As at 30 September 2020, the Group reported revenues equal to €347.1 million, down by 21.4% compared to the same period of 2019 (-20.8% net FX); the Adjusted EBITDA stood at €37.2 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin at 10.7% (16.1% as at 30 September 2019).

In a exceptionally negative global economic scenario of an extraordinary nature caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, consolidated revenues for the period decreased by 21.4% compared to 30 September 2019, in particular in EMEAI, a region in which a drop of -23.0% was recorded, and in the Americas, where the drop was more pronounced and equal to -27.8%, while in APAC the growth started in the first part of the year continued, standing at 4.3%.

The restrictive measures adopted by Governments to deal with the pandemic and the resulting global economic slowdown affected the Group's performance throughout the period, albeit at different levels of intensity and at different stages. The Asian region was affected in particular in the first quarter, while Europe and the Americas subsequently suffered from the gradual spread of the pandemic in the second and in the third quarter of the year, especially in the USA.

In response to the negative economic situation, the Group implemented a cost reduction plan aimed at protecting margins, which made it possible to close the period with a Net profit of €4.6 million (€39.7 million in the same period of 2019).

The Net Financial Debt, as at 30 September 2020, was €39.9 million, showing a negative variation of €20.4 million compared to 30 September 2019 (when it stood at €19.5 million) and of €53.2 million compared to 31 December 2019 (in which the NFP was positive for €13.4 million).

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (NON-GAAP MEASURES)

Management uses certain performance indicators, which are not identified as accounting measures under IFRS (NON-GAAP measures), to allow for a better assessment of the Group's performance. The measurement criteria applied by the Group might not be consistent with those adopted by other groups and the indicators might not be comparable with indicators calculated by the latter. These performance indicators, determined according to provisions set out by the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by Consob with communication no. 92543 of 3 December 2015, refer only to the performance of the accounting period related to this Interim Report on Operations and the compared periods. The performance indicators must be considered as supplementary and do not supersede information given pursuant to IFRS standards. The description of the main indicators adopted is given hereunder.

  • EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation): this indicator is defined as Profit/Loss for the period before depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible assets and rights of use, financial income and expenses and income taxes.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: this indicator is defined as Profit/Loss for the period before depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible assets and right of use, financial income and expenses and income taxes, as well as of costs and revenues considered by the Management as non-recurring because they are significant in amount and type and, as such, do not reflect the Group's core business, as envisaged in Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006.
  • Net Trade Working Capital: this indicator is calculated as the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables, less Trade Payables.
  • Net Working Capital: this indicator is calculated as the sum of Net Commercial Working Capital and Other Current Assets and Liabilities including short-term Provisions for Risks and Charges.
  • Net Invested Capital: this indicator is the total of Current and Non-current Assets, excluding financial assets, less Current and Non-current Liabilities, excluding financial liabilities.
  • NFP (Net Financial Position or Net Financial Debt): this indicator is calculated in accordance with Consob Communication no. 15519 of 28 July 2006, also including "Other financial assets" represented by temporary investments of liquidity and financial liabilities for operating leases following the application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16.
  • Free Cash Flow: this indicator is calculated as the cash flow from operating activities, net of investments in tangible and intangible assets (excluding right-of-use assets recognised over the period in accordance with IFRS 16) and financial and tax income and charges for operating activities.

Consolidated revenues amounted to €347.1 million, down by 21.4% compared to €441.4 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly as a result of the reduction in demand in the Covid pandemic scenario and to a lesser extent due to the mix and price effects.

The following table shows the breakdown by geographic area of Group revenues achieved in the first nine months of 2020, compared with the same period of the prior year.

Total Revenues 347,051 100.0% 441,409 100.0% (94,358) -21.4% -20.8%

The performance of revenues for the period is mainly determined by the economic effects caused by Covid-19, which, in the first three quarters of 2020, affected the markets in which the Group operates at different degrees of severity

and at different phases of time, as well as by the completion of the rollouts of fixed retail scanner and of important orders in the Transportation & Logistics sector in the previous year.

The EMEAI region ended as at 30 September 2020 with a 23.0% decrease in revenues compared to 30 September 2019. Although the Group's main market in the first quarter of 2020 was affected by an expected weak market, as well as by the completion of important roll-out contracts for fixed retail scanners, in the second quarter the decline recorded was more pronounced (-37.3%) due to the lock-down measures taken by Governments in Europe, while in the third quarter, signs of recovery were recorded, with a decrease of 17.4%, with an overall performance in Italy that was better than other Eurozone countries.

