the weighted average between the cost of equity, calculated using the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) method, and the cost of debt. The rate, as required by IAS 36, was determined with reference to the operating risk of the sector and the financial structure of a sample of listed companies comparable to the Group in terms of risk profile and sector of activity.
The following aspects were taken into consideration to determine the discount rate:
• the approach which considers the country risk implicit in the risk free rate was used in determining the discount rate;
• the risk free rate was determined using as a reference the average return on 10-year US government bonds;
• the unlevered beta parameter and the market target financial structure used for the releveraging of that parameter were identified on the basis of a representative panel of comparable companies.
On the basis of the parameters set forth above, the risk-free rate is 3.46%, so the weighted average cost of capital (W.A.C.C.) relating to the Green Transportation - Automotive CGU is therefore equal to 11.77% (10.23% as at 31 December 2021). The "g" growth rate is instead 3.43% (3.45% as at 31 December 2021).
On the basis of the parameters set forth above, the risk-free rate is 3.68%, so the weighted average cost of capital (W.A.C.C.) relating to the Clean Tech Solutions - Infrastructure CGU is therefore equal to 12.41% (10.60% as at 31 December 2021). The "g" growth rate is instead 2.03% (2.00% as at 31 December 2021). As regards both of the above-mentioned impairment tests, specific sensitivity analyses were performed as required by valuation practices, which did not bring to light any critical issues with regard to the recoverable amount of the goodwill recognised.
The main sensitivity analyses performed, in order to provide specific indications on the changes in the basic assumptions which make the recoverable value equal to the carrying amount, are shown below. Based on the information available at the current date, these changes moreover appear to be unrealistic:
| (Millions of Euro) | |||

Break-even EBITDA |
Discount rate including tax % (break-even WACC) |
|
| Green Transportation – Automotive CGU | 26.6 | 31.1 | 13.35% |
| Clean Tech Solutions – Infrastructure CGU | 36.9 | 16.5 | 17.10% |
These tests, which were prepared with the support of an independent external advisor, and the results of which were approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 14 March 2023, did not bring to light any impairment losses.
Furthermore, the stock market capitalisation value of Landi Renzo S.p.A. at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 123.7 million, and the share performance until 14 March 2023 was stably significantly higher than the value of consolidated shareholders' equity. Therefore, no indicators of impairment were identified in that context.

This item breaks down as follows:
Net deferred tax assets, totalling Euro 14,109 thousand (Euro 12,694 thousand at 31 December 2021), related to both temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax values recognised, and to the losses from the national tax consolidation scheme deemed to be recoverable on the basis of company plans, the realisation of which is subject to the intrinsic risk of non-implementation inherent in its provisions.
With reference to tax losses, the management, assisted by its tax advisors, prepared a specific analysis aimed at verifying the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which was based on forecasts of the 2023 economic-financial budget, approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, as well as the forecasts for the years 2024-2025 included in the 2022-2025 economic-financial plan approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2022, and for the year 2026, which was estimated with no expectation of further growth. This analysis did not identify any problems related with the recoverability of deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements. Furthermore, in this regard, on a prudential basis no deferred tax assets were recognised on the tax losses recorded by the Parent Company in 2021 and in 2022.
At 31 December 2022 offsettable deferred tax liabilities totalled Euro 1,599 thousand (Euro 2,920 thousand at 31 December 2021), with an increase of Euro 1,321 thousand, and are primarily related to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of certain tangible and intangible assets and the values recognised for tax purposes.
The item includes the fair value measurement of financial derivative contracts signed by the Company, recognised under hedge accounting, i.e. with a contra-entry in other comprehensive income, as they meet the requirements laid out in IFRS 9.

The Extraordinary Reserve and the other reserves refer to the profits recorded by the Parent Company and by the subsidiary companies in previous years and have increased by Euro 8,910 thousand as a result of the following changes:
eliminated, as of that date the cash flow hedge reserve was reversed to the income statement;
The Share Premium Reserve amounted to Euro 67,119 thousand (Euro 28,946 thousand), increased due to the share capital increase described in the "Share capital increase" section and decreased following its partial use to cover the loss for the year 2021 of the Parent Company amounting to Euro 9,131 thousand.
The minority interest represents the share of equity and result for the year attributable to minority interests of companies not owned in full by the Group.
The Shareholders' Meeting of Landi Renzo S.p.A. of 29 April 2022 approved a share capital increase for up to Euro 60 million, which is one of the actions included in the 2022-2025 Business Plan, and aims to provide the Landi Renzo Group with the necessary funding to support the investment plan, which also includes external investment, in market segments expected to have the most growth, such as biomethane and hydrogen. The share capital increase was guaranteed up to Euro 50 million following the commitment made by TIP - Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A., the single largest shareholder of Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., to guarantee in cash the entire share attributable to Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., and the commitment made by Girefin S.p.A. and Gireimm S.r.l. to guarantee, through the voluntary offsetting of part of the receivable, the capital portion necessary to guarantee the share capital increase up to Euro 50 million to complement the guarantee commitment assumed by TIP - Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A.
In execution of the investment agreement:
accordance with current methodologies on the basis of the weighted average trading price of Landi Renzo ordinary shares in the 5 previous trading days, i.e., 4 July 2022 to 8 July 2022.
These transactions provided GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. with the necessary funding to subscribe its portion of the share capital increase. As described above, on 4 August 2022 the offer under option period concluded with the exercise of a total of 107,781,064 option rights valid for the subscription of 107,781,064 new shares, equal to roughly 95.805% of the total of new shares, for a total equivalent value of Euro 57,124 thousand. GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. subscribed its portion of the share capital increase (equal to around 59.1068%) pursuant to the subscription commitment made, for a total equivalent value of roughly Euro 35.2 million, of which around Euro 17.1 million by means of a contribution in cash and Euro 18.1 million by means of voluntary offsetting. The highly positive result of the offer under option, despite the period of strong uncertainty, demonstrates how the financial markets believe in the solidity of the business model of Landi Renzo and its role as a key player in the global energy transition process, thanks to a robust and credible business plan, which bets on the fundamental role to be played by gas, biomethane and hydrogen. The offer of the non-exercised rights concluded on 7 September 2022 with the subscription of 2,874,208 shares for an equivalent value of Euro 1,523 thousand. Overall, the share capital increase concluded with a total subscription of 98.36% of the offer, for an equivalent value of Euro 58,674 thousand.
In keeping with what was set forth in the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, in light of the interest demonstrated by GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. in subscribing all residual shares, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors approved their placement in its favour at a subscription price per share equal to that at which the shares were offered during the share capital increase, i.e., Euro 0.53 (including the share premium). Pursuant to the related party transaction procedure, this resolution was passed with the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On 19 September 2022, GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. therefore subscribed the remaining shares in their entirety; following that subscription, the share capital increase was thus fully subscribed (total Euro 59,625 thousand).

Provisions for risks and charges of Euro 5,484 thousand were recognised in the financial statements at 31 December 2022 (Euro 4,535 thousand at 31 December 2021).
The item "Provision for product warranties" includes the best estimate of the costs related to the commitments that the Group companies have incurred as an effect of legal or contractual provisions, in relation to the expenses connected with providing product warranties for a fixed period of time starting from the sale thereof. This estimate was calculated with reference to the historical data of the Group, on the basis of specific contractual content. At 31 December 2022 this provision totalled Euro 3,616 thousand, after allocations of Euro 2,064 thousand. Uses of the provision for risks for product warranties totalling Euro 2,343 thousand are due to the coverage of warranty costs correlated with supplies provided in previous years.
The increase in other provisions is linked primarily to the non-recurring provision recognised (equal to Euro 927 thousand) by a foreign group company against uncertainties connected to the recovery of a tax credit, for which the relative recovery procedures are ongoing with the support of a leading tax advisor; given the complexities and uncertainties of the relative legislation, it was deemed appropriate to recognise a provision for reasons of prudence.

Without considering the effects arising from the adoption of this accounting standard, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and the remaining payable for the acquisition of equity
investments, the adjusted Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2022 would have been equal to Euro 77,242 thousand, of which Euro 68,511 thousand linked to the Green Transportation segment and Euro 8,731 thousand to the Clean Tech Solutions segment.

In order to further strengthen the Group's financial structure and make it more consistent with the flows expected from the 2022-2025 Business Plan, in June 2022 two new loan agreements were entered into, for a total of Euro 73 million, aimed at replacing the SACE backed loan agreement and paying off the pool loan. In particular:
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 ("waiver letters") and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.

Costs for services and use of third-party assets amounted to Euro 54,780 thousand (Euro 43,075 thousand at 31 December 2021) with an increase of Euro 11,705 thousand and are inclusive of non-recurring expenses relating to strategic consultancy (Euro 1,322 thousand) due to the above-mentioned cyber attack for Euro 344 thousand.
Costs for use of third-party assets in the income statement, equal to Euro 1,359 thousand, mainly relate to contracts eligible for the simplification options established by the IFRS 16 - Leases accounting standard, i.e. those relating to low-value assets or with a duration of 12 months or less.
Personnel expenses are shown in detail below:

| Non-recurring personnel costs and expenditure | 534 | 172 | 362 |
| Total | 47,218 | 34,920 | 12,298 |
Personnel costs amounted to Euro 47,218 thousand and rose compared with the previous year (Euro 34,920 thousand at 31 December 2021) primarily as a result of the change in the scope of consolidation and the increased reliance on temporary labour, which was required to handle the production peaks linked to the increase in orders.
The Group continues to heavily invest in highly specialised resources to support the increasing research and development performed for new products and solutions, capitalised when they meet the requirements laid out in IAS 38.
Non-recurring personnel costs mainly relate the voluntary retirement incentives agreed upon with some employees.
The following table lists the number of employees in the workforce at the end of the period, broken down between Italian and foreign companies.

On 22 December 2022, the Board of Directors of Landi Renzo SpA approved, pursuant to Article 114-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98, a compensation plan named the "2022-2024 Performance Shares Plan" concerning the free assignment of the right to receive Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares (for a maximum total of 3,300,000 shares), based on the degree to which specific performance objectives are reached, on the basis of what was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022. The assignment of shares is subject to reaching at least one of the performance objectives as well as the existence, at the date of assignment of the shares, of the employment and/or management relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries.
The plan beneficiaries are several strategically important managers in addition to the Chief Executive Officer. The plan aims to reward the achievement of targets for the 2022-2024 period, as well as incentivise the alignment of the interests of the management with those of the shareholders with a view to creating value over a medium/long-term horizon. The Plan lasts for three years and provides for the assignment of shares in a lump sum at the end of the vesting period.
This plan was measured by an independent expert at 31 December 2022, which quantified the fair value of the transaction, the effects of which were not recognised in 2022 as formal activities for the signing of the relative bilateral agreements with the plan beneficiaries are still ongoing.

