6 On 16 January 2019, the rating agency Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) notified its revised rating of the Piaggio Group (PIA.MI), from "B1" to "Ba3".

30 January 2018 – The development and consolidation of the Motoplex distribution network continued. The Motoplexes are Piaggio Group multibrand flagship stores offering a unique venue to showcase the Group's main brands (Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi). In fact, in line with the Group's global, in-store innovative strategy with customer-centric sales, the remarkable record of 300 stores opened worldwide in just three years has been reached, improving on and partially replacing the conventional distribution network.
6 February 2018 – At the Brand Identity GrandPrix, the Biblioteca Bilancio Sociale presented awards to brands that have sought to invest in sustainability, turning it into a business asset. The Piaggio Group received a special mention in the "Environment" category.
8 February 2018 – The Piaggio Group, boosted by its considerable success with the Aprilia SR 150, expanded its range of Aprilia scooters in India, unveiling the new Aprilia SR 125 and Aprilia Storm 125 at Auto Expo. The models will reach a broad-ranging target in a segment with strong growth, with the Vespa brand sold as a premium scooter product.
26 March 2018 – The rating agency Moody's announced a change to the outlook of the Piaggio Group, raising it from stable to positive and leaving the rating unchanged at B1.
5 April 2018 - Standard & Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) notified its revision of the Rating of the Piaggio Group (PIA. MI), upgrading it from "B+" to "BB-".
18 April 2018 – The Piaggio Group successfully completed the placement of a 7-year, non-convertible, unsecured senior debenture loan on the high-yield market for ¤250 million, with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.625% and an issue price equal to 100%. The Notes were rated by S&P (BB-) and Moody's (B1), in line with the ratings of the Group. The purpose of the transaction is to refinance Piaggio's outstanding notes for the same amount due in 2021, strengthening the debt profile of the Group, reducing its average cost and significantly extending the average maturity of the Group's debt. The response from institutional investors was highly encouraging both in Italy and abroad, with an uptake for approximately ¤1.7 billion.
12 June 2018 – The Piaggio Group took out a five-year, ¤250 million credit facility, with a pool of banks comprising Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, HSBC, Banca IMI, ING Bank, Mediobanca and Unicredit (all acting as mandated lead arranger and bookrunner). The operation is mainly to refinance the ¤175 million revolving line maturing in July 2018, and the ¤25 million term loan maturing in July 2019, granted by the same pool of banks. The credit facility consists of a revolving portion amounting to ¤187.5 million and a term loan amortising portion, amounting to ¤62.5 million. The financial conditions of the new facility are better than the refinanced credit facilities: besides a reduction in the cost of borrowing, the new credit facility will make it possible to improve the Piaggio Group's financial debt quality profile, increasing its financial flexibility and average residual life to approximately 5 years.
18 July 2018, Beijing – The Chairman and CEO of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. Roberto Colaninno, and the Deputy CEO of Foton Motor Group and Chairman of Foton International Chaing Rui signed the technical attachments to the contract for the development and production of a new range of light commercial four-wheelers (contract signed on 16 May), successfully completing the procedure. The CEO of Foton Motor Group Mr. Gong Yueqiong confirmed how the partnership will value the special characteristics of the two international industrial groups and strengthen the commercial and industrial ties already existing between Italy and China. He also hoped that further partnerships would be forged, with a particular nod to African markets. With the last contractual step being completed and the partnership between the Piaggio Group and Foton Motor Group becoming effective, investments necessary to manufacture the new types of light commercial vehicles have started. All operations will take place at the Piaggio Group's Pontedera site, and relative products will be launched on the market as from 2020.
7 August 2018 - The Piaggio Group began sales of the Ape in Cambodia, one of the most dynamic and high-potential growth markets for light commercial vehicles in the Asean area.

8 October 2018 – The online pre-booking campaign for the electric Vespa, manufactured at the Italian site of Pontedera, began.

The Group has adopted IFRS 15 since 1 January 2018. For an analysis of the effects of adopting this accounting standard, see the notes. To make data from the two periods in question comparable, 2017 figures were restated. Comments in the Report on Operations refer to 2018 figures and 2017 figures restated.
In terms of consolidated turnover, the Group closed 2018 with net revenues up compared to 2017 (+4.3%; +8.2% with constant exchange rates). In terms of geographic segments, revenues increased in India (+15.4%; +26.2% at constant exchange rates) and Asia Pacific (+3.6%; +9.3% with constant exchange rates). In the EMEA and Americas, revenues were basically stable (-0.5%).
As regards product types, the increase in turnover mainly referred to Commercial Vehicles (+10.6%), while the trend in the two-wheeler segment was more limited (+1.7%). As a result, the percentage of two-wheeler vehicles accounting for overall turnover dropped from 70.8% in 2017 to the current figure of 68.9%; vice versa, the percentage of Commercial Vehicles rose from 29.2% in 2017 to the current figure of 31.1%.
The Group's gross industrial margin increased compared to the previous year, in absolute terms (¤+18.2 million), and in relation to net turnover (30.5% against 30.4% in 2017).
Amortisation/depreciation included in the gross industrial margin was equal to ¤31.2 million (¤34.8 million in 2017).

Financial position and performance of the Group Consolidated income statement Consolidated statement of financial position Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Alternative non-GAAP performance measures
Operating expenses in 2018 went down compared to the previous year, and amounted to ¤330.8 million (¤333.1 million in 2017). The change is mainly due to the reduction in amortisation and depreciation included in operating expenses (¤77.8 million in 2018 compared to ¤85.2 million in 2017).
This performance resulted in a consolidated EBITDA which was higher than the previous year, and equal to ¤201.8 million (¤192.3 million in 2017). In relation to turnover, EBITDA was equal to 14.5% (14.4% in 2017). In terms of Operating Income (EBIT), performance was better compared to 2017, with a consolidated EBIT equal to ¤92.8 million, up by ¤20.5 million compared to 2017; in relation to turnover, EBIT was equal to 6.7% (5.4% in 2017).
The result of financing activities improved compared to the previous year by ¤7.3 million, with Net Charges amounting to ¤24.9 million (¤32.3 million in 2017). This performance is mainly due to the reduction in average net debt and average stock, and is further improved by non-recurring net income of ¤ 0.9 million from the liability management operation on the "Eur 250 million Piaggio 4.625% due 2021" debenture loan, as well as the fair value measurement of financial debt in foreign currency and relative hedging for an additional ¤0.9 million.
Taxes for the period were equal to ¤31.8 million, while they amounted to ¤20.1 million in 2017. In 2018 the impact of taxes on profit before tax was estimated as equal to 46.8% (50.1% in 2017).
Adjusted net profit stood at ¤36.1 million (2.6% of turnover), up on the figure for the previous year of ¤20.0 million (1.5% of turnover).

Net working capital as of 31 December 2018 was negative (¤59.5 million), generating a cash flow of approximately ¤13.6 million during 2018.
Property, plant and equipment which includes investment property, totalled ¤276.5 million as of 31 December 2018, decreasing by ¤8.1 million compared to figures for the previous year. Depreciation for the year (¤40.4 million), impairment costs (¤1.9 million) and disposals (¤1.0 million), as well as the value adjustment of the financial statement item to the year-end exchange rate which decreased the carrying amount by approximately ¤1.9 million, were only partially offset by investments for the year equal to approximately ¤37.1 million.
Intangible assets totalled ¤658.9 million, up by approximately ¤9.9 million compared to 31 December 2017. This increase is due mainly to investments for the year (¤78.1 million) which exceeded amortisation for the year (¤65.6 million), impairment costs (¤2.4 million) and disposals (¤0.1 million), as well as the value adjustment of the financial statement item to the year-end exchange rate, which decreased the carrying amount by approximately ¤0.1 million.
Financial assets which total ¤8.7 million, increased by ¤1.0 million compared to figures for the previous year.
Provisions totalled ¤63.4 million, falling compared to 31 December 2017 (¤63.6 million).
As fully described in the next section on the "Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows", net financial debt as of 31 December 2018 was equal to ¤429.2 million, compared to ¤446.7 million as of 31 December 2017. The reduction of ¤17.5 million is mainly due to the positive trend of operations which allowed for the payment of dividends (¤19.7 million) and the funding of the investment programme.
Shareholders' equity as of 31 December 2018 amounted to ¤392.0 million, up by approximately ¤7.0 million compared to 31 December 2017, despite the negative impact of approximately ¤4.0 million due to the adoption of the new version of IFRS 9.

During 2018 the Piaggio Group generated financial resources amounting to ¤17.5 million.
Cash flow from operating activities, defined as net profit, minus non-monetary costs and income, was equal to ¤144.8 million.
Working capital generated a cash flow of approximately ¤13.6 million; in detail:
Investing activities involved a total of ¤111.8 million of financial resources. The investments refer to approximately ¤33.3 million for capitalised development expenditure, and approximately ¤82.0 million for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
As a result of the above financial dynamics, which generated a use of ¤17.5 million, the net debt of the Piaggio Group amounted to ¤– 429.2 million.
In accordance with Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 as amended (Consob Communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015 that enacts ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines on alternative performance measures), Piaggio, in its Report on Operations, refers to some alternative performance measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures (Non-GAAP Measures).
These are presented in order to measure the trend of the Group's operations to a better extent and should not be considered as an alternative to IFRS measures.
In particular the following alternative performance measures have been used:


During 2018, the global economy continued to expand, recording growth of 3.7%, despite the emerging volatility of financial markets and a strong political instability.
The protectionist stance of US trade policies has started to affect trade worldwide, business confidence and manufacturing, while the uncertainty over inflation has remained high, due to the considerable impact of oil prices and trends of food prices.
The US economy ended the period with an extremely positive growth trend (+3%), due mainly to tax incentives, with a full employment rate on the labour market, solid accounts and consumer savings, and moderate inflation. The USD effective exchange rate continued to grow stronger, supported by the choices made by the Trump administration and by a monetary policy that is still divergent from Europe and Japan.
The two main economies in Asia continued to expand: in China, growth was stable (+6.5%), slowed down by stringent regulations in the financial sector, but supported by accommodating tax and monetary policies. GDP in India increased (+7.2%) over 2017, despite a weaker quarterly growth due to a slowdown in household consumption and investments. Growth in Japan was weak (+0.9%), affected by the downturn in global demand and the US's trade policy.
After the buoyant trend of the previous year (+2.5%), the Eurozone registered overall growth of 1.9%, mainly due to the decline in the manufacturing sector, affected by the slackening in global trade. The slowdown in GDP was more abrupt than expected, also in relation to transient factors, such as the social protests in France and the effect of environmentally friendly regulations on the automotive market. In a context of growth and fears of inflationary pressures, the ECB decided the deadline for Quantitative Easing, although maintaining an accommodating monetary policy.
Italy's phase of economic expansion stopped, with the period ending well below expectations (+0.9%). In the first half of the year, the slowdown in foreign trade had a considerable effect, not only in Italy but also on the rest of Europe as well, while in the second part of the year, domestic variables had a greater impact. In particular, there was uncertainty over tax and financial policies, which might have led households and above all businesses to exercise greater caution in long-term spending decisions.
Based on data available on monitored markets, the global two-wheeler market (scooters and motorcycles) reported sales of over 46 million vehicles in 2018, with dynamics differing based on the geographic area.
India, the most important two-wheeler market, continued its growth trend in 2018, closing with just over 21.6 million vehicles sold, up by 12.8% compared to 2017.
The People's Republic of China resumed a negative trend (-12.1%), closing the period with just over 6.9 million units sold.
The Asian area, termed Asean 5, reported an increase in 2018 (+7.0% compared to 2017) ending the period with over 13.6 million units sold. Indonesia, the main market in this area, reported considerable growth (+8.4% compared to 2017), with total volumes of just under 6.4 million items. Thailand recorded a slight decline in 2018 (1.79 million units sold; -1.2% compared to 2017); Malaysia reported a considerable increase compared to the previous year (nearly 472 thousand units sold; +8.4% compared to 2017). The sales trend in Vietnam remained buoyant in 2018 (3.4 million units sold; +3.5 % compared to 2017) while the Philippines reported the highest increase of this area (nearly 1.59 million units sold; +20.6% compared to 2017).
Gli altri Paesi dell'area asiatica (Singapore, Hong Kong, Sud Corea, Giappone, Taiwan, Nuova Zelanda e Australia) nella loro totalità hanno registrato un decremento rispetto all'anno precedente, chiudendo a circa 1,3 milioni di unità (-11,4%).

India is the most important motorcycle market in Asia, selling nearly 13.8 million units in 2018, accounting for a 15.6% increase.
The motorcycle market in the Asean 5 area is far less important than the scooter sector. Sales of motorcycles in Vietnam were not significant. In other countries, the highest sales were recorded in Indonesia; however with 485 thousand units sold it reported a decrease of 23.8% compared to the previous year.
In 2018, the European market for light commercial vehicles (vehicles with a maximum mass of up to 3.5 tons) where the Piaggio Group operates, recorded sales past the 2 million mark for the first time since 2007, up 3.1% compared to 2017 (source ACEA data). In detail, the trends of main European reference markets are as follows: France (+4.6%), UK (-1.3%), Germany (+5.4%), Spain (+7.8%) and Italy (-6.0%).
The Indian three-wheeler and LCV cargo market (the latter with vehicles that have a mass below 2 tonnes), on which the Piaggio & C. S.p.A. subsidiary Piaggio Vehicles Privates Limited operates, reported the following trends:

Background The macroeconomic framework The market The regulatory framework
One of the main legislative activities in 2018 concerned the proposed amendment to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 on the transition to the Euro 5 step for the entire L category. The wording, adopted by EU institutions in December 2018, introduces new limits for Euro 5 emissions standards (as from 01/01/2020 for new vehicle types; as from 01/01/2021 for vehicle types already manufactured). Thanks to the coordinated and ongoing action of ACEM, the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, and its members, the new Regulation defers the adoption of some critical requirements for the transition to Euro 5 for some subcategories of vehicles (categories L1e; L2e; L6e, Trial and Enduro bikes), mainly concerning phase II onboard diagnostic systems and the test procedure for the durability of pollutant systems to 2024.
Preparatory discussions were also held in 2018 on the European Commission's presentation of proposed legislation on new Euro 5 noise limits. After a cost/benefits study commissioned by the European Union in favour of a considerable reduction in noise limits was published in November 2017, the industry has taken action to oppose any legal initiatives in this regard. Italian manufacturers and other European manufacturers, in the context of ACEM, have therefore worked on a counterproposal that i) introduces new procedures for testing noise (ASEP 2.0 Additional Sound Emission Provisions), ii) promotes further application of the law and increased controls, iii) as well as a communication campaign to raise motorcyclists' awareness of problems caused by riding their vehicles incorrectly, particularly in urban areas. In this context, the European Commission announced in November 2018 that it wanted to commission a new cost/benefits study and analysis relative to changes in legislation on noise. These initiatives will be conducted during 2019, therefore deferring the presentation of a revised text on legislation on noise to the second quarter of 2020.
Another main piece of legislation in 2018 refers to the approval of the Regulation that combines EU legislation on the type approval of vehicles in relation to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. Approved in December 2018, this Regulation introduces new rules aimed at ensuring a smooth transition for the type approval of motor vehicles, as well as of systems, components and separate technical units intended for these vehicles, when the UK leaves the EU. More specifically, the text enables manufacturers of motor vehicles holding a UK type approval to obtain a Union type approval for the same vehicle (i.e. type approval granted by an approval authority of one of the EU27), provided that the application for the Union type approval is made before the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The draft regulation therefore sets out the conditions for manufacturers of two-wheelers to obtain Union type approval, even after Brexit, and its effects on the placing on the market, registration or entry into service of such vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. It also states that the authority issuing the Union type approval will assume responsibility for in-service conformity, repair and maintenance information and potential recalls also for vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units put on the market on the basis of the UK type approval.
In 2018, European institutions also worked on revising the Directive on motor vehicle insurance. The wording of the revised Directive has not yet been approved. The main changes of the draft directive concern: a) the introduction of minimum amounts of cover which insurance policies must provide (to prevent the same accident being reimbursed in a way that is excessively different between two member states); b) the introduction of an obligation to take out insurance for pedal assist electric bikes; c) and an amendment to the definition of "vehicle use" (as defined in Directive 2009/103/EC) requesting third party liability insurance for all vehicles (including stationary vehicles), used in all possible locations, and that covers all possible damage and liability (for example including track racing, with insurance covering not only harm to spectators, but also harm to drivers). As regards the latter aspect, European manufacturers are lobbying to exclude track racing and to limit the obligation to provide insurance only to moving vehicles (excluding stationary vehicles). Negotiations on the new proposed Directive are still underway and will not be completed before the European elections due to be held in May 2019.
As regards light commercial vehicles, many new legal aspects were introduced in 2018. New limits on pollutant emissions for cars and light commercial vehicles were also introduced. The new limits apply as from 1 September 2018 (excluding vehicles registered with an end-of-series exception) to all category M and N1-class I vehicles, including the new WLTP cycle and RDE limits on the number of particles, i.e. particulate (the limitation on the number of particles only applies to diesel engines or direct-injection petrol engines).
At the end of 2018, European institutions also approved new limits for CO2 emissions for cars and light commercial vehicles post-2020. In brief, a reduction in CO2 emissions (gr/Km) of 15% by 2025 and of 37.5% by 2030 is planned for vehicles, and a reduction of 15% by 2025 and of 31% by 2030 for light commercial vehicles (in both cases, the baseline used to calculate the reduction comprises the mandatory target of 95 gr/Km for 2021). The new regulation also requires manufacturers to comply with registration quotas for low environmental impact vehicles (ZLEV – Zero and Low Emissions Vehicles - or vehicles that emit less than 50 gr/Km) of 15% by 2025 and 30% by 2030. In 2018, the new Framework Regulation for the type approval of category M, N and O vehicles (EU-WVTA Whole Vehicle Type Approval) was approved. This regulation will apply to all new type approvals as from 1 September 2020.
Work to revise the GVSR (General Vehicle Safety Regulation) started in 2018. The proposed legislation extends the list of passive and active safety devices that will be compulsory on board vehicles, the categories of vehicles involved (to include all categories) and also revises exemptions (for example current exemptions concerning SUVs and vans). With the support of Italian representatives and other delegations, the Council introduced the possibility, in its opinion which was approved in December 2018, for vehicles, such as the Porter, which are manufactured in small volumes, to be exempt. Thanks to the action of some MPs, a similar amendment was proposed in the opinion of the European Parliament. However, the wording has not yet been voted by the Parliamentary Committee that is responsible for the dossier, that should give its opinion before the end of January 2019. If approved, the procedure for the wording to become law will be put in place.
On 12 October 2018, the European Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure came into force in Italy and in all other EU member states. This Directive includes the need to affix a label on new vehicles and on all fuel pumps/recharging stations, to enable users/vehicle drivers to correctly choose the most suitable fuel for their vehicle. More specifically, fuel distributors and vehicle manufactures are required to affix on new vehicles and on all pumps of refuelling stations and recharging stations fuel labels that conform to EN 16942. For motor vehicles, the label must be affixed on all vehicles placed on the market for the first time or registered on or after 12 October 2018. A number of similar labels (currently being developed), will also be provided for electric or hybrid plug-in vehicles and relative refuelling stations, to inform users of the most suitable recharging procedures for their vehicle.
Another important development in 2018 was the government's approval of incentives to scrap vehicles for the purchase of electric and hybrid two-wheelers. The incentives do not cover electric bicycles or four wheelers. The 2018 Budget approved a 30% contribution on the final price (up to a maximum of ¤3000) for an electric or hybrid vehicle of a power of up to 11kW in category L1e (scooters) and L3e (motorcycles) for buyers, also using finance leases, who scrap a vehicle of the same Euro 0, 1 and 2 categories. The incentive is only for 2019 and funding of ¤10 million has been allocated. The Ministry of Economic Development along with the Ministry of the Environment must prepare and publish an implementing decree within 2 months of approval of the Budget (therefore before 1 March 2019) which defines the procedures for obtaining the incentives. The Piaggio Group, along with the industry association ANCMA (Italy's National Association for Cycle and Motorcycle Accessories), is in contact with representatives of ministries involved, to closely track developments in the decree.
Background The macroeconomic framework The market The regulatory framework
The Ministry for Transport and the Dutch Parliament have introduced an amendment to the Highway Code allowing local authorities to modify local traffic regulations. The city of Amsterdam has therefore decided to prohibit all MOFAs (scooters with engines and electric scooters that can travel at speeds of up to 25 km/h) from transiting along cycle lanes as from April 2019 and has made it compulsory for them to transit on roads and therefore for riders to wear a crash helmet. This prohibition will apply inside the A10 ring-road area, with a limited number of exceptions (for example on inner city ring-roads/through-ways, MOFAs may transit on cycle lanes and riders do not need to wear a crash helmet). Utrecht also intends introducing a similar ban in 2019.
Following a ruling by the Supreme Court, in October 2018, the new stage of Bharat VI emission standards (similar to Euro 5) was approved. The new emission limits will apply to all new vehicles as from 1 April 2020, therefore a few months before the entry into force of Euro 5 in the EU (as from 1 January 2021 for newly registered vehicles). Requirements for in-vehicle diagnostic systems should instead apply after EU dates.


The Piaggio Group is comprised of and operates by geographic segments (EMEA and the Americas, India and Asia Pacific) to develop, manufacture and distribute two-wheeler and commercial vehicles.
Each Geographic Segment has production sites and a sales network dedicated to customers in the relative segment. Specifically:
– EMEA and the Americas have production sites and deal with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles;
– India has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles;
– Asia Pacific 2W has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler vehicles.
For details of results and final capital invested by each operating segment, reference is made to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The volumes and turnover in the three geographic segments, also by product type, are analysed below.

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.

During 2018, the Piaggio Group sold a total of 393,100 two-wheeler vehicles worldwide, accounting for a net turnover equal to approximately ¤957.9 million, including spare parts and accessories (¤125.2 million, +3.3%). The overall growth in both volumes (+4.6%) and turnover (+1.7%) was generated by the excellent performance of India (+30.3% volume; +25.2% turnover; +30.9 turnover at constant exchange rates) and Asia Pacific (+9.7% volume; +3.6% turnover; +9.3% at constant exchange rates).
On the European market, the Piaggio Group achieved a 14.5% share in 2018 (15.1% in 2017), confirming its leadership position in the scooter segment, where it reached a 25.3% share (+1.1% over 2017). In Italy, the Piaggio Group is a well-established leader in the scooter segment (29.7%) and an important player on the domestic two-wheeler market (a 19.2% share in 2018 and a 20.1% share in 2017).
The Group, with its own sites in India and Vietnam, also operates in the "premium" segment of the Indian market and in Asia Pacific countries. In particular, Piaggio is one of the leading segment operators in Vietnam, which is the Group's main market in the Asian area.
On the North American market, Piaggio consolidated its position, increasing its share from 22.1% in 2017 to 23.9% in 2018. The Group is also committed to consolidating its operations in the motorcycle segment, with the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi brands.
12 Market shares are calculated based on "sell out" volumes, i.e. sales by the distribution network to end purchasers. Market shares for 2017 might differ from figures published last year, due to final vehicle registration data, which some countries publish with a few months' delay, being updated.
In EMEA, the Piaggio Group has a direct sales presence in main European countries. On other European markets and in the Middle East and Africa, it operates through importers.
In December 2018, the Group's sales network comprised 1,166 partners managing over 2,800 sales agency agreements for various brands. 37% of these dealers sell only Group brands (one or more), without handling competitors' products.
At present, the Piaggio Group is active in 82 countries in the area and in 2018 further consolidated its sales activities. Actions targeting the distribution network followed market trends in the area, focussing on a better qualitative/ quantitative balance for the sales network.
In addition, new sales and after-sales quality standards continued to be distributed, geared to offering end customers a better experience throughout the customer journey.
Guidelines on the distribution network cover the following areas:
In the Americas, the Piaggio Group is directly present in the United States and Canada, while in Latin America it operates through a network of importers. At the end of 2018, the Group had 221 partners, of which 169 in the United States, 34 in Canada and a network of 18 importers in Central and South America.
In 2018, the process to streamline and consolidate the distribution network continued, through the replacement and appointment of new partners to support the growth of Piaggio's brands with a special focus on the motorcycle segment and on consolidating the Group's presence in the scooter segment.
In Asia Pacific, the Piaggio Group is directly present in Vietnam, Indonesia, China and Japan, while on other markets it operates through importers managed by the Singapore subsidiary.
The distribution network is developed on an ongoing basis, in line with the Group's strategic objectives that plan to expand operations in the region.
Past and future actions in the Asia Pacific area include:
In Vietnam, the lead nation of the entire Asia Pacific area, the Group had 86 sales outlets throughout the country by the end of 2018, of which 36% Motoplexes. In Indonesia, Japan and China, Piaggio has a network of 38, 57 and 25 sales outlets respectively.
In other areas of Asia Pacific, the number of sales outlets totalled 245 at the end of 2018, with major changes to the current network focussed on the Motoplex concept. 14 distributors operate in 12 nations - Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, South Korea, New Zealand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Myanmar and Macau. 4 Motoplexes were opened in Hong Kong in 2018, the first Motoplex was inaugurated in Macau, while the Motoplex in Taipei was restyled.
In India, Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited had 229 dealers as of 31 December 2018, up considerably on the figure of 135 dealers at the end of 2017. At present, the network covers main areas throughout the country.
Investments mainly targeted the following areas:
As regards product investments in particular, considerable resources were allocated to developing new products to market on both European and Asian (Vietnamese and Indian) markets.
Industrial investments were also made, targeting safety, quality and the productivity of production processes.