In the Americas, the Group's second market, the first nine months of 2020 recorded a reduction in demand, reaching - 27.8%, affected not only by the economic effects of the pandemic, but also by the conclusion of important long-term projects in the Transportation & Logistics segment.

However, during the period, the Asian markets, after the initial decrease of turnover in the first quarter of the year as a result of the pandemic, recorded substantial recovery, mainly driven by China, reaching growth of 4.3% (5.7% net FX) as at 30 September 2020, with a particularly positive performance in the second quarter where double-digit trends were achieved.

Gross Operating Margin was €160.1 million, 46.1% of turnover (49.9% as at 30 September 2019), decreasing by 27.3% compared to €220.0 million reported in the same period of the previous year, primarily due to the contraction in volumes and the price and mix effect, only partially offset by a reduction of material costs.

Operating and other costs, equal to €140.7 million, decreased by 14.7% compared to €165.0 million in the same period of 2019, due to a careful cost reduction plan implemented by the Management as a response to the economic situation. The actions adopted were aimed at making the cost structure more variable to minimise production inefficiencies linked to discontinuity of the activities and the low volumes, also adopting welfare support systems and flexibility tools. Operating costs as well as discretionary investments were postponed, while investments in R&D and strategic activities were reinforced pursuing the Group's strategy focused on innovation.

Research and development expenses decreased by 12.5%, to €41.2 million, reaching 11.9% on revenues compared to 10.7% in the first nine months of 2019, balancing efficiencies while strengthening development investments pursuing strategic goals. During the period, albeit in the difficult market context, the total research and development spending, gross of capital expenditure, increased from €48.4 million to €49.2 million, reaching 14.2% on turnover, compared to 11.0% reported in the same period of 2019, increasing by 3.2 percentage points. Thanks to its equity and financial soundness, the Group was able to confirm, even in a short-term recessionary scenario, the strategic investments in the development of new products and solutions, aimed at strengthening and innovating its offer.

Distribution expenses amounted to €71.2 million, down by 20.1% compared to the previous period (€89.1 million in the first nine months of 2019), 20.5% of revenues, due to the reduction in volumes, but also thanks to the efficiencies achieved in costs of sales and distribution as well as in marketing costs also as consequence of the renewed sales organization model.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €37.2 million (€71.1 million in the first nine months of 2019), a decrease of 47.7%; the Adjusted EBITDA margin as at 30 September 2020 stood at 10.7%, compared to 16.1% recorded in the first nine months of 2019. Margin trends recorded over the period, constantly growing on a quarterly basis, reflected on the one hand the contraction in volumes and the price effects, due to scenario that arose following the spread of Covid-19 pandemic

and to the less favourable sales mix, partially offset by relevant efficiencies achieved on fixed costs, in particular in the second and third quarter of the year.

EBIT stood at €8.2 million, compared to €50.0 million in the same period of the previous year, as a result of the trends described above and of not-recurring expenses mainly attributable to the reorganization of the Group following the pandemic and the sale of Solution Net Systems Inc. segment.

Financial Income/(Expenses), a negative amount of €6.0 million, was down by €6.1 million compared to the first nine months of 2019, mainly due to the adverse performance of the exchange differences, a negative amount of €4.4 million (a positive amount of €1.5 million as at 30 September 2019), and the negative fair value recorded on the cash investments, partially offset by the income from the non-strategic equity investments.

Nine months ended
30.09.2020 30.09.2019
Restated Change
Financial Income/(Expenses) (1,877) (572) (1,305)
Foreign exchange gains/losses (4,361) 1,543 (5,904)
Bank expenses (639) (938) 299
Others 894 45 849
Total Financial Income/(Expenses) (5,983) 78 (6,061)

Net profit for the period amounted to €4.6 million (€39.7 million as at 30 September 2019) thanks to the recovery of margins in the second and third quarters of the year achieved thanks to the control and cost reduction plan.

Total Revenues 335,902 100% 428,563 100.0% (92,661) -21.6% -21.1%

Retail

The Retail segment, the main segment for the Group with 42.5% of divisional turnover (39.9% as at 30 September 2019), recorded an overall decrease of 16.6% compared to the same period of last year, with a stronger slowdown in EMEAI and the Americas (both -17.4%) but less of a slowdown in APAC (-7.1%). The segment was penalised by the conclusion of roll-outs in the fixed retail scanner segment of some Retail chains, which began in 2018 and was progressively completed in 2019, and by the reduction in volumes caused by the Covid-19 scenario, that have impacted the business through channels and the development of new customers in EMEAI and the United States respectively.