This item breaks down as follows:
Accruals, impairment losses and other operating expenses amount to Euro 5,525 thousand (Euro 3,722 thousand at 31 December 2021), up primarily due to higher provisions for product warranties and the provision for customer penalties and the non-recurring provision (of Euro 927 thousand) recognised by a foreign group company against uncertainties connected to the recovery of a tax credit, for which the relative recovery procedures are ongoing with the support of a leading tax advisor. Given the complexities and uncertainties of the relative legislation, it was deemed appropriate to recognise a provision for reasons of prudence.

Financial expenses amount to Euro 1,129 thousand (Euro 217 thousand at 31 December 2021) and include, aside from interest income on bank deposits and other income, Euro 912 thousand relating to the release to the income statement of the cash flow hedge reserve relating to the previous pool loan which, as mentioned previously, was subject to early repayment on 23 September 2022. As the hedged element was eliminated, as of that date the cash flow hedge reserve was reversed to the income statement. This income was then realised in October following the early closure of the relative financial derivative contracts and with the collection of their market value.

Financial expenses at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 7,630 thousand and essentially include bank interest charges, interest on loans, interest on non-recourse factoring, actuarial losses deriving from the discounting of the TFR (employee severance indemnity) reserve and bank charges, in addition to the financial effect arising from the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases (Euro 116 thousand).
Financial expenses rose compared with the same period of the previous year due to the change in the scope of consolidation as well as due to the recognition in accordance with IFRS 9 of the new loan agreement backed by the SACE guarantee, entered into on 29 June 2022. This agreement, in an equal amount (Euro 21 million) and entered into with the same banking counterparties as the previous agreement, replaces the previous loan agreement guaranteed by SACE (signed on 30 July 2020) and calls for a deferral of the pre-amortisation period of 24 months and the repayment of the final instalment on 31 March 2028. The valuation of this transaction in accordance with the dictates of that standard entailed the recognition of notional financial expenses in the income statement totalling Euro 773 thousand as at 31 June 2022 (net of the positive effect of Euro 70 thousand in the second half of 2022), the effective date of the transaction, with ensuing positive economic effects on subsequent years.

This item, totalling a positive Euro 597 thousand (Euro 620 thousand at 31 December 2021), includes the measurement of the equity investment held in the joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo Prv Ltd. In the course of the year ending on 31 December 2022, this joint venture significantly boosted its sales to a major Indian OEM customer, recording revenue of Euro 35.5 million and EBITDA of Euro 6.9 million.

Taxes at 31 December 2022 totalled a negative Euro 385 thousand, compared with a negative Euro 1,208 thousand at 31 December 2021. The Parent Company did not recognise deferred tax assets on tax losses for the year 2021.
Since 2022, the Parent Company has also adhered, as the consolidating company, to the national consolidation tax scheme pursuant to Articles 117 to 129 of the Italian Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R) with some of the Group's other Italian companies, i.e., SAFE S.p.A and SAFE&CEC S.r.l.
The management, assisted by its tax advisors, prepared a specific analysis aimed at verifying the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which was based on forecasts of the 2023 economic-financial budget, approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, as well as the forecasts for the years 2024-2025 included in the 2022-2025 economic-financial plan approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2022, and for the year 2026, which was estimated with no expectation of further growth. This analysis did not identify any problems related with the recoverability of deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements. Furthermore, in this regard, on a prudential basis no deferred tax assets were recognised on the tax losses recorded by the Company in 2021 and in 2022.

The "basic" earnings/(loss) per share was calculated by relating the net profit/(loss) of the Group to the number of ordinary shares in the period (225,000,000 at 31 December 2022, following the share capital increase). The "basic" earnings share, which corresponds to the "diluted" loss per share, since there are no convertible bonds, was a negative Euro 0.0635 at 31 December 2022, compared with a loss per share of Euro 0.0091 at 31 December 2021.
The result and the number of ordinary shares used for the purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, determined according to the methodology specified by IAS 33, are provided below.

