The Group's gross industrial margin increased in absolute terms compared to the first half of the previous year (+9.5%), equal to 30.6% of net turnover (31.3% as of 30 June 2018).

Income taxes for the period are estimated at ¤28.3 million, equivalent to 45% of profit before tax.

Two-wheeler vehicles can mainly be grouped into two product segments, scooters and motorcycles. In addition to the related spare parts and accessories business, the sale of engines to third parties, involvement in main twowheeler sports championships and technical service.
The world two-wheeler market comprises two macro areas, which clearly differ in terms of characteristics and scale of demand: economically advanced countries (Europe, United States, Japan) and emerging nations (Asia Pacific, China, India, Latin America).
In the first macro area, which is a minority segment in terms of volumes, the Piaggio Group has a historical presence, with scooters meeting the need for mobility in urban areas and motorcycles for recreational purposes.
In the second macro area, which in terms of sales accounts for most of the world market and is the Group's target for expanding operations, two-wheeler vehicles are the primary mode of transport.
India, the most important two-wheeler market, reported a decrease in the first six months of 2019, closing with sales of nearly 9.7 million vehicles, down by 10.4% compared to the first half of 2018.
The People's Republic of China recorded a considerable loss in the first six months of 2019 (-18.4%), closing at approximately 2.9 million vehicles sold.
Data available on the Asian area, called Asean 5, report a growth of over 3%, with sales closing at over 6.7 million units. Indonesia, the main market in this area, reported a 7.5% increase in the first half of 2019, with over 3.2 million vehicles sold. The number of vehicles registered in Vietnam decreased slightly (1,503,450 million units sold; -5.3% compared to the first half of 2018).

Asia
The most important motorcycle market in Asia is India, which reported sales of nearly 6.4 million vehicles in the first half of 2019, with a decrease compared to the first six months of 2018 (-7.5%).
The motorcycle market in the Asean 5 area is far less important than the scooter sector: sales of motorcycles in Vietnam were not significant.
Commercial Vehicles The regulatory framework
During the first half of 2019, the Piaggio Group sold a total of 215,900 two-wheeler vehicles worldwide, accounting for a net turnover equal to approximately ¤583.4 million, including spare parts and accessories (¤67.5 million, +5.0%).
The overall growth in both volumes (+5.9%) and turnover (+12.1%) was mainly due to the good performance of Asia Pacific (+20.2% volumes; +28.8% turnover). In India, the slight decrease in volumes (- 4.7%) was offset by an increase in turnover of 2.3%, due to the effect of a better mix of sold products (+1.7% with constant exchange rates). Both volumes and turnover increased in EMEA and the Americas (+4.6% and +9.4% respectively).
On the European market, the Piaggio Group achieved a 13.4% share in the first half of 2019, compared to 13.5% in the first half of 2018, confirming its leadership position in the scooter segment (24.4% in the first half of 2019 compared to 25.6% in the first half of 2018).

Commercial Vehicles The regulatory framework
During 2018, the European Commission started consultations on the presentation of proposed legislation for new Euro 5 noise limits. After the study published in November 2017, in favour of a drastic reduction in noise limits, the Commission requested a second study and at the same time a second cost/benefits analysis of a possible reduction in noise limits for category L vehicles. The start of the study, scheduled for June 2019, has been postponed to September 2019 and publication is expected for September 2020. The legislation proposed by the Commission will therefore be presented before the end of 2020.
In the last two years, European manufacturers of ACEM, the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, have worked on defining a strategy to offset the possibility of a considerable reduction in noise limits, that would have a major impact in terms of higher production costs. This strategy involved defining a new noise test procedure (ASEP 2.0 "Additional Sound Emission Provisions"), with some of the more technical aspects still to be determined. The aim of the new procedure is to test vehicles without diverging from real road driving conditions. Moreover, a more holistic approach to noise was defined, which takes into account the practice of motorcyclists replacing original exhausts, necessary controls on the road, and different riding styles.
The United Kingdom should leave the European Union before the end of 31 October 2019.
To enable manufacturers of motorcycles and mopeds holding a UK type approval to continue to register and sell these vehicles after Brexit, Regulation (EU) 2019/26, approved in January 2019, gives manufacturers the chance to request a switch from UK type approval to a new type approval granted by an approval authority of one of the EU27.
Negotiations are still underway concerning the new proposed Directive on motor vehicle insurance. The dossier has been examined by the Romanian Presidency of the European Union and the industry is closely monitoring the legal process and deciding on possible proposals for exemption, in particular for motorsports vehicles and off-traffic situations. Moreover, the possibility of introducing mandatory insurance for ebikes is being considered. The proposal should be finalised by autumn 2019.
At present, the obligation to use ABS only applies to L3 category vehicles, with the exception of 125cc vehicles. Article 79 of the Framework Regulation (EU) 168/2013, requires the European Commission to submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council by 31 December 2019 assessing the need to extend this obligation to the L3e-A1 (125cc) subcategory. To this end, the Commission requested a study in June 2019 on the feasibility of making ABS mandatory for these vehicles. The study is based on an assessment of the technical feasibility of a similar requirement, on analysis of the cost/benefits ratio, analysis of road accidents and consultation with parties concerned. Based on the results, the Commission will evaluate the possibility of finalising the proposed legislation. ACEM is closely following the matter, with a view to contributing to the study underway, and to ensuring a sufficient lead time for manufacturers that is sufficient to assess the impact of this obligation and equip their vehicles with advanced braking systems.
Commercial Vehicles The regulatory framework
With a growing focus on electric mobility and increasing use of new, zero-emission vehicles, the topic of batteries and their environmental sustainability has recently come to the attention of the public and consequently of institutions. In June 2019 the European Commission launched a public consultation to obtain feedback from stakeholders in support of proposed legislation introducing new rules and standards to ensure the placing on the market of high performance, safe and sustainable batteries. The Commission's proposal will probably be presented at the end of 2019, and will concern crucial aspects for the electric mobility sector, in which Piaggio has important current and future interests.
As regards cars and light commercial vehicles, in 2018 revision of the General Vehicle Safety Regulation (GVSR) got underway. European institutions reached an agreement on the new Regulation in April 2019. The revision introduces the obligation to use new active safety devices ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and non-ADAS for light commercial vehicles. As regards passive safety, the new GVSR extends the scope of some Regulations (including ECE94 for moderate overlap tests and ECE95 for side impact tests) to category N1 vehicles, previously exempt from these obligations, and technical application rules for front, side and rear crash tests, as well as any exemptions, are also being defined. The Piaggio Group, together with national and international trade associations, is taking an active part in the negotiations which are being held in Geneva and at European level, with a view to promoting rules for application which are not detrimental to Piaggio's vehicles concerned.
In April 2019, the Ministry for Economic Development published the Decree implementing the Ecobonus. From 6 April to 31 December 2019, government incentives to scrap vehicles for the purchase of electric or hybrid twowheelers will be in force. The Ministry has allocated ¤10 million for category L vehicles for 2019. The vehicle scrapping programming concerns Euro 0/1/2/3 vehicles, with a government incentive equal to 30% the purchase price of the new vehicle, excluding VAT, up to a maximum of ¤3,000. Thanks to action taken by the Piaggio Group together with the trade association ANCMA, the Ministry for Economic Development has confirmed the possibility to scrap all category L vehicles, as well as vehicles registered in the name of the one of the family members of the person receiving the incentive.
The Molteni Bill amending the Highway Code was presented to parliament. The Bill's proposals include the possibility for 125cc motorcycles to transit on motorways if ridden by persons aged 18 and over. Negotiations are underway and should be completed by the end of 2019.
Commercial Vehicles The regulatory framework
In June 2019, the Ministry for Transport published the ministerial decree authorising the trial of so-called "micromobility devices". The ruling grants applicant local authorities 24 months to trial the use of these devices, also through sharing services. The use of four categories of devices has been authorised (monowheel, hoverboard, segway and scooters), on three types of routes (pedestrian, cycle paths and 30 km/h zones). The main requirements are: minimum age of 18 or holder of an AM licence - maximum speed of 20 km/h (in pedestrian areas 6 km/h) - no seating arrangements - CE marking pursuant to the Directive 2006/42/EC.
The local authorities of Milan and Turin are working on starting the trial in the next few months.
Some European capitals have limited the use of these devices as they have come to the attention of the media due to recent accidents. One example is the Paris city council which has imposed a tax on owners of segways, regulating their use and introduced more stringent road controls to reduce uncontrolled transit in the metropolitan area.


Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks
Due to the nature of its business, the Group is exposed to different types of risks. To mitigate exposure to these risks, the Group has adopted a structured and integrated system to identify, measure and manage company risks, in line with industry best practices (i.e. CoSO ERM). Scenarios applicable to Group operations were mapped, involving all organisational units. These scenarios were then grouped as referring to external, strategic, financial or operational risk.
During the first half of 2019, the campaign to update the risk assessment analysis involving newly appointed company managers was completed.
To mitigate any negative effects arising from the macroeconomic and geopolitical context, the Piaggio Group continued its strategic vision, diversifying operations at international level - in particular in Asia where growth rates of economies are still high, and consolidating the competitive positioning of its products. To achieve this, the Group focuses on research activities, and in particular on the development of engines with a low consumption and a low or zero environmental impact.
As regards Great Britain's decision to leave the European Community, the Group considers the effects on global sales and profitability as negligible. In fact, the Group's turnover on the British market accounts for around 2% of total turnover.
Piaggio's success depends on its ability to manufacture products that cater for consumer's tastes and can meet their needs for mobility. Levering customer expectations and emerging needs, with reference to its product range and customer experience, is essential for the Group to maintain a competitive edge.
Through market analysis, focus groups, concept and product testing, investments in research and development and sharing a roadmap with suppliers and partners, Piaggio can seize emerging market trends to renew its own product range.
Customer feedback enables Piaggio to evaluate customer satisfaction levels and fine tune its own sales and aftersales service model.
Over the last few years, the characteristics and dynamics of the competitive background of markets on which the Group operates have changed considerably, above all regarding prices, also due to a declining demand worldwide. In addition, the Group is exposed to the actions of competitors that, through technological innovation or replacement products, could obtain products with better quality standards and streamline costs, offering products at more competitive prices.
Piaggio has tried to tackle this risk, which could have a negative impact on the financial position and performance of the Group, by manufacturing high quality products that are innovative, cost-effective, reliable and safe, and by consolidating its presence in Asia.
Numerous national and international laws and regulations on safety, noise levels, consumption and the emission of pollutant gases apply to Piaggio products. Strict regulations on atmospheric emissions, waste disposal, the drainage and disposal of water and other pollutants also apply to the Group's production sites.
Unfavourable changes in the regulatory and/or legal framework at a national and international level could mean that products can no longer be sold on the market, forcing manufacturers to invest to renew their product ranges and/or renovate/upgrade production plants.
To deal with these risks, the Group has always invested in research and development into innovative products, anticipating any restrictions on current regulations. Moreover, the Group, as one of the sector's leading manufacturers, is often requested to be represented on parliamentary committees appointed to discuss and formulate new laws.
The Group operates through industrial sites located in Italy, India and Vietnam. These sites could be affected by natural events, such as earthquakes, typhoons, flooding and other catastrophes that may damage sites and also slow down/interrupt production and sales.
Continual renewal of the sites prevents these risk scenarios. The potential impact of these risks is mitigated by specific insurance cover taken out for various sites based on their relative importance.
The Piaggio Group is exposed to risk from the difficulty of keeping abreast with new product and production process technologies. To tackle this risk, departments at Pontedera in Italy and PADc – the Piaggio Advance Design Center in Pasadena are dedicated to research, development and trialling new technological solutions (thanks also to Aprilia Racing's experience in MotoGP racing), while Piaggio Fast Forward in Boston is studying innovative solutions to anticipate and meet future mobility needs.
The Group's business is closely related to the sales network's ability to guarantee end customers a high quality sales and after-sales service. Piaggio deals with this risk by establishing specific technical/professional standards to adopt in contracts, and by adopting periodic controls.
As regards this category, the main potential risks refer to fraudulent events connected with cyber attacks. These risks may stop activities supporting production and sale or compromise the confidentiality of personal data managed by the Group. To mitigate the occurrence of these risks, Piaggio has adopted a system of controls to improve the Group's IT security.
In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to stakeholders' perception of the Group and its reputation and their loyalty changing for the worse because of the release of detrimental information or due to sustainability requirements in the Corporate Governance Report not being met, as regards economic, environmental, social and product-related aspects.
In defining its strategic objectives, the Group could make errors of judgement with a consequent impact on its image and financial performance.
In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to risks from the wrong or incomplete adoption of strategies, with a consequent negative impact on achieving the Group's strategic objectives.
The Piaggio Group undertakes operations in currencies other than the euro and this exposes it to the risk of fluctuating exchange rates of different currencies.
Exposure to business risk consists of envisaged payables and receivables in foreign currency, taken from the budget for sales and purchases reclassified by currency and accrued on a monthly basis.
The Group's policy is to hedge at least 66% of the exposure of each reference month.
Exposure to the settlement risk consists of receivables and payables in foreign currency acquired in the accounting system at any moment. The hedge must at all times be equal to 100% of the import, export or net settlement exposure for each currency.
During the year, currency exposure was managed based on a policy that aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of exchange rate variations on company cash flow. This was achieved by hedging economic risk, which refers to changes in company profitability compared to the planned annual economic budget, based on a reference change (the "budget change"), and transaction risk, which refers to differences between the exchange rate at which receivables and payables are recognised in currency in the financial statements and the exchange rate at which the relative amount received or paid is recognised.
The Group has assets and liabilities which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and are necessary to manage liquidity and financial requirements. These assets and liabilities are subject to an interest rate risk and are hedged by derivatives or by specific fixed-rate loan agreements.
For a further description, reference is made to section 41 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks
The Group is exposed to the risk arising from the production of cash flows that are not sufficient to guarantee Group payments due, or adequate profitability and growth to achieve its strategic objectives. Moreover, this risk is connected with the difficulty the Group may have in obtaining loans or a worsening in conditions of loans necessary to support Group operations in appropriate time frames.
To deal with these risks, cash flows and the Group's credit line needs are monitored or managed centrally under the control of the Group's Treasury in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of financial resources as well as optimise the debt maturity standpoint.
In addition, the Parent Company finances the temporary cash requirements of Group companies by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or guarantees.
This risk is connected with any downgrading of the credit rating of customers and consequent possibility of late payments, or the insolvency of customers and consequent failure to receive payments.
To balance this risk, the Parent Company evaluates the financial reliability of its business partners and stipulates agreements with primary factoring companies in Italy and other countries for the sale of trade receivables without recourse.
This risk is connected with compliance with covenants and targets to reduce loans, to maintain a sustainable debt/ equity balance.
To offset this risk, the measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis.
The "Product" category includes all risks concerning faults due to a nonconforming quality and safety and consequent recall campaigns that could expose the Group to: the costs of managing campaigns, replacing vehicles, claims for compensation and above all if faults are not managed correctly and/or are recurrent, damage to its reputation. To mitigate these risks, Piaggio has established a Quality Control system, it tests products during various stages of the production process and carefully sources its suppliers based on technical/professional standards. The Group has also defined plans to manage recall events and has taken out insurance to protect the Group against events attributable to product defects.
The Group is exposed to risk connected with possible interruptions to company production, due to the unavailability of raw materials or components, skilled labour, systems or other resources.
To deal with these risks, the Group has necessary maintenance plans, invests in upgrading machinery, has a flexible production capacity and sources from several suppliers of components to prevent the unavailability of one supplier affecting company production. Moreover, the operating risks related to industrial sites in Italy and other countries are managed through specific insurance cover assigned to sites based on their relative importance.
Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks
In carrying out its operations, the Group sources raw materials, semifinished products and components from a number of suppliers. Group operations are conditioned by the ability of its suppliers to guarantee the quality standards and specifications requested for products, as well as relative delivery times. To mitigate these risks, the Group qualifies and periodically evaluates its suppliers based on professional/technical/financial criteria in line with international standards.
The Group has production sites, research and development centres and sales offices in different nations and so is exposed to the risk of not being able to guarantee a safe working environment, with the risk of causing potential harm to property or people and exposing the Group to legal sanctions, lawsuits brought by employees, costs for compensation payments and reputational harm.
To mitigate these risks, Piaggio adopts a sustainable development model that is based on environmental sustainability, in terms of safeguarding natural resources and the possibility that the ecosystem might absorb the direct and indirect impact of production activities. Specifically, Piaggio seeks to minimise the environmental impact of its industrial activities through careful definition of the technological transformation cycle and using the best technologies and most modern methods of production.
The risks related to accidents/injuries sustained by personnel are mitigated by aligning processes, procedures and structures with applicable Occupational Safety laws, as well as best international standards.
These commitments, enacted in the Code of Ethics7 and stated by top management in the Group's "environmental policy" which is the basis for environmental certification (ISO 14001) and health and safety certification (BS OHSAS 18001) already awarded and maintained at production sites, is a mandatory benchmark for all company sites no matter where they are working.
The Group is exposed to the risk of shortcomings in planning its company processes or errors and deficiencies in carrying out operations.
To deal with this risk, the Group has established a system of directives comprising organisational notices and Manuals/Policies, Management Procedures, Operating Procedures and Work Instructions. All documents relative to Group processes and procedures are part of the single Group Document Information System, with access that is regulated and managed on the company intranet.
The main risks the Group is exposed to concerning human resources management include the ability to recruit expertise, professionalism and experience necessary to achieve objectives. To offset these risks, the Group has established specific policies for recruitment, career development, training, remuneration and talent management, which are adopted in all countries where the Group operates according to the same principles of merit, fairness and transparency, and focussing on aspects that are relevant for the local culture.
In Europe, the Piaggio Group operates in an industrial context with a strong trade union presence, and is potentially exposed to the risk of strikes and interruptions to production activities.
In the recent past, the Group was not affected by major interruptions to production because of strikes. To avoid the risk of interruptions to production activities, as far as possible, the Group bases its relations with trade union organisations on dialogue.
7 Code of Ethics - Article 8: "Without prejudice to compliance with the specific applicable regulation, the Company pays attention to environmental issues in its decisions, also adopting - where operationally and economically feasible and compatible - environmentally friendly production technologies and methods, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of its activities".
Risks and uncertainties External risks
Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks
The Piaggio Group legally protects its products and brands throughout the world. In some countries where the Group operates, laws do not offer certain standards of protection for intellectual property rights. This circumstance could render the measures adopted by the Group to protect itself from the unlawful use of these rights by third parties inadequate.
Within the framework of its operations, the Group is involved in legal and tax proceedings. As regards some of the proceedings, the Group could be in a position where it is not able to effectively quantify potential liabilities that could arise. A detailed analysis of the main disputes is provided in the specific paragraph in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group is exposed to risks of its employees committing offences, such as fraud, active and passive corruption, acts of vandalism or damage that could have negative effects on its business results in the year, and also harm the image and integrity of the Company and its reputation. To prevent these risks, the Group has adopted a Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 and a Code of Ethics which sets out the principles and values the entire organisation takes inspiration from.
The Group is exposed to the risk of possible inadequacies in its procedures that are intended to ensure compliance with Italian and relevant foreign regulations applicable to financial disclosure, running the risk of fines and other sanctions. In particular there is a risk that financial reporting for Group stakeholders is not accurate and reliable due to significant errors or the omission of material facts and that the Group provides disclosure required by applicable laws in a manner which is inadequate, inaccurate or untimely.
To deal with these risks, the financial statements are audited by Independent Auditors. Moreover, the control activities required by Italian Law 262/2005 were extended to cover the most important subsidiaries, Piaggio Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., Piaggio Vietnam Co.Ltd., Aprilia Racing Srl and Piaggio Group Americas Inc.
4 July 2019 - The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Piaggio Group signed a 7-year, ¤70 million loan agreement, to support investment plan Research and Development projects that will be carried out at the Italian sites of the Piaggio Group over the 2019-2021 period. The loan agreement signed with the EIB will support the development of innovative technological solutions for products and processes in the areas of active and passive safety and sustainability (including electric engines and reduced consumption in combustion engines), with the aim of consolidating the scooter, motorcycle and commercial vehicle ranges. The loan will also further consolidate the Group's financial structure, extending the average duration and reducing the average cost of debt.

