During the first half of 2020, the Group reported revenues equal to €230.4 million, down by 20.9% compared to the same period of 2019 (-21.4% net FX). The Adjusted EBITDA stood at €18.4 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.0% (15.7% as at 30 June 2019).

In the first half of 2020, in an unprecedented economic context caused by the Covid-19, consolidated revenues fell in the main geographic areas, -25.5% in EMEAI and -22.5% in the Americas, while APAC recorded the first positive signs of

growth (+5.4%, with a second quarter that grew by 19.1%) thanks to the progressive easing of restrictive measures, which instead weighed on performance in Europe and the United States in particular in the second part of the semester.

Thanks to a specific cost saving plan, launched in the second quarter of the year, and despite the above-mentioned reduced volumes, the Group achieved a break-even result in the first half of the year (negative by €13 thousand), compared to €25.3 million profit in the same period of 2019.

As at 30 June 2020, the Net Financial Position was negative for €15.4 million, with an increase of €2.4 million compared to 30 June 2019 (negative by €17.8 million) and a decrease of €28.7 million compared to 31 December 2019 (positive by €13.4 million).

Excluding the recognition of cash and cash equivalents of the investee Solution Net Systems Inc. among the assets held for sale, the improvement in the net financial position would have been €5.1 million compared to the same period of 2019.

PERFORMANCE ALTERNATIVE INDICATORS (NON-GAAP MEASURES)

To allow for a better valuation of the Group's performance, management adopted certain alternative performance indicators that are not identified as accounting measures within IFRS (NON-GAAP measures). 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 Guidelines on Performance Indicators, 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 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 Trade 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 based on provisions set out by Consob Communication no. 15519 of 28 July 2006. This indicator includes also "Other financial assets" represented by temporary cash investments and financial liabilities for operating leases resulting from the application of the new IFRS 16 accounting standard.
  • Free Cash Flow: this indicator is calculated as cash flows 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.

segment, started in 2018, and the completion of long-term projects in the Transportation & Logistics segment. Subsequently, the restrictive measures resulting from the Covid, adopted first in APAC and then in Europe and North America, which had resulted in an initial phase of contraction in demand towards the end of the first quarter, intensified in the second half of the semester with the lockdown measures adopted by governments in Europe and America. Conversely, during first half of the year, Asian markets recorded a substantial recovery reaching a double-digit growth in the second quarter.

Gross Operating Margin was €105.9 million, 46.0% of turnover (49.9% in the first half of 2019), decreasing by 27.2% compared to €145.5 million reported in the same period of the previous year, primarily due to the contraction in volumes and the price and mix effect.

Operating and other costs, equal to €99.5 million, decreased by 9.7% compared to €110.2 million in the same period of 2019, due to a careful cost reduction plan implemented by the Management as a response to the contraction in the market. Measures adopted were aimed at making cost structure more flexible to minimize production inefficiencies related to the discontinuity of business activity and low volumes, also adopting social safety nets and flexibility tools. Operating costs as well as discretionary investments were deferred, while investments in R&D and strategic activities were reinforced pursuing the Group's strategy focused on innovation.

Research and development expenses decreased by 6.4%, to €29.2 million, reaching 12.7% on revenues compared to 10.7% in the first half of 2019, balancing efficiencies while strengthening investments pursuing strategic goals. During the half year, albeit in the difficult market context, the total research and development spending, gross of capital expenditure, increased from €32.1 million to €34.2 million, reaching 14.8% on revenues, compared to 11.0% reported in the same period of 2019, increasing by 3.8 percentage points. Thanks to its equity and financial fortress, the Group was able to maintain, 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 €51.1 million, down by 14.6% compared to the previous period (€59.9 million in the first half of 2019), 22.2% of revenues, as a result of the efficiencies achieved in APAC and EMEAI on sales and distribution as well as in marketing costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was €18.4 million (€45.8 million in the first half of 2019) and showed 7.7% decrease as percentage on revenue, dropping to 8.0% compared to 15.7% recorded in the first half of 2019. Margin trend recorded over the period reflected 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 efficiencies achieved on fixed costs.

EBIT stood at €0.3 million, compared to €32.1 million in the same period of the previous year, as a result of the trends described above.

Net result of assets held for sale, represented by the investee Solution Net Systems Inc., was positive for €0.4 million, compared to €1.4 million in the first half of 2019.

Net result of the first half of the year at break-even, with a net loss of €13 thousand (net profit of €25.3 million as at 30 June 2019).

