Q1 2020 results

Foreword

Since Oct. 1 st 2019, some contributions to customers (previously included within the financial charges section of the Profit & Loss scheme) were treated as commercial premiums, hence netting revenues. However, for comparative purposes, in some cases, the figures herein presented may be "normalized", i.e. reported on a comparable basis with those of the previous year, hence excluding the effects deriving from the change of treatment of the financial discounts.

Moreover,"normalized" figures exclude the non-recurring costs related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Definitions & assumptions

In this presentation:

  • Adjusted stands for "before non recurring items and inputed costs of the stock option plan"
  • ForEx or FX stand for Foreign Exchange Rates;
  • "M" stands for million and "bn" stands for billion.
  • Normalized stands for excluding the change of treatment of the financial discounts and the nonrecurring costs related to the COVID-19;
  • Organic stands for net of Foreign Exchange Rates and hedging derivatives effects;
  • Q1 stands for first quarter (January 1st March 31st);
  • Reported stands for official data including the application of IFRS-16 accounting standard and the change of treatment of the financial discounts.

Production: diversification strategy as a strength

Profitability: actions the Group has taken straightaway

We acted immediately to mitigate the negative impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak on the business:

  • new personnel hirings temporary suspended;
  • other cost cuttings and savings:
  • general expenses;
  • merchandising;
  • travels and conferences;
  • utilization of governmental job aid measures (like the Italian "Cassa Integrazione") in every country, wherever available, and/or days of vacation.

Distribution: support from e-commerce

Both pure on-line players and the brick-andmortar retailers have boosted their sales in the digital domain. The growth of the on-line sales have shown the importance of investing into e-commerce and digital marketing. The tug of war between e-tailers and brick&mortar will continue in the coming years and we want to support all our partners and distributors in both channels, in the best way.

Over the years, the Group has maintained a healthy balance sheet, that today represents a precious shelter to sail safely across the crisis.

In order to further expand the available liquidity:

  • the company has undersigned new medium term financing for 150 M€, and
  • the AGM has rejected the proposal of the BoD to distribute a dividend (proposed 80 M€).

Give back: supporting local communities

The De' Longhi Group has donated 3.1 M€ for the fight against Covid-19:

"It is a deserved solidarity contribution - comments Giuseppe de' Longhi, Chairman of the Board – for a territory to which this company and my family feel intimately linked and the sign of a tangible presence, for what it's up to us as a company, in this moment of extreme need ".

Some De'Longhi employees work as volunteers in several communities.