In a context where the Piaggio Group has consolidated its position on global markets, the Group is committed to:
From a technological point of view, the Piaggio Group will continue research to develop new solutions for current and future mobility challenges through the efforts of Piaggio Fast Forward (Boston) and to explore the new frontiers of design through PADc (Piaggio Advanced Design center) in Pasadena.
More in general, the Group is committed - as in the past and for operations in 2019 - to increasing productivity with a strong focus on efficient costs and investments, while complying with its business ethics.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (the Company) is a joint-stock company established in Italy at the Register of Companies of Pisa. The address of the registered office is Viale Rinaldo Piaggio 25 - Pontedera (Pisa). The main activities of the company and its subsidiaries are set out in the Report on Operations.
These Financial Statements are expressed in euros (¤) since this is the currency in which most of the Group's transactions take place. Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date.
The scope of consolidation has not changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018, while it has changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2018 due to the liquidation of Fondo Immobiliare First Atlantic on 14 December 2018.
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS), in force, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Union, and in compliance with provisions established by Consob in Communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006. The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.
During the drafting of these Condensed Interim Financial Statements, prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the same accounting standards adopted in the drafting of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018 were applied, with the exception of the paragraph "New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2019".
The information provided in the Half-Year Report should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018, prepared according to IFRS.
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the values of revenues, costs, consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities and on the information regarding contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. If these management estimates and assumptions should, in future, differ from the actual situation, they will be changed as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. For a more detailed description of the most significant measurement methods of the Group, reference is made to the section "Use of estimates" of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018.
It should also be noted that some assessment processes, in particular the most complex ones such as establishing any impairment of fixed assets, are generally undertaken in full only when preparing the annual financial statements, when all the potentially necessary information is available, except in cases where there are indications of impairment which require an immediate assessment of any impairment loss.
The Group's activities, especially those regarding two-wheeler products, are subject to significant seasonal changes in sales during the year.
Income tax is recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average weighted tax rate for the entire financial period.
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been subject to a limited review by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A..
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
In January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 "Leases". This new standard replaced IAS 17. The main change concerns the accounting of lease agreements by lessees that, according to IAS 17, were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). With IFRS 16, operating leases are treated for accounting purposes as finance leases. According to the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability are recognised for future rental payments. The IASB has provided for the optional exemption for certain leasing contracts and low value and short-term leases.
The standard mainly has an effect on the recognition of the Group's operating leases.
The Group opted to use the simplified transition approach, and therefore comparative amounts of the year prior to firsttime adoption were not modified. Assets recognised for rights to use are measured for the amount of the lease debt at the time of adoption.
As from 1 January 2019, the adoption of the new standard resulted in commitments for lease agreements being recognised in the financial statements and in corresponding financial liabilities as rights of use, according to the following logic:
| AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
|
|---|---|
| IN MILLIONS OF EUROS | |
| + Commitments for operating leases | 29 |
| - short-term operating leases | (1) |
| - operating leases of a moderate value | (1) |
| - operating leases that do not conform to IFRS 16 | (5) |
| - discounting effect | (1) |
| Total rights of use | 21 |
The effects of adopting IFRS 16 on the financial statements for the first half of 2019 are summarised in the following table.