The geographical area that mostly suffered from the market decline was EMEAI, where the division achieved 44.1% of turnover in the second quarter of 2020, compared to 51.6% in the same period of 2019, declining by 37.3%. The contribution from the Americas to Group's turnover was stable at 35.4%, where the decrease (-27.2%) was more limited compared to Europe, also due to the timing difference in implementing Covidrelated restrictive measures. Very positive recovery signs were reported in APAC, with a double-digit increase in turnover (19.1%).

Adjusted EBITDA related to the division amounted to €11.4 million, down by 53.4% compared to the same quarter of 2019, 10.6% percentage of revenues, compared to 16.7% recorded in the second quarter of 2019. The cost saving plan, implemented to face the negative scenario, has obtained the first results in the second quarter of the year, while allowing a recovery of 4.6 percentage points, compared to the first quarter of 2020, in the division margins.

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

Retail

The Retail sector decreased in aggregate by 18.5%, compared to the same quarter of last year, with a slowdown in all geographical areas: APAC (-19.8%), EMEAI (-19.1%) and the Americas (-17.5%), where, due to the lockdown, the Retail chains postponed investments.

Manufacturing

The Manufacturing sector decreased by 8.8% compared to the same quarter of 2019. The recovery of APAC (+57.9%), in fact, has partially offset the slowdown recorded in the Americas (-45.6%) and in EMEAI (-26.2%), specially determined by the automotive sector.

Transportation & Logistics

The Transportation & Logistics sector recorded a 33.7% decrease, compared to the second quarter of 2019, albeit recording an improvement of around 6 percentage points over the first quarter of 2020, with a stable performance in APAC (+0.4%), negative in EMEAI (-30.8%) and in the Americas (-43.9%), which report an unfavourable comparison with the previous year following the conclusion of some multi-annual projects and the impossibility of completing on-site activities during lockdown.

Healthcare

The Healthcare sector recovered well in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of the year, where a decrease of 17.7% was recorded, reporting a slight decrease (-2.4%) compared to 2019 thanks to the growth in America (+8.7%), which counts for 57.0% of total revenues in the sector. This offset the 6.4% fall in EMEAI.

Channel

The sales through the distribution channel to small and medium-sized customers recorded a 50.5% decrease compared to the same quarter of 2019, where the EMEAI region resulted strongly hit by the unfavourable markets and the lockdown. Meanwhile, the Americas recorded -30.3% and APAC +5.5% thanks to the release of restrictive measures.

INFORMATICS DIVISION

The Informatics Division worsened in the second quarter of 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, mitigated by positive performances recorded in the first part of the year, where the adoption of a new business model in the "Software as a Service" segment led to growing margins. Turnover stood at €3.7 million, down by 26.6% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Divisional EBITDA was negative by €0.3 million (positive by €0.6 million in the second quarter of 2019).

GROUP RECLASSIFIED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE PERIOD

Net Trade Working Capital 66,144 75,095 (8,951) -11.9%

Other current liabilities and current Provisions for risks (73,111) (78,218) 5,107 -6.5%
Net Working Capital 41,064 46,222 (5,158) -11.2%
Other non-current liabilities (33,786) (34,571) 785 -2.3%
Post-employment benefits (6,852) (7,026) 174 -2.5%
Non-current Provisions for risks (4,592) (4,916) 324 -6.6%
Net Invested Capital 394,073 390,808 3,265 0.8%
Shareholders' Equity (378,690) (404,171) 25,481 -6.3%
Net financial position (NFP) (15,383) 13,363 (28,746) -215.1%

As at 30 June 2020, the Net Trade Working Capital was amounting at €66.1 million, substantially unchanged in terms of percentage of turnover (12.6% compared to 12.3% as at 31 December 2019) improving of 1.3 percentage points compared to 13.3% in the first half of 2019. The working capital decreased by € 9.0 million, compared to 31 December 2019, following the reduction in trade receivables of €21.3 million linked to sales performance and the lower commercial exposure to suppliers due to reduction in costs and volumes. The contribution of inventories to the working capital remained unchanged, although increasing as a percentage of turnover compared to the previous periods, aimed at ensuring continuity in the supply chain (primarily in APAC), in a still uncertain scenario in terms of evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures in the second half of the year.

Net Invested Capital, equal €394.1 million (€390.8 million as at 31 December 2019), increased by €3.3 million. The change is mainly attributable to the decrease in net working capital, by €5.2 million, which benefits from the decrease in other net assets and liabilities, mainly related to VAT and payables to employees as well as the increase in fixed assets for €7.1 million for ongoing investments in R&D and in production facilities.

The Net Financial Position as at 30 June 2020 was negative by €15.4 million, improving by €2.4 million compared to 30 June 2019 (when it was negative by €17.8 million). Excluding the recognition of cash and cash equivalents of the investee Solution Net Systems Inc. among the assets available for sale, the improvement of the net financial position would have been €5.1 million.