Manufacturing

The Manufacturing segment experienced a smaller decrease compared to the other sectors, equal to 8.5% compared to 30 September 2019. The performance in 2020 was driven by double-digit growth in APAC , especially in the second and third quarters of the year in the consumer electronics segment, which offsets the ongoing negative trend in the Americas and EMEAI, where the slowdown in the automotive and packaging sectors persist, although in the third quarter of 2020 signs of recovery were recorded in both markets.

Transportation & Logistics

The Transportation & Logistics sector reported a decrease of 33.9%, compared to the same period of 2019, with a negative performance, especially in North America, which reflects the unfavourable comparison with the first nine months of 2019, following the completion of long-term projects. However, the second and third quarters of the year showed signs of recovery both in EMEAI and in APAC.

Healthcare

The Healthcare sector recorded an overall decrease of 11.3%, particularly in EMEAI (-12.5%), and in the Americas (- 11.9%). The performance of the APAC area was substantially stable.

Channel

Sales through the distribution channel to small and medium-sized customers decreased by 36.6% compared to the same period of 2019, with a decline in all geographical areas, mainly due to the slowdown in second quarter activities following Covid-19. In the third quarter of the year there was a reversal in the trend both in EMEAI and in the Americas although still negative compared to the previous period.

INFORMATICS DIVISION

In the first nine months of 2020, the Informatics Division recorded a turnover of €12.1 million (€13.7 million in the same period of 2019) down by 11.9% compared to the same period of previous year. Adjusted EBITDA in the division achieved balance, down by €0.7 million compared to the same period of 2019, following the reduction in volumes which affected the US market, especially in the segment of small and medium-sized companies.

GROUP RECLASSIFIED ECONOMIC RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER

Net Profit/(Loss) for the period 4,573 3.9% 14,427 9.6% (9,854) -68.3% -68.3%

In the third quarter of 2020, revenues decreased by 22.2% compared to 30 September 2019, reaching €116.6 million (€150.0 million as at 30 September 2019) as a result of the persistence of the negative economic situation caused by

the spread of Covid-19, especially in the USA, where the reversal of the trend recorded in Asia and Europe was not yet reflected on the performance of the third quarter.

Despite the significant reduction in turnover, the Adjusted EBITDA stood at €18.8 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.2%, substantially in line with the same period of the previous year, when it was 16.9%. Thanks to the cost control and reduction plan implemented by Management to deal with the negative economic situation caused by Covid, there was a significant recovery in gross operating margins compared to the second quarter of 2020, totalling 6.2 percentage points.

Net profit for the quarter amounted to €4.6 million, an improvement compared to the result achieved in the first two quarters of the year, albeit down compared to the third quarter of 2019.

The performance of the third quarter of 2020 showed an inversion of the trend, particularly in EMEAI, the Group's main market which, albeit still at lower levels than in the same period of 2019 (-17.4%), recovered the decrease in volumes recorded in the second quarter of the year (-37.3%) during the full lockdown phase. The progressive growth of the APAC

(+2.5% and 6.3% net FX) continues, while in the last quarter the Americas (-36.9%) saw the greatest contraction in all sectors since the beginning of the year.

DATALOGIC DIVISION

In the third quarter of 2020, the Datalogic Division reported revenues of €112.7 million, down in aggregate by 22.8% (20.4% net FX) compared to the same period of 2019. The geographical courses of Datalogic division reflect the trend described for the Group with APAC growing, EMEAI recovering compared to second quarter, even if negative, and Americas in sharp contraction compared to previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA related to the division amounted to €18.7 million, down by 25.9% compared to the same quarter of 2019, 16.6% of revenues, compared to 17.3% recorded in the third quarter of 2019. The cost reduction plan implemented from the second quarter of the year in response to the negative economic situation continued to generate positive results also in the third quarter of the year, allowing a recovery of 6 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2020, and of 10.6 percentage points overall compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Below is the breakdown by industry of the Datalogic Division's revenues:

Retail

The Retail segment continues to suffer from the postponement of investments in the Covid-19 scenario, mainly in Americas, recording a decrease of 25.3% compared to the same quarter of last year.