The Commercial Vehicles category includes three- and four-wheelers with a maximum mass below 3.5 tons (category N1 in Europe) designed for commercial and private use, and related spare parts and accessories.
In 2018, the Commercial Vehicles business generated a turnover of approximately ¤431.6 million, including approximately ¤47.7 million relative to spare parts and accessories, registering a 10.6% increase over the previous year. During the year, 210,500 units were sold, up by 19.1% compared to 2017.
The growth is related to the expansion of the Indian market. On the Indian three-wheeler market, Group sales reversed their trend, increasing from 144,377 units in 2017 to 167,362 units in 2018, up by 15.9%; exports also improved (24,980 thee-wheeler vehicles; 14,097 in 2017) up by 77.2%.
On the domestic four-wheeler market, sales of Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited decreased by 22% in 2018 compared to 2017, closing with 1,822 units.
On the EMEA and Americas market, the Piaggio Group sold 16,300 units, generating a total net turnover of approximately ¤88.5 million, including spare parts and accessories for ¤16.5 million. The 3.2% increase in sales was supported by the good performance of the reference EMEA market.
The Piaggio Group operates in Europe and India on the light commercial vehicles market, with vehicles designed for short-range mobility in urban areas (European range) and suburban areas (the product range for India).
In Europe, the Group acts as operator on these markets in a niche segment (urban mobility), thanks to its range of low environmental impact products.
Piaggio operates in India in the passenger vehicle and cargo sub-segments of the three-wheeler market. It also operates on the four-wheeler light commercial vehicles (LCV) market (cargo vehicles for goods transport) with the Indian Porter range.
On the Indian three-wheeler market, Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited had a market share of 23.3% in 2018 (26.5% in 2017). Detailed analysis of the market shows that Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited maintained its market leader position in the goods transport segment (cargo segment) with a share of 44.9% (48.8% in 2017). Its market share, although decreasing, remained steady in the Passenger segment, at 18.7% (20.6% in 2017). On the four-wheeler market, Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited played a marginal role, with its share decreasing to 0.8% (1.7% in 2017).
14 Market shares are calculated based on "sell out" volumes, i.e. sales by the distribution network to end purchasers. Market shares for 2017 might differ from figures published last year, due to final vehicle registration data, which some countries publish with a few months' delay, being updated.
Results by type of product Two-wheeler Commercial Vehicles
Piaggio's sales network is going through considerable change, based on the current project to develop a new fourwheeler vehicle that will expand the product range and make its mark in a competitive scenario which differs from the current situation.
In Europe, the basically stable number of dealers (around 400) is the result of a balance between new appointments and streamlining actions, with some operators considered to no longer be in line with current and/or future expectations being withdrawn. In general, an assessment process was carried out in 2018 to define two separate distribution channels: one channel for the sale of three-wheelers and one for the sale of four-wheelers.
The characteristics of the future four-wheeler call for a dedicated network with operators specialised in professional vehicles, that are of a size and structure and have the skills and staff to contribute not only to guaranteeing outstanding coverage of the future potential market, but also to achieving a considerable quality upgrade. This is why Piaggio has not only assessed its current operators, but has also started to recruit dealers specialised in the sale of commercial vehicles, in order to realign upwards with the standards of all official operators by the end of 2019.
Ten new dealers were appointed on European markets in 2018 where Piaggio operates directly through its own sales network. Another twelve new operators will join the network in the first quarter of 2019.
Activities to develop the network on European markets where Piaggio operates through official importers involved some important engagement with various international groups from the automotive industry, capable in some cases of covering very extensive areas with their own, consolidated distribution network.
As regards non-European areas, with a view to developing the quality of Piaggio's operations, the process to revise the distribution network continued, with results continually being consolidated. Piaggio, including importers in Latin America, Africa and Asia, is present in 25 countries; the objective for 2019 is to increase and further consolidate coverage in terms of the company's general objectives.
India
In India, Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited has 424 dealers, up on the 365 dealers in 2017.
Investments mainly targeted the following areas:
Industrial investments were also made, targeting safety, quality and the productivity of production processes.

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.
At the end of 2018, a campaign was launched to update the risk assessment analysis, that will involve newly appointed company managers.
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 44 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
Strategic risks Financial risks Operating risks
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 Ethics15 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.
15 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.
16 January 2019 – The rating agency Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) notified its revised rating of the Piaggio Group (PIA.MI), from "B1" to "Ba3".

This "Non-Financial Statement" (hereinafter also "NFS" or statement), which will be prepared annually, is published by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (hereinafter "Piaggio" or the "Group") in compliance with Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 ("Implementation of Directive 2014/95/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 amending Directive 2013/34/EU as regards disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups).
| REPORTING | – Financial year 2018 (from 1 January to 31 December 2018). Data relative |
|---|---|
| PERIOD | to 2017 are presented for comparison. |
| SCOPE OF THE REPORT |
– The information and figures in the NFS refer to subsidiaries (Italian and foreign) and the Fondazione Piaggio and the activities they engaged in over the course of the year, unless otherwise indicated. Information on the Fondazione Piaggio, which is not included in the scope of consolidation of the Group, refers to qualitative aspects useful for understanding its focus on the social fabric, even though this information is not included in the scope of consolidation of quantitative information of the NFS. The report duly indicates when aggregate data derive from estimates. In some cases, data could be affected by rounding off defects due to the fact that figures are represented in millions of Euros; changes and the incidence in percent were calculated based on data expressed in thousands and not on the rounded figures expressed in millions. |
| CONTENTS OF THE REPORT |
– The contents of the NFS were selected based on a process of materiality, focussing on the non-financial topics required by the Directive. All sustainability issues are fully described in the 2018 CSR Report available at www.piaggio.com. |
| REPORTING | – The 2018 Non-Financial Statement has been prepared in compliance with the |
| STANDARD | "GRI Standards" (GRI-Referenced), published by Global Reporting Initiative. |
The "Table of correspondence with Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 - material topics – GRI Standards – core option" which clearly identifies the non-financial material topics for the Piaggio Group and standards used to report on each topic, is included at the end of the statement. This table also contains specific information in compliance with requirements of Legislative Decree no. 254/2016.
Consolidated non-financial statement - Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016 General Social and environmental-oriented policies and guidelines Description of the process to identify material issues for Non-Financial Statement purposes The business model Risk Management Fighting against corruption and compliance
The Piaggio Group has established a system of policies, including its anti-corruption policy and environmental, training, safety and quality policies, to guarantee compliance with principles of fairness, transparency, honesty and integrity in keeping with international standards on responsible business management.
The Group operates in diverse geographic, legal and cultural contexts. Therefore its policies and guidelines are put in place by each company through their own operating procedures and practices.
The cornerstone of the system is the Group's Code of Ethics - not only for employees, but also for suppliers who must sign and comply with the Code in order to work with Piaggio.
The Code of Ethics is adopted by all Group Companies and sets out the principles and values that inspire the entire organisation in a clear and transparent manner:
The contents are based on principles of materiality, the inclusion of stakeholders, the context of sustainability and completeness. The quality of information and adequacy of its presentation is guaranteed by principles of fairness, clarity, accuracy, timeliness, comparability and reliability.
The analysis process was conducted by the Group Consolidated Financial Statements Unit of the Administration, Finance and Control Function. The process comprises 4 stages:
The stage to identify sustainability topics that are relevant for the sector and Piaggio was based on a number of sources, including company policies and principles on conduct, the 2017 Sustainability Report and stakeholder engagement initiatives.
The Piaggio Group has always paid considerable attention to engaging with stakeholders, i.e. all entities inside and outside the organisation whose activities have an impact on company operations. In fact stakeholders are defined as having an interest in or expectations (social, economic, professional, human) of the company.
Based on this definition, the Group has identified a series of categories of stakeholders in relation to its operations.

The Group's top managers, and as from this year, a small but representative sample of categories of external stakeholders, were requested to compile a materiality form, combined and used to construct the materiality matrix. The 15 topics previously selected were positioned along the two axes:
Of the 15 topics identified, only biodiversity did not exceed the materiality threshold. Piaggio's production sites are not located in protected areas or areas with high levels of biodiversity. The sole exception is the Scorzè site, which although located in an industrial zone, conveys its waste water into the drainage basin of the Venetian Lagoon. As such, the production site is subject to restrictions imposed by specific laws.

The 2018 matrix was examined and approved by the Ethics Committee in the meeting of 11 January 2019.

Based on the results of materiality analysis, the format of the 2018 Non-Financial Statement was defined, focussing on non-financial material topics, as referred to in Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016. Similarly, the level of materiality of the topics - in turn broken down into detailed subtopics - influenced the level of depth with which the individual topics and GRI indicators were investigated, as well as the choice of the most suitable reporting tool to represent them (Consolidated Financial Statements, Corporate Governance Report and Corporate Social Responsibilty Report).
The following table shows:
– the material topics for the company, represented by dimension,
– the impact on stakeholders,
– the relative section in the Non-Financial Statement or reference to the most appropriate reporting document and

The Social Dimension
The Piaggio Group places its ongoing search for solutions for the mobility of people and things at the centre of its business model.
The Group's ultimate goal is the creation of long-term value through the effective and efficient use and management of available resources, constantly guided by the principles and values that make up the Code of Ethics.
Shareholders, bondholders and banks ensure that Piaggio has the financial resources it needs, on condition that their expected return on invested capital is met.
Human resources, and the skills, abilities and dedication offered by individuals, represent a key factor in Piaggio's competitiveness and growth at a global level. Everything we do as individuals or as a team is shaped by our strategic vision, result-driven approach, constant commitment to customer satisfaction, desire for innovation and awareness of the future needs of the market, to generate value for each and every stakeholder. People are the key element that enables us to meet challenges in an increasingly dynamic and competitive international scenario. It is for these reasons that Piaggio places such central importance on people in the organisation, assuring them our respect and protection in all Group companies.
The Piaggio Group is aware of the great value of innovation and research and believes in the importance of sharing knowledge and ideas and in the stimulus that it can give to improving technologies, processes and products. For this reason, the Piaggio Group has always been engaged on many fronts, with a view to consolidating the synergies between its research and development centres (located in Italy, India, Vietnam, the United States and China), external research environments and the industrial context in which it operates.
Every year, the Group's intensive research and development activities lead to patents being filed in the countries where it works.
The Piaggio Group operates on a global scale, with production sites in:
The Piaggio Group also operates via a joint venture company in China (Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycles, in Foshan, in the province of Guangdong), which is 45% owned by Piaggio (and therefore not consolidated in the Group's results).
The Piaggio Group is structured into and operates within geographic segments (EMEA and the Americas, India and Asia Pacific), for the development, manufacture and distribution of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles.

Each geographic area is equipped with production facilities and a sales network specifically dedicated to customers in this region.
The Group boast an agile and flexible production capacity, enabling it to adapt quickly to the needs of the market.
The Piaggio Group sells 2-wheeler vehicles under the brands Piaggio, Vespa, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Gilera, Derbi, Scarabeo and commercial vehicles under the brands Ape, Porter and Quargo (Ape Truck). Some of the Piaggio Group brands are the most prestigious and historic in the world of motorcycle racing: from Gilera (established in 1909), to Moto Guzzi (established in 1921), Derbi (1922) and Aprilia (1945), which has made a name for itself as one of the most successful manufacturers taking part in the world speed and superbike championships. In the scooter sector, the legendary Vespa brand has been synonymous with two-wheel mobility since 1946, and with over 18 million units produced to date, it represents a commercial success story of incredible longevity, as well as being one of the most recognisable icons of Italian style and technology in the world.
Piaggio distributes its products in more than 100 countries. It has an extensive distribution and sales network of qualified and reliable partners.
Since the right location is essential in order to enable each brand to express its values, for a number of years Piaggio has been using a new distribution format called "Motoplex", joined by more than 300 sales points around the world. The Motoplex concept revolves around the idea of "brand island" displays, placing the customer in the real experiential context of the brand being represented and providing an appropriate offering in terms of the vehicle, accessories and communications.
The main objective of the Piaggio Group is to meet the most progressive needs for mobility, through a deep understanding of people and their habits, reducing the environmental impact and fuel consumption of its vehicles, ensuring customers excellent levels of performance. In its effort to ensure the sustainability of its products, the Piaggio Group takes into account the entire life cycle, which comprises the design, procurement of raw materials, production proper, use of the product by customers and, finally, decommissioning, which consists in disassembly at the end of service life and in the disposal and/or recycling of the components and raw materials.
The Piaggio Group product range includes scooters, motorcycles and mopeds with engine displacements ranging from 50 to 1,400cc, as well as light commercial vehicles with three and four wheels.
In a society which is increasingly aware of the issue of sustainability, creating products with low environmental impact, in factories that are safe, non-polluting and do not waste resources, is becoming vital for survival.
Constant focus is placed on research into vehicles that are at the cutting edge in terms of:
Piaggio has a comprehensive quality management system to monitor end product quality levels in the various stages of the production process and prior to dispatch to the customer. The standard procedures introduced in all Piaggio Group plants enable the constant monitoring of the quality of all the vehicles produced, ensuring product standards that fully meet both regulatory and type approval specifications and the expectations of the end customer.
Some components are purchased externally in line with a global sourcing model that guarantees the quality and economy of the products supplied.

Consolidated non-financial statement - Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016
Piaggio aims at applying a model of sustainable development that not only satisfies the expectations of stakeholders (investors, shareholders, staff, suppliers, community, public administration) by guaranteeing economic and social sustainability, but also roots its actions in environmental sustainability, meaning the ability to safeguard natural resources and the ability for the ecosystem to absorb direct and indirect impacts generated by production activities. Specifically, Piaggio seeks to minimise the environmental impact of its industrial activities by carefully defining the manufacturing technological cycle and by using the best technology and the most modern production methods. The pursuit of these environmental sustainability goals is blazing a trail of ongoing improvement of environmental performance.
Piaggio si preoccupa di far sottoscrivere ai suoi fornitori il proprio codice etico, di modo da garantire il rispetto dei suoi valori etici lungo tutto il ciclo di produzione e vendita dei suoi prodotti. La sostenibilità per Piaggio non inizia e
Piaggio si propone di attuare un modello di sviluppo sostenibile che, oltre a soddisfare le aspettative degli stakeholder (investitori, azionisti, collaboratori, fornitori, comunità sociale, pubblica amministrazione) garantendo sostenibilità economica e sociale, poggia la propria azione sulla sostenibilità ambientale, intesa come capacità di salvaguardare le risorse naturali e la possibilità dell'ecosistema di assorbire gli impatti diretti e indiretti generati dall'attività produttiva. In particolare Piaggio persegue la minimizzazione dell'impatto ambientale dell'attività industriale attraverso un' attenta definizione del ciclo tecnologico di trasformazione e l'utilizzo delle migliori tecnologie e dei più moderni metodi di produzione. Il perseguimento di questi obiettivi di eco-compatibilità genera un percorso di miglioramento

Social and environmental-oriented policies and guidelines Description of the process to identify material issues for Non-Financial Statement purposes The business model Risk Management Fighting against corruption and compliance The Environmental Dimension The Social Dimension
The Piaggio Group started an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) project to define and implement a structured, integrated system to identify, measure and manage company risks in line with applicable best practices. As part of the 2017 Risk Assessment campaign, involving company managers across the Group, 129 risk scenarios were identified, comprising 26 categories which were grouped into 4 level-one macro-categories (External, Operational, Financial, Strategic Risks). In this framework, issues concerning environmental and social aspects, human resources, human rights and the fight against corruption were all analysed, as explained below. At the end of 2018, a campaign was launched to update the risk assessment analysis, that will involve newly appointed company managers.
The analysis refers to the actual and potential effects of the Group's operations on the environment considering, for example, atmospheric emissions, waste management practices, the use and conservation of natural resources, etc. Greenhouse gases (mainly CO2 ) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), released by solvents used in painting, are some of the most hazardous substances for air pollution generated by automotive operators. Structural measures taken for the Group's production sites have reduced pollutant emissions for some sites and resulted in stable levels for other sites.
Although the structure of the Company's production sites has been designed to run on fossil fuels, Piaggio is engaged in optimising the management of existing sites to cut consumption.
Operations to clean up sites were necessary because of historical site contamination: the pollutants removed had not been used for several decades by the sites, proving the historical nature of the contamination. Other cases of ground contamination (spills or other significant pollution episodes) have never concerned Group operations.
Piaggio has ISO 14001 environmental certification and invests each year to reduce the environmental impact of its production sites.
Despite a considerable risk level, in line with other industry operators, control measures adopted significantly reduce environmental risks.
Risks concerning personnel include all aspects of an inadequate management of the Group's human capital, including career paths, remuneration and training, diversity (age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religious beliefs, ethnic background, etc.) as well as risks relative to occupational health and safety and industrial relations.
Piaggio operates globally with employees in Europe, the Americas and Asia. It promotes diversity of gender, age, nationality, ethnic background, ideology and religious beliefs, as it endorses different ways of pursuing and achieving maximum performance within a single and broad-ranging Group organisational framework. The integration of disabled people into the workforce is also made possible in practice by the accessibility of company facilities and the existence of a relative company procedure.
Piaggio adopts a system of recruitment, development and salary packages for personnel which recognises and rewards merit and performance. Development tools are used to build on and continually improve skills, while empowering potential, recognising and rewarding outstanding performance. Reward policies are designed to reward individuals and recognise their contribution to the company, according to the criteria of competitiveness, fairness and meritocracy. The above mechanisms reduce potential risks related to these aspects to a residual level which is not significant.
The Piaggio Group acknowledges the role of trade union organisations and workers' representatives and is committed to establishing relations with them focussed on attention, dialogue and a common understanding; in fact, assessment and continual engagement are considered essential for identifying the best solutions for the company's specific needs. For these reasons and despite the high number of employees with trade union membership, strikes are infrequent.

The Social Dimension
As regards occupational health and safety, testing motorcycles with a medium and large engine capacity entails the highest risk levels. Generally, the risk of accidents/injuries to personnel is mitigated by adapting processes, adopting procedures and structures aligned with applicable occupational safety laws and international best standards, and promoting safe behaviour, through targeted training.
The social sphere includes aspects concerning Piaggio's relations with consumers, as well as the effects of the business on the community.
In the first case, product quality and reliability are essential and key to obtaining and guaranteeing customer satisfaction and safety. In the "Product – Operational Risk" category, risk scenarios relating to potential product defects have been mapped. 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 is also committed to being awarded and maintaining certification of its quality management systems at a global level (ISO 9001 or ISO/TS 16949).
As set out in the Code of Ethics, adopted in 2004, Piaggio specifically prohibits any form of discrimination or forced labour. This Code has been distributed to all subsidiaries and clearly states the principles and values the entire organisation takes inspiration from.
Based on the significant and specific nature of the Indian market, the following have been adopted: the Code of Business Conduct & Ethics and Whistle Blower Policy in 2016; the latter is designed to protect people reporting infringements of the Code, and therefore to guarantee the Code's validity; a Policy on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment of women at the workplace.
Based on prevention and control mechanisms established in the Code of Ethics and adopted by all Group subsidiaries, no risk scenarios relative to the violation of human rights were identified.
The fight against both active and passive corruption comes under the risk categories "Internal/external offences" of the Group's risk model. In its Code of Ethics, Piaggio strictly prohibits any practice of corruption, request for and/or provision of preferential treatment, of any collusive behaviour, solicitation, whether direct/indirect and/or through third parties, of personal benefits of any kind for oneself and/or for others, of material benefits and/or any other advantage of any extent in favour of third parties.
A number of processes, procedures, roles and responsibilities have been defined to achieve the above objective, as regards business negotiations/relations with the public administration sector and with private entities.
The controls briefly described above decrease residual risk relative to episodes of active/passive corruption to a negligible level.
As stated in the Code of Ethics, in pursuing its mission the Group ensures, through appropriate tools, including organisational tools, compliance with the absolute prohibition of any practice of corruption, request for and/ or provision of preferential treatment, of any collusive behaviour, solicitation, whether direct/indirect and/or through third parties, of personal benefits of any kind for oneself and/or for others, of material benefits and/or any other advantage of any extent in favour of third parties, whether they be private or public entities or government representatives, both Italian and foreign.
When participating in public tenders or competitions called by the Public Administration as well as in any negotiations or contracts entered into with both the Public Administration and private entities, all those involved must behave according to good faith and in accordance with the law, correct commercial practice and current regulations, as well as with corresponding company procedures, avoiding any situation from which violation of laws and/or principles of fairness and transparency in the conduct of negotiations may arise. Such negotiations must be conducted only by those previously and expressly authorised to do so, respecting roles and in accordance with corporate procedures. Adequate mechanisms for traceability of information flows towards the contracting party must also be put in place. Any request for advantages, any intimidating and/or constrictive or oppressive behaviour on the part of Public Administration officials or third contracting parties or which come to the knowledge of operators must be immediately reported.
Functional managers who liaise with the Public Administration must:
The Social Dimension
Identical conduct guidelines to those indicated for relations with the Public Administration must also be adopted with regard to relations with any private third party, such as suppliers, customers, competitors, partners and/or any contractual counterparty. In this regard, the section on corporate offences in the Model 231 was updated, with the following introduction, implementing Legislative Decree no. 38 of 15 March 2017 (implementing Council Framework Decision 2003/568/JHA of 22 July 2003 on combating corruption in the private sector), as well as measures introduced by article 2635 of the Italian Civil Code on the offence of "corruption between private individuals" and the introduction of the new offence "instigating corruption between private individuals", whereby corruption is a punishable offence even if the offer is not accepted (article 2635 bis of the Italian Civil Code).
When contributions, grants or financial support are requested from the State, the public corporations or the European Union, all employees involved in such procedures must:

authentic and appropriate documentation, so that careful inspections can be carried out at any time regarding the characteristics and the motivations of the operation, and the individuation of those who have authorised, carried out, registered and verified the operation itself.
No incidents of corruption occurred in the reporting year.
The internal control and risk management system of Piaggio & C. includes the Organisational, Management and Control Model for the prevention of corporate offences pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 ("Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001"), which Piaggio & C. has adopted since 2004, with major revisions and updates approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 26 February 2018.
The Model starts with the Code of Ethics, followed by general principles of internal control and guidelines for conduct, and is divided into two parts.
The first part is general, and includes an overview of the legal framework, followed by a description of the Model's function and operation within the Company; sections are also included on the disciplinary system, as well as a description of the role, composition, functioning and duties of the Supervisory Body.
The last revision, in compliance with Law 179/2017, introduced an entirely new section with regulations on whistleblowing designed to protect workers that report unlawful activities and irregularities that come to their knowledge during their work.
To guarantee the confidentiality of the identity of the person reporting information, the Company, in compliance with applicable legislation, believes that the management of reported information must involve the Supervisory Body appointed pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001. The system to protect persons reporting information, introduced by Law 179/2017, covered by article 6 of Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, indirectly (although not specifically) gives the Supervisory Body appointed pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 the duty of receiving and managing reported information on possible unlawful activities and breaches of the Model or Code. The Company has therefore set up two communication channels: via fax (0587 219027) and via an email address of the dedicated Supervisory Body ([email protected])
The second, "special" section formalises specific decision-making protocols by "sensitive process" in relation to the individual categories of offences the section refers to.
The Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 – widely distributed by e-mail to all Piaggio Group senior management, middle management and employees in Italy, as well as published on the company intranet – is constantly monitored and periodically updated.
Piaggio & C. has also established a "Fraud Policy" with information channels for receiving, analysing and processing reported fraud that may involve employees, directors and partners of Piaggio and Group Companies. The policy is another instrument that the Piaggio Group has adopted to prevent infringement of the principles of lawfulness, transparency, fairness and loyalty which the Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 takes inspiration from.
The Model is available on the institutional site (www.piaggiogroup.com) in the section Governance/Governance System.
During 2018, none of the Piaggio Group companies were affected by episodes concerning employee discrimination or the breach of employee rights. Moreover, no infringement procedures have been filed against the Piaggio Group for the breach of anti-competitive or anti-trust laws.
As of 31 December 2018, there were no sanctions in place concerning non-compliance with laws and regulations concerning environmental matters, marketing, advertising, promotions, sponsorships and the supply and use of products.
Finally, no cases regarding the breach of consumer privacy or loss of consumer data were reported in 2018.

