(This report has been translated into English from the original, which was prepared in Italian and represents the only authentic copy, solely for the convenience of international readers.)
To the shareholders of Italian Wine Brands S.p.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the comprehensive consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and the consolidated statement of cash flow and related explanatory notes of Italian Wine Brands S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (Italian Wine Brands Group) as of June 30, 2021.
Management is responsible for the preparation of this interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) endorsed by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with review standard recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 dated July 31, 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Italian Wine Brands Group as of June 30, 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34), endorsed by the European Union.

The first half of 2021 was confirmed as a particular period for the international economy, subject to a slight recovery in generalized consumption, however still far from pre-pandemic levels. On the one hand, in fact, the fears for the worsening of the economical environment experienced during the pandemic peak, tempered by the success of the vaccination campaigns, had an influence, on the other hand the desire of consumers for the return to a regime of normality, of social stability and realignment of consumption habits acted strongly.
In this context, the Italian Wine Brands group has pursued its mission, which is to bring its branded products to its customers around the world through all commercial channels and with the aim of making them happy in the shopping and consumption experience. This strategy was implemented by developing every necessary action aimed at protecting company stakeholders, employees, customers, suppliers, in the still critical period of lock-down and pandemic, guaranteeing maximum operational safety to all company areas. Security measures have been put in place in terms of health and home working protocols which have made it possible to continue seamlessly and at full capacity all the group's production and distribution activities as well as maximum compliance with safety provisions also in agreement with and support by trade unions and workers' organizations.
The mission of Italian Wine Brands described above was also pursued both through an important commercial effort aimed at increasing organic sales and through the acquisition of 100% of the shares of the company Enoitalia SpA, formalized on July 27, 2021. For information on this transaction, refer to paragraph 2.2 Significant events occurring after the end of the half year
In terms of reference markets, IWB achieved its business volume in the first half of the year mainly and increasingly with foreign customers (79.9% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 78.8% in the first six months of 2020) and only for a residual part with national customers.
More that 90% sales are made through a portfolio of proprietary and registered brands. In particular, the group operates under the various brands:



The "wholesale" channel, aimed at the sale of products to sector operators, such as large-scale retail chains, state monopolies and traditional trade, has continued the organic growth undertaken for several years and has further strengthened its presence on the Swiss market through the acquisition, which took place in March 2020, of the subsidiary Raphael Dal Bo AG.
The "distance selling" channel, aimed at the direct sale of the products in the portfolio to private consumers, recorded a significant increase in volumes sold in the first half of the year thanks to the policies to strengthen e-commerce sales undertaken starting from 2017.
From a corporate point of view, IWB S.p.A. carries out management and coordination activities for Group companies.
The corporate organization chart of the Italian Wine Brands group is provided below.

During the first half of 2021, the consolidated Sales revenues of the group reached Euro 99.5 million, an increase compared to the Euro 92.2 million of the first half of 2020 (+ 8.0% year on year) thanks exclusively to organic development of the group's activities. The compound annual growth rate (ie "CAGR": compound annual growth rate) in the two-year period 2019/2021 consolidated at a level of 19.2%, a figure significantly higher than the average of the wine market.
The contribution to growth was in particular provided by international markets, where the group achieved 79.9% of total revenues (78.8% in the first half of 2020, 77.6% in the first half of 2019). The Italian market substantially confirmed the sales levels of the first half of 2020, thanks to the stability of the commercial channels in which the group operates.

The wholesale division is confirmed as the main contributor to the group's revenues also during the first half of 2021, accounting for 56.8% of total sales revenues (54.9% in 2020, 53.3% in 2019). Growth was constant and solid over the 2019-2021 period with a two-year CAGR of 23.0%, partly also favored by the acquisition of Raphael Del Bo AG (March 2020) which contributed in the first half of 2021 with a total turnover of Euro 6.2 million (Euro 5.7 million in the first half of 2020).

The distance selling channel performed well in the first half of the year, recording an overall growth of 2.8% compared to the same period of 2020. This figure is to be considered particularly positive, as the sales volumes in the period March - June 2020 had been very significantly positively impacted by the lockdown caused by the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. The repurchase rates of new customers acquired in this phase were up compared to historical averages, especially in Germany, while in Italy customers proved to be more opportunistic and much more sensitive to pricing and promotional policies.


The parameters that contribute to determining the life time value of customers have improved in a particular way starting from 2019 thanks to the continuous improvement strategies undertaken in the production in the cellar, in the Customer Care and in the Logistics and Transport department which, together, have allowed to increase the perception of the customer towards the Giordano Vini® brand is noteworthy and have guaranteed the success of Svinando.com® both in Italy (+ 90% yoy) and in Germany.