In October 2017, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 9 concerning "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation". The amendment confirms that when a financial liability recognised at amortised cost is amended without this resulting in derecognition, the relative gain or loss must be immediately recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss is measured as the difference between the previous cash flow and flow redetermined based on the change. This amendment, applicable from 1 January 2019, did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.
The amendments issued in October 2017, clarify that the company must apply the provisions of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" to non-current equity investments in associated companies and joint ventures for which the equity method is not applied. The amendments are applicable from 1 January 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.
In December 2017, the IASB published its annual improvements to IFRS 2015–2017 (IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23). The amendments are applicable from 1 January 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.
In February 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 19, that will require companies to revise assumptions for determining the cost and borrowing costs at each change of the plan. The amendments are applicable from 1 January 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.
In June 2017 the IASB published interpretation IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" which provides information on how to account for uncertainties over the tax treatment of a given phenomenon in the recognition of income taxes. IFRIC 23 became effective on 1 January 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.
At the date of these Financial Statements, competent bodies of the European Union had not completed the approval process necessary for the application of the following accounting standards and amendments:
The Group will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations, based on the application date indicated, and will evaluate potential impact, when the standards, amendments and interpretations are endorsed by the European Union.

Costs for services and leases and rental costs increased by ¤/000 5,853 compared to the first six months of 2018. The decrease of Lease and rental costs and costs for leases and rental from related parties is due partly to the adoption of the new accounting standards IFRS 16, which, as explained in the previous section "New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2019" requires operating lease costs to no longer be included under lease and rental costs, but instead to be recognised as the amortisation of rights of use and as borrowing costs relative to the figurative debt.
The item includes costs for temporary work of ¤/000 1,052.
Employee costs include ¤/000 699 relating to costs for redundancy plans for the Pontedera and Noale production sites.

The item Losses from changes in the fair value of investment property relates to the lower value attributed in the appraisal prepared by an independent external expert to the Spanish site of Martorelles. For more details on how fair value is determined, reference is made to note 39.
Income from investments refers to the portion attributable to the Group of the Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd joint venture (¤/000 371) and of the associate Pontech (¤/000 14) measured at equity, as well as dividends from the associate Ecofor Service (¤/000 18).
The balance of financial income (borrowing costs) in the first half of 2019 was negative by ¤/000 12,634, an improvement on the figure of ¤/000 13,783 for the same period of the previous year, thanks to lower average debt and the reduction in the cost of debt. This improvement would be even higher, considering that figures for the first half of 2018 included ¤0/000 910 from non-recurrent net income generated by the liability management operation on the high yield debenture loan.
Income tax for the period, determined based on IAS 34, was estimated by applying a rate of 45% to profit before tax, equivalent to the best estimate of the weighted average rate predicted for the financial year.

Development costs include costs for products and engines referable to projects for which, as regards the period of the useful life of the asset, revenues are expected that allow for at least the costs incurred to be recovered. Assets under development refer to costs for which conditions for capitalisation apply, but that refer to products that will go into production in subsequent years.
Borrowing costs attributable to the development of products which require a considerable period of time to be realised are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets. Development costs included under this item are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 3 to 5 years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.
In the first half of 2019, development costs amounting to ¤/000 8,700 were carried as expenses directly in the income statement.
The item Patent rights comprises software for ¤/000 44,752 and patents and know-how.
Patents and know-how mainly refer to Vespa, Piaggio MP3, Piaggio Medley, Piaggio New Porter and Moto Guzzi V85 vehicles. Increases for the period mainly refer to new calculation, design and production techniques and methodologies developed by the Group, referring to main new products in the 2019-2020 range.
Costs for industrial patent and intellectual property rights are amortised on a straight line basis over a period of 3 to 5 years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.
The item Concessions, Licences, Trademarks and similar rights, is broken down as follows:

| Foton licence | 611 | 611 | 0 |
| Total | 36,774 | 39,185 | (2,411) |
The Aprilia and Guzzi trademarks are amortised over a period of 15 years, expiring in 2026.
Goodwill derives from the greater value paid compared to the corresponding portion of the subsidiaries shareholders' equity at the time of purchase, less the related accumulated amortisation until 31 December 2003. Goodwill was attributed to cash generating units.
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | AS OF 30 JUNE 2019 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 | CHANGE |

The organisational structure of the Group is based on 3 Geographic Segments (CGUs), involved in the production and sale of vehicles, relative spare parts and assistance in areas under their responsibility: EMEA and the Americas, India and Asia Pacific 2W. Each Geographic Segment has production sites and a sales network dedicated to customers in the relative segment. Central structures and development activities currently dealt with by EMEA and the Americas, are handled by individual CGUs.
Goodwill cannot be amortised, but is tested for impairment annually or frequently, if specific events take place or changed circumstances indicate that the asset may have been affected by impairment, to identify impairment as provided for by IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets.
The possibility of reinstating booked values is verified by comparing the net carrying amount of individual cash generating units with the recoverable value (value in use). This recoverable value is represented by the present value of future cash flows which, it is estimated, will be derived from the continual use of goods referring to cash generating units and by the terminal value attributable to these goods.
The recoverability of goodwill is verified at least once per year (as of 31 December), even in the absence of indicators of impairment losses.
As of 30 June 2019, the Group compared final and estimated budget figures of 2019, combined with forecast data for the 2020-2022 period, approved by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2019. This analysis did not highlight any indicators requiring an update to the impairment test carried out for the purposes of the financial statements as of 31 December 2018.

Property, plant and equipment mainly refer to Group production facilities in Pontedera (Pisa), Noale (Venice), Mandello del Lario (Lecco), Baramati (India) and Vinh Phuc (Vietnam).
The increases mainly relate to the construction of moulds for new vehicles launched during the period. Borrowing costs attributable to the construction of assets which require a considerable period of time to be ready for use are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets. During the first half of 2019, borrowing costs for ¤/000 161 were capitalised.