Despite the decline in volumes and partly in margins, in this unprecedented macroeconomic context, positive operating cash flow was generated in an amount of €1.3 million in the first half of 2020, an improvement compared to €0.4 million for the same period of 2019, despite higher investments in R&D, offset by reduction in operating costs. Changes in net financial debt due to financial cash flow, negative by €3.1 million, reported a worsening compared to the first half of 2019 due to the less favourable exchange rates and the fair value of cash equivalents investments, but were offset by a lower cash absorption of other operating assets and liabilities. Dividend distribution and the purchase of treasury shares absorbed cash for €23.8 million in 2020 (€31.3 million in the same half of 2019).

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

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had credit lines in place amounting to €314.4 million, of which €177.8 million unused including €100.0 million subscribed during the month of March 2020 for possible investments and €77.8 million shortterm.

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, resulting in a contraction in demand and a progressive slowdown of the market.

The health emergency has not yet been resolved on a global level, and the epidemic is currently reaching a peak in various parts of the world, such as the United States, South America and India. Therefore, there remains still highly uncertain with reference to future possible developments of the pandemic, as well as to possible second waves of the infection in Autumn and related repercussions on the economic environment.

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 half of the semester due to the lockdown adopted in Europe first and then in the United States, which represent the Group's main market. 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 structure, 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 low volumes; operating costs were reduced, as well as discretionary investments were postponed, without compromising those in R&D and strategic activities.

This plan may be updated in the medium term as the emergency situation evolves and the markets respond, in order to maintain profitability and cash flow.

Taking account of the above-mentioned uncertain scenario, in drawing up this Half-Year Financial 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

A reorganisation of the commercial structure was launched in the first part of 2020, in order to ensure a better coverage of the different types of end-user and partner customers, alongside the geographical country based.

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 of USD 2.5 million 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.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 24 July 2020, a majority stake equivalent to 85% of the share capital of the investee Solution Net Systems Inc. was sold to Architect Equity, an American investment fund. The investee, a non-core division of the Group, is specialised in supplying and installing integrated solutions for the postal segment and distribution centres in the Retail sector. The countervalue of the transaction amounted to around USD 4 million, subject to price adjustments. 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. In the first six months of 2020, Solution Net Systems recorded revenues equal to €10.6 million, compared to €14.5 million of the first half of 2019, and a profit for the period of €0.5 million, compared to €1.4 million related to the same period of the previous year. As at 30 June, the Net Financial Position was positive for €2.6 million.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Currently the elements on which 2020 forecasts were based remain very uncertain. The evolution of the pandemic, the authorities' measures on recovery and support for economy, as well as the reaction of the markets in a recessionary environment, lead to negative growth forecasts for the third quarter of 2020, in line with the performances achieved in the second quarter.

While the progressive easing of restrictive measures in Asia, especially in the second quarter of the year, produced encouraging signs of recovery with a double-digit growth, there are still several critical issues, although with a different degree of severity, in Europe, but especially on the American continent, which represent the Group's primary markets.

In this unprecedented context, Datalogic, strong of its equity and financial soundness, 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 in investing for growth, focusing on innovation in its offer of products and services, in line with emerging market trends.

The sale of the Solution Net Systems Division, operating in a Datalogic non-core segment of System Integrators, as well as investments in products and markets that are deemed as strategic and the reduction of discretionary operating costs, should allow the Group to maintain its market position at the end of the Covid-19 emergency. Although considers it

inevitable that the persistence of the economic situation, the high degree of uncertainty about the pandemic's evolution and its possible resurgence in the second half of the year may have a negative effect on the results for 2020, slowing down the expected recovery in the first months of 2021, Datalogic is confident that, with the easing of the current emergency situation, the solid fundamentals and the focus on innovation, the Group will be able to return to growth over the medium and long term.

This Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report as at 30 June 2020 includes the figures of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (defined hereinafter as the "Group") and its minority interests in associates.

The publication of the Half-Year Financial Report ended 30 June 2020 of the Datalogic Group was authorised by resolution of the Board of Directors dated 5 August 2020.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1) General criteria

This Half-Year Financial Report was drawn up pursuant to Art. 154-ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58 (TUF) of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended and supplemented, as well as to Consob Issuer Regulation. This Half-Year Financial Report complies with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" providing the abbreviated notes required by this international accounting standard, supplemented to provide additional information, as necessary.

This Half-Year Financial 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).