The table above shows first of all that, during the first half of 2021, the incidence of raw material consumption on turnover is substantially in line with the same period of the previous year, with a very slight increase exclusively due to the mix effect of sale of distribution channels.
Costs for Services increased in the period in question to absolute values (Euro 1.9 million) due to the growth in turnover, going from Euro 25.3 million at 30 June 2020 to Euro 27.2 million, while in terms of incidence on the turnover recorded a further decrease of over 30 bps (from 27.35% to 27.02%).

| The details of the costs for services incurred by the Group during the first half of 2021 are provided below, compared with the same items in 2020 and 2019. |
In general terms, the reduction in the percentage incidence of costs for services on turnover is linked to a "mix" effect of sales, increasingly oriented towards the wholesale distribution channel, structurally characterized by a significantly lower incidence of costs for services on revenues compared to sales made on the distance selling channel.
All cost items in this area remained essentially stable or slightly decreased in absolute values compared to previous periods, except for:
"third party services", which include the costs for moving goods between warehouses;
"transport costs", almost entirely related to the cost of home delivery of sales to private customers;
"duties and excise duties on sales", which vary according to turnover;
which increased in line with the turnover trend of both the wholesale channel and the distance selling channel.
Personnel costs recorded a slight increase in absolute values in the half year (from Euro 4.0 million to Euro 4.3 million) linked to the strengthening of the wholesale commercial area and



| the staff functions, which corresponds to a stability of percentage incidence on turnover (4.4%). |

In the first half of 2021, financial charges substantially doubled compared to the same period of the previous year due to the issue of the bond for a total of Euro 130.0 million completed on May 13, 2021 (see section Significant events).
As regards the item "taxes", on the other hand, there was a significant decrease in the tax rate compared to the past thanks to tax assets present and used in the period in the subsidiary Giordano Vini S.p.A.
During the half year in question, the group made significant investments in Fixed Capital, amounting to a total of Euro 2.5 million (Euro 1.8 million in the first half of 2020). In particular, the two bottling lines and filtration systems of the Alba winery were profoundly modernized as well as the machinery management software, which is completely interconnected with the company ERP and therefore will be able to take advantage of the economic contributions deriving from the Industry 4.0. In addition to this, investments were made in the IT area, in particular with regard to the ERP system (transition to Microsoft Business Central platform), Wholesale CRM systems, product offering systems and the development of web platforms.
From the point of view of financial commitments, on 31 March 2021 the earn-out relating to approximately 14% of the total price was paid to the shareholders of Raphael dal Bo AG, equal to CHF 2.0 million based on the target Ebitda 2020 fully achieved.
Net working capital recorded a slight increase compared to June 30, 2020 as a result of two opposite effects: on the one hand positive as the trade receivables and trade payables decreased following the stabilization of the turnover, on the other negative since the net



current fiscal position is characterized by lower debts linked to the stabilization of sales (reduction of the difference between debit and credit VAT compared to the previous year) and higher direct taxes paid in the period.
The Net Financial Debt is confirmed in significant reduction, in absolute values, compared to 30 June 2020, going from Euro 9.4 million to Euro 3.8 million, despite the investments described above and the distribution of the two tranches of dividends, which took place one in January (€ 0.40 per share) and the other in April (€ 0.25 per share), for a total of approximately € 4.8 million.
It should be noted that on May 13, 2021 Italian Wine Brands successfully placed on the market its first Senior Unsecured Bond Loan for a total amount of Euro 130.0 million, maturing May 13, 2027, bullet repayment and a fixed interest rate at 2.5% per annum. The proceeds from this bond issue were allocated i) to the repayment of existing credit lines (Euro 24.0 million) which took place in June 2021 and ii) to the payment of a portion of the price relating to the acquisition of 100% of the company Enoitalia SpA (Euro 105.0 million), completed on 27 July 2021 (as better explained in the following paragraph 2.2 Significant events that occurred after the end of the half year - of this report).
On 27 July 2021, Italian Wine Brands S.p.A. finalised its investment transaction in Enoitalia S.p.A. (the "Transaction") which provided for:
Simultaneously to the closing of the Transaction, Chairman and CEO of the IWB Group, Alessandro Mutinelli, through Provinco S.r.l., (a company wholly owned by him), and Gruppo Pizzolo S.p.A., signed a 5-year shareholders' agreement covering 23.55% of IWB's share capital and providing for the following main understandings reached between the parties:

vi. drag-along: in the event that Provinco S.r.l. intends to transfer to a third party all of its shareholding that is the subject of the agreement, Provinco S.r.l. will have the right to request Gruppo Pizzolo to transfer (and, in this case, Gruppo Pizzolo will have the obligation to transfer) all of the IWB shares then held, directly and indirectly, in favour of the third party purchaser.
Enoitalia is an Italian company operating in the production, bottling and marketing of wine in five continents and over eighty countries and exports about 80% of its products. The main reference markets are continental Europe, the UK and the United States, where Enoitalia boasts a presence in both on and off trade channels; other markets, such as Asia, Australia, Russia and the Middle East are instead served by a dedicated task force.
Enoitalia has a business model and a set of skills that are extremely complementary to those of IWB and, for this reason, the Transaction represents a significant opportunity to integrate the group headed by IWB with that headed by Enoitalia in order to create significant synergies, both in terms of market positioning and product offering.
During the entire 2020 financial year, Enoitalia achieved sales revenues for a total of Euro 200.8 million, with an Ebitda of Euro 17.1 million and a net financial debt of Euro 1.1 million. These accounting data can be inferred from the company's financial statements as at 31 December 2020, drawn up according to the OIC accounting principles.
During the first half of 2021, Enoitalia achieved revenues from sales for a total of Euro 97.3 million, with an Ebitda of Euro 7.2 million and a net financial debt of Euro 11.0 million. These accounting data can be deduced from the half-year financial statements drawn up in accordance with the OIC accounting principles and not subject to audit.
The efforts of the management are, as always, aimed at expanding its distribution and production capacity through the full satisfaction of its customers, both private and executive. For IWB, the acquisition of Enoitalia allows in particular a significant strengthening (i) of the product offering among the fastest growing categories within its core business and (ii) of the market positioning, with an improvement in its profitability and the generation of cash flows, benefiting from further economies of scale.
Furthermore, with the integration between IWB and Enoitalia, their respective entrepreneurial, managerial and creative cultures will be brought together, as well as the related know-how, to strengthen the competitiveness of the group, accelerate its development path and implement cost and cost synergies. revenue aimed at maximizing economic / financial results.

