(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.
(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 and the fair value of financial derivative contracts.
(6) In order to calculate the indicator in question at 30 June 2021 and following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as of May 2021, the figure relating to rolling 12-month revenue was expressed pro forma taking into consideration the revenue of the SAFE&CEC Group for the other 10 months not subject to consolidation.


This Consolidated Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2021 was prepared pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 and subsequent modifications, as well as the Issuer Regulations issued by Consob.
This Consolidated Half-Yearly Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, and has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, applying the same accounting principles as adopted in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020, without prejudice to the new accounting standards applicable as of this year and described in detail below in this report.
As a partial exception to the provisions of IAS 34, this report provides detailed rather than summary tables in order to provide a clearer view of the economic-equity and financial dynamics over the six-month period. All values presented below are expressed in thousands of Euro and comparisons are made with respect to data from the corresponding period of the previous year for the economic values and with respect to the data at 31 December 2020 for the financial data, unless otherwise indicated. The explanatory notes are also presented in compliance with the information required by IAS 34 with the supplements considered useful for a clearer understanding of the half-yearly financial statements.
The first half of 2021 recorded significant growth in global automobile manufacturing compared with the same period of the previous year (+29.2%), a period that was highly influenced by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a recovery seen across all of the main geographical areas. However, manufacturing volumes remain lower than pre-crisis levels (- 12.6% at global level and -23.5% at European level). Although global economic outlooks continue to be characterised by significant uncertainty as a result of the continuing scarcity of raw materials and electronic components in the international markets, with resulting price increases and difficulties in guaranteeing manufacturing continuity, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, the positive performance of vaccination campaigns and the tax incentives introduced by a number of countries to support the automotive industry bode well for a recovery in volumes in the second half of 2021 and their consolidation already in 2022. OECD forecasts published in May 2021 indeed point to 5.8% growth in global GDP in 2021 and 4.5% growth in 2022 (+4.2% in 2021 and +4.4% in 2022 at European level and 4.5% in 2021 and +4.4% in 2022 in Italy), with the economy rebounding to levels surpassing those recorded prior to the crisis. These growth data are higher than estimates released early this year thanks to the stronger than expected recovery of the global markets and the expected improvement in economic growth as a result of Next Generation EU. The achievement of these results is in any event linked to the economic recovery of emerging countries, for which robust growth will be influenced by the performance of their respective vaccination campaigns, which are currently proceeding more slowly than those of more developed countries.
UNRAE (Association of foreign car makers operating in Italy) data relating to registrations in the first half of 2021 point to an increase compared with the same period of the previous year of 51.4% in the Italian market and 27.1% in the European market, although these data are highly influenced by the total lockdown imposed by the respective governments in the first half of 2020. The comparison with the first half of 2019 instead shows a 18.2% decline in the Italian market and a 23.0% decrease in the European market, confirming that the market has not yet surpassed pre-COVID levels. Gas mobility is still confirmed as a valid alternative for the achievement of "greener" and more sustainable mobility. Indeed, roughly 9% of total vehicle registrations in Italy are for vehicles with gas (CNG and LPG) engines. Electric (full electric and hybrid) vehicles are continuing to increase in popularity, and today represent roughly 30% of registrations.

To further confirm the increasing interest in gas mobility, there has been consistent growth in CNG stations (roughly 4,000) and LNG stations (now roughly 400) in Europe, with outlooks of further growth by the end of 2030 (10,000 CNG and 2,000 LNG stations estimated), and in emerging countries, where gas mobility represents an accessible option for more sustainable mobility.
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan ("NRRP") recently approved by the Italian government also placed additional attention on green revolution and ecological transition objectives, with a specific focus on the growth of production at Italian level of "green" hydrogen and its use in the industrial and transport sectors.
Within this context, in April 2021 Landi Renzo S.p.A. entered into an agreement with Clean Energy Fuels Corp to amend the shareholders' agreements, intended to provide Landi Renzo S.p.A. with additional decision-making and control autonomy over the SAFE&CEC Group, which designs and manufactures compressors for the processing and distribution of gas (CNG - Compressed Natural Gas and Biomethane, RNG – Renewable Natural Gas and Hydrogen) and is also active in the Oil&Gas market. The SAFE&CEC Group, previously classified as a "joint venture" pursuant to the international accounting standards (IFRS 11) and consolidated at equity, has been consolidated line-by-line since May 2021, as Landi Renzo S.p.A. has now acquired control over it pursuant to the international accounting standards (IFRS 10). This increased decision-making and control autonomy will make it possible to expand the Landi Renzo Group's role within the energy transition process, in terms of both solutions and services, from the production to the distribution of natural gas, biomethane and hydrogen, to applications on-board vehicles.
It is also worth mentioning the positive performance of the indian joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo consolidated with equity method, which in the first half of 2021 significantly boosted its sales volumes to a major Indian OEM customer, recording revenue of Euro 9 million and EBITDA of Euro 1.5 million. India has been confirmed as one of the countries in which gas mobility, both in the passenger car segment and in the Mid and Heavy Duty segment, will develop at a more sustained pace due to the increasing interest of the Indian government in the development of sustainable natural gas-based mobility in that country. Within this context, Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Mahindra & Mahindra have entered into an agreement for a pilot project for the application of new injectors and mono-fuel control units developed by Landi Renzo in the LCVs (Light Commercial Vehicles) and Mid-Heavy Duty vehicles of Mahindra & Mahindra, starting with the "Bolero" LCV model.
As regards preventing the spread of the pandemic and protecting workers, the management continues to monitor the situation and is promptly taking all of the necessary countermeasures to protect the health of its workers both in Italy and abroad. Indeed, employees are continuing to be provided with personal protection equipment, travel continues to be limited (both in Italy and abroad), and periodic sanitisation is carried out at the offices as well as the production plants. Internal and conduct procedures aimed at guaranteeing social distancing are also constantly monitored and updated based on pandemic trends. Furthermore, dedicated insurance policies were taken out to further protect any workers infected by COVID-19 in the workplace. Considering the Group's technological and innovative bent, in order to reduce to a minimum any possibility of contact between workers, recourse to telecommuting (called "smart working" in Italy) continues to be favoured when possible.
In particular, our research and development team, as already took place during the lockdown period thanks to the simulation software based on forecasting models developed internally, was able to continue its new product development activities irrespective of the restrictions imposed by the government to limit the pandemic. Research and development activities therefore saw the continuation of projects started in the previous year as well as the launch of new initiatives, namely:

The "Clean Tech Solutions" segment was the subject in 2017 of a strategic aggregation with Clean Energy Fuels Corp, the aim of which was to create the world's second-largest group in the segment, in terms of business volume. The aggregation was based on the establishment of a newco called SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and subsequent contribution of 100% of SAFE S.p.A. by the Landi Renzo Group and 100% of Clean Energy Compressor Ltd (now "IMW Industries Ltd") by Clean Energy Fuels Corp. In accordance with the contractually required governance system, which reflected the joint control agreement between the two shareholders, the Landi Renzo Group's equity investment was classified until April 2021 as a "joint venture" pursuant to international accounting standards (IFRS 11) and consolidated via the equity method.
As described above, in April 2021, Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Clean Energy Fuels Corp entered into an agreement to amend the shareholders' agreements of the investee company SAFE&CEC S.r.l., which provided Landi Renzo S.p.A. with greater decision-making autonomy, permitting it to exercise control over SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and resulting in its lineby-line consolidation as of May 2021, as the relative control requirements were met on the basis of the international accounting standards (IFRS 10).
The consolidated financial performance as at 30 June 2021 is not therefore directly comparable with that of the same period of the previous year due to the line-by-line consolidation as of May 2021 of the results of the SAFE&CEC Group.
The following table shows the evolution of the main economic performance indicators for the first half of 2021 compared with the first half of 2020.

Consolidated revenues for the first half of 2021 totalled Euro 95,962 thousand, increasing by Euro 36,105 thousand (+60.3%) compared with the same period of the previous year. On a like-for-like basis, or considering only the Automotive segment, consolidated revenues as at 30 June 2021 would have totalled Euro 77,021 thousand, increasing by Euro 17,164 thousand (+28.7%) compared with 30 June 2020 (Euro 59,857 thousand).
Costs of raw materials, consumables and goods and changes in inventories increased overall to Euro 59,643 thousand at 30 June 2021 from Euro 33,074 thousand at 30 June 2020, influenced by the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as well as the international increase in prices of raw materials, particularly electronic components.
The costs of services and use of third-party assets amounted to Euro 17,841 thousand, compared with Euro 13,537 thousand in the first six months of the previous year. Net of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, these costs increased less than proportionately with respect to revenue growth, thanks to the actions taken by the management to limit them. Costs for services and use of third party assets as at 30 June 2021 are inclusive of non-recurring expenses relating to strategic consulting (Euro 455 thousand) and costs incurred by the company to deal with the COVID-19 emergency (Euro 61 thousand), particularly relating to expenses for sanitising the workplace.
Personnel costs went from Euro 11,305 thousand as at 30 June 2020 to Euro 14,436 thousand as at 30 June 2021 (of which Euro 400 thousand in non-recurring costs linked to voluntary retirement incentives and medium/long-term bonuses). Net of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, personnel costs would have been up by 8% compared with the same period of the previous year following the greater recourse made to temporary labour, which was required to handle the production peaks linked to the increase in orders seen in the second quarter. The Group had a total of 870 employees, including 326 relating to the SAFE&CEC Group. 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 mobility, capitalised when they meet the requirements laid out in IAS 38.

Provisions, provision for bad debts and other operating expenses of Euro 1,354 thousand (Euro 967 thousand as at 30 June 2020) rose due to the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as well as higher product warranty provisions directly linked to revenue trends.
The adjusted Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) was Euro 4,478 thousand as at 30 June 2021, compared with Euro 1,852 thousand in the same period of the previous year, while the Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) was Euro 3,562 thousand (Euro 1,038 thousand as at 30 June 2020), inclusive of non-recurring costs of Euro 916 thousand (Euro 814 thousand as at 30 June 2020).

The Net Operating Profit (EBIT) for the period was negative at Euro 3,514 thousand (negative and equal to Euro 5,070 thousand at 30 June 2020), after accounting for amortisation, depreciation and impairment of Euro 7,076 thousand (Euro 6,108 thousand at 30 June 2020), of which Euro 1,244 thousand due to the application of IFRS - 16 Leases (Euro 1,037 thousand at 30 June 2020).
Total financial expenses (interest income, interest charges and exchange rate differences) amounted to Euro 2,446 thousand (Euro 2,564 thousand as at 30 June 2020) and include negative exchange effects of Euro 595 thousand (negative and equal to Euro 1,211 thousand as at 30 June 2020), primarily from valuation. Financial expenses alone, equal to Euro 1,937 thousand, were up compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 1,534 thousand) following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as well as due to the fact that Landi Renzo S.p.A. took out a medium/long-term loan in July 2020 from a pool of banks backed by the 90% SACE guarantee for a nominal amount of Euro 21 million, which has a duration of six years, of which two years of pre-amortisation, intended to cover the Group's financial commitments.
Income from investments is linked to the acquisition of control over the SAFE&CEC Group, operating in the Clean Tech Solutions segment. Pursuant to IFRS 3, the Landi Renzo Group's interests in that company were measured at fair value, with the resulting recognition in the income statement of income from consolidation of Euro 8,783 thousand, deriving from the difference between the above-mentioned fair value and the measurement of the equity investment in the SAFE&CEC Group, measured with the equity method at the date of acquisition of control. The fair value of the group acquired at the combination date was determined by a leading independent expert.
As at 30 June 2021, the effect of the valuation of equity investments using the equity method was a negative Euro 138 thousand (negative at Euro 305 thousand as at 30 June 2020). This includes the Group's share of the profits for the period from the Group's joint ventures, namely:

The first half of 2021 closed with positive earnings before taxes (EBT) of Euro 2,685 thousand (negative and equal to Euro 7,939 thousand at 30 June 2020).
The net result of the Group and minority interests as at 30 June 2021 showed a profit of Euro 2,058 thousand compared with a Group and minority interest loss of Euro 6,653 thousand as at 30 June 2020.
The net result of the Group for the half-year closed on 30 June 2021 was positive at Euro 1,541 thousand compared with a negative result of Euro 6,561 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
Until April 2021, the Landi Renzo Group operated directly only in the Automotive segment and indirectly in the Clean Tech Solutions segment through the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. which, in accordance with the contractual governance system, met the joint control requirements as stipulated by IFRS 11, and was consolidated according to the equity method.
Following the above-mentioned amendment of the shareholders' agreements, as of May 2021 the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and its subsidiaries have been consolidated line-by-line, as the requirements established for the acquisition of control by the international accounting standards (IFRS 10) were met.
As a result of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, the management has identified two operating segments ("Cash Generating Units" or "CGUs") in which the Landi Renzo Group operates, i.e.:

Revenues from sales in the Automotive segment as at 30 June 2021 totalled Euro 77,021 thousand, increasing by Euro 17,164 thousand (+28.7%) compared with the same period of the previous year, particularly impacted by the lockdown imposed by governments to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sales in the OEM channel, equal to Euro 35,368 thousand, represent 45.9% of the total (47.6% as at 30 June 2020) and were up significantly due to increasing orders from a major OEM customer, which is focusing on LPG bifuel engines to develop its "green" product range. The significant percentage of these sales on total revenues had effects on the Group's profit margins during the half-year, since they are characterised by lower margins than sales in the After Market channel.
Sales in the After Market channel, amounting to Euro 41,653 thousand (Euro 31,383 thousand at 30 June 2020), primarily relate to orders from distributors and authorised installers, both domestic and foreign, and rose primarily due to the recovery in several Latam. North African and Asian markets, marking a net improvement and with considerable increases in sales and orders on the rise.
A breakdown of revenues from sales in the Automotive segment by geographical area is provided below.