Piaggio has organised its processes and activities through a management system which focuses on Quality, the Environment and the Health and Safety of Workers, with a view to providing a model of sustainable development that not only guarantees lasting success, but which also ensures that the expectations of stakeholders are met (including investors, shareholders, partners, suppliers, the social community and public administration).
Environmental sustainability - understood as the ability to protect and safeguard natural resources, combined with the capacity of the ecosystem to absorb the direct and indirect impacts generated by manufacturing activities - is among the key focal points of Group Policy, as expressed by the company's senior management team. This concept provides the basis for the environmental certification (ISO 14001) process that has already been launched (or is being continued) at the various production sites, and is an essential point of reference for every Group company, wherever they may operate.
Specifically, Piaggio seeks to minimise the environmental impact of its industrial activities by carefully defining the product design, the manufacturing technological cycle and by using the best technology and the most modern production methods. Pursuing these objectives generates continual improvement in environmental performance, not only in production but also throughout the product life cycle.
Quantitative data on the mitigation of the environmental impact resulting from the Group's operations are reported on in the sections below.
With these objectives in mind, initiatives and goals for the future focus on the following areas:
– maintaining environmental certification awarded to all production sites;
The Piaggio Group has defined a specific organisational structure to achieve the environmental sustainability objectives of its production sites.
The responsibilities and roles of the Environmental Management System (EMS) with Organisational Units / Functions involved are reported in the Quality, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Management Manuals, for sites in Italy.

Il Gruppo Piaggio ha implementato già da diversi anni, presso le proprie sedi, un sistema di gestione ambientale
L'indirizzo del Gruppo è quello di ottimizzare la gestione degli impianti e minimizzare gli sprechi energetici. L'approvvigionamento energetico viene effettuato tramite primarie società energetiche la cui produzione deriva in parte rilevante da fonti rinnovabili. In particolare il fornitore di energia scelto in Italia dichiara un mix produttivo derivante per circa la metà da fonti rinnovabili,
Sebbene la struttura dei siti produttivi del Gruppo sia stata progettata sulla base di fonti di alimentazione che utilizzano energia da fonti di origine fossile, Piaggio tende comunque ad ottimizzare la gestione degli impianti esistenti per ottenere riduzioni dei consumi. In particolare, in fase di riassetto di impianti o di loro ristrutturazione, le Tecnologie effettuano valutazioni e studi per
Soprattutto nelle attività più complesse risulta determinante per il conseguimento di risultati apprezzabili poter disporre di una capilllare rete di monitoraggio dei principali vettori energetici; nel caso dello Stabilimento di Pontedera, dove già a partire dal 2016 è stato avviato un deciso percorso di ricerca e riduzione degli sprechi energetici grazie all'implementazione del sistema di Smart Metering, che rende fruibili, osservabili, confrontabili in tempo quasi reale (con un ritardo di 3 ore) ed analizzabili i consumi misurati dagli oltre 90 contatori del comprensorio, sono chiaramente visibili i risultati conseguiti. Le variazioni dei consumi degli altri siti italiani, quantitativamente poco rilevanti rispetto a quella del sito di Pontedera, possono essere imputate alla variazione dei volumi produttivi e alla gestione degli impianti di riscaldamento in funzione delle
Per i siti asiatici si riscontra un generale aumento dei consumi imputabile al notevole incremento della produzione. Anche in queste realtà viene sempre mantenuta alta l'attenzione sull'efficienza energetica. A testimonianza di questo impegno uno studio svolto sui consumi energetici degli anni 2018 e 2017 nello Stabilimento di Baramati ha dimostrato che per pezzo

mentre per la società che opera in Olanda l'approvvigionamente energetico deriva totalmente da fonti rinnovabili.
For several years now, the Piaggio Group has implemented an environmental management system at its sites in compliance with UNI EN ISO 14001.
The aim of the Group is to optimise plant management and minimise energy waste. Energy is procured from leading energy companies whose production is mainly from renewable sources. In particular, the energy supplier in Italy has declared a production mix of which around half from renewable sources, while for the company in Holland, energy procured is entirely from renewable sources.
Although the structure of the company's production sites has been designed to run on fossil fuels, Piaggio is engaged in optimising the management of existing sites to cut consumption. Specifically, when reconfiguring or restructuring plants, the Technology functions carry out evaluations and analysis with a view to introducing machinery and methods that minimise environmental impact.
Having an extensive monitoring network of main energy carriers is important for achieving noticeable results, especially in more complex activities. For example, since 2016, the Pontedera site has been adopting measures to reduce energy waste with a smart metering system that can use, observe, compare on a nearly real time basis (with a delay of 3 hours) and also analyse the consumption recorded by over 90 meters at the site, with clearly-visible results. Changes in consumption at other Italian sites, which are negligible in quantitative terms compared to the Pontedera site, are due to variations in production volumes and heating system management based on recorded outdoor temperatures.
At Asian sites, consumption has generally gone up, due to the considerable increase in production. The focus on energy efficiency is also kept high at these sites. A study of energy consumption at the Baramati site in 2018 and 2017 shows a 4.94% reduction in energy needed per part produced (engines), demonstrating the Group's commitment to this aspect.

Greenhouse gases (mainly CO2 ) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), released by solvents used in painting, are some of the most hazardous substances for air pollution generated by automotive operators.
Structural works (replacement of boilers and restructuring of distribution networks), carried out over time and already described in previous financial statements, show that changes made have been appropriate. In 2018 emission levels were substantially in line with those already detected in previous years.

For sites located in Italy, the conversion criteria of the "Emission Trading" Directive (Directive 2003/87/EC) were used to determine gases with a greenhouse effect resulting from the use of diesel, fuel oil and methane.
With reference to CO2 emissions, the industrial plant at Pontedera comes under the sensitivity area classification of the "Emission Trading" directive (Directive 2003/87/EC) which implements the Kyoto Protocol. The site is classed as a "Group A" site, relative to companies releasing the lowest amount of CO2 indicated in the Directive.
CO2 emissions are almost entirely due to the combustion of methane, marginally to the combustion of diesel fuel in back-up power generators and extremely small amounts from the combustion of VOCs in the painting postcombuster.
The monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from the Pontedera plant are governed by a specific Group procedure, which is periodically audited in-company and annually audited by a certification body.
A chart summarising CO2 emissions from Piaggio's plant at Pontedera for the year 2005 onwards is given below. The amounts shown have been certified by the assessment body accredited by the National Competent Authority (ANC), except for the 2018 figure, the certification of which is planned for March 2019.

The quantity of VOCs emitted by the Pontedera site also decreased in 2018, improving on the 2017 figure, thanks to new scooter painting plant becoming fully operational. The increase in VOC emissions from the Baramati site is due to the considerable increase in the number of scooters manufactured, while the decrease recorded for the Vinh Phuc site, although considerable in percentage terms, is not significant in quantitative terms.

Piaggio has always recognised the immense value of the natural resources it uses and has developed production processes designed to reduce water consumption. At the Pontedera site, water supply wells have inverters that can regulate system flow rates based on the amount of water required by the hydraulic loop.

At the Mandello site, where water from wells is used only for cooling systems, consumption went up considerably due to an increased use of these cooling systems.
Water consumption has increased slightly overall as a result of the increase in production volumes. Piaggio will continue to engage in activities and targeted checks in order to achieve further reductions, in the belief that minimising the use of this resource is an essential obligation.
As regards waste water, environmental respect is ensured with processes to treat and purify waste water.
Below we report the destination of waste water produced, estimated to be equivalent to the amount of water supply used, for each production site:
Only the Baramati and Vinh Phuc sites re-use some of the water collected. Approximately 173,677 m3 of water were recycled and re-used by the Indian site in 2018, equal to 54.0% of the total amount drawn by the site. At the Vietnamese factory, waste water recovery amounted to 13,143 m3 /y, equal to approximately 10.2%.

Handling and recovering waste is a fundamental part of the Group's environmental policy.
In this context, Italian sites increased their percentages of recovered waste in 2018, with up to and over 95% of waste produced recovered.
Asian sites considerably stepped up their production, which led to an increase in the amount of waste produced. Lastly, it should be noted that the separation of hazardous from non-hazardous waste and the possibility of recovering waste is affected by local regulations.

With the overall amount of waste produced going up considerably, the percentage of hazardous waste and its allocation in the last three years was basically stable.
Based on an analysis per type, most of the waste produced was metal waste (iron, aluminium, turning material, etc.) and packaging material (cardboard, wood, etc.). For example at the Pontedera site, approximately 4,000 tons of packaging and 1,200 tons of metal are produced, with these two categories comprising nearly 80% of waste generated.
In 2018, as in previous years, no spills or polluting events of significance occurred at any of Piaggio's sites. At the Mandello and Pontedera, decontamination initiatives are under way due to historic contaminations of the sites. These situations emerged during demolition work in Mandello and during environmental monitoring campaigns in Pontedera. In both cases, the pollutants found have not been used in the production sites for several decades, providing the historical nature of their origin. In accordance with legal obligations, the two situations have been reported to the relevant authorities and managed according to their instructions.
The Group's commitment to environmental sustainability is further demonstrated by the ¤1.2 million invested in the environment by Italian production sites in 2018.

The Group has consolidated its logistics model aimed at benefiting from the synergies among various distribution centres in Europe and identifying opportunities for optimisation, paying particular attention to service quality aspects. To optimise distribution the model calls for targeted management of departures and routes to travel. The procedure also disciplines:
To reduce transfer needs to a minimum the model requires that produced vehicles are stored in the distribution centre adjacent to the production site and that importing of overseas products is centralised.
Thanks to centralised management of all logistics centres (Pontedera, Scorzè, Mandello):
As part of vehicle distribution activities (for the contract valid for 2017-2019), the strategy to improve operating activities already underway continued. As a result, distribution activities for two-wheeler and commercial vehicles were basically stable in 2018 compared to 2017.
As part of activities to streamline distribution warehouses, a new distribution warehouse for Moto Guzzi vehicles (manufactured at the Mandello site) and Aprilia vehicles was set up, directly at the Scorzè site, making it possible to eliminate all transit necessary to store vehicles manufactured at the Aprilia site. Similarly, a project is being started at the Pontedera site, enabling vehicles to be packed only during the dispatch stage. This will make it possible to combine the warehouses for packed and unpacked vehicles in 2019, eliminating all transfers of packed vehicles to the external warehouse, which will no longer be used.
Activities have started to have paperless transport documents as far as possible so that hard copy documents can be nearly entirely phased out.
The production centres in India and Vietnam also set up procedures aimed at minimising the number of trips for shipping produced vehicles and consumption of packing materials.

The Piaggio Group supports and undertakes to support the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the fundamental labour standards established by the International Labor Organization. The Group acknowledges that it is responsible for taking a firm approach to human rights (including modern slavery and issues related to human trafficking), and is dedicated to supplementing and continuously improve the policies and controls it has in place to protect itself from any form of slavery, servitude, human trafficking and forced labour that may take place within the company or its supply chain.
Group companies must comply with local laws and regulations and must conduct their activities in line with the Code of Ethics and its core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. The Code of Ethics underpins Piaggio's commitment to behave in a responsible and respectful manner, and helps staff and contractors to make informed, ethical and legal decisions. Suppliers all over the world who wish to do business with Piaggio must sign the Group's general supply conditions, which include the Code of Ethics.
In 2017, the Group supplemented the Code of Ethics with specific, direct and unequivocal references to the issue of human rights (including modern slavery and issues related to human trafficking), and is committed to ensuring that its employees and partners behave in an ethical manner and with integrity and transparency in all business relationships. The updated Code of Ethics stipulates that Piaggio must respect fundamental human rights in its activities and in its supply chain.
In order to uphold the highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct, Piaggio encourages its employees to report suspected cases of misconduct without fear of unjust punishment or treatment.
The whistle-blowing policy, initially developed for the Group's Indian company, aims to provide a safe channel for employees and other interested parties to raise doubts about violations of legal or regulatory requirements. For this purpose, in compliance with Law 179/2017, an entirely new section with regulations on whistle-blowing designed to protect workers that report unlawful activities and irregularities that come to their knowledge during their work was added to the last revision of the Organisational, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 .
Human resources, with their skills, capacities and dedication, are a key factor in Piaggio's competitiveness and growth.
Everything we do as individuals or as a team is shaped by our strategic vision, our results-driven approach, our constant commitment to customer satisfaction, our desire for innovation and our awareness of future market scenarios, to generate value for each and every stakeholder. People are the key element that enables us to meet challenges in an increasingly dynamic and competitive international scenario.
It is for these reasons that Piaggio places such central importance on people in the organisation, assuring them our respect and protection in all Group companies.
Over the years, the Group has always focussed on aligning its organisation with international best practices. During 2018, it continued reorganisation activities to support its goals of achieving business growth, developing new products and improving efficiency and productivity.
As of 31 December 2018, Group employees numbered 6,515, down by 105 (-1.6%) compared to 31 December 2017.

The Group pursues an innovative organisation as a way of creating a competitive edge and supporting a multicultural, multinational, lean dimension focussed on the customer and on generating value.
In its relations with staff and regardless of the work they carry out, Piaggio respects the principles set forth by the Group's Code of Ethics in all circumstances, as well as the laws in force in the geographic areas where it operates. Piaggio does not resort to child labour according to the age limits in force in the various countries or to forced labour and adheres to main international laws, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the 1998 Human Rights Act.
During 2018, resourcing activities mainly concerned top-level professionals and specialists, with considerable use of digital tools and social media.
The use of digital tools shared at a global level supports the dissemination of common methodologies and approaches.
Development and career paths at Piaggio are mainly based on the assessment of managerial and technical skills, behaviour, performance and potential, with the aim of creating a pool of highly-motivated individuals to fill key positions. The development of the core skills necessary to remain in step with evolving markets and business is a priority. This is why the Group's human resources development policies focus on building, maintaining and developing factors that are instrumental for competing in international contexts which are continually evolving.
Piaggio has identified a managerial skills model, which constitutes the set of behaviours to be put into practice each day, in order to ensure the success of the manager in question and the Group as a whole at global level.
At the same time, Piaggio has developed a reference model regarding the various professional skills required, which represent the shared assets of professionalism and expertise that constitute the true foundation of the company, and serve as the only real guarantee of continuity and quality of results.
In 2018, gap analysis was conducted, in order to establish training plans to improve skills compared to the previous year.


The goal of development tools is to build and improve the managerial and professional skills required by the respective models, while bringing potential to fruition and assessing and rewarding excellent performance and safeguarding specific technical know-how. Specifically, the tools used by Piaggio include:
– development plans, which identify the actions to be taken for employee development;

– job rotation and participation in strategic or international projects;
– management and professional training (see "Training" section);
– the talent management programme for younger employees (see the "talent management" section).
During 2018, development actions to reinforce the Group's international presence and promote the development of individuals who demonstrate potential were consolidated. In fact, a balanced mix of nationalities from countries where the Group operates took part in the talent programme.
For our highest value human assets, management and professional career paths are designed in order to cover key roles and ensure that the strategic and technological know-how of the Group is kept and developed at the international level. In line with market best practices, Piaggio deploys a number of tools for the supervision and management of succession plans with regard to key Group positions, and in 2018, the Group used the global IT platform to test the methodology implemented, which also takes into account the skills and performances recorded each year.
The Group places great importance on using transparent criteria and methods for reviewing employees with respect to: – performance,
as regards their specific role and company needs.
Both the evaluator and the person being evaluated are given the opportunity to share the result of the performance and skills assessment, and to add to this with suggestions for the establishment of the individual development and training path, to be implemented in accordance with a clearly defined time scale through the dedicated SAP SuccessFactors IT platform.
Employees are evaluated by comparing their competencies against the company model for their specific role, as evidenced by concrete and observable behavioural indicators relative to their everyday work. The review process is managed in an integrated way through a dedicated IT platform and provides the information necessary for the processes of succession planning, management reviews and a gap analysis of professional competencies, which are conducted across the Group.
Performance evaluation influences both development and career paths and rewarding. During 2018, the Evaluation Management System was further consolidated at Group level. This standard evaluation system is for all white collar and managerial staff, assisted by computer tools for the real-time management of all evaluations, for human capital development purposes.

Reward policies are designed to reward individuals and recognise their contribution to the company, according to the criteria of competitiveness, fairness and meritocracy, which are openly shared throughout the evaluation processes, in order to motivate and retain those individuals who make significant contributions to the achievement of business results.
The Group reward system is differentiated for the various professional groups in the company, and consists of a fixed salary component and variable objective- and benefits-based incentive systems.
Piaggio offers to new recruits and all its employees a salary package in line with best market practices. Accordingly, Piaggio has adopted a structured salary review process based on:
On the basis of internal analyses carried out in each country of activity, no significant differences were detected within the Piaggio Group between the basic salary and the remuneration of men compared to women with the same category, experience and assigned duties. This basic uniformity in salaries for male and female staff is also confirmed by analysis of the minimum salary of new recruits and guaranteed compliance with limits of local legislation.

24 Categories not reported in individual geographic segments do not have any female employees.
Consolidated non-financial statement - Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016 General Social and environmental-oriented policies and guidelines Description of the process to identify material issues for Non-Financial Statement purposes The business model Risk Management Fighting against corruption and compliance The Environmental Dimension
The achievement of excellent results in terms of objectives set by the company is rewarded through variable incentive systems, focused on business-related qualitative and quantitative objectives as well as on the internal efficiency of each area of responsibility.
The full process of setting objectives and reviewing results is conducted with employees, using objective criteria.
Piaggio offers a benefits package in line with best local market practices, which is structured on an organisational basis. Benefits include, by way of example:
– agreements with local groups and facilities of interest for employees.
Benefits are provided to full-time as well as to part-time employees without differentiation.
The Group rejects any form of discrimination on the basis of gender, age, nationality, ethnic background, ideology or religion. It operates in strict compliance with law and with contractual requirements, and in keeping with the customs, practices and usages of each country in which Piaggio operates.
Piaggio operates globally with a diversity of employees, in terms of age and gender, in Europe, the Americas and Asia. For Piaggio, managing diversity means acknowledging and respecting differences as part of the shared substratum of company culture. Staff diversity represents various different ways of pursuing and achieving the highest levels of performance within a single, broader Group organisational design.
The Group's concrete commitment to embracing diversity is reflected by its adoption of a Code of Ethics, conformity to international laws on equal opportunities and use of policies that protect forms of diversity already found within the company.
The Group seeks to spread its culture and values throughout the world through shared digital platforms (company intranet and tools supporting the work of HR such as the Success Factor, Piaggio Global Training), with a view to creating the conditions for promoting an international mindset and building a truly multinational organisation, in which all employees can benefit from equal opportunities.
Human resources management processes are conducted applying the same principles of merit, fairness and transparency in all the countries in which the Group operates, with the accent placed on aspects of relevance for the local culture.
Piaggio selects and hires its staff based solely on the candidates' characteristics and experiences and the requirements of the position. As shown in the graph below(25), Piaggio promotes and supports the recruitment of candidates from many parts of the world, to contribute to the international mindset that is a key value for the Group.

25 Figures include senior managers, first- and second-level executives reporting to top management at Piaggio & C SpA, and the first- and second-level executives of subsidiaries.

COMPANY EMPLOYEES UP TO 30 YEARS OF AGE BY GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018
Our companies apply laws passed by pertinent national legislation.
The Group does not discriminate in any way against women who take maternity leave. Indeed, to support workchild care balance, a horizontal part-time contract has been granted to 181 employees in Italy. In addition, as further support for work-life balance, employees at the Pontedera site can benefit from an agreement for childcare support (see the Industrial Relations section).
As demonstration of the above, the following information has been provided for the companies where the phenomenon is more numerically significant26.

The Piaggio Group's internal communication guidelines are designed to keep employees informed with regard to business performance and prospects, bringing them closer to top management strategies.
The system is based on the conviction that sharing strategic objectives with every employee is a key factor to success. Piaggio uses communication and information tools which respect and empower the social and cultural realities within the Group.
In particular, in Italy there is an active national intranet portal, "PiaggioNet", which provides information on the Group, with company news and the latest on the product ranges of the various brands, as well as a range of staff services (e.g. online coupons, transfer management, manuals/internal procedures, Piaggio Global Training platform and direct access to the online company publication Wide Piaggio Group Magazine, which is also published on the Group's websites, is updated on a continual basis and available in Italian and English versions). Through specific intranet stations ("Piaggio InfoPoint"), located in the Italian factories of the Piaggio Group, blue collars also have access to news (company news, new products) and to many services using their corporate badge.
Similar information is made available to the employees of foreign subsidiaries through the dedicated intranet portal "PiaggioNet International", whose contents are published in English.
26 The figures refer only to parental leave requested up to the child's first birthday.
Additional specific initiatives are provided for employees of premises in Asia and India, for example:
The Piaggio Group acknowledges the role of trade union organisations and workers' representatives and is committed to establishing relations with them focussed on attention, engagement and a common understanding; in fact ongoing dialogue is considered as fundamental for finding the best solutions to specific company needs.
The Group's approach lies in involving workers and their representatives in the pursuit of company objectives, establishing a continuous dialogue with them. The solutions and conduct adopted in various countries where the Group operates are in line with the social and institutional context, but are always consistent with the fundamental principles and overall needs of the Group.
Piaggio complies with the labour legislation of countries where it operates. The minimum notice to give in the case of major organisational changes depends on the country where the employee works and on local applicable legislation.
During 2018, dialogue and discussion continued with trade unions and workers' representatives, with the aim of seeking shared solutions, in order to respond to market situations and to manage the effect of these on employees. Collective bargaining has made it possible to identify shared management tools which are suitable for dealing with the consequences of the long-term crisis in the sector, safeguarding the skills present in the company, encouraging their use and preventing them from being lost.
The National Collective Bargaining Agreement (CCNL) is valid throughout Italy. In the case of major organisational changes, provisions of law and of the relative collective bargaining agreement are complied with. In August 2017, the trade union organisations FIM, FIOM and UILM presented a platform to discuss an additional (second level) agreement for production units in Italy. Various meeting were held from 2017 onwards. Negotiations are still underway, involving trade union representatives from various sites (Pontedera, Noale, Scorzè and Mandello
del Lario), and the provincial and national staff of industry trade unions.
As regards the Pontedera site, which is now fully established as a centre of excellence in innovation, research and design and in the production of vehicles and engines, a new trade union agreement was signed in October 2017 for use of the Solidarity Contract from October 2017 to April 2018.
The Solidarity Contract was subsequently resumed, to run from November 2018 to March 2019.
In February 2018, a mobility procedure was launched for 180 employees was accepted and started in order to downsize staff activities and structurally rebalance the production workforce.
The Scorzè site was involved in the Solidarity Contract in the first quarter of 2018, following the agreement signed in October 2017; at the end of July 2018, a further agreement for a Special Redundancy Fund for reorganisation was signed, ending on 8 January 2019.
The Ordinary Redundancy Fund was also used on a residual basis in June/July 2018.
In October 2017, an agreed-on redundancy procedure was accepted and started for 70 employees in order to structurally rebalance the production workforce.
As regards the Mandello del Lario production site, the increase in production during summer 2018 was addressed with temporary employment contracts and flexible weekly working hours. The Ordinary Redundancy Fund was also used on a residual basis at the end of 2018.