The subsidiary Giordano Vini S.p.A. - which owns industrial buildings for production purposes - has implemented the Risk Assessment Document required by the law on safety at work.
Said document provides for an analysis of the risks present in the company both in terms of work activities and settlement methods; then it identifies the measures taken to minimize risks, those still to be taken and those to maintain an adequate level of safety. Finally, the necessary timeframes for the implementation of the remaining measures are identified.
The method of carrying out the work activity was considered in the analysis of the risks without specific risk situations being identified. The subject is always under control in the periodic updates of these documents.
The Risk Assessment Documents, as well as the Emergency Plans and Maps with safety signs and exit routes are periodically updated.
During first half 2021, constant health monitoring activities were carried out, as required by current legislation.
During the period, awareness activities continued on environmental and safety issues with adhoc training initiatives, as well as on the accident prevention measures and first aid, providing specific training for firefighting and first-aid workers, in full compliance with the reference regulatory framework.
Starting in 2012, the companies of the Italian Wine Brands Group adopted an Occupational Health and Safety Management System in compliance with the international standard OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series).Starting from 2021the company updated to UNI ISO45001:2018 certification.
UNI ISO45001:2018 certification is not a legal obligation but the voluntary choice of those who feel responsibility for their own safety and that of others and puts these principles into practice through the adoption of a Health and Safety Management System for Workers.
The primary objective of a safety management system is to prevent and minimize accidents and incidents by integrating safe work practices into all areas of an organization.

33 | CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2021 The consolidated Annual Financial Report was prepared on a going concern basis. The Group has assessed that, despite the general uncertainty and volatility of the financial markets


connected to the viral epidemic of Covid-19 which on 11 March 2020 was classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, there are no significant uncertainties (as defined by paragraph 24 of IAS 1) on the going concern, since the operational management of the Group has not been significantly affected by this phenomenon and since the production and sale of products has grown significantly in the last two years.
The presentation currency being the Euro, and the amounts shown are rounded to the nearest whole number, including, unless otherwise indicated, the amounts shown in the notes. Unless otherwise indicated, the figures reported in these notes are expressed in thousands of Euro.
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements requires the making of estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the values of the assets and liabilities in the financial statements and on the information relating to potential assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The final results could differ from the estimates made which are based on data that reflect the current state of the information available. The estimates are used to record the provisions for credit risks, asset write-downs, current and deferred taxes, other provisions and provisions. The estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of each change are immediately reflected in the income statement.
With regard to the valuation of financial assets, due to the nature of the financial assets held by the Group relating mainly to cash and cash equivalents, and receivables from the tax authorities for VAT, there are no particular risks arising from the uncertainties defined above. ***
The accounting principles adopted in the preparation of the consolidated half-year financial report comply with those used for the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 with the exception of the accounting principles, amendments and interpretations which were applied for the first time. by the Group starting from 1 January 2021, described below.
The general principle adopted in the preparation of this consolidated Annual Financial Report is that of cost, with the exception of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value.
The most significant accounting principles adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is calculated as the sum of the amount paid, valued at fair value as at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest held in the acquired asset. For each



business combination, the purchaser must assess any non-controlling interest held in the acquired property at fair value or proportionate to the non-controlling interests held in the net identifiable assets of the acquired property. Acquisition costs are expensed and classified as administrative expenses.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date; exceptions to this are deferred tax assets and liabilities, assets and liabilities for employee benefits, liabilities or equity instruments relating to sharebased payments of the acquired company or share-based payments issued in place of contracts of the acquired company, and assets (or groups of assets and liabilities) held for sale, which are instead measured according to their reference standard.
Any potential consideration must be recorded by the purchaser at fair value at the date of acquisition and classified according to IAS 32.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, which is the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the value of shareholders' equity attributable to noncontrolling interests and the fair value of any investment previously held in the acquiree over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. If the value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the value of the shareholders' equity pertaining to noncontrolling interests and the fair value of any investment previously held in the acquiree, this excess is immediately recognized in profit or loss as income from the transaction concluded.
The portions of shareholders' equity pertaining to non-controlling interests at the acquisition date can be measured at fair value or at the pro-rata value of the net assets recognized for the acquiree. The choice of valuation method is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
Any contingent consideration provided for in the business combination contract is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the value of the consideration transferred in the business combination for the purpose of determining goodwill. Any subsequent changes in this fair value, which may be qualified as adjustments arising during the measurement period, are retrospectively included in goodwill. Changes in fair value that qualify as adjustments arising during the measurement period are those resulting from additional information on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, obtained during the measurement period (which may not exceed one year from the business combination).
In the case of business combinations carried out in stages, the equity investment previously held in the acquiree is revalued at fair value at the date of acquisition of control and any resulting profit or loss is recognized in the income statement. Any amounts deriving from the