Manufacturing

The Manufacturing segment decreased by 8.8% compared to the same quarter of 2019. The double digit recovery in APAC, particularly driven by consumer electronics segment, partially offset the contraction in Americas and EMEAI, suffering the decrease in the automotive segment.

Transportation & Logistics

The Transportation & Logistics sector recorded a 33.2% decrease, compared to the third quarter of 2019, with a performance showing slight growth in APAC, but still negative in EMEAI and in the Americas, which report an unfavourable comparison with the previous year following the conclusion of some multi-annual projects and the delay of on-site activities due to lockdown.

Healthcare

The Healthcare sector recorded a decrease of 8.5% compared to 2019 despite the growth in EMEAI and APAC, which do not offset the contraction in the North American market.

Channel

Sales through the distribution channel to small and medium-sized customers recorded an overall decrease of 25.9% in the quarter compared to the same quarter of 2019, as a consequence of destocking of distributors with a recovering performance in EMEAI, although not at the levels of 2019.

INFORMATICS DIVISION

The Informatics Division recorded turnover of €4.2 million, down by 4.3% compared to the third quarter of 2019. The Division's EBITDA was a positive €0.1 million, slightly down compared to the same quarter of 2019.

Shareholders' Equity (372,048) (404,171) 32,123 -7.9%
Net financial position (NFP) (39,871) 13,363 (53,234) -398.4%

The Trade Working Capital as at 30 September 2020 was €88.6 million, increased comparted to 31 December 2019. The change was determined by the reduction in trade receivables of €13.6 million linked to the sales performance, the lower trade exposure towards suppliers (€-46.3 million), due to the reduction in costs and volumes, and the decrease in inventories of €19.1 million, due to a careful inventory management.

Net Invested Capital, equal €411.9 million (€390.8 million as at 31 December 2019), increased by €21.1 million. The change is mainly attributable to the increase in net trade working capital, by €13.5 million as well as to the increase in fixed assets for €4.3 million following the investments in R&D and in the reorganisation of the global footprint within the scope of streamlining costs.

The Net Financial Position as at 30 September 2020 was negative by €39.9 million, recording a worsening of €20.4 million compared to 30 September 2019 (when it was negative by €19.5 million). The decrease in volumes and in margins, in a complex macroeconomic context in recession trend, led to the absorption of operating cash of €25.6 million in the first nine months of 2020, down by €23.6 million compared to €2.0 million in the same period of 2019. Thanks to careful working capital management and the cost reduction plan implemented in the first half of the year, despite the absorption of cash, the Group did not renounce strategic investments to support growth.

Changes in net financial debt due to financial cash flow, negative by €8.1 million, reported a worsening compared to the first nine months of 2019 due to the unfavourable exchange rates and the fair value of cash investments. Dividend distribution and the purchase of treasury shares absorbed cash for €23.8 million in 2020 (€31.3 million as at 30 September 2019).

Cash flows, which brought about the change in consolidated Net Financial Position as at 30 September 2020, are summarised as follows:

As at 30 September 2020, the net financial debt/(net financial position) is broken down as follows:

As at 30 September 2020, the Group had credit lines in place amounting to €314.4 million, of which €176.5 million unused including €100.0 million subscribed during the month of March 2020 for possible investments and €76.5 million short-term.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

COVID-19 UPDATE

As previously highlighted, 2020 was characterised by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, which severely influenced global macroeconomic performance and, also due to the restrictive measures adopted by the various governments, resulted in a contraction in demand in all the main geographic areas.

The healthcare emergency has not yet been resolved globally. At present, there is a second wave of the pandemic in various areas of the world, especially in Europe and the United States. Therefore, the context is still highly uncertain with reference to future possible developments of the pandemic, as well as to the effects on the economic system.

Since the beginning of the health emergency, the Group adopted the necessary measures to minimise the risk of contagion in order to safeguard safety of its employees, such as remote working, applying social distancing measures, adopting individual protective equipment and sanitation procedures for facilities, while ensuring business continuity and complying with the extraordinary legal measures imposed in the different jurisdictions.

The effects of the pandemic on the Group's performance became evident already in the first quarter and worsened in the second and third quarters in Europe and the United States respectively, which represent the Group's main markets, due to the restrictive measures imposed. In order to deal with this situation, as early as March, the Group adopted an action plan aimed at mitigating, as far as possible, the impact of the crisis and the consequent reduction in sales on results and equity and financial soundness, including the use of social safety nets and other forms of support for workers in the countries in which it operates.