Future lease rental commitments are detailed in note 39.
This financial statement item includes the discounted value of operating lease payments due, as provided for by IFRS 16, the impact of which is referred to in the section "New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2019".
The Group opted to use the optional exemption provided for by IASB for certain lease agreements and low value and short-term leases.
Investment property refers to the Spanish site of Martorelles, where production was stopped in March 2013 and relocated to Italian sites.

| Opening balance as of 1 January 2019 | 10,269 |
| Fair value adjustment | (994) |
| Balance as of 30 June 2019 | 9,275 |
The carrying amount as of 30 June 2019 was determined by a specific appraisal conducted by an independent expert who measured the "Fair Value less cost of disposal" based on a market approach (as provided for in IFRS 13). This analysis identified the total value of the investment as ¤/000 9,275. In this regard, the valuation took account of the current status of the property, the project to convert the area, for the development of a retail centre prepared by the Group, together with comparable transactions. Following the site redevelopment project, an agency management contract was given to a Spanish property company, to seek investors interested in the property.
The Group uses the "fair value model" as provided for in IAS 40, thus the measurement updated during 2019 resulted in profit adjusted to fair value, equal to ¤/000 994 being recognised under other costs in the income statement for the period. If the cost criterion had still been used instead of fair value, the value of the Martorelles site would have been equal to ¤/000 6,027. During the first half of 2019, costs incurred for site management amounted to ¤/000 267.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their net value when they may be offset in the same tax jurisdiction. As part of measurements to define deferred tax assets, the Group mainly considered the following:
– the tax rate in effect in the year when temporary differences occur.
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
In view of these considerations, and with a prudential approach, it was decided to not wholly recognise the tax benefits arising from losses that can be carried over and from temporary differences.

The item Trade receivables comprises receivables referring to normal sale transactions, recorded net of a provision for bad debts of ¤/000 25,432.
The Group sells, on a rotating basis, a large part of its trade receivables with and without recourse. Piaggio has signed contracts with some of the most important Italian and foreign factoring companies as a move to optimise the monitoring and the management of its trade receivables, besides offering its customers an instrument for funding their own inventories, for factoring classified as without the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. On the contrary, for factoring without recourse, contracts have been formalised for the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. As of 30 June 2019, trade receivables still due sold without recourse totalled ¤/000 169,892.
Of these amounts, Piaggio received payment prior to natural expiry of ¤/000 144,479.
As of 30 June 2019, advance payments received from factoring companies and banks, for trade receivables sold with recourse totalled ¤/000 17,834 with a counter entry recorded in current liabilities.

In line with market practices for borrowers with a similar credit rating, main loan contracts require compliance with:
The measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis. According to results as of 30 June 2019, all covenants had been fully met.
The high yield debenture loan issued by the company in April 2018 provides for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practice on the high yield market. In particular, the company must observe the EBITDA/Net borrowing costs ratio, based on the threshold established in the Prospectus, to increase financial debt defined during issue. In addition, the Prospectus includes some obligations for the issuer, which limit, inter alia, the capacity to:
Failure to comply with the covenants and other contract commitments of the loan and debenture loan, if not remedied in agreed times, may give rise to an obligation for the early repayment of the outstanding amount of the loan.
All financial liabilities are measured in accordance with accounting standards and based on the amortised cost method (except for liabilities with hedging derivatives measured at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss, for which the same measurement criteria used for the derivative are applied and receivables classified as Fair Value Through OCI): according to this method, the nominal amount of the liability is decreased by the amount of relative costs of issue and/ or stipulation, in addition to any costs relating to refinancing of previous liabilities. The amortisation of these costs is determined on an effective interest rate basis, and namely the rate which discounts the future flows of interest payable and reimbursements of principle at the net carrying amount of the financial liability.
IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement defines fair value on the basis of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of an active market or market that does not operate regularly, fair value is measured by valuation techniques. The standard defines a fair value hierarchy:
The valuation techniques referred to levels 2 and 3 must take into account adjustment factors that measure the risk of insolvency of both parties. To this end, the standard introduces the concepts of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustment (DVA): CVA makes it possible to include the counterparty credit risk in the fair value measurement; DVA reflects the risk of insolvency of the Group.

Investment property related to the Martorelles site was measured as hierarchical level 3. This value was confirmed by a specific valuation of an independent expert, who measured the "Fair value less cost of disposal" based on a market approach (as provided for by IFRS 13). The valuation took account of comparable transactions on the local market, and the project to convert the area (from an industrial to a commercial site, as approved by the local authorities on 18 February 2014), referring however the value of the investment to its current status. Consequently, an accompanying 10% increase or decrease in all the variables based on the valuation of the investment would have generated a higher value of around ¤/000 2,600 and a lower value of ¤/000 2,800, with an equivalent greater or lesser impact on the income statement for the period.

This section describes all financial risks to which the Group is exposed and how these risks could affect future results.
The Group considers that its exposure to credit risk is as follows:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | AS OF 30 JUNE 2019 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid assets | 119,967 | 131,282 |
| Securities | 48,426 | 57,396 |
| Financial receivables | 9,522 | 8,834 |
| Other receivables | 42,189 | 50,132 |
| Tax receivables | 39,148 | 24,767 |
| Trade receivables | 151,143 | 86,557 |
| Total | 410,395 | 358,968 |
The Group monitors or manages credit centrally by using established policies and guidelines. The portfolio of trade receivables shows no signs of concentrated credit risk in light of the broad distribution of our licensee or distributor network. In addition, most trade receivables are short-term. In order to optimise credit management, the Group has established revolving programmes with some primary factoring companies for selling its trade receivables without recourse in Europe and the United States.
The financial risks the Group is exposed to are liquidity risk, exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. The management of these risks, in order to reduce management costs and dedicated resources, is centralised and treasury operations take place in accordance with formal policies and guidelines which are applicable to all Group companies.
The liquidity risk arises from the possibility that available financial resources are not sufficient to cover, in due times and procedures, future payments arising from financial and/or commercial obligations. To deal with these risks, cash flows and the Group's credit line needs are monitored or managed centrally under the control of the Group's Treasury in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of the financial resources as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint.
In addition, the Parent Company finances the temporary cash requirements of Group companies by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or guarantees. A cash pooling zero balance system is used between the Parent Company and European companies to reset the receivable and payable balances of subsidiaries on a daily basis, for a more effective and efficient management of liquidity in the Eurozone.
As of 30 June 2019 the most important credit lines irrevocable until maturity granted to the Parent Company were as follows:
Other Group companies also have irrevocable loans totalling ¤/000 7,780, with final settlement in June 2021.
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
As of 30 June 2019, the Group had a liquidity of ¤/000 168,459, undrawn irrevocable credit lines of ¤/000 215,000 and revocable credit lines of ¤/000 125,671, as detailed below:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | AS OF 30 JUNE 2019 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Variable rate with maturity within one year - irrevocable until maturity | ||
| Variable rate with maturity beyond one year - irrevocable until maturity | 215,000 | 165,000 |
| Variable rate with maturity within one year - cash revocable | 106,671 | 126,225 |
| Variable rate with maturity within one year - with revocation for self-liquidating typologies | 19,000 | 19,000 |
| Total undrawn credit lines | 340,671 | 310,225 |
Management considers that currently available funds, as well as funds that will be generated from operations and loans, will enable the Group to meets its requirements relative to investments, the management of working capital and repayment of loans on expiry and will ensure an adequate level of operating and strategic flexibility.
The Group operates in an international context where transactions are conducted in currencies different from the euro. This exposes the Group to risks arising from exchange rates fluctuations. For this purpose, the Group has an exchange rate risk management policy which aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of the changes in exchange rates on company cash-flows.
This policy analyses:

To hedge the economic exchange risk alone, cash flow hedging is adopted with the effective portion of profits and losses recognised in a specific shareholders' equity reserve. Fair value is determined based on market quotations provided by main traders.
As of 30 June 2019 the total fair value of hedging instruments for the economic exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was positive by ¤/000 136. During the first half of 2019, profit was recognised under Other Comprehensive Income amounting to ¤/000 136 and profit from Other Comprehensive Income was reclassified under profit/loss for the period amounting to ¤/000 15.