equity investment previously held and recognized in Other comprehensive income are restated in profit or loss as if the equity investment had been sold.
If the initial amounts of a business combination are incomplete at the reporting date of the financial statements in which the business combination took place, provisional amounts of the items for which recognition cannot be completed are reported in the consolidated financial statements. These provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period to take into account new information obtained about facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amount of the assets and liabilities recognized at that date.
Transactions in which the parent company acquires or sells further bon-controlling interests without changing the control exercised over the subsidiary are transactions with shareholders and therefore the relative effects must be recognized in shareholders' equity: there will be no adjustments to goodwill and no gains or losses recognized in the income statement.
Ancillary charges relating to business combinations are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Goodwill is recognized as an asset with an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if there is an indication that specific events or changed circumstances may have caused an impairment loss. Impairment losses are immediately recognized in profit or loss statement and are not subsequently reversed. After the initial recognition, goodwill is valued at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
In order to test for impairment, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at the acquisition date, to the individual cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that should benefit from the synergies of the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Any loss in value is identified by comparing the carrying amount of the cash generating unit with its realizable value. If the realizable value of the cash-generating unit is lower than the



carrying amount attributed, the related impairment loss is recognized. This impairment loss is not reversed if the reasons for it no longer exist.
If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of part of the assets of that unit, the goodwill associated with the disposed asset shall be included in the carrying amount of the asset when determining the gain or loss on disposal. The goodwill associated with the discontinued asset must be determined on the basis of the relative values of the discontinued asset and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
With effect from 1 January 2014, the Directors of Giordano Vini S.p.A., also with the support of an independent expert, attributed an indefinite useful life to the trademark acquired as part of a merger transaction. As part of the business combination carried out in 2015, with regard to Provinco Italia S.p.A., part of the purchase price was allocated to the trademarks owned by Provinco, attributing an indefinite useful life to them as well.
Intangible assets with finite useful life are valued at purchase or production cost net of amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is commensurate with the expected useful life of the asset and begins when the asset is available for use. The useful life is reviewed annually, and any changes are made prospectively.
Whenever there are reasons to do so, intangible assets with a finite useful life are tested for impairment.
Other intangible assets are recognized in the statement of financial position only if it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and if the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Once these conditions are met, intangible assets are recorded at purchase cost, which corresponds to the price paid plus accessory charges.
The gross carrying amount of other intangible assets with a finite useful life is systematically allocated over the years in which they are used, by means of constant amortization charges, in relation to their estimated useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use and is proportionate, for the first reporting period, to the period of actual use. The amortization rates used are determined on the basis of the useful life of the related assets.

The useful life values used for the purposes of preparing this Consolidated Annual Financial Report are as follows:
| CATEGORY | USEFUL LIFE |
|---|---|
| Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights | 10 years |
| Industrial patent and use of intellectual property | 3 years |
| Project for adjustment of management control | 3 years |
| Software and other intangible assets | 3-4 years |
Lease contracts are recorded as rights of use under non-current assets with a balancing entry in a financial liability. The cost of the fee is broken down into its components of financial expense, recorded in profit or loss over the term of the contract, and repayment of principal, recorded as a reduction of the financial liability. The right of use is amortized on a monthly basis on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the term of the contract.
Rights of use and financial liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future payments discounted using the incremental borrowing rate.
Tangible assets are composed of:
These are recorded at purchase or production cost, including directly attributable ancillary charges necessary for putting the asset into operation for its intended use.
The cost is reduced by depreciation, with the exception of land, which is not depreciated because it has an indefinite useful life, and any losses in value.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using percentages that reflect the economic and technical deterioration of the asset and is calculated from the moment in which the asset is available for use.

38 |


Significant parts of property, plant and equipment with different useful life are accounted for separately and depreciated over their useful life.
The useful life of assets and residual values are reviewed annually at the time of closing the financial statements. The useful life values used for the purposes of preparing this Consolidated Annual Financial Report are as follows:
| CATEGORY | USEFUL LIFE |
|---|---|
| Land | Indefinite |
| Buildings | 18-50 years |

Profits and losses arising from the sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss for the period.
Leasehold improvements with the characteristics of fixed assets are capitalized in the category of the asset to which they refer and are depreciated over their useful life or, if shorter, over the duration of the lease agreement.
Financial charges, incurred for investments in assets which normally require a certain period of time to be ready for use or sale (qualifying asset pursuant to IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs), are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the class of assets to which they refer.
All other financial charges are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.


At least once a year it is checked whether the assets and/or the cash generating units ("CGUs") to which the assets are attributable may have suffered an impairment loss. If there is such evidence, the realizable value of the assets/CGUs is estimated. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment annually or more frequently, whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Realizable value is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The value in use is defined on the basis of the discounting back of the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset, gross of taxes, applying a discount rate that reflects current market changes in the time value of money and the risks of the asset.
If it is not possible to estimate the realizable value of the individual fixed asset, the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the fixed asset belongs is determined.
If the realizable value of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the loss is recognized in profit or loss. Subsequently, if an impairment loss on assets other than goodwill ceases to exist or decreases, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the new estimate of its realizable value (which, however, may not exceed the net carrying amount that the asset would have had if the impairment loss had never been recognized). This reversal is immediately recognized in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries not included in the scope of consolidation are stated at cost, adjusted for impairment. The positive difference resulting from the acquisition between the acquisition cost and the portion of the shareholders' equity at replacement cost of the investee company pertaining to the period is therefore included in the carrying amount of the investment. If there is evidence that these investments have suffered a loss in value, this is recorded in the income statement as a write-down. In the event that any share of the losses of the investee exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, and the entity has an obligation to account for them, the value of the investment is written off and the share of any further losses is recognized as a provision under liabilities. If, subsequently, the loss in value no longer exists or is reduced, a reversal of the impairment loss within the limits of cost is recognized in profit or loss.
Associates are all companies over which the Group is able to exercise significant influence as defined by IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Such influence is normally presumed to exist when the Group holds a percentage of voting rights between 20% and 50%,
40 |