A structured company welfare system has been established in Italy, with services that aim to increase the well-being of employees and their families, in economic and social terms. In particular, two childcare agreements are in place for employees at the Pontedera site.
Moreover, a national trade union agreement at the end of 2011 established a private health insurance fund (Métasalute) for metal and steel processing workers in Italy; the company started paying its contributions to the fund in 2012. Membership of the plan, which was initially on a voluntary basis, has been automatic for all Group employees since October 2017.
The scheme also includes health benefits/services for employees:
All sites also offer employees vaccinations free of charge.
In Vietnam, trade union representatives at a company level (selected by a company trade union committee) are tasked with protecting employees, helping them to understand aspects concerning labour regulations and company policies, and providing economic support for some company initiatives benefiting employees.
In particular, the current Trade Union Committee, elected in February 2014 and comprising 15 members who will remain in office for 6 years, made an excellent contribution in 2018, having sponsored and assisted the company in a number The Social Dimension
of initiatives to bolster employee motivation. The main events are outlined below, following on from those organised last year:
A company football tournament was also held, to increase team spirit through sport. No strikes took place in 2018.
The Indian subsidiary has always based trade union relations on cooperation, seeking to establish an ongoing dialogue and exchange of views. The company and the trade unions acknowledge that it is in the mutual interest of employees and the Piaggio Group to guarantee and pursue greater productivity and higher quality of products, as well as ensuring excellent factory operating process function, all of which enable the company to remain competitive in an environment like the automotive sector which, even in India, constantly demands innovation in its work processes.
In India, trade unions have a two-tier structure: one at company level and the other at local/area level; this structure is also replicated at the Indian subsidiary where the trade union system comprises a company trade union committee with Piaggio workers' representatives, and a central trade union committee, which is the highest hierarchical level, with members selected by the trade union. Currently, the company trade union committee (appointed in November 2018 and with an annual term of office) is made up of 8 members.
At the Indian subsidiary, a collective bargaining agreement is negotiated and signed, at regular intervals. The agreement, which expired in July 2013, was renegotiated and renewed in March 2018, following trade union negotiations without any episodes of conflict. The agreement is for four years.
In 2018, besides signing the above agreement, main activities concerning industrial relations focused on:

Safeguarding and improving the health and safety of workers has always been integral to the Group's operations and is a strategic commitment which is positioned among the Group's more general objectives. This principle is valid and adopted in all countries where the Group operates. In particular, the Group has taken concrete actions for:
All employees guarantee and work together to put in place effective occupational health and safety programmes, to safeguard their own and others' safety.
Prevention and protection activities to safeguard the health of workers in a complex industrial context like the Piaggio Group, both in Italy and abroad, can only be achieved through an adequately structured organisation which specifically aims to foster a "culture" of safety within the company. Therefore, the belief that safety must focus on behaviours and daily activities is today disseminated at all levels. This approach has led the Piaggio Group to adopt very similar safety management standards in all the countries in which it operates, regardless of the presence of less stringent regulatory constraints with respect to the Group's standards. In this framework, the sites in Italy, India and Vietnam have an Occupational Health and Safety Management System certified to OHSAS 18001 by an accredited certification body. The checks are carried out annually, and were once again concluded successfully in 2018.
With the expiry of the certification of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (end of 2019), Italian sites will migrate from BS OHSAS 18001 to the new standard ISO 45001:2018.
In line with requirements of the new version of ISO 45001:2018, the number of meetings with workers' safety representatives has been increased at the Pontedera site, in order to further consolidate consultation and participation with a view to continually improving the Occupational Health and Safety Management System; during these meetings the results of the analysis of accidents and their causes are discussed.
In line with Occupational Health and Safety Management System requirements, the Group has identified safety training as the key driver for disseminating a culture and fostering a conduct focussed on safety leadership and for generating commitment and steering conduct.
Promoting health is another important aspect for Piaggio, and this is achieved based on two areas of action: free testing and information campaigns on healthy lifestyles. Each Group site has a health unit for prevention, surveillance and first aid, manned by specialist medical and paramedical staff.
During the year, implementation of the SAP H&S IT application continued, with the assistance of the Information Technology department. This software is dedicated to managing Health and Safety aspects and covers the following in particular: accident management, reporting risk conditions and management logs, risk assessment and health surveillance. During 2019, aspects related to the following modules will be implemented: audits & inspections, managing findings and nonconformities, tracking register, company emergency plan, managing personal protective equipment, managing contractors, occupational diseases and dashboard & reporting.
The objectives that will be pursued with these projects are:
As far as procedural aspects are concerned, the tasks and duties of the various offices of the company have been clearly defined and the various responsibilities have been identified for the different flows that enable health surveillance and personnel training to be supervised, so as to guarantee legislative compliance. With this in mind, the close relationship between the "Training" and "Health & Safety" functions continues, enabling the design and development of courses that, in line with the deadlines and content envisaged by current legislation, correspond with the specific characteristics of the company whilst enabling learners to acquire greater awareness of health and safety issues.

As regards external companies operating at Piaggio & C.'s Italian production sites, 7 accidents were recorded for 2018, only regarding the Pontedera site (3 in 2017).
The main priority of the company is compliance with local laws, international health and safety standards and Piaggio Group policies. In this framework, it guarantees the achievement of objectives to improve workers' health and safety through a dedicated H&S facility.
In accordance with Group guidelines, suppliers and external companies that operate at the site are contractually bound to comply with occupational health and safety policies, respect Piaggio Vietnam procedures and programmes, and observe the instructions given to them. Any breach thereof is a breach of the contract and sufficient reason for termination of the same; in the interests of improvement, the company organises specific safety courses for "contractors" in order to raise standards regarding these issues.
For this purpose, a Safety Committee was established involving all members of the various functions and chaired by the production manager. The Committee members are responsible for managing any safety-related issues within their functional area and for taking the required corrective actions. They also conduct periodic audits of the entire site and report to the committee on all relevant aspects regarding safety, so that corrective actions may be promptly taken.
In order to effectively implement general health and safety regulations, a programme of activities is defined each year, based on operating plans, that are updated on an ongoing basis.
In parallel with training and awareness-raising activities, a number of initiatives have been adopted aimed at building a culture of safety and at raising the awareness of employees and their families on this issue; these include: "Safe test in Feb", "National Labor Safety Month in May", "National Traffic Safety Month in Sept", "Signage" and the "Road Safety Campaign".

As regards external companies operating at Piaggio's Vietnamese site, no accidents were reported in 2018.
In order to guarantee the highest occupational health and safety standards, the Indian subsidiary has an organisational structure that operatively involves the "Occupier" (employer), which is a single person for various production sites who has responsibility for the health, safety and well-being of all employees in the work place, Factory Managers and a Safety Committee comprising 20 members that includes executives, managers and white collars. The Safety Committee meets at regular intervals to plan, revise and discuss action plans necessary to establish and disseminate an awareness and safety culture in the work place among employees. The presence of a Health & Safety team guarantees that the entire system may operate effectively.
In line with the Group's approach, a great deal has been invested in training over the last few years as a key driver to increase employee accountability in relation to safety and, consequently, to promote a proactive approach to and engagement with safety issues.

As regards external companies operating at Piaggio's Indian production site, only 1 accident was reported in 2018, and in 2017.
Piaggio Group produces vehicles that are sold under its brand on the various markets around the world. The only exception regards vehicles purchased by the Chinese subsidiary Zongshen Piaggio Foshan (about 17,100 units in 2018, equivalent to 2.8% of vehicles sold).
Piaggio is a leader in engine technology and produces engines at its plans both for internal production and to meet the demand of other manufacturers.
All the other components that constitute a vehicle are purchased externally and assembled in-company.
In 2018, Italian plants purchased merchandise and spare parts for an overall value of ¤389 million (excluding complete vehicles) from around 710 suppliers.

Group relations with suppliers are based on loyalty, impartiality and respect of equal opportunities of all parties concerned.
The Piaggio Group is convinced that responsibility is a commitment which goes beyond the boundaries of the Company and must positively involve everyone in the Company-supplier chain; this is why suppliers worldwide that wish to do business with Piaggio have to sign the general conditions of supply of the Piaggio Group which include the "Code of Ethics and Guidelines for doing business"; audits are regularly conducted on the Group's direct material suppliers to ensure their effective compliance.
In line with the Group's guidelines, every year the Purchasing Unit seeks to improve the procurement process by promoting the technical skills of buyers and focusing on the management of the various goods categories.
Over the last few years, Piaggio Group Management has started a process of common development with its suppliers by setting up a specific department called "Vendor Assessment" as well as assigning the "Finance" Function to define and monitor activities of possible risks areas involving financial and corporate issues, to protect and guarantee the complete independence between corporate areas involved in the procurement processes, as well as to place priority on meeting the needs of all stakeholders.
The purpose of the Vendor Assessment department within the Piaggio Group is to forge a long-lasting, mutually satisfying relationship with a network of highly qualified partners. In addition to managing the Supplier Qualification Process, the function has the task of doing an evaluation of the purchasing performance through Vendor Rating Campaigns.
The Social Dimension
Supplier relations are defined by specific company processes comprising two fundamental stages: new supplier qualification and supplier monitoring.
New supplier qualification is an inter-functional process based on specific standards that lead to a potential supplier being included in the Supplier List, for its chosen goods' category; after an initial documentary prequalification stage, a multidisciplinary, supplier qualification team is involved, with specific positions giving a technical, economic/ financial and corporate rating on goods' categories.
Suppliers are monitored through at least two annual assessment sessions, called "Vendor Rating Campaign", during which supplies for the period in question are reviewed based on the quality of the business relationship, the technicalscientific cooperation, compliance with delivery schedules and the quality of the product supplied. This provides a reference framework for procurement strategies and actions concerning suppliers.
At present, Criticality Ratings have been assigned to most Group suppliers of European production sites only. In terms of "spending", the indicator for 2018 covered 98% of purchases of direct materials and 50% of services and works provided. The evaluation process was also carried out in Vietnam and India.
2018 was a milestone in the history of the Fondazione Piaggio. In fact all sectors where the Foundation is active reported considerable growth, in quantitative and qualitative terms, including increasingly important scientific and cultural events with an international slant, closer ties with institutions and the economic and social fabric of areas where Piaggio operates, more initiatives for young people, stronger relations with the Vespa Clubs and above all considerable additions to the Piaggio Museum.
The Piaggio Museum, with its historic focus on the Vespa, changed considerably during the year, with a new look and additions to its collections. A further two rooms dating from the mid-twentieth century were renovated, and consequently the display area has increased from 3,000 metres of floor space to over 5,000 metres. Two new rooms have been set up to house the collections of the Piaggio Group's Commercial Vehicles, Scooters and Motorcycles, mainly showcasing the Gilera brand, but also Aprilia racing vehicles and vintage Moto Guzzis, while the two existing areas house the Vespa collection.
With over 250 superb vehicles on show, the Museo Piaggio has become the largest and most comprehensive museum in Italy dedicated to two-wheelers, and the only venue that can portray the story of an industry with such an outstanding technological and innovative content, whose evolution has made its mark on the history of Italy and Europe.
In 2018, as has been the case in recent years, the Piaggio Historical Archive contributed significantly to many of the activities of the Piaggio Foundation. It continued its valuable role in supporting research and in managing requests for meetings and consultations from scholars and researchers (with a significant increase in requests for advice
30 Information on the Fondazione Piaggio (Piaggio Foundation), which is not included in the scope of consolidation of the Group, refers to qualitative aspects useful for understanding its focus on the social fabric, even though this information is not included in the scope of consolidation of quantitative information of the NFS.

regarding high-profile scientific research within the academic sector), as well as assisting with the Museum's teaching activities and the iconographic and documentary research for books and publications and for the preparation of exhibitions and internal and external events. Particularly important work was carried out regarding historical aspects and documents during the renovation and extension of the Museum areas, with the opening of the area dedicated to the Group's motorcycle brands (Gilera, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia) and to Piaggio products (Ape, Porter, scooters, etc.). The Historical Archive strengthened its ties partnering Piaggio departments, providing historical advisory services as well as selecting and sending images and documentary material, in particular for some licensing projects. Activities to supervise the collections: "Passione motorini" and "Vespa Collection" (both published by Centauria) were particularly important. Support was also provided for the upcoming publication of the book dedicated to the Vespa by the publishers Whitestar. The Archive also began activities to assist Piaggio's Press Office in sorting and updating historical material available in the Press Area.
The activities and events organised or promoted by the Piaggio Foundation during the year are part of a widerranging cultural project designed to convey the historical and current values of the Piaggio Group to visitors, and to transform the Museum into a scientific, artistic and cultural meeting place which can be visited again and again.
2018 saw the consolidation of the collaboration between the Piaggio Group and (RED) - an association founded in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver - which has contributed US\$360 million to the Global Fund for the fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The aid provided by (RED) to the Global Fund had an impact on more than 70 million people through activities such as prevention, treatment, counselling, HIV testing and support services. As part of the partnership, a Vespa 946 (RED) was built, which is currently being marketed in Europe, Asia, the Pacific Area and the United States. For each Vespa 946 (RED) sold, US\$150 will be donated to the Global Fund and the fight against AIDS. A concrete and valuable contribution, thanks to which (RED) will be able to guarantee more than 500 days of medical care to save lives threatened by HIV and help prevent the transmission of the virus from HIV-infected mothers to their unborn children.
Charity events supporting partnerships were also organised in Europe, Asia and India.
In the US and Canada, Vespa (RED) products were the stars of the Shopathon charity marathon and were put on sale through Amazon.
Piaggio also continued the Vespa for Children project in 2018, a humanitarian charity initiative which, by involving the Group's companies, intends to create charitable projects aimed at promoting social solidarity in the fields of health and social care for children in developing countries.
Piaggio Vietnam in particular has been very active in the support of local associations that deal with families in need and education for children.
The Indian subsidiary has also supported a number of local initiatives for non-profit organisations that work in the fields of health and education.
In Italy, Piaggio took part, also under the aegis of the Vespa for Children project, in various events held in 2018 to help the community, donating vehicles for charity auctions and raising funds for the Italian Association for Cancer Research, AIRC, and the children's charity Fondazione Laureus.
The Group took part in some very important cultural events, like for example the Mantova Literature Festival, not to mention other events organised by the Vespa World Club.
Lastly, for some years now, for the end of the year holidays, together with the entire Immsi Group, Piaggio Group fosters educational and rehabilitative activities for disabled children affected by brain damage by making a donation to the "Casa del Sole Onlus" association, in the name of all the employees of the Immsi and Piaggio groups. In forty years of activities, the non-profit making organisation Casa del Sole Onlus has assisted over five thousand children affected by brain damage and been a valuable source of help for their families.
The partnership between Moto Guzzi and Canottieri Moto Guzzi was renewed in 2018. During Open House at Mandello del Lario, in September, the historic site of this Rowing Club was chosen as the location for an event dedicated to Moto Guzzi fans.

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. Foreign operations are included in the consolidated financial statements according to the standards indicated in the notes below.
As of 31 December 2018, the structure of the Piaggio Group was as indicated in the Report on Operations and is the structure referred to herein.
The scope of consolidation has changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2017 due to the liquidation of Fondo Immobiliare First Atlantic on 14 December 2018.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Piaggio Group as of 31 December 2018 have been drafted in compliance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) in force at that date, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Commission, as well as in compliance with the provisions established in Article 9 of Legislative Decree no. 38/2005 (Consob Resolution no. 15519 dated July 27/7/06 containing the "Provisions for the presentation of financial statements", Consob Resolution no. 15520 dated July 27/7/06 containing the "Changes and additions to the Regulation on Issuers adopted by Resolution no. 11971/99", Consob communication no. 6064293 dated 28/7/06 July containing the "Corporate reporting required in accordance with Article 114, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree no. 58/98"). The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.
Moreover, international accounting standards have been uniformly adopted for all Group companies.
The financial statements of subsidiaries, used for consolidation and for the joint venture consolidated using the equity method, have been appropriately modified and reclassified, where necessary, to bring them in line with the international accounting standards and classification criteria used by the Group on a consistent basis.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, amended as required for the measurement of investment property and some financial instruments, and on a going-concern basis. The Group did not identify any significant uncertainties (as of paragraph 25 of IAS 1) about its operations as a going concern, also in view of actions already established to meet changed levels of demand, and the Group's industrial and financial flexibility. These Consolidated Financial Statements were audited 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
A specific paragraph in this Report provides information on any significant events occurring after the end of the period and on the operating outlook.
The Group has chosen to highlight all changes generated by transactions with non-shareholders within two statements reporting trends of the period, respectively named the "Consolidated Income Statement" and "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income". The Financial Statements are therefore composed of the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity, and these notes.
The Consolidated Income Statement is presented with the items classified by nature. The overall Operating Income is shown, which includes all income and cost items, irrespective of their repetition or fact of falling outside normal operations, except for the items of financial operations included under Operating Income and Profit before tax. In addition, the income and cost items arising from assets that are held for sale or to be discontinued, including any capital gains or losses net of the tax element, are recorded in a specific item preceding profit attributable to the owners of the parent and to non-controlling interests.
The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is presented in accordance with the provisions of IAS 1 amended. Items presented in "Other comprehensive income (expense)" are grouped based on whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is presented in opposite sections with separate indication of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
In turn, assets and liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of their classification as current and non-current.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is divided into cash-flow generating areas. The Statement of Cash Flows model adopted by the Piaggio Group has been prepared using the indirect method. The cash and cash equivalents recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows include the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position balances for this item at the reporting date. Financial flows in foreign currency have been converted at the average exchange rate for the period. Income and costs related to interest, dividends received and income taxes are included in the cash flow generated from operations.
The Statement of Changes in Consolidated Shareholders' Equity is presented as provided for in IAS 1 revised. It includes the total statement of comprehensive income while separately reporting the amounts attributable to owners of the Parent company as well as the quota pertaining to non-controlling interests, the amounts of operations with shareholders acting in this capacity and potential effects of retrospective application or of the retroactive calculation pursuant to IAS 8. Reconciliation between the opening and closing balance of each item for the period is presented.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group Piaggio & C. include the Financial Statements of the Parent Company Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and Italian and foreign companies in which it has direct or indirect control, which are listed in the attachments.

Assets and liabilities, and income and costs, of consolidated companies are recognised on a global integration basis, eliminating the carrying amount of consolidated investments in relation to the relative shareholders' equity at the time of purchase or underwriting. The carrying amount of investments has been eliminated against the shareholders' equity of subsidiaries/associates, assigning to non-controlling interests under specific items the relative portion of shareholders' equity and relative net profit due for the period, in the case of subsidiaries consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
Subsidiaries are companies in which the Group exercises control. This control exists when the Group is exposed, or is entitled to receive variable returns from its involvement in the company and has the capacity to influence such variable returns through its power over the controlled company. The acquisition of subsidiaries is recognised according to the acquisition method. The cost of acquisition is determined by the sum of present values at the date control of the given assets was obtained, liabilities borne or undertaken and financial instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquired company.
In the case of acquisitions of companies, acquired and identifiable assets, liabilities and potential liabilities are recognised at the present value at the date of acquisition. The positive difference between the acquisition cost and the share of the Group at the fair value of said assets and liabilities is classified as goodwill and recognised in the financial statements as an intangible asset. Any negative difference ("negative goodwill") is recognised instead in profit or loss at the date of acquisition.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements starting from the date when control is acquired until control ceases.
The portions of shareholders' equity and income attributable to non-controlling interests are separately indicated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Income Statement respectively.
Associates are companies in which the Group has considerable influence but not control of financial and operational policies.
The Group adopts IFRS 11 for all joint arrangements. According to IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual obligations and rights of each investor. The Group has classified the only joint arrangement agreement in place as being a joint venture.
In adopting the equity method, the investment in an associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the portion attributable to the Group of profit or loss of the investee realised after the date of acquisition. The portion of profit (loss) for the period of the investee attributable to the Group is recognised separately in consolidated profit or loss. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount of the investment are also due to changes in items of other comprehensive income of the investee (e.g. changes arising from translation differences of items in foreign currency). The portion of these changes, attributable to the Group, is recognised under other components of consolidated comprehensive income. If the portion of losses of an entity in a associate or joint venture is equal to or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. After the interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are recognised by a provision (liability) only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate, or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its portion of those profits only after its portion of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. Profit and losses arising from "upwards"
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
or "downwards" transactions between a Group and a associate or joint venture are recognised in the consolidated financial statements only as regards the portion attributable to minority interest in the associate or joint venture. The portion of profit or loss of the associate or joint venture arising from these transactions, attributable to the Group, is eliminated in the consolidated income statement under "earnings from investments", with a counter entry of the asset's value, in "upwards" transactions, and of the value of the investment, in "downwards transactions".
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, all balances and significant transactions between Group companies have been eliminated, as well as unrealised profits and losses arising from intergroup transactions. Unrealised profits and losses generated from transactions with associates or jointly controlled companies are eliminated based on the value of the investment of the Group in the companies.
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 separate financial statements of each company belonging to the Group are prepared in the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the functional currency). For the purposes of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the financial statements of each foreign entity are in euro, which is the functional currency of the Group and the presentation currency of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
All assets and liabilities of foreign companies in a currency other than the euro which come under the scope of consolidation are translated, using exchange rates in effect at the reporting date (currency exchange rates method). Income and costs are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Translation differences arising from the application of this method, as well as translation differences arising from a comparison of initial shareholders' equity translated at current exchange rates and the same equity translated at historical rates, are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and allocated to a specific reserve in shareholders' equity until disposal of the investment. Average exchange rates for translating the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are used in preparing the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The exchange rates used to translate the financial statements of companies included in the scope of consolidation into euros are shown in the table below.