The financial statement layouts and the relative classification criteria adopted by the Company, from amongst the options laid out in IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, are specified below:
In the current market context overshadowed by the continuation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential risks correlated with the Russia-Ukraine crisis, especially in terms of higher gas and energy costs, and the shortage of raw materials and the resulting price increases, the management has performed accurate analyses concerning expected trends for the year 2023 and thereafter, reconsidering estimates regarding the expected performance of the segment within the current context, in order to also consider the expected benefits of the initiatives put into place to develop the business.
Furthermore, the management paid particularly close attention to the financial position, short/medium and long-term cash forecasts and financing options.
In this regard, the following significant events took place in 2022:
• in March 2022, Invitalia (Agenzia Nazionale per l'Attrazione degli Investimenti e lo sviluppo di impresa SpA) disbursed a new loan of Euro 19.5 million in favour of Landi Renzo S.p.A. with a duration of 5 years - of which one year of pre-amortisation - at a facilitated rate, drawn on the Fund Supporting Large Companies in difficulty - art. 37 of Italian Decree-Law no. 41/2021, Italian Interministerial Decree of 5 July 2021 and Italian Executive Decree of 3 September 2021;
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 ("waiver letters") and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.
As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.
Following up on what is set forth above, and to take into account the changed market environment, the directors prepared the Group economic-financial budget for the year 2023, which was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 2 March 2023.
The directors believe that the forecasts for the years subsequent to 2023 included in the Group's economicfinancial plan prepared for the 2022-2025 period and approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 15 March 2022 remain valid.
The Group's economic-financial budget for the year 2023 shows (i) an adequate level of Company liquidity to cover its financial requirements, also highlighting sufficient residual available cash to cover the months subsequent to 31 December 2023 and (ii) that the Company will be capable of respecting the abovementioned financial covenants at the Calculation Date of 30 June and 31 December 2023.
Considering what is set forth above, as well as taking into account:
the directors have not identified circumstances such so as to jeopardise the Company's capacity to meet its corporate obligations and as a result have drafted the financial statements of Landi Renzo S.p.A. at 31 December 2022 on a going concern basis.
The accounting standards adopted in preparing the separate financial statements at 31 December 2022 are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the financial statements in the previous year, with the exception of the adoption of the new accounting standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations applicable as of 1 January 2022 listed below.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description |
|---|---|
| Regulation (EU) | The IASB published the following amendments: IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS |
| 2021/1080 | 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and |
| Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (issued on 14 May 2020). |
The accounting principles and modifications to the accounting principles described above have not had significant effects on the Company's financial statements.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not adopted in advance by the Company
The following table lists the new international accounting standards, or the amendments of standards and interpretations already in force, which must begin being applied from 1 January 2023 or thereafter.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (EU) 2021/2036 | The IASB published IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts which aims to improve | ||
| 23 November |
understanding of the exposure to risk, profitability and the financial position of | ||
| 2021 | insurers. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4. | ||
| (EU) 2022/1491 9 September 2022 |
The IASB published the amendment to IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts: initial |
||
| application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative information. The amendment is a | |||
| transition option relating to comparative information on financial statements | |||
| presented on initial application of IFRS 17 and aims to help insurance companies to | |||
| avoid temporary accounting misalignments between financial assets and insurance | |||
| contract liabilities, and therefore to improve the usefulness of comparative information | |||
| for users of financial reports. This amendment is not applicable to the Group. | |||
| (EU) 2022/1392 | The IASB published an amendment named "Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: | ||
| 12 August 2022 | Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction". The | ||
| document clarifies how deferred tax liabilities need to be recognised on certain | |||
| transactions that may generate assets and liabilities of equal amounts, such as leases | |||
| and decommissioning obligations. | |||
| (EU) 2022/357 | The IASB published amendments named "Disclosure of Accounting Policies – | ||
| 3 March 2022 | Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2" and "Definition of Accounting | ||
| Estimates –Amendments to IAS 8" intended to improve the disclosure on accounting | |||
| policies so as to provide more useful information to readers of the financial statements, | |||
| as well as help companies to distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes | |||
| in accounting policies. |
The Company is evaluating the effects that the adoption of such standards may have on its financial statements.
The Company did not exercise the option to apply them early.
The IASB made amendments to several international accounting standards issued previously and published new international accounting standards, for which the approval process has not yet been completed.
| Date | Description |
|---|---|
| 30 January 2014 | IFRS 14 entered into force on 1 January 2016, but the European Commission decided |
| to suspend the endorsement process pending the new accounting standard on rate- |
| regulated activities. IFRS 14 allows only entities which adopt IFRS for the first time to | ||
|---|---|---|
| continue to recognise rate regulation balances in accordance with the previous | ||
| accounting standards adopted. To improve comparability with entities that already | ||
| apply IFRS and do not recognise such balances, the standard requires the effect of rate | ||
| regulation to be presented separately from other items. | ||
| (EU) 2022/357 | The IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements: | |
| 3 March 2022 | Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" with the aim of clarifying how | |
| to classify payables and other liabilities as short or long term. | ||
| Regulation (EU) |
The IASB published an amendment named "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions | |
| 2021/1421 | beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendments to IFRS 16)" which extends by one year the period | |
| of application of the amendment to IFRS 16, issued in 2020, relating to the recognition | ||
| of concessions granted to lessees as a result of COVID-19. |
The accounting standards described hereafter were applied uniformly for all the periods included in these financial statements.
Tangible assets were recognised in accordance with the cost criterion at the purchase price or the production cost inclusive of directly attributable accessory costs necessary to make the assets ready for use.
The carrying amount of tangible assets is subsequently adjusted for systematic depreciation, calculated on a straight-line basis from the moment in which the asset is available and ready for use, based on its useful life, understood as the estimated period in which the asset will be used by the company, and any accumulated loss for impairment.
When the asset to be depreciated consists of distinctly identifiable elements whose useful life differs significantly from that of the other parts of the asset, each of those parts are depreciated separately in application of the component approach method.
Any financial expense directly attributable to the purchase and production of tangible assets is capitalised and depreciated on the basis of the useful life of the asset to which it refers.
The following annual depreciation rates are used:
| Categories | Depreciation period | Depreciation rates |
|---|---|---|
| The lower between the residual economic usefulness of | ||
| the improvement and the residual duration of the | ||
| Leasehold improvements - buildings | underlying contract | 16.67- 33% |
| Plant and machinery | Straight-line basis | 10 - 17.5% |
| Industrial and commercial equipment | Straight-line basis | 17.5 - 25% |
| Other assets | Straight-line basis | 12 - 20 - 25% |
The residual value and the useful life of tangible assets are reviewed at least annually and updated, when applicable, at the end of each year. Based on the analysis performed by the management it was not necessary to amend the useful life compared to those applied in the previous financial year.
Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are charged in their entirety to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Costs for improvements, upgrades and transformation having an incremental nature are attributed to the tangible assets to which they refer, when it is probable that they will increase the future economic benefits expected from the use or the sale of the asset, and depreciated based on the remaining useful life of the assets.
Costs capitalised for leasehold improvements are classified under property and depreciated at the lower of the residual economic usefulness of the improvement and the residual duration of the underlying contract.
The financial expenses directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a tangible asset are recognised in the income statement at the moment at which they are incurred, in accordance with the appropriate accounting treatment provided for by IAS 23.
The carrying amount of tangible assets is subjected to verification in order to discover any possible impairment, using the methods described in the paragraph "Impairment of assets".
At the moment of sale or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use of an asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any loss or profit (calculated as the difference between the sale value and the carrying amount) is recognised in the income statement in the year of the aforementioned elimination.
Intangible assets consist of identifiable non-monetary elements with no physical consistency, which can be controlled and can generate future economic benefits. These elements are initially recognised at purchase and/or production cost, inclusive of expenses directly attributable to make the asset ready for use. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis throughout their estimated useful life; amortisation rates are reviewed on an annual basis and are amended if the current useful life differs from that estimated previously. The useful life estimated by the Company for the various categories of intangible assets, valid for all periods presented, is shown below.
| Categories | Useful Life |
|---|---|
| Development costs | from 3 to 5 years |
| Industrial patents and rights to use intellectual property | 3 years |
| Software, licenses and others | 3 years |
| Trademarks | from 7 to 18 years |
Research and development expenditure are recognised in the Income Statement for the year in which they are incurred, with the exception of development expenditure recognised under intangible assets if the conditions established in IAS 38, reported below, are satisfied:
The amortisation period starts only when the development phase is completed and the result generated by the project can be marketed, and is usually three or five years, based on the estimated duration of the benefits linked with the product developed. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost, minus accumulated amortisation and any accumulated losses from impairment.
The goodwill deriving from business combinations after 1 January 2005 is initially entered at cost, and represents the excess of the purchase cost over the purchaser's share of the net fair value referring to the identifiable values of existing and potential assets and liabilities.
At the acquisition date, any goodwill emerging is allocated to each of the cash generating units (or "CGUs") that are expected to benefit from the synergistic effects deriving from the acquisition. Taking into account the corporate reorganisation process taking place over recent years, the current organisational structure and the methods whereby control is exercised over operations, a single "Green Transportation - Automotive" CGU has been identified, to which goodwill is allocated for impairment testing purposes. After the initial recognition, since goodwill is regarded as an intangible asset with an indefinite life, it is no longer amortised and is decreased by any accumulated losses in value, determined as described below. Goodwill is subjected to an analysis of recoverability on at least an annual basis, or even more frequently if events or changes in circumstances arise that could result in possible impairment, identifying the CGUs which benefit from acquisition synergies. Cash flows are discounted to the cost of capital as a function of the specific risks of the unit concerned. Impairment is stated when it emerges from the check on discounted cash flows that the recoverable value of the CGU is less than the carrying amount and is stated as a priority under goodwill.
Any impairment is identified through valuations that take as a reference the ability of each CGU to produce financial flows capable of recovering the portion of goodwill allocated to it. If the value recoverable by the CGU is less than the carrying amount attributed, the corresponding impairment is recognised. Such impairment is restored if the reasons that generated it cease to exist.
Other intangible assets with finite useful life, acquired or self-created, are capitalised when it is probable that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and its cost can be measured reliably. These assets are initially recognised at purchase or development cost.
Costs incurred subsequently relating to intangible assets are capitalised only if they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset capitalised and they are amortised on the basis of the aforementioned criteria according to the assets to which they refer.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if it grants the right to use a specified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.
Each lease component is separate from other contract components, unless the Company adopts the practical expedient under paragraph 15 of IFRS 16, which allows the lessee to opt, for each class of underlying asset, to not separate the other components and to recognise them together with the lease components.
The lease duration is determined as the lease period which is non-cancellable, to which the following periods are added:
In deciding whether the lessee has reasonable certainty of exercising these options, all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee in its evaluation are considered. The lessee must re-determine the lease duration if the non-cancellable period of the lease is changed.
At the date when the contract comes into effect, the Company recognises right-of-use assets and the relative lease liability. At the date when the contract comes into effect, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset includes:
At the effective date of the contract, the lessee shall measure the lease liability at the current value of payments owing for the leasing not paid at this date. Payments owing for the leasing include the following amounts:
Payments owing for the leasing must be discounted using the interest rate embedded in the contract, if it can be easily determined. If this is not possible, the lessee must use the marginal lending rate, i.e. the incremental interest rate that the Company should pay to obtain a loan of the same duration and amount of the lease agreement.
After initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted to take account of any re-determination of lease liabilities.
After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured:
In the case of changes in leasing which do not constitute separate leasing, the right-of-use asset is redetermined, in keeping with the change in the lease liability at the date of the amendment. The lease liability is redetermined based on the new conditions in the lease agreement, using the discount rate at the date of the amendment.
The Company uses two exemptions, provided for by IFRS 16, with reference to:
In these cases, the asset comprising the right of use and relative liability is not recognised, and payments owing for the leasing are recognised in the income statement.
At each reporting date, tangible and intangible assets with a finite useful life are analysed in order to identify the existence of any indicators of impairment originating from sources external or internal to the Company. When these indicators are identified, the recoverable value of the above-mentioned assets is estimated, and any impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Management uses various assumptions in applying this method, including estimates of changes in revenues, the gross profit margin, operating costs, the growth rate of terminal values, investments, changes in operating capital and the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) which combine in defining a medium-term plan, specifically aimed at performing an impairment test, revised at least annually and approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company.
If the carrying amount exceeds the recovery value, the assets or the cash generating units to which they belong are written down until they reflect the recovery value. Such losses are accounted for on the Income Statement.
The impairment test is carried out when conditions occur inside or outside the company that suggest that the assets have suffered a reduction in value. In the case of goodwill or other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, the impairment test is carried out at least annually. If the conditions that resulted in the impairment cease to exist, the same value is restored proportionally on the previously devalued assets until it reaches, at most, the value that such goods would have had, net of amortisation calculated on the historical cost, in the absence of a prior impairment. Restorations of value are recognised in the income statement.
The value of previously devalued goodwill is not restored.
To evaluate any impairment of capitalised development expenditure, the Company attributes such costs to the corresponding specific projects and evaluates their recoverability based on forecasts of expected sales of the products to which the development costs refer. Specifically, if the margin arising from the above-mentioned sales does not allow for the recoverability of capitalised costs, this constitutes impairment, which is reflected in the financial statements. This assessment is performed at each year-end close and/or in the presence of trigger events.
Equity investments in subsidiary companies are measured using the cost method including directly related costs, adjusted according to impairment losses.
In the case where there is evidence of events indicative of long term impairment, the value of the equity investments is subjected to an impairment test according to the provisions of IAS 36. The original value is restored in subsequent years if the reasons for write-down cease to exist.
The risk deriving from any losses exceeding the cost is recorded under provisions, to the extent to which there is a legal or implicit obligation or the intention to meet said obligation.
Equity investments in joint ventures are companies for which an agreement existed at the date when the financial statements were prepared, through which there are similar rights on net assets, rather than rights on assets, and obligations for liabilities.
Equity investments in joint ventures are measured using the equity method.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control refers to the sharing on a contractual basis of the control of an arrangement, which exists solely when decisions on significant activities require the unanimous consent of all parties sharing control.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified in one of the three categories listed below on the basis of the following elements:
Financial assets are subsequently derecognised only if the disposal entails the substantial transfer of all risks and rewards connected to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of the risks and rewards relating to the disposed financial assets has been retained, they continue to be recognised in the financial statements, even if legally their ownership has been effectively transferred.
This category includes the financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
These assets are initially recognised at fair value inclusive of the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial assets in question are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost method is not used for assets measured at historical cost whose short duration makes the effect of discounting negligible, for those without a defined maturity or for revocable credit lines.
This category includes the financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
This category includes shareholdings, not qualifiable as controlling, associated or of joint control, which are not held for trading, which the entity has opted to designate at fair value through other comprehensive income.
These assets are initially recognised at fair value inclusive of the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequently, shareholdings not qualifiable as controlling, associated or of joint control are measured at fair value, and amounts recognised as a matching entry to other comprehensive income should not be subsequently transferred to the income statement, even in the case of disposal. The only component referring to the equity instruments in question subject to recognition in the income statement is the relative dividends.
For the equity instruments included in this category not listed in an active market, the cost criterion is used to estimate fair value only on a residual basis and in a limited circumstances, or when the most recent information to measure fair value is insufficient, or if there is a broad range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range of values.
This category includes financial assets other than those classified under "Financial assets at amortised cost" and "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income".
This category includes financial assets held for trading and derivative contracts not qualified as hedges.
Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognised at fair value without considering the transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value and the valuation effects are attributed to the income statement.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, the Company applies a simplified approach to estimate expected credit losses throughout the life of the instrument and takes into consideration its past experience with respect to credit losses, adjusted on the basis of specific forecasts relating to the nature of the Company's receivables and the economic context.
In brief, the Company measures expected losses on financial assets so as to reflect:
• an objective amount weighted on the basis of probabilities determined by assessing a range of possible results;
• the time value of money;
• reasonable and demonstrable information that is available without excessive cost or effort at the reporting date on past events, current conditions and outlooks on future economic conditions.
A financial asset is impaired when one or more events with a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset takes place. Observable data relating to the following events constitute proof that the financial asset is impaired:
a) significant financial difficulties of the issuer or the debtor;
b) a violation of the contract, such as breach or an unmet deadline;
c) for economic or contractual reasons relating to the financial difficulties of the debtor, the creditor extends a concession to the debtor that the creditor would not have otherwise taken into consideration;
d) it is likely that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or other financial restructuring procedures;
e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties; or
f) the acquisition or creation of the financial asset with large discounts that reflect the credit losses incurred.
For financial assets at amortised cost, the value of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted on the basis of the original effective interest rate. This value is recognised in the income statement.
The item inventories includes raw materials and materials used in the production process, semi-finished products, spare parts and finished products.
Inventories are stated at the lower value between purchase or manufacturing cost, inclusive of accessory costs, measured according to the FIFO method, and the realisation value that can be inferred from market performance.
The measurement of inventories includes the direct costs of materials and labour and the indirect costs of production (variable and fixed), determined on the basis of normal production capacity.
Where necessary, depreciation funds are calculated for obsolete stocks or those with a slow turnaround taking account of their future possibility of use or recovery.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value. The initial value is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of capital, any write-downs and the amortisation of the difference between repayment amount and initial value. Amortisation is performed on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of expected cash flows and the initial value (so-called Amortised cost method). If there is objective evidence indicating impairment, the asset value is decreased to the discounted value of the future flows obtainable from it. Such losses are recognised on the Income Statement. If, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the preceding write-down no longer exist, the value of the asset is restored to the amount that would have derived from applying the amortised cost without write-down.
The provision for bad debts, determined in order to measure receivables at their effective realisation value, includes write-downs recognised in order to take account of objective indications that trade receivables are impaired. Write-downs, which are based on the most recent information available and management's best estimate, are recognised in such a way as to decrease impaired assets to the present value of future cash flows obtainable from them.
Other receivables and other current financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, the receivables are measured with the amortised cost method on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of expected cash flows and the initial value.
If there is objective evidence indicating impairment, the asset value is decreased to the discounted value of the future flows obtainable from it. Such losses are recognised on the Income Statement. If, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the preceding write-down no longer exist, the value of the asset is restored to the amount that would have derived from applying the amortised cost without write-down.
Financial assets are derecognised when one of the following conditions is met:
• the Company has not substantially transferred or maintained all risks and benefits connected to the financial asset, but it has transferred control over it.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, or when the contractual obligation has been met, is cancelled or is time-barred. An exchange of debt instruments with substantially different contractual terms must be accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Likewise, a substantial change in the contractual terms of an existing financial liability, even partial, must be accounted for as an extinction of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
The Company is permitted to assign part of its trade receivables through factoring transactions. The operations for assignment of receivables can be with or without recourse; some non-recourse assignments include deferred payment clauses (for example, the payment by the factor of a minority part of the purchase price is subordinate to the total collection of receivables), requiring an exemption on the part of the assignor or implying the maintenance of significant exposure to the progress of the financial flows deriving from the receivables assigned.
This type of operation does not meet the requirements laid down by IFRS 9 for eliminating financial assets from the balance sheet, since the associated benefits and risks have not been substantially transferred.
Consequently, all the receivables assigned through factoring operations that do not meet the requirements for elimination established by IFRS 9 continue to be recorded in the Financial Statements of the Company, although they have been legally assigned; a financial liability for the same amount is recorded in the financial statements as Payables for Advances on Assignment of Receivables. Profits and losses related to the assignment such assets are recorded only when the same assets are removed from Statement of Financial Position of the Company.
At 31 December 2022, the Company had only performed assignments of trade receivables without recourse that meet all the requirements established by IFRS 9 for the derecognition of such receivables.
The item relating to cash and cash equivalents includes, primarily, bank deposits repayable on demand, as well as cash on hand and other short-term investments that are highly convertible (convertible into cash and cash equivalents within ninety days). Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value, which usually coincides with their nominal value; any changes are recognised on the Income Statement.
For the purposes of representing cash flows for the period, when drawing up the Cash Flow Statement, short-term bank debts are represented among the cash flows of the financing activities, since they are for the most part attributable to bank advances and short term bank loans.
The share capital is made up of the ordinary shares in circulation.
The costs relating to the issue of new shares or options are classified in equity as a deduction of the income deriving from the issue of such instruments.
As provided for by IAS 32, if equity instruments are repurchased, such instruments (treasury shares) are recognised as a direct deduction from Equity under the item "Other Reserves". Gains or losses are not recognised on the Income Statement when treasury shares are purchased, sold or cancelled.
The consideration paid or received, including any cost directly incurred and attributable to the capital transaction, net of any related tax benefit, is directly recognised as an Equity transaction.
The statutory reserve is formed from the allocation of part of the Company's profit for the year (5% each year until it has reached 20% of the share capital) and may be used exclusively to cover losses. The other reserves include the reserves of profits and capital for a specific use, the profit (loss) of previous years not distributed or allocated to a reserve, as well as the reserve generated upon the adoption of IFRS.
Provisions for risks and charges are set aside to cover current obligations - legal or implicit - deriving from past events, for which a reliable estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation can be made at the end of the year. Provisions for risks and charges are stated if said charges are likely to be incurred. Any change in the estimate of provisions is reflected on the Income Statement in the period when it occurs. If a liability is regarded as merely potential, no allocation to provisions for risk and charges is made and only adequate information is provided in these notes to the financial statements.
When the financial effect of time is significant and the date of cash outflows associated with the obligation can be reliably determined, the estimated cost is discounted to the present value using a rate reflecting the current market values and includes the additional effects relating to the specific risk that may be associated with each liability. After discounting, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a financial expense.
The product warranty provision is stated on sale of the underlying goods or supply of the underlying services. The provision is determined using historical information on warranties and by weighting the probability associated with possible results.
The provisions are periodically updated to reflect changes in estimated costs, realisation timing and the discount rate; revisions of the estimated provisions are recognised in the same item of the Income Statement which previously included the provision or, when the liability relates to an asset, as a matching entry to the asset to which it refers.
Short-term benefits are represented by salaries, wages, the relative social security contributions, compensation in lieu of holidays and incentives provided in the form of a bonus payable in twelve months after the reporting date. These benefits are accounted for as components of personnel cost in the period in which the work activity is provided.
Post-employment benefits are broken down into two types: defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
In defined contribution plans, social security contributions are recognised in the Income Statement when they are incurred, based on the relative nominal value.
Defined benefit plans are represented by the TFR (employee severance indemnity) contributions accrued up to 31 December 2006 for the employees of the Company. These are measured in accordance with IAS 19 by independent actuaries, using the projected unit funding method.
This calculation consists in estimating the amount of benefit that an employee will receive at the expected retirement date, using demographic assumptions (such as, for example, death rate and personnel turnover rate) and financial assumptions (such as, for example, discount rate and future salary increases). The amount thus determined is discounted to the present value and re-proportioned based on the accrued length of service compared to the total length of service and represents a reasonable estimate of the benefits that each employee has already accrued because of his/her service. The discount rate used derives from the curve of rates on Markit iBoxx € Corporate AA 10+ bonds at the end of the reporting period, with a similar maturity date to the bond held for employees.
Actuarial gains and losses emerging following the revaluations of net liabilities for defined benefit plans were immediately entered in the other items of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Net interest and other costs of defined benefit plans are instead recognised in the Income Statement.
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or implicit obligation to pay further contributions. The contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the Income Statement in the periods in which the employees provide their work. Contributions paid in advance are recorded as assets to the extent that the advance payment will result in a reduction in future payments or a refund.
The cost of transactions regulated with equity instruments is determined by the fair value at the date of assignment, using an appropriate measurement method. This cost, together with the corresponding increase in shareholders' equity, is recognised under personnel costs for the period when conditions relative to achieving objectives and/or the provision of the service are met. The accumulated costs recognised for these transactions at the end of the reporting period up to the date of accrual are commensurate with the expiry of the accrual period and the best estimate of the number of instruments serving the plan at the time of accrual.
The service or performance conditions are not considered when the fair value for the plan is defined at the assignment date. However, the likelihood that these conditions are met in defining the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will be accrued is considered.
Market conditions are reflected in the fair value at the assignment date.
Any other condition related to the plan, which does not entail a service obligation, is not considered as a condition of accrual.
Non-accrual conditions are reflected in the fair value of the plan and require immediate recognition of the plan cost, unless there are also service or performance conditions.
When the rights include a market condition or a non-accrual condition, these are treated as if they had accrued regardless of whether market conditions or other non-accrual conditions are met or not, save for all other performance and/or service conditions having to be met.
A cost for each change that increases the total fair value of the payment plan, or that is favourable for employees in any case, is recognised as a cost; this cost is measured with reference to the date of the change. When a plan is cancelled by the entity or counterparty, any remaining part of the fair value of the plan is immediately recognised in the income statement.
Trade payables are stated at the fair value of the initial consideration received in exchange and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade payables with due dates that fall under normal sales terms are not discounted to the present value.
In keeping with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments may be measured on a hedge accounting basis when:
If a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value (fair value hedge) of an asset or liability attributable to a particular risk that could affect profit or loss, the profit or loss arising from subsequent fair value measurements of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement. The profit or loss on the hedged item, attributable to the hedged risk, change the carrying amount of this item and are recognised in the income statement.
When a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recognised as other comprehensive income and presented in the cash flow hedge reserve. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument which is recognised in other comprehensive income is limited to the accumulated change in fair value of the hedged instrument (at the current value) from the start of hedging. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recognised immediately in profit/(loss) for the year.
If the hedging no longer meets eligibility criteria or the hedging instrument is sold, matures or is exercised, the recognition of hedging transactions stops on a forward-looking basis. When an entity discontinues hedge accounting for a cash flow hedge, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in shareholders' equity until, in the case of the hedging of a transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, it is included in the cost of the non-financial asset or liability at the time of initial recognition, or in the case of other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit/loss in the same year or in the same years when the hedged future cash flows have an effect on profit/(loss) for the year.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount is immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve and hedge costs reserve to the Income Statement.
If hedge accounting cannot be adopted, profits or losses arising from the fair value measurement of the derivative financial instrument are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Short- and long-term financial payables and other short- and long-term liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. The initial value is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of principal and the amortisation of the difference between repayment amount and initial value. Amortisation is performed on the basis of the internal effective interest rate, represented by the interest rate that aligns, on initial recognition, the present value of cash flows connected to the liability and the initial value (so-called amortised cost method).
When there is a change in cash flows and it is possible to estimate them reliably, the value of payables is recalculated to reflect that change on the basis of the present value of the new cash flows and the internal rate of return initially determined.
The item "Tax liabilities" includes all liabilities to the Tax Authorities payable or offsettable in the shortterm connected with direct and indirect taxes.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the following conditions are met:
The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it fulfils the performance obligation, transferring the good or service (or the asset) to the customer. The asset is transferred when the customer acquires control over it.
The Company transfers control over the good or service over time, and therefore fulfils the performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, when one of the following criteria is met:
• the customer simultaneously receives and uses the benefits arising from the entity's service as it is provided;
• the service of the Company creates or improves the asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or improved;
• the service of the Company does not create an asset which has an alternative use for the Company and the Company has the enforceable right to payment for the service completed until the date considered.
If the performance obligation is not met over time, it is met at a specific moment. In that case, the Company recognises revenue when the customer acquires control over the promised asset.
The contractual consideration included in the contract with the customer may include fixed or variable amounts or both. If the contractual consideration includes a variable amount as discounts, price allowances, incentives, penalties or other similar elements, the Company estimates the amount of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer. The Company includes the amount of the estimated variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent to which it is highly likely that when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, there will not be a significant downward adjustment in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised.
The Company allocates the contractual price to the individual performance obligations on the basis of the stand-alone selling prices (SSP) of the individual performance obligations. When there is no SSP, the Company estimates the SSP using a market adjusted approach.
The Company applies its judgement in determining the performance obligation, variable consideration and the allocation of the transaction price.
Incremental costs for obtaining customer contracts are accounted for as assets and amortised throughout the term of the underlying contract, if the Company expects them to be recovered. Incremental costs for obtaining the contract are costs that the Company incurs to obtain the contract with the customer and which it would not have incurred if it had not obtained the contract. The costs for obtaining the contract which would have been incurred even if the contract had not been obtained should be recognised as a cost at the moment they are incurred, unless they are explicitly chargeable to the customer even if the contract is not obtained.
The costs incurred to perform contracts with customers are capitalised as assets and amortised throughout the term of the underlying contract only if such costs do not fall under the scope of application of another accounting standard (such as IAS 2 - Inventories, IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment or IAS 38 - Intangible assets) and satisfy all of the following conditions:
• the costs are directly correlated with the contract or an expected contract, which the entity can specifically identify;
• the costs provide the entity with new or greater resources to be used to meet (or continue to meet) performance obligations in the future;
it is expected that such costs will be recovered.