or when - even with a lower percentage of voting rights - it has the power to participate in the determination of financial and management policies by virtue of particular legal ties such as, for example, participation in shareholders' agreements together with other forms of significant exercise of governance rights.
Joint arrangements are agreements under which two or more parties have joint control on the basis of a contract. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Such agreements may give rise to joint ventures or joint operations.
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 ventures differ from joint operations, which are arrangements that give the parties to the arrangement which have joint control over the initiative, rights over the individual assets and obligations for the individual liabilities relating to the arrangement. In the case of joint operations, it is mandatory to recognize the assets and liabilities, costs and revenues of the arrangement in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. The Group has no joint operation arrangements in place.
Financial instruments are included in the statement of financial position items described below. Investments and other non-current financial assets include investments in subsidiaries and other non-current financial assets. Current financial assets include trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. In particular, cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits. Financial liabilities refer to financial payables, including payables for advances on orders, assignment of receivables, as well as other financial liabilities (which include the negative fair value of derivative financial instruments), trade payables and other payables.
Non-current financial assets other than equity investments, as well as financial liabilities, are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9. Loans and receivables not held for trading and assets held with the intention of keeping them in the portfolio until maturity are valued at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. When financial assets do not have a fixed maturity, they are valued at purchase cost. Evaluations are regularly carried out to verify whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset may have been impaired. If there is objective evidence, the impairment loss shall be recognized as an expense in the income statement for the period. With the exception of derivative financial instruments, financial liabilities are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method.


Trade receivables are initially recorded at amortized cost, which coincides with the adjusted nominal value, in order to adjust it to the presumed realizable value, by recording a provision for bad debts. This provision for bad debts is commensurate with both the size of the risks relating to specific receivables and the size of the general risk of non-collection impending on all the receivables, prudentially estimated based on past experience and the degree of known financial equilibrium of all debtors.
Trade and other payables are recorded at their nominal value, which is considered representative of the settlement value. Receivables and payables in foreign currencies are aligned with the exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date and gains or losses deriving from conversion are entered in profit or loss.
Receivables assigned as a result of factoring transactions are eliminated from the statement of financial position if the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred to the assignee, thus constituting a non-recourse assignment. The portion of disposal costs that is certain to be included in the quantum amount is recognized as a financial liability.
Collections received on behalf of the factoring company and not yet transferred, generated by the contractual terms and conditions that provide for the periodic and predetermined transfer, are stated under financial liabilities.
The item relating to cash and cash equivalents includes cash, bank current accounts, postal current accounts, deposits repayable on demand and other short-term highly liquid financial investments that are readily convertible into cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Financial liabilities include financial payables, including payables for deferred price parts relating to the assignment of non-recourse receivables, as well as other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities, other than derivative financial instruments, are initially recorded at market value (fair value) less transaction costs; they are subsequently valued at amortized cost, i.e., at their initial value, net of principal repayments already made, adjusted (upwards or downwards) on the basis of the amortization (using the effective interest method) of any differences between the initial value and the value at maturity.




Inventory is recorded at the lower of purchase or production cost and realizable value, represented by the amount that the entity expects to obtain from their sale in the normal course of business. The cost configuration adopted is the weighted average cost. Purchase costs include prices paid to suppliers increased by ancillary costs incurred up to entry into the warehouse, net of discounts and rebates. Production costs include both direct costs of materials and labor and reasonably attributable indirect production costs. In the allocation of production overheads, the normal production capacity of the plants is taken into account for the allocation of the cost of the products.
Provisions are made for the value of inventory determined in this way to take into account inventory considered obsolete or slow-moving.
Inventory also includes production cost relating to returns expected in future periods in connection with deliveries already made, estimated based on the sales value less the average mark-up applied.
Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations are classified as such if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. These conditions are considered to have been met when the sale or discontinuance of the group of assets being disposed of is considered highly probable and the assets and liabilities are immediately available for sale in the conditions in which they are located.
When an entity is involved in a disposal plan that results in a loss of control of an investee, all assets and liabilities of that investee are classified as held for sale when the above conditions are met, even if, after disposal, the entity continues to hold a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary.
Assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their net carrying amount and fair value net of selling costs.
Bonuses paid under defined-contribution plans are recognized in profit or loss for the portion accrued during the year.
Until 31 December 2006, the provision for employee severance indemnities (TFR) was considered a defined benefit plan. The rules governing this fund were amended by Law 296 of
43 |