The Italian market, accounting for 12.7% of total revenue (16.5% in the first half of 2020) is essentially aligned with the same period of the previous year (-0.9%). After a first quarter which was particularly influenced by the resumption of contagion and the ensuing limitations on individual mobility, which triggered uncertainty in the market and the frequent deferral by consumers of vehicle conversion decisions, the second quarter marked encouraging signs of a recovery, with increasing demand for conversions. According to data of the association of foreign carmakers operating in Italy (UNRAE), registrations of gas-fueled (methane and LNG) vehicles in the Italian market continued to account for approximately 9% of total.
The rest of Europe represents 54.1% of total sales (53.3% in the first half of 2020) and is up 30.7% thanks primarily to growing orders from a major OEM customer, which is basing the development of its "green" product line on LPG bifuel engines. The deferral of significant orders expected in the first quarter by that customer, as a result of issues identified in the international markets for the procurement of raw materials and components, with resulting production interruptions, was partially recovered during the second quarter.
Sales in the first six months of 2021 on the American continent, amounting to Euro 8,691 thousand (Euro 6,862 thousand at 30 June 2020), marked an increase of 26.7% thanks to the positive performance of the Latam area which, despite delays in vaccination campaigns, has showed important signs of a recovery.
The Asian and Rest of the World markets, amounting to 22% of total revenue (18.7% in the first six months of 2020) rose by 50.1% thanks to the positive performance of the North African and Asian markets .

In the first six months of 2021, the adjusted Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) of the Automotive segment, net of nonrecurring costs of Euro 750 thousand, was positive at Euro 1,741 thousand, equivalent to 2.3% of revenues, down compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 1,852 thousand and equal to 3.1% of revenues and net of non-recurring costs of Euro 814 thousand).
The considerable recovery in sales in the OEM channel, with increasing orders by a major OEM customer which is focusing on LPG bifuel engines to develop its "green" product range, had a significant effect on EBITDA for the period, given the generally lower margins of that channel compared with the After Market channel. On the other hand, there was a positive contribution from the After Market channel which, despite increasing price competition, is showing a significant recovery in the Latam, North African and Asian markets, with considerable increases in sales and orders on the rise.
Despite the initiatives undertaken by the management to limit and monitor costs, margins in any event continue to be significantly impacted by the international increase in raw material prices.

In the first half of 2021, the Clean Tech Solutions segment recorded Revenue of Euro 42,589 thousand, up by 34% compared with the same period of the previous year (Euro 31,773 thousand), confirming the growing interest in gas mobility on the part of many countries, which are strengthening their distribution networks.
Despite the negative effects on the international economy of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SAFE&CEC Group continues to present improving results and an order portfolio capable of covering the entire second half of 2021 and the first quarter of next year. The SAFE&CEC Group has won important contracts, including a contract for the supply and assembly of more than 150 compressors in Egypt for the companies Gastech (Egyptian International Gas Technology) and NGVC (Natural Gas Vehicles Company). This contract is associated with the ambitious natural gas mobility transformation plan launched by the Egyptian government, with significant investments in the country's infrastructural network and with a view to transforming the majority of the fleet on the road to CNG, including Passenger Cars as well as local public transport and heavy duty transport.

Net operating capital at the end of the period stood at Euro 44,580 thousand. This is an increase of Euro 26,853 thousand compared with the same figure at 31 December 2020, primarily attributable to the SAFE&CEC Group consolidation. In terms of percentages on rolling turnover, there was an decrease in this figure, from 18.9% as at 31 December 2020 to the current 17.8% (24.7% as at 30 June 2020).
Trade receivables stood at Euro 58,872 thousand (of which Euro 18,401 thousand relating to the Clean Tech Solutions segment), an increase compared with 31 December 2020 (Euro 39,353 thousand). The analyses performed did not bring to light relevant critical issues in terms of Group customer solvency. At 30 June 2021, derecognised receivables disposed through maturity factoring stood at Euro 16.9 million (Euro 11.7 million at 31 December 2020).
Trade payables are up by Euro 28,086 thousand from Euro 53,509 thousand as at 31 December 2020 to Euro 81,595 thousand as at 30 June 2021 (of which Euro 25,712 thousand relating to the Clean Tech Solutions segment).
Inventories, amounting to Euro 80,409 thousand (Euro 42,009 thousand as at 31 December 2020), rose due to the above-mentioned consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group (Euro 32,518 thousand as at 30 June 2021), also due to the significant acquisitions made by the Parent Company in electronic components and other strategic components, in order to handle the current procurement difficulties linked to the shortage of raw materials in the market and intended to guarantee production continuity. As at 30 June 2021, inventories are inclusive of contract work in progress of the Clean Tech Solutions segment of Euro 19,195 thousand.
Fixed capital, amounting to Euro 124,725 thousand and inclusive of Euro 10,273 thousand for right-of-use assets recognised pursuant to IFRS 16 - Leases, increased as a result of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, which also resulted in the recognition of goodwill of Euro 25,393 thousand.
As at 30 June 2021, TFR (employee severance indemnity) and other provisions of Euro 7,584 thousand rose following the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group.
Net invested capital (Euro 161,721 thousand, equal to 65.4% of pro-forma rolling turnover) is up compared with 31 December 2020 (Euro 129,231 thousand, equal to 90.7% of rolling turnover) following the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group.

The Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 is equal to Euro 99,554 thousand (Euro 72,917 thousand as at 31 December 2020), of which Euro 11,108 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 - Leases and Euro 283 thousand due to the fair value of derivative financial instruments. Without considering the effects arising from the adoption of this accounting standard and the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 would have been equal to Euro 88,163 thousand, of which Euro 7,967 thousand linked to the Clean Tech Solutions segment.
The Net financial position of the Automotive segment, amounting to Euro 80,196 thousand, is aligned with the previous quarter, but up by Euro 12,836 thousand compared with 31 December 2020, especially following the increase in operating capital and investments for the period.
Given the continuation of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, triggering instability in the international economic and financial system, the management has continued to focus specifically on the financial position, and particularly on short/medium-term and long-term cash outlooks.
The following table illustrates the trend in total cash flow:

| Overall cash flow | -4,472 | -10,778 | -7,705 | -16,078 |

In the first half of 2021, cash absorption amounted to Euro 4.5 million (absorption of Euro 16.1 million in the first half of 2020), primarily linked to the growth in operating capital, particularly in light of higher inventories, with ensuing effects on the Group's operating cash flows.
The net free cash flow for the period was a negative Euro 3.1 million, of which a negative Euro 2.3 million generated by net operations, and a negative Euro 0.8 million by net investments (inclusive for a positive Euro 3.0 million of the cash contribution deriving from the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group).
As concerns exchange effects, the significant change in the translation reserve recorded in the first half of 2021 is mainly linked to the decision to use the effective market exchange rate instead of the official rate for the translation of the economic and financial data of one of our non-strategic subsidiaries. This decision is linked to the fact that the official exchange rate is now applicable only to transactions on essential goods, which does not include the Group's products, and therefore it is now inadequate to provide a true and fair view of the Group's profit and loss, financial position and cash flows. As a result, in order to translate the balances in foreign currency, the exchange rate reported by the Central Bank of the reference country was adopted, which is not the same as the official rate, as the financial transactions in foreign currency of our subsidiary are now carried out exclusively on the basis of that exchange rate, defined on a daily basis by the above-mentioned central bank.
Investments in property, plant, machinery and other equipment totalled Euro 1,695 thousand (Euro 2,738 thousand as at 30 June 2020) and refer to the investments made by the Group in the new production lines and moulds required to launch new products and to cover the increasing orders from a leading OEM customer.
The increase in intangible assets amounted to Euro 2,549 thousand (Euro 3,247 thousand at 30 June 2020) and mainly related 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 and Hydrogen mobility segments, which meet the requirements of IAS 38 for recognition as balance sheet assets.
In the first half of 2021, Landi Renzo S.p.A. generated revenues of Euro 61,039 thousand compared with Euro 44,566 thousand in the same period of the prior year (not inclusive of the contribution of the Lovato Gas merger occurred in the second half of 2020). EBITDA totalled Euro 499 thousand (inclusive of Euro 674 thousand in non-recurring costs), compared with Euro 34 thousand at 30 June 2020 (inclusive of Euro 814 thousand in non-recurring costs), while the net financial position was Euro -86,191 thousand (Euro -82,487 thousand, net of the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16 and the fair value of financial derivative contracts) compared with Euro -78,971 thousand at 31 December 2020 (Euro -74,041 thousand, net of the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16 and the fair value of financial derivative contracts).
At the end of the six-month period, the Parent Company's workforce numbered 303 employees, basically in line with 31 December 2020 (318).

The following is a reconciliation statement between the results for the period and the capital and reserves of the Group with the corresponding values of the Parent Company.

| Group equity and minority interests at 30 June 2021 (thousands of Euro) | 62,167 |
| Number of shares representing the share capital | 112,500,000 |
The share capital is made up of 112,500,000 shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.10 per share, for a total of Euro 11,250,000.00.

The Group is exposed to various risks associated with its activities, primarily in relation to the following types:
As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on market trends, particularly the Automotive segment,

the management continues to carefully monitor the financial position and short/medium and long-term cash projections.
As at 30 June 2021, all credit institutions underwriting the loans issued waiver letters with respect to the financial covenants as at 30 June 2021.
The Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2021 does not include all the information on the management of the abovementioned risks required for the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report prepared for the year ended 31 December 2020.
In the first half of 2021, the Landi Renzo Group closely monitored the evolution of the resumption in contagion in order to face and prevent the issues generated by its continuation at global level. The management has been paying particularly close attention to the financial position and short/medium and long-term cash forecasts. Thanks to the loan taken out by Landi Renzo S.p.A. in July 2020 from a pool of banks for a nominal amount of Euro 21 million, the Group has consolidated its financial structure, which allowed for the achievement of business objectives in the short and medium term. This loan, 90% backed by the SACE guarantee, has a duration of six years, of which two years of preamortisation. The management's initiatives to reduce labour costs, also thanks to recourse to social safety nets, and limit non-essential costs, as well as postpone non-strategic investments also continued.
As regards credit risk, please note that the Landi Renzo Group operates in both the OEM and After Market channels. The OEM channel is represented by major automotive manufacturers with high credit standing, which substantially respected the commercial due dates established. The After Market channel, instead including distributors and workshops, was more impacted by the effects of the pandemic, with a heavy drop in the number of conversions. This entailed, to a different extent depending on geographical area, a slowdown in collections and the need for careful and continuous monitoring of the situation by the management. The analyses performed did not in any event bring to light relevant critical issues in terms of Group customer solvency, also given the progressive resumption in economic activities in many countries, thanks to the positive effects of their vaccination campaigns.
As concerns the supply chain, in the first half of 2021 evident difficulties emerged in the international markets due to the shortage of raw materials and certain types of components. The Group therefore made significant financial efforts to purchase electronic materials and strategic components in the first half of the year in order to guarantee production continuity in the upcoming months.
The international economic context is continuing to have an effect on the Group's results. Indeed, the first half of 2021 closed with revenues from sales of Euro 95,962 thousand, inclusive of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group as of May 2021. Net of this effect, the Landi Renzo Group's revenue relating only to the Automotive operating segment in any event recorded an increase of 28.7% compared with the same period of the previous year, rising from Euro 59,857 thousand at 30 June 2020 to Euro 77,021 thousand at 30 June 2021.
The Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 is equal to Euro 99,554 thousand (Euro 72,917 thousand as at 31 December 2020), of which Euro 11,108 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 - Leases and Euro 283 thousand due to the fair value of derivative financial instruments. Without considering the effects arising from the adoption of this accounting standard and the fair value of derivative financial instruments, the Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 would have been equal to Euro 88,163 thousand.