These Half-Year Financial Statements are 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 issued 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 issued 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 this amendment had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
  • On 29 March 2018, the IASB issued an amendment to "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". This document 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

At the reporting date of this Half-Year Financial Report, some accounting criteria were issued but are not yet applicable, as described in the Group Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2019, to which reference is made. 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 reductions in 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 issued 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 IFRS-compliant Half-Year Financial Report requires directors to apply accounting standards and methodologies that, in some cases, are based on valuations and estimates, which in turn refer to historic experience and assumptions based on specific circumstances at any given time. 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 "Updates on Covid-19", under significant events for 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

During the first half of 2020, no changes occurred in the consolidation area.

Assets in progress and payments on account 16,986 13,586 3,400
Total 89,704 89,602 102

The "Other assets" item as at 30 June 2020 includes the following categories: Plant and machinery (€10,742 thousand), Industrial equipment and moulds (€10,677 thousand), Office furniture and machines (€8,755 thousand), General plants related to buildings (€1,341 thousand), Commercial equipment and demo room (€774 thousand), Maintenance on thirdparty assets (€480 thousand) and Motor vehicles (€56 thousand).

Note 2. Intangible assets

Consolidated Half-Year Financial Report as at 30 June 2020

Goodwill

"Goodwill", totalling €186,688 thousand, consisted of the following items:

30.06.2020 31.12.2019 Change
CGU Datalogic 173,170 172,642 528
CGU Informatics 13,518 13,483 34
Total 186,688 186,126 562

The change in "Goodwill", compared to 31 December 2019, is mainly attributable to translation differences. This Goodwill has been allocated to the CGUs (Cash Generating Units) corresponding to the individual companies and/or sub-groups to which they pertain. The estimated recoverable value of each CGU, associated with each Goodwill item measured, consists of its corresponding value in use. Value in use is 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 CGUs are estimated based on forwardlooking plans prepared 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, occurred in 2020 following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Management has 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 Management, Remuneration and Appointments Committees of Datalogic S.p.A. on 14 February 2020.

In particular, impairment tests were updated based on 2020 forecasts, while reflecting in the plan the available macroeconomic and sector estimates for the following years. Sensitivity analyses and stress tests were also performed in multi-scenario assumptions on provisional 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 €10,855 thousand, is composed of specific product development projects. The "Other" item, amounting to €25,505 thousand, consists primarily of intangible assets acquired through business combinations carried out by the Group and software implementations. Details are shown in the following table:

30.06.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Patents 12,427 14,184 (1,757)
Know-how 2,386 3,066 (680)

Software 8,096 8,098 (2)
Others 0 138 (138)
Total 25,505 28,430 (2,924)

The "Assets in progress and payments on account" item, equal to €18,463 thousand, is attributable, in the amount of €15,687 thousand, to the capitalisation of costs for product development projects that are currently underway, as well as, in the amount of €2,775 thousand, to software implementations that are not yet completed.

Over the period, net investments amounted to €3,554 thousand, and depreciation amounted to €2,750 thousand, while the exchange rates were negative by €52 thousand. Details of the item as at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019 are as follows:

Fair value – hierarchy

All the financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in the three categories defined below:

Level 1: market prices;

Level 2: valuation techniques (based on observable market data);

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 based on assumptions of the future recoverability of the temporary differences that originated them, which is based on economic and fiscal strategic plans.

Temporary differences that generate deferred tax assets are mainly tax losses and taxes paid abroad, provisions for risk and charges and foreign exchange rate translation. Deferred tax liabilities are mainly due to temporary differences for adjustments to exchange rates and statutory and fiscal differences of amortisation/depreciation plans related to tangible and intangible assets.

The total of net deferred taxes is broken down as follows:

30.06.2020 31.12.2019 Change
Deferred tax assets 47,305 43,572 3,733
Deferred tax liabilities (17,246) (17,819) 573
Net deferred taxes 30,059 25,753 4,306

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.

Note 22. Earnings/loss per share

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 effect (such as the Share Plan), and the Group's net profit is adjusted for the post-tax 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 – 30.06.2020, 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 regarding segment disclosure, in the case of reorganisation of business segments, comparative periods are restated to allow for a uniform comparison. Below are the restated results for the first half 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.

Retail 129,500 24,150 105,350

Healthcare 10,029 753 9,276
Channel 29,679 (47,051) 76,730
Total Revenues 282,581 282,581

Within the reorganisation of the commercial function, the revenue allocation criteria were partially modified, by allocating to the Channel segment a portion of the sales made to end-users of partner customers and previously classified under the industry segment according to a turnover prevalence criterion, as communicated by the distribution network. 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 individual segments, to which only revenues from direct sales to end-user customers are attributed according to the segment to which they belong. The rationale of the change in approach is based on the desire to make the measurement of market trends in individual sectors more accurate and timelier, in order to strengthen the effectiveness and timeliness of strategic go to market decisions.