The net balance of cash flows during the first half of 2019 in main currencies is shown below:
| IN MILLIONS OF EUROS | CASH FLOW FOR THE 1ST HALF OF 2019 |
|---|---|
| Canadian Dollar | 3.7 |
| Pound Sterling | 9.1 |
| Swedish Krone | 4.2 |
| Japanese Yen | (3.4) |
| US Dollar | 21.3 |
| Indian Rupee | (27.2) |
| Croatian Kuna | 0.3 |
| Chinese Yuan11 | (25.6) |
| Vietnamese Dong | (27.6) |
| Singapore dollar | (1.3) |
| Indonesian Rupiah | 16.2 |
| Total cash flow in foreign currency | (30.3) |
In view of the above, an assumed appreciation/deprecation of 3% of the euro would have generated potential profits for ¤/000 881 and potential losses for ¤/000 936 respectively.
This risk arises from fluctuating interest rates and the impact this may have on future cash flows arising from variable rate financial assets and liabilities. The Group regularly measures and controls its exposure to the risk of interest rate changes, as established by its management policies, in order to reduce fluctuating borrowing costs, and limit the risk of a potential increase in interest rates. This objective is achieved through an adequate mix of fixed and variable rate exposure, and the use of derivatives, mainly interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.
As of 30 June 2019, the following hedging derivatives were taken out:
– a Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by the Parent Company for a nominal amount of \$/000 75,000. The purpose of the instrument is to hedge both the exchange risk and interest rate risk, turning the loan from US dollars to euro, and from a fixed rate to a variable rate; the instrument is accounted for on a fair value hedge basis, with effects arising from the measurement recognised in profit or loss. As of 30 June 2019, the fair value of the instrument was ¤/000 9,485. The net economic effect arising from the measurement of the instrument and underlying private debenture loan was equal to ¤/000 +270; sensitivity analysis of the instrument and its underlying, assuming a 1% increase and decrease in the shift of the variable rates curve, showed a potential impact on the Income Statement, net of the related tax effect, of practically zero in the first case and equal to ¤/000 +13 in the second case, assuming constant exchange rates; whereas assuming a 1% reversal and writedown of exchange rates, sensitivity analysis identified a potential impact on the Income Statement, net of the related tax effect, of ¤/000 -12 and ¤/000 +17 respectively.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. is subject to the management and coordination of IMMSI S.p.A. pursuant to article 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code. During the period, management and coordination comprised the following activities:
In 2016, for a further three years, the Parent Company signed up to the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism pursuant to articles 117 to 129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R.) of which IMMSI S.p.A. is the consolidating company, and to whom other IMMSI Group companies report to. The consolidating company determines a single global income equal to the algebraic sum of taxable amounts (income or loss) realised by individual companies that opt for this type of group taxation.
The consolidating company recognises a receivable from the consolidated company which is equal to the corporate tax to be paid on the taxable income transferred by the latter. Whereas, in the case of companies reporting tax losses, the consolidating company recognises a payable related to corporate tax on the portion of loss actually used to determine global overall income, or calculated as a decrease of overall income for subsequent tax periods, according to the procedures in article 84, based on the criterion established by the consolidation agreement.
Under the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism, companies may, pursuant to article 96 of Presidential Decree no. 917/86, allocate the excess of interest payable which is not deductible to one of the companies so that, up to the excess of Gross Operating Income produced in the same tax period by other subjects party to the consolidation, the amount may be used to reduce the total income of the Group.
Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has two office lease agreements with IMMSI, one for property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan, and the other for property in Via Abruzzi 25 in Rome. A part of the property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan is sub-leased by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. to Piaggio Concept Store Mantova Srl.
Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has undertaken a rental agreement for offices owned by Omniaholding S.p.A..

