INTRODUCTION

This Half-Year Financial Report as of 30 June 2021 has been prepared in accordance with Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and includes the Interim Directors' Report, the Condensed Consolidated Half-Yearly Financial Report and the Certification required by Article 154-bis of Legislative Decree 58/98.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) that are applicable pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 and in particular IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as well as measures issued implementing Article 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005. The structure and content of the reclassified consolidated financial statements contained in the Interim Directors' Report and mandatory statements included in this Report are in line with those prepared for the annual Financial Statements.

The notes have been prepared in compliance with provisions in IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, also considering the provisions of Consob in its communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006. The information in this Report is not therefore similar to the information of complete financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1.

In some cases, data could be affected by rounding off defects due to the fact that figures are represented in millions of Euros; changes and percentages are calculated from figures in thousands of Euros and not from rounded off figures in millions of Euros.

HEALTH EMERGENCY - COVID-19

During the first few months of 2021, the public health situation was still a cause for concern throughout the world. Restricting the analysis to the most significant markets for the Group, it should be noted that in Europe and in the western world, while seasonal factors and the vaccination campaign have greatly reduced infections, there is still a risk that new variants could increase the transmissibility of the virus. New variants of the virus are spreading to countries such as the UK, Israel, Australia and Vietnam, which until recently seemed on the verge of overcoming the health emergency. What is currently more concerning is the situation in India, which is suffering from the lack of a mass vaccination plan.

The key to ending the crisis worldwide appears to be rapid distribution of the vaccine among the population and its effectiveness against any new variants.

The pandemic has made the need for safe personal transport increasingly important among the population, to the detriment of public transport, which is seen as a potential vector of transmission. The Group continues to work to seize the opportunities presented by potential growth in demand, offering products that guarantee safe travel with low or no environmental impact.

Since the virus first spread, Piaggio has taken all possible precautions to guarantee the safety of its employees at its sites.

The Group continues to manage the current scenario very carefully in terms of its commercial network of distributors and dealers, and in terms of its customers, to meet its commitments and to continue to offer maximum support.

Commercial Vehicles 140.7 132.4 8.2
TOTAL NET REVENUES 901.7 600.1 301.6

In terms of consolidated turnover, the Group ended the first half of 2021 with net revenues up compared to the same period in 2020 (+50.3%). It should be noted that production and sales were shut down in the first half of last year due to the public health emergency, which affected markets in EMEA and Americas and India.

The growth related to EMEA and Americas (+60.6%) and Asia Pacific markets (+64.0%; +74.1% at constant exchange rates), while in India, still negatively impacted by the pandemic, there was a very slight decline (-0.5%; +7.8% at constant exchange rates).

As regards the type of products sold, the increase mainly referred to two-wheeler vehicles (+62.7%). Commercial Vehicles, on the other hand, saw a slight increase (+6.2%) due to the difficulties encountered on the Indian market caused by the tough economic situation of the industrial and transport sector created by the pandemic. As a result, the percentage of Commercial Vehicles accounting for overall turnover dropped from 22.1% in the first half of 2020 to the current figure of 15.6%; vice versa, the percentage of two-wheeler vehicles went up from 77.9% in the first six months of 2020 to the current figure of 84.4%.

Alternative non-GAAP performance measures

The Group's gross industrial margin increased considerably compared to the first half of the previous year (+52.6% in absolute terms), equal to 29.1% of net turnover (28.6% as of 30 June 2020). Amortisation/depreciation included in the gross industrial margin was equal to ¤17.7 million (¤16.1 million in the first half of 2020).

Operating expenses incurred in the period went up compared to the same period of the previous financial year (¤+34.6 million), amounting to ¤181.6 million. The increase is closely linked to the increase in turnover and vehicles sold.

The change in the aforementioned income statement resulted in an increase in consolidated EBITDA which was equal to ¤144.6 million (¤83.1 million in the first half of 2020). In relation to turnover, EBITDA was equal to 16.0% (13.8% in the first half of 2020).

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to ¤80.4 million, again a strong increase on the first six months of 2020; in relation to turnover, EBIT was equal to 8.9% (4.1% in the first half of 2020).

The result for financing activities recorded Net Charges amounting to ¤10.2 million (¤9.6 million as of 30 June 2020), worse than the first six months of the previous year, mainly due to the lower contribution from currency operations, which was only partially offset by the effects of a decrease in average debt.

Income taxes for the period are estimated to be ¤26.7 million, equivalent to 38% of profit before tax.

Net profit stood at ¤43.5 million (4.8% of turnover), up on the figure for the same period of the previous financial year, when it amounted to ¤9.1 million (1.5% of turnover).

STAFF

In the first half of 2021, the average workforce decreased overall. In Italy, on the other hand, the workforce grew due to the start-up of production of the New Porter NP6 light commercial vehicle and bringing forward the introduction of fixed-term contractors as a result of an increased demand.

Net working capital as of 30 June 2021, which was negative by ¤137.1 million, used cash for approximately ¤9.5 million in the first six months of 2021.

Property, plant and equipment amounted to ¤264.5 million as of 30 June 2021, registering a decrease of approximately ¤4.7 million compared to 31 December 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the sale of investment property for ¤4.6 million, the impact of the strengthening of the Indian rupee and Vietnamese dong against the euro (approximately ¤2.1 million) and depreciation, the value of which exceeded investments for the period by ¤1.2 million and disposals for ¤1.0 million.

Intangible assets totalled ¤706.3 million, up by approximately ¤10.7 million compared to 31 December 2020. This growth is mainly due to investments for the period, which exceeded amortisation by approximately ¤10.1 million, as well as the strengthening of the Indian rupee and Vietnamese dong against the euro (approximately ¤0.6 million).

Rights of use, equal to ¤33.0 million, decreased by approximately ¤0.3 million compared to figures as of 31 December 2020.

Financial assets which totalled ¤10.1 million, increased slightly compared to figures for the previous year (¤9.6 million).

Provisions totalled ¤63.1 million, down compared to 31 December 2020 (¤65.5 million).

As fully described in the next section on the "Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows", net financial debt as of 30 June 2021 was equal to ¤401.9 million, compared to ¤423.6 million as of 31 December 2020, down by approximately ¤21.8 million.

Net financial debt decreased by approximately ¤126.7 million compared to 30 June 2020.

Group shareholders' equity as of 30 June 2021 amounted to ¤411.8 million. The growth of approximately ¤39.8 million compared to 31 December 2020 was mitigated by ¤9.3 million from the payment of dividends.

ALTERNATIVE NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In accordance with Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 as amended (Consob Communication 0092543 of 3 December 2015 that enacts ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines on alternative performance measures), Piaggio, in its Report on Operations, refers to some alternative performance measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures (Non-GAAP Measures).

These are presented in order to measure the trend of the Group's operations to a better extent and should not be considered as an alternative to IFRS measures.

In particular the following alternative performance measures have been used:

  • EBITDA: defined as operating income before the amortisation/depreciation and impairment costs of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and rights of use, as resulting from the consolidated income statement;

TWO-WHEELERS

Two-wheeler vehicles can mainly be grouped into two product segments, scooters and motorcycles. In addition the two-wheeler market includes the related spare parts and accessories business, the sale of engines to third parties, involvement in main two-wheeler sports championships and technical service.

The world two-wheeler market comprises two macro areas, which clearly differ in terms of characteristics and scale of demand: economically advanced countries (Europe, United States, Japan) and emerging nations (Asia Pacific, China, India, Latin America).

In the first macro area, which is a minority segment in terms of volumes, the Piaggio Group has a historical presence, with scooters meeting the need for mobility in urban areas and motorcycles for recreational purposes.

In the second macro area, which in terms of sales, accounts for most of the world market and is the Group's target for expanding operations, two-wheeler vehicles are the primary mode of transport.

Commercial Vehicles Regulatory framework

Background

Europe

In the first six months of 2021, the European light commercial vehicles market (vehicles with a maximum mass less than or equal to 3.5 tons), in which the Piaggio Group operates, recorded sales of 1,048,439 units, increasing by 43.7% compared to the first six months of 2020 (data source ACEA). In detail, the trends of main European reference markets are as follows: France (+38.7%), Germany (+23.0%), Great Britain (+75.9%), Spain (+39.9%) and Italy (+55.8%).

India

Sales on the Indian three-wheeler market, where Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited, a subsidiary of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. operates, went down from 142,571 units in the first six months of 2020 to 109,972 units in the same period of 2021, registering a 22.9% decrease.

On this market, the fall was due entirely to the passenger vehicles segment, which recorded a drop in units (-34.9%) from 112,180 in the first six months of 2020 to 73,021 units in the first six months of 2021. The cargo segment reported an increase (+21.6%) from over 30,391 units in the first half of 2020 to 36,951 units in the first six months of 2021.

Main results

During the first six months of 2021, the Commercial Vehicles business generated a turnover of approximately ¤140.7 million, up by 6.2% compared to the same period of the previous year.

All markets in EMEA and Americas reported a positive trend (+72.3% volumes; +57.1% turnover). In particular, the Italian market benefited from the sales launch of the new Porter NP6.

The Indian region, on the other hand, recorded a decrease (-16.3%; -9.2% at constant exchange rates) following a 16.8% drop in volumes.

The Indian affiliate Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited (PVPL) sold 26,107 three-wheelers on the Indian market (36,946 in the first six months of 2020).

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

European Union

COVID-19 – European Recovery Plan

In response to the economic, health and social crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Commission proposed a massive plan of financial aid to boost recovery of the economy. To deploy the investments necessary, the Commission has launched a dual approach:

Next Generation EU, with ¤750 billion to consolidate the EU budget with new financial market loans for the 2021- 2024 period.

An EU mid-term budget for the 2021-2027 period (¤1,100 billion).

Italy is the leading beneficiary of the Next Generation EU and has decided to channel this aid into a National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) submitted to the European Commission in April 2021 and providing for ¤191.5 billion in aid, divided into six missions:

  • Digitalisation, innovation, competitiveness and culture ¤40.32 billion;
  • Green revolution and ecological transition ¤59.47 billion;
  • Infrastructure for sustainable mobility ¤25.40 billion;
  • Education and research ¤30.88 billion;
  • Inclusion and Cohesion ¤19.81 billion;
  • Health ¤15.63 billion.

To finance further interventions, the Italian Government has approved a complementary fund with resources amounting to ¤30.6 billion. Overall, the investments provided for by the NRRP and the Supplementary Fund amount to ¤222.1 billion.