Within the management of emergency, the measures initially adopted were reflected in a careful cost reduction plan which began to produce its first effects towards the end of the first half of the year, while limiting the impact of production inefficiencies linked to discontinuity of business and lower volumes; operating costs were reduced, as well as discretionary investments were postponed, without compromising those in R&D and strategic activities.

Taking account of the above-mentioned uncertain scenario, in drawing up this Interim Report, the Directors updated estimates to evaluate assets and liabilities in the financial statements, in order to reflect any possible impact from the Codiv-19 pandemic. Given the current uncertain context, the results achieved may differ from those reported.

With reference to potential liquidity risks, the Directors have highlighted that the Group continues to show a solid equity and financial structure, thanks to current liquidity reserves and credit lines that are available and still unused.

OTHER EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

In the first part of 2020, a reorganisation of the sales structure was launched in order to ensure oversight of the different types of end-user and partner customers along with the country's geographic location.

In March 2020, the Group subscribed an agreement for additional credit lines, totalling €100 million, still unused at the date of this report, aimed at supporting growth and investments.

On 27 May 2020, the Group finalised an investment in AWM Smart Shelf Inc., a company with registered office in California, specialised in artificial intelligence and computer vision, which operates in the Retail sector (both food and non-food) with self-checkout solutions (AWM Frictionless™), Automated Inventory Intelligence (Aii®), collection of demographic data and monitoring of the consumer behaviour, as well as the Retail Analytics Engine (RAE) software for in-store analysis and reporting.

On 4 June 2020, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved to distribute an ordinary unit dividend, gross of legal withholdings, of 30 cents per share, for an overall amount of €17.0 million.

On 24 July 2020, a majority stake equivalent to 85% of the share capital of the investee Solution Net Systems Inc., a noncore division of the Group, was sold to Architect Equity, an American investment fund. The investee is specialised in supplying and installing integrated solutions for the postal segment and distribution centres in the Retail sector. Simultaneously with the sale, an exclusive commercial agreement was signed with the company for the supply of Datalogic products, for the three-year period 2020-2023.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Nothing to report.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Encouraging signs of recovery are emerging in most geographies with a positive trend in the orders' intake in all areas. After the recovery in Asia which began already in the first half of the year, in the third quarter the European markets and partially the Americans experienced a reversal of the negative trend in most segments, although the Q3 financial performance does not yet reflect this ongoing improvement. In particular, the signs of recovery are seen in the more traditional segments and geographies for the Group. The reduced mobility induced by lockdowns has in fact made more difficult to develop new customers, particularly in the United States. These dynamics have accentuated the suffering of the Group's North American businesses compared to those in Europe and Asia.

The current economic situation led to the acceleration of some Group's reorganization processes with a particular focus on optimizing the sales structure and footprint. During the second and third quarter, the Group implemented cost reduction actions that made possible to flex a large part of fixed costs, reducing them proportionally to the decrease in turnover. Important projects for the rationalization of the locations have been launched and will continue in 2021. The measures taken have enabled the Group to return to profitability in the two central quarters of the year despite the drop in turnover.

In this unprecedented context, Datalogic, thanks to its sound capital structure has demonstrated its ability to promptly react to the changed scenario, not only by adopting measures aimed at protecting both business and profit, but continuing to invest for growth, focusing on innovation in its offer of products and services, in line with emerging market trends.

During the month of October, the worsening of the pandemic crisis brought new lockdown processes in many countries with possible negative consequences for the Group's reference markets. The impact of this possible slowdown in business to date cannot be estimated.

Despite the high degrees of uncertainty and in the absence of serious impacts resulting from the second pandemic wave, in the fourth quarter Datalogic expects a slight mitigation of the decline in turnover compared to previous quarters keeping margins substantially in line with the first nine months of 2020.

The address of the registered office is Via Candini, 2 - Lippo di Calderara (BO).

This Consolidated Interim Report as at 30 September 2020 includes the figures of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (defined hereinafter as the "Group"), as well as its minority interests in associates.