Canadian Scooter Corp. (CSC), sole distributor of Piaggio for Canada, summoned Piaggio & C. S.p.A., Piaggio Group Americas Inc. and Nacional Motor S.A to appear before the Court of Toronto (Canada) in August 2009 to obtain compensation for damages sustained due to the alleged infringement of regulations established by Canadian law on franchising (the Arthur Wishart Act). The proceedings have been suspended at present, as attempts at settlement are still pending, due to no action being taken by the other party. Piaggio is assessing the possibility of filing a petition for an "order to dismiss" the proceedings, due to inactivity.
In 2010, Piaggio took action to establish an arbitration board through the Arbitration Chamber of Milan, for a ruling against some companies of the Case New Holland Group (Italy, Netherlands and the USA), to recover damages under contractual and non-contractual liability relating to the execution of a supply and development contract of a new family of utility vehicles (NUV). In the award notified to the parties on 3 August 2012, the Board rejected the claims made by the Company. The Company appealed against this award before the Appeal Court of Milan, which established the first hearing for 4 June 2013. The hearing for closing arguments set for 12 January 2016 was adjourned to 26 January 2016. With the ruling of 8 June 2016, the Court of Appeal of Milan rejected Piaggio's appeal. The Company filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation.
Da Lio S.p.A., by means of a complaint received on 15 April 2009, summoned the Parent Company before the Court of Pisa to claim compensation for the alleged damages sustained for various reasons as a result of the termination of supply relationships. The Company appeared in court requesting the rejection of all opposing requests. Da Lio requested a joinder with the opposition concerning the injunction obtained by Piaggio to return the moulds retained by the supplier at the end of the supply agreement. Judgements were considered and a ruling issued pursuant to article 186-ter of the Italian Code of Civil Proceedings, on 7 June 2011, ordering Piaggio to pay the sum of Euro 109,586.60, plus interest relative to sums which were not disputed. During 2012, testimonial evidence was presented. After reaching a decision at the end of testimonial evidence, the Judge admitted a technical/accounting court-appointed expert requested by Da Lio to quantify the amount of interest claimed by Da Lio and value of stock. The technical appraisal was completed at the end of 2014. At the hearing of 12 February, the Judge arranged for a mediation hearing for 23 April 2015. Following the hearing and in the absence of conciliation, the case was adjourned to 23 September 2016 for closing arguments and was therefore ruled on. However, the Court of Pisa had to subsequently reassign the case, and after the interruption, the newly appointed Judge decided to re-examine the proceedings and has set the hearing for closing arguments. The parties submitted their closing arguments again, exchanging relative briefs and rejoinders. The case is pending a decision.
In June 2011 Elma srl, a Piaggio dealer since 1995, started two separate proceedings against the Parent Company, claiming the payment of approximately ¤2 million for alleged breach of the sole agency ensured by Piaggio for the Rome area and an additional ¤5 million as damages for alleged breach and abuse of economic dependence by the Company. Piaggio opposed the proceedings undertaken by Elma, fully disputing its claims and requesting a ruling for Elma to settle outstanding sums owing of approximately ¤966,000.
During the case, Piaggio requested the enforcement of bank guarantees that ensured against the risk of default by the dealer issued in its favour by three banks. Elma attempted to stop enforcement of the guarantees with preventive proceedings at the Court of Pisa (Pontedera section): the proceedings ended in favour of Piaggio that collected the amounts of the guarantees (over ¤400,000). Trial proceedings took place and a hearing was held on 24 April 2013 to examine evidence. After reaching a decision at the aforesaid hearing, the Judge rejected requests for preliminary examination of Elma and set the hearing for 17 December 2015 for closing arguments, which was adjourned to 3 March 2016 and was then not held as the judge was transferred. The case was reassigned to a new Judge, who set the hearing for 19 July 2018, which was adjourned to 4 October 2018 and then to 10 January 2019. In the latter hearing, although the parties had already filed their closing arguments, the Judge adjourned the case, for closing arguments to be made, to the hearing of 9 April 2019. The case is pending a decision.
As regards the matter, Elma has also brought a case against a former senior manager of the Company before the Court of Rome, claiming compensation for damages: Piaggio appeared in the proceedings, requesting, among other things, that the case be moved to the Court of Pisa. At the hearing of 27 January 2014, the Judge ruled on the preliminary exceptions and did not admit preliminary briefs. The hearing for closing arguments set for 21 December 2015 and subsequently adjourned, was not held as the Judge, on petition of Elma, re-opened the preliminary investigation, admitting testimonial evidence and setting the hearing for 25 May 2016. On this date, examination of the witnesses began and the hearing was adjourned to 24 October 2016 to continue the preliminary investigation. The Judge set the
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
hearing for 11 April 2017 to reach a settlement between the parties, which was not successful. The Judge therefore admitted an accounting expert requested by Elma, although with a far more limited scope than the petition filed by the counterparty, adjourning the case to the hearing of 9 October 2018 for closing arguments. The expert's appraisal was filed on October 2018. The parties exchanged their closing arguments and respective rejoinders. In a ruling of 31 May 2019 (published on 3 June 2019) the Ordinary Court of Rome, Civil Section XII, rejected the claim made by Elma S.r.l., also ordering it to pay the expert's fees and legal fees.
In a complaint received on 29 May 2007, Gammamoto S.r.l. in liquidation, an Aprilia licensee in Rome, started a legal action against the Parent Company before the Court of Rome for contractual and non-contractual liability. The Company fully opposed the injunction disputing the validity of Gammamoto's claims and objecting to the lack of jurisdiction of the Judge in charge. The Judge, accepting the petition formulated by the Company, declared its lack of jurisdiction with regards to the dispute. Gammamoto has continued proceedings through the Court of Venice. The Judge admitted testimonial evidence and evidence for examination requested by the parties, establishing the hearing for the preliminary investigation on 12 November 2012. After defining the closing arguments of the hearing of 26 June 2013, the terms for final statements and relative replies were granted, and the case was not ruled on. The Court of Venice issued a ruling in favour of Piaggio, filed on 17 February 2014. Gammamoto appealed and at the first hearing on 23 October 2014 the Court decided to rule without proceeding with the preliminary investigation requested by the opposing party, and in particular without ordering a technical appraisal.
In a ruling of 8 April 2019 (published on 12 June 2019), the Court of Appeal of Venice, Civil section III, rejected the appeal made by Gammamoto S.r.l. in liquidation, as it was without grounds, confirming the ruling of the first instance, and ordering Gammamoto to pay legal fees.
The company TAIZHOU ZHONGNENG summoned Piaggio before the Court of Turin, requesting the annulment of the Italian part of the 3D trademark registered in Italy protecting the form of the Vespa, as well as a ruling denying the offence of the counterfeiting of the 3D trademark in relation to scooter models seized by the Guardia di Finanza [Italian tax police] at the 2013 EICMA trade show, based on the petition filed by Piaggio, in addition to compensation for damages. At the first hearing for the parties to appear, set for 4 February 2015 and adjourned to 5 February 2015, the Judge lifted reservations, arranging for a technical appraisal to establish the validity of the Vespa 3D trademark and the infringement or otherwise of Znen scooter models, setting the hearing for the court-appointed expert to be sworn in on 18 March 2015, which was adjourned to 29 May 2015. At that hearing, the Judge set the deadline for filing the final expert's appraisal for 10 January 2016, and the discussion hearing for 3 February 2016. During this hearing, the Judge, considering the preliminary investigation as completed, set the hearing for closing arguments for 26 October 2016. In a ruling of 6 April 2017, the Court of Turin upheld in full the validity of the 3D Vespa mark of Piaggio, and the counterfeiting of said by the "VES" scooter by Znen.
The Court of Turin also recognised the protection of Vespa in accordance with copyright, confirming the creative nature and artistic value of its form, declaring that the scooter "VES" by Znen infringes Piaggio copyright. The other party appealed against the judgement at the Appeal Court of Turin, where the first hearing took place on 24 January 2018. The case was adjourned to the hearing of 13 June 2018 for the closing arguments, after which statements and rejoinders and replications were exchanged. The Court of Appeal of Turin rejected the appeal made by Zhongneng in a ruling published on 16 April 2019.
In a writ of 27 October 2014 Piaggio summoned the companies PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES ITALIA s.p.a., MOTORKIT s.a.s. di Turcato Bruno e C., GI.PI. MOTOR di Bastianello Attilio and GMR MOTOR s.r.l. before the Court of Milan to obtain the recall of Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycles from the market, and to establish the infringement of some European patents and designs owned by Piaggio, as well as a ruling for the compensation for damages for unfair competition, and the publication of the ruling in some newspapers.
In the hearing for the first appearance of 4 March 2015, the judge set the deadline for filing statements pursuant to article 183.6 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure and appointed an expert witness.
The hearing for swearing in the expert took place on 6 October 2015. On 23 December 2016, the expert submitted his provisional report to the parties and the final report was filed on 2 May 2017. The judge adjourned the case to the hearing of 28 February 2018 for closing arguments. At the hearing of 28 February 2018, the Judge ordered an addition to the expert's appraisal, filed on 20 June 2018 and set the deadlines for closing arguments and the exchange of final statements. The case is pending a decision.