Within the Plan, some ¤24 billion have been allocated to Digitalisation, innovation and competitiveness in the production system, while ¤23 billion have been allocated to Energy transition and sustainable mobility, including the Development of electric recharging infrastructures to which ¤750 million have been allocated to develop 7,500 fast-charging points on motorways and 13,755 points in urban centres.

European Green Deal

In December 2019, the European Commission presented an initial document outlining implementation lines of the "European Green Deal" programme, which is key in the political strategy to tackle climate change by achieving the following objectives: a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and climate neutrality (zero emissions) by 2050. To formalise this undertaking and turn it into law, the Commission proposed a European climate law in March 2020, an action plan for the circular economy and a just transition fund.

Emissions

With the new Regulation (EU) 2019/631 approved in April 2019, European institutions approved new limits for CO2 emissions for cars and light commercial vehicles (VTL) post-2020. An EU fleet-wide target of 147g CO2 /km for the average emissions of new light commercial vehicles (95g CO2 /km for cars) for 2030 has been confirmed, and a gradual reduction in CO2 emissions (g/Km) of 15% by 2025 and of 31% by 2030 has been decided, compared to 2021. However, the new Regulation still allows manufacturers producing less than 22,000 units a year to request an extension.

The Commission also started work on a study of future post-Euro 6 limits for cars, beginning preliminary activities in the second half of 2019 and holding consultations with stakeholders to analyse the results of the commissioned study. A Euro 7 proposal for cars is expected for the end of 2021. Any developments for cars will have inevitable consequences on the two-wheeler segment, with a proposal for post-Euro 5 for the L Category expected from the Commission by 2024.

Commercial Vehicles Regulatory framework

Battery regulations

In December 2020, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the European Commission presented a Proposal for a Regulation that aims to modernise the legislative framework for batteries, and encourage the production of batteries and accumulators that are more sustainable throughout their entire life cycle, introducing a new classification by use and specific targets to ensure recycling and reuse. There will be an obligation to use responsibly sourced materials and a restriction on the use of hazardous substances. At the same time, minimum recycled content, carbon footprint, efficiency, durability, labelling, as well as compliance with collection and recycling targets will become essential constraints for the development of a more sustainable and competitive battery industry across Europe and the world.

Sound emissions

During 2018, the European Commission started consultations on the presentation of proposed legislation for new Euro 5 noise limits. After the study published in November 2017, which had come out in favour of a drastic lowering of noise limits, the Commission requested a second study and at the same time a second cost-benefit analysis of a possible reduction in sound limits for L-category vehicles. The start of the second study requested by the European Commission on vehicle noise has been postponed and the legislative proposal by the Commission is therefore expected in 2022.

In the meantime, national institutions or local authorities have adopted various initiatives, to impose stricter limits on noise emissions, anticipating legal developments at European level.

To prevent a drastic reduction in noise limits, ACEM, the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, is working on a shared strategy of which the key focus is to revise ASEP noise test procedures bearing in mind real driving conditions. Moreover, a more holistic approach to noise has been defined, which takes into account the widespread practice of motorcyclists replacing original exhausts, necessary controls on the road, and different riding styles.

End of life of vehicles - ELV

At present the EU Directive on end of life of vehicles (ELV) does not apply to two-wheelers. Manufacturers of cars and commercial vehicles are required to meet specific targets on the recycling and reuse of materials, comply with vehicle design obligations to facilitate the recovery of components, publish a manual on dismantling and collect and be responsible for the collection and disposal of end of life vehicles. The European Commission is considering extending its scope to Category L. A possible legislative proposal could be motioned by the Commission during 2021. European manufacturers of ACEM contributed to the public consultation launched by the European Commission with a view to preparing to extend the ELV regime and calibrate it to two-wheeler requirements.

SCIP DATABASE

As of 5 January 2021, Directive (EU) 2018/851 – Waste Framework Directive – came into force. This requires all manufacturers to notify the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) of the "risk substances" contained in the items and groups of items they put on the European market. This notification is made through the SCIP Database: this toxicological database stores information on substances of very high concern (SVHC) contained in items or groups of items in quantities of more than 0.1% by weight.

General vehicle safety regulation

As regards cars and light commercial vehicles, in 2018 revision of the General Vehicle Safety Regulation (GVSR) got underway. European institutions reached an agreement on the new Regulation in April 2019. The new wording (which is still to be published in the European Journal), introduces the obligation to use new active safety devices - ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and non-ADAS for light commercial vehicles. As regards passive safety, the new GVSR extends the scope of some Regulations (including ECE94 for moderate overlap tests and ECE95 for side

Commercial Vehicles Regulatory framework

impact tests) to category N1 vehicles, previously exempt from these obligations. The Piaggio Group, together with national and international trade associations, took an active part in the negotiations held in Geneva and at European level, with a view to promoting rules for application which are not detrimental to vehicles concerned. During the WP29 (World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations) in June 2020, some technical implementing rules and specific exemptions were adopted for the frontal, side and rear crash tests of category N1 vehicles. The new ADAS regulation will come into force from July 2022 for new type-approved vehicles and from 2024 for all new vehicles produced.

Italy

Electric vehicle incentives - Category L

The 2020 Budget Law introduced a measure to renew incentives for the purchase of Category L electric vehicles (2/3 wheelers). A fund of EUR 150 million has been earmarked for the years 2021 to 2026. The conditions and requirements to use the incentives are the same as the previous campaign, with a ceiling of 30% and ¤3,000 of the list price if the previously owned vehicle is not scrapped, and 40% and ¤4,000 if the vehicle is scrapped.

Light Commercial Vehicle incentives - Category N

The 2020 Budget Law introduced an incentive for the purchase of light commercial vehicles (LCVs). Out of a total fund of ¤420 million, ¤50 million has been earmarked for LCVs, of which ¤10 million is for the purchase of 100% electric vehicles. The subsidy will be granted to anyone who buys brand new N1 commercial vehicles in Italy from 1 January 2021 until 30 June 2021. The contribution is differentiated on the basis of the vehicle's gross weight, the fuel used and the possible scrapping of a vehicle of the same category approved in a class up to Euro 4/IV.

Minimum environmental criteria - MEC

The Minister of the Environment recently signed the "Vehicles MEC" which will regulate tenders for the supply of vehicles belonging to Categories L, M and N. The Criteria will come into force 120 days after publication in the Official Journal, expected by July 2021.

India

Onboard Diagnostics (OBD-II)

For all category L5N and L5M internal combustion engine vehicles, the two-stage implementation of the OBD-II Regulation for Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) vehicles has been planned from 1 April 2023 (moved to April 2024 due to the pandemic for new products and April 2025 for existing products).

20% ethanol mix in petrol

The Indian government (Ministry of Oil and Natural Gas) has announced that from 1 April 2023, the percentage of ethanol in petrol will rise to 20%. The outlined timeline could be delayed due to the pandemic situation.

"FAME" scheme - incentives

The Indian government recently announced its intention to promote the electrification of three-wheelers and twowheelers with the aim of 30% of new registrations consisting of electric vehicles by 2025. FAME (Faster Adoption

Commercial Vehicles Regulatory framework

of Electrical Mobility), the scheme adopted by the Indian government in 2015 is part of this strategy, and aims to provide incentives for the purchase of 2, 3 and 4-wheeler electric and hybrid vehicles. In April 2019, the move to the second phase of the programme was officially announced with new funds allocated totalling \$1.4 billion (USD) and targeted incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles and the development of charging infrastructure. The scheme got a further boost in June 2021 with the increase in the subsidy structure under FAME II for two-wheelers.

Vietnam

Emissions

Since 1 January 2017, the National Technical Regulation on the Third Level of Emission of Gaseous Pollutants no. 77 issued by the Ministry of Transport in 2014 ("QCVN 77: 2014 / BGTVT") has been in force in Vietnam for new assembled, manufactured and imported two-wheeler motorcycles. This level is equivalent to the Euro 3 standard specified in the technical regulations on vehicle gas emissions of European Community. Both the current law on environmental protection and the new one, which will come into force on 1 January 2022 ('New Law on Environmental Protection'), require all transport vehicles to be certified to Vietnamese environmental regulations. However, at present, only gas emission limitation regulations for cars in circulation exist. In an attempt to reduce environmental pollution, the Vietnamese government also wants to apply gas emission limits to two-wheelers. Local governments in some large cities have worked with authorities and industry associations to test gas emissions of vehicles on the road, to be proposed to the government as a procedure to test and enforce gas emission limitation standards on vehicles.

Energy label

In order to reduce environmental pollution and ensure buyers are aware and informed, the government has introduced energy labelling for motorbikes. With Circular 59/2018/TT-BGTVT, the Ministry of Transport has regulated energy labelling for manufactured, assembled and imported motorbikes and mopeds. The energy label must be affixed to the motorbike by the manufacturer/importer/retailer and kept on the vehicle until it is delivered to the final customer.

Recycling/End-of-Life

Currently in Vietnam, the take-back and treatment of discarded products (batteries, tyres, end-of-life vehicles) is governed by Circular 34/2017/TT-BTNMT issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment ("MONRE"). According to this legislation, manufacturers, sellers and service providers are responsible for taking back and treating these discarded products by recycling them, or final disposal.

The new Environmental Protection Act, which will come into force on 1 January 2022, requires manufacturers and importers to recycle discarded products according to mandatory percentages and methods, leaving them the choice of either handling the recycling themselves or paying the Environment Fund to do so on their behalf. The draft decree provides a formula for calculating the mandatory recycling ratio.

In May 2021, a draft decree law was published defining the level of financial contribution to Vietnam's Environmental Protection Fund where producers decide to pay for this Fund instead of carrying out the recycling themselves. The financial contribution to the Vietnam Environmental Protection Fund to support recycling is determined on the basis of the mandatory recycling rate. From 2025, the recycling of disused motorbikes will begin and the above-mentioned mandatory recycling ratio will be implemented.

Environmental tax

In order to protect the environment, the Vietnamese government is considering a bill to impose a tax on products that have a negative environmental impact. Guidelines for the application and calculation of the tax have not yet been issued.

Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Due to the nature of its business, the Group is exposed to different types of risks. To mitigate exposure to these risks, the Group has adopted a structured and integrated system to identify, measure and manage company risks, in line with industry best practices (i.e. CoSO ERM Framework). Scenarios applicable to Group operations are mapped, involving all organisational units, and are updated on an annual basis. These scenarios are grouped referring to external, strategic, financial or operational risk, also considering sustainability issues and in particular "ESG" ("Environmental, Social, Governance related") risks, i.e. which are related to environmental aspects, personnel, social matters, human rights and the fight against active and passive corruption. For details, see the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement included in the 2020 Financial Statements.

EXTERNAL RISKS

Risks related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical context

To mitigate any negative effects arising from the macroeconomic and geopolitical context, the Piaggio Group continued its strategic vision, diversifying operations at international level, in particular in Asia where growth rates of economies are still high, and consolidating the competitive positioning of its products. To achieve this, the Group focuses on research activities, and in particular on the development of engines with a low consumption and a low or zero environmental impact.

Risks connected to consumer trends

Piaggio's success depends on its ability to manufacture products that cater for consumer's tastes and can meet their needs for mobility. Levering customer expectations and emerging needs, with reference to its product range and customer experience, is essential for the Group to maintain a competitive edge.

Through market analysis, focus groups, concept and product testing, investments in research and development and sharing a roadmap with suppliers and partners, Piaggio can seize emerging market trends to renew its own product range.

Customer feedback enables Piaggio to evaluate customer satisfaction levels and fine tune its own sales and aftersales service model.

Risks related to a high level of market competition

Over the last few years, the characteristics and dynamics of the competitive background of markets on which the Group operates have changed considerably, above all regarding prices, also due to a declining demand worldwide. In addition, the Group is exposed to the actions of competitors that, through technological innovation or replacement products, could obtain products with better quality standards and streamline costs, offering products at more competitive prices.

Piaggio has tried to tackle this risk, which could have a negative impact on the financial position and performance of the Group, by manufacturing high quality products that are innovative, cost-effective, reliable and safe, and by consolidating its presence in Asia.

Risk relative to the regulatory and legal framework

Numerous national and international laws and regulations on safety, noise levels, consumption and the emission of pollutant gases apply to Piaggio products. Strict regulations on atmospheric emissions, waste disposal, the drainage and disposal of water and other pollutants also apply to the Group's production sites.

Unfavourable changes in the regulatory and/or legal framework at a national and international level could mean that products can no longer be sold on the market, forcing manufacturers to invest to renew their product ranges and/or renovate/upgrade production plants.

To deal with these risks, the Group has always invested in research and development into innovative products, anticipating any restrictions on current regulations. Moreover, the Group, as one of the sector's leading manufacturers, is often requested to be represented on parliamentary committees appointed to discuss and formulate new laws.

Risks connected with natural events and climate change

The Group operates through industrial sites located in Italy, India and Vietnam. These sites could be affected by natural events, such as earthquakes, typhoons, flooding and other catastrophes linked to climate change that may damage sites and also slow down/interrupt production and sales.

Continual renewal of the sites prevents these risk scenarios. The potential impact of these risks is mitigated by specific insurance cover taken out for various sites based on their relative importance.

Risks connected with the pandemic

If a pandemic spreads and measures are adopted by various governments to contain the virus, the Group could be negatively affected as regards:

  • the procurement chain: suppliers might no longer be able to produce/deliver the components necessary to supply production sites;
  • production activities: the Group might no longer be able to use the workforce, following government regulations limiting personal movement, or it might be impossible for the company to guarantee a healthy, protected work environment;
  • the distribution of products: measures to contain the spread of the virus could require sales outlets to be closed, or the Group might not be able to supply the sales network.

Piaggio has tried and is trying to deal with this risk, which could negatively affect the Group's financial position and performance following a possible decrease in revenues, profitability and cash flows, thanks to a global sourcing policy, a production capacity distributed on different continents and a sales network present in over 100 nations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, measures have also been taken at all the Group's sites to ensure social distancing, the sanitation of workstations and communal areas and the adoption of specific PPE; smart working has also been introduced.

This activity was supervised by local anti-COVID committees monitored at Group level.

Risk connected with the use of new technologies

The Piaggio Group is exposed to risk from the difficulty of keeping abreast with new product and production process technologies. To tackle this risk, the R&D centres at Pontedera, Noale (thanks also to Aprilia Racing's experience in MotoGP racing in Italy) and PADc – the Piaggio Advanced Design Center in Pasadena are dedicated to research, development and trialling new technological solutions, while Piaggio Fast Forward in Boston is studying innovative solutions to anticipate and meet future mobility needs.

Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks

Risks connected with the sales network

The Group's business is closely related to the sales network's ability to guarantee end customers a high quality sales and after-sales service. Piaggio deals with this risk by establishing specific technical/professional standards to adopt in contracts, and by adopting periodic controls.

STRATEGIC RISKS

Reputational and Corporate Social Responsibility risks

In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to stakeholders' perception of the Group and its reputation and their loyalty changing for the worse because of the release of detrimental information or due to sustainability requirements in the Corporate Governance Report not being met, as regards economic, environmental, social and product-related aspects.

Risks connected with the definition of strategies

In defining its strategic objectives, the Group could make errors of judgment with a consequent impact on its image and financial performance.

Risks connected with the adoption of strategies

In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to risks from the wrong or incomplete adoption of strategies, with a consequent negative impact on achieving the Group's strategic objectives.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Risks connected with exchange rate trends

The Piaggio Group undertakes operations in currencies other than the euro and this exposes it to the risk of fluctuating exchange rates of different currencies.

Exposure to business risk consists of envisaged payables and receivables in foreign currency, taken from the budget for sales and purchases reclassified by currency and accrued on a monthly basis.

The Group's policy is to hedge at least 66% of the exposure of each reference month.

Exposure to the settlement risk consists of receivables and payables in foreign currency acquired in the accounting system at any moment. The hedge must at all times be equal to 100% of the import, export or net settlement exposure for each currency.

During the year, currency exposure was managed based on a policy that aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of exchange rate variations on company cash flow. This was achieved by hedging economic risk, which refers to changes in company profitability compared to the planned annual economic budget, based on a reference change (the "budget change"), and transaction risk, which refers to differences between the exchange rate at which receivables and payables are recognised in currency in the financial statements and the exchange rate at which the relative amount received or paid is recognised.

The Group has assets and liabilities which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and are necessary to manage

liquidity and financial requirements. These assets and liabilities are subject to an interest rate risk and are hedged by derivatives or by specific fixed-rate loan agreements.

For a further description, reference is made to section 40 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risks connected with insufficient cash flows and access to the credit market

The Group is exposed to the risk arising from the production of cash flows that are not sufficient to guarantee Group payments due, or adequate profitability and growth to achieve its strategic objectives. Moreover, this risk is connected with the difficulty the Group may have in obtaining loans or a worsening in conditions of loans necessary to support Group operations in appropriate time frames.

To deal with these risks, cash flows and the Group's credit line needs are monitored and managed centrally under the control of the Group's Treasury in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of the financial resources as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint.

In addition, the Parent Company finances the temporary cash requirements of Group companies by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or guarantees.

Risks connected with credit quality of counterparties

This risk is connected with any downgrading of the credit rating of customers and consequent possibility of late payments, or the insolvency of customers and consequent failure to receive payments.

To balance this risk, the Parent Company evaluates the financial reliability of its business partners and stipulates agreements with primary factoring companies in Italy and other countries for the sale of trade receivables without recourse.

Risks connected with deleverage

This risk is connected with compliance with covenants and targets to reduce loans, to maintain a sustainable debt/ equity balance.

To offset this risk, the measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis.

OPERATING RISKS

Risks relative to the product

The "Product" category includes all risks concerning faults due to a nonconforming quality and safety and consequent recall campaigns that could expose the Group to: the costs of managing campaigns, replacing vehicles, claims for compensation and above all if faults are not managed correctly and/or are recurrent, damage to its reputation. A product nonconformity may be due to potential errors and/or omissions of suppliers, or internal processes (i.e. during product development, production, quality control).

To mitigate these risks, Piaggio has established a Quality Control system, it tests products during various stages of the production process and carefully sources its suppliers based on technical/professional standards. The Group has also defined plans to manage recall events and has taken out insurance to protect the Group against events attributable to product defects.

Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks

Risks connected with the production process/business continuity

The Group is exposed to risk connected with possible interruptions to company production, due to the unavailability of raw materials or components, skilled labour, systems or other resources.

To deal with these risks, the Group has necessary maintenance plans, invests in upgrading machinery, has a flexible production capacity and sources from several suppliers of components to prevent the unavailability of one supplier affecting company production. Moreover, the operating risks related to industrial sites in Italy and other countries are managed through specific insurance cover assigned to sites based on their relative importance.

Risks connected with the supply chain

In carrying out its operations, the Group sources raw materials, semi-finished products and components from a number of suppliers. Group operations are conditioned by the ability of its suppliers to guarantee the quality standards and specifications requested for products, as well as relative delivery times. To mitigate these risks, the Group qualifies and periodically evaluates its suppliers based on professional/technical/financial criteria in line with international standards.

Risks connected with the environment and with health and safety

The Group has production sites, research and development centres and sales offices in different nations and so is exposed to the risk of not being able to guarantee a safe working environment, with the risk of causing potential harm to property or people and exposing the Group to legal sanctions, lawsuits brought by employees, costs for compensation payments and reputational harm.

To mitigate these risks, Piaggio adopts a sustainable development model that is based on environmental sustainability, in terms of safeguarding natural resources and the possibility that the ecosystem might absorb the direct and indirect impact of production activities. Specifically, Piaggio seeks to minimise the environmental impact of its industrial activities by carefully defining the manufacturing technological cycle and by using the best technology and the most modern production methods.

The risks related to accidents/injuries sustained by personnel are mitigated by aligning processes, procedures and structures with applicable Occupational Safety laws, as well as best international standards.

These commitments, set out in the Code of Ethics7 and confirmed by top management in the Group's "environmental policy" which is the basis for environmental certification (ISO 14001) and health and safety certification (ISO 45001 for Italian sites and Vietnam and BS OHSAS 18001 for India) already awarded and maintained at production sites, is a mandatory benchmark for all company sites no matter where they are working.

Risks connected with processes and procedures adopted

The Group is exposed to the risk of shortcomings in planning its company processes or errors and deficiencies in carrying out operations.