The Group is continuing to constantly evaluate the impacts of the pandemic on the economic and financial results, ready to enact, aside from what has already been done, any additional actions intended to preserve the Group's profitability and financial position, responding as quickly as possible to constantly evolving scenarios.
The creditor/debtor relationships and economic transactions with related companies are the subject of a specific analysis in the explanatory notes to which you are referred. It should also be noted that sales and purchases between the parties are not classed as atypical or unusual since they fall within the regular operations of the Group companies and they are conducted at regular market rates.
Regarding relationships with the parent company Girefin S.p.A., the Directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A. do not consider it exercises the administration and coordination activities envisaged by Article 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, because:
As of today, there have been no changes with regards to the conditions indicated above.
With reference to transactions with related parties, please also note the above-mentioned agreement to amend the shareholders' agreements entered into by Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Clean Energy Fuels Corp intended to provide Landi Renzo S.p.A. with greater decision-making and control autonomy over the SAFE&CEC Group. This transaction resulted in the line-by-line consolidation of the subsidiary as of May 2021. The effects of that consolidation are described in the various sections of this half-yearly financial report, and the dedicated paragraph relating to transactions with related parties illustrates the transactions with the SAFE&CEC Group limited to the first four months of 2021.
Finally, in accordance with Consob Regulation 17221/2010, and pursuant to Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors has adopted the specific procedure for transactions with related parties. On 30 June 2021, the Board of Directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A. approved the update of procedures relating to transactions with related parties in order to align them with Consob Resolution no. 21624 of 10/12/2020. The new procedures entered into force as of 1 July 2021 and are also published on the Company's website.
Pursuant to Consob communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006, note that during the half-year, except for the line-byline consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, no atypical and/or unusual transactions occurred outside the normal operation of the company that could give rise to doubts regarding the correctness and completeness of the information in the financial statements, conflicts of interest, protection of company assets and safeguarding of minority shareholders.

In compliance with the provisions of Article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, it is confirmed that during 2020 and the first half of 2021, the Parent Company did not negotiate any treasury shares or shares of parent companies and does not at present hold any treasury shares or shares of parent companies.
Under Article 3 of Consob Resolution no. 18079 of 20 January 2012, Landi Renzo S.p.A. decided to adopt the opt-out system envisaged by Articles 70, par. 8, and 71, par. 1-bis of Consob Regulation no. 11971/99 (as amended). It is therefore able to opt out from the disclosure of the information documents listed in Annex 3B to the Consob Regulation, on occasion of significant mergers, demergers, increases in capital through contribution of goods in kind, acquisitions and disposals.
No sub-offices were established.

The following events occurred after the end fo the first six months of 2021 and up to today's date:
The agreed purchase price for 100% of the share capital of Metatron is Euro 26.7 million and will be subject to adjustment mechanisms on the basis of the consolidated net financial position of Metatron as at 31 July 2021. The price will be paid in multiple tranches in cash. Landi Renzo S.p.A. also has the right to pay part of the price to ITG (and to another minority shareholder), in any event for a portion not to exceed a total of 29.17% of the price of the Metatron shares, through the issue of new Landi Renzo ordinary shares to be carried out through a possible share capital increase reserved to those sellers, to be subscribed through the contribution in kind of Metatron shares.
The acquisition of Metatron represents a strategic transaction for the Landi Renzo Group, which thus will be able to further consolidate its presence in the Mid & Heavy Duty segment, which is one of the most interested in alternative hydrogen, CNG, biomethane and LNG fuel forms, with volumes expected to grow significantly over the coming years. Indeed, Metatron is a leader in the supply of components for gas and hydrogen Mid & Heavy Duty mobility, in both Europe and China, where it serves the main segment operators based on wellestablished relationships.
The transaction will allow for significant synergies between the two companies, both in terms of cost (estimated at roughly Euro 4.7 million full year starting from 2022) and investments (estimated at around Euro 5 million in the 2022-2023 two-year period), enabling the Landi Renzo Group to complete its offer of components for the gas and hydrogen Mid & Heavy Duty segment.
The persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the current shortage of raw materials and electronic components on the market, with the ensuing price increases and the risk of production halts, have led the automotive sector to report lowerthan-expected results. As a consequence, the management has revised its 2021 guidance, forecasting a total of Euro 230 million revenues for Landi Renzo Group, of which Euro 170 million in the automotive sector and Euro 60 million in the Clean Tech Solutions sector (in the MayDecember 2021 period), and total adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of Euro 17 million to Euro 20 million, of which Euro 10 million to Euro 12 million relating to the automotive sector and Euro 7 million to Euro 8 million to the Clean Tech Solutions sector (in the May-December 2021 period). With regard to the Clean Tech Solutions sector, on a full-year basis the Group confirms the revenues and margins forecasts announced upon publishing the results at December 31, 2020, i.e., a value of production in the range of Euro 85 million to Euro 90 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin between Euro 8 million and Euro 9 million.

With reference to the investee Metatron, as a proof of the growing interest in CNG and hydrogen solutions for the Heavy-Duty segment, forecasts for full-year 2021 (on a yearly basis) call for Euro 25 million revenues.

The Landi Renzo Group (also "the Group") has been active in the motor propulsion fuel supply system sector for more than sixty years: designing, producing, installing and selling environmentally-friendly LPG and CNG fuel supply systems ("Automotive" segment), and compressors for fuel stations through the SAFE and IMW trademarks (Clean Tech Solutions segment). In the Automotive segment, the Group manages all phases of the process that leads to the production and sale of automotive fuel supply systems; it sells both to the main automobile manufacturers at a world-wide level (OEM channel) and to independent retailers and importers (After Market channel).
Until April 2021, the Landi Renzo Group operated directly only in the Automotive segment and indirectly in the Clean Tech Solutions segment through the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. which, in accordance with the contractual governance system, met the joint control requirements as stipulated by IFRS 11, and was consolidated according to the equity method. Following the amendment of the shareholders' agreements, as of May 2021 the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and its subsidiaries have been consolidated line-by-line, as the requirements established by the international accounting standards (IFRS 10) were met. As a result, the consolidation area has changed compared with 31 December 2020 following the line-by-line consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, consisting of the parent holding company SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and its subsidiaries SAFE S.p.A. (Italy), IMW Industries LTD (Canada), IMW Industries Ltda (Colombia), IMW Industries del Perù S.A.C. (Peru), IMW Industries LTD Shanghai (China) and IMW Energy Tech. Ltd (China).
The Parent Company of the Landi Renzo Group is Landi Renzo S.p.A. with registered office in Cavriago (RE), Italy, listed in the FTSE Italia STAR segment of the Milan Stock Exchange.
These Condensed Half-Yearly Consolidated Financial Statements are subject to limited auditing by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A.
The condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2021 have been prepared pursuant to Article 154-ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 "Consolidated Financial Law (Testo Unico della Finanza)", in accordance with the provisions of international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) adopted by the European Union, and, in particular, those of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". As a partial exception to the provisions of IAS 34, this report provides detailed rather than summary tables in order to provide a clearer view of the economic-equity and financial dynamics over the six-month period. The explanatory notes are also presented in compliance with the information required by IAS 34 with the supplements considered useful for a clearer understanding of the half-yearly financial statements.
The Condensed Half-Yearly Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2021, approved by the Board of Directors on 10 September 2021, must be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements at 31 December 2020.
The consolidation method for the financial statements of the group companies is specified below in these notes.