The most significant accounting policies adopted to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018 are outlined below.
As provided for in IAS 38 - Intangible Assets, an intangible asset which is purchased or internally generated, is recognised as an asset only if it is identifiable, controllable and future economic benefits are expected and its cost may be measured reliably.
Intangible assets with a definite useful life are measured at acquisition cost or production cost net of amortisation
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
and accumulated impairment losses. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition, construction or production of certain assets that require a significant period of time before they are ready for use or sale (qualifying assets), are capitalised along with the asset.
Amortisation is referred to the expected useful life and commences when the asset is available for use.
In the case of acquisitions of companies, acquired and identifiable assets, liabilities and potential liabilities are recognised at the present value at the date of acquisition. The positive difference between the acquisition cost and the share of the Group at the fair value of said assets and liabilities is classified as goodwill and recognised in the financial statements as an intangible asset. Any negative difference ("negative goodwill") is recognised instead in profit or loss at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortised but tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, as provided for in IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets.
After initial recognition, goodwill is recognised at cost net of any accumulated impairment losses.
At the disposal of part of or an entire company previously acquired from whose acquisition goodwill arose, the corresponding residual value of goodwill is considered when measuring the capital gain or loss of the disposal.
Development costs of projects for the manufacture of vehicles and engines are recognised as assets only if all of the following conditions are met: the costs can be reliably measured and the technical feasibility of the product, the volumes and expected prices indicate that costs incurred during development will generate future economic benefits. Capitalised development costs include only costs incurred that may be directly attributed to the development process. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a systematic criterion basis, starting from the beginning of production through the estimated life of the product.
All other development costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred.
As provided for in IAS 38 – Intangible Assets, other intangible assets which are purchased or internally generated are recognised as assets if it is probable that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
These assets are recognised at acquisition or production cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life, if they have a definite useful life.
Other intangible assets recognised following the acquisition of a company are accounted for separately from goodwill, if their fair value may be reliably measured.
The amortisation period for an intangible asset with a useful life is revised at least at the end of each reporting period. If the expected useful life of the asset differs from estimates previously made, the amortisation period is changed accordingly.
The amortisation periods of intangible assets are shown below:
| Development costs | 3-5 years |
|---|---|
| Industrial Patent and Intellectual Property Rights | 3-5 years |
| Other | 5 years |
| Trademarks | 15 years |
| Licences | 10 years |
The Piaggio Group has decided to adopt the cost method on first-time application of the IAS/IFRS, as allowed by IFRS 1. For the measurement of property, plant and equipment, therefore, the preference was not to use the fair value method. Property, plant and equipment were booked at the purchase or production cost and were not revalued. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition, construction or production of certain assets that require a significant period of time before they are ready for use or sale (qualifying assets), are capitalised along with the asset.
Costs incurred after acquisition are capitalised only if they increase the future economic benefits of the asset they refer to. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred. Property, plant and equipment under construction are measured at cost and depreciated starting from the period in which they are put into operation.
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
Depreciation is determined, on a straight line basis, on the cost of the assets net of their relative residual values, based on their estimated useful life.
The depreciation periods of Plant, property and equipment are summarised below:
| Land | Land is not depreciated |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 33-60 years |
| Plant and machinery | 5 -15 years |
| Equipment | 4-20 years |
| Other assets | 3-10 years |
Profits and losses arising from the sale or disposal of assets are measured as the difference between the sale revenue and net carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Lease contracts for property, plant and machinery where the Group, as lessee, basically undertakes all risks and benefits of the property, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised when the lease is established, at the fair value of the leased asset or, if less, at the current value of minimum payments due. The corresponding amount due to the lessor, net of borrowing costs, is recognised as a financial payable. The borrowing cost is recognised in profit or loss over the lease period, so as to produce an interest rate that is constant for the remaining amount due for each period. Property, plant and machinery of finance leases are depreciated during the useful life of the asset or the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the duration of the lease agreement, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain the property at the end of the lease period.
Leases in which a significant part of the risks and benefits of ownership are not transferred to the Group as the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Payments made for operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessee), are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis for the duration of the lease agreement.
The Group has its own production plants even in countries where ownership rights are not allowed. In 2007, on the basis of clarification from IFRIC, the Group reclassified as receivables the rentals paid in advance to obtain the availability of land where its production sites are situated.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets may be impaired (impairment test). If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of the write-down. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset's cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell (if available) and its value in use. In measuring the value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted at their fair value, using a rate which reflects current market changes in the fair value of money and specific risks of the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or of a cash generating unit) is estimated to be lower than the relative carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the lower recoverable value. An impairment loss is immediately recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset concerns land or property other than investment property recognised at revalued values. In said case, the loss is recorded in the relative revaluation reserve.
When the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the asset (or of a cash generating unit), except for goodwill, is increased to the new value arising from an estimate of its recoverable amount, up to the net carrying amount applicable to the asset if no impairment loss had been recognised. The reversal of the impairment loss is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
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 permitted by IAS 40, non instrumental property and buildings held for rental and/or asset appreciation purposes are measured at fair value. Investment properties are eliminated from the financial statements when they are disposed of or when they may not be used over time and future economic benefits from their sales are not expected.
Transactions with affiliates and related parties are indicated in specific sections of the Report on Operations and Notes, referred to herein.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale when it is expected that their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale rather than through their use in company operations. This condition is only met when the sale is highly probable, the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale and management is committed to a plan to sell, which should take place within 12 months from the date in which this item was classified as held for sale.
IFRS 9 adopts a single approach to analysing and classifying all financial assets, including those containing embedded derivatives. Classification and relative measurement consider the business model of the financial asset and the contractual characteristics of cash flows that may be obtained from the asset. Depending on the characteristics of the instrument and business model adopted, the following three categories are determined:
(i) financial assets measured at amortised cost; (ii) financial assets measured at fair value, with the effects recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI); (iii) financial assets measured at fair value, with the effects recognised in profit or loss.
The financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
According to the amortised cost method, the value of initial recognition is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of principal, any impairment and amortisation of the difference between the repayment value and value of initial recognition.
Amortisation is based on the internal effective interest rate that represents the rate which, at the time of initial recognition, makes the present value of expected cash flows equal to the value of initial recognition.
Receivables and other financial assets measured at amortised cost are presented in the statement of financial position net of the relative provision for write-downs.
Financial assets representing debt instruments whose business model covers the possibility of collecting contractual cash flows and realising capital gains from sale (the hold to collect and sell business model), are measured at fair value, recognising the effects in OCI.
In this case, changes in fair value of the instrument are recognised as shareholders' equity in OCI. The total of changes in fair value, recognised in a shareholders' equity reserve that includes OCI, is reversed to profit or loss when the instrument is deleted from the accounts. Interest expense is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate, exchange differences and write-downs.
A financial asset representing a debt instrument that has not been measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured at fair value with the effects recognised in profit or loss.
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
Inventories are recognised as the lower of the purchase or production cost, determined by assigning to products the costs directly incurred in addition to the portion of indirect costs reasonably attributable to the performance of production activities in normal production capacity conditions and the market value at the end of the reporting period. The purchase or production cost is determined based on the weighted average cost method.
As regards raw materials and work in progress, the market value is represented by the estimated net realisable value of corresponding finished products minus completion costs. As regards finished products, the market value is represented by the estimated net realisable value (price lists minus the costs to sell and distribution costs).
The lower measurement based on market trends is eliminated in subsequent years, if the trends no longer exist. Obsolete, slow moving and/or excess inventories are impaired in relation to their possible use or future realisation, in a provision for the write-down of inventories.
Trade receivables and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently recognised based on the amortised cost method, net of the provisions for write-downs.
IFRS 9 establishes a new model for the impairment/write-down of these assets, with the aim of providing useful information for financial statement users on relative expected losses. According to this model, the Group measures receivables on an expected loss basis, replacing the provisions in IAS 39 which typically measure receivables on an incurred loss basis. For trade receivables, the Group adopts a simplified approach which does not require the recognition of periodic changes in credit risk, but instead the recognition of an expected credit loss (ECL) calculated over the ECL lifetime. In particular, the policy adopted by the Group involves the stratification of trade receivables in categories based on past due days, defining the allocation based on the historical experience of credit losses, adjusted to take into account specific forecasts referred to creditors and the economic environment.
Trade receivables are wholly written down in the absence of a reasonable expectation of their recovery, or in the case of inactive counterparties.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision for write-downs and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement.
When payment of amounts due exceeds standard terms of payment granted to clients, the receivable is discounted.
The Group sells a significant part of its trade receivables through factoring and in particular, sells trade receivables without recourse. Following these sales with the total and unconditional transfer to the transferee of the risks and benefits transferred, the receivables are eliminated from the financial statements.
In the case of transfers in which the risks and benefits are not transferred, the relative receivables remain in the statement of financial position until the transferred sum has been paid. In this case any advance payments collected by the factor are recognised under payables as amounts due to other lenders.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, current bank accounts, deposits payable on demand and other high liquidity short term financial investments, which are readily convertible into cash and not affected by any major risk of a change in value. This item does not include bank overdrafts payable on demand.
Treasury shares are recognised as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The original cost of treasury shares and revenues arising from subsequent sales are recognised as movements of shareholders' equity.
Financial liabilities include financial payables, including amounts payable for advances on the sale of receivables, as well as other financial liabilities, including financial derivatives and liabilities for assets recognised regarding finance lease agreements.
Pursuant to IFRS 9, they include trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are recognised at fair value net of additional transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans are measured at amortised cost, calculated using the effective interest rate. With the introduction of IFRS 9, in the event of the renegotiation of a financial liability that does not qualify as "extinction of the original debt", the difference between
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
i) the book value of the pre-change liability and ii) the present value of the cash flows of the revised debt, discounted at the original rate (IRR), is accounted for in the income statement.
Financial liabilities hedged by derivatives are recognised at present value, according to procedures established for hedge accounting: gains and losses arising from subsequent measurements at present value are recognised in profit or loss and are offset by the effective portion of the loss and again arising from subsequent measurements at present value of the hedging instrument. On initial recognition, a liability may be designated at fair value recognised in profit or loss when this eliminates or considerably reduces a lack of uniformity in the measurement or recognition (sometimes defined as "asymmetric accounting") that would otherwise arise from the measurement of an asset or liability or recognition of relative profit and loss on different bases. This fair value designation is exclusively applied to some financial liabilities in currency subject to exchange risk hedging.
Group assets are primarily exposed to financial risks from changes in exchange and interest rates. The Group uses derivatives to hedge risks arising from changes in foreign currency and interest rates in particular irrevocable commitments and planned future transactions. The use of these instruments is regulated by written procedures on the use of derivatives, in line with risk management policies of the Group. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Group has opted to continue to adopt the provisions on hedge accounting in IAS 39, rather than in IFRS 9.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value, represented by the initial amount and aligned with the fair value at subsequent ends of reporting periods. Financial derivatives are used solely for hedging purposes, in order to reduce exchange risk, interest rate risk and the risk of changes in the market price. In line with IAS 39, financial derivatives may qualify for hedge accounting, only when the hedging instrument is formally designated and documented, is expected to be highly effective and this effectiveness can be reliably measured and is highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which it is designated. When financial instruments may be measured by hedge accounting, the following accounting treatment is adopted:
If hedge accounting cannot be applied, gains or losses from measurement at present value of the financial derivative are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
The Group recognises provisions for risks and charges when it has a legal or implicit obligation to third parties and it is likely that Group resources will have to be used to meet the obligation and when the amount of the obligation itself can be reliably estimated.
Changes in estimates are recognised in profit or loss when the change takes place.
If the effect is considerable, provisions are calculated discounting future cash flows estimated at a discount rate gross of taxes, to reflect current market changes in the fair value of money and specifics risks of the liability.
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
Liabilities relative to employee benefits paid on or after termination of employment for defined benefit plans are determined separately for each plan, based on actuarial hypotheses estimating the amount of future benefits that employees will accrue at the reporting date (the "projected unit credit method"). Liabilities, recognised in the financial statements net of any assets serving the plan, are entered for the period when the right accrues. Liabilities are measured by independent actuaries.
The cost components of defined benefits are recognised as follows:
Termination benefits are recognised at the closest of the following dates: i) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and ii) when the Group recognises the costs of restructuring.
Deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the value of the asset and liability and their tax value. Deferred tax assets are measured only to the extent to which it is likely that adequate future taxable sums exist against which the deferred taxes can be used. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent to which it is no longer likely that sufficient taxable income exists allowing for all or a portion of said assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, considering the rates in effect or which are known to come into effect. Deferred taxes are directly recognised in profit or loss, except for items directly recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, in which case relative deferred taxes are also recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
In the case of reserves of undistributed profits of subsidiaries and since the Group is able to control distribution times, deferred taxes are allocated for the reserves when distribution is expected in the future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their net value when applied by the tax authorities and when they may be lawfully offset in the same tax jurisdiction.
Payables are recognised at fair value and then measured based on the amortised cost method.
To guarantee suppliers easier credit conditions, the Group has established factoring agreements, and typically supply chain financing or reverse factoring agreements. Based on the agreements, suppliers may, at their discretion, transfer receivables due from the Group to a lender and collect amounts before maturity.
In some cases, payment terms are extended further in agreements between the supplier and the Group; these extensions may be interest or non-interest bearing.
The Group has established a specific policy to assess the nature of reverse factoring operations. Based on the content of agreements, which differs by area of origin, the Finance function, at a central level, analyses the clauses of agreements in qualitative terms, as well as legal aspects in order to assess regulatory references and the type of transaction assignment (as provided for by IFRS 9 B3 3.1). In some cases, as payment terms have been extended, quantitative analysis is carried out to verify the materiality of changes in contract terms, based on quantitative tests as required by IFRS 9 B3.3.6.
In this context, relations, for which a primary obligation with the supplier is maintained and any deferment, if granted, does not significantly change payment terms, are still classified as trade liabilities.
Based on the five-step model introduced by IFRS 15, the Group measures revenues after identifying the contracts with its customers and relative performance to provide (transfer of goods and/or services), after determining the transaction price it considers due in exchange for performance, and evaluating the procedure for satisfying the performance (performance at a given time versus performance over time).
In particular, the Group measures revenues only if the following requirements have been met (requirements to identify the "contract" with the customer):
If the above requirements are not met, the relative revenues are recognised when: (i) the Group has already transferred control of the goods and/or provided the services to the customer and all or nearly all of the consideration from the customer has been received and cannot be reimbursed; or (ii) the contract has ended and the consideration received by the Group from the customer cannot be reimbursed.
If the above requirements are instead met, the Group adopts the following rules for recognition. Revenues for the sale of vehicles and spare parts are recognised when control of the good is transferred to the purchaser, or when the customer can use in full the good or substantially benefit from it.
Revenues are represented net of discounts, including, among others, sales incentive programmes and bonuses to customers, as well as taxes directly connected with the sale of the goods.
Revenues from the provision of services are recognised when the services are provided based on their progress. Revenues also include lease payments recognised on a straight line basis for the duration of the contract.
Set-up grants are recognised in the financial statements when their payment is certain and are recognised in profit or loss based on the useful life of the asset for which the grants have been provided.
Operating grants are recognised in the financial statements, when their payment is certain and are recognised in profit or loss in relation to costs for which the grants have been provided.
Financial income is recognised on an accrual basis and includes interest payable on invested funds, exchange differences receivable and income from financial instruments, when not offset in hedging transactions. Interest receivable is recognised in profit or loss when it matures, considering the actual return.
Borrowing costs are recognised on an accrual basis and and include interest payable on financial payables calculated using the effective interest rate method, exchange differences payable and losses on derivative financial instruments. The rate of interest payable of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends recognised in profit or loss, from non-controlling interests, are recognised on an accrual basis, and therefore at the time when, following the resolution to distribute dividends by the subsidiary, the relative right to payment arises.
Taxes represent the sum of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Taxes allocated under accounting circumstances of individual companies included in the scope of consolidation are recognised in the consolidated financial statements, based on taxable income estimated in compliance with national laws in force at the end of the reporting period, considering applicable exemptions and tax receivables owing. Income taxes are recognised in the income statement, with the exception of those taxes relative to items directly deducted from or charged to the statement of comprehensive income.
Taxes are recorded under "Tax payables" net of advances and withheld taxes. Taxes due in the event of the distribution of reserves as withheld taxes recognised in the financial statements of individual Group companies are not allocated, as their distribution is not planned.
In 2016, for a further three years, the Parent Company signed up to the National Consolidated Tax Convention 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. 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.
Basic earnings per share are calculated dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company by the weighted average of ordinary shares in circulation adjusted to take account of the effects of all potential ordinary shares with a dilutive effect. Any shares related to the stock option plan are considered as shares that may be potentially issued. The adjustment to make to the number of stock options to calculate the number of adjusted shares is determined by multiplying the number of stock options by the subscription cost and dividing it by the share market price.
The preparation of the financial statements and notes in compliance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the values of assets and liabilities and on disclosure regarding contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Estimates are used to measure intangible assets tested for impairment (see § Impairment losses) and to identify provisions for bad debts, for obsolete inventories, amortisation and depreciation, impairment of assets, employee benefits, taxes, restructuring provisions and other allocations and funds. Estimates and assumptions are periodically revised and the effects of any change are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
In the current world economic and financial crisis, assumptions made as to future trends are marked by a considerable degree of uncertainty. Therefore the possibility in the next reporting period of results that differ from estimates cannot be ruled out, and these could require even significant adjustments which at present cannot be predicted or estimated.
The critical measurement processes and key assumptions used by the Group in adopting IFRS and that may have a significant impact on figures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or for which a risk exists that significant differences in value may arise in relation to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the future are summarised below.
Non-current assets include Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, Investment Property, Investments and Other Financial Assets. The Group periodically revises the carrying amount of non-current assets held and used and of assets held for sale, when facts and circumstances make this necessary. This analysis is carried out at least annually for Goodwill, and whenever facts and circumstances make it necessary. Analysis of the recoverability of the carrying amount of Goodwill is generally based on estimates of expected cash flows from the use or sale of the asset and adequate discount rates to calculate the fair value. For investment property, the Group appoints an independent expert at the end of each reporting period (six-monthly or annually) to measure the "Fair value less cost of disposal" based on a market approach. When the carrying amount of a non-current asset is impaired, the Group recognises a write-down equal to the excess between the carrying amount of the asset and its recoverable value through use or sale, determined with reference to cash flows of the most recent company plans.
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
The Group has deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences and theoretical tax benefits from losses to be carried forward. In estimating recoverable value, the Group considered the results of the company plan in line with the results used for impairment testing. Net deferred tax assets allocated on this basis refer to temporary differences and tax losses which, to a significant extent, may be recovered over an indefinite period, and are therefore compatible with a context in which an end to current difficulties and uncertainties and an upswing in the economy could take longer than the time frame of the above-mentioned estimates. As regards Piaggio & C. SpA, which is party to the IMMSI Group National Consolidated Tax Convention, the recovery of deferred tax assets is related to results forecast for the company, and also to the taxable amounts of companies which are part of the IMMSI Group National Consolidated Tax Convention.
Provisions for employee benefits and net borrowing costs are measured using an actuarial method that requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the net value of the obligation. The actuarial method considers financial parameters such as the discount rate and growth rates of salaries and considers the likelihood of potential future events occurring on the basis of demographic parameters such as relative mortality rates and employee resignations or retirements. The assumptions used for the measurement are explained in section 32 "Retirement funds and employee benefits".
The provision for bad debts reflects management's estimate of expected losses related to receivables. The Group adopts the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and recognises expected losses for all trade receivables based on the residual duration, defining the allocation based on the historical experience of credit losses, adjusted to take into account specific forecasts referred to creditors and the economic environment (Expected Credit Loss – ECL concept).
The provision for obsolete inventories reflects management's estimate of impairment losses expected by the Group, determined based on past experience. Anomalous market price trends could have an effect on future inventory writedowns.
At the time of a product's sale, the Group makes provisions relative to estimated costs for the product warranty. This provision is estimated based on historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty jobs.
The Group recognises a liability for ongoing legal disputes when it considers a financial outflow likely and when the amount of the losses arising therefrom may be reasonably estimated. If a financial outflow is possible, but the amount cannot be determined, it is recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements. The Group is subject to legal and tax proceedings concerning complex and difficult legal issues, of varying degrees of uncertainty, including facts and circumstances relative to each case, jurisdiction and different applicable laws. Given the uncertainties concerning these issues, it is hard to predict with certainty the outflow arising from these disputes and it is therefore possible that the value of provisions for legal proceedings and disputes of the Group may vary as a result of future developments in proceedings underway.
The Group monitors the status of ongoing proceedings and consults its legal and tax advisers.
The cost of assets is amortised/depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. The economic useful life of Group assets is determined by Directors at the time of purchase; the calculation is based on historical experience gained in years of operations and on knowledge of technological innovations that may make the asset obsolete and no longer economical.
The Group periodically evaluates technological and segment changes, in order to update the remaining useful life. This periodic updating could change the amortisation/depreciation period and therefore amortisation/depreciation charges of future years.

The Group is subject to different income tax laws in various jurisdictions. Group tax liabilities are determined based on management valuations referred to transactions of which the tax effect is not certain at the end of the reporting period. The Group recognises the liabilities that could arise from future inspections of tax authorities based on an estimate of taxes that will be due. If the outcome of inspections differs from management's estimates, significant effects on current and deferred taxes could arise.
All amounts in the tables and in these notes have been rounded off to thousands of euros.
As from 1 January 2018, some changes have been made to national and international accounting standards and interpretations, without any significant effect on the Group's Financial Statements. The main changes are outlined below:
The new standard is applicable retrospectively for years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 sets out the requirements for recognising revenues, introducing an approach whereby revenue is only recognised if contractual obligations have been met in full. According to the standard, revenue is recognised based on the following five steps: – identify the contract;
The Group has carried out in-depth analysis of the different types of contracts relative to the sale of two-/three- and fourwheeler vehicles, spare parts, accessories and components to dealers, importers or direct customers that represent the most significant component, as well as types of contract with less economic impact (for example royalties). Following this analysis, the Group concluded that there is no significant impact arising from the adoption of the new standard, as the most significant component of revenue will continue to be recognised in line with previous accounting guidelines. Revenues from the sale of two-/three- and four-wheeler vehicles, spare parts, accessories and components are recognised when control is transferred and when the Group meets its obligation transferring the promised asset to the customer.
One exception is a number of scheduled maintenance schemes and extended warranties that go beyond the statutory period (sold together with the vehicle) which, according to the new standard, constitute separate performance bonds and, as such, must now be identified and accounted for separately from the vehicle revenue. To date, these scheduled maintenance plans / extended warranties have, however, been limited in number and mainly provided in the Vietnamese market.
Other differences in approach refer to different ways of representing revenues, without however impacting results, and refer to a different approach to classifying some types of bonuses paid to dealers, consumer financing plans, procedures for representing funds returned by customers (only applicable for the US market in which there is a legal obligation to buy back the vehicle from dealers on the occurrence of certain conditions).
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 and all related amendments retrospectively, without amending 2017 financial statement data which are presented for comparison, but instead indicating the effects on various items of the 2018 financial statement items if the standard had not been adopted.

The new provisions of IFRS 9: (i) amend the model that classifies and measures financial assets; (ii) introduce a new method for writing down financial assets, that takes account of expected credit losses; (iii) amend hedge accounting provisions and (iv) establish new criteria for the recognition of transactions amending financial liabilities. The provisions of IFRS 9 will be applicable for years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Early application was allowed.
The Group has adopted IFRS 9 and all related amendments, applying the modified retrospective method, without changing 2017 financial statement data, which are presented for comparative purposes; instead it provides evidence of the impact on the financial statements of the previous year, if the above standard had already been adopted and with effects recognised in shareholders' equity as of 1 January 2018.
With reference to the classification and measurement of financial assets, the Group adopts the following business models:
For both types, the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets held by the group are recognised:
As regards the introduction of the new procedure for the impairment of financial assets, the Group revised its method used as from 1 January 2018 to determine the provision to recognise to hedge losses on receivables, taking into account expected losses, as provided for by the new standard, without identifying any significant impact on net income (loss) for the year or on shareholders' equity arising from the adoption of IFRS 9.
The Group measures the provision to hedge losses for an amount equal to full lifetime expected credit losses, using a method that considers whether, at the end of the reporting period, the credit risk relative to a financial instrument has increased considerably after initial recognition or otherwise.
For trade receivables, the Group adopts the simplified approach permitted by the new standard, measuring the provision to hedge losses for an amount equal to full lifetime expected credit losses.
Lastly, IFRS 9 has amended IAS 1 (82 ba) requiring the separate recognition of impairment losses (including reversals of impairment losses and impairment gains) in profit or loss.
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
The Group has opted for a policy choice which allows it to adopt the provisions in IAS 39 for hedge accounting. The new requirements of IFRS 9 have therefore been deferred to a time when the macro-hedging project will be complete.
With the introduction of IFRS 9, in the event of the renegotiation of a financial liability that does not qualify as "extinction of the original debt", the difference between i) the book value of the pre-change liability and ii) the present value of the cash flows of the revised debt, discounted at the original rate (IRR), is accounted for in the income statement. The Group has examined the liability management operations conducted in previous years. The effects deriving from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summarised in the following table:

The amendments clarify how some share-based payments are recognised.
These amendments clarify change in use, which is a necessary condition for transfer from/to Investment Property.
on the Financial Statements or on disclosure.
The main amendment concerns IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures". The amendments clarify, correct or remove redundant wording in the related IFRS and did not have a material impact
The amendment addresses the exchange rate to use in transactions that involve also advance consideration paid or received in a foreign currency.
In the month of January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 "Leases". This new standard will replace the current 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 will be 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 to pay for rent are recognised. The IASB has provided for the optional exemption for certain leasing contracts and low value and short-term leases.
This standard will apply from 1 January 2019. Early application was possible if IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" was jointly adopted.
The Group has carried out in-depth analysis on all lease agreements in effect as of 31 December 2018, in view of new accounting arrangements for leases established in IFRS 16. The standard will mainly have an effect on the recognition of the Group's operating leases.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group had operating lease commitments which could not be cancelled for ¤ 29 million, as indicated in section 50 Contract commitments and guarantees. Of these commitments, approximately ¤ 1 million refers to short-term lease agreements, ¤ 1 million to lease agreements of modest value that will be recognised on a straight-line basis as lease and rental costs and ¤ 5 million refer to services agreements for which IFRS 16 is not applicable. For remaining lease commitments, the Group recognised assets for lease and rental costs amounting to approximately ¤21 million at 1 January 2019, and lease liabilities for ¤21 million.
Based on ongoing agreements, the Group expects profit before tax to decrease by approximately ¤0.3 million for 2019, following the adoption of the new versions of the standards, which require costs to be recognised no longer on a straight line basis as lease and rental costs, but instead as (constant) amortisation and as borrowing costs (which are variable depending on the debt). EBITDA is expected to increase by approximately ¤6 million, as the amortisation of assets and interest in lease rights are excluded.
Operating cash flows will go up by approximately ¤6 million, while cash flows from financing activities will go down by approximately ¤6 million, as the reimbursement of the capital portion of lease liabilities will be classified as cash flow from financing activities.
Assets of the Group in a capacity as lessor are not significant and therefore the Group does not expect considerable effects on the financial statements.
The Group will adopt the standard from the mandatory date of 1 January 2019, using the simplified transition approach and will not amend comparative figures of the year prior to first-time adoption. Assets recognised for lease and rental costs will be measured for the amount of the lease debt at the time of adoption.
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.