To deal with this risk, the Group has established a system of directives comprising organisational notices and Manuals/Policies, Management Procedures, Operating Procedures and Work Instructions. All documents relative to Group processes and procedures are part of the single Group Document Information System, with access that is regulated and managed on the company intranet.

7 Code of Ethics - Article 8: "Without prejudice to compliance with the specific applicable regulation, the Company pays attention to environmental issues in its decisions, also adopting – where operationally and economically feasible and compatible – environmentally friendly production technologies and methods, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of its activities".

Risks relative to human resources

The main risks the Group is exposed to concerning human resources management include the ability to recruit expertise, professionalism and experience necessary to achieve objectives. To offset these risks, the Group has established specific policies for recruitment, career development, training, remuneration and talent management, which are adopted in all countries where the Group operates according to the same principles of merit, fairness and transparency, and focusing on aspects that are relevant for the local culture.

In Europe, the Piaggio Group operates in an industrial context with a strong trade union presence, and is potentially exposed to the risk of strikes and interruptions to production activities.

In the recent past, the Group was not affected by major interruptions to production because of strikes. To avoid the risk of interruptions to production activities, as far as possible, the Group bases its relations with trade union organisations on dialogue.

Legal risks

The Piaggio Group legally protects its products and brands throughout the world. In some countries where the Group operates, laws do not offer certain standards of protection for intellectual property rights. This circumstance could render the measures adopted by the Group to protect itself from the unlawful use of these rights by third parties inadequate.

Within the framework of its operations, the Group is involved in legal and tax proceedings. As regards some of the proceedings, the Group could be in a position where it is not able to effectively quantify potential liabilities that could arise. A detailed analysis of the main disputes is provided in the specific paragraph in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risks relative to internal offences

The Group is exposed to risks of its employees committing offences, such as fraud, active and passive corruption, acts of vandalism or damage that could have negative effects on its business results in the year, and also harm the image and integrity of the Company and its reputation. To prevent these risks, the Group has adopted a Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 and a Code of Ethics which sets out the principles and values the entire organisation takes inspiration from.

Risks relative to reporting

The Group is exposed to the risk of possible inadequacies in its procedures that are intended to ensure compliance with Italian and relevant foreign regulations applicable to financial disclosure, running the risk of fines and other sanctions. In particular there is a risk that financial reporting for Group stakeholders is not accurate and reliable due to significant errors or the omission of material facts and that the Group provides disclosure required by applicable laws in a manner which is inadequate, inaccurate or untimely.

To deal with these risks, the financial statements are audited by Independent Auditors. Furthermore, it should be noted that the control activity envisaged by Law 262/2005 is also extended to the most important subsidiaries, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd, Piaggio Vietnam Co Ltd, Piaggio Group Americas Inc, Aprilia Racing Srl and Foshan Piaggio Vehicles Technology Research and Development Co Ltd.

Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks

Risks related to ICT systems

With reference to this category, the main risk factors that could compromise the availability of the Group's ICT systems include cyber attacks, which could cause the possible interruption of production and sales support activities or compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data managed by the Group. To mitigate the occurrence of these risks, Piaggio has adopted a centralised system of controls to improve the Group's IT security.

EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

No significant events are reported.

OPERATING OUTLOOK

In a market context that remains positive, providing guidance remains complex given the uncertainty over the evolution of the pandemic, compounded by a series of difficulties such as the general rise in the cost of commodities and problems in transport logistics, especially from the Far East.

Against this general picture, in the year that it celebrates Moto Guzzi's centenary and Vespa's 75th anniversary, Piaggio will move ahead with the launch of the 11 new two-wheelers scheduled for 2021 and operations relating to the increase in expenditure announced at the beginning of the year with the new E-mobility department, the new factory in Indonesia and the complete restructuring of the Moto Guzzi production facility and museum areas.

Piaggio confirms that, as indicated when it published its first-quarter results, it will continue to work to meet its commitments and targets, maintaining all the necessary measures to ensure a flexible and immediate response to any difficult and unexpected situations that might arise, thanks to careful and efficient business and financial management.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A) GENERAL ASPECTS

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (the Company) is a joint-stock company established in Italy at the Register of Companies of Pisa. The address of the registered office is Viale Rinaldo Piaggio 25 - Pontedera (Pisa). The main activities of the company and its subsidiaries are set out in the Report on Operations.

These Financial Statements are expressed in Euros (¤) since this is the currency in which most of the Group's transactions take place. Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date.

1. Scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation is unchanged from the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020.

2. Compliance with international accounting standards

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS), in force, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Union, and in compliance with provisions established by Consob in Communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006. The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.

During the drafting of these Condensed Interim Financial Statements, prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the same accounting standards adopted in the drafting of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2020 were applied, with the exception of the paragraph "New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2021".

The information provided in the Half-Year Report should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2020, prepared according to IFRS.

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the values of revenues, costs, consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities and on the information regarding contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. If these management estimates and assumptions should, in future, differ from the actual situation, they will be changed as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. For a more detailed description of the most significant measurement methods of the Group, reference is made to the section "Use of estimates" of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2020.

It should finally be noted that some assessment processes, in particular the most complex ones such as establishing any impairment of fixed assets, are generally undertaken in full only when preparing the annual financial statements, when all the potentially necessary information is available, except in cases where there are indications of impairment which require an immediate assessment of any impairment loss.

It should be noted that, in light of the strategic initiatives announced by the Parent Company, and the results achieved thanks to the significant investment plan put in place, which feeds into a development path already underway during the last three years, the Group, having obtained the fairness opinion from a leading consulting firm, has revised the residual useful lives of the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi trademarks from definite to indefinite.

The Group's activities, especially those regarding two-wheeler products, are subject to significant seasonal changes in sales during the year.

Income tax is recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average weighted tax rate for the entire financial period.

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been subjected to a limited review by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A..

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED FROM 1 JANUARY 2021

Derivatives and measurement of hedging transactions

Until 31 December 2020, the Group had chosen to apply the hedge accounting provisions of IAS 39, as permitted by IFRS 9. As of 1 January 2021, IFRS 9 has been applied. This change has not had a significant impact on the values or disclosures in the financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 – Interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 1

These amendments provide some facilitations in relation to the reform of interest rate benchmarks. The issues relate to the recognition of hedging transactions and have the effect that IBOR reform should not generally result in the cessation of hedge accounting. However, if the hedge is ineffective it should continue to be recognised in profit or loss. Given the pervasive nature of hedging that involves contracts based on IBOR, the facilitations will affect companies from all sectors.

The application of the new amendments did not have a significant impact on the values or disclosures in the financial statements.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET APPLICABLE

At the date of these Financial Statements, competent bodies of the European Union had not completed the approval process necessary for the application of the following accounting standards and amendments:

  • in May 2017, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". The new standard, which will replace IFRS 4 and will be effective from 1 January 2023, was amended in June 2020.
  • In January 2020, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 1 that clarify the definition of "current" or "noncurrent" liabilities based on rights existing at the reporting date. These amendments will apply from 1 January 2022.
  • In May 2020, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and annual revisions to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and IFRS 16. The amendments will be applicable with effect from 1 January 2022.
  • In June 2020, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4 that postpone the exemption from the application of IFRS 9 to 1 January 2023.
  • In August 2020, the IASB published some amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. The amendments will be effective from 1 January 2021.
  • In February 2021, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Practice Statement 2 and IAS 8. The amendments aim to improve disclosure of accounting standards and to help users of the financial statements distinguish between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting standards. These amendments will apply from 1 January 2023.
  • In March 2021, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 16 that move the final date from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022, for a practical expedient for measuring leases where renegotiated lease payments have been made as a result of COVID-19. The lessee may opt to recognise the concession in the accounts as a variable lease payment in the period when a lower payment is recognised. These amendments will apply from 1 April 2021.
  • In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction. The amendments require companies to recognise deferred taxes when an asset or liability is initially recognised in a transaction that results in equal amounts of temporary deductible and taxable differences.

The Group will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations, based on the application date indicated, and will evaluate potential impact, when the standards, amendments and interpretations are endorsed by the European Union.

B) SEGMENT REPORTING

3. Operating segment reporting

The organisational structure of the Group is based on 3 Geographic Segments, involved in the production and sale of vehicles, spare parts and assistance in areas under their responsibility: EMEA and Americas, India and Asia Pacific 2W. Operating segments are identified by management, in line with the management and control model used.

In particular, the structure of disclosure corresponds to the structure of periodic reporting analysed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for business management purposes.

Each Geographic Segment has production sites and a sales network dedicated to customers in that geographic segment. In particular:

  • EMEA and Americas have production sites and deal with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles;
  • India has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles;

– Asia Pacific 2W has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler vehicles.

Central structures and development activities currently dealt with by EMEA and Americas, are handled by individual segments.

C) INFORMATION ON THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

Values for the first half of 2020 were heavily influenced by the COVID-19 health emergency, which led to the closure of production and commercial activities for several weeks in many countries.

The former are recognised in profit or loss, strictly relating to the amortisation and depreciation of capitalised costs for which they were received.

Revenues include ¤/000 3,944 in subsidies from the Indian government given to the affiliate Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited for investments made in during previous years and recognised in the income statement in proportion to the depreciation and amortisation of assets for which the grant was given. The recognition of these amounts is supported by appropriate documentation received from the Government of India in early 2021, certifying that the entitlement has been recognised and therefore that collection is reasonably certain.

The items "rent receipts" and "sponsorships" are mainly related to the activity of the racing team, which was halted by the pandemic in the first half of 2020.

The increase in the product warranty provision is related to the higher sales volumes realised in the first half-year 2021.

12. Income/(loss) from investments ¤/000 412

Income from investments was generated from income deriving from the Group's share of the profits of the joint venture Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd (¤/000 415) and the affiliated company Pontech (¤/000 18) valued at equity, and the write-down of the minority investment in Vega, Società Consortile Parco Scientifico e Tecnologico Venezia (S.C.P.S.T.V.) (¤/000 -21).

13. Net financial income (borrowing costs) ¤/000 (10,610)

The balance of financial income (borrowing costs) for the first six months of 2021 was negative by ¤/000 10,610, worsening compared to net costs for the same period of the previous year (¤/000 10,127), mainly due to the lower contribution from currency operations, which was only partially offset by the effects of a decrease in average debt.

Income tax for the period, determined based on IAS 34, is estimated by applying a rate of 38% to profit before tax, equivalent to the best estimate of the weighted average rate predicted for the financial year.