Grants from public and private bodies are recognised at fair value when it is reasonably certain that they will be received and the conditions for receiving them will be met.
Grants related to income (provided as immediate financial assistance to an entity or to cover expenses and losses incurred in a previous year) are fully recognised in the Income Statement when the abovementioned conditions, necessary for their recognition, are met. No capital contributions were obtained in the year in question.
Costs are recognised in so far as it is possible to reliably determine that economic benefits will flow to the company. Costs for services are recognised for the year in question at the moment when they are received.
Dividends are recognised on the Income Statement on the date on which the right to receive them matures.
Income and charges of a financial nature are recognised on an accrual basis, on the basis of the interest accrued on the net value of the related financial assets and liabilities, using the effective interest method.
Income taxes include current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are generally stated on the Income Statement, except when they refer to items directly accounted for in equity or in the general Income Statement. Current taxes are income taxes expected to be paid or received, calculated by applying the rate applicable at the date of the financial statements to the taxable income or tax losses for the year.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the so-called liability method on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding tax values. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not stated on goodwill and on assets and liabilities which do not influence taxable income. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be in force when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax assets (hereafter also called "prepaid taxes") are recognised only when it is likely that taxable profits sufficient to realise these assets will be generated in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only for homogeneous expiry dates, when there is a legal right to offset and when they refer to recoverable taxes due to the same tax authority. Income tax deriving from distribution of dividends is stated when the liability relating to their payment is recognised.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets is checked at the end of each period, on the basis of plans duly approved by the Board of Directors and taking the tax consolidation indicated below into account, and any part for which recovery is unlikely is stated on the Income Statement.
Since 2022, the Company has adhered, as the consolidating company, to the national consolidation tax scheme pursuant to Articles 117 to 129 of the Italian Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R) with the other Italian companies of the Group, i.e., SAFE S.p.A and SAFE&CEC S.r.l. This was renewed for the 2022-2024 period.
The functional and presentation currency of Landi Renzo S.p.A. is the Euro (€). As required by IAS 21, transactions in foreign currency are initially recognised at the exchange rate in place on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are reconverted to the functional currency at the exchange rate in place on the closing date of the Financial Statements.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate in force on the initial date that the transaction was recognised.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
The exchange differences realised at the time of collecting from debtors and paying creditors in foreign currency are entered in the income statement in the item exchange gain/losses.
The Company determines the earnings per share based on IAS 33 - Earnings per share.
(a) Basic earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) pertaining to the Company shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation during the year, excluding treasury shares.
The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (loss) pertaining to the Company shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation during the year, excluding treasury shares. To calculate the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average of shares in circulation is modified assuming the exercise by all assignees of rights with a potentially dilutive effect, while the profit (loss) pertaining to Company shareholders is adjusted to take into account any effects, net of taxes, of the exercise of such rights.
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard IFRS 7, supplementary information is supplied on the financial instruments in order to evaluate:

The preparation of Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) requires application of accounting standards and methods that are sometimes based on subjective assessments and estimates based, in turn, on past experience and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic given the circumstances. Application of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts presented in the financial statements, such as the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of Cash Flows, and in disclosures provided.
Please note that the situation caused by the current economic and financial scenario has resulted in the necessity to make assumptions on future performance that are characterised by significant uncertainty. Therefore it cannot be excluded that results different to those estimated may be realised in the coming years. Such results could therefore require adjustments, that may even be considerable, which cannot obviously be either estimated or predicted at this stage, to the carrying amount of the relative items.
The items on the financial statements that most require greater subjectivity on the part of the directors in producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used can have a significant impact on the financial statements are listed below:
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each variation are immediately reflected on the Income Statement.
For an indication of the economic values of these estimates, please refer to the relative points of these notes. The directors also evaluated the applicability of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, and concluded that this assumption is suitable as there are no doubts as to business continuity.
A description is provided below of the most significant accounting standards that require, more than the others, greater subjectivity on the part of the directors in producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumption used may have a significant impact on the financial data of the company.
Trade receivables are adjusted with the relevant write-down fund in order to take account of their effective recoverable value. The determination of the amount of depreciation carried out requires the directors to make subjective evaluations based on the documentation and on the information available, also in relation to the solvency of the customer, as well as on experience and historical trends.
The continuation of the current economic and financial situation and its possible aggravation could lead to further deterioration in the financial conditions of the Company's debtors beyond that already taken into consideration prudentially in quantifying the write-downs recorded in the financial statements.
In accordance with the accounting standards applied by the Company, goodwill and intangible assets in progress are subjected to annual verification (impairment test) in order to assess whether they have suffered a reduction in value, which is established by means of an impairment test, when the net carrying amount of the unit generating the cash flows to which these items are allocated appears to be greater than its recoverable value (defined as the greater value between the value in use and the fair value of the same). The above mentioned value confirmation check necessarily requires subjective evaluations to be made based on the information available within the Company, and on the reference market outlook and historical trends. In addition, whenever it is supposed that a potential reduction in value could be generated, the Company determines said reduction using those evaluation techniques considered suitable. The same value tests and evaluation techniques are applied to intangible and tangible assets with a defined useful life when indicators exist that predict difficulties in recovering the corresponding net carrying amount. The correct identification of elements indicative of the existence of a potential reduction in value as well as the estimates for determination of the reduction depend principally on factors that can vary over time, even significantly, therefore influencing the evaluations and estimates made by the directors.
Establishing whether or not a current obligation (legal or implied) exists is in some cases difficult to determine. The directors assess such phenomena on a case by case basis, together with an estimate of the amount of the economic resources required in order to meet that obligation. When the directors consider that is merely possible that liabilities may arise, the risks are indicated in the appropriate information section on commitments and risks, without resulting in any allocation in the financial statements.
The Company offers defined benefit plans to some of its employees. Using the services of experts and actuaries, management used various statistical assumptions and evaluation factors to calculate the charges and the current value of assets and liabilities relating to these plans. The assumptions relate to the discount rate, the expected return on the assets servicing the plan, the rates of future salary increases, demographic trends, the inflation rate and expected health costs. The actuaries consulted also use subjective factors, such as mortality and resignation rates.
The Company has assigned the CEO and other managers an incentive plan for the free assignment of the right to receive Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares based on the degree to which specific performance objectives are reached ("2022-2024 Performance Shares Plan"). Using the services of experts and actuaries, management used various statistical assumptions and evaluation factors to calculate the charges and the current value of assets and liabilities relating to these plans.
Based on product sales, the Company allocates provisions according to the costs estimated as likely to be incurred for product warranties. Management establishes the value of such provisions on the basis of historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of operations carried out under warranty and on the basis of specific contractual agreements.
The Company strives to improve the quality of its products and to minimise the burden deriving from operations under warranty.
The Company is subject to lawsuits regarding a number of disputes that were submitted to the jurisdiction of various Countries. Given the inherent uncertainty of these disputes, it is difficult to predict with certainty the resulting financial cost, or the time frame within which it will arise. The lawsuits and disputes against the Company derive primarily from complex legal problems, that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty, considering the facts and circumstances involved in each dispute and the different laws applicable. To assess the risks deriving from potential liabilities of a legal nature correctly and prudentially, management periodically obtains information on the situation from its legal advisers. The Company establishes a liability in relation to such disputes when it considers it likely that a financial cost will occur and when the amount of the resulting losses can be reasonably estimated.
Closing inventories of products with characteristics of obsolescence or slow turnaround are periodically subjected to tests for their correct valuation and are written down where the recoverable value thereof is less than the carrying amount. The write-downs carried out are based, primarily, on assumptions and estimates of management deriving from its experience and the historical results achieved, as well as estimates of the use/sale of inventories.
The valuation of deferred tax assets is made on the basis of taxable income expected in future years and expected tax rates at the date when the temporary differences are expected to occur, insofar as they are considered applicable in the future. The measurement of such expected profits depends on factors that may change over time and have a significant impact, therefore, on the valuation of deferred tax assets.
The Company deals with related parties under contractual conditions considered to reflect the arm's length conditions on the markets in question, taking account of the characteristics of the goods and services supplied and received.
In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard IFRS 7, the following analysis is provided regarding the nature and extent of risks deriving from financial instruments to which the company is exposed, as well as the methodologies with which such risks are managed.
The main risks are reported and discussed at the Top Management level of the Company in order to create the prerequisites for their hedging, insurance and for the assessment of the residual risk.
The Company is exposed to the interest rate risk associated with both cash in hand and with medium to long term loans. The exposure refers mainly to the Euro zone. As regards exposure to the risk of interest rate volatility, note that the financial indebtedness with banks is regulated primarily by variable interest rates.
To partially reduce risks connected with fluctuating interest rates, the Company has entered into financial derivative contracts (interest rate swaps) in order to cover:
Interest rate risks were measured using sensitivity analysis and the potential impacts of Euribor interest rate fluctuations on the financial statements at 31 December 2022 were analysed with particular reference to cash and cash equivalents and to loans. The increase of 50 basis points on the Euribor, like all the other variables, would have produced an increase in financial costs for the Company of Euro 159 thousand in comparison to an increase of financial income equal to Euro 131 thousand.
The Company sells part of its production and, although to much lesser degree, also purchases some components also in countries outside the Euro zone.
In relation to the exchange risk, it is reported that the amount of accounting balances expressed in currency other than the Euro is not considered significant compared to the total revenue of the Company, therefore the sensitivity analysis required by IFRS 7 is not provided as it is considered non-significant. The Company has not subscribed to instruments to cover exchange rate fluctuations and, in accordance with the Company's policy up to this moment, no derivatives are subscribed solely for trading purposes. Therefore, the Company remains exposed to the exchange rate risk on the balances of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency at year end.
The Company makes purchases and sales internationally, and therefore it is exposed to the normal risk of price fluctuation typical of its industry. Where possible, Company policy covers the risk through mediumterm supplier commitments.
The current market situation distinguished by a shortage of raw materials resulted on one hand in a reduction or deferral of orders from OEM customers, due to the need for automotive manufacturers to limit costs and avoid production interruptions, and on the other in difficulties in fulfilling existing orders, due to a series of complexities in obtaining raw materials. Furthermore, particularly in the OEM channel, in which long-term supply agreements are generally entered into, it was not always possible to reflect in due time the increase in raw material prices in sale prices. On the other hand, as regards the After Market channel, interventions on sale prices took place more promptly but, also due to growing competition in developing countries, it was not always possible to intervene to prevent the loss of market share.
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of counterparts of a financial instrument causes a financial loss through failure to fulfil an obligation and derives primarily from trade receivables, from other financial assets and from guarantees that may have been given by the company.
The Company deals mainly with known and reliable customers. It is Company policy to subject customers requesting extended payment conditions to procedures for checking their credit class. This check also includes external assessments when available. Sales limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum line of credit, beyond which direct approval by management is required. In addition, the balance of the receivables is monitored on a fortnightly basis over the period, in order to minimise exposure to the risk of losses. Finally, regarding new customers and those not operating in EU countries, a letter of credit to guarantee successful collection is normally used, where possible.
The Company uses non-recourse assignment of debts.
The Company allocates a provision for impairment that reflects the estimated losses on trade receivables and on other receivables, made up primarily of individual write-downs of significant exposures. The Company has relations with customers of significant size, as it operates in the OEM channel.
The credit risk regarding the other financial assets of the Company, including cash and cash equivalents, presents a maximum risk equal to the carrying amount of these assets in the case of insolvency of the counterpart.
When required, the policies of the Group provide for the issue of financial guarantees in favour of subsidiary companies and associates. At 31 December 2022, the Company had provided its subsidiaries with a number of letters of patronage, in detail:
Letters of patronage for a total of Euro 16 million for SAFE S.p.A.
Letters of patronage for a total of around Euro 5 million for Metatron S.p.A.
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may have difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
The main loans of Landi Renzo S.p.A. include financial covenants. In this regard, please note that in March 2023, all credit institutions underwriting the loans issued waiver letters. For more information, please refer to the "Going concern" section.
See the Directors' Report for all further information on risk factor analysis pursuant to Article 154-ter TUF (Consolidated Law on Finance).
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified based on a hierarchy of three levels, according to procedures to determine the fair value, i.e. with reference to the factors used in the process to determine the value:
For more details on climate change, please refer to the non-financial report as at 31 December 2022.