The valuation criteria used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the six months ending 30 June 2021 are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020.
In addition to the interim values of the Consolidated Income Statement and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income at 30 June 2021, the balance sheet figures for the year ending 31 December 2020 and the income statement figures at 30 June 2020 are included in the tables below for purposes of comparison.
The functional and reporting currency is the Euro. Figures in the statements and tables in these condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are in thousands of Euro, unless specified otherwise.
Like all companies in the automotive segment, in the first half of 2021 the Group continued to experience both the negative effects of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic all over the world, which continues to slow the economic recovery and generate depressive effects in terms of demand for durable goods, and the effects provoked by the scarcity of raw materials and electronic parts in the international markets. These factors of uncertainty continue to be monitored by the management in order to identify the initiatives required to mitigate the effects of this pandemic on the Group's economic and financial results.
The turnover of the Automotive segment as at 30 June 2021 is up compared with the same period of the previous year, but much lower than pre-COVID levels. Specifically, increasing pricing competition in the After Market channel and the international rise in raw material prices, in addition to the increasing impact on the total of OEM channel sales, had a significant effect on the Group's profitability in the first half of 2021. Against revenues from sales of Euro 77,021 thousand as at 30 June 2021, adjusted EBITDA amounted to Euro 1,741 thousand, equal to 2.3% of revenues, compared with Euro 1,852 thousand, equal to 3.1%, as at 30 June 2020, and in any event considerably lower than pre-crisis levels. The adjusted net financial position of the Automotive segment was up to Euro 80,160 thousand (Euro 67,360 thousand at 31 December 2020).
Within this context, the management has performed accurate analyses concerning the expected performance for the second half of 2021 for the Automotive segment, approving a new forecast that is down compared to previous estimates. The management's medium-term forecasts are also confirmed (time horizon of an additional 5 years), also supported by sector analyses carried out by a major independent advisory firm.
On the other hand, the performance of the Clean Tech Solutions segment is very positive, showing positive trends in turnover and adjusted profitability in the first half of 2021 compared with the same period of the previous year, despite the current market situation.
The management has been paying particularly close attention to the financial position and short/medium and long-term cash forecasts. From this perspective, in July 2020 Landi Renzo S.p.A. took out a new six-year loan for a nominal amount of Euro 21 million, 90% backed by the SACE guarantee, with a pre-amortisation period of two years. After signing that agreement, the Group's financial position is deemed under control.
As at 30 June 2021, all credit institutions underwriting the loans issued waiver letters with respect to the financial covenants as at 30 June 2021.
Taking into account what is described above, and particularly:

it is believed that business continuity is broadly guaranteed with reference both to the Group's financial strength and its capacity to pursue its business strategies. As a result, the Landi Renzo Group's condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2021 were drafted on the basis of the going concern assumption.
The drafting of the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be developed based on the best assessments of the management. These estimates and assumptions are revised regularly. Should such estimates and assumptions differ from actual circumstances in the future, they will be changed.
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. 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.
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 in 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 half-yearly financial report, and concluded that this assumption is suitable as there are no doubts as to business continuity.

The accounting standards adopted in preparing the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2021 are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the previous year, with the exception of the adoption of the new accounting standards, amendments, improvements and interpretations applicable as of 1 January 2021 listed below.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description |
|---|---|
| Regulation (EU) | The amendment named "COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)" |
| 2020/1434 | establishes the right for lessees to account for reductions in rent connected to COVID-19 without |
| having to analyse the contracts to evaluate whether the definition of lease modification as set | |
| forth in IFRS 16 is respected. Therefore, lessees exercising this option may account for the | |
| effects of rent reductions directly in the income statement at the effective date of the reduction. | |
| Regulation (EU) |
The amendment to IFRS 4 - Insurance contracts aims to resolve the temporary accounting |
| 2020/2097 | consequences of the mismatch between the date of entry into force of IFRS 9 and the date of |
| entry into force of the future IFRS 17. In particular, it extends the expiry date of the temporary | |
| exemption from the application of IFRS 9 to 2023 in order to align the date of entry into force of | |
| IFRS 9 with the new IFRS 17. | |
| Regulation (EU) |
Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform": phase two of the |
| 2021/25 | amendment modifies the provisions on hedge accounting in IFRS 9 and IAS 39. |
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 2022 or thereafter.
| EU endorsement regulation |
Description |
|---|---|
| 14 May 2020 | The IASB published an amendment to the following international accounting standards and |
| improvements: | |
| • IFRS 3 – Business Combinations; | |
| • IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment; | |
| • IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets | |
| • Annual Improvements 2018-2020 | |
| This amendment will come into force on 1 January 2022. |
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 |
|---|---|
| 07 May 2021 | 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. The | |
| amendments will apply as of 1 January 2023 and early application is permitted. | |
| 31 March 2021 | The IASB published an amendment named "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions 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 amendments are applicable beginning from financial | |
| statements starting on or after 1 April 2021 and early adoption is permitted. | |
| 12 February 2021 | The IASB published amendments named "Disclosure of Accounting Policies –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 amendments will | |
| apply as of 1 January 2023 and early application is permitted. | |
| 23 January 2020 | The IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements: |
| 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. | |
| These amendments will come into force on 1 January 2022. Early application is permitted. | |
| 18 May 2017 | The IASB published IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts which aims to improve understanding of the |
| exposure to risk, profitability and the financial position of insurers. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4. | |
| Early application is permitted. | |
| This standard is not applicable to the Group. | |
| 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. |
The Group is evaluating the effects that the adoption of such standards may have on its financial statements.
The preparation of the Condensed Half-Yearly Consolidated Financial Statements requires the directors to apply accounting standards and methods that are sometimes based on difficult and subjective assessments and estimates derived from past experience and based on 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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the

Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and in disclosures provided. Estimates are used in recognising goodwill, impairment of fixed assets, development costs, taxes, provisions for bad debts and inventories write-down, employee benefits and other provisions. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each variation are immediately reflected in the Income Statement.
However, some valuation processes, especially the more complex ones such as establishing any loss in value of noncurrent assets, are normally carried out to a fuller extent only during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all the necessary information is available, except for those cases in which there are impairment indicators that require an immediate assessment of possible losses in value.
The Group performs activities that do not on the whole present significant seasonal or cyclical variations in total sales over the year, except for the signing of new supply contracts for the OEM channel which may involve planned and differing delivery schedules in the individual quarters.
The financial statements in the currency of the foreign subsidiaries are converted into the accounting currency, adopting the half-year end exchange rate for the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the average exchange rate over the six months 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.
As concerns exchange effects, the significant change in the translation reserve recorded in the first half of 2021 is mainly linked to the decision to use the effective market exchange rate instead of the official rate for the translation of the economic and financial data of one of our non-strategic subsidiaries. This decision is linked to the fact that the official exchange rate is now applicable only to transactions on essential goods, which does not include the Group's products, and therefore it is now inadequate to provide a true and fair view of the Group's profit and loss, financial position and cash flows. As a result, in order to translate the balances in foreign currency, the exchange rate reported by the Central Bank of the reference country was adopted, which is not the same as the official rate, as the financial transactions in foreign currency of our subsidiary are now carried out exclusively on the basis of that exchange rate, defined on a daily basis by the above-mentioned central bank.
The following table specifies the main exchange rates used for the conversion of financial statements expressed in currencies other than the accounting currency.