27 December 2006 ("2007 Finance Act") and subsequent Decrees and Regulations issued in early 2007. In light of these changes, and in particular with reference to companies with at least 50 employees, this scheme is now to be considered a defined benefit plan solely for the amounts accrued before 1 January 2007 (and not yet paid at the reporting date), while for the amounts accrued after that date it is similar to a defined contribution plan.
Defined-benefit pension plans, which also include severance indemnities due to employees pursuant to Article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code, are based on the working life of the employees and the remuneration received by the employee during a predetermined period of service. In particular, the liability representing the benefit due to employees under defined benefit plans is recorded in the financial statements at its actuarial value.
The recognition of defined benefit plans requires the actuarial estimation of the amount of benefits accrued by employees in exchange for service rendered in the current and prior periods and the discounting back of such benefits in order to determine the present value of the entity's commitments. The present value of the commitments is determined by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. This method considers each period of service provided by employees at the company as an additional unit under law: actuarial liability must therefore be quantified only on the basis of the seniority accrued at the valuation date; therefore, total liability is normally re-proportioned based on the ratio between the years of service accrued at the valuation date of reference and the total seniority achieved at the time envisaged for the payment of the benefit. In addition, the above method provides to consider future salary increases, for whatever reason (inflation, career, contract renewals, etc.), until the time of termination of employment.
The cost of defined-benefit plans accrued during the year and recorded in profit or loss as part of personnel expenses is equal to the sum of the average current value of the rights accrued by the employees present for the work performed during the period, and the annual interest accrued on the present value of the commitments of the entity at the beginning of the period, calculated using the discount rate of future disbursements adopted for the estimate of the liability at the end of the previous period. The annual discount rate adopted for the calculations is assumed to be equal to the market rate at the end of the period for zero coupon bonds with a maturity equal to the average residual duration of the liability.
The amount of actuarial losses and gains deriving from changes in the estimates made is charged to profit or loss.
It should be noted that the valuation of the employee severance indemnity in accordance with IAS 19 concerned only Giordano Vini S.p.A., whose financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS and did not have an impact on Provinco Italia S.p.A.; the effect on this company is estimated to be insignificant.



The Group also remunerates its top management through stock grant plans. In such cases, the theoretical benefit attributed to the parties concerned is debited to profit or loss in the years covered by the plan, with a balancing entry in the shareholders' equity reserve. This benefit is quantified by measuring the fair value of the assigned instrument at the assignment date using financial valuation techniques, including any market conditions and adjusting the number of rights that are expected to be assigned at each reporting date.
These are provisions arising from current obligations (legal or implicit) and relating to a past event, for the fulfilment of which it is probable that an outlay of resources will be necessary, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. If the expected use of resources goes beyond the next financial year, the obligation is recorded at its present value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate that also takes into account the cost of money and the risk of the liability.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect the best current estimate; any changes in estimate are reflected in profit or loss for the period in which the change occurred.
Risks for which the occurrence of a liability is only possible are mentioned in the notes without making any provision.
Revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity and the amount can be measured reliably. Revenues are recognized net of discounts, allowances and returns.
Revenues from the distance selling division are recognized when the carrier delivers them to the customer. Revenues from the sale of wine, food products and gadgets are recognized as a single item.
The distance selling division accepts, for commercial reasons, returns from customers for distance selling under the terms of sale. In relation to this practice, the amounts invoiced at the time of shipment of the goods are adjusted by the amounts for which, even on the basis


of historical experience, it can reasonably be expected that at the reporting date not all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred. The returns thus determined are stated in profit or loss as a reduction in revenues.
Interest income is recorded in profit or loss on an accruals basis according to the effective rate of return method. These mainly refer to bank current accounts.
Public grants are recorded when there is a reasonable certainty that they can be received (this moment coincides with the formal resolution of the public bodies granting them) and all the requirements of the conditions for obtaining them have been met.
Revenues from public grants are recognized in profit or loss based on the costs for which they were granted.
The distribution of dividends to shareholders, if resolved, generates a debt at the time of approval by the Shareholders' Meeting.
Selling and marketing expenses are recognized in profit or loss at the time they are incurred or the service is rendered.
Costs for promotional campaigns, mailings or other means are charged at the time of shipment of the material.
Non-capitalizable research and development costs, consisting solely of personnel costs, are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Interest expense is recognized on an accruals basis, based on the amount financed and the effective interest rate applicable.

Taxes for the period represent the sum of current and deferred taxes.

Current taxes are based on the taxable income for the period. Taxable income differs from the result reported in profit or loss in that it excludes positive and negative components that will be taxable or deductible in other years and also excludes items that will never be taxable or deductible. Current tax liabilities are calculated using the rates in force at the reporting date, or if known, those that will be in force at the time the asset is realized or the liability is extinguished.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the taxes that are expected to be paid or recovered on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and the corresponding tax value used in the calculation of taxable income, accounted for using the full liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be taxable results in the future that will allow the use of deductible temporary differences. These assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or the from initial recognition (not in business combination transactions) of other assets or liabilities in transactions that have no influence on either the accounting result or the taxable result. The tax benefit deriving from the carryforward of tax losses is recognized when and to the extent that it is considered probable that future taxable income will be available against which these losses can be used.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will exist to permit the recovery of all or part of those assets.
Deferred taxes are calculated based on the tax rate that is expected to be in force when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred taxes are charged directly to profit or loss, with the exception of those relating to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related deferred taxes are also charged to equity.
This category includes equity instruments for which the Group - at the time of initial recognition or at the time of transition - has exercised the irrevocable option to present the profits and losses deriving from fair value changes in shareholders' equity (FVOCI). These are classified as non-current assets under "Other financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income".
These are initially recognized at fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition.