The balance of financial income (charges) in 2018 was negative (- ¤/000 25,410), down on the previous year (- ¤/000 33,099), due to the reduction in the average cost of debt due to refinancing operations completed in 2018, and the reduction in average stock. This performance was further improved by non-recurring net income of ¤/000 901 from the liability management operation on the "Eur 250 million Piaggio 4.625% due 2021" debenture loan, and recognised in profit or loss as required by IFRS 9, of which ¤/000 4,431 under "Other financial income" and ¤/000 3,530 under "Interest on debenture loans. In addition, the fair value measurement of financial debt in foreign currency and relative hedging improved the result by ¤/000 889.
During 2018, borrowing costs for ¤/000 317 were capitalised (in the previous year, borrowing costs for ¤/000 368 had been capitalised).
The average rate used during 2018 for the capitalisation of borrowing costs (because of general loans), was equal to 5.6% and also refers to loans of the Vietnamese company in local currency (11.36% in 2017, when this item mainly referred to loans in Vietnamese currency.
Interest on the debenture loan refers to ¤/000 82 (¤/000 134 in 2017) to the parent company Omniaholding. Interest payable to other lenders mainly refers to interest payable to factoring companies and banks for the sale of trade receivables.

Nel 2018 l'incidenza delle imposte sul risultato ante imposte è stata pari al 46,8% (50,1% nel 2017). Il decremento dell'incidenza percentuale del tax rate è collegato principalmente al decremento delle imposte correnti dell'esercizio, ridottesi in misura maggiore rispetto all'aumento del risultato ante imposte dell'esercizio, e dal minore effetto negativo

The item "Income taxes" is detailed below:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | 2018 | 2017 | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current taxes | (31,044) | (20,398) | (10,646) |
| Deferred tax assets/liabilities | (731) | 327 | (1,058) |
| Total | (31,775) | (20,071) | (11,704) |
In 2018 the impact of taxes on profit before tax was estimated as equal to 46.8% (50.1% in 2017). The decrease in the percentage of the tax rate is mainly related to the decrease in taxes for the year, which were considerably lower than the increase in profit before tax for the year, and to the lower negative effect due to no intergroup offsetting of tax losses.
The item current taxes includes net income from the Consolidated Tax Convention of ¤/000 3,808.
Reconciliation in relation to the theoretical rate is shown below:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit before tax | 67,850 | 40,055 |
| Theoretical rate | 24.00% | 24.00% |
| Theoretical income taxes | (16,284) | (9,613) |
| Effect arising from tax differences and the difference between foreign tax rates and the theoretical rate | (4,740) | (2,258) |
| Tax effect arising from losses for the year not offset | (7,556) | (8,083) |
| Tax effect arising from deferred taxes | (731) | 327 |

| Other differences | (1,149) | 1,031 |
| Income taxes recognised in the financial statements | (31,775) | (20,071) |
Theoretical income taxes were determined applying the corporate tax rate in effect in Italy (24.0%) to profit before tax. The effect arising from the rate of regional production tax and other taxes paid abroad was determined separately, as these taxes are not calculated on the basis of profit before tax.
At the end of the reporting period, there were no gains or losses from assets held for disposal or sale.
Earnings per share are calculated as follows:
| 2018 | 2017 | ||
|---|---|---|---|

| Earnings attributable to ordinary shares | ¤/000 | 36,075 | 19,984 |

Intangible assets increased overall by ¤/000 9,911 mainly due to investments for the year which were only partially balanced by amortisation for the period.
Increases mainly refer to the capitalisation of development costs for new products and new engines, as well as the purchase of software.
During 2018, borrowing costs for ¤/000 202 were capitalised.
The table below shows the breakdown of intangible assets as of 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, as well as movements during the two financial years.

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. This item also includes assets under development for ¤/000 25,451 that represent costs for which the conditions for capitalisation exist, but in relation to products that will go into production in future years.
Development expenditure for new projects capitalised in 2018 refers to the study of new vehicles and new engines (two-/three-/four-wheelers) which will feature as the top products in the 2018-2020 range.
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.
During 2018, development expenditure amounting to ¤/000 17,500 was directly recognised in profit or loss.
This item includes assets under development for ¤/000 27,034.
Patents and know-how mainly refer to Vespa, MP3, RSV4 and Aprilia SR 150 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 2018-2020 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 Aprilia and Guzzi trademarks are amortised over a period of 15 years, expiring in 2026.
The Foton licence was acquired following agreements signed in 2018 between Piaggio and the Foton Motor Group for the development and manufacture of a new range of light commercial four-wheelers that will be launched on the market starting from 2020.
The licence will be amortised over 10 years, from production start-up.
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.

Inoltre, anche sulla base delle indicazioni contenute nel documento congiunto di Banca d'Italia, Consob e Isvap n. 2 del 6 febbraio 2009, il Gruppo ha provveduto ad elaborare l'analisi di sensitività sui risultati del test rispetto alla variazione degli assunti di base (utilizzo del tasso di crescita nell'elaborazione del valore terminale e il tasso di sconto) che condizionano il valore d'uso delle cash generating unit. Anche nel caso di una variazione positiva o negativa dello

having been impaired, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (impairment test).
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.
The main assumptions used by the Group to determine future financial flows, relative to a four-year period, and the consequent recoverable value (value in use) refer to:
In particular, for discounting cash flows, the Group has adopted a discount rate (WACC) which differs based on different cash generating units. This reflects market valuations of the fair value of money and takes account of specific risks of activities and the geographic segment in which the cash generating unit operates.
In the future cash flows discounting model, a terminal value is entered at the end of the cash flow projection period, to reflect the residual value each cash-generating unit should produce. The terminal value represents the current value, at the last year of the projection, of all subsequent cash flows calculated as perpetual income, and was determined using a growth rate (g rate) which differed by CGU, to reflect the different growth potentials of each CGU.

The terminal value growth rate (g rate) is specific for CGUs, considering the area's growth potential.
The medium-/long-term growth rate (g-rate) for determining the Terminal Value of each CGU was considered as reasonable and prudent, in the light of:
– analysts' expectations for the Piaggio Group (source: Analyst Reports 2018-2019);
– the long-term real GDP growth trend expected for main countries where the Group operates (source: Economist Intelligence Unit – EIU);
– forecasts for the reference sector (source: Freedonia, «Global Motorcycle», May 2018).
The WACC was determined based on the previous year.
The growth rate during the period of the Plan was determined using the trend expected for the reference sector as the benchmark (source: Freedonia, «Global Motorcycle», May 2018).
Analyses did not identify any impairment losses. Therefore no write-down was recognised in consolidated data as of 31 December 2018.
In addition, and on the basis of information in the document produced jointly by the Bank of Italy, Consob and Isvap no. 2 of 6 February 2009, the Group conducted sensitivity analysis of test results in relation to changes in basic assumptions (use of the growth rate in producing the terminal value and discount rate) which affect the value in use of cash generating units. In the case of a positive or negative change of 0.5% of the WACC and G used, analyses would not identify impairment losses.
In all cases, the value in use of the Group was higher than the net carrying amount tested.

Given that the recoverable value was determined based on estimates, the Group cannot ensure that there will be no impairment losses of goodwill in future financial periods.
Given the current market weakness, the various factors used in processing estimates could require revision; the Piaggio Group will constantly monitor these factors as well as the existence of impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment mainly refer to Group production facilities in Pontedera (Pisa), Noale and Scorzè (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 2018, borrowing costs for ¤/000 115 were capitalised.
The table below shows the breakdown of property, plant and equipment as of 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, as well as movements during the period.

Il valore contabile al 31 dicembre 2018 è stato determinato con il supporto di una specifica perizia richiesta ad un esperto indipendente, il quale ha effettuato una valutazione "Fair value less cost of disposal" ricorrendo ad un market approach (come peraltro previsto dall'IFRS 13). Tale analisi ha evidenziato un valore complessivo dell'investimento pari a ¤/000 10.269. A tal proposito si segnala che la valutazione ha tenuto conto, oltre che dello stato attuale dell'immobile, del progetto di riconversione dell'area predisposto dal Gruppo, finalizzato alla realizzazione di un complesso commerciale, unitamente alle transazioni comparabili. A seguito del progetto di trasformazione edilizia dello stabilimento è stato conferito un incarico di agency management ad una società immobiliare spagnola per la ricerca di mercato di investitori
Si ricorda che il Gruppo ricorre all'applicazione del "fair value model" previsto dallo IAS 40, pertanto la valutazione aggiornata nel corso del 2018 ha comportato la contabilizzazione a conto economico di periodo di un onere da

The net carrying amount as of 31 December 2018 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 10,269. 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 2018 resulted in profit adjusted to fair value, equal to ¤/000 1,254 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 6,123.
During 2018, costs incurred for management of the site amounted to ¤/000 437.

I principali effetti rilevati nel corso dell'esercizio sono riconducibili alla movimentazione delle differenze temporanee e
Nell'ambito delle valutazioni effettuate ai fini della definizione delle attività fiscali differite il Gruppo ha tenuto conto
– delle normative fiscali dei diversi paesi nei quali è presente, del loro impatto in termini di emersione di differenze
– dei redditi imponibili previsti in un'ottica di medio lungo periodo per ogni singola società e degli impatti economici e fiscali. In tale scenario sono stati assunti quale riferimento i piani derivanti dalla rielaborazione del piano del Gruppo Piaggio approvato dal CdA della società in data 26 febbraio 2018. In relazione a Piaggio & C. SpA si segnala che, facendo parte del Consolidato Fiscale Nazionale Gruppo IMMSI la recuperabilità delle attività fiscali differite è legata e confermata, oltre che dai risultati previsionali della società, anche dagli imponibili fiscali delle società facenti parte del Consolidato Fiscale Nazionale Gruppo IMMSI, come riportato nei piani pluriennali approvati dai

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 31 December 2018 trade receivables that have not come due, sold without recourse totalled ¤/000 87,314. Of these amounts, Piaggio received payment prior to natural expiry of ¤/000 86,987.
As of 31 December 2018, advance payments received from factoring companies and banks for trade receivables sold with recourse totalled ¤/000 9,291 with a counter entry recorded in current liabilities.

Medium and long-term bank debt amounts to ¤/000 249,947 (of which ¤/000 207,239 non-current and ¤/000 42,708 current) and consists of the following loans:
– a ¤/000 10,909 medium-term loan from the European Investment Bank to finance Research & Development investments planned for the 2013-2015 period. The loan will mature in December 2019 and has a repayment schedule of 11 six-monthly instalments at a fixed rate of 2.723%. Contract terms require covenants (described below);
All the above financial liabilities are unsecured.
The item Bonds for ¤/000 302,019 (nominal value of ¤/000 312,461) refers to:
In particular, the liability management operation concerned the following stages:

Financial advances received from factoring companies and banks, on the sale of trade receivables with recourse, totalled ¤/000 9,291.
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.
The high yield debenture loan issued by the company in April 2018 provide for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practice on the high yield market. In particular, the company must observe the EBITDA/Net borrowing costs index, based on the threshold established in the Prospectus, to increase financial debt defined during issue. In addition, the Prospectus includes some obligations for the issuer, which limit, inter alia, the capacity to:

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). 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 principal 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.
The table below shows the fair value of payables measured using the amortised cost method as of 31 December 2018:

Investment property relative 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. As a consequence, a concurrent increase or decrease of 10% in all variables used in the investment valuation would have generated a greater value of approximately ¤/000 4,050 or a lower value of approximately ¤/000 3,000 respectively, with an equivalent greater or lower impact on profit or loss 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 31 DECEMBER 2018 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid assets | 131,282 | 88,697 |
| Securities | 57,396 | 39,324 |
| Financial receivables | 8,834 | 9,685 |
| Other receivables | 50,132 | 39,073 |
| Tax receivables | 24,767 | 31,019 |
| Trade receivables | 86,557 | 83,995 |
| Total | 358,968 | 291,793 |
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 31 December 2018 the most important sources of financing irrevocable until maturity granted to the Parent Company were as follows:
Other Group companies also have irrevocable loans totalling ¤/000 9,752, with final settlement in June 2021.
As of 31 December 2018, the Group had a liquidity of ¤/000 188,740, ¤/000 165,000 of undrawn credit lines irrevocable to maturity and ¤/000 126,225 of revocable credit lines, as detailed below:

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 31 December 2018 the total fair value of hedging instruments for the economic exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was negative by ¤/000 12. During 2018, losses under other components of the Statement of Comprehensive Income were recognised amounting to ¤/000 12 and losses from other components of the Statement of Comprehensive Income were reclassified under profit/loss for the year amounting to ¤/000 96.

The net balance of cash flows during 2018 is shown below, divided by main currency:
| IN MILLIONS OF EUROS | CASH FLOW 2018 |
|---|---|
| Canadian Dollar | 4.7 |
| Pound Sterling | 21.1 |
| Japanese Yen | 3.1 |
| US Dollar | 74.4 |
| Indian Rupee | 25 |
| Croatian Kuna | 0.0 |
| Chinese Yuan35 | (40.7) |
| Vietnamese Dong | (41.6) |
| Indonesian Rupiah | 19.7 |
| Total cash flow in foreign currency | 65.7 |
In view of the above, an assumed appreciation/deprecation of 3% of the euro would have generated potential profits for ¤/000 2,200 and potential losses for ¤/000 2,072 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 31 December 2018, the following hedging derivatives were in use:
Fair value hedging derivatives (fair value hedging and fair value options)
– a Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by the Parent Company for a nominal amount of \$/000 47,000. 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 31 December 2018, the fair value of the instrument was equal to ¤/000 8,797. The net economic effect arising from the measurement of the instrument and underlying private debenture loan was equal to ¤/000 - 488; 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 ¤/000 27 and ¤/000 -5 respectively, assuming constant exchange rates; whereas assuming a 1% reversal and write-down of exchange rates, sensitivity analysis identified a potential impact on the income statement, net of the relative tax effect, of ¤/000 13 and ¤/000 -13 respectively.

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.

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 pleadings and answer briefs. 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 on initiative of the Court 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.
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 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 in October 2018. The parties exchanged their closing arguments and respective answer briefs. The case is pending a decision.
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. The hearing for closing arguments, set for 14 January 2019, after which statements the terms for rejoinders and replications have been arranged. The case is pending a decision.
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 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
Judge, considering the preliminary investigation as completed, set the hearing for closing arguments for 26 October 2016. In a ruling of 6 April 2017, the Court of Turin upheld in full the validity of the 3D Vespa mark of Piaggio, and the counterfeiting of said by the "VES" scooter by Znen.
The Court of Turin also recognised the protection of Vespa in accordance with copyright, confirming the creative nature and artistic value of its form, declaring that the scooter "VES" by Znen infringes Piaggio copyright. The other party appealed against the sentence at the Appeal Court of Turin, where the first hearing took place on 24 January 2018. The case was adjourned to the hearing of 13 June 2018 for the closing arguments, after which statements of defence and answer briefs were exchanged. The case is pending a decision.
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 and counterfeiting 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 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. Documents are being gathered and the appraisal is underway.
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.
In November 2017, the Company filed two petitions with the Court of Beijing (People's Republic of China) on the infringement and counterfeiting of some marks ("Case 1") and designs ("Case 2") relative to the "Scarabeo" vehicle by Chinese companies which are part of Jincheng Group Co., Ltd. Following the above actions, the counterparty submitted a petition for invalidation (an administrative proceeding regarding the Chinese Patent Re-examination Board) of the registration of one of the two designs relative to an old model of the Scarabeo vehicle (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 the 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
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 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. The dates for the hearings still have to be set.
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 in order for the parties to reach a settlement.
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 ¤1.2 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.
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; these amounts will be paid back to the Company if the rulings on the appeals are in its favour.
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.
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.
As regards PT Piaggio Indonesia, the Company appealed against the notice concerning transfer pricing for the 2015 period and is currently waiting for the date of the hearing to be set.
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 sentence 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 tax authorities before the Conseil Etat and the Company is currently preparing relative briefs.
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
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.
On 9 April 2018, the Parent Company exercised the call option of the debenture loan issued by the Company on 24 April 2014 for a total amount of ¤/000 250,000 and maturing on 30 April 2021. On 9 May, the remaining portion of this loan (equal to approximately ¤ 168,497 million) was paid back at the price of 101.25%, after the finalisation of the exchange offer launched on 9 April.
The transaction resulted in the following being recognised in profit and loss for 2018:
The operation comes under significant non-recurrent transactions, as defined by CONSOB Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006. For 2017, no significant non-recurrent transactions were recorded.

in accordance with article 14 of Legislative Decree No. 39 of 27 January 2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014
To the shareholders of Piaggio & C. SpA
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Piaggio Group (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2018, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2018, and of the result of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, as well as with the regulations issued to implement article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38/05.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of this report. We are independent of Piaggio & C. SpA (the Company) pursuant to the regulations and standards on ethics and independence applicable to audits of financial statements under Italian law. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were


Goodwill, which amounted to Euro 447 million as of 31 December 2018, is considered a significant item, equal to approximately 28 per cent of total assets.
Given the complex valuation processes in respect of a number of variables and the high degree of professional judgement required for this financial statement area, we paid special attention to management's estimates relating to the recoverability of the goodwill recognised in the financial statements in accordance with international accounting standard "IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets" adopted by the European Union. Management calculated the present value of expected future cash flows to determine the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit identified to which goodwill was allocated, to be compared with the carrying amount of assets and liabilities attributed to the respective cash generating unit.
In this respect, the main activities carried out by management were related to the confirmation of the allocation of goodwill to the cash generating units considering the current organisational structure, the estimate of the expected future cash flows, the methods used to calculate the discount rate and the steady growth rate of the financial cash flows beyond the reference time period.
the current organisational structure, which did not change compared with the previous years. We also obtained an understanding of and evaluated the estimates made by management with regard to the expected cash flows over a four-year period, inferred from budget data for 2019 and supplemented by forecast data for 2020-2022 (the "Plan"). As part of this process we examined sector studies and reviews.
Furthermore, with the support of PwC network experts, we retraced the methods used to calculate the discount rate and of the steady growth rate of financial cash flows beyond the time period of the Plan approved by management. The analysis was specifically focused on the cash generating units identified by management, verifying also the correct determination of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities attributed to each single cash generating unit. With the support of PwC network experts, we conducted sensitivity analyses in relation to the significant assumptions adopted by management in order to determine whether there was any impairment of goodwill. Finally, we verified the information included in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
Note D20) to the consolidated financial statements "Deferred tax assets"
Deferred tax assets in the consolidated financial statements of the Piaggio Group as of 31 December 2018 amounted to Euro 59.2 million and primarily related to temporary differences mainly due to provisions, as well as prior years tax losses.
The parent company Piaggio & C. SpA joined the National Consolidated Tax Convention of the IMMSI Group, whose consolidating entity is IMMSI SpA.
Our audit procedures consisted of assessing the reasonableness of the estimates made by management in forecasting the future taxable profit of the Piaggio Group companies, included in the plan approved by the Board of Directors on 21 February 2019. These activities were carried out with the involvement of PwC network experts. We also obtained the findings of the work performed by the Group auditor on the parent company IMMSI SpA in respect of the recoverability of deferred tax assets of all companies included in the National



We have verified that the directors approved the non-financial statement. Pursuant to article 3, paragraph 10, of Legislative Decree No. 254 of 30 December 2016, the nonfinancial statement is the subject of a separate statement of compliance issued by ourselves.

Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
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 operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are described in the Report on Operations of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These Financial Statements are expressed in Euros (¤) since this is the currency in which most of the Company's transactions take place.
The Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018 have been drafted in compliance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) in force at that date, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Commission, as well as in compliance with the provisions established in Article 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/2005 (Consob Resolution no. 15519 dated July 27/7/06 containing "Provisions for the presentation of financial statements", Consob Resolution no. 15520 dated 27/7/06 containing "Changes and additions to the Regulation on Issuers adopted by Resolution no. 11971/99", Consob communication no. 6064293 dated 28/7/06 July containing "Corporate reporting required in accordance with Article 114, paragraph 5 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/98"). The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, amended as required for the measurement of some financial instruments, and on a going-concern basis. In fact, despite the difficult economic and financial context, the Company has evaluated that there are no significant doubts about its continuing as a going concern (as defined in section 25 of IAS 1), also in relation to actions already identified to adapt to changing levels in demand, as well as the industrial and financial flexibility of the Company.
These Financial Statements are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A..
The Company has chosen to highlight all changes generated by transactions with non-shareholders in two statements reporting trends of the period, the "Income Statement" and "Statement of Comprehensive Income". The Financial Statements are therefore composed of the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity and these notes.
The Income Statement is presented with items classified by nature. The overall Operating Income is shown, which includes all income and cost items, irrespective of their repetition or fact of falling outside normal operations, except for the items of financial operations included under Operating Income and Profit before tax. In addition, income and cost items arising from assets held for sale or to be discontinued, including any capital gains or losses net of the tax element, are recognised in a specific item of the Financial Statements preceding financial performance.
The Statement of Comprehensive Income is presented in accordance with the provisions of IAS 1 amended. Items presented in "Other comprehensive income (expense)" are grouped based on whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
The Statement of Financial Position is presented in opposite sections with separate indication of assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity.
In turn, assets and liabilities are reported in the Financial Statements on the basis of their classification as current and non-current.
The Statement of Cash Flows is divided into cash-flow generating areas. The Statement of Cash Flows model adopted by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has been prepared using the indirect method. The cash and cash equivalents recorded in the Statement of Cash Flows include the Statement of Financial Position balances for this item at the reporting date. Financial flows in foreign currency were converted at the spot rate in force at the end of the reporting period. Income and costs related to interest, dividends received and income taxes are included in the cash flow generated from operations.
The Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity is presented as provided for in IAS 1 revised.
The Statement includes overall profit (loss) for the period. Reconciliation between the opening and closing balance of each item for the period is presented.
The most significant accounting policies adopted to prepare the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2018 are outlined below.
As provided for in IAS 38 - Intangible Assets, an intangible asset which is purchased or internally generated is recognised as an asset only if it is identifiable, controllable and future economic benefits are expected and its cost may be measured reliably. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition, construction or production of certain assets that require a significant period of time before they are ready for use or sale (qualifying assets), are capitalised along with the asset.
Intangible assets with a definite useful life are measured at acquisition cost or production cost net of amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is referred to the expected useful life and commences when the asset is available for use.
In the case of acquisitions of companies, acquired and identifiable assets, liabilities and potential liabilities are recognised at the present value at the date of acquisition. The positive difference between the acquisition cost and share of the Company at the fair value of said assets and liabilities is classified as goodwill and recognised in the financial statements as an intangible asset. Any negative difference ("negative goodwill") is recognised instead in profit or loss at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortised but tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, as provided for in IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets. After initial recognition, goodwill is recognised at cost net of any accumulated impairment losses.
At the disposal of part of or an entire company previously acquired from whose acquisition goodwill arose, the corresponding residual value of goodwill is considered when measuring the capital gain or loss of the disposal.
Development costs of projects for the manufacture of vehicles and engines are recognised as assets only if all of the following conditions are met: the costs can be reliably measured and the technical feasibility of the product, the volumes and expected prices indicate that costs incurred during development will generate future economic benefits. Capitalised development costs include only costs incurred that may be directly attributed to the development process. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a systematic criterion basis, starting from the beginning of production through the estimated life of the product.
All other development costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred.
As provided for in IAS 38 – Intangible Assets, other intangible assets which are purchased or internally generated are recognised as assets if it is probable that use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
These assets are recognised at acquisition or production cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life, if they have a definite useful life.
Other intangible assets recognised following the acquisition of a company are accounted for separately from goodwill, if their fair value may be reliably measured.
The amortisation period for an intangible asset with a useful life is revised at least at the end of each reporting period. If the expected useful life of the asset differs from estimates previously made, the amortisation period is changed accordingly.
The amortisation periods of intangible assets are shown below:
| Development costs | 3-5 years |
|---|---|
| Industrial Patent and Intellectual Property Rights | 3-5 years |
| Other | 5 years |
| Trademarks | 15 years |
| Licences | 10 years |
The Company has decided to adopt the cost method on first-time application of the IAS/IFRS, as allowed by IFRS 1. For the measurement of property, plant and equipment, therefore, the preference was not to use the fair value method. Property, plant and equipment were booked at the purchase or production cost and were not revalued. Borrowing costs related to the acquisition, construction or production of certain assets that require a significant period of time before they are ready for use or sale (qualifying assets), are capitalised along with the asset.
Costs incurred after acquisition are capitalised only if they increase the future economic benefits of the asset they refer to. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss when they are incurred. Property, plant and equipment under construction are measured at cost and depreciated starting from the period in which they are put into operation.
Depreciation is determined, on a straight line basis, on the cost of the assets net of their relative residual values, based on their estimated useful life.
The depreciation periods of Plant, property and equipment are summarised below:
| Land | Land is not depreciated |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 33 years |
| Plant and machinery | From 5 to 15 years |
| Equipment | From 4 to 5 years |
| Other assets | From 5 to 10 years |
Profits and losses arising from the sale or disposal of assets are measured as the difference between the sale revenue and net carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss for the period.
Lease contracts for property, plant and machinery where the Company, as lessee, basically undertakes all risks and benefits of the property, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised when the lease is established, at the fair value of the leased asset or, if less, at the current value of minimum payments due. The corresponding amount due to the lessor, net of borrowing costs, is recognised as a financial payable. The borrowing cost is recognised in profit or loss over the lease period, so as to produce an interest rate that is constant for the remaining amount due for each period. Property, plant and machinery of finance leases are depreciated during the useful life of the asset or the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the duration of the lease agreement, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the property at the end of the lease period.
Leases in which a significant part of the risks and benefits of ownership are not transferred to the Company as the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Payments made for operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessee), are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis for the duration of the lease agreement.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognised in the financial statements according to the equity method, as allowed by IAS 27 and as provided for by IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures). Subsidiaries, associates and joint venture are included in the financial statements from when control, significant influence or joint control commences until it ceases.
The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, are appropriately modified and reclassified, where necessary, to bring them in line with the international accounting standards and uniform classification criteria used by the Group.
In adopting the equity method, the investment in a subsidiary, associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the portion attributable to the investor of profit or loss of the investee realised after the date of acquisition. The portion of profit (loss) for the period of the investee attributable to the investor is recognised in Holding statutory profit or loss. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount of the investment are also due to changes in items of other comprehensive income of the investee (e.g. changes arising from translation differences of items in foreign currency). The portion of these changes, attributable to the investor, is recognised under other components of comprehensive income. If the portion of losses of an entity in a subsidiary, associate or joint venture is equal to or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the entity discontinues recognising its share of further losses. After the interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are recognised by a provision (liability) only to the extent that the entity has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate, subsidiary or joint venture. If the subsidiary, associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the entity resumes recognising its portion of those profits only after its portion of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised. Profit and losses arising from "upwards" or "downwards" transactions between an entity and a subsidiary, associate or joint venture are recognised in the entity's financial statements only as regards the portion attributable to minority interest in the subsidiary, associate or joint venture. The portion of profit or loss of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture arising from these transactions, attributable to the investor, is eliminated in the income statement under "earnings from investments", with a counter entry of the asset's value, in "upwards" transactions, and of the value of the investment, in "downwards" transactions.
If there is objective evidence of an impairment loss, the investment is tested for impairment, as described in the relative section, to which reference is made.
Separate financial statements are prepared in the currency of the primary economic sector in which the subsidiary, associate or joint venture operates (functional currency). For the purposes of adopting the equity method, the financial statements of each foreign entity are in euro, which is the functional currency of Piaggio & C. SpA and the presentation currency of the separate Financial Statements.
All assets and liabilities of foreign companies in a currency other than the euro are translated, using exchange rates in effect at the reporting date (currency exchange rates method). Income and costs are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Translation differences arising from the application of this method, as well as translation differences arising from a comparison of initial shareholders' equity translated at current exchange rates and the same equity translated at historical rates, are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and allocated to a specific reserve in shareholders' equity until disposal of the investment.