The changes reported hereafter have been calculated on the balances at 31 December 2020 as regards balance sheet items and on the values of the first half of 2020 as regards income statement items.
Until April 2021, the Landi Renzo Group operated directly only in the Automotive segment and indirectly in the Clean Tech Solutions segment through the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. which, in accordance with the contractual governance system, met the joint control requirements as stipulated by IFRS 11, and was consolidated according to the equity method.
Following the amendment of the shareholders' agreements, as of May 2021 the joint venture SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and its subsidiaries have been consolidated line-by-line, as the requirements established by the international accounting standards (IFRS 10) were met.
As a result of the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group, the management has identified two operating segments ("Cash Generating Units" or "CGUs") in which the Landi Renzo Group operates, i.e.:
The Automotive 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 and hydrogen) as well as, to a lesser extent, anti-theft alarms. This segment mainly includes the Landi Renzo, 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.
Please see the "Segment Reporting" section of this Report for information by operating segment and by geographical area.

Tangible assets showed an overall net increase of Euro 715 thousand, rising from Euro 13,212 thousand at 31 December 2020 to Euro 13,927 thousand at 30 June 2021. The contribution deriving from the initial consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group was Euro 1,674 thousand.

Increases for the half-year, amounting to Euro 1,695 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.
Decreases during the half, amounting to Euro 630 thousand, relate primarily to equipment made by the Parent Company on behalf of a top OEM customer. Disposals during the period had no significant impacts on the income statement.
The item "Assets in progress and payments on account", totalling Euro 771 thousand as at 30 June 2021 (Euro 1,389 thousand as at 31 December 2020), primarily includes investments made by the Parent Company in several new work benches and moulds. 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.
The column "Other changes" includes, aside from reclassifications of assets under construction completed during the period to the relative item, the conversion differences on assets held by companies abroad.

Development costs amounted to Euro 11,165 thousand (Euro 9,506 thousand at 31 December 2020) 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. The contribution deriving from the initial consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group was Euro 2,068 thousand.
Costs capitalised in the first half of 2021 totalled Euro 2,369 thousand (Euro 2,990 thousand at 30 June 2020).
Research and development activities saw the continuation of projects started in the previous year as well as the launch of new initiatives, namely:

New development activities began during the initial months of 2021 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 abovementioned costs refer, and the relative net carrying amounts at the date of 30 June 2021, did not bring to light any impairment.
The item Goodwill totalled Euro 55,487 thousand, Euro 25,393 thousand more than at 31 December 2020 (Euro 30,094 thousand) following the acquisition of control by Landi Renzo S.p.A. of the SAFE&CEC Group, resulting in its line-byline consolidation.

In April, Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Clean Energy Fuels Corp entered into an agreement to amend the shareholders' agreements of the investee company SAFE&CEC S.r.l., operating in the "Clean Tech Solutions" segment, as approved by the Board of Directors Landi Renzo S.p.A. at its meeting held on 12 April 2021. The change in the shareholders' agreements provided Landi Renzo S.p.A. with greater decision-making autonomy, permitting it to exercise control over SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and resulting in its line-by-line consolidation pursuant to the international accounting standards (IFRS 10). The shares of the two shareholders have remained unchanged: 51% for Landi Renzo S.p.A. and 49% for Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
Pursuant to IFRS 3, the transaction was recognised as a new business combination which entailed the measurement at fair value of the Landi Renzo Group's interests in the SAFE&CEC Group, and the resulting recognition in the income statement of income from consolidation of Euro 8,783 thousand, corresponding to the difference between the abovementioned fair value and the measurement of the equity investment in the SAFE&CEC Group with the equity method as

at 30 April 2021 (the date of acquisition of control). The fair value at the combination date was determined by a leading independent expert, applying the discounted cash flows method based on 2021-2025 business plan of the SAFE&CEC Group approved by the Board of Directors. The goodwill recognised in the financial statements as at 30 June 2021, amounting to Euro 25,393 thousand, was determined as the difference between the fair value of the share held by the Landi Renzo Group in the SAFE&CEC Group (51%) and the Group's share of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities acquired. 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, given the complexity and characteristics of the transaction in question, is currently under way and is expected to be completed by the close of the financial statements as at 31 December 2021, as permitted by the same reference accounting standard mentioned above.
Please note that, as part of the transaction entailing the acquisition of control over the SAFE&CEC Group, the agreement amending the shareholders' agreements establishes that in the case of a future "liquidity event", Landi Renzo S.p.A. will recognise a variable premium to the minority shareholder based on the fair value of the investment at the date of that event. On the basis of the information available to date, the Landi Renzo management does not consider the occurrence of any such events likely in the short term and therefore, as these events are under the control of the shareholder, the relative payable was not recognised in this consolidated half-yearly report in compliance with the reference international accounting standards.

With reference to the goodwill recognised for the acquisition of assets in the Clean Tech Solutions segments, please note that, considering the performance of the SAFE&CEC Group as at 30 June 2021 and short/medium-term forecasts, there are no indicators of impairment.
As concerns the goodwill of the Automotive segment, as required by IAS 36, the Group evaluated the possible existence of impairment indicators with reference to the financial statements closed as at 30 June 2021, especially considering the continuation of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the slower than expected economic recovery. The management has prepared a new Automotive segment forecast for the year 2021 that is down compared to previous estimates. Supported by the analyses performed by a leading advisory firm, on both the reference segment and the Landi Renzo Group, the management did not believe that the requirements were met for a revision of forecasts for 2022 and thereafter, as they are basically still considered current and achievable. Considering the foregoing, a sensitivity analysis was prepared on the economic/financial plan used for the impairment test as at 31 December 2020, which also included the reduction of the above-mentioned forecasts of expected results for the year 2021 and did not bring to light any indicators of impairment.
The stock market capitalisation value of Landi Renzo S.p.A. at 30 June 2021 amounted to Euro 107 million, and is significantly higher than the value of the consolidated shareholders' equity at the same date.