Tangible assets showed an overall decrease of Euro 1,025 thousand, decreasing from Euro 9,693 thousand at 31 December 2021 to Euro 8,668 thousand at 31 December 2022.
Increases for the year, amounting to Euro 1,736 thousand, primarily relate to the acquisition of new production lines and moulds required to launch new products and to cover the increasing orders from a leading OEM customer.
The item "Assets in progress and advance payments" totals Euro 241 thousand at 31 December 2022 (Euro 206 thousand at 31 December 2021) and primarily includes work in progress for investments made by the Company in new work benches needed to handle demand for an increase in production.

| Development costs | 8,869 | 4,247 | -5,079 | 0 | 8,037 |
Development expenditure, totalling Euro 8,037 thousand (Euro 8,869 thousand at 31 December 2021), includes the costs incurred by the Company for internal personnel, for services rendered by third parties and for projects satisfying the requirements of IAS 38 in order to be capitalised.
Costs capitalised in 2022 totalled Euro 4,247 thousand (Euro 4,350 thousand at 31 December 2021).
Research and development activities during 2022 saw the continuation of new projects focusing in particular on products for CNG, biomethane and hydrogen, alternatives to conventional fuels that offer significant benefits and advantages, and in the Mid & Heavy Duty segment. New development activities began during 2022 and they are also expected to continue for the rest of the current year.
The analysis of the recoverability of the values recognised for development activities, which the Company attributes to specific projects, carried out by comparing the margins expected from sales of the products to which the above-mentioned costs refer, and the relative net carrying amounts at the date of 31 December 2022, did not bring to light any impairment.
Changes in goodwill during 2022 are shown in detail below:
| (Thousands of Euro) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | Net Value at 31/12/2021 |
Acquisitions | (Write-downs) | Net Value at 31/12/2022 |
| Goodwill | 30,094 | 0 | 0 | 30,094 |
| Total | 30,094 | 0 | 0 | 30,094 |
The item Goodwill, amounting to Euro 30,094 thousand at 31 December 2022 (Euro 30,094 thousand at 31 December 2021), is attributable in full to the "Green Transportation – Automotive" CGU and did not change compared with the value recognised in the previous year.
As required by IAS 36, the Company evaluated whether there were indicators of impairment with reference to the financial statements at 31 December 2022. Therefore, all goodwill in existence at 31 December 2022 was tested for impairment and the relative results were approved by the Board of Directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A. on 14 March 2023.
In order to identify the CGUs to which to allocate the goodwill recognised in the separate financial statements and tested for impairment, please note that the management, taking into account the Landi Renzo Group reorganisation process taking place over recent years, the Landi Renzo Group's current organisational structure and the methods whereby control is exercised over operations, attributed the goodwill of Landi Renzo S.p.A. to the "Green Transportation – Automotive" CGU devoted primarily to the design, manufacture and sale through the OEM and After Market channels of mechanical and electronic systems and components for the use of gas, which includes the Landi Renzo Group and, as of August 2021, also the results of the Metatron Group. The Metatron acquisition is included within the CGU as the management of the Landi Group immediately initiated the integrated management of Metatron with the other company functions of Landi Renzo S.p.A., intended to achieve significant synergies at the level of operating costs and investments, both for the former Metatron division and for the pre-existing "Automotive" division, which are reflected in the business plan of the "Automotive" segment, which was therefore prepared with this in mind.
Following up on what is set forth above, and to take into account the changed market environment, the directors prepared the Group economic-financial budget for the year 2023, which was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 2 March 2023.
The directors believe that the forecasts for the years subsequent to 2023 included in the Group's economicfinancial plan prepared for the 2022-2025 period and approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 15 March 2022 remain valid.
For said impairment test, a terminal value was estimated which reflects the value of the goodwill beyond the specific period, on the assumption that the companies will continue as a going concern. Expected cash flows refer to current operating conditions and therefore do not include cash flows linked with intervening extraordinary events.
The recoverable value of goodwill was defined with respect to the value in use, intended as the current net value of operating cash flows, appropriately discounted according to the DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) method.
The discount rate was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital ("W.A.C.C."), net of taxes, determined as the weighted average between the cost of equity, calculated using the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) method, and the cost of debt. The rate, as required by IAS 36, was determined with reference to the operating risk of the sector and the financial structure of a sample of listed companies comparable to the Group in terms of risk profile and sector of activity.
The following aspects were taken into consideration to determine the discount rate:
On the basis of the parameters set forth above, the risk-free rate is 3.46%, so the weighted average cost of capital (W.A.C.C.) relating to the Green Transportation - Automotive CGU is equal to 11.77% (10.23% as at 31 December 2021). The "g" growth rate is instead 3.43% (3.45% as at 31 December 2021).
As regards the above-mentioned impairment test, specific sensitivity analyses were performed as required by valuation practices which did not bring to light any critical issues with regard to the recoverable amount of the goodwill recognised.
The main sensitivity analyses performed, in order to provide specific indications on the changes in the
basic assumptions which make the recoverable value equal to the carrying amount, are shown below. Based on the information available at the current date, these changes moreover appear to be unrealistic:

In order to perform a "second level" impairment test on the goodwill recognised in the separate financial statements, the management, starting from the recoverable amount resulting from the Group impairment test performed on the Green Transportation – Automotive CGU, separated the enterprise value of the Metatron Group at the acquisition date and compared that value with the net invested capital Landi Renzo S.p.A. Please note that, also based on that analysis, no critical elements emerged with reference to the recoverable amount of goodwill recognised in the separate financial statements.
These tests, which were prepared with the support of an independent external advisor, and the results of which were approved by the Board of Directors Landi Renzo S.p.A. on 02 March 2023, did not bring to light any impairment losses.
Furthermore, the stock market capitalisation value of Landi Renzo S.p.A. at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 123.7 million and taking into account share performance until 14 March 2023, which was stably significantly higher than the value of the consolidated shareholders' equity, please note that no indicators of impairment emerged in that context.

The share capital stated in the Financial Statements at 31 December 2022 is the share capital (fully subscribed and paid-up) of the Company, which is equal to nominal Euro 22,500 thousand subdivided into a total of 225,000,000 shares, with a nominal value equal to Euro 0.10. The increase with respect to the previous year is linked to the share capital increase described in the "Share capital increase" section.
The balance of the Statutory Reserve at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 2,250 thousand and is unchanged compared with the previous year.
The Extraordinary Reserve amounts to zero as at 31 December 2022, unchanged compared with 31 December 2021.
The IAS Transition Reserve includes the effect of the first-time adoption of IFRS 9 (Euro 320 thousand).
This reserve also includes the effect of accounting for the A.E.B. and Emmegas merger in the course of 2017 and 2018, based on the provisions set forth in Assirevi document OPI no. 2R, which entailed the recognition
of a negative reserve for Euro 3,217 thousand and the merger by incorporation of Lovato Gas S.p.A. in 2020, which entailed the recognition of a positive reserve of Euro 4,088 thousand.
The share premium reserve amounts to Euro 67,117 thousand and increased by Euro 38,172 thousand compared with the previous year after the share capital increase carried out during the year, described in detail in the "Share capital increase" section.
As a result of the realignment of the tax value of the AEB trademark with the statutory value, pursuant to Art. 110 of Decree Law 104/2020, a tax suspension restriction in the amount of Euro 4,082 thousand was placed on the "share premium reserve".
The reserve includes the payment made by the majority shareholder for future capital increases of Euro 8,867 thousand in 2017, as financial support for the Company.