A ogni data di bilancio, la Società rivede il valore contabile delle proprie attività materiali, immateriali e delle partecipazioni per determinare se vi siano indicazioni che queste attività abbiano subito riduzioni di valore (test di impairment). Qualora queste indicazioni esistano, viene stimato l'ammontare recuperabile di tali attività per determinare l'importo della svalutazione. Dove non è possibile stimare il valore recuperabile di un'attività individualmente, la Società effettua
L'ammontare recuperabile è il maggiore fra il prezzo netto di vendita e il valore d'uso. Nella valutazione del valore d'uso, i flussi di cassa futuri stimati sono scontati al loro valore attuale, utilizzando un tasso al lordo delle imposte, che riflette
Se l'ammontare recuperabile di una attività (o di una unità generatrice di flussi finanziari) è stimato essere inferiore rispetto al relativo valore contabile, il valore contabile dell'attività è ridotto al minor valore recuperabile. Una perdita di valore è rilevata nel conto economico immediatamente, a meno che l'attività sia rappresentata da terreni o fabbricati diversi dagli investimenti immobiliari rilevati a valori rivalutati, nel qual caso la perdita è imputata alla rispettiva riserva
Quando una svalutazione non ha più ragione di essere mantenuta il valore contabile dell'attività (o dell'unità generatrice di flussi finanziari), ad eccezione dell'avviamento, è incrementato al nuovo valore derivante dalla stima del suo valore recuperabile, ma non oltre il valore netto di carico che l'attività avrebbe avuto se non fosse stata effettuata la svalutazione
Un'attività immateriale a vita utile indefinita è sottoposta a verifica per riduzione di valore ogni anno o più frequentemente,
La Società non ha in essere investimenti immobiliari. Secondo quanto consentito dallo IAS 40, gli immobili ed i fabbricati non strumentali e posseduti al fine di conseguire canoni di locazione e/o per l'apprezzamento patrimoniale sono valutati al fair value. Gli investimenti immobiliari sono eliminati dal bilancio quando sono ceduti o quando divengono

At the end of the reporting period, the Company reviews the book value of its plant, property and equipment, intangible assets and investments, to determine whether there is any indication that these assets may be impaired (impairment test). If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of the write-down. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset's cash generating unit.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net sale price and value in use. In measuring the value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted at their fair value, using a rate gross of taxes, which reflects current market changes in the fair value of money and specific risks of the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or of a cash generating unit) is estimated to be lower than the relative carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the lower recoverable value. An impairment loss is immediately recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset concerns land or property other than investment property recognised at revalued values. In said case, the loss is recorded in the relative revaluation reserve.
When the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the asset (or of a cash generating unit), except for goodwill, is increased to the new value arising from an estimate of its recoverable amount, up to the net carrying amount applicable to the asset if no impairment loss had been recognised. The reversal of the impairment loss is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
The Company has no investment property. As permitted by IAS 40, non instrumental property and buildings held for rental and/or asset appreciation purposes are measured at fair value. Investment properties are eliminated from the financial statements when they are disposed of or when they may not be used over time and future economic benefits from their sales are not expected.
Relations with subsidiaries and related parties are indicated in the specific section of the Notes, to which reference is made.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as held for sale when it is expected that their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale rather than through their use in company operations. This condition is only met when the sale is highly probable, the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale and management is committed to a plan to sell, which should take place within 12 months from the date in which this item was classified as held for sale.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
IFRS 9 adopts a single approach to analysing and classifying all financial assets, including those containing embedded derivatives. Classification and measurement consider the business model of the financial asset and the contractual characteristics of cash flows that may be obtained from the asset. Depending on the characteristics of the instrument and business model adopted, the following three categories are used:
(i) financial assets measured at amortised cost; (ii) financial assets measured at fair value, with the effects recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI); (iii) financial assets measured at fair value, with the effects recognised in profit or loss.
The financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
According to the amortised cost method, the value of initial recognition is subsequently adjusted to take into account repayments of principal, any impairment and amortisation of the difference between the repayment value and value of initial recognition.
Amortisation is based on the internal effective interest rate that represents the rate which, at the time of initial recognition, makes the present value of expected cash flows equal to the value of initial recognition.
Receivables and other financial assets measured at amortised cost are presented in the statement of financial position net of the relative provision for write-downs.
Financial assets representing debt instruments whose business model covers the possibility of collecting contractual cash flows and realising capital gains from sale (the hold to collect and sell business model), are measured at fair value, recognising the effects in OCI.
In this case, changes in fair value of the instrument are recognised as shareholders' equity in OCI. The total of changes in fair value, recognised in a shareholders' equity reserve that includes OCI, is reversed to profit or loss when the instrument is deleted from the accounts. Interest expense is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate, exchange differences and write-downs.
A financial asset representing a debt instrument that has not been measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured at fair value with the effects recognised in profit or loss.
Inventories are recognised as the lower of the purchase or production cost, determined by assigning to products the costs directly incurred in addition to the portion of indirect costs reasonably attributable to the performance of production activities in normal production capacity conditions and the market value at the end of the reporting period. The purchase or production cost is determined based on the weighted average cost method.
As regards raw materials and work in progress, the market value is represented by the estimated net realisable value of corresponding finished products minus completion costs. As regards finished products, the market value is represented by the estimated net realisable value (price lists minus the costs to sell and distribution costs).
The lower measurement based on market trends is eliminated in subsequent years, if the trends no longer exist.
Obsolete, slow moving and/or excess inventories are impaired in relation to their possible use or future realisation, in a provision for the write-down of inventories.
IFRS 9 establishes a new model for the impairment/write-down of these assets, with the aim of providing useful information for financial statement users on relative expected losses. According to this model, the Company measures receivables on an expected loss basis, replacing the provisions in IAS 39 which typically measure receivables on an incurred loss basis. For trade receivables, the Company adopts a simplified approach which does not require the recognition of periodic changes in credit risk, but instead the recognition of an expected credit loss (ECL) calculated over the ECL lifetime. In particular, the policy adopted by the Company involves the stratification of trade receivables in categories based on past due days, defining the allocation based on the historical experience of credit losses, adjusted to take into account specific forecasts referred to creditors and the economic environment.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
Trade receivables are wholly written down in the absence of a reasonable expectation of their recovery, or in the case of inactive counterparties.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by using the provision for bad debts and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. If collection of the consideration is deferred beyond normal terms applied to customers, the receivable is discounted.
The Company sells a significant part of its trade receivables through factoring and in particular, sells trade receivables without recourse. Following these sales with the total and unconditional transfer to the transferee of the risks and benefits transferred, the receivables are eliminated from the financial statements.
In the case of transfers in which the risks and benefits are not transferred, the relative receivables remain in the statement of financial position until the transferred sum has been paid. In this case any advance payments collected by the factor are recognised under payables as amounts due to other lenders.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, current bank accounts, deposits payable on demand and other high liquidity short term financial investments, which are readily convertible into cash and not affected by any major risk of a change in value. This item does not include bank overdrafts payable on demand.
Treasury shares are recognised as a reduction of shareholders' equity. The original cost of treasury shares and revenues arising from subsequent sales are recognised as movements of shareholders' equity.
Financial liabilities include financial payables, including amounts payable for advances on the sale of receivables, as well as other financial liabilities, including financial derivatives and liabilities for assets recognised regarding finance lease agreements. Pursuant to IFRS 9, they include trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are recognised at fair value net of additional transaction costs. After initial recognition, loans are measured at amortised cost and calculated using the effective interest rate. With the introduction of IFRS 9, in the event of the renegotiation of a financial liability that does not qualify as "extinction of the original debt", the difference between i) the book value of the pre-change liability and ii) the present value of the cash flows of the revised debt, discounted at the original rate (IRR), is accounted for in the income statement.
Financial liabilities hedged by derivatives are recognised at present value, according to procedures established for hedge accounting: gains and losses arising from subsequent measurements at present value are recognised in profit or loss and are offset by the effective portion of the loss and again arising from subsequent measurements at present value of the hedging instrument. On initial recognition, a liability may be designated at fair value recognised in profit or loss when this eliminates or considerably reduces a lack of uniformity in the measurement or recognition (sometimes defined as "asymmetric accounting") that would otherwise arise from the measurement of an asset or liability or recognition of relative profit and loss on different bases. This fair value designation is exclusively applied to some financial liabilities in currency subject to exchange risk hedging.
Company assets are primarily exposed to financial risks from changes in exchange and interest rates. The Company uses derivatives to hedge risks arising from changes in foreign currency and interest rates in particular irrevocable commitments and planned future transactions. The use of these instruments is regulated by written procedures on the use of derivatives, in line with risk management policies. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Company has opted to continue to adopt the provisions on hedge accounting in IAS 39, rather than in IFRS 9. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value, represented by the initial amount and aligned with the fair value at subsequent ends of reporting periods. Financial derivatives are used solely for hedging purposes, in order to reduce exchange risk, interest rate risk and the risk of changes in the market price. In line with IAS 39, financial derivatives may qualify for hedge accounting, only when the hedging instrument is formally designated and documented, is expected to be highly effective and this effectiveness can be reliably measured and is highly effective throughout the reporting periods for which it is designated.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
When financial instruments may be measured by hedge accounting, the following accounting treatment is adopted:
gains or losses deferred in the Statement of Comprehensive Income are recognised immediately in profit or loss. If hedge accounting cannot be applied, gains or losses from measurement at present value of the financial derivative are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
The Company recognises provisions for risks and charges when it has a legal or implicit obligation to third parties and it is likely that Company resources will have to be used to meet the obligation and when the amount of the obligation itself can be reliably estimated.
Changes in estimates are recognised in profit or loss when the change takes place.
If the effect is considerable, provisions are calculated discounting future cash flows estimated at a discount rate gross of taxes, to reflect current market changes in the fair value of money and specifics risks of the liability.
Liabilities relative to employee benefits paid on or after termination of employment for defined benefit plans are determined separately for each plan, based on actuarial hypotheses estimating the amount of future benefits that employees will accrue at the reporting date (the "projected unit credit method"). Liabilities, recognised in the financial statements net of any assets serving the plan, are entered for the period when the right accrues. Liabilities are measured by independent actuaries.
The cost components of defined benefits are recognised as follows:
Termination benefits are recognised at the closest of the following dates: i) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and ii) when the Company recognises the costs of restructuring.
Deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary taxable differences between the value of the asset and liability and their tax value. Deferred tax assets are measured only to the extent to which it is likely that adequate future taxable sums exist against which the deferred taxes can be used. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent to which it is no longer likely that sufficient taxable income exists allowing for all or a portion of said assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, considering the rates in effect or which are known to come into effect. Deferred taxes
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
are directly recognised in profit or loss, except for items directly recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, in which case relative deferred taxes are also recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their net value when applied by the tax authorities and when they may be lawfully offset in the same tax jurisdiction.
Payables are recognised at fair value and then measured based on the amortised cost method.
To guarantee suppliers easier credit conditions, the Company has established factoring agreements, and typically supply chain financing or reverse factoring agreements. Based on the agreements, suppliers may, at their discretion, transfer receivables due from the Company to a lender and collect amounts before the due date.
In some cases, payment terms are extended further in agreements between the supplier and the company; these extensions may be interest or non-interest bearing.
The Company has established a specific policy to assess the nature of reverse factoring operations. Based on the content of agreements, which differs by area of origin, the Finance function, at a central level, analyses the clauses of agreements in qualitative terms, as well as legal aspects in order to assess regulatory references and the type of transaction assignment (as provided for by IFRS 9 B3 3.1). In some cases, as payment terms have been extended, quantitative analysis is carried out to verify the materiality of changes in contract terms, based on quantitative tests as required by IFRS 9 B3.3.6.
In this context, relations, for which a primary obligation with the supplier is maintained and any deferment, if granted, does not significantly change payment terms, are still classified as trade liabilities.
Based on the five-step model introduced by IFRS 15, the Company measures revenues after identifying the contracts with its customers and relative performance to provide (transfer of goods and/or services), after determining the transaction price it considers due in exchange for performance, and evaluating the procedure for satisfying the performance (performance at a given time versus performance over time).
In particular, the Company measures revenues only if the following requirements have been met (requirements to identify the "contract" with the customer):
If the above requirements are not met, the relative revenues are recognised when: (i) the Company has already transferred control of the goods and/or provided the service to the customer and all or nearly all of the consideration from the customer has been received and cannot be reimbursed; or (ii) the contract has ended and the consideration received by the Company from the customer cannot be reimbursed.
If the above requirements are instead met, the Company adopts the following rules for recognition.
Revenues for the sale of vehicles and spare parts are recognised when control of the good is transferred to the purchaser, or when the customer can use in full the good or substantially benefit from it. Revenues are represented net of discounts, including sales incentive programmes and customer bonuses, as well as taxes directly related with the sale of the goods.
Revenues from the provision of services are recognised when the services are provided based on their progress. Revenues also include lease payments recognised on a straight line basis for the duration of the contract.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
Set-up grants are recognised in the financial statements when their payment is certain and are recognised in profit or loss based on the useful life of the asset for which the grants have been provided.
Operating grants are recognised in the financial statements, when their payment is certain and are recognised in profit or loss in relation to costs for which the grants have been provided.
Financial income is recognised on an accrual basis and includes interest payable on invested funds, exchange differences receivable and income from financial instruments, when not offset in hedging transactions. Interest receivable is recognised in profit or loss when it matures, considering the actual return.
Borrowing costs are recognised on an accrual basis and include interest payable on financial payables calculated using the effective interest rate method, exchange differences payable and losses on derivative financial instruments. The rate of interest payable of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method.
Dividends are recognised on an accrual basis, and therefore at the time when, following the resolution to distribute dividends by the subsidiary, the relative right to payment arises. In compliance with IAS 27 Revised "Separate Financial Statements", dividends distributed by subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognised minus their investment value.
Taxes represent the sum of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Taxes allocated on the basis of estimated taxable income determined in compliance with national laws in force at the year end are recorded, taking account of applicable exemptions and tax credits due. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of items directly charged or credited to shareholders' equity, in which case the tax effect is directly recognised in shareholders' equity.
Taxes are recorded under "Tax payables" net of advances and withheld taxes.
As from the 2007 reporting period, the Company has been party to the National Consolidated Tax Convention 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. This arrangement was renewed with effects starting from 2016 and will be operative up until 2018.
Based on the procedure, the consolidating company determines one taxable base for the group of companies that are party to the National Consolidated Tax Convention, and may therefore offset taxable income against tax losses in one tax return. Each company which is party to the National Consolidated Tax Convention transfers taxable income (taxable income or loss) to the consolidating company. The latter recognises a receivable from the consolidated company which is equal to the corporate tax to be paid. 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 offset at a Group level.
The preparation of the financial statements and notes in compliance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the values of assets and liabilities and on disclosure regarding contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates. Estimates are used to measure intangible assets tested for impairment (see § Impairment losses) and to identify provisions for bad debts, for obsolete inventories, amortisation and depreciation, impairment of assets, employee benefits, taxes, restructuring provisions and other allocations and funds. Estimates and assumptions are periodically revised and the effects of any change are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
In the current world economic and financial crisis, assumptions made as to future trends are marked by a considerable degree of uncertainty. Therefore the possibility in the next reporting period of results that differ from estimates cannot be ruled out and these could require even significant adjustments which at present cannot be predicted or estimated. The critical measurement processes and key assumptions used by the Company in adopting IFRS and that may have a significant impact on figures in the Financial Statements or for which a risk exists that significant differences in value may arise in relation to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the future are summarised below.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
Non-current assets include Property, Plant and Equipment, Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, Investment Property, Investments and Other Financial Assets. The Company periodically revises the carrying amount of non-current assets held and used and of assets held for sale, when facts and circumstances make this necessary. This analysis is carried out at least annually for Goodwill, and whenever facts and circumstances make it necessary. Analysis of the recoverability of the carrying amount of Goodwill is generally based on estimates of expected cash flows from the use or sale of the asset and adequate discount rates to calculate the fair value. When the carrying amount of a non-current asset is impaired, the Company recognises a write-down equal to the excess between the carrying amount of the asset and its recoverable value through use or sale, determined with reference to cash flows of the most recent company plans.
The Company has deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences and theoretical tax benefits from losses to be carried forward. In estimating recoverable value, the Company considered the results of the company plan in line with the results used for impairment testing. Net deferred tax assets allocated on this basis refer to temporary differences and tax losses which, to a significant extent, may be recovered over an indefinite period, and are therefore compatible with a context in which an end to current difficulties and uncertainties and an upswing in the economy could take longer than the time frame of the above-mentioned estimates. As the Company is party to the IMMSI Group National Consolidated Tax Convention, the recovery of deferred tax assets is related to results forecast for the company, and also to the taxable amounts of companies which are part of the IMMSI Group National Consolidated Tax Convention.
Provisions for employee benefits and net borrowing costs are measured using an actuarial method that requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the net value of the obligation. The actuarial method considers financial parameters such as the discount rate and growth rates of salaries and considers the likelihood of potential future events occurring on the basis of demographic parameters such as relative mortality rates and employee resignations or retirements.
The assumptions used for the measurement are explained in section 28 "Retirement funds and employee benefits".
The provision for bad debts reflects management's estimate of expected losses related to receivables. The Company adopts the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and recognises expected losses for all trade receivables based on the residual duration, defining the allocation based on the historical experience of credit losses, adjusted to take into account specific forecasts referenced to creditors and the economic environment (Expected Credit Loss – ECL concept).
The provision for obsolete inventories reflects management's estimate of impairment losses expected by the Company, determined based on past experience. Anomalous market price trends could have an effect on future inventory writedowns.
At the time of a product's sale, the Company makes provisions relative to estimated costs for the product warranty. This provision is estimated based on historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty jobs.
The Company recognises a liability for ongoing legal disputes when it considers a financial outflow likely and when the amount of the losses arising therefrom may be reasonably estimated. If a financial outflow is possible, but the amount cannot be determined, it is recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements. The Company is subject to legal and tax proceedings concerning complex and difficult legal issues, of varying degrees of uncertainty, including facts and circumstances relative to each case, jurisdiction and different applicable laws. Given the uncertainties concerning these issues, it is hard to predict with certainty the outflow arising from these disputes and it is therefore possible that the value of provisions for legal proceedings and disputes of the Company may vary as a result of future developments in proceedings underway.
The Company monitors the status of ongoing proceedings and consults its legal and tax advisers.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
The cost of assets is amortised/depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. The economic useful life of Company assets is determined by Directors at the time of purchase; the calculation is based on historical experience gained in years of operations and on knowledge of technological innovations that may make the asset obsolete and no longer economical.
The Company periodically evaluates technological and segment changes, in order to update the remaining useful life. This periodic updating could change the amortisation/depreciation period and therefore amortisation/depreciation charges of future years.
The Company is subject to Italian income tax laws. Tax liabilities are determined based on management valuations referred to transactions of which the tax effect is not certain at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognises the liabilities that could arise from future inspections of tax authorities based on an estimate of taxes that will be due. If the outcome of inspections differs from management's estimates, significant effects on current and deferred taxes could arise.
All amounts in the tables and in these notes have been rounded off to thousands of euros.
As from 1 January 2018, some changes have been made to international accounting standards and interpretations, without any significant impact on the Company's financial statements. The main changes are outlined below:
The new standard is applicable retrospectively for years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. IFRS 15 sets out the requirements for recognising revenues, introducing an approach whereby revenue is only recognised if contractual obligations have been met in full. According to the standard, revenue is recognised based on the following five steps:
The Company has carried out in-depth analysis of the different types of contracts relative to the sale of two-/threeand four-wheeler vehicles, spare parts, accessories and components to dealers, importers or direct customers that represent the most significant component, as well as types of contract with less economic impact (for example royalties). Following this analysis, the Company concluded that there is no significant impact arising from the adoption of the new standard, as the most significant component of revenue will continue to be recognised in line with previous accounting guidelines.
Revenues from the sale of two-/three- and four-wheeler vehicles, spare parts, accessories and components are recognised when control is transferred and when the Group meets its obligation transferring the promised asset to the customer.
One exception is a number of scheduled maintenance schemes and extended warranties that go beyond the statutory period (sold together with the vehicle) which, according to the new standard, constitute separate performance bonds and, as such, must now be identified and accounted for separately from the vehicle revenue. To date, these scheduled maintenance plans / extended warranties have, however, been limited in number and mainly provided in the Vietnamese market.
Other differences in approach refer to different ways of representing revenues, without however impacting results, and refer to a different approach to classifying some types of bonuses paid to dealers, consumer financing plans, procedures for representing funds returned by customers (only applicable for the US market in which there is a legal obligation to buy back the vehicle from dealers on the occurrence of certain conditions).
The Company has adopted IFRS 15 and all related amendments retrospectively, without amending 2017 financial statement data which are presented for comparison, but instead indicating the effects on various items of the 2018 financial statement items if the standard had not been adopted.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
The effects of adopting IFRS 15 on the income statement for 2018 are summarised in the following table:
| 2018 PUBLISHED | RECLASSIFICATIONS | 2018 WITHOUT THE ADOPTION OF IFRS 15 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | |||
| Net revenues | 799,573 | 7,865 | 807,438 |
| Cost for materials | (480,289) | (2,159) | (482,448) |
| Costs for services | (163,360) | (5,706) | (169,066) |
| Operating income | 12,727 | 12,727 |
The new provisions of IFRS 9: (i) amend the model that classifies and measures financial assets; (ii) introduce a new method for writing down financial assets, that takes account of expected credit losses; (iii) amend hedge accounting provisions and (iv) establish new criteria for the recognition of transactions amending financial liabilities. The provisions of IFRS 9 will be applicable for years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Early application was allowed.
The Company has adopted IFRS 9 and all related amendments retrospectively, without amending 2017 financial statement data which are presented for comparison, but instead indicating the effects on various items of the previous year's financial statement items if the standard had not been adopted, and recognising these effects in shareholders' equity at 1 January 2018.
With reference to the classification and measurement of financial assets, the Company adopts the following business models:
For both types, the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Held financial assets are measured:
As regards the introduction of new methods for the impairment of financial assets, the Company has revised its method for determining the credit loss allowance since 1 January 2018, considering expected losses, as provided for by the new standard, without having identified any significant impact on profit/loss for the year or on equity resulting form the adoption of IFRS 9.
The Company measures the credit loss allowance for an amount equal to the losses expected over the full lifetime of the credit, with a method that considers whether, at the reporting date, the credit risk relative to a financial instrument has increased significantly after initial recognition or otherwise.
For trade receivables, the Company adopts the simplified approach allowed by the new standard, measuring the credit loss allowance for an amount equal to the losses expected over the full lifetime of the credit.
Lastly, IFRS 9 has amended IAS 1 (82 ba) requiring the separate recognition of impairment losses (including reversals of impairment losses and impairment gains) in profit or loss.
The Company has opted for a policy choice approach, enabling it to refer to requirements in IAS 39 on hedge accounting. The new requirements of IFRS 9 have therefore been deferred to a time when the macro-hedging project will be complete.
Income Statement Statement of Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Position Statement of Cash Flows Changes in Shareholders' Equity Notes to the Financial Statements Attachments
With the introduction of IFRS 9, in the event of the renegotiation of a financial liability that does not qualify as "extinction of the original debt", the difference between i) the book value of the pre-change liability and ii) the present value of the cash flows of the revised debt, discounted at the original rate (IRR), is accounted for in the income statement. The Company has examined the liability management operations conducted in previous years. The effects deriving from the adoption of IFRS 9 are summarised in the following table:
| 2017 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
EFFECT OF IFRS 9 | OPENING BALANCE 1 JANUARY 2018 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | |||