Net deferred tax assets, totalling Euro 12,768 thousand (Euro 12,201 thousand at 31 December 2020), related to both temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and the corresponding tax values recognised, and to the losses from the national tax consolidation scheme deemed to be recoverable on the basis of the company plans, the realisation of which is subject to the intrinsic risk of non-implementation inherent in its provisions. The net contribution deriving from the initial consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group was Euro 136 thousand.
During the drafting of the financial statements as at 31 December 2020, the management, assisted by its tax advisors, prepared an analysis based on the forecasts of the new 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2020, aimed at verifying the recoverability of deferred tax assets and which did not bring to light any issues

linked to the recoverability of the deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements. On the basis of the sensitivity analysis performed by the management on this analysis following the update of the 2021 forecast, no critical issues emerged related to the recoverability of the deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements. On a prudential basis, no deferred tax assets on tax losses recognised by the Parent Company as at 30 June 2021 or on previous losses were allocated.
At 30 June 2021 offsettable deferred tax liabilities totalled Euro 2,032 thousand (Euro 1,668 thousand at 31 December 2020), with an increase of Euro 364 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.

On 29 April 2019, the Shareholders' Meeting approved, pursuant to Article 114-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98, a compensation plan named the "2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan" concerning the free assignment of the right to receive Landi Renzo S.p.A. ordinary shares free of charge (for a maximum total of 3,200,000 shares), based on the degree to which specific performance objectives are reached. 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 is for the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent Company as well as other managers, who will be identified based on their level of contribution to the business, autonomy and complexity of their position by the Board of Directors after consulting with the Remuneration Committee.
The plan aims to reward the achievement of targets for the 2019-2021 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 is recognised to the extent of the share for the year, with a contra-entry in shareholders' equity, as it was defined as equity settled based on IFRS 2.
Allocations, write-downs and other operating expenses totalled Euro 1,354 thousand (Euro 967 thousand at 30 June 2020), up primarily due to higher provisions for product warranties, directly correlated with volumes sold, as well as the consolidation of the SAFE&CEC Group.
This item breaks down as follows:
| (Thousands of Euro) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Amortisation, depreciation and impairment | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | Change |

|---|---|---|---|
Amortisation and depreciation amounted to Euro 7,076 thousand (Euro 6,108 thousand at 30 June 2020). No elements emerged from the analysis which revealed the need to change the useful lifetime of tangible and intangible assets.
Financial income totalled Euro 86 thousand (Euro 181 thousand at 30 June 2020) and refers to interest income on bank deposits.
Financial expenses at 30 June 2021 amounted to Euro 1,937 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).
The net exchange differences amounted to Euro -595 thousand (Euro -1,211 thousand at 30 June 2020), mainly due to losses from valuation deriving from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the international exchange markets. Specifically, the Group was impacted by the effects of the depreciation of Latam area currencies. At 30 June 2021, the Group did not have financial instruments hedging exchange rate risk.
Income from investments is linked to the acquisition of control over the SAFE&CEC Group, operating in the Clean Tech Solutions segment. Pursuant to IFRS 3, the Landi Renzo Group's interests in that company were measured at fair value, with the resulting recognition in the income statement of income from consolidation of Euro 8,783 thousand. The fair value at the combination date was determined by a leading independent expert.
For more details on the effects of the recognition of the transaction in question at the acquisition date, please refer to what is described in section "4.4.4. Goodwill".
This item, totalling Euro -138 thousand (a negative Euro 305 thousand as at 30 June 2020), includes the valuation using the equity method of the Group's joint ventures, namely:
of the joint venture Krishna Landi Renzo, which in the first half of 2021 significantly boosted its sales to a major Indian OEM customer, recording revenue of Euro 9 million and EBITDA of Euro 1.5 million, with a resulting revaluation of the equity investment for Euro 528 thousand (write-down of Euro 50 thousand as at 30 June 2020);

limited to the first four months of 2021, or until its line-by-line consolidation by Landi Renzo S.p.A., the SAFE&CEC Group, the result of which in the first quarter of 2021 was negatively influenced by the completion of several contracts for the North African market, characterised by lower margins, and which entailed a write-down of Euro 666 thousand (write-down of Euro 255 thousand as at 30 June 2020).
Taxes at 30 June 2021 totalled Euro -627 thousand, compared with a positive Euro 1,286 thousand at 30 June 2020. For reasons of prudence, the Parent Company did not recognise deferred tax assets against losses recorded during the half and due to the current situation of market difficulty deriving from the continuation of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The "basic" earnings/loss per share were calculated by relating the net profit/loss of the Group to the weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation in the period (112,500,000). The "basic" earnings per share, which correspond to the "diluted" earnings (loss) per share since there are no convertible bonds or other financial instruments with possible diluting effects, are Euro 0.0137. The earnings per share for the first half of 2020 were Euro -0.0583.
At 30 June 2021, the Group was involved in proceedings, brought both by and against it, for non-significant amounts.
The Landi Group deals with related parties at market conditions considered to be normal in the markets in question, taking account of the characteristics of the goods and the services supplied.
Transactions with related parties listed below include:

In relation to transactions with related parties, please also note the above-mentioned agreement to amend the shareholders' agreements entered into by Landi Renzo S.p.A. and Clean Energy Fuels Corp intended to provide Landi Renzo S.p.A. with greater decision-making and control autonomy over the SAFE&CEC Group, as described above. This transaction resulted in the line-by-line consolidation of the subsidiary as of May 2021.

To the Shareholders of Landi Renzo SpA
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Landi Renzo SpA (hereinafter also the "Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter also "Landi Renzo Group") as of 30 June 2021, comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cashflow statement and related notes. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution No. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a fullscope 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 consolidated condensed interim financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Landi Renzo Group as of 30 June 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.


Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to what is described by the Directors in the paragraph "Consolidated results as at 30 June 2021" of the Half-Yearly Financial Report as at 30 June 2021, in particular to the modification of shareholders' agreement of SAFE&CEC Srl occurred in the first half of 2021, which allowed Landi Renzo SpA to exercise the control over the aforementioned company. Consequently, as illustrated by the Directors, starting from May 2021, SAFE&CEC Srl has been consolidated using the line-by-line method and in the explanatory notes are indicated the main accounting effects on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Landi Renzo Group as of 30 June 2021 deriving from the aforementioned operation.