The Shareholders' Meeting of Landi Renzo S.p.A. of 29 April 2022 approved a share capital increase for up to Euro 60 million, which is one of the actions included in the 2022-2025 Business Plan, and aims to provide the Landi Renzo Group with the necessary funding to support the investment plan, which also includes external investment, in market segments expected to have the most growth, such as biomethane and hydrogen. The share capital increase was guaranteed up to Euro 50 million following the commitment made by TIP - Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A., the single largest shareholder of Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., to guarantee in cash the entire share attributable to Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A., and the commitment made by Girefin S.p.A. and Gireimm S.r.l. to guarantee, through the voluntary offsetting of part of the receivable, the capital portion necessary to guarantee the share capital increase up to Euro 50 million to complement the guarantee commitment assumed by TIP - Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. In execution of the investment agreement:
On the same date, and simultaneous with the above-mentioned resolutions, Itaca Gas S.r.l. and E.M.A. 2021 S.r.l. proceeded with the subscription of the share capital increases reserved to them with the issue of the relative shares. Following such subscriptions, the share capital of GbD Green by definition S.p.A. is 51.08% held by Girefin and Gireimm, companies associated with the Landi Trust, 48.49% held by Itaca Equity Holding S.p.A. (through the vehicle Itaca Gas S.r.l.) and 0.43% held by E.M.A. 2021 S.r.l. Therefore, the Landi Trust (through Girefin and Gireimm) continues to indirectly hold de jure control over Landi Renzo.
These transactions provided GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. with the necessary funding to subscribe its portion of the share capital increase. As described above, on 4 August 2022 the offer under option period concluded with the exercise of a total of 107,781,064 option rights valid for the subscription of 107,781,064 new shares, equal to roughly 95.805% of the total of new shares, for a total equivalent value of Euro 57,124 thousand. GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. subscribed its portion of the share capital increase (equal to around 59.1068%) pursuant to the subscription commitment made, for a total equivalent value of roughly Euro 35.2 million, of which around Euro 17.1 million by means of a contribution in cash and Euro 18.1 million by means of voluntary offsetting. The highly positive result of the offer under option, despite the period of strong uncertainty, demonstrates how the financial markets believe in the solidity of the business model of Landi Renzo and its role as a key player in the global energy transition process, thanks to a robust and credible business plan, which bets on the fundamental role to be played by gas, biomethane and hydrogen. The offer of the non-exercised rights concluded on 7 September 2022 with the subscription of 2,874,208 shares for an equivalent value of Euro 1,523 thousand. Overall, the share capital increase concluded with a total subscription of 98.36% of the offer, for an equivalent value of Euro 58,674 thousand. In keeping with what was set forth in the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolution of 29 April 2022, in light of the interest demonstrated by GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. in subscribing all residual shares, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors approved their placement in its favour at a subscription price per share equal to that at which the shares were offered during the share capital increase, i.e., Euro 0.53 (including the share premium). Pursuant to the related party transaction procedure, this resolution was passed with the favourable opinion of the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties. On 19 September 2022, GbD Green by Definition S.p.A. therefore subscribed the remaining shares in their entirety; following that subscription, the share capital increase was thus fully subscribed (total Euro 59,625 thousand).

This item breaks down as follows:
Right-of-use liabilities of Euro 4,597 thousand were recognised in the financial statements at 31 December 2022 (Euro 2,595 thousand at 31 December 2021).
Increases during the year, amounting to Euro 3,696 thousand, are primarily linked to the renewal of lease agreement on the Via Industria building for the 2022-2027 period.
The breakdown and changes in this item are shown in detail below:
| (Thousands of Euro) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provisions for risks and charges | 31/12/2021 | Allocation | Utilisation | 31/12/2022 |

| Other provisions | 81 | 323 | -323 | 81 |
| Total | 5,760 | 9,418 | -1,820 | 13,358 |
The item "Provision for product warranties" includes the best estimate of the costs related to the commitments that the Company has taken on as an effect of legal or contractual provisions, in relation to the expenses connected with providing product warranties for a certain period of time starting from the sale thereof. This estimate was calculated both with reference to the historical data of the Company and on the basis of specific contractual content. At 31 December 2022 this provision totalled Euro 2,494 thousand, after allocations of Euro 1,438 thousand. The increase in allocations compared with the same period of the previous year was linked to the fact that they are directly correlated with turnover trends. Uses of the provision for product warranties totalling Euro 1,469 thousand are due to the coverage of warranty costs correlated with supplies of components in previous years.
The pensions reserve relates to the provision accrued for additional agents' customer indemnity, including uses for the year of Euro 28 thousand.
The provision and utilisation of other provisions (Euro 323 thousand) relate to disputes received from a South American customer on delivery delays not attributable to the Company.
The item "Provision for risks on investments" amounting to Euro 3,105 thousand at 31 December 2021 included the provision recognised in 2021 to cover losses recorded on the subsidiaries Landi Renzo Pakistan Limited and Landi Renzo RO S.r.l. in the amount of Euro 1,160 thousand and Euro 1,945 thousand, respectively.
The addition to the "Provision for risks on investments" amounting to Euro 7,656 thousand in 2022 includes the provision to cover losses recorded on the subsidiaries Landi Renzo RO S.r.l. (Euro 4,531 thousand), Landi Renzo USA Corporation (Euro 2,375 thousand) and AEB America (Euro 750 thousand). The above-mentioned companies indeed had losses for the year and negative values of shareholders' equity. The provisions recorded were therefore made and recognised in the provision for risks in order to reflect the value of losses exceeding the cost value of such equity investments, taking into account the risk and the Company's intention to take financial responsibility for them, in order to cover such losses.
The following is the overall change in defined benefit plans for employees:

| Employee post-employment benefits | 1,298 | 7 | -185 | -172 | 948 |
The provision of Euro 7 thousand relates to revaluation of TFR (employee severance indemnity) at the end of the period, while use of Euro 185 thousand refers to the amounts paid to employees who ceased working during the year. The other changes relate to the actuarial adjustment of the reserve by Euro 130 thousand, accounted for in Other reserves and expressed in other components of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The main economic and financial assumptions used by the actuary in charge of estimates, methodologically unchanged since the previous year, are as follows:

As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million. Following up on what is set forth above, and to take into account the changed market environment, the directors prepared the Group economic-financial budget for the year 2023, which was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Board of Directors on 2 March 2023. For a full presentation of the events, please also refer to the "Significant events after the reporting period and business outlook" section of the Directors' Report.
The structure of the debt is exclusively at a variable rate indexed to the Euribor and increased by a spread aligned with the normal market conditions, partially hedged by financial derivatives; the debt currency is in the Euro.
The loans are not secured by real collateral and there are no clauses other than the early payment clauses normally envisaged by commercial practice.
Taking into account events taking place after the end of the year described above, the annual repayment plan for the medium/long-term loans at the date on which these financial statements were approved is shown below.
| Maturities | Annual loan repayment instalments post-waiver letter |

It should be noted that, as indicated in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, early settlement of loan agreements may be requested should there be a change of control of the Company.
It is considered that the carrying amount of the non-current bank payables is aligned with their fair value at the reporting date.

| Net Financial Position - adjusted (*) | - 64,300 |
- 84,834 |
The Net Financial Position at 31 December 2022 was equal to Euro -68,453 thousand (Euro -112,961 at 31 December 2021), and was impacted by the adoption of the international accounting standard IFRS 16 - Leases, which resulted in the recognition of financial liabilities for rights of use of Euro 4,597 thousand at 31 December 2022 (Euro 2,595 thousand at 31 December 2021), as well as the fair value recognition of financial derivative contracts for Euro 444 thousand at 31 December 2022 (Euro -96 thousand at 31 December 2021).
Net of the effect of adopting IFRS 16 - Leases, the fair value of financial derivative contracts and the remaining payable for the acquisition of equity investments, the net financial position of the Company would have been equal to Euro -64,300 thousand, after investments for Euro 32,462 thousand, up compared with 31 December 2021.
In order to further strengthen the Company's financial structure and make it more consistent with the flows expected from the 2022-2025 Business Plan, in June 2022 two new loan agreements were entered into, for a total of Euro 73 million, aimed at replacing the SACE backed loan agreement and paying off the pool loan. In particular:
With regard to the financial covenants set forth in those contracts (NFP/EBITDA), please note that: (i) there was a small overrun of the contractual level of the covenants at 31 December 2022 which was remedied by a covenant holiday granted by the financial institutions in March 2023 ("waiver letters") and (ii) with reference to the calculation of the financial covenants at 30 June 2023, taking into account, also from a prudential perspective, the outlook operating performance in 2023 in light of the budget approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, the financial institutions approved a slight reset of the covenant calculation parameters.
As the financial covenants had not been respected at 31 December 2022, the payables to credit institutions on which there are financial covenants were reclassified in full to liabilities maturing in the short term in these financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, for a total value of roughly Euro 73 million.

On 22 December 2022, the Board of Directors of Landi Renzo SpA approved, pursuant to Article 114-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98, a compensation plan named the "2022-2024 Performance Shares Plan" concerning the free assignment of the right to receive Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares (for a maximum total of 3,300,000 shares), based on the degree to which specific performance objectives are reached, on the basis of what was approved by the Landi Renzo S.p.A. Shareholders' Meeting on 29 April 2022. The assignment of shares is subject to reaching at least one of the performance objectives as well as the existence, at the date of assignment of the shares, of the employment and/or management relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries.
The plan beneficiaries are several strategically important managers in addition to the Chief Executive Officer. The plan aims to reward the achievement of targets for the 2022-2024 period, as well as incentivise the alignment of the interests of the management with those of the shareholders with a view to creating value over a medium/long-term horizon. The Plan lasts for three years and provides for the assignment of shares in a lump sum at the end of the vesting period.
This plan was measured by an independent expert at 31 December 2022, which quantified the fair value of the transaction, the effects of which were not recognised in 2022 as formal activities for the signing of the relative bilateral agreements with the plan beneficiaries are still ongoing.