The publication of the Consolidated Interim Report as at 30 September 2020 of the Datalogic Group was authorised by resolution of the Board of Directors dated 12 November 2020.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1) General criteria

This Consolidated Interim Report was drawn up pursuant to Art. 154-ter of Legislative Decree no. 58 (T.U.F.) of 24 February 1998 and following amendments and supplements, as well as to the Consob's Issuer Regulation. This drafting criteria comply with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" providing the abbreviated notes required by this international accounting standard, supplemented to provide additional information, as necessary.

This Consolidated Interim Report must therefore be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, which were prepared in accordance with the IFRS accounting standards, endorsed by the European Union, approved at the Meeting of the Board of Directors held on 19 March 2020 and available in the section Investor Relations in the Group's website (www.Datalogic.com).

This Consolidated Interim Report is drawn up in thousands of Euro, which is the Group's "functional" and "presentation" currency.

2) Financial statements

The financial statements adopted are compliant with those required by IAS 1 and were used in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, in particular:

  • current and non-current assets, as well as current and non-current liabilities are disclosed separately in the Statement of Financial Position. current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are those set to be realised, sold or used during the Group's normal operational cycle; current liabilities are those whose extinction is envisaged during the Group's normal operating cycle or in the 12 months after the reporting date;

  • with regard to the Income Statement, cost and revenue items are disclosed based on grouping by function, as this classification was deemed more meaningful for comprehension of the Group's business result;
  • the Statement of Comprehensive Income presents the components that determine profit/(loss) for the period and the costs and revenues reported directly under shareholders' equity;
  • the Statement of Cash Flow is presented using the indirect method.

3) New accounting standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The following IFRS international accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been applied for the first time by the Group as from 1 January 2020:

  • On 31 October 2018, the IASB published the document "Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)". The document introduced an amendment in the definition of "material" included in the IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements e IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
  • On 22 October 2018, the IASB published the document "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)". Some clarifications are supplied in the document on the definition of business for a correct application of the IFRS 3 standard. The adoption of that amendment did not have any effects on the Group consolidated financial statements.
  • On 29 March 2018, the IASB published an amendment to the "References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards". The amendment is applicable to the annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Conceptual Framework sets out the fundamental concepts for financial reporting that guide the Board in developing IFRS Standards.
  • On 26 September 2019, the IASB issued the amendment entitled "Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform". It amends IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as well as IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

4) New accounting standards issued but still not in force

As at the date of preparation of this Consolidated Interim Report, some accounting standards illustrated in the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, to which reference should be made, had been issued but have not yet entered into force. The Group intends to adopt these standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they will enter into force.

Moreover, following the approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, amendments were made to the following standards, which were not yet in force:

  • On 28 May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment entitled "Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)". The document envisages for lessees to recognise Covid-19 related rent reductions without having to measure, through the analysis of contracts, whether the definition of lease modification of IFRS 16 is complied with. Directors do not expect any significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements due to the adoption of this amendment.
  • On 28 May 2020, the IASB published an amendment entitled "Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4)". The amendments allow for the temporary extension of the IFRS 9 application until 1 January 2023. These amendments will enter in force on 1 January 2021. Directors do not expect any significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements due to the adoption of this amendment.

5) Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Consolidated Interim Report in application of the FRS requires the directors to apply accounting principles and methodologies which, in certain circumstances, are based on valuations and estimates based on historical experience and assumptions that are assessed from time to time according to specific circumstances. The application of such estimates and assumptions affects the amounts related to revenues, costs, assets and liabilities, as well as contingent liabilities disclosed and any relevant information. With reference to possible impacts resulting from the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic on estimates made, reference is made to comments included in section "Covid-19 Updates", under Significant events during the period in the Report on Operations. The actual amounts of accounting items, for which these estimates and assumptions have been used, might be different from those reported due to the uncertainty characterising the assumptions and conditions on which estimates are based.

6) Consolidation area

On 24 July 2020, the sale of a majority interest equal to 85% of the share capital of the investee Solution Net Systems Inc. to the US fund Architect Equity was completed.

INFORMATION ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

ASSETS

Note 1. Tangible assets

Over the period, net investments amounted to €17,891 thousand, and depreciation amounted to €9,123 thousand, while the exchange rates were negative by €2,674 thousand. Details of the item as at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019 are as follows:

30.09.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Land 8,568 8,778 (210)
Buildings 45,194 31,820 13,374
Other assets 31,367 35,418 (4,051)
Assets in progress and payments on account 10,494 13,586 (3,092)
Total 95,623 89,602 6,021

The increase in the item "Buildings" is represented by the investments made for the reorganisation of the Group's global footprint as part of the plan to streamline and increase the efficiency of overheads.