The amendments clarify how some share-based payments are recognised.
These amendments clarify change in use, which is a necessary condition for transfer from/to Investment Property.
The main amendment concerns IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures".
The amendments clarify, correct or remove redundant wording in the related IFRS and did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements or on disclosure.
The amendment addresses the exchange rate to use in transactions that involve also advance consideration paid or received in a foreign currency.
In the month of January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 "Leases". This new standard will replace the current 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 will be 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 to pay for rent are recognised. The IASB has provided for the optional exemption for certain leasing contracts and low value and short-term leases.
This standard will apply from 1 January 2019. Early application was possible if IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" was jointly adopted.
The company has carried out in-depth analysis on all lease agreements in effect as of 31 December 2018, in view of new accounting arrangements for leases established in IFRS 16. The standard will mainly have an effect on the recognition of the company's operating leases.
At the end of the reporting period, the company had operating lease commitments which could not cancelled for ¤15 million, as indicated in section 45 below – "Contract commitments and guarantees". Of these commitments, approximately ¤0.5 million refer to short-term lease agreements, ¤0.5 million to leases of a modest value that will be recognised on a straight-line basis as lease and rental costs and ¤3 million refer to service agreements for which IFRS 16 is not applicable.
For remaining lease commitments, the Company will recognise assets for lease and rental costs amounting to approximately ¤9.5 million at 1 January 2019, other financial assets for ¤0.5 million and lease liabilities for ¤10 million, with a positive effect on Shareholders' equity of ¤0.1 million.
Based on ongoing agreements, the Group expects profit before tax to decrease by approximately ¤0.1 million for 2019, following the adoption of the new versions of the standards, which require costs to be recognised no longer on a straight line basis as lease and rental costs, but instead as (constant) amortisation and as borrowing costs (which are variable depending on the debt). EBITDA is expected to increase by approximately ¤3 million, as the amortisation of assets and interest in lease rights are excluded.
Operating cash flows will go up by approximately ¤3 million, while cash flows from financing activities will go down by approximately ¤3 million, as the reimbursement of the capital portion of lease liabilities will be classified as cash flow from financing activities.
Assets of the company in a capacity as lessor are not significant and therefore the Group does not expect considerable effects on the financial statements.
The Company will adopt the standard from the mandatory date of 1 January 2019, using the simplified transition approach and will not amend comparative figures of the year prior to first-time adoption. Assets recognised for lease and rental costs will be measured for the amount of the lease debt at the time of adoption.
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 Company 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.
No exceptional circumstances occurred requiring departures from legal provisions concerning Financial Statements pursuant to article 2423, section 4 of the Italian Civil Code.
The information required as of article 2428 paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 6 is given in the Report on Operations.

Separate Financial Statements of the Parent Company as of 31 December 2018
Development costs include costs for products and engines in projects for which there is an expectation, for the period of the useful life of the asset, to see net sales at such a level in order to allow the recovery of the costs incurred. Development expenditure for new projects capitalised in 2018 refers to the study of new vehicles and new engines
(two-/three-/four-wheelers) which will feature as the top products in the 2018-2020 range.
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.
During 2018, development expenditure amounting to ¤/000 8,741 was directly recognised in profit or loss.
Pursuant to article 2426, section 5 of the Italian Civil Code, the value of research and development costs still to be amortised equal to ¤/000 63,162 is unavailable in shareholders' equity.
This item refers to patents for ¤/000 2,935, know how for ¤/000 67,648 and software for ¤/000 19,583
As regards software, the increase for the year amounted to ¤/000 9,767 and mainly refers to the purchase of various licences, as well as the implementation of commercial, production, personnel and administration projects.

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 Trademarks, concessions and licences, equal to ¤/000 36,966, consists of:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2017 | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guzzi trademark | 13,000 | 14,625 | (1,625) |
| Aprilia trademark | 23,325 | 26,241 | (2,916) |
| Minor trademarks | 30 | 35 | (5) |
| Foton licence | 611 | 611 | |
| Total Trademark | 36,966 | 40,901 | (3,935) |
The Guzzi and Aprilia trademarks are amortised over a period of 15 years, expiring in 2026.
The value of other brands acquired with the Aprilia merger decreased during the year by ¤/000 5 following amortisation calculated on the basis of the estimated useful life.
The Foton licence was acquired following agreements signed in 2018 between Piaggio and the Foton Motor Group for the development and manufacture of a new range of light commercial four-wheelers that will be launched on the market starting from 2020.
The licence will be amortised over 10 years, from production start-up.
As specified in information on accounting standards, as from 1 January 2005 goodwill is no longer amortised, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (impairment test).
In compliance with IAS 36 the methodology adopted is based on the unlevered version of discounted cash flows.
The main assumptions used by the Company to determine future financial flows, relative to a four-year period, and the consequent recoverable value (value in use) refer to:
c. in addition to the period, a growth rate (g rate) has been estimated.
In particular, for discounting cash flows, the Company has adopted a discount rate (WACC) which differs based on different cash generating units. This reflects market valuations of the fair value of money and takes account of specific risks of activities and the geographic segment in which the cash generating unit operates.
In the future cash flows discounting model, a terminal value is entered at the end of the cash flow projection period, to reflect the residual value each cash-generating unit should produce. The terminal value represents the current value, at the last year of the projection, of all subsequent cash flows calculated as perpetual income, and was determined using a growth rate (g rate) which differed by CGU, to reflect the different growth potentials of each CGU.
| EMEA AND AMERICAS | ASIA PACIFIC 2W | INDIA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | |||
| WACC | 6.4% | 8.7% | 11.1% |
| G | 1% | 2% | 2% |
| Growth rate during the Plan period | 6.9% | 6.6% | 4.6% |
| 2017 | |||
| WACC | 5.9% | 8.4% | 10.3% |
| G | 1.0% | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| Growth rate during the Plan period | 6.9% | 8.3% | 6.8% |
The terminal value growth rate (g rate) is specific for CGUs, considering the area's growth potential.
The medium-/long-term growth rate (g-rate) for determining the Terminal Value of each CGU was considered as reasonable and prudent, in the light of:
– analysts' expectations for the Company (source: Analyst Reports 2018-2019);
– the long-term real GDP growth trend expected for main countries where the Group operates (source: Economist Intelligence Unit – EIU);
– forecasts for the reference sector (source: Freedonia, «World Motorcycle», May 2018).
This rate was determined based on the previous year.
The growth rate during the period of the Plan was determined using the trend expected for the reference sector as the benchmark (source: Freedonia, "World Motorcycle", May 2018).
Analyses did not identify any impairment losses. Therefore no write-down was recognised in the separate financial statements as of 31 December 2018.
In addition, and on the basis of information in the document produced jointly by the Bank of Italy, Consob and Isvap no. 2 of 6 February 2009, the Company conducted sensitivity analysis of test results in relation to changes in basic assumptions (use of the growth rate in producing the terminal value and discount rate) which affect the value in use of cash generating units. In the case of a positive or negative change of 0.5% of the WACC and G used, analyses would not identify impairment losses.
In all cases, the value in use of the Company was higher than the net carrying amount tested.
Given that the recoverable value was estimated, the Company cannot guarantee the absence of goodwill impairment in future financial periods.
Given the current market weakness, the various factors used in processing estimates could require revision; the Company will constantly monitor these factors as well as the existence of impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment decreased overall by ¤/000 1,203. Investments for the period amount to ¤/000 22,340 and mainly refer to moulds for new vehicles and engines that will be launched in the subsequent year, to drive shaft processing lines, engine test benches and the experimental workshop at Pontedera.
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 2018 borrowing costs for ¤/000 18 were capitalised, applying an average interest rate of 3.75%.

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 Company on an ongoing basis. According to results as of 31 December 2018, all covenants had been fully met.
The high yield debenture loan issued by the company in April 2018 provide for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practice on the high yield market. In particular, the company must observe the EBITDA/Net borrowing costs index, based on the threshold established in the Prospectus, to increase financial debt defined during issue. In addition, the Prospectus includes some obligations for the issuer, which limit, inter alia, the capacity to:
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). 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 principal 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 Company.

This section describes all financial risks to which the Company is exposed and how these risks could affect future results.
The Company considers that its exposure to credit risk is as follows:
| IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2018 | AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2017 |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid assets | 22,944 | 10,239 |
| Financial receivables | 14,797 | 16,355 |
| Trade receivables | 48,063 | 46,878 |
| Tax receivables | 13,434 | 13,110 |
| Other receivables | 70,982 | 59,816 |
| Total | 170,220 | 146,398 |
The Company 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 Company has established revolving programmes with some primary factoring companies for selling its trade receivables without recourse.
The financial risks the Company 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 this risk, cash flows and the Company's credit line needs are monitored or managed centrally under the control of the Treasury in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of financial resources as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint.
In addition, the Company finances the temporary cash requirements of subsidiaries by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or guarantees. A cash pooling zero balance system is used between the 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 31 December 2018, the most important sources of financing irrevocable until maturity granted to the Company were as follows:

Management considers that currently available funds, as well as funds that will be generated from operations and loans, will enable the Company 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 company operates in an international context where transactions are conducted in currencies different from the euro. This exposes it to risks arising from exchange rates fluctuations. For this purpose, the Company 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.

As of 31 December 2018, the Company had undertaken the following transactions to hedge the business exchange risk:

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 31 December 2018 the total fair value of hedging instruments for the economic exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was negative by ¤/000 12. During 2018, losses under other components of the Statement of Comprehensive Income were recognised amounting to ¤/000 12 and net losses from other components of the Statement of Comprehensive Income were reclassified profit/loss for the year amounting to ¤/000 96. The net balance of cash flows during 2018 is shown below, divided by main currency:
| IN MILLIONS OF EURO | CASH FLOW 2018 |
|---|---|
| Pound Sterling | 21.3 |
| Japanese Yen | (0.5) |
| US Dollar | (25) |
| Chinese Yuan39 | (29.4) |
| Total cash flow in foreign currency | (33.6) |
In view of the above, an assumed appreciation/deprecation of 3% of the euro would have generated potential profits for ¤/000 820 and potential losses for ¤/000 871 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 Company 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 31 December 2018, the following hedging derivatives were in use:
– a Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by the Parent Company for a nominal amount of \$/000 47,000. 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 31 December 2018, the fair value of the instrument was equal to ¤/000 8,797. The net economic effect arising from the measurement of the instrument and underlying private debenture loan was positive for ¤/000 489; 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 ¤/000 27 and ¤/000 -5 respectively, assuming constant exchange rates; whereas assuming a 1% reversal and write-down of exchange rates, sensitivity analysis identified a potential impact on the income statement, net of the relative tax effect, of ¤/000 13 and ¤/000 -13 respectively.

During 2018, transactions on the shares of parent companies were not carried out directly or indirectly. 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, this management and coordination concerned the following activities:
– as regards mandatory financial disclosure, and in particular the financial statements and reports on operations of the Group, IMMSI has produced a group manual containing the accounting standards adopted and options chosen for implementation, in order to give a consistent and fair view of the consolidated financial statements.
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.

To the Shareholders,
In this report – drawn up in accordance with article 153 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 and the second paragraph of article 2429 of the Italian Civil Code − the Board of Statutory Auditors of Piaggio & C. SpA describes the work and checks that it carried out in the financial year ended 31 December 2018, in compliance with the relevant legislation, and also taking into account the rules of conduct recommended by the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e dei Ragionieri (National Council of Professional Accountants).
In 2018 the Board of Statutory Auditors carried out its statutory duties in compliance with the rules of the Italian Civil Code, Legislative Decree no. 39/2010, as amended by Legislative Decree no. 135/2016, Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 (the Consolidated Law on Finance or "TUF"), the company's articles of association, and the rules issued by public regulatory authorities, also taking into account the rules of conduct recommended by the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e dei Ragionieri (National Council of Professional Accountants).
Over the course of the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors held 12 meetings, eight of which with the Control and Risk Committee.
The Board also attended all the meetings of the Board of Directors.
The Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or another member of the Board, attended the meetings of the Control and Risk Committee.
The head of Internal Audit also attended the meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as a permanent guest, to ensure continuous interfacing with the third-level control function.
In the course of its supervisory work, the Board of Statutory Auditors periodically obtained from the company's directors, also by attending their board meetings, information on the activities and most important business, economic and financial transactions approved and implemented by the company and its subsidiaries, also pursuant to article 150(1) of the TUF.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also monitored significant one-off operations, as defined in CONSOB Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006. It noted that, on 9 April 2018, a bond-exchange offer was launched, involving the exchange of bonds issued in 2014 for newly issued ones, as well as the simultaneous exercise of the call option on all the bonds not exchanged, subject to the success of the new bond issue on the market. This offer was taken up by 32.6% of the bondholders, for an overall amount of €/000 81,503.
1 On 18 April 2018 there was a high-yield bond issue (bonds with the same features as those issued in 2014), amounting to €/000 250,000. The maturity date of the bonds is 30 April 2025 and the fixed annual nominal coupon rate is 3.625% (as already mentioned, old bonds were exchanged for new ones to an amount of €/000 81,503, while the rest of the new bonds were paid for through the injection of new cash into the Group, with a view to financing the exercise of the call option for the full repayment of the previous issue). The notes to the financial statements describe the entries booked in the P&L account as a result of the operation.
3.1 – Checking of compliance with the law, the articles of association, and the Code of Practice for the Self-Regulation of the Committee of Corporate Governance of Listed Companies
Based on the information gathered in the course of its work, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not discover any transactions that were (i) not compliant with the principles of sound governance, not approved and implemented in compliance with the law and the company's articles of association, not in the company's interests, or not in line with the resolutions adopted by the shareholders' meeting, or (ii) manifestly imprudent, risky or such as to compromise the integrity of the company's equity value.
The Board of Statutory Auditors was not aware of any transactions involving a potential conflict of interest.
The Board of Statutory Auditors checked that the procedure governing business with related parties was compliant with the rules of law and was properly followed.
In particular, in accordance with that procedure, the Chair and/or other statutory auditors attended meetings of the Control and Risk Committee to discuss transactions with related parties; the Board received periodic information about the trends in this area.
The Board of Statutory Auditors judged that the Board of Directors, in its report and in the notes on the financial statements, had provided adequate information about transactions with related parties, taking account of the rules in force. So far as the Board of Statutory Auditors is aware, no intercompany transactions in 2018 were in conflict with the company's interests.
In 2018, there were no atypical or unusual transactions. The most significant ordinary transactions were prudent, did not conflict with the resolutions adopted by the shareholders' meeting, and were not such as to harm the company's equity value.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, noting that Piaggio & C. SpA had adopted the Code of Practice for the Self-Regulation of the Committee of Corporate Governance of Listed Companies, checked that its members satisfied the independence criteria, and that the criteria and procedures adopted by the Committee to evaluate the independence of directors had been correctly applied.
The Board of Statutory Auditors checked the adequacy of the internal control system and risk management system by:
− holding periodic meetings with the control functions Internal Audit, Risk Management and the Dirigente Preposto (the manager in charge of preparing the company's financial reports) – in order to evaluate their planning methods, based on identification and evaluation of the main risks involved in the processes and associated with the organisational units;
− examining the periodic reports by the control functions and periodic information on the outcome of monitoring;
The Board of Statutory Auditors, in its capacity as the Internal Control and Audit Committee, also following the changes made to the Italian system by Legislative Decree no. 135/2016, monitored the process and checked the efficacy of the internal control and risk management systems in respect of financial reporting.
The Board of Statutory Auditors periodically met the Dirigente Preposto to exchange information on the administrative and accounting system, and on its reliability to give a true picture of transactions.
In the course of these meetings, the Dirigente Preposto did not report any shortcomings in the operating and control processes that could alter the view that the administrative and accounting procedures are adequate and actually applied.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the Dirigente Preposto's report on the financial statements for 2018, which sets out the results of the tests on the controls, the main issues detected in light of the relevant rules of law and methodologies, and the appropriate remedies.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also noted the statements issued on 25 February 2019 by the Managing Director and the Dirigente Preposto, pursuant to article 154-bis of the TUF and article 81-ter of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971/1999. According to these statements, there are no shortcomings that could alter the view that the administrative and accounting procedures are adequate.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also took note of the checks carried out by the Dirigente Preposto with regard to the consolidated subsidiaries; no critical issues emerged from these.
The audit firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A, in the course of periodic meetings and in light of its Supplementary Report – required by article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and issued on 20 March 2019 – did not inform the Board of Statutory Auditors of any critical issues that could affect the internal control system in relation to administrative and accounting procedures; nor did it ever mention any reprehensible facts or irregularities to be reported in compliance with article 155(2) of the TUF.
The Board of Directors drew up, in compliance with the law, Piaggio Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. These were audited by the audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. As required by the rules of conduct issued by the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e dei Ragionieri (National Council of Professional Accountants), the Board of Statutory Auditors verified that the procedures governing the preparation and layout of the financial statements and directors' reports were followed.
In light of the above, there is nothing that leads the Board of Statutory Auditors to believe that the business was not run in compliance with the principles of sound governance or that the organisational framework, system of internal controls and accounting and administrative apparatus were not, as a whole, suited to the needs and size of the company.
The company has prepared a Non-Financial Statement ("NFS"): an obligation introduced by Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2017. These rules were supplemented by the "Regulation Implementing Legislative Decree no. 254 of 30 December 2016), published on 18 January 2018 by CONSOB in the form of Resolution no. 20267.
The company has prepared the NFS, as a section in the directors' report, on a consolidated basis and the Board of Statutory Auditors, in compliance with article 3(7) of Legislative Decree no. 254/2016, has verified – also in light of the audit firm's own report pursuant to article 3(10) of Legislative Decree no. 254/2016, issued on 20 March 2019 – that the NFS is complete and is compliant with the rules of law and NFS drafting criteria. The Board did not discover anything that needs to be mentioned in this report.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, in its capacity as the Internal Control and Audit Committee, checked the work of the audit firm, in compliance with article 19 of Legislative Decree no. 39/2010, as recast.
Following the so-called "Barnier Reform" and the ensuing new domestic legal framework introduced by Regulation (EU) No 537 of 16 April 2014 and Legislative Decree no. 135 of 17 July 2016, which has recast Legislative Decree no. 39/2010, the Board of Statutory Auditors has undergone appropriate training in this respect.
Moreover, at the invitation of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the company has drawn up adequate procedures for checking the payments made to the audit firm in accordance with the Barnier Reform.
As already mentioned, during the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors met the audit firm Pricewaterhouse-Coopers S.p.A. several times, pursuant to article 150 of the TUF, in order to exchange information about the work performed in the course of their respective duties.
The audit firm:
• issued on 20 March 2019 – in accordance with article 14 of Legislative Decree no. 39/2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 537 of 16 April 2014 – its audit reports, from which it emerges that the individual and consolidated financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2018, were drawn up clearly and give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profitability and cash flow of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and its group. These reports also certify that the directors' report on the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the information given in the "Report on governance and ownership structures" are consistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The audit firm submitted to the Board of Statutory Auditors, again on 20 March 2019, the Supplementary Report required in accordance with article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The Board of Statutory Auditors will bring the Supplementary Report to the attention of the next Board of Directors' meeting.
In relation to the financial reporting process, the Supplementary Report does not indicate any significant shortcomings in the internal control system that deserve to be brought to the attention of those responsible for governance.
In its Supplementary Report to the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Audit Firm made the statement on its independence required by article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014; there was nothing in this statement to indicate any situations that could compromise its independence.
Moreover, the Board of Statutory Auditors took note of the Report on Transparency drawn up by the audit firm and published on its website in accordance with article 18 of Legislative Decree no. 39/2010.
Finally, as already mentioned, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the content of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A.'s report on the NFS, issued in accordance with article 3(10) of Legislative Decree no. 254/2016 on 15 March 2018.
The Board of Statutory Auditors reports that in 2018, in addition to the auditing of the individual and consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of the company's subsidiaries, PricewaterhouseCoopers and its network were entrusted with the following work, with the approval of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

The audit firm also confirmed that, over the course of the year, as there were no grounds for doing so, it did not issue any other opinions required by law.
As recommended by the rules of conduct issued by the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e dei Ragionieri (National Council of Professional Accountants), in 2018 the Board of Statutory Auditors obtained all useful information from the Supervisory Board in order to verify that it had the necessary level of autonomy, independence and expertise to carry out its duties effectively.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also gathered information from the Supervisory Board about the adequacy, working and actual implementation of the Organisational Model adopted by the company.
The Supervisory Board reported on the work it carried out in the course of the year ended 31 December 2018, without flagging up any particular issues, and describing a situation basically in line with that required by the Organisational and Management Model referred to in Legislative Decree no. 231/2001.
***************
Apart from the facts that it has already described above, the Board of Statutory Auditors is not aware of anything to be reported to the shareholders' meeting.
During the year the Board received no complaints from the shareholders under article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code.
In the course of its work, and on the basis of the information gathered, the Board of Statutory Auditors has not discovered any omissions, reprehensible facts, irregularities or significant circumstances that need to be reported to the regulatory authorities or mentioned in this report.
In conclusion, the Board of Statutory Auditors – taking into account the specific duties of the audit firm when auditing the accounts and when verifying the reliability of the individual financial statements, the fact that the audit firm has issued an unqualified opinion, and the statements issued pursuant to article 154-bis of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 by the Dirigente Preposto – has no further comments that it wishes to make to the shareholders' meeting, pursuant to article 153 of the TUF, about the approval of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, as accompanied by the directors' report and as presented by the Board of Directors. Therefore it has no objection to the approval of the financial statements, the proposed allocation of the year's profit, and the distribution of dividends.