15. Gain/(loss) from assets held for disposal or sale ¤/000 0

At the end of the reporting period, there were no gains or losses from assets held for disposal or sale.

14. Taxes ¤/000 (26,662)

17. Intangible assets ¤/000 706,322

Intangible assets went up overall by ¤/000 10,676, mainly due to investments for the period which were only partially balanced by amortisation for the period.

Increases mainly refer to the capitalisation of development costs and know-how for new products and new engines, as well as the purchase of software.

During the first half of 2021, borrowing costs for ¤/000 486 were capitalised.

The table below shows the breakdown of intangible assets as of 30 June 2021, as well as movements during the period.

Development costs include costs for products and engines referable to projects for which, as regards the period of the useful life of the asset, revenues are expected that allow for at least the costs incurred to be recovered. Assets under development refer to costs for which conditions for capitalisation apply, but that refer to products that will go into production in subsequent years.

Borrowing costs attributable to the development of products which require a considerable period of time to be realised are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets. Development costs included under this item are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 3 to 5 years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.

In the first half of 2021, development costs amounting to ¤/000 11,171 were carried as expenses directly in the income statement.

The item Patent rights comprises software for ¤/000 29,357 and patents and know-how.

Increases for the period mainly refer to new calculation, design and production techniques and methodologies developed by the Group, referring to main new products in the 2021-2022 range.

Costs for industrial patent and intellectual property rights are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 3 to 5 years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.

The item Concessions, Licences, Trademarks and similar rights, is broken down as follows:

It should be noted that, in light of the strategic initiatives announced by the Parent Company, and the results achieved thanks to the significant investment plan put in place, which feeds into a development path already underway during the last three years, the Group, having obtained the fairness opinion from a leading consulting firm, has revised the residual useful lives of the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi trademarks from definite to indefinite.

Goodwill derives from the greater value paid compared to the corresponding portion of the subsidiaries shareholders' equity at the time of purchase, less the related accumulated amortisation until 31 December 2003. Goodwill was attributed to cash generating units.

The organisational structure of the Group is based on 3 Geographic Segments (CGUs), involved in the production and sale of vehicles, relative spare parts and assistance in areas under their responsibility: EMEA and Americas, India and Asia Pacific 2W. Each Geographic Segment has production sites and a sales network dedicated to customers in that geographic segment. Central structures and development activities currently dealt with by EMEA and Americas, are handled by individual CGUs.

Goodwill cannot be amortised, but is tested for impairment annually or frequently, if specific events take place or changed circumstances indicate that the asset may have been affected by impairment, to identify impairment as provided for by IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets.

The possibility of reinstating booked values is verified by comparing the net carrying amount of individual cash generating units with the recoverable value (value in use). This recoverable value is represented by the present value of future cash flows which, it is estimated, will be derived from the continual use of goods referring to cash generating units and by the terminal value attributable to these goods.

The recoverability of goodwill is verified at least once per year (as of 31 December), even in the absence of indicators of impairment losses.

At 30 June 2021, the Group compared the actual results at that date with the budgeted figures for the year 2021, supplemented by the forecast figures for the period 2022-2024, approved by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2021. This analysis did not reveal any indicators that would require the impairment test conducted for the financial statements as of 31 December 2020 to be updated.

18. Property, plant and equipment ¤/000 264,489

Property, plant and equipment mainly refer to Group production facilities in Pontedera (Pisa), Noale (Venice), Mandello del Lario (Lecco), Baramati (India) and Vinh Phuc (Vietnam).

The increases mainly relate to the construction of moulds for new vehicles launched during the period.

Borrowing costs attributable to the construction of assets which require a considerable period of time to be ready for use are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets. During the first half of 2021, borrowing costs for ¤/000 103 were capitalised.

The carrying amount as of 31 December 2020 was in line with the price used in the sales contract, as no misalignment events occurred between 31 December 2020 and 17 February 2021 that altered the value. The Group uses the "fair value model" as provided for by IAS 40.

21. Deferred tax assets ¤/000 55,874

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their net value when they may be offset in the same tax jurisdiction. As part of measurements to define deferred tax assets, the Group mainly considered the following:

  • tax regulations of countries where it operates, the impact of regulations in terms of temporary differences and any tax benefits arising from the use of previous tax losses;
  • taxable income expected in the medium term for each single company and the economic and tax impact. In this framework, the plans from the reprocessing of the Group plan approved by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2021, were used as the reference, with forecasts confirmed. As regards Piaggio & C. SpA, which is part of the National Consolidated Tax Convention of the IMMSI Group, the recovery of deferred tax assets is related to and confirmed by company forecasts and by taxable amounts of companies that are part of the above convention, as indicated in the long-term plans approved by their respective Boards, whose forecasts were confirmed;
  • the tax rate in effect in the year when temporary differences occur.

In view of these considerations, and with a prudential approach, it was decided to not wholly recognise the tax benefits arising from losses that can be carried over and from temporary differences.

23. Trade receivables (current and non-current) ¤/000 133,945

As of 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020, there were no trade receivables in non-current assets. Current trade receivables are broken down as follows:

Total 133,945 68,692 65,253

Receivables due from joint ventures refer to amounts due from Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycles Co. Ltd.

Receivables due from associates regard amounts due from Immsi Audit.

The item Trade receivables comprises receivables referring to normal sale transactions, recorded net of a provision for bad debts of ¤/000 29,260.

The Group sells, on a rotating basis, a large part of its trade receivables with and without recourse. Piaggio has signed contracts with some of the most important Italian and foreign factoring companies as a move to optimise the monitoring and the management of its trade receivables, besides offering its customers an instrument for funding their own inventories, for factoring classified as without the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. On the contrary, for factoring without recourse, contracts have been formalised for the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. As of 30 June 2021, trade receivables still due sold without recourse totalled ¤/000 196,065.

Of these amounts, Piaggio received payment prior to natural expiry of ¤/000 174,647.

As of 30 June 2021, advance payments received from factoring companies and banks, for trade receivables sold with recourse totalled ¤/000 11,717 with a counter entry recorded in current liabilities.

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

As regards the discount rate, the Group has decided to use the iBoxx Corporates AA rating with a 7-10 duration as the valuation reference.

The Parent Company has a revolving credit line for ¤/000 20,000 (unused as of 30 June 2021) from Banca Intesa San Paolo maturing on 5 January 2022.

All the above financial liabilities are unsecured.

The item Bonds for ¤/000 254,385 (nominal value of ¤/000 261,050) refers to:

  • a ¤/000 11,047 private debenture loan (nominal value of ¤/000 11,050), (US Private Placement) issued on 25 July 2011 for \$/000 75,000 wholly subscribed by an American institutional investor, payable in 5 annual portions from July 2017, with a semi-annual coupon. As of 30 June 2021, the fair value measurement of the debenture loan was equal to ¤/000 13,494 (the fair value is determined based on IFRS relative to fair value hedging). A Cross Currency Swap has been taken out on this debenture loan to hedge the exchange risk and interest rate risk;
  • ¤/000 243,338 (nominal value of ¤/000 250,000) related to a high-yield debenture loan issued on 30 April 2018 for a nominal amount of ¤/000 250,000, maturing on 30 April 2025 and with a semi-annual coupon with fixed annual nominal rate of 3.625%. Standard & Poor's and Moody's assigned a B+ rating with a positive outlook and a Ba3 rating with a stable outlook respectively for the issue.

It should be noted that the Company may repay in advance all or part of the High Yield bond issued on 30 April 2018 on the terms specified in the indenture. The value of prepayment options was not deducted from the original contract, as these are considered as being closely related to the host instrument, as provided for by IFRS 9 b4.3.5.

Financial advances received from factoring companies and banks, on the sale of trade receivables with recourse, totalled ¤/000 11,717.

Medium/long-term payables to other lenders equal to ¤/000 353 of which ¤/000 282 maturing after the year and ¤/000 71 as the current portion refer to a loan from the Region of Tuscany, pursuant to regulations on incentives for investments in research and development.

Covenants

In line with market practices for borrowers with a similar credit rating, main loan contracts require compliance with:

    1. financial covenants, on the basis of which the company undertakes to comply with certain levels of contractually defined financial indices, with the most significant comprising the ratio of net financial debt/gross operating margin (EBITDA), measured on the consolidated perimeter of the Group, according to definitions agreed on with lenders;
    1. negative pledges according to which the company may not establish collaterals or other constraints on company assets;
  • 3."pari passu" clauses, on the basis of which the loans will have the same repayment priority as other financial liabilities, and change of control clauses, which are effective if the majority shareholder loses control of the company;

  • limitations on the extraordinary operations the company may carry out.

The measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis.

The high yield debenture loan issued by the company in April 2018 provide for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practice on the high yield market. In particular, the company must observe the EBITDA/Net borrowing costs index, based on the threshold established in the Prospectus, to increase financial debt defined during issue. In addition, the Prospectus includes some obligations for the issuer, which limit, inter alia, the capacity to:

  1. pay dividends or distribute capital;

  2. make some payments;

  3. grant collaterals for loans;

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

4.merge with or establish some companies; 5. sell or transfer own assets.

Failure to comply with the covenants and other contract commitments of the loan and debenture loan, if not remedied in agreed times, may give rise to an obligation for the early repayment of the outstanding amount of the loan.

Amortised Cost and Fair Value Measurement

All financial liabilities are measured in accordance with accounting standards and based on the amortised cost method (except for liabilities with hedging derivatives measured at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss, for which the same measurement criteria used for the derivative are applied and receivables classified as Fair Value Through OCI): according to this method, the nominal amount of the liability is decreased by the amount of relative costs of issue and/ or stipulation, in addition to any costs relating to refinancing of previous liabilities. The amortisation of these costs is determined on an effective interest rate basis, and namely the rate which discounts the future flows of interest payable and reimbursements of principle at the net carrying amount of the financial liability.

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement defines fair value on the basis of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of an active market or market that does not operate regularly, fair value is measured by valuation techniques. The standard defines a fair value hierarchy:

– level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities measured;

  • level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) on the market;
  • level 3 inputs not based on observable market data.

The valuation techniques referred to levels 2 and 3 must take into account adjustment factors that measure the risk of insolvency of both parties. To this end, the standard introduces the concepts of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustment (DVA): CVA makes it possible to include the counterparty credit risk in the fair value measurement; DVA reflects the risk of insolvency of the Group.

F) MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK

This section describes all financial risks to which the Group is exposed and how these risks could affect future results.

39. Credit risk

The Group considers that its exposure to credit risk is as follows:

IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS AS OF 30 JUNE 2021 AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2020
Liquid assets 226,394 230,061
Financial receivables 2,461 2,654
Other receivables 82,502 70,501
Tax receivables 34,736 25,250
Trade receivables 133,945 68,692
Total 480,038 397,158

The Group monitors and manages credit centrally by using established policies and guidelines. The portfolio of trade receivables shows no signs of concentrated credit risk in light of the broad distribution of our licensee or distributor network. In addition, most trade receivables are short-term. In order to optimise credit management, the Group has established revolving programmes with some primary factoring companies for selling its trade receivables without recourse in Europe and the United States.

40. Financial risks

The financial risks the Group is exposed to are liquidity risk, exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The management of these risks, in order to reduce management costs and dedicated resources, is centralised and treasury operations take place in accordance with formal policies and guidelines which are applicable to all Group companies.

Liquidity risk and capitals management

The liquidity risk arises from the possibility that available financial resources are not sufficient to cover, in due times and procedures, future payments arising from financial and/or commercial obligations. To deal with these risks, cash flows and the Group's credit line needs are monitored or managed centrally under the control of the Group's Treasury in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of the financial resources as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint.

In addition, the Parent Company finances the temporary cash requirements of Group companies by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or guarantees. A cash pooling zero balance system is used between the Parent Company and European companies to reset the receivable and payable balances of subsidiaries on a daily basis, for a more effective and efficient management of liquidity in the Eurozone.

As of 30 June 2021 the most important credit lines irrevocable until maturity granted to the Parent Company were as follows:

  • a debenture loan of ¤/000 250,000 maturing in April 2025;
  • a debenture loan of \$/000 16,000 maturing in July 2021;
  • a credit line of ¤/000 230,000 comprising a Revolving Credit Facility of ¤/000 187,500 maturing in July 2022 and a loan of ¤/000 42,500 maturing in July 2023;
  • Revolving credit facilities for a total of ¤/000 40,000, with final settlement in July 2022;
  • loans for a total of ¤/000 239,274, with final settlement in March 2028.

Other Group companies also have irrevocable loans totalling ¤/000 12,622 with final settlement in September 2022.

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

As of 30 June 2021, the Group had a liquidity of ¤/000 226,441, undrawn irrevocable credit lines of ¤/000 225,669 and revocable credit lines of ¤/000 186,950, as detailed below:

IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS AS OF 30 JUNE 2021 AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2020
Variable rate with maturity within one year - irrevocable until maturity 20,000
Variable rate with maturity after one year - irrevocable until maturity 205,669 261,072
Variable rate with maturity within one year - cash revocable 175,950 194,419
Variable rate with maturity within one year - with revocation for self-liquidating typologies 11,000 6,000
Total undrawn credit lines 412,619 461,491

Exchange Risk

The Group operates in an international context where transactions are conducted in currencies different from the Euro. This exposes the Group to risks arising from exchange rates fluctuations. For this purpose, the Group has an exchange rate risk management policy which aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of the changes in exchange rates on company cash flows.

This policy analyses:

  • the transaction exchange risk: the policy wholly covers this risk which arises from differences between the recognition exchange rate of receivables or payables in foreign currency in the financial statements and the recognition exchange rate of actual collection or payment. To cover this type of exchange risk, the exposure is naturally offset in the first place (netting between sales and purchases in the same currency) and if necessary, by signing currency future derivatives, as well as advances of receivables denominated in currency;
  • the translation exchange risk: arises from the translation into Euro of the financial statements of subsidiaries prepared in currencies other than the Euro during consolidation. The policy adopted by the Group does not require this type of exposure to be covered;
  • the economic exchange risk: arises from changes in company profitability in relation to annual figures planned in the economic budget on the basis of a reference change (the "budget change") and is covered by derivatives. The items of these hedging operations are therefore represented by foreign costs and revenues forecast by the sales and purchases budget. The total of forecast costs and revenues is processed monthly and associated hedging is positioned exactly on the average weighted date of the economic event, recalculated based on historical criteria. The economic occurrence of future receivables and payables will occur during the budget year.

To hedge the economic exchange risk alone, cash flow hedging is adopted with the effective portion of profits and losses recognised in a specific shareholders' equity reserve. Fair value is determined based on market quotations provided by main traders.

As of 30 June 2021 the total fair value of hedging instruments for the economic exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was positive by ¤/000 4,724.

The net balance of cash flows during the first half of 2021 in main currencies is shown below:

IN MILLIONS OF EUROS CASH FLOW FOR THE 1ST HALF OF 2021
Canadian Dollar 7.4
Pound Sterling 15.3
Swedish Krone (0.8)
Japanese Yen (0.7)
US Dollar 39.1
Indian Rupee (57.0)
Croatian Kuna 1.7
Chinese Yuan11 (17.2)
Vietnamese Dong (68.8)
Singapore Dollar (1.3)
Indonesian Rupiah 20.2
Total cash flow in foreign currency (62.1)

In view of the above, an assumed appreciation/deprecation of 3% of the euro would have generated potential profits for ¤/000 1,809 and potential losses for ¤/000 1,921 respectively.

Interest rate risk

This risk arises from fluctuating interest rates and the impact this may have on future cash flows arising from variable rate financial assets and liabilities. The Group regularly measures and controls its exposure to the risk of interest rate changes, as established by its management policies, in order to reduce fluctuating borrowing costs, and limit the risk of a potential increase in interest rates. This objective is achieved through an adequate mix of fixed and variable rate exposure, and the use of derivatives, mainly interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.

As of 30 June 2021, the following hedging derivatives were taken out:

Cash flow hedging

– An Interest Rate Swap to hedge the variable-rate loan for a nominal amount of ¤/000 30,000 from Banco BPM. The purpose of this instrument is to manage and mitigate exposure to interest rate risk; in accounting terms, the instrument is recognised on a cash flow hedge basis, with profits/losses arising from the fair value measurement allocated to a specific reserve in Shareholders' equity; as of 30 June 2021, the fair value of the instrument was negative by ¤/000 172. The sensitivity analysis of the instrument, assuming a 1% increase and decrease in the shift of the interest rates curve, showed a potential impact on equity, net of the related tax effect, of ¤/000 329 and ¤/000 -412 respectively.

Fair value hedging derivatives (fair value hedging and fair value options)

– Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by the Parent Company for a nominal amount of \$/000 75,000, which was fully repaid on 30 July 2021. The purpose of the instrument is to hedge both the exchange risk and interest rate risk, turning the loan from US dollars to Euro, and from a fixed rate to a variable rate; the instrument is accounted for on a fair value hedge basis, with effects arising from the measurement recognised in profit or loss. As of 30 June 2021, the fair value of the instrument was ¤/000 2,445. The net economic effect arising from the measurement of the instrument and underlying private debenture loan was equal to ¤/000 -15.

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. is subject to the management and coordination of IMMSI S.p.A. pursuant to Article 2497 and subsequent of the Italian Civil Code. During the period, management and coordination comprised the following activities:

  • as regards mandatory financial disclosure, and in particular the financial statements and reports on operations relating to Group companies, IMMSI has produced a group manual containing the accounting standards adopted and options chosen for implementation, in order to give a consistent and fair view of the consolidated financial statements.
  • IMMSI has defined procedures and times for preparing the budget and in general the business plan of Group companies, as well as final management analysis to support management control activities.
  • IMMSI has also provided services for the development and management of assets, with a view to optimising resources within the Group, and provided property consultancy services and other administrative services.
  • IMMSI has provided consultancy services and assistance concerning extraordinary financing operations, organisation, strategy and coordination, as well as services intended to optimise the financial structure of the Group.

In 2019, for a further three years, the Parent Company12 signed up to the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism pursuant to Articles 117 to 129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R.) of which IMMSI S.p.A. is the consolidating company, and to whom other IMMSI Group companies report to. The consolidating company determines a single global income equal to the algebraic sum of taxable amounts (income or loss) realised by individual companies that opt for this type of group taxation.

The consolidating company recognises a receivable from the consolidated company which is equal to the corporate tax to be paid on the taxable income transferred by the latter. Whereas, in the case of companies reporting tax losses, the consolidating company recognises a payable related to corporate tax on the portion of loss actually used to determine global overall income, or calculated as a decrease of overall income for subsequent tax periods, according to the procedures in Article 84, based on the criterion established by the consolidation agreement.

Under the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism, companies may, pursuant to article 96 of Presidential Decree no. 917/86, allocate the excess of interest payable which is not deductible to one of the companies so that, up to the excess of Gross Operating Income produced in the same tax period by other subjects party to the consolidation, the amount may be used to reduce the total income of the Group.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has two office lease agreements with IMMSI, one for property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan, and the other for property in Via Abruzzi 25 in Rome. A part of the property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan is sub-leased by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. to Piaggio Concept Store Mantova Srl.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has undertaken a rental agreement for offices owned by Omniaholding S.p.A.. This agreement, signed in normal market conditions, was previously approved by the Related Parties Transactions Committee, as provided for by the procedure for transactions with related parties adopted by the Company.

Piaggio Concept Store Mantova Srl has a lease contract for its sales premises and workshop with Omniaholding S.p.A.. This agreement was signed in normal market conditions.

Pursuant to Article 2.6.2, section 13 of the Regulation of Stock Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., the conditions as of Article 37 of Consob regulation 16191/2007 exist.

12 Aprilia Racing and Piaggio Concept Store Mantova were also party to the national consolidated tax convention, of which IMMSI S.p.A. is the consolidating company.

45. Disputes

Canadian Scooter Corp. Canadian Scooter Corp. (CSC), sole distributor of Piaggio for Canada, summoned Piaggio & C. S.p.A., Piaggio Group Americas Inc. and Nacional Motor S.A to appear before the Court of Toronto (Canada) in August 2009 to obtain compensation for damages sustained due to the alleged infringement of regulations established by Canadian law on franchising (the Arthur Wishart Act). The case is currently suspended due to no action being taken by the other party. Piaggio considered the possibility of filing a petition for an "order to dismiss" the lawsuit due no action being taken by the other party, however it decided not to proceed at that time as the costs outweighed the possible benefits.

