Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters	Auditing procedures performed in
	response to key audit matters

Recoverability of goodwill

See note 4 "Goodwill" and the paragraph "Accounting standards and valuation criteria" of the explanatory notes.

As at 31 December 2019 goodwill recognised in the consolidated financial statements related to the cash generating unit (hereinafter also "CGU") "Automotive" amounted to Euro 30.1 million. These figures are unchanged as at 31 December 2020.

The Company is required to verify, at least annually, the recoverability of goodwill recognised. This was considered a key audit matter for the purpose of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements in consideration of the significant impact of this caption on the Group consolidated statement of financial position, in consideration of the economic-financial forecasts 2021-2025 as well as due to the current macroeconomic uncertainty context arising from the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.

The valuation models underlying the determination of the recoverable amounts (value in use) of the CGU including the goodwill have been prepared with the support of an external advisor and are based on complex evaluations and estimates of management, having as a reference the above-mentioned economic-financial forecasts. In particular, the valuation models of the recoverable amounts of the CGU including the goodwill and the assumptions included in those models are influenced by future market conditions,

Our audit approach preliminarily consisted of understanding and evaluating the methods and procedures defined by the Company to determine the recoverable amounts of the CGU including the goodwill, as approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2021, in compliance with IAS 36 as adopted by the European Union.

In particular, we verified the reasonableness of the methods adopted and of the main assumptions reflected in the valuation model (discounted cash flow method), prepared by the Company with the support of an external advisor, also involving PwC network valuation experts. In particular, we verified the reasonableness of the discount rate and perpetuity growth rate in relation to the valuation practices usually adopted by companies belonging to the industry in which Landi Renzo Group operates. We also verified that the cash flows included in the valuation models were consistent with those included in the before-mentioned economic-financial forecasts. Considering that forecast cash flows are a particularly significant parameter for the determination of the recoverable amounts of the CGU including the goodwill as they depend on future and uncertain events, we

as regards the expected cash flows, the perpetuity growth rate and the discount rate.	analysed the reasonableness of the estimated future cash flows through interviews with Company's management, with the external advisor engaged by the directors of Landi Renzo SpA and through the involvement of experts in the Automotive segment of PwC network, who supported us in the critical analysis of the reasonableness of the economic-financial forecasts. Furthermore, we verified the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models prepared by the Company. Finally, we verified the disclosures provided by the Company in the consolidated financial statements about the method adopted to determine the recoverable amounts of the CGU including the goodwill, the results of the valuations performed and with reference to the "sensitivity analysis" performed by the Company.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

See note 10 "Deferred tax assets" and the paragraph "Accounting standards and valuation criteria" of the explanatory notes.

Deferred tax assets recognised in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2020 amounted to Euro 13.9 million, partially offset by deferred tax liabilities equal to Euro 1.7 million, giving a net deferred tax asset equal to Euro 12.2 million. Deferred tax assets relate for Euro 4.7 million to temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements and their tax values and for Euro 9.2 million to prior tax losses. The recoverability of deferred tax assets were considered to be a key audit matter for the purpose of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements in consideration of the significant impact of this caption on the consolidated statement of the financial position and on the consolidated income statement of Landi Renzo Group, as well as due to the complexity of the

Our audit procedures preliminarily included understanding and evaluating the procedures adopted by the Company to verify the recoverability of deferred tax assets. We carried out an in-depth analysis of deferred tax assets related to prior tax losses as their recoverability is closely related to the existence of future taxable income and, therefore, to the achievement of the prospective results included in the mentioned economic-financial forecasts. We obtained the analysis performed by the Company on the recoverability of deferred tax assets closely related to the existence of future taxable income of the Landi Renzo Group for the period 2021-2025, which are based on the net results included in the above-mentioned economic-financial forecasts.

evaluation of the recoverability of these receivables which is closely related to the achievability of the economic-financial forecasts, taking into account the current macro-economic uncertainty context arising from the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.

We verified the reasonableness of the net results included in the above-mentioned forecasts through interviews with company management and through the involvement of PwC network experts in the Automotive segment, who supported us in the critical analysis of the reasonableness of the expectations included in the Company's forecasts.

Finally, we verified the disclosures provided by the Company in the consolidated financial statements about the elements supporting the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Evaluation of investment in SAFE&CEC Srl

See notes 7 "Equity investments consolidated using equity method" and 40 "Income (expenses) from joint ventures measured using the equity method" of the explanatory notes.

As at 31 December, 2020, the carrying amount of the investment in the company SAFE&CEC Srl measured with the equity method amounted to Euro 21.8 million.

The Company verifies for the possible presence of impairment indicators that could give rise to doubts about the recoverability of the value of the investment.

This aspect was considered of particular relevance for the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements in consideration of the significant impact of the item on the consolidated statement of financial position and on the consolidated income statement of Landi Renzo Group, also considering the value of goodwill included in the value of the investment. The directors of Landi Renzo SpA have requested and obtained the following documentation prepared by the management of SAFE&CEC Srl, for the purpose of evaluating the carrying value of the equity investment held in SAFE&CEC Srl and for the analysis of any presence of impairment indicators: (i) Landi Renzo Group special purpose consolidated financial information for SAFE&CEC Srl as at 31 December 2020 and (ii) impairment test on the goodwill recorded in the

The audit approach preliminarily consisted of understanding and evaluating of the methods adopted by the directors of Landi Renzo SpA for the purpose of recording the value of the equity investment of the company SAFE&CEC Srl with the equity method and the analysis carried out by them with reference to the presence of any impairment indicators. We also verified the reasonableness of the methods adopted and of the main assumptions reflected in the impairment test evaluation model (method of discounting cash flows) prepared by the directors of SAFE&CEC Srl with the support of external advisor, also involving PwC network valuation experts. In particular, we verified the reasonableness of the discount rate and the perpetual growth rate with respect to the valuation practices usually adopted for companies belonging to the industry in which Landi Renzo Group operates. We also verified that the cash flows included in the valuation model were consistent with those included in the forecasts approved by the directors. Considering that the forecast cash flows are a

particularly significant parameter for the determination of the recoverable amount as it depends on to future and uncertain events, we analysed the reasonableness of the estimated future cash flows through interviews with company management of Landi Renzo SpA and SAFE&CEC Srl, with the external advisor engaged by the directors of SAFE&CEC Srl also through the involvement of PwC network experts of the Automotive segment, who supported us in the critical analysis about the reasonableness of the forecasts included in the forecasts. Finally, we verified the disclosures provided by the Company in the consolidated financial statements about the analysis carried out to identify impairment indicators, if any.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, as well as with the regulations issued to implement article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38/2005 and, in the terms prescribed by law, for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Management is responsible for assessing the Landi Renzo Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, for the appropriate application of the going concern basis of accounting, and for disclosing matters related to going concern. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management uses the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Landi Renzo SpA or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing, in the terms prescribed by law, the Landi Renzo Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA

Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercised professional judgement and maintained professional scepticism throughout the audit. Furthermore:

• We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; we designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks; we obtained audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control:
• We obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Landi Renzo Group's internal control;
• We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
• We concluded on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Landi Renzo Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Landi Renzo Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
• We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
• We obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Landi Renzo Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Landi Renzo Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

We communicated with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identified during our audit.

We also provided those charged with governance with a statement that we complied with the regulations and standards on ethics and independence applicable under Italian law and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor's report.