They are subsequently measured at fair value, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in a specific equity reserve. This reserve will not be reflected in profit or loss. In the event of disposal of the financial asset, the amount suspended at equity is reclassified to retained earnings.
Dividends deriving from these financial assets are recorded in profit or loss at the time when the right to collection arises.
This valuation category comprises:
These are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized in profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
In line with the provisions of IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments are accounted for in accordance with the procedures established for hedge accounting only when:



These derivative instruments are measured at fair value.
Depending on the type of hedge, the following accounting treatments are applied:
If the hedge of a highly probable future transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts that are suspended in equity are included in the initial value of the non-financial asset or liability.
The fair value of financial instruments listed on an active market is determined on the basis of market prices at the reporting date. The reference market price for financial assets held is the current sale price (purchase price for financial liabilities).
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market is determined using various valuation techniques and assumptions based on market conditions at the reporting date. For medium and long-term liabilities, the prices of similar listed financial instruments are compared; for the other categories of financial instruments, the cash flows are discounted.
The fair value of IRSs is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows deriving from them at the reporting date. For loans, it is assumed that the nominal value, net of any adjustments made to take int account their collectability, approximates the fair value. The fair
49 |

value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is determined by discounting the cash flows from the contract at an interest rate that approximates the market rate at which the entity is financed.
In relation to financial instruments measured at fair value, the classification of these instruments based on the hierarchy of levels provided for by IFRS 13 is shown below, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining fair value. The following levels can be distinguished:
Level 1 - unadjusted quotations recognized on an active market for the assets or liabilities being measured;
Level 2 - inputs other than the quoted prices mentioned in the previous point, which are observable on the market, either directly (as in the case of prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);
Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.
There are no assets or liabilities outstanding that are measured at fair value at 30 June 2021.
The Group is mainly exposed to financial risks, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group is subject to the market risk deriving from exchange rate fluctuations, as it operates in an international setting, with transactions carried out in different currencies. Exposure to risk arises both from the geographical distribution of the business and from the various countries in which purchases are made.
Since financial debt is mainly regulated by fixed interest rates, it follows that the Group is slightly exposed to the risk of their fluctuation. The trend of interest rates is constantly monitored by the Company and depending on their changes it will be possible to evaluate the



opportunity to adequately hedge the interest rate risk. The Group is currently not hedged, considering the insignificant impact on the income statement of interest rate changes.
Derivative financial instruments (for exchange rate hedging) in relation to which it is not possible to identify an active market, are recorded at fair value and are included in the items of financial assets and liabilities and other assets and liabilities. The relative fair value was determined using valuation methods based on market data, in particular by using specific pricing models recognized by the market.
Credit risk is the Group's exposure to potential losses that may result from the failure to meet obligations with counterparts.
The receivables recorded essentially comprise receivables from final consumers for whom the risk of nonrecovery is moderate and in any case of a minimum individual amount. The Company has instruments for the preventive control of the solvency of each customer, as well as instruments for monitoring and reminding of receivables through the analysis of collection flows, payment delays and other statistical parameters.
The Group finances its activities both through the cash flows generated by its operations and through the use of external sources of funding and is therefore exposed to liquidity risk, represented by the fact that its financial resources are not sufficient to meet its financial and commercial obligations in accordance with agreed terms and maturities. The Group's cash flows, borrowing requirements and liquidity are controlled by considering the maturity of financial assets (trade receivables and other financial assets) and the cash flows expected from the related transactions. The Group has both secured and unsecured credit lines, consisting of revocable short-term credit lines in the form of revolving loans, current account overdrafts and signature loans.
This risk arises from the presence in loan agreements of provisions that, if certain events were to occur, would entitle the counterparties to demand that the borrower repay immediately the loaned amounts, thereby generating liquidity risk.
In detail, following the issue of the senior bond loan, non-convertible, unsubordinated and unsecured, with a total nominal value of Euro 130,000,000, called "Italian Wine Brands S.p.A. up to Euro 130,000,000 2.5% Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes due 13 May 2027 " financial covenants have been defined based on the performance of some parameters at the Group consolidated level, the measurement of which is expected starting from 31 December 2021. The parameters defined following the full refinancing of the debt attributable to the subsidiary



Giordano Vini SpA which took place in July 2017, no longer existed following the repayment of the loan which took place on 18 June 2021
The Group neither manages nor owns vineyards and purchases the raw materials necessary for the production of wines (grapes, must and bulk wine) directly from third-party producers. The market trend of these raw materials, which are natural products, largely depends on the results of the harvests, which in turn are influenced, in quantitative and qualitative terms, by climatic, phytopathological or polluting factors. Although the Group has adopted a flexible purchasing system based on the purchase of raw materials from year to year in the main Italian wine-making regions according to harvest trends and has developed consolidated relationships with suppliers, it cannot be excluded that particularly poor harvests may lead to a significant increase in the prices of raw materials or make it more difficult to obtain grapes, musts and bulk wine in the quantities and qualities needed to sustain customer demand. Moreover, the Group's catalogue is mainly composed of DOC, DOCG and IGT wines and the negative trend in harvests could affect the Group's ability to continue to maintain a basket of products centered on wines with these characteristics. These circumstances could have a negative effect on the Group's economic and financial situation.
The accounting standards adopted are the same as those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020 except for the following new standards or amendments to existing standards, details of which are provided in the paragraphs below.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16 (Reference interest rate reform – IBOR reform – phase 2)
These amendments relate to how the impacts of replacing the current benchmark interest rates with alternative interest rates are to be managed, specifically:
o The introduction of a practical expedient for accounting for changes in the basis on which contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities are calculated;