In 2010, Piaggio took action to establish an arbitration board through the Arbitration Chamber of Milan, for a ruling against some companies of the Case New Holland Group (Italy, Netherlands and the USA), as it was known at the time, to recover damages under contractual and non-contractual liability relating to the execution of a supply and development contract of a new family of utility vehicles (NUV). In the award notified to the parties on 3 August 2012, the Board rejected the claims made by the Company. The appeal brought by the Company against this award, before the Court of Appeal of Milan, ended with the appeal being rejected. The Company filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation. In the meantime, the parties reached a settlement agreement, waiving their claims and putting an end to the dispute.

Da Lio S.p.A., by means of a complaint received on 15 April 2009, summoned the Company before the Court of Pisa to claim compensation for the alleged damages sustained for various reasons as a result of the termination of supply relationships. The Company appeared in court requesting the rejection of all opposing requests. Da Lio requested and obtained the joinder of the proceedings with the proceedings opposing the injunction issued in favour of Piaggio for the return of the moulds retained by the supplier at the end of the supply agreement. The proceedings were therefore joined and with an order pursuant to Article 186ter of the code of civil procedure dated 7 June 2011, Piaggio was ordered to pay ¤109,586.60, plus interest, relative to the amounts not contested. During 2012, witness evidence was taken followed by a technical appraisal, requested by Da Lio to quantify the amount of interest claimed by Da Lio and value of stock. The technical appraisal was concluded at the end of 2014. The case was adjourned to 23 September 2016 for specification of the pleadings and a decision was reached. Subsequently, the Court of Pisa had to reassign the case, and after the interruption, the re-appointed Judge decided to re-examine the proceedings and set a new hearing for closing arguments. The parties submitted their closing arguments again, exchanging relative briefs and rejoinders. In a ruling published on 8 August 2019, the Court of Pisa ordered Piaggio in the first instance to pay a total of approximately ¤7,600,000 and to publish the ruling in two national newspapers and two specialist journals. Piaggio, assisted by its lawyers providing counsel in the appeal proceedings who had indicated the many reasons for filing an appeal and the grounds of the Company, filed an appeal before the Appeal Court of Florence, requesting the ruling to be revised and its enforcement to be suspended. On 21 October 2020, the Florence Court of Appeal (Third Civil Court section) partially accepted the petition to suspend the enforceability of the ruling made by Piaggio up to the amount of ¤2,670,210.26, rejecting the rest of the appeal and confirming the enforceability of the ruling for the additional amounts. The Court of Appeal ordered the exchange of written submissions containing the Parties' requests and conclusions in lieu of the first hearing set for 9 June 2021. As a result of the situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the case was adjourned to the next hearing on 8 June 2022 for closing arguments.

In June 2011 Elma srl, a Piaggio dealer since 1995, brought two separate proceedings against the Company, claiming the payment of approximately ¤2 million for alleged breach of the sole agency ensured by Piaggio for the Rome area and an additional ¤5 million as damages for alleged breach and abuse of economic dependence by the Company. Piaggio opposed the proceedings undertaken by Elma, fully disputing its claims and requesting a ruling for Elma to settle outstanding sums owing of approximately ¤966,000.

During the case, Piaggio requested the enforcement of bank guarantees that ensured against the risk of default by the dealer issued in its favour by three banks. Elma attempted to stop enforcement of the guarantees with preventive proceedings at the Court of Pisa (Pontedera section): the proceedings ended in favour of Piaggio that collected the amounts of the guarantees (over ¤400,000). Trial proceedings took place and a hearing was held on 24 April 2013 to examine evidence. After reaching a decision at the aforesaid hearing, the Judge rejected requests for preliminary examination of Elma and set the hearing for 17 December 2015 for closing arguments, which was adjourned to 3 March 2016 and was then not held as the judge was transferred. The case was reassigned to a new Judge, who set the hearing for 19 July 2018, which was adjourned to 4 October 2018 and then to 10 January 2019 to discuss arguments. In the latter hearing, although the parties had already filed their closing arguments, the Judge adjourned the case, for closing

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

arguments to be made, to the hearing of 9 April 2019. In ruling no. 1211/2019, published on 25 November 2019, the Court of Pisa ruled in favour of Piaggio. The Judge threw out all claims made by Elma, ruling it to pay Piaggio the sum of ¤966,787.95 plus interest on arrears, deducting the amount of ¤419,874.14, already received by Piaggio through enforcing the guarantee. Piaggio has paid Elma (offsetting the amount) the sum of ¤58,313.42 plus legal interest. On 14 January 2020, Piaggio filed a bankruptcy petition against Elma in relation to the sums to receive, while on 15 January 2020, Elma appealed against the above ruling with the Court of Appeal of Florence. At the first hearing held by way of written hearing on 2 March 2021, with the filing of authorised notes, the Court held the case for decision, assigning the parties legal deadlines for filing their final statements and respective replies, which were filed within the deadlines by both parties.

As regards the matter, Elma has also brought a case against a former senior manager of the Company before the Court of Rome, claiming compensation for damages: Piaggio appeared in the proceedings, requesting, among other things, that the case be moved to the Court of Pisa. At the hearing of 27 January 2014, the Judge ruled on the preliminary exceptions and did not admit preliminary briefs. The hearing for closing arguments set for 21 December 2015 and subsequently adjourned, was not held as the Judge, on petition of Elma, re-opened the preliminary investigation, admitting testimonial evidence and setting the hearing for 25 May 2016. On this date, examination of the witnesses began and the hearing was adjourned to 24 October 2016 to continue the preliminary investigation. On 11 April 2017, the parties made an attempt at conciliation, initiated by the Judge, which was unsuccessful. The Judge admitted an accounting expert requested by Elma, although with a far more limited scope than the petition filed, adjourning the case to the hearing of 9 October 2018 for closing arguments. The expert's appraisal was filed in October 2018. The parties exchanged their closing arguments and respective rejoinders. In a ruling of 31 May 2019 (published on 3 June 2019) the Ordinary Court of Rome, Civil Section XII, rejected the claim made by Elma S.r.l., also ordering it to pay the expert's fees and legal fees. Elma appealed to the Court of Appeal of Rome, summoning Piaggio to a hearing on 15 April 2020, postponed to 31 March 2021 and again postponed to 6 April 2021, and held by written hearing with exchange of authorised notes. At this stage, the Court rejected the request for annulment of the technical appraisal carried out at first instance, formulated by Elma, deeming this decision to be strictly related to the examination of the appeal on merits, and therefore adjourned the case to the hearing of 10 October 2023 for closing arguments.

The company TAIZHOU ZHONGNENG summoned Piaggio before the Court of Turin, requesting the annulment of the Italian part of the 3D trademark registered in Italy protecting the form of the Vespa, as well as a ruling denying the offence of the counterfeiting of the 3D trademark in relation to scooter models seized by the Italian tax police at the 2013 EICMA trade show, based on the petition filed by Piaggio, in addition to compensation for damages. At the first hearing for the parties to appear, set for 4 February 2015, adjourned to 5 February 2015, the Judge arranged for a technical appraisal to establish the validity of the Vespa 3D trademark and the infringement or otherwise of Znen scooter models. At the hearing of 29 May 2015, having appointed the expert, the Judge set 10 January 2016 as the deadline for filing the final appraisal report and 3 February 2016 as the date for the hearing to discuss it. During this hearing, the Judge, considering the preliminary investigation as completed, set the hearing for closing arguments for 26 October 2016. In a ruling of 6 April 2017, the Court of Turin upheld in full the validity of the 3D Vespa mark of Piaggio, and the counterfeiting of said by the "VES" scooter by Znen. The Court of Turin also recognised the protection of Vespa in accordance with copyright, confirming the creative nature and artistic value of its form, declaring that the scooter "VES" by Znen infringes Piaggio copyright. The other party appealed against the sentence at the Appeal Court of Turin, where the first hearing took place on 24 January 2018. The case was adjourned to the hearing of 13 June 2018 for the closing arguments, after which statements and rejoinders and replications were exchanged. The Court of Appeal of Turin rejected the appeal made by Zhongneng in a ruling published on 16 April 2019. The other party appealed to the Court of Cassation, to which Piaggio filed a counter-appeal on 5 September 2019. The date of the hearing still has to be set.

In summons dated 27 October 2014, Piaggio summoned PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES ITALIA S.p.A., MOTORKIT s.a.s. di Turcato Bruno and C., GI.PI to the Companies Court of Milan. MOTOR di Bastianello Attilio and GMR MOTOR s.r.l. before the Court of Milan, to obtain the recall of Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycles from the market, and to establish the infringement of some European patents and designs owned by Piaggio, as well as a ruling for the compensation for damages for unfair competition, and the publication of the ruling in some newspapers ("Case 1").

In the hearing for the first appearance of 4 March 2015, the judge set the deadline for filing statements pursuant to Article 183.6 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure and appointed an expert witness. The witness's appraisal report was filed on 2 May 2017 andthe Judge adjourned the case to the hearing of 28 February 2018 for closing arguments. At the hearing, the Judge ordered an addition to the expert's appraisal, filed on 20 June 2018 and set the new deadlines for the exchange of final statements. On 27 May 2020, the Court of Milan rejected the claims of infringement of Piaggio

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

patents Nos. EP1363794B1, EP1571016B1, IT1357114 and Community design no. 487723-0001, as well as the claim of unfair competition, ordering Piaggio to pay 3/4 of the costs of the witness appraisal (equal to ¤22,800) and to pay the defendant ¤21,387 for the costs of the proceedings ("Judgment 1"), and also ordered the separation of the hearing on the infringement of patent No. EP1561612B1, combining it with the case brought by PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES SAS for a declaration of erga omnes invalidity ("Case 2").

Piaggio appealed against Judgment 1 before the Court of Appeal of Milan. At the first hearing held on 17 February 2021, the Court verified the admissibility of the notification of the summons to appeal and the parties presented their respective arguments by referring to the filed documents. The Court rejected the objection raised by the appealing Peugeot on the grounds that the appeal was inadmissible, and set the hearing on 10 November 2021 for the closing arguments, reserving the right to decide on the preliminary motion requests made by Piaggio in the appeal.

PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES SAS summoned Piaggio to appear before the Court of Milan, claiming that the patent based on which Piaggio filed a claim in Case 1 for counterfeiting would be voidable, due to a previously existing Japanese patent ("Case 2"). Piaggio appeared in court, claiming that the action taken by Peugeot could not proceed further and that the patent application referred to by Peugeot was irrelevant. During the hearing of 20 February 2018, the Judge established the deadlines for filing preliminary briefs and the case was adjourned to the hearing of 22 May 2018, after which an expert's appraisal was ordered, with the date of 15 January 2019 set for the filing. After the expert's appraisal was filed (confirming the validity of Piaggio's patent), and discussed during the hearing of 29 January 2019, the Judge requested further technical confirmations from the expert, establishing a deadline by which Peugeot must have requested additions to the appraisal. The Judge rejected Peugeot's request for clarification and considered that the case was ready for decision, adjourning the hearing to 15 December 2020 for the definition of the closing arguments of the joined cases (infringement and nullity). The Judge granted the time limits prescribed by law for the filing of closing statements, which were duly exchanged between the parties. At Peugeot's request pursuant to Article 275, paragraph 2 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure, the Court ordered the discussion of arguments of the case, setting the hearing for 24 June 2021. The case is pending a decision.

Piaggio started a similar legal action against PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES SAS before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris. As a result of the Piaggio action ("Saisie Contrefaçon"), several documents were obtained by a bailiff and tests carried out to prove the infringement of the Piaggio MP3 motorcycle by the Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycle. The hearing took place on 8 October 2015 for the appointment of the expert, who will examine the findings of the Saisie Contrefaçon. On 3 February 2016, the hearing took place to discuss the preliminary briefs exchanged between the parties. The hearing to assess preliminary findings, set for 29 September 2016, was adjourned to 9 February 2017 and then to 6 September 2017. In February 2018, a preliminary expert's appraisal was filed defining documents based on which a ruling will be made on the counterfeiting alleged by Piaggio. The hearing was held on 29 January 2019 and proceedings were adjourned to the hearing of 17 October 2019. Subsequently, the term deadline for filing briefs was extended. A hearing was held on 17 September 2020. The parties filed their respective pleadings and at the hearing on 11 March 2021, a decision was reached.

The amounts allocated by the Company for the potential risks deriving from the current disputes appear to be consistent with the predictable outcome of the disputes.

With reference to the tax disputes involving the parent company Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (hereinafter also "the Company" or "the Parent Company"), it should be noted that the dispute against the notice of tax assessment sent to the Company and relating to the 2002 tax year, was closed, as a result of signing up for the settlement concession procedure pursuant to Article 6 of Law Decree no. 119/2018; this closure was declared by the President of the section of the Court of Cassation in charge of the case by decree dated 4 June 2021. A similar decree is also expected in relation to the dispute concerning the 2003 tax period, which is suspended at present, pending final settlement.

The Parent Company obtained a favourable ruling concerning these proceedings, in both the first and second instance, and with reference to both tax periods. The Italian Revenue Agency filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation and the Company filed related appeals against it on 27 May 2013, with reference to the tax litigation made related to the 2002 tax period, and on 10 March 2014, for the tax litigation made relative to the 2003 tax period. On 22 May 2019, the Company filed an application for a settlement concession pursuant to Article 6 of Law Decree 119/2018, paying the amounts required by this law and on 10 June 2019, filed relative applications for suspension.

It should also be noted that the dispute concerning the IRAP and IRES assessments sent to Piaggio & C. S.p.A. on 22 December 2017, both relating to the 2012 tax year and relating to transfer pricing, is pending before the Tuscany

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

Provincial Tax Commission. In this regard, it should be noted that the Company was successful in the first instance before the Florence Provincial Tax Commission with a ruling filed on 15 January 2020; the Revenue Agency appealed against this decision before the Provincial Tax Commission with a summons issued to Piaggio & C. on 12 October 2020; The Company therefore filed an appearance on 2 December 2020 and is waiting for the date of the hearing to be set.

With reference to the disputes arising from inspections relating to income produced by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. in India in the Indian tax years 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, respectively involving claims for approximately ¤1.3 million, ¤1.2 million, ¤1 million and ¤0.9 million, inclusive of interest, the following is reported:

  • for all the years concerned, the Parent Company was successful before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal;
  • as regards disputes relative to the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 periods, the Indian tax authorities filed an appeal against the first instance decision before the High Court;
  • the dispute relative to the 2009-2010 period can be considered as settled, as no reply was received from the local tax authorities within the deadlines established by local regulations in response to a request for clarifications made over 700 days previously by the ruling body. In this regard, the Indian tax authorities could request a remittal for the reply, but in the opinion of consultants assisting the Company the likelihood of the High Court granting this is remote;
  • as regards the dispute relative to the 2010-2011 tax period, the date for the hearing still has to be set;
  • as regards the disputes relative to the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 tax periods, the Company is waiting to see if the local tax authorities decide to appeal against the High Court's decisions, or to abandon the case.

In compliance with local laws, the Parent Company has already paid part of the amounts related to the appeals to the Indian tax authorities, for a total of ¤1.1 million; these amounts were reimbursed to the Company following favourable first instance judgments.

The Company has not considered allocating provisions for these disputes, considering the rules in its favour, in the first instance, and the positive opinions expressed by consultants appointed as counsel.

Moreover, the Parent Company received a VAT assessment order from the Indian tax authorities relative to the 2010- 2011 tax period, concerning the non-application of VAT to intergroup transactions with Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd relative to royalties. A similar order was also notified for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 tax periods. The amount of the dispute including interest is approximately ¤0.6 million for each of the disputed tax periods, of which a small part already paid to the Indian tax authorities, in compliance with local law. The Company decided to appeal against the order relative to the 2010-2011 tax period before the High Court, filing its appeal on 17 June 2019; the Departmental Appellate Authority - Joint Commissioner of Sales Tax orders were appealed relating to subsequent tax periods, with appeals filed in July 2020 for the dispute concerning the 2011-2012 tax period and on 21 June 2021 in relation to the dispute concerning the 2012-2013 tax period.

The main tax disputes of other Group companies concern Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd, PT Piaggio Indonesia, Piaggio France S.A. and Piaggio Hellas S.A.

With reference to the Indian subsidiary, some disputes concerning different tax years from 1998 to 2017 are ongoing related to direct and indirect tax assessments and for a part of which, considering positive opinions expressed by consultants appointed as counsel, provisions have not been made in the financial statements. The Indian company has already partly paid the amounts contested, as required by local laws, that will be paid back when proceedings are successfully concluded in its favour.

It should also be noted that in 2021, Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd decided to sign up for the Vivvad Se Vishwas Scheme, a facilitated dispute settlement procedure for certain disputes, thanks to which it was able to settle pending disputes by paying, where due, only the disputed tax (or 50% of it where appealed by the Indian tax authorities), thereby saving on penalties and interest.

With reference to PT Piaggio Indonesia, the Company has certain disputes outstanding relating to the 2015 and 2017 tax periods.

In particular, in relation to the 2015 tax period, the company appealed against the notices concerning transfer pricing, Withholding Taxes and Value Added Tax respectively.

With respect to the transfer pricing dispute, the Tax Court ruled on 27 January 2020 that the Company was not in favour of the transfer pricing dispute with respect to one of the findings of the local tax authorities concerning financial guarantees. On 8 June 2020, the company filed an appeal against this ruling before the Supreme Court.

In relation to the dispute concerning Withholding Taxes, on 10 October 2019, the Company appealed to the Tax Court, which on 5 March 2021, ruled against one of the findings made by the local tax authorities concerning financial guarantees. On 9 June 2021, the company filed an appeal against this ruling before the Supreme Court.

Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments

With regard to the dispute on Value Added Tax, the Company filed an appeal on 4 May 2021 with the Tax Court and is waiting for the date of the first hearing to be set. It should be noted that the dispute also concerns the month of December 2014.

With respect to the 2017 tax period, the Company filed an appeal with the Tax Court on 8 September 2020 against the transfer pricing and Withholding Tax notice, and the relevant hearings are ongoing.

The total amount currently in question amounts to ¤0.3 million and where due (i.e. where not offset by the company's past losses) has already been paid in full to the Indonesian tax authorities in accordance with the regulations in force there.

As regards Piaggio France, a favourable ruling was issued in December 2012 by the Commission Nationale des Impots directes et des taxes sur le chiffre d'affaires, the decision-making body ruling prior to legal proceedings in disputes with the French tax authorities concerning a general audit of the 2006 and 2007 periods. The French tax authorities, however, upheld their claims against the Company, requesting payment of the amounts claimed and issuing related notices (one for withholding tax and the other for corporate income tax and VAT).

The French company appealed against the notices and appeals were filed against the findings on withholding tax and corporate income tax, before the Tribunal Administratif. Appeals were lodged against decisions taken against the Company on 7 September 2015 and 8 July 2016 before the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles. Following the hearing on 23 January 2018, appeal judges issued a ruling in favour of the Company. The amount in question, equal to approximately ¤3.7 million, including interest, initially paid in full to the French tax authorities, was then reimbursed following the ruling handed down by the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles. This last ruling was appealed against by the French financial administration before the Conseil d'Etat that, in a ruling of 4 October 2019, put the case before the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles to review the decision at a second level, identifying a lack of grounds. Following the hearing held on 22 June 2020, this court ruled against the French company, which had to repay the disputed amounts to the local tax authorities; however, the Company was able to secure the ability to pay a significant portion (approximately ¤3.1 million) of these amounts in instalments in 2021 and 2022.

On 7 December 2020, Piaggio France decided to appeal against the ruling before the Conseil d'Etat which, following the hearing held on 15 June 2021, deemed the appeal inadmissible, rejecting it with a ruling dated 25 June 2021.

As a result of the latest unfavourable judgment received, the French company used the provision set aside for this dispute in the amount of ¤3.6 million.

On 8 April 2015, Piaggio Hellas S.A. received a Tax Report following a general assessment for the 2008 tax period, with findings for approximately ¤0.5 million, including sanctions. On 12 June 2015, the Greek company appealed against the report with the Tax Center – Dispute Resolution Department. Following the unfavourable outcome of this appeal, the Company appealed before the Administrative Court of Appeal, which ruled in favour of the local tax authorities in a ruling of 27 April 2017. The Company therefore appealed before the Supreme Court. The hearing before this court is currently scheduled for 3 November 2021. The amount in question was paid in full to the Greek tax authorities. Based on positive opinions from professionals appointed as counsel, the Company considers a favourable outcome and subsequent reimbursement of amounts paid as likely.