This income was then realised in October following the early closure of the relative financial derivative contracts and with the collection of their market value.

| Bank charges and commissions | 1,962 | 767 | 1,195 |
| Total | 5,542 | 3,174 | 2,368 |
Financial expenses at 31 December 2022 amounted to Euro 5,542 thousand (Euro 3,174 thousand at 31 December 2021) and essentially include bank interest charges, interest on loans, interest on non-recourse factoring, actuarial losses deriving from the discounting of the TFR (employee severance indemnity) reserve and bank charges, in addition to the financial effect arising from the adoption of IFRS 16 (Euro 143 thousand).
Financial expenses rose compared with the same period of the previous year due to the recognition in accordance with IFRS 9 of the new loan agreement backed by the SACE guarantee, entered into on 29 June 2022. This agreement, in an equal amount (Euro 21 million) and entered into with the same banking counterparties as the previous agreement, replaces the previous loan agreement guaranteed by SACE (signed on 30 July 2020) and calls for a deferral of the pre-amortisation period of 24 months and the repayment of the final instalment on 31 March 2028. The valuation of this transaction in accordance with the dictates of that standard entailed the recognition of notional financial expenses in the income statement totalling Euro 773 thousand as at 31 June 2022 (net of the positive effect of Euro 70 thousand in the second half of 2022), the effective date of the transaction, with ensuing positive economic effects on subsequent years.

This item, totalling a positive Euro 596 thousand (positive Euro 523 thousand at 31 December 2021), includes the measurement of the equity investment held in the joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo Prv Ltd. In the course of the year ending on 31 December 2022, this joint venture significantly boosted its sales to a major Indian OEM customer, recording revenue of Euro 35.5 million and EBITDA of Euro 6.9 million.

The effect of total taxes in the income statement at 31 December 2022 was equal to a positive Euro 870 thousand (a positive value of Euro 302 thousand at 31 December 2021). The Company did not recognise deferred tax assets on tax losses for the year 2022.
The management, assisted by its tax advisors, prepared a specific analysis aimed at verifying the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which was based on forecasts of the 2023 economic-financial budget, approved by the Board of Directors on 2 March 2023, as well as the forecasts for the years 2024-2025 included in the 2022-2025 economic-financial plan approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2022, and for the year 2026, which was estimated with no expectation of further growth. This analysis did not identify any problems related with the recoverability of deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements. Furthermore, in this regard, on a prudential basis no deferred tax assets were recognised on the tax losses recorded by the Company in 2021 and in 2022.
The theoretical tax charge is only reconciled with the effective charge in relation to IRES, which has characteristics typical of a corporate income tax, taking into consideration the tax rate applying to the company. No reconciliation between theoretical and actual tax burden has been prepared for IRAP (regional tax on production activities), in view of the different way of determining the basis of calculation for the tax.

Subsequently, on 24 March 2023, it confirmed that the above requirements had been met, also pursuant to Recommendation no. 7 of the Corporate Governance Code; on these occasions, the Board of Statutory Auditors also assessed that in overall terms it was adequate for its position held, in terms of its composition, as well as its expertise, professionalism, experience, the gender and age of members, and reported the findings of the self-appraisal processes to the Board of Directors for all necessary requirements.

Moreover, the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and/or at least another member took part in the meetings of the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee, the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and in the meetings of the Independent Directors.
As the Company adopted the Corporate Governance Code on 15 March 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors monitored the correct adoption of the corporate governance rules set out in the Corporate Governance Code and observed said rules in carrying out its duties. The Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledged that the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors, on 24 March 2023, had reviewed the letter sent by the Chairman of the Committee for Corporate Governance on 25 January 2023 and the recommendations set forth therein.

No findings were identified from the supervisory activities carried out in the areas and according to the procedures described above indicating a failure to comply with law or with the memorandum of association, or such as to warrant notification to the Supervisory Authorities or mention in this report.
Moreover, based on information and evidence available, the Board of Statutory Auditors can reasonably believe that operations adopted by the Board of Directors conform to law and the articles of association and are not manifestly imprudent, risky or in contrast with the decisions taken by the Shareholders' meeting or such as to affect the integrity of company assets.
With respect to Related-Party Transactions, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its previous composition, monitored the application of the RPT Procedure during the disbursement by the parent company Girefin S.p.A. of a shareholder loan, which was necessary to meet the Metatron S.p.A. acquisition obligations.

In particular, the above section states that related-party transactions take place at arm's length on the markets in question, considering the characteristics of the goods and the services supplied.
The Board of Statutory Auditors considers disclosure on these transactions, provided according to the above procedures, and also based on analyses and periodic controls carried out by the Committee for Transactions with Related Parties, to be adequate overall, and consistent with and in the interests of the Company. Related-Party Transactions, identified based on international accounting standards and provisions issued by Consob, are governed by an internal procedure (the "Procedure") adopted by the Board of Directors on 30 June 2021 in compliance with regulatory provisions in force.
The Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed the Procedure, establishing its conformity to Consob Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010, as amended, in particular by Consob resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020.
6. Relations with the Independent Auditors, pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010 and observations on their independence
The Board of Statutory Auditors monitored the efficiency of the statutory auditing process, discussing and reviewing aspects in specific meetings with the Independent Auditors (PWC S.p.A.) concerning:
The Independent Auditors notified its fees for 2022 for audit services, inclusive of the additional auditing activities and services during the share capital increase transaction, totalling Euro 415,193, of which Euro 95,000 for activities connected to the share capital increase, and Euro 44,000 for additional non-recurring auditing fees and ESEF tagging, confirming that no other services apart from audit services had been provided, hereinafter also referred to a: non-audit services (NAS).

As regards the independence of the Independent Auditors, the Board of Statutory Auditors and as already indicated, also in its capacity as Internal Control and Audit Committee:
Based on information obtained and activities carried out, no facts or situations that may pose risks for the independence of the Independent Auditors were identified, and in this regard, the Board of Statutory Auditors had no observations to make to the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Board of Statutory Auditors monitored the adequacy of the administrative and accounting system, and its reliability in correctly representing operations, obtaining information from the heads of administration functions and exchanging information with the Control and Risks Committee, the Internal Audit function and the Independent Auditors.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also monitored, periodically meeting with the Financial Reporting Manager, the organisation, company procedures and instruments used to collect information and data necessary to prepare the financial statements, consolidated financial statements and interim reports, as well as other financial disclosure, in order to: i) evaluate the adequacy and actual adoption and ii) verify the suitability and efficiency of the powers

and resources given by the Board of Directors to the Financial Reporting Manager to carry out his/her duties.
In this regard, the Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledged the certification issued by the Delegated Bodies (specifically the Chief Executive Officer), and by the Financial Reporting Manager pursuant to Article 154-, paragraph 5 of the TUF, on the financial statements of the Company and on the consolidated financial statements of the Group at 31 December 2022, and on the Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2022 and on quarterly reports, in which no findings or observations had been identified.
The Board of Statutory Auditors considers the administrative and accounting system on the whole to be basically adequate and reliable for the size and complexity of the Company and Group.
Considering that the Independent Auditors have responsibility for the statutory auditing of the accounts, the Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the general configuration of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements and their compliance with regulations governing their basis for presentation and structure. The Board of Statutory Auditors also verified the conformity of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements to the facts and information which came to its knowledge while carrying out its duties. In this regard, the Board of Statutory Auditors has no particular findings to report.
As part of its functions, the Board of Statutory Auditors monitored the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system: a) obtaining information from the heads of relevant company departments, also to check the existence, adequacy and actual adoption of procedures; b) participating in meetings of the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee; c) periodically meeting the head of the internal audit function and obtaining information on the results of work carried out, actions recommended and subsequent initiatives taken; d) exchanging information with the Independent Auditors.
In this regard, the Board acknowledged the disclosure provided periodically by the Director in his capacity as Director in charge of establishing and maintaining an effective internal control system, and the interim reports prepared by the Control, Risks and Sustainability Committee on activities carried out where, among others, an opinion was given in favour of the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system.
Based on the above and considering the control activities carried out and ongoing improvement actions, the Board of Statutory Auditors considers the internal control system to be adequate as a whole for the size, complexity and operations of the Company and Group, while in any event recommending the continuation in the course of the year of the process undertaken in 2022 of strengthening the organisational structure, an element

deemed appropriate to allow for the full integration of the recently acquired companies, also based on the expansion of the group scope.
As already stated, the Board of Statutory Auditors monitored compliance with the provisions established in Italian Legislative Decree 254/2016 and in the Implementing regulation adopted by Consob with Resolution no. 20267 of 18/01/2018 with reference to the Non-Financial Statement ("NFS") and existence of an adequate organisational, administration, reporting and control system prepared by the Company with the aim of providing a true and fair view of non-financial information.
Based on the information obtained and evidence acquired, according to the above terms, the Board of Statutory Auditors considered the procedures, processes and structures for the production, reporting, measurement and representation of the aforesaid information to be substantially adequate and has no findings to report to the Shareholders' Meeting.
Pursuant to applicable Consob provisions, the Board of Statutory Auditors also reports the following:

Amongst the significant events indicated by the Company in the Directors' Report, the financial statements and consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022, please note:
Based on the information provided by the Company and the data acquired from the above operations, the Board of Statutory Auditors established their conformity to law, to the memorandum of association and to principles of proper administration, ensuring that the operations were not manifestly imprudent or risky, in potential conflict of interest, in contrast with decisions taken by the Shareholders' Meeting or such as to affect the integrity of the company's assets.
The Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledged the significant events taking place after the reporting period, commented on in more detail in the section "Significant events occurring

In particular, please note:

Please note, purely for informative purposes, that in the aforesaid Reports, the Independent Auditors considered it appropriate to identify key aspects of the auditing, which, for the consolidated financial statements of Landi Renzo S.p.A., were a) the recoverability of the value of goodwill; b) the recoverability of receivables for deferred tax assets and c) the financial covenants as at 31 December 2022 while, as concerns the

In the Report on the auditing of the consolidated financial statements, the Independent Auditors also declared that they had verified the approval by the directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A of the 2022 Non-Financial Statement for the Landi Renzo Group.

Moreover, on 30 March 2023 the Independent Auditors:
During periodic meetings held by the Board of Statutory Auditors with the Independent Auditors, pursuant to Article 150, paragraph 3 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998, no aspects were identified that must be emphasized in this Report.
Moreover, the Board did not receive any indications from the Independent Auditors on matters to report identified while carrying out the statutory auditing of the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements.

As part of its activities and based on the above, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not identify any specific critical aspects, omissions, matters to report or irregularities and has no observations, or proposals to make to the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 153 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998, for areas in its remit, and has no reason to prevent the proposed approval of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2022 or coverage of the loss of Euro 15,749,826.46 by using the Share Premium Reserve in full, made by the Board of Directors to the Shareholders' Meeting.