The "Other assets" item as at 30 September 2020 includes the following categories: industrial equipment and moulds (€10,483 thousand), plant and machinery (€9,889 thousand), office furniture and machines (€8,485 thousand), general plants related to buildings (€1,276 thousand), commercial equipment and demo room (€679 thousand), maintenance on third-party assets (€410 thousand), light constructions (€96 thousand) and motor vehicles (€49 thousand).

The balance of item "Assets in progress and payments on account", equal to €10,494 thousand, is composed of the following: €6,406 thousand for investments made for the building and enlargement of Group plants, €3,329 thousand for moulds under construction and €681 thousand for self-manufactured equipment and production lines. The increase for the period is due primarily to investments in the headquarters in Germany (€1,535 thousand) and in the United States (€376 thousand), in addition to moulds under construction (€2,034 thousand) and self-manufactured equipment and production lines (€489 thousand).

Note 2. Intangible assets

Over the period, net investments were recognised for €15,002 thousand, and amortisation amounted to €8,108 thousand, while the exchange rates were negative by €7,842 thousand. Details of the item as at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019 are as follows:

30.09.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Goodwill 179,057 186,126 (7,069)
Development costs 11,039 9,927 1,112
Other 23,398 28,430 (5,032)
Assets in progress and payments on account 22,155 12,114 10,041
Total 235,649 236,597 (948)

Goodwill

"Goodwill", totalling €179,057 thousand, consisted of the following items:

30.09.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Datalogic CGU 166,008 172,642 (6,634)
Informatics CGU 13,049 13,483 (434)
Total 179,057 186,126 (7,068)

The change in "Goodwill", compared to 31 December 2019, is mainly attributable to translation differences. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units (CGUs) represented by the individual companies and/or the sub-groups to which they refer. The estimated recoverable value of each cash generating unit (CGU), associated with the goodwill subject to measurement, is represented by the corresponding value in use. Value in use was calculated by discounting the future cash flows generated by the CGU – during production and at the time of its disposal – to present value using a certain discount rate, based on the Discounted Cash Flow method. The cash flows of the individual cash generating units are estimated on the basis of the provisional plans drawn up by management. These plans represent the best estimate of foreseeable operating performance, based on business strategies and growth indicators in the sector to which the Group belongs and in its reference markets.

In light of the changed macroeconomic scenario which occurred in 2020 following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, on 30 June 2020, management updated its recoverability analyses of goodwill recorded, which were carried out at the end of the previous year through impairment testing approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit and Risk, Remuneration and Appointments Committees of Datalogic S.p.A. on 14 February 2020.

In particular, the impairment tests were updated on the basis of the 2020 forecasts, reflecting the available macroeconomic and industry forecasts in the estimates of the subsequent years of the plan. Sensitivity analyses and stress tests were also performed in multi-scenario assumptions on forecast data. The result of the aforesaid analyses highlighted no necessity for any write-downs, while showing positive margins, also in the most prudential scenario analyses.

Development costs, Other intangible assets and Assets in progress and payments on account

The "Development costs" item, amounting to €11,039 thousand, are composed of specific product development projects. The "Other" item, amounting to €23,398 thousand, consists primarily of intangible assets acquired through business combinations carried out by the Group in previous years, and software implementations. Details are shown below:

30.09.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Patents 11,326 14,184 (2,858)
Know-how 2,009 3,066 (1,057)

Software 7,922 8,098 (175)
Others 0 138 (138)
Total 23,398 28,430 (5,032)

The "Assets in progress and payments on account" item, equal to €22,155 thousand, is attributable, in the amount of €19,470 thousand, to the capitalisation of costs for product development projects that are currently underway, as well as, in the amount of €2,685 thousand, to software implementations that are not yet completed.

Note 3. Right-of-use assets

Over the period, recognised net investments amounted to €4,122 thousand, and depreciation amounted to €4,105 thousand, while the exchange rates were negative by €124 thousand. Details of the item as at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019 are shown below.

Note 12. Net deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result both from positive items already recognised in the income statement and subject to deferred taxation under current tax regulations and temporary differences between recorded assets and liabilities and their relevant taxable value.

Deferred tax assets are accounted for in compliance with the assumptions of future recoverability of the temporary differences from which they originated, i.e. on the basis of strategic plans of an economic and tax nature.