o The introduction of some additional disclosures regarding the impacts of the reform. These amendments had no impact on the Group's financial statements.
income taxes are recognised based on the best estimate of the weighted average rate expected for the entire financial year, in line with the indications provided by IAS 34 for the preparation of interim financial statements.
The new standards or interpretations already issued, but not yet effective or not yet approved by the European Union at 30 June 2021 and therefore not applicable are indicated below. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The amendments clarify the principles to be applied for the classification of liabilities as current or non-current and specify that the classification of a liability is not affected by the likelihood that the Group will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Group's intention to liquidate in the short term does not impact the classification. These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2023, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use These amendments prohibit the deduction of proceeds from selling items from property, plant and equipment while the item is being prepared for its intended use. The proceeds from the sale of the products, and the related cost of production, must be recognised in profit or loss. These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2022, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
53 | CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2021
.

These amendments specify the costs to be taken into account when assessing onerous contracts and specify that the "directly related costs" approach must be applied.
These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2022, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
These amendments are limited to certain standards (IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and illustrative examples of IFRS 16 Leases) which clarify the wording or correct omissions or conflicts between IFRS standards. These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2022, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
These amendments provide guidance for applying materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures in a way that is more useful; specifically:
• the obligation to indicate the "significant" accounting policies has been replaced with the obligation to indicate the "material" ones;
• guidance has been added on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
In assessing the materiality of accounting policy disclosures, entities should consider both the size of the transactions, other events or conditions, and their nature.
These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2023, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.

These amendments introduce a new definition of "accounting estimates," particularly in terms of the difference between accounting estimates and accounting policies and provide guidance on determining whether changes should be treated as changes in estimates, changes in accounting principles, or errors.
These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2023, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. At the current valuation stage, no impact on the classification of financial liabilities is expected as a result of these amendments.
These amendments extend by one year the option to introduce optional accounting for lessees in the event of permanent(rental holidays) or temporary rent reductions linked to Covid-19.
Lessees may choose to account for rent reductions as variable lease payments recognised directly in profit or loss for the period in which the reduction applies or treat them as a modification of the lease agreement with the resulting obligation to remeasure the lease liability based on the revised consideration using a revised discount rate. This option is applicable to reductions in lease payments for which payment is due on or before 30 June 2022. The amendment, in force since 1 April 2021, has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
These amendments eliminate the possibility of not recognising deferred taxes upon initial recognition of transactions that give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences (e.g., lease agreements).
These amendments also clarify that when lease payments are deductible for tax purposes, it is a matter of judgment (after considering applicable tax law) whether such deductions are attributable for tax purposes to the lease liability recorded on the balance sheet or to the related right-of-use. If tax deductions are attributed to the right-of-use, the tax bases of the right-of-use and lease liability are the same as their carrying amounts, and no temporary differences arise upon initial recognition. However, if tax deductions are attributed to the lease liability, the tax values of the right-of-use and lease liability are nil, giving rise to taxable and


deductible temporary differences, respectively. Even if the gross temporary differences are equal, a deferred tax liability and a deferred tax asset must still be recognised.
These amendments, which will take effect on 1 January 2023, have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. Impacts on the Group's financial statements following these amendments are currently being analysed.

The item "Trademarks and patents" indicated consists of the trademark Giordano Vini, consisting of the value resulting from the merger of Ferdinando Giordano S.p.A. into Giordano Vini S.p.A. (formerly Alpha S.r.l.) carried out in previous years. Also included are the trademarks owned by Provinco Italia S.p.A., amounting to €8,586 thousand, valued at the time of allocation of the purchase price in accordance with IFRS 3.
These trademarks are identified as having an indefinite useful life and, consequently, are not amortized but tested for impairment annually, as is the case for goodwill. The carrying amount is unchanged from that of the Consolidated Annual Financial Report at 31 December 2020 in line with that used for the purposes of goodwill, for which reference should be made to the next paragraph.



The increases in first half 2021 are mainly related to the following development concerning the company Giordano Vini S.p.A.:
Total goodwill - equal to €68,309 thousand - derives from the following business combinations: Provinco Italia S.p.A. for €11,289 thousand; Giordano Vini S.p.A. for €43,719 thousand; Pro.Di.Ve. S.r.l. for €447 thousand; Raphael Dal Bo AG for €12,854 thousand, the latter in March 2020.
The value in use corresponds to the present value of the future cash flows that are expected to be associated with the CGUs, identified as being congruent with the legal entities, Giordano Vini S.p.A., Provinco Italia S.p.A. and Raphael Dal Bo AG, using a rate that reflects the specific risks of the individual CGUs at the valuation date.
The key assumptions used by management are the estimate of future increases in sales, operating cash flows, the growth rate of terminal values and the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate).
It should be noted that, in the absence of "impairment indicators", having also assessed the impacts of COVID-19 on the economic data of the first half of 2021 and the potential impacts on future projections, (considered limited as demonstrated by the sales trend) no interim imparment test was carried out as at 30 June 2021.
As part of the impairment test carried out for the purposes of the 2020 financial statements, no impairment losses of the related CGUs emerged.