Piaggio started a similar legal action against Peugeot Motocycles SAS before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris. As a result of the Piaggio action ("Saisie Contrefaçon"), several documents were obtained by a bailiff and tests carried out to prove the infringement of the MP3 motorcycle by the Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycle. The hearing took place
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
on 8 October 2015 for the appointment of the expert, who will examine the findings of the Saisie Contrefaçon. On 3 February 2016 the hearing took place to discuss the preliminary briefs exchanged between the parties. The hearing to assess preliminary findings, set for 29 September 2016, was adjourned to 9 February 2017 and then to 6 September 2017. In February 2018, a preliminary expert's appraisal was filed defining documents based on which a ruling will be made on the counterfeiting alleged by Piaggio. The hearing was held on 29 January 2019 and proceedings were adjourned to the hearing of 17 October 2019.
PEUGEOT MOTOCYCLES SAS summoned Piaggio to appear before the Court of Milan, claiming that the patent based on which Piaggio filed a claim for counterfeiting would be voidable, due to a previously existing Japanese patent. Piaggio appeared in court, claiming that the action taken by Peugeot could not proceed further and that the patent application referred to by Peugeot was irrelevant. During the hearing of 20 February 2018, the Judge established the deadlines for filing preliminary briefs and the case was adjourned to the hearing of 22 May 2018, after which an expert's appraisal was ordered, with the date of 15 January 2019 set for the filing. After the expert's appraisal was filed (confirming the validity of Piaggio's patent), and discussed during the hearing of 29 January 2019, the Judge requested further technical confirmations from the expert, establishing a deadline (15 April) by which Peugeot must request additions to the appraisal. On the outcome of the hearing, the Judge set the subsequent hearing for 15 December 2020 for the summary pleadings.
In November 2017, the Company filed two appeals with the Court of Beijing (PRC), concerning the assessment of the breach and counterfeiting of some trademarks ("Case 1") and ornamental designs ("Case 2"), relative to the "Scarabeo" vehicle by Chinese companies which are part of the Jincheng Group Co., Ltd. Following these actions, the counterparty filed a claim for invalidation (an administrative procedure with the Chinese Patent Re-examination Board) of the registration of one of the ornamental designs relative to an old model of the Scarabeo (no longer in production). The latter proceeding ended with the invalidation of the registration of the old Scarabeo design. Piaggio appealed against this decision, submitting a petition to suspend Case 2 pending the outcome of the petition against the invalidation. A hearing has yet to be set for Case 1, which is expected for 2019.
The amounts allocated by the Company for the potential risks deriving from the current dispute appear to be consistent with the predictable outcome of the disputes.
As regards tax disputes involving the Parent Company Piaggio & C. S.p.A., two appeals are ongoing against two tax assessments notified to the Company and related to the 2002 and 2003 tax years respectively. These assessments originate from the Italian Revenue Agency accessing the Parent Company's offices in 2007, following information filed in the report of verification issued in 2002 following a general verification.
The Parent Company obtained a favourable ruling concerning these assessments, in both the first and second instance, and with reference to both tax periods. The Italian Revenue Agency filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation and the Company filed related appeals against it on 27 May 2013, with reference to the tax litigation made related to the 2002 tax period, and on 10 March 2014, for the tax litigation made relative to the 2003 tax period. On 22 May 2019, the Company filed an application for a settlement concession pursuant to Article 6 of Law Decree 119/2018, paying the amounts required by this law and on 10 June 2019, filed relative applications for suspension.
Lastly, on 22 December 2017, Piaggio & C. S.p.A. received two notices of assessment issued by the Revenue Agency - Regional Department of Tuscany - Major Taxpayers Section - both relative to the 2012 tax period and concerning transfer pricing for corporate income tax and regional production tax purposes. As regards both notices, the Company, convinced of its reasons and in keeping with OECD guidelines and the Decree of 14 May 2018, and with no intention of tax instrumentalisation, started a cross-examination stage with the Assessing Department, submitting an application for control with acceptance on 23 January 2018, in order to reach a quick settlement with the Revenue Agency.
As no agreement has yet been reached with the Department, the Company filed an appeal with the Provincial Tax Commission of Florence on 11 June 2018 and 25 July 2018 (for the assessment notices concerning regional production tax and corporate income tax respectively), to prevent deadlines making the notices final, and a hearing was set for both cases for 29 April 2019, during which the parties requested an adjournment. The appeals concerning regional production tax and corporate income tax were combined and the new hearing has been set for 13 November 2019.
The Company was also successful before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal with reference to appeals filed against assessment orders received on completion of the assessment of income generated by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. in India during the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 Indian tax periods, involving sums for approximately ¤1.3 million and ¤1.1 million respectively, including interest; the Indian tax authorities filed an appeal with the High Court against the decision taken in the first instance; a date for the hearing has yet to be set.
Consolidated Income Statement Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Attachments
On 6 February 2019, a ruling was made by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in favour of the Company regarding its appeals against the assessment orders received following the assessments conducted for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 tax periods. The taxes and interest claimed by the Indian tax authorities for these tax periods amount to approximately ¤1 million and ¤0.9 million respectively.
In compliance with local laws, the Parent Company has already paid part of the amounts related to the appeals to the Indian tax authorities, for a total of ¤0.8 million; for these amounts, the Company has started the reimbursement procedure, that will be completed before the end of 2019.
The Company has not considered allocating provisions for these disputes, in view of the positive opinions expressed by consultants appointed as counsel. Furthermore, based on the above mentioned opinions, the Company considers a favourable outcome of the rulings and subsequent reimbursement of amounts paid with reference to the Indian disputes as likely.
Moreover, the Parent Company received a VAT assessment order from the Indian tax authorities relative to the 2010- 2011 tax period, concerning the non-application of VAT to intergroup transactions with Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd relative to royalties. The amount of the claim, including interest is approximately ¤0.7 million and the Company has decided to contest the order, filling an appeal with the High Court on 17 June 2019.
The main tax disputes of other Group companies concern Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd, PT Piaggio Indonesia, Piaggio France S.A. and Piaggio Hellas S.A.
With reference to the Indian subsidiary, some disputes concerning different tax years from 1998 to 2015 are ongoing related to direct and indirect tax assessments and for a part of which, considering positive opinions expressed by consultants appointed as counsel, provisions have not been made in the financial statements. The Indian company has already partly paid the amounts contested, as required by local laws, that will be paid back when proceedings are successfully concluded in its favour.
With reference to PT Piaggio Indonesia, the Company filed an appeal against the claim concerning transfer pricing for the 2015 period.
As regards the French company, a favourable ruling was issued in December 2012 by the Commission Nationale des Impots directes et des taxes sur le chiffre d'affaires, the decision-making body ruling prior to legal proceedings in disputes with the French tax authorities concerning a general audit of the 2006 and 2007 periods. The French tax authorities however upheld their claims against the Company, requesting payment of the amounts claimed and issuing related notices (one for withholding tax and the other for corporate income tax and VAT).
The Company appealed against the notices and appeals were filed against the findings on withholding tax and corporate income tax, before the Tribunal Administratif. Appeals were lodged against decisions taken against the Company on 7 September 2015 and 8 July 2016 before the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles. Following the hearing on 23 January 2018, appeal judges issued a ruling in favour of the Company. The amount in question, equal to approximately ¤3.7 million, including interest, initially paid in full to the French tax authorities, was then reimbursed following the ruling handed down by the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles. This last judgement was appealed against by the French Administration before the Conseil d'Etat. As regards this proceeding, the Financial Administration filed briefs on 4 April 2019, and the Company filed its rejoinder on 21 May 2019.
The Company did not consider it necessary to make provisions, in view of the positive indications from professionals appointed to act as counsel, also in view of the petition filed with the Court Administrative d'Appel de Versailles, and the ruling issued in favour of the Company by this Court.
On 8 April 2015, Piaggio Hellas S.A. received a Tax Report following a general assessment for the 2008 tax period, with findings for approximately ¤0.5 million, including sanctions. On 12 June 2015, the Company appealed against the report with the Tax Center – Dispute Resolution Department. Following the unfavourable outcome of this appeal, the Company appealed before the Administrative Court of Appeal, which ruled in favour of the local tax authorities in a ruling of 27 April 2017. The Company therefore appealed before the Supreme Court. The amount in question was paid in full to the Greek tax authorities. Based on positive opinions from professionals appointed as counsel, the Company considers a favourable outcome and subsequent reimbursement of amounts paid as likely.