The temporary differences that generate deferred tax assets are mainly represented by tax losses and taxes paid abroad, provisions for risks and charges and exchange rate adjustments. Deferred tax liabilities are mainly attributable to temporary differences for exchange rate adjustments and statutory and tax differences of the amortisation/depreciation plans of tangible and intangible fixed assets.

Deferred tax assets 44,361 43,572 789
Deferred tax liabilities (17,161) (17,819) 658
Net deferred taxes 27,200 25,753 1,447

Change in deferred taxes is mainly due to the release of deferred taxes recognised on incomes become taxable over the year, represented by gains on exchange rates and dividends from investee companies, as well as by recognition of deferred tax assets over tax losses of Italian companies.

Deferred tax assets include assets related to receivables for taxes paid abroad, the recoverability of which is subject to time limits. Taking account of the impact of the current crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic and according to currently available information, the Group Management reviewed taxable income estimates in order to check the recoverability of recorded assets. From the outcome of analyses made, the Directors deemed that, to date, no recoverability risks are present.

Earnings/loss per share

As required by IAS 33, information on data used to calculate the earning/loss per share is provided below. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit and/or loss for the period, attributable to the shareholders of the Parent Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reference period. For the purposes of calculation of diluted EPS, the weighted average number of outstanding shares is determined assuming translation of all potential shares with a dilutive effects (such as the Share Plan), and the Group's net profit is adjusted for the posttax effects of translation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH SUBSIDIARIES THAT ARE NOT CONSOLIDATED LINE BY LINE, ASSOCIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

For the definition of "Related parties", see both IAS 24, approved by EC Regulation no. 1725/2003, and the Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties approved by the Board of Directors on 4 November 2010 (most recently amended on 24 July 2015), available on the Company's website www.datalogic.com. The Parent Company of the Datalogic Group is Hydra S.p.A.

Intercompany transactions are executed as part of the ordinary operations and at arm's length conditions. Furthermore, there are other relationships with related parties, always carried out as part of ordinary operations and at arm's length conditions, of an immaterial amount and in accordance with the "OPC Procedure", chiefly with Hydra S.p.A. or entities under joint control (with Datalogic S.p.A.), or with individuals that carry out the coordination and management of Datalogic S.p.A. (including entities controlled by the same and close relatives).

Related-party transactions refer chiefly to commercial and real estate transactions (instrumental and non-instrumental premises for the Group under lease or leased) and advisory activities as well as to companies joining the scope of tax consolidation. None of these assumes particular economic or strategic importance for the Group since receivables, payables, revenues and costs referred to the related parties are not a significant proportion of the total amount of the financial statements.

Pursuant to Art. 5, paragraph 8, of the Consob Regulations, it should be noted that, over the period 01.01.2020 – 30.09.2020, the Company's Board of Directors did not approve any relevant transaction, as set out by Art. 3, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Consob Regulations, or any transaction with minority related parties that had a significant impact on the Group's equity position or profit/(loss).

ANNEX 3

RESTATEMENT OF SEGMENT DISCLOSURE

As envisaged by the International Accounting Standards on segment reporting, in the event of a reorganisation of the business segments, the comparative periods are restated to allow a like-for-like comparison. Below are the restated results for the first nine months of 2019 following the reorganisation of the commercial function launched in 2020, in which some revenue allocation logics to geographical areas and business segments have been partially redefined to ensure coverage of the various types of end-user and partner customers, as well as geographical areas.

REVENUES BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Reported Restated
Retail 196,697 25,724 170,973
Manufacturing 118,116 29,046 89,070
Transportation & Logistics 58,290 26 58,264
Healthcare 15,000 1,826 13,174
Channel 40,460 (56,622) 97,082
Total Revenues 428,563 428,563

As part of the reorganisation of the sales function, the revenue allocation criteria were partially modified, assigning sales to the end-users of partner customers, and previously classified in the industries, according to a criterion of predominance of turnover as communicated by the distribution network, to the Channel sector. This category includes revenues not directly attributable to the other identified segments.

The new approach allows for an even more accurate measurement of the performance of the individual sectors, to which only the revenues relating to direct sales made to end-user customers based on their respective segment are attributed. The rationale behind the change in approach is guided by the desire to make the measurement of market trends of the individual sectors more accurate and prompter in order to strengthen the effectiveness and timeliness of the strategic decisions of go to market.
